Problems with rowdy renters prompted Muskoka Lakes council to take another look at potential licenses for short term renters recently.
Mayor Phil Harding said the Township needs to do a more fulsome review of the current noise by-laws. He said he isn't personally in favour of licensing but he agrees there needs to be increased penalties for offenders.
They also discussed the situation in Blue Mountains, where specific areas in their OP and Zoning By-laws were established which would allow short-term rentals. Blue Mountains passed a licensing by-law and hired a number of enforcement officers. However they experienced a number of legal challenges and in the end it cost in excess of $1 million to set up the new licensing by-law.
The Township has also created a code of conduct for residents and guests to Muskoka Lakes. It encourages them to introduce themselves to their neighbours and handle problems in a polite manner, among other suggestions.

Dom Senior looks to set up a Dewsbury Celtic attack during their victory over Heworth.
It was a fourth straight win for Celtic and a fifth in their opening seven matches as they moved level on 10 points at the top with Leigh East and Waterhead Warriors.
The Celtic support in Crow Nest Park must have feared their side's recent winning run was in jeopardy when tries from Liam Watling and Billy Sturdy, both converted by George Elliott, put Heworth in control.
Celtic stormed back after the break, scoring 22 unanswered points courtesy of a Billy Yarrow brace, tries by Anthony Dunford and Danny Thomas, and three Charlie Heaton goals.

El Alcazar de Segovia: A Spanish Fairytale. Photos, Stories and Mysteries
The fairytale good-looks of the Alcazar de Segovia have made it Spain's most famous castle.
It's also rumoured that this little fortress was the inspiration behind Cinderella's Castle in Walt Disney World.
The Alcazar is located in the stunning town of Segovia, which is an-hour-and-a-bit from Madrid – and so a popular daytrip from the capital.
I visited the Alcazar in Segovia in about 2005, when on a study exchange to Spain. I remember first catching sight of a photo of it in a the Lonely Planet, and then making a bee-line straight to the town to explore this amazing piece of architecture.
The Alcazar in Segovia is undoubtedly the most famous castle in Spain. Credit: James.Gordon6108, CC-BY-2.0.
A Ship Shaped Fortress
Most castles and fortresses have been founded upon spots which offer a natural defensive advantage. The Alcazar of Segovia is particularly special in that it was built upon a large rock promontory, which is shaped rather like the bow of a ship.

Indeed, if you stroll along el Camino de la Cuesta de los Hoyos, the small, wooded road which runs in front of the castle, it almost appears as if the alcazar is sailing towards you – cutting through the arid plains of Spain, perhaps in search of the New World.
The castle's rocky outcrop has been shaped, over time, by the waters of the Rio Eresma, which flows gently in front of the fortress.
Indeed, the confluence of the Rio Ciguinuela and the Rio Eresma, which meet in the centre of Segovia, made this an attractive spot to found a town, way back in Roman times.
The Romans transformed the land into a sizeable city, and endowed Segovia with its spectacular aqueduct – which is a tourist-masterpiece in itself.

Important Islamic Influences
Spain was forged in Early Modern times, during the tumultuous period when the Moors (Muslims from North Africa) were expelled from Southern Spain by the Iberian people from the Northern lands.
Islamic warriors built the first wooden fortress where the Alcazar stands today – using the spot to mark their influence over the surrounding lands.
However, because their early fortifications were made of wood, we've little evidence of these structures. IThe Spanish reconquista resulted in the capture of Segovia as early as 1085, meaning that the majority of castle architecture is Spanish in origin.

Despite this, Islamic building styles became increasingly fashionable in Early Modern Spain (ironically, after the Moors were expelled from the country), and most of the present buildings of the Alcazar de Segovia bear homage to Islamic ancestry.
This is clearly visible in some of the modern castle stucco-ceilings, and the elaborate reading-windows at the front of the fortress. Indeed, the word Alcazar actually stems from the arabic 'Al'qasr', meaning fortress.
Probably the first buildings of the Alcazar were laid in about the 1200s, but from the c13th onwards, Fernando III and subsequently Alfonso X built the majority of the rooms we see today.
The next burst of building activity took place in the mid 1500s, with the last major additions made in 1587.

The Segovia Alcazar was a place of real ceremonial importance back in Early Modern times: Isabella, the monarch who marked the Spanish golden age, was crowned in the Alcazar in 1474.
Magnificent Rooms
The Alcazar de Segovia is arranged around two main courtyards: the larger being el Patio de Armas, and the smaller one, el Patio del Reloj.
Presently, visitors are able to explore twelve of the castle rooms which open onto these two main courtyards; and each of the rooms is an intriguing mix of Gothic, Romanesque and Moorish influences.

The most notable of all rooms is the Hall of Kings, which can be found at the front of the castle – that's the bow of the ship.
The hall filled with 52 intricate, raised portraits of various Spanish monarchs of Castile and Leone. These little statuettes form an elaborate, golden-plated frieze which encircles the upper part of the room – a pretty spectacular overview of Spanish history.
Note that the ornate, Islamic ceiling is a modern replica of an original destroyed by fire.
At the opposite end of the castle, you'll encounter the impressive Tower of Juan II, foundations of which were laid in the 1300s.
This geometric edifice (rather like a upturned matchbox) is more than 80m in height. You'll note that its arched windows have a distinctive, Arabic style – and, as an aside, the tower was used as a jail in Early Modern times. Learn more about Medieval prisons and dungeons.

Despite the tower's lofty appearance today, it wasn't always this height. If you look closely at the photo above, you'll notice that the brickwork from about half-way up is a little different – during the 1550s, building-work to strengthen the defences of the Alcazar nearly doubled its height.
Nowadays, on climbing up the 156 crooked steps of the Tower of Juan II, you'll be greeted with a beautiful view across the Spanish countryside.
During the hot summer months, the baked-yellow aridity is quite an amazing contrast to the green hills of Britain – and it's a surprise to see just how rural Segovia's surroundings are.

While you're admiring the view, try squinting into the distance.
You may have to use your imagination a little, but you might be able to make out the silhouette of la mujer muerte (literally: the dead woman). The peaks and valleys of the Sierra de Guadarrama, which stretch across the horizon, apparently resemble the body of a woman, lying on her back with her knees slightly bent.

