(Brussels) After years of intense tension, the European Union hopes that the departure of Boris Johnson, Brexit champion, will be an opportunity to renew dialogue with London on Northern Ireland, but caution prevails in the wait of his successor.
“Boris Johnson’s reign ends in disgrace, as does his friend Donald Trump. The end of an era of transatlantic populism? Let’s hope so,” tweeted Belgian MEP Guy Verhofstadt, a staunch federalist and former European Parliament Brexit coordinator.
“Relations between the EU and the UK have suffered enormously from Johnson’s choice of Brexit. Things can only get better,” said the former Belgian Prime Minister.
For former EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, the departure of Boris Johnson “opens a new page in relations with the United Kingdom”.
“May it be more constructive, more respectful of the commitments made, particularly in terms of peace and stability in Northern Ireland, and more friendly with the partners of the European Union, because there is still a lot to do together”, he urged.
The European Commission declined to comment on this departure. She added that “political developments” do not change her desire to “seek solutions” to the dispute over post-Brexit customs arrangements in Northern Ireland.
Boris Johnson offered the Conservatives a historic majority in the House of Commons in 2019 and led the achievement of Brexit, the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.
But his desire to unilaterally reconsider a key text of the Brexit agreement, the Northern Ireland protocol, yet signed and ratified by both parties, has sparked threats of a trade war and strong tensions with Brussels, where he was criticized for failing to fulfill his commitments.
“No more credit”
“On the European side, Johnson no longer had any credit”, estimates Elvire Fabry of the Jacques Delors Institute but “he has not yet let go of the branch and the EU does not yet have complete visibility over the weeks and months coming “.
“The style will be different, more predictable” but “the same party remains in power. There is no disagreement on the line to follow in the relationship with the EU”, warns a European diplomat.
Among the names mentioned to succeed him, that of his Foreign Minister Liz Truss is not likely to reassure Brussels. “She was very offensive on the Northern Irish protocol, on a line very consistent with that of Johnson”, underlines Elvire Fabry.
This protocol, negotiated within the framework of the divorce treaty to answer the delicate question of the border between Northern Ireland (province of the United Kingdom) and the Republic of Ireland (member of the EU), was designed to protect the integrity of the European single market while avoiding a land border which would risk undermining the peace concluded in 1998 in Northern Ireland.
The Johnson government had accepted that Northern Ireland should remain de facto within the European market, establishing a customs border in the Irish Sea, with customs controls and formalities.
But this situation complicates supplies and arouses the rejection of the unionist community for which the place of the province within the United Kingdom is threatened.
London rejected Brussels’ proposals to ease controls in Northern Ireland and decided on a unilateral revision of the protocol, adopted in June at first reading by British MPs. This forced passage was deemed illegal by the European Union, which announced new actions that could lead to financial sanctions.
For Brussels, “the short-term priority is to re-engage in a dialogue on the protocol” because it is not a trade war which “will make it possible to resolve an absence of controls in Northern Ireland, unacceptable for Europeans”, concludes the expert from the Delors Institute.

In business some of the best laid plans of a business relationship can just fall afoul of the realities of the business environment.
Germany's biggest airline, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, in December 2007 paid $300 million for a 19 percent stake in JetBlue Airways Corp. There were big plans for feeding via JFK and the other points where the 2 airlines intersect. For the smaller airline it was a precursor to a number of deals that have seen them also tie up with some time rival American Airlines who also is in a rival Alliance.
But to be frank there has been little execution of the grand vision and Lufthansa seems to be pulling in its horns across the board. The German airline's plans for world domination included at the time expansion into the German speaking market and a bold run at different markets like USA (JetBlue), UK (British Midland) and the oft rumoured but never consummated take over of SAS. With a few bad quarters under their belts - and a general softening of traffic in the markets where its most heavily vested - LH seems to be pulling back. Its put the for sale sign out at Castle Donnington (the English Chateau that doubles as the HQ for BD), now the The Wall Street Journal is reporting that LH is looking to exit out of its relationship with JetBlue.
