query: Cheaper by the dozen is a title.

pos: Cheaper by the Dozen (2003 film) Cheaper by the Dozen is a 2003 American family comedy film which takes its title from the autobiographical book of the same name by Frank B. Gilbreth , Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey , but despite the title and the concept of a family with twelve children , ranging from 5 year old Nigel & Kyle to 22 year old Nora , the film bears no resemblance to the book nor its original film adaptation , although it is mentioned that the mother 's maiden name is Gilbreth . The film was directed by Shawn Levy , narrated by Bonnie Hunt , and starring Steve Martin . The film was released on December 25 , 2003 by 20th Century Fox , ultimately grossing just over $ 190 million worldwide .

neg: Film poster A film poster is a poster used to promote and advertise a film . Studios often print several posters that vary in size and content for various domestic and international markets . They normally contain an image with text . Today 's posters often feature photographs of the main actors . Prior to the 1990s , illustrations instead of photos were far more common . The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors . It may also include a tagline , the name of the director , names of characters , the release date , etc. .   Film posters are displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters , and elsewhere on the street or in shops . The same images appear in the film exhibitor 's pressbook and may also be used on websites , DVD ( and historically VHS ) packaging , flyers , advertisements in newspapers and magazines , etc. .   Film posters have been used since the earliest public exhibitions of film . They began as outside placards listing the programme of ( short ) films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater . By the early 1900s , they began to feature illustrations of a film scene or an array of overlaid images from several scenes . Other posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film , represented in a wide variety of artistic styles .

neg: Target Corporation Target Corporation is the second-largest discount store retailer in the United States , behind Walmart , and a component of the S&P 500 Index . Founded by George Dayton and headquartered in Minneapolis , Minnesota , the company was originally named Goodfellow Dry Goods in June 1902 before being renamed the Dayton 's Dry Goods Company in 1903 and later the Dayton Company in 1910 . The first Target store opened in Roseville , Minnesota in 1962 while the parent company was renamed the Dayton Corporation in 1967 . It became the Dayton-Hudson Corporation after merging with the J.L. Hudson Company in 1969 and held ownership of several department store chains including Dayton 's , Hudson 's , Marshall Field 's , and Mervyn 's .   Target established itself as the highest-earning division of the Dayton-Hudson Corporation in the 1970s ; it began expanding the store nationwide in the 1980s and introduced new store formats under the Target brand in the 1990s . The company has found success as a cheap-chic player in the industry . The parent company was renamed the Target Corporation in 2000 and divested itself of its last department store chains in 2004 . It suffered from a highly publicized security breach of customer data and the failure of its short-lived Canadian subsidiary in the early 2010s but experienced revitalized success with its expansion in urban markets within the United States .   As of 2017 , Target operates 1,806 stores throughout the United States . Their retail formats include the discount store Target , the hypermarket SuperTarget , and `` flexible format '' stores previously named CityTarget and TargetExpress before being consolidated under the Target branding . Target is often recognized for its emphasis on `` the needs of its younger , image-conscious shoppers , '' whereas its rival Walmart more heavily relies on its strategy of `` always low prices . ''

neg: Collecting The hobby of collecting includes seeking , locating , acquiring , organizing , cataloging , displaying , storing , and maintaining whatever items are of interest to the individual collector . The scope of collecting is unlimited , which is expressed in the hyperbolic expression : `` If something exists , somebody somewhere collects them . ''   The most obvious way to categorise collections is by the type of objects collected . Most collections are of manufactured commercial items , but natural objects such as birds ' eggs , butterflies , rocks , and seashells can also be the subject of a collection . Some collectors may collect not a specific type of object , but instead objects with specific properties ; for example , some people collect items that once belonged to famous people . Among collections of manufactured items , the objects may be antique , or simply collectible . Antiques are collectible items at least 100 years old , while collectibles can be arbitrarily recent . Collectors and dealers may use the word vintage to describe older collectibles . Items which were once everyday objects but may now be collectible since almost all those once produced have been destroyed or discarded are called ephemera . Philately , phillumeny , and deltiology ( collecting postage stamps , matchboxes , and postcards ) are forms of collecting which can be undertaken at minimal expense .   Some collectors are generalists with very broad criteria for inclusion , while others focus on a subtopic within their area of interest . Some collectors accumulate arbitrarily many objects that meet the thematic and quality requirements of their collection , others -- called completists or completionists -- aim to acquire all items in a well-defined set that can in principle be completed , and others seek a limited number of items per category ( e.g. one representative item per year of manufacture or place of purchase ) . The monetary value of objects is important to some collectors but irrelevant to others . Some collectors maintain objects in pristine condition , while others use the items they collect .   Collecting is for some people a childhood hobby , but for others a lifelong pursuit or one that begins in adulthood . Collectors who begin early in life often modify their aims when they get older . Some novice collectors start purchasing items that appeal to them then slowly work at learning how to build a collection , while others prefer to develop some background in the field before starting to buy items .   The emergence of the internet as a global forum for different collectors has resulted in many isolated enthusiasts finding each other .

