  • 1 from Poetry to Politics: the Gifts and Talents of Michael Rosen Michael
    From Poetry to Politics: The Gifts and Talents of Michael Rosen Michael Rosen is a successful poet, author, radio broadcaster, playwright and speaker, with over a hundred books to his credit. Teachers and librarians across Canada have had the opportunity to meet Michael Rosen during his visits to Canada’s Children’s Literature Roundtable meetings and at various Canadian education conferences. Rosen delights audiences with his picture books for very young children (We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, 1989a), books for older children (You Wait Till I’m Older Than You!, 1997) ‘how-to’ guides (An A-Z Guide to Fatherhood: Goodies and Daddies, 1991), books for both children and adults (Shakespeare: His Work and His World, 2001), books for adults (Carrying the Elephant, 2002), and teacher resource books (Did I Hear You Write?, 1989b). Rosen spends a considerable amount of time in schools working with children, and in professional development sessions with teachers. The importance of his work in education lies in his belief that every child, no matter how young, comes to school with ‘knowledge,’ or as he would prefer to call it, ‘culture’ (Rosen, 1989b). It is a belief shared by many current educators and scholars (see Dyson, 2003). Rosen believes that most of a child’s culture is acquired though oral language and that writing is a way of preserving that oral culture, of reflecting on it, and of opening up conversations about it. As a result, he encourages teachers to access the culture of the children they teach, to capitalize on it, and to ask children to write about the things they know and have experienced.

  • Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision
    1 Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents 2014 Revision The Office of Health Care Quality is pleased to release the latest revision of the Diet Manual for Long-Term Care Residents. This manual is a premier publication—serving as a resource for providers, health care facilities, caregivers and families across the nation. In long-term care facilities, meeting nutritional requirements is not as easy as it sounds. It is important to provide a wide variety of food choices that satisfy each resident’s physical, ethnic, cultural, and social needs and preferences. These considerations could last for months or even years. Effective nutritional planning, as well as service of attractive, tasty, well-prepared food can greatly enhance the quality of life for long-term care residents. The Diet Manual for Long Term Care Residents was conceived and developed to provide guidance and assistance to nursing home personnel. It has also been used successfully in community health programs, chronic rehabilitation, and assisted living programs. It serves as a guide in prescribing diets, an aid in planning regular and therapeutic diet menus, and as a reference for developing recipes and preparing diets. The publication is not intended to be a nutrition-care manual or a substitute for individualized judgment of a qualified professional. Also included, is an appendix that contains valuable information to assess residents’ nutritional status. On behalf of the entire OHCQ agency, I would like to thank the nutrition experts who volunteered countless hours to produce this valuable tool. We also appreciate Beth Bremner and Cheryl Cook for typing the manual.

  • 1. Introduction
    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to Unilever Sri Lanka Unilever's association with the country, Ceylon at the time, began in the early 1900s with brands such as Sunlight, Lux and Pears Rose being available for sale in the local market. In 1927 imports and distribution was organised with the appointment of a sole agent Sankar Aiyars. In 1938, with the sales of Sunlight reaching 2000 tons and Lux reaching 200 tons Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited was incorporated. This was followed with the establishment of a soap factory in Grandpass Colombo in April 1940. Bakery fats and Margarine manufacture commenced in 1941 and in 1958 the company established its own selling and distribution organisation (Sankalana, 2009). Over the years the organisation expanded and the business activities of Unilever were managed through Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited, Lipton, Brooke Bond, Ceytea, Lever Aqua Products and Premier Foods. The organisation was restructured in 1991 to bring all legal entities under the umbrella of Unilever Ceylon. Since then the business was managed by two divisions namely Consumer Division and Tea Division. Since 1996, the consolidated business entity is known as Unilever Sri Lanka Limited (USL) with its head office and main food and home and personal care (HPC) factory in Grandpass, Colombo. This plant manufactures a large range of fast moving consumer goods such as toilet soaps, hard soaps, washing powders, shampoos, toothpaste and margarine. This site employs around 1270 permanent employees. Non soap detergent (NSD) plant, hard soap packing plant and the distribution centre are located at the Lindel industrial site in Sapugaskanda, about 15 km away from the Grandpass office.

  • What Does a Satellite Campaign Do? the Use of Momentum in Labour’S 2017 General Election Facebook Campaign
    What does a satellite campaign do? The use of Momentum in Labour’s 2017 General Election Facebook campaign Tristan Hothama aDepartment of Politics, Languages and International Studies, University of Bath, Bath, United Kingdom Correspondence address - Mr. Tristan Hotham, Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies, University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath, Somerset, BA2 7AY Tristan Hotham is a PhD candidate at the University of Bath. ***Working Paper*** Word Count: 15919 What does a satellite campaign do? The use of Momentum in Labour’s 2017 General Election Facebook campaign Abstract Satellite campaigns have been discussed as core parts of parties online campaigns. However, study is needed to understand the specifics of what satellite campaigns are, where they fit and how they are used as part of parties’ social media election campaigns. This article comparatively examines Facebook pages across the 2017 general election; Momentum, Labour Party page and Labour leader page information and participation content is comparatively investigated to understand what sets satellite campaigning apart. Findings show that Labour had generated a Facebook approach termed ‘Janus-faced campaigning’. Labour was using leader, party and satellite pages with diverse approaches to speak to different audiences, thus presenting different faces of the same party to the public. The party engaged in two core forms of approach. The 'traditional Facebook campaign' via the leader and party page, saw the party using core policy messages, open inclusive rhetoric and a focus on information over participation to campaign to the mass public. This approach was supported by what is termed the 'new methods Facebook campaign'. Here, satellite page Momentum focused equally on participation and information, using novel, partisan and divisive content, large amounts of leadership personalisation and humour, to activate a younger more partisan audience and get them campaigning online and offline.
