Vietnam, Laos enhance investment ties
Lao Deputy Prime Minister Somsavad Lengsavath has highly valued the investment efficiency of Vietnamese businesses in his country.
Monday, May 26, 2014 20:23
The Deputy PM hosted a reception for Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung, deputy head of the Vietnam-Laos Cooperation Sub-committee, on May 26 in Vientiane.
A Politburo member and head of the Laos-Vietnam Cooperation Sub-committee, Lengsavath said he hopes the two sides will work more closely to remove all obstacles in their bilateral partnership and investment ties, contributing to consolidating Laos-Vietnam special relations.
Dung expressed his deep sympathies over the recent plane crash which killed several officials from the country's defence ministry, stating that the tragedy represents a great loss for the Party, State and Government of Laos.
He thanked the Lao Government for creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese investors. He noted that the two countries have expanded their bilateral cooperation in various fields, including politics, defence, security, economics, trade and socio-culture.
Some large Vietnam-funded projects, such as the 522.4 million USD rock salt plant, have shown the interest of Vietnamese investors in Laos, he stated.
Dung, who is also a member of the Party Central Committee, also thanked the Lao Government for the high consensus that it shows towards the ASEAN Statement on the East Sea issue.
He noted that facing the tension in the East Sea, Vietnam is determined to protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity through peaceful methods in accordance with international law.
The same day, Dung was also received by Thongloun Sisoulith, Politburo member, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.-VNA
The Vietnam – Russia comprehensive strategic partnership has been effective with the two sides supporting each other at UN forums, said Vasilyi Gladyshin, president of the inter-regional organization of Russia veteran association in St. Petersburg.

Before the puppy comes home it is important to decide what the ground rules will be. Will they be allowed on the couch and bed? Make a list of commands and make sure everyone uses the same commands such as: Sit, Stay, Down, Ack! (I use this for NO). It is important that everyone in the family uses the same commands and that all the humans are pack leaders.
Find a vet that is up to date on new vaccine protocols and later spay/neuter times. Does your vet like and respect the breed and are they willing to listen to you about breed specific research you do?
Puppy proof your house much like you do for a toddler. Houseplants, electric cords, and off limit children's toys should be protected.
A puppy first aid kit is a good idea and should include your vet's phone number, poison control and emergency numbers. I keep bandages, tweezers, antibacterial wash, non-stick vet wrap, eye wash, iodine, Benadryl and a muzzle.
Crate training is very important even if you don't plan to crate your dog. Crates can be used as a training tool and also provide a den-like sleeping area that is safe and comfortable for your puppy to unwind and relax.
It is never too early to start training your new puppy. Each interaction should be a positive experience and a time to learn. Again, I recommend Weimaraner Ways, as a tool in early foundation training! These are some of the training chapters.
Don't hesitate to call with any questions you have.

