XFL †What the Hell? Essay -- Argumentative Persuasive Sports paperes

XFL – What the Hell? Vince McMahon is at it again. Vince McMahon, the head of the World Wrestling Federation, is trying to work his marketing wizardry by establishing a new professional football league, the XFL. This extreme football league with all-access media coverage, hard-hitting action, and fast-paced wide-open offense is supposed to be the next great entertainment frenzy. I, for one, think this league will be flop after a season or two for many reasons such as lack of fan interest, poor quality players, and lack of real football. Vince McMahon’s WWF is a multi-million dollar corporation and has been wildly successful in capturing the sports entertainment market. â€Å"Monday Night Raw,† the weekly soap opera on TNN, is one of the three most watched cable shows each week. In addition, the WWF has weekly wrestling shows on UPN and MTV. Personally, I am caught up in the phenomenon. I set aside my Monday evenings to watch Monday Night Football and professional wrestling. I enjoy attempting to figure out the storylines before they unfold and attempt to guess the action that may happen in the next segment. Surprisingly, many Americans share my point of view and enjoy this sort of entertainment. The WWF’s core market personality is an American male, between the ages of 12-35, very similar to professional football. The WWF provides high flying action, crushing hits, and exciting finishes; not much different than the NFL. Vince McMahon is attempting to extend the short NFL season and capture America’s passion for football while marketing more of his merchandise - not the best business idea in my view. The XFL is to begin play the week after the Super Bowl, Saturday, February 3, 2001. The league will be comprise... ...e McMahon will spend millions of dollars in a campaign to draw fan interest and support and very little return on investment will occur. Yes, the first season may be successful with the â€Å"all-access† view of football and little outside sporting competition. However, America will soon recognize that the XFL games have poor quality talent and that it is just Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol trying to make a few extra bucks at the expense of the American public. I believe that this league will fold after its second season. As an accountant and an economist, I wish Vince and Dick the best of luck in marketing this gem. I hope they are able to make the XFL profitable and possibly change the face of competitive sports with the flare the WWF provides. However, they will have to do so without one avid football and professional wrestling fan supporting their endeavor, ME!

Film Comparative Analysis

Film Comparative Analysis â€Å"The general response following the screening was a distinct realization that nobody is above the law, and that the stereotypes associated with the â€Å"cono† nearly left Larranaga guilty as mistakenly charged. † (Syjuco, 2012) There is no justice, when innocent men are in jail; this is the main idea that the two films have in common. With this, let us ask ourselves, â€Å"Is there really something wrong with the Philippine and Texas justice system? Are we to admit that it is a corrupt system that we have? These two films will leave our eyes wide opened to the truth or if not, to the flaws and corruptions in the justice system, not only of our own country, but also that of the others. I. Background Give Up Tomorrow The documentary film is about a Filipino-Spanish student named Paco Larranaga, who was sentenced to death in 2004 for the double murder and rape of Chiong sisters (Marijoy and Jacqueline) in 1997. This is the story of what we now know as the Chiong Murder Case, a cebu scandal of the century.Two Chiong sisters go missing on July 16, 1997. Larranaga was one, along with six other suspects who was pinpointed by the state witness, David Rusia. David Rusia is a convicted felon and was sentenced to prison twice in the United States for other crimes. As claimed by Rusia, he was with Larranaga in Ayala Center, Cebu early in the evening of July 16, that evening Larranaga says that he was at R&R Restaurant in Quezon City with his friends; such fact was proven by photographs and the testimonies of his friends.The defense presented thirty-five witnesses, including Larranaga’s teachers and classmates at the Center for Culinary Arts (CCA) in Quezon City, who all testified under oath that Larranaga was in Quezon City, when the crime is said to have taken place in Cebu. The trial court considered these testimonies irrelevant, rejecting these as coming from â€Å"friends of the accused,† and were not admitte d. The following are also evidences presented by the defense during trial — a)Larranaga, at that time was at a party at the R&R Restaurant along Katipunan Avenue, Quezon City, and stayed there until early morning the following day. )After the party, the logbook of the security guard at Larranaga's condominium indicates that Larranaga returned to his Quezon City condominium at 2:45 a. m. c)Rowena Bautista, an instructor and chef