Letter from Kertesz to Rukeyser, June 27 1977
No full textAn original, two-page letter, dated June 27th, 1977. Presumably from Louise Kertesz to Muriel Rukeyser. Louise is sending Rukeyser “The Chronology of Important Dates” that she would like to verify with her when they meet. Louise is also enclosing many questions in an envelope. In the “Chronology of Important Dates Louise wants to include the date of any of Rukeyser’s awards, significant changes in residence, or Rukeyser’s work with organizations such as the Writers’ and Teachers’ Collaborative. Louise found Denise Levertov’s poem dedicated to Rukeyser. She had been reading Levertov’s Sorrow Dance, and noted the “unknown”, the “waking,” and the “transformation,” and also the attempt to see “Paradise in the dust.” Levertov\u27s poems, she notes, share the spirit and some of the vocabulary of yours. Louise asks Muriel to find out if Levertov would be receptive to inquiries about her poetry. Louise has also read Gary Snyder\u27s Earth House Hold and Turtle Island. Snyder is associated with the Beat poets and uses Buddhist terms, but his vision of the world as one living creature, or “the body of the soul,” and of “singing/the proof/the proof of the power within” is another indication that what the Beats\u27 began singing in the late Fifties was the spirit manifest in your poetry since the Thirties. Louise hopes Muriel will talk with her about this when they meet. Rukeyser’s letter listing the names of people whom she knew in San Francisco had arrived that day. Louise thanks her for her letter, and for writing to Bernard Perry. Louise also says that Rukeyser’s statement for the Copernicus award was wonderful. As for Rukeyser’s question, “Do you want to ask another press?” Louise replies that she has no experience in these matters, and is trying to hear from Indiana after sending them an impatient letter, trying to contact a literary agent and have him handle the manuscript, and finally, waiting for Rukeyser to talk to McGraw-Hill about her manuscript, as Rukeyser said she might do. Louise will follow the path that is available. If Rukeyser could suggest another press or agent, Louise would look into those as well. Since Indiana is taking so long and does not seem to care very much, Louise feels justified in choosing another press if she can, even before Indiana answers. So if an agent takes Louise on, she will let him do the work. Louise ends the letter by saying that she will write again in a few days with more questions for her and their meeting in July. Louise hopes Muriel continues to do well. There is a sentence of handwriting on page two of the letter

The influence of perceived streamer characteristics and product characteristics on consumer behavior inertia in livestreaming contexts
No full textPurpose This study aims to develop a chain-mediated model to examine how streamer and product characteristics influence consumer behavior inertia (CBI) based on an extended cognitive-affective-conative (CAC) perspective.Design/methodology/approach This study used an online survey concerning the livestreaming activities of 250 experienced shoppers to measure the proposed model.Findings Streamer (product) attractiveness mediates the relationship between streamer (product) characteristics and shopping experience memory. Streamer (product) attractiveness and shopping experience memory have a chain mediating effect between the streamer (product) characteristics and CBI.Originality/value Theoretically, the study demonstrates the critical role of attractiveness and shopping experience memory in the formation of consumer inertia and complements current explanations of consumer continuance of buying through livestreaming. From a managerial standpoint, the findings provide guidelines for enterprises carrying out livestreaming business on how to improve inertia to realize a stable profit source
Use of E-cigarettes and other substances and related psychiatric symptoms in undergraduate students
Get PDFThis study evaluated the role that use of alcohol and e-cigarettes had in the development of dependence and demand of each other, along with symptoms of depression and anxiety in undergraduate college students. It tested four hypotheses: (1) that these symptoms are related to more frequent e-cigarette use, (2) they are related to problematic alcohol dependence, (3) alcohol demand will be higher in e-cigarette users, and (4) e-cigarette demand will be higher in problematic drinkers. 173 undergraduate students completed self-report inventories describing their alcohol dependence, e-cigarette dependence, depression, and anxiety, along with completing two hypothetical purchase tasks where they were asked how many alcoholic beverages or e-cigarette puffs they would purchase at various prices during a set frame of time. Major findings were (1) any e-cigarette use (either regular or infrequent use) was related to higher alcohol dependence, (2) problematic alcohol use was related to higher e-cigarette dependence, depression, and anxiety, (3) e-cigarette users spend more money on alcohol, are less sensitive price changes, and will consume more alcohol when it is free when compared to nonusers, and (4) problematic drinkers will purchase e-cigarette puffs at higher prices than nonproblematic drinkers. The discussion explains implications for healthcare and policy, as well as limitations of the present study
Steering through the investment potential of Lear Corporation
Get PDFLear Corporation stands for the intersection of innovation and tradition within the electrically, autonomously, and sustainability-driven world. Based on our financial analysis of Lear using free cash flow projections, dividend valuation, and WACC modeling, we estimate the stock’s value at $140.28. Yet it seems that behind all those financial numbers there are so much larger questions: Can a 100-year-old automotive giant reform itself when consumer needs change rapidly, competition remains relentless, and regulators are under ever-increasing pressure? This analysis examines Lear’s financial strength and how it plans to adapt and grow amid ongoing industry change. In the end, Lear’s story shows what it might take to succeed in the global economy in the future: being flexible, resilient, and willing to think boldly, even when exploring industries that are struggling and going through change
