...Chapter 1 Background English came to Singapore around 19th century. After the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, he set Singapore as a trading port in Malacca. This port attracted many people coming to do trading in Singapore. They came to trade and stayed. Not more than three years after the landing of Raffles, Singapore was a town with over 10,000 inhabitants (Chuan, 2003). That time the British presence came almost immediately for the language of trade and commerce developing. According to the big immigration after port setting in Singapore, the country today is a multi-ethnic country, which composed of Chinese (77%), Malay (15%), and Indians (8%). This made English serves as an inter-ethnic lingua franca (Harada, 2009). The first languages of most Singaporeans are Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. Since they are educated in English, they can speak English fluently. Singlish is the English-based creole spoken and written colloquially in Singapore. Singlish has its unique slang and syntax, which are more pronounced in informal speech. Singlish vocabulary formally takes after British English (in terms of spelling and abbreviations), although naming conventions are in a mix of American and British ones (with American ones on the rise). In brief, Singlish contains loanwords borrowed from Chinese dialect and Malay. The grammars which are used in Singlish are quite different from SSE such as; copula deletion, generalized “is it” question tag,...

Greatness isnt a function of circumstance but a matter of conscious choice. Themes- level 5 leadership U do as per book n gve one example tht u have in ur notes n explain tht in short First who then what- explain wd example FOR REFERENCE There are 6 key principles derived from carefully studying companies who have consistently outperformed the market for 15+ years: 1. Level 5 leadership - It’s above principled leadership, not charisma. Great leaders mix personal humility with intense professional will – where the company comes first. Ego-driven leaders can lose sight of the real goal (cf. Iacocca). - Great organizations have leaders that take responsibility and have the courage to do what MUST be done. - They do not budge from high standards. 2. First who…then what - Great organizations get the wrong people off the bus, the right people on the bus – then get the right people sitting in the right seats – and only then decide where you want to go...

COPYRIGHT © 2002 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Advaark achieved phenomenal success selling one service very well. But now customers are asking for more, creating a strategic dilemma that could tear the company apart. “Cut!” Spike Sanchez stomped toward the stage, his arms waving the music to a stop. Wearing black from head to toe, sporting dark glasses, and sweating under the heat of the lights, he was losing his patience. A highly respected music video director, Sanchez was starting to wonder if taking on this advertising gig was such a great idea. “How many times do I have to tell you to point the logo on the can toward the camera during that move?” On stage was Maygan M, a pop singer whose star had risen in the months since she’d agreed to do this ad. She was a sweet-faced, 18-year-old beauty, dressed in a sequined, midriff-baring halter top, a skintight leopard microskirt, and platform shoes that had already tripped her up twice. She sheltered her eyes from the lights and glared at Sanchez. “Like I can even see the stupid logo,” she whined. “Maybe you could...

...London Burney How to Make Beats Did you ever wonder how music is properly made? All the background work that goes into most popular songs you listen to in today radio. Well, I’m here to give you the steps that producers/beat makers do to give artists that quality sound, and the tunes you listeners love to hear. From pop to hip-hop all the way to classical music, making beats couldn’t get any simpler. With today’s technology you are just a click away from making your own beat. To start, you’ll need to gather up some items. First you need either a laptop or desktop and it can be either pc or mac. Next you need to decide what DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) to use. A DAW is a digital audio workstation that allows you to record a session on your computer. Here’s a lists of DAW programs (FL Studio, Abelton, Pro Tools, Reasons, Logic Pro and etc.). For beginners, I would suggest using FL Studio and Logic Pro; I believe these 2 our easiest to understand than the other DAW programs. Last but not least have some good quality headphones or speaker monitors. Now when you have all the supplies, you go ahead and install the DAW program. Once the program is install go ahead in open the program to make a new session. Now here’s where the fun begins. For me I make a lot of hip-hop beats, and when I make hip-hop beats the tempo can range between 120 bpm to 140 bpm. And you can also turn on the metronome to keep a steady a pace/rhythm. Next you can either start with your percussion...

Sal then kicks him out and tension begins to build. Later on another actor known as Radio Raheem who is a young black man that always walks around the neighborhood with a boom box with loud music walks in the pizzeria with loud music and Sal kicks him out. The outcome of that scene is also engaged with tension being built. In another scene of the movie, Buggin Out and Radio Raheem decide to go to the pizzeria and threaten Sal. In this scene Lee uses a close up and a low angle to expose how Radio Raheem and Buggin Out feel. According to the article “Spike Lee's Aesthetic Techniques in Do the Right Thing” written by Adrianna Carter, Carter emphasizes, “low angle shot enhance the scene because it shows the distortion between their relationship with Sal and to make them look intimidating and powerful.” The above quote demonstrates how Lee utilized a low angle to endorse...
