Unsung Pioneer Photo Collector: Samuel Crocker Lawrence and the Medford Collection
By MI Digital September 4, 2017 July 1, 2021
By Ronald S. Coddington
Veterans have always told war stories. Those who survived the Civil War were no exception, and they number among the earliest to recall their service through photography.
The preservation of these images by the veterans began soon after the war ended. Massachusetts officers Arnold A. Rand of the 4th Cavalry and Albert Ordway of the 24th Infantry assembled the best-known collection. It is fair to characterize Rand and Ordway as among the first military image collectors. The portraits and original negatives they obtained formed the collection of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS) Massachusetts Commandery.
Far less is known about another veteran, however, who amassed thousands of Civil War images, behind the scenes with no fanfare.
Left for dead, his adjutant, a Harvard classmate, discovered Lawrence, and managed to get him into an ambulance.
Samuel Crocker Lawrence, a quiet man of generous spirit, had been enamored with soldiering since his boyhood in the Boston suburb of Medford. After graduating from Harvard in 1855, he became involved with the local militia, the Lawrence Light Guard. The company was named for his father, a prosperous rum distiller and scion of the community. As the nation drifted towards war, young Lawrence prepared accordingly. In late 1860, he tapped into his family wealth and social position to rent a hall above a Boston railroad station to drill his troops. By this time, he ranked as colonel of the state's 5th Militia.
The men of the 5th, with Lawrence in command, departed for Washington when the war came. The 5th arrived in the U.S. capital a few days after its brother regiment, the 6th, had endured rough treatment from pro-secession mobs as it marched through Baltimore.
In Washington, Lawrence's regiment became known as the "Steady Fifth" for its gentlemanly conduct and soldierly bearing—the officers and enlisted men taking cues from their colonel. The regiment lived up to the reputation on the slopes of Henry House Hill during the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861. The 5th went into action, even though its enlistment had expired.
An eyewitness account quoted in the regimental history recalled the performance of the 5th that day.
"I saw the Mass. Fifth in their dark uniform and their steady advance under the enemy's fire of shot and shell; I noticed them some distance off; they came into the field by a flank movement, and then into column, with as much coolness as if they had been on an ordinary muster-field. They had to pass over an open field exposed to the full force of the rebel batteries, but they did not waver in the least. On the brow of the hill I first saw their Colonel [Lawrence] at their head. He is a tall and slim man, with dark hair. He is quite young, not more than twenty-five. They took their places and fought bravely."
In fact, Lawrence was 28 years old when he led his men into the fight. The 5th was eventually driven from its position. About this time, an artillery shell crashed into a tree and sent splinters tearing into Lawrence's side. Left for dead, his adjutant, a Harvard classmate, discovered Lawrence, and managed to get him into an ambulance. Caught in the skedaddle to Washington, Lawrence eventually made it to the capital, though the ambulance was abandoned along the way.
The injuries ended Lawrence's active duty, and he left the military service in 1864 as a brigadier general in the Massachusetts Militia.

His life after the war was marked by business success and a reluctance to enter politics, despite the urging of friends. Finally, in 1892, he consented to become a candidate for the first mayoral race in his hometown of Medford and won handily on the Republican ticket. But he had no taste for the job, and served only a single term. He preferred to move in philanthropic circles, where his generosity funded numerous initiatives that supported the local community. His death at age 78 in 1911 was widely mourned.
Lawrence left a fortune estimated in the millions, and a will that designated bequests to various organizations, which he was associated during his lifetime.
Among his personal effects was a collection of 3,680 Civil War photographs that included albums of cartes de visite and unmounted prints of camp scenes and battlefields by the studios of Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner. How Lawrence came into possession of so many photographs is unclear. We do know that he was a collector by nature. He had a passion for books, especially local and military histories and volumes related to his Masonic brethren.
He also collected artwork. According to a biographical sketch published a year before his death, he decorated the Lawrence Light Guard Armory with examples from his collection. "In the various rooms of the Armory he has hung many pictures, representing a great variety of subjects, paintings, engravings and prints, many of which are very rare." The prints to which the writer referred might have been Civil War photographs.
His photo collection came into the custody of the Lawrence Light Guard in 1911. Years later, in 1948, the Guard donated a small wooden chest filled with the images to the Medford Historical Society. The chest eventually moved to the top floor of the Society's building, which served as headquarters and museum.
Years passed and interest waned in the chest and its contents. But the Society remained a vibrant organization. In the 1980s, the Society became a frequent destination for school class trips. The teacher who organized the visits, Arlene Diamond Generazzo, happened to be vice president of the Society. She recalled one student in particular, fourth grader Chris Dennen, who participated in one trip and came away fascinated by the Civil War artifacts on display. He visited again as a sixth grader and became even more impressed. This was about 1990.
When the young Dennen returned home after the second trip, he told his dad what he had seen. Robert Edward "Noah" Dennen, a Civil War buff and an avid reader of books on the subject, was intrigued.
"Noah was really into the civil war," observed Generazzo. "I got to know him as a person and a friend. He was a really nice guy. He was a family man."
"You could see pimples on people's skin and dirt clogs. They looked like I had reached into the photographer's 1862 camera and taken them out."
Hartford Courant staff writer Trish Davis interviewed Dennen in 2000, two years before his death. Davis reported, "Dennen became a society member, and after a few months was told he'd find a few photos chronicling Civil War life in the building's attic."
The photos were still in the chest, which Generazzo described as very small in size. "A guy could carry it under his arm with one hand. It had several drawers. The pictures and were jammed inside in tight little rolls."
Mike Bradford manned the desk at the Society on the day Dennen stopped by to see the photos. "Typical civil war buff, big collection of books," Bradford recalled. He escorted Dennen upstairs to examine the chest, and remembered that, "He paid great attention to the photos."
Generazzo also noted, "Nobody appreciated the value until Noah came along."
Dennen shared some observations about the photos in the Hartford Courant interview. "You could see pimples on people's skin and dirt clogs. They looked like I had reached into the photographer's 1862 camera and taken them out."
The president of the Society, Dr. Joseph Valeriani, recalled Dennen's reaction in a written statement a few years later. "Astonished by the number and quality of the photographs and the fact that he had never seen many of them before, Mr. Dennen quickly suspected that the collection might be of interest to Civil War historians. He invited Brian Pohanka, an expert on the Civil War, to view the photographs, and six hours later, black to the elbow with dust and dirt, Mr. Pohanka confirmed Mr. Dennen's suspicion: the chest contained one of the largest and finest collections of Civil War photographs in existence."
Pohanka, a noted historian, battlefield preservationist and regular contributor to Military Images prior to his passing in 2005, played a crucial role in establishing the importance of the collection.
Before long, news of Dennen's discovery spread like wildfire after announcements appeared in the Boston Globe and Civil War Times. Perhaps the high-water mark of media attention occurred in 1994 with the publication of Landscapes of the Civil War: Newly Discovered Photographs from the Medford Historical Society. Edited by Constance Sullivan, the volume features nearly 100 images from the collection, all in pristine condition.
Following the publication of Landscapes, the collection was showcased in curated exhibits. For the past 20 years, access to the collection has been restricted, as a preservation plan was developed.
Current Society President John W. Anderson offered an upbeat assessment of the collection's future, which involves a comprehensive digital effort.
"We're proud to be stewards of this wonderful and important collection," Anderson said. "For decades, it was forgotten and neglected. After it resurfaced in the 1990s, we found ways to make it available on a smaller scale and made sure it was properly preserved. By digitizing all the images, we want to bring the collection out of off-site secure storage and make it available online to researchers, genealogists, and Civil War enthusiasts."
The job of bringing it online falls to Allison Andrews, the Digitization Project Manager.
"Cataloging the collection was the milestone that opened up possibilities for understanding and using the images, since now we had an overall inventory as well as an identifier for each individual image and a sorting mechanism," she said. "For our dedicated team of volunteer catalogers and professional advisors, working with the original prints was a remarkable and often moving experience."
Andrews added that, "The digitization phase is underway, and in the coming months the images will be posted on Digital Commonwealth, a local history-sharing platform. We are excited to share the photos with the world, and to do this without retrieving the original prints from off-site storage and subjecting them to wear and tear accomplishes a conservation goal as well."
In January 2017, MI was granted access to the collection. In coming issues, you'll see examples from the holdings of a pioneer Civil War photo collector. The images pictured here are a selection of well-known camp scenes.

