...Spectacular, Spectacular: a brief discussion of two engaging portrayals of the famous Parisian cabaret, the Moulin Rouge Yuxin Xue 10051309 IDIS290 Prof. Catherine Dhavernas 11 November 2014 Although the nature of their stories share some important qualities: romance, underlying motives, and the ever-elusive sensation of love, the two films Moulin Rouge and French Cancan are very different illustrations of the famous French caberet. While Jean Renoir uses facets of performance to emphasize the magnificence of the Moulin Rouge, Baz Luhrmann does the opposite, effectively employing the setting as an enhancer to his tragic love story. The Moulin Rouge is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the cancan, a high-spirited dance originally performed as seductive entertainment by courtesans. Renoir focuses on this in his 1954 French Cancan, and much of the film is devoted to plans for building the Moulin Rouge, the courtesans’ efforts in learning the dance, and their internal feuds and doubts spurred on by the need to be the best of performers. The film also shows clear dedication to the relationships between performer and audience, with the courtesans frequently engaging with their patrons through dance and conversation. The Moulin Rouge is in its early days, and thus portrayed freely and in a glorious spotlight, making for a lighthearted atmosphere unchanging throughout the film. When Nini locks herself in her dressing...

...a movie person. I can never seem to keep a movie on until the end. That’s why I always make it a point to keep them interesting no matter what genre and last October 9’s movie didn’t disappoint. We watched an indie film by Joey De Guzman titled Tumbang Preso. The title seemed really familiar to me so because I was curious, I looked it up. Tumbang Preso was actually a child’s play, no wonder why it was so familiar. I used to play it at my grandma’s place back in Leyte when I was younger too. I actually thought it meant the fall of a prison cell since tumbang means fall and preso was jail. Lo and behold, it meant both. I was impressed with what Mr. De Guzman had going on. So tumbang preso has always been played in one way for kids. A player called an IT, is assigned to guard a can. The rest of the players with their “pamatos” or what they use to hit the can, line up behind a line drawn on the ground. Once settled, the game starts and each kid gets a chance to make the can fall with his or her pamatos. Once the can falls, the owner must retrieve the pamato that made the can fall immediately before he or she is caught. If he is caught, he becomes IT. If the can is hit and falls outside the circle but still stands, the IT has the right to tag the one responsible for the pamato once he or she leaves behind the line. The can may be kicked or knocked down under when it is outside the circle. If the player is not able to retrieve his pamato, the others can save him by hitting...

...Introduction Communication in health care is very important in everyday life in the work place. I will be going over the effectiveness of communication and the major components that go along with it. I will also go over the basic rules and the cultural differences among communications and the how the provider needs or might react. Communication in health care 3. Well for starters communication is a simple process if any and or all information being shared. Some thoughts and feelings in-between others within the means of speaking, writing and or other language. Most communication is effective if done the right way. The components start with context, such as age, region, and race and personal status like male or female. Like the text states if your speaking t o a elementary school child about reading a book or in the text case brushing your teeth. You need to speak as if you were talking to a baby. I know when I talk to my daughter being she is 2 yr. old, about brushing her teeth or picking up her toys and how important it is I just simply tell her it’s clean up time cause we don’t want to lose toys or we won’t have any more. Also body language it’s nonverbal, like standing with your arms crossed and a mean frowned face might mean you’re very upset. Kids learn by these techniques and they use it very wisely. My kids know when I am very upset or having a great day just by how I do things. Interference is a big thing as well if the person or sender is horribly angry his...

...afternoon, my name is Randy Daniels and I am pleased to have the opportunity this afternoon to give my thoughts on a subject that anyone over the age of 30 has an opinion on - that is the younger generation and their associated faults. My view of this so called problem is that there is really no problem at all; it is simply generational bias at work. Every generation thinks the next generation is lacking in some basic knowledge or skill that is vitally important to the continuation of the human race. Often, however, we find out that in time that skill, ability or knowledge will surface or were totally unnecessary in the first place. First, please understand that by “young people” I am not referring to anyone under the age of 17. These teens live in a sub-culture that no one over that age understands. There is good reason why retail shopping malls have imposed a ban on these so called young shoppers unless they are accompanied by an adult. Many of the young people I see today can solve problems and the solution is almost always correct. They just go at it differently. While my generation, my parents generation and those before might work out several possibilities and try to devise the best solution, the young people of today use Google and instantly have the opinion of several experts. Ask yourself this question; if we had had computers in our day wouldn’t we be doing the same thing? In other words, why do long division when you can do new math? Our frustration with...

