Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Album Review: Enter Shikari – The Mindsweep Ellie Langford takes the hardcore rock group’s latest record for a spin By Eleanor Langford, Music Editor (2016/17) Tuesday 3 March 2015 Rating: ★★☆☆☆ Enter Shikari are well known for their outspoken politics and brazen verbosity – neatly slotted in-between pleasingly uncomfortable drops and a medley of post-hardcore-electronic mania. Their latest release The Mindsweep does not disappoint in this department. It is no surprise that the Hertforshire quartet show innovation and talent in every track, their raw individuality the mark that separates them from the crowd. The album starts with the clear intent to incite a revolution with the rousing opening “This is an appeal”. The track, ‘The Appeal & The Mindsweep I’, cleverly combines inspiring spoken word and angry hardcore drops whilst setting up the expected political theme of the album. “This pseudo-intellectual rap expresses strong concern about the rate and implications of human discovery, but without the album’s early angry punch ” The following three tracks follow in a provocative mix and begin to delve into the woes of the world, but not too clearly. ‘The One True Colour’, with its uncomfortable cyclical sound, moves past innovative and creative to plain confusing. The third and most played track of the album ‘The Anaesthetist’ is notable in http://nouse.co.uk/2015/03/03/album-review-enter-shikari-the-mindsweep Archived 11 Dec 2018 09:21:53 Nouse Web Archives Album Review: Enter Shikari – The Mindsweep Page 2 of 3 its cause.

  • Edition 10: 20Th September 2013
    Edition 10: 20th September 2013 Rugby World Cup 2015 Lead Up and Legacy Activity The RFU launched the seven strands of its national Lead up and Legacy plan on October 31st 2012. The aim of this is to set out an overall framework against which national resource will be invested in the lead up to RWC 2015 with the aim of increasing interest and participation in the game. Whilst many Clubs, CBs, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other bodies are working hard to develop local projects to meet identified local need these seven strands are areas in which we will invest national resource to create change in Rugby communities across the country. It is hoped that those delivery bodies that have not yet identified their focus will focus in on these areas and take action to improve provision and opportunities against these themes. Six Regional Activation and Legacy Groups are now up and running and are working to add value to the seven strands and to engage partners from outside of the immediate rugby community in supporting the efforts of those within it. Each group is populated by representatives from CBs and from the wider community. Attached as an appendix to this CB update is a brief overview of progress against the seven strands along with listings of clubs/projects etc involved to date – this will be updated for each issue. In addition to the work against the seven strands strong working relationships have been established with England Rugby 2015, the Organising Body for the tournament itself, and an update on relevant areas are also included in the appendix.

  • Embedding Physical Activity in the Undergraduate Curriculum
    July 2018 Embedding physical activity in the undergraduate curriculum Commissioned by Public Health England (PHE) and Sport England to embed physical activity in the undergraduate curricula in a sample of medical schools and schools of health in England during 2017 and 2018. This is part of the PHE & Sport England’s Moving Healthcare Professionals Programme Authors on behalf of Exercise Works Ltd Ann B. Gates MRPharmS BPharm (Hons) Ian K. Ritchie FRCSEd Executive Summary July 2018 movement for movement Forewords A final year medical student’s view on the lack of exercise medicine in undergraduate curricula As a medical student about to graduate, I have been left disappointed by the lack of exercise medicine I have been exposed to during my time at medical school. Despite it being a well-established way to prevent, treat and manage illness, exercise medicine does not feature significantly in medical curricula throughout the United Kingdom. As a result, there is lack of knowledge and awareness in the medical community. This issue is not limited to doctors: all allied health care professionals are in a position to influence positive lifestyle changes and all should be exposed to exercise medicine in their undergraduate curricula. We are currently missing out on a fantastic opportunity to empower the health care professionals of the future to be confident in advising patients about utilising exercise to improve their health and quality of life. This commission report demonstrates that physical activity can be successfully integrated into medical school curricula, and that students can encourage and support this being implemented.
