Olaf gets an origin story in new Disney+ short 'Once Upon a Snowman'
by Attractions Magazine Staff October 21, 2020
written by Attractions Magazine Staff October 21, 2020
Wrapping up a full-length animated feature can be a bittersweet moment after years of hard work, so it was with excitement and relief that the award-winning team of filmmakers behind "Frozen II" moved swiftly from their latest blockbuster to "Once Upon a Snowman," a new animated short, debuting on Disney+ on Oct. 23, that tells the story of Olaf's first moments of life.

Inspired by the iconic first-step scenes immortalized in Disney classics like "Bambi" and "Pinocchio," writer and director Trent Correy felt the beloved snowman's origin story needed to be told.
"Elsa meets Olaf and it's beautiful and then she just walks away," Correy, who oversaw the animation of Olaf in 'Frozen II,'" said in a virtual press conference. "She creates life and she walks away and I was like, there's got to be a story there."
'Once Upon A Snowman' Web-Based Interview
A partnership with Disney+ gave Disney Animation what Correy called "the perfect opportunity" to do the short, which comes on the heels of the blockbuster success of "Frozen II," the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Diving right into "Once Upon a Snowman" after wrapping "Frozen II" enabled to team to maintain the momentum they'd established working on the feature-length film, said Peter Del Vecho, the Academy Award–winning producer of "Frozen" and "Frozen II" and creative consultant on "Once Upon a Snowman."
"As hard as the movies are to finish, it's also hard to step away," said Del Vecho, who features prominently in the recent Disney+ docuseries, "Into the Unknown: The Making of Frozen 2." "So I think the fact that Trent and Dan [Abraham, "Once Upon a Snowman" co-writer and director and lead story artist on "Frozen II"] had this story ready to go, we could build on that enthusiasm of having finished the first movie […] And I think it was a nice way almost to celebrate, to continue to celebrate the finish of the movie."
Set in the mountains of Arendelle, "Once Upon a Snowman" drops Frozen fans back into some iconic scenes from the first film, revisiting them from a new perspective. Josh Gad returns to voice Olaf, delivering that signature combination of heartwarming naïveté and laugh-out-loud shenanigans.
There's a psychological undercurrent to Olaf's childlike innocence that adds depth to his character. A sort of undercover existentialist, "He can really hit on some profound, emotional things," said Del Vecho. "You can zero in on things that maybe, as adults, we miss."
Between the laughs and the thoughtful moments, there's plenty of fodder to keep franchise devotees and avid Easter egg hunters busy. Scenes and dialogue from the original film are happening just as we remember them throughout the background of the short, this time appearing a new light. "What if?" moments make viewers question how changing just one thing might have shifted the course of this beloved story.
And, of course, Easter eggs abound. See how much Anna's coronation dress is going for in Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and spot a Motunui beach through stereoscope viewer as Olaf's discovers his love of summer for the first time, giving original "Frozen" song "In Summer" its own backstory.
Classic "Frozen" melodies running throughout the background add to the instant familiarity of the short. But, unlike the 2015 short "Frozen Fever," which added the catchy song "Making Today a Perfect Day" to the franchise's musical canon, the creators couldn't find a way to make an original song work here.
"Really early on, we toyed with the idea of having a song and the story just didn't guide us to where a song would go," said head of animation, Becky Bresee. "And instead of force it, we're songless."
At just shy of 8 minutes, "Once Upon a Snowman" moves swiftly and delivers plenty of smiles. More well-versed in series-binging than I should probably admit, my 4- and 7-year-old sons demanded I "put on the next one" as soon as we finished watching it.
So could there be a next one? When the filmmakers were asked whether they'd like to work on any future projects centered around Olaf, Bresee didn't hesitate. "If I could work with Olaf for the rest of my life, I'd be quite okay with that."
"Once Upon a Snowman" debuts exclusively on Disney+ on Oct. 23, 2020. Watch the trailer here:

