Paramount Motion Pitures celebrated its 94th anniversary in 2006, the company started from July12,1912 and has been carrying on ever since then. The founder of Paramount was a man called Adolph Zukor who also was the founder of the production company Famous Players Film Corp. Even now Paramount still stick with their slogan " If it's a Paramount Picture, it's the best show in town".

In 1912, Zukor secured the American distrubution rights to a woman called Sarah Bernhart's who created a for reel film called Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth was the first full length drama show in the USA. Famous Players began to produce movies in New York and the first film "The Prisoner of Zenda" but also, " The Count of Monte Cristo". Later on, Zukor invested in a film distrubution company called Paramount Pictures.

Four years later, 1916 was Paramounts turning point - Paramount was about to combine with The Jesse L. Lasky Company, which was a Hollywood distrubutor and producing films, Zukor and Lasky created a new studio on Marathon Street, Hollywood, where the company actually stands since 1916.

Paramounts earliest stars were director Cecil B. DeMille and William S. Hart and stars such as Mary Pickford, Rudolf Valentino and Clara Bow. In 1928, Paramount produced "Wings" which recieved the very first Academy Award for "Best Picture", from the members if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The Gulf and Western Industries, Inc. had all control of Paramount on March 24th, 1966 - the comapny turned its interest towards the new entertainment company division. On June5, 1989 the Gulf and Western Industries was renamed Paramount Communications Inc.

Bebo takes on the Cyber Bullies

http://media.guardian.co.uk/newmedia/story/0,,1873401,00.html

Over the internet many people from different ages, face bullying however, a internet site called Bebo which is similar to MySpace is intending to put a stop to cyber bullies. Bebo is a site that looks after the right and protects young people from bullies but, its main objective is too put a stop to cyber bullying.

Dr Rachel O'Connel is Bebo's head corporate and arranged a social responsibility meeting with leading educational website company called London Grid for Learning too see if, they can create the multimedia tools and booklets to help both teachers and students at tackling better learning skills but, also to stop the increasing ratio of cyber bullying. The meetings main objective was to create a new "virtual learning environment that schools are developing".

London Grid for Learning supports the communication of teaching and learning across the schools curriculum.

On a day to day base many young people are dependent on the use of the world wide web, the internet is used for homework but also entertainment, however, having the certain perks to using the internet also allows bullying to occur that can be very serious. In addition, both leading companies are looking to put an ultimate stop to the use of bullying however, there was a report that was published that stated "Bebo and MySpace were found as exposing unsuitable advertising, pornographic images and bullying"

Ms O'Connel is defence mentioned that the users of Bebo are allowed to use the "anti bulying tool" which will prevent the use off harsh postings and offence images. She carried on to explain that Bebo users would be able to "pre - vet" material and that this is the " first raft of safety and security measurement we intend to introduce"

Lastly, Bebo has signed to the Departement for Education and Skills that will newly form the bullying taskforce.

My opinion: In my opinion I feel that Ms O'Connel have spotted a problem in the internet and are trying to come up with a fast result to achieve their certain objective. In actuality, it may be hard to stop all sorts of cyber bullying but I can see that Bebo are determined to work with schools to achieve the best in the school curriculum.
