    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

  • Epoxy Composites with Short Fibers Are Long on Benefits for Automotive Applications
    EPOXY COMPOSITES WITH SHORT FIBERS ARE LONG ON BENEFITS FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS P.J. Farris Jr. SolEpoxy, Inc. Abstract The automotive industry is no stranger to the use of polymers and composites. Some non- metallic materials currently being used in automotive applications include fiber reinforced nylon, polyphthalamide, polyamide-imide , and polyester in the form of bulk molding compound (BMC) or sheet molding compound (SMC). One significant reason for using these composites is to reduce weight and maximize fuel efficiency. Long strand fiberglass for strengthening plastics such as nylon, PPA, PAI, and polyester, has been in use for decades. Carbon fiber can yield even greater strength, although it has been used mainly in aerospace, sporting goods, and in other high end applications such as race cars, super cars, and luxury vehicles due to cost. SolEpoxy has achieved good results by blending fibers of different types in order to optimize desired properties or minimize cost. With this paper, SolEpoxy proposes to add another material to this list of common automotive composites: short-fiber reinforced epoxy. Epoxies feature high strength, resistance to high temperatures, chemical resistance, ease of molding vs. metal forming, and lower density which could yield dramatic weight savings. Epoxy composites reinforced with short fibers convey the additional important benefit of isotropic material properties. Unlike long-fiber reinforced composites, there is no need to orient or “lay-up” the reinforcing fibers. Short-fiber epoxy composites can be molded to near net shape and finished with machining just like die-cast metal. We also offer some interesting observations. It is unsurprising that, in a given base epoxy, carbon fiber provides a boost in the flex and tensile strength.

  • National Summer Learning Association Announces Partnerships with Iheartmedia, Clear Channel Outdoor Americas, and Litton Entertainment
    National Summer Learning Association Announces Partnerships with iHeartMedia, Clear Channel Outdoor Americas, and Litton Entertainment The media giants will help promote the importance of summer learning opportunities across the country through a multi-platform campaign BALTIMORE, MD, JULY 11, 2018 – Research shows that summers without quality learning opportunities hold our nation’s youth back in core subjects like math and reading; this "summer slide" is particularly acute among low-income communities. To help raise awareness of the importance of summer learning and to combat the summer slide, the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) has partnered with iHeartMedia and Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (CCOA), along with Litton Entertainment, in a national media campaign to elevate the importance of keeping all kids learning, safe and healthy during the critical summer months. Through a multi-platform campaign, iHeartMedia, will air public service announcements (PSAs) across its more than 850 radio stations nationwide during the month of July, featuring John Urschel, former guard for the Baltimore Ravens and current doctoral candidate in applied mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). iHeartMedia will also run a PSA that highlights the many free or low-cost summer learning activities that families can find in their own communities this summer. CCOA will run PSAs on 1,200 digital billboards across 28 markets. View campaign billboards here and listen to radio PSAs here. Litton Entertainment will run NSLA PSAs as part of its Smarter Summers = Brighter Futures campaign, which promotes summer learning and engagement opportunities for K-12 youth. Check out the PSA here which will run on Litton Entertainment’s programming blocks on the following broadcast outlets: The CW (“This Old House” and “Dog Whisperer”), Bounce, LAFF, GRIT and Go Time.
