What Happens to Disney's Business if Comic Book Movies and TV Become More Like the Comics?
Apr 15th 2014 11:30AM
After months of promising that its comic book movies would impact the show, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns tonight with an episode that further explores the after-effects of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Are Marvel and Walt Disney creating a dangerous precedent? What will be the long-term business effects of establishing this sort of cross-media continuity?
Host Ellen Bowman puts these questions to Fool analysts Nathan Alderman and Tim Beyers in this episode of 1-Up On Wall Street, The Motley Fool's web show in which we talk about the big-money names behind your favorite movies, toys, video games, comics, and more.

As viewers, Tim and Nathan say that Hydra's reappearance and the disassembling of S.H.I.E.L.D. adds heft to a show that needed it. Live+7 ratings -- where Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. tends to excel -- should soar once word of the changes spreads.
And yet, in a way, The Winter Soldier probably didn't go far enough. Comic book writer Marc Bernardin, who also writes for The Hollywood Reporter, pointed out on Twitter that the movie could have easily made reference to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in an end credits scene. That the directors chose not to reinforces the notion that Marvel sees TV as a vehicle to market movies, and not much more.
Or, perhaps, it's a device to stitch together continuity. By establishing an interlocking Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tim says that Marvel and Disney are guaranteeing an endless series of crossovers and universe-threatening events that demand audiences show up for the next exciting installment. We've seen both Marvel and DC use this strategy to sell comics for years, and it usually works for a time. But it can also drive readers away and force reboot after reboot. Investors need to understand the risk when evaluating just how big this segment of Disney's business can become.
Nathan says it'll be years before this risk manifests, if it ever does. In the meantime, the shared Marvel universe is expanding Disney's opportunity by giving birth to new, monetizable properties. Captain America: The Winter Soldier has already teased a Dr. Strange movie while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is developing a resurrected and arguably more powerful Hydra, which could become a permanent antagonist in both the MCU and on Marvel TV.
Now it's your turn to weigh in. Do you believe Marvel is taking a risk by creating an in-continuity universe where TV can impact comic book movies, and vice versa? Please watch the video to get the full story, and then leave a comment to let us know where you stand. And be sure to check back here often for more 1-Up On Wall Street segments.
Box office gold is nothing next to this $14.4 trillion investment opportunity
We know you have an opinion about the impact Captain America: The Winter Soldier will have on Disney because you're more than a fan. You follow this business too, with a discerning eye. And like us, you knew that Disney struck gold when when it purchased Marvel in 2009. You know what? That single business insight could have tripled your money.
Opportunities to cash in like this come around all the time. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in EXPLOSIVE lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce superheroic returns while leading a $14.4 TRILLION industry.

Many leaders in civil society acknowledge that female perspectives add value to the political process and are critical to the formation of strong democracies. However, despite their proven abilities as leaders and agents of change, all too often women's skills, knowledge, and leadership talents are overlooked. The obstacles preventing women from participating in political life are not merely an issue in emerging democracies but in long-established ones as well. Across the globe, women experience marginalization from the political sphere, often as a result of discriminatory laws, practices, attitudes and gender stereotypes, low levels of education, lack of access to health care and the disproportionate effect of poverty on women. On Wednesday, April 5th, Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee headlines a distinguished panel of women entrepreneurs, activists and academics to explore how female voices can either be privileged or pushed to the peripheries of the political process. Together, panelists will consider how the presidency of Donald Trump might impact democratic engagement not only in the United States but around the world. Ms. Gbowee will be joined by: Tanya Henderson, Founder and Executive Director, Mina's List Mikaela Luttrell-Rowland, Associate Director, Women, Peace, and Security Program, Earth Institute, Columbia University Tamika Mallory, Organizing Committee, Women's March Jamia Wilson, Executive Director, Women, Action, and the Media (WAM!) The panel will be moderated by Dr. Lisa L. Thompson, Assistant Professor of Homilitics, Union Theological Seminary.

An overview of Emerging Technology trends that shape the way business and society interact, and how Oracle's unsurpassed database resources are at the core of this change.
In this time of unparalleled technology innovation, we are seeing exponential advances such as Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things, Robotics, Quantum Computing and more.
These advances are moving enterprise itself closer to the center of people's lives; greater access brings greater responsibility for transparency and control. How organizations address these issues is part of what makes them an intelligent enterprise.
We're working and living in a time of unprecedented technology innovation fueled by rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud computing, virtual reality and more.
Oracle technologies are at the core of these changes, and, individually and collectively, create an imperative to reinvent and reimagine the way we do business.
This future also carries broader responsibility. In the Accenture Technology Vision for Oracle 2018 we describe five forces shaping business into the next three years, and Oracle's critical role in each.

