All Generous Spirits are Ambitious
Humans surely are a strange sort of creature, who never praises anyone more heartily than him who has spread destruction and ruin over the face of nations. There is a secret pleasure one has to hear oneself praised. Emotional stability is a measure of one’s emotional state. Emotional insecurity is a general feeling of unease. Some people can be terribly insecure sometimes, I am that way myself. I like to take pictures of architecture, cars, lights, buildings, statues, and nature. However, sometime I feel insecure when people are around because I do not want them to think I am trying to take a photograph of them. Nonetheless, under rare circumstances, I may ask someone if I can take his or her picture. Although if I ask to take your picture it is because you are doing something unusual (this may be a good thing).
I have this lofty idea of building my own media empire, from scratch, after all, this is America and people have come here penniless and become billionaires. By taking my own pictures and writing, I am trying something called vertical integration. Vertical integration is when a single corporation or individual has total control over production that can stifle competition. Even so, I have to learn to be more comfortable around others and realize that I am not the center of attention and no one is probably even paying attention to me. Making stuff up and then believing it is a counterproductive. You know, I am always in the same area, so even if I see someone I like, everyone once in a while, I will avoid them, so to not make our meetings awkward. Yet, keep in mind there is very little difference between a suppressed evidence and a false one.
We are always trying to understand or make sense out of our own and others actions. Humans strive to find meaning everywhere, and usually succeed. When we are interpreting something, we are finding meaning in that subject because it is not entirely clear. The expression of emotion is strongly influenced by learning, and some cultures tend to be more expressive than others. Another person’s cognitive process may not be the same as ours so do not assume that just because someone has a camera or is looking around that they are paying attention to you. You may actually be in their way. However, these are public spaces, so I have to learn to adapt my schedule to times that are better suited for what I am trying to do. Nevertheless, all kinds of mental activities—including fantasy and dreaming—can result in learning.
Children are extremely perceptive and absorb what goes on around them long before they can talk or even comprehend language. They are like finely tuned a receiver that pick up much more than is merely said. They are receptive and attuned to every mood, feeling, and change that goes on in the people around them. They are particularly affected by the way their parents, sisters, and brothers feel and act. A newborn, for example, senses the pain of hunger or discomfort, from a wet diaper, and cries. Mothers are quick to say, “She is unhappy, poor thing.” If we feed that hungry infant, change her diaper, she feels only contentment—elimination of tension and discomfort and goes back to sleep.
Some people are told that nice people do not ever show anger, at least not dramatically, or in public. A civilized person does not let his emotions get the best of him or cause him to make a fool of himself. Therefore, he might suppress his emotions and outwardly appear formal, academic, or aloof in his relations with others. However, this does not mean that he is going to explode. Some people find things they enjoy doing to release negative emotions. No one wants to suppress bad emotions so long that they come trembling out like that recent 6.1 magnitude Earthquake, in Napa, California USA, which caused Billions in damages. Sometimes people see problems where they do not exist. One will become anxious and look for signs of things going wrong. And of course, when we look for problems, we usually find them, even if, in reality nothing is wrong.
Therefore, that is why emotionally stable people do not always respond to things in their environment, as they do not want to be perceived as irate, crazy, or emotionally unstable. So, stop confusing your imagination with reality. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and you never know who is paying attention. Successful people are usually prosperous because they have talent, great personality and a good network. Meanwhile, competition brings out the worst passions in some, punishes individuals for the finer qualities, as generosity, attractiveness, truthfulness, independence, magnanimity, and ranks those highest, who has the least regard for his fellow beings. Nevertheless, a compassionate heart cannot be habitually an unjust one. You have to be emotionally attractive for people to want to draw close to you.
The Revolution
The Universe is considered to be 14 billion years old, and is composed of particle of matter, energy, gas and light that exists in space. Some scientists, like Albert Einstein, believed there to be an infinite number of Universes’. Inside of our Universe is the Milky Way Galaxy, there are several other galaxies also. NASA estimates that there are 500 billion galaxies. To illustrate this point, The Whirlpool is 23 million light years from Earth. In our solar system are the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Earth orbits the Sun. Earth, the only planet known to have human life, but there more than likely are other life forms out there, considering the vastness of our Universe. Earth is located in the Milky Way Galaxy, this galaxy is considered to be 13.6 billion years old, and contains about 200-400 billion stars. Inside of the Milky Way Galaxy, scientist estimate there are 160 billion planets, and at the center of the galaxy is a massive black hole.
The moon, which orbits Earth, is also located in the Milky Way Galaxy, and is about 4.4 billion years old. The moon used to be a planet, until it smashed into Earth. This planet split into two moons, which orbited the Earth, until they collided into each other, and merged, forming one moon. The Earth is believed to be about 4.58 billion years old, and has only known to have human life for about 100 million years. The Sun, which heats and provides light for Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Recently, there have been a lot of coronal mass ejection being projected from the Sun and they have been hitting Earth. The year of 2012, on Earth, is supposed to be very active with coronal mass ejections, and then the Sunspots, which produce these coronal mass ejections, will go dormant. The Sun will still continue act as a source of light and heat for the Earth.
