For the ones that are not sure which countries “The Nordics” actually means, do not worry there has been much debate about it. Most commonly recognized as the Nordics are the five countries of Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland.
There are many reasons for travel depending on an individual’s own interest and desires of what to do and see in the world. Generally speaking, I would say that a visit to any of the Nordic countries fits those who enjoy and appreciate what mother nature has to offer. The Nordics countries have a combined population of only 26 million people spread out over roughly 3.5 million square kilometres. In comparison India has an area of almost 3 million square kilometres and a population of 1.3 billion people. So you can imagine how much untouched nature is available in the Nordics! In this blog my top 5 recommendations for activities in the Nordics.
Try and spot the Nordic lights
I believe almost every nature lover has “seeing the Northern lights” on their list, and for good reason. This natural phenomenon just takes your breath away each time you are lucky enough to experience it. And I say “lucky enough” on purpose, because a big disclaimer should be added here: even if you plan a trip to see the Northern Lights, there is no guarantee, Mother Nature decides if you do or do not get to see them. My only tip is to plan enough time in the region to broaden your chances.
The best places the see the Northern Lights have to start with, always be within The Arctic Circle. On rare occasions it is possible to view the Northern Lights more southern than the Arctic Circle, but there is a better guarantee if you go that far north. Between December and March is the best time of year to catch a glimpse. Furthermore, weather conditions are important, so on clear nights free of clouds you optimize your chance to see them. There are several apps and websites to help you in finding the best time, such as Service Aurora. Norway and Iceland have an abundance of places specialized in spotting the Northern lights, but the Aurora Sky Station in Abisko, Northern Sweden is also one highly recommended.
Husky dog sledding excursions
Perhaps you are planning your trip to the Nordics surrounding my previous point, seeing the Northern Lights. If so, definitely combine this with a husky sledding excursion, since you will most probably find yourself in the right area with the right weather conditions to do so. Husky sledding excursions are mostly offered in northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and the best period to do so is as well from December to April. Husky sledding excursions can be booked as part of a group tour, or you can book a private excursion.
What is so astonishing about these excursions is that most husky sledding tours are in areas that are very hard to get to, meaning the nature is as untouched as possible. You might even come across some reindeer herds or moose families! Before starting a dog sledding tour, you will receive a training on how to steer your sled, as well as getting the time to connect with the husky’s that will be pulling you ahead. Great locations for dog sledding are: Kiruna in Sweden, Finnish Lapland (for example through the Pallas-Ylläs National Park), Finnmark or Svalbard in Norway.
A culinary trip through Denmark
Some of the best restaurants in the world are to be found in Denmark, why that is, is probably a combination of reasons. Having lived in Denmark myself I can say that the Danes have a strong feeling of responsibility to nature and therefore make conscious choices to what they eat. From this perspective and the respect they have to what Mother Nature provides them in foods, I believe many great chefs have been born.
Planning an entire trip through Denmark based around visiting restaurants might sound strange but I promise that it will be so worth it. Important to note that you should start planning many months ahead of time, since some of these restaurants have at least a six months waiting list.
A Danish classic that you can find anywhere in the country and mostly eaten as lunch, is the Danish smørrebrød. In Copenhagen I would recommend the restaurant Aamanns 1921 or Øl & Brød. Copenhagen is packed with Michelin star restaurants and from the abundance of choices the ones I would recommend are: The Alchemist for its unusual and experimental experience. Geranium, years and years one of the best restaurants worldwide. Formel B which has an innovative French cuisine. Kiin Kiin, the only Thai restaurant with a Michelin star outside of Thailand. And if you are able to get a table, of course Noma, to experience the genius ideas of famous chef René Redzepi. Just 10 km north of Copenhagen you will find restaurant Jordnær which literally translates to “down to earth” and that is also translated in every single one of their dishes. Then on the west coast of Denmark there is the fantastic Henne Kirkeby Kro.
And lastly, if you have the time, make sure to travel to the island of Bornholm. It is said that Bornholm has longer hours of sunlight and a richer soil than most places on earth and therefore produces some of the richest tasting ingredients. When on Bornholm, make sure to book a table at Kadeau. Kadeau creates its entire menu from local ingredients and changes the menu per season only depending on what the island has to offer.
The National park of Iceland
I decided to describe Iceland in a new way: the national park of Iceland, since the country is simply filled with natural phenomenons to discover. Iceland is almost a fairytale like country, and the mysterious and breath-taking nature has led to many stories and sagas of mystical creatures. For the ones that have watched Game of Thrones, you might recognize many landscapes, since most of the series has been shot on Iceland.
The Golden Circle and Blue lagoon are a good place to start in Iceland. The Golden Circle consists of the three most popular sights in Iceland: the Geysir Geothermal Area, Gullfoss Waterfall and Þingvellir National Park. The Geysir Geothermal Area is a hot-spring haven in Haukadalur Valley. Just a 10-minute drive from the Geysir you will arrive at the Gulfoss waterfall which is one of the most beautiful and powerful waterfalls in Iceland. And then lastly the Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important places to visit in Iceland. The Blue lagoon is the most well-known hot spring in Iceland, and after visiting all the beautiful places of the Golden Circle, you will deserve to spend some time in this huge geothermal bath.
One of the most photographed places in Iceland is Diamond beach with its black sand and giant iceberg pieces decorating the sand like sparkling diamonds. Besides the Diamond beach, the south coast of Iceland is covered in several more astonishing black beaches to drop your jaw at. The black colour of the sand comes from flattened glacier rocks that turn into black sand. The most famous black beach is Reynisfjara.
There is so much more to see in Iceland that this part does not do it justice, for example the number of glaciers and lagoons to discover as well as the numerous volcano’s, so I motivate you to do loads of research and create your own favourite to do list when planning a trip to Iceland.
The Norwegian Fjords
And lastly the Norwegian fjords! Norway has much beauty to offer in terms of nature, but their fjords are surely something that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Travelling through the fjords truly makes any human feel humble and will make you realize how majestic and fantastic Mother Nature truly is.
Every fjord in Norway is unique, with its own characteristics and own “personality”, which makes each of them worth visiting! To start with the king of the fjords: The Sognefjord which is the longest fjord in Norway. The Sognefjord is 205 km long, 1300m deep, and has Europeäs largest glacier, the Jostedalsbreen leaning over with its 2000m height. The next fjord, the Nærøyfjord is a branch from the large Sognefjord. It is only 17 km long but due to its narrowness and extremely tall mountains surrounding the fjord, it was added as a UNESCO world heritage site in 2005.
The second longest fjord is the Hardangerfjord which stretches from the Atlantic Ocean, 80 km south of Bergen to the traditional industry town of Odda, 179 km further into the land. One of the most featured fjords in documentaries, series, and movies, is the Geirangerfjord which is another UNESCO world heritage site! And the last one I would recommend is the Trollfjord, a spectacular Arctic fjord located in the beautiful Lofoten Islands. And if you find yourself here in the Lofoten Islands, you might be able to spot some Puffin birds that find their home here.
This list definitely does not cover everything that can be seen and experienced in the Nordics, but it hopefully gives some inspiration for you to start planning your trip up north! If you have any other suggestions on what to do or see in the Nordics, please let me know in the comments!

