On the 5th November 2018, Sir John Hunt held our first indoor athletics heat of the year. We had four primary schools attend who were Whitleigh, Oakwood, Beechwood and Woodfield.
As always, the girls were first up to the track competing in the 1+1 and 6 lap parlauf relays. In which, they set some really fast times. Meanwhile the boys were trying to score valuable points in the long and triple jump.
Next up to the track was the boys who competed in some very competitive races. Whilst it was the girls turn to try and earn valuable points in the long and triple jump.
After a quick change, the girls were back on the track to compete in the 2+2 and 4x1 relays. The changeovers were very impressive, which helped them achieve some really fast times. Whist the girls were on the track, the boys were back on the field events to take part in chest push and speed bounce.
Then the boys competed in the 2+2 and the 4x1 relays. Whilst the girls had their chance to earn points in the chest push and speed bounce.
After another quick change over, it was time for the obstacle race. This race had a possibility to pick up some unwanted penalty points. The final results table all came down to this as a few penalty points could have determined your final position in the results table.
A massive well done to all who competed, you all showed amazing effort and determination in all the events. A huge thank you to the sports leaders from Sir John Hunt and Marjon students for all their help in making sure the event ran smoothly.
Congratulations to our gold medal winners Whitleigh Primary.

About St James' Park
St James' Park is the home of Newcastle United F.C. The original football ground was built by 1880 on what was grazing land, bordered by Leazes Terrace, and near Town Moor, and used by Newcastle Rangers. In 1892 Newcastle East End took on the lease of St James' Park and became Newcastle United that year. In 1899 the stands at the Gallowgate End (so named because of being near the city gallows, last used for hangings in 1844) were replaced to raise standing capacity to 30,000. In In 1905 a new main stand on Barrack Road doublled capacity to 60,000, this was replaced the larger Milburn Stand in 1987. There were further developments in the 1990s and by 1995 the stadium had reached a capacity of over 36,000. Large-scale redevelopments completed in July 2000 gave an all-seater capacity of over 52,000.The stadium is also used as a concert venue and was a football venue for the 2012 Olympics, and a rugby venue for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
St James' Park is a football stadium in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It is the home of Premier League club Newcastle United F.C. With a seating capacity of 52,388, it is the seventh largest football stadium in England.
St James' Park has been the home ground of Newcastle United since 1892 and has been used for football since 1880. Throughout its history, the desire for expansion has caused conflict with local residents and the local council. This has led to proposals to move at least twice in the late 1960s, and a controversial 1995 proposed move to nearby Leazes Park. Reluctance to move has led to the distinctive lop-sided appearance of the present-day stadium's asymmetrical stands.
Besides club football, St James' Park has also been used for international football: it was used as a football venue for the 2012 Olympics, and also as a Rugby league venue for the 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 Super League Magic Weekend and a Rugby Union venue for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, occasional Premiership matches and an England Test match. In addition to professional football, the stadium has hosted charity football events and rock concerts, and been used as a set for film and reality television. In 2018 St James' was voted the best stadium in Europe by experts, taking into account a range of factors including; atmosphere, average attendance and the proximity of stadium to the city centre.
The site of St James' Park was originally a patch of sloping grazing land, bordered by Georgian Leazes Terrace, and near the historic Town Moor, owned by the Freemen of the City, both factors that later affected development of the ground, with the local council being the landlord of the site. Leazes Terrace was built c1830 by notable Newcastle residents, architect Thomas Oliver and builder Richard Grainger. Once the residence of high society in Newcastle, it is now a Grade 1 listed building, and, recently refurbished, is currently being used as self-catering postgraduate student accommodation by Newcastle University. The site was also near the gallows of the city, last used in 1844, lending the Gallowgate End its name.
The first football team to play at St James' Park was Newcastle Rangers in 1880 They moved to a ground at Byker in 1882, then returned briefly to St James' Park in 1884 before folding that year. Newcastle West End took over the ground in 1886. West End were wound up in 1892 and effectively merged into their rivals Newcastle East End, who took over the lease of St James' Park and became Newcastle United later that year. Local residents opposition to football being played at St James' dated back to the first games in the Football League following the building of the first small stand at the Gallowgate End. A redeveloped Gallowgate and further stands followed in 1899, bringing the first official capacity to 30,000 (standing).
While the stadium is now synonymous with the Black and Whites, Newcastle United actually played in red and white at St James' Park until 1904. In 1905, a doubling of capacity to 60,000, with a main stand on the Barrack Road (now Milburn Stand), and major other stands, produced a state-of-the-art facility, even boasting a swimming pool.
The second-ever rugby league test match, and first test victory by Great Britain, was played at the ground in 1908 against the touring Australian Kangaroos side on 23 January 1909.
Between 1920 and 1930, plans were drawn up for a double-tiered stand by notable football architect Archibald Leitch. However, after planning disputes, all that was achieved was a small roof over the Leazes Terrace side (Sir John Hall Stand). Floodlights were constructed in the 1950s, with the first match played using them held on 25 February 1953 against Celtic.
Up until the 1960s planning difficulties continued, culminating in lack of development of the ground being cited as the reason for failure of Newcastle United to secure the right to host a group stage of the upcoming 1966 World Cup following political disputes.
In the late 1960s further attempts were made to develop the site, and the council proposed a multi-use sports development of St. James' Park. This was rejected as not financially viable. Plans were drawn up by the club for a move to a stadium in Gosforth, or even a groundshare with Sunderland A.F.C. in a new stadium on Wearside. These plans were withdrawn in 1971 after agreement to redevelop St James' Park was finally reached, after mediation by the then Minister for Sport, Denis Howell. In 1972, work started on the East Stand, 50 years after it was last permitted to be developed. In 1978 the Leazes End was demolished, but relegation and financial difficulties meant the new stand was not built.
Investigations following the Bradford City stadium fire in 1985 identified a need to replace the ageing West Stand, which was demolished in 1986. Its replacement, the Milburn Stand, was named in honour of Jackie Milburn and opened in 1987. Further development was again shelved for lack of finance.
