  • Cycles in the Sky
    Cycles in the Sky Star show for elementary grades RMSC Strasenburgh Planetarium Transcript of a typical springtime presentation Revised December 2015 Hello, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Star Theater at your Strasenburgh Planetarium, part of the Rochester Museum & Science Center. For the next forty minutes you will use your eyes, your ears, and especially your brain to learn about the sky. To be sure you don’t miss anything you will need to pay quiet attention through the whole program. Your seat is made to give you a comfortable view of the ceiling here in the Star Theater. But the Star Theater ceiling is not like a regular ceiling. The Star Theater ceiling is shaped like a giant upside-down bowl. You might know the word for a ceiling with that shape – a dome. The dome here in the Star Theater is 40 feet high and 65 feet across. It is very smooth and light gray in color, so when we slowly turn down the lights the dome seems to go on forever like the sky. To make the dome look like the sky at night, we use that amazing blue machine in the center of the room. It may look like a space station from the 60’s, or a camera, or a robot, but it is …a star projector. If it’s a star projector, you can guess that its job is to project …stars! The star projector contains many light bulbs, large and small, that project beams of light onto the dome.

  • Additional Material for Chapter 2: Press Regulation Section Numbers from the Book Are Used When Relevant
    Dodd & Hanna: McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists, 24th edition Additional Material for Chapter 2: Press regulation Section numbers from the book are used when relevant. Its content provides fuller explanations and context. 2.1.1 Fragmentation of press regulation A deep concern among the ‘mainstream’ press organisations and many journalists was that Leveson’s proposed regulatory system included an overseeing ‘recognition body’, to be created by statute (and therefore in a form decided by politicians). Leveson’s aim was that this body would decide whether to approve (‘recognise’) any regulator funded by the press, and therefore how the regulator would operate. The idea was that - if recognition was granted - there would be periodic reviews of the regulator’s effectiveness, in terms of promoting standards in journalism, to check if its recognised status remained merited. Leveson did not recommend that such recognition should be compulsory for any regulator the press established. But, as explained below, he designed a legal framework which could financially penalise press organisations – potentially very heavily - if they did not sign up to a ‘recognised’ regulator. Critics of the recognition concept say it offers potential for future governments to interfere with press freedom, by exercising influence through the role of, or powers granted to, the recognition body—for example, by giving it powers to insist that a regulator, to retain recognition, impose tighter rules on the press, with harsh penalties for breaching them. Supporters say that such ‘recognition’ oversight can help ensure that a recognised regulator is completely independent, in its decisions on complaints against the press, of any press group funding it.

  • Attachment a – LEED and LBC the City of Santa Monica Is an Internationally Recognized a Leader in Sustainable City Planning
    Attachment A – LEED and LBC The City of Santa Monica is an internationally recognized a leader in sustainable city planning. In 1994, it was one of the first cities in the world to publish a Sustainable City Plan. The City continues to pursue long-term environmental goals outlined in its Climate Action Plan. Current City codes mandate enough sustainable features to almost guarantee a minimum LEED Gold rating for new building projects. LEED Platinum, the highest LEED standard, is becoming increasingly common. The Pico Library, completed in 2014, is on track to achieve LEED Platinum certification. LEED Certification In 1993, LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), was developed as a program of the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED certification has been recognized across the globe as the premier mark of achievement in green building. Buildings are rated LEED Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum based on increasingly rigorous measurements. For more information on LEED, see http://www.usgbc.org/leed. The Living Building Challenge In 2006, an even more rigorous international rating standard for sustainability, the Living Building Challenge, was developed by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy, advocacy tool, and certification program that promotes the most advanced measurement of sustainability in the built environment. Similar to LEED, the LBC offers three levels of recognition: Living Building Certification, Petal Recognition or Net Zero Energy Building Certification, the most challenging level is full Living Building Certification. A full Living Building Certified (LBC) project achieves net-zero energy, net-zero water and contains no cancer-causing chemicals.

