The Best Horror Movies on Netflix. Featuring interviews with world-renowned scientists, each hour unfolds with a CSI- like forensic investigation into the life and death of a specific hominid ancestor. The programs were shot "in the trenches" where discoveries were unearthed throughout Africa and Europe. Dry bones spring back to life with stunning computer-generated animation and prosthetics. Fossils not only give us clues to what early hominids looked like, but, with the aid of ingenious new lab techniques, how they lived and how we became the creative, thinking humans of today. She only became a werewolf recently, and she finds it hard to accept her fate. After a full moon night Christa can not tell what she has done as a werewolf. She could have acted friendly or killed her whole family. That scares her very much. Christa is one of the best students of the whole school and is involved in a lot of social projects. After becoming a werewolf she gets worse in school and stays by herself. Actress Leila Mimmack describes Christa as a difficult moody teenager, who is scared of being a werewolf. At first, she is not happy about working together with Adam and Matt. Later however they help her find herself, as a werewolf as well as a teenager. Matt is a ghost. He has been murdered recently and is declared missing. Nobody knows who had murdered Matt, not even Matt himself. When he was still alive Matt was a loner, who was bullied. He has always been in love with Christa, who barely recognised him. As a ghost he can only be seen by supernatural creatures, like the vampire Adam and the werewolf Christa. Actor Josh Brown describes Matt as a very insecure boy. He is a loner who doesn't know what to do when he talks to somebody. Furthermore, he has been so much used to being ignored that he did not even realise that he had died and became a ghost. Adam and Christa are the first to talk to him, which makes Matt very happy. Brandy Mulligan is a pretty and popular student. She is the youngest child of the Crompton family. Many people are scared of this family. There are many rumours about them, but nobody knows which are true and which are false. Brandy's father Jerry is accused of grievous bodily harm. His victim is not able to speak and has a fractured jaw. However, people are afraid to testify against him. To not be associated to her family Brandy Crompton changed her name into Brandy Mulligan. Brandy does martial arts and has archived the black belt. Danny Curtis is a bully and a friend of Brandy. By bullying he hides his own insecurity. Danny's father left the family when Danny was still a baby. After this Danny's mother made Danny do some jobs to earn the money for the family. When Christa adds Danny's name to the list of the school's socials projects, like taking care of older people or gardening Danny's behavior begins to change. He becomes the pupil of the month. Mr Swan is a sports teacher. He doesn't like his students and bullies the students who are not good in his lessons. Mr Roe is teacher at the Rathborne High School. He is very insecure and is bullied by his students and Mr Swan. In addition diary entries by the characters, fictional newspaper articles e. They are between 20 seconds and 2 minutes long. The specials provide background information on the characters and have been published between the episodes. The last special The Return takes place after the end of the series. Banff Rockie Award :. However Becoming Human shows the problems from a different perspective, the perspective of teenagers. The series describe the difficulties in being an adolescent, the social stratification of school cliques and bullying at school. The writers handle these "very serious issues with a gentle touch and some deft, dark humor without ever making light of these serious issues. Altogether Becoming Human is a brilliant series with a high quality of writing. Furthermore, it has great main and supporting actors, who show authentic performances. Dan Owen explains, that Becoming Human is a high quality series. However it isn't as sexy, stylish, acerbic, and compelling as the British TV series Misfits. The series is made for a younger audience. Older viewers might not like the series as much as the younger ones. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Trivia The producers of the show felt that it would stretch the budget to the limit if they had to digitally remove Aidan Turner Mitchell 's reflection from everything that had a reflective surface, so they came up with the notion that vampires can only be invisible in objects with silver backings, such as mirrors and cameras.

Jean Vanier, a man I thoroughly respect, the founder of L'Arch, a community for the intellectually disabled. Such a thought-provoking book. I could not possibly say enough about it. Some quotes to give you a feel for Vanier's perspective on humanity: "I also believe that those we most often exclude from the normal life of society, people with disabilities, have profound lessons to teach us. When we do include them, they add richly to our lives and add immensely to our world. We all want to turn away from anything that reveals the failure, pain, sickness, and death beneath the brightly painted surface of our ordered lives. Civilization is, at least in part, about pretending that things are better than they are. We all want to be in a happy place, where everyone is nice and good and can fend for themselves. We shun our own weakness and the weakness in others. We refuse to listen to the cry of the needy. How easy it is to fall into the illusion of a beautiful world when we have lost trust in our capacity to make our broken world a place that can become more beautiful.

