Fixers and Everything Everything Play Competing Versions Rihanna's "What's My Name" on the BBC
Posted by Ray Padgett at 9:00 am	Add comments
Think you know popular music? Fine, quick Top 40 quiz for you. Rihanna had four number-one singles in 2010. What were they?
Did you get 'em? If you did, you win! Or, actually, maybe you lose. Whether you're proud of that knowledge depends on your perspective on the Top 40 I suppose. Anyway, the final #1, the Drake-featuring "What's My Name," dropped in October. Somewhat surprising it's taken this long for covers to pop up, but as if to make up for lost time, two just dropped in our laps. By what appears to be total coincidence, they come from back-to-back sessions at BBC's Radio 1.
British quintet Fixers keep the all-hands-on-deck sound, mixing in tribal drumming samples and funky piano. They tell host Jo Whiley that they were going to cover Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair," but Pulled Apart by Horses beat them to it. Ironic, then, that the band following them chose the same song they did. Difference is, Manchester art-rock quartet Everything Everything didn't pull a last-minute switch. Their warm-falsetto "What's My Name?" proves different enough to justify the repetition.
Listen to both below, and tell us which you prefer in the comments. Oh, and the quiz answer: "Rude Boy," Eminem collab "Love the Way You Lie," "Only Girl (In the World)," and, obviously, "What's My Name?"

Much prefer Everything Everything's version – great energy and unique voice – prefer it to the original actually!
Fixers is much better – really original, excellent musicianship & love the tribal drums. This is a band to look out for in the future.
Mancetti says:
Fixers all the way for me!!
jess hawthorn says:
I think everything everythings version is great and very enjoyable but not as original as fixers… love both bands but fixers win :)
Fixers nailed the song brilliantly and are clear winners.
Fixers are the UK's best kept secret right now; they have the genuine ability to come up with original new material. Expect everyone to be talking about them as the year comes to a close.

AMC, Netflix Reach Glass Onion Deal
Fri, 10/14/2022 - 08:16 -- Nick Dager
AMC Theatres has reached its first-ever agreement with Netflix to play a Netflix movie theatrically. From November 23-29, AMC moviegoers can enjoy Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery at more than 200 locations throughout the United States. It will also play at select Odeon Cinema Group's locations in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
The company said the agreement with Netflix to play Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery adds another major theatrical title to an already exciting slate of movies that will appeal to broad audiences during the Thanksgiving weekend.
AMC chairman and CEO Adam Aron said: "This announcement of our first-ever agreement with Netflix is significant for AMC and for movie lovers around the world. As we have often said, we believe that both theatrical exhibitors and streamers can continue to co-exist successfully. Beyond that, though, it has been our desire that we find a way to crack the code and synergistically work together.
"By doing so, theatres will make more money by having more titles to show, and thanks to the larger cultural resonance those movies can gain from a theatrical release, they will wind up playing to a wider audience when they also are viewed on streaming platforms. Accordingly, we also have long said that we would welcome Netflix movies in our theatres with the proper agreements in place.
"This agreement that we have reached with Netflix for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is acceptable to AMC as it sufficiently respects the sanctity of our current theatrical window policy. We are hopeful that a successful screening in our theatres this Thanksgiving will lead to more co-operation between Netflix and AMC in the months and years ahead.
"Rian Johnson's original Knives Out was a wonderful film that delighted audiences in the United States and around the world and was a real hit in our theatres. It's only fitting that its follow-up, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which also stars Daniel Craig, and which is already garnering high praise from critics, will be available at more than 200 of our AMC locations around the country this Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Given the global appeal of the first movie, we are also excited to announce that it will be available at many of our Odeon locations in Europe as well. We look forward to Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and we will endeavor to continue working with Netflix on future compelling titles that excite and engage theatrical audiences."

This month I was contacted by many constituents over the recent Trident test launch malfunction.
As you may have heard an unarmed missile fired from a Trident nuclear submarine had to self-destruct after it was mistakenly fired towards Florida.
I am extremely worried that the Prime Minister and the Defence Secretary both knew of this test failure before the vote in parliament to renew the system last year. Whilst I am sceptical it would have changed the outcome of the vote, parliament and the public have the right to know if the system they spend so much money on is faulty. This is not, as the government say, a matter of national security as they frequently press release successful missile tests.
Labour is not asking for the government to disclose any sensitive or inappropriate information, but the British people have a right to clarity and transparency -; they certainly deserve to hear answers from their prime minister, instead of from unnamed sources in the US military who have confirmed that this missile test did indeed end in failure.• Our Shadow Defence Secretary has written to the Defence Secretary to demand answers to important questions of public interest.
Following an Urgent Question from my Labour colleague Kevin Jones MP, the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon MP was dragged to Parliament to answer questions on the government cover up. You can watch the debate here: https://goo.gl/8ftCYl although I must warn you the minister does not even attempt to answer a single question and simply stonewalls parliament.
Dr Julian Lewis, Conservative MP, head of the Commons Defence Select Committee even suggested that Mr Fallon give evidence to his committee in private after a public session was ruled out by the government. Mr Fallon refused, following which Julian Lewis, a Conservative colleague of Mr Fallon said "It is unnecessary surreptitiousness about something that could have been dealt with in a perfectly straightforward way."
I am against Trident and voted against renewal last year. I made a promise to constituents in 2010 that I would oppose renewal and speak out against nuclear weapons from parliament. Parliament deserves to know what went wrong and what, if anything, is being done to rectify the problem and I will be pressuring the Government to this end.

Q: Comparing volumes of $d$-dimensional unit-balls to upper bound kissing-number. I want to analyze so called kissing-numbers in $d$-dimensional euclidean-spaces.
The kissing number $\kappa(d)$ of a dimension $d$ is defined as the greatest number of non-overlapping unit $d$-spheres that can be arranged in the space such that they each touch a common unit $d$-sphere.
Therefore consider a $d$-dimensional unit-ball in the euclidean space. It is obvious that it can only be touched by a finite number of other unit-balls. Also, since we use unit balls, all balls of a maximal kissing-configuration are contained in another ball of diameter $3$.

Can you show that the total number of balls in such a configuration, namely $\kappa(d)+1$ balls, can be upper bounded by $3^d$.
So my goal is to show: $\kappa(d)+1\leq 3^d$ where $d$ is the dimension.
For example could one show this by comparing volumes? If so, how?

A: This can indeed be done by comparing volumes. The volume $V_d(r)$ of a $d$-dimensional sphere of radius $r$ is
$$V_d(r)=C_dr^d,$$
for some positive constant $C_d$ independent of $r$. It follows that the number of pairwise disjoint unit $d$-spheres in a $d$-sphere of radius $3$ is at most
$$\frac{V_d(3)}{V_d(1)}=\frac{C_d3^d}{C_d1^d}=3^d,$$
and hence the kissing number $\kappa(d)$ in dimension $d$ satisfies $\kappa(d)+1\leq 3^d$, as desired.