However, in about 5 billion years, the Sun is expected to use all of its nuclear energy, expand into a red giant, then cool and retire as a cooler denser white dwarf. Also, it is likely that time travel is possible; the fact that the whirlpool galaxy is 23 million light years away is a strong indication. Also, consider taking a trip to China, this is what I call mini time travel, because China is a day ahead of California by at least thirteen hours. So if one was to take a flight from Sacramento, California, Thursday at 2pm, by the time one reaches Beijing, China, it will be Saturday at about 4pm, but in Sacramento, California, it will still be Friday and about 3am; that is technically time travel. “You must keep your mind on the objective, not on the obstacle.” -William Randolph Hearst

Your Love is My Drug
Oxytocin is a hormone, once thought to only be present in women, but studies have some that men also have oxytocin in their blood steam. Oxytocin is known for reducing fear and generating a feeling of well-being. It makes people feel like they are in love, which can help a pair enjoy mutual absorption of affection. Levels of oxytocin naturally increase when people are hugged, kiss, or shake someone’s hand. Also, people, who are in love, are shown to have increased levels of oxytocin in the plasma. High levels of oxytocin are said to make people more social, and can be used to treat people with autism by helping them to better communication their emotions. Oxytocin seems to have so many benefits; it is a hormone that is naturally created in the body, and released into the blood steam. Oxytocin is typically manifested in the hypothalamus and distributed into the plasma. This hormone is distributed by pituitary gland throughout the brain and the spinal cord, where it is bonded to oxytocin receptors, released throughout the body and influences behavior. In general, oxytocin is said to give a feeling of overall well-being. Although oxytocin is common in both men and women, this chemical has some enhanced functions for women. Studies have shown that women, who have higher levels of oxytocin in their blood, tend to connect better with their babies. These women have a special relationship with their babies, their babies are generally then center of their world. They tend to find joy in, “singing to their babies, pleasure in giving them bath, and enjoy feeding them. In looking at this evidence, it is possible that women with low levels of oxytocin may experience postpartum depression.
Studies have shown that newborns, which have a close relationship with their mothers, are more likely to be healthier. This is because women and babies get to know each other better, and the mother knows how to respond to the needs of her child. For the baby, connection with the mother and being held by the mother reduces stress on the baby because they cry less, are warmer, and have a sense of well-being because oxytocin is released, during skin-to-skin contact. These babies also get used to the natural bacteria on the mother’s skin and develop a natural immunity to other agents in the environment, so they are stronger. The more time two people spend together, the better they get to know each other. Since oxytocin is known to help people communicate better, synthetic oxytocin may help children with autism. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, which create social impairments, communication difficulties. Studies have also shown that autism is linked to mothers who experience maternal stress. So to prevent Autism, women should limit the amount of stress they endure while they are pregnant. They should also have a close bond with their newborn babies. If Autism does develop, it is possible that oxytocin hormone therapy could help.
There is a clear connection that most people who are social, loved and hugged tend to develop better socially. We have focused on the benefits of oxytocin in women and children. However, oxytocin is also important for men, and helps to make a relationship better. Loving couples tend to want to hug, kiss, touch and have sexual intercourse. This is a good thing because it will increase their oxytocin levels. Skin to skin contact is known to generate higher levels of oxytocin. Oxytocin is released during sexual intercourse in both men and women, which encourages bonding. However, testosterone neutralized oxytocin in men, so men are less likely to want prolonged contact after sexual orgasm. So if you want a long-lasting relationship with a man, it is better to hold out on sex, until the man has genuine feelings for you. That way there will be an attachment between the couple and the man will not only want to have sex with you, but he will crave your attention and be more likely to stick to the relations for the long haul. Couples who share thoughts, ideas, and other commonalities will have a relationship that is far more intimate than just sexual partners.
How Many of You Men and Women have been Raped?
There are many ways to win in this World, but none of them is worth much without good hard work back of it. It is devastating to know that when you are in a room, nearly half of them men and women in the room have been forced to have sex. While the legal definition of rape varies from state to state, most states have laws that define rape as sexual intercourse occurring under the actual or threatened forcible compulsion that overcomes the serious and honest resistance of the victim. We are concerned about how many journalists have been raped by a coworker or photographer because you people work alone with your photographers often, and in isolated areas, at unusual hours, and it is possible that someone has been raped and is not speaking up. It is possible that these concerns have been brought to the attention of your legal department, but you were threatened by union staff that if you speak up, they will have you arrested, sue you, or make it so that you cannot work again. Rape can range anywhere from the violent assault by a stranger, to a planned romantic date that devolves into coerced sex. What these acts have in common is a disregard of the feeling of victims and a willingness to take advantage of and, often, to harm them. There are usually three different types of rape. Stranger rape, which is rape by an unknown assailant; acquaintance rape (date rape) is committed by someone known to the victim. Statutory rape is intercourse with a person under the age of consent (usually 18) or having consensual sex with someone is mentally disabled. If an individual is incompetent, they cannot consent. Despite the fact that rape is a significant problem, it has been difficult to obtain accurate statistics on its frequency. And 97 percent of rapists have never been sent to prison, but 50 percent of rape claims have been deemed as false accounts.
One of the reasons is that many individuals do not report when they are raped, and men and women are both often raped. It is reported that 38 percent of men have been raped, and 40 percent of women have been raped. That is alarming that at any time, half of the people you look at have been forced to have sex. Some people think that real rapes are only violent attacks, but that is not the case. This definition includes victims who were forced to penetrate someone else with their own body parts, either by physical force or coercion, or when the victim was drunk or high or otherwise unable to consent. When those cases were taken into account, the rates of non-consensual sexual contact basically equalized, with 1.270 million women and 1.267 million men claiming to be victims of sexual violence. 54 percent of men have been raped by other men, and 88 percent of women have been raped by men. However, women and especially men do not report being raped because they are embarrassed, fear they will not be taken seriously, fear reprisal by the offender or his or her family, and are concerned about unwanted publicity may deter individuals from reporting rapes. It just blows my mind that someone would get you drunk, assault you and seriously hurt you, then take advantage of you. Then the rapist walks around like they own the World and did nothing wrong. There are so many drawbacks to regard and intimacy, from pride, from property, and various other collateral causes, that rarely as we meet with people of brilliant parts, there is almost ever some objection to our desire of meeting them again.
