  • 1 the Most Powerful Politician on Alderney Or Li Graound Houme D
    The Most Powerful Politician on Alderney Or Li Graound Houme D’Auregny1 There was fog in the channel and I was marooned on a small island. There was nowhere to go and little to do. My fellow islanders wandered around bearing the haunted expressions of those who had seen too much. A tetchy, claustrophobic atmosphere threatened to explode at any moment. With no clear notion of when escape would be possible we were forced to look inward - and what we saw wasn’t pretty. And my £20 meals voucher barely covered a room service sandwich. During the 18 hours I spent at the Radisson Blu Hotel at Stanstead Airport, I felt cut off from the world on an island of bland hospitality. No amount of free wifi and no free meals voucher could compensate from that sense of being in a non-place that existed outside of time. I longed for Alderney, the tiny island in the English channel that was my abortive destination. But my flight from London Stanstead to Guernsey, from which I’d planned to connect onto a small plane for the flight to Alderney, had been endlessly delayed and finally cancelled as the mid-October fog refused to lift. There was nothing to do but accept Aurigny airlines’ bounteous hospitality and wait for tomorrow. Frustrated though I was, I had options. I could leave the island, hop on a train and go back to London or anywhere in the country. I could even take a plane to a non-fog-bound destination if I wanted to.

  • Holocaust Archaeology: Archaeological Approaches to Landscapes of Nazi Genocide and Persecution
    HOLOCAUST ARCHAEOLOGY: ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO LANDSCAPES OF NAZI GENOCIDE AND PERSECUTION BY CAROLINE STURDY COLLS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The landscapes and material remains of the Holocaust survive in various forms as physical reminders of the suffering and persecution of this period in European history. However, whilst clearly defined historical narratives exist, many of the archaeological remnants of these sites remain ill-defined, unrecorded and even, in some cases, unlocated. Such a situation has arisen as a result of a number of political, social, ethical and religious factors which, coupled with the scale of the crimes, has often inhibited systematic search. This thesis will outline how a non- invasive archaeological methodology has been implemented at two case study sites, with such issues at its core, thus allowing them to be addressed in terms of their scientific and historical value, whilst acknowledging their commemorative and religious significance.

This action plan describes the work to be undertaken in 2020, within the Alderney West Coast and Burhou Island Ramsar Site and Other Sites, as required under the States of Alderney Ramsar Management Strategy 2017-21 (ARS3; SoA/AWT, 2016). In 2020, Alderney’s Ramsar site enters the 14th year of operations. This action plan incorporates work suggested under the five-year management strategy with consideration of recommendations made in the 2019 Ramsar Review (AWT, 2020) and incorporates input and review from members of the Alderney Ramsar Steering Group. Further, this plan attempts to follow the new Terms of Reference for scientific research as laid out by the CEO SoA in January 2020. 2. To achieve the strategic aims and objectives set out by the five-year strategy, a series of objectives are set out for 2020 that encompass maintaining the long-term monitoring of Alderney’s sea bird populations, including the management of invasive species and some rodent control, marine surveys and various outreach events.

LSA NHS England South West Guernsey Extraordinary Review Date of review 01-03 October 2014 Managing Reviewer Judith Porch Lay Reviewer Caroline Thomas Registrant Reviewer(s) Maureen Brown, Dawn Meredith, Verena Wallace, Areas visited during extraordinary LSA review: Princess Elizabeth Hospital, Health and Social Care Services (HSSD), Guernsey Jersey General Hospital, St Helier, Jersey Date of Report Publication 30 October 2014 317429/South West Extraordinary/2014 Page 2 of 54 Introduction The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) The NMC exists to protect the public. We do this by ensuring that only those who meet our requirements are allowed to practise as a nurse or midwife in the UK. We take action if concerns are raised about whether a nurse or midwife is fit to practise. The Local Supervising Authority (LSA) The LSA must ensure that each practising midwife within its area has a named supervisor of midwives (SoM) appointed by the LSA. The LSA must monitor and ensure adequate resources are provided to enable supervisors of midwives to fulfil their role. The LSA is expected to have a system with employers of midwives to ensure that the LSAMO (LSA midwifery officer) is notified of all adverse incidents, complaints or concerns relating to midwifery practice or allegations of impaired fitness to practise against a midwife. The LSA may, following appropriate investigation, suspend a practising midwife from practice in circumstances where the LSA intends to refer an allegation to the NMC that the fitness to practise of that midwife is impaired.

