A:When Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey on October 29, 2012, the effects were severe, and Mantoloking was especially hard hit, with more than 50 homes requiring demolition, accounting for almost 10% of the housing units in the borough as of the 2010 Census. Verizon Communications announced in July 2013 that it had decided against providing Mantoloking residents with "plain old telephone service" from replacement copper-wire lines, and had decided instead to provide them with its Voice Link wireless service, an effort that brought protests from the AARP. Residents have complained that many calls don't go through when dialed, that fax transmissions cannot be made, that 911 calls may be affected by network bottlenecks and that power outages would result in the loss of service. B:Could an outside observer find fault with the AARP for trying to resist change in Mantoloking, when residents could likely benefit from more modern communications? Answer: mean

Verizon Communications announced in July 2013 that it won't be providing Mantoloking residents with its Voice Link wireless service, but would instead rebuild the old telephone service, which relied on copper wires, and this decision drew protests from the AARP.

B:If Hurricane Sandy had never occurred, Mantoloking had kept its original infrastructure, and Verizon had made this decision simply as an ongoing business matter, would the decision have left local residents less vulnerable to floods or even freak earthquakes that could affect underground telephone lines?

A:Scorsese was initially reluctant to develop the project, though he eventually came to relate to LaMotta's story. Schrader re-wrote Martin's first screenplay, and Scorsese and De Niro together made uncredited contributions thereafter. Pesci was already a famous actor before appearing in the film, as was Moriarty, who Pesci recommended for her role. During principal photography, each of the boxing scenes was choreographed for a specific visual style and De Niro gained approximately to portray LaMotta in his later post-boxing years. Scorsese was exacting in the process of editing and mixing the film, expecting it to be his last major feature. B:Is it possible that the writers of this movie had specifically tailored the character to Joe Pesci's unique on-screen charisma, with the hopes that he would accept the role? Answer:
