Discussion continues with Upshall, Pinkerton and Kalu intercut giving opinions of on the undesirability of repeating stereotypes about black people as gangsters, the books being mainly about criminal activity, and there not being enough other books to balance; the universality of some of the themes in the books; one book offering the political message that black people need to organise in order to resist, having a high ranking policeman character being a good thing.

    The association between early childhood onset epilepsy and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in 3237 children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): a historical longitudinal cohort data linkage study

    No full text
    Children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have an increased risk of comorbidities, such as epilepsy and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, little is known about the relationship between early childhood epilepsy (below age 7) and later ADHD diagnosis (at age 7 or above) in ASD. In this historical cohort study, we examined this relationship using an innovative data source, which included linked data from routinely collected acute hospital paediatric records and childhood community and inpatient psychiatric records. In a large sample of children and young people with ASD (N = 3237), we conducted a longitudinal analysis to examine early childhood epilepsy as a risk factor for ADHD diagnosis while adjusting for potential confounders, including socio-demographic characteristics, intellectual disability, family history of epilepsy and associated physical conditions. We found that ASD children and young people diagnosed with early childhood epilepsy had nearly a twofold increase in risk of developing ADHD later in life, an association which persisted after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted OR = 1.72, CI95% = 1.13–2.62). This study suggests that sensitive monitoring of ADHD symptoms in children with ASD who have a history of childhood epilepsy may be important to promote early detection and treatment. It also highlights how linked electronic health records can be used to examine potential risk factors over time for multimorbidity in neurodevelopmental conditions

    2 prospectors the letters of Sam Shepard & Johnny Dark

    "Pulitzer Prize-winning author of plays such as True West, Fool For Love, and Buried Child, and Academy Award-nominated actor in many films, including The Right Stuff, Sam Shepard is arguably America's finest working dramatist. He has said many times that he will never write a memoir. But he has written intensively about his inner life and creative work to his former father-in-law and housemate, Johnny Dark. This book gathers nearly 40 years of their correspondence, which provides the most honest and complete record of Shepard's professional and personal lives that he is ever likely to publish. The book is illustrated with Dark's candid, revealing photographs of Shepard and their mutual family across many years, as well as facsimiles of numerous letters. It makes a perfect companion to Treva Wurmfeld's recent film, Shepard & Dark"-

    Opportunities for the development of geometrical reasoning in current textbooks in the UK and Japan

    No full text
    Developing a good model of the school geometry curriculum continues to be one of the most important tasks in curricular design in mathematics. This paper reports on an initial analysis of current best-selling textbooks used in lower secondary schools in Japan and the UK (specifically England and Scotland). The analysis indicates that, following the specification of the mathematics curriculum in these countries, Japanese textbooks set out to develop students’ deductive reasoning skills through the explicit teaching of proof in geometry, whereas comparative UK textbooks tend, at this level, to concentrate on finding angles, measurement, drawing, and so on, coupled with a modicum of opportunities for conjecturing and inductive reasoning. The available research suggests that each approach has its own strengths and weaknesses. Finding ways of capitalising on the strengths and mitigating the weaknesses could prove helpful in formulating new curricular models and designing new student textbooks

    voiceCollected by Johnny Page and Jim Hays For Mary C. Parler Transcribed by Frances Majors Sung by Mrs. Lola Stanley Fayetteville, Arkansas December 30, 1958 Reel 265, Item 1 The Derry Downs of Arrow (Child No. 214) I knew a lady of the North, A fair, a fair oh was she; She was courted by nine noble cowboys On the derry downs of Arrow. Her father hired a noble cowboy; She loved him she did dearly. She dressed him up and sent him away To the derry downs of Arrow. As he rode over those high, high hills, Those high, high hilld and valleys, These nine noble men was waiting his coming On the derry downs of Arrow. There's nine of you and one of me, No taller, slenderer bravery; I'll fight you all, it's one by one, On the derry downs of Arrow. It's three he slew and three they flew, And two he left them wounded. Her brother Jim slipped up behind And pierced his heart on Arrow. Go home, go home, you false-hearted boy, And tell your sister Sara Her sweetheart John got killed last night On the derry downs of Arrow. She ran to bed, it was early that night, And rose before the morrow; Oh, Father dear, I had a dream last night, I'm afraid it will bring to me sorrow. Oh, daughter dear, I will read your dream, I will read it all for sorrow; Your sweetheart John got killed last night On the derry downs of Arrow. The Derry D o w ns of Arrow (Cont'd) Reel 265, Item 1 (Cont'd) She run her hands all through her hair; Her jewels being many; She pulled them off and laid them down And started away for Arrow. As she rode over those high, high hills, Those high, high hills and valleys, Until she came to her sweetheart John, Got killed last night on Arrow. She washed his face and combed his hair, And washed away his weeping tears; And laid him, yes, all in his grave On the derry downs of Arrow. Oh, daughter dear, dry up your tears, And weep no more for sorrow; I'll lead you to a better lad Than the one you lost on Arrow. Oh, Father dear, seven sons have you; You may wed them all tomorrow. But the very old bloom that sprung in June Is the one I lost on Arrow.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
