Gulf Times 2 Tuesday, December 22, 2015 BUSINESS Turkish assets hold steady ahead of expected rate hike Reuters Ankara Turkish stocks firmed yesterday and the lira moved sideways ahead of a crucial interest rate decision that could help the central bank shake off persist- ent fears about political interfer- ence in monetary policy. The US Federal Reserve’s deci- sion last week to hike rates is widely expected to nudge Tur- key’s central bank into follow- ing suit at its meeting today. It has kept rates on hold for the past nine months despite a plunging lira, and above-target inflation. A rate rise could provide a much-needed boost to the credibility of the bank and its governor, Erdem Basci. Inves- tors worry that the central bank has failed to move due to pressure from President Tayyip Erdogan, who has repeatedly called for rate cuts and equated high rates with “treason”. Concerns about political meddling in policy - as well as security worries - have helped push the lira to a series of Mideast air travel continues record lows.

Iraq central bank devalues dinar as oil hurts its income Reuters Baghdad raq’s central bank has increased the sale price of US dollars to banks and currency exchange Icompanies by 16 dinars, or 1.37%, as the gov- ernment seeks to compensate a decline in oil rev- enue, a government offi cial and the central bank said. The sale price of the dollar “has been adjusted to 1,182 dinars,” the central bank said in a state- ment yesterday. The previous price was 1,166 dinars for a dollar, Mudher Saleh, a top economic adviser to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and former deputy central bank governor, told Reuters. “This is a small adjustment, it’s not a devalua- tion. It will increase government revenue to meet local needs,” said Saleh. A global oversupply of crude oil has pushed prices to below $40 a barrel from more than $100 a barrel in June 2014. The government depends on oil sales for 95% of its revenue. “It may be the fi rst of many steps to reduce the budget defi cit and increase the local income,” said Abdul Rahman Najm, an economics profes- sor at several universities in Baghdad. “As no im- provement in oil prices is expected, there will be more steps to reduce the value of the dinar versus the dollar.” “Iraq needs large revenues to continue the war on Daesh,” he added, using a local derogatory name of Islamic State, the group that seized large swathes of territory in the north and the west of the country.

  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond.

  • A Community Economies Approach to Consignment Clothing in Guelph, Ontario
    A Community Economies Approach to Consignment Clothing in Guelph, Ontario By Elizabeth Homer A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography with a Collaborative Specialization in International Development Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada Ó Elizabeth Homer, June 2017 ABSTRACT A Community Economies Approach to Consignment Clothing in Guelph, Ontario Elizabeth Homer Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. R. Hawkins Most studies on economic globalization and commodity chains discuss the economy as exclusively capitalist. Drawing on the works of Gibson-Graham (2006), this study utilizes a community economies framework to investigate consignment clothing sales, consumption and ownership of shops in Guelph, Ontario. The community economies literature encourages a re-imagining of the economic landscape to see diverse economies. Consequently, it is possible to see a plethora of alternative and non- capitalist economies, proving the economy is not inevitably capitalist. A mix of shop owners, seller and consumers of consignment were interviewed, using feminist research methods. Findings suggest that participants experienced consignment in ways that reflect many tenets of community economies as outlined in the literature. For example, participants believed consignment clothing is environmentally sustainable, and ethical. However, complexities arose when participants attempted to discuss the separation of consignment from the larger fashion industry, reflecting the blurring between community economies and the mainstream economy. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firstly, I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Roberta Hawkins. Your patience, advice and guidance throughout this entire process made it possible to finish with a final paper that I’m proud of.

  • Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015
    Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse.

  • ''Moments of Clarity''and Sounds of Resistance: Veiled Literary
    “Moments of Clarity” and Sounds of Resistance: Veiled Literary Subversions and De-Colonial Dialectics in the Art of Jay Z and Kanye West A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Language and Comparative Literatures of the College of Arts and Sciences by Sha’Dawn D. Battle B.A., Central State University 2007 M.A., Wright State University 2009 November 2016 Committee Chair: Sharon Dean, PH.D. Abstract “‘Moments of Clarity’ and Sounds of Resistance: Veiled Literary Subversions and De- Colonial Dialectics in the Art of Jay Z and Kanye West” employs rap music as an object of inquiry into the question of contemporary manifestations of anti-Black oppression, demonstrating the ways in which the art of rappers Jay Z and Kanye West in particular, covertly elucidates the conditions and discursive and ideological mechanisms of power that make possible the exploitation, repression, and destruction of Black bodies in America. In the first two chapters, I argue that this illuminative potential is, in part, what attributes to the political utility of mainstream rap music. My first goal is therefore to make apparent mainstream rap music’s rightful place in Black liberation politics given its ability to unveil the functionality of age-old Eurocentric, white supremacist paradigms, such as rendering Black bodies incorrigibly animal, denying Black bodies access to subjectivity, or negating Black ontology. These ideologies give rise to exclusionary monolithic constructions of what it means to be human, pathological constructions of “blackness,” Black masculinity especially, and subsequently, the arbitrary conferral of power (to both state apparatuses and individuals racially coded as “superior”), which manifests in the form of systematic and institutional racism, and ultimately, Black male disembodiment.

Simpson v. Union Oil (U.S. 1964) Plaintiff brought a private antitrust action for treble damages under 2 section 4 of the Clayton Act1 and sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. He had leased a gas station from defendant subject to a compulsory con- sigiment agreement through which defendant established retail gasoline prices. During the time in question, plaintiff sold at two cents per gallon less than defendant's price in order to meet competition. He alleged that solely because of this deviation from the agreement, defendant refused to renew the lease. The district court granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment and the court of appeals affirmed.
