Student Scenes
*Update:  Hope everyone of the East Coast of the United States is okay.  I just felt a tremor from the 5.8 earthquake here in Boston.

===================

On August 21st I celebrated my 58th birthday, and received birthday greetings by phone and online  from friends and colleagues around the world.  In the spirit of this month's back to school theme, and as a special birthday gift to my readers, I want to share 25 ways to help make this school year the very best for students all over the world.


1.  Believe in yourself.  You have the talent to achieve.

2.  Listen to your parents. They know more that you think.

3.  Find an older student you can respect and  look up to.

4.  Find the ONE teacher who believes in you. Stick by him/her all year long.

5.  Cut the TV off, find new discipline, and finish your homework.

6.  Live by the wisdom of your grandparents. They know what their talking about.

7.  Not all teachers support your dreams. Respect them all, but share your dreams carefully.

8.  Not all friends support your dreams.  Share your dreams carefully.

9.  American students have much to learn from other students around the world.

10. Students from other countries can learn from American students.

11.  Watch all that junk food you eat. Start eating healthy “brain” food instead.

12.  Ugly ethnic jokes hurt other classmates. Put yourself in their shoes.

13.  Watch your anger. Getting angry at your teachers can lower your grade.

14.  You earn your grades. Grades are not given to you. (Source: my daughter Michelle)

15.  Be your teacher’s friend…not their enemy. (Source: my daughter Michelle)

16. Be on time for school each day. (Source: my timely daughter Michelle)

17.  Get enough rest each night.(Source: my daughter Michelle)

18. Fall in love with READING.(Source: my daughter Michelle)

19. Stay away from DRUGS.

20. Stay away from ALCOHOL

21. Know who your true friends are and help other students. (Source: my daughter Michelle)

22.  You will have many years for a meaningful sexual experience. Save it for later.

23.  Prayer and meditation DO work. Use them often.

24.  Be your own best friend. If you don’t like yourself, who will?

25.  Discover the wonders of a good education. It will take you far in life.

Everywhere you turn in this society, people are under stress. Unchecked stress will interfere with your health, your job, and your family. And stress contributes to unnecessary deaths every year.

Now there is a book detailing 15 ways to reduce the stress in your life.  Stress Express by Snowden McFall will detail ways to de-stress you life from managing your anger to taking afternoon naps (what a great idea).


Tip From Snowden's New Book:

Consider Naps
Naps of half an hour or less do not interfere with sleep patterns, and they can restore clarity, alertness and memory.

When Handling Anger:

When you are really upset or angry, remove yourself from the situation, calm down, go to a quiet place and reflect on what you really want from the situation. Chances are good, it's not to be in conflict.

Snowden McFall, professional speaker, trainer, and author, is the owner of Brightwork Advertising & Training and  Fired Up.  A business expert who speaks on motivation, , stress management, and optimism, Snowden has authored and co-authored 5 books, including  Fired Up!, which has now sold over 63,000 copies. Her latest book is Stress Express! 15 Instant Stress Relievers.  Snowden has been speaking for 20 years and has addressed several thousand professionals all over the U.S

As co- founder of  the non-profit group “Success for Women Entrepreneurs” in NH, Snowden's volunteer work led to national media attention. The Small Business Administration named her National Women in Business Advocate of the Year which led to a White House ceremony & Congressional luncheon in her honor.

An Insider's Perspective: The Riots in Britain Part Two By Garth Dallas BSc, MSc, MBA, LLM

Guest Blogger Garth Dallas
Liverpool, England


David Cameron, British Flag, 2011 British Riots
PART TWO

I have had a working relationship with Garth Dallas for nearly two years, thanks to technology and the marvels of Google and social networking.  So when the riots broke out nearly three weeks ago in Britain, Garth, who lives and works in Liverpool, was there to give an accurate perspective on what was really going on in England.

I lived through the 1967 riots in Detroit, Michigan and vividly remember how afraid my family was with the possibility of losing our house to fire.  So I can only imagine the fear some residents are experiencing with this recent outbreak in England.


Here is Part Two of this important "insider's perspective" on what's really going on in Britain.

-Carole


==========

The Oldham Riots

Around 572 race-related crimes were recorded in 2000 in the town of Oldham, home to a strong South Asian population. While racial violence was not uncommon, May 26, 2001, marked a particularly deadly day of protests, spurred by a small quarrel between young White and Asian men outside of chip shop. A series of small attacks followed, many at the hands of White youth, and in the matter of hours, an army of 500 Asian men were confronted by riot police, dogs and helicopters in the streets of Oldham. Upwards of 300 people were injured, and hundreds arrested.

