A restless reporter who envies the expensive cars, flashy clothes, and high –rolling lifestyle of his drug-dealing friends, then he sees his chance– as Patrick Crawford makes the move that suddenly changes his life!

Drawn by the seductive lure of easy money, in the illicit behind the scenes live shot of a reporter, Patrick Crawford. We see Patrick Crawford in rare footage. As  much like football coach  Fielding H. Yost, Patrick Crawford goes in deep, and uses his cunning skills to quickly take control of the situation, but something unexpected happens next.

Just yesterday, after praying to win the ugly Christmas Sweater Challenge, Patrick Crawford was gunned down Wednesday Morning 17 December 2014, in Central Texas, USA. Patrick Crawford is a meteorologist for NBC’s KCEN, and as he was leaving work, as a young man approached him; and what began as trash talk between the two men quickly escalated.

Retribution, swift vengeance, eternal malice were in his whole aspect, and spite of all the mortal man could do, the solid white buttress of his forehead smote the ship’s starboard bow, till men and timers reeled. For little more than the pleasure of revenge and the lust of bloodshed, our hostile clans do the work of executioners on each other.

The suspect produced a semi-automatic hand gun and fired at Patrick Crawford. After being shot twice, once in the arm and once in the torso, Patrick Crawford drop a few moments and was able to get the attention of a construction worker, who summoned emergency services. Patrick Crawford was transferred to Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple, and is in the operating room for surgery.

Witnesses report it was like a high-stakes action thriller starring Matt Dillon, they had never seen something like this go down before in this bedroom community. However, employees of the News station are on lock down and told not to leave the building, while the investigation is underway.

A Texas ranger, holding a camera, went into the station and collected names, birthdays, licenses plate numbers of all employees.

Police are investigating the possibility that the gunfire stemmed from a feud between rival gangs in the area, as  Patrick Crawford was shot after having words with a Male, White, in his Mid-30s, gang attire: blue jeans and a black hoody. The shooting has had a chilling effect on a neighborhood unaccustomed to gun battles.

Robert Johnson, age 31, whose house is near the station, remembers the days when disputes were settled by fisticuffs rather than firearms, when gangs were confined to New York or Los Angeles. He says news of the shooting spree shocked him.

“When I was a kid, you got in a fight and that was it. I just can’t understand using guns, especially for something like this…I was raised a little differently. The parents these days need to teach kids about respect and honor. I’m upset, because I have children, and they go over there a lot. Damned if I know how to solve this entire but I know most parents aren’t taking care of their kids. They just let them run around and let them do whatever they want,” reports Robert Johnson.

Currently, we live in a climate where everyone needs to have a lawyer on retainer, to defend us, because people, in high positions like to lie and slander others, and these allegations can lead to arrest and criminal charges. Violent evils require violent remedies. Nothing gives so much strength to an adversary as the view of timidity in his opponent. Many of the emotional attitudes people develop toward foods, political parties, ethnic group, escalators, high rise apartment buildings, and cars is probably not only conditioned by direct experiences, but vicariously as well. Some people are, in fact, born prejudice—some babies do not like puppet shows and lights hanging from the ceiling, I supposed it brings up repressed memories, while parents may love the shows, as it reminds them of good childhood experiences.  Therefore, some attitudes are inherited, and others are learned. Parents may do well to look at their parents if they wonder how or where a child picked up a particular fear or emotional attitude.  If there be rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth, should there not also be mercy and forgiveness at least upon Earth?

The memory has as many moods as the temper, and shifts its scenery like a diorama. I was sorry to find more mercy in a heathen than in a brother Christian. In operant conditioning (instrumental learning) one starts to associate responses with their consequences. The basic principle is simple: Acts that are reinforced tend to be repeated. This is known as the law of effect, which tells you that the probability of a response is altered by the effect it has. Learning is strengthened each time a response is followed by a satisfying state of affairs. For example, if you can abuse your intern and ruin their reputation, and then threaten them to do research for you, and they do out of fear, it is likely that you will keep extorting this intern and the threats will increase. Life and death together make sad work for us all.

