A national civil rights group says it has not backed down from its vow to "shut Gwinnett County down."
On Friday, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which has been critical about the handling of a Taser-related death, is scheduled to formally announce plans for a protest march.
At a morning news conference, SCLC leaders will announce the date of the protest march and economic boycott they promised after a June meeting with District Attorney Danny Porter. After the heated two-hour meeting, SCLC President Charles Steele said he would organize a protest that would shut the county down.
The SCLC is one of two civil rights organizations that had urged Porter to pursue criminal charges against the Gwinnett sheriff's deputies involved in the May 2004 death of Frederick Williams. The Lawrenceville man died after he was repeatedly shocked with a Taser stun gun as deputies at the Gwinnett jail worked to restrain him.
"It is inconceivable how a district attorney can fail to bring charges in a case where it is clear that excessive force was used and that this excessive force led to the death of an individual," Steele said in an e-mailed statement. "A grand jury should decide whether there is probable cause to prosecute these officers, rather than relying upon the sole judgment of one man.
"In light of this, SCLC is calling for a nonviolent protest in the form of a national march to take place in Gwinnett County," Steele continued.
The SCLC and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said they were concerned with how Porter presented the case to a grand jury in April and had urged the district attorney to reopen the investigation.
Porter presented the investigation to a grand jury but did not show jurors a videotape of a deputy stunning Williams — who was handcuffed and manacled — with the Taser. Porter has said he offered to show jurors the tape, but they declined.
The grand jury was not asked to consider criminal charges against any specific deputies. Instead, the jurors were asked to use the Williams' case to consider whether to investigate the county's policies on Taser use.
Porter has said he considers the case closed. He said he did not see any evidence that deputies "intended to kill or criminally assault" Williams.
"I am not going to respond to a press release written by an organization that did not even bother to look at the file," Porter said in an an interview Tuesday.
He was referring to the file of the extensive 11-month investigation into Williams' death that includes interviews of all the deputies involved and the videotape of the jail altercation.
The SCLC will also announce Friday that it plans to meet with executives at Taser International, the Arizona-based stun gun manufacturer, Steele said. The organization has a meeting with Taser International CEO Tom Smith scheduled for Aug. 30, Steele said.
"We are receiving reports from all across the country concerning people dying at the hands of officers [using] Taser guns," said Steele. "Immediate action must be taken to address the rising tide of deaths associated with Taser guns, and SCLC feels that we must start at the root of the problem — with the manufacturer, Taser International."

Sono tornati! Tobias Sammet, frontman di Edguy, è tornato in studio al lavoro su un nuovo capitolo discografico dei suoi Avantasia. Si tratta del successore di “The Mystery Of Time”. Il nuovo album di Avantasia si intitola “Ghostlights” uscito a gennaio del 2016. Poi, a Marzo 2016, Avantasia saranno in tour che partirà da Berlino il 4 marzo e la tappa italiana è prevista per il 22 marzo all’Alcatraz di Milano.
Ospite della serata Michael Kiske, cantante tedesco, famoso nell'ambiente heavy metal e power metal per essere stato il cantante degli Helloween dal 1987 al 1993. Nella seconda parte della carriera si è dedicato invece a sonorità distanti dall'heavy metal e più orientate all'AOR, pur continuando a collaborare con band del calibro di Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Edguy, Timo Tolkki.
Tobias Sammet ha dichiarato: “Ho passato molti mesi in studio, lavorando segretamente ed in maniera ossessiva su qualcosa che rappresentasse un vero capitolo nella carriera di Avantasia. Devo dire che Avantasia sono una fantastica valvola di sfogo per la mia creatività. Il nuovo materiale scritto dalla band è dinamico e decisamente differente ma il marchio Avantasia è presente. Sono orgoglioso di quanto fatto finora. E non vedo l’ora di tornare on the road e calcare i palchi europei. In passato è stato molto difficile organizzare un tour con Avantasia, visti gli impegni di ciascuno di noi nelle altre band. Ma adesso tutto ciò si sta concretizzando e siamo prontissimi! Si tratterà di un grande show, della durata di tre ore abbondanti, che porterà i fan nel mondo di Avantasia. I brani che eseguiremo dal vivo comprenderanno tutte la storia del gruppo: a partire da ‘The Metal Opera’ fino a ‘Ghostlights’ e tutto ciò che c’è stato in mezzo!”

