    SERVICE REVIEW OF RADIOS 3 AND 4 SUBMISSION FROM BBC AUDIENCE COUNCIL FOR SCOTLAND RADIO 3 Classical music repertoire Radio 3’s Service Licence states that the network “should produce regular special events on significant themes across a wide range of music and arts topics. The great composers should regularly be represented on Radio 3, but there should also be a range of less familiar music in order to introduce listeners to new works." There was discussion at the focus group on the range of repertoire available on the Radio 3. Two main points emerged. Broadening awareness Listeners place a high value on the network’s ability to broaden their awareness of the extent of the classical music repertoire. “One of its functions is to be like a public library of music.” This applied to other genres, such as jazz and world music, as well. Radio 3’s role in relation to the mainstream repertoire is not to support it, but to challenge it. “You’re always learning... but it’s never condescending, and you’re never preached at.” “There is lots of assumed knowledge [of music], but there are other places for people who don’t have that, like Classic FM” “It’s not targeted at a particular age... it’s targeted at people who want to be stimulated or challenged” (West of Scotland, early 20s) For some loyal listeners, the range of repertoire was thought to have narrowed in the last ten years or so: coverage of new music was said to be less extensive now. Connecting between genres The role of extending listeners’ awareness applied between genres as well as within them.

  • COVID Chronicle by Karen Wilkin
    Art September 2020 COVID chronicle by Karen Wilkin On artists in lockdown. ’ve been asking many artists—some with significant track records, some aspiring, some I students—about the effect of the changed world we’ve been living in since mid-March. The responses have been both negative and positive, sometimes at the same time. People complain of too much solitude or not enough, of the luxury of more studio time or the stress of distance from the workspace or—worst case—of having lost it. There’s the challenge of not having one’s usual materials and the freedom to improvise out of necessity, the lack of interruption and the frustration of losing direct contact with peers and colleagues, and more. The drastic alterations in our usual habits over the past months have had sometimes dramatic, sometimes subtle repercussions in everyone’s work. Painters in oil are using watercolor, drawing, or experimenting with collage; makers of large-scale paintings are doing small pictures on the kitchen table. Ophir Agassi, an inventive painter of ambiguous narratives, has been incising drawings in mud, outdoors, with his young daughters. People complain of too much solitude or not enough, of the luxury of more studio time or the stress of distance from the workspace or—worst case—of having lost it. Many of the artists I’ve informally polled have had long-anticipated, carefully planned exhibitions postponed or canceled. In partial compensation, a wealth of online exhibitions and special features has appeared since mid-March, despite the obvious shortcomings of seeing paintings and sculptures on screen instead of experiencing their true size, surface, color, and all the rest of it.

  • Kwara Annual School Census Report 2013
    ANNUAL SCHOOL CENSUS REPORT 2013-2014 State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development Kwara State School Census Report 2013-2014 Preface The Y2013/2014 Annual School Census exercise began with sensitization meetings with Public Schools Education Managers and Private Schools Proprietors, which was followed by the update of school list (with support from NGOs), clustering of schools and selection of supervisors/enumerators. The State EMIS Committee then met to deliberate on the modality for the conduct of the exercise. This was followed by the training of supervisors and enumerators, and distribution of questionnaires with the technical and financial support by ESSPIN. The success of the previous census was manifest in its wide acceptance and use in planning, budgeting, monitoring/evaluation within the MDAs and as source of reference by other users. This year exercise which was conducted between 24th February to 7th March began with data collection that was monitored by D/PRSs across the MDAs and ESSPIN Team. Completed forms were returned and screened for face and content validity. Forms with errors or incomplete data were returned for corrections. The data entry officers were trained in four LGA EMIS nodes, spread across the State, where data entry took place. Data cleansing and analysis took place at the State central EMIS in the State Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development. There was a great improvement in data quality and slight improvement in private schools participation as a result of the sensitization engagement with the stakeholders. The LGEA EMIS nodes were strengthened and grassroots commitment enhanced with the data entry that took place at the four centres.

  • The Working-Class Experience in Contemporary Australian Poetry
    The Working-Class Experience in Contemporary Australian Poetry A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sarah Attfield BCA (Hons) University of Technology, Sydney August 2007 i Acknowledgements Before the conventional thanking of individuals who have assisted in the writing of this thesis, I want to acknowledge my class background. Completing a PhD is not the usual path for someone who has grown up in public housing and experienced childhood as a welfare dependent. The majority of my cohort from Chingford Hall Estate did not complete school beyond Year 10. As far as I am aware, I am the only one among my Estate peers to have a degree and definitely the only one to have attempted a PhD. Having a tertiary education has set me apart from my peers in many ways, and I no longer live on the Estate (although my mother and old neighbours are still there). But when I go back to visit, my old friends and neighbours are interested in my education and they congratulate me on my achievements. When I explain that I’m writing about people like them – about stories they can relate to, they are pleased. The fact that I can discuss my research with my family, old school friends and neighbours is really important. If they couldn’t understand my work there would be little reason for me to continue. My life has been shaped by my class. It has affected my education, my opportunities and my outlook on life. I don’t look back at the hardship with a fuzzy sense of nostalgia, and I will be forever angry at the class system that held so many of us back, but I am proud of my working-class family, friends and neighbourhood.

    SRA111: Introduction to Security and Risk Analysis Course Description SRA 111 is an introductory course with a broad focus, spanning primarily the areas of security, risk, and risk analysis. In addition to familiarizing the student with basic security terminology, it will also touch upon social and legal issues, risk analysis and mitigation, crime intelligence and forensics, and information warfare and assurance.
