title: St Luke's Church, Formby

text:
St Luke's Church is in St Luke's Church Road, Formby, Sefton, Merseyside, England, and is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool. The original chapel on the site was destroyed by a sandstorm in 1739. It was replaced by the present church in 1854, and this was extended in 1897. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

History

Little is known of the early history of the church, but the presence of a 12th-century font in the church is evidence that it stands on an ancient site.  This church was destroyed in a sandstorm in 1739. The idea for rebuilding a church on the site came in the 1840s from Rev Miles Formby, former vicar of St Thomas, Melling.  He died in 1849, but the building of the church was continued by his older brother Dr Richard Formby, who owned and donated the land. The money for building the church was given by Miles' widow and his sister, Mary. The church was dedicated to Saint Luke, the patron saint of doctors. It was designed by the Liverpool architect William Culshaw. At this time only the nave and porch were built, and these were consecrated by the Rt Revd John Graham, bishop of Chester, on 14 December 1854. The chancel and transepts were added in 1897, and paid for by Caroline, daughter of Dr Richard Formby.

Architecture

St Luke's is constructed in rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs.  It consists of a five-bay nave, north and south transepts, a chancel, a south porch, and a bellcote on the west gable.  Along the sides of the nave the bays are separated by buttresses and contain two-light windows containing Geometrical tracery.  At the west end are diagonal buttresses, a three-light window with a hood mould above, and a rose window over that.  The transepts contain two-light windows, and at the corners of the chancel are angle buttresses.  The east window has three lights, and surmounting the chancel is a parapet pierced with quatrefoils.

Inside the church is a simple Norman font decorated with rope moulding. In the porch is the gravestone of Richard Formby (died 1407), armour bearer to Henry IV.  This was brought from York Minster to replace a facsimile gravestone given by Richard Formby.  The stained glass in the west window includes medical inscriptions, and the rose window above contains depictions of local flowers. The original pipe organ was built in 1909 by the Orchestrelle Company.  This was replaced in 1958 by a two-manual organ by Henry Willis & Sons.  In about 1970 it was moved from the south to the north transept and altered by Francis Kitts Ainscough, but has since been removed from the church. The present organ is a three-manual electronic organ made by Phoenix.

Appraisal

The church was designated as a Grade II listed building on 19 July 1966. Grade II is the lowest of the three grades of listing and is applied to buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest". The architectural historians Pollard and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series comment that the interior is "somewhat dreary".

Associated features

The oldest gravestone in the churchyard is dated 1666. To the south of the church is a cross base of unknown age that was moved here from Cross Green in 1879.  It consists of three square steps with a socket for the stem of a cross, and is designated as a Grade II listed building.  There had been a wooden cross in the socket, but by 1985 it had been removed. It was replaced by a new wooden cross as a Millennium project in 2000. Further to the south is an inscribed stone about 420 mm high of unknown age that has been traditionally associated with funeral rites.  It has an irregular shape with one flat face inscribed with a cross on a stepped base surmounted by a circle.  It is also listed at Grade II. The third object to be designated at Grade II are the old village stocks dating from the 18th century, which were moved from a site near Cross Green to the west side of the churchyard.  The stocks consist of two stone piers with slots for wooden boards, and between the piers is an iron bar. Also in the churchyard is the grave of Percy French (1854–1920), Irish songwriter and entertainer.

Present day

St Luke's is located to the west of the town of Formby, and is surrounded by pine trees. It is an active parish church in the deanery of Sefton North, the archdeaconry of Knowsley & Sefton, and the diocese of Liverpool. The church arranges services on Sundays and weekdays, baptisms, weddings and funerals, and organises a variety of groups.

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic writes, "Living up to the legend of Randy Bachman might not be as overwhelming as living up to the legacy of John Lennon, but Tal Bachman does something neither Julian nor Sean Lennon did -- he made a debut album that has nothing to do whatsoever with his father's music."

title: Thompson Hall (University of New Hampshire)

text:
Thompson Hall, commonly referred to locally as "T-Hall", is one of the central buildings on the campus of the University of New Hampshire in Durham, New Hampshire, United States. A large brick and stone building, it was designed by Concord architects Dow & Randlett and built in 1892. It was the first building to be built on the Durham campus, and was named for Benjamin Thompson, a farmer who left his entire Durham estate to the state for use as the college campus.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

Architecture
Thompson Hall is a Romanesque Revival structure set on a knoll just south of Main Street, with a broad expanse of lawn in between. Its features are characteristic of the style, with heavy massing, granite trim, and a tall clock tower. Although it is nominally 2-1/2 stories in height, it has a raised basement below, and its slate hip roof is pierced by gables, giving four usable stories of space. The tower is a massive square structure, rising five stories to a pyramidal roof, and features an electronic carillon installed in 1952, and a Howard clock donated by the architects. The main block and tower have round turrets projecting from their corners.

History
Thompson Hall was the first building to be built on the new campus of the New Hampshire College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts, which had been founded in 1866 as a land grant college and was previously located near the Dartmouth College campus in Hanover.  Benjamin Thompson, a Durham farmer, died 1890, leaving an estate worth $400,000, with  of land, to the state for use as an agricultural school.  The state accepted his gift, and construction of Thompson Hall began in 1891, with a landscape plan for the campus developed by Charles Eliot.  The unfinished hall was the site of graduation in spring 1893, and was formally opened for classes that fall.

The hall has housed the college president's office since its construction, and its other spaces have seen a wide variety of uses.  At first it housed all of the college facilities, including classrooms, laboratories, a library, and a gymnasium.  The gymnasium moved into a new building in 1899 and the library moved out in 1907.  Over the following decades it came to house more administrative offices, as academic facilities moved to new buildings.  In 1952, the building's single bell was replaced by an electronic carillon.  The interior was extensively altered in 1986, retaining only a few rooms in their original appearance; one of these houses had museum displays relating to the university's history.

