...The Effects of Hollywood Since the eventful day of September 11th torture has been a hot topic for the media, movies, and has even sparked debate amongst government officials. In the article, “Whatever it Takes” by Jane Mayer, she debates on the subject by comparing real life torture from an interrogators point of view and those of the fantasy world from which the producers and writers come up with for the hit TV show 24. Mayer attempts to influence her readers about the effects that the show 24 has on its viewers, which include young cadets, through interviews with highly trained interrogators. Mayer also interviews the show’s writers, producers, and actors to expose some of the main concerns in regards to the torture scenes in the hit show 24. Throughout the article, Mayer makes it clear that she does not agree with the way torture is being projected in the show 24 by starting off her discussion questioning the producer’s credibility, Joel Surnow. Mayer wants people to see Surnow as an arrogant and selfish person by quoting Surnow as saying, “People in the Administration love the series, too, it’s a patriotic show. They should love it” (Surnow Qtd in Mayer 1). Mayer’s point is that Surnow is very confident in the show’s popularity regardless of the criticism the show brings amongst some of its viewers. Surnow also bluntly tells Mayer that he is arrogant, there’s no denying it. She also points out many times in her article that he is a conservative and goes on to say that...

...Which CTU agent was executed in season three of "24"? When did the vindictive Nina and Sherry die? How does Jack Bauer return to CTU after being assumed dead at the conclusion of season four? 2. Credibility: I have not missed a single episode of twenty four since its deputed 5 years ago. Tonight the show is on from 8pm-9pm but you better believe that the TIVO is set. 24 revolutionized the after work action/drama genre for me. It deals with contemporary issues, real and more or less plausible terrorist threats, and a real-time hourly format, 24 redefined my expectations for all shows going forward. 3. Thesis: 24 is a great alternative to mindless, dull, and uninteresting television shows that flood the airways today. 24 is sure to grasp your attention away from other shows such as “The Apprentice©”, “Americas Funniest Home Videos©”, and “Gilmore Girls©” that sure the same time slot. II. BODY: 1. NEED STEP: A. There are many shows on television that just don’t catch the attention of the viewers. If any of you are like my uncle you may just watch whatever show the remote takes you too. While this can be entertaining, it does may not satisfy you as much as it could. B. Although “CSPAN©” may teach you politics, “Iron Chef©” may enhance your cooking skills, and “WWE Raw©” may give some that macho soap opera experience; none of these shows will give you the overall satisfaction that 24 has to offer. It is full of romance, suspense,...

...Analysis 7 Case Keys 8 Alternatives 9 Recommendation 10 Action Plan 10 Contingency Plan 11 Appendix A Exhibit 1 Segmentation Chart 12 Bibliography 12 Executive Summary MMI Product Placement Inc., established in 1985, is the pioneer in the business of product placement in Canada. MMI leveraged its relationship with the Canadian entertainment industry to incorporate its clients’ brands into films and TV shows. Greyhound, the country’s largest provider of intercity bus transportation, recruited MMI services to provide cost-effective ways to communicate its marketing message to consumers. Philip Hart, president of MMI, was preparing to make a final pitch to sign up Greyhound as client. For Greyhound, the major competitors include VIA Rail, owned automobile, and airline transportation companies. The consumer segmentation can be divided into three groups including college and university students, newer professionals and established professionals. The target market will be age 18 to 24 college and university young professionals. Philip Hart needs to decide which promotional vehicle would be best for Greyhound’s product placement. The alternative choices include to stick with traditional advertising, or product placement on TV series shows like “Corner Gas” or “Canadian Idol”. We would recommend that MMI present Greyhound in the TV series called “Making the Cut”. Problem Statement Philip Hart, president of Toronto based MM1 Product Placement (MM1) is close...

...In order to develop a product for young people and considering we know what it is to be young, we decided we had to develop a product that included most of youth likes and interests such as: music, dancing, social interaction, going partying, etc, Then “Club Ride” appeared as a great opportunity: a bus that gives an idea of pre-party, providing certain feeling of a small space of about thirty people where they can drink, laugh, dance, and make new friends. What we offer is therefore not only a transport service but an entire experience of fun and music. Why? Simple! Inside the bus they would not only benefit from listening to great music and enjoying complete modern design (including sofas, poles, neon lights, etc.) but they will have the opportunity to drink for free as well. They will only have to pay the bus ticket which actually includes a free pass to the discotheques included in the tour and the drinks they have inside. However this project is not able to satisfy every young man or woman in Madrid specially because we have to consider that there are at least 371.226 young people from 20 to 24 years old (not even taking into account the 102.532 immigrants that arrived this last year to Madrid). With this great amount of potential customers, it is impossible to take into account the whole market, it is necessary to direct all the attention to those man/ woman who would actually need this product. In order to obtain enough information about the costumer’s behaviour,...