Application of machine learning to predict visitors' green behaviours in marine protected areas: evidence from Cyprus
Rezapouraghdam, Hamed; Akshiq, Arash; Ramkissoon, Haywantee; Cyprus University, Lefkosa, Turkey; Jagiellonian University, Gronostajowa 7, Krakow, Poland; The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø, Norway; University of Derby; University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa (Taylor & Francis, 2021-03-10)
Interpretive marine turtle tours in Cyprus yields an alluring ground to unfold the complex nature of pro-environmental behavior among travelers in nature-based destinations. Framing on Collins (2004) interaction ritual concept and the complexity theory, the current study proposes a configurational model and probes the interactional effect of visitors' memorable experiences with environmental passion and their demographics to identify the causal recipes leading to travelers' sustainable behaviors. Data was collected from tourists in the marine protected areas located in Cyprus. Such destinations are highly valuable not only for their function as an economic source for locals but also as a significant habitat for biodiversity preservation. Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), this empirical study revealed that three recipes predict the high score level of visitors' environmentally friendly behavior. Additionally, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) method was applied to train and test the patterns of visitors' pro-environmental behavior in a machine learning environment to come up with a model which can best predict the outcome variable. The unprecedented implications on the use of technology to simulate and encourage pro-environmental behaviors in sensitive protected areas are discussed accordingly.


Although concurrently randomized controls remain the gold standard for evaluating investigational therapies, the use of historical controls represents more efficient and economical options. Because historical controls derived from a single clinical trial have the biases of that trial, it may be preferable to synthesize controls from multiple trials. Researchers utilized a proprietary clinical trial database to develop a synthetic control arm for a particular phase 1/2 single-arm trial in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The synthetic control arm was built using data from 7 relapsed/refractory AML trials completed in the past 5 years. The 7 trials had similar eligibility criteria to the particular phase 1/2 trial under study. Patients who had baseline covariates matching the patients in the trial were selected for the synthetic control arm.
The utility of this approach was addressed by establishing early end points as predictors of long-term clinical outcomes. The primary outcomes were complete remission (CR; with or without hematologic recovery) and overall survival (OS). The synthetic control arm included 340 patients.
The researchers concluded that the example synthetic control arm identified well-defined patients for whom a CR or CR without hematologic recovery is associated with longer OS. Synthetic control arms provide improved context for the interpretation of uncontrolled experimental results, allowing for quantitative estimation of treatment effect size and more reliable decision-making in the early phases of clinical trials. Synthetic control arms may represent an efficient and informative adaptive approach to clinical trial design in some circumstances.

While his links to Berghain / Panorama Bar and Ostgut Ton might be understood as a defining cog in his trajectory as a DJ (he was one of the legendary club's first ever residents), the selections of Marcel Fengler reach far beyond the blueprints of that world.
Always delivering a sense of drama and emotional gravity to his sets and productions, Fengler is the kind of DJ who rifles through records with a view to offering light and shade. In this mix – which clocks in at just over 90 minutes – industrial beats merge into blissful ambient textures with ease. Fengler rounds the mix off with In Loving Memory, the delicate, downtempo finale to Special Request's recent LP for Houndstooth, Belief System.
Having cut his teeth playing on vinyl in the early 1990s, Fengler never loses sight of big-room appetites. But he breaks his winding, deep techno selections up with enough variation and shade to avoid ever sounding one-dimensional. It's techno dealt by someone whose musical interests reach far beyond and whose technique has been refined through years of practise in front of the world's most discerning audiences.
Upcoming for Marcel are new remixes for ScanX, Marco Bailey, Slam and Glaskin on Hotflush.
In March he'll also be releasing his debut label compilation for Index Marcel Fengler (IMF), to celebrate the imprint's 10th release.

