▁in ▁more ▁general ▁inclusion ▁work ▁such ▁as ▁delivering ▁anti - rac ist ▁education ▁in ▁schools ▁and ▁providing ▁volunte ering ▁opportunities ▁for ▁young ▁people . ▁ ▁It ▁is ▁also ▁a ▁founding ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁F ARE ▁( Foot ball ▁Against ▁R ac ism ▁in ▁Europe ) ▁network ▁of ▁anti - rac ist ▁organisations . ▁ ▁Football ing ▁work ▁Much ▁of ▁F UR D ' s ▁work ▁focuses ▁on ▁using ▁football ▁as ▁a ▁tool ▁for ▁social ▁change . ▁ ▁This ▁includes ▁using ▁football ing ▁initiatives ▁in ▁the ▁local ▁community , ▁international ▁events ▁and ▁affili ations ▁with ▁professional ▁clubs . ▁ ▁Co aching ▁F UR D ▁hosts ▁subs id ised ▁coaching ▁at ▁She ff ield ▁United ' s ▁Academy , ▁and ▁players ▁who ▁show ▁potential ▁are ▁referred ▁to ▁local ▁professional ▁teams . ▁It ▁was ▁F UR D ' s ▁coaches ▁who ▁recommended ▁Kyle ▁Walker ▁to ▁She ff ield ▁United ▁when ▁he ▁was ▁just ▁seven ▁years ▁old . ▁Walker ▁graduated ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁first ▁team ▁before ▁being ▁sold ▁to ▁Tot ten ham ▁Hot sp ur . ▁He ▁has ▁since ▁joined ▁A ston ▁Villa ▁on ▁loan ▁and ▁represented ▁England ▁Men ' s ▁team . ▁F UR D ▁also ▁offers ▁coaching ▁sessions ▁in ▁local ▁schools , ▁often ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁a ▁joint ▁package ▁with ▁an ▁educational ▁element . ▁ ▁F UR D ▁also ▁recogn ises ▁women ▁as ▁a ▁marginal ised ▁group ▁in ▁football ▁and ▁has ▁sought ▁to ▁create ▁women ' s ▁initiatives , ▁especially ▁to ▁appeal ▁to ▁those ▁from ▁ethnic ▁minor ities . ▁ ▁Students ▁at ▁The ▁University ▁of
▁She ff ield ▁conducted ▁a ▁survey ▁called ▁‘ Cross ing ▁the ▁Line ’ ▁which ▁demonstrated ▁the ▁young ▁girls ▁are ▁more ▁likely ▁to ▁be ▁put ▁off ▁from ▁joining ▁in ▁football ▁due ▁to ▁anx ieties ▁over ▁sex ism ▁rather ▁than ▁racism ▁or ▁cultural ▁factors . ▁ ▁Therefore , ▁F UR D ▁has ▁run ▁female - only ▁coaching ▁sessions ▁and ▁girls ’ ▁tour naments ▁have ▁been ▁a ▁regular ▁feature ▁at ▁the ▁annual ▁Community ▁Day ▁at ▁Br am all ▁Lane . ▁ ▁Tour naments ▁Small - s ided ▁tour naments ▁are ▁regularly ▁held ▁by ▁F UR D ▁in ▁a ▁variety ▁of ▁ven ues , ▁often ▁coinc iding ▁with ▁school ▁holidays . ▁One ▁of ▁the ▁most ▁prest igious ▁tour naments ▁is ▁held ▁at ▁She ff ield ▁United ' s ▁Community ▁Day ▁during ▁the ▁off - season . ▁ ▁F UR D ▁also ▁runs ▁the ▁annual ▁All ▁Nations ▁Tour nament ▁in ▁conj unction ▁with ▁She ff ield ▁and ▁Hall am shire ▁County ▁Football ▁Association ▁for ▁teams ▁of ▁refugees ▁and ▁as yl um ▁ ▁seek ers . ▁F UR D ▁also ▁hosted ▁K ick ▁It ▁Out ’ s ▁ 2 0 0 6 ▁Un ity ▁Cup , ▁a ▁national ▁tournament ▁for ▁refugees ▁and ▁as yl um ▁seek ers . ▁ ▁Street k ick ▁Street k ick ▁is ▁a ▁portable , ▁infl atable ▁mini ature ▁football ▁pitch ▁which ▁can ▁fit ▁into ▁the ▁back ▁of ▁a ▁van . ▁It ▁enjo ys ▁a ▁cult ▁status ▁and ▁is ▁one ▁of ▁F UR D ' s ▁more ▁recogn is able ▁and ▁high - profile ▁areas

