CLOWNY MISFORTUNES CHAPTER 33
Rocky was sentenced to 27 years to life.ROCKY HAD BEEN inside about a year and a half when his little sister, Renee, and a friend of hers disappeared. Her friend’s name was Nancy Rubia, and they were both 13 years old. Renee was daring, uncontrollable. Both girls were already running away from home, staying out late, drinking. They were last seen on the night of January 24, 1982, getting into a Pontiac Firebird with two men. Renee and Nancy were found a few days later in an irrigation ditch off Bacon Island Road in the Delta.This is the second terrible crime.Rocky’s sister, Renee, before she disappearedWhen he heard the news, Rocky wondered if his sister was paying for what he’d done. He had enemies, of course, and he wondered if the violence he’d spread in the world was coming back to him. He sent out messages, lists of people he wanted executed. He didn’t know who was responsible, but what he lacked in information, he made up for with the scale and scope of his anger. He wanted

Now, the boldest boy in the class; Samson rose and walked to the front of the class. No greetings, no informalities. He went straight to the point.“Today, I’m going to be talking about HUMAN RIGHTS; IN INDIA AND DIASPORA.”Everyone stared.“A right is described as an entitlement or justified claim to a certain kind of positive and negative treatment from others, to support from others or non-interference from others. In other words, a right is something to which every individual in the community is morally permitted, and for which that community is entitled to disrespect or compulsorily remove anything that stands in the way of even a single individual getting it. Rights belong to individuals, and no organization has any rights not directly derived from those of its members as individuals; and, just as an individual’s rights cannot extend to where they will intrude on another individual’s rights, similarly the rights of any organisation whatever must yield to those of a single indivi

Some students in the class yawned, already getting tired of his long ‘boring’ speech. Mrs. Ayodele didn’t miss a glance. “Hey continue, I’m enjoying you” she smiled at Samson.“Human rights are protected and supported by international and national laws and treaties. The UDHR was the first international document that spelled out the “basic civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that all human beings should enj

“Good afternoon class” Juwa saluted.“Hmmm,” the class buzzed, gradually smiles changed to bursts of laughter. They knew he loved football, and anything he’s got to say today has to be related to it.“class, today id be speaking on the topic HOOLIGANISM IN FOOTBALL.”Everyone clapped for him, “quite an astonishing intro” Mrs. Ayodele said. They all knew there’s a high prob Juwa’s speech would be very interesting.

“I’m so sorry this essay presentation class is taking so long. I really want to listen to all essays you guys got there so you could improve. Keinde, what do you have for us?”“I want to talk on WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?Have you ever wondered what drives you, to want to become a better person? That feeling you get when you want to accomplish something that seems out of reach, that feeling that makes you do dumb things that you know you should not do, but do it anyway so a certain someone would like you better. That feeling that made you want to work harder in class to get that gold star up by your name, or that fear of being punished if you did not work harder. Well each one of those feelings is a different type of motivation. What is motivation? “Motivation is internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested in and committed to a job, role, or subject, and to exert persistent effort in attaining a goal. Motivation is the energizer of beh

"Good day class". Deji cleared his throat."Internet safety in schools....This essay addresses the topic of internet safety in terms of how it relates to school contexts. A focus is taken on compulsory education within the UK. The essay draws on governmental resources, and from work from charitable and educational sector organisations, in supporting online safety measures relevant to schools. The essay also discusses the implications of the 2018 GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) in terms of their relevance for educational settings.With the pace of developments in online technology, the relationship between the operation and administration of education and convergence culture bringing the online and the offline together in ever more-complex ways, and the increasing sophistication of the uses made of technology, it is imperative that schools keep abreast of current thinking regarding internet safety. Statutory guidance from the UK government wit

Good afternoon ma.” Tayo greeted.“Good afternoon darling. God bless you, you are well cultured enough.”“Thanks ma. Can I proceed with my essay ma?” tayo asked.“Kindly,” Mrs. ayodele replied.The class cast a close gaze.“Okay, this afternoon, class, I’m gonna talk about SPECIAL REWARDS THAT CAN MOTIVATE YOUR EMPLOYEES.“You have to get rewarded in the soul and the wallet. The money isn’t enough, but a plaque isn’t enough either”. Motivation-the willingness to exert oneself, consequent of the afore-implied intrinsic and extrinsic incentives, is fundamental to the prosperity of individuals, groups, organizations and society; for absent of this, there exists a lack of satisfaction, productivity and willpower that ultimately leads to inefficiency, dissatisfaction and management constraints. It is the aim of this paper to contest traditional views, by asserting that pay is of equal importance as job-design in achieving motivation-which will in turn provide an appreciation that both job-d

The judge yawned, after several minutes of conotating judgement. clerk at alert, witnesses trembled."The second revolutionary law would give non-mortgageable and non-transferable ownership of the land to all tenant and subtenant farmers, lessees, share croppers and squatters who hold parcels of five caballerías of land or less, and the State would indemnify the former owners on the basis of the rental which they would have received for these parcels over a period of ten years.The delegation of Cuba to this assembly, first of all, is pleased to fulfill the agreeable duty of welcoming the addition of three new nations to the important number of those that discuss the problems of the world here. We therefore greet, in the persons of their presidents and prime ministers, the peoples of Zambia, Malawi, and Malta, and express the hope that from the outset these countries will be added to the group of Nonaligned countries that strugg