In Perticular we would like to express our appreciation for Govinda, who is an excellent guide - polite, cheerful and enthusiastic at all time. He was great company to be with and we both feel priviledged to have met him.


This is a great eyeopening documentary film. The left is far more infiltrated by actual paid agents of the FBI and the CIA, and the like, than most of us on the left are willing to think about seriously. The CIA…has virtually unlimited funds. It is above and beyond the law and it knows no moral constraints. It has no financial or moral or legal constraints to stop it from doing whatever it's going to do. There's a tremendously large number of CIA agents who are moles within the media. They occupy positions, high and low, throughout the newspaper, television, radio, and book publishing industries. A dozen carefully researched books have exposed the official story of 9/11 to be a terror fraud. Yet the mainstream media have monolithically failed to ask elementary questions about anomalies in this story. So-called alternative media have been little better. Towers of Deception explains why and prescribes actions to break out the truth.
Authored by a lifelong journalist who was for thirty-five years a media critic, Towers of Deception provides twenty-six "exhibits" of evidence proving "beyond a reasonable doubt" that 9/11 was an inside job. It then presents case histories of de facto censorship by mainstream media and examines the psychological phenomenon of denial. "False flag" operations and psychological warfare are dealt with in detail, as is the "invisible government"-the powers pulling strings behind the scenes. Following a profile of Dr. David Ray Griffin as an authentic prophet of the 9/11 truth movement, Towers of Deception urges people to speak truth to power and challenge all media.

Fylde's deluded Local Plan says 207 'Affordable Houses' a year are needed. But in the real world, the banks and Social Landlords say there is not enough certainty of rental demand to guarantee the rental income from Fylde tenants alone. So FBC is planning to import its housing need from elsewhere.
We record the passing of another of Fylde's long serving Councillors. Hannah was a lady who knew of the savage and routine bombing of Liverpool in WW2, and whose experience gave her the determined and tenacious character which her Singleton electorate so respected.
A disaster of a meeting where Fylde fudged yet another governance issue. But it was most memorable for its pay awards for Councillors - and especially the one that will pay Leader Susan Fazackerley four times as much as she should get in real terms.
Started well as Chairman Karen Buckley treated us to her very best 'sweetness and light' mode only to descend into the worst form of party political 'jackbooting' (as one Cllr described it). We suspect what happened here was a test bed for sidestepping the legal requirements of political balance in committees.
Another of Chairman Trevor Fiddler's awful stasi-style meetings with members asked by officers to provide comment and changes to the latest draft of the local plan, only to find 'Chairman Trevor' blocking their input and criticising the officers for suggesting it. An awful meeting.
This meeting was only just above average in the way it was run. We thought that was more down to how the Chairman chose to run the meeting rather than the procedures Fylde has put in place. To us it seemed to be the way he thought things should be done. We didn't agree.
We thought this was a pretty well run meeting. Chairman Cheryl Little was competent and consensual. There were a couple of interesting cameos during the meeting, and we note something one of the officers said in the meeting which we found a bit unusual.
A first class example of how to run a committee meeting. Chairman David Eaves' handling of the meeting was excellent. Furthermore, this committee has established the principle that items marked 'For Information' can become the subject of a resolution and decision by the Committee.
We expose investigative incompetence in relation to two councillors who failed to declare interests which should have prevented them from taking part in meetings where matters regarding Cuadrilla were being discussed.
Our promised (and personal) analysis of what the election results might mean for Fylde. Government gets a green light to do what it wants, and an increased Conservative majority takes all the Chairmanships and Vice Chairmanships on Fylde's new Committee system.
We bring the results of Fylde's Parliamentary Election. Mark Menzies retains his Parliamentary seat, and Fylde Borough's Conservatives increase their majority on the Council. There were several surprises. An analysis of what it means for the people of Fylde will follow shortly.
Our 'Pen Picture' for this weeks elections in Fylde Borough, (both Parliamentary and Borough). It's a difficult election to call with lots of extraneous forces at play. Despite an incredible campaign by independent, Mike Hill we think our present MP will remain.

Milan have been after Lucas Biglia for some time now. The Rossoneri want to add experience to the team after securing the signatures of several top young talents. Biglia is considered the ideal profile for the deep lying play-maker role at Milan by the management and Montella.
According to Milannews.it, the deal to bring Biglia from Lazio to Milan has unlocked today, after weeks of negotiations. The parties have reportedly erased all doubts and distances between offer and demand.
The Argentinian international is expected to arrive at Milan in deal not involving any technical counterparts, despite the fact that Lapadula was heavily linked to Lazio in the past days. Milan will pay only cash for Biglia. In the coming hours the deal is expected to be defined.
Biglia registered five goals and four assists for Lazio across all competitions last season. He is also club captain and has played 49 matches for Argentina throughout his career, scoring one goal.