▁is ▁def lected ▁by ▁astronom ical ▁seeing ▁on ▁the ▁way ▁up , ▁the ▁returning ▁laser ▁light ▁does ▁not ▁move ▁around ▁in ▁the ▁sky ▁as ▁astronom ical ▁sources ▁do . ▁In ▁order ▁to ▁keep ▁astronom ical ▁images ▁steady , ▁a ▁natural ▁star ▁nearby ▁in ▁the ▁sky ▁must ▁be ▁mon it ored ▁in ▁order ▁that ▁the ▁motion ▁of ▁the ▁laser ▁guide ▁star ▁can ▁be ▁sub tract ed ▁using ▁a ▁tip - til t ▁mirror . ▁However , ▁this ▁star ▁can ▁be ▁much ▁f ain ter ▁than ▁is ▁required ▁for ▁natural ▁guide ▁star ▁adapt ive ▁opt ics ▁because ▁it ▁is ▁used ▁to ▁measure ▁only ▁tip ▁and ▁tilt , ▁and ▁all ▁higher - order ▁dist ort ions ▁are ▁measured ▁with ▁the ▁laser ▁guide ▁star . ▁This ▁means ▁that ▁many ▁more ▁stars ▁are ▁suitable , ▁and ▁a ▁corresponding ly ▁larger ▁fraction ▁of ▁the ▁sky ▁is ▁accessible . ▁ ▁Types ▁ ▁There ▁are ▁two ▁main ▁types ▁of ▁laser ▁guide ▁star ▁system , ▁known ▁as ▁sod ium ▁and ▁Ray le igh ▁be acon ▁guide ▁stars . ▁ ▁S od ium ▁be ac ons ▁are ▁created ▁by ▁using ▁a ▁laser ▁tun ed ▁to ▁ 5 8 9 . 2 ▁nan om eters ▁to ▁energ ize ▁atoms ▁in ▁the ▁sod ium ▁layer ▁of ▁the ▁mes os phere ▁at ▁an ▁alt itude ▁of ▁around ▁. ▁The ▁sod ium ▁atoms ▁then ▁re - emit ▁the ▁laser ▁light , ▁producing ▁a ▁gl owing ▁artificial ▁star . ▁The ▁same ▁atomic ▁transition ▁of ▁sod ium ▁is ▁used ▁in ▁sod ium - v apor ▁l amps ▁for ▁street
▁lighting . ▁ ▁Ray le igh ▁be ac ons ▁rely ▁on ▁the ▁scattering ▁of ▁light ▁by ▁the ▁mole cules ▁in ▁the ▁lower ▁atmosphere . ▁In ▁contrast ▁to ▁sod ium ▁be ac ons , ▁Ray le igh ▁be ac ons ▁are ▁much ▁simpler ▁and ▁less ▁cost ly , ▁but ▁do ▁not ▁provide ▁as ▁good ▁a ▁wave front ▁reference , ▁since ▁the ▁artificial ▁be acon ▁is ▁generated ▁much ▁lower ▁in ▁the ▁atmosphere . ▁The ▁las ers ▁are ▁often ▁puls ed , ▁with ▁measurement ▁of ▁the ▁atmosphere ▁being ▁time - g ated ▁( t aking ▁place ▁several ▁micro seconds ▁after ▁the ▁pulse ▁has ▁been ▁launched , ▁so ▁that ▁scattered ▁light ▁at ▁ground ▁level ▁is ▁ignored ▁and ▁only ▁light ▁that ▁has ▁traveled ▁for ▁several ▁micro seconds ▁high ▁up ▁into ▁the ▁atmosphere ▁and ▁back ▁is ▁actually ▁detected ). ▁ ▁Las er ▁development ▁D ye ▁las ers ▁were ▁the ▁first ▁laser ▁sources ▁used ▁in ▁laser ▁guide ▁star ▁applications . ▁ ▁These ▁tun able ▁las ers ▁have ▁continued ▁to ▁play ▁a ▁significant ▁role ▁in ▁this ▁field . ▁However , ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁fluid ▁gain ▁media ▁has ▁been ▁considered ▁by ▁some ▁researchers ▁as ▁disadv antage ous . ▁Second ▁generation ▁laser ▁sources ▁for ▁sod ium ▁guide ▁star ▁applications ▁include ▁sum - frequency - m ixed ▁solid - state ▁las ers . ▁New ▁third ▁generation ▁laser ▁systems ▁based ▁on ▁tun able ▁di ode ▁las ers ▁with ▁subsequent ▁narrow - band ▁Ram an ▁fiber ▁ampl ification ▁and ▁reson ant ▁frequency ▁conversion ▁have ▁been ▁under ▁development ▁since ▁ 2 0 0 5 . ▁Since ▁

. ▁ ▁The ▁upgrade ▁to ▁four ▁las ers ▁with ▁fiber ▁Ram an ▁laser ▁technology ▁is ▁necessary ▁to ▁support ▁the ▁new ▁instruments ▁at ▁Par anal ▁Observ atory , ▁like ▁HA W K - I ▁( with ▁G RA AL ) ▁ ▁and ▁ ▁M USE ▁( with ▁G AL AC SI ). ▁Also ▁with ▁the ▁ 4 L GS F ▁the ▁stability ▁is ▁increased , ▁the ▁amount ▁of ▁prevent ative ▁maintenance ▁support ▁and ▁the ▁preparation ▁of ▁an ▁observ ing ▁run ▁time ▁will ▁be ▁considerably ▁reduced ▁compared ▁to ▁the ▁L GS F , ▁which ▁currently ▁uses ▁still ▁its ▁original ▁d ye ▁laser ▁( pl anned ▁to ▁be ▁replaced ▁by ▁a ▁fiber ▁laser ). ▁The ▁ 4 L GS F ▁helps ▁astronom ers ▁to ▁test ▁devices ▁for ▁the ▁E - EL T , ▁which ▁will ▁have ▁a ▁similar ▁system ▁to ▁support ▁the ▁adapt ive ▁opt ics ▁of ▁the ▁teles cope . ▁Given ▁its ▁power , ▁the ▁ 4 L GS F ▁operations ▁follow ▁a ▁protocol ▁to ▁avoid ▁any ▁risk . ▁The ▁laser ▁system ▁is ▁equipped ▁with ▁an ▁automatic ▁aircraft ▁avoid ance ▁system ▁that ▁sh uts ▁down ▁the ▁las ers ▁if ▁an ▁aircraft ▁vent ures ▁too ▁close ▁to ▁the ▁be ams . ▁ ▁For ▁sod ium ▁laser ▁guide ▁stars , ▁there ▁are ▁three ▁main ▁challenges ▁to ▁overcome : ▁L arm or ▁pre cess ion , ▁rec o il , ▁and ▁transition ▁sat uration . ▁L arm or ▁pre cess ion , ▁which ▁is ▁the ▁pre cess ion ▁of ▁the ▁sod ium ▁atom ▁in ▁the ▁ge om ag

