HOUSTON, Texas – Despite two defeats in as many games in the 2014 Central American Cup (CCA), Nicaragua head coach Enrique Llena sees growth within his team.
On the heels of losses to Costa Rica (3-0) and Panama (2-0), the Pinoleros finished third in Group B and will meet Honduras in Saturday's match for fifth place. The winner of that encounter will face the fifth-place team from November's Caribbean Cup finals for a spot in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"Three years ago, after a match, which one I don't remember, from the World Cup qualifiers for Brazil, I said that the national team of Nicaragua was in diapers," said Llena. "Now I have to say that the diapers have been taken off, and we have grown. Many say that now Nicaragua has to be with Panama or Costa Rica, but it's not like that, but we have left the diapers behind and it is no longer easy to beat Nicaragua."
The Spaniard also stated that Nicaragua's era of transition continues and that their objective is to be able to compete for a berth in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
"We continue in this transition of becoming a bit bigger," Llena commented. "We can qualify at any moment for any competition or event, but we also may not qualify. The World Cup in Qatar, not Russia, is one where we can project for and dream of possibly qualifying."
With the 2022 far in the future, Nicaragua must first confront the short term, when it takes on 2014 FIFA World Cup participant Honduras at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
"We have to get the win," concluded Llena. "Anything else means nothing."
Nicaragua qualified for its only Gold Cup after defeating Guatemala 2-0 in the 2009 CCA's fifth-place match.

I can always find somethingto be thankful for
Have you ever wondered why people are unhappy? It seems that nobody is satisfied with what they have. People are not content anymore. They crave more, higher promotions, better cars, lots of money and so on, leaving themselves overworked, and even depressed.
We have stopped being ourselves, we are governed by our social class, and our jobs. Why have we stopped enjoying life? Everything seems to revolve around work and money. It's like the world has become a competing playground.
Nobody wants to feel left out, or be the odd one out. Everyone wants to fit in. Everyone wants to feel like they belong somewhere, either in a particular group, or with certain people. Is this what life is about?
Why do we let our ego get passed our humanity? Why are people more selfish today? We seem to have forgotten the art of being thankful, forgiving, and giving, instead we have crowned ourselves with hunger for more money, and material belongings.
Our hearts seem to be full of selfishness. We don't seem to care about others. Why have we forgotten that we already have enough to be thankful for? Every time we upgrade our car, someone else, somewhere, is walking miles before reaching their destination, or worse, sleeping on the street, because they don't have a roof over their heads.
It's not about competing, or comparing your life with others, it's about being content, and being grateful for what you have, and remembering those, who are not as fortunate as you are.
Life is easy. Life can be full of happiness and joy, but only if we teach ourselves to be thankful, and to be generous, in everything we do. Nobody is against you being rich, in fact we all want to be rich. The problem is, at some point we forget our humanity, and who we are.
Life is not about complaining about what you don't have, it is about being thankful for what you do have, and seeking ways to help improve the lives of others. Zig Ziglar said it best, "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want."

I recently received an email from my friend Tamela Coval, asking for my thoughts on four questions regarding social media:
Just because a
multifamily company is using the latest social media application, how do we
know that it translates into a respectable ROI? Just using social media doesn't
guarantee a respectable ROI. Before you launch any program, you need to develop
a plan: what are your goals? From there, you can begin to develop and identify what
"success" means.
Is there any
evidence that shows prospects using Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. for
apartment search actually converts to a lease? Yes. While we didn't necessarily
intend for our social sites to serve as lead gen channels, we have had
prospects contact us through social media that have later leased.
Content generation
is invaluable for brand reach and to create brand advocates. Do properties have
the time and knowledge to create fresh and topical content or should they
outsource it? We have more than 50 properties using Facebook, and there are a small
handful (six, to be exact) that use a content tool. However, these properties do
also post their own content, and the bulk of our properties do not outsource
any of their social efforts at all. When done right, social provides a great
opportunity to connect with residents, prospects, and people in the greater
community – but in order for it to work, it needs to look and sound authentic.
Speaking from my own experience, it's difficult to achieve that if you're
outsourcing efforts.
If content
generation is outsourced, can the person(s) creating the content be trusted to
create and post the correct content that reinforces the brand? Yes, I think so,
but only if the on-site team is involved. Again, it goes back to that point of
authenticity: someone sitting in Seattle probably doesn't know much about
How would you respond to these questions? I'd love to hear your take.

