A neo-Assyrian relief in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities, Trinity College Dublin*a case study in artefact acquisition AMANDA KELLY* Classics Department, National University of Ireland, Galway [Accepted 7 September 2010. Published 14 October 2011.] Abstract The focus of this paper is a neo-Assyrian relief discovered in the Weingreen Museum of Biblical Antiquities at Trinity College Dublin (hereafter the Weingreen Museum). The shallow relief depicts a pictorial vignette of a kneeling genie, rendered in profile, facing a tree of life, on a horizon formed by a cuneiform border (WM 1189). Details surrounding the relief’s acquisition were completely unknown to Trinity College Dublin staff during 2008Á9. This investigation follows a paper trail which illuminates the circumstances behind its procurement and subsequent journey from Iraq to Dublin in the Victorian period.
  • Business Engagement Framework

    Business Engagement Framework

    OXFORD CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FINAL REPORT JUNE 2014 1 Executive Summary Oxford City Council commissioned this short report from Shared Intelligence through the Local Government Association Local Growth Adviser programme in order to provide advice on developing a comprehensive business engagement framework. Oxford is a major economic asset: the city is home to 4,100 businesses and contributes some £4.7bn to the national economy. The City is the service centre for the wider County economy and the location for most of the employment growth in Oxfordshire between 2001 and 2011. The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership recently submitted its Strategic Economic Plan to government, outlining its ambition to improve business support to promote innovation based economic growth. Oxford, along with Bicester and Science Vale, is one of the three principal areas of economic growth within the LEP. The other two locations have mechanisms to support a strong business voice to represent their interests. A key priority for Oxford City Council is therefore to develop a strong understanding of local business priorities in order to represent their interests to the LEP and promote economic growth in the City. In this context, a business engagement framework should: • provide a structured approach to communication between the City Council and local businesses on economic development issues; • enable businesses to develop a strong voice to support their effective representation within the Local Enterprise Partnership; • clarify for businesses how and where they can express their views on economic growth and other issues; and, • facilitate the development of sector specific projects and programmes or discussions in support of economic strategies.

    Banbury and Bicester College

    Sharing Innovative Approaches to Delivering 16-19 Study Programme Principles Banbury and Bicester College Enterprise and Employability “At the heart of our model for Study Programmes is the development of employability skills through the learning company concept.” Rose Turner, Principal Banbury and Bicester College is part of Activate Learning1, a group which combines secondary, further and higher education along with workforce training, commercial business and social enterprise. The Activate Learning group was formed in September 2013, following the merger of Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, and Reading College in 2010. The group comprises Banbury and Bicester College, City of Oxford College, Reading College and Activate Enterprise. Activate Learning has a chief executive officer; each college has a principal and Activate Enterprise a director. In 2012/13 the three colleges recruited around 14,500 learners, two thirds of whom were adults on part-time courses. Most learners, currently, are on foundation and intermediate programmes and the group have around 1,800 apprentices in five subject areas. Oxfordshire and Berkshire are affluent counties with rates of unemployment below national averages. However, across both counties, there are areas of educational and social deprivation and the profile of learners attending the colleges reflects this. GCSE attainment in local secondary schools is broadly at, or just below, national averages, and many learners come to study and train at the colleges with attainment below national averages. The proportion of the population of Oxfordshire and Berkshire from minority ethnic backgrounds varies from around 25% in Reading to below 5% in Banbury and Bicester. However, the proportion of learners from minority ethnic backgrounds in the colleges matches or exceeds these local proportions.

    WEEK OF 11.9.2020 DragonNEWS News and Events for Dragon Parents Welcome back Dragons! 1 Dear Parents elcome to the new academic year, and an especially warm Wwelcome to those parents who are new to the Dragon community. We are absolutely delighted to have the children back in school, and it is excellent to see the boys and girls so engaged in their work, enthusiastic in their play and really enjoying each other’s company. The term has got off to an impressive start and the children are settling well into their routines, whilst mastering the one-way systems, separate play areas, and new dining arrangements. We are very proud of how our young Dragons have adapted to all the measures that have necessarily been put in place to ensure a safe environment for us all at this time. We very much appreciate the support of parents during this challenging time and I should like to draw your attention to the separate notices regarding social distancing and winter illnesses/COVID 19. Last Saturday saw the launch of our long-awaited Dragon QUEST programme, and the inaugural Saturday morning was a resounding success. Around 88% of our young D and E Block Dragons participated on the first day. It was wonderful to see all the children enjoying a wide range of activities including visiting a working farm, paddle-boarding on the River Cherwell, a cultural tour of Oxford, bike mechanics, polo, 3D printing, film-making, and design and technology. Congratulations to our QUEST Director, Tim Knapp, who has worked tirelessly towards this launch, and I should also like to thank all the teachers who are involved in this varied programme.