After sleep, the workplace, whether a traditional 9 to 5 or a flexible and primarily virtual culture, consumes most of the average person's hours. Naturally, this time has a tremendous impact on people's lives. From the relationships formed with managers and coworkers, to the expectations and accomplishments of the role itself, work culture shapes lives. Employees, today more than ever, want more than just a paycheck. They are on the hunt for an organization that provides them with a culture to be proud of, meaningful relationships, impactful work, and an environment that allows them to grow and thrive.
Today, there are many tools that allow talent to analyze an organization beyond their offer sheet. From websites like Glassdoor that score companies to increased transparency of metrics like CEO approval rating, to anonymous reviews, it has never been easier for talent to evaluate an organization for cultural fit. So how can an organization build a desirable culture?
There are many ingredients that go into creating a culture that will truly attract and retain the top talent. Organizations need to take a measured and intentional look into the various dimensions of culture, to identify strengths and weaknesses their culture currently has and come up with a plan of attack to start transforming.
Perhaps the question that comes to mind for many business leaders is this—what am I even trying to create? What cultures attract or drive away employees? Recently, we covered 5 positive cultures that are attracting the best talent and innovating on culture. In this post we will take the inverse approach. Here are 5 examples of cultures that are driving away talent, and if they hit a little too close to home, it may be time to make some changes:
Glassdoor Rating: 2.5
CEO approval Rating: 36%
One of the largest chains of discount retail in the nation, Family Dollar boasts over 8,000 stores in 46 different states. In 2015, Family Dollar was acquired by competitor Dollar Tree and new CEO Gary Philbin was put in place. Unfortunately new leadership has done little to create an attractive work culture with a 36% CEO approval rating and ranking among the worst U.S. companies to work for.
Discount retail is often primarily customer service, and this is many employees favorite part of their work. Employee feedback on the culture centers around the fact that managers are often unqualified, work-life balance is poor, and unrealistic expectations abound. Employees often feel unheard by and disconnected from management, and turnover is high both among leaders and field workers. The lack of a positive culture is reflected in the company’s net promotion scores—more people would steer their friends away from the company than recommend it.
Glassdoor rating: 2.5
CEO approval rating: 51%
One of the largest security solutions providers in the world, with one of the most abysmal ratings from employees in its industry. Employee concerns center around the fact that they are given little opportunity to grow, and that management is chaotic and disorganization is rampant throughout the company, which ends up with employees covering unexpected shifts which sometimes they aren't adequately trained for.
This seems a major disconnect from the company’s stated values of promoting from within and giving people the opportunity to rise to senior level positions. Employees feel largely unvalued by management and the organization as a whole, which is once again reflected in the company's net promoter score.
Glassdoor Rating: 2.9
CEO Approval Rating: 34
GameStop boasts over 5,500 stores in 14 different countries, focused on selling games and gaming platforms, on top of a newsworthy, social media driven stock price explosion that will likely be in an investing textbook at some point. Unfortunately, despite some perks like a monthly free game, the organization has consistently had a strained relationship with its employees.
Employees complain about an outdated business model, unrealistic expectations for stores and associates. Things came to a head during the pandemic as the organization resisted calls from their employees to shut down. Whatever the intentions of the organization, employees perceived it as the company taking advantage of the pandemic and the rise in video game purchases. In some cases employees described the business leaders as abusive during the CEO’s initiative to transform stores into online distribution centers. Unfortunately, intense business periods such as the Black Friday holiday revealed the lack of infrastructure that forced massive workloads onto the employees.
Morale is on the decline in a culture that makes employees feel they have no value to their organization other than creating revenue, and so are their net promoter scores.
Glassdoor Rating: 2.6
CEO Approval Rating: 24%
It is nearly impossible to walk into a local grocery store without running into the Kraft Heinz company products. This food manufacturer is home to some of the most popular brands in U.S..
Kraft, Heinz, Oscar Mayer, Lunchables, Planters Peanuts, the list goes on and on. The company is the result of a 2015 merger, which resulted in substantial layoffs and plant closures.
Among this adversity, complaints about the company culture have become more and more prevalent. The primary cultural complaint centers around respect and care for employees from management. Employees feel that the company only sees them as a means to make profit, and are willing to sacrifice everything from their wellbeing to their work life balance in the pursuit of a healthy bottom line. While the company has pushed back on this perception and claimed they are pushing the company to become more efficient and competitive, they have as of yet failed to convince the people that matter—their employees.
Glassdoor Rating: 3.0
CEO Approval Rating: 33%
LA Fitness formed in 1984 and has risen to prominence in the health club world. Today LA Fitness has over 700 clubs across North America and generated over $900 billion in revenue in 2020. With a mission to drive physical well-being for their members, it is unfortunate that employees feel that their well-being has been ignored.
Between the long hours and low pay, employees indicate complete lack of appreciation from upper management. One employee described their role as “an easy job, but not worth the mental state that it puts you in”. Once again, many of the issues with shifts and work management seem to step from a lack of organization from management. Expectations are high, and accountability is low. On trend with some of the other organizations on this list, employees of LA fitness indicate that a major con of their work was a lack of intentionality when it came to their development, and no real opportunities to advance.
People are an organization's most valuable resource. These 5 cultures have created an environment that not only negatively impacts the lives and productivity of their people, but also turns them from advocates of the business into detractors. They put strain on their employees' lives through mismanagement, they tend to underpay and over expect, and they often fail to listen and connect with their people. Employees have just as much power to turn people away from the company as they do to attract and convince new talent that they should join. Build an environment that empowers employees, gives them a voice, and gives them an abundance of reasons to recommend their company to the next vital hire.