In popular culture
In the television series The Flash, Thompson Hall is used for an exterior shot of Central City University.

title: Josh Lelan

text:
Joshua Kipkemboi Whittaker Lelan (born 21 December 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender or right back for Farnham Town on a dual registration from Hayes & Yeading United. Born in England, he represents the Kenya national team.

Club career

Derby County
Born in Church Broughton, England, Lelann started his career within Derby County's youth system since joining the club when he was fourteen years old and was a season ticket holder. On 29 April 2012, Lelan appeared in the first team for the first time, as an unused substitute in a 1–1 draw against Peterborough United. Ahead of the 2012–13 season, he was given a number twenty–eight shirt and appeared in the first team matches as an unused substitute. On 6 April 2013, Lelan signed his first professional contract with Derby County after the completion of his two-year scholarship programmes.

Lelan's first taste of senior football came when he joined Football Conference side Gateshead on a one month loan on 20 September 2013. He made his debut in the 1–0 win over Tamworth three days later. Lelan returned to his parent club after making four appearances for Gateshead.

On 23 July 2014, Lelan joined Swindon Town on a one-month young loan. He made his debut on the opening day of Swindon's 2014–15 campaign at home to Scunthorpe United. On 29 August 2014, Lelan extended his loan at Swindon by a further month, which would see him stay at the club until 27 September 2014. Lelan made five appearances for the club, as he was recalled by his parent club.

At the end of the 2014–15 season, Lelan was released by the club.

Northampton Town
After being released by Derby County, Lelan joined Football League Two side Northampton Town on a 12-month contract. Upon joining the club, he was given a number twelve shirt.

Lelan made his debut for Northampton Town, starting the whole game in the right–back position, in a 1–0 win against Bristol Rovers in the opening game of the season. He helped the club keep a clean sheet in the next two matches against Blackpool and Exeter City. However in a match against Plymouth Argyle on 22 August 2015, Lelan received a red card for a second bookable offence, having been booked twice within the last two minutes of the game, as Northampton Town lost 2–0. In a match against Dagenham & Redbridge, he was at fault for the conceding the first goal of the game, as the club lost 2–1. As a result, Lelan lost his first team place in the right–back position, with Darnell Furlong and Brendan Moloney preferred as Northampton Town's first choice right–back. It wasn't until on 24 November 2015 when he made his return to the first team against Crawley Town, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute, in a 2–1 loss. In a follow–up match, Lelan made his first start for the club for the first time in two months against Yeovil Town and helped Northampton Town keep a clean sheet, in a 2–0 win. However, he, once again, lost his first team place to Moloney in the right–back position for the next five months. Following the club's promotion to League One, Lelan started in the remaining four matches of the season, playing in the right–back position.  At the end of the 2015–16 season, he went on to make thirteen appearances in all competitions. Following this, Lelan was released by Northampton Town, as the club's manager Rob Page expressed regret after his decision to release the player, saying "the lad has gone in and given a good account of himself. From a supporters' view it might be a little bit of a surprise, but we have made the decision [to release Lelan] as a group and what we think is best for this football club."

In July 2016, Lelan, in search of a new club, played as a trialist for League One team Gillingham in a 2–1 win over Concord Rangers and League Two team Plymouth Argyle in a 9–0 win over St Blazey. He was reported to be attending trials at Swedish 3rd tier side Västerås SK on 11 August 2016, but failed to win a contract. Lelan then returned to his former club, Derby County U23, featuring seven times between October 2016 and January 2017. On 2 December 2016, he was on trial with League Two side Leyton Orient playing against Southend United in a behind-closed-door friendly.

Crawley Town
On 26 January 2017, Lelan joined League Two side Crawley Town on a one-and-a-half-year deal after a short-term trial spell back at Derby County.

On 4 February 2017, he made his debut for the club in their 2–1 home defeat against Stevenage. Featuring for the full 90 minutes, Lelan was awarded Crawley Town's man of the match after an impressive debut despite the defeat. Since joining the club, he started in the next four matches, playing in either the centre–back and right–back positions. However in a match against Wycombe Wanderers on 25 February 2017, Lelan suffered an injury and was substituted in the 21st minute, as Crawley Town won 2–1. After missing one match, he returned to the starting line–up against Doncaster Rovers and helped the club keep a clean sheet, in a 0–0 draw on 4 March 2017. Lelan then followed up by starting in the right–back position for the next three matches for Crawley Town. However, he found his playing time, mostly coming from the substitute bench for the rest of the 2016–17 season. At the end of the 2016–17 season, Lelan went on to make twenty appearances in all competitions.

At the start of the 2017–18 season, Lelan continued to establish himself in the first team, rotating in playing either the centre–back, left–back position and right–back position. He then helped Crawley Town keep two consecutive clean sheets in two matches between 26 August 2017 and 2 September 2017 against Swindon Town and Yeovil Town. Lelan helped the club keep four clean sheets out of the five matches between 7 October 2017 and 28 October 2017. Since the start of the 2017–18 season, he started in every match until he was dropped to the substitute bench for the next two matches between 21 November 2017 and 25 November 2017. But Lelan made his return to the starting line–up against Mansfield Town on 9 December 2017 and helped Crawley Town keep a clean sheet, in a 2–0 win. He then regained his first team place for the next ten matches for the club. However, Lelan lost his first team place and was placed on the substitute bench for the rest of the 2017–18 season. At the end of the 2017–18 season, he went on to make thirty–three appearances in all competitions. On 14 May 2018, it was announced that Lelan would leave Crawley at the end of his current deal in June.

