...Minnesota State Arts Board, which is a state agency that simulates and encourages the creation, performance, and appreciation of arts in the state. We also have Partners in Arts Participation, which is a pilot grant program designed to broaden opportunities for Minnesotans to participate in the arts. Another program we have is called K-12 Arts Challenge Minnesota Grant, which is a noncompetitive grant program and funds are given out first come first serve. I do feel that we have enough support in Minnesota. The programs I named were just a few of the many programs we have to support art in the cities. I do however think people here need to be more supportive of children in arts. It is important to get them started at a young age and many people do not feel that art is important. I think it helps to expand a child’s way of thinking and it helps them to excel in other areas, because they know if something doesn’t work one way it’s time to take a new approach. My role in the creation and support of art in my community is very small and could get better. I do however start with my son, just like my parents did as well as my in-laws, at a very young age. I like to take him to the different places and help him to explore many of the opportunities we have in the state. It is important to me that I give him all the opportunities that I possibly can and let him experience art and life they way he should,...

Purpose and rationale First, empirical evidence in the research stream of work engagement in the tourism and hospitality literature is meager. Second, in contradistinction to other researches our research focused on develoving sub-Saharan African countries, Nigeria not Western countries Third, our study findings ( such as employee retention) can be useful for managers in the hotel industry. Theoretical foundations, hypotheses, and research model * Backround * Work overload to be positively related to hotel managers’ burnout ( Perrewe,1991). Female middle managers in the hotel industry are suspectible to higher levels of burnout than male managers (Buick and Thomas 2001) * Salanova et al.

...family has been supportive of me since birth. As a child I was raised by a single mother along with my older brother and my two older sisters. Although things were difficult at times, my family always cared for me and consistently supported me as I grew older and developed in life. My family has supported me throughout my years of school and studies. They have always encouraged me to do the best I can and to always put as much effort into something as I can.

Growing up as the youngest, I was surrounded with support and encouragement from my older siblings. My older sisters spent quality time with me and always swore to protect me.

...environment; therefore they should not be subject to prejudicial treatment or discrimination from their peers and anyone supporting them. An individual’s background, upbringing and experiences can have an effect on attitudes towards individuals and groups, so it is important to recognise these. Personal prejudices, which may lead to discriminatory practice, can be overcome through developing a greater understanding of diverse groups in society. For example, teaching assistants can overcome these personal prejudices by finding out about the religious beliefs and cultures of the children they support, and by knowing about any special educational needs or disabilities. It is important not to make assumptions about children and young people. Finding out about their backgrounds, interests, abilities and individual needs will help teaching assistants to provide more effective, appropriate and personalised support. It is important that in order to develop children’s self confidence, a concerted effort is made by all those in a position of responsibility to include the pupil. This ranges from making necessary adaptations to facilities for the physically impaired to ensuring that no pupil is subject to discrimination either direct (such as name calling) or indirect (not taking their needs or preferences into account). This unit has afforded me the opportunity to continually promote equality and diversity in my role and that every child should be supported in learning in an inclusive...
