Weisenbach Keller December, 2005 Dissertation written by Eileen D. Weisenbach Keller B.S., Indiana University, 1983 M.B.A., The University of Chicago, 1992 Ph.D., Kent State University, 2005 Approved by William Shanklin, Ph.D. Co-Chair Doctoral Dissertation Committee Marvin Troutt, Ph.D. Co-Chair Doctoral Dissertation Committee O. Felix Offodile, Ph.D. Robert Krampf, Ph.D. Accepted by Donald Williams, Ph.D. Doctoral Director, Graduate School of Management Donald Williams, Ph.D. Dean, Graduate School of Management ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The willingness of so many people to support and assist me through this long journey is a blessing I will cherish forever. Your inputs were varied and many and this research would never have developed as it did without the input from others. Appreciation goes to my co-workers, doctoral student colleagues and friends. Through fruitless explorations, taxing analyses and rewrites, you all believed in me, offered your expertise and opinions and bolstered my determination. I want to thank my dissertation committee: Dr. Felix Offodile, Dr. Marvin Troutt and Dr. William Shanklin. Traveling through this process with you has been enlightening. Felix Offodile has been there for all of the questions regarding the details of the undertaking. Regardless of the hour of the day, no matter how high the stacks of administrative memos on his desk, Dr. Offodile thoughtfully answered all of my questions, sharing with me his considerable knowledge and expertise. For this I am grateful. Marvin Troutt, my co-chairman, was the person who assured me throughout the process that the research I was conducting had value, and that the creativity I brought to the project was worthwhile and perhaps even indispensable. At times when I wasn’t sure anyone knew I was conducting research, Dr. Troutt would send an email with a new source of information or stop by with a book to assist me in pushing to a new level of knowledge and analysis. I will always remember the example he set for how to be a good teacher, mentor, researcher and professional. William Shanklin, my co-chairman, through his consummate professionalism, has contributed to my development as an academic in more ways than I can list. He was the source of the idea for this research, igniting my interest during the doctoral coursework. He was always available for every question and provided guidance through every challenge. His persistence has influenced and taught me to do high quality work that has become a new standard from which I will build and grow throughout my career. His contribution to my academic life is second to none and I will never forget what he has taught me. Finally, I express my gratitude to my family. To my parents and siblings for faith, faith in God and faith in me. To my children, Kevin, Marilyn and Andrew, you are light and love; you bring me so much joy. Thank you for being wonderful and for reminding me daily what is most important in life. Above all, my deepest gratitude goes to Mark Keller, my husband and the love of my life. You have been my unending source of hope, mirth, strength, and love throughout this long journey. You have been father and mother to our children at times when I was working. iii You have worked hard and provided for us when there seemed to be no time to work. You have been my coach, my confidant, my cheerleader, and my spiritual rock. Thank you, I dedicate this dissertation to you with gratitude, love and respect. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS......................................................................................................V LIST OF FIGURES............................................................................................................VII LIST OF TABLES............................................................................................................

  • I1 ~0402594487 11111 U~ I. Continuity and Change in Hollywood Representations of The
    '\ I1 ~0402594487 11111 U~ I. Continuity and Change in Hollywood Representations of the Middle East after September 11 th by Sulaiman Arti A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University June 2009 © 2008 S. Arti Abstract This thesis inquires into the factors behind Hollywood's depiction of the Middle East. That depiction is not static, but is modified in response to changes in political events and US government foreign policy. Although the events of 9/11 seemed to justify the traditional negative stereotype of Arabs, the image has been partially and rationally re-interpreted. This was due to the rise in prominence of the ideas of a minority of radical and free-thinking members of the Hollywood cornmunity who embraced a more intellectual approach, which advocated that the popular Western view of the Arab world was unjustified and based on a fallacious fabrication for Western political advantage. The research further shows that these activists did not owe allegiance to the Hollywood-US government propaganda machine. They were able to fracture this traditional alliance and provide the opportunity for the appearance of films of a radical nature, which were critical of US Middle Eastern policy and projected the Arab world in a new light. The study analyzes a selection of films that represent the Middle East in terms of their philosophy and cinematic structure, which enables them to act as vectors to raise public awareness of the issues and to promote reconciliation and co-existence between East and West.

  • Business Case Booklet
    SMOKE University of California, San Francisco, Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education | August 2020 | FREE https://bit.ly/sfm-casebook2020 MOVIES SmokeFreeMovies.ucsf.edu When kids are at greater risk... Why are kids still starting to smoke and vape? And why are we seeing more smoking in US movies and TV shows? The two questions are connected. Tobacco content and exposure are increasing, overall, in top-grossing US movies released in theaters, first, and then on streaming channels with no age gates. Most of the companies making these movies also commission original streaming shows with tobacco content. This chart shows that tobacco content (incidents) and audience exposure (impressions) have increased by more than half in films youth-rated PG/ PG-13 over the past five years. Tobacco content more than doubled and au- dience tobacco exposures have tripled in R-rated films accessible to young people via in-home media, over the same period. 1 | Data: UCSF-Breathe California Onscreen Tobacco Database (OTDb) ...big media companies are at greater risk Since 2002, according to content surveys by UCSF and Breathe California, more than half of all top-grossing films have featured smoking, including 51% of movies released in 2019. Overall, 44% of PG-13 films and more than 70% of R-rated movies featured tobacco imagery. Movie inventories differ among companies, and not all films on streaming services are top-grossing movies, but it’s probable that about half of the total movie inventories now accessible to young people feature smoking. So do most of the original streaming shows most popular with young people 15-21, according to recent studies by Truth Initiative, the tobacco prevention foundation funded out of the states’ multibillion-dollar Master Settlement Agreement with US tobacco companies in 1998.

  • Unreported Cases 1093
    1995] UNREPORTED CASES 1093 interest and bank overdrafts should be considered by the Court at all. I discuss each disputed item individually. 1. Accrued Interest Petitioners contend that Respondent improperly took into account an accrued interest liability shown on the June 30, 1989, balance sheet. Paone and Lawson used the March 31, 1989, balance sheet, which does not show the accrued interest liability. As I previously discussed, the Court can consider the information on the June 30, 1989, balance sheet in this appraisal action. Kovacs noted a relevant factor, then made a proper deduction. 2. Working Capital Loans Kovacs' categorized some of working capital interest as an expense to be deducted from cash flow. The remainder of working capital interest, which Kovacs described as fixed working capital, he treated as debt. As I have already discussed, Kovacs' approach to working capital interest provides a more reliable indication of Silgan's value. 3. Senior Notes ir principle amount. In his report, Lawson states that the market of these notes probably exceeds their principle amount because of es in interest rates. Lawson's effort to slightly adjust the value of :bt has merit, but I decline to alter the figure that the parties' experts I upon. 4. Other Long-Term Liabilities Kovacas made another revision to management's projections ming long-term liabilities. Paone used the figure employed by xement in 1989, but Kovacs adjusted it to reflect long-term ties reflected in Silgan's books prior to the merger. Lawson rs with Kovacs inclusion of these liabilities, but he discounts them sent value.

The work makes an original contribution to knowledge as the first extensive study of Hispanic masculinity in contemporary Hollywood and affording new insights into the way in which genre conventions and star personas contributed to these representations.
