Integration of the Sudanese Lost Boys in Kansas City Area
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by K-State Research Exchange LOST AND FOUND: DIFFERENT INTEGRATION PATTERNS OF THE SUDANESE LOST BOYS LIVING IN KANSAS CITY AREA AFTER RESETTLEMENT. by DANVAS OGETO MABEYA B.A., United States International University-Africa, 1997 M.A., United States International University-Africa, 2001 M.A., Kansas State University, 2004 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Abstract The United States has resettled unaccompanied minors before. In the 1960s and 1970s, minors from Indochina were resettled in the United States. In the 1970s, the U.S accepted 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba through Operation Peter Pan. Many of these Cuban minors, aged five to eighteen, were sent to the United States by parents fearing their children would be indoctrinated in communist schools. In the case of these minors, they arrived in the United States with the consent of their still-living family members. In contrast, about 3,500 Sudanese Lost Boys were resettled in the United States in 2000, and more recently in 2010, 53 “lost children” from Haiti were brought to the United States following a devastating earthquake. This study investigated the integration and assimilation patterns of the Sudanese Lost Boys in the Kansas City area with the purpose of understanding the sociological impact on these Boys from their own perspective. As opposed to previous studies done on these Boys in Kansas and other areas in the United States, the present study used interview-based research and analyzed data using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. -
Family Reunions in Santa Carla (Santa Cruz)
No. 9 “They’re only noodles Michael...” Family Reunions in Santa Carla (Santa Cruz) Two weeks ago my family and I travelled to Northern California for a family reunion. We spent some time in San Jose, stayed with a dear friend in San Mateo, stopped off for a short visit in San Francisco (which I will describe below) before finally winding our way to Santa Cruz where we would spend the majority of our vacation. When I discovered that were going to be within spitting distance of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and I completely lost it. Now, you may be wondering why I would care about a stationary carnival next to the ocean, well this particular boardwalk was the primary shooting location for the cult horror film The Lost Boys! Released in 1987, The Lost Boys follows the Emerson family, single mother Lucy and her two boys Michael and Sam to the California town of Santa Carla to stay with her hippie father following her divorce. While both Michael and Sam check out the local nightlife they discover that Santa Carla is a beach bums paradise by day and by night- a den of vampires! With Michael initiated into the dark world of the undead, it’s up to Sam and two militant comic fans, The Frog Brothers, to hunt down the vampire gang and restore safety to Santa Carla. I was basically raised on this movie as soon as it hit VHS. We still have our copy taped off of Cinemax from the early 90s. The Lost Boys represents the perfect mix of horror, humor, sex and adventure and to this day is probably my favorite vampire film with Fright Night coming in at a close second. -
River Phoenix Another Fake Death
return to updates River Phoenix another fake death by Miles Mathis First published August 11, 2015 No, River Phoenix did not live on as Mark Dice, but he did live on. We are told he died on October 31, 1993. That is your first and most important red flag. Yes, he allegedly died on Halloween, like Cheri Jo Bates of the faked Zodiac murders. Who else are we told died on Halloween? 1) Harry Houdini. Houdini's father was a Rabbi and Harry was a Freemason. Houdini's wife collected double indemnity on the insurance policy on his death. He was 52. Who else died at age 52? Alleged serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Grace Kelly. Wendell Willkie. Christopher Reeve. Shakespeare. Frank Zappa. Abbie Hoffman. 2) Ramon Novarro. Allegedly murdered in 1968. The story comes from Kenneth Anger, a CIA/Hollywood writer responsible for the most lurid fake stories. Novarro was supposed to be an ex-lover of Rudolph Valentino. An aging gay man killed by young male hustlers with “a black art deco dildo.” Right. See my paper on the Manson murders for more on Anger. 3) William Woodward, Jr. Alleged to have been killed accidentally by his wife in 1955, after a party with the Duchess of Windsor. He was heir to the Hanover Bank fortune, so there is zero possibility the given story is true. Truman Capote later implied that the wife had murdered her husband for his fortune, but this “murder of the century” was faked for other financial reasons. My guess is Woodward was either about to be indicted, and had to flee to South America; or— more likely—his bank was about to be raided by Manufacturers Trust (as would happen five years later), and he avoided the brunt of this raid by faking his death and moving most of the money into secret offshore accounts. -

8 TV Power Games: Friends and Law & Order
8 TV Power Games: Friends and Law & Order There is no such thing as a one-man show | at least not in television: one feature that all TV shows have in common is the combination of a large number of diverse contributors: producers, scriptwriters, actors, and so on. This is illustrated in Exhibit 8.1, which depicts the links between key contributors to the making and selling of a TV show. Solid lines repre- sent some form of contractual relationship, whereas dashed lines represent non-contractual relationships of relevance for value creation and value distribution. As is the case with movies, pharmaceutical drugs, and other products, the distribution of TV show values is very skewed: many TV shows are worth relatively little, whereas a few shows generate a very high value: For example, at its peak Emmy Award-winning drama ER fetched $13 million per episode.1 How does the value created by successful shows get divided among its various contrib- utors, in particular actors, producers and networks? Who gets the biggest slice of the big pie? In this chapter, I address this question by looking at two opposite extreme cases in terms of relative negotiation power: Law & Order and Friends. Law & Order | and profits The legal drama series Law & Order was first broadcast on NBC on September 13, 1990. (The pilot episode, produced in 1988, was intended for CBS, but the network rejected it, just as Fox did later, in both cases because the show did not feature any \breakout" characters.) By the time the last show aired on May 24, 2010, it was the longest-running crime drama on American prime time TV. -
