  • (8/4) Student Academy Awards Provide ‘Momentum’ for Young Filmmakers
    AUDIO       Student Academy Awards Provide ‘Momentum’ for Young Filmmakers           While most people know about the Academy Awards in Hollywood — the awards known as the Oscars — few know about the Student Academy Awards.   But to those who know about the industry, they are a big deal.   A top-three finish at the Student Academy Awards can lift a young filmmaker’s career.   Freddy Macdonald knows this.   His short movie, Shedding Angels, placed third in the narrative film category in 2022. It was his thesis film after two years of study at the American Film Institute (AFI) in Los Angeles. A thesis is a big project that is needed to complete a study program.         Just being selected as a finalist was a dream come true, Macdonald said.   “Having that stamp from the Academy helped give me so much momentum to create my first feature film.”   Macdonald is 23. He said the recognition from the Academy helped launch his career. After the award, he said, investors paid more attention to him, and he was able to create excitement for a full-length movie.   That movie is a longer version of another one of his short films called Sew Torn. He directed it when he was 19.   Sew Torn, he said, tells the story of a seamstress who gets involved in a violent drug deal.   The full-length movie will be shown at film festivals this year and Macdonald hopes it will be shown in theaters sometime in the near future.   History of success   Macdonald could be one of the more recent filmmakers to go on to a successful career in Hollywood after receiving a student award from the Academy.   The awards program celebrated its 50th year in 2023. Some of the past winners include Spike Lee, known for his movies, Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, He Got Game and others. Lee won an Oscar in 2019 for BlacKkKlansman.   Lee won his student award in 1983 when he was studying at New York University (NYU). His film was Joe’s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads.         Other student winners include Robert Zemeckis, who won an Oscar for directing Forrest Gump in 1994. Pete Docter won a student award, too. He later earned Oscars for his animated films Up, Inside Out and Soul.   Kendra Carter is a Vice President at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which runs both awards programs. She said the Academy hopes to open the film industry to people from many different backgrounds and “create a pool of highly skilled, diverse talent.”   Serious exposure   In 2023, 640 members of the Academy voted on the awards, which means the student work was seen by hundreds of people in Hollywood. In addition to the award, many students come away from the event with a business agent who can help them get more work.   But that’s not all. The gold-medal winners can choose to have their work submitted for the Academy Awards. Last year, an animated short film by a student from Australia, An Ostrich Told Me the World Is Fake and I Think I Believe It, was considered for an Oscar.   “Once your name is tied to a Student Academy Award, it just opens all of these doors,” the Academy’s Carter said. “It’s so transformative for emerging filmmakers.”   The program is now open to young filmmakers from around the world. Giorgio Ghiotto of Italy is a student at NYU. He won the gold medal in October for his documentary short film Wings of Dust.   “Everyone thinks it’s impossible to be a documentary filmmaker unless you’re rich, or super lucky,” Ghiotto said. He called his success “an impossible dream.”   Macdonald said the opportunity to compete with student filmmakers from around the world was both “extremely daunting and exciting.” He said it was a great experience to go to the awards ceremony and meet so many creative people from around the world.   School experience   He would not have gotten that experience without going to film school. Macdonald said he thought about going to an undergraduate film program first.   “And then towards the end of high school, kind of, I knew I wanted to be a filmmaker, but the big question came what college am I gonna go to? Where should I be applying? And so, I started looking at all the different paths in terms of film school and the American Film Institute always jumped off the page to me…But I didn't think that would be a possibility because it is a graduate program, and I was applying as a high school senior.”         Macdonald applied and was the youngest person ever accepted into the directing program. He was qualified because by then, he had already made a short film and done other directing jobs. But because he did not have a college degree, AFI gave him a “certificate of completion” at the end.   While in school, he learned more about the business side of filmmaking than he expected. He learned how to write a proposal that aimed to make investors excited to finance a film.   “And that was really helpful for me to kind of wrap my head around the different ways you can make movies.”   ‘An honor’   Before being nominated for a Student Academy Award, Macdonald had everything he needed to enter the film industry. He had strong experience before attending AFI. He learned even more in school. He even got attention from some film studios. But the Student Academy Award experience gave him something more. It gave him the sense that other people believed in what he was doing.   “The Academy recognizing it (my film) really gave me belief in myself that the stories that I want to tell are worth telling and that I should keep pursuing them.”   