Strange life mine—rather curious history—not extraordinary, but singular; classical condition tend to be passive. It simply happens to the learner when a US follows a CS. US is a stimulus innately capable of eliciting a response.  For example, with a US, a puff of air will cause you to blink your eye. With a CS a horn blowing may cause you to blink your eye. In operant conditioning, the learner actively operates on the environment. Thus, operant conditioning refers mainly to learning voluntary responses. For example, sending love letters Nicky Hilton, and going to her book signing is a way to get her attention and is a learned operant response. It is reinforced by gaining Nicky’s attention and getting her to autograph your book. Excellent always are the gifts which are made acceptable by the virtue of the giver.

To excel in theory and to excel in practice generally require different talents, which are not always met in the same person. The idea that reward affects learning is certainly nothing new to parents (and other trainers of small people). However, parents, as well as professors, politicians, supervisor, and even you, may use rewards in ways that are inexact or misguided. A case in point is the term reward. To be absolutely correct, it is better to say reinforce, not reward. Due to the fact that rewards do not always increase responding, it is better to call them reinforces. If you are trying to give your intern a brand new book as a reward for good behavior and good work, it will work only if the intern likes the book. Also, keep in mind, what is reinforcing for one person, may not be for another. As a practical rule, psychologist define an operant reinforce as any event that follows a response and increases it probability. However, your ghosts are very rude unsociable folks. It is no shame to use God’s gifts for our credits.

The vermin race are every treacherous, cruel, and cowardly, whilst those endowed with strength and power are generous, brave and gentle.  By desiring what is perfectly good, even when we do not quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil—widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower. Now, I know some of you are very offended by the writing because you consider yourself evil, but are a good person, yet I keep associating you with bad, when you may be better than a Christian—more honest and kind, but you may feel akin to Satan. Now, Satan, as your God, may not be a bad person. After all, God has many names. So that I do not offend you, I will call bad people cold and naked.

As we have noticed, learned desires for attention and approval, which are called social reinforces, often influence human behavior. As a journalist or reporter, you job is to be professional, fair, objective and well-informed, like a college professor. You are not the news media to create scandal and ruin lives. However, if you work for a corrupt station, slandering the public might be a way to increase interest and your program, and boost ratings for a while, but after the public discovers what you are really doing, you will lose favor, and possible your career. Scandal is good, but Kerry Washington gets paid to deal with that, she is a professional. Leave it to her; you might get hurt pretending to be Mrs. Kerry. After all, Mrs. Kerry has the money to pay for a lawyer, and move at the drop of a dime. However, if you create chaos, you better believe it will come back to haunt you. Despite false visions concerning you and lying divinations about you, it will be laid on the necks of the wicked who are to be slain, whose day has come, whose time of punishment has reached its climax. I will pour out my wrath upon you like hurricane Katrina, and breathe out my fiery anger against you like the rim fire; I will hand you over to brutal men, men skilled in destruction. You will be fuel for the fire, your blood will be shed in your land, you will be remembered no more; for I, the LORD have spoken.

The person who will bear much shall have much to bear the entire World through. How much nobler it is to forgive, and even how much more manly to despise, then to resent, an injury. To forgive a crime readily is a weakness that will induce one to suspect the virtue of the forgiver. Some police detectives, following the advice of psychologist, recreate crime scenes to help witnesses remember what they saw. Typically, people return to the scene, at the time of the day, the crime occurred. They also asked to wear the same clothing they wore and go through the same motions as they did before the crime. With so many memory cues available, witnesses sometimes remember key items of information they had not recalled before. The police have also asked particular witnesses to say or write down everything they can remember. Do not worry about how trivial any of it seems each bit of information you remember can serve as a cu to bring back others.

Also, try to recall events or information in different orders. Let your memories flow out backward or out of order, or start with whatever impressed you the most. Recall from different viewpoints. Review events by mentally standing in different places. Or try to view information as another person would remember it. When taking a test, for instance, ask yourself what other students or your professor would remember about the topic. Mentally put yourself back in the situation where you learned the information. Try to mentally re-create the learning environment or relive the event. As you do, include sounds, smells, details of weather, nearby objects, other people present, what you said or thought, and how you felt as you learned the information. Great knowledge of the World, or, what is often mistaken for it, an acquaintance with the higher circles and with the topics of the day.

