DHX Announces Update to its Normal Course Issuer Bid

DHX Announces Update to its Normal Course Issuer Bid

HALIFAX, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - DHX Media ("DHX" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DHXM; TSX: DHX.A, DHX.B), a key player internationally in the creation of content for families and children, announces today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted the Company's notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,207,887 common voting shares and variable voting shares (the "Shares"), representing 10 per cent of the public float of 82,078,870 Shares as of September 25, 2015. The Company presently has a total of 123,989,899 Shares outstanding. The Bid will be made in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX and the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") as well as any applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws.

In accordance with TSX rules, any daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exception) on the TSX under the Bid are limited to a maximum of 84,544 Shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the past six months. Daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exception) on the NASDAQ under the Bid are limited to 25% of the average daily trading volume for the preceding four weeks. All Shares purchased by the Company under the Bid will be cancelled.

The Bid will commence on October 5, 2015 with expiry to occur no later than October 4, 2016, or until such earlier time as the Bid is completed or terminated at the option of DHX, observing the purchasing restrictions during 'black out' or 'close' periods pursuant to the Company's Insider Trading Policy. Any Shares purchased by DHX pursuant to the Bid will be acquired on the open market through the facilities of the TSX or the NASDAQ at the market price at the time of such transaction. The Bid will be funded from the Company's existing cash resources.

DHX is pursuing the Bid because it believes that, from time to time, the Shares may trade in price ranges which do not adequately reflect their value and in such circumstances acquiring Shares represents a desirable use of the Company's available funds. Any such acquisitions, if made, would reduce the number of outstanding Shares of the Company and consequently may result in improved earnings per Share.

From time to time, when DHX does not possess material non-public information about itself or its Shares, it may enter into an automatic share purchase plan with its broker to allow for the purchase of Shares at times when DHX would ordinarily not be permitted to do so due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods, pursuant to the Company's Insider Trading Policy. Any such plans entered into with DHX's broker will be adopted in accordance with the requirements of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws and subject to prior approval by the TSX.

Polyphony Foundation To Establish An Israeli Youth Chorus Of Jewish And Arab Elementary Students Announced At 2015 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting

Polyphony Foundation To Establish An Israeli Youth Chorus Of Jewish And Arab Elementary Students Announced At 2015 Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting

Polyphony Youth Chorus Offers Hope for Israel's Future

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Polyphony Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the divide in Israel between Arabs and Jews through the power of music, announced the formation of the Polyphony Youth Chorus, a choral group made up of Arab and Jewish Israeli elementary students, at the 2015 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting. The 60-student choir of girls and boys in grades 2 through 6 will be equally composed of Arab students from the Hassan Arafeh School in Jaffa and Jewish students from the Yehuda HaMaccabi School in Tel Aviv.

"Civil society benefits us all," said Craig Cogut, the co-founder of Polyphony Foundation and founder of Pegasus Capital Advisors. "Encouraging young children to interact in mixed groups helps minimize cross-cultural conflict. The Polyphony Youth Chorus will work with children whose lives are made vulnerable by limited socio-economic opportunities in a country too often divided by warring factions."

This new commitment will expand Polyphony's established work in Israel, bringing Arab and Jewish Israelis together to appreciate and perform classical music. Polyphony Education offers the largest musical education program in Israel with 12,000 students, youth orchestras and mixed ensembles, conservatories, residencies and an emerging professional orchestra. Through their involvement in conservatories and orchestras, young Arab and Jewish musicians practice and perform together, developing friendships through their shared passion for music. For most, this is the first time they have become friends with someone from a different background. In turn, the audiences attending Polyphony concerts are both Arabs and Jews - a rarity in Israel. Polyphony has shown that music is not only inherently beautiful, but also a facilitator of dialogue and understanding, opening doors to help people of all religious backgrounds come together throughout Israel.

