No full textOne of the most delightful experiences I have had in a long time. There are two modes for experiencing this program. One runs through the twelve pages one by one, with plenty of animation and music for each event in the story. The other is especially entertaining. The viewer can play with each page, clicking on various objects in the individual picture. Rows of carrots turn into dancers, and tomatoes on the vine turn into a vocal group. Other carrots take off like space missiles. Click on the water and you are liable to see a fish jump up and fly around a bit before bringing the program and picture back to the starting point. Gives new meaning for me to the word interactive. I love it! The boxed CD-ROM comes with a booklet by the same title.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: English and SpanishProduct Managers: Todd Power and Liza Weiman. English and Spanish.

Effects of thermal processing on antioxidant, phenolic and anthocyanin levels in blackcurrant juice
No full textHealth and Wellness continues to be a major driver for consumers within the current marketplace. Given this climate, superfruits such as blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) are gaining interest among beverage manufacturers due to their high content of antioxidants and anthocyanins. Blackcurrant juice, while very popular in Europe, is just beginning to gain acceptance in the domestic marketplace.
Various thermal processes are required throughout the production of a shelf stable juice product at both the raw material and finished beverage stages. The goal of this research is to evaluate the effect of these thermal processes on the retention of heat sensitive compounds such as phenolics, anthocyanins and overall antioxidants in the final consumer beverage. To this end, bulk samples of 13 brix flash pasteurized and 65 brix concentrated blackcurrant juice were obtained and further processed at beverage scale. The beverage scale processing entailed the three key thermal processes utilized by retail manufacturers: aseptic, hotfill and tunnel pasteurization. The raw material juices and fully processed samples were then analyzed for anthocyanin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity to understand retention of these nutrients in the post process beverage.
The findings of this study show marked losses at the raw material level of all measured components with a reduction in Phenolic Content of approximately 35%, a reduction of Antioxidant Capacity by 48% and, most significantly, a reduction of Anthocyanin Content of approximately 80% in the concentrated juice as compared to the flash pasteurized Not From Concentrate (NFC) juice. The anthocyanin content was seen to undergo additional degradation (40-50%) by further processing the juice at beverage level, while little or no further change in either antioxidant capacity or phenolic content was seen. There was little to no difference in the impact of aseptic, hotfill or tunnel pasteurization as compared to each other.
Understanding the relationship between process and retention will allow industry to leverage the proper processes required to deliver the desired health benefits to consumers.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 53-56)by Bridget A. Skahil

About the Lecture
Oh, how I want to be in that number, when the saints go marching in. Christians are a people on the move, and we do not travel alone. Rather, we journey together toward God as part of “the communion of saints.” Join us as we consider the theological and ethical implications of belonging to the communion of saints
The edge of meaning: Polish translations of the Bridget Jones film series
No full textNiniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest analizie translatorskiej polskich tłumaczeń ekranizacji Dziennika Bridget Jones i Bridget Jones 3. Głównym zadaniem tekstu tłumaczenia jest przybliżenie znaczenia tekstu wyjściowego. Jednak nigdy dwie osoby nie wykonają tłumaczenia identycznie. Zawsze jest ono indywidualnym, niepowtarzalnym tekstem autora – tłumacza filmowego, odzwierciedleniem jego idiolektu. Forma tekstu docelowego uzależniona jest od poziomu umiejętności translatorskich, które determinują poszczególne rozwiązania tłumaczeniowe fragmentów problematycznych (nieoczywistych) tekstu wyjściowego. Sposób radzenia sobie z tymi trudnościami określa format tłumacza. W artykule omówiono dwa tłumaczenia dwóch różnych tłumaczek i podjęta próba oceny ich warsztatu.This paper analyses Polish translations of two romantic comedy films Bridget Jones’ Diary and Bridget Jones’ Baby. The main goal of a translated text is to convey the meaning of an original. However, it is impossible for any two persons to deliver identical translations. It is always an individual, unique text of the particular author – a film translator and it reflects his or her idiolect. The form of the translated text depends on translator’s skills as they determine particular solutions for problematic fragments (not selfevident) of the original. The choices of translators define their level of mastery. The paper analyses two translations of two different persons and attempts to assess their craft

