The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 The Falcon 1918 Welcome to the Falcon Welcome to this very special edition of the Falcon Newspaper. In this edition we shall explore the enrichment day held on the 9th of November to commemorate Armistice Day (11/11). Today, the students split into many groups of varying year groups, with each group being delegated to differing tasks, which changed every period. We, however, are the journalists. We were writing all day. Today strengthens feelings of togetherness and camaraderie. Today is an effort to remember dreadful times with slightly less dreadful activi- ties. Today has been more powerful a lesson than any classroom could provide, most likely due to the fact that we are involved; we are there. We are taking part, and the effort that takes realises the events of that frightful time, over 100 years ago. A time that, should there be any luck in the world, will never be repeated. A time that should never be forgotten… Friday 9th November 2018 The Falcon 1918 Welcome to the Falcon The journalists who have their articles featured in this newspaper are: Year 7 Year 11 Thomas Bairstow Matthew Dundon Jacob Fairweather Chloe Minting Archie Turner Year 12 Year 8 Pippa Holmes Eloise Christon Caitlin Kelly Year 9 Year 13 Olivia Cooke Amelia Macmillan Sebastian Fatz Alanah Winfield Iona Bailey Abi Collins Year 10 Danny Hubbuck Isaac Bainbridge Jed Gauder The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 Quick March! By Jacob, Chloe, Alanah and Iona On the back yard, we witnessed students performing marching drills under the watchful eye of an Army instructor named Wayne. Wayne has served for 13 years, and is eleven days from retirement (at the time of writing). He gained a teaching and instructing mechanics degree during his time in the Army; he can fix almost any land vehicle, as well as installing AC in buildings, a skill that would be useful around the school! He also gained a qualification in first aid, so he can also be a field medic, should the need arise. Wayne joined the army because he felt he could make a difference in the world, and he wanted to make the world a better place. After 13 years, Wayne feels he has achieved his goal. Another veteran who wants to make a difference in the world is our very own Mr Holmes. What initiated his recruitment process into the Army was the fact that his friend joined up with him, and the armed forces seemed exciting to him. He also wanted to get his driving licences. You see; Mr Holmes wanted to be a trucker! So, why become a teacher, when your heart is set on trucking? Well, in the army, Mr Homes realised that he was making a difference, and that teaching would allow him to continue doing so. I don’t know about you, but I really respect teachers who get into the profession due to a desire to positively impact the lives of students. The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 Art By Eloise, Abi, Jed and Matthew Art had a big impact on the people of this country during the First World War. The recruitment posters all had some form of inspiring art on them. One American example had a picture of a man nicknamed “Uncle Sam” stamping on the Kaiser. The words read “Help Uncle Sam stamp out the Kaiser”. Thirsk School’s own art project was to draw poppies on the back of photocopies of old letters. Once they were finished they turned the letters into paper chains. The students in this session said that the session was interesting in the sense that it was a creative way of learning about the topic. They also thought that it was a different type of learning to what they do on a normal school day. The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 Veteran Video By Isaac A veteran is someone who has served but is no longer serving in the armed forces. Students watched a video about a man who fought in World War 1. It was a very sad film with uplifting moments. The veteran survived the war and it was filmed after the end of the First World War. The video was about his experience of World War One and about all the hardships he had faced. When going over the top of the trenches he fell into the mud and nearly suffocated to death he said to himself ‘if this is death then I guess it’s not too bad’. However he was saved and carried back on a stretcher. He had to have an operation to save his life but was soon returned to his girlfriend, who was soon to be his wife, who had written to him every day since the start of the war. Letters from the Front By Isaac, Caitlin and Olivia Students took part in an activity, which included a video of letters that had been sent from the front line. We spoke to two students, one being in Year 7 and one in year 10, and they said it gave them time to reflect and remember the people who fought on the frontline. The year 7 said that it was a good opportunity to remember the people who fought for us during the war. The year 10 student said that he respected their sacrifices. The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 Blackadder ‘Goodbyeee’ By Isaac, Caitlin and Olivia In the first session a group of different aged students and sixth formers aged between 11 and 18, watch the Blackadder TV show ‘Goodbyeee’. It is the last episode of the Blackadder series and is a mixture of comedy and sadness. It is about World War One and the devastation it caused. It has 3 main characters who are all trying to escape because they know if they go ‘over the top’ they will die. The main character Blackadder tries to act insane, but his attempt failed and all the main characters died in the end. A Year 9 said ‘it was a humorous explanation of what really happened’. The story ends with the group going over the top on Christmas day and being shot down by the enemy. Eleanor Fountain (Year 9) said ‘Yes, it helped us understand the basics of World War One through a humorous perspective, although towards the end, there was a sense of it “being very real” when they die.’ The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 Family links By Seb We discovered that two of our students, Harriet and Charlie, are related to the last surviving veteran of World War One and World War Two, Claude Choules. Seb interviewed Harriet about her ancestor. SEB: Who was Claude Choules? HARRIET: He was my ancestor who went into the war when he was 14, and at the age of 15 he was a British Born Seaman. He was the last person who fought in The First World War to die, (2011) and he also a fighting soldier in the Second World War. He moved to Australia to enjoy his older years. He was born in 1901, in Pershore but unfortunately I was not able to meet him in person. SEB: How old were you when he passed away? HARRIET: I was four years old when he died and I was never able to meet him. SEB: Do you have anything you would like to tell him if you could meet your ancestor? HARRIET: Thank you for protecting our country. The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 Sowerby War Memorial By Eloise, Mathew, Jed and Abi For one of the sessions led by the Sports Hall, some students went on a trip to Sowerby Church. Here they met Mr Tucker (from Tucker talks). In the church they read telegrams sent from army officials to families about their relatives who were killed or declared missing in action during the war. They then had a two minute silence to remember the fallen soldiers, and also laid a wreath. One student told us that they found this session particularly interesting as it made learning about the experience more personal, as they were then able to link it back to names and families. Furthermore, they thought that this made for a very effective type of learning as it allowed the students to see that the people in the War which they’re learning about aren’t just statistics – they were real people, with real lives and families who cared about them and their loss. Doing this meant the students were able to further understand the huge impact that the war had on not only the country as a whole, but the individuals who fought and aided the effort. The Falcon 1918 Friday 9th November 2018 Sowerby Stories By Chloe Some students have been finding out about some of the stories of soldiers from our area. They were given a question sheet and were given the task of completing it using the information from the St Oswald’s church website. This is an example of some of the stories we have discovered in the activity where we extracted information from various stories. Tom Grainger died very early on in the war on the 15th October 1914 (aged 36) He was in the 2nd battalion of the royal scots. In 1904 he signed up to join the Royal Garrison Artillery, enlisting at Burton- on-Trent and then going to Portsmouth. During this time he transferred to the Royal Scots (Lothian) Regiment and started new training and became a bandsman where he played the bass.

