Explore Our Planet – Lost in Space December 9-13, 2019 This month completes our exploration of our planet; we are finishing things off by exploring space, the dark, starry place beyond the sun and clouds. It’s easy to forget that we live on one tiny planet in a huge universe, and even when we begin to talk about it, it’s a difficult topic to comprehend. Learning about the solar system at a young age can really inspire astronomy as a passion, ignite imagination and encourage a long-term fascination that may never leave them, which is why we will be spending the week learning all about space! Within the universe are different solar systems; a solar system has many parts, the sun, planets, moons, stars, asteroids, and comets. The sun is the center of our solar system which is surrounded by 8 planets; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. We live on planet Earth and 100km above us is considered outer space where the shell of air around our planet (Earth) disappears. With no air to scatter sunlight and produce a blue sky, space appears as a black blanket dotted with stars. Space is usually regarded as being completely empty. But this is not true. The vast gaps between the stars and planets are filled with huge amounts of thinly spread gas and dust. Fun Facts About Space: • Outside of our solar system there are thousands of other planets. • In space the skin on your feet peels off. You don’t use your feet to walk in space so the skin softens and flakes off. • You become taller in space. Gravity is not pushing you down so your spine lengthens. • Even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun it is not the hottest. • You can cry in space but your tears won’t fall. Are you ready to BLAST OFF and get “Lost in Space”? Explore Our Planet – Lost in Space Mercury: Mercury is the smallest planet and it is closest to the sun. It takes 59 Earth days to rotate once, and 88 Earth days to orbit the sun. Venus: Venus spins in the opposite direction to all of the other planets in the solar system. Its surface is covered in volcanoes and it has more volcanoes than any other planet in the solar system. Earth: Our home planet! Earth is the only planet in our solar system that humans can live on. Did you know that three-quarters of the Earth is covered with water? We have one moon that is very important in controlling the tides of the sea. Mars: Mars is known as the ‘red planet’ because of its reddish appearance. The tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons, is on Mars and it is 21km tall. Jupiter: Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and it is so big that you could fit all of the other planets inside it! Jupiter has 62 moons and one of them, Ganymede, is the largest moon in the solar system. Saturn: Saturn is the second biggest planet in the solar system but it is also the lightest as it is made almost entirely of gas. Saturn is very well known for its rings that circle around it. The rings are made up of chunks of rock and ice. Uranus: Uranus is the coldest planet in the solar system with a minimum temperature of -224°C. Unlike all of the other planets, Uranus spins on its side! Neptune: Neptune is the planet that is furthest away from the sun. One year in Neptune is 165 Earth years! The wind on Neptune is the fastest in the solar system and can travel at more than 1,500 miles per hour. Play & Learn: Lost In Space It’s easy to forget that we live on one tiny planet in a huge universe. Our solar system is in a galaxy called the Milky Way, it is estimated that there are approximately 30 billion solar systems in the Milky Way. Our Solar system is made up of 8 planets, many dwarf planets, satellites, and moons and of course the sun. MERCURY VENUS SATURN EARTH URANUS MARS JUPITER NEPTUNE Explore Our Planet – Lost in Space Our Solar System The Solar System was formed nearly 4.6 billion years ago, and beyond our Solar System there are many galaxies that we are learning more and more about every single day. Create your very own solar system using craft supplies. What you need: • Coloured paint & brushes • Whiteout pen or white paint and fine brush • Styrofoam balls (different sizes) • Clear thread/fishing line • Wooden skewers • Shoe box • Black paint or paper • Glue • Tape • Cardstock • Scissors • Sewing needle What to do: 1. Remove the lid from the shoebox and line the entire shoebox with black paper or paint it black. 