...Hamm relocated to Los Angeles in 1995.[12] He moved into a house with four other aspiring actors and began waiting tables while attending auditions.[4] He found employment as an actor difficult despite representation by the William Morris Agency.[13] In 1998, having failed to obtain any acting jobs after three years,[1] he was dropped by William Morris. Hamm continued working as a waiter,[4] and briefly took a job as a set designer for a softcore pornography film.[14] After repeatedly failing to find acting jobs, he set his thirtieth birthday as a deadline to succeed in Hollywood,[5] observing that: You either suck that up and find another agent, or you go home and say you gave it a shot, but that's the end of that. The last thing I wanted to be out here was one of those actors who's 45 years old, with a tenuous grasp of their own reality, and not really working much. So I gave myself five years. I said, if I can't get it going by the time I'm 30, I'm in the wrong place. And as soon as I said that, it's like I started working right away.[4] In 2000, Hamm was cast as firefighter Burt Ridley on NBC's drama series Providence.[15][16] Hamm made his feature film debut in Clint Eastwood's 2000 space adventure Space Cowboys. His role consisted of one line. More substantial roles followed in the independent comedy Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)[17] and the war film We Were Soldiers (2002).[18] Hamm played the recurring role of police inspector Nate Basso on Lifetime's television...

...Matthew LaMountain Evaluation of season 7, episode 8 of Mad Men The episode starts off with a dream sequence in which Don Draper and some other business cohorts appear to be choosing a model for a line of fur coats. After two models are passed by, Racheal Menken (a former lover and client of Don) comes into the room. Don is shocked to see her there as she was formerly the head of a major clothing store. I feel that Racheal’s appearance in Don’s dream was a sign that she was one of the few women that Don has slept with that actually meant something to him. Coincidentally enough, he’s having this dream while in bed with a woman he hardly knows. Later in the episode, Don is casually told by his secretary that Racheal had died of leukemia a week prior. Knowing not to get overemotional, Don stands silently while the secretary leaves the room to get him a sandwich. In another scene, Don and Roger Sterling are sitting in a diner, surrounded by women. Don thinks he recognizes his waitress, but can’t recall where he’s met her. Roger pays the tab with a 100 dollar bill, which the waitress (who is a sex worker on the side) sees it as a payment from Don for a future “meeting”. Surely enough, Don comes into the diner a few days later and tries to talk to the waitress, asking again where he knows her. The waitress does not know him besides them meeting a few days prior. She takes a break and leaves through the back door, hinting at Don to follow. They proceed to have sex in the alley behind...

...On the AMC hit television show, Mad Men, the main character Don Draper spoke very powerful words when he said, “People tell you who they are but we ignore it, because we want them to be who we want them to be.”. The main character of the novel written by Craig Silvey titled, Jasper Jones dealt with the troubles of, as Don Draper said, people ignoring who somebody is simply because we want them to be who we want. Set in 1965 in a small West Australian town called Corrigan, main character, Charlie Butkin is faced with the fear of being drafted into war with Vietnam and seeing his friends treated poorly by others because of racism. The novel kick starts, however, when Charlie is interrupted by Jason Jones tapping on his window asking Charlie for help with “finding” the Shire President's daughter, Laura Wishart. On the night that Jasper knocked on Charlie's window he asked for help, but what Charlie did not realize was that it would change his life. Jasper took Charlie to his secret hideout and showed him his darkest secret, which was the Shire President's daughter Laura Wishart hanging from a tree. Jasper had only found the corpse and was seeking the help of Charlie in finding who was responsible for the murder. In chapter 2, we are introduced to Eliza Wishart, the sister of Laura, who is Charlie's secret crush. Another character introduced is Jeffery Lu, one of Charlie's friends who had been experiencing racism because he as Vietnamese. Eliza, along with Jeffery Lu accompany Charlie...

