Why Are People Insecure?
The root cause of all insecurity is fear, and it’s shaped by our past experiences
Like any situation, overcoming insecurities can look different for each person.
Insecurity starts in the home, with your primary caretakers
We don’t know how to do something or because we don’t measure up to others
It is due to the relationship they have established to themselves
Narcissists are ironically some of the most insecure people you will meet.
It came from fears–mostly about the future

Content: When they don’t get it from them, they seek it elsewhere. They seek it from the opposite sex, the general public and places that may not be as fulfilling, keeping that craving active and never really satisfied. In my book, A Child’s Memories of Cartoons & Murder, I talk about being a young child, watching my mother get dolled up to go out. She was a beauty. I enjoyed watching her change from one dress to another, shape her eyebrows and blot her lipstick to make sure that it’s not too thick. I would then cry and watch her walk out of the door, knowing that I would not see her until the next day if that. I grew up thinking that I was not worthy. My father not being around did not help at all. I had deep insecurities thinking that he may have been around if I was prettier if my skin was lighter if my hair was longer. It was not until far into my 30’s that I was able to grasp that I was not the problem and that I was enough.

As a parent, I practiced my belief that pouring into your children would minimize any insecurities that the world would place upon them. When their foundation is strong enough, they can fight through those things that allow them to cast doubt on themselves. They know, believe and live in the premise that they are enough and capable of whatever it is that they desire to accomplish. So far, I have not been wrong. Lisa Philyaw

We don’t know how to do something or because we don’t measure up to others
It can be so easy to feel insecure. To feel like there is something wrong with us, to feel that lack of confidence. Why do we feel that way? Well, we often think it’s because of who we are – it’s our personality, or it’s because we don’t know how to do something, or because we don’t measure up to others. But that isn’t the source. And believing that feeling insecure is just something that happens to us, or that it is just a descriptor of who we are, only sets us up to feel worse.

Instead, we need to know where insecurity truly comes from. It’s a feeling. And, all of our feelings stem from our thoughts about ourselves. To understand why we are insecure, we must understand what thoughts we are having that are leading to that insecurity. Once you identify those thoughts, the next step is to realize that a thought – is just a thought.

Relationship Life Coach, Studio City, Ca. It is due to the relationship they have established to themselves
I believe that people are insecure for many reasons and the primary one for most is due to the relationship they have established to themselves. When a person grows up hearing messages that they are less than ideal (or worse) from primary caregivers, peers, family, clergy, and/or anyone in a position of authority they tend to unconsciously believe they are damaged on a deep level.

Narcissists are ironically some of the most insecure people you will meet. They have an unshakable belief that they are worthless which is what causes them to bully others etc. They must at all costs protect their belief that they have little value from being found out.

Insecurity, being insecure, means that one has a lack of a feeling of security in one’s self. Where did this lack of security come from? It came from fears, mostly about the future. It comes from beliefs, that repeatedly echo in our minds, “things won’t work out.” What if, you told yourself that everything will work out perfectly? What if you did that so often, for so long and with such conviction, that you began to believe it? Would things change in your life, to support your new beliefs?

To feel better about yourself, stop looking at others . Insecurity is normal, but that doesn’t make it fun. So why does it happen in the first place? It’s because we are our own harshest critics. Oftentimes, we see others appearing happy and confident without realizing that they are just as unsure of themselves as we are. So, we hold ourselves to the perfect standards which others unwittingly create, and then we feel unsure of ourselves when we are unable to meet them. But these insecurities do not ju

Collaborative Decision Making in the Workplace – 101
By Anand Inamdar
December 5, 2018
Work Culture
Collaboration is a buzzword these days. Especially so in the corporate lingo. But rarely do individuals & companies, pay attention to the basics of collaboration. Collaborative decision making is at the root of most successful teams in the world. But what is collaborative decision making, really? Collaborative decision making occurs when a team of individuals reaches a consensus. This consensus should be on the best possible solution, chosen from within a set of few proposed. This sounds time consuming already, doesn’t it? While that may be the case, it defends against a lot of pitfalls of other processes of decision making. Such as cognitive bias, trial & error etc.

Content: Zoning and Land Use Planning | Urban Regeneration
Zoning and Land Use Planning
Zoning is a planning control tool for regulating the built environment and creating functional real estate markets. It does so by dividing land that comprises the statutory area of a local authority into sections, permitting particular land uses on specific sites to shape the layout of towns and cities and enable various types of development. Zoning has a relatively short history as a tool for land-use planning. It determines the location, size, and use of buildings and decides the density of city blocks (City of New York 2015a). Why is zoning necessary? The purpose of zoning is to allow local and national authorities to regulate and control land and property markets to ensure complementary uses. Zoning can also provide the opportunity to stimulate or slow down development in specific areas. The planning and zoning process functions differently around the world and is controlled by different levels of authority. Most commonly, a local authority such as a municipality or a county controls zoning (as in Australia or the United States) whereas in other cases zoning is implemented at the state or national level (as in France or Germany). Sometimes zoning is governed by a combination of the two approaches.