Aldershot Town
On 2 July 2018, following his release from Crawley, Lelan agreed to join National League side Aldershot Town.

He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game in the right–back position, in a 1–0 loss against Solihull Moors on 11 August 2018. Since joining Aldershot Town, Lelan quickly became a first team regular, playing in either the centre–back position and right–back position. The club were eventually relegated after a 1–1 draw against Hartlepool United on 13 April 2019. At the end of the 2018–19 season, he went on to make twenty–six appearances in all competitions. Following this, Lelan was released at the end of his first season at the club.

Hayes and Yeading

In early 2023, Lelan signed for Hayes & Yeading United

Farnham Town
On 22 September 2023, Lelan signed for Farnham Town on a dual registration from Hayes & Yeading United.

International career
On 5 August 2016 Lelan received his first call up for the Kenya for the first time and was eligible to play for the national team through his father. He made his international debut on 30 August 2016 in a match against Uganda, coming on as a substitute, in a 0–0 draw. After making his making his Kenya debut, Lelan reflected on his debut, saying: "It was a completely different style of football which I learnt a lot from and I'd like to play more games international games. Playing with Victor was a massively proud moment for me and my family.”.

title: John Harington, 4th Baron Harington

text:
John Harington, 4th Baron Harington (1384 – 11 April 1418) was an English nobleman who inherited the title of Baron Harington of Aldingham in Furness, Lancashire. He was the son of Robert Harington, 3rd Baron Harington and Isabella Loring, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Neil Loring.

John Harington was married to Lady Elizabeth de Courtenay, daughter of Edward de Courtenay, Earl of Devon, and was said to be in much favour with King Henry V of England (1413–1422). He accompanied the King on his first expedition to France in 1415 with a varied company listed at 25 men-at-arms, 11 men-at-arms and 20 archers, and 32 men-at-arms and 76 archers.

He returned to France for a second expedition in 1417, serving under Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester with a company of 86 archers and 29 men-at-arms, but he died on 11 February 1418 of causes unknown during the course of the campaign. Before he left England, he made a will dated 8 June 1417. In it, he directed that two priests be appointed "to celebrate divine service and to pray for the souls of my father and mother and all my ancestors". This led to the foundation of the Harington Chantry, for in that year a royal licence was granted by King Henry V for the foundation of a chantry "at the altar in the Chapel of the Blessed Mary", which was the altar in the south aisle of St. Dubricius Church and which is still called the Lady Chapel. However, no steps appear to have been undertaken to carry out his wishes until July 1474, about three years after the death of his wife Elizabeth.

His effigy lies in the Church of St Dubricius, Porlock in Somerset, alongside that of his wife. Although he died in 1418, his distinctive English-style plate armour can be dated closer to about 1440, and it displays some interesting transitional features.

title: Green Street School

text:
The Green Street School is a historic school building at 104 Green Street in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Built in 1890–91, it is the city's oldest surviving school, and a prominent feature of its urban core. It was converted into residences in 1983–84, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Description and history
The Green Street School is located in a densely built residential area south of the commercial business district of Somersworth, on a lot bounded by Union, Green, and School streets. It is a large brick-and-granite structure sited at the top of a hill in a residential neighborhood. Its setting and the slope of its steeply-pitched roof serve to make it appear oversized. It is two stories in height, with a hip roof that has gabled wall dormers on its long faces. Its principal facade faces west toward Union Street, and has eight bays. The center two bays on the ground floor house the main building entrance in a round-arch opening, while the remaining bays have rectangular sash windows with stone sills and lintels. The main roof cornice exhibits Queen Anne style brick corbelling.

The school was built in 1890–91. It is the oldest school building in the city, and was its most impressive public building. It served as a public school until 1927, and as a parochial high school from 1934 until c. 1970, when the city again assumed ownership of the building. It was built to serve a largely immigrant French-Canadian population settled in the surrounding neighborhood.

title: Jordan Turnbull

text:
Jordan Robert Turnbull (born 30 October 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central defender for League Two club Tranmere Rovers.

Turnbull began his career with the academy of Southampton, signing his first professional contract in 2013 and spending two seasons on loan at Swindon Town. He signed for Coventry City in 2016, and won the EFL Trophy in 2017 before suffering relegation. After spending six months on loan in Scotland with Partick Thistle, Turnbull returned to England and signed for Northampton Town. Having achieved promotion in 2020, he left the club to sign for Salford. In July 2022, Turnbull signed for Tranmere Rovers.

Internationally, Turnbull represented his country for the U19 and U20 teams.

Career

Southampton
Turnbull started his career within the youth system at Swindon Town but later joined Southampton Academy. He turned professional with Southampton, and signed a two-year extension in 2013 after making the step-up to Saints under-21 side. During his first season on loan at Swindon, he signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2018.

Loans to Swindon Town
After being permission to play in a friendly against Leeds United during pre-season, Turnbull joined Swindon Town on a season-long loan on 8 August 2014. He made his debut on the opening day of Swindon's 2014–15 campaign at home to Scunthorpe United, his first appearance in the English Football League. By November, Turnbull had played every minute of the season, and in an interview with the Swindon Advertiser, he said "I feel a lot more confident and I feel like I’ve grown as a player already", adding that playing against fully professional players had aided his development.

Turnbull scored his first goal for Swindon in a 3–3 home draw against Walsall in April. For his impressive performances he was voted as Swindon's "Player of the Season". Swindon reached the play-off final, where they were defeated 4–0 by Preston North End.

On 3 August 2015, Turnbull joined Swindon Town for another season-long loan spell. In the 2015–16 he played at left back on many occasions due to a centre half partnership formed between Adam El-Abd and Raphael Rossi Branco. Overall, Turnbull played 97 times for The Robins in all competitions.

