  • Pelle Lindbergh Lever I Våra Minnen. Sigges
    Pelle Lindbergh lever i våra minnen. Sigges och Anna-Lisas lille knatte från Barnängsgatan på Söder och Bajens pojklag som med ishockeyvärldens bästa reflexer tog Philadelphia Flyers till Stanley Cup-final 1985. Fem månader senare var allt över. Drömmen om en ännu ljusare framtid hade suddats ut mot en vit mur. Pelle Lindberghs kärlek till höga farter och en röd Porsche tog hans liv, 26 år gammal. Som sportjournalisten och författaren Thomas Tynander skriver i sin bok "Bakom den vita masken" (2006): "Det är så hjältar föds och legender blir till". Som störst var han natten mot 13 juni 1985 då Pelle Lindbergh stod uppklädd i svart smoking på Torontos Metro Convention Centre och skakade hand med prisutdelaren, barndomsidolen och tränaren, Bernie Parent. Framför sig hade de den två meter höga trofén, Georges Vezina Trophy, priset till NHL:s bäte målvakt. Namngivet efter en målvakt i Montreal Canadiens som kollapsat under en NHL-match 28 november 1925 och avlidit i tuberkulos några månader senare. Ett pris där vinnaren röstats fram av samtliga general managers i NHL. Den här gången hade Pelle vunnit på 242 poäng mot 190 för tvåan Tom Barrasso från Buffalo Sabres, han som vunnit året innan. - Jag som trodde att det här var ett pris vikt för kanadensare och amerikaner. Helt klart den festligaste dagen i mitt liv, sa Pelle då. Det var Pelle Lindbergh som bröt den traditionen. Pelle var inte bara förste svensk att vinna trofén - Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers blev 2012 den andre - utan Pelle var även förste europé. Senare följd av tjeckiske Dominik Hasek i Buffalo Sabres (sex år 1993-2001), tyske Olaf Kölzig i Washington Capitals 2000 och finske Miikka Kiprusoff i Calgary Flames 2006.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

  • Angus Reid World Poll
    Page 1 ANGUS REID WORLD POLL - THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING THE 2000 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES ON TELEVISION - Public Release Date: August 03, 2000 These results emerged from an international public opinion survey conducted by the Angus Reid Group. This poll involved interviews among a total of 20,170 adults in 39 countries. Data collection was carried out from mid June to early July 2000. The target sample size was 500 for each country, with the exception of a 1,000 sample size in the United States. In 32 of the 39 countries, the survey sample provided national representation; in the other eight countries – Brazil, Chile, China, India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia and Uzbekistan – the survey samples are urban-only. In-person, door-to- door interviewing was used in these eight countries as well as in Argentina, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Philippines, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. Telephone interviewing was used in all other countries. The complete data set was statistically weighted so that the overall survey results reflect the proportional populations of the countries/urban areas in the global sample. The Angus Reid Group is Canada’s premier market research and public opinion polling firm with offices across Canada and the United States. The company also provides international clients with a regularly scheduled quarterly global polling program wherein upwards of 30 countries over a two-month timeframe are sampled for opinions on private sector and public matters. The Angus Reid Group also publishes, on a quarterly basis, the World Monitor – a digest of world public opinion trends and insights gleaned from its world polling activities.

When I was a sophomore contemplating majoring in history, Professor Tiersten offered an immense amount of support and encouragement. When I shared my apprehensions about writing a senior thesis with her, she assured me that I would not be on my own, and she would be there to guide me through it. Thank you Professor Tiersten for keeping your promise and helping me navigate the history major, and the senior thesis. Thank you for brainstorming with me, reading my drafts, and pushing me to work hard to produce a thesis that I can be proud of. My experience at Barnard would truly not be the same without you. Special thanks to my thesis group: Yaffa, Olivia, and Victoria. It was always nice to have people to bounce ideas off of, brainstorm with, commiserate with, and work on thesis together. I am so fortunate that we were placed in the same thesis group, and I had the opportunity to get to know you all.

    2000 Summer Olympics By Sharon Fabian 1 ​ Caption: Fireworks over the Sydney Harbour Bridge during closing ceremonies of the Olympics ​ Games in Sydney, Australia, 2000. 2 ​ Like vacations and picnics, the Olympics are summer events people look forward to arriving. As the summer of 2000 approached, people looked forward to watching the Olympics on TV. Kids took an interest in Olympic sports and signed up for similar activities. And suddenly people everywhere were interested in everything Australian. 3 ​ That is because in the year 2000, the Summer Olympics were held in Sydney, Australia. Sydney had competed against major cities in other countries of the world to win the right to host the Olympics. It was selected in 1993 to host the 2000 Games. 4 ​ Hosting an Olympic competition is always a major undertaking. The 2000 Summer Olympics, also known as the Millennium Games, were no exception. Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia, had to get ready for the arrival of Olympic teams from 199 countries. Altogether, 10,651 athletes would compete, including 6,582 men and 4,069 women. 5 ​ As with past Olympics in other cities, the 2000 Summer Olympics began with an opening ceremony. A grand spectacle portraying a traditional livestock roundup in the Australian Outback was presented. It was said to represent the coming together of people from all over the world for the Olympic Games. 6 ​ The three cute new Olympic mascots also made an appearance. There was Olly, a kookaburra, Syd, a platypus, and Millie, an echidna. 7 ​ The parade of athletes into the stadium and the arrival of the Olympic torch were, as always, highlights of the ceremony.
