  • Interim Report
    INTERIM REPORT (SIX MONTHS) 30 JUNE 2008 INTERIM REPORT TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS The Directors are pleased to present the unaudited results of the Group for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Group achieved Revenues for the period of $27,329.9 million (2007: $22,939.9 million), an increase of $4,390 million or 19.1%. The Net Profit Attributable to Equity holders of the Company increased by $55 million over the corresponding period of 2007, moving from $1,106.9 million to $1,161.9 million, an increase of 5.0%. This represents earnings per stock unit of $3.54 (2007: $3.40). GK Foods had a challenging quarter because of rapidly escalating fuel and food prices. Although revenues for the quarter grew by 18%, pretax profit fell below the corresponding period last year. Our expansion efforts outside of Jamaica saw us launching our line of porridges in the U.S. market. Grace Tropical Rhythms Refresher and Grace Snacks were launched in the UK. The new Grace Tropical Rhythms Refresher watermelon and cucumber flavours are made from locally grown fruits. During the quarter, we launched a backyard gardening project to encourage our staff members to grow some of what they eat as a response to changing world conditions. Approximately nine hundred members of staff have expressed interest and they are receiving guidance from the Agro-Grace division. Our sponsorship of the Jamaica Cultural Development Corporation Gospel Festival under our Grace Tropical Rhythms brand was deemed a big success, and we are happy with our continued association with the festival which showcases the wealth of talent in our country.

    © Copyright 2020 Young Dae Kim The Pursuit of Modernity: The Evolution of Korean Popular Music in the Age of Globalization Young Dae Kim A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Shannon Dudley, Chair Clark Sorensen Christina Sunardi Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music University of Washington Abstract The Pursuit of Modernity: The Evolution of Korean Popular Music in the Age of Globalization Young Dae Kim Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Shannon Dudley School of Music This dissertation examines the various meanings of modernity in the history of Korean pop music, focusing on several crucial turning points in the development of K-pop. Since the late 1980s, Korean pop music has aspired to be a more advanced industry and establish an international presence, based on the economic leap and democratization as a springboard. Contemporary K-pop, originating from the underground dance scene in the 1980s, succeeded in transforming Korean pop music into a modern and youth-oriented genre with a new style dubbed "rap/dance music." The rise of dance music changed the landscape of Korean popular music and became the cornerstone of the K-pop idol music. In the era of globalization, K-pop’s unique aesthetics and strategy, later termed “Cultural Technology,” achieved substantial returns in the international market. Throughout this evolution, Korean Americans were vital players who brought K-pop closer to its mission of modern and international pop music. In the age of globalization, K-pop's modernity and identity are evolving in a new way.

The Zimbabwean Experience Cinderella Dube1, Victor Gumbo2 1Research and Innovation Office, National University of Science and Technology, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 2Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana Correspondence: Cinderella Dube, Research and Innovation Office, National University of Science and Technology, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Received: May 4, 2017 Accepted: June 11, 2017 Online Published: June 20, 2017 doi:10.11114/bms.v3i3.2500 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/bms.v3i3.2500 Abstract The introduction of the Internet has led to the development of new technologies and applications that have been adopted by organisations and their users to enable them to survive in this age of technology. Online technologies have penetrated Zimbabwe, particularly in the retail industry, however, little research has been done to link the research results to theory particularly the technology adoption theories. Therefore the objective of this study was to explore the current extent of adoption of online transaction platforms in the retail industry in Zimbabwe. Furthermore, this paper purposed to determine the extent of this adoption on the Technology Adoption Curve. The online transaction platforms studied were Internet banking, Automated Teller Machines, Mobile banking, Point of Sale and Mobile money. The study took a mixed method approach where both qualitative and quantitative strategies were used. A three-sample dataset comprising of 268 bank and supermarket customers, 56 bank managers and 31 supermarket managers was used.

  • 1 the Real K-Pop Idols of Fanfiction
    The Real K-Pop Idols of Fanfiction: Reclaiming “Real Person” Fanfiction as K-Pop Industry Practice Sooyun (Clara) Hong East Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts McGill University, Montreal June 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts ©Sooyun Hong, 2020 1 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Abrégé 4 Acknowledgements 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1 – What’s in a (Stage) Name? Public Personas, Private Selves, and the Transgression of Authenticity 33 Chapter 2 – “Characterizing” K-Pop Idols: Alternate Universe Fanfiction and the K-Pop Concept 56 Chapter 3 – Believing in the Unusual: Slash Fanfiction and Homoerotic Fan Service 75 Conclusion 94 Works Cited 99 2 Abstract RPF, or “real person fiction,” is a genre of fanfiction that writes about real people rather than fictional characters. Over the past decade, the number of RPF works written about K-pop idols has steadily increased, but RPF remains a controversial practice even within fanfiction communities. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the influence of fictional media practices such as fanfiction in the construction of the celebrity text. This thesis compares three practices found in K-pop RPF to three practices found in the K-pop industry in order to argue that K-pop fanfiction writers and the K-pop industry perform similar practices in pursuit of broader fan desires. Ultimately, the K-pop idol embodies a new model of celebrity that consciously moves between the “public” and the “private” in order to generate affective value. This movement is grounded in images of the idol’s physical body and given meaning through the idol group’s network of interpersonal relationships.
