Science at Abbott Primary School:
Science will play a key part of the curriculum through your child’s entire school career. At Abbott primary school we work hard to develop your child’s scientific knowledge and understanding. Each year group has a timetable slot for science which allows the recommended time given for teaching science for each year group. At Abbott Primary school we follow the Learning Challenge Curriculum for Science combined with the 100 lessons Frameworks and adapt these to meet the needs of our pupils.
Children at Abbott Primary School are first introduced to science in the Foundation stage where it is called Knowledge and understanding of the world. Your child will learn to explore, problem solve, observe, predict, think, make decisions and talk about the world around them.
Children explore creatures, people, plants and objects in their natural environments. They observe and manipulate objects and materials to identify differences and similarities. Children also learn to use their senses, feeling dough or listening to sounds in the environment, such as sirens or farm animals.
Children are encouraged to ask questions about why things happen and how things work. Your child will also be asked questions about what they think will happen to help them communicate, plan, investigate, record and evaluate findings. They will also learn to recognise changes that happen to the body when they are active. Children will also learn about the importance of keeping healthy and the things that contribute to this.
Science at Key Stage 1
Throughout Key Stage 1 science lessons, children at Abbott Primary will be learning about the importance of asking questions, gathering evidence, carrying out experiments and looking at different ways of presenting their results. Lessons are practical and will focus on the world around them.
Under the new 2014 National Curriculum children in Year 1 will cover the following topics
Plants where they will look at identifying and naming plants and look at their basic structure
Animals including humans, where they will be identifying and naming a range of animals and understanding how and why they are grouped
Everyday materials, where they will look at materials and their properties
Seasonal changes, where they observe changes across the four seasons and look at different types of weather
Living things and their habitats, including dependence within habitats and micro-habitats
Plants, where they will be observing how seeds and bulbs grow into plants and what plants need to stay healthy
Animals including humans, where they will be focusing on reproduction, nutrition and exercise
Everyday materials, Where they will be comparing their uses and looking at how they can be changed by exerting force
In Lower Key Stage 2 children are encouraged to ask questions about scientific concepts and then carry out experiments to find out the answers. As children enter Upper Key Stage 2 children will continue to practise these skills but with more depth and precision.
In Lower key stage 2 children learn what a 'fair test' is, they begin to take measurements from a range of equipment, Children begin to gather and record data and report their findings orally and in writing. Children are taught to understand what variables are and how to control them. In Upper Key Stage 2 children are given opportunities to take measurements from a range of equipment, understanding the need for repeated measures to increase accuracy. Children begin to gather and record data using labels, classification keys, tables, scatter graphs, bar and line graphs. Children use test results to make further predictions to set up further comparative and fair tests. Children make conclusions on the test carried out, orally and in writing.
Plants including parts of plants, needs of plants and their lifecycle.
Animals including humans, focusing on nutrition, skeletons and muscles
Rocks, iincluding comparing rocks, looking at fossils and understanding how soil is made
Light, looking at how light is reflected, how shadows are formed and can change.
Forces and magnets, focusing on attraction and repulsion of magnets, magnetic materials and the two poles of a magnet.
Living things and their habitats, including classifying living things and looking at changes to environments.
Animals, including humans, focusing on eating: teeth, the digestive system and food chains.
States of matter, including grouping materials, changing state, evaporation and condensation.
Sound, looking at creation of sound through vibration and changes in pitch and volume.
Electricity, including constructing a circuit and understanding conductors and insulators.
Living things and their habitats, including life cycles of a mammal, amphibian, insect and bird.
Animals, including humans, focusing on changes from birth to old age.
Properties and changes of materials, including dissolving, separating and reversible changes.
Earth and space, looking at the movement of the sun, earth and moon.
Forces, including gravity, air resistance, water resistance and friction.
Living things and their habitats, including classifying micro-organisms, plants and animals.
Animals, including humans, focusing mainly on diet and exercise.
Evolution and inheritance, looking at fossils, reproduction and adaptation.
Light, looking closely at how it travels and how shadows are made.
Electricity, analysing the function of lamps, buzzers, cells and switches.
At Abbott Primary school we work hard to bring the awe and wonder to learning and we feel that we can do this strongly through well planned, practical lessons. Children are given lots of opportunities to develop their scientific skills as well explore and investigate.

My Favourite Films (1/14) - Comedy
Favourite Comedy Film - Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Gilliam/Jones, 1975)
“It’s just a flesh wound.”
“We are the knights who say ‘NI’”
“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.”
Those lines, and a whole host more, are why ‘Monty Pyth
on and the Holy Grail’ is my all time favourite comedy film. From those lines I can picture entire scenes and at a bit of a push quote large sections of the film. No film makes me laugh as much or as often as ‘The Holy Grail’ still does, despite more viewings than I can remember.
The work of Cleese, Palin, Chapman, Gilliam, Idle and Jones has provided us with some of the greatest British comedy in history and most people will have a favourite scene or sketch from either one of their films or their TV shows, from the genius of the Inquisition sketch to the slapstick comedy of the Ministry of Silly Walks, via the final scene of ‘Life of Brian’ with its distinctive whistled tune.
They’re comic gold throughout but for me the 91 minutes of the ‘Holy Grail’ was the pinnacle of their work; it’s rare for more than a minute or two to pass before the next perfect joke hits home, and some of the arguments between characters are so ludicrously bizarre that you wonder what kind of state you have to be in to come up with them (the two rabbit related scenes are prime examples of that).
For a comedy that’s now 26 years old it has an incredibly timeless quality, perhaps because it focuses on one of the nation’s favourite myths; that of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. In the film they’re sent on a mission by a rather fed up god to find the Holy Grail but in the process end up arguing repeatedly with a set of preposterous French knights, devoting more time than any other comedy film I can think of too discussing the flight capabilities of swallows and engaging in several incredibly ill-judged battles.
One battle which does go a little more to plan offers arguably the funniest individual scene in the film, the fight with the Black Knight. An invincible soldier he is utterly fearless and incredibly stubborn; so stubborn in fact that he refuses to back down even after receiving a total limb-ectomy from the King.
A killer bunny rabbit, farcical witch hunts, plague humour, an insane Scotsman and several indignant peasants all come together to make sure that the pursuit of the holy grail itself remains merely a framing device, one you almost hope won’t be found so that the story can continue.
However like with all the best comedies, the Python boys knew when to stop and so leave you wanting more by drawing the film to a close after only an hour and a half.
It’s hard to imagine a film topping ‘The Holy Grail’ for me, a fact made clear to me by the films I turned down when considering my favourite; Shaun of the Dead, The Hangover, Life of Brian, Four Lions, Anchorman, Airplane and the list could go on.
Until then Monty Python’s effort will remain my favourite comedy film due to, in my opinion the most crucial grounds, that no film has ever made me laugh so hard.
Today's song is my favourite example of where music and comedy combine, which seems appropriate considering the rest of the blog. I'd advise you watch their TV show, it's one of the funnier sitcoms in recent years.

Running into history
A marathon of two ages
By John Glover
When Greg Hannon and Sue Boreham won the inaugural Belfast City Marathon they were pioneering a mass participation event which in 2013 will celebrate 32 years of existence and innovation. But the City was not bereft of the 42.2km challenge before that date. The first Northern Ireland Championship event took place in Belfast in 1938 and continued to be held annually in the city into the 1980s, interrupted only for a three-year period during World War II.

Katharine Jefferts Schori hits the Public Relations Circuit in attempt to fix Episcopal Church's broken image
WED. UPDATE: Confirmed. The new head of Schori's Communications Office is not a journalist or anyone with a serious journalistic background, but a marketing flak. Keep your eyes on the branding.
UPDATE: Right on time! Here's Bishop Schori's speech to the National Press Club today, thanks to Minnesota Public Radio. You can scroll down this post for the speech.
Yep, Katharine Jefferts Schori has gotten rid of the traditional church communications team at her offices in Manhattan and is now - as we write this - hitting the public relations trail (keep those tithes and offerings coming!). She's here in Washington today and speaking to the National Press Club, which is, of course, Flak Heaven. We see one article has all ready hit the LA Times (which is teetering on bankruptcy by the way) that shows us the spin that 815 (ah, your church contributions at work!) is giving the media with their rather innovative interpretation of church history.
Kendall Harmon of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina writes about this reimagined history Bishop Schori is pushing:
"Sorry to say that I regard this article as an embarrassment in lopsided reporting. First, the history itself is flawed, since Anglicanism itself came as a result of a break in the 16th century, and there is also no mention of Methodism, or more of the details of the near split of TEC during the civl war, or the Reformed Episcopal Church split in 1873. Also, could we at least have quotes from people on both sides of an argument. Why could not even one reasserter be quoted in this piece?"
The answer, Kendall, is that Schori has launched a public relations tour and not a history lesson. It's about lawsuits and a public image that is so tarnished with members fleeing its churches (and it's not just about theology or social innovations, it's about a ruined public square marquee that should trouble us all - the Episcopal brand is smashed - no wonder her title of her road tour is Religion in the Public Square).
Heaven's to Betsy, it's not about getting both sides, but about attempting to repair a smashed public image in the public square as TEC continues it's march to sue and depose, sue and depose, sue and depose (who thought up this strategy anyway - Wall Street?). With the most serious journalists all fired from TEC's headquarters in New York, it is clear now that they have been replaced with public relations personnel instead. Same thing has happened on the other side of the Big Pond, as we've seen in the recent and rather dramatic change in strategy for the Archbishop of Canterbury and his media. The Episcopal/Anglican crisis is at hand.
We saw early signs of this reinvention in the reorganizational charts presented last year at the New Orleans House of Bishops meeting, only then the communications effort was divided into forks - one fork was the traditional church journalism and the other fork was for the flaks. The central focus of 815's communication efforts is to repair their image on the national stage. Schori took put a fork in the journalists, the flaks, however, remain.
At any moment we are about to hear the final ruling from the Fairfax Circuit Court on the properties of the Virginia churches that voted overwhelmingly to separate from The Episcopal Church. It makes a lot of sense to attempt to take some ground before the press is inundated with news stories regarding the Virginia ruling. The Episcopal Church has all ready announced, even before Judge Randy Bellows has issued his final judgement, that it will appeal his decision to the Virginia Supreme Court. So here we have Bishop Schori in Washington just as we expect that ruling at any time.
Alas, could not get away from the office today to catch her lunchtime remarks, but Cafe regulars are there. I did submit a question to the National Press Club though:
In Virginia alone the estimates for legal fees already top $5 million, money that could have surely been used for missionary work, helping the needy or reaching out to bring in new members. Looking back, would it have not been better to let the Virginia churches come to a settlement, which they were negotiating, instead of stepping in and forcing a protracted legal battle?
Stay tuned to find out what was really on the menu.
LATER: Here is Bishop Schori's amazingly sophomoric speech (which she lectures the press to be nicer and stop writing about schism and sex) to the National Press Club today. You may need Flash Player plugins to listen to the speech:
The first questions are as if the TEC flaks wrote the questions. ??? What did you as a woman feel like?" Can anyone be more patronizing - imagine asking a male bishop, "What do you think, as man?" Oh get real. Conscience raising? Conscience raising? Oh great, and now we're going to talk about those greedy churches. Of course, TEC isn't one of those. Who are the people asking these questions? Were they in the bus with Bishop Schori? Ah, Episcopalians are broad-minded. Ah - by learning about Islam we learn about our own faith. Really. SHALOM? Shalom? Ah, it's clear that she wants to be the spokesperson for the Liberalism-dominated churches. Just makes the heart feel warm, doesn't it? "If we understand the enemy, they soon become table mates." Did she really just say that?
How do you do that PR, she's asked. Yep - it's all about PR. And Bishop Schori says the way to do it is to tell a "broader story" rather than the "conflict story." Wow, at least she's honest that she's on a PR Tour.
What are the pros and cons of two provinces? What a boring answer. She has no passion, no conviction. "It's an ecumenical relationship," she said. She says that it's separate - which is of course, not true. It's also what the lawyers are telling her to say. Uh - we're all Anglican - and some of us are actually still Episcopalian. It's TEC that went off the rail and is being held accountable for its actions. Oops, she doesn't say that. And now she has to explain to why TEC is in decline. More people die? That's why TEC is in decline - because more people die? Oh my God.
So TEC is in decline because people keep dying. Oh my God.
WHAT? "We tried for a very long time - " wait. PANTS ON FIRE! Let me get this quote exactly right:
"We tried for a very long time to negotiate and came to a place where there was no willingness to negotiate so at that point you ask the courts to enforce the laws of the land."
This is so incredibly false - as we all know, the Virginia Churches were following the Diocese of Virginia's Protocol and with a Standstill Agreement in place following the voting and the recording of the votes (nothing was done to the status of the property - as was agreed in the Protocol), the actual negotiations were set to begin with the institution of what Bishop Peter James Lee called the Property Committee. Each church was to elect two representatives to join his committee and begin to work through the details on the settlement of all the properties. Truro had elected its two representatives on a Sunday and the next day, the Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori's chancellor David Booth Beers had a meeting with the Diocese of Virginia Standing Committee and the result of that meeting was on Wednesday the Standstill Agreement was abandoned, the Protocol was smashed, and both Bishop Schori and Bishop Lee separately filed lawsuits against nearly 200 lay volunteers and their rectors.
We were left at the table, a table hosted by Bishop Lee himself. Pants on Fire, Bishop Schori.
Bishop Schori's statement regarding Virginia - which is what Judge Randy Bellows may rule on this Friday - is so false, it is a major Pants on Fire event. Do we have to put this up yet again?
When asked about all the lawsuits - which of course are costing the Episcopal Church millions, she says, "I think we're past the worst of it ..." and then goes on to point out that the Virginia case is going to be appealed (the final ruling should be this Friday - how nice to announce the appeal before the final ruling, but she's not worried, oh no) and oh by the way, it's all based on slavery (which of course, the law is post-Civil War and was actually based on finding a way in a war-weary devastated nation to avoid more litigation and acrimony and more conflict and settle peacefully to build a road to reconciliation, which, in the case of the Methodist Church, actually did happen).
LATER: I just got off the phone with a friend and I told him about the statement that The Episcopal Church is in decline because people keep dying. He said he'd been at a holiday party filled with Emergency Room personnel and one of the ER personnel told him his philosophy of working in an ER, which of course you see the worst of the worst which one can only imagine. How do these people continue to serve, day in and day out - to see people at their worst? To which this particular ER worker said rather wryly to my friend, "Well, eventually, all bleeding stops."
Eventually all bleeding does stop. One way or the other.
She calls the loss a "significant departure." But all she can say is she'll leave the light on for ya. But she's not angry, oh no. She makes these sweeping statements - and they are just based on her PR Talking Points drawn up by the lawyers. She's got lots and lots of talking points - just like the talking points that were handed out by her office to the Episcopal bishops at the Lambeth Conference in Canterbury. It's just sad.
Live recording from last month's performance in New York City.
WEDNESDAY PM UPDATE: VirtueOnline now has a transcript of the press conference here. The video is here.