What Are the Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder?
It appears thatthe evidence for a genetic cause of bipolar affective disorder is strongerthan that for depression.
The study focused on families of bipolar patients.
Even with the relatively conservative criteria, conduct disorder occurs in approximately 22% of bipolar children and 18% of bipolar adolescents ( et al., 1995). Conduct disorder, similar to ADHD, may be an initial manifestation of prepubertal-onset BP (, 1997b; , 1995). These comorbid conduct disorders appear related to poor judgment and grandiosity. As an example, a 7-year-old child stole a go-cart, an item that costs several hundred dollars, and was completely unfazed when the police appeared and tried to admonish him, thus demonstrating the grandiosity of stealing such a large object and of being impervious to legal intervention. Conduct disorders during adolescence (which may include driving under the influence, running away for sexual adventures, and stealing large amounts of jewelry) frequently lead to placement of these youngsters in juvenile facilities. Adult antisocial equivalents are well known (e.g., buying new television sets for every room in the hospital; obtaining real estate that the individual cannot afford).
M, Morrell W, Lampert C, Burroughs J (1990), Relapse following discontinuation of lithium maintenance therapy in adolescents with bipolar I illness: a naturalistic study. 147:457-461
What Is the Course of Bipolar Disorder?
Psychosocial interventions commonly used for bipolar disorder are cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, family therapy, and a newer technique, interpersonal and social rhythm therapy. NIMH researchers are studying how these interventions compare to one another when added to medication treatment for bipolar disorder.
As an addition to medication, psychosocial treatments—including certain forms of psychotherapy (or “talk” therapy)—are helpful in providing support, education, and guidance to people with bipolar disorder and their families. Studies have shown that psychosocial interventions can lead to increased mood stability, fewer hospitalizations, and improved functioning in several areas. A licensed psychologist, social worker, or counselor typically provides these therapies and often works together with the psychiatrist to monitor a patient’s progress. The number, frequency, and type of sessions should be based on the treatment needs of each person.
Can Children and Adolescents Have Bipolar Disorder?
U, (1994), Outcomes of unipolar and bipolar depression: Clinical and biological predictors. Presentation at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, October 25-30, 1994, New York

How Is Bipolar Disorder Treated?
Patients with bipolar disorder spend more time depressed than manic.