Tony Blair blamed White extremists for instigating violence in Oldham, but insisted that young Asians should refrain from participating in racially driven conflict.


Following the Oldham violence, similar protests broke out in Bradford and Leeds.

Now in 2011 England seems to be suffering from a deadly case of deja vu, or perhaps, a wake up call. As politicians and the police struggle to restore order, and begin to digest the devastation, the underlying causes of the riots must be addressed, or these won’t be the last riots to rip apart the streets and hearts of Britain. 

It is clear that the causes of the recent riots are vastly different to those in 1981 – which were predominantly associated with young black men, in particular, feeling victimised by the use of the “Sus” law, which enabled police officers to stop and search members of the public even if they had no hard evidence that a crime had been committed.


In the clamour by politicians, media and police alike to dismiss what happened this week as the acts of “mindless thugs”, it is worth keeping in mind that riots don’t tend to happen without a reason. The tragic loss of Mark Duggan’s life requires a thorough investigation from the relevant authorities. But we must also go beyond the initial spark, and try to learn more about the relationship between the police and the community, and the ways in which this can be improved.


Whilst nothing can excuse or justify the behaviour of rioters, it is very clear to me that the reasons for the widespread riots are rather complex. However, it is also indisputable that inequalities in our society have played a key role. There were many commentators warning of possible disturbances in Britain, due to the widening gap between the haves and have-nots in our society that glorifies celebrity and deprive others from becoming stakeholders. 

 
Too many of our young people feel they have no stake in society. Indeed some young people see the choice of joining gangs as their only means of ‘belonging’ and being ‘protected’. It was quite remarkable to me that many of the rioters and looters showed very little fear of the police. They simply did not care. 


Disadvantaged young people are at risk of becoming ever more marginalised from society. Alongside the growing gap between affluent and less affluent communities, the gap between disadvantaged young people and their more affluent peers is also growing. Many of these young people face multiple challenges – they are disengaged from the labour market and education.


We need to address those issues as a matter of urgency. A stake in society requires rungs on the ladder that are in reach; not so far-fetched that opportunities appear impossible.


Britain must deal with the deeper issues of inequality that scar our society or history will continue to repeat itself, manifested by further disturbances on our streets.

Here is Part One of this important "insider's perspective" on what's really going on in Britain.

======

Only last month (July) I was heavily involved in commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Toxteth Riots of 1981 which represented a significant moment in Liverpool’s history: petrol bomb attacks, milk-floats driven at the police, the burning and looting of shops, the first use of CS gas on mainland Britain, the running down by a police vehicle of a disabled youth were just some of the incidents. I didn’t experience the 1981 riots because I was still living in Jamaica at that time and was graduating High School when the riots erupted in Liverpool. Indeed, I returned to Jamaica in July to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our graduation and came back to England on the very same day that the 2011 Tottenham riots started – August 6th 2011.

 Masked youth wandered the streets armed with Molotov cocktails, families flee as their homes erupt in flames, medics tend to the bloodied and bruised as armoured vehicles patrol the streets - a scene fit for a war zone. The world has been captivated by the scenes emerging from London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool during the 7 days of rioting that rocked Britain while the British public has searched for explanations for what set off this wave of anarchy. 

  The spark in Tottenham was the killing of 29-year-old Mark Duggan on the evening of August 4th by police officers who stopped a minicab carrying him near Tottenham Hale Tube station to carry out a pre-planned arrest. Shots were fired, according to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, leading to Duggan’s death at the scene.

But shocking as the violence has been, this isn’t the first time England has been paralysed by riots - history seems to be repeating itself with terrifying accuracy.

 St. Paul’s Riot

In April of 1980, the Black and White Café, a famous drug den in Bristol, was raided by officers. High unemployment, poor living conditions and a general feeling of discrimination by the police force proved a deadly combination as over a hundred youth battled with officers, destroying police cars and fire trucks as well as local buildings.

In total twenty-five people were hospitalised, including 19 officers, and 130 were arrested. While the numbers were relatively low compared to later riots, St. Paul’s would be seen as a turning point.

