All the points in this documentary that he addressed are situations that I and people close to mehave experienced. I came to the same conclusions he did in his documentary without ever having watched it or knowing anything about him. Then I watched this and realized, guess I'm not the only one who thinks like this. For that reason alone, I trust him and I think he's credible.
Families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings
Millions of unemployed, underemployed, fed-up and freaked-out citizens should watch this movie Michael explain it all or at least crack jokes, while giving credible information. He had our emotion going on an up and down roller coaster which kept his audience engaged.
I could tell that his heart is in the right place, he also makes room for other voices, that was good because it makes us see that he has people that are in high position that are with him. The workers and members of one family in foreclosure who videotaped the police breaking down the door to evict them were moving.
I liked when he showed the official video of President Franklin D. Roosevelt giving his speech for how he wants to see America even though he was sick, it showed that he cared and wanted to be personable with his people.Even though it didn’t happen he gave us an example of what it would have been like if it had happen because another country did it and things are going well.
I liked that he Portrayed Barrack Obama as a Socialist.
I was so sad to see the families being foreclosed on leaving the only thing the know and to add insult to injury the banks paid the family to clean their home before leaving. It was funny when the husband that was being foreclosed sarcastically thanked the Banks for paying off them to leave their homes clean.
So swimsuit season is coming up, and you know what that
means… it’s time to crunch down on our diets!! While doing research I realized
is that it’s not what you eat it’s how much of it you eat. Eating in smaller
quantity really helps.
Whatch this video it will give you some information on what Super foods are
There are a few super foods for weight loss that are
recommended by Health Magazine. Super foods have a really high nutrient density
which means that tons of nutrients are crammed into that particular food,
Nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins which the
body needs to survive.
Superfoods build bones, prevent chronic diseases, improve
your eyesight, and even keep your mind sharp. New evidence suggests these foods
can also help you get and stay slim.
Black beans
A cup of black beans packs a whopping 15 grams of satisfying
protein and doesn't contain any of the saturated fat found in other protein
sources, like red meat.
Oats
Oats are rich in fiber, so a serving can help you feel full
throughout the day. Just a half cup packs 4.6 grams of Resistant Starch, a
healthy carb that boosts metabolism and burns fat.
Avocados
There's no reason to be afraid of eating fats as long as
they're the right fats.
Oleic acid, a compound in avocados' healthy monounsaturated
fats (MUFAs), may trigger your body to actually quiet hunger. Stick to a
quarter or a half of an avocado and watch that belly fat melt away. The creamy
fruit is also packed with fiber and protein.
Salmon
Lean sources of protein help you feel full without adding
fat. However, 50% of women ages 18 to 50 don't know if they get enough of this
essential nutrient.
Up your intake with salmon; it's a leaner choice than red
meat and is chock-full of MUFAs to boot. A 2001 study found that dieters eating
a MUFA-rich diet lost an average of 9 pounds, while their low-fat diet
counterparts gained, on average, 6.
Blueberries
Best known for their anti-aging effects, blueberries, while
tiny, are a powerful figure-friendly eat: A 1-cup serving sets you back only 80
calories, and helps you feel full with 4 grams of fiber.
Broccoli
Cooked or raw, this cruciferous veggie is well-known for its
cancer-preventing powers, but with a punch of filling fiber in less than 30
calories a serving, it's bound to prevent weight problems too.
Brown rice
Brown rice is a heartier, fiber-packed alternative to
less-than-super white rice. A half-cup serving contains 1.7 grams of Resistant
Starch, a healthy carb that boosts metabolism and burns fat.
Plus, brown rice is a low-energy-density food, meaning it's
heavy and filling but low in calories. One study found that women who ate a
higher-energy-density diet gained three times as much weight over six years
than women eating a low-energy-density diet
Grapefruit
Even if you changed nothing else about your diet, eating
half a grapefruit before each meal may help you lose up to a pound a week!
A compound in the tangy fruit can lower insulin, a
fat-storage hormone, and that can lead to weight loss. It's also a good source
of protein, and because it's at least 90% water, it can fill you up so you eat
less.
Oranges
At only 59 calories, you may not expect much from an orange,
but thanks to a hefty dose of fiber, it ranks highest among fruits on a list of
38 filling foods put together by Australian researchers. Feeling full can help
you eat less throughout the day.
Green tea
This steamy sip hydrates like water, which can help fill you
up and shed pounds. Plus, the antioxidants in green tea will up your fat burn
and calorie burn. One study found that five cups a day could help you lose
twice as much weight, most of it around your middle.
Wine
Resveratrol, the famed antioxidant found in grape skin,
stops fat storage. Studies show that moderate wine drinkers have narrower
waists and less belly fat than liquor drinkers. Downing a glass can boost your
calorie burn for a good 90 minutes.
