The Hollins

The Hollins (formerly known as The Hollins Technology College until 2017) is a coeducational secondary school located in Accrington in the English county of Lancashire. History In 2015, the school took part in a Channel 4 programme, Sex in Class, which saw sex therapist Goedele Liekens visit the school and give some very graphic sex education classes. She was aiming to improve the teaching of the subject, but the show, and the school's participation in it, proved controversial and divisive. Some, including local community leaders, strongly criticised it as inappropriate while others argued that it reflected what teenagers really do in terms of sexual activity. In 2015 and 2016, a group of pupils from the school took part in an art project called Beyond Labels: In Young Men’s Shoes, which saw a release of a book and film of their poetry. The project won the Young Artists Of the Year award from youth organisation SLYNCS. The school was also nominated for the Fusion Award in the Youth Leadership category. and was named Film of the Month for February 2017 by Into Film, which works with BAFTA. In 2016, the school was recognised for exceptional progress in GCSEs for the second consecutive year. Previously a community school administered by Lancashire County Council, in 2022 The Hollins converted to academy status. It is now sponsored by the LET Education Trust. The current headteacher is Samantha Haydock. References External links The Hollins official website

Cartwright Gardens

Cartwright Gardens est un jardin public et une rue en forme de croissant situés à Bloomsbury, dans le borough londonien de Camden. Les jardins sont initialement aménagés entre 1809 et 1811 dans le cadre du Skinners' Company Estate et portent alors le nom de Burton Crescent, d’après le promoteur James Burton. Le développement attire de nombreux habitants issus des milieux professionnels et de la classe moyenne, mais le caractère du quartier se modifie vers la fin du XIXe siècle, avec un nombre croissant de pensions de famille qui occupent les immeubles. En 1908, Burton Crescent prend le nom de Cartwright Gardens en l’honneur du réformateur politique et résident local John Cartwright. Une statue en bronze à son effigie, réalisée par George Clarke, est installée dans le jardin en 1831 ; elle repose sur un socle de granit portant des inscriptions relatives à l’action de Cartwright comme réformateur. Le parc est entouré de grilles de fer, planté de platanes adultes, et aménagé en pelouses traversées d’allées circulaires. Fait inhabituel, il comportent également plusieurs terrains de tennis accessibles aux résidents des immeubles et des hôtels environnants. La rue en croissant comporte plusieurs hôtels établis dans leurs bâtiments géorgiens d’origine. Le côté est des jardins est progressivement démoli durant la première moitié du XXe siècle. Canterbury Hall, un immeuble d’appartements de style art déco, y est construit dans les années 1930 ; il devient ensuite une résidence intercollégiale de l’université de Londres. Deux autres résidences universitaires de l’université de Londres viennent ensuite s’y ajouter : Commonwealth Hall dans les années 1950 et Hughes Parry Hall en 1969. Ces bâtiments sont remplacés par l’ensemble résidentiel Garden Halls entre 2014 et 2016, bien que la tour de Hughes Parry Hall subsiste. Meurtres au XIXe siècle À la fin du XIXe siècle, deux meurtres sont commis à Burton Crescent ; ils ne sont jamais élucidés. En décembre 1878, la veuve âgée Rachel Samuel est retrouvée morte dans sa cuisine au 4 Burton Crescent. Elle a été rouée de coups, et sa bague de mariage, quelques pièces de monnaie et ses bottines ont été dérobées. Une ancienne domestique, Mary Donovan, est arrêtée, mais les preuves manquent pour établir qu’elle est l’auteure du crime. En mars 1884, Annie Yates est retrouvée assassinée dans sa chambre, dans un bordel au 12 Burton Crescent. Elle a été battue et étranglée par un client, qui lui a également volé de l’argent et une bague. Le meurtrier n’est jamais identifié. Les deux immeubles où ces crimes sont commis se trouvent sur le côté est des jardins et sont démolis au cours du XXe siècle. Dans la culture populaire Dans le roman The Small House at Allington d’Anthony Trollope, Burton Crescent est le domicile du personnage John Eames. Le roman policier The Cartwright Gardens Murder Case de J. S. Fletcher se déroule dans la même rue.