1981 Summer Riots

The “Sus” law - short for suspected person - was a police method that allowed individuals to be stopped and searched without just cause, generating a harsh division between the police and minority communities in the late 1970s and early 1980s. April marked the introduction of a new tactic, called Operation Swamp, where police patrolled the streets in large groups, arresting thousands of suspected criminals in order to slash the crime rate. 

On the evening of April 10 in Brixton (London), as officers led a young black man suffering from stab wounds to a police car to take him to a hospital, he broke free, fearing he was actually being arrested. A crowd began to form around the scene, throwing bottles and bricks at the policemen. As the night went on, rumours spread like wildfire throughout Brixton that the injured man had actually been stabbed by the White officers.

Operation Swamp searches ensued and when officers attempt to search a man suspected of carrying drugs, a full-fledged riot broke with Molotov cocktails being thrown for the first time on the mainland in British history. Hundreds of homes and buildings were looted and torched. 300 officers were injured, along with 60 civilians. Riots spread to areas of Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool in the later months.

 In Toxteth in Liverpool, for example, unrest was triggered in 1981 after police pursued a man they wrongly suspected had stolen a motorbike, and then arrested a nearby person for assault when he attempted to intervene. The unrest led to 450 police officers being injured and 70 buildings being demolished.

Broadwater Farm

On October 5, 1985, police raided the home of Cynthia Jarrett, a woman of African-Caribbean descent whose son had just been arrested. She lived on the Broadwater Farm estate, a dense housing unit in Tottenham, once known as one of the worst places to live in England. As police searched the woman’s house, she collapsed and died of a heart attack, prompting public outcry in the community. Cynthia Jarrett’s daughter reported that police officers pushed her mother to the ground. The following day, relatives led a peaceful protest to the police station in Tottenham, but the peace didn’t last long.

Hundreds of people began to riot, angered not only by Cynthia Jarrett’s death, but also the police shooting of an innocent Jamaican woman at her home in South London a week earlier, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. A string of looting, violence against journalists and armed confrontations with police ended with the brutal death of police constable, Keith Blakelock, who was stabbed 42 times as rioters tried to decapitate him with machetes. For months after the incident, hundreds of people were arrested and interrogated.

10 Ways To Become An Informed, Empowered Citizen: Part One

0 Comments

Map Of The United States
by Carole Copeland Thomas, MBA

This is written for an American audience; however, I know that many friends and colleagues around the world read my newsletter and visit my website. So feel free to adapt these tips to conform with your province, region, or country.

1.  Visit Washington DC.
Every American should visit our nation’s capital at least once in your life to see where our  President lives and where Congress makes our laws. All of the Smithsonian Museums are FREE of charge in Washington, so put them at the top of your list.  You have to make a reservation to go on the White House Tour, but you can go to the Senate and House of Representative buildings at anytime free of charge. The NEW Martin Luther King Memorial will be dedicated on August 28th, commemorating the 48th Anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington.
For more information, visit www.washington.org.

2. Visit Your Congressional Offices
All 435 US Congressional Representatives have an office in Washington DC AND offices in their local districts.  My congressman is Barney Frank, and I have visited and met with him in his Washington DC office and his office in Taunton, Massachusetts. The same is true for all 100 US Senators.  Go to either www.senate.gov or www.house.gov to find out who your congressional representative is.  It is best to meet with your congressional representative or senator in your home district. 


In Washington the House of Representatives Buildings include:
--Cannon House Office Building
--Longworth House Office Building
--Rayburn House Office Building

The Senate Buildings include:
--Hart Senate Office Building
--Dirksen Senate Office Building
--Russell Senate Office Building


3.  Visit Your State Capital
This should be an easy one for you. Especially is you live in your state capital, like Boston, Massachusetts. It’s FREE to visit your state capital and most offer tours at certain tines of the day.  I am a member of a public service sorority, Delta Sigma Theta (www.deltasigmatheta.org). As part of our Social Action Agenda we plan a State House event every year around the United States called “Delta Day at the State House” (DDSH), that is open to the general public. We usually select a state related topic, like redistricting, tour the capital, and invite our legislators to address our audience at a two hour program we hold in a reserved room at the capital. (Our Annual Nation’s Capital Legislative Conference is only open to members.)


