The committee Volume 1 Issue 2 Page 3 THE RINGING RAMBLE 21 July 2018 by Alan Barber For this year’s Ramble we will be returning to Hartlepool. This will give people the opportunity to ring on a variety of bells with one almost unique ring of 6 in the Art Gallery located in the former Christ Church, two rings of 8 and one ring of 10. It will also give people the chance to enjoy the vast improvement at St Oswald’s following the work done in 2016. Because the towers are relatively close together the distance to be walked will be somewhat less than 4 miles so will be more of a leisurely walk rather than an out and out ramble. As a result it may appeal to the less experienced walk- ers. However, as always, those who wish to drive from tower to tower will be welcome. The programme for the day will be: From To Tower Bel Weight ls 10.30 am 11.30 am All Saints, Stranton 8 12-03-04 11.45 am 12.45 pm St Aidan 8 14-0-7 2.30 pm 3.30 pm St Oswald 10 21-0-12 4.00 pm 4.45 pm Art Gallery 6 9-02-24 For those who wish to travel by train one can catch the 09.41 from Newcastle Central which is scheduled to arrive in Hartlepool at 10.24. Alternatively if driving one can use the car park at Tescos which is close to Stranton Church and where there are no time limitations. I look forward to seeing many of you on the day and if you have any queries relating to the date then please contact me.

  • Barton Village and the Great War 1914-1918 Anthony Ewen
    Barton Village And The Great War 1914-1918 Anthony Ewen BARTON VILLAGE & THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 Contents Introduction and Personal Note Map Street by Street Meaning of Terms The Fallen Events Timeline The Armistice and After The Survivors Cemeteries and Memorials Acknowledgements BARTON VILLAGE & THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 Introduction Like almost every community in the country, Barton Village felt the tragedy of the conflict. The war memorial in the church of St Paul’s Barton commemorates the names of 124 men who lost their lives, whilst the memorial for Barton School repeats the names of the 70 former pupils who died and confirms that 750 former Barton Boys took part in the hostilities, one of whom was awarded the Military Cross and six the Military Medal. Barton School Memorial St Paul’s Church Barton Memorial The early patriotic fervour that greeted the outbreak of war and the later introduction of conscription saw the young men of the community sign up for duty across the range of military services, so, along with the more expected signings to ‘local’ regiments such as The Hampshire Regiment and The Isle Of Wight Rifles we see men enlisted in battalions of the Army further afield and the Royal Navy. In some cases men are identified with overseas Regiments (Australia and Canada) and it is probably the case that, whilst being born on the Isle of Wight and attending Barton School, these emigrated prior to 1914 due to the severe local unemployment situation at home. The Isle of Wight County Press (IWCP) on 26 September 1914, under a heading of ‘The Island Roll of Honour’, began printing lists of Island men already involved in the conflict.

  • Application of Link Integrity Techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Department of Electronics and Computer Science A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD Supervisor: Prof. Wendy Hall and Dr Les Carr Examiner: Dr Nick Gibbins Application of Link Integrity techniques from Hypermedia to the Semantic Web by Rob Vesse February 10, 2011 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil to PhD by Rob Vesse As the Web of Linked Data expands it will become increasingly important to preserve data and links such that the data remains available and usable. In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web. Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Hypothesis . .2 1.2 Report Overview . .8 2 Literature Review 9 2.1 Problems in Link Integrity . .9 2.1.1 The `Dangling-Link' Problem . .9 2.1.2 The Editing Problem . 10 2.1.3 URI Identity & Meaning . 10 2.1.4 The Coreference Problem . 11 2.2 Hypermedia . 11 2.2.1 Early Hypermedia . 11 2.2.1.1 Halasz's 7 Issues . 12 2.2.2 Open Hypermedia . 14 2.2.2.1 Dexter Model . 14 2.2.3 The World Wide Web .

Despite a plethora of undeniable facts presented by myself and members of the Red Sea Wreck Academy, self proclaiming experts still, for reasons known only to themselves, continued to quote the MARCUS as the CHRISOULA K. It was archive photographs from Howard Rosenstien and the location of the ships bell, which added weight to Stephan Jablonski’s accounts of the sinkings’. This new material gave us enough to produce the first E book in 2008. Being free from restrictions it soon found its way around the world and was passed on from diver to diver. It had the desired effect-Now more and more reports carry the correct identity.

  • Sidney Wilkins Private, No
    Sidney Wilkins Private, No. 23078, 4th Battalion, Worcestershire Regiment Sidney Wilkins was born in March 1897 in Winchmore Hill, Amersham, the first child of George and Laura Elizabeth Wilkins (née Rogers). George was born in Amersham and his occupation is listed in the 1901 Census as a Windsor chair framer, and then Windsor chair maker in the 1911 Census. The occupation of Laura, who was born in Penn, is given as bead-work agent, which was a job in the chair-making industry. In 1901 the family were living in Winchmore Hill, Penn Street, Penn and they had three children, Sidney the eldest, Dorothy b.1902 and Ronald b.1905. However, tragedy was to come to the family as in March 1907 Laura died at the age of 28, leaving George to look after Sidney, Dorothy and Ronald, which he did until he met and married Kate Mary Higgs in December 1910. Kate was born in High Wycombe in June 1880; and George had a further child by her: George Frederick was born in March 1912. By the time of the 1911 Census Sidney was 14 years old and at school; and the family were living at ‘The Old Griffin’, Mop End, Amersham. Kelly’s Directory for Buckinghamshire 1915 lists George Wilkins as a beer retailer at ‘The Old Griffin’. Whether he undertook this activity after chair making or at the same time is unknown. “The Griffin”, Mop End, Near Amersham. The tile-like objects under the boards in the foreground are Windsor chair seats ready for chair making when seasoned.