Sir John Hall era
Until the early 1990s the ground had achieved only modest expansion under various owners, with plans dogged by disputes and lack of finance due to poor on-field performances. In January 1992 businessman Sir John Hall, who had led the Magpie Group consortium in a hostile takeover of the club, was installed as chairman. Sir John used his experience in property development to rapidly gain approval and invested heavily in the stadium with finances gained from success under new manager Kevin Keegan.
1993 expansion
The Leazes End that had been demolished but not replaced was finally rebuilt, and opened as the Sir John Hall stand for Newcastle's debut season in the Premiership in 1993. The Gallowgate End was rebuilt, the Milburn Stand modified, and a new pitch, drainage and floodlights were installed. With all four corners filled in with seating, by 1995 the stadium had reached a capacity of 36,610.
Proposed Leazes Park development
As the expanded stadium still received full houses due to continuing success of the team led by the returning Kevin Keegan, in 1995, plans were submitted by the club to relocate to Leazes Park to the north. A new £65m purpose-built 55,000-seat stadium would be erected, less than two pitch lengths away from the original, but rotated, which would be similar to the San Siro in Italy. The old ground would be redeveloped to be used by Newcastle Falcons Rugby Club, as part of the wider envisaged 'Sporting Club of Newcastle', with basketball and ice-hockey teams purchased by Sir John Hall.
Leazes Park was historically part of the Town Moor, owned by the Freemen of Newcastle, and protected by the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Town Moor Act 1988. The City council initially invited the planning proposal amid suggestions that the club might move to a site in Gateshead, a 75,000-seat stadium next to Gateshead International Stadium, but it led to political debate and opposition. A pressure group "No Business on the Moor" eventually gathered a 36,000-petition signature, equal to the then-current stadium capacity. Opposition also came from a conservation group Friends of Leazes Park led by Dolly Potter. The club proposed to mitigate the loss of the moor land with proposals for a land trade-off with landscaping of land freed up by scaling down of the existing stadium restoring the views of the historic park from Leazes Terrace.
It became clear that the relocation plan would not gain planning permission without a potentially long-running public enquiry. To quickly satisfy demand, the club decided to expand the current St James' Park instead.
Freddy Shepherd era
In 1997 Sir John Hall stepped down as chairman (remaining as a director until 2007, now life president of the club), and existing shareholder and board director Freddy Shepherd became chairman.
Following the withdrawal of the Leazes Park plan, the club proposed expansion of St James' Park to over 52,000 capacity, through major construction of a second tier over the Milburn Stand, Leazes End and adjoining corner, adding to a structure that was itself just four years old. After a refusal by the Secretary of State to take the application to an enquiry, permission was obtained in July 1998. For minimal disruption to seating capacity during construction, the project required 3-day shutdowns of work on home match days. 750 seats were lost during construction. During this expansion, executive boxes in the East Stand were demolished and replaced by seating blocks from pitch level up to the existing rows, in a mirror image of the Milburn Stand. The executive boxes were transferred to the new Milburn/Leazes complex, with more added to the Gallowgate End. During development, the additional stand and roof was constructed while leaving the existing cantilever roof intact until the last possible moment These developments increased capacity to approximately 52,143. The construction was completed in July 2000 at a cost of £42 million. Ironically, after opposition from local residents to the relocation plan, the expansion of the current ground at the Leazes End has further reduced the view of Leazes Park from Leazes Terrace, although this is now student accommodation.
Save Our Seats campaign
The 1998 redevelopment caused controversy when the club informed 4,000 season-ticket-holding fans that their seat prices would be increased to corporate rates, with the option of paying these or being moved to seats in the proposed expanded sections. Half of these fans were 'bondholders', who had paid £500 in 1994 which they asserted guaranteed them an option on their specific seat for 10 years. Some fans resisted, and after two high-court cases and a Save Our Seats campaign, the club was allowed to move the fans, under an exceptional circumstances clause. As a gesture of goodwill, the club did not pursue the fans for legal costs awarded over their insured limit.
Casino plans
In late 2003, preempting the relaxation of the UK gambling laws, the club signed a deal with MGM Mirage to hand over the land above St James Metro station, behind the Gallowgate End, in return for an equity investment, to build a jointly run complex centred on a Super Casino. These plans failed when the proposed number of super casinos was reduced to one in the UK, and in January 2008 £5 million was repaid by the club to MGM.
Gallowgate additions
In 2005 the Gallowgate was redeveloped, with a new bar being built beneath the upper tier of the Gallowgate End, named "Shearer's" after Newcastle player Alan Shearer. During excavation underneath the stand during building work, the builders uncovered the original steps of the old Gallowgate End stand, which had simply been covered up when the stadium was fully renovated in 1993. These steps were removed for Shearer's Bar. The completion of the redevelopment of the Gallowgate saw the creation of Shearer's Bar, an expanded club shop, a club museum and a new box office.
2007 proposed expansion
It was announced on 2 April 2007 that the club intend to submit plans for a new £300million development of the stadium and surrounding areas, to include a major conference centre, hotels and luxury apartments. The proposals also include a plan to increase the Gallowgate End, eventually taking the capacity to 60,000.
This expansion would be funded by the city council and linked to the redevelopment of the land behind the stand and over the Metro Station, which had previously been earmarked for the casino project. Expansion of the Gallowgate end involves difficulties due to the proximity of a road, Strawberry Place, and issues surrounding reinforcement of the underground St James Metro station.
Mike Ashley era
The 2007 redevelopment plans announced under the previous regime were put on hold following the takeover of the club and its plc holding company by owner Mike Ashley. One of the first noticeable changes in the stadium in the new era was the removal of advertising mounted underneath the roofs (facing the crowd) for Shepherd Offshore and Cameron Hall Developments, companies associated with the previous regime. A large advertising sign for Sports Direct appeared on the lip of the roof of the Gallowgate, visible from the pitch.
