    Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No

    For Exhibitors October 12, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 138 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising Sparked by this year’s renewed interest in independent distributors and genre films, we celebrate the creativity of American International Pictures, the pioneer of mass-production, low-budget film making. AIP was founded in 1954 as American Releasing Corporation (ARC) by Samuel Arkoff, an entertainment lawyer, and James Nicholson, a former sales manager for Realart Pictures. They soon expanded into production so they could take full control of their product, both creatively and financially. AIP developed a checklist of creative elements to ensure a film’s appeal to their target youth audience, largely overlooked by studios of the day. Their ARKOFF formula, named after the founder, included these elements: Action, Revolution, Killing, Oratory, Fantasy and Fornication. AIP would frequently bundle multiple pictures to play as double features at the nearly 4000 drive-ins (Click to Play) operating in the US in the 50’s and 60’s. One of AIP’s famously prolific and successful directors, was Roger Corman, "The Pope of Pop Cinema", who established a cult following for himself and AIP through his adaptions of Edgar Allen Poe tales as horror films. Famously, AIP’s new project development began by creating the film’s title and movie poster, which was then market-tested to confirm interest before the screenwriter, director and cast were hired. Today’s independent producers have many lessons they can learn from the film entrepreneurs

    TOYO SUISAN – the Company Behind the Beloved Maruchan Mark

    TOYO SUISAN c1c4- 04.9.7 3:22 PM ページ2 TOYO SUISAN 8-18 04.9.7 3:21 PM ページH2 TOYO SUISAN – The Company behind the beloved Maruchan mark Toyo Suisan Kaisha, Ltd. (“the Company”) was established in 1953 as an exporter, domestic buyer and distributor of marine products. The Company entered the cold-storage business in 1955 and began producing and selling such processed marine food products as fish sausage in 1956. Toyo Suisan and its consolidated subsidiaries (“the Group”) subsequently expanded operations into such other business fields as instant noodles, fresh noodles and frozen foods. At present, besides consumer foods for home use, we also provide a diverse range of delicious, easy-preparation food products for the commercial food service industry, including restaurants, specialty stores and industrial food service. Since its debut in 1962, the Maruchan mark has become widely recognized and loved as the symbol for Toyo Suisan’s processed foods among every Japanese age group ranging from small children to the elderly. In 1972, Toyo Suisan established a local subsidiary in the United States and began manufacturing and selling products for North America. In 1995, Toyo Suisan initiated production and sales of instant noodles in China. Accordingly, products featuring the Maruchan label are highly acclaimed for their flavor both domestically and overseas. Based on Toyo Suisan’s corporate stance of “striving to deliver the most wholesome bounty of the earth to the dining table,” the Company is undertaking efforts to ensure careful selection of only the choicest foods and to create products that preserve the flavor of ingredients.

    Diners want healthier foods; even Cup Noodles is trying to please them By Shan Li, Los Angeles Times on 09.21.16 Word Count 1,201 Natalie Hou, a research and development specialist, displays noodles while holding a cup of spicy lime shrimp Cup Noodles soup in the test kitchen at Nissin Foods USA's headquarters in Gardena, California, September 12, 2016. This is a new, healthier version of Cup Noodles with no added MSG, lower sodium, and no artificial ingredients, the company says. Photo: Mel Melcon/Los Angeles Times/TNS LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Cup Noodles became a staple in college dorms because of its cost and convenience. If you had pocket change, boiling water and three minutes to spare, you could eat Japanese ramen — or at least an approximation of it — out of a handy foam cup. But in the 45 years since Cup Noodles first appeared on supermarket shelves, Americans have become increasingly inclined to read nutritional labels even in the snack aisle. Now food companies are scrambling to catch up to changing tastes, introducing organic Gatorade and unsalted Kettle potato chips to appeal to health-conscious diners. On Sept. 15, Nissin Foods USA — the Gardena-based arm of the Japanese instant noodle giant Nissin Foods Group — said it, too, is changing with the times. For the first time, Cup Noodles is getting a recipe overhaul. All eight flavors — which contain fried noodles, seasoning and dried ingredients such as vegetables — have been retooled by reducing sodium and stripping out MSG and artificial flavors. The new versions will be available only in the U.S.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

Just open the packet, pop the disc of noodles into boiling water, crack an egg in and a meal is ready in under three minutes. You can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner and any time in between. The range of instant noodles these days is dizzying. You can get high-end Japanese brands which taste like yakisoba, or go local with laksa and lor mee flavours. Korean brands offer thicker, more chewy noodles, which taste heavenly with kimchi. Although instant noodles are a fast and cheap meal, it takes very little to transform them into something more substantial. In this book, chefs and The Sunday Times’ food writers show you 60 ways to jazz up the humble packet of instant noodles. Shiok!

Rooney handed me a carton of papers dealing with contemporary profes­ sional baseball player signings. My original plan was to analyze only a portion of the data for a paper to be presented the following April at the annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers. I became so engrossed with the subject that I soon decided to thoroughly examine the entire data set for a masters thesis. A two-month tour of many of the major league ballparks during the summer of 1978 further aroused my curiosity for the subject. The intertwining of baseball and geography has since become a personal labor of love. It is hoped that others might find this thesis interesting and informative. I must thank Dr. Rooney for making the data available and for his invaluable expertise as my major adviser. Thanks are also extended to Dr. Stephen W. Tweedie and Dr. George 0. Carney for their interest and timely advice. I am indebted to Gayle Maxwell and her cartography staff for their professional work on the maps included in this thesis.

    Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on.
