McNeill On August 24, 1939, with the passing of John B. McNeill, Randolph lost one of its best known and highly respected citizens. He was born in Prince Edward Island on October 27, 1866 and came to Randolph in 1888, being a blacksmith by trade. In 1913 he was elected a Water Commissioner, for many years serving as Chairman of the Board, and held this position until his death. In 1919 he was elected Town Clerk and Treasurer, which position he also held until his death. The last twenty-six years of his life were spent faith- fully serving the public and his knowledge of municipal affairs was ever at the command of his associates. Of a kindly nature he endeared himself in the hearts of all with whom he came in contact and his memory will ever be perpetuated in the annals of the history of Randolph. JOHN B.

  • War Room Wins Box Office
    War Room Wins Box Office Over the Labor Day weekend (Sept. 4-7), the faith-based family drama War Room exceeded expectations by earning $12.6 million from 1,526 locations and taking the top spot of box office sales. It also opened as the #1 faith-based movie of 2015 and the highest in the genre since Heaven Is for Real (in April 2014). War Room is the fifth film from Alex and Stephen Kendrick (Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants, Flywheel), and has enjoyed media coverage from outlets such as Associated Press, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Forbes, USA Today, Entertainment Tonight, CBS, FOX News, and others. Actor/writer/director Alex Kendrick and his brother, producer/co-writer Stephen Kendrick, did exactly what one would expect devout Christians to do when it came to their latest film: they prayed for it to succeed. “We didn’t wake up one day wanting to make a movie about a 75-year-old woman’s prayer closet,” Stephen explains. “We asked God to order our steps, and the ideas came. As filmmakers, we’re laying tracks before a moving train.” “People have plans for everything in life: careers, finances, health. But what about a strategy for prayer to affect our lives, our spouses, and our children?” Alex asks. “We want to inspire, challenge, and motivate families to not just react but to plan through the right kind of battles—and to use the best resources possible.” Adds Stephen: “We’re after something here to radically improve our culture, and we want moviegoers to experience it in an inspiring and emotional story.

Salemba Raya No. 4, Jakarta Pusat 10430 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The advancement of technology and society has led to innovations, including in the field of media. Media convergence has given birth to a novel audiovisual medium called Video-on- Demand (VOD), which combined the logics of television, film, home video, the internet, as well as technology. This conceptual research applied a literature review method to discuss the journey of the logic of watching television with a specific schedule and a particular medium to the understanding that television, after all, is just an artifact. The paper also discussed new habits that are developed due to the birth of VOD and how VOD branding worked. This research aimed to look at how the development of media convergence in the form of VOD brought new trends, especially in Indonesia. The paper concluded that many new opportunities were ready to be utilized by VOD platforms to develop their content and reach Indonesian audiences. However, it was also necessary to consider that Indonesia’s regulations still were not utterly supporting the development of VOD. Keywords: Film; Indonesia; Media Convergence; Video on Demand (VOD); Television Abstrak Kemajuan teknologi dan masyarakat telah menghasilkan inovasi-inovasi termasuk dalan bidang media.
