Michael Portillo

Michael Portillo

Michael Denzil Xavier Portillo (born 26 May 1953) is a British journalist, broadcaster, and former Conservative politician. He was first elected to the House of Commons in a by-election in 1984. A strong admirer of Margaret Thatcher, and a Eurosceptic, Portillo served as a junior minister under both Thatcher and John Major, before entering the cabinet in 1992. A "darling of the right", he was seen as a likely challenger to Major during the 1995 Conservative leadership election, but stayed loyal. As Defence Secretary, he pressed for a purist Thatcherite course of "clear blue water", separating the policies of the Conservatives from those of the Labour Party.

Portillo unexpectedly lost the hitherto safe Conservative Enfield Southgate seat at the 1997 general election. This led to the coining of the expression "Portillo moment". Returning to the Commons after being given the Conservative candidacy in the 1999 by-election in Kensington and Chelsea, Portillo rejoined the front bench as Shadow Chancellor, although his relationship with Conservative Leader William Hague was strained. Standing for the leadership of the party in 2001, he finally came in third place behind Iain Duncan Smith and Kenneth Clarke.

Portillo retired from the House of Commons and from active politics at the 2005 general election, and has since pursued his media interests, presenting and participating in a wide range of television and radio programmes. Portillo's passion for steam trains led him to make the BBC documentary series Great British Railway Journeys, beginning in 2010, in which he travels the British railway networks, referring to various editions of Bradshaw's Guide. The success of the show led Portillo to present other series about railway systems in other countries.

Portillo was born in Bushey, Hertfordshire, to an exiled Spanish republican father, Luis Gabriel Portillo (1907–1993)  and a Scottish mother, Cora Waldegrave (née Blyth) (1919–2014).  Portillo's father, a devout Catholic, was a member of left-wing movements in the 1930s and fled Madrid when it fell to General Franco in 1939, settling in England.  He became head of the London Diplomatic Office of the Government in Exile in 1972.  Portillo's maternal grandfather, John Blyth, was a prosperous linen mill owner from Kirkcaldy. 

Portillo was registered as a Spanish citizen at the age of 4, and, in accordance with Spanish naming customs, his Spanish passport names him as Miguel Portillo y Blyth. 

In 1961, Portillo appeared in a television advertisement for Ribena, a blackcurrant cordial drink.  He was educated at Stanburn Primary School in Stanmore, Greater London, and Harrow County School for Boys[10] and then won a scholarship to Peterhouse, Cambridge.  While at school Portillo had supported the cause of the Labour Party;  he attributed his embrace of conservatism at Cambridge to the influence of the right-wing Peterhouse historian Maurice Cowling  In 1999, Portillo gave an interview in which he discussed homosexual relationships he had whilst at university. 

On 12 February 1982 Portillo married Carolyn Claire Eadie.

Paul Mescal

Paul Mescal (born 2 February 1996) is an Irish actor who made his debut in theatre. He starred as Connell in the Hulu and BBC Three series Normal People in 2020, which earned him a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.

Mescal was born and reared in Maynooth, County Kildare to parents Dearbhla, a Garda, and Paul, a schoolteacher who also acted semi-professionally. 

Mescal was an under-21 Gaelic footballer for Kildare and was a member of the Maynooth club.  Former Tipperary and Kildare Gaelic footballer Brian Lacey praised his skills as a defender.  His former county minor manager Brendan Hackett had Mescal down as a centre-back who would match Glenn Ryan, while Cian O'Neill described Mescal as "mature beyond his years for someone that young. Physically, he was very developed and very strong, he was strong in the tackle and a tight marker" and said Mescal reminded him of Paul Dempsey. He gave up the sport after a jaw injury. 

Mescal graduated BA in Acting from The Lir Academy at Trinity College Dublin in 2017.

