Season four begins with the mercurial Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) back once more on British soil as Doctor Watson (Martin Freeman) and his wife Mary (Amanda Abbington) prepare for their biggest challenge yet: becoming parents . Ghosts of the past are rising in the lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, and terror and tragedy are looming . Sun. Jan. 1 & 8, 9 pm; Jan. 15, 7 pm On Sight: The Story of Vision Sight is an extremely complex process that requires light, which starts with photons generated in distant stars and ends in the visual cortex of our brains . In the middle of this process are our eyes . The story’s threads weave the tale of the journey of humanity that discovered the science, technology, and medicine that allows us to understand how sight works, cure diseases of the eye, and correct vision . Thursday, January 5 at 11 pm On Pati’s Mexican Table, Season 5 Pati Jinich explores the Mayan world in the Yucatán Peninsula . Embarking on a road trip that crosses three states – Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo – she meets with local producers, growers and chefs, both in restaurants and in their homes, to learn about the unique cuisine of the region . Along the way, Pati visits remote fishing villages, historic haciendas, bustling markets, the Mayan ruins and more, diving deep into the region’s cuisine and culture . Sunday – Friday at 3:30 & 6:30 pm 3 Members’ Message FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE Mark Stanislawski This month your Southern Oregon Public Television celebrates its 40th year of bringing you the best television on television . It all began in May of 1927 when Philo Farnsworth transmitted television pictures as part of a prototypical television system . By 1947 an estimated 14,000 television sets were in the United States, and that number grew to 20,000,000 by 1953, which was also the year KBES (now KOBI) began service in the Rogue Valley . Southern Oregon Education Company (SOEC) was organized in 1972 as a noncommercial educational station and began broadcasting on KSYS on January 17th 1977, appropriately with Sesame Street . We extended service to the Klamath Basin in 1989, expanded coverage west of the Cascades with translators, and converted to HDTV as mandated by Congress in 2006 . We now offer three full-time channels of service over the air and via cable throughout our broadcast region . DirecTV and Dish only carry our SOPTV-PBS service . A group of visionary and committed community leaders felt southern Oregon would benefit from having its own educational television service and thanks to their efforts we are here today . Our thanks to our founders: W . Boyce Stanard, president; Mrs . Garner Haupert, vice president; Donald K . Denman, secretary; Beryl C . Swalls, treasurer; Charles I . Gustafson; F . Jerome Hunter; Dr . Richard C . Langdon; John M . Lynch; and Dr . James Sours . See www .soptv .org/about- soptv for additional information about our history . We’ve come a long way since 1977 thanks to those who have served as board members and on the staff of Southern Oregon Public Television . And, thanks to your support of our incomparable program service, SOPTV always provides you with an opportunity to learn . Many have predicted “doom and gloom scenarios” when cable television expanded television viewing options . We’ve had “moments of concern” when federal funding was threatened . Maintaining our far-flung rural broadcast infrastructure can be challenging . And we do not receive state funding like many other small public television stations, but we have exceptional support from members like you! Thanks for your support, and I hope you feel a pride of ownership in what we’ve accomplished working together . Mark Stanislawski President & CEO 4 — SOPTV’s Mission — As an independent media voice, Southern Oregon Public Television enriches our understanding of the past, enlivens our present and prepares us for the future by connecting our community with quality local and national programming that educates, enlightens, inspires and entertains.

I was only at Aldenham Aldenhamiana for two years in the Sixth Form, but No.45 October 2017 even visiting the School for the first Published by The Old Aldenhamian Society time, it had a feel about it that I have Aldenham School, Elstree, Hertfordshire WD6 3AJ UK never forgotten.

