I call these people my heroes.” (Click for Slide, Don’t read it) According to urbanlegens.about.com, It was Fred Rogers’ grandfather, Fred Brooks McFeely, who first said, “You’ve made this day a special day by just you being you, Freddy, and I like you just the way you are.” (Click for Slide- picture of him as a child) Born in 1928 and growing up a chubby, shy, and lonely boy in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, young Fred cherished his acceptance from his grandfather, who helped give him confidence by allowing him to grow. An only child until the age of 11, Fred often expressed himself through his fingers- by making up stories with hand puppets and pounding out emotions on the piano. (Click for Slide- picture of him in college age) As a music major in his final year of college preparing to go into the ministry, he returned home for Easter vacation and encountered his first television set. He was disgusted that this amazing new invention was being wasted on the nationwide broadcasting of people putting pies in each other’s faces. Right then and there he changed his plans and decided to work with television instead to make something better of it. His family was against it but Fred was determined.

...Many people believe that the number 13 is an unlucky number but the space program didn’t depend on luck. There were many American astronauts that went to the moon in Apollo 11 and 12. The mission began on April 11, 1997 Apollo 13 lifted off at 2:13pm from the launch pad in Cape Kennedy in Florida. It was an hour earlier at mission control in Houston (Cole 5). Lovell and Haise were supposed to land on the moon in an area named the Fra Mauro uplands. The Fra Mauro uplands were the site of a huge meteor crater near the moons equator. They were trying to see if that meteor millions of years ago had blew samples out of the moons insides. They wanted to get samples of the moon. Earth’s orbit had to put on a route to make it to the moon in three days (Cole 6-8). For the next two days the flight was going along very well then suddenly they heard a very loud bang on the spacecraft. The oxygen in the tanks was also used to react with hydrogen in the ships fuel cells. The energy produced by this chemical reaction within the fuel cells which provided all the electrical power in the craft 2 out of 3 fuel cells had shutdown. Mission control was working on the plan to get them down safely (Cole 10-12). Mission control realized that there must be oxygen leaving from the spacecraft. This escaping gas was causing enough power to push Apollo 13 off the route. Engineers began calculating course correction that would have been made later...

...The Fiedler Model of Leadership Fred Edward Fiedler (born July 13, 1922) is one of the leading researchers in industrial and organizational psychology of the 20th century. He was business and management psychologist at the University of Washington.He helped this field move from the research on traits and personal characteristics of leaders, to leadership styles and behaviours. In 1967 he introduced the contingency modeling of leadership, with the now-famous Fiedler Contingency Model. Identifying leadership style: Fiedler believes that a key factor in leadership success is the individual basic leadership style.He created the least preferred co-worker (LPC) questionnaire to identify that style by measuring whether a person is task or relationship oriented. The LPC scale asks a leader to think of all the people with whom they have ever worked and then describe the person with whom they have worked least well, using a series of bipolar scales of 1 to 8, such as the following: Inefficient | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | Efficient | Uncooperative | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | Cooperative | Hostile | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | Supportive | Unpleasant | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | Pleasant | Guarded | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | Open | | | | ….. | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | ….. | Unfriendly | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | Friendly | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A high LPC score suggests that the...

The Kroger Company, which operates 2500 supermarkets in 32 states, had acquired the Ralphs’ chain of supermarkets when they bought Fred Meyer Inc. in 1998. On April 5th, 2002, The Kroger Company- with a well known written policy forbidding sexual harassment and zero tolerance for sexual harassment since the 1980s-was asked to pay compensatory and punitive damages totaling $30.6 million for the sexual harassment case against Roger Misiolek, a Ralphs’ employee.