▁the ▁vast ▁difference ▁between ▁their ▁stations ▁in ▁life . ▁The ▁only ▁time ▁Grace ▁ment ions ▁them ▁is ▁in ▁her ▁day bo oke . ▁ ▁Sh arp ▁and ▁clever , ▁Grace ▁always ▁sol ves ▁a ▁new ▁mystery ▁in ▁a ▁short ▁deadline ▁and ▁is ▁quietly ▁reward ed ▁by ▁the ▁Queen . ▁Grace ▁has ▁to ▁keep ▁her ▁investig ations ▁a ▁secret , ▁but ▁she ▁nearly ▁always ▁inform s ▁Mas ou ▁and ▁Ell ie , ▁and ▁they ▁are ▁her ▁trust y ▁friends ▁who ▁help ▁her ▁with ▁the ▁investig ations ▁when ▁she ▁needs ▁a ▁companion ▁and ▁they ▁sometimes ▁try ▁to ▁do ▁some ▁of ▁their ▁own ▁investigation ▁in ▁their ▁spare ▁time . ▁She ▁is ▁always ▁very ▁discre et ▁about ▁her ▁being ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁Lady ▁P urs u iv ant ▁and ▁her ▁adventures ▁are ▁closely ▁guard ed ▁secrets . ▁ ▁Grace ▁never ▁wants ▁to ▁get ▁married ▁as ▁she ▁wants ▁to ▁be ▁like ▁the ▁Queen ▁and ▁stay ▁at ▁the ▁Royal ▁Court ▁as ▁long ▁as ▁she ▁wishes ▁to . ▁However , ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁book ▁( Ass ass in ) ▁she ▁has ▁three ▁suit ors , ▁Lord ▁Robert , ▁Sir ▁Ger ald ▁and ▁her ▁horse ▁riding ▁instructor ▁Sir ▁Charles . ▁Fortunately , ▁she ▁does ▁not ▁have ▁to ▁marry ▁one ▁of ▁them ▁after ▁a ▁murder ▁case ▁when ▁Sir ▁Ger ald ▁is ▁found ▁dead ▁with ▁a ▁knife ▁in ▁his ▁back ▁and ▁Lord ▁Robert ▁is ▁under ▁suspicion . ▁ ▁Ever ▁since ▁the ▁death ▁of ▁her ▁beloved ▁mother , ▁Lady ▁Margaret ▁Cav end ish , ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁Ma ids ▁of ▁Hon

▁woman ▁Ol wen . ▁Mas ou ▁is ▁from ▁Africa ▁and ▁never ▁knew ▁his ▁mother , ▁who ▁died ▁at ▁his ▁birth . ▁His ▁father ▁died ▁of ▁consumption ▁after ▁arriving ▁in ▁England ▁when ▁he ▁was ▁very ▁young . ▁He ▁is ▁cheek y , ▁fun ▁and ▁bo ast ful ▁about ▁his ▁skills . ▁He ▁is ▁especially ▁good ▁at ▁jug gling ▁with ▁fire . ▁In ▁the ▁third ▁book , ▁Con spir acy , ▁Mas ou ▁looks ▁after ▁Gy psy ▁Pete ▁when ▁he ▁was ▁hurt ▁by ▁a ▁fire work . ▁He ▁likes ▁to ▁try ▁and ▁sc are ▁the ▁girls ▁and ▁in ▁Ha unted , ▁Grace ▁says ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁first ▁time ▁she ▁has ▁seen ▁him ▁speech less ▁( when ▁he ▁is ▁granted ▁the ▁honor ▁of ▁Court ▁F ool , ▁and ▁quickly ▁becomes ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁favourite ). ▁ ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁Bart el my ▁ ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁Bart el my ▁is ▁one ▁of ▁Grace ' s ▁fellow ▁Ma ids ▁of ▁Hon our ▁and ▁shares ▁a ▁bed ch amber ▁with ▁Grace . ▁She ▁is ▁two ▁years ▁older ▁than ▁Grace ▁and ▁is ▁a ▁l ively ▁and ▁fl irt at ious ▁girl . ▁She ▁is ▁exceed ingly ▁pick y ▁over ▁her ▁makeup ▁and ▁hair ▁and ▁drives ▁her ▁chamber ma ids ▁mad ▁with ▁her ▁constant ▁f uss ing ▁over ▁pear ls ▁and ▁hair ▁arrangements . ▁She ▁is ▁the ▁wealth iest ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁Ma ids ▁of ▁Hon our ▁and ▁sp ends ▁a ▁month ▁wearing ▁every ▁gown ▁before ▁begg ing ▁for ▁a ▁new ▁one . ▁ ▁Not ▁much ▁is ▁known ▁about ▁Lady ▁Sarah
