Fearless: Mike Altman

After participating in the 2011 Heston Internship in Uganda working in a community on clean water projects, Mike gained a new interest in Global Health. His interest grew and a few months ago he started an internship with charity: water, an organization working to bring access to clean water throughout the world in a way that attempts to break the traditional donation model. At charity: water, Mike is part of a greater group that is working to more closely connect people to specific water projects through financial transparency and innovative fundraising campaigns.

Hamlet without the Prince: whatever happened to capital in 'Working Capital'?

This is one of a number of papers in the same issue of CITY on the theme "How should we write about London?" This paper is a critical discussion of Working Capital: Life and Labour in Contemporary London, by Nick Buck, Ian Gordon, Peter Hall, Mike Harloe and Mark Kleinman (with Belinda Brown, Karen O’Reilly, Gareth Potts, Laura Smethurst and Jo Sparkes). Routledge, London, 2002. It expresses great admiration for the book but criticises it for being somewhat trapped within orthodox approaches and it suggests both missing topics and missing interpretations, evident when the book is read from a marxist point of view

Systematic Power Counting in Cutoff Effective Field Theories for Nucleon-Nucleon Interactions and the Equivalence With PDS

An analytic expression for the ${}^1S_0$ phase shifts in nucleon-nucleon scattering is derived in the context of the Schr\"odinger equation in configuration space with a short distance cutoff and with a consistent power counting scheme including pionic effects. The scheme treats the pion mass and the inverse scattering length over the intrinsic short distance scale as small parameters. Working at next-to-leading order in this scheme, we show that the expression obtained is identical to one obtained using the recently introduced PDS approach which is based on dimensional regularization with a novel subtraction scheme. This strongly supports the conjecture that the schemes are equivalent provided one works to the same order in the power counting.Comment: 6 pages; replaced version has corrected typos (We thank Mike Birse for pointing them out to u

England in a Miniature in Mike Leigh's "The Short and Curlies"

England in a Miniature in Mike Leigh's “The Short and Curlies”Mike Leigh’s films are known for having kept the same tone and having played out the same melody for years. It is noteworthy that all the themes which Mike Leigh developed in his subsequent films, appeared in The Short and Curlies. Short scenes from the life of the English in The Short and Curlies can be seen in each scene of the film. From details such as a street with a perfectly straight terrace of houses with small gardens to social questions that are constant in the British culture. This ordinary, everyday observation gave rise to the plot of The Short and Curlies, revolving around a love affair of Joy (Sylvestra Le Touzel), a young woman working at a chemist’s and Clive (David Thewlis), a man who communicates with her only by means of his humourless jokes. Another story in the film is a complicated relationship of an eccentric hairdresser Betty (Alison Steadman), who is more interested in the life of the pharmacist than in the life of her own daughter Charlene (Wendy Nottingham). As Ewa Mazierska says: “Mike Leigh was once called the painter of miniatures – his films and TV productions for which he is equally praised and admired, concentrate on life of «small people with small gardens»”. Mike Leigh knows that his strengths are well written dialogues and this extraordinary skill to become a fictional character possessed by the actors he chooses.Mike Leigh’s films are known for having kept the same tone and having played out the same melody for years.

Mike Edmunds: fifty years of water, rock and interaction

For almost 50 years Mike Edmunds pursued an accomplished and influential career in hydrogeochemistry. His research interests covered the gamut of groundwater quality issues ranging from the effects of acid rain on upland streams to the origin of deep basin brines, and spanned the globe. Almost from the start of his career he was involved with the IAGC's Water–Rock Interaction (WRI) Working Group, becoming a founding father of the triennial WRI symposia which commenced in 1974 and continue to this day. Mike was a geologist turned chemist but also, crucially, a ‘people person’. This combination of qualities created a tireless advocate for the subject of water–rock interaction in all its variety

A Seed on Good Soil

When Gardner-Webb’s current Missionary in Residence, Mike Boone, first sensed a call to ministry, it never occurred to him that he could be something other than a preacher. “I wish someone had told me to sit down and ask myself, ‘What do I like to do?’,” Boone says. ” I’ve always loved working outside, working with plants. I love to see things grow. But I didn’t know I could use that for ministry.” God knew better.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/3045/thumbnail.jp

The British class system is becoming more polarised between a prosperous elite and a poor ‘precariat’

Mike Savage discusses the results of the largest British class survey ever conducted. It shows that class divisions remain very powerful and are becoming more entrenched. There is a growing gulf between the elite and the lower classes, and what used to be termed the middle and working classes seem to be splintering into social classes with systematically differing amounts of cultural and social capital
