    Should you read this book? If you think it is interesting that on September 11, 2001, Flight 77 reportedly hit the 77 foot tall Pentagon, in Washington D.C. on the 77th Meridian West, after taking off at 8:20 AM and crashing at 9:37 AM, 77 minutes later, then this book is for you. Furthermore, if you can comprehend that there is a code of numbers behind the letters of the English language, as simple as A, B, C is 1, 2, 3, and using this code reveals that phrases and names such as ‘September Eleventh’, ‘World Trade Center’ and ‘Order From Chaos’ equate to 77, this book is definitely for you. And please know, these are all facts, just the same as it is a fact that Pentagon construction began September 11, 1941, just prior to Pearl Harbor.

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 .

  • PRIME MINISTER Lunch for Collea Ues You Were Concerned About The
    PRIME MINISTER Lunch for Collea ues You were concerned about the list of colleagues which I put to you last night as possible guests for 18th April. 1 As you know, almost ail the Ministers of State and the Parliamentary Under Secretaries have now been included in a Monday lunch, and we are getting through the outstanding ones quite quickly. Three of the outstanding PUSSs are from the Scottish, Irish and Welsh Offices, and because they are not often in London on Mondays, I have liaised with their Private Offices for a suitable date_„ I know that James Douglas Hamilton and Peter Vidgers- are able to come on 18th April, and Ian Grist is available on 25th April. I know you are worried about the Senior/Junior mix. The last lunch was rather unbalanced because both John Wakeham and David Waddington were not present. This would not normally be the case, and I know that your invitations to senior backbenchers and to Parliamentary Private Secretaries have been very well received. However, you mav prefer to go through the list of Ministers of State again. Overleaf are two bossible lists for 18th April, and also two possible lists for 25th April (reserves in brackets). One set of lists includes senior backbenchers and PPSs, and one set reverts to Ministers of State. Please would you indicate which you prefer? • Page Two i8th APRIL John MacGregor (Lord Mackay) James Douglas-Hamilton Peter Viggers Mark Lennox-Boyd (Tristan Garel-Jones) Geoffrey Johnson-Smith (John Hannam or John MacGregor (Lord Mackay) David Mellor (Chris Patten) Tim Renton (John Patten)

    Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent Kenneth C. Dewar Journal of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes, Volume 53, Number/numéro 1, Winter/hiver 2019, pp. 178-196 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/719555 Access provided by Mount Saint Vincent University (19 Mar 2019 13:29 GMT) Journal of Canadian Studies • Revue d’études canadiennes Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent KENNETH C. DEWAR Abstract: This article argues that the lines separating different modes of thought on the centre-left of the political spectrum—liberalism, social democracy, and socialism, broadly speaking—are permeable, and that they share many features in common. The example of Tom Kent illustrates the argument. A leading adviser to Lester B. Pearson and the Liberal Party from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, Kent argued for expanding social security in a way that had a number of affinities with social democracy. In his paper for the Study Conference on National Problems in 1960, where he set out his philosophy of social security, and in his actions as an adviser to the Pearson government, he supported social assis- tance, universal contributory pensions, and national, comprehensive medical insurance. In close asso- ciation with his philosophy, he also believed that political parties were instruments of policy-making. Keywords: political ideas, Canada, twentieth century, liberalism, social democracy Résumé : Cet article soutient que les lignes séparant les différents modes de pensée du centre gauche de l’éventail politique — libéralisme, social-démocratie et socialisme, généralement parlant — sont perméables et qu’ils partagent de nombreuses caractéristiques.

  • Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity
    Conservative Party Strategy, 1997-2001: Nation and National Identity A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy , Claire Elizabeth Harris Department of Politics, University of Sheffield September 2005 Acknowledgements There are so many people I'd like to thank for helping me through the roller-coaster experience of academic research and thesis submission. Firstly, without funding from the ESRC, this research would not have taken place. I'd like to say thank you to them for placing their faith in my research proposal. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Andrew Taylor. Without his good humour, sound advice and constant support and encouragement I would not have reached the point of completion. Having a supervisor who is always ready and willing to offer advice or just chat about the progression of the thesis is such a source of support. Thank you too, to Andrew Gamble, whose comments on the final draft proved invaluable. I'd also like to thank Pat Seyd, whose supervision in the first half of the research process ensured I continued to the second half, his advice, experience and support guided me through the challenges of research. I'd like to say thank you to all three of the above who made the change of supervisors as smooth as it could have been. I cannot easily put into words the huge effect Sarah Cooke had on my experience of academic research. From the beginnings of ESRC application to the final frantic submission process, Sarah was always there for me to pester for help and advice.

  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

  • EITHER a LITTLE LIBERAL OR a LITTLE CONSERVATIVE Elections and Electioneering in King's Cliffe by Canon John Bryan © 1998
    EITHER A LITTLE LIBERAL OR A LITTLE CONSERVATIVE Elections and Electioneering in King's Cliffe By Canon John Bryan © 1998 Elections at King's CIiffe in the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). whether they were Parliamentary (after 1832), Parish Council (after 1894), or School Board (after 1872), were always occasions of great excitement. In those times the life that village folk lived was restricted - no radio, no ready communication with the outside world and many were the persons who, at least until about 1880, could neither write nor read. An election was as much an occasion of general interest as was ever the Village Feast on 25th July or the Friendly Society parades on Easter Monday. And to it all was added the clamour of electioneering, public meetings with notable speakers, vehement rivalry between village stalwarts who were either Conservative or Liberal, Church or Chapel, even. Before the passing of the 1832 Parliamentary Reform Act the County of Northampton returned two "Knights of the Shire", i.e MP.s, to Parliament and these Members were elected by all those male persons who held freehold property worth 40s.p.a. or more. When an election was held "hustings" were erected at convenient centres : these were open platforms which qualified electors mounted, to declare openly for whom they cast their vote. This meant that your vote was cast under the eyes of all - the local squire, your employer, etc. Parties there were, either Whig or Tory, but there were no local party associations which drew like-minded voters together before ever an election took place.
