  • Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals
    Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals Every year, media award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, and Oscars recognize the hard work put into a wide array of diverse movies, TV shows, songs, and albums. However, no event is perfect, and the mass anticipation for each show ensures that every rare on-stage slip-up is bound to make headlines is made that much more memorable when it occurs. With the 2018 Academy Awards having just recently passed, here’s a quick highlight reel of some of the most famous fumbles forever enshrined in award show history. La La Land Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals graphic by Amanda Shi An Oscar is one of the highest honors possible for a work of media. And of course, the more serious the award, the more shocking the slip-up, and there can be no greater (and thus unforgettable) mistake in an Oscars award show than presenting the wrong winner. In an absolutely unprecedented, history-making moment at the 89th Academy Awards, La La Land Smörgåsbord: Award Show Scandals was mistakenly called as winner of Best Picture. An envelope mix-up was to blame for starting the misunderstanding; the Best Actress in a Leading Role envelope had somehow been swapped with the Best Picture envelope. Warren Beatty had known something was wrong when he opened the card and read ‘Emma Stone, La La Land’, but he hadn’t known how to respond to such an unexpected scenario. In his confusion, he attempted to stall for time by pausing in between words, but both the audience and his co-presenter Faye Dunaway interpreted it as him deliberately building suspense.

  • Church of Scientology Statement Andrew Morton’S Unauthorized Biography of Tom Cruise
    CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL 14 January 2008 For further information contact: Karin Pouw, Public Affairs Director (323) 960-3500 CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY STATEMENT ANDREW MORTON’S UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF TOM CRUISE For the last two years, the Church of Scientology requested to be interviewed or be presented with any allegations so we could respond. Morton refused despite our insistence in offering our cooperation. At no time did he request interviews nor did he attempt to get any information from us. Accuracy and truth were not on Morton’s agenda. While making all sorts of bizarre and false allegations about Mr. Miscavige, the Church’s ecclesiastical leader, Morton at no time ever attempted to contact, speak to or interview him. As a result his book is a bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies. Morton comes from a tabloid background and his book reads like British tabloid journalism at its worst. British publishers rejected the book because of Morton’s inability to prove the truth of his allegations, something the laws of the UK require and of which Morton is well aware. Notwithstanding his US publisher’s knowledge that his British publishing house refused publication of Morton’s diatribe due to his inability to substantiate his claims, they still steadfastly refused to present any of the allegations for either refutations or response. Furthermore, scandalous falsehoods attributed to Morton appeared in the UK press 2 months ago. The Church demanded he correct these falsehoods which he and his publisher refused to do. However, the newspaper that published Morton’s lies did take responsibility—printing a full retraction when presented with the facts by the Church.

  • Base SAS® Tips, Tricks and Techniques
    Paper Number 2754 DATA Step versus PROC SQL Programming Techniques Kirk Paul Lafler, Software Intelligence Corporation ABSTRACT Are you considering whether to use a DATA step or PROC SQL step in your next project? This presentation explores the similarities and differences between DATA step and PROC SQL programming techniques. Topics include IF- THEN-ELSE, SELECT-WHEN, and PROC SQL CASE expressions conditional logic concepts and constructs; and the techniques for constructing effective merges and joins. Attendees explore examples that contrast DATA step versus PROC SQL programming techniques to conduct conditional logic scenarios, one-to-one match-merges and match-joins, and an assortment of inner and outer join programming constructs. INTRODUCTION This paper illustrates the similarities and differences between the Base-SAS software DATA step and SQL procedure. We’ll examine two “key” topics that most users are confronted with when working with their tables of data, conditional logic scenarios and merges/joins. This paper introduces brief explanations, guidelines and “simple” techniques for users to consider when confronted with conditional logic scenarios and merges/joins. You are encouraged to explore these and other techniques to make your SAS experience an exciting one. EXAMPLE TABLES The data used in all the examples in this paper consist of a selection of movies that I’ve viewed over the years. The Movies table contains four character columns: title, category, studio, and rating, and two numeric columns: length and year. The data stored in the Movies table is shown below. MOVIES Table The data stored in the ACTORS table consists of three columns: title, actor_leading, and actor_supporting, all of which are defined as character columns.

  • A Hands-On Tour Inside the World of PROC SQL® Kirk Paul Lafler, Software Intelligence Corporation, Spring Valley, California
    NESUG 2007 Hands-On Workshops A Hands-on Tour Inside the World of PROC SQL® Kirk Paul Lafler, Software Intelligence Corporation, Spring Valley, California Abstract Structured Query Language (PROC SQL) is a database language found in the base-SAS software. It enables access to data stored in SAS® data sets or tables using a powerful assortment of statements, clauses, options, functions, and other language features. This hands -on workshop presents core concepts of this powerful language as well as its many applications, and is intended for SAS users who desire an overview of the capabilities of this exciting procedure. Attendees will explore the construction of SQL queries, ordering and grouping data, the application of case logic for data reclassification, the creation and use of views, and the construction of simple inner and outer joins. Introduction The SQL procedure is a wonderful tool for querying and subsetting data; restructuring or regrouping data by specifying case expressions ; constructing and using virtual tables known as views; joining two or more tables (up to 32) to explore data relationships . Occasionally, a problem comes along where the SQL procedure is either better suited or easier to use than other more conventional DATA and/or PROC step methods. As each situation presents itself, PROC SQL should be examined to see if its use is warranted for the task at hand. Many SAS users prefer the power and coding simplicity of the SQL procedure in perform ing data analysis and routine everyday tasks rather than using other DATA or PROC step approaches and methods . Whatever the nature of the requirements or SQL usage, this paper is intended to present an overview of some of the most exciting features found in PROC SQL.