JetBlue and Alaska are the largest unaligned airlines (Southwest should be excluded from this list). Both of them have resisted combining with other larger airlines. AS has a slew of partnerships and has a strong feed as a result while shoring up a fortress on the North South Routes. Effectively AS has conquered the West Coast markets and solved that perennial problem of Mexico vs Hawaii by straddling both effectively. JutBlue has built a series of very nice hubs in Boston and JFK as well as a number of smaller ones across the country.
Perhaps what we are seeing is the precursor to a merger between these two feisty and mostly profitable strong regional airlines.
Now there's a thought.

When Continents and Tropical Islands Collide, Ice Ages Soon Follow
Mt. Bromo on the island of Java, Indonesia. An ongoing collision between a continental plate and this arc of volcanic islands is exposing rocks that take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which tends to cool Earth. In earlier eras, such collisions in the tropics led to global ice ages.

The key trigger, they say, is mountain formation in the tropics as continental land masses collide with volcanic island arcs, such as the Aleutian Islands chain in Alaska.
Earth’s climate is, to a large degree, driven by the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which traps heat and warms the planet. While fossil fuel burning since the Industrial Revolution has driven CO2 levels to heights not seen in 3 million years, CO2 levels have been even higher in Earth’s past, coinciding with warm periods when no major ice sheets existed.
In fact, Earth’s default climate seems to be warm and balmy. Periods with no glaciers dominated for three-quarters of the past 1 billion years.
Yet, half a dozen ice ages chilled Earth during that time, two of them severe enough to turn the planet into a Snowball Earth with ice covering much of the surface. What caused these frigid interludes?
In a study appearing in this week’s edition of the journal Science, the team concludes that when volcanic arcs collide with continents in the tropics — an inevitable consequence of the planet’s constantly moving tectonic plates — they trigger global cooling, resulting in a glacial climate with extensive ice caps.
Plate tectonics shifted the continents around over the past 500 million years, inevitably causing collisions. When collisions with volcanic island arcs occurred in the tropics (green band), they exposed rocks called ophiolites (orange), which sucked up carbon from the atmosphere and led to ice formation (blue) and global cooling.

Such a collision is going on now as parts of the Indonesian archipelago are pushed upward into mountains on the northern margin of Australia. The result is that there are mountains containing rocks known as ophiolites that have a high capacity to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Over geologic time periods, there is a balancing act between the CO2 emitted from volcanoes and CO2 consumed through chemical reactions with rocks. Rocks with abundant calcium and magnesium, such as ophiolites, are the most efficient at consuming CO2. When these elements are liberated from rocks, they combine with CO2 and make their way to the ocean, where they form limestone, locking CO2 into rock, where it remains for millions of years.
“Earth has a long-running carbon sequestration program,” said UC Berkeley’s Nicholas Swanson-Hysell, an assistant professor of earth and planetary science who designed the study with Francis Macdonald, a professor in the Department of Earth Science at UC Santa Barbara. “We know that these processes keep Earth’s climate in balance, but determining what causes shifts between non-glacial and glacial climates on million-year timescales is a long-standing puzzle.”
Unfortunately for Earth’s future, the geologic processes that consume CO2 are slow and unable to contend with the massive CO2 emissions that result from the burning of oil, coal and natural gas. Over millennia, Earth’s natural carbon sequestration program will restore balance, Swanson-Hysell said, but this will be a long wait for modern civilization, which has been so successful in Earth’s current, cooler climate.
The Appalachians came with a major freeze
In 2017, Swanson-Hysell and Macdonald proposed that a major ice age 445 million years ago was triggered by a collision similar to that occurring today in Indonesia. That collision took place during the first phase of Appalachian mountain-building, when the present-day eastern U.S. was located in the tropics. In the warm and wet tropics, the weathering reactions that ultimately sequester carbon are even more efficient, which resulted in less CO2 in the atmosphere and a cooler planet for millions of years. The UC researchers’ work built on a similar proposal by Macdonald and Oliver Jagoutz of MIT that such processes were important for cooling over the past 90 million years.
