The easiest thing would be to thank all the many people that have been contacted during the researching of this history. There has been nothing but cooperation from everyone, for which I am really thankful. However there are a few people who must be given special thanks for their help, patience and forbearance. The first of these must be my wife Katheleen who racked her brains remembering all she could about her family, while digging out all her old photographs and letters. She also listened patiently to my endless theories, hopes, successes and failures, besides searching records in Alberta, Ontario and Ireland Archives and tramping through numerous cemetaries in these same areas. Without her the task would have been considerably harder. The same can be said, in varying degrees, to her family from whom I continually requested information and pictures. Mabel M "Wright" Duncan who wrote "The Duncans of Bethel" must be commended for the work she put into the book, while her niece Margaret Elizabeth Duncan, of Edmonton is thanked for introducing me to it. While on the subject of books Patricia Harts "Pioneering in North York", is a must to anyone who is researching that area.

DUTTON AND COMPANY LONDON : ARTHUR L. HUMPHREYS 1919 SECOND EDITION REVISED AND ENLARGED PREFACE The first edition of A St. Helena Whos Wlio was limited to one hundred and fifty copies, for it was felt that the book could appeal only to those who were students of the period of Napoleon's captivity in St. Helena. The author soon found, however, that the edition was insuffi- cient to meet the demand, and he was obliged, with regret, to inform many who desired to possess the book that the issue was exhausted. In the present edition the original form in which the work appeared has been retained, but fresh material has been included, and many corrections have been made which, it is hoped, will render the book more useful. vu CONTENTS PAQI Introduction ....... 1 The Island or St. Helena and its Administration . 7 Military ....... 8 Naval ....... 9 Civil ....... 10 The Population of St. Helena in 1820 . .15 The Expenses of Administration in St. Helena in 1817 15 The Residents at Longwood . .16 Topography— Principal Residences . .19 The Regiments in St. Helena . .22 The 53rd Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 22 The 66th Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 26 The 66th Foot Regiment (1st Battalion) . 29 The 20th Foot Regiment .

This paper seeks to redress that situation and presents a synthesis of records of the 14 uppermost Triassic and Lower Jurassic from both onshore and offshore basins as well as descriBing 15 the sedimentological characteristics of the main lithostratigraphical units encountered. Existing data 16 have been supplemented with a re-examination and logging of some outcrops and the integration of 17 data from recent hydrocarbon exploration wells and boreholes. The Late Triassic Penarth Group and 18 Early Jurassic Lias Group can Be recognised across the RepuBlic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. In 19 some onshore basins, almost 600 m of strata are recorded, however in offshore Basins thicknesses in 20 excess of two kilometres for the Lower Jurassic have now been recognised, although little detailed 21 information is currently availaBle. The transition from the Triassic to the Jurassic was a period of 22 marked gloBal sea-level rise and climatic change (warming) and this is reflected in the 23 lithostratigraphical record of these sediments in the basins of Northern Ireland and offshore Basins 24 of the Republic of Ireland.

  • Young People's Gatherings in the Urban Public Realm Enhancement
    Young People's Gatherings Ref 066 in the Urban Public Realm enhancement of or distraction from its liveability Reem Zako University College London, London, United Kingdom [email protected] Keywords spatial configuration; social structures; urban space; public realm; young people Abstract This paper focuses on where young people gather in the urban public realm, and the effect that this may have on the perceived liveability of an area. Gatherings of young people have become very topical in the UK in recent years, especially because of the way that the public perceives this activity as intimidating and potentially aggressive. This has resulted in much concern by the public and interest by the press about the consequential antisocial nature of these gatherings, leading to government debate and legislation to control the antisocial behaviour of young children and adolescents in public space. The study is based on a questionnaire/survey distributed to residents in twenty housing estates and residential developments in London's city fringe district of Clerkenwell. The aim of the study was to capture the residents' perceptions about the liveability of their locality through an assessment of twenty-four different types of criteria relating to the built environment, including the condition of the urban fabric, the effects of traffic, and the prevalence of anti-social activities and behaviour. The dominant factor affecting the perceived liveability of an area was found to be the extent to which the public realm was blighted by the threatening nature

    © PA Images STATE OF POLICINGOF STATE Foreword This is my report to the Secretary of State under section 54 of the Police Act 1996. It contains my assessment of the efectiveness FOREWORD and efciency of policing in England and Wales, based on the inspections we carried out between April 2018 and May 2019. My report on the efectiveness and efciency of fire and rescue services in England will be published separately. This report’s structure and purpose Part 1 contains my assessment of the state of policing in England and Wales. In making my assessment, I have drawn on the inspections we carried out over the past year, as well as the fndings and reports of other organisations, and other information and analysis available to me. Part 2 gives an overview of the fndings of the inspections we carried out between 1 April 2018 and 2 May 2019, including a summary of our police effciency, effectiveness and legitimacy (PEEL) inspections. Part 3 sets out the full list of our inspections and other work in the year in question. The results of our individual inspections enable an assessment of the performance of individual forces, or a more general assessment of performance in specifc aspects of policing.
