Part of a set of 4.
They show the dominant themes and associated concepts for the Labour Party and Conservative Party Manifesto’s for 2010.
In order to read the maps you need to read the following;
Using Leximancer, the maps of the themes cluster via concept co-occurrence information so that concepts that sit next to each other have connections between them. To begin I processed all texts from start to finish of the Leximancer analysis in the default settings mode to create initial exploratory maps In the settings phase the Automatic Concept Detection is on.
All maps generated were set to the following parameters; concept size 100%, theme size 30% (default setting) and degree of rotation 0%. The colours of the circles, themes and concepts are ‘heat mapped’, so the concepts that have the greater level of co-occurrence are closer to the red end of the spectrum. The brightness of a concept correlates with its frequency and so the brighter the concept the more often it appears in the text. The brightness of the links that run between concepts relates to how often the two connected concepts co-occur within the text. The proximity of two concepts indicates how often or not they appear in similar conceptual contexts. The themes are the coloured circles around clusters of concepts. The lines or pathways navigate the most likely path in conceptual space between concepts in order to aid reading the map. The connectivity score reflects the degree, (equivalent to degree score in network analysis) to which the theme is connected to the other concepts in the map (Leximancer Manual, 2009).

In 1921 , the woman who was to become the powerful editor and publisher of the Washington Times-Herald was traveling to Europe under her married name Eleanor Patterson Gizycka.
“Eleanor Josephine Medill "Cissy" Patterson (November 7, 1884 – July 24, 1948)[was an American journalist and newspaper editor, publisher and owner. Patterson was one of the first women to head a major daily newspaper, the Washington Times-Herald in Washington, D.C..
Elinor Josephine Medill Patterson was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Robert and Elinor "Nellie" (Medill) Patterson. She would change the spelling of her first name to "Eleanor" as an adult, but would always be known as "Cissy," the name her brother gave her in childhood…
She was educated at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut. When her uncle Robert S. McCormick was named ambassador to Austria-Hungary, she accompanied him and his wife, Cissy's maternal aunt Kate, to Vienna. There she met Count Josef Gizycki and fell in love with him, a romance not interrupted even by her return to America, where she lived in Washington, D.C.. … Count Gizycki came to America and they were married in Washington on April 14, 1904 despite the objections of her family, which later proved well-founded.
A daughter was born to them September 3, 1905, and was named Leonora Felicia (1905–1999). Cissy went with the Count to his home, a huge feudal manor in Russian Poland. Their family life did not go well. According to some accounts, the Count was an inveterate gambler and womanizer, violent with his servants, and eventually violent with Cissy. … She fled with their child, hiding her in a house near London, but the Count pursued her and kidnapped the little Countess, hiding her in an Austrian convent while demanding a million dollars in ransom. Cissy filed for divorce, which took thirteen years to obtain. President William Howard Taft and Czar Nicholas II were personally involved in the 18-month effort to secure the release of Felicia. The Czar ordered the Count to return the child to her mother. Gizycki was imprisoned, and reportedly never contacted Cissy or their daughter.
After her experience abroad, she moved to Lake Forest, Illinois, a Chicago suburb, but she returned to Washington in 1913. In 1920, her brother Joseph finally succumbed to his sister's entreaties and allowed her to write for his New York Daily News, founded the previous year. She also worked for William Randolph Hearst. …
Patterson tried to buy Hearst's two Washington papers, the morning Washington Herald and the evening Washington Times. … Although he had never made money from his Washington papers, he refused to give up the prestige of owning papers in the capital. However, at the urging of his editor Arthur Brisbane, Hearst agreed to make Patterson the papers' editor. She began work on August 1, 1930. Patterson was a hands-on editor who insisted on the best of everything—writing, layout, typographic, graphics, comics, everything. She encouraged society reporting and the women's page and hired many women as reporters including Adela Rogers St. Johns and Martha Blair. In 1936, she was invited to join the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
Patterson made her paper popular with all strata of Washington society and doubled its circulation. She also shifted the papers' editorial stance sharply to the right.
