Swash and Go

A familiar sight on Llandudno shore

There are two different types of waves – constructive and destructive. They can affect the coastline in different ways. When a wave reaches the shore, the water that rushes up the beach is known as the swash. The water that flows back towards the sea is known as the backwash. The energy of the swash and backwash determine the type of wave.

Today – 16th November 2021 – is the International Day of Tolerance

The United Nations introduced this Day in 1995 and, in their ‘Declaration of Principles on Tolerance’, stated their Resolve “to take all positive measures necessary to promote tolerance in our societies, because tolerance is not only a cherished principle, but also a necessity for peace and for the economic and social advancement of all people.”

“Tolerance is necessary between individuals and at the family and community levels. Tolerance promotion and the shaping of attitudes of openness, mutual listening and solidarity should take place in schools and universities and through non-formal education, at home and in the workplace.”