About Polyphony Foundation Founded in 2011, Polyphony Foundation is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code; EIN 27-5559473. Polyphony Foundation supports music education, including the music education programs of Polyphony Education, an Israeli not-for-profit organization, that create common ground for Jewish and Arab youth to come together around classical music in Israel. Its mission is to find common ground through common sound: Polyphony creates programs where young Arabs and Jews in Israel can come together through classical music. Polyphony provides multi-tiered programing in several cities and towns to move students, starting in kindergarten, from beginner to professional performer through classes, seminars, explained concerts, conservatories, tours, and orchestras. As these dedicated young people advance they encounter increasingly-mixed groups of Arabs and Jews and learn to understand and appreciate music as they learn to understand and appreciate one another. With roots in Nazareth, Polyphony programs now reach more than 12,000 students and provide training and employment for over 100 musicians and teachers around the country.

Legendary Indian Composer ILAIYARAAJA Scores Music and Songs for His First English Film

Legendary Indian Composer ILAIYARAAJA Scores Music and Songs for His First English Film

SYDNEY, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Love and Love Only, a cross-cultural romantic drama that premiered at the San Francisco Global Movie Festival in August, features the musical score of Ilaiyaraaja, who has composed over 1,000 Indian language films. It is the first time the legendary composer has composed songs for an English language feature film.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20150930/272298

Featuring the first Ilaiyaraaja English song and musical score, Love and Love Only is a cross-cultural romantic drama that tells the story of love between an Indian international student and a working class Australian girl. Ilaiyaraaja has composed original songs and background score for a world record of over 1,000 Indian language films. Ilaiyaraaja has also worked as a singer, conductor, songwriter, and instrumentalist, and has primarily worked in South Indian Cinema since the late 1970s. He has won four Indian National film awards for his music, and is the first Indian to compose a full symphony.

In addition to a small production crew and micro budget methodology, the film stands out with the emotional connection between the music and the scenes. According to director, writer, editor, and producer Julian Karikalan who funded the movie himself, Ilaiyaraaja completed the entire background score in just five days. Each composition perfectly highlights the emotion and subtext of the scenes. In fact, Julian says the composer was able to write the music spontaneously as he was watching the movie. Being a film set in contemporary Australia, Ilaiyaraaja wanted an Australian singer to render the voice for his songs. Australian singer Rachael Leahcar, signed with Universal music, got the opportunity to lend her voice to Ilaiyaraaja's first English song for an English film.

The script has received much praise so far. Richard Walter, Chairman of the University of California, Los Angeles graduate program in Screenwriting, said, "Dear Julian, I was going to set the script aside until I had a little more time available but took a look at the first few pages and got caught up in it and read right through, no small testimony to your skill. You ask whether or not 'this is something that the western audience would relate to' given its cross-cultural aspects. My view is that there are only two kinds of movies: not cross-cultural romances and others but good movies and bad movies. Yours is clearly in the former category, and I say: Congratulations."

Love and Love Only follows the story of Kris, a boy from a wealthy Indian family who goes to Australia as an international student. While there, he meets Stacey, a school drop-out with a difficult family life. Family oriented vs. individualistic culture is a prevalent theme in this love story. The film deals with the universality of human emotions and love, despite the cultural differences. It is a mainstream romance film for mainstream audiences spanning different cultures.

The movie premiered at the San Francisco Global Movie Festival in August, 2015. It was filmed in and around Sydney, Australia and at the University of Wollongong. A scene at the Sydney Murugan Temple was shot from outside the building while the actors were performing inside, as cameras were not allowed inside. Most of the actors are newcomers to film, but are well experienced in theater. In addition to a minimal crew (never more than 10 people in a day), the female lead was chosen from a list of extras, prepared for the role, and according to the director, has surprised many with her performance. The male lead is played by Rohit Kalia, who was Mr. India Australia, in 2014.

Tait Brady, producer and distributor, said, "The script is very solid in terms of basic structure. The cross-cultural observations are astute and often amusing and the whole script has the ring of truth, no doubt due to the writer's first-hand experience. It wouldn't be the first Indian-Australian story filmed by any means, but as a film it would still be very different from the Indian/Bollywood productions that have used Australian locations as glossy backdrops, and aren't really engaged in Australian life."

