Delbrücker SC

Delbrücker SC is a German association football club playing in Delbrück, North Rhine-Westphalia.

History

The origins of the club lie in the founding of the youth's football club DJK Delbrück in 1920. This in turn led to the formation of Ballverein Delbrück in 1925 which took up play in the Westdeutschen Fußballverband (West German Football Federation).

After World War II the club resumed play locally with the youth side enjoying some early success in enjoying an undefeated season and capturing the East Westphalian title before dropping a 1:2 decision in the overall regional final. However, BVD ran into some difficulty involving rough play and attacks on game officials leading to the imposition of a two-year ban. The penalty was sidestepped and the team returned to play after only one year by the dissolution of BVD and subsequent formation of Delbrücker SC in 1950 which began play in the second-class city circuit.

DSC improved to the point that it made regular appearances in the Landesliga (IV) through the 50s and into the early 60s, but then slipped back to city league competition in the Bezirksliga until making a recovery in the mid-70s. The club returned to Landesliga (V) competition and in 1983–84 claimed a division title. Four years later Delbrück again found itself in the Bezirksliga (VII) until once more winning promotion to the Landesliga (VI), this time to steadily improve and advance to the Verbandsliga Westfalen (V) in 2001 and then on into the Oberliga Westfalen (IV) in 2005. With the introduction of 3. Liga in 2008 Oberliga Westfalen was downgraded to the fifth tier and replaced by NRW-Liga where DSC was dropped from it the next year. The club now plays in the tier six Westfalenliga.

In April 2006 Delbrück's 1:0 victory over VfB Fichte Bielefeld in the semi-final of the Westphalia Cup earned the club its first appearance in German Cup play the following September where they lost 2:4 to second division side SC Freiburg.

In habitat

This species is an annual herb with a vining or spreading habit. It does not twine around other shrubs, but is more decumbent and sometimes loops its stems around other plants. The stems are less than 1.5 mm (0.059 in) in diameter and may spread across the ground for up to 40 cm (16 in). The leaves are arranged alternately and taper towards a weakly defined petiole that attaches them to the stem. The leaves are shaped narrowly oblanceolate to almost linear, and have smooth margins. The herbage is covered with small, soft hairs.

The flowers are solitary, with the inflorescences consisting of 1-flowered cymes that emerge from the axils of the upper leaves of the plant. The peduncle is short, about 3–20 mm (0.12–0.79 in) long, and may become sharply nodding when in fruit. Lining the peduncle 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) below the calyx are small bracts, measuring 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) long, and shaped linear or narrowly oblanceolate.

On the flower, the calyx lobes measure 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long, and shaped oblong-ovate. The bell-shaped corolla is about 0.6 cm (0.24 in) long, divided into 5 lobes (essentially petals).

Camden Town Group

Walter Sickert

The Camden Town Group was a group of English Post-Impressionist artists founded in 1911 and active until 1913. They gathered frequently at the studio of painter Walter Sickert in the Camden Town area of London.

History

In 1908, critic Frank Rutter created the Allied Artists Association (AAA), a group separate from the Royal Academy artistic societies and modelled on the French Salon des Indépendants. Many of the artists who became the Camden Town Group exhibited with the AAA.

Harold Gilman. Mrs Mounter at the Breakfast Table, 1917

The members of the Camden Town Group included Walter Sickert, Harold Gilman, Spencer Frederick Gore, Lucien Pissarro (the son of French Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro), Wyndham Lewis, Walter Bayes, J. B. Manson, Robert Bevan, Augustus John, Henry Lamb, Charles Ginner, and John Doman Turner.

Influences include Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin whose work can clearly be traced throughout this group's work. Their portrayal of much of London before and during World War I is historically interesting and artistically important.

Robert Polhill Bevan. Mare and Foal, 1917

In the Cinema by Malcolm Drummond is noted for its claustrophobic feeling. It is an interesting foil to the work of Sickert who painted many rowdy music hall scenes, including Gallery of the Old Mogul (also depicting the viewers of a film). Sickert's Ennui of 1914 is often considered the masterpiece of this group's work, with its portrayal of boredom and apathy in the mold of Flaubert and others.

The group organized the exhibition of Cubist and Post-Impressionist paintings.

