Communication » Media » Behavioral Norms: Perception through the Media
Social norms entail learned expectations of behavior or categorization that are deemed desirable, or at least appear as unproblematic (Sherif 1936) for a specific social group in a given situation. Mass media have been found to help shape perceptions of behavioral norms. These perceptions are consequential for health behaviors, social and sexual practices, democratic participation, and a range of other outcomes.
Certain social norms that are considered of extreme importance are typically elevated to the category of legal norms and are enforced through institutional apparatuses. Other norms remain subject to less formalized modes of social control, including systems of rewards and punishments based precisely on sociability that include different combinations of isolation and recognition. Social scientists have long focused on certain key institutions of socialization in which those generalized expectations of behavior are learned by a new generation, namely the family, formal education institutes, and peer group interactions. Mass media are increasingly recognized as another important institution of socialization and cultivator of behavioral norms.
Social scientists began to acknowledge media as an important socialization institution with the explosion of mass communication in the twentieth century. In addition to the transmission of information, mass media also convey behavioral expectations, offering role models as well as interpretive schemas to define a situation. Different empirical research traditions within communication and related fields provide evidence of how media influence perceptions of social reality and "cultivate" attitudes and beliefs about the world. The emergence of the indirect effects paradigm has highlighted the importance of media for the perception of social norms, and explored the implications of these perceptions in greater detail. As a consequence, the study of media and perceptions of behavioral norms have become an important area of research in different areas of communication research including politics, health, gender, and identity.
Scholars working within the social norms paradigm are certain of the influence that social norms exert on individual and collective behavior. Yet the processes by which this influence occurs and the role of communication in this process are contested domains (Yanovitzky & Rimal 2006). In some early conceptualizations, social norms were understood as external social artifacts that regulated rewards and punishments within a group. Through a process of internalization these norms were incorporated by the individual (Sherif 1936). Social norms exist in all realms of human activity as a system of customs and/or laws of expected behavior in a given situation, and these customs and laws are expressed individually as values, attitudes, beliefs, and opinions.
Social norms of course are not unproblematic; they can be contradictory, evolve, and are perpetually challenged by emerging phenomena that test the limits of previously accepted expectations. Most individuals navigate the social world accepting certain norms while rejecting others, a "choice" that is socially constructed but also an individual expression. These choices result from, but also determine, our group affiliations. More current approaches view social or group norms as "regularities in attitudes and behaviors that characterize a social group and differentiate it from other social groups" (Hogg & Reid 2006, 7).
Media And Social Norms
Social norms are "formed, reformed and maintained through human communication" (Yanovitzky & Rimal 2006, 2). In smaller groups people can infer the group's norms from explicit communication and implicit behaviors (Hogg & Reid 2006), but in larger groups mass media serve as conveyors of both words and actions.
These characterizations of groups are critical in helping us navigate the social world. Most importantly, they contribute in the construction of our own identity (for a review of this social identity perspective see Hogg & Reid 2006). In part who we are is determined by the groups we belong to and our emotional attachment to these groups. By categorization into groups, as well as out of groups, the individual self is defined in terms of similarities and dissimilarities to patterned behaviors. This process of identity construction entails not only adherence to perceived group norms, since what a "typical" group member would do in a given situation is what "I" should do in that situation provided I feel part of this group, but also the expectations "I" have about the behaviors of members of other groups. Consistency between group norms (potentially internalized as attitudes) and behavior increases with the importance attributed to group membership.
Media would contribute to this process of self-identity formation based on group portrayals with or to which a person sees some correspondence or attachment. Media working as socializing agents would then provide role models of "appropriate" attitudes and behaviors both reinforcing group norms and, more fundamentally, exemplifying the available group affiliations available at a given point in time.
To a certain extent all communication research traditions provide evidence of the importance of mass media in the perception of behavioral norms. From agenda setting and its focus on the relative importance of social problems that is provided by media attention (Althaus & Tewksbury 2002), to cultivations of social reality by the disproportionate and continuous presentation of exemplars (Williams 2006), to more critical accounts in which elites secure consent for a given political order through the production and diffusion of meaning and values through mass media (Carragee & Roefs 2004), the notion that media transmit behavioral norms is implied. Nevertheless, the case for a direct relationship between exposure to mass media and differential perception of social reality is probably exemplified best by the cultivation tradition, according to which sustained exposure to mediated messages, particularly television, cultivates a common outlook on the world in which mediated reality becomes more important than real-world experiences.
Based on this notion of social norms and the power of media in their construction and dissemination, there is a long tradition of interventions in the form of communication campaigns that seek to alter certain social behaviors by providing cognitive or emotional appeals intended to influence what is considered "normal". In addition to the direct effects of these campaigns it has been argued that media, by changing the social acceptability of a behavior and influencing the direction of public policy, influence the social behavior indirectly through institutional changes enacted by policymakers.
Indirect Effects Of Media?
According to third-person and hostile media perspectives in mass communication, media influence can also occur on the basis of the expectation individuals have of the effects of mass media on others. For example, Gunther et al. (2006) have suggested that adolescents' smoking behavior is predicted not only by their exposure to smoking-related media content but more importantly by the perceived (not the actual) prevalence of smoking among their peers, which is a function of their likely exposure to smoking-related content. It appears then that being exposed to smoking-related content makes an adolescent more likely to smoke not only because of the direct persuasive effects of these messages, but also and mostly through a presumed influence process in which we judge the media will influence others, so our perception of what is the norm is altered.
This presumed influence is precisely what the social norm intervention approach has in mind when it relies on correcting misperceptions about social norms in order to affect behaviors. Based on the notion of pluralistic ignorance, i.e., the misperception that a disproportionate number of people engage in certain behaviors or hold certain beliefs, the social norms approach seeks to change certain behaviors that are considered risky by providing information about the "true" norm. For example, regarding alcohol consumption among US college students, there is evidence that despite how prevalent this behavior is, most students will actually overestimate the alcohol consumption of their peers and this overestimation ultimately affects their consumption. Working on this logic, certain communication campaigns that have sought to correct the misperception by providing information about "true" norms have been successful in reducing both pluralistic ignorance on the subject and alcohol consumption (Smith et al. 2006).
Beyond this realm of risky behaviors, media representations of social reality can affect our perceptions of current public opinion and in doing so alter the composition or expression of certain opinions, which ultimately may impact the political process (Mutz 1998). Beliefs about the relative prevalence of an opinion that result from the assumption of impersonal media influence can provide important cues about the social environment and local context. In fact, it has been argued that people are often exposed to perspectives and behavioral norms via mass media that they would not encounter through their interpersonal relationship, especially as they relate to the consumption of information and consumer products (Schor 1998).
More fundamentally, the perception of the climate of opinion and associated judgments about the likelihood of people expressing those opinions have been linked to individual willingness to speak out, with individuals less inclined to talk if they believe others who share their views are silent (Glynn et al. 1997). Inferences based on journalists' presentations of the contending positions on an issue can influence perceived norms and the nature of the response by the perceiver (Gunther & Storey 2003).
With the emergence of computer-mediated communications, the influence of climates of opinion in interpersonal opinion expression persist (Price et al. 2006) and new domains for the cultivation of social norms appear. Williams (2006), for example, provides evidence of how online role playing cultivates fear of crime in the online domain. The development of social norms in online environments and their implications for social perceptions and behaviors are an emerging domain of research interest.

