Reign of Fire
Early this morning while rummaging through my sock drawer, I found the 32nd book of Proverbs, magically placed there by God, in a historical advent. This chapter proves the bible to be true, as it delivers divine prophecy about the movie Reign of Fire. God says "yo, yo, yo. What be goin down, ma fuckin' peeps?" (he's learning Ebonics, but not very good at it). Also, your great-grandmother ended up in hell. He just thought you'd like to know.
32 Health and sustaining abundance who can find?
2 These are worth far more than gold and jewels.
They are missing in this time, after the 1st (who was the last)
found the Earth, and the time of man was stunted, consumed
in a Reign of Fire.
4 Through trials you have taught us much Oh Lord;
Though you tease with many, in the end it was only one.
6 He who is American always has the bigger penis.
The Dragon can flame millions but never the hero.
8 When hunting dragons, always bring a battle axe.
The only movie worse than Triple X is Nothing But Trouble.
10Now more than ever the world needs
an endless supply of Flamethrowers
He who is not American sometimes has the bigger penis.(a)*
12 If you can eat ashes, you can fart females.(b)**
No movie is worse than Triple X.(c)***
14Also the age old question is answered:
Can we make a really sentimental and tired action movie *without* a major love angle?
Indeed, it is done. Accomplishment to humanity it is,
that so much can go into making so little.
v11 (a)* - While appearing to be a contradiction of verse 6, it actually isn't. Verse 11 can still be true if there is no American around. Infact, Verse 11 must be true as in any situation where no American is around, then "he who is not American" will necessarily have the bigger penis. So, the next time a skeptic approaches you with this "contradiction", tell him or her to kindly eat a dick.
v12 (b)** - On the surface, this seems to be meaningless nonsense which has nothing to do with reality. But obviously alot of people believe this shit, so that cannot be the case. In fact, this verse actually has logical evidence to support it. The first dragon was the only male, and originally the only one around.
Children Of The Flames was written by Lucette Matalon Lagnado, a book that had taken her over six years to write. She got the idea of finding Mengele’s twins, as they were called, after a discussion with a now-ex Parade magazine editor Larry Smith. For her research, she had to use a wide expanse of resources, which include David Marwell, the chief historian and the U.S. Department’s Office for Special Investigations and the editors of Bunte and Stern magazines for original documents written by Dr. Mengele.

Gates of Fire is a story about the Spartan way of life and their fight to protect their country. The story is told by a dying Spartan squire named Xeones, who was captured by the Persian army after the battle at Thermopylae. He is telling the story to the Persian king. The story took place around 480 B.C. Xeones began the story in a small town where he grew up called Astakos. He tells of how his town was destroyed and how he was taken in by the Spartans. Eventually he became a servant for a Spartan youth name Alexandros, who was the protégé of Dienekes. Xeones finally became a squire for the Spartan officer Dienekes.
1. The protagonist of Heart of Darkness is a person named Charlie Marlow. Oddly, his name only appears once in the novel. Marlow is philosophical, independent-minded, and generally skeptical of those around him. He is also a master storyteller, eloquent and able to draw his listeners into his tale. Although Marlow shares many of his fellow Europeans’ prejudices, he has seen enough of the world and enough debased white men to make him skeptical of imperialism. An example of Marlow being independent-minded and philosophical is when he takes a trip up a river, as a break from working on ships. Marlow describes the trip as a journey back in time, to a “prehistoric earth.” This remark on how he regards colonized people as primitive, which is his philosophical viewpoint.
Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness uses character development and character analysis to really tell the story of European colonization. Within Conrad's characters one can find both racist and colonialist views, and it is the opinion, and the interpretation of the reader which decides what Conrad is really trying to say in his work.
An organization’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) drives them to look out for the different interests of society. Most business corporations undertake responsibility for the impact of their organizational pursuits and various activities on their customers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment. With the high volume of general competition between different companies and organizations in varied fields, CSR has become a morally imperative commitment, more than one enforced by the law. Most organizations in the modern world willingly try to improve the general well-being of not only their employees, but also their families and the society as a whole.
Corporate social responsibility is a concept that companies own social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders. It is considered that the aim for CSR is to convert from philanthropic rationale to performance-driven task. It is also known as Corporate Responsibility, Corporate Citizenship, Responsible Business, Sustainable Responsible Business (SRB),Corporate Social Performance. It is also defined as Additional responsibilities of businesses to local and wider communities apart from its core responsibility of profit maximization(Simpson and Taylor, 2013).
