Angelina Jolie: Pretty Little Angel Eyed Beauty Beyond Sight
October 22, 2011
News Worldwide — The highest paid actress since 2009 who earned a nomination for an won an Academy Award for Best Actress, won an Academy Award once, Screen Actors Guild Awards twice and Golden Globe Awards thrice, a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the most beautiful and astounding Hollywood actress, Angelina Jolie Voight, has ruled the hearts of men and women alike for over two decades. 
Her first appearance was as a child beside her father in Lookin’ to Get Out in 1982. Her film career began with Cyborg 2 in 1993. The thriller and my all time favorite Hackers (1995) was her first lead role. She continued to mesmerize her audience with George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and Girl Interrupted (1999). Her worldwide fame continued to grow with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and made her count herself among the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003). Next comes another most favorite of mine, starring with Brad Pitt, she overwhelmed her fans with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and an amazing action-thriller Wanted (2008). She got critically acclaimed for her performances in A Mighty Heart (2007) and Changeling (2008). The list goes on and on.
Angelina Jolie was born at 9:09 am PST to a couple of established actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand on June 4th, 1975 in Los Angeles, California. The word Angelina is referred to as “pretty” or “Lovely” in French. In entirety her name means “Pretty Little Angel Eyes”. Her middle name used to be “Jolie” which she changed afterwards so did her brother James Heaven Voight. Angelina Jolie had a on and off relationship with her father. They both had reconciliation with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) but it got worse by 2002 especially when Voight claimed that she had “serious mental problems”.
Her mother resigned from her acting profession to concentrate on raising her kids after she separated from her husband a year after Angelina Jolie was born. She married a filmmaker Bill Day and moved to Palisades, New York when Jolie was six. Five years later the family moved back to Los Angeles. Angelina Jolie appeared in various stage productions after deciding that it was acting that she wanted to adopt as a profession. She had trained for two years at Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. She wanted to become a funeral director so at the age of 14 she dumped her acting classes and started modeling in New York and London. She came back to her theater studies after breaking up with her boyfriend.
Angelina Jolie couldn’t bond herself emotionally with her fellow students in Beverly Hills High School mostly due to her thin book worm appearance. From her teens throughout till early twenties, she suffered suicidal depression subjected herself to self-harm and use of just about every drug practically possible.
During her work as an actress at different locations, she became aware of the global humanitarian crisis and took personal interest in field missions around the world to help refugees in more than 20 countries. She promoted the cause through mass media using her public profile. Her awareness arose during the filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) in Cambodia. She joined UNHCR and has won various awards for her humanitarian work around the globe.
In human terminology, Beauty isn’t the power by which a woman charms her lover and terrifies her husband neither is it measured by having a cute face or a geometrically attractive body. Beauty is the manifestation of our thoughts which comes from our emotions. Emotionally charged Angelina Jolie isn’t just beautiful, she is beautiful beyond sight.Copyright © 2011

She was raised in borough’s Castle Hill and had her entire academic career in catholic schools. She has two sisters, Lynda and Leslie. She had been training in dancing and singing since she was 19 and self financed her lessons.

Continuing her career as an actor she had made a recognizing appearance earlier in an action-packed film Money Train (1995) while her performance in Out of Sight (1998) earned her a second ALMA Award.
She had made a recognizing appearance to me when I happened to watch her debut studio album On the 6 (1999) which featured her well-known-around-the-globe massive hit “If You Had My Love”. Her second album J.Lo (2001) sold 8 Million copies worldwide. A few of her hit singles include ‘If You Had My Love 1999, ‘Waiting for Tonight’ 1999, ‘Feelin’ So Good’ 2000, ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’ 2001, ‘Play’ 2001, ‘Ain’t It Funny’ 2001, ‘I’m Real’ 2001, ‘Ain’t It Funny’ 2002, ‘I’m Gonna Be Alright’ 2002, ‘Jenny from the Block’ 2002, ‘All I Have’ (feat.

She had a number of animal rights organizations ridiculed by use of fur in Lopez’s fashion lines demonstrated by over a hundred protestors from PETA (People for the Ethical treatment of Animals).

A woman is incomplete without a fragrance; Lopez introduced “Glow by J.Lo”, her debut in perfume industry followed by “Still” and “Miami Glow by J.Lo” by 2004, “Live by Jennifer Lopez” in 2005, “Love at First Glow by J.Lo” and “Live Luxe” in 2006, “Glow After Dark” in 2007, and so on.