The lesson, Macdonald added, was that the Academy liked his work and he, in his words, “should keep fighting to make movies.”                                     _________________________________________________   Words in This Story career –n. a job or profession that a person has for a long time narrative –adj. telling a story stamp –n. a mark of approval momentum –n. a push that continues movement into the future seamstress –n. a woman who sews or repairs clothing animated –adj. involving moving pictures or cartoons rather than live-action film diverse –adj. involving many different examples of something transformative –adj. causing complete change emerging –adj. just beginning to develop into something fully pursue –v. to chase, follow or simply continue doing something                                               https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/student-academy-awards-provide-momentum-for-young-filmmakers/7467021.html

  • (8/1) UN: Violence Is Harming Haiti’s Schools
    AUDIO       UN: Violence Is Harming Haiti’s Schools           Schools in Haiti are operating without enough chairs, blackboards, and even bathrooms.   Violent criminal groups limit basic government services and deepen poverty while the state education system faces a $23 million deficit.   Yasmine Sherif is the executive director of the U.N. organization Education Cannot Wait. “The country needs help,” Sherif said during her three-day visit to the Caribbean country in July.   Sherif said the organization provided $2.5 million to help nearly 75,000 children in Haiti with money, food and other programs. And she asked the European Union and other countries, including France and the U.S., to help close the educational deficit.   "My main concern is security," she said, noting the effect that violence has had on education.   Criminal groups, called gangs, killed or injured more than 2,500 people in the first three months of the year. Violence has seriously affected life in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and elsewhere.   At least 919 schools remain closed in Port-au-Prince and in the central area of Artibonite because of gang violence. The U.N. says that school closures have affected more than 150,000 students.   "Education is part of the solution," Sherif said. "That would end extreme poverty, extreme violence and create political stability and create a reliable workforce."   Gang violence impacts   Gang violence also has left some 580,000 people homeless across Haiti, with many crowding into temporary shelters or taking over schools, causing them to close. Schools that remain open are increasingly forced to take students from others that have closed.   The Jean Marie Vincent School in central Port-au-Prince, for example, has accepted students from 12 other schools.   Charles Luckerno is the head of the Vincent School. He said, "We're not the only ones" facing such serious problems. Luckerno said that when classes end for the day, people left homeless by gang violence enter the school and sleep on its ground.         Although that creates health problems, Luckerno still lets them stay. He said, "We are human. We cannot throw them out."   Not enough chairs   Williamson Bissainthe is a 22-year-old high school student who is preparing to take his final exam to graduate. He described the sad state of some schools.   "A lot of schools are missing benches or chairs. Teachers do not show up on time. The hardest part of this is that there are no bathrooms," he said.   Bissainthe added, "I hope that the generation that comes after me doesn't have to go through the same suffering.”   Private schools are out of reach for many in Haiti, a country of more than 11 million people. More than 60 percent of the population earns less than $2 a day.         Homeless students   Among those who have been forced to flee their homes is 20-year-old Megane Dumorcy. She would like to study agriculture, but completing her education has been difficult.   "The insecurity has had a huge impact on my life," she said, noting that some students have been forced to leave their backpacks behind as they flee gangs. "The state should find a solution for that. We shouldn't be living in a country where our movement is limited."   She said her school is only half-built and lacks a library, a computer room, a blackboard and chairs. She does research on her phone when needed.   Another blow to Haitian schools came in late 2022. That was the time the U.S. started a program permitting Haitians and people from other countries to enter the country on humanitarian grounds.   "A lot of teachers left," said Frantz Erine, an official at the Jean Marie Vincent School.                                     ______________________________________________   Words in This Story bathroom – n. a room with a sink and toilet and sometimes a bathtub or shower gang – n. a group of criminals graduate – v. to earn a degree or diploma from a school, college, or university impact – n. a powerful or major influence or effect                                                 https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/un-violence-is-harming-haiti-s-schools/7736685.html

  • (7/31) US Colleges Change Rules for Campus Protests
