Hello Everyone, We Know That in This Time of Real Uncertainty, You Might Hello Everyone, We know that in this time of real uncertainty, you might for once not want to sit indoors all day as the sun shines bright, and for many, you might actually be bored. We get that – it is perfectly acceptable and believe me, we adults are feeling just the same as you! So, to help pass the time over Easter especially, or when you have completed all your CW that is being set – please find below some different challenges and tasks that you can complete to help build your skills in Geography. Some you may find easier than others, and that’s ok – just move on to the next J We have also pulled together videos on Netflix (hopefully they still are!) or suggested films that you might like to watch – as always, please ensure your parent/guardian is happy for you to watch these first and they also review the age consent of the one/s you select – as these may have changed since we compiled the list. As always too, if you are watching something and you don’t like it – stop! Some of the films may provide the truth to how food is made for example, and some of you may not like this! Happy entertaining yourself J and Happy Easter when it comes!

  • Future of Public Service Media: Open University Response Summary
    Ofcom – Future of Public Service Media: Open University Response Summary 1. Education is a crucial part of the Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) requirements. Several of the statutory requirements set out in Section 264 of the Communications Act 2003 relate to educational objectives. There are opportunities to strengthen these requirements as part of the new Public Service Media (PSM) offer. 2. The Open University (OU) plays a key role in supporting the delivery of PSB requirements around education through its partnership with the BBC. The partnership co-produces high-quality factual content across several channels and platforms, which is developed in collaboration with academic experts and closely linked to related educational materials hosted by the OU. A key objective of the partnership is to encourage people to embark on learning journeys from the informal, factual content produced with the BBC, through online and printed educational resources which enhance and enrich their broadcast/digital experience, to taking up formal learning opportunites inspired by watching, listening to and engaging with the content produced as part of the partnership. 3. In 2019/20: • A total of 257 hours of content produced via the OU/BBC partnership was broadcast by the BBC. • This resulted in a combined total of 308 million viewing/listening “events” and digital engagement interactions. • The three most popular television programmes broadcast – A Perfect Planet, Springwatch and Hospital (Series 5) all saw viewing figures in excess of 22 million. • There were 765,000 unique visitors to the online educational content related to the OU/BBC partnership hosted on the OU’s free online learning platform, OpenLearn.

Screening each evening at 8.30pm from Monday, April 20, the week kicks off with the premiere of Blue Planet Revisited, exploring the challenges facing the marine eco-system and wildlife in the Great Barrier Reef and the Bahamas. The cameras then move from under the ocean to hundreds of kilometres up in the sky in Earth From Space, capturing natural spectacles on an epic scale and showing viewers the planet’s extraordinary beauty and diversity in astonishing detail. The week will finish with a special Sunday screening of every episode of David Attenborough’s iconic Planet Earth II. Presented by Liz Bonnin, Chris Packham and Steve Backshall, Blue Planet Revisited returns to two key locations featured in Blue Planet II to see how things have changed, talk to the scientists who know our oceans best and give us a snapshot of the health of the ocean. With the breeding season underway, the series focuses on the action following whales and their calves and turtles and their hatchlings together with spectacular footage of shark dives in the Bahamas and the underwater dawn chorus of the Great Barrier Reef, home to 600 different kinds of coral and more than 1500 species of fish.

  • Oral and Cloacal Microflora of Wild Crocodiles Crocodylus Acutus and C
    Vol. 98: 27–39, 2012 DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published February 17 doi: 10.3354/dao02418 Dis Aquat Org Oral and cloacal microflora of wild crocodiles Crocodylus acutus and C. moreletii in the Mexican Caribbean Pierre Charruau1,*, Jonathan Pérez-Flores2, José G. Pérez-Juárez2, J. Rogelio Cedeño-Vázquez3, Rebeca Rosas-Carmona3 1Departamento de Zoología, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Distrito Federal 04510, Mexico 2Departamento de Salud y Bienestar Animal, Africam Safari Zoo, Puebla, Puebla 72960, Mexico 3Departamento de Ingeniería Química y Bioquímica, Instituto Tecnológico de Chetumal, Chetumal, Quintana Roo 77013, Mexico ABSTRACT: Bacterial cultures and chemical analyses were performed from cloacal and oral swabs taken from 43 American crocodiles Crocodylus acutus and 28 Morelet’s crocodiles C. moreletii captured in Quintana Roo State, Mexico. We recovered 47 bacterial species (28 genera and 14 families) from all samples with 51.1% of these belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Fourteen species (29.8%) were detected in both crocodile species and 18 (38.3%) and 15 (31.9%) species were only detected in American and Morelet’s crocodiles, respectively. We recovered 35 bacterial species from all oral samples, of which 9 (25.8%) were detected in both crocodile species. From all cloacal samples, we recovered 21 bacterial species, of which 8 (38.1%) were detected in both crocodile species. The most commonly isolated bacteria in cloacal samples were Aeromonas hydrophila and Escherichia coli, whereas in oral samples the most common bacteria were A. hydrophila and Arcanobacterium pyogenes. The bacteria isolated represent a potential threat to crocodile health during conditions of stress and a threat to human health through crocodile bites, crocodile meat consumption or carrying out activities in crocodile habitat.