A full review of the club performed by the new management team concluded that stadium expansion was not a priority. For the start of the 2008–09 season, the away section was moved from the corner of the Leazes stand/Milburn stand to the other end of the Leazes stand, where it abuts the East stand, at the same upper level. The area of seats designated as the family enclosure were expanded, and certain corporate areas saw increased pricing.
The first home game of the 2008–09 season, at 3 pm on a Saturday, saw the lowest-ever Premier League attendance at the expanded ground, of 47,711, resulting in cash turnstiles. It was speculated at the time that this was due to the credit crunch; however, with the shock departure of Kevin Keegan before the next home game, future changes in attendances would be hard to attribute to this alone. The first game after Keegan's resignation, a league fixture against Hull on 13 September 2008, registered a crowd of 50,242 amid protests against Ashley and Dennis Wise. This was followed by an attendance of 44,935 on 27 September in a league fixture against Blackburn Rovers, which followed a record low attendance of 20,577 on Wednesday, 24 September in a League Cup fixture, the lowest ever attendance for a competitive first-team match since the 1993 promotion to the top flight, and a drop of over 4,000 from previous lows.
Although Newcastle's crowds inevitably fell in 2009–10 as a result of their relegation and the fact that Britain was still in recession, the Magpies still attracted a modern-day record average attendance for a club at this level with their attendance for the season averaging at 43,383. They also became the first club to attract a league attendance of more than 50,000 at this level in the modern era, and ended the season promoted as champions of the Football League Championship.
In October 2014, a scoreboard was installed in the far corner of the Sir John Hall Stand. The scoreboard was used for the first time on 18 October during a Premier League tie against Leicester City. However the game was delayed one hour, due to damage caused by strong wind to the paneling surrounding the scoreboard. Newcastle United later stated on their website: "Supporter safety was of paramount importance."
Renaming of the stadium
On 10 November 2011, Newcastle United announced that the stadium would officially be renamed Sports Direct Arena, as a temporary measure to "showcase the sponsorship opportunity to interested parties", whilst looking for a sponsor for possible future stadium re-branding. According to the club, the St James' Park title was dropped as not being "commercially attractive".
Previously, in 2009, the club had announced plans to sell the naming rights for the stadium. After protests about the possible loss of the name of the stadium, which included the tabling of an early day motion in Parliament, the club clarified the following week that the move would not involve the loss of the name St James' Park altogether, citing the example of 'SportsDirect.com@StJamesPark' as a potential stadium rights package. The following day, the club announced that the stadium would be known as sportsdirect.com @ St James' Park Stadium temporarily until the end of the season, to showcase the idea behind the package, until the new sponsor was announced. The stadium's official renaming as the Sports Direct Arena, or SDA, caused considerable perturbation amongst Magpie supporters.
On 9 October 2012, payday loan company Wonga.com became Newcastle United's main commercial sponsor and purchased the stadium naming rights. They subsequently announced that the St James' Park name would be restored as part of the deal.
Stadium description
Official names
St James' Park is spelt with James featuring one s and an apostrophe mark, as seen on the signage of the St James' Park steps outside the entrance to the stadium, and signage inside the adjacent Metro station. The use of an apostrophe is in contrast with the name of the Metro station itself, which is signed as St James Metro station, and with the street signs of the nearby St James Street and St James Terrace. Further, the use of one s and an apostrophe mark differs from the common convention of adding a second s to monosyllabic possessives ending in s, as is the case with the well-known public space in London: St James's Park.
The full stop after the St giving St. James' Park is both included and omitted by many sources, including the club's official website address information.
Post-millennium it has been debated both whether the written name should include an apostrophe mark after St James, and, if it does, whether the official written form should include an extra 's' after the apostrophe. Pronunciation of the name with a second 's' sound or not differs between both the local public and journalists, and is similarly debated.
In May 2008 BBC Look North examined the case for adding an extra 's', to denote the ground is "the park of St James". The club stated that the ground is named after its neighbouring street, St James Street, which predates the ground, although it was pointed out the road sign of that street, and that of the adjacent St James Terrace, did not feature apostrophes. The BBC stated that both local newspapers The Evening Chronicle and The Journal write the name with a second 's', reinstating it partially in response to reader complaints after a period of publishing stories without it.
The club insisted the name is pronounced without a second 's', whilst it was asserted by the BBC that older fans, in particular, pronounce it with two.
A professor of applied linguistics of Newcastle University stated that if a second 's' was added to the name, it has to ultimately be pronounced in speech. The BBC went on to state that according to the Apostrophe Protection Society, if the ground is named as the "Park of St James", the name of the ground is correctly written as St. James's Park, with the second 's' pronounced.
Commenting on the written form on Radio Newcastle a week after the BBC story, a different senior lecturer in applied linguistics also of Newcastle University stated that if the name is to denote "the park of St James", the written form should feature an apostrophe, but the use of an additional 's' after it is optional and both are correct.
Match-day programmes printed up until the late 1940s have written the name as St. James's Park. According to the club historian, the oldest memorabilia in the club museum refers to the ground as being pronounced without a second 's'. However, a match-day programme dating from 1896, reprinted in the match-day programme of a home match against Derby County (23 December 2007) depicts the stadium name as St. James's Park.
Other sources also support the idea that the name should have no apostrophe as found in the name of the adjacent St James Street
Regardless of the official name, the stadium is known by its initials of St James' Park (SJP), or the contraction, St James'. In reflection of the early use of the site, it is also often referred to as Gallowgate, not to be confused with similarly unofficially named Gallowgate End, the name of the south stand.
The stadium has a rough pitch alignment of north easterly. The four main stands are as follows:
Gallowgate End (officially the Newcastle Brown Ale Stand), at the southern end of the ground, named unofficially for its proximity to the old City gallows, and officially after the long association with the club of sponsor Scottish and Newcastle Breweries;
Leazes End (officially the Sir John Hall Stand), at the northern end of the ground, named unnofficially for its proximity to Leazes Park, and officially after the club's Life President Sir John Hall; The Singing Section was positioned in Level 7 of this stand.