Another report indicated a gene on chromosome 11 forbipolar disorder may have been detected in one non-Amish family.

How Can Individuals and Families Get Help for Bipolar Disorder
Because bipolar disorder tends to run in families, researchers have been searching for specific genes—the microscopic “building blocks” of DNA inside all cells that influence how the body and mind work and grow—passed down through generations that may increase a person’s chance of developing the illness. But genes are not the whole story. Studies of identical twins, who share all the same genes, indicate that both genes and other factors play a role in bipolar disorder. If bipolar disorder were caused entirely by genes, then the identical twin of someone with the illness would always develop the illness, and research has shown that this is not the case. But if one twin has bipolar disorder, the other twin is more likely to develop the illness than is another sibling.
From the Bp Magazine for Bipolar blog:
In addition, findings from gene research suggest that bipolar disorder, like other mental illnesses, does not occur because of a single gene.7 It appears likely that many different genes act together, and in combination with other factors of the person or the person’s environment, to cause bipolar disorder. Finding these genes, each of which contributes only a small amount toward the vulnerability to bipolar disorder, has been extremely difficult. But scientists expect that the advanced research tools now being used will lead to these discoveries and to new and better treatments for bipolar disorder.
People with bipolar disorder may need help to get help.
Scientists are learning about the possible causes of bipolar disorder through several kinds of studies. Most scientists now agree that there is no single cause for bipolar disorder—rather, many factors act together to produce the illness.
When it is more than bipolar disorder….
There is also certain stereotypes and stigma surrounding bipolardisorder that still persists today, thereby discouraging people who mayhave the illness from seeking a diagnosis and treatment. Many peoplethink that people with bipolar disorder are just crazy; they do notconsider it an illness. This is not the case, in fact many people withbipolar disorder have been some the worlds most talented and famouspeople today and during history. Beethoven, Winston Churchhill, MarkTwain, Marilyn Monroe, Larry King, Billy Joel, Elton John to name a fewnoteworthy individuals. .Nevertheless, there still seems to exist a stigma surrounding bipolardisorder, which may be in large part due to the fact that the media'srole in coverage of bipolar disorder seems to be more negative thenpositive. Whatever, the case the stigma surrounding bipolar disordermust be eliminated.

NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL WEAPONS
October 26, 2011: The last of the large American nuclear weapons, a four ton B53 atomic bomb is being dismantled. With a yield of 9 megatons (of equivalent conventional explosives), the B53 was one of the most powerful nuclear weapons the U.S. ever placed into service. A version of the B53 was used on the Titan II ICBM. The B53 entered service in 1962, and the last fifty (of 340 built) were retired in 1997. It's taken so long to dismantle all of them because it was a large, and complex, weapon. This was compounded by poor documentation, and the fact that the original designers were now dead or too old to remember crucial details needed by those disassembling the weapons.
The B53 was designed in the 1950s and replaced 500 B41s, which had a yield of 25 megatons. The largest nuclear device ever built and tested was the 27 ton Russian AN602, which had a yield of 50 megatons. It was eight meters (26 feet) long and 2.1 meters (6.9 feet) in diameter. Only one of these was built. The Russians followed the Americans in phasing out large yield bombs in favor of smaller, and more numerous ones. This was largely the result of ICBM warheads designed to carry multiple nuclear weapons.
The B53 was 3.8 meters (12.5 feet) long and 1.27 meters (50 inches) in diameter. In effect, the size of a small truck. Air force personnel called the B53 the "last of the big dogs." After the B53, nukes got a lot smaller. Some of those are still in service.
One of the best examples of the next generation of U.S. nuclear bombs was the American B61. About the same shape as a 1,000 pound (455 kg) bomb, many NATO fighter bombers were equipped (with the electronics) to use this bomb during the Cold War (and many can still do so). Some 3,200 B61s were built since it entered service in the late 1960s, and about a third of those remain available for use. Some are to be refurbished, but politicians are still debating doing this just to keep B61s good for another two decades. Without the refurb, all these older warheads will be useless in less than a decade.
In 1997, a bunker buster version of the B61 entered service. This was your basic B61 with a metal penetrator cap at the front end. This kind of B-61 would penetrate several meters of earth before setting off its nuclear warhead (probably 10 kilotons, but could be as high as 340). The basic B61 nuclear bomb weighs 319 kg (700 pound), is 330mm in diameter and 3.9 meters (12.6 feet) long. Most B61 warheads were variable yield, and could be set to provide an explosion ranging from less than a kiloton, to 340 kilotons.
For a long time, many of the "tactical" nukes, like the B61, were deployed close to where the fighting was expected to be. Thus during the early 1970s, the United States had over 7,000 nuclear warheads stored in Europe, most of them 8 inch and 155mm artillery shells. This was in the belief that, if the Russians, and their Warsaw Pact allies, invaded Western Europe, they would do so using these "tactical" (a yield of under 100 kilotons) nuclear weapons. Plans were drawn up to use hundreds of these warheads in battles with the invading Russians. But eventually, it was realized that such use would destroy Western Europe, and probably lead to a full scale nuclear war that would devastate the planet. So, by the end of the Cold War in 1990, there were only about 4,000 U.S. nukes left in Europe. By the end of the 1990s, there were only about 500 left. That number has since declined to less than 200. Most of these were for the use of NATO allies. During the Cold War, European nations were to be provided with American nuclear weapons, in the event of a major war. Most of these agreements are still in effect.
The U.S. Air Force still trains it pilots to use the B61, using dummy 1,000 pound bombs, filled with enough concrete to approximate the weight of a B61. In the case of the bunker buster B61, that would be 546 kg (1,200 pounds). The Department of Defense wants to equip the F-35 to use B61s.

