The Stanley Show
Introduction: The Stanley Show Stanley Matthews turned matter-of-factly, his stare fixed to avoid eye contact. His expression, washed of emotion, accentuated the slightly sunken, careworn look that made him appear at least as old as his thirty-two years. Time had already gone to work on his hair. It was combed back and still dark but was in the first stages of retreat. In close-up, something seemed to shadow his features, a sadness possibly pleated in the corners of his mouth. No one could have guessed that here was a man at the soaring peak of his powers who had just brought a packed arena to a ferment of excitement. As Matthews turned, gently hitching the elastic of his loose- fitting shorts on to his hips, the sellout crowd of 75,000 at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels had started to applaud. Moments earlier, England’s outside-right had completed a run that even by his standards was exceptional, bewildering Belgium’s defence and electrifying the spectators. And that was not the end of this particular piece by Matthews on a pitch made treacherous by a violent cloudburst soon after kick-off. Having wrought havoc with the ball on the turf, he dipped his head, cocked his right boot and lifted the ball over the oncoming keeper. One reporter likened it to a golf shot, Matthews seizing a wedge and lofting The Wizard pages.indd 1 23/01/2014 11:15 2 jon henderson the ball in a meticulous arc. All that was left for Tom Finney to do to collect his second goal of the match was to deflect his header into an unguarded net. -

View the Text of Geoff Maitland's Presidential Address
1 Chemical engineering matters everywhere - reflections on a journey from academe to industry, and back again Institution of Chemical Engineers Presidential Address, May 28th 2014 Professor Geoffrey Maitland FREng FIChemE 1. Introduction How did I come to be standing here? I think it was John Lennon who once observed that life is what happens when you are planning something else – I know exactly what he was talking about. For the last nine years I have been professor of energy engineering at Imperial College London, carrying out research with my students and colleagues, many of whom are here tonight, on a variety of topics right across the energy landscape, from clean fossil fuels to green algae as a source of renewable hydrogen. To explain how I came to this life of engineering and to be working on what I consider to be probably the most important challenge facing the world in this 21st Century, I want to take you all on a journey, which began in Stoke-on-Trent in the 1940’s, and tell you about some of the doors that opened up along the way. And I want to use this journey to comment on some of the challenges and opportunities for chemical engineers today and what I would like to achieve for the Institution and our profession as your President. 2. Early beginnings… a first taste of Engineering As Dylan Thomas said, “To begin at the beginning…” I was born in Stoke, the Potteries, so you will not be surprised to learn that my father worked in the pottery industry, at a company called Podmore and Sons. -
La Nueva Vieja Escuela Tony Pulis
CLUBPERARNAU P 44 TONY PULIS LA NUEVA VIEJA ESCUELA Agustín Galán La figura de Tony Pulis es una de las más veneradas dentro de la Premier League actual. Su apariencia y sus maneras de la vieja escuela lo llevan siempre a banquillos en los que la prioridad es la permanencia y los presupuestos son tan ajustados que no parecen pertenecer a la competición en la que se baten récords de traspasos cada verano. Con todas estas limitaciones externas, el galés se ha convertido en un especialista en sacar jugo a sus plantillas, como se ha vuelto a demostrar una vez más con un destacado West Brom, que terminó el curso 2016-17 en una desahogada décima posición.

To answer that question you can use data on immunization rates in various countries in various years. The World Bank collects such information, and a lot more, on each country for multiple years that is free to download. But how should you store, organize and use the data to have all relevant information in an accessible format that lends itself to meaningful analysis? I You want to know, who has been the best manager (as coaches are sometimes called in football) in the top English football league. To investigate this question, you have downloaded data on football games played in a professional league, and data on managers including which team they worked at and when. To answer your question you need to combine this data. How should you do that? And are there issues with the data that you need to address? 2 / 45 Variable types Data wrangling: tidy approach Data wrangling: cleaning Practical data management Topics for today: Organizing, structuring, cleaning data (Data plumbing) Topics for today Variable types Data wrangling: tidy approach Data wrangling: cleaning Practical data management 3 / 45 Variable types Data wrangling: tidy approach Data wrangling: cleaning Practical data management Variable types: Qualitative vs quantitative I Data can be born (collected, generated) in different form, and our variables may capture the quality or the quantity of a phenomenon.

Book of Remembrance for Those Who Died in the Solway Within the Area of Annan
BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE FOR THOSE WHO DIED IN THE SOLWAY WITHIN THE AREA OF ANNAN compiled by Clive Bonner edited for website by Robert Mitchell 2019 Profits from the sale of this book to Annan United Reformed Church and Annandale Churches Together for their work in the community of Annan. © Clive Bonner 2009 ISBN 9781 899316540 1 Explanation This work of Remembrance has grown from a suggestion, made by a person who lost his own father to the Solway, that the Annan fishermen who died while fishing in the Solway should have a memorial in Annan. He felt it fitting that the memorial should be in that building he knew as the 'fisherman's church', that is the Annan United Reformed Church, which was from the 1890's to 2000 the Congregational Church. With the backing of the congregation of the Annan United Reformed Church and the members of Annandale Churches Together I undertook to do the research required to bring the memorial into being. A small group of people drawn from all the interested denominations within Annan was formed and at its only meeting was tasked with providing the names of fishermen who fitted the criterion to be included on the memorial. The criterion was to limit the memorial to those who sailed from Annan or were resident in Annan at the time of their loss. Using this information, I researched in the local and national newspapers to find the reports telling the known facts, obtained from people present at the time of the tragedies. I have transcribed the reports from either the original newspapers or microfiche and have only added detail to correct factual inaccuracies using information from death certificates and family when supplied.