This last Thursday was then amended by the Senate to be fourth Thursday at last.
5. Who thought of a “Turkey” as a National Bird of the United States?
The bald eagle was chosen by Continental Congress to be the national symbol for the United States. A quite unusual bird was advised by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, the “Turkey”. The argument was that the appropriate national symbol should be a Turkey because of being a “native American” and much respectable and courageous bird with a little seasoning of vanity.
6. Who proclaimed a national Thanks Giving Day?
It is said that President John Adams, President James Madison, Franklin Roosevelt, and President George H.W. Bush all issued at their respective times a proclamation that Thanksgiving Day be observed a national holiday and a day when we say to our Lord almighty “Thanks for Giving us a successful harvest season, a good fortune and your blessings upon our nation. ”

The turkeys would have said “thanks” and giving them an expression-of-gratitude-look while boarding a plane to fly to Orlando, Florida as honorary grand marshals in a thanksgiving parade in Disney World.Copyright © 2011

Thanksgiving Day: A Catholic Perspective
October 17, 2011
News Worldwide – The Thanksgiving Day is an important civil holiday celebrated annually in United States and Canada from agricultural point of view. The holiday is celebrated in both Canada on second Monday of October and on the fourth Thursday of November in the US to thank Lord Almighty for giving them a good harvest every year.
The celebrations date back to Spanish occupation of the US in Saint Augustine, Florida on September 8 1565. It had been a mixture of Native American and European traditions. Thanksgiving festivals were celebrated before and after the harvest in European tradition while in US celebrations were initiated after the hard work of harvesting their crops.
It is explicable to rejoice after a good harvest season with the community and commemorate the harvest by prayers and acknowledge the blessings of the Lord to have made the season as success. Evidence suggests that the modern thanks giving day was first celebrated in Plymouth, Massachusetts prompted by a good harvest in 1621, while an earlier observance was recorded in Virginia in 1619 by European colonists.
This tradition had become a customary event in late 1660’s in New England colonies. The first official national observance occurred on November 26, 1789 when President Washington proclaimed the day as a public thanks giving day to acknowledge the blessings of God Almighty recommended to be observed as a national holiday. It was particularly intended to ask our Lord Almighty to pardon our disobedience and other sins, promote religious values and to ask for a shower of his blessings upon his loyal followers.
New York saw its first thanks giving day in 1817 which afterwards had spread throughout the United States. The national observance proclamation came at the hands of President Lincoln in 1863, supported and continued by President Johnson in 1867 and by President Grant in 1870. No change has been observed ever since.
Historians are of the view that the origin of Thanksgiving Day comes from Hebrew feast of Tabernacles and ancient Greek harvest feast Thesmophoria and Roman Cerelia. The idea of Thanksgiving Day in 1621 by Governor Bradford had not taken a catholic recognition till recently in 1911.
The day of thanksgiving has lost its religious significance and has become more of a “Turkey Feast” rather a day of prayers for acquiring pardon from our sins and other transgressions. Canadians observe Thanksgiving Day as a legal holiday intended to acknowledge the whole of mankind’s reliance on blessings and rewards of our Lord Almighty.
The “turkey feast” had been officially pardoned as The Presidential Turkey Pardon tradition began during George H.W. Bush’s first event of thanksgiving in 1989. The National Turkey Federation (NTF) and PENB (Poultry & Egg National Board) had been donating a turkey to white house on each event of Thanksgiving Day. Presidents had been feasting on donated birds by the NTF and PENB till the turkey got to live another day thanks to President George H.W. Bush since 1947. It is said that by this tradition two turkeys won a trip to Disney World on a thanksgiving turkey presentation at the White House in the days of George W. Bush in 2007.

Scarlett Johansson wants an eye for an eye as punishment for the nude photos hacker
October 14, 2011
Scarlett Johansson nude photos hacker had also accessed private conversations of the celebs
News Worldwide — Nude Scarlett Johansson photos were not the only leak, which had worried her so much. There was more. And it was not small or ignorable. 
The moment Scarlett Johansson had declared that she has reported to FBI to look into her matter for leaked photos, many analysts and celebrity followers started buzzing about the fact that this is not the first time that any celebrity’s photos have been leaked, whether it be of nude nature even, so why is Scarlett Johansson taking such a huge step for her leaked photos anyway? There was of course more and now that the hacker is caught by FBI it is revealed in that he had also accessed a lot more than just nude Scarlett Johansson photos from her cell.
It is reported that Chaney stole some very private information such as the private conversations of the celebrities, the financial information and screenplays. It is important to add here that the hacker is an individual and used emails and cell phones hacking to access all the information.
In an initial statement yesterday, Chaney the hacker said that he was stealing the nude photos just for the sake of thrill and had no interest, intention or plan to sell them anywhere but now that it is known that he did not steel the photos only but also financial information, the sensitivity of the matter is highlighted and known why Scarlett was so worried in the first place. She actually went for a preemptive measure which would secure her later.
Another interesting fact about this hacker is that he has been involved in steeling such info of other female celebrities only. It confirms that he might have plans to black mail them after sometime. Mila Kunis leaked pictures were also done by this guy.
In a statement the hacker said that he is sorry for what he did and apologized. But I suppose one need to ask Scarlett what punishment should be given? Though, I know there is a law for everything but if we follow some religious schools of thought, a religion says that a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. So in this case a nude picture for a nude picture. I am sure this will work as a warning. Copyright © 2011