These indicators appear in both reference lists and in-text citation. When your research requires many sources, it is tiresome enough to cite and reference books and academic articles. When it comes to other sources, such as web pages, for example, it gets almost impossible to trace every date. As a result, you are forced to skip some references which may be considered as plagiarism and influence your grade significantly.
The references should always be organized in alphabetical order. This gives an organized look to the essay. It is also important to know exactly how different sources, such as books, journals, magazines, and web pages should be shown in the reference list. As certain requirements differ for each type of source: Title of Periodical, volume number issue number Apa book essay, pages.
Year, Month Date — if availiable. Name of the web-site. APA format headings Readers and writers alike can find headings as a useful tool in writing. Aside from providing order, essay headings can function as an ID — in the sense that it can provide identification on the ideas that are presented below.
Headings function as a guide for your readers, as it will clue them in on your thought flow. The APA style allows five levels of headings when writing.
Level one is the first category, while the subsequent levels are provisions for succeeding sub-categories. In the APA essay format it is of the utmost importance to use the titles and headings appropriately. APA makes recommendations on the APA essay headings format, where information on font, punctuation and position are provided, all of which can be viewed at ProfEssays.
Indented, boldface, only the first word with a capital letter, with a period. Indented, boldface, italicized, only the first word with a capital letter with a period. Indented, italicized, with a period. Only the parts of the main body should have headings!
The essay title should be placed one-third of the page down from the top. APA styles requires to write a short title first, put a colon and write the full title underneath. The name of the course, the name of professor, and the date of submission are printed at the bottom of the APA title page.
Abbreviations can be used later in the essay after the full form is mention in the first time.
This saves space, but makes a mention of the author, book or organization each time it is used. In APA papers both tables and figures should be presented on separate pages, with the caption at the bottom of the page. What to remember with the APA essay writing format The main thrust of documenting guidelines is to avoid plagiarism.
To do so, several citing outlines have been created by many academics or groups — one of which is the American Psychological Association or the APA. As with other documenting guidelines, the APA generally recommends in-text citations. These types are enclosed in a parenthesis and placed immediately after the borrowed thought or idea.
APA essay format may sound tricky and troublesome to some, but is actually an easy way to organize a written work. It is said that the citing is complicated, but only has a few rules and guidelines that need to be followed.The APA Essay Format is a style of writing developed by the American Psychological Association and is generally accepted as one of the standard ways to structure essays and research papers for students in social sciences and business.
You can also use your account for referencing resources in other formatting styles, such as MLA, Turabian, and others, as well as generating the best topics for your essays.
After using our APA citation generator for in-text citations, all you have to do is to insert them in the right place in your text.

GOP Presidential Candidate Herman Cain says that he “resents” when Muslims try to convert other people to Islam. In an interview with Christianity Today, Cain said:
The role of Muslims in American society is for them to be allowed to practice their religion freely, which is part of our First Amendment. The role of Muslims in America is not to convert the rest of us to the Muslim religion. That I resent. Because we are a Judeo-Christian nation, from the fact that 85 percent of us are self-described Christians, or evangelicals, or practicing the Jewish faith. Eighty-five percent. One percent of the practicing religious believers in this country are Muslim.
And so I push back and reject them trying to convert the rest of us…
I find this hilariously ironic, because Mr. Cain is, himself, an associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta. If you look on the front page of the Church’s website it says: “Fellowship. EVANGELISM. Doctrine. Stewardship.” [Emphasis mine].
What is the definition of evangelism?
The preaching or promulgation of the gospel;
In other words, trying to convert other people to the Christian faith. Indeed, that is one of the main missions of Evangelical Christianity. So, according to Mr. Cain, who is considering a run for the Presidency in 2012, Christians can try to convert other people, but Muslims need not apply. In fact, he will “push back and reject” any sort of Muslim evangelizing, because that is “not their role” in American society.
One would scratch their head in utter amazement at the hypocrisy of this man, but when one reads the interview, it is not surprising why he would have such a view. Mr. Cain himself admitted he had little knowledge about Islam, but it did not stop him from making sweeping judgments and stereotypes:
And based upon the little knowledge that I have of the Muslim religion, you know, they have an objective to convert all infidels or kill them.
Well, then, it makes sense that he would “resent” Muslim evangelism. In fact, it is patriotic of him to do so! Of course, Christians have never converted people under threat of death…(cough)…The Inquisition…(cough).
What’s more, he doesn’t even try to hide his bias against Muslims. He recounts his story battling cancer, and he said that when he found out his surgeon’s name was Dr. Abdallah (a presumptive Muslim), he was uncomfortable. When he was told, “Don’t worry, he’s a Christian,” Cain says, “he felt a whole lot better.” Wow.
Apparently, in the eyes of Herman Cain, all Americans are equal:
People use the race card, they use the class warfare card, to divide us. And the biggest challenge we face is for more and more people to be educated and not fall for those tricks and divide this nation. Do people still discriminate in some small ways against certain people because of their color or their religion? Yes. But it is nowhere near where it was 235 years ago.
It seems that Cain is trying to say that a little discrimination is OK.
When it comes to Muslims, some Americans are just more equal than others…
If any Muslim candidate had said this about Jews, his career would be over faster than he could scarf down a halal beef-pretending-to-be-pepperoni pizza. And rightfully so. Yet, Cain says these statements with relative impunity. Contrast this lack of reaction from the public to the hysteria that surrounded Alexandra Wallace, the UCLA girl who ranted against Asians in the library. It’s strange that a random YouTube girl gets her academic career destroyed by such comments, whereas Cain’s political career is not over even though his comments were even more odious than hers…and even though he–unlike Ms. Wallace–never apologized for them. He didn’t need to apologize because the public never demanded him to. Truly, prejudice against Muslims and Arabs is the last socially acceptable form of bigotry in America.

