...David Davidson. Washington looks like it could be the first state to legalize marijuana. A general consensus among state and local polls appears to show momentum on the affirmative side of proposition I-502. Public Policy Polling , Komo 4 and the Seattle Times latest polls all show the initiative leading with 53 to 55 percent of those most likely to vote supporting the measures adoption (Martin). This is a very significant Initiative with numerous Local, State and National legal and political ramifications. An examination of I-502 would seem to be in order. Marijuana, or Hemp was legal and it’s production was actively encouraged very early on in the colonies of what would become America. Following the American civil war marijuana was used in numerous medical products that were sold over the counter- with no restrictions whatsoever. The Marijuana tax act of 1937 was the first real law that made marijuana a restricted substance (NPR). The laws have fluctuated somewhat, but for the most part have continued towards less tolerance or zero tolerance models. Democrats removed minimum sentencing laws in 1970. Meanwhile, President Nixon was beginning his all out “War on Drugs” going so far as to call them “public enemy number one”(NPR). Reagan reinitiated mandatory sentencing making them the toughest to date in the mid 1980’s- 100 marijuana plants was now the illegal equivalent of 100 grams of Heroin (NIDA). Nearly one in eight persons in prison in America...

...Understanding the Job MKT/571 April 5, 2013 Understanding the Job No one escapes milk. From birth to infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, milk accompanies every person’s journey through life. Milk is the first thing babies taste outside their mother’s protection and it is a primary ingredient of cheese, a widely favored addition to food served throughout one’s lifetime, or butter, that is just as popular and widely used flavor enhancer. Others use milk for practical applications at home. Everyone knows milk and its use at home and commerce is vast and extensive. However, its most basic utility is to provide nutrition. The following discussions describe the job of milk, specifically cow’s milk, using Clay Christensen’s milkshake analogy and explain the role of marketing in affecting consumer behavior by using strategies to attract target markets. The job of milk Breakfast usually involves food and milk. At the morning table, people use milk as a beverage to complement cereal, an additive to coffee, a simple refreshment to break the evening fast, or a complete source of protein for most. Using Clay Christensen’s model, people hire milk to satisfy hunger upon waking up in the morning, add flavor to other foods or drinks, and provide nutrition to men, women, and children who need calcium, vitamin D, protein, and other essential nutrients. Throughout the day, people hire milk to perform the jobs mentioned without limitation to time or place. Milk is convenient...

...Jacob Jones PSY 290 Milk Ads The ad I chose is one of the most successful Got Milk? Line of advertising, this provides several options for the designers to play with, in conjunction with the layouts and therein, their connotation. Featuring Aerosmith's Steve Tyler, the ad is a picture window with a relatively humorous connotation. The slang copy with unfinished words such as "growing'’ reflect the laid-back attitude exhibited by the star, and is meant to refer to younger audiences who speak the same kind of dialect. Her sitting position also exhibits how the jeans claim to stretch, as she looks comfortable and laid-back in bare feet. Her young yet mature age is also relevant to the audience, being that the magazine is aimed at an audience of women in their late teens and twenties. The physical positioning of Tyler's hands draw the viewer's attention inwards towards the milk mustache and his also famous kisser. The advertisement industry is a clever one, with several tricks to catch and simultaneously fool the eye, all the while achieving the overall previously mentioned effect. This forces the reader to look twice, to discern the sex of the featured model, and also to return to confirm the familiarity of the specific face. Following our current path, we return back down the other side of the leg to the waist of the jeans, where we see the woman's bellybutton is pierced, meaning to emphasize just how low the jeans truly are. Because our eyes naturally read...

...‘Got Milk?’ In 1993, the sales of milk are falling out as Americans switched to other drinks. The California Milk Processor Board launched the ‘Got Milk?’ campaign created by the agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners to promote to all people of all ages to drink more milk. ‘Got Milk?’ is a very influential advertising campaign that has gained over the years and continues to provide awareness for nutritional benefits of milk (Holt). The ads always use familiar faces to promote their products. The public is more likely to spend money to something they believe that they are trustworthy. An example of this ad is from Sports Illustrated magazine September 1999 issue featuring tennis stars and sisters Venus and Serena Williams. Famous for their colorful beaded braids and on-court success, these athletes have paired up off court with a milk mustache to encourage both young and adults especially those who lead active lifestyles to drink milk and get all the health benefits from it. The ethical appeal in this ad is very noticeable from the moment you look at it. “The ‘Got Milk?’ campaign is one of the most recognized and respected advertising campaigns, having earned a place in advertising history,” says milkdelivers.org. The ‘Got Milk?’ campaign ad has increased the production and consumption of milk products in California. A company that is known for its success has been around for years and still going means that their credibility is unquestionable. This may be one of the reasons...

