<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Catholic Church has a new Pontiff, a humble Argentine Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, who adopted the papal name "Pope Francis" which lends a new day dawning for the church that was engulfed with numerous scandals in the past months and prompted the resignation of Pope Benedict. He became the Pope in March 13, 2013 after the conclave of 115 Cardinals from around the world casted their vote. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pope Francis, speaking Italian with a slight Latin American accent, joked with the crowd before delivering his blessing, saying: <i><a href="http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/126296/bergoglio-delivers-first-blessing-asks-world-for-prayers" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">"As you know the duty of the conclave is to give Rome a bishop. It seems that my brother cardinals went almost to the end of the world."</span></a></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Buenos Aires Herald described Pope Francis as "low-profile, austere Jesuit, Bergoglio resisted the gay marriage law, promoted by the administration of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and passed by Congress in 2010. The <a href="http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/126297/bergoglio-the-first-pontiff-from-latin-america" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Roman Catholic Church of Argentina</span></a> played a role during the country’s 1976-1983 civil-military dictatorship that certain ruling Victory Front officials have accused of “complicity”.</span></div>

<br />
For those who do traditional concepts, they made their New Year's Resolutions. And those who are non-traditional, they have their own way of marking 2013 and began their journeys for the next 330 plus days.<br />
<br />
Personally, I began my New Year with a perspective where Great Health achieve Success in Life. This year I put forward to be more healthy and consume healthier foods that will sustain my healthier well being.<br />

Being Healthy is at the top of my priorities because I believed that when one is in great health, all goals in personal or professional will be achieved. The end result of it all is abundance of success. Would I like to become successful? If you are an optimist like me that is a big YES.<br />
<br />
With anyone I work with, I will share with them that insight of being healthy. Let's put our health as a main emphasis in our daily living. When we are healthy, there are more opportunities in the future that we will enjoy, many places that we can go, and many more advancement that will cherish.<br />
<br />
What options do we have to be healthy? The following tips may be a good starting point about how to make extra effort in managing one's health by your own means and capabilities. I do these things myself :-)<br />

seeds, and whole grains. There are many different foods that are nutritious. You don't need expensive foods to get the rich vitamins from nutritious foods.

It is apparent that the United States will tackle a newer comprehensive immigration reform system that will measure up to the 21st Century.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the government will play their roles including 'We the People' of America. Of course, there will be politicking to play in the next weeks and months. The debate will bring opinions and unusual perspectives about such a vision. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mr. Obama's Immigration Reform touches many core issues that impact the American Society as a whole. Many will disagree while <i><b>majority will agree</b></i>. Here are some of the points about the Comprehensive Immigration Reform he proposed, and your ideas and insights are equally essential to be heard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <strong>Keep Families Together</strong>. The proposal seeks to eliminate
existing backlogs in the family-sponsored immigration system by
recapturing unused visas and temporarily increasing annual visa numbers.
The proposal also raises existing annual country caps from 7 percent
to 15 percent for the family-sponsored immigration system. It also
treats same-sex families as families by giving U.S. citizens and lawful
permanent residents the ability to seek a visa on the basis of a
permanent relationship with a same-sex partner. The proposal also
revises current unlawful presence bars and provides broader discretion
to waive bars in cases of hardship.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <strong>“Staple” green cards to advanced STEM diplomas</strong>. The
proposal encourages foreign graduate students educated in the United
States to stay here and contribute to our economy by “stapling” a green
card to the diplomas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) PhD and Master’s Degree graduates from qualified U.S.
universities who have found employment in the United States. It also
requires employers to pay a fee that will support education and training
to grow the next generation of American workers in STEM careers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. <strong>Create a “startup visa” for job-creating entrepreneurs</strong>.
