  • Scuba Diving History
    Scuba diving history Scuba history from a diving bell developed by Guglielmo de Loreno in 1535 up to John Bennett’s dive in the Philippines to amazing 308 meter in 2001 and much more… Humans have been diving since man was required to collect food from the sea. The need for air and protection under water was obvious. Let us find out how mankind conquered the sea in the quest to discover the beauty of the under water world. 1535 – A diving bell was developed by Guglielmo de Loreno. 1650 – Guericke developed the first air pump. 1667 – Robert Boyle observes the decompression sickness or “the bends”. After decompression of a snake he noticed gas bubbles in the eyes of a snake. 1691 – Another diving bell a weighted barrels, connected with an air pipe to the surface, was patented by Edmund Halley. 1715 – John Lethbridge built an underwater cylinder that was supplied via an air pipe from the surface with compressed air. To prevent the water from entering the cylinder, greased leather connections were integrated at the cylinder for the operators arms. 1776 – The first submarine was used for a military attack. 1826 – Charles Anthony and John Deane patented a helmet for fire fighters. This helmet was used for diving too. This first version was not fitted to the diving suit. The helmet was attached to the body of the diver with straps and air was supplied from the surfa 1837 – Augustus Siebe sealed the diving helmet of the Deane brothers’ to a watertight diving suit and became the standard for many dive expeditions.

  • Happy Plant Publication
    FREE Gift and Garden Centre welcome to Once upon a time (1984 to be precise) in the Buchan village of Mintlaw, 1 mile from Aden Country Park and less than 1/2 hours drive from Aberdeen, a seed was planted named The Happy Plant Garden Centre. Over the years it has grown to become a flourishing business renowned for its quality products and service. Life began as a little wooden shed in a ‘boggy howe,’ but 35 years on it is one of the largest gift and garden centres in the north east of Scotland and has achieved a four-star rating from the Scottish Tourist Board. The site now covers approximately four acres, including a large car park and has over 60 friendly and helpful employees on the payroll, many of them long-term members of staff who have ‘grown up’ with the business. To accommodate the large number of customers, we have ample parking for cars and coaches, as well as disabled parking spaces close to the gift and garden centre entrance. The business has been set up to offer the garden enthusiast everything they could possibly desire from plants to compost, fertilisers to garden furniture, garden lighting to outdoor ornaments. If you are not sure what to do with your garden and you are after inspiration, then visit Happy Plant Garden Centre. You will find us welcoming, friendly and only too willing to help. A long-awaited coffee shop was added in 2005 and extended to meet demand a few years later. The range of goods for sale has also changed over the years with hundreds of suppliers from plants to pet supplies, clothes to food as well as an amazing selection of gifts and homeware.

  • Can Read a Copy of It Here
    The Society of Advocates in Aberdeen Aberdeen University Review Aberdeen University Review, LVI, no. 195, Spring 1996 THE SOCIETY OF ADVOCATES IN ABERDEEN By Dorothea Bruce As Executive Secretary and Librarian to The Society of Advocates in Aberdeen I often have to conduct visitors round Advocates' Hall and exhibit some of the Society's treasures. After they have overcome their initial surprise at finding such a handsome building tucked away in Concert Court, which is only a back alley, visitors usually want to know why and when the Society was founded, and why its members are set apart from the other solicitors in Scotland by being dignified by the title 'advocate'. No date of its actual foundation can be determined, original records having been lost in a fire at the Record Office in Castle Street in 1721, but one must assume that the Society grew out of the natural expression of the desire of members of any profession to incorporate themselves for the purpose of mutual assistance and the exchange of professional expertise. As to why the members call themselves 'advocates', William Kennedy, in his Annals of Aberdeen published in 1818, states that 'the practitioners before the courts of adjudicature (in Aberdeen) have for a period of upwards of two hundred and fifty years, been distinguished by the title of advocates, which appeared to be sanctioned by many public deeds, and by judicial proceedings in the courts of record: but by what authority it had originally been conferred upon them we have not been informed.'1 (See also Appendix I) The most convincing theory in explanation of our members' right to the term 'advocate' appears in Scottish Notes and Queries and is attributed to an unnamed 'learned friend, a recognized authority on such matters.' It is suggested that before the institution of the College of Justice by James V, in 1532, Edinburgh was the seat of the great Ecclesiastical Court of the Archdeacon of the Lothians, and those who practised there were Advocates.

  • Aberdeen History Trail the City Through Its Historical Times
    Aberdeen History Trail The city through its historical times #aberdeentrails #aberdeentrails Aberdeen is bursting full of history! From its ancient origins to medieval burghs and King Robert The Bruce, from the Jacobite connections to the expansion in the Edwardian and Victorian times, the ‘Silver City by the Golden Sands’ has a long, important, and interesting history with many of its people contributing to the wider world. The city started out as three separate royal burghs – Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen and Torry plus the parish of Woodside – which expanded and merged together to form the city as a whole. There was a major expansion in the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras as the city made its first fortunes based on fishing, granite quarrying and shipbuilding and many of the grand buildings were built during these times. It also included the main thoroughfare, Union Street, which was raised up away from the mud and dirt and built on a series of bridges – it was such a major project it almost bankrupted the city! Enjoy exploring our beautiful city and finding out about its history!

  • Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center
    Testimony of Lecia Brooks Chief of Staff, Southern Poverty Law Center before the Subcommittee on National Security, International Development and Monetary Policy Committee on Financial Services United States House of Representatives Dollars against Democracy: Domestic Terrorist Financing in the Aftermath of Insurrection February 25, 2021 My name is Lecia Brooks. I am chief of staff of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Now in our 50th year, the SPLC is a catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people. SPLC lawyers have worked to shut down some of the nation’s most violent white supremacist groups by winning crushing, multimillion-dollar jury verdicts on behalf of their victims. We have helped dismantle vestiges of Jim Crow, reformed juvenile justice practices, shattered barriers to equality for women, children, the LGBTQ+ community, and the disabled, and worked to protect low-wage immigrant workers from exploitation. The SPLC began tracking white supremacist activity in the 1980s, during a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and other organized extremist hate groups. Today, the SPLC is the premier U.S. nonprofit organization monitoring the activities of domestic hate groups and other extremists. In the early 1990s, the SPLC launched its pioneering Teaching Tolerance program to provide educators with free, anti-bias classroom resources, such as classroom documentaries and lesson plans. Now renamed Learning For Justice, our program reaches millions of schoolchildren with award-winning curricula and other materials that promote understanding of our nation’s history and respect for others, helping educators create inclusive, equitable school environments.