In 1937, Hearst's finances had gotten worse and he agreed to lease the Herald and the Times to Patterson with an option to buy. …Instead, she bought both papers from Hearst on January 28, 1939, and merged them as the Times-Herald.
Along with her brother at the New York Daily News and her cousin at the Chicago Tribune, Patterson was an unyielding conservative. She was an ardent isolationist and opponent of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1942, after the Battle of Midway, the Times-Herald ran a Tribune story that revealed American intelligence was reading the Japanese naval code. Roosevelt, furious, had the Tribune and the Times-Herald indicted for espionage but backed down because of the publicity, charges he was persecuting his enemies, and the likelihood of an acquittal (since the Navy's own censors had twice cleared the story before it was published). During World War II, she and her brother were accused by their enemies of being Nazi sympathizers. Representative Elmer Holland of Pennsylvania on the floor of the United States House of Representatives said the Pattersons "would welcome the victory of Hitler."”

Conservative Shadow Minister for Health Andrew Lansley MP, a senior member of David Cameron’s front bench team, this week visited the George Eliot Hospital accompanied by local Tory candidates Dan Byles and Marcus Jones.
They invited him to see for himself the superb job done by staff and management at the hospital in recent years, including a tour of the Special Care Baby Unit, and the innovative way in which staff are now dealing with suspected stroke patients.
Mr Lansley met with Chief Executive Sharon Beamish and Trust Chairman Stuart Annan as well as senior managers and nurses, and was given a tour of a number of key departments, including an explanation of an innovative new approach being trialled by the stroke unit.
The George Eliot has been piloting a new scheme to treat stoke patients. The service sees all patients arriving by ambulance between 9am-5pm, suffering from a suspected stroke, being taken directly on to the Felix Holt Stroke Unit rather than going through Accident and Emergency as was originally the case. This allows for intensive specialist support for these patients to start immediately leading to a better clinical outcome.
This initiative is currently in a pilot stage and if successful, the Trust will look to extend the service to cover patients arriving at the Trust with a suspected stroke at any time of the day or night.
Mr Lansley was impressed by the hard work done at the Trust, and praised staff for their efforts. Speaking after the visit, he said: "I was glad to have the opportunity to visit the George Eliot Hospital.
"The NHS is a top priority for the Conservative Party. We know that we need to support hospitals like the George Eliot, which are seeking to maintain local access to good quality services.
"In particular I was very pleased to meet staff in the specialist baby unit and the stroke unity. Both demonstrated that high standards of care can be maintained in District General Hospitals."
Dan Byles and Marcus Jones, the Parliamentary Candidates for North Warwickshire & Bedworth and for Nuneaton, have strongly supported the George Eliot, and the principle of maintaining a local District General Hospital providing a full range of secondary care. Marcus Jones was recently appointed as the borough council's representative on the hospitals trust board.
Dan Byles, who serves on the Board of a West Midlands NHS Trust and whose wife once worked at the George Eliot as part of her medical training, said: “I am delighted that Andrew could come to see for himself the innovative work being done at the George Eliot. The Trust has done a superb job in recent years in pulling back from what was a worrying financial situation just a few years ago.
“I gave the Trust a hard time then, and made it clear that I didn’t want to see services cut as a result of the deficit. I am very pleased with the direction the Board has since taken the hospital, and it is clear that strong leadership and good management has succeeded in turning things around and ensuring that the George Eliot is now well placed to continue providing excellent services to local people. It is vital that we maintain the George Eliot as a fully functioning District General Hospital providing the full range of services.”
Marcus Jones, who holds fond memories of the hospital where he witnessed the birth of his son Oliver, said: "It was great to welcome Andrew to the Eliot. During our visit it was noticeable that he was impressed with the enthusiasm and depth of knowledge shown by the nursing staff who explained the vital work that they do on the special care baby and stroke units.
"The last few years have seen un-certain times at the hospital with the acute services review, infection rates and budget deficit. I am pleased to see that under the leadership of the current management team the hospital is improving well. The improvement must be maintained, the hospital must keep evolving and improving and I was very pleased to hear Andrew Lansley reaffirm the Conservatives commitment to district general hospitals which can only be positive for our hospital should the conservatives win the next election"
