Know your audience. All the best advice I received on writing essays in college came from non-English professors, as these people are the published masters of technical writing, not the would be novelists and poets which fill up the English department. And among the many things they taught me was to know your audience, even when it s an audience of one. You need to read your professor s interests, play on them if possible.
I teach people how to write essays (mostly my students, as I, are in the field of aviation but this applies to all essays), I have served as a reader and I give away my own award (mostly aviation in nature though.) The first thing I give them to get started is to break their essays into 3 sections. The 1st section is "Who you are" : Who are you? What have you accomplished? Your past essentially. A good thing to do also for this section is to list all your accomplishments. Now not everything will go into your essay but it s a good reference when you fill out the many applications you will be doing rather than picking out of your head each time. The 2nd section is "Where are you?" What I mean by that is Where are you student wise, professionally wise, volunteering wise, etc. Now you wrote some specifics in your question so you can plug those in these 3 sections. The 3rd section is "Where do you want to go?" This section is where you list your future aspirations. The more specific you are the better. It helps the reader know you are serious about your intended path rather than not really giving the scholarship or award much thought. The more you gear your essay toward what the scholarship / essay is asking the more you are in a good position to pass through to the "good" pile or candidate pile rather than the "bad" pile or the round file (if you know what I mean, if not.. the trashcan essentially) BIG BIG Deal is to follow directions!! Can t tell you how many times I read essays and they didn t follow directions. IF they say not to include videos, folders or you go off topic or some people have even begged.. this is Bad. I don t take the time. No matter how "special on the inside" the person is. They usually won t call you to find out more about you.your writing is what matters. Spell check is good too! Use it. Especially since you said writing is your major. One more thing (although there is much more about award pursuance I could elaborate on here). Writers Block! Yes, even writing majors get Writers Block. These two exercises I learned from my English teacher and they are excellent & simple. The 1st is a good exercise for describing and being more elaborate: Sit down (outside is best because there is more going on) and write exactly what you see. The trees, the flowers, the day, the cars, the people. as you start to write describe these items in more and more detail.then work on you, describe yourself, describe what you do, describe where your going (sound familiar) in more and more detail. The 2nd is a good exercise to clear the block: Sit down again and say everything that comes to mind..no matter if it s just a Bart Simpson rambling of I can t think of what to say, I can t think of what to write.etc etc. : ) Essentially you will sooner or later get bored with writing that over and over and your writing/ thinking will start saying.. Ok I need to start writing about myself, lets see, I am a 27 year old female who is interested in an English major because.. Well, Hope this information helps! Remember, A good essay, that explains who you are and a detailed what you want to do or answers the questions they ask and sticks to it.. detailed like, Will Win. Don t sound wishy, washy or say things that don t make you sound like you re strong and deserving of the award. When I write, I make it sound like I ve already won and that all they have to do is pick me - that comes with practice though. Also, have somebody read your essay. Good to catch mistakes and read your voice out of your writing. Good Luck in all you do! All the Best!

For your reading pleasureJan. 15th, 2017 12:05 am
As should be eminently clear by now, my introduction to fanfiction came about through the pleasure I took in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That has stuck with me for over eighteen years by now, and will doubtless last for quite a while to come. And I've enjoyed stories in other fandoms, especially since so many of the Buffyfic writers I followed were less single-minded than I am in their areas of interest, even while my primary allegiance remained fixed on the Sunnydale crew.
My first introduction to non-Buffy fanfic — the first I remember, anyway, and certainly the first I remember enjoying — was "Banging Your Head Against a Red-Haired Brick Wall" (X-Files) by Blair Provence. There have been other really good ones over the years; excellent examples include marylane23's "Hollywood Makeover" (Veronica Mars) and astolat's "Queen of Spades" (Casino Royale). Those are single-shots, though, and remembered pleasures, not anything to do with anything that's still going on …
An exception is Chris Dee's Cat Tales, a collection of Batman/
It's certainly been worth it for me.

While a math degree may not seem like a path to wealth at first glance, many fields are based almost entirely on a math foundation. For instance, both physics as well as engineering make use of algebraic formulas to determine motion and forces on objects, and the stress on materials. In business, financial accounting and stock investing count on the mathematical principle of compound interest over time. Math classes may be refocused toward practical applications, such as numerical analytics of big data online or statistical interpretation of scientific research results. Further, financial engineers or 'quants' may be called upon to prepare math-based reports for financial management, in order to develop high-speed, stock investment algorithms.