Versatility is the Foundation of Success–Great President
It is fate of most individuals who mingle with the World, and attain even the prime of life, to make many real friends, and lose them in the course of nature. It is the fate of all Presidents and journalist to create imaginary friends, and lose them in the course of art. A treacherous friend is the most dangerous enemy. The President has to interact with the media frequently, and the problem is that not all journalist are good, some of them have bad intensions. So the best thing for you to do, is open yourself up to them, invite them into your home, for an art show or something. Not every event with the press has to be about a pressing issue. Sometimes you can just hang out with the reporters and treat them like they are your friends, but understand that they may have ulterior motives. On the other hand, you have members of the press that will have your back even more than your lawyer. The idea of public relations is to have a group, who is a management tool for your business, the media, your branch of government, and other institutions. You want your public relationship team to establish beneficial relationships to accomplish goals. If we could just cool it with some of the negative coverage, threats and crime, those seeking attention may stop misbehaving.
As the President of the United States of America, think as yourself as the father of everyone in this country, and the media as your children. Children seek attention. If a child cannot receive good feedback, he or she will seek negative attention. Often children seek attention when it is difficult for parents to give it to them, such as when a parent is engaged in another activity like signing bills, dealing with an economic crisis, or spending time with his family, who still lives at home. When the journalists are behaving, their parents may not pay attention to them because they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. However, to keep your journalist behaving well, compliment them, maybe give their station a compliment for great coverage on something you did well, or send them a nice letter. Journalist misbehave to get attention, power, revenge, or to make their parents feel inadequate. So basically, they are seeking good attention, in all the wrong ways. In modern society, institutions have many relationships. The President, for example, has relationships with Congress, its faculty, its staff, and law enforcement, its benefactors, the neighborhood, the community, colleges, accreditors, banks, and many other programs. The list could go on forever. Each of these constituencies is called a public—hence the term public relations. And the object is to be on good terms with the public, so the like you and share good things about you.
Through research, the public relations practitioner studies these relationships to determine how well they are working. This evaluation is an ongoing process. If a complaint comes to your office, you never want to overlook it, but at the same time, you do not want to issue a threat, that is how you make enemies. First of all, let them know that you can relate to their concern and will address the issues, but first you need to gather more information. Give a few weeks, and if you decide it is the issue at hand is serious, then take corrective action. However, if it is just someone who is upset about something, never apologize—the President is not supposed to say sorry, it will make you look weak. Also, if students and the Press are disrespecting you, do not let them taunt you. Put them in check, professionally, on the spot, and have them removed from your meeting. This will show people that you are a strong President and will not tolerate foolishness, and will discourage anyone else from stepping out of line. When people start to think they are better than the President that is when we have a problem. These social media accounts, which are disrespecting you, need to be shut down. Never in my life have I seen so many people make such bad remarks about a President and get away with it, but that goes to show bad behavior is contagious and need to be eliminated. On your public relations team, you may want to have a few lawyers, a few journalists, former members of congress, and people you know like you. Their job is to recommend policies to top management to make these relationships work better, not only for you, but also for the partners in each relationship. However, being too nice, which many think you are could have consequences.
During the great, of 1929, it was discovered that some corporations were too nice to the public and their employees, which put them at risk with many public, including its own employees. I am not saying go all out and be mean, but you have to let it be known that you are not a joke and there will be serious repercussions for slander, harassment, assault, theft and lies. You need to have enlightened self-interest, which is a mutually beneficial public relationship with the media. Face, bad news tanks the economy and makes people act ugly, but when you point out all that is going well, people feel better and see that this is not the end of the World. However, when you are too nice to others, they lose their motivation and will monolithically run all over you and get the notion that they are running the game. Nonetheless, have some less formal events. Have journalist play golf with you, playing golf with the President would make their career and life and they will be happy. Invite them over for an ice cream social, and this will get them to like you as a person, but they will also know business is business. You can also set up municipal programs with certain cities and grants for schools and scholarships for employees’ children and people who share your views. Still, you will need critics, on your staff, to keep you on your toes, and critics and haters are not the same.
Some of you most valuable supporters are your critics. It is often those who love you, who will do you wrong out of concern, until they learn the truth. Once you straighten the nation out and let them know what time it is and who is boss, you will benefit from a revised image, and in the spirit of enlighten self-interest, so will the rest of the America and the World. Public relations are used to accomplish goals. Plant good press releases that you know newspapers, magazines, and TV news and radio stations will pick up, do not be afraid to seek some good press. Maybe someone has overcome a challenge and it is found out that you are supporting this person through college. That will look good in the public’s eye, especially if that person is from a group, who opposes you. And keep in mind, many huge corporations found themselves in disfavor, in the late 1800s, for ignoring the public good to make profits. This idea that just because corporations have so much money and support the economy, so they skate on fraud, assault and corruption, because taking them down would hurt the economy is just bogus. If bad behavior keeps spreading, it will hurt us all more. This will be a nation fighting itself and at war with the rest of the World. We have to set an example. We do not need to arm anyone, people need to learn to communicate, be fair and show respect. Nothing is so dangerous, especially to those who are not much accustomed to it, as a little success.

