This is Yuki, our silky terrier/maltese cross. She's three years old and pretty much the best natured dog I know, loves affection and wants nothing more than a scratch behind the ears and a soft bed because she loves to laze around. She's an old soul but a beautiful, affectionate hound.
On Tuesday as I was coming home from work, Mr Fork called me and said that Yuki was having trouble walking so he was taking her to the vet. She was fine when I'd left for work that morning, so I asked what happened and he said he thought she'd injured a back leg running up the stairs. Five minutes later, he called back and said he'd found a tick over her eye; we couldn't go to our regular vet as she needed to be admitted for overnight and immediate treatment.
She was admitted as soon as we got there and was already going into shock - she couldn't walk, and was starting to shake and have trouble breathing. The vet told us that it's not the worst case of paralysis tick they've seen and she looks good to recover but it's going to be a long road.
Yuki will hopefully be home with us tonight, after having spent almost 48 hours under around the clock veterinary care. When admitted, she had no gag reflex, could not walk or blink and was shaking and in shock. She could not toilet by herself. The vet will not let her come home until she can eat, walk and toilet on her own.
We did everything right. We treat them, clip them short, worm them and check them for ticks regularly. Apparently ticks are becoming immune to lots of treatments and it really was rotten luck to get one in the suburbs, especially as we don't have much bushland or long grass nearby. Our dogs rarely leave the yard and we are told the most likely possibility is she picked it up from a possum, who are immune and can host the ticks.

diminished to total social withdrawal.
Schizophrenia afflicts approximately one percent of the world's population, making it the most common psychosis. Schizophrenia is characterized by positive and negative symptoms. Fundamental symptoms include thought disturbance, withdrawal, and difficulties managing effect. Secondary symptoms include perception disorders such as hallucinations and grandiosity. Symptoms may also be non-schizophrenic in nature, including anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic symptoms.
Schizophrenia is a severe, chronic brain disorder that alter the way a person acts, thinks, perceives reality, express emotions and relates to other people. Schizophrenia affects people of all gender and races. People suffering from Schizophrenia believe that other people have a capacity to read their mind, control their thought patterns or are scheming to harm them. In other cases, they may smell odors or hear voices that other people don't smell or hear. These experiences leaves a person withdrawn, frightened of extremely agitated. Just like cancer or diabetes, Schizophrenia is a long life disease that has no known cure but it can be controlled with the correct treatment.
Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder in that a person may not differentiate the reality from imaginations; this usually leads to change in a person's behavior and personality. When the change is sudden, it is referred to as psychotic episode. Sufferer of Schizophrenia experience different psychotic episodes during their lifetime, making the severity of the disorder to vary from one person to the other.
People suffering from paranoid Schizophrenia are preoccupied with delusions about being punished or persecuted by other people. However, their thinking pattern, emotions and speech remains normal.
Sufferer of this type are usually confused and illogical, their speech is cluttered. Their behavior is disorganized, emotionless, and inappropriate leading to limited ability to do normal daily activities like eating or taking a shower.
People suffering from this type of Schizophrenia have limited physical response. They normally become unresponsive and immobile due to their unwillingness to move resulting to increased risks of exhaustion, malnutrition and even self inflicted injuries.
This type of schizophrenia characterized by decreased severity of symptoms of schizophrenia; delusion, hallucinations and other symptoms may be presents but are far less than when they were diagnosed originally.
Positive symptoms are characterized by behaviors which are easily spotted. They include delusions, thought disorders, hallucinations and movement disorders. Delusions are weird beliefs which are not based on reality, worse still; a person refuses to give up the beliefs even when they are presented with realistic information. Hallucination involves perception of feelings that are not real. This will include hearing voices that are not heard by other people or smelling strange odors.
These symptoms are characterized by the inability of a person to think and respond in an appropriate way. Some of the symptoms include inability to make decisions, losing or forgetting things, use of nonsense words or sentences that have no logic, slow movements, shifting from one thought to the other quickly and repeated gestures and movements.
Negative symptoms reflect loss of ability to express emotions, speak and plans initiation. Some of the negative symptoms includes; withdraw from relatives and friends, loss of interest in life, poor hygiene, swing moods and reduced energy.
Schizophrenia is an illness like diabetes or cancer with a biological root although the real cause is not yet known. There are a number of factors that contributes to the development of schizophrenia in a person. This includes; heredity or genetics, abnormality in brain, environment, brain chemistry.
There is a high possibility of children developing schizophrenia passed from parents as the illness tends to run in a family.
Abnormal brain structure is another factor contributing to development of schizophrenia in a person.
Schizophrenia is likely to occur when a person body is undergoing physical and hormonal change especially when these changes occur under stressful situations or poor social relations.
Lack of chemical balance in the brain is another factor that contributes to the development of schizophrenia. Example is dopamine chemical which act as neurotransmitter that helps in sending of messages between nerve cells. In the case, the brain produce may produce dopamine in limited or excess quantity causing an imbalance which affects the way the brain reacts and responds to stimuli such as smells, lights and sounds.
Schizophrenia is a common illness affecting people of all cultures and races across the globe. The disease manifests itself in late teenage and early 20s although it can occur at any age. The effect of schizophrenia on men equals that of women although symptoms appear in men in early 20s while in women the symptoms appear in late 20s. Over 2.4 million people, representing 1% of United States population suffers from Schizophrenia.
Currently, there are no specific laboratory tests for diagnosing schizophrenia. When a person exhibit signs of Schizophrenia, doctors perform various procedures like blood test and X-rays aimed at ruling out any other illness that might cause the same symptoms. If no illness is found after the tests, the patient is referred to psychologist or psychiatrist who uses various techniques to assess if the person has psychotic disorders. The person behaviors and attitude is also used as part of the diagnostic report. If the person exhibit schizophrenia symptoms for more than six months, he/she is considered to be suffering from schizophrenia.
Antipsychotics are the primary medications for treating schizophrenia. This medicine reduces disturbing symptoms like hallucinations and delusion. Some of the common medicines include Prolixin, Navane, Trilafon, Clozaril, Geodon and Zyprexa.
Psychosocial therapy is considered the most effective in dealing with social, psychological and behavioral problems resulting from schizophrenia. Therapy includes rehabilitation which helps an individual to focus on skills and training to help an individual to be independent. Family therapy enables a person to interact and effectively deal with the family members.
Hospitalization is preferred when dealing with patients who exhibit severe symptoms of Schizophrenia. The aim of hospitalization is to prevent them from hurting or injuring themselves and gain stability as they take medication.
Psychosurgery through an operation known lobotomy is used in very limited cases on patient with chronic and severe schizophrenia. The operation is considered hazardous due to the serious damage it can cause to a person.
Schizophrenia has no known method of prevention, but early diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment help decrease symptoms of the illness.
NOTE: A second opinion is a good idea in a diagnosis of schizophrenia, "Schizophrenia is probably the most misused psychological term in existence" ( Carlson, 1995 ). See case studies.
Diagnostic Criteria ( DSM-IV™ ) made easy.
2. For a significant portion of time, due to the disturbance, marked impairment is noticed in academics, interpersonal relationships, self-care, work or any other major area of functioning.
3. Symptoms are continuous and persist for at least six months.
4. The disturbance is not due to a Pervasive Developmental Disorder, substance abuse, general medical condition or another mental disorder.
Fundamental symptoms: thought disorders, blunted effect, indifference, withdrawal, retardation, autistic behavior and mannerisms.
Secondary symptoms - mechanisms patients may develop to cope with fundamental symptoms : hallucinations, paranoid ideation, grandiosity.
Non-schizophrenic symptoms - emotional disturbances not uniquely associated with schizophrenia: thought disorders, blunted effect, indifference, withdrawal, retardation, autistic behavior and mannerisms.