Whether you are an individual, a family, or a group, visiting your state capital is a must for an informed, empowered citizen. Every state has their own website and pertinent information on state, city, and town issues.  Google your state’s website and explore its resources.  Most state capitals have a bookstore or some resources center where you can purchase items related to your state affairs.  I enjoy browsing the documents, photos, and historical guidebooks on Massachusetts when I visit my state capital bookstore.  I encourage you to visit your state capital in the coming year.

4.  Visit Your Governor, State Representatives And Senators
When you visit your state capital, don’t forget to stop in the office of your governor and state legislators.  When we hold DDSH (see #3) we always plan visits to our respective legislators’ offices. You don’t have to make an appointment. You can stop in, speak to a staff member, leave your name and number, and schedule a future meeting with either a staff member, representative and/or senator.  You can also sit in on a legislative session, hearing or other meeting, depending on when your state’s legislators are in session.

It may be a bit more difficult to have a one-to-one meeting with your governor. However, when he/she attends events around your state, plan to attend and ask a pertinent question (about bridges, roads, housing, education, budgets, etc) during the session.  You can follow up with the designated staff member attending the event with the governor. They never travel to events alone.

Google your state house for more information on contacting your representative or senator.  Some state legislators meet at designated times of the year, per their Constitution. The Texas Legislature meets in regular session on the second Tuesday in January of each odd-numbered year. The Texas Constitution limits the regular session to 140 calendar days.

Others meet at selected times of the year. (Massachusetts State Legislature is called the General Court.) The Massachusetts Legislature has a two year cycle. The current cycle runs from January 2011 to July 2012. (The Massachusetts legislators are elected every two years. Currently informal sessions are being held at the State House throughout the summer months. I called Governor Patrick’s office and then my own Senator Rodrigues’ office to find this out.)  The times your state legislature meets depends on your state constitution.


Call your governor’s office to learn more.  You also have a better chance of connecting with your legislator at some event in your state (like a public hearing). Walk up to your legislator, introduce yourself, and ask when you can visit his/her office and talk more about your respective issue.

5.  Visit The United Nations in New York City
At least once in your life you should visit the United Nations. It’s located in New York City, and much of the building is FREE and open to the public. There’s tight security, so plan your timing accordingly.  It might take you 15 minutes to go through security.
The WORLD visits the United Nations every day!  The entire world!  Forget all of the naysayers who trash the value of the UN, you should plan a visit at some point in your life.  There are world exhibits, sessions that you can observe, tours (with a small charge), conferences and events held in the building. I have spoken at the UN as part of conferences, attended luncheons and other events, and find the environment fascinating.

Every world event from hunger, to civil wars are discussed, evaluated and negotiated in the United Nations buildings.  Many many school groups visit the building, and it’s fun seeing young people exchange ideas and information at the UN.  There is a cafeteria in the building and an extensive bookstore and gift shop.  You can reach the building using public transportation.  Take your camera and video camera and snap those photos wherever you can.  Stop and meet a visitor dressed in their native outfit and learn more about their country. Plan to stay for a half day or a full day. It’s a big complex and will take some time to get through the public parts.

For more information visit www.un.org.

Will The Real Leader Please Stand Up: Urgent Call To President Obama To LEAD America To Economic Stability

8 Comments

“Yes I am a big Obama fan. But now our country needs our President to LEAD the country out of this fiscal mess we're in. His message today was not forceful enough. Did nothing to build confidence in the investors. He MUST put forth a BOLD plan that will create JOBS and put Americans BACK TO WORK. That's the only way to resolve this dilemma.”

Those were my words on my Facebook page yesterday after listening to President Obama’s mid afternoon message to the American people.  Less than two hours later the US Stock exchange closed down more than 600 points. Not many people were inspired by the President’s message.

And I have continued to exchange several spirited postings from my Facebook friends, both progressive AND conservative since yesterday’s posting. My perspective has not changed:

President Obama must LEAD our country out of this economic crisis.

He must deploy a bold and decisive PLAN that will create JOBS for our unemployed citizens.

He must use his leadership skills to help orchestrate a more action-oriented Congress and move them toward more effective legislation instead of the ongoing political/partisan grandstanding.

Leadership is simply the mechanism of galvanizing groups/people/organizations when the doors of opportunities come calling.  In the good times, it’s easy to do because conflict and condemnation are at a minimum. 
It’s much harder to take on a leadership role when the economy is tanking, uncertainty is expanding, and jobs creation is at a minimum.  Yet taking on a firm leadership role during tough times defines a person...or a President as a true leader.

