...When most people see the name Angelina Jolie they only think of the talented actress, the significant other of Brad Pitt or the celebrity with the very diverse children but she is so much more than that. Since 2001 Jolie has been working alongside the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to bring awareness to the unfortunate situations of refugees from around the world. She has traveled to and volunteered in many third world countries such as; Sierra Leone, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Iraq and North Caucasus. In addition to this, she along with Brad Pitt founded the Jolie-Pitt foundation which is dedicated to eradicating extreme rural poverty, protecting natural resources and conserving wildlife. This foundation also donates to many other humanitarian groups, one being Doctors without Borders. In 2009 Angelina Jolie gave the opening speech for a World Refugee Day event being held at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington D.C. Throughout this speech Jolie concentrates not on the horrible conditions that refugees endure but on the spirit that they have from being in these situations. When speaking to millions of Americans she doesn’t rely on facts or statistics but instead she uses anecdotal evidence, visualization and pathos to get her point across. The purpose of this speech is not to persuade but to inform the people of America about the amazing people she has met while traveling to third world countries. Furthermore, she is trying to show people that...

...member of the “Kissy girls”, whose job was to hunt boys down and kiss them till they screamed. Another hobby was to collect snakes and lizards. She even had a favourite lizard, called Vladimir. Later she was a student at Beverly Hills High School far from being beautiful. She wore braces, glasses and was painfully skinny. So the students teased her but they didn’t know that she had an impressive collection of knives. Her movie career At the age of seven she appeared in her first movie but her breakthrough came with Girl, Interrupted. It followed her big hit: her role in Tomb Raider, where she had to master a British accent. She had to become familiar with kick-boxing, street-fighting, yoga and ballet. In 2005 she released Mr. and Mrs. Smith, where she and Brad Pitt starred as a bored couple. Now she is married with Brad Pitt and although she is committed to motherhood she does charitable work...

...preserving white interests in Zimbabwe. Discuss in relation with the (i) The Home-Smith Settlement Proposals, (ii)Détente, (ii) The Anglo-American Initiative, (iii)The Geneva Conference and (iv) The Malta Conference During the struggle of Zimbabwe, when the war between the nationalist and the Smith regime was intensifying efforts were made by various countries such as Britain, South Africa, United States of America, Zambia, Botswana and Malawi to find or to implement peaceful ways by which Southern Rhodesia would achieve its independence other than violence. These strategies included the Home Smith proposals, Détente, The Anglo-American Initiative, The Geneva Conference and The Malta Conference. However these failed to achieve independence in Southern Rhodesia as they entrenched the interests of the whites, and failed to gain favour in the eyes of the nationalist. This essay will look at how each of these talks entrenched the interest of the white settlers. Home- Smith settlement proposals 1971-4 The period from 1971-1974 was a period marked by the Anglo- Rhodesian settlement proposals. For the first time during this period Africans became the masters of their own fate. The period also marked the emergence of African National Council by Muzorewa and Zvobgo and the intensification of the armed struggle. (Ngunyoni and Nyandoro1979; p 187) 24 November 1971 The Smith-Home pact was signed, Home persuaded Smith to increase African representation in Parliament; majority rule to start...

...Now 8th grade was different; everything came all at once then slowly tortured me. The sudden desire to wear black skinny jeans, straighten my hair, and coalesce into this introverted figure resulted in what my then U.S. Studies teacher, Mr. Grimes, referred to as a, “ditch that was only getting deeper.” He was not wrong; my grades dropped due to a vacuous priority choice. I did not care about my family, my body, or the people who believed in me. The dilapidation of my self-esteem that year along with my behavior resulted into a path right down the River Styx all over...

...Introduction On March 23rd to March 25th Iona Presentation College celebrated their musical for 2018 Thoroughly Modern Millie. Directed by Mr Joshua Brant, choreographed by Mrs Coby Brant and musically directed by Mr Aron Wyatt. Set in Manhattan of 1922 Millie Dillmount is on the prowl from a wealthy husband because she is a modern and believes money comes before love.

However, I was intrigued due to the fact their was a new director as well as the show had been done before ten years ago. I also had never heard of Thoroughly Modern Millie before so I was...

I am an experienced cook and have worked in the kitchen at the Franksville RSL Club for the past three years. It is a high-turnover environment where members of the team each have their responsibilities, but we all chip in with whatever needs to be done and work closely together. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are an essential part of the job, and I am valued for my energetic and enthusiastic approach to work. With over five years of experience working in professional kitchens, I am adept at all aspects of food preparation and cooking, and at the RSL Club the dishes I prepare include gourmet salads, steak and chips, Thai curry, grilled fish, lamb, soba noodles and stir-fry. This is only a small sample of my repertoire, which is wide-ranging. I also hold a Food Handlers Certificate and pride myself on maintaining the highest standards of food hygiene. After I graduated from high school, I also travelled for one year around the world, working in pubs, cafes and restaurants as I went. That experience taught me so much about the cooking and hospitality industry and every role...

...Stephen A. Douglas, Lawyer, Legislator, Register and Judge: 1833-1843 Part 2 Douglas did not allow his duties as Register of the Land Office e to interfere with his interest in politics his law practice or speculation in lots in Springfield, Bloomington, Clinton and other owns in central Illinois. He attended the Sangamon and Morgan courts during their three sessions each year and all the courts of the First Circuit in September and October, 1837. He formed a law partnership with john d. urquhar in Springfield in April, 1838. Writing to Levi Woodbury, secretary of the treasury, October 6, 1837, Douglas declared that he had attended no political meetings since his appointment as register seven months before. However, he expected to attend such meetings in the future. A week later, the Whig sangamo journal accused Douglas of working toward a nomination for congress, but concluded that “electioneering was one of the implied duties of a government officer” His plans for nomination to congress by a convention of carefully selected delegates were then maturing. When the convention, with delegates from approximately half of the thirty-four countries of the third district, met at Peoria on November 20, he was nominated by acclamation. His vigorous campaign during the first seven months of 1838, over an area of some 25,000 square miles, cannot be treated here in detail. Traveling much of the time in company with john t. Stuart, his Whig opponent, he spoke once in each of the thirty-four...
