Doc Brown Actor/Comedian
Doc Brown Actor/Comedian Ben ‘Doc Brown’ Smith originally made a name for himself as a rapper, known as much for his off-the-cuff freestyle rhymes on stage as for his self-deprecating style on record. A chance meeting with DJ/Producer Mark Ronson in 2004 struck up a relationship that led to Doc touring with Ronson’s band as their MC on a string of festival shows from 2006 – 2007.

IS and Cultural Genocide: Antiquities Trafficking in the Terrorist State
JSOU Report 16-11 IS and Cultural Genocide: Antiquities Trafficking Howard, Elliott, and Prohov and Elliott, JSOUHoward, Report IS and Cultural 16-11 Trafficking Genocide: Antiquities JOINT SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIVERSITY In IS and Cultural Genocide: Antiquities Trafficking in the Terrorist State, the writing team of Retired Brigadier General Russell Howard, Marc Elliott, and Jonathan Prohov offer compelling research that reminds govern- ment and military officials of the moral, legal, and ethical dimensions of protecting cultural antiquities from looting and illegal trafficking. Internationally, states generally agree on the importance of protecting antiquities, art, and cultural property not only for their historical and artistic importance, but also because such property holds economic, political, and social value for nations and their peoples. Protection is in the common interest because items or sites are linked to the common heritage of mankind. The authors make the point that a principle of international law asserts that cultural or natural elements of humanity’s common heritage should be protected from exploitation and held in trust for future generations. The conflicts in Afghanistan, and especially in Iraq and Syria, coupled with the rise of the Islamic State (IS), have brought renewed attention to the plight of cultural heritage in the Middle East and throughout the world.

DR HELEN RAE NOBLET BM BS FRACS FRCS Eng PAEDIATRIC SURGEONS 21 JANUARY 1933 - 25 DECEMBER 2020 Helen Noblett was a pioneering and innovative paediatric surgeon. She was born in Terowie, South Australia but brought up in Millmerran, Bell and latterly Roma, Queensland. She made an impression at Roma state school as a sporty, bright and hard-working scholar who won prizes and a scholarship to Medical School in Brisbane. She qualified in 1957 going into junior doctor hospital jobs at Brisbane General Hospital, proceeding to General Surgery training and then Paediatric Surgery in Brisbane Children’s Hospital under the late Des McGuckin in 1962. She was McGuckin’s first trainee. In 1963 she moved to the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria and continued her training as a Registrar under F.D. Stephens, E. Durham Smith and others. She was awarded her FRACS in 1964 and rose through the ranks to a senior position in 1972. She was the first female FRACS Paediatric Surgeon in Australia. During her time in Melbourne, she pursued research interests in gastrointestinal diseases in parallel with her clinical work, working with Ruth Bishop’s pioneering group, which was the first to describe Rotavirus in 1973. It was during this research that she invented a device for sampling ganglion cells in rats, which she later developed into the instrument for use in babies and children which bears her name to this day. Helen worked as a research fellow with Bill Clatworthy and Jim O’Neill at Columbus Children’s hospital in1967- 1968 and made a strong impression in the USA.

Monthly Performance Pack November 2010
1 Monthly Performance Pack November 2010 Sheryl Holland, Publicist, BBC iPlayer BBC Marketing, Communications & Audiences T. 020 8008 5294 | M. 07912 583654 | E. [email protected] Please refer to slide 6 for guide footnotes. 2 Monthly summary – November 2010 • In total BBC iPlayer received 141 million requests for TV and radio programmes in November, including both online platforms and devices and BBC iPlayer on Virgin Media TV. This was a month-on-month increase of 1%, with requests up 32% year-on-year, setting another new monthly record for the service. • Continuing autumn titles contributed to another record-breaking month for TV requests, with three episodes of The Apprentice topping the list. Comedy continued to perform well, in particular Russell Howard’s Good News and The Trip, while Merlin, Spooks and Lip Service contributed to a strong month for drama. • The Unbelievable Truth was the most requested radio programme, with The News Quiz and The Chris Moyles Show also popular. It was also a strong month for sport coverage on 5 Live with the football Premier League, and the Haye v Harrison boxing match. • Live TV viewing via the BBC iPlayer increased in November to make up 13% of all requests, boosted by Children In Need and sport coverage. Live radio also grew slightly. Consistent with previous months: • The profile of BBC iPlayer users is evening out over time in terms of male/female ratio, but remains strongly under-55 in terms of age, which is younger than the typical TV viewer or radio listener’s profile. • BBC iPlayer is used for TV at roughly the same time of day as linear TV viewing, although there is proportionally more daytime and late-peak use.