neg: Daily fantasy sports Daily fantasy sports ( DFS ) are a subset of fantasy sport games . As with traditional fantasy sports games , players compete against others by building a team of professional athletes from a particular league or competition while remaining under a salary cap , and earn points based on the actual statistical performance of the players in real-world competitions . Daily fantasy sports are an accelerated variant of traditional fantasy sports that are conducted over short-term periods , such as a week or single day of competition , as opposed to those that are played across an entire season . Daily fantasy sports are typically structured in the form of paid competitions typically referred to as a `` contest '' ; winners receive a share of a pre-determined pot funded by their entry fees . A portion of entry fee payments go to the provider as rake revenue .   In the United States , the daily fantasy sports industry is dominated by two competing services : the New York-based FanDuel , and the Boston-based DraftKings . Both companies were established as venture capital-backed startup companies , received funding from investment firms , sports broadcasters , leagues , and team owners , and became known for the aggressive marketing of their services . As of September 2015 , both companies have an estimated value of at least $ 1 billion , and control 95 % of the U.S. DFS market . The two primarily compete against smaller DFS services , such as Fantasy Aces and Yahoo! Sports . The popularity of the daily fantasy format has been credited to its convenience in comparison to season-length games , as well as the focus on major cash prizes in the promotion of these services . Daily fantasy has also been credited with helping to improve television viewership and engagement with sports .   Daily fantasy sports have faced notable legal challenges , including disputes over whether DFS constitutes gambling . Politicians and other critics have argued that due to their format , players are essentially making proposition wagers on the varying performance of individual athletes in specific games , and not managing the performance of their selections on a week-to-week basis . Proponents have defended DFS as being a game of skill , as the required familiarity with the players and teams , as well as salary cap management , rewards skilled players . Local laws have varying definitions of gambling games , such as whether a game 's elements of chance are predominant over those or skill , or how much control the player has over the outcome of the game .   In the United States , the legality of DFS has been determined on a state-by-state basis based on local gambling laws and other rulings . The federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act ( UIEGA ) contains language dictating that fantasy sports are not considered an unlawful wager under the act ; however , the act only prohibits the electronic transfer of funds from unlawful gambling as defined under state laws . A number of state attorneys general have issued opinions concluding that DFS is a form of illegal gambling , while the state of Nevada declared that DFS games must be licensed as a sports pool . The New York State ruling , which resulted from an investigation of DFS services after it was alleged that employees working for DraftKings and FanDuel had used inside information to win cash prizes from each other , spawned retaliatory lawsuits from the companies which alleged that the rulings were the result of a misinterpretation of the nature of their services . The state has since joined other states , such as Massachusetts and Virginia , in choosing to legalize and regulate DFS rather than prohibit it .

neg: Half.com Half.com is a subsidiary of eBay , in which sellers offer items at fixed prices , usually items that have a UPC , ISBN , or other kind of SKU , rather than rare , old or collectible items . The items available on half.com are limited to books , textbooks , music , movies , video games , and video game consoles .   Half provides a platform where sellers competitively `` bid '' against one another , based on Universal Product Code . The seller can see the average sale price and most recent sale price for any particular item to determine the selling price desired . A potential buyer sees the available inventory for any particular item and can choose the seller . This is the opposite of eBay where buyers bid against one another . The Pre-order feature allows buyers to set a price and quality rating of a particular item they would like to buy . Sellers see the pre-order listed when they put an item up for sale and may sell it to the buyer if they agree with the buyer 's price .   There are no fees to list items on Half.com , but rather the company takes a commission of every completed sale . The seller is responsible for shipping any item within three business days of a sale and paying the actual shipping costs .

