Introduction to Led Street Light

In the revolutionary period, the position was first established as the Minister for Irish. This was expanded as the Secretary for Education in the Government of the 2nd Dil. It was provided a statutory basis by the Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924, passed soon after the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. This act provided it with:

the administration and business generally of public services in connection with Education, including primary, secondary and university education, vocational and technical training, endowed schools, reformatories, and industrial schools, and all powers, duties and functions connected with the same, and shall include in particular the business, powers, duties and functions of the branches and officers of the public services specified in the Fourth Part of the Schedule to this Act, and of which Department the head shall be, and shall be styled, an t-Aire Oideachais or (in English) the Minister for Education.It also assigned it with the following agencies:

The Commissioners of National Education in Ireland.

The Intermediate Education Board for Ireland.

The Commissioners of Education in Ireland (Endowed Schools).

The Inspector of Reformatory and Industrial Schools.

The Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland (business and functions relating to Technical Instruction only).

The College of Science.

The Geological Survey in Ireland.

The National Museum of Science and Art.

The National Library of Ireland.

The National Gallery of Ireland.

The Metropolitan School of Art.

Meteorological Services.In the early years of the state, the main focus was on running the National School primary system. Free secondary education was provided from 1968. The Department also had the task of overseeing reformatory and industrial schools from 1922. The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, which reported in 2009 (the "Ryan Report"), found that this was rarely achieved.

Alteration of name and transfer of functionsThe name and functions of the department have changed by means of statutory instruments.

PhysicalThe plain-tailed wren measures between 16 and 16.5cm. The back, wings, and tail are rufous, with an olive cast on the back. The belly and other underparts are buffy-gray, and the head is gray with black and white stripes (superciliary, malar, and submalar stripes). The bill is gray and slightly decurved. The plain-tailed is large for a wren, but shows the characteristic short tail shared by the family. As the name suggests, it is unique among wrens because its tail lacks any barring.

Plain-tailed wrens on the western slope of the Andes tend to have heavy black spotting on the breast, while eastern-slope birds show no such markings.

VocalizationsThe plain-tailed wren sings a rolling, repetitive song. Males and females and even groups of wrens are known to join in duets. Two-part choruses usually take an ABCD form, where the male contributes the A and C phrases and the female sings during B and D. Group choruses are thought to be used in mutual territory defense to intimidate intruding individuals.

Singing pairs of plain-tailed wrens take co-operation a stage further than human couples who finish off each other's sentences, research has shown. Males and females perform intimate duets in which they alternate

syllables so quickly it sounds as if a single bird is singing.

Scientists led by Dr Eric Fortune and Dr Melissa Coleman (Claremont College, Claremont CA, US) discovered that the brains of both birds process the entire duet, not just each bird's own contribution.

The research, reported in the journal Science, involved recording duets sung by wrens in the bamboo forests of Ecuador's Antisana volcano.

At Durham, students had the traditional medical sciences taught alongside their clinical relevance. For example, just before learning the physiology of the lungs, a case was presented about a girl admitted to an Accident and Emergency department with shortness of breath and other symptoms of asthma. Once the topic had been taught, a "case round-up session" was held, where formative questions were asked, some with more clinical relevance.

The curriculum also meant that while, for example, learning the physiology of the lungs, their anatomy and embryological development were also taught by other departments (anatomy and embryology respectively).

The curriculum was broadly taught in the following strands, with some departments spanning many, for example, anatomy and embryology:

Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Renal Medicine (CVRR)

Medicine in the Community (MiC)

Personal and Professional Development (PPD)

Life Cycle (LC)

Foundation Case (CF)

Clinical Sciences and Investigative Medicine (CSIM)

Thoughts, Senses and Movements (TSM) (Formerly known as Neurological and Skeletomotor Systems)

Nutrition, Metabolism and Endocrinology (NME)

Student Selected Component (SSC)The Foundation Case was only taught in the first three weeks of the course in the first year, and its aim was to integrate the fundamental parts of preclinical medicine. During this time, a sufferer of the disease studied, cystic fibrosis (hence the abbreviation CF), paid a visit to the medical school and students posed questions of the disease's impact on the individual and their family.

This integrated curriculum also had implications for the students, in that they had very early patient contact, some within weeks, in the form of the Family Project, where students followed a pregnant woman through her pregnancy and into the first few months of life of the newborn in groups of two or three, and also in the form of hospital visits.