...American style of Foxtrot The American style of Foxtrot is known as the first truly American ballroom dance. “It takes on a much more “theatrical” quality than its international counterpart” It is one of the easiest dance, and it has been the first dance taught by many studios. It features open work, under-arm turns and open extended lines, where the international style requires partners to be closed to each other all the time. The American style also requires the dancers to keep open work and under-arm turns while lifting their bodies vertically. The competitive American style is different than the social one described previously. It requires dancers to have faster movements, which is similar to Quickstep. According to the online research, there are at least 20 studios/clubs that teach the American style Foxtrot in Canada. For example, * Fred Astaire Dance Studios * Toronto Dance * Cuesteps Round Dance Club * Memorial University of Newfoundland Ballroom and Latin Dance Club * Arthur Murray Dance Studios * Shall We Dance Choreographed Ballroom Dance Club * Doremi In addition to these studios and clubs, people with interest in learning the American style can also go to the following websites to either purchase the video lessons, or learn about the dance online or setup private lessons with instructors. For example, * www.ballroomdancers.om * www.ilovetodance.ca * www.youtube.com * www.thedancestoreonline.com * www.amazon.com ...

...What does the start of your day look like? Do you come to the office, sit down at your desk, and have no idea where to begin? Or perhaps you simply grab the first to-do on the top of the pile, regardless of its urgency or importance? Neither is a particularly effective way to get the day rolling. Investing just a few minutes to plan your daily schedule – reviewing your meetings and appointments, figuring out which tasks are your top priorities, and actually plugging them into your calendar so you know the important chores aren’t going to fall through the cracks – makes all the difference in how much you have accomplished come the close of business. Start with Something Big Many people waste the first hour or two of their day on “busy work” (checking email, surfing the web, opening mail, etc.) instead of creating a daily schedule. It’s easy for these kinds of “easy” to activities suck up your time, leaving you feeling as though you’ve wasted the entire morning. Pick one big task to tackle as soon as you get to the office. It should be something that you've been procrastinating on, that has an approaching deadline, or that has simply been hanging over your head. Get it out of the way first thing, before you do anything else and even if you don’t accomplish anything else, you will still have had a productive day!

...though a lot of people do not like him, he still manages to succeed with or without the support of others. I do not always agree with everything he has to say but I respect him because of his lack of political correctness. Some characteristics I love about Mr. Trump are his willing to learn from his mistakes, his “can do it” attitude he doesn’t take no lightly, and his ability to work under pressure. Questions I would love to ask Mr. Donald Trump is how much he makes a week? What are some investments does he have? What is his net worth in a year? What is the biggest threat in your company? And why are you running for president this year of all years? When it comes to Mr. Trump some people call him cut throat with the way he speaks to people, and though I might not agree on all of the comments he makes, I do respect him because he tells it how it is. He is not afraid to take a risk on anything not only when it comes to business, but politics as well. His constant risk taking is what got him to the success he has today. Of course it started out with the inheritance of his father’s money Fred Trump, which got him started. Donald Trump is a real estate businessman billionaire. He...

...Michelle Thomas Faith & Culture THEO 2600-01 Professor Darren Gordon 9 April 2014 FAITH & CULTURE REFLECTION PAPER Westboro Baptist Church The title of the Westboro Baptist Church is misleading. At one point, this congregation was a new church plant for the East Side Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, but shortly after opening across town, the leader, Fred Phelps cut ties with the original church. As of this writing, the term “Baptist” is just part of the name of the church and there are no Baptist churches that have any affiliation with Westboro; there is no denomination affiliation to be found. There are two basic guidelines that the church follows, the first one is that God hates everyone not associated with the WBC and anyone that they name is going to hell. They vehemently disapprove of anyone who is or supports anyone who is homosexual. In fact, it is their belief that soldier deaths and all natural disaster deaths are a punishment from God for supporting or even appearing to support homosexual behavior in any way. In their eyes if you do not condemn an individual or group for even being non-committal in their opinion on homosexuality that individual or group will go to hell. Hate of anything associated with the lifestyle of homosexuals seems to be what their foundation is made of. This malfunctioning group spreads their message of hate through websites and picketing. The many places they choose to picket vary from Armed Forces funerals, Churches...