The Raven is a narrative poem first published in January 1845, by American writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the latter's slow descent into madness. The lover is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. The raven, sitting on a bust of Pallas, seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word, "Nevermore".
This digital collage I created with Poe's famous poem The Raven in mind. Its one of my favorites. Of course ravens are a central part of the collage. Also used is a dark and stormy background to give it a spooky feel. The bust of pallas has a raven sitting on it as the poem suggests. I also found a cool looking door to be the chamber door. A part of the poem is quoted on a scroll.
This collage can be found on a nice variety of products at Cafepress.com! Check profile for a link!

Little Steven, uno dei personaggi più eclettici della storia del rock, storico chitarrista della E Street Band di Bruce Springsteen, reduce dai successi televisivi di Soprano e Lillyhammer, torna in Italia sul palco dell’Alcatraz di Milano, il 13 giugno 2019 con il Summer Of Sorcery Tour.
Steven Van Zandt è un musicista, performer, songwriter, arrangiatore, produttore musicale, produttore televisivo, attore, regista, produttore teatrale, compositore di colonne sonore, produttore di eventi live, dj, attivista, storico, insegnante, membro della New Jersey Hall of Fame e della Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ed è riconosciuto come una delle principali autorità sia nel mondo del Rock and Roll contemporaneo che di quello tradizionale.
Dopo aver contribuito alla creazione del Jersey Shore sound insieme agli Asbury Jones è divenuto un membro fondatore della E Street Band di Bruce Springsteen ed è andato avanti fino a diventare un artista solista di successo, esibendosi con la sua formazione Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul. Nel 2017 ha fatto uscire “Soulfire” il suo primo album dopo 15 anni ritornando alle sue radici Rhythm and Blues che Rolling Stone ha inserito tra i migliori dischi del 2017.
Ha appena fatto uscire “Soulfire LIVE!” un box set contenente 3 cd registrato durante quello che è stato il suo primo tour solista dopo 20 anni.
Le sue canzoni sono state eseguite da artisti come Jackson Browne, Pearl Jam, Jimmy Cliff, Damian Marley, Margo Price, Gary U.S Bonds, Darlene Love, Nancy Sinatra, Brian Setzer, Black Uhuru e molti altri.
Steven ha co-prodotto gli storici album di Bruce Springsteen “The River” e “Born in the USA”. Ha anche prodotto album per Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes, Gary U.S Bonds, Ronnie Spector, Demolition 23, Majek Fashek e molti altri. Ha prodotto e arrangiato “Introducing Darlene Love”, l’album acclamato dalla critica della leggendaria Darlene Love, star del documentario premio Oscar “Twenty Feet From Stardom”.
Nel 1985 Van Zandt ha formato la Artists United Against Apartheid e ha scritto “Sun City” una canzone a cui hanno partecipato più di 50 Artisti per protestare contro l’Apartheid. Molti analisti politici ritengono che quella canzone sia stata uno dei colpi fatali all’Apartheid, con Nelson Mandela rimesso in libertà solo pochi anni dopo. Steve è stato premiato due volte dall’ONU per il suo attivismo politico: per il progetto Sun City e per il suo coinvolgimento nell’ “International Peace Day” insieme a Peter Gabriel. Ha anche fondato la Solidarity Foundation per promuovere la sovranità delle popolazioni indigene e per favorire uno sviluppo economico in armonia con la terra.
Steven ha recitato in tutte le sette stagioni dei Soprano interpretando Silvio Dante, un personaggio da lui creato. Ha poi recitato, scritto, prodotto, musicato e diretto (l’ultimo episodio) la serie Lilyhammer che è stato il primo contenuto originale programmato da Netflix.
Steve e sua moglie Maureen sono membri del board del Count Basie Theatre e hanno contribuito all’espansione del leggendario teatro ad uno dei migliori Arts Center del mondo che comprende musica, teatro e danza.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 20th of March 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories or information to add please comment below.

In the late 1950's into the 1960's I was of the opine that H. Beam Piper was one of the better writers of science-fiction and was deeply saddened when I read that he committed suicide on November 6, 1964 at the age of 60. I moved on to other authors and literary interest but always retained my recollected admiration for the worlds Piper created that delighted my teen-age years.