Channing Tatum to Star in Movie Adaptation of Joe Haldeman's The Forever War
Fri May 1, 2015 12:15pm 12 comments Favorite This
After a bidding war with Sony, Warner Bros has won the rights to adapt Joe Haldeman's Hugo- and Nebula-winning sci-fi novel The Forever War. Prometheus writer Jon Spaihts will pen the script; previously, 20th Century Fox and Ridley Scott had held the rights for seven years but never moved on the project.
And they've already signed a lead: Channing Tatum is onboard to star as William Mandella, a soldier fighting a fearsome enemy, only to (thanks to time dilation) return to a world he doesn't recognize.
Here's the book summary for some more information:
The Earth's leaders have drawn a line in the interstellar sand—despite the fact that the fierce alien enemy they would oppose is inscrutable, unconquerable, and very far away. A reluctant conscript drafted into an elite Military unit, Private William Mandella has been propelled through space and time to fight in the distant thousand-year conflict; to perform his duties and do whatever it takes to survive the ordeal and return home. But "home" may be even more terrifying than battle, because, thanks to the time dilation caused by space travel, Mandella is aging months while the Earth he left behind is aging centuries…
It will be interesting to see if Spaihts' adaptation will be set in 1977 or present-day. Where Mandella's story begins is important in relation to the future shock he encounters every time he's on leave. The early and later 2000s are extrapolated from the 1970s, during which the book was written. Furthermore, the future that Mandella and his fellow conscripts encounter may well change.
No release date has been announced yet.

GlycerPump® is a patented and more stable and reliable form of Glycerol. HydroMax is known to clump (unstable) and Glycerol Monostearate is not very efficient with its ability to absorb efficiently (known to bloat and sit in your stomach).
GlycerPump® is a high grade, efficient and reliable source of Glycerol. Increases concentration of fluid in blood and intracellular tissues which increases exercise performance and muscle pumps. It also aids in pulling other ingredients such as L-Citrulline intra-muscular quicker (without needing the malic acid - in Citrulline Malate).
Everyone respects and reacts very well to Glycerol products. GlycerPump® is usually dosed at 1,000 mg - 2,000 mg. We are using 3,000 mg, but there is also a fine line in using too much, where once it hits your stomach it pulls a lot of water in the one spot and will cause stomach discomfort and bloat. We have tested different dosages to find a very effective, strong and sweet spot for THREE-D pump + performance in conjunction with our effective absorption enhancer AstraGin® to ensure it absorbs quick. At 3,000 mg GlycerPump®, and in combination with other clinically and highly dosed ingredients such as L-Citrulline 4,000 mg (more below), this is something special. Very effective, and a lot of testing and theory went in to bring this product to life.
The addition of Nitrosigine® 1,500 mg, Vaso6™ 300 mg, GlycerPump® 3,000 mg and L-Citrulline 4,000mg, this is a very strong and effective production of nitric oxide through arginine. This also creates an enzyme called arginase which puts a limit on the amount of nitric oxide you can make. This creates a block (limit) on how big of a pump you can achieve. This is where L-Norvaline works by inhibiting arginase production, allowing you to go past that block (limit) and keep producing nitric oxide throughout your workout. L-Norvaline is dosed at a strong 300 mg, which will make sure you enjoy long lasting, hard and strong pumps.
This is why THREE-D goes above and beyond being just a "pump product". To make sure your workout is driving hard (muscle endurance and muscle strength), a big dose of Betaine Anhydrous 4,000 mg and the new age, well studied ingredient called elevATP® at 150 mg.
elevATP® is a patented ingredient and has a lot of research and study behind it. elevATP® boosts ATP levels to increase strength and power output. The more ATP available, the better an individual is able to perform. With studies revealing supplementing with 150mg of elevATP®, their blood tests revealed that their blood ATP levels had increased by 40% after sixty minutes! elevATP® leads to increases in athletic performance, power output and training volume.
Betaine Anhydrous is found naturally in beets (as the name suggests) that has been shown in various studies to enhance muscle oxygen consumption, boost muscle protein synthesis resulting in impressive strength gains, muscle endurance and increases in power output. Betaine Anhydrous should be a staple in all pre-workout supplements due to a multitude of muscle-building benefits.
With added 2,000 mg of Taurine to help with harder and longer muscle contraction, restore intramuscular calcium levels and draw water into muscle cells (osmolyte - more volume). There is a lot of synergy across ingredients in THREE-D pump + performance.
Not only is this an incredible nitric oxide pump product with performance enhancers, it also has a very synergistic nootropic formula.
With over 1,600 mg of nootropics which will provide a very razor focused state and in-tune workout. AlphaSize® Alpha GPC 200 mg, Huperzine A 100 mcg, Velvet Bean Mucuna Pruriens (L-Dopa 98%) 100 mg, Lion's Mane 300 mg and Tyrosine 1,000 mg. A nootropic blend with a lot of synergy to be optimal and effective. Utilising nootropics for a study session or desk work is very different when combining it into pre-workout supplements. A lot of testing and tuning was done to find the "sweet spot".
A lot of time and testing was done to find an effective, reliable and synergistic level. No cloudy head, no upset stomach, no dropping in and out of the zone, all these are side effects, too much of something and not enough of something else. Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is a medicinal mushroom proven to benefit the brain, nerves and immune system. Lion's Mane helps eliminate brain fog. We have a very healthy dose of 300 mg Lion's Mane Powder.
Primary functions of choline is helping brain cells in the production of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for mental focus and learning. We are providing choline in different sources and stages. AlphaSize® Alpha GPC 200 mg, Velvet Bean Mucuna Pruriens (L-Dopa 98%) 100 mg and Tyrosine 1,000 mg. Increasesing acetylcholine levels in the brain with these ingredients also have a down side - they have a short half life.
To help prolong and effectively keep acetylcholine levels where they should be for longer, Huperzine A 100 mcg is utilised as acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (block the breakdown rate of acetylcholine therefore increase the level and duration of acetylcholine in you brain). With an increase of dopamine from AlphaSize® Alpha GPC, Velvet Bean Mucuna Pruriens (L-Dopa 98%) and Tyrosine, you are going to feel very good, motivated and in the mood to go HAM.
To ensure everything absorbs efficiently AstraGin® 50 mg is utilised and S7™ 50 mg for its pump enhancing capabilities. Both ingredients well studied, patented, very effective and respected. AstraGin® is an extract obtained from a natural plant-based proprietary compound (Panax notoginseng Astragalus membranaceus). AstraGin® is a very effective extract to aid and help your body maximise absorption of amino acids and ingredient.
With the addition of a brand new, well studied patented ingredient called S7™ (releasing in January 2019), we are one of (if not the first) in the world to use this new super pump, nitric oxide enhancer. S7™ is a blend of 7 plant-based ingredients that has been clinically shown to increase nitric oxide (NO) by 230%.