...Daniel Stern Fra vores første færd har vi en selvfornemmelse, og dermed evnen til at skelne mellem os selv og andre. Stern afviser Mahlers tanke om, at barnet gennemløber en symbiotisk fase, hvor det ikke skelner mellem sig selv og de andre. Sternes udviklingsteori er ikke beskrevet i stadier, men i en lagdelt model, hvor de forskellige udviklingstrin ikke afløser hinanden, men side om side. Begyndende selv | Babyen kan genkende morens duft og stemme. Tidligere i udviklingspsykologien mente man, at det nyfødte startede livet med at percipere (opfatte) verden meget kaotisk, og dets sanser endnu ikke var forbundet med hinanden. Den nye spædbarnsforskning har vist, at barnet er i stand til at opfatte verden i helheder og koordinere sit sanseudtryk. 0-1 måned: Børn er i stand til at overføre deres sanser amodal eller tværmodal perceptionIfølge Stern er barnet opmærksom på den følelsestone eller stemning (vitalitetsfølelser), det mærker i kroppen.Følelsestone = Stemning hos barnetMoren trøster barnet ved at klappe den på ryggen vitalitetsfølelsetværmodal perception.At kende til følelsen af at blive ammet, skiftet osv. et begyndende selv. | Kerneselv | I 2-3 måneders alderen sker der et stort skrift med barnet.

...narrative in television has been a major success in recent years. Shows like Dexter (2006-2013), Mad Men (2007-2015), and Breaking Bad(2008-2013) all feature the anti-hero and have been critically acclaimed and loved by viewers in America. Each of these T.V. shows’ success has been measured by user reviews, user ratings, Golden Globe awards and/or nominations, and Emmy awards and/or nominations. By definition, the anti-hero is a central character in a story, movie, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes. (Oxford Dictionaries) How then has this hero without heroic attributes been so popular in our culture? The anti-hero has been popular in recent years because viewers can relate to him, are able to perform moral...

...proteinerne i negle og hår ikke opløses i vand. Og det glæder mere generelt, de lange tråde som er fibre, hvorefter der også er noget der hedder: ”kugleprotein”. Et protein er ellers ret forskelligt, men er kemisk ens. Proteins opbyggelse består af tyve forskellige aminosyrer. Disse tyve byggesten/aminosyrer kan kombineres på mange forskellige måder og bruges til at opbygge flere tusinde forskellige proteiner. Men ni ud af de tyve aminosyrer kan kroppen ikke selv producere. Derfor er proteiner livsnødvendige for kroppen, for de ni aminosyrer skal menneskerne selv indtage det igennem mad. Men videre i opbyggelsen er en aminosyre delt op i to dele: Én amin-del (HNH) og én syre-del (O=C-O-H ). Aminosyrer består hovedsageligt også af kulstof, brint, ilt, og kvælstof. Men som sagt er der flere tusinde af aminosyrer i et protein-molekyle. Aminosyrerne er også sat sammen i kæder med den samme binding. Altså en peptid-binding. De kan også kaldes peptid-kæder. Indtagelse af proteinerne, som sagt før: ” Så skal de ni ud af tyve indtages igennem mad”. Det mad som protein findes for det meste i er bl.a. i kød, hjerter, fisk, æg, ost, mælk, ærter og andre frø-kerner. Hvis vi tager æg (hønseæg), udgør 16 procent protein af blommen og 10 procent protein af hviden. Hvis vi skal have noget mad med meget protein procent i, er det sådan noget som sojabønner (35 procent) protein og korn...

...18 and for men was 21. Of course some men were not to happy about this so one man decided to take a stand. Craig, the Plaintiff, sued David Boren, defendant and the Governor of Oklahoma (Oyez 1). He was governor at the time and he is now the President of the University of Oklahoma. The differences for the drinking age between age for men and women were for the consumption of beer at a 3.2% alcohol level (Oyez 1). Craig claimed this violated Equal Protection clause from the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution (Casebriefs 1). The issue was does the Oklahoma statute violate the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (Casebriefs 1). The procedural history was that it went to the state court and the state provided reams of statistical evidence suggesting that young men were more dangerous drinkers (Casebriefs 1). The Supreme Court happened to disagree with the state and look at the case. The Supreme Court believed that “2% of the men and just under 1% of the women between 18 and 21 had been arrested for alcohol-linked driving violations hardly constituted grounds for different treatment” (Casebriefs 1). The Supreme Court ruled that the law was unconstitutional and many Oklahoma citizens were very mad and upset with Craig because now everyone in Oklahoma had to be 21 to drink (Oyez 1). Men just could have had 18-year-old women to buy them beer and it would not have mattered, they did it anyway. The men and especially women were so mad. Now Craig...