neg: Remaindered book Remaindered books or remainders are printed books that are no longer selling well and whose remaining unsold copies are liquidated by the publisher at greatly reduced prices . While the publisher may take a net loss on the sales of these books , they are able to recover at least some of their sunken costs on the sale and clear out space in the warehouses .   Copies of remaindered books may be marked by the publisher , distributor , or bookseller to prevent them from being returned . `` Remainder marks '' have varied over the years , but today most remainders are marked with a stroke with a felt-tipped marker across the top or bottom of the book 's pages , near the spine .   Only hardcovers and trade paperbacks ( paperback books , often larger than `` pocket '' paperbacks , sold `` to the trade '' or directly to sales outlets ) are typically remaindered . Mass market paperbacks ( `` pocket '' paperback books sold through a third-party distributor ) usually become stripped books rather than remaindered books . A book that might retail for $ 20 will typically be purchased by someone specializing in remainders for $ 1 and resold for approximately $ 5 .

neg: Newspapers in the United States Newspapers in the United States have been published since the 18th century and are an integral part of the culture of the United States . Although a few newspapers including the New York Times , USA Today , and the Wall Street Journal are sold throughout the United States , most U.S. newspapers are published for city or regional markets . The New York Times is often referred to as the United States ' `` newspaper of record '' .

neg: Small Business Innovation Research The Small Business Innovation Research ( or SBIR ) program is a United States Government program , coordinated by the Small Business Administration , intended to help certain small businesses conduct research and development ( R&D ) . Funding takes the form of contracts or grants . The recipient projects must have the potential for commercialization and must meet specific U.S. Government R&D needs .   The SBIR program was created to support scientific excellence and technological innovation through the investment of federal research funds in critical American priorities to build a strong national economy ... one business at a time . In the words of program founder Roland Tibbetts : `` to provide funding for some of the best early-stage innovation ideas -- ideas that , however promising , are still too high risk for private investors , including venture capital firms . '' For the purposes of the SBIR program , the term `` small business '' is defined as a for-profit business with fewer than 500 employees , owned by one or more individuals who are citizens of , or permanent resident aliens in , the United States of America .   Funds are obtained by allocating a certain percentage of the total extramural ( R&D ) budgets of the 11 federal agencies with extramural research budgets in excess of $ 100 million . Approximately $ 2.5 billion is awarded through this program each year . The United States Department of Defense ( DoD ) is the largest agency in this program with approximately $ 1 billion in SBIR grants annually . Over half the awards from the DoD are to firms with fewer than 25 people and a third to firms of fewer than 10 . A fifth are minority or women-owned businesses . Historically a quarter of the companies receiving grants are receiving them for the first-time . Besides the DoD , there are also programs with the National Institutes of Health , the National Science Foundation , the Department of Agriculture , and others .

neg: Magazine A magazine is a publication , usually a periodical publication , which is printed or electronically published ( sometimes referred to as an online magazine ) . Magazines are generally published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content . They are generally financed by advertising , by a purchase price , by prepaid subscriptions , or a combination of the three . At its root , the word `` magazine '' refers to a collection or storage location . In the case of written publication , it is a collection of written articles . This explains why magazine publications share the word root with gunpowder magazines , artillery magazines , firearms magazines , and , in French , retail stores such as department stores .

