Synopsis A

I agree with some parts of Synopsis A that refers to a chain of command being created to ensure a more systematic management of the Band of Merrymen. However, I believe that the solution does not provide specifics as to how revenues can be collected. I believe that it would be best to place leaders nearby the towns so that they can be easily identified by the wealthy, which will then lead them to avoid the areas where they know that the band’s leaders are located. I think that the solution is incomplete without ...

The only right decision, while giving a definition of culture is to define the main features, causes and ways of creative thought’s expression, and afterwards grouping the obtained data. This is what we can observe in the work of Cook and Glickman. After examining each of the options, one can give examples for each of them right away. However, the American culture in all its manifestations is versatile. And every issue within it is equally important. Though, it is sometimes difficult to navigate in the flow of information and ideas, and one has to “go on the reverse”. ...

Digital image analysis is a method of extraction of useful information from digital images by using various digital image processing techniques. A digital image is a two-dimensional matrix that consists of great number of smallest addressable elements – pixels. Each pixel has its own digital characteristics, such as address and color representation. Digital image characteristics have two main measures: spatial resolution that is focused on capturing details and tonal resolution that is used to measure color, dynamic range and bit-depth. Higher tonal, spatial, and color values mean larger sizes of digital image file. (Peterson, 2005, pp. 1-2) The appropriate method ...

(Student’s Full Name) The problem that Robin Hood faces is his need to conclude his crusade against the High Sheriff of Nottingham by getting rid of Prince John, who his is most powerful ally.

Due to their size features and advantages over available anti-microbial properties, chemical imaging ...

HIV/AIDS was seemingly the world’s most moving epidemic. With so many procrastinations, superstitions and politics, the realization of faster ways to handle the epidemic are slowed down as showed in the movie, ‘And The Band Played On’. Efforts by the CDC were significant but the management’s greed for credit led them to the discovery of the disease led to undesirable outcomes of professional misconduct. Essentially, the early war against HIV had its most apparent hindrance as the fact that it had a relatively long incubation period. However, many other inhibitors came forth slowing the medics understanding and ...

What factors inhibited the early war against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)?

There was the lack of information to the public; in essence, the CDC did not communicate the correct information to the public. Many people assumed that the disease was for gay people yet the disease affected everyone. For instance, owners of the public bathrooms did not see the importance of closing the baths down yet they were a threat to the health of the public, (And The Band Played On 1993, 1993). The disease is also a rare one, and it did not have a name in the first place. It was quite difficult to establish the causative agent ...

Nick Jonas put on a performance that was spectacular, energizing, and powerful. His music was melodic, and rhythmic. He appeared wearing a simple wardrobe which consisted of ripped-out jeans, and a jacket tied around his waist, as well as a t-shirt. He did not appear like a typical “pop” star, at all. He sang on a very large stage, and the band played behind the stage. A large band, it featured a trio of back-up singers who added extra harmony to Jonas’s impressive voice. Not only were his songs entertaining, but the crowd sang along with most of ...

Kesha’s concert at Harrah’s in Atlantic City was poor. Her costume almost matched the curtain behind the stage, making it a bad color combination. Also, she was very scantily-clad, and her appearance was inappropriate, something that took away from the quality of her music. In addition, her music, although having a very good dance beat, was difficult to understand. That is, the lyrics were hard to discern. Whether this was due to the poor audio quality at the venue or due to her lack of singing ability is hard to determine. It appeared that the crowd liked ...

Performing at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City on August 6, 2016, singer Kesha played to a packed house. Her performance showed she has a lot of stamina, and proved that she is an entertainer worth checking out. Her energetic performance kept her audience enthusiastically involved. Against a translucent mesh curtain, Kesha and her back-up band, consisting of a keyboardist, drummer, and two guitarists, were well-choreographed. She played a diverse set which highlighted her dancing ability, as well as her impressive contralto voice. Wearing little more than a layered, negligee-like get-up and boots, she was an alluring presence against ...

Led Case

The plagiarism case of Led Zeppelin is significant because of the band’s iconic character. As for the side of the Spirit, the band who accuses Led Zeppelin of an alleged plagiarism, it is fair to raise such legal concern due to various reasons. First, the opening of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin is closely similar to the Spirit’s Taurus (Rubin and Lewis, n.p.). The latter deals with the situation as if something was stolen from them, in which case, the construction of Stairway’s opening part. On the other hand, Led Zeppelin’s attorney claimed that ...

AMINAL’s motto states that all efforts to categorize the genre they play in are futile and that it is “their sworn duty” to melt their audience’s face. Indeed, the “molten rock”, as they call themselves can be used to define the style of the band and, thus, its appeal. The somewhat careless attitude towards what and how they play does not make the band appear uninteresting to the public; it is the part of the style they consciously use to attract new audience. In crude terms, people enjoy seeing a bunch of regular-looking dudes play cool music ...

The Elements of Feminist Media and their Relationship to the Movie The Punk Singer

“Tougher and more lethal than any man, more beautifulthan most women, warrior women in thongs fused feminism and femininity in a fantasy reconciliation between the fury of Riot Grrrl and the body politics of Cosmo.” –Douglas, 2010a, p. 78 The above quotation made by Susan J. Douglas highlights the fact that feminism has had to change how it presents itself to the mainstream. The quotation implies that the strong, hard-core feminist is now being required to soften her outside image with her femininity and sexuality.

Popular music tends to be a very generational thing. The parent’s favorite groups often sound old fashioned to the child—and the parent can’t understand what the child sees in their favorite music, which in the parent’s mind is nowhere near the quality of what he listened to as a child. It is the rare piece of popular music that has the staying power to still be relevant decades after its release, something that’s especially true now when there are so many different styles of popular music in the world. But while this may mean ...

Introductory Remarks

At this point, it is no secret the American society shows a degree of tolerance lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered individuals never enjoyed in the 20th century. The question emerges of why it is that people have grown more tolerant towards and supportive of LGBT individuals. Media categories, such as television and films considered the carriers of culture, influence people’s perception, as does the culture itself shaping it. Thus, the way such phenomenon as same-sex relationships along with their participants are depicted in television and movies determines how tolerantly the society will perceive such people. The major research ...

History of Fashion

Dick Hebdige’s article “Subculture: The Unnatural Break” poses the matter of the role of subculture in a conventional society. The article indicates that media is presenting subcultures such as punk, as threatening to the traditional societal conventions, to the generally accepted sense of morality, lifestyle or fashion. The arguments that the author uses vary from references to the members of subculture as different individuals that create semantic disorders to conversion and the erasure of the “other” to social norms. The article depicts how media techniques are used to highlight a subculture as negative to social standards. Hebdige suggests ...

This discussion focuses on a difficult area of contract law: verbal contracts and agreements. Verbal contracts and agreements are notoriously difficult because they do not rely on anything written: they are entirely the product of spoken interactions, and thus, they are subject to the memory of the individual parties (Beale et al. 2010). In this hypothetical, Simon offers to pay each band member £250,000; ostensibly, this payment is not the issue that is contentious, as each band member did indeed receive this money after completing the concert. Although the case study is not clear, it seems that this ...

Armstrong’s recording of Hotter than that is entirely based on his music prowess. He uses nonsensical syllables but produced solo brilliance which makes the track desirable to the ear and soothing to the heart with a combination of various musical instruments tones such as trumpet, piano, guitar, clarinets and alto saxophone which introduces the track. However, the trumpet dominates the whole track with the sound of other instruments playing distantly in the background. This is boring as there is no smooth flow of the tones.