If nothing else, the performance of Kenneth L. Waters, Jr. make this a must-see experience. Waters portrays Mitch, the "comfort counselor." Mitch is completing his community service hours by performing this job at the Bee. Waters was so convincing that I first wondered if he was just really this type of character in real life. The major brilliance of the performance by Waters is fully revealed when he also play the one of fathers to one of the characters. Waters transforms from knife-wielding thug to cake-baking nurturer. Waters even further shows his amazing technique and skill when he briefly plays a different character's father and just as seamlessly transforms into a third, completely different character. Waters demonstrated strong vocals and he has an especially rich and pleasing tone. Overall, one of the best performances that I have seen in local theater." - a review on 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with Tantallon Players from Showbiz Radio

UC Free Speech Center Application and a UCLA Test Case
The UC National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement explores how the fundamental democratic and academic principles of free speech and civic engagement should enrich the discovery and transmission of knowledge in America's colleges and universities. We are now accepting applications for our 2020-2021 Fellows Program.
Each year, the Center selects up to 10 fellows from a broad range of disciplines and backgrounds such as law, journalism, higher education, social science, technology and government.
Fellows receive funding to further the national conversation related to expression and democratic participation on college campuses including how to advance campus dialogue and further diversity and inclusion.
The Center welcomes candidates from all backgrounds to apply. As part of the University of California, the Center is committed to promoting diversity and equal opportunity in its education, services and administration, as well as research and creative activity.
The Center invites a wide range of projects. We are especially interested in projects that will have a direct impact on individuals and communities across and within campus constituencies. We are focused on projects that enhance our understanding of how free speech is and can be practiced in American higher education within the context of our current climate. For more information about the work of this year's fellows (pictured above), click here:

And here comes a test of free speech/academic freedom in the form of a federal investigation at UCLA:
The Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) announced on Jan. 3 that it is investigating a StandWithUs complaint that UCLA improperly handled allegations of anti-Semitism.
The StandWithUs complaint, which was filed in October on behalf of student Shayna Lavi, focuses on a May incident when San Francisco State University professor Rabab Abdulhadi was quoted by witnesses as saying during a guest lecture in an anthropology class that supporters of Israel are white supremacists. Lavi told Abdulhadi she was offended by the assertion, prompting Abdulhadi allegedly to respond, "That's your opinion but you're wrong. I stand with Jews who do not support Israel and I hope that Jews will disalign themselves with white supremacy."
The complaint states that Lavi brought the incident to UCLA's Discrimination Prevention Office (DPO), which caused the class' professor, Kyeyoung Park, to repeatedly mention during class that Lavi was victimizing her. Park also allegedly rebuffed Lavi's request to bring in a pro-Israel speaker to the class.
"In short, Dr. Park used her position of authority not only repeatedly to harass, embarrass and intimidate Ms. Lavi, but also to retaliate against her for exercising her right to seek relief from the hostile environment to which she was being subjected," the complaint states.
UCLA's Discrimination Prevention Office (DPO) concluded in August that Abdulhadi's comments and Park's subsequent actions did not amount to discrimination or harassment. The StandWithUs complaint argued otherwise, stating that UCLA is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, gender or national origin, for not taking sufficient action in the matter. They urged UCLA to undertake a series of measures to address anti-Semitism on campus, including adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism, issuing a statement acknowledging that Zionism is a key component to a Jewish student's identity and establishing a task force of students and administrators to deal with anti-Semitism.
OCR's Sarah Berman wrote in a letter to StandWithUs that was obtained by the Journal, "We have determined that your complaint is appropriate for investigation under the laws enforced by OCR and OCR is now opening your complaint for investigation. OCR is now beginning the complaint resolution process."
StandWithUS CEO and Co-Founder Roz Rothstein said in a statement, "Students should never be subjected to discrimination, harassment or retaliation by their professors after standing up for themselves, their identity, and their community. For Shayna, as for many Jews, Zionism is an integral part of her Jewish identity, and university administrators should be in the business of protecting students against conduct that marginalizes and demonizes them, not giving such hate a free pass."
Lavi told the Journal in a text message, "I appreciate that OCR has taken my complaint seriously and is looking into it."
UCLA Associate Director of Media Relations Ricardo Vazquez said in a statement to the Journal, "After viewing a recording of the class and interviewing participants, DPO, while not endorsing the guest speaker's ideas or the manner in which the class was handled, concluded that the comments made during the lecture were not the type of severe, pervasive and persistent unwelcome conduct that constitutes harassment or discrimination. Some background information that we can share publicly is available here."
https://equity.ucla.edu/public_accountability/transparent-progress/incident-in-anthro-lecture/
He added that "discussions of issues of deep personal concern may be profoundly uncomfortable, but as a university our goal is to help students critically analyze even unpleasant ideas and engage across lines of difference with respect."

Comment from yours truly: If you go to the link provided by UCLA, there is a further link to a video of the talk of the guest speaker. UCLA's comment refers to you to minute 54 of the video in which students are asking questions. What is odd is that the instructor of the class seems not to be involved and plays no part in the interchange. Someone other than the instructor gives a brief introduction to the speaker at the start of the video. It is unclear if the instructor is present in the room during or after the introduction since the camera focuses only on the speaker. But in any case, no instructor participation or intervention occurs and the interchange between the speaker and the students becomes volatile. (The allegation that the instructor subsequently complained in class that a student brought an official complaint and that the student was harassed by the instructor thereafter is not addressed in the video since it includes only the guest lecture itself.)

Moving to Amazon Internet Services (AWS) gave iFit the chance to optimize its structure for the cloud. Initially, iFit ran its Java enterprise web application on five on-premises servers, each of which carried out the same tasks. For the cloud, iFit designed seven totally different server lessons for specific jobs. Operating on AWS, we will launch as many cases as we want for various functions," explains Brammer. We have separate servers for dwell requests, for processing exercise logs, and for our buyer-facing web site. The primary buyer-facing server isn't slowed down by processing exercise logs, which improves the client experience." Determine 1 illustrates how iFit uses AWS.