ستونهنج

ستونهنج

ستونهنج (بالإنجليزية: Stonehenge)‏ هو أثر صخري من نوع كرومليش يرجع لعصر ما قبل التاريخ في سهل ساليسبري بمقاطعة ويلتشير جنوب غرب إنجلترا. يرجع تاريخه لأواخر العصر الحجري وأوائل العصر البرونزي (3000 ق.م. –1000 ق.م.). وهذا الأثر رغم شهرته حالياً أصبح أطلالاً. ويتكون من مجموعة دائرية من أحجار كبيرة قائمة محاطة بتل ترابي دائري. ويعتبر ستونهنج من أكثر الأثار الحجرية الضخمة شهرةً وحفاظاً في أوروبا. ضمت اليونسكو ستونهنج وفبوري والموقع المحيط في عام 1986 إلى قائمة التراث الثقافي العالمي.

حتي الآن لايعرف مايرمز إليه ولكن البعض يحدس أنه كان مركزاً احتفالياً أو دينياً، وحاليا يعتقدأن شعب جزر بريطانيا قد بدؤوا يشيدون هذا الأثر منذ 5000 سنة، وقد بينت الحفريات أن موقع ستونهنج قد بني علي ثلاث مراحل رئيسية:

المرحلة الأولى : تمت عام 2900 ق.م. وكانت عبارة عن خندق دائري قطره 110 متر وعمقه واحد ونصف متر. وعلي حافة الخندق الدخلية بني سد به تجاويف عددها 56 تجويفا.ويقال أنها كانت لحمل أعمدة خشبية.

المرحلة الثانية : البناء التي استمرت من سنة 2900 ق.م. –2500 ق.م. أقيمت مبان خشبية حيث أقيمت أعمدة خشبية جديدة قائمة في الأرض المستوية داخل مركز الخندق الدائري. كمانصبت أعمدة في منطقة منزوية شمالي شرق الخندق حيث مدخل الموقع.

المرحلة الثالثة : نقلت الأعمدة للبناء التي استمرت حوالي 2550 ق.م. – 1600 ق.م. وتتكون من 80 عمود من صخور بركانية زرقاء.

وهذه الأعمدة نصبت قرب مركز الموقع على شكل دائرتين متداخلتين. وكل صخرة تزن 4 طن متري.وأثناء هذه المرحلة كانت الحجارة الزرقاء بالدائرتين يعاد تفكيكها وترتيبها بطريقة معقدة. وكانت حجارة رملية كبيرة قد جلبت يطلق عليها سارسين قد نصبت على شكل دائرة قطرها 33 متر وتتكون من 30 عمود حجري على بعد 40 كم من شمال الموقع. ويطلق عليها نصب دائرة سارسين وكل عمود ارتفاعه 4 متر. وفوق قمم الحجارة الثلاثين دائرة منتظمة من حجارة سارسين يطلق عليها العتبات. ومثبتة بطريقة عاشق ومعشوق (لسان في تجويف بالنقر).

Stonehenge

Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds). 

Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC,  although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC. 

One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon. It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.  

Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings.  Deposits containing human bone date from as early as 3000 BC, when the ditch and bank were first dug, and continued for at least another 500 years. 

The Oxford English Dictionary cites Ælfric's tenth-century glossary, in which henge-cliff is given the meaning "precipice", or stone; thus, the stanenges or Stanheng "not far from Salisbury" recorded by eleventh-century writers are "stones supported in the air". In 1740 William Stukeley notes, "Pendulous rocks are now called henges in Yorkshire...I doubt not, Stonehenge in Saxon signifies the hanging stones." Christopher Chippindale's Stonehenge Complete gives the derivation of the name Stonehenge as coming from the Old English words stān meaning "stone", and either hencg meaning "hinge" (because the stone lintels hinge on the upright stones) or hen(c)en meaning "to hang" or "gallows" or "instrument of torture" (though elsewhere in his book, Chippindale cites the "suspended stones" etymology). Like Stonehenge's trilithons, medieval gallows consisted of two uprights with a lintel joining them, rather than the inverted L-shape more familiar today.

The "henge" portion has given its name to a class of monuments known as henges  Archaeologists define henges as earthworks consisting of a circular banked enclosure with an internal ditch.  As often happens in archaeological terminology, this is a holdover from antiquarian use. Because its bank is inside its ditch, Stonehenge is not truly a henge site.

Despite being contemporary with true Neolithic henges and stone circles, Stonehenge is in many ways atypical—for example, at more than 24 feet (7.3 m) tall, its extant trilithons' lintels, held in place with mortise and tenon joints, make it unique
