E-Mail: [email protected] Skype: uteipa VII Foreword Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold. -Joseph Chilton Pearce This compilation of contributions from around the globe is both compelling and eye-opening. I am particularly struck by the fundamental, yet often under-recognized, relationship of child wellness to play. As the different perspectives given in this culturally-diverse compilation demonstrate, the psychological, developmental and physical rewards of play for children can neither be overstated nor overemphasized. It is easy to discern through the perspectives provided by these authors how play significantly enhances a child’s social competence, cognitive functioning, motor skills, and resiliency to combat anxiety, fear, and hopelessness. Moreover, it is also evident that forms of play evolve and yet continue to be bound by societal values and culture. Thus, they remain susceptible both to the impositions brought about by new technology (and its related sedentary behavior), as well as to the boundaries created by caregivers and their environmental, cultural and socioeconomic surroundings. Through my own personal experiences, first as a child raised in the midst of the long civil war in Lebanon, and later as a father and a pediatrician involved in the care of children for over 25 years, I have witnessed first-hand how play, laughter, and imagination can mitigate a child’s internalization of helplessness and loss of control. Even through the struggle to comprehend physical pain, uncertainty, and disquieting environments, children use play as a coping mechanism to negotiate meaning and understanding. As demonstrated in this book, the healing and therapeutic benefits of play greatly assist in offsetting a myriad of impediments to achieving healthy child development. Dr. Ute Navidi has dedicated her career to advocating for children’s rights both in England and throughout the globe. She has fearlessly tackled the status quo by speaking out against Westernized societies that have blindly become so entrenched in risk-aversion, as playgrounds are dismantled and outside play is plagued by a trend

  • Analysis: the 2013 Amendments to South Carolina Code Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 Do Not Substantively Change the Law, Th
    ALAN WILSON ATTORNEY GENERAL June 14, 2013 The Honorable Barry J. Barnette Solicitor, Seventh Judicial Circuit 180 Magnolia Street Spa1tanburg, South Carolina 29306 Dear Solicitor Barnette: Attorney General Alan Wilson has referred your letter of March 27, 2013 to the Opinions section for a response. The following is our understanding of your question presented and the opinion of this Office concerning the issue based on that understanding. Issues: Do the 2013 amendments to Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 of the South Carolina Code of Laws mean: I) Any place licensed to serve alcohol may now have bingo, casino nights and poker nights as long as they are for a charitable purpose? 2) May holders of beer and wine permits have game promotions including contests, games of chance, or sweepstakes in which the elements of chance and prize are present and which comply w ith specified requirements contained in subsection 3 [of S.C. Code Section 61-4-580] as long as the game or sweepstakes does not use a '"poker machine?" Law/Analysis: The 2013 amendments to South Carolina Code Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 do not substantively change the law, they merely clarified existing South Carolina law, indicating that Sections 61-2-180 and 61-4-580 are not exceptions or limitations to Section 12-21-2710 (or other sections of the law concerning gambling or games of chance). Our position, which is consistent with the jurisprudence in this State, is that South Carolina law was clear and unambiguous before this amendment. Therefore, the same principles that applied under the law before the amendment apply after it.1 As a background regarding statutory interpretation, the cardinal ru le of statutory construction is to ascertain the intent of the legislature and to accomplish that intent.

In Russia, institutional care is the most widespread with this type of child care placement representing 98 per cent of all out-of- home care facilities for children after kinship care (Groark et al., 2008; Human Rights Watch, 1998).

  • Advertising/Marketing Code and Buying Guidelines
    Advertising/Marketing Code and Buying Guidelines Introduction Beer is a legal beverage meant to be consumed responsibly by adults of legal drinking age. Its origins are ancient, and it has held a respected position in nearly every culture and society since the dawn of recorded history. In the United States, beer is a mature product category with broad cultural acceptance and a history of memorable and distinctive advertising that, because of its humor and creativity, has long been a favorite among American adult consumers. Advertising and marketing materials are legitimate efforts by Brewers to inform consumers of the particular styles and attributes of numerous beers and other malt beverages that are available. Brewer advertising and marketing materials also foster competition, persuade adult consumers of beer to try particular brands, and maintain customer loyalty. Brewers should employ the perspective of the reasonable adult consumer of legal drinking age in advertising and marketing their products, and should be guided by the following basic principles, which have long been reflected in the policies of the brewing industry and continue to underlie this Code: • Beer advertising should not suggest directly or indirectly that any of the laws applicable to the sale and consumption of beer should not be complied with. • Brewers should adhere to contemporary standards of good taste applicable to all commercial advertising and consistent with the medium or context in which the advertising appears. • Advertising themes, creative aspects, and placements should reflect the fact that Brewers are responsible corporate citizens. • Brewers strongly oppose abuse or inappropriate consumption of their products. The term “beer” as used in this Code covers all types of malt beverages, including but not limited to, beers and flavored malt beverages, as well as various specialty products containing alcohol such as hard cider.
