Doctor Who: Rosa Doctor Who: Rosa Travelling in the TARDIS, the Doctor brings her friends Graham, Ryan and Yaz to Montgomery, Alabama in the 1950s. At first, the friends are happy to be visiting the 1950s. However, they soon realise that it is not a safe place for some people. Meeting a woman named Rosa Parks, Team TARDIS figure out they have arrived just before an important event in history – the Montgomery bus boycott. Background to the Montgomery Bus Boycott Between 16th and 19th century, millions of African people were sold into slavery. In the USA, slavery ended in 1865. However, life for many African Americans remained hard. There were rules, called Jim Crow laws, that had to be followed. These included: • not being allowed to vote in elections; • only being able to do certain jobs; • parks, restaurants and public transport being split so African-American people could only go to certain places (these places were not as good as those provided for white people). The Origins of the Montgomery Bus Boycott On 2nd March 1955, an African American teenager called Claudette Colvin was getting a bus home from school. The bus was full so the driver ordered Claudette to give up her seat for a white person. At school, Claudette had been learning about how badly many African Americans had been treated. She refused to give up her seat. Claudette was arrested and sent to jail. On 1st December that same year, Rosa Parks was travelling home from work. She got on a bus driven by a man called James Blake. As the bus filled up, Rosa Parks was told to leave her seat so white passengers could sit down. She refused. The police were called and Rosa Parks was arrested. Writing about the event years later, she said she was “tired of giving in”. Page 1 of 2 visit twinkl.com Doctor Who: Rosa The Bus Boycott Rosa Parks was a member of a group that wanted to improve life for African Americans. A campaign was started on 5th December 1956 and it was led by Martin Luther King Jr. It called for African Americans to boycott (stop using) Montgomery buses and instead share lifts, walk or cycle to wherever they needed to go. The aims of the boycott were: • for all passengers to be treated politely by bus drivers; • for no passenger to be made to give up their seat for people getting on the bus; • to allow African Americans to become bus drivers. Almost all African American people in Montgomery joined the boycott and the bus company began to lose money. Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders of the campaign were arrested. Rosa Parks and her husband both lost their jobs. Eventually, the campaign was successful. On 21st December 1956, the segregation (split) between white and black people on buses in Alabama stopped.

Initially, Graham, Ryan and Yaz are thrilled to be visiting the 1950s. However, they soon realise that Alabama in the 1950s is not a safe place for some people. Meeting a woman named Rosa Parks, Team TARDIS figure out they have arrived just before a significant event in world history – the Montgomery bus boycott. Background to the Montgomery Bus Boycott From the 16th century onwards, millions of African people were sold into slavery. In the USA, slavery was abolished in 1865. However, life for many African Americans remained hard. Jim Crow laws were passed in many states limiting the rights of African Americans. These laws meant: • all African Americans were unable to vote in elections; • only certain jobs could be done by African-Americans; • parks, restaurants and public transport were segregated (meaning there were separate facilities for black people and these often weren’t as good as those provided for white people). The Origins of the Montgomery Bus Boycott On 2nd March 1955, African-American high-school student Claudette Colvin was taking a bus home. The bus was full and when more people tried to get on, the driver ordered Claudette to give up her seat for a white person. At school, Claudette had been learning about Harriet Tubman who had helped slaves escape through an underground railroad network. She had also been studying Sojourner Truth, a former slave who campaigned for women’s rights and the abolishment of slavery. Claudette later said she hadn’t left her seat because, “It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn’t get up.” Claudette was arrested and sent to jail. Page 1 of 3 visit twinkl.com Doctor Who: Rosa On 1st December that same year, Rosa Parks was travelling home from work after a tiring day. She got on a bus driven by a man named James Blake. As the bus filled up, Rosa Parks was told to leave her seat so white passengers could sit down. She refused. The police were called and Rosa Parks was arrested. Writing about the event years later, she said, “People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day…. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” The Bus Boycott Rosa Parks was a member of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), an organisation dedicated to improving the life of African Americans. Martin Luther King Jr. led a campaign, starting on 5th December 1956, that called for all African Americans to boycott (stop using) Montgomery buses. Instead, they were to share lifts, walk or cycle to their destinations. The aims of the boycott were: • for all passengers to be treated politely by bus drivers; • for passengers to be seated on a first-come, first-served basis; • to allow African Americans to become bus drivers. Almost the entire African-American population of Montgomery joined the boycott and the bus company began to lose money. Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders of the campaign were arrested.