' s ▁past , ▁childhood ▁or ▁family ▁except ▁that ▁she ▁is ▁an ▁exceed ingly ▁wealthy ▁young ▁he i ress ▁and ▁her ▁family ▁owns ▁a ▁large ▁estate ▁called ▁Bart el my ▁House ▁a ▁hundred ▁miles ▁away ▁from ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁residence . ▁▁ ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁is ▁very ▁pretty , ▁with ▁becoming ▁copper ▁col oured ▁locks ▁and ▁a ▁large ▁bos om . ▁She ▁is ▁the ▁poor ▁M aid ▁of ▁Hon our ▁who ▁has ▁to ▁sit ▁for ▁hours ▁on ▁end ▁while ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁artist ▁pain ts ▁her ▁because ▁Queen ▁Elizabeth ▁has ▁no ▁time ▁to ▁spare . ▁She ▁also ▁pret ends ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁Queen ▁at ▁a ▁mas que ▁where ▁the ▁Queen ▁plays ▁a ▁c unning ▁pr ank ▁on ▁her ▁court iers . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁second ▁book , ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁and ▁her ▁t iring ▁woman ▁Ol wen ▁are ▁captured ▁by ▁Captain ▁Der by . ▁ ▁Lady ▁Sarah ' s ▁enemy ▁at ▁Court ▁is ▁her ▁fellow ▁M aid ▁of ▁Hon our ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁Con ings by . ▁In ▁De ception ▁Sarah ▁creates ▁a ▁rude ▁rh yme ▁mock ing ▁Lady ▁Jane ' s ▁lack ▁of ▁sk ating ▁technique , ▁which ▁she ▁s ings ▁in ▁front ▁of ▁six ▁young ▁gentle men , ▁a ▁large ▁congreg ation ▁and ▁Lady ▁Jane . ▁Grace ▁writes ▁it ▁down ▁in ▁her ▁day bo oke . ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁then ▁s ings ▁one ▁back ▁about ▁three ▁large ▁spots ▁( interpret ative ▁the ▁' three ▁blind ▁m ice '), ▁staring ▁at ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁whilst ▁singing ▁it . ▁They ▁constantly ▁vie ▁each ▁other ▁for ▁the
▁most ▁men ▁following ▁them ▁ ▁After ▁the ▁t enth ▁book , ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁is ▁being ▁w oo ed ▁by ▁a ▁Gent le man ▁of ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁named ▁Daniel ▁Che shire . ▁He ▁writes ▁love ▁poetry ▁for ▁her , ▁which ▁she ▁receives ▁very ▁happily , ▁and ▁by ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁tw elf th ▁book ▁they ▁are ▁hand - fast ed ▁to ▁wed . ▁They ▁are ▁extremely ▁happy ▁together . ▁ ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁Con ings by ▁ ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁Con ings by ▁is ▁a ▁new ▁M aid ▁of ▁Hon our ▁at ▁White hall ▁Palace ▁who ▁took ▁the ▁place ▁of ▁a ▁ban ished ▁M aid ▁of ▁Hon our , ▁Kath ar ine ▁Bro ke , ▁who ▁was ▁sent ▁home ▁in ▁dis gr ace ▁after ▁a ▁scandal ▁with ▁the ▁Duke ▁of ▁N ork folk ' s ▁young ▁nep hew . ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁is ▁not ▁the ▁most ▁popular ▁amongst ▁the ▁other ▁Ma ids ▁of ▁Hon our . ▁ ▁Lady ▁Jane ' s ▁number ▁one ▁enemy ▁at ▁Court ▁is ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁Bart el my , ▁her ▁fellow ▁M aid ▁of ▁Hon our . ▁They ▁both ▁desp ise ▁each ▁other . ▁Since ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁lately ▁came ▁to ▁Court , ▁she ▁has ▁had ▁countless ▁squ ab bles ▁with ▁arrog ant ▁Lady ▁Sarah . ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁desp ises ▁Lady ▁Sarah , ▁and ▁fights ▁with ▁her ▁almost ▁constantly . ▁She ▁is ▁always ▁searching ▁for ▁ways ▁to ▁out do ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁in ▁gaining ▁the ▁attention ▁of ▁the ▁young ▁gentle men . ▁ ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁is ▁very ▁pretty , ▁as ▁is ▁her ▁rival
