...After looking at various aspects of each review—paying attention to sentence style, readability score, and literary devices—we will be able to see differences between the two reviews.

Each is an online review written for game review websites; one of them was published by IGN Entertainment and written by Greg Miller, and the other published by GamesRadar+ and written by...

...Props Analysis and Procedural Essay The following items were used during the making of this Sweded Video production: • A Chainsaw (not turned on because it could possible injure someone) • A piece of liver • Red bell pepper • Red paint • A meat tenderizer(to represent an axe) • Black North Face jackets (all the devils needed to wear black) • Black boots • Ipod(to record the production) • Private property sign • An orange tube that makes a howling or wind like sound(forgot the name) Most of these items I already had, but some of them like the bell pepper, paint, and liver I did not have so I bought it from a store. Some of the other members in the group needed to help me with the ipod, private property sign, and a chainsaw. All of these items have a meaning to this video because they all play an important role in symbolizing or portraying the story The Devils and Tom Walker. The ipod is the most important item because its filming the entire production of the Sweded Video. Without the Ipod, there wouldn’t be a film to watch. The chainsaw is with Tom Walker as he goes through the woods and begins to cut down the trees. While walking he stumbles upon a sign that is planted deep in the ground of the woods. He picks the sign up and throws it away as if the words “private property” meant absolutely nothing to him. The private property sign is present in this film because it adds more of a curiousness toward the viewer since Tom did not care what that sign said....

...Critical Incident Joseph J. Sabia Jr. Dr. Alice McDonnell Managerial Decision Making in HAS-537 There are always going to be unforeseen happenings that occur whether it is in your personal or professional life and one must always be prepared to handle these issues head on. Health care administrators are always faced with obstacles that they need to overcome within the facility they work in. I chose to interview Michael Semian, from the Gino Merli Center in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Michael is the Commandant and Head Administrator. Background The Gino Merli center is dedicated to providing their patients with compassionate and high quality care to Veterans of Pennsylvania. The home is a State run VA nursing home open to all honorably discharged Veterans and their spouses. All applicants must be a bona fide resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The can move from out of state to be eligible as well. The Gino Merli Center is the first VA nursing home in NEPA. It’s located on the same site where the old State Hospital once was. Typically the Commandant of a VA nursing home is a prior Military but it’s not a requirement. Michael is the first Non-Veteran to serve as Commandant but this hasn’t hindered him in anyway and he has the respect and admiration of all residents and staff. The Center provides 196 beds, including 156 for full nursing care and 40 for dementia. The major difference in the types of residency is the level of care: the Personal Care Unit provides...

...1. For this media analysis assignment, I have chosen to analyze the Trayvon Martin case. I decided to write about this case because the incident only occurred two years ago, which means the problem still exists today. I feel this case is important to call attention to because it highlights the violation of political and civil rights of the people and it emphasizes the larger issues that the United States are facing. This news story did not only circulate in the United States. It reached different parts of the world with the news going viral through the internet, social media, television channels, and international newspaper headlines. Trayvon Martin, a 17-year old African American teenager, was walking back home from a relative’s place when he was fatally shot by George Zimmerman. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch coordinator, was suspicious of the teen, so he followed Martin and disregarded the police’s orders of not going after him. Although Martin was not armed, Zimmerman claimed that the shot was fired as a result of self-defense. Many people, both nationally and globally, were caught up with following Trayvon Martin’s story. At the same time, protests were growing rapidly across the nation. This case helped raise questions about the media coverage and how media can be misleading, biased, and effective. Also, the case aided in the examination of the state’s self-defense laws and magnified the issue of racism. I am going to stress how messages of the media are framed and try...

...------------------------------------------------- Broiler From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about a type of chicken. For other uses, see Broiler (disambiguation). Broiler | | Distribution | World-wide | Use | meat | Traits | Skin color | Yellow | Classification | Notes | Hybrid varieties, not a breed | Chicken Gallus gallus domesticus | Broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), or broilers, are a gallinaceous domesticated fowl, bred and raised specifically for meatproduction.[1] They are a hybrid of the egg-laying chicken, both being a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Typical broilers have white feathers and yellowish skin. Most commercial broilers reach slaughter-weight at between five to seven weeks of age, although slower growing breeds reach slaughter-weight at approximately 14 weeks of age. Because the meat broilers are this young at slaughter, their behaviour and physiology are that of an immature bird. Due to artificial selection for rapid early growth and the husbandry used to sustain this, broilers are susceptible to several welfare concerns, particularly skeletal malformation and dysfunction, skin and eye lesions, and congestive heart conditions. The breeding stock (broiler-breeders) grow to maturity and beyond but also have welfare issues related to frustration of a high feeding motivation and beak trimming. Broilers are usually grown as mixed-sex flocks in large sheds under intensive conditions, but...

...Inter-Cultural Translatability Of Ring Ashimova Aitolkyn East Asian Cinema, Fall 2015 December 18, 2015 Introduction The effect of 1998's Japanese film Ring can be compared to a big tsunami wave that not only became highest grossing horror film in the country, but also shuddered Taiwanese, Korean, Hong Kong film markets. Following years many publications included it to the numerous symbolic "top 10 most scary films" lists. And when Steven Spielberg bought the rights to make the Hollywood remake it was seen as official evidence that Japanese horror cinema became new trendsetter in this genre and gained cult status in the West. Nowadays with numerous follow-ups within the Ring franchise and triggered a trend of Western remakes "Ring" is viewed as exemplary illustrative Asian horror movie. I will argue that the wide success of the movie is caused not by its deep cultural ties with Japanese cinema and Japanese horror movies in particular, but because on the contrary "Ring" has little to do with its traditional background. Hideo Nakata deliberately cut off all the cultural traces in order to make cinematic language of the movie universal and cosmopolitan thus giving a way for its intercultural translation and to be easily replicated. In order to do it first I will analyze different Japanese merchandizing strategies and study the film as a media product. Second, I will briefly overlook history and main stylistic traits of Japanese horror movie genre. In my general overlook...

