...Justin Bieber Justin Bieber is a Canadian pop singer not just known for his music, but also known for his promises and amazing worldwide records. A young man that is ambitious and will not give up on what he believes in. Who would have known a kid that sang in the streets in front of the Stratford Theater, will be where he is right now.

...The topic that I chose for my reaserch paper is the limitations that should be applied to the parizi. I chose this topic because I wanted to see how much the pree and media have acces to the celrites. I want to fight for the celberite cause I deserve they need more privercy. My topic is the limitations that should be applied to the paparazzi. I wanted to see how much the press and media have access to the celebrities. Celebrities are just people like us, and they need their privacy. Sometimes you’ll see some really personal in magazines that you will say to yourself “how do they know that?”. I chose this because i want to see the paparazzi can push a celebrity and how much they can learn from the scandals and the relationship problems. I limited my research to just what the paparazzi should be limited on and why. I’ll get most of my research from interviews, magazines, and some websites. I’ll try to interview some people from the press and ask them questions like “ how much of these peoples lives do you know about “and “ do you think there should be some limits on how much you can know about these people”. I’ll see if i can get some interviews of people who have already interviewed drama filled celebrities like Brittany Spears and "the always in the fighting mood" Chris Brown. I want to find out how far the paparazzi is limited, if any at all, and see why they should be limited. ...

...Trolling through Twitter hashtags Andrei Coste Context Internet Trolling has been around ever since there were means that users could communicate with each other over web protocols. It’s deeply rooted in the internet culture and is often considered to be a form of bullying (cyberbullying). The website Know Your Meme says that “the contemporary use of the term is alleged to have appeared on the Internet in the late 1980s, but the earliest known mention of the word “troll” on record can be found in a post on the Usenet newsgroup alt.folklore.urban from December 14th, 1992. The term continued to grow popular in the early 1990s through its usage in the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban and by the late 1990s, the alt.folklore.urban newsgroup had such heavy traffic and participation that acts of trolling became frowned upon. Prior to the widespread use of the term “trolling,” similar behaviors have been observed through “griefing,” the act of intentionally causing distress to other players in an online game, since the days of Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs) in the late 1980s and “flaming,” the act of instigating hostility or unpleasant exchanges in online forums, which also emerged through Usenet newsgroup discussions”. They also state that In the late 1980s, Internet users adopted the word “troll” to denote someone who intentionally disrupts online communities. Early trolling was relatively innocuous, taking place inside of small, single-topic Usenet groups. The trolls employed what...

...Jacalan, Tristan A. POLISCI Final Paper Term 1, AY 2013 - 2014 The State of Music Today In my opinion, most of today’s music has no soul. Although opinions may differ, this statement holds true to many people. The music industry is slowly destroying music. It is a sad irony, but it true. Music has always been a lucrative way to make money. Music has always been a business. People paid to hear talented musicians play their music. People pay very large amounts, sometimes too extravagant, sums of money to watch their favorite bands or artists perform at live concerts. People constantly every release of their favorite band or artists. The fact is that, people spend money on music. Where there is money, there is greed. This is an inevitable fact. Everyone wants money and more money. Our lives revolve around money. This is where everything went wrong for the music industry. The business overpowered the music. The major record companies sign ‘hot acts’ or popular musicians to make money off them. It used to be that record companies were vessels in which the musician can use to let people hear their music. The true objective of a record company is to distribute the music of the artist and fairly pay the artist what they are rightly due. Record companies are not supposed to be bigger than the music, they are supposed to be about the music. They are supposed to support the artist and give the artist the means to make their music and then distribute that music to the fans. Popular...

...Carel Bou Maroun Research Paper on Media ENG 203 – Layla Al Kadi Harmouch Introduction: Everywhere you go, you hear people talking about Media. Media is the plural of Medium. But what is a medium? A medium is a mean of mass communication. How can you communicate with a big number of people without what we call a medium, such as newspapers, television, or the Internet for example? Simply, you can’t. Media are elements that help to communicate messages. Any element. In a classroom for example, media are the walls, the board, and even the people inside it. The term mass communications alludes to any type of correspondence that at the same reaches a huge number of people, including yet not constrained to radio, TV, daily papers, magazines, bulletins, movies, record. (Wimmer and Dominick, 1983.) As we all know it, some media are more active and used than others today. For instance, we can think about televisions or mobile phones. But we all know that television is not the first technology used to spread messages. “Media are the result of technology.” (Avery and McCain, 1982.) Day by day, new technologies are emerging and the “old” ones are being forgotten. This is what our modern-day world looks like. It’s constantly changing, moving, evolving… The innovation and models for creating and conveying media substance are always advancing. (Croteau, David, Hoynes, and Milam, 2003.) Media are also socialization agents. You learn...