Everyone lives different lives, and some are more complicated than others. Once in a while, a child is born with a medical condition, sometimes they are obvious, and other times you would not know unless you know the person well that they were different. Being born with a physical limitation is not a laughing matter and some may try very hard to hide it.  I once knew a young man we will call Daniel, he was born with spinal bifida, but from looking at him, no one could tell anything was wrong. In fact, the doctors had no idea anything was wrong with the boy until he started having serious bladder infections, at the age of 5. After years of seeing the doctors, specialist still could not figure out what was wrong with this boy. It caused so much hardship on the family that the parent divorced and the doctors told the mother to take Daniel and move to another city, where he could get the help he needed. So they did.

That is when the doctor’s discovered that Daniel had a medical condition and a tumor growing from the tip of his spine, and it was tethering his spinal cord. The only way they knew he had a tumor because there was a pimple on his back that never went away. So after doing x-rays, it was discovered that the tumor was going to snap Daniel’s spinal cord, if it was not removed right away, and he would never be able to talk. However, one of the problems with the surgery is there was also a huge chance of paralysis.  However, at the age of 8, Daniel knew he wanted to be normal and wanted to take the chance with the surgery. It was a 13 hour procedure, and in the process some of his nerves were damaged, but luckily, he was able to walk.

As Daniel got older, he blended in well with the other kids; he was a little shy and did not play sports out of fear of hurting his back. Daniel has a pretty normal life, as a teenager, and even held a job, while in high school and college. He was actually very loved and popular, which made some dislike him, but that is part of growing up. One day, while on his way to work, Daniel was hit by a big rig, from the rear. He had a lot of back pain, he went to the doctor and it was discovered that the tumor had grown back and his spinal cord was flat as a pancake and about to snap—again. So Daniel had to have his second spinal surgery. However, he almost died this time.

During this second spinal surgery, when Daniel woke up. He noticed blood all over the bed and floor, and it would not stop spilling. They called the nurse into the room, and they were scared. No one knew why the blood was coming out of his penis, and it would not stop. As you know, blood clots, so it was backing up in his bladder and the boy could not pee. So the nurse has to use a catheter and saline solution, hook up to a syringe and push the saline in his bladder and suck out the coagulated blood. The process was painful and took hours, and when they would clear all of the blood out of his bladder, he starting to bleed again. After days of this going on, the Charge Nurse finally tells Daniel, “We are going to have to give you a blood transfusion before you go into shock.” That day a group of Daniel’s friends and family from the bay area came to visit him, and after about an hour, they looked down and saw a pool of blood on the floor. Daniel was not care, he was peaceful. He had made up his mind that he would just bleed to death. They tried to force him to have a blood transfusion, but he would not. He had already lost two pints of blood and they  knew he would probably die, so his sister begged him to have the blood transfusion, and as he looked into her beautiful brown eyes, he could not refuse.

Later that day, the pumped two bags of blood into Daniel, and at this point, he has been in the hospital for 10 days. After the two transfusions, guess what, the pools of blood started spilling onto the floor again, and no one knew where the blood was coming from or what was wrong. Daniels sister lost so much weight because she was scared for her brother’s life and the father had taken so much time off of work to make sure his son lived, he was about to lose his house. So the doctor’s took the boy back to surgery, and it was discovered that he had a “Questionable” urethra tear, which was causing the hemorrhages. Although, the boy lost four pints of blood, but after the last two transfusions, they sent him home and did not give him anymore blood.

After that episode, Daniel was in recovery. He spent a few years at home, then went to college. Had a normal college life, then went to China to study abroad and graduated from junior college. The young man came back to Sacramento, California, enrolled in Sac State and had plans to get is BA, in two years, and move to New York. However, life did not go as planned. Daniel got robbed, his car vandalized and beat up pretty bad. Also because of death threats he hard to drop out of college, but this young man was determined to have a normal life.  He started talking to reporters and admired their work and even tried to help them write, but not before long, this became an abusive situation.

