dyson’s latest investment involves the opening of a new research building at its campus in malmesbury , wiltshire . the building , nicknamed d9 , will house up to 450 engineers working on top - secret projects . these projects involve work on robotics and battery technology , two key new areas for the company . there are now 2 , 500 people working at the site out of 7 , 000 dyson employees globally .
dyson said : “it has been very much a europe - focused immigration system , not a global immigration system . a lot of people who want to be engineers come from india , china , and the far east . in pune [ india ] there are 40 , 000 engineers that come out of pune university every year , which is twice as many as the british [ engineers ] that come out of the whole of british universities . ”
despite his meteoric loss of power and prestige rhodes nonetheless continued his political activities . in mid 1896 the shona and ndebele people in southern rhodesia , present day zimbabwe , rose up against their colonial oppressors in a bid for freedom . rhodes personally travelled to the region to take charge of the colonial response . in his attacks on the ndebele and shona he was vindictive , resorting to a scorched earth policy and destroying all their villages and crops .
‘there is , i think , a general feeling that the natives are a distinct source of trouble and loss to the country . now , i take a different view . when i see the labour troubles that are occurring in the united states , and when i see the troubles that are going to occur with the english people in their own country on the social question and the labour question , i feel rather glad that the labour question here is connected with the native question . ’

in conceding mashonaland to the bsac lobengula had avoided going to war with the british and had kept his people alive , and much of his territory intact . but unfortunately he had only been able to delay the inevitable . with no gold was found in mashonaland , rhodes’ bsac was facing complete financial ruin . leander jameson suggested to rhodes that ‘getting matabeleland open would give us a tremendous life in shares and everything else’ . gaining the matabeleland territory would also play directly into rhodes megalomaniac vision of expanding the british empire across africa .

jane is very driven , which is obviously a big part of why she has been so successful in what she does , but that is one of those words that is often used about women in a negative way to imply that they are willing to step on other people to get what they want at any cost . that ' s not her at all . she is especially keen to support other women – she is happy to call herself a feminist , and i admire that , because there isn ' t enough of it around these days .
“this is going to sound wrong , but we don’t like experience , ” he explains in a rare interview at dyson’s headquarters . “experience can be inhibiting . i would rather have a naive , flexible , experimental , pioneering approach , because we want to do everything differently . it is a lot easier if people don’t come along – and this is going to sound slightly nasty – with baggage , and experience with how things are done . we want to find a new and better way of doing things . graduates are very good at doing that . ”
at the growing tree nursery we have large outside play areas which are separated for the different age ranges , with areas for bike riding and climbing frames with slides . these enable the children to enjoy a wide range of physical play . we also encourage other areas of learning development by having sand and water play , a play house and chalks to encourage some children that prefer indoor play to participate in the outdoor environment , thus ensuring that all children are given opportunities whilst taking into consideration them as individuals . the outside play areas are accessible directly from each of the nursery rooms allowing the children free - flow access , choosing where they want to play .
the aim of this area of learning is to teach the children about the world environment , the features of natural and man made materials , places and people around them . we have visits to the nursery from the local community , such as the fire brigade . we go to the library weekly and recycle the nursery paper . also by having projects , such as a butterfly house and tadpoles in the spring the children can see similarities , differences , patterns and change first hand . the children also take turns in helping look after the garden . growing flowers , vegetables , strawberries and in summer 2004 the children made a brick plant holder using real cement , bricks and tools .
once upon a time it wasn ' t an uncommon sight to see richard cycling around cambridge with a cask of beer on his back . after a while , his bike — and his back — started to complain and cycle deliveries ceased . until now . thanks to the good ( and mad ) people at urltoken we ' re at it again . first up was a leisurely trundle across the milton cycle bridge and down the banks of the cam to jesus college . the specially adapted bikes can carry firkins with ease ( though kilderkins are out of the question for the moment ) . now who lives at the top of a big hill and wants to buy some beer ? ? ?

the final blow any hopes that the ndebele might avoid war , came when jameson was able to convince the british government that lobengula had sent a massive impi of 7 000 men into mashonaland , who then gave jameson leave to engage in defensive tactics . there is no indication that the impi jamseon reported on had ever existed . lobengula himself , in a last appeal to the legal / rational system the british seemed to so fervently uphold , wrote to the british high commissioner saying , “every day i hear from you reports which are nothing but lies . i am tired of hearing nothing but lies . what impi of mine have your people seen and where do they come from ? i know nothing of them . ”

asked whether the economic uncertainty in the uk could hold dyson back from investing , he said : “i don’t want to be arrogant about this , but i don’t understand why people are uncertain . i think it is something put around . if you are a business , do you actually say , ‘i am not going to make a decision to invest in that factory or i am not going to make a decision to set up in europe because of this potential 3 % [ tax ] . ’ as a business , are you actually stopping and not investing because of that ? if you were , you would be mad because currency can move 10 % in a couple of days . a 3 % import duty is not something to worry about .
after much negotiation rudd was eventually able to get lobengula to sign a concession giving exclusive mining rights to the bsac in exchange for protection against the boere and neighbouring tribes . this concession became known as the rudd concession . lobengula’s young warriors were angry and inflamed and were itching to kill the white men who were entering their lands . lobengula however feared his people would be defeated if they attacked the whites , and so it is likely that he signed the rudd concession in the hopes of gaining british protection and thereby preventing a boer migration into his lands which would then incite his warriors to battle . for lobengula his options were essentially to either concede to the british or to the dutch . in the belief that he was protecting his interests he sided with the seemingly more lenient and liberal british . like so many documents signed by africans during the colonial period , the rudd concession was however not what it claimed to be , but rather became a justifying document for the colonisation of the ndebele and the shona .