We know that most of you will have a preference already – and if that's the case, we won't be able to change your minds anytime soon. But what about those of us who are taking our first steps into the world of wheeled transport and want something different from the usual BMX or mountain bike? Well, we've got three options for you which will soon have you on your way with a new-found sense of freedom. Prepare to feel enlightened as we provide you with some inspiration.
Starting with the new kid on the block which has made a comeback, how about one of the many scooters we carry? The beauty is in their versatility and flexibility which make them a great companion on trips to school or when riding with mates. You will find that the skill level required to excel on a scooter is lower than both skateboards and inline skates, making them a great introduction into personal travel for beginners. Riding a scooter also requires the least amount of effort as the handle bars assist you with balancing and provide a stable surface to hold on to.
There is a scooter available for everyone – whether big or small, young or old.
Our micro scooter range remains the most popular but we carry all the well-known brands of stunt scooter. We suggest that you head over to our product pages so you can see some of the styles we've referenced in action.
The skateboard remains the transport of choice for those wishing to enter the world of extreme sports. We've all played Tony Hawks Pro Skater and wished we could pull of the moves possible in game; well this is your chance. Skateboards are a personal choice with some preferring longboards for more stability at speed and some sticking with the tried and tested skateboard, perfect for ripping up half pipes. Skateboards are a little harder to ride than scooters but we find that most people pick it up pretty quickly.
The original way of tearing around town and honing your stunt skills.
A range of boards for everyone, from beginners to pros. You have got to take a look at our skateboard pages where we showcase the range of boards we have in stock. We also carry the parts that allow you to build or customise your own.
Last but not least are inline skates, a variation of traditional rollerblades. They take their origin as a tool to assist professional ice skaters in training but they've become a fan favourite in their own right with a huge following. The stunt scene is as developed in inline skating as it is for skateboarding so if you're looking for an alternative, look no further.
A style for everyone – from freestyle to aggressive, and children to adults.
We carry all the popular brands so you're sure to find something suitable on our inline skate pages.
Pick Your Transport of Choice By now, you should have figured out where your tastes lie. The team here at Slick Willies knows all things scooters, skates and boards so make use of our knowledge by coming to visit us here at our London store at 12 Gloucester Road, SW7 4RB or by calling us on 020 7225 0004 and we'll get you kitted out with some new wheels.

Q: Identifying the basic information of Windows installation .iso images I've 6 different Windows 8.1 64-bit / 32-bit installation .iso images. All of the 6 images are untouched and officially released by Microsoft. How could I identify the basic information of each .iso image?
The basic information that I need to know how identify: (Type of image: is RTM, RTL, VL, or OEM), (Release Date), (Image Version), (Update / Rollup Updates included), and (Servicepack version).
I've searched for how to do that, but unfortunately none of the methods I found worked for all the information I needed.

A: Run Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"E:\sources\install.wim" to see which SKUs are included in the WIM. Now open the idwbinfo.txt on the DVD/ISO under sources, here you see if it is 32 or 64Bit and if it is a debug (checked) or the normal (retail) version.

The Orphan Basin: A review of basin evolution, structure, stratigraphy and petroleum systems
Peace, A L; Bingham-Koslowski, N ; McCartney, T; Welford, J K

GSC Central Canada
The Orphan Basin, located offshore northeastern Newfoundland, Eastern Canada, is a Mesozoic rift basin formed during the disintegration of Pangaea and the concurrent opening of the North Atlantic Ocean. The majority of previous work has divided the basin into the East (EOB) and West Orphan (WOB) subbasins, separated by the Central Orphan High (COH). These subbasins share some similarities but have different opening kinematics, timings, and sedimentary histories. Despite its critical location at the termination of the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone (CGFZ), and the transition from the main North Atlantic Ocean to the Labrador Sea, the Orphan Basin remains relatively poorly understood compared to other marginal rift basins in the North Atlantic region. Additionally, much of the public domain geoscientific literature on the basin has not undergone peer review (e. g., conference abstracts, industry reports, etc.). As such, the aim of this review is to critically scrutinize and synthesize the wealth of geoscientific information on the basin, present an overview of the complex structure of the basin and its sedimentary fill, identify knowledge gaps, and provide insights for future research directions. This review highlights that significantly more is known about the EOB than the WOB, largely due to data availability. Furthermore, structural inheritance appears to have strongly influenced the evolution and geometry of rift-related faults. Areas requiring further research include refining the timing and relationship between the opening kinematics of the EOB and WOB, particularly pertaining to the role of the Flemish Cap. Additionally, the continuation of sedimentary facies from the better constrained EOB into the WOB is currently poorly understood, especially for the syn-rift strata, which results in substantial exploration risk in the WOB. Understanding the WOB, including the magmatic rocks, is essential for understanding the wider southern North Atlantic region.
This manuscript presents an overview of the Orphan Basin, a geologically complex, yet poorly understood basin located offshore Newfoundland. The Orphan Basin remains in large part enigmatic primarily due to the limited well and data coverage throughout the region. Furthermore, a significant amount of the available literature on the basin has been published in non-peer reviewed journals including conference abstracts and industry reports, making it difficult to assess the integrity of the data. As such, our manuscript critically reviews and synthesizes the wealth of geoscientific information on the Orphan Basin, resulting in an overview of the current state of knowledge on this basin. In this manuscript we present summaries on 1) the crustal and lithospheric structure; 2) the stratigraphy; 3) the structure and evolution; 4) the magmatism, and; 5) the petroleum geology and exploration history of the basin. We also highlight substantial knowledge gaps in each of these sub-areas and suggest future research directions for the Orphan Basin. This review highlights that significantly more is known about the East Orphan Basin compared to the West Orphan Basin, primarily due to data availability. Our manuscript should provide a comprehensive, useful reference document for anyone working in the region, or offshore Atlantic Canada in general.

If you're looking for highly aerodynamic and hydrophobic racewear specially designed for long distances That comes into it's own in the heat. Your best bet for long distance racing for speed and comfort.
DRAG REDUCTION FABRIC AeroSkin fabric on the front panel and sleeves of the suit reduce drag in the water and improves aerodynamics on the bike.
ULTIMATE STRETCH Fully bonded seams make the silhouette of this suit smoother, making it even more aerodynamic on the bike. This stitchless construction also promotes greater stretch for increased comfort.