  • Viewing the Sun 2 Copy 2
    VIEWING THE SUN THREE THINGS YOU MUST REMEMBER There are three things to remember about viewing the sun: 1 Never look directly at the Sun 2 Never use any instruments like binoculars, telescopes or cameras to view the Sun directly 3 Doing either can permanently damage your eyes HOW TO WATCH A SOLAR ECLIPSE SAFELY It’s not all bad news. You can safely watch a solar eclipse by using: • Pinhole cameras • Eclipse glasses • Solarscopes WHERE CAN I GET THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT? You can buy eclipse glasses and solarscopes from various retailers (see below for safety tips). Want to make your own pinhole camera? Check out the BBC’s Stargazing Activity Guide. HOW SHOULD I USE MY ECLIPSE GLASSES? Eclipse glasses let you look directly at the Sun. Remember not to look at the Sun before wearing the glasses, and always: • Test them with a bright light to make sure they’re authentic and not faulty • Check they’ve got the “CE” safety mark • Place the glasses over your eyes before turning to the Sun WHAT’S A SOLARSCOPE? A solarscope is a handy device that projects the solar image onto a screen for safe viewing. The more affordable versions come as a cardboard unit. Solarscopes can be a bit pricey, but they’re a great way for a few people to share the solar eclipse experience. IS IT SAFE TO LOOK AT THE SUN DURING A TOTAL ECLIPSE? The only time it is safe to look directly at the Sun during a solar eclipse is during totality. Totality is when the Sun is totally covered by the Moon, and most sunlight is blocked.

  • You Are What You Read
    You are what you read? How newspaper readership is related to views BY BOBBY DUFFY AND LAURA ROWDEN MORI's Social Research Institute works closely with national government, local public services and the not-for-profit sector to understand what works in terms of service delivery, to provide robust evidence for policy makers, and to help politicians understand public priorities. Bobby Duffy is a Research Director and Laura Rowden is a Research Executive in MORI’s Social Research Institute. Contents Summary and conclusions 1 National priorities 5 Who reads what 18 Explaining why attitudes vary 22 Trust and influence 28 Summary and conclusions There is disagreement about the extent to which the media reflect or form opinions. Some believe that they set the agenda but do not tell people what to think about any particular issue, some (often the media themselves) suggest that their power has been overplayed and they mostly just reflect the concerns of the public or other interests, while others suggest they have enormous influence. It is this last view that has gained most support recently. It is argued that as we have become more isolated from each other the media plays a more important role in informing us. At the same time the distinction between reporting and comment has been blurred, and the scope for shaping opinions is therefore greater than ever. Some believe that newspapers have also become more proactive, picking up or even instigating campaigns on single issues of public concern, such as fuel duty or Clause 28. This study aims to shed some more light on newspaper influence, by examining how responses to a key question – what people see as the most important issues facing Britain – vary between readers of different newspapers.

  • Tabloid Media Campaigns and Public Opinion: Quasi-Experimental Evidence on Euroscepticism in England
    Tabloid media campaigns and public opinion: Quasi-experimental evidence on Euroscepticism in England Florian Foos London School of Economics & Political Science Daniel Bischof University of Zurich March 3, 2021 Abstract Whether powerful media outlets have eects on public opinion has been at the heart of theoret- ical and empirical discussions about the media’s role in political life. Yet, the eects of media campaigns are dicult to study because citizens self-select into media consumption. Using a quasi-experiment – the 30-years boycott of the most important Eurosceptic tabloid newspaper, The Sun, in Merseyside caused by the Hillsborough soccer disaster – we identify the eects of The Sun boycott on attitudes towards leaving the EU. Dierence-in-dierences designs using public opinion data spanning three decades, supplemented by referendum results, show that the boycott caused EU attitudes to become more positive in treated areas. This eect is driven by cohorts socialised under the boycott, and by working class voters who stopped reading The Sun. Our findings have implications for our understanding of public opinion, media influence, and ways to counter such influence, in contemporary democracies. abstract=150 words; full manuscript (excluding abstract)=11,915 words. corresponding author: Florian Foos, [email protected].

  • Newspaper and Online News Reporting of Major Accidents: Concorde AFR 4590 in the Times, the Sun and BBC Online
    Newspaper and Online News Reporting of Major Accidents: Concorde AFR 4590 in The Times, The Sun and BBC Online C.W. Johnson Dept. of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, G12 9QQ. Tel.: +44 141 330 6053, Fax: +44 141 330 4913 http://www.dcs.gla.ac.u/~johnson, [email protected] Many complaints have recently been made against the media reporting of major accidents (Johnson, 2003). It has been argued that undue emphasis is placed on identifying the immediate causes of any failure, including human error or technical failure, in the hours following an adverse event. In consequence, the public can be misinformed about the complex nature of many technological failures. The following pages present what is arguably the first detailed review of media coverage of a major accident. In particular, we consider the way in which a tabloid newspaper, a broadsheet and an Internet news service covered the loss of Concorde flight AFR4590 in July 2000. Our analysis yields some surprising results. The broadsheet speculates most about the causes of the incident, the tabloid publishes the least. The journalists and editorial staff on these new sources present very few direct hypotheses about the potential causes of this accident. In contrast, the majority of the speculation in the media is presented in the form of direct quotations from experts many of whom criticise undue speculation in the aftermath of such adverse events. This provides at least a partial explanation for the relative amount of speculative material in each of the publications that were studied. Experts may have been more inclined to speculate for the more prestigious broadsheet than they were for the mass-market tabloid publication.

