Everyone has their own opinions on this new way of learning. Even though this school year is not starting out as normal, students find the positives. For example, Abbie Woods (6th grade) says, ?I love being able to meet new people and have new opportunities.? Despite this year being a hybrid model, Abbie is still finding new ways to make friends. 7th grader, JJ Gruszewski says, ?I like going on the bus with barely anyone on it, because it?s way quieter.? Carson students are great at looking on the bright side of things! Sanitation stations, distancing and masks are things Carson students have needed to make part of their routine. It is clear that the Carson students who know the school the best are the ones who miss the way things used to be. Neely Cameron (8th grade) says, ?I miss not having to worry about sanitation, and masks.? Getting used to masks is hard, but something even harder for students is not being able to see their friends. Gruszewski says, ?I miss being able to see my friends all at once.? These are all things we miss, but Carson students Interested in knowing N.A.'s covid have a way of adapting and rising above the numbers? Click here. challenge.

When Jay and Silent Bob discover that Hollywood is rebooting an old movie based on them, the clueless duo embark on another cross-country mission to stop it all over again! 1 CAST & CREW BIOGRAPHIES: KEVIN SMITH (Silent Bob, Director / Writer) Kevin Smith has been saying silly cinematic shit since his first film Clerks, released way back in 1994. He had a heart attack and almost died last year but survived solely so he could direct his magnum opus, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. A polygamist, he’s married to both his wife Jen and podcasting. JASON MEWES (Jay) Jason Mewes most recently made his directorial debut on MADNESS IN THE METHOD, which was released in August 2019. With cult-fans following his controversial antics, Mewes has captured audiences with his rebellious banter against his unspoken other half and longtime friend, Kevin Smith. Since the beginning of the duo’s offbeat work together, Mewes and Smith have continued to build on their beloved character-driven roles from the Jay and Silent Bob series. It’s been over a decade since fans last saw the duo in live- action, but they’re back along with a star-studded cast in the upcoming comedy film, JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT.

    Youtube Marketing: Legality of Sponsorship and Endorsement in Advertising Katrina Wu, University of San Diego

    From the SelectedWorks of Katrina Wu Spring 2016 YouTube Marketing: Legality of Sponsorship and Endorsement in Advertising Katrina Wu, University of San Diego Available at: http://works.bepress.com/katrina_wu/2/ YOUTUBE MARKETING: LEGALITY OF SPONSORSHIP AND ENDORSEMENTS IN ADVERTISING Katrina Wua1 Abstract YouTube endorsement marketing, sometimes referred to as native advertising, is a form of marketing where advertisements are seamlessly incorporated into the video content unlike traditional commercials. This paper categorizes YouTube endorsement marketing into three forms: (1) direct sponsorship where the content creator partners with the sponsor to create videos, (2) affiliated links where the content creator gets a commission resulting from purchases attributable to the content creator, and (3) free product sampling where products are sent to content creators for free to be featured in a video. Examples in each of the three forms of YouTube marketing can be observed across virtually all genres of video, such as beauty/fashion, gaming, culinary, and comedy. There are four major stakeholder interests at play—the YouTube content creators, viewers, YouTube, and the companies—and a close examination upon the interplay of these interests supports this paper’s argument that YouTube marketing is trending and effective but urgently needs transparency. The effectiveness of YouTube marketing is demonstrated through a hypothetical example in the paper involving a cosmetics company providing free product sampling for a YouTube content creator. Calculations in the hypothetical example show impressive return on investment for such marketing maneuver. Companies and YouTube content creators are subject to disclosure requirements under Federal law if the content is an endorsement as defined by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”).

    Among Us: the Example of Current Digital Influencers’ Impact on the Digital Games’ Popularity

    The whole situation can be compared to what happens with limited editions of the Nintendo Switch on a regular basis. However while those are highly limited and valuable collectors’ pieces, new consoles suffering from shortages now are just mass-produced machines with no significant long-term value. Yet what about Nintendo and the next gen- eration? While both Microsoft and Sony had a head start, Nintendo does not yet have a horse in this race. And they do not need to. Nintendo consoles have never been about graphical prowess or raw power. They were about fun, gimmicks and experiences. And if Nintendo Switch sales are something to go by, Nintendo can disregard the competition and do all the whacky stuff they can think of. But to be precise, Nintendo did release a brand-new console. Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. So, anyone who wants one should go and get it; before the scalpers strike again. BIBLIOGRAPHY BARKER, S.: UK Scalper Group Claims It’s Snagged 3,500 PS5 Consoles.
