Amazon's Antitrust Paradox
LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible. -

When Joseph Smith ran for president in 1844, he spoke like a radi- cal democrat. “In the United States, the people are the government,” his campaign platform proclaimed. He enthusiastically endorsed popular sovereignty, offered a plan to abolish slavery by gradually buying out slaveholders with revenues from the sale of public lands, and proposed to pardon every convict, “blessing them as they go, and saying to them in the name of the Lord, go thy way and sin no more.”1 Smith’s rhetoric reflected the high view of human nature that is a cornerstone of Mormon theology. -
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time. -

Reading Resources for E.O.C. Reading SOL Paired Passages New SOL Question Formats Reading and Thinking Resources Inference Comprehension Resources Literature Resources State Testing Resources Developed by High School Reading Specialists Loudoun County Public Schools March 2013 Page 1 of 245 Purpose This booklet is designed for LCPS High School English Teachers and Reading Specialists to use during classroom instruction as we prepare our 11th grade students for the upcoming spring E.O.C. Reading SOL. The Virginia Department of Education has changed the format and content of the E.O.C. Reading SOL test. The new test will contain paired passages and newly formatted questions. Students will be expected to read and to compare nonfiction, fiction, or a poem focused on the same topic. Students will answer questions about the paired passages and will be expected to answer questions comparing the content, style, theme, purpose, and intended audience for both passages. The paired passages in this booklet are literature selections from various state released E.O.C. Reading tests. The LCPS High School Reading Specialists wrote test questions for these passages using the new released VA DOE question formats. In addition, the High School Reading Specialists contributed helpful reading and literature tips that can be used during classroom instruction to prepare our students. High School Reading Specialists Loudoun County Public Schools Page 2 of 245 These Loudoun County Public High School Reading Specialists put forth time and effort to create this resource booklet for teachers and students.

Platform, Vol. 3, No. 1
Platform, Vol. 3, No. 1 Richard Maxwell and the Paradox of Theatre Theron Schmidt (Queen Mary, University of London) The seemingly simple aesthetic form of performances by Richard Maxwell and the New York City Players, in which actors speak and move with minimal emotional affectation and in which the scripts are constructed largely out of apparently insignificant elements of everyday speech, seems to baffle academic and popular critics alike. We read into these choices a set of apparent contradictions and paradoxical strategies which seem to challenge our conception of how theatre works. So Philippa Wehle in Theatre Forum and Robin Pogrebin in the New York Times both grapple with the curious way in which they come to have emotional investment in the characters in Maxwell’s plays, with Wehle asking “what is the appeal of these curious stock figures who barely move and who deliver their mundane monologues in a flat monotone […]?” (75) and Pogrebin puzzling that “[s]omehow the less demonstrative their behavior, the deeper they seem” (1). In the Guardian, Lyn Gardner similarly describes the effect as “weirdly compelling” and “curiously moving” (my emphasis), and Sarah Hemming writes in the Financial Times, “paradoxically, [the characters] and their troubles seemed unusually vivid and moving.” There is clearly something enigmatic about Maxwell’s work, and as an audience member at 2006’s The End of Reality at the Barbican, London, I left not quite sure of what I had seen. Despite the presence of all the traditional elements of a play – including -

Crises keep intruding, making it all but impossible to look beyond daily headlines to what lies over the horizon. In those circumstances, thinking “outside the box,” to use the cliché, too often loses out to keeping up with the inbox. That is why every four years the National Intelligence Council (NIC) undertakes a major assessment of the forces and choices shaping the world before us over the next two decades.

January 2005 BURIED TREASURE Developing a Management Guide From Mountains of School Data A Report Prepared under a Grant from The Wallace Foundation to the Center on Reinventing Public Education Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs University of Washington Seattle, Washington Mary Beth Celio and James Harvey I The Wallace Foundation seeks to support and share effective ideas and practices that expand learning and enrichment opportunities for all people. Its three current objectives are: • Strengthen education leadership to improve student achievement • Improve after-school learning opportunities • Expand participation in arts and culture For more information and research on these and other related topics, please visit our Knowledge Center at www.wallacefoundation.org.

It begins with an imaginary discus- sion at Rebel Valley School District, during which a new superintendent leads his board through the guide. Indicators are discrete pieces of information, like water temperature or the Dow Jones Average, designed to alert leaders and members of the public about what is going on in large, complex systems. -