...anti-Americanism in Europe in general, and in France in particular. I have been living in the U.S. for 9 months now, and the way U.S. individuals and politicians cope with this issue is different compared to where I come from. France efforts to reduce the human footprint on earth are far more significant than the U.S. The French were very shocked when the U.S. refused to sign the Kyoto agreement. French consider Americans as energy wasters who damage the Earth with their energy-inefficient cars, the absence of efficient public transportation in cities, the absence of a real passenger train network and waste of energy in houses, etc. France discharges 3 times less CO2 per inhabitant than the USA: 8 tons per inhabitant per year compared to 24 tons for the United States of America. This phenomena is due mainly to: The importance (almost 80%) of nuclear power plants in the production of electricity in France; the much lower gas consumption of European cars; the more energy-efficient urban development (less urban sprawl) in Europe; the much less waste of energy in housing (heating, air-conditioning) and much better systems of public transport: fast trains, subway, street cars, car pool. I am going to emphasize on this last point, because it is the most striking difference I have noticed as a student. As such, the MBTA network has to be developed....

...organised. Essential to their operation is the repeatability of the tasks their employees are doing as well as the systemisation of the work, where standards and procedures drive the way in which each part of the job is carried out. This combination provides a low cost base. In contrast a local café has a much lower volume of output, less labour, less systemisation, and each staff member completes a wider variety of tasks which results in higher unit costs. 3. The Variety Dimension A common example used to describe the variety dimension is the contrast between a taxi and a bus service. Both offer hired transportation services but a taxi service has a much higher variety dimension as they will basically pick you up and drop you off wherever it is you need to go. A bus offers a defined route and schedule. Whilst they offer a similar service, variety and flexibility is high for the taxi company and low for the bus company. It is worth noting here that the a low cost model is more easily achieved with less variety. 4. The Variation Dimension Consider two home building companies. One offers prefabricated homes that you choose from a catalogue or online. It is transferred to site and erected over the course of a few days. The second building company offers customised homes they have display homes they have built...

Even advanced learners of English find prepositions difficult, as a 1:1 translation is usually not possible. One preposition in your native language might have several translations depending on the situation. There are hardly any rules as to when to use which preposition. The only way to learn prepositions is looking them up in a dictionary, reading a lot in English (literature) and learning useful phrases off by heart (study tips). The following table contains rules for some of the most frequently used prepositions in English: Prepositions - Time English Usage Example on days of the week on Monday in months / seasons time of day year after a certain period of time (when?) in August / in winter in the morning in 2006 in an hour at for night for weekend a certain point of time (when?) at night at the weekend at half past nine since from a certain point of time (past till now) since 1980 ...

...Local Transportation in Ghana There are a lot of options for travel within Ghana. Sadly, not all drivers are licensed. Use your judgment on the condition and appearance of the vehicle and the operator before using any mode of transportation. Insurance and registration stickers are displayed in the front windscreen of all vehicles in Ghana, allowing easy verification that the vehicle is current. Most road accidents in Ghana are caused because of tires that are in poor condition. Taxis All taxis have orange corners. Some are comfortable, with law-abiding drivers and air conditioning for an extra fee. Others are filthy death traps with unlicensed drivers. Use your judgment on the condition and appearance of the car and driver before using a taxi. Passing taxis that you flag on the street are referred to as "dropping" taxis, and they will take you directly to your destination. There are also dropping taxis that wait for passengers at various locations, but taking a parked dropping taxi is always more expensive than flagging a taxi that is driving by. When a taxi stops, greet him through the open car window and ask how he is doing. After a proper greeting, tell him where you are going and determine that he knows the destination. When he tells you to "get in", your reply should be "How much?" Always negotiate with the taxi driver before you get into the taxi. Otherwise you will pay double the rate, or more.

...The processor socket is the central piece of a motherboard, usually being located near the center of the motherboard. Power Connectors No computer component can operate without power, and a motherboard is no exception. The power connector, commonly a 20 or 24-pin connector, can be situated either near the right edge of the motherboard, or somewhere close to the processor socket on older motherboards. Memory Slots Located in the upper-right part of the motherboard, the memory slots are used to house the computer’s memory modules. The number of slots can vary, depending on motherboard, from 2, in low-end motherboards, all the way up to 8 memory slots, o our mother board Upgrading only the motherboard will give some performance improvement to a computer system. But the improvement performance will be limited as the motherboard doesn't really improve the overall power of your system. The need for all the different busses on the motherboard is to transfer different data from one part of a computer to another. You can think of a bus as a highway on which data travels within a computer. There can never be one single bus for your motherboard each bus is unique and works for the computer in it’s on way.

...Introduction Greyhound Lines, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas is the only nationwide provider of scheduled intercity transportation in the United States. As seen on Greyhound’s web site in 2001 they had more then twenty five million passengers aboard their bus lines and consolidated revenue was $1,022.4 million. Greyhound’s fleet consists of more then 2,300 buses which arrive and depart from one hundred and twelve company-operated terminals and approximately one thousand seven hundred agency-operated terminals. In 2001, the number of employees nationwide on payroll was twelve thousand and of that amount, approximately thirty six percent are drivers. Greyhound bus lines operate a vigorous schedule of twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. All buses are equipped with air conditioning, restrooms, tinted windows and reclining seats and since its inception in 1914, Greyhound has also expanded into other lines of services which include food, package express services and charter services. In 1998, Greyhound Lines, Inc. showed a profit of 35.2 million dollars which was much to celebrate considering that a profit hasn’t been seen since 1993.
