Discover the fascinating life of a master of 19th century art and design William Morris was a man of extraordinary diversity and application, turning his attention to the mastery of as many skills in one lifetime as most men would achieve in several. He became an artist in oils, stained glass and ceramic tiles, a weaver, decorator, textile designer, calligrapher, type designer, typesetter, bookbinder, printer, novelist, poet and lecturer. One of his most influential concepts embraced the ‘small is beautiful’ ideal: suppose people lived in little communities ... and had few wants; almost no furniture for instance, and no servants, and studied ... what they really wanted. Then, Morris felt, life might begin to take on its proper form. He was unquestionably one of the first conservationists. Certainly, a century later, his ideas and his designs are still valued and enjoyed by people everywhere.

Practitioners need help keeping up to speed with the latest developments in the Early Years. Updated in line with current policy and practice, this new edition fully reflects the Early Years Foundation Stage themes, principles, commitments and guidance and recognises the importance of play as a context for teaching, learning and assessment. With explicit links to the EYFS learning and development grids and the early learning goals, it includes practical guidance and ideas on: creating stimulating learning environments indoors and out planning exciting focus activities and experiences responding to children''s individual interests and supporting personalised learning sound observational practice and how to assess children''s learning and development within the EYFS framework developing genuine partnerships with parents and learning links with home. Incorporating ''Key Points for Good Practice'' within each chapter, and direct links to the EYFS ''Principles into Practice'' cards as well as EYP standards, this is a key text for all practitioners working with children in the later stages of the Early Years Foundation Stage. It is also ideal for students pursuing Qualified Teacher Status in the Early Years and Early Years Professional Status, and for those enrolled in courses in Early Childhood Studies and Foundation Degrees in Early Years.

Health curriculum traditionally (re)produces obesity discourse, a fusion of biomedical and moral perspectives of weight and fat. This weight-centered approach to bodies may perpetuate weight stigmatization, indirectly supports a culture of thinness, and contradicts other health messages concerning bodies. A Health At Every Size ® (HAES® ) approach is an alternative, multidimensional health-centered approach that can reconcile the incongruent messages in obesity and eating disorder discourses and may reduce weight stigmatization. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a college personal health curriculum module to promote healthy bodies of all sizes. Discourse positions of teaching assistants were explored through interviews and provided an understanding of their values and teaching methods regarding weight and health. A HAES ® -based curriculum module was developed for college personal health classes at a Midwestern university. Quasi-experimental design was used to compare attitudes toward HAES ® principles among students who received the alternative, HAES ® -based curriculum module versus those receiving a traditional weight management curriculum. Pre- and posttest attitudes of students and teaching assistants were assessed using the Health and Weight Attitudes Scale developed for this study. Teaching assistants provided evaluation of the HAES ® module in a focus group. While teaching assistants'' discourse positions varied, most used obesity discourse to talk and teach about bodies and weight. Alternative discourses were most common when teaching assistants discussed eating disorders or body image. Students'' attitudes at pre-test were slightly positive and did not differ significantly between comparison and intervention groups. Intervention group students'' attitudes were significantly more positive than comparison group students'' attitudes at posttest. Intervention group teaching assistants reported primarily positive experiences with the module. Teaching assistants rely primarily on obesity discourse to teach about weight and bodies but are receptive and positive when offered an alternative method. A HAES ® curriculum module can increase positive attitudes of students and teaching assistants toward promotion of size acceptance and multidimensional health for people of all sizes.

Bunyaviruses are a large family of enveloped RNA viruses that are distributed globally and include many important human and agricultural pathogens. Compared with other pathogenic viruses, bunyaviruses are relatively understudied. Currently, there are no licensed vaccines or antivirals to treat bunyavirus infections in the United States. To better understand bunyavirus interactions with their mammalian hosts in the hopes of uncovering novel therapeutic targets, we utilized a forward genetic screening approach in a human haploid cell line (HAP1). We performed insertional mutagenesis of the HAP1 cells with a retroviral gene-trap vector and subsequently challenged the cells with recombinant vesicular stomatitis viruses (rVSV) encoding heterologous glycoproteins from representative bunyaviruses, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) and Andes virus (ANDV). The use of rVSV-SFTSV and rVSV-ANDV allows us to specifically interrogate the early steps of bunyavirus entry, as replication of VSV is uniformly cytotoxic. Selection of cells resistant to rVSV-SFTSV or rVSV-ANDV and sequencing of mutagenic integrations sites identified genes important for virus entry. For SFTSV, the synthesis of the glycolipid glucosylceramide was found to play a role in the proper trafficking and/or fusion of incoming virus particles. Selection with rVSV-ANDV uncovered a profound dependence upon cholesterol synthesis and a requirement for cholesterol in membranes for efficient internalization and fusion. In addition to discovering novel aspects of bunyavirus biology, both of these cellular pathways have FDA approved pharmacological inhibitors and future studies aim to determine whether these factors can serve as targets for antiviral intervention.