    AUDIO       US Colleges Change Rules for Campus Protests             As students return to college across the United States, administrators are preparing for new activism against the war in Gaza. Some have adopted new rules limiting protests. Last spring, college protests resulted in damage, conflict and arrests at several schools.   The summer break brought most protests to an end. But the results of the damage last spring are still being felt.   At Columbia University in New York City, Minouche Shafik resigned from her position as president earlier this month. In April, Shafik faced strong criticism from lawmakers over her response to protests at Columbia.   New measures for campus demonstrations   Some universities are putting new measures in place to avoid what happened at Columbia. The new rules include banning encampments and limiting the duration of demonstrations. They permit protests only in defined areas and restrict campus access to those with university identification.   Critics say some of the measures will hurt free speech.   The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) released a statement earlier this month condemning “overly restrictive policies” that would harm free expression.   The AAUP said, “Our colleges and universities should encourage, not suppress, open and vigorous dialogue and debate even on the most deeply held beliefs.”   The University of Pennsylvania has released “temporary guidelines” for student protests. Overnight demonstrations are banned, and the use of loud audio equipment is barred after 5 p.m. on days when classes are being held. Signs, posters, and banners must be removed after two weeks. The university says it remains supportive of freedom of speech and lawful assembly.   At Indiana University, protests after 11 p.m. are banned under a new “expressive activities policy” which took effect on August 1. The policy bars “camping” or placing a shelter on campus. Signs require approval from school officials.   The University of South Florida now requires approval for tents, canopies, banners, signs and amplifiers. “Speech, expression and assembly” rules bar demonstrations after 5 p.m. on weekdays and weekends. Protests are completely banned during the last two weeks of a semester.   Risa Lieberwitz is a Cornell University professor of labor and employment law and gives legal advice to the AAUP. Lieberwitz said, “I think right now we are seeing a resurgence of repression on campuses that we haven’t seen since the late 1960s.”   However, university officials say free speech cannot interfere with learning. They say the updated rules improve safety on campus.   Why are students protesting?   Tensions at many universities increased after October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants attacked southern Israel. Hamas killed 1,200 people most of whom were civilians. Hamas also took about 250 people hostage. Israel’s military operation to answer the attack has continued through the summer.         Many student protesters in the U.S. have promised to continue their activism against the Gaza war. They are fueled by information from Hamas’s health ministry that says more than 40,000 people have died in the Gaza conflict.   Much of that tension appeared in the spring on Columbia’s campus. On April 30, police with riot shields raided a building that pro-Palestinian protesters had occupied at Columbia. Earlier, police had cleared out a tent camp that protestors had set up.   Similar protests took place on campuses around the country. It is estimated that more than 3,000 people were arrested in connection with the pro-Palestinian protests.   However, many of the students who were arrested during police actions have had their charges dismissed. Some are still waiting to learn what government lawyers decide. Others have faced suspension from school, had their diplomas withheld or faced other punishments.   Columbia only recently began permitting people with university identification or registered visitors onto campus. Officials said they wanted to limit possible “disruptions” at the start of the new semester.         Shafik of Columbia was among the university leaders who Congress called on in April to explain what was happening. Lawmakers accused her of not doing enough to deal with concerns about anti-Semitism at Columbia. She announced her resignation weeks before classes are to start on September 3.   Other university leaders have also stepped down in recent months.   University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned in December. She faced pressure after she appeared before Congress and was unable to say whether calls on campus for the genocide of Jewish people would violate school policy.   In January, Harvard University President Claudine Gay resigned after accusations of claiming others’ writings as her own and her statement about free speech given to Congress.                                     _______________________________________________ Words in This Story adopt –v. to accept and put in place access encourage –v. to support and get people to do something vigorous –adj. done with energy and willingness assembly –n. the lawful and peaceful gathering of people in public canopy –n. a shelter similar to a tent but without sides amplifier –n. a device that electronically makes a sound louder semester –adj. one half of a school year diploma –n. a document that officially shows that a person has fulfilled requirements for a degree from a school or university disruption –n. an event that interferes with normal or necessary activities                                               https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/us-colleges-change-rules-for-campus-protests/7750289.html

  • [7/31]新闻有观点·行业洞察丨从“闲人免进”到 “一票难求” 工厂转身成网红景点藏着哪些生意经?