Milburn Stand, the main stand, on the west side of the ground. Named after 1950s footballer Jackie Milburn
East Stand, whose name is self-explanatory, and the smallest stand of the four. Following the death of Sir Bobby Robson, a plan to rename the East Stand the Sir Bobby Robson Stand (or the Robson Stand) was drawn up. As yet, this has not been made official.
The unofficial new home of the singing section is located in the "Strawberry Corner" (South East Corner, located next to the Strawberry Pub) - between the Gallowgate End & East Stand.
Newcastle tor in chinatown.jpg|250px|thumb|View of the Gallowgate End through the Chinatown ArchThe stadium's location is close to the city centre, 500 m roughly north of Central station, the main railway station of the city. The stadium is bordered by Strawberry Place behind the Gallowgate, Barrack Road in front of the main entrance, a car park to the north and Leazes Terrace to the East. Further south is St James station, a terminus station of the Tyne & Wear Metro line to the east, although the main Metro interchange at Monument station, is situated only 250 m to the east.
The Milburn stand is the 'main' stand of the stadium, housing the main entrance, lifts and escalators behind a glass fronted atrium. The dugouts and player's tunnel is located in the traditional position of the middle of the main stand. Behind the seating terraces of the stands, the Milburn/Leazes structure contains four concourse levels, the Gallowgate End has three concourse levels, and the East stand has two concourse levels.
The stadium has an asymmetrical appearance from the air and from some angles from ground level, due to the discrepancy in height between the sides and ends of the ground. The height difference between the Leazes/Milburn complex and the East/Gallowgate stands allows views of the city centre from many seating positions inside the ground. Further expansion of the Gallowgate End could potentially produce a more balanced horseshoe arrangement of equal height stands, similar to that of Celtic Park.
The Milburn stand and Leazes end are double tiered, separated by a level of executive boxes; The East Stand and Gallowgate End are single tiered, with boxes also at the top of the Gallowgate. The three newest sides, the Milburn Stand, Leazes End and Gallowgate End are of structural steel frame and pre-cast concrete construction. In common with many new or expanded British football stadiums, the traditional box shaped 'stands' were augmented in the 1993 expansion by filling in the corners to maximise available seating, up to a uniform height. The Milburn Stand and Leazes End now rise higher than this level, covered by a one piece cantilevered glass roof. A further smaller stand section rises above this level behind the Gallowgate End.
The 1998 built steel truss cantilever roof above the Milburn/Leazes complex is the largest cantilever structure in Europe at 64.5 metres, eclipsing the 58 m cantilevers of Manchester United's Old Trafford.
The current stadium design offers an unobstructed view of the pitch from all areas of the ground. The Milburn stand is the location of the directors box and press boxes, and the main TV camera point for televised games.
Away fans for league matches were originally accommodated in the upper level, in the north west corner, which can hold a maximum of 3,000 fans. However, plans were made at the end of the 2007–2008 season to relocate the away supporters to the far end of the upper level of the Leazes End. This location has attracted criticism due to the poor view offered by being so far from the pitch due the height of the stand, and the 14 flights of stairs to reach the upper level. For FA Cup matches the lower section of the corner is also used.
The traditional home of the more vocal fans is considered the Gallowgate End, in the same vein as The Kop for Liverpool F.C. The Gallowgate End was the end that the team attacked in the second half if they win the coin toss. In recent years there has been unofficial fan movement to create a singing section in the Leazes End upper tier, partly to counter the away fans, and partly to recreate some atmosphere lost since the recent expansion over 36,000. This group of fans call themselves the 'Toon Ultras'. Level 7 of the Milburn Stand houses the official Family Enclosure. Due to the expansion of the Family Enclosure, many fans from the singing section have relocated to the Strawberry Corner.
In 2013 a group began to help 'Bring Back The Noise' as St.James Park, this being branded as 'Division '92'. This group first began at home to Metalist Kharkiv in the Europea League. From that date the group began to move from strength to strength with new aims set to develop a singing section within the ground for all league games.
As well as the normal Premiership football stadium facilities, the stadium contains conference and banqueting facilities. These comprise a total of 6 suites with a total capacity of 2,050, including the 1,000 capacity Bamburgh Suite containing a stage, dance floor and 3 bars, and the New Magpie Room, on two levels with a pitch view.
The stadium houses premium priced seating areas designated into clubs, each with their own access to a bar and lounge behind the stand for use before the match and at half-time. The Platinum Club, Bar 1892, Sovereign Club and the Black & White Club are in the Milburn Stand, and the Sports Bar is in the Leazes End
The Gallowgate End houses NINE, a sports bar and lounge, which is effectively another city centre nightspot in Newcastle, accessible only from the exterior of the ground. The bar is named after Newcastle United's famous number Nine shirt, which has been worn by famous strikers throughout the years, including Alan Shearer. The Gallowgate also houses a large club shop, a police station. The Milburn stand houses the main box-office. In the south west corner there is also a cafe and a club museum.
The stadium has a maximum seating capacity of 52,354, making it:
the seventh-largest club football stadium in England, behind Wembley Stadium, Old Trafford, Emirates Stadium, Etihad Stadium, Anfield and London Stadium;
the ninth-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom overall when including the Millennium Stadium (the national stadium of Wales), and Celtic Park (a Scottish club football ground);
the eleventh largest stadium in the United Kingdom overall when including the rugby venues of Twickenham in England, Murrayfield in Scotland.
Developments since 1993 have ensured the lower tier of seating of the ground still forms a continuous bowl around the pitch, below the level of the executive boxes. The club record attendance is 68,386 set in 1930 against Chelsea, when standing was allowed on the terraces.
Newcastle United have played their home league matches continuously at St James' Park. The stadium had not featured a scoreboard or big screen of any kind since the 1993 expansion displaced one from The Gallowgate end, although in 2007 bright red digital time displays were installed near the corner flags at pitch level. A big screen for the stadium was mooted as a possibility as part of a proposed new stadium branding exercise for 2010. On 18 October 2014 a large scoreboard was erected onto the side of the Leazes End, adjacent to the Milburn Stand. The first day of its use in a game versus Leicester City saw a one-hour delay to kick-off over safety concerns around the screen due to high winds.