Recently at one of the few remaining used paperback bookstores in Massachusetts I found several reprinted titles of his works. The book "Federation" was one of the volumes. I recalled from the story titles having read some of them when first published and eagerly began the book.
I regret to state that I was very disappointed. He ideas and writing style have not aged gracefully. In fact the stories in this collection read like the common space operas the populated the pulps in the 50-60's which in fact they were.
Unfortunate we will never know if Mr. Piper could of developed at a writer, alas today he is a slowly forgotten footnote in the history of science-fiction and none of his titles have been reprinted for mass circulation in many years.
It is a credit to the perseverance to document his works and admiration for Piper that Jerry Pournelle and John F. Carr and others keep his name from science-fiction oblivion. Piper's life story, what little is known about this reclusive man, would I believe make for an very interesting biography.

Quarto sized publication comprising 347 pages, The Goldesborough Memorials were originally published by the Reverend Albert Goldsborough, the product of his twenty year labour in 1930.
These reprints are very poor in quality, however conveniently affordable as a facsimile of the original. The contents are a concise compedium of reference for the Goldsborough historian, with information dating from the times of Norman invasion of England, William The Conquerer and the Domesday book of 1085AD, up to the date of publication. Pedigree for the many antecedent lines of Goldsborough forebears are also well defined.
Purchase from here: www.quintinpublications.com/familygenealogies_gled.html US$50:00, or check e-bay for listings. Copies quite often appear under genealogy.
One may be lucky enough to discover a valid 20th century antipodean (Australian) family connection within the covers of this book. We have not been that fortunate, with the exception of a very distant link by onomastic relevance only to the prominent Richard Goldsbrough from Melbourne for the Goldsbrough - Mort empire of wool and pastoral holdings.
GOLDSBROUGH, RICHARD (1821-1886), woolbroker, was born on 17 October 1821 at Shipley, Yorkshire, England, the only son of Joshua Goldsbrough, butcher, and his wife Hannah, née Speight. In 1842 he completed a seven-year apprenticeship in near-by Bradford, set up in business in that city and married Emma, daughter of Samuel Hodgson, a Halifax butcher living in Ovenden. His business as woolstapler was small but prospered modestly. His success depended partly on the skill with which he sorted and repacked purchased wools to meet the individual requirements of different manufacturers. With this skill he arrived at Melbourne in the Warrior on 29 November 1847 and founded his business in September 1848. His wife remained in England until at least 1850.
www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A040294b.htm
Dispelling the myth - we are not related!
There remains some conjecture concerning kinship to Richard, comparing both (aside from the difference in the spelling of family name). Richard whose birthplace of Shipley is located about 20 miles (30Km) distant from the Goldsborough community; with that of Samuel (also an only son) the Gardener's Assistant from rural countryside Goldsborough - Knaresborough, and Margaret his first wife, then later Louisa a "Gents House Servant".
We can see there are contentious contradictions in origin to the families, their humble backgrounds and folk lore passed down since emmigration to our successive generations. The facts should dispel any myths for assumed links with the Goldsborough gentry, Lords of the Manor, wealth and circumstance, and more relevant; Richard Goldsbrough. Samuel in Australia, later became a Stone-Mason.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by N. & A. C. B. The card was printed in Great Britain. Note the ads for the Ladies Orchestra, Beecham's Pills, and the sign stating that 'Steamers Sail From This Pier.'
The card was posted in Saltash using a ½d. stamp on Monday the 3rd. December 1917. Saltash is a historic town in eastern Cornwall located on the west bank of the River Tamar directly opposite Plymouth.
The card was sent to:
Mrs. Hoar,
County Police,
Bursledon Road,
Hedge End,
Nr. Botley,
Hants.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear M & D,
Have just received
registered letter so
needn't trouble about
sending any m. in one
again then. The letter
was from Hammond.
Will get a what you
say.
Am going out for a
walk this afternoon &
might go to church
again tonight.
W. Hall wishes to be
remembered, he is
home on leave.
Goodbye."
The Battle of Cambrai
So what else happened on the day that that the card was posted?
Well, on the 3rd. December 1917, the German Second Army captured the village of La Vacquerie, and pushed British forces back behind the St. Quentin canal.
