Commander Shepard is the customizable player character in the Mass Effect video game series. Players can choose Shepard's appearance traits like gender and skin tone, allowing for diverse representation. The games take place in the 22nd century after humans discover Prothean technology enabling interstellar travel. As Commander, players navigate galactic politics and shape diplomatic relations between species while pursuing romantic relationships. The games include themes of gender and racial diversity but also stereotypes. The Krogan were uplifted by the Salarians then subjected to sterilization by a genetic weapon when they became too numerous. Mass Effect explores issues of diversity, oppression, and what it means to be human in a science fiction setting.

2) Titanic stands out as the sole romance/disaster film in the top 10 and has the most unique genre compared to the others.
3) Horror films are less successful than other genres, with Jaws ranked at #54, but remakes of classic horror films have proven lucrative despite mixed reviews. Franchises like Saw and remakes are a safer bet than original horror.

The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of setting up a wholly owned subsidiary (WOS) versus a joint venture (JV) when entering a new market. Some key advantages of a JV include sharing risks and costs with a partner, gaining local knowledge, and having a greater chance of success if both partners feel it is mutually beneficial. However, JVs can be difficult to manage due to needing to build trust between partners and the risk of a partner having a hidden agenda. Some advantages of a WOS include full control over strategy and operations, but it also means bearing all financial risks alone. The best choice depends on weighing these various factors given each company's situation.

Who Are The Nightstalkers? The elite unit that does what?
Nightstalkers are the elite Special Ops unit that take care of the things that go bump in the night; and worse. They correct the mistakes of scientists. They’re also a little bit crazy and a long way outside the bell curve, and not necessarily on the good end.
In essence they are The Unit for Warehouse 13.
What are the conventions of the superhero genre
Superheroes typically have superpowers that they use to fight crime and protect people from supervillains like the Joker for Batman. They usually have a secret identity with a costume and name to prevent their friends and family from being targeted. Common conventions include having extraordinary abilities and technology, being reluctant to kill, having a hidden base, and gaining their powers from a tragic past event or accident. They also typically have weaknesses like Kryptonite for Superman.

The document discusses how the Nation of Islam empowered black Americans during a time of oppression by using Islam as a symbol of beauty and power, in contrast to Christianity which was seen as a white man's religion, though the same faith has been accused of oppressing Muslim women by masking their beauty and freedom. It questions how two oppressed groups, black people and women, found such different outcomes from practicing Islam, and recognizes the need to differentiate between the Nation of Islam and other sects of the Islamic faith.
Genesis Fake (Fantasy) Quiz Finals 2019
The document contains questions from a quiz on movies, books, TV shows and video games. It includes questions that can be answered with names like Maledictus, Luna Lovegood, Ready Player One, Nightmare on Elm Street, Jabba the Hut, and Riverrun. Other questions are about fictional places like Tatooine, Pandora, Neverland and Pallet Town. The questions test knowledge on characters, plots and references across popular culture.
Detective Fiction
The document discusses the characteristics of protagonists in detective fiction. It notes that early protagonists were often detectives, but later expanded to include other occupations like policemen or reporters. Regardless of occupation, protagonists typically embark on a journey of discovery to solve a mystery or recover something lost, facing dangers and challenges along the way requiring special skills or knowledge. This follows the archetype of heroes in classic mythology. The document then focuses on how hard-boiled protagonists, emerging in the early 20th century US, took on a more populist and pragmatic tone reflective of American frontier culture, speaking in plain language and displaying physical toughness.
High Fantasy
Here are some key dystopian elements I found in The Giver and a potential thesis:
1. The community is highly structured and hierarchical, with citizens assigned roles. "It was Assignment Day." Everyone wears the same plain clothes.
2. Conformity is strictly enforced. Jonas notices differences but knows "it was not right to see more, or differently." Dissent is not tolerated.
3. Emotions are suppressed. Citizens take daily pills to blunt feelings. Memories are controlled by the Committee and Giver.
4. Constant surveillance through public address system and Assignment of labor. No sense of privacy.
5. Protagonist Jonas begins to question the strict rules of the community as he learns

