  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers
    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

  • The Eleven Children of John Wilson
    ■ Wilson Family History HOME PAGE: http://mineralogicalrecord.com/wilson/family.asp ■ George Ulmer Wilson’s and Susan Ulmer Wilson’s gravestone, Oak Ridge Cemetery. Sandwich, Illinois According to records kept in Maine by the family of his sister Susanna, George Ulmer Wilson died on 3 April 1889, eight days before his 85th birthday—location not specified— neither he nor his wife Sarah appear in the Illinois Death Index. However, Rust (1891) confirms the death date and states it to have taken place in Aurora, Illinois. George’s brief obituary in the Sandwich Argus newspaper reads: Died: Mr. Wilson, at Aurora, last week Wednesday. Service will be held here on Friday, 5 April, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. N. H. Butterfield. The graves of George and Sarah have been located in the Oak Ridge Cemetery (Suydam Road, about ½ mile east of Somonauk Road), Sandwich, Illinois, along with the graves of their daughter Caroline A. Wilson and, husband Enos Doan, and their son George A. Doan. ■ 116 ■ by Wendell E. Wilson ■ Wilson Family History HOME PAGE: http://mineralogicalrecord.com/wilson/family.asp ■ Henry Neild Wilson (1806-1812) John Wilson's second child and next eldest son, Henry Neild Wilson (apparently named after an important but as-yet undiscovered ancestor, probably a great-grandfather), was born in 1806 in Lincolnville. According to the family Bible, Henry was "unfortunately drowned in Ducktrap Stream" in 1812, at the age of six. John Sheen Wilson (1808-1894) John Wilson's third son was John Sheen Wilson (called “Sheen” by his siblings). Born in 1808, he was no doubt named after another great-grandfather back in Tattenhall.

  • North Western River Basin Flood Risk Management Plan
    North Western Flood Risk Management Plan You can get a copy of this document in other formats, such as: • Large print • Braille • Audio CD • Computer disk • Other languages To get a copy of this document in another format contact Rivers Agency at: Tel: (028) 902 53355 Fax: (028) 902 53455 Email: [email protected] Version 1: 22 December 2015 2 Foreword There have been a number of very significant flood events during the last ten years which have had severe impacts on homes and businesses throughout the Province highlighting the vulnerability of many communities to flooding. These are clear reminders of our reliance on our critical infrastructure so the finalisation of these Flood Risk Management Plans is to be warmly welcomed. Climate change projections indicate that we should expect more heavy rain in the future and so flood risk is also likely to increase. Add to this the fact that sea levels are rising and it can be quickly concluded that flood risk must be proactively managed across government, with meaningful engagement with communities that are vulnerable to flooding. If the weather events we have experienced recently become more common, then planning for flooding is critically important. The EU Directive on, “the Assessment and Management of Flood Risk” was introduced in 2007 and is widely referred to as the ‘Floods Directive’. This legislation has been transposed into local regulations and it sets out a systematic approach to managing flood risk. Firstly it requires Member States to carry out a national risk assessment to understand the flood hazards and, using this information, to identify the most vulnerable areas.