The proposal allows foreign entrepreneurs who attract financing from
U.S. investors or revenue from U.S. customers to start and grow their
businesses in the United States, and to remain permanently if their
companies grow further, create jobs for American workers, and strengthen
our economy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4.<strong>Encourage integration</strong>. The proposal promotes earned
citizenship and efforts to integrate immigrants into their new American
communities linguistically, civically, and economically.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <b>E</b><strong>arned citizenship for DREAMers</strong>. Children brought here
illegally through no fault of their own by their parents will be
eligible for earned citizenship. By going to college or serving
honorably in the Armed Forces for at least two years, these children
should be given an expedited opportunity to earn their citizenship. The
President’s proposal brings these undocumented immigrants out of the
shadows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <strong>Create a provisional legal status</strong>. Undocumented
immigrants must come forward and register, submit biometric data, pass
criminal background and national security checks, and pay fees and
penalties before they will be eligible for a provisional legal status.
Agricultural workers and those who entered the United States as
children would be eligible for the same program. Individuals must wait
until the existing legal immigration backlogs are cleared before getting
in line to apply for lawful permanent residency (i.e. a “green card”),
and ultimately United States citizenship. Consistent with current law,
people with provisional legal status will not be eligible for welfare or
other federal benefits, including subsidies or tax credits under the
new health care law.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7.<strong>Create strict requirements to qualify for lawful permanent resident status</strong>.
Those applying for green cards must pay their taxes, pass additional
criminal background and national security checks, register for Selective
Service (where applicable), pay additional fees and penalties, and
learn English and U.S. civics. As under current law, five years after
receiving a green card, individuals will be eligible to apply for U.S.
citizenship like every other legal permanent resident.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. <strong>Mandatory, phased-in electronic employment verification</strong>.
The President’s proposal provides tools for employers to ensure a legal
workforce by using federal government databases to verify that the
people they hire are eligible to work in the United States. Penalties
for hiring undocumented workers are significantly increased, and new
penalties are established for committing fraud and identity theft. The
new mandatory program ensures the privacy and confidentiality of all
workers’ personal information and includes important procedural
protections. Mandatory electronic employment verification would be
phased in over five years with exemptions for certain small businesses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. <strong>Combat fraud and identity theft</strong>. The proposal also
mandates a fraud‐resistant, tamper‐resistant Social Security card and
requires workers to use fraud‐and tamper‐resistant documents to prove
authorization to work in the United States. The proposal also seeks to
establish a voluntary pilot program to evaluate new methods to
authenticate identity and combat identity theft.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. <strong>Improve partnerships with border communities and law enforcement</strong>.
The President’s proposal expands our ability to work with our
cross-border law enforcement partners. Community trust and cooperation
are keys to effective law enforcement. To this end, the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) will establish border community liaisons
along the Southern and Northern borders to improve communication and
collaboration with border communities, boost funding to tribal
government partners to reduce illegal activity on tribal lands, and
strengthen training on civil rights and civil liberties for DHS
immigration officers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11. <strong>Improve our nation’s immigration courts</strong>. The
President’s proposal invests in our immigration courts. By increasing
the number of immigration judges and their staff, investing in training
for court personnel, and improving access to legal information for
immigrants, these reforms will improve court efficiency. It allows DHS
to better focus its detention resources on public safety and national
security threats by expanding alternatives to detention and reducing
overall detention costs. It also provides greater protections for those
least able to represent themselves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12. <strong>Cracking Down on Employers Hiring Undocumented Workers</strong>:
Our businesses should only employ people legally authorized to work in
the United States. Businesses that knowingly employ undocumented
workers are exploiting the system to gain an advantage over businesses
that play by the rules. The President’s proposal is designed to stop
these unfair hiring practices and hold these companies accountable. At
the same time, this proposal gives employers who want to play by the
rules a reliable way to verify that their employees are here legally.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
13. <strong>Streamlining Legal Immigration</strong>: Our immigration system
should reward anyone who is willing to work hard and play by the rules.
