Following graduation with a Master's Degree from the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communications, David Paperny took a position with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Toronto in 1983, first as a researcher and then as a producer. In 1989, he moved to Vancouver to produce documentaries for the CBC, which included 1993's The Broadcast Tapes of Dr. Peter which earned Paperny an Academy Award nomination in 1994. That same year David Paperny along with his wife and fellow Annenberg graduate Audrey Mehler established Paperny Films. From an original staff of two Paperny Films has grown over the years to include a permanent staff of eighteen with an additional 100-200 production staff on contract at any given time. Currently, Paperny Films has seven productions running simultaneously and is considered to be one of the busiest West coast production companies. In 2006 Paperny's production budget totaled more than $9 million. Since its inception Paperny Films has adopted a rather broad scope of programming. The material includes in-depth profiles of well-known Canadians including Mordecai Richler, Jimmy Pattison, Nancy Greene, and Henry Morgentaler. Productions have included historical documentaries with subjects such as the history of British Columbia, the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, the Holocaust, the Canadian war experience during World War II and the Korean War and the history of the Canadian airline industry; science documentaries showcasing Canadian medical research; social documentaries on arranged marriages in the Canadian Sikh community and Canadian emigration to the United States; sports documentaries, lifestyle documentaries; the Canadian business establishment and the black market trade in human organs. Reality series in this collection examine the issues of being single in Vancouver and the experience of functioning as a surrogate mother. Until the creation in 2006 of a documentary intended for theatre release, the market for Paperny productions was exclusively television. Networks that have purchased broadcast rights to Paperny productions include; CBC, CTV, Discovery Health, Global, History Television, the Independent Film Channel, Life Network, LOGO, Slice TV. While many of the productions have a uniquely Canadian subject matter and they tell important stories the Canadian experience they also have a resonance that extends far beyond this country's national borders. Paperny Films continues to contribute to the growing Vancouver film and television sector. Scope and Content The fonds consists of 44 separate archival series most of which are based on specific production titles. For each title there is a digital master copy of the program(s). Each production includes a set of video and audio elements, the bulk of which are original shoot tapes. In addition there is also corresponding textual material that helps provide context and background for the development of the various projects. The textual and a/v materials have been described in separate sections of the inventory. For both sets of material the numbers assigned during the original cataloguing and creation of the database have been retained and appear in square brackets [ ] as part of the descriptions to allow for cross referencing as necessary. First donation: This donation is Paperny Film's first to an archival repository and it represents 27 of the company's indigenous proprietary titles (1996-2004) of their approximately 55 non- fiction productions (1996-2007).

There are over 1,000 hours of video recordings featuring prominent Canadian including Mortecai Richler, Henry Morgentaler, Jimmy Pattison, and Nancy Green. In addition to the obvious importance of providing access to full interview interviews with and about prominent Canadians, the a/v elements are also quite instructive in helping communicate an understanding of the creative process that gave rise to particular productions. The textual material extents to approximately 5.15 metres and also includes over 13,000 photographic images. The images document the various production shoots and, in some cases, include copies of historical photographs/documents that were used in the productions. Examples of the types of records included with the textual material include: treatments, outlines, synopses, proposals; collected research materials; correspondence relating to development, production, publicity; original interview notes and transcripts, interview schedules; scripts (and drafts), storyboards; production schedules, production reports and daily call sheets; publicity stills, negatives, transparencies and digital photographs; marketing plans, publicity packages, one-sheets, press releases and coverage; transcripts of completed shows; EDL's (edited decision list), assembly notes, tape logs; credit rolls, final credits and super lists.

    432 W. Pender Vancouver BC Independently Owned & Operated. The following guide is meant to give you an idea of how to put together a resume that you can use to apply for bartending jobs. The restaurant & bar industry is not a very formal industry. A lot of the rules you would learn about in university etc.. about putting together a resume don't apply. For example; if you were applying to a law firm to be a lawyer, you would expect your potential employer to read every word of your 3 page CV, call all your references, etc.. Obviously you wouldn't trim your accomplishments down to 1 page, but thats whats expected of you in the bar industry. Your goal when writing a resume for the bar industry is to make your points quickly. Bar managers spend 5 - 10 seconds skimming over your resume, and call references less than 50% of the time. Many managers would rather you come in and work 1 night and see how you do, than spend 10 minutes calling your references. Point being, the restaurant world is much different than most when it comes to building a resume. We hope our 5 tips will give you a good idea of how to get started. 1 The Basics How many pages do you think a resume should be? In the hospitality world, the correct answer is 1. In my own experience going through hundreds of resumes over the years, I found myself looking at a resume for about 5-10 seconds before deciding if I should invite someone in for an interview, or toss it in the trash.

    INTRODUCTION “So a Guy Walks Into a Bar and Asks the Bartender…..”

    Bartender Tips, Tricks and Drink Recipes INTRODUCTION “So a guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender…..” How many jokes have you heard start out that way. The bartender is the main focus of any commercial bar. Forget about the waitresses. Sure they bring the drinks, but the bartender has to make them. Forget about the fry cooks serving up greasy fries. It‟s the bartender who has made you crave them. Bartenders have enjoyed a long and storied history. They are the psychiatrists that you don‟t have to have an appointment for. They are the ones you hear all the best jokes from. They are the ones who show you the neatest bar tricks to impress your friends. The bartender, for some people, is the best friend they never had. Tending bar is more than just pouring a cold draught beer or mixing up a mean screwdriver. With all the new drink combinations out these days, bartenders must be up on all the new terminology not to mention having the ability to mix up an Alabama Slammer without looking in the recipe book. Bartending schools are popping up all over the country. Lured by the enticement of cash tips for serving the drunken public, bartending has been elevated to an art form. When the movie “Cocktail” came out, bartenders sought out the ability to twirl bottles and throw them up in the air as the bottle pours a perfect shot before it lands softly in their hand. Few can argue this is something not the everyday Joe can do.

It is aimed at trying to better understand the Calgary School and Alexis de Tocqueville. This thesis tries to address a lack of literature on the Calgary School, there is a lack of literature on them and oftentimes they are dismissed out of hand by left-leaning scholars and critics. This project is not an apology for the Calgary School merely to better understand their ideas and the influences behind them. To accomplish this goal three different themes are used that correspond to the first three chapters of this thesis.
