  • Life Begins After 30 the Range Rover Classic
    Life Begins After 30 The Range Rover Classic By Jeffrey B. Aronson Age slips up to most of us, and the next thing you know, you’re a “classic.” It may be hard to believe, but the Range Rover has now delighted automotive enthusiasts since its unveiling 31 years ago. When Land Rover afficionados discuss “old Land Rovers,” they must now include Range Rovers, too. The Range Rover has been with us in much the same manner for three decades; even the “new” model in 1994 retained many of the engineering cues of the original. The original Range Rover, dubbed the “Classic,” took the Land Rover concept of “crossover vehicle” and made it more sophisticated. Whereas the Land Rover made itself into a station wagon by adding more seats to a utility vehicle, it First didn’t fool passengers one bit. The Range Rover Impressions combined luxury, performance, station wagon utility, and of course, off road capability, in a car that asked little compromise from its owners. Look at a photo of the Range Rover, the two- American 4 x 4’s included International Bruce McWilliams, reported he was white-knuckled door of its first decade.

  • The Hollywood Cinema Industry's Coming of Digital Age: The
    The Hollywood Cinema Industry’s Coming of Digital Age: the Digitisation of Visual Effects, 1977-1999 Volume I Rama Venkatasawmy BA (Hons) Murdoch This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. -------------------------------- Rama Venkatasawmy Abstract By 1902, Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Dans La Lune had already articulated a pivotal function for visual effects or VFX in the cinema. It enabled the visual realisation of concepts and ideas that would otherwise have been, in practical and logistical terms, too risky, expensive or plain impossible to capture, re-present and reproduce on film according to so-called “conventional” motion-picture recording techniques and devices. Since then, VFX – in conjunction with their respective techno-visual means of re-production – have gradually become utterly indispensable to the array of practices, techniques and tools commonly used in filmmaking as such. For the Hollywood cinema industry, comprehensive VFX applications have not only motivated the expansion of commercial filmmaking praxis. They have also influenced the evolution of viewing pleasures and spectatorship experiences. Following the digitisation of their associated technologies, VFX have been responsible for multiplying the strategies of re-presentation and story-telling as well as extending the range of stories that can potentially be told on screen. By the same token, the visual standards of the Hollywood film’s production and exhibition have been growing in sophistication.

Carp WILLIAMS & JENSEN, P.C. 1155 – 21st Street, NW Washington, DC 20036 (202) 659-8201 Their Attorneys Dated: June 16, 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY News Corp.’s proposed acquisition of DirecTV will amass an unprecedented combination of video programming content and distribution assets under a single corporate banner. The Commission has never before evaluated under the public interest standard the magnitude of vertical market issues presented by this transaction. Never before has a single company been armed with a national distribution platform, a national broadcast network, local TV stations in virtually every major media market, the governmentally- created retransmission consent power, and the “battering ram” of sports programming. Wielding this singularly potent array of content and distribution assets, News Corp. will have the ability and incentive to raise programming costs to consumers and damage competition in video programming distribution markets nationwide. News Corp.’s ability and incentive to raise prices will be particularly elevated in markets where it is dealing with smaller and medium-sized cable companies. The public interest benefits touted by the parties are insubstantial, especially in light of these likely harms.

It is consolidated in an attempt to relay the most relevant and meaningful merchant name as merchants enroll at differing levels: by subsidiary, franchise, or parent organization. Visa recommends that issuers and merchants not use this list in marketing efforts for VAU because: 1. We do not have 100% penetration on all sides. 2. We cannot guarantee that the information exchange between the financial institution and merchant will occur in time for the cardholder’s next billing. 3.
