Airing Dirty Laundry

You can"t pick up a newspaper or magazine, turn on the TV or checkout the on-line news sites without being barraged with all the nasty things the famous (or in some cases the infamous) people might or might have not done. And as a result the general public seems to have gotten the idea that it"s okay for them to "tell all". One place you should definitely not share your life stories is the workplace. First of all it is no one"s business what mistakes you may have made in your past. And secondly you will be judged on your past should you make it public. Oh, they probably won"t say it to your face, but be sure your errors in judgment will come back to haunt you.

Elder Abuse: a Deepening Current Social Issue Problem

People are living longer and longer lives; many requiring ongoing, long-term care. Current events show that more elder abuse cases are being reported than in years past, and many experts believe that the actual number of cases will increase in the years ahead as older Americans constitute a larger proportion of the U.S. population than ever before. One of the pressing current social issue problems of our time is elder abuse, which can include physical harm, sexual abuse, emotional or psychological abuse, financial or material exploitation, and intentional or unintentional neglect. Many baby boomers, currently the age group ranging from 40 to 60 years old, can expect to live well into their 80s and 90s.

What is Needed for Future Sustainability

The list of needs is a long one, but each year it is getting shorter as volunteer teams are shoring up the leaks and reducing poverty and improving the lives and health of Hondurans. Of course with all this progress the larger projects are now needed. Building schools, sewer treatment plants, bridges and buildings are a major need in both the small towns and in rural Honduras.

Citizen Journalism

Citizen Journalism" is one of the hottest buzzwords in the news business these days. Many news broadcasters are probably thinking of implementing some sort of citizen-journalism initiative; a small but growing number have already done so. But there's plenty of confusion about citizen journalism. What exactly is it? Is it about sending whatever pictures you click with your mobile phone to a news channel and getting famous? Or is it about speaking out on a media microphone and feel that the world has heard you? Merinews, as India"s first citizen journalism website, takes it upon itself to define what citizen journalism is all about.

U.S. Sponsored Terrorism - Operation Northwoods

Most Americans can"t conceive that officials at the highest levels of the U.S. Government would murder thousands of its own citizens to advance an empirical agenda. We should all, very carefully, think again... In 1962, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously proposed state-sponsored acts of terrorism on American soil, AGAINST American citizens. The head of every branch of the U.S. armed forces gave written approval to sink U.S. ships, shoot down hijacked American planes, and gun down and bomb civilians on the streets of Washington, D.C., and Miami. The idea was to blame the self-inflicted terrorism on Cuba"s leader, Fidel Castro, so the American public-and the international community-would beg and scream for the marines to storm Havana.

Avoid Direct Mail Gifting And Other Pyramid Schemes - Why Such Programs Fail

Following is my illustration of a current pyramid scheme. You get a letter that says, "I am an attorney blah, blah, blah. Then there is an illustration of how somebody got rich doing what the attorney said. That is giving a gift which "is legal." (Well, giving a gift is legal but a pyramid scheme is not.) I add a special instructions letter to make the program more acceptable to the disbelievers. "CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS: FOR THOU SHALT FIND IT AFTER MANY DAYS." Ecclesiastes 11:1 (Carefully read the attached instructions to prevent failure.) Hello! My name is Cathy O"Brian. I"ve tried the "Cast Thy Bread" program over 20 times.

We Are Our Perceptions

In this society and in this time, we are ruled by our perceptions. Each of us is a bundle of distinct desires, fears, memories and biases that color how we perceive our world and each other, and how we act. If we perceive the world as a dangerous place and that we and our loved ones are in peril, we will likely be over-protective, tentative and somewhat paranoid. If we feel that nationalities, races or faiths other than our own hate us and are out to harm us, we may, in turn, hate them and contemplate on how to harm them. If we hold celebrities or sports stars as the ideals of humanity, we will strive to emulate them, for better and worse.

6 AM, 2ND AUGUST 1990, KUWAIT

It was like any other normal Thursday, I had planned nothing specific, with 48 degrees temperature, one cant even go to the beach, as you get exhausted pretty quick. Though it was an off day for us, I got up as usual at 6 am, the sun was up, and I just lazed around in the bed, looking out at the calm sea, from the the large window of my 3rd floor apartment, located in Mangaf area, quite close to Fahaheel, a small southern suburb of Kuwait. As my thoughts slowly shifted to the lavish breakfast that my room mate Mr Natarajan would prepare today, that would basically be a good start to an off day, a huge explosion occurred, shocking me like hell!