The stadium hosted three matches during Euro 1996. Along with Elland Road it was assigned to Group B, which comprised France, Spain, Romania and Bulgaria.
The stadium was one of several venues used as temporary home grounds for the England team while the redevelopment of Wembley Stadium took place.
St James' Park also hosted some football matches in the 2012 Summer Olympics.

On 30 May and 31 May 2015, the stadium held the Super League Magic Weekend. St James' Park was chosen to host the event after the City of Manchester Stadium, which had hosted the event annually since 2012, became unavailable.
The event was considered a success, with the 2015 event setting both single-day and aggregate attendance records for the event. The Magic Weekend returned to St James' Park in 2016, breaking the aggregate crowd record in the process, and returned once again for 2017.
There have been two rugby league internationals played at St James' Park.

Sir Bobby Robson tributes
Sir Bobby Robson, a lifetime Newcastle fan who managed the club from 1999 to 2004, died of cancer aged 76 on 31 July 2009, five days after having been at St James' Park to watch the England v Germany charity trophy match played in his honour and in aid of his cancer foundation. Immediately after his death, St James' Park became an impromptu shrine to Sir Bobby, with thousands of fans leaving floral tributes, club shirts and scarves in the Leazes End for the following ten days. After a private funeral service on 5 August, a thanksgiving service held on 21 September at Durham Cathedral in Sir Bobby's memory was broadcast on two big screens for spectators in the Leazes End.

Leonard Edward Slatkin (born September 1, 1944) is an American conductor, author and composer.[1]
Slatkin was born in Los Angeles to a musical family that came from areas of the Russian Empire now in Ukraine. His father, Felix Slatkin, was the violinist, conductor and founder of the Hollywood String Quartet, and his mother, Eleanor Aller, was the cellist with the quartet. His brother, Frederick, now a cellist, traced the family's original name as Zlotkin, and adopted that form of the family surname for himself professionally. Frederick Zlotkin has spoken of the family lineage as follows:
"The Zlotkin/Slatkin lineage is Russian-Jewish. The first Zlotkin arrival to the US was Felix's father, grandpa Chaim Peretz Zlotkin, who came to settle with relatives in St. Louis in 1904; he (or the clerk at Ellis Island) changed the name. He probably came from the town of Mogilev [now Mohyliv-Podilskyi], from a shtetl (the Russians forced most Jews to live in villages outside of the major cities)...The Altschuler [Aller] side of the family is really rife with musicians. [My grandfather] Grisha's uncle, Modest Altschuler, was a cellist (making me 4th generation) and he had quite a career. Among other things, he did the St. Petersburg premiere of Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence Sextet. When he came to America he formed the Russian Symphony Orchestra (early 1900s)."
Slatkin studied at Indiana University and Los Angeles City College before attending the Juilliard School where he studied conducting under Jean Morel. He also studied with Walter Susskind at the Aspen Music Festival and School.[2]
His conducting debut was in 1966 when he became artistic director and conductor of the award-winning New York Youth Symphony, and in 1968, Walter Susskind named him the assistant conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. While in St. Louis, Slatkin hosted for three years a weekly KDNA radio station program called The Slatkin Project.[3] He left St. Louis in 1977 to become music director of the New Orleans Symphony.
He led a series of Beethoven festivals with the San Francisco Symphony during the late 1970s and early 1980s. These annual concerts, held during June, included the orchestra's final concert in San Francisco's War Memorial Opera House in 1980, which featured a performance of Beethoven's ninth symphony.
Slatkin returned to Saint Louis in 1979 as music director of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. The national profile of the orchestra increased notably under his tenure, and the SLSO became one of the most acclaimed orchestras in the country. The ensemble toured and recorded frequently, and impressed critics and audiences alike with its fine musicianship and creative musical direction. In 1985, he recorded the first digital stereo version of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker with the SLSO. (This was also the first complete Nutcracker issued on compact disc.) Upon the conclusion of his tenure in 1996, he became the SLSO's conductor laureate. His recorded work with that orchestra was represented on RCA Victor Red Seal, EMI, Vox Records, and Telarc. Slatkin became a devoted fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team during his tenure in St Louis, and has retained his interest in the Cardinals since his departure from St Louis.[4]
Slatkin was the director of the Blossom Festival of the Cleveland Orchestra from 1990 to 1999. Slatkin was music director of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. from 1996 to 2008.[5] Noted for putting the "national" back in National Symphony with programs highlighting twentieth-century American works, Slatkin received both praise for improving the overall quality of the orchestra and criticism for under-rehearsal of the NSO.[6][7] Slatkin was a guest conductor for the American Russian Young Artists Orchestra.[8][9]
In 2000, Slatkin became the chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In 2001, he was only the second non-British person to conduct the Last Night of the Proms (the first had been an Australian, Sir Charles Mackerras). This performance occurred in the wake of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks, and included changes to the traditional second half of the concert, most notably a performance of the Barber Adagio for Strings in honor of the victims.[10] He held this post until September 11, 2004, the 110th Last Night. There were reports of tension between Slatkin and the orchestra, whose secure finances were said to have "fostered a culture of superiority and recalcitrance," as well as negative concert reviews, which contributed to his short tenure with the BBCSO.[11][12] Previously in the UK, Slatkin was principal guest conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra from 1997 to 2000 and made a series of digital recordings for RCA with them, including the symphonies of Ralph Vaughan Williams. In 2004, the Los Angeles Philharmonic named him principal guest conductor at the Hollywood Bowl for a two-year period; he was subsequently given a third year in the position, with his tenure ending in September 2007. In 2005, he became the principal guest conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London.
In 2006, Slatkin was named the music advisor to the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. In that capacity, he conducted the inaugural concert of the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on September 9, 2006. In June 2007, Slatkin was announced as the next Principal Guest Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra,[13] and he assumed this post in 2008. On October 27, 2006, the Jacobs School of Music announced the appointment of Slatkin to the faculty at Indiana University as a part-time teacher of conducting and composition.