The reporters got jealous and found out personal information about Daniel and started spreading rumors about him being a girl and having a period and they also called him a dog and made up even more vicious rumors. It ripped the family apart and ruined Daniel’s reputation to the point people would choke him while he was driving, try to run him over, or simply mess with him until he had a break down. Daniel still tried to live a normal life. One day he was drinking with the guys and one of them wanted to find out if he was a man or not, pushed him to the floor and pulled his pants down. The young man was so hurt, he just laid there, unable to move.

The next week, Daniel told his sister he was in pain, and he made him go to the doctor, turns out that he fractures his spine in two places. Because of what the young man has been through, it is too hard for him to sit too long, he cannot lift much, and also developed ulcerative colitis, which is an inflammation of the intestines. The young man also had to have a lesion, which the doctors thought was cancer, removed from his blabber, so this young man is in a lot of pain. The surgery also caused more bleeding issues, for weeks on end. People made fun of him online, for about a year (a reporter nonetheless), and none of these reporters has been fired or made to pay for damages about the rumors they are spreading. They have even set the young man up to have him arrested so no one will ever know what the reporters did, but that did not work out. As it stands, people still tease Daniel and try to make life hard on him, but do not know what he is going through.

The young man wanted nothing more than to get a good paying job, take care of himself, and buy a home, but his reputation is so damaged that no one wants to hire him. Not only that, but with the stomach issue, some days he has stomach pains for days on end, along with back pain and headaches, which would make it nearly impossible to have a traditional job and make enough to support himself without getting hurt. As it stands, the reporters have been slandering the young man for over 8 years, but many of them are tired of the young man being hit, teased and abused and have been speaking up. We are not sure what is going to happen, but the corporations these reporters work for know what their employees have done.

My thing is, I want to let you know, just because someone is attractive and doing well, does not mean they are perfect. Also, to find out someone has medical issues and to spread that around is not only a crime, but is very immature. Not only is this young man in pain on the daily, he has to deal with more idiots than most because the reporters put him on blast and made up horrible stories about him, so it is not safe for this young man to be in public for too long. Personally, I could you imagine what it is like to want a normal life and have people physically hurt you and spread rumors about you and you are not even sure what is going to happen in your future as far as finances goes because you are injured? As with many men, his opportunities of observation were not as good as their opportunities of expression. So finally, the young man just gave up his hopes and dreams and is not depressed and not talking to anyone. From a tumor to all of these issues that did not used to exist. All he wanted was a normal life, job, house, and car, and his life is now ruined. So when you see him, be sure to laugh and keep teasing him, I am sure that is helping. Also, imagine how hard it is to even make a friend, let alone get a date, but I am sure the rogue reporters are happy. I bet Daniel now regrets getting the blood transfusions because now he is stuck here, living in pain and with the consequences. (Names were changed to protect the innocent.)

We must be humble and respectful. Other religion and virtue have received more real discredit from hypocrites than the wittiest profligates or infidels could ever cast upon them. Holidays are usually synonymous with good cheer, smiles, and a festive atmosphere—but occasionally, decorations can be the cause of friction and ill will as well.  When people of various faiths and traditions all live in the same high-rise building or Home Owner’s Association, one needs to especially take into account the rules, aesthetics, and safety guidelines of the entire community—not just those members who happen to be a part of the dominant culture. When it comes to the policy on holiday decorations, good resident boards and managers usually tread very carefully and are mindful of their associations’ diverse tenants, in common areas, such as lobbies, garages, hallways and balconies.

When people of various religions al live in the same high-rise building or community development, holiday decorating has to please everyone’s customs and traditions. So if any decoration goes on, it needs to be approved by the manager and agreed upon by the tenants, in an effort to keep everyone safe and happy. The decoration needs to address how much religion is allowed when it comes to decoration, what types of ornaments and lights will be allowed, and how much to put in the lobby and even the size of the items. A lot of high-rise buildings have the large glass windows, unobstructed, for your protection.  If something were to happen, and you could not contact the police, they are able to ride by and see that everyone is safe. However, with all the trees, faces on the walls and colors, they cannot see anything, which is putting you in danger. This is Midtown Sacramento, California, and there are criminals in the area. We are also blocks from the State Capitol, so the security of this building is very serious. I have heard many cry out against sin.