Bonne chance getting any answer at all from TEC's chief!
And you care, why?
I guess because I'm still an Episcopalian.
KAY4 said...
$5 million in legal fees - what's the total est value of the combined property of the "VA 11?" Can you say, "Net profit?" Not to mention the intimidation benefit.
BB Personally, and for what it is worth, I am glad you have the faith and love to still be an Episcopalian - good for you ettu
BB, how are you "still an Episcopalian"? You are, by choice, not Episcopalian. You are CANA, ACNA, Anglican, ...
Oh I don't know, they have sought to rebrand themselves as The Gay Church and appear to have succeeded.
I am still an Episcopalian.
I am an Episcopalian member of a CANA parish. My Episcopal reception has not been rescinded by anyone. In fact, I was reaffirmed by Lord Carey as well.
I've received communion several times in Episcopal Churches this past year, including in the Diocese of Virginia and the Diocese of Washington, as well as at the Episcopal Diocese of Virgina's Annual Council which I attended as a member of the Diocese of Virginia's Daughters of the King. I also attended the DOK Provincial Retreat for Province III.
Like a married couple who are separated and living in separate houses, I am separated from The Episcopal Church but I remain Episcopalian, just as if I was a wife separated from her husband but remains married to him.

Scott Gunn said...
First, Mary, I thought you were in CANA now? Did I get that wrong, and you are still a member of ECUSA?
Second, I'm not sure what you mean by your claim that +KJS got rid of the traditional communications team. There's still a good staff there, though there has been some turnover.
Third, there is news today of a new Director of Communication for ECUSA. Seems like 815 can't win. If they go out and share the Good News, they are accused of spin. If they say nothing, it's a conspiracy of secrecy.
For what it's worth, I wrote a bit about the new director on my little blog.
Scott+
In your marriage example, I think you have got it wrong. A better example is someone who gets a divorce and enters a new marriage. You are not still married to spouse #1.
I am sorry that you and others have felt the need to leave ECUSA. Really, I am. It grieves me to see Christ's Body torn apart. But we should not kid ourselves. When someone leaves, they leave. You can't leave and stay.
Ahh, bb, so you can repudiate TEC but you're still a member? Nice trick.
But that only raises the real questions. I thought the whole point of disaffiliation was to avoid being in communion with apostates, heretics, and false teachers? Why is it OK for you to remain an Episcopalian but it's not OK for your congregation?
Read your canons, it's worst than being RC layperson, there is no escape, my brother would technically still be a member and he's on the session of a PCUSA parish, he request for transfer was denied because of they could not except to another Episcopal parish. There is no way out except death for lay people, at least clergy can get out, however there no way to count people as a member of a parish either, so it's like canon law limbo.
OK, I'm reading I.17.4(a). Seems to cover exactly this case. You ask to leave, and you are removed. Please let me know what I'm missing. (I mean that sincerely.)
Lisa Fox said...
I am amused by your claim to be an Episcopalian, since you've been a vocal member of a schismatic movement determined to undercut the Episcopal Church. Haven't you been quite clear that you're a member of CANA? But whatever .... I know you folks make up your rules and allegiances as you go along.
Notwithstanding that dispute, I agree with you completely about what TEC is doing in the communications front. I grieve that TEC has shed the real journalists who were working there, and it grieves and concerns me. When TEC, CANA, or other groups opt for "PR" instead of real journalism and communications, I believe that is a very bad thing.
You accuse Presiding Bishop Schori of engaging in mere spin at the National Press Club. Oh, puh-leeze! Can you say with a straight [sic] face that Akinola, Minns, Duncan et al have been doing anything different? They have spent the past 5 years in the Spin Zone. Mind you, I'm not disagreeing about the spin factor. But I don't think you can charge Jefferts-Schori, unless you admit that the bishops on "your" side have been doing exactly the same thing.
Scott+,
Exactly what I mean by canon law limbo, read it carefully, an individual is removed from the rolls of a parish, but that's it. Catholic canons go farther and an individual can renounce the affiliation with the Rome Catholicism. Thus one enters a limbo state, but once confirmed, they can always reappear in an Episcopal parish many years later out this limbo. (There is abandonment for clergy, but laity are merely removed from the rolls of the parish).
While I find bb's claim to still be an Episcopalian a little confusing, I'm not at all confused about +Schori's statment regarding
TEC's efforts to reach a negotiated settlement with the VA churches.
Her testimony, under oath, is a matter of public record. She was the one that ordered a halt to the negotiations. It's time to stop calling it "spin". It's called a lie.
Um, clearly you know next to nothing about the National Press Club if you think that the people at 815 were the ones asking the questions, or to imply that the questions were posed by loyal fans of the PB. Seriously, don't you live in the DC area?!
If you are truly an Episcopalian, I must admit that you seem to be one of the angriest Christians I have ever read!
Well, eventually all bleeding stops.
I listened to about 25 minutes of the National Press Club. It was so atrociously bad. It makes me very happy. The press had to sit through 50 minutes of Unitarian blather. Did she mention Jesus in the second half? She didn't in the first half.
"So TEC is in decline because people keep dying. "
Oh wow, I'd been bantering with Scott+ not to see the updates ... she REALLY said that?!?!?!?!
Does she know what she just said?!?!?!?
She just confessed that Episcopalians are becoming irrelevant and soon will be dying out. The national population keeps growing, but she leading an organization with negative growth ... hmmmm ...
Kevin, when someone is removed from the parish register to go to another denomination, they are no longer a member of the Episcopal Church, because they are no longer a member of any Episcopal congregation. It's just the opposite when someone becomes an Episcopalian. It is the act of recording them in the parish register (per the canons) that makes them a member of the Episcopal Church. What else would you want?
As for the decline part, I'll be interested to read a transcript of the talk or listen to her exact words. If she said that, it would be an unfortunate word choice, indeed. To be clear: I am alarmed by our consistent decline over many years (long before +VGR, so that one cause doesn't wash in my book). I am even more alarmed by the failure of many ECUSA leaders to be alarmed. So on this point I find myself more in agreement with my friends on the right -- who tend to care about salvation and evangelism.
The way she makes the case for why the unchurched should come to The Episcopal Church (where they are losing members because their membership is so old it's dying out) - one can imagine if she was working for McDonalds and made the same case of why one should have a Big Mac rather than a Whopper. Her case is so noncompelling - even the interviewer seems dumbfounded that she doesn't seem to care if people come to the Episcopal Church. It all starts around the 32 mark.
She's not interested in the "cause of conversion" but in the cause of "serving the public."
Schori says it's not the lawsuits and other controversies that have caused the decline of The Episcopal Church. "More people die than are born and baptized to members of our tradition," she says. I kid you not.
Scott+ writes, "...long before +VGR".
If one looks at ASA, the Episcopal denomination was actually peaked in 2001, i.e., was growing in the late 90's and early 2000's. Remember the 20/20 program in the late 90's whose goal was to double the membership by 2020? The ASA showed a slight decline in 2002 but began five figure declines after 2002.
robroy,
Actually, the peak of ECUSA membership was in the mid 1960s. If you consider membership as a percentage of population (members per capita) the subsequent decline is even more marked.
Some of what Jefferts Schori said is true. Much of the postwar growth had to do with demographic patterns of family growth. In other words, we weren't very good at evangelism then either, but our incompetence was masked by growing families.
While it's true that all mainline Protestant churches have experienced similar patterns of decline, I do not think complacency is the answer. I also think that simplistic attempts to blame decline on liberalism are not adequate.
Surely we can agree that a focus on the Good News of Jesus Christ is perhaps the best growth strategy.
I agree with you, Scott. ;-)
"While it's true that all mainline Protestant churches have experienced similar patterns of decline, I do not think complacency is the answer." "I also think that simplistic attempts to blame decline on liberalism are not adequate."
No, only one mainstream denomination had the worst decline. The "well, all are shrinking" is not true. Southern Baptists are in crisis mode because they statistically stayed the same for the past couple of years. The Assemblies of God are growing. There was a paper several months back and it showed liberalism was highly correlated to decline.
"Surely we can agree that a focus on the Good News of Jesus Christ is perhaps the best growth strategy."
Amen. Poor Ms Schori, less than two weeks before Christmas, ignores this "growth strategy."