previous: CRM, an integrated solution
How far has CRM advanced in Asia?
Frost & Sullivan has undertaken pioneering research in the CRM market and has launched the "Pan Asian Customer Relationship Management Software Markets" subscription which provides an in-depth analysis of the CRM software market in Asia.
The CRM software market has been divided into three main segments of which the sales force automation (SFA) software market and customer service/care software markets have been further categorized into two sub-segments. Marketing automation is the third major segment.
The total Pan Asian CRM software market was valued at US$110.2 million in 1999 (excluding Japan and Mainland China).
Robust growth is expected in this market in the period from 2000 to 2006, with the Philippines and Thai markets experiencing exponential growth because of the emerging stage of the market in these countries at this time.
Frost & Sullivan has calculated that by 2006, the total Pan Asian CRM software market will be valued at US$1.79 billion.
In 1999 Australia/NZ represented 64.6 percent of the total CRM software market. The large number of call centers, both in-house and outsourcing service providers, has driven high growth for the solutions.

"The Livestock Exchange Building is located on the Grady County Fairgrounds, at 500 E. Choctaw, east of downtown Chickasha. The primary fairground buildings are this livestock arena, and an administration building to the north.
The livestock building was originally constructed as an open air arena, with stalls, offices, and a grandstand. A photo of the arena as it stood for so many years is shown in the gallery. A major renovation was completed in 2000, and a roof was erected over the arena. The native sandstone walls were preserved, inside and out, and the upper walls were finished with stucco and metal siding. The stone building has tall windows – some are 8/1 hung, and some are 18-pane fixed. Glass blocks are used as decoration on curved portions of the wall, and above the entrance on the high facade.
The building contains 69,680 square feet and measures 268 x 260 ft. The dirt arena is 120 x 240 ft. and is the venue for numerous livestock and horse shows throughout the year. It was built with a WPA appropriation of $105,056.
This is a beautiful example of the high-quality WPA construction in Oklahoma. The fairgrounds is the site of hundreds of events throughout the year, including rodeos, performance horse shows, dog shows, concerts, roping events, cutting horse and team penning events, livestock shows, numerous local and statewide educational events, sports activities and the largest antique car swap meet in the nation.

Work: The Labors of Language, Culture, and History in North America
Author : J. Jesse Ramírez
Publisher : Narr Francke Attempto Verlag
Download Work: The Labors of Language, Culture, and History in North America PDF Format Full Free by J. Jesse Ramírez and published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all fundamental categories, work becomes ever more complex as we examine it more closely. The terms "work," "labor," "job," "employment," "occupation," "profession," "vocation," "task," "toil," "effort," "pursuit," and "calling" form a dense web of overlapping and contrasting meanings. Moreover, the analysis of work must contend with how histories of class struggle, gendered and sexual divisions of labor, racial hierarchies, and citizenship regimes have determined who counts as a worker and qualifies for the rights, protections, and social respect thereof. And yet waged work is only the tip of an enormous iceberg that feminist theorists call "socially reproductive labor"—the gendered, mostly unpaid, and hidden work of caring for, feeding, nursing, and teaching the next generation of workers. This collection of essays explores the richness of work as a linguistic, cultural, and historical concept and the conjunctures that are changing work and its worlds.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labor rights have traditionally been a concern of labor law scholars and practitioners whose work concentrates exclusively on domestic developments. In the past decade, however, the globalization of investment and production has expanded the bounds of labor rights discourse. Contributors to this volume provide the first comprehensive view of labor rights in the international system of commerce. They consider the avenues open to worker rights claims in the global economy under international human rights instruments, U.S. trade laws, free trade agreements, labor rights litigation, and corporate codes of conduct. They address worker rights from the standpoints of human rights concerns, trade and development policy, and labor law principles.

A Cultural History of Work in the Modern Age
Author : Daniel J. Walkowitz
Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
Download A Cultural History of Work in the Modern Age PDF Format Full Free by Daniel J. Walkowitz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 PROSE Award for Multivolume Reference/Humanities Changes in production and consumption fundamentally transformed the culture of work in the industrial world during the century after World War I. In the aftermath of the war, the drive to create new markets and rationalize work management engaged new strategies of advertising and scientific management, deploying new workforces increasingly tied to consumption rather than production. These changes affected both the culture of the workplace and the home, as the gendered family economy of the modern worker struggled with the vagaries of a changing gendered labour market and the inequalities that accompanied them. This volume draws on illustrative cases to highlight the uneven development of the modern culture of work over the course of the long 20th century. A Cultural History of Work in the Modern Age presents an overview of the period with essays on economies, representations of work, workplaces, work cultures, technology, mobility, society, politics and leisure.
People in Transit
Author : Dirk Hoerder
Download People in Transit PDF Format Full Free by Dirk Hoerder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-22 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demographic shockwaves of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Europe produced tremendous change in the national economies and affected the political, social, and cultural development of these societies. Migration historians have begun to connect the various European migratory streams during this period with transcontinental migration to North America. This volume contains empirical studies on German in-migration, internal migration, and transatlantic emigration from the 1820s to the 1930s, placed in a comparative perspective of Polish, Swedish, and Irish migration to North America. Special emphasis is placed on the role of women in the process of migration. By looking specifically at postwar Germany, Klaus J. Bade underscores the relevance of this history in a concluding essay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive account of one of the most dominant trends in recent historical writing, The Cultural Turn in U.S. History takes stock of the field at the same time as it showcases exemplars of its practice. The first of this volume's three distinct sections offers a comprehensive genealogy of American cultural history, tracing its multifaceted origins, defining debates, and intersections with adjacent fields. The second section comprises previously unpublished essays by a distinguished roster of contributors who illuminate the discipline's rich potential by plumbing topics that range from nineteenth-century anxieties about greenback dollars to confidence games in 1920s Harlem, from Shirley Temple's career to the story of a Chicano community in San Diego that created a public park under a local freeway. Featuring an equally wide ranging selection of pieces that meditate on the future of the field, the final section explores such subjects as the different strains of cultural history, its relationships with arenas from mass entertainment to public policy, and the ways it has been shaped by catastrophe. Taken together, these essays represent a watershed moment in the life of a discipline, harnessing its vitality to offer a glimpse of the shape it will take in years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2007 Association of Black Women Historians Best Anthology Award Globalization is not a new phenomenon; women throughout the world have been dealing with the circumstances and consequences of an international economy long before the advent of the transnational corporate conglomerate. However, in a mercenary example of the tried clich "the more things change, the more they stay the same," women-particularly those of color-continue to be relegated to the lowest rung of the occupational ladder, where their indispensable contributions to global market capitalism are downplayed or invalidated completely through the perpetuation of stereotypes and the denial of access to better job opportunities and resources. How women of color around the world adapt and challenge the economic, political, and social effects of globalization is the subject of this broad-minded and incisive anthology. From Mexico, Jamaica, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka, to immigrant and non-immigrant communities in the United States-the women documented in these essays are agricultural and factory workers, artists and entrepreneurs, mothers and activists. Their stories bear stark witness to how globalization continues to develop new sites and forms of exploitation, while its apparent victims continue to be women, men, and children of color.