Coventry City
On 15 August 2016, Turnbull joined Coventry City on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut on 20 August in a 3–1 defeat at Bradford City, when he was sent off in the 66th minute after he pulled down Billy Clarke.

He scored his first goals for Coventry when he scored twice in an EFL Trophy tie against West Ham Under-23s on 30 August 2016. He played five games in Coventry's run to the final, where Coventry defeated Oxford United 2–1 at Wembley Stadium to win their first trophy in 30 years. Turnbull played the final alongside Chris Stokes, a former teammate at Trowbridge Town, and said the day was "just a whirlwind and it was an unbelievable experience", and that winning the trophy alongside Stokes was a "special moment".

After Coventry suffered relegation at the end of the season, Turnbull was expected to activate a clause in his contract which allowed him to leave, but on 31 July, the deadline to trigger the clause, he left on loan to Partick Thistle.

Loan to Partick Thistle
Turnbull joined Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle on a one-year loan deal on 31 July 2017. After making 21 appearances in all competitions for The Jags, Turnbull was recalled from his loan in January 2018.

Northampton Town
The day after being recalled, Turnbull joined Northampton Town, for an undisclosed fee; the Coventry Telegraph reported there was no initial fee, but Turnbull had a sell-on clause should Northampton receive a fee for him as part of a future transfer. Signed by manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink due to injuries to defenders Aaron Pierre and Leon Barnett, Turnbull had scored two goals against The Cobblers the previous season for Coventry. Despite being signed a cover for injuries, Hasselbaink said it wasn't a short-term signing, praising him for his experience and versatility.

During his first full season at the club, Turnbull failed to start a game until October, but went on to make 34 appearances in all competitions following the sacking of manager Dean Austin, playing both as a defender and in centre-midfield. Continuing to play in midfield during the 2019–20 season, Turnbull began picking up regular bookings, and was suspended having received five yellow cards in eight games. Turnbull was reverted to the defence with manager Keith Curle changing the formation of the team to a 3–4–3, and was a regular during the first half of the campaign.

He missed three games between January and February 2020 after suffering a hip injury in an FA Cup match against Derby County. He left the club on a free-transfer in 2020, with Curle explaining that financial restructuring at the club meant Northampton couldn't afford to keep Turnbull on his current wages.

Salford City
In July 2020 he signed for Salford City on a two-year contract.

Turnbull was offered a new contract at the end of the 2021–22 season, opting instead to leave the club.

Tranmere Rovers
On 26 July, Turnbull signed for Tranmere Rovers on a two-year deal.

International career
Turnbull has represented England at under-19 and under-20 level.

title: National Action (UK)

text:
National Action was a British right-wing extremist and neo-Nazi terrorist organisation based in Warrington. Founded in 2013, the group is secretive, and has rules to prevent members from talking about it openly. It has been a proscribed organisation in the United Kingdom under the Terrorism Act 2000 since 16 December 2016, the first far-right group to be proscribed since the Second World War. In March 2017, an undercover investigation by ITV found that its members were still meeting in secret. It is believed that after its proscription, National Action organised itself in a similar way to the also-banned Salafi jihadist Al-Muhajiroun network.

History
National Action was founded in late 2013, after the decline of the British National Party (BNP) and English Defence League. The group was founded by Benjamin Raymond and Alex Davies, who were university students. Raymond refers to Davies as the founder of National Action and says he became involved after Davies. Activists who later joined National Action met on websites such as Iron March and 4chon. 4chon was created in 2011 when 4chan's administration deleted its /new/ board.

Davies joined the BNP Youth at 16, but found the group to be in "disarray". He describes the difference between the two groups as, "We're targeting universities regularly. That's something the BNP never had. We've built something in a few months the BNP didn't have in 20 years." Raymond and Davies considered the BNP to be a failure, and their analysis of the BNP's decline as a "moderate" far-right group, was key in their conception of National Action as a neo-Nazi organisation.

Early into the organisation's existence, actions focused on street activism. Tactics included leafletting, banner drops and protests. Some of these were organised alongside activists from the British Movement, another neo-Nazi organisation which largely collapsed in the 1980s.

Davies withdrew from a first-year course in philosophy at Warwick University in June 2014 after his involvement in National Action was revealed. A university spokesman said, "Any such allegations are taken seriously." Hope not Hate described Davies as the National Front's "deputy and front man".

Due to the secretive nature of National Action, it is not clear who the leadership of the organisation are. Former National Front member Ashley Bell (pseudonym Tommy Johnson) has been referred to as the organisation's leader, and is thought to be one of a number of activists behind National Action's founding document, according to Hope not Hate. Other individuals indicated to be former or current leaders in the organisation according to Hope not Hate include Wayne Bell, Mark James, Kevin Layzell, Ben Raymond and Alex Davies.

According to an investigation by the Daily Mirror, Benjamin Raymond (age 25 in June 2014) went on to lead the organisation. He is a former double-glazing salesman who graduated with a degree in politics from the University of Essex in 2013. By 2014, he had written on his blog, "There are non-whites and Jews in my country who all need to be exterminated. As a teenager, Mein Kampf changed my life. I am not ashamed to say I love Hitler." He has expressed admiration for Anders Breivik, the far-right terrorist, as "the hero Norway deserves". Raymond told BBC News in 2015 that "The source of all of the conflict in society is all the different racial groups that have been brought here. They have been brought here to create a people who are deracinated and easier to control."

