Institutional memory is a collective set of facts, concepts, experiences and know-how held by a group of people. As it transcends the individual, it requires the ongoing transmission of these memories between members of this group. Elements of institutional memory may be found in corporations, professional groups, government bodies, religious groups, academic collaborations and by extension in entire cultures.

Institutional memory may be encouraged to preserve an ideology or way of work in such a group. Conversely, institutional memory may be ingrained to the point that it becomes hard to challenge if something is found to contradict that which was previously thought to have been correct.

Institutional knowledge

Institutional knowledge is gained by organizations translating historical data into useful knowledge and wisdom. Memory depends upon the preservation of data and also the analytical skills necessary for its effective use within the organization.

Religion is one of the significant institutional forces acting on the collective memory attributed to humanity. Alternatively, the evolution of ideas in Marxist theory, is that the mechanism whereby knowledge and wisdom are passed down through the generations is subject to economic determinism. In all instances social systems, cultures and organizations have an interest in controlling and using institutional memories.

Organizational structure determines the training requirements and expectations of behaviour associated with various roles. This is part of the implicit institutional knowledge. Progress to higher echelons requires assimilation of this, and when outsiders enter at a high level, effectiveness tends to deteriorate if this morale is unjustly ignored.

Literature and documents

Publishing has changed greatly in its organization, financing, distribution, and bottom line emphasis. The dissemination of knowledge in printed media has been consolidated under the control of a relatively few corporate publishers, many with ties to mass entertainment multi-national conglomerates.

Personal reminiscences

Memories were shared and sustained across generations before writing appeared. Some of the oral tradition can be traced, distantly, back to the dawn of civilization, but not all past societies have left any mark on the present.

George Ward Gunn

Jump to: navigation, search

George Ward Gunn VC MC (26 July 1912- 21 November 1941) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Details

A former pupil of Sedbergh School and Mostyn House, Gunn was 29 years old, and a Second Lieutenant in the 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, British Army during the Second World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 21 November 1941 at Sidi Rezegh, Libya, an attack by 60 German tanks was countered by four anti-tank guns under the command of Second Lieutenant Gunn. During the engagement this officer drove from gun to gun in an unarmoured vehicle, encouraging his men, and when three of his guns were destroyed and the crew of the fourth, except the sergeant, were all dead or disabled, he took charge of this remaining weapon, the portee of which was alight. There was danger of the flames exploding the ammunition with which the portee was loaded, but he managed to fire 50 rounds from the QF 2 pounder gun and set two enemy tanks on fire before he himself was killed by being shot through the head. A memorial to him stands in his old school, Sedbergh, and at Mostyn House commemorating his brave deeds.

The medal

His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Royal Artillery Museum (Woolwich, England).

Frederick Abberline

Jump to: navigation, search

An illustration of Abberline from an 1888 newspaper

Frederick George Abberline (8 January 1843 in Blandford Forum, Dorset – 10 December 1929) was a Chief Inspector for the London Metropolitan Police and was a prominent police figure in the investigation into the Jack the Ripper murders of 1888.

Contents 1 Early life 2 Police career 3 Personal life 4 Abberline in popular culture 5 References 6 External links

Early life

Frederick Abberline was the son of Edward Abberline, a saddlemaker and Sheriff’s Officer and Clerk of the Market, minor local government positions, and his wife Hannah (née Chinn). Edward Abberline died in 1849, and his widow opened a small shop and brought up her four children, Emily, Harriett, Edward and Frederick, alone.

Police career

Frederick was a clockmaker until he left home to go to London, where he enlisted in the Metropolitan Police on 5 January 1863, being appointed to N Division (Islington) with the Warrant Number 43519. PC Abberline so impressed his superiors that they promoted him to Sergeant two years later on 19 August 1865. On his promotion he moved to Y Division (Highgate). Throughout 1867 he investigated Fenian activities as a plain clothes officer. He was promoted to Inspector on 10 March 1873, and three days later, on 13 March transferred to H Division in Whitechapel. On 8 April 1878 Abberline was appointed Local Inspector in charge of H Division’s CID.

