Analyses British pressure to partition and ultimately destroy the Ottoman EmpireProvides an in-depth study of British relations with the Ottoman Empire and the TurksConsiders British plans for the Ottoman Empire in the most important crises of the late 19th and early 20th centuriesDraws extensively on British diplomatic records and records of other European Powers, the Ottoman Empire and TurkeyExamines the role of diplomats, media, the church and politicians in fostering negative views about the Ottoman Turks and MuslimsHelps us to understand the historical origins of many of the conflicts in the Balkans, Anatolia the Middle East and even in the CaucasusThe British described themselves as "the oldest friend" of the Ottomans - but this was never true. At times it was valuable to Britain to support the Ottoman Empire against Russian encroachment, however by the end of the 19th century successive British Governments had begun to sponsor the dismemberment of the Empire. British public opinion and political pressure groups portrayed the Ottomans in universally defamatory terms, affecting the diplomatic actions of politicians. Politicians themselves harbored deep prejudices against the Turks and Islam. The result, through numerous incidents, was British pressure to dismember the Ottoman Empire. Treaty provisions guaranteeing Ottoman territorial integrity were ignored. Christian countries and Christian minorities were supported, even when Muslims in those countries were being killed and forced from their lands. British leaders even refused to publish consular reports that described the oppression of Muslims which would have given the lie to press reports of evil Turks. Drawing upon decades of archival research, Justin McCarthy shows how the British were anything but friends to the Ottomans

non-peer-reviewed ; In sub-task 2.2 of the European Union research Programme "CRAHVI", the University of Limerick (ULIM) is to perform simulations of birdstrike against structures representative of the leading edge of a commuter aircraft. The skin of these structures is made from a metal/composite hybrid material (GLARE). The inputs to this task were as follows: • Pre-test report on birdstrike against GLARE (D2.2.4 [1]) • Experimental Strain and Load Results provided by CEAT • Video Sequences of Bird Strike Tests provided by CEAT • Experimental Test Report D5.3.2 [2] In this report the pre-test simulations [1] are compared with the tests carried out at CEAT [2]. From this comparison, attempts are made to improve the behaviour of the models with respect to the experiment. Additionally the model is extended to include details of the loading frame to allow more quantitative comparisons between test and simulation.

"The experience of being body-shamed can be painful and humiliating for adolescents. Today, young people sometimes feel like they're under siege from shaming-at school, online, and even from their own family members. Body-shaming has been linked with eating disorders and psychological issues. This informative and timely title describes the issue and provides a toolkit of actions and ideas that can help teens cope with body-shaming. Savvy teens can learn to recognize and resist the unrealistic body ideals perpetuated by social media and the fashion industry and cultivate a positive and accepting attitude toward their own body"--

Outsourcing the Polity offers a new account of social outsourcing in post-independence Myanmar, demonstrating how the bankrupt post-socialist junta mediated market-reform in the 1990s and 2000s and forced private and non-state actors to take the burden for social welfare. Informed by research during Myanmar's decade of partial civilian rule (2011-2021), Gerard McCarthy examines how ideals and practices of non-state welfare can both sustain democratic resistance and undermine social reform over time. Rather than expand government-led social action funded by direct taxation, grassroots activists and democratic leaders after 2011 variously framed government social action as ineffective, undesirable and even corrosive of civic norms. They instead encouraged citizens to be "self-reliant" and support each other, including during disasters. Powerful tycoons filled the social gap, using public philanthropy to remake their reputations and to defend their ongoing expropriation of land and state assets from potential democratic redistribution. With non-state social actors more important than ever following Myanmar's return to dictatorship in 2021, Outsourcing the Polity casts new light on the lasting legacies of outsourcing for distributive politics

This book explores the question of whether the conceptualisation of New Zealand as a welcoming nation is accurate. Examining historical and contemporary narratives of migrant and refugee discrimination, it considers the economic, social, political, cultural and historical contexts from which discrimination emerges and its repercussions. Alert to race and ethnicity, gender, age, class, religion and inter-ethnic migrant conflict, this volume traverses an array of discriminatory practices - including xenophobia, racism and sectarianism - and responses to them. With rich evidence, fascinating new insights and engagement comparatively and transnationally with global themes of exploitation, exclusion and inequalities, Narratives of Migrant and Refuge Discrimination in New Zealand will appeal to scholars across the humanities and social sciences with interests in migration and diaspora studies, race and ethnicity and refugee studies.