The Battle of Jerusalem
Also on that day, British forces recaptured the Palestinian village of Beit Ur el Foqa that they had lost to the Ottomans five days earlier. Ottoman resistance in the Judaean Mountains began to taper off everywhere.
An Attack Near Ypres
Also on that day, the New Zealand Division attacked the Polderhoek Spur ridge near Ypres, Belgium but failed to complete their objective.
The division held their ground against German counterattacks for a month, amassing a total 1,198 casualties by the end of December.
A Lynching in Belarus
Also on the 3rd. December 1917, Nikolay Dukhonin, the last commander-in-chief of the Imperial Russian Army, was lynched and murdered at a railway station in Mogilev, Belarus after surrendering to Soviet custody.
Red Army officer Pavel Dybenko was alleged to have given the order to allow a mob of soldiers and sailors to bayonet Dukhonin to death, and then to use his corpse as target practice.
Wilhelm Brasse
The day also marked the birth in Żywiec, Austria-Hungary (present-day Poland) of Wilhelm Brasse.
Wilhelm was a Polish photographer and Holocaust survivor, known for his photo work during his imprisonment at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Wilhelm died at the age of 94 in 2012.
Trained before the beginning of World War II as a portrait photographer at his aunt's studio, he was ordered by his SS supervisors to photograph prisoners' work, criminal medical experiments, and portraits of the prisoners for the files.
Brasse estimated that he took about 40,000 to 50,000 "identity pictures" from 1940 until 1945, before being forcibly moved to another concentration camp in Austria, where he was liberated by the American forces in early May 1945.
Mengele had insisted that Brasse take the "identity" portraits of Auschwitz prisoners "in three poses: from the front and from each side."
After taking hundreds of thousands of such photographs, Brasse and others disobeyed later Nazi orders to destroy them, yet only some of his photos have survived.
Although it is hard to say which were Brasse's, since camp photos as a rule did not carry the photographer's name, Jarosław Mensfelt, spokesman of the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum, says some 200,000 such pictures were taken, with name, nationality and profession attached.
About 40,000 of these pictures are preserved, some with accompanying identification cards, and 2,000 of these are on display in the museum. Others are at Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust memorial.

Bagattelle d’Inverno, l’ultima grande sfida #snellobb04
Birichinate, cammuffamenti, trasvestimenti, scherzi… insomma, in una parola: Carnevale!
Comunque lo si dica e comunque lo si festeggi, il Carnevale è da secoli una festa in cui la parola d’ordine è “divertirsi”.
Quindi, bando all’austerità e bando alle restrizioni, potevamo, noi di MondoSnello, non cogliere quest’occasione perfetta di Gusto e di Benessere, per vivere l’ultimo grande appuntamento delle gare di cucina di Snello Blind Box?
Eccoci qui, allora, amici di Mondosnello, estimatori dei prodotti Snello Rovagnati e appassionati Food Blogger che partecipate con noi ormai da un tempo che comincia a farsi lungo, perfino “tradizionale” (proprio come ci piace ;-)) a darvi il benvenuto a questa quarta sfida tra pentole, fornelli e… qualcosa di speciale – sennò che Carnevale è!
I fantasiosi piatti saranno assaggiati e votati da una giuria di esperti gastronomi di altissimo livello, a cominciare da Gil Grigliatti, gourmet di cultura ed esperienza internazionale. Da giovane è stato fiduciario Slow Food, nonché ispettore della guida dei ristoranti del Gambero Rosso per diversi anni. Autore del blog bilingue di cultura enogastronomica isymposium.org. Ancora Paolo Barichella, esperto di Food Design, autore del blog barichella.it; Alessia Cipolla, architetto e sommelier, autrice de lacostruzionedelgusto.it; Alessandro Salamone, reduce dalla trasmissione di La7 Chef per un giorno, autore di spaghettibites.com e ancora Angela Tomaiuolo co-fondatrice del web magazine milanodabere.it. Inoltre sarà presente Giacomo Kratter, otto volte campione italiano ed ora allenatore della Nazionale Italiana Snowboard. Quella da snowboard però non è l’unica tavola che ama: infatti Giacomo è un grande appassionato di cucina e adora farsi coccolare in ristoranti di lusso.
