Description:
A family fun day and tractor run has raised £6,105 for an amazing 10-year-old Coleraine girl who was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour.<br/><br/>Over 50 tractors took part in the charity parade on Sunday afternoon to support Isla Gault who underwent life-saving surgeries in February. <br/><br/>The convoy along the famous NW200 route was led by local biking hero Michael Dunlop in honour of Isla’s bravery.<br/><br/>The Damhead primary school pupil became seriously ill in February just hours after competing in the Ballymena Irish Dancing Festival.<br/>Her mum Hilary Gault, recalled: “Isla showed no symptoms of the tumour until later that night, after she had gone to bed, when she started being sick and said she had a really sore head.<br/>“Isla never had headaches so we knew something was wrong. She wasn't making any sense and was starting to lose consciousness.<br/><br/>“It was really scary; thankfully we live close to Causeway Hospital and got there at around 2.30am. Fortunately we saw a consultant and a CT scan showed a bleed in Isla's brain.<br/>“She was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital by ambulance for emergency surgery and an MRI scan the following day showed she had a brain tumour.<br/><br/>\

And close to half of Australians over 70-year-old -- feel the happiest times in their life have come post 50. But 9 out of 10 over 50 feel they face stereotypes around being older. Professor Nancy Pachana from the University of Queensland discusses the findings of the report.")

_meet-the-makers-the-amazing-hull-compass-manufacturer-that39s-like-a-living-museum.webp "There’s an unassuming shopfront on Market Place in Hull’s Old Town where, underneath the 1950s-style signs, behind the brass-bound clocks, compasses, barometers and telescopes which jostle for space in the windows, the business of B. Cooke and Son quietly takes place.<br/>Cooke’s has the feeling of a living museum, one of the last vestiges of the city’s nautical past, but while the maritime fortunes of Hull may have changed greatly over<br/>years, there’s a feeling that somehow time stands still at Cooke’s.<br/>That’s Cooke with an ‘e’ - unlike the more famous explorer, Captain James Cook,<br/>also born in Yorkshire - but the name also comes with quite a story…<br/>Barnard Cooke – an optician by trade - clearly had an eye for opportunity. Back in<br/>the 1840s and 50s he’d learned his craft alongside his brother, the renowned clock<br/>maker Thomas Cooke of York. Thomas was a bit of a star – son of a Pocklington<br/>shoemaker, he was a self-taught mathematician and physicist who carved out a<br/>reputation building telescopes, later opening a shop in York, then a factory, as his<br/>reputation as a manufacturer of excellent optical instruments spread around the<br/>world.<br/>Thomas’s younger brother Barnard had been his right-hand man as the business<br/>grew, but by the early 1860s Barnard was ready to strike out on his own.<br/>The first rail links between York and Hull had been established in the 1840s, new<br/>fishing grounds had just been discovered, this is the peak of Victorian prosperity, Hull<br/>was a major trading port with Europe and the city was booming.<br/>Barnard set up shop bang in the centre of town, close to the busy Queens Dock,<br/>where he began to supply the nautical trade with compasses, sextants, barometers,<br/>clocks and telescopes.<br/>B Cooke and Son grew with the city’s fortunes. Solid and reliable, a Cooke compass<br/>became the captain’s choice, synonymous with quality.<br/>Over the years, the business changed hands and moved premises, finally coming to<br/>rest in the mid-1950s in its current location.<br/>Brian Walker is 71 - and still making compasses – but he was just 15 years old in<br/>1968 when he became an apprentice compass maker at Cooke’s.<br/>“Back then the docks were filled with boats.” remembers Brian, “We had a van that<br/>used to go there twice a day and each time he’d come back with a tea chest full of<br/><br/>gauges, sextants, compasses, chronometers, barometers for fixing – we had to sort<br/>them before the ship sailed.<br/>“We had 25 staff – you had the office staff, then the chart department, the gauge<br/>department, the sextant department, then on top of the building was the compass<br/>department.<br/>“You could walk out the door and get anything you needed to do the job – all the<br/>suppliers where there - Humber Rubber, Humber Electricals - there were ship’s<br/>agents, chandlers, shipyards that you were supplying, all that expertise – there was<br/>always somebody behind a counter that would help you.”")