Not a massive score by any means. Just an average 2159 for the TEAM last week but it still managed to get us seven League wins. Most importantly is that little section on the bottom right……….we still have ALL 30 TRADES at our disposal……..
I've been going over the TEAM for the last 24 hours and have come to the same conclusion………I don't know where to start with trading right now. Unlike many Coaches out there, I actually think Sydney Stack is safe for a few weeks in the Tigers line-up (Grigg & Short 'indefinite') and is worth bringing in……..but for whom? And to upgrade what?
I'll throw it open to you, Coaches. If you want to make a trade suggestion, leave it in the comments below. If there is sufficient support from the Coaching Staff (thumbs up), then it will be put to a poll before Thursday.
So what do you recommend, Coaches? What would you do if this was your team?
C/VC Options for the TEAM?
The selection table has thrown out a surprise or two…….the main one being Reilly O'Brien from Adelaide. Not only does he have some good cash generation to be made, he suddenly has good job security with news of Sam Jacobs going under the knife. So I put the question to you, the Coaching Staff………should we use our first trade of the year on O'Brien or even Sydney Stack? VOTE NOW……….
Should the TEAM trade in Reilly O'Brien at R3?
Should the TEAM trade in Sydney Stack (RIC) for $102 400?
And the usual positional questions…….
With two weeks for setterfield…he's the obvious one, but we need to wait for selections. Shame we have no mid with a dpp.
I think Stack's a good pick. Like his JS and he looks good. He has both games, despite poor score this week.
Personally think Butters is the worst we have and with PTA's difficult fixture, has served his time.
If you read what I wrote in my pre-season planning guide, it pays to offload your worst-performing rookies (starting at the bottom) for any COW who looks like he'll make you $150k+. To me Stack does. And possibly a fair bit more over coming weeks. Remember that over time, the scarcer the downgrades become and the worse they generally are. Just make sure you keep the good ones for a while (eg Walsh, Constable …) and it will all even itself out nicely. There's also no rule that you must UG when you DG. Keep the cash for a week and buy a Yeo/Simmo/Laird type when they bottoms out!! There'll be plenty of cheap ones to choose from.
I like Ross next week too!
If we hear Sauce is out for at least two more, then I also think ROB (lets call him that, it's easier) is worth taking for Setters, via Bines.
AS…I love reading your always excellent comments. There are so few downgrade options, planning is difficult. I dont know about the Bines thing. As I have said elsewhere, he is the best c loop over the year…15 of the last 18 rds after this week, and Setterfield can do the role this week…that gives us another week to look at the options and cow fattening. If sauce was def 3-4 weeks, that would make the option easier. I dont mind double trades, but generally, only if an uber results.
On the other hand, with 30 trades, we can burn one…so maybe a scott or gibbons to stack is the go. Shame no f/m in the mids…would make life easier. The other option is balta out, burgess forward and bring in rotham. Butters next to go.
Obviously I have reconsidered since my first posting !!
Good argument to be made that both Parker and Gibbons are ready to move on. Parker has already made 93k and may have plateaued. Gibbons has (some) more money to make but it will take a long time and makes him a prime candidate for expulsion through the allsaints theory.
He's had one good game, is awkwardly priced and injury prone is an understatement. Can't see how you could get him in without affecting structure and taking a monumental risk as well.
Don't forget to Hore in and Clark out. (bench).
In hindsight, this is why IMO you should always have a DPP on the emergency bench in the midfield.
As we are seeing now, a ruck loop hole does not quite have the same flexibility, or am i being biest coz i'm only 165cm tall.
I personall think you hold setterfield as a loophole. He may use his time off to reflect and come back and put up an 80.
Yes… He can be both a c loop this week, and maybe an e loop.
The OG I will be holding him for that exact reason especially as his BE is reasonable and his JS should be just as solid when his suspension ends e.g. come straight back in.
Big problems with the forward line with possibly 4 players missing.
Drew, Parker, Setterfield and Balta. Think most sides will have problems in the forward line this week. Some big price drops coming in the next few weeks, however, needs to be corrected this week.
Should free up sufficient cash to allow M Parker to J Westhoff in the next fortnight.
Who wants J Westhoff in the team though???
Since 2012 he has only missed 1 game playing 156 of 157 highlighting his durability.
Historically averages high 80's to low 90's and will be available at around 400,000 or less which is a 150,000+ discount on his starting price.
Marshall's inclusion for PTA should be beneficial for the Hoff which should push him up the ground to play his usual role.
Gets rid of a poor cash generating rookie which the team has plenty of and a poor rookie score on field.
If not the Hoff then T McDonald could be alternative who is currently priced at 402,900 with a breakeven of 130 and has averaged 89+ for 3 of the past 4 seasons.
Who do you prefer around the same price range and what are your thoughts on T McDonald?
Westhoff is currently taking the Full Forward minutes of Dixon. I do not recommend until his role has changed back to a wing/link-up player.
Lobb has stated he wants to play Forward… as soon as someone for Freo is available, I reckon he moves out of the Ruck and his points diminish.
Roughhead (COL) has F/R swing, is in their best 22, scoring reasonable (80+), if the TEAM wants to take on a Ruck Cover player.
Saw this elsewhere…..makes huge sense.
2. Setterfield to mids and put c on him for anyone presently onfield.
Gives us c loop for next two weeks via setterfield, and bines for rest of year.
Constable is OUT this monday..
Lets get that E on scott today please schwarzwalder!
If he flops we can play gibbons or atkins then.

TORONTO, April 12, 2016 /CNW/ - Morneau Shepell Inc. (TSX: MSI), the leading provider of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) in North America and one of the world's largest, and 1to1Help.net, the leading EAP provider in India, today announced that they have signed a long-term strategic alliance. The two companies have combined forces to provide EAP services to employees of multinational companies, wherever in the world they are situated.
"India has emerged as a major centre of employment for multinational corporations, both those headquartered elsewhere, as well as those based in India that are expanding their operations globally," said Richard Albert, Vice President, Global Business Development, Morneau Shepell. "Over half of Fortune 500 companies have employees in India, which has become a world leader in business process outsourcing, technology and manufacturing operations. We are thrilled to be partnering with 1to1Help.net, who have been at the forefront of EAP services in India. Through working with our alliance, multinational clients can provide the same level of support to their employees in India as they do elsewhere in the world, enhancing their global value proposition as an employer of choice."
EAP services are a relatively new employee benefit in India. These programs help employees deal with personal problems that may be negatively affecting their health and well-being, as well as their job performance. Employees, and in some cases their immediate family members, may receive short-term counselling or referrals for help in dealing with their issues. Given the high incidence of depression in India and the high youth suicide rate, EAP services may be especially important for employees working in this country.
"Morneau Shepell and 1to1Help.net will share best practices and partner closely on service delivery and global account management," said Anil Bisht, Director, 1to1Help.net. "While our approach will be tailored to meet cultural needs in various countries, our level of support will be consistently high and focused on helping employees regain and maintain good health. This alliance enables our companies to provide world-class EAP services to the rapidly growing array of emerging Indian-headquartered global companies, as well as to foreign domiciled multinational organizations with significant employee populations in India."
One of the world's leading EAP providers, Morneau Shepell has also been a global pioneer in the EAP industry for more than two decades. The company currently provides expatriate and localized EAP support in more than 200 languages and in 170 countries around to the world to corporate, small business and public sector clients.
Morneau Shepell is the only human resources consulting and technology company that takes an integrative approach to employee assistance, health, benefits and retirement needs. The Company is the leading provider of employee and family assistance programs, as well as the largest administrator of retirement and benefits plans and the largest provider of integrated absence management solutions in Canada.
Through health and productivity, administrative, and retirement solutions, Morneau Shepell helps clients reduce costs, increase employee productivity and improve their competitive position. Established in 1966, Morneau Shepell serves approximately 20,000 clients, ranging from small businesses to some of the largest corporations and associations in North America. With almost 4,000 employees in offices across North America, Morneau Shepell provides services to organizations across Canada, in the United States, and around the globe. Morneau Shepell is a publicly-traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: MSI). For more information, visit morneaushepell.com.
1to1help is India's largest provider of Employee Assistance Program (EAP). 1to1help services help employees to address their stress areas & facilitate better productivity at the work place.

