Download or read book Kissing Bill O'Reilly, Roasting Miss Piggy written by Ken Tucker and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Ken Tucker, television is where the mass culture action really is. It's where the weasel goes pop. But for such a fluid, of-the-moment, democratic yet "cool" medium, a strangling accretion of false pieties, half-remembered history, and misplaced nostalgia has grown up around it--the prose equivalent of choking vines. In this book, Ken Tucker shares his zealous opinions about the best and worst of television, past and present Everyone has firm beliefs about what he loves and hates about TV. If TV fans think the high point of televised political wit was M*A*S*H, or that Johnny Carson was the true king of late-night, Ken Tucker does his damnedest to convince them that they've been hoodwinked, duped by pixilated mists of memory and bad TV criticism. His dazzling, provocative, and entertaining pieces include LOVES: James Garner as TV's Cary Grant, Pamela Anderson's breasts, David Brinkley--the only anchor who understood that being an anchor was a hollow ego-trip, Heather Locklear as the ultimate TV Personality, Bill O'Reilly--why the biggest asshole on TV is a great TV personality. And from his HATE lists: "The Sopranos" as The Great Saga That Sags, Miss Peggy as media star, Bob Newhart: Human Prozac, Worst Mothers on TV, Star Trek-Sci-Fi suckiness decked out as utopian idealism. His perception and passion about this much maligned medium gives the lie to passive cliché's like "vegging out in front of the boob tube." This book is the TV version of Michael Moore's Stupid White Men or Bill O'Reilly's The No-Spin Zone.

But when a wicked cowboy wolf shows up on the Grey Wolf ranch, offering everything Maeve's heart desires, her eyes are opened to a whole new world beyond the packlands.

It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker.

This insightful compilation, featuring the expertise of five authors, equips you with a multi-faceted understanding and the practical steps to reclaim your life. Frank James' contributions lay a solid foundation for recovery. "Emotionally Abusive Relationships" unearths the dark underbelly of relationships marred by personality disorders, providing clarity on the abuser's psyche and the disturbing effects on victims. His "Overcoming Codependency" pivots towards healing, offering strategies for those caught in the webs of relational dependency, advocating for self-awareness and transformation. Larry Tate's "Emotionally Abusive And Verbally Abusive Relationships" takes a broader scope, examining the societal and cultural backdrop that often sanctions such toxic dynamics. Tate's analysis is accompanied by actionable solutions for individuals seeking solace and strength to move beyond abuse. D.C. Johnson's "Are You In A Toxic Relationship?" serves as a beacon for self-realization, encouraging you to identify and sever ties with toxicity. It empowers you to embrace self-worth and step towards joy and contentment, free from the shadows of detrimental relationships.

Love's methods aim to rescue and resuscitate relationships teetering on the edge of collapse, focusing on mutual understanding and respect. Concluding with Darryl H. Tucker's "Ditch The Drama," this guide arms you with the strategies to end relationships gracefully. It's about confronting the end with integrity and moving forward without the excess baggage of drama. "Emotional and Verbal Abuse Recovery Plan" synthesizes the wisdom of these five experts into a singular, potent resource. It's more than a book—it's a journey to empowerment, an invitation to a life unchained from emotional despair, and a new chapter of freedom and self-discovery.
Book Synopsis ESG and Responsible Institutional Investing Around the World: A Critical Review by : Pedro Matos
Download or read book ESG and Responsible Institutional Investing Around the World: A Critical Review written by Pedro Matos and published by CFA Institute Research Foundation. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This survey examines the vibrant academic literature on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing. While there is no consensus on the exact list of ESG issues, responsible investors increasingly assess stocks in their portfolios based on nonfinancial data on environmental impact (e.g., carbon emissions), social impact (e.g., employee satisfaction), and governance attributes (e.g., board structure). The objective is to reduce exposure to investments that pose greater ESG risks or to influence companies to become more sustainable. One active area of research at present involves assessing portfolio risk exposure to climate change. This literature review focuses on institutional investors, which have grown in importance such that they have now become the largest holders of shares in public companies globally. Historically, institutional investors tended to concentrate their ESG efforts mostly on corporate governance (the “G” in ESG). These efforts included seeking to eliminate provisions that restrict shareholder rights and enhance managerial power, such as staggered boards, supermajority rules, golden parachutes, and poison pills. Highlights from this section: · There is no consensus on the exact list of ESG issues and their materiality. · The ESG issue that gets the most attention from institutional investors is climate change, in particular their portfolio companies’ exposure to carbon risk and “stranded assets.” · Investors should be positioning themselves for increased regulation, with the regulatory agenda being more ambitious in the European Union than in the United States. Readers might come away from this survey skeptical about the potential for ESG investing to affect positive change. I prefer to characterize the current state of the literature as having a “healthy dose of skepticism,” with much more remaining to be explored. Here, I hope the reader comes away with a call to action. For the industry practitioner, I believe that the investment industry should strive to achieve positive societal goals. CFA Institute provides an exemplary case in its Future of Finance series (www.cfainstitute.org/research/future-finance). For the academic community, I suggest we ramp up research aimed at tackling some of the open questions around the pressing societal goals of ESG investing. I am optimistic that practitioners and academics will identify meaningful ways to better harness the power of global financial markets for addressing the pressing ESG issues facing our society.
