Bullying

Bullying

1.    Definition

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems. 

In order to be considered bullying, the behavior must be aggressive and include:

·         An Imbalance of Power: Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.

·         Repetition: Bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once.

Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.

2.  Types of Bullying 

There are three types of bullying:

1)      Verbal bullying is saying or writing mean things. Verbal bullying includes:

a)    Teasing

b)   Name-calling

c)    Inappropriate sexual comments

d)   Taunting

e)    Threatening to cause harm

2)      Social bullying, sometimes referred to as relational bullying, involves hurting someone’s reputation or relationships. Social bullying includes:

a)    Leaving someone out on purpose

b)   Telling other children not to be friends with someone

c)    Spreading rumors about someone

d)   Embarrassing someone in public

3)      Physical bullying involves hurting a person’s body or possessions. Physical bullying includes:

a)    Hitting/kicking/pinching

b)   Spitting

c)    Tripping/pushing

d)   Taking or breaking someone’s things

e)    Making mean or rude hand gestures

3.    Where and When Bullying Happens 

Bullying can occur during or after school hours. While most reported bullying happens in the school building, a significant percentage also happens in places like on the playground or the bus. It can also happen travelling to or from school, in the youth’s neighborhood, or on the Internet.

4.    Frequency of Bullying 

There are two sources of federally collected data on youth bullying:

·         The 2010–2011 School Crime Supplement (National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics) indicates that, nationwide, 28% of students in grades 6–12 experienced bullying.

·         The 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) indicates that, nationwide, 20% of students in grades 9–12 experienced bullying.

Research on cyberbullying is growing. However, because kids’ technology use changes rapidly, it is difficult to design surveys that accurately capture trends.

My Inspiring Person

Colonel Sanders

Do you know Colonel Sanders?  Colonel Harland David Sanders was an American Bussinessman, best know for founding Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Sanders held a number of jobs in his early life, such as fireman, insurance salesman and run filling stations. He began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky.

Sanders was born on 9th September 1890 in a four-room house, 3 miles (5 km) from East of Henryvile. His father was a his leg after a fall., Then, Sanders worked as a btcher n Henryville  for  two years. When he was 10, he began to work as a farmhand for local farmerS Charlie Norris and Henry Monk. After that, he took a job painting horse carriages in Indianapolis. When he was 14, he movwd to Southern Indiana to work as a farmland for Sam Wilson for two years.

Sanders falsfied his date of birth and enlisted in United States Army in November 1906, completing his service commitment as a teamster in Cuba. After two months, Sanders moved to Jasper, Alabama where he got a job to clean out the ash pans of trains from The Northern Alabama Railroad (a division of The Southern Railroad when they had finished their run. After that, he found a work as fireman in The Illinois Central Railroad, then he and his family when they had finished their run. After that, he found a work as fireman in The Illinois Central Railroad, then he and his family when they had finished their run. After that, he found a work as fireman in The Illinois Central Railroad, then he and his family moved to Jackson, Tennessee.

After that, Sanders moved back with his mother in Henryville, and went to work as a laborer on The Pennysylvania Railroad. Sanders was eventually fired for insubordination. In 1920, Sanders established a ferry boat company, which operated a boat on The Ohio River between Jeffersonville and Louisville.

In 1930, The Shell Oil Company offered Sanders a service station in Corbin, Kentucky rent free, whreby he paid them a percentage of sales.

Then, he searches for a restaurant which wants to buy his recipe. He searches for one thousand and nine until he found one restaurant which wants to buy his recipe.

Then, he made the Fisrt KFC Franchise and KFC be a worldwide-reputation restaurant.

Why I choose him as my inspiring person? First, he is a hard-worker man. He was turned down one thousand and nine times before his chicken recipe was accepted one! How many of us will keep knocking on doors when we have received 1000 rejections? I presume not many! This is why there aren’t many successess like Colonel Sanders. Second, It's never too late for a persistent struggle. It's never too late to decide to never give up. Keep on knocking. Keep asking. Keep looking.

Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena Experience

Do you know what is Dewa Athena? Dewa Athena is one of sports competition in 3 Senior High School. There are many kind of sports that played in Dewa Athena. The sports are football, basketball, tug of war, wrestling, badminton, and even FIFA games competition. The opening ceremony of the competition was held in last Saturday, 15^th of February 2014. I was there with my friend from X Science 3, like Ardji, Luqman, and Ilham. In the opening of that competition, there is Senior High School, “Kang Azfar” and 3 Senior High School, Mr. Encang. We were ordered by the senior to have a line in every class. We followed the instructions and they checked our absent every class. They said it would be sent to every class’ homeroom, but some of my friends wasn’t there. They were at school, school canteen, and even in their own houses. After were absent by the seniors, The Headmaster of 3 Senior High School, Mr. Encang opened the competition with some few words, followed by The OSIS Leader of 3 Senior High School, “Kang Azfar”.