On October 7, 2007, Slatkin announced he had reached agreement on a three-year contract, followed by a two-year option, to become the new music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, beginning with the 2008-2009 subscription season. Slatkin stated that he would relocate to the Detroit area.[14] His contract in Detroit called for 5 weeks of subscription concerts in the 2008-2009 season, and 13 weeks in the 2009-2010 season.[15] Slatkin conducted his first concert as music director in Detroit in December 2008.[16] In February 2010, the orchestra announced the extension of Slatkin's contract as music director through the 2012-2013 season. This also included an announcement that Slatkin would take a salary reduction to help relieve the financial difficulties of the orchestra.[17] In November 2011, the orchestra announced the extension of Slatkin's Detroit contract through the 2015-2016 season.[18] In December 2014, the DSO announced the extension of his contract through August 2017, when it then becomes year-to-year.[19] Slatkin stated that the projected year-to-year part of the contract did not mean that he planned to leave, only that at his age "it makes more sense to stay flexible."[19] He also said, "We're in the fun part right now."[19] In December 2015, the DSO announced an extension of Slatkin's contract as music director through the 2017-2018 season, after which time he is scheduled to relinquish the music directorship of the orchestra and to become its first-ever music director laureate, holding the latter post at least through the 2019-2020 season. In the music director laureate role, he will program and conduct four weeks a season and advise on artistic and personnel matters.[20] Slatkin is credited with having rebuilt the DSO after a six-month strike and elevating it as a pillar of civic pride through innovative live webcasts and engaging community programming.[21]
Slatkin's compositions include The Raven (1971) for narrator and orchestra after Edgar Allan Poe, and Kinah (2015), an elegy dedicated to the memory of his parents, which received its world premiere with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in December 2015.[22] He published his debut book, Conducting Business: Unveiling the Mystery Behind the Maestro, in 2012.[23] In addition to his earlier Saint Louis recordings for RCA and EMI, Slatkin has conducted several recordings for the Naxos label, including the first commercial recording of William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience, which received Grammy awards for Best Classical Album and Best Choral Performance.[24]
On November 1, 2009, Slatkin suffered a heart attack while conducting in the Netherlands.[25] In May 2010, the Orchestre National de Lyon announced the appointment of Slatkin as its music director, effective with the 2011-2012 season.[26] With the ONL, he has recorded works by Saint-Saëns, Ravel, and Berlioz on the Naxos label.[27][28] In April 2016, the ONL announced that Slatkin is to stand down as music director after the 2016-2017 season, and subsequently to take the title of Directeur musical honoraire of the ONL.[29]
On May 4, 2019, a new radio program hosted by Slatkin, The Slatkin Shuffle, was announced.[30] On April 1, 2020 it was opened up to national distribution via Public Radio Exchange.[31]
In 1984, Leonard Slatkin won the Grammy Award for Best Classical Orchestral Recording with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for Prokofiev's Symphony No. 5.[32]
In 1986, he received the Decoration of Honor in Silver from the Austrian ambassador to the United States for outstanding contributions to cultural relations.
In 1990, Leonard Slatkin was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame.[33]
In 1991, his recording of the Barber Piano Concerto with soloist John Browning and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist with Orchestra.[34]
In 1996, his recording with the National Symphony Orchestra of John Corigliano's Of Rage and Remembrance/Symphony No. 1 won the Grammy Award for Best Classical Album.[35]
In 1997, he was awarded Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's Charles E. Lutton Man of Music Award at its national convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had been initiated as a national honorary member of the Fraternity in 1987.
In 2003, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts.
In 2004, he earned the rank of Chevalier in the French National Order of the Legion of Honor.
In 2005, the League of American Orchestras presented him with the Gold Baton Award.[36]
In 2005, he received Grammy awards for Best Classical Album and Best Choral Performance for William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience.[37]
In 2007, his recording of Joan Tower's Made in America with the Nashville Symphony won Grammy awards in the Best Classical Album and Best Orchestral Performance categories.[38]
In 2013, Slatkin was the recipient of the ASCAP Foundation Deems Taylor Special Recognition Award for his book, Conducting Business.[39]
Slatkin has been married four times. His first three marriages, to Beth Gootee, to Jerilyn Cohen, and to soprano Linda Hohenfeld, ended in divorce. He has a son, Daniel, from his past marriage to Hohenfeld.[7][40] Slatkin married his fourth wife, the composer Cindy McTee, on 20 November 2011. They moved to the St. Louis suburb of Clayton, Missouri, in 2018.[41]

Apple CEO: Cooperation to eliminate inequality, deeply encouraged by China's progress
Mar 25, 2018, 10:36am 2018/05/06 22:45:18 Sina Tech
The annual session of the China Development Forum (CDF) 2018 will be hosted on March 24-26, 2018, with "China in the New Era" as its theme. Apple CEO Tim Cook attended and spoke at the sub-forum named "Addressing the Challenge of Global Inequality".
SEE ALSO: Cook Posts to Weibo, Cheers for Contestants
Cook said that China has made large contributions to the wave of globalization that has created many opportunities and technological advances driving economic growth. But, he argues, that globalization has also widened the gap between the rich and the poor, and that Apple needs to solve the problem. "Inclusiveness must be at the heart of the global economy, and that is Apple's core goal. Addressing inequality is not only an economic necessity, but also a moral imperative."
Cook said that inequality is present in educational opportunities, job opportunities, salaries, and so on. Apple has done a lot of work in these areas, such as education, as a good way to improve inequality. Apple has developed courses and programming curricula for students and people of all ages, so as to develop a new generation of programmers.
Apple has also proposed a supplier education program. With 2.5 million suppliers returning to the classroom, Apple has provided tools for nearly two million Chinese developers. In the face of climate change, Apple is using 100 percent renewable energy sources in China and urging suppliers to follow this example. Apple also will not allow gender pay differences within the company.
Cook argues that the problem of inequality needs to be worked out by the government and the business community together. He said that he was deeply encouraged by China's progress in this regard.

