What
is a pub? The word pub is short for public house. Pubs are popular
social meeting places. They are an important part of British life.
People talk, eat, drink, meet their friends and relax there. Many
have a garden where people can sit in the summer. One of the oldest
pubs, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Herts, is located in a building
that dates back to the eleventh century. Groups of friends normally
buy ‘rounds’ of drinks, where the person whose turn it is will
buy drinks for all the members of the group. In most pubs in Britain,
you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your
purchase immediately, there is no table service. Bartenders do not
expect frequent tipping. To tip them, it is customary to say: “Would
you like a drink yourself?”

“Hello”, said a quiet,
musical voice.
I looked up, stunned that he
was speaking to me. He was sitting as far away from me as the desk
allowed, but his chair was angled toward me. His hair was dripping
wet – he looked like someone in a commercial for hair gel. His
dazzling face was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless
lips. But his eyes were careful.
“My name is Edward Cullen,”
he continued. “I didn’t have a chance to introduce myself last
week. You must be Bella Swan.”
My mind was spinning with
confusion. He was perfectly polite now. I had to speak; he was
waiting. But I couldn’t think of anything conventional to say.
“H-how do you know my name?”
I stammered.
He laughed a soft laugh.
“Oh, I think everyone knows
your name. The whole town was waiting for you to arrive.”

Empirically
Based Leadership
A significant area of interest
within the US Army empirical literature on leadership is emotional
intelligence (EI), which in recent years has been the focus of
considerable attention in relationship to leadership efficacy.
Emotional intelligence involves an awareness of one’s own emotions
as well as the ability to control them, social awareness of others
and their emotions, and the capacity to understand and manage
relationship and social networks.
In understanding others’
emotions, an important contributing factor to the success of the more
effective military officers is their ability to empathize with their
subordinates. In discussing empathy, FM (Field Manual) 6-22 defines
it as “the ability to see something from another person’s point
of view, to identify with and enter into another person’s feelings
and emotions”. Empathy is not typically a quality that most
soldiers would readily identify as an essential characteristic to
effective leadership or necessary to producing positive
organizational outcomes, but it is an important quality for competent
leadership, especially as it relates to EI.

[A] empathy is part of
emotional intelligence.
[B] emotional intelligence
does not include empathy.

the ability to control them...”, the expression as well as

Welcome
to Madrid: City of Protests
Madrid (CNN) – “The
people, united, will never be divided!” yells the crowd, angrily
waving banners and placards. “To fight is the only way!”
Dog-walkers, mothers with strollers, and pensioners carrying shopping
bags join the crowd. These people on the sidewalk are no curious
neighbors. Indeed, many of them are complete strangers to the family
living on the fifth floor, but they are all here to protect Rocio
from eviction - being forced to leave her property by legal process.
Rocio and her son, now 17 and in high school, moved from Ecuador in
2003, when times were good and jobs plentiful in Spain. But then the
global financial crisis hit, bringing Spain’s economy down, Rocio
lost her two jobs - in a shop, and as a cleaner. For a while, Rocio
got by on benefits, but then those stopped too. She is an example of
the crisis many Spaniards face as the country deals with the highest
unemployment rate since the Civil War in the 1930s, and a recession
entering its second year. “I can’t stand the thought of living on
the streets with my son, but I have no idea where else to go”, she
says.
Rocio’s story is echoed by
others all over Spain. It is this fear that took many Spanish
citizens to action. Many of those people who are outside the door of
Rocio’s apartment block are supporters of “Stop Desahucios”
(Stop Evictions), part of the Platform of People Affected by
Mortgages (PAH – Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca), a group
that campaigns to prevent banks and authorities from eviction because
of the country’s economic crisis. They accuse the banks and
authorities of “real estate terrorism”.
There are also the mass
marches of the 15-M movement - also known as the “Indignados”.
Activist Dante Scherma, 24, says citizens were not used to speaking
out on political issues. “The 15-M movement made people talk about
social issues, and about politics in normal conversations - in cafés,
restaurants, bars - where before they only talked about football or
fashion.”
Back in Vicalvaro, the moment
of truth has arrived, but the crowd - now shouting at the police,
insisting they have to stop forcing families to leave their
properties - appears to have had an impact. Lawyers from the PAH
explain that Rocio will be able to stay - for a while, at least. For
those working to stop Spain’s eviction epidemic, today has seen a
small and temporary victory. For those demonstrating about cuts,
corruption and lack of cash, the protests will go on.

Apple manufacturing plant
workers complain of long hours and militant culture
Chengdu, China (CNN) — Miss
Chen (we changed her name for this story), an 18-year-old student
from a village outside of the southern megacity of Chongqing, is one
of more than one million factory workers at a Chinese company that
helps manufacture products for Apple Inc.’s lucrative global
empire, which ranked in a record $46.3 billion in sales last quarter.
They work day or night shifts, eating and sleeping at company
facilities, as they help build electronics products for Apple and
many other global brand names, such as Amazon’s Kindle and
Microsoft’s Xbox.
As a poor college student with
no work experience, looking for a job in China’s competitive market
is an uphill battle. So when Chen was offered a one-month position at
Foxconn with promises of great benefits and little overtime, she
jumped at the chance. But when she started working, she found out
that only senior employees got such benefits.
“During my first day of
work, an older worker said to me, ‘Why did you come to Foxconn?
Think about it again and leave
right now’,” said Chen, who plans to return to her studies at a
Chongqing university soon.
Foxconn recently released a
statement defending its corporate practices, stating its employees
are entitled to numerous benefits including access to health care and
opportunities for promotions and training. In response to questions
from CNN, Apple also released a statement: “We care about every
worker in our worldwide supply chain. We insist that our suppliers
provide safe working conditions, treat workers with dignity and
respect, and use environmentally responsible manufacturing processes
wherever Apple products are made. Our suppliers must live up to these
requirements if they want to keep doing business with Apple.”
After three weeks of applying
more than 4,000 stickers a day onto iPad screens by hand and working
60 hours a week in an assembly line, Chen says she’s ready to go
back to school and study hard so she’ll never have to return to
Foxconn. “It’s so boring, I can’t bear it anymore. Everyday is
like: I get off from work and I go to bed. I get up in the morning,
and I go to work. It is my daily routine and I almost feel like an
animal,” said Miss Chen. When asked why humans do machine-ike
work at Foxconn, she responds,
“Well, humans are cheaper.”

Song lyrics
I wouldn’t call myself a
social butterfly
And there’s not much that
separates me from the other guy
But when I log in I begin to
live
There’s an online world
where I am king
Of a little website dedicated
to me
With pictures of me and a list
of my friends
And an unofficial record of
the groups that I’m in
Before the internet,
friendship was so tough
You actually had to be in
people’s presence and stuff
Who would have thought that
with a point and a click
I could know that Hope Floats
is your favorite flick
Facebook
I’m hooked on Facebook
I used to meet girls hanging
out at the mall
Now I just wait for them to
write on my wall
Oh! Link’s status changed,
it says he’s playing the recorder...
How do you know this person?
Did you hook up with this
person?
Do you need to request
confirmation?
Or did you just think they
looked cute...
From their picture on
Facebook?
If the internet crashed all
across the land
Or my Facebook account was
deleted by the man
I’d carry around a picture
of my face
And a summary of me typed out
on a page