La giuria per l’occasione sarà presenziata dallo chef stellato e pluripremiato Davide Scabin, uno dei più apprezzati in Italia e all’estero, noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione, nei panni di giudice dei cuochi in gara, a La Prova del Cuoco condotto su Rai1 da Antonella Clerici.
Per questo, abbiamo deciso di mettere insieme una serie di ingredienti saporiti, variegati, originali, proprio come in ogni ricetta gourmet che si rispetti:
- un pizzico di tradizione – la sede di InKitchen Loft, che ormai è prontissima ad accoglierci, in qualunque veste ci presentiamo
- e uno di modernità – quello che emana netto dalle protagoniste della gara, giovani donne che si muovono agili tra vite professionali sfidanti e articolati ménage familiari
- una buona dose di fantasia - fatta di maschere, costumi e colori sgargianti
- e l’ingrediente segreto – le nostre amate BlindBox, chiuse fino all’ultimo secondo anche al più ardito degli sguardi
- il tutto cosparso con una spruzzata di giocosità bambina – grazie a un buon numero di piccoli “scavezzacollo” che avranno il loro tavolo, i loro ingredienti, i loro cibi, e soprattutto una chef d’eccezione - Stefania Corrado, la “Multitasking Chef” che più che presentazioni merita i nostri più sentiti complimenti ;-) – a guidarli alla scoperta del buon cibo, del gusto e del mangiare bene… sapendolo preparare.
Già, perché, in fondo, soprattutto in un’era estremamente tecnologica come la nostra e come quella di quell’immediato futuro in cui saranno loro i protagonisti del mondo – far mettere “le mani in pasta” ai nostri bimbi lo consideriamo un onore, oltre che un piccolo grande contributo all’educazione dei “buoni mangiatori” di domani…
Amanti della cucina, appassionate del gusto, attente all’armonia dei sapori e alla cura per la buona e la bella tavola
Estimatrici di ricette snelle - per velocità, capacità, leggerezza - esperte nella valorizzazione degli ingredienti di stagione e nella rivisitazione moderna di piatti tradizionali, si sfideranno, si concentreranno su pentole e fornelli dimenticando tutto il resto, per dare il meglio di sé.
Ecco le Food Blogger di Snello BlindBox 04 – Bagattelle d'Inverno, vere animatrici dell'evento, che con le loro ricette e la loro esperienza renderanno onore ai prodotti Snello, Gusto e Benessere.
Loro si presentano così...
Lina D’Ambrosio
spadellatissima.com
Quando le chiedi di descriversi ,lei si presenta così: "Sono industrial designer e grafica, con una grande passione, quella del Food Blogging". Eppure non è tutto: inguaribile amante del buon cibo, dei viaggi, dell'arte e della fotografia, è sempre irresistibilmente affascinata mdai molteplici modi in cui un animo creativo può riuscire a esprimersi. Una frase che la descrive: "Mi piacciono la semplicità e la genuinità delle cose fatte in casa."
Serena Oliva
cucchiaiodistelle.com
Nella vita professionale, è architetto e designer, e per questo studia la relazione tra gli esseri umani e la tecnologia. Tuttavia, ha anche un'altra vita, quella da foodie, in cui è innanzitutto una mamma e una Food Blogger che progetta ricette, cucina piatti colorati, sani e golosi, cuoce il pane in casa e disegna insieme ai suoi bambini. Il motto che ha scelto per sé? "If in doubt, bake a cake"
Irene Prandi
Psicologa, piemontese, animata da una vera passione per la comunicazione e la condivisione, ha trovato nell'arte del cibo un mezzo straordinario per celebrare entrambe. Il suo viaggio da Food Blogger inizia con un blog creato in sordina, tuttavia in molti la notano e in ancora di più la seguono. Insomma, et voilà, il suo cammino continua rigoglioso, condito da sapori, ricette, un grande amore per il territorio, e tanta curiosità per tutto ciò che è "altro".
Arianna Vianelli
unafranciacortinaincucina.com
Non c'è dubbio, il suo nome è già un affermazione forte e chiara. Dice subito chi è e da dove viene. Almeno tanto quanto il suo blog nato dal desiderio di ritagliarsi uno spazio tutto proprio dove raccogliere e condividere le sue più grandi passioni: la cucina, il vino, gli amici e la Franciacorta.
Insomma, semplicità e ironia, ricette ed eventi, vini locali
e non solo, sono gli ingredienti di "una franciacortina in cucina".
