Lee and Dean - a new page
Lee and Dean is a UK situation comedy series following the lives of Stevenage builders and childhood friends. Written by Mark O'Sullivan (Dean) and Miles Chapman (Lee) it was originally broadcast on Channel 4 between 2017 and 2019. The carpenter and electrician jointly own Dean and Lee Construction Solutions, operating a business model to attempt any kind of work and undercut their high-end competitors. They also spend their free time together pursuing a shared hobby of bark rubbing and brass rubbing. Lee, who is outgoing and confident, has a new girlfriend called Nikki and an ongoing liaison with Mrs Bryce-D'Souza, a wealthy client. Lee is caring but acutely awkward in social situations and can only fully express himself through his poetry. It is obvious that Dean loves Lee.

Genre
Lee and Dean is written in a docusoap style of reality TV, incorporating footage of unscripted situations and individual interviews in which the major characters provide context for those events.

Drafting new Translatathon article
A translatathon is an organised event where editors of online communities such as Wikipedia translate content from one language Wikipedia into another, usually on a particular theme. Typically they last between half a day and a day, and include basic editing and translation training for new editors. They often happen in person at meetups, but can be distributed as well. The word is a portmanteau of "translate" and "marathon".

Wikipedia translatathons
Wikipedia supports translation with a content translation tool.

Some groundwork in advance helps the event proceed smoothly. Translatathon organisers can contact their local Wikimedia chapter in advance. As well as lifting restrictions on the translation tool (if translating into English), the chapter may be able to identify volunteer Wikimedians to support planning and running the event. For example, creating a brief, simple template (a few lines of description of the event for participants to include on their User Page) signals to the Wikipedia community that an event is taking place. If the organiser is new to Wikipedia, volunteer Wikimedian may be available to induct new editors to creating accounts. The organiser can also suggest some particular pages for participants to translate.

The Wikipedia translation tool
If the destination language is English, then in order to use the translation tool organisers require a Wikipedia administrator to enable the translation tool on participants' accounts (this restriction was introduced to prevent the contribution of low quality machine translations). To use the Translation Tool, these pages should not already exist in the target language.

Impact

Impact of a Wikipedia translatathons can be identified in a number of ways. If a template has been used, it is possible to refer to the records of who has used the template, which gives an indication of who participated in an event and their collective contribution. Referring to the statistics. Another is the page views analysis

Drafting VLE article
A virtual learning environment (VLE) is a Web-based platform intended. VLEs characteristically: allow participants to be organised into cohorts, groups and roles; enable the presentation of resources, activities and interactions within a course structure; manage all stages of assessment; and provide reports of participation. For those who edit them VLEs have a de facto role as authoring and design environments.

educational technology (also called e-learning) education system based on the Web that models conventional in-person education by providing equivalent virtual access to classes, class content, tests, homework, grades, assessments, and other external resources such as academic or museum website links. It is also a social space where students and teacher can interact through threaded discussions or chat. It typically uses Web 2.0 tools for 2-way interaction, and includes a content management system.

VLEs are the basic components of contemporary distance learning, but can also be integrated with a physical learning environment which may be referred to as blended learning. Virtual learning can take place synchronously or asynchronously. In synchronous systems, participants meet in “real time”, and teachers conduct live classes in virtual classrooms. Students can communicate through a microphone, chat rights, or by writing on the board. In asynchronous learning, which is sometimes called “self-paced” learning, students are expected to complete lessons and assignments independently through the system. Asynchronous courses have deadlines just as synchronous courses do, but each student is learning at his own pace.

A VLE can include students and teachers “meeting” online through a synchronous web-based application. The teacher is able to present lessons through video, presentations, or chatting. The students are able to talk with other students and the teacher, as well as collaborate with each other, answer questions, or pose questions. They can use the tools available through the application to virtually raise their hand, send messages, or answer questions on the screen given by the teacher or student presenter.

Taking the lead - women at Michigan
This article is about the history of women as students and staff at Michigan Technological University from soon after its establishment in 1885 to the present day. It focuses on their presence, status and attitudes towards them.

Demographics
In 2011 the population of Redbridge was recorded at 278,970. In common with the other London boroughs this continues a period of growth; between the 1991 and 2001 censuses the increase was 7.5% with a further rise of 15.3% by 2011. Redbridge has the third highest proportion of children and a higher-than-average proportion of older adults while the proportion of working age adults is slightly lower than average. The population density was last recorded at 4,945 residents per km2(the London regional density is 5,199, far higher than the England and Wales figure of 371).

The healthy life expectancy (HLE) at birth for Redbridge residents stands at 65.5 years for males and 62.4 years for females (the England average HLE is 63.4 for males and 64.1 for females).

Redbridge is one of the most ethnically diverse local authorities in the UK. 34% of respondents to the 2011 census stated that they were born outside the UK and 65.5% identified as belonging to an ethnic group other than white British. . Redbridge's largest ethnic group is White British (34.5%), followed by Indian (16.4%), and Pakistani (Redbridge has the highest proportion of Pakistani residents of any London borough).

Ethnic and religious change
Ethnic and religious population mobility was typical of London boroughs at the time of the most recent 2011 census. Ethnic groups whose proportions fell in Redbridge were White British (-23% of the borough's total), Irish (-0.9%), and Caribbean (-0.6%). Ethnic groups whose proportions rose include Pakistani (+4.9%), other Asians (+4.4%), Bangladeshis (+3.9%), and other White (+2.9%). Religious groups whose proportions fell in Redbridge were Christian (-13.9%) and Jews (-2.5%). For Jews this represented a fall of over 50% of their number in some wards. Religious groups whose proportions rose include Muslims (+11.4%) followed by Hindu (+3.6%).

Educated 30-40 year old Asian residents of Redbridge who participated in a 2012 academic research project expressed nostalgia for an earlier Redbridge they described as more culturally diverse, by which they meant fewer British Asians. They referred to the inviting front gardens and quintessential 1930s house facades, since paved over and extended. This paradoxical treasuring of 'old Redbridge' by British Asian residents disrupts the view advanced by right wing populist commentators that a perceived decline in local circumstances should be attributed to a decline in the White Christian population (indeed one Redbridge gardener of particular local renown is British Asian ).
