When one is in America, say a super market and certain things happen… and you write about it and someone immediately attacks and denies… as if it’s not possible.

Also what I found…

I had written an item about something and mentioned Keisha was at the front desk. A black American woman instantly attacked me saying that Black women wouldn’t be at the front desk of a 5 Star Hotel.

Duh

I think that racism means that Belief in the superiority of one race over another; discrimination against an individual or group of people, based on racial background, usually colour.

Main causes of racism
Children get prejudice from their parents and peer groups. Racism is learned. We are not born with it.
Ignorance and Fear: People fear things they do not know much about, e.g. coming into contact with people who have different customs, language or appearance, they might express their anxiety through racism.

Bullying: People make themselves feel better by picking on a person or group they feel are weaker than them. Sometimes, we all want to feel we belong to an “in group” and “hate” those not in “our group”.
Poverty and unemployment: Racism can form in areas of poverty or unemployment. People look for someone to blame: “Pakistanis are buying our corner shops, foreigners scrounge our benefits!”

minorities are often given poorer housing, inferior education, not given a job or promotion. Many cities have ‘ghettoes’ where the majority of residents are ethnic minorities with poor living conditions and high unemployment. Recently the police was found to be guilty of institutional racism.

The Stephen Lawrence case saw five white youths get away with the murder of a black boy because of the way the police handled the case. Other countries have seen the worst sort of racial violence, with millions of people killed in genocide (an attempt to wipe out a whole race of people), particularly in Rwanda and Bosnia but also in other racially-motivated disputes around the world.

The problem is when people don’t see their prejudice.

Yes, holiday package must be chosen carefully and after too much tinkling, Planning a holiday trip is easy but implementing that plan is not that easy. While planning a trip one has to keep in mind a lot of things and has to put a lot of effort to ensure an enjoyable holiday.

Money is certainly the biggest factor. When you are taking your family on a trip you can’t hold them back all the time when they want to buy something, eat something and go places. But you can’t allow them to make nonsense spending as well.

You can’t force them to compromise with comfort and convenience while staying in hotels but you can’t afford to book five star hotels every venue as well. So what’s the way of ensuring a memorable holiday without putting too stress on the pocket. Well the answer is holiday packages.

The biggest advantage is cost saving. If you try to book everything, starting from airfare to hotel room on your own, you will surely end up spending unnecessarily. If you add the individual costs, the amount will be quite high, but if you choose a holiday package the total amount, which would include cost of everything, would be far lesser

By choosing a holiday package, you actually get rid of all activities, starting from booking flight tickets, checking out accommodation availability at hotels and booking rooms

Holiday packages are designed specially to cover all major spots in a place so that customers get best value for their money.

Companies that offer tour packages are completely aware of situations in a particular place, the risks and the safe zones and hence you can enjoy a safe holiday.

I agree with you. When we go on a conducted tour the agent’s guide is with us and that is a nice feeling of safety

Indeed, package holidays are the way to go and can benefit in making us more planned in our Holidays.

I always go for self planned holidays, not packaged ones. The packaged holidays are for tourists not for travelers 🙂

The self planned holidays gives me a lot flexibility to avoid crowd, get economic travel tickets and lodging. Most importantly you can plan your way , destinations of your choice. This is possible with so much of travel reviews and experiences available on the internet, travel sites, apps etc.

We must add fish to our diet. We have fourteen meals per week, and two out of fourteen meals must have fish. In my opinion, ignoring fish meet is not a better idea.

We must eat sea foods to make our health better but a few people know the importance of fish in eating. Omega-3 fatty acids have all sorts of benefits for your body and brain.

Many mainstream health organizations recommend a minimum of 250-500 mg of omega-3 per day for healthy adults (1, 2, 3).

You can get high amounts of omega-3 fats from fatty fish, algae and several high-fat plant foods.

Here is a list of 12 foods that are very high in omega-3.

Mackerel are small, fatty fish.

In Western countries, they are commonly smoked and eaten as whole fillets at breakfast.