at the culinary center, said Larranaga was in school from 8 a. m. to 11:30 a. m. and saw him again at about 6:30 p. m on July 16. d)The school’s registrar, Caroline Calleja, said she proctored a two-hour exam where Larranaga was present from 1:30 p. m. Larranaga attended his second round of midterm exams on July 17 commencing at 8 a. m. Only then did Larranaga leave for Cebu in the late afternoon of July 17, 1997. )Airline and airport personnel also came to court with their flight records, indicating that Larranaga did not take any flight on Jul y 16, 1997, nor was he on board any chartered aircraft that landed in or departed from Cebu during the relevant dates, except the 5 p. m. PAL flight on July 17, 1997 from Manila to Cebu The aforementioned evidences did not prevent the conviction of Larranaga along with his six co-accused. The trial court judge, after rendering judgment against them, was found dead in a hotel in Cebu, and allegedly committed suicide.This unexpected event during the Chiong murder case was proven in the film to be part of the whole scheme of putting the blame on Larranaga, and concealing the truth of the facts with regard to the murder and rape of the Chion sisters. Larranaga, along with the other co-accused were sentenced to death, and appealed later on, but all of them were denied. Considering the Filipino-Spanish nationality of Larranaga, his family asked for help from the Spanish government. In September 2009, the Department of Justice approved Larranaga's transfer to a Spanish prison.Thelma Chiong , the mother of the victims, expressed shock over the decision, saying that, despite Larranaga's Spanish citizenship, â€Å"If you committed a crime in the Philippines, you are jailed in the Philippines,† despite the fact that this would constitute a breach of the treaty and thus of international law. Larranaga, escorted by two Spanish Interpol agents, left for Spain on October 6, 2009. His good behavior at the New Bilibid Prison was taken into consideration, and he will serve the rest of his sentence at the Madrid Central Penitentiary at Soto del Real. The Thin Blue LineThe film is an investigation into the 1976 murder of Dallas police officer Robert Wood. Harris testified that Adams had shot and killed Wood after their car had been pulled over on their way home from a movie. Adams claimed to know nothing of the murder, insisting that Harris had dropped him at his home two hours before it occurred. Local authorities believed Harris, and witnesses corroborated his story, lead ing to Adams’ conviction and a death sentence, (which was later on changed). Randall Adams recalls the events in detail: after running out of gas, he had been picked up by Harris in a stolen car.The two had gone to a movie where they drank beer and smoked marijuana, and this was the extent of their relationship. David Harris, on the other hand, also recalls the events of the evening in detail, but creates a much different impression. Adam’s defense attorneys thought that Harris was the killer, pointing to his past criminal record and other crimes committed the night of the murder. The film presents a series of interviews about the investigation and reenactments of the shooting, based on the testimony and recollections of Adams, Harris, and various witnesses and detectives. Two attorneys who epresented Adams at the trial where he was convicted of capital murder also appear: they suggest that Adams was charged with the crime despite the better evidence against Harris bec ause, as Harris was a juvenile, Adams alone of the two could be sentenced to death under Texas law. II. Similarities and Differences The two films both dealt on the fact that there is a corrupt justice system. That even an innocent man can be put into jail all for the sake of concealing the truth. This idea is very obvious in the films presented, that even a man of little knowledge with the law will doubt the guilt of both, Larranaga and Adams.The idea brought up by the filmmakers of both was a frame up or cover up which lead to the conviction of innocent people. The very controlling authorities in both were the police officers, the judge, and other executive officers of the government and to add, the media, influencing the course of the trial and the impression of the masses on the suspects. In both, police authorities were overwhelmed with the idea of having someone to put the blame for the murder of the victims. They were like heroes of the public for having solved the case and f ound a suspect. In which, it is very obvious that it was politically motivated.As one of the differences between the case of Larranaga and Adams, is that of having exhausted all administrative remedies. Larranaga, after being convicted in the trial court, appealed to the Supreme Court, but was not able to attain a favourable judgment. After such, taking into consideration of the dual citizenship of Larranaga, they asked for the help of Spanish government so that the death penalty be withdrawn and let him be transferred in Spain where he will serve his sentence. This however paved the way for the abolishment