When questioning whether or not Joseph Conrad was an imperialist, a racist or both for that matter, the answer should be quite obvious after reading some of his works, such as, Heart of Darkness. Everywhere you look in this book, there is both imperialism and racism illustrated. Through Kurtz, Conrad's imperialist side breaks through and likewise, through Marlow Conrad's racist views come to life.
Nowadays, corporate social responsibility (CSR) becomes an integral part of each company. CSR can be understood as a management concept and a process that links social and environmental issues in business operations to a company’s interactions with it’s stakeholders. CSR not only gives the company a chance to help society but also enhances company’s reputation and investors’ attractiveness. In this paper, we will show a brief description about CSR and effects of CSR on international business, including pros and cons when a company applies the CSR program. Besides that, I give my ideas on conflicts of interest beween shareholders and the company’s managers. And then, advantages and difficulties for companies implementing CSR in Vietnam will be defined. Although CSR was first introduced widely in Vietnam many years, it is still a new concept. Therefore, pioneers in this area are facing lots of challenges in running CSR programs in Vietnam.
“On average more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, clear 4 to 5 million acres of land in the U.S every year”. This fact is according to the National Geographic website. Wildfires are dangerous because of how quickly they can spread and the damage they can make. They can move up to fourteen miles an hour across land destroying everything they come in contact with. We have learned throughout the years how a wildfire originates, the impact that it can cause, and safety rules that one can take if necessary. Most wildfires are caused by people, though nature can play a role as well. Through the Mann Gulch fire and the Yarnell, we have learned valuable lessons that have led to improving our firefighting tactics, equipment, and knowledge.
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who wrote in English. He became famous for the novels and short stories that he wrote about the sea.
Tourism impacts can be generally classified into seven categories with each having both positive and negative impacts. These impacts include; economic, environmental, social and cultural, crowding and congestion, taxes, and community attitude. It is essential for a balance on array of impacts that may either positively or negatively affect the resident communities. Different groups are concerned about different tourism impacts that affect them in one way or another. Tourism’s benefits can be increased by use of specific plans and actions. These can also lead to decrease in the gravity of negative impacts. Communities will not experience every impact but instead this will depend on particular natural resources, development, or spatial patterns (Glen 1999).
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is similar to an individual’s social responsibility. An individual who is socially responsible is aware of how their decisions affect the environment. Corporate social responsibility can be define as “how well a company meets its economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary responsibilities” (Peter & Sarah, p. 51). Corporate social responsibility holds businesses accountable to stakeholders such as consumers, in areas of concern such as environmental factors, community and society in general. As a result successful CSR initiatives creates a sustainable company in all ways: financially, ethically, environmentally, and socially. The moral problem with CSR is based on the belief that “CSR would be a cost that would be higher than the perceived benefits. By financially supporting “charity” based initiatives, firms are not performing their fiduciary duty to their stockholders” (Peter & Sarah, p. 49).
Tourism is an important and intricate element to society. It affects economical, social, cultural and environmental elements. Tourism can be argued to have a negative impact on the environment and decrease our already depleting resources, but tourism can also be argued to be a major contributor to strengthening economies, spread cultural traditions and improve people’s lives.

Heart of Darkness. That title rings with agony, loneliness, and the sense of evil. The words produce an image of a black heart entangled with unbreakable vines. To have a heart that is figuratively black and bounded to the ties of evil is a bitter and deathly symbol. Who could possibly have that heart? Joseph Conrad, for example, was a man with a heart of darkness. His life reeked with self deception and inner conflicts. Conrad’s book, Heart of Darkness is based upon imperialism and racism. Racism is cleverly hidden within the text, but imperialism is innocently depicted as the civilization of the Congolese people. Conrad’s writing can be interpreted two different ways. One approach is the reader might interpret his writing as an attack on the Europeans as the imperialists trying to help the Congolese, but the African people refuse their help. In contrast, the other approach might be that they feel sympathetic to the Congolese people. They see the Europeans has cruel and heartless. If we seek to understand the racism and the imperialism of that day and age, we can see racism in between the lines. I agree with many of Conrad’s critics when they say that he is completely racist, however I tend to see that no matter what race we are we all have a seed of darkness inside our hearts. Why are we infected with his powerful bug of a race overpowering any minority that is inferior to us due to any significant difference? In the case of Conrad’s book Heart of Darkness, it seems like Congolese people are nothing more than disposable and insignificant.