Abia State Governor Theodore Orji has said that there will be no automatic ticket for any of the elected member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the next year's election.
He assured party members of a level playing group, adding that there will be no imposition of candidates.
Orji said automatic tickets will breed mediocrity and prevent a healthy competion during the electioneering.
The governor spoke at the PDP stakeholders' meeting in Umuahia, the state capital.
He said: " Competition is the best way to bring out the best in any society. Appointing people to contest for elective positions does not give room for true democracy to thrive".
Orji charged party members to shun "money politics" and vote for candidates who have vision and the love of the peopple at heart.
The governor described Abia State as the stronghold of the PDP, urging the stakeholders to sustain the tempo.
He said: "There is no vacancy for any other political party, except the PDP, to exist in the state. There is no room for any other political party to survive in Abia State because we have set a very high standard, which will be hard for any political party to beat."
Orji recalled that the PDP won all the elections in the state in 2011, saying that the feat was unprecedented.
He said that the state started to make progres when it refrained from worshipping idols.
The governor said that President Goodluck Jonathan is happy that the state is making progress.
He added: "Whenever the President sees me, he will ask me how are my people and not how is Abia State. This shows the level of love and the value the Presidency has for the state."
The party chairman, Senator Emma Nwaka, urged the party chieftains to work for the peace and progress of the state at all times.
Nwaka said that someone in a ruling party will not understand what it means to be in opposition. "Therefore those of you in the ruling party should hold tenaciously to what you have as being in opposition will not be to your benefit."

Why Church? The Body of Christ
This morning, Pastor Ed Allen continued his sermon series "Why Church?" by looking at I Corinthians 12:12-27, where the church is described as the Body of Christ.
He began with an anecdote that Facebook friends have been legally declared to not be your actual friends. Though the issue is still in doubt (from a different court ruling) and may some day go to the Supreme Court. [I perked up at this, having taken the precaution to "unfriend" most of my author Facebook friends when I got on the Newbery committee -- except it turned out I missed a couple of published authors, which could be a problem. So I'm going to say they're not legally my actual friends!]
The Bible doesn't talk much about friendship. We're supposed to be Church with one another. And the church is the body of Christ. Here we read the passage, I Corinthians 12:12-27.
-- This means we actually represent Jesus to the world.
-- This also means the church is an organic, living organism.
Five things that govern how we think about the church and how we engage with it from this passage:
1) The church is composed of many different parts.
There's diversity in our unity. One Spirit and one body, but many parts.
2) All of the parts of the body are needed.
There's not much conflict here at Gateway -- we don't know each other well enough yet! Conflict is easy -- from different values, hurt feelings, and arrogance.
3) All of the parts of the body are ordered and arranged by God.
We're not here by accident. God arranged for us to be here.
That has implications for how we treat each other:
4) We give honor to one another. In fact, special honor goes to the parts of our body that seem most modest.
When it comes to our body, looks can be deceiving.
As an example, the reason we can sit down during the service is because of the people on set-up team.
*5) We are all part of the body of Christ!
What if I don't know where I belong? You are part of the body.
What if I don't know anyone? You are part of the body.
What if nobody likes me? You are part of the body.
What if I don't get it? You are part of the body.
What if I'm super busy? You are part of the body.
Therefore (because of all the points above), what we do here matters.
What we do in the midst of these relationships matters.
Every contact leaves a trace. How we engage here matters.

How to make the first move when dating
Men: unless you're James Bond (by the way - you're not!
Eventually, one of the women approached me and asked me a question I've been asked many times before by singles and experts:"Do you think women should email men when online dating? " Not only is it okay to email men when dating online, it's a useful tactic. But research has shown that in social and courtship interactions, women — not men — are often the initiators. Many women fear emailing men because they don't want to be the aggressor, the one who does the chasing. It will all pay off when you do connect with a guy you find interesting.4. Many women often believe that if a man were "truly" interested, he would make his move.
Women do this subtly by making eye contact or smiling at men or they do it more boldly by starting a conversation. But emailing a man online isn't chasing him or even hitting on him — it's merely starting a conversation. While this is true in many scenarios, that rationale doesn't fly online. Men have literally thousands of profiles to comb through …
In other words, if you want a man to make his move, you must give him the green light to do so. how can they possibly know who's interesting to them before chatting or meeting in person?
It's packed with simple yet powerful tips to help you become a virtual superstar with women. I've had many women tell me that they were ready by standing up and stripping for me, or take off their blouse and turn to walk into the bedroom. If this doesn't work for him, you've got the wrong guy!
8) Help him along This is a strange thing to say, but many women don't understand that their men might not know what to do - or at least what you like.