    DOCTOR WHO SERIES 10 EPISODE 1 "A Star In Her Eye" By Steven Moffat SHOOTING SCRIPT 16/06/2016 (SHOOTING BLOCK 1) DW10: EP 1 "A Star In Her Eye" by Steven Moffat - SHOOTING SCRIPT - 16/06/16 1 INT. THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE - DAY 1 - 16.00 1 The quietest opening we’ve ever had. We’re in a reasonably untidy office. Dust and books. Obviously academic. A university lecturer’s office. We hold this stationary shot - there’s a pleasing symmetry. There’s a door on the left of the screen, and a slightly open one on the right - like the two doors on a weather clock. Through the slightly open door we can see another, smaller room. In between the doors, there’s a desk, facing across the screen. Two empty chairs. The one in front of the closed door, is a simple, wooden chair. Facing it across the desk is an elegant swivel chair. Distantly, a bell chiming. We hear the chatter of distant voices - young people, chatting and laughing. Under that, the drone of traffic. Ordinary and still, for as long as we dare. Then: Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! It’s like the squeaking wheel on a supermarket trolley - and it’s getting closer. Now the closed door opens, revealing: Nardole. Much as we last saw him in The Husbands Of River Song. He steps into the room (always a squeak on his left leg) revealing: In the doorway, Bill. Young, female, cheeky as hell. Nardole stands clear of the door, gestures towards the wooden chair.

  • How Health Workers Earn a Living in China 25
    Gerald Bloom, et al • How Health Workers Earn a Living in China 25 Original Article How Health Workers Earn a Living in China Gerald Bloom 1, Leiya Han 2 , Xiang Li 2 1. Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, Brighton, BN1 9RE, UK 2. Department of Health Policy, Tongji Medical University, People’s Republic of China Abstract Health workers earned the same salary throughout China during the period of the command economy. Differ- ences in earnings have grown substantially since then. Some health facilities supplement basic government salaries with substantial bonuses financed out of earned revenues, whilst others cannot pay basic salaries in full. Some health workers supplement their income through informal channels. The government’s response depends on the kind of informal payment. It uses moral pressure and the threat of the loss of professional privileges to discourage acceptance of cash payments from patients. It treats those who accept kickbacks from drug suppliers or health facilities as criminals. The government faces very difficult challenges in facilitating the adaptation of the health system to a market economy. Its strategy has been to create a broad policy framework within which individuals and enterprises can develop individual adaptation strategies. It has enacted rules to regularise new relationships that emerge. The strategy of gradual institutional reform has enabled the health sector to adjust to major change. However, it has allowed people to profit from opportunistic behaviour and resulted in inefficiencies and problems with access. It could eventually change social attitudes about what constitutes ethical behaviour by health workers. The challenge is to create a regulatory framework that permits health workers to earn a reasonable income, whilst encouraging them to provide effective and affordable health services that meet the needs of the population.

After all this time anticipating her arrival true, Jodie Whittaker’s first series as the Doctor has been and gone, so we’re dedicating a lot of coverage this issue to it. We’ve got everything from reviews of the series by new president Victoria Walker, to predictions from society stalwart Ian Bayley, ratings from Francis Stojsavljevic, and even some poetry from Will Shaw. But we’re not just looking at Series Eleven. We’re looking back too, with debates on the merits of the Capaldi era, a spirited defence of The Time of the Doctor, and drifting back through the years, even a look at the Virgin New Adventures! Behind the scenes, there’s plenty of “change, my dear, and not a moment too soon!” We bid adieu to valued comrades like Peter, Francis and Alfred as new faces are welcomed onto the committee, with Victoria now helming the good ship WhoSoc, supported by new members Rory, Dahria and Ben, while familiar faces look on wistfully from the port bow.

DOCTOR WHO AND THE CREATION OF A NON-GENDERED HERO ARCHETYPE Alessandra J. Pelusi 85 Pages December 2014 This thesis investigates the ways in which the television program Doctor Who forges a new, non-gendered, hero archetype from the amalgamation of its main characters. In order to demonstrate how this is achieved, I begin with reviewing some of the significant and relevant characters that contribute to this. I then examine the ways in which female and male characters are represented in Doctor Who, including who they are, their relationship with the Doctor, and what major narrative roles they play. I follow this with a discussion of the significance of the companion, including their status as equal to the Doctor. From there, I explore the ways in which the program utilizes existing archetypes by subverting them and disrupting the status quo.
