  • Superior Germ Plasm in Dairy Herds
    Superior Germ Plasm in Dairy Herds By R. R. Graves^ Principal Specialist in Dairy Cattle Breedings and M. H. Fohrman^ Senior Dairy Hushandman^^ Division of Dairy Cattle Breeding, Feedingj and Management^ Bureau of Dairy Industry WITH more than 26 million dairy cows spread over the entire United States, a survey of herds for superior germ plasm is a tremendous undertaking. How the survey which is the subject of this article was conducted among agricultural experiment stations and the owners of more than a thousand commercial herds is described in later pages. It is sufficient at this point to say that no similar project on so large a scale had previously been attempted in this country. Hitherto the genetic study of dairy cattle has been restricted for the most part to analysis of the hereditary make-up of the individual sire or dam. Some attempts have been made in studies in the Bureau of Dairy Industry, and more recently by the Holstein-Friesian Association, to show the inheritance for production being built in some herds through the use of a number of sires. To analyze all the sires used in herds during the entire period of record keeping, however, and to show the female lines of descent and their relationship to the various sires in a large number of herds, is pioneer work in the field of animal breeding. In the present state of genetic knowledge relating to livestock, many might call it premature to attempt a survey of progress in breeding superior germ plasm in dairy-cattle herds in which records of production have been kept over a period of years.

  • Film/Broadcast Content the Increasing Role of “Tentpoles” in the Content Industry
    Film/Broadcast Content The increasing role of “tentpoles” in the content industry The need for tentpoles in the content industry Overweight (Maintain) The content industry and a tent have one thing in common: both need a tentpole to support the entire structure. In the content industry, tentpoles are defined as hit titles Industry Report that provide a source of steady cash flow, such as the blockbuster films of movie studios July 27, 2015 and the top-rated programs of TV networks. The content industry is vulnerable to the success or failure of a title as well as changes in seasonality. Establishing a tentpole by investing around 70% of the annual budget on Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd. just one or two projects could prove an effective strategy against such risks. If tentpole [Telecom Service / Media] films or shows become a hit, they can compensate for losses made elsewhere. Creating a long-term tentpole lineup, increasing the number of tentpoles, and being able to predict Jee-hyun Moon future revenue can lead to a structural improvement in the business. In other words, +822-768-3615 tentpoles can make the content industry more predictable. [email protected] Tentpole strategies used in the film distribution and broadcasting industries The tentpole strategy is primarily used in the film distribution and broadcasting industries. A major proponent of the strategy is Walt Disney, which plans its five-year release lineup based on its Disney and Marble Comics franchises. The media giant has recently seen its film profits steadily grow after releasing a string of successful tentpole movies every quarter.

    Abbotsford Sailing Club News 07/04/2021 Wrap-up of the 85th 12Ft skiff Australian Championships It was an extremely lively Easter weekend at the club with all the 12ft skiff crews visiting, the racing and the dinners and socialising after the racing.

  • Successful Communication in the Workplace 1
    Successful Communication in the Workplace 1 Leslie Knope of Parks and Recreation: Successful Communication in the Workplace November 28, 2016 Leslie Knope 2 Introduction According to Genderlect Styles, a theory by Deborah Tannen, women traditionally communicate for relationship while men communicate for power. In order to work past oppression in the workplace, women have had to adjust their communication style to communicate for power vs. relationship, but often receive negative attention for it. Are male communication styles for power the only way to gain success in the workplace today? The television show, Parks and Recreation, shows a good example of a character, Leslie Knope, who exemplifies both types of communication: communicating for power and relationship. She takes a lot of time to invest in her friends and usually, as a comedic element of the series, wants everyone to like her and everyone to be happy, but this usually causes more harm than good. She learns throughout the series that her success comes from her care for her friends and her town while commanding power to stand out as a leader in order to rise in politics. Can success only be gained when we communicate for power instead of relationships? I will look to answer the question of how television series, films, and the media depict “successful” communication practices for women in the workplace by analyzing the character of Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation. My literature review will discuss how the media portrays women, and what truth these depictions hold for women in the working world. Literature Review A large portion of research done on this topic discusses how prominent female roles in our media are scrutinized, and how positive female roles of women in power are generally underrepresented.

  • An Ambivalent Ground: Re-Placing Australian Literature
    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature James Paull A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New South Wales 2007 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: PAULL First name: JAMES Other name/s: CAMPBELL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts Title: An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Narratives of place have always been crucial to the construction of Australian identity. The obsession with identity in Australia betrays longstanding uncertainty. It is not difficult to interpret in this uncertainty a replaying of the deeper insecurities surrounding the settler community's legal and more broadly cultural claims to the land. Such insecurities are typically understood negatively. In contrast, this thesis accepts the uncertainty of identity as an activating principle, appropriate to any interpretation of the narratives and themes that inform what it means to be Australian. Fundamental to this uncertainty is a provisionality in the post-colonial experience of place that is papered over by misleadingly coherent spatial narratives that stem from the imperial inheritance of Australian mythology. Place is a model for the tension between the coherence of mythic narratives and the actual rhizomic formlessness of daily life. Place is the ‘ground’ of that life, but an ambivalent ground. An Ambivalent Ground approaches postcolonial Australia as a densely woven text. In this text, stories that describe the founding of a nation are enveloped by other stories, not so well known, that work to transform those more familiar narratives.
