Following Penn State; another Abuse Probe Of the Citadel

Another abuse probe revealed after the scandal in Penn State has got the mass in anxiousness. The similar accusation occurred to one of the counselor of this school’s camp. The abuse probe of The Citadel has been showed because there are a lot of media requires about the more information. It’s been almost a week after Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexual abusing eight young boys nearly 15 years. Another college reveals abuse probe about the same case. The Citadel military college in South Carolina revealed on Saturday that it had investigated about abuse probe.

The abuse probe of The Citadel is about four years ago when an investigation denigrated it. The probe was the accusation of inappropriate conduct with children by a counselor at this military school’s camp, Louse Neal alias ReVille. ReVille was informed to the school after inviting a boy who is known as a former camper at The Citadel Summer Camp. There was another boy in ReVille’s room where the three watched porn on his computers and masturbated. The abuse probe of the Citadel military college was immediately conducted into an investigation because it was serious accusation. ReVille denied strongly on the accusation, the abuse probe of the Citadel got him in a corner even his file counted a clean background.

He was arrested in October 28 of the child molestation charges as like what happened to Sandusky in Penn State on November 5.

The abuse probe of the Citadel shows that the risk of teenagers to get sexual abusing is raising now. Since there is not any enough attention to teenagers who are in the period of adolescent, there will be a person who exploits them for their own need. The fact shows it into the real now that sexual abuse deranges children physically and mentally. What is happening in Penn State and The Citadel has been a warning to everyone, including parents, teachers, lecturers, students-especially teenagers. The abuse probe of the Citadel and Penn State are the evidence of the worse handing which should not occurs again. –dsn.

Facial Flaws Failed the Job

People start to think about facial flaws such as birthmark, scars, and other blemishes may be the cause of why you failed to get a job. Facial flaws failed the job sounds like an unconsidered decision to conclude. However, there a lot of arguments about facial flaws failed the job.

Among some people who do a research about facial flaws failed the job, they said that it is proven that something like birthmark, scars or even dark spots which appear on face are disturbing while the interview. It means that while interviewing, the interviewer has not been in concerning to interviewee speaking. The facial flaws disturb the interviewer when the interview running and as the result, they don’t get anything clear about the applicants who have facial flaws so that it says no jobs for the one who has facial flaws. It has been happening further in some workspace, that there’s applicant who’s not received by the company since he or she has facial flaws. The fact tells that it is not fair to blame the facial flaws failed the job.

According to investigators at Rice University and University of Houston, the facial flaws can distract by its unusual appearance and make the interviewers get less information about the candidates since they keep disturbed by the facial flaws.

A psychologist professor from Rice University said that when evaluating applicants in an interview setting, it is important to remember what the interviewees are saying. But the research tells that if you recall less information about the ability and competency of the candidates for you are distracted by characteristic of their face, it decrease your whole evaluation of them. If the evaluation is less about their information, how could the interviewer decide the one who will be received? Without any complete information about competent candidates, it won’t let them finish immediately finding the appropriate candidates. Once again, it seems that the facial flaws failed the job is true.

Other experiment about some managers who has already had much experience of interviewing job applicants tells the similar thing. That they are still distracted by the birthmark, acnes, scars and any other facial flaws, it likely the theory about facial flaws failed the job gets to the clear point.

It shows that probably the discrimination among workplace, the managers and the candidates has occurred and less decreased. It is not fair for those who are capable in their field but refused to get a job due to their facial unusual flaws. There should be any awareness about this discrimination side of workplace, thus the underestimation in workplace can be decreased. It is not the fault of facial flaws, in fact, if you were professional in managing applicants-deciding who is reasonable to choose- you should have not seen into their facial flaws which you mean as the facial flaws failed the job. –dsn.

Today I'm Gonna Do Everything!

Some people say that starting to act is difficult at first. But it won't be that way if it could be as clear as we should place out frame to capture the suite view of everything we have faced. I believe that if you can place yourself in the right way, you will be able to do anything. Nothing's impossible to do if you concern enough to go with our decision and make a big deal to ourselves. It's never ended up longer if you always take a pity on yourself as long as you try to find your way. A way to a dream is to sleep. Even dreaming you gotta find why and how you have the dream, there are first things before you have a dream; admiring someone who really gains a lot of success such as what you want, or maybe a simple thing called first sight. When you see something at a glance, maybe there will be a thousand thoughts on your mind and you cannot divide it into groups to define it. But, the way you should remember is that there is always place for you to go, to do, to think and to create a new land of your own way.

Here i am as what I call myself as a dreamer will not stop in one dream. You must have a thousand of them to find who you are! Motivates!