"Tom", a member who was 18 years old at the time, was interviewed by The Huffington Post in March 2014. He named José Antonio Primo de Rivera of the Spanish Falange, Alexander Raven Thomson and Oswald Mosley of the British Union of Fascists, and writer Wyndham Lewis as inspiration for National Action. The group's strategy document twice quoted Adolf Hitler, which "Tom" called "a bit dodgy". He explained it by saying "What has been a successful nationalist movement? Oh it was [the Nazis]...That's why we're using [the Nazis]. They used it and they were able to gain power...Gottfried Feder, who was an economist and a member of the NSDAP, he had some good ideas".

Legal incidents
Jack Renshaw, a former Youth BNP activist and a senior spokesperson for the organisation, faced criminal charges over incitement to racial hatred, with his trial scheduled for 2 January 2018. Renshaw had called for Jews to be "eradicated" as "nature's financial parasite and nature's social vermin", and had said that the UK had backed the wrong side in the Second World War, since the Nazis "were there to remove Jewry from Europe once and for all". A person who had committed those same offences, whose name cannot be legally published in the UK, was found guilty at Preston Crown Court of inciting racial hatred on 8 January 2018.

In November 2017, six people – 31-year-old Christopher Lythgoe, from Warrington, Garron Helm, 24, of Seaforth, Merseyside; Matthew Hankinson, 23, of Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside; and Andrew Clarke, 33, and Michael Trubini, 35, both of Warrington, along with Jack Renshaw, were charged with being members of National Action, which is banned in the UK. Two of the men, Lythgoe and Renshaw, were also charged with being involved in a plot to murder the West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper with a machete, and of threatening to kill a police officer. In July 2017, a former National Action member, Robbie Mullen, reported the plot to the anti-racism organisation Hope not Hate, who reported the matter to the police.

The six faced trial on 11 June 2018 at the Old Bailey in London. The next day, Renshaw pleaded guilty to plotting to murder Rosie Cooper, and to threatening to kill a police officer. The following month, Hankinson and Lythgoe were found guilty of being members of National Action and jailed for six years and eight years, respectively. The presiding judge, Mr Justice Jay, told Hankinson, "You are a neo-Nazi who glorifies and revels in a perverted ideology, has a deep hatred of ethnic minorities and Jews and has advocated violence to achieve your objectives." Helm was found not guilty of being a member of the group and Lythgoe was found not guilty of encouragement to murder for allegedly giving Renshaw permission to kill Ms Cooper on behalf of the group.

According to the BBC and The Independent, six people – five men and a woman – were arrested in co-ordinated raids by the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit, and were charged with being members of National Action. The six – Nathan Pryke, 26, from Cambridge; Adam Thomas, 21, and Claudia Patatas, 38, both of Banbury, Oxfordshire; Darren Fletcher, 28, of Wednesfield, Wolverhampton; Daniel Bogunovic, 26, of Leicester; and Joel Wilmore, 24, of Hazel Grove, Stockport – appeared in court in January 2018 and entered pleas of not guilty. All except Patatas gave their nationality as British; Patatas is Portuguese. Several of the group also faced additional charges. Thomas, Patatas and Bogunovic were convicted in November 2018. (see below) In December 2018, the six received prison sentences of between five and six-and-a-half years.

Two National Action members were imprisoned for eight years each at the Crown Court in Birmingham. In March 2018, Corporal Mikko Vehvilainen, 34, was described as a recruiter for National Action, a key part of whose strategy was to expand its membership within the armed forces. A self-confessed racist who believes in a coming "race war", Vehvilainen wanted to establish an all-white stronghold in the Welsh village of Llansilin. When arrested at his house there, police found a photograph of him giving a Nazi salute at a 1917 memorial to his native Finland's independence and an arsenal of weapons and swastika bunting. Another soldier, Private Mark Barrett, like Vehvilainen a member of the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment, was acquitted but is believed to have been dismissed by the Army. Alexander Deakin, 24, unemployed, was the Midlands regional organiser. He was seen on CCTV putting up racist stickers at Aston University. Deakin spread racist propaganda from his bedroom at his parents’ house, telling fellow National Action members via encrypted chat that in a future "race war" they would have a "KKK-themed death squad", alluding to notorious American group the Ku Klux Klan. He bragged that counter-terrorism officers were incompetent and would never catch him, but he was found hiding in a cupboard when he was arrested. He was sentenced in April 2018.

In May 2018, Wayne Bell, described as a "poster boy" for the organisation, pleaded guilty to two counts of stirring up racial hatred and three counts of possessing multiple items in order to destroy or damage property. The court heard that he had written neo-Nazi graffiti on pillars and lamp posts in his home town of Castleford, and that he had made hundreds of racist and antisemitic posts on Twitter and the Russian social media site VKontakte. He was sentenced to four years and three months in prison.

In March 2020, four people – Alice Cutter, 23, Mark Jones, 25, both of Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire; Garry Jack, 24, of Shard End, Birmingham; and Connor Scothern, 19, of Nottingham – were convicted of membership of National Action. In June 2020, Cutter, Jones and Jack were sentenced to prison for terms of between three and five-and-a-half years, while Scothern was to be detained in youth custody for 18 months. The court heard that Cutter took part in a "Miss Hitler" beauty pageant as "Miss Buchenwald".

In April 2021, a serving Metropolitan Police officer, Benjamin Hannam, was convicted of membership of a proscribed organisation, two counts of fraud by false representation, two counts of possession of documents likely to be of use to a terrorist and possession of a prohibited image of children. Hannam had attended National Action meetings in 2016 and 2017 before joining the police force, claiming to have had no connections to the far-right.

In late April 2021, National Action's co-founder, Benjamin Raymond, was charged with alleged offences relating to his activities in the organisation, including membership in the group after it was declared a terrorist organisation by the British government. In November 2021 he was found guilty of being a member of a banned terrorist organisation, possessing a manifesto by Anders Breivik and a guide to homemade detonators.

