...Catch Me if You Can: An Entertaining Roller Coaster Ride Imagine having the ability to become an airline co-pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer all before turning the age of twenty-one. Well believe it or not; this became a reality for Frank Abagnale Jr. as he infiltrated the system in the 1960’s. The Steven Spielberg directed movie “Catch Me if You Can” brings out this true story, in which a sixteen year old runaway Frank Abagnale Jr. (played by Leonardo Dicaprio) began his “brilliant three year run as a master of deception” (Hollywood.com). In this three year stint, he also forges over a million dollars of fake checks across the country, creates several aliases for himself, and manages to become the youngest person on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. Carl Hanratty, an FBI Bank Fraud Agent (played by Tom Hanks) engages with Abagnale Jr. in what Starpulse.com calls a “a highly enjoyable cat-and–mouse escapade.” After Frank Abagnale Jr. was eventually caught, Carl Hanratty realized that Abagnale’s check-savviness could be a benefit to his department in the FBI. He later went on to have a successful career as an FBI Agent in Check Fraud, instead of facing a timely prison sentence. The movie flows well due to a plethora of acting skills, well-written dialogue, and an entertaining back and forth battle that Abagnale Jr. encounters with Hanratty and also within himself. “Catch Me’s acting shines,” Hollywood.com raves. The movie contains a respectable and veteran class of Hollywood talent...

His primary technique was defrauding banks using different fake check schemes eventually amounting to over 2.5 million dollars. Along with a friend, Frank wrote his story which was later turned into an autobiographical film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Steven Speilberg.

...Whether I am happy, sad, or mad, The Dave Matthews Band’s album “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King” always lifts my spirits and puts me in a better mood; their songs are inspirational. One of the songs that touch me the most is called “Funny the Way It Is”. This song is about the good and bad things going on in the world. The point being made is that even though many wonderful things are happening, bad things are occurring at the exact same time. “Funny the way it is, if you think about it/ One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out/ Funny the way it is, not right or wrong/ On a soldier's last breath, his baby's being born/ Funny the way it is, not right or wrong/ Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song/ Funny the way it is, if you think about it/ One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out” Not only does it discuss the fine times and poor times in life, but also how people take the privileges they have for granted. While kids say they hate school and drop out, there are others that appreciate an education and will do anything to get it, such as walking ten miles to school. Basically, the song tells listeners that there are so many ironic moments happening every minute of every day and people do not even realize it. I love this song’s message and the realness of it. Another one of my favorite songs is called “You...

...become a Pediatrician, and then I thought about becoming a psychologist to counsel young kids with their problems. For me I never really wanted to counsel people because I feel like counseling someone is just telling them more about the problems that they already know they have. I took the time out to interview a day care provider because I felt that maybe having to deal with the same kids all day everyday would help me get to know them and guide them as they got older. The day care provider’s name is Jalisha Jerome. Here are some of the things that I asked her and her responses. Q 1: What is the name of your business? A: The name of my business is Just say Kids. Q 2: How long have you had your business for? A: .Just Say kids has been in operation since May 28, 1995. Q 3: What exactly is your business? A: Just Say Kids is a licensed family child care pre-school program. Q 4 : How did you get into your business ? A: I got into the child care business when I was attending UCLA through a girlfriend of mine. I was in between jobs at the time because of all the schedule changes that occur when you go to college and Tiffany told me that the director was looking for a child care assistant. I interviewed for the position and that’s where it all started. Through that business I learned everything about how a high quality program is ran. Q 5: Why did you decide to open up your own child care business? A: I decided to go into business for myself because I felt like I had...

...idea; they swear by it, run their companies with it, and will tell you it is at the very root of their success. Other people hate it. They call it mean, harsh, impractical, demotivating, political, unfair—or all of the above. Once, during a radio talk show about my first book, a woman in LA pulled off the highway to call in and label differentiation “cruel and Darwinian.” And that was just the beginning of her commentary! Obviously, I am a huge fan of differentiation. I have seen it transform companies from mediocre to outstanding, and it is as morally sound as a management system can be. It works. Companies win when their managers make a clear and meaningful distinction between top- and bottom-performing businesses and people, when they cultivate the strong and cull the weak. Companies suffer when every business and person is treated equally and bets are sprinkled all around like rain on the ocean. — 37 — UNDERNEATH IT ALL When all is said and done, differentiation is just resource allocation, A company has only so which is what good leaders do and, much money and in fact, is one of the chief jobs they managerial time. are paid to do.

...Jay-Z Makes Hint That Beyonce May Be Pregnant With Second Child, During Paris Concert The Huffington Post UK Posted: 14/09/2014 09:34 BST Updated: 5 hours ago They've been weathering reports for months that their union is in its last weeks, days, hours, with only the thought of the massive cheque they'll share at the end of their joint tour keeping Jay-Z and Beyonce on the road together. Now, however, it seems there are some happier rumours flying around, after, according to spectators, Jay-Z changed the lyrics in one of his hit songs 'Beach is Better', rapping instead, "Cos she pregnant with another one." Is there another one on the way for Beyonce, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy? Could this be his way of slyly tipping the wink that the pair are expecting their second child, a little sibling for toddler daughter Blue Ivy? Fans will be crossing their fingers, as nobody wants these two to split up - they're unarguably the most powerful, charismatic couple in the music business right now. Earlier in the summer, there were all sorts of reports that the pair had taken to travelling separately, and that Beyonce was on the hunt for a new home in New York. And of course, there was the elevator debacle involving her sister Solange, filmed giving Jay-Z a good kicking, an incident for which, according to the brushed-down participants, "each has taken their responsibility". Then, Beyonce's father and former manager Mathew Knowles chipped in, helpfully, calling all the split rumours "a Jedi...
