From the Paper
"These cut-away shots, in addition to telling the story, serve a purpose in the video-making process. Continuity editing, often seen in television and movies to establish fluidity of motion through an entire world, can be seen in some of the shots of people walking toward the store where people are gathering. However, the rest of the video seems to use brief clips consisting of only a few seconds at a time. This process, Carol Vernallis explains, is a music video technique used to keep the video story from overtaking the importance of the song (28). Vernallis explains that the most frequently seen setting for a woman in a music video is a domestic one (82). These videos do not place the singer in such a role; however, some of the dissatisfied women in the second video are seen in this setting."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that Celine Dion has spent her lifetime making music. She has been a successful performer who has, somehow, not lost sight of her responsibilities in her stardom. The writer maintains that although not the superstar she once was, her work has matured. The writer discusses that Celine has remained popular and admired by her fans, perhaps because of her image, rather than despite it. This paper examines her work through two of her videos and two of her songs.
From the Paper
"Celine Dion wanted to be a singer from early childhood, when she started her career by singing in her parents' piano bar. She has recorded music both in French and in English, she has undergone changes in her physical style and in her musical genres. And yet, through all of the changes that she has made, she has managed to remain true to her origins. She remains a primarily francophone (French-speaking) performer, who retains her Canadian identity. Celine has not been entirely without criticism. She has frequently been criticized for the musical themes of her albums, which have sometimes been ..."

" The VDL Research House, located at 2300 E. Silver Lake in Los Angeles, was built twice. The first version was designed by Richard Neutra and completed in 1933 as a home for his family. After a fire destroyed all of the main building in 1963, Neutra and his son, architect Dion Neutra, rebuilt the house in a somewhat altered form. The current version of the house continued many basic design elements from the first, but was larger and expanded on many of the ideas inherent in the first design.
The house was first designed by Neutra when a Dutch industrialist, C. H. Van Der Leeuw (hence, VDL) visited Los Angeles "especially to see Neutra's work" (Sack 40). According to Neutra, Van Der Leeuw was shocked, after a tour of some of Neutra's projects, to find that Neutra did not have a home of his.."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Plato disagreed with the Athenian oligarchy and saw in Dion a chance to impose his philosopher king, by teaching him the tenants of good governing that he had learned from Socrates. When Dion and Dionysus had a major disagreement, Plato sought to bring the family members into amicable relations. The paper explains that Dionysus II, however, had fooled Plato into coming to Syracuse, essentially confining him there so that he could not correspond with Dion.
From the Paper
"Plato is one of western civilizations most important philosophers. He is often cited as being a crucial point in the development of critical and logical thought in the Greek classical milieu and he provides a basis for understanding how one analyzes life through reasoning and dialogue. His birth can tell us much about where he lived and in what type of culture he was raised within: Plato, born in Athens around 427 BC, was considered to be one of the earliest philosophers. He lived during the Age of Synthesis. After his father's death his mother married a friend of Pericles so he was politically connected to both the oligarchy and democracy. After the Peloponnesian War, his mother's brother and uncle tried to persuade him to join the oligarchical rulers of Athens ("Plato's Life" para.1)."

Abstract
The paper asserts that the way nurses dress for work today make them difficult to define from the janitor at many hospitals ("Nurses Uniforms Past and Present", 2008). The paper discusses how the decline of professional dress could possibly represent a decline in nursing care. The paper explains that the old school of thought regarding nursing uniforms is that "we are what we wear." The paper notes that there are intense debates on the issue of nurse uniforms, but the reality is that the decline of dress has nothing to do with the quality of nursing care (Dion and Puett, 2004).

From the Paper
"The preparation of 1-phenyl-3-phenylaminopyrrolidine-2,5-dione 5, a fused-ring heterocycle, is described. The synthesis of maleanilic acid 3, was completed with the reaction of maleic anhydride 1 with aniline 2. The resulting product maleanilic acid 3 was reacted with acetic anhydride to produce N-phenylmaleimide 4. N-phenylmaleimide 4 was then reacted with aniline 2 to produce 1-phenyl-3-phenylaminopyrrolidine-2,5-dione 5. The purification of all three compounds maleanilic acid 3, N-phenylmaleimide 4, and 1-phenyl-3-phenylaminopyrrolidine-2,5-dione 5 was achieved through filtration. The product maleanilic acid 3 was high in yield with 84.4% being recovered. N-phenylmaleimide 4 was mediocre in yield with only 68.0% being recovered. The final product, 1-phenyl-3-phenylaminopyrrolidine-2,5-dione 5,was high in yield with 85.8% obtained. The experiment was successful with the products being identified as maleanilic acid 3, N-phenylmaleimide 4, and 1-phenyl-3-phenylaminopyrrolidine-2,5-dione 5. The compounds were identified as such through their melting points, and spectral information obtained from IR, and 1H NMR."

Abstract
In this paper, the author argues that, contrary to what is often assumed, Broadway has become more populist, not less. The author argues that, in spite of the spiraling cost of tickets to Broadway shows, the shows pander to the least demanding, most pedestrian of artistic sensibilities.
From the Paper
"It might be logical to surmise that because Broadway ticket prices have reached the dizzying heights of, say, tickets for major league baseball and football's better seats-in the neighborhood of $100 a ticket-the Broadway stage is becoming less populist, pricing theatergoers out of the velveteen seats. However, the opposite is closer to the truth. The higher those ticket prices go, the more populist the Broadway theater becomes."