neg: Gun shop A gun shop ( also known by various other names such as firearm store and gun store ) is a business establishment that sells small arms , such as handguns and shotguns , to individuals in an open shopping format . Other items such as ammunition and accessories for hunting are frequently sold on the premises as well , even including souvenir t-shirts . Often having designs reminiscent of other establishments such as department stores displaying various items of clothing on racks and grocery stores displaying various foodstuffs on shelves , these firms operate under widely different gun control laws depending on the specific nation-state and locality involved . Some locations may only employ a single gunsmith in a small space while others might have many individuals working in a large space .   Although the advent of online shopping has changed the business of gun stores , the ability for customers to interact face to face with store dealers often is seen as having advantages , examples being personally guiding individuals buying firearms through the regulated purchase processes set up by local and national laws . Employees may also offer specific advice about firearm specifications . Various firearm-related websites exist that partner , either directly or indirectly , with physical stores .   In the United States , gun shops are required to have a permitting notice known as a Federal Firearms License . These licenses exist in order to administer federally mandated regulations such as bans on straw purchasing .

neg: 1950s American automobile culture 1950s American automobile culture has had an enduring influence on the culture of the United States , as reflected in popular music , major trends from the 1950s and mainstream acceptance of the `` hot rod '' culture . The American manufacturing economy switched from producing war-related items to consumer goods at the end of World War II , and by the end of the 1950s , one in six working Americans were employed either directly or indirectly in the automotive industry . The United States became the world 's largest manufacturer of automobiles , and Henry Ford 's goal of 30 years earlier -- that any man with a good job should be able to afford an automobile -- was achieved . A new generation of service businesses focusing on customers with their automobiles sprang up during the decade , including drive-through or drive-in restaurants and more drive-in theaters ( cinemas ) .   The decade began with 25 million registered automobiles on the road , most of which predated World War II and were in poor condition ; no automobiles or parts were produced during the war owing to rationing and restrictions . By 1950 , most factories had made the transition to a consumer-based economy , and more than 8 million cars were produced that year alone . By 1958 , there were more than 67 million cars registered in the United States , more than twice the number at the start of the decade .   As part of the U.S. national defenses , to support military transport , the National Highway System was expanded with Interstate highways , beginning in 1955 , across many parts of the United States . The wider , multi-lane highways allowed traffic to move at faster speeds , with few or no stoplights on the way . The wide-open spaces along the highways became a basis for numerous billboards showing advertisements .   The dawning of the Space Age and Space Race were reflected in contemporary American automotive styling . Large tailfins , flowing designs reminiscent of rockets , and radio antennas that imitated Sputnik 1 were common , owing to the efforts of design pioneers such as Harley Earl .

neg: Standard Oil Co. v. United States (Standard Stations) Standard Oil Co. v. United States , 337 U.S. 293 ( 1949 ) , more commonly referred to as the Standard Stations case ( because that was the brand name of the company whose exclusive dealing contracts were held unlawful in the case . and also because there is a 1911 case with the same caption Standard Oil Co. v. United States ) , is a 1947 decision of the United States Supreme Court in which requirements contracts for gasoline stations ( Standard Stations ) were held to violate section 3 of the Clayton Act . That statute prohibits selling goods on the condition that the customer must not deal in the goods of a competitor of the seller , such as in a requirements contract , if the effect is to `` substantially lessen competition '' or `` tend to create a monopoly . '' The doctrine of this case has been referred to as `` quantitative substantiality , '' and its exact contours were unsettled and controversial for many years until the Supreme Court authoritatively explained it in United States v. Philadelphia National Bank ( Philadelphia Bank case ) , 374 U.S. 321 ( 1963 ) .   The importance of the decision and its place in antitrust jurisprudence have been characterized in these terms :   Standard Stations is the richest and the most difficult of all the vertical integration cases . Each of the tensions that has been mentioned within the structure of antitrust is revealed in the Standard Stations decision . As the leading case on integration by contract , it has been the subject of extensive commentary and controversy . The decision may raise as many problems as it settles , but the rule of Standard Stations is one which must be reckoned with in all vertical integration cases , and comprehension of this rule is essential to evaluation of the impact of antitrust upon integration .   The case has been the subject of extensive scholarly commentary .

