Creating Television / Video In-House Productions: A Brief Guide to Managing a Production for the Novice

This manual was created with the intentions to inform and educate individuals about creating their own television/video production. Throughout the period of time allotted me for this thesis project, I have gained knowledge that will be beneficial in acquiring a position at a television station or starting my own company. Vast experience is obtained through working or interning in the media field. While working for the Communication Services, I learned shortcuts, tips and ways to efficiently execute T.V./Video productions. This experience accompanied with my collegiate instruction on the television/video world has heightened my interest in this field. When producing or directing a production, you have the power vested in you to create something that once was a thought. Through good quality productions and a competent stuff, the sky is the limit for a career in production. Understanding all aspects of T.V./Video Production such as lighting, audio, and directing will make you a better producer or director. Being multifaceted in the television/video production field is a plus. With that being said, this manual exposed numerous positions that are important to a production. Needless to say the more technical duties you know the better chance of getting a job or if you are independent the less people you will have to pay

Situated Identities of Young, African American Fathers in Low-Income Urban Settings

Young, low-income, African American fathers have been at the center of research, practice, and policy on families over the past decade. This article uses a voicing analytic technique to examine identities among young, low-income, African American fathers living in an urban setting; the intersections of these identities; and the fathers\u27 perceptions of the influences of familial, peer, and legal systems as barriers and resources in their development as fathers and the sustainability of their fathering roles. The primary questions addressed urban fathers\u27 representations of their transition to fatherhood, intergenerational relationships, transformative events, and visions of a possible self. Results from a survey, focus groups, and interviews suggest that the fathers seek to reinvent themselves and reconstruct their identities by separating from street life, redefine home as a place of stability, and challenge the practices of social and legal systems that appear to work against their responsible fathering

Adaptations to iron deficiency: cardiac functional responsiveness to norepinephrine, arterial remodeling, and the effect of beta-blockade on cardiac hypertrophy.

BackgroundIron deficiency (ID) results in ventricular hypertrophy, believed to involve sympathetic stimulation. We hypothesized that with ID 1) intravenous norepinephrine would alter heart rate (HR) and contractility, 2) abdominal aorta would be larger and more distensible, and 3) the beta-blocker propanolol would reduce hypertrophy.Methods1) 30 CD rats were fed an ID or replete diet for 1 week or 1 month. Norepinephrine was infused via jugular vein; pressure was monitored at carotid artery. Saline infusions were used as a control. The pressure trace was analyzed for HR, contractility, systolic and diastolic pressures. 2) Abdominal aorta catheters inflated the aorta, while digital microscopic images were recorded at stepwise pressures to measure arterial diameter and distensibility. 3) An additional 10 rats (5 ID, 5 control) were given a daily injection of propanolol or saline. After 1 month, the hearts were excised and weighed.ResultsEnhanced contractility, but not HR, was associated with ID hypertrophic hearts. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were consistent with an increase in arterial diameter associated with ID. Aortic diameter at 100 mmHg and distensibility were increased with ID. Propanolol was associated with an increase in heart to body mass ratio.ConclusionsID cardiac hypertrophy results in an increased inotropic, but not chronotropic response to the sympathetic neurotransmitter, norepinephrine. Increased aortic diameter is consistent with a flow-dependent vascular remodeling; increased distensibility may reflect decreased vascular collagen content. The failure of propanolol to prevent hypertrophy suggests that ID hypertrophy is not mediated via beta-adrenergic neurotransmission