Front page Politics Loose "power" of Deputy Zatulin
Loose "power" of Deputy Zatulin
Instead of strengthening the Armenian-Russian relations, State Duma Deputy Konstantin Zatulin can be engaged in banal dividing of funds allocated for this purpose. And at the same time "deceive" the country's leadership?
Acording to the correspondent of The Moscow Post, on the sidelines, they continue to discuss the recently "floated" list of so-called "Kremlin influence agents" from the Dossier Analytical Centre, which many observers consider to be the subsidiary of Western intelligence services. State Duma Deputy and member of the CIS Affairs Committee Konstantin Zatulin was also included in the Dossier list.
The latter has been dealing with issues of relations with compatriots for many years. He was also one of the initiators of the International Club of Russian-Armenian friendship named Lazarevsky Club. His task was to comprehensively develop relations between the two countries.
But centres like the Dossier spread rumours that the task iis completely different - to increase their influence on "Pro-Western" Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who came to power as a result of events similar to the "colour revolution". And at the same time to protect Russian interests in this country.
It turns out that the Lazarevsky Club could be a counterbalance to the influence that Pashinyan may experience from the natives of Armenia living in the United States. Many of them are for anti-Russian sanctions. But even if there was such an aim, Zatulin failed it. The club has not become anything more than a "talker", but it receives good financial support from its members.
Who "orders music" and who is "dancing"?
Instead of the "soft power" of the Russian Federation, which the club could have become, it turned into a "loose" force. And this is despite the fact that, according to the authors of the Dossier Centre website, allegedly the activities of the club are paid for by state corporations from the Russian Federation: Rosoboronexport and Gazprom export. We are talking about more than 150 million rubles. Not bad!
At the same time, Russians who were born or started their business in Armenia are also investing in the development of the organization. According to the authors of the Sochi24 website, allegedly following the results of the first meeting of the Сlub in December 2018, its participants expressed gratitude for financial assistance to a number of large business representatives who are strongly connected with Russia and Armenia by origin and capital.
Among them there are famous personalities: Samvel Karapetyan (Tashir GC), Sergey Ambartsumyan (Monarch concern), Kamo Avagumyan (Avilon), Ruben Tsaturyan and others. The help of these and other worthy people helped to hold a meeting of the club. But if Zatulin, as a curator, received funds from them, did he report on the results? Unlikely.
And how could he report to them if the legal status of the club, even two years after its creation, remains unclear. We could not find information about him not only on the website of the Ministry of Justice, but also on the website of the club itself. No TIN, no addresses, no data at all, except for phone and email.
But there is information about the Moscow Directorate of the club on Rusprofile service. Here it already has both the address and the TIN... The founders of the Club, among others, include the CIS Countries Institution led by Zatulin. And no financial data. Where are 150 million from Gazprom and others? Where did they go?
That is, instead of real financial statements - only gratitudes to the mythical sponsors of the club. By the way, there are a lot of interesting companies among the links to the founders. The already mentioned Ambartsumyan's Monarch (also in the founders). If the money goes into Zatulin's pocket, is it not clear why he "bows"? Those more than 150 million rubles, by the way, are easily found in the state orders of the CIS Institute itself. Zatulin lives well!
"Loose" instead of "soft"
Based on this, it is easy to assume that the entire work of the Club is just a fiction that can warm the hands of Zatulin himself. Allow him to live in a big way, hiding behind the interests of the country. According to the authors of the Dossier.Center website, allegedly all the Club's events are held on a large scale, with cool service and treats. It is not known whether this can be believed but it seems to be like this.
But how effective is this for promoting Russian interests and influencing the elite of a neighboring state? This could be said if the Club's events were attended by at least someone who makes decisions in Armenia. But, according to the authors of the Sputnik. Armenia website, allegedly none of them appeared at the first meeting of the Club in Yerevan, not to mention Pashinyan himself. Why, then, to show off?
But officials are officials, and there is also public opinion. And it seems that neither Zatulin nor the Club he oversees has been able to achieve any significant success in promoting the Russian foreign policy, historical, and humanitarian agenda in Armenia. For example, the need to preserve and develop the Russian language on the territory of the Republic.
Where our foreign MIA openly screams for the unacceptability of certain things, for example, the glorification of the accomplice of the opponents of Russia and Armenia in the Great Patriotic war, Garegin Nzhdeh, Zatulin could only publish an article on this topic in the Moskovsky Komsomolets.
Is this "soft power"? And at a budget expense? Not to mention the fact that the article can be concluded that the personality of Garegin Nzhdeh is ambiguous... How would the veterans of the Great Patriotic War from Armenia, and especially from the Crimea, where this figure "left traces", look at this?
According to rumours, Nzhdeh may also be "ambiguous" for Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. But there in not a single word of criticism of the latter in Zatulin's article. Similar to the fact that there is no criticism or other controversial things that Zatulin and the Lazarevsky Club are obliged to respond to. Such kind of the "promotion of the Russian agenda".
In August of this year, Pashinyan and, conditionally, the "Pro-American lobby" in Armenia achieved restrictions on the broadcasting of Russian TV channels on the territory of the Republic. RBC wrote about this. Did Zatulin say a word? Where is the speech of the Lazarevsky Club members? Where is the criticism in the Committee on Foreign Relations in the State Duma?
Whose mill is Konstantin Zatulin pouring water on (on the left)?
Against this background, humanitarian programs of friendship between the two states continue to be curtailed. In recent years, only a few classes have appeared in Armenia where Russian is taught on along with Armenian. And even then, only for those children who have one of the parents - a native of Russia.
The result is prosaic. Armenia ranked first among the CIS countries in terms of outflow of the population who consider Russian their native language. This was reported by Interfax. Against this background, Zatulin does not believe that there are any problems in the relations and humanitarian policy of the two countries. Isn't that why he is awarded orders in Yerevan? For example, he has the Order of Honour of the Republic.
To sum up, all this raises extremely serious questions about what Zatulin does. And not only within the Lazarevsky Club, but also more broadly - within the CIS institution and the State Duma. Meanwhile, the CIS itself, with such "curators", is more and more like a fiction. While its governing bodies receive money from the budget and other sources…
So whose friend and comrade is Konstantin Zatulin? The Russian state? The peoples of Russia and Armenia? Or, after all, representatives of large businesses of both countries who do not think to lift a finger to strengthen relations between the two countries under the wonderful Armenian cognac and toasts about the friendship of peoples?
Or maybe something much worse. After all, if it is true that Pashinyan and part of the Armenian elite are oriented towards the West and the United States, then by such actions Zatulin pours water on their mill. But this may already smell of high treason...