Teen Marriage and Teen Pregnancy and Prostitution
For the wrong done by the captain, all the captains conspire to do greater wrongs; peace is only a name for civil war. Life itself is civil war; and our enemies are more or less strong and numerous, according to circumstances. Teens should not even be having sex, as it is illegal, nor should they be having babies. Teenagers are basically children. Their bodies and brains are not fully developed, so they cannot be fully responsible for their choices and decisions. Not only that, but if you are not fully developed and you get pregnant and have children, it is likely those babies could face psychological issues of developmental issues. There are many teenage prostitutes, in the United States, and Canada. After they have run away from their homes, teenagers often become prostitutes as a means of survival. In their minds, because teens are not fully cognitive, other options for earning money are limited or nonexistent. As one adolescent prostitute reported: There are no doors open to us…How are you going to be able to hold down a job if you have no high school diploma? Well, many teenagers got jobs while they were in high school and graduated and went to college. However, many teenage prostitutes come from privileges families and they sell themselves to their parents’ business partners, and some teen prostitutes come from modest backgrounds, and hook up with their parents’ friends, coworkers, their teachers or religious leaders. And some youth are actually having sexual relationships with their children. And I had no idea about the Catholic priest and the sex scandals, with young boys, until the media broke the story. Just goes to show you, credibility is not linked to your title.
Approximately 95 percent of youth prostitutes have been survivors of sexual abuse or some have been abandoned by their families. Many of these teen prostitutes are not preforming well in school, and have low self-value. Furthermore, about 60 percent of boys and 80 percent of girls, in prostitution, have seriously considered suicide. It is interesting to note that male prostitutes, who are teens, usually do so because they have unstructured and unsupervised home lives, and they also feel rejected by their peers and have few friends. However, some of the females, who are child prostitutes, seek adult attention and affection, and they believe that prostitution is glamorous and fun and exciting. However, the reality of the situation is that having a pimp, walking the streets, or becoming a prostitute is extremely dangerous. There are risk of contracting HIV, 35 percent of prostitutes are known to have HIV, which is a disease that will eat your body alive and anyone who has contact with you sexually or your body fluids can catch it. And it has been noted that in tropical regions, HIV can live outside of the body because it is so humid. There are other serious problems associated with prostitution such as drugs, sharing needles, which can also lead to disease, viruses and death. Children involved in prostitution often suffer emotional distress and have a hard time adjusting to life. Many of them view themselves as sexual objects to be gratified and sold. Sometimes these prostitutes will get traditional jobs, but have problems dealing with the low pay and authority. Therefore, childhood prostitutes may have problems establishing real relationships and will likely engage in other crimes. Some teenage prostitutes work out of their parents’ home, with or without parental consent. Also, prostitutes are highly likes to be beat up, raped and killed. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of childhood prostitutes have been assaulted. An estimated 75 percent of prostitutes have been violently raped in situations not involving their work. And many prostitutes suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Furthermore, 83 percent of prostitutes have been threaten with a weapon, 68 percent have been raped while they were working, and 84 percent of child prostitutes report being homeless (many of them probably ran way). Meanwhile, 88 percent of prostitutes do not like being hookers, and want to escape.
Nonetheless, if the teen is a prostitute and gets pregnant or simply is breaking the law by having underage sex and has a baby, this is not always a good idea, as these youth are not fully developed and need to wait because they could ruin the child’s life. Some teens see a baby as a way to make a man settle down with them and support them. Others see these babies are toys and do not realize how serious the situation is. And because these teens are not financially or mentally stable, they made taunt their children, abuse their or set their child up to fail. And some of these teen prostitutes are likely to be jealous of their children, as they grown up and try to live their life right and might do something to ruin the life of their child. This is not a judgment call, but it is my belief that people should grow up and live life a little, before having a job, settle down, get a career going and buy a house. That way they are ready for the baby and can handle the responsibility. It cost about $500,000.00 to raise a child to age 18, and that does not include college cost. So people make fun of men and women, in their 50s, who have infants, toddlers, and preteens, but I think it is honorable that you took so much time to consider the life of your unborn baby, and waited because you did not want them to suffer unnecessarily. Nonetheless, some want to have children, when they are young, but men can bank their sperm and save it until they are older and the female body can get pregnant, even when women are in their 50s, so there is no need to rush. Take good care of yourself. And young men, please because, I know many of you do not want to admit it, but you are fathers because you got drunk, and a woman took advantage of you and now you are stuck with a baby. All the drinking and drugs that young people tend to do have consequences. Think before you act and know your surroundings. War is the most terrible of all disasters, except dishonor.
Come Out and Play—Robbie the Enchanted Doll
Psychologist have spent considerable time studying the patterns of Children’s play. This gives them a chance to explore his surroundings and practice manipulating toys and other objects, the learning coordination, enjoyment and creativity, which is tremendously important in a child’s life. Play helps children experience happiness and creativity, but sometimes child’s play can be a very bad thing. The Harris family found a charming Victorian house, in Oakland California and it had a history. Dale was sad that he had to move, so his parents took him to Toys R Us and let him pick out a few toys. “I always wanted a Teddy Ruxbin and that Robbie Doll and the boy My Buddy and Robbie the Enchanted Doll, but my parents would never let me have one and I never knew why?”