Yesterday was Rick's (30th) Birthday!!! We already did most of our celebrating, but he did get his presents and cards yesterday. I used this week's sketch from Card Patterns for mine:
I bought 5 new colors of Glimmer Mist last week because the local store I go to, Scrapbooks Too, had them buy 2 get 3 free! I decided to use one of my new colors for this layout: Sugar Maple. It is a gorgeous coppery color. I used a mask and sprayed it on the red background cardstock and I also used it to color the key. After the mist dried I went over the key with a gold paint dauber and some dark brown paint.
I am off to Scrapfest for the next 2 days! I am so excited to learn some new stuff, play with new products and just take in all the scrapbooking energy!

They should not make their employees feel bad about their weight because they do not know what people are going through in their personal lives. That is discrimination unless they have a contract. When they told Cassie that she was overweight instead of saying in a rude way that they did; they could have told her that they needed her to lose a few pounds and be healthier. The way they went about it was disrespectful and rude and could have made her feel bad about herself. She could have gone into depression and possible tried to kill herself or anything.
Meaning that yes it is our body but at the same time, it isn’t because it's controversial to what our body should look like. This relates to the “perfect body” because someone who is overweight is criticized as someone who eats unhealthy and doesn’t exercise. As a result, they are put on a label like obese because they see that many people are skinny so they expect or want everyone else to look the same affecting the way they see themselves and making them think maybe I should look that way. Then again, where does our society get these
This is extremely unfair treatment and have set up stereotypes in society.. Where for example if a wealthy person gets into a fight usually they say “well oh boys will be boys”. If we were to see that happen with a poor person specifically from the hood he would then be seen as a “thug”. People in society tend to think that these type of things are okay and they become the norm. These types of things are not okay and makes one realize how important money really is and how much it can contribute to certain situations. Which brings one to think justice is never served because no matter the consequence it 'll never
The older generation of the public, especially older men, may despise her because they are chauvinistic and do not think women should have power. For example, the older generations may be narrow minded and think less of the opposite sex. This may be because in their youth, men would be expected to make important decisions, such as voting and take charge in situations needing leadership or guidance i.e sole bread winner. This could have a negative impact due to some members of society not supporting her
The restaurant Munchy’s is banning students from noon to three and that is unjust to teenagers. Munchy is claiming that teenagers are noisy and will disconcert the adults. The business is banning them to bring more adults in due to the data that said adults provide the maximum amount of the money. Teenagers are angry though and are planning a protest. Munchy has a populous amount of advocates, but however there are an abundant of others who oppose the idea and think it is unjust.
I am interested in Andrew’s comment and I want mention also fatism that it is the concept that is really bothering many people in this world. Many people do not have the ability to lose weight or their complexion look like overweight. We do not know exactly who are really healthy and who are not based of fat people. According to “Contextualizing Fat Shame”: “The overall cultural discourse on the “obesity epidemic” supports their advertising campaign…. (They support) the aesthetic contempt for the fat body…” (p.15).
Telemachus finally admits his irritation with the suitors’ misuse of the hosts’ hospitality “But if you decide it is more profitable and better/ to go on, eating up one man’s livelihood, without payment,/ then spoil my house” (I. 376-382). The suitors are surprised and upset with the disrespectful way Telemachus spoke to them. The suitors, no matter how upsetting their actions, consider themselves guests of Telemachus and his mother, which reveals that some believe even if one breaks the laws of hospitality and extends their stay long beyond their welcome, the host does not hold the right to ask them to leave. Additionally, when Telemachus informs the suitors that if they decide it is better to overextend their hospitality and ruin Telemachus and his mother, he will attempt to shame them.
This is where the cradle- to-grave spectacle of weight fear and discrimination discreetly continues. As Marilyn Wayn points out in her dissertation, Fat Studies: An Invitation to Revolution, “employers frequently turn down promising fat applicants for not fitting the corporate image” (20). Walking inside stores such as Hollister and Forever 21 we can see that this statement reigns true. Almost every single employee at these establishments would be considered skinny, young, and fashionable and somewhat match the ads on the exterior of these stores. Consequently, if we do not match up to these ideals our credentials are placed lower than our physical appearances and weight.
This is a negative stereotype of an Asian American that they encounter in their own country. The article, mention that stereotypes can lead to social categorization, which leads to prejudice attitudes towards a certain race. In this case Asian Americans are seeing as bad drivers due to the shape of their eyes. They are criticized for being intelligent, but still expected to be successful in life. Young Asian Americans are seeing as hard-working, submissive, obedient and uncomplaining.
