Maven

Fernando Eizaguirre Dr. Erika Harnett ESS 102 18 April 2018 My sci-fi paper will consist of the possible future scenario where a rogue black hole comes into our solar system swallowing our sun and brings darkness to all of human kind. It will follow a group of survivors that were able to get off the planet in an attempt to get to the nearest star. Leaving behind a slowly dying planet. They are met with a number of challenges. The most pressing being the increasing emission in solar weather…

Mars otherwise known as the “red planet” because of the iron oxide surface on the planet that gives it a red color coat, is one point five hundred and twenty four astronomical units away from the sun. That’s one hundred and forty one point six million miles from the sun making it the fourth planet from the sun. It can easily be seen from Earth because of its red color. According to Nasa, “Mars is named for the ancient Roman god of war”. The Romans chose the name God Of War because it “resembles…

game-ending hit has become as comfortable a part of the baseball lexicon as “balls” and “strikes.” And it’s spreading. The term’s first published citation was in July 1988, according to William Safire, who was The New York Times’s longtime language maven and who wrote about it a decade ago. The Gannett News Service wrote: “In Dennis Eckersley’s colorful vocabulary, a walk-off piece is a home run that wins the game and the pitcher walks off the mound.” Yes, the Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley,…

1. My views are more inline with Anita Elberse’s point of view. The enhancement in the Internet markets provided unlimited shelf space, broader customer preferences to capitalize on, marginal distribution costs and also lower marketing and promotion costs (thanks to the social media). This also lowers the barriers for new entrants. With this revolution in digital space, a viable strategy for the musicians, writers and other content producers is to diversify their product portfolio. Where a…

At the age of 15, many young boys are going to school, worrying about acne and perhaps dreaming of becoming a superstar sports figure. But in the case of Private Dan Bullock he became a casualty of the Vietnam War, becoming the youngest American serviceman killed in the line of duty.Bullock was a southern boy, who was born and raised in the small town of Goldsboro, North Carolina which is about 52 miles north of the state capital of Raleigh. When Bullock was 12, his mom passed away and he and…

Here's the question: Is the power of persuasion good or bad for society? It's a question worth answering, because your world is under assault from an unprecedented number of propagandists for hire and marketing mavens whose only ethic is 'what the market will bear.' Some months ago, I read an article titled "Art and Propaganda" in the online edition of The Nation, and found it to be insightful, challenging, and mildly persuasive, at least in part. This is a excellent article, and well worth…

Country maven, Shania Twain, is ending here Las Vegas residency very soon. From the stage at the show I saw she noted that there were only ten dates left. In the next breath, she noted that she was ready to hit the road – so if you missed her show, Still the One at Ceasars Palace, you might be seeing here in you town in the future. The show was/is chock-a-block full of her hits. It sounds very much like a Shania review. This point was accented by a montage of clips and stills from her…

The Army’s Mission Command philosophy is a strategic cultural and intellectual shift in how to run the Army of the future. Attempts to adopt the philosophy over the past decade have met resistance and therefore have failed to permeate the Army culture. This failure is primarily a result of the Army’s size, complexity, and its scientific managerial approach, founded on processes, checklists, policies, and procedures. This long established culture has evolved with time, tradition, and…

Trends: An Epidemic Every generation has its own memorable trend, such as leather jackets in the 50’s, leg warmers in the 80’s, and more recently, Silly Bands in the 2000’s. How did these trends come to be? In Malcolm Gladwell’s, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, the author explains that a trend is spread by essentially word-of-mouth until it reaches the pinnacle of its popularity, then eventually fading in prevalence. Not only this, but Gladwell likens trends to…

In Drama Productions, the last few months have been completely devoted to Maven. During these months I have spent a lot of time in Hair/Makeup/Costumes, where everyone is rushing around trying to get the costumes ready on time to meet our many deadlines. In Costumes I have learned a lot, I learned how to sew and by having that skill I am not able to help sew and hem different costume pieces. Throughout the last few months I have also learned how to really work in a groups. In Costume and during…