Plantains
A half cup of cooked plantains packs almost 3 grams of
Resistant Starch, a healthy carb that boosts metabolism and burns fats
Low-fat milk
The same fatty acid is found in milk, and milk's proteins
can keep you feeling satisfied. The added calcium may also help; in one study,
women burned more fat and calories when they had 1,000 to 1,400 milligrams of
calcium per day
Cheese
Fresh goat cheese and feta contain a fatty acid that helps
you feel full and burn more fat. Look for cheeses labeled
"grass-fed," as those will have the highest content of this healthy
fat.
Potatoes
True, potatoes are high in carbs, but they are three times
as filling as a slice of white bread, and top all the foods on the same satiety
index as oranges. Plus, potatoes are also rich in Resistant Starch, which helps
your body burn fat.
Dark chocolate
Chocolate lovers, rejoice! A nibble of dark chocolate here
and there can slow down digestion so you feel full longer and eat less at your
next meal.
Dark chocolate is full of MUFAs; studies show eating a diet
high in these healthy fats can rev your metabolism to burn fat and calories. It
may also help by curbing cravings for salt, sweet, or fatty diet-wreckers.
Eggs
Eggs get a bad rap when it comes to weight loss. But the
breakfast staple is loaded with protein that will curb your appetite. One study
found that overweight women who ate egg breakfasts lost twice as much weight as
women who started their days with bagels.
And don't worry about cholesterol: The study found that egg
eaters don't have higher bad cholesterol or lower good cholesterol than bagel
eaters.
Bananas
Bananas are a slimming superfood at the heart of Health's
CarbLovers Diet. A slightly green, medium-size banana will fill you up and
boost your metabolism with its 12.5 grams of Resistant Starch. Even a ripe
banana still ranks high on the list of foods containing RS, with almost 5
grams.
Kidney beans
One of several varieties of beans to make the list, red
beans offer protein and fiber (more than 5 grams per serving!). Kidney beans
are also rich in Resistant Starch; a 1/2-cup serving packs nearly 2 grams of
this slimming carb.
Almonds
Nuts are another superfood rich in healthy fats that help
you slim down.
Almonds in particular can help you shed pounds: In one
study, people who added a daily helping of the nuts to a low-cal diet lost more
weight than people who followed the same diet but swapped almonds for a
carb-heavy snack like crackers.
I have done an accelerated program at
Arizona College for my Associates of science a year ago and so I know first had
what’s its like, so when I was reading the Arizona Republic news I knew what it
was like to be in that program first hand.
The norm for every college and
University is that they have what's called the 15 week semester courses. The 15
week is a result of professors instructing at a normal pace where everyone
actually seems to be following along at a steady pace. Arizona State University
(ASU) is developing what's called the 7 1/2 week semester course, where classes
are being taught in a faster pace (AZ college call it accelerated). They make
it so that students can graduate faster which makes the tuition cost less. ASU
plans to help students to want to continue their education with less hassle and
take less time to do it which means that they won’t have time to idle away from
school.
My opinion about this 7 and a 1/2 week
semester course tuition rate change is not going to be significant enough to
speak because the prices won’t be changing drastically. But it is going to persuade
more students to enroll into the university because they see that there's a
program that goes much faster than having to attend university for 4 years. I
will make the dropout rate decrease seeing that the time will fly by faster and
it won’t be so tedious and drawn out.
My personal experience with the accelerated
program is that it is hard and you have to be dedicated at all times, you have to
have a good support system because if your life is chaotic you will crumble. It
is a lot of pressure so you need to have a drive to succeed and keep your
motivation in your thoughts at all time. I like to learn something and get it
over with. I don’t like to dwell on something too long I will get distracted
and drift off in my own world so I loved it. Each time I finish a class I feel
accomplished I focused on one class at a time and go through it within a month
and then off to another class. I like the idea of lower tuition.
One of the comments said "Sounds
more like a crammed summer course to me where you just get the hours in in order
to get the grade and get out as fast as you can." I agree because who
wants to dwell on something for such a long period of time when you can get
that same information in a shorter time so you won’t forget it. I like the
sound of the comment “Call it the new Wal-Mart degree. There is nothing wrong with
faster it just shows that you are able to cram a lot of information in a short
period of time.
We all have had break up’s at least once in our lives but
there is truly a clinical condition that is potentially bad for our health and
this is called broken heart syndrome. The above video claims that broken heart
syndrome is a temporary heart condition brought on by stressful situations,
such as the death of a loved one. People with broken heart syndrome may have
sudden chest pain or think they're having a heart attack.
These broken heart
syndrome symptoms may be brought on by the heart's reaction to a surge of
stress hormones. In broken heart syndrome, a part of your heart temporarily
enlarges and doesn't pump well, while the remainder of the heart functions
normally or with even more forceful contractions.
Women are more likely than men to experience the sudden,
intense chest pains, the reaction to a surge of stress hormones that can be
caused by an emotionally stressful event. It could be the death of a loved one
or even a divorce, breakup or physical separation, betrayal or romantic
rejection. It could even happen after a good shock (like winning the lottery).
Because in my opinion women are emotional creatures.
