...many years, but it some cases is adheres to these traditions. It is vital to be able to see the overall message in a pop culture text in order to understand its implications. Some texts hold messages that were not intended to be there in the first place. There will forever be controversy when it comes to pop culture, especially when it comes to television shows, as the average Canadian watches 30 hours of T.V a week. (Ryan, 2013) When being constantly exposed to these messages it is important to know what information you are being fed. Some shows are more complex than others, and consist of mixed messages when looking at them from a feminist standpoint. One example of this would be The Mindy Project, a sitcom that first aired in 2012, and has since gained an average of $2.34 million viewers per episode, (IMDb, 2012) The Mindy Project is packed full of messages that can be depicted from a feminist standpoint, but are often blurred behind the hilarity it is known for. To give a brief synopsis of the show, Mindy Lahiri, played by Mindy Kaling, also the director of the show is the main character and also the narrator.

...In my life, I have many heroes, but one that just resonates in my mind is Mindy Lahiri from the show, The Mindy Project". Quick background, Mindy is obstetrician and gynecologist in New York City, has many complicated romances, and is extremely confident about herself and her abilities as a doctor. She can be brutally honest and has hilarious one-liners. Mindy isn't the ideal role model because she has a lot of flaws; including, being erratic, insulting, and can be brutally honest when it isn't necessarily appropriate. Mindy is my role model because she is somewhat everything I want to be in life. She is determined without circumventing the struggles that appear in her life. Every situation she is put through, she handles it with class and...

...First of all, females in rom-coms come from similar backgrounds. When society thinks of rom-coms, they regularly come to a similar thought. For example, society consistently thinks about females in rom-coms working as a journalist. A recent article published by Mindy Kaling, explains how movies stereotype females. Mindy Kaling says, “If you think about the backstory of a typical mother character in a romantic comedy, you realize this: when “Mom” was an adolescent, the very week she started to menstruate she was impregnated with a baby who would grow up to be the movie’s likable brown-haired leading man” (Kaling). Mindy has a compelling argument about the way female characters are displayed in rom-coms. The movie industry creates females...

Trudy, Allison, and Mindy weren’t sure they believed this. It was a joke. It had to be. Shelly, Miss Devasquez and Miss Hartick were all ready for another round of enforced nudity. The boys were mumbling and averting their eyes as they started stripping off their clothes. They were already blushing, and it was just starting. They saw the girls’ eyes get big with anticipation. David asked, “How far do we have to go?” “You’re going to take it all off, but for now you can stop at your underwear. Everything else, take it off.” Trudy and Allison couldn’t believe they were about to see their...

...Health services Hi Keavaun, I have to agree with Sunane, communication is important for everything and very important in business. Mindy doesn't not have the experience that is necessary, she lacks the leadership skills to produce results. Mindy did not have the correct ideas to lead the Seaside convalescent care center,she lacked the necessary leadership skills to garner successful outcomes. Particularly in the negotiation and collation building skills, she did not get her message across to the others so that they can support her. With her role as a nurse administrator she is to supervise, develop , monitor and maintain the correct standards of care for the nursing home as a whole. This is something that she is not capable of handling which in turn she she handed over to Ann. Mindys lack of experience and lead ship skills is what renders her unsuccessful. Mindy displays cognitive dysfunction of the organization she is not able to maintain organizational characteristics although she did try to introduce new Strategies and as a result it proved to be inconsistent. Mindy had good ideas and wanted to succeed however she did not have the support of her peers.

...What Does Home Really Mean? According to Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, “there is no place like home,” but what does home mean? According to Oxford mini Dictionary and Thesaurus, home is “the place where you live.” However, to me, home is anywhere one feels the most comfortable, and is surrounded by the people he or she loves. Susan Clayton, Tony Chapman, and Mindy Koeing have different views of what home means to them; however, Mindy Koenig’s view is the closest to mine. Your home can say a lot about you as a person. Clayton says, “for many people their home is part of their self-definition, which is why we do things like decorate our houses and take care of our lawns” (“The Psychology of Home: Why Where You Live Means so Much”). It is not always noticeable, but we do compare what people’s houses look like to the kind of person he or she is. Clayton also mentioned, “We may use our own homes to distinguish ourselves” (“The Psychology of Home: Why Where You Live Means so Much”). This shows how much pride people put into their home and what it really means to them. Commonly most people associate their home with their happy place, therefore they want their house to be as presentable as possible....

...The book that was never a blog, also known as “Is Everyone Hanging out Without me? (And Other Concerns).” This is Mindy Kaling’s second of, soon to be, four books. Retelling her life from childhood to writing and acting on her own show, Kaling keeps the reader entertained with stories you could only expect to hear from a close friend. Kaling’s book is very neatly organized. She wrote her book exactly how I would write a biography. There are large headings, chapters within the headings, and occasionally there will be sub-headings within the headings. Like a drawer within a drawer within a drawer, organized to perfection. The biography starts in Massachusetts where her chubby childhood was hosted. The 39 out of 219 pages is all Kaling telling stories of her being mocked and embarrassed from first grade to ninth grade. Whilst all the stories are humorous and occasionally relatable, it begins to get repetitive and I began wondering when the childhood memories were going to end....

