While the epidemiologic features of HIV infection vary globally, marginalized populations, such as men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers (FSW), and injection drug users (IDUs) are consistently at increased risk for HIV infection relative to the general population. Targeting such marginalized, or hidden, populations has become a global priority to maximize the effectiveness of the public health response to the HIV pandemic. Members of these populations are often difficult to find, and the size of these populations is largely unknown, making it difficult to calculate epidemiologic measures of disease and to evaluate the reach and coverage of public health programs.

In addition to reading, digesting, and understanding the current city charter, the committee undertook the task of determining how it really works in practice. To this end, the committee used information and data obtained from various sources, as follows: • Testimony from present and past elected city officials who have had direct experience in working under the current charter. • A survey of selected community leaders conducted to assess their willingness to run for office under the current charter vs. alternative charters. • A survey of city employees to assess their experience in how the charter contriButes to or detracts from their job functions, and to solicit their views about the charter itself. • One-on-one interviews with Business leaders and agencies that routinely work with the city. This report presents the information from the above sources and the committee’s conclusions. Although the committee and the entire commission memBers did review and study the Broader literature regarding forms of city government, this report does not represent this Broader perspective. The report is focused on the information we have obtained specific to Saratoga Springs, all of which have Been newly obtained in the last several months.

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.

  • A MICRO-ANALYTIC STUDY of GOSSIP in ELDERLY TALK TUGBA ASLAN Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle

    A MICRO-ANALYTIC STUDY of GOSSIP in ELDERLY TALK TUGBA ASLAN Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle

    A MICRO-ANALYTIC STUDY OF GOSSIP IN ELDERLY TALK TUGBA ASLAN Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Integrated PhD in Educational and Applied Linguistics Newcastle University School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences February 2017 Abstract The phenomenon of gossip, broadly defined as the evaluative and/or informative talk about absent third parties, has been one of the most commonly used forms of talk since the very beginning of the human interaction; and accordingly has been studied from various schools of research such as sociology, psychology, linguistics, religious studies etc. (Gluckman, 1963; Fine & Rosnow, 1978; Bergmann, 1993; Foster, 2004). However, the sequential organisation of gossip talk, and the topics of gossip still remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate this underexplored phenomenon with an emic perspective in an old people’s home in Turkey, where the body of research on gossip so far is limited to quantitative questionnaire data or participant perception based interview data. This PhD thesis adopts an Ethnomethodological approach, and the analysis draws on Sack’s Conversation Analysis, to shed a light on 1) the sequential organisation and 2) the topics of gossip at a micro- analytic level. From a total of 92 evaluative gossip extracts of different lengths analysed for this study, 28 are presented in this thesis. The results of the analysis add to the existent literature on two levels; the first one is sequential analysis of gossip, and the second is contextual elements present in gossip sequences. The results of the sequential analysis indicate that gossipers apply specific ways to introducing gossip, the gossip hearers have similar strategies to respond to the gossip initiation, and finally there is a systematicity in gossip endings.
