Did Waterloo prevent a fresh Anglo-American war?

...energies against an American enemy. They thought a moment not less favourable than that of which they had availed themselves before , presented itself for indulging their animosity against the land of their progenitors, and no time was lost in setting forth its importance. The battle of Waterloo with Bonaparte has defeated these speculations, for as yet we have no reason...

Has Jeremy Corbyn changed Prime Ministers Questions for the better?

...energy – and the need to cycle through several publicly submitted questions meant Corbyn had little time to follow up Cameron’s often evasive answers. As PMQs progressed, one could see the prime minister relaxing. He soon realised he had little to fear from this style of questioning as long as he kept his own so-called “Flashman” instincts (the tendency to sneer)...

Does Inside Out accurately capture the mind of an 11-year-old girl? A child psychologist weighs in

...energy is expended to keep her feeling and acting in positive ways. Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger all have roles, and their order of appearance makes sense, developmentally. Joy not only tries to keep the other emotions in check, but she’s also in charge of making sure that the core memories – which seem to define key areas of Riley’s functioning – are intact....

What Brexit and Trump mean for Global Justice and International Development

...energy resources. Thirdly, this is in essence a shift towards an unprecedented economic and cultural competition that might intensify conflict between declining powers (i.e. US and the UK) and emerging powers (i.e. China and India) for global domination. We can see this shift in both Trump’s claims that he will act more aggressively in international relations with Asia,...

Leaving the EU means losing access to EU agencies - so why aren't we talking about it?

...Energy Community. There are also more than 40 specialist EU agencies throughout the continent from which the UK will no longer benefit. [The Conversation] Some, such as the European Food Safety Authority in Parma, have important regulatory roles. These agencies are full of experts whose work directly benefits British people’s health, security and economic well-being....

Low pressure die casting (counter-pressure casting)

...energy saving. Casting machines are expensive, come in a wide variety of designs, and take up more floor space than gravity die casting machines. Automatic cycling and casting removal are possible, enabling an unskilled operator to cope with more than one machine, thus giving a 10–20% increase in production rate. Production rates depend largely on size and complexity of...

Laser surface treatment

...energy. [Images to demonstrate 'Laser surface treatment' - see article] Materials: Transformation hardening Restricted to cast iron, plain carbon and alloy steels. Cooling rates are usually well to the left of the “nose” of the T.T.T. hardenability curve, enabling “low hardenability” plain carbon steels to be surface hardened. When hardening pearlitic cast irons,...

Gravity die casting

...Energy requirement is about half that of conventional sand casting. Steel castings have been shown to be 15–20% cheaper than comparable sand castings. Cost of gravity die castings is comparable with other casting processes (see diagram). Typical products include cylinder heads, wheel hubs and pistons (non-ferrous), crankshafts, disc-brake parts and hydraulic components...