  • Telling the True Story
    Bachelor Thesis Telling The True Story Queerbaiting, representation, and fan resistance in the BBC Sherlock fandom Suzanne Frenk 613191 Algemene Cultuurwetenschappen (Culture Studies) School of Humanities Tilburg University Supervisor: Dr. P. K. Varis Second Reader: Dr. I. E. L. Maly August 18, 2017 Synopsis In this thesis, I follow an online community on Tumblr revolving around a self- proclaimed conspiracy theory called TJLC. This group is part of the broader community of fans of the BBC TV show Sherlock, and is focused on ‘The Johnlock Conspiracy’: the belief that the two main characters of the show, John and Sherlock, are bisexual and gay, respectively, and will ultimately end up as a romantic couple, which would make Sherlock a mainstream TV show with explicit and positive LGBTQIA+ representation. This visibility is especially important to LGBTQIA+ individuals within the TJLC community, who want to see their identities more often and more accurately represented on television. The fact that the creators of Sherlock, as well as several of the actors in the show, are either part of the LGBTQIA+ community themselves or known supporters, works to further strengthen TJLC’ers’ trust in the inevitable unfolding of the story into a romantic plot. The fact that the TJLC community is based on a conspiracy theory not only makes it a remarkable example of fan culture, but has also led to many close readings of the show and its characters – from the textual level to symbolism to the musical score – on a level that can often be seen as close to academic. These pieces of so-called ‘meta’ have led to many predictions about the direction of the show, such as the strong belief that ‘Johnlock’ would become real in season four of the series.

This work was undertaken largely by Survey staff member Luella Adams and resulted in a report presented to the Commission, containing recommendations for potential historic districts and individual landmarks within the area of the Community Board.

    Teaching with Testimony Guide for 14-year-old Holocaust survivor Lisa Jura’s universal story of bravery and resilience transforms classrooms around the world in an interdisciplinary and multisensory learning experience from USC Shoah Foundation and Hold On To Your Music The Children of Foundation. Supported by the Koret Foundation, this suite of resources mixes music, story and Willesden Lane technology to reshape Holocaust education for primary and secondary school students. By Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen Created by USC Shoah Foundation as part of The Willesden Project 1 Attributions About the Authors Mona Golabek is a Grammy-nominated recording artist, an internationally celebrated concert pianist, and the star of the one-woman show The Pianist of Willesden Lane. She travels the world, sharing the inspirational story of her mother, Lisa Jura. Lee Cohen is a journalist, screenwriter, and poet. About the Book Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler’s armies advanced on pre-war Vienna, Lisa’s parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport—a rescue effort that relocated Jewish children to Great Britain—they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. Living in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa felt the weight of her parents’ choice and yearned to be reunited with her family. But despite her circumstances, Lisa created a new life for herself, and her music became a beacon of hope for all the children of Willesden Lane.

    FALL 2002 29 Laughter and Ethnicity in John Leguizamo's One-Man Worlds Miriam M. Chirico John Leguizamo's life is the substance of his art. His unflinching and uncompromising look at his own life and the lives of those closest to him provides the basis for his one-man shows, Mambo Mouth, Spic-O-Rama, the Tony-nominated play Freak and Sexaholix...A Love Story. Leguizamo has stamped his stand-up comic style as a playwright and his energetic characterizations as an actor onto the Broadway stage and the Hollywood screen. As the first Latino performer ever to produce a one-man show on Broadway, he is a spokesperson for a minority culture that vies to be heard within a dominant Anglo-Saxon one, and his dramatic sketches are tinged with a political undercurrent that questions the status quo of race relations in America. Leguizamo never allows his content to become too cerebral or heavy, but instead manipulates the comic impulse to bring his characters to life, providing the audience a means of empathizing with these characters and understanding the social and political issues at stake. Nor are his characters stereotypical representations of race and gender, as sometimes occurs in comedy. Rather, as each character confides his or her story to the audience, the facade they have brazenly put forth begins to erode under their frank admissions of fears and doubts. His characters are earnest and quirky, and derive their appeal not only from the stories they tell but also from the vocal and physical skills Leguizamo brings to each character.
