Sign up THE tale of Alice in Wonderland was brought to life in Great Bedwyn by dance theatre company Panta Rei when they performed Behind the Mirror. Inspired by the novel, the high energy dance adventure captured the charm and originality of Lewis Carroll’s story. St Mary’s Church was transformed by the Norway based company on Friday (Nov 27) into an intimate and atmospheric performance space, with pews pushed aside and youngster sat just inches from the action. Fast paced choreography, designed to engage, gave the dancers plenty of opportunity to enthral the capacity audience. Panta Rei had earlier in the afternoon, participated in a very successful school’s workshop with children of Great Bedwyn Primary School, during which the dancers commented on ‘the fantastic engagement of the community’. The performance was brought to the village by community members via Rural Arts funding.

  • Essays on the Persecution of Religious Minorities by David Thomas Smith
    Essays on the Persecution of Religious Minorities by David Thomas Smith A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor William R. Clark, co-chair Professor Anna M. Grzymala-Busse, co-chair Professor Robert J. Franzese, Jr. Professor Andrei S. Markovits Professor Robert W. Mickey i Acknowledgements Throughout the last six and a half years I have benefited enormously from the mentorship and friendship of my wonderful dissertation committee members: Bill Clark, Anna Grzymala-Busse, Andy Markovits, Rob Mickey and Rob Franzese. I assembled this committee before I even knew what I wanted to write about, and I made the right choices—I cannot imagine a more supportive, patient and insightful group of advisers. They gave me badly-needed discipline when I needed it (which was all the time) and oversaw numerous episodes of Schumpeterian “creative destruction.” They also gave me more ideas than I could ever hope to assimilate, ideas which will be providing me with directions for future research for many years to come. But these huge contributions are minor in comparison to the fact that they taught me how to think like a political scientist. I couldn’t ask for anything more. All of these papers had trial runs in various internal workshops and seminars at the University of Michigan, and I profited greatly from the structured feedback that I received from the Michigan political science community, faculty and grad students alike. Thanks to everyone who was a discussant for one of these papers—Zvi Gitelman, Chuck Shipan, Sana Jaffrey, Cassie Grafstrom (twice!), Ron Inglehart, Ken Kollman, Allison Dale, Pam Brandwein, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Rob Salmond and Jenna Bednar.

SYNOPSIS:—George Arden.—William Kerr. —Thomas Hamilton Osborne.—Editorial Thrashings.—Byrne punches Greeves' Head.-Kelly cudgels Kerr.—Kerr's Arrest for carrying Arms.—Robinson assaults Cavenagh.— McNamara assaults Kerr.—Kentish assails Cavenagh—Davis knocks down Cavenagh.—" The Recording Angels:" Mr. Joseph Byrne.—Mr. William Corp.—Mr. G.

THE OLD EDITORS. Jpl| EORGE ARDEN, the Co-Proprietor and Editor of the Gazette, was an accomplished and florid writer, not only as a journalist, but as a pamphleteer. The literary power of which he was capable was unballasted by experience, and, there was no mental brake to keep him within bounds. He had for a time the sole newspaper at his command; but he was absorbed by an inordinate self-sufficiency, and lacked perseverance. When newspapers were small, and their success mainly depended on the active personal supervision of the editor, Arden, who understood little of, and cared less for, journalistic minutice, was satisfied when he supplied an elaborate "leader." He was also much given to libelling, and falling into trouble thereby. In 1839, he was convicted and fined; in 1841, he was committed for trial, but the prosecution was abandoned; in 1843, he was again convicted of libel in connection with the first Corporation selections, and his brilliant and splenetic tirades against the first Resident Judge (Willis), though powerful agents in the ultimate un-benching of the official, proved the ruin of the writer.

  • Henry Faure Walker CEO, Newsquest Media Group Media Masters – June 7, 2018 Listen to the Podcast Online, Visit
    Henry Faure Walker CEO, Newsquest Media Group Media Masters – June 7, 2018 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today, I’m joined by Henry Faure Walker, chief executive of Newsquest, one of the UK’s largest publishers of regional news. After serving as managing director at JP Ventures and general manager at The Scotsman, Henry was named digital director of Johnston Press, where he led the group’s successful digital transformation. In 2014, Newsquest appointed him chief executive, citing his appreciation of the group’s print heritage, and his ability to implement strong digital strategies. The company publishes more than 200 titles, and reaches an audience of 28 million every month. Henry, thank you for joining me. Thanks very much. It’s a pleasure to be here. So Henry, let me go on with the most difficult question first, I think, which is that regional news publishers must have it the toughest out of all of the print press that is under pressure at the moment. How can you balance the viability of it as a business, while also being a strong voice for local communities? Look, I think clearly print newspapers are tough, and the woes of the local newspaper industry have been well publicised, and a large part of that has been driven by the dramatic declines in classified advertising, which Rupert Murdoch used to call the ‘rivers of gold’, that to a large degree supported the financial model of local newspapers.

Parish Council analyses issues 1. Froxfield present Straddling the A4 road, Froxfield is a village which at the last census (2011) had a population of 382. This included 153 men and 229 women and covered 168 households. (i) The highest population enjoyed by Froxfield was 625 in 1841; the lowest 266 in 1971. (ii) The village extends along the very wide A4 – with narrow (often single-track) side roads leading off it towards Little Bedwyn, Great Bedwyn, Chilton Foliat and Ramsbury. There are also three smaller residential ‘no-thru’ roads. There is a thriving private nursery school (Stepping Stones) within the village boundary at the hamlet of Oakhill. There are several substantial businesses based in Froxfield – furniture retailer OKA has its major south west showroom on the A4, at the western end of the village; along Littlecote Road, we find BK Grain Handling Engineers, operating in Froxfield since 1981; Brendoncare offers nursing care for 44 residents and The Blanchard Collective has a 6000sq ft warehouse for 18 antique dealers. 2. Froxfield past The earliest written record of anything on the site of the parish of Froxfield was found in the year 778, where a parcel of land in the general area was called Frosca burna – or 'frog's bourn' –- but this does not necessarily mean that there was a settlement there.