Sometimes zoning is governed by a combination of the two approaches. Beyond these immediate controls, additional regulations that affect zoning are often used, such as planning scheme overlays in Australia or impact assessments in Germany. What constitutes a zoning ordinance? The zoning regulation is usually developed in the form of a zoning ordinance, which is the text specifying land use of specific blocks and even each individual lot within a city block. Zoning regulations include specifications regarding lot size, density or bulk, height, and floor area ratio (FAR). The zoning ordinance is the formal categorization of land-use policies applicable to land within a municipality.

The zoning ordinance is the formal categorization of land-use policies applicable to land within a municipality. It also sets the legal framework. The zoning ordinance establishes permitted land uses and distinguishes between different land use types. Further, it ensures that incompatible land uses are not located adjacent to one another. Regulations also define setbacks and can build on the city’s safety and resilience by setting limitations on building in flood plains and wetlands. The zoning ordinance often also contains information relating to the need for a planning permit for a change of use or development proposal, subdivision of land, construction of new buildings, and other changes to the land (Victorian State Government 2008).

Zoning and Land Use Planning
Evolution of zoning regulations in Ahmedabad, India
Content: How can zoning be used as a tool for stimulating private sector participation in urban regeneration? In addition to the three main categories (residential, commercial, manufacturing), the zoning toolkit includes complementary rules that address specific types of development, as well as the design and quality of public spaces. Some initiatives allow for the modification of underlying regulations when developing large sites, whereas others fine-tune those same regulations to address lower-density areas or the particular challenges and opportunities of development projects on the waterfront. Urban regeneration projects are usually developed on large parcels of land that span several zoning districts and overlays. In order to allow for a better site planning exercise and relationship between buildings and open spaces, the local government may ease the baseline zoning regulation to allow for a more consistent site planning across all lots and blocks. In addition, to stimulate private sector interest in development, the government can allow for the transfer and merger of development rights. Alternatively, it can fine-tune other regulations to allow for higher density development in exchange for some form of a public good, such as privately financed public spaces or inclusionary housing. In this case, the zoning regulation is amended to allow for more density in exchange for privately financed public space or affordable housing units within a housing complex (see chapter 1). The push for more affordable housing has led to calls for inclusionary zoning, which is seen as appealing because developers pay for it, and it produces economic integration. However, affordable housing units created by inclusionary zoning require expensive subsidies (Barro 2014).

People called Abraham Lincoln ‘Honest Abe” because he was so honest. For example, once while working as a store clerk, he mistakenly took six cents too much from a customer. That night after the store closed, he walked three miles to return the customer’s money. His character trait of honesty is doubtlessly one reason people later selected him to be the President to the United States. Jesus assures us that character is important. On one occasion, he said this (Luke, Chapter 16): “ If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones.

Proper Disposal of Electronic Devices
Original release date: October 30, 2018 | Last revised: November 14, 2019
Why is it important to dispose of electronic devices safely? In addition to effectively securing sensitive information on electronic devices, it is important to follow best practices for electronic device disposal. Computers, smartphones, and cameras allow you to keep a great deal of information at your fingertips, but when you dispose of, donate, or recycle a device you may inadvertently disclose sensitive information, which could be exploited by cyber criminals. Types of electronic devices include: Computers, smartphones, and tablets — electronic devices that can automatically store and process data; most contain a central processing unit and memory, and use an operating system that runs programs and applications; Digital media — these electronic devices create, store, and play digital content. Digital media devices include items like digital cameras and media players;

This is a utility that erases sensitive information on hard drives and securely wipes flash drives and secure digital cards. Smartphones and tablets. Ensure that all data is removed from your device by performing a “hard reset.” This will return the device to its original factory settings. Each device has a different hard reset procedure, but most smartphones and tablets can be reset through their settings. In addition, physically remove the memory card and the subscriber identity module card, if your device has one. Digital cameras, media players, and gaming consoles. Perform a standard factory reset (i.e., a hard reset) and physically remove the hard drive or memory card.

5 Things to Do With Your Small Business Profits
What You Need to Know About Small Business Profits
1. Save for a Rainy Day
2. Use Business Profits to Grow Your Business
3. Pay Down or Refinance Debt
4. Use Business Profits to Pay Yourself
5. All of the Above
Content: If you have a brick-and-mortar business that would benefit from an expanded footprint, perhaps you can expand your space or move to a bigger location. Consider also that you don’t necessarily need to have enough cash saved up to pay for a new location, equipment, or personnel. You might decide you’d prefer to use the financing to help you pay for those needs. 3. Pay Down or Refinance Debt
It’s possible you’ve incurred some debt in order to start up your business. If this was your first venture, you may have had to borrow at a relatively high-interest rate, so you may want to consider refinancing and/or using some of your profits toward paying down debt. You have two main options here: you can make large payments toward the principal balance of your debt, or you can look for refinancing. If your loan has a high-interest rate, you may want to take your updated financials to lenders to talk about refinancing. Once you can show that your business is profitable, you may be able to refinance at lower rates because you’re at a lower risk of default.

If you pay down the principal, you’ll pay less interest over the lifetime of the loan, which will save you money. You’ll also have a lower total debt load, which increases your creditworthiness. 4. Use Business Profits to Pay Yourself
Finally, another way to use your business profits is to pay yourself, the business owner. The use of business profits for owner salaries can be a little bit complicated, depending on the legal structure of your operation.