                    ※ mp3 파일 참고 :   "LINK"  링크 클릭해주시면  mp3 포함되어 있습니다 :)               央广网北京7月22日消息(总台中国之声记者杨昶)据中央广播电视总台中国之声《新闻有观点》报道,北京首钢园的科幻展吸引数万人打卡,柳州螺蛳粉产业园的“酸笋发酵车间”成研学热门,青岛啤酒博物馆的“醉酒小屋”单日接待量突破万人次……曾经“闲人免进”的工厂,正以“透明化”姿态颠覆传统旅游认知。工业旅游正从“小众探索”走向“大众潮流”,成为推动区域经济转型、促进文旅消费的重要力量。   工业与旅游的跨界融合,给文旅生态带来哪些可能?工业旅游又将如何实现可持续的发展?中央广播电视总台中国之声《新闻有观点》特别策划“行业洞察”,对话北京第二外国语学院中国文化和旅游产业研究院常务副院长、教授吴丽云和北京外国语学院国际商学院产业导师赵晨。一起聊聊当下工业旅游发展的新路径。     吴丽云(左) 赵晨(右)   “预测今年全年工业旅游市场的规模将突破450亿,增长率至少今年能够达到18%”,谈及当下工业旅游的发展,赵晨以一组数据,揭示了工业旅游背后庞大的市场规模和高额的市场增长率,凸显出工业旅游这一模式背后强大的发展潜力。   工业旅游为何越来越受企业的重视?赵晨总结,这背后与产品的市场竞争有很大关系。在他看来,企业的竞争已经从产品力的竞争到了体验力和品牌化的竞争阶段。因此,面对企业提高品牌宣传的目标,拓展工业旅游不失为有效的办法。这不仅会增加企业品牌的影响力,产品后台的技术展示还契合了消费者从被动接受到主动认识产品这一认知需求上的变化,进一步增强消费者的信任度,提升了企业的用户黏性和自身品牌的增值效应。除此之外,从企业内部的管理优化来说,工业旅游的对外展示,能够助力一些成本部门和费用部门转型成为盈利部门,进而增加企业的收入。总体来看,对企业发展的利好着实不少。   图片系AI合成   然而愿景虽好,传统工厂企业在工业旅游改造的过程中,常常面临投资成本不足、发展路径不清晰等难题,如何解决上述难题?   在吴丽云看来,对于一些经营困难或是在营的企业,改造的核心在于“体验至上”。她解释,无论企业从事何种类型的产品研发,进行工业旅游的改造,最核心的还是要突出自己的特色技术,即“企业将比较炫酷的技术,用大众可以理解的方式设计出来,让游客有一个可以体验的空间”。这一做法不仅能够吸引消费者的目光,增强游客的互动体验,满足大众对于企业产品技术研发方面的好奇心,还能够突出企业的特色,培育一波潜在的消费者。   对于拓展体验的这一观点,赵晨深表认同,然而体验感的拓展需要前期不少的成本投入,面对投资成本不足,但想实现工业旅游发展的这类“心有余而力不足”的工厂和企业。赵晨为其指出了一条改造的思路,即“数字化体验”。企业可以利用VR虚拟场景的还原,实现线上产品的展示,或是通过云直播的模式,揭秘产品生产的流程,形成与网友和消费者的线上互动。与此同时,这类企业还可以和大中型企业相互合作,实现集群化的模式,共同开发工业旅游的主题。值得一提的是,在赵晨看来,挖掘各地历史悠久的非遗,将非遗与企业的特色相互结合,形成特有的文化产业模式,也是中小企业发展工业旅游守正出奇的独特方式。   但是,对于一些不再运营的工厂和企业来说,改造的核心就并非“体验至上”,吴丽云指出,这类工厂应当在“打造与工业遗址相匹配的文旅业态,实现商业文旅和工业文化二者的契合”上下功夫。诸如北京的首钢厂、798工厂、751工厂都是这方面的成功案例。   图片系AI合成   不可否认的是,工厂和企业在工业旅游的改造的过程中,面临着过度商业化导致工业价值被稀释的情况,解决这一问题又该从何入手?   