Finally, there is a lot of mathematical calculation behind complex decisions such as whether a business should raise money by issuing stock directly to the public as in the case of Google, or seek long-term loan financing? Both decisions involve quantification of risk and substantial probability analysis. A discount rate is used to determine the present value of the expected returns, and if a business anticipates being highly profitable in the short-term, it may be wiser to take out a bank loan, rather than dilute ownership via exanding the number of shares outstanding. Beyond major requirements within the mathematics department, you may consider LaSalle College online astronomy degree as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

某夜經過灣仔街市附近, 見到唐順興就忽然想買隻雞回家加餸。店內主要是賣雞, 有白切雞有鹽焗雞等等, 見到有款叫手撕土窯雞的, 見幾得意便買它。雞用錫紙包著, 店員問要不要代為斬雞, 胡裡胡塗便答應了。(但明明人家叫「手撕」雞的嘛, 斬什麼 ?)回家打開錫紙包後, 其實雞的樣子跟西式的燒雞沒有兩樣, 不過皮已經雖然不脆了, 但仍有惹味的香料味。以雞的大小而言肉地不薄, 當然以燒焗製法弄之肉質就不會太滑, 但也入味, 甚至連骨都有味。我會建議大家買回家後, 用焗爐稍為焗熱就會很好吃了。$50 平平地隻雞也吃的過啦。 繼續閱讀

Got two products from "Tang Shun Hing" packaged exclusively for 7-11.Although they are designed to be heated up and eaten at 7-11, it proves to be messy and a sticky task.The contents of the food are packed in a vacuumed sealed bag, with a plastic tray and a pair of gloves, you need to open the inner bag, empty the contents into the dish and simply microwave it.Hence very troublesome to carry out at your local 7-11, and also the tray is not really deep enough.I got the Lo Shui purely because it was pre-packaged, it horrifies me to get them from restaurants just hung by the windows with oil dripping off and flies buzzing around them.The Lo Shui mix contains duck wings, ducks feet, ducks liver, ducks gizzard, and peanuts, and the spring roasted chicken was just half of a spring chicken.I thought it would be a whole chicken, but it was just half a bird.After microwaving it, it was ready to eat.The Lo Shui mix was quite nice, although for the ducks feet and wings, it only contained one piece each.All of the items were quite soft, except for the duck's liver, which I was quite looking forward to, it probably got dehydrated during the heating process.The gizzards, which I do not usually eat, were the best that I have had, the texture was a bit like baby pork shanks.They were evenly sliced, not looking like shrivelled up gonads from Chinese medicine places.The only thing that let it down was the saltiness of all the lo shui items.As for the spring chicken, it just tasted ok. 繼續閱讀

Failures at a mental health unit gave a troubled young mother accused of murdering her four-year-old son the "opportunity and time" to commit suicide, an inquest jury ruled today.
Emma Manser, 24, was found with a ligature round her neck in her room at The Dene mental health facility for women in Hassocks, West Sussex, on July 17 last year.
Ms Manser, from Exeter, Devon, was admitted there after being charged with murdering her toddler son, Ryan Manser, and attempting to kill her mother, Wendy Richards, at her home in April 2007.
A three-day inquest heard there was no policy stating specific staffing levels per shift at The Dene, resulting in a shortage of staff on the day Ms Manser killed herself.
Returning a narrative verdict, the inquest jury of five women and three men noted that the "staff shortage resulted in observation care plans not being adhered to".
Jurors were told observations every five minutes in her room were not strictly observed, although they also heard she could have taken her life in two minutes.
The verdict, read at Haywards Heath Magistrates' Court, added: "The cumulative effect resulted in Emma Manser having the opportunity and time to end her life."
Ms Manser died from asphyxia caused by a self-applied ligature and her death was the result of "suicide beyond all reasonable doubt", the inquest heard.
Following the verdict, Ms Manser's father, Robert Manser, said that generally staff at The Dene looked after his daughter's wellbeing.
But he went on: "I have seen in this inquest that on the day Emma died there was a lack of communication in the ward and I'm concerned that the buck has been passed to a trainee in the hearing.
"It looks like the protection of my daughter from herself was not adequate on that day. I think the ward was understaffed. When Emma was well, she was a loving daughter and mum, and a joy to be with."

Jockey T.D. Houghton collects 5,000th victory at Thistledown
Jockey T.D. Houghton will always remember the day Orb won the Kentucky Derby. Some five hours before Orb rallied in the mud to win the 139th Derby at Churchill Downs, Houghton collected his 5,000th career victory at Thistledown.
