W With the support of our regulators and about life at Northampton General Hospital. commissioners, we could create two additional wards at the Cliftonville end of the site, ensuring that we develop new ways of working to maximise efficiency and cover the costs required. We have already been successful this year in obtaining loans for capital equipment to replace high cost items such as linear accelerators, CT scanners and MRI scanners. This type of loan is at an affordable interest rate and is currently the best way to finance this expenditure. Keeping our patients safe during the winter and pulling together during the junior doctors’ strikes tested all of us, and I’m proud of the efforts of ‘Team NGH’ in meeting the challenges. We still get some great compliments that stress the friendly, caring nature of our people - even when it is very busy. We’re very much hoping that more beds in 2016 will mean that we can continue to improve our services and ensure all our patients receive their care in the most appropriate location without delay.

After the group describes how they assign names to each cat in the tribe, they assemble in preparation to take part in the annual festival of cat-dom...they send out invitations to attend the Jellicle Ball! At the Ball, each cat tries to prove to Old Deuteronomy (the leader of the Jellicle tribe) why he or she deserves to go the Heavyside Layer – a heavenly feline afterlife. Munkustrap, the show’s feline narrator, introduces the cats one by one starting with Jennyanydots. The Rum Tum Tugger, the wild and inconstant Elvis-esque cat, interrupts her presentation with his grand entrance; he feels no obligation to other cats and does as he feels. Following Tugger’s exuberant performance, the old and greying Grizabella makes her way through the group causing the tribe to scatter. The other cats dislike the lowly Grizabella and somberly sing of her sad state. As Grizabella sulks off into the night, the fat and renowned Bustopher Jones sings of his elite status among his fellow cats.

North of Fitchburg, about 7 or 8 miles from Fitchburg toward New Hampshire. BJ: What about the dam there made you move? JH: We were on the Connecticut River, and when the water filled up, the water set back. Our farm wasn’t too far from the river. (Was that considered water shed land then?) No, f course, the Yankee Power Plant is there now. BJ: Did they buy that land from you? JH: Oh yes. We had to get out, that’s all. We lived not far from Bernardston—about 5 or 6 miles, toward Brattleboro. BJ: And you had to get out because they were going to make a dam?

    Drawing after the Antique at the British Museum Supplementary Materials: Biographies of Students Admitted to Draw in the Townley Gallery, British Museum, with Facsimiles of the Gallery Register Pages (1809 – 1817) Essay by Martin Myrone Contents Facsimile TranscriptionBOE#JPHSBQIJFT • Page 1 • Page 2 • Page 3 • Page 4 • Page 5 • Page 6 • Page 7 Sources and Abbreviations • Manuscript Sources • Abbreviations for Online Resources • Further Online Resources • Abbreviations for Printed Sources • Further Printed Sources 1 of 120 Jan. 14 Mr Ralph Irvine, no.8 Gt. Howland St. [recommended by] Mr Planta/ 6 months This is probably intended for the Scottish landscape painter Hugh Irvine (1782– 1829), who exhibited from 8 Howland Street in 1809. “This young gentleman, at an early period of life, manifested a strong inclination for the study of art, and for several years his application has been unremitting. For some time he was a pupil of Mr Reinagle of London, whose merit as an artist is well known; and he has long been a close student in landscape afer Nature” (Thom, History of Aberdeen, 1: 198). He was the third son of Alexander Irvine, 18th laird of Drum, Aberdeenshire (1754–1844), and his wife Jean (Forbes; d.1786). His uncle was the artist and art dealer James Irvine (1757–1831). Alexander Irvine had four sons and a daughter; Alexander (b.1777), Charles (b.1780), Hugh, Francis, and daughter Christian. There is no record of a Ralph Irvine among the Irvines of Drum (Wimberley, Short Account), nor was there a Royal Academy student or exhibiting or listed artist of this name, so this was surely a clerical error or misunderstanding.