When I lived in San Diego a few years ago one of our neighbors was very involved in The Museum of Photographic Images (http://www.mopa.org/) which is in the Casa de Balboa building at the exquisite Balboa Park, one of San Diego's most captivating of places. I had never been to a museum devoted to photography although I'd always had a bit of interest in photography. I joined the museum and would visit periodically.
And then an exhibition came that completely mesmerized me. The exhibition was photographer Abelardo Morrell's "Camera Obscura." Camera Obscura, and I didn't know a thing about this, was a device that was invented by a Persian around 1000 AD which eventually led to photography.
The camera obscura (Latin veiled chamber) is an optical device used, for example, in drawing or for entertainment. It is one of the inventions leading to photography. The principle can be demonstrated with a box with a hole in one side (the box may be room-sized, or hangar sized). Light from a scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface where it is reproduced, in color, and upside-down. The image's perspective is accurate. The image can be projected onto paper, which when traced can produce a highly accurate representation.
Using mirrors, as in the 18th century overhead version (illustrated in the Discovery and Origins section below), it is possible to project a right-side-up image. Another more portable type is a box with an angled mirror projecting onto tracing paper placed on the glass top, the image upright as viewed from the back.
As a pinhole is made smaller, the image gets sharper, but the projected image becomes dimmer. With too small a pinhole the sharpness again becomes worse due to diffraction. Some practical camera obscurae use a lens rather than a pinhole because it allows a larger aperture, giving a usable brightness while maintaining focus.
At the exhibition they had a walk-in camera obscura where you could observe the phenomenon yourself. The complicated set up and length of time it takes to capture these images, in so many different settings, is as elaborate as can be although the images themselves are beautiful in their simplicity.
I especially enjoyed his Alice In Wonderland series and the Book series!
If you're like me I just can't get enough of the beauty that this guy creates. Please visit Abelardo Morell's website at http://www.abelardomorell.net/photography/recent_01/recent_01.html to see the rest of his work. And please check out one of his exhibitions if it comes to your town.

Szokolszky Rezső (Kisszeben, Sáros vármegye, 1873. február 8. – Veszprém, 1948. október 15.) tanító, magyar királyi vezetőtanfelügyelő.

Az elemi népiskolai oktatás és a magyar művelődésügy áldozatos munkása. Szokolszky István édesapja, Szokolszky Ágnes nagyapja.

Életpályája

Elemi iskoláit Kisszebenben, középiskolai tanulmányait Kassán végezte, 1893-ban szerezte meg a tanítói oklevelet. Szellemi fejlődésére jótékony hatással volt nagybátyja, Szokolszky Bertalan, aki teológiát tanult Kassán, s Szilvásújfalun lett római katolikus plébános és szentszéki tanácsos. Néhány teológiai könyvet írt magyar és szlovák nyelven.

Szokolszky Rezső tanítói oklevelének birtokában a sátoraljaújhelyi római katolikus iskolában kezdett tanítani. Több tanéven át az első osztályos gyermekeket tanította. Közben bekapcsolódott a város közéletébe, szerkesztette a Zempléni Hírlapot. 1903-ban munkájának elismeréseképpen a tanügyi igazgatás apparátusába került tanfelügyelőségi tollnoknak Besztercebányára. 1908-ban kinevezték segéd-tanfelügyelőnek, ekkor nősült meg, hat évvel később, 1915-ben született első fia, István.

1914-ben kinevezték Szokolszky Rezsőt tanfelügyelőnek, megbízták Zólyom vármegye tanfelügyelőségének vezetésével. Kinevezéséhez hozzájárult, hogy a hivatali tevékenység mellett közéleti-irodalmi tevékenységet is kifejtett. Besztercebányán megindította a Magyar Iskola c. lapot, mely a nemzetnevelés kérdéseivel, a felvidéki tanítók szociális helyzetével, pedagógiai módszertani kérdésekkel és hazai, valamint a külföldi irodalom ismertetésével foglalkozott. Egyben tárcaírója volt a besztercebányai Havi Szemle c. folyóiratnak, főleg a falusi élet gondjait és örömeit elevenítette meg, ezen írásai később az Egyszerű emberek c. kötetében lettek egybegyűjtve.

Az I. világháború nagy veszteséget okozott a családnak, Szokolszky Rezső valamennyi nagybátyja meghalt a háborúban. A trianoni trauma következtében Szokolszky Rezsőnek le kellett volna tenni az esküt az új csehszlovák államra, bár kitűnően beszélt szlovákul, ő a magyar népiskola ügye mellett volt elkötelezve, így inkább a menekülést választotta a trianoni határokon belül eső országrészbe. Családjával együtt Miskolcon lett "vagonlakó", alkalmi munkákból tartotta el a családot, minden vagyonuk az elszakított területen maradt. 1919. december 2-án Miskolcon született második fiuk, Oszkár. 1921-ben fordult jobbra a sorsuk, amikor Szokolszky Rezsőnek sikerült Veszprémben letelepedési engedélyt és tanfelügyelői állást kapni.

