# Peter Higgs

Peter Ware Higgs FRS FRSE (29 May 1929 – 8 April 2024) was a British theoretical physicist and an emeritus professor at the University of Edinburgh. He is best known for his 1960s proposal of broken symmetry in electroweak theory, explaining the origin of mass of elementary particles in general and of the W and Z bosons in particular. This so-called Higgs mechanism, which had several inventors besides Higgs, predicts the existence of a new particle, the Higgs boson (often described as "the most sought-after particle in modern physics").

## Quotes

* The model of a modern Prime Minister would be a kind of grotesque composite freak—someone with the dedication to duty of a Peel, the physical energy of a Gladstone, the detachment of a Salisbury, the brains of an Asquith, the balls of a Lloyd George, the word-power of a Churchill, the administrative gifts of an Attlee, the style of a Macmillan, the managerialism of a Heath, and the sleep requirements of a Thatcher.

# Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

Space Shuttle Challenger was a Space Shuttle orbiter launched by NASA on 28 January 1986. 73 seconds into Challenger's flight, the shuttle broke apart after the seals in the right rocket booster failed. Challenger exploded 14 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean. All seven crewmembers perished in the explosion.

## Quotes about the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

* It is our responsibility to find the direct and proximate causes of the accident, and to make recommendations on how to avoid such accidents in the future. Unfortunately we have found, as the proximate cause, very serious and extensive "flaws" in management. Not just a crack but a general disintegration. Our report lists them with our evidence for our view. This raises serious problems for our nation as to how to continue on with the space program.…It is our duty to supply … information as completely, accurately, and impartially as possible. We have laid out the facts and done it well. The large number of negative observations are a result of the appalling condition the NASA shuttle program has gotten into. It is unfortunate, but true, and we would do a disservice if we tried to be less than frank about it. The President needs to know if he is to make wise decisions.…At this rate [due to bureaucratic interference] we will never get down close enough to business to find out what happened. [T]omorrow at 6:15 we go by special airplane (two planes) to Kennedy Space Center to be "briefed." No doubt we shall wander about being shown everything—gee whiz—but no time to get into technical detail with anybody. Well it won’t work. If I am not satisfied by Friday I will stay over …. I am determined to do the job of finding out what happened ….My guess is that I will be allowed to do this overwhelmed with data and details, with the hope that so buried with all attention on technical details I can be occupied, so they have time to soften up dangerous witnesses etc. But it won’t work because (1) I do technical information exchange and understanding much faster than they imagine, and (2) I already smell certain rats that I will not forget because I just love the smell of rats for it is the spoor of exciting adventure.

# Nell McCafferty

Nell McCafferty (28 March 1944 – 21 August 2024) was an Irish journalist, playwright, civil rights campaigner and one of the founders of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement in 1970. She wrote for The Irish Press, The Irish Times, Sunday Tribune, Hot Press and The Village Voice. On 22 May 1971, along with over 40 other women, McCafferty was involved in the so-called "Contraceptive Train" episode, which travelled from Belfast in the North to Dublin, in an attempt to import prohibited "contraceptives" (in reality, mostly hundreds of packets of Aspirin painkillers) into the Irish Republic. It became an international embarrassment for the authorities; such an action potentially carried a prison sentence at the time.

## Quotes

* We were touching a raw nerve. Women in Ireland wanted contraception. I mean, six children on average. Or maybe more.
** Cited in an article by Anthea McTeirnan "The 'contraceptive train' spawns a musical", The Irish Times (21 September 2015)
** Published in connection with The Train, by Arthur Riordan and Bill Whelan (music), was staged at the Dublin Theatre Festival in 2015 and had short runs at the Abbey Theatre Dublin and The MAC Belfast in Spring 2017.
* It was massive that the crowd agreed with us because it was against the church. You just knew it resonated with women who thought "I needn’t get pregnant".
* It was never a condom train. We were never going to give control of our sexuality to men.
** Later comments (undated), as cited in "Nell McCafferty obituary: Irish journalist and rights campaigner", The Times (22 August 2024)

