First Post: Sharing some Motivational Stories

In between working in developing several websites for our small IT/ company and writing online essays in order to market those said websites and scripts, I blundered across a nice peace of story. Now I'm more of a half-empty gal rather than a half-full. And I chose this particular story because it really has a nice ring to it. It Couldn't Be Done Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn't, but he wo… Continue

You Are What You Drink

So you are probably wondering…..do the beverages I drink really make that much of a difference? They are only liquids, right? Liquids “go right through me” so how much of an ill effect can they have? You have probably heard the old saying “You are what you eat?” Well, it is true, but “You are what you drink” also! Beverage Guidance Panel The Beverage Guidance Panel is a group of nutrition experts from the United States, which formed several years ago. The purpose of this group was to review t… Continue

Powerful Woman Doña Marina

Prior to learning of doña Marina bilingualism, Cortés had given her to one of his lieutenants, Alonso Hernández de Puertocarrero. When Cortés soon took her back as his interpreter, he gave Puertocarrero another Indian woman in her place and shortly afterward sent him to Spain with a shipment of treasure for the Spanish king. That three years passed and the work of the Conquest was completed before doña Marina gave birth to a child suggests that Cortés not only guarded her from sexual contact wit… Continue

Doña Marina and Cortés

Doña Marina's utility to Cortés was her multilingualism. When given to him, she spoke both Nahuatl, the language of the Mexica and many other peoples of central Mexico, and Maya, the language of the peoples of the Yucatán Peninsula. Moreover, she knew the conventions of a register of Nahuatl called tecpillatolli (lordly speech), a difficult and indirect rhetorical style used among the Nahuatl-speaking elite. Need research p… Continue

Doña Marina

Cortés mentions doña Marina just twice in his reports to Spain and only once by name. Her presence and services are acknowledged, however, in the biography written decades after the Conquest by López de Gómara, who — not having been present himself — apparently relied principally on Cortés for information. In a yet later account of the Conquest, Bernal Díaz del Castillo, who had been present, gave her a heroic central role. Other references to doña Marina's part in the Conquest are to be found i… Continue

Twentieth-Century Trends

Each of the world wars has been examined intensively from highly specialized social, economic and political viewpoints, but the immediate environmental effects—like the infinitely more elusive impacts on environmental ideas and attitudes—have been relatively neglected. Other major events and trends of the first half of the twentieth century are chronologically less discrete and their environmental history is generally better understood, yet in terms of their penetrating international influences… Continue

Utilitarian Anthropocentric Management Strategies

From the United States to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Russian empire and the infant Soviet Union, utilitarian anthropocentric management strategies were aimed at maximizing or sustaining resource yields. The hints about ecological integrities and broadranging ethical rights were only accepted as promising seeds by a few enthusiastic activists. Foremost amongst these was American poet-scientistphilosopher John Muir, who championed the cause of wilderness conservation and questioned the au… Continue

The Term ‘Ecology’

The term ‘ecology’ was not then current, but the idea of comprehensive holism in Nature had been common enough in religious and scientific quarters since the seventeenth century. Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus published a treatise entitled The Oeconomy of Nature in 1749 and that phrase seems the most likely precursor of ‘ecology’. Certainly it was cited in late eighteenthand early nineteenth-century appeals for the protection of rare species whose place in the ‘oeconomy’ had not been determ… Continue

Man and Nature

Familiar with the lessons of land degradation in the ancient Mediterranean world, Marsh was also well versed in the classical literature on society-Nature relationships and had witnessed the searching impacts of deforestation in his native state of Vermont. Accordingly, Man and Nature drew on field and historical evidence from both hemispheres, supplemented by the author’s correspondence with selected European technocrats. In lively and accessible language Marsh demonstrated that the world was b… Continue

Pace and Complexity of Change in the Nineteenth Century

The pace and complexity of change in the nineteenth century were nowhere better seen than in the rising scale of environmental abuse. Wildlife was hunted to extinction in some African regions, and overgrazing and soil exhaustion seemed incumbent ingredients of the empirical testing favoured by pioneers in Australia.

Attacking Perinthus

By attacking Perinthus on the Sea of Marmara and Byzantium on the Bosphorus, Philip had threatened the Athenian grain route. The Athenians, spurred on by the agitations of Demosthenes, were finally roused into action. They sent aid to the besieged cities and frustrated Philip's efforts there. The Athenians were eventually able to win Thebes over to their cause, but when the decisive battle came at Chaeronea in 338 the Macedonians were victorious. No surviving, ancient author tells us whether Pt… Continue

Ptolemy in Macedonia

Ptolemy was often rumored to be the illegitimate son of Philip II. His mother Arsinoe was probably the king's cousin, and it is entirely possible that her marriage to Lagus was a marriage of convenience, since Lagus seems to have been from a relatively obscure family. The Suda preserves the legend that Lagus, angry over the child's paternity, exposed him. Ptolemy then, according to this story, would have died had he not been saved by an eagle. On the other hand, it is possible that Ptolemy, or… Continue

Ptolemy

Ptolemy, son of Lagus, seems to have been the first of Alexander's successors to understand that the empire would not last as an entity and could not be governed by one man. He alone of the major figures in the first years after Alexander's death seems to have intuitively grasped the idea that this vast creation of the charismatic general would splinter into smaller kingdoms. He chose Egypt as his personal satrapy and never gave way to the temptation to risk his hold on Egypt for a larger share… Continue

In the Shadow of Alexander

When Alexander the Great died in 323, Ptolemy, one of his field marshals, was about 44 years old. His impact upon the world at this time could hardly be described as profound. He had lived most of his life in the shadow of his great contemporary. Ptolemy could not have been expected to do otherwise. While Alexander was alive, Ptolemy and all his fellow generals could only play their supporting roles in the revolution that was changing the face, not only of Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, b… Continue

Wellness Trainings

Law enforcement personnel are generally less comfortable with solutions that may appear contrary to the stereotypical picture of a good officer (strong, controlled, macho, etc.). Consequently, the recommended techniques and skills must be acceptable methods for obtaining the identified goal. Law enforcement personnel are legendary for their suppression of affect, their emphasis on mental and physical toughness, and their tendency to minimize or deny vulnerability. Trainings are more effective wi… Continue

Special Considerations in Conducting Wellness Trainings

Departmental Support. There are several special issues that must be taken into consideration when developing any kind of training for law enforcement personnel. As discussed earlier, the first consideration in planning wellness trainings is being able to justify such trainings to the management of the agency involved. Do you need advice with admission essays? Trainings that are voluntary and involve personnel duri… Continue

Definition and Rationale

Wellness training includes any training that focuses on the peace officer as a person. The goal of this kind of training is assisting the peace officer toward improving his or her lifestyle through learning new, health-enhancing behaviors and ideas. Wellness training is based on the concept that how an individual manages his or her life, and the accompanying inherent stressors, will have a significant impact on job performance. Large corporations have already recognized the connection between l… Continue

Psychologists and Law Enforcement Personnel

Over the last 10 years, both psychologists and law enforcement personnel have had opportunities to alter stereotypical views. But one of the aftereffects of the mutual distrust that has existed in the past has been lack of familiarity and knowledge about the opposite field. Most psychologists do not have a clear conception of what a peace officer does or what it is like to be a peace officer. Rely on our Premium cus… Continue
