  • Baggage X-Ray Scanning Effects on Film
    Tib5201 April 2003 TECHNICAL INFORMATION BULLETIN Baggage X-ray Scanning Effects on Film Updated April 8, 2003 Airport Baggage Scanning Equipment Can Jeopardize Your Unprocessed Film Because your pictures are important to you, this information is presented as an alert to travelers carrying unprocessed film. New FAA-certified (Federal Aviation Administration) explosive detection systems are being used in U.S. airports to scan (x-ray) checked baggage. This stronger scanning equipment is also being used in many non-US airports. The new equipment will fog any unprocessed film that passes through the scanner. The recommendations in this document are valid for all film formats (135, Advanced Photo System [APS], 120/220, sheet films, 400 ft. rolls, ECN in cans, etc.). Note: X rays from airport scanners don’t affect digital camera images or film that has already been processed, i.e. film from which you have received prints, slides, KODAK PHOTO CD Discs, or KODAK Picture CDs. This document also does not cover how mail sanitization affects film. If you would like information on that topic, click on this Kodak Web site: mail sanitization. Suggestions for Avoiding Fogged Film X-ray equipment used to inspect carry-on baggage uses a very low level of x-radiation that will not cause noticeable damage to most films. However, baggage that is checked (loaded on the planes as cargo) often goes through equipment with higher energy X rays. Therefore, take these precautions when traveling with unprocessed film: • Don’t place single-use cameras or unprocessed film in any luggage or baggage that will be checked.

The more visceral sections are quite good, but they're not Behind the Fog 1st edition for long and the author is not operating at a level near them for much of the book. He is up there with Stephen king for me and is truly Talented I Picked up this book when I was a teen, on holiday, It was a book left in my aunty and uncles holiday Villa, I got into a few pages and it truly disturbed me to the core, to the point where I even felt I was far too young at the time to be reading such a scary book. There were a few scenes that felt dated, and of course, 40 years on, the technology is going to be antiquated, but Behind the Fog 1st edition is all of little consequence, and I hardly noticed.

  • Tobacco Product Placement and Its Reporting to the Federal Trade Commission
    Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the Federal Trade Commission Jonathan R. Polansky Onbeyond LLC, Fairfax, California Stanton A. Glantz, PhD University of California, San Francisco ___________________________ University of California, San Francisco This publication is available at www.escholarship.org/uc/item/7kd981j3 July 2016 Tobacco product placement and its reporting to the FTC | 2 Summary of findings The historical record strongly suggests that asking tobacco companies to report their product placement activities and expenditures did not capture all activity in this area. This report compares expenditures for product placement described in internal documents from American Tobacco, Brown & Williamson, Liggett & Myers, Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds tobacco companies with reports the companies were required to submit to the US Federal Trade Commission in the “endorsements and testimonials” category of cigarette promotion and advertising. During that time, in their internal documents, American Tobacco, Brown & Williamson, Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds, or their contracted product placement agents, listed 750 motion pictures as engaged for product placement, 600 of which were released widely to theaters (Appendix). Substantial discrepancies exist between product placement spending described in the internal industry records and the spending reported to the Federal Trade Commission in the “endorsements and testimonials” category. Nearly half (47 percent; $2.3 million of about $5 million) of spending for on-screen product placement

Pavonetti, Ed.D., Chair James F. Cipielewski, PhD. Bong Gee Jang, Ph.D. Anica G. Bowe, Ph.D. © Copyright by Sherry Marie Andrews, 2017 All rights reserved ii I dedicate this dissertation to my family and friends. A special thank you goes to my loving and supportive husband, John and daughter, Nicole who have made numerous sacrifices and tirelessly supported me throughout this journey. I will always appreciate all that you both have done. I also dedicate this dissertation to my mother, Velma for instilling the love of reading by playing recorded stories on the record player when I was a child. I know that you have watched over me from heaven as I have aspired to reach the goals that you said were possible. To my father, Orice, when I began this journey I never thought that you would not be present when I crossed the finish line. Your tenacity and spirit have kept me centered and focused. Sincere appreciation is extended to my siblings, Antionette and Orlando for their encouragement and unyielding confidence in my ability to complete this endeavor. To my cousin, Norma, who has been a constant source of inspiration and moral support. To my friends Janet and Joanne who provided a place for respite and never grew tired of listening to my ramblings.

  • Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel
    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI DATE: November 25, 2002 I, Scott Rettberg , hereby submit this as part of the requirements for the degree of: Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in: The Department of English & Comparative Literature It is entitled: Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel Approved by: Thomas LeClair, Ph.D. Joseph Tabbi, Ph.D. Norma Jenckes, Ph.D. Destination Unknown: Experiments in the Network Novel A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in the Department of English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences 2003 by Scott Rettberg B.A. Coe College, 1992 M.A. Illinois State University, 1995 Committee Chair: Thomas LeClair, Ph.D. Abstract The dissertation contains two components: a critical component that examines recent experiments in writing literature specifically for the electronic media, and a creative component that includes selections from The Unknown, the hypertext novel I coauthored with William Gillespie and Dirk Stratton. In the critical component of the dissertation, I argue that the network must be understood as a writing and reading environment distinct from both print and from discrete computer applications. In the introduction, I situate recent network literature within the context of electronic literature produced prior to the launch of the World Wide Web, establish the current range of experiments in electronic literature, and explore some of the advantages and disadvantages of writing and publishing literature for the network. In the second chapter, I examine the development of the book as a technology, analyze “electronic book” distribution models, and establish the difference between the “electronic book” and “electronic literature.” In the third chapter, I interrogate the ideas of linking, nonlinearity, and referentiality.