...Timeline ART/101 August 12, 2012 1. Metropolis (1927). The film created by Fritz Lang is set in the future which has two separate classes of people the thinkers and the workers. The film describes the struggles of each as the workers are depicted as human cattle being assigned to complete mundane tasks in an underground machine that can be related to the Bull of the Sun or Moloch the God Balaal from Carthaginian culture. The workers live above in a ever evolving world that is testament to mans achievements. The opposites rely on each other as the city could not function without the workers and without the thinkers creating an utopia they workers would not be needed. 2. Top Hat (1935). The film by Mark Sandrich and starring Fred Astaire was about an American dancer who goes to London to star in a show. Dancer played by Astaire meets and attempts to impress the woman in the hotel room below his. The film is sometimes called a glorified remake of The Gay Divorcee (1934). This was the fourth film by Astaire and lead lady Ginger Rogers and was specifically written for both parties to play their respective parts. Though the movie had a simple plot the dances helped to naturally develop the plot. 3. The Big Sleep (1946). The film by Howard Hawks is the first film version of the novel by the same name. The films plot is somewhat hazy as it revolves around a wealthy general who wants to resolve the gambling debts of his daughter. The film is best known for the convoluted...

...Laramie Project is a play written by Moises Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project. The play is based on the interviews of the citizens of Laramie about what’s happening in Laramie and their responses to the murder of Matthew. In addition to the various themes suggested by the play, the author wanted to present the varying perspectives toward homosexuality in the Laramie community at the time of Matthew’s death. The author also wanted to explore how these perspectives may have changed as the result of Matthew’s death. Even though the citizens of Laramie persisted that hate is not a value they practice, they still showed contrasting and puzzled views towards homosexuality. Some of the citizens of Laramie, together with Reverend Fred Phelps and his people, displayed extreme hatred towards homosexuals. Reverend Phelps and his people gave an emphasis that Matthew Shepard deserved to die, for he was a sinner and a disgrace to God. They displayed placards with the picture of Matthew burning in the eternal flames of hell. Reverend Phelps says, “If God doesn’t hate fags, why does he put’ em in hell?” (79). Reverend Phelps wanted to tell every member and supporter of the LGBT community that God hates them. The undeniable proof of God’s hate to them was how he didn’t welcome Matthew into heaven and sent him to hell instead. Doug Laws, together with other citizens, showed dislike toward homosexuality. Doug says, “A family is defined as one woman and one man and one child. That’s...

...Coates lives with his mother and little brother, Arliss, in the hill country of Texas during the 1860s when his father must leave home to work on a cattle drive. He leaves Travis to “act a man’s part” and take care of the family. While working in a cornfield one day, Travis come across Old Yeller and tries to drive him away, but his younger brother, Arliss likes Old Yeller and stands up for him to Travis. When Old Yeller saves Arliss from a black bear, he wins the affection of the family, especially Travis with whom he forms a strong bond. Later on, the family notices signs of rabies in their cow, Spot. As a precaution, Old Yeller must be put in a pen as a precaution in case he develops any signs of rabies. By this time, the reader (or moviegoer) has formed such a strong bond with Old Yeller, that, when Old Yeller does get rabies, Travis is forced to shoot him to end his suffering and learns firsthand one of the most difficult virtues of true manhood-- sacrifice. Keywords: bond, manhood, family, love, sacrifice. Most people remember Old Yeller as a boy-and-his-dog story, including me when I sat down to watch the movie with my 5-year-old son. Since we both love dogs, and he was a boy, I thought it would keep him occupied for a couple of hours. I mean, it was a Disney movie, how much of an impact could it have? While I intended to get some work done around the house, I found myself caught up in the movie and wound up...

...Significant Legal Decisions Involving Hate Speech in America What exactly is Hate Speech? There are many different variations to this answer. According to dictionary.com, it is “speech that attacks a person or group on the basis of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation” (“hate speech”). Anthony Lewis’ description of hate speech focuses more on the people it aims at: “Hate speech, it is called: virulent attack on Jews, blacks, Muslims, homosexuals, or members of any other group. It is pure hatred, not based on any wrong done by an individual” (157) Throughout history, many cases involving hate speech have been brought to court; each of them differ in their own ways and each brought a significant change to our Constitution. Our country prides itself in having freedom for all, and that includes freedom of speech. But when does freedom of speech cross the line? Many court decisions tried to come up with a solid answer, but there may not ever be a successful way to categorize hate speech. All of the cases covered here played a large part in transforming what the First Amendment covers. America started to recognize the significance of hate speech beginning in 1940, and policies began to form to protect offensive speech. At this point in history, hate speech was better known as “racial and religious propaganda” (Walker 62). The Holocaust was a major turning point for America, because we realized the destruction that it caused, and the government wanted to make sure nothing...