Robbie the Enchanted Doll is supposedly cursed has become a fixture of ghost tours since it was inducted into the Fort East Martello Museum. It was rumored that Robbie the Enchanted Doll had human hair. Eugene was given the doll in 1906 by a Bahamian servant who was skilled in black magic and voodoo and was displeased with the family. Soon afterward, the family supposed that there was something eerie about the Robbie doll. Eugene’s parents often heard him talking to the doll and that Robbie the Enchanted doll spoke back. Many assumed that Eugene was simply answering himself in a changed voice, they claimed to have later realized that the doll was actually speaking. Neighbors claimed to have seen the doll moving from window to window when the family was out. Sometimes the Robbie the Enchanted doll would emit a terrifying giggle, and the Otto family caught glimpses of it running from room to room. In the night Eugene would scream, and when his parents ran to the room, they would find furniture knocked over and Eugene in bed…looking incredibly scared, telling them that “Robbie did it!” In addition, guests claim to have seen Robbie the Enchanted Doll’s expression change before their eyes and he often blinked.
When Eugene died in 1974, the doll was left in the attic until the Victorian house was bought again. The new family included a five-ear old boy, Dale, who became Robbie’s the Enchanted Doll’s new possession. It was not long before the boy began screaming out in the night, claiming that Robbie the Enchanted Doll moved about the room… and the boy claims that Robbie the Enchanted Doll even attempted to attack him on multiple occasions, and wanted to kill him. So the parents took Robbie the Enchanted Doll and no one knows what they did with it? Rebecca says they threw that doll in Ocean Beach.
(Dale as a Child)
Typically, toddlers have imaginary friends, and that is considered normal. However, as the child grows older and goes to school, the imaginary friends go away. People on social media should be looked at as imaginary friends, do not get attached to them. If they are not helping you, then let them go. Often times, people develop imaginary relationships in their heads, they think they are dating Orlando Bloom, or that if they adore Paris Hilton enough, she will magically descend from the sky, and buy you a cup of coffee. While it is healthy to admire people, it is not healthy to get attached to people online because they may simply string you along and manipulate you, and you have no one to blame, but yourself. Often times, people who you form imaginary friendships and relationships with, know you have feelings about them, and they will subtly manipulate you, so it looks like you are obsessed with them. On the flipside, they make it seem that they have no connection to you, and every time you try to break up with your imaginary friend, they try to make you feel sorry for them. They make take pictures to look sad, or suggest they are going to harm themselves if you move on, but who really knows? Imaginary friends are not real. They may provide companionship, to lonely children, and are someone they can trust. These imaginary friends are simply preparing your children for when they make real friends, then they will have practice and know how to deal with real people.
(Dale above)
Imaginary friends give your children a chance to play out relationships, feelings and emotions, in their head, and it is safe because no one is physically getting hurt. Imaginary friends are not necessarily a problem; these friends give you a chance to get to know your kid and their darkest secrets. For example, Dale might say that is imaginary friend Ken does not like to go out at night. Ken does not exist. The fact of the matter is Billy may have a fear of the dark, and he is just using Ken, his imaginary friend, as an excuse, so he does not seem like a baby. Sometimes you have to treat the imaginary friend as they are your child. To further illustrate my point, “Mom, Ken said we get to have Milkshakes and cake today for dinner.” Now, no reasonable parent, unless it is a special occasion, will approve of such a meal. So what you have to do is pretend Ken and real and say, “Ken, that is too much sugar, you and Dale better eat your vegetables, so you both can be strong and healthy.” That way, on a subliminal level, you are letting young Dale know that you know Ken is a figment of his imagination, without hurting Dale’s feelings. After a while, Dale will let go of Ken and make real friends, and you will never hear of Ken again. There is nothing wrong with your child, he may just be shy. As long as his imaginary friend Ken is not hurting him, then that is okay. However, if you are worried and want to speed things up, to exorcise Ken, you need to introduce Billy to real people, and help him have good experiences. Ken may just be there, for Billy, until Billy is not so fearful of the real World.
(Ken is picture above)
When Dale gets older, he may remember Ken, and it could become clear to him, why he created this imaginary friend, Ken. Past life regression, some think it is a myth, but I think it is a reality. Some people believe that past life regression is studying a former life, at another space and time, but you are not the same person you were ten years ago, your life and circumstances have changed. So if people bringing up things that happened to you as a child, you are technically experiencing past life regression; you may have moved on, and these may be some very painful memories, and I am not sure why anyone would want to keep bringing up painful experiences? Perhaps some of them are trying to get a clear picture of what happened, and others may be trying to manipulate you? Nonetheless, if you do not want to keep living the same life over and over again, you need to talk to these people and tell them, “I am an adult now, there was a time when those matters should have been investigated, but it is old news and time to move on. That was ten years ago, and the only way I can let go is if you do. If not, I have to let go of you. I am to try and have a normal life and the more you bring the past up, the harder that is.” Not only Dale, but others are tired of the crying, emotions and painful memories too. Nonetheless, if you think your life is hard, try reading Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs; modern American life is heaven. “I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
Dale grew up and forgot all about Robbie the Enchanted Doll and Kenny the bad boy, until he graduated from college and tried to get into the field as a reporter. Social media is magical, I love it, but it can also be a source of danger and stress, as you never truly know who you are communicating with or what their intentions are. For all you know, one individual could be a group of people simply toying with you for giggles and amusement. Before long, Dale started having a lot of problems because a photojournalist Kenny, thought it would be fun to play games with his life and make up wild stories about him. After a while, everyone hated Dale and would make fun of hit and attack him and he got seriously hurt because of rumors that Kenny was spreading. Then Kenny took it upon himself to start stalking Dale. One day, on 1 June 2013, Dale opened his door and Kenny was started right there, he quickly shut the door and gave a description of the man at the door to Ian, Ian identified the man as Kenny. Dale was shocked because he had talked to Kenny on social media and looked up to him, but was unsure what Kenny was doing at his door, in the hallway. He blew it off and sent Kenny a nice pair of shoes that Kenny had requested, in exchange for meeting him. However, Kenny never came back to meet Dale, like he had promised, instead Kenny started stalking Dale. Dale would look up, and there would be Kenny in front of his house or waiting on the side of the freeway, holding a sign. No one believed Dale, at first, until they checked the video cameras, in the house, and on the car.
