Bath Shower Ha Na

Skygazers were treated to a spectacular display of celestial fireworks over the weekend as the Earth flew through a cloud of cometary dust.  The Perseid meteors , shed by comet Swift-Tuttle, stage their show every August and are among the brightest of all shooting stars .  But clear skies across much of the Northern hemisphere meant that the full show was visible to many.   Astronomers took to their telescopes and cameras to capture stunning stills and footage of the peak of the shower on Saturday night. PERSEID METEOR SHOWER  The Perseid meteor shower occurs each year between July 17 and 24 August, peaking between August 9 and 13.

Perfect Bath Day Trip Itinerary " width="1024" height="768" /> The beautiful World Heritage city of Bath is one of England’s top highlights . Even if only you’re travelling in this country for a week or so, then you really can’t miss this stunning town situated in the country’s south west corner . Unbelievably, I hadn’t visited this gem in my home country, until this summer – 32 years in!

For years, Welch, executive director of the Texas Pastor Council , has worked to pass a bill that would ban local policies that ensured transgender individuals ’ right to use restrooms in public schools and government buildings that match their gender identity. The summer special session , which was quickly coming to a close, had been Welch and other social conservatives ’ second chance, an overtime round after the bill — denounced by critics as discriminatory and unnecessary — failed during the regular session that ended in May.   But with the Texas House unlikely to vote on a bathroom bill , Welch gathered with some of the most conservative Republicans in that chamber to make a final plea. The bill, they argued without any...