2. Using a whiteout pen or white paint and a fine brush, paint tiny stars all over the inside of the black shoebox. 3. Using a wooden skewer, carefully poke all the way through the Styrofoam balls, so you can hold and paint the balls without touching them. 4. Using the card stock, trace and cut out a ring to go around the planet Saturn. 5. Once the planets are dry, thread all the planets with a length of clear thread, adding a blob of glue at the base of each to hold in place. 6. Make some holes in the top of the painted shoebox, and hang the planets through. Hold in place on the top of the box with a little sticky tape. Explore Our Planet – Lost in Space Astronaut Training Everyone knows that it is important to exercise to stay in shape – on Earth, that is. But when you’re in Space, exercise is vital! Physical activity is the most effective way to counteract the adverse effects of weightlessness on the human body. Exercise is therefore a crucial part of the daily routine in space. Over the course of a long-duration mission in Space, astronauts must exercise approximately two hours per day! On Earth, each time we move, gravity provides resistance to the muscles and bones of our body. It's like we're exercising without even realizing it! That way, our body stays strong enough to support our weight. In microgravity (very weak gravity, like on board a space craft), bones and muscles no longer have to support the weight of astronaut’s bodies. What’s more, the cardiovascular system becomes lazy because the heart doesn’t have to work as hard as it does on Earth to counteract gravity and pump blood up to the head. Despite a strict exercise routine, astronauts will lose an average of 1% of their bone density per month in Space. On Earth, elderly people lose 1% per year! That means that without exercise, their muscles, bones and heart become weaker. Astronauts need to stay in shape in order to: • Reduce the deterioration of their bones • Maintain the strength of their muscles and their heart • Remain strong enough to do spacewalks • Be able to carry out emergency procedures during landing • Stay healthy and in shape until they return to Earth and to gravity Thanks to the current protocol of two hours of exercise per day, astronauts return to Earth with more muscle mass than when they blasted off! Now you complete our “Astronaut Training Checklist” so you can be strong enough to blast-off to space! Explore Our Planet – Lost in Space Astronaut Training Children have received their own Together Wee Can “Explore Our Planet” activity book, which includes an ”Astronaut Training” checklist. As they complete each training exercise they can check it off the list in their books! 1. Tunnel Crawl: You can use a pop up tunnel, create a tunnel using chairs or just crawl and pretend there is a tunnel. Children try and crawl through as quickly as they can. 2. Gravity Lifts: Lift a giant “moon rock” (beach ball) 3 times. 3. Toe Touches: Stand up straight and bend over to touch your toes, do this 4 times. 4. Line Hops: Stretch out a long rope and hop side to side over the rope, astronauts must complete 5 hops. 5. Jumping Jacks: Astronauts must be able to jump around in Space, complete 10 jumping jacks. 6. Balance Counts: Try balancing on one leg and count to 8. Practice makes perfect: Once you have run through the checklist, keep practicing. Time how long it takes you at the beginning of the week and how long it takes you at the end of the week to see how much you have improved with a little practice! Don’t forget to fill in the astronaut’s name, date they completed training and their fastest time to complete the list of exercises. To enter our Together Wee Can Explore Our Planet “Lost in CONTEST Space” contest, send in photos of children participating in ALERT! Together Wee Can events this month. Send photo entries to your local Wee Watch office no later than December 31, 2019. Play & Learn: Lost In Space Space Themed Sensory Bin What you need: • Homemade Moon Sand (see recipe below) • Large container • Astronaut & spaceship toys • Glow in the dark stars What to do: Once you have made your homemade moon sand, add your glow in the dark stars, astronaut and spaceship toys to the sensory bin and let children explore.