of death penalty by former Pres.Gloria Arroyo and the approval of Larranaga’s transfer. The cases of Larranaga and Adams both involved rights which were violated. As declared under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the following are those evidently violated in the course of the whole trial of the case, (a) Article 11, par. 1, (b) Article 9 and (c) Article 1 0. †¢Article 11, par. 1 Everyone charged with a penal offense has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.In light of this article which pertains to the right of an accused to be presumed innocent, Larranaga was outrightly charged as a criminal in the minds of the people, especially those of the Cebuanos, even before a trial was held. Aggravating this situation was the participation of the media from the start up to the end of the case, tagged as the â€Å"trial of the decade†. The impressions that were made by the police authorities and the media, contributed to the image of Larranaga as guilty of the crime charged.His identity was corroborated as a rich bad boy/gangster from a prominent family, in which the people presumed that they will make use of their resources to pay for witnesses and manipulate the whole case and avoid prosecution. As to the case of A dams, he was made fit to the image of a cop-killer as compared to Harris. The prosecution relied on the testimony of Harris that it was Adams who killed Wood, even before the start of the case, they knew already who to convict. The fact that Harris was a juvenile that time, made it more likely for Adams to commit the crime thus moving away from the presumption of his innocence. Article 9 No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile. The course of Larranaga’s arrest came swift and unexpected and appeared to him as kidnapping. The people who arrested him were all in civilian clothes, though they looked like policemen. They did not identify themselves when they arrested Larranaga, until they were asked by Larranaga’s sister. They unlawfully arrested Larranaga due to absence of warrant of arrest, in defense, they said that he committed a continuing crime.As to Adams’ case, he was taken into the custody of the police few days after the commission of the crime. He was forced to sign a document containing an admission that he was the one who murdered Wood. The policeman even threatened him with a pistol if he will not sign it. There is no sufficient cause for his guilt. †¢Article 10 Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.The right to a fair and speedy trial was not accorded to Larranaga, first, the media had participated a lot in drawing the image of Larranaga as the criminal. The judge also showed his impartiality which was really unexplainable. After having refused to accept the testimonies of witnesses of Larranaga, preventing him to take the witness stand and rendered a judgment of double life imprisonment, the judge was found in a hotel dead. Through the series of events that had transpired, the fairness and impartiality of the trial cannot be said to be pres ent.As in the case of Adams, it cannot be said to have been a fair trial for him because the prosecution presented fake witnesses, in which the conviction was based. There is a biased judgment and inconsideration on the merits of the case. Adams was not able to defend himself, such conviction of him was predicated on the failure of his defense lawyer to clearly establish his innocence albeit all the frame-ups that had transpired.

Media Bias And Its Impact On Society - 932 Words

For the majority of history, newspapers have reported hard facts. Newspapers were a trusted source that society depended on to form their own opinion. More than ever, today it seems to be more difficult to find facts or truth. Just on that statement two significant and impactful questions are raised. Why is there so much bias and discrepancies between reporting and why is society fine with this? Anyone who pays attention to the reporting that is going on, they would notice the first question, but do not take it a moment to question why the public or themselves allow it. This all ties back to newspapers because they are beginning of this disaster. Although there hundreds of colleges and universities offer reporting degrees, these two questions are the heart of the matter and affecting society negatively. The daily activity of reading and watching any news outlet becomes filled with garbage. This garbage, of course, is media bias. It is ironic that every media outlet will call out the other side, yet committing exactly the same sin at that very moment. This is dreadful for the audience or the public because one has no idea what is going on or is true. Paul Farhi, Washington Post, points out, â€Å"Meanwhile, just about every new poll of public sentiment shows that confidence in the news media has hit a new low. Seventy-seven percent of those surveyed by the Pew Research Center in the fall said the media â€Å"tend to favor one side† compared with 53 percent who said so in 1985.† ThisShow MoreRelatedDoes Racial Bias Affect The Lives Of Americans?