▁Sarah ▁Bart el my . ▁Jane ▁has ▁an ▁exceed ingly ▁tall ▁elegant ▁figure ▁and ▁long , ▁carefully ▁styled ▁bl onde ▁ring lets ▁' fo aming ▁down ▁her ▁back ', ▁as ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁da fter ▁court ▁gentle men ▁wrote ▁in ▁a ▁poem . ▁ ▁Her ▁father ▁was ▁the ▁amb assador ▁to ▁the ▁French ▁Court ▁at ▁one ▁time , ▁so ▁she ▁gives ▁herself ▁fancy ▁air s ▁and ▁gr aces . ▁Jane ▁often ▁uses ▁her ▁el o qu ently ▁superior ▁way ▁of ▁public ▁speaking ▁to ▁de mean ▁her ▁rival ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁and ▁update ▁herself ▁as ▁supposed ly ▁the ▁most ▁beautiful ▁and ▁attractive ▁of ▁all ▁the ▁Ma ids ▁at ▁Court . ▁ ▁Jane ▁also ▁thinks ▁she ▁knows ▁more ▁about ▁fashion ▁than ▁anyone ▁else ▁because ▁the ▁French ▁Court ▁was ▁so ▁fashion able ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁her ▁father ▁was ▁amb assador ▁and ▁we ars ▁a ▁lot ▁of ▁French - style ▁app arel . ▁She ▁is ▁very ▁jump y ▁about ▁her ▁clothes ▁and ▁her ▁reputation ▁for ▁her ▁beauty . ▁Every ▁other ▁M aid ▁of ▁Hon our ▁is ▁very ▁fed ▁up ▁of ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁and ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁quar rell ing . ▁ ▁Like ▁many ▁other ▁Ma ids ▁of ▁Hon our ▁and ▁Lad ies ▁in ▁Wait ing ▁at ▁the ▁Court ▁of ▁Queen ▁Elizabeth ▁I , ▁Jane ' s ▁dreams ▁are ▁to ▁find ▁a ▁man ▁of ▁money ▁and ▁rank ▁to ▁marry . ▁She ▁has ▁a ▁love ▁of ▁fl ir ting , ▁and ▁uses ▁her ▁reputation ▁of ▁ultimate ▁beauty ▁to ▁prop el ▁and ▁strengthen ▁that ▁love . ▁ ▁In ▁Bet ray al ,
▁Lady ▁Jane ▁is ▁jealous ▁of ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁because ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁attract s ▁two ▁pir at ical ▁but ▁nevertheless ▁gall ant , ▁fl irt at ious , ▁generous , ▁handsome , ▁d ashing ▁young ▁sea ▁capt ains ▁to ▁her ▁beauty ▁and ▁wealth ▁on ▁a ▁visit ▁to ▁T ill bury ▁D ocks ▁while ▁Jane ▁herself , ▁who ▁constantly ▁considers ▁herself ▁ultimately ▁beautiful , ▁is ▁posit ively ▁ignored , ▁even ▁when ▁she ▁deliberately ▁steps ▁into ▁a ▁mud dy ▁p udd le ▁wearing ▁her ▁best ▁shoes , ▁simply ▁in ▁the ▁hope ▁of ▁attract ing ▁a ▁little ▁attention ▁from ▁Captain ▁D rake ▁and ▁Captain ▁Der by . ▁ ▁Jane ▁is ▁very ▁attractive ▁and ▁has ▁a ▁little ▁group ▁of ▁young ▁court iers ▁following ▁her , ▁wherever ▁she ▁goes . ▁Jane ▁constantly ▁compl ains ▁that ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁has ▁all ▁the ▁gentle men ▁to ▁herself , ▁but ▁despite ▁her ▁stead fast ▁complaints , ▁she ▁does ▁know ▁that ▁men ▁of ▁the ▁Court ▁go ▁posit ively ▁mo ony ▁over ▁her ▁for ▁a ▁range ▁of ▁different ▁reasons : ▁her ▁fl irt at ious ▁manner , ▁her ▁beauty , ▁and ▁her ▁wealth , ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁she ▁is ▁an ▁he i ress , ▁that ▁she ▁is ▁exceed ingly ▁well - born , ▁and ▁that ▁she ▁has ▁wealthy ▁parents . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁ 1 2 th ▁book , ▁L oot , ▁before ▁the ▁celebr ations ▁for ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁ 1 2 th ▁year ▁on ▁the ▁throne , ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁and ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁have ▁a ▁fight ▁over ▁who ▁gets ▁to ▁wear ▁a ▁crim son
