Stay Resolution-Strong FEBRUARY 2016 LOOK NO FURTHER: DRAMA NJTV IS YOUR HOME FOR During the past five seasons of Downton Abbey, we’ve seen the tides of history sweep from the sinking of the Titanic and World War I to the jazz-hot beginnings of the Roaring Twenties. We’ve seen Matthew Crawley melt Lady Mary’s heart. And thanks to the fabulously quotable Dowager Countess, we’re still pondering, “What is a week-end?” The sixth and final season of the popular Masterpiece series opens in 1925. Women’s rights have given Lady Mary and Lady Edith new positions of responsibility: Mary runs the COURTESY OF NICK BRIGGS estate, and Edith manages the magazine she inherited from Michael Gregson. Tom has left for Boston, and newlyweds Lady Rose and Atticus are trying their luck in Jazz Age New York. Anna faces a murder charge, and big doubts hang over the servants’ jobs. Will great houses and the fortunes that support them soon be gone? One thing is certain: NJTV will continue to be your DOWNTON ABBEY SEASON 6 home for great drama. PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, On February 2, we’re pleased to premiere Mercy FEBRUARY 3 AT 9PM Street, a new six-part series following the lives of doctors, nurses, contraband laborers, and MERCY STREET ANTONY PLATT Southern loyalists in Union-occupied Alexandria, AIRS TUESDAYS AT 10PM Virginia, and the Mansion House Hospital in the early years of the Civil War.

  • Ending Injustice in Our Fields and Dairies: New York State Should Extend Basic Labor Protections to Farmworkers
    POLICY BRIEF | MAY 2019 Ending Injustice in Our Fields and Dairies: New York State Should Extend Basic Labor Protections to Farmworkers In 1937, New York State lawmakers passed fundamental labor protections for the state’s workers. But just as Congress had done in the landmark federal labor law enacted two years earlier, New York lawmakers excluded farmwork and other industries disproportionately employing workers of color from these protections. In the eight decades since, farmworkers have been paid low wages for onerous work, suffered poor living conditions, and been exposed to wage theft, physical injury, trafficking, and harassment. Since the 1990s, lawmakers in Albany have promised to address this shortcoming, and yet these unfair exclusions from basic legal protections persist. Often working in rural isolation, for employers who control virtually every aspect of their lives, the men and women who produce our sustenance cannot depend upon basic labor laws, and yet they are also constrained from banding together to improve their conditions. We are past due to end the discrimination in New York’s fields and dairies, and to extend collective bargaining rights and other baseline labor protections to farmworkers. To Farmworkers, Promises Made and Promises Broken Time and time again, agricultural workers laboring in one of the lowest-paid and most dangerous occupations in the United States have been told by policymakers that they don’t matter. As a result of legislative compromises in the drafting of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)

  • Playing Every Day on Sesame Street Global Learnings from a Play-Based Pilot Intervention in India, Mexico, and South Africa • Kim Foulds and Abby Bucuvalas
    Playing Every Day on Sesame Street Global Learnings from a Play-Based Pilot Intervention in India, Mexico, and South Africa • Kim Foulds and Abby Bucuvalas Research has shown that playful learning helps foster the development of young children. Adult guidance of this play in meaningful ways can unlock the transformative power of education. Lack of knowledge about guided play, however, often leads to children growing up without opportunities to learn through play. Considering this, the authors analyze findings from the pilot phases of Play Every Day, an intervention based in urban communities in India, Mexico, and South Africa. This program is designed to shift the perceptions of care givers about play and its relationship to child development and to allow them to guide children in learning through play. The authors describe the program’s intent to contribute to global knowledge of best practices for promoting playful learning. They discuss developing a global framework and contextualizing its delivery to empower care givers as ambassadors of learning through play in young children’s lives. Key words: guided play; Play Every Day project; play in India; play in Mexico; play in South Africa; scaffolding play; Sesame Workshop It is well established that play is an integral component of early- childhood development . Research has shown that playful learning helps foster the development of young children and lay the foundations for them to become creative, engaged, lifelong learners. Thus, play constitutes an important part of a child’s daily routine, an often underused space in which valuable teaching and learning can take place (Brooker 2013, Kelly-Vance 2008).

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] A Female Houdini: Popular Culture in Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle Abstract Popular discourses are ubiquitous in the writing of Margaret Atwood. Her novels, poetry and critical writing constantly foreground ways in which notions of gender identity, and of cultural identity more generally, have been shaped by media and other popular representations. References to Hollywood and television rub shoulders with allusions to magazines, fairy tale, popular song and a host of other forms responsible for women's socialization and female mythologies: these include the Persephone2 and Triple Goddess3 myths, popular religious discourse, advertising language and iconography and the stereotypical norms inculcated in girls by such institutions as Brownies and Home Economics classes.4 This journal article is available in Kunapipi: https://ro.uow.edu.au/kunapipi/vol14/iss1/15 AFemale Houdini: Popular Culture in Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle 71 JOHN THIEME A Female Houdini: Popular Culture in Margaret Atwood's Lady Oracle There are whole magazines with not much in them but the word love, you can rub it all over your body and you can cook with it too.' 1 (Margaret Atwood, 'Variations on the Word Love' ) Popular discourses are ubiquitous in the writing of Margaret Atwood.

With one picture, the first one sees it as spots on a giraffe. The second one sees it as eyes and a nose when you turn it around at 90 degrees. The third one sees it as a close-up of Swiss cheese. The fourth one sees it as two balloons playing catch. It all depends on how you look at it. The four LeVars look at a couple more eye riddles. Many people see many things in different ways. Besides having a unique way of seeing things, people's other senses are unique too. LeVar loves coming Arthurs Eyes the farmer's bazaar because he gets surrounded by all kinds of sights, smells, and textures. He challenges the viewers' eyes at seeing Arthurs Eyes of certain fruits and vegetables. The things the viewers see are viewed through a special camera lens. Some people use special lenses to see things, especially when they can't see well. LeVar explains, "I wear glasses, and sometimes I wear contact lenses. A different color blindness, unlike with your eyes, has something to do with your mind. It has nothing to do with what you see, but how you see it. LeVar has a flipbook he made himself. The picture changes each time you turn a page. Flipping the pages faster looks like a moving film.