After that, there was the match between 2016 generation and 2015 generation. One of my friends was in that match. Her name was Winona. After that, there was a match between X Science 2 and XI Science 8. It was very entertaining and very stressful. Both teams have many chances, but they were wasted by the players. But XI Science 8 could convert one the chances into a goal. After that, X science struggled to get a goal to synchronize the situation. But until long whistle was blown by the referee, there wasn’t another goal in the match.

           

At 01.15 P.M, the team from my class played a match with XI Science 1. XI Science 1 have many chances dan they scored 5 times to the team from my class. It was very dissapointing for my class. But, at the last moment before the long whistle blown by the referee, my friend, Walid scored an entertained goal for our team.

           

After that I went back to school because I had to attend the Mathematic Olympiad Exercise. I also attend Dewa Athena Competition. I attend FIFA Game Competition, but I lost with score 3-1 from X Science 6. I led the match from the goal from Karim Benzema. But after that, I played defensive and used counter attack strategy. It was the mistake. I didn’t correctly the strength of X Science 6 which played with Borussia Dortmund, a team that their strikers could fast came back to the backline of the team, even my counter attack from my team, Real Madrid was useless. Because of that mistake, X Science 8 could broke my goal for three times. It was very shock for me, who controlled the game in the 30 minutes.  He could broke my goal three time in the minute of 45, 54, and 78. It was very amazing performace from X Science 8.

I think that’s all for my writing of Dewa Athena. Goodbye you all.

Inspiring Person

Colonel Sanders

Picture 1.1 Sanders in October 1972

Colonel Harland David Sanders (September 9, 1890 – December 16, 1980) was an American businessman, best known for founding Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), and later acting as the company's goodwill ambassador and symbol.

Sanders held a number of jobs in his early life, such as a fireman, insurance salesman and running filling stations. He began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during The Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of the restaurant franchising concept, and the first KFC franchise opened in Utah in 1952. The company's rapid expansion across the United States and overseas saw it overwhelm him however, and in 1964 he sold the company to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown, Jr. and Jack C. Massey for $2 million.

1.        Early life and education

Sanders was born on September 9, 1890 in a four-room home 3 miles (5 km) east of Henryville, Indiana. He was the oldest of three children born to Wilbur David and Margaret Ann (née Dunlevy) Sanders. The family attended the Advent Christian Church. The family were of mostly Irish and English ancestry.

His father was a mild and affectionate man who worked his 80 acre farm, until he broke his leg after a fall. He then worked as a butcher in Henryville for two years. One summer afternoon in 1895, he came home with a fever and died later that day. Sanders' mother obtained work in a tomato-canning factory; and the young Harland was required to look after and cook for his siblings.When he was 10 he began to work as a farmhand for local farmers Charlie Norris and Henry Monk.

Sanders' mother remarried in 1902, and the family moved to Greenwood, Indiana. Sanders argued with his stepfather, so in 1903 he moved out, dropped out of school, and went to live and work on a nearby farm. He then took a job painting horse carriages in Indianapolis. When he was 14 he moved to southern Indiana to work as a farmhand for Sam Wilson for two years. In 1906, with his mother's approval, he left the area to live with his uncle in New Albany, Indiana. His uncle worked for the streetcar company, and got Sanders a job as a conductor.

2.        Early career

Sanders falsified his date of birth and enlisted in the United States Army in November 1906, completing his service commitment as a teamster in Cuba. He was honorably discharged after three months and in 1907 moved to Sheffield, Alabama, where an uncle lived. His brother Clarence had also moved there, in order to avoid his stepfather. His uncle worked for the Southern Railroad, and got Sanders a job there as a blacksmith's helper in the workshops. After two months, Sanders moved to Jasper, Alabama where he got a job cleaning out the ash pans of trains from the Northern Alabama Railroad (a division of the Southern Railroad) when they had finished their run. Sanders progressed to become a fireman while still only 16.

In 1909 Sanders found laboring work with the Norfolk and Western Railway. Whilst working on the railroad, he met Josephine King of Jasper, Alabama. They would go on to have a son, Harland, Jr., who died young in 1932 from infected tonsils, and two daughters, Margaret Sanders and Mildred Sanders Ruggles.   He then found work as a fireman on The Illinois Central Railroad, and he and his family moved to Jackson, Tennessee.  Meanwhile, Sanders studied law by correspondence at night through the La Salle Extension University.  Sanders lost his job at Illinois after brawling with a work colleague.  While Sanders moved to work for the Rock Island Railroad, Josephine and the children went to live with her parents.  After a while, Sanders began to practice law in Little Rock for three years, and he earned enough fees for his family to move with him.  His legal career ended after he got engaged in a courtroom brawl with his own client.

