More specifically, the desired Red Box should be cheaper than the Purple Player but slightly more expensive than the Yellow Console because of the more sophisticated performance and better gaming experience. The reason why targeting Yellow Console as the major competitor was that it had almost the largest market share in the segments of younger and lower income groups which were profitable and potentially acquirable. The consumer preference of Red Box was evenly distributed to each age group. We were expecting to gain more market share and customer preference in the segments of 6-21 and 22-35 by competing with Yellow Console while keeping others constant. We aimed to skew...

...In deepest depths of the darkest oceans lurks the brightest organisms on and in the planet. The deeper humankind explores into the ocean the more marine bioluminescent organisms they find. What does marine bioluminescence mean? Why is more of it found deeper in the ocean? What is it? How does it happen? Bioluminescent organisms are organisms that emit a natural light or glow. Marine refers to underwater, whether it be salt or fresh water. The reason humans find more of it the deeper they explore into the ocean is because, they use it to attract mates, scare off predators, and attract prey. It is dark down there and a lot of them need light to survive. So, they make their own. Jellyfish, squid, anglerfish, lanternfish, and several other deep...

...Water-Young-Il Ahn On the day of Friday April 10, 2015, I Angie Ramirez visited the Long Beach Museum of Art and came across a painting that I found breathtaking. The painting happened to be by 80-year-old painter, Young-Il Ahn. Water ALB14, is a painting inspired by the ocean. It is a large piece of art; one that is even taller than me; keeping in mind I am five feet two inches and this painting measures at exactly 72 x 60 inches. It is oil on a canvas and is part of Ahn’s A Memoir of Water Works. This painting is a startling piece of work. In this painting, Ahn uses bold colors and texture to mimic the immensity of the ocean and the constant movement of the waves. He uses mostly different shades of blue, red, green, and yellow. The bright colors he uses are more of a representation of his own creative style. Ahn captures a more private moment using bold colors creating an emotional impact. He used bright colors and elaborately used more of a royal blue than red, yellow, and green. . He also used graceful and sensuous lines that seem to appear as small brushstrokes. The surfaces on this painting are textured beautifully and do happen to show a bit of small harsh lines, almost like dabs giving the artwork a dramatic feel. This work of art is represented as non-representational art because it takes nothing from reality. It is created purely for aesthetic reasons. The intent was to use the elements and principles of art in a way that results in a visually stimulating work. Ahn...

...culminates in feelings of sadness and despair while looking at Difficult Voyage. At the Dallas Museum of Art I saw Difficult Voyage by Kazou Shiraga and the painting really stuck with me. The painting tells a story through time about an accident on a ship. In the painting there are three recreations of the same ship in various states of being. The first ship towards the top is light and floating through the water normally with a relaxed passenger appearing safe and innocent. The second ship is on brighter as it is on fire and the passenger onboard is no longer calm but is working to stop the fire from sinking the ship. The third ship is partially submerged and the passenger is now dead and whiter than a ghost but the ship is covered in red. The painting has a very rough texture to it that alters how the light hits separate parts of the painting causing them to appear differently as the sun passes overhead. In addition the colors used shine daylight from the paintings light source on part of the painting while other parts are left in relative darkness. The painter uses a combination of pale and vivid colors to draw your attention across the canvas from the first thing you see at the top to the last thing you see at the bottom of the painting. The...

...through caves and snorkeling seeing the marine life, like Garibaldi fish. Many types of marine life can be found in the La Jolla shores water. On the floors of this ecosystem you can find crustaceans, mollusks, and invertebrates. While snorkeling you can find animals such as fish, rays, and sharks. Green sea turtles are one reptile that calls La Jolla shores home. The most common land animals are birds. Between La Jolla Shores and La Jolla cove is the San Diego-La Jolla underwater park, a marine life preservation and aquatic recreation zone with multiple components (San Diego, 2013). The park was created by the City of San Diego in 1970 and includes the Ecological Reserve and the Marine Life Refuge. Spanning a 6,000 acre-wide area of ocean floor, tidal shoals, and coastal shoreline, two artificial reefs have been put in place to attract and enhance marine life (San Diego, 2013). The Ecological Reserve has the most special...