Restless Beings

Restless Beings is a UK-based non-profitable, non-political, international grassroots human rights charity. Premise Restless Beings was founded by Rahima Begum and Mabrur Ahmed on 31 October 2007 and launched on 1 May 2008. It is an international grassroots human rights charity that aims to support marginalised communities that are deprived of media or public attention. Its focus has been to ensure most unheard, marginalised communities, silenced and forgotten communities are brought to the forefront and a global understanding of the problems they are experiencing and the roots of their struggle. The organisation is not affiliated with any political organisation and is run by an in-house team of volunteers made up of students and professionals. They have links and contacts with small NGO's across the world. Projects Restless Beings' projects are holistic in operation and work towards self-sufficiency. Their first project is working with the street children in Dhaka, Bangladesh who are exposed to drugs, trafficking, prostitution and poverty to provide them education, nutrition, accommodation, medical aid, vocational support and psychological counselling. Their second project in Kyrgyzstan, where they began a partnership with a women's rights organisation based in Bishkek to provide support to victims of ala kachuu (bride kidnapping), domestic violence and any other women's rights issues through a helpline and a crisis centre. Their third project is the human rights violations of the Rohingya refugees in Burma who are being ethnic cleansed and living with acts of abuse by the Burmese junta. Their fourth project is to combat prejudice and for the rights of Roma Gypsy travellers who are pushed to the sidelines across Europe. Their support for the persecuted Rohingya people in Burma as well as women's rights in Kyrgyzstan received particular praise and attention of the international media and world opinion.

New Era Estate

The New Era estate is a housing estate in Hoxton, in the London Borough of Hackney, part of East London. Approximately 100 families lived on the estate in 2015. The New Era Tenants' Association of estate residents had been involved in protests over the increase in rents proposed by its new landlord, the U.S.-based investment fund Westbrook Partners. After Russell Brand joined the protests in 2014, footage of his clash with a television reporter at a 10 Downing Street demonstration in Westminster went viral on YouTube, bringing the issue to greater public notice. A petition raised 350,000 signatures in support of the residents, and Hackney Council became involved in negotiations with Westbrook Partners. In December 2014, it was confirmed that the housing estate was to be sold to the affordable housing group Dolphin Living, a housing provider owned by the Dolphin Square Charitable Foundation.

Locke Park

Locke Park is a 47-acre (19-hectare) public open space and one of the largest outdoor green spaces in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, in South Yorkshire, England. In 1861, Phoebe Locke, widow of railway pioneer Joseph Locke donated the park for the benefit of the people of Barnsley. Phoebe gave the original 17 acres (6.9 hectares), and the layout was undertaken by Locke's business partner, John Edward Errington. The park was extended in 1874, when Phoebe Locke's sister, Sarah McCreery donated a further 21 acres (8.5 hectares) in memory of her sister, who had died in 1866. There were further donations and additions of land to bring the park up to its current 47 acres (19 hectares). The park is listed at Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England, being added in April 2001. Listed structures Sarah was also the instigator of Locke Park Tower, a 70 ft high monument built at the highest point of the park and designed by Richard Phené Spiers, a Paris-trained architect and Master of Architecture at the Royal Academy Schools, London. The Tower is a Grade II*listed building. The park contains a larger than life bronze statue of Locke, which was erected in 1866. The statue by sculptor Carlo Marochetti is Grade II listed. The final listed building within the park is the bandstand, which dates from 1908. The bandstand is constructed from eight cast-iron columns with a felt and lead roof. The structure is also Grade II listed. See also Listed buildings in Barnsley (Kingstone Ward) References Barnsley MBC: Locke Park
Telescopi d'una milla