Houghton reached the milestone when he rode the 7-year-old gelding Mambo Galliano ($3.20) to a 6 ½-length victory in a $4,000 claiming race with his first mount on Thistledown's card in race 2. He added victory number 5,001 with Storm Love ($6.40) in the first race on Saturday night's program at Mountaineer Racetrack.
In joining Calvin Borel as jockeys to hit 5,000 this season, Houghton, 43, ranks 27th on the all-time list. Just ahead of him is Borel at 5,012.
Houghton earned his 4,999th lifetime victory on Wednesday at Thistledown, and then went 0 for 5 Friday night at Mountaineer.
Houghton was a long-time dominant rider in Michigan, first at Detroit Race Course and later Great Lakes Downs and Pinnacle. When all of Michigan's tracks closed, he rode at Tampa Bay Downs and Hawthorne.
Twice, Houghton's long career was in jeopardy. Houghton sustained a brain injury during a spill at Great Lakes Downs in 2002. It took a year of therapy before he was able to resume riding.
In 2006, Houghton was among seven riders banned at Tampa following allegations of race fixing. Houghton has maintained his innocence and although never charged or indicted, he remains barred at Tampa and ineligible to obtain a license in Kentucky. He has ridden regularly at Mountaineer since 2009.

Fandometrics in Depth: The Defenders
Early this morning, in the weeist of hours, Netflix (@netflix) released a miniseries two years in the making: The Defenders. The show features four major characters that each starred in their own Marvel (@marvelentertainment) show: Daredevil (@daredevil), Jessica Jones (@jessicajones), Luke Cage (@lukecage), and Iron Fist (@marvelsironfist).
These four shows have had their time in the Fandometrics spotlight and the community around them is extremely dedicated. The excitement for the new series is nearly palpable. With all four characters on one show, The Defenders is set-up for success.
The Defenders, historically
The first series to debut was Daredevil on April 10, 2015, followed by Jessica Jones on November 20, 2015, Luke Cage on September 30, 2016, and Iron First on March 17, 2017.
With 16 appearances on our Television list, Daredevil has appeared on more lists than any other Defender, partially due to being the only series that had a second season run thus far. Jessica Jones has appeared eight times and Luke Cage twice. Iron Fist never made it onto a Fandometrics list. This could be attributed to the whitewashing controversy around the titular character's casting. Y i k e s.
The stars have appeared on our Celebrities list a number of times as well. Charlie Cox and David Tennant are tied with each appearing four times. Though David Tennant is beloved for his time as the Tenth Doctor, most of his rankings took place in late 2015, correlating with the release of Jessica Jones.
The Defenders, currently
We parsed data and perused our lists from the last six months to bring you the hottest, freshest numbers. Though Iron Fist was the most searched (120% more search volume than the next highest Defenders show) and most posted about (9% more search volume), Jessica Jones wins for most reblogged (3% more reblog volume). Daredevil, which fell into the number two spot for searches, original posts, and reblogs, had the most likes; 4% more than Iron Fist.
For your consideration
If you want to take your time with the new episodes, there's tons of stuff on Tumblr to sift through in between your binge-watching. May we suggest you start with:
- Elicia Donze (@euclase). This pop realist artist has dozens of amazing works, including Jessica Jones and Matt Murdock.
- Matt Murdock's Bizarre Adventures (@redringsideseats). It's chock full of commentary about everything Daredevil.
- Texts Between Defenders (@textsbetweendefenders), a fic series exploring iMessages sent between the superheroes. Dope.
And finally, don't forget to tag your spoilers, pals.

AbstractSapphire, and other hard brittle materials, are highly regarded as missile domes because of their high mechanical strength and thermal characteristics. Conventional finishing processes used to provide for the final configuration of the domes can be as much as 50 percent or more of the total cost. A new fabrication process for sapphire domes is proposed to reduce the cost of grinding from a scooped dome blank to a prepolished stage by 20 to 30 percent. Specialized sapphire grinding tools and abrasives will be integrated with the high speed, statistically controlled CIM prototype system currently in use at the University of Rochester. The OPTICAM System had already demonstrated a 20 to 30 percent reduction in the fabrication times for several common glasses. A new fabrication process for grinding a saphire dome to a prepolished condition will be developed and tested. We seek to prove that a similar time reduction can be achieved in sapphire. A second sapphire dome will be fabricated from a scooped blank to the same accuracy using conventional methods. These times will be used as a baseline for evaluation of the high speed technique.

Change edition
June 18, 2007 10:25 pm
Individual annuity sales in the first quarter of this year were $57.9bn, a 2 per cent increase over the first quarter of 2006, as companies continued to slash their defined benefits plans, and baby boomers sought retirement products with guaranteed payments, according to a new study.
