  • ​Reviews of the Ring Series the Ring Series, Also Known As “Ringu
    Reviews of The Ring Series ​ The Ring series, also known as “Ringu” or just “Ring”, is considered the founding factor in the west’s interest in Japanese horror and helped bridge the gap between international films. Based on a series of novels written by Koji Suzuki, the films revolve around a cursed videotape that kills anyone who watches it after seven days. Though the first book is a horror­mystery, its two sequels Spiral and Loop are a medical mystery and a science fiction mystery respectively, all having intriguing storylines and plot twists that explore the sinister virus that originates from the videotape rather than a haunting curse. The Ring series has spawned a TV movie, two TV series, a fantastic Japanese film series, a crumby Korean film, and a respectible American movies too. And we’re gonna review all of them in this mega­review. The franchise reflects a lot of modern fears in society – a fear of technology, urban legends, deadly illnesses (the AIDS scare in the 1980s and 1990s), unexpected pregnancy (as seen in Spiral), and the more traditional scares of evil and monsters. The main antagonist, Sadako Yamamura, takes a lot of inspiration from Japanese mythology and traditions. She is an “onryō”, or a vengeful female spirit, sporting the traditional long stringy hair and wears a white dress. Her origin is based on several folktales, most notably about a woman who is chucked down a well, where she dies and rises as a ghost. Obviously, there will be spoilers for the books and films throughout these mini­reviews, so be weary.

  • ABSTRACT BALL, SARAH KELLY VIRGINIA MCKAY. the Uncanny in Japanese and American Horror Film: Hideo Nakata’S Ringu and Gore Verbinski’S Ring
    ABSTRACT BALL, SARAH KELLY VIRGINIA MCKAY. The Uncanny in Japanese and American Horror Film: Hideo Nakata’s Ringu and Gore Verbinski’s Ring. (Under the direction of Maria Pramaggiore.) In the last few decades, interest in the uncanny in the body of literary theory has surged. The uncanny is a ubiquitous presence 21st century American and abroad, and it provides a useful metaphor for understanding the implications of some of the conventions of post-modernism. This thesis explores a contemporary definition of the uncanny as manifested through two film interpretations (Ringu and Ring) of the same source material, a novel titled Ringu by Koji Suzuki. Through a brief exploration of the historical evolution of the idea of the uncanny and the various critical cruxes surrounding it, I have developed six working characteristics of the uncanny as a base for my analysis of Ringu and Ring. Furthermore, I have explored the social, historical, and cultural underpinnings of Suzuki’s original novel and its path to Japanese and eventually American theatres. Within the narrative of both films, the uncanny is manifested through extended use of the doppelganger and repetition. There is no significant difference in the films’ rendering of the uncanny through narrative. The films differ slightly in their presentation of uncanny sound and visual elements: Ringu relies primarily on sound and characters’ internal experience to produce the uncanny, whereas Ring focuses on the visual and characters’ external experience. The films unify their internal rendering of the uncanny with their metatextual (and commercial) behavior with the gaze, an aspect of both films that implicates the viewer in their propagation of the uncanny and the film franchise.

  • Bindery Techniques ® Olumeolume 6 of the Standard Looks at Binding Techniques, the All-Important final Stage of Print Production
    A Sappi Guide to Designing for Print: Tips, Techniques and Methods for 6 Achieving Optimum Printing Results Bindery Techniques ® olumeolume 6 of The Standard looks at binding techniques, the all-important final stage of print production. The choice of binding method is frequently dictated by a book’s physical size and thickness, functionality and cost, but within these parameters, the design possibilities are numerous. The Standard, an educational reference tool aimed at the interests of professionals in print communications, shows how technical considerations can direct and enhance creative decisions. This edition of The Standard is printed on McCoy, part of the Sappi family of eco-friendly, high-quality coated papers. McCoy joins Sappi’s Opus, Somerset and Flo as some of the most frequently specified coated brands in North America. HISTORY OF BINDING From ancient manuscripts to mass-produced magazines, binding has served to keep pages together and in sequential order. BINDING AS DESIGN Binding can be inconspicuous and functional or it can be a key decorative accent that is integral to the design. BINDING TECHNIQUES Practical considerations play a critical role in choosing the right binding technique for the job. GUIDE TO BINDING MATERIALS A wide range of materials, colors, and sizes expands the design options for every binding technique. BINDING GLOSSARY Bindery operators speak in a jargon all their own.

  • Code Loops Are R42 Loops
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector JOURNAL OF ALGEBRA 130, 385-387 (1990) Code Loops Are R42 Loops ORIN CHEIN * Department of Mathematics, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19122 AND EDGAR G. GOODAIRE~ Department of Mathematics and Statisrics, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada AIC 5S7 Communicated by George Glauberman Received December 22, 1988 1. INTRODUCTION In [9], Griess considers a class of loops, called code loops, which have applicability to a construction of the monster and its nonassociative algebra (see [7]). In [6], the authors characterize these loops as Moufang loops which have at most one nonidentity square (and hence also at most one nonidentity commutator and at most one nonidentity associator). Moufang loops with one or more of these “uniqueness” properties play an important role in the authors’ work on loops which have alternative loop rings [2-5, 81. For example, a nonassociative loop which has an alter- native loop ring over a ring of characteristic different from two must be a Moufang loop with a unique nonidentity commutator and associator (which coincide). It is the purpose of the present paper to prove that a nonassociative Moufang loop with a unique nonidentity square (i.e., a nonassociative code loop) must, in fact, have an alternative loop ring over any ring of characteristic two. * The research of this author was supported by a grant from the American Philosophical Society and by a research leave from Temple University. + The research of this author was supported in part by Grant A9087 from the Natural Sciences and Research Council of Canada.