Gendering Hatsune Miku: Networked Gender and the Co-Construction of Identity ...Dominican University
This document discusses the gender identity of Hatsune Miku, a virtual pop star character. It notes that while Miku was programmed without an explicit gender, her feminine attributes and the discourse around her from both news media and fans reinforce her as a gendered female figure. The document analyzes Miku as an example of "networked gender" where identity is negotiated socially online. It concludes that Miku's gendered coding helps make her seem real to audiences, and suggests this could inform how human-like artificial agents are perceived.Creativity, Connectivity and Community in Virtual World Television
This document discusses virtual world television (VWTV) produced in Second Life. It defines VWTV as user-generated content recorded before live audiences or in the field, influenced by traditional TV genres. The document presents case studies of four Second Life VWTV producers, examining how Second Life facilitates creativity and connectivity while producers seek to build community. It compares VWTV to traditional TV, noting similarities in desires to connect, create, and commune, but differences due to Second Life's technological structures and lack of industry. The document argues VWTV is an example of how virtual worlds permit the transgression of traditional audience roles and power dynamics through user-generated production and distribution.

The Positioning of Pooky
The Web 2.0 paradigm has brought more attention to the idea of Internet-based interactive television, where the audience is allowed and encouraged to participate in and interact with television production. This paper focused on virtual worlds as a Internet-based platform within which people experiment with how to produce such egalitarian television programming. For this paper, virtual worlds television is seen through the experiences of one virtual worlds entrepreneur, Pooky Amsterdam, and how she positions herself as a producer of virtual worlds television in relationship to the users or audiences of her shows. The analysis considered her comments on how she positioned herself against the traditional power dynamics of television broadcasting paradigms by positioning herself as an entrepreneur in a new(er) power dynamic. Thus, her positioning of herself relates to how she endorses the Web 2.0 paradigm as a user herself of virtual worlds technologies.
Answering the Whats, Hows, and Whys of Film Spectatorship
From the 2013 SCMS conference: I am here today to offer up some preliminary thoughts about approaching the study of how spectators engage with films. This presentation comes from an interest we have in trying to understand how spectators make sense of films and what leads to differences and similarities in the reception of the same film. In today’s presentation, I will address the cognitive and affective theoretical approaches to film spectatorship and reception that informed our approach, as well as the apparent lack of studying the actual reception processes. I will then outline the method that was designed to measure the moment-by-moment or minutia reception process, as well as discuss a pilot project to employ this method, and I will conclude with our thoughts for applications of this method.
Virtual World Television in Second Life
1) Virtual world television (VWTV) is user-generated content produced by amateurs in virtual worlds like Second Life and recorded before live audiences.
2) Interviews with VWTV producers in Second Life highlighted the importance of connectivity with other professionals, creative freedom in the virtual world, and a sense of community.
3) While there are similarities to traditional television like the importance of connections and creativity, VWTV differs in allowing producers to realize their visions without limitations of the physical world and facilitating more interaction with audiences.
Men and their engagements with stereotypically feminine media
A more detailed analysis and discussion of a specific subset of interviews from my dissertation: men who engaged with media meant for women, and what led them to do so.
Once upon a time, Ms. Player got addicted...and survived to tell the tale
This is an experimental research paper relaying women's stories, gathered with Sense-Making Methodology interviews, of times they felt they were addicted to video games. My analysis, and thus the framing for this paper's "narrative", focuses on the dynamics of power in and around the women's lives during this period of addiction.

How do people make sense of a novel situation, such as engaging with a media product you've never used before? If that media product is a virtual world, then it appears people will make a bridge between the virtual and the physical -- by using metaphors to compare their experiences in the virtual world to those from the physical world.Comics Adaptations and True Believers

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