Admiral of the Fleet Sir John Norris PC (1670 or 1671 13 June 1749) was a Royal Navy officer and Whig politician. After serving as a junior officer during the Nine Years' War and the Williamite War in Ireland, he was given command of a squadron sent to North America to protect British settlements on the banks of Hudson Bay in 1697. Although he developed a plan to recapture some territories in Newfoundland and Labrador taken by French forces the previous winter, he was prevented from implementing that plan when the local council overruled him.

Norris served under Admiral Sir George Rooke at the Battle of Cdiz at an early stage of the War of the Spanish Succession. He went on to command the vanguard at the Battle of Malaga in August 1704 and then served under Admiral the Earl of Peterborough at the capture of Barcelona in October 1705.

As a flag officer, Norris was sent with a fleet to the Baltic Sea to support a coalition of naval forces from Russia, Denmark and Hanover taking in the Great Northern War. Tsar Peter took personal command of the coalition fleet and appointed Norris as his deputy in 1716: together they protected British and other allied merchant vessels from attack by warships of the Swedish Empire. In November 1718, following the death of Charles XII of Sweden, Britain switched sides and Norris returned to the region to protect British merchant shipping from attack by Russian raiders. Norris also acted as a commissioner in the negotiations leading to the Treaty of Nystad which ended the War in September 1721.

Norris went on to be commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet at the outset of the War of Jenkins' Ear in 1739. In 1744 he was asked to defend Britain from an imminent French Invasion: he was preparing for battle against the French fleet, when storms intervened scattering the invasion transports, with heavy loss of life, thereby ending the immediate threat of invasion.

In the West, the Ross faction blamed Ridge and the other signers of the Treaty of New Echota for the 4,000 deaths along the trail in the Removal as well as the loss of communal lands. In June 1839, Major Ridge, his son John, and nephew Elias Boudinot, were executed in accordance with the Cherokee Blood Law by Cherokee of the Ross faction. They tried to kill Elias' brother Stand Watie, but he survived. Other Treaty Party members were later killed, starting a wave of violence within the nation.

Among Ridge's killers was Bird Doublehead. Ridge had killed his father Chief Doublehead under orders by the National Council. Another of his killers was James Foreman, Bird's half-brother. In 1842 Stand Watie, Ridge's nephew, killed Foreman. In 1845 opponents killed his younger brother, Thomas Watie. The cycle of retaliatory violence within the Cherokee resulted in the deaths of all the other Watie family males of that generation. Stand Watie survived the violence of the 1840s, when the Cherokee conflict descended into virtual civil war. In the 1850s, Watie was tried in Arkansas for Foreman's murder but was acquitted on grounds of self-defense; he was defended by his brother Elias' son, Elias Cornelius Boudinot.

Tribal divisions were exacerbated by the outbreak of the American Civil War. Many Cherokee supported the Confederacy, despite the Southern governments having pushed them out. The Confederacy officials now suggested they would recognize an independent Indian state if successful in creating an independent nation. Stand Watie served as Principal Chief (1862-1866) of the pro-Confederate Cherokee after Ross and many Union-supporters withdrew to another location. He served as a Confederate general and was the last to surrender to Union troops.

Kunath first became interested in aviation when she visited Bremen Airport with her brother and father in 1922. 10 years later she and two other women enrolled in pilot training at the Bremen Academy of Aviation; the other women eventually withdrew from their studies and Kunath became Bremen's first woman pilot, graduating in 1934.

In the build-up to World War II aeroplanes in Germany were predominantly used for military training, and Kunath found it difficult to find aircraft to fly. Instead, in 1938, she took up gliding and founded a women's gliding group, which she led until 1943. With the outbreak of war, women were asked to transport aeroplanes or instruct pilots, however Kunath declined these positions. Instead she trained young women as pilots in Wildeshausen and Garstedt.

In 1951, following the end of the war, Kunath renewed her gliding license and in 1956 renewed her light aircraft licence. From 1968 she was involved in the Association of German Pilots, holding the position of press officer and chair of Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Bremen, and was a founding member of the Lauenburg Aero Club. She was also Governor of the German branch of the Fderation des Pilotes Europenes.

Kunath continued to fly into her later years, and at the age of 84 was named Germany's oldest pilot.

Personal lifeIn 1955 Kunath married Werner Hbner.

RecognitionHanna-Kunath-Strae (Hanna-Kunath Street) in Bremen-Neustadt at Bremen Airport was named after her in 1995.