Hello, again. I know have been gone for a long time. I thought it would be a good idea to try out a ton of recipes first and then be more prepared to share them with you all.
Today I am sharing a staple in my house…LIVER PATE! Liver Pate is a great way to hide that "livery taste". Soaking the liver in milk or lemon juice for a few hours will reduce the "livery taste" even more. This is an easy recipe and I always make extra and freeze it. If you are on GAPS and cannot have butter yet, ghee would work perfectly too!
1 tsp fresh sage, parsley, rosemary, and thyme (feel free to play around with the herbs you like). Dried is ok too, just use 1/2 tsp.
2. Cube your 8 TBS of cold butter, and set aside.
4. Add liver and cook–don't over cook them, leave them a little pink. (It is ok to leave them a little raw if you freeze them for 3 weeks beforehand to kill off any bacteria. The liver retains its vitamins better if it is eaten raw.) I use this cast iron skillet.
5. (optional) put in sieve (fine mesh) and stain out liquid for extra thick pate.
6. Save the strained liquid in a little jar. Chill in the fridge and the layer of liver flavored butter will come to the top. This is AMAZINGLY flavorful butter! You can use the liquid for a stock or soup.
7. Puree sautéed mix and 8 T of butter cut in cubes (I used my Cuisinart).
8. Put liver puree in a mold (I line a small baking cup with a plastic bag to make it easy to flip it out).
9. Refrigerate until hard, and flip out of mold. Eat with veggies or crackers!
I must say, I've never really been a fan of liver pate…BUT I think you may have tempted me to try it 😉 I'm pinning this for when I finally work up the courage to make this 🙂 Seems easy enough! Thanks for linking up with Tiny Tip Tuesday this week!
This looks wonderful! I'm planning to try making a pate … totally new to me 🙂 I'd like to invite you to share it with us at Scratch Cookin' Tuesday.
I'm the only one in my household that loves liver LOL. The rest of the family turns their nose up at it. But, when I have those chicken livers available, I may give this a try and not tell anyone what it is ☺ That would be a great way to try out a new recipe on the rest of the family. Thanks for sharing in our recipe hop this week!
yes! you welcome..thats what i do with my family as well. if they like it they never have to know what is in it!
Yep! we just quickly cook the livers on the stove until just pink- we like to keep them slightly raw because of the good enzymes!
Have you tried this with beef liver? I have grass fed beef liver that I want to use.
No i have not. I am sure it would still be delicious! Maybe try soaking the beef liver in lemon juice or milk to reduce the strong "liver" taste.
Does it really really REALLY hide the taste of the liver? I'm a HUGE baby when it comes to liver. I like the taste it imparts to food, like in broth or with onions, but if it so much as touches my finger and then I lick that finger, BLECCH. Last time my dad made me try chicken liver, I all but vomited. To be fair, I don't think I've never had lemon-soaked liver. So I guess it's worth a try.
yes it REALLY does! butter is a good cover up! soak the liver in lemon water first though to get rid of the taste more.
I can't have butter or ghee. Any substitute?
Great! I will give it a try! Thank you!
This is a good one! you welcome.
I made this tonight and it's fantastic! I soaked the liver in milk and wow, what a difference that made.
oh good! yes I'm glad you can tell!
Made this for Christmas Eve and in the spirit of things threw in a splash of scotch. It was very well received. Served it with some sauerkraut and a Jewish friend said it was the best pate he'd ever tasted and planned on telling his sister so.
is it one teaspoon of EACH of those fresh herbs? Or in total? thanks!
I did 1 tsp of each, but it turned out herb-y (just how we like it.) If you want it less herby then do less. if you do dried herbs use 1/4 tsp.

COLUMN-Can AI solve renewable energy's problems? India may show the way: Russell
Clyde Russell
(Repeats item issued earlier. The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters.)
By Clyde Russell
LAUNCESTON, Australia, July 11 (Reuters) - One of humankind's most enduring weaknesses is to assume that the way things are presently will somehow persist into the future, and that current trends are inexorable.
This thinking is behind the often repeated view that renewable energy sources such as wind and solar cannot replace thermal electricity generation such as coal and natural gas.
Presently, it is correct that the most significant weakness of these renewables is that they are intermittent, meaning they don't generate close to their installed capacity and cause instability in electricity grids.
While storage through batteries or pumped hydro is often touted as a solution to the drawbacks of wind and solar, there are other emerging technologies that may well make renewables more effective.
One of those is harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the efficiency of wind and solar by using machine learning programmes to enhance predictability of generation and grid stability.
India is an example of a major country that stands to benefit from adopting AI as it builds out its renewable energy capacity.
The Indian government has very ambitious targets for renewable energy, aiming to have 175 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity by 2022 and 500 GW by 2030.
The world's second-most populous country and third-biggest polluter has about 74 GW of renewable energy currently installed, according to a government report and comments made last month by Anand Kumar, the secretary of the renewable energy ministry.
India's renewable energy, excluding hydro, currently forms about 21% of its generating capacity, compared to almost 55% for coal and 7.1% for natural gas, the report said.
However, renewable energy's share of actual generation in India is only about 9%, while thermal power provides about 77%, a sharp illustration that wind and solar aren't as efficient and reliable as coal and natural gas.
To make such a large-scale build out of renewable energy viable in India over the next decade, the country will have to make its electricity grid more responsive and integrated.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, said in a report published on July 9 that India needs to act on using technology to improve the use of renewable energies.
"A key facet of the challenge is that India's power distribution companies and load managers at times curtail renewable energy power as a result of scheduling and cost challenges, transmission inefficiencies, and a lack of interstate balancing and power transfers," the report said.
India's government does plan to use AI in integrating and improving the efficiency of renewable energy, but the challenge will be the actual implementation.
REPLACING BASELOAD COAL
The country's energy plan calls for coal-fired power to drop to 32.1% of the total capacity by 2029-30, while wind should increase to 16.8% and solar to 36.1%.
While coal, and to a lesser extent nuclear, will still provide some baseload electricity generation in India, the plan is really for renewables plus storage to take over the lion's share of powering the economy, and to do so on a scale unmatched elsewhere in the world.
AI providers such as Google's DeepMind claim they can improve the efficiency of renewable energy, with DeepMind citing a 20% improvement by using predictive algorithms at wind farms.
Up until now the thermal coal industry has clung to the view that their fuel will be needed far into the future, mainly because it is cheap and reliable and developing countries in Asia have few viable alternatives.
India has already challenged the view that coal is cheaper than renewables, with power auctions in recent years showing solar can outcompete even established coal plants, and dominate newly-built coal generators.
If renewables can meaningfully solve their reliability and intermittency issues, then coal's raison d'être may well evaporate. (Editing by Richard Pullin)

