...Name of Speaker: Duane Anderson Title of Lecture: "What are We Working on?" Date of Lecture: January 5, 2015 Introduction Duane Anderson watched his first "adult" movie called "Silver Streak" at age 9 when he hitched a ride on the bus with a friend. That was when he knew he would like to work in the film business. He started filming things at around 10-11 years and slowly built more films as he got older. He was recently hired at Utah Valley University (UVU) as part of the cinematography department. The other parts of the department seem to have taken to him since he taught last semester. He has worked as a director and producer and his most recent work or film is called "Superpowerless". It's about a superhero losing his powers after turning 40 and having to readjust to life. I can't wait to see this upcoming film. Summary There are many people who made a name for themselves and became famous because of side projects they did at their house or studio. One of them was Walt Disney. Walt Disney created the character Mickey Mouse in his garage with some friends of his. The reason they did it at his garage instead of at the studio was because of the contract Walt was on. His bosses would have owned this magnificent character instead of Walt. Most people don't know this but Walt created a character before Mickey called Oswald. Oswald was similar to Mickey except he had more of a rabbit look. Oswald was a hit, Universal Studios made loads of money from him because they owned the...

...deceased Sir Rowland de Bois, describes his unfortunate state of affairs to Adam, Sir Rowland’s loyal former servant. Upon his father’s death, Orlando was bequeathed a mere 1,000crowns, a paltry sum for a young man of his social background. His only hope for advancement is if his brother, Oliver, honors their father’s wish and provides him with a decent education. Oliver, as the eldest son, inherited virtually everything in his father’s estate, yet he not only neglects this charge but actively disobeys it. Although he arranges for his other brother, Jaques, to attend school, Oliver refuses to allow Orlando any education whatsoever, leaving the young man to lament that his upbringing is little different from the treatment of a piece of livestock. Orlando has long borne this ill treatment, but he admits to Adam that he feels rising within himself a great resentment against his servile condition and vows that he will no longer endure it. Oliver enters, and the hostility between the brothers soon boils over into violence. Orlando claims that the system that allows the eldest son to inherit the bulk of a father’s estate does not reduce the ancestral blood in the other sons. Oliver, offended by his brother’s insolence, assails Orlando, while Orlando seizes Oliver by the throat. Adam tries to intervene, seeking peace in the name of their father, but the brothers do not heed him. Orlando, undoubtedly the stronger of the two, refuses to unhand his brother until Oliver promises to treat...

...palette has a distinct shield shape and appears to be decorated on both sides. I could infer that this shield shape is to demonstrate strength of a real shield; it also holds significance with both sides crafted and carved. With no visible cracking along the edges, the palette holds its longevity. The palette seems to have been distinguished from one piece of stone with a blue-green hue. Knowing the funerary practices of the Egyptians and its solidarity to the arts, the Narmer Palette could be from Narmer’s funeral grounds; this would explain its preservation. Starting on the front side of the Narmer Palette, with the largest image: the viewer’s attention goes straight to the most prevalent form. He stands as the largest figure with a beard. This beard is carved distinctly and different than that of the man in his clasp; the beard may be honorary and hold status. This belief is...

...Lower East Side Memories : A Jewish Place in America By HASIA R. DINER The Lower East Side and American Jewish Memory I'm Jewish because love my family matzoh ball soup. I'm Jewish because my fathers mothers uncles grandmothers said "Jewish," all the way back to Vitebsk & Kaminetz-Podolska via Lvov. Jewish because reading Dostoyevsky at 13 I write poems at restaurant tables Lower East Side, perfect delicatessen intellectual. —Allen Ginsberg, "Yiddishe Kopf" The poet Allen Ginsberg, born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, returned in his later years to a narrative style of expression, shifting gears from the anger and fire of his early career. In this poem from 1991 he also touched down again, after a long hiatus spent exploring Buddhism and Eastern philosophy, upon some Jewish themes, as a way of remembering the world of his youth. He described that world in one poem, "Yiddishe Kopf," literally, a Jewish head, but more broadly, a highly distinctive Jewish way of thinking, based on insight, cleverness, and finesse. That world for him stood upon two zones of remembrance. The world of eastern Europe, of Vitebsk, Lvov, and Kamenets-Podolski gave him one anchor for his Jewishness. Thai space of memory gave him a focus for continuity and inherited identity, tied down by the weight of the past, by family in particular. The other, the Lower East Side, nurtured and...