To further confirm that Kenny was a problem and had been stalking Dale, Dale received a letter from Kenny’s employer saying that they were going to have him arrested for cyber stalking Kenny and harassing him. However, everyone is not aware that Kenny had been online harassing Dale, for years. Calling him a demon, tranny, saying that he was inbred and all kind of horrible things, Kenny has an account on thoughts.com called Wirelessguru1, and Kenny claims that he his god and basically is mean or annoys everyone on the site. After years of relentlessly harassment by Kenny, under the guise of wirelessguru1, Dale deleted all 1,500 of his research reports and moved to another site. Because of Kenny’s rumors, an older man invited Dale over for drinks, got him drunk, pushed him to the ground and sodomized him, just to make sure he had a penis. As a result, Dale now has a spine that has been fracture, in two places and was on bed rest for a month.
Kenny would wake up every morning and leave a nasty comment on Dale’s page, and Dale got fed up because Kenny was stressing Dale out to the point that it was causing health problems, that are well documented by his medical doctor. Dale’s hair was falling out; he could not use the bathroom, even after taking 8 laxatives and drinking two cups of prune juice. So Shannon stepped in and says, “Hey, stay away from him, stay away from the site and just ignore him, so Dale did. At this point, everyone can see that Kenny has a mental problem and is has been going overboard to mess with Dale and even getting other reporters to join in on the fun. Yet, no one is sure of what is going to happen to Kenny, as of now, but it is clear that Kenny needs psychological help. The FBI and the police have been notified about the harassment from Kenny, but there is so much that has happened over the years that I cannot even tell you all in one paper. Nonetheless, Dale’s sister, Rebecca said that Kenny looked like that doll, Robbie the Enchanted, that Dale used to play with as a child, and reminded Dale that often times, art imitates. She also told Dale that she truly believes that Kenny is a demon, in human form and that is why he is so evil.
Kenny has not yet been punished and his employers are even protecting him. Everyone in the community is aware of Dale and knows that a group of people have been harassing him. The moral of the true story is to be careful what you wish you, and do not complain when you get it because at one time, it was exactly what you wanted. However, Kenny has been putting Dale’s life in danger and people are sick of it and the tables are about to turn.
New Sacramento King’s Arena on the Way!
I never knew why anyone was ashamed of the truth. Did you ever notice that a railroad company numbers its cars from 1,000, instead of 1? Few men love the truth for its own sake. The biggest, strongest, machine in North America is being used to tear down the iconic Sacramento, California USA Down Town plaza. To make room for the new Sacramento Kings area, which will be located in Down Town Sacramento, California and will have no parking, nor will there be any updates to the freeway and you have seen the traffic headaches that come out of Candle Stick Park. The iconic Open Air Mall and buildings are the only active clothing shopping center, in the area, and is being torn down. Sacramento Downtown Plaza, formerly known as Westfield Downtown Plaza and Downtown Plaza, is a two-level outdoor shopping mall, with glass elevators, named brand stores, at one time, there was a Macy’s, Weinstock’s, Java City Coffee Shop, Rustaller Brewery, Forever 21, Hard Rock Café, Gap, Banana Republic, Foot Locker, Guess Store, Eddie Bauer, and Hammond’s Candies Candy Store, and Mrs. Fields Cookies. a playground for children, beer garden, food court, movie theater, office buildings, a college and bank, owned by JMA Ventures LLC, located in downtown Sacramento, California, United States near the State Capitol building. The shopping center was bordered by J Street to the North, L Street to the south, 7th Street to the east and 4th Street to the West.
One resident, Dean Nelson said, “It brings back a lot of memories. There’s a lot of nostalgia here, but that’s progress. After 89 years they’re ready for a new building, so I’m happy to see the progress, but sad to see the old building go.” Apparently, Mr. Nelson believes this is where he met his wife, Annie Courier. Dean recount a romantic evening when he and Annie were walking through the mall and she was so busy applying makeup, that she dropped her compact into a fountain, because she walked into a pillar. This is where he claims he met the love of his life, a 16-year-old Latvian refugee, Named Erin Michelle Golodryga, who was recently left with a $3 Million inheritance. Erin claims, “Dean couldn’t speak English, so they put him in the first grade for a while. I felt sorry for him because he didn’t have any friends, so I’d go visit him and hang out with him, but then after a few months he went away and I never saw him again.” Attorney General Kmala Harris says, “It was difficult for the staff when the decision was made to tear down the old mall because several of their children attended shopped their and the community has many generational ties to it.” Other member of the community, including Sarah Howe, age 12, says, “I’ve been coming here since kindergarten so it’s kind of sad to see it go. This place is just really awesome. I know this mall inside and out and I just love it here.”
