Car companies have always played an essential role in film industry. By placement of their products not only they change the actor’s personalities but also build a strong relationship with the audience to feature their new products.
The first cars being featured in films go back to the early stage of film industry where Henry Ford presented his T and A models in Chaplin’s Modern Time and most notably in the remake of the Film King Kong as Taxi and Police cars.
One movie which is considered highly influential as product placement in film industry is Bullitt.
In this film two 1968 390 CID V8 Ford Mustangs were used for the chase scenes. The idea was to make the officer’s character cool and equipped with sport car. And this idea was followed in other movies such as Dirty Harry, French connection, Bond movies, Back to the future, etc. And till now, this tradition has remained the same. Even they go one step further and try to humanize the cars in films such as Herbie and animated Pixar Cars Movie which the Model of cars significantly elicit their characters. As a result, this manipulation has real impact on our snap judgment to shop for a car. At first glance we give the car a personality and if it matches with ours, we would step in to trade it.
Over one hundred years ago, German psychiatrist Dr Alois Alzheimer reported a neurodegenerative dementia that we know now as Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of neurodegenerative dementia among elderly. In general, Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed in people over the age of 65 but there are also those who are affected at much earlier age. The latest estimate of the prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease worldwide shows that approximately 27 million people live with Alzheimer’s disease. An estimated 5 million Americans have AD and as the elderly population continues to grow, the prevalence could increase by three fold by 2050. The earliest symptom of Alzheimer’s disease is loss of short term memory. During the course of the disease patients experience confusion, aggressive behavior, hallucination, mood swings, language deficit and lastly the loss of long term memory. The most common risk factors for Alzheimer’s are age, genetics, gender, education, head injury, environmental influences, oxidative stress, and infection. The clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is based on a combination clinical laboratory testing, physical and neurological examination, and neuroimaging techniques. To date, there more than 500 clinical trials investigating the therapeutical and pharmacological treatment options for Alzheimer’s patients. As there is no effective cure available for this disease, the preventive measures such as mental and physical exercise, and healthy diet are highly recommended.

Gil Alkabetz was born in Beer-Sheva, Israel (1957). He studied at the Bazalel academy of Art and design in Jerusalem from 1979-1983 and was employed as an animator by Frame by Frame. From 1985-1995 he worked as an independent illustrator and animator and taught animation and illustration at the Vizo Academy of Design in Haifa (1987-1994).
he has also worked as an independent filmmaker for the Film Bilder studio in Stuttgart.
I started writing short stories for a local radio when I was a young student in college. I loved writing those stories because by writing them I could make clear my thoughts on an issue.
I graduated from film school and started making film and animation film. Now I am writing screenplays. A few weeks ago while I was surfing the net I came across the PPP ( PPP stands for payperpost) website that challenges writing one step further.
I usually write and work on my own ideas and never tried to be a critic. I took the opportunity and signed up.
I couldn’t get approved because my blog didn’t meet the requirements.
Basically, your blog must:
* Be at least 30 days old, with at least 10 pre-existing posts written in the last 30 days.
* Have chronological archives.
* Contain content that is original to you and the blog.
* Be a text/written content blog, meaning no message boards, websites, IM, photoblogs, vlogs, etc.
* Have only one author.
* Not include ‘no follow’ tags.
* Be a blog written in the English language. We do make note of any blogs submitted in other languages so we may share those as we encounter Advertisers seeking them.
* Not be a blog kept primarily for earning money.
Anyway, after a month my blog was approved and with the help of PPP customer center ( a fast and friendly center) I could set up my account and implement the codes.
Now I am in and hope by writing for other blogs and people I will find myself in a new community of responsive bloggers.
Lately, I have been thinking about finding possible solutions to our
impossible problems, problems which emerge from everywhere, everyday. I
asked myself: what does it keep us from brilliant solutions? Where are
the great new ideas? Is there a place where we could share our thoughts
to achieve vital solutions for our problems? Obviously it exists: Blog.
But sharing the ideas and supporting it is not a Simple task.
First, you can’t share your ideas anonymously because readers need creditability of the Author. Furthermore the negative consequences of your publishing are not avoidable.
I can’t support the idea that the blogs are not trusted. Nowadays readers are so smart and can easily distinguish fresh ideas from boring routines and this leads the Blogger to practice Blogging
more and more in an ethical way.
Blogs should be great places for innovative and creative thinking. There are people with different experiences who can transform difficult concepts into unique solutions. One of these completely different social Medias is thoughts.com. It fosters a culture that supports creative thinking and highlights the weaknesses to correct them. It has bloggers who make great contributions to new ideas and innovative solutions.
Thoughts.com is an honest social Media which promotes good ideas and when the good ideas are exposed your thinking will grow and evolve.