Chapters explore areas including: • Screenwriting histories and myths of the profession • Screenwriting as creative labor • Screenwriters’ working lives • Screenwriting work and the how-to genre • Screenwriting work and inequalities Drawing on historical and critical perspectives of mainstream screenwriting in the USA and UK, as well as valuable interviews with working screenwriters, this book presents a highly original and multi-faceted study of screenwriting as creative labor and professional practice.</p
Managing food safety and hygiene: governance and regulation as risk management
No full textFood safety and hygiene is of critical importance to us all. In this wide ranging book, Bridget Hutter explores how we are all dependent on others to ensure that the food we consume from food in the retailing and hospitality sectors is safe. This has prompted a governance system embracing state regulation and groups beyond the state such as consumers, insurance, media and businesses themselves. The book argues that state regulation is ‘necessary but not sufficient’ as an influence on business risk management practices. Using research data from the UK, the author examines the relative importance of these other groups, in relation to each other and in relation to state regulation
Film adaptation from a gender perspective: Bridget Jones’s Diary
No full textLa obra de Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones´s Diary, es una de las 10 novelas que mejor reflejan la sociedad de finales del siglo XX, según un estudio llevado a cabo por el periódico The Guardian. El gran éxito de esta obra, tanto de la novela como de la película, se basa en el argumento y en técnicas narrativas que empleó Jane Austen. Dentro del género literario Chick Lit, analizaremos cómo los guionistas crearon una adaptación mediante intertextualidades que reflejan el discurso postfeminista y cuáles fueron las estrategias cinematográficas que utilizaron para la adaptación de la novela.According to a study presented by The Guardian, Bridget Jones´s Diary is one of the 10 novels which best reflects the society at the end of the 20th century. The great success of this novel, as well as the film, is due to the plot and to Jane Austen´s narrative techniques. We will discuss how the scriptwriters created an adaptation through general intertextualities that reveal its connection with the postfeminist discourse, which were the cinematographic strategies that they used for the adaptation of the novel. On the other hand, we will discuss about its author, Helen Fielding, who is one of the writers that best illustrates the situation of occidental women at the end of the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century. She describes a woman who dares to talk about her daily problems openly, pulling apart the belief that personal problems have to be kept in the private sphere. She uses real language, even creating new words to give women their own voice; in fact, she is a pioneer in the literary genre called Chick Lit, about which we will discuss its varieties and components. The post-feminist movement will serve as a background to contextualize the novel and the movie. The protagonist, Bridget Jones, is overwhelmed by the expectations of the postfeminist ideals. Bridget Jones´s Diary depicts the postfeminist settings through different intertexts: Jane Austen´s novel and the TV adaptation, both taken to the big screen by the scriptwriters of this movie (Helen Fielding, Andrew Davis and Richard Curtis)
Synthetic conception: artificial insemination and the transformation of reproduction and family in nineteenth and twentieth century America
No full textThe dissertation examines the development of assisted reproduction in American medicine and culture between the first reported use of artificial insemination in the late eighteenth century and the birth of the modern cryobanking industry at the end of the twentieth century. It focuses on artificial insemination, the first “assisted reproductive” technology, in a wide range of historical contexts—eighteenth century gynecological practices, nineteenth century clinics, early twentieth century eugenics movements, post World War II veterans hospitals, and the first fertility clinics to offer cryopreservation services in the late twentieth century. Tracing the evolution of technology in such varied medical and social arenas reveals that its research and practice expanded in moments of moral, sexual, and family panic – in the wake of wars, demographic upheaval, and national uncertainty. It also establishes that concerns about marriage, hereditary health, patient privacy, and the connection between social and biological relatedness were concerns for actors across eras as they intervened in reproductive sex as was the perception that medical science offered new technological solutions to infertility. Finally, in contrast to contemporary scholarly arguments that privilege in vitro fertilization and the birth control pill the project shows that by transferring intimate acts of conception into physician’s offices artificial insemination made critical contributions to the medicalization and consumerization of reproduction. Using the history of artificial insemination as a lens this project speaks to scholarship on reproduction by offering an analysis of how gender, race, and sexuality influenced the growth of a medical market in fertility and the ability to regulate it. Following the gendered politics of science and reproduction as they manifest in this unique, albeit low-tech, technology this dissertation contributes to the history of reproductive science by tracing the developing contours of the scientific study of sperm. Doing so not only enables the insertion of men’s reproductive bodies into the history of reproduction and its technologies but also provides a window into the collaborations between industrial chemistry, experimental biology, and reproductive medicine as they sought to safely freeze, store, and thaw human and animal sperm. Finally, the dissertation provides critical insights into the changing understandings and technological transformations of modern families. Analyzing controversies over AI in popular, bio-medical, and political spheres demonstrates that the control of conception was an important locus by which authorities and individuals understood what made a family, while also revealing the remarkable fluidity of the concept of “family” throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Ph.