Policy and actions
 Davies described the group as "like the BNP but more radical". National Action self-styles itself as a "revolutionary nationalist" organisation which grew out of a failed offshoot within the youth wing of the British National Party and has made effective, large-scale use of social media and blogging platforms.

National Action wanted to reintroduce Section 28, which prohibited the "promotion of homosexuality" by local councils. On immigration, "Tom" said, "With coloured people we'd say big no to them coming over. But with [white people] we'd be a bit more lenient."

The group has distributed its material on at least 12 university campuses. In an interview with The National Student in 2014, an anonymous organiser for National Action explained why they target universities. "Very soon they are going to find out just how hard the system has screwed them – if they knew what we know now we would have an army. The last Labour government aspired to send 50% of 18- to 21-year-olds to university and the total student population has grown exponentially over the past decade. That is 50% of youth who are going to be very angry burger flippers." He also promised, "This year will be a reign of terror", and described people who are in interracial relationships as "pathetic internet nerds who can't get laid and STD-infested sluts".

In October 2014, Garron Helm, a National Action member from Merseyside, was sentenced to four weeks in prison for sending a message via Twitter to MP Luciana Berger relating to her Jewish background, which was found to be "an offensive, indecent or obscene message". "I'm not a lunatic for embracing martyrdom, I've just accepted that I could be more use in death than life", he wrote in early 2015. Helm served two weeks of his sentence before being released. In November 2014, ten National Action activists were arrested in dawn raids on suspicion of conspiring to cause criminal damage to Berger's office; they were all bailed. No further action was taken against them. National Action's campaign against Berger was supported by the US-based neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, which offered advice on how to set up untraceable Twitter accounts in order to send abuse.

In March 2015, National Action organised a "White Man March" on the Quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne during which police arrested nine people; those attending included North East representatives of the British National Party (BNP) and neo-Nazis from Eastern Europe. In June the same year, 26-year-old Zack Davies, who told police that he was a member of National Action, was found guilty of the attempted murder of Sarandev Bhambra, a Sikh man and trainee dentist, in Mold, Flintshire. Dr Bhambra was struck in the head and nearly lost a hand in the attack, suffering "life changing injuries". Davies claimed this was revenge for the murder of Lee Rigby and chanted "white power" as he launched the attack. Davies was given a life sentence the following September, and is to serve 14 years before being considered for parole. National Action publicly denied any association with Davies or his actions.

In August 2015, the group attempted to hold a second "White Man March" in Liverpool. Strong opposition from the Anti-Fascist Network and local activists forced the organisers to cancel the march and take refuge in the lost luggage collection point at Lime Street Station. Tensions were raised by a letter to Mayor Joe Anderson threatening race riots; National Action claimed this was a forgery by an agent provocateur.

In November 2016, The Sunday Times reported that "fears that far-right activists may be grooming a new generation of Hitler Youth in the UK emerged" after stickers from National Action proclaiming parts of Liverpool to be a "Nazi-controlled zone" appeared. The group also held a number of marches and demonstrations on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday proclaiming that "Hitler was right", and celebrated the election of Donald Trump as President-elect of the United States under the slogan of "white power".

National Action has called for a "white jihad" to "cleanse Britain of parasites" using leaflets, stickers and video. Members of the group stated in speeches that there was a "disease of international Jewry", and that "when the time comes they'll be in the chambers".

Responses
"Tom" reported that the group was monitored by the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit. Gerry Gable, former editor of the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, said, "National Action are highly organised with a lot of foreign money backing them up. They're not looking to attract thickos who just want a fight. They want thinkers who are prepared to die for National Socialism." Scotland Yard was reported to be "very concerned" by the group, but gave an official response that "We cannot discuss details of individuals or organisations that may or may not be the subject of an investigation."

Ian Austin, a Labour Party MP whose adoptive father fled Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, said of National Action, "Seventy years ago, British heroes were fighting to liberate Europe from the scourge of Nazis and fascism. It's absolutely disgusting to see young British people praise Hitler today."

On 5 September 2017, it was reported that four serving male members of the British Army had been arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 on suspicion of being members of National Action: a 22-year-old from Birmingham, a 32-year-old from Powys, a 24-year-old from Ipswich and a 24-year-old from Northampton. A fifth man was reported to have been detained in Cyprus. As a result, three men, including two British soldiers, were charged with terrorism offences. On 27 September 2017, eleven men were arrested in further raids across England and Wales.

On 3 January 2018, six people – five men from Cambridge, Banbury, Wolverhampton, Leicester and Stockport, and a woman from Banbury – were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism, namely on suspicion of being a member of a proscribed organisation, National Action. Those arrested were aged between 21 and 37.

Lead-up to proscription
In November 2016, The Sunday Times reported that National Action was supporting Thomas Mair, the murderer of the Batley and Spen Labour MP Jo Cox, posting "only 649 MPs to go!" on social media. National Action also supported Mair personally, saying, "Don't let this man's sacrifice go in vain," and altered its listing on Google to state, "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain!", a slogan Mair had said to a court when asked to give his name following Cox's murder. The organisation also supported the Orlando nightclub shooting and has called for graphic and violent attacks on police officers in the UK. Mair, however, appeared to have little involvement with National Action or any other white supremacist groups within the UK.