...Bioluminescence Relating to the Everyday Processes of Deep-Sea Marine Life: A Review of the Literature Kingshuk Mazumdar Brookfield Central High School Abstract This review of the literature will analyze three publications that discuss the effects of bioluminescence on everyday deep-sea marine life. Bioluminescence is a unique adaptation made by many creatures living in the abyssal depths of the oceans. Originating in primitive bacteria and dinoflagellates, it has, since the origins of life, evolved and spread to other deep-sea organisms. It is incontrovertible as to whether or not this acclimatization has altered life. However, there exists a dispute as to how it has done so. Some scientists believe that bioluminescence exists solely as an offensive trait, used to attract. Others believe that it is employed only in defensive situations. Regardless of recurrent controversy, it is lucidly demonstrated that rather than one or the other bioluminescence refines all aspects of deep-sea marine life. Final Outline I. Introduction A. As one ventures into the depths of the ocean, the expansive spectrum of the transformations of marine life rapidly emerges. At 100 meters…(Schrope, 2007). B. This is where the most startling and extraordinary transformations of evolution occur. C. In an abyssal world of darkness more than 1,000 meters under the sea, bioluminescent creatures have transmogrified to chemically generate lights within their bodies refining all processes of...

...Imagine waking up to the cooling breeze of the ocean, hearing waves gently crash against the rocks, and picture only being just hundreds of feet away. This is how you would wake up every morning in Shelter Cove. Shelter Cove is a secluded coastal paradise in Northern California where relaxation and tranquility reign free. To the West, is the magnificent Pacific Ocean, and to the East, you see the power and grace of the Redwood Forest. I always enjoy being there and experiencing the beauty and free spiritedness through the adventures my family and I would take. No matter what time it is whether it is morning, noon, or evening, there are always experiences to be had. Mornings are always my favorite because the splendor of God’s creations roam free without a worry in the world. Every morning I wake up and run to the giant rectangular window covered with the mist from the sea to observe the beautiful deer consume the dew saturated ivy plants surrounding the house. As you turn your head towards the ocean you notice a collection of seals resting on a formations of rocks camouflaging the grey colored seals. It was always awesome eating breakfast while feeling as if you’re in a nature documentary. Stepping outside on the decks...

...In “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, there are many instances of imagery. For example when Connell describes the ocean as “blood-warm.” it gives the reader the idea that something spooky or strange is about to happen. The connection between blood and red is extremely obvious, but it’s useful to think about how many other things are colored red and also how Connell uses this color to suggest violence and fear. Our first impression of red is the face of Zaroff, whose “smile showed red lips and pointed teeth.” A few lines later, he shows his “curious red-lipped smile,” so the zaroff sounds a bit like a vampire. The dining experience that Zaroff and Rainsford share also reads like a blood festival. They enjoy a traditional soup called...

...Huihuhu ihnjikn ujiniu nöipn The moon bows, and we watch it set, thinking it’s for us that it does its dance. But we’re fools, lost in the romance, of a tide that widens with each breath. I didn’t row out, to find the ocean floor, but that’s where I find myself now, in the undertow. I’ve prayed once, and I pray again. I ask G-d to help and not condemn. And I don’t mask myself in humbleness; in arrogance I bend my knees, betting that G-d only values honesty. I didn’t start out, to find the ocean floor, but that’s where I am now, in the undertow. You came to me years ago, a Phoenix without fire, bathed in desire, all I could admire. I’ve loved each part of you, for moments that felt like ours. I kissed and caressed your body on a bed of red and white flowers. I didn’t swim out, of your ocean’s floor, it’s where I felt, most at home. I’ve cherished every laugh, and every smile, with my mind’s eye, I’ve extended every moment into a while. But now I feel the floor drop beneath, feel the need to swim just to breathe, feel you no longer next to me, but a fleeting memory. I didn’t row out, to find the ocean floor. You were never the mermaid I looked for. You were skin and flesh and the smell of love, that I carried beneath my tongue, while hoping G-d would bless us from...

...types. stable cratons (green): cratons are stable and relatively cold, with 'normal' thermal gradients of ~20 K/km. magmatic arcs (red-orange): magmatic arcs are sites where heat is advected to shallow levels, producing low P/T metamorphism. crustal extension (orange): crustal extension via normal faulting leads to advection of heat to shallow levels, followed by cooling to a normal thermal gradient. oceanic extension--mid-ocean ridges (red-orange): convection carries heat to very shallow levels, where 7-km thick oceanic crust forms; hydrothermal circulation produces low P/T metamorphism. ophiolite soles (red): are thrust zones beneath very hot oceanic lithosphere emplaced onto passive continental margins; in contrast to other low P/T metamorphism, inverted metamorphic gradients form because the emplacement rate is rapid compared to the rate at which the extreme heat is conducted away. subduction zones (blue): rapid subduction advects cold material into the mantle, producing high P/T metamorphism. continent-continent collisions: rapid crustal thickening produces high temperatures at moderate temperatures, followed by cooling ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism: small pieces of continental material subducted to as much as 200 km are eventually regurgitated, leading to ultrahigh P/T metamorphism Most of the oceans have a common structure, created by common physical phenomena, mainly from...

