FREDRICK - Adopted May 2015 CLOVER - Adopted May 2015 PAWS CHICAGO MISSION IS TO BUILD NO KILL COMMUNITIES – STARTING WITH A NO KILL CHICAGO – WHERE PETS ARE NO LONGER DESTROYED JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE HOMELESS. Since our founding in 1997, a year in which a staggering 42,561 dogs and cats were killed in Chicago, the number of homeless dogs and cats euthanized annually has dropped significantly, down 77 percent by 2014. But this drop does not mean our work is done: In 2014, 9,817 animals were still killed in Chicago and nearly 60,000 animals were killed in the state of Illinois. When will Chicago be considered a No Kill city? When we are saving every healthy and treatable animal. To reach that goal, PAWS Chicago is implementing a comprehensive No Kill model to build a No Kill Chicago. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HEALTH & BEHAVIOR Community is at the core of everything we do. Engaging the public Part of the commitment to guaranteeing life for all PAWS pets is in the cause of homeless animals and providing them with the keeping them happy, healthy and continually moving toward new information to make lifesaving choices, like adoption and spay/neuter, loving homes.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

  • ASIFA 50 on 50” (Aka “ASIFA 51 on 51”) – the Contest
    “ASIFA 50 on 50” (aka “ASIFA 51 on 51”) – the contest th inspired by the 50 anniversary of International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA) This year, a significant group of artists, producers, festival directors, animation critics and viewers can th celebrate the 50 anniversary of the creation of the International Animated Film Association (Association Internationale du Film d’Animation – ASIFA), an organization founded by Norman Mc Laren and other exceptional creators in order to unite animation artists from all around the world. th The head of the Association chose 2010 to be the year in which the 50 anniversary is celebrated. As people responsible for the International Etiuda&Anima Film Festival, which is the oldest Polish festival devoted to film education and international animation, we have decided to hold a competition together with ASIFA Poland. The international contest called “ASIFA 50 on 50” focuses on creating a list of 50 best animated shorts created during the 50 years that the Association has been active. The idea was welcomed by the ASIFA and honorary Patronage was provided by the Association President, Mr Nelson Shin from Korea, and Mr Raoul Servais from Belgium, the Honorary President of the celebration. The story is worth remembering. In the 1984, the ASIFA Hollywood decided to celebrate the Los Angeles Olympics together with the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and conducted the famous “Champions of Animation” poll. The idea first occurred to the late Fini Littlejohn, an ASIFA Hollywood member, designer and illustrator working for the Disney Studios.

  • 22 VII. the New Golden Age Then Something Wonderful Happened. Just When Everything Was Looking As Grim As It Could for the Art O
    VII. The New Golden Age Then something wonderful happened. Just when everything was looking as grim as it could for the art of animation, technology came to the rescue. Here was an art form born only because technology made it possible, almost died when the human costs in time and effort became too high, and now was rescued by technology again. The computer age saved animation. Since computers first came on the scene in the 50s, there have been people who have tried to create machinery and programs to make animation faster, easier and cheaper to both make and distribute. From machines like copiers and scanners, to computers that can draw and render, to the distribution of animation by cable, Internet, phones, tablets and video games - as one character says, “To infinity and beyond” - animation has been totally reborn. As the old animators of the Golden Age were dying off, the new technologies created a huge demand for the old craft. Fortunately, many of the old men were able to pass on their skills to a younger generation, which has helped the quality of today's animation meet and exceed the animation of the Golden Age. In 1985, Girard and Maciejewski at OSU publish a paper describing the use of inverse kinematics and dynamics for animation.! The first live-action film to feature a complete computer-animated character is released, "YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES."! Ken Perlin at NYU publishes a paper on noise functions for textures. He later applied this technique to add realism to character animations. In 1986, "A GREEK TRAGEDY" wins the Academy Award.

  • Friday 17 – Sunday 26 November 2017
    Friday 17 – Sunday 26 November 2017 www.foylefilmfestival.org WELCOME Welcome to the Foyle Film Festival – yes it is THAT time of year again. But this is an extra special time for the festival as it celebrates its 30th year. The programme has increased to 10 days in order to celebrate this milestone birthday in style with a jam-packed programme of screenings and special guest events. The festival launches with the Northern Ireland Premiere of Battle Of The Sexes – the true story of the famous tennis match between women’s world champion Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and ex–men’s champion Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell). The event became one of the most popular televised sports events of all time. The Closing Night film is The Man Who Invented Christmas and recounts how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) created Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Other highlights include the Shorts To Features Conference with special guest Jim Sheridan in conversation about his long and distinguished career. Jim Sheridan will also introduce a special screening of My Left Foot in Brunswick Moviebowl. The cult movie Withnail And I shares Foyle Film Festival’s 30th birthday celebrations this year, and the festival programme includes a special screening with Richard E. Grant in attendance to talk about this hilarious classic and his career in the film industry. The festival pays tribute to the late Sam Shepard with a screening of Days Of Heaven. In a special event following the screening, Stephen Rea and Judith Roddy will read from the short stories of Sam Shepard.
