The Government’s financial support for fossil fuel companies is being overlooked

Bob Ward explores the subsidies currently doled out by the government to fossil fuel companies and asks why it has not attracted the same degree of criticism as subsidies for the renewable energy industry

Robert Barclay\u27s Christology

Robert Barclay (1648-1690) was arguably the most influential Quaker theologian of the seventeenth century, but his legacy has been controversial. This article will assess this legacy through an examination of his changing Christology over time. This focus on Christology is justified because underlying the earliest Quakers’ belief that Christ was ‘come to teach his people himself’ was the notion that the Light within was Christ—and Barclay has been accused of striking this concern at its heart

Beefeaters, British History and the Empire in Asia and Australasia since 1826

The Yeoman Warders at the Tower of London (colloquially known as ‘Beefeaters’) have been represented as a quintessential part of British history. Their distinctive Tudor costumes and their highly visible role at the Tower made them iconic symbols of Britishness. One would think that the Beefeater could only be seen in London yet the iconography of the Beefeater was widespread across the British Empire, including India, Hong Kong, Malaya, Australia and New Zealand. This essay explores the transmission of a symbol of Britishness, arguing that while the Beefeater was a global icon, it resonated most with those who desired a direct connection to Anglo-British history. The reception and consumption of the Beefeater differed substantially. In Australia and New Zealand, the Beefeater allowed ‘distant Britons’ to celebrate a nostalgic history shared with the old country, while elsewhere in the Empire and Commonwealth, the Beefeater was too historically obscure to hold resonance and often symbolised the commercialism associated with marketing alcohol. This essay explores the changing representations and meaning of the Beefeaters as an icon of Britishness across the rise and fall of the British Empire

Stress intensity In a thermoroll

During the manufacture of coated paper products, a paper-making stock consisting of water and 1% or less wood fibers is prepared by chemically or mechanically separating the fibers from wood. A screening process removes most of the water; the remainder is removed through pressing against felts and contact drying. The web is further densified by passing it through high pressure calender rolls, resulting in about a two-fold decrease in caliper of the pressed and dried paper. The web may then pass through a number of calender nips. This last stage of densification involves high temperatures and pressures that lead to high stresses in the roll material. A stack consists of two rolls: one has a polymeric elastomer covering, the other is a solid iron alloy (the thermoroll). It is our task to estimate the stresses in the thermoroll under standard operating conditions, and determine whether it is possible, under certain conditions, for cracking or roll failure to occur. The main focus of our group was to calculate the temperature gradient in the thermoroll and to determine whether this gradient can lead to an intensification of stress in the nip region

Review of Early Quakers and their Theological Thought

In Early Quakers and their Theological Thought, Stephen Angell and Pink Dandelion have provided students and scholars of early Quakerism with an invaluable tool, capturing not only the vibrancy of the early Quakers’ intellectual world, but also the vitality of Quaker studies in the present day. This review will especially consider Douglas Gwyn’s chapter on Quaker origins, and the final three chapters on William Penn, George Keith and George Whitehead respectively, before reflecting on the book as a whole