The use of Western and Indian instruments is another highlight of the film's score. In fact, Ilaiyaraaja was one of the first Indian film composers to blend Western classical music harmonies and strings with Indian film music. He is the first Asian to compose a symphony for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Large orchestral arrangements integrate electric guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, violins, cellos, violas, base and flute. He has also used traditional Indian instruments like the Veena, Nadaswaram, and Thavil. The composer's trademark style helps accentuate the cross-cultural theme of the movie.

Legendary Indian Composer ILAIYARAAJA Scores Music and Songs for His First English Film

Legendary Indian Composer ILAIYARAAJA Scores Music and Songs for His First English Film

SYDNEY, Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Love and Love Only, a cross-cultural romantic drama that premiered at the San Francisco Global Movie Festival in August, features the musical score of Ilaiyaraaja, who has composed over 1,000 Indian language films. It is the first time the legendary composer has composed songs for an English language feature film.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20150930/8521506471

Featuring the first Ilaiyaraaja English song and musical score, Love and Love Only is a cross-cultural romantic drama that tells the story of love between an Indian international student and a working class Australian girl. Ilaiyaraaja has composed original songs and background score for a world record of over 1,000 Indian language films. Ilaiyaraaja has also worked as a singer, conductor, songwriter, and instrumentalist, and has primarily worked in South Indian Cinema since the late 1970s. He has won four Indian National film awards for his music, and is the first Indian to compose a full symphony.

In addition to a small production crew and micro budget methodology, the film stands out with the emotional connection between the music and the scenes. According to director, writer, editor, and producer Julian Karikalan who funded the movie himself, Ilaiyaraaja completed the entire background score in just five days. Each composition perfectly highlights the emotion and subtext of the scenes. In fact, Julian says the composer was able to write the music spontaneously as he was watching the movie. Being a film set in contemporary Australia, Ilaiyaraaja wanted an Australian singer to render the voice for his songs. Australian singer Rachael Leahcar, signed with Universal music, got the opportunity to lend her voice to Ilaiyaraaja's first English song for an English film.

The script has received much praise so far. Richard Walter, Chairman of the University of California, Los Angeles graduate program in Screenwriting, said, "Dear Julian, I was going to set the script aside until I had a little more time available but took a look at the first few pages and got caught up in it and read right through, no small testimony to your skill. You ask whether or not 'this is something that the western audience would relate to' given its cross-cultural aspects. My view is that there are only two kinds of movies: not cross-cultural romances and others but good movies and bad movies. Yours is clearly in the former category, and I say: Congratulations."

Love and Love Only follows the story of Kris, a boy from a wealthy Indian family who goes to Australia as an international student. While there, he meets Stacey, a school drop-out with a difficult family life. Family oriented vs. individualistic culture is a prevalent theme in this love story. The film deals with the universality of human emotions and love, despite the cultural differences. It is a mainstream romance film for mainstream audiences spanning different cultures.

The movie premiered at the San Francisco Global Movie Festival in August, 2015. It was filmed in and around Sydney, Australia and at the University of Wollongong. A scene at the Sydney Murugan Temple was shot from outside the building while the actors were performing inside, as cameras were not allowed inside. Most of the actors are newcomers to film, but are well experienced in theater. In addition to a minimal crew (never more than 10 people in a day), the female lead was chosen from a list of extras, prepared for the role, and according to the director, has surprised many with her performance. The male lead is played by Rohit Kalia, who was Mr. India Australia, in 2014.

Tait Brady, producer and distributor, said, "The script is very solid in terms of basic structure. The cross-cultural observations are astute and often amusing and the whole script has the ring of truth, no doubt due to the writer's first-hand experience. It wouldn't be the first Indian-Australian story filmed by any means, but as a film it would still be very different from the Indian/Bollywood productions that have used Australian locations as glossy backdrops, and aren't really engaged in Australian life."