The Community Coaching Program started in 2010 and continues to provide hockey opportunities for children between the ages of 6 -12.
We help develop the skills of local school children through 'School based coaching' , 'Holiday H ockey Camps and delivering a 'Primary Schools Hockey League' each year. Support has been provided through both England Hockey and also the Premier League 4 Sport via their local agent, Pompey In The Community. however we try and be as self sustained as possible.
The coaching is provided by Havant Hockey Club and is now managed by Jon Keynes. Jon has over 20 years experience teaching and coaching local primary aged children. To date over 2000 pupils have been coached through our program and we have seen a strong intake of new membership into Havant HC, giving more of a commitment to sport and of course, hockey.
In addition we have supporting young coaches wishing to gain experience and hockey based qualifications within the community program and club.
We run regular before and after schools clubs in local primary schools. Our clubs teach England Hockey Core Skills through a range of fun activities, and give prticularly state school children added opportunity.
We can support schools by assisting with curriculum time coaching. Havant have developed a six week program to develop lesson delivery step by step in a safe, supportive and exciting way. We leave schools with lesson plans and further ideas with additional England Hockey materials available to support teachers.
We run holiday Hockey Camps during all school holiday periods. Jon oversees and provides the framework for the day. Our young and energetic coaches help to deliver a fun-packed day for all children between the ages of 6-12.
Our days generally run from 10-30 am -3 pm. The morning work on core shills and fun games, followed by an afternoon of matches on our fantastic all-weather pitch at Havant College.
We find that many children come along on a regular basis now they know we are here and running regular camps. Prizes for the ,Most Improved Players and Man of the Match always seem to prove popular.
Many of our young coaches have played hockey to county and regional level and are carefully chosen for their ability to work with youngsters.
Havant Hockey Club works with the local schools sports co-ordinator Jneny Knight to organise a local Havant and district help arrange schools league in This usually takes place each year in the Autumn term.
Giving a great opportunity for school children (and their teachers)to play in a friendly competition, its another great chance to play on the Havant College all-weather pitch after school and under floodlights. Children learn so much about team games with a set of hockey rules. There is an opportunity to enter a 'gold' standard and a 'silver' standard league (more for complete beginners). The winners of the gold league go through to the Hampshire Games finals at the Aldershot hockey centre.

