...PLAYTIME by Jacques Tati Shot from 03:12 – 04:48 / Airport waiting room __________________________________________________________________________ Jacques Tati’s 1967 film, Playtime, captures a cascading series of events through the sterile architecture of Paris, in which few familiar characters inhabit. Tati’s infamous alter ego, Monsieur Hulot, haphazardly occupies many scenes as he stumbles through Paris after trying to contact an American official. The film is confined to no genre, nor does it necessarily form a new one – it simply exists in its own right as an exploration of societal function. Originally shot on 70mm, the film carries impressive visual power in its clear details which are necessary for the comedic impact of its visual cues. The film was infamous in its use of extravagant sets created from scratch, composed mostly of concrete, steel, and glass which in the end made Jacques Tati’s film one of the most expensive French films of its time. This, coupled with an initial poor reception of the film, bankrupted Tati. Today, the film is renowned as a masterpiece of mise-en-scene, an avant-garde picture released ahead of its time. The film is certainly one of mere observation and an encapsulating look at humanity’s occupation of the modern world. The fourth shot...

...MGMT 367: Business Law II Week 8 Discussion Assignment - 2 Parts Part 1 Chapter 44 covers real property law, but to fully appreciate the limitations to your real property rights, you need to understand the 5th Amendment Takings Clause (see pp. 114-118). The textbook provides excerpts from the Kelo v. City of New London opinion, but to fully appreciate this landmark case, I’ve provided a separate link to the Court’s opinion and a video that explains the case and its ultimate outcome. After reading and viewing the video, share with the class your viewpoint on whether eminent domain be used for “economic development” and whether you agree with the majority or dissenting opinions. I think it should be on a case –by- case basis. In the video we found out after Suzette’s years of struggle she finally lost her case, but the intended development never was completed. People were forced out for no reason. Using eminent domain the government can take from the poor and give to the rich. I understand that the Takings Clause is supposed to ensure that just compensation is paid. What is just if you have improved the land and held it for a lifetime? I would not want to be put out and have to start over for what a government entity calls just compensation. I think there are plenty of places that can benefit from “economic development” but “eminent domain” should be the last resort, due to this I agree more with the dissenting opinions in this case. When roads or bridges are needed...

...Nonetheless, renowned for his keen insight into society and creative integration of comedic elements, Tati is still one of the greatest directors in film history. After the Second World War, the rapid reconstruction of the western world gave birth to a series of complex ideological trends. In this process, the original social classes were re-divided, and the old social rules were gradually being replaced. Driven by the anti-establishment ideology, Les Vacances de M. Hulot reflects the social situation at that time. This 1952 film narrates several hidebound elements of French polity and economy and it also gently mocks the postwar modern...

...Tati Chermayeff AP Government & Politics November 5, 2015 Divided Government FRQ Jeffrey A. Fine, Ph.D, defines a unified government as one where the same party controls the presidency and both houses of Congress. This form of leadership is the contradictory of divided government. Although uncommon in most presidencies of the 21st century, Mr. Obama enjoyed a democratic majority within the House for the first two years of his first term, starting in 2008. Typically, a unified government encounters little trouble when enacting laws. The president is less likely to veto Congressional legislation, vise-versa, when there are minimal ideological differences between the legislative and executive branches. The larger a party majority in Congress is, the less likely it is for a gridlock to occur. The majority can suppress the minority and easily push their own agendas forward. Like wise, the filibuster is less menacing under the reign of a unified government with a large majority. Minorities often use filibusters to assert their power, however, with an overpowering large majority the ruling party can overturn the filibuster with a cloture....

Its purpose is to isolate office workers from the sights and noises of an open workspace so that they may focus without interruptions. An office full with cubicles is from time to time called a sea of cubicles or cube farm. Though entertaining, the phrase usually has negative undertones. Yet cube farms are regularly found in high-tech companies. The office cubicle was made by designer Robert Propst for Herman Miller, and released in 1967 under the name “Action Office II”.

...Tati Kringel Professor Posada CTVR 1 15 September 2016 When Creation Causes Destruction New advances in technology have created and given users a wider rage of ability to potentially become a photographer just by owning a smart phone. This creates a difficult field, or obstacle for those who take their photography careers seriously and are professionals. In the article, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” by Walter Benjamin, he writes about a change in perspective in film and photography and discusses his argument towards the loss of the aura through the mechanical reproduction of art itself. He also touches upon how modern art has changed immensely since the beginning of its creation, and how it has lost a majority of its value. As social media is growing and changing, there are many opportunities for anyone to be able to take professional photos just by having equipment and the social...

...Tatayana Greene Create Real Impact Contest Essay You Only Get One Summer 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio. My considered-second family, The Morrings, had came to get me in the early afternoon to go on a 2-3 hour drive to get my sister Terraé her new puppy to cure the mourning for her recently lost one. I climbed into the third section of the run down 2014 jet black Tahoe, Ms.Morring in the driver seat, family friend Tanisha in the passenger, Tanisha’s daughter and our friend Darius in the second section, and me and Terraé in the third. The car ride was full of laughter and sing-a-longs with plenty of freeway until we finally got off, although we still had plenty of ground to cover. There was farm after farm, cow after cow and so many different roadside stands selling either fruits, vegetables or pies. It was obvious we were in the countryside part of Ohio by now. We even passed by an outside go-kart place that we all started making plans to come back to before the summer was over. It still took about thirty minutes to get to the house where the woman we were getting the puppy from lived, but once pulling up in the driveway and opening the door, we were bumrushed with the tiniest puppies and kittens any of us had laid our eyes on. We were greeted by a short, Caucasian lady named Amber, who told us that Terraé could pick whatever puppy her heart desired. After about five minutes of looking around, she made a connection with Bubbles, the runt of a litter of Yorkie Terriers...

The French cinema comprises the art of film and creative movies made within the nation of France or by French filmmakers abroad. France is the birthplace of cinema and was responsible for many of its significant contributions to the art form and the film-making process itself.[3] Several important cinematic movements, including the Nouvelle Vague, began in the country. It is noted for having a particularly strong film industry, due in part to protections afforded by the French government.[3] Apart from its strong and innovative film tradition, France has also been a gathering spot for artists from across Europe and the world. For this reason, French cinema is sometimes intertwined with the cinema of foreign nations. Directors from nations such as Poland (Roman Polanski, Krzysztof Kieślowski, and Andrzej Żuławski), Argentina(Gaspar...