And then there are those who left the Episcopal Church to become Orthodox. Entire parishes are converting together. See St. Patrick's of Warrenton, VA for the latest I am aware of.
BB, I am still amazed at how you cling to the name "Episcopalian." I, on the other hand, am loath to admit to anyone that I was ever an Episcopalian. When I see what TEC is, I am embarrassed to be associated with it. When I talk to others about my husband, I make sure that I say he is "Anglican." I don't want anyone to associate the current beliefs of TEC with my husband's more orthodox religious convictions.
I did not leave the Episcopal Church. I was an abandoned child. I missed my mother and though I longed to have her back, I knew she didn't really want me. I searched for a long time to find a new mother. This one loves me and accepts me while challenging me to become a better person. She gently corrects me, wanting me to be conformed to the image of Christ. (My old mother didn't care what I became as long as I sang her praises and gave her money. That is not real love!)
Why in the world would I want to go back to a family that denied all I believed and treated me worse than a red-haired stepchild for clinging to what I had been taught was true? Although I missed that family at first, what I have found far surpasses what was there.
Maybe you haven't realized yet that TEC doesn't want you. You are still mourning for her love that has grown cold - you keep thinking that if you call yourself Episcopalian someday it will be again. Wake up! She (TEC) doesn't want you or love you! (...not the REAL you - she wants to be able to count your head and count on your money!) She has polar opposites as beliefs about Our Lord, who He is, what He did.
Embrace the Truth you have found in CANA. Give yourself wholeheartedly to those who have risked so much to give you a home where your orthodox beliefs ARE accepted! If you can't do that, look for a third party that will comfort and succor you.
The Orthodox Church waits as it has for 2000 years. And for those who prefer a Western service to the Byzantine, there is a Western Rite based on the Book of Common Prayer! see: http://www.antiochian.org/western-rite
We are blessed to be between two such churches: St. Patrick's in Warrenton and St. Gregory the Great in DC
AH, "dualism" - power over - "either/or" thinking (I see a great deal of this in the blog above) contrasted with wisdom and "connect the dots" love themes in the Bible!
Taken mystically - and realizing the dark glass we look thru - I see no inherent reason that BB cannot have a foot in the 2 camps. I do see how this can confound traditional thinking and can only suggest prayer and meditation to try to understand the mystery of her stance. with love , ettu
PS I just saw a blog titled "et tu" - for clarification I have nothing to do with that blog
Scott Gunn,
When the votes (to leave TEC)were to be taken in the DioVA churches back in late '06 - early '07, one of the issues was to determine how many people ages 16 and over were really active participating members of each church.
The difficult part was for those who just left without requesting a letter of transfer to another Episcopal church, which ,short of knowing they had died, was the only method of removing them from the rolls.
Did they move away, go to another denomination, stop attending any church, die without our knowledge? Without a request for a letter of transfer, there was no procedural way within DioVA to remove them from the rolls. Conversely, if a young couple had their baby baptized, then never again set foot in that church, that baby was to be carried on the rolls. Diocesan rules - not the individual church's.
I suspect this is true in a great many Episcopal dioceses. 2.3 million members nationwide? I would be surprised if the number is half that. When the growth prevention team takes over in any organization, the end date pops over the horizon.
It is one of Bishop Schori's talking points drawn up by her lawyers that is trying to say that the Episcopal Church is a Communion unto itself (hence, the rationale that bishops who go to another Anglican province have abandoned the communion - if TEC is a communion unto itself and anyone not inside the TEC structure is not in the communion, then it's like becoming a Methodist or a Presbyterian or a Hindu Lite). IN this chat at the National Press Club she tries yet again to make that talking point that that the two provinces are an ecumenical issue, which of course is another falsehood. We're swapping howdies with Rowan Williams and we want to keep doing that.
It was the Archbishop of Canterbury himself who sees "the Church" as the Anglican Communion and the provinces make up the Church. TEC wants top/down control when it suits their legal strategy, and they are fine with being inclusive, as long as it fits the legal strategy. Rowan wants an inclusive church, but his vision is not authoritarian, which is so rare it just takes the breath away. I admire greatly for his ability to refrain from authoritarianism. Were that the Presiding Bishop had such wisdom.
I remain an Episcopal member of a CANA parish. I am separated from the structure called TEC, but not from many of her people who are my brothers and sisters in Christ, including the ones who have posted here.
My conscience could not permit me to remain in the structures and in the Diocese of Virginia we had found an extraordinary way - through much prayer and tears and sacrifice - to live peacefully as we continued to seek reconciliation - which was a dream of Bishop Lee's that I shared, and still share. Come what may.
What does the term "Episcopal" mean to you? What does it mean to you to say you are "Episcopalian?" What would it mean to you to say you are "Anglican?" Why aren't you an "Anglican member of a CANA parish?" What is it exactly about the name "Episcopal" that you can't find in any other appellation? I guess we just can't understand. Can you help us?
I love the gay people who get on here and act like they are offended because the majority of the Church is finally responding to their impetuousness.
YES, Lisa Fox, it IS possible that your movement has not claimed the whole Church as you thought, and that people are taking their turf back after years of indulging what should have never been.
BB - you still cling to a rose-tinted view of Rowan.... for all your great work exposing the darkness in the current TECUSA leadership, do you not see it is Rowan who has refused to take any substantial action against them....it is Rowan who invited Schori and her revisionist bishops to Lambeth even though he knew that meant hundreds of faithful bishops could not, in conscience, also come to Lambeth.... Lambeth invitations were Rowan's chance to exercise some discipline in line with the views of the vast majority of bishops and Primates of the AC...
BB, I think you are a wonderful, faithful, brave Christian and do so much of very great value - but you seem to want to forget who has chosen to keep Schori, Bruno and Chane et al in a position of power in the AC?
As I recall, Bishop Schori stood in defiance, with her arms folded while other Episcopal bishops walking out as the rest of the Lambeth Conference gave Rowan Williams a rousing ovation when he concluded his final address to conclude the conference. That very public act of defiance was lost on no one - including the Archbishop of Canterbury himself. Bishop Bruno and Bishop Chane came home and orchestrated their own defiant acts that flew in the face of what Rowan Williams pleaded with the Americans not to do, illustrating for even more public consumption exactly what they thought of Rowan Williams. Believe me, none of that is lost on Rowan Williams which is why he will neither confirm nor deny that he supports the creation of a new province in North America. We in America think like Americans. But the British are quite different, especially when engaging in acts of diplomacy - where what is not said means far more than what is said, at least in public.
Anam Cara,
I will not speak for Baby Blue, but I can tell you why I have the same attitude as she does. It does not matter whether TEC loves me or not. It is, rather, a case of loving Christ's church -- even a branch that is wayward and fallen. I did not receive "the truth" from CANA; I had committed my life to Christ well over two decades earlier. I did not lose that truth when I entered TEC; to the contrary, I met many godly people who expanded my vision of what it means to be a orthodox Christian while Truro was in it. And, like Baby Blue, I spent a good amount of time working at several General Conventions, and in other areas of service inbetween, striving for TEC to grow in orthodoxy.
For me, as well, there's the issue of not wanting to see Christ's body break asunder any more. While our invisible unity is important, so is our visible unity. Too many of us Protestants often downplay visible unity in favor of invisible unity. It is grievous that a branch of Christ' body is becoming more heterodox. And it is grievous to see orthodox Christian brothers and sisters divided, with some in TEC and some outside of TEC.
Some of us, then, find ourselves loving and appreciating our new homes, trusting that God is using even these departures to, in the long run, build up the unity of Christ's body. At the same time, however, we still love and want the best for the wayward branch. We are indeed Anglicans, but we are also Episcopalians in exile.
Peace of Christ to you,
Ralph (Chip) Webb
BB, I am British and understand Rowan pretty well, same university etc.....and while Schori did fold her arms and disrespect the ABC, she was only there at Lambeth with Bruno and Chane because the ABC made a choice to invite them in the knowledge that his decision would lead to hundreds of faithful bishops to, in conscience, refuse invitations to Lambeth..... and it was not in our interests as "non-revisionists"
Thank you for that well thought out answer. It does help some. I agree that it is grievous that "a branch of Christ's body is becoming more heterodox."
But what I still cannot understand is what it is in the term "Episcopalian" that causes you to cling to it, to call yourself an "Episcopalian in exile."
It seems to me that the name "Christian" should trump all others. After that in order of classification, you would be Anglican since you do hold tenants of faith that differ from Baptist, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, etc. But if there is no difference between what the Anglicans teach/believe why must you call yourselves Episcopalian? Do other countries in the Anglican Communion have specific designations for their churches such as the Episcopal church?
I am Orthodox. If when I say that someone says, "Greek?" I respond, "yes." If they say, "Russian?" I say, "yes." Since all Orthodox churches have the same doctrines, it doesn't matter which one - they are all the same except for the food at ethnic festivals. It's rather like the difference between Roman Catholic parishes that are predominately Italian, or Spanish, or Polish - it boils down to what food they eat, certainly not worth arguing over!
So what is it that sets the Episcopalians apart from the Anglicans (at least before the current unpleasantness) that would compel you to cling to that designation? Are their different doctrines? That is what I just don't grasp - I thought all Anglicans had the same teachings - all based on the 39 Articles. If there is no difference, isn't just using the term divisive - setting yourselves apart from other Anglicans?

Community Games Captain Kevin Coyne with the All-Ireland Hurling Trophy
There were only two national competitions in under age hurling open to all G.A.A. Clubs in the Country- Feile na nGael and the Community Games. Under-age games have a character and intensity all of their own and when two particularly talented teams face each other in the final of these competitions the outcome is likely to be something very special.
Such was the case at Mosney, Co. Meath when Athenry played Farranree from Cork in the All-Ireland Community Games Final. It was a game full of wholehearted endeavour and an abundance of skill. With time almost up Athenry scored the winning goal in one of the most exciting finishes ever seen in an All-Ireland Final.
Success doesn't come overnight and this is certainly true in Athenry juvenile hurling. For years participation was the name of the game but the winning of the 1981 County and Connacht Community Games titles was a significant breakthrough. Shortly after that win Athenry qualified for the semi-final of the West Galway under 13 league against Castlegar. Athenry surprised many including the 'Cashei' side by winning 1-4 to nil and qualified to meet old rivals Turloughmore in the final. Two snap goals early in the final at Oranmore and Athenry were in control. Turloughmore tried very hard to get back in the game but could not catch Athenry in a thrilling finish after they had cut Athenry's lead to two points. The final score was 4-1 to 3-2, with John Rynne and Cormac Cullinane each scoring two goals for Athenry and Martin Fitzpatrick a point.
Because of their poor record in previous years Athenry were included in Division (B) of the under 14 Feile championship. Luck is a factor in every competition and Athenry certainly enjoyed their share in the Feile matches with Maree/ Oranmore and Clarinbridge. Against "Oran" they had a one point-winning margin 2-2 to 2-1 and beat Clarinbridge by two points 1-7 to 2-2. Both were very exciting games. They had a comfortable win over Ardrahan in the next round to reach the county semi-final against pace setters from another group, Kilconieron. Athenry met the challenge fine style winning by 3.4 to 1-2 to qualify for the final.
Loughrea the eventual county (A) winners put paid to Athenry's hopes of representing Galway in the Feile na nGael Finals in Dublin winning by 1-5 to 0-2. However, they could still look forward to the County (B) Final against Annaghdown.
A narrow victory margin in a thrilling game brought great satisfaction to players and supporters alike. lt was all Athenry in the opening half but Annaghdown powered by Tommy Greaney came back into the game and the final whistle was greeted with sighs of relief among Athenry supporters. Athenry scored 1-10 to Annaghdown's 3-1 and the highlights of the game were the displays of team Captain, Martin (Mairt) Fitzpatrick who scored seven points. Paul Moran, Gerard Keane arid Paul Hardiman who was given the difficult task of marking Greaney, Joe Rabbitte who scored 1-1, Kevin Coyne, Cormac Cullinane and John Rynne with a point each were Athenry's other scorers.
Team: Joe Maloney, Brian Feeney, Paul Moran, Kevin Holian, Brendan Keogh, Paul Harridan, Gerard Keane, Kevin Cony, Padraic Smyth, Noel Murphy, John Rynne, Martin Fitzpatrick, (Capt.), Cormac Cullinane, Joe Rabbitte, Cathal Moran.
After the game County Juvenile Board Chairman Aubrey Higgins presented the cup to Martin Fitzpatrick, for him a fitting climax to four years of under 14 hurling with the Club.

