...The Effects of Hollywood Since the eventful day of September 11th torture has been a hot topic for the media, movies, and has even sparked debate amongst government officials. In the article, “Whatever it Takes” by Jane Mayer, she debates on the subject by comparing real life torture from an interrogators point of view and those of the fantasy world from which the producers and writers come up with for the hit TV show 24. Mayer attempts to influence her readers about the effects that the show 24 has on its viewers, which include young cadets, through interviews with highly trained interrogators. Mayer also interviews the show’s writers, producers, and actors to expose some of the main concerns in regards to the torture scenes in the hit show 24. Throughout the article, Mayer makes it clear that she does not agree with the way torture is being projected in the show 24 by starting off her discussion questioning the producer’s credibility, Joel Surnow. Mayer wants people to see Surnow as an arrogant and selfish person by quoting Surnow as saying, “People in the Administration love the series, too, it’s a patriotic show. They should love it” (Surnow Qtd in Mayer 1). Mayer’s point is that Surnow is very confident in the show’s popularity regardless of the criticism the show brings amongst some of its viewers. Surnow also bluntly tells Mayer that he is arrogant, there’s no denying it. She also points out many times in her article that he is a conservative and goes on to say that...

...Which CTU agent was executed in season three of "24"? When did the vindictive Nina and Sherry die? How does Jack Bauer return to CTU after being assumed dead at the conclusion of season four? 2. Credibility: I have not missed a single episode of twenty four since its deputed 5 years ago. Tonight the show is on from 8pm-9pm but you better believe that the TIVO is set. 24 revolutionized the after work action/drama genre for me. It deals with contemporary issues, real and more or less plausible terrorist threats, and a real-time hourly format, 24 redefined my expectations for all shows going forward. 3. Thesis: 24 is a great alternative to mindless, dull, and uninteresting television shows that flood the airways today. 24 is sure to grasp your attention away from other shows such as “The Apprentice©”, “Americas Funniest Home Videos©”, and “Gilmore Girls©” that sure the same time slot. II. BODY: 1. NEED STEP: A. There are many shows on television that just don’t catch the attention of the viewers. If any of you are like my uncle you may just watch whatever show the remote takes you too. While this can be entertaining, it does may not satisfy you as much as it could. B. Although “CSPAN©” may teach you politics, “Iron Chef©” may enhance your cooking skills, and “WWE Raw©” may give some that macho soap opera experience; none of these shows will give you the overall satisfaction that 24 has to offer. It is full of romance, suspense,...

...Title : Pasay city pet shop owner arrested for selling endangered wildlife. Published : june 5, 2014 Website: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/364378/news/metromanila/pasay-city-pet-shop-owner-arrested-for-selling-endangered-wildlife Police and personnel from the Biodiversity Management Bureau seized illegally-traded wildlife in a raid on a house in Pasay City. The raiding team found animals like the Philippine sailfin lizard, blue-tongued skinks, and Palawan Hill Mynahs in the backyard and basement of the house, GMA News' "24 Oras" reported Thursday. Also found during the raid were an elongated tortoise, a white-bellied sea eagle, a Palawan hornbill, and a black palm cockatoo. Water in the basement was used to soundproof the house, the report said. According to Senior Superintendent John Guyguyin, head of the Philippine National Police Anti-Transnational Crimes Unit, it is difficult to track illegal operations like this because business is done through text. "Meron tayo kasing markets talaga diyan, so 'yun yung medyo mahirap. Yung supply and demand din yung nagdi-dictate," Guyguyin added. Abraham Bernales, the owner of the house, had reportedly been a long-time resident of Bgy. 188 Zone 20, but Barangay Chairperson Herminia Flores said they didn't know of his illegal activities. "Sabi ng tanod ko, ang napupuna niya lang dito, mga malalakas ang tugtog. Siguro para masabayan na hindi marinig," she said. "Ang alam ko lang may pet shop sila. Hindi...

...1. In a narrative format, summarize the key facts and issues of the case. The key facts of this case include Imus’ performance and history as a 28-year veteran shock-jock, his employment by CBS and MSNBC, his controversial and off-color comments against a girl’s basketball team, and CBS’ response to the matter. The issues include the remarks made by Imus’, was the response by CBS timely and appropriate and what could have been improved upon in preparation and execution of their crisis management approach. Also, was CBS strategic in their execution of their damage control? Should Imus have continually remained in the media empathetically apologizing then saying he had apologized enough? 2. Update the information in the case by researching it on the Internet. Focus your response on the specific issues in the case. The case study provided by the text provides limited information in the summary. Although it includes the incident, a little history of Imus and CBS’ response, it is vague as to how the matter became so public and why CBS would severe a $40 million contract with one of the nation’s most revenue-producing jock (Press, 2007). Further research reveals the history of Imus’ profession as a highly sought after shock jock, the efforts behind his firing, CBS’ reaction, responses and their inadvertent handling of the matter. The employment contract was extended to Imus by CBS in 2006 because he was a shock-jock of the nation and because his controversy and...

