  • Executive Director
    Executive Director www.riverton.org www.ballingerleafblad.com Executive Director of Riverton Community Housing Ballinger|Leafblad is pleased to conduct the search for Executive Director at Riverton Community Housing, a student housing cooperative in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW Riverton Community Housing exists to assist in making the pursuit of student’s educational goals more accessible. With the trend on college campuses toward “luxury” apartment buildings with high rents, Riverton Community Housing is committed to providing a cooperative housing model to provide quality, affordable housing to students at the University of Minnesota and other schools in the area. Co-op housing is member-controlled housing. Residents who live here are members, not “tenants”. Every year the membership elects a board of directors that governs the co-op. The board makes decisions regarding budget planning and building improvements in addition to planning social and cultural events for co-op members. Everyone can participate! As a premiere network of student housing cooperatives in North America, Riverton has a strong record of teaching and leading college students toward the housing cooperative model. As a nonprofit, Riverton provides both a hands-on educational experience for student leaders, and a financial model that offers attractive rental rates in well-maintained properties. ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY In 1945, as soldiers returned to the University of Minnesota, 30 veterans sought to create a social venture where affordable meals would be served. This entity became known as the Chateau Co-op Dining Club. In addition to meals, the Club included a recreation room with table tennis and pool tables, a TV room and a reading lounge.

  • The Top Five Films You Did Not Know Were Based on Roald Dahl Stories
    The top five films you didn’t know were based on Roald Dahl stories Many Roald Dahl stories have been turned into family film favourites that we know and love, but did you know there’s more than just the books? Roald Dahl is responsible for a number of classic screenplays and storylines that we wouldn’t normally associate him with. Here’s five of our favourites, which you can enjoy once again on the big screen as part of Roald Dahl on Film: 1. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Roald Dahl was responsible for the screenplay of this truly magical, musical film. In fact, it was Roald Dahl that added in the Child Catcher as an extra character – so he’s responsible for giving us all those nightmares when we were small! 2. 36 hours This war movie released in 1965 was based on the short story ‘Beware of the Dog’ by Roald Dahl, which was first published in Harper’s Magazine in 1946. The story was also said to have influenced television series, The Prisoner. 3. You Only Live Twice The screenplay of this James Bond classic was another of Roald Dahl’s after he was approached by James Bond producers, Harry Saltzman and Albert Broccoli. The screenplay was the first to stray from Ian Fleming’s original story, as Roald Dahl famously said that the original wasn’t Fleming’s best work. 4. Gremlins The 1984 Steven Spielberg film Gremlins features characters developed from one of Roald Dahl’s earliest books, The Gremlins. In fact, there’s every chance that it was Roald Dahl’s first ever book for children! It impressed his bosses at the British Embassy so much that they sent it to Walt Disney to make into a feature film.

  • Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows
    Accessible Arts Calendar Summary 2019 Current Venues and Shows Updated 9-4-19 – The VSA Minnesota Accessible Arts Calendar lists arts events that proactively offer accessibility accommodations such as: ASL (American Sign Language Interpreting), AD (Audio Description), CC (Closed Captioning), OC (Open or Scripted Captioning), DIS (performers with disabilities), or SENS (Sensory-friendly accommodations) which are inclusive for children on the autism spectrum. The main Accessible Arts Calendar listings (emailed monthly through August 2019 and online at http://vsamn.org/community/calendar) offer descriptions of shows, authors, directors, describer & interpreter names, ticket prices, discounts, dates for Pay What You Can (PWYC), and more. This Current Venues and Shows list supplements the Accessible Arts Calendar. On our website as a Resource under Community (http://vsamn.org/community/resources-community/), it summarizes shows at arts venues across Minnesota: plays, concerts, exhibits, films, storytelling, etc. It’s limited to what we learn about and have time to include. The venues are organized alphabetically by Twin Cities venues and then by Greater Minnesota venues. They may offer accessible performances proactively or upon request. Words in GREEN identify some accessibility accommodations. We assume all auditoriums and bathrooms are wheelchair-accessible and theatres with fixed seating have assistive listening devices, unless noted otherwise. Both calendars will be discontinued after September 2019 when VSA Minnesota ceases operation.

Findings show that social infotainment and social companionship are the primary motivations of social TV participation. However, only social infotainment significantly pre- dicts the intensity of viewers’ social TV usage, which has a positive influence on program commitment and network loyalty. Additionally, the relationship between social TV usage and network loyalty is partially mediated by program commitment. These findings demonstrate the value of social TV to broad- casters and provide directions for initiating and maintaining long-term relation- ships with viewers.