Annuities – insurance contracts that provide income in return for an upfront, single premium or periodic payments – are typically purchased by investors saving for retirement. With a deferred annuity, investors may choose the point at which they convert the accumulated principal and earnings – or losses – in their contract to a stream of income.
Sales of annuities have grown steadily over the past two decades, with a slight decline during the bear market of 2000-02.
The study, by Limra International, a research organisation that works for global insurers and financial service companies, found that sales of variable annuities
– which are linked to the stock market – continued to grow with first-quarter sales of $42.1bn, up 8 per cent compared with the same quarter in 2006. This is just shy of the single-quarter record of $42.5bn set in the second quarter of 2006.
"A turbulent market is good for variable annuity sales," says Dan Beatrice, an analyst at Limra Retirement Research. "The guaranteed living benefit riders [which ensure the protection of the principal even when the market's
performance is less than stellar] help alleviate the risk factor of the market. A turbulent market that's going up is the best of all worlds for variables."
However, sales of fixed annuities, which are tied to the bond market, were down 12 per cent to $15.8bn as fixed-annuity sales struggled in this difficult interest rate environment. Fixed annuities include fixed-deferred annuities – fixed-rate and indexed annuities – immediate annuities and structured settlements.
"Very, very recently we've seen evidence that the long-term rates might be heading up. This is positive for fixed annuities," Mr Beatrice said, adding that there could be a turnround in sales in the second half of the year.
Limra, which used to stand for Life Insurance and Market Research Association, but now is a brand name, also reported that total deferred annuity assets grew 1.2 per cent during the first quarter of 2007 – reaching almost $2,000bn – the result of a strong stock market.
The study found that indexed annuities – which are designed to mirror the performance of a well-known index, such as the S&P 500 – had the largest percentage increase, rising 5.9 per cent to $109.1bn. Variable annuities grew 2 per cent to $1,400bn, while fixed-rate annuity assets fell 2.3 per cent, ending the quarter with $450.5bn. "In the first quarter, the story was the strong equity markets – investment earnings more than accounted for the asset growth," Mr Beatrice says.

The most beautiful country in the world – as voted by you
There's nothing like an amazing view to inspire you to book your next trip, whether you're drawn by rolling countryside, isolated islands or soaring mountain …
Scotland's Highland region, covering the northern two-thirds of the country, holds much of the mainland's most spectacular scenery. You may be surprised at just how remote much of it still is: the vast peat bogs in the north, for example, are among the most extensive and unspoilt wilderness areas in Europe, while a handful of the west coast's isolated crofting villages can still be reached only by boat. The only major city, Inverness, is best used as a springboard for more remote areas where you can soak in the Highlands' classic combination of mountains, glens, lochs and rivers, surrounded on three sides by a magnificently pitted and rugged coastline.
South of Inverness, the Strathspey region, with a string of villages lying along the River Spey, is dominated by the dramatic Cairngorm mountains, an area brimming with attractive scenery and opportunities for outdoor activity. The Monadhliath mountains lie between Strathspey and Loch Ness, the largest and most famous of the necklace of lochs which make up the Great Glen, an ancient geological fault line which cuts southwest across the region from Inverness to the town of Fort William. From Fort William, located beneath Scotland's highest peak, Ben Nevis, it's possible to branch out to some fine scenery – most conveniently the beautiful expanses of Glen Coe, but also in the direction of the appealing west coast, notably the remote and tranquil Ardnamurchan peninsula, the "Road to the Isles" to Mallaig, and the lochs and glens that lead to Kyle of Lochalsh on the most direct route to Skye. Between Kyle of Lochalsh and Ullapool, the main settlement in the northwest, lies Wester Ross, home to quintessentially west-coast scenes of sparkling sea lochs, rocky headlands and sandy beaches set against some of Scotland's most dramatic mountains, with Skye and the Western Isles on the horizon.
The little-visited north coast stretching from wind-lashed Cape Wrath, at the very northwest tip of the mainland, east to John O'Groats is even more rugged, with sheer cliffs and sand-filled bays bearing the brunt of frequently fierce Atlantic storms. The main settlement on this coast is Thurso, jumping-off point for the main ferry service to Orkney.
On the fertile east coast, stretching north from Inverness to the old herring port of Wick, green fields and woodland run down to the sweeping sandy beaches of the Black Isle and the Cromarty and Dornoch firths. This region is rich with historical sites, including the Sutherland Monument by Golspie, Dornoch's fourteenth-century sandstone cathedral, and a number of places linked to the Clearances, a poignantly remembered chapter in the Highland story.

