Action leads to reaction; cause leads to effect. If you follow My laws and observe My commandments, Hashem tells us, great things will happen: you will have rain, crops, peace, all with Hashem in your midst. And the opposite is true too: if you don’t keep the laws, then (and we whisper or lower our pitch for this part) terrible things will happen. In Neil Simon’s ....
Mary Gaudin and Matthew Arnold photography book reveals how the Christchurch Style movement produced an array of distinctive modernist houses in the New Zealand city in the 1960s. JH Elworthy House is an example of a Christchurch Style home Adapted from a Danish housing model, these properties explored building materials and techniques that were highly radical in their context. There s a running joke that someone in 1950s Christchurch owned a book of contemporary Danish homes, and that denied all contact with the wider world, local architects set about endlessly recreating them with the limited materials they had to hand, Arnold told Dezeen. ....
Written by Jonathon James Nicholas Edwards: a scholar ever loyal to the crown. He loves bees and Oxford. Games are a natural educational tool. Crows can be seen tumbling with one another through the air, kittens play with dead mice before they hunt for live ones, and the Duke of Wellington is widely credited with saying that the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton. However they have their limitations. In reference to the Duke of Wellington’s quotation, the Victorian writer Matthew Arnold said “Alas! disasters have been prepared in those playing-fields as well as victories; disasters due to inadequate mental training – to want of application, knowledge, intelligence, lucidity.” One of the primary limitations of most games is the unavoidable way that a canny, unscrupulous player can use the rules to “game” the system. ....

In the latest incident in the Botley area last Thursday, a boy was hit by a car while he was crossing Cumnor Hill.

Meanwhile, battle raged over its future. Would the rundown Clarry reopen or be pulled down? And would Morris Garages which occupied the site behind - formerly stables for the horses which pulled the stagecoaches - be forced to move? Oxford City Council refused planning permission to build a Woolworth store on the site because, it said, the city needed hotel rooms. But opponents argued at a three-day public inquiry in 1952 that the building was so rundown that it was economically impossible to turn it into a modern hotel. The Minister of Housing and Local Government, Harold Macmillan, later Prime Minister, ruled in Woolworth’s favour, a decision described as a disaster for Oxford by the mayor, Mr A B Brown. ....
