MUMBAI: Gloria Jean's Coffees, a global coffee retailer, has tied up with integrated hospitality major Citymax India to launch coffee houses across the country.

...HURRICANE BOB The world is filled with many wonders and natural disasters that are powerful enough to remember forever. It has always historically seemed that most natural disasters are weather related and Mother Nature in her fury can be some of the most awesome spectacles on the planet. Hurricane Bob was one of the most catastrophic and vigorous natural disasters to hit the east coast United States in the past century. On August 16th 1991, a tropical depression formed 200 miles to the east of the Bahamas. As the storm slowly moved to the northwest, twenty four hours later it became Hurricane Bob, a vastly powerful Hurricane with a scale reading of 3 out of 5. Bob moved up the east coast accelerating toward Cape Hatteras where it peaked with winds of 135mph. It continued to do so as the Hurricane then arrived in Massachusetts and Cape Cod. This is where most of the disaster and corruption took place. With the Hurricane at full force, communities of Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts were highly impacted. The 100mph plus winds did the most damage to homes, buildings, power lines, and trees. Cape Cod was virtually inaccessible on the roadways and highways. Trees down and all sorts of blowing debris blocked them. Practically all of the rivers and lakes both salt water and fresh were completely over flown. Cars in certain areas were up to the windshield and even the majority of SUV’s couldn’t trek their way trough the storm. On the Outskirts of Cape Cod, Nantucket and...

...Besides being at the brink of madness caused by her self-denial of the passing of her fame, Norma Desmond had also become rather sexual-transgressive. Some male traits shown in Norma consist of her dominance - she demands over Max, financial independence - owns factories which constantly makes profits and her assertive nature - she fearlessly confronts her passion for Joe. The way Norma is ridiculously insane to a degree of dark humour brings sympathy, entertainment and a corrupted depiction of celebrity to audiences. Her dramatic movements, superficial appearances and script-alike dialogues reveal this. This is an illustration the self-possessiveness of celebrities as a result of the illusions of fame. Joe Gillis, is a laconic character who interacts with Norma in a reciprocally dependent relationship. Without Gillis, Norma feels lifeless, loveless and powerless, she depends on him emotionally, Max, who is entirely devoted to Norma. He accepts reality however chooses to conform to Norma's insane world of delusions and even supports her - "Madame is the greatest star of them all." Norma is repeatedly filmed as a silhouette, which gives a feeling of eeriness as well as depicting perhaps the notion that Norma Desmond's fame is merely a silhouette, a shadow, an illusion. The angles in Sunset Boulevard positioned the audience to see Norma as an alienated character time and again filmed from a lower-angle view, with her standing on the top of a staircase. This alienation of...

...Jian Chen ENG 68 Pro. Hight 7/10/2015 Self-knowledge Many people always want to be a famous movie star, and it is not rare to wonder what it would be like to have the general public know one's name. While this desire for fame is not unusual, it is not always healthy. The film “Sunset Boulevard” describes a faded silent movie star, Norma, who has one great desire to make a return and be famous once again. Although she was a hugely successful actress during the silent film period, she never realizes that times have changed and left her behind. At last, her hunger for fame destroys her. This film uses Norma’s mansion to tell a deep message about how deceptive is people wrapped in gorgeous appearance; the dialogue between she and Joe and her former director showed her egotistical character; the ending suggests that it is very valuable to know oneself. People who live in the past are foolish and ignorant. When Joe went into Norma’s mansion, he was shocked. The mansion was totally different with outside. The outside was deserted and dirty. The tennis court and the swimming pool were neglected, and there were even several disgusting mice in it. However, the inside was distinguishing. It was full of framed photos of herself and memories of her past, and she even had a movie theater. She was completely sucked into a world of herself. This mansion was a symbol of her empty inside which could not be covered by fancy outside. The world is dynamic and changing, and it will not...

...Opportunity Statement 1) Job to be Done: Fix the Stevens Shuttle GPS APP System currently being used. 2) Symptoms of Problems: As of right now, the GPS system takes a while to update itself and students are often confused the exact location of Shuttle. This often causes students to be delay to class or meeting. 3) Current Practice and Supporting Systems The current shuttle system obtains a certain route for the AM and PM shift. Students often check an App on their cell phones and online called Transloc transit visualization. This app is supposed to allow students to view the Stevens Shuttle on real time location. The location of shuttle often freezes on map location and it can take up to 10 minutes to show real time vehicle location. With the rate of location delay, students can’t really tell the shuttle’s current location once the location of vehicle is moved on the map. The Shuttle does not normally wait more than one minute after arrival on each destination. Once everyone is dropped off the shuttle normally takes off if they see no one around. If the App decides to freeze at that moment, students might just have to walk to their destination or wait for another Shuttle which can take up to 15-20 minutes. 4) Summary of Deficiencies with Current Practice and Products Systems a) Students are often confused to how long the shuttle will take to arrive at their pick up location. b) Students often leave campus on foot very late at night due...

...Mary Erbeck Professor Joan Robinson ENG 102: Composition II March 21, 2015 Remember Our Power Feminist Gloria Steinem cofounded and became editor of Ms. Magazine to which she published her article “Wonder Woman.” In her article, Steinem wrote about Wonder Woman’s background and life along with the representation of women in comic books and how these different depictions can influence and inspire predominately younger audiences regardless of gender. Steinem’s style is focused mainly on logos to relay a clear image of Wonder Woman as a character and her impact on readers. She ultimately wanted to inform the reader of the importance of Wonder Woman’s effect on youth in a platform largely directed by the patriarchy and she made a compelling case with a strong, justified logos and clear ethos. Steinem first wrote about her youth as a comic book reader and how comic books were the easily accessible and cheap building blocks to her reading comprehension along with “cereal boxes and ketchup labels” (Steinem). She discussed the psychology behind the need for superheroes in children’s mindsets as a way to better cope with reality and express their individualism but with every superhero being a man young women, like Steinem, had to project their consciousness into male characters suppressing their womanhood to only being a damsel in distress. Steinem wrote that Wonder Woman “rescued” her at the age of seven from the “weak, bosomy, blonde heroines” (Steinem) with her strength, wisdom...

...Written Assinment #2-Theme THEA 1013-X01 Summer 6/01/2011 Sunset Boulevard, a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, performed Sunday February 13, 2011 At the Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA. Theme: The is the desire to be a famous celebrity or to prove that you don't have to go that far to show love, care, and devotion, which is clearly evident in the attention the maniacal Norma gets. I think this is the theme due to my interpretations from watching the play. The play is based around Norma Desmond and Joe Gillis. Norma is a onetime super star of the silent screen era. Norma is living in the past in her dilapidated mansion on the Los Angeles street. When washed Joe a washed up, down on his luck screenwriter accidentally crosses her path, she sees in him an opportunity to make her comeback to the big screen. When Joe accidently meets her he comments, "You used to be in pictures — you used to be big," to which she retorts, "I am big ... it's the pictures that got small!" Norma courts Joe hoping to for a return to pictures, she eventually finds out that this is not to be due to Joes true love and she is being used. It all really goes wrong when Joe leaves his true love Betty because he enjoys the lavish life style Norma allows him. Joe eventually comes to his senses and attempts to leave Norma to go home. He tells Norma that her movie will never be filmed and that her fans have all but abandoned her. Angry and grief-stricken partially because...
