Growing up, I never liked jazz. Even when I began taking music seriously, my heroes were still Kiss and the like. It was not until my high school years, when I stumbled across a worn copy of Bitches Brew at the local library, that I began to take notice of jazz. My curiosity came from both boredom with my music collection at home and the wild album cover that was in my grasp. It felt like holding ...

Jessica and I thought that it would be easier to explain our background and ideas using our voices. At the beginning of each segment, we indicate who is speaking to help the reader follow along with the conversation.Terence: To introduce ourselves, I am a 27-year-old male. After years of filling out what my ethnicity is, I am half Hispanic and half Caucasian. I do not fall into any stereotypes. I do not speak Spanish, but I can understand some from growing up in a mostly Hispanic culture in California. I learned French in high school. I also lived in the Netherlands for two years during a religious service mission. Growing up, I had a very diverse group of friends. Most of them had both parents in their life. The father was mostly always away at work, and the mother stayed at home, no matter what ethnicity or religion they came from. I didn’t notice any divorces or separations. That seemed like a rare thing, even when there were financial problems, which seemed to be the norm....

This study aims to analyze mental health and anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study focused on students who were forced to study at home by e-learning. This study used as many as 210 students from junior high school, senior high school, and university levels which were selected randomly. Then, this study used a mixed-method by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to obtain empirical results to compare mental health and anxiety levels based on student age groups. The analysis results revealed there was a positive and significant influence of the students’ age group on mental health and anxiety levels during the outbreak of COVID-19. The analysis also concluded that students in the 12-15 years’ age group had the worst mental health level. Meanwhile, students in the 20-25 years’ age group are known to have the lowest anxiety level. Overall, this study found that Indonesian students experienced a decline in mental health and detected an increase in anxiety levels. The level of mental health and student anxiety has implications for their learning at home, which can lead to unsatisfactory learning outcomes.

Abstract Physics demonstration learning has been carried out with the theme "Physics Experiments You Can Do at Home During the Covid-19 Pandemic". This activity was carried out by making a simple physics experiment video entitled The Chladni Plate Concept which was then broadcasted online via a zoom platform to students of SMA Negeri 40. The theme carried was in accordance with the learning curriculum for Senior High School (SMA) students. This activity was carried out as an effort to respond to the Covid- 19 pandemic situation which requires students to carry out learning activities at home online, so it is hoped that this activity can increase understanding and stimulate student enthusiasm during the Distance Learning (PJJ) period. As confirmation that the activity gained enthusiasm and was able to achieve these goals, a research instrument was made consisting of several parameters which the instrument was distributed to the teacher and all participants. 96% confirmed that the material presented was very useful during a pandemic. This indicates that the physics demonstration presented in the form of a video can be an alternative for students of SMA Negeri 40 Jakarta in learning physics, especially in discussing physics experiments regarding the Chladni Plate Concept.   Abstrak Telah dilaksanakan pembelajaran peragaan fisika dengan tema “Eksperimen Fisika yang Bisa Dilakukan di Rumah Selama Pandemi Covid-19”.

Using new commentary from the people behind the lens blended with revealing photographs, this chapter examines the visual narrative of Bitches Brew. Although the sessions were never shot, Miles Davis was photographed just about everywhere else at the time, whether it was on stage, at home, at the gym, or driving around New York in his Ferrari. Despite his shy and difficult demeanor, Davis had a warm and sincere relationship with the camera and the people behind it. These photographers were not only able to document this period in Davis’s life, but were also able to unveil a whole other side of him.

Trips to the theatre are a regular feature of many high school language arts programs, and yet the experience of watching a play is often significantly different for a teacher than it is for a student. Placing “theatre literacy” within the context of the New London Group’s definition of multiliteracies, and drawing on the work of Lankshear and Knobel as well as audience studies theorists, this article compares how a 17 year-old girl and a 43 year-old English teacher respond to a series of plays, and considers how growing up in a wireless world shapes adolescents’ understanding of live theatre.

This study examined the relations between child rearing, prosocial moral reasoning, and prosocial behaviour. The sample consisted of 125 children (6-11 years of age) and both their parents. Child-rearing behaviour was assessed by both observations at home and interviews with the parents; prosocial moral reasoning by interviews with the children, and prosocial behaviour by questionnaires filled in by their teachers and classmates. Positive relations were found between prosocial moral reasoning and prosocial behaviour, but only for the youngest children. Children growing up in a supportive, authoritative, and less restrictive environment behaved more prosocially and reasoned at a higher level about prosocial moral issues.

AbstractObjectivePre-school nutrition-related behaviours influence diet and development of lifelong eating habits. We examined the prevalence and congruence of recommended nutrition-related behaviours (RNB) in home and early childhood education (ECE) services, exploring differences by child and ECE characteristics.DesignTelephone interviews with mothers. Online survey of ECE managers/head teachers.SettingNew Zealand.SubjectsChildren (n 1181) aged 45 months in the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal study.ResultsA mean 5·3 of 8 RNB were followed at home, with statistical differences by gender and ethnic group, but not socio-economic position. ECE services followed a mean 4·8 of 8 RNB, with differences by type of service and health-promotion programme participation. No congruence between adherence at home and in ECE services was found; half of children with high adherence at home attended a service with low adherence. A greater proportion of children in deprived communities attended a service with high adherence, compared with children living in the least deprived communities (20 and 12 %, respectively).ConclusionsChildren, across all socio-economic positions, may not experience RNB at home. ECE settings provide an opportunity to improve or support behaviours learned at home. Targeting of health-promotion programmes in high-deprivation areas has resulted in higher adherence to RNB at these ECE services. The lack of congruence between home and ECE behaviours suggests health-promotion messages may not be effectively communicated to parents/family. Greater support is required across the ECE sector to adhere to RNB and promote wider change that can reach into homes.