KINGDOM HEARTS III -World of Tres- Interview: Nomura & Shimomura
Thread starter Sign
trapped in revamp hell
KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World of Tres- is approaching its final performance. To commemorate the end of this world tour, we're sharing the exclusive developer and composer interviews from the concert pamphlet.
This will be the first of four, starting with an interview between Tetsuya Nomura and Yoko Shimomura! Read up on how their plans for the world tour came together, their history working together and work on KINGDOM HEARTS III!
Director & Composer Interview
Tetsuya Nomura & Yoko Shimomura
All the logos were matched to the season
– When were the plans for this concert finalized?
Nomura: Plans were pretty much finalized by the time of the KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra -World Tour- took place.
Shimomura: I actually have a question for you, Tetsu-san. Why is the logo for this concert pink?
Nomura: Because it's Spring. All the logos are matched to the season. The logo for KINGDOM HEARTS Concert -First Breath- was blue because it was Summer, World Tour was Spring, so it was a verdure color.
Shimomura: Interesting!
–With regard to song selection, who primarily held the reins?
Shimomura: The selections were made based on Tetsu-san's vision of how it should go blended in with my own vision of how it should go.
Nomura: The basic blocks were decided by me. The general structure I came up with was, Part 1 would be all the songs from the titles preceding KINGDOM HEARTS III (KH III hereafter), and Part 2 would exclusively feature songs from KH III.
Shimomura: I initially wanted to do every field and battle theme in KH III, but I surmised that alone would fill up an entire concert program. But thanks to Tetsu-san's suggestion, we devised a way to pack everything into Part 2, by arranging a lot of medleys and such. As a result, a massive number of songs was squeezed into the program, leading arrangers and performers to weep (laughs).
Nomura: I understand the appeal of a concert solely for KH III, but I had a feeling that the fans wanted to hear other songs as well. That was the reasoning behind this structure. In Part 1, the audience will experience the story that leads up to KH III, and then during the brief rest, they can ponder and reminisce about the story in preparation for KH III.
Shimomura: Experience the whole story one more time.
Nomura: Exactly. Part 1 can be considered a long prologue.
I wonder how the medleys will turn out
–With all the music being performed by an orchestra, is there anything in particular that you're looking forward to?
Shimomura: The songs I wonder about the most when they're to be played by an orchestra are the songs from KINGDOM HEARTS coded (coded hereafter).
Nomura: Not KH III?
Shimomura: The music in KH III is mostly well-suited for an orchestra, so I'm not concerned. coded, on the hand, is not well-suited for an orchestra at all, so I'm very curious about how it will play. In that same vein, I think Baymax played by an orchestra will be very interesting.
Nomura: I wonder how the medleys will turn out, because there are so many songs. But I do also believe it would be better to offer songs and arrangements that the audience can only hear at this event. I mean, if they wanted to hear whole individual pieces, they would listen to the soundtracks.
Shimomura: The total number of songs that will be performed is 77!
Nomura: Aren't you the one who put in that many songs? (laughs) I just divided the blocks (laughs).
Shimomura: Indeed (laughs). KINGDOM HEARTS 3D (3D hereafter) was actually not supposed to be a medley. We were planning to only do Dream Eaters, but we just kept adding other songs. So, that leaves coded, Utada-san's song, and Dearly Beloved. Everything else is a medley.
Nomura: Dearly Beloved is the song I asked a retake for during the composition phase, right? When I heard that first version, it wasn't Dearly Beloved at all. I remember thinking to myself, "What is this strange song?" (laughs)
Shimomura: Ohh! That was the incomplete version of Dearly Beloved. That was a completely different arrangement.
Nomura: So different that its original form was completely lost!
Shimomura: Well, the intro was the same… I did have a strong feeling you wouldn't accept that version, but I took a gamble and asked you to take a listen. Of course, the only feedback I received was "What is this!?" (laughs)
Nomura: It was almost a completely different song! (laughs)
Shimomura: So, eventually we settled down into this current version.
–Any other memorable songs from KH III?
Nomura: When Shimomura's songs do pass inspection, they all tend to pass with flying colors. So that just begs the question, "Why can't you always do that from the beginning?" (laughs)
Shimomura: I keep telling you, that's because my god said…
Nomura: Uh, no, I don't think so (laughs).
Shimomura: (In Kansai dialect) My god told me I can't make good songs!
Nomura: What's with the sudden Kansai-speak? (laughs) See, the thing about Shimomura is, she's a slow starter. In the first half of the schedule, she has tons of retakes, but then in the second half, she writes these amazing songs and they pass without any retakes.
Shimomura: Oh, you mean the production schedule.
Nomura: What I'm saying is, your first half songs mostly become retakes, while your second half songs are exceptional. That's always how it is, so every time it happens, I say to myself, "Why, oh why can't she do this from the beginning?" (laughs)
Shimomura: That reminds me, for Rapunzel, you said, "The song isn't bad, but there's no reason for it to be about Rapunzel."
Nomura: Isn't that a great point?
Shimomura: Huh!? I don't know about that… Anyway, I told you that the harp in the piece symbolized Rapunzel's flowing golden locks, and later I just intensified the harp sound. What ended up happening was, the harpist had a really difficult recording session (laughs).
Nomura: The songs I ask you to retake always end up becoming memorable classics, so isn't it all good in the end? (laughs)
Shimomura: Yes, I try to think of it that way. I wrote two boss themes as well, and you said one was too "heavy," so you asked me to "brighten it up a little," remember?
What's important is that it's KH-ish
–You are using 3 composers this time. Are there any distinct differences between them?
Nomura: I think this time around, I asked Ishimoto-san for the most retakes. I think he had a pretty difficult time.
Shimomura: In what sense?
Nomura: Of late, I had mostly been asking him to take care of FINAL FANTASY-related titles, and I felt that a lot of his compositions were leaning too much in that direction. It's perfectly understandable, but still, I remember requesting multiple retakes for Pirates of the Carribean.
Shimomura: Pirates of the Carribean is a really cool song.
Nomura: It became a cool song because he toiled and persevered through difficult times. Sekito-san, on the other hand, seemed to breeze through the process.
Shimomura: Wow!
Nomura: ...Wait, maybe there was one song. But really, almost no retakes. The only real issue I remember was in the first song he made–I think it was a Gummi Ship song. It just wasn't KH-ish, so I asked him to rewrite it several times.
–So, it's important for songs to be "KH-ish"
Nomura: Yes, KH-ish… I admit, how to interpret that "ish" is really hard to explain in words (laughs). Put simply, it has to fit the KH world view.
Shimomura: I still don't fully get it (laughs). But when I was listening to Tetsu-san's talk, I was reminded of the time we were working on KH II. KH III is a numerical title, so I didn't want to do the same kind of things we did in BbS or 3D; I wanted to get closer to the things we did in KH and KH II, But yes, I agree that it's difficult to explain "KH-ish" in words, although cheerful battle music has always been a series hallmark.
–Did the different hardware have any effect on the final product? It is my understanding that KH III has been released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Nomura: The quality of the visual and aural expressions we are able to put forth has been vastly improved.
Shimomura: Up until KH II, we were using internal sound sources(*1). We started using streaming technology(*2) from BbS, and this time around, the big difference was that we used many songs performed by a live orchestra. Up until now, only several of the instruments in a piece were recorded with live sound, or just the song Dearly Beloved, or just the ending. This time, even the field music was performed by a live orchestra.
Nomura: Another thing that was different this time was our dealings with Disney. This time around, many people who were involved in the making the actual films were still active members of their respective titles' teams, because there are now always possibilities for sequels. What resulted were more varied and in-depth talks regarding the music and the actual game content.
–Did you attend the live orchestra recording sessions, Nomura-san?
Nomura: Only once.
Shimomura: For Dearly Beloved, Face my Fears, and Don't Think Twice. We've asked Tetsu-san to attend recording sessions since KH I.
Nomura: But really, as a layman, there's no way for me to get deeply involved in the process, so I just mostly watched from the guest seats. I did, however, say one thing to Kaoru Wada when I first went to greet him…
Shimomura: I just knew of this one moment, Tetsu-san was going to say something, and sure enough, he didn't disappoint. Wada-san's solution was that he would "fix it during mixing," if I recall.
Nomura: There was one part where the sound was so small, I was a little puzzled about how it was going to be performed at the concert.
Shimomura: There will be a PA system at the concert.
Nomura: Just to make that one part louder?
Shimomura: It's what we've always done. Ideally, I would like to do a concert without a PA system, but it would be impossible at the Tokyo International Forum; the venue is just too large.
The battle songs are the cornerstones
–Are there any songs in KH III that you are particularly fond of?
Nomura: I think it's the battle songs that most effectively reignites memories. I think they all generally have a good feel.
Shimomura: The battle songs are the cornerstones.
Nomura: I think maybe this time, it's Roxas' battle song.
Shimomura: The arranger did a fantastic job of transforming into an orchestral piece. I think another one would be the song for the Ansem, Xemnas, Young Xehanort consecutive battle. That was originally my song, but when I heard the new arrangement, I thought it was so cool that I texted, "My nose started bleeding!" to (Keiji) Kawamori-kun. I can't believe that used to be my song. Oh, there's something that I remember vividly. 2 songs that I did for KH II, Vim and Vigor and The Encounter; I remember Tetsu-san praised me so much when I put out the demo!
Nomura: I don't remember this.
Shimomura: These songs are used in other series installments.
Nomura: Sorry, my hard drive is small, so a lot gets overwritten.
Shimomura: I almost never receive praise from Tetsu-san, so I remember it just like it was yesterday.
Nomura: One characteristic of the songs in KH is, all the titles are in English, so they're hard to memorize (laughs). Why don't you just name them something like I was Praised 1 and I was Praised 2?
Shimomura: If I did that, sooner or later I would have to use the title I Was So Very Rejected 4 (laughs).
–What was the first song you wrote this time?
Shimomura: This time, I think I started with Hercules, and Monsters, Inc. was somewhere near the end. I'm not given a set order to follow, so I just look at them all and start writing for the one that I first get an idea about. I guess I have it easy that way.
–Conversely, what was the last song you wrote?
Shimomura: The epilogue and the secret. Also, maybe the last recording with a fairly large orchestra was Dearly Beloved and the end credits. As for the secret, I aimed for it to be last minute for a variety of reasons.
Nomura: When I first heard it, I was like, "Oh!" But then I listened to it again carefully, and began to get it. There sure seems to be a lot of talk surrounding it recently.
–Finally, a message to all the fans and supporters attending the concert.
Nomura: This is just one of those things where you have to see and hear the results for yourself. Concerts require an inordinate amount of preparation. The same could be said for game development I suppose, but one thing to keep in mind is that the work isn't merely represented in what you see and hear; it's in the editing process of the visuals, it's in the hours spent deciding the program structure. Every time we plan a concert, I think to myself, "This is the last one!" I hope that everyone in attendance has a great time.
Shimomura: Just like how a game that took years to make can played to the end in a few dozen hours, we've spent a massive amount of time planning this event and packing all the content into 2 hours.
Nomura: With that in mind, please enjoy the show!
– Are you going to make an appearance this time?
Nomura: I'm giving it some serious thought. Maybe I should make an appearance just to do a survey. I can ask people in the audience to raise their hands and such (laughs).
Shimomura: KH fans are all very kindhearted.
Nomura: Just like me, right? (laughs)
Shimomura: ...What? (laughs)
(*1) Internal sound source: Most game consoles have an internal instrument (synthesizer) built in that creates sound signals. This is what is called an internal sound source. Consoles that were released after PlayStation continued to have this feature built in.
(*2) Streaming technology: A playback method using pre-recorded sound data, much like a CD. It carries advantages such as not having to consider issues like polyphony, allowing for near unlimited freedom in playback. On the other hand, the hardware specs required to use the technology are very high, thus it took a long time for the game world to adopt it.
(*3) PA system: The sound of a live orchestra is limited in range (the maximum is said to be a 2000-seat venue). Therefore, concerts in large venues such as the Tokyo International Forum, which boasts 4000+ seats, require a PA (Public Address) system.
(*4) Kawamori-kun: Keiji Kawamori, A sound manipulator at SQUARE ENIX.

