    TT0708-220 TT No.220: Andrew Gallon - Sat 29th March 2008; Gillingham v Carlisle United; Coca-Cola Football League 1; Res: 0-0; Att: 6,673; Admission: £22; Programme: £3 (68pp); FGIF Match Rating: ***. Let's be grateful Gillingham rejected the idea of leaving the claustrophobic confines of Priestfield and opted to rebuild on their existing site. For the ground's setting, truly a classical British sporting location, boasts an intimacy and sense of confinement matched in the Football League only by the sardine can experience that is Luton Town's Kenilworth Road. The Gills, well aware of the limits Priestfield placed on their ambitions, wanted to pack up and move out but restrictions imposed by Kent planners would have meant leaving the Medway Towns altogether. That really was beyond the pale for a club rooted in this working-class dockland community, so Millwall-supporting chairman Paul Scally, who arrived on the scene in 1995 to rescue the Gills from administration, grasped the nettle and decided to stay put, raze the old ground and start again. Just how bold a decision that was becomes obvious from the moment you arrive. No-one in their right mind would today choose to build a football ground in such a spot, purchased for £600 in 1893. Priestfield, as if playing a game of hide and seek with spectators, is secreted amid identical narrow streets of Victorian terraced homes. From a distance, the landmark stand roofs and floodlight pylons can be seen poking above the chimney tops but once this guide is lost to view the ground becomes invisible until, finally, one stumbles across it with the sort of dazed relief reserved usually for those negotiating a route to the centre of a maze.

    Bibliography Physics and Human Rights Michele Irwin and Juan C Gallardo August 18, 2017 Physicists have been actively involved in the defense of Human Rights of colleague physicists, and scientists in general, around the world for a long time. What follows is a list of talks, articles and informed remembrances on Physics and Human Rights by physicist-activists that are available online. The selection is not exhaustive, on the contrary it just reflects our personal knowledge of recent publications; nevertheless, they are in our view representative of the indefatigable work of a large number of scientists affirming Human Rights and in defense of persecuted, in prison or at risk colleagues throughout the world. • “Ideas and Opinions” Albert Einstein Crown Publishers, 1954, 1982 The most definitive collection of Albert Einstein's writings, gathered under the supervision of Einstein himself. The selections range from his earliest days as a theoretical physicist to his death in 1955; from such subjects as relativity, nuclear war or peace, and religion and science, to human rights, economics, and government. • “Physics and Human Rights: Reflections on the past and the present” Joel L. Lebowitz Physikalische Blatter, Vol 56, issue 7-8, pages 51-54, July/August 2000 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/phbl.20000560712/pdf Based loosely on the Max von Laue lecture given at the German Physical Society's annual meeting in Dresden, 03/2000. This article focus on the moral and social responsibilities of scientists then -Nazi period in Germany- and now. Max von Laue's principled moral response at the time, distinguished him from many of his contemporary scientists.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract. This is the first part of an oral history interview on the life- long involvement of Joel Lebowitz in the development of statistical mechanics. Here the covered topics include the formative years, which overlapped the tragic period of Nazi power and World War II in Eu- rope, the emigration to the United States in 1946 and the schooling there. It also includes the beginnings and early scientific works with Peter Bergmann, Oliver Penrose and many others. The second part will appear in a forthcoming issue of Eur. Phys. J. H. 1 From war ravaged Europe to New York L. B. Let’s start from the very beginning. Where were you born? J. L. I was born in Taceva, a small town in the Carpathian mountains, in an area which was at that time part of Czechoslovakia, on the border of Romania and about a hundred kilometers from Poland. That was in 1930, and the town then had a population of about ten thousand people, a small town, but fairly advanced.

    File: BMD Tony Reeve and Philip Coates Duration: 0:42:38 Date: 05/08/2016 Typist: 685 START AUDIO Tony Reeve: My name is Tony Reeve, I am 63 years old and I have supported them since 1960 or 1961. Philip Coates: My name is Philip Coates, I am 64 and like Tony I have been supporting them since 1961 or 1962. Interviewer: What made you start supporting Stevenage? Tony Reeve: I have always liked football as a boy. My father brought me the first time in the ‘60s and I just caught the bug from there and carried on watching them. Philip Coates: I think roughly the same. My dad brought me along to the first few matches and as I lived in Stevenage I thought, “I will support Stevenage.” Like Tony I like watching football, it was in me to watch it. Tony Reeve: We both live behind the stand here really, so we are both local. 1 Philip Coates: We are very local. Tony Reeve: It is a five minute walk to the ground. Interviewer: So you have seen the ground change over the years then. Philip Coates: Oh yes. Tony Reeve: Well in the early days it was covered with stones when they first made it and they asked for volunteers to come and pick stones from the pitch. Every game they had there used to be players with blood pouring from their legs because of the stones really. Today you wouldn’t believe that was the same pitch, you just can’t believe it. Philip Coates: The pitch now is like a billiard table, but years ago when it rained the water wouldn’t drain away at all.
