I am the Head of Investor Relations at RELX Group. I have three things to do today. First is to welcome everybody. So, welcome, everybody. Second is just a little bit of housekeeping. If the fire alarm does go off during this presentation, you'll be leaving the way you came in. There will be people with fluorescent jackets to help you find the exit. Hopefully, that won't happen. And the final thing I need to do is to introduce the host for today's presentation, Chet Burchett, the Chief Executive of Reed Exhibitions, who is going to lead you through all we are going to cover for today. So, Chet over to you. Overview of Reed Exhibitions Chet Burchett Chief Executive Officer, Reed Exhibitions My Background Thank you, Colin. Good afternoon. As Colin notes, I am, indeed, Chet Burchett. I have been Chief Executive for Reed Exhibitions since 2015. I have been with the company for almost 14 years. I joined in February 2004 as President of North America. I came over from Burson-Marsteller, one of the WPP's global public relations agencies, where I had been serving as Chief Executive for their US business. Then, my role expanded for Reed to President of the Americas when I took on responsibility for our South American business which, at the time, was a small operation in Argentina and a few shows in Brazil.

  • Appendix A: Ceramic Ware Types
    BookID 162632_ChapID BM_Proof# 1 - 13/07/2009 Appendix A: Ceramic Ware Types Eleven different ware types were recovered at the various sites. The definitions for each ware as given below. Deflt: Tin-glazed pottery made in and around Spain and the Netherlands begin- ning in the early sixteenth century (Caiger-Smith 1973:127). The paste of these vessels was often of local clays and, therefore, variable in their color. Decorations consisted of opaque white tin-glazing decorated with cobalt blue hand-painted and transfer-printed designs, which often imitated Chinese import porcelains. Delft was used in domestic wares, decorative tiles, and a variety of other uses. Redware: This ceramic type was made from about 1730 up until 1840. As an artifact category, redware comprises a broad spectrum of specific paste and decoration variations. It is generally manufactured from rather unrefined materials and fired at relatively low temperatures. Decoration may take the form of colored slips, colored glazes, incisions, etc. Since redware bodies tend to be quite porous, interior glazing is common on those vessels intended to hold liquids (Ramsay 1947:128; Fay 1986). The lead glaze on redware affords the vessel a glossy surface finish that may be produced with a low firing temperature (Ketchum 2000:10; Ramsey 1939). Stoneware: Stoneware served as the “daily use” pottery of America, particularly rural America, after its introduction during the last decade of the eighteenth century. Stoneware is a vitreous, but opaque ware, manufactured of a naturally vitrifying fine, but dense clay. The pottery was fired longer and to a higher temperature than earthenwares; a kiln temperature of a least 1200–1250°C must be obtained (Dodd 1964:274–275; Cameron 1986:319).

  • Ceramics at the First Baptist Church of America
    Ceramics at the First Baptist Church of America Chelsea Sokolow The First Baptist Church of America 75 North Main Street Providence, RI 02903 (401) 454-3418 The study of Ceramics is a valuable resource in historical archaeology. The examination of ceramic pieces can aid in dating a site, reveal information about trade and production, as well as provide insight into the social practices surrounding an archaeological site. The variations in style and material composition are linked the geographic origin, the production methods of ceramic artifacts, and are indicators of class status in a community. When a ceramic assemblage is created the first step is to identify the artifacts. The three main attributes from which ceramic pieces are identified consist of the paste, surface treatment, and decoration (in that order). The paste is the type of the clay from which the pieces is made. The surface treatment examines the manner in which the vessel has been covered or glazed. The decoration consists of the methods, motifs, designs, and colors used to decorate the piece. (FLMNH) In general, the quality of the ceramic is directly connected to the composition of the clay and the temperature at which it has been fired. As the availability of high-heat kilns and advanced technology grew during the 18th and 19th centuries, the presence of higher quality ceramics also increased. The higher the temperature at which a piece is fired the less porous it becomes, making it more functionally useful. Discovered at the First Baptist Church of America were various types of ceramics pieces including coarse earthenware, refined earthenware, stoneware, ironstone, and porcelain pieces.

  • The Arms Industry and Increasingly Autonomous Weapons
    Slippery Slope The arms industry and increasingly autonomous weapons www.paxforpeace.nl Reprogramming War This report is part of a PAX research project on the development of lethal autonomous weapons. These weapons, which would be able to kill people without any direct human involvement, are highly controversial. Many experts warn that they would violate fundamental legal and ethical principles and would be a destabilising threat to international peace and security. In a series of four reports, PAX analyses the actors that could potentially be involved in the development of these weapons. Each report looks at a different group of actors, namely states, the tech sector, the arms industry, and universities and research institutes. The present report focuses on the arms industry. Its goal is to inform the ongoing debate with facts about current developments within the defence sector. It is the responsibility of companies to be mindful of the potential applications of certain new technologies and the possible negative effects when applied to weapon systems. They must also clearly articulate where they draw the line to ensure that humans keep control over the use of force by weapon systems. If you have any questions regarding this project, please contact Daan Kayser ([email protected]).