Plot Blackadder Goes Forth is set in 1917 on the Western Front in the trenches of World War I. Captain Edmund Blackadder is a professional soldier in the British Army who, until the outbreak of the Great War, has enjoyed a relatively danger-free existence fighting natives who were usually "two feet tall and armed with dried grass". Finding himself trapped in the trenches with another "big push" planned, his concern is to avoid being sent over the top to certain death. The show thus chronicles Blackadder's attempts to escape the trenches through various schemes, most of which fail due to bad fortune, misunderstandings and the general incompetence of his comrades.

Gerard Casey University College Dublin Dublin 4, Ireland Ph. 353 1 716 8201 Email. [email protected] 1 Abstract Law, like language, is the product of social evolution, embodied in custom. The conditions for the emergence of law—embodiment, scarcity, rationality, relatedness and plurality—are outlined, and the context for the emergence of law—dispute resolution— is analysed. Adjudication procedures, rules and enforcement mechanisms, the elements of law, emerge from this context. The characteristics of such a customarily evolved law are its severely limited scope, its negativity, and its horizontality. It is suggested that a legal system (or systems) based on the principles of archaic law could answer the needs of social order without permitting the paternalistic interferences with liberty characteristic of contemporary legal systems. 2 I: Introduction In the darkest days of World War I, the following conversation took place in the trenches between the courage-challenged but cynical Captain Blackadder and the intelligence- challenged but phlegmatic Private Baldrick.

  • Faith in Conflict: a Study of British Experiences in the First World War with Particular Reference to the English Midlands
    FAITH IN CONFLICT: A STUDY OF BRITISH EXPERIENCES IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ENGLISH MIDLANDS by STUART ANDREW BELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham January 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The thesis addresses the question, ‘How did the First World War affect the religious faith of the people of Britain?’ The ways in which wartime preachers, hymn-writers, diarists and letter-writers expressed their faith are examined. For the vast majority, the War was both a military and a spiritual conflict of right against might and the rhetoric of a Holy War was popular. Questions of divine omnipotence and providence troubled many, the standard response being that war was a consequence of God’s gift of free will. The language of sacrifice dominated public discourse, with many asserting that the salvation of the fallen was ensured by their own sacrifice.

No war to date required nor mobilized the amount of materiél that was consumed from 1914-1918. These efforts included not only the physical organization and deployment of men and supplies. Recent scholarship has shown that morale was also mobilized and remobilized during the war. This study focuses on where these efforts converge: the use of everyday psychoactive stimulants and their effects on morale at the front, and the economic mobilization of these goods and industries en masse. As such, this project highlights the importance of a variety of agricultural products that are quite unnecessary to human subsistence, but have nonetheless come to be considered indispensable from everyday consumption. These ordinary goods include sugar, tobacco, coffee, tea, as well as alcoholic beverages.