...af flaskens indhold målt i rumfang er alkohol. Dette er IKKE det samme som at 4,6 % af massen er alkohol. Men da alkoholens massefylde er 7,9 g/cl finder man nemt antallet af gram alkohol ved at benytte følgende udregning: 1. 1 pilsner indeholder 0, 046 · 33cl · 7,9g/cl = 11,99 gram alkohol 2. 2 pilsnere indeholder 0, 046 · (2 · 33cl) · 7,9g/cl = 23,98 gram alkohol osv. Herved fremkommer formlen: Gram alkohol = alkoholprocenten · total volumen af drikkevare · 7,9 g/cl "En genstand" er defineret som 12 gram alkohol, så når man drikker en alm. øl, svarer det ifølge ovenstående til at man indtager ca. 1 genstand. Det er en udbredt myte, at en snaps på 2 cl også svarer til en genstand. Men dette er – som det vil fremgå af nedenstående opgave - stærkt overdrevet!

...1) What is at stake in this decision for Carol and for Davis Press? Why? There is a lot at stake in this decision for Carol and Davis Press. Let’s take a look at what would happen if the book “Meccan Madness” were to be published. Referring to the past and what had happen to Rushdie when his book “The Satanic Verse” was released, it was mayhem. Death threats were issued, Rushdie was wanted dead for several years, and innocent people were killed and much more were injured. If Carol decides to publish Taajwar’s book, there is a possibility history could repeat itself, which includes Davis Press making high profits by selling the book, but also losing millions of dollars that went towards the security of employees. If Carol decided not to publish the book, it is obvious they will lose on the chance of making high profits. However, all the employees will remain safe and not have to fear what will happen to them if “Meccan Madness” is published. 2) Who are the stakeholders here? To whom (or what) does Davis owe her allegiance? The stakeholders in this case are the employees of Davis Press. The employees play a major role in this case because of the amount of work they do for the company. Another stakeholder in this case is the government because in the event problems occur between countries. This sort of situation happen when Rushdie’s book was published where there was issues between Britain and Iran. Carol owes her loyalty to the employees for the amount of...

...In the Elizabethan tragedy Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, Gertrude can be viewed as being morally ambiguous at many times in the play causing the reader to question whether she is an evil character or somewhat good. Moral ambiguity reveals the true feelings and often mixed emotions, making it difficult to determine one’s motives, guilt, or regret. In the play, there are many instances in which Gertrude exhibits moral ambiguity and leads the reader to question her intentions. At the beginning of the play, the reader is introduced to a character who has married her former brother-in-law almost immediately after her husband’s death. This causes many to question whether she really loved her husband or not. If she had truly loved him, she probably would not have married so quickly. She would most likely be grieving over her loss and have no desire to marry any one else, especially in such a short amount of time. This also leads to another question of whether or not she was involved with Claudius even before her husband’s death. Their relationship most likely did not start after the death of Hamlet Sr., because most women would not have recovered from their loss and found love within a month’s time. This reveals that she most likely did not in fact, love her husband. If she were involved with Claudius before Hamlet Sr.’s murder, it is presumable that she knew something about her husband’s impending death. The fact that she knew anything at all about it causes the reader to question...