The use of business profits for owner salaries can be a little bit complicated, depending on the legal structure of your operation. Here a few basics to consider. If your company is a sole proprietorship or another pass-through entity, all of your profit flows straight to you as income anyway. If you’re running a C Corp, you can pay yourself a salary. If you start to see profits, you always have the option to pay yourself and/or your employees more. Remember that you don’t want to compromise your future growth opportunities, so raises should be reasonable.

Self-Esteem & Confidence FAQs
What do you think?
Content: What is the meaning of self-esteem? Each and every one of us have self-esteem. Self-esteem is made up of the thoughts we have about ourselves and plays a role in almost everything we do. Having healthy self-esteem is really important as it helps you make positive choices in your everyday life, gives you the courage to be your own person, have good relationships and helps you deal with difficult situations. Did you know that 87% of those who have been bullied felt it had a negative effect on their self-esteem…
Low self-esteem can have harmful effects on your mental health, your decisions about your appearance and ultimately, your future. It’s not easy to like every part of the way you look, but getting stuck on negatives can really bring down your self-esteem. Other effects of low self-esteem include: You avoid difficult situations
Sensitive to criticism
Anxiety
Withdrawal from social situations
You are reluctant to trust yourself
It’s important to believe, deep down that you can change. Change doesn’t necessarily happen easily or quickly, but it can happen. Still not sure if you have low self-esteem?

Content: Help someone out
This can be a friend, family member or even a classmate who is struggling with their work or having a tough time at school. You could give them some advice or just be there to listen to a problem. It’s amazing how much our confidence is boosted when we do selfless things – do one thing a week to help someone else without expecting anything in return. 6. Take a different perspective
Look at tricky situations from alternative angles. Try to replace thoughts like ‘why should I bother?’ with ‘I won’t know unless I try’. By looking at a situation through a more realistic lens you’ll realise that you actually can do what you want – you just need to apply a bit more positivity! By doing this every time you have a negative thought, you’ll eventually default to this kind of positivity on the regular, and who doesn’t love a go-getter? Sometimes we just need to think and try different things to overcome having low self-esteem.

Guidelines for Designing Balance Training Programs for Older Adults (Granacher 2011)
Content: Takeshima and associates (2007) compared the effects of aerobic, resistance, balance, flexibility, and tai chi training on the functional fitness of older adults. Exercise programs were performed for 12 wk, 2 days/wk, for each exercise training mode except for the aerobic training (3 days/wk for 90 min). While resistance training elicited the greatest improvement (31%) in upper body strength, balance training produced the greatest increase in lower body strength (40%). Resistance training, tai chi, and balance training each produced similar gains in balance and agility (10%). Hill and colleagues (2007) examined the effects of physical activity that combined yoga, tai chi, and resistance training. At the end of this 6 mo program, strength, balance, and gait endurance of older adults were significantly improved. Those who attended classes 2 days/wk improved more than those averaging only once per week. Does resistance training improve balance? Improved balance is often mentioned as one of the benefits of resistance training. Muscle weakness is one intrinsic factor related to balance disorders and risk of falling.

Those who attended classes 2 days/wk improved more than those averaging only once per week. Does resistance training improve balance? Improved balance is often mentioned as one of the benefits of resistance training. Muscle weakness is one intrinsic factor related to balance disorders and risk of falling. Reduced muscle strength, especially in the lower extremities, affects one's ability to perform ADLs such as stair climbing or standing from a seated position. Orr and colleagues (2008) published the first systematic review of studies that assessed the effect of progressive resistance exercise training on balance of older adults. They noted that only a small percentage of balance outcome measures were significantly improved due to resistance training: static balance (26%), dynamic balance (14%), functional balance (57%), and computerized dynamic posturography (8%). Thus, resistance training as an isolated intervention does not consistently improve balance of older adults.

Common characteristics of cyberstalking may include false accusations or posting derogatory statements, monitoring someone’s online activity or physical location, threats, identity theft, and data destruction or manipulation by sending a virus to a victim’s devices. Cyberstalkers may use email, instant messages, phone calls, and other communication modes to stalk you. Cyberstalking can take the form of sexual harassment, inappropriate contact, or unwelcome attention to your life and to your family’s activities. Social media stalking is not the same as cyberstalking
You might hear people use the term “stalking” to describe following someone’s activities via their social networks. That’s different, and usually doesn’t involve harassment or criminal activity.