El Telescopi d'una milla de l'Observatori de Radioastronomia Mullard (MRAO) és un conjunt de radiotelescopis (2 fixos i dos mòbils, amb reflectors parabòlics de 18 metres de diàmetre completament guiables que operen simultàniament a 1407 MHz i 408 MHz) dissenyats per efectuar interferometria de síntesi d'obertura. Història El telescopi d'una milla es completà el 1964 pel grup d'astrofísica de Cavendish de la Universitat de Cambridge. El telescopi s'usà per fer el catàleg de fonts de ràdio 5C. S'usaren observacions amb espais incrementals més gran per a l'observació de fonts de ràdio individuals amb una sensibilitat, una resolució angular i una qualitat d'imatge no aconseguida fins al moment. Aquesta investigació requerí un ús intensiu de les transformades de Fourier inverses, i fou possible gràcies al desenvolupament d'una nova generació d'ordinadors com l'ordinador Titan. Un dels plats del telescopi d'una milla s'usà temporalment per augmentar la resolució de MERLiN (llavors anomenat MTRLi) des del 1987 fins a la tardor del 1990. Innovacions tècniques El telescopi d'una milla, fou el primer a usar una síntesi d'obertura de rotació terrestre i el primer a donar mapes de ràdio amb una millor resolució que l'ull humà. El telescopi es fabricà a partir de plats de 120 tones, cada un amb un diàmetre de 18 metres. Dos plats eren fixos, mentre que el tercer es podia moure per uns rails al llarg de 800 metres a una velocitat de 6,4 km/h. Hi havia 60 estacions diferents al llarg de les vies, això és 0,9 cm i el final s'aixecava 5 cm per donar marge a la curvatura de la Terra sobre la seva longitud. Les freqüències d'observació normalment foren 408 MHz (75 cm; la resolució de 80 arcsec) i 1.4 GHz (21 cm; la resolució fou de 20 arcsec, tres vegades millor que la de l'ull humà). Descobriments Al llarg de 20 anys, el telescopi s'usà per mapar objectes individuals, i per fer alguns estudis de camp profund. Encara que actualment s'usa esporàdicament per a projectes universitaris o per astrònoms aficionats. Referències Enllaços externs Dues antenes del telescopi d'una milla al Google Maps
One-Mile Telescope

The One-Mile Telescope at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO), Cambridge, UK is an array of radio telescopes (two fixed and one moveable, fully steerable 60 ft-diameter (18 m) parabolic reflectors operating simultaneously at 1407 MHz and 408 MHz) designed to perform aperture synthesis interferometry. History The One Mile Telescope was completed by the Radio Astronomy Group of Cambridge University in 1964. The telescope was used to produce the 5C catalogue of radio sources. Observations with larger incremental spacings were used to observe individual radio sources with unprecedented sensitivity, angular resolution, and image quality. These surveys required intensive use of inverse Fourier transforms, and were made possible by development of a new generation of computers such as the Titan. In 1971, Sir Martin Ryle described why, in the late 1950s, radio astronomers at MRAO decided on the construction of the new One Mile telescope: "Our object was twofold. First we wanted to extend the range of our observations far back in time to the earliest days of the Universe, and this required a large increase in both sensitivity and resolution. With greater resolution we hoped that we might be able to draw radio maps of individual radio sources with sufficient detail to give some indication of the physical processes which brought them into being." One of the One Mile Telescope dishes was temporarily used to improve the resolution of MERLIN (then MTRLI) from 1987 until Autumn 1990. Technical innovations The One-Mile Telescope was the first telescope to use Earth-rotation aperture synthesis (described by Ryle as "super-synthesis") and the first to give radio maps with a resolution better than that of the human eye. The telescope was made up of three 120 ton dishes, each of which is 18 m in diameter. Two of the dishes are fixed, while the third can be moved along an 800 m-long (half mile) rail track, at speeds of up to 6.4 km/h. There were 60 different stations along the track, which is straight to within 0.9 cm, and whose far end was raised by 5 cm to allow for the curvature of the Earth over its length. The observing frequencies were usually 408 MHz (75 cm; the resolution was 80 arcsec) and 1.4 GHz (21 cm; the resolution was 20 arcsec, three times better than that of the unaided eye). Notable achievements Over a 20-year career, the telescope was used to map individual objects, and to do several deep field surveys. Though still occasionally used, it is now essentially retired (one of the dishes is occasionally used for undergraduate projects or by amateur radio astronomers). The construction of this telescope and development of the Earth-rotation aperture synthesis used when operating it contributed to Martin Ryle and Antony Hewish receiving the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974.
