President Ti nsley's An niversary In Celebration of " 10 Remarkable Years" by David Wilson, '71 Dr. Adrian Tinsley recently completed her 10th year as president ofBridgewater State College. In the following article, we chronicle how her leadership has revitalized, strengthened and - in significant ways - transformed the college. According to a survey conducted several years ago by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), 61 percent of college presidents have been in their current positions less than six years; 26 percent have been in office less than two years. "Twenty-five years ago, it wasn't unusual for a president to serve 10 or more years at the same campus," said AASCU in a state­ ment announcing the survey results, but "since presidencies can be a very rough ride ... turnover in academia's top job has increased." Given those circumstances, the fact that Adrian Tinsley has re­ mained as Bridgewater's president • for more than 10 years now is an impressive accomplishment all by itself. President Tinsley is congratulated by Mr. Robert Cook, catering manager, Sodexo Yet if one reflects back on the Food Service, as he presents an anniversary cake to her. challenges she faced at Bridgewater as a new college president in the summer of 1989 - and then one completed the maximum 10 years The memories are still vivid in their considers how different an institu­ allowed by statute for trustee minds. tion Bridgewater is in 1999 - it service and stepped down from the "Massive cuts in your college's becomes clear just how effective she Board). upcoming state appropriation," Mr. has been in that position.

September 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sam Burton and James Marson for all of the advice and support they have provided. Further, I would like to express my gratitude towards them for their continual dedication to the Sheffield Hallam Law department. Abstract This thesis aims to explore why torture, deemed illegitimate by the Western world for more than a century, has resurfaced as a topic of debate, and persists despite its formal prohibition. It also endeavours to shed light on the main issues involved in the ‘torture debate’. To do so, it begins by exploring the history of torture; examining how it has developed over time, and how its uses have changed.

    POLICY BRIEF Build Sustainable Financing and Partnerships for Girls and Women Facts, Solutions, Cases, and Calls to Action Building sustainable financing and partnerships for girls and women is linked to OVERVIEW the achievement of the Donor and national investments targeting gender equality and girls’ and women’s health, rights, and Sustainable Development wellbeing remain insufficient to achieve the ambitious targets set for gender equality in the Sustainable Goals (SDGs) and targets, Development Goals (SDGs).1 More work and commitments are needed to improve the lives of girls and including: women, thus enabling communities and nations to unlock their full potential.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by Professor Anthony Costello and UCL Colleagues (FRC0001)
    Written evidence submitted by Professor Anthony Costello and UCL colleagues (FRC0001) Thank you for the opportunity to submit written evidence to the Committee in response to the questions you have sent to me. We have not attempted to address every point comprehensively but have provided brief responses to your questions below based on my views and this of UCL colleagues. I would be pleased to discuss any of these further. This submission has been developed with input from UCL colleagues including: Professor Di Gibb, Dr Lu Gram, Professor Ilan Kelman, Dr Alexis Palfreyman, Professor Audrey Prost, Professor Max Parmar, Dr Sarah Petts, Dr Ed Fottrell, Sarah Chaytor and Dr Naomi Saville. 1. What regions or countries in the developing world are best equipped to manage a major outbreak of COVID-19? What regions or countries are most at risk, and why? The approach of many African countries seems to have slowed the development of coronavirus. This includes: shutting borders, testing new arrivals, use of quarantine, and contact track and trace. This is supplemented by clear guidelines and briefing documents. Some countries may benefit from prior experience of managing other pandemics (for example Ebola outbreaks in Uganda, HIV, and TB). Whilst some African countries have initiated lockdowns, these are unlikely to be sustained for long given the significant economic hardship, especially for the most vulnerable, and impact on food and essential medicine supply (including for HIV). Nonetheless the World Health Organization is now forecasting that 250 million people in sub-Saharan Africa will be infected with coronavirus in the next year.

  • The Horan Family Diaspora Since Leaving Ireland 191 Years Ago
    A Genealogical Report on the Descendants of Michael Horan and Mary Minnock by A.L. McDevitt Introduction The purpose of this report is to identify the descendants of Michael Horan and Mary Minnock While few Horans live in the original settlement locations, there are still many people from the surrounding areas of Caledon, and Simcoe County, Ontario who have Horan blood. Though heavily weigh toward information on the Albion Township Horans, (the descendants of William Horan and Honorah Shore), I'm including more on the other branches as information comes in. That is the descendants of the Horans that moved to Grey County, Ontario and from there to Michigan and Wisconsin and Montana. I also have some information on the Horans that moved to Western Canada. This report was done using Family Tree Maker 2012. The Genealogical sites I used the most were Ancestry.ca, Family Search.com and Automatic Genealogy. While gathering information for this report I became aware of the importance of getting this family's story written down while there were still people around who had a connection with the past. In the course of researching, I became aware of some differences in the original settlement stories. I am including these alternate versions of events in this report, though I may be personally skeptical of the validity of some of the facts presented. All families have myths. I feel the dates presented in the Land Petitions of Mary Minnock and the baptisms in the County Offaly, Ireland, Rahan Parish registers speak for themselves. Though not a professional Genealogist, I have the obligation to not mislead other researchers.