A major retrospective of the group's works was held at Tate Britain in London in 2008. The show did not include eight of the members, among them Duncan Grant, J. D. Innes, Augustus John, Henry Lamb, John Doman Turner, Wyndham Lewis and J. B. Manson, who was, according to Wendy Baron, of "too little individual character".

Members

Camden Town Group

It was decided that there should be a 16-member, men only, limit on the group: Maxwell Gordon Lightfoot died after the first exhibition, and Duncan Grant was elected to take his place.

Hassi Messaoud

Hassi Messaoud (Arabic: حاسي مسعود) is a town in Ouargla Province, eastern Algeria, located 85 kilometres (53 mi) southeast of Ouargla.Oil was discovered there in 1956 and the town's prominence has grown rapidly since then; it is considered as the First Energy town in Algeria where all the big oil and gas companies have offices and bases. It is an oil refinery town named after the first oil well. A water well, dug in 1917, can be found on the airport side of town. Today there are over 800 wells within a 25 kilometres (16 mi) radius of the town.

History

The Historical Hassi Messaoud Well

The Name Hassi Messaoud means "the well of Messaoud" in Arabic, named after Messaoud Rouabeh, a well-digger in the region. Before the discovery of oil in the region, Hassi Messaoud was not very populated. After discovering oil in the region in the 1950s the French built two petroleum bases. After the nationalization of oil and gas in the early 70s, the bases became property of Sonatrach (the national oil and gas company).

In 1984, and after a new administrative zoning, Hassi Messaoud became a municipality (a local district) with a local assembly. After that date people started populating the town independently. Sonatrach has imported ready-built houses, approximately 2000 units. Now Hassi Messaoud is a town with more than 60,000 inhabitants (non official source), without counting those living in the oil and gas company bases. The town contains several bases for the oil and gas companies, where Algerian and foreign people are working and living. As of 2008, Hassi Messaoud has an oil field with estimated reserves of 8 billion barrels, and the Hassi R ̓Mel gasfield has estimated reserves of 50 trillion cubic feet of gas and 2 billion barrels of crude oil.

Irish honours system

For Northern Ireland, see Orders, decorations, and medals of the United Kingdom.

Ireland has no formal honours system.Order of St. Patrick, established by the British monarchy in the Kingdom of Ireland in 1783, has been in abeyance for decades. The Constitution of Ireland mandates that "Titles of nobility shall not be conferred by the State."

Debates and proposals

Up to independence

See also: Peerage of Ireland

Irish republicans were opposed to the British honours system from both Irish nationalist antipathy to its Britishness and republican opposition to its monarchist underpinnings. The Act of Union 1800's passage through the Parliament of Ireland was, notoriously, helped by the offer to legislators of British and Irish peerages and other honours; the 1783 introduction of the Order of St. Patrick was a similar source of patronage and compliance.

Article 5 of the 1922 Constitution of the Irish Free State read:

No title of honour in respect of any services rendered in or in relation to the Irish Free State (Saorstát Éireann) may be conferred on any citizen of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Éireann) except with the approval or upon the advice of the Executive Council of the State.

The original draft prepared for the Provisional Government had stated more baldly, "No title of honour may be conferred by the State on any citizen of Saorstát Éireann", but the British insisted on adding the exception in order to preserve a theoretical royal prerogative.Geoffrey Browne, 3rd Baron Oranmore and Browne felt that even the revised wording "ought not to have been considered by either House [at Westminster] until a gracious Message had been received from the Sovereign stating that he placed at the disposal of the House his rights with respect to the conferring of honours".

In addition to a ban on new titles, the drafting committee had envisaged a phasing out of existing peerage titles, but the Provisional Government removed that to conciliate southern unionists such as Lord Midleton.Third Dáil/Provisional Parliament,Darrell Figgis proposed an absolute prohibition, alluding to the contemporary scandal surrounding the sale of British peerages.Kevin O'Higgins countered:


Irish honours system

You cannot set down, I submit, having regard to the exact position under the Treaty statement, a prohibition on the British King from conferring honours in this country, but they have conceded that they will not confer except upon the advice and with the consent of the Executive Council, which in practice can be made equivalent to a complete prohibition[.]