Better to Start Something Hard Way

It'is different enough from my last life as a girl who always keeps hiding from another world and my world now, even I think it is not as big changes. College and Friends, those are the most I thought before, but now I feel how wonderful it would be if I get a lot of things to do and to love. Last these days, I've finished writing my script novel and handed it to my friends. I ask them how my writing runs and I've got unpredictable comments, she said that my script is good enough and really 'Japanese' because I settled the setting in Japan. And her comment which I can't forget is that she's got tears when reading it. How can I believe her? I guess my scripts is not good one, and I'm so sure that I need to re-read it and doing some editing on some parts. But she's guaranteed that I've made it as beautiful as another famous novel. Again, how can I believe her statement? That's so amazing!

My writing will not stop in that way. I'll try to promote it to a publishing house or maybe I'll self-publish it, but I really wanna my script novel published by a famous publisher one. I wish it will pass the proof-reader and three or four months later, I get a call that mine will be published! ^_^

I have another story about writing, that I've been introduced to someone who has mastered in writing article as freelance writer. I don't know whether I could afford it or not, but I've surely accepted his offers to write some article. At first, I feel little bit in trouble because some disturbs. Internet connectivity, the research of the material I should write, the unique ideas to make an article flows professionally, all those are a few of my difficulty. But, I'll do my best and it is a must! I must write everyday, even I don't know whether my writing will be published or not, I even don't know where he will post my articles... I just try to let a side of my self freely without any worries. I don't know whether I am tricked or anything else, I just want to start something even it's in hard way for better.

Sinopsis

Pada tahun 1950-an, ketika masih di taman kanak-kanak, Katie Takeshima pindah dari Iowa ke Georgia, AS, bersama orangtua dan kakaknya, Lynn. Sebagai keturunan Jepang di AS, orangtua Katie hanya memperoleh pekerjaan seadaanya di perusahaan pengelolaan ayam.

Katie mempercayai dan mengagumi Lynn, bahkan meskipun nasihat kakaknya itu kadang terasa tak masuk akal. Lynn juga memberitahunya segala hal, mulai dari betapa istimewanya warna langit, laut dan mata manusia, sampai masalah rasial.

Ketika Lynn mengidap limfoma, mereka semua sedih, namun seiring perjuangan mereka menghadapi penyakit yang memburuk itu, Katie harus berpegang pada pendapat Lynn, bahwa selalu ada sesuatu yang gemerlap-kira-kira-dibalik semua ini.

Kisah persaudaraan dan keluarga yang mengharu biru. Diwarnai dengan hal-hal konyol ketika kebahagiaan menyelimuti mereka dan kadang dipulas dengan sayup-sayup tangis kala mereka bersedih. Katie, yang sangat mempercayai Lynn dari kecil hingga kakaknya meninggal, belajar begitu banyak hal dari kakaknya. Begitupun dengan Lynn yang sangat mempercayai adiknya. Meski pada saat Lynn mulai mendapatkan teman baru, dia nyaris melupakan adiknya. Karena sibuk dengan sekolah dan hal-hal lainnya, Katie merasa Lynn sudah tidak peduli lagi padanya. Hingga tiba waktunya bagi Katie untuk mulai bersekolah seperti Lynn, gadis kecil itu mulai melupakan kekecewaannya sementara, lalu kehadiran Sam adik laki-lakinya yang membuat Katie memiliki teman selain Lynn. Namun, karena sesuatu terjadi tiba-tiba pada Lynn, semua orang menjadi begitu sedih. Dad dan Mom bekerja lebih keras untuk mencari biaya sehari-hari dan pengobatan Lynn yang tidak sedikit. Kedua orangtua Katie dan Lynn bekerja membanting tulang di sebuah perusahaan pengolahan ayam namun itupun sangat sedikit sehingga mereka bersedia bekerja lembur untuk itu.

Adik perempuan yang berusaha menjaga kakaknya yang sakit itu harus bersabar menghadapi sikap Lynn yang terkadang berubah menyebalkan. Katie hanya ingin menjaga Lynn agar kakaknya itu lekas sembuh. Teman-teman Lynn yang dulu bersamanya kini tak lagi mau berteman dengan Lynn, Katie sangat membenci hal itu bahkan sejak awal Lynn berteman dengan mereka. Hingga pada suatu ketika Katie harus menerima bahwa Lynn tidak lagi bisa seperti dulu, berlarian di padang rumput atau bersembunyi di balik tanaman jagung, bercerita tentang Kira-Kira, Lynn tidak bisa lagi melakukannya. Kepergian Lynn untuk selama-lamanya itu menyisakan luka yang mendalam bagi, Dad, Mom, Sam dan terutama Katie. Catatan-catatan diary Lynn yang dia tinggalkan menjadi kisah yang terekam menjadi memori yang tidak akan terlupakan. Tentang sesuatu yang gemerlapan, tentang Kira-Kira.

Sebuah hal indah yang bisa dipetik dari kisah Katie dan Lynn yakni, meskipun hal buruk atau yang lebih buruk terjadi, bagaimanapun juga pasti ada hal-hal yang Kira-Kira, pasti ada hal istimewa dibalik semua yang terjadi.