We'll start with Joseph Holborow, born on 28 April 1898 in Knockdown, within the parish of Sherston Magna, Wiltshire. He was the youngest child (all boys) of Joseph and Mary (nee Teagle) Holborow.
The first record that he appears in is, in fact, the 1901 England census. The family is living in Knockdown with Joseph senior listed as 'shepherd on farm'. Whatever else, Joseph could afford for all three of his sons to go to school and to house his father, Henry. No doubt the income was supplemented by having a board – at this point one William Hicks. Mary's mother was a Hicks by birth so no doubt William was some degree of cousin.
Talking of extended family, next door seems to be living a G. W. Holborow, Esq. Gerald William Robert Long Holborow (to give him his full name!) was a third cousin of Joseph senior.
The next record Joseph appears in his baptism. He and his brother John were baptised on 29 March 1908 in their mother's home parish of Didmarton, Gloucestershire. As can be seen, their parents are still living in Knockdown, with Joseph being a labourer. (The other brother, Frederick, had been baptised at Westonbirt in 1895, 3 months after his birth.)
Skipping forward three years, we reach the 1911 census. Joseph's older brothers, aged 14 and 16, are now working on a nearby farm, whilst Joseph himself (aged 12) is still listed as a scholar.
Now I have to admit that I'm cursing myself. I remember scanning the below photo from a book as the caption originally read that two of the choirboys were Joseph and his brother John. However, nowhere can I find any reference to the book's title, subject (possibly historical photos of Didmarton? Tetbury? Leighterton?) or which boys specifically were the Holborow brothers. I believe that Joseph is sitting at the end with the longer face, but I could be wrong. There are at least 3 others that look like Holborows! So mea culpa and apologies for being a bad, bad family historian.
What next for Joseph? Like much for the world, Joseph's life was undoubtedly turned upside down by the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Two years later, aged 18 years and 2 months, Joseph signed up, swearing his oath in Cirencester. However, his official enlistment date is recorded as 1 December 1916, as this is when he was mobilized and when his service with the Royal Field Artillery as a Gunner began.
I will come back with a more detailed account of Joseph's time in the Army at a later date, but he certainly saw action in France and Germany. He was also 'awarded' 3 days of Field Punishment No. 2 in August 1919 for having been absent from parade. In F.P. No. 2 the prisoner was placed in fetters and handcuffs but was not attached to a fixed object and was still able to march with his unit. (Joe had also overstayed leave home in 1917 and was also once absent from parade – he received 3 days confined to barracks on both occasions.) He luckily escaped any serious injury (unlike one of his brothers who was shot in the buttocks). He was transferred to the Army reserve in November 1919, and then I assume demobilized shortly after.
After the war, he went back to life working on the farm, and returned to Didmarton, where he and the family had been living in 1916. Several years later he married Edith May Hurcombe on 28 July 1923 in the Chapel of Ease in Tresham (cover image). One of the witnesses, John Burrard Neale, had married Edith's cousin, Millie, the year before.
Edith was a little over 4 years Joseph's junior, and her father (Alfred William Hurcombe) was described as a shepherd in 1911, as his father was before him. Of particular note is that Edith was born in September 1902, with her parents not marrying until 2 November of that year. Her birth registration, therefore, is in her mother's maiden name of Robins. Interestingly, she was baptised after her parents married. Despite this, the baptismal register shows her full name as Edith May Hurcombe Robins, with only her mother Harriet listed under parents' details.
By 1911 the family had moved to Tresham, and other than being joined by a younger brother, Charles, there was also another youngster in the house: William James Meacham. I can find no familial link between the Meachams and either Alfred or Harriet's families so I can only assume that they knew the family on a personal level.
Little Edith with her mother, Harriet.
Edith's father actually worked on Burden Court Farm in Tresham for Dick Holborow (quoted in a newspaper article of 1921 as "the well-known young farmer"). However, shortly before Edith's wedding he moved the family to Heddington in Wiltshire (close to Calne and Devizes) when he became a shepherd at Netherstreet Farm. In the Heddington school logbook it is recorded:
6 October 1924 – 3 children from Leighterton admitted, Eva, Lucy and Emmeline Hurcombe.
Joe and Edith stayed in Tresham and two months after the marriage, their eldest son, named Joseph William, arrived. He was followed in fairly short order by four more children – the eldest daughter being Eva, my grandmother. However, by 1939 the family had joined Edith's in Wiltshire and was living up at Heddington Hill where the below photo of Joe and one of the farm horses was taken (it was also in Heddington that my mother was born):
Joe and Edith lived in Heddington for many years, but did move down into Netherstreet and then later to the village of Easton Royal.
They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary together in 1973, but unfortunately Joe passed away whilst visiting his daughter and son-in-law in Berkshire 5 years later.
Edith later moved into sheltered accommodation, but that didn't put a dampener on her zest for life or her ready smile. It is at this point in her life that I remember her. My mum describes her grandmother as the best person that she's ever known, and she was a proponent of 'you do for people when they're alive' – once they're dead they're beyond your apologies or guilt. Unfortunately this kind heart could be – and was – taken advantage of by people, but that never stopped Edith from helping the next person who came along.
Edith passed away on Valentine's Day 1990 in Savernake Hospital, near Marlborough and is buried, along with Joe, in the cemetery at Easton Royal.

