  • TV Makes Pay-TV History by Becoming the First Service Provider in Finland to Offer Customisable Service Packages
    PlusTV Makes Pay-TV History By Becoming The First Service Provider In Finland To Offer Customisable Service Packages At the same time, the company signs new channel agreements with KinoTV and Disney Channel 29 August 2008 - PlusTV is the only service provider in Finland to launch a service package with contents freely customisable by the customer. Customisable pay-TV packages have been one of the most requested services in PlusTV’s customer satisfaction surveys. The number of pay-TV channels offered by PlusTV will also increase to 13 with the signing of new channel agreements with KinoTV and Disney Channel. PlusTV has listened to its customers and launched a new service package that allows customers to customise their channel package to best suit their life situation. According to a recent survey conducted by PlusTV, potential pay-TV customer target groups saw the inability to freely choose and customise their service packages as the greatest obstacle to making the purchase (Purchase Process Survey, January 2008). PlusTV takes the wishes of its customers seriously. Therefore, we are now offering them the chance to build their very own pay-TV package and choose the package size that best suits their life situation. “We are constantly evaluating the wishes of our customers through surveys and customer panels, and we are seeking to develop our products to meet these needs,” comments Vesa Mars, CEO, PlusTV. “Only by listening to our customers have we been able to nearly triple pay-TV penetration and reach over 280,000 subscribers.” PlusTV’s new packages come in three different sizes with three different prices.

DIRECTORA: Carmen Pérez Ríu 1. Resumen en español Los personajes de dibujos animados de televisión representan modelos ejemplares para la audiencia infantil. Para analizar cómo influyen en la construcción del género, hemos desarrollado un estudio cualitativo sobre la percepción que los y las más pequeñas tienen de estas figuras, en base a las respuestas a un cuestionario de una clase de tercero de Primaria (8-9 años) de un colegio público de la Comunidad de Madrid. Los resultados muestran la conformidad de los varones con las referencias que aparecen en las series infantiles que se emiten en España y la insatisfacción de las niñas respecto a las representaciones femeninas en la pequeña pantalla. De ahí se extrapola la necesidad de crear nuevas figuras para que las chicas puedan encontrar con quién identificarse y avanzar así hacia una sociedad más igualitaria. 2. Resumen en inglés Television animation characters function as role models for their young audience. In this study we have administered a questionnaire, about the perception of those referents, to a class of 8-9 year-old children (3rd year in the Spanish primary education system) from a public school of the autonomous community of Madrid (Spain).

  • 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.

    DIVISION OF LABOR STANDARDS ENFORCEMENT Department of Industrial Relations State of California BY: DAVID L. GURLEY (Bar No. 194298) 455 Golden Gate Ave., 9th Floor San Francisco, CA 94102 Telephone: (415) 703-4863 Attorney for the Labor Commissioner BEFORE THE LABOR COMMISSIONER OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HILARIO MIRAVALLES, Case No. TAC 33-99 Petitioner, vs. DETERMINATION OF CONTROVERSY ARTISTS, INC., Respondent . INTRODUCTION The above-captioned petition was filed on September 3, 1999 by HILARIO MIRAVALLES (hereinafter "Petitioner" or “MIRAVALLES”), alleging that ARTISTS, INC., operated by Vice President, Thad Weinlein, (hereinafter “Respondent” or “Weinlein”), acted as an unlicensed talent agency in violation of Labor Code §1700.51. Petitioner seeks a determination from the Labor Commissioner voiding a 1997 written agreement ab initio, and seeks disgorgement of all consideration collected by respondent stemming from this agreement. 1 All statutory citations will refer to the California Labor Code unless otherwise specified. Respondent was served with a copy of the petition on September 28, 1999. Respondent filed his answer with this agency on October 29, 1999, defending on the position that the respondent did not act an agent, but rather acted as an employer and is therefore not subject to the jurisdiction of the Labor Commissioner. A hearing was scheduled and commenced before the undersigned attorney, specially designated by the Labor Commissioner to hear this matter on March 31, 2000, in Los Angeles, California. Petitioner was present and represented by Stuart Libicki of Schwartz, Steinsapir, Dohrmann & Sommers LLP; Respondent did not appear personally but was represented through his attorney, Alan M.

Disney.com/Terabithia BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA PRODUCTION NOTES “Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open.” PRODUCTION NOTES —Leslie Deep in the woods, far beyond the road, across a stream, lies a secret world only two people on Earth know about—a world brimming with fantastical creatures, glittering palaces and magical forests. This is Terabithia, where two young friends will discover how to rule their own kingdom, fight the forces of darkness and change their lives forever through the power of the imagination. From Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media, the producers of “The Chronicles of Narnia,” and based on one of the most beloved novels of all time, comes an adventurous and moving tale that explores the wonders of friendship, family and fantasy: BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. The story begins with Jess Aarons (JOSH HUTCHERSON), a young outsider on a quest to become the fastest kid in his school. But when the new girl in town, Leslie Burke (ANNASOPHIA ROBB), leaves Jess and everyone else in her dust, Jess’s frustration with her ultimately leads to them becoming fast friends. At first, it seems Jess and Leslie couldn’t be more different—she’s rich, he’s poor, she’s from the city, he’s from the country—but when Leslie begins to open up the world of imagination to Jess, they find they have something amazing to share: the kingdom of Terabithia, a realm of giants, ogres and other enchanted beings that can only be accessed by boldly swinging across a stream in the woods on a strand of rope.

  • Kyoobur9000 Interview -- How Did You Come to Logo Editing? I Joined Youtube Back in 2010 and I Was Always Fasc
    Kyoobur9000 interview -- How did you come to logo editing? I joined YouTube back in 2010 and I was always fascinated by these videos where people would take their video programs and apply it, plug-in after plug-in after plug-in basically to make it unrecognizable. And that’s initially what I planned on having my channel be but I actually discovered that there were some pretty cool things I could do without, you know, tearing the video apart. So, I just kinda started by trying certain plug-ins or combinations of plug-ins and figured, hey this might sound cool or this might look cool and you know, it just worked out. What was going on at the time when you joined YouTube. You were seeing other production company idents or flips of other sources? What were you seeing and what were your inspirations?.. searching around on YouTube? Yes, there were other YouTube channels that did some work, you know there’s an audio effect called G-Major and um, people would apply that to idents and logos. So that’s what kinda got me attracted to logo editing. And the plug-ins really came from me playing with the video programs I had at my disposal. Even though it wasn’t my initial plan it was mainly that exposure to logos from G-Major that made it the point of my channel. Because you were quite young when you started, right? I was, actually I was just about to start high-school. So how did you come to picking your sources?.