The Mighty Fire
In 1862, fire-ripped through the Alcazar, destroying the roofing, turrets and upper floors of almost every building in the castle. Curiously, however, this act of destruction would made the Alcazar internationally famous.
In the late 1860s, the Romantic movement was sweeping Western Europe. Although Romantic poets and authors described ruined castles and chateau with tremendous enthusiasm, they also tried to emulate ideas of grander, more chivalrous years gone by.
The perfect-pointing turrets (see the right side of the picture) are something of a modern addition! Credit: Sergio, CC-BY-2.0.
As a result, the architects restoring the Alcazar in Segovia chose to exaggerate all aspects of the castle – creating more fanciful turrets and larger, spiralling towers.
These changes were made for dramatic effect, rather than for historical authenticity. After all, this was a time when the crazed, fantasy castles of Germany – including Neuschwanstein – were being built. It was an age where modern-life (well, 1800's life!) longed for the fairy-tales of yore.
Inspiration for Disney
In the 1960s, so the urban legend goes, Disney 'imagineers' travelled throughout Europe, looking for the perfect castles on which to model Cinderella's Castle in Walt Disney World.
The lead architect for the project was Herb Ryman, a man fascinated with European architecture.
Apparently, the Alcazar of Segovia was one of their chief inspirations – but this is one of those things which has been said a thousand times, without an original source to be found.
Disney do admit that Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom was 'inspired by the great castles of Europe', but they never explicitly say if the Alcazar of Segovia was one of their sources.
I guess, regardless, the modern day castle does look good enough to be from a fairytale, anyway.

If you've enjoyed this, bear in mind that there are other Alcazars in Spain! The other two famous ones are the Alcazars of Cordoba and Seville. Read more about the other Alcazar castles here. . .
The Alcazar de Segovia is the most incredible castle in Spain: a fairytale of turrets, overlooking the arid Spanish plain. It apparently inspired Disney...

Canossa's neighbourhood name follows in the tradition of naming neighbourhoods in the Castle Down's area after famous castles. The Canossa Castle was built around 940 AD near Bologna in Northern Italy. The castle fell into the hands of Imperial troops in the 11th century and was destroyed in 1255. Though it was restored numerous times over the centuries, the castle lies in ruins today.
The initial plan for the area was prepared in 1984 but has undergone subsequent amendments to bring the plan into line with improved stormwater management regulations, a reduction in standard area requirements for school/park sites, and to decrease the amount of land designated for multiunit dwellings to respond to changing market demand.
Canossa is bordered to the north by Anthony Henday Drive, to the east by 121st Street, to the south by 167th Avenue and to the west by 112th Street. Canossa is a predominantly single-detached residential neighbourhood oriented around a loops and cul-de-sac roadway design. The neighbourhood was designed to fit in with the residential development pattern of surrounding neighbourhoods, and to create a safe, quiet and aesthetically pleasing residential environment.
Prior to urban development the area was used for agricultural purposes. The neighbourhood began developing in the early 1990s, but the bulk of residential construction took place over the 2000-2006 time period. The neighbourhood was still actively under development as of 2008, and north of 175th Avenue much of the land within the neighbourhood's boundaries was still under agricultural cultivation.


Daniel Bell, Professor of Ethics and Political Philosophy, teaches political theory in Beijing. In this slyly witty talk he challenges our political intuitions and debates what would be a desirable political model, based on the assumptions that democracy and political meritocracy are good things. He discusses the problems inherent with just leaving things with voters, who may or not be educated, understand the common good, or be able to put aside their short-term interests. He describes the Vertical Model with meritocratically-chosen officials at the top and democratically-elected politicians underneath, which is flexible and has "lots of room for experimentation in between." He says this is "more or less" the model that has inspired political change in China since the 1990s. But, there are some flaws. Watch and find out what they are.
As a Chinese Consul in Chinese Consulate in San Francisco, I am pleased to know your new book "The China Model: Political Meritocracy and the Limits of Democracy" will be published July, 2015. I was a student of Prof. Yan Xuetong about 20 years ago, and I am happy to know you are now a colleague of him at Tsinghua.
From the introduction, I can see your book features a western scholar's point of view on China political development. Your teaching in Beijing, China will provide a deeper field research and understanding of the China model than other western scholars.
Coincidentally, Stanford University scholar Francis Fukuyama published his new book"Political Order and Political Decay" 2 months ago and I had the opportunity to listen to his speech in San Francisco.
His book explores the shortcomings of U.S. current political system-bipartisan quarrel, governmental disability, slow decision making. He advocates that a successful political system needs three factors: effective governance, rule of law and democracy. Without good nation-building, democracy will be premature, sometimes leads to a mess in some countries like Egypt, Libya and African country.
The world is diversified with 200-plus nations, both the China model or U.S.model can learn and accommodate each other than prejudice or blame each other. I believe your book will inspire people to understand more the political system co-existence in today's world.
Again, I applaud your book and wish it a great academic and profit success.

These are organized by Overall Widths, not Basin Widths.
All measurements are Rounded Down.
The thickness of the stainless steel is referred to as the gauge. An easy rule of thumb is, the lower the number of the gauge, the thicker and better the stainless steel, and the more sound-insulating capabilities. 18 is an ideal gauge for sinks, as it holds up to denting or scratching.


This counter is the result of designing a cascading counter because it's constructed like an asynchronous counter of 6 bits. That is, the project needs to function the following components: 6-10mm LEDs, 6-Flip-Flops(IC74LS76), and an IC555 timer for generating the clock signal while 6-1N914.diodes do the interface between the counter and the LEDs so that the codes from 0 to 63 can be generated without any problem.. Although this design is a classical, it's neither easy nor funny but illustrative for learning how a binary counter works.
With the set of schematics included in this step, you have enough information so that you can complete successfully the present instructable.
Installing the LEDs and IC sockets, you can connect each other the LED cathodes and solder them too.
When installing the diodes, you should orient them with the cathodes or black line toward the LEDs in theirs respective anodes for being connected correctly. Also, you have to connect the missing positive terminal of each diode to its respective output of each Flip-Flop by having in count the connections showed in the corresponding schematics.
Once installed the capacitor, connect its negative terminal to pin 1 from 8-pin, IC socket while its positive terminal to pin 2 of that same IC socket without forgetting connecting pin 2 to pin 6 too. In this step, you should also connect the GND pins of IC socket to common cathodes of the LEDs.
When installing the 10K potentiometer and resistor, you should connect them to 8-pin IC socket. The pin 4 & 8 will later be interconnected to +5V and to one terminal of 10K resistor right away while the pot together have to connected to pin 7 with the remaining terminal of the resistor on its central pin and one side pin, and the free terminal of the pot must be connected to pin 6 interconnected to pin 2 and previously connected to the positive side of the capacitor terminal.
When installing the voltage regulator & 9V battery clip, you should together connect the central terminal of your voltage regulator to common cathodes of the LEDs and black wire of 9V battery clip while its terminal 1 or input to red wire of 9V battery clip.
Interconnect all J-K, Preset & Clear pins of the Flip-Flops to pin 4 and 8 of IC555 previously connected, output terminal of your voltage regulator and pin 5 of the Flip-Flops as well.
Once concluded all of connections, carefully install the integrated circuit before connecting the battery for avoiding any problem or damage to your proyect.
Enjoy your project that is a classical counter of 6 bits by working perfectly with the help of the 1N914 diodes.

