Caradog W. James directs this British sci-fi drama starring Toby Stephens and Caity Lotz. Top scientist Vincent (Stephens) works for the Ministry of Defence on a project aimed at producing a weapon equipped with advanced artificial intelligence. Vincent quickly enlists the help of Ava (Lotz), an expert on A.I., and the combination of their skills proves fruitful indeed. Such is the chemistry between Vincent and Ava that they begin a romantic relationship, which leads Vincent to confide to his partner that the conscious machine they've constructed together shares certain similarities with his ill daughter. This seems certain to cause problems when MOD bigwig Thomson (Denis Lawson) uses his authority to move the project in a different direction and Vincent loses control of his creation...

From a plantation ledger, an abandoned graveyard, a fragile manuscript, and old newspapers, author Mary Helen Griffin Halloran has raised the bones of her ancestors and made them come alive in this memoir that traces the history of five generations of her Mississippi family.

In A Mississippi Family, Halloran has painted a backdrop to the life the family lived. The story begins with the life and times of three men: Jonas Griffin (1762-1815), his son Francis Griffin (1800-1865), and his son Judge John Bettis Griffin (1826-1903). It ends with portraits of two remarkable women, Judge John's daughters, Mary Lane Griffin (1858-1942) and Helen Knight Griffin (1864-1949). The stories of these five people, whose fates and values shaped the lives of their children, capture the early history of the Mississippi Delta, Warren and Washington Counties, and the town of Greenville.

Telling tales of river journeys and life on southern plantations, Halloran's meticulous research has provided a record of her fascinating family saga at a crucial period in the history of the county, state, and nation.

This hands-on guide supports primary teachers and other school staff in challenging gender stereotypes, and sets out advice on how to implement gender equality and respect in the curriculum, and in all areas of school life. An increase in the number of transgender children - and a recognition of gender reassignment as a protected characteristic under the 2010 Equality Act - means that all primary schools need to ensure they are safe environments respectful of all genders. This book draws on the 'Gender Respect Project', which identified the need to address gender stereotyping and gender-based violence with children and young people. The book is full of lesson plans, case studies, clear guidance and recommended actions as well as further reading and resources. Extending beyond awareness of other genders, this book provides a framework for a gender equality approach in the classroom, and empowers children to think critically about gender and to respect themselves and others.