neg: Gambling advertising Gambling advertising is the promotion of gambling by casinos , lotteries , bookmakers or other organisations that provide the opportunity to make bets . It is usually conducted through a variety of media or through sponsorship deals , particularly with sporting events or people .   Although not as highly regulated as tobacco advertising and alcohol advertising , in many countries there are strict laws about the way in which such services can be marketed .   Gaming operators often sponsor sporting events , sportspeople or television coverage . For example , Bet365 sponsor snooker players and the Channel 4 coverage of The 2005 Ashes was sponsored by Betfair , both being online betting sites . In other instances , they will do stunts to get public attention . For example , many professional boxers have been sponsored by GoldenPalace.com , and sport temporary Golden Palace tattoos on their bodies .   To get around advertising restrictions , some online poker companies advertise free-play sites , like PartyPoker.net and PokerStars.net , and sometimes even call these free sites `` poker schools '' . These sites restrict access to those of legal age , even though it is not required .   In Australia , the principle gaming agency TAB ( Totalisator Agency Board ) ran advertisements on TV during the 1990s , under the tagline `` The Adrenaline Bet '' ( a play on the company 's name ) . Since then , the TAB has been restricted from all advertising on television and other media , but is still allowed to print race dividends in the newspaper .   From September 2007 the UK banned the advertising of around 1,000 gambling sites because they do not meet the guidelines dictated by the Department for Culture , Media and Sport .   Channel 4 Racing enjoyed a turnaround in its financial fortunes after UK law was changed to allow bookmakers to advertise directly on TV ; it now contains bookmakers ' adverts placed within the programme , shortly before each race .

neg: Direct selling Direct selling is the marketing and selling of products directly to consumers away from a fixed retail location . Peddling is the oldest form of direct selling . Modern direct selling includes sales made through the party plan , one-on-one demonstrations , and other personal contact arrangements as well as internet sales . Some sources have defined direct selling as : `` The direct personal presentation , demonstration , and sale of products and services to consumers , usually in their homes or at their jobs . ''   Direct selling consists of two main business models : single-level marketing , in which a direct seller makes money by buying products from a parent organization and selling them directly to customers , and multi-level marketing ( also known as network marketing or person-to-person marketing ) , in which the direct seller may earn money from both direct sales to customers and by sponsoring new direct sellers and potentially earning a commission from their efforts .

neg: Blue Book Top 20 Network Rankings The Performance Marketing Blue Book , owned by privately held mThink LLC , provides online affiliates and merchants with an independently researched ranking of affiliate networks worldwide .  It is published in the form of two `` Top 20 '' league tables , one for CPA networks and one for networks using a revenue sharing business model , cost-per-sale .

In addition to the survey , the research process aggregates industry expert views , traffic data , measures of industry influence and other information .   The Blue Ribbon Panel  The Blue Ribbon Panel is a group of performance marketing industry experts representing each of the three core parts of the industry : advertisers , publishers and networks . Members are selected on the basis of their experience and reputation . Their opinions are collected via interviews and online survey , and are incorporated into the research process for the Performance Marketing Blue Book .

neg: Sports marketing Sports marketing is a subdivision of marketing which focuses both on the promotion of sports events and teams as well as the promotion of other products and services through sporting events and sports teams . It is a service in which the element promoted can be a physical product or a brand name . The goal is to provide the client with strategies to promote the sport or to promote something other than sport through sports . Sport marketing is also designed to meet the needs and wants of the consumer through exchange processes . These strategies follow the traditional four `` P '' 's of general marketing Product , Price , Promotion and Place , another four `` P '' 's are added to sport marketing , relating to the fact sports are considered to be a service . The additional 4 P 's are : Planning , Packaging , Positioning and Perception . The addition of the four extra elements is called the `` sport marketing mix . ''   Sports marketing is an element of sports promotion which involves a wide variety of sectors of the sport industry including broadcasting , advertising , social media , digital platforms , ticket sales , and community relations .   Sports marketing is divided into three sectors . The first is the advertising of sport and sports associations such as the Olympics , Spanish Football league and the NFL , as well as sport teams like Real Madrid and the New York Yankees . The second concerns the use of sporting events , sporting teams and individual athletes to promote various products . The third category is the promotion of sport to the public in order to increase participation .   In the first case , the promotion is directly related to sports . In the second case , the products can but do not have to be directly related to sports . When the promotion is about sports in general , the use of this kind of strategy is called `` Marketing of Sports . '' When the promotion is not about the sports but sports events , athletes , teams or leagues are used to promote different products , the marketing strategy is denominated `` Marketing through sports . '' When the promotion is about increasing participation among the public , it is called `` Grassroots Sports Marketing . '' To promote the products or services , the companies and associations use different channels such as sponsorships of teams or athletes , television or radio advertisement during the different broadcast sports events and celebrations , and/or advertisement on sporting venues .   `` Street marketing of sport '' considers sport marketing through billboards on the street and also through urban elements ( street lighters and sidewalks , etc. ) to help promote and gain publicity during major worldwide sporting events such as the Football World Cup , the Olympic Games , or the Super Bowl .

