  • Stone Infiltration Landing at Wentworth Lake
    Stone Infiltration Landing at Wentworth Lake The finished project looked like it could have been there all along. During rain storms, the Murray’s place at Wentworth Lake had a trail of stormwater runoff from their parking area passing in front of the porch steps and running down the bank of the lake. The Murray’s parking area had recently been regraded and they had installed some large boulders and other edging to stabilize the area and prevent runoff from reaching the lake. However this one area remained a challenge. The fix was a boxed-out, stone-filled infiltration landing at the bottom of the porch steps. Background This project really began at the May 2018 The project area before, showing runoff from the parking area running into the lake in the Water Summit in Wolfeboro. Anne background, and after, showing the boxed out infiltration landing that captures the runoff. Blodget of the Wentworth Watershed Association (WWA) and Soak Up the Rain New Hampshire (SOAKNH) team members recruited homeowners who were interested in having the SOAKNH team assess their properties for signs of runoff. In July, the WWA / SOAKNH team met with ten lakeside property owners and made recommendations on opportunities to capture or prevent runoff. As a result of the visits, the team chose to ask the Murrays if they would be willing to collaborate on a project to address the parking area runoff issue. The Murrays had been working hard to find ways around their place to be lake-friendly and were pleased and eager to take on this project as well.

  • WENTWORTH PRIMARY SCHOOL Social Media Communication with Stakeholders Policy (Facebook and Twitter) March 2017 Review March 2020
    WENTWORTH PRIMARY SCHOOL Social Media Communication with Stakeholders Policy (Facebook and Twitter) March 2017 Review March 2020 The purpose of this policy is to explain acceptable use of Twitter and Facebook relating to the official Wentworth Primary School accounts. The policy aims to explain the purpose of Social Media at Wentworth Primary School and the benefits that will arise from its proper use, and deal with any potential pitfalls. The intention is that the school trials use of the accounts under this policy for a 6 month period before reviewing to assess the success of it and any issues seen. Facebook is one of the dominant social networking sites in the world. Facebook lets you share photos, videos, links, status updates, and much more Facebook gives people control over what they share, who they share it with, the content they see and experience, and who can contact them. What is Twitter? Twitter is used primarily as a method of communication made up of 140 characters called a ‘tweet’. Tweets can be information being “broadcast”, or can relate to people, places and/or activities and enable responses. Twitter users are able to follow or be followed. When you follow another Twitter account, their activity and comments appear in your news feed. The benefit of having followers is that the information you broadcast is instantly distributed into their news feed, users can then re-tweet that to their followers and so on. Twitter users can also send a private message to each other when they don’t want conversations to appear beyond one user.

Black Man, White Justice: The Extradition of Matthew Bullock, an African- American Residing in Ontario, 1922 Abstract Canadian extradition law uncomfortably combines common law precepts with compromises deemed necessary for carrying out treaty obligations. In this context, for example, the substitution of affidavits for parol evidence has been an area where international courtesy has clashed with a valued means of testing an allegation, namely the cross-examination of witnesses. To reject an application for extradition because only documentary evidence is provided can amount to a censure of judicial proceedings in the state making the request; rejection may suggest that a fair trial cannot be secured.

  • D'arcy Wentworth
    Obituaries Australia People Australia Indigenous Australia Women Australia Labour Australia Australian Dictionary of Biography Wentworth, D'Arcy (1762–1827) by J. J. Auchmuty This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 2, (MUP), 1967 D'Arcy Wentworth (1762?-1827), medical practitioner and public servant, was born near Portadown, Ireland, the sixth of the eight children of D'Arcy Wentworth and his wife, Martha Dickson, also of County Armagh. The first of the Irish Wentworths to come to Australia could trace his ancestry through twenty generations from Robert of Wentworth Woodhouse in Yorkshire in the thirteenth century. His descendant, D'Arcy Wentworth, went to Ireland as agent in Athlone to Wentworth Dillon, fourth earl of Roscommon, during the reign of Charles II, served in 1689 in the army of William III and established himself as a landowner at Fyanstown Castle in County Meath. Some Irish Wentworths intermarried into the leading Anglo-Irish families, but Robert, the third of the Irish Wentworths of Fyanstown Castle, was an impecunious barrister with political ambitions which he failed to realize even though a distant kinsman of the marquis of Rockingham, and under him the family resources were completely dissipated. His son D'Arcy, the father of the subject of this sketch, was an innkeeper at Portadown; but however far the Irish Wentworths had financially fallen from their high estate, they still claimed relationship with Rockingham, Lord Fitzwilliam and the earl of Strafford. By 1822 William Wentworth, the elder brother of D'Arcy of Parramatta, was probably the senior representative of the male line of the family which had established itself at Wentworth Woodhouse, though he had no hereditary claim to the earldom of Strafford.
