The period between August 2013 and July 2014 saw substantial progress, with the establishment of the new Faculty of Science and Engineering at the Thornton Science Park, the completion of the North West Food (NoWFOOD) Research and Development Centre, the collaboration on the University Centre Shrewsbury and the welcoming of many eminent visitors, including the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and Simon Weston OBE. We continue to strive for excellence in all fields and nowhere is this more apparent than in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) of 2014 which clearly demonstrates the quality of the research generated from within the institution. The REF saw double the number of research submissions compared to the Research Assessment Exercise of 2008, a performance which was above the national average, and a significant increase in the average research rating, the research power rating and the research intensity rating. World-leading research featured in 14 of the research areas in this independent assessment and we look forward to building upon this impressive foundation as staff continue to excel in their areas of expertise. Providing an enriching and distinctive student experience remains at the heart of the University’s activities and we endeavour to give students the knowledge and skills to enable them to succeed in their chosen field after graduation. This is demonstrated by the fact that the 2014 Destination of Leavers from Higher Education survey confirmed that Chester was the best performing university in the North West for employability, and the 19th nationally, with 95.2% of its graduates in work or further study. The 29,551 volunteering hours accrued by students and staff, together with the support of many community initiatives, illustrates how the aspiration to serve society remains firmly embedded in the University culture. The following pages give an indication of the wealth of activities that have taken place across this 12-month period and it is entirely due to the dedicated staff, students and supporters from across the community that we can celebrate these achievements, especially in the midst of this landmark anniversary year.

  • Thin Blue Lines: Product Placement and the Drama of Pregnancy Testing in British Cinema and Television
    BJHS 50(3): 495–520, September 2017. © British Society for the History of Science 2017. This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi:10.1017/S0007087417000619 Thin blue lines: product placement and the drama of pregnancy testing in British cinema and television JESSE OLSZYNKO-GRYN* Abstract. This article uses the case of pregnancy testing in Britain to investigate the process whereby new and often controversial reproductive technologies are made visible and normal- ized in mainstream entertainment media. It shows how in the 1980s and 1990s the then nascent product placement industry was instrumental in embedding pregnancy testing in British cinema and television’s dramatic productions. In this period, the pregnancy-test close- up became a conventional trope and the thin blue lines associated with Unilever’s Clearblue rose to prominence in mainstream consumer culture. This article investigates the aestheticiza- tion of pregnancy testing and shows how increasingly visible public concerns about ‘schoolgirl mums’, abortion and the biological clock, dramatized on the big and small screen, propelled the commercial rise of Clearblue. It argues that the Clearblue close-up ambiguously concealed as much as it revealed; abstraction, ambiguity and flexibility were its keys to success. Unilever first marketed the leading Clearblue brand of home pregnancy test in the mid- 1980s. Since then home pregnancy tests have become a ubiquitous and highly familiar reproductive technology and diagnostic tool.

There is no doubt, however, in the continued historical and archival importance of this publication, and at no point was it considered that the Record would discontinue. Many of you have collections of the Record dating back to the year you came up, cherish the arrival of each edition, and read it from cover to cover. For the last nine years, Dr Robin Darwall- Smith has consistently produced a Record that is superbly written, accurate and full of interest, and I am sure that readers will want to join me in thanking Robin for his work as Editor in this time.

  • Shirley Hughes Was Born and Grew up in West Kirby, Near Liverpool. She
    Shirley Hughes was born and grew up in West Kirby, near Liverpool. She studied at Liverpool Art School and at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, before embarking on a career as a freelance illustrator. At first she worked as an interpretive illustrator, but she began to write and design her own picture books when her children were very young. Her first book, Lucy and Tom's Day, was published in 1960. Now living in London's Notting Hill, Shirley Hughes has illustrated over two hundred children's books and is renowned as a champion of children's literature. She has been the recipient of the Other Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award. She was shortlisted for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, which rewards the best in contemporary children's and young adult literature from all over the world, in 2010. Shirley Hughes won the first ever Book Trust Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding contribution to children's literature. Book Trust CEO, Diana Gerald, says: ‘Book Trust is thrilled that our first ever Lifetime Achievement Award goes to someone whose remarkable, multi-talented contribution to children's fiction spans several generations and continues to this day. Her characters are imprinted on the memories of two or three generations, a recognition of their enduring charm. This evergreen storytelling is something we particularly want to celebrate with this award. ‘Significantly, Shirley continues to innovate and create, providing young children with a love of reading that we know will give them a great start in life.

  • HANCOCK's HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes To
    HANCOCK’S HALF HOUR COLLECTIBLES Notes to Accompany Volume 3 All photographs copyright (C) BBC (unless otherwise stated) The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society is delighted to have given its support to the production of this new and unique series concerning the lost works of Tony Hancock. Tony Hancock: BBC Publicity Shot for Hancock’s Half Hour, November 1956 The Tony Hancock Appreciation Society (THAS) Since its creation in 1976, the THAS has dedicated itself to preserving and promoting the works of Tony Hancock and, more crucially, to finding his broadcasts that were missing from the archives. Over the decades, these efforts have yielded a wealth of material, most notably lost episodes of his most beloved work on Hancock’s Half Hour for both television and radio. Many of these have now been located and returned to the BBC; some feature in this special series of Collectibles, now into 1 its third volume. However, many still remain lost at this time. In addition, our efforts have found other material – shows recorded before Hancock became a household name – from series such as Calling All Forces, Variety Bandbox and Star Bill. Again, examples of these can be found in this series. In the previous volumes, there was an extensive analysis of missing recordings from Hancock’s radio career, and, as ever, we remain hopeful that some of these recordings will emerge from private collections or, perhaps, the archives of the BBC or other institutions. In these notes, we will focus on a number of missing recordings and shows outside the ‘core’ work Hancock did on his eponymous series and those that preceded it.