Q: siginfo field si_signo appears to contain a random value I am trying to get things out of the siginfo_t struct. For SIGABRT (=6) I get
(gdb) print signo
$1 = 6

(gdb) print *siginfo
$2 = {si_signo = 0, si_errno = 0, si_code = 1689088, __pad0 = 0, _sifields = {_pad = {1689088, 0, 2097152, 0, 1, 6,
      -136419500, 32767, -9920, 32767, -134466304, 32767, 2, 0, -136446113, 32767, -134465040, 32767, -136425789,
      32767, 1, 0, -146454064, 32767, 4367061, 0, 4196947, 0}, _kill = {si_pid = 1689088, si_uid = 0}, _timer = {
      si_tid = 1689088, si_overrun = 0, si_sigval = {sival_int = 2097152, sival_ptr = 0x200000}}, _rt = {
      si_pid = 1689088, si_uid = 0, si_sigval = {sival_int = 2097152, sival_ptr = 0x200000}}, _sigchld = {
      si_pid = 1689088, si_uid = 0, si_status = 2097152, si_utime = 25769803777, si_stime = 140737351935828},
    _sigfault = {si_addr = 0x19c600, si_addr_lsb = 0, _bounds = {_addr_bnd = {_lower = 0x600000001,

      si_fd = 2097152}, _sigsys = {_call_addr = 0x19c600, _syscall = 2097152, _arch = 0}}}

The signo argument to my signal handler is 6, as expected. But si_signo in the struct appears to have a random value. Similarly, for SIGSEGV = 11:
(gdb) print *siginfo
$1 = {si_signo = 1, si_errno = 0, si_code = -134225552, __pad0 = 32767, _sifields = {_pad = {4196859, 0, 0, 1,
      -10368, 32767, -10352, 32767, -134224696, 32767, 0, 0, -140162064, 32767, -146519444, 32767, -1, 0, 0, 0,
      -146481208, 32767, -134465040, 32767, -10112, 32767, 0, 32767}, _kill = {si_pid = 4196859, si_uid = 0},
    _timer = {si_tid = 4196859, si_overrun = 0, si_sigval = {sival_int = 0, sival_ptr = 0x100000000}}, _rt = {
      si_pid = 4196859, si_uid = 0, si_sigval = {sival_int = 0, sival_ptr = 0x100000000}}, _sigchld = {
      si_pid = 4196859, si_uid = 0, si_status = 0, si_utime = 140737488344960, si_stime = 140737488344976},
    _sigfault = {si_addr = 0x4009fb, si_addr_lsb = 0, _bounds = {_addr_bnd = {_lower = 0x7fffffffd780,
          _upper = 0x7fffffffd790}, _pkey = 4294956928}}, _sigpoll = {si_band = 4196859, si_fd = 0}, _sigsys = {
      _call_addr = 0x4009fb, _syscall = 0, _arch = 1}}}
(gdb) print signo
$2 = 11

The strange thing is that everything seems fine in valgrind, but not when running the program outside valgrind. Compiler optimization level does not matter.
This is how sigaction is setup:
struct sigaction action;
memset(&action, 0, sizeof(struct sigaction));
sigemptyset(&action.sa_mask);
action.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;
action.sa_sigaction = signal_handler;
action.sa_flags = SA_RESETHAND;
sigaction(SIGABRT, &action, nullptr);
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &action, nullptr);
sigaction(SIGBUS, &action, nullptr);
sigaction(SIGILL, &action, nullptr);
sigaction(SIGFPE, &action, nullptr);

Re: What happens when bolt carrier latch spring is broken?
Good times! Let us know how it shoots!
I've owned & shot many many of these guns and have never seen one with a broken bolt carrier latch spring. Not sure what happened in the 2 cases you've had. It's unusual.
I wouldn't shoot any gun with a broken or missing part critical to the gun's safe functioning.
Hey ice-man, if you're able to email me that photo I'd love to post it here for you!
Welcome! And good looking classic rifles!
Beautiful pieces of Remington history!
Now that's a NICE set!!
Stock profile looks odd in some places. Wood doesn't look like walnut. I'm guessing a well-done replacement.
a decent amount of firepower there!
Another suggestion, if you're able to video your gun's extraction & ejection in high speed you can go back and see when/where the issue is occurring. That would be very helpful actually.
Thanks again for the info & pictures. Your rifle brings our database total up to 111 known examples. Comparatively, your FN is in VERY good condition! You've got a real prize there. It would be highly sought after in the USA. Enjoy it!
This is awesome! A stunning 81!!!! We operate a confidential database on engraved 81's... especially D grades. If you're willing, we would love to add yours. If so, would you email me?
And yes the carrier (and bolt) can be removed w/out a complete disassembly of the action.
What a cool photo!!! That dude was heeled, an autoloading Remington and a 1911 as a sidearm! If found as equipped in modern times, he'd be in big trouble in NY! How times have changed. Thanks for sharing.
Good looking guns, and you've got the cartridge spectrum covered, 25 and 35. The 25 sure is a fun gun to shoot.
These would be fitter/inspector stamps. There are many of them representing the many people, over the years, who worked on these guns. The markings are normal.

Love is All We Need, a UK based charity that supports children affected by the HIV/AIDs pandemic in South Africa, held its fifth annual Friend Raiser in Brighton on Saturday.
The evening was warm in Brighton and the welcome was even warmer atc. A UK based charity that supports children affected by the HIV/AIDs pandemic in South Africa, Love is All We Need was started in 2006 by a small, passionate band of Londoners wanting to lend a helping hand to South Africa's poorest communities. They currently support the Hope Centre, in Pietermaritzburg. The Hope Centre not only cares for 36 orphans, but also 600 child-led households in Sweetwaters, a nearby community where over 100 people die every week from AIDS.
A grim statistic certainly, but the message spread by the trustees and volunteers working for Love is All We Need was far from negative. Instead, after drinks were had and everyone was seated for the presentation, Lisa, Bev and Carol retold stories that, while often tragic to begin with, could surely not fail to warm even the iciest of hearts.
We heard the tale of HIV positive Seth and his brother, who were buried alive by their mother, herself mentally affected by AIDS. Luckily, through what's known as the 'bush telegraph', word filtered back to Gail and Zanelle of the Hope Centre, and the brothers were saved. Although Seth suffers from a speech impediment due to oxygen deprivation, he loves singing, which not only entertains everyone at the centre, but also has the added benefit of helping his speech.
Seth is only one of hundreds of children helped by the Hope Centre every day. The Centre hands out fourteen tonnes of dry food a month, runs clinics and beadwork projects and educates HIV positive children too ill to cope with normal school. They couldn't do much of this without the support of Love is All We Need and the kind donations from the public. In the future, these donations will be put towards building bigger premises with more educational and medical facilities, as well as providing more carers and support for child led households.
