The Sidney Prize for Undergraduate Writing

The Sidney Prize is awarded to undergraduate writing in English that most nearly meets the high standards of originality and integrity set by the prize’s namesake. The prize is open to any type of undergraduate writing, regardless of subject matter or genre and may be a piece of creative work or a written essay, report or other document. The prize is named in honour of Sidney Cox, a distinguished professor of English who was known for his dedication to the teaching and study of language and literature.

The prize is worth £3,000 and will be presented at an awards ceremony to be held in March 2020. The winner will also be awarded a £1,500 scholarship towards the cost of attending the International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR), which will take place in Bristol in November 2021.

A former student and Junior Research Fellow at Sidney has won one of history’s most prestigious prizes for her book on royalist ideas in late-seventeenth century Scotland. Dr Clare Jackson has won the Society for the History of Technology’s 2018 Sidney Edelstein Prize for her book The Unreliable Nation: Hostile Nature and Technological Failure in Cold War America.

She is only the third person to have won this coveted award since it was established in 1994. Previous winners include the author of The Glass Cage, a novel that was turned into an award-winning film starring Liam Neeson. The book has also been adapted for the stage, with a production by the Royal Court Theatre in London starring Miranda Richardson and Mark Gatiss.

In addition to the prize money, the winning essay will be published in Overland. Two runners-up will receive a cash prize of $750 each, and their essays will be published in Overland in the Summer 2023 edition.

The Sidney Hillman Foundation has awarded 73 prizes since its inception in 1950. The annual prize program aims to honor and encourage investigative reporting, deep storytelling, and the search for truth in service of the common good. The Hillman Prizes have honored writers from the daily, weekly, and periodical press; authors; and those working in photojournalism and, more recently, on the web and in opinion and analysis.

Melanoma is a serious skin cancer that kills more Australians than breast and bowel cancer combined. The ACRF is leading efforts to improve early detection and diagnosis with the help of innovative technologies. Its multidisciplinary team is developing an Australia-first preventive melanoma screening program, drawing on AI-assisted 3D imaging, to support more than 18,000 people with melanoma each year.

The World’s Most Famous Casinos

A casino is a facility where people can gamble by playing games of chance. Casino games are usually conducted by a dealer and the house has a mathematical advantage, known as the house edge. This advantage is designed to ensure that the casino can make a profit even in the long run. Some casinos also offer a variety of entertainment choices, such as live events and dining. Casinos can be found in many countries, but some are more famous than others.

Casinos are often associated with luxury and glamour, and some have become a symbol of a city or region. The Monte Carlo Casino is a famous example of this, as it has been the site of high-profile gambling for over a century and has been featured in movies and television shows. Other casinos have become famous for their history or exclusivity. For instance, the Casino de Monte Carlo in Monaco is considered one of the world’s most luxurious casinos.

Whether it is the historic elegance of the Monte Carlo Casino or the modern opulence of the Marina Bay Sands, top casinos are known for providing a complete luxury experience. These casinos offer first-class service and a wide range of amenities, including Michelin-starred restaurants and designer shops. They also offer a variety of top-billed entertainment acts, from high-flying circus acts to the latest musician concerts topping Billboard charts.

It is hard to say when casinos first appeared, but they are believed to have existed in many different cultures and eras. They have been a part of human society for hundreds of years, and they continue to attract people from all over the world. Although some people argue that gambling is not a legitimate form of entertainment, most agree that it is a popular pastime and that there are some benefits to it.

While the majority of players are not looking for the highest winnings, there is always a small percentage that wants to win big. This is why it is important to know the odds of winning a certain game before you start playing. This information will help you make the right decisions when choosing which game to play.

The best way to learn about the odds of a particular casino is to visit its website and read its terms and conditions. The websites of the best casinos are well-written, and they provide clear explanations of how the games work. They also have helpful tips and advice for responsible gambling. In addition, the best casinos are certified by trusted regulatory bodies such as the Malta Gaming Authority and Curacao eGaming. This way, they can be trusted to provide fair and accurate information to their customers. Moreover, they must have secure payment methods and a good customer support system. This is important because if a casino fails to meet these requirements, it may lose its license. This can damage the reputation of the casino industry.