As I mentioned above, Pixar films have gone down in quality as my opinion and as evidence from other sources such as Rotten Tomatoes. Perhaps this is because the industry has gotten bigger and there are better films out (that statement is based on popular opinion) or perhaps it is Pixar beginning to give up and lose its creativity.
For example, take the trailer for Pixar's newest film "Inside Out". (Here's a link if you haven't seen it. https://www.youtube.com...) The majority of the film is comprised of clips from their previous works. This gives me the impression that they are running out of ideas and are trying to remind viewers why they fell in love with their work in the first place.
Also, do you remember the film "Monster's Inc"? There is a scene in it where the character Sulley is lying in the snow and the viewers can see his fur moving with the wind. This was an amazing feat in animation at the time, which shows that Pixar knew how to break records and make film-making history. They were, after all, the first company to create a feature-length CGI film. However, their current films do not seem to be "changing the industry" so to speak in the same way that some of these older films did.
Once more, I think this is going to be a trend for Pixar. They will no longer be the dominating animation studio, but just another company that makes films that used to be great. This is something that has happened to actors, writers, and directors as well. It is only a matter of time before Pixar joins this group of once-greats.
Before starting, I'd like to mention the fact that our debate topic is rather, subjective. It'll be quite difficult presenting adequate evidence that'll be applicable in the scenario, so I'll cope by applying anything that would a) Make sense/seems logical. b) Negate your claim. Without further ado, I'll begin by pointing out a few flaws in your argument and provide rebuttals.
Pro mentions earlier that Pixar films, and I quote "no longer have the same emotion and originality of their previous pictures". It's an assertion in which no proof can be provided because, how does one simply measure a decrease in emotion and originality? It's all in the eyes of the viewers.
Viewer 1 may think a certain movie is superb and shows true depth and grace; Viewer 2 may think that same movie is overly sentimental and incompetent. It's your perception that truly dictates the greatness of a film. If you see life through the eyes of a skeptic, of course Pixar films can appear to be lacking. If you see life through the eyes of a credulous 10 year old however, a Pixar film can be just as noteworthy as The Breakfast Club.
To further support my claim, I will use myself as an example. I consider myself relatively skeptical when judging other people's work. After watching Toy Story 3, a Pixar film in which Pro claims to have been SUCCESSFUL in terms of emotion and creativity, I felt utter remorse for even attempting to watch the film. It was distasteful to me; the overall concept was overused and the line, (that caused the masses to break down in tears and agony) "So long, partner," irritated me for two weeks at most, because it was so cheesy. Now Pixar's recent film (which Pro claims to have deteriorated in quality) Brave, I liked a little better. I adored the fact that the protagonist walked past society's harsh norms, and did whatever she felt necessary by applying her definition of morality while doing so.
The point is, there is no proof that says Pixar has lost its touch, because you(Pro) may have interpreted the entire theme differently than what was intended.
Furthermore, Pro continues by explaining how she/he feels that Pixar no longer applies effort to the works and is supposedly "beginning to give up". I say that's nonsense. If Pixar was indeed giving up, the corporation would not spend much time and money required for a successful film. Their most recent films (Cars 2, Brave, Monsters University) actually demanded a more than sufficient amount of money. An estimated 200 million budget was used for the making of Monsters University, surpassing multiple previous works in terms of any "effort" or "sacrifice" involved in the making of the films. Additionally, Pixar's highly anticipated new films Finding Dory, Cars 3, and Toy Story 4, Incredibles 2 are currently underway and scheduled for release in 2015-2017. Pro can argue by saying Pixar has given up, but clearly there is much more planned in the near future that can be used to determine whether the corporation has truly given up or not.
Pro states that a future trend will be noticeable for the deterioration of Pixar films. I disagree, because there's not much evidence as to why this really will occur. S/he says that the most recent films (Brave, Monsters University, Cars 2) have gotten bad ratings compared to other critically acclaimed works by Pixar, from sources such as Rotten Tomatoes. These 3 films are the sole reason as to why Pro claims Pixar is losing its once great imagination.. It's ridiculous to assume an overall trend or domino effect will be a result of bad production of THREE films. Not to mention that there are other abnormalities in Pixar's great list of films as well. Not all are consistently rated high, and a few here and there fall short of a good score. Another thought provoking thing is that, these films actually have been quite popular with the audiences in comparison to other Pixar-owned films. Of course sales and quality have no DIRECT correlation to one another, for one variable applies to another aspect all together. But think about this, isn't it more reasonable that people spend money on a movie with higher quality and standard compared to one that lacks substance and originality, as Pro claims?