Over most of the last billion years, Earth has had little to no ice (white regions). However, ice has extended from the poles southward at least seven times, including today (blue), and twice covered nearly all of the planet.

The new study strengthens the link between such tropical collisions and global climate and was conducted by Swanson-Hysell, Macdonald and Jagoutz, along with UC Berkeley graduate student Yuem Park and Lorraine Lisiecki of UC Santa Barbara.
In the current research, the Berkeley/Santa Barbara/MIT team used state-of-the-art models of Earth’s paleogeography to reconstruct the position of such mountain-building events over the last half-billion years. They found that all three major ice ages over this time had been preceded by volcanic arc-continent collisions in the tropics, and that no collisions outside the tropics triggered an ice age.
“While we thought this process was important, the relationship between such environments in the tropics and glacial climate was clearer than we expected,” said Swanson-Hysell.
Some 445 million years ago, the Eastern U.S. (extreme left) sat in the tropics, where an island arc-continental collision created the Appalachian Mountains. That collision resulted in an ice age that lasted millions of years.

The team’s theory also explains why ice ages come to an end. As such collisions grind to a halt and less rock is exposed, or as the rocks drift out of the tropical rain belt, carbon sequestration becomes less efficient, CO2 levels rise as volcanic outgassing continues and Earth once again warms into a non-glacial climate.
Swanson-Hysell will present the group’s findings on Friday, April 12, at the annual meeting of the European Geosciences Union in Vienna, Austria.

Suchat and I awoke mid-morning Sunday to a blanket of snow outside the Air Force hotel at Ramstein Air Base, where we spent the night after touching down in early afternoon following our C-17 flight from Dover Air Force Base – a way station en route to Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. Talk about a nice facility! The hotel itself is modern and clean – 3-plus stars, easy. And it’s attached to a mall that may be the equal of Christiana in terms of size. But it’s a bit more exotic – there are stores and kiosks specializing in Egyptian and Turkish goods, Polish pottery, German beer mugs and wood carvings, and more. It also has a Base Exchange that runs the length of the mall – easily two long city blocks. The Air Force treats their people well.
In early afternoon, after clearing German customs and several layers of security, we boarded the same C-17, carrying the same cargo of replacement jet engines and armored vehicle parts, that we’d flown aboard from Dover. It was still plenty cold outside, as the jet’s wings had to be de-iced before we could take off. We lifted off around 2.
The 729th Airlift Squadron airmen who were passengers on Saturday were now our flight crew – half of them, that is. The other half rested during the seven-hour trip. That’s because after landing, the jet will get unloaded, refueled and filled with cargo being returned from the war, and the rested crew members will within a couple of hours take off and fly right back to Ramstein, where the cycle will be repeated with the unit’s other two crews, taking a short break and standing by.
All told, the crews will make four trips – two by each crew – between Ramstein and Bagram during this 11-day deployment from March Air Reserve Base, Calif.
“You’ve got to work it like a clock,” said Senior Master Sgt. Esteban Rodriguez, laughing. Rodriguez is the senior loadmaster evaluator for the 452nd Operations Group. He’s along to evaluate the 729th loadmasters but will serve as a loadmaster on the return trip from Bagram. So, like his counterpart, he had to rest up on the way from Ramstein to Bagram.
We’ve got it easy by comparison. A total of about 13 total hours in the air from Dover to Bagram, with an overnight break.
Seated across from us, this flight’s passengers include four young soldiers with the 173rd Airborne Brigade out of Vicenza, Italy. It’s their first deployment to the war. – William H. McMichael

Flooring today exists in so many colours, you most certainly won’t have any trouble finding a tone to match your tastes. Sure you can choose your favourite colour bubble gum pink but there are a few guidelines you should take into account before proceeding with making such a dramatic colour choice.
