...completely incompetent. Even though Jack had very poor eye site, this did not hold back Kipling’s actions to help his son join the army force. His performance as Jack is very real that as some point, I internally screamed NO! when he directs and leads his group to fight. Daniel Radcliffe brings both power and sadness at the same time in his role, especially when he speaks to his father for the last time and takes off. Another very significant cast member is Carrie Mulligan. Carrie began her acting career in 2005 and even though she is an Amature when is comes to acting, she displayed a very Professional part playing as Kipling’s independent daughter, Elsie - the only one of Kipling’s three daughters to live past the age of 18.

...The greatest and obligated duty to the children is to love them, secondly, it is to teach them according to Richelle E. Goodrich. The meaning behind this is that children should not only be loved, but that teaching them important life lessons are just as vital. This can be seen in Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" poem. "If" is about being who you are without the thought of someone else's opinion in the form of a conversation with his son. Another poem that relates to this theme is Langston Hughes' "Mother to Son" poem which shows a discussion between a mother and her son about never giving up just because life can grow problematic. The significance of the two poems is that both authors display some sort tougher affection by teaching meaningful life lessons with a simple heart-to-heart talk. In Kipling's "If", the author is teaching his son influential values and etiquettes if he wants to be more like a man. Not just stereotypical jobs but more general ideas like, "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you." Meaning that just cause others are against, people should never doubt oneself or "give way to hating" because it is a mistake if people mold oneself around others' views. This is the father's advice to his son. Hughes has a similar outlook in her poem. "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes has a strong resemblance to Kipling's "If" with its themes that harmonize with each other. The difference being that "Mother to Son" is more about overcoming...

...Kipling’s use of syntax and tone reveals a sympathetic and considerate approach to interracial relationships as a means of discarding imperialistic dogmatism. The majority of the story occurs within Holden and Ameera’s home in which Kipling employs poetic and romantic diction which lends itself to “sense of artificiality [that] often surfaces whenever they speak of the eternality of their love and the permanence of their happiness” (Dillingham 68). However, this artificiality is not a genuine flaw in the work, but indicative of the artificiality, or rather, unsustainability of Holden and Ameera’s relationship. Holden deviates from any imperialistic language within the house and speaks poetically: “‘I have seen fire-balloons by the hundred. I have seen the moon, and – then I saw no more fire-balloons’” (WBOC 1728). The absence of legalistic language suggests a childlike ignorance of the outside world. This ignorance, however, is a conscious rejection. The reality is, Holden is a man employed by the empire and knows “the drawbacks of a double life are manifold” (1729). He chooses to live the double life because he is implicated within the empire but finds more joy in his relationship: “she was all but all the world in his eyes. By every rule and law she should have been otherwise” (1728). Therefore, Kipling established Holden as knowing what he is doing, but doing otherwise as a means of finding happiness. This is indicative of the complexity nostalgia brings to the work. Just...

...“Take up the White Man's burden— / Ye dare not stoop to less—/ Nor call too loud on Freedom / To cloak your weariness. / By all ye will or whisper, / By all ye leave or do, / The silent sullen peoples/ Shall weigh your God and you.” reads Ruyard Kipling’s poem, “The White Man’s Burden.” Rudyard Kipling, who was a well-known author around the turn of the century. He was a prestigious college graduate who had won many awards, including the Nobel Prize for writing. This tells us, the readers, that he is a very credible writer. Now, academically, there is much discourse and disagreement in regards to weather the poem is satirical. Many scholars believe that Kipling’s sentiment expressed about Imperialism as genuine, especially considering some of his other work. However, some do believe the poem is satire, and that Kipling is mocking the concept of “The White Man’s Burden.” Regardless of whether or not the poem is satirical, and while disregarding that the poem is directly about the Philippine-American War, “The White Man’s Burden” still shows what pro-Imperialists believed. “The White Man’s Burden” shows modern readers the thought process that lead many Western forces to go to lands they had never been before and systematically destroy a people’s way of life....

