  • AIB Newsletter Announcements the Most Up-To-Date Announcements Are Also on the AIB Homepage at Aib.Msu.Edu
    Academy of International Business NewsletterVol. 23, No. 3 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Exciting Times Ahead! Dear AIB Colleagues: Today has been a much awaited day for everyone in the United States. Along with many others, my husband and I watched the solar eclipse this morning. We were in the 60% band so saw only a partial eclipse; still, it was magical. A day to remember! I will remember today because of this letter also. As the 30th president of AIB, I join a highly distinguished group of former AIB presidents, going back all the way to John Fayerweather who served as AIB’s first president 57 years ago in 1960-1961. Reading Jean Boddewyn’s eulogy for John Fayerweather (https://aib.msu.edu/Fellow/22/John-Fayerweather) is a humbling experience. I have no such “crowning achievements” as Fayerweather’s 1969 monograph nor do I have a legacy Lorraine Eden as “broad and deep” as Fayerweather’s. Still, what I hope to do during my term as AIB president is to follow in Fayerweather’s footsteps by contributing in some small ways to AIB, “which he loved so much and to which he gave of himself repeatedly, in many guises and so fruitfully.” AIB Executive Board I do this, of course, not alone but with a group of committed colleagues. On behalf of the 2017-2018 members of AIB Executive Board, I want to say how honored I and the other members of the board are to be serving as your execu- tive committee this coming year.

THE RECENT HISTORY OF HOME RuN BASEBALLS The summer of 1998 marked the rebirth of America's pastime, Major League Baseball, following several years of stunted growth caused by 1994's player strike. The resurgence is attributed in large part to the general public's fascination with the summer-long chase of Roger Maris's single-season record of sixty-one home runs. The St. Louis Cardinals' Mark McGwire and his Popeye-esque forearms led the charge, blasting twenty-seven home runs before the end of May, putting him on pace to hit more than eighty home runs by season's end.' In June, the Chicago Cubs' "Slammin"' Sammy Sosa smashed twenty home runs to set the all-time single-month home run record and position himself just four home runs behind McGwire, thirty-seven to thirty-three, beginning the season-long race to sixty-one.2 On August 10, Sosa finally caught McGwire, hitting his forty-fifth and forty-sixth home runs.

  • The Uniqueness of Baseball As an American Sport - a Psycho-Biblical Analysis*
    International Journal of Science Culture and Sport December 2016 : 4(4) ISSN : 2148-1148 Doi : 10.14486/IntJSCS589 Field : Sport Sociology Type : Review Article Recieved: 30.08.2016 –Accepted: 24.10.2016 The Pastime Past Time: The Uniqueness of Baseball as an American Sport - A Psycho-Biblical Analysis* Paul CANTZ¹, Daniel L. KAPLAN², Kalman J. KAPLAN³ ¹PsyD, ABPP, University - Chicago, Department of Psychology; Chicago, USA ²PhD, Independent Practice, USA ³ University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine Department of Psychiatry; Chicago,USA Email: [email protected] Abstract The essence of what makes baseball unique amongst sporting competitions can be difficult to articulate. In this paper we suggest that what links baseball and American culture is a shared reliance, often implicit, on a biblical as opposed to a more Graeco-European way of appreciating life. Devoid of a cross-cultural perspective, however, baseball’s biblical substrate is initially difficult to discern, and therefore it is instructive to provide contrast by comparing the modern game of baseball to Ancient Greek sports and motifs. This might seem like a curious comparison except for the fact that the Ancient Greeks are credited with inaugurating the very enterprise of organized athletic competition through the Olympic games, and in so doing establishing a distinctly Graeco-Roman undercurrent that permeates most other modern sports, with notable exception, we argue, to the most Hebraic of sports: Baseball. Keywords: Baseball, Bible, American Culture, Greek Mythology * A version of this paper was first presented at the 25th Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture. Copyright©IntJSCS (www.iscsjournal.com) - 367 Cantz et al, The Pastime Past Time: The Uniqueness of… IntJSCS, 2016; 4(4):367-380 Introduction Although the majority of baseball fans may be intimately familiar with the rules of America’s favorite pastime, the essence of what makes baseball unique – what qualitatively distinguishes it from every other major athletic competition – can be difficult to articulate.

  • Maxo Kream Brandon Banks Deluxe Album Zip Download Brandon Banks
    maxo kream brandon banks deluxe album zip download Brandon Banks. A tradition forged over industry history, the major-label transition is often the make-or-break moment for a rising artist. With commercial pressure looming, many artists are coerced into downplaying what makes them unique, stripping singularity in favor of mass appeal. Of course this has mixed results: while many artists find their place in mainstream culture, just as many fall by the wayside, frustrating long-time listeners. Fortunately for Houston-born rapper Maxo Kream, his RCA deal has not soured his style. There are a couple of radio-ready features -- Travis Scott limply croons "The Relays," while A$AP Ferg meanders on the thumping "Murda Blocc" -- but they're quickly forgotten amid the project's mix of no-nonsense storytelling and pounding trap, the sounds on which Kream has built his name. Instead, a higher budget produces a greater range of instrumentation; from the warped orchestration of "Bissonet" to the Rich Brian-esque "Brothers," Brandon Banks' beats are consistently fresh-sounding and apt in mood. Of course, Kream's staple storytelling is present. The rapper's best narratives have always addressed wider issues through a grounded, personal lens, and Brandon Banks is no exception: "8 Figures" critiques obsession through anecdotes of personal struggle, while "Brenda" discusses single motherhood in the same manner as its 2Pac namesake. This even makes for one of the album's highlights on standout "Meet Again," where a poignant letter to incarcerated friends covers broad strokes of street violence, broken families, and kinship. Building on the family-centric lyrics of 2018's Punken, Brandon Banks also gives greater insight into Kream's father, who used the eponymous alias throughout his life.

Welcome to the eleventh issue of The Westcliff Week. As the Government gradually reduces its restrictions on staying at home, I hope that pupils and families have been able to enjoy the increased freedom, albeit whilst still maintaining requirements in relation to social distancing. It appears evident that while much progress has been made in reducing the rate of infection, there remains more to be done before society shall be able to return to the more usual way of operating. Despite the ongoing challenges presented by living with the coronavirus, our pupils continue to impress us with their talent and thoughtfulness. There are many examples which cross my desk each week and on this occasion I wish to offer my thanks and Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulations to Joseph Hankey and Samin Afshari. thank all my colleagues who have been involved in Both boys have demonstrated wonderful musical preparing for the return of our pupils. To those ability in their recent videos posted on the School’s teachers who will be returning to deliver the lessons, Facebook page.