When the band signed a record contract, part of the deal (as it was customary in those days) included an avance payment, which by its side included new instruments and amplifiers for all of them, the cost of which would be deducted from their royalties once they started earning profit. Some shows from this era have been documented via either photographs or short videos.
At some point during this era, Brian acquired a Fender Stratocaster, which had been the guitar of his dreams (the one he'd made with his father was a 'placeholder' until he had enough money to buy a proper one). Brian, however, didn't like the way the Strat sounded with the Vox AC30 amp, so he retained his homemade guitar as his main and only used the Strat in case he broke a string (e.g. Liar on 31st March 1974).
Through their record company, Queen also signed to David Bowie's equipment hire, Ground Control (set up in 1973), which provided them the Public Address.

For the I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside bit, Roy Baker played a Dubreq Stylophone, which is technically a synthesiser (so they did use synths before 1979!).

For those of you who have babies or young children, regardless of your varying parenting styles, it is safe to say that you all want what is best for your children's health. With information about natural health being on the up and up for people of different ages, it is safe to assume that many parents try to opt for more plant based solutions for their children's developmental needs as opposed to many more unnatural solutions. We are beginning to find natural solutions for so many childhood problems from treating a colicky baby to helping get rid of hair lice and many other issues and ailments. Good nutrition is essential for every person at every age, but it is especially crucial for growing babies and children; however many parents could probably empathise with one another on the fact that this is not always easy. Kids can be very picky eaters, they also do not typically love to take any kind of supplement or medicine and if their school gives out free lunches, it is likely not the most nutritious meal. Not only that but many parents are probably concerned about what supplements are okay to give to their kids. Just because something is natural it does not always mean that they are right for a child or baby.
A high quality diet should always be a top priority for growing children and infants, unfortunately, as previously mentioned. Children can be very picky eaters. They are at a stage where they are mentally developing and wanting to establish themselves more as their own person. This is the stage where many parents hear their children saying "no" quite often and this can happen quite a lot around mealtime. We can only empathise with parents who try hard to feed their kids all the different food groups but have a hard time and eventually cave in because their little one absolutely refuses to touch a particular set of foods they just do not like. More often than note these foods that are actually very healthy for them, especially vegetables. This unfortunately can result in nutritional deficiencies such as a lack of iron, calcium and vitamin A just to name a couple. Many of us know that threats, arguing constantly and prodding will likely make your child resist even harder and it will likely create a negative association with any mealtime. Why try to constantly fight when you can try to come up with a solution? If your child does not like to eat their vegetables too much, there are many agreeable alternatives. Find a dehydrated green food supplement that does not have any added stimulants in it. Many of these supplements are naturally flavoured with fruit extracts and are safe for children to take. You could incorporate it into a breakfast smoothie for them and they will get a healthy dosage of their daily nutritional requirements. The same thing could be said for children who do not like to eat a lot of fruits. There are many dehydrated fruit supplements that are perfectly safe for children to take and can even be used as an alternative to most commercial juice brands. Dairy products are another food item that many kids either do not want to eat or have intolerance to. Thankfully, we are starting to realize that as humans we do not really need dairy in our diets at all, what we do need, however, is calcium, probiotics, magnesium and vitamin D which are found in dairy products. Before supplementing your child with anything that can help prevent a deficiency in any of these categories, it is important to try to search for food alternatives that could do just that. If you are lucky enough to have a child who actually enjoys vegetables or dairy alternatives, you will have an easy time giving them their daily dose of vitamin D, calcium and magnesium; probiotics on the other hand can be a bit tricky (most children would probably not like the taste of fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut as an alternative). In this case it may be easier to supplement your child with probiotics. Probiotics are pretty safe to take at any age, even in infancy. Probiotics are the healthy active bacteria that help maintain the proper function and health of the digestive system which is crucial for growing children and will not disturb their lactose intolerance if they have that (especially if the strain used is lactobacillus acidophilus). Having a picky eater for a child can prove to be a bit challenging if not frustrating. As a parent it is normal to be concerned with your child's health and to want to make sure they get the nutrients they need to grow up healthy, this is why nutritional supplements and alternatives exist, so that everyone can have a chance to grow up healthy.