The mystery destination was… the Galapagos!
It seems as though my clues were helpful, because it took one reader no time at all to figure out that my mystery trip was to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Fantastic job, Ericka! She will be receiving a copy of the oh-so-appropriate cookbook The South American Table: The Flavor and Soul of Authentic Home Cooking from Patagonia to Rio de Janeiro.
Thanks to everyone who played along. As something of a consolation prize – not to mention as a way for me to put some of those 1,100 photos to good use – I have put together a small Flickr gallery with some of my favorite photos from the trip. I'll also be featuring a handful of Ecuadorian (or Ecuadorian-inspired) recipes over the next couple of weeks to share some of the flavor of the region.
Glad you got your vacation in. I always come back feeling depressed and go into pandemoniums of missing the place I had visited (this year was Italy for me).
It sounds like so much fun, good for you. It's one of the places I've always wanted to visit.
Just looking at the photos, it seemed you had a blast in your vacation, with all the nature and travel spots in there.
Vacations do really refresh our beings, don't they? Well, I'm working on mine, too!

Q: comparing vs equating coefficients Consider two linear equations
 Ax + By + C = 0

 ax + by + c = 0

Now if i proceed in the following way :
  Ax + By + C = ax + by + c    ( Since both are equal to zero )
 (A-a)x + (B-b)y + (C-c) = 0
 (A-a)x + (B-b)y + (C-c) = 0x + 0y + 0

which will lead me to A = a ; B = b ; C = C; assuming non-zero vlues for x and y which is clearly wrong.
My question is why is the above wrong , and could you please clarify what does one mean by comparing coefficients and equating them ?

A: The big problem here, as I see it, is that you aren't entirely clear on what the equations say. Do they say that

*

*$A, B, C, a, b, c$ are such that the equations are true for any $x, y, z$?

*$A, B, C, a, b, c$ are fixed (although possibly unknown) and we limit ourselves to values of $x, y, z$ such that both equations are satisfied simultaneously?

*$A, B, C, a, b, c$ are fixed (although possibly unknown) and we study the set of $x, y, z$ which satisfy the first equation and the set of $x, y, z$ which satisfy the second equation and see in what way we may compare the two?

*something else?

How to correctly treat the two equations will depend greatly on what they mean, and until that is clear you can't really put them togeher in any way.

A: There is not contradiction in your result indeed the following
$$  (A-a)x + (B-b)y + (C-c) = 0$$
is always true for every x and y if and only if the two lines coincides that is $A=a$, $B=b$,$C=c$.
Otherwise you can obtain x or y by one equation, sustitute in the other and find the intersection point.