Was Scarlett Johansson photos hacker planning a website of leaked photos?
October 13, 2011
News Worldwide — Scarlet Johansson photos hacker is arrested by FBI. The arrest was made a while back while the identity of hacker is not revealed yet. The most interesting aspect of this hacker’s hacking and personality is that he an individual and yet has never demanded any money or profit for the photos he hacks. This has led him to be termed as the worst business man all around the world. Moreover, it is stated by officials that he has been hacking the photos just for thrill. The hacker has said to be hacking info of not just Scarlett but also Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba, Ali Larter, and Emma Caufield.
Personally speaking, I do not agree with the opinion that the hacker was collecting the photos just for thrill and for no profit. I have more on this aspect of his personality. May be the hacker is not demanding any money for the photos he has been hacking from phone and emails of the actress for now but he may be thinking to use them to gain long term fame and money.
He might be thinking of having a website like that of wiki leaks. Collecting such photos can be the initial stage of his work. He might have been looking for such personal sort photos and once an adequate number is there he would have made them available publicly like WikiLeaks and thus turning what is not called as worst business today.
A month back scarlet Johansson photos were leaked on internet and she had reported FBI to look into the matter. The photos were hacked from her cell phone where her back side could be seen nude while she taking her photo in the mirror. This was not the first time that a celebrity faced hacking of her photos from cell phone or email but certainly it was first time that it was reported to FBI for enquiry. Now that the hacker who is arrested would be brought into lame light after a while and many would be waiting to learn the real reason of his hackings. Copyright © 2011

The Sweetest Day: Another among a Huge Stack of “Commercialized Holidays”.
October 13, 2011
News Worldwide – In a world driven by gluttony and ruled by war-for-profit organizations and governments, commercialization of rational and irrational holidays doesn’t bolt me from the blue. While most of the holidays are just an excuse to give companies an opportunity to make more money a selective few make sense of even deserving to be a holiday. Of course Sweetest Day is not one of them. Any person with the least common sense would know the absurdity of having an excuse of a national holiday to express your love for your loved ones. For example when you have a Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and their birthdays what is the logic of having a Parent’s Day? Have our social values gone so low that we need a day off so that we can reconsider them? There are more futile holidays in the “list of holidays in US” than the one I just mentioned. 
The Sweetest Day was a commercial effort concocted by a committee of 12 Cleveland confectioners in 1921. According to history the committee was chaired by C.C. Hartzell, a candy maker. The endeavor must have cost a fortune as some of the most prime movie stars such as Ann Pennington and Theda Bara (never heard of them though) assisted The Sweetest Day in the Year Committee in distribution of their candies. The committee gave away over 20,000 boxes of candies to poor kids and folks having a hard time in an effort to cheer them up as the intention of their invention demanded. Giving away 20,000 boxes of candy to poor kids such as newsboys and orphans doesn’t make you Mother Teresa. Taking responsibility of such children as of your own till they are grown fairly enough to survive on their own would surely do.
Celebrating a sweetest day usually holds to the attention of women giving a candy to their boyfriends and husbands like they do not have “Valentine’s Day” anymore. Celebrating father’s day may demand of you to send him gifts which probably would cost you more than you can afford. Every now and then we have a day to spend on in the name of a national holiday. Except a few most of these holidays is a burden on our already scarce financial resources in today’s economies hit by self-inflicted catastrophic financial crisis. There’s always a better way to express your love to your loved ones rather than requirement of a lame holiday to remember your husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, disconsolate orphans, relatives and associates for it.
As little of an effort as dropping your loved ones a line from your cell phone can do wonders. Where adherence to its celebration has become limited to Great lakes region and commercial origins, the residents of Cleveland where it all started 90 years ago refer it to as a “Hallmark holiday” and avoid celebrating it.
The best way to make your wife or girlfriend feel special is by loving her for what she is and being honestly loyal to her. Candies are not designed to sweeten the sourness of life. Copyright © 2011