When does a police officer prosecute or commit misfeasance?
Written by Oliver Williamson
It sometimes vexes police lawyers – how the police can be a prosecutor for the purpose of malicious prosecution when it is the Crown Prosecution Service that makes the decision to prosecute. Further, it has not always been easy to identify what acts of officers can result in liability for misfeasance in a public office. In Rees v Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis [2017] EWHC 273 (QB), Mitting J explained both of these - disagreeing with some previous cases and explaining others.
On 10 March 1987, Daniel Morgan was killed when he was struck multiple times to the head with an axe. After unsuccessful investigations, in April or May 2006, Mr Gary Eaton, an assisting offender, stated that he had information about the murder and gave an account which implicated all four Claimants. There was in relation to some (but not all) of the Claimants, however, evidence of other witnesses.
At the criminal trial, the trial judge concluded that police officer involved, DCS Cook had improperly prompted Mr Eaton's evidence, excluded it, and stayed the proceedings against one of the Claimants. The Crown Prosecution Service later discontinued the case against all the remaining Claimants, stating that the evidential test was no longer satisfied.
The Claimants claimed damages against the Metropolitan Police Commissioner for malicious prosecution and misfeasance in public office. The claims of Mr Rees, Glenn Vian and Garry Vian failed. Mr Fillery failed in the malicious prosecution claim but succeeded in his claim for misfeasance.
Mitting J held that it was the CPS, advised at all stages by Treasury Counsel, who decided that there was sufficient evidence to charge each of the Claimants. The information was incomplete due to the actions of DCS Cook. Mitting J rehearsed the settled law that the mere fact that an individual has given information to the police which leads to their bringing a prosecution does not make that individual the prosecutor. He went on to observe that: [146]
... for Cook to be treated as the prosecutor, the law requires to be stated in a manner not established by existing authority. For the Claimants to succeed on this issue, the law must be that an investigator who, by his deliberate conduct in relation to an important element of a case, prevents the independent decision-maker from reaching a fully informed decision, is to be treated for that reason alone as the prosecutor.
It was held that a vast amount of information and evidence was presented to the CPS to consider and, save in respect of Mr Fillery, that material did not consist only or determinatively of the evidence of Mr Eaton. Mitting J found that the CPS reached the decision to charge in the exercise of independent judgment on the basis of all of the material of which they were then aware and observed: [146]
Applying the principles derived from the authorities, Cook's conduct did not make it virtually impossible in practical terms for the CPS, advised by Treasury Counsel, to exercise their independent discretion. They were provided, 10 months before charges were laid, with a detailed and, with the qualifications expressed, reasonably accurate summary of the evidence gathered over 20 years about the murder and those believed to have been complicit in it. The raw material on which that summary was based was supplied to the CPS…The only significant fact which they were not told was that Eaton's evidence had been improperly prompted by Cook. Further, not only were the CPS able to exercise an independent discretion, they did so...
Mitting J concluded that despite the suppression by DCS Cook of facts relevant to Eaton's evidence, they did not render the prosecution against any Claimant, other than Mr Fillery, baseless. For those reasons, it was held that DCS Cook was not to be treated as the prosecutor such that the claims for malicious prosecution of the First, Second and Fourth Claimants' failed.
In case he was incorrect on that point, Mitting J went on to consider the other elements of the tort of malicious prosecution. He found that the evidence satisfied the objective and subjective elements of reasonable and probable cause for all of the Claimants save for Mr Fillery, in respect of whom neither the objective nor subjective elements were satisfied. In terms of malice, it was held that DCS Cook's state of mind was not malicious: his motive was to bring those he believed to have been complicit in the Morgan murder, and in covering it up, to justice such that none of the Claimants, even Mr Fillery, established the tort of malicious prosecution.
As for misfeasance, Mitting J held that in prompting Mr Eaton, DCS Cook was acting in the exercise of his public functions as an investigating police officer since a police officer is given authority to investigate by his chief constable and it is one of the functions of an investigative police officer to investigate crimes and obtain witness statements for the purposes of criminal investigations; and that misconduct in the performance of police functions is sufficient to found the tort.
Identifying that the tort can be committed where an act is unlawful and the public officer does not have an honest believe that it is lawful, Mitting J held knowingly prompting a potentially unreliable witness to implicate persons in the murder and then concealing the same from the CPS amounted to the crime of perverting the course of justice. DCS Cook deliberately breached guidelines and express instructions from superiors which he knew would be likely to undermine the integrity of the evidence. Further, it was held, DCS Cook realised that his conduct would probably injure the Claimants since arrest and prosecution would inevitably lead to a period of loss of liberty.
However, on the final question of whether DCS Cook's actions caused loss, Mitting J assessed what would have happened if Mr Eaton's evidence had never been thought to be available. He held, on the balance of probabilities, that prosecuting Counsel and the CPS would have decided to prosecute Mr Rees and Glenn and Garry Vian on the basis of the evidence available when they were charged, other than that of Mr Eaton, such that they had suffered no loss. Further, there was reasonable and probable cause to prosecute. As a consequence their claims failed.
In respect of Mr Fillery, since the only evidence on which the prosecution proposed to rely was that of Mr Eaton, and since, but for DCS Cook's conduct in relation to Mr Eaton, Mr Eaton's evidence would never have seen the light of day, Mr Fillery would not have been prosecuted and it followed that he had suffered loss and his claim for misfeasance succeeded in full.
Mitting J expressly considered and rejected determining the issue of loss or injury on the basis of the 'material contribution' causation test often applied in medical cases (and per Bailey v Ministry of Defence [2008] EWCA Civ 883; [2009] 1 WLR 1052) on the grounds that there is nothing 'unknown' about the reasons for the prosecution of the Claimants which he, as a Judge, could not determine. He stated that no expertise equivalent to medical science was required to reach such a conclusion and he was not required to assess the chance in percentage terms of prosecution without the evidence of Mr Eaton.
The background and history of this case is almost uniquely complex, stretching back as it did to events some 30 years before the civil action. That said, the decision provides helpful clarification of the circumstances in which an action for malicious prosecution or misfeasance may succeed and Mitting J used the multi-factorial events under examination as an opportunity to limit or contain the scope of any potential ambiguity from obiter in earlier decisions.
When the police will be a prosecutor
Further, and helpfully, the circumstances in which the police may be considered the prosecutor, even when the CPS take the decision to prosecute, have been clarified which may be of assistance to police forces in (no-doubt plentiful) receipt of malicious prosecution and/or misfeasance civil claims following discontinuance or acquittals in the criminal courts.
It bears emphasis that a police force can (by virtue of vicarious liability under section 88 of the Police Act 1996) be treated as the prosecutor where:
- They intend that there should be a prosecution; and
- They alone know the facts of the alleged offence; and
- They deliberately misstated the facts to the person making the decision to lay the charge (almost invariably the CPS); and
- The person who decides to lay the charge did not, and could not have, formed an independent judgment as to whether a charge should be laid.
Importantly for police forces, Mitting J highlighted that there is a difference between making it virtually impossible for the CPS to exercise independent discretion on the one hand; and making the exercise of that discretion more difficult (because of the deliberate concealment of an important fact) on the other. He held that the latter lies on the wrong side of the line for determining whether or not someone other than the CPS is to be treated as the prosecutor for the purpose of the tort of malicious prosecution.
Mitting J gave specific consideration to the decision of Cranston J in Clifford v The Chief Constable of Hertfordshire Constabulary [2008] EWHC 3154 (QB) and confirmed that he had "not followed or applied the observations" in that case, going on to observe that on one reading of Cranston J's judgment, the police may be treated as a prosecutor if they fail to forward information to the CPS if it is instrumental in the prosecution. Mitting J doubted that was Cranston J's intention and, if it was, Mitting J disagreed and stated that such a scenario is confined to circumstances in which the determinative facts were known only to the police. He added:
... it cannot be that the police become a prosecutor of a case when the charge has been laid by, or on the decision of, the CPS, merely because after charge they fail to forward some non-trivial information to the CPS relevant to the prosecution. I accept that a prosecutor who continues a prosecution after he knows that it has become baseless may be liable for the tort of malicious prosecution from that point on; and that it is arguable that a police officer, responsible for the investigation which has given rise to the charge, may be treated as a prosecutor if he deliberately suppresses information which would reveal to the CPS that the prosecution had become baseless.
The case also highlights that the issue of malice is a substantial hurdle which will, in all but the clearest of cases, be difficult for a Claimant to overcome. Even where it is found that the police have 'overstepped the mark' to the point of committing a criminal offence and intending to pervert the course of justice, where the officer's state of mind is to bring those he believed to be guilty to justice, that can be sufficient to demonstrate an absence of the malice element.
Actions that can amount to misfeasance
In terms of misfeasance, Mitting J dismissed the arguments on behalf of the Metropolitan Police, based on Calveley v Chief Constable of the Merseyside Police [1989] 1 AC 1228, that whatever the officer may have done, he was not exercising a public power such as a constable's common law and statutory power of arrest or search on the following basis. He held that the tort is not confined to the exercise of a common law or statutory power and misconduct in the performance of police functions is sufficient to found the tort; to hold otherwise would create unjustified anomalies in law which should not be tolerated: [182]
Case law establishes that misconduct in the performance of police functions is sufficient to found the tort. In Cornelius v London Borough of Hackney [2002] EWCA Civ 1073, Waller LJ cited with approval the unreported judgment of the Vice Chancellor in Peter Elliot v Chief Constable of Wiltshire Constabulary 20 November 1996, in which the point had been taken that when a police officer supplied details of convictions to the press, he did not do so, purporting to exercise a relevant public power. He held that the facts alleged would give rise to a claim:
"Police officers have a status at common law, and perhaps statute as well, which is both a privilege and a source of powers and duties. If in the apparent performance of functions pertaining to their office police officers commit misconduct, then if the other ingredients of the tort of misfeasance in public office, and in particular the requisite intention to injure and resulting damage, are present the tort of misfeasance in public office is, in my opinion, made out."
Mitting J highlighted the two ways in which the tort can be made out - targeted malice requiring proof of improper motive or unlawful action where the officer has no honest belief that his actions are lawful: [183]-[184]
The first way in which the tort can be committed – so called "targeted malice" – requires proof of an improper or ulterior motive. This is either identical to or so closely similar to the element of malice required to be proved in malicious prosecution as to be indistinguishable. For the reasons given before, it is not made out in this context too.
The second way in which the tort can be committed requires proof that the act is unlawful and that the public officer does not have an honest belief that it is lawful. Frequently, the act will be unlawful because it is in excess of powers; but that is not the only way in which a public official can commit an unlawful act. A police officer who discloses confidential data to a journalist... commits a civil wrong under the Data Protection Act 1998 and abuses the authority given to him by his chief constable to gain access to such data. A police officer who interferes improperly with the gathering of evidence for a criminal prosecution may also commit the common law crime of doing an act tending and intended to pervert the course of justice. In any of these cases, the element of unlawful conduct will be made out.
Determination of liability in any case of alleged misfeasance in public office will necessarily involve an assessment of injury or loss. Where the CPS would have prosecuted regardless of the misfeasance, no loss is suffered. This decision affirms that the Court's role is to determine what would have happened 'but for' the misfeasance, assessed on the balance of probabilities [193]. The question of whether the misfeasance made a mere 'contribution' to the injury is not relevant: a case will fail in the absence of causation of loss on the balance of probabilities.

