...Cary Grant v George Clooney Since the first studios were built and the first movies were made, the stars of Hollywood have been admired and idolized. In terms of classy sophistication, two leading men reign supreme, Cary Grant and George Clooney. This suave pair may be similar but they are two very different people. Cary Grant and George Clooney are compared constantly in different aspects. One of the most striking similarities between the two is their physical appearance. Both men are the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. With year-long tans and deep brown eyes, Grant and Clooney look almost related. Another similarity between Cary Grant and George Clooney is their charismatic nature. Movie-goers have been drawn to their aura of class and suavity for decades. Additionally, Grant and Clooney never forgot the importance of charity. Both men were philanthropic and donated either time or money to a number of causes. Grant donated two salaries to two different war efforts. His salary from The Philadelphia Story went to support the British war effort and one-hundred thousand dollars from Arsenic and Old Lace went to the American war effort ("Cary Grant (I) - Biography"). Clooney has donated money to a number of different organizations and even created some of his own. His foundation, Not on Our Watch, was created to help stop the genocide in Sudan ("George Clooney"). Despite their similar looks and charm, Cary Grant and George Clooney’s careers started and...

...Leslie Van Houten consideration for freedom. Your decision reversing the board’s grant of parole for Ms. Houten’s release from the California Institution For Women should solely be based on substantial evidence that Houten is a dangerous threat if released back into society. With murder being the most inhumane act of crime, the continued punishment should be of a comparable caliber. It takes a great degree of motivation and psychological repugnancy to commit to the horrible acts in which Ms. Houten participated. There is an overwhelming mental barrier between final acts of defiance, and who is to say that once Houten is released she would be able to have full control of that barrier? Leslie Van Houten savagely held a pillow over Rosemary La Bianca’s face and watched as her family of cult members brutally murdered Mrs. La Bianca and her husband. Not only did she watch the attack, but also she admitted to violently stabbing Mrs. La Bianca a merely sixteen times even after realizing she had already been dead. This shows how much of little value human life means to her, because she engaged in committing a crime towards someone she’d never came into contact with prior to that night. Also, her consciousness of what she was physically doing had to be of great dominance because an average sound minded individual would not be able to commit such a heinous act without treason or motive. With her maniacal mental state being at an all time high, this leads to the fact that the...

...Can you imagine letting someone stick a pointy object in your eye ball and letting them scramble your brains? This is what Rosemary Kennedy, along with thousands of others went through. Today’s medical field has improved since those times. Lobotomy is one of the horrid medical treatments that used to be used. Rosemary Kennedy was a fearless, strong woman up until she was 23. She had shown some violent behavior, although nothing serious, and her father decided to force her into getting a lobotomy for her “moodiness.” Dr. Walter Freeman had performed only sixty-five lobotomies by 1941, which is when she received the procedure. It left her totally incontinent; She would often stare at completely blank walls, and her speech and verbals skills were diminished to merely an unintelligent babble. Eight years following her procedure, she had to be moved into a home for the disabled. Due to her lowered mental capacity, she became detached from her family. She later passed away of natural causes....

...I am submitting my third quarter book report for “Read and Comprehend a Literary or Non-fiction Text”. I read Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter by Kate Clifford Larson. The report includes the title, author, a short summary of the book, and three questions I would ask the author of the book. I wanted to know if Kate Larson ever met Rosemary. Furthermore, wanted to know if she believed that Jack’s presidency affected Rosemary, and what exactly Rosemary’s disability was. If the author had met Rosemary before she died she would have a first hand account of her life, but she may have just tracked down family friends of the Kennedy’s. This could have an effect on the accuracy of the story if there was tension between the Kennedy’s and...

...In today’s society and in the future, science and studying the natural world is tremendously important for the advancement of knowledge.

...Early American History—Zagarri Discussion Questions Rosemary Zagarri, “Chapter 5: A Democracy—For Whom?” After the constitution was created, what groups of people were still excluded from having the vote? (The vote is also known as suffrage or the franchise. I will use all three of these words interchangeably in our discussions.) White women and “People of color” would not be allowed to vote, but the way it is worded would make it seem like it would include everyone. What groups did the Jeffersonian Republicans decide should get the vote? (When I say Republicans, I do NOT mean the Republicans of today—two very different groups.) Men would be the only ones to be able to vote. They decided to continue to exclude women, children and free blacks. If they allowed women then they would have to allow other groups to as well. In the beginning though it was only men who had owned a...

...to become a corporate company. When entrepreneurs like Rosemary enters the market with limited sources, the very important thing is to create a team. The team members should be professional of their business in accordance with the jobs that they are doing. Rosemary is an instructor and she also hired 5 instructors to run the classes and training sessions. It is very suitable to hire instructors for training. And training is also a field that Rosemary has experience. Apart from them, she hired Kate Hoffman who also has an instructor experience and a close friend of her. Rosemary has given the marketing, facility up keep, scheduling and record keeping responsibilities to her. Although Kate has no experience on those specialized fields, Rosemary also has a limited knowledge about those tasks. It is very dangerous for a manager to give disproportionate responsibilities to the employees. If as a manager or company owner, you are not an expert on the marketing, accounting, human resources and other department’s functions, it is a good idea to hire professionals or receive consultancy. To run a company, it is not only enough to know the technical functionalities. The company should at least have a trustable accountant and cash handler in order to control the money flow. Since Rosemary is not an accountant it is very easy for her to lose the control about the company records. It is very clear that Kate is telling lie to Rosemary and unfortunately she has no records to proof Kate that...

...compelling both because students understand the business—fitness-training—and because there is a real problem to discuss. A trusted employee was both stealing cash and, by not recording all sales, diverting some revenues to herself. Discussion of this simple case helps students think about both the records needed to run the business and the challenges managers face in making sure the information put into the records is recorded accurately (i.e., the challenges faced in maintaining an effective internal control system). The case illustrates a common problem faced in many small businesses—lack of overlapping controls, or in this case, what auditors call “separation of duties.” Discussion To run this simple privately-held business, Rosemary does not have to be concerned with generally accepted accounting principles. She does need to keep records that will allow the easy preparation of a tax...