In this section, I'll be discussing some minor flaws in Pro's argument. Some are more prominent than others. Some are not worth mentioning at all. Regardless, I'll be addressing as much as possible.
A.) Pro's argument in Round 1 was that "Pixar lacks ___________ especially compared to Dreamworks and Disney." Pixar and Dreamworks are both currently owned by Disney. All three companies are usually all associated with each other because of the interconnectedness. Because it's a simple mistake that can be disregarded, I will not go in depth as to elaborate on it. I'm merely mentioning it became it irks me.
B.) The short clip that Pro presented titled "Inside Out US Teaser Trailer", in no way supports that Pixar is running short of ideas. Yes, the majority of the clip was comprised of their previous works, but for what purpose is what matters. The repetitiveness wasn't because of a lack of idea, but Pixar merely showed the compilation as an introduction to the premise of Inside Out.
They were using the many facial expressions from Pixar characters to show the theme of Inside Out, which was involving emotions. If anything, it's quite a clever tactic actually. By showing loved characters that were once part of an individual's childhood, it causes nostalgia and lures the viewer into the rest of the video while at the same time displaying the overall concept of Inside Out. Just because Pixar used MINOR samples from other films, does NOT mean they are reiterating the same concepts.
C.) "There is a scene in it where the character Sulley is lying in the snow and the viewers can see his fur moving with the wind. This is an amazing feat in animation at the time, which shows Pixar knew.." I fail to comprehend why this disproves that Pixar is still as proficient as ever. As far as I know, that shows no internal nor external conflicts, and has no emotional factor involved whatsoever. The beast is merely lying in the snow. If you're talking about display resolution, then Pixar is still top notch at animation as it was back then. The graphics are still as clear, there's still distinct pixels, and the dimensions are where they're meant to be. If there was a change at all, I'd imagine Pixar actually IMPROVED its animation due to an advance in technology.
There aren't particularly any sources I can cite, for most of the information I knew based on background knowledge, and most of this round consisted of me rebutting Pro's statements. Possibly the next round will require a few sources.
Your move, Pro.
1. I agree with you that this is a concept that may vary depending on what triggers a person's emotional responses and is not information that can be set in stone, but you pointed out that you were less than impressed with Toy Story 3 and found Brave to be a better film. You used the adjectives "cheesy and distasteful" to describe it, but as one of my favorite Pixar films, I feel the need to defend why I thought it was a successful film.
a. You claimed that the line "So long, partner" caused "the masses to break down in tears and agony" while you thought it was too cheesy. Personally, I think a little waterworks are acceptable for this scene. For some people, that scene brought back memories to the previous two films which came out 15 and 11 years prior respectively. There may have been adults in the theater who were still considered children when they saw the original film and cried for the sake of nostalgia. This line signified more than just what was happening on screen- it signified an end to the franchise so many people had come to love and grow up with. (Note that this was before the speculation of Toy Story 4.)
b. In terms of creativity, I thought the interpretation of the daycare being a prison for the toys to break out of made for a unique story. The plot managed to flow well with Woody finding a new home for the toys and plenty of action and humor to match it. Especially considering that the film is a second sequel, I thought the film was clever. Brave however, just felt dry in comparison to this and most previous Pixar films. The plot, to me, was just a slightly altered retelling of Brother Bear that was made to appeal to the fans who wanted a female protagonist. It's for this reason that I believe it won the best animated feature Oscar that year instead of the arguably more creative Wreck-It-Ralph. (Although that's probably a discussion for another time.)
What I am trying to say with all this (besides defending my preferences) is that Toy Story 3, while it has been considered overrated and has been criticized by many (including you, Con), it can't be denied that it is in fact, a successful film. It is as of yet the most recent film by the studio to be nominated for best picture, and as Pixar's two most recent films did not even receive a nomination for best animated feature, the only films not to since the creation of the Academy Award category, which is part of my evidence as to why I believe Pixar's quality in film-making is declining. They had what I'm going to consider a misstep with Cars back in 2006 (it was considered by a majority of critics to be a step down from all of their previous films and it was the only one so far not to win the Oscar for best animated feature since the creation of the category), but managed to bounce back with Ratatouille which continued the successful trend. So far, there has not been any "bouncing back" from the studio. (This is also my main rebuttal to your third point.)
(Some of these statistics were verified through IMDB and HollywoodReporter.)