Luckily you have come to the right place. Below you will find a few tips and tricks to ensuring the beauty of your home for decades to come.
Colours compliment each other. No they don’t tell each other that they look good in those jeans or are having a nice hair day. Certain colours go well with others and others clash completely. For example you are not going to put down extremely dark floors if all your furniture is dark and your walls are pink. It just won’t work.
- When choosing colour take into account the size of the room, the colour of the furniture, the walls and the decor.
- Avoid using dark coloured floors in small rooms. Dark colour tend to make a room feel smaller.
- If the room has a low ceiling always opt for lighter coloured floors.
- If you have kids or pets go with lighter toned floors. They hid dirt, dust, and scratches far better than dark floors.
- NEVER MATCH THE COLOUR OF THE FLOORS WITH THE COLOUR OF THE FURNITURE. Things can get a little boring very fast.
- If you live in a loft, are young, and never want children then you want the modern look. GO DARK.
- Brown & Grey Tones are excellent for large spaces like an office. They add loads of character and it can act as a central part of the decor.
- Take advantage of flooring samples. Bring them home, place then next to furniture, walls, decor and see what works best.

Hardwood flooring has become more than just something to walk on. Remember these tips when choosing your hardwood floors and you will be guaranteed to love your floors for years to come.

Connecting with culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Victoria
The Immigration Museum collaborates with culturally and linguistically diverse communities to explore, document and present stories and experiences of immigration and cultural diversity in Victoria.
We work together to create Community Exhibitions and Community Cultural Festivals and invite community members to contribute towards planning for future initiatives, projects, research and development of collections.
Each community is unique, and this requires the museum to be adaptable and flexible in its approach to working with communities. The process for establishing and developing relationships with communities is on the basis of mutual respect, shared goals, open and honest dialogue and collaborative attitude. This process is important in establishing and building long term connections with Victoria’s diverse communities. What the community has to say.
Community contribution is key to the success of these projects. The Immigration Museum seeks feedback about the process from community representatives after each project; and this informs future approaches and processes. The Museum maintains ongoing relations with communities through annual community consultations and special projects.
The Museum is committed to developing strong and sustainable relationships with Victoria’s culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

Derrick Henry became the 12th player from the SEC to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday and fifth in the past nine seasons.
The Alabama running back joined Mark Ingram (2009) as Alabama's Heisman winners.
Only five SEC schools have produced Heisman winners: Auburn (3), Florida (3), Georgia (2), Alabama (2), LSU and Texas A&M.
Here's a look at those SEC winners.
Henry's assault on the Alabama record book isn't complete — the Crimson Tide play in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff on Dec. 31. The Bama junior has 1,986 yards and an SEC record-tying 23 rushing scores. He's run for a touchdown in all 13 games (18 in a row dating back to last season) and has four 200-yard games this season.
The redshirt freshman was a highlight machine. He threw for 3,706 yards and 26 touchdowns and also ran for 1,410 yards and 21 scores.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o finished second in voting and Kansas State QB Collin Klein was third.
Newton did it all: He threw for 2,854 yards and 30 TDs and added 1,473 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns in leading Auburn to an undefeated season with a win over Oregon in the BCS Championship Game.
Ingram won a tight vote with Stanford RB Toby Gerhart. Ingram won by just 28 votes. He ran for 1,658 yards and 17 scores in becoming Alabama's first Heisman Trophy winner.
Tebow did it all for Urban Meyer. He threw for 3,286 yards and 32 TDs and ran for another 895 yards and 23 touchdowns. The voting was closer than expected. Tebow beat Arkansas RB Darren McFadden by 254 total votes.
