  • Kahlil Gibran a Tear and a Smile (1950)
    “perplexity is the beginning of knowledge…” Kahlil Gibran A Tear and A Smile (1950) STYLIN’! SAMBA JOY VERSUS STRUCTURAL PRECISION THE SOCCER CASE STUDIES OF BRAZIL AND GERMANY Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan P. Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

    € FUND MANAGER'S COMMENT 31/08/2021 FRAMLINGTONGBP EQUITIES AXA Framlington UK Growth Fund R GBP Fund manager's report Main changes to the portfolio during August We increased our holding in Rotork which, despite a robust trading statement, fell sharply on the disappointing news that its well-liked CEO was leaving the business. However, the prospects for the business are still robust and it should do well as carbon-intensive industries increasingly look for efficiency savings, and from the burgeoning hydrogen market. We sold our position in TP ICAP as the growth prospects for the business look underwhelming, and we also took some profits in Sanne and Experian following a strong period of outperformance. Factors affecting performance during August August got off to a slow start due to worries that monetary policy would be tightened more quickly than previously anticipated and also as a result of continued pandemic-related concerns. However, it recovered strongly due to a combination of continued strong earnings, takeover activity, and capital inflows as a result of low interest rates and higher than usual savings levels. On the M&A front, an interesting development in August has been companies receiving improved counter offers to their initial bids, with Sanne, Meggitt and Morrisons all benefiting from this. UK GDP rebounded in the second quarter, growing 4.8% from the previous three months, following a 1.6% contraction in the first quarter. The expansion was driven mainly by household consumption and government spending. The second-quarter recovery left GDP 4.4% below pre-pandemic levels. In surprising news, the inflation rate fell to 2.0% year-on-year in July, from June’s recent peak level of 2.5%.

  • 'Movers & Shakers in Retail Top 100' Report for 2017
    Welcome Welcome to the latest annual ‘Retail Insider Top 100 Movers & Shakers Glynn Davis in Retail’ report that highlights the achievements of those individuals Retailinsider.com who are helping to build their businesses by fully grasping the opportunity twitter @glynndavis presented by digital. Needless to say, in the eight years that the report has been produced it has had to evolve in order to reflect the industry and the people it is seeking to represent. Eight years down the line it is absolutely the case that the entire retail sector is in the midst of a digital transformation and so arguably this report has never been more relevant. As with last year, the people in the report are increasingly not holding the titles of e-commerce or multi-channel directors but are heading up businesses. These are the digitally focused retailers that are setting the pace and leaving many others in something of a predicament. When taking a look at the highest achievers in this report it is clear how the retail landscape is changing and where the future, and the positions of power and influence, potentially lies. However, while lots of things are changing in the industry the aim of the report remains the same in that it looks for individuals that are contributing to their organisations through outstanding achievement and showing innovative tendencies. I would very much like to thank the Advisory Panel involved in this year’s report who contributed greatly to the process and helped ensure that the final product has credibility. Finally, it’s a big thank you to K3 Retail for their highly valued continued sponsorship of this Movers & Shakers report that I feel contributes to the sector by pointing the way forward though highlighting its most valuable asset: people.