Williams practiced stand-up in his spare time and he soon realized, after taking advice from a friend, that comedy rather than acting was his best way forward. He quickly left Juilliard for Los Angeles and ended up working his act on the West Coast comedy circuit. In 1977, Williams won a spot on 'The Richard Pryor Show he soon became well known for his comedy in many shows he played in. He finally got his own show called Murk & Mindy which started in 1978 and ran for 4 seasons it was by Garry Marshall, creator of the massively popular 'Happy Days' TV programee, he was planning an 'out-there' episode where the Fonz would be abducted by aliens. At the auditions, Marshall asked Williams to sit down but he instead sat on his head and was instantly hired. Playing Mork from the planet Ork, Robin was a sensation so much so that a new show was created for him – 'Mork And Mindy'. The show was a hit, earning Williams his first Golden Globe win in 1979 - Mork's greeting, 'Nanu-nanu', rapidly became a worldwide...

As soon as it was 1995, there was as many African Americans diagnosed with AIDS as whites (Levenson, 2004, p. 144). That’s when the CARE Act decide to take action. It was named for the teenage hemophiliac from Indiana (Levenson, 2004, p. 132). More than 34,000 Americans were diagnosed with AIDS in 1989; 42,000 in 1990, and 44,000 in 1991. Looking at these percentages, this type on of disease shouldn’t be ignored. And the numbers are still building up.

...Sexuality at Different Life Stages Kimberly Hamsher PSY/265 April 13, 2014 Kimberly Hima Sexuality at Different Life Stages In the case of Ashley, I would assume her therapist would point out all the options she has before deciding if she wants to pursue a sexual relationship with her boyfriend. She should explain the variety of emotions an adolescent girl might feel when a boy or young man shows an interest in her. She should let her know that the word love can sometimes be displaced and confused with feelings such as lust, puppy love or even infatuation. She should let her know that for her young age, those are normal feelings and though they shouldn’t be taken lightly, they should also not be taken advantage of by someone who is older, a bit more mature and experienced. She should point out that while her boyfriend might be very genuine in his feelings for her, she should never feel pressured to have sex. As hard as it may be for him, her boyfriend should be patient and understanding of her feelings. If he is not, then maybe his intentions are not focused on her wishes, but rather what she can give him. She should let her know that the possible reasons her parents’ attitude towards her boyfriend are not just because of his age, it’s because with age comes experience. Her mother might assume he’ll take advantage of her and quite frankly, if he’s pressuring you, then he is. She should let her know that as parents’ we always want what’s best for our children. It’s our...

...Cash Flow Statements Mindy Blankemeyer XACC/291 March 1, 2015 Tameka Johnson Cash Flow Statements Cash flow statements, which are also referred to as statement of cash flow, are a part of a company’s essential worksheets which demonstrate how a company has performed over a specific amount of time. Companies are required to prepare a cash flow statement because it will list all of the information the owners and investors will need to make important decisions about the company. The statement will provide the incoming cash, the outgoing cash, and the amount of cash on hand for expansion and growth. A cash flow statement is divided into three sections. Cash flow from operations, financing and investing. Within these three sections of a cash flow statement, the cash from operations and financing will show how and where the company is receiving its money from, and the investing section will show where the company spends its money. In a closer look at these three sections, under the operations column, listed will be the income the company has earned from sale of goods, or monies received from services offered. Also in this section will be some expenses such as insurance and accounts payable. Under the investment section of a cash flow statement will be a column which is dedicated to the investments the company is making. If the company purchases or sells property, buildings, or new equipment, it will be listed in this section. In the final financing section of a cash...

...see-through 30 November 2011 Researchers in Japan have made a crab shell transparent. Then, using knowledge gained from this activity, they created a transparent nanocomposite sheet, incorporating powdered chitin from crab shells. The nanocomposite could have applications in devices that need a high light transmittance, such as flat panel displays. Scientists have previously used cellulose from plants and chitin to strengthen materials, giving biologically-inspired nanocomposites. If natural nanofibres are dispersed widely enough in a transparent polymer matrix, they can strengthen the polymer and the resulting nanocomposite material will retain its transparency. Work on optically transparent polymers containing cellulose nanofibres shows they have a low axial thermal expansion coefficient, meaning their size does not vary with temperature, making them ideal for use in flexible flat panel displays and solar cells. Muhammad Iftekhar Shams and co-workers from Kyoto University took a whole crab and treated it with hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and ethanol to remove the minerals, proteins, fats and pigments, respectively. This gave a chitin-only crab shell, which they immersed in an acrylic resin monomer. Following polymerisation, they obtained an entirely transparent crab shell. The shell retained its shape and detail, right down to the creature's eyes. Preparing the transparent crab shell: (a) original shell, (b) shell after removal of matrix substances and (c) transparent...