The Importance of Teacher and Parent Communication
Miniland Educational: Playing today, for tomoorow
How much of an effect does successful parent and teacher communication have on a child’s educational development? Well, let’s just say that it simply can’t be overstated.
Content: Managing expectations
As teachers we have expectations of how we want our students to behave, how we want them to learn, what we believe they should learn, and a whole heap of other behaviors that will take place in the classroom and at school as a whole. The thing is that parents have their own expectations of their children too, and it’s when these expectations don’t align that you start to encounter problems. Teacher and parent communication should start right at the beginning before any problems come about. Be clear with your students’ parents about what you expect with regards to their behavior, attendance and academic responsibilities and results. Talk to parents and understand their expectations too. When these expectations align at both home and at school, that is when you will start to see positive results with your children. Communication is essential in establishing a goal for both teachers and parents to work towards, which will benefit the student’s education and behavior at home. Two-way communication
One of the best ways to ensure that your students are going to get the very best that they can out of their schooling experience is to establish an open and honest communication system with their parents. Teacher and parent communication shouldn’t just happen when the child has done something wrong, but should rather be an ongoing process that will keep the parents updated about school and keep you updated about what’s going on at home. At the beginning of the year you should establish with each child’s parent/parents what they expect from you in terms of communication.

What kind of feedback would they like and from who would they like it from – you or the principal? Initiate the contact with them and don’t wait for them to come to you – as often parents can be nervous or feel as if they are interfering. It is easy to talk to parents if they are active in the school environment and attend things like interactive shows and sport, however it can be a little harder with parents that don’t. The important thing is to establish why they are not involved – it may have something to do with work or clashing commitments, and you must never assume that they simply don’t want to be there.

A two-way communication channel between teachers and parents is probably the most important factor in getting the teacher and parent communication thing absolutely right. Realizing that you are actually dependant on each other
Teacher and parent communication isn’t just about keeping open channels for feedback, it is also the platform for starting a healthy, respectful relationship with parents that will ultimately benefit your students hugely. Once you realize that both teachers and parents want what’s best for your children – then you can really begin to work together to implement it. You are essentially codependent on each other and both parents and teachers need the other to align with what they want for their children, or essentially to meet halfway. With both sets of influencers at the same supportive pinnacle, there are only good things on the horizon for the little ones involved.

Content: THE MARSHALL PLAN (1947)
THE
MARSHALL PLAN (1947)
On June 5, 1947, Secretary of State George C. Marshall spoke at Harvard
University and outlined what would become known as the Marshall Plan. Europe,
still devastated by the war, had just survived one of the worst winters
on record. The nations of Europe had nothing to sell for hard currency,
and the democratic socialist governments in most countries were unwilling
to adopt the draconian proposals for recovery advocated by old-line classical
economists. Something had to be done, both for humanitarian reasons and
also to stop the potential spread of communism westward. The United States offered up to $20 billion for relief, but only if
the European nations could get together and draw up a rational plan on
how they would use the aid. For the first time, they would have to act
as a single economic unit; they would have to cooperate with each other. Marshall also offered aid to the Soviet Union and its allies in eastern
Europe, but Stalin denounced the program as a trick and refused to participate. The Russian rejection probably made passage of the measure through Congress
possible. The Marshall Plan, it should be noted, benefited the American economy
as well.

led to the Schuman Plan, which in turn led to Euratom, then the Coal and

into an economically and politically united Europe. In many ways, the Marshall
Plan satisfied both those who wanted our foreign policy to be generous

Title: Outline of the U.S. Economy
Headings:
Content: In 1801, Jefferson became president (1801-1809) and turned to promoting a more decentralized, agrarian democracy. Movement South and Westward
Cotton, at first a small-scale crop in the South, boomed following Eli Whitney's invention in 1793 of the cotton gin, a machine that separated raw cotton from seeds and other waste. Planters in the South bought land from small farmers who frequently moved farther west. Soon, large plantations, supported by slave labor, made some families very wealthy. It wasn't just southerners who were moving west, however. Whole villages in the East sometimes uprooted and established new settlements in the more fertile farmland of the Midwest. While western settlers are often depicted as fiercely independent and strongly opposed to any kind of government control or interference, they actually received a lot of government help, directly and indirectly. Government-created national roads and waterways, such as the Cumberland Pike (1818) and the Erie Canal (1825), helped new settlers migrate west and later helped move western farm produce to market. Many Americans, both poor and rich, idealized Andrew Jackson, who became president in 1829, because he had started life in a log cabin in frontier territory. President Jackson (1829-1837) opposed the successor to Hamilton's National Bank, which he believed favored the entrenched interests of the East against the West.

Title: About the USA - History of German-American Relations > 1683-1900 - History and Immigration
Headings:
Content: In these later phases of German immigration, newcomers joined established settlers. This phenomenon of "chain migration" strengthened the already existing German regions in the United States. Today, approximately 58 million Americans claim German ancestry. They are most numerous in California, followed by Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, and Texas. The most dense German-American populations are in the "German belt" -- Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. Politics & Government
German-American political participation was more focused on involvement in the labor movement than in government. Germans in America had a strong influence on the labor movement in the United States. Labor union membership enabled German immigrants to improve working conditions and to integrate in American society as a whole. Originally strong in such occupations as baking, carpentry, and brewing, they were also laborers, farmers, musicians, and merchants. The first and most prominent German figure in American politics was Carl Schurz.