In fact, Ilaiyaraaja was one of the first Indian film composers to blend Western classical music harmonies and strings with Indian film music. He is the first Asian to compose a symphony for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Large orchestral arrangements integrate electric guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, violins, cellos, violas, base and flute. He has also used traditional Indian instruments like the Veena, Nadaswaram, and Thavil. The composer's trademark style helps accentuate the cross-cultural theme of the movie.

Sinclair Unveils Connect To Congress, Brings Local TV Newscasts To Capitol Hill

Sinclair Unveils Connect To Congress, Brings Local TV Newscasts To Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) ("Sinclair") announced today the creation of a news segment called Connect to Congress, a multimedia initiative that enables Members of Congress in Sinclair news markets to communicate with their constituents on a regular basis. Combining broadcast, internet, and social media technologies, Connect to Congress offers Sinclair's local market viewers new ways to get answers to questions about what matters most to them at home.

Connect to Congress was created by Scott Livingston, VP of News for Sinclair, who is using Sinclair's presence in Washington, D.C., through its acquisition of ABC affiliate WJLA last year, to create a more regular dialogue between viewers in local markets nationwide and their Members of Congress. The first step in this plan was establishing a national bureau on Capitol Hill. "When Congress is in session, we have cameras set up weekly in the Rotunda, connected via remote to our local stations. Local anchors conduct the interviews about the key issues constituents and lawmakers are passionate about and not just topics that everyone else is covering," said Colleen Wordock, Sinclair's Capitol Hill Bureau Chief.

"For many years, national cable news channels have been viewed as the prime media outlet for Members of Congress," said Livingston. "Not only are a select few Members ever invited onto those channels, but the audiences on those channels are a small fraction of our local newscast audiences." And the ratings bear that out. According to Nielsen data, Sinclair's audiences during local newscasts exceed those of cable news by orders of magnitude during the same periods, often four times the audience of the top cable news channels, and often over 100 times the niche cable news channels. "When Members see this data, they are floored and realize that they need to be on local broadcast TV more often. Instead of making Members come to our stations when they are in-district, we are bringing our local TV stations to them in D.C. That is what Connect to Congress is all about."

"Everyone has a right to know what their elected officials are doing in Washington. Connect to Congress is just one example of the investments we are making in our D.C. news operations," Livingston continued. "We are making investments in technology and other capital expenditures in order to link our stations to Washington, especially our small market and rural stations, and we are committed to ensuring that the Sinclair network offers the hundreds of Members in our news markets their own media voice in their own home districts."

Sinclair has conducted over 100 interviews since June, and continues to book weekly interview sessions. The company will begin a station-by-station roll-out of local Connect to Congress webpages beginning later in October, which will include the Congressional interviews, stories from Sinclair's Capitol Hill Bureau and other national news outlets, polling questions, and other features as they are developed.

About Sinclair Broadcast Group: Sinclair is the largest producer of local news in the country, producing over 2,100 hours per week of original, community oriented content. Sinclair is the largest and one of the most diversified station groups in the country, including affiliates of ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and Univision. It owns and operates, programs, or provides sales services to 164 stations in 79 television markets, broadcasting 384 channels. For a list of Sinclair broadcast stations, please visit www.sbgi.net.

ILCs Open Doors To Independence For Californians With Spinal Cord Injuries

ILCs Open Doors To Independence For Californians With Spinal Cord Injuries

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With nearly 300,000 Americans living with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) and the number of new SCIs estimated to reach 12,500 annually, the role of Independent Living Centers (ILCs) like Southern California Resource Services for Independent Living (SCRS-IL) is increasingly important. SCRS-IL is one of 28 ILCs in California opening doors to independence for individuals with SCIs by providing a range of programs and services, notably assistive technology services and education.

"In serving people with SCIs, staff members reflect our philosophy of supporting persons with disabilities to transform their lives by making their own choices on how they live, work and participate in their communities," noted Interim SCRS-IL's Executive Director Mario Galdamez. "The programs and services we offer are designed to educate and increase the skill levels of individuals living with disabilities."