A: The equation $$(3-2)x+(4-3)y+(6-5)=0 \\ \implies x + y + 1 = 0$$This equations holds true for all values of $x$ and $y$ at a certain line on 2D plane. So it the coefficients can be something other than $0$ and the equation will still hold.
If you say that equation $$ax+by+c=0$$ holds for all values of $x$ and $y$, then the coefficients have to be zero. But if that isn't the case you can have non-zero coefficients.

Batman Returns Headlines
From The Archives: BATMAN RETURNS Review; "Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, And Danny DeVito Are Iconic"
With Michael Keaton's return as the Dark Knight imminent in The Flash, we're taking a look back at Batman Returns, an adventure which is arguably both a perfect sequel and superhero movie masterpiece...
Filed Under: "Batman Returns"
View full post on Comic Book Movie
Some superhero movie sequels are terrible (Thor: The Dark World, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), while others are not only better than their predecessors, but so good that they deserve to be hailed as masterpieces (Spider-Man 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier). Tim Burton's Batman Returns quite easily falls into the latter category, and is without a shadow of a doubt a contender for the best Batman movie. That's undoubtedly high praise when you think back to 2008's The Dark Knight, but Catwoman's twisted origin story and subsequent descent into madness are every bit as compelling as what we saw from Heath Ledger's Joker.
Michelle Pfeiffer's performance is as good as Ledger's, and while Selina Kyle's origin story is...strange...there's no denying that her story arc is both memorable and original. Dealing with a complete mental breakdown, the secretary's (sorry, executive assistant) Catwoman transformation is extremely fun to follow, while her duelling nature as she looks to teach the abusive men around her a lesson (a theme which feels particularly relevant watching the movie today) leads to a lot of gripping twists and turns. Neither a villain nor a hero, she operates somewhere in between, and that makes her budding relationships with both Bruce Wayne and Batman all the more enjoyable.
Talking of the Caped Crusader, Michael Keaton really finds his footing as both sides of the character in Batman Returns and it's a crying shame he never got a chance to reprise the role for a direct sequel (thank God for The Flash, eh?). Adding even more personality to the eccentric billionaire while clearly having a great deal of fun as Batman, this Dark Knight remains a divisive figure - he grins after blowing one goon up - but Keaton still cements himself as the best big screen Batman here. While the villain doesn't quite steal the spotlight from him this time around, Danny DeVito's Penguin is still incredible. Despite being another character with a bizarre origin story, that actually ends up working really well, and his rise and fall is an arc which often takes centre stage and works better than what we saw from The Joker in Batman. The actor's transformative performance is unmissable, and a clear career highlight.
Just like Keaton is clearly extremely comfortable in Batman's cape and cowl this time around, Burton also appears to have become a far more confident filmmaker with this sequel. He makes a number of fascinating choices, both visually (Penguin's grotesque appearance is a sight to behold, while it's not at all hard to see why Catwoman's costume is now iconic) and with the story. One moment which stands out comes during a masquerade ball where the only people not wearing a mask are Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle as they wrestle with their alter-egos and the implications they have on their lives. A solitary Bruce being lit up by the Bat-Signal in Wayne Manor emphasises his loneliness before he crosses paths with Selina for the first time, and the Gotham City Burton has created is as unique and exciting as ever.
Changes to the source material won't be to every fan's liking, but as a standalone Batman story (it doesn't even matter if you've seen the 1989 movie), it works on all levels, and we're left with an amazing masterpiece of a film which deserves to be somewhere near the top of every list of the best superhero movies.
Tim Burton's Batman Returns is a masterpiece, and the tour de force performances from the trio of Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Danny DeVito are nothing short of iconic.