Irish Free State

The Free State was established on 6 December 1922 as a Dominion, with a Governor-General representing the British king in his capacity as Free State monarch. Article 5 of the Constitution was called into question when The London Gazette's list of the UK's 1925 New Year Honours included "Thomas Francis Molony formerly Lord Chief Justice of Ireland" and "James O'Connor, formerly a Lord Justice of Appeal in Ireland",abolished in 1924.W. T. Cosgrave in answer to a parliamentary question said their honours were "not conferred in respect of services rendered in or in relation to Saorstát Eireann".

In December 1929, Ernest Blythe proposed establishing a "Legion of Saint Patrick", with Members, Officers, and Commanders. The Legion's establishment and constituent Statutes would be made by the King under letters patent; the Governor-General would be Head of the Legion during his term of office and a Commander thereafter. The investiture of new members with the Cross of the Legion would occur annually on 6 December. In July 1930 the Cumann na nGaedheal government considered draft letters patent drawn up by the Department of External Affairs and agreed to make informal talks with the British Government; no further action ensued.

The 1932 general election returned a Fianna Fáil government "strongly opposed to the establishment of any decoration or order".1932 Eucharistic Congress opened in Dublin, Charles Bewley, Irish ambassador to the Holy See, warned that offence would be taken if no honour were conferred on the papal legate who would open the conference, Lorenzo Lauri.

Order of St Patrick


Irish honours system

Order of St Patrick

Between April 1924 and December 1926 seven knights of the Order of St. Patrick died.Bernard Forbes, 8th Earl of Granard, a member of both the Order and the Free State Senate, raised the matter, and John A. Costello, the Attorney-General, advised the Executive Council that in light of the 1926 Imperial Conference the Order was an Irish competence; in 1928 the Council decided "that the Order, being now moribund, should be allowed completely to disappear".British Royal Family to the Order in the 1930s, no other appointments were made,the last Knight died in 1974.Éamon de Valera and Seán Lemass both considered reviving the Order, with Lemass allowing Brian Lenihan to float the idea in 1960,Fine Gael was opposed.Northern Ireland peace process and the Belfast Agreement, media reported suggestions that the Order be awarded jointly by the President of Ireland and the British monarch in recognition of work to improve British–Irish relations.Jim DuffyMary Kenny.

1937 Constitution

Article 40, section 2 of the Constitution states in full:

1° Titles of nobility shall not be conferred by the State. 2° No title of nobility or of honour may be accepted by any citizen except with the prior approval of the Government.

The draft Constitution introduced to the Dáil in 1937 originally included a second sentence in subsection 1°:

1° Titles of nobility shall not be conferred by the State. Orders of Merit may, however be created.

In the committee stage, the whole of section 2 was proposed for deletion by Frank MacDermot.William Norton expressed opposition to an Order of Merit, and suggested that the French Legion of Honour was used to reward political cronies.Éamon de Valera, the President of the Executive Council and chief architect of the Constitution, responded:

If the State were anxious to confer an order indicating a certain standard of excellence or performance in science, literature or art, I should be slow to debar it from the start and say that under no circumstances should a recognition of special service be possible by the State. If I am assured it is not necessary, I shall be only too glad to omit the provision, as I should be glad to omit the whole thing if there was any reason for doing so.

At recommittal the following week, de Valera proposed the deletion of the second sentence of Article 40.2.1°, which was agreed.

Genealogical Office

The Ulster King of Arms continued to issue grants of arms across all Ireland until 1943, when the functions of the office were taken over by the Norroy King of Arms and restricted to Northern Ireland.Genealogical Office and continues to grant arms to individuals and corporate persons.Chiefs of the Name as senior known patrilineal descendant of a clan chief in medieval Gaelic Ireland.

Courtesy recognition was intended to amount to nothing more than the recognition of a genealogical fact (ie that the individual concerned was the most senior known male descendant of the last inaugurated or de facto chief of a particular name in power around the end of the sixteenth century) and was not intended to confer, confirm or imply any rights in law, or any special status or title of nobility or of honour.