Day 1 Friday 25th September Apart from Gary, who had unexpectedly arrived a day early(!), our group arrived on two separate flights from Southampton. So the first eight touched down in fine weather around 10am, to be greeted by Martin, and were soon aboard Annabel’s Alderney Tours minibus for the short transfer to the Braye Beach Hotel, our wonderfully-appointed base for the tour. As it was changeover day, I was engaged with our earlier group this morning. After a welcome coffee and snack, everyone visited the main town of St.Anne, a short uphill drive from Braye. Here, Martin led a guided tour of the attractions, from the cobbled Victoria Street (named in honour of the Queen’s affection for the island), through the impressively large 19th century church and very well laid out museum, to the public library which houses the beautiful final panel of the apparently incomplete Bayeux tapestry. Depicting the coronation of William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings this was recently crafted by the Alderney community and was subsequently displayed alongside the original in Bayeux in 2014.

Parts 1 (revised) and Part 2 were published by the Institute of Contemporary History and Wiener Library Limited in association with the Jersey Jewish Congregation in 1998 to complement the Synagogue memorial service held in September 1998 2 THE JEWS IN THE OCCUPIED CHANNEL ISLANDS 1940-45 Foreword This documentary paper on the Channel Islands under Nazi occupation during the War, with special reference to the Jewish community, is thoroughly researched and deeply moving and an important contribution to Holocaust literature. The author is to be congratulated on his painstaking research, opening an invaluable insight into a relatively new department of Holocaust literature. The material should prove useful to Holocaust historians and researchers, and be of enormous practical use especially to Jewish schools and Holocaust departments at universities the world over. This darkest chapter of Jewish history may now be over half a century old, but its documentation and its relevance to future attitudes by Jews and non-Jews alike becomes ever more vital, especially in understanding the mystique of Jewish survival and reconstruction.

  • A Cruise in Northern Europs
    A Cruise in northern Europe (Part one) In July 2007, my wife and I tried to get our 27ft Albin Vega, “Ocean Sunrise” (OS) from the Isle of White (IOW) on the central English Channel to La Coruna in NW Spain and back, all in a short 3 week cruise. We had been planning this trip for over a year, it was the perfect opportunity to find out if we had what it was needed to tackle an infamous bit of water in order to make it to the Caribbean later in life. The total trip was going to be 1200 Nm, which would start on the eastern side of the IOW down the coast on the UK Side, once past the Scilly islands on the far west tip of the UK down to Spain. I had done this trip countless of times in my mind, what we needed were the correct winds. On the day of departure we had a forecast for SW 3-4 dropping to SW 2-3 backing SE 3-4, latter veering W 5-6 (this is in a 48 hr period). Far from required, but at least it was not a gale warning. We left Ryde (on the eastern end in the IOW) at 3:00 on Saturday the 6th of July, after packing and arranging everything in order so that we had as much space as possible and stocked with enough food and water for 6 days at sea. The wind was about F3 from the SW the day was clear and we had a really nice sun rise, at once we lifted the number 1 Jib (having no roller furler) and started looking to raise the main sail, but for some reason we could not find the main halyard, due to the lack of light we could do very little but speculate why was it not there.

    Alderney Wildlife Trust (AWT) Business and Operations Plans 2020 Executive Summary The purpose of this document is to present the AWT’s Business and Operations Plans for 2020. Business Plan The Business Plan establishes the AWT’s business scope, identifies its existing AWT operational structures including its financial mechanisms and sets out core foci for the AWT’s operations in 2020 which will give the AWT direction and create a bridge between the Board and the Operations Team. Operations Plan The Operations Plan incorporates the foci established by the Board’s Business Plan and reflects those into the AWT’s operational commitments during 2020. It establishes 9 clear and measureable targets and the subsequent goals for delivery and links these to the budget for 2020. The Plan lays out the staffing and structural changes required to deliver upon the annual targets. Both the Business and Operational Plans recognise the new infrastructure established by the Board in 2019, including the Schedule of Delegations and governance/operational structure this supports (Appendix 1.). Monitoring of the Plan will be undertaken through the Board’s quarterly meetings and the effectiveness of the new structure will be reported to the AWT’s membership at the 2020 AGM and in the end of year report to be published in [December 2020]. Conclusion Both the Business and Operations Plans identify the need for the AWT to establish a greater clarity over how it will deliver on the organisation’s primary Objectives to Protect Alderney’s Nature for the Future, and in doing so protect our community’s greatest resource, the island’s environment.
