Dr. Harvey Wiley: Courageous Pioneer And Crusader
... was following the trend. People who had once lived in farms and small villages, became concentrated around factories and industrial areas. The family no longer raised it's own food, or depended on it neighbors - the town baker, butcher and druggist - for it's simple needs. Food supply was now distanced from the source, making preserved and canned foods necessary. Corporations and large manufacturers took on the business of supplying food and were prepared to make more profit at any cost. Honest manufacturers were put at a competitive disadvantage and were forced to adopt the practices that could enable them to meet the prices of the less ethical competition. Thes ...

Yasujiro Ozu (1903--1963)
... make propoganda films.
As we said above Ozu's cinematic style is very different from most
of the directors. First of all his camera placement is very importent, in
his films the camera is always close to the ground the height is not
importent as long as the camera stays lower than the object being shot.
Ozu developed his own tranzition system,he was putting framed shots of the
surroundings between the scenes to tell us that the scene and the setting
has changed. usualy these shots are longer than normaly it should be. One
of the very important style of Ozu is he did not obey to the 180 degree
rule infact he used all the 360 degree space. Ozu orbitted the camer ...

Gandhi’s life was filled with contradictions. He was described as a gentle man who was an outsider, but a ...

... clean subjects,
and they're very thought out. Most comedians who use a lot of profanity- they'
re using it for fast punchlines... I can put a joke together well enough that I
don't need dirty words.”
Jerry has a role model for kids and comedians to follow. He started a
new genre in comedy. Here's an example of Jerry's humor “Dogs are broke all
their lives. You know why they have no money? No pockets. They see change on

man why is the bride marrying the groom?” Jerry has not only contributed to

Bill Gates

section of the SAT. His high school English teacher Anne Stephens was amazed at
Gates' memory. She commented on how Gates had remembered a 3-page soliloquy for
a school play in one reading. He read often, tried to take up the trombone, had
no interest in philosophy but rather thought of himself as a "scientist." His
science teacher, William Dougall, remembers if the teacher wasn't going fast
enough, "Bill always seemed on the verge of saying, 'But that's obvious.'" Gates
once said to a teacher that some day he would be a millionaire. A grossly
underestimated statement. Today Gates is one of the richest men in the world.
In the fall of 1968, Bill Gates ...