  • The Future of Film January 2012
    Club of Amsterdam the future of Film January 2012 In collaboration with the Freelance Factory Supporters Freelance Factory India House Amsterdam Most Hollywood mind confections are cotton candy that reverts back into sugar and coloring as it enters your mouth. What’s missing is any substance that you take away after the movie. There’s no nutrition there. When the movie is over, you’re left with nothing. We need to take back the powerful media of film – the media should be teaching us valuable lessons about how to survive, keep the earth clean and healthy. There are so many important discussions, new philosophies, concepts, ways to living, so many valuable ways the media could function, instead of focusing only on killing, wealth and excess. Who will teach us how to survive the coming ecological and economic storms? The one idea that Hollywood movies strive to suppress more than any other is the idea of an egalitarian society. We are constantly reminded of how bad we are, how criminal, how bloody, how deadly. In a psychological test, 70% of us seem to readjust our brains to believe what a peer group says happened, rather than what we actually witnessed ourselves in real life. Movies and media dictate people’s consciousness by glorifying the lives of the rich and criminal, simplifying our stratified social order and making the unspeakable norm. Do we accept the rule of the 1% over the 99%? Thoughts by Dimitri Devyatkin – an American filmmaker, writer that specializes in social documentaries, historical feature films. Eline Flipse, Independent Motion Pictures and Film Professional 'What is actually a documentary?' It sounds simple, but there are some misunderstandings about the meaning of the concept.

  • Orient Express Press
    John Travolta is flanked by daughter Ella Bleu, 18, and son Benjamin, eight, as they prepare to board the Orient Express during day out in Venice Professional concerns took a back seat on Wednesday morning as John Travolta focused on personal matters during an appearance in Venice. The Hollywood star was joined by his children, daughter Ella Blue and son Benjamin, as they prepared for a scenic train journey aboard the iconic Orient Express. Looking smart in a black blazer and jeans, Travolta, 64, was in high spirits as he posed for cheery snap his family before climbing aboard.

Flanking their famous father, Ella, 18, and Benjamin, eight – Travolta’s children with actress Kelly Preston - held his hands while making their way onto the train. Ella looked stylish in a black dress and ankle boots teamed with a distinctive mustard winter coat, while Benjamin appeared to follow Travolta's lead by wearing his own blazer and jeans combination. Travolta's latest appearance comes after he celebrated the 40th anniversary of what is arguably one of his most famous films, the legendary Grease.

  • The Rebirth of Slick: Clinton, Travolta, and Recuperations of Hard-Body Nationhood in the 1990S
    THE REBIRTH OF SLICK: CLINTON, TRAVOLTA, AND RECUPERATIONS OF HARD-BODY NATIONHOOD IN THE 1990S Nathan Titman A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Dr. Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor Dr. Philip Terrie ii ABSTRACT Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor This thesis analyzes the characters and performances of John Travolta throughout the 1990s and examines how the actor's celebrity persona comments on the shifting meanings of masculinity that emerged in a post-Reagan cultural landscape. A critical analysis of President Clinton's multiple identities⎯in terms of gender, class, and race⎯demonstrates that his popularity in the 1990s resulted from his ability to continue Reagan's "hard-body" masculine national identity while seemingly responding to its more radical aspects. The paper examines how Travolta's own complex identity contributes to the emergent "sensitive patriarch" model for American masculinity that allows contradictory attitudes and identities to coexist. Starting with his iconic turn in 1977's Saturday Night Fever, a diachronic analysis of Travolta's film career shows that his ability to convey femininity, blackness, and working-class experience alongside more normative signifiers of white middle-class masculinity explains why he failed to satisfy the "hard-body" aesthetic of the 1980s, yet reemerged as a valued Hollywood commodity after neoconservative social concerns began emphasizing family values and white male responsibility in the 1990s. A study of the roles that Travolta played in the 1990s demonstrates that he, like Clinton, represented the white male body's potential to act as the benevolent patriarchal figure in a culture increasingly cognizant of its diversity, while justifying the continued cultural dominance of white middle-class males.

One memorable still photograph from the movie showed Hoffman in character in a red long-sleeved sequined evening dress and high heels, posing in front of an American flag. The still carried the text, "What do you get when you cross a hopelessly straight, starving actor with a dynamite [*1183] red sequined dress? You get America's hottest new actress." In March 1997, Los Angeles Magazine ("LAM") published the "Fabulous Hollywood Issue!" An article from this issue entitled "Grand Illusions" used computer technology to alter famous film stills to make it appear that the actors were wearing Spring 1997 fashions. The sixteen familiar scenes included movies and actors such as "North by Northwest" (Cary Grant), "Saturday Night Fever" (John Travolta), "Rear Window" (Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart), "Gone with the Wind" (Vivian Leigh and Hattie McDaniel), "Jailhouse Rock" (Elvis Presley), "The Seven Year Itch" (Marilyn Monroe), "Thelma and Louise" (Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis), and even "The Crea- ture from the Black Lagoon" (with the Creature in Nike shoes).
