Facebook Password Requests From Employers




SCENARIO: So, I am sitting in an interview and I believe that it is going well. I am excited and know I nailed every question. I know deep inside I have gotten this job. Then I am asked to provide my Facebook account information. What should I do? If I say no IT MAY HURT MY CHANCES OF GETTING THE JOB. If I provide it THEY HAVE ACCESS TO MY PRIVACY!

What should I do?

RESPONSE: I understand that you believe that having this information can help you learn more about who I am, however the site provides a password to each individual for a reason. With that said I will be more than happy to accept you as a friend on my page and you can have access to all activity that occurs under a FRIENDS status.

If they hire me, Great job! And if not, that company has just missed out on a great employee.

It is important that the choices we make in our lives reflect who we really are and social media outlets are key ways for employers to better understand who they have hired. However, there are boundaries to that and knowing them is important. Asking for passwords is key that the employer already does not trust you.

Moroccan Rape Law



So your child come to you and tell you that she was raped and beatened. As a father you are fusing and want to kill the man who done this to your daughter. As a mother you are angry no one was there to protect her. The rapist is caught a few days later and in court the judge says the rapist will recieve 20 years in prison and your family will be scorned for life or he must marry her to protect the family from being disgraced. With all the opportunities and knowing the changes that are happening around you in this world, what would you do?

You know deep down this rapist has terrified your daughter and she is beyond out of it. You notice she is having nightmares and she can't seem to get that scent of that man off her. You know that marrying her off any time soon will not work and she may even need psychological help. What would you do?

You have already begun to see people looking at your family in an odd way and frowning their noses at your daughter as if it was her fault. You notice you can't even get your daughter to come out her room or walk anywhere in the neighborhood. How do you really feel?

Would you choose the love of your child or the love of your family respect?  Is it right to care about what others think over your own childs health? What would you do?

Silence of The Lamb

There are so many stories to follow around this world that deal with hundreds of deaths and uprisings. It is ongoing and never does anyone rest silently after it. The deaths are permanent and there is no turning back physically to change it. Mentally, we are bombarded with burdens of why? Why do such pain and anger live inside so many? Not one time does anyone realize that they make their own decisions and can stop at once and cease the ignorance abroad. Yes, I understand that fighting about religion and freedom is needed and I am not saying that protesting is wrong. I am saying that violence is wrong and it is ruining the beauty of life on earth. It will not take one man to stop this. It can never take one man to stop this. Thousands of years, this world has fought and where has it gotten us today?

There are so many people who have their viewpoints and their reasons for why this indecent exposure happens. There are also MILLIONS who will argue to say how positive the outcomes will be for this world. Where is the outcome and when will it get here? No one wants to wake up to another man determining their fate for that day. No one wants to wake up to watch over their backs in fear of dying or losing a child and loved one. This continuous need to fight for change has helped many countries, however in the process of fighting for change, THERE ARE some people WHO have changed themselves resulting in more violence and revenge tactics. Your brain is much more powerful than your physical nature can ever be. When will we begin using it more wisely?

 I send a prayer out to all the lost loved ones across this world and no matter what religion you are or beliefs you have, remember one thing: WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS WHO WANT TO LIVE AND LOVE.
PLEASE STOP THE VIOLENCE!

In Vitro Babies Denied Citizenship




International in vitro is a critical. A single mother was denied the right to bring her babies into the United States until she is able to verify that one of the donors for the children is an American citizen. I researched how in vitro works and found that it is strictlt an anonymous procedure where a donor helps to produce children for those who may be unable to have children or some form. In vitro to me sound like another form of adoption, however, the gene pool can be slightly different. From what I understand by this process is that someone else's eggs is planted into the person who wants to have a baby, however the donor is not recognized as an American or not. In doing so, if women who are traveling want to come to the United States, with their children and are traveling alone, they are questioned about the citisenship of their children. Is that right? According to international regulations; yes.

Donors should have a choice to be anonymous or not so that those who decide to go that route has the option to decide if they want anonoymous donors or not. Choices are critical when it comes to whom a birth is created by in this world and it is interesting no one thought of the OPTION procedure prior to this. We are too advanced to not have put a process like this in place. Assistance is needed and someone need to get on it right away!

Healthcare Case Banned From Television!


Is it wrong that the Supreme court will not air the Healthcare case on TV when it is one of the most serious cases to ever be heard? It determines millions of Americans healthcare in this country. Do you believe this vital decision should be made by the Supreme court?

The high court has never let anyone record its proceeding via public broadcast. Listening to it through audio recording as well as transcript is provided by the courts on their site and they will provide where else to locate the information via audio. I am not trying to tell the Supreme court what to do, but speaking directly to our high courts, 'have you really thought this through?'

History has been remaking itself over again in this country and it is evident that hearing these healthcare proceedings is a serious matter of the people. Changes are needed and changes must take place, but it can only happen if everyone agree. Do you believe it is time to rid the mysterious behavior of our Supreme court system? I do and I am not afraid of saying so! What is your take on it?

If you interested in the case you can  go to the court’s website, www.supremecourt.gov, each day beginning March 26th.

Obama Said He Will Lower Gas!



