In issuing the present Edition of the Greenock Directory, the Publishers offer their best thanks to their numerous Subscribers for their very extensive patronage. Its appearance has been delayed beyond the time intended, in consequence of the alterations that have recently taken place in the re-numbering of the houses. This delay, however, has afforded them an opportunity of bestowing on it that labour and attention so essential to the perfecting of a work of this descrip- tion: and they trust that, on perusal, it will be found as free from errors as any of its predecessors.

    Prorogation: How Can the Government Suspend Parliament?

    Little Mix's Jesy Nelson: Online trolls made me want to die In a new BBC Three documentary, the singer reveals how online bullying affected her mental health In a new BBC Three documentary, Jesy Nelson: 'Odd One Out', the singer, 28, says that comments about her appearance made her so unhappy she “just wanted to die”. In a candid and tearful moment, Jesy recalls how she took an overdose after taunts about her looks became too much to bear. Jesy and her bandmates won the reality show in 2011, instantly taking them from complete unknowns to celebrities. In the documentary, the singer also explores how the trolling affected her mum, her sister, her bandmates and her relationships – and meets ordinary people who tell Jesy their stories of being bullied online. How much of an issue is trolling? The bullying began almost immediately after Jesy appeared on TV in the X Factor. She was put into the girl group alongside Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. When Little Mix were announced as that year’s winners, Jesy says they were all “on cloud nine”. But just hours after winning the show, her excitement was tainted by trolling. “I had about 101 Facebook messages in my inbox, and the first one that came up was from some random man, saying: ‘You are the ugliest thing I’ve seen in my life, you do not deserve to be in this girl band. You deserve to die’.” It was a devastating blow to Jesy who, up until the barrage of insults and hate started during her time on X Factor, hadn’t had any problems with her body image.

    Newsletter No.6

    Newsletter No.6 Stuart McMillan MSP Greenock and Inverclyde Constituency Serving Port Glasgow, Greenock, Gourock, Wemyss Bay and Inverkip Hello and welcome to my latest newsletter. It has been a very eventful few months with both the Council elections and the recent General Election. The rules of Purdah mean that I have had to refrain from sending out my monthly newsletter as normal. First of all, I’d like to congratulate Ronnie Cowan on his successful re-election as MP for Inverclyde. Ronnie has been a hard working MP and has set off on a project to help deliver social and economic opportunities locally. This is a project that I am sure he can complete with another 5 years at the helm. I look forward to working with him to ensure that happens. I would also like to congratulate all of our recently elected councillors, including those who are new to their prospective roles. I look forward to working with them all over the coming years. I was delighted to pledge my support for the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) Campaign. The Scottish Government have campaigned tirelessly for a better deal for our older people – including by supporting the excellent WASPI campaign. In the Scottish Parliament, we have protected and invested in vital social policies like free personal care for the elderly and will protect the Winter Fuel Payment. The Scottish Government will continue to fully support the WASPI campaign in their efforts to secure fairness for the millions of women affected. Health Secretary Confirms No Cuts to ITU at IRH The Greenock Telegraph recently reported that employees and consultants have been informally told that the Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU) which caters for patients at the IRH who need intensive treatment after an operation, will close in January.

This was primarily due to its strategic importance as the northern gateway into the Hebrides to the west, and Caithness and Sutherland to the north. The power derived from the earldom’s strategic situation was enhanced by the status of its earls. From 1215 to 1372 the earldom was ruled by an uninterrupted MacTaggart comital dynasty which was able to capitalise on this longevity to establish itself as an indispensable authority in Scotland north of the Forth.

    The Vikings in Scotland and Ireland in the Ninth Century

    THE VIKINGS IN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND IN THE NINTH CENTURY - DONNCHADH Ó CORRÁIN 1998 ABSTRACT: This study attempts to provide a new framework for ninth-century Irish and Scottish history. Viking Scotland, known as Lothlend, Laithlinn, Lochlainn and comprising the Northern and Western Isles and parts of the mainland, especia lly Caithness, Sutherland and Inverness, was settled by Norwegian Vikings in the early ninth century. By the mid-century it was ruled by an effective royal dyna sty that was not connected to Norwegian Vestfold. In the second half of the cent ury it made Dublin its headquarters, engaged in warfare with Irish kings, contro lled most Viking activity in Ireland, and imposed its overlordship and its tribu te on Pictland and Strathclyde. When expelled from Dublin in 902 it returned to Scotland and from there it conquered York and re-founded the kingdom of Dublin i n 917.

In this lecture,1 I propose to reconsider the Viking attack on Scotland and I reland and I argue that the most plausible and economical interpretation of the historical record is as follows. A substantial part of Scotlandthe Northern and W estern Isles and large areas of the coastal mainland from Caithness and Sutherla nd to Argylewas conquered by the Vikings2 in the first quarter of the ninth centu ry and a Viking kingdom was set up there earlier than the middle of the century.

    1816.] REGISTER OF OFFICERS OF THE UNITED STATES. 307 JANUARYn 9, 1816. With every expedient of economy that I find possible, I am living at an expense which, at the end of two years from my arrival in this country, would more than absorb the whole salary for those two yeaLs, even with tile allow- ance for the outfit. A very few years' residence here must involve my own affairs beyond all power of redemption. Extracts of a letterfrom Mr. Adams to thte Secretary of State, dated JANUARY 4, 1816. It is very desirable that some general revision of the consular establishments should be made, and some regular system concerning them be sanctioned by law. For the port of London a provision for the compensation of the consul must be made, or the office must be given to some wealthy merchant established in the city, to whom it may be acceptable for the facilities of business which le may derive from it. Colonel Aspinwall cannot hold it long without a salary, or without forming a commercial establishment connected with it, and upon which alone he must rely for support. In one of his late letters to me, (a copy of which has been transmitted to you,) Mr. Beasley expresses the convic- tion that the provision made by the laws of the United States for the relief of indigent and destitute seamen in foreign ports is liable to great abuse. The late and present excessive numbers of persons claiming the benefit of it, both at London and Liverpool, afford confirmations of that opinion; but, on the other hand, it is obvious that, with the increase of our commerce and navigation, the casualties incident to them must have proportionably multiplied.
