9 Things You Should Know About Orphans

CURRENT EVENTS

This past weekend was Orphan Sunday, a day many Christians and churches set aside to recognize God's call that we defend the fatherless, care for the child that has no family, and visit orphans in their distress. Here are nine things you should know about orphans in America and around the world.

1. A common assumption is  that an orphan is a child who has two deceased parents. But the more inclusive definitions used by adoption and relief agencies tend to focus on a child who is deprived of parental care. An orphan can be further classified by using definitions such as UNICEF's  “single orphans,” which is a child with only one parent that has died, or “double orphans,” which is a child who has two parents that are deceased. Under U.S. immigration law, an orphan can also be a foreign-born child with a sole or surviving parent who is unable to provide for the child's basic needs, consistent with the local standards of the foreign sending country, and has, in writing, irrevocably released the child for emigration and adoption. The majority of the world's orphans have families who are merely unable or unwilling to care for the child.

2. According to UNICEF estimates, there are 17,900,000 orphans who have lost both parents and are living in orphanages or on the streets and lack the care and attention required for healthy development.

3. In the U.S. 400,540 children are living without permanent families in the foster care system. 115,000 of these children are eligible for adoption, but nearly 40% of these children will wait over three years in foster care before being adopted.

4. According to the U.S. State Department, U.S. families adopted 8,668 children from another country in 2012 (compared to 22,991 in 2004). Last year, Americans adopted the highest number of children from China, Ethiopia, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine.

5. Children raised in orphanages have an IQ 20 points lower than their peers in foster care, according to a meta-analysis of 75 studies (more than 3,800 children in 19 countries).

6. Each year, over 27,000 youth “age out” of foster care without the emotional and financial support necessary to succeed. Nearly 25% of youth aging out did not have a high school diploma or GED, and a mere 6% had finished a two- or four-year degree after aging out of foster care.

7. As of 2011, nearly 60,000 children in foster care in the U.S. are placed in institutions or group homes, not in traditional foster homes.

8. The average length of time a child waits to be adopted in foster care is over 3 years. Roughly 55% of these children have had three or more placements. One study found that 33% of children had changed elementary schools five or more times, losing relationships and falling behind educationally.

9. A study by the Rand Corporation found that as of April 11, 2002, a total of 396,526 embryonic humans have been frozen and placed in storage in the United States. Most of them will live and die in an IVF clinic. That is almost 400,000 orphans whose names we will never know and whose faces we will never see.

The successful manager

The successful manager

A successful manager is someone who sets plans, monitors work, leaves minutes of steering for others, and puts a man above a man. According to what we know and what we have seen, the manager is the first leader who follows the Board of Directors and in accordance with a general strategy set by this council. However, each manager has a strategy that he must set for his work according to the strategy of the board of directors. He is satisfied with the strategy of the board of directors and the development of his strategy to run the work of the institution, although in modern management the manager is who must be mentally satisfied so that he can take strategic and important decisions and intervention in a timely manner and this mental satisfaction can only come b And to give powers to the managers and officials who come after him in the organizational structure of the company and not to limit his powers and thus creates a kind of central to have many disadvantages, the most important of which are: mental fatigue and focus on small things or even large, which should not be valid and this makes Mentally distracted ... access to this stage of frown and confusion must be out quickly ... Accumulation of the work of the ACCUMULATION OF Work and lack of flow and general discontent among the officials and customers who have business with the institution ... The accumulation of work and lack of flow as well as creating a kind of Monotony Create A Kind O f Monotony with the rest of the institution.

This is what happens in many of our institutions, which is not useful to the existence of the director, no matter how efficient, in addition to the poor results of the concentration of powers of the manager weaken the leadership of the managers and officials of the manager and continue this vulnerability is Leaked With the organizational structure of the company and it creates a weak institution that is able to run its business only with one person if the absence or failure of the institution failed and this is the big difference between the developed world and the other world, especially we have in the Arab countries and this inherited old Wet This is sacrificed on the political side and we are always looking at the so-called Superman at a time when we must look for a good system and appropriate collective management that matches the goals of the institution away from the blind tradition and away from the abhorrent centralization.

And the director is not required to be a good speaker, but must be a good intervention Excellent Interfered either in talking or during crises and positions and must be a good listener, especially during meetings with subordinates and not to emerge in the form of a permanent adviser listen to his subordinates accurately and benefit from them through their experience each In his specialization as well as through their livelihood for the daily things that concern the company and he does not control the meeting with a lot of talk and his dominance on the meeting, but on the contrary is the one who needs the information that concerns the company, but he can intervene in a talk in a smart and intelligent and also can issue instructions and He can make them determine how important these instructions are. Through this method, the manager becomes a manager based on a good base of assistants and officials to be able to walk the institution even in his absence, as it may, like other people.