Kim has the amazing ability to read and memorize books and other things in a way that seems nearly impossible. He truly has a rare gift. Kim is able to memorize things that like books, addresses, calendar dates, birthdays and several other things that that most people couldn’t even remember after a few hours or minutes. Contrary to this nearly unbelievable ability to read and retain information, Kim has a hard time doing things that most people don’t even think about doing or put very little effort into. Kim can’t simple things such as combing his hair, getting dressed, or holding a simple conversation is often a struggle for him. Kim is socially outgoing with poor social skills. Kim wants to engage in conversation but he’s not really sure what to talk about. If some ones asks him a question on something that he has memorized in the past he can give you answers all day, but if he is asked something like a metaphor he thinks that the metaphor is literal, and he tries to come up with an answer, whereas most people wouldn’t even think twice about simple metaphors, it almost registers in one’s mind automatically.

...1. What were the key steps in the early stages of Maria’s career development? The early stages of Sharapova’s career development began with her parents, and their willingness to support and push Sharapova in Tennis at an early age. Her parents moved to the United States when Maria was eight to seek ‘world-class coaching’. In the U.S Sharapova attended a top tennis academy and was able to hone her skill to where she started getting noticed as a tennis prodigy. She put her first mark in tennis as a thirteen year old when she won The Girls 16-and-under Eddie Herr Championship. 2. From the case how does the Business of Sports impact players’ careers (outside their sports activities)? Establishing a brand is key in any athletes career, in the case of Maria Sharapova she had ‘team sharapova’ that helped her build her brand. Like in Sharapova’s talent and winning are at the forefront of it all, without it it is impossible to build a power brand. Maria had all the talent in the world and winning the 2004 Wimbledon she exploded as tennis superstar on the court but also off the court as Max Eisenbud said “my phone did not stop ringing”. An athlete takes that winning image and sales it to corporations as the perfect person to the face of their brand. Athletes apart from their winning on the court, they have endorsements, licensing deals and merchandising the players earn huge amounts of money in the business of sports. Every endorsement is carefully chosen to fit and...

...threaten to kill you. It may sound a bit far-fetched but it is the sad reality for reality television star Kim Kardashian West. Not only has this event left her mentally scared but the men also got away with over 10 million dollars’ worth of her belongings, including 4.9 million dollar engagement ring. Many journalists have blamed Kardashian West for this horrific event, although there are masses of evidence to prove that this was in fact an inside job. The staff at the apartment were the only ones who knew Kardashians whereabouts, the police were not contacted by a member of staff and it was a very unprofessional job. One of the most obvious pieces of evidence that proves that this was an inside job, is that the staff at the apartment where the only one who knew that Kim did not have any protection at this time. When the incident occurred Kim was in her apartment with her assistant who was asleep and unaware of the silent struggle Kim was facing just one floor above her. Her bodyguard was out doing his job, looking after her two sisters, but how would an outsider know this? Of course the only people who were there to witness the bodyguard’s departure were the members of staff, leaving only them to blame....

If you watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians, it is very obvious that Kris is not thrilled they are living there and taking over her home. Kim doesn't use every room in Kris' house, but she is taking up a lot of the house. Radar Online shared that Kris Jenner actually bought herself a condo and now she won't be living in her own house with Kim and Kanye. Kris Jenner didn't just go and get a little apartment either. She actually spent $1.6 million on a condo for herself. That is a pretty great Christmas present, but Kris can obviously afford it. It is a two bedroom and four bathroom home, which should be perfect for Kris and her boyfriend Corey Gamble to be able to get some privacy. Kris' new home is 2,524-square-foot and was built in 1980. This is a really nice home. Kris' new condo is all on one floor....