I think another one would be the song for the Ansem, Xemnas, Young Xehanort consecutive battle. That was originally my song, but when I heard the new arrangement, I thought it was so cool that I texted, "My nose started bleeding!" to (Keiji) Kawamori-kun.
Interesting, so Shimomura wasn't behind that fantastic rendition? Then who was I wonder?
And the epilogue was one of the last themes, I really dug that one. Gah, when are they gonna release the KH3 OST so we can have proper names for these?
Also wanna give a shout out to Zephyr for typing up all of these long-ass interviews ;w;

How was the epilogue music one of the last compositions if it was already present in Back Cover? A shorter version, but it was already composed.
I find Nomura's surprised reaction to the secret ending music when he first heard it very interesting. I thought the music was similar to Versus 13/FFXV and specifically Somnus because Nomura told Shimomura to compose it that way, but it seems like he had no idea at first and it was Shimomura's initiative. Of course there would be much talk about it and the secret ending as a whole, what else could he expect?
okhi12 said:
Nomura wrote the lyrics for Somnus. I kinda can't help but wonder if Shimomura composed the secret ending theme similarly in response to him not only losing that song, but it also now being associated with a rather awful character.
That she intentionally left finishing this song until the last minute is also rather suspicious.

It should also be noted that Keiji Kawamori has been working with the KH series for years and helps Shimomura a lot.
The soundtrack for KH3 was probably worked on at the same time as 2.8, and among all of the songs made between those two projects, the epilogue and the final songs were the last ones made.
Twilight Lumiair
I'm honestly kinda interested in hearing that incomplete Dearly Beloved arrangement, lol. Nomura never says whether or not he thought it was good, but considering Shimomura was confident enough to pitch it to him again, I'm sure it's a fabulous piece.
I love how even with Disney characters Shimomura carefully chooses the motifs and instruments to match the character's key design features. Using the harp for Rapunzel is honestly a genius choice
Considering Re Coded is still my favorite KH game and I don't think it's unique tracks have ever been properly orchestrated (seriously, screw the cutscene movie), I too am beyond curious to see how this plays out. Hopefully it does the title justice.

Pumpkins are everywhere in Philadelphia these days. There's Pumpkin, the BYOB. There's Pumpkin Cafe, a little eat-in and take-out cafe. And there's Pumpkin Market, the cute little local produce and goods market across the street from the Cafe. Don't let the signs fool you, they switched and forgot to change them. The market is the cafe, and the cafe is the market.
We ate at the cafe the other day for lunch. There's a few little tables outside and a few little tables inside. It seems like it's more of a take-out place. I'd been wanting a smoothie, so I got one. It was just ok. Too tart. I also got a meatball sandwich, which was great. It was a bit strange in that it didn't come on a long roll, but a kaiser type roll, but it was good nonetheless. J got some kind of chicken sandwich (sorry I forgot, and I didn't feel like taking pics) and an iced coffee. They have simple syrup for iced drinks here, so a big check in the positive category in my eyes. One of these days, I'll actually have to go to the BYOB. I've heard very good things about it. And if it's anything like the cafe or market, I'm sure it will be good.


Police investigating three murders arrested 43 feuding New York gang members on Thursday based on evidence collected from monitoring what the gang members were saying about the cases on Twitter and Facebook, authorities said.
"By linking their postings and boastings to active cases and other crimes, these officers were able to build their case," Kelly said.
Hynes said the feud that started in August between Wave Gang and Hoodstarz resulted in the death of an innocent bystander, and the wounded included a 9-year-old boy and his father.
Wave Gang members often robbed 13- and 14-year-olds by threatening to steal their bikes and electronics to intimidate them into joining their gangs, Hynes said.

The advent of smart sensing technologies has opened up new avenues for addressing the billion dollar problem in the wastewater industry of H2S corrosion in concrete sewer pipes, where there is a growing interest in monitoring the environmental properties that govern the rate of corrosion. In this context, this paper proposes a methodology to predict the moisture content of concretes through data-driven approach by using Gaussian Process Regression modeling. The experimental program in this study practices measurements during wetting and drying phases of concrete. The obtained moisture data is used to train the prediction model against interpreted electrical resistivity data. The data of analytical model formulated from Archie's Law is then analyzed with experimental and Gaussian Process prediction data.

Recent studies highlight turmeric's superiority by demonstrating its potential to target some of the deadliest forms of cancer while not harming any healthy cells, as published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that is attributed to most of the health benefits. It has been shown to cut growth rates of prostate cancer tumor progression by 50%; supplementation can lead to 36% decline in lung cancer tumor size, and 40% reduction in colon tumor development.
In this study researchers used models to show how turmeric can inhibit DYRK2 enzymes using x-ray crystallography to obtain 3D images to demonstrate curcumin binding to this enzyme atomically. Inhibiting these enzymes stops proteasome protein complexes involved in cancer development, which interferes with cancer cell proliferation reducing and slowing cancer growth.
Proteasome addicted cancer cells such as triple negative breast cancer and multiple myeloma depend on proteasomes for survival that curcumin inhibits. Pharmaceutical inhibitors do exist, but they also damage healthy cells along with the cancerous cells at the same time. Curcumin can do this while leaving healthy cells undisturbed, which is great news.
Not only can curcumin target and help to fight cancer, it helps to stop blood vessels that give tumors life from growing and developing, and turns off genes that promote development of tumors. Curcumin also protects DNA from incurring cancerous mutations from radiation and environmental toxins. It would seem curcumin takes multipronged approaches to fighting cancer by trying to stop it at every turn.
Turmeric holds many qualities that may help to fight cancer; adding it to the diet will not hurt, but there are bioavailability issues, simply dousing food it in doesn't mean you will be ingesting vast amounts. Curcumin is broken down quickly in the body and is eliminated, researchers are trying to develop delivery methods to provide the best benefits. Supplements are one of the best options, as long as they are of high quality offering potent organic content and come from trusted sources.
Piperine found in black pepper can help to dramatically improve absorption of turmeric; supplements that contain piperine will help, as well as adding black pepper to meals. Fat is soluble and making curcumin to be better absorbed when it is consumed along with some healthy fats such as combining it in milktumo and warm it up, or with coconut milk to boost absorbency, heating is believed to increase its solubility.
Typically turmeric is safe, however those with gallstones and bile duct issues are probably best to avoid using it. Also anyone undergoing chemotherapy should have a discussion with a medical professional as it can interfere with certain chemo drugs.

