    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne. He has a PhD in Film Studies from the University of Gloucestershire, UK, with expertise in Chinese- language cinema. He is a PhD supervisor, a film festival jury member, and an enthusiast of digital filmmaking with award- winning short films. He is the editor ofMigration and Memory: Arts and Cinemas of the Chinese Diaspora (Maison des Sciences et de l’Homme du Pacifique, 2019).

  • The Caldecott Medal 2021
    Caldecott Medal Books oppl.org/kids-lists The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children. It is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book published the preceding year. The name of Randolph Caldecott, an English illustrator of books for children, was chosen for the medal because his work best represented the “joyousness of picture books as well as their beauty.” The horseman on the medal is taken from one of Caldecott’s illustrations for “The Diverting History of John Gilpin” (1878). The medal was originally donated by publisher Frederic G. Melcher (1879–1963), and is now donated by his son, Daniel. 1939 Mei Li Handforth 1972 One Fine Day Hogrogian 1940 Abraham Lincoln d’Aulaire 1973 The Funny Little Woman Lent 1941 They Were Strong and Good Lawson 1974 Duffy and the Devil Zemach 1942 Make Way for Ducklings McCloskey 1975 Arrow to the Sun McDermott 1943 The Little House Burton 1976 Why Mosquitoes Buzz in 1944 Many Moons Slobodkin People’s Ears Dillon 1945 Prayer for a Child Jones 1977 Ashanti to Zulu: 1946 The Rooster Crows Petersham African Traditions Dillon 1947 The Little Island Weisgard 1978 Noah’s Ark Spier 1948 White Snow, Bright Snow Duvoisin 1979 Girl Who Loved Wild Horses Goble 1949 The Big Snow Hader 1980 Ox-Cart Man Cooney 1950 Song of the Swallows Politi 1981 Fables Lobel 1951 The Egg Tree Milhous 1982 Jumanji Van Allsburg 1952 Finders Keepers Mordvinoff 1983 Shadow Brown 1953 The Biggest Bear Ward 1984 The Glorious Flight Provensen 1954 Madeline’s Rescue

    Software-defined vertical industries: transformation through open source How open collaboration enables user-centered innovation, achieving faster development cycles, time to market, and increased interoperability and cost savings. A Publication of The Linux Foundation | September 2020 www.linuxfoundation.org “When I say that innovation is being democratized, I mean that users of products and services-both firms and individual consumers are increasingly able to innovate for themselves. User-centered innovation processes offer great advantages over the manufacturer-centric innovation development systems that have been the mainstay of commerce for hundreds of years. Users that innovate can develop exactly what they want, rather than relying on manufacturers to act as their (often very imperfect) agents.” — Eric von Hippel, Democratizing Innovation The Linux Foundation 2 Overview What do some of the world’s largest, most regulated, Over the last 20 years, the Linux Foundation has expanded complex, centuries-old industries such as banKing, from a single project, the Linux kernel, to hundreds of telecommunications, and energy have in common with distinct project communities.

  • Literature and Literacy
    Literature and Literacy Roselmina Indrisano Boston University School of Education © 2008 Roselmina Indrisano 2 Introduction This annotated bibliography includes fifty books in the narrative genre that were selected for young readers. Each book or author is the recipient of one or more of the following awards: Caldecott and Newbery Awards, the American Library Association Notable Book Award, and the Coretta Scott King Award. The books are appropriate for readers in the first through sixth grades, with an approximately even distribution among the levels. Each entry in the bibliography includes: the complete reference; the level, as determined by The Fountas-Pinnell Leveled Book List K-8 (Heinneman, 2006) or the Fry Readability Formula (Fry, 1977); the awards; and three teaching ideas that are coded to selected standards in the Massachusetts English Language Arts Frameworks . A list of these standards is provided on page 52. In the few instances where the language and the structure of the text are more complex than the concepts, there is a note in the annotation to suggest that the book is suitable for reading aloud to younger learners. One of the teaching ideas for each book focuses on poetry. The number in parentheses that follows refers to the poetry anthology where the poem is published. The list of poetry anthologies is on pages 53-54. The author acknowledges, with gratitude, the assistance of Irene Papadopoulos Duros and Christine Leighton. Ms. Papadopoulos Duros reviewed the manuscript and computed the Fry readability formula for books that were not entered on the Fountas-Pinnell list. Ms. Leighton reviewed and summarized the literature on children’s reading interests that informed the selection of the books.

  • Chris Van Allsburg
    Chris Van Allsburg TeachingBooks.net Original In-depth Author Interview Chris Van Allsburg interviewed April 27, 2011 in his home in Providence, Rhode Island. TEACHINGBOOKS: You grew up near Grand Rapids, Michigan. What was your childhood like? CHRIS VAN ALLSBURG: I guess I had a conventional 1950s childhood in a place that was neither exurban nor suburban. It was sort of in between at that point. The little bungalows and ranch houses were all quite new. I remember sometimes poking around half-built houses in the neighborhood with my friends. I was left pretty much to my own devices. I was able to walk to school, and after school Iʼd get together with one or two friends, and weʼd jump on our bikes and just cruise around the neighborhood. Weʼd go to these ponds and scoop up minnows and put them in jars and bike through fields. I can remember making little bag lunches and feeling so adventurous. Weʼd make a peanut butter sandwich and pour some milk in a mason jar, which always tasted terrible by the middle of the warm day. But it was the idea of going off on your own and then taking a chow break. It was a satisfying childhood. TEACHINGBOOKS: What were your interests as a child? CHRIS VAN ALLSBURG: I may have drawn a little bit more or looked forward to art days a little more than the average student, but I think my real interest or talent was model building. I was actually quite gifted at it; being very particular about the construction and trying to make each model a really finely crafted thing.