...Small Business And Entrepreneurship Assignment Topic: "Rob Kardashian" Written By: Tariq Al Lawati Entrepreneurship is one of the most successful ways of starting a business, and this essay will outline the story of an upcoming entrepreneur who could or by all means will not make a huge success in the market. However, first lets explain what the term "entrepreneur" means. An entrepreneur is "Someone who exercises initiative by organizing a venture to take benefit of an opportunity and, as the decision maker, decides what, how, and how much of a good or service will be produced"[1]. In other words, it is someone who initiates or starts a business by spotting an opportunity in the market, has a suitable place to run it and by being the decision maker of the business can eventually make a self benefit or profit from it. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. Along with having a suitable place and having creative ideas, there are some risks that come into play as well. Therefore, we can safely say that an entrepreneur is by nature a risk taker. That being said, the risks are neither negligible nor too vigorous. Entrepreneurs like to describe themselves as moderate risk takers. It is to my understanding that entrepreneurship is more like a stereotype, in the sense that most entrepreneurs have the same set of traits or behaviors. According to many recourses, whether it was the internet, or the "Small Business and Entrepreneurship" text book that we study...

...The Real Opposition Margie Abbott, the wife of the nation’s Opposition Leader, knows better than most that behind every strong man stands an even stronger woman. Behind the media shy wife stands a woman who holds a strong philosophy towards life, the political arena and raising children. From juggling the lives of three teenage daughters to directing a community based Childcare Centre in St Ives whilst supporting her larger-than-life character husband, Margie does not overlook her role as the main coordinator of it all. With Tony’s job taking him away from home, Margie often feels the pressure to adopt the role of both mother and father. “It is not an easy existence but it is not an unusual one because often Tony was not about but look that’s life,” she says, “we just make the most of it and I think they are pretty balanced normal kids so it is all pretty good and I have done a good job.” It seems that she has done more than a good job in raising three young women, as the eldest is in her fourth year of studying International Studies Communications at The University of Technology Sydney, the second enjoying a GAP year and the youngest an aspiring Medical Student in her last year of high school. “I have always told our daughters that they can be and do anything they want to. And that hasn’t just happened in the last 8 weeks, that is something I have been telling them for the last 21 years.” Support and encouragement are two traits that Margie has passed on to her daughters...

...(1997) is directed by Curtis Hanson, he doesn't have this prolific history of stunning movies like some other directing heavy weights but he handles an a-list cast and directing duties admirably here. While most of the big names in the cast weren't technically BIG names yet they must have still had personalities or needed work to get the job done. Notably at least to me is Kim Basinger, someone who usually I do not enjoy, usually a weak point in movies for me, but in this she is perfectly fine, nothing to much, but not noticeable like usual, a feat in directing to me. The cast is name after name, Russel Crowe as the ham fisted Officer Bud White, Kevin Spacey playing the mercurial Detective Jack Vincennes, Guy Pearce in my eyes as his break out performance playing the golden child Ed Exley. You have a plethora of famous character actors to back these boys up, David Strathairn as the rich Pierce Patchett, Danny DeVito sliming the place up as Sid Hudgens a enquirer type reporter. James Cromwell plays the police chief Dudley Smith and plays him to aplomb. The cast is fantastic even getting a good turn from Kim Basinger as Lynn Bracken a whore cut to look like Veronica Lake. Cinematography is captured by Dante Spinotti and the movie is adapted from the novel written...

...Following a July 1940 conference in Kiel, the Abwehr (German intelligence) launched an espionage campaign against Britain involving both intelligence gathering and sabotage. The spies were sent over from Europe in various ways; some parachuted or came off a submarine. Others entered the country on false passports, or posing as refugees.[2] Public perception in Britain at that time was that the country was full of well trained German spies who were deeply integrated into society. There was widespread, as Churchill put it, "spy-mania". The truth was that between September and November 1940 fewer than twenty five agents arrived in the country; mostly of Eastern European extraction, badly trained and poorly motivated.[2] The agents were not difficult to spot - a task made still easier by the cracking of the German's Enigma encryption. MI5, with advance warning of infiltration, had no trouble picking up almost all of the spies sent to the country. Writing in 1972, John C. Masterman (who would later head the Twenty Committee) said that by 1941 MI5 "actively ran and controlled the German espionage system in [the United Kingdom]." It was not an idle boast; post-war records confirmed that none of the Abwehr agents, bar one who committed suicide, went unnoticed.[2][3] Once caught, the spies were deposited in the care of Lieutenant Colonel Robin Stephens at Camp 020 (Latchmere House, Richmond).[4][Note 1] After Stephens, a notorious and brilliant interrogator, had picked apart...