...Task 2 Advantages of ecommerce Having a business open 24/7 I have been asked the discus in detail the impacts and negative impacts of an e-commerce business; I am going to first discus the impacts of an e-commerce business running 24/7. There are many impacts with having an 24/7 e-commerce online business, I first looked at the website tokokoo.com (online) that it mention that the advantage of it being opened 24/7 is that people all over the world can purchase what the e-commerce website is selling, this impacts your business as all parts of the world we be buying your products and services at all times ‘Even while you’re sleeping, your customers can visit your store and browse your products and place their orders’. Another advantage of it being opened 24/7 is that you can purchase items/services anytime you want this is a good impact new targets markets can be made which is for the people who work long hour days which means they are too busy in the day because there working which means they do not have time for shopping in the day, this impacts your business and achieves more customers which means you will sell more. Includes that customers will be satisfied as they can purchase items from their own home. A disadvantage of having a 24/7 business is that you will have to pay more for staff to keep this e-commerce business operated at all times, people who would be operating the website are not on a normal wage like a shelf stacker it is far more.

...I recently read the book authored by renowned historian Stephen Ambrose titled The Wild Blue: The men and boys who flew the B-24’s over Germany, which encompassed the journey of these young men. From start to finish Ambrose gave a great overall view of the trials and tribulations one would go through being a pilot or a crew member on a B-24 during WWII. The book focused primarily on the 741st squadron 455th bomb group. But in particular it focused on one of its pilots, Lt. George McGovern. While at times this book almost felt like a war biography of McGovern, it did touch on various other crew members and gave a great overall view of these boys journey from their early life to time spent overseas fighting. The book starts off by taking you through the background of these young men showing their upbringing. The majority of them came from humble beginnings and spent their adolescent life in small rural towns in America. Most were still teens when they enlisted and began their training. Ambrose commented on their age by saying that while someone that age today may be lucky enough to be handed the keys to the family car they were being sent off to defend the country. These boys generally were from blue color households in small towns and had previously never even been aboard a plane much less flown or navigated one. Once enlisted as potential pilots they were sent to flight training school. I found this portion as well as the first half of the book to be very slow. This was mainly...

...True Fitness Business Plan By Ian Davenport 1 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The business outlined in this plan is an “all-sport” club that will offer a variety of different exercise techniques in order to please its clients. We feel this market is very profitable because it reaches over 33.8 million people across the United States and brings in over $12.2 billion annually. Club memberships in the United States have increased every year since 1987 and a strong market makes a strong business. We are a solid investment because start-up sports gyms on average take in 1,000 new members per year. This will allow our business to break even in less than five years. Our club, “True Fitness” will offer its members quality services and benefits that no other club can offer. We want to take investments and use them wisely in order to create a sports facility that pleases customers. In sports clubs, the top five most profitable programs/services are personal training, massage therapy, food/beverages, an aquatics program, and a tennis program. Our gym will provide all of these services and thus increase our productivity. We will build a large complex that will include a pool, personal training facilities, basketball courts, a day spa, tennis courts, and many other features to attract clientele. Through our knowledge of the Tri-Valley area and our willingness to take risks we will be able to build a single center into a profitable facility. Livermore, where our facility will be built has a large...

...Anytime Fitness continues to “maintain robust growth rates as the world’s largest and fastest growing 24-hour co-ed fitness franchise since their founding in 2002” (Anytime Fitness, 2012). Whenever looking to enter a franchise agreement, startup costs become a vital point. Anytime Fitness’s website provides numerical figures for average startup costs for both a complete fitness center and a fitness express center which doesn’t have as much square feet or perks as a regular center; fitness center is between “$59,999 and $321,899 and an express center is between $46,299 to $210,999” (2012). Not only does Anytime Fitness offer affordable startup costs but an “online operations manual” is available once the agreement is entered. Having access to an online manual allows for a franchisee to take the lead and put in the effort necessary to create a successful franchise. In addition to online manual, Anytime Fitness also holds conference calls and webinars throughout the month to make sure everyone is up to par for their region and all franchises are operating properly. Perhaps the most intense feature and reason Anytime Fitness flourishes is the security and surveillance system in place. Because the security is so extensive it allows for members to come and go at their leisure. Having access 24 hours a day allows members to work with their schedule instead of plan the gym workout around their schedule. Another plus to having cameras and exclusive access by card only is the low...