Portrait of Richard Owen (Smithsonian Institution's photostream).
I feel a lot of sympathy for Richard Owen. The more I read his work the more so. He is a fascinating dark character, both for the peculiar quality of his scientific oeuvre as well as for his eccentric persona. A true representative of Natural History in the Victorian Era.
History has certainly not be kind to him, foremost because it seems almost impossible to talk about him without reference to Darwin (as I am doing right now). This is quite understandable given the impact that the publication of On the Origin of Species had on defining the period. Problem is that, with a few notable exceptions1, he is wrongly portrayed as the leading antievolutionist of the time, his contribution to science thus construed as coming from a figure on the loser side of the debate and reduced to opponent of the Darwinians, in a type example of whig history.

Virtual Trade Show / Smart Solutions Case Studies / Braconier Sees 50-Percent Labor Savings With Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. Quarterback Water Closet Support
Braconier Sees 50-Percent Labor Savings With Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co. Quarterback Water Closet Support
Smart Solutions – Winter 2014 Issue
The new design of Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co.'s Quarterback Water Closet Support provides versatility in prefabricating water closet batteries. Because they could assemble the units offsite, Braconier reduced costs and saved time while renovating Children's Hospital Colorado.
Minimizing installation time was an especially high priority for Braconier Mechanical & Plumbing Services' work on a children's hospital, so they used Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co.'s new Quarterback Water Closet Support for the project. Tom Stone, president of Braconier, said the Quarterback provided a 50-percent labor savings because it's quicker to build and assemble and more adjustable, offering more flexibility when compared with the older Linebacker model.
The Children's Hospital Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, in Aurora, CO, had been open less than 5 years when their reputation as one of the nation's leading hospitals led them to expand the still-new facility. In February of 2011, the hospital embarked on a $230 million renovation and construction project, which included a three-story addition and renovation of 89,985 square feet of the existing structure. The renovations took place in active areas of the hospital that administered critical care to patients. Throughout the project, all of the contractors were challenged to think outside the box to minimize the impact of the work on patients and caregivers.
New and Improved Design
As any plumbing contractor who has worked on a health care facility knows, off-the-floor mounted fixtures are the standard, because infection control is paramount. Off-the-floor water closets make cleaning floors and walls efficient and thorough. Concealed water closet supports are essential to provide the proper structural support while relieving any loading from the wall structure.
The Quarterback Water Closet Support's new leg design provides easy front access to the securing bolts, allowing easy height adjustments even with adjacent wall framing. Four securing slots per leg allow for the securing of attachments and accessories. This design provides versatility in the prefabrication of water closet batteries while allowing the required slope in the horizontal waste line. The redesigned legs also provide a better fit against the angle iron often used for prefabrication. When working inside a shallow chase, an offset in the faceplate moves the legs back, providing a rough in depth that is 3/4" shallower for singles and 1-1/2" shallower for doubles.
Another significant improvement is the new vent placement. Vent placement 2 3/8" from the centerline of the waste outlet eliminates interference with the water supply to the flush valve, especially in back-to-back applications.
Prefab Speeds Installation Time
Most of Braconier's work on the hospital project took place in individual patient rooms, rather than public restrooms with multiple fixture installations. The project involved a mix of newly constructed patient rooms and, on some floors, rooms that had been shelled out during the original construction.
When working in the individual patient rooms, Braconier found it beneficial to start the water closet support setup in their fabrication lab. They unboxed and assembled the faceplate to the fittings, adjusted them to the correct fixture outlet roughing height, and sent them to the jobsite.
The labor savings that resulted from using the Quarterback Water Closet Support and assembling it offsite reduced Braconier's costs and added convenience. For the hospital project, however, Braconier found themselves in a situation where speed was especially important.
In the hospitals' Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), for example, the project called for converting a oneroom unit, where patient beds were separated by curtain dividers, into individual rooms to give the families of these vulnerable patients privacy during a very stressful time in their lives. The NICU was to remain operational while the work was taking place. The last thing Braconier wanted to do was increase the stress on the patients and families there. Stone said the Quarterback helped Braconier workers get in and out of the area with as little disruption as possible.
In total, 50 water closet carriers were installed. The entire project is expected to be completed in April 2014.
Stone said of Jay R. Smith Mfg. Co., "The products are good or we wouldn't buy them. They listen to the feedback they get from contractors and use that feedback to review and innovate their product lines, helping customers meet demands of ever tightening schedules in today's marketplace. They have a good inventory, so we're able to get what we need when we need it. Their customer service is second to none."

