Although the exhibition set out to cover Senior’s formative years it does not include the time spent at Christ’s when his distinctive style was developed, is evidenced by a number of paintings in private collections. The years chosen partly reflect the grim reality of life in the industrial Midlands, characterised by smoke and industrial decay. One critic described his reaction to the ‘Vale of Health’ as follows: The low earth tones, heavy paint and near abstract construction of the landscape had a distinct lingering mood and a deep resonance. My response to the painting was an intensely physical one, feeling a ‘gut reaction’, enjoying that sudden shock of excitement that often accompanies an important discovery’. The same approach colours the later scenes of London’s Primrose Hill and Kenwood. Besides the landscapes the exhibition included two forceful portraits, one of the artist and another of his favourite model, ‘Tish’. http://www.courtgallery.com/artists/Senior.html View webpage View webpage London to Varese for Luke and Leukaemia OC James Paull (SH '05) is part of a team cycling from London to Varese to raise money for the Haematology Ward in the Ospedale di Circolo e Fondazione Macchi and to donate funds to Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.

  • Paul Gambaccini
    2017­6­12 An Evening With Paul Gambaccini An Evening With Paul Gambaccini By Alexander Baron ­ Oct 31, 2015 Paul Gambaccini 6 0 0 0 6 0 0 0 18 6 0 SHARES a d y n f h k m Paul Gambaccini may be a DJ, radio presenter and noted musicologist, but when he turned up at the Law Society Hall in London’s Chancery Lane on Thursday night, the last thing on his mind was entertainment. With him on the stage was Christopher Jefferies, and sitting between them was Owen Bowcott, Legal Affairs Correspondent of the Guardian newspaper. If the name Chris Jefferies is not familiar to you, he was in the news five years ago for all the wrong reasons. The retired teacher owns several properties in the Bristol area, and when one of his tenants was found murdered, he was an obvious suspect; families, friends and acquaintances along with any enemies of the victim always are. It was not unreasonable that he was arrested, but for reasons that need not concern us here he was subjected to considerable vilification by the tabloids which would clearly have prejudiced his trial had he been charged. https://www.infotextmanuscripts.org/tln/An%20Evening%20With%20Paul%20Gambaccini­.html 1/6 2017­6­12 An Evening With Paul Gambaccini After he was released on police bail, another suspect came to light. Vincent Tabak would eventually be convicted of the murder of Joanna Yeates, and there is no uncertainty about his guilt. While Mr Jefferies was accused of a real crime, Paul Gambaccini was accused of an entirely imaginary one, and although it was a far less serious allegation, it would still have destroyed his life had it stuck.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • R V Vincent Tabak [2011]-A Murder Case in Bristol, England
    R v Vincent Tabak [2011]-a murder case in Bristol, England 1 CHAPTER ONE Introduction Joanna Yeates was a 25 year old woman who was murdered on 15 December 2010. Her body was discovered on 26 December 2010 and on 23 January 2011 her next door neighbour Dr Vincent Tabak, a highly qualified Dutch architectural engineer (working in Bath, England, United Kingdom) was arrested and charged with her murder. The murder trial began on Monday 10 October 2011. Court One was court where the murder trial took place at Bristol Crown Court, Small Street, Bristol. The jury was sworn in a few days before the trial began. There were no black persons among the jury even though Bristol has a huge representation of black persons among its citizens.[1] The Court Bristol Crown Court is a modern, busy court. The Crown Court is the correct jurisdiction for a murder trial. The status, jurisdiction and administration of the Crown Court is governed by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, section 59 (5) and Schedule 11, paragraphs 1 and 26, and by certain sections of the Criminal Procedure Rules 2005. See the Statutory Instrument 2005 Number 384 (SI 2005/384). 2 Violence The concept of violence concerns most law-abiding citizens in all countries. Defining violence has long been debated among criminologists for most of this century and before this time. The term ‘violence’ some argue, lacks precision, which is why it is difficult to define, coupled with the fact that, embedded in events and actions which are perceived and understood as violent, are variable and conflicting conceptions of social and moral order.

  • (Arrested Persons) Bill Bill 9 of 2010-11 RESEARCH PAPER 11/13 2 February 2011
    Anonymity (Arrested Persons) Bill Bill 9 of 2010-11 RESEARCH PAPER 11/13 2 February 2011 The Anonymity (Arrested Persons) Bill is a Private Member’s Bill. It was presented to Parliament by Anna Soubry on 30 June 2010 as Bill 9 of 2010-11. It is due to have its second reading on 4 February 2011. The Bill would prohibit the publication or broadcast of the name, address or image (still or moving) of a person arrested for an offence if such information would be likely to lead members of the public to identify him or her as the person suspected of committing the offence in question. These reporting restrictions would remain in force unless and until the arrested person was charged with the offence for which he or she had been arrested. A Crown Court judge would, however, have the power to direct that the reporting restrictions should not apply in any particular case: for example, where identifying the suspect in the press might lead to additional complainants coming forward or to information that would assist either the police investigation or the suspect. The Bill follows recent controversy over press coverage of a man arrested (and subsequently released on bail without charge) on suspicion of the murder of Joanna Yeates. The Sunday Times has suggested that the Bill has the support of the Justice Secretary and the Attorney General, although it should be emphasised that there has been no official confirmation of the Government’s position.
