LUCKY LUKE AS THE AMERICAN COWBOY HERO AS REFLECTED IN JAMES HUTH’S LUCKY LUKE MOVIE

Seseorang dapat disebut sebagai pahlawan apabila orang tersebut telah berjasa untuk masyarakat, bangsa, dan negaranya. Pahlawan mendapatkan tempat yang terhormat di mata masyarakat, sebab masyarakat dapat menilai secara objektif kontribusi apa saja yang diberikan pahlawan kepada masyarakat, bangsa dan negara. Pengorbanan dan perjuangan seorang pahlawan dapat memberikan kontribusi berupa nilai-nilai moral kepada masyarakat. Dalam skripsi ini, penulis tertarik untuk menganalisa seorang tokoh cowboy di Amerika yang dianggap sebagai pahlawan masyarakat Amerika. Untuk menganalisa hal ini, penulis menggunakan pendekatan eksponensial dan antropologi. Dalam film Lucky Luke menggambarkan dengan jelas seorang cowboy yang memiliki peranan penting sebagai seorang sherif di kotanya. Perjuangan dan usahanya dalam menjalankan tugasnya menjadi seorang sherif membawanya menjadi sosok pahlawan yang dikagumi. Karakter seorang pahlawan memberikan nilai-nilai moral yang baik kepada masyarakat. Sehingga, pesan-pesan atau nilai moral dari seorang tokoh pahlawan biasanya dapat disampaikan melalui cerita rakyat, dongeng, maupun legenda. Karena cerita rakyat, dongeng maupun legenda merupakan cara yang mudah dalam menyampaikan nilai-nilai moral dan budaya dari kehidupan seorang tokoh pahlawan

Seasonality Effects on Consumers Preferences Over Quality Attributes of Different Beef Products

Using discrete choice modelling, the study investigates 946 American consumers willingness-to-pay and preferences for diverse beef products. A novel experiment was used to elicit the number of beef products that each consumer would purchase. The range of products explored in this study included ground, diced, roast, and six cuts of steaks (sirloin, tenderloin, flank, flap, New York and cowboy or rib-eye). The outcome of the study suggests that US consumers vary in their preferences for beef products by season. The presence of a USDA certification logo is by far the most important factor affecting consumers willingness to pay for all beef cuts, which is also heavily dependent on season. In relation to packaging, US consumers have mixed preference for different beef products by season. The results from a scaled adjusted ordered logit model showed that after price, safety-related attributes such as certification logos, types of packaging, and antibiotic free and organic products are a stronger influence on American consumers choice. Furthermore, US consumers on average purchase diced and roast products more often in winter slow cooking season, than in summer, whereas New York strip and flank steak are more popular in the summer grilling season. This study provides valuable insights for businesses as well as policymakers to make inform decisions while considering how consumers relatively value among different labelling and product attributes by season and better address any ethical, safety and aesthetic concerns that consumers might have

Stabilization of relative equilibria

This paper discusses the problem of obtaining feedback laws to asymptotically stabilize relative equilibria of mechanical systems with symmetry. We show how to stabilize an internally unstable relative equilibrium using internal actuators. The methodology is that of potential shaping, but the system is allowed to be underactuated, i.e., have fewer actuators than the dimension of the shape space. The theory is illustrated with the problem of stabilization of the cowboy relative equilibrium of the double spherical pendulum

Arguments for a "U.S. Kamioka": SNOLab and its Implications for North American Underground Science Planning

We argue for a cost-effective, long-term North American underground science strategy based on partnership with Canada and initial construction of a modest U.S. Stage I laboratory designed to complement SNOLab. We show, by reviewing the requirements of detectors now in the R&D phase, that SNOLab and a properly designed U.S. Stage I facility would be capable of meeting the needs of North America's next wave of underground experiments. We discuss one opportunity for creating a Stage I laboratory, the Pioneer tunnel in Washington State, a site that could be developed to provide dedicated, clean, horizontal access. This unused tunnel, part of the deepest (1040 m) tunnel system in the U.S., would allow the U.S. to establish, at low risk and low cost, a laboratory at a depth (2.12 km.w.e., or kilometers of water equivalent) quite similar to that of the Japanese laboratory Kamioka (2.04 km.w.e.). We describe studies of cosmic ray attenuation important to properly locating such a laboratory, and the tunnel improvements that would be required to produce an optimal Stage I facility. We also discuss possibilities for far-future Stage II (3.62 km.w.e.) and Stage III (5.00 km.w.e.) developments at the Pioneer tunnel, should future North American needs for deep space exceed that available at SNOLab.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures; revised version includes discusion about neutrino-factory magic baseline

Carry On, Cowboy: roast beef Westerns

Most critical discussions of non-American Westerns have centred on films by Italian and German filmmakers, such as Sergio Leone and Harald Reinl. There has, however, been little attention paid to the Westerns produced by British companies and British-based filmmakers. They are surprisingly numerous, with a particular concentration in the silent period (though most of the films are now lost) and in the heyday of the European-shot Western in the 1960s and 1970s. This article will focus on the latter, and will attempt to explore the commercial and industrial factors which led British and British-based producers such as Michael Winner, Euan Lloyd, Irving Allen and Charles H. Schneer to undertake a genre which is not typically associated with UK production houses. The particular characteristics of the British-made Western will be identified with the analysis of a small selection of the more than thirty examples from the period, and an attempt will be made to account for their relative neglect by critics and historians. The films themselves are, like the Italian and German varieties, most often co-productions with one or more other countries and are rarely recognisably “British”, hence do not lend themselves to the discussion of national identity which characterises much critical discourse on British and European cinema. One other reason for their neglect, it will be argued, is their generally poor quality and failure to produce a distinct group style or identity or an “auteur” director specialising in the form. In this respect the article will broach questions of artistic value and critical judgment that are themselves often neglected in recent explorations of generic and national cinemas, and will discuss to what extent they should be admitted into historical and industrial accounts of film production and reception