The medical name for this condition is takotsubo. Today,
it's also referred to as stress cardiomyopathy, stress-induced cardiomyopathy
or apical ballooning syndrome.
When I think of a broken heart, I picture a cartoon drawing
with a jagged line through a heart, but a real-life broken heart can actually
lead to cardiac consequences. There are established ties between depression,
mental health and heart disease. Read on for more information about how an
extremely stressful event can have an impact on your heart.
Broken heart syndrome may be misdiagnosed as a heart attack
because the symptoms and test results are similar. In fact, tests show dramatic
changes in rhythm and blood substances that are typical of a heart attack. But
unlike a heart attack, there’s no evidence of blocked heart arteries in broken
heart syndrome. Broken heart syndrome can lead to severe, short-term heart
muscle failure.
Broken heart syndrome
is usually treatable. Most people who experience it make a full recovery within
weeks, and they’re at low risk for it happening again (although in rare cases
in can be fatal). The most common signs and symptoms of broken heart syndrome are
angina (chest pain) and shortness of breath. You can experience these things
even if you have no history of heart disease so females be careful.
This video talk about the very controversial issue of marijuana and one family’s benefit from itAlex Echols is 11 years old, and he is severely autistic, and his doctor said Alex's self-destructive behavior is brought on by tuberous sclerosis, a rare, genetic disorder that affects about 50,000 people in the U.S. According to fox news “the disorder causes unregulated growth of non-malignant tissue in organs. In Alex's neurologist said growths in Alex's brain have led to seizures and autism.” The video claims that when Alex was 5, he exhibited intense, self-directed rage. As we can see in the home videos of his rage, to prove that his episodes were infect self-inflicted. The poor Oregon family has turned to medical marijuana to manage their son's severe autistic rage, it was sad to see him in a helmet to protect his head, and see him all swaddled like a newborn.
It broke my heart when his dad said that they made the heartbreaking decision to move Alex into a state-funded group home.It makes me happy that Alex is now one of 58 minors currently protected under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act because the family knows what’s best for their child. And after a few months of treatment, the Echols said they saw a dramatic improvement.
Dr. Colin Roberts, Alex's doctor and a pediatric neurologist at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, did not condone the treatment, he said he understood the family's desire to help their child.
Dr. Sharon Levy, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Boston's Children's Hospital and chairwoman of the AAP's committee on substance abuse, told FOX 12 marijuana is toxic to children's developing brains. She also said enough isn't known about the drug's long-term effects.
I want to start off with this video that i saw on YouTube that was going around on Facebook a while back which made me think to write this blog The concept of morality is straightforward
it’s in our core. We have been learning it from when we were a child when our
parents tell us No! That’s wrong and instilling it in us when they made us apologize
for something that we did wrong. Moral
stands for conduct or duties based on what is right and wrong. Morality is
considered to be the basis of character and is wrapped around ethics.
The changing pattern of family structures; the
shortening of the length of many relationships; the creation of many more step
families; the emphasis on parents going out to work and the reduced value and
worth of the full-time parent have all changed the way we behave.
The bad girls club is entertaining to the mature audience, but I will admit that it has became "trashy" and more about drama, manipulation and fighting. The Immature audience might look up to these girls and want to imitate them because they think its cool to act that way.
The culture of greed
and immorality is witnessed on our TV screens and it stretches right up into
corporate boardrooms. It is not just its damaged youth, but society itself that
needs a moral reformation. The age-old saying “treat others as you want
to be treated” Should be practiced religiously.
Even religion has divided, as much as
our society. What we experience now is sweeping changes across the entire
cultural landscape. Large chunks of moral lives of our culture have disappeared
altogether, and looks like it’s in the process of extinction. These have already
been, replaced by new modes of conduct, ways of thought, and standards of
morality that are unwelcome to many of us. Most of our younger generation is
more concerned about their repetition to maintain that the don’t consider how their
actions might affect others.
Why have old values failed to inspire
a younger generation? We witness divorces, greed, self-serving leaders,
violence, drugs and hatred at all levels of society, the next generation is
going to question the values that have produced these results in my opinion.
In this video you will see animals being compassionate towards other animals, unlike the first video where Humans were acting like Animals... no i take that back, worst than Animals
Why some kind of devastation does has
to happen for people to unite? Until society comes to a full realization, of
the need for self-fulfilling authority on what is moral and what is immoral
(right and wrong); no solution will ever be possible.
My name is Rochelle Santiago. I was born in St Mary Jamaica but i grew up in Kingston Jamaica. My Family which is my Mother, Father and two younger sisters moved to the U.S when i was 19.

and eating Jamaican food.
I also like that Florida is close to Jamaica. When i am finished with school i hope to become a mid wife (delivering babies).
I have grown up in church and leaving my mothers house i kind of strayed from it but now i am getting back into it which makes me happy. I have always loved kids even though i don't have any of my own i hope to get one in the near by future until then i want to teach the children ministry at my church. I like to think of myself as a caring person and a good friend.
