    TABLE OF CONTENTS The Newsies Production Handbook is here to guide you through all aspects of production: from casting to design to rehearsal exercises and beyond. Disney Theatrical Productions took what we learned from the Paper Mill Playhouse, Broadway, and touring productions, as well as various high school pilots, to craft a guidebook for creating your own vision of the show. To help you organize your approach to this material and your staging and rehearsal processes, we have divided this handbook into three sections: • Before You Begin includes information you’ll want to start thinking about before you jump into rehearsals. • In Rehearsal consists of material that will assist you in working with your performers. • Beyond the Stage contains information that will help to craft an engaging and rewarding production for actors and audiences alike (consider referencing this section both before and during your rehearsal process). Incorporate the material in these pages as you see ft, and above all: Enjoy!

  • La Vuelta Del Casco Inglés
    La vuelta del casco inglés. Ad portas de la celebración de los 150 años de la Tercera y en el marco de la misma, en Reunión de Compañía se decide volver a utilizar el casco de presentación estilo británico en reemplazo del casco estilo norteamericano. Sin embargo, tras algunas gestiones de voluntarios y al tomar conocimiento de la calidad y modelos que ofrecía el mercado, dicha decisión fue postergada indefinidamente. Tras casi 10 años, la idea fue retomada por Oficiales y entusiastas voluntarios que recorrieron y revisaron las alternativas de distintos fabricantes de cascos en Santiago y la V Región. Finalmente, tras meses de gestiones, pudo desarrollarse un modelo de casco basado en uno de nuestros viejos cascos de suela, con óptimos resultados. En paralelo, era de interés de la Oficialidad contar con una punta de cimera, la pieza de bronce que corona la cresta o cimera del casco, lo más similar a la original, lo que a la larga generaría una prolongada búsqueda de empresas que pudieran realizar un trabajo a la altura de nuestras expectativas, ya que en el mercado sólo se encontraban reproducciones en latón o bronce dibujados. Fue así como Cristian Arpoulet y su equipo de “Medallas Hours”, de Santiago, aceptó esta propuesta y desarrolló los cuños que nos han permitido obtener una pieza de gran factura. Las dos partes de la punta de cimera, fueron dibujados y esculpidos en dos cuños de acero por un experimentado dibujante y matricero que trabajó en Casa de Moneda, lo que garantizó un trabajo artesanal de gran calidad en los detalles y terminaciones.

  • 'Surfing the Edge of Chaos': an Ethnography of Police Joint Working
    ‘Surfing the edge of chaos’: An ethnography of police joint working Lindsay Cau Youansamouth This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2019 Department of Sociology To Mutti, Daddy, Edward, Granny, Grandpa and last but not least Anthony. i Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and has not been submitted in support of an application for another degree at this or any other university. This project is a registered N8 Policing Research Partnership (N8 PRP) PhD studentship, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), however the views expressed are those of the author and not necessarily that of the N8 PRP or ESRC. ii Abstract Police joint working is a messy area of enquiry, which has thus far been somewhat compartmentalised in previous research. This thesis reflects the complexities of police joint working amidst an era of austerity. It advances complex adaptive systems (CAS) as a theoretical construct, through which to study and comprehend the process of joint working. The principal aim is to provide a deeper and richer understanding of joint working, by drawing primarily on observations and experiences of warranted police officers and civilian police staff. The more specific objectives are to identify the utility of police joint working as a solution to social problems; investigate how joint work is accomplished using an ethnographic approach; contribute to understanding how joint working challenges might be approach differently. Through the application of CAS, a holistic and contextualised account of joint working is provided. In this respect, the thesis differs from previous atheoretical studies and literature employing a ‘communities of practice’ (CoP) approach.

  • Victim's Posture and Protective Clothing Changes The
    Title: Victim’s posture and protective clothing changes the approach in an edged-weapon attack Authors (names are for example only): Debra Carr1 2 Peter Mahoney 3 Krishna Godhania 1 Elizabeth Cowper 1 Christopher Malbon Diverse groups of people use edged-weapons (i.e. knives, spears, swords) professionally. The training received affects how the edged-weapon is used and the area of the body targeted. There is a growing body of information available on the internet which is aimed at the training individuals in offensive knife attacks. This poster aims to raise awareness of this issue and highlight how a trained individual modifies an attack sequence depending on their victim’s posture and the protective clothing worn. A male trained in the Filipino martial arts discipline of Eskrima performed attack techniques on a static mannequin covered with a long sleeved upper body garment and leggings, a police custodian helmet and a HG1 + KR1 police body armour. In some simulated attacks the target was also dressed in a police high- visibility tactical vest on top of the body armour. High-speed video was used to capture each simulated attack and the impact location on the torso recorded using ultra-violet sensitive liquid applied to the weapon. Target posture was modified by adjusting the arm position of the mannequin. In a second series of experiments a PermaGel™ male target torso was used so that penetrating damage could be assessed. Data collected identified the change of attack due to victim’s posture and vulnerability of the neck, underarm area and groin. INTRODUCTION Knives, typically used by males, are the primary weapon in a large number of offences, and are the major cause of homicide in England and Wales [1-3].