Wuerffel was a perfect fit in Steve Spurrier's Fun 'n' Gun offense. He threw for 3,931 yards and 39 touchdowns for the national champion Gators and beat Iowa State running back Troy Davis by less than 200 votes.
At the time, Bo's Heisman victory was the closest in Heisman history — he edged Iowa QB Chuck Long by 45 votes. Jackson ran for 1,915 yards and 19 TDs and averaged more than six yards per carry.
The junior was an overwhelming winner, beating John Elway and Eric Dickerson. Walker ran for 1,855 yards — he had at least 100 in every game but the season opener — and scored 17 touchdowns.
Sullivan became Auburn's first Heisman winner when he threw for 2,262 yards and 21 TDs and his four-touchdown performance against Georgia late in the season was the game that pushed him to the win over Cornell RB Ed Marinaro.
The first SEC quarterback to win the Heisman, Spurrier threw for 2,172 yards and 16 scores. He may have gotten the edge over Purdue's Bob Griese when he threw for a score, ran for one and kicked the game-winning field goal in a 30-27 win against Auburn.
MORE: Top 10 all-time Gators
Cannon easily won the Heisman and his punt return for a TD against Ole Miss when he broke tackle after tackle was his Heisman moment. He ran for 607 yards, had 200 receiving yards and totaled 1,334 all-purpose yards and had four interceptions.
He set the SEC passing record (at the time) with 1,392 yards in the air and 10 touchdowns. He also ran for 795 yards and another 17 scores in becoming the eighth Heisman winner.

IN THE WORLD,
FRIEND TO HIS SPECIES
[inscribed] Séminaire de Québec. 1864.
Printed at the Herald Office
To the Liege Men of every British Colony and Province in the world, the following Poem is humbly addressed by the Author;
A FRIEND TO HIS SPECIES
Kingston, U.C. August 1, 1822.
How beautiful doth writ appear, That’s Holy! It inspireth me. “He that hath ears why let him hear; He that hath eyes why let him see.” Should one take every thing for true Because ’twas said by BOYLE or COKE? As well might one give Guinea new, For little Pig that’s hid in Poke! No rampart ’gainst the cannon ball, Was ever form’d by bank or wall, So steel’d, to turn its keen impression, As juries are against oppression.
Liege Men and true, Permit a friend speak thus to you. Of justice you do hold the scales, Its’ sword is wielded by our King, Great George, who once was Prince of Wales, To whom all nations tribute bring. In fearful attitude and dread, He brandishes the two edg’d sword, To strike the unhappy culprit dead, When twelve Liege men do give the word. Aforetime this bright flaming blade, Was held in hands of TYRANTS FELL, [unnumbered page] Who of the world a desart made, Of every Paradise a HELL.
The ruthless wretch, the teeth who drew, Of harmless Jew, for thirst of gold, Stirr’d up a mighty, mailed crew, Of dauntless English Barons bold. The sneaking coward, Lackland John, Soon found himself in corner penn’d, And for enlargement, swore upon The HOLY CROSS, his life to mend. This was not all; no, no, forsooth; The barons draw made him swear like fury, He’d never draw another tooth, Save by the verdict of a JURY. Thus from a fellow, lacking Land, And lacking every many virtue, Was wrested the destroying brand; Now, neither King nor Judge can hurt you. Think not, howe’er, the barons meant, To mead the peoples’ sad condition: On rule despotic they were bent; This fact we learn from old tradition. As from the filthiest excrements, The choicest flowers and fruits do spring, So oft the savagest intents, The kindliest fruits of mercy bring. Thus from rebellion ’gainst a tyrant, Who, ’stead of King, should ’been a Carter, Sprung up, good Heaven! the world admirant, That noble flower, OLD ENGLAND’S CHARTER.