  • Analyzing an Earth-Sun Model to Explain the Stars Seen in The
    EXPLORATION 1 Analyzing an Earth-Sun Model to Explain the Stars Seen in the Sky A group of stars that form a pattern is called a constellation. The constellation Ursa Major also has an inner pattern known as the Big Dipper. But if you look for the Big Dipper, you will see that it is not always in the same position in the night sky. In addition to the movement of the stars across the sky every night, their rising times change throughout the year. So the constellations visible in the early evening are different in winter, spring, summer, and fall. 3. Discuss When you look at the night sky, what do you see? The Big Dipper is one of the most familiar star patterns in the northern sky. It looks Changes in Stars Seen in the Night Sky like a ladle used to scoop water. Just as the sun appears to move in a path across the sky, stars in the night sky also appear to move. They seem to change locations nightly. 4. Why do the stars appear to move across the sky every night? A. Because Earth orbits the sun once a year. B. Because Earth tilts on its axis. C. Because Earth rotates once every 24 hours. 5. Act With your class, investigate why star patterns change yearly. • Several students form a large circle. They represent the stars in the night sky. One student represents the sun and stands in the center. One student represents Earth and stands between the stars and the sun. The head of the student who is Earth represents the North Pole of Earth.

    News Consumption in the UK: 2018 Produced by: Jigsaw Research Fieldwork dates: November/December 2017 and March/April 2018 PROMOTING CHOICE • SECURING STANDARDS • PREVENTING HARM 1 2 Key findings from the report TV is the most-used platform for news nowadays by UK adults (79%), followed by the internet (64%), radio (44%) and newspapers (40%). However, the internet is the most popular platform among 16-24s (82%) and ethnic minority groups (EMGs) (73%). BBC One is the most-used news source, used by 62% of UK adults, followed by ITV (41%) and Facebook (33%). BBC One also had the highest proportion of respondents claiming it was their most important news source (27% of users). Social media is the most popular type of online news, used by 44% of UK adults. However, while lots of people are able to recall the social media site they consumed the news on, some struggle to remember the original source of the news story. When scored by their users on measures of quality, accuracy, trustworthiness and impartiality (among other things) magazines perform better than any other news platform. Scores were lower among users of social media TV is the most popular platform for accessing international and local news. In the Nations, BBC One is the most- used source for news in Wales, Scotland and England, but UTV is the most popular in Northern Ireland. Six in ten (63%) UK adults thought that it was important for ‘society overall’ that broadcasters provide current affairs programming. This was more than those who felt it was important to them personally (51%).

  • Newspaper Headlines: One in 5 Britons Will Be Ethnics
    NEWSPAPER HEADLINES: ONE IN 5 BRITONS WILL BE ETHNICS THE FACTS: • The one in 5 ‘fact’ is taken from a study from the University of Leeds, which suggests that the proportion of Black, Asian and other ethnic minorities will increase from 8% of the population to 20% by 2051. • This is an estimate by the university and estimates often turn out to be inaccurate, for example in the 1960s it was estimated that the British population would by 76 million by the year 2000 and this was off target by 16 million. • One of the authors of the study, Professor Phillip Rees, has admitted that it is only an estimate, saying ‘It is impossible to predict exactly how people will move into, out of and within the country…as all of these trends are influenced by a whole range of factors.’ ETHNICS: What does the Daily Express mean when it uses this word? At the beginning of the article, the Daily Express uses ‘ethnic’ to mean anyone that is NOT white and NOT born in Britain, however at the end of the article it’s used to include people who ARE white but were NOT born in Britain. This is really confusing and misleading for the reader. We ALL have an ethnicity and can ALL be described as ethnic. NEWSPAPER HEADLINES: SWAN BAKE: ASYLUM SEEKERS STEAL THE QUEEN’S BIRDS FOR BARBEQUES THE FACTS: • Members of the public rang The Sun newspaper to tell them about this story. They were in a London park and saw a couple of people having a barbeque.
