...“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art” ” Francois de La Rochefoucauld (1613 – 1680). Eating is necessary in order to live; but to eat with knowledge is a talent in it self. Unhealthy eating is one of the fastest growing health risks today. Obesity is a contributing factor which leads to many deadly illnesses and is spreading throughout the nation. There is a way to stop this killer and healthy eating is the cure. Healthful Eating will help one to live longer and give one the confidence needed in knowing that body is at its best. Making small changes in every day eating habits will enable people to move forward towards a healthier body and lifestyle. It is important that we eat healthily. To do this we have to have what is called “a diet.” To have a healthy diet, we have to make sure we eat the right kinds of foods. Nutritious foods are very beneficial; nutrients help us to grow, keep our bodies in good repair, and help us to stay fit and active. Healthful foods provide necessary nutrients to our body. Nutrients are a key factor to obtain energy so our muscles work properly, our brain remains active and our hearts continue to beat. Furthermore, “nutrients help build and strengthen bones, muscles, and tendons and regulate body processes, such as blood pressure” (WebMD 2005-2008). Living longer is what most people strive for. For countless people, it is a struggle to succeed at eating healthy. For others, this success comes naturally. “By committing to eat healthier...

...Francois de La Rochefoucauld once said, “People that are conceited of their own merit take pride in being unfortunate, that themselves and others may think them considerable enough to be the envy and the mark of fortune.” (Francois).The quality of pride can be both destructive and harmless. In “The Necklace”, Mathilde Loisel proves that she is a very prideful woman. Mathilde’s prideful decisions not only affect her life, but they also affect the lives of those around her. The theme of the story, pride, is displayed in several occurrences throughout the story. The story writes, “When she sat down to dinner, before the round table covered with a tablecloth three days old, opposite her husband, who uncovered the soup tureen and declared with an enchanted air, ‘Ah, the good pot-au-feu! I don't know anything better than that,’ she thought of dainty dinners, of shining silverware, of tapestry which peopled the walls with ancient personages and with strange birds flying in the midst of a fairy forest…” (Maupassant 68). Mathilde was born a clerk’s daughter; however, she feels that she deserves more than what...

...Hardy states, “Everybody was attracted , and some said that her bygone simplicity was the art that conceals art, the ‘delicate imposition’ of rochefoucauld: she had produced an effect a contrast.” (chap15-text-Hardy). After a character by the name of Elizabeth-Jane, started to conform to the society, by wearing fancier clothing and presenting herself in a more elegant way. The men in town started to notice her in a different light than before. This comes to show that even in the 1800s that women felt like they had to fit into the status-quo so they could be “normal”. Not much has changed in that matter in today’s world, only now many men are conforming because they do not want to appear weak to their friends. While many famous women in the 21st century have become a positive role model for girls they still want to conform to others around...

...I. The Reasons behind VDP institution of the congregation of the mission (1605) and the Daughters of the Charity (1633) Saint Vincent de Paul, (1581-1660), was a French Priest and founder of the Congregation of the Mission called the Vincentians or the Order of the Lazarists. At Fifteen years of age Vincent was sent as a boarder to the Franciscan College at Dax and was ordained to the priesthood in 1600. It is said Saint Vincent was seized by pirates while going from Marseille to Narbonne in 1606; sold into slavery in Tunisa and escaped and returned to France some months later. Like many of his contemporaneous, Vincent saw the priesthood as a means of advancement, and in 1613 he was presented with a golden opportunity when he was appointed to service with the Gondis, one of the most influential families in France. He spent some 20 years as a parish priest and chaplain to this aristocratic family. He was also chaplain general of the galleys of France and as such tried to aid the sea slaves. In 1617 he founded the first Confraternity of Charity, made up of wealthy women working among the sick and poor in Châtillon-les-Dombes, near Lyon. In 1622 he was appointed Superior of the Parisian Convents of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary by the French prelate St Francis of Sales. Congregation of the Mission Context- A community of the congregation was formally established at the College des Bons-Enfants in Paris in 1626, where Saint Vincent served as principle. He established...