New research shows that there are more Australians flying on domestic flights now that there are more budget airlines from which to choose. The total number of flights in the past fiscal year was 55 million, according to the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics. In fact, the number of Australians flying on domestic flights has increased 6% every year for the last ten years and they have airlines like Qantas, Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and Tiger Airways to thank for that.
Passenger growth has been steady each year since 2002, except for the period during the financial crisis that swept the globe. As for airports, Sydney is still the busiest, with more than 24 million passengers during the past fiscal year. Melbourne was next with over 21 million and then Brisbane with over 16 million. The busiest route is the one between Sydney and Melbourne. However, routes in and out of Perth have seen the biggest growth, thanks to the mining boom in the region.
The above article is a summary. Please see the source article at Google News.


text: Lifetime Of Care Secured For Brain Damaged Man Markland Family Welcome Court's Approval 05.10.2011 The family of a man left with severe brain damage following serious failings in care he received on two separate occasions have spoken of their relief after funding was secured that guarantees him a lifetime of around-the-clock support.Not only was 41-year-old Gary Markland seriously let down by medical staff when he was born after they failed to spot he wasn't feeding properly, leading him to develop dangerously low blood sugar levels causing catastrophic brain damage, years later staff at a centre specialising in management of epilepsy failed to refer him for treatment following an epileptic seizure which led to him suffering further brain damage. Experts in medical law and patient rights at Irwin Mitchell represented Gary and his family at an approval hearing at the High Court in Manchester today (Wednesday 5th October) where it was agreed he will receive a seven figure sum over his lifetime to ensure he can have as normal a life as possible in spite of his condition.Jennifer Cawthorne, from the firm's Manchester office, supported the family in their battle for justice. She said: "The severe brain injuries suffered by Gary mean that he is fully dependent on others to provide him with 24 hour care."The extent and complexity of the problems he faces mean the funding which has been secured will ensure he can access this 24-hour care together with rehabilitation and therapy services that will prove invaluable throughout his day-to-day life. "It also means that his family can guarantee he has accommodation adapted to meet his everyday needs, and a specially adapted vehicle."Gary, from Wigan, was the victim of mistakes in his aftercare at Billinge hospital in Lancashire in 1970 when staff failed to spot that he wasn't feeding properly during the first few days after his birth causing him to develop hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar levels).This led to Gary's brain being starved of oxygen, leading him to develop cerebral palsy and learning difficulties. Had staff spotted that his blood sugar levels were low and administered glucose treatment it was argued that brain damage would have been avoided. North West Strategic Health Authority has this week agreed to pay damages over Gary's care at Billinge hospital, while The David Lewis Centre in Wigan also contributed toward the seven figure settlement after mismanagement of treatment Gary received there in 1992 - when he had an epileptic seizure - led to him suffering additional brain damage. Commenting on the outcome, Gary's mother Irene Markland, from Wigan said: "To know that my son will always be looked after is a huge relief for us all. While no amount of money will repair the damage done, we now have a chance to move on with our lives ensuring he gets as much out of life as possible."His dad Roy, who passed away last month, would have been so relieved to know Gary now has access to the care he needs for the rest of his life. I'm devastated that he didn't get to see this day arrive at long last. That he missed it by just a few weeks is hard to cope with, and makes me really angry."Jennifer Cawthorne added: "While the settlement is welcome news, it has been a long journey to this point. It has been all the more heartbreaking for them that Gary's dad missed seeing this life changing day for his son arrive."I only hope now the family are able to take some degree of comfort from the fact that Gary now has financial support he needs to access care and support throughout his life, and that they can begin to look forward to the future together."The family do not wish to comment further.

Artificial Sweeteners Make You Hungry, Not Healthy
A new study on sucralose adds to the growing body of research that finds unwanted effects from replacing sugar with noncaloric substitutes. In this case, scientists found that a diet laced with artificial sweeteners causes animals to become more intensely ravenous when they return to eating regular food.
Of course, humans can think analytically, which should still make it possible for people to train themselves to avoid fattening foods. But that's not an easy thing for everyone, and the new study suggests that eating sugar-free meals will only create additional obstacles for those trying to lose weight - in essence, you'll find yourself fighting against your own body's intensified cravings, which doesn't bode well.
A joint team of researchers from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre published the study in the journal Cell Metabolism. It describes how the scientists fed fruit flies either a diet of yeast and sucrose, or one with the sugars replaced by the artificial sweetener sucralose.
After several days on that diet, the sucralose-fed flies were given naturally sweetened food. This led them to consume 30% more calories, compared to the flies that didn't feed on sucraclose.
"When we investigated why animals were eating more even though they had enough calories, we found that chronic consumption of this artificial sweetener actually increases the sweet intensity of real nutritive sugar, and this then increases the animal's overall motivation to eat more food," explains lead researcher Greg Neely in a Garvan Institute press release.
The researchers would go on to investigate whether the same effect holds true for mammals, performing the experiment on mice. Indeed, after seven days of eating sucraclose-sweetened food, the mice responded by increasing their consumption of regular food by 50 percent.
Scientific American reports that the study offers evidence that the prolonged consumption of noncaloric sugar substitutes triggers "a starvation state in the brain, causing some organisms to seek energy by eating more food." This contradicts the established view of sucraclose as biologically inert. Whether it is actively harmful is another story - but it might very well harm your dieting willpower.