Ideas for IB or A-Level German Literature texts?
Discussion in 'Modern foreign languages' started by zrcadlo, Mar 18, 2011.
I am looking for suggestions of texts to work on with specifically IB German B students (Standard or Higher) , but I am sure A-Level ideas are also relevant.
Any particularly good plays/novellas/films/extracts that went down well with your IB or A-Level students?
I've used Brecht's Keuner-Geschichten in the past, also Duerrenmatt's 'Der Besuch der alten Dame' (although found this fairly hard-going) and of course Kafka's 'Die Verwandlung'. Have been referred to 'Im Westen nichts Neues' and 'die weisse Rose' so am going to think about preparing them - but I would be glad for more ideas.
I've also had the suggestions of films 'Jenseits der Stille' and 'die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum' - not being much of a movie type I've stuck to Goodbye Lenin (hard) and Das Leben der Anderen so far but fancy a change. Any other film tips?
How about "Die Schachnovelle" by Stefan Zweig? It's a great book, and not as strange as die alte Dame. For films... I don't know if it's already available, but teenagers (especially girls) here in Germany love "Goethe", I suppose because the actor is quite hot ;-).
if you've got good kids, how about Faust I - the language itself is a bit high faluting [spelling?] but the basic story is very accessible and there's oodles of resource packs etc available from amazon germany if you want to teach it. I'm thinking about Gottfried Keller's 'Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe' next year. In terms of film, have you thought about using either 'die Welle' or 'die fetten Jahren sind vorbei'? Just a few ideas - hope that's of some use!
If anyone else has some more suggestions especially regarding film, I'd still be interested to hear. Thanks again for the help so far.
For a film I would suggest As Far as my Feet Will Carry me. The story of a German POW in Russia after Stalingrad and his escape from a Gulag and journey home ON FOOT pursued all the way by a rather unpleasant Russian Colonel and helped by a variety of people.
Message me if you would like more details .
Hi. I taught 'Ich fühl mich so fifty-fifty' as a piece of text for A-level a few years ago, and the students were quite engaged in it. The chapters are short so it feels 'manageable' for them, and the theme is teenagers at the time of reunification which they found easy to relate to.
Re film, there's always Run Lola Runn (lola rennt) or I did 'Goodbye Lenin' with my AS group last term...there are quite a lot of resources online for this, including on TES.
Blimey. I did Verwandlung and Katharina Blum for A level 25 years ago. Surprised that they are still going strong... If nothing has changed, then I also did Mutter Courage (hated it)and Heinrich Boll's short stories Wanderer, kommst du nach Spa (loved it).
Hi I did 'Jenseits der Stille' for the first time last year with my year 13 and the students (even my one boy!)really enjoyed it. I have posted some resources on TES and have made a lot more if you are interested.
I have just been on an IB course and we discussed some possibilities. I have decided on: Der Vorleser. Bernhard Schlink- for the second work and then maybe Biedermann und die Brandtstifter - Max Frisch for the first (it is quite short but pretty easy). I have a list of some other ideas at school which I can send later. It depends quite a lot on the group (gender/maturity/ability), so is hard to plan in advance.
Do you know of many good poems? It was suggested that a collection of 10-15 poems could be used as a 'work'.
What did you choose in the end and how did you get on? I just found this thread when doing a search on the IB. I really enjoyed teaching 'Der letzte Grund' by Alfred Andersch. It's quite a challenging book, but there's a beautiful film made about it, which would ease comprehenion. It's about a group of people all wanting to leave Nazi Germany, and it's got all the various types: a Jewish girl, a communist, a work of persecuted art, a Christian etc. Really makes them think and went well with 'Die weisse Rose', which my colleague did.
I did a wonderful book for German A Level in 1975. I am trying to remember who wrote it and what it was called but it was about an old couple who had let the attic of their house to some men who were kidding them on that they were making a bomb. The old couple thought it was a joke and just laughed about it. They had no idea that there really was a bomb being constructed in their attic? until it went off.
Yes it's a suggestion as we all really enjoyed the book. I've gone through years and years thinking it was by Berthold Brecht but I can't find it among his output. I also thought it was called 'Die Drei gerechten Kammacher' but I've recently discovered my memories are muddled up and that was another book by Keller that we read. You can tell from this that my teaching subject isn't German, but I'm still interested, and if anyone can enlighten me and tell me what the book is that we enjoyed so much I'd be grateful!
I have done " Kleider machen Leute" by Gottfried Keller, which is a nice start, but the language can also be a bit hard to comprehend." Der Besuch der alten Dame" by Dürrenmatt (quite hard for non-natives) and "Andorra", by Frisch - which they enjoyed.
I think, on the whole, Plays are better suited for non-natives as the layout makes reading easier!
I tried das Brot der Frühen Jahre once ..total Flop.
Hello fellow German teachers around the world!
I figured that between all of us we've got some knowledge to share! So I just started a group on Facebook where we can access each other and our great ideas easily!
So, if you have questions, information, want to brainstorm, found a new app or just need a new some help, this could be our place!
Frannbug, das klingt nach 'Biedermann und die Brandstifter' von Frisch. Wird immer noch gern fuer A-level benutzt.

