James Bond: international man of gastronomy
No full textThis article is concerned with the representation of food and drink in Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. In particular, it examines how the author uses Bond’s culinary knowledge and habits of consumption as an important constituent of his hero’s character. Similarly, the food choices of other characters, notably villains, are shown to be linked, by Fleming, to core aspects of their identity − principally their ethnicity. Bond’s impulse to observe and classify, very much in evidence in the novels’ food sequences, is examined in terms of the texts’ construction of Bond as a skilled identifier of signs

A Visit (in 1831) To Jeremy Bentham
No full textUpon the death of his father Jeremiah in 1792, Jeremy Bentham inherited the family home in Queen’s Square Place, Westminster. Queen’s Square Place consisted of two houses, and it was in the larger of these two residences that Bentham lived for the next forty years. Bentham referred to his abode as the Hermitage and himself as the Hermit. Despite this apparent reclusiveness, many notable statesmen, politicians, lawyers, and intellectuals visited him, although some equally prominent figures (such as Madame de Staël) were refused an audience.
This text is the most detailed account that has hitherto appeared of how Jeremy Bentham lived at Queen's Square Place, his home in Westminster, during his final years. The author, George Wheatley, visited Bentham in March 1831, and stayed with him for approximately three weeks. Six of Wheatley's letters sent to his sister during his stay, as well as six extracts from his journal, and a short commentary on John Hill Burton's 'Benthamiana', were collated and printed privately for the author by P.H. Youngman, Maldon, in about 1853. The resulting volume, 64 pages long and entitled 'A Visit (in 1830) to Jeremy Bentham' has been transcribed and lightly annotated, and is published online here for the first time. The only known copy of the text is in the possession of the Bentham Project.
The text also features an editorial introduction by Dr Kris Grint
Interleukin-10 production by innate lymphoid cells promotes intestinal immune homeostasis in mice
No full textInterleukin-10 (IL-10) is an immunomodulatory cytokine critical for intestinal immune homeostasis. IL-10 is produced by various immune cells but IL-10 receptor signaling in intestinal CX3CR1+ mononuclear phagocytes is necessary to prevent spontaneous colitis in mice. Here, we utilized fluorescent protein reporters and cell-specific targeting and found that Rorc-expressing innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) produce IL-10 in response to anti-CD40-mediated intestinal inflammation. Deletion of Il10 specifically in Rorc-expressing ILCs led to phenotypic changes in intestinal macrophages and exacerbated both innate and adaptive immune-mediated models of experimental colitis. The population of IL-10+ producing ILCs shared markers with both ILC2 and ILC3 with nearly all ILC3s being of the NCR+ subtype. Interestingly, Ccl26 was enriched in IL-10+ ILCs and was markedly reduced in IL-10-deficient ILC3s. Since CCL26 is a ligand for CX3CR1, we employed RNA in situ hybridization and observed increased numbers of ILCs in close proximity to Cx3cr1-expressing cells under inflammatory conditions. Finally, we generated transgenic RorctdTomato reporter mice that faithfully marked RORγt+ cells that could rescue disease pathology and aberrant macrophage phenotype following adoptive transfer into mice with selective Il10 deficiency in ILC3s. These results demonstrate that IL-10 production by a population of ILCs functions to promote immune homeostasis in the intestine possibly via direct effects on intestinal macrophages
Inorganic polymer fiber composites for protection of structures
No full textThe primary focus of this thesis is to demonstrate the suitability of an inorganic polymer composite for transportation structures. The three major themes are: field application, graffiti resistance, and evaluation of self-cleaning and de-pollution properties. Previous Studies have demonstrated the potential of the composite made of alumino-silicate polymer and carbon fibers for field applications. This thesis presents results of three field applications, evaluation of graffiti resistance including removal techniques and documentation for self-cleaning and de-pollution properties. For field application, pigment combinations were developed to match the colors of existing structures or to blend with the surrounding areas. Two field applications were done primarily by the author and the third one was completed with the help of daily laborers supplied by a contractor. In all three cases the applications were completed without encountering any technical problems. In the area of graffiti resistance, commercially available products are reviewed. After evaluation of various removal techniques the author recommends the use of citric-based cleaner with high pressure washer or high pressure water with baking soda. For self cleaning, both laboratory and filed tests were conducted. The results show that the coating effectively cleans organic pollutants and the results compare well with those reported for anatase Titanium Dioxide containing concrete and mortar. Performance in the field can be simulated in the laboratory by using UV lamps. The results of the de-pollution study also shows that the results are comparable to the results reported in the European PICADA study where they used concrete or concrete mortar containing Titanium Dioxide. Based on the results obtained it can be concluded that the composite is ready for large scale field applications.M.S.Includes abstractIncludes bibliographical referencesby Jeremy Brownstei

The World is a Scary Place, Love Anyway
No full textIn the heart of conflict, there is only one kind of love big enough to change a nation: a love that strikes first. Jeremy Courtney is the founder of Preemptive Love Coalition, a development organization that works across Iraq providing lifesaving surgeries for children and more recently responds to the daily needs of those living in the shadow of ISIS. He is also the author of Preemptive Love, a book that invites you to walk along the front lines of the struggle for peace with Jeremy in a firsthand account of his team\u27s quest to mend hearts and save lives in the world\u27s most notorious war-torn country. Jeremy hosts conversations about peacemaking and Muslim-Christian relations and shares stories of love and hope from the front lines of Syria and Iraq, where he has lived for over a decade with his wife and two children