The revived under 12 championship provided Athenry with another opportunity of testing their younger players. In a series of exciting games they defeated Gort, Loughrea, Kilconieron and Meelick/ Eyrecourt to qualify for the County Final against Killmor. Unfortunately they lost the final 2-3 to 2-0 but the displays of sharpshooters Cathal Moran, Patrick Hession and Joe Rabbitte and defenders Paul Hardiman and team Captain Brian Feeney was a revelation.

Disappointment at losing the final was short-lived, the Community Games matches were on and a date with arch rivals Castlegar on their home ground in the County semi-final. Another classic game with the result in doubt right up to the final whistle with Athenry winning by 2-3 to 2-1. The final against Claregalway was easier than expected-Athenry taking the title by 3-6 to 1-0 and a feature of that game was that seven Athenry players scored. They duly retained their Connacht title and were back at Butlins for the National Finals on the second weekend in September. Hurling "fever" had gripped the youngsters of the Parish as the team prepared for the much-talked-about trip and even though the panel was confined to twenty, three times that number showed up for training.
Athenry were drawn against the Leinster champions in the semi-final-a Dublin team from Butterfield. After early uncertainty, a Cormac Cullinane goal settled Athenry who gradually took control and finished clear winners with the score 5-4 to 1-3. The display was a bit disappointing in general despite the easy win but one player stood out-wing forward Eddie Fox. His speed, ball control and accuracy picking off some delightful scores made him man-of-the-match.
"Athenry juveniles do Galway proud with Community Games win' was the heading on a report of the final in the Connacht Tribune. It continued "Juvenile hurlers from Cork and Galway played a thrilling Community Games All-Ireland Final and for the first time in the thirteen years of the games the National trophy crossed the Shannon. Athenry representing Galway surpassed all expectations to snatch victory from Cork's Farranree in the last seconds of a memorable game.
With brilliant hurling from start to finish this game had an electric atmosphere that heightened to near unbearable tension in the suspense-packed closing moments that delighted spectators. The Galway representatives could not in their wildest dreams have expected to succeed against the Cork and Munster champions from the famed Glen Rovers and Na Piarsiagh Clubs.
But for them and their loyal band of followers it was a day of unrestrained jubilation winning as they did with a dramatic last minute goal as an undeserved defeat stared them in the face in a maddening race against time.
Aided by a gale force wind in the first half Joe Rabbitte opened the scoring after five minutes for Athenry when he sent a spectacular ground shot to the corner of the net as Athenry desperately tried to build a lead while aided by the elements. Gerard Keane moved from centre back to corner forward and immediately he made his presence felt scoring a goal with team Captain Kevin Coyne sending over a point from a'65'and another magnificent long range one from play. Athenry were ahead 2-2 to nil as halftime approached but suffered a severe blow when Cork's star Mickey Mullins sent a penalty to the net which was followed by a point from play to leave the halftime score 2-2 to 1-1.
Athenry faced a huge task in the second half against the very strong wind not to mention the opposition who were renowned for their scoring ability and winners of the semi-final by 22 points.
It looked anything but good for Athenry as the Cork siege on their goal began but with Brian Feeney, Kevin Holian and Eamonn Keogh forming a powerful full back line and the brilliant Kevin Coyne now at left half back, the Cork boys found scoring difficult. Eventually they succeeded with Mickey Mullins, their superb midfielder, scoring a great goal before he equalised with a smashing sideline cut.
Many a team would have "thrown in the towel' at that stage but not this Athenry side, time and time again Tommy lane and Paul Hardiman defied the Cork boys. Farranree did manage to score two points to take the lead and were denied goals by goalkeeper Joe Maloney who made three diving saves in quick succession.
Trailing by 2 points Athenry could hardly believe they had survived the Cork onslaught and were still in with a chance of winning as the game entered the final minutes. Realising this, they went looking for a goat as the seconds ticked away. With a minute to go they got a chance when John Rynne put Padraic Smyth through but his shot was stopped on the goal line, and cleared. The Munster and All-Ireland champions looked like winners yet again.

But for once Galway's fortunes against Cork were dramatically rescued with a 'Magical' passing movement by five Athenry players that ended with the ball in the Farranree net. Almost on the call of time Eddie Fox, John Rynne, Padraic Smyth and Cormac Cullinane played their part in making an opening for Tommy Morrissey to score the all-important goal with an unstoppable shot. Athenry a point ahead, the ball is pucked out quickly but Kevin Holian and Eamonn Keogh have it covered and clear upfield-the whistle goes and its all over!
"It was a tremendous exciting finish' according to the 'Tribune' "to a razor edge game with a goal just in the nick of time and victory going to the underdogs. As the final whistle sounded hundreds of delirious spectators from Galway ran onto the pitch to congratulate the Athenry players.
The team had captured the imagination of the forge crowd as they outwitted and hurled the best in the game against the odds. Their victory was richly deserved and every player played his part in capturing for Galway a premier juvenile hurling title for the first time. '
On their return to Athenry on Monday they were given a heroes welcome as bonfires blazed and hundreds of people turned out to greet them at the railway station. That spontaneous reception at Athenry and wonderful official one on the following Friday night throughout the whole Parish were memorable occasions.

The Connacht Tribune under 13-bicycle championship again attracted a considerable amount of interest. Athenry with impressive wins over Loughrea, Ballygar, Rahoon/Newcastle and Kilrickle/Cappatagle qualified for the semi-final, which was played at Loughrea a week after their All-Ireland success at Mosney. It was a repeat of the previous years under 12 final as Killimor were their opponents.
"Fresh from their great triumph in the Community Games" wrote the Connacht Tribune, "the Athenry lads showed that they appear bound for further success. in years to come with a really impressive display of combination hurling".
A one-goal win for Athenry in a game that had another thrilling finish put them into the final. Joe Maloney gave a magnificent display of goalkeeping particularly in the closing stages when Killimor piled on the pressure. Cormac Cullinane scored a classic goal when he doubled in the air on the dropping ball from a sideline cut by John Rynne. Another goal by Rynne at the start of the second half shocked Killimor but they battled back into contention in the closing stages and would have snatched a late equaliser but for Maloney's saves. The final score read Athenry 2-2 Killimor 1-2.
In the final, Kilconieron emerged as worthy winners with Athenry not producing their true form and missing several good scoring chances early in the game. No one, least of all Athenry, begrudged Kilconieron the in victory because, like Athenry, they too had been without success for a number of years. The County Board presented the Athenry players with a set of Digital watches after the game, which, in a way, lifted their spirits.
The Clubs under 16 hurlers defeated Gort by 2-4 to 1-4 in their first game of the championship with Martin Fitzpatrick and Michael Maloney each scoring 1-2.
Team: John Hardiman, Paul Moran, Gerry Rabbitte, Barry Kearns, Sean McGovern, Anthony Jennings, Gerry Mulkerrins, Niall Cullinane, Joe Morrissey, Tony Ruane, Michael Maloney, Michael Doherty, Kevin Coyne, Francis Flaherty, Martin Fitzpatrick.
Turloughmore who went on to win the County Final proved far too strong for Athenry in the next game and won very easily.
It was, indeed, a most memorable year for Athenry's juveniles-they participated in a total of nine competitions, reached seven finals and won five of them but most important of all was that hurling was thriving among the youth of the Parish.
After being beaten by Kinvara in their first game the Athenry minors came storming back with an excellent win over County champions Turloughmore in their next game. Played at Athenry the champions could not match the speed and skill of several Athenry players who were outstanding. Two goals by John Flaherty and Pat Higgins pulled back a Turloughmore lead of seven points and from then on the winners continued to improve. The scores were level with less than two minutes left when Michael Maloney sent over a free from almost eighty yards to give Athenry the deciding point.
Team:Tommy Fitzpatrick, Gerry Rabbitte, Mark Tully, Stephen Canavan, Hugh Higgins, Gerry Waldron, Pat Kavanagh, Sean Keane, Andrew Finn, Sean Kindregan, Joe Morrissey, Paul Caulfield, John Flaherty, Michael Maloney, Pat Higgins,
With other successes over Pearses and Carnmore Athenry qualified for the County Quarter-Final against Kiltormer. It was all Kiltormer in the opening period and they led by nine points at halftime. The second half was a real thriller as Athenry battled back into contention with Sean Kindregan and Joe Morrissey outstanding. When substitute Niall Cullinane put them ahead with a brilliant goal they looked like winners with three minutes left. But Kiltormer punished a delay by the full back line in clearing the ball and regained the lead. Athenry came storming back and Cullinane again had the ball in the Kiltormer net but the referee awarded a penalty claiming that he had blown the whistle. Gerry Waldron's shot was blocked but dropped over the line. The umpire raised the green flag but the referee overruled him to the disgust of the Athenry players.
Bitterly disappointed most of the minor team were part of the under 21 panel who were determined to make amends. Young Joe Morrissey showed all the signs of a future star with four goals in the opening game of the championship against Tuam Stars, with Athenry winning easily. In their next game against Portumna at Loughrea the East Galway side kept in touch in the opening half but never got control at midfield where Michael Waldron had an outstanding game. Six magnificent points from play for Athenry at the start of the second half ended the game as a contest.
Athenry were through to the County semi-final against a Leitrim side led by former County minor star Gerry Fallon and favourites to win the title. The game started at a hectic pace with both sides striving to gain control. Billy Caulfield caused endless problems for the Leitrim defence and with Seamus Kearns getting the better of Fallon Athenry showed that they were set on winning. The vital score of the game came shortly after halftime. Michael Waldron collected the ball on the left wing, took on the defence and despite several tackles managed to kick the ball to the net for a truly great individual effort. From there on Athenry's superior fitness, speed and determination proved too much for their opponents who never gave up until the final whistle.
Athenry destroyed Salthill's hopes of a historic win in the final at St. Brendan's Park, Loughrea far more easily than the scoreline of 3-9 to 2-3 might suggest.
An early goal by Salthill's John Fallon from a free put Athenry who were very slow to settle at the start, on their guard. An excellent halfback line of Adrian Ruane, Pascal Healy and Gerry Waldron made Salthill's task of scoring very difficult. Behind them a vigilant full back line was always in control and at halftime Athenry led by 0-6 to 1 -2.
The winners piled on the pressure early in the second half and were rewarded with a splendidly worked goal. Pascal Healy collected a ball deep in his own half and with a powerful solo run down the right wing, shaking off several tackles, sent a high ball towards the square. Joe Morrissey was there to first time it to the net for a classic goal with Michael Waldron adding another to give his side a comfortable lead. It was over as a contest when Morrisey caught a high ball shook off the defenders before sending an unstoppable shot to the net. Pascal Healy was without doubt Athenry's man-of-the-match. The Connacht Tribune's report read 'He took this game by the scruff of of the neck and with an all action display of power hurling was the main motivation in Athenrys best moves and eventual victory.' Not far behind him were several other players particularly Adrian Ruane, Dermot Monaghan, Joe Morrissey, the powerful Se6n Kindregan and Seamus Kearns.