Hundreds of Thousands of people are fight the construction of the new arena, as it is too expensive, the design does not fit in with the vibe of the city, and there will be no parking for events that will pack in up to 18,336 individuals. The new arena will cost $477 million, with $255 million of that being funded by the City of Sacramento. The rest of the arena cost of $222 Million, will be funded by the Sacramento Kings owners. The final cost of the new arena, after financing is expected to be nearly $800 Million. This is at a time when the city of Sacrament is in debt by $245 Million and the state of California may actually be in debt by $1 Trillion, and the United States of American is in debt by $17.7 Trillion. And that is why a judge will reconsider Sacramento, California USA, fronting the $255 Million to finance this arena deal. The new Kings arena may have to change its design to fit in with the historic look of the community, if they want this deal to pass. Many are still upset about the new Crocker mansion, which once used to display art in a historic Victorian mansion, but has now been moved to a modern complex, which looks like a prison. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Arena Down Town Plaza Mall is still being torn down to make ways for the new arena. However, Honorable Judge Timothy Frawley vehemently reported that much of the lawsuit will remain intact. However, percentages of the lawsuit and the new arena are not legally sufficient. The police have complained that there will be crowd control issues, and the down town infrastructure will not support so much new traffic and so much human capital spilled into the area at one time. Many critics feel the new arena is illegal and wasteful and that the Sacramento City Council and Mayor Kevin Johnson are guilty of fraud and abuse of power, in demanding this new arena, at a time when California is deep in debt and running out of water.
California is the most populous state in the nation, and the human population continues to rise. An increasing population increases demands on resources such as land and water, which are also needed by native plants and animals. Loss of habitat and habitat fragmentation are contributing to the decline of many native plant populations. California Environmental Quality Act announced 28 August 2014 that it will provide evidence in a new court find that the new Kings arena is a threat to public safety and the environment. Remember how Bryan Stow, age 42, of Santa Cruz, suffered brain damage because the Dodger’s Stadium did not have adequate security or room for the cops to respond and Byran Stow was beaten to a bloody pulp and now has brain damage that could affect memory, thinking ability and even personality – as a result of a severe skull fracture and bad bruising to his frontal lobe of his brain. Frontal lobe: The part of each hemisphere of the brain located behind the forehead that serves to regulate and mediate the higher intellectual functions. The frontal lobes are important for controlling thoughts, reasoning, and behaviors. Now Bryan Stow has to be waited on Hand and Foot for the rest of his life.
Also, do not forget the nightmare traffic, at the candle stick Park, when a tsunami was cars comes rushing out for events. The recent Paul McCartney farewell show, at Candlestick Park, was horrible because some ticket holders reported missing the show altogether due to the traffic gridlock. One of our reporters on the scene, Darren, reported that it took him more than three and a half hours to get from Oakland to the concert, in San Francisco, California, which was just 11.3 miles. Many others report that traffic, after the concern was not any better, with some concertgoers saying that cars did not move for an hour and a half, as they waited in their cars to exit the parking lot. That New Sacramento King’s Arena is a disaster waiting to happen, there will be rush hour traffic, people getting off work, converging with people trying to go to a basketball game or concert, at the new arena, and they will all just collided onto the highways, streets and roads, at once, making it impossible for Emergency Responders to rescue people, and the city will be socked in by traffic, like Great Brittan on a Winter’s morning. So if someone is having a heart attack, or there is a fire or flood, it will nearly be impossible for the crews to reach you on time.
Also, many worry about the damage to native plants from the construction and pollution. Up to 26 species of California plants may now be extinct in the state, and some plants have been so severely reduced that they are at risk of extinction. Human activity has introduced many exotic plant species that can outcompete and choke out native plants, and climate change will impact native plants in ways that are difficult to predict. To further highlight this issue, the Tahoe yellow cress is a California endangered plant species, which means that killing or possessing this plant is prohibited by the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Tahoe yellow cress is a dark green, low growing perennial herb that branches extensively. It blooms with yellow flowers between late May and early October, depending on precipitation and lake levels. At the time of this webpage’s posting, Tahoe yellow cress is a candidate for listing under the federal Endangered Species Act, and the California Natural Diversity Database reports 17 occurrences of Tahoe yellow cress that are presumed to still exist, and some have been seen in Midtown Sacramento, and at the Sacramento River. Nonetheless, alas for humanity, the glory and the glare of warfare, under false notions of renown, are too often sufficient not only to conceal the bloodshed and the horror, but to stimulate to undue vengeance, and to make resistance premature, and turn the desire of justice into a passion for revenge.
Hey, You Look Like Me!
When you are a member of an underrepresented group, it is always nice to have mentors, who look like you, act like you, are the same gender and the same ethnic background. In America, and especially Sacramento, California, Mulatto men (African American and European American) are truly represented. When I was student a Sac State, many teachers found it hard to profile me and thought I was sick because my skin was not as dark as they are used to seeing African American men, and some people will treat you like an outcast. I have African American friends, but they do not treat me like they treat their other black friends. Like, I do not get invited to their parties and clubs because I do not fit in. So I pretty much got over being included and became okay with being an individual. After all, the white people, my age, have done me far worse than the blacks. They let me know off the bat that they did not like me because they all ganged up on me and made fun of me and spread very nasty rumors, and took my resources and tried to get me in trouble and thought it was funny; that is totally fine.
