My wife Clare and son Joe. The family is the most informal - but simultaneously the most essential - learning environment of all, which we enter literally from the first moment of life.

Achieved through editing choices such as jingles and slogans, in ‘The UK’s Only Official Chart Show’ listeners are persuaded to feel like they really are listening to the ‘the best in new music’.
Additionally, scripting choices, such as the use of the second person pronoun ‘this is your number one album’ directly addresses the listeners, involving them in the show. The show’s gossipy angle appeals to female audiences. The affective response is familiarizing both male and female
The show relies on the UK’s pop music culture and the related practice of purchasing music. Some audiences will listen actively to The Charts Show, for example, young teenagers. This is because the 15 to 30 target age group lets them know the singles and albums their peers are listening to. Through this we can see how the radio show exerts social influence.
The idea of ‘diversion’ relates to very familiar notions of escapism, fantasy, relaxation and so on that can be located around media use. Primary reasons why we may wish to listen to music may relate to pure pleasure or a desire to escape everyday life.

The Bryant-Denny football stadium at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. Population of Tuscaloosa: approximately 90,000. Capacity of stadium: 102,000. I don't think most people realise just how massive college sports really is in the US.
We may use media forms as a basis for the way to act in personal situations. For instance, pop songs may teach us about the rules and rituals of romance and emotions, teen soaps about being an adolescent. Knowledge of and consumption of particular types of media may open doors for us in terms of personal relationships. To some extent, too, media forms may offer us surrogate
sociability and relationships.

Great Gray Owl - Strix nebulosa2 of 4
The owl in the rear is "standing tall" trying to make itself invisible and blend into the spruce tree. While this image does not show the surroundings well, the owl was actually succeeding quite well.
The owl in the front has turned its head and is focusing its facial discs and eyes on a deer mouse. Its body is much more round as its focus is not on hiding from people but on eating!
So - which one is female?
Whooo knows!
The Great Gray Owl expresses very little sexual dimorphism (differences); however, the female is larger. This is always hard to tell in the field as you need 2 owls to know which one is bigger (and hope that you get separate sexes!).
These owls are photographed in captivity (they have broken wings). Even in captivity it is difficult.
So I can not tell you their sexes!
While Great Gray Owls are not considered an endangered species. there is great concern about the loss of the Boreal Forest (their home):