Mayank, a creative soul, is a techie by profession who is veiled in a professional world of Boolean logic, which inhumanly confines the God's intricate creation to true or false. He has authored a number of articles on technology and processes for various journals, tech forums, and conferences. His journey as a writer expedited in 2014, when one of his articles was featured in Better Software magazine published in Florida, USA. He always felt that something was missing in the excursion until he discovered the immense passion to write on matters that often make his heart sink. In due course, writing became his greatest passion when he observed how it can trigger the winds of change. It was a turning point when a left-brained professional with over twenty years of global experience from leading multinational companies began to transform into a right-brained writer with empathy.
Besides writing, he is passionate about sketching portraits, painting and making sculptures since childhood. After a hectic weekly calendar, he desperately looks forward to a rejuvenating weekend, when he spends time in his reading and writing corner or nurtures floras in his gorgeous garden in the backyard. Mayank was born and brought up in New Delhi. He is settled in the national capital region of Delhi with his wife, Sonali, daughter, Myra, and son, Aarav.

As I traveled across continents and associated with people having diverse beliefs and values, I became more curious about the social riddles that curtailed liberties across societies. It is exemplary how Nordic countries regard fundamental rights of human beings. It is no wonder why some Nordic countries are among the happiest countries in the world.
India is the fifth-largest economy in the world with the Gross Domestic Product growth at 7.1 percent. Contrary, India ranks 118 out of 157 countries in the happiness index. The fact seized my attention towards social problems affecting social support, freedom of choices, and generosity, to name a few. I penned my debut novel, The Princess of a Whorehouse when I came across some real life incidents that quivered my feelings. In the total population of 1.3 billion, the millions of naïve women and girls, like the protagonists in my story are agonized due to a million-year-old social inequality that still persists in today's capitalistic world.
The Princess of a Whorehouse is a poignant tale of a young girl's coming of age in one of the most ruthless realms of society in which several naïve women and their blameless children are deprived of liberty and freedom to make life choices.
Three-year-old naïve Aparajita is unaware of a murky spell ahead when her widowed mother, Ramya struggles to find a livelihood in a small town in Jharkhand. Ramya takes a dubious decision to relocate to a strange land, a thousand miles away, looking for greener pastures of life. Ramya's whole world comes crashing down around her when she reaches the megacity of Delhi, and finds that a hypocrite kinfolk traded her dignity and Aparajita's destiny for a trifling sum of money.
Trapped in the merciless milieu of one of the largest red-light districts in India, Aparajita faces the repercussions of something she has the least control of. A restrained society snubs Aparajita for her social class, under the influence of a centuries-old enigma that still persists in the fifth-largest economy of the world. The fiasco rips her hope and crushes her childhood dream to study as she grows up in the street of ill repute.
Will Aparajita shrug off her melancholy past in order to break the stereotype? Will she ever pave her way as a bona fide citizen in a prestige-obsessed community?
Success gives a moment to cherish, whilst non-success gives a reason to gauge. Success often follows perseverant efforts taken after non-success. Rises and falls of fortune in life can sometimes provide the best cause to write.
Candid feelings are volatile and thoughts are buoyant. Before they diffuse, seize them in captivating words to mould your tale craftily.

Meervoudige geletterdheden is een term binnen de theorie van de geletterdheid en pedagogie en werd bedacht door de New London Group in de jaren '90. Dit perspectief sluit aan bij twee evoluties binnen hedendaagse invullingen van geletterdheid: het gebruik van taal in diverse settings en het gebruik van multimedia. De aanleiding hiervan is globalisering: enerzijds, de groei van verscheidende communicatie-vormen zoals het internet en digitale media en anderzijds meer talige en culturele diversiteit door transnationale migratie. Daarom moet een nieuwe invulling van geletterdheid gebruikt en ontwikkeld worden binnen onderwijs.

New London Group
De New London Group is een groep van 10 academici die in 1994 samen kwamen in New London (VS) om een nieuwe pedagogie te ontwikkelen die een antwoord formuleert op de uitdagingen waarvoor onderwijzers stonden in een meer geglobaliseerde omgeving met een grotere variëteit van media. Het bestaande model was gebaseerd op een visie die één taal, één cultuur centraal stelde, met een prioriteit voor het lezen en schrijven van gedrukte teksten. Deze 10 academici dachten vanuit hun verschillende expertise en achtergrond na over deze uitdagingen en schreven dit neer in een manifest, "A Pedagogy of Multiliteracies: Designing Social Futures", dat twee jaar later verscheen in 1996. Belangrijke denkers in deze groep zijn onder andere Bill Cope (Australië), Mary Kalantzis (Australië), Gunther Kress (VK), Norman Fairclough (VK) en James Gee (VS).

Impact op onderwijs
Globalisering heeft gezorgd voor een groei in immigratie, en dus een grotere diversiteit in achtergronden en talen in de school. Tegelijkertijd maakt de groei in mediatechnologieën het makkelijker om te communiceren over grotere afstanden. Dit roept de vraag op hoe leerlingen vakken die steunden op de standaardtaal en oude media zoals het boek moeten aangeleerd krijgen. De New London Group stelt dat deze oude invulling niet langer voldoet.

Diverse vormen van taal en media
De theorie van meervoudige geletterdheid vertrekt vanuit het idee dat we vandaag betekenis creëren en geven aan de wereld rondom ons op verscheidende manieren. Ze gebruiken de term "design" als een centraal concept om te wijzen op hoe mensen leerprocessen, praktijken en omgevingen ontwerpen. Hier kan men bouwen met een aantal "grondstoffen". Er is immers niet enkel het gedrukte woord, maar evengoed beeld, audio, ruimtelijk ontwerp, het gebruik van het lichaam of een combinatie van deze vormen in een multimodaal ontwerp. Dit biedt een beter inzicht in hoe leerkrachten en leerlingen hun leerprocessen kunnen ontwerpen en kunnen transformeren.