We Are Nowhere Close to Meeting Our Climate Goals
Daniel Oberhaus
A UN report says the world needs to triple the aggressiveness of its climate commitments to stave off environmental collapse.
Teen activist Greta Thunberg tells the UN that its climate goals are not good enough.Photograph: Spencer Platt/Getty Images
It was unseasonably warm in New York City as world leaders convened at the United Nations headquarters for the Climate Action Summit on Monday. A global climate strike organized by the teen activist Greta Thunberg days earlier had set the tone: We need to implement far more aggressive decarbonization efforts—now.
"This is not a climate talk summit, we have had enough talk. This is a climate action summit," UN Secretary General António Guterres said during his opening remarks. "The ticket to entry is not a beautiful speech, but concrete action."
The summit highlighted the nations doing the most to fulfill their commitments as part of the 2016 Paris climate accord. That meant representatives from Saudi Arabia, Japan, and the US got no time on stage. Among the biggest contributors to the global carbon budget, they were excluded for not sufficiently committing to emissions reduction or for pursuing policies that actively undermine the Paris accord. President Donald Trump underscored his climate dismissal by attending for a mere 15 minutes. With dozens of world leaders descending on UN headquarters, Trump had scheduled a competing meeting at the UN for a "call to protect religious freedom"; in the end, he and Vice President Mike Pence made a brief surprise appearance at the climate meeting.
The tone of the climate summit was one of urgency. As part of the Paris accord, countries agreed to adopt nationally determined contributions, or NDCs, which outlined the steps they would take to limit greenhouse gas emissions within their borders. Even back in 2016, when the Paris agreement was formally signed, it was clear the contributions alone would not keep warming below a global average of 2 degrees Celsius compared to preindustrial levels. This is a so-called "tipping point" beyond which the fallout from climate change begins to rapidly accelerate. But so far, the world's industrialized nations haven't even hewed to this lackluster goal.
Since 2016, global carbon emissions have continued to grow. Last year, the US, which is the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions after China, saw its largest increase in carbon emissions since 2010. On Sunday, the UN World Meteorological Organization released a report that showed that global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels grew by 2 percent last year to reach an all-time high. At this rate, the report notes, the world's emissions will continue growing past 2030, making it extremely difficult to keep global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 C, according to the UN climate panel.
Even worse, the report concluded the current NDCs will lead to an increase of 2.9 to 3.4 C by 2100. To have any hope of meeting the 2 C goal, the "current level of NDC ambition needs to be roughly tripled." To keep average temperatures below the preferred (but still problematic) threshold of 1.5 C is "technically possible," the report notes, but would require a rapid, global mobilization unprecedented in human history.
In light of this emissions gap, many countries are stepping up their NDCs. At the UN summit, Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed how Germany will phase out all of its coal plants by 2038. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country has stopped issuing permits for offshore oil exploration, will plant one billion trees by 2028, and will use only renewable electricity by 2023. UN Secretary General Guterres called for countries to commit to carbon neutrality by 2050, and 60 nations signed on. But other countries, including China, did not extend their NDC commitments as many had hoped.
Speakers at the climate action summit placed a special emphasis on phasing out coal. Earlier this year, Guterres called on member states to not open any new coal power plants after 2020. Phasing out coal, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg told the UN delegates, is "the most important thing we can do." The European Union has already committed to this goal, but neither China nor India has made such a plan. Still, the number of new coal plants added to the global grid each year has dropped drastically since the Paris agreement.
Yet this patchwork progress may be nowhere near enough. In an impassioned speech before the UN, 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg noted the UN's current goal equates to a 50 percent chance of keeping average temperatures below 1.5 C. "Fifty percent may be acceptable to you," Thunberg told the UN delegation, "but it is simply not acceptable to us who have to live with the consequences."
"You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency," Thunberg said while barely holding back tears. "But no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that, because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe."
While none of the heads of state at the climate action summit spoke with anything near the emotional intensity of Thunberg, they all acknowledged that the best time to act on climate change was yesterday; the second best time is today.