...Methods - Discussion What’s in the can? One afternoon, while finishing up your shift as the stock manager at Circus Supermarket, the store manager tells you that he desperately needs some help with an inventory problem. In the back of the store, he shows you an unmarked, unopened tin can and explains that the owners of the store are threatening to fire him and all his staff if they cannot keep track of the items that they sell. There are no inventory records to trace the origin of the can, so he asks you, the stock manager, to help him figure out what is inside. Unit 1: Unit 1: Scientific Questions: Inquiry and Methods - Discussion What’s in the can? My First question would be what type of warehouse was it, in what isle of the warehouse was the can found, what other cans surrounded the can if any. Were any of the cans in the isle similar looking to the one in question, if not what objects or labeling, or postings were found on the shelf surrounding the can in question. What is the shape of the can, is it in the shape of a cylinder, round, or square etc. etc. Even though there are no shipping documents of the origin of the can in question I would ask the manager for whatever shipping documents he has to see if something was missed and maybe trace what records there are and maybe see if this can came through with another shipment. I would ask my staff if they might remember anything though minute that might be key to the can in question. In conclusion the...

...Crown Cork & Seal in 1989 Teaching Note I introduce the class by remarking that John Connelly ran Crown Cork & Seal for over 30 years and followed essentially the same strategy for the entire period. The total return to shareholders over the 32-year period was just under 20% compounded. Now that Connelly has stepped down as CEO and given control to William Avery, is it finally time for a change? I begin by asking what are the key strategic issues facing Avery in the summer of 1989. Question 1. What are the key strategic issues that Avery needs to consider? What strategic options are open to him? Here I just want to develop the list and save the analysis of the issues until the end of class. The list of issues should include some of the following: (1) The old Continental Can is apparently for sale either in whole or in part. Should Avery consider bidding on some or all of the business? (2) Metal containers are very slow-growth and plastics is forecast to make significant inroads. Should Avery consider entering plastics? If so, in what segments, and should they build their capability or acquire someone? Who? (3) Expand the product line to a full line of metal containers, not so focused on beverage and aerosol? (4) Diversify into other packaging materials and product categories? (5) Diversify into other less-related businesses? (6) Exit, or sell the business? How should we go about addressing these issues? Presumably we should analyze the appropriateness...

...research used for this paper is the most up to date and relevant to the subject. Mandatory recycling is taking place in some communities around the United States and has its benefits and negative effects on the community as well as the environment. The recycling process for Aluminum cans is complex and is beneficial to the environment, although others believe the opposite. There are certain things to look forward to concerning recycling as there are negative impacts. Recycling Pros & Cons Recycling is something some individuals have in mind while others do not worry about the topic too much, but it does have its benefits as well as its negative outcomes. When we recycle it benefits the environment, because there less demand for raw material, which is extracted from the earth. By recycling we can just melt and process the material we already have and use it again and again. We do not have to use it for the same thing we could use the material for other purposes. When aluminum is recycled as well as plastic you receive a CRV back, which is a tax that is charged to the consumer when he or she purchased the product. Not everybody likes to donate money to the government and by taking their aluminum cans and plastic bottles to a recycling center he or she receives in return their money. Recycling saves space in landfills, allowing them to have more room trash. There are a few negative outcomes from recycling. For example, it takes time to collect the materials and to take them...

...Maria D. Velazquez Introduction to the Sciences Prof. Talley My selected chemical is BPA. So, let’s start by talking what is BPA is a chemical that is added to plastic to harden them while keeping them light. BPA plays the role as an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastics are used in the containers of what we eat and drink. Epoxy resins are used to coat the inside of metal products, such as food cans, bottle tops and water supply lines. Some dental sealants and composites also may contain BPA. Research shows that BPA can seep into food or beverages from containers that are made with BPA. Exposure to BPA is a concern because of possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. BPA is part of our modern world because is everywhere, water bottles, veggies cans, milk gallons, baby bottles, even in medicine bottles. The funny part is that 90% of us has BPA in our bodies. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has said that BPA is safe at the very low levels that occur in some foods. This assessment is based on review of hundreds of studies. But in 2010 the FDA changed their position because with the standardize test they can’t find evident conclusion, then again the problem is that other independent studies show the harms of BPA, and this is how they raise “some concern”. Instead...