Een pedagogie van meervoudige geletterdheden
Verschillende publicaties, zoals Bill Cope & Mary Kalantzis' A Pedagogy of Multiliteracies. Learning by Design en Kathy Mills' The Multiliteracies Classroom dachten de specifieke pedagogie verder uit. Cope & Kalantzis stelden vier oriëntaties voor als onderdelen met elk een eigen perspectief op hoe kennis geconstrueerd wordt.
 Situated practice  Menselijke kennis is steeds gesitueerd en contextueel bepaald. In dit pedagogisch perspectief probeert men het leren op school te verweven met de ervaringen van leerlingen buiten de school. Hier staat dus het idee van kennis uit "ervaring" centraal.
 Overt instruction  Kennis uit de verschillende (academische) disciplines is vaak gebaseerd op fijne onderscheidingen tussen concepten. De leerling moet dus leren wat experts in een bepaald veld bedoelen met bepaalde theorieën. Dit kan aan de hand van leerboeken of onder leiding van de leerkracht, maar evengoed moeten leerlingen actief conceptualiseren wat ze uit ervaringen halen.
 Critical framing  Leren bevat ook een kritische component, door het analyseren van de functie van een bepaald fenomeen in onze maatschappij of het evalueren van macht.
 Transformed practice  Kennis moet ook toegepast worden. Dit kan ofwel binnen hetzelfde medium (bv. het schrijven van een academische tekst), maar ook een creatieve toepassing.

It was dark. I was not paying attention and I stepped into a puddle. My feet stank.
This sounds like life, doesn't it? But no, this was not a hypothetical theory. It happened. To me.
I sneaked out from my friend's wedding in Palembang, Indonesia, to have dinner near her house. It was a very long tedious ceremony where her house was packed with people. I doubt she would have missed my presence.
Eat where the locals eat, right?
So I did. The area was not brightly lit, we sat among everyone, feeling out of place because we were all dressed up.
We did not linger since we had a wedding to return to and left as soon as we were done.
Cut across the carpark as a shortcut.
And then my feet sank into mush and water engulfed my feet.
Was I going to sink? I jumped out as fast as I could, not sure what I had stepped in because it was dark and there was no lights in that area.
Only after stepping up to the car and under the streetlight, could I see and smell the damage done.
Like horribly, disgustingly, unimaginably stank.
I assume I had stepped into sewage water. Or at least water with all sorts of rubbish dumped into it.
My feet was covered in green bits, I shudder to imagine the source.
I tried to wash my feet desperately with water. It still stank AND I still had to get back to the wedding.
That return trip back was a traumatizing blur for me.
I had to beg my friend to borrow something from her to replace my shoe because I was NOT going to be wearing that pair of shoe back to the hotel.
That day, no matter how many times I scrubbed my feet, I still imagined my feet still stank.
So lesson learnt, eat before you go for a wedding if you know that it will be a long ceremony. But I didn't know it then, did I? I should have known to always expect the unexpected, especially when one is travelling. Oh, and to be wary of puddles in the dark…unfortunately.
Oh that sounds like a tough way to learn a lesson. Yuck!!
It was DISGUSTING with a major capital D!
I was cringing and making terrible faces on your behalf just reading it!
It seems you are posting a lot about embarrassing situations at the moment. I was at a new years party in England once I kissed a girl who had been eating peanuts I am allergic to them I ran to the toilet and threw… well. I returned and no one ever knew. Until now that is!
But yours is just simply HILARIOUS!! Hahaha..thanks for sharing! Did you ever tell the girl that you are allergic? Maybe hinted at her?
Gross. I'm always walking through a lagoon or a swamp but at least I know what I'm stepping it.
Ooooh, I bet you don't even want to know what it was for sure. Just scrub and keep scrubbing!
Lol. It can always be worse. When we were traveling in China, we heard a story of a girl, who'd fallen into one of the holes used as an "outhouse" in the rural areas. Worst part… she was on an overnight bus ride. I shudder just thinking about it.

Nautilus Welcomes SMarT Plus Commitment
The maritime professionals' union Nautilus International has welcomed the government's commitment to further investment in the Support for Maritime Training (SMarT) scheme.
The SMarT initiative, which has run for nearly 20 years, sees the government support the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the Merchant Navy Training Board courses for the training of officers, officer cadets and ratings, vital to the industry which brings the nation 95% of our imports and exports.
Nautilus has consistently campaigned to secure increased funding from the government for SMarT to support the cost of training UK-resident seafarers and to bring it in line with the aid provided by many other maritime nations.
The government have agreed to the SMarT Plus proposals developed by the union and UK Chamber of Shipping to double the annual SMarT budget, taking it to £30m which will double the number of officer trainees.
The SMarT Plus package encourages companies sponsoring officer trainees to provide them with a minimum period of employment once they have completed their training – which will enable them to secure the required sea time to progress towards their higher level Certificate of Competency (CoC).
Nautilus general secretary Mark Dickinson commented: "This is very welcome news and represents a huge victory for the Union's Charter for Jobs campaign. To have secured this in the current economic and political climate is a significant achievement and we are delighted that the government has listened to the strength of the case that we have put forward.
"We have worked closely with the shipowners to develop the SMarT Plus package in a way that will give the government commitments on training and employment targets whilst also addressing some of the obstacles which have so far held us back from delivering on those aims. We now look to the owners to deliver on those commitments.
"The money is literally small change down the back of the Department for Transport's (DfT) sofa – with £15m being barely the cost of building a mile of motorway – but it will make a massive difference to the supply and demand of British seafarers and could mark a watershed for UK maritime employment and training.
Dickinson continued: "As the DfT's own research has shown, this support will also deliver massive economic benefits with every £1 spent on SMarT generating almost £5 return to the economy, as well as safeguarding the supply of skilled and experienced seafarers which is so vital for the sustainability of the UK as a global maritime centre."
Nautilus's ongoing Charter for Jobs campaign continues to encourage maritime organisations and the UK government to work together in delivering decent work for British seafarers, in the interests of the nation's strategic and economic needs.