  • The First World War in British Theatre
    The First World War in British Theatre Nathan Gregory Finger Macquarie University, Department of English In the Somme valley, the back of language broke. It could no longer carry its former meanings. World War I changed the life of words and images in art, radically and forever. —ROBERT HUGHES This thesis is submitted to Macquarie University in fulfilment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy in English. The work is entirely my own and has not been submitted elsewhere for examination. Signed: Nathan Finger Date: ii Acknowledgments First and foremost thanks must go to Paul for the guidance and advice you gave every step of way, especially in the wayward early days of this project. Without your help I’m quite certain I never would have made it. Second, to the people who endured living with me during this process. Anita, Tom and Angela, that means you guys. You fed me and provided much needed social interaction. But let’s face it, I really am the perfect housemate. My comrade throughout all of this, Jenn. Whenever confusion set in, or things looked dark, or I needed a second opinion on when to use a hyphen, you were always there. I can’t imagine having done this without you. I think it made all the difference. And finally, Mum and Dad, for a hundred thousand reasons that could never be listed. For everything. iii Abstract More than a century since its declaration, the First World War is universally accepted as one of the defining events of the twentieth century. Socially, politically, economically and culturally the war is viewed as having been a watershed and marks the boundary between all facets of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

  • Concerted Applications of Gas Electron Diffraction and Computational Chemistry
    Structure and Dynamics by Experiment and Theory: Concerted Applications of Gas Electron Diffraction and Computational Chemistry Conor Douglas Rankine Doctor of Philosophy University of York Chemistry June 2019 To everyone in the C/A/057 Phys. Chem. Office: “Well …whatever [your plan] was, I’m sure it was better than my plan to get out of all this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman ‘round here?” Edmund Blackadder. “Goodbyeee”. Blackadder Goes Forth. BBC. 2 Nov. 1989. ii Abstract To plan and prepare the strongest research proposals for time-resolved gas electron diffraction (TRGED) experiments, the author has launched and overseen the development of two new research programmes in the Wann Electron Diffraction Group. A time-averaged gas electron diffraction (GED) programme has seen the technique re- established in the UK following the relocation, recommission, and modernisation of a 1960s gas electron diffractometer. Two case studies – a) 4-(dimethylamino)benzonitrile, and b) tinII bis(trifluoroacetate), ditinII μ-oxy-bis-μ-trifluoroacetate, and tinIV tetrakis(trifluoroacetate) – highlight the range of chemical samples that are accessible to study using the upgraded gas electron diffractometer. A computational chemistry programme has seen trajectory surface-hopping dynamics (TSHD) introduced to the Wann Electron Diffraction Group, delivering a paradigm shift in the ability of the research group to plan and interpret TRGED experiments. Parallel Python code has been developed to simulate TRGED data and benchmarked with up to 64 CPU cores as part of this programme. High performance is achieved in the strong and weak parallel scaling regimes. The interplay between the two programmes is illustrated in three case studies: the photolysis of 1,2-diiodotetrafluoroethane, the photofission of the disulfide bond in 1,2-dithiane, and the photoisomerisation of E-cinnamonitrile.

  • INVESTIGATING the STYLE, FORM and GENRE of PERIOD DRAMA in 2010S BRITISH TELEVISION
    A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2020 HERITAGE AND POST-HERITAGE: INVESTIGATING THE STYLE, FORM AND GENRE OF PERIOD DRAMA IN 2010s BRITISH TELEVISION WILL STANFORD This image is unavailable. Please consult reference on page ii for further information. ABBISS ii ABSTRACT This project analyses six period drama productions in British television of the 2010s, expanding Claire Monk’s term of ‘post-heritage’ into a critical framework. Its case studies establish a cycle of progressive representations of the past in recent television drama, which operate against the assumptions of ‘heritage’ nostalgia forwarded by earlier scholars. The post-heritage framework consists of five guiding elements: interrogation, subversion, subjectivity, self-consciousness and ambiguity. These inform the analysis of the project’s case studies, while also allowing the existence of post-heritage elements to be recognised in earlier period drama productions. The thesis is split into three distinct parts, which allow the heritage and post-heritage elements of the case studies to be associated with the characteristics and theoretical concepts of television drama. The first chapter of each part evaluates the institutional context of its case study, identifying its impact upon production through textual examples from the programme. The second chapter of each part focuses on close analysis, demonstrating the extent to which post- heritage elements can assist innovation in television drama. Part I focuses on televisual style, identifying the naturalist, realist and modernist aesthetics of television drama. Scholarly sources are used to connect these with periods of British television history.