    Chapter Fourteen Men Into Space: the Space Race and Entertainment Television Margaret A. Weitekamp

    CHAPTER FOURTEEN MEN INTO SPACE: THE SPACE RACE AND ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION MARGARET A. WEITEKAMP The origins of the Cold War space race were not only political and technological, but also cultural.1 On American television, the drama, Men into Space (CBS, 1959-60), illustrated one way that entertainment television shaped the United States’ entry into the Cold War space race in the 1950s. By examining the program’s relationship to previous space operas and spaceflight advocacy, a close reading of the 38 episodes reveals how gender roles, the dangers of spaceflight, and the realities of the Moon as a place were depicted. By doing so, this article seeks to build upon and develop the recent scholarly investigations into cultural aspects of the Cold War. The space age began with the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. But the space race that followed was not a foregone conclusion. When examining the United States, scholars have examined all of the factors that led to the space technology competition that emerged.2 Notably, Howard McCurdy has argued in Space and the American Imagination (1997) that proponents of human spaceflight 1 Notably, Asif A. Siddiqi, The Rocket’s Red Glare: Spaceflight and the Soviet Imagination, 1857-1957, Cambridge Centennial of Flight (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010) offers the first history of the social and cultural contexts of Soviet science and the military rocket program. Alexander C. T. Geppert, ed., Imagining Outer Space: European Astroculture in the Twentieth Century (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) resulted from a conference examining the intersections of the social, cultural, and political histories of spaceflight in the Western European context.

Dwyer has called “pop nostalgia,” a set of critical affective responses to representations of previous eras used to remake the present or to imagine corrective alternatives to it. Longings for the Fifties, Dwyer observes, were especially key to America’s self-fashioning during the Reagan era (2015). Moving from these premises, I turn to anachronisms, aesthetic resonances, and intertextual references that point to, as Mark Fisher would have it, both a lost past and lost futures (Fisher 2014, 2-29) in the episodes of the Hanna-Barbera animated series The Jetsons produced for syndication between 1985 and 1987. A product of Cold War discourse and the early days of the Space Age, the series is characterized by a bidirectional rhetoric: if its setting emphasizes the empowering and alienating effects of technological advancement, its characters and its retrofuture aesthetics root the show in a recognizable and desirable all-American past.

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

Suggestions for teaching have been divided into questions and discussion that you may have with the students before, during, and after they read. However, you may prefer to explore the meaning and language in more detail before the students read. Your decisions will depend on the gap between the students’ current knowledge and the content, vocabulary, and language of the book they are about to read. The more information the students have up front, the easier it will be for them to read the text. However, this does not mean that you should read the text to them first. We have addressed four areas we think are important in developing good readers.

    Mission Possible: Targeting Trailers to Movie Audiences Received: 5Th January, 2005

    Mission possible: Targeting trailers to movie audiences Received: 5th January, 2005 Thomas Kim Hixson is an assistant professor who teaches advertising at the University of Winsconsin-Whitewater. He received his Ph.D in journalism from Southern Illinois University. Prior to his career in academe, he was an advertising copywriter and a television promotion manager. His research interests include entertainment and sport marketing and promotion, uses and gratifications, and advertising effects. Abstract The effectiveness of using genre preference segmentation and behaviour segmentation to target movie trailers is explored. Participants from two samples watched trailers and were surveyed. They reported their movie genre preferences and the expected entertainment value of the advertised movies. The data indicate that moviegoers with similar genre preferences have similar reactions to trailers, making effective preference and behaviour segmenting possible for use as a method to target movie trailers. INTRODUCTION Segments built on genre preference, Advertisers have used various methods of however, do meet Wedel’s requirements. segmenting audiences to designate target Still, putting trailers in cinemas in front audiences.

Whether one is a devotee of a long-running, time-tested procedural on basic cable, or a binge-watching cord-cutter glued to Hulu© on Sunday afternoons, for many of us, our television viewing habits are a part of who we are. But outside the industry where new television content is conceived and created, it is rare to pause and consider how television series are made, much less where this work is performed, and why, and by whom, and how much money is spent along the way. In this study we explore notable developments impacting the television industry and how those changes affect production levels in California and competing jurisdictions. Some of the trends we consider are: growth in the number of live-action scripted series in production, the influence of digital streaming services on this number, increasing production costs and a turn toward remakes and reboots and away from traditional pilot production.