Minden igyekezetét arra fordította, hogy a háborús sebeket orvosolja. Kiváló szervező, jó szónok, s avatott lapszerkesztő volt. Megindította és szerkesztette a Veszprém Vármegyei Népoktatás című lapot, mely a Veszprém vármegyei Királyi Tanfelügyelőség, a Veszprém Vármegyei Iskolán kívüli Népművelési Bizottság és a Veszprém vármegyei Általános Tanítóegyesület hivatalos közlönyeként szolgált.

Több mint egy évtizedet munkálkodott Veszprémben, amikor közeledett 60. születésnapja, ekkor nyugdíjazták. Fiai a veszprémi Piarista Gimnáziumban érettségiztek, majd ők is a pedagógus pályára készültek. A II. világháború idején nagy veszteség érte a családot, Szokolszky Rezső felesége a harci események során, házuk pincéjébe való menekülés közben lövést kapott. 1945. március 24-én lőtt sebbel halt meg. Szokolszky Rezső pár évvel élte túl felesége halálát, István fiának családjával élt szolgálati lakásban a veszprémi Batsányi János Népi kollégiumban. Közmegbecsülésnek, köztiszteletnek örvendett élete végéig. 1948. október 15-én a Veszprémi Kórházban tért örök nyugalomra.

Both federal and state judges offer judicial clerkships for a one or two year period that begin in August/ September after the student graduates law school. The application process for federal judicial clerkships begins in the summer prior to the student's 2L year. Students interested in state judicial clerkships should prepare to apply in the fall of their 3L year. Recent grads may also apply for clerkships.
There is no one deadline for applications. State clerkship applications are done on a court by court basis. Students should check with the courts in the locations they're interested in to determine if the court offers a clerkship and, if so, what materials are required and when the application deadline is. Most federal judges accept clerkship applications online through the OSCAR judicial clerkship application system. Interested students should go to https://oscar.uscourts.gov/ and follow the instructions to create a username, password, and profile in order to submit applications.
If you are a rising 2L interested in judicial clerkships, you should begin thinking about your writing sample and recommenders now. Most judges require a writing sample and at least one letter of recommendation. For a writing sample, you should use what best represents your writing style and skills. Remember that judicial clerkships heavily involve legal research and writing, so it will be important to show the judge that you can write well and persuasively. For your recommenders, choose someone who can speak to your character and abilities, such as a professor or an employer.
Most judges will also want you to write a cover letter explaining your interest in the court. It is very important to make your cover letter as strong as possible to attract the judge's attention. The Office of Career Services has a number of resources devoted to writing cover letters. If you need more help or would like your cover letter reviewed, please make an appointment with a Career Services counselor.
For more information on applying to judicial clerkships, see our Judicial Clerkship Manual.
For a listing of Texas state courts and information on their clerk programs, visit http://www.txcourts.gov/. You can access the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals at http://www.txcourts.gov/cca/ and the Texas Supreme Court at http://www.txcourts.gov/supreme/.
For a searchable listing of state court clerk openings, you may access the Guide to State Judicial Clerkships, covering judicial clerkships in all states, at http://forms.vermontlaw.edu/career/guides/. Please contact Career Services for the username and password to access the guide.

Hey, how about a big hand for returning hero Eric Campbell, who got the "lucky dog" promo for today's double-dip in Pittsburgh? No? How about congratulating Rene Rivera for seemingly wrestling the No. 1 catching duties from struggling (again) Kevin Plawecki? New third baseman Wilmer Flores? New center field stud Alejando De Aza? Summer's getting warm.

Matt B says:
Mets get Kelly Johnson back from Braves. Hope he gets a more respectable number this time instead of #55 again.
Maybe they could ask MLB to let them save some money and leave KELLY on the back of #55, a la Ichiro and Vida.

Audi Will Leave Formula E, Join Dakar Rally In 2022
It looks like Audi are pivoting their motorsports programme in a new direction, once again. It seems to have become the norm for Audi since the dieselgate scandal unfolded.
After departing from Le Mans in 2016 and DTM last month, they've now confirmed that they'll soon leave Formula E as well. However, they've also confirmed that in 2022, they'll be competing at the Dakar Rally.
They'll be fielding an innovative prototype that will combine an electric drivetrain with a high-voltage battery and a highly efficient energy converter. This will make Audi the first manufacturer to commit to develop an innovative new drivetrain for the Dakar Rally. It will also be a nice return to the rally scene for Audi. Perhaps some development to the quattro system that they can use on their performance SUVs.
Audi have made it very clear that the Dakar Rally will replace their factory involvement in Formula E, however customer teams will still be able to use their Formula E powertrain beyond Audi's involvement in the race.
Audi is facing one of the greatest challenges in motorsport: The brand with the four rings will be competing in the famous Dakar Rally for the first time in 2022 with an innovative prototype. The alternative drive concept combines an electric drivetrain with a high-voltage battery and a highly efficient energy converter for the first time. Cross-country rallying will be the spearhead of the factory motorsport commitment in the future.
After many international successes in a wide range of categories, Audi is thus returning to rallying, which marked the beginning of the brand's successful history in motorsport. From 1981, the Audi quattro revolutionized rallying. Today, permanent four-wheel drive is a standard, not only for rally cars. It also guarantees maximum safety in the sportiest Audi production models, and now also electrically in the e-tron models.
With the use of an alternative drive concept in the Dakar Rally, Audi is now facing up to the most extreme conditions. The vehicle will be driven by a powerful electric drivetrain. The energy required for this comes from a high-voltage battery, which can be charged as required while driving via an energy converter in the form of a highly efficient TFSI engine. The aim is to permanently improve the performance of the electric drivetrain and the battery in the years to come. The experience gained in this process should then be incorporated into the further development of future electrified production models.
Audi is the first car manufacturer that has committed to develop a viable alternative drive concept for the Dakar Rally, making it a pioneer in motorsport once again. In 2012, Audi achieved the first victory of a hybrid racing car in the Le Mans 24 Hours. The Audi R18 e-tron quattro remained unbeaten in the world's most important endurance race three times in a row.
Since 2014, Audi has also been successful in fully-electric racing with Formula E. First in a supporting role for the team of its longstanding partner ABT Sportsline, and from 2017 with full factory involvement. After six years, the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler team is the most successful entry in the history of Formula E with a total of 43 podium finishes, including twelve victories. Special highlights include winning the drivers' title in 2017 and the teams' title in the first season on a factory level in 2018.
The Dakar Rally will replace Audi's factory involvement in Formula E, which will no longer be continued in the form of an Audi factory team after the 2021 season. The use of the newly developed Audi powertrain by customer teams will remain possible beyond next year.
Customer racing remains the second major pillar in AUDI AG's future motorsport program. Audi Sport customer racing will continue to offer its customers a comprehensive model portfolio, as well as intensive service for worldwide racing. In addition, the program includes competing with the Audi R8 LMS in major endurance races like the Nürburgring 24 Hours and in international racing series such as the Intercontinental GT Challenge.
From December 1, 2020, Julius Seebach will assume responsibility for the company's international motorsport activities in addition to his function as Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. Dieter Gass, who has held management positions at Audi Sport for almost ten years and was jointly responsible for the sporting success as Head of Audi Motorsport from 2017 to 2020, will devote himself to new tasks in the future, following the successful conclusion of the factory involvement in the DTM.