neg: Access Books Access Books is a nonprofit volunteer organization that gives books to disadvantaged children 's libraries in Southern California . These are primarily public and charter school libraries in the inner city , where over 90 % of the population lives in poverty and books are generally scarce . As one study showed , children in Beverly Hills have ready access to as many as 400 times more books than children living in the Compton and Watts areas of South Los Angeles . Underfunded libraries also tend to be in worse physical condition and less user-friendly than their affluent counterparts .   Rebecca Constantino founded Access Books in 1999 while doing graduate research on the roles of school and community libraries in Los Angeles . Working with a school in Brentwood , she discovered a plan to throw away hundreds of books to make way for new ones . She salvaged the rejected books and donated them to a public school in Compton . The library at this elementary school had been closed for so long that `` the door was locked and no one knew where the keys had gone . '' This was the start of Access Books . As Constantino said , `` If you take away poverty as a predictor , the state of the school library is the best indicator of literacy , reading achievement , success in school . I ca n't possibly take away poverty ... . But I can do something about the libraries in our children 's schools . ''   So far , Access Books has given more than 1.3 million new and used books to over 200 libraries and community centers in Southern California . Primarily intended to encourage reading for pleasure , these books include popular fiction , early picture and chapter books , biographies , classics , and young adult novels . The emphasis on pleasure reading is intended to encourage children to become motivated readers ; to help provide them with a foundation for all reading , including academic reading .   Access Books acquires new books via donations from publishers and distributors or buying them at a discount with grants from charities , businesses , or wealthy individuals . Recipient libraries may request specific titles that are of particular interest to their communities . Used books mostly come from individual donations and book drives by ad hoc groups or local organizations such as middle-class suburban and private schools . Access Books encourages partnerships between schools that have resources and those needing them , as with a book drive led by two students at Oaks Christian School , a private school in Westlake Village . This drive yielded over 11,000 books for new charter schools in North Hollywood and downtown L.A.   Access Books delivers and helps process the thousands of books that go to each library . At Saturday library events scheduled during the school year , volunteers from Access Books and the donating and receiving schools together sort , label , and shelve the books . This reduces overhead and speeds up the availability of the books for use . To further improve the libraries , volunteers also paint colorful literacy-themed murals and install items such as comfortable furniture and rugs for reading . The Saturday events expedite this work and facilitate contact between diverse communities .   Access Books fundraisers and community outreach events have included book signings with authors Jamie Lee Curtis , Cornelia Funke , and Jeff Kinney as well as conferences for young writers and illustrators . The conferences , held at venues such as the Milken Community High School and UCLA , have included keynote speakers and workshops led by professional writers .

