When WGN Radio in Chicago first aired Painted Houses in 1930, a uniquely American form of entertainment came into the world (Allen, 1985). In the eighty-seven years since its birth, the American daytime soap opera has entertained the masses through a great depression, two World Wars, and 15 Presidents. The programs go by the moniker “soap operas” because the first producers and sponsor of the programs were soap manufacturers such as Proctor and Gamble (Allen, 1985). Since their introduction, the

Basketball is a game that requires not only skill, but also strategy and hustle. If you cannot handle the pressure, with defenders all up in your face and the fans screaming at the top of their lungs, then it is not a game for you. I love basketball because it benefits me physically, mentally, and socially. From practice to the game itself, to the traveling time, each aspect of being involved on a team is an opportunity to improve and enhance my life. The many benefits that it provides are far-reaching

lost a lot of blood.” “Oh my gosh, she’s that bad?” ask Pam. “Yes, I’m afraid to tell you that she was sexually assaulted multiple times and badly beaten, looking at her wounds, she’s been out in the woods for days because she’s very dehydrated, whoever did this probably thought she was dead, but when she was brought in to us she still had a pulse.” “So, is she going to make it?” “At this time like I said, she’s very critical, we’re doing everything we can to save her, but we have to just pray.”

What did you do during the C.O.D. War? When Ted Turner was launching his cable-TV empire in the '80s, he paid the bills by selling commercial space to anyone who had anything to sell. Between low-budget rasslin' matches and re-runs of Japanese monster movies, Turner's Superstation was a televised flea market. It pitched cheap steak knives, records by faux-hobo Boxcar Willie and any gizmo dreamed up by second-rate Ronco imitators. The beauty was that you could order up the junk by phoning and having

Emmy is maturing so fast, still sweet and caring but definitely forming that teenage sass…lol…entering the teenage years is going to be new territory for us. I love that she talks to us about anything. She took hunters safety this year and developed a new interest in hunting. Jeramie and Emmy went out a few Saturday morning in the fall but the deer won, no kills this year, but Emmy now knows how to safely handle a firearm, a very important skill! She blew out her knees and couldn’t compete in

At Comcast, there is a process we know as on-boarding, which has a goal of preventing a new customer from having to call in with any issues, within the first 30 days of service. The idea is to roll great sales, service and installation into one fluid process with no breakdown from start to finish. The process itself requires many different teams to work together, to be proactive to customer’s needs.

It is entirely possible that consumerism is creating a downward slope, leading us into greed and selfishness; but it is also argued that consumerism is merely a means to stimulate the economy and produce a better society as a whole.

Individual Research Contribution Why is the team of interest to you? As an avid Netflix addict, I have always been a fan of The Office. When our team needed to choose a team, we all decided that the team on The Office exemplified something we could portray well in our project. Throughout the television series, the show paints a picture of a team that on initial looks, seems unorganized, unfocused, and often immature and dysfunctional. As the show progresses, the team changes and grows. Throughout

These seemingly disparate demographics and, subsequently different portions of NBC’s flow are not as disjointed as they seem at first glance. There remain thematic threads and subtextual audience assumptions that create coherence and flow as it now functions. The imagery of the jeopardy opening, in which the camera soars over CGI oceans, islands and San Franciscan monuments, evokes a theme of travel and adventure that is sustained throughout the portion of the schedule analyzed, which actually builds

Two automatic sliding glass doors whoosh open. You walk in, nervous and scared faces surround you. A stale bleach smell fills your lungs. Men and women, young and old dressed in varying shades of blue scrubs file paperwork, pound on a keyboard, or chat with patients families. You are in the Desert Springs emergency room in Las Vegas, Nevada. People say that it takes a special kind of person to work in the emergency room. Someone who can handle the most unsightly wounds, someone who can forget everything