The Cyclones, who sunk to 23rd in The Associated Press Top 25 this week, are going a week without a game coming off a difficult and surprising loss to TCU with Big 12-leading Kansas State on deck Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas.
"Obviously, you wish you were coming off a win," ISU coach Steve Prohm said. "You'd probably treat it the same way, but your sense of urgency should be raised up a whole notch."
"I was frustrated going down to Texas Tech," Prohm said. "A little ticked off. Kind of had a point to prove, and I'm kind of back in that mode again. I think we're the best when we're like that."
"Getting rest," fifth-year senior Nick Weiler-Babb said, "make sure everybody's bodies are feeling good.
"Just making sure everybody's ready to go, get your minds back locked in."
"We'll go for about an hour and break down guarding the dribble and executing in the halfcourt," Prohm said, "and then Kansas State will be more of our emphasis Thursday and Friday."
"I think it's good the way we broke it up," Prohm said. "I didn't want to go three straight days and take another day off today. I kind of wanted to break it up and get in so we're not removed from them too much, and I get get on the road some as well, too."
"They'll still be around the facility," Prohm said. "They'll still get in there and get shots and do some lifting on their own, watch film on their own, different things like that."
"Basketball is a long season, and this right here," Prohm said, "the bye week, comes at a good time where we can get some rest, we can practice a little bit and then Thursday and Friday we've got to turn the switch and get dialed in on us getting better but also preparing for (Kansas State)."

HESA Students in Higher Education Institutions 2005/06 reveals HE participation widens as disabled access improves
Students Gender Ethnicity Publication Statistics Widening participation
Data from the newly released HESA Students in Higher Education Institutions 2005/06 publication shows that the proportion of university students declaring a disability at all levels of study continues to rise.
In total, 137,945 students declared themselves as having a disability in 2005/06, an increase from 128,185 students in 2004/05 and 115,595 in 2003/04. By this definition, the total number of disabled students has risen by just over two thirds, or 67.7pc, from 82,280 since 2000/01. In contrast the total number of UK domiciled students over this period saw a 14.0pc rise from 1,759,755 students to 2,006,035.
Numbers of disabled students increased as a proportion of total students, accounting for 6.9pc of students in 2005/06, up from 6.5pc in 2004/05. Splitting the data by level of study shows that 7.9pc of first degree students were registered with a disability at their institution in 2005/06, an increase from 7.5pc on the previous year. The proportion of undergraduate and postgraduate students registered as disabled also rose to 7.3pc and 5.1pc from 6.9pc and 4.8pc respectively. Figures apply to students domiciled in the UK and excluding non-UK domiciled students.

New data on ethnicity reveals that the number of UK domiciled black students studying full-time for taught higher degrees (including doctorates and masters degrees) leapt by around a quarter with a 26.5pc increase in black males and a 24.5pc increase in black females. In 2005/06, there were 1290 black males and 1140 black females studying for these qualifications full-time, as opposed to 1020 black males and 915 black females in 2004/05.
At undergraduate level there was an 11.6pc increase in the number of black students registered for a full-time first degree. In a gender split of these students, the enrolments of black males and black females showed a percentage increase of 11.1pc and 11.9pc respectively. However, the underlying numbers present an uneven gender distribution, with black males making up 17,820 students, and black females 23,775 students; meaning 57.2pc of this group are female.
Similarly, females constitute 55.7pc of full-time first degree students in both the white ethnic group and the 'Other' (including mixed race) ethnic group. Conversely, among students of Asian ethnicity the gender split is almost 50/50, with females comprising 49.7pc of the 98,240 full-time first degree Asian students in the UK.