Response One to “Criteria of Negro Art” Essay - 717 Words

Response One to â€Å"Criteria of Negro Art† W. E. B. Dubois’s Criteria of Negro art leaves me with mixed feelings. At times I find his arguments compelling, at others bitter, dichotomous, and overly idealistic, yet throughout I find oftentimes found his prose refreshingly clear and at times even beautiful. In addition, the essay seems to have a sense of urgency to achieve a purity of expression, an external form to manifest the internal latent â€Å"Beauty in Black,† an ideal to my mind at least, reminiscent of the ancient Greeks who sought to emulate the metaphysical archetypes of truth, beauty, and goodness. Nevertheless, then as now, art is also business, fraught with financial constraints and racial biases to this day. While Dubois†¦show more content†¦So, while he seems to allow for such aesthetic dichotomy within himself, het appears to demand otherwise from artists of his own ethnic origins. The aforementioned are perhaps his most compelling arguments consist of the fact that, yes, race with its often concurrent circumstances, can and do limit options not only for the artist but art appreciation. Secondly, I think he is right when he relates the ultimate futility of materialism; however, I doubt that African-Americans, by virtue of the past, are any less susceptible to these phenomena than their white counterparts. Indeed, even when the United States elected an African-American President, while a turning point in American history, it didn’t automatically herald a Golden Age of enlightenment. If anything it was an anticlimax; it merely revealed that revealed people are not their skin colors; and that we still have the same issue no matter what race or gender resides in the oval office.

After graduating from high school, I was accepted into my city’s medical school and started my career as a physician.

Even though I had to start from zero, I want to pursue my dreams no matter the time it takes.

Question: Discuss about theEnterprise Information Management. Answer: Introduction: Recently, organizations are dealing with a huge explosion of information. Organizations are required to staunchly manage and save these large amounts of data, daily. Enterprise Information Management, also called EIM is used to term a business discipline which unifies various theories of content management, business intelligence technique, and enterprise integration so as to reorganize the information for better management, storage, and handling (Lam Taylor, 2016). Multi-Enterprise Master Data Management Master Data denotes the basic entities for a specific enterprise like accounts, suppliers, consumers, etc. Master Data Management (MDM) is the theory which incorporates business with IT so that continuity, uniformity, and accuracy of master data which is associated with the organization can be maintained (Gartner, 2012). Master Data Management consists of processes, tools, standards, policies, and governance which uniformly explains and manages an organizations core data for providing an individual reference point. The data comprises of both analytical data and reference data. Multi-enterprise Master Data Management provides support for master data management via deletion of duplicates, mass maintenance, and implementing rules for elimination of improper data being provided to the system. This creates an authentic master data source. The main objective of MDM is to provide processes for collection, aggregation, consolidation, quality-assurance, persistence, and distribution of data a ll throughout an organization so that control and consistency is ensured. It is an exclusive process of helping an enterprise link all the critical data into one single file which provides a reference point. MDM simplifies data sharing between departments and personnel. Additionally, MDM streamlines computing across various system applications, platforms, and architectures. MDM can be defined as the theory of specialized quality improvement via policies and procedures which have been implemented by the organization. The main goal of MDM is to provide the user with a single true file on which the management will base their decisions. MDM ensures that the organization doesnt utilize various versions of one file in various operations. MDM can also be defined to be a technology-centric discipline which combines IT and business so that accountability, semantic consistency, stewardship, accuracy, and uniformity can be ensured for an enterprises data asset. Master Data is uniform and consi stent all throughout. It is an uniform and consistent identifier set and enhanced attributes which explains the basic components of an enterprise such as accounts, hierarchies, sites, suppliers, employees, opportunities, and the consumers. One specific master data source consists of 3 important abilities, namely, an authorized information sources, the capability to consistently utilize the information, and the capability to be parallel with the transformation of the business requirements, in