Market Paper

...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eat Your Heart Out | Paper Magazine Does a Super (Duper) Market Culture, Food By JANE HERMANJuly 13, 2012, 1:30 pm 2 Comments Paper Magazine's Super (Duper) Market Atisha Paulson Brucie Atisha Paulson Scribe Winery Atisha Paulson 123Loading “I’m crying. And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

A Word from R Gopalakrishnan -Tata Sons

...A word from R Gopalakrishnan -Tata Sons There is a Thai saying that experience is a comb, which Nature gives to man after he is bald. As I grow bald, I would like to share my comb with your people, about their career ahead. 1. Seek out grassroots level experience: I studied Physics and Engineering at University. A few months before graduation, I appeared for an HLL interview for Computer Traineeship. When asked whether I would consider Marketing instead of Computers, I responded negatively: an engineer to visit grocery shops to sell Dalda or Lifebuoy? Gosh, no way. After I joined the Company and a couple of comfortable weeks in the swanky Head Office, I was given a train ticket to go to Nasik. Would I please meet Mr. Kelkar to whom I would be attached for the next two months? He would teach me to work as a salesman in his territory, which included staying in Kopargaon and Pimpalgaon among other small towns. I was most upset. In a town called Ozhar, I was moving around from shop to shop with a bullock cart full of products and a salesman's folder in my hand. Imagine my embarrassment when an IIT friend appeared in front of me in Ozhar, believe it or not! and exclaimed, "Gopal, I thought you joined as a Management Trainee in Computers". I could have died a thousand deaths. After this leveling experience, I was less embarrassed to work as a Dispatch Clerk in the Company Depot and an Invoice Clerk in the Accounts Department. Several years later, I realized the value of such grassroots...

...this earth and the meaning of life is what we make it out to be. Death affirmation is the view that we have on mortality and what happens to us when we die. There are many opinions about whether life continues on after death or not (Janaro,Altshuler,517). There is a religious view that is expressed through the writings in Bibles and can be seen through the artistry of the words that are used to describe many different aspects of life. Life and death affirmation is something that all of us should face willingly or we might be forced to face at some point in time throughout our lives. Throughout this discovery search about life and death affirmations I have chosen to discuss what the King James Prophesy Bible and the movie It's A Wonderful Life is able to show about their views on life and death. In my opinion these two affirmations tie in together. Literature: When describing death in literature the writings enable the readers to expand their thoughts in many ways, for example when we read stories and poems they are able to draw on our imaginations and capture our thoughts. They are able to paint mental pictures for us so that we may see the different views of others opinions. The information from the writings in the Prophesy Study Bible contain much literature that was formed through the use of poetry and songs as well as story's teachings that are spoken in...

Eveline

...James Joyce, “Eveline”, published in 1914 almost a decade ago from our present time, relates the story of a very young woman from Ireland, who is (just over 19), in between the sensitive age of adolescence and maturity. The religion guide and plays an important role in the average Irish people’s life, specially if a person is an unmarried single young woman. That “Irish background” eventually shapes and influences and impacts the future of “Eveline” in a very tragic and dramatic way till the “End” of this story. Eveline, who stands in between the criss-cross roads of making a very important life times’ decision, of choosing between her future married life with a man (Frank) she truly believed she loved, and the family she was obliged to serve, feed, look after and take care of, constantly in spite of all her personal hardships and sacrifices. The “End,” and the related theme of the “End” of this very touching short story by J.Joyce “Eveline” is linked strongly with it’s “Beginning”, which gradually unfolds with Eveline contemplating seriously upon her “Past”, “Present” and the “Coming Future”. Sitting in a very gloomy, dull and dusty room filled with “the odour of dusty cretonne”, worn out curtains, and an old yellowed picture which hung on the wall upon the broken harmonium beside the coloured print of the promises made to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque. Eveline’s “Past,” partly consisted of her simple growing up childhood with the neighbouring children of the...

Media Worldview

...Brandy Cain March 2, 2013 CVW 101 G. Malloy Media Worldview The movie I chose was It’s A Wonderful Life. It is one of my favorite movies. I think it’s a classic and everyone should watch it at least once. The movie is based on the life of George Bailey. You know from the beginning that the worldview is Christian because it starts with everyone praying for George. George is a troubled man going thru a hard time and an angel named Clarence Odbody comes down to show him how different his life would be if he had never been born. Clarence has to save George so he can obtain his wings. The head angels Franklin and Joseph show Clarence Georges life up till now. George lives in New Bedford, NY. It’s a small town where everyone knows everyone. George’s father owns the Bailey Building and Loan Association. From when George was a child to his adult life the Bailey Building and Loan Association is in danger of going out of business. George Bailey is the type of person who sacrifices his own dreams for those of others. When George was 12 he saved his baby brother Harry after he falls into a frozen pond. He ended up losing his earring after getting a cold from being in the freezing water. George worked at the local pharmacy. He realized that the druggist, Mr. Gower, has just received a telegram saying that his son had died. He was so distraught that he put poison in a pill supposed to be given to a child. George notices this and doesn’t deliver the medicine. The druggist...