As I walked into the lobby today, of the apartment building today, I was completely offended and felt sick. The manager just spent thousands of dollars painting and buying new furniture, and plants and art work to go onto the walls. They even had to paint the same space three times because the tenants kept complaining about the colors. So after months of trying to get it right, the management came up with a design that beneficial for everyone. However, just days later, the same people who were complaining about how they hate pink or green or yellow, decorated the lobby for Christmas, without taking anyone else into consideration. The decorations are totally overboard and make the art gallery lobby look like a preschool, but no one is complaining because Mrs. Charlotte in 901 decorated the lobby and they are afraid to offend her. And Betty 604 has gotten away with seriously assaulting two people in this building, without being arrested and she was reported to police. Not everyone here is religious, and some religions do not celebrate Christmas, and it is a public space. Perhaps one could get away with a Christmas tree, but wait until you see these pictures.

These people, who are doing all the decorations, are aware that there are Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Jewish people in the building, who do not celebrate Christmas, but they do not care the these displays may be offensive, and possibly a safety issue. The problem is some of these people purposely try to make the high rise look off kilter, to make it undesirable and keep conflict flowing, and the management is aware and just lets these people violate their leases. Now being mature, you keep the complaints to yourself and just sit back and hope that the manager will start enforcing the lease agreement.

After all, they audit some people, for parking, and only give them a week to respond. The manager will post a note on your door, where everyone can read it, and say you have a week to bring your registration and license and insurance to their office. I know, because it happened to me, and if I had been out of town, they could have towed my car away. A week is not long to comply and anyone could have ripped the letter off my door without me every seeing it, and I would have gotten in trouble. I am not sure who manages this building, at 1820 Capitol Avenue, in Sacramento, California, but they are not doing a very good job. It is not just about the decorations, but they have tenants that live here who have assaulted others, are reported, reports are true, but they are not evicted or arrested.

There seems to be a double standard in this building for how they implement the rules, and the conduct is possibly a violation of federal law. If you know of ongoing problems, with specific tenants, and do not handle them, that creates an unsafe living environment, which is housing discrimination. Federal law prohibits housing discrimination based on your race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender, familial status or disability. If you feel your civil rights have been violated, you can file your fair housing complaint. Your housing discrimination complaint will be reviewed by a fair housing specialist to determine if it alleges acts that might violate the Fair Housing Acts. The specialist will contact you for any additional information needed to complete this review. If your complaint involves a possible violation of the Fair Housing Act, the specialist will assist you in filing an official housing discrimination complaint.  Contact U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at 800-333-4636. There is no crime so dangerous, so detestable, as hypocrisy; it has the complicated guilt of every crime that it conceals.

The first natural impulses of the distressed heart often point out the best alleviation. You preach a doctrine which you know you do not believe, it is the way with you all. If you know that there is no Earthly happiness, why do you long to be a bishop or dean? Why do you want lands and income? Customers, employees, suppliers—all the participants in the World of Business—come in different ages, genders, races, and ethnicities, nationalities, and abilities, a truth that business has come to label diversity. Understanding this diversity means recognizing and accepting differences as well as valuing the unique perspectives such differences can bring to the workaday.

For every advantage she imparts, Civilization holds a hundred evils in reserve. When managers speak of diversity, in the workforces, these experts typically mean differences in gender and race. While gender and race are important characteristics of diversity, others are also important. We can collect these differences into primary and secondary characteristics of diversity. Age, gender, race, ethnicity, abilities, and sexual orientation represent primary characteristics of diversity, which are inborn and cannot be changed. Secondary characteristics of diversity—work background, income, material statues, military experience, religious beliefs, geographic location, parental status, sexuality (who you are attracted to) and education—which can be changed. We acquire, change, and discard them as we progress through our lives.

Let the savages be civilized, but civilize them with benefits, and not with evils; and let heathenism be destroyed, but not by destroying the heathen. Defining characteristics of variety, as either primary or secondary enhances our understanding, but we must remember that each person is defined by the interrelations of all characteristics. In dealing with diversity in the workforce, managers must consider the complete person—not one or a few of an individual’s differences.