They are incredibly rich in nutrients, and a 3.5 oz (100 g) piece of mackerel provides 200% of the RDI for vitamin B12 and 100% for selenium (4).

On top of that, these fish are quite tasty yet require almost no preparation.

Omega-3 content: 4107 mg in one piece, or 5134 mg per 100 grams (3.5 oz).

Cod liver oil is more of a supplement than a food.

As the name implies, it is oil that is extracted from the livers of cod fish.

Not only is this oil high in omega-3 fatty acids, it is also loaded with vitamin D (338% of the RDI) and vitamin A (270% of the RDI) (11).

Taking just a single tablespoon of cod liver oil therefore more than satisfies your need for three incredibly important nutrients.

However, definitely don’t take more than a tablespoon, because too much vitamin A can be harmful.

Omega-3 content: 2664 mg in a single tablespoon.

Herring is a medium-sized oily fish. It is often cold-smoked or precooked, and then sold as a canned snack.

Smoked herring is a popular breakfast food in countries like England, where it is served with eggs and called kippers.

A standard smoked fillet contains almost 100% of the RDI for vitamin D and selenium, and 50% of the RDI for B12 (12).

Omega-3 content: 3181 mg per fillet, or 1729 mg per 100 grams (3.5 oz).

WOW! I am amazed at your praise of this man and I have a totally different point of view. I was not impressed with his visionary leadership at all and didn’t think he was all that extraordinary. That’s not to say he did not do anything good FOR THE PEOPLE! He did some good thing. But on his report card for an overall grade he gets a “D” in my book. Yep. He just barely passed.

I will say one thing though. When it came to building a good relationship with Cuba, America dropped the ball. Kennedy and/or his foreign policy advisors or both missed a golden opportunity. The island of Cuba is a pearl in the Caribbean! We could have had a mutually beneficial relationship and I don’t blame Castro that it did not work out. America was the bigger country and had a significant place on the world stage. America should have stepped up to the plate and came up with a way to make the relationship work!

Nevertheless, Obama tried to make a change for the better. Let’s hope the President Elect follows through and does make things better. I went to school with Cubans and there is a lot the people and culture have to offer. I don’t see any reason why the two countries can’t get along. The USA screwed up 50 years ago. We should try again and get it right time time!

good article about cuban hero..

Yes, if you have a tamed pet it brings joys for the owner in the real sense because pets are just like child if you tame them with your own hands. People really and truly love their dogs. Some people even treat these little fur balls as though they are children.

Recently, there’s been a debate in our house about whether to get a dog. There are many things to think about, especially being an entrepreneur and seemingly always on the go. However, many of my entrepreneur friends have dogs and have encouraged me to consider it.

excitement and sheer glee are contagious. As an entrepreneur, enveloping yourself in those emotions reinforces that it is okay to be passionate and celebrate life and people along the way. Even better, treat or no treat, your dog is that cheerleader who is going to love you no matter what you can or cannot do with your startup at that moment.

If you have a dog, cat, bird, hamster, bunny, gerbil, mouse, snake, turtle, lizard, or any kind of fish, then you should check us out. We’re convenient to most communities west of Boston and try to make sure that you can get what you need when you need it. We enjoy visits from any pet and hope you will join yours sometime soon.

Do you have a place where you keep pets? That is what I understood by reading your comment.

That is quite a number 🙂 We had a few earlier but now Preiti is getting all the attention. There are stray cats that we feed.

I have beautiful place in my house for pets because I love my pets as flying pigeons and parrots and partridges. I like them most. Everyone knows that kids love animals. A quick safari through your child’s bedroom will remind you just how densely imaginary critters populate the storybooks, movies, music, toys, decor, and clothes of childhood.

In real life, the amount of money we spend on our pets has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, rising to more than $38 billion, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association.

While book groups are the rage among her mother’s friends, Natalie has her own reading tribe: We often find her curled up in her bed or lying in a den of blankets in a quiet nook of the house, reading to one or more of her cats. She pets them as she reads, stops to show them pictures and ask them questions. She even reassures them during scary parts of the story.

