One of the subjects that the Council congratulate the members upon, is the constant variable additions which are being made to the Library. The shelves are now full of books which are of great service to the members, and it will shortly be the duty of the Council to provide book-shelves for the constant increase in the works which are being received from Foreign Exchanges and by purchase. The year which has passed has been exceptionally interesting to the members, inasmuch as they had opportunity of making two very entertaining excursions; one at the invitation of Sir Edward Watkin to visit the Channel Tunnel works at Dover, when, through the kindness of that gentleman, they were supplied with free railway passes from their several habitations to Dover and back. The trip was a most enjoyable one, upwards of 120 gentlemen availing themselves of this opportunity to see the Tunnel, and the amount of information gained by an inspection of the works was very great. The "Boring Machine," by Colonels Beaumont and English, and the "Air Locomotive," by Colonel Beaumont, which were set at work by the permission of the Board of Trade for the occasion, enabled the members to form a pretty correct idea of the facilities which could be afforded by these powerful machines in the construction of the Tunnel when the time arrives for practically pursuing this interesting work. The second visit the Institute made was to Barrow-in-Furness, through the invitation of Mr. J. T. Smith and the Directors of the "Barrow Hematite Steel Company, Limited." About 130 members availed themselves of the invitation, and were received with great hospitality, and the whole of the mining and manufacturing industries of the district were thrown open to their inspection. [vi] The papers read before the Institute have been above the usual calibre. One on the "Channel Tunnel" by Mr. Charles Tylden-Wright, contains much valuable geological information, in addition to a very interesting description of the machinery which has been specially invented to make the borings. Mr. Charles Parkin contributed a very valuable paper on the "Mineral Resources of the Rosedale Abbey District," and Mr. J. H. Grant one on the "Daltonganj Coal-field of India." The most interesting geological paper that has been received is one from Mr. J. D. Kendall, on the "Structure of the Cumberland Coal-field," the illustrations being exceedingly well delineated. Mr. Charles Hunting, who has devoted a considerable amount of his time to the study of the most economical mode of feeding and managing horses, and had great experience in carrying out the results of his research in the collieries of the North of England, contributed a most interesting and exhaustive paper on "The Feeding and Management of Colliery Horses." This paper, together with the discussion which took place upon it, forms a most valuable addition to the Transactions. Mr. Gresley contributed a paper on "Two Systems of Working the Main Coal at Moira, Leicestershire." Papers also have been read on the more mechanical departments of colliery management; by Mr. W. J. Bird, on "Non-conducting Coverings for Boilers and Steam-pipes," and by Mr. Bowlker, on a "New Ventilating Fan;" and this division has further been very interestingly augmented by the valuable paper of Mr. Marten, on the "Explosions of Boilers and other Vessels." A purely mathematical paper by Professor Aldis, on "The Internal Stress of Cylindrical and Spherical Dams," has also been printed, which will afford, no doubt, reliable data to enable the members to construct these important erections. One of the most interesting papers read before the Institute this year, is the one read by Mr. Vincent W. Corbett, "On Water-gauge, Barometer, and other Observations taken at Seaham Colliery during the time the Maudlin Seam was sealed up," It is illustrated by no less than seventy- one diagrams of great complexity, taken from the original drawings. [vii] FINANCE REPORT It will be seen from last year's Report that the income of the Institute at the close of the year 1881-82 amounted to £2,176 9s. 10d., and it was stated that this had been, financially, the most successful year of the Institute; it was shown, however, that a part of this increase was accounted for by the third half-yearly dividend of £107 4s. Od. having been paid to the Institute, through the Directors of the "Institute and Coal Trade Chambers Company, Limited," paying their dividends half- yearly instead of yearly. The income of the past year has been £1,970 1s. 1d., or £200 8s. 9d. less than the preceding year; this is partly accounted for, as explained above, by the extra half-yearly dividend obtained last year, by a decrease of £40 17s. 0d. in the amount of the subscriptions obtained this year, and a decrease of £84 12s. 5d. in the sale of the Transactions. There has been an increase of 14 in the number of members, and the amount of arrears is slightly less, being £431 11s. 0d., as against £493 10s. 0d. of last year. It is to be regretted that the amount of arrears continues to form so large a feature in the Balance Sheet, and notwithstanding the efforts that are made to gather in the subscriptions, it seems impossible ever materially to diminish the amount. The income, however, has exceeded the expenditure by £157 9s. 11d., and the Committee have to report that the year, financially speaking, has been a fairly average one, and that the finances of the Institute are in a highly satisfactory state. WM. COCHRANE. JOHN DAGLISH. [viii] AWARDS FOR PAPERS WHICH HAVE APPEARED IN THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE INSTITUTE. The Council having, in October, 1872, decided to recommend that prizes of books not exceeding £50 in value should be awarded and apportioned to the writers of such papers printed in the Transactions as the Council should decide, and this recommendation having been approved by a General Meeting of the members, and awards made at various times by a Committee appointed for the purpose, the Secretary was requested by the Council to report on the proceedings and present position of the Committee, and to furnish an account of all sums which had been awarded by them, and he presented the following Report, which was ordered to be printed, and it was decided that the particulars of subsequent awards should be published each year—• To the Council of the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers.

This article examines the reasons behind a Heroin policy shift that led to the introduction of mass media drug education in the mid 1980s. It focuses on two Drug education campaigns. ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ ran in England, and ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ ran in Scotland. The campaigns Health education were different in tone, with ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ making use of fear and ‘shock horror’ tactics, whereas History of drug use ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ attempted to deliver a more positive health message. ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ was criticised by many experts for its stigmatising approach. ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ was more favourably received, but both campaigns ran into difficulties with the wider public. The messages of these campaigns were appro­ priated and deliberately subverted by some audiences. This historical policy analysis points towards a complex and nuanced relationship between drug education campaigns and their audiences, which raises wider questions about health education and its ‘publics’. In April 1986, the cast of teen TV soap, Grange Hill, released a song wanted to be seen to take action on drugs, leading to the introduction of titled ‘Just say no’.

  • Northern Saints Trails the Way of Love Durham to Hartlepool

    Northern Saints Trails the Way of Love Durham to Hartlepool

    Northern Saints Trails The Way of Love Durham to Hartlepool Introduction This guide describes the pilgrimage route between Durham Cathedral and St Hilda’s Church in Hartlepool. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The total distance is 45.5 kilometres or 28 miles. The route is divided into four sections of between 9 and 15 kilometres. The sections are in reverse order from 4 to 1 as they were originally allocated from east to west. Points of interest are described in red. One of the reasons that this route is called The Way of Love is that pilgrimage, particularly in the Middle Ages, was viewed as an act of devotion. One of the most famous pilgrimages to Durham was that of King Canute about a thousand years ago. He is recorded as walking barefoot from near the Trimdons to Durham. The church in Kelloe is dedicated to St Helen who was one of the initiators of pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Two other churches at Hart and Trimdon are dedicated to St Mary Magdalene who was known for her great devotion to Christ. St Hilda of Hartlepool was also known for her great devotion to God. Adding the fact that the cathedral is dedicated not just to St Cuthbert, but also to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we can say that this route has a distinctly feminine flavour! If you had been walking this route in the Middle Ages, and you encountered someone carrying a cross walking to Hartlepool, he would most likely be a fugitive.