...Television gives children bad role models that they are likely to follow. The television shows that our children watch can contain characters that are in the role of protagonist and looked up to by kids that teach them bad values, morals, and what is normal behavior. With a merging of mature content and animation Family Guy shows us a prime example of bad role models. The main character Peter Griffin is a mindless, disrespectful, and shameful dad whose escapades get his family, himself and others into dangerous situations. Peter Griffin has no respect for authority and throughout the series writers of the show use his characters to trash other show and people with little respect for anyone. The bad examples continue into shows like Breaking Bad a television show watched by millions upon millions in which the main character Walter White is a science teacher with a small family who goes from suburban life to leading a life in the drug game after getting diagnosed with cancer. Walter White teaches bad morals to people and even if children don't watch it directly, the message has gotten in to pop culture so much so that children are being dressed up in Walter White halloween costumes. An example of a childrens show format merging into adult content is in the show Brickleberry created by a comedian who strategy is to shock by any way possible, he turns a lovable looking animate bear and cast of other harmless looking characters and insults to insult. This comedy sends the wrong message...

...Running head: Nutrition and Health Programs Nutrition and Health Programs Brittany C. luten Dr. Wallace ENG 115 assignng.2.1 November 5, 2012 Nutrition and Health The Chairman of the state school board has asked you (a consultant on health and wellness), to write an informative piece about the recent changes to the breakfast and lunch program. The information will be used improve nutrition and health. The content will turn into a brochure describing the four major issues: economic situation, special needs, health of the population being served, process and benefits of the program. He asked you to include two visuals to illustrate the issues. We know that there are several ways to help children, and one great way is to ensure they are properly fed. The hearts and minds of children cannot be fully engaged in learning, unless their bodies are content and ready to learn. When children come to school hungry, they are rushing though hectic schools lunch periods, or when they become restless because there is “no time” for recess, their learning abilities will be challenged. Poor nutrition and the lack of physical activities for today’s youth are major contributing factors to obesity and chronic diseases. A study conduced by Y.C. Wang et al. in 2006 found that the spike in childhood obesity between 1988 and 2002 could have been prevented by an average reduction of 110-165 calories per day. It also...

...As Europe entered the mid-19th Century it found itself growing in new ways that, before did not seem possible. The 19th century brought industrialization which would change how society and the economy functioned. With the initiation of the Industrial Revolution life declined for men, women, and children, through the increase of regulations, poverty, health problems, and the slow dissolution of the once tight family unit ideal. The Industrial Revolution resulted with many individuals having their work replaced by faster and more efficient machinery. Prior to industrialization, one of the systems that ran much of the economy was the putting out system. According to Alexandre Frederic (the Duke of La Rochefoucauld) in one of his writings, the putting out system was family run and a manual production which occurred in the home, once the product was completed, it was then prepared for trading which the family was also in charge of (Document 5, 153-154). The putting out system was a system that required the whole family to work together and do their...

...s.9 of the Wills Act which requires the will be made in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by two people. However, equity holds that a ST will still be valid in equity if it is properly created and there are two main theories to justify this. Firstly, is the traditional view, known as the 'fraud theory'. The fraud theory is based on the equitable maxim that 'equity will not permit a statute to be used as an instrument of fraud'. The fraud theory was identified as the basis for secret trusts by Lord Westbury in McCormick v Grogan stating 'the court has, from a very early period, decided that even an Act of Parliament shall not be used as an instrument of fraud' which tallies with the equitable doctrine illustrated in Rochefoucauld v Boustead which precludes a person from relying on his common law rights to perpetuate fraud. The fraud theory is based on the trustee's unconscionable refusal to observe the terms of the ST agreed with the testator . Hodge explained 'the fraud lies in the fact that the secret trustee is attempting to defeat a beneficial interest which he has lead the deceased to believe would belong to another' and therefore, by not allowing the ST the court would be allowing a fraud. Challinor argues the theory does not give a logical explanation for STs. One reason to support her view is that the theory fails to distinguish between HST and FST. Arguably, a secret trustee is unable to commit fraud under a HST even if the trust fails, because he...

...Ethnic Diversity in the System COMM/215 Famous author Francois de la Rochefoucauld once said, “The only thing constant in life is change.” This quote has never been more true than it is today. The world is constantly changing, evolving, merging, and businesses have the task of anticipating this never ending change before it occurs. 60 years ago, instant access to information was not available. A businessman in Texas was not able to communicate with a customer in Singapore, over a video conference call. People of different cultures did not have nearly as many interactions compared to today. Today’s world is one where different people of all different cultures are conducting business together on a daily basis. The presence of diverse cultures calls for a change in the way business is run. Businesses’ must anticipate the effects of a multicultural workforce and anticipate how it may impact trust between coworkers, task management, and communication in large companies. Having different cultures in the workplace can cause conflicts to arise between relationships. Some cultures, such as Latinos, value trust and relationships. Latinos, for example, put relationships with others above all else. They refuse to let work or any other subject come between them and a friend or a loved one. On the other hand, Americans tend to put work first above all else. They will set aside a relationship, or even cause harm to a...