On 26 February 1887 Abberline transferred to A Division (Whitehall), and then moved to CO Division (Central Office) at Scotland Yard on 19 November 1887, being promoted to Inspector First-Class on 9 February 1888 and to Chief Inspector on 22 December 1890. Following the murder of Mary Ann Nichols on 31 August 1888, Abberline was seconded back to Whitechapel due to his extensive experience in the area. He was placed in charge of the various detectives investigating the Ripper murders. Chief Inspector Walter Dew, then a detective constable in Whitechapel’s H Division in 1888, knew Abberline and, while describing him as sounding and looking like a bank manager, also stated that his knowledge of the area made him one of the most important members of the Whitechapel murder investigation team.

Among the many suspects in the case, Abberline’s primary suspect was Severin Antoniovich Klosowski, aka George Chapman.

Abberline was subsequently involved in the investigation of the Cleveland Street scandal in 1889. Chief Inspector Abberline retired from the police on 8 February 1892, having received 84 commendations and awards, and worked as a private enquiry agent, including three seasons at Monte Carlo, before taking over the European Agency of the famous Pinkerton National Detective Agency of America, for whom he worked for 12 years.

Personal life

Abberline was married twice: once in March 1868 to 25-year-old Martha Mackness, the daughter of a labourer, from Elton, Northamptonshire; she died of tuberculosis two months after the marriage. On 17 December 1876, a decade before the Ripper murders, Abberline married 32-year-old Emma Beament, the daughter of a merchant, from Hoxton New Town, Shoreditch. Although they had no children, there is no credible evidence that the couple were unhappy, and the marriage lasted until Frederick’s death over 50 years later. On his retirement from the Pinkerton Detective Agency in 1904 Abberline retired to Bournemouth.

Frederick George Abberline died in 1929 aged 86 at his home, “Estcourt”, 195 Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth, and was buried in Bournemouth at Wimborne Road Cemetery. In 2007, following a campaign for Abberline’s unmarked grave to be recognised, and with the approval of his surviving relatives, a black granite headstone, inscribed and donated by a local stonemason, was erected on the grave where Abberline and his second wife Emma are buried . A blue plaque commemorating Abberline was unveiled at 195 Holdenhurst Road (now divided into flats) on 29 September 2001.

Abberline in popular culture

Several fictional retellings of the events surrounding the Jack the Ripper murders have cast Abberline in a central role. The suggestion is often but erroneously made for the sake of drama that Abberline was unmarried and formed an attachment to one of the women connected to the events. The two most popular film depictions have also cast him as an addict, for which there is no known historical basis.

• Abberline was played by Michael Caine in a 1988 television film called Jack the Ripper. Here, the character was an aging alcoholic whose quest to solve the murder gives him the strength to give up drinking.

• A fictionalized Abberline was featured as a central figure in Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s graphic novel From Hell (1991-1999), and subsequently portrayed by Johnny Depp in the very liberal film adaptation of that work (2001). The graphic novel paints him as a sulky but sympathetic policeman, different from his peers only in his moralism and being overweight, and takes pains to include little-known details of his life such as his involvement with the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. The film’s version of Abberline was portrayed as an intelligent detective who is ahead of his time in his deductive techniques. He is also portrayed as being clairvoyant, allowing the filmmakers to ascribe to Abberline the contributions of spiritualist and psychic Robert James Lees. Although Abberline is addicted to opium and absinthe, he is a decent man who ultimately goes on a crusade against very powerful governmental and upper-class figures to stop the grotesque murders of Jack the Ripper. In the film Abberline dies of an overdose in his late 30s; in reality,he died of natural causes aged 86.

• Abberline was played by Gordon Christie in the 1973 TV miniseries Jack the Ripper.

• In “The Ripper”, an episode of the TV series The Collector, Abberline was played by Robert Wisden.

• Abberline appears as a character in several of the Inspector Lestrade novels by M. J. Trow. He is generally depicted as incompetent and obstructive. The first novel in the series, The Adventures of Inspector Lestrade (1985), ISBN 0333384474, deals with the aftermath of the Ripper case.

• Abberline was used as a model for the character “Fred Abberline” in Kuroshitsuji.