Let me say this; gas prices are too high now! We need some action now! I'm sick of going to the pumps and paying 3.86 for gas and than having to refill so quick that I don't even believe all my gas was given to me. Obama reevaluated his energy policy to a community college in Maryland. He states that if he is reelected back in office, he will make sure that gas is lowered to 2.50. Do you believe him? I tried researching about drilling because it is not something I am educated on. However, I did find that at minimum it can take three months to drill a 20,000 to 30,000 foot hole. And that is not based on all valid information because in doing other research, I found that the same hole can take almost a year.

 I continued to research and found that that same hole can't be determined because it depends on who is drilling it as well as the type of drill being used. However, the more drilling that is taking place, the least the cost of gas will be. How so? I do not know. There are experts that says more oil is being produced when there is more drilling going which lower gas prices and than there are experts who say that is a lie. Whatever the true issue is with oil, the public will never really know. However, if gas can go back to 99 cents instead of increasing with the economic growth as is everything else (AHA!) I will be satisfied as well as every other American who drives a car! Or just maybe this is a sign to go back to riding horses and walking. I wonder if can I get a horse to stop at all the stop signs and red lights? Although, if 2.50 is the best you can do President Obama than it is way better than four dollars.


Check out these two sites as well. Drilling looks harder than it sounds:

Obama Healthcare Law and Our Chief Justice





Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will be making history soon. When he takes his seat on March 26, he will be hearing arguments on the Obama Healthcare law. This is going to really make history. Chief  Justice Roberts will be determining the fate of millions of Americans who do not have healthcare insurance. So many lives are in the hands of Roberts and his decision will define his legacy either in a positive way or negative way. So, America asks you Chief Justice Roberts: What are you going to do?

While reading an article about this historical event in the newspaper, I realized I knew nothing really about this man and who he really was even though the Healthcare Law is very important to me. So, I decided to learn a bit more. I found that our Chief Justice and Our President have a few things in common. He graduated from Harvard law school as did our President. Both graduated magna cum laude which means "with great praise" showing that they work above and beyond the requirements to graduate. Roberts later worked for George W. Bush in the 1990's. Something else interesting is the fact that in 2004, Obama was recognized after his historical speech to be a definite preffered candidate to run in the Democratic party for presidency.

 A year later, in 2005, Roberts was appointed by President George W. Bush Jr. as Chief Justice. Now, I am not trying to connect anything for anyone. But research this some more and I'm quite sure it will draw some conclusions for you. What is really going to happen with this Healthcare law?

Texas Reduced Their Share of Co-payments for Federal Insured Patients



Three billion dollar cuts in Texas Health insurance is not going to work out well for those who depend on it. What are the reason really to do all of this? There are over 320,000 people who are low income and are dual eligibles for Medicare and Medicaid. Yes it saves the state a whole lot of money; almost a half million dollars, but what will happen to all the practices that only see these type of patients? It would be a major bombshell for practices to have to close their doors on these low-income patients due to malfunctions on behalf of the state. Yes I said malfunctions and I say this because no one seemed to have thought of the high risk of dual coverage in health insurance before putting it in place and now these people do not have the option to agree or disagree.

 I looked up those who qualify for dual coverage in Texas and it is for people who are over the age of 65 who have worked for a minimum of 10 years! Our seniors do not deserve this treatment. If you are a politician in office who chose to make these cuts, in my honest opinion you should not be in office. There are so many other cuts that could be made and I'm quite sure there could have been some other way to go about fixing this matter. I am praying for all those in Texas and the other 18 states who has suffered and I know this can't be the final solution. Where are the financial advisors on this healthcare issue? If I am wrong about this issue please tell me because I would love to hear more information on this as well as if someone know anything else more inform me.

Oprah's Life Class


So, I am reading my new O' Magazine and I am excited that this month is the new season of Oprah's Lifeclass. It comes on all new every monday at 8/7 central beginning MAR 26th on the OWN network. I loved last season so much that I began subscribin the maazine and became addicted to that as well. I believe this woman is a pure replica of everything myself as well as many other women would want to be. She defines power and womanhood. She owns herself in doing so. Good job Oprah! And do not forget to check your local listings.

Here’s what the candidate told the student: “Don’t just go to one that has the highest price. Go to one that has a little lower price where you can get a good education. And, hopefully, you’ll find that. And don’t expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on.” Mitt Romney, I have one question for you; What were you thinking? And please do not answer too fast. This time think.

I am not TRYING TO ENTAIL tha I don't like the man. I am only stating my opinion based on this situation. Overall, he is a candidate running for office and I do wish him the best as well as all the others. However, when you are fighting a race to represent a nation Mitt, you must tighten up and make sure you mean what you say and be PRECISE.   
So, they said increasing jobs in the U.S would take a long process and could not be done. Somebody has definitely been misinformed. It may not seem that we are on the right track and getting things done but we have definitely moved towards improvement. The numbers do not lie! There is more hiring going on in communities around where I live than ever before and to top it off, there is more construction and building of new businesses in quite some time. I would say society needed a wake up call in order to realize how important investing really is and now that some know, hopefully they will not take advantage of it again. Controlling spending and budgeting in order to produce more jobs is important and 227,000 new jobs is remarkable. keep it up!
