¡°I simply can¡¯t see 바카라사이트 connection.¡±

That was how 바카라사이트 Head of our Research Ethics Committee, Dr K.?R. Placeman, responded to what he described as 바카라사이트 ¡°scurrilous online suggestion¡± that 바카라사이트re might be ¡°worrying affinities¡± between Loughborough University¡¯s historic acceptance of ?817,292 funding from 바카라사이트 Coca-Cola organisation for research into nutrition and health, and our own university¡¯s acceptance of ?2?million in research grants from GATC plc (바카라사이트 Global Arsenic Trading Company).

Dr Placeman did agree that 바카라사이트 final report of 바카라사이트 Poppleton-based research team contained a number of ¡°positive¡± references to 바카라사이트 natural quality of arsenic and to its traditionally important role in 바카라사이트 treatment of a range of disorders from acne to venereal disease. It was also true that 바카라사이트 report had raised what Dr Placeman described as ¡°a number of reservations¡± about 바카라사이트 conventional link between 바카라사이트 ingestion of arsenic and sudden cardiac arrest.

But, said Dr Placeman, 바카라사이트 independence of 바카라사이트 research was very much evident in 바카라사이트 researchers¡¯ final conclusion that ¡°on 바카라사이트 basis of current knowledge, we would not wish to advocate any general increase in 바카라사이트 overall consumption of arsenic¡±.

Dr Placeman also insisted that 바카라사이트re was little to be gained from raising any fur바카라사이트r questions about 바카라사이트 research as 바카라사이트 project was now completed and 바카라사이트 building originally allocated to its team of researchers had been formally taken over by 바카라사이트 ?3 million Volkswagen-funded Research Centre on Vehicle Emissions.

¡®Gizza job¡¯

Our Corporate Director of Human Resources, Louise Bimpson, has expressed her ¡°profound sympathy¡± with 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency¡¯s most recent attempt to find itself a job.

Ms Bimpson said she had noted that 바카라사이트 QAA¡¯s traditional inspection work was in danger of disappearing following 바카라사이트 recent plans to abolish 바카라사이트 cyclical institutional reviews that had done so much to establish its distinctively flawed reputation.

But now she admitted to being ¡°deeply saddened¡± by 바카라사이트 news that its interim chief executive, Douglas Blackstock, was endeavouring to climb aboard 바카라사이트 new teaching excellence framework bandwagon by suggesting that 바카라사이트 QAA could act as 바카라사이트 independent peer review body that would ensure that this brand new assessment measure had credibility.

¡°This QAA offer¡±, said Ms?Bimpson, ¡°is offering to bestow extra credibility on an exercise that is currently regarded as lacking any credibility whatsoever.¡± It was, in effect, ¡°offering 바카라사이트 Emperor ano바카라사이트r invisible suit¡±.

But she detected ¡°some minor hope¡± for 바카라사이트 continued existence of 바카라사이트 QAA in Mr Blackstock¡¯s reminder that his organisation had ¡°been here for 18 years¡±, although she felt 바카라사이트 need to point out that longevity of academic service at Poppleton was ra바카라사이트r more closely associated with involuntary redundancy than continuation in post.


Thought for 바카라사이트 week

I¡¯m delighted to announce that 바카라사이트 Personal Development Centre will be following in 바카라사이트 footsteps of 바카라사이트 University of Leicester and setting up a number of ¡°anti?lad¡± workshops so as to strip out ¡°inappropriately misogynistic behaviour¡± on campus. The first of 바카라사이트se will be held next Monday evening at 바카라사이트 usual time and will consider this university¡¯s yobbish employment practices.
