Deep inside my gut I get a queasy feeling every time I read 'Lisa Vanderpump and the Yulin Dog-Meat Festival' in the same story.
The 56-year-old de facto star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the force behind her spinoff Vanderpump Rule may be using the Yulin Dog and Cat meat festival as a tool to get her name out in the main stream media.
I am writing this only because ending the Yulin festival is something I devoted the last few years of my life in trying to end the dog and cat slaughter and in 2017 Wildlife Planet is planning some big things that hopefully will lead to the end of the festival.
Each day we try to bring new stories that expose this horror and on most days we never see anything about Vanderpump actually doing
Man’s best friend. When hearing this statement many people know that it is referring to a dog. But can it also be referring to a beer? Budweiser believes so. In their commercial, “Lost Puppy” Budweiser shows their viewers that not only can your dog be your best friend, but so can their beer. They use many forms of rhetoric to persuade their audience of this. Budweiser does a great job of using pathos to draw the attention of their audience. That is the first step, right? In order to persuade an audience of something, you must first have their attention.

Conversation Analysis (CA) is the study of talk-within-interaction that attempts to describe the orderliness, structure and sequential patterns of interaction in conversation. It is a method of qualitative analysis developed by Harvey Sacks with the aid of Emmanuel Schegloff and Gail Jefferson in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Using the CA frame of mind to view stories shows us that what we may think to be simplistic relaying of information or entertaining our friends is in fact a highly organised social phenomena that is finely tuned in a way that expresses the teller’s motivation behind the talk. (Hutchby & Wooffitt, 2011). It is suggested that CA relies on three main assumptions; talk is a form of social action, action is structurally organised, talk creates and maintains inter-subjectivity (Atkinson & Heritage, 1984).
I am used to living a very busy life style, so I never paid close attention to where my food was originating from. Usually when I look at my food it is more to find out its nutritional value rather than its origins. After reading Kelsey Timmerman’s “Where Am I Eating?”, it has opened my eyes to some of the horrors of the food industry. Regardless of what I have learned, changing my eating habits would be very challenging, and I do not believe it is entirely necessary. Yes, there are many negatives in the global food economy, but it is not totally corrupt as Timmerman suggests. I believe it would be very difficult to change because of the many misleading food labels, the United States has become unfamiliar with how to produce for the entirety

Marlo Mack’s podcast How To Be a Girl is a sensitive and honest exploration of the joys, fears, and struggles of raising of a transgender child. Earlier this year, Marlo and her seven-year-old daughter M (both pseudonyms) met transgender actress Laverne Cox (“Orange Is the New Black”). The story and photos of that meeting had a brief flare of online virality. In a recent episode of the podcast, Marlo (who also blogs at gendermom) talked about what happened after that meeting, as M began to understand that the world can be a difficult, even dangerous, place for transgender people like her. Below is a transcribed excerpt of that podcast.
I just got back from the 1st annual Southern Brewers Conference #SBC2016 in Nashville, TN. I’ve been to Nashville a couple of times before and when I saw that the South East was hosting a beer conference there, I knew I wanted to attend. I got to Nashville on Wednesday afternoon, threw my bags in the hotel room, and then headed out to find some local craft. Hope you’re ready to hear a lot about Breweries, the conference, and Nashville…
A serial killer is a person who commits multiple murders without any type of motive and develops predictable behavior patterns. When you Google “serial killers,” the names that pop are “Luis Garavito, Javed Iqbal, Anatoly Onopriyenko, Dean Corll, Carl Panzram, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy…” What do all of these serial killers have in common? They are all men. So, if Aileen Wuornos is categorized as a serial killer, why is her name irrelevant to this list of names? Based on the evidence that has been presented this semester, I do not think that justice was served in the Aileen Wuornos case. I believe that she had acted with self-defense, she was executed because she had bad representation and she is categorized as a serial killer
