Whydosomestarshirephotographerstosurprisetheminaprivatemoment?

Promoting the StarsPublic relations (PR) is the business of promoting a person, company, product or idea by generating media and public interest. And personal publicists to the stars seem to have the easiest job in PR because getting ink (receiving media coverage) for celebrities is seldom a problem. In fact not surprisingly, in this age of tabloids, paparazzi, mobile-phone cameras and especially the Internet, theres often too much ink, and its not always positive or to the stars liking.

Thats why a big part of a celebrity publicists job is to help stars respond to false, damaging or embarrassing articles and photos. This can be done directly, such as by releasing a statement responding to the published information. Or a more subtle approach can be taken by gradually shifting attention to different, positive aspects of the stars lives, such as their involvement with charitable or social causes.

In addition, some stars and their publicists have found a way to try to control coverage and to beat the tabloids at their own game: they hire their own photographers or give paparazzi advance notice so they can catch a star in a supposedly private moment. The editor of an American gossip magazine recently estimated that about half of the celebrity photos we see fall into this category. According to an article in the respected business newspaper, The Wall street Journal, examples of these carefully orchestrated fake paparazzi moments include photos of Gwyneth Paltrow leaving hospital with her first baby and the worlds first glimpse of Tom Cruise with his wife, Katie Holmes.

Of course, many celebrities claim not to care about their public image or what the tabloids print. But for those who do care, publicists are essential.

Government Funding for the Arts

In Britain, it has always been customary for the government to provide financial support for the arts. 1. , some people wonder whether it is time to end this custom.2. most people dont benefit directly from arts funding, and many never take advantage of this help. 3. , government funds for the arts means less money for essential services, 4. schools, health care, public transport and the police.5. , in comparison with those services, arts funding accounts for only a small portion of the government budget. Yet even that amount helps Britain to preserve its artistic heritage and nurture new generations of artists. 6. , arts funding allows many museums to offer free entrance, creates job opportunities and helps promote tourism.

In conclusion, 7. the arguments against government arts funding, I believe it should continue. The funding provides many benefits, and the arts are crucial for our culture and society.

Theres no doubt that the Internet has got environmental benefits. E-mails, for instance, save on paper, electricity costs for processing ordinary letters and the fuel needed to pick up and deliver them. Online purchases mean fewer car trips to shops. As we increasingly get more news and music online, energy costs of producing and transporting newspapers, magazines and CDs are being reduced. And video-conferencing brings together people who, a few years ago, couldnt have met without travelling long distances.

But online activity itself has definitely got a carbon footprint. You might be surprised to learn that, according to a recent study, the information technology industry emits approximately 2% of the worlds CO2 (carbon dioxide), creating about the same amount of greenhouse gases as the global airline industry.

The culprit, of course, is the electricity needed to run the huge server computers of Google and other data centres, which are, says researcher Evan Mills, among the most energy-intensive facilities imaginable.

But what does this mean for the average computer user? Estimates are that every 15 minutes we spend online performing a Google search or viewing web pages can generate up to 10 g of CO2. This is about two-thirds of the amount created by boiling a cup of water in an electric kettle. And players of online virtual-reality games can use nearly the same amount of electricity in one year as a typical citizen in Brazil uses over the same period.

With more than 200 million Internet searches performed each day, billions of web pages being viewed and new online services such as Twitter gaining in popularity, many scientists believe its time to find ways to cut down the Internets environmental cost.

People who work out at Central Gym in Hong Kong are not only trimming fat from their 1. , theyre also a source of 2. that helps provide power to the gym. Specially-designed exercise machines capture the electrical energy produced by exercisers, which then becomes 3. to power the lights above

Theres certainly no 3. of choices of 4. vehicles, either.

This battery-powered vehicle produces far less 5. than an ordinary petrol-powered car, and has much less of a 6. effect on the environment. With a price

Do you neglect responsibilities whenever you have the urge to spend time online? Do you feel depressed if youre away from a computer game for too long? Do you lie about the amount of time you spend online? Is your virtual social life more important than your real social life? If so, they may be signs that you have an Internet, gaming or computer addiction now commonly called Internet addiction.

Since the mid-1990s, when the problem first began to be widely discussed among mental-health professionals, comparisons have been made between excessive computer use and addictions to gambling, drugs or alcohol. There are differences, though, especially as Internet addiction doesnt usually involve losing money or pose an imminent threat to ones physical health.

Moreover, many experts say that an Internet addiction diagnosis shouldnt be based mainly on the amount of time devoted to the activity. Instead, they say, what must be examined is the negative effect the activity has on someones life. Someone who stays home from school or a job in order to remain online, for instance, or who gains emotional satisfaction only from their gaming or virtual social life, should be considered an addict.

Internet addiction is not yet accepted as a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association or similar professional organisations elsewhere (though it may soon gain official recognition in China). Despite this, a wide range of treatments is already available for it, including rehabilitation programmes in South Korea, China, the USA and other countries. Critics may point to this as proof that addiction specialists are already benefitting from creating a new group of patients to treat.

But that probably doesnt matter to sufferers like 19-year-old Ben Alexander who, in September 2009, was the first patient at ReSTART, a treatment centre in the USA. He didnt finish university because of his inability to limit the amount of time he spent playing the video game World of Warcraft. Hopefully, ReSTART will enable Ben to regain control of his life.

Too Much Self-Service Online?More and more business is being conducted online, from banking to booking travel tickets. While many people like this trend, I think it has disadvantages for the consumer.First of all, a credit or debit card is usually needed 1.

make online purchases. 2.

, people who lack these cards cant take advantage of Internet deals such as low-priced plane tickets.Second, the ability to print boarding passes or tickets at home is presented to consumers as an advantage but it is also an inconvenience 3.

it costs us time and money for the ink and paper. Finally, online orders are often difficult to change, and customer service is not always readily available. 4.

, some people are nervous about making online purchases. All in all, I dont think that consumers who do their business online are always treated well. Consumers should let companies know when they dont like this self-service approach.