This Day in Pirate History - 2/16
Tuesday, February 16 2010 @ 05:09 am UTC
Contributed by: Staff
By 81omar_moreno
On this date in 1952, coach Honus Wagner announces his retirement, ending his baseball career which began with Louisville way back in 1897. Honus joined the Pirates after the 1899 season and played with them till retiring as a player in 1917. In his career he hit .327 with 3415 hits and over 1700 runs scored and RBI's. He also managed the Bucs for a very short time during the 1917 season. Wagner rejoined the Pirates as a coach on Feb 2,1933 and he was named to the Baseball Hall of Fame exactly 3 years after that.
On this date in 1924 former Pirates 3rd baseman Tony Boeckel, who was playing for the Braves at the time, dies in an automobile crash becoming the first ML player to be killed in a auto accident. Tony played for the Bucs in 1917 and 1919. He hit .265 in 64 games during his rookie year and then .250 in 45 games in 1919 before being sent to the Braves. He missed all of the 1918 season while in the military during World War I. Tony was the Braves everyday 3B since the trade and he had hit .298 with 79 RBI's his last season.
Former players born on this date include Jerry Hairston, who's part of a 3 generation family in the majors. Born in 1952, his father Sam played for the 1951 White Sox, his brother Johnny played for the 1969 Cubs and his son Jerry who still plays, has been a member of the Orioles for 5 seasons. The older Jerry was sold to the Pirates from the White Sox midseason 1977 and he had played for the Sox since 1973. While with the Pirates Jerry played 51 games, being used mainly as a pinch hitter, a role he would excel at during his career. Jerry hit .192 in 52 at-bats in what would be his last appearance in the majors till he rejoined the White Sox in 1981. In between he played in Mexico. He played parts of 14 seasons, with all but those 51 games with the Pirates, spent with the White Sox and he was a PH in about half of his career games.
John Sullivan who was born in 1873, didn't make his ML debut till he was 32 with the 1905 Tigers. A catcher, he hit just .156 for them in 13 games before going back to the minors. In 1908 he joined the Bucs for one game, in which he came in mid-game as a catcher and got just 1 at-bat without a hit. That would be his last appearance in the majors ending as a .152 hitter with 4 RBI's and 4 runs scored. A light hitting catcher (like most backstops those days) all of John's hits were singles and he had 6 Sac. bunts in just 33 official at-bats (43 plate appearances).
Like Sullivan, Kip Dowd played just one game for the Pirates but unlike Sullivan, it would be his only ML game. A small righty pitcher born in 1889, he joined the Bucs in early July 1910 and played his only game on July 5th. In relief he pitched 2 innings, giving up 4 hits, 2 walks but no earned runs while striking out one. The Pirates lost 11-3 that day to the 1st place Cubs at Forbes Field and the winning pitcher in that game was Hall of Famer, Mordecai "Three Fingers" Brown.
Ray Harrell, who was born in 1912, was a right handed pitcher for the 1940 Pirates. He was in his 5th season when he joined the Bucs, but had a record of just 9-20 with an ERA of almost 6.00 in 104 games, mostly in relief. With the Pirates he lasted just 3 games and 3 1/3 innings giving up 3 runs. He did not appear in the majors again till he had a last brief stint with the Giants in 1945. Ray wasnt much of a hitter either, batting just .069 career and in the field he also had his problems, finishing with a .914 career fielding average.
Finally, Luis Figueroa who played for the 2001 Pirates turns 29 today. A small infielder he made his ML debut with the Pirates on June 27th of that year and appeared in 4 games, batting twice with no hits, before being demoted on July 5th. He played 6 innings over 3 games at 2nd base. This last season he started with the Mets, but was immediately traded to the Expos and played in the minors the entire season. He wore #25 while with the Bucs

Hi, my name is Taylor Harned, I graduated from Montauk Public School in 2007, and I love science. Naturally curious with a strong love of nature at a young age, the science classes I took at Montauk School instilled a desire to know how things work at their most fundamental levels. This love of science continued through high school and into college.
I went to undergrad at Eckerd College, where I first waded into the world of research. For three years, I was able to conduct research on a couple of projects: one that used frog eggs to characterize cannabinoid receptors from a sea squirt, and another that validated novel drugs used to block dopamine reuptake in the brain. From there, I got an internship at Massachusetts General Hospital studying defects caused by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, a genetic disorder. My undergraduate research experience focused my interests on molecular research in the context of human health.
After finishing at Eckerd College with a B.S. in Biochemistry in 2015, I got accepted into a Ph.D. program at Dartmouth College and have been here since. I am currently conducting my thesis work in a lipid biochemistry lab where I have been looking at changes in cellular cholesterol distribution related to Alzheimer's Disease. My lab has previously shown that in Alzheimer's Disease mouse and cell culture models, changing cholesterol metabolism with certain drugs can stop and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease progression. My research project looks to understand the whys and hows of this phenomenon, while others in the lab work on methods to deliver these drugs to the brain. Alzheimer's Disease takes a substantial financial and social toll on this country (and the world), and it is I hope that this work will help get drug treatment to market someday.
My research project uses a broad array of methods and techniques. Here are a few of the main techniques I regularly use: (See Below)
Microscopy makes it possible to view where specific proteins and lipids are located in the cell, and we can monitor changes over time.
A technique called Western blotting can be used to separate proteins by size and makes it possible to quantify specific proteins of interest.
To measure changes in specific lipids, I often pair radioactive assays with thin layer chromatography which allows us to measure enzyme activity and look for changes in the amounts of various lipids.