▁vel vet ▁dress . ▁They ▁have ▁a ▁tug ▁of ▁war , ▁suggested ▁by ▁Lady ▁Sarah , ▁over ▁it ▁which ▁results ▁in ▁Lady ▁Jane ▁ri pping ▁the ▁dress ▁in ▁half . ▁ ▁Mary ▁Shel ton ▁ ▁Mary ▁Shel ton ▁is ▁a ▁ ▁M aid ▁of ▁Hon our ▁at ▁the ▁Court . ▁She ▁has ▁been ▁very ▁kind ▁to ▁Lady ▁Grace ▁since ▁Grace ' s ▁mother ▁died . ▁When ▁Ell ie ▁is ▁sick ▁with ▁qu ins y ▁and ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁appears ▁to ▁have ▁run ▁off ▁with ▁a ▁pir at ical ▁sea ▁captain , ▁Mary ▁stays ▁at ▁White hall ▁and ▁nurses ▁Ell ie . ▁Meanwhile , ▁Grace ▁is ▁away ▁at ▁sea ▁with ▁her ▁hair ▁cut ▁short , ▁pret ending ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁boy . ▁ ▁Mary ▁is ▁not ▁entirely ▁cl uel ess ▁about ▁Grace ' s ▁secret ▁role ▁at ▁White hall ▁Palace ▁as ▁Lady ▁P urs u iv ant , ▁and ▁is ▁Grace ' s ▁side k ick ▁when ▁necessary . ▁However , ▁she ▁never ▁questions ▁Grace ' s ▁activities . ▁ ▁Mary ▁is ▁quiet , ▁loving , ▁gentle ▁and ▁friendly . ▁She ▁loves ▁to ▁g ossip ▁and ▁h ates ▁climbing ▁trees ▁and ▁walking ▁the ▁dogs . ▁She ▁doesn ' t ▁like ▁m ice . ▁As ▁Grace ▁quotes ▁in ▁her ▁day bo oke , ▁ ▁" She ▁doesn ' t ▁like ▁m ice , ▁r ats ▁or ▁l iz ards , ▁or ▁any ▁small ▁sc utt ly ▁creature ▁for ▁that ▁matter , ▁but ▁at ▁least ▁she ▁has ▁some ▁sense ." ▁ ▁Mary ▁Shel ton ▁is ▁not ▁entitled
▁to ▁the ▁qual ifications ▁of ▁the ▁title ▁' L ady ', ▁but ▁she ▁was ▁well - born ▁enough ▁to ▁serve ▁the ▁Queen , ▁which ▁in ▁turn ▁gave ▁her ▁a ▁decent ▁position ▁at ▁Court ▁in ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁favour . ▁ ▁Mary ▁has ▁many ▁nie ces ▁and ▁nep he ws , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁lots ▁of ▁friends ▁and ▁relatives . ▁We ▁do ▁not ▁know ▁very ▁much ▁about ▁Mary ' s ▁possible ▁background , ▁but ▁we ▁think ▁her ▁mother ▁is ▁dead ▁and ▁she ▁is ▁possibly ▁an ▁or phan . ▁ ▁In ▁real ▁life ▁Mary ▁Shel ton ▁did ▁exist ▁and ▁after ▁a ▁while ▁became ▁the ▁Lady ▁of ▁the ▁Bed ch amber ▁to ▁Queen ▁Elizabeth ▁I , ▁a ▁great ▁honour . ▁ ▁She ▁was ▁well ▁known ▁for ▁being ▁irrit ating , ▁and ▁was ▁once ▁sl apped ▁across ▁the ▁cheek ▁by ▁the ▁Queen ▁herself , ▁a ▁happening ▁proven ▁by ▁historical ▁evidence ! ▁ ▁Mr ▁Daniel ▁Che shire ▁ ▁Mr ▁Daniel ▁Che shire ▁is ▁Lady ▁Sarah ' s ▁su itor . ▁He ▁is ▁a ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁Gent le men ' s ▁Guard ▁at ▁Court ▁and ▁has ▁rank ▁and ▁wealth . ▁He ▁is ▁tall , ▁slim , ▁young ▁and ▁handsome ▁with ▁redd ish - bl onde ▁hair . ▁ ▁In ▁Book ▁ 1 0 , ▁J inx , ▁Lady ▁Sarah ▁is ▁badly ▁burned ▁in ▁a ▁fire , ▁but ▁Daniel ▁Che shire ▁remains ▁stead fast ▁and ▁ever ▁loyal ▁to ▁her , ▁bringing ▁tr ink ets , ▁gifts ▁and ▁love ▁poetry . ▁It ▁is ▁this ▁which ▁convin ces ▁Grace ▁that
▁Daniel ▁Che shire ▁is ▁a ▁truly ▁good ▁and ▁worthy ▁su itor . ▁ ▁They ▁are ▁in ▁love ▁by ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁Book ▁ 1 0 , ▁and ▁by ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁Book ▁ 1 2 ▁they ▁are ▁formally ▁hand fast ed ▁to ▁be ▁married . ▁ ▁Will ▁Som ers ▁Will ▁Som ers ▁is ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁fool ▁and ▁head ▁of ▁the ▁Queen ' s ▁trou pe . ▁He ▁is ▁Mas ou ' s ▁boss ▁and ▁Mas ou ▁often ▁makes ▁exc uses ▁to ▁him ▁so ▁that ▁he ▁can ▁discre et ly ▁slip ▁out ▁to ▁Grace . ▁ ▁Som ers ▁runs ▁the ▁trou pe ▁and ▁produces ▁acts ▁for ▁the ▁Queen ▁and ▁her ▁Court , ▁especially ▁at ▁large ▁fe asts . ▁He ▁and ▁his ▁trou pe ▁entertain ▁the ▁Queen ▁in ▁her ▁Pres ence ▁Chamber . ▁Will ▁Som ers ▁was ▁actually ▁a ▁real ▁person ▁and ▁he ▁was ▁Henry ▁VIII ' s ▁personal ▁' f ool ' ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁Elizabeth ▁ 1 st . ▁He ▁is ▁not ▁mentioned ▁too ▁much ▁in ▁the ▁books . ▁ ▁Mrs ▁Ch am per now ne ▁Mrs ▁Ch am per now ne ▁is ▁in ▁charge ▁of ▁the ▁Ma ids ▁of ▁Hon our . ▁She ▁is ▁strict ▁and ▁often ▁re prim ands ▁Grace ; ▁in ▁Ass ass in , ▁Grace ▁is ▁out ▁at ▁night ▁once , ▁and ▁Mrs . ▁Ch am per now ne ▁threat ens ▁to ▁sp ank , ▁or ▁" b ir ch " ▁Grace ! ▁However , ▁when ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁Ma ids ▁of ▁Hon our ▁is ▁ill ,

