Thirsk Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of North Yorkshire, and around 20 miles northwest of York, is the town of Thirsk.
The town's name is derived from Old Norse 'þresk', meaning fen/lake. In 1092 a Norman Castle was built here by the de Mowbray family, but was later destroyed in the 1170s under orders from Henry II who had fallen out of favour with the de Mowbrays.
In 1145 a market charter was granted to Thirsk. Historically, industries in the town included linen, leather, milling, brewing and malting among others.
Between circa 1430 and 1480, St Mary's Church was built (seen at the end of the walk). It was constructed from sandstone ashlar in the Perpendicular Gothic style, and is Grade I listed.

THIRSK North Yorkshire | The Ultimate Walking Tour. Thirsk is a historic market town between the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors, famous for being the home of James Herriot (of all Creatures Great And Small fame). We take a look around Thirsk from the market square clock tower to the James Herriot museum.
Thirsk is about 320km north of London, 230km south of Edinburgh and 35km north west of York. Known for its cobbled streets, bustling market atmosphere, and rich literary connections, Thirsk offers a delightful blend of history, culture, and outdoor activities.
Thirsk boasts a long and fascinating history, evident in its architectural heritage. The town centre features well-preserved Georgian buildings, a market square dating back to the 12th century, and the prominent 15th-century Thirsk Clock Tower, a local landmark.
Thirsk is perhaps most renowned for its association with the renowned veterinary surgeon and author, James Alfred Wight, who wrote under the pen name James Herriot. Herriot's best-selling series, "All Creatures Great and Small," chronicles the humorous and heartwarming tales of a country vet in the fictional town of Darrowby. This fictional town was largely inspired by Thirsk itself, attracting fans of the series to visit the town and experience the locations depicted in the books.
Things to Do in Thirsk:
The World of James Herriot: This interactive museum allows visitors to step into the world of James Herriot's books and explore the life and work of a country vet.
Thirsk Market: Held every Monday, this traditional market is a vibrant hub for local producers selling fresh produce, crafts, and regional specialties.
Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre: This centre provides opportunities to witness a variety of birds of prey in flight and learn about their importance in the ecosystem.
Sutton Bank National Park Centre: Situated a short distance from Thirsk, this center offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and serves as a gateway to exploring the North York Moors National Park.
Thirsk Racecourse: This historic racecourse, established in 1770, hosts regular flat horse racing meetings throughout the year.
Thirsk is a captivating town that promises a memorable experience for visitors seeking a taste of English history, culture, and the charm of a traditional market town.

Located in the county of North Yorkshire, and around 20 miles northwest of York, is the town of Thirsk.
The town's name is derived from Old Norse 'þresk', meaning fen/lake. In 1092 a Norman Castle was built here by the de Mowbray family, but was later destroyed in the 1170s under orders from Henry II who had fallen out of favour with the de Mowbrays.
In 1145 a market charter was granted to Thirsk. Historically, industries in the town included linen, leather, milling, brewing and malting among others.
Between circa 1430 and 1480, St Mary's Church was built (seen at the end of the walk). It was constructed from sandstone ashlar in the Perpendicular Gothic style, and is Grade I listed.
In 1580 draper Bartholomew Smith set up B. Smith & Sons from Thirsk. This drapery firm traded here for nearly 400 years - a feat of longevity which earned it an entry into the Guinness Book of Records.
From the mid-18th century, following the development of turnpike roads, Thirsk became a popular staging post off the Great North Road from London to Edinburgh. As such, a number of coaching inns accommodated the horses and passengers during this time prior to the arrival of the railways. These included the Golden Fleece and the Three Tuns, both of which remain to this day on Market Place, albeit as a hotel and pub respectively.
In 1841 the railway arrived in Thirsk with the opening of a station originally known as Newcastle Junction. Today, the station forms part of the East Coast Main Line which runs between London King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley, although at the time of writing, only Transpennine Express and Grand Central trains stop at Thirsk, meaning services here are less frequent than on other mainline stations. It is also worth noting that the station is located over a mile west of the town centre. Between the two is Thirsk Racecourse.
In 1896 Thirsk's Market Clock was built to mark the 1893 wedding of the Duke of York and Princess May of Teck - later to become King George V and Queen Mary. In 1937 the clock was converted to operate electrically. In 1956 it underwent major restoration work by public subscription.
In 1940 veterinary surgeon James Alfred Wight moved to Thirsk whilst in his 20s. He would later become an author under the pen name James Herriot. The town was part of the inspiration for his novels' fictional town of Darrowby - which is said to be a composite of not only Thirsk, but also nearby Richmond, Leyburn and Middleham. His former home on 23 Kirkgate has since been transformed into the World of James Herriot museum.
Thirsk is the birthplace of cricketer Thomas Lord, who founded Lord's Cricket Ground in London.