Quindi, tra la stuzzicante prospettiva di gustosissimi lecca lecca di parmigiano con crudo e bresaola e prove di formine su pasta sfoglia con fette di prosciutto, in attesa delle prelibatezze imprevedibili che ci prepareranno le nostre sfidanti – adulte ;-) – non resta che invitarvi a conoscere un po’ meglio Lina, Serena, Irene e Arianna, giovani, pimpanti e agguerrite Food Blogger che ancora una volta ci delizieranno di una versione inconsueta e sorprendente dei prodotti che amiamo di più, con un occhio attento, come sempre, alla stagionalità.
SnelloBlindBox_04_CucinaTuVi abbracciamo, dunque, in un turbinio di coriandoli che non lascia presagire niente di… scontato :-)
e invitiamo tutti voi a fare festa con noi a Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno il 6 marzo 2014, alle ore 18.30 e – perché no – a cimentarvi, insieme alle nostre “chef per passione”, in ricette e piatti che, siamo sicuri, saranno gustosissimi. Come raccogliere la sfida? Semplice, partecipando a Snello BlindBox CucinaTu – l’iniziativa pensata apposta per la #gente_di_MondoSnello che ormai ci segue da molto tempo.
In attesa di assaporare tutto il meglio che Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno saprà regalarci – e non abbiamo dubbi - a presto!

In apertura ai concerti di Dropkick Murphys, e Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls.
Formatisi nel 1912, quando Robert the Bard era poco piu' di un sedicenne, i Dirty Bastards vagabondarono lungo un secolo per tutto il globo, suonando nelle strade, nei pub, nelle folk session e nelle peggiori bettole. Dalle Orkney fino a Dover per poi sbarcare da Holyhead a Dublino e attraversare tutta l’Irlanda, e giù ancora fino alla Trinacria e a risalire verso l’Insubria, dove sopravvivono ancor oggi, pur non senza difficoltà. Nel corso di un secolo di musica i Dirty Bastards hanno evoluto il proprio sound, inserendo strumenti ed un'attitudine rock, ma senza per questo scordare le proprie radici folk e la propria irresponsabile vocazione alcolica...
Ok, questa è la versione romantica della storia. Volete quella vera? Il progetto Dirty Bastards nasce il 28 giugno 2007 con l'intenzione di mettere in piedi uno show unico e rendere omaggio ad un caro amico scomparso, riunendo musicisti veterani dell’area tra Varese e Milano, in un concerto bislacco in cui si andavano ad unire le passioni comuni per la musica rock & heavy ed il folk irlandese, tra chitarre elettriche, mandolini, banjo e molto altro ancora. Da quello che sarebbe dovuto essere un unico concerto, trascinati dall’entusiasmo del pubblico e dalla passione per la musica, è nata un’avventura che si è deciso di portare avanti, con l’intento di riproporre un repertorio musicale ed artistico destinato altrimenti a scomparire e unendo l’energia vibrante di un concerto rock all’approccio genuino di una pub session d’altri tempi.

Queen's College, Cork was founded by the provisions of an act which enabled Queen Victoria to endow new colleges for the "Advancement of Learning in Ireland". Under the powers of this act, the three colleges of Belfast, Cork and Galway were incorporated on 30 December 1845. The college opened in 1849 with 23 professors and 181 students and a year later became part of the Queen's University of Ireland.
On this site (on a hill overlooking the valley of the Lee), the Tudor Gothic quadrangle and early campus buildings were built by Deane and Woodward.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Sankeys Photo Press, Barrow-in-Furness. The image is a real photograph.
The card was posted in Cumberland using two ½d. stamps on Thursday the 11th. June 1931. It was sent to:
W. K. Johnson Esq.,
Cambridge Avenue,
Lincoln.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Wasdale Head,
Cumberland.
Don't let this picture
deter you from ever
coming to the Lakes!
We're going on Scafell
Pike tomorrow if it's fine,
but we're not prepared
for rock climbing!
Walked here today from
Keswick via Buttermere.
Having perfect weather.
Yours,
E. T. P."
Wow! The distance from Keswick to Wasdale Head via Buttermere is about 17 miles of undulating ground.