Eating disorders are very common in teenagers especially girls as popular culture is inclined to portray being thin as how all young girls should be. (mayoclinic 1998-2016) even if they are thin they can still believe they are fat and this can lead to them being obsessed with their weight. Puberty can also be a major problem for teenagers as their body changes and also their hormones are changing all the time. (Girls health may 2014) Intellectual; because Linda is being bullied and told she is fat she has very low self esteem. This can lead to her not wanting to interact with other people her age and spending a lot of time alone this is where councillors can help by talking to her and getting her to talk about her own problems.
Worley states that fat people are often excluded from social events and situations, such as the lead role in a school play and parties. This occurs because people do not want to be around fat people for the fear of embarrassing themselves (163). Psychologically, fat people can be subjected to low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety due to the way people look down on them. In the ignorance of others and pressures of society, beauty is seen in thin and toned bodies (165). Thus, rather than accepting obese people for who they are, people disgrace them in society resulting in negative psychological and social
tereotyped as. She chose the word fat because it is emotional and conveys her message. Worley appeals to her audience when she talks about the actual health risk fat people face. She explains that fat people have to struggle with people criticizing their grocery carts, judging them for what they put on their plate, and sneering at them in public. Overweight people feel uncomfortable wearing clothing items such as shorts or sleeveless t-shirts or swimsuits because they are afraid people may judge them.
When she talks about an ad that has two men sitting on the table and drinking saying to your health. That kind of ideas have a wrong delivered message to people for example, drinking is good for your health, but it’s wrong because it has side effects. And that’s also in fast food products; it is not good for our health. Most of the fast food restaurant used preservatives to make the sandwich to make it last for another day. And that’s not healthy because it causes heart diseases and many side effects on the stomach.
She asserts, “Most casual observers of plus-size models would probably not even perceive them as ‘plus-size,’ let alone fat”(Czerniawski, 2015, p. 29). However, sometimes society’s views of fat are negative. Being fat is often times considered as being lazy, and lacking
After this event she learned that not everything is as it seems. Also Josie is jealous of all of the other students because they have what Josie does not have and that is wealth.

Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Patient Care
Medicine has made significant but incomplete progress in understanding its lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients and colleagues. In 1986, homosexuality-based diagnoses were removed from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Today, the profession has a Gay and Lesbian Medical Association, supports repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, and endorses equal hospital visitation and surrogate decision-making rights for LGBT partners. Still, as this month’s authors assert, physicians must develop greater comfort in discussing sexuality and greater competence in caring for members of LGBT communities.
The revisions balance a growing understanding of gender identity disorders and societal views with the need to retain conditions that benefit from intervention and the removal of which would hamper patients’ ability to receive medical treatment.

Did you know that most BCAAs in the market are made from human hair, duck feathers and animal hair!
What! Are you trying to tell me that my pre-workout supplement, the one I chugged this morning before the gym, was derived from hair clippings and feathers?
The answer is most likely, yes.
The use of these materials in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) has been hidden by the supplement industry for a long time. Why have they been keeping it a secret from you all of this time? It’s all about pounds and pennies. Most people view duck feathers, animal skin and human hair as byproducts, and would usually send them straight to the dump. However, some companies in the supplement industry seem to think it’s more important to make some raw materials from them! Hundreds of years ago, healers and doctors discovered that these materials are naturally high in keratin. Keratin, in the simplest form, is a fibrous protein and is responsible for our hair and skin sticking together and not just falling apart. Keratin is essentially pure protein. By using certain acids and solvents, you can easily yield proteins and amino acids from keratin.
Fear not, though. There are a few companies out there that offer a more eco friendly however more costly alternative – fermented vegan BCAAs. These are usually derived mainly from corn. The high demand for BCAAs has caused manufacturers to streamline their process over the last few years, which has made this alternative much more appealing as costs have gone down greatly. In the past, they were about 4 times more expensive than traditional Chinese BCAAs.
So who cares? I love some hair and feathers in my shakes….
Ultimately the choice is yours, but at PharmaFitness, the little things always matter. Besides the fact that the raw materials used to make these free-form amino acids are so much more sustainable than human or animal skin/hair/feathers, the process is also much gentler, because the harsh chemicals used to treat skin-related keratin aren’t used. We also feel that fermented vegan BCAAs, although they do have a slightly more sour taste than regular aminos, for our vegan/vegetarian customers, the choice is clear.
It’s your only body…take care of what you put in it!