The youngling, nurs’d like an exotic, [page 3] Matur’d, imparts a wonderous charm, That’s fence ’gainst any thing despotic, Of tyrants frees us from alarm. It droop’d howe’er for many ages, For want of gardeners expert: We learn indeed from hist’ry’s pages, The mind of man was then inert. What is the diamond, let me ask, When first ’tis taken from the mine: Before the lapidary’s task, Hath the effulgence made it shine? A shapeless mass of harden’d water, Rough, unslightly, without price; But wrought by skilful artist, after, ’Twill buy a Peerage in a trice- So is man in state of nature, Wild, savage, brutish, like a hog, No better than another creature, Nor half as good, as faithful dog. But take him from his savage state, Give him culture, EDUCATION, He then becomes, Good God! how great! Fit to fill Arch Angel’s station. LORD OF ALL THIS GREAT CREATION. So great a blessing could not then, The heart of man appreciate, ’Cause few men dared to wield the pen, ’Fore sixteen hundred eighty eight. Through crude, untutor’d ages dark, Though sickly, still it vegetated, But glimmer’d like a dying spark, And pin’d like heart that’s lacerated. [page 4]
In sixteen hundred eighty eight, Occurr’d a glorious revolution Oh! let’s for ever mark the date, When fixt became our constitution. The flower, ’fore snatch’d from John the carter, By men of mettle and of might, Was languishing for want of water, In gloomy cavern, dark as night. The people star’d and look’d aghast, Quite horror-struck, as well they might, To see such beauty fading fast, For want of aliment and light. The cavern door was open thrown, The roof uplifted, as by sprites, Quick on’t the light of Heaven shone, And guarded t’was by BILL OF RIGHTS. It grew, good Heaven! how it grew! Leaves which before were sick and curl’d, Spread out luxuriant to the view, And shed their fragrance o’er the world. Their balmy smell so vivifying, Poor dwindling man resuscitated; And liberty when she was dying, By their keen scent was renovated. Their scent however comforting To Christian, Turk, and eke to Jew, To tyrants is a deadly sting, And puts them always in a stew. The gales that from old England blow, Have wafted it ’cross every ocean, Each distant clime, I think, I KNOW, Of liberty hath gained a notion. [page 5]
For now we find each tyrant dinn’d Who’s fill’d his country with pollution, By subjects against whom he’s sinn’d, With shouts of “OH! a CONSTITUTION” A constitution grand have we, That’s guarded by a chosen king, Of gallant stock, as e’er could be, Or ever did from Adam spring. But it hath still another guard, Of mighty import to it’s safety, Whose business is to watch and ward, ’Gainst machinations of the crafty, ’Tis jurymen, of whom I speak, That phalanx strung round liberty; As long as they do keep awake, Our constitution safe shall be. Then watch oh! watch, the crafty knaves, Like rats the structure undermining, Who with intent to make us slaves, Some new device are ever coining. Whene’er the steeled fangs of power, Are stretch’d to grasp the innocent, The charter comes, in happy hour, To save them from vile punishment. That great bulwark of innocence, That shield of truth, the Petit-Jury, Doth save mankind from gross offence, And baffle petty tyrants’ fury. Chief is the arm of power directed, ’Gainst men of public virtue rigid, Because from them is seen reflected, The monster vice, GRIM, PALE, AND FRIGID. [page 6]
Then, jurors, be on your guard, ’Gainst sycophantish, toad like croak; ’Tis yours, the levell’d blow to ward, From those who rend the VILLAIN’S CLOAK! Be ever firm, let no man sway You from the path of justice fair, For advantage of the fleeting day, And you shall prove God’s chiefest care. Of christians this best motto, grave, Hold fast, and keep it e’er in view, “Do to your neighbour as you’d have Your neighbour ever do to you.” To Heaven above ’tis the sure way, By ’thority of Christ all wise, When he did to the lawyer say, “Go thou, go thou and do likewise.” ’Tis for the UNIVERSAL GOOD, That treachery should be exposed, That knaves should be well understood, And from their offices deposed. What farmer hath a field of wheat, Who will not with the utmost care, Preserve the needful grain from cheat, And root out every single tare? So, if a rogue be magistrate, ’Tis then a duty paramount, To chase and hunt him from the state, Like tiger cat, or cat o’mount. And whoe’er doth so right a thing, Shall he be branded, an offender, Against his country’s laws and king? He’d better live ’mongst Turks at Bender. [page 7]
