Most communities in Ontario have recycling programs, but each of them have different rules about what materials are recyclable and how they are to be prepared for pick-up. In Waterloo Region, there are two recycling collection programs: a Cart collection program for participating apartments, condominiums, townhouses; and a weekly curbside Blue Box collection program for single family dwellings, semi-detached duplexes, smaller walk-up apartment buildings, and student lodging residences. Once you know which of the two collection programs services your place of residence, the information below will help you sort and prepare materials properly for recycling. RECYCLABLE ITEMS These materials only are acceptable in Blue Box and Cart recycling programs.

(2017). The ockM ing Mockumentary and the Ethics of Irony. Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education, 11 (1). https://doi.org/10.31390/taboo.11.1.08 Taboo, Spring-Summer-Fall-WinterMiranda Campbell 2007 53 The Mocking Mockumentary and the Ethics of Irony Miranda Campbell “Shocking and Provocative.” “Death-defying satire.” “Edgy.” “A New Genre.” A quick survey of film critics’ reviews of Borat reveal language that is drenched in the rhetoric of innovation, avant-gardism, and subversion. The genre that Borat makes use of, the mockumentary, and is indeed generally seen as subversive, in that it undermines the documentary’s claim to objectively tell the truth. It is also a relatively new genre, that was spawned by the proliferation of available archival footage since the 1950s, but that has gained increasing popularity over the last 30 years, with This is Spinal Tap often cited as a key catalyzing film by directors and critics alike. As a genre, the mockumentary mobilizes irony, either in the parody of the form of the documentary or in the satirical treatment or critique of an issue. This mobilization can be relatively gentle and mild, such as parodies of the docu- mentary like The Ruttles that mockumentary theorists Jane Roscoe and Craig Hight identify as the first “level” of irony in the mockumentary.

  • Skate Life: Re-Imagining White Masculinity by Emily Chivers Yochim
    /A7J;(?<; technologies of the imagination new media in everyday life Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors This book series showcases the best ethnographic research today on engagement with digital and convergent media. Taking up in-depth portraits of different aspects of living and growing up in a media-saturated era, the series takes an innovative approach to the genre of the ethnographic monograph. Through detailed case studies, the books explore practices at the forefront of media change through vivid description analyzed in relation to social, cultural, and historical context. New media practice is embedded in the routines, rituals, and institutions—both public and domestic—of everyday life. The books portray both average and exceptional practices but all grounded in a descriptive frame that ren- ders even exotic practices understandable. Rather than taking media content or technol- ogy as determining, the books focus on the productive dimensions of everyday media practice, particularly of children and youth. The emphasis is on how specific communities make meanings in their engagement with convergent media in the context of everyday life, focusing on how media is a site of agency rather than passivity. This ethnographic approach means that the subject matter is accessible and engaging for a curious layperson, as well as providing rich empirical material for an interdisciplinary scholarly community examining new media. Ellen Seiter is Professor of Critical Studies and Stephen K. Nenno Chair in Television Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her many publi- cations include The Internet Playground: Children’s Access, Entertainment, and Mis- Education; Television and New Media Audiences; and Sold Separately: Children and Parents in Consumer Culture.

Host: You’re welcome Tom. Just by way of introduction although I don’t think there’s anybody here. Is this on? Yep. Although I don’t think there’s anybody here who doesn’t know who Tom Green is, but just to set this up we’re here at Humber College at The Humber College School of Comedy and we’re talking to Tom Green who's our special guest. We talk a lot in the program, we talk a lot about the spirit of innovation, so let’s just see the kind of innovation we’re talking about I think is encapsulated by the gentleman who’s sitting here with me. Think about this, reality TV, I think he got there before just about anybody, shock comedy, got there just about before anybody, prank comedy, got there just about before anybody, comedy on the internet, got there before just about anybody, the fusion of rap music and comedy, got there just about before anybody. A pretty impressive life and a pretty impressive comedy resume. Tom Green. Tom: Wow! Thank you, Mark. Thanks. Clapping Host: Andrew, why don’t you ask, throw out the first question?

    TeenSites.com — A Field Guide to the New Digital Landscape New Trends and Future Directions The static images that many people associate with the World Wide Web reveal very little of the compelling nature of the digital media system that is just around the corner. But many changes that signal a major transformation of the Internet are already underway. Computers are now capable of handling audio files with fidelity that rivals that of CDs, and the quality of streaming video, still in its early development, continues to improve. Televisions, in turn, are now being used to access the Internet, a trend that will grow with the introduction of new, more sophisticated cable set-top boxes. Mobile phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) are now manufactured as Internet-ready devices, and videogame consoles are being designed as integrated home entertainment centers, with the ability to play movies and music as well as to surf the Web. And the Web itself will one day be bypassed, giving way to new forms of content and new means of delivery, including new ways to exploit the Internet. A recent Business Week forecast of the Internet’s future pointed to four trends that were likely to usher in the post-Web world: (1) the wireless revolution, with content tailored specifically for portable, mobile devices; (2) peer-to-peer computing, featuring new software and services that will facilitate the exchange of data among PCs, including both collaborative projects from remote locations and distributed processing (harnessing several computers

The review he wrote of the 2001 film Freddy Got Fingered is one notable example. “The day may come when ‘Freddy Got Fingered’ is seen as a milestone of neo-surrealism. The day may never come when it is seen as funny,” wrote Ebert in his April 20, 2001 review of the film.