The premiere episode of Syfy's new zombie series "Z Nation" proved a big global piracy draw over the weekend, with over 300,000 unique IP addresses reportedly accessing a torrent in the first 24 hours since its U.S. TV debut says piracy tracking firm Excipio.
While it's a long way from the 1 million or so a "Game of Thrones" season premiere draws, it's far above some other key cable dramas which often don't crack six figures.
A little over 10% of piracy related to the episode emanated from the U.S., with Australia, the U.K., Canada and Brazil coming in next.
No word yet on whether high piracy levels will translate into good ratings for Syfy as the network has yet to announce the show's premiere figures. Critics weren't kind to it though, the show scoring a woeful 47/100 on Metacritic.
Update: Ratings are in and "Z Nation" debuted to 1.6 million for its Friday night premiere, a low number for a Syfy drama series says EW. It is, however, a record premiere number for an acquired show produced by an outside party for the network.

Studio Series - Recording Vocals
A well done concise set of videos about vocal recording. Enjoyed the shootouts and hearing his insights as to which microphones are used in different situations. Extra happy that the Slate microphones model most of the mics in this video (with upcoming u87 models) so it's even more helpful for ml-1 owners. A good reminder to just leave vocal microphones upside down to allow tilt and distance. The boosting 50-100 for warmth is very effective and, though I have done similar eq boosts, I plan to use this on all voices in the future as it sounds great in the examples. Double compression starting with the Opto - EQ - VCA did wonders on the rock vocal.

If you using console a lot and don't use any "fancy" desktop manager (I mostly use Ratpoison) and you need quick reminder, here is simple solution using
sleep command:
$ sleep 180 && mplayer musicfile.mp3
…and it will start playing music after 180 seconds or you can pop up picture with:
$ sleep 180 && sxiv picture.jpg
…or in my case:
$ sleep 600 $$ ~./alarm.sh
…and it pops up Ratinfo. Here is my example of alarm.sh:
DATE=$(echo -n $(date +%B,%d %H:%M:%S ))
INFO=$(echo -n "Coffee is ready!!!!!
Date: $DATE")
ratpoison -c "echo $INFO"
…and it display "Coffee is ready!!!!!" with date and time beneath.

human right to decide what is best for them regarding their own health care and future health care and It is the health care professionals duty of care to respect and adhere to all patient choices and decisions (Entwistle, Carter, Cribb & McCaffery, 2010). Giving the patient freedom of choice enhances the patients independence. The principle of respect for autonomy is an extremely important guideline in healthcare as It enables the patient to not only make their own decisions, but to act with intention
Respect and what it means By: -PFC- C, Mullins Respect it is something everyone wants, not many have, and few will give. Some people would appreciate having a little bit of respect from others, and some should make efforts to show some more respect. Unfortunately, this does not happen all the time. Maybe this is because respect is not clearly understood. What is respect? The dictionary defines it as an act of giving particular attention or high or special regard. Another definition shows respect
In correspondence to Paul Taylor's "Respect for nature," he believes that nature warrants the respect of the same quality that humans receive. His view is called the biocentric view of life, and he argues that the biocentric outlook is superior to the, more commonly accepted, anthropocentrism stance with several examples. I think that Paul Taylor's is somewhat correct in his argument in saying that we should have respect for every living creature because according to virtue ethics, being a good person
Computers need to be treated with respect We should not take computer's usefulness for granted. Billions of people use computers every day, yet only a fraction have the patience to understand what they are doing. Or, the actual consequences of their actions and in turn cause problems for themselves and others. As a result the same precautions that are made to protect themselves are not applied when using a computer. They need to treat these computers as machines that can be used to make
When faced with a violent world where hyper-masculine ideals ruled and gave way to a lack of respect for life, Baumer finds solace in observations of the nature surrounding him that is so rapidly being brutalized by the war. In some ways, nature is a representation of Baumer himself- he is full of rage, yet gentle, and rapidly being marred by violence. As in the first chapter when his friends and schoolmates were still together in the poppy field and "wind plays with our hair; it plays with our words
What is self-respect?: Self-respect is a concept that anyone can grasp. "You need to be confident", "take pride in yourself", "don't knock down your self-esteem", these are things that parents or influential figures tell us daily. Although we hear these terms constantly we don't always listen. Everyone has their own version of self-respect; whether it is to induce a falsified thought to others, or if it is their own personal definition. "Self-respect: to have pride and confidence in oneself;
many people to interact with each other and find solutions. In the process, people are beginning to travel more, and they are getting exposed to other people's cultures and the way they show and express their love. In Phaedrus' view of point, Honor, Respect and sacrifice can still be applied in today's culture. There are many religious books that speak of honor. The Bible says you should honor thy mother and father; with honor, then, comes love. You cannot really honor someone if there isn't some form
Where has our common courtesy and respect gone? Lionel Wijesiri "When music and courtesy are better understood and appreciated, there will be no war. (Confucius) Most of us belonging to pre-Gen X (people who are 60+ of age) will agree that both young and not-so-young amongst us have become less considerate and more selfish than they used to be few decades ago. We know it through personal experience, and we know it through published studies. By performing a kind act, one makes the world
Justice is described as a behavior or treatment, "a concern for justice, peace, and genuine respect for people." Fredrick Douglass describes justice as the need to be equal with everyone, for black slaves to be freed and equal with their masters. Jean-Jacques Rousseau stated that justice is the way the state creates equality through keeping even strikes throughout society. Fredrick Douglass and Jean-Jacques Rousseau agreed on many points throughout their narratives about true justice and the equality
recognize someone who thinks this way based solely off of their actions. Having the knowledge to recognize things like this is great way to apply what I have learned. The one theory that I hope to apply to my ethical leadership skills is the theory of respect for persons. Recently I was told something along the lines that helping those that need it can not only make them happy, but make you happy as well. I think that the reason why my initial thoughts of leadership in this class was because it is hard
beings, who have emotions, feelings and self-respect, and not realising what impact patients will have when nurses show this kind of attitude. Patient centred care is vital for all nurses, without, discriminating against colour, gender, race, and religious beliefs.