...Research Memo Date: October 16, 2013 To: Prof. Hastings From: Riki Kotaka Subject: How do music companies address the issue the music sales has been declining? Introduction Music is essential for our lives, however it is difficult for those who get involved with music industry to make a profit. Music industry has been shrinking since 1999 when Napster, pioneering music file share service, was founded [1 McCormick]. In 1990’s when the music sales were at the peak, the total global music revenue was around $30 billion, but the one in 2012 was only $16.5 billion [2 Pfanner]. I did summer internship at Sony Music Entertainment in Tokyo for a month. I’ve participated in some meetings to consider marketing plans for musicians. One main reason of the sales declination is an illegal downloading. Although laws prohibit illegal downloading, there are still massive illegal downloading websites on the Internet. However, global music sales in 2012 increased for the first time since 1999, and the number of songs downloaded illegally was declined to 210 million in comparison to 1.2 billion in 2008. [3 Sherwin] It seems that music companies finally found some efficient ideas to overcome illegal downloaders. Do music companies actually increase their profits? And how did music companies start adjusting the situation? The purpose of the research paper is to figure out the main reasons why music sales finally increased, any differences to market music products and if the situation...

...Introduction It’s as far back as I can remember, when I’d see a product on television that captures my attention, I’ve always had this feeling overcome me. It was at that very moment that new things become a priority for me. I can remember always shouting that I must have that particular item in my life immediately. This is the very same projected ideal and sentiment intended to manifest within the marketing demographics of the newly popular Hoverboard. This technological prototype seems to offer a wide range of impressive but also simplistic hoverboard models. Living in today’s technologically advanced society, creators have been able to provide buyers with our most basic purchasing desire; variety. Some offer consumers the ability to mobilize themselves through the motor-powered two-wheeled model. Others that are bit higher-end offer consumers the ability to levitate off the ground onto the board using a magnetic gravitational technology. Never the less, regardless of the budget or style, the new popular fad has caught on with consumers and is certainly carving out its own place in the market. Features The Hoverboard features are limited but tend to range from Bluetooth capabilities to the synchronicity of GPS mapping and assisted personal transport at speeds between 5 to 8mph. Creators have also found ways to add cosmetic appeal to the devices that directly is reflective in pricing such as LED lighting or AM/FM radio. Some celebrities have gone as far as special ordering...

...towards mastery in the practice of problem solving Assessments MODULE 4 Technology 1. You are the manager of 2 small stores with production functions q = K¼L¼ and a larger store with production function q = 2K¼L¼. You hire capital for $4, labour for $1. When you took over this role, your boss told you that Q = 24 was the profit maximizing output for this multi-plan firm: 24 = q1 + q2 + q3. Now, the price of labour rises to $4. Provide (i) Isoquant/Isocost diagrams, (ii) Total Cost and (iii) Marginal Cost diagrams. Illustrate the substitution effect (point a to b) and output effect (point b to c) on these diagrams. Explain why your firm uses less capital even when the price of labour increases. (September 2010) For the production function q = K2 + L2 (A) Demonstrate that the elasticity of substitution is negative. (B) Provide a labelled diagram showing the q = 100 isoquant (C) Briefly explain what a negative value means for σ 3. 4. A special production function is q = min( 80K, 4L1 + 2L2).

...WRITING REFERENCES Citi: Oil Could Plunge to $20, and This Might Be 'the End of OPEC' "It looks exceedingly unlikely for OPEC to return to its old way of doing business," Morse wrote. Despite global declines in spending that have driven up oil prices in recent weeks, oil production in the U.S. is still rising, wrote Edward Morse, Citigroup's global head of commodity research. Brazil and Russia are pumping oil at record levels, and Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran have been fighting to maintain their market share by cutting prices to Asia. The market is oversupplied, and storage tanks are topping out. A pullback in production isn't likely until the third quarter, Morse said Vets fight to save hero dog who tried to shield owner from house fire "She's doing OK. Considering what Carmen has been through we think she's doing as well as can be expected," Dr. Daniel Carey, a vet at the hospital, told WCPO. "It's not unexpected that she's not ready to come off (the ventilator). It's just that in our best case scenario (we thought) maybe we could've hoped to get her off (Sunday) afternoon," Carey told WCPO The hospital is also providing updates on Carmen through social media, using Facebook to post pictures of the dog resting on a pink blanket and keeping company with a pair of stuffed animals.