Very good log flume that surprised me. The ride wasnt the longest out there, but it was fun. The first drop was good and good me a bit wet, but the second drop was outstanding because it was a steel track and therefore it was faster than the drop on a standard flume. After the drop was a nice bunny hill and I got soaked. Unfortunately there was no landscaping around the ride though.
In my opinion, this flume is better than the Coal Cracker at Hersheypark. How, you ask? Well, it had TWO drops rather than just the single drop that the Coal Cracker has. Also, the first drop didnt seem to have any water within it at all, but instead had more of a steel track. This caused the drop to give me a very unique feeling that you dont get from your typical flume. It got me fairly wet and was really fun! I wouldve given it a 9, but the water smelled kinda funky, so.... LOL!
This was a refreshingly unique and enjoyable log flume for such a small park. You travel around a bit before heading up the first hill, which leads to a neat drop that went down, back up, then down again, splashing into a pond. It looks like there was supposed to be a splashdown pond at the base of the first drop, before going back up, but it was drained. I didnt mind, though, as this gave the flume almost a coaster feel for a few moments. The log then traveled up a larger lift before going down the big drop. Its certainly not huge by flume standards, but I was shocked at how large a splash it created and therefore how soaked I got. An enormous wall of water was created that quite simply poured into the log. Wonderful on a blazing hot day.
The Log Flume is a log flume ride. It is fast, fun, rerideable, it has a large capacity, and a long duration.
A rather average looking log flume... but one of the wettest I have ever been on. I had to go to the car and change my soaked shirt after two rides on this. When my first ride ended, there was no one waiting in line, so, as stated, I was allowed to stay on ( just switched from the front to the back seat... which is even wetter than the front).
This Log Flume needs landscaping and itd be pretty fun. Its got a nice hop drop, kinda like a mini Dudley, and a regular flume drop. It doesnt really get you wet at all, but has some fun drops.
this was actually a pretty good log flume for a small park. its like splash mt without the puppets. plus if its not crowded, you can stay on the ride for as long as you want.


Although it has been evident how fiber optics unlocked numerous possibilities in the business world over the past few years, it still has the potential to do so much more for your company. All you have to do is to seek the help of highly knowledgeable certified fiber optic technicians. With their expertise, you'll be able to keep your fiber optic infrastructure updated according to the new trends in the field of fiber optics.
The fiber optic trend that's going to be discussed thoroughly in this blog is the utilization of bend-insensitive fiber patch cables. Later on, you'll be able to learn more about this innovation and how it can help your business.
During installations, it is a part of every accredited fiber optic technician's standard operating procedure to handle fiber optic cables with care. Optical fiber cables are made up of telecommunications grade glass fibers. While this material allows its users to enjoy higher bandwidth, it also makes it extremely sensitive to the stress that can be caused by excessive bending.
Normally, fiber optic cables have a predetermined minimum bend radius. Once it is exceeded, the optical signal within the cables has the tendency to refract as they pass through. Hence, this can cause you to experience signal attenuation or system failure on your network.
Excessive bending of cables has the capacity to compromise the integrity of your fiber optic network's data transmission. Because of this, it became necessary for fiber optic technicians to be cautious whenever they are required to bend the fiber optic cables that they install.
It is as clear as day how the fiber optic cables' bending limitation inconvenienced countless technicians over the years. That's why when bend insensitive fiber patch cables were introduced to the public, it immediately caught the attention of businessmen around the globe. With its flexibility, technicians gained the freedom to build any fiber optic infrastructure without the fear of macrobend loss. Furthermore, its resilience has also helped numerous business organizations to foster an enhanced network experience in their respective workplaces.
One of the benefits that businesses experience when they make use of bend-insensitive fiber patch cables is the flexibility it gives to fiber optic infrastructures. With this kind of fiber optic cable in place, fiber installations become simpler and easier. Fiber optic technicians will be able to take installations around walls, ceilings, pillars, ducts, and uneven surfaces—and all that can be done without problems.
Bend-insensitive fiber cables are immune to the macrobend loss that excessive cable bending can cause. When you make use of this type of cable, you'll be able to install your fiber optic network in any way you want without the fear of performance degradation. With that said, bend-insensitive fiber patch cables allow you to enjoy the higher bandwidth applications your fiber network has to offer with confidence.
It is well-known among businessmen that bend-insensitive fiber optic cables have the capability to endure excessive bending. But aside from that, it also has a great resilience to clamping, tie-wrapping, and stapling. With this fiber optic cable's capability, technicians are enabled to fix fibers into flat surfaces easily without causing damage to the fibers. That said, bend-insensitive cables unlock numerous possibilities for fiber optic infrastructures.
When you make use of bend-insensitive fiber patch cables, you give your business the opportunity to enjoy small incremental cost. The manufacturing cost of bend-insensitive fibers is cheaper compared to the manufacturing of normal fiber cables. Hence, it is as clear as day that this fiber optic cable has the capability to help businesses to become cost-efficient.
Beyond any doubt, fiber optics has the power to help companies achieve business success as long as it is utilized well by its users. For this reason, it's fundamental for business owners to build their building's fiber optic infrastructure the right way. Enjoy the advantages that bend-insensitive fiber patch cables bring with the help of fiber optic technicians from Nexus-net now. With their help, you'll be able to get high-quality fiber optic cables that are trusted by the Fiber Optic Association of Cebu.


