Section 4 Resources Introduction Many local children and young people within the Mourne Mountains Landscape Partnership Area are disconnected from the Mountain Landscape that surrounds them. They live in the shadow of them, have to cross or drive round them for school or their social life and yet very few know or understand anything about them. They are a huge element in their lives and yet they are almost unaware of their presence. Through the delivery of this programme we hope to encourage children to look up at the mountains and be reconnected to this essential element of their life, community and heritage. We hope it will enthuse, encourage and empower them to explore the Mournes, discover their majesty and mystery, do something to conserve them and share their experiences with others. The first thing to realise when exploring any upland landscape is that it isn’t just a bunch of rocks and Heather– a barrier to get over– or something to pass through on the way to the seaside; this is a living, breathing, moving, shifting, community of flora and fauna that is constantly growing and dying, feeding and decaying.

  • In the Beginning
    In the Beginning The first five years of the Skeptic Edited by Barry Williams The Original Aims of Australian Skeptics * To investigate claims of pseudoscientific, paranormal and similarly anomalous phenomena from a responsible, scientific point of view. * To publicise the results of these investigations and, where appropriate, to draw attention to the possibility of natural and ordinary explanations of such phenomena. * To accept explanations and hypotheses about paranormal occurrences only after good evidence has been adduced, which directly or indirectly supports such hypotheses. * To encourage Australians and the Australian news media to adopt a critical attitude towards paranormal claims and to understand that to introduce or to entertain a hypothesis does not constitute confirmation or proof of that hypothesis. * To stimulate inquiry and the quest for truth, wherever it leads. These aims will be pursued by: * Establishing a network of people interested in critically examining claims of the paranormal, * Publishing a periodical, the Skeptic and distributing relevant information. * Publishing articles, monographs and books that examine claims of the paranormal. * Maintaining a library. * Preparing a bibliography of relevant published material. * Encouraging and commissioning research by objective and impartial inquirers. * Conducting meetings, seminars and conferences. * Acting as a public information resource by making informed members and relevant expertise available to the news media and other interested groups. The skeptical attitude involves: * Seeking all relevant evidence concerning any extraordinary or putative paranormal event, claim or theory. * Keeping an open mind and not rejecting paranormal claims a priori. * Refusing to accept as true theories and explanations for which there is insufficient or ambiguous evidence and recognising that withholding belief is a preferable position to accepting claims for which there is insufficient evidence.

  • Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC
    Networks of Nature: Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC Gail Davies Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted 1997 Awarded 1998 University College London Gail Davies Phd: Networks of nature Abstract In May 1953 the first natural history television programme was broadcast from Bristol by naturalist Peter Scott and radio producer Desmond Hawkins. By 1997 the BBC's Natural History Unit has established a global reputation for wildlife films, providing a keystone of the BBC's public service broadcasting charter, playing an important strategic role in television scheduling and occupying a prominent position in a competitive world film market. The BBC's blue-chip natural history programmes regularly bring images of wildlife from all over the globe to British audiences of over 10 million. This thesis traces the changing aesthetics, ethics and economics of natural history film-making at the BBC over this period. It uses archive material, interviews and participant observation to look at how shifting relationships between broadcasting values, scientific and film-making practices are negotiated by individuals within the Unit. Engaging with vocabularies from geography, media studies and science studies, the research contextualises these popular representations of nature within a history of post-war British attitudes to nature and explores the importance of technology, animals and conceptions of the public sphere as additional actors influencing the relationships between nature and culture. This history charts the construction of the actor networks of the Natural History Unit by film- makers and broadcasters as they seek to incorporate and exclude certain practices, technologies and discourses of nature.

    Leeds Student Friday, F www.leedsstudent.org.uk Terris all Knowin' Owain gold But does the NUS They're not NME's, President know what they're ours we want? juice pages 1243 space pages 15 Housing con men hit campus Fraudsters impersonate Unipol officials to con house-hunters STUDENTS have been approached in the street by men pretending to be from a Unipol registered property manager. One group of students was approached at Leeds University's Parkinson steps by a man in a suit. who asked them it they were looking for a Unipol standard property. He then attempted to direct them to a non-Unipol agent. Another group was similarly approached in Headingley Lane. Steve Chippendale. Unipol's Code of Standards Officer, issued a general warning to students not to be taken in by these men. He said: "I urge students to check with Unipol whether agents are registered with us. 'These particular agents are not signed up to our Code of Standards. Please phone us or drop into the race if you are [insure." Steve is concerned that such acus ities will coerce students into signing for properties prematurely. He said: "These heavy handed tactics have been used in previous years and we do not want students to sign up for properties under false pretenses." He also stressed that most Unipol agents only advertise after March I. when their official list is published. Unipol could not name the agent involved, as the only concrete evidence they have at the moment is students phoning to complain about their experiences.