'Hell hath no fury like a forward scorned' wrote Donal Carroll of the Irish Independent in his report of the 1982 Railway Cup Final between Connacht and Leinster at O'Connor Park, Tullamore. He was, of course, referring to P. J. Molloy who clearly infuriated by an umpires decision braved a forest of hurleys to score a dramatic goal with only seconds left and snatch a sensational victory for Connacht hurlers.
In 1977 Molloy became the first Galwayman to head the Annual Nationwide Scoring Charts with 8-69 (93 points). Five years later he powered his way back to the top with the best annual return and a new Galway record. During the year he scored 15-19 (136 points) in 20 games an average of 6.80 points per match and a comfortable lead of 44 points over his nearest rival, Kilkenny's Billy Fitzpatrick.
The previous years County intermediate champions Loughrea were Athenry's opponents in the first round of the senior championship at Pearse Stadium. In the opening half the Athenry forwards persisted in going for goals when points would be much more valuable. Peter Murphy could not be beaten in the Loughrea goal and they led by 1-4 to 0-3 at the break.
A goal by Gerry Maher after halftime put them further ahead and they ended convincing winners by 2-8 to 0-9. It was a poor start for Athenry who lacked direction and wasted too many good scoring chances.
Old rivals Turloughmore were Athenrys next opponents and while the game was always exciting it never had the excitement or tension of previous 'battles'. Playing against the wind and 'hill' at Ballindereen, Athenry started well giving 'Turiough's' forwards very little room. They were doing well until P. J. Molloy crashed in a goal, but to everyone's consternation referee Mick Quaine blew for a free out for a 'third man tackle'. At the interval Turloughmore led by five points 0-8 to 0-3. Athenry reduced the lead after the interval but a goal by Frank Duffy ended their comeback bid. Molloy lashed in another goal for Ahenry but it was not enough to lift his side who went down 1-16 to 1-7.
Hopes of victory against Carnmore in the next game were ended even before the team left the dressingroom. Poor organisation and the failure of key players to show up were the most disappointing aspects of one of the Club's worst defeats in championship hurling. With just fifteen players and not even the Club's own jerseys Athenry faced a Carnmore side that were well in contention for championship honours. To add to Athenry's problems they had to line out without P. J. Molloy who was forced to withdraw with a nose injury. Despite a courageous defensive display Athenry were comprehensively beaten.
The remaining game in the championship looked a mere formality for Sarsfields, but such was not the case as Athenry lined out with a new look side, that played with plenty of heart and determination. Pascal Healy at full back was in devastating form and at halftime Athenry led the favourites. It was anybody's game midway through the second half but a lucky goal for Sarsfields gave them a lead they held until the end.
Team: Billy Caulfield, Jarlath Cloonan, Pascal Healy, Vincent Kelly, Noel Kelly, Michael Gardner, Tom Page, Michael Waldron, Dermot Monaghan, Gerry Hall, Mixie Donohue, Gerry Holian, Michael Flaherty, Tom Cloonan, Jack O'Shea.
The County senior hurling team were well beaten by Kilkenny 2-20 to 2-10 in the All-Ireland semi-final but the County minors qualified for the final with a thrilling one point win over Kilkenny 2-6 to l-8. Gerry Waldron was a member of the minor panel who went on to lose to Tipperary in the final by 2-7 to 0-4.
Pascal Healy played for Galway in the All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling Final
Pascal Healy was at right halfback on the county under 21 side, which defeated Kilkenny in the semi-final by 1-13 to 1-10 at Mullingar. In the final against Cork at Birr, Galway suffered a heartbreaking defeat, losing by one point which was scored seconds before the final whistle, the score 0-12 to 0-11. Healy gave an impressive performance in both games and could not be faulted.
The introduction of several members of the under 21 side into the senior team was proving successful and the first big test came in the Reeves Cup against Turloughmore. In an entertaining game Athenry held on at the end to win by 3-8 to 3-7 for a victory that was unexpected but well deserved. Later in the year the team travelled north of the border for the first time to play a Middleton selection, which included several Armagh players. Athenry were narrow winners in a hard fought game.
Clontibret G.A.A. Club hosted the Athenry players on a most enjoyable weekend. On Sunday Monaghan provided the opposition and were well defeated by a determined Athenry side with Adrian Ruane having an outstanding game at midfield.
Heavy rain during a close marking All-Ireland Club Camogie Final against Buffers Alley did not help Athenry's chances of winning their second title. Still they started well with two points by Teresa Duane and Mary Hobbins. Buffers Alley, however, made better use of their chances and deservedly led by 2-1 to 0-2 at halftime.
The Athenry girls enjoyed little luck in the second half and Buffers Alley aided by the wind had much more of the play and added a goal and a point to win the title. Athenry's best, according to the Irish Press, were Chris Silke, Noreen Treacy, Breda Coady, Una Jordan and Teresa Duane.
A capacity attendance of over 300 guest attended the Club's Annual Social in O'Deas Hotel, Loughrea to celebrate the climax of a very successful year for the Club's underage players.
The Chairman Tom Cloonan congratulated the sixty-four players present who between them had won six finals. Speaking on behalf of the County Juvenile Hurling Board Sean Glynn, the Secretary, said he enjoyed watching the Athenry boys playing, their speed and skill but particularly the way they enjoyed themselves, which is what the game is all about.
Speaking for the players and parents Martin T. Kelly NT said the whole Parish was united in their support for the Club and recalled the magnificent reception given to the Community Games team from Derrydonnell to Tiaquin. Frank Coyne made a special presentation to the team's trainers Tom Cloonan and Sean McGovern on the behalf of the parents. The Noel Keogh memorial trophy, presented annually to the Club's juvenile player-of-the-year went to Kevin Coyne Captain of the Community Games team.
The attendance, the largest ever at a Club function, celebrated a memorable year and victory by Athenry's young hurlers over the best in Ireland in September, 1982.

Does Obama Miss the Moment with #toofarleft?
Problem Solver Convention
3 Nov '19 12:00 pm - 06:00 pm
Don't Let Republicans Tell Us How To Vote
Stephen Rockwell • 17 November 2019
Featured 0 comments
President Obama this last week issued a rare and unusual public statement about the Presidential race, warning the Democratic field not to veer "too far left." While almost all of the candidates have made their obligatory pilgrimage to meet with the former President, such a public near rebuke of the progressive, majoritarian wing of the party seems out of place, happening at time where the buzz of backroom wealthy Democratic donors is encouraging the late entries of Deval Patrick and Michael Bloomberg into a race that wasn't lacking for centrists or billionaires in the field.
The New York Times reported Obama not mentioning any candidate by name, "but he took aim at the 'activist wing' of the Democratic Party and 'left-leaning Twitter feeds,' saying they were out of touch with the average voter. 'This is still a country that is less revolutionary than it is interested in improvement,' he told an audience of some of the party’s wealthiest donors on Friday evening." (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/16/us/obama-left-democrats-2020.html)
Well...of course he was talking to wealthy donors, because many of them are quite concerned that a Warren or Sanders Presidency will actually impact their financial lives in ways that that the previous Democratic presidencies of Obama and Clinton did not. Indeed, the economic policies of third way centrism only made them preposterously more prosperous and did little to lift all economic ships. The truth though is that if we are going to make a serious dent in the gross economic inequality, if we are truly going to educate every citizen well through post-secondary, if we are going solve the climate crisis, if we are going to ensure access to health care for every citizen, than we will need to rely on the wealth of those billionaires with a significantly more progressive tax scheme than we currently employ.
We also found out this week that for the first time in American history, the very wealthy are being taxed at a lower rate than working people. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/camilomaldonado/2019/10/10/trump-tax-cuts-helped-billionaires-pay-less-taxes-than-the-working-class-in-2018/#3249eb03128f - And yes, that's no left-wing socialist rag making this report, it is Forbes). This inflection point of our economic history must become the very bottom of the historical tax curve. We need to tax wealth and raise the marginal rates on incomes for millionaires and billionaires if we hope suspend our descent into plutocracy and maintain a functioning democratic republic.
And so, I wonder if Obama is missing the moment here. Does he not realize how quickly the party that he led has moved ideologically to the left? This is not the same party or country in the last time he ran in 2012 or even 2016. The demographic shifts that we were all discussing in 2016 about a younger, more diverse electorate all still hold true despite Trump's last gasp of xenophobia and racism. The Republicans, already headed towards minority status are cementing such a position for a generation in their embrace of white nationalism and topsy-turvey, mafia-style foreign policy. A decade and a generation from now, we will all still be asking, what did you do to fight the racism, lies, and civic ugliness of Trump?
I'm not saying the leftward shift is Trump-driven. though it has catalyzed activism in the country and crystalized many issues for folks. For example, we now see that Democratic policies unjustly deported millions of immigrants, created cover for pre-emptive war and slaughter in Iraq, supported stop and frisk laws and other racist policing methods that encouraged a mass incarceration system, or more immediately in our discussion, didn't ask the rich to do their fair share out of fear of being deemed a class warrior or worse yet, because Larry Summers did not think it was a good idea.
The fact is that most Americans and certainly most Democrats support almost all of what's on the policy table of the progressive Democrats in the race. This past summer, I warned against letting Republicans or Republican-leaning folks tell Democrats for whom to vote (https://www.civicaction.center/story/dont-let-republicans-tell-us-how-vote). It is worth reiterating here the broad support that progressive policy has with Americans:
Single Payer Healthcare. 56% of Americans support single payer 38% oppose and support is trending upward over time. https://www.slideshare.net/KaiserFamilyFoundation/public-opinion-on-singlepayer-national-health-plans-and-expanding-access-to-medicare-coverage-150455379
Green New Deal. The policy prescriptions have support of 80% of registered voters. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/421765-poll-majorities-of…
Taxing the Rich. 76% of registered voters want to increase taxes on the rich. https://fortune.com/2019/02/04/support-for-tax-increase-on-wealthy-americans-poll/amp/
So frankly, I'm not even sure what President Obama is talking about when he warns about being #toofarleft. These are mainstream issues. Candidates who offer full-throated support for these issues like Warren and Sanders are polling well with their support growing rather than shrinking. Obama is missing the moment and it is up for the voters to bring him along. We need his voice moving forward, but as a catalyst, rather than impediment: not for the change we can believe in, but rather for the policies we know we need to bring about lasting systemic change.