Objective: To analyze the corporate governance structure of the firm and to assess where the power in the firm lies - with incumbent management or with stockholders in the firm?
• Is this a company where there is a separation between management and ownership? If so, how responsive is management to stockholders?
• Is there a potential conflict between stockholders and lenders to the firm? If so, how is it managed?
• How does this firm interact with financial markets? How do markets get information about the firm?
• How does this firm view its social obligations and manage its image in society?
• Who is the CEO of the company? How long has he or she been CEO?
• How much stock and options in the company does the CEO own?
• Who is on the board of directors of the company? How long have they served as directors?
• How many of the directors are "inside" directors?
• How many of the directors have other connections to the firm (as suppliers, clients, customers..)?
• How many of the directors are CEOs of other companies?
• Do any of the directors have large stockholdings or represent those who do?
• Does the firm have any publicly traded debt?
• Are there are bond covenants (that you can uncover) that have been imposed on the firm as part of the borrowing?
• Do any of the bonds issued by the firm come with special protections against stockholder expropriation?
• How many analysts follow the firm?
• How much trading volume is there on this stock?
• What does the firm say about its social responsibilities?
• Does the firm have a particularly good or bad reputation as a corporate citizen?
• If it does, how has it earned this reputation?
• If the firm has been a recent target of social criticism, how has it responded?
For firms that are incorporated in the United States, information on the CEO and the board of directors is primarily in the filings made by the firm with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, the 14-DEF will list out the directors in the firm, their relationship with the firm and details on compensation for both directors and top managers. You can also get information on trading done by insiders from the SEC filings. For firms that are not listed in the United States, this information is much more difficult to obtain. However, the absence of readily accessible information on directors and top management is more revealing about the power that resides with incumbent managers.
Information on a firm's relationships with bondholders usually resides in the firm's bond agreements and loan covenants. While this information may not always be available to the public, the presence of constraints shows up indirectly in the firm's bond ratings and when the firm issues new bonds.
The relationship between firms and financial markets is an uneasy one. The list of analysts following a firm can be obtained from publications such as the Nelson Directory of Securities Research. For larger and more heavily followed firms the archives of financial publications (the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Barron's) can be useful sources of information.

Vol. 70 HTM2 L2 November 1969: This 160 page book contained complete dimensions and diagrams for all 1970 Series Ford Trucks. It is designed to expedite the mounting of bodies and special equipment on Ford Trucks, and is also a useful guide for field modifications.
My 1970 F100 302 V 8 3 speed manual trans pickup has a mechanical fuel pump on the driver's side of the block. It has a single vertical cylinder attached to the bottom side that is maybe 2 inches in diameter and 4 inches long, and I think (thought) that was a spin on fuel filter.

We Shall Overcome
słowa i muzyka: Charles Albert Tindley
We shall overcome some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day
We are not afraid
We are not afraid some day
We shall all be free
We shall all be free some day
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around some day
We are not alone
We are not alone today
The truth will make us free
The truth will make us free some day
Black and white together
Black and white together now
"We Shall Overcome" is a protest song that became a key anthem of the US civil rights movement. The lyrics of the song are derived from the refrain of a gospel song by Charles Albert Tindley. The song was published in 1947 as "We Will Overcome" in the People's Songs Bulletin (a publication of People's Songs, an organization of which Pete Seeger was the director and guiding spirit). It appeared in the bulletin as a contribution of and with an introduction by Zilphia Horton, then music director of the Highlander Folk School of Monteagle, Tennessee, a school that trained union organizers. It was her favorite song and she taught it to Pete Seeger, who included it in his repertoire, as did many other activist singers, such as Frank Hamilton and Joe Glazer, who recorded it in 1950. The song became associated with the Civil Rights movement from 1959, when Guy Carawan stepped in as song leader at Highlander, and the school was the focus of student non-violent activism. It quickly became the movement's unofficial anthem. Seeger and other famous folksingers in the early 1960s, such as Joan Baez, sang the song at rallies, folk festivals, and concerts in the North and helped make it widely known. Since its rise to prominence, the song, and songs based on it, have been used in a variety of protests worldwide.

MainOpEds Why George Bush Will Not Be Re-Elected
Why George Bush Will Not Be Re-Elected
About a year and a half ago, while President George W. Bush was basking in a popularity rating of over ninety percent, I wrote that if he were to take a particular diplomatic initiative he would not be re-elected. He did, and what seemed mad then, is no longer. Today, Mr. Bush is seen by all as definitely defeatable. Allow me to explain.