Oireachtas and government

In 1998, the All-Party Oireachtas Committee on the Constitution noted that the question of a state honours system had "been raised in a desultory manner by governments since 1930".Dáil questions were asked by Patrick O'Donnell in 1954;Seán Moore in 1976Michael O'Leary in 1981;Gay Mitchell in 1986;Bernard Durkan in JuneMichael Bell in 1991.Taoiseach Garret FitzGerald suggests the party whips might discuss the issue.Department of the Taoiseach file on Bell's question, released in 2021 under the thirty-year rule, pointed out that Bob Geldof, a prominent Irish recipient of an honorary British MBE, had derided the idea of an Irish honours system, and that there was widespread public suspicion that politicians would abuse any honours system to reward cronies.

The Gaisce President's Award scheme for young people was established in 1985 by the Fine Gael–Labour government, based on a pilot scheme introduced in 1982 by the previous Fianna Fáil government. Charles Haughey stated:


Irish honours system

We had hoped that if successful it would lead to the solution of another problem, namely, the problem of some honours system in this State which has so far lamentably failed to get off the ground under any Government. We thought that if this award scheme for young people could be launched and got under way in a totally constructive, non-partisan, non-political atmosphere, it would serve as a headline to be followed on a broader scene. Unfortunately it was not to be.

Garret FitzGerald denied the allegation that the Gaisce committee was party-biased.had returned to power, he stated "As indicated previously in this House, the matter of an honours system is not under consideration".

1998–99

The Oireachtas Committee on the Constitution's 1998 report recommended that the President be empowered to award honours after consultation with the Council of State.constitutional amendment,cabinet, as opposed to the Council of State.Ruairi Quinn said "opposition to an honours system in the past arose out of the sense that it conveyed some kind of quasi-aristocratic benediction on the recipient. However, we have now come of age and can examine it with the self-confidence of the time."Bertie Ahern responded, "I presume the thinking is to refer the matter to the Council of State. We do not have to do that given that in every other area the President acts on the advice of the Executive, the Executive takes the advice of the House." In 1999, the Department of the Taoiseach drew up a discussion document which Ahern circulated in September to Fine Gael and Labour.Séamus Brennan for Fianna Fáil, Maurice Manning for Fine Gael and Michael Ferris for Labour.

21st century

The issue has continued to crop up in the 2000s. In 2003, Bertie Ahern suggested that the Oireachtas Committee on Procedure and Privilege should set up a sub-committee chaired by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to examine the question.Paul Connaughton Snr in 2004Dan Neville in 2005Irish diaspora. Brian O'Shea recommended recognition for "people from the community voluntary sector".Finian McGrath raised the matter in 2006.


Irish honours system

Bertie Ahern supported the idea of introducing an honours scheme in media interviews after golfer Pádraig Harrington had won the 2007 British Open.Dáil questions, Ahern stated that any scheme would require cross-party consensus, that he had distributed a discussion paper in 1999, and that other party leaders had agreed to raise the question with their colleagues.Cash for Honours scandal and the fear of actual or perceived political bias in deciding whom to honour.Finian McGrath asked for update on the matter; Brian Cowen said one party had not replied from 2007.

In 2012, the government announced the Distinguished Service Award for the Irish Abroad and said it would "consider proposals for a similar mechanism for recognising the distinguished service of those resident within Ireland".Feargal Quinn introduced a private member's bill to establish an award called "Gradam an Uachtaráin", to be bestowed by the President on the nomination of an Awarding Council subject to the veto of the Government.2016 dissolution and election.

In 2023, a bill modelled on Quinn's was reintroduced in the Seanad by the Independent group and given qualified support on behalf of the Fine Gael–Fianna Fáil–Green government by junior minister Hildegarde Naughton.

Irish citizens receiving foreign awards

Titles

Article 40.2.2° of the Constitution states "No title of nobility or of honour may be accepted by any citizen except with the prior approval of the Government." In 1991, there was no record of any such request having been made.Tony O'Reilly for a British knighthood, and John F. Coyne for a Malaysian Panglima Jasa Negara. Both were approved.damehood, and to Anthony Bailey for the Order of Grenada;Order of the Nation awards (one also to Baileydual citizenship of Ireland and the UK.

Inheritors of foreign titles would not need the approval of the Government as they are incorporeal hereditaments.Edward Pakenham, 6th Earl of Longford and Sir John Keane, 5th Baronet as members of the 5th Seanad were referred to in its official proceedings as "the Earl of Longford" and "Sir John Keane" respectively.