## About McCafferty

* Her passion and wrath was not scattergun – it had a laser-like focus on calling out inequality and injustice. She suffered no fools but had a kindness and warmth for many.
* As one of the women who took the train in 1971, she set in train an unstoppable wave for equality and a changing of Ireland for the better. That change has not yet reached its conclusion but it would be nowhere if it wasn't for warriors like Nell. In an Ireland trying to emerge from the shadows and find who it was, Nell McCafferty was one of the people who knew exactly who she was and wasn't afraid to enter every battle for gay and women's rights. We all owe her a great debt for this. Nell McCafferty left Ireland a much better place than she found it and she played her part with spirit and style.
** Simon Harris, Irish Taoiseach, as cited in "Irish journalist and feminist activist Nell McCafferty dies aged 80", Evening Standard (21 August 2024)
# Public policy

Public policy is an institutionalized proposal or a decided set of elements like laws, regulations, guidelines, and actions to solve or address relevant and real-world problems, guided by a conception and often implemented by programs. These policies govern and include various aspects of life such as education, health care, employment, finance, economics, transportation, and all over elements of society. The implementation of public policy is known as public administration. Public policy can be considered to be the sum of a government's direct and indirect activities and has been conceptualized in a variety of ways.

# Public participation

Public participation, also known as citizen participation or patient and public involvement, is the inclusion of the public in the activities of any organization or project. Public participation is similar to but more inclusive than stakeholder engagement. Generally public participation seeks and facilitates the involvement of those potentially affected by or interested in a decision. This can be in relation to individuals, governments, institutions, companies or any other entities that affect public interests.

## Quotes

* The modern anxiety about popular participation in political life has a long history, but has taken a distinctive form. Greek city-states were plagued by civil war between oligarchs and democrats; the last hundred years of the Roman Republic were marked by conflicts between populares and optimates, the (proclaimed) defenders of the interests of the people and the upper classes.

## Quotes

* God's mercy is a holy mercy, which knows how to pardon sin, not to protect it; it is a sanctuary for the penitent, not for the presumptuous.
** Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 273.
* He stands alone in unapproachable grandeur. Nineteen centuries roll away, and His character so lives that He inspires, millions of men with impassioned love. Other men may seem to be children of their surroundings; He became what He was despite His surroundings, and is the only one who can say in truth and holiness, "Do as I have done." He, the ideal, the perfect one of our race, appears in an age when such an ideal could not have been developed in act — could not have been conceived in thought. In the theory of development the perfection of humanity is the final result of man's history ages hence. Christ therefore is the great miracle which more than any other establishes the fact of miracles. Christ Himself is proof of His own miracles.

# Richard Rodney Bennett

Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, CBE (29 March 1936 – 24 December 2012) was an English composer.

## Quotes

* I meet amateur composers all the time who have music flooding through their heads, apparently, but they have no technical ability at all. They don’t actually have the faintest idea how to put it down on the page. These days you can actually get away with that, because you sort of mess around and track it, and all those things. But to my mind, that balance between the excitement of what is called inspiration or just simply a good idea, and the technical routine that goes into writing music down at all, is what makes a composer. You can’t have one without the other and be a complete composer. I can’t imagine how you could.
* Good music really adds something creative to the film, something which wasn’t there before, an element which wasn’t in the film before. You can be working with very distinguished directors and actors and designers and so on. I take film music very seriously, and every time I do a film, I insulate myself by saying, “This is good, and I’m going to do a good job.” If I went through the film music I do, the commercial work I do, thinking this is just awful and it’s to pay the bills, I would be ashamed of myself. I never have done that. I try and add something really good to each film I do, really the best I can do for that film, but it ain’t writing novels. It’s not a symphony; it’s applied music.