Wasdale Head and Will Ritson
Wasdale Head is a scattered agricultural hamlet in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. Wasdale Head claims to be home of the highest mountain, deepest lake, smallest church and biggest liar in England. The last of these claims refers to Will Ritson, who paradoxically proclaimed himself as such.
Will Ritson (1808–1890) was landlord of the Wastwater Hotel (now called the Wasdale Head Inn) in Wasdale, and he told grand fables.
One, for example, was about a wounded eagle he found near the inn. He kept it in his chicken coop and nursed it back to health. One night the coop was raided by a bitch hound.
The eagle was unscathed, but five months later the dog gave birth to a litter of winged hounds. The World's Biggest Liar competition is held annually in his memory.
Scafell Pike
Scafell Pike is the highest and the most prominent mountain in England, at an elevation of 978 metres (3,209 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Lake District National Park, in Cumbria, and is part of the Southern Fells and the Scafell massif.
Scafell Pike forms part of the inactive Scafells volcano.
The name Scafell is believed to derive from the Old Norse skalli fjall, meaning the fell with the bald summit, and is first recorded in 1578 in the corrupted form Skallfield.
Formerly the name was spelled Scawfell, which better reflects local pronunciation. This spelling has declined due to the Ordnance Survey's use of Scafell on their 1865 map and thereafter.
Scafell Pike is one of a horseshoe of high fells, open to the south, surrounding the head of Eskdale, Cumbria. The ridge forms the watershed between Eskdale and Wasdale, which lies to the west.
The narrowest definition of Scafell Pike begins at the col of Mickledore 831.6 m (2,728 ft) in the south, takes in the wide, stony summit area and ends at the next depression, Broad Crag Col, c. 877.6 m (2,879 ft).
A more inclusive view takes in two further tops: Broad Crag, 935.3 m (3,069 ft) and Ill Crag, 930.9 m (3,054 ft), the two being separated by Ill Crag Col, 882.3 m (2,895 ft). This is the position taken by most guidebooks.
Scafell Pike also has outliers on either side of the ridge. Lingmell 807 m (2,648 ft), to the north west, is invariably regarded as a separate fell, while Pen, 760 metres (2,490 ft), a shapely summit above the Esk, is normally taken as a satellite of the Pike.
The rough summit plateau is fringed by crags on all sides with Pikes Crag and Dropping Crag above Wasdale and Rough Crag to the east. Below Rough Crag and Pen is a further tier, named Dow Crag and Central Pillar on Ordnance Survey maps, although known as Esk Buttress among climbers.
Broad Crag Col is the source of Little Narrowcove Beck in the east and of Piers Gill in the west. The latter works its way around Lingmell to Wast Water through a spectacular ravine, one of the most impressive in the Lake District.
It is treacherous in winter, as when it freezes over it creates an icy patch, with lethal exposure should you slip.
Scafell Pike has a claim to the highest standing water body in England in Broad Crag Tarn, which (confusingly) is on Scafell Pike proper, rather than on Broad Crag. It lies at about 820 m (2,690 ft), a quarter of a mile (400 m) south of the summit.
Scafell Pike is a Marilyn summit which automatically makes it a HuMP and a TuMP. Scafell Pike is topologically unusual because the Marilyn qualification contour line (150 metres below the summit) passes around Scafell which is itself a HuMP.
The summit was donated to the National Trust in 1919 by Lord Leconfield:
"In perpetual memory of the men of the
Lake District who fell for God and King,
for freedom peace and right in the Great
War 1914–1918."
There is a better-known war memorial on Great Gable, commemorating the members of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club.
The actual height of Scafell Pike is a matter of definition or guesswork. The highest point is buried beneath a massive summit cairn over 3 metres high, and it is not known how high the fabric of the mountain rises under the cairn.
Traditionally the height was given as a very memorable 3,210 feet (978.4 m).
Scafell Pike is one of three British peaks climbed as part of the National Three Peaks Challenge, and is the highest ground for over 90 miles (145 km).
Geology of Scafell Pike
Scafell Pike consists of igneous rock, including breccia, andesite and rhyolite, as well as geothermal tufa, dating from the Ordovician period; it is geologically part of the Borrowdale Volcanics, and along with the other peaks of the Scafells, forms part of an extinct volcano which was active around 400-450 million years ago.
