  • Adventures in Animation Go Behind the Scenes of Your Favorite Pixar Films in This Interactive Exhibition!
    JUNE – JULY 2015 Sparks!A Newsletter for Members and Friends of the Museum of Science Adventures in Animation Go behind the scenes of your favorite Pixar films in this interactive exhibition! ovie theater audiences became witnesses to a filmmaking revolution Min late 1995 when Pixar Animation Studios released Toy Story. The movie was the first of its kind—a feature-length computer-animated production, and critics as well as the general public were enthralled to see something so fresh and groundbreaking on the big screen. Nearly 20 years and 14 highly successful films later, Pixar continues to impress and delight. While people throughout the world enjoy these films, the science and technology behind them remains a mystery for many. This will change in late June when the Museum hosts the world premiere of The Science Behind Pixar, our newest temporary exhibition. “The interactive exhibition gives people the opportunity to learn about the jobs our filmmakers do every day and tackle similar problems,” says Ed Catmull, president of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios. “It’s a great demonstration of how much creativity and imagination is involved in the science, technology, engineering, art, and math thinking essential to our filmmaking process.” Inside This Issue What It Takes to be a 3-D Animator! • Making Movie Magic The Science Behind Pixar takes you through the production pipeline as you see how your favorite characters like Buzz • Let’s Celebrate July 4th!

  • Canadian Mine Accused of Causing Skin Infections
    Fuente: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7934513.stm Por el link: http://www.business-humanrights.org Canadian mine accused of causing skin infections By Bill Law Reporter, Radio 4 Crossing Continents The photographs are disturbing, Mayans young and old covered in blisters and welts. Anti-mining activists say the rashes result from water polluted by a giant open-pit gold mine located in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. Marlin Mine is owned and operated by a large Canadian corporation called Goldcorp. The company strongly denies any link between their operation - which in a hot gold market is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week - and the ill health of the Mayans. Responding to the charge, the company said in a statement: "Comprehensive sampling conducted by the technical staff of the Public Ministry in Guatemala as well as by the Marlin environmental department has confirmed that river water quality is not adversely impacted by mine operations." RADIO 4: CROSSING CONTINENTS Bill Brassington heads a Canadian union pension fund that invests in Goldcorp and has seen the pictures taken by a North American non- governmental organisation called Rights Action. He points out that Rights Action has no medical evidence to support its claims. Still, as an ethical investor he is worried. Assessing Impact Besides the rashes, Goldcorp has been accused by some Guatemalan campaign groups and NGOs of unfair land purchase practices, human rights Unease over Guatemalan gold rush violations and environmental damage to the area surrounding the mine. Critics also say the company is taking huge amounts of profit out of impoverished indigenous communities and putting very little back in.

  • Tipperary News Part 6
    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.

This was not always the case. Women in particular were excluded from many areas of public discourse. Reaching back into the 19th century, the distinction between public and private spheres was an ideological one. As men moved out of the home to work and acquired increasing power, the public world inhabited by men became identified with influence and control, the private with moral value and support.

  • 29Th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios by Bob Quinn If Brian
    29th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios By Bob Quinn If Brian Dobson, Irish Television’s chief male newsreader had been sacked for his recent breach of professional ethics, pigs would surely have taken to the air over Dublin. Dobson, was exposed as doing journalistic nixers i.e. privately helping to train Health Board managers in the art of responding to hard media questions – from such as Mr. Dobson. When his professional bilocation was revealed he came out with his hands up – live, by phone, on a popular RTE evening radio current affairs programme – said he was sorry, that he had made a wrong call. If long-standing Staff Guidelines had been invoked, he might well have been sacked. Immediately others confessed, among them Sean O’Rourke, presenter of the station’s flagship News At One. He too, had helped train public figures, presumably in the usual techniques of giving soft answers to hard questions. Last year O’Rourke, on the live news, rubbished the arguments of the Chairman of Primary School Managers against allowing advertisers’ direct access to schoolchildren. O’Rourke said the arguments were ‘po-faced’. It transpires that many prominent Irish public broadcasting figures are as happy with part-time market opportunities as Network 2’s rogue builder, Dustin the Turkey, or the average plumber in the nation’s black economy. National radio success (and TV failure) Gerry Ryan was in the ‘stable of stars’ run by Carol Associates and could command thousands for endorsing a product. Pop music and popcorn cinema expert Dave Fanning lucratively opened a cinema omniplex.