"Nevermind" Boy on cover refiles lawsuit against Nirvana
By Doug Podell Jan 13, 2022
The man who as a baby was photographed naked for the cover of Nirvana's album "Nevermind" has filed a new lawsuit accusing the band of sexual exploitation, after his previous case was dismissed.
Now 30 years old, Spencer Elden first filed a complaint in August 2021, in which he sought $150,000 in damages from each of 15 defendants -- including surviving former members of the band, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, as well as the estate of the late lead singer Kurt Cobain, and the photographer, Kirk Weddle.
Under US federal law, victims of child sexual abuse can sue whoever produces, distributes, or possesses images of them for damages and interest.
On January 3, a judge dismissed Elden's case, as his legal team had failed to respond in time to a request submitted by Nirvana's lawyers to dismiss.
Elden was given 10 days to file a new case, which he did on Wednesday.
In 1991, when he was four months old, Elden was photographed naked in a swimming pool reaching for a dollar bill on a fish hook, an image that has become one of the most iconic covers of all time.
The album went on to sell 30 million copies, with songs such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" becoming cultural touchstones of American pop music.

Lonzo Ball, Luke Walton Think College Players Should Be Paid
Both Luke Walton and Lonzo Ball shared their beliefs that college players should be paid when asked about a new Yahoo! Sports report detailing money exchanged between agents and players

Kyle Kuzma Responds to NCAA Allegations

Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma was one of the players named in a Yahoo! Sports report detailing players that took money from agents while in college, and Kuzma spoke to reporters on Friday night (Shahan Ahmed)
(Published Friday, Feb. 23, 2018)
On the morning of his long-awaited return to the court after six week on the sidelines with a knee sprain, Los Angeles Lakers rookie and former UCLA Bruin Lonzo Ball expected to make headlines, but these weren't the headlines most expected on this day.
"I do," Ball said when asked if he believed college players should be paid. "All the money they generate for the programs and stuff, it's kind of an unfair system."
Ball added, "Everybody knows everybody's getting paid, and that's how it is. Everybody's getting paid anyway. You might as well make it legal, so that's how I feel."
Ball spoke about March Madness and how the money involved in college basketball didn't equate to the benefits players received but he denied receiving any money at UCLA and credited his father from keeping him away from agents.
Lakers Lonzo Ball Practices in Full, Talks Isaiah Thomas
Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball practiced in full on Thursday and looks set to return for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks depending on how he feels in the morning, and the rookie's chemistry with Isaiah Thomas was a topic at practice on Feb. 22, 2018 in El Segundo, California (Shahan Ahmed)
(Published Thursday, Feb. 22, 2018)
Fellow Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma, though, was one of the players named in the Yahoo Sports bombshell report, but Kuzma did not meet with reporters on Friday morning to address the $9,500 he allegedly received from agents while at the University of Utah.
Instead, Ball fielded a question for his forward.
Highlights: Mitchell Wins Slam Dunk Contest
"(Kuzma)'s in the NBA now," Ball said when asked how his teammate was handling being named in the report. "He really don't [sic] care, so whatever happened was in the past. Now, he's living life."
The idea that college athletes that generate immense revenues for schools should be paid is far from an isolated opinion in NBA locker rooms.
"Yes," Lakers coach Luke Walton provided a one word answer when asked if college athletes should be paid.
Kyle Kuzma Speaks About Using His Platform
Los Angeles Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma was asked about recent comments directed at LeBron James by a Fox News commentator telling the basketball player to "shut up and dribble" and the Lakers rookie spoke about the importance of using his platform to speak out during All-Star Weekend on Feb. 16, 2018 (Shahan Ahmed)
Walton, who played at the University of Arizona from 1999-2003, expanded, "They bring in a lot of money for universities. I was fortunate enough that I had my family help pay throughout college, but a lot of them, they're living on those scholarship checks, check to check, as far as paying rent, eating and to me, when there's that much money involved, players should be getting a bigger piece of that as far as being able to live in a nice place, go to a nice restaurant instead of just fast food type of places."
Walton added, "Obviously, that's a long story that you'd have to find a way to make it work, but at some level, I think, yes, they should be getting paid more."