Professional fitting by a Certified Master Builder & Fitter
Full Fitting - we block out 2 hours for this process. We anaylze every aspect of your swing in addition to the feel and even the appearance of the club. Top of the line simulator allows us to analyze all the data points to make sure we get the right club in your hand.
We can fit you for a brand new complete driver, or just change out the components. You may love the head, but the shaft needs to be changed. We do it all here.
Do you have a toe hang or face balance putter? What's right for you? Is the loft/lie angle correct? We do a full putter fitting and we make any adjustments on the spot. We have the only loft/lie machine in East Texas specifically made for putters.
Love the heads your playing but need new shafts? Maybe due to age, injury or wanting to switch from steel to graphite. Schedule a shaft fitting so we can determine your perfect fit.
Once you build a basic reliable swing with your instructor, it’s a good idea to get fit for at least a few golf clubs. Most golfers don’t realize that up to 50% of errant shots can be due to equipment that’s just not right for you. That can be very frustrating for new players.
We offer lessons but it is not necessary prior to a club fitting. Our custom fitting process is ‘developmental.’ That means we don’t fit to swing flaws. We recommend equipment combinations that help you evolve toward the swing goals.
There are definitely aspects of hitting balls outdoors that are closer to playing conditions than indoors. However, we love indoor fittings because it removes wind and weather from the equation for a few hours. This allows you to contrast and compare equipment combinations in a vacuum for maximum confidence in your results.
Your new golf clubs are built to your exact specifications right here on site. It’s the only way to guarantee complete success for you. And, when you pick up your clubs you’ll have the opportunity to hit each one to make sure the new fit and feel is right on the money.
Some golfers have recently purchased new equipment. In most cases, errant shots or lack of distance are due to the shaft NOT being the correct profile for the player. Our shaft fitting process will discover your optimum shaft profile and allow you to retro-fit to your existing heads.
The short answer is no. I will analyze your metrics on the simulator and give you an honest recommendation. Maybe what's in your bag is just right for, or could use a little adjustment. Or starting over with a custom made set for you is the best option. With a full custom build, I make sure all aspects of the club are made for you.

Migration poses a significant and worsening public health problem. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and the global population continues to expand, rates of both within-country and international migration are rising. Migrants tend to experience differential risks for chronic disease, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases [1&ndash7]. Differential health outcomes in international migrants are not limited to migrants from developing to developed countries migrants from one developed country to another with regional differences in chronic disease risk may be impacted, as well.

Cortlynn Stark, The Black Bear – Missouri State University students and Springfield residents marched downtown last night, taking a stand against discriminatory practices at Zan, a popular nightclub.
The protest was organized by Missouri State senior, Dylyn Florence, after he witnessed his friends being discriminated against twice.
Originally, only Florence and three of his friends were going to protest. Florence then created an event on Facebook called “Bears say NO to Zan” to promote it.
“Just start inviting people just start telling people,” Florence told his friends. “We’re going to protest because enough is enough.”
The crowd first started massing around 10:30 p.m. Thursday night on the northwest corner of the Park Central Square square. By 11 p.m. nearly 60 people had arrived.
At 11:25 p.m., the crowd silently marched from the town square to stand on the sidewalk and street outside Zan while carrying signs calling for change.
When they arrived, a police officer requested the protesters to stand on the sidewalk as much as possible so they did not block traffic. The protesters peacefully obliged, moving onto the sidewalk and leaving the street mostly clear.
For 15 minutes, the protesters silently stood in front of Zan. Their signs said things like “what’s the dress code? #Discrimination,” or “stop the discrimination.”
However, the protest did nothing to ebb the flow of people going to the club. People of both races were let inside.
As the night went on, one Caucasian man was turned away claiming “they didn’t let me in because I agreed with you guys.” He then asked for a sign so he could join the protest.
The general manager of Zan, Ryan Warren, came outside at one point during the protest. Florence said he overheard Warren saying to one of his bouncers something vulgar about the protesters and went back inside the club.
Management never responded to The Black Bear with a statement on the protest.
At 11:45 p.m., the protesters left, except for nine people who continued to stand silently in front of Zan.
Zan has been accused by several people as being discriminatory towards African Americans. This story is an ongoing investigation.

Having released a solo album, Down There, in 2010, Animal Collective guitarist Avey Tare has decided to go down the indie supergroup route for the follow-up, recruiting Dirty Projectors' bass player and Dan Deacon's drummer. The results are passable enough, leftfield indie. Indeed, throughout the album you're rarely more than six seconds from something that sounds like an offcut from MGMT's Oracular Spectacular, only all too often shorn of the chart-bothering hooks. There are occasional sparks of brilliance, notably Duplex Trip's lolloping melody and Little Fang's disco inflections. But the heights reached by the band members' day jobs are never scaled.