Located in the county of North Yorkshire, and around 20 miles northwest of York, is the town of Thirsk.
The town's name is derived from Old Norse 'þresk', meaning fen/lake. In 1092 a Norman Castle was built here by the de Mowbray family, but was later destroyed in the 1170s under orders from Henry II who had fallen out of favour with the de Mowbrays.
In 1145 a market charter was granted to Thirsk. Historically, industries in the town included linen, leather, milling, brewing and malting among others.
Between circa 1430 and 1480, St Mary's Church was built (seen at the end of the walk). It was constructed from sandstone ashlar in the Perpendicular Gothic style, and is Grade I listed.
In 1580 draper Bartholomew Smith set up B. Smith & Sons from Thirsk. This drapery firm traded here for nearly 400 years - a feat of longevity which earned it an entry into the Guinness Book of Records.
From the mid-18th century, following the development of turnpike roads, Thirsk became a popular staging post off the Great North Road from London to Edinburgh. As such, a number of coaching inns accommodated the horses and passengers during this time prior to the arrival of the railways. These included the Golden Fleece and the Three Tuns, both of which remain to this day on Market Place, albeit as a hotel and pub respectively.
In 1841 the railway arrived in Thirsk with the opening of a station originally known as Newcastle Junction. Today, the station forms part of the East Coast Main Line which runs between London King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley, although at the time of writing, only Transpennine Express and Grand Central trains stop at Thirsk, meaning services here are less frequent than on other mainline stations. It is also worth noting that the station is located over a mile west of the town centre. Between the two is Thirsk Racecourse.
In 1896 Thirsk's Market Clock was built to mark the 1893 wedding of the Duke of York and Princess May of Teck - later to become King George V and Queen Mary. In 1937 the clock was converted to operate electrically. In 1956 it underwent major restoration work by public subscription.
In 1940 veterinary surgeon James Alfred Wight moved to Thirsk whilst in his 20s. He would later become an author under the pen name James Herriot.

Waste to Energy, Low-carbon Future?
Waste to energy is a popular solution in Europe and has been proposed as a potential option for managing solid waste and generating electricity in Metro Vancouver. However, does incineration fit in with a low-carbon future?
Currently, Metro Vancouver's waste to energy facility is the largest of its kind in the lower mainland. Operated by Covanta Burnaby Renewable Energy, the facility turns 285,000 tonnes of garbage into steam and electricity annually, enough power for 15,000 households. Metro Vancouver is also proposing to build a $470 million waste to energy project to cope with future regional growth and is in the process of siting the facility. Opponents of waste to energy cite air pollution issues, and a dependence on a constant waste stream, which is counter to the goals of zero was...

Toxic Tanneries by Margrit von Braun, University of Idaho
AUA SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH SEMINAR
Margrit von Braun, Ph.D, P.E.
Visiting Professor, AUA School of Public Health
Dean/Professor Emerita, Environmental Engineering, University of Idaho
Founder, TerraGraphics International Foundation
Most of the world's leather is manufactured in the tanneries of Hazaribagh, a slum in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh and considered to be one of the most polluted places on Earth. The tanneries have no wastewater treatment, are largely unregulated and employ 15,000 people including many children. This seminar will discuss efforts to address the environmental pollution and unsafe working conditions based on a March 2014 site visit by the TerraGraphics International Foundation (TIFO) with Doctors without Borders (MSF).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes changes to biophysical environments and ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources caused directly or indirectly by humans, including global warming, environmental degradation (such as ocean acidification), mass extinction and biodiversity loss, ecological crisis, and ecological collapse. Modifying the environment to fit the needs of society is causing severe effects, which become worse as the problem of human overpopulation continues. Some human activities that cause damage (either directly or indirectly) to the environment on a global scale include human reproduction, overconsumption, overexploitation, pollution, and deforestation, to name but a few. Some of the problems, including global warming and biodiversity loss pose an existential risk to the human race, and overpopulation causes those problems.The term anthropogenic designates an effect or object resulting from human activity. The term was first used in the technical sense by Russian geologist Alexey Pavlov, and it was first used in English by British ecologist Arthur Tansley in reference to human influences on climax plant communities. The atmospheric scientist Paul Crutzen introduced the term "Anthropocene" in the mid-1970s. The term is sometimes used in the context of pollution emissions that are produced from human activity but also applies broadly to all major human impacts on the environment.

Waste to energy is a popular solution in Europe and has been proposed as a potential option for managing solid waste and generating electricity in Metro Vancouver. However, does incineration fit in with a low-carbon future?
Currently, Metro Vancouver's waste to energy facility is the largest of its kind in the lower mainland. Operated by Covanta Burnaby Renewable Energy, the facility turns 285,000 tonnes of garbage into steam and electricity annually, enough power for 15,000 households. Metro Vancouver is also proposing to build a $470 million waste to energy project to cope with future regional growth and is in the process of siting the facility. Opponents of waste to energy cite air pollution issues, and a dependence on a constant waste stream, which is counter to the goals of zero waste policy. Proponents believe that waste to energy is a responsible solution that generates electricity from a resource that would otherwise be sent to the landfill.