What is done in the dark will always be seen in the light. Now, I know not to open myself up to others so easily. However, as I was watching the CBS Evening News tonight, and saw Maurice DuBois, who is an American television anchorman, for WCBS-TV in New York City, and the CBS network, was anchoring the World news desk tonight and that made me feel good. Not only is his skin the same color as mine, but his hair is the same texture and I know he has had to have had some of the same experiences as me. So in a way one feels like they are having a conversation with someone who can truly relate to them. Just seeing Mr. DuBois made my eyes light up and made me feel better as a person. You do not see many black men on TV, especially not Mulattos, and it is nice to be represented, as it gives you hope that people will get used to looking at you and other opportunities will open up for you.
Growing up, I never thought so much about skin color, ethnic background, or anything, we were all just a bunch of kids having fun. So to me, I was just like everyone else. However, as an adult, hearing people, who are also African America or European American, talking about your skin color because it is not as dark as they likely was a total culture shock to me. There are some benefit, like for the past four years, since I let my hair grown back, I get compliments on it almost daily–people love the natural reddish brown color and the waviness of my hair, and that is so nice. Another great thing is I am relatively tall, smart, good-looking and look younger than I am. However, no one should be made to feel differently or discriminated against. Today, being underrepresented usually means you are part of a group of people that comprises less than half of some population. Sociologist are very interested in these the status of underrepresented groups. However, when people use the term minority group, they are usually defining a category of people who are set apart for unequal treatment because of physical or cultural characteristics. While there are many kinds of minorities, including religions groups, people with disabilities and others, it is important that the term minority is not always about ethnic background. When individuals are discriminated against, this means that they are not just facing prejudice attitudes, they are facing actions from others who treat them unequally because of their group membership.
Discrimination may be personal, legal or institutional. Personal discrimination includes attacks on minority group members, from social slights (everyone in the office gets together and harasses you because you look different), and insults to murder. In legal discrimination, minority group members are denied lawful access to public institutions, jobs, housing, and social rewards. There is also another kind of discrimination, institutional discrimination, where people are treated unequally because of beliefs and actions that are embedded in social institutions. During the 1960s, largely due to the Civil Rights movement and government action, many forms of racial and ethnic discrimination declined in the United States. However, the pendulum appears to be shifting in the opposite direction. People seem to be in an uproar about ethnic background. However, I just want to make it clear, most of the European Americans that I make contact with, in person, are very nice and polite, as well as others. It is just when you are different and seen as competition, others in the field want to crush you before you get started. And I have to really give a shout out to my mentor, she is also a reporter and has done a great job. I do not want her to feel slighted, nor do I want to embarrass her by saying her name. The things I have learned from you, I will always be carrying with me. I know she understand what I am going through and has had many of the same experiences. Thank you.
Emotions and Professional Humans
Love may do much, but friendship shall do wonders; friendship, the nobler passion of the mind, born with the soul, must still with that survive, when love, the silly baby of the fancy, can be no more. At school, friendship is a passion. It entrances the being; it heals the soul. However, in our computer-oriented, information-valuing society, emotions and emotional people are often ridiculed. It is usually not a compliment when you are described as someone who is emotional. Being human (and not humanoid), we are all emotional, though we may deny it. We all have emotional responses to events and people and potentials for far more feeling than we often express. People who tell others not to be so emotional are usually intellectually aware of this fact, but what they are probably really trying to say is do not let your emotions get the best of you, you do not want to be a slave to your feelings. However, human beings are not mechanical or machinelike. Nonetheless, white collar workers, people who perform professional, managerial, or administrative work, spend 28 percent of their workweek checking emails, up to 74 times a day, even when they are eating dinner or in bed. White-collar workers–well, most of them were possessed by electronic messages a stunning 13.5 hours a day, well into the evening. There is no particular virtue in being humanoid, unless you are a robot, which most of us are trained to become. When you do things you like, it boosts your energy levels, and makes you feel rested. No one is meant to just work and never have fun. The idea behind giving people a break is to let them relax and let them rest. Then they can come back to work with a fresh spirit. Individuals have a full range of emotional responses, and if we are honest, most of us would admit that we would prefer a bit more feeling in the people around us.
However, some cultures, like Native Americans and journalists place high value on lack of emotional responses among their men or employees (male and female). The idea is prizing the stoic face of the brave, who could face danger without showing fear, or who could stand intense pain without showing any response. Although emotions are a natural part of the human experience, they do not want you expressing emotions because it may make you seem weak or may allow people to label your emotional responses as right, wrong, good, bad, normal and abnormal. The philosophy is that the members of your culture devalue emotional involvement and emotional expression, as it urges detachment and evenness of attitude. This will likely make it harder for people to read or judge you and you are less likely to be physically, mentally or verbally attacked. Productive people show only certain emotions and only at appropriate times and in the culturally prescribed ways. However, sick people, that is, those who are not acceptable, who do not conform, who puzzle or displease us—display all the sick emotions. A person may be told that nice people do not ever show anger, at least not very dramatically. It is not even okay to express emotions of your face, unless it is a smile, at the right time that way you never let anyone get the best of you or predict your responses. Civilized people do not let their emotions get the best of them or make a fool of themselves. Experts suggest that it is best to suppress your emotions and outwardly appear formal, academic, or aloof in one’s relations with others. Some also suggest not to let too many people get too close to you, emotionally. However, the warning is while you will be more protected, it could lead to a lonely life and you probably will not have too many close, rewarding relationships. Nonetheless, quality is better than quantity. This day in age, so many people are out to get others and hustle you and steal information. Remember, you are always being judged and labeled, accepted or rejected, repressed or acted out. There are a thousand familiar disputes, which reason never can decide.
