O!polis Secure Mail Service E-Mail Security - Why Opolis?

Whilst with traditional E-Mail applications a sender has lost all control over a message the moment it is sent, with Opolis the sender is empowered to protect, control and monitor all sent messages. As Opolis treats all messages as confidential, the sender decides what the recipient is allowed to do with it such as whether the recipient can copy, forward or print it. A sent message can never be amended or manipulated. And, the sender can constantly monitor the status of a message and - if permitted - how the recipient has further processed the message. | source : www.opolis.eu

Revolts.co.uk

This is an academic research project looking at the way MPs and peers vote. It will be (or at least aims to be) useful for journalists, politicians, lobbyists, and members of the public interested in parliamentary behaviour.

We're interested in all votes, whipped and unwhipped and all parties. Our main interest - as the majority party in the Commons - is on Labour, but we're also interested in looking at the Conservatives and Lib Dems, as well as the minor parties.

We publish regular briefing papers analysing key events - such as the Foundation Hospitals rebellion or the revolts over top-up fees - as well as more detailed research papers. Over the last year our research has featured in most UK newspapers (including the Telegraph, Guardian, Independent and Times) as well as being used widely on TV and Radio (including Newsnight, The World Tonight, BBC News 24 and so on). | source : www.revolts.co.uk