2. What Con says about my belief that Pixar is giving up is a good argument, but I have to point out this. The films scheduled for the future include Finding Dory, Cars 3, Toy Story 4, and Incredibles 2. What these films all have in common is that they are sequels. Yes, they may spend a lot of time and money on these upcoming films, but this may also mean that Pixar is running out of ideas. Yes, they have original ideas with the upcoming Inside Out and in the past with Brave, but with so many sequels in preparation, it makes me wonder just how many original ideas the company has left. Pixar can afford to spend money on these films because the company knows it will receive a lot of money in the box office as they usually have in the past. To me, this is not the best way to judge their level of effort on the film as it is done, in my opinion, for the money and not because of how much they value the art they are putting out.
3. While I already gave most of my opinion on Con's third point in an above paragraph, I will add one more thing. Con states "people spend money on a movie with higher quality and standard than one that lacks substance and originality". This is not necessarily true. As Pixar has established itself as a contender in the animation department, there will be loyal followers who attend every screening simply for the people behind it despite the overall quality of the film. Also, being an animation studio, a large demographic includes children, who are most likely not going to be the best judge of quality films just yet.
4. In response to the flaws Con pointed out to me:
A. I should point out that Dreamworks, while many films are distributed by Disney, is NOT owned by Disney (info via dreamworksstudios.com). Con was however, right to point out that Disney owns Pixar. I mentioned it separately because I was referring to Disney films that had no affiliation with Pixar.
B. I understand Con's way of thinking in terms of the trailer, but I still believe it is done this way to remind viewers of previous (and arguably better) films that made viewers respect the company. Of course this statement is just my opinion as was yours, but I would have preferred to see more about the film that I was viewing the trailer for. Also, I should point out that I did not mean that they were reiterating the same concepts, just that they were throwing in previous film scenes to "pat themselves on the back" so to speak.
C. For the lying in the snow scene, I did mean display resolution, and I agree that the animation has improved since then. Still, I should point out that in this day and age, I no longer feel that Pixar necessarily has the "edge" over other film companies as I think it once did. This makes me think of film such as Rango or The Adventures of Tin Tin, two non-Pixar movies which I thought to have brilliant animation, and are worthy of being compared to Pixar's animation skills. I mentioned the snow scene because I believed that at the time, Pixar was the only studio capable of that feat, whereas they have more competition now. While the success of other studios does necessarily affect Pixar's quality of film-making, more worthy competition could potentially be enough to one day make Pixar a company that faded into the background. Of course this prediction may not come true at all, but it's worth pointing out that there is a higher possibility now than in the past.
Well, Con, it's your turn now. I hope I've put up a worthy fight. Like you said, this topic is subjective and it isn't an easy subject to professionally argue about.
(1) Rebuttal #1
I'd like to clear a misunderstanding.
It appears Pro believes my line, "Brave is essentially better than Toy Story 3" was the main argument for (1). Not at all. I merely used that example to support my claim "Quality and emotion is interpreted differently depending on the individual." Of course I knew Pro preferred Toy Story 3 over the likes of Brave, but my point was not to convince Pro to re-evaluate her opinions but merely to address how her assertion is subjective and cannot be proven by statistical means. There is no way to measure the decrease in quality or emotion, was what I was trying to emphasize.
What I wanted Pro to refute was my main statement, not the supporting statements. Since Pro agreed on THAT main statement, I do not feel the need to address it further. Instead I will negate Pro's claims (1C), for (1A) and (1B) were his/her's defense for Toy Story 3, which is irrelevant to the debate.
Once again, Pro you've misinterpreted my claim.
Not once did I deny Toy Story 3 was a successful film. What I did say was that I found it unpleasant and unsuccessful in terms of EMOTION, but that was just my perspective solely for the purpose of proving an example. Indeed Toy Story 3 IS a successful film, but I did not disagree in the first place.
Moving forward, my refutation for "Cars(2006), considered an abnormality in Pixar's highly rated list of films, was redeemed by the 'bouncing back' of the movie, Ratatouille." To summarize, Pro claims that though Cars was indeed rated lower compared to other Pixar films, it was redeemed, while the 3 most recent Pixar works have yet to prove themselves worthy.
This is imprecise because Brave accomplished some great achievements as well, which you can consider as a redemption. Besides just winning the Academy Award which Pro wrote earlier, here are a few other accomplishments.
1. Globe Awards for Best Animated Feature Film
2. BAFTA Awards for Best Animated Film
3. Women Film Critics Circle for Best Animated Females
4. Annie Awards for Production Design
5. American Cinema Editors
6. Pixar's 8th highest grossing film
7. Release in a total of 4,164 theaters (a record high for Pixar)
8. Release of short story La Luna (paired with Brave), which was nominated for Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film and the 84th Academy Awards
(Sources for the above will be supplied at the end of round)
(2) Rebuttal #2
My apologies, I didn't intend to only include sequels for Pixar's future releases. The other films that have been confirmed include : Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, and 3 other untitled, unannounced films.
