Four Leeds University finalists had their Ash Road property burgled on two separate occasions by dogged thieves. Music student Ben Lee said: "In the first burglary they took literally anything they could get their hands on - the kettle, iron. wall units - even the spice rack. Luckily we all have insurance but that doesn't make it any better." Ben's insurance claim came through three we.ek.s S later, on the very day the house was targeted again.

  • Annual Report 2017 -2018
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS Firstly I have to thank the President, Steve Blackburn. Steve has done tremendous work over the year in travelling around clubs and representing the County. A truly approachable gentleman who has brought his own distinct sense of humour to the office. A lot of my Monday mornings have included a phone call from Steve starting with the phrase “I think I may have got away with it but……”. Needless to say the tales have me in stitches. As well as his Presidential duties he is an active member of the Disciplinary and Club & Community Committees which means he’s constantly on the go with his County missionary work. Steve has the huge support of his wife Val, who is also involved on the Mini & Junior committee. A couple entrenched in rugby and its administration, thank you both. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Hertfordshire whom we were runners up to in the final of the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire. Its an absolute joy to be involved in this side of County rugby and one which I look forward to each season.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • THE SPEAK – NEW SINGLE RELEASE 'FLOWERS (FOR JACKIE)' for More Information Please Contact: Barry Tomes +44 7966174319 Emai
    THE SPEAK – NEW SINGLE RELEASE ‘FLOWERS (FOR JACKIE)’ The Speak are a Power Pop Rock band from Brighton UK. This classic guitar, bass and drums line-up of The Speak are all about tasteful harmonies, catchy lyrics and thumping rhythms to deliver a blistering live show. They have supported Dodgy, Peter Hook and the Light and Chris Difford of Squeeze.​ Driven by singer-songwriter Nick Endacott, who’s father is a worldwide famous musician, ex-Cure member Matt Hartley on bass, and Violet Stow (tours with Adam Bomb and has played with The Yardbirds and The Damned) and Jonny Barnett (tours with Paul Draper of Mansun and has worked with Depeche Mode and Steven Wilson) on Drums. Nick wants people to respect his music and not his history, and does not want to trade on his fathers name. The Speak have been in the recording studio for many years and their new single due for release Friday 13th November, titled ‘Flowers (for Jackie)’ is set to be a sensational hit for the band. ​ The roots of The Speak are in 60’s influences, the golden age of British music. “But that’s the root, not our musical family tree,” Nick says. “So much was invented in the 60’s but there has been far more created since and we have absorbed and learned from every exciting idea there has been in the last six decades. That’s given us a platform from which we’ve launched The Speak and everything that’s unique about what we do.” ​ Nick has been the mastermind behind The Speak and he is passionate about his songwriting and defining the sound in the studio – which is constantly evolving.
