(It does not include any children’s output on other commercial generalist non-terrestrial channels, such as GMTV,ABC1, Sky One.) • This output analysis examines the genre range within children’s programming and looks at how this range has changed since 2003. It is based on the BARB Children’s genre classification only and uses the BARB subgenres of Children’s Drama, Factual, Cartoons, Light entertainment/quizzes, Pre-school and Miscellaneous. • It is important to note that the BARB genre classifications have some drawbacks: – All programme output that is targeted at children is not classified as Children’s within BARB. Some shows targeted at younger viewers, either within children’s slots on the PSB main channels or on the dedicated children’s channels are not classified as Children’s. For example, Disney Channel’s That’s so raven is classified in BARB as ‘Entertainment Situation Comedy US’. This output analysis is not based on the total output of each specific children’s channel, e.g.

Interested parties may contact the editors. Harry Margalit and Paola Favaro, UNSW Australia From Social Role to Urban Significance: The Changing Presence of the MLC Company in Martin Place The intersection of Martin Place and Castlereagh Street in Sydney is dominated by a single institution – the MLC (Mutual Life and Citizens’ Assurance Company). To the south is the MLC Centre (1971-77), and on the northern corner stands the interwar MLC building of 1938. The company has a long association with the area, with the Citizens’ Life Assurance Company established in 1886 and headquartered at 21-25 Castlereagh Street. The MLC Company came into being in 1908 with the amalgamation of the Citizens’ Life Assurance Co. Limited and the Mutual Life Assurance Association of Australia. This paper examines the history of the 1938 and 1977 buildings as a means to understanding and elucidating not only the development of the company, but also changing attitudes to how it represented itself through specific buildings, and how the function and public presence of each building chart a shift in urban design attitudes and the use of public space.

This study addresses this literature gap by analyzing depictions of religion in holiday specials aired in 2018 from three top preschool networks: Disney Junior, Nick Jr., and PBS Kids. Using qualitative content analysis, this study reveals that preschool holiday specials are shifting away from more in-depth portrayals of diverse religions toward commercialized, generalized, and secularized portrayals of Christmas. Although Chanukah and other non-Christmas religious holiday specials are, on average, older and less common than Christmas specials, they portray non-Christmas traditions in greater religious depth than the more recent and numerous Christmas specials portray Christmas.

    SNICK - Round 9 1. Gigi D'Agostino's remix of this song appears on his album L'Amour Toujours and ​ ​ ​ prominently repeats the line "They don't care." The true story of Lela and Raymond Howard's efforts to reach the Pioneer Days festival in Temple, Texas inspired Tony Scalzo's lyrics to this song, which features nearly-constant eighth-note piano chords.