Minimalism Art
Minimalism as a style of art was born in the 60s of the last century. America became its homeland. The main features of minimalism are the simplicity of forms of expression, as well as a literal, objective approach. The forerunners of minimalism in the painting can reasonably be called Kazimir Malevich with his “Black Square”. Here he reached an apotheosis in simplification of color and form. Still, “Black Square” is a suprematism work, because, in addition to the external form, it is necessary to take into account the conceptual and philosophical component of creativity. As an independent style, minimalism was formed much later, in the 1960s, in New York. Interestingly, the new direction was not just a development of minimalist ideas that had been voiced earlier. Minimal art emerged as a protest against abstract expressionism in the 1940s and 1950s. Minimalists decided to cleanse abstractionism of expression, emotionality, subjectivism, and complexity of forms.

The author of the term “minimalism” was a British philosopher and art historian Richard Walheim. He singled out this direction, analyzing the creativity of the artists who go in their works by the least interference with the world around them. The origins of minimalism lie in such currents as pop art and suprematism. The direction of K. Malevich’s work and the trends of the Bauhaus school have also influenced the development.

Expressive features of minimalism
Minimalists sought to convey the essence of the depicted objects, cutting off everything that, in their view, distracted attention from the main. The conceptual features of the style became: simple geometrical forms (straight lines, cubic designs dominated); a simple palette (the artists sought to use pure colors); the desire for monochrome;

The works of the master evoke only positive emotions, filling the viewer with light and warmth and allow them to enjoy the ease and simplicity, in front of them you can safely meditate. In addition to painting, the artist is also engaged in photography and computer graphics, and of course, all these works are also characterized by restraint and conciseness. Current Evolution
Such areas of minimalism as neo-minimalism and post-minimalism have gradually developed. The former is characterized by inaccuracy, vagueness, and representatives of the latter are distinguished by a desire not so much to convey the idea itself as to emphasize the method of such transmission. Designation of minimalism
The importance of this direction in art is in the fight against academism and dogmatism, in the pursuit of simplicity, the complete rejection of all kinds of excesses in favor of the depth of meaning. For this purpose, artists revise the existing canons, renounce the old rules in favor of new ideas to convey color, as well as use images of geometric forms. Minimalism today
Nowadays, ideas of minimalism have penetrated into various industries, such as interior design, landscape design, clothing design, and others. Also, minimalism has not passed over information technologies, such as web design and software (development of software interfaces). Quite often we can see the results of minimalism in the development of technical solutions, for example, in the automotive industry, household appliances, and engineering. Minimalist artists contrasted themselves with traditional art.

What Does AARP Stand For?
Subscribe To
Content: Today, rather than representing the interests of retired Americans, AARP represents what can only be called a political agenda. Last year, when the AARP campaigned in support of healthcare reform legislation that many believed threatened Medicare benefits, people began to ask who does AARP represent, and what exactly does AARP stand for, both the letters in its name and the organization itself. AARP once did "stand for" something. In fact two things. The letters stood for American Association of Retired Persons, and the organization stood for, in support of, the interests of retired people. Or is it persons? But today many people don't retire at 65, if they actually still have jobs to go to, and the AARP sends membership applications to anyone who turns 50. If the AARP continues to lower the age for membership, the bar to entry will be so low that toddlers will be able to get over it and become members. So in 1998, with the name no longer reflecting the demographics of its members, it was changed to just a set of letters. Today, the organization itself no longer reflects the interests of what it claims are its 40 million members.

Title: Black and Latino Civil Rights Comparison - Civil Rights Battle
Headings:
Content: The civil rights movements never really had an arbitrary start and end. There have always been injustices and people who are wishing to change the system, even now. Therefore, the timelines provided follow each civil rights movement during the “civil rights era”. While it might be hard to see which tactics were more successful, looking at a timeline, it shows the differing lengths and most important parts of the movements, highlighting which tactics gained most fame and traction. Each highlights the protesting involving sit ins and marches, though the African American Civil Rights Movements was perhaps on a bigger scale. The Latino Civil Rights Movement mostly involved court cases and different unions and groups that were founded to try and get civil rights throughout the media and political channels. Therefore, the Latino Civil Rights Movements is seen to be more focused as a whole in the political systems whereas the African American Civil Rights Movement was more based upon the involvement of every person possible as it spanned much longer throughout United States History. While both movements had numerous recognized organizations who assisted in achieving different goals, the African American Civil Rights Movement had nearly double the amount that the Latino Civil Rights Movement had. Both shared student affiliated, confrontational, and non-violent organizations. The African American Civil Rights Movement also included a few religious affiliated organizations that the Latino Civil Rights Movement did not.

Title: Constitutional FAQ Answer #155 - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net
Headings: Constitutional FAQ Answer #155
Constitutional FAQ Answer #155
Content: The Congress itself has to agree between its two houses on every law; the President checks the power of the Congress with the veto; the judiciary checks the power with judicial review. Even with these checks, though, the Congress is, on paper, the most powerful branch. On paper, the President does not have a lot of power. He or she is the commander is chief of the armed forces and has almost exclusive power over foreign policy (though the Senate has to ratify any treaty and the Congress always has the power of the purse to influence foreign policy). The President also nominates judges and justices and maintains the cabinet, but these powers do not, in and of themselves, seem very powerful. In practice, however, the President can be very powerful, especially when the Congress and the President work together, such as when the presidency and the Congress are held by a single political party. In this case, it is common for the President to set policy that the Congress merely rubber-stamps. In such a case, the President can be said to be very powerful.