...Lisa Lyons Professor Amy Green Writing about Literature COM1102 10 October 2015 "A ROSE FOR EMILY" Visual vs. Reading William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" is a short gothic horror story that has also been adapted into a short film. Both story and film have been largely debated, with a plethora of opinions. Faulkner’s lack of normal chronology and situation-triggered memories generates a story that has many interpretations among its readers, but surprises everyone at the end. When asked about the title of his story, Faulkner said," [The title] was an allegorical title; the meaning was, here was a woman who had had a tragedy, an irrevocable tragedy and nothing could be done about it, and I pitied her and this was a salute . . . to a woman you would hand a rose." (Faulkner, William 1966 ;) He gave a humble explanation, for such a complex story. The film portrays the story straight forward, and leaves nothing left to the imagination. Death and transformation are the main theme in Faulkner’s short story, being a sign of the crumbling of the Old South after their military defeat by the North, as Emily’s suggested necrophilia echoes the desire to hang on to the past and its traditions. Through flashbacks and foreshadowing, Faulkner addresses the struggle of traditional versus progress in the city of Jefferson. The south being a region bound by history and tradition, class and social influence, Emily represents, to...

...Google: “Don’t Be Evil” The World’s Most Admired Company Google: “Don’t Be Evil” The World’s Most Admired Company Admiration is defined by the Webster’s Dictionary as “a feeling of great respect and approval”. With this definition we can begin to look for the company’s that command respect amongst the public, while also gaining the collective approval of their employees. Outside of a fancy definition, we feel that to truly differentiate the most admirable companies from the run-of-the-mill companies as in-depth analysis must be done. In our analysis we focus on four major categories: the company’s history, how did this company rise to the current level of prominence?, product, why is the company held in such esteem by the public?, company culture, how does culture promote employee morale and approval? and lastly, current and future status, where is the company now and how will it remain relevant in the future? History/Foundation Sergey Brin and Larry Page adopted the name Google in 1997. Sergey and Larry developed “a formula to rank the order of random search results by relevancy.” (McLellan, 2014) By 1998 the two had gone to the World Wide Web Conference with their idea of the Google search engine. It wasn’t until 1999 that they had raised about 30 million dollars in funding and later launched the site. In 2001 Eric Schmidt was appointed as Google’s CEO. Google launched advertising services in 2001 and 2002. In 2001 they launched AdWords; which is a search...

The project is focused in estimating the position of the phone inside a building where the GPS signal is bad or unavailable. The approach is sensor-fusion: by using data from the device’s different sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope and wireless adapter, the position is determined. The results show that the technique is promising for future handheld indoor navigation systems that can be used in malls, museums, large office buildings, hospitals, etc. Keywords: Sensor fusion, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, INS, GPS, Wi-Fi, indoor navigation, smartphone, Android...

...Dorner vs. LAPD (If you have trouble accessing site, the document is viewable at the end of the manifesto) From: Christopher Jordan Dorner /7648 To: America Subj: Last resort Regarding CF# 07-004281 I know most of you who personally know me are in disbelief to hear from media reports that I am suspected of committing such horrendous murders and have taken drastic and shocking actions in the last couple of days. You are saying to yourself that this is completely out of character of the man you knew who always wore a smile wherever he was seen. I know I will be villified by the LAPD and the media. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name. The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse. The consent decree should never have been lifted. The only thing that has evolved from the consent decree is those officers involved in the Rampart scandal and Rodney King incidents have since promoted to supervisor, commanders, and command staff, and executive positions. The question is, what would you do to clear your name? Name; A word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to. Name Synonyms; reputation, title, appellation, denomination, repute. A name is more than just a noun, verb, or adjective.

...Sleight of Hand, Sleight of Mind Orson Welles' F for Fake and the Art of the Cinematic Con Orson Welles' 1974 "film essay" F for Fake opens with a scene of Welles, in the role of a magician, performing a sleight of hand trick with a young child, "transforming" the key the young boy has presented him into a coin and then showing how the young boy had the key all the time in his pocket. The magic was the perfect illustration of Welles' purpose in the film. F for Fake was a film about fraud and deceit, about how the makers of art (and, in particular, film) use "trickery" to fool their intended audience into believing something that is not true. The film focuses on three known "charlatans" (Elmyr de Hory, Clifford Irving, and Welles himself) who used their talents to produce such magnificent forgeries that they were able to fool everyone (even so-called "experts") into believing in the truth of their claims. Despite the status of this film as one of Welles' "minor" films from late in his life (it was one of the last films he completed prior to his death in 1985), it has had a tremendous impact on filmmaking, both in a technical sense (the film's complex editing of various film stocks and styles) and in a textual sense. Welles' identification of the ways in which an audience can be manipulated into believing anything as long as it has the "air" of authenticity has had a tremendous impact on current filmmaking, especially in the realm of horror filmmaking with the current crop...
