The Portfolio Signed November 2018 The Portfolio Issue 11 SPM11 Signed INVENTOR OF THE CHRISTMAS CARD Lovely letter and envelope from 1874 signed by Victorian Henry Cole. To just say he invented the Christmas Card does him a disservice, as he was assistant to Rowland Hill. He was also Manager of the Great Exhibition, which then led to the South Kensington Museums, which is who the letter and envelope are addressed to. SGC195 £495 £55 per month for 9 months ROWLAND HILL Sir Rowland Hill, KCB, FRS (1795 - 1879) was an English teacher, inventor and social reformer. He campaigned for a comprehensive reform of the postal system, based on the concept of Uniform Penny Post. Hill later served as a government postal official, and he is credited with originating the basic concepts of the modern postal service, including the invention of the postage stamp. For the inventor of the postage stamp, it is ironic then that this envelope front should have the Postage Paid cachet, rather than a postage stamp. Even more ironic is that the Free Frank date is 1859, considerably later than the Penny Post, which was introduced partly to stop the abuse of the Free Franks!

  • A M D G Beaumont Union Review Spring 2017
    A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW SPRING 2017 No, I am not getting political when I mention those that come to this Country from Overseas: I was thinking of education. Today our schools are used to having students from abroad and in many instances the private sector depend upon them for their income. Beaumont was probably the only school founded in the 19th century specifically to take advantage of the Diplomatic Corps and others posted to London. It could be said that Beaumont was a hundred years in advance of the International School. There are always those that say it doesn’t reflect well on an establishment that it cannot find its students among its own, indeed talking with a fellow parishioner whose father had taken one look at the Beaumont lists and had informed the Rector that his son was not going to be educated with a “bunch of ruddy foreigners” and packed him off to Ampleforth”; his loss. Those that sent their sons from the Americas, Australasia, India, the Far East or Continental Europe sought a Catholic and English Public School education and we “home grown” benefited from their culture and friendships made over the generations. It set Beaumont apart and is reflected on the War Memorial and why our visit to Verdun is not just a Battlefield tour but a homage to so many French and later Americans that fought there. NOTICES 2017 and we mark the 50th anniversary of Beaumont’s closure. I also note that in July of 1967 the Government announced the closure of our military bases in Malaysia and Singapore, British Steel was nationalised, homosexuality decriminalised, and the Queen Mary made her last trans-Atlantic voyage.

  • United Kingdom
    UNITED KINGDOM Terence Taylor TERRORISM COMES IN MANY different forms. Britain’s experience of terrorism has been mainly domestic and overseas terrorism asso- ciated with independence movements in the dying days of empire. In view of this experience, this essay focuses mainly on “Irish ter- rorism,” although it does address the British approach to, and ex- perience with, modern international terrorism and seeks to con- trast the two in an analysis of the lessons that can be learned. The experience of independence-related terrorism is largely ignored. NATIONAL STRUCTURES Legislation and Definitions Britain’s counterterrorism legislation has evolved in response to the perceived threat of terrorism, as seen in the context of pre- vailing views on how acts of terrorism should be considered and the existing governmental structures used for dealing with those types of acts. The principal perceived threat was Irish Republicanism. 187 188 Indeed, it was only in the wake of the 1974 Birmingham bombing • that the Prevention of Terrorism Act was drafted to supplement the COMBATING 1920 Emergency Powers Act (Northern Ireland). Later international TERRORISM terrorism was added to the list of perceived threats, but until 2000 (non-Irish) domestic terrorism was specifically excluded. Thus, ter- rorism was defined as either Irish or international terrorism. The law allowed for no other domestic terrorism. The prevailing view at the time of the 1974 Prevention of Terror- ism Act was that terrorism is a criminal, not a political, act. This view persisted until 2001. The principal governmental structures for dealing with criminal acts are the United Kingdom’s fifty or so police forces and the criminal justice system.

Introduction Welcome to the eighth edition of The Date-A-Base Book! As always, every entry has been cross-checked in Encyclopaedia Britannica and on official websites and other sources. This is not an easy process as there’s an awful lot of “disinformation” out there, and it’s definitely getting worse. Whenever there was doubt – which there frequently was – we’ve tried to go back to the original source. Even so, we advise you to double-check each date before using it, and satisfy yourself that it is 100% correct. If you come across any mistakes please let us know. We’ll post any corrections we hear about on the official ideas4writers blog: http://ideas4writers.wordpress.com As far as possible we’ve used New Style (NS) dates from the Gregorian calendar. Celebrities are notorious for knocking a few years off their ages. Wherever possible we’ve given both their real and claimed dates of birth, and noted which is which. Similarly, they don’t always go by their real names, so we’ve used the names by which they are most commonly known.

First, the number of international terrorist incidents increased 22 percent, from 456 in 1990 to 557 last year. This increase is solely attributable to terrorism associated with the Persian Gulf war. Second, 1991 was the second straight year in which there was no terrorist spectacular. Third, 1991 clearly demonstrated the role of state sponsorship in international terrorism. A central part of US Government counterterrorism policy is to press countries that sponsor terrorism to cease such support. This is what the international community did last year with great success against Iraq when Saddam Hussein threatened the world with a wave of ter- rorism following his invasion of Kuwait. The threat failed in large part because of the firm re- sponse by the United States and its allies and cooperation among them. The expulsion of Iraqi operatives, cooperation among law enforcement and intelligence services, and enhanced security countermeasures proved effective. In April the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 687 requiring a commitment from Iraq not to engage in acts of terrorism or support terrorist groups. Another part of US counterterrorism policy is to work with other governments to identify, apprehend, and prosecute terrorists.