Harry W. Weber
Harry W. Weber is a C.P.A. (U.S., Israel) and a political commentator whose articles appear in the <i>Hatzofeh</i> newspaper.
More from the author ►
A lot has happened since April 2002 - the time I wrote that article - including the war on Iraq, the continuation of the world-wide war against al-Qaeda, and the declaration of George Bush?s vision for the Middle East. A lynchpin of that vision is his ?roadmap? for a Palestinian State.
It is the latter policy initiative, and Mr. Bush?s efforts to implement it, that will cause his political downfall. Sounds absurd in a country where ?it?s the economy, stupid?, where, in general, foreign policy plays a poor second fiddle to domestic issues, and where Israel?s welfare interests directly only two percent of the American citizenry (American Jewry).
In that article, I came to the conclusion that every elected post-World War II president?s place in U.S. history is highly correlated to one factor - the degree to which he is dedicated to the territorial integrity of the State of Israel. That this is so seems incredibly hard to understand, given the predominance of domestic economic dynamics in U.S. presidential politics. Yet it works.
Geopolitics and theology, for most self-described sophisticates are mutually exclusive. In particular, any attempt to explain political events via religious causes is the antithesis of modern political analysis. However, as a born-again Christian, President Bush certainly believes that God is concerned with, and is intimately involved in, the affairs of the world. Most born-again Christians see the rebirth of Israel in 1948 and its survival and prosperity as necessary conditions for the ?second-coming? of the Messiah. Thus, Bush?s ?vision? of a Palestinian state ? by necessity, a terrorist state carved out of Israel ? constitutes a most dangerous threat to the survival of Israel. It is clear to them, and to every clear-thinking person with knowledge of Islam and of the Palestinian Charter and the goals contained therein, that the Palestinian state, if it ever comes into being, will have as its predominant goal the destruction of Israel. Anyone denying that basic tenet is smoking something illegal.
So, the question is: Why would George Bush betray one of the basic tenets of his Christian fundamentalism? And why did he allow 140 Saudis ? some close relatives of Osama Bin Laden ? to escape the U.S. by plane immediately after the September 11, 2001 disaster? It appears that the Bush family?s financial ties to the Saudi royal clan led him to compromise his loyalty to his religious beliefs and to his nation.
Bush?s concern for the welfare of the Saudi royal family went very far, as far as staging the now apparently fraudulent claim of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, so as to create the urgent need to have the U.S. attack Iraq. That invasion relieved Saudi Arabia of the threat of Iraqi invasion. With Saddam removed from power, the U.S. was able to comply with the Saudi request to remove its troops from Saudi Arabia. This relieved the unstable regime of the internal threat from the radically anti-American Islamic terrorists, due to its very close relations with the U.S.
Soon afterward, Bush worked with the Saudis in agreeing to endorse their plan for the self-emasculation of Israel in return for Saudi recognition of the Jewish State. Bush, in effect, repeated in 2003 Chamberlain?s plan of 1939, in which the latter sacrificed Czechoslovakia in order to appease Hitler. Bush is sacrificing Israel by offering the so-called Palestinians Judea and Samaria (Sudetenland) from which they will launch attacks on the Jewish State (as did the Nazis on Czechoslovakia) in their attempt to destroy it.
All is set for the destruction of the State of Israel, God forbid, except for one thing. God forbade it. No major world leader has taken into account the fact that, since world War II, God?s finger has been guiding world history in a particular way ? first for the sake of the rebirth of the State of Israel, later for its expansion, and then for its economic and military successes. Every U.S. president whose policies were anti-Israel, especially as they relate to attempts to force Israel to relinquish parts of its God-given territory, either was not re-elected or was denigrated to poor standing as a U.S. president in the eyes of history. To prove the point, let?s review the record.
Before George W. Bush, the four worst elected post-World War II presidents in declining order were George Bush, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon. All four were also very bad vis-a-vis Israel, trying to force it to relinquish Judea and Samaria for the so-called ?Palestinian people? ? a ?people? created by the anti-Israel world community only after the Six Day War in 1967. In that war Israel captured the aforementioned territories from Jordan, whose annexation thereof in 1948 was unrecognized by the entire world, except for Pakistan and Britain.
George H. W. Bush?s Secretary of State, James Baker, was one of the most bluntly anti-Jewish and anti-Israel diplomats ever. His relentless pressure on Israel to cede the territories and his interference in Israel?s election is well remembered.
At Camp David, Jimmy Carter brutally pressured Menachem Begin to accept the ignominious term that has haunted the Middle East ever since ? ?the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people?. That term has been used ever since as the basis for the ripping-off of Judea and Samaria, the historic heart of Israel, from the Jewish State.
In 1993, Bill Clinton stood on the White House lawn as the broker in the mad agreement between Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin to give the ever-hungry Arabs a big bite of the Jewish lamb. Ten years and 1,100 Jewish murders later ? the equivalent of thirteen World Trade Center horrors ? it is clear that Clinton?s plan is a colossal failure.
Richard Nixon in his day also pushed Israel ? via the Rogers Plan ? to give the Arabs a twenty-second state, in its heart.
These presidents ? Bush, Carter, Clinton, Nixon ? are ranked 6, 7, 8, and 9 on the U.S. scale of elected post-World War II presidents, and are ranked remarkably close on the pro-Israel factor - 6, 8, 9, 7. (The U.S. ranking was determined by 75 distinguished scholars polled by the University of Illinois in Chicago on October 6, 2000.)
Regarding the five top-ranked U.S. presidents, they were, in declining order, Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan, Johnson and Kennedy. With the exception of Eisenhower, whose high U.S. ranking is out of sync with his Israel ranking, all the rest are remarkably correlated on both scores.
Truman is number one vis-a-vis Israel due to his enthusiastic recognition of the State immediately upon its founding, and his repulsion of British efforts to rip the Negev from Israel and turn it over to Egypt. No other president ever actively worked for the preservation of the territorial integrity of the Jewish State.
Reagan is ranked second on the Jewish factor due to his great appreciation of the lone democracy in the Middle East, and the importance he assigned to its role in curbing Soviet influence around the Mediterranean basin.
Johnson is ranked third due to his insistence that Israel not cede any territory after the Six Day War without substantial diplomatic concession from Egypt and Syria.
Kennedy is fourth due to his being the first U.S. president to send Israel arms. His term ended tragically before the Six Day War, in which Judea ad Samaria were returned to the Jewish State.
Israel?s own political leaders encountered the same fate as their U.S. counterparts. That is, every single Israeli political leader after the 1993 signing of the Oslo accords has had a bad end ? physically or politically ? because all failed to renounce them. Rabin was murdered. His successor Shimon Peres, who had a guaranteed landslide after the murder, miraculously pulled defeat from the jaws of victory, and has not won a public election ever since. Binyamin Netanyahu lasted barely three years and lost to Ehud Barak after his agreement to give the Arabs control of Hebron, and his succumbing to Clinton?s relentless pressure to give them thirteen percent of Judea and Samaria. Barak lasted a year and a half after he incredulously agreed, again under Clinton?s arm-twisting, to cede control of the Western Wall -- Israel?s holiest site - and ninety-seven percent of Judea and Samaria.
Now it?s Sharon?s turn. After agreeing to create a Palestinian State, his administration is beset by corruption charges that will not go away. Within six months, he is expected to leave office.
As for Bush, given his dedication and hyper-involvement in efforts to create a Palestinian state inside Israel by the year 2005, he put himself on the road to becoming the worst U.S. president ever vis-a-vis Israel. As such, he is doomed to lose the election in 2004, and be ranked as a very bad president indeed.
In conclusion, anyone with an open mind can?t help but see the finger of God in all of this. It is truly incredible, yet so real. The lesson is clear. Any political leader who deviates from the will of God regarding Israel?s divine destiny is doomed. And what is Israel?s divine destiny? First, to be the home of the world?s Jewish people, a home where they can live and grow spiritually and materially. Israel?s borders are defined in the Bible, the real roadmap of the world. As such, all Arabs residing in Israel have to be transferred from it to Jordan. Jordan is the Arab state for the so-called ?Palestinians?. That is God?s vision for the Middle East.
Arab transfer is the only way to peace. Bush?s vision for the Middle East can only be accommodated if he declares that Jordan is the Palestinian State. Bush must make God?s vision his vision for the Middle East. This is his only hope for re-election and for historic greatness. He must alter his vision quickly - for time is running out.