...Compare how the female characters are presented in Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ and Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’ One similarity that Lady Macbeth and Curley’s wife share, (other than the fact that they both have no names, and are referred to their husband names), is that they both receive the most tragic punishment at the end in consequence of their own actions. On the one hand Lady Macbeth leads herself to her own death when she starts sleepwalking and going ‘mad’. In Act 5 Scene 1, the doctor himself loses hope; “This disease is beyond my practice.” He says, “Yet I have known those which have walked in their sleep who have died holily in their beds.” The doctor calls it a ‘disease’ and shows that they cannot do anything about it. This also indicates how women were treated; and how they were not cared for as much as men were and they were immediately left for mad, whereas if it was the men, they would do everything to find out what is wrong with them and find a cure, but women were left to die as mad and crazy. Lady Macbeths ‘disease’ is all a cause of what she has done as she is full of guilt, especially after she finds out that Macduff’s wife and children are dead; “The thane of Fife had a wife. Where is she now?” Lady Macbeth realises that it was her influence on Macbeth that has caused him to continue committing crimes, and take innocent live away by brutally...

...Are women more law-abiding then men? Why or why not? By Tayla Batten In most societies of the past and present, women are perceived as being inferior and passive. Women are biologically seen to be emotional, docile, nurturing and quite dependent on the male partner, while men are seen to be aggressive, arrogant, dominant and independent. (Lombroso, 1998) Cesare Lombroso, one of the earliest theorists of female criminality based his theory purely on a strict biological point of view. Lombroso stated “females are less inclined to commit crimes because women are more conservative, they are less exposed to society since their duties are mainly in the household, which gives them less of an opportunity to commit crimes, and because their brains are less developed than males, which causes them to act more primitive.” (Lombroso, 1998) When a female commits a violent and brutal crime, it come’s as a shock to society because women are not expected to be criminals, and therefore they are labeled ‘mad not bad’ according to Lee Bryant, author of ‘Feminism and Crime’. Lee Bryant argues, “The perception that women may be ‘mad’ because they ‘dared to go against their natural biological givens such as ‘passivity’ and a ‘weakness of compliance’ ‘appears to originate from the view that women who conform as pure, obedient daughters, wives and mothers benefit society and men”. (Bryant, 2000) Lombroso’s theory looks at that characteristics of the offender and determines that the female offender...

Naipaul started his career as a freelance writer with his first written work of fiction; Miguel Street in the year 1959. Miguel Street is a semi-autobiographical novel set in war-time Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Naipaul wrote this novel while he was employed in the BBC. Miguel Street won the 1961 Somerset Maugham Award. As Trinidad is V.S. Naipaul’s childhood home, he minutely observed its tradition and culture. The readers are introduced to a galaxy of characters with different professions and features. They love to live in illusions and meet failures at every stage of their life. The whole novel is narrated by an unnamed fatherless boy who himself is a part of a group of kids on Miguel Street. He uses a humorous and satirist tone to describe the people who make up Miguel Street. The whole novel is divided into seventeen episodes and each episode describes the life and its situations targeting one character at a time. This approach of picking up one character at a time made this work easy to understand. The novel contains a number of characters with great ambitions that never went anywhere and are only left to be recorded...

...stop this. There were many discriminatory laws in place called the Jim Crow Laws, which basically made it legal for whites to treat blacks with cruelty. In the short story “Battle Royal” by Ralph Ellison, there are many examples of the cruelties done to blacks by whites. Throughout the story, the white men hurt the protagonist and the other black boys emotionally, psychologically, and physically, and yet the protagonist still feels that blacks should follow the cruel and unjust laws for the good of society. In the beginning of the novel, the white men use a naked stripper to gain control of the protagonist and his group and hurt them psychologically and emotionally. As the African American literature critic Lee states, “ the stripper is a synthetic metaphor of white Mother America, Pocahontas, Martha Washington, the Scarlet Woman—white-fleshed, an object for rape and adoration, a pleasure-object--and yet for this “Nigger” a locus classicus of threat, a taboo, a castration” (Lee 23). This woman is a metaphor for how the government is also controlling the black people’s lives. The stripper is meant as pleasure for men, but for black men, it could mean serious trouble. If black men look at a naked white woman, they could be put in jail, beaten, or even killed in the most extreme cases. The black boys, including the protagonist are psychologically and emotionally distraught. The protagonist “wanted at one and the same time to run from the room, to sink through the floor, or go to...
