  • SUNDRY EXTRAS Second Edition Many Cricketers Who Have Made A
    COUNTY CRICKET: SUNDRY EXTRAS Second Edition Many cricketers who have made a small contribution to the outcomes of County Championship cricket have special achievements to their names in other fields. Often, of course, they have had other, more ‘worthwhile’ things to do with their lives. Perhaps we can think of them as the ‘Sundry Extras’ of county cricket. David Jeater 1 INTRODUCTION Many cricketers who have made a small contribution to the outcomes of County Championship cricket have special achievements to their names in other fields. Often, of course, they have had other, more ‘worthwhile’ things to do with their lives. Perhaps we can think of them as the ‘Sundry Extras’ of county cricket. The register below, a second edition of this little enterprise, seeks to recognise the achievements of 1,085 such cricketers in many areas of public life, including fields administrative, commercial, cultural, judicial, military, political, professional and sporting. This new version includes material kindly provided by respondents to the first version and material derived from various publications issued in the last couple of years. It covers cricketers with United Kingdom residency who played in fewer than 100 matches in the ‘official’ County Championship between the start of the 1890 season and the end of the 2016 season, who no longer play high-level cricket, and who fall into one or more of the categories listed in the paragraph below. They have: (a) played for England in a Test match; (b) been identified as cricketer of the year by Wisden,

    Constructing and Contesting “the Girlhood of Our Empire”: Girls’ Culture, Labor, and Mobility in Britain, South Africa, and New Zealand, c. 1830-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Elizabeth Ann Dillenburg IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Anna Clark, Mary Jo Maynes April 2019 © Elizabeth Ann Dillenburg 2019 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To call this my dissertation seems like a misnomer, because in reality it is the product of so many people’s time, energy, ideas, and sacrifices. My journey to the completion of this PhD has been a long, often challenging one, and I could not have done it without the support of the people around me. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with scholars whose work I so greatly admire. My advisers, Anna Clark and Mary Jo Maynes, spent countless hours reading my work, providing constructive feedback, supporting me at conferences, writing letters of recommendation, and giving me advice from my first days as a graduate student. They challenged me and saw potential in my work that I could not even see. Their ideas and insights can be found throughout this dissertation. My work is stronger because of their guidance. My committee members—Ann Waltner, Patricia Lorcin, and Andrew Elfenbein—provided me with insightful comments and comparative perspectives that enhanced my work and gave me ideas for future directions for my research. I am also grateful to Evan Roberts, who trusted me his books and guided me through New Zealand history and historiography.

  • SOME ASPECTS of DEVELOPMENT and CELL WALL PROPERTIES of the DESICCATION-SENSITIVE EMBRYOS of Encephalartos Natalensis (ZAMIACEAE)
    SOME ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT AND CELL WALL PROPERTIES OF THE DESICCATION-SENSITIVE EMBRYOS OF Encephalartos natalensis (ZAMIACEAE) WYNSTON WOODENBERG Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban 2013 I ABSTRACT The present investigation can be divided into two main sections: the first dealing with the post-shedding embryogenesis of Encephalartos natalensis and the second concerned with the cell wall properties of immature and mature embryos of this species. Development of the embryo of E. natalensis from a rudimentary meristematic structure approximately 700 μm in length, extends over six months after the seed is shed from the strobilus. Throughout its development the embryo remains attached to a long suspensor. Differentiation of the shoot meristem flanked by two cotyledonary protuberances occurs over the first two months, during which peripheral tannin channels become apparent. Tannins, apparently elaborated by the endoplasmic reticulum, first accumulate in the large central vacuole and ultimately fill the channel. By the fourth month of development the root meristem is apparent and procambial tissue forming discrete vascular bundles can be discerned in the elongating cotyledons. Between four and six months, mucilage ducts differentiate, and, after six months when the seed becomes germinable, the embryo is characterised by cotyledons far longer than the axis. Shoot and root meristem cells remain ultrastructurally similar throughout embryo ontogeny, containing small vacuoles, many well- differentiated mitochondria and ER profiles, abundant polysomes, plastids containing small starch deposits and Golgi bodies. Unusually however, Golgi bodies are infrequent in other cells including those elaborating mucilage which is accumulated in distended ER and apparently secreted into the duct lumen directly by ER-derived vesicles.

  • HISTORY of OLD GROVIANS Yorkshire Division Four – Champions 2012-13 Yorkshire Division Three – Champions 2014-15
    HISTORY OF OLD GROVIANS Yorkshire Division Four – Champions 2012-13 Yorkshire Division Three – Champions 2014-15 The birth of OGRUFC was first discussed by three Old Grovians (James "Foggy" Phillips, John Hinchliffe and Nick Fawcett) over a beer (or two) in the Emmott Arms in Rawdon. Nick Fawcett was the man with the brain wave and the more he spoke, the more we drank and the better the idea of setting up a rugby club became. We were undecided as to how we should proceed, should we join in a second division league and run a social club or go the whole hog and start from the bottom of the Yorkshire Leagues? During the first season of friendlies in 2006 it was decided that the Yorkshire Leagues were for us - we were going all in! Woodhouse Grove School had kindly offered us the use of their facilities (more than one shower nowadays) and the Stansfield Arms opened their door as a clubhouse, without which, Old Grovians RUFC wouldn't have had a chance. 8th September 2006 was the first Yorkshire 5 league game beating Adwick le Street 50-0. Between the 3 founders there was stiff competition to be the first try scorer for Old Grovians but that accolade went to Scot Eastwood-Smith - a true Old Grovian Rugby player whose tragic passing seemed to ironically bring the club even closer together. A finish of 4th in the first season was respectable winning nine of the 22 games. As the years went by we managed to attract plenty of well coached WGS leavers.
