Every day, we wake up with a choice. We can choose to embrace the day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world, or we can let fear, doubt, and negativity hold us back. It's easy to get caught up in the challenges and obstacles we face, but it's important to remember that these challenges are what shape us into who we are. Each obstacle is a chance to learn something new, to become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than we were before.
But we don't hav
Stress and anxiety are two of the biggest challenges facing our society today. In a world that's always on, where we're bombarded with information and demands from every angle, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed out. But the good news is that there are things we can do to manage stress and anxiety, and one of those things is fidget toys.
Fidget toys are small, simple objects designed to provide a physical outlet for nervous energy. They're a fun and effective way to help relieve stress and anxiety, and they've been proven to improve focus and concentration as well. Whether you're an office worker, a student, or a stay-at-home parent, fidget toys can help you stay calm and focused in the face of stress and anxiety.
One of the great things about fidget toys is that they're easy to use and carry with you. You can have a fidget toy in your pocket, purse, or backpack, so you can fidget whenever and wherever you need to. Whether you're sitting in a boring meeting, waiting for your flight, or just feeling overwhelmed, a fidget toy can help you feel more relaxed and centered.
But fidget toys are more than just stress-relievers. They can also be great for improving focus and concentration. When you're feeling anxious or stressed, your mind can wander and it can be hard to focus on the task at hand. But when you have something to fidget with, it can help you stay centered and focused on the task at hand. Whether you're working on a big project, taking a test, or just trying to be productive, a fidget toy can help you stay focused and get more done.
So, what are you waiting for? If you're looking for a fun and effective way to manage stress and anxiety, consider picking up a fidget toy today. Whether you prefer spinning tops, stress balls, rubber ducks, or puzzle cubes, there's a fidget toy out there that's perfect for you. So go ahead, give it a try, and see for yourself how a simple fidget toy can make a big difference in your life.
I recently was involved in a heated discussion with one of
my daughter because I said that they did not appreciate me dedicating my life
to take care of them as a single dad. She fires back with this arrogance that,
that it is what I was supposed to do. I said that is not true, because but I
have a choice to be in there life or not! She told me, NO I DIDN’T!!! She said that
it is a parent is obligation to take care of their children.
I stated that a woman has the right to make a decision to
bring a life in this world or take a life and there is nothing that I as a man or
the law can say to make her change her mind…
So to take it one step farther the one law that enforces what
a parent has to do in regards to their children, is called child support. Did
you know that child support can’t make you take care of your child, but can only
make you pay to take care of your child?
Don’t get me wrong I obligated myself to my children because
I did not have a father in my life, and I did not want them to not have a
father as well. In reality the only thing that obligates a mother or father to
their children is a conscious, not the law!
Lee James, 24, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 18 years for
beating 44-year-old Bijan Ebrahimi to death before setting his body on
fire.
James admitted killing the victim, who was from Iran, outside his home
in Bristol in July in what the judge described as an "act of murderous
injustice".
A second man, Steven Norley, 25, was also jailed for four years at
Bristol Crown Court for assisting an offender after he admitted helping
to burn Mr Ebrahimi's body.
Lee James, left, and Steven Norley
Mr Ebrahimi was a vulnerable man who was mistaken for a paedophile by
his neighbours when he was seen taking pictures of young people who were
damaging his garden plants, which which he was devoted.
He had repeatedly contacted police complaining that he was the victim
of anti-social behaviour and was being unfairly targeted by his
neighbours.
Just hours before his death Mr Ebrahimi begged officers to help, telling them he did not feel safe in his own home.
But his messages to Avon and Somerset Police went unanswered, Bristol Crown Court heard.
Three days before Mr Ebrahimi’s death, a crowd had reportedly gathered
outside his home in Capgrave Crescent, Brislington, calling him a
"paedo" and the police arrested Mr Ebrahimi for breach of the peace.
As the officers arrested Mr Ebrahimi for "his own safety", he told
them: "I can't believe you are arresting me when I haven't done
anything."
Mr Ebrahimi's body was set alight with white spirits
Prosecutor Andrew Langdon QC said: "As he was led away, the neighbours began cheering. Some were shouting abuse.
"An eyewitness told PC Winter, 'Everyone seemed to be out of control.
It was like they were a posse or a vigilante group or a witch hunt'."
Neighbour Beryl Smith said the neighbours "were shouting 'get out of here you dirty paedo'."
Mr Ebrahimi was released without charge the following day.
On July 11, James entered Mr Ebrahimi’s house and threatened to take
the law into his own hands unless police "dealt with the situation".
Footage of the confrontation, which the victim had filmed, has been released by the court.
"During the course of the evening of July 12, Mr Ebrahimi made a number
of calls to police reporting hostile behaviour," Mr Langdon said.
"For one reason or another, these messages were not responded to. At
1.57am he sent an email to the local beat manager saying he was being
called 'nasty things' and did not feel safe at home.
"Regrettably that was not a message that was read until after his death."
Mr Langdon told the court how James repeatedly stamped on the head of Mr Ebrahimi, inflicting fatal injuries.
"Following that attack Lee James and Steven Norley dragged Mr
Ebrahimi's body about 100 yards out of the crescent on to the verge of a
neighbouring road before they poured white spirit over the body and set
fire to it," he said.
Footage filmed by Mr Ebrahimi of James
Avon and Somerset Chief Constable Nick Gargan issued an apology after
the tragedy, saying: "Mr Ebrahimi was someone who deserved the
protection of all of us and we are very sorry about what happened to
him."
Mr Gargan went on: "It is clear that there was a collective failure on
the part of statutory agencies and others to protect Mr Ebrahimi and we
cannot wait for all the various external investigative processes to run
their course before we start learning lessons for the future."
Police watchdog the IPCC has questioned six officers over their
handling of the case, three under police caution. All were served
notices of gross misconduct and three have been suspended on full pay.
The IPCC has also questioned six civilian police staff who are believed
to be call-handlers. Bristol City Council has also launched a review
into the case.
Mr Ebrahimi's sister, Manizhah Moores said her brother had suffered
racial abuse while living in Bristol and his previous home had been the
subject of an arson attack.
She said: "We hope that nobody else ever has to witness an innocent
disabled man being abused, taunted and tortured in the way that Bijan
suffered.
"The question that now must be answered is whether Bijan's death could
have been avoided had he been afforded the protection from the
authorities he deserved.
"Lessons must be learned before other vulnerable lives are lost."
I have no compassion for a fool,This girl assaulted the girl because she was mad. I have no doubt in my mind that she did not think of what if. Simply acting in a fit of rage would not have helped this girls mother if she would have died from this shocking attack. Sometimes as black people we act before we think, and the crack as she hit and kicked the girl means that the court should drop the hammer on her with like she is a common rouge!!!