After that, Sanders moved back with his mother in Henryville, and went to work as a laborer on the Pennsylvania Railroad.  In 1916, the family moved to Jeffersonville, where Sanders got a job selling life insurance for the Prudential Life Insurance Company.  Sanders was eventually fired for insubordination.  He moved to Louisville and got a salesman job with Mutual Benefit Life of New Jersey.

In 1920, Sanders established a ferry boat company, which operated a boat on the Ohio River between Jeffersonville and Louisville. He canvassed for funding, becoming a minority shareholder himself, and was appointed secretary of the company. The ferry was an instant success. In around 1922 he got a job as secretary at the Columbus, Indiana Chamber of Commerce. He admitted to not being very good at the job, and resigned after less than a year. Sanders cashed in his ferry boat company shares for $22,000 and used the money to establish a company manufacturing acetylene lamps. The venture failed after Delco interoduce an electric lamp that they sold on credit.

Sanders moved to Winchester, Kentucky, to work as a salesman for the Michelin Tire Company. In 1924, Michelin closed their New Jersey plant, and Sanders lost his job.  In 1924, by chance, he met the general manager of Standard Oil of Kentucky, who asked him to run a service station in Nicholasville. In 1930, the station closed as a result of the Great Depression.

3.        Later career

In 1930, the Shell Oil Company offered Sanders a service station in Corbin, Kentucky rent free, whereby he paid them a percentage of sales. Sanders began to cook chicken dishes and other meals such as country ham and steaks for customers. Since he did not have a restaurant, he served customers in his adjacent living quarters. He was commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel in 1935 by Kentucky governor Ruby Laffoon. His local popularity grew, and in 1939 food critic Duncan Hines visited Sanders's restaurant and included it inAdventures in Good Eating, his guide to restaurants throughout the US. The entry read:

Corbin, KY.   Sanders Court and Café
41 — Jct. with 25, 25 E. ½ Mi. N. of Corbin. Open all year except Xmas.
A very good place to stop en route to Cumberland Falls and the Great Smokies. Continuous 24-hour service. Sizzling steaks, fried chicken, country ham, hot biscuits. L. 50¢ to $1; D., 60¢ to $1

Picture 3.1 The restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky where Colonel Sanders developed Kentucky Fried Chicken

In July 1939 Sanders acquired a motel in Asheville, North Carolina. His Corbin restaurant and motel was destroyed in a fire in November 1939, and Sanders had it rebuilt as a motel with a 140 seat restaurant. By July 1940, Sanders had finalized his "Secret Recipe" for frying chicken in a pressure fryer that cooked the chicken faster than pan frying. As World War II broke out, gas was rationed, and as the tourists dried up, Sanders was forced to close his Asheville motel. He went to work as a restaurant supervisor in Seattle until the latter part of 1942. He later ran cafeterias for the government at an Ordinance Works in Tennessee, followed by a job as an assistant manager at a cafeteria in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

He left his mistress, Claudia Ledington-Price, as manager of the Corbin restaurant and motel.  In 1942 he sold the Asheville business. In 1947, he and Josephine divorced and Sanders married Claudia in 1949, as he had long desired.  Sanders was "re-commissioned" as a Kentucky Colonel in 1949 by his friend, Governor Lawrence Wetherby.

In 1952, Sanders franchised "Kentucky Fried Chicken" for the first time, to Pete Harman of South Salt Lake, Utah, the operator of one of that city's largest restaurants.  In the first year of selling the product, restaurant sales more than tripled, with 75% of the increase coming from sales of fried chicken.  For Harman, the addition of fried chicken was a way of differentiating his restaurant from competitors; in Utah, a product hailing from Kentucky was unique and evoked imagery of Southern hospitality.  Don Anderson, a sign painter hired by Harman, coined the name Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Picture 3.2 The world's first KFC franchise, located in South Salt Lake, Utah

At age 65 (around 1955), Sanders' sold his Corbin outlet after the new Interstate 75 reduced his restaurant's customer traffic.   Sanders decided to begin to franchise his chicken concept in earnest, and traveled the US looking for suitable restaurants. After closing the Corbin site, Sanders and his wife Claudia opened a new restaurant and company headquarters in Shelbyville in 1959.

