am writing this article in September 2020 knowing that, by the time you will be reading it, the College will have completed a Michaelmas term like no other. As I write, staff and Fellows are beginning to reopen the College buildings after their six-month closure due to the pandemic. We are all greatly looking forward to welcoming students back and to doing everything we can to make their experiences rich and to keep them and the rest of our community safe. Dr Claire Craig CBE My first year at Queen’s began, like that of other freshers, with the excitement of meeting all the remarkable people connected with the College: students, Old Members, staff and Fellows. Michaelmas term included learning how to handle the Loving Cup and welcoming the Visitor, the outgoing Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Chapel. The President of the Seychelles visited, as a result of Lindsay Turnbull’s work on the Aldabra coral reef, researching ecosystem impacts and working with DPhil student April Burt who co-led a project to remove 25 tonnes of plastic waste. Then in March the pandemic struck. The College had one of the early positive cases of COVID-19. We completed Hilary term due to the incredible fortitude, good sense and hard work of staff and students alike. Throughout the Easter Vacation, Fellows worked hard to move all teaching and exams online. So, with the College buildings shut and most support staff on furlough, we completed Trinity term virtually.

  • 1509 Catalyst A5.Indd
    Post Primary Education CATALYST PAMPHLET THIRTEEN Foreward Catalyst’s self-appointed task for more than a decade now has been to encourage the Church to be the Church, to examine ourselves to see how our Christian witness measures up to the gospel parameters. We feel that there are areas of life where the great biblical themes of justice and fairplay should be reiterated and realized; justice and fairplay especially for those who do not themselves have a strong voice, for those on the margins or at the bottom of society. One such arena is that of public education. Both in NI and throughout the UK there is much debate about the benefi ts and failures of the present situation and of the reforms which have been implemented over the past half century. There are many criticisms of the outcome of present-day education policy and a good deal of uncertainty about how we can improve it, including a fear that the latter state might be worse than the former. Pressure groups and special-interest groups abound, and often more heat than light is generated. It is our plea that there should be an honest and open examination of the issues, and who is better placed to contribute to this than the Christian churches? They pioneered education, motivated by the wonderful idea that all are children of God the Father who has endowed everyone, but everyone, with skills, talents, intellectual and other abilities. Respectfully we offer the following as points worthy of consideration especially by religiously motivated people: 1 The status quo post the 1944/48 Education Acts meant in NI students emerging from Grammar Schools with very good Senior Certifi cate (GCE) grades and A levels, (better than in GB).

INTRODUCTION 1.1 In 2008, the Education and Training Inspectorate (Inspectorate) carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the use and impact of learning environments across the schools and wider education service. The evaluation included Learning Northern Ireland (LNI), which is the regional virtual online learning environment of the C2k managed service solution. While the evaluation report1 acknowledged the successful creation, uptake and use of the C2k managed service as a whole, and the outstanding, innovative work ongoing in some schools, it also highlighted some important shortcomings concerning the impact of learning environments in schools and the wider education service. 1.2 As part of the original evaluation, the

  • Belfast Royal Academy to the Education Committee at Stormont Re: the Education Bill
    SUBMISSION FROM THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF BELFAST ROYAL ACADEMY TO THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AT STORMONT RE: THE EDUCATION BILL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We welcome the opportunity to express our views and comments on the Bill during Committee Stage. While there are certain benefits in some of the changes proposed, including the amalgamation of the existing Education and Library Boards, there are many areas of concern, which directly threaten the future organisation and management of our school. As representatives of a Voluntary Grammar School, we are extremely concerned that the proposals contained in the Bill will dilute significantly the autonomy which has been enjoyed by schools such as this one for many years – in the case of this school for 225 years - and undermine the principle of academic selection. In an article in the Irish News on 6th October 2012, Professor Patrick Murphy, a commentator on educational matters and former Chief Executive of the Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education, stated the following: “…Educationally, the big losers are the grammar schools which now enter the system’s mainstream administration for the first time. ESA will implement educational policy made by John O’Dowd”. We note that issues raised by schools in other sectors have been addressed in this Bill and that these schools have been given representation on the ESA Board, through Sectoral Bodies. Despite educating one third of post-primary pupils, the Voluntary Grammar Sector has not been given any representation on the ESA Board, which appears to be discriminatory. In summary, our key concerns are as follows: Loss of employing authority rights Loss of autonomy Lack of representation of Voluntary Grammar Schools on the ESA Board The impact of Area Planning on the Education Sector and the ultimate aim to introduce uniformity of education provision by means of this initiative and to abolish academic selection and reduce parental choice.

  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.

  • Strain-Induced Time Reversal Breaking and Half Quantum Vortices Near a Putative Superconducting Tetra-Critical Point in Sr $ 2 $ Ruo $
    Strain-induced time reversal breaking and half quantum vortices near a putative superconducting tetra-critical point in Sr2RuO4 Andrew C. Yuan,1 Erez Berg,2 and Steven A. Kivelson1 1Department of Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 93405, USA 2Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 7610001, Israel It has been shown [1] that many seemingly contradictory experimental findings concerning the superconducting state in Sr2RuO4 can be accounted for as resulting from the existence of an assumed tetra-critical point at near ambient pressure at which dx2−y2 and gxy(x2−y2) superconducting states are degenerate. We perform both a Landau-Ginzburg and a microscopic mean-field analysis of the effect of spatially varying strain on such a state. In the presence of finite xy shear strain, the superconducting state consists of two possible symmetry-related time-reversal symmetry (TRS) preserving states: d ± g. However, at domain walls between two such regions, TRS can be broken, resulting in a d + ig state. More generally, we find that various natural patterns of spatially varying strain induce a rich variety of superconducting textures, including half-quantum fluxoids. These results may resolve some of the apparent inconsistencies between the theoretical proposal and various experimental observations, including the suggestive evidence of half-quantum vortices [2]. I. INTRODUCTION If it happens that superconducting (SC) orders with two distinct symmetries are comparably fa- vorable for some microscopic reason, it is possible to have a two-parameter phase diagram (e.g. T and isotropic strain, 0) that exhibits a multicriti- cal point (e.g. at = ? and T = T ?) at which the transition temperatures, Tc, of the two different or- (a) (b) ders coincide, as shown in Fig.

  • The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.
