The Happy Feet Award Last July’s INDOT Employee Survey indicated that the agency struggles with non-monetary recognition efforts. More than 75 percent of survey participants agreed that recognition activities and events are not common, non-monetary recognition is not widely used, and the business benefits of recognition are not widely understood. How are we improving our non-monetary recognition efforts across the agency? One manager shared his creative way to acknowledge his employees. He wrote: From time to time, we award the Happy Feet Award. The award is given to someone in our division who shows initiative, teamwork, and innovation. Any staff member can nominate a co-worker for recognition, and I encourage our group to notice the hard work of others. The award is presented to the recipient during a staff meeting. I provide a description of why the person was nominated and selected for the award, and then give the award – a small stuffed penguin. Additionally, the recipient receives comments by co-workers on why they chose the recipient for the award. Examples of comments include: “(Employee) has been and continues to be a key partner in resolving issues This stuffed penguin decorates the desk of and discussing processes to improve our department. He is approachable, the latest recipient of the Happy Feet knowledgeable, and willing to assist with anything asked of him. He is a great Award. team player.” “(Employee) is a fabulous co-worker. I enjoy working with him every day. He is an asset to our unit and INDOT.” The penguin is a rotating award, so it will stay with the recipient until a new person is selected for the Happy Feet Award. The inspiration for the award came from how penguins hunt for food. Penguins line up along the frozen ice as a group and gaze into the water until a brave penguin jumps into the water. This penguin risks becoming a sea lion’s lunch to protect the rest of the group. If the brave penguin pops out of the water, the others know it is safe to jump in and find food.

The Miseducation of Hip-Hop Dance: Authenticity, and the Commodification of Cultural Identities
The Miseducation of Hip-Hop dance: Authenticity, and the commodification of cultural identities. E. Moncell Durden., Assistant Professor of Practice University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance Introduction Hip-hop dance has become one of the most popular forms of dance expression in the world. The explosion of hip-hop movement and culture in the 1980s provided unprecedented opportunities to inner-city youth to gain a different access to the “American” dream; some companies saw the value in using this new art form to market their products for commercial and consumer growth. This explosion also aided in an early downfall of hip-hop’s first dance form, breaking. The form would rise again a decade later with a vengeance, bringing older breakers out of retirement and pushing new generations to develop the technical acuity to extraordinary levels of artistic corporeal genius. We will begin with hip-hop’s arduous beginnings. Born and raised on the sidewalks and playgrounds of New York’s asphalt jungle, this youthful energy that became known as hip-hop emerged from aspects of cultural expressions that survived political abandonment, economic struggles, environmental turmoil and gang activity. These living conditions can be attributed to high unemployment, exceptionally organized drug distribution, corrupt police departments, a failed fire department response system, and Robert Moses’ building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, which caused middle and upper-class residents to migrate North. The South Bronx lost 600,000 jobs and displaced more than 5,000 families. Between 1973 and 1977, and more than 30,000 fires were set in the South Bronx, which gave rise to the phrase “The Bronx is Burning.” This marginalized the black and Latino communities and left the youth feeling unrepresented, and hip-hop gave restless inner-city kids a voice.

A Comparative Study of Gender Roles in Animated Films
Global Journal of HUMAN SOCIAL SCIENCE Volume 12 Issue 5 Version 1.0 March 2012 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X A Comparative Study of Gender Roles in Animated Films By Edwin Michael , Afi Roshezry Abu Bakar , Ira Meilita Ibrahim , Geetha Veerappan , Norazleen Mohamad Noor , Lim Ean Heng , Taufik A. Latif , Ng Kar Yann University of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia. Abstract - Gender stereotyping always has and still exists in our society. However, this issue is getting conspicuously serious as gender stereotyping has now reached the young masses, who are much more accustomed to the easy, seemingly effortless influence of the mass media. In this study, the researchers have collectively delved into gender roles in animated movies, specifically. The objective of this research is to comprehend how gender perspectives and gender favouritism influence a particular film’s image of the world and the way narratives are being organized to emphasize the impact of male characters in movies, conducted through the research method of content analysis. The results point to the glaringly obvious scarcity of female characters as compared to male characters. As such, it is safe to assume that the presence of gender equality borders from slim to absolutely none. Should this problem persist, there is a plausible, almost certain chance that youngsters these days will undoubtedly have a skewed viewpoint on gender roles and hence, will only push the effect of gender stereotyping deeper while simultaneously leaving a dent on the hard, dim fight for gender equality.

From Songs to Film | 1
From Songs to Film | 1 So the obvious next step — in follow-up to the debate about the top ten environmental songs — is to debate film. Sean, Cara and I had an e-mail exchange about the topic and decided that environmental films could be divided, roughly, into three or four categories. First are the toxic torts/nuclear horror films. Silkwood, The China Syndrome, Erin Brokovich and A Civil Action come to mind. Then there are the envirornmental apocalypse films: Avatar, of course, Wall-E, Happy Feet, Waterworld, Logan’s Run, Soylent Green, Children of Men, The Road and so forth. Then there are films that celebrate the beauty of a place or resource: Out of Africa and A River Runs Through It. And finally, there’s the exploitation-of-a-resource films, the category for the greatest enviornmental movie of all time, Chinatown. Okay maybe it’s just one of the greates movies of all time, not one of the greatest environmental movies of all time. I’m intentionally leaving out documentaries for now, though perhaps I shouldn’t (think An Inconvenient Truth, The Cove, March of the Penguins, Planet Earth, and early classic TV series like the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau and Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom). Now the hard part begins. Rankings? Do we need a special category for worst environmental films of all time (with Waterworld leading the pack, perhaps?) And does the film have to at core be about the environment or is it enough that environmental destruction/protection/harm is a theme? So add to the list, help rank the films or tell me why I’m wrong..

The film illustrates the human -animal relationship through distinctions and similarities between them and establishes the co-existence of both the species. Humans and animals share feelings and contribute strength to maintain the balance of nature. The movie uses anthropomorphism to shift from anthropocentric viewpoints. It ascribes anthropomorphic attributes to Remy, the hero, who saves the human, Linguini from the hands of a villain. The collaborative effort of the inter species turns out to be a successful enterprise. Cooking and food communicate and the kitchen, the platform for sharing the similarities and distinctions between Remy, the rat and the Linguini the human. It questions the human attitude and cultural expressions towards other creatures. Key Words: Anthropocentrism, Anthropomorphism, Ecological Sensibility. INTRODUCTION Anthropomorphism, a method for storytelling whereby human characteristics are applied to non-human characters. This has been criticized for its anthropomorphism and tendency to misinterpret animal behaviors.