▁integration ▁of ▁new ▁technologies ▁and ▁organiz ational ▁innov ations , ▁was ▁developed ▁originally ▁from ▁a ▁collective ▁set ▁of ▁learning ▁workshops ▁and ▁included ▁a ▁large ▁number ▁of ▁people ▁including ▁Carl ▁R . ▁May , ▁Tr acy ▁Fin ch , ▁Elizabeth ▁Murray , ▁Anne ▁Rogers , ▁Catherine ▁Pope , ▁Anne ▁Kennedy , ▁Paul ine ▁O ng ▁and ▁others . ▁The ▁theory ▁emerged ▁from ▁a ▁programme ▁of ▁theory ▁building ▁by ▁May ▁and ▁a ▁range ▁of ▁academ ics ▁from ▁applied ▁social ▁science ▁to ▁medicine . ▁Through ▁three ▁iter ations , ▁the ▁theory ▁has ▁built ▁upon ▁the ▁normal ization ▁process ▁model ▁previously ▁developed ▁by ▁May ▁et ▁al . ▁to ▁explain ▁the ▁social ▁processes ▁that ▁lead ▁to ▁the ▁routine ▁embedding ▁of ▁innovative ▁health ▁technologies . ▁ ▁Content ▁Normal ization ▁process ▁theory ▁focuses ▁attention ▁on ▁agent ic ▁contributions ▁– ▁the ▁things ▁that ▁individuals ▁and ▁groups ▁do ▁to ▁operational ize ▁new ▁or ▁modified ▁modes ▁of ▁practice ▁as ▁they ▁interact ▁with ▁dynamic ▁elements ▁of ▁their ▁environments . ▁It ▁defines ▁the ▁implementation , ▁embedding , ▁and ▁integration ▁as ▁a ▁process ▁that ▁occurs ▁when ▁participants ▁deliberately ▁initi ate ▁and ▁seek ▁to ▁sustain ▁a ▁sequence ▁of ▁events ▁that ▁bring ▁it ▁into ▁operation . ▁The ▁dynamics ▁of ▁implementation ▁processes ▁are ▁complex , ▁but ▁normal ization ▁process ▁theory ▁facil it ates ▁understanding ▁by ▁focusing ▁attention ▁on ▁the ▁mechanisms ▁through ▁which ▁participants ▁invest ▁and ▁contribute ▁to ▁them . ▁It ▁reveals ▁ ▁" the ▁work ▁that ▁actors ▁do ▁as ▁they ▁engage ▁with ▁some ▁ensemble ▁of ▁activities ▁( that ▁may ▁include ▁new ▁or ▁changed ▁ways ▁of ▁thinking , ▁acting ,
▁and ▁organ izing ) ▁and ▁by ▁which ▁means ▁it ▁becomes ▁rout inely ▁embedded ▁in ▁the ▁matrices ▁of ▁already ▁existing , ▁soc ially ▁pattern ed , ▁knowledge ▁and ▁practices ". ▁ ▁These ▁have ▁explored ▁objects , ▁agents , ▁and ▁context s . ▁In ▁a ▁paper ▁published ▁under ▁a ▁creative ▁comm ons ▁license , ▁May ▁and ▁colleagues ▁describe ▁how , ▁since ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁N PT ▁has ▁under g one ▁three ▁iter ations . ▁ ▁Object s ▁The ▁first ▁iteration ▁of ▁the ▁theory ▁focused ▁attention ▁on ▁the ▁relationship ▁between ▁the ▁properties ▁of ▁a ▁complex ▁healthcare ▁intervention ▁and ▁the ▁collective ▁action ▁of ▁its ▁users . ▁Here , ▁agents ' ▁contributions ▁are ▁made ▁in ▁recip ro cal ▁relationship ▁with ▁the ▁emer gent ▁capability ▁that ▁they ▁find ▁in ▁the ▁objects ▁– ▁the ▁en semb les ▁of ▁behaviour al ▁and ▁cognitive ▁practices ▁– ▁that ▁they ▁en act . ▁These ▁soc io - material ▁capabilities ▁are ▁governed ▁by ▁the ▁possibilities ▁and ▁constraints ▁presented ▁by ▁objects , ▁and ▁the ▁extent ▁to ▁which ▁they ▁can ▁be ▁made ▁work able ▁and ▁integrated ▁in ▁practice ▁as ▁they ▁are ▁mobil ized . ▁ ▁Ag ents ▁The ▁second ▁iteration ▁of ▁the ▁theory ▁built ▁on ▁the ▁analysis ▁of ▁collective ▁action , ▁and ▁showed ▁how ▁this ▁was ▁linked ▁to ▁the ▁mechanisms ▁through ▁which ▁people ▁make ▁their ▁activities ▁meaningful ▁and ▁build ▁commit ments ▁to ▁them . ▁Here , ▁investments ▁of ▁social ▁structural ▁and ▁social ▁cognitive ▁resources ▁are ▁expressed ▁as ▁emer gent ▁contributions ▁to ▁social ▁action ▁through ▁a ▁set ▁of ▁gener ative ▁mechanisms : ▁co her ence
