RUDYARD KIPLING - Rudyard Kipling, England's most distinguished modern poet, achieved fame for his vivid word paintings of the exotic east. But for Kipling, the east wasn't the 'other'; it was home.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - the four most iconic names in pop music; though they began parting ways as a band in 1969, it became official in April of 1970, ten years after their formation as the Beatles. This program examines the phenomenon that was Beatlemania; then documents each musical artist's life after being part of the most popular group in music history. Some blame the break-up on John for forming the Plastic Ono Band with his wife Yoko Ono; though Paul also sought more time with his family and a chance to pursue a solo career, which he did in creating a group, Wings, with his wife, Linda. George went on to not only produce a hit album, "All Things Must Pass"; but also he collaborated with Ravi Shankar, set up "Hand Made Films," which produced the Monty Python movies, and teamed up with Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, as the Travelling Wilburys. Ringo went on to produce solo albums, did some acting, and later narrated the popular children's TV series, "Thomas the Tank Engine." After John was murdered in 1980, the remaining Beatles put their differences asides and collaborated on a documentary series called "The Beatles Anthology," which featured two previously unheard songs written by John Lennon - "Real Love" and "Free as a Bird." Despite Linda McCartney's death from breast cancer in 1998, and George's death from lung cancer in 2001, Paul and Ringo, both in their 70s, have battled tribulations to carry on successful careers performing individually.

You're stupid! You're a baby! As we all know, name-calling is one of many inappropriate ways that children express themselves when they're feeling angry or frustrated. To the child on the receiving end of name-calling it can be a painful experience. This program focuses on the reasons for name-calling and how it affects others. Viewers also learn how to be more assertive so they can stop others from calling them names. Children who don't have an available repertoire of social and coping skills can easily turn to violence, anger or self-harm when they face an upsetting or vulnerable situation. Conversely, when we help kids learn and develop positive social and coping skills, we provide them with alternatives that can help turn problem situations into positive outcomes.