A few faces I did last night. The ones up above start with a base of some colour or another. Then I go at it with that colour as a theme. The guy below was painted with a dry brush that was pretty saturated with paint, if that makes sense.
Most of these are done with cheap Chinese brushes. Then I have some extra big ones, and also extra small ones which are more expensive, for those nice points.
Actualy, I'm so into the watercolour, I don't know if the technical chatter helps anyone who doesn't work with these things, and probably already knows. Technique is often a private thing, developed by an artist after years of fooling around.
Still, if another artist I admire is talking about it, I'm usually grateful to read it. How does Jim Woodring get those perfect washes? Lots of paint, just the right amount of water, and plenty of practice, talent, and skill.
I'm at a level where I can usually make a nice wash (but often there are horrible mistakes – when you're trying to do that, any hair or dust speck or backwash is a disaster). Still, when I succeed, it's usually too boring and perfect-looking, and I mess it up on purpose. Sounds like an excuse for sloppy work, but it's not. Really.
Now here's another of the drawings that Gagnon did with Marr [sorry, this one is actually by Sirkowski, inking over a drawing of Marr's – J], the other week, actually, which I snapped with the camera, and then forgot to post. That seems to happen regularly with the volume of sketches those guys produce together, so the Saturday posts pick up a sort of echo a day or two after.
I was in a bad mood, Friday, and cheesed off at Gagnon and Marr beavering away, shushing me when they were busy, and then praising work of their own I thought had problems. And, it seemed to me, ignoring me and shutting me out. Of course, they'll tell me that's only my perception, and that I was being prickly, critical, and not good company. I'm not that good in larger groups, but I've actually found rather than fussing about it, if I don't worry about it and be cool, the problems go away.
Art, though, can be full of "creative differences," which is why partnerships have rocky patches. Working through those is another aspect of collaboration. Hope those guys don't mind me writing about it here, because they're sterling and talented fellows. We've all got our oddnesses, and prickly bits, which out of an excess of politeness we don't talk about until it's too late. Those are interesting to work through, as well, if you're going to do worthwhile art.

Barack and Michelle Obama: The Love Story
July 25, 2015 Anne Nduku	Leave a comment
Now that US president Barack Obama is in Kenya, there is an instant air of pride and utter excitement in Kenya's countrymen and women. Since we are all about the -weak in the knees- kind of love stories, weddings and everything blissful, we will certainly not bore you with political talk. I bet many of you would like to know the love story between the leader of the free world and his stunning wife; Michelle Obama.
The couple first met when 25 year old Michelle Robinson was working at a law firm as an adviser to 27 year old Barack Obama, who was at the time a summer associate from Harvard Law. Her first impression of him was not so pleasant, but after spending a lot of time together, an interest brewed for Obama, who even after his advances were rebuffed several times, his persistence scored him a first date with Michelle. "I asked her out. She refused. I kept asking. She kept refusing."I'm your adviser," she said. "It's not appropriate." Finally, I offered to quit my job, and at last she relented." President Barack Obama is quoted as saying in an O magazine interview.
They visited the Art Institute of Chicago, had lunch at the museums courtyard, took a long walk down Michigan Avenue to a movie theater where they watched a drama flick; Do the Right Thing and later went for some ice cream.
"On our first date, I treated her to the finest ice cream Baskin-Robbins had to offer, our dinner table doubling as the curb," Barack Obama said in a 2007 O Magazine feature. "I kissed her, and it tasted like chocolate."After their date, it was clear that they were seemingly head over heels for each other. "We clicked right away…by the end of the date, it was over…I was sold," Michelle has been quoted saying. To commemorate their special moment, a plaque lies at the very same spot they shared their first kiss.
Michelle and Barack tied the knot on October 3, 1992. "Barack didn't pledge riches, only a life that would be interesting. On that promise he delivered." Michelle has said. President Barack Obama's beautiful wife walked down the aisle in a stunning off shoulder, sweetheart neckline satin gown paired with a princess length veil and opera gloves.
"Sometimes, when we're lying together, I look at her and I feel dizzy with the realization that here is another distinct person from me, who has memories, origins, thoughts, feelings that are different from my own. That tension between familiarity and mystery meshes something strong between us. Even if one builds a life together based on trust, attentiveness and mutual support, I think that it's important that a partner continues to surprise." President Barack Obama on his love for Michelle (Ian Kerner, Ph.D. "5 Love Lessons We Can Learn From the Obamas)

so, I moved to Sioux City and attended East middle school, back when it was on the ave. Graduated East and spent some time WITCC for engineering! Absolutely love what I do, I have been blessed to make my hobby, my job.. I enjoy challenges, which is why you will find me in the gym through out the week when i am not at work! Also, look for me on the banks of the Missouri rive fishing Spring thru Fall (not much into fishing frozen)! I am one of those individuals who is up to trying most anything once! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or just to chat at my social media links (below)!