Through assistive technology (AT) services, SCRS-IL offers individuals with SCIs the opportunity to access technology as one means to living independently. AT includes a broad range of devices such as scooters and wheelchairs, remote controls, accessible keyboards and communication devices or more complex items such as durable medical equipment and home modifications. When combined with training, individuals learn how to use the equipment and become more self-sufficient.

SCRS-IL also conducts monthly disability-related presentations and workshops, tailored for SCIs at the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center (Rancho) in Downey, CA. One such workshop is the drum circle, designed to enhance brain activity for spinal cord repair and improve sensations and movement for individuals with SCIs. By partnering with Rancho's occupational and physical therapy staff, SCRS-IL can increase the level of resources and services provided to individuals with SCIs and their families. Additionally, SCRS-IL participates in Rancho's annual Spinal Injury Games that provide individuals with SCIs an opportunity to engage in a variety of wheelchair sports.

"One of our consumers, who is participating in this year's Spinal Injury Games in October, came to us in 2013" said Ignacio Gonzalez, SCRS-IL's Service Coordinator/Independent Living Advocate. "He sought help from us on his application process for the position of Wellness Ally at Rancho, where he actively participated in rehab programs and the SCI support group for men. We helped him develop a résumé and personal reference page, which contributed to his landing the job. He has mentioned that both SCRS-IL and Rancho are 'amazing' and have 'changed his life.'"

In addition to the above programs and services, SCRS-IL continues tackling the obstacles of a lack of funding for equipment and devices as well as inaccessible and unaffordable housing. SCRS-IL is breaking down barriers to Independent Living by creating a documentary film to educate stakeholders on the critical need to prioritize accessible sidewalks and curb cuts in several neighborhoods of Los Angeles County. Additionally, SCRS-IL supported the inclusion of Hector Ochoa as a new commissioner on the Los Angeles County Commission on Disabilities who will be the leading voice in advocating for all persons with disabilities, not limited to the SCRS-IL catchment area.

"The SCI services provided by SCRS-IL is one example of the type of work being done to maximize the independence of individuals with disabilities," concluded California State Independent Living Council Executive Director Liz Pazdral. "By understanding and addressing the unique realities of individuals living with SCIs, ILCs are well prepared to increase opportunities for living independently."

The SILC is an independent state agency which, in cooperation with the California Department of Rehabilitation, prepares and monitors the State Plan for Independent Living.

TFO launches an all-video platform: A one-stop destination for audiences seeking educational content for the digital age

TFO launches an all-video platform: A one-stop destination for audiences seeking educational content for the digital age


-- Netflix: 65 million subscribers watch more than 100 million hours of
video every day(([i])).
-- Canadians come in 2(nd) globally for the highest monthly number of
videos watched online(([ii])).
TORONTO, Sept. 30, 2015 /CNW/ - That is the setting in which Groupe Média TFO releases tfo.org, a web platform that offers video on demand and allows web users to engage in a new digital experience specialised in playful, educational content.

"Of course, we considered children, who can find the entire Caillou series on our website, but we also thought about their parents, who will be delighted to view our playlist '10 Tips to Make Your Kid Ask for More Fruits and Veggies'. Playlists are one of the main features of the new platform, thematically organizing tfo.org's content library," said Laurent Guérin, Chief Content Officer.

With the knowledge that online TV watching will overtake traditional TV watching in 2016, it is crucial to introduce a video content platform that evolves according to users' consumption habits. That is what we offer today(([iii])).

All the Content in One Place

The new interface, created by Turbulent, is much more than a mere website. Navigation is more dynamic and more intuitive and it offers an enriched catalogue of content: over 9 000 videos and games, 5 600 pieces of educational content for children between 2 and 6 years, mobile applications, colouring spaces, lighthearted skits, reports on different topics and musical sessions by Francophone artists.

