Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

The development of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has advanced to a level that affects the research landscape of many academic domains and has practical applications in many industrial sectors. On the other hand, educational environment has also been improved to impact the world society, such as the emergence of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). With these trends, this workshop focuses on the NLP techniques applied to the educational environment. Research issues in this direction have gained more and more attention, examples including the activities like the workshops on Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications since 2005 and educational data mining conferences since 2008. This is the second workshop held in the Asian area, with the first one NLP-TEA-1 being held in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference in Computer Education (ICCE 2014) from Nov.

  • Kent County Cricketers a to Z
    Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919-1939 By Derek Carlaw Statistics by John Winnifrith This collection of biographies have been written, on behalf of the ACS, by Derek Carlaw. For those readers wishing to obtain more detailed statistical information, it is recommended that a search is undertaken on the relevant pages of the CricketArchive website ( http://cricketarchive.com/ ). Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919 to 1939 Introduction Part Two of the Kent A to Z covers the 92 cricketers who made their entry into first-class cricket for Kent between the wars. With 12 Championship titles, 330 wins and only 49 defeats, Yorkshire dominated throughout the two decades, but Kent could reasonably claim to be the most successful of the Southern counties, twice ending runners-up and in only three seasons failing to finish in the top half of the table. During those inter-war years, cricket was becoming increasingly professional. Of the names listed in the county averages in the 1921 Wisden, over 57% were amateurs. By 1931 the figure had fallen to 41%; and in the last pre-war season it was down to 33%. Kent, in common with one or two other counties, fought hard against the prevailing trend. Throughout the period, they stuck to their long- established policy of endeavouring to field a minimum of three amateurs in every match. In practice, they were quite frequently unable to do so, especially early in the season but, of the 92 cricketers listed in the following pages, 60, i.e. over 65%, were, in the idiom of the time, ‘Gentlemen’.

    ENGLAND On This Day JANUARY England On This Day SATURDAY 1st JANUARY 1910 The last top notch underarm lob bowler, George Simpson-Hayward, started his Test career against South Africa in Johannesburg. In the first innings the Worcestershire bowler took 6-43 with his underarm off-breaks. However he was not as effective in the second innings, only taking 2-59, as South Africa set a target which turned out to be 19 runs too much for England. THURSDAY 1st JANUARY 1925 Four different balls were used before lunch on the first day of the second Test at Melbourne before it was discovered that No. 3 grade balls had been supplied and not the better quality No. 1 grade balls. The two captains, Arthur Gilligan of England and Herby Collins of Australia, agreed to play both first innings with the inferior balls to ensure an even playing field. The balls were so inferior that 8 of them were used before 200 runs had been scored. WEDNESDAY 1st JANUARY 1997 The second one day international between Zimbabwe and England at the Harare Sports Club was the first match in which the Duckworth/ Lewis method, for calculating a revised target after a delay for rain, came into play. The recalculation set England 186 to win from 42 overs, but they were dismissed for just 179. The highly complex Duckworth/Lewis method was devised by two statisticians, Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis, as part of a final year project at the University of the West of England in Bristol. WEDNESDAY 2nd JANUARY 1879 England were on the receiving end of the first ever Test hat-trick at the hands of Australia’s Fred Spofforth in Melbourne.