Before it was banned, the organisation was the most active in Yorkshire, where half of the referrals to the government's anti-extremism strategy have been about the far-right. In October, the Jewish Chronicle reported that the organisation's leaflets "including swastikas, a Nazi salute and the phrase 'no tolerance'" were spotted in Hull, Liverpool, Glasgow and Cardiff. The Hull Daily Mail reported, "The first evidence of the group in the city was in July when graffiti appeared on a wall on George Street in the city centre with an incorrectly painted Swastika, the letters NA and a logo." In a newsletter, National Action claimed that although the group was "not entirely sure who could  done" the graffiti, "it seems we have got quite a following in Hull, with graffiti (even though backwards) of swastikas and an attempt at our logo and the initials NA popping up around Hull and triggering the reactionary left."

National Action has promoted the antisemitic conspiracy theories that Jews were behind the 11 September attacks and has labelled Cox the "patron saint" of grooming gangs, according to The Sunday Times. At a secret meeting of the Yorkshire Forum, Renshaw said (in a video seen by The Times) that they need to adopt a "killer instinct". According to him, "As nationalists we need to learn from the mistakes of the national socialists and we need to realise that, no, you do not show the Jew mercy."

The group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000, making it a criminal offence to support or be a member after 16 December 2016. In laying an order for National Action's proscription, the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, described the group as "a racist, antisemitic and homophobic organisation which stirs up hatred, glorifies violence and promotes a vile ideology". National Action is the first far-right organisation to be proscribed in the UK since the now-defunct British Union of Fascists in the 1940s. National Action is one of only four terrorist organisations based in Great Britain to be proscribed (one being the Sonnenkrieg Division, a splinter of the System Resistance Network (a National Action alias), and the other two being radical Islamist organisations). Its ban was seen as an acknowledgement by the UK government that the far-right was on the rise, and figures released by the National Police Chiefs' Council show that the number of far-right referrals to the anti-terror Prevent programme increased from 323 cases in 2014–15 to 561 in 2015–16.

Aliases

Scottish Dawn
Suspicion that some National Action followers simply swapped membership of National Action for membership of the group Scottish Dawn, in order to circumvent the ban, prompted the Home Office to consider whether the new group should be outlawed too. Scottish Dawn was established shortly after National Action was banned and described itself as a "new Identitarian social movement formed from various organisations in 2017 to develop a coherent conception of Scottish identity and secure its place within Scottish politics".

NS131
NS131 (National Socialist Anti-Capitalist Action) was another group that appeared after National Action was proscribed and was "a platform dedicated to promoting and spreading NS street art and physical propaganda" according to its website. On 28 September 2017, after eleven suspected members across the country were arrested, the government announced that both Scottish Dawn and NS131 would be banned as aliases of National Action.

System Resistance Network
System Resistance Network (SRN) is a group that is believed to have been putting up homophobic and anti-refugee posters in Dundee, Swansea, Cardiff and Bristol, and is claimed by Hope not Hate to be another alias of National Action. SRN was formerly known as Vanguard Britannia, the British chapter of American alt-right, neo-Nazi group Vanguard America. Former members of the SRN are suspected to have been involved in the creation of the Sonnenkrieg Division, an offshoot of the American neo-Nazi terrorist organisation the Atomwaffen Division.

In June 2021, Andrew Dymock a neo-Nazi student associated with SRN was found guilty of terror and hate offences.

TripleK Mafia
During the 2018 trial of three people for being members of National Action, it emerged that a successor organisation named the TripleK Mafia had been set up by the defendants. This rebrand was made in an attempt to "shed one skin for another"; the name was another reference to the Ku Klux Klan. The group name was misspelled as "TrippleK" four times in new posters by member Joel Wilmore. Two of the defendants in the trial, Adam Thomas, 22, and Claudia Patatas, 38, had named their newborn baby Adolf in honour of Hitler, and posed for photographs with the child while dressed in KKK robes and with swastika flags. The third defendant was a "prominent member of National Action's Midlands chapter", Daniel Bogunovic, 27. All three were convicted after a seven-week trial at the Crown Court in Birmingham.

In popular culture
The ITV drama, The Walk-In, tells the story of the National Action plot to behead then-MP Rosie Cooper (now chair of an NHS Foundation Trust).

Alistair Austin Rothwell Groves is a British record producer, currently based in Liverpool, England. He is renowned for his focus on guitar based popular music. He works at The Motor Museum, Liverpool and is a guest lecturer in music production at Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts.

Career
Groves took his first steps into music production whilst a student at Liverpool John Moore's University in around 2005. After success in setting up a small, basic recording studio in his student house, an opportunity came about to create and manage Sandhills Studio, an independent recording studio in the Vauxhall district of Liverpool.

Through Sandhills, Groves built a reputation as a reliable and exciting engineer, whilst developing his ear and own ideas in production. He worked with a growing clientele at Sandhills, from small, independent bands to world famous musicians, including Elvis Costello, Ian Broudie and Claire Sweeney. After several successful years during a time of general upheaval in the industry, Groves left Sandhills in 2012 to become manager and resident producer of the Motor Museum, Liverpool. In early 2015, Groves traveled to Santorini, Greece to engineer Bring Me the Horizon's fifth studio album That's the Spirit, having worked with the band on the first single for the album ("Drown") at the Motor Museum the previous year.

Groves recently recorded the debut single "Lost and Found" for the Blackpool based band, The Slumdogs.

title: Matt Thomas (ice hockey)

text:
Matt Thomas (born October 25, 1975) is a Canadian ice hockey coach and is currently an assistant coach with the Providence Bruins in the American Hockey League.

Career
Following in his brother, Arts footsteps Matt Thomas started his college career as a player for RIT during a period where the team was at the top of the Division III ranks. The Tigers finished as national runners-up in his sophomore season and continued with two more strong campaigns (including Thomas being captain in his final year), before Thomas ended his playing days and turned to coaching. Thomas stayed with RIT for one season as an assistant before moving on to Division I, signing up with Maine in the early 2000s. Thomas arrived in Orono, Maine, just after Shawn Walsh was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and helped the team through the difficult period when Walsh died the following year and the team was turned over to Tim Whitehead.