▁( what ▁people ▁do ▁to ▁make ▁sense ▁of ▁objects , ▁agency , ▁and ▁context s ); ▁cognitive ▁participation ▁( what ▁people ▁do ▁to ▁initi ate ▁and ▁be ▁en rolled ▁into ▁delivering ▁an ▁ensemble ▁of ▁practices ); ▁collective ▁action ▁( what ▁people ▁do ▁to ▁en act ▁those ▁practices ); ▁and ▁ref lex ive ▁monitoring ▁( what ▁people ▁do ▁to ▁app raise ▁the ▁consequences ▁of ▁their ▁contributions ). ▁These ▁construct s ▁are ▁the ▁core ▁of ▁the ▁theory , ▁and ▁provide ▁the ▁foundation ▁of ▁its ▁analyt ic ▁purchase ▁on ▁practice . ▁ ▁Context s ▁The ▁third ▁iteration ▁of ▁the ▁theory ▁developed ▁the ▁analysis ▁of ▁agent ic ▁contributions ▁by ▁offering ▁an ▁account ▁of ▁cent r ally ▁important ▁structural ▁and ▁cognitive ▁resources ▁on ▁which ▁agents ▁draw ▁as ▁they ▁take ▁action . ▁Here , ▁dynamic ▁elements ▁of ▁social ▁context s ▁are ▁experienced ▁by ▁agents ▁as ▁capacity ▁( the ▁social ▁structural ▁resources , ▁that ▁they ▁possess , ▁including ▁inform ational ▁and ▁material ▁resources , ▁and ▁social ▁norm s ▁and ▁roles ) ▁and ▁potential ▁( the ▁social ▁cognitive ▁resources ▁that ▁they ▁possess , ▁including ▁knowledge ▁and ▁beliefs , ▁and ▁individual ▁intentions ▁and ▁shared ▁commit ments ). ▁These ▁resources ▁are ▁mobil ized ▁by ▁agents ▁when ▁they ▁invest ▁in ▁the ▁en semb les ▁of ▁practices ▁that ▁are ▁the ▁objects ▁of ▁implementation . ▁ ▁Location ▁within ▁soci ological ▁theory ▁Normal ization ▁process ▁theory ▁is ▁regarded ▁as ▁a ▁middle ▁range ▁theory ▁that ▁is ▁located ▁within ▁the ▁' turn ▁to ▁material ity ' ▁in ▁ST S . ▁It ▁therefore ▁fits ▁well ▁with ▁the ▁case - stud
y ▁orient ed ▁approach ▁to ▁emp irical ▁investigation ▁used ▁in ▁ST S . ▁It ▁also ▁appears ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁straightforward ▁alternative ▁to ▁actor – network ▁theory ▁in ▁that ▁it ▁does ▁not ▁insist ▁on ▁the ▁agency ▁of ▁non - human ▁actors , ▁and ▁seeks ▁to ▁be ▁explan atory ▁rather ▁than ▁des cript ive . ▁However , ▁because ▁normal ization ▁process ▁theory ▁spec ifies ▁a ▁set ▁of ▁gener ative ▁mechanisms ▁that ▁emp irical ▁investigation ▁has ▁shown ▁to ▁be ▁relevant ▁to ▁implementation ▁and ▁integration ▁of ▁new ▁technologies , ▁it ▁can ▁also ▁be ▁used ▁in ▁larger ▁scale ▁structured ▁and ▁compar ative ▁studies . ▁Although ▁it ▁fits ▁well ▁with ▁the ▁interpret ive ▁approach ▁of ▁eth n ography ▁and ▁other ▁qual itative ▁research ▁methods , ▁it ▁also ▁l ends ▁itself ▁to ▁systematic ▁review ▁and ▁survey ▁research ▁methods . ▁As ▁a ▁middle ▁range ▁theory , ▁it ▁can ▁be ▁feder ated ▁with ▁other ▁theories ▁to ▁explain ▁emp irical ▁phen omena . ▁It ▁is ▁compatible ▁with ▁theories ▁of ▁the ▁transmission ▁and ▁organization ▁of ▁innov ations , ▁especially ▁diffusion ▁of ▁innov ations ▁theory , ▁labor ▁process ▁theory , ▁and ▁psychological ▁theories ▁including ▁the ▁theory ▁of ▁planned ▁behavior ▁and ▁social ▁learning ▁theory . ▁ ▁Re ferences ▁▁ ▁Category : S oci ological ▁theories ▁Category : Te chn ological ▁change ▁Category : S ci ence ▁and ▁technology ▁studies <0x0A> </s> ▁The ▁California ▁B icy cle ▁Coal ition ▁( Cal B ike ) ▁is ▁a ▁ 5 0 1 ( c )( 4 ) ▁ ▁non profit ▁organization ▁based ▁in ▁Sac r amento ▁and ▁Oak land