Content: Within all these movements, however, women activists were denied the recognition and the responsibility that they deserved and that they had earned. Despite their commitment and contributions, they were all too often refused leadership positions, treated as second class citizens, told to make coffee, and put on display as sex objects. By the middle 1960s many of these women began to react to and organize around the strong contradiction within social movements which fought for self-determination and equality and yet which denied these same basic rights within their own ranks. First in the civil rights movement, with a statement written by Mary King and Casey Hayden, and soon afterward and more frequently in the anti-war movement, SDS, and other social movements, women radicals began to demand equity and respect as activists. The reaction of many of their male and female comrades seems predictable in retrospect, but was shocking and demoralizing at the time. Women's claims were met with derision, ridicule, and the political argument that they were worrying about "personal" issues and in this way draining movement effectiveness in fighting the "political" injustices of racism and imperialism. How could women be so selfish, it was asked, to focus on their personal disgruntlement when black people were denied voting privileges in Mississippi, peasants were being napalmed in Vietnam, and students were treated as numbers in large faceless bureaucratic universities? Movement women had no shortage of responses to these objections, but the one that became a mantra of the new women's movement emerging out of these struggles was the claim that personal lives - relationships with friends, lovers, political comrades - were not personal at all but characterized by power and fraught with political meaning. Women argued that assumptions that they were followers and men leaders, that women naturally were "better" with children and men "better" at organizing, that women should type and men should discuss issues - that all these assumptions were deeply political, denying women not only equality within progressive movements, but even more basically the freedom to choose for themselves what they could and should think and do. When most men and some of the women involved within the 60s movements refused to listen, many women left the movement to, as they put it at the time, "organize around our own oppression."

World music: Chronology
Content: As with the earlier mambo, salsa was influenced by jazz harmony and arranging. It developed its most distinctive form in New York in the early 1970s. Salsa (Spanish for "hot sauce") is a style of popular music that emerged from New York City's Hispanic community during the mid-1970s, developing from a blend of Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican music with rock and jazz. Its roots are in the Latin dance music of the 1940s--which used trumpets, flutes, and voices--and the dance rhythms of the 1950s that have had varying degrees of popularity since then--the rhumba, mambo, and chacha. The electric guitar, along with electronic techniques, has been added from rock, along with the instrumentation and improvisational skills of jazz. Salsa musicians include performers such as Cuban singer Celia Cruz and bandleader Tito Puente, whose careers predate salsa, as well as younger musicians including bandleader Eddie Palmieri, trombonist Willie Colon, flute player Johnny Pacheco, and percussionist Ray Barretto. Salsa has spread to Hispanic communities throughout the United States. It has influenced both rock and jazz, and the Latin rhythms and percussion instruments can now be heard throughout rock and dance music. However, salsa is still primarily sung in Spanish, and very few performers have crossed over to reach the same kind of success singing in English. Bibliography:

RESULTS
OVERALL
Content: PROS of urbanization
Skyscrapers added to the big life in the cities. They allowed for many businesses and people to be on a smaller portion of land rather than taking up a big piece of land. Louis Sullivan made popular the idea of high rises in which people lived high in the skyscrapers above city streets. Elevators were created because of skyscrapers. Elevators made it easier and accessible for the handicap to live high in skyscrapers instead of taking 10 flights of stairs just to get to the top floor. Cities during the Industrial Revolution led to wealth for our nation. The big businesses were formed during this time which helped our nation and society tremendously. RESULTS
The graph to the right shows the percentage of total population of people in rural areas and urban areas during the time of 1850 to the 1900s. The graph compares the difference between the rural and urban areas and how rural population decreased as time went on while urban living increased as time went on. Although rural living was always more than urban, urban population went from 15 percent in 1850 to 40 percent in 1900.

The rise of urbanization led to a lot of congestion in the city but as a whole was important because it led to the rise of many big businesses and changed the work system. OVERALL
Based on this information, urbanization had a positive impact on the country because although there were some cons to it, the pros outdid the cons and had a larger impact on our world today. The problems with urbanization in the 1850's were things that were only a matter of conditions that could over time be solved. On the other hand, the pros of urbanization were things that had a major impact on our society and world today. Skyscrapers, elevators, and our work system today are because of urbanization in the 1850's.

On the other hand, the pros of urbanization were things that had a major impact on our society and world today. Skyscrapers, elevators, and our work system today are because of urbanization in the 1850's. Back

Content: They are transport, coastline and area reaches. Transport Reach
A transport reach represents the pathway for the movement of water through a drainage network. They provide a basis on which locations of observations can be geocoded and linked to the drainage network. Transport reaches must be assigned to all NHDFlowline features. Coastline Reach
A coastline reach represents a section of coastline along the Atlantic, Pacific, or Arctic Oceans, the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Caribbean Sea. These reaches provide a basis for geocoding locations of observations along the coastline. Coastline features provide the lines used for coastline reach delineation. The delineation of a coastline reach may follow one or more coastline features. A coastline reach always follows the entire delineation of the underlying coastline feature(s); the delineation of a coastline feature is not split among reaches.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS A “DEMAND” ISSUE
There are an estimated 4.8 million victims of sex trafficking worldwide, with the United States leading all other nations in driving demand for purchased sex. The demand for purchasing women, men and children for sex is continuing to escalate due to our hypersexualized society, and the demand for sex with even younger children is increasing. This is attracting more sex traffickers to the industry who see a financial opportunity to cash in on the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world. LEARN MORE