According to a study by Dennis Ownby, MD, a pediatrician and head of the allergy and immunology department of the Medical College of Georgia, in Augusta, having multiple pets actually decreases a child’s risk of developing certain allergies. His research tracked a group of 474 babies from birth to about age 7. He found that the children who were exposed to two or more dogs or cats as babies were less than half as likely to develop common allergies as kids who had no pets in the home.

Children who had animals had fewer positive skin tests to indoor allergens — like pet and dust-mite allergens — and also to outdoor allergens such as ragweed and grass. Other studies have suggested that an early exposure to pets may decrease a child’s risk of developing asthma.

My boss used to say that a holiday or a picnic is essential to loosen up. That is a way to get one renewed energy.

Yes. It was a shock when one day I realized that one of our presidents did not know how to use a word processor. Imagine that. It was a joy when one of my friends told me his kids gave him the Bible in a digital format as a gift. He was an elder in the church. I thought to myself: Does he know how to use it?? If you can write with a pencil, you can use a computer. Although … when it comes to cell phones, iPhones, etc. … I ask my kids to make the phone calls for me. If they are not around I might even ask my grandchild to help me out. 🙂 Hey! My husband is much worse. We could never get him to check his eMails. We gave up! 🙂

By the 1970s, with the development of the Internet by the United States Department of Defense and the subsequent adoption of personal computers a decade later, the Information or Digital Revolution was underway.

More technological changes, such as the development of fiber optic cables and faster microprocessors, accelerated the transmission and processing of information. The World Wide Web, used initially by companies as an electronic billboard for their products and services, morphed into an interactive consumer exchange for goods and information.

Electronic mail (email ), which permitted near-instant exchange of information, was widely adopted as the primary platform for workplace and personal communications. The digitization of information has had a profound impact on traditional media businesses, such as book publishing, the music industry and more recently the major television and cable networks.

As information is increasingly described in digital form, businesses across many industries have sharpened their focus on how to capitalize on the Information Age.

It is your idea that every bird is welcomed except the kite why kite is also a beautiful bird looks good while flying and preying. But I think that The lilting Swallow-tailed Kite has been called “the coolest bird on the planet.” With its deeply forked tail and bold black-and-white plumage, it is unmistakable in the summer skies above swamps of the Southeast.

Flying with barely a wingbeat and maneuvering with twists of its incredible tail, it chases dragonflies or plucks frogs, lizards, snakes, and nestling birds from tree branches. After rearing its young in a treetop nest, the kite migrates to wintering grounds in South America.

Swallow-tailed Kites are large but slender and buoyant raptors. They have long, narrow, pointed wings, slim bodies, and a very long, deeply forked tail. The bill is small and sharply hooked.

These birds are creatures of the air, spending most of their day aloft and rarely flapping their wings. They tend to circle fairly low over trees as they hunt for small animals in the branches. At times they soar very high in the sky, almost at the limits of vision. During migration they may form large flocks.

Look for Swallow-tailed Kites over swamps, marshes, and large rivers of the southeastern U.S., particularly in Florida. At the end of summer, all the Swallow-tailed Kites in the U.S. leave and migrate south to South America.

It is a very nice article providing memorable guides and charm of your visit of Germany and the description of cuckoo clock is fascination for me and first time I hear this word in my life.

I think that A cuckoo clock is a typically pendulum-regulated clock that strikes the hours with a sound like a common cuckoo’s call and has an automaton cuckoo bird that moves with each note. Some move their wings, open/close the beak while leaning forward, whereas others only the bird’s body is leaned forward.

Nowadays cuckoo clocks are manufactured inspired by contemporary decorative styles as well. These modern timekeepers are characterized by its functional, schematic and minimalist aesthetic.

Rombach und Haas became the first Black Forest clock manufacturer which introduced this new generation of timepieces in 2006, producing a model conceived by Tobias Reischle.

Then in 2008 they started its own creations, thanks to the initiative of both Conny Haas and the company’s general manager Ingolf Haas. Their range includes minimalist, industrial, and naturalist designs, as well as intricate fretwork and hand-painted pieces.