regards to MDM. An integrated compilation of services might be created in regards to the specific piece of data in regards to the analytical applications and business processes. Additionally, effective business operations are enabled via the 3 abilities which have been explained. The authenticated and authoritative data sources make sure the data is redundancy and duplicity free and it follows a standardized structure (Dreibelbes, 2016). Gartner has described numerous theories and technologies which can be used for EIM with the help of Hype Cycle, that has been depicted below. Figure 1 - Hype Cycle (Ronthal and Simoni, 2015) Working There are numerous stages of application for a multi-enterprise MDM methods and techniques. They are The first step is Identification of data sources from all exterior levels and from all throughout the enterprise. These might comprise of both unstructured and structured data. The second step is Identification of data consumers and producers is performed so that the data sources can be understood properly. The third step is Collection and analysis of master datas metadata is performed via analysis of data so that all associated attributes can be understood. The fourth step is Appointment of data stewards is performed so that the collected data can be analyzed and the various associated operations can be managed. The fifth step is Implementation of information and data governance is performed so that authority is given at the administrative, legislative, judicial, and executive levels to the data management is performed correctly. The sixth step is Development of a Master Data Model is done. It is created at a multi-enterprise level which is developed in regards to the approval of all involved parties. Additionally, it includes the analysis results, too. The seventh step is Specific set of tools are used for the creation of master lists by performing various operations on them. These tools are generally divided into 2 classes Production Information Management (PIM) Customer Data Integration (CDI) The eight step is an infrastructure is created. Then, the master data is tested via various equipment and tools that were previously chosen. The ninth step is A process of maintenance is performed afterwards so that additional activities can be maintained (Wolter and Haselden, 2016). Components MDM accomplished the 5 basics of management of enterprise level information and data that has been depicted below Data Migration Master Data consists of data which is amassed from various diverse sources and is transferred to a single location. The data is cleaned effectively so that all kinds of inconsistencies, redundancies, and duplicities can be removed from all the sets of data. Data Integration Each organization has their own methodology and information architecture which is customizable. The Multi-enterprise MDM incorporates the whole sets of data in a single unit which is well-suited with the organizations architecture. Data Maintenance Synchronization of data definitions and business objectives with multi-enterprise MDM makes sure that any modifications are correctly and accurately reflected and data consistency is maintained throughout. Data Quality Assurance Multi-enterprise MDM comprises of various quality measures for maintaining data quality. Data Retention Multi-enterprise MDM employs constant effort for management of data by saving essential data and deleting non-essential and unnecessary data. Key Benefits Master Data Edits With the assistance of MDM and its related features, Master data modification can be performed. Sometimes, it might happen that modification made in one data copy might not be shown in other data copies. This might cause discrepancies and inconsistence which might be quite fatal. MDM ensures that these situations do not take place and updates records via master data modifications. Effective Data Analysis With the assistance of irredundant and clean data, best data analysis results can be achieved. This might not be possible if unreliable or duplicate data is present. Removal of redundancy For high volumes of data, redundancy is quite common since data is collected from various sources. A major advantage of multi-enterprise MDM is the fact that redundancy of data is fully removed and maintenance of coherence is present all throughout. Various Platforms When various businesses and enterprises are involved, there are various platforms present, too. MDM permits data access and availability across various platforms like online, physical, cloud, etc. Flexibility MDM permits immense data flexibility as operations like modifications, storage, changes, etc. Are quite easy to manage and perform. Easy and timely Backup Centralized sources of data are used for multi-enterprise MDM so that data backup is performed frequently and the data backup is saved securely in case a severe attack takes place. Key Data Users have the capability to make decision regarding the data which will be fed and the data that will be deleted. This permits accomplishment