...Spectacular, Spectacular: a brief discussion of two engaging portrayals of the famous Parisian cabaret, the Moulin Rouge Yuxin Xue 10051309 IDIS290 Prof. Catherine Dhavernas 11 November 2014 Although the nature of their stories share some important qualities: romance, underlying motives, and the ever-elusive sensation of love, the two films Moulin Rouge and French Cancan are very different illustrations of the famous French caberet. While Jean Renoir uses facets of performance to emphasize the magnificence of the Moulin Rouge, Baz Luhrmann does the opposite, effectively employing the setting as an enhancer to his tragic love story. The Moulin Rouge is best known as the spiritual birthplace of the cancan, a high-spirited dance originally performed as seductive entertainment by courtesans. Renoir focuses on this in his 1954 French Cancan, and much of the film is devoted to plans for building the Moulin Rouge, the courtesans’ efforts in learning the dance, and their internal feuds and doubts spurred on by the need to be the best of performers. The film also shows clear dedication to the relationships between performer and audience, with the courtesans frequently engaging with their patrons through dance and conversation. The Moulin Rouge is in its early days, and thus portrayed freely and in a glorious spotlight, making for a lighthearted atmosphere unchanging throughout the film. When Nini locks herself in her dressing...

... I can never seem to keep a movie on until the end. That’s why I always make it a point to keep them interesting no matter what genre and last October 9’s movie didn’t disappoint. We watched an indie film by Joey De Guzman titled Tumbang Preso. The title seemed really familiar to me so because I was curious, I looked it up. Tumbang Preso was actually a child’s play, no wonder why it was so familiar. I used to play it at my grandma’s place back in Leyte when I was younger too. I actually thought it meant the fall of a prison cell since tumbang means fall and preso was jail. Lo and behold, it meant both. I was impressed with what Mr. De Guzman had going on. So tumbang preso has always been played in one way for kids. A player called an IT, is assigned to guard a can. The rest of the players with their “pamatos” or what they use to hit the can, line up behind a line drawn on the ground. Once settled, the game starts and each kid gets a chance to make the can fall with his or her pamatos. Once the can falls, the owner must retrieve the pamato that made the can fall immediately before he or she is caught. If he is caught, he becomes IT. If the can is hit and falls outside the circle but still stands, the IT has the right to tag the one responsible for the pamato once he or she leaves behind the line. The can may be kicked or knocked down under when it is outside the circle. If the player is not able to retrieve his pamato, the others can save him by hitting the can. ...

They noted it was best for all to have precise, clear explanations all of all essential fundamentals for the termination of their business partnership. An acknowledgement of the effective termination date would need to be set, and all potential risks, if any, should be stated for all parties. The owners and the chefs would meet for a period of 30 minutes and try to dissolve their partnership. The owners and the chefs blame each other for the failure of At Your Service; however, all partakers should act as responsible, mature adults during the meeting. It would speed up the termination process; especially if all partakers can...

... First, please understand that by “young people” I am not referring to anyone under the age of 17. These teens live in a sub-culture that no one over that age understands. There is good reason why retail shopping malls have imposed a ban on these so called young shoppers unless they are accompanied by an adult. Many of the young people I see today can solve problems and the solution is almost always correct. They just go at it differently. While my generation, my parents generation and those before might work out several possibilities and try to devise the best solution, the young people of today use Google and instantly have the opinion of several experts. Ask yourself this question; if we had had computers in our day wouldn’t we be doing the same thing? In other words, why do long division when you can do new math? Our frustration with young people seems to be from their lack of concern or knowledge about routine day to day things. My nieces have never seen a dial phone, an ice cube tray and they certainly do not know how to work a manual can opener. They do not even know what an ironing board is. However, they can solve most...

...Introduction: In 1975, Zara was founded by Amancio Ortega who is still their largest shareholder and wealthiest man in Spain. Ortega started in 1963 with clothing factories and expanded over time to retail and manufacturing. He believed that all functions should be linked in the apparel industry because consumer demand was very difficult to forecast. In 1985, two important events occurred. The first was the formation of a holding company for Zara and the other retail chains. The second key event was that Jose Maria Castellano Rios joined the company as their IT manager and shared Ortega belief’s that computers were critically important in enabling the type of business they were looking to build. Castellano became Inditex’s CEO in 1997. In addition to believing in the importance of computers, Ortegano and Castellano agreed on two other topics regarding the company: Zara must respond quickly to the needs of their customers and the two and other senior managers must leverage the intelligence and trust the judgment of the employees throughout the company, which is why stores were given the freedom to order what they thought they would be able to sell. Inditex operates 1,558 stores in 45 countries out of which 550 stores are a part of Zara chain and generates 73.3% of Inditex’s sales. Zara offers a large array of new style clothes for Men, Women, and Children couples with moderate price point. Women’s clothing accounts for 60% of Zara’s revenue. Zara has developed the business...

...IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT...!! In childhood, we all have had many crazy dreams. But how many of us would really go behind those dreams and pursue them?? Time changes everything. And very few follow their dreams. It’s not that they forget their dreams, but the fear in them, pulls them back from pursuing their dreams. The courage they had in their childhood to do anything and everything is lost, the innocence is lost forever. They forget to think how much happiness it would bring into their life rather they are more concerned with what others would think if they follow their dreams. Even I have a dream, dream to be different. To stand out from the crowd, and to do things which no one ever had thought about. I always wanted to try those things which no one ever dared to do, because that helps me to know more and better of myself. I never followed anyone, because I never wanted to do the exact things what others did in their life. I wanted to be different, different from what others do and think. For me doing things differently, always means discovering myself, knowing more about myself, because what I always believe is, “if we want to do something different, we have to do that one thing which we feel we can’t do. Sometimes we may fail, but then we can proudly say, I’M DIFFERENT.” And for me the most daring thing is to be myself and to do exactly what I want to do at that point in time and not to be worried with what other people think or are doing. Yes I know things...
