  • Veterans Film Targets British Army Over Child Recruitment
    HOLD FOR RELEASE UNTIL 00.01AM 24th JUNE 2015 Veterans Film Targets British Army over Child Recruitment ‘ACTION MAN: BATTLEFIELD CASUALTIES’ Veterans for Peace UK film by Darren Cullen & Price James Featuring Matt Berry Written by Darren Cullen Directed by Price James Produced by Agile Films Screening and Exhibition: 24th June – 2nd July 2015, (free entry) Red Gallery, 1-3 Rivington Street, London EC2A 3DT Film online at: www.battlefieldcasualties.co.uk A series of controversial films launched today by Veterans for Peace UK highlight the realities of armed service for young soldiers. The films parody iconic Action Man toys and appear to be adverts for a new Battlefield Casualties addition to the range, but the ‘adverts’ are in fact a dark satire on the reality of life and death in and after the army; an attempt by the veterans group to put pressure on the government to raise the army recruitment age to eighteen. The bleak but trenchant films, with a voiceover from actor and comedian Matt Berry, showcase three toy soldiers, PTSD Action Man (“with thousand-yard stare action”), Paralysed Action Man (“legs really don’t work”) and Dead Action Man (“coffin sold separately”). Veterans for Peace say the films are an attempt to draw attention to the way the British Army targets teenagers and even young children in its search for new recruits while ignoring and downplaying the often-brutal repercussions of military service in their advertising. The UK is one of fewer than twenty countries worldwide that still recruits sixteen year olds into its armed forces.1 Most countries only recruit adults aged eighteen and above.

DESCRIPTORS *Atomic Theory, Energy, *Nuclear Physics, Physics experiments, Radioisotopes, *Science Equipment, *Science History, Scientific Research, Scientists ABSTRACT This booklet is one of the "Understanding the Atom" Series. Consisting of three sections, it is an account of the development of the first nuclear reactor by a team of scientists led by Enrico Farmi. The first section briefly reviews the early work on nuclear fission and neutron emission, the impact of Einstein's letter to President Roosevelt, the establishment of the Manhattan Engineer District, and the preliminary work on the design and construction of the first atomic pile at Chicago. The section ends with an hour-by-hour description of the experiment culminating in the achievement of the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction on December 2, 1942. The second section consists of Fermi's own story of the first atomic chain reaction, written in observance of the tenth anniversary of the event. The third section is an account by Fermi's wife of a Party to celebrate the success of the experiment. Nor narrative reveals the great secrecy surrounding the work of Fermi's team. The booklet has numerous photographs of the scientists involved in the Project, sketches of the first atomic pile and a Photograph of a graph indicating the neutron intensity during various stages of the operation of the atomic pile.

Oct. 2021 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND TO RESEARCH AND PROBLEM AREA Working as a primary school teacher in Greece for ten years and practising icon-painting, aroused my interest in teaching visual arts. From my masters level studies in Art, Craft and Design Education at Roehampton University, I learned that if art education is to be a meaningful experience and contribute to the life of my students art has to be taught as part of the culture in which it is produced. In addition, I started to think about the way students in present day society construct multiple and overlapping identities and live within complex social environments permeated by visual images that art teachers could use to enhance art content and practice (Freedman, 2003b; Duncum, 2002a; Pauly, 2001).

DePriest and Tod Pleasant The untold story of the 1970s Hasbro team who brought us the Adventure Team and more, based on interviews and newly discovered prototypes that at long last shed light on the people and ideas that gave rise to this largely unexplored era in G.I. Joe history. The History of the Super Joe Adventure Team Steve Stovall It’s been forty years since Hasbro first introduced the Super Joe Adventure Team and this presentation will cover all the great figures, uniforms and accessories from this short-lived GI Joe line.