The manager we have by the Libyan expression when people see someone sitting put a man on a man who say about him as a joke that he is a manager, and here if we obeyed him !! The manager must make STRATEGIC PLANS and monitor, not to cram himself into all the daily and daily matters, although there is someone who is more expensive than him, and does not intervene strongly unless he felt that there is a defect in one of his departments. But for a temporary period until things are back to normal. For example, there is a defect in the performance of one of the Director's departments. Here he must intervene and amend things temporarily through his intervention, but this should not last long, but it has to study this imbalance may be in the possibilities available in the management or staff and management staff. Or the director of the administration and after the study, which ends to provide the possibilities or support and development of management staff or even change the director of management and then leave things going to the institution naturally.

If we want to define the tasks of the manager: it is specific and should not be many! So what we need is a manager and a mind-free leader of busy tasks, ready to make a good strategic decision.

The worst ways of execution Being Hanged, Drawn and Quartered

The worst ways of execution

Being Hanged, Drawn and Quartered

First recorded in England during the 13th century, this unusually extreme — even for the time — mode of execution was made the statutory punishment for treason in 1351. Though it was intended to be an act of such barbarous severity that no one would ever risk committing a treasonous act, there were nevertheless plenty of recipients over the next 500 years.

The process began with the victim being dragged to the site of execution while strapped to a wooden panel, which was in turn tied to a horse. They would then experience a slow hanging, in which, rather than being dropped to the traditional quick death of a broken neck, they would instead be left to choke horribly as the rope tore up the skin of their throat, their body weight dragging them downwards.

Some had the good fortune to die at this stage, including infamous Gunpowder Plot conspirator Guy Fawkes, who ensured a faster death by leaping from the gallows.

Once half strangled, the drawing would begin. The victim would be strapped down and then slowly disemboweled, their stomachs sliced open and their intestines and other major organs hacked apart and pulled — “drawn” — from the body.

The genitals would often be mutilated and ripped from between their legs. Those unlucky enough to still be alive at this point might witness their organs burned in front of them, before they were finally decapitated.

Once death had finally claimed them, the recipient’s body would be carved into four pieces — or “quartered” — and the parts sent to prominent areas of the country as a warning to others.

The head would often be taken to the infamous Tower of London, where it would be impaled on a spike and placed on the walls, “for the mockery of London.”

The Roman Candle

Many of the very worst execution methods ever devised involve fire — from burning witches at the stake in medieval Britain to roasting criminals alive in the searing metal insides of the brazen bull in Ancient Greece — but few match the sheer lack of humanity as the Roman Candle.

A rumored favorite of the mad Roman Emperor Nero, this method saw the subject tied to a stake and smeared with flammable pitch (tree or plant resin), then set ablaze, slowly burning to death from the feet up.

What sets this above the many other similar methods is the fact that the victims were sometimes lined up outside to provide the lighting for one of Nero’s evening parties.

Every Day You Play....

Every Day You Play....

Every day you play with the light of the universe.
Subtle visitor, you arrive in the flower and the water,
You are more than this white head that I hold tightly
as a bunch of flowers, every day, between my hands.

You are like nobody since I love you.
Let me spread you out among yellow garlands.
Who writes your name in letters of smoke among the stars of the south?
Oh let me remember you as you were before you existed.

Suddenly the wind howls and bangs at my shut window.
The sky is a net crammed with shadowy fish.
Here all the winds let go sooner or later, all of them.
The rain takes off her clothes.

The birds go by, fleeing.
The wind.  The wind.
I alone can contend against the power of men.
The storm whirls dark leaves
and turns loose all the boats that were moored last night to the sky.

You are here.  Oh, you do not run away.
You will answer me to the last cry.
Curl round me as though you were frightened.
Even so, a strange shadow once ran through your eyes.

Now, now too, little one, you bring me honeysuckle,
and even your breasts smell of it.
While the sad wind goes slaughtering butterflies
I love you, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.

How you must have suffered getting accustomed to me,
my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running.
So many times we have seen the morning star burn, kissing our eyes,
and over our heads the grey light unwinds in turning fans.

My words rained over you, stroking you.
A long time I have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body.
Until I even believe that you own the universe.
I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells, dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