To such oh! e’er extended protection, ’Tis they who fight your battles for ye; Beware what’s told you, as direction, When upright men are dragg’d before ye. To answer charge of pointing out, Some grievous wickedness of sinner; Or putting junto vile to rout, who plotted mischief after dinner. Remember what a sage hath written, For your learning, and instruction; Then will you ne’er by wolfe be bitten, Nor e’er be lur’d to your destruction. In former times the wolves and sheep, Who had for ever been at strife, At length made covenant, to keep A peace profound while lasted life. But what are treaties ’mong the brutes? Nay, what are they even among men? Like strings of fiddles or of lutes, They’re made to break, and mend again. The wolves with appetites so keen, For blood of harmless bleating lambs; Pounced on all that e’er were seen, To stray far from the sloping green, Where graz’d secure their loving dams. The treaty broke gave instant ’casion To each side now ’gain belligerent, To set on foot negociation; To place mark’d out, each, envoy sent. The wolves picked out a wolfe select; The sheep sent forth a foolish Ram! Could any one therefore expect, [page 8] But that the sheepish cause he’d damn?
So it befel, for he agreed To give the wolves their faithful dogs, And to receive from them instead, Their cubs, he thought harmless as frogs. Th’ exchange being made, the self same night, The wolves, like devils on them pour’d, And ere again ’twas morning light, The silly sheep were all devour’d. To all Liege-men who are awake, The moral cannot be a puzzle; Reflect how much you have at stake; Permit no wolves your dog to muzzle. When ever you shall punish man, For acts that are both good and meet, Look on each other (if you can,) Sans horror as you walk the street. Should any man be press’d to death, For publishing remonstrance keen, I’d do it with my latest breath, E’en should my face most sure be seen, “ In hieroglyphick state machine” “ Contrived to punish fancy in.” Forbid it Heaven, forbid it earth, That any one should be so serv’d, Permit such horrors, and from death, How can this land be long preserv’d? I tell you now, sans hesitation, Some blasting flame or rattling thunder, Some curse, some dreadful visitation, Will cleave your teeming earth assunder! [page 9]
Think ye the Power which reigns above, Too judge of mortals here below, Will calm look on, and never move, To strike for innocence a blow? We’re often told a deal of nonsense, As how that truth’s a monstrous libel, But where’s the man that hath but one sense, Wont swear against it on the bible? This doctrine grave, was held long since, By Mansfield, and great lords: me thinks If now they liv’d, ’twould make them wince, To find how much their doctrine STINKS! Thank God howe’er it is not LAW! ’Tis the mere dictum of a few, Who ready stood with greedy maw, To gobble such as I and you. Unqualified, unhallow’d trash, From star chamber, RANK EMANATION; Oh! how many teeth must gnash! Of those who did defile the nation, With such a gross abomination. ’Twas hatch’d by fiends, the guts to squeeze, Of whoe’er dared to express, Belief, that moon is not green cheese; Or whoe’er meddled with the Press. To blast, and scorch them to a cinder, Or into icicles to freeze ’em; Of Devils’ match, it is the tinder, And injustice’s mighty besom! It stinks aloud REBELS ’GAINST SENSE, The commonest that God e’er gave, Oh! may we see it driven hence, [page 10] And buried in its authors grave!