SILVERSTONE, U.K. – My racing career started when I was nearly 5 years old. Honestly, it doesn't seem like that long ago! My father, who had no knowledge of motorsports, decided to have a family outing at a local track west of where we lived in Florida. Moroso Motorsports Park, a multi-use facility with a drag strip, a road course and a kart track, was where my first taste of racing took place. Our adventure of watching the drag races quickly turned into us racing each other in rental karts. Fortunately for me, my dad had a very close friend by the name of Court Vernon. Court invited me and my two older brothers out to watch his son race. Shortly after, for Christmas, my father bought a kart for my brothers and me. It was a Fittipaldi chassis with an 80cc Comer engine.
With fellow Scholarship winner A.J. Allmendinger.
I experienced lots of ups and downs as I moved through the ranks of karting. The first memorable highlight was winning the Walldinger Racing/Shell Pennzoil Scholarship. I owe a lot to A.J. Allmendinger – who, coincidentally, also is a Team USA Scholarship winner – because although the scholarship was short-lived it opened many doors. The 2013 season proved to be the light switch in my racing career. I started off the year fully sponsored and well equipped to win races and championships with the Ocala Gran Prix team. Almost four years later, with many national and international championships under our belts, it was time for me to move towards my ultimate goal in cars. I will remain forever grateful for my time with OGP and still race on a high level in karting with Birel-ART, where we are in contention to win the SKUSA Pro Tour, but now my focus has switched.
Also in 2013 I competed in my first car race with Skip Barber in their Mazda MX-5 school car. I raced a total of three weekends, and every race but one I finished on the podium. I continued to focus on my karting in 2014, then the following year began to get more serious about open-wheel racing. I began the season in the F1600 Championship Series, and actually won my first-ever race at Road Atlanta, but funds were short so I competed only occasionally. Even so, F1600 provided an essential knowledge of race cars and opened a few doors for me. Consequently, this year has been by far the best. Coming off two championship wins at the Florida Winter Tour in karting, I jumped into the inaugural F4 United States Championship Powered by Honda with Primus Racing and came away with a win and eight more podium finishes. A couple more potential wins, and possibly the championship, slipped away through a few mechanical failures, but it was still a great year. Apart from anything else, it opened the door for me to be invited to compete for one of this year's Team USA Scholarships.
After an eventful 12 years, I'm currently in the U.K. at Silverstone, one of the most iconic race tracks in the world, preparing to take part in my first test for Cliff Dempsey Racing and Team USA. It's been an amazing journey. I tend to think my parents were crazy for putting me in a kart at the age of 5, but my gratitude goes to them and everyone else who has believed in me and helped me to make it this far. I know this next month won't be easy but I'm more motivated and determined than I have ever been. My heartfelt thanks go out to Jeremy Shaw, all the judges who voted me through, and everyone who has followed and helped me along my career path.
I will keep you all updated on results, plus anything else I think will entertain you during my stay in England!

Using Evelyn
============

We'll assume that you've got the sample client and server running. Now let's try to do something with it.

Accessing the REST Server
-------------------------

The Evelyn REST API endpoints are specified using `OpenAPI <https://www.openapis.org/>`_ and documented using using `Swagger UI <https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/>`_. By default, the sample server host is configured to allow us to access port 2316, and so we can inspect the API in a browser by navigating to ``http://localhost:2316/swagger/``.

.. image:: ../images/swagger-1.png

If you don't see this, it might be because something else is already using port 2316. If this is the case, you'll need to modify the port forwarding configuration for evelyn-server-host in ``./src/docker-compose.yml`` to specify a different port.

When the server runs for the first time, it will set up a default account for us and add create some sample data to get us started. Lets check it is all set up correctly:

- In Swagger UI, expand the `GET /api/projects` section
- Click the `Try it out` button
- Click the `Execute` button

In Evelyn, a project is a logical collection of feature toggles and environments. The ``/api/projects`` endpoint returns us a list of all the projects on our account. When we click the `Execute` button, Swagger will make a call to this endpoint. The response should look something like this:

.. code-block:: json

   {
      "accountId": "e70fd009-22c4-44e0-ab13-2b6edaf0bbdb",
      "projects": [
         {
            "id": "8f73d020-96c4-407e-8602-74fd4e2ed08b",
            "name": "My First Project"
         }
      ],
      "created": "2018-05-27T15:58:13.6253741+00:00",
      "createdBy": "SystemUser",
      "lastModified": "2018-05-27T15:58:30.7611496+00:00",
      "lastModifiedBy": "SystemUser",
      "version": 1
   }

We can see here that our account ID is ``e70fd009-22c4-44e0-ab13-2b6edaf0bbdb``, and we have a project called ``My First Project`` which has the ID ``8f73d020-96c4-407e-8602-74fd4e2ed08b``.

