    THE LYONS FAMILY Assem bled by CHARLTON HAVARD LYONS for His Grandchildren This Genealogy is based on data from Dr. G. M. G. Stafford's: GENERAL LEROY AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, A GENEALOGY, and Annie Elizabeth Miller's: OUR FAMILY CIRCLE, and from members of the family and other sources. Letters from Dr. G. M. G. Stafford to C. H. Lyons 1165 Stanford Avenue Baton Rouge, Louisiana June 10, 1948 "My dear Charlton: "Many thanks for your recent letters relative to my genealogical efforts. We old fellows do not get many tokens of commendation especially where our 'hobbies' are concerned, such as your letter expressed, but they are al- ways gratefully received and are very soothing to our pride. We are told that pride was the cause of the fall of Lucifer and his fellow angels, so it is not a new essence in the makeup of God's creatures, and therefore we should not be held too culpable in still retaining a little of it. I have certainly en- joyed my genealogical work. It has been a great source of pleasure to me through these years of my retirement. Always being of an active tempera- ment I just had to have an outlet to a naturally restless disposition, and genealogy, in which I was always interested, came as a great solace to me. "We have a fine lot of forebears, from those uncompromising old Puri- tans of New England to those hot-blooded Southerners of Virginia and South Carolina. When old Grandpa Wright came to the 'Deep South' and married a girl whose progenitors had never been farther north than South Carolina, he mingled two strains of very different elements, and we are the result- and according to my way of thinking, not too bad a sample of good Americanism.

EPILOGUE: THE NAZI-SOVIET PACT 88 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY 95 I. INTRODUCTION In 1936, George Soule, an editor of the New Republic, described in that magazine the feelings of a traveller just returned from the Soviet Union: ••• After a week or so he begins to miss something. He misses the hope, the enthusiasm, the intellectual vigor, the ferment of change. In Russia people have the sense that something new and better is going to happen next week. And it usually does. The feeling is a little like the excitement that accompanied the first few weeks of the New Deal. But the Soviet New Deal has been going on longer, is proyiding more and more tangible results, and retains its vitality ..• For Soule, interest in the "Soviet New Deal" was an expression of dis- content with his own society; while not going so far as to advocate So- viet solutions to American problems, he regarded Soviet progress as proof that there existed solutions to those problems superior to those offered by the New Deal. When he and others on the American Left in the 1930's found the Soviet Union a source of inspiration, praised what they saw there, and spoke at times as if they had found utopia, the phenomenon was not a new one.

Pidgeon Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 15 December 2011 ii iii ABSTRACT Who were the Wydeviles? The family arrived with the Conqueror in 1066. As followers in the Conqueror’s army the Wydeviles rose through service with the Mowbray family. If we accept the definition given by Crouch and Turner for a brief period of time the Wydeviles qualified as barons in the twelfth century. This position was not maintained. By the thirteenth century the family had split into two distinct branches. The senior line settled in Yorkshire while the junior branch settled in Northamptonshire. The junior branch of the family gradually rose to prominence in the county through service as escheator, sheriff and knight of the shire.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    Situating Gangs Within Scotland's Illegal Drugs Market(S)

    Trends Organ Crim https://doi.org/10.1007/s12117-017-9328-1 Situating gangs within Scotland’sillegaldrugsmarket(s) Robert McLean1 & James A. Densley2 & Ross Deuchar1 # The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract The Scottish government’s(2008) publication ‘The road to recovery: A new approach to tackling Scotland’s drug problem’ elaborates and outlines the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) desire to make Scotland ‘drug free’ by 2019. To achieve this objective, the Scottish Government’s(2015) ‘Serious Organised Crime Strategy’ (SSOCS) entails dismantling networks of drug supply. Yet missing from this strategic planning is a) recognition of how, if at all, different types of gangs are involved in drug supply, and b) how drug supply processes actually work. Therefore, this article seeks to extend McLean’s(JDeviantBehav, 2017) Scottish gang model, which specifies a typology of gangs in Scotland, in an effort to locate precise levels of gang involvement in the drugs market. This is achieved by drawing upon Pearson and Hobbs’ (2001) hierarchical model of the UK’s illegal drug(s) market. In-depth interviews with 35 offenders involved in criminal networks and five practitioners, indicate that recreational Youth Street Gangs are really only involved in ‘social supply’. Youth Criminal Gangs are primarily involved in commercially motivated dealing at the low- to mid-levels, including bulk-buying between the retail-to-wholesale markets. And enterprising Serious Organised Crime Gangs operate from the middle-to-apex market level. Conclusions which situate this gang typology within the illegal drug market(s) are used to put forward recommendations aimed at dismantling of drug supply networks.
  • Time Unfrozen

    Time Unfrozen

    Change of Focus—1 tony wood TIME UNFROZEN The Films of Aleksei German his is my declaration of love for the people I grew up ‘ with as a child’, says a voice at the beginning of Aleksei TGerman’s Moi drug Ivan Lapshin (My Friend Ivan Lapshin). There is a pause as the narrator struggles for the right words to express his feelings for the Soviet Union of the thirties; when they come—ob”iasnenie v liubvi—it is with a strained emphasis on ‘love’. The fi lm, released in 1984, is set in 1935 in the fi ctional provincial town of Unchansk, where a young boy and his father share a communal fl at with criminal police investigator Ivan Lapshin and half a dozen others. It weaves together elements from the director’s father Iurii German’s detective stories and novellas of the same period: a troupe of actors arrive to play at the town’s theatre; Lapshin tracks down a gang of crimi- nals trading in human meat; a friend of Lapshin’s, Khanin, becomes unhinged after his wife dies of typhus; the spirited actress Adashova falls in love with Khanin, and Lapshin with Adashova. The authorities are largely absent: it is a fi lm about people ‘building socialism’ on a bleak frozen plain, their town’s one street a long straggle of low wooden build- ings beneath a huge white sky, leading from the elegant stucco square by the river’s quayside out into wilderness. There is a single tram, a military band, a plywood ‘victory arch’ of which they are all proud—‘My father’, the narrator recounts, ‘would never take a short cut across the town’: he always went the long way round, under the victory arch.

Enjoy every moment of life. As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop to ask for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and saw that the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends.