I continue to rack up the miles in the poor old Prius driving the roads through the park.
The sun rises very early here on the eastern edge of the Mountain Time Zone, so I am out the door by 6AM and head west through the park with the sun at my back.
The colors are constantly changing depending on time of day and weather.
Sam is still active enough to want to accompany me out to spots to take photos, but is left in the dust by her new companion Pearl.
Stormy skies to the west change the feel of the landscape. Daytime temperatures have been in the high 80's but the evenings cool down fast for comfortable sleeping.
… and again as I return back to camp in the afternoon.
There are numerous Prairie Dog communities throughout the park and the surrounding cattle grazing land.
Some of these communities must contain hundreds if not thousands of individuals.
If you scan these Prairie Dog "Towns" carefully with some binoculars, often you can spot a Burrowing Owl or two.
Shaky images taken at a very long distance.
I have encountered a few Bison bulls, but have not seen any cows and calves.
I had hoped to do some boon docking at the site just south of the town of Wall when I leave here Friday, but the weather is calling for some nasty weather ( possibility of large hail with violent thunderstorms ) and the road accessing those sites can get too sloppy for my rig after heavy rains, so I will continue to head west to Yellowstone and hope I can find a place to stay.
Probably not necessary to put a name to this location as most people are likely to know where these shots were taken. I arrived here last night and settled in at the Badlands Interior Motel and Campground. I hated to stay in a commercial campground when the Badlands has one of the best boon docking areas that exist, but I had to order new Tow Dolly Basket Straps ( used to tie down the Prius' front tires to the tow dolly ) or risk dropping the car somewhere along the highway. And I had to have an address to have them shipped to and this was what I came up with. They should be here Thursday and then perhaps I will move on to the boon docking area.
I was here many years ago and really don't remember much about the park, so this is sort of a new experience for me.
First thing this morning I drove west on the park loop road and was blessed with some sun and blue skies to the west after two days of rain.
Pretty spectacular colors along the drive, made more so by the presence of green, lush grass, thanks to the unusual amount of rain this area has gotten this spring.
I found some Bighorn Sheep not far from the road, some of then kind enough to settle in amongst some flowers.
At the end of the loop road, I drove the nine miles in to check out the changes at Wall Drug. What I remembered as an all but stand alone tourist trap years ago, is now surrounded by commercial development.
Because of the recent rains, some of the drives in the park are gated closed, most likely impassably muddy. Hope they dry out quick! More on the Badlands coming … I hope.
Saturday's forecast had called for clear skies and beautiful weather, so I was a little surprised to see clouds obscuring some of the stars as I packed my gear in the Prius and left the campsite for Trail Ridge around 5 AM.
As I started the climb up Ridge Road, I stopped for a couple sunrise shots, made more impressive by the threatening skies moving in.
There was a weird red/magenta glow in the sky as dark clouds began to dominate the skies the higher up the road I climbed.
As I neared the top, I stopped and hopped out of the car as a fairly bright rainbow suddenly appeared out of the gloom. I was so close to the rainbow, I couldn't get the entire thing in a photo even with a 20mm wide angle lens, felt like I could just about reach out and touch it at times.
The rainbow increased in intensity as the wind began whipping rain sideways, and, unfortunately, right in my face as I attempted more shots, covering the lens, and me, in rain and forcing me to retreat to the car.
I raced farther up the road hoping in vain to escape the windblown rain so I could get more shots of one of the most intense rainbows I have ever seen, but as I drove on, the rainbow faded and eventually all but the tail end disappeared before I could get out of the driving rain.
By 8 AM, the rains stopped, the clouds slowly lifted and the good weather promised for today started moving in.
On my way back down the mountain, I spotted four Bighorn Rams grazing on the slope above me, but unfortunately, there was no nearby pullout and the Saturday morning stream of traffic coming up the mountain made it impossible for me to get any decent shots.
Since these guys were the only Bighorn Sheep I had encountered in my two weeks here, I was more than a little disappointed, to say the least.
By the time I returned to the valley floor, the wonderful weather predicted for today had fully arrived. And with it my first opportunity to shoot some nice bull elk basking in the early morning sun.
This actually was my first opportunity to shoot elk with some wonderful golden hour light, all my previous encounters have been in the dim light of dawn or duck, or in complete shade.
These two younger bulls would alternate grazing and semi serious sparring sessions.
One of them finally tired of the game and headed across the meadow at a full gallop.
Later in the afternoon, I took a short trip back down Route 7 to get some shots of The Chapel on the Rock. I liked the dark clouds setting off the sculpture on the hill above the chapel. When I was here several years ago, I remember this building being surrounded by water, actually appearing to be built on an island, so something has changed here in the last few years.
Love the feeder hangers at the general store in the ghost town of St. Elmo, if I weren't homeless, I'd have to find some of these to hang around my house.
Other than the general store, there really isn't all that much to see in St. Elmo, though I did get a kick out of the assortment of rodents being fed in the fallen down remnants of a building across the street from the general store.
Two kinds of ground squirrel, least chipmunks, pine siskins, and juncos, all gorging on sunflower seeds.
On the road up to St. Elmo, I passed these white rock mountains, quite stunning set against the Colorado blue sky.
Rather than drive the main highway from my campsite at Lakeview, I found a "shortcut" that went up and over the hills and then paralleled the highway as it made it's way to Leadville. I drove this road several times after seeing pronghorns in the distance one morning.
Finally, one afternoon I ran into the herd moving at a fast clip along the ridge between the dirt road and the highway.
The lone male takes up a guard position in the rear and drives his harem toward a new grazing area.
So fortunate to catch them as they stopped atop this ridge gazing back at me, before disappearing down the hill.
On my last early morning trip up to Independence Pass, I came across a small band of bighorn ewes with a solitary lamb, kind enough to pose for a couple shots before slowly grazing up the side of the mountain.
I broke camp at Lakeview and drove 6 miles south to spend one night at the Clear Creek Reservoir dispensed camping area before heading north to Estes Park for a couple weeks of exploring the Rocky Mountain National Park.
Being more than a little concerned about the motorhome's ability to climb the 8 mile grade on I-70 up to the Eisenhower Tunnel, I managed to find a shop in Buena Vista that could take me in to have the ignition wires and spark plugs replaced. For the last month or so, I could feel the engine sputtering a bit under heavy load and realized that I definitely was experiencing a loss of power. Anyone familiar with the Workhorse Vortex 8.1L engine would recognize the probable cause of this power loss … this is the fourth set of wires and plugs I have had done in 65,000 miles. A couple years ago, I finally had the Workhorse recommended fix for this installed, a pair of 3 inch fresh air lines that direct cool air up and back to the rear of the engine. I had hoped that would cure the problem, but obviously it did not, though it possibly did extend the time interval between having to replace ignition wires and spark plugs.


Ally Scraps: No time to scrapbook during the Holidays??
No time to scrapbook during the Holidays??
Me either! I've been having a hard time managing my gift shopping, present wrapping, house decorating, cookie baking... while still trying to fit in some scrapbook time. Want to know my "make time for scrapbooking" solutions? Well, here they are!
Jana Eubank is always a huge inspiration to me. Love her designs! So, when I saw this layout, I knew it would be one that I would scraplift. Check out Jana's blog, she has lots of awesome layouts to be inspired by... or to scraplift completely. An guess what, I know that she wouldn't mind!
#2 - Use a sketch.
When I used Jana's layout for inspiration, what I didn't know what that Jana's layout was based on a sketch by Tara Thynne. Tara has a blog site all of her own, you can check out lots of sketches, right here at Capture These Sketches! We also have a gallery of sketches right on our own blog, by former design team member Debbie Gaydos, we love Debbie's sketches.
I think my layout took 2 full weeks to complete. I know that seems like forever, but in the midst of holiday business, I feel great that it got finished. One day I did the paper layout, the next day, the title, added the picture on a different day, and the embellies and title another. Buttons like Jana's were my next addition, and then all of a sudden I was done!
Always makes it easier to fit in scrapbook time, when I'm scrapping a picture or story that I love.
I've wanted to use these school papers from October Afternoon since the minute they came to my door from AllyScraps. Makes it fun to get a page going!
Want to see what I came up with? Here it is, 3rd grade school photo.
Thanks so much to Jana and Tara for their inspiration. Hope you (and I) will be able to find some time to scrapbook this week! Oh, and want to check out some brand new scrappy supplies?? Cathy has just added some to the store.
Look forward to Saturday's preview of the new Hero Arts catalog. I may actually make it to one of the events!!
I have Christmas money I'd love to spend!!
Merry,Merry Christmas to YOU from AllyScraps!
Linda Albrecht has done it again!