Q: How to pass multivalues parameters in MDX calculated members? I'm actually working on a SSAS Cube using SQL Server Reporting Services.
In order to filter a field, I need to use a calculated member which specifically use a parameter.
Here is my calculated member:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Comparable Stock Room] AS Iif (
    [Stock room].[Stock room code].currentMember IS (Iif (STRTOMEMBER(@StockRoomCode).Count = 1, STRTOMEMBER(@StockRoomCode), xxx)),
    0,
    [Measures].[Retail sales amount invoiced including tax]
)

This works well if @StockRoomCode only have one value. But I don't know how to make it works when the parameter has multiple values. How to replace the 'xxx' ?
Can you help me or tell me how to do it a better way, thanks !

A: You could create a calculated member aggregating the members you want to report on and define the measure in tems of the calculated member, something like:
with member [Stock Room].[Stock room code].[foo] as
aggregate (strtoset (@StockRoomCode)),

member [Measures].[Comparable Stock Room] as
([Stock Room].[Stock room code].[foo],
 [Measures].[Retail sales amount including tax])

(Note: not tested, just off the top of my head). Or,
with set [foo] as strtoset (@StockRoomCode),

member [Measures].[Comparable Stock Room] as
       sum ([foo], [Measures].[Retail sales amount including tax])

select [Measures].[Comparable Stock Room] on columns,
       (Slicing dimension such as time) on rows
  from [cube]
 where [other slice]

Note, with either, get your set expression right and test that first.

