Do you trust the liberal media? While the tabloid and right-wing press - the Sun, The Times, the Mail and the Express - are constantly criticised for dangerous bias, outlets like the BBC and the Guardian are trusted by their readers to report in the interests of the public. However, the reality is that all corporate media is systematically filtered by the powerful interests that own, manage and fund it. Propaganda Blitz shows that the corporate media does not just ''spin'' the news - it fundamentally distorts everything it touches, hiding the real issues from public view, and often completely reversing the truth. This book uncovers a storm of top-down campaigns behind war reporting from Iraq, Syria and Palestine, as well as the destruction of the credibility of figures on the left, including Jeremy Corbyn, Russell Brand and Hugo Chavez. Exposing propagandists at the top levels of the BBC, as well as their reporting on the Scottish independence referendum, the dismantling of the NHS and looming climate chaos, Propaganda Blitz explains the real meaning of ''objective'' journalism, exposes the fake news about ''fake news'' and outlines a model for anti-business media activism.

The Honourable Catherine is the sequel to my last book, Jane Sinclair. It was written on behalf of those who asked for it. Catherine (Poppet) and Christopher are the children of Lady Jane and Sir Charles Cholmondelay, pronounced chumley. The two have an uncanny rapport that is activated in times of extreme stress, in peacetimes, and during action in the First World War. Chris loses his memory due to a wound incurred during an action against the Germans. Rescued by Poppet, he is lost to her for several years.

"This introduction to China''s Grand Canal by David Edwards-May and Li Denan takes the reader - canal enthusiast or tourist interested in waterways as industrial and cultural heritage - through 2500 years of history of the most extraordinary engineering achievement of the pre-industrial era. The account, based on a digest by Li Denan of the 9-volume Gazetteer of the Canals of China, is also a valuable companion for today''s visitor to the Grand Canal, 1800 kilometres long, and its 27 sites listed by UNESCO in 2014 as World Heritage."--Back cover.

Abstract: Having been involved in inter collegiate student engineering competitions, in addition to current employment as a Systems Engineer for the US Air Force, a significant disconnect was observed between the discipline in process and procedures used in industry versus those incorporated in large scale student engineering projects. It was observed through involvement in the FutureTruck hybrid electric vehicle competition as an undergraduate team member for the University of Idaho in the 1999-2000 and 2000-0 1 academic years and graduate team member for The Ohio State University during the 2003-04 year, and limited involvement and observation of the following ChallengeX competition, that certain technical issues and challenges are repeatedly encountered regardless of the technical nature of the program or team composition, issues and challenges that structured Systems Engineering processes are known to mitigate. There are, however, are very realistic challenges in establishing and implementing rigid processes in engineering projects at the university level. This thesis describes a case study on the applicability of formal Systems Engineering processes to student projects. Focused on real time implementation of energy management control strategies for hybrid electric vehicles, the author includes observations on economic considerations for HEVs and requirements analysis, a review of prior energy management strategies, real time controls implementation, and the operational testing process with on-road results. Finally, a discussion on the System Engineering process as defined by the IEEE is given and examined for applicability to student project, with some final recommendations on the incorporation of structured processes in future student run project that are implementable at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
