Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

To this we owe in part the com- ing of our own early ancestors to these isles. But while we have histories which inform us of the several historic invasions, they all seem to me to belittle far too much the influence of the Norse Invasions in particular.

  • The Fairfield Horseshoe, Wansfell and Orrest Head a Weekend Walking Adventure for London-Based Hikers
    The Fairfield Horseshoe, Wansfell and Orrest Head A weekend walking adventure for London-based hikers 1 of 24 www.londonhiker.com Introduction A classic Lake District circular ridge walk starting from the town of Ambleside, the Fairfield Horseshoe takes in several Wainwright fells and will certainly blow the cobwebs away as you follow the 'horseshoe' round. This is one of the Lake District's most famous day walks, starting from Ambleside in the heart of the Lakes, and it offers gorgeous views of Lake Windermere, and many fells around. On Day 2, walk to Windermere via the spectacular viewpoints Wansfell Pike and Orrest Head, which inspired Wainwright to move to the Lake district. This weekend is based in one location so you will not have to carry your luggage on your hike, apart from on Day 2 when you will walk to Windermere. Summary You'll travel up to Ambleside in the evening, potentially after work, or if you prefer, travelling in the afternoon. On Day 1 you will walk the Fairfield Horseshoe, a classic ridge walk. On Day 2 you will climb up Wansfell Pike and then walk to Orrest Head at Windermere, where you can catch the train back home and be back in your own bed in the evening. You could extend the weekend to three days, by staying an extra night in Ambleside and spending some time exploring the local area on Day 2, then walking to Windermere on Day 3 instead. Some suggestions are provided for extending the weekend by an extra day. Highlights • The achievement of having competed the famous Horseshoe walk and eight of Wainwright's fells to boot (not sure who Wainwright is? Find out more here).

  • Detecting Insider Threats Using Ben-Ware: Beneficial Intelligent Software for Identifying Anomalous Human Behaviour
    Detecting Insider Threats Using Ben-ware: Beneficial Intelligent Software for Identifying Anomalous Human Behaviour Andrew Stephen McGough1∗ y, Budi Arief2, Carl Gamble2, David Wall3, John Brennan1, John Fitzgerald2, Aad van Moorsel2, Sujeewa Alwis4, Georgios Theodoropoulos1, Ed Ruck-Keene1 1Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK fstephen.mcgough, j.d.brennan, georgios.theodoropoulos, [email protected] 2Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK fbudi.arief, carl.gamble, john.fitzgerald, [email protected] 3University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UK [email protected] 4Insighlytics Ltd, York, UK [email protected] Abstract The insider threat problem is a significant and ever present issue faced by any organisation. While security mechanisms can be put in place to reduce the chances of external agents gaining access to a system, either to steal assets or alter records, the issue is more complex in tackling insider threat. If an employee already has legitimate access rights to a system, it is much more difficult to prevent them from carrying out inappropriate acts, as it is hard to determine whether the acts are part of their official work or indeed malicious. We present in this paper the concept of “Ben-ware”: a beneficial software system that uses low-level data collection from employees’ computers, along with Artifi- cial Intelligence, to identify anomalous behaviour of an employee. By comparing each employee’s activities against their own ‘normal’ profile, as well as against the organisational’s norm, we can detect those that are significantly divergent, which might indicate malicious activities. Dealing with false positives is one of the main challenges here.

In this pack you should find sufficient information to enable you to settle into the area, find out about the facilities on offer, and details of many of the clubs and societies. If specific information about your particular interest or need is not shown, then pop into the Town Hall Information Point and ask there. If they don't know the answer, they usually know someone who does! The Parish Council produces a quarterly Newsletter which is available from the Town Hall or the Post Office. Chapel is a small friendly town with a long history, in a beautiful location, almost surrounded by the Peak District National Park. It's about 800 feet above sea level, and its neighbour, Dove Holes, is about 1000 feet above, so while the weather can be sometimes wild, on good days its situation is magnificent. The Parish Council takes pride in maintaining the facilities it directly controls, and ensures that as far as possible, the other Councils who provide many of the local services - High Peak Borough Council (HPBC) and Derbyshire County Council (DCC) also serve the area well.

  • Merlin's People.Wps
    MERLIN'S PEOPLE Raymond Foster Wales is possibly the best place in the world from which to understand and follow one of the greatest changes in human lifestyle that ever took place: the transition from wanderers to settlers. When the English first came to Britain they did what they always do when they visit foreign lands. The Romans had not long left, and the natives were used to welcoming foreigners to their land, but they soon realized their mistake as the new lot of foreigners got off the boat. "Excuse me, young man," they said to the boy on the jetty. "We're not foreigners; we're English! You're the foreigners – what we call welisc. Don't you speak Anglo-Saxon? Oh well, you'll learn..." And I suppose they did learn, for 'Welsh' they are to this day: foreigners in their own land! Isn't that just like the English? Of course, I personally am in a privileged position, being Welsh on my mother's side, and English on my father's side; so when I say 'we', I could just as well mean 'they', and when I say 'they', I could just as well mean 'we'. At least I can see both points of view. When the Romans left, Britain was virtually all 'Wales' and the British were virtually all 'Welsh', but we know what the English are like. They edged the native inhabitants further and further into the unploughable hills to the north and west and never even realized that the land had not always been theirs.
