The main target is to create a series of exhibitions\, in order to gain attention on the quality of the "Londoners with Camera" as collectivity\, and not just as single photographers Members meet every fortnight\, Wednesday evening\, to discuss\, propose projects and to host a session of "live critics" in which photos are actually criticized! This time the theme for the live commentary is: "obsession" Thanks to Dave Remember that the live commentary is not an assignment. You do not need to bring a new picture with you\, you can do if you want\, but you can bring an old photo you want to receive some critics on. Please if possible bring the image on a memory stick or similar. Printed pictures are great too. An image shown on an Iphone probably won't do your picture justice.

Prof Frank James will speak about the history of the relationship of the cultures of science and the humanities\, which has been discussed endlessly since at least the 1880s when Thomas Huxley and Matthew Arnold debated them. However\, they were brought into sharp focus in the early 1960s due to a harshly critical and highly personalised row between the chemist turned novelist CP Snow and the literary scholar FR Leavis following Snow's well known 1959 lecture\, The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution. Much historical ink has been spilt over this row\, but one aspect which is only just beginning to be studied is the role of history of science in ‘bridging' the cultures. In the 1960s history of science departments were formed in a number of British universities and some saw this as a\, if not the\, solution to the two cultures problem. But the evidence does not entirely support this interpretation. For instance the department at Imperial College was first mooted in 1958 and the chair was not filled until 1963 when Rupert Hall\, who first popularised the term ‘scientific revolution' and a protégé of Snow's in the late 1930s\, was appointed. Prof James will argue that as with so much relating to this controversy\, the history of science should be seen in a much longer perspective. Prof Helen Haste will argue that C.P. Snow tried to balance the cultural and moral high ground held by the humanities by asserting not only the usefulness and social benefits of science\, which everyone recognised and in which they saw moral value\, but also the moral spirit of scientists and the moral purity of science as a way of knowing.  Since 1959 the balance has shifted and scientists are consulted as gurus at least as much as are members of the humanities.  Increasingly\, evidence-based and most pertinently\, supposedly  "value free"\, knowledge is seen as the ‘true' source of ‘wisdom'. Both natural and social scientists are a resource for solutions to human problems - science as ‘fixer'. She will explore the paradoxes of "value freedom" within such a highly morally-charged perception of both the pursuit and purposes of science - and some resistances to it. Dr Patricia Fara will discuss how Snow's rigid distinction has distorted our perceptions of the past. Join these leading academics as they give their perspective on CP Snow's famous lecture\, and reflect on the academic debates that have raged ever since."

England tamed the Pumas 37 – 15 at Old Trafford in June but a week later on home soil Argentina turned the tables with a 24 – 22 victory. Now in a forerunner of England’s first match of the 2011 Rugby World Cup there is everything to play for at Twickenham on November 14 (kick off 2.30pm). After playing Australia the week before\, Martin Johnson’s squad will face the challenge of an Argentina side that finished third in the 2007 Rugby World Cup and who have recently been invited to join the Tri-Nations in 2012. The Test represents a rare opportunity for families and friends to sample the unique Twickenham atmosphere\, and with the likes of British and Irish Lions duo Ugo Monye\, Tom Croft and 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson in contention for the starting fifteen\, there will be no shortage of action to excite the fans. England Team Manager\, Martin Johnson said: “The Pumas are an extremely gifted side and they are ahead of England in the world rankings on merit. Argentina proved again in the summer what an excellent side they are. Like all of the England squad and the fans – who I am sure will create a really good atmosphere – I am looking forward to the game on November 14.” England has played their Argentine counterparts 14 times since their first meeting in May 1981\, winning 9 times\, losing four and drawing once. *Tickets for the Investec Challenge Series match between England and Argentina are available priced at £45 and £65 for adults and £10 for under 16s via www.rfu.com/tickets.

Comics London DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4842417/ ] The latest signing to mark in your diary none other than counter-culture legend and all-round Gosh! Favourite\, Gilbert Shelton. He’s no stranger to the hallowed Gosh! basement but hasn’t been here in well over a year. In that time we’ve seen hundreds of copies of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers Omnibus fly off the shelf and the brand new Fat Freddy’s Cat Omnibus promises to do much the same thing. Fat Freddy’s Cat originally began as a footnote to the now iconic Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers misadventures but very quickly became enormously popular in his own right. Bringing feline logic to the tie-dyed\, drug-flushin’ world of the Freak Brothers\, the Cat can be seen sleeping on Fat Freddy’s head\, battling endless armies of roaches\, travelling to Mexico\, saving the world from an alien invasion and (of course) the Hee Hee Hee drug. “Gilbert Shelton is as near as comics have come to producing a natural comedic genius of the same stature as a Chaplin or a Tati. With the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers he has created a hilarious and unlikely sibling trio as timeless in their appeal as the Marx Brothers. He is truly one of the greatest and most sublimely funny talents that the comic medium has to offer.” – Alan Moore If you can’t make it in for the signing on Saturday the 14th of November 3pm – 5pm\, don’t get burned! Let us know and we’ll score you a signed copy. Keed spills!

Addressing these challenges requires changes to the UK power generation\, transmission and distribution systems and\, critically\, demands that we ensure that every unit of energy is used as efficiently as possible and forms part of a long-term sustainable system. We will only properly achieve this if all sectors are involved – Power\, Heat\, Transport and their supporting infrastructures. UK Government has estimated that an investment of around £100bn will be required to reach the UK target for 15% of all energy to come from renewable sources by 2020. Currently less than 3% comes from renewable sources. Further major investments will also be necessary to reach the 2050 UK target of reducing CO2 emissions by 80%. The majority of this will be in Engineering\, Technology\, Manufacturing\, Installation and Operation of equipment and systems. In the UK the Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has been set-up to accelerate the development of engineering solutions for affordable\, reliable and clean energy systems for power\, heat and transport. The ETI offers a unique development capability by leveraging the joint skills\, capabilities and funding capacity of its Members - Global Industry groups and the UK Government – with project participants. This presentation will highlight the overriding issues and opportunities in achieving affordable delivery of low carbon\, sustainable energy and will summarise the ETI Technology Strategy – focusing particularly on offshore renewables\, carbon capture and storage\, transport\, distributed energy and energy networks. The drivers for widespread change will be covered along with some of the potential engineering solutions focusing on the critical aspects of affordability\, the potential UK economic benefits and the associated need for skills development. David Clarke joined the Energy Technologies Institute as Chief Executive Officer in January 2008 from his previous role as Head of Technology Strategy at Rolls-Royce plc. He has been involved in collaborative research and development of advanced technologies for over 20 years\, leading a range of research groups including Rolls-Royce’s Advanced Materials development activities and its corporate Strategic Research Centre. With the latter group he led the evaluation and development of new technology opportunities in fields as diverse as fuel cells\, electrical propulsion technologies and advanced computational diagnostics. He has also been a member of EPSRC Council and is a member of the North West Science Council and the UK Energy Research Partnership. David graduated from the University of Surrey with a BSc in Materials Technology and a PhD in Composite Materials. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Materials\, Metals and Mining\, a Fellow of the Energy Institute and a Chartered Engineer. Further information Doors open for registration and coffee at 6pm. The meeting starts at 6.30pm and will be followed by a drinks reception at 8pm and an optional discussion dinner at 8.30pm. The discussion dinner will be held under the Chatham House Rule.