Home Social Media Football News Cristiano Ronaldo's Mother Reveals She Is 'Fighting For Her Life'
Cristiano Ronaldo's Mother Reveals She Is 'Fighting For Her Life'
Cristiano Ronaldo's mother has said that she is "fighting for her life" after admitting that she recently had surgery.
Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, 64, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and had a lump removed from her right breast following surgery and radiotherapy.
After her initial battle with breast cancer, the mother-of-four explained that she had surgery on her other breast and was undergoing a new round of radiotherapy.
"I was operated on another breast in Madrid, I've had radiotherapy and now I'm fighting for my life," she told a Portuguese TV station.
Aveiro's comments about her new surgery followed on from her talking about the rape allegations made against the Juventus forward.
"I have confidence in my son when it comes to what happened," she said.
"When she went there, it wasn't to play cards. It was to do something. I know the son I have."
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star donated £100,000 to the development of a cancer centre at the hospital that saved his mum's life in 2009.
His mother previously claimed that football saved the 34-year-old Portugal international from turning to drugs.
"If he hadn't dedicated himself to football, he would probably have fallen into drugs," she told El País (via Soccer Laduma).
Ronaldo's father, José Dinis Aveiro, passed away in 2005 at the age of 52 due to an alcoholism-related liver condition, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner only 20 at the time.
Speaking about José, Maria candidly explained the difficult experience she had with Ronaldo's father and his battle with alcoholism.
"He was drunk almost every day. I never really knew him well. I would have liked him to have been around more," she said.
"Although he never mistreated his children, I became his victim."
Ronaldo has been thriving in Serie A since his arrival at Juventus last year. He has made 22 appearances for the club and scored an impressive 17 times so far.
The Juventus ace picked up his first trophy at the Old Lady last month after he scored the winner against AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana.
It's not all brilliant for Ronaldo, though, especially after EA Sports dropped him from the new cover art for FIFA 19.

News and updates from today's Domestic Violence conference chaired by Jo Todd, Chief Executive, Respect.
Luke and Ryan opened the conference with a powerful talk urging for cultural changes in attitudes to how domestic violence and men controlling women and children is understood, after media reporting of the murder of their mother and sister portrayed their father as a "good man". They said there is a; "gross misunderstanding of domesitc abuse."
This presentation focusses particularly on the role of health and social care services in supporting victims of domestic violence and abuse. It begins by emphasising the fluid nature of risk, and the importance of not measuring risk at a single point in time. It talks about the help seeking model, and the importance of understanding that women's perception of risk, and willingness to disclose domestic violence and abuse, will depend on where they are in this process. The single biggest indicator of risk is whether the woman feels frightened by her partner's behaviour.
As set out in the NICE guidance, health and social care professionals have a vital role to play in identifying, and supporting victims of, domestic violence and abuse. It is, therefore, important to understand the barriers both to survivors disclosing their abuse, and to professionals asking about abuse. Research (Rose et al, BJP 2011) shows that the main barriers to enquiry by mental health professionals, e.g. are lack of knowledge and expertise in the area, and thinking that it was not part of their role. These findings are particularly relevant a 69% of women with serious mental health issues have experienced DV in their lifetime(Khalifeh et al 2014) , and people with extensive experience of violence and abuse are five times more likely to experience a common mental disorder than those with little or no abuse (UK Psychiatric Morbidity Survey 2007).

Conor Anthony McGregor (ur. 14 lipca 1988 w Dublinie) – irlandzki zawodnik mieszanych sztuk walki (MMA) wagi piórkowej, lekkiej i półśredniej, mistrz Cage Warriors w wadze piórkowej i lekkiej (2012) oraz Ultimate Fighting Championship w wadze piórkowej (2015) i lekkiej (2016). Znany z niekonwencjonalnego stylu walki oraz nokautującego ciosu.

Wczesne lata
Urodził się w Dublinie w dzielnicy Crumlin jako syn Margaret McGregor i Anthony'ego J. "Tony'ego" McGregora. Ma dwie siostry, Erin i Aoife. Początkowo był pasjonatem piłki nożnej i grał w zespole Lourdes Celtic Football Club. Piłka nożna jednak szybko znudziła się McGregorowi, który w wieku 12 lat postanowił rozpocząć treningi w lokalnym klubie bokserskim.

W dzieciństwie był ofiarą znęcania się i był bity przez innych uczniów swojej szkoły. W wieku 15 lat zaczął uprawiać Kickboxing i trenować Jujutsu. W 2006 roku wraz z rodzicami przeprowadził się do innej dzielnicy Dublina – Lucan, gdzie ukończył szkołę Gaelcholáiste Coláiste Cois Life, jednak miał problemy ze zdobyciem pracy. Dzięki koneksjom ojca udało mu się jednak zdobyć posadę hydraulika. W 2006 roku poznał zawodnika UFC, Toma Egana, z którym zaczął trenować. Pomimo tego, że pracował nawet do 12 godzin dziennie, udawało mu się znaleźć czas na regularne, kilkugodzinne treningi MMA kilka razy w tygodniu.

17 lutego 2007, jako 18-latek zadebiutował w amatorskiej walce przeciwko Kieranowi Campbellowi, którego pokonał przez techniczny nokaut. Po tej walce zaproponowano mu profesjonalny kontrakt w Irish Cage of Truth Promotion. W 2008 roku zaczął trenować pod okiem trenera Johna Kavanagha. Rzucił wtedy pracę jako hydraulik i żył z zasiłku dla bezrobotnych, na który był skazany aż do 22 roku życia. Rodzicom, którzy byli rozczarowani tym, że McGregor nie miał pracy, obiecywał, że w swoje 25 urodziny będzie milionerem.

Kariera MMA

Wczesna kariera
W MMA zadebiutował 9 marca 2008 na lokalnej gali w Dublinie, pokonując Gary'ego Morrisa przez techniczny nokaut.

Pierwszą zawodową porażkę zanotował 28 czerwca, przegrywając przez poddanie z Artemijen Sitienkowem. Po tej porażce rozważał zakończenie kariery w sztukach walki, jednak za namową swojej matki i trenera, postanowił ją kontynuować.

Cage Warriors
9 października 2010 uległ Josephowi Duffy'emu na gali Cage Warriors 39, poddając się wskutek duszenia rękoma. Od 2011 do 2012 stoczył osiem wygranych pojedynków, m.in. z Arturem Sowińskim na Celtic Gladiator 2, oraz został mistrzem Cage Warriors w dwóch kategoriach wagowych – piórkowej (02.06.2012) oraz lekkiej (31.12.2012), pokonując Dave'a Hilla i Ivana Buchingera.

UFC
Po sukcesach w rodzimej Irlandii, w lutym 2013 podpisał kontrakt z największą organizacją na świecie – Ultimate Fighting Championship. Zadebiutował 6 kwietnia na gali UFC on Fuel TV: Mousasi vs. Latifi, nokautując Marcusa Brimagea i otrzymując za to bonus finansowy za "nokaut wieczoru".

17 sierpnia na UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen wygrał z Hawajczykiem Maxem Hollowayem na punkty, mimo iż od 2. rundy walczył z uszkodzonym więzadłem krzyżowym przednim.

19 lipca 2014 stoczył wygrany pojedynek w walce wieczoru gali UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao w swoim rodzinnym Dublinie, pokonując Diego Brandão przez TKO.