The gruesome murder of the Protestant Minister, Mr Blandry in Ulster in 1641. (Image from Trinity College, Dublin)
'Be careful what you do or you'll meet the murdered man on a black horse.'
In the 1940s, this warning was given to children living near Churchtown North by the Two Mile Inn just east of Midleton. In fact it applied to the road running from the graveyard at Churchtown (North) to Kilmountain Cross, the L3627, although I have no idea if it applied to the continuation of the same road beyond Kilmountain Cross towards Mogeely. I first heard this warning at the beginning of December 2018, followed by the question 'who was the murdered man?'
Having attended the Midleton Library launch of Peter O'Shea's book Murder Most Local, which recounts the stories of murders in East Cork from the early 1730s to the 1930s, I thought I'd bring the story back further. Peter noted that, thankfully, East Cork seemed to have been a lot less murderous than West Cork for which several volumes could be written just on the subject of local murder alone!
Let's look at the introductory statement again – a murdered man on a black horse. These are very specific details. How did the local people know the man had been murdered? There seem to be no visible or gruesome details in the story. What about the 'black horse'? Why specifically that colour? Even in the 1940s, before rural electrification, a brown or dun coloured horse would look black at night, but the detail is remarkably clear – the horse was definitely black.
The trouble with folklore is that it can be annoyingly unspecific and therefore difficult to pin down. Folklorists generally agree that such stories as the one noted above may contain a garbled verbal memory of something that happened 'long ago.' The challenge is to identify a specific incident that may be referred to in the local folklore. In the case under discussion, we may actually have an incident that is recalled in the warning – but we have to go back several centuries to a very turbulent period.
For our purpose I suggest that we can safely dismiss any association between the murdered man on his black horse with the tale previously recounted here of the 1182 massacre at Mogeely of the Anglo-Norman invaders Milo de Cogan and Ralph son of Robert FitzStephen. That story deals with the massacre of several men, whereas our folklore tale refers to just one man.
There is, however, a slightly more recent alternative incident more directly attached to the Churchtown-Mogeely road which may have given rise to the 'murdered man on his black horse'.
The story starts in Ulster in 1641. Sir Phelim O'Neill and his co-conspirators organised a savage anti-Protestant rebellion. The rebellion was really about land and the fact that since the beginning of the 1600s most of the land in Ulster was confiscated from the overwhelmingly Catholic natives and granted to English and Scottish Protestant settlers. O'Neill's rebellion was marked by murder and atrocities as well as robbery. By early 1642 the Ulster rebellion had spread countrywide, even into east Cork.

In December 1641 the government of King Charles I set up the Commission for the Despoiled Subject to investigate the 'disturbances'. The chairman of the Commission was the Rev Henry Jones, Dean of Kilmore, who was soon appointed Bishop of Clogher. The Commissioners quickly realised that many of the refugees from Munster were unable to get to Dublin and report to the commission, so Philip Bisse (or Bysse), the (Protestant) Archdeacon of Cloyne was appointed to take the depositions from those Protestants who had suffered in Munster. Bisse had to travel about the province to take the depositions from refugees. Unfortunately, it was a mission which cost him his life.
The best account of what happened comes from a refugee, Mrs Elizabeth Danvers, who had fled from Kilkenny and then from Mogeely. This Mogeely was the one in the barony of Kinatalloon, between Conna and Tallow, rather than the Mogeely in Imokilly. Elizabeth Danvers gave very detailed testimony to the Commission which revealed a lot about the rebellion in East Cork. I'll let Elizabeth tell the story in her own words as recorded in her deposition on 14th August 1645, preserving the spelling of the day:
'About June 1643 (as this deponent hath very credibly heard) Certeine Rebells whose names they cannott expresse meeting with one Mr Bysse minister (whoe had bin employed as one of the Commissioners for enquiry of the losses & sufferings of his maiesties loyall subiects within the province of Mounster) nere Corr Abbey betweene Corke and Youghall did then and there very cruelly wound him the said Mr Bysse, and that done they there hanged him to death, there Leaving his body unburied exposed to Ravenous creatures.'
Note that Mrs Danvers account says that the incident happened near Cor Abbey (now Midleton). But how do we know it was the Mogeely road, now designated L3627? Well, this was the main road from Cork to Youghal at the time for the stretch of the modern N25 between Churchtown North and Castlemartyr was only laid out in the later 18th century. Elizabeth says that Bisse's body was left unburied by the roadside, an appalling prospect in a highly religious age. In a more superstitious age this was likely to lead to the road being haunted by the victim's ghost. Elizabeth Danvers made her 1645 deposition before the head of the Commission….Henry Jones, who was now the Bishop of Clogher.

Incredibly, we may even have candidates for the murder of the archdeacon! The Cromwellian government investigated a murder on the road from 'Curr Abbey' to 'Carrick Towell'. In evidence given to investigators on 4th November, 1652, Mr Maurice Brown of Barryscourt told an interesting tale. In the year 1643 David Connell of Carrigtwohill had confessed to him that he had murdered Ensign Cooke in that same year and, furthermore, he even admitted…
….to the deponent (Maurice Brown), that hee was in Companie, with one John DrumAdda (John of Dromadda?) and others, who slew divers (i.e. several) English men, within fourteen dayes betweene Curr Abbey and Youghall.
According to the Down Survey, the townland of Dromaddamore (near Ladysbridge) was owned by Garrett Fitzgerald in 1641, while Dromaddabeg (also near Ladysbridge) was held by William Power of Shanagarry. We don't know if John 'DrumAdda' was related to either man.
Sir John Temple's 1646 book about the Irish rebellion is still used today by some in Northern Ireland to justify their separation from the Republic of Ireland, despite being debunked by careful study of the 1641 Depositions. (Image: Trinity College, Dublin)
So, is the murdered man on the black horse the ghost of Philip Bisse, Archdeacon of Cloyne? It seems most likely that it was. After all, Elizabeth Danvers says that he encountered several rebels on the road, who promptly murdered him. They probably stole is valuable horse to boot.
We have no idea of David Connell or John of Dromadda were every punished for the murders committed on the road between Corabby and Youghal in 1643.
The same road where the Archdeacon was murdered is still used as an alternative route between Cork and Youghal whenever the N25 is blocked or impassable.
The depositions of Elizabeth Danvers and Maurice Brown are part of the original manuscript of the 1641 Depositions preserved in Trinity College, Dublin, and they can be viewed on the 1641 Depositions website: 1641.tcd.ie/index.php