Imperialism in Hawaii
HOME! The Motives and The Take Over
Impact
Important Information and Gaining Independence
Economics, Politics & Social/Cultural
There were 3 motives as to why the United States wanted to annex Hawaii: The United States wanted Hawaii to acquire its islands and because it was a port way to China, East India and Asia. Not only did they want the islands, but they wanted their naval base. They wanted their naval base for war so they would have another advantage to help defeat the other country. The United States knew that Hawaii had lots of tropical fruits (pineapple) and sugar, which were the resources that they wanted. They knew that if they annexed Hawaii, they would be able to take some of their popular resources. This was then the result to the Sugar Trade. The US knew that Hawaii had more advantages than other places and they wanted them to afford for carrying on and trading with the Far East. The US wanted to have democracy in many places and they needed Hawaii to be one of their territories.

The United States did use some force, but it was a bloodless revolution. On January 5th, 1895 an armed revolt was in attempt to stop the annexation of Hawaii. 21,269 or 39,000 Hawaiians opposed the annexation. The government met up with Liliuokalani (the queen) who was already in the United States also fighting the annexation because she was removed from the throne and she blamed the annexation and the United States. In the US, they created a petition to the senate, they met in Washington on February 27th, 1898 where 46 of them were with the annexation.

Finally, in 1898, Hawaii was annexed and in 1959 became part of the United States. " When the Hawaiian islands were formally annexed by the United States in 1898, the event marked end of a lengthy internal struggle between native Hawaiians and white American businessmen for control of the Hawaiian government" (Nation Archives).

Content: The receipt itself is the best evidence of what was actually written on the receipt. Let’s say Patty wants to testify that Fred sent her a photograph of Fred breaking a car window. If a lawyer asks Patty to testify about what was in the photograph, the Requirement of the Original rule should apply. We should enter the photograph into evidence. What if there is no Original Document? In some cases it’s just impossible to enter the original document. Let’s say a party lost his receipt or the photograph is gone. Now the rule will require the party to explain why he can’t enter the original into evidence and the court might choose to accept secondary evidence instead. Please look at Federal Rule of Evidence 1004 for circumstances where a court will likely admit secondary evidence. Among other things, Rule 1004 provides that secondary evidence will be accepted if the original was lost or destroyed but not as a result of bad faith action by the party that seeks to testify about its contents.

Also, if the party that is in control of the document refuses to disclose it or if there is no way to obtain the document through judicial process a court is likely to admit the secondary evidence. Exam Tip
On an exam, watch out for a scenario where an attorney asks a witness, “What was in the document?” This likely indicates that the Requirement of the Original rule will apply. On the other hand, if a witness is not being asked about a particular document, then the rule should not apply. Sure, a document might help to corroborate or disprove a witness’s testimony, but the rule does not require the party to offer a document into evidence.

3 Good Reasons to Join the Marines
June 9, 2018 By admin
There are good reasons to join the military, and the Marine Corps is no exception. Many people do it because they feel they have a call of duty, and others do it because they finally want to experience some direction in their life. Here are some other good reasons for joining the Marine Corps. 3 – Financial security, because soldiers in the Marines will receive bonuses and other compensation that will allow them to be financially secure while pursuing other interests such as education and career. 2 – Many Marines also join up so that they can move onward and upward in their lives. It is not always so that they can get away from their parents, but so that they can prove that they are adults and make something of themselves. 1 – Many Marines also decide to join up because they know that the Marine Corps will challenge them and test their courage. They know that they will garner new skills and improve themselves as human beings in the process. I’ve worked and served along with the Marines Recon Un it.? I can only say that they were disciplined, honorable and a pleasure to work along side.?

New Report Finds Drivers Pay Less Than Half the Cost of Roads
Webinar to Explain Why Raising Gas Taxes Won’t Necessarily Solve Problems
As Congress struggles to renew the federal transportation law, a new report from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund [U.S. PIRG Education Fund] and Frontier Group finds that drivers currently pay less than half the total cost of roads, and argues that while increasing gas taxes could fill the shortfall, it would leave other problems unaddressed. The new report, “Who Pays for Roads? How the ‘Users Pays’ Myth Gets in the Way of Solutions to America’s Transportation Problems” exposes the widening gap between how Americans think we pay for transportation – through gas taxes and other fees – and how we actually do. The authors of the report will cohost a live webinar today at 1pm [EST] to explain the report findings and answer questions (click here to register and attend). The new report comes with just a month left before expiration of the federal transportation act, and with the federal Highway Trust Fund on the brink of insolvency. Revenues from gas taxes and other user fees this year are expected to come up $16 billion short of the level needed to maintain current federal transportation spending, leading to the need for urgent congressional action. “Congress is stuck in an endless loop,” said Phineas Baxandall, Senior Analyst at U.S. PIRG and coauthor of the report. “ Either Congress will have to raise gas taxes to the high levels that would be needed to fully pay for the costs of highways or it will have to admit that the ‘users pay’ system no longer exists and needs to be reformed.” “Congress faces important choices about transportation,” Baxandall continued. “

The reality is that these funds are barely covering a fraction of the cost,” said Gabe Klein, SVP of Fontinalis Partners, and former Commissioner of Transportation for Chicago and Washington, D.C. “The highest return on investment is on bike, pedestrian and transit projects,” he said. State and federal policies often give priority to spending on highways based on the assumption that drivers pay the cost of roads through gas taxes and user fees.