  • Drug Education and Its Publics in 1980S Britain
    International Journal of Drug Policy 88 (2021) 103029 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect International Journal of Drug Policy journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/drugpo Policy Analysis Just say know: Drug education and its publics in 1980s Britain Alex Mold Centre for History in Public Health, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, 15-17 Tavistock Place, London, WC1H 9SH, United Kingdom ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Until the 1980s, anti-drug education campaigns in the UK were rare. This article examines the reasons behind a Heroin policy shift that led to the introduction of mass media drug education in the mid 1980s. It focuses on two Drug education campaigns. ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ ran in England, and ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ ran in Scotland. The campaigns Health education were different in tone, with ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ making use of fear and ‘shock horror’ tactics, whereas History of drug use ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ attempted to deliver a more positive health message. ‘Heroin Screws You Up’ was criticised by many experts for its stigmatising approach. ‘Choose Life Not Drugs’ was more favourably received, but both campaigns ran into difficulties with the wider public. The messages of these campaigns were appro­ priated and deliberately subverted by some audiences. This historical policy analysis points towards a complex and nuanced relationship between drug education campaigns and their audiences, which raises wider questions about health education and its ‘publics’. In April 1986, the cast of teen TV soap, Grange Hill, released a song wanted to be seen to take action on drugs, leading to the introduction of titled ‘Just say no’.

Throughout this dissertation, I use the terms and concepts of complexity theory developed by new science, which revises the reductionism and linearity of classic science. The complexity paradigm signifies a system of all knowledge that conceives the productivity and creativity of the complexity created by interconnective and interactive dynamics among and within systems.

  • Deleuze and Queer Theory
    Chapter 8 Unnatural Alliances Patricia MacCormack Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari use as a key example of becomings becoming-animal. Becoming-animal involves both a repudiation of the individual for the multiple and the human as the zenith of evolution for a traversal or involution across the speciesist plane of consistency. Deleuze and Guattari delineate the Oedipal animal, the pack animal and the demonic hybridisation of animal, human and imperceptible becom- ings. Various commentators have critiqued and celebrated Deleuze and Guattari’s call to becoming-woman. In his taxonomy of living things Aristotle places women at the intersection of animal and human, so becoming-animal as interstices raises urgent feminist issues as well as addressing animal rights and alterity through becoming-animal. This chapter will invoke questions such as ‘how do we negotiate becoming- animal beyond metaphor?’, ‘what risks and which ethics are fore- grounded that make becoming-animal an important political project?’ and, most importantly, because becoming-animal is a queer trajectory of desire, ‘how does the humanimal desire?’ Anthropomorphism can go either up or down, humanising either the deity or animals, but if the vertical distance is closed in any way, i.e. between God and humans or humans and animals, many are disconcerted. (Adams 1995: 180) For on the one hand, the relationships between animals are the object not only of science but also of dreams, symbolism, art and poetry, practice and practical use. And on the other hand, the relationships between animals are bound up with the relations between man and animal, man and woman, man and child, man and elements, man and the physical and microphysical universe.

  • Becoming Human? Ableism and Control in <Em>Detroit: Become
    Human-Machine Communication Volume 2, 2021 https://doi.org/10.30658/hmc.2.7 Becoming Human? Ableism and Control in Detroit: Become Human and the Implications for Human- Machine Communication Marco Dehnert1 and Rebecca B. Leach1 1 The Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA Abstract In human-machine communication (HMC), machines are communicative subjects in the creation of meaning. The Computers are Social Actors and constructivist approaches to HMC postulate that humans communicate with machines as if they were people. From this perspective, communication is understood as heavily scripted where humans mind- lessly apply human-to-human scripts in HMC. We argue that a critical approach to com- munication scripts reveals how humans may rely on ableism as a means of sense-making in their relationships with machines. Using the choose-your-own-adventure game Detroit: Become Human as a case study, we demonstrate (a) how ableist communication scripts ren- der machines as both less-than-human and superhuman and (b) how such scripts manifest in control and cyborg anxiety. We conclude with theoretical and design implications for rescripting ableist communication scripts. Keywords: human-machine communication, ableism, control, cyborg anxiety, Computers are Social Actors (CASA) Introduction Human-Machine Communication (HMC) refers to both a new area of research and concept within communication, defined as “the creation of meaning among humans and machines” (Guzman, 2018, p. 1; Fortunati & Edwards, 2020).