Cromwell's spy? St John Brodrick and the origins of the Brodrick estates in South East Cork.
The ruins of Ballyannan Castle from the south. Usually attributed to the Hodnetts, but actually held by a Mr E Gould in 1642, Ballyannan is an early 17th century fortified house with some later modifications. This house became the seat of St John Brodrick from 1653. In appearance, it must originally have resembled a small French chateau, with plastered, presumably whitewashed,walls and pepperpot roofs on the three turrets.
'He was in reality sent over by Cromwell as a spy to corrupt the Munster Army and send him intelligence; Lieutenant Colonel W. Pigot, and the Captains St John Brodrick and Robert Gookin being likewise employed for the same purpose.'
Thomas Carte: A History of the Life of James Duke of Ormonde. 1735.
From at least 1653 to 1964 the ground landlords in Midleton were the Brodrick family. But one question needs to be addressed. How exactly did the Brodricks get their land in the area? The quotation above refers to, among others, St John Brodrick – the first of the Brodricks of Wandsworth to acquire an estate in Ireland. The story of St John Brodrick and his settlement in Ireland during the regime of Oliver Cromwell is not yet properly written, and, unfortunately, it contains some odd assertions. I can't claim that this post will clear everything up, but I hope to kill off some of the nonsense that is still floating around even in some very respectable history books. Thomas Carte's reference to Brodrick being a Cromwellian spy was written by a staunch supporter of the Stuarts in 1735 and, while it may have a grain of truth, it perhaps does not tell the whole story behind Brodrick's coming to Ireland.
A woodcut describing the enmity between the Royalists (Cavaliers) and Parliamentarians (Roundheads) during the English Civil War – but it could equally well express the sentiments of the Catholics vs. Protestants and Scots Presbyterians vs. English Episcopalians.
The outbreak in 1642 of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (the Irish Catholic Uprising, the English Civil War and the Covenanters' War in Scotland), was to set the scene for the arrival of the Brodricks in south-east Cork. St John Brodrick was born in 1627 as the younger son of Sir Thomas Brodrick of Wandsworth. St John's older brother, Alan, fought for King Charles I during the English Civil War and later served as secretary to the Sealed Knot society. This latter was a secret Royalist organisation in England aiming to restore King Charles II when Cromwell was Lord Protector. There are some assertions that St John Brodrick came to Ireland in 1642 to acquire estates here. But as a fifteen year old boy it seems highly unlikely that he'd be allowed jump from the English frying-pan into the Irish fire. There's certainly no evidence that Brodrick inherited land in Ireland in 1642 – so he must have come by his estates another way.
What seems to have happened is that after his father's death in 1643, St John Brodrick was groomed to fight with Parliament as a way of hedging the family's bets on the outcome of the Civil War. He certainly seems to have been in the service of the Parliamentary cause by 1649. In that year he was sent to Ireland as an assistant to Lord Broghill who had just joined the Parliamentary side. And this connection to Roger Boyle, Lord Broghill, proved instrumental in Brodrick's land acquisitions in Ireland.
The man the Irish love to hate: Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of Great Britain and Ireland. He still has a bad press in Ireland and his regime settled a lot of officers on confiscated Irish lands, including St John Brodrick.
To understand what happened it is necessary to examine the complex four-sided civil war in Ireland from 1642 to 1652. The Confederate Catholics made up the largest group, rebelling against the Crown in defence of their landholdings and their right to worship as they wished. Their best leader was the Ulsterman Owen Roe O'Neill, the victor of Benburb. Unfortunately the Confederates were divided into Gaelic Irish (often very hardline) and the Old English (more Royalist in sympathy). Benburb introduces the second group in Ireland – the Presbyterian Scots. Some were settlers, mostly in Ulster where they obtained land under the Ulster Plantation. Others came over in Munroe's army ….. only to be slaughtered at Benburb in 1646. Then there was the Royalist force, based mostly in Dublin and commanded by James Butler, Marquis of Ormond as he then was, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. This is the man who is the subject of Thomas Carte's book, being promoted to a dukedom in 1660. The fourth group in Ireland were the Protestants of Munster. Their military leaders were David Barry, 1st Earl of Barrymore, who died of wounds shortly after the victory of Liscarroll in 1642, Morrough O'Brien, Lord Inchiquin who led the Munster Protestant Army for most of the period, and Roger Boyle, Lord Broghill, a younger son of Richard Boyle, the same 1st Earl of Cork who had obtained a license for a market at Corabbey in 1624. The Munster Protestant victory at Liscarroll secured Cork and the area around Cork Harbour, as well as Youghal, for the Protestant cause, and, ultimately, for the Parliamentary cause. Initially the Munster Protestant leaders' loyalties were still somewhat vaguely aligned in favour of the king, although they treated James Butler, Marquis of Ormond, and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with great suspicion.
Roger Boyle, Lord Broghill, Cromwellian commissioner for forfeited estates in the County of Cork.
Created 1st Earl of Orrery in 1660, Broghill helped secure Cork for Cromwell and, in 1660, he secured Ireland for King Charles II . He founded Charleville in North Cork, where he built a huge mansion, which he abandoned by the mid-1670s, when he moved his seat to Castlemartyr a few miles from Midleton. A good friend of St John Brodrick, his neighbour in Midleton, Broghill was a younger son of Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork and an older brother of Robert Boyle, the scientist. His descendants resised at Castlemartyr until the early 20th century.
During the period up to 1648, a strong rivalry existed between Inchiquin and Broghill. It didn't develop into an open dispute – they managed to get along sufficiently to keep their hold on Cork secure. But the Parliamentary victory in the English Civil War, and execution of King Charles I in 1649, threw everything into confusion. Inchiquin was certainly disgusted by the death of the King. Broghill's reaction, however, was more problematic. He later claimed that he was upset by the execution of the king, however, it does seem that his sympathies were very close to the Parliamentary side. One story put about after the Restoration of King Charles II (1660) is that Broghill was on his way to the Continent to consult Charles II when he was accosted by Oliver Cromwell in London and given a choice that was difficult to refuse – join fully and openly with Parliament or else get to know the Tower of London very intimately. Broghill was in Somerset when he eventually decided to take up Cromwell's offer of a commission in the Parliamentary army. He apparently had a small part to play in the bloody sack of Wexford in 1649 before being sent by sea to Cork to secure that harbour and city for Cromwell. On Broghill's arrival in Cork, Lord Inchiquin packed his bags and sailed off to Spain – where he became a Catholic! This left Broghill in total command of Cork. Cromwell spent the winter of 1649/50 in Youghal, a town controlled by the Boyles, in acknowledgement of Broghill's importance in securing the area, and, presumably to keep Broghill firmly within the Parliamentary camp.
Murrough of the Burnings. Murrough O'Brien, Lord Inchiquin was the leader of the Protestant forces in Munster during the 1640s until ousted by Broghill in 1649.
(Murrough O'Brien, Lord Inchiquin, was the infamous 'Murrough of the burnings' of Irish popular history and he came from County Clare – hence his title. His descendants later returned to Imokilly and settled at Rostellan where, as the Earls of Thomond, they built a new house on the site of Rostellan Castle and the medieval church. On discovering that the old church and graveyard had been violated, a local woman pronounced a curse that no son would ever inherit the Rostellan estate – and it worked! The property passed via daughters into the hands of other families. Inchiquin's descendants also came into possession of Petworth House in East Sussex which contains a superb collection of paintings by Turner. The vitally important Petworth House papers have yielded astonishing detail on the history of County Clare, but they have not yet been explored for the history of Rostellan and Imokilly. Petworth is now owned by the National Trust.)
But what of St John Brodrick? We know nothing, as yet, of his military career in England, which probably didn't start until about 1645/46. One source suggests that Brodrick was appointed Provost Marshal to Broghill's force in Cork. A Provost Marshal was an officer in charge of enforcing military discipline. But they often had another role – the gathering of intelligence. Basically, if his role as Provost Marshal is true, then St John Brodrick was indeed a spy for Cromwell, but not a secret agent. It is highly possible that Brodrick may have been given orders to keep Broghill on the straight and narrow path of Parliamentary loyalty. As an intelligence officer, it is also possible that Brodrick was instrumental in securing the transfer of loyalty among the Protestant troops in Cork from the king to Parliament by way of a mutiny. What is clear is that Brodrick and Broghill became great and firm friends. They appear to have shared a common religious outlook, both being 'low church' men. It seems likely that Brodrick got to know Oliver Cromwell during the latter's sojourn in Youghal.
With the defeat of all the opposing armies in Ireland, the Cromwellian regime set about securing the country……and paying off its debts. The Adventurers, the people who had loaned funds to Parliament, had to be repaid (with interest), and the soldiers in the Parliamentary army had to be paid. The decade of civil wars meant that there was a serious shortage of funds, so Parliament came up with a better idea – pay everyone in land. The lands of Irish Catholics and Royalists would be confiscated and distributed to the Adventurers and old soldiers as payment.The bonus was that if these lands could be settled by good English protestants then Ireland would be secured against future Catholic rebellions.
Part of the Down Survey map of Barrymore showing the parishes.The former monastic estate of Manisitir na Corann/Corabbey is shown as a yellow area marked 'Unforfeited Land.' Parts of Mogeesha parish, as well as Templenacarriga, Ballyspillane, Dungourney, and Clonmel parish on Great Island as well as areas were also given to St John Brodrick in the 1653 settlement. Mainistir na Corann was considered to be part of Barrymore since the dissolution because its last abbot was a Barry. During the 1700s, the parish was transferred back into Imokilly. This copy of the map is preserved in the Bibliotheque National in Paris. Source: downsurvey.tcd.ie.
One of the commissioners appointed to supervise the distribution of lands in County Cork was Roger Boyle, Lord Broghill. And he made sure that his good friend, St John Brodrick, got some choice parcels of land, often right next to his own estates. One of those parcels was Mainistir na Corann/Corabbey now called Midleton. This was the old estate of the Cistercians of Chore, which had remained Crown property since the dissolution in 1543 and had been leased to Roger Boyle's father, Richard, 1st Earl of Cork, by the 1620s. Brodrick also got estates in Orrery barony in North Cork – also next to Broghill's lands in the same barony. To ensure that his friend didn't want for much, Broghill also ensured that Brodrick got lands in Mogeesha parish, Templenacarriga parish, Ballyspillane parish, Dungourney parish and non-monastic lands in Corabbey parish as well as parcels in Ballyoughtera Parish and Clonmel parish on Great Island – all confiscated from 'Irish Papists,' By 1653, St John Brodrick, a younger son, had obtained a considerable estate in Ireland.
St John Brodrick established a deerpark from Cahermone to Park South and Park North townlands and chose Ballyannan Castle as his seat. This fortified house had previously been held by a Mr Gould, an 'irish Papist.' Not a bad return for a 'spy.' There's still a lot of research to be done on St John Brodrick and his background and career.