"The launch of this new platform is a key step in our digital strategy and reflects our desire to reach out to new French-speaking audiences, wherever they are. This way, we look forward to better understanding their needs and to offering them content they can identify with. Indeed, Groupe Media TFO produces and acquires exclusive productions such as BRBR (currently filming across Canada), Carte de visite, Mini TFO, FLIP, 24.7, Ciné TFO, #ONFR," said Magalie Zafimehy, digital content manager at Groupe Média TFO.

Aside from a more user-friendly navigation system, TFO.org offers a more complete selection than ever before, including complete series like Motel Monstre, Caillou, Barbapapa, Subito Texto, Les Doozers, ZoubiDoubi, and many more. Additionally, faithful fans of our cinema programming will be able to access a selection of some hundred classic and contemporary films that have been acclaimed in the world's greatest film festivals.

Increased Accessibility

In order to provide an accessible platform to all, content can be played back with subtitling and video description for users with hearing or visual impairments. Additionally, a secure, ad-free space exists for children between 2 and 6 years, as well as a parental control module with a timer to monitor children's video consumption. Furthermore, the platform offers a reserved area for members that will allow our audience to subscribe for free to exclusive video content like "Le Rêve de Champlain", which will be available online today. And for Francophiles, we've prepared a navigation menu in English to make searching and accessing content easier.

Known for Its Innovative Spirit

Committed to implement an innovative over-the-top television strategy, Groupe Média TFO and its production partners, Slalom, Fairplay and Turbulent, recently produced the captivating docu-drama series "Le Rêve de Champlain" as well as a suite of digital products including revedechamplain.com, which was awarded a Prix Gémeaux for best digital production on September 20th this year.

MTV2 Gets '#Down2Adopt' Shelter And Rescue Pets During National Adopt-A-Dog Month

MTV2 Gets '#Down2Adopt' Shelter And Rescue Pets During National Adopt-A-Dog Month

KRISTEN BELL AND CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD LEND VOICES TO NEW MTV2 PET ADOPTION CAMPAIGN WITH THE AD COUNCIL, THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES AND MADDIE'S FUND

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On the eve of National Adopt-A-Dog Month, the network is getting into some heavy petting. That's when dogs and cats will invade the channel to launch MTV2's #Down2Adopt, an on-air and online campaign to make shelters and rescue groups the go-to choice when looking for your new best friend. MTV2 will showcase adoptable shelter and rescue pets during the year-long campaign as they join forces with The Shelter Pet Project, a national public service program from theAd Council, TheHumane Society of the United States and Maddie's Fund®.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7606951-ad-council-mtv2-adopt-a-dog-month/

#Down2Adopt launches with a series of video pet biographies featuring the voices of Kristen Bell, MTV2's Charlamagne Tha God and MTV2's Carly Aquilino comically narrating stories of how some dogs and cats found themselves in shelters. It will be all paws on deck when the #Down2Adopt pet bios premiere during an all new episode of MTV2's "Uncommon Sense with Charlamagne" tonight, Wednesday, September 30, at 11pm ET. Charlamagne and guests including Vinny Guadagnino will share why they're down to adopt shelter pets and will hang with Charm, an adoptable puppy from St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center in New Jersey.

The Ad Council will also distribute the videos as PSAs to over 33,000 stations. The PSAs will air in donated media across the country. To view #Down2Adopt pet biographies visit: http://www.down2adopt.com/videos. Kristen Bell's video is also available here: http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/1246131/down2adopt-molly.jhtml#id=1738111.

Each year 6 to 8 million dogs and cats find themselves in shelters, but only half will be adopted. The MTV2 #Down2Adopt digital hub (http://www.Down2Adopt.com) will connect animal lovers with their local shelters and provide ways they can help the estimated 2.4 million shelter pets who lose their lives in shelters each year. #Down2Adopt's digital hub will also highlight the benefits of adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue group over purchasing from a pet store or breeder.