£6,550 for the full course or £730 per 20 credits* (2022/23)
£14,700 for the full course (2022/23)
Kedleston Road, Derby Campus
Through optional modules, research projects and self-directed study, you can choose to focus on the issues and case studies you find particularly interesting
You will get the opportunity to write pieces for public audiences, such as a digital resource, an industry-facing symposium presentation, and a public policy paper
This is an MA History for the digital age. You will consider how historians can engage different audiences through modern media, learn to interpret digital data, and use digital tools to undertake and present research. In addition, two modules are delivered entirely online
We'll make sure you have an exceptional student experience, with more contact hours than most universities and staff that go the extra mile.
Understand the past. Shape the future.
History has long been studied and used to help interpret the world around us, and it continues to play a central role in contemporary society. This MA lets you explore this relationship from all angles, using theories and approaches from other disciplines, such as anthropology and sociology, literary studies, psychology, science and medicine, as well as geography.
You will explore the historical context of many of the key themes shaping the modern world, such as:
the international legacy of the Enlightenment and reactions against Enlightenment ideals
the history of environmental issues
problems of globalisation and global inequalities in the wake of decolonisation, and
how history is used in politics and the media to shape present-day ideologies.
Our teaching team has expertise in British and global history, especially transnational histories, so you will build greater awareness of the historical authenticity of both your own and others' cultures. Through your studies, you will learn to critically reflect on how you can contribute responsibly to a globally interconnected society.
"The MA in History at Derby prioritises innovative, experiential, and collaborative approaches to learning, placing you at the heart of the programme as co-creators of original historical knowledge. Our approachable team encourage you to critically assess the key historical themes that shape our modern world, in a way that reflects the public relevance of our discipline when tackling today's global challenges. These advanced skills, as well as an attentiveness to historicity in contemporary society, are particularly prized across the employment marketplace, helping you stand out in an increasingly crowded environment."
Dr Oliver Godsmark, Programme Leader
An emphasis on digital and public history
A key feature of this programme is that you will be encouraged to think about how historians can engage different audiences, and how they can make use of modern media to drive new research agendas and reach different sections of the public.
In several modules, you will get the opportunity to write pieces for public audiences, such as a public-facing digital resource, an industry-facing symposium presentation, and a public policy paper.
Of course, it's now critical that historians have good digital skills so we put emphasis on this too. We encourage you to access valuable digital archives for instance, provide training in interpreting digital data, and have designed assessments that develop your digital skills — you might be expected to lead seminars using video conferencing software for example, and create websites and other digital content. Two of our modules are even delivered entirely online.
Research what you're passionate about
This MA also helps you to build on the research skills you will have acquired during your first degree and allows you to develop original research on a subject of your choice in modern and/or public history, through an Independent Study module. It's therefore excellent preparation for doctoral study.
We'll support you to develop your research skills through several research-focused modules, which are designed to help you transition from undergraduate to postgraduate study and to enhance your awareness of complex theoretical perspectives in the humanities. You will survey key literatures, compile effective bibliographies and tackle ethical questions, combining practical skills with the ability to consider epistemological and methodological issues.
Join us at an upcoming Postgraduate Open Event, where you will get the opportunity to meet our expert academics and find out more about your course.
You will study modules such as:
Revolt Against Reason? Philosophy and Culture in Europe, c. 1870-1930
The Politics of History: Using the Past in the Present (Online delivery)
Research Methods in History
Approaches to Research in the Humanities
Enlightenment: The Ferment of Ideas
Environmental History: Nature, Landscape and Society
Globalisation and the Legacy of Imperialism
Current Debates in Global Heritage (Online delivery)
Please note that our modules are subject to change - we review the content of our courses regularly, making changes where necessary to improve your experience and graduate prospects.
Our interactive teaching style and our innovative assessment strategy will help you to develop your confidence, your critical thinking and communication skills, as well as your understanding of the subject.
You will learn through lectures, seminars, workshops and field trips, but because this is a masters, there is an emphasis on self-directed study and tutorials. History is a debate-led discipline so we encourage you to develop and strengthen your own voice. This means our classroom sessions always include plenty of discussion, whether they are lectures, seminars or workshops.
In nearly all modules, you will be encouraged to apply challenging theories and concepts to case studies of your own choice. This will mean taking as much responsibility as possible for your own learning, which allows you to develop into an independent and proactive critical thinker.
We have a blended learning strategy, so in addition to face-to-face teaching, you can also find materials for all modules on the virtual learning environment and take part in online discussions here.
Two of the modules are delivered entirely online and you can complete them at your own pace. However, you can always call on your tutor or peer group for support.
You will take a wide range of assessments that help to build up your expertise (and independence) gradually. These ensure you are developing the key skills of the historical discipline as well as skills that will prepare you for life beyond university, such as advanced analytical, writing and oral communication skills.
For example, you will be asked to write essays, because these test your ability to distil information to form a coherent and focused argument, but there are also other written assignments — for instance producing policy papers and online digital resources — that will help you write for different audiences. You will be asked to analyse and contextualise evidence from different primary materials, including philosophical texts, historic landscapes and quantitative data. You will also be asked to give oral presentations and produce research symposiums.
This course is taught by a team of enthusiastic and expert historians who are active researchers. They are also approachable and committed to giving you regular one-to-one tutorial support. The team includes:

It is important that we get to know you, your aspirations and your expectations. Therefore, before being accepted onto the programme all applicants will be invited to have an informal interview to discuss the course, the nature of the programme, and what will be expected of you during it.

Guidance for international applicants applying for a postgraduate degree
Studying History at postgraduate level encourages you to become adept at critical and independent thinking, and at forming and articulating effective arguments. You will gain a host of transferrable skills, such as verbal and written communication, critical analysis and problem solving, teamwork and empathy. In addition, our MA particularly encourages your skills and understanding of public, digital and applied history, boosting your employability further.
This mix of skills makes MA History graduates attractive to a wide range of employers in areas such as teaching, libraries, museums and archives, accountancy, law, banking, retail and commercial management, human resources, marketing, the police and the armed services.
This MA will also prepare you well for doctoral study and careers in academia. It develops the independence and originality of thought you will need to complete a PhD and introduces you to the most recent developments in the discipline. The interdisciplinary nature of the programme means you could move on to further postgraduate study in other humanities subjects, not just History.
If you need any more information from us, eg on courses, accommodation, applying, car parking, fees or funding, please contact us and we will do everything we can to help you.