State and federal policies often give priority to spending on highways based on the assumption that drivers pay the cost of roads through gas taxes and user fees. The report argues that, with the nation’s transportation needs changing and general taxpayers bearing an ever-greater share of the cost of transportation, America should instead invest transportation dollars in projects that are likely to deliver the greatest benefits. Ordinary Americans agree. Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe it is appropriate to use gasoline tax revenue to support public transportation, according to a national study released last week by researchers at the Norman Mineta Transportation Institute. Other recent opinion polls suggest that Americans believe that the nation should give greater priority to transit, bicycling and walking in transportation spending.

Content: The image is of the esophagus from above. Regional histology of the digestive tract
Esophagus
The esophagus is a long, soft tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach. Its only function is the transport of food. The mucosal surface of the esophagus is lined by a thick layer of stratified squamous epithelium, adapted for fast transport and withstanding abrasive forces of moving food pieces. The muscularis is well developed as the esophagus’ peristalsis has to push food toward the stomach. In the upper segment of the esophagus, the muscularis layer contains mostly skeletal muscle that transitions to a mixture of skeletal and smooth in the middle, and finally only smooth muscle in the lower part. The characteristic features of the esophagus are the combination of stratified squamous epithelium and the considerable thickness of the muscularis mucosae, much thicker than in other parts. Figure 5: Stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus
Stomach
The stomach is a muscular sack for the storage and digestion of food. The stomach can be divided into three regions:

Stomach
The stomach is a muscular sack for the storage and digestion of food. The stomach can be divided into three regions: fundus
body
pylorus
Each stomach region contains slightly different mucosa that reflects their different function. At the junction with the esophagus, the stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus abruptly changes to the simple columnar epithelium of the stomach. Simple columnar epithelium is recognizable by the shape and position of the nuclei. They are elongated and arranged in a neat, single row along the basement membrane. Figure 6:

Content: Simple columnar epithelium of the stomach at very high magnification. The stomach epithelium invaginates to form multiple gastric pits. At the bottom of each gastric pits lie gastric glands that reach deep into the lamina propria. Gastric glands produce stomach acid, pepsinogen, and mucus that are then secreted into gastric pits. Figure 7: Gastric glands and gastric pits of gastric mucosa. Small intestine
The small intestine is a long tube that extends from the stomach to the junction with the large intestine (a.k.a colon.) The major functions of the small intestine are digestion, secretion, and absorption. The small intestine is divided into three segments: duodenum,
jejunum
ileum.

The small intestine is a long tube that extends from the stomach to the junction with the large intestine (a.k.a colon.) The major functions of the small intestine are digestion, secretion, and absorption. The small intestine is divided into three segments: duodenum,
jejunum
ileum. The mucosa of the small intestine has some adaptations to the functions it serves. It is heavily creased into the structures that increase the surface area where the nutrients are digested and absorbed. These adaptations include intestinal folds called the plicae circulares, villi, and microvilli. The plicae circulares are folds of mucosa and submucosa that extend into the intestinal lumen. They encircle the entire intestine and are visible without a microscope, so they will not be discussed here.

They encircle the entire intestine and are visible without a microscope, so they will not be discussed here. Villi are microscopic fingerlike projections of the mucosa covered in simple columnar epithelium. Microvilli are tiny cytoplasmic extensions on the external surface of epithelial cells. They are barely recognizable under a light microscope as a striated layer on top of the epithelial cells and are called brush (striated) border. Figure 8: Villi in the jejunum
All three segments of the small intestine are covered by simple columnar epithelium.

STUDY QUESTIONS
Content: Once inside the Castle, he tortured and killed them, and sometimes dissected their bodies, selling their skeletons to medical schools. When eventually arrested on charges of insurance fraud, police linked him to the murder of his business associate, and in the course of their investigation they discovered the Murder Castle. There they found bones of many victims mixed together, a dissection table covered with blood, and burnt body parts. Mudgett confessed to 27 murders, writing a detailed account of those activities, but the actual number may have reached over 100. He was tried, then hanged. When reading accounts of serial killers like Mudgett, we often have a sense of satisfaction that he was caught and executed. Some people are so irredeemable and their actions so horrendous that we feel that justice demands that they die. The death penalty, we think, is a critical part of the criminal justice system, specifically reserved for the worst possible offenders. The death penalty has been common practice around the world as far back as history records, and it is easy to imagine primitive social environments in which dwellers would have no choice but to kill criminals. Nomadic tribes, for example, would lack permanent facilities to lock up murderers and thieves, and setting offenders free would only give them a chance to do more damage.