The franchise approach became highly successful; KFC was one of the first fast food chains to expand internationally, opening outlets in Canada and later in England, Mexico and Jamaica by the mid-1960s. The company's rapid expansion to more than 600 locations became overwhelming for the aging Sanders. In 1964 he sold the Kentucky Fried Chicken corporation for $2 million to a partnership of Kentucky businessmen headed byJohn Y. Brown, Jr. (a then-29-year-old lawyer and future governor of Kentucky) and Jack C. Massey (a venture capitalist and entrepreneur), and he became a salaried brand ambassador. The initial deal did not include the Canadian operations (which Sanders retained) or the franchising rights in England, Florida, Utah, and Montana (which Sanders had already sold to others).

In 1965 Sanders moved to Mississauga, Ontario to oversee his Canadian franchises and continued to collect franchise and appearance fees both in Canada and in the U.S. Sanders bought and lived in a bungalow at 1337 Melton Drive in the Lakeview area of Mississauga from 1965 to 1980.

 He remained active in Ontario even as he aged. For example, his 80th birthday was held at the Inn on the Park in North York, Ontario, hosted by Jerry Lewis as a Canadian Muscular Dystrophy Association fundraiser.  In September 1970 he and his wife were baptized in theJordan River.  He also befriended Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell.

Sanders and his wife reopened their Shelbyville restaurant as "Claudia Sanders, The Colonel's Lady" and served KFC-style chicken there as part of a full-service dinner menu, and talked about expanding the restaurant into a chain.  He was sued by the company for it.  

In 1973, he sued Heublein Inc.—the then parent company of Kentucky Fried Chicken—over the alleged misuse of his image in promoting products he had not helped develop. In 1975, Heublein Inc. unsuccessfully sued Sanders for libel after he publicly described their gravy as "wallpaper paste" to which "sludge" was added.

After reaching a settlement with Heublin, he sold the Colonel's Lady restaurant, and it has continued to operate since then (currently as the "Claudia Sanders Dinner House").   It serves his "original recipe" fried chicken as part of its (non-fast-food) dinner menu, and it is the only non-KFC restaurant that serves an authorized version of the fried chicken recipe.

After being recommissioned as a Kentucky colonel in 1950 by Governor Lawrence Wetherby, Sanders began to dress the part, growing a goatee and wearing a black frock coat(later switching to a white suit), a string tie, and referring to himself as "Colonel".  His associates went along with the title change, "jokingly at first and then in earnest", according to biographer Josh Ozersky.

He never wore anything else in public during the last 20 years of his life, using a heavy wool suit in the winter and a light cotton suit in the summer.  He bleached his mustache and goatee to match his white hair.

5.        Death

Sanders later used his stock holdings to create the Colonel Harland Sanders Trust and Colonel Harland Sanders Charitable Organization, which used the proceeds to aid charities and fund scholarships. His trusts continue to donate money to groups like the Trillium Health Care Centre; a wing of their building specializes in women's and children's care and has been named after him.  The Sidney, British Columbiabased foundation granted over $1,000,000 in 2007, according to its 2007 tax return.

Sanders was diagnosed with acute leukemia in June 1980.^[7]  He died at the Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky of pneumonia on December 16, 1980.    His body lay in state in the rotunda of theKentucky State Capitol in Frankfort after a funeral service at the Southern Baptist Seminary Chapel, which was attended by more than 1,000 people. He was buried in his characteristic white suit and black western string tie in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville.

6.        Legacy

Since his death, Sanders has been portrayed by voice actors in KFC commercials in radio and an animated version of him has been used for television commercials.

The Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball league has developed an urban legend of the "Curse of the Colonel". A statue of Colonel Sanders was thrown into a river and lost during a 1985 fan celebration, and (according to the legend) the "curse" has caused Japan's Hanshin Tigers to perform poorly since the incident.

One of Colonel Sanders' white suits and black clip-on bow-ties were sold at auction for $21,510 by Heritage Auctions on June 22, 2013.  The suit had been given to Cincinnatiresident Mike Morris by Sanders, who was close to Morris's family. The Morris family house was purchased by Col. Sanders, and Sanders lived with the family for six months. The suit was purchased by Kentucky Fried Chicken of Japan president Maseo "Charlie" Watanabe. Watanabe put on the famous suit after placing the winning bid at the auction event in Dallas, Texas.

In 2011, a manuscript of a book on cooking that Sanders apparently wrote in the mid-1960s was found in KFC archives. It includes some cooking recipes from Sanders as well as anecdotes and life lessons. KFC said it was planning to try some of the recipes and to publish the 200-page manuscript online.
