Barbara Schober is a German visual artist. Her work covers a broad range of various media in which the term "Internet Awareness" plays an important role. With ancient techniques and material experiments, she sets a counterpoint to the pervasive digital world. Schober uses photography and freeze-frames, creates digital and analog collages and (re-)digitizes, paints over, or applies material objects to them. She integrates intentionally or randomly created structures elsewhere in her work. A major topic in Schober's work is a dynamic play with perspective and dimensions which continuously destabilizes the position of the viewer. The spontaneous, the accidental and art-trouvé is as important as the artist's personal involvement with the object or the topic. The focus is on liminal areas, precarious balances and pivotal moments in photography, sculpture, film and painting.

Barbara Schober is a German visual artist. Her work covers a broad range of various media in which the term "Internet Awareness" plays an important role. With ancient techniques and material experiments, she sets a counterpoint to the pervasive digital world. Schober uses photography and freeze-frames, creates digital and analog collages and (re-)digitizes, paints over, or applies material objects to them. She integrates intentionally or randomly created structures elsewhere in her work. A major topic in Schober's work is a dynamic play with perspective and dimensions which continuously destabilizes the position of the viewer. The spontaneous, the accidental and art-trouvé is as important as the artist's personal involvement with the object or the topic. The focus is on liminal areas, prec

In this role, she became the first international production partner for the Huayi Brothers, and developed close working partnerships with China Film, China Co-Production Company, and other important Chinese industry partners and government agencies. At Sony, she was responsible for Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, winner of four Oscars that set records in the United States and around the world with US $230 million in global box office receipts. Robinson was also a driving force behind Stephen Chow’s very successful Kung Fu Hustle. Earlier in her career, Robinson partnered with Zhang Yimou on his films Raise the Red Lantern (Silver Lion, Venice 1991; Best Foreign Film, BAFTA 1992) and To Live (Grand Jury Prize, Cannes 1994; Best Foreign Film, BAFTA 1995).

She did not play in 1950, but returned the next year and went 6–10 with a 2.57 ERA, while ending sixth with 93 strikeouts.

Barbara Ryan is a fictional character from the American CBS soap opera As the World Turns. In the early 1970s, Barbara was played by a succession of actresses, but the actress most associated with the role is Colleen Zenk, who played her since September 1, 1978. Better known as simply Barbara Ryan she is portrayed as a heroine who experienced many tragedies, mostly at the hands of her controlling ex-husband, the villainous James Stenbeck (Anthony Herrera). Barbara is the daughter of Jennifer Sullivan. Over her 32 years on the show, Barbara has been shot through the heart, nearly gored by a bull in Spain, kidnapped 15 times, married nine times, burned in a chemical explosion and jumped out of a three-story window. After years of being a heroine, Barbara was transformed when writer Douglas Marland came on board at ATWT in 1985. He decided to make Barbara a "bitch" of sorts, and had her break up long standing couple Tom Hughes and Margo Montgomery. This proved to be unpopular, and Marland quickly reverted the character back to being "good" by pairing Barbara with Oakdale police detective (and later chief) Hal Munson (Benjamin Hendrickson). Again, in the early 2000s (decade), writer Hogan Sheffer turned Barbara back into a scheming villain. Burned up in a chemical explosion in 2001 with the actress donning special effects make-up for a full year, Barbara returned to her evil ways and culminated in her committing crimes such as drugging a police officer and hiring a hit man to murder Rose D'Angelo (Martha Byrne). She then kidnapped three of her female adversaries (Emily Stewart, Carly Tenney and Rose D'Angelo).Though the character has since reformed and become a more or less law-abiding presence in Oakdale, she can still be manipulative and devious when she feels she needs to be. Entertainment reporter Lisa Joyner described the character as a "sultry vixen" who'd made the transition from "helpless victim to scheming villain," whilst TV Guide's Michael Logan called the character Oakdale's "firecracker."

Barbara Snell Dohrenwend (March 26, 1927 – June 28, 1982) was an American epidemiologist and social psychologist. She was born in New York City to Foster D. Snell and Cornelia Tyler Snell. She received a B.A. from Wellesley College in 1947 and a Ph.D. in psychology from Columbia University in 1954. Dohrenwend continued her work as a researcher with positions at the University of Michigan, Cornell University and New York University. In 1961, Dohrenwend joined the faculty at the City College of City University of New York as a lecturer in psychology; in 1972, she was promoted to a full professor where she taught for seven years. Barbara Dohrenwend’s final position was at Columbia University School of Public Health, where she was a professor and the head of the Division of Sociomedical Sciences from 1979 until her death from cancer in 1982. Dohrenwend is credited as one of the major women who contributed to the emergence of community psychology and was the first woman to be elected president of the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Division of Community Psychology, Division 27. In 1981 she and her husband received the Rema Lapouse Award for Distinguished Contribution to Community Psychology and Community Health from the APA. Dohrenwend’s major work focused on stressors in life and their influence on the development and emergence of psychiatric illness. She and her husband, Bruce P. Dohrenwend, worked closely together on this topic, and authored or edited four books, among them, Stressful Life Events: Their Nature and Effects (1974) and Stressful Life Events and Their Contexts (1981). Dohrenwend’s personal philosophy was that research should be conducted with the intention of reducing psychological suffering. Her research practice was praised for its rigor and sophistication in methodology. Her final work before her death was concerned with schizophrenia and major depressive disorder. The work was ultimately published in the American Journal of Community Psychology in 1987 by her collaborators in New York City and Israel titled “Life Stress and Pathology: Progress on Research Begun with Barbara Snell Dohrenwend”. Dohrenwend's other notable publications include; “Symptoms, Hassles, Social Supports, and Life Events: Problem of Confounded Measures,” published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology (1984)]; “Social Status and Stressful Life Events”, in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (1973); “Social and Cultural Influences on Psychopathology", in the Annual Review of Psychology (1974). She published numerous articles in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, American Journal of Community Psychology, and the Journal of Health and Social Behavior as well.