Due to the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998, HESA implements a strategy in published and released tabulations designed to prevent the disclosure of personal information about any individual. These tabulations are derived from the HESA non-statutory populations and may differ slightly from those published by related statutory bodies. This strategy involves rounding all numbers to the nearest 5. A summary of this strategy is as follows:
0, 1, 2 are rounded to 0
All other numbers are rounded to the nearest 5
So for example 3 is represented as 5, 22 is represented as 20, 3286 is represented as 3285 while 0, 20, 55, 3510 remain unchanged.
Definitions of ethnicity and disability are given below. HESA recommend that these definitions are kept under consideration when reading the data.
This press release is based on data for UK domiciled students, non-UK domiciled students are excluded from all figures, percentages and totals. A definition of UK domicile can be found in the definitions that follow:
HESA cannot accept responsibility for any inferences or conclusions derived from the data by third parties.
Student Definitions
Higher education (HE) students are those students on programmes of study for which the level of instruction is above that of level 3 of the National Qualifications Framework, i.e. courses leading to the Advanced Level of the General Certificate of Education (GCE A-levels), the Advanced Level of the Vocational Certificate of Education (VCE A-levels) or the Advanced Higher Grade and Higher Grade of the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) Advanced Highers/Highers.
The HESA Student Record contains information about individual enrolments, which, because a student can be enrolled on more than one programme of study, will exceed the number of students. Postdoctoral students are not included in the HESA Student Record.
The HESA standard registration population has been derived from the HESA Student Record and ensures that similar activity is counted in a similar way irrespective of when it occurs. The population splits the student experience into 'years of programme of study'; the first year of which is deemed to start on the commencement date of the programme with second, and subsequent years, starting on, or near, the anniversary of that date. Registrations are counted once for each 'year of programme of study'. Short course registrations are counted in the standard registration population regardless of whether they are active on the 1 December of the reporting period. However students who leave within 2 weeks of their start date, or anniversary of their start date, and are on a course of more than two weeks duration, are not included in the standard registration population. Dormant students, incoming visiting and exchange students from overseas and students studying for the whole of their programme of study outside of the UK are also excluded from this population.
Rounding strategy
All other numbers are rounded to the nearest 5.
This rounding strategy is also applied to total figures; the consequence of which is that the sum of numbers in each row or column will rarely match the total shown precisely. Note that subject level data calculated by apportionment will also be rounded in accordance with this strategy.
Average values, proportions and FTE values prepared by HESA will not be affected by the above strategy, and will be calculated on precise raw numbers. However, percentages calculated on populations which contain 52 or fewer individuals will be suppressed and represented as '..' as will averages based on populations of 7 or less.
Full-time students are those normally required to attend an institution for periods amounting to at least 24 weeks within the year of programme of study, on thick or thin sandwich courses, and those on a study-related year out of their institution. During that time students are normally expected to undertake periods of study, tuition or work experience which amount to an average of at least 21 hours per week.
Part-time students are those recorded as studying part-time, or studying full-time on courses lasting less than 24 weeks, on block release, or studying during the evenings only. Other modes of study include those students writing-up theses or on sabbatical, except where these have been tabulated separately. Writing-up students are those who are normally expected to submit a thesis to the institution for examination, have completed the work of their course and are not making significant demands on institutional resources.
The level of study is taken from the qualification aim of the student.
Postgraduate programmes of study are those leading to higher degrees, diplomas and certificates (including Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) and professional qualifications) and usually require that entrants are already qualified to degree level (i.e. already qualified at level 4 of the National Qualifications Framework). Higher degrees include doctorates, masters degrees and higher bachelors degrees.
Other postgraduate includes postgraduate diplomas, certificates and professional qualifications, Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), institutional postgraduate credits and no formal postgraduate qualifications.
Undergraduate programmes of study are first degrees with or without eligibility to register to practice with a Health or Social Care or Veterinary statutory regulatory body, first degrees with qualified teacher status (QTS)/registration with the General Teaching Council (GTC), enhanced first degrees, first degrees obtained concurrently with a diploma and intercalated first degrees, Foundation Degrees, diplomas in HE with eligibility to register to practice with a Health or Social Care regulatory body, Higher National Diploma (HND), Higher National Certificate (HNC), Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE), Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE), foundation courses at HE level, NVQ/SVQ levels 4 and 5, post-degree diplomas and certificates at undergraduate level, professional qualifications at undergraduate level and other undergraduate diplomas and certificates including post registration health and social care courses. Entrants to these programmes of study do not usually require an HE qualification.
First degree includes first degrees with or without eligibility to register to practice with a Health or Social Care or Veterinary statutory regulatory body, first degrees with qualified teacher status (QTS)/registration with the General Teaching Council (GTC), enhanced first degrees, first degrees obtained concurrently with a diploma and intercalated first degrees.
Other undergraduate includes qualification aims below degree level such as Foundation Degrees, diplomas in HE with eligibility to register to practice with a Health or Social Care regulatory body, Higher National Diploma (HND), Higher National Certificate (HNC), Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE), Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE), foundation courses at HE level, NVQ/SVQ levels 4 and 5, post-degree diplomas and certificates at undergraduate level, professional qualifications at undergraduate level, other undergraduate diplomas and certificates including post registration health and social care courses, other formal HE qualifications of less than degree standard, institutional undergraduate credit and no formal undergraduate qualifications.
* Note: Many students who study for a doctorate qualification will initially be enrolled on a masters course and will transfer to a doctorate course after a year or two. For this reason, the number of doctorate students may be under counted and the number of masters students may be over counted.
Domicile data is supplied to HESA in the form of postcodes (UK domiciled students) or country codes. Postcodes are mapped to counties, unitary authorities and UK nations using the National Statistics All Fields Postcode Directory. Countries are mapped to geographical regions following consultation with the Department for Education and Skills. From 2000/01 to 2003/04 postcodes were mapped to counties, unitary authorities and UK nations following consultation with Geoplan Postcode Marketing. Where no data is supplied about the student's domicile, fee eligibility is used to determine whether domicile is European Union, including the UK, or not.
UK domiciled students are those whose normal residence is in the UK, including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
It is HESA's intention to adopt national classifications where they exist and are appropriate. However, in this instance, there is no coding structure for ethnicity that is applicable throughout the UK, as variations to the Census 2001 ethnicity coding were adopted in both Scotland and Northern Ireland. To accommodate requirements for institutions in these regions to report locally to their devolved administrations, the coding frame has been revised. Home domiciled students are required to report their ethnic origin and for the purpose of this field, this means those domiciled in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. However, HESA advises that the figures reported in analyses are derived from a subset which may not be representative of the total student population.
The following entries have been grouped together and this may mean that the ethnicity groupings used in previous years may not now be comparable:
The ethnic category 'White' includes the entries:
White (only available for continuing students who commenced their programme of study before 1 August 2001 or for students admitted via UCAS who commenced their programme of study after 1 August 2005)
White – British
White – Irish
White – Scottish
Irish Traveller
The ethnic category 'Black' includes the entries:
Black or Black British – Caribbean
Black or Black British – African
The ethnic category Asian includes the entries:
Asian or Asian British – Indian
Asian or Asian British – Bangladeshi
The ethnic category 'Other (including mixed)' includes the entries:
Mixed - White and Black Caribbean
Mixed - White and Black African
Mixed - White and Asian
Other Ethnic background
The disability categories indicate the type of disability that a student has on the basis of their own self-assessment. For continuing students, where the information is not already known, institutions have the option of recording the student's disability as not sought. As a result, some institutions have not returned disability data for some of their students. In addition, students are not obliged to report a disability. HESA therefore advises that the figures reported in analyses are derived from a subset which may not be representative of the total student population.
The University of Cambridge – 2005/06
The University of Cambridge has taken the opportunity of a new student record system to review the recording of student data. The Head of Planning and Resource Allocation at the University of Cambridge should be consulted about significant variances when comparing data for 2004/05 and 2005/06 or using 2005/06 data where there are particular sensitivities. These sensitivities include postgraduate research and postgraduate taught totals; 'other postgraduate' and 'other undergraduate' totals; clinical medical FTEs; data relating to new entrants; and sources of financial support for postgraduates.


Well here we are, the dawn of a new era! The Thargoids are finally upon us and so the time to focus our efforts more has come. This shall be a place for us to congregate and share theories and ideas, but I do ask that you use the relevant threads for discussing their specific content.
So, does the discovery of the Thargoid Scout, and it's resemblance to the Thargoid ships of old confirm that the last war was indeed just with a scouting party?
"That's no moon. It's a Thargoid!"
Yeah, Interceptor does kind of imply they're still kind of in the fast and relatively small category doesn't it. Maybe we'll see a Dreadnaught next (with a real emphasis on dread!)!
Sorry couldn't resist. I've had Whisky and am feeling childish.
Just going to drop this here, before it's forgotten about.
I have something interesting for you all!
One of my Wingmembers was hyperdicted earlier by 3 Thargoid Interceptors, but when he dropped from HSpace they quickly approached and then sat there. No attack, no lights at all.
Some breaking news for Canonn heads and Gnosis fans!
Despite all the science going on, the crew of the Gnosis have some how found time to give the Gnosis a new got a paint job this afternoon!!!!
Great stuff FD! Looks fantastic.
Has anyone pointed out that Pailin Thargoid technology missions out of Obsidian Orbital have received a big payout buff? I just obtained 4 Thargoid Resins for 17 million credits. One of my wingmates got the same mission for 23 million yesterday.
Someone should at least let Jmanis know.
You have my attention now This may distract me enough to stop ranting about the terrible state of the cgs. Unfortunately (or fortunately) at a bucks party atm.