Recently, representing Zhenjiang Bolian Electronic Technology Co. Ltd, Dr.Hao Peng from School of Electronic and Information Engineering, JUST, became the only eligible participant in China to the Tel Aviv Entrepreneurship Competition which lasted five days and included a fully-packaged tour arranged by the Israeli investors and entrepreneurs. The expenses of this tour were totally covered by the Israeli government and the personnel joining Dr. Hao included officials from the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Science and Technology and correspondents form Jiangsu Satellite TV.
Tel Aviv Entrepreneurship Competition (Start Tel Aviv) is a global competition held by the Israeli government, in which only one setup is selected from each country for a one-week pioneering technology summit. The 2013 Chinese selection was the first of this initiative and only one candidate was chosen.
After several strict evaluations and a joint interview by the Israel Consulate, Shanghai, and Jiangsu Provincial Science and Technology Department, Dr. Hao Peng won the competition in China. During the competition between October 13 and October 17, Dr. Hao visited Mr. Hasson, chief Israeli scientist and talked with him exclusively. Dr. Hao sincerely invited Mr. Hasson to pay a visit to JUST at his convenience. In addition, Dr. Hao visited University of Tel Aviv.
It was reported that the theme of the competition this year was Internet, Technology and Security. Set-ups from 11 countries including Germany and Britain have achieved great success in their own countries. Other examples include Pat Phelan from Ireland, which mainly engages in e-commerce; Simon Lee from Korea, which develops Apps with the function of real-time translator; Pablo M.F. Perez develops APP which can help the deaf-mute to read lips and communicate with normal people. Eldar Loginous from Latvia devotes itself to developing new types of e-books as well as their publications; Mathias Karlsson from Sweden engages in developing network security and so on. Most founders of the set-ups are younger than 30 years old. Take Maximilian Modi from Germany and Juan D.R. Luna from Columbia and some other founders for example, they are only 24 years old. They are energetic and passionate.
These activities coincided with the opening of Digital-Life-Design (DLD) Technology Summit. It not only gathered famous local high-tech companies and enterprises, but also attracted a few institutes from the USA, Europe and Singapore, including venture capital firms, consulting firms and so on.


Gast Rotary Vane Septic Air Pumps are the work horse of all of our air pumps. These motors are very durable, and work great in situations where high back pressures are going to be present. These aerator pumps even work great in pond aeration applications. The Gast Rotary Vane compressors require little maintenance and repair parts are readily available.
The Gast Rotary Vane units offer oil-less operation to ensure the discharge air remains free of contamination from lubricants. The Gast compressors offer high flow, pulse free air which makes them ideal for applications requiring consistent air pressure and flow.
HOW DOES A GAST ROTARY VANE PUMP WORK?
Pumping action is produced by a series of sliding, flat vanes as they rotate in a cylindrical housing.An eccentrically mounted rotor turns and the individual vanes slide in and out of their slots by centrifugal and pressure-loading forces. This creates a series of air compartments of unequal volume against the wall of the housing. These compartments get larger during the suction part of the cycle, creating vacuum at the intake port and smaller during the discharge portion of the cycle, creating pressure at the exhaust port. The vacuum and pressure flows are free of pulsation because the inlet and exhaust ports do not have valves, and the air is moved continuously rather than intermittently.
WHY USE A GAST ROTARY VANE AIR PUMP?
Gast Rotary Vane vacuum pumps and compressors have certain significant advantages. In addition to providing smooth, pulse-free air flow without receiver tanks, they are compact (or equivalently offer high flow capacities for a given size), are simple and economical to install and operate, have low starting and running torque requirements, produce minimal noise or vibrations, are capable of long, service-free life, and are easily serviced.
If these features are what you need in your pneumatic application, a Gast Rotary Vane model can provide you the right solution.

The Slaps EP Release at Beat Kitchen
Featured, Review
By Susanna Kemp
With lamps adorning the stage and an abundance of dancing, The Slaps' Friday night EP release of B at Beat Kitchen felt like an intimate house show. The three band members go to DePaul, and The Slaps have gained widespread popularity in Chicago among the city's college crowd. B comes after A, the band's first EP released at the beginning of this month, and their 2017 debut LP Susan's Room.
The show opened with a comedy set by Haters Club, whose indie music critiques were met with few laughs. It was a relief when the two-woman, soft indie band Modern Nun took the stage, followed by Girl K. I spotted Girl K's singer and guitarist Kathy Patino before the show started. She was hard to miss in green, heeled jelly shoes and a black jumpsuit over a pink-striped collared shirt — a sophisticated look with child-like touches. Patino's choice of dress, the flower decals on her orange guitar, and her permission to fans before louder songs to go a little wild but stay safe were all indicative of the preschool teacher job that she mentioned.
She's a pretty cool preschool teacher though, and a powerhouse when she opens her mouth to sing. Her mostly upbeat indie rock is invigorating and balanced out by quieter songs like "So Strange," which Patino agreed to play after first claiming it was too sad when a few of her fans yelled for her to play it. She warned the audience that she hadn't played the song in a while and slipped up a couple times but was met with encouraging cheers. Girl K has a relatively small following, and I hope the tour they are about to depart on brings the band closer to the forefront of the indie music scene.
The Slaps' simpler clothing contrasted Patino's colorful outfit: guitarist and singer Rand Kelly wore an oversized T-shirt over gray sweatpants, Bell a T-shirt tucked into tan pants, and drummer Josh Resing a purple, tie dye shirt. The band's songs range from indie rock to their self-described "beach blues" music. Opening with "Cheers," The Slaps played songs from A before moving onto their newest music.
A highlight of the show was "Being Around," which Resing dropped his drumsticks to sing. His deeper, slightly raspy voice is comforting. The Slaps tend to steer clear of romantic songs — Rand saves these for his solo work — but "Being Around" voices an unwillingness to commit to a long-term relationship. It is filled with pleasing rhyming lines like "I'm a Jolly Roger, darling dodger bane," and clever lyrics that feature repetition like "I'm trying, trying my best to write the words into phrases, phrases from all the phases, all for you." Its self-deprecating nature evokes a melancholy and tenderness, but the song's guitar plucking makes it pleasant to listen to.
My favorite song from the show was B's "I Wanna," which has tropicalia undertones. Kelly's yearning came through throughout the song, especially on the repeated "I wanna be someone different," and the desire to be simultaneously mature and young was clear with lines like "I wanna act our age when there's nothing to do" and "I wanna wear my shoes on the top of my head."
The Slaps were clearly excited to play, alerting the audience near the end of their show, "This is the last song. Unless you say encore." They preceded to play four more songs after the "last" song, continuing even after a staff member who thought they were finished squeezed through the crowd to hand them beers. Few were opposed.