of needs of the business. Authoritative Data MDM provides an authentic information source and a reliable base for all types of business operations which are performed. Access Based Roles For multi-enterprise MDM, access privileges and rights is provided according to the individuals role within the master data. It permits better management of access and maintains data and information privacy and security. High Usability and Business Efficiency The 2 prime conditions for consumers and business operators are efficiency and usability. Multi-enterprise MDM provides both business efficiency and increased usability which results in satisfied consumers and employees. Logical Data Warehouse (LDH) The 2nd technology and concept which is used for enterprise information management is the application and utilization of logical data warehouses (Russom, 2016). The architectural layer which is layered on top of the organizations normal data warehouse which consists of continuous data is known as a logical data warehouse. This layer permits the business analysts and executives to observe the stored data without any requirement of data relocation and transformation, prior to observation. The logical data warehouse complements the traditional central data warehouse with capabilities which will progressively fetch and transform data. Components Repository Management This is a critical part of the Logical Data Warehouse which manages and maintains the enterprises data repository. Distributed Processes Various shared processes are available within the cloud and these are incorporated with the assistance of logical DATA warehouses. Auditing Statistics Services Accurate data accuracy and governance is permitted and handled. Management of Metadata Metadata from various external and internal sources is managed and maintained. Data Virtualization It permits virtual data integration for all the enterprise components. Essentials for EIM EIM has numerous demands which can be accomplished via the implementation of a logical data warehouse within the organizations structure and architecture. These demands are as follows Agility of enterprise an organizations capability to acquire and sense modifications which are required to incorporated and successfully attempt is known as enterprise agility. Logical data warehouse permits the enterprise to manage an excellent agility level since it offers a logical data view which is present at the organizations levels and allocations. Single view Corporations want a consistent and individual information view which is related to it in regards to information, suppliers, consumers, etc. Logical data warehouses offer this with extreme excellence and ease (Hensley, 2016). Satisfaction of customer an organization primary goal is maintenance and achievement of enhanced consumer satisfaction. This permitted via the utilization of logical data warehouses via effective data analysis, storage, and management. Real time Integration of real-time data is given across all interfaces and boundaries by permitting on-demand analysis via logical data warehouses. Advantages of Logical Data Warehouse Agility on all enterprise level Most of the new modifications and developments in regards to data attributes can be effectively managed via Logical DATA warehouses. Real-time analytics and queries is permitted via Logical DATA warehouses since it offers enhanced flexibility. Comprehensive Critical Data Assets View Organizations find it easier to have a combined data view, at all times. This is permitted via the logical DATA warehouses. Additionally, it permits multi-structured and unstructured data management and handling. Budget Effectiveness Logical DATA warehouses provides features which are cost-effective. Also, it permits optimized data administration Conclusion EIM or Enterprise Information Management is a critical element which is required by every organization. There are various concepts and technologies which have been initiated for achieving various tasks. Multi-enterprise MDM and Logical DATA warehouses are 2 methodologies which help in management of data and information at an enterprise level. There are various advantages which are provided via these methodologies in regards to cost effectiveness, agility, individual data view, cleansed data, and flexibility. Additionally, these permits the enterprise to accomplish its core business objectives in regards to customer satisfaction and competitive advantage. Additionally, various security mechanisms are present within these 2 methods. These permit the business officials to maintain data privacy and security, in addition to availability, integrity, and confidentiality. The advantages of MDM are enhanced as the organizations departments, employees, and applications are enhanced. Due to thi s reason, MDM is quite worthwhile for larger enterprises. In case of mergers, MDM helps in minimization of confusion, and optimization of efficiency of the newly amalgamated organization. References Compositesw (2016).Logical Data Warehouse | Cisco.
