    Glamour Girl! London Calling! Q and A With Playboy Playmate and Glamour Model, Larissa Bartolo Author : Robert D. Cobb Bikinis. Swimsuit. Lingerie. Welcome to Glamour Girl!, INSCMagazine’s new bi-weekly feature that will appear every Monday and Friday. GG! will feature some of today’s hottest bikini, swimsuit, Instagram and fitness models and actresses today in the realm of lifestyle, modeling and entertainment, with a touch of style, class, quality in- depth writing and eye-catching images. 1 / 9 There is hot, and then there is Australian-level hot. For whatever reason, this country seems to produce some ridiculously hot women. Whether it is plus-sized models such as Ashley Graham and Tia Provost or supermodels such as Nicole Trunfio, Elle Macpherson, Miranda Kerr, the Land Down Under is a proverbial factory of hotness. Not to be confused with my native Cleveland’s factory of sadness, but Australia seems to pump out world- class hotties with the efficiency of a Ford assembly line. Actresses such as Nicole Kidman, Rachael Taylor call OZ home. Other models such as Shanina Shaik, Jessica Hart call the one-time British penal colony terra firma. 2 / 9 Much like them, Sydney-born and London-based Playboy model and glamour model, Larissa Bartolo is also a proud Aussie, through and through. Bartolo, who has appeared in notable lad magazines such as FHM, Maxim, Zoo and Playboy, is a curvy, head- turning, neck-breaking ode of Aussie goodness this side of Foster’s. Blonde or brunette, it doesn’t matter as 3 / 9 Bartolo’s hotness is on point with her fellow Aussie compatriots.

  • Chinese Television Between Propaganda and Entertainment
    Chinese Television between Propaganda and Entertainment: Socialist Traditions, Marketisation and Popular TV Dramas, 1992-2017 by Yingzi WANG School of Social Sciences and Humanities A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University March 2019 © Yingzi WANG (2019) Abstract The ‘reform and opening’ policy initiated since 1978 has profoundly changed the operation and function of Chinese television. Following the accelerated market reforms from 1992, the production of Chinese TV programmes has become increasingly driven by ratings and oriented towards popular entertainment. Within this context, this project aims to examine how Chinese television has evolved over recent decades in response to wider political, economic and cultural changes in China, with a focus on prime-time television dramas broadcast between 1992 and 2017. It situates the analysis of TV dramas within the spectrum of two poles – propaganda and entertainment, aiming to explore how these TV programmes have continued to serve the propaganda imperatives of the Party-state, while at the same time responding to audience demands regarding entertainment. In order to map the changes and continuities exemplified by Chinese TV dramas, this project has adopted a mixed-method approach. This approach includes a systematic quantitative analysis to delineate long-term trends, and four qualitative case studies to establish a more thorough understanding of the detailed transformation in Chinese television. The thesis demonstrates that while Chinese television has become increasingly driven by commercial values that prioritise audience interests and popular elements, television entertainment in China still needs to align with official ideological lines.

  • Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society
    Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society by Wei Huang B. A., Huaqiao University, 2013 Extended Essays Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication (Dual Degree in Global Communication) Faculty of Communication, Art & Technology © Wei Huang 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Wei Huang Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: Music-Based TV Talent Shows in China: Celebrity and Meritocracy in the Post-Reform Society Examining Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Frederik Lesage Senior Supervisor Assistant Professor School of Communication Simon Fraser University Baohua Wang Supervisor Professor School of Communication Communication University of China Date Defended/Approved: August 31, 2015 ii Abstract Meritocracy refers to the idea that whatever our social position at birth, society should offer the means for those with the right “talent” to “rise to top.” In context of celebrity culture, it could refer to the idea that society should allow all of us to have an equal chance to become celebrities. This article argues that as a result of globalization and consumerism in the post-reform market economy, the genre of music-based TV talent shows has become one of the most popular TV genres in China and has at the same time become a vehicle of a neoliberal meritocratic ideology. The rise of the ideology of meritocracy accompanied the pace of market reform in post-1980s China and is influenced by the loss of social safety nets during China’s transition from a socialist to a market economy.

As an important research topic in LBSN, submodular optimization in location-based social networks (SO-LBSN) has been considered by many studies, because it is useful in applications such as service location selection, marketing, and tourist trip planning. However, due to the rich information in LBSN (e.g., locations, user relationships), various constraints (e.g., spatial constraint, routing constraint) could be specified in LBSN applications, existing methods often fail in solving such problems on SO-LBSN efficiently. In this thesis, we study three typical problems on SO-LBSN, and utilize the location information, the properties of the submodular functions and the constraints to develop efficient algorithms.