When the nurse shows dignity and respect, she/he tends to develop a therapeutic relationship
Success: The fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame. This is how Merriam-Webster defines success. For many, this is the way success is measured. There are millionaires flaunting their money and fancy cars, wearing expensive watches and clothes looking at success only in a material aspect. For some time I was one that measured my success in what I had to show for. I looked at every material object I had as a sign of my success. Since the beginning of Success Strategies at WITC, my views
Self-love and respect go hand in hand, if a woman is not aware of the benefits of these two than she is in for some trouble in her future. In this powerful testimony, this young woman is exploring sexual partners just to find out after time that the good feeling or "high" is just momentary. The pain grows slowly overtime but has the potential to fill up a heart rapidly. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the main character of Lust by entering and understanding her distant relationship with
Women deserve more respect. For quite some time now, women have been participating in the military, which, of course, originally only allowed men. Throughout the years of their participation, women have demonstrated that they are just as competent as their male counterparts. Last year was a particularly significant year for female soldiers as they were finally allowed to move into battalions that were formerly all male. Jena McGregor, a writer for the Washington Post, wrote her thoughts on this
Where is the Respect? Growing up where I am from, the Supreme Court can not help us. And the world we live in is not free. We feel as though no one can help us. In our neighborhoods it is us against the world, government, and sometimes each other. Growing up witnessing the police abuse their power given to them by the government gave us a reason to hate everything and everyone who they stood for. Yes we were taught that we are free and we have rights; but where are the people that is supposed to