neg: List of The New York Times Manga Best Sellers The New York Times Best Seller list for manga published in the United States was introduced on March 5 , 2009 , along with two additional lists for hardcover and paperback graphic novels . The three lists are grouped under the `` Graphic Books '' category . Deborah Hoffman , an editor for the Best Seller lists , explained that the term `` Graphic Books '' was selected to create an `` inclusive and expansive '' list which can extend to works of both fiction and non-fiction . Journalist George Gustines announced , in his introduction of the new lists , `` Comics have finally joined the mainstream . '' The announcement was made the week the film Watchmen , based on the comic book of the same name , was released in movie theaters throughout the U.S. . The Best Seller lists are printed weekly in The New York Times Book Review magazine , which is published in the Sunday edition of The New York Times and as a stand-alone publication .   Gustines explained the methodology used to determine the rankings :   Rankings reflect sales of graphic novels -LSB- ... -RSB- at many thousands of venues where a wide range of books are sold nationwide . These include hundreds of independent book retailers ( statistically weighted to represent all such outlets ) ; national , regional and local chains ; online and multimedia entertainment retailers ; university , gift , supermarket , discount department stores and newsstands . In addition , these rankings also include unit sales reported by retailers nationwide that specialize in graphic novels and comic books .   On multiple occasions , manga have been listed outside its designated list . Mike Kiley , then-Senior Vice President of the publisher Tokyopop , explained in 2010 that it has become more difficult to draw a distinguishing line between works that are manga and manga-inspired , such as Korean manhwa and American original English language ( OEL ) manga . A Drifting Life , an autobiographical manga by Yoshihiro Tatsumi , appeared on the May 3 , 2009 , Best Seller list for paperback graphic novels , where it ranked third . X-Men : Misfits , an original English manga based on the X-Men comic book franchise , ranked fifth at its debut on the August 30 , 2009 , paperback graphic novels list , and stayed on the chart for five consecutive weeks . The first volume of a manhwa adaptation of the popular vampire-themed Twilight novels by Stephenie Meyer remained on the hardcover graphic novels Best Seller list for 27 consecutive weeks in 2010 .   In January 2017 , the Times decided to stop producing the separate manga best seller list .

neg: Price controls Price controls are governmental restrictions on the prices that can be charged for goods and services in a market . The intent behind implementing such controls can stem from the desire to maintain affordability of goods , to prevent during shortages , and to slow inflation , or , alternatively , to ensure a minimum income for providers of certain goods or a minimum wage . There are two primary forms of price control , a price ceiling , the maximum price that can be charged , and a price floor , the minimum price that can be charged .   Historically , price controls have often been imposed as part of a larger incomes policy package also employing wage controls and other regulatory elements .   Although price controls are sometimes used by governments , economists usually agree that price controls do n't accomplish what they are intended to do and are generally to be avoided . For example , nearly three-quarters of economists surveyed disagreed with the statement , `` Wage-price controls are a useful policy option in the control of inflation . ''

neg: Licensure Licensure means a restricted practice or a restriction on the use of an occupational title , requiring a license . A license created under a `` practice act '' requires a license before performing a certain activity , such as driving a car on public roads . A license created under a `` title act '' restricts the use of a given occupational title to licensees , but anyone can perform the activity itself under a less restricted title . For example , in Oregon , anyone can practice counseling , but only licensees can call themselves a `` Licensed Professional Counselors . ''   Licenses are usually justified to regulate an activity whose incompetent execution would be threat to the public , such as surgery . For some occupations and professions , licensing is often granted through a professional body or a licensing board composed of practitioners who oversee the applications for licenses . This often involves accredited training and examinations , but varies a great deal for different activities and in different countries . Practicing without a license may carry civil or criminal penalties or may be perfectly legal .   Occupational licensing is inherently a form of restraint of trade . This can cause conflict with laws forbidding monopolistic practices if the licensing body favors its own licensees in ways that do not clearly protect the public . In the United States , state licensing boards have been successfully prosecuted by the Federal Trade Commission for monopolistic activities .


query: Emma Thompson was never married to Kenneth Branagh.

pos: Emma Thompson Emma Thompson ( born 15 April 1959 ) is a British actress , activist , author , comedienne and screenwriter . Born in London to English actor Eric Thompson and Scottish actress Phyllida Law , Thompson was educated at Newnham College , University of Cambridge , where she became a member of the Footlights troupe . After appearing in several comedy programmes , she first came to prominence in 1987 in two BBC TV series , Tutti Frutti and Fortunes of War , winning the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for her work in both series .

He grew in notoriety with his `` Dere Mable '' letters , a humorous column from an illiterate soldier writing home . Serialized between 1917 and 1919 in the 27th ( NY ) Division 's magazine `` Gas Attack '' , they were inspired by Streeter 's time spent on an army base ( Camp Wadsworth , near Spartansburg SC ) during World War I . The humorous letters were compiled in 1919 in Streeter 's full-length books Dere Mable and Thats me all over , Mable .   After returning home from the war , Streeter pursued writing casually , deciding to focus on his work as a businessman . For eight years he served as assistant vice president , before transitioning to the Fifth Avenue Bank in New York City , ( later , The Bank of New York ) where he served as vice president for twenty-five years .