  • No 57 October 1988 AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
    THE rCOLFOAlSf f I folk «r 1 No 57 October 1988 AD ASTRA PER ASPERA October 1988 COLFEIAN the Chronicles of Colfe's School and of the Old Colfeians' Association The Master, Richard Scriven, planting a tree on the occasion of the Leathersellers' cricket match, 26th June, 1988 following the opening of the new Preparatory School on 23rd June. Mr Scriven's father laid the Foundation Stone for the Main School Building in 1964. ISSN 0010-0670 COVER DESIGN With a change in the format of the Colfeian, it was felt appropriate to change also the design of the cover.'The design chosen for this year at least, emphasises continuity. It is the design used on every issue from vol.1 no.l in December 1900 until vol.17 no. 67 in December 1939. In those days the Colfeian was the magazine of the Old Colfeians, while from 1902 the school had its own magazine, Colfensia. In 1951 the two magazines combined, thus beginning the present sequence of the Colfeian. The original cover, now being re-used, was designed by Charles J. Folkard whose signature it bears. More on this eminent Old Colfeian appears on another page. For his design, Folkard drew the heraldic stone which hung over the entrance to Colfe's Almshouses in Lewisham, depicting the arms of Abraham Colfe and the Leathersellers' Company. As a result of the school's celebration of Folkard this year, which accompanied the acquisition of some of his original drawings, the stone itself has been re-discovered. Since the demolition of the almshouses, it has lain, albeit somewhat damaged and begrimed in the vaults of Manor House, Lee.

  • 1 an AGE of KINGS (BBC TV, 1960) Things Have Moved on in Fifty Years
    1 AN AGE OF KINGS (BBC TV, 1960) BBC VIDEO 5 disc set; ISBN 1-4198-7901-4, Region 1 only Tom Fleming, Robert Hardy Things have moved on in fifty years. In 1960 (I was sixteen), we didn’t have a television, and I had to prevail upon my school-friends to let me cycle round to their houses every alternate Thursday to watch this series. 1 Now, I can sit in my armchair and watch it straight through on my computer on DVD, with sound coming through the headphones. I count An Age of Kings as the single most important cultural event in my entire life, more important even than being in Trevor Nunn’s first-ever Shakespeare production ( Hamlet ) the previous year. It taught me what Shakespeare was about, and I’ve never forgotten it. Over ten years ago, seeing that it was on at the NFT, I went down to see some odd bits. Approaching Michael Hayes, the director, I said, “What you did here provided me with the single most important cultural event of my life”. He looked at me suspiciously: “You seem a bit young to say that”, he said, and turned away. I went up to Peter Dews, the producer: “What you did here provided me with the single most important cultural event of my life” – “Good!” he grunted, and turned away. So much for the creative team. Were they really as boring as that in 1960? (In fact Dews died shortly after our brief chat.) Paul Daneman said in an accompanying NFT lecture that the cast spent every morning talking, and didn’t start rehearsals till after lunch.

  • Of Rats and Men
    Hugvísindasvið Of Rats and Men How Willard Exemplifies the Fallacy in Polarized Understandings of the Categories of Man and Animal Ritgerð til BA-prófs í kvikmyndafræði Salvör Bergmann Maí 2015 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Kvikmyndafræði Of Rats and Men How Willard Exemplifies the Fallacy in Polarized Understandings of the Categories of Man and Animal Ritgerð til BA-prófs í kvikmyndafræði Salvör Bergmann Kt.: 050390-2849 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnar Theodór Eggertsson Maí 2015 Extract This essay provides an in-depth analysis of Glen Morgan’s 2003 film Willard in relation to an exploration of the issue of polarities, in particular those that separate man and animal. To analyse how the film not only displays said polarities, but subsequently showcases them as residing in fallacy, the categories of man and animal must at first be somewhat adhered to, where the human and animal characters of the film are recognized as originally residing in their separate spheres. It is then scrutinized how those characters exit these spheres, as well as how the spheres themselves seem to hybridize and intermingle. The essay consists of five segments; a foreword, three theoretical and analytical chapters, and a conclusion. The first chapter, “Man becomes Animal”, introduces Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s hypothesis of “becoming-animal” as a recurring focal point of reference throughout the analysis. It also explores film critic Robin Wood’s basic formula of horror in relation to the effect of a man and an animal being doubles. In addition of making use of animal studies alongside general film studies, the essay also utilizes studies of humanistic geography, as the chapter also includes Chris Wilbert’s workings with philosopher Karen Barad’s term “intra-action”.