...Adjustment for me was never easy, since I was a child I made a lot of adjustments in myself, my surroundings how I should feel and think when some people are around or I am being threatened by other’s presence. Before I start my autobiography on how I made adjustments in my life let me define the word ”adjustment” first. According to my sources adjustment, in psychology, the behavioral process by which humans and other animals maintain equilibrium among their various needs or between their needs and the obstacles of their environments. A sequence of adjustment begins when a need is felt and ends when it is satisfied. Hungry people, for example, are stimulated by their physiological state to seek food. When they eat, they reduce the stimulating condition that impelled them to activity, and they are thereby adjusted to this particular need, or it Can be defined as the behavioral process of balancing conflicting needs, or needs against obstacles in the environment. Humans and animals regularly do this, for example, when they are stimulated by their physiological state to seek food, they eat (if possible) to reduce their hunger and thus adjust to the hunger stimulus. I learned that adjustment disorder occurs when there is an inability to make a normal adjustment to some need or stress in the environment. As far as I can remember, my first adjustment as a child was, when I was about 2 or 3 years old my father always goes to Palawan for a couple of days or weeks perhaps. When he...

...Social prescribing in general practice: adding meaning to medicine ‘There are few things we should keenly desire if we really knew what we wanted.’ Francois de la Rochefoucauld (French writer 1613–1680) Social prescribing is about expanding the range of options available to GP and patient as they grapple with a problem. Where that problem has its origins in socioeconomic deprivation or long-term psychosocial issues, it is easy for both patient and GP to feel overwhelmed and reluctant to open what could turn out to be a can of worms. Settling for a short-term medical fix may be pragmatic but can easily become a conspiracy of silence which confirms the underlying sense of defeat. Can or should we try to do more during the precious minutes of a GP consultation? Where there are psychosocial issues GPs do suggest social avenues, such as visiting a Citizens Advice Bureau for financial problems, or a dance class for exercise and loneliness, but without a supportive framework this tends to be a token action. The big picture difficulty with leaving underlying psychosocial problems largely hidden in the consulting room is the medicalisation of society’s ills. This ranges from using antidepressants for the misery of a difficult life, to the complex pharmaceutical regimes prescribed to patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes. This sort of medicalisation may help immediate problems (including driving the economy through jobs in the healthcare industries) but it is not enough if our society...

...I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't. If someone is stupid enough to walk away from you, be smart enough to let them go. Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience. One of the hardest decisions in life, is whether to walk away or try even harder. Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right. Nobody wants to hear this, but sometimes...the person you want most is the person you're best without. A relationship with God is the most important relationship you can have. Trust him and everything will always turn out fine. Pretend you don’t love him, just pretend. 2 things might happen. He’ll realize he misses you or you’ll realize how much you don’t need him.. I'm currently making some changes in my life. If you don't hear from me anymore, then you're probably one of them.

...I would like to start by defining equity according to the Webster’s Dictionary as ‘a body of legal doctrines and rules developed to enlarge, supplement, or override a narrow rigid system of law’ (Marriam-Webster.com). Also maxims is defined also by Webster’s Dictionary as ‘a general truth, fundamental principle, or rule of conduct’ (Marriam-Webster.com). Therefore the maxims of equity may fairly be described as a set of general principles which are said to govern the way in which equity operates. They tend to illustrate the qualities of equity, in contrast to the common law, as more flexible, responsive to the needs of the individual and more inclined to take account of the parties’ conduct and worthiness. In conducting this research, it cannot be said that there is a definitive list of the maxims: different sources give different examples and some works prefer to avoid the term altogether in favour of a broader discussion of the character of equity. Above all, the maxims are applied only when the court feels it appropriate: none of the maxims is in the nature of a binding rule and for each maxim it is possible to find as many instances of its not having been applied as instances where it has been. I will give such instance, such as the role of the maxims was discussed in the case of Tinsley v Milligan [1993] 3 All ER 65, (which I will not go in detail). In the Court of Appeal a flexible approach was taken to the application of the maxim, ‘he who comes to equity must come...