18 stycznia 2015 na UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Siver pokonał Niemca Dennisa Sivera przed czasem, po czym otrzymał szansę stoczenia walki o mistrzostwo z ówczesnym mistrzem UFC wagi piórkowej Brazylijczykiem José Aldo.

Do walki miało dojść 11 lipca 2015 lecz na dwa tygodnie przed galą Aldo złamał żebro podczas jednego z treningów i musiał wycofać się z pojedynku. Ogłoszono zatem zastępstwo w postaci Chada Mendesa, a stawką było tymczasowe mistrzostwo. McGregor ostatecznie pokonał przez TKO Mendeza na 3 sekundy przed końcem 2. rundy.

Na gali UFC 194 znokautował José Aldo w 13 sekundzie pojedynku zdobywając tytuł niekwestionowanego mistrza UFC w wadze piórkowej.

5 marca 2016 na UFC 196 miał się zmierzyć o pas mistrzowski wagi lekkiej z Brazylijczykiem Rafaelem dos Anjosem, lecz na jedenaście dni przed zaplanowaną walką dos Anjos złamał stopę na jednym z treningów i musiał wycofać się ze starcia. Dzień później włodarze UFC ogłosili zastępstwo w postaci Nathana Diaza. Walka odbyła się w limicie kategorii półśredniej (-77 kg). Nieoczekiwanie McGregor przegrał z Diazem przez poddanie w 2. rundzie, notując pierwszą porażkę w UFC. Za tę walkę Irlandczyk otrzymał rekordową gażę w postaci 1 miliona USD, która była w tamtym czasie największą otrzymaną przez zawodnika MMA.

Pod koniec marca 2016 ogłoszono rewanż McGregora z Diazem na 9 lipca 2016 (UFC 200) lecz 19 kwietnia Irlandczyk opublikował na Twitterze bardzo tajemniczy wpis:
"Zdecydowałem się przejść na emeryturę młodo. Dzięki za pieniądze. Do zobaczenia później." Po opublikowaniu wpisu nawiązała się burza medialna na linii McGregor – UFC. Głównym powodem sporu okazało się niewywiązywanie się z ustaleń kontraktowych przez Irlandczyka który postanowił nie uczestniczyć na konferencjach prasowych promujących jubileuszową galę UFC 200. W związku z tym prezydent UFC Dana White ogłosił, że McGregor zostaje usunięty z rozpiski gali numer 200.

Mimo licznych perturbacji z McGregorem, po czasie ogłoszono jeszcze raz rewanż z Diazem na 20 sierpnia 2016 (UFC 202). Ponownie walka odbyła się w limicie wagi półśredniej. W rewanżu, według sędziów lepszy okazał się Irlandczyk, którzy po pięciu rundach punktowali 48-47, 47-47, 48-47 na jego korzyść. McGregor otrzymał ponownie rekordową gaże w postaci 3 milionów USD podstawowej wypłaty.

13 listopada 2016 na gali UFC 205 która odbyła się po raz pierwszy w Nowym Jorku, Connor McGregor pokonał mistrza wagi lekkiej Eddiego Alvareza, zdobywając mistrzostwo w drugiej kategorii wagowej. Gala odbyła się na słynnej hali sportowej Madison Square Garden. McGregor stał się pierwszym zawodnikiem w UFC, który dzierżył dwa mistrzowskie pasy w tym samym czasie.

26 listopada 2016 zwakował pas UFC wagi piórkowej, skupiając się na pojedynkach w wadze lekkiej.

7 kwietnia 2018 został oficjalnie pozbawiony pasa wagi lekkiej w związku z brakiem woli do obrony mistrzostwa. Nowym mistrzem wagi lekkiej został natomiast Rosjanin Chabib Nurmagomiedow, który pokonał w walce o zwakowane mistrzostwo Ala Iaquintę.

6 października 2018 w Las Vegas podczas UFC 229 doszło do walki McGregora z Chabibem Nurmagomiedowem, którą Irlandczyk przegrał przez poddanie (dźwignia na kark) w czwartej rundzie.

Wziął udział w sesji zdjęciowej dla magazynów: "Sports Illustrated" (29 lutego 2016), "Men's Health" (w maju 2016 w edycji serbskiej, we wrześniu 2016 w edycji brytyjskiej, w lipcu 2017 dla edycji Singapuru), "Men's Fitness" (w lipcu 2016, w kwietniu dla edycji RPA), "Muscle & Fitness" (w listopadzie 2016 w edycji brytyjskiej), "GQ" (w marcu 2017 w edycji brytyjskiej, w maju 2017 w edycji hiszpańskiej i rosyjskiej) i "The Body Issue" (ESPN w lipcu 2016).
26 marca 2019 roku po raz drugi ogłosił zakończenie kariery.

18 stycznia 2020, powrócił na gali UFC 246. McGregor już w 40 sekundzie pierwszej rundy odprawił ciosami (TKO), Donalda Cerrone. Była to jego pierwsza wygrana od 2016.

6 czerwca 2020 przez media społecznościowe po raz trzeci ogłosił zakończenie kariery.

24 stycznia 2021 pomimo wcześniejszych deklaracji powrócił do oktagonu na rewanżową walkę z Dustinem Poirerem. Do pojedynku doszło na gali UFC 257 w Abu Zabi. Tym razem przegrał przez TKO w drugiej rundzie.

10 lipca 2021 na gali UFC 264 w Las Vegas po raz trzeci zmierzył się z Dustinem Poirierem. Przegrał przez kontuzję nogi w pierwszej rundzie.

Na początku lutego 2023 roku ogłoszono, że wraz z Michaelem Chandlerem będzie trenerem w 31. sezonie programu The Ultimate Fighter. Po jego zakończeniu dojdzie do pojedynku trenerów podczas jednej z numerowanych gal.

Biznes
W 2018 r. McGregor z powodzeniem wprowadził na rynek własną markę whiskey "Proper No. Twelve".

Biorąc pod uwagę walki McGregora, kontrakty sponsorskie oraz inne źródła dochodu, szacuje się, że od 2013 roku Irlandczyk zarobił łącznie około 50 mln dolarów.