Scafell Pike Summit
The rugged summit of Scafell Pike was shaped by glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum, during which the Lake District was overlain by ice sheets with thicknesses of several kilometers.
The summit plateau of Scafell Pike, and that of other neighbouring peaks, is covered with shattered rock debris which provides the highest-altitude example of a summit boulder field in England.
The boulder field is thought to have been caused in part by weathering, such as frost action. To the north of the summit are a number of high altitude gills which flow into Lingmell Beck. These are good examples in Cumbria for this type of gill, and are also biologically important due to their species richness.
Scafell Pike Tourism
Scafell Pike is a popular destination for walkers. There is open access to Scafell and the surrounding fells, with many walking and rock climbing routes. Paths connect the summit with Lingmell Col to the northwest, Mickledore to the southwest, and Esk Hause to the northeast, and these in turn connect with numerous other paths, giving access to walkers from many directions.
The shortest route is from Wasdale Head, about 80 metres above sea level, where there is a climbers' hotel, the Wasdale Head Inn, made popular in the Victorian period by Owen Glynne Jones and others.
According to the National Trust, as of 2014 there were over 100,000 people per year climbing Scafell Pike from Wasdale Head, many as part of the National Three Peaks Challenge.
Scafell Pike as a Survey Point
Scafell Pike was used in 1826 as a station in the Principal Triangulation of Britain by the Ordnance Survey when they fixed the relative positions of Britain and Ireland.
Angles between Slieve Donard in Northern Ireland and Scafell Pike were taken from Snowdon in Wales, as were angles between Snowdon and Scafell Pike from Slieve Donard.
Given the need for clear weather to achieve these very long-range observations (111 miles (179 km) to Slieve Donard), the Ordnance surveyors spent much of the summer camped on the respective mountain tops.
As the highest ground in England, Scafell Pike has a very extensive view, ranging from the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland to Snowdonia in Wales.
Rioting in Germany
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 11th. June 1931, rioting broke out across Germany in anger at the government's austerity measures.
David Lloyd George
Also on that day, Great Britain's Labour coalition government appeared to be on the verge of collapse when Liberal leader David Lloyd George announced that he would not support the proposed Land Value Tax without an amendment.
June Laverick
The 11th. June 1931 also marked the birth in Redcar, North Riding of Yorkshire of June Laverick. June is an English film, television and stage actress.
She was once described as "a popular lightweight leading actress of the day," and is probably best remembered as the fictional wife of Dickie Henderson in The Dickie Henderson Show.
June Laverick - The Early Years and Marriage
Before June was born her parents ran a public house in Bishop Auckland, but then returned to Redcar to run the Royal Hotel on the sea front near Redcar Pier. June was born in Laburnum Road, Redcar.
In her youth June attended White House school and ballet school. She was determined at an early age that she wanted a career in light entertainment.
June followed an acting career in theatre, film and television, and after retiring from acting in her 30's June moved back to Redcar, marrying an ICI process worker and briefly taking over the licence of the Royal Hotel before returning south alone.
June Laverick's Stage, Film and Television Career
In the 1950's June worked in the theatre in musicals, comedies and revues, and had a variety of film roles contracted to the Rank Organisation.
She was a member of The Company of Youth, the Rank Organisation's acting school often referred to as "The Charm School," and was often photographed for the front covers of cinema magazines and for publicity shots.
Her peak year in films was 1958, where she appeared in three prominent film roles, notably as the leading lady opposite Tommy Steele in The Duke Wore Jeans.
June made an early television appearance in an episode of Boyd Q.C. (1958) and in episodes of Tales from Dickens (1959) as Dora Spenlow. She took over the role of Dickie Henderson's wife from Anthea Askey in ITV's The Dickie Henderson Half Hour and in The Dickie Henderson Show (1960–1963).
After the Dickie Henderson Show, June retired from acting to be replaced by Isla Blair in the next series A Present for Dickie (1969–1970). In 1970 June returned to appear in the last episode.
June Laverick's Personal Life
After June's final appearance on television in the last episode of Dickie Henderson's show, she took over the licence, from her parents, of The Royal Hotel in Redcar.
June was briefly married to Charles Kenneth Cooke, an ICI worker. After the marriage ended she returned to the south of England and spent her time living in Baker Street, London, and became romantically linked with Hughie Green, the Double Your Money television games show host, in the 1960's.
