Week 6 EOC


The Places where I go to buy basic necessities (i.e. deodorants, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, etc…..) I would go to three places, Albertsons, Smiths, and Food 4 Less. Because those 3 places are the stores that are affordable to buy these basic necessities. Also these 3 top places have a huge selection of hygienic products that I buy for daily use. For instance, this past weekend I went to buy a toothbrush at Albertson for $2.99, and a new body spray for $5.69, the great thing was that these two products that I needed were at a special price, and since I have a Gift Card from there, I have a major advantage in saving money. I saved about a little over $5 when I went to purchase these basic necessities.  Also what is great about places like Albertson is that they have everything that one goes for and it’s worth spending your money especially knowing you’re saving at the  same time.

Week 5 EOC Sony Sleuth-Marketing

With what happened with the recent hacking of the Sony Corporation, which shocked the US and the entire world at large. Sony Corp. told US lawmakers that they found a taunting message during a recent computer attack but it still doesn't know who stole personal information from more than 100 million of its online-gaming accounts. Sony, in a letter to Congress released on Wednesday said the hackers didn't leave any traces of their attacks, which is lead to be the biggest data breaches up to date.  But Sony said it discovered a file left on its servers called "Anonymous. The contents of that file said "We are Legion," which is the tag line of a loosely affiliated group of Internet vigilantes dubbed Anonymous.
Since the breach, Sony has been under intense scrutiny and its videogame chief, Kazou Hirai, has been under fire. Adding to the political pressure, New York's attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, Tuesday issued subpoenas to Sony for documents related to its security systems, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Sony's letter to lawmakers was its response to a request from a congressional committee examining data-breach issues.In its letter, Sony said it was the "victim of a very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack designed to steal personal and credit card information for illegal purposes."

Week 4 EOC: There's an app for that

The New Canon 7D has several apps. For example The EOS 7D offers the enhanced image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation necessary in a professional movie-making tool. By shooting video with a large sensor camera, it's simple to take advantage of the image characteristics intrinsic to SLR photography and not necessarily to video cameras.
In addition to a number of different recording size and frame rate modes, the EOS 7D enables easy manual control of exposure, focus and Live View features and even allows for in-camera editing. The large CMOS sensor and compatibility with over 60 lenses provide a wealth of depth-of-field options. And it's all as easy as the press of a button - the EOS 7D has a dedicated Live View/Movie Recording lever with a start/stop button that gets the shooting started fast.
Full HD Video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30p (29.97), 24p (23.976) or 25p frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Movies are saved as .MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50p / 60p (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50p / 60p (59.94) fps).

Great Customer Service

    My best Customer Service experience is when one day I went to P.F. Chang’s and the waitress was very nice and took care of us while we ate there and due to the fact that I spoke to her in my limited Mandarin Chinese. She was well impressed with that and mainly surprised that I told her that I am Guatemalan in Mandarin. In this case it helped me to help her perform greatly in her job, just mainly due to the fact that I intended to speak to her in her native tongue. This really meant something greatly for her, because one of her customers took the trouble to ask simple things in her native tongue while ordering food. Then afterwards, she kept coming back and forth to the table where we were sitting and she was just overwhelmed with joy due to the fact that I intended to speak to her in Mandarin. Also I liked the fact that I left a major impression on her with intending to speak Mandarin, just by saying simple words like please, hello, thank you, your welcome, etc…In my personal opinion, that was the best customer service experience I really ever had in years, also I would like to add to this is that if you treat the people that serve you with respect and dignity, they will definitely take care of you.

As a photography major, one must have the vision and drive to take pictures of everything. Anything from taking pictures of animals, food, to people, skyscrapers, world events, etc..