赵晨认为,工厂和企业应当遵循“商业留白”的原则,即工业遗址的商业服务占比一般不超过30%。保证相应的“商业留白”,既可以保护好工业原本的样子,又可以保证商业的服务能够让客户达到他们的期望值,一定程度上能够为游客提供更好的游玩体验。吴丽云则是以五个核心指标,来评估工业旅游改造的成功与否,即“接待人数和收入、产品业态的丰富度、项目的带动效应、游客的复游率、旅游IP的形成”。这也是评估工业旅游的发展能否行稳致远的关键性因素。   谈及工业旅游未来的发展,二位嘉宾都对其充满了自信。赵晨坦言,“工业旅游对当地的文旅经济具有一定的带动作用,它一定会成为一个城市的文化符号”。在他看来,基于以往工业历史的发展,每个城市都具备独属于自己的工业印记,无论是工厂遗址,还是出名的企业家,乃至于快消品厂、汽水厂、冰棍厂等厂家生产的富有年代感的“童年食品”。这些丰富的工业文化和多元的情感羁绊,为“城市叙事”的展开打下了坚实的基础。未来,在政府主导下,确定了工业遗址的开发边界后,工业旅游必定能够成为当地城市又一显眼的文化符号。 https://china.cnr.cn/gdgg/20250722/t20250722_527276577.shtml

  • 「8/1」腹すべり世界選手権 水をまいたシート上で距離競う 岐阜 下呂
    水がまかれたシートの上で腹ばいで浮き輪やボードに飛び乗り、進んだ距離を競い合う大会が岐阜県下呂市で開かれました。 「腹すべり世界選手権」と名付けられたこの大会は、人口減少が進む町を活気づけようと下呂市小坂町の有志でつくる実行委員会が、21日に行いました。 大会には県内外から家族連れなどおよそ100人が参加し、水がまかれた長さ30メートルのシートの上で腹ばいで浮き輪やボードに飛び乗り、進んだ距離を競い合いました。 5メートルに届かない参加者が多い中、10メートル以上滑る人が出ると観客からは大きな声援が送られていました。 上位入賞者には賞品として飛騨牛や地元産の米などが贈られたということです。 親子で参加した40代の男性は「こういうイベントは家族で楽しめるのでいいと思います」と話していました。     今井千香子実行委員長は「暑くても大人にも子どもにも腹から笑ってほしくてこのイベントを始めました。たくさんの人に飛騨小坂の自然や人々のすばらしさに触れてほしい」と話していました。

  • 「7/30」商品発注などでAI活用 人手不足が深刻な現場で効果も
    人手不足が深刻な小売業の現場では、AIを商品発注などに活用することで、従業員の負担軽減や適切な在庫の確保につなげる動きが広がっています。   コンビニ大手のファミリーマートでは、6月から国内のおよそ500店舗で商品発注にAIを活用しています。 このAIは過去1年間の販売実績のほか、店舗周辺の通行量、それに気象データなどを分析し、店ごとに最適な発注数を導き出すことができるということです。 会社では、パンやサンドイッチ、それにおにぎりなどの発注に利用していて、発注にかかる時間をこれまでの半分程度に削減できたほか、商品が品切れになる「欠品率」もおよそ4%引き下げられたことから、今後、ほかの店舗への展開も検討することにしています。 ファミリーマート営業推進部の高橋博副部長は「人では考えられないような膨大なデータをAIが一瞬で計算して発注することができる。業務の効率化や店舗の利益向上につなげていきたい」と話していました。 また流通大手の「イオン」も傘下のスーパーで弁当や生鮮食品をどの程度値引きするかについて、AIを活用しているということです。
