Abstract:

This paper studies the adult online entertainment industry, particularly the consumption side of the market. In particular, it focuses on the demographics and consumption patterns of those who subscribe to adult entertainment websites. On the surface, this business would seem to face a number of obstacles. Regulatory and legal barriers have already been mentioned. In addition, those charging for access to adult entertainment face competition from similar content available without a fee. In the context of adult entertainment, free access offers consumers an extra benefit: online payments tend t

Abstract:

As the related phenomena of exorcism and deliverance ministry vividly attest, the popular entertainment industry in the United States possesses a tremendous capacity for influencing religious beliefs and behaviours. Since the early 1970s, cinematic and popular literary treatments of demonic possession and affliction have helped create recurrent demands for exorcism within various sectors of American society. This paper examines the peculiar dynamics by which markets for exorcism have been created and sustained by the entertainment industry, and also the various ways in which these markets have

Abstract:

For a jittery radio industry concerned about the future of American broadcasting in the early months after America's entry into World War II, William B. Lewis came as a godsend. As head of the Domestic Radio Division of the Office of Facts and Figures (OFF), and later the Office of War Information (OWI, June 1942), Lewis, a former vicepresident of CBS, reassured the industry that the commercial structure of American radio would remain unchanged. In his first meeting with network executives and radio sponsors and advertisers in January 1942, he outlined his pragmatic approach to radio's war eff

Abstract:

This article looks at cosmopolitanism in the American film musical through the lens of the genre’s self-reflexivity. By incorporating musical numbers into its narrative, the musical mirrors the entertainment industry mise en abyme, and establishes an intrinsic link to America through the act of (cultural) performance. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope and its recent application to the genre of the musical, I read the implicitly spatial backstage/stage duality overlaying narrative and number—the musical’s dual registers—as a means of challenging representations of Americanne

Abstract:

Len Deighton's book, although not well known among sociologists, provided as early as 1972 a profound and shrewd analysis not only of the American movie industry, its milieux and culture of deception and their influence on old Europe, but also of the more general mechanisms of a radical marketisation of the self. The novel can, thus, contribute to a better understanding of America's hegemonic position in Europe, insofar as it results in far-reaching Americanisation.

Abstract:

This article reassesses the relationships of the Central Intelligence Agency and Department of Defense with the American entertainment industry. Both governmental institutions present their relationships as modest in scale, benign in nature, passive, and concerned with historical and technical accuracy rather than politics.

However, we build on a patchy reassessment begun at the turn of the 21st century, using a significant new set of documents acquired through the Freedom of Information Act.

Because this business is global, repercussions will be felt overseas. Uncertain currents and contradictory trends are evident, and they are due as much to the industry's own internal dynamics as to external forces over which companies have somewhat less control.

The morphologic and anatomic properties of the groups and their surgical implications are described. In our preoperative evaluation of the African-American patient, we try to place the nose into one of the these categories.

I show how these racial combinations were a studied tactic to succeed in white vaudeville, a corporate entertainment industry that capitalized on racialized images and fast changes in characters.

Abstract The rise of the American counterculture between the early- to mid-1960s and early- to mid-1970s was closely associated with the growth of environmentalism. This article explores how both informed popular music, which during these years became not only a prominent form of entertainment but also a forum for cultural and social criticism. In particular, through contextual and lyrical analyses of recordings by The Beach Boys, the article identifies patterns of change and continuity in the articulation of countercultural, ecological, and related sensibilities. During late 1966 and early 19

Abstract:

Postmodernism is a movement that grew out of modernism. Movements in art, literature, and cinema focused on a particular stance. The visual artists who created entertainment focused on expressing the creator herself/himself beginning from German expressionism to modernism, surrealism, cubism, etc. These art movements played an important part in what an artist (literature, art, and visual) portrayed to his or her audience. As perspectives played an important part, an understanding of what the artist needed to portray was critical. Modernism dealt with this portrayal, which came about due to the

AbstractThe role of mentoring for women in sports industry has gathered attention among researchers in the past years (Bower, 2009; Bower, & Hums 2009, 2014; Weaver, & Chelladurai, 1999, 2002). Since few women are in leadership positions (Acosta, & Carpenter, 2014), cross-gender mentoring relationships are more likely to happen (Hopkins et al., 2008). However, according to Kram (1985), cross-gender mentoring relationships are more complex in terms of individual development and quality of the developmental relationship. In particular, role modeling function is limited (Kram, 1985).

21116 Background: Most studies of hereditary breast cancer report that BRCA1 associated tumors are characterized by high grade and hormone receptor negativity, while those associated with BRCA2 are more similar to sporadic cases. Several groups have demonstrated that BRCA1 mutations, but not BRCA2 mutations, are associated with reduced survival in women with breast cancer. These studies have primarily included women of European and Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. No study to date has assessed outcomes in an ethnically diverse cohort of high-risk individuals.

Abstract:

This article makes a case for the inclusion of sport hunting in studies of consumer culture. This argument is advanced through an analysis of “the hunting industry” in North America. The hunting industry comprises a vast commercial network, exemplified by specialty retailers and advertiser-supported media involved in the marketing of hunting-related merchandise. The analysis contrasts environmental and cultural conservation, on the one hand, with consumerism and commercial media, on the other. These themes are situated historically and theoretically and then examined empirically by focusing on

BackgroundPediatric patients with relapsed and refractory osteosarcoma have poor prognoses with few treatment options. Allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) has not yet shown a graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect for osteosarcoma. Natural killer (NK) cells demonstrate antitumor activity against osteosarcoma, but adoptively transferred NK cells have limited proliferation, cytotoxicity, and persistence in vivo. To enhance an NK-specific GVT effect, we propose blocking the poliovirus receptor CD155 checkpoint molecule, which is overexpressed on osteosarcoma and can engage both activating and inhibi