Toyota New Global Architecture
Toyota New Global Architecture – a state of the art new way to build cars that are better for us, our customers and the environment
Our Always A Better Way philosophy is an expression that continuous improvement is possible, in fact it's an essential part of any successful organisation. That's why we've developed the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA). TNGA is an extension of the famous Toyota Production System, which is widely studied and admired for its efficiency. TNGA will help us build cars using standardised platforms, powertrains and major components, to make cars that require fewer resources to build, give a safer and more enjoyable drive, and have even greater fuel-efficiency.
A platform is the basic core around which the rest of a car is built. Globally, Toyota currently uses more than 100 uniquely modified platforms and sub-platforms, and 800 powertrains, including engines modified to fit those different platforms. But, with TNGA, just five layouts will be needed for the whole range, from compact sports cars to SUVs. The size and position of other key components will be standardised, too.
But that doesn't mean that the cars will all look the same. Far from it, in fact. The standardised TNGA elements will be largely out of sight, giving Toyota designers the freedom to produce cars that are visually distinctive, as can be seen in the all new Prius and the C-HR Concept car – both of which were designed using TNGA.
As well as cutting-edge design, the TNGA-developed cars will give a significantly improved drive experience. The TNGA platform means low-stance designs, giving the cars a lower centre of gravity than before, which, in turn, will give better suspension, stability and handling. Strategic use of high-strength steel gives the new Prius a 60 per cent more rigid body shell, which also contributes to greater responsiveness as well as safety. And the new TNGA powertrains will increase fuel-efficiency by up to 15 per cent.
As TNGA-built cars will be able to use many uniform parts, fewer components will need to be designed, produced and shipped. The cars will also need 20 per cent less manpower to build – freeing up a significant amount of time that can be devoted to designing new cars. Fewer components and less manpower will make factories greener too, which is obviously better for the environment.
Looking to the future, TNGA will be the foundation for all Toyota's powertrain and vehicle development, and by 2020 half of Toyota's will be built using TNGA.
On progress made so far, Toyota President Akio Toyoda said: "I want 2015 to be a year in which we take steady and bold steps toward sustainable growth. We can do this by launching new models that incorporate TNGA, and making good use of this intentional pause to strengthen our competitiveness. We aim to be a company that grows sustainably – a tree with a strong trunk."