Now we know the ID of the project, lets now get more details about it:

- Expand the `GET /api/projects/{id}` section
- Click the `Try it out` button
- In the `id` input box, enter the id of the project, ``8f73d020-96c4-407e-8602-74fd4e2ed08b``
- Click the `Execute` button

The response should look something like this:

.. code-block:: json

   {
      "id": "8f73d020-96c4-407e-8602-74fd4e2ed08b",
      "name": "My First Project",
      "environments": [
         {
            "key": "my-first-environment"
         }
      ],
      "toggles": [
         {
            "key": "my-first-toggle",
            "name": "My First Toggle"
         }
      ],
      "created": "2018-05-27T15:58:30.7715006+00:00",
      "createdBy": "SystemUser",
      "lastModified": "2018-05-27T15:58:30.8970043+00:00",
      "lastModifiedBy": "SystemUser",
      "version": 2
   }

We can see that the project has a single environment, ``my-first-environment`` and has one toggle, ``my-first-toggle``.

So far so good. Now lets turn our attention to the client.

Using the Client
----------------

An application that uses the Evelyn client must be configured to connect to the server to retrieve the current toggle states for a particular enviroment and project.

The sample client host is already configured to get the toggle state for the sample project and environment that was created when we started the server; you can find this configuration in ``.\src\Evelyn.Client.Host\Startup.cs``. Note that in this class we also start a background service, which is used to poll the server for the current state.

Now, take a look in the ``ClassWithToggle`` class. You'll see we're injecting an ``IEvelynClient`` in the constructor. This interface lets us access the toggle states for our chosen environment. We use the  ``GetToggleState`` method on this interface to get the current state of our ``my-first-toggle`` toggle, and then use this to decide which block of code to execute.

Look at the logging output from sample - if you're using Visual Studio this will be in in the Output window, or if you're running on the command line it'll be directly in your shell. You should see something like this...

.. code-block:: text

   This code is only called when the toggle is OFF.

It's clear from this that our execution path is currently that specified for when the toggle is turned off.

Changing toggle state
---------------------

Now, lets change the state of our toggle. We can do this either through the Swagger UI or via the Evelyn Management UI (if you've set it up):

Changing toggle state in Swagger UI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Expand the `POST /api/projects/{projectId}/environments/{environmentKey}/toggles/{toggleKey}/change-state` section
- Click the `Try it out` button
- In the `projectId` input box, enter the id of the project, ``8f73d020-96c4-407e-8602-74fd4e2ed08b``
- In the `environmentKey` input box, enter the key of our environment, ``my-first-environment``
- In the ``toggleKey`` input box, enter the key of our toggle, ``my-first-toggle``
- In the `message Body` input box, enter this:
.. code-block:: json

   {
     "expectedToggleStateVersion": 0,
     "state": "True"
   }
- Click the `Execute` button

Changing toggle state in Evelyn Management UI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- From the dashboard, select `My First Project`
- Select `my-first-environment` from the list of environments
- Find `my-first-toggle` in the list of toggles, and click its icon to change the state from ``OFF`` to ``ON``

Now look at the logs again....

.. code-block:: text

   This code is only called when the toggle is OFF.
   Toggle state has changed.
   This code is only called when the toggle is ON.

Now, we're going through the other code block! So, in changing the toggle state, we've changed the behaviour of our application.

The days of the Veterans Administration's chronic shortfalls and criminal treatment of the nation's warriors may be coming to a close, thanks to a recent piece of legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald J. Trump. But until the law kicks in and real reforms begin to take shape, many VA hospitals will continue to underserve the very people they are in existence to serve in the first place.
The site noted that a paperwork error on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs was reportedly to blame.
CBS Philly reported further that the vet, Alexander Horanzy, 94, went to the VA to get the hearing aids, and they were sitting in front of him on a table after he was told he had already been approved to receive them and had them tested and fitted.
Reports noted that Horanzy nearly perished seven decades ago after contracting malaria while fighting in the mosquito-filled jungles on New Guinea. The Greatest Generation Fondation noted further that prior to his combat there, he had seen the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor as a young Army private.
Nevertheless, the VA lost his paperwork and because of the VA's fault, Horanzy wasn't able to get the hearing aids Fiore said he desperately needed.
"He can't talk on the phone much and [hear] the TV," she said. "It's very hard for him," she added, noting without the aids he has difficulty getting through his day.
The Greatest Generation Foundation has set up a GoFundMe page to help Horanzy pay for his hearing aids, which is here. At the time of this writing, $7,868 had been donated; Horanzy only needed $6,500 for the hearing aids.
In keeping campaign pledges to "fix" the "broken" VA system, President Donald J. Trump signed legislation on Monday sent to him by the GOP-controlled Congress that gives vets the choice of seeking care for military-related conditions in the private sector.
But now, with expanded choice the law of the land, it "may just be the relief valve the system needs in order to function better: By shifting a portion of its patient load to the private sector, the VA will be left with fewer vets to treat and thus, the available resources can be stretched further than ever before," The National Sentinel noted.

Chillingham Castle er et middelalderslot i Chillingham i den nordlige del af Northumberland. Det var sæde for Grey- og Bennet-familien fra 1400-tallet frem til 1980'erne, hvor det blev sir Humphry Wakefields hjem. Han er Bt. og er gift med et medlem af den oprindelige Grey-familie. Til bygningen hører en stor park med 90 stykker af den sjældne race Chillingham Cattle. Slottet er fredet af 1. grad.

Slottet markedsføres som det ældst beboede og mest hjemsøgte i Storbritannien.