AGENDA- HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION WITH RESPECT TO R2P INTRODUCTION The objective of humanitarian intervention is to prevent mass violation of human rights and human dignity. It has remained a compelling issue in international affairs because of its controversial character. Although sovereignty has formed the basis of international relations since the Treaty of Westphalia, events in the 1990s raised the impetus of the international community to place the protection of
moral, personal or political. Self-respect, simply put, is a feeling of pride or confidence in ones' self; a sense of dignity and honor. Keeping the definitions above in mind, I will attempt to prove that respecting an individual's right to self-respect and autonomy is both a moral right and morally significant. We run into a philosophical problem when we ask the question: Is the attitude of individuals morally significant when dealing with autonomy and self-respect? The same philosophical problem applies
Respect I have grown up surrounded by people who have respected me and taught me how to respect others well. Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something. To respect someone, is to hold them in esteem or honor; to treat each other with politeness and courtesy (Webster). Respect can be something we feel towards ourselves, towards those in authority, towards the people around us every day, and it is done well by understanding, listening, and loving. Psalm 139:14-15 says "For you
Respect is one the 7 Army Values and probably one of the most important in today's Army. Discipline also works alongside respect even though it is not one of the Army Value's; it falls under Self-less Service. You can't have respect without discipline because it creates a sense of unity among soldiers which under extreme circumstances the military cannot afford to have any causality because of one individual's decision to disrespect one of leaders appointed over me direct orders. Self-less
without respect? Respect is the act of showing someone that you value his or her feelings and thoughts. Respect is a universal value that each person desires not only to embody, but also to receive. Respect is not just what you say but also the way you act. Showing people that you take their feelings and thoughts into consideration are how to earn respect. If you demonstrate respect toward others, then others will respect you and listen to your opinions. Respect begins with self-respect and then
Reflective essay: Dignity and respect 10053603 Introduction The Purpose of this essay is to reflect upon an experience which relates to the chosen topic of dignity and respect, this was highlighted in my self-assessment (please see appendix) Acknowledging a persons' dignity can contribute to their sense of good health, well-being and independence. Dignity is an essential element of high quality care and involves aspects such as respect, privacy, autonomy and self-worth (The Welsh Assembly
MILITARY BEARING, DISCIPLINE AND RESPECT The United States Army is structured on several values and principles that it upholds, among these are military bearing, discipline and respect. These principles represents what the organization strongly believes in and governs the most basic customs and courtesies that all its members should abide by, otherwise legal repercussion and punishment is enforced that could ultimately result in separation from the organization. According to Field Manual 6-22
The ideal vision and respect for the human body has changed over the years. Most importantly is the way people look at the female body. Before civilization, mankind use to walk on this earth without any, or very little clothing, which depended on the climate of the area. Then later, women were taught that they must hide their body because it was supposed to be more modest and "ladylike", while the male's body was viewed as art. Over the years the times have changed, and the vision of an ideal
In essence, animal rights is the idea that non-human animals should be treated with respect as an individual with inherent value, and the belief that they are entitled to the possession of their own lives. However, with the increase in demand for new cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and the need for medical research, these rights have been violated by the act of animal testing. I will argue that animal testing shouldn't be a method we adopt. In support of my claim, I will offer three reasons. Firstly
with someone I dint have any relation with. This whole situation has always made me think and even sometimes I just put myself in the women's and just think that I would like to be treated with dignity and respect. It was about 2 years ago, and at that moment I was just 16 years old, and my brother was about 24 or 25 years old. This whole incident started after coming back from a party. My brother and I were headed
Respect and integrity, what really do these mean? I could look up these words in the English Dictionary or Webster's and give a scientific, precise and exact answer to these words. While that tells you what they mean, does that really give them meaning? Respect is a noun that means to "esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability" (Dictionary.com). Integrity means "adherence
I have respect for the police and the job they do. Even though, police officers make me nervous because they carry guns and I don't like guns, also there's a lot bad stories about them in the media, most of the stories are negative. Ironically, I decided to face my fear, in the near future to become a police officer. Policemen and women across America are selected few who do very dangerous job. Police have done so many great things to help improve communities, help people during their off duty hours
The Law of Respect There are twenty-one irrefutable laws of leadership. I chose to elaborate on the seventh law, The Law of Respect. I believe that the first time I really thought about the word respect is when a secular songwriter sang a song about RESPECT. Her name was Aretha Franklyn. She wrote in the song everything that she as a woman wanted from men to give her as far as respecting her. As a leader have I ever demanded respect and have given directives of how I should be treated, yes
Work for Respect Not Money in "Rethinking Work" By Barry Schwartz Work is not all about money: most people have that mindset that people go to work just for money when that is not the case.