...Place By The Ocean Kyle L. McGuire English 121 Instructor Lori Hawks June 29, 2013 Place By The Ocean It is 30 minutes before sunrise, the moon is gleaming in the distance in which appears to be tumbling into the silhouette of jagged mountain tops. Sitting here in the unruffled sand, stretching his legs out for a morning jog; he takes a moment and thinks to himself “There is no place I rather be.” The salt in the air makes his tongue tingle, the constant breeze whistles by his ears and the sound of the roaring waves walloping onto the beach. Running along the everlasting beach, his feet are stripped of shoes; every stride his feet are captivated by the refined sand. While gazing at the horizon, vivid sunlight peeks through the mountain tops. While running down the beach, his eyes begin to squint from the intense rays of light exhibited from the sun. He reaches for the sunglasses on top of his head to shield his eyes as he continues gallop down the beach. As the run comes to an end, he is saturated in sweat and likely to dive right into clear cerulean Blue Ocean. He flings his sunglasses into the sand and sprints into the water like a lifeguard saving child, he is immediately refreshed by the warm ocean water. The ambient temperature begins to rise outside, the sand is no longer tranquil and soothing to his feet, it begins to feel like being barefoot too close to a campfire. People of all ages begin to lay out on the beach soaking in the abundant sunshine. Surfers...

...The Beautiful Ocean The above-sea world has many wonderful and beautiful sights. As air-breathing, land dwellers, we can look up during the day and see the enormous bright blue sky with puffs of clouds that look like cotton candy, stars that flicker like little candles at night, and strong, tall oaks that look like skyscrapers. Being above water has many beautiful sights to offer but just where those beauties end another world with its own beauties begins. Scuba diving at a spot near my uncle’s house in Key West takes me to a whole new world. My uncle’s small beach house in Key West is one of my favorite places to visit. His beach house is a sea weed green color, and he hangs old bobbers and fishing poles, decomposing nets, and old brittle fish bones from its green walls. The water in Key West is a vivid turquoise blue that looks like a boat full of paint has spilled in it, and the beaches are as white as powdered sugar. My favorite spot to scuba dive is about a ten-minute boat ride off the coast of Key West. My uncle’s boat takes us out into the deep blue water. It is an old and noisy fishing boat that has traveled around the Florida Keys many times. Hearing the roar of its tired engine, smelling the salt water, and feeling the mist hitting my face from the splashing waves gets me ready to dive in the bright blue abyss. Getting scuba gear on takes a few minutes of tightening many straps and pulling zippers, but when finished, it feels like an extra layer of skin...

...The Ocean is the most Mysterious places on this earth. More than half of the ocean’s on this earth have not been searched. The Ocean is very dangerous with its massive waves and storms and depth. Authors have used the ocean for thousands of years to demonstrate destruction. This symbolism has gone back to Sophocles tragedy “Oedipus Rex”. A more modern example is Charles Dickens Tale of two cities where Dickens uses the destruction of the ocean to symbolize the crowds. In Tale of two cities there are many different crowds that form into mobs. These mobs are very dangerous and destructive throughout the book and Dickens portrays that to use through the ocean. Crowds are destructive just like the sea because they are uncontrollable but judt...

...The Effect of Light Intensity on the Behavior of Baby Red-Eared Slider Turtles Introduction: Red-eared sliders live in a variety of areas, rather mud bottoms, but also live on logs, in slow-moving water, and other suitable basking areas. (McKinney, Schoch, Yonavjak, 2013) In these habitats, the lighting is different for each one. Lighting is a key factor to baby red-eared slider turtles; they need sunlight to maintain proper bone growth and vitamin synthesis. (Lake, 2009) Red-eared sliders should bask in direct sunlight (not through glass) for some time between 90-95 degrees Fahrenheit. Incandescent lighting is a good source of light when basking if direct sunlight is not available. (Petco, 2012) Their basking temperature should be between...