• A Scotland Yard inspector called Francis Aberline plays a key role in the 2010 horror thriller The Wolfman. Francis Aberline, played by Hugo Weaving, is a fictionalized Frederick Abberline, who comes to investigate the savage killings occurring in the fictional English village of Blackmoor. Lawrence Talbot, played by Benicio del Toro, makes a mocking reference to Aberline’s investigation of the Ripper case. “Francis” was Frederick Abberline’s real-life nickname.

Political position	Far-left

Politics of Sri Lanka Political parties Elections

Ceylon Communist Party (Maoist) is a political party in Sri Lanka. The party surged in 1964 following a split in the Ceylon Communist Party. Initially the party just called itself ‘Ceylon Communist Party’ as well, and was distinguished from the main CCP by denomintions like ‘Ceylon Communist Party (Peking Wing)’, etc. In the end of the 1960s the party was one of the major leftist parties in the country. The general secretary was N. Shanmugathasan.

Following the death of Mao Zedong and the take-over in China by Deng Xiaoping, the party strongly denounced the new line of the Chinese leadership. The party regrouped internationally amongst those who reaffirmed Maoism, and was one of the signatories of the founding declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.

The strength of the party did however decline, and it suffered several splits. In 1991 a conference was held which reconstructed it as ‘Ceylon Communist Party (Maoist)’. Shanmugathasan led the party until his death in 1993.

Gilgandra, a town and Local Government Area (see Gilgandra Shire Council) in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the junction of the Newell Highway, Oxley Highway and Castlereagh Highway and can be reached in about six hours by car from Sydney, and lies on the Castlereagh River. Like Coonabarabran, Gilgandra can be considered to be a gateway to the Warrumbungles National Park. At the 2006 census, Gilgandra had a population of 2,679 people. The name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘long waterhole’ and may be related to fact that town stands on Castlereagh River.

History

The town was proclaimed in 1888 and the first town blocks were sold in 1889. The area had been previously settled and Gilgandra’s first Post Office was established in 1867 and in 1881 a local school opened, and the first court hearing in the Gilgandra court house was in 1884. The shire was constituted in 1906.

During World War I, a recruitment march to Sydney began in Gilgandra. The march was known as the ‘Cooee March’, after the distinct call of “cooee” they shouted at each town along their journey to attract recruits. Twenty-six men left Gilgandra on 10 October 1915. They were feted at each town on the route and recruitment meetings were held. By the time they reached Sydney just over one month later on 12 November, the numbers had swelled to 263 recruits.

Geography

The geography of Gilgandra is very flat. The soil is composed mostly of sand, making it very porous and difficult to grow certain plants. The weather is hot and dry, reaching over 40°C for consecutive days during summer. In winter the temperature can reach as low as -2°C with large frosts leaving snow like blankets on the ground. During 1955, Gilgandra was flooded. This caused havoc throughout the small town. Fortunately, no one was killed but damage left behind was massive. In recent years, the town has suffered badly from drought.

Other Major Buildings

There is a hospital, and medical centres. Recently in 2009, a new Supa IGA supermarket was opened. A tavern, cafe, plaza and public toilets are also under development whilst the town is already host to many cafes, another supermarket (5 Star), museums, gift shops, 2 Chinese restaraunts, various clothes stores including Target and several hotels.

Sport

The Gilgandra Panthers play in the Castlereagh Cup rugby league competition. There is also a junior rugby league and netball club which plays in the group 14 competition. The town is also home to a soccer club, swimming club, touch football and has local tennis competitions and a gym. Gilgandra hosts the Windmill Carnival every year. This basketball event attracts many teams from all over the state. Little Athletics is another popular sport among the youth of Gilgandra. The annual Gift again draws vistors to the town.

Gilgandra also has its own cricket competition called the ABC Shield which has 2 Gilgandra teams, Biddon-Tooraweenah, Warren, Coonamble and Gular teams playing in it. Gilgandra representative cricket takes part in the Brewery Shield competition,Country Plate knockout and the A.S Gordon Shield which they are currently preimers of,from the 2008-09 season. Gilgandra also has its very own Junior Cricket Assosciation, with representative teams in the 12’s, 14’s and 16’s competing in intertown competitions regularly. Gilgandra won the Dick Penberthy Shield under 16’s competition in 2001-02 season and have been in the semi final every year after. Cricket remains a strong part of sport in Gilgandra and remains to be the number sport played in the town.