History Dissertation Topics
List of History Dissertation Topics for college and university students searching dissertation topics, samples and ideas in History subject. Go through below mentioned list of free History dissertation topic ideas that can help you in writing your history dissertation
Example History Dissertation Topic 1:
A consequence of municipal inaction: working-class housing conditions in the West Midlands 1840 – 1926.
Topic Description :It is suggested in this dissertation that local authorities of the West Midlands were the predominant factor in determining the affordability and quality of housing for working-class residents. The need for housing for the poorest inhabitants of West Midlands was subject to the political will and ability of these local authorities. This dissertation will begin by charting how local Government Acts through 1880 to 1890 were rife with self-improvement initiatives of municipal authorities at the expense of the residents. It will then follow the change of arenas- from local to national- and the results that followed this shift during the 1920s. An assessment of the significance of reports, such as those provided by the Garden City Movement and Tudor Walters, based on the quality of housing provided will conclude the dissertation.
How secure was English Protestantism in the early years of Elizabeth I's reign?
Topic Description :Levin (2002:22) is of the opinion that English Christians in 1558 endured the fourth religious upheaval in their lifetime because of the accession of Elizabeth. Doran (1994:7) on the other hand notes how Elizabeth openly expressed Protestantism earlier on during her reign. A renowned protestant, Dr. William Bell suffered ejection from Cambridge during Mary's reign and later got an invitation from Elizabeth to St Paul's Cross. This preferential treatment was in sharp contrast to the arrest of the Bishop of Chichester who was preaching at the same venue the following Sunday. These two authors form the genesis for this dissertation, which delves into the impact Elizabeth's reign had on Protestantism in the first fifteen years, as well as the question of how secure this new religion was in the context of an administration on the brink of extinction.
The changing roles and tastes within French formal gardening in the 17th and 18th centuries
Topic Description :Gardens serve the core purpose of giving aesthetic pleasure to spectators. This is according to the author of 'Traite du jardinageselon les raisons de la nature et d'art', Jacques Boyceau de La Barauderie. French gardens evolved during the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries from amusement during formal strolls into living architecture to be enjoyed outdoors. Gardens would be put to versatile use such as theatre with the most notable use being 'the little farm' that was established to mark changes in the political realm in Versailles. This dissertation tracks the change in expectations of the elite from France with respect to their gardens.
An analysis of the factors that best explain the growth and movement of population within the East Midlands region c.1801 and 1914
Topic Description :Increases in population from 1801 to 1911 were noted as
Derbyshire: 208,557 from 130,081
Nottinghamshire: 161,142 from 140,350
Lincolnshire: 563,960 from 476,553
Leicestershire: 683,423 from 604,098
It was noted that the rise in numbers after every census was at either par with national growth figures, or higher. It is however noted that the percentage rise in population every ten years between 1801 and 1911 was not consistent. The fact that population movement happened between cities in different counties, from these counties to other parts of the country and also from these counties to other countries overseas, the growth in population is most intriguing. The reasons behind these differences are addressed in this dissertation.
How important was migration to the development and growth of urban centres in the period 1700 – 1801?
Topic Description :The period between 1700 and 1800 marked a threefold increase in the total population of urban England from 5.5% to 16.5%, with the exception of London.
A large portion of the rural workforce was made available for non-agrarian work because of the 47% growth in agricultural productivity. This meant that not all born in the countryside would end up serving in agricultural tasks, unlike in the past. The opportunities presented by this development resulted in the rise of projections for increased industrial production. This increase did not result in the desertion of the villages of England for the urban centres because industrialization did not bring about an increase in urbanization in this period. The elemental trends that influenced the happenings of this period are analysed in this dissertation.
The politics of theatre attendance in 18th century Paris.
Topic Description :The revolution of 1789 in France caused the fall of the Ancienne regime. This paved way for the Chapelier Law of 1791 in which freedom of expression and speech was guaranteed to French theatre. This dissertation examines the role played by theatres before and after the revolution. It seeks to explain the reasons behind theatre attendance in the years preceding the revolution and the ploy employed by the ousted regime in its attempt at suppressing dissidents. It will also touch on the role of theatre in the popular culture that followed the revolution. This is dissertation would be particularly well suited to those looking to the insight found in the writings of Voltaire and Rousseau.
The changing face of London's East End: An analysis of census returns 1851 – 1901
Topic Description :Enumerators' reports and census returns enable historians to look back at the situations that surrounded their predecessors. When coupled with different government reports and fresh accounts of the 'life of the London', they form a powerful tool for gaining unique insight. This dissertation examines how the face of London's east end underwent changes in the closing half of Victoria's reign. The IHR is leading the charge with its centre for Metropolitan studies in shining a light on life in the capital. It has become a topic, which has increasingly generated interest in the recent past.
Divided by race: A primary source investigation into the first modern race riots of England: Nottingham, 1958
Topic Description :History and sociology often interface where issues of identity in a community often arise. Historical urban studies are the banner under which numerous academic publications of great importance are coming forth at an increasing pace. The well-documented Notting Hill riots are right alongside the arrival of Afro-Caribbean people into the United Kingdom from the late 1950s to the 60s as notable events. The Nottingham riots overshadowed the dominant thoughts in the minds of citizens of the nation at the time by being the first race riot city in the UK. Archives that were released recently have been used with primary research to break new grounds in this study.
The Carolingian Renaissance: A reassessment
Topic Description :Often regarded by some as a revival in the cultural and intellectual facets of Europe, the Carolingian Renaissance is an occurrence that has divided school of thought. It took place in the late eighth century and continued into the mid-ninth century. It is suggested by some that the Carolingian Renaissance was a poor attempt at recreating the culture of the Roman Empire that produced cultural effects that lasted only a short while. The third school of thought questions the use of the word Renaissance to refer to this period in Carolingian history on the basis that a number of reforms during this period were focused on matters of an ecclesiastical and legal nature. This dissertation scrutinizes the three contested points of view to offer a deeper interpretation.
Example History Dissertation Topic 10:
The Battle of Vienna: A turning point in the Ottoman-Habsburg wars?
Topic Description :A war that raged on for three centuries is at the centre of academic debates as to whether victory was achieved by the combined efforts of the Holy Roman Empire forces and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces. Further debate sparks speculations about whether the battle between the Habsburg and Ottoman empires were a turning point in the centuries-old war or was it more proof of the rot in the Ottoman Empire. The battle was a crowning moment for the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth forces whose efforts were vital to the struggle for victory. This dissertation further analyses the difference in opinion in academia as well as the importance of the battle and to trace the effect the contribution of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had in the context of history in a much broader sense.
