  • Monte Spinale
    ACCESSIBLE VIEWPOINT - MOUNT SPINALE gruppobrenta.it © description UNESCO Dolomites system Brenta Dolomites mountain group(s) Brenta UNESCO values Landscape: the Dolomites are the universal archetype for a specific mountain landscape that takes its name, “Dolomite landscape”, from these very mountains. A number of key features define this particular landscape. Firstly the extremely complex topography, distinctive for the mountain ranges that, while separate, are juxtaposed in a particularly contained setting. Secondly, the uncommon variety of shapes, both vertical (cliffs, needles, spires, pinnacles, towers and jagged peaks) and horizontal (ledges, roofs, overhangs, crags, plateaux and high plains). First and foremost however, the Dolomites are famous for their exceptional varieties of colour and the extraordinary contrast between the soft lines of the pasturelands and the sudden vertical thrust of the stark, bare mountain peaks. The remarkable mountain landscape that we see today has changed very little since it formed millions of years ago. The unmistakable, familiar shapes of the Dolomite peaks are none other than the atolls and coral reefs of those ancient times, while the Alpine passes and inhabited valleys we see today correspond to the deep stretches of sea which originally separated them. This is the only example in the world of a fossil landscape that is as recognisable as this, a tropical archipelago that has transformed into extraordinary towering mountains. Geology: The Dolomites are one of the best conserved examples in the world of fossil reefs and tropical environments of the Mesozoic era. They preserve fossil evidence of the organisms which were instrumental in their formation around 250 million years ago.

  • Smythe-Wood Series A
    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • Barometer on Pilot Fatigue Brings Together Several Surveys on Pilot Fatigue Carried out by Member Associations of the European Cockpit Association
    Pilot fatigue Barometer 1 Introduction Pilot fatigue Over the last few years, fatigue among pilots and cabin crew has become a genuine concern in the aviation world. Despite scientific studies showing that fatigue could jeopardise the safety of air operations, data about the prevalence of fatigue across Europe is scarce. With estimates of an approximate doubling of air traffic by 2020, quantifying this phenomenon becomes of major importance for the aviation world. Following the example of the Norwegian public service broadcaster, NRK, which revealed very high levels of fatigue, ECA Member Associations have taken up the challenge of surveying thousands of pilots across Europe. The intention of this Barometer is to take stock of the prevalence of fatigue in Europe’s cockpits by looking into fatigue polls, conducted by ECA members. This publication comes at a time when the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has published a final proposal for Flight and Duty Time Regulations and the European Commission is to approve or amend it. We hope that the data compiled will serve as useful input for the related decision-making process. 2 © Andreas Tittelbach pilot fatigue Executive summary The 2012 Barometer on Pilot Fatigue brings together several surveys on pilot fatigue carried out by Member Associations of the European Cockpit Association. Between 2010 and 2012, more than 6.000 European pilots have been asked to self-assess the level of fatigue they are experiencing. The surveys confirm that pilot fatigue is common, dangerous and an under-reported phenomenon in Europe. • Over 50% of surveyed pilots experience fatigue as impairing their ability to perform well while on flight duty.

Quakers leave either because they are 'de-convinced' or because, in a group which places emphasis on continuing revela­ tion, they are grieving the loss of what has passed before. A third type resigns because they feel the group is too slow to support new revelation.

  • Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012
    Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012 JAMES WILLIAM CROAN CHADKIRK A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Theology, Philosophy and Religion Centre for Postgraduate Quaker Studies The University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract During the 1850s there was rising concern in the Society of Friends about declining membership. From the 1840s attempts were made to obtain hard statistics on adherence and in the late 20th century another decline again reduced numbers to the level of the 1850s and 1860s. This thesis reviews and analyses data from the middle of the 19th century to 2012, illuminating variation in both membership and participation in church worship and governance. It presents new data on participation in meeting for worship and provides geographical and socio- metric data on the origins of enquiries about Quakerism, providing both a research tool for further work by bringing large volumes of information together and illuminating the ways in which the size and the social structure of the Society of Friends has varied with time.
