The U.S. Census Bureau is providing easy-to-use resources for parents and caregivers. • Home and Distance Learning Activities page: The Statistics in Schools (SIS) website has a new page dedicated to at-home and distance learning. The page provides a variety of resources and materials — videos, fun facts, warmup activities, and more — for various grade levels that are easy to use at home. SIS resources help students bring census data to life and learn more about their community, state, and country. These materials will help parents and caregivers ensure that their children are engaged, learning, and having fun during this time. As appropriate, use this link to share the new page with educators and families in your state. • Response Rate Map: Students can stay up to date on how many people in their community have completed the census. Tell parents and caregivers they can use the response rate map with students at home to complete the following activities: Check the map each day for the latest completion rates for their state or community and create a chart or other graphic to track the increases. Track how their community’s response rate compares to the rates of other communities in the state or compare their state to other states. Use social media to encourage friends and family to complete the 2020 Census. Students can motivate others by sharing the response rates map and using Census Bureau images created for social media. If students are too young to have their own social media accounts, you may want to specify that this should be done by an adult. • Participate online community: If educators are interested in connecting with others using SIS resources in their at-home lessons, they can join the SIS community on the Participate platform, the online community. This is an excellent way to get new ideas, resources, and personalized support from Statistics in Schools. MAPS Air Museum offers free videos for American history The MAPS Air Museum is located in Green, Ohio. It has aligned three videos to the high school American history standards. • Presentation 1: Change. This program was designed to support Ohio American History Content Statement 21. It deals with how World War II changed American society or started the process of change. As World War II caused us to face underlying bias, prejudice and, in some cases, hatred for specific segments of our own population, the program addressed how the “norms” of American society were altered. Specifically, the program addresses change for four groups: African Americans, Native Americans, Japanese Americans and women. Also included in the program is how the concept of wartime rationing impacted an entire generation of Americans. • Presentation 2: History. This video was designed to support Ohio American History Content Statement 3. This, — perhaps the most difficult of all history standards to teach — requires students to examine history, not just in terms of isolated events but to bring together all of the historical strands that lead up to an event from multiple perspectives to understand WHY events occur. The event that is covered in this video is one that students should be familiar with in their studies of history – the attack on the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The video looks at that event not only from the perspective of the United States but also from the perspective of the Empire of Japan. • Presentation 3: Isolationism. This video was designed to support instruction dealing with Ohio American History Content Statement 20, which addresses the concept of Isolationism. While specifically focused on our non- interventionist leanings between World War I and World War II, it also looks at the history of isolationism from the founding of this nation. In addition, it examines how countries and other world leaders of the period between the wars could have interpreted our non-interventionist tendencies. Ohio museums with virtual programming, education activities, tours and events In response to COVID-19, many museums across Ohio are offering virtual programming through online education activities, tours and livestream events that can be enjoyed outside of museum walls. Celebrating 100 years of women’s suffrage The 19th amendment that granted women the right to vote was ratified Aug. 18, 1920, and Ohio is celebrating this event. Classroom resources from the National Archives, Library of Congress, National Park Service, PBS and Smithsonian can be found on the Women’s Vote Centennial website. The Ohio History Connection’s exhibit, Ohio Women Vote: 100 Years of Change, is a traveling exhibit and available for schools and other organizations. The Ohio Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission webpage has a list of events occurring throughout the year. Other opportunities College Board updates plans for the Advanced Placement exam administrations for Spring 2020 The College Board has determined that the traditional face-to-face Advanced Placement tests will not take place this spring. There will be two different testing dates for each AP subject. The full exam schedule, specific free-response question types that will be on each AP Exam and additional testing details will be available by April 3. The College Board is developing secure 45-minute online exams for each course. The exam content will focus on what most schools should have been able to complete by early-March. Beginning Wednesday, March 25, students will have access to free, live AP review lessons, delivered by AP teachers from across the country. These classes will also be available on-demand, so teachers and students can access them at any time. All of this information and any updates can be found on the Advanced Placement exam administrations web page.

With one picture, the first one sees it as spots on a giraffe. The second one sees it as eyes and a nose when you turn it around at 90 degrees. The third one sees it as a close-up of Swiss cheese. The fourth one sees it as two balloons playing catch. It all depends on how you look at it. The four LeVars look at a couple more eye riddles. Many people see many things in different ways. Besides having a unique way of seeing things, people's other senses are unique too. LeVar loves coming Arthurs Eyes the farmer's bazaar because he gets surrounded by all kinds of sights, smells, and textures. He challenges the viewers' eyes at seeing Arthurs Eyes of certain fruits and vegetables. The things the viewers see are viewed through a special camera lens. Some people use special lenses to see things, especially when they can't see well. LeVar explains, "I wear glasses, and sometimes I wear contact lenses. A different color blindness, unlike with your eyes, has something to do with your mind. It has nothing to do with what you see, but how you see it. LeVar has a flipbook he made himself. The picture changes each time you turn a page. Flipping the pages faster looks like a moving film.

INTRODUCTION The collections of the Austin History Center contain valuable materials about Austin’s African American communities, although there is much that remains to be documented. The materials in this bibliography are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This bibliography is one in a series of updates of the original 1979 bibliography. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals and support groups. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the online computer catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing collection holdings by author, title, and subject. These entries, although indexing ended in the 1990s, lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be time-consuming to find and could be easily overlooked.

  • The Animation Industry: Technological Changes, Production Challenges, and Global Shifts
    THE ANIMATION INDUSTRY: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES, PRODUCTION CHALLENGES, AND GLOBAL SHIFTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hyejin Yoon, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Edward J. Malecki, Adviser Professor Nancy Ettlinger Adviser Graduate Program in Geography Professor Darla K. Munroe ABSTRACT Animated films have grown in popularity as expanding markets (such as TV and video) and new technologies (notably computer graphics imagery) have broadened both the production and consumption of cartoons. As a consequence, more animated films are produced and watched in more places, as new “worlds of production” have emerged. The animation production system, specialized and distinct from film production, relies on different technologies and labor skills. Therefore, its globalization has taken place differently from live-action film production, although both are structured to a large degree by the global production networks (GPNs) of the media conglomerates. This research examines the structure and evolution of the animation industry at the global scale. In order to investigate these, 4,242 animation studios from the Animation Industry Database are used. The spatial patterns of animation production can be summarized as, 1) dispersion of the animation industry, 2) concentration in world cities, such as Los Angeles and New York, 3) emergence of specialized animation cities, such as Annecy and Angoulême in France, and 4) significant concentrations of animation studios in some Asian countries, such as India, South Korea and the Philippines. In order to understand global production networks (GPNs), networks of studios in 20 cities are analyzed.