We went round the book shelves for like 10 minutes trying to catch people’s attention and ended up picking a bunch of journals. I was the observer so was not much involved in the action. I carefully followed the disrupter giving a distance of about 10 feet behaving not to know what was going on. While following the disrupter I was looking at the shelves for some books but basing my attention on what the disrupter was doing. He moved to and fro from one shelf to another for about 15 minutes. I could see people watching him trying to figure out what he was doing. He then grabbed 3 journals from the shelf, moving all the way towards the end of the library hall where many students were sitting. He moved step by step as if he was counting his steps. I was behind the shelf standing all the way to his left. He moved to the back then to the center, dropped the journals on the floor. The journals he dropped on the floor generated a sound that distracted many students to seeing what was going on especially some two guys who were sitting next to the window behind him. He behaved he didn’t notice what was going on then went on to take down his bag pack, sat on the floor, pulled out his smartphone and headphones, plugged the headphones to the smartphone and was listening to music while reading the journals up-side-down.

... Introduction Bias is the inclination on a particular side without considering the possibility of other alternatives. It results when one has already formed a judgement in his or her mind. People can be biased towards an individual, religion, and race or some actions done by people. These actions may be considered immoral by the society and hence the unfair judgement of one's character even without listening to the view of all sides. Media is a very important tool in the society. It informs people on what is going on. Many people take media especially major media companies to give the absolute truth. The media are also expected to be impartial. However, many cases of media biases have been noted. Media bias can be in some forms. Journalists and news producers may choose to present a particular story leaving out other stories that are more important. Bias may also result when a reporter takes sides and does not consider what the other sides has to say. This paper aims at comparing two articles and show any form of media bias that may exist in reporting the same story. October 19, 2014, The Guardian reported on Ched Evans rape case. The author, Barbara Ellen was very critical of Evans and not a single time did she consider Evans’s side of the story. Evans had been involved in a sexual activity with a 19-year-old lady. The lady later claimed that Evans had raped her. Evans stood by his words that he did...

...of West Side Story. You should provide clear examples from the choreographed sections of West Side Story to support your discussion. In 1932 Jerry accompanied his sister into New York and saw her onstage at the Dance Center, Robbins was later invited to join the company after an audition arranged by his sister. The dance centre group comprised of dancers with widely varied backgrounds and individual styles ran by Senia Gluck Sandor and his wife. They were fusing ballet and modern dance in a series of highly theatrical, stylised productions. Attempted to dramatise the political, social and economic struggles of the day. Sandor advised Robbins to study ballet again in which he took the advice and began classes with Ella Daganova. This ballet influence upon Robbins is shown throughout West Side Story remarkably within the Dance at the Gym, the Promenade section. Within the promenade relevé is used precisely in and out of chassés, as well as this, similar to classical ballet, movements are repeated two or three times as Robbins has done with the motif of chassés into the clicking of their fingers followed by the circular knee movement. Furthermore, the way in which Robbins uses non-balletic styled movement such as the knee circles and clicks within the ballet section demonstrates specifically Robbins’ use of Sandor’s training through his use of fussing various styles, jazz and ballet in choreographing West Side Story. Having first taken classes informally from his sister,...

...many teens are spending way too much time texting and other mindless activities on their cell phones when they should be doing other things like sleep and work. The editorial uses many points to support its claim of cell phones getting teens addicted and causing them to get lower performance in school and everyday life. The first point the editorial brings up to support its claim is that a survey showed that on average 1742 text messages are sent and received each month by everyday teens. this shows that most teens are becoming obsessive about texting and that it is becoming a big problem that has to be managed or fixed soon, or it will just get worse.another reason this is bad is that the editorial says that texting like this takes away from other important activities like socializing in person, doing school work, and sleeping. the author uses this point because he wants to show the...

...within Fifth Business Fifth Business is a novel, based in archetypes, about character development, specifically developing all sides of one’s person and not leaving any side “raw”. The main character, Dunny, is subject to this experience of developing largely due to an incident where Dunny steals an egg from his mother, and she, in turn, attacks him viciously (as all friendly mothers do) and beats him. This experience is pivotal in the story because it helps open up Dunny to the notion that people have more than 1 side to them, spawns Dunny’s distrust and lack of understanding of women, and makes Dunny a more “raw” and underdeveloped character which originates Dunny’s need for development....
