# The Pat Kenny Show

The Pat Kenny Show is a televised talk show broadcast on Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) in the mid-1980s.

## Overview

Created to fill the vacant Saturday night slot after the departure of Gay Byrne's The Late Late Show from Saturday to Friday nights, The Pat Kenny Show was Pat Kenny's first attempt at presenting a talk show. Kenny had previously been more concerned with presenting current affairs output. The Pat Kenny Show was a failure, being replaced by Saturday Live, which was presented by a different presenter every week. Kenny was given another chance when he was asked to present one edition of Saturday Live. This time he proved to be a success and went on to become the regular presenter of a new show, Kenny Live.
Online on RTE Player in 2022 for 60 Years of television.

# Station Stones

The Station Stones are elements of the prehistoric monument of Stonehenge.
Originally there were four stones, resembling the four corners of a rectangle that straddles the inner sarsen circle, set just inside Stonehenge's surrounding bank. Two stood on earth mounds at opposing corners, one corner broadly in the north of the site and one in the south. The mounds are called the North and South barrows although they never contained burials. The ring ditches surrounding these barrows respect the presence of Stonehenge's encircling bank indicating that they postdate this feature.
The other two corners of the rectangle are occupied by the two surviving stones which are undressed sarsens. Their installation at the monument dates to sometime in Stonehenge phase 3, perhaps around 4,000 years ago.
Various astronomical alignments have been suggested for the stones, all involving other features at the site. As they cannot be said with certainty to have been contemporaneous with other stones or posts at Stonehenge, archaeoastronomical theories regarding their function have been treated with scepticism by mainstream archaeology. Although described as forming a rectangle, the two stones and the two stone settings can also be described as representing two opposite facets of an octagon. This suggests that they were laid out to a geometric plan and challenges the theory that the positions were astronomically determined.

# Osman Pasha Jaff

Osman Pasha Jaff, supreme ruler to the Jaff tribe, and an Ottoman ruler in the Mosul vilayet, that contributed to women's suffrage in the Middle East.
In 1888 and 1889, Sultan Abdul Hamid II had Osman replace his more violent brother, Mahmood Pasha Jaff, who was an insurrectionist. Osman Pasha Jaff proved himself to be such a worthy administrator that he received many medals and promotions by the Ottoman Sultan for his endeavors. Osman especially went after the many bandits who roamed the Mesopotamian region of the Ottoman Empire, and plunged the region into anarchy.
Osman Pasha Jaff is the father of Ahmed Mukhtar Jaff (احمد مختار جاف)one of the iconic patriots of Kurds and one of their legendary poets.
Osman and the Jaff tribe were found on both sides of the border as both Ottoman and Persian states trusted him for the security of the region. He was so satisfactory to the Shah of Persia that Iran awarded him in 1894 a sword as an honor.
Osman governed with his wife, Adela Khanem, who was a very skilled administrator to the point of him appointing her kadi of the city of Kalar, presiding over the judicial courts there. During his administration, he passed laws against rape. Adela Jaff was one of the few rulers that were women in the Ottoman Empire. She was even revered by the British because of her acts of mercy towards British captives, who were a part of the Mesopotamian invasion during World War I. They would ultimately give her the title Khan-Bahadur, and she would reign with the British far beyond the death of Osman Pasha Jaff in 1909.