One wily scheme of petty Rogues, To whom is sometimes delegated Small power; fellows without brogues, Who get puff’d up and then are hated; Is to lay out some broad foundation, On which they may securely raise, Themselves a wonderous reputation, And thereby gain both pelf and praise. For Loyalty to gain renown, And signal marks of royal favor, Their loyal neighbours they knock down, With grudge most deadly, rank of savor. The king (they seem to have a notion) Delights in outcry horrid, great; So up they kick a wild commotion, And swear, in danger is the state, Of “Radical” they raise the cry, ’Gainst the best subjects in the nation; Forthwith to drag from powers high, Substantial marks of approbation. If any man be doing well, They think it hurtful to themselves, And quick they wish him sent to Hell, The hateful scrubs! the wicked elves! That walks erect if one there be, It instantly doth give them pain; Oh! who with half an eye can’t see, Stamp’d on their brows, the mark of Cain! ’Gainst all such men I warn ye now, For if they get the upper hand, [page 11] No man dare show a many brow, In troth the Province cannot stand!!!
Foster such knaves within your land, And you shall smart, aye in a trice; In furnace better thrust one’s hand, Than let a serpent sting one twice. I’ll give you one great sign, by which, These miscreants vile, these blisters on the world More shocking plagues, than Bugs, or Lice or Itch, May sure be known, and to perdition hurl’d. Fix on their face, the penetrating look, In marks DEEP TRAC’D are painted there, So plain they cannot be mistook, The canting smile so soft, the HOLY LEER Eye ’neath their cuffs or pocket lid, And if you miss ’twill be a wonder, There to perceive a dagger hid, With which they’d rend your heartstrings ’sunder Like Judas, with sure aim they’d strike, For thirty pieces, aye or under, And kiss you at the time, (belike,) Great God! such villains crush with thy dread thunder! These blights so mark’d you’ve no excuse, Whether the same be in or out of power, To let them roam at large, quite loose, Like Tigers seeking whom they may devour. From such dread pests, such horrid villainy, Guard, oh! guard with zeal our teeming land, If like old Haman they not hanged be, I say again, the Province cannot stand. [page 12]
Yet hold! however much we hope, To see the Province rid of such dire elves, We need but give them plenty of stout rope, And, just like ’Scariot, they may hang themselves. The land thus purged, will bloom delights amain, And man live happy with his fellow man; Contentment, Peace and Love, here reign; A better country let those find who can. Our Monarch Great, how proud he’ll be! When Heralds to him tidings bring, How joyously and happy, we Live under his paternal wing. Now let us wish him a long day, Of day and of prosperity, And pray that all his subjects may Wish him for aye, THE SAME AS WE. No sycophant that e’er did croak, Could wish him better, I’ll be bound, What e’er he whisper’d ’neath his cloak, I’d on it lay a thousand pound. Of Liege men all, and honest folk, I take my leave, (and of John the Carter,) With my last breath I you invoke, To GUARD, OH! GUARD YOUR NOBLE CHARTER.

Priority Seating Information
The priority point system and ticketing
The Priority Point System is designed as a way for the Athletic Department to reward a donor's loyalty. The system awards a point for every dollar given annually to the Athletic Department and a half point for every dollar given annually to the College. The points are then used to determine the order for season ticket upgrade request as well as the ability to obtain tickets to away games and tournament play, based upon availability.
The points are cumulative and valid for a four-year cycle. At the conclusion of the fourth year all points are erased and the system begins again.
Friar Points- Example 1
Mary Friar earned her bachelor's degree from Providence College in 1985. As a proud alumna of the College Mary has an automatic 10 bonus points. As a dedicated "Friar Fanatic" she gives $5,000 to the Field Hockey program and $200 to the PC Fund. In addition, Mary has been a men's basketball season ticket holder for 20 consecutive years. As a result of her generous donations she receives a total of 5,150 priority points.
|Category of Giving||Point Calculation||Total Points|
|Athletics (1 point for every $1)||$5,000 x $1||5,000|
|PC Fund (1/2 point for every $1)||$200 x 1/2||100|
|Men's Basketball STH (2 points/consecutive years)||20 years x 2||40|
|Bonus Points (10 points/alumni)||10||10|