Earlier this year, Topbutton.com invited me to submit a design to try and get awarded this large website design job. I've never done a fashion magazine website and it sounded pretty neat so I said, "Hey, what the heck".
The owners of the site said they loved it. They wanted me to change some colors and not alter their logo (which I had slightly). I told them if they like it they should hire me as they wouldn't be getting any more free design work. Fair, right? Yes.
They never called me back. How rude. I guess I'm not cut out for the world of fashion.

Buffer zone and jobs concerns after Eraring sale
Posted MonMonday 1 JulJuly 2013 at 9:15pmMonMonday 1 JulJuly 2013 at 9:15pm
Despite an assurance from the Treasurer, Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper says he will be seeking further advice about the future of an environmental buffer zone around the Eraring power station.
The State Government is selling the power station to Origin Energy for what Mr Piper describes as a fire sale price of $50 million.
He says the community is concerned the sell-off could also see the environmental buffer zone, between the power station and homes, lost.
Mr Piper says the Treasurer Mike Baird called him to discuss the issue.
"The Treasurer wanted to assure me that the protections would remain, the land would be sold as part of the transaction but they would be protected by the zonings that have been put in place," he said.
"Now I'm not entirely convinced that that's the type of protections we need and I will be talking to other people about that in the near future."
Unions seek assurances on jobs
The Newcastle Trades Hall Council says jobs are likely to be slashed at the Eraring power station once a jobs protection agreement expires.
The State Government sale of the power station includes a deal that all employee entitlements will be secured and their jobs will be protected for four years.
But Trades Hall Council secretary Gary Kennedy says that will be little comfort for local workers.
"The people who are direct employees have got a safety net for four years, however at the end of four years we've seen what happens as soon as these deals are finished.
"The slash and burn merchants move in and wages and conditions are greatly reduced.
"There are no guarantees for the thousands of contract workers who also work out there."
Unions NSW secretary Mark Lennon wants a meeting with the State Government, and also the new owner Origin, to discuss jobs.

When Your Colleagues See This In You, They'll Become Even More Loyal.
In addition to learning things, one must be open minded to become a good leader. The following article is filled with useful information on how to develop your leadership skills. Keep reading to find out more.
Whenever you can, be open with your team about potential problems. While covering up problems in business used to be typical, nowadays a leader will be open about them. What is the reason for this? Communication is essential in today's environment. The situation will be exposed no matter how much you try to hide it. You need to be in control of the message you communicate instead of simply reacting to it. This is the path great leaders take.
Take care to avoid doing anything that may appear to be devious or deceitful. If you wish for people to trust you when you're leading them, you have to make sure you follow through when you make a promise.

Make goals for your business. Setting goals helps your team rich for the stars. Do not just set them and forget about it. Have monthly meetings about your goals, and make sure that the whole team is accountable for accomplishing them.
Own up to the mistakes you make. Even great leaders are wrong sometimes. Good leaders own it and communicate it to the employees. It shows that you are humble and mistakes happen. That might not be a stereotypical leader trait, but that can often result in a great deal of loyalty.
Don't set unrealistic goals. Setting impossible goals just frustrates your team. That will just make you a terrible leader.
An effective leader must definitely show integrity. You have integrity if you do what you should, even without anyone watching. Without integrity, people will not trust you. When you make integrity an integral part of how you lead, others will respect that and be more willing to follow.

If you write sloppily, with poor grammar and misspellings, then it'll be hard for your employees or partners to take you seriously as a leader. Remember that, and take note of how and what you're writing.
The leadership qualities that are exhibited by the greats are the ones that are needed so that life is easier for everyone. Build on your strengths and improve on your weaknesses. Take this advice to heart as you strive to become a great leader.

It is possible to assist others in incorporating their ideas into the greater picture.
Honesty is integral to leadership. Effective leadership requires trust. Set an example of a trustworthy and honest operation. When your colleagues see this in you, they'll become even more loyal. They'll have true respect in your leadership.
Good leaders keep at their goals until they succeed. When things seem to be falling apart, your team will look to you for guidance. You have to focus on the goals despite all of the obstacles. Seeing your persistence will spur the group on to get back up and get back to work again.

Set goals for your whole business. Use annual goals to motivate your employees to strive for greatness. Don't just set goals and forget about them, though. Always focus on these goals during meetings and demand accountability for their success from yourself and your team.