The Gunners' clash with Hull City at the KC Stadium will now be played on Sunday, April 20, with a 2.05pm kick-off.
This change has been decided by TV broadcasters and the Premier League, following the Champions League semi-final draw, in which Chelsea were drawn to play away at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, April 22.
Consequently, Chelsea's Premier League match at home against Sunderland, originally scheduled for Sunday, April 20, has been switched to Saturday, April 19, kick-off 5.30pm.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused to our travelling supporters by the late change to this fixture which is completely out of the Club's control.

Tom Holland is known for giving out spoilers and unintentionally leaking information that should be kept secret. Well, recently he shared a video on Instagram. While talking about the next Spider Man movie, the actor leaked the title of the film. Thanks to his video, we all came to know that the new movie was titled as Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Well, looking at the video we can say that this was not something that was done unintentionally. But, we were wondering why and here's the answer.
During an interview with Birth.Movies.Death., Kevin Feige, the head honcho of Marvel Studios, was asked about Tom's video, to which he stated that they knew the title was going to make its way online once cameras started rolling across the pond, so it was him who left it up to the actor to break the news of the title the way he wanted to. Kevin explained, "There are certain logistics of the way these movies are made that meant that title would potentially be leaked in some way because it was going out into the world in various forms. So Mr. Holland took it upon himself to leak it for us."
So, this means it was all planned!

The topic of retaining a great staff is often on the minds of employers. Frequent turnover is not only detrimental to morale, it's tough on the bottom line to recruit and train new employees, and shuffle the workload as everyone gets up to speed. It also just doesn't look good.
There will always be staff members who leave whether it's for a career change, to become a stay-at-home parent, or for an easier commute. But by making an effort to create an environment where employees want to stay, you can reduce turnover and concentrate on getting the job done.

Q: How to Move Project Management site to production server from local Right now I am learning Sharepoint 2010. I have developed simple project management site.
Really I don't have any idea about how to move this site to production server(another server)
from my local machine with all the Library documents.

A: It depends on what you have. As for the content you can use site templates (save and import it). Also you'll need to deploy all customs WSPs and activate all custom features before using you site.
If it is a publishing site you need to copy the WSS_Content database. Still custom features should be activated seperatly
