Synergy Project

The A-Team Poster Explanation 

We decided to use the movie The A-Team as an example for our synergy project.  On our poster we put an enormous image of the starring cast in costume as our background. We placed the logo of 20^th Century Fox in the top left corner because they are the distributer of the movie. On the top left corner we put a picture of Top Cow studio’s because that is the studio used during the production of the movie. Between the two logo’s we put the title of the movie. Below the picture of the cast we have a row of images.  On the bottom left corner we have the logo for IDW Publishing because they are the company that are making the new The A-Team comic book. Beside that we have a cover of one of the new comic books, after that there is The A-Team soundtrack. In the middle we have the Logo for News Corp. We put this on out poster because they are the owners of 20^th Fox Century. On the bottom left we have Empire Magazine, because they put The A-Team on there cover, and below that we have the logo of Varese Sarabande because they are the label that produced the soundtrack.

Hague Panthers Football Team Looking to Stay Perfect (Article)

Hague Panthers Football Team Looking to Stay Perfect

The Hague Panther football team is looking to stay perfect as they take on the PACI (Prince Albert College Institue) today at 4:00 in Hague. The Hague Panthers are 2-0 so far this season and  are looking to improve their record to 3-0. The team started practicing on August 26^th and look pretty solid on both sides of the ball. The Hague Panthers are lead by Chris Sawatzky and Dalton Janzen, the fourth year veterans.  The coaches of the team are Kelly Lungull (offensive coordinator), and Brett Berry (defensive coordinator). The PACI Golden Bears don’t seem like they will be a contender this year as they have finished in the basement in the last couple years, and are coming of a big lose, losing to Rosthern 73-13.

The Panthers played an exhibition against the Wakaw Warriors and defeated them 36-26. There were lots of new faces on the field as many of the rookies got playing time. Travis Fehr led the team to victory scoring 4 out of 5 touchdowns. He caught 3 touchdown passes, and returned a punt for a touchdown. The special teams also looked impressive recovering a fumble on a kickoff. The kicker also looked good making 3/5 converts. It was bitter cold and raining, but the players battled through the elements and took the win.

In week 2 the panthers took on the underrated Big River Rebels. The game was a nail bitter as both teams exchange touchdowns, but it was the Panthers came on top with a 25-23 victory. The Hague offense looked shaky at best, with staring running back Travis Fehr not going 100% with a head injury, some of the younger players had to step up. “He ran into a goalpost about a week ago,” said the coach, “We don’t have a lot of depth right now.” Some of the positives coming from the game were the play of the defence

Bowling for Columbine

Bowling for Columbine

 In the documentary “Bowling for Columbine”, Michael Moore uses varies example to show how easy it is to obtain guns and ammunition in the United States. In the United States there is an over-whelming amount of deaths because people are getting a hold of weapons and ammunition and not using them carefully.

The little boy from Buell elementary school brought a .32-caliber handgun and shot six-year-old girl is an example of how guns and ammunition are to easy to get in the United States. The little boy found the gun that he took to school at his uncle’s house laying on the floor loaded, all he had to do was pick up the gun.

In Michigan, Michael Moore found a bank that had a promotion that if you would open a certain type of bank account you would receive a free hunting riffle of your choice. That is probably one of the easiest way to get a gun in the US, as long as you have enough money to open up a bank account, you will get a gun, and to get the ammunition all you need to do is go to K-mart and get all the ammunition you want.

My final example of how guns and ammunition are to easy to obtain in the United States is the Columbine High School Massacre. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, walked to the K-Mart right across the street, and bought a almost an unbelievable amount of ammuntion that they killed the 12 students, 1 teacher, and themselves with.

In Bowling for Columbine it has several good example of how it's way to easy to obtain guns and ammunition in America, and a lot of Americans seem to totally blind to the problem.  When teens are able to bring guns and ammunition to school and do with them what they wish, something needs to be done.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Environment Article Summary

St. Lawrence drilling plan draws opposition

A young oil company called Corridore Resourcs is preparing to launch a oil and gas exploration off the gulf of St. Lawrence. This Halifax based oil company is facing a lot of criticism and concerns from fishermen, environmentalists and the Quebec government. There are fears of that if they find oil and gas in this largely unexplored area of the gulf that it will attract a lot of other companies that will explore the waters, and that it will harm the fish, whales, and other marine life. The Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador petroleum board is most likely to vote in favor of Corridors request to survey the Marine life and sea floor before they can start drilling.