I want President Obama to become that strong, action oriented leader and stop identifying his role as a mediator.
America does not need President Obama to mediate.

America needs President Obama to lead!

The world needs President Obama to lead!

This is not a popularity contest. We already know that the some in the Tea Party members are out to destroy the Obama presidency. In fact they wouldn’t mind taking the country down with President Obama, too. I just watched a small Wisconsin video clip where cheers went up when the Standard and Poors downgrade was announced. So we’ve already established that there is a percentage of our society that will never accept President Obama or his administration.

That doesn’t mean that Obama is off the hook from leading the rest of us. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and those who may never cast a ballot. It’s called leadership in a bold and courageous way that visualizes and articulates the longterm possibilities of our country. Leadership that ignores the naysayers and creates a swift and actionable PLAN that creates JOBS for the unemployed, the underemployed and those who gave up on employment some years ago. 

Leadership is taking action when Congress lets us all down and leaves us uninspired. Leadership is facing the twin barrel of poverty, unemployment, economic uncertainty, and domestic instability and marches forward in the face of disagreement. 

That’s the leader I voted for.  That’s the leader I want in President Obama. That’s the leader I believe we need for America, right now, this month, this season.

I know that I am probably saying what many of you cannot say. Your jobs, your careers, your funding keeps you silent.  And I also know that some of my conservative subscribers completely disagree with my perspective. I am enjoying my debate with them on Facebook, and I welcome ALL opinions on the comments section below.

One of the greatest leaders of our time, Dr. Martin Luther King, said it this way:

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

We are in those times of challenge and controversy right now! It is time for President Obama to STAND, to LEAD, and to ACT. His choice of governance will take us to a future of stability or a future of turmoil.

I am betting on the former...that President Obama will STAND, LEAD and ACT.

VocationVacations mentors provide one- to- three day, hands-on, career immersion experiences in more than 180 vocation types (everything from A to Y, actor to yoga
studio owner, and everything in between.  We’re working on the Z!) and are committed to sharing their knowledge and experience with individuals who dream of
walking in their shoes.  They provide vocationers the opportunity to look before they leap. 


Since VocationVacations began in 2004, its mentor pool has grown from an initial group of ten in Oregon to hundreds across 30 states and continues to grow monthly.

The concept for VocationVacations was born on Chicago's Kennedy Expressway in 1999 during one of Brian Kurth's long, daily commutes to his corporate job. Numb from a lack of passion for what he did for a living and staring at brake lights, he wondered what it would be like to work in the wine business or become a tour guide or a dog trainer.

Brian wanted to explore his dream jobs through a company that offered short-term “internships” to working adults while on vacation.  After doing some research, Brian realized such a company did not exist.  A business idea was born. 

If you are thinkig about a career change but don't know how to get started, this show will help you determine the course of action that's right for you.

Discovering The World Through the U.S. Census Bureau

The Global Marketplace

In the diversity workshops I conduct throughout the country I often test the knowledge of my participants by asking them to tell me how many people live in our world.  Since most don’t know, they’re amazed to find out there are over 6.9 billion men, women, and children in our global village.  China is the most populous country with 1.3 billion people, followed closely by India with 1.2 billion. And how many people live in the United States? More than 311 million, only five percent of the world’s population.
Do you have the capacity to wrap your heart, soul, and mind around the world of nearly 7 billion? Or are you like so many, focusing only on the handful of faces that you know in your circle of friends, family and coworkers?
I encourage you to stretch your mind, expand your horizons, and reach out to the faces of people in distant lands unknown.

Get The Census Facts


The best website to acquaint yourself with the current population numbers is the U.S. Census Bureau, www.census.gov.  That website will give you statistical information on every hamlet in America. On its home page you’ll find a running population clock, updated daily that will help you keep track of total population numbers for the country and the world.
To find out the latest U.S. and world population numbers, log onto the Census Bureau website, www.census.gov.  A few minutes on this site will educate you about the latest statistical analysis compiled from the 2010 census.You can find national data and statistical  information for your own hometown.
I encourage you to visit the Census website at your earliest opportunity.  You can discover data that may prove useful for an upcoming project, class assignment, or work-related task.
All of the Census Bureau information including video clips, photos, and graphic images are FREE of charge.
Create a census game with your family, friends, and colleagues. Offer a prize to the first person who correctly tells you how many people live in the world.  Empower yourself with new knowledge, and share your wisdom wherever you go.
