We Can Each Make a Difference in 2020
We Can Each Make a Difference in 2020 Kluwer Mediation Blog December 28, 2019 John Sturrock (Core Solutions Group) Please refer to this post as:John Sturrock, ‘We Can Each Make a Difference in 2020’, Kluwer Mediation Blog, December 28 2019, http://mediationblog.kluwerarbitration.com/2019/12/28/we-can-each-make-a-difference-in-2020/ One of the most enjoyable aspects of the festive season is receiving and reading books that one might not have come across otherwise. This year, I have been enjoying two quite contrasting works of literature. The first is a Manual for Spectrum Agents (Haynes Publishing) providing “detailed information about the Spectrum organisation”, based on the classic 1960’s Supermarionation television series, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. For those of us who grew up with Captain Scarlet (and its predecessor, Thunderbirds), produced by the visionary Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, it is hard to understate to remarkable effect these TV programmes, set 100 years into the future, had on our generation. The book brings it all back. It is a serious exercise in nostalgia. The book reminds us that the basic premise of the TV series was that, by 2068, peace and prosperity had been achieved for the majority of the world’s inhabitants, under the guidance and control of a World Government. A Treaty of Tranquility had been signed in 2046, banning acts of war and aggression between countries and binding them together to fight for one cause – the defence of the Earth. The Republic of Britain was an early dissenter, though it had signed by 2050 following the overthrow of its military dictatorship in 2047. -

Jonathan Bignell Television for children: problems of national specificity and globalisation In the developed nations of Europe, and in the USA, it has long been assumed that television should address children. Thus, notions of what ‘children’ are have been constructed, and children are routinely discussed as an audience category and as a market for programmes. -

Katie Mcgettigan, Stuart Mclachlan, Mclabbett Deputising for Absent Captain Mclevyn, Edmund Mckinson) and David Mcnapp Edited by David Knapp
LOO 2015 | Dick in a seasonal box Packet 5a Written by Amoebas (Katie McGettigan, Stuart McLachlan, McLabbett deputising for absent captain McLevyn, Edmund McKinson) and David McNapp Edited by David Knapp 1. One South Park musical number proposed performing this activity in San Diego. With \eating those expensive German biscuits" and \watching the Poker Channel", this activity is what Jeremy Usborne thinks people want to do all day. The Vapors have denied that this activity is the subject of their song \Turning Japanese". When Ted Stroehmann does this before a date it leads to Cameron Diaz confusing its results for hair gel in There's Something About Mary. For 10 points, name this activity that a 1999 film saw Jim do with an American Pie. ANSWER: masturbation [accept word forms and synonyms such as wanking, accept \Jackin' It in San Diego] 2. Animals featured in the music video for this song include three doberman pinschers, two horses, a deer, and the artist's own cat, Olivia Benson. Activities performed in that video include squeezing a red apple, painting and then defacing a portrait, standing on top of a horse and smashing up a vintage Shelby AC Cobra with a golf club. That evidence that this song's artist is \insane" is backed up by her \long list of ex-lovers", and that where \I love the players / you love the game". For ten points, name this second single from the album 1989, a work by Taylor Swift on the place where she'll \write your name"? ANSWER: \Blank Space" 3. -
'Went the Day of the Daleks Well?' an Investigation Into the Role Of
Tony Keen ‘Invasion narratives in British television Science Fiction’ ‘Went the Day of the Daleks well?’ An investigation into the role of invasion narratives in shaping 1950s and 1960s British television Science Fiction, as shown in Quater- mass, Doctor Who and UFO If the function of art is to hold a mirror up to society, then science fiction (sf), through the distorted reflection it offers, allows the examination of aspects of society that might otherwise be too uncomfortable to confront. This essay aims to look at how invasion narratives, stories concerned with the invasion of Britain from outside, shaped three British science fiction series, and how those series interro- gated the narratives. The series will primarily be examined through aesthetic and social ap- proaches. Particular areas to be explored include the embracing and subverting of common assumptions about Britain’s attitude to invasion, and the differing attitudes to the military displayed. Introduction As an island nation, the prospect of invasion has always occupied a prominent place in the British popular imagination. According to Sellar and Yeatman, the two memorable dates in history are 55 BC and 1066, the dates of the invasions of Julius Caesar and William the Con- queror.1 Subsequent events such as the Spanish Armada of 1588 are also well-known mo- ments in history. It is inevitable that the prospect of invasion should produce speculative literature. Some works appeared around the time of Napoleon’s threatened invasion of 1803,2 but ‘invasion literature’ as a literary genre emerged out of the growing market for novels and short-story magazines, and is generally considered to have begun with the appearance of George Tomp- kyns Chesney’s 1871 story ‘The Battle of Dorking’,3 a story of the German conquest of Eng- land, prompted by the German victory in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871.