The campaign will also consist of social media extensions throughout the year. Puppy lovers and MTV2 viewers can follow Joey, a two-month old Boxer/Pit Bull as he prepares for his adoption on MTV2's Instagram as part of an ongoing monthly spotlight on an adoptable pet. Joey made his MTV debut at the 'Pupparazzi Pen' on the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet last month. His first post appears here: https://instagram.com/p/8Qvzp1SvWe/?taken-by=mtv2.

"#Down2Adopt is about letting our audience know that, if they're looking for a pet, the humane, stand-up choice is to make a shelter or rescue group your first stop," said Chris McCarthy, General Manager of MTV2. "Shelter pets are every bit as healthy, well-behaved, and worthy of love and adoption as any pet, and we can't think of a better place to shine a light on a few of these beautiful animals and launch #Down2Adopt than on MTV2."

#Down2Adopt is a collaboration with The Ad Council, The Humane Society of the United States and Maddie's Fund and will piggyback off of their already established public service campaign, The Shelter Pet Project, which first launched in 2009.

"We're so excited to launch this heartwarming and entertaining campaign with MTV2 that will reach new audiences with our Shelter Pet Project messages," said Lisa Sherman, President and CEO of the Ad Council. "With MTV2's creativity and cross-platform reach, I'm hopeful that we can find loving homes and families for countless pets in shelters across the country."

Vanier College Music department receives a donation from Entertainment promoter Sheldon Kagan

Vanier College Music department receives a donation from Entertainment promoter Sheldon Kagan

MONTREAL, Sept. 30 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Vanier College is pleased to announce that well-known Montreal concert promoter Sheldon Kagan has donated his extensive collection of albums, CDs, books, music tapes and music equipment to the Vanier College Music Department. A special ceremony held on September 30(th) in the Vanier Auditorium featured a retrospective of Sheldon Kagan's career and live music by Vanier's 3(rd) year improvisation ensemble. As well, Sheldon Kagan officially opened an exhibition of his collection of art, artifacts and memorabilia related to the world of music and entertainment that will be on display at Vanier College in several locations during September and October.

"We are very pleased to acquire the Linda and Sheldon Kagan Music Collection of music covering the past 50 years," says Glen Ethier, Coordinator of the Music Department. "Sheldon Kagan's generous donation of albums, CDs, cassettes, equipment and artwork to Vanier College is especially appreciated by the Department of Music. Its value in providing us with a thorough and wonderful history of his life and work as a well-respected Montreal promoter, DJ, businessman, and entertainer is only the beginning for music students and teachers, and for the college as a whole. The stunning collection of recordings--somewhere in the range of 10,000 LPs, 45-rpm singles, CDs, and cassettes is peppered not only with a wide variety of popular music and dance hits from the 1940s until today, but with obscure artists and jazz, classical, and world music. The historical significance of the full collection cannot be overstated, and its worth as a source of study material for students and faculty in all areas of the music program is inestimable."

"Music is one of Vanier College's most popular programs and has produced many successful graduates including Patrick Watson, one of the headliners of the 2015 Osheaga Festival this past summer. Sheldon Kagan's generous donation will give our students the opportunity to use materials and hear music that will enrich their training and knowledge not only of music history but also of the entertainment business in Montreal," says Mr. Normand W. Bernier, Director General of Vanier College.

The material that will be available through the library will be used by students from all five Vanier Music programs: Music, Double DCS programs in Science and Music, Social Science and Music, or Languages and Cultures and Music, and Professional Music and Song Techniques, a 3-year program that focusses on Composition and Arrangement or Performance.

Sheldon Kagan has provided entertainment for weddings, corporate and special events since 1965. Over 5 decades Sheldon Kagan International produced over 75 major concerts bringing in artists such as Dionne Warwick, The Commodores, Miles Davis, George Benson, Ravi Shankar, Dizzy Gillespie, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller Orchestra, Duke Ellington Orchestra, Buddy Rich and many more.

"I am so pleased to know that my music library, sound equipment and music memorabilia will be enjoyed by Vanier students for years to come," said Sheldon Kagan.