NIA head calls on JPs to step up efforts to fight corruption
MONTEGO BAY, St James — Executive director of National Integrity Action (NIA), Professor Trevor Munroe has called on justices of the peace (JPs) to step up their efforts and assist in the ongoing fight against corruption.
Professor Munroe, who was speaking at a justice of the peace sensitisation session at Montego Bay Convention Centre in St James on Friday, said JPs have a very important role to play in the justice reform programme, and that the country is depending on them to stay the course and continue to respect their oath of office.
“NIA has partnered with the Ministry of Justice in the fight against crime and corruption, and also with the aim of reforming the country's justice system,” said Munroe
“This partnership is also about training, mobilising and motivating you, and thousands of JPs across Jamaica, to intensify your role as soldiers in the army of integrity. You are already recruits. I remind you that to be appointed a justice of the peace, the governor general has to be satisfied that you are of unquestionable integrity and command the respect and confidence of your community,” he added.
The NIA executive director said while he is aware that many JPs have been going above and beyond the call of duty, now more than ever is the time, [as] “Jamaica is calling you” to demonstrate that unquestionable integrity, that continuing service, that discharge of your responsibilities to avoid “partisan, political influences”, as you are enjoined to do by your code of conduct.
Professor Munroe said his organisation also has that responsibility to duty above self, noting that “we, too in NIA are called upon by Jamaica's current challenges to intensify our work to build a Jamaica of integrity”.
“Our mission is to combat corruption and to practise our principles of integrity and impartiality,” he added.
Professor Munroe said that in carrying forward “these objectives”, the NIA has supported not only the training of JPs but of officials at other levels in the justice system, in particular, investigators from the Jamaica Constabulary Force, functionaries in the courts, and prosecutors.
“You should note that between 2017 and 2018 we engaged over 250 police investigators and prosecutors in anti-gang training,” he said.
“We in NIA are now encouraged to see the beginning of the fruits of this training. We thank the minister and the justice ministry for their role in the continuing partnership. We also want to thank the American people and the American Government for assisting Jamaica and NIA with funding,” Professor Munroe said.

Renalase Deficiency in Heart Failure Model of Rats—A Potential Mechanism Underlying Circulating Norepinephrine Accumulation

Here, we identify a potential mechanism underlying norepinephrine accumulation in a rat model of heart failure.\\n\\nMETHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Initially, we constructed a rat model of unilateral renal artery stenosis (n = 16) and found that the expression of renalase, a previously identified secreted amine oxidase, was markedly reduced in the ischemic compared to the non-ischemic kidney (protein: 0.295±0.085 versus 0.765±0.171, p<0.05). Subsequently, we utilized an isolated perfused rat kidney model to demonstrate that the clearance rate of norepinephrine decreased with reduction of perfusion flow. On the basis of these findings, we hypothesized the reduced renal blood supply which occurs in heart failure would result in impaired synthesis of renalase by the kidney and consequently reduced degradation of circulating norepinephrine. To verify this, we used a rat model of infarction-induced heart failure (n = 12 per group). In these rats, the flow velocity of renal artery, when measured at four weeks, is obviously lower in the operation group. Renal expression of renalase was reduced (protein: 0.476±0.043 for control, 0.248±0.029 for operation versus 0.636±0.151 for sham-operation) and this was associated with an increase in circulating norepinephrine (0.168±0.016 ng/mL for control, 0.203±0.019 ng/mL for operation versus 0.138±0.008 ng/mL for sham-operation).\\n\\nCONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Renalase expression is influenced by renal blood flow and impaired synthesis of renalase by the kidney may represent a potential mechanism underlying circulating norepinephrine accumulation in heart failure.", "link"=>"http://www.mendeley.com/research/renalase-deficiency-heart-failure-model-ratsa-potential-mechanism-underlying-circulating-norepinephr", "reader_count"=>18, "reader_count_by_academic_status"=>{"Professor > Associate Professor"=>2, "Student > Doctoral Student"=>2, "Researcher"=>4, "Student > Master"=>4, "Other"=>1, "Student > Bachelor"=>5}, "reader_count_by_user_role"=>{"Professor > Associate Professor"=>2, "Student > Doctoral Student"=>2, "Researcher"=>4, "Student > Master"=>4, "Other"=>1, "Student > Bachelor"=>5}, "reader_count_by_subject_area"=>{"Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology"=>3, "Medicine and Dentistry"=>8, "Agricultural and Biological Sciences"=>6, "Neuroscience"=>1}, "reader_count_by_subdiscipline"=>{"Medicine and Dentistry"=>{"Medicine and Dentistry"=>8}, "Neuroscience"=>{"Neuroscience"=>1}, "Agricultural and Biological Sciences"=>{"Agricultural and Biological Sciences"=>6}, "Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology"=>{"Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology"=>3}}, "reader_count_by_country"=>{"Canada"=>1, "United Kingdom"=>1, "India"=>1}, "group_count"=>0}

Here, we identify a potential mechanism underlying norepinephrine accumulation in a rat model of heart failure.</p><h3>Methodology/Principal Findings</h3><p>Initially, we constructed a rat model of unilateral renal artery stenosis (n = 16) and found that the expression of renalase, a previously identified secreted amine oxidase, was markedly reduced in the ischemic compared to the non-ischemic kidney (protein: 0.295±0.085 versus 0.765±0.171, <em>p</em><0.05). Subsequently, we utilized an isolated perfused rat kidney model to demonstrate that the clearance rate of norepinephrine decreased with reduction of perfusion flow. On the basis of these findings, we hypothesized the reduced renal blood supply which occurs in heart failure would result in impaired synthesis of renalase by the kidney and consequently reduced degradation of circulating norepinephrine. To verify this, we used a rat model of infarction-induced heart failure (n = 12 per group). In these rats, the flow velocity of renal artery, when measured at four weeks, is obviously lower in the operation group. Renal expression of renalase was reduced (protein: 0.476±0.043 for control, 0.248±0.029 for operation versus 0.636±0.151 for sham-operation) and this was associated with an increase in circulating norepinephrine (0.168±0.016 ng/mL for control, 0.203±0.019 ng/mL for operation versus 0.138±0.008 ng/mL for sham-operation).</p><h3>Conclusions/Significance</h3><p>Renalase expression is influenced by renal blood flow and impaired synthesis of renalase by the kidney may represent a potential mechanism underlying circulating norepinephrine accumulation in heart failure.</p></div>", "links"=>[], "tags"=>["renalase", "deficiency", "circulating", "norepinephrine", "accumulation"], "article_id"=>139131, "categories"=>["Medicine", "Cancer"], "users"=>["Rong Gu", "Wen Lu", "Jun Xie", "Jian Bai", "Biao Xu"], "doi"=>"https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0014633", "stats"=>{"downloads"=>36, "page_views"=>2, "likes"=>0}, "figshare_url"=>"https://figshare.com/articles/Renalase_Deficiency_in_Heart_Failure_Model_of_Rats_A_Potential_Mechanism_Underlying_Circulating_Norepinephrine_Accumulation/139131", "title"=>"Renalase Deficiency in Heart Failure Model of Rats—A Potential Mechanism Underlying Circulating Norepinephrine Accumulation", "pos_in_sequence"=>0, "defined_type"=>3, "published_date"=>"2011-01-31 02:32:11"}

Vacuum sizing
Technique used downstream of the Extruder to assist in forming the correct shape and size of Extrusion. Vacuum sizing is normally used where complicated Profiles are required (such as window profiles) or to avoid deformation of Extrusions before they set into their final shape. Vacuum sizing may also be used where Tubing with a close-tolerance on the outside diameter (such as pneumatic tubing) is required.
Vacuum sizing works by feeding the still molten extrudate through a sealed chamber in which a vacuum is being drawn. The extrudate passes through a series of vacuum sizing bushes or plates and is formed into it's final shape before cooling. Cooling in the vacuum bath may be using water or air.
Altec have over 30 years experience in manufacturing Plastic & Rubber Extrusions, Extruded Profiles and Tubing. We're quite rightfully proud of our reputation for consistently meeting the needs of customers over that time. Because we've remained small and focussed we've also remained more attentitive, more cost effective and more responsive than larger manufacturers.

Is the End of Windows XP Support Putting ATMs at Risk?
March 28, 2014 Microsoft windows, Safe Banking, Windows XP Rahul Thadani
The impending deadline of the discontinuation of Windows XP support by Microsoft (April 8, 2014) is fast approaching. Quick Heal has proactively warned retail users and enterprise users about the risks involved, but it is now time to understand a very different kind of threat associated with this approaching date.
Banking operations, especially ATM services, are likely to be affected beyond the EOL (End of Lifetime) date of Windows XP as a majority of the ATMs in India, and the world, still operate on Windows XP. ATM kiosks are powered by mini-computers and these computers require a stable operating system. Hence, Windows XP has been the popular choice for over a decade now.
However, with Microsoft cutting off support for XP, is this going to adversely impact ATMs in India and open them to hackers, malware and other security risks?
ATMs in India – Numbers & Facts at a Glance
While the exact figures for the percentage of ATMs in India that run on XP is not documented, the total number of ATMs in the country has steadily grown. So it would be fair to assume that a majority of these machines would be rendered vulnerable due to support being cut off for XP by Microsoft.
As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stats for November 2013, the number of operational ATMs in India are as follows:
On-Site ATMs
Off-Site ATMs
Total ATMs
Private Sector Banks
Foreign Banks
Link for checking these numbers – http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/ATMView.aspx
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is an umbrella organization that overlooks retail payments by the RBI and other banks in India. The NPCI also operates the National Financial Switch which is used for inter-connectivity between the ATMs of different banks. As per the NPCI, the total number of ATMs in India as of February 2014 was 155,387.
As per the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA), only 38% of the 425,000 ATMs in the United States would have migrated from Windows XP beyond the EOL date. This would leave more than 250,000 ATMs in the US still at risk.
ATMs in India are provided by several third-party vendors like NCR, Diebold, Wincor Nixdorf and Vortex.
Are the Security Risks Being Exaggerated?
While the dangers of using XP beyond April 8, 2014 are now known, there is a possibility that the security threats against ATMs have been misrepresented and exaggerated. After all, most attacks on ATMs in the past have been physical attacks at the hardware level and not at the software level. However, it is also plausible that this may change after the deadline as ATMs running XP will become more vulnerable.
Nonetheless, ATMs are usually too isolated and protected to launch a software attack against. If an attacker can hack into a bank’s system and launch a malicious code in all its ATMs, then the bank has more worrying concerns than upgrading XP on its ATMs.
Some notable points for why these threats may be exaggerated are as follows:
Though ATMs run on x86 processors and basic PC architecture, they are very different from standard PCs. They run on an embedded version of XP which vastly differs from the regular version of XP that is found in the market. So the security risks that regular users are exposed to, do not exist in this case.
ATMs do not connect to the Internet and pull updates as PCs do.
ATMs are also generally protected by heavy Firewalls and antimalware programs. Therefore, infiltrating them is not as easy as PCs.
It is also safe to assume that banks and financial institutions possess the awareness and technical expertise to safeguard ATMs against the security threats of running XP on them.
What Could be Stopping Banks from Upgrading?
So while the result of running XP on ATMs is not going to be as devastating as reported by many, upgrading it is still a recommended precaution. There are more stable and secure options available in the market so it would be reckless for banks to stick with systems that have been around for decades but are now obsolete.
However, here are some factors that may be stopping banks from initiating a migration plan:
Since the ATMs that run XP would have been around for many years, they would also need a hardware upgrade while upgrading the software. This would be both expensive and time consuming.
Another reason why some banks may be refraining from upgrading their ATMs is the Europay MasterCard Visa (EMV) enforcement that will most likely become mandatory in the next few years. EMV enforcement (known as RuPay in India) requires all debit/credit cards to have an integrated circuit card, or a chip, to avoid card fraud. This enforcement will require most old ATMs to be upgraded anyway. So it may make sense for ATM manufacturers to hold on and solve both these issues together. Read more about EMV here.
While the threat of using Windows XP beyond the EOL date exists for home users and enterprise users, it is perhaps unwise to assume that all the ATMs of the world would also be susceptible to the same risks.
There are several news stories that are doing the rounds about this and they are creating a false sense of panic about the repercussions. We would like to pitch in with our own two bits here and proclaim that ATMs are not going to be afflicted by the removal of XP support by Microsoft to the extent that it is being reported.