...students in attendance whose parents were on government assistance, students whose parents were in the top 10% of the top 1% financially and everywhere in between. Consider this, if you took a group of randomly selected students from my high school and your goal was to estimate their household income based upon the value of their possessions (phone, clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc...) you'd most likely get it all wrong. This is because it doesn't matter where you come from, how much money you have, or what you look like; you're a customer, you're a consumer. We live in a society today and I went to a high school where people are judged based upon their possessions and what they can acquire. It doesn't matter how you acquired it, as long as you've got it. I think that judging people based off of what they own is a huge mistake. I think it's unfortunate we are constantly purchasing things because of a brand or a logo, but at the same time I don't practice what I'm preaching. It's interesting to me that as I begin to think about it, I don't think any of the nice things I own are bringing me happiness right now, they have only provided some form of instant gratification. If someone asked me what I have to be happy about, I'd provide the cliché answer along the lines of “a loving family, food, and a roof over my head”; that's the truth and none of the above cost a dime. Throughout the article's I read, I believe they reinforced my original opinions on consumerism but also broadened my understanding...

...WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT 3 CASE STUDY: TEXAS HOLD'EM STA-201: PRINCIPLES OF STATISTICS a. The probability that you are dealt pocket aces is 1/221, or 0.00452 to three significant digits. If you studied either Section 4.5 and 4.6 or Section 4.8, verify that probability. 1st Card- 4 cards that are aces out of the 52 cards in the deck; so 4/52 = 0.0769 or slightly less than an 8% chance that the first card is an Ace. 2nd Card- Since first card dealt was an Ace, there are only 3 aces out of 51 card remaining; so 3/51 = 0.0588 or slightly less than a 6% chance that a second ace will be dealt. Therefore to find the probability that these two events will happen, you will need to take the results of both and multiply them together. 0.0769 x 0.0588= 0.0452172 rounded to three significant digits is 0.00452 is the probability of getting dealt pocket aces. So the probability of 1 in 221 is correct. b. Using the result from part (a), obtain the probability that you are dealt "pocket kings." Same probability as part (a). I find that it is unnecessary to repeat the exact same calculations since the result will be the same as part (a.). However, since the problem is quite vague, I decided that calculating the result of pocket kings after pocket aces are drawn, is more fitting. 1st Card Ace- 4 cards that are aces out of the 52 cards in the deck; so 4/52 = 0.0769 or slightly less than an 8% chance that the first card is an Ace. 2nd Card Ace- Since first card dealt was an Ace, there...

...Reality Television Summary This article is about reality television. Experts point out their opinions of what they think about reality TV and discuss why us people spend the time we spend on watching reality television shows such as; ”X-Factor”, ”Britain's got talent” and ”Big Brother”. In Elizabeth Days article she talks about “why reality TV works”. She talks about how everyone thought the end of Big Brother would be the END of reality shows. But our enthusiasm for Simon Cowell's prime-time talent search shows no sign of abating. Cowell has brought reality shows to a whole new level. Experts such as Beverley Skeggs say that reality shows makes us feel like we are a part of something. That people can connect with other people who have the same values and who behave the same way. That makes us viewers want to help and support the person we feel connected to. According to the Brand Driver Research which examines allure of reality television such as the “X-Factor” which is made to appeal to personal relationships and to make the viewers feel more bonded with the contestants and feel a part of an extended social network and part of a community. Nowadays people have started looking for more simple entertainment. The part that attracts viewers to “X-Factor” is the sense of control it gives us. Viewers have a power to vote for their favorite contestants, even though their lives are being shaped by government cutbacks, job losses and social deprivation. the fact that...