Titans' conference calls
Tennessee head coach Jeff Fisher and quarterback Vince Young spoke to the Houston media on Wednesday morning during their weekly conference calls.
Head coach Jeff Fisher
(on different defenses QB Vince Young has seen) "I think each defense that he faces is slightly different, but it appears that people are trying to do similar things. One of the things that's helping is that we've been able to run the football in the last several weeks. Teams are taking the philosophy to stop the run first and then in passing situations do what you can to handle that. Things have settled down, they're not as unorthodox as they were earlier in the season. He (Young) faced the 3-4 scheme at Dallas in his first start and the Indy defense at Indy which is very challenging and then (assistant head coach – defense) Coach (Gregg) Williams, of course, at Washington did some different of things. He saw a variety of things, but things have settled down for the most part."
(on what it will take to trade QB Vince Young in the off-season) "To trade for who? I'm sorry."
(on trading for FB Ahmard Hall) "I'm sure we're going to get Ahmard Hall under a long term contract after the things he's done here this year. If you're talking about Vince or you're talking about Ahmard Hall, you need to be a little more specific."
(on trading Young) "I think Houston has done a real good job with personnel in the last couple of years so it looks like they're coming on."
(on what he's going to tell Young before a game this big for him) "If this was the first time we were playing the Texans I think it'd be a little different because I know the first match up, the first meeting against Houston was meaningful to Vince. Judging from the fact that it's not, it's the second time I'm confident that he's going to look at this as a business trip and just simply do what he would ordinarily do on a road trip. He's been here, he's obviously looking forward to the game and his success on Sunday has been directly related to his preparation week and he will endure a distraction-free preparation week if we have anything to do with it."
(on doing something different to make it distraction free) "I think last week was a big challenge for Vince coming off the comeback against the Giants. I think he handled it very well. His experience over the last five or six weeks has been varied and I think he's handled each week and he's settling in. there are times when you can kind of sense that this time of the year, a young player specifically rookies are tiring, a little bit overwhelmed. But nothing has affected Vince I think he's had a great attitude through the whole process."
(on being surprised at what Young has done) "I'm not surprised only because we see the understanding on the practice field. He's very poised, he doesn't rattle, and he has fun. I'm sure, and I've heard that he's joking around laughing in the huddle when we need to make a play to win the game. He doesn't panic and I think it's that poise that he has and that confidence that he has that allows him to make the plays. One of the things that I think has happened and I have not spoken to Vince about this, I think subconsciously there was so much said regarding the difference between the college defensive players and the NFL players. Time after time, 'Vince can do those things with his legs and make people miss at the collegiate level, but the speed of the (NFL) athletes he's just not going to be able to do that.' He's proven over the last two or three weeks that he can do that and I think that's a big part of taking a step as a quarterback. Now he all of a sudden has this tremendous confidence in his legs and his ability to pick up, make a play. He converted six third down attempts for us with his legs last week, which was very, very difficult on the Colts defense, but certainly was significant as far as our opportunity to win the game."
(on concern with Young running too much) "No, I don't because he's made throws the last couple of weeks that are very hard to make. They're timing throws with small windows, he knows that if he gets a flash of daylight or gets a crease and he needs four yards on third-and-four then he can get up and get it and get out real quickly and keep the drive alive."
(on truth to running game picking up when he played Hall) "We were impressed with Ahmard really since the day he got here. Keep in mind that he missed all the OTAs, he missed everything and basically just showed up at training camp without really any, much understanding of what we're doing. (He) applied himself and learned, he's very physical and very, very serious about his job and he's an emotional player, he's an inspirational player and the guys love him when he's on the field. He's not playing every snap because we vary our personnel groupings, but when he's out there he's very productive for us."
(on meaning of TE Bo Scaife with two other tight ends out) "Well Bo has really stepped up. Bo has made plays all year. He made plays last year for that matter, but he's versatile and can play all three positions. He's got a very, very good relationship with Vince, as one can expect, not only on the field but off the field. They push each other, they motivate each other and they also are beginning to show signs of really getting on the same page, not only when you're on schedule, but when you get off schedule. For example, in the Baltimore game Vince was tied up in the pocket and he was going down with a sack and he just flipped the ball to Bo and Bo was nearby and ran it 20 yards for a touchdown. They're getting on the same page and that's going to be a good thing for us."
(on importance of getting the crowd out of the game to get to a quick start) "I find it hard to believe, David's numbers are good, his completion percentage is nearly 70%, his quarterback rate is good. Yes, he's been sacked a few of times but there's been some injuries on the offensive line and I just think there would be a lot of teams who would have interest in David because of what he's capable of doing and I just think they need to understand they need to be patient. The running game's getting going, and when you can run the football it makes the quarterback play better. The defense, obviously, is sixth or seventh in the league over the last seven weeks and really come on. The quarterback play is really a by part of the people around him and if everybody continues to carry their load David will pull out of whatever the perceived slump their in."
(on difference between QB David Carr in 2004 and now) "I think you have to look at David Carr. David Carr is an improved quarterback over where he was the last couple of years. I think Coach Kubiak has done a nice job, they understand what he can do and they're giving him opportunities to do that. It was just several weeks ago, how many straight completions did he have 24? 25? 22. Quarterback play in this league is difficult. Even the best guys, the guys who have been doing this forever are going to have an off week or two. I think David's improved significantly."
(on who the fans cheered for when QB Steve McNair was there) "There was no doubt they were cheering for the Titans. There were a number of Ravens' fans here, but that's common with every 'team' that comes in, there's fan supporting the visiting team. But they clearly were in support of our team."
(on free time Young might have when he gets here to visit) "We stay busy really from the time we land until the time we take off. There's quiet time after the meetings where players are required to stay in the hotel, stay in there rooms so there will be a couple of hours, but I'm quite confident that Vince will be focused and prepared to execute this game plan."
(on what last minute wins do for their confidence) "We lost to Baltimore, we had a kick blocked, had a chance to win that game. We've had a number of games this year, we've had four games where we've had the ball in our hands in possession at the end to win and did not. I think the first game, the Colts game up there I think it was a step we had to come off a terrible, terrible against the Cowboys and came right back and nearly won that game. Since then things have been building, the reasons for that are football related. We're running the football, our offensive line is playing consistent football each and every week, and the quarterback play is improving each and ever week. Once you get beyond the football the actions of those the players are trusting each other and they like each other, they've working well together and they're having fun, those components give you a chance to win."
(on Bud Adams' feelings about this game) "He's pleased with the turnaround, the progress and he's excited to see that and he's excited to see the younger players becoming more productive. He understands we've got a young team and he knows we're all working hard at it and I think he's proud of this team right now because we've won three straight, five out of the last seven despite the tough start and he sees improvement, that's the bottom line, that's what he wanted to see from this club this year."
(on LB DeMeco Ryans) "He's very productive, he's a sideline-to-sideline player. If you get a ten point checklist of linebacker he could probably check them all off, he possesses all those qualities. We really liked him coming out. He was a great pick for them. Obviously he's running the defense, he's extremely versatile, he stays on the field and he's a playmaker. He's going to be a very good player."