Radio Station

Gilgandra has one radio station; 98.9 War FM. This is a volunteer run radio station with various different shows running. These include old music, modern music and sport segments. The news is also played every hour.

Notable people

International Union Against Cancer

Jump to: navigation, search

The International Union Against Cancer or UICC (French: Union Internationale Contre le Cancer) is the only non-governmental organization dedicated exclusively to the global control of cancer. Its vision is of a world where cancer is eliminated as a major life-threatening disease for future generations. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, the UICC unites more than 280 member organizations in over 90 countries in the global fight against cancer.

Contents 1 Mission 2 History 3 World Cancer Congress 4 Organizations 5 Knowledge Into Action 6 External links

Mission

The UICC mission is to build and lead the global cancer control community engaged in:

• Sharing and exchanging knowledge and competence
  -Transferring scientific findings to clinical, patient and public settings
• Systematically reducing and eliminating disparities in prevention, early detection and treatment
• Delivering the best possible care to people living with cancer throughout the world

Under the leadership of Isabel Mortara, executive director of UICC, the Secretariat focuses on four strategic directions:

• Cancer prevention and control
• Tobacco control
• Knowledge transfer
• Capacity building and supportive care

History

In 1933, cancer researchers recognized a need to share knowledge and expertise globally, and so founded UICC. Since then, UICC has grown into a respected forum for all professionals engaged in cancer prevention and control. Its objective is to advance scientific and medical knowledge in research diagnosis, therapy and prevention of cancer and to promote all aspects of campaigns to prevent cancer throughout the world. Those campaigns are My Child Matters and Today’s Children, Tomorrow’s World Particular emphasis is placed on professional and public education. Over the years, UICC has fostered the development of cancer institutions, the sharing and exchange of knowledge, the transfer of skills and technologies, and the education of professionals engaged in cancer control.

World Cancer Congress

The UICC sponsors a biannual World Cancer Congress that brings together the world’s leaders in the fight to control cancer. Leading clinicians, practitioners, government agencies and NGO’s, patient-care providers and advocates, researchers and behavioural scientists and public health experts focus on transforming the latest knowledge into strategies that countries, communities, institutions and individuals can employ to reduce the cancer burden. The World Cancer Congress has five tracks:

• Cancer research detection and treatment
• Public health, prevention and education
• Survivorship and supportive care
• Building capacity in cancer organizations
• Tobacco and cancer

The next World Cancer Congresses will be held in Shenzhen, China in 2010, and Montreal, Canada in 2012 .

Organizations

UICC brings together a wide range of organizations, including voluntary cancer leagues and societies, research and treatment centres, public health authorities, patient support networks, advocacy groups, and in some countries, ministries of health. UICC has consultative status with the United Nations (UN) Economic and Social Council. It works closely with the World Health Organization , the International Agency for Research on Cancer , and the Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) initiated by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Cancer networks, partnerships, coalitions, and alliances may join UICC in the category of common interest groups, offering cancer control professionals, volunteers and advocates the chance to become part of a vibrant international community - accessing and sharing information, discussing and debating key cancer control issues with their peers, contributing to shared activities, and helping shape UICC’s strategic directions as well as the programme of the UICC World Cancer Congress.

Knowledge Into Action

The World Health Assembly resolution on cancer prevention and control (WHA58.22), adopted in May 2005, calls on all countries to intensify action against cancer by developing and reinforcing cancer control programmes. This resolution has added momentum to the WHO’s longstanding work against cancer. WHO is working with partners like UICC to create a global plan of action against cancer. A series of six WHO modules provides practical advice for programme managers and policymakers on how to advocate, plan and implement effective cancer control programmes, particularly in low-and-middle-income countries. According to Dr Margaret Chan, WHO director general, “WHO cancer prevention, including control strategies and guidelines, helps governments in all countries of the world to improve their capacity to reduce national cancer burdens. Our partner organizations play a crucial role in accelerating the translation of WHO’s guidance into national practice in order to save the lives of millions.”
