Reduce Child Obesity: A Guide to Using The Kid s Choice Program in
School and at Home provides school leaders with a practical guide
for applying the Kid's Choice Program (KCP), which is a
school-based program to promote healthy behaviors and reduce the
risk of child obesity. The KCP Guide may also be used by health
researchers to document the program's effectiveness. The KCP was
researched with 1000+ school-age children and documented to be
easy-to-use, low in cost (at $2 per child per month), and effective
for increasing weight management behaviors in children (eating
fruits and vegetables, choosing low-fat and low-sugar drinks,
exercising daily). Research also documents that the KCP improves
weight status in overweight children (for intervention) and
normal-weight children (for prevention). Additionally, the program
improves diets of children who are picky eaters. The KCP can be
delivered by small teams of 2-4 volunteers (such as parents) after
five minutes of training. It uses simple procedures (children wear
nametags, "stars" punched in nametags when children choose healthy
behaviors, weekly Reward Days let children trade "stars" for small
prizes). The KCP is well-accepted by children, parents, and school
staff. For more information on the KCP, please visit

"Rewriting the Thirties" questions the myth of the
'anti-modernist' decade. Conversely, the editors argue it is a
symptomatic, transitional phase between modern and post-modern
writing and politics, at a time of cultural and technological
change.
The text reconsiders some of the leading writers of the period in
the light of recent theoretical developments, through essays on the
ambivalent assimilation of Modernist influences, among proletarian
and canonical novelists including James Barke and George Orwell,
and among poets including Auden, MacNeice, Swingler and Bunting,
and in the work of feminist writers Vera Brittain and Winifred
Holtby. In this substantial remapping, the complexity and scope of
literary-critical debate at the time is discussed in relation to
theatrical innovation, audience attitudes to the mass medium of
modernity - cinema - the poetics of suburbia, consumerism and
national ideology, as well as the discursive strategies of British
and American documentarism.

Investigates how the cinematic tendency of Joyce's writing
developed from media predating film In this book, Keith Williams
explores Victorian culture's emergent 'cinematicity' as a key
creative driver of Joyce's experimental fiction, showing how
Joyce's style and themes share the cinematograph's roots in
Victorian optical entertainment and science. The book reveals
Joyce's references to optical toys, shadowgraphs, magic lanterns,
panoramas, photographic analysis and film peepshows. Close analyses
of his works show how his techniques elaborated and critiqued their
effects on modernity's 'media-cultural imaginary'.
Examining writers from Auden to Priestley, this study argues that the 1930s, remembered usually for uncomplicated political engagement, can rather be seen as initiating the key elements of post-modernism, developing the individuals's sense of "elsewhere" through new technology of representation and propaganda. The book analyzes the relationship between the leftist writers of the decade and the mass-media, showing how newspapers, radio and film were treated in their writing, and how they reshaped its forms, assumptions and imagery.