Using the fact that most of the prepared films are sequels to support, "Pixar is lacking of ideas" is inappropriate because
a) As Pro mentioned, Pixar may only be interested in the money. This in no way disproves my claim, nor supports Pro's. Just because they are interested in money does not prove Pixar is losing influence in the industry, it just shows that, sequels = more money. In fact, it's easier to gain money from a sequel than ANY new film because viewers are already affiliated to the concept (creative or not), and that only shows that Pixar knows how to succeed in the industry not how much they value the art.
b) Refutation for "Pixar only creates sequels because of lack of inspiration"
The film Monsters Inc.(2001) which was insanely successful and considered the epitome of Pixar's talent, was followed by Monsters University, a film that Pro declares less innovative. Monsters University was confirmed in 2005, 4 years after the release of Monsters Inc.
This disproves Pro's claim "Pixar only creates sequels because of lack of inspiration" because at the time, Pixar still had the great streak that Pro says is no longer lasting. The company was still in its prime when Monsters university was in planning, ultimately meaning that IF Pixar indeed lost inspiration, they lost it back then, not currently. It also implies that Monsters University may have only been a slight blunder, for great Pixar films have still been releasing after 2005, such as Up and Wall-E "redeeming" the loss.
c) By saying that the sequels were products of mediocrity on Pixar's part, this is counter- productive for Pro. My elaboration: Cars 2, a recent film rendered lacking in emotion by Pro, topped at international success while surpassing another Pixar sequel, Toy Story 2. Though both films were highly anticipated and were BOTH sequels, Cars 2 was dominant over Toy Story 2(which Pro preferred). My point overall for c) is sequels does not = lack of inspiration supported by the example above, therefor proving Pro's claim invalid.
3. Rebuttal #3
Pro fails to negate/ bring up my third main claim about trends so not much to rebut here... But as for Pro's argument regarding loyal followers, I agree but that's the case with every movie including Pixar's most popular ones. Consider Toy Story 2 and Cars 2 that I just mentioned.
Toy Story is clearly more popular than Cars since Pixar is currently making the fourth movie which is extremely rare in the industry. Yet, Cars 2 still surpassed Toy Story 2 meaning "loyal followers attend every Pixar screening despite quality" would apply to both movies, though Pro finds one triumphant over the other.
4. Rebuttal #4
A) Sorry for my poor use of terminology. What I meant to voice was that Dreamworks is closely associated to Walt Disney because they are a partnership and Disney takes care of the marketing and distribution. The fault was mine.
B) Pro's rebuttal for B was an opinion, which cannot be disproved so I'll respect that.
My over-arching theme for B was that Pixar was not reiterating the same concepts but was only giving glimpses to appeal to viewers' emotional senses. Also it seems there was a misconception regarding the subject as said by Pro, but I don't think it's very credible or significant to the debate, so I'll refrain from pointing it out.
C) Pixar no longer has the lead in display resolution because other companies have improved, which both sides can agree on. I'd just like to say that just because other companies have improved in this area does not mean Pixar has regressed, which is the topic of our debate. As far as I'm concerned, Pixar is still refining it's skill in animation just like in the past.

Reasons for voting decision: This one was tight right down to the last round, and for first timers like you guys, it was pretty impressive. Both made good arguments, both made bad misconceptions about each others rounds. The thing is, who was better? Through the question at hand, dodokid (Horrible name for this website but whatever) made better arguments proving Pixar movies were going down in quality, however Miraculous. He was better at rebutting the other persons points. In the end: No one won.

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong has suggested that his band's new album may have a "power-pop" sound.
Armstrong, whose group is recording the follow-up to 2004's American Idiot with Butch Vig, said that he is trying to become a "progressive" songwriter.
He told Altpress: "I really like f***ing with arrangements. I always try to look at the possibilities of how you write power-pop music.
"How do you take something - and it could be anything from The Creation and The Who to The Beatles to Cheap Trick to The Jam - and try to expand on the idea of what is supposed to be three-chord mayhem?
"How do you do it in a way where the arrangements are just unpredictable? So I'm pushing myself to be progressive in songwriting and being a songwriter."
Speaking about Vig's input on the record, he added: "[Butch] gets psyched on a f***ing microphone! That's inspiring. That's amazing.
"He's not a cheerleader type of producer; he's just a very hard-working, straightforward guy."