No bond unites congenial hearts more firmly than that of a common great aim. The American workforce is becoming increasingly diverse. Once dominated by the mainstream culture, today’s workforce includes significantly more women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Veterans and the disabled, as well as senior citizens. As of 2014, women make up 51 percent of the workforce, and that is up from 47.9 percent in 2010, so clearly American is changing. The population in American is 75.1 percent European American, 12.3 percent African American, 0.9 percent American Indian, 3.6 percent Asian persons, 0.1 percent Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander, and 12.5 persons of Hispanic or Latino origin. However, it is estimated that within the next 50 years, Hispanics will represent 24 percent of the population, while African Americans will make up 15 percent, and Asians 9 percent. In the past, these groups may have faced some mild discrimination and higher unemployment rates and possibly were denied opportunities to assume leadership roles, in corporate America. Consequently, more and more companies are trying to improve Human Resources Management (HRM) programs to recruit, develop, and retain more diverse employees to better serve their diverse customers. Some firms are providing special programs such as sponsored affinity groups, mentoring programs, and special career development opportunities.

At US West, each manager’s contributions to the company’s diversity efforts are measure by a 16-point scorecard called the Diversity Accountability Tool. Managers implement the scorecard to rate their own efforts to foster diversity and then explain their score in a meeting with the company’s Chief Executive Officer. The manager receives an official diversity scores that is one factor in determining the manager’s annual bonus. Since the program was instituted, scores have jumped 60 percent. McDonald’s, Fannie Mae, Denny’s, Union Bank of California, Sempra Energy, Southern California-Edison, SBC Communications, Freddie Mac, PepsiCo, PNM Resources, and the Golden 1 Credit Union (the leading credit union in California) Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency and Wal-Mart are known for effectively managing diversity in the Workforce by cultivating and valuing its benefits and minimizing its problems. They take customer concerns very seriously and are extremely professional.

Success supposed endeavor. There are a number of benefits to fostering and valuing workforce diversity, including the following: More productive use of a company’s human resources and revenue. More harmony and fellowship among employees of different ethnicities, cultures, religions, and sexual orientations as they learn to respect each other’s differences; other benefits include more productive working relationships among diverse employees as they learn more about and accept each other. There is also increased innovation and creativity as diverse employees bring new, unique perspectives to decision-making and problem-solving tasks. There is also an increased ability to serve the needs of an increasingly diverse customer base. Make ambition your business and indifference your relaxation and you will fail; however, make indifference your business and ambition your relaxation and you will succeed. So impish are the ways of the gods. Nothing is so dangerous, especially to those who are not much accustomed to it, as a little success.

Success in projects is everything—companies that do not value their diverse employees are likely to experience greater conflict, as well as prejudice and discrimination. CBS13, in West Sacramento, California is a perfect example, they even slander their own employees; Tony Lopez is one of the worst offenders. However, no matter how many times you ask them to stop or report to their parent corporation, they will keep doing what they want and will even threaten to have you arrested or fired if you speak up. Among individual employees, for example, racial slurs and gestures, sexist comments, and other behaviors by co-workers harm the individuals at whom such behavior is directed. The victims of such behavior may feel hurt, depressed, or even threatened and suffer from lowered self-esteem, all of which harm their productivity and morale. No evil is insupportable, but that which is accompanied with consciousness of wrong. In such cases, women and other employees may simply leave the firm, wasting the time, money, and other resources spent on hiring and training them. When discrimination comes from a supervisor, employees may also fear for their career and life. A discriminatory atmosphere not only can harm productivity and increase turnover, but it may also subject a firm to costly lawsuits and negative publicity.

The conscience is, like the spleen, a function whose uses are only to be understood in its derangement. A good conscience is the best of all narcotics. Astute businesses recognize that they need to modify their human resources management programs to target the needs of all their diverse employees, as well as the needs of the firm itself. These prestigious corporations realize the benefits of diversity are long term in nature and come only to those organizations willing to make the commitment. Most importantly, as workforce diversity becomes a valued organizational asset, corporations spend less time managing conflict and more time accomplish tasks and satisfying customers, which is, after all, the purpose of business.
