Abstract: "Although Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-2013) is one of the most critically acclaimed TV Series of the last decade, it has been the subject of little academic research. This paper aims to figure out the motivations fueling Walter White’s behavior, one of the most compelling characters in contemporary popular culture.
The discovery of Walter White’s cancer serves as a catalyst (a particularly appropriate chemical term) for him to unveil his true ‘inner self’. The serious nature of his disease, the associated medical costs, and his feeling of failure as both a father/husband and in the professional sphere, are established as the driving force behind his infamous behavior from the very start of the series. However, beyond the strategies that underlie the initial sympathy that every viewer feels for this ‘ordinary American guy’, Breaking Bad divulges other keys that allow us to understand the transformation from ‘Mr Chips into Scarface’, following the premise described by Breaking Bad’s creator, Vince Gilligan.
As we will explore, the progressive moral and criminal decline of Walter White is spurred on by the contradictory tension between two radical emotions that become ‘rationalized’ in order to justify his actions, which become increasingly less defensible: an increasing pride, and the guilt that fades as the narrative unfolds. In summary, we will analyze the moral and narrative mechanisms that hasten Walter White’s self-destruction once he became aware that he was facing the end of his own life."
The DLP is designed to equip participants with the know- how and the strategic tools to enable them to effectively drive departmental performance. This includes examining a balanced approach to leading and directing automotive retail operations in a way that accommodates the three dimensional requirement of achieving optimum market penetration, providing exceptional levels of service and generating superior returns for the business.
El Houssaine Ichen offers disabled tourist guide services in Morocco. As someone who contracted polio as a child and uses leg braces and crutches for mobility, he understands the accessibility needs of disabled travelers. His mission is to develop a tourism business that helps disabled tourists access parts of Morocco they normally could not see. He is knowledgeable about Moroccan destinations and customs and can customize accessible tours combining sites, activities, and transportation. While wheelchair accessibility in Moroccan accommodations varies, he works to find suitable lodging options. He welcomes inquiries to explore Morocco's beauty together.
Ostkroft, "The EDISON Project," in Electric Vehicle Integration Into Modern P...Eamon Keane
This document discusses integrating electric vehicles into modern power networks. Key points include:
1) EVs can help meet 2020 EU targets for renewable energy, CO2 emissions reductions, and energy efficiency. Controlled charging can reduce strains on the electric grid.
2) Smart grids that balance production and load are needed as renewable energy sources increase. EVs offer potential as flexible consumption through controlled charging.
3) A demonstration project on the Danish island of Bornholm will test EV integration technologies like vehicle-to-grid, fast charging, and smart charging to balance renewable energy production and load. Bornholm is well-suited due to its high renewable energy use and single grid connection.
(1) The document discusses the positioning of Bosch's website in Chile. It provides background on Bosch Group and its presence in Latin America.
(2) It describes the project to position the Bosch website, including steps taken to optimize the site and increase traffic. This has helped position keywords and increased visits.
(3) Going forward, it recommends further optimizing content, focusing marketing efforts, and developing new sites for other Bosch divisions to continue improving website positioning.

ZoilRacing Independent AMSOIL Direct Dealer joining Timmerman Racing as a sponsor for 2014 and 2015. We have a great relationship in the past and felt it important to continue. Jason and Aaron are great spokemens for AMSOIL products and ZoilRacing. They are both high quaility winning racers.
This document discusses the potential for reducing the cost of solar photovoltaic energy to $1 per watt through a "Sunshot" initiative modeled after President Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the moon. It notes that while solar costs have declined, they remain higher than wholesale electricity costs. Achieving $1 per watt installation costs could make solar broadly cost competitive and accelerate the solar industry's growth to over 100 gigawatts annually within the next decade. However, significant technological advances would still be needed to reach that goal.
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated worldwide on April 22nd to support environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970 and is now coordinated globally in over 193 countries. On Earth Day 2016, the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change was scheduled to be signed by the US, China, and over 120 other countries. The signing would fulfill requirements for the agreement to take effect. Earth Day was founded by US Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in on April 22, 1970, and now involves events in over 141 nations coordinated by the Earth Day Network to raise awareness of environmental issues.