The never ending law suit continued."This brief explanation has been necessary because it is basic to a consideration to which few people, until now, have paid any attention - soldiers have a deep respect for the feelings of the majority of the people! During the Machado regime, in the same proportion as popular antipathy increased, the loyalty of the Army visibly decreased. This was so true that a group of women almost succeeded in subverting Camp Columbia. But this is proven even more clearly by a recent development. While Grau San Martín's regime was able to preserve its maximum popularity among the people, unscrupulous ex-officers and power-hungry civilians attempted innumerable conspiracies in the Army, although none of them found a following in the rank and file.The March 10th coup took place at the moment when the civil government's prestige had dwindled to its lowest ebb, a circumstance of which Batista and his clique took advantage. Why did th

The honourable judge got a bit angry at what he said. He could'nt hold his calmness." Why such interest in silencing me? Why is every type of argument foregone in order to avoid presenting any target whatsoever against which I might direct my own brief? Is it that they lack any legal, moral or political basis on which to put forth a serious formulation of the question? Are they that afraid of the truth? Do they hope that I, too, will speak for only two minutes and that I will not touch upon the points which have caused certain people sleepless nights since July 26th? Since the prosecutor's petition was restricted to the mere reading of five lines of an article of the Social Defense Code, might they suppose that I too would limit myself to those same lines and circle round them like some slave turning a millstone? I shall by no means accept such a gag, for in this trial there is much more than the freedom of a single individual at stake. Fundamental matters of princ

Having been bound by the law, he stood before the jury. he was banned to speak. However, his lawyer wasn't. he ambled before the deck, ready to defend his client's course."Honorable Judges,Never has a lawyer had to practice his profession under such difficult conditions; never has such a number of overwhelming irregularities been committed against an accused man. In this case, counsel and defendant are one and the same. As attorney he has not even been able to take a look at the indictment. As accused, for the past seventy-six days he has been locked away in solitary confinement, held totally and absolutely incommunicado, in violation of every human and legal right.He who speaks to you hates vanity with all his being, nor are his temperament or frame of mind inclined towards courtroom poses or sensationalism of any kind. If I have had to assume my own defense before this Court it is for two reasons. First, because I have been denied legal aid al

Papa Moses climbed up the pulpit. Humbled in spirit, he began to dish out the contents in his mind."ladies and gentlemen,Today, Sunday, in all parishes of the diocese,who so far have not suffered from war damage themselves, kept the collection I ordered for the residents of the city of Munster. I hope that through the intervention of the responsible state and municipal authorities and through the fraternal help of the Catholics of our diocese, whose donations the Caritas offices will administer and distribute, we will succeed in alleviating many needs.Thank goodness: For several days, new attacks by opponents of the war have not reached our city. But unfortunately I have to say it: The attacks by our opponents in the interior of the country, the beginning of which I discussed last Sunday in St. Lamberti, have been in the last week, regardless of our protests, regardless of the heartache that this causes those affected and prepared for their rel

“Describing an execution of an innocent man scene, how will you be like?” Chairman asked.Everyone expected something funny, it was time to laugh. Laughs.“Okay,I shall be very little heard of anybody here, I shall therefore speak a word unto you here.Indeed I could hold my peace very well, if I did not think that holding my peace would make some men think that I did submit to the guilt as well as to the punishment. But I think it is my duty to God first and to my country for to clear myself both as an honest man and a good King, and a good Christian.I shall begin first with my innocence.In truth I think it not very needful for me to insist long upon this, for all the world knows that I never did begin a War with the two Houses of Parliament. And I call God to witness, to whom I must shortly make an account, that I never did intend for to encroach upon their privileges. They began upon me, it is the Militia they began upon, they confessed that

Ralph burst into an unneccesary laughter when he saw his fellow speaker climb up the stage. Dennis never cared. He began quickly.“Ladies and gentlemen, I have only thirty minutes in which to speak to you this evening, and I, therefore, will not be able to discuss in detail so much as I can write when I have all of the time and space that is allowed me for the subjects, but I will undertake to sketch them very briefly without manuscript or preparation, so that you can understand them so well as I can tell them to you tonight.I contend, my friends, that we have no difficult problem to solve in America, and that is the view of nearly everyone with whom I have discussed the matter here in Washington and elsewhere throughout the United States -- that we have no very difficult problem to solve.It is not the difficulty of the problem which we have; it

"Some years later I returned to Warren. It seemed that the whole population was out for the occasion. I was received with open arms. I was no longer a demagogue; no longer a fanatic or an undesirable citizen. I had become exceedingly respectable simply because the Socialists had increased in numbers and socialism had grown in influence and power. If ever I become entirely respectable I shall be quite sure that I have outlived myself.It is the minorities who have made the history of this world. It is the few who have had the courage to take their places at the front; who have been true enough to themselves to speak the truth that was in them; who have dared oppose the established order of things; who have espoused the cause of the suffering, struggling poor; who have upheld without regard to personal consequences the cause of freedom and righteousness.It is they, the heroic, self-sacrificing few who have made the history of the race and who have pa

RALPH sipped from a mug."Let us review another bit of history. You remember Francis J. Heney, special investigator of the state of California, who was shot down in cold blood in the courtroom in San Francisco. You remember that dastardly crime, do you not? The United Railways, consisting of a lot of plutocrats and highbinders represented by the Chamber of Commerce, absolutely control the city of San Francisco. The city was and is their private reservation. Their will is the supreme law. Take your stand against them and question their authority, and you are doomed. They do not hesitate a moment to plot murder or any other crime to perpetuate their corrupt and enslaving regime. Tom Mooney was the chief representative of the working class they could not control. They own the railways; they control the great industries; they are the industrial masters and the political rulers of the people. From their decision there is no appeal. They are the autocrats of the Pacific coast&mdash