Rahul Thadani • April 1, 2014 at 10:18 AM
Hi J P Pawar,
Unfortunately, when we operate an ATM, we cannot see the OS that is powering that specific machine. This is because the machine is running an embedded version of the OS and this is also why Microsoft removing support for XP will not affect ATMs in a negative way.
Thanks for alert relate to Window XP.
Arvind Kumar • March 30, 2014 at 9:19 PM
Thanks for very usefull informations.
Thanks; I needed this information.
Quick heal is ultimate solution for security.
Anirban Chakraborty • March 30, 2014 at 10:28 PM
Thank You so much Mr. Rahul Thadani for this important discussion. ATMs are the most modernized place to fulfill many banking requirements of people belonging from all classes. Here security is the highest concern for all the stakeholders of an ATM.
But apart from this issue, there are some other problems still existing in the modern ATMs, irrespective of any bank. Running on embedded version of windows XP some ATMs hangs frequently. Customer’s account is debiting with no cash dispense is a common problem in many ATMs. People from urban ares can resolve this problem by contacting their respective banks immediately, but people from the rural areas are suffering by their loss of money. Because most of them still do not know how to use ATMs.
I have seen many ATMs which enables the user to use it with three languages. But many ATMs are running only with English. When someone choose some other language, screen becomes blue or dark. Most of rural people cannot understand English and hence they have to take other’s help. It is a serious risk.
Opening the ATM gate with card swipe is now is like a joke in many public or private bank’s ATM.
Sometimes Damaged or too old notes are dispensed from ATMs which are likely to unusable. Fear of getting fake notes from ATMs are growing in the minds of general people of remote areas. Some people are totally averse of using any ATMs of any bank.
I know somehow I not talking on the core subject but these all are some kind of risk. India is still underdeveloped and properly educating people about modern day’s banking and using ATMs is a huge task. We all need and we all demand for SAFE BANKING.
Yes, security issues at the programming platform of the ATM machines are the major concern. Thank you again for your valuable illustration. But we need to be more cautious especially in the case of internet banking. It still quickest but most dangerous.
Expecting a good article with some worthy notes from you in coming days about how to make transactions in the safest way though internet banking. Since personal computers and mobile devices are monitored by mostly individuals and many of them are unaware of security precautions.
Thank you again. Take care.
Hi Anirban,
Thank you for your valuable feedback and completely accurate points. All the issues that you have mentioned with regards to ATMs are completely true. Regrettably, this is the state most of our modern banking services and ATMs are in. Unfortunately, this is something we all have to deal with and hope that the situation improves over time.
For now the best thing to do for people in rural areas, is to locate one ATM which is reliable and stick to using that only. It may not be the closest ATM so it is not a convenient solution. However, it is better to use a reliable ATM that is a bit far, rather than an unreliable one which is extremely close by. Even people in urban areas have to deal with these issues with regards to ATMs, even though there are more ATMs to choose from.
Your feedback about Internet banking and what steps one should take to be safe while carrying out such transactions, is noted. You will most certainly find a good article about the same in the upcoming days.
Thank you once again for your insight and feedback. In the meantime, you can also spread the word about such issues and provide people with tips on how to be safe while operating ATMs and Internet banking as you seem to be quite knowledgeable about these matters.

Thiru • March 31, 2014 at 1:04 PM
Thank you Rahul Thadani for the info. i have a query! why do we need to upgrade our anti-virus every third day? why cant you’ll provide updates which will last for at-least a week? its just using my data(which i have to spend my pockets on) everytime i start my PC..
Hi Thiru,
The reason for the frequent updates is because with each passing day, malware is developed which can infiltrate existing versions of programs on your machine and even the antivirus software itself. To combat this, as soon as a threat is detected by us, it needs to be updated in all versions of Quick Heal software. A delay of even one day can leave machines vulnerable to attacks. It may prove to be a bit inconvenient with constant updates, but in order to avoid this, you can turn automatic updation OFF. But this will leave your machines vulnerable to attacks.

Rahul Thadani • April 1, 2014 at 9:58 AM
Hi Hosen,
When we operate an ATM, we cannot see the OS that is powering that specific machine. This is because the machine is running an embedded version of the OS and this is also why Microsoft removing support for XP will not affect ATMs in a negative way.

The NOMIS code for Porthmadog Jobcentre in High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd is 9618.
Claiming Jobseekers Allowance at Porthmadog Jobcentre
One of the main ways to claim JSA at any Jobcentre is to do so by calling the Jobcentre contact number. We are able to connect you through to their helpline team using our call forwarding number, and this is true of Porthmadog Jobcentre. In the past, they may have been able to process claims at their address, High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, but this generally isn’t the case any more. This is true whether you want to claim ‘new style’ JSA, Universal Credit, or most other benefits.
You can also start a claim for JSA at Porthmadog Jobcentre online through the Gov.UK website – you can do so by following this link, which will provide you with all the details you may require and walk you through the process toward making your claim. Please be aware that in order to use this service, you currently must fit the following criteria:
must not have received Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) in the last calendar month
must not want to claim Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) from a future date
must not want to reclaim JSA after finishing a training course arranged through your Jobcentre
must not have an appointee More Information on appointee
must not live in Northern Ireland (Northern Ireland customers click here)
You should also:
have a National Insurance number
have a phone number you can be contacted on
complete your own application
Please be aware that if you want to claim Jobseekers Allowance at the Jobcentre Plus in Porthmadog, at the time of writing the benefit is being phased out in favour of Universal Credit – and your claim may be moved over to UC at some point, if not from the beginning. This is the case in most Jobcentre locations, not only for those applying for JSA in Porthmadog.
Claim Jobseekers Allowance online Click here
It is advised that anyone looking to make an appointment at Porthmadog Jobcentre Plus, or indeed any Jobcentre location, should attempt to do so over the phone if at all possible. The official Government website says as much, pushing people towards a centre appointments line which should be able to allocate a slot for that that – ideally – will fit both your own needs and the needs of Porthmadog Jobcentre Plus.
This also goes for changing or cancelling an appointment at the Jobcentre Plus in Porthmadog, and regardless of what benefit you need to speak about (over time, this will likely be entirely about Universal Credit, but at the time of writing could include Jobseekers Allowance)
Porthmadog Jobcentre Plus appointments (this is a call forwarding service) 0903 871 2358
As time goes on, it looks as though Porthmadog Jobcentre Plus will mainly be processing Universal Credit claims. This is going to be the case nationwide, not only at the Jobcentre location at High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd. Whether you live local to LL49 9LS, or somewhere else entirely, the UK Government is attempting to move most benefits payments on to Universal Credit – and so it is likely that it will be the main way through which people receive benefits in the future.
While there has been some pushback to the move to Universal Credit, it seems as though the Jobcentre in Porthmadog, as well as every other location, will soon be exclusively using Universal Credit. According to the most recent advice from Citizens Advice, Universal Credit will replace:
income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
Working Tax Credit
These are known as ‘legacy benefits’. If you’re thinking of claiming one of these benefits for the first time, you might need to apply for Universal Credit instead. It depends where you live – check if you’re eligible for Universal Credit. You can also find out when Universal Credit is coming to your area on GOV.UK.
If you are looking to claim Universal Credit in Porthmadog, or would simply like the Jobcentre at High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd to move you over from one of the benefits mentioned above on to Universal Credit, it may be advisable to phone the central Jobcentre helpline in order to speak to an adviser about how best to go about this. You can speak to a Universal Credit helpline representative by calling our call forwarding number, which will connect through to the main support helpline.
Universal Credit Budgeting Advances (this is a call forwarding number) 0905 481 0140
Contact Porthmadog Jobcentre via the central helpline (this is a call forwarding service) 0903 871 2358
Much like JSA, Employment and Support Allowance in Porthmadog and across the country is slowly being phased out in favour of Universal Credits payments. If you are claiming ESA at your local Jobcentre in LL49 9LS, it may be the case that you are moved from this benefits payment and on to Universal Credit in the near future, if this has not already been the case.
However, if you would like to speak to a member of the ESA team about your benefits claim or payment, the government advice is to phone the central Employment and Support Allowance contact number, rather than attempting to dial your local Jobcentre in High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd. We have provided a call forwarding number below, which will be able to connect your call through to the main ESA helpline. From here, you should be able to resolve most Employment and Support Allowance enquiries, including issues around payments, complaints, applications, and much more besides.

Personal Independence Payment – also known at PIP – is one of the newest benefits, and also one of the most commonly claimed. it was brought in to replace Disability Living Allowance, amongst other things, and is mainly dealt with by the Department for Work and Pensions centrally. As this is the case, you may need to call the PIP support helpline in order to have your problem dealt with. It is unlikely that staff at Porthmadog Jobcentre will be able to assist with most PIP enquiries, either in person at High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd or over the phone.
If you are phoning to claim, please be aware that you will need the following (this is according to gov.uk/pip/how-to-claim):
your contact details, for
your National Insurance number – this is on letters about tax, pensions and benefits
your bank or building society account number and sort code
your doctor or health worker’s name, address and telephone number
dates and addresses for any time you’ve spent abroad, in a care home or hospital
Personal Independence Payment is intended to assist claimants with the extra costs associated with dealing with a disability or long-term health condition. It is not means tested, and is tax-free: if you living in the Porthmadog area and feel like you may be able to make a claim, it is advisable to speak to the PIP helpline team. If you are already claiming and have an issue – such as a payment being missed, or a complaint about Personal Independence Payment – it could also be worth calling the PIP contact number.
Once again, it is not advisable that you go to the Porthmadog Jobcentre Plus to deal with your Personal Independence Payment claim: instead, Government advice appears to suggest that phoning the PIP helpline could be the most effective way to get your problem resolved.

Income Support is a benefit that is aimed at supporting households that are on a low income to supplement their earnings. Those who are claiming may be able to receive other benefits too, but these are all means test and dependent upon individual circumstance. If you are living in the Porthmadog area and feel that you may be eligible to get Income Support payments, please be aware that all new claims must be made through one of the following two methods:
You can call the main Jobcentre helpline who are able to start new Income Support Claims. If you are searching for an Income Support contact number, we have created a call forwarding service that will be able to direct yoru call through. These calls will cost 7p per minute plus your network’s access charge.
You are also able to make a claim through the post, when you send a claim form through to Porthmadog Jobcentre Plus at their postal address, which is as follows:
Porthmadog Jobcentre, High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, LL49 9LS

The Jobcentre in Porthmadog should be able to deal with your Income Support claim – but please be aware that the benefit is slowly being phased out in favour of Universal Credit, and both existing and new claims may be moved over to Universal Credit soon.

Incapacity Benefit has now almost completely been replaced with Employment and Support Allowance. This is also the case for most claims that are being made through Porthmadog Jobcentre, and any new Incapacity Benefit claims that are directed to High Street, Porthmadog, Gwynedd will almost certainly be passed on to the ESA team. Even then, many ESA claims are being moved on to Universal Credit: it would be worth speaking to an Incapacity Benefit advisor if you feel you may be affected.
Both at Porthmadog Jobcentre and cross the UK, the Social Fund has long since been abolished, with the Government in 2013 abolishing it. This also applied to Community Care Grants and Crisis Loans. The Social Fund now mainly exists to administer Budgeting Loans, details of which can be found below.
If you have any questions, consider using the contact details below.

costs linked to moving house
maintenance, improvements or security for your home
travelling costs within the UK
costs linked to getting a new job
maternity costs
repaying hire purchase loans
repaying loans taken for the above items
If you are on Universal Credit, please be aware that you must claim for a Budgeting Advance instead – see below for this.

£464 if you’re part of a couple
£812 if you have children
How much you can get depends on whether you:

Horrifying Children: television, literature and popular culture from 1966-1998
Sunday, November 3, 2019 - 7:03am
Robert Edgar and John Marland: York Centre for Writing, York St John University
Twitter: @horrifyingbook
Email: HorrifyingChildrenBook@outlook.com
There has been an explosion of interest in the impact of children’s television and literature of the late C20th. In particular, the 1970s and 1980s are seen as decades that shaped a great deal of our contemporary cultural landscape. Television of this period dominated the world of childhood entertainment, drawing freely upon literature and popular culture, and much of it continues to resonate powerfully with the generation of cultural producers (fiction writers, screenwriters, directors, musicians and artists) that grew up watching the weird, the eerie and the horrific.

Short-circuits and Fused Visions: The Works and Networks of Claude Pélieu/ “Courts-circuits et visions disjonctées : œuvre et réseaux de Claude Pélieu
Peggy Pacini / University of Cergy Pontoise
Born in 1934 in the village of Beauchamp, near Pontoise (France), Claude Pélieu was an influential figure in a number of contemporary transatlantic artistic and literary scenes from the 1960s until his death in 2002, yet he remains relatively unknown and absent from historical narratives of the period. In the 1950s, he began drawing and experimenting with collage, and later studied painting in Fernand Leger’s atelier. He published his first poems in 1956 in the magazine Rendez-vous avec le sol, followed by further texts in 1959 in Henri Chopin’s Cinquième saison.

Midwestern Childhoods
Maggie Morris Davis
Sherwood Anderson’s 1928 Tar: A Midwest Childhood opens with the title character remembering his childhood and acknowledging that he has, within this narrative, created his childhood midwestern hometown almost entirely from his imagination, “one place all his own, the product of his own fancy” (4). “To tell the truth, Tar was trying,” the narrator promises, “to get at something it was almost impossible to get at in the reality of life,” the inevitable changes that disrupt and discount the intertwined memories of childhood and place (7-8).

Migration: Shifting to and fro and In-between
University of North Alabama English Graduate Conference
The English Department at UNA welcomes you to participate in this year’s Graduate Conference: Migration: Shifting to and fro and In-between
While influxes of immigrants/migrants/refugees arriving to the U.S. dominate conceptualizations of identity and belonging, it is vital to analyze our deeper understandings of migration. Migration—the act of moving from one place to another—exists in a number of ways, not just geographically. So, how do our limited ways of thinking of migration affect its potential in certain fields/entities/theories?

What is the Human: Concepts and Controversies
SUNY Binghamton Comparative Literature Graduate Student Conference
In the wake of environmental catastrophe, developing knowledge on animal and artificial intelligences, and the living legacy of coloniality, we are once again faced with these eternally recurring questions: What is the human? What is beyond the human? What are the consequences of shifting conceptualizations of the human? Many schools of thought examining eco-criticism, posthumanism, post-colonialism, and more now confront these previously established boundaries, interrogating the ways in which our construction of ‘the human’ and consciousness has left us blind to other agencies and existences in the world.
Death - A Graduate Student Conference
Brown University, Department of Religious Studies
Death casts a long shadow. Its significance is not merely qua biological event, but as something that compels a response from us throught out lives. Our responses have varied widely, according to what death is taken to be and which deaths (e.g., animal, environmental, that of others, one's own) are taken to be relevant. Mourning rites, martyrdom, and philosophical consolation: the centrality of these and other such responses within religious forms of life attests to the power and productivity of death as a feature of being mortal.

(Im)possibility marks a limit of available information, a threshold of representation, a cessation of action.

How might we orient ourselves toward that for which no available theory or representation is adequate?

Theories and Strategies for Teaching Creative Writing Online
Theories and Strategies for Teaching Creative Writing Online Edited Collection
To meet the needs of the growing body of online students, online pedagogy scholars persist in their efforts to ensure online education is as vibrant and effective as its onsite counterpart, if not more so. However, scholarship focusing on teaching creative writing, specifically, online is limited. As Bronwyn T. Williams rightfully points out, “the scholarship in creative writing pedagogy remains remarkably unengaged with digital technologies” (247). Given the youthfulness of creative writing scholarship, particularly when compared to other work that has taken the forefront in English studies, it is fair to assume that creative writing scholarship might be too limited at the present to include online education perhaps as it should.

Walcott in Hay-on-Wye, Wales, in 1993. Credit David Hurn/Magnum Photos
In Remembrance of Derek Walcott
I remember meeting Walcott when I was a college freshman: After a campus reading, there was a very serious English-department dinner at a mediocre Italian restaurant where, in a bid to one-up each other, Walcott and Brodsky ordered enough bottles of the most expensive wines on the menu for a wedding. They were already old men, and Walcott no longer drank, but they were playing, winking, puncturing the self-importance of what must have been one in a rote series of Very Serious English-Department Dinners. “He was the sort of poet,” Maxwell says, “for whom a new day was your first day on the planet.”
Like Hölderlin in German, Shakespeare in English or Walt Whitman in the American we speak, Walcott seemed to be inside the language itself, at one with it. If you were like me — alive in the falling days of apartheid and the Berlin Wall, entertaining the notion of being a writer — you might have seen in Walcott’s incandescent marriage of form and worldview something so new as to suggest another way of seeing. You’d have to reach back to T.S. Eliot to find an English-language poet as original and transformational. Eliot remade himself from American arriviste to the central figure in English letters.

Profile of Charles King
After years as Hollywood’s top African-American talent agent, Charles King is building an audacious new production company ~ with a vision for bringing long-neglected stories to the screen.

Obama’s Legacy
If we are ever to measure ourselves honestly on the state of race relations in America, it must be against Douglass’s original color line. We have made undeniable progress, but all the problems that bedeviled American during the Civil War remain. They are relevant to our electoral map and to our life experience, and should serve as a barrier to any inflated sense of victory of self congratulation. This is even more true now that the ghost of America’s colonial past has broken free of any attempts to control it. That ghost now sits in the White House, forcing us to reckon with it. The ghost is ugly and sinister and as native to this country as biscuits and gravy. We won’t be rid of it until our legal system, our economic system, our education system, and our individual nervous systems are rid of it. This is what it would mean to move beyond the color line.
March 2017, Harper’s Magazine, “Black Like Who? How Obama Negotiated America’s Racial Tightrope”
James Baldwin, New York, 1975 (Anthony Barboza/Getty Images)
Color Blind: A Pocket Guide to Race in America
… Nor are black writers allowed creative freedom to shrug off the mantle of race to create as any other writer, presumably from the fullness of their experience, imagination, and erudition. As James Baldwin wrote: “I wanted to prevent myself from becoming merely a Negroe; or, even, merely a Negroe writer.” What the mainstream would seem to want from black writers are only stories of blackness written from a marginal position, on one hand to serve as witness and on the other to affirm for mainstream readers that they remain white, and so privileged. They want affirmation that the inner life of black folks is more or less the way black folks exist in the white imagination. On the narrative level it means the books presented seldom tackle the deeper complexities of 21st-century life, in which human experiences are ever more varied, all identity in flux, even as we as a nation continue to pay interest on our original, colonial sin.
August 17, 2015, Matter
A Requiem for the Culture Wars
The job of the African-American novelist is assumed to be to write about race and nothing else.
… Books operate on a multitude of frequencies, of course. The ones we tune in to, or imagine we hear, augur as much as our dreams and secrets. Bloom’s argument then was nuanced and contradictory, but the debate turned quickly from books to politics. The canon itself was a cipher for left and right. One side argued for things to remain as they had been throughout most of American history. Those of us who were not served by things as they were argued there was much eternal and relevant for our times that was unknown in Greece, and plenty in our emulation of Rome to question. It is easy enough to lament the prejudice by which the Athenians killed Socrates. Much more difficult to discern the poison in one’s own point of view. By creating an argument between the canon and greater cultural openness, a system of false opposites was produced. If great books are larger than their writers (and the greatest are) they are definitely larger than the biases we project onto them.

Notes for a Spanish Odyssey
I first went to Spain in late 2010 for personal reasons. New York no longer made sense to me as a place to make art, at least not the kind of art I cared for, and my way of life was vanishing there. Culture had given way to the larger forces of 21st century America — technology, entertainment, money, and the forces they call up in us. The country no longer took its interior life seriously. Or perhaps I had only discovered, like any number of writers before me, my country and my calling to be mutually hostile. Whatever the reason, or quantum entanglement of reasons, I needed space for reflection and decided to jet.

The Puerto Rican crested toad is medium sized, ranging from 64mm to 120mm snout-vent length and is easily recognized by its turned-up snout and bony head crest. Adults are brown to yellow-brown in color with black or brown patches and their ventral surfaces are creamy white with some dark mottling. Females are larger than males and display a more prominent crest (Photo below). During the breeding season, males exhibit yellow coloring on their sides and have dark nuptial pads on their first and second digits of the front feet.

Goderich Auburn Rail Trail
Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail
The Goderich Auburn Rail Trail is 12 km long with a granular surface. It starts in Goderich at the northeast side of Menesetung Bridge. In the other direction is the Tiger Dunlop Heritage Trail which runs 3 km to the old CPR station and the harbour.
I cycled the GART and Tiger Dunlop in 2000. The first 5 km of GART had a good surface but the final 7 km varied from good to fair. It was bumpy in the fair sections with some soft and wet portions. In 2013 I am told that its current condition is pretty much the same.
The scenery is very nice close to Goderich with good views from the bridge. The rest is pleasant with farm fields and a couple of ponds. There are sections where overhanging trees make a tunnel over the trail. I saw bunnies and birds during my ride.
Trail Amenities
There are benches and kilometre markers. There is no water or washrooms or stores, except in Goderich.
Accessibility for Wheelchairs and Suitability for Children
Goderich end would be suitable for wheelchairs except for a steep stretch up to the bridge. The trail is suitable for children but be careful at road crossings.
The corridor is a former CPR line that was built in 1907. The line ran from Guelph to Goderich harbour where grain and ore were loaded onto freighters. It was discontinued in 1988.
To find the old Goderich CPR station follow the signs to the harbour. Parking is available at the station.