As an educator, the key to building respect is by building a relationship with each and everyone of your students. Once the relationship
The article, I chose is titled Creating a Climate of Respect. The title of the article sums up what Mr. Cohen, Mr. Cardillo and Mr. Pickeral believe about classroom climate. As a team they have created four main goals in order to reform school climate; create democratic communities, support students and teachers, ensuring safe schools and, promoting student engagement. After reading this article I feel that if I start my year off following these four basic goals I will be able to have a very positive
Respect… just think about it for a minute and ask yourself what it means for you. The dictionary defines respect as an act of giving particular attention or high regard. I believe that respect is so valuable to us today and for any generation. I want to talk about kinds of respect. First of all, respect yourself. That is the start. It is like a foundation for future house where house is the world. In order to honor someone, you must first respect oneself. " Respect yourself enough to walk away from
Bosket did not found situation like this bearable. He demanded respect just like white men wanted for themselves. Pud's father was totally different; he kept his head down and obeyed the rules. He lived outside the violence but Pud chose to embrace the violence. He believed that violence would gain him respect like white men. "His quest for self-respect would lead him into violence" (p. 45). The notion blacks did not deserve respect; furthermore, degraded them and Pud did not want to abide by rules
"Respect for the rights of other people is what constitutes peace." –Benito Juarez. The states in the world lived anarchic world, the birth of nations in the international order always need to start by the period of diplomatic recognition, next phase of strengthening and growth, lastly, the struggle to be placed in a position in the world. In fact, the international order is the result of international cooperation and born of values that reflect the feeling of the states for international stability
Respect Vs Disrespect By Osita Onyebuchi Respect vs. Disrespect Have you ever met someone who was rude to you and didn't hold you with much regard? How did you feel? Did you feel angry? What do you think respect is? How is respect earned? Respect is an important way of being kind and good to other people. We live in a society that respect is earned not given. With respect there is also an opposite side of disrespect. The definition of respect is to consider worthy of high regard. There are
have continued to learn the importance of allowing the NASW core values to guide my work and ways to encompass each of those values. More specifically I will reflect on how I encompass the core value of respect and social justice in several different ways. As a group leader encompassing respect into group work is accomplished by establishing with the group that each individual has the right to participate and contribute as much or as little in the group as they desire, each individual has the right
Respect and integrity, what really do those mean? I could look up those words in the Oxford English Dictionary or Websters, or Dictionary.com and give a scientific, perscise and exact answer to these words. And while that tells you what they mean, does that really give their meaning. Well by Dictionary.com's standards respect is a noun that means to hold in esteem or honor, and to show regard or consideration for. And Dictionary.com says that integrity means an adherence to moral and ethical principles;
In his essay, The Ethics of Respect for Nature, Paul Taylor presents his argument for a deontological, biocentric egalitarian attitude toward nature based on the conviction that all living things possess equal intrinsic value and are worthy of the same moral consideration. Taylor offers four main premises to support his position. (1) Humans are members of the "Earth's community of life" in the same capacity that nonhuman members are. (2) All species exist as a "complex web of interconnected elements"
With this knowledge, it is important to remember that when children are treated with dignity and respect they will be more apt to liking their teacher, and will, in turn, want to please their teacher. When students want to please their teacher, behavior problems decrease, thus creating a smoother classroom climate. This is why it is so crucial to remember that when it comes down to student behavior, building positive relationships with students, more times than not, will result in the rules being
Honesty, respect and morals are three important words that come to mind when thinking of integrity. Integrity is defined by Webster as a "firm adherence to a code of especially moral or incorruptibility, and the quality or state of being complete or undivided". Throughout life, I have been exposed to situations that have required me to have integrity while also testing it. In this essay, I will reflect on what I believe integrity is, how it plays a part in my personal and professional life, and
The Three reasons why I Respect this Man (The paper of Christopher Eric Christenson) Have you ever lost someone that was so close to you? Have you ever been in a situation that would affect your life forever? Do you get reminders every day, that the your loved one is gone? Do you wish you could go back so you can hug them, and say "I love you". It's sad when you have lost one of the most important people in your life, and you can't go back to relive the moments you took for granite. I lost
Respect in the Military It has been said that military standards are higher than the country demands of its president. And that is true. President Clinton lied under oath. Perhaps that is not perjury, but an army officer could not do that. Nor could army personnel have extramarital affairs. Kelly Flynn found that out when she lost her position in the Air Force and years of pilot training went down the drain. But for the Commander in Chief, it is another story. While it is true that the
infraction and a person who placed himself in such a situation can find himself facing negative counseling statements, or smoking's. Thus, respect and obedience is of the utmost significance in the military as it helps maintain the internal structure and enables the military therefore to carry out its operations in confidence. The military recognizes that respect for authority is what maintains order and prevents the eruption of chaos and is hence willing to set an example for all who might be tempted
should just be natural to everyone. The moral I am specifically talking about is showing respect. Now, you all are at the age where you think you know everything, and some of you do. Then, we have those kids who think they know it all and do not have to show respect to anyone. Now, I know I cannot force you to do anything, but after this illustration, I'm hoping to have shown you why it is so important to show respect. Like I mentioned earlier, I know all of you are at the age where you think you know
A friendship is not just two people who get along well or have some involvement in the other's life. A true friendship is a strong relationship involving complete trust, loyalty, and respect. These three aspects are key to forming an unconditional friendship. The three aspects, trust, loyalty, and respect, are characteristics of great importance when considering what a friendship is. Trust is a crucial part of a true friendship. Having complete trust in another person allows one to confide
Culture of Respect According to Linda Inlay, "Creating a culture of respect begins with the internal capacity of teachers and students to be respectful of self and of others" (Inlay, 2016). Creating a culture of respect in every classroom, but more importantly in a middle school classroom, is essential. Middle schoolers often have a difficult time with belonging and being respected.

I'm expected to roll my neck and receive no respect because I'm expected to have tons of sass but hardly any class and my naturally curly kinky hair is something that I shouldn't share with the world. Also, just because I'm black doesn't mean I'm ignorant and unwilling to unpack controversial issues that affect everyone and not only my fellow blacks. So don't think this is an "angry black girl" rant, but instead recognize that I just want a chance to make people aware that the things they see in
strongly about, while at the same time, I do respect men equally. Being a feminist is a quality about myself that I recognize influences that I will be as a counselor. I will have to be careful to not impose these views onto my students. Additionally, when making an ethically difficult problem, will have to be aware that these views are not clouding my ability to make an appropriate decision. Moreover, I am a part of a blended family. I am engaged to man with two daughters from a previous relationship

Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Director: Zach Snyder
Starring: Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Jake Weber, Mekhi Pfiher
Originally I had planned to watch the 1932 Universal classic The Mummy tonight. But my wife and a friend of hers wanted to join in the marathon tonight, so I decided on something a bit more modern and mainstream. I've moved The Mummy to later on in the month.
Dawn of the Dead is another movie I've seen a poor quality version of, but up until tonight hadn't seen on DVD, despite owning the disk. Let me just start off by saying I absolutely adore George Romero's originally Dead trilogy, and am for the most part not a fan of remakes. But I'm also willing to give most movies a chance, and generally enjoyed Zach Snyder's remake of Romero's 1978 classic.
In fact, I hardly consider this a remake at all. About the only things identical between the two movies are the name and the general premise of a bunch of people trapped in a mall, surrounded by zombies. The characters are different and the plot differs a great deal, so I like to think of this Dawn of the Dead as a continuation of the original trilogy, rather than a rehash.
The Good:
- Zach Snyder (the director of probably my favourite movie of 2007, 300) sure knows how to shoot some stunning visuals, and throws in plenty of slow-motion, close ups and other tricks.
- Snyder doesn't spare the gore, which is ultra important for a zombie flick.
- I love the pre-credits shot of the woman driving her car through her neighbourhood as it becomes obvious the world has turned to crap.
- Three words: Zombie freakin' baby!
- Gotta dig that lounge music version of "Down by the Sickness" by Disturbed.
- Ving Rhames is just a badass.
The Bad:
- The female lead, Sarah Polley, just doesn't give her character any kind of strong presence.
- A few things defy logic. Like how did they automatically know which boat was Steve's?
- Like most modern horror movies, it's all about the action and not so much about the characters. I genuinely cared about the characters in the 1978 original, so cared if they died or not. Here, not really.
Neither Good nor Bad:
- I'm not too sure how I feel about the fast-moving zombies. Initially, having grown up with slow-moving zombies, I hated this new twist, but now I'm sitting on the fence about it.
The Dawn of the Dead remake is an adrenaline ride. It doesn't compare at all favourably with the original, but if, like me, you can put that aside, the result is a stylish, fast-paced modern horror flick.

A Palace, A Fortress, and Getting Some Sun on the Autobahn
Did I mention that the reason I spent a few days in Germany was to recapture (literally) some of the places my dad had photographed while on leave when he was stationed in Germany in the 1950s? So it really wasn't so much a site-seeing trip as a brief documentary adventure to photograph in present day the same locations as in the old photographs that Dad took. I know that I missed a lot (and I mean A LOT) of wonderful things. But I had a self-imposed assignment (a good kind of assignment) and a limited time frame to complete it. And that was totally ok! It was actually very liberating not having that feeling that I had to see everything.
To view these images larger, just click on one of them and you'll enter a slide show.
The first images were taken at the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site Residence Palace. Also known as the Wurzburg Residence, it is an example of Baroque architecture and was built from 1720 to 1744. We didn't get a chance to tour the palace and gardens as they were closed, but from other images I've seen, definitely a place to visit again. For more information, here is a website in English and German and Wikipedia's entry.
The Marienberg Fortress has seen many iterations over the centuries, with the original castle built early in the 8th century. You can read more about it and other German palaces here. I believe the bridge that the lions are "guarding" is called the Lion Bridge. Or if that's not the official name, that's what people know it as.
Now this is something not everyone gets to do—walk around and lie down on the Autobahn. We're driving along and suddenly three lanes of traffic came to a stop. We sat in the car for a bit expecting things to get moving, but they didn't. And it was very hot, especially on the pavement. So what do two people with cameras do to pass the time? We photograph! And you talk, as best you can, to the people around you. (Which is what everyone else was doing, too.) The trucker spoke a bit of English, just enough to speak briefly about family and such. He shared some ice-cold water and an apple. It was very much appreciated! (Remember I said it was hot—well over 90 degrees F!)
Of course what goes through a gal's mind after it's been over an hour, and the truckers are telling you it might be three or four more hours before the traffic starts to move? "Where will I go to the bathroom?" C'mon gals, you know what I mean. Guys have it easy. But we have to look around for some discreet spot, and that's not easy to find. Luckily I didn't have to scope out an area, as suddenly the traffic started moving and we all jumped back in our cars and trucks and off we went. It was over (two hours later) as quickly as it started.
Part 4 will feature heather, Radio Kootwijk, and a bit of Amsterdam.
The images with the palace and the lion will be featured in their own blog post "Yesterday and Today" with my dad's photographs and mine side by side. There are about a dozen"Yesterday and Today" images, and they will be the final installment of Stories to Tell — Holland Germany 2012, and will be Part 6. (Yes, there is a Part 5, too.)
Thanks for reading! See you next time.