Other foreign awards

Between 1980 and 1991 there were 175 inquiries from foreign governments about awarding decorations other than titles to Irish citizens.

A 2005 article in the Sunday Times after The Corrs had accepted MBEs, noted an increase in the number of recent Irish recipients of British awards, naming Daniel O'Donnell, Niall Quinn, Pierce Brosnan, Pat Eddery, and Orla Guerin; observing "the more gongs the British send across the Irish Sea, the less likely it is that the issue [of an Irish honours system] will go away".Michael Finucane had called for an Irish honours system when Christina Noble received an award from the Prince of Wales.

Awards by other countries to Irish citizens include the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson in 2009,Légion d'honneur to multiple people, and dynastic orders such as orders, decorations, and medals of the Holy See.

Limited awards

Some existing award schemes are run or supported by the state in Ireland and these include:

Honour                            Notes
Aosdána / Saoi                    Aosdána is a self-selecting group of up to 250 artists, of whom up to seven have the title Saoi

Irish honours system

Opposition politicians and others,state-sponsored bodies, have on occasion described the practice as a kind of ersatz honours system to reward party loyalists or personal friends of ministers. Such claims have been made by Pat Rabbitte,Gay Mitchell (in relation to the Office of Tobacco ControlVoluntary Health Insurance BoardJim Mitchell (in relation to the National Treasury Management AgencyJohn O'Donoghue (in relation to Fáilte IrelandMicheál Martin.

Awards by private organisations include the People of the Year Awards and the Order of Clans of Ireland.

Volunteer and active citizenship awards

Several proposed awards relate to volunteerism or active citizenship which contributes to the local community. A 2005 review of the Fianna Fáil–Progressive Democrat government's programme proposed "National Volunteer Awards on the lines of the Gaisce Awards".Taskforce on Active Citizenship chaired by Mary Davis said:

It is also important for the State to formally recognise those who do become involved and contribute to communities, and society as a whole, by making an exceptional contribution as active citizens. While a number of schemes exist to recognise outstanding achievements in different walks of life, Ireland is one of the few countries without a formal State awards system. Such a system could build on the Young Citizens' Awards presented by the President during the European Year of Citizenship through Education in 2005. The Taskforce recommends: that National Presidential Citizen Awards should be introduced to recognise outstanding contributions to civic and community life. These would be awarded to a limited number of people selected by an independent process based on nominations by members of the public. Presentation of the Awards could act as a focal point for the Active Citizenship Week

The Fianna Fáil–Green Party government's programme after the 2007 election endorsed this recommendation.McCarthy Report, on government cuts in response to the post-2008 economic downturn, recommended closing the Active Citizenship Office, and this was done from the next tax year.

Distinguished Service Award for the Irish Abroad

On Saint Patrick's Day 2012, Eamon Gilmore, the then Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, announced that the Fine Gael–Labour government had decided to create a "Presidential Distinguished Service Award for the Irish Abroad".Department of Foreign Affairs.

Charles Lucien de Beurmann

Charles Lucien de Beurmann (6 December 1851 – 1923) was a French dermatologist and mycologist.

He studied medicine in Paris, where in 1884 he became médecin des hôpitaux (hospital physician). In 1889 he was appointed chef de service (department head) at the Hôpital Lourcine, afterward working at the Hôpital Saint-Louis, where he remained until 1916. He studied exotic diseases in his travels throughout Asia.

Beurmann is known for his contributions in the study of sporotrichosis, a disease that was fairly common in Europe at the time. The fungus that causes sporotrichosis was earlier identified by American physician Benjamin Robinson Schenck (1873-1920) and was named Sporothrix schenckii in Schenck's honor. Beurmann did extensive research involving the cutaneous aspects of the disease, and with Henri Gougerot (1881-1955), he published the monograph, Les Sporotrichoses, a treatise that was based on 250 cases of sporotrichoses in France. In 1903 dermatologist Raymond Sabouraud (1864-1938) suggested to Beurmann, the use of potassium iodide as a remedy. Because of Beurmann's thorough research of sporotrichosis, Sporothrix schenckii was sometimes referred to as Sporotrichum beurmanni.
