In 1975, McLuhan said, "Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America -- not on the battlefields of Vietnam" (Marchand 1989, p

McLuhan, in the Medium is the Massage (2005), his most well-known book, noted that people consume both medium and message as a total experience. As he once said, "People don't actually read newspapers -- they get into them every morning like a hot bath" (Miller 1971, p
It has been estimated that 6% of auto accidents each year are caused by this combination of activities. This means 2,600 people may be killed and 330,000 injured in cell-phone related car accidents this year (Sundeen 2003)
The discovery of lightening is extremely important. Another scientist says, "The finding is significant because lightning affects atmospheric chemistry, so scientists will have to take it into account as they try to understand the atmosphere and climate of Venus" (Borenstein)
NASA is now planning to send a powerful rover to Mars in 2009 to sniff out methane with high sensitivity to further throw light on the findings. (Berger, 2005) There is a speculation as a result of findings from the meteorite ALH84001 that life could have existed in Mars
Our latest challenge remains to find life in wet place of the planet probable underground to look for recent life wherever they are on Mars. (Dasch; Treiman, 2007) British scientists claim that they have found evidence of life on Mars and also suggest primitive organisms may exist in protected regions of the planet
If private companies are encouraged to conduct exploration on the subject, we may come out with better results. (Davidson, 1996) the scientists of Johnson Space Centre found evidence that strongly suggested the existence of primitive life more than 3
The team is into further investigation about the fact for the scientific community at large to confirm or deny the findings. (Hamilton, 2001) Again there are several institutes promoted to finding about Life on Mars
The evidence from meteorite ALH84001 suggests possibility of biological origin. (Williams, 2005) Carol Stroker and Larry Lemke explained to a group of space officials that they have identified strong evidence about the existence of life on Mars these times in hidden caves that are sustained by Water
Technical Considerations and Mission Planning: Mars is a frigidly cold planet where surface temperature ranges between -20 degrees Fahrenheit and -120 degrees Fahrenheit, with violent dust storms and very little Oxygen, and is orbited by two small moons (Engelbert & Dupuis, 1998). Its distance from Earth varies substantially, from 35 million miles to about 250 million miles, depending on its orbit (Abbate, 1992)
At the height of the Cold War, the Soviets stunned the world by putting Sputnik, the first manmade satellite into orbit. In the next few years, the United States would experience a series of setbacks, resulting in the destruction of unmanned rockets on the launch pad and after take-off, and the newly formed National Aeronautics and Space agency suffered the catastrophic fire that killed Apollo 1 astronauts, Ed White, Gus Grissom, and Roger Chaffee in 1967 (Engelbert & Dupuis, 1998)
Industrial pollution has triggered significant changes to this planet's atmosphere, weather, and topography that will likely accelerate the rate at which this planet eventually becomes incapable of supporting continued human habitation (Sagan, 1994). One of the only alternatives available to perpetuate humanity after we exhaust this planet's natural resources will be to expand our habitat by cultivating conditions capable of supporting human society elsewhere in the Solar System, and eventually, beyond (Kaku, 1997)
On the other hand, the Earth does not offer natural resources necessary to provide for our energy needs much farther into the future. Industrial pollution has triggered significant changes to this planet's atmosphere, weather, and topography that will likely accelerate the rate at which this planet eventually becomes incapable of supporting continued human habitation (Sagan, 1994)
Clays that have been found on the planet are indicative of water eroded riverbeds as well. While the belief that Mars has had oceans dates back to the 1800's when Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaperelli peered through a telescope in 1887 and saw a pattern of linear markings on the Martian surface, it was not until recently that science has been able to study the possibility more closely (Cowen, 2002)
A high-performing sales force improves the profits of existing businesses and secures top-line growth; however, in order to sustain existing levels of sales and capture additional shares in the future, a sales organization must experiment with new approaches that might not be profitable today but could be winners tomorrow and one of these potentials is represented by increased online sales of the company's bar lines. Although the Internet currently represents less than 1% of the volumes of the Mars Incorporated, industry analysts predict that these types of sales will account for fully 13% of Mars' bar candy sales by 2010 (Alldredge, Griffin & Kotcher, 1999)
Almost everyone has used or seen its products. These include candy bars (3 Musketeers, Milky Way, Mars, M&M's, and Snickers), packaged foods (Uncle Ben's rice), and pet food" (Whiskas and Pedigree) (Anderson, 2004, p
The choice of a name for the Mars product was clearly influenced by the market in which the company was competing. In 1933, British confectionery manufacturers were struggling to keep pace with their American counterparts in coining catchy names for their candy bar lines, and an assortment of these shows what Mars was up against: Angel food, Three Deckers, Bumpers, Hu-Ha, Jakko, Punch, Scrum, Foozely Boo, Rip, Nutzipan, Chumps, Eccos, Choccos, King, Happy Day, Nutz and Humpty! (Bowlby, 2001)
Main Meal Foods Although better known perhaps for its snack food lines, many of the company's products are main meal items, including Uncle Ben's (which was the world's first mass produced parboiled rice and is still a favorite) as well as pasta and sauces. Drinks The company's state-of-the-art vending systems, Klix and Flavia, allow consumer to purchase hot and cold drinks at both work and elsewhere Information Technology Mars also makes drink vending equipment and electronic automated payment systems" (Mars, Incorporated company profile, 2007, p