(on what it takes for Vince to not get above the team when all the attention is about him) "The most important thing to Vince is his teammates and that'll never happen. He treats them all the same, all with respect and enjoys being around all of them. He would never put himself above the team even though I think there's a tendency from the outside perspective to do so, he would never allow it."
(on a contract extension for him) "No there's been no discussion as the organization has stated and I've stated numerous times. I'm confident that things will get worked out. Our plan is to wait until the season's over to put things together."
(on wanting to be back coaching the Titans) "I've never thought otherwise. I've never given any consideration to coaching any place else in my mind."
(on knowing K Rob Bironas could kick a 60-yard field goal) "Yes, I knew he had the leg strength. The accuracy is obviously the issue and there's a lot of components to executing that kick. He had just a slight wind behind him. It was a great kick. I can't say anything more than that, there were so many things working against him: the footing, the turf, he was kicking right off the middle of the logo, which had been week after week after week. he had a lot of things working against him and he hit it perfect. He probably had a couple more yards to spare."
(on Young scoring 50 points this week) "Each and every week it's a challenge, that's of great deal of respect for the (Texans) defense. The defense played pretty good football against us in the first game. We took advantage of some turnovers, had a defensive score. He understands that he's going to have to play better the second time around. That's one of the things I was looking forward to watching, Vince's first go-round at division opponent at the second time in his career and that was last week. it was an opportunity to go back, look at tapes of the first Indy game and correct things, have a better feel for what they're doing and then improve and he did so. That's the same approach he is taking. As far as putting 50 points on the board, no there's no guarantees."
(on turning Young lose after Carr's last performance) "David, if you recall, was taken from the game and Sage came in and threw for several hundred yards against us. It was not a choice by us to hold Vince back, we put as much points as we could on the board."
(on what CB Pacman Jones means to his team) "He's exceptional with the ball in his hands so we've just got to find ways to get it (to him). If he continues to have more success as a punt returner, more and more punts are going to land out of bounds. You saw last week that we had him return a couple of kickoffs, we have to find ways as a staff to try to get the ball in his hands."
(on presence of WR Andre Johnson to his defense) "Anytime you're competing against the top receiver in the National Football League you've got to be smart and you've got to be aware of where he is and what his strengths are and it's not an easy thing. He definitely challenges. He's one catch and one step away from going the distance because he's a very, very explosive receiver."
QB Vince Young
(on being excited about this weekend) "I'm alright. I just got to get my preparation right now, so that's pretty much it. I'm excited though, but I'm trying to get ready to play."
(on the first game against the Texans being just another game for the team) "It's always just another game. It's just another game as a team, the Tennessee Titans we're just trying to get better and better as a team and finish the season like we want to. We don't want to finish the season like we started. That's basically what we're trying to do over here is get better and better each week and go out there and play that game. If we're watching film we're looking real good, guys it's going to take an extra effort down field and things like that. So we want to continue to get better like that."
(on staying grounded with the support he's getting) "I'm really excited. It's the little bit of respect that I have, that they have for me and as well as that I have for the fans that I have gotten. I love them a whole lot for that. I just want to go out there and have a good football game and everything else."
(on knowing how much talk about him there is in Houston) "I've got friends and my uncle and them are down there and they listen too. It sounds like a good vibe down there. You've got fans calling and cussing and stuff on the radio."
* (on how he feels to have fans cheering for him on the road)* "It's a good thing. When you see Steve (McNair) come back to our field the guys showed how much they respect him. I just don't want it to be like they did T.O. (Terrell Owens) when he went back to Philly. It's good to know that there are fans and the city you're from, your hometown, the people, the Houstonian people, are behind you 100%."
(on him wanting to play better this week than ever) "I just want to be in the game and come out with a victory. That's it. Right now I really feel like Houston is playing better on defense so I've got to keep my eyes open because they're doing a lot in the blitz game and they're getting a lot of turnovers. So I've just want to take care of the ball and manage the game and win. And that's basically it, I don't want to go out there and be too excited because I want to do the same thing I've been doing each week to get better and better playing the game."
(on noticing different things that defenses have done) "Basically we come to the sidelines to adjust too, I mean we work on something all week and then we do something different, so that pretty much happens all the time. From (quarterback coach) Coach Johnson to (QB) Kerry Collins they help me out a whole lot of seeing the game out there."
(on defenses doing things just for him) "No, they're not throwing too much because every time they try to throw something at me I either use my legs to break it or to deliver a good pass down field. Them guys are a particular lineage trying to let them beat me with my run right now."
(on why the Titans seem to play better when they're behind) "I just think back at home all of them are comeback games or behind games. I feel they kind of motivate me to where I'm at today, comebacks and everything like that. And just believing on my teammates and believing in the calls that (offensive coordinator) Coach Norm Chow is calling and things like that and just go out here and pick up the game."
(on the most difficult adjustment) "Just being patient. Being patient from basically not trying to force things and trying to go to the big play all the time. You've got to be real patient in the NFL because we have some good defensive coordinators and you've got good defensive players out there."
(on a defense spying a guy on him) "They always got somebody spying me."
(on any bothering him more than others) "I just feel like on one on one I have a chance of beating any guy. The guy makes a tackle, but at the same time my confidence level is so high I'm always trying to make a guy miss or trying to beat him any way I can."
(on being busy once they get here) "Yeah I don't want to pretty much get it out of my mind out of the game. So I understand what coach (Fisher) is saying. There's going to be a lot of distractions and things going on when we get there. At the same time, my family I'll see them during the game and after the game. I mean before the game and after the game and give out a shot out to all the fans and the Houstonian people."
(on comparing this week's feelings to the Rose Bowl) "Yeah, in a way because I'm from Houston. I told my teammates earlier today while we were in a meeting that we need this one, I need this one and they understand. Anybody's that's on a football team and they're going home to their hometown team they want to win that game a lot. And the guys understand how I feel about that."
(on Reliant Stadium being like a home stadium to him) "Pretty much it is, whenever I go to that stadium to play a lot of times we were there it was pretty packed with all our Longhorn fans so right now it should be both, Texans fans and Houston fans."
(on inviting Longhorn fans to cheer him on) "No, everybody that's a fan of the Tennessee Titans to come out and watch us."
(on FB Ahmard Hall) "Ahmard Hall, he is an animal. He's one of the best fullbacks right now in the NFL. He's running the ball, he's blocking, and he's catching. Everybody looks for someone like that and I'm just honored to play with him right now."
(on remarks after draft on beating the Texans) "I just want to go out there and play my game. That's it. I don't want to start no shouting because I still got friends on that side of the ball."
(on backing down from his word) "I'm not backing down, I'm just saying I just want to go down there and play a good game and get on out of there."
(on LB DeMeco Ryans) "He's a move around guy, makes it happen. I mean we've got some different things, just keep our eye on him."
(on Ryans being like him as a linebacker) "He's got a nose for the ball, I know that. He's got great speed and he makes plays. He's a phenomenal back run and he's going to get better and better as the season go on and as the future go on."
(on sleeping good on Saturday) "Yeah I'm going to sleep good."
(on this sleep being any different) "It really depends on what hotel we're staying at and how the hotel bed feels."
(on playing the game out on his mind ahead of time) "I always visualize the game. I always do that."
(on when he does that) "Basically when I get to the locker room when I'm looking over my plays and teammates just trying to visualize what coach is going to call and when I get out there what kind of defense they're going to try to run on me. I always do that."
