...Mehta | Due to the tragedy that took place right after the India vs. Pakistan hockey match Against Kabir Khan (SRK), he transformed into a different person and saw the world with unfamiliar eyes. He was humiliated and was named as a double dealer by the people of his own country. He could not bare this mortification and dishonor so he decided to gain his and his country's respect back in the eyes of the world. Khan had to leave his own home due to the lack of acceptance of his presence in his surroundings. He, who was solely devoted to his team, was accused of a spiteful deed which he could not agree to. Khan could not bare the weight of the crime longer than 7 years and decided to coach the women’s hockey team for it to make it to the world cup. He came across various players from all over India, some of which who could not even match the mother tongue of India. Some of whom belonged to the rural societies of India where as some belonged to the urban areas. But Khans attitude kept him very together and gave him strength to keep his team in the correct sportsmen’s spirit. He had an exceedingly complex task, which many other coaches had declined earlier. Despite knowing the roughness of the task, Khan took it up as a challenge and proved himself. Khan opted for the path of team work and unity to form such an organized team.

...GENGHIS KHAN The name Genghis Khan often conjures the image of a relentless, bloodthirsty barbarian on horseback leading a ruthless band of nomadic warriors in the looting of the civilized world. But the surprising truth is that Genghis Khan was a visionary leader whose conquests joined backward Europe with the flourishing cultures of Asia to trigger a global awakening, an unprecedented explosion of technologies, trade, and ideas. Genghis Khan, who lived probably between 1162–1227, born Temüjin, was the founder, Khan (ruler) and Khagan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He was born in a Mongol tribe near Burkhan Khaldun mountain and the Onon and Kherlen Rivers in modern-day Mongolia, not far from the current capital Ulaanbaatar. The Secret History of the Mongols reports that Temüjin was born with a blood clot grasped in his fist, a traditional sign indicating that he was destined to become a great leader. He was the third-oldest son of his father Yesükhei, a minor tribal chief of the Kiyad and an ally of Ong Khan of the Kerait tribe and the oldest son of his mother Hoelun. He was called Temüjin because, in the Mongol culture, children were named after the leader of the last tribe to be defeated by the child’s father Childhood was short and difficult for the Mongols, and Temüjin learned how to ride horses when he was three, and hunt and fish before he turned six years old. The Mongols also had very...

...Lux (soap) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Lux Laundry Soap Ad, 1916 Lux soap was first launched in the UK in 1899 as a flaked version of Sunlight soap. Subsequently it was launched in the US in 1916, and marketed as a laundry soap targeted specifically at 'delicates'. Lever Brothers encouraged women to home launder their clothes without fear of satins and silks being turned yellow by harsh lyes that were often used in soaps at the time. The flake-type soap allowed the manufacturer some leeway from lye because it did not need to be shaped into traditional cake-shaped loaves as other soaps were. The result was a gentler soap that dissolved more readily and was advertised as suitable for home laundry use.[1] Lux is currently a product of Unilever. The name "Lux" was chosen as the Latin word for "light" and because it was suggestive of "luxury."[1] Lux toilet soap was introduced as a bathroom soap in the US in 1925, and in the UK in 1928 as a brand extension of Lux soap flakes. Subsequently Lux soap has been marketed in several forms, including handwash, shower gel and cream bath soap. Lux soap was launched in India in 1929. The very first advertisement in 1929 featured Leela Chitnis as its brand ambassador. It was branded in India as "the beauty soap of film stars'. As of June 2009 Lux is sold in over 100 countries Celebrity endorsements Hollywood Since the 1930s, many well-known Hollywood actresses have marketed the soap to women as...

According to the news agency Agence France-Presse, the "phenomenal" success of "Gangnam Style" has played a significant role in spreading the Korean Wave to other countries. As the song continued to attract worldwide media attention, it also led to various broadcasting networks and national newspapers focusing its attention on Korean popular music (K-pop) and other aspects of Korean culture. For example, The Daily Telegraph published an article recommending its readers to try out everything from K-Pop to "K-Cars", "K-Phones" and "K-Cuisine".

...colonial periods of India are well like by the Indian people as it portrays a significant role in their history and helped form India to what it is today. For example, the British built cities and infrastructure like railways that the Indian people still use today. But the British also inadvertently banded the many different peoples of India together against them, which is what these two movies are all about. Lagaan and The Rising express the unity of Hindus and Muslims, and the breaking of the caste system to form friendship. These two films also depict the British in almost identical ways; all but one of the Britsh characters is scornful about and neglects the Indian people and their customs. It may be coincidence that the same actor, Aamir Khan, plays the main character in both movies that unites the different groups together and share a bond with the “good” British character. However, the extent of the historical accuracy of the portrayal of colonial Britain is up to debate. Of the two films, The Rising presents a more accurate presentation of colonial Britain than Lagaan in its portrayal of the British, Indian society, and the reason why the peoples of India converging to combat British rule. The hit film, Lagaan, is not only extremely entertaining, but it reminds the Indian people what hardships they have gone through under the British rule and appreciate the freedom they fought for. It’s the characters of the film that really drive this point, and the actors portraying them...

...Luzbel 1 Nelson Luzbel Professor Chamberlain 2 pm class 29 November 2013 Drama Paper For my drama performance I chose to attend the AnDa Union musical at the Curtis M Phillips Center. The group consists of Mongolians who reflect their roots and tradition through their musical styles. The word Anda refers to a blood brother or sister, which for Mongolians holds more importance than a birth sibling since you choose the other person that is to become your “Anda”. The AnDa Union who perform the musical together are actually a brotherhood of Andas themselves. Throughout the show they played songs that tell a traditional story. The first song they performed was called Galloping Horses. The rhythm to this song is very fast paced and exciting, as for it is a resemblance of a group of horses galloping. I personally found this part of the performance to be very attention grabbing. This song is said to be the most well-known piece of music composed through the morin khuur. The morin khuur is a traditional Mongolian bowed stringed instrument, it is one of the most important music instruments to the Mongol people. Galloping Horses was written by the master Chi Bulag who created the musical piece after he had watched a fierce horse race. In the race, the winning horse staggered over the finish line, tumbled to the ground and died of exhaustion. Through the actual performance you can feel the suspense and imagine the race that Bulag based the musical piece on. Another song performed...

...Massa I mongoli comprendevano l'importanza di concentrare il proprio potere offensivo nel tempo e nello spazio. Dimostravano grande abilità, ad esempio, concentrando il tiro delle frecce contro un unico bersaglio da più lati e individuando l'avversario contro il quale fare massa. E' soprattutto al di fuori del campo di battaglia che però i mongoli comprendevano l'importanza di concentrare le masse in modo coordinato: sistematicamente marciavano separati per combattere uniti, secoli prima di Napoleone. obiettivo Le loro armate, infatti, seguivano un preciso piano delle operazioni sincronizzando le azioni dei vari scaglioni in modo cronometrico, nonostante fossero lontani anche centinaia di chilometri. In questo complesso processo non perdevano mai di vista l'obiettivo delle operazioni, sempre costituito dalla parte principale dell'esercito nemico, contro la quale, poi, concentravano fulmineamente e imprevedibilmente le forze. Their army in fact followed a precise operational plan synchronizing with a perfect timing all the different divisions, although they were distant from each other hundreds of kilometers. In this complex process they never lost the objective of their operations, the main body of the enemy’s army towards which they eventually concentrated quickly and unpredictably their forces.