Thomas remained under Whitehead for one year before heading to the professional ranks, serving as an assistant for the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies in the ECHL for two seasons before being promoted to head coach and director of hockey operations for the 2004–05 season. After the 42-win debut, Thomas was offered a position with the Fresno Falcons and moved west to take the job. Thomas continued his success in the ECHL with a 43-win, 100-point season, ending with Fresno reaching the conference finals in 2006. Thomas was able to get the Falcons to reach the playoffs in each of the following two seasons, but in 2008–09, with the economic downturn, Fresno announced that they would cease operations 30 games into the season, ending Thomas' tenure with the team. Thomas did not remain unemployed for long as his former team, since having relocated, offered him the chance to turn around their season and Thomas agreed to take over as head coach for the Stockton Thunder.

With the Thunder, Thomas was able to get the team back on the right track and make the playoffs is his half-season behind the bench. The next year he reached the conference finals for the second time and was finally able to get into the championship series in 2013. With his success at the minor professional level, Thomas was offered the chance to improve the NCAA Division I Alaska-Anchorage, which had not had a winning season in 20 years and agreed to take over from the departed Dave Shyiak. The Seawolves then produced their first above-.500 record since joining the WCHA. The following year saw the team produce 10 fewer wins and the program trended downward, finally bottoming out in 2018 with a record of 4–26–4. After his contract expired, Thomas left the program to return to professional hockey.

On 7 August 2018, he returned to the ECHL and was announced as the new head coach of the Cincinnati Cyclones. In his first season in Cincinnati, he led the team the regular season title and won the John Brophy Award for ECHL coach of the year. Prior to the start of the 2021–22 season, head coach Thomas was hired by the AHL's Providence Bruins as an assistant coach.

title: Bernward Monument

text:
The Bernward Monument (German: Bernwardsdenkmal) is a larger-than-life-sized bronze statue of Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim in the  in Hildesheim. It was made by  in 1893 for the nine hundredth anniversary of St. Bernward's enthronement as Bishop of Hildesheim. On 7 September 2011, in the course of the renovations of Hildesheim Cathedral it was temporarily relocated to the garden of house 24, Domhof.

The monument up to 2011
The statue stood on a broad cubic base of roughly hewn stone blocks in the forecourt of the northwestern entrance to the cathedral. The statue was positioned so that it faced towards people approaching the cathedral from the east (i.e. from town), welcoming them before they entered the cathedral itself. Behind the statue, the ground-level is raised to the height of the base. Steps next to the monument allow the visitor to climb up to roughly the same level as the bishop.

The bronze statue, covered by a patina and weathered by wind and rain, depicts the saint in episcopal garb, with alb, stole, maniples, mitre and crosier. With these, the artist attempted to be historically accurate, roughly imitating the depictions of Bernward's chasuble preserved in the cathedral museum. However, the mitre and crosier, with the coronation of the Virgin depicted in the crook, are based on examples from a century or two after Bernward's death.

The Bishop stands upright, bending down slightly to look at the viewer. His right hand is raised in benediction, his left hand holds his coriser at about the same height. The chasuble drapes down from this point. The forward position of his left foot and the forward tilt of the crosier imbues the statue with forward momentum. This is emphasised from behind by his billowing cloak and hair. His narrow, serious, no longer youthful face seems to look over his people with in concern and care. At the point where the crosier touches the ground there is a model of St. Michael's Church, which Bernward founded and in which he was buried. It here serves as a symbol of the saint. The depiction of the church corresponds to its modern shape (which is basically the same as the original building), not to its appearance in the nineteenth century.

Creation

Even more than his predecessors, , Bishop of Hildesheim 1871-1905 modelled himself on Bernward and put the saint ever more prominently before the eyes of his diocese. With Kulturkampf and the consolidation of the catholic church in the new German empire ongoing, Bernward's political deeds, especially his role as tutor and advisor to Emperor Otto III and Emperor Henry II gained great symbolic value. Already in the 1870s, therefore, there were plans for a monument. But it was only in 1885, in a pastoral letter on the subject of Bernward that Bishop Sommerwerck made an open appeal, seeking support for the planned monument. The appeal had a surprisingly enthusiastic reception. Even the Prussian government indicated its willingness to cooperate from the outset.

Out of eight submissions, that of C.F. Hartzer was selected. The substructure which he had envisioned was not accepted, however, and Hartzer immediately produced a new design, with the help of the architect Christoph Hehl, who was a close friend of his.

On 28 September 1893, the day before Michaelmas, Bishop Sommerwerck revealed the new monument to a great audience of diocesan clerics, government officials, and the people of Hildesheim in a festive ceremony, calling the saint:

Original location

Originally the Bernward monument stood further north, roughly halfway between the cathedral and the bishop's house and looked down from the top of a podium which was more than three metres high towards the Großen Domhof to the north. This was the same location in which the Bernward Column stood until it was moved inside the cathedral for conservation reasons in 1893.

The pedestal, made from light grey granite had neoromanesque architectural decorations and was divided into several different levels of decreasing size. On the rounded central level there were four bronze reliefs: the front one bearing Bernward's name and dates, the other three showing key scenes from his life, which showed him as a teacher, a church leader, and an artist - indicating the contemporary meaning of the monument. Immediately below the statue itself was a copy of the Cross of Bernward, which explains why this symbol is absent from the statue itself.

The bronze reliefs were taken and melted down for war purposes in 1943. The statue itself was put in storage and escaped the destruction of Hildesheim. After the war, the cathedral chapter decided that the tall podium was no longer appropriate and it was removed in 1966.