It’s a Wonderful Life – Trust, Respect and Personal Responsibility in Business

...Caroline Coyle English 285-001-Summer 1 June 28, 2012 The Corporation and Modern Society: Crises of Capitalism It’s a Wonderful Life – Trust, Respect and Personal Responsibility in Business We tend to think of the past with nostalgia. The stories of our grandparents about simpler times when there was trust and respect, when families lived and stayed together, doors could be left unlocked, shopkeepers and businesses knew their customers. Some grandparents lived through the early 20th century untouched by the Great Depression. However, others struggled against forces that they did not understand. The banks and businesses that they had trusted had “failed” and they were suddenly without jobs or homes. Most Americans did not have any idea what had happened to the banks or how a bank could “fail”. With only newspapers and limited radio to rely on for information, they felt abandoned by the institutions they had trusted. The film It’s a Wonderful Life addresses the impact that a loss of trust has on a community and equally important, the failure of big business to respect those they serve. Frank Capra recognized that his film would be more than “good versus evil” in the form of George Bailey versus Mr. Potter. The citizens of Bedford Falls represented every small town in America where the lives of working class people centered on cooperation, sharing equity, fairness, and justice. They had a perception of trust and respect built on these values in which business...

Free-Writing Assignment Essay

...With two “tough” Australian brigades going into battle singing “Have you heard of the wonderful wizard, The wonderful Wizard of Oz..” it was a song that was spread from Australia to England. The song reflected a classic 1939 Hollywood production of the story, which not only introduced millions to the land of Oz, but also to a talented young lady named Judy Garland. Published in 1900, Lyman Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was immensely popular- providing a base for a profitable musical comedy, three movies,and plays. The tale that Baum has created has been seen by interested scholars, such as Russel B. Nye. being neither critically acclaimed nor critically examined. In the Oz book, Professor Nye finds a “strain of moralism” as well as “ a well-developed sense of satire”, however in Baum’s stories, he often includes parodies of the contradictions in human nature. In 1900, Baum was surrounded by an astonishing degree of political reality. While Baum was living in South Dakota, not only was the frontier and actual thing of the past, and with the stark reality of the dry, open plains served to crush Romantic Idealism. In Chicago, Baum saw the results of the depression which had closed down upon the nation in 1893. Baum took part in the pivotal election of 1896, marching in “torch-light parades got William Jennings Bryan” With Baum’s allegiance to the cause of Democratic Populism, it must balance against the fact that he was not a political activist.

Defending the Arts

...Defending the Arts 1 Defending the Arts 100/Arts 6/16/14 Defending the Arts 2 Me and my wife have always enjoyed the arts and took and opportunity recently to go see the play “Wicked” in Raleigh N.C.. It has always been one of my wives favorite plays so it ended up being what I wanted us to go see. Wicked is a new twist on the classic tale of the Wizard of Oz. It is a play adaptation of Gregory Maguire's book of the same name. In this retelling, the “wicked” witch is actually the heroine of the story, who starts out as the outcast and is coached by Glinda, her big sister. She begins to be popular, which is expressed in a musical number that was one of my wife's favorite songs in the play. However, she realizes her real desire is not to fall in love and pursue the wizard/witch love story, but to be free. During the play the musical numbers played a huge part in telling the story as well as the movements of the characters. With song it was easy to tell what each character was feeling and meaning to express. The songs also cause you to feel similar feelings to the characters. According to ("2knowmyself", 2006-2011) music is the fastest way to create emotion to the audience. Within seconds you can completely change a listener's emotional state  ("2knowmyself", 2006-2011) .

Courage

...Courage Ever since I was young, the character in a film with whom I most strongly related would surely be 'the cowardly lion', from The Wizard of Oz. This was not because I was entertained by his cowardliness, as his name would make you think, but because I really liked his relentless quest for courage. When speaking of courage, the cowardly lion compares it's magnitude to these sentiments: “what makes a king out of a slave?...what makes the flag on the mast wave?...what makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk?” the answer to all of those questions, is of course, courage. There are, however, many different elements that make up the word, making it difficult to accurately capture the true meaning in a single sentence. It's not simply being momentarily brave and jumping from a cliff, or latching on to a group of vagabonds on a hunt for wizards and adventure. While the definition states that 'courage is the ability to do something that frightens one', in this essay I'd like to explore the different dimensions of the word, involving not only the conquering of courageous, physical feats, but also by acknowledging where courage comes from and how, once displayed, it can change your life on many different levels. In modern culture, displaying courage often becomes defined by the danger one displays through death-defying physical feats. An example of this would be taking a ride on a rollercoaster that you have always too scared to ride. When...