For the sake of our economy and our security, legal immigration should
be simple and efficient. The President’s proposal attracts the best
minds to America by providing visas to foreign entrepreneurs looking to
start businesses here and helping the most promising foreign graduate
students in science and math stay in this country after graduation,
rather than take their skills to other countries. The President’s
proposal will also reunify families in a timely and humane manner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
14. <strong>Combat transnational crime</strong>. The President’s proposal
creates new criminal penalties dedicated to combating transnational
criminal organizations that traffic in drugs, weapons, and money, and
that smuggle people across the borders. It also expands the scope of
current law to allow for the forfeiture of these organizations’ criminal
tools and proceeds. Through this approach, we will bolster our efforts
to deprive criminal enterprises, including those operating along the
Southwest border, of their infrastructure and profits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It is a long weekend for our Mates down-under to celebrate the Australia Day. Many will be enjoying the beaches, provided the temperature will permit summer festivities. In the last few weeks, the temperature has been rising ... a new adventure to most. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The <b><a href="http://www.australiaday.com.au/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Australia Day</span></a></b> has been celebrated since January 26 1908 according to historical records. In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">1818</span></a> was the first official formation of the celebration held in New South Wales. Currently, it is a public holiday across Australia. During this time of annual celebration when different Australian Awards and Honours are conferred to deserving individuals, groups, institutions and other categories. Australia Day has become the biggest annual civic celebrations in Australia.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Backgrounder:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In May 13, 1787, the so called <b>First Fleet</b> begun sailing from
Great Britain (now called United Kingdom), consisting of 10 Civil
Officers, 212 marines and officers, 28 wives and 17 children, 81 free
persons, 504 convicts and 192 female convicts, total of 1044.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The people aboard in the First Fleet were sent to Australia based on
Orders-in-Counsil for establishing the European colony in Australia, in
the region of which Captain James Cook, a Royal Navy Captain and a
British Explorer, had named New South Wales. The fleet was led by
Captain Arthur Philip, who later became an Admiral. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Fleet" target="_blank">The First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay between January 18-20, 1788</a></span>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At a later date, the first European Habitation of Australia settled at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Cove" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Sydney Cove</span></a>. Today, Sydney Cove is relative to Sydney Harbour / Circular Quay. The city of Sydney resides in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">New South Wales</span></a>, a province of Australia.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Vice President
Biden, Mr. Chief Justice,</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">members of the United States
Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Each time we gather to inaugurate a
President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution.
We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds
this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith
or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional -- what makes us
American -- is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more
than two centuries ago:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">“We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today we continue a never-ending journey
to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For
history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they’ve never
been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured
by His people here on Earth. (Applause.) </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The patriots of 1776 did
not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the
rule of a mob. They gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and
for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And for more than two hundred years,
we have. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Through blood drawn by lash and blood
drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty
and equality could survive half-slave and half-free. We made ourselves
anew, and vowed to move forward together. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Together, we determined that a modern
economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce, schools
and colleges to train our workers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Together, we discovered that a free
market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Together, we resolved that a great
nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst
hazards and misfortune. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Through it all, we have never
relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the
fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone.
Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work
and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But we have always understood that
when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles
requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms
ultimately requires collective action. For the American people can no
more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers
could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias.
No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need
to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and
research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores. Now,
more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation and one people.
(Applause.) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This generation of Americans has been
tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A
decade of war is now ending. (Applause.) An economic recovery has
begun. (Applause.) America’s possibilities are limitless, for we
possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands:
youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and
a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment,
and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together. (Applause.)
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For we, the people, understand that
our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many
barely make it. (Applause.) We believe that America’s prosperity
must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that
America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their
work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of
hardship. We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the
bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else,
because she is an American; she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes
of God but also in our own. (Applause.) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We understand that outworn programs
are inadequate to the needs of our time. So we must harness new ideas and
technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools,
and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more,
reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures:
a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single
American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give
real meaning to our creed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We, the people, still believe that
every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must
make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our
deficit. But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring
for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that
will build its future. (Applause.) For we remember the lessons of
our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty and parents of a child with
a disability had nowhere to turn. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We do not believe that in this
country freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We
recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us at
any time may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a
terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other through Medicare
and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative, they
strengthen us. (Applause.) They do not make us a nation of takers;
they free us to take the risks that make this country great. (Applause.)
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We, the people, still believe that
our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity.
We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure
to do so would betray our children and future generations. (Applause.)
Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can
avoid the devastating impact of raging fires and crippling drought and more
powerful storms. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The path towards sustainable energy
sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist
this transition, we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the
technology that will power new jobs and new industries, we must claim its
promise. That’s how we will maintain our economic vitality and our
national treasure -- our forests and waterways, our crop lands and snow-capped
peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by
God. That’s what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once
declared.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We, the people, still believe that
enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war.
(Applause.) Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the
flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage. (Applause.)
Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well
the price that is paid for liberty. The knowledge of their sacrifice will
keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm. But we are also
heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war; who turned sworn enemies
into the surest of friends -- and we must carry those lessons into this time as
well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We will defend our people and uphold
our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the
courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully –- not
because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more
durably lift suspicion and fear. (Applause.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>America will remain the anchor of
strong alliances in every corner of the globe. And we will renew those
institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a
greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation. We will
support democracy from Asia to Africa, from the Americas to the Middle East,
because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those
who long for freedom. And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the
sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice –- not out of mere charity,
but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles
that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity, human dignity
and justice. </b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We, the people, declare today that
the most evident of truths –- that all of us are created equal –- is the star
that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and
Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and
unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that
we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is
inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.
(Applause.) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers
began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and
daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. (Applause.) Our
journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like
anyone else under the law –- (applause) -- for if we are truly created
equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.
(Applause.) Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced
to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. (Applause.) Our
journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving,
hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity -- (applause)
-- until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce
rather than expelled from our country. (Applause.) Our journey is
not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills
of Appalachia, to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for and cherished
and always safe from harm. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That is our generation’s task -- to
make these words, these rights, these values of life and liberty and the
pursuit of happiness real for every American. Being true to our founding
documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life. It does not
mean we all define liberty in exactly the same way or follow the same precise
path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long
debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to
act in our time. (Applause.) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For now decisions are upon us and we
cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or
substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.
(Applause.) We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect.
We must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial and that
it will be up to those who stand here in four years and 40 years and 400 years
hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare
Philadelphia hall. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My fellow Americans, the oath I have
sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this
Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction. And we
must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service.
But the words I spoke today are not so different from the oath that is
taken each time a soldier signs up for duty or an immigrant realizes her dream.
My oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that
waves above and that fills our hearts with pride. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They are the words of citizens and
they represent our greatest hope. You and I, as citizens, have the power
to set this country’s course. You and I, as citizens, have the obligation
to shape the debates of our time -- not only with the votes we cast, but with
the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals.
(Applause.) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let us, each of us, now embrace with
solemn duty and awesome joy what is our lasting birthright. With common
effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call
of history and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am happy to join with
you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for
freedom in the history of our nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Five score years ago, a
great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the
Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light
of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of
withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of
their captivity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">But one hundred years
later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the
Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of
discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of
poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years
later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and
finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize
a shameful condition.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>In a sense we have come
to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic
wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was
to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as
white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is obvious today that
America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color
are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given
the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked
"insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of
justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in
the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this
check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the
security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America
of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of
cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to
make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and
desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the
time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid
rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's
children.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This
sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until
there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three
is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow
off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation
returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in
America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of
revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright
day of justice emerges.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b><i><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">But there is something
that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into
the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not
be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom
by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-small; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">We must forever conduct
our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our
creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must
rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The
marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us
to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced
by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied
up with our destiny. They have come to realize that their freedom is
inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">As we walk, we must make
the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are
those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be
satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim
of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied, as
long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in
the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied
as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one.
We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their
selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "For Whites
Only". We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot
vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no,
we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down
like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am not unmindful that
some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you
have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where
your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and
staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of
creative suffering. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Continue to work with
the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to
Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing
that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Every individual member of a workforce offers a set of skills that cannot be found true from another.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">Across the nation, organizations are struggling in hiring the best people to become a member of their workforce and then </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">retain them in a long term</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">. However, one of the most predictive challenges of organizations is the long term dedication and loyalty of workforce. These is because of one basic reason, organizations of today are not creating strategic career paths, there are no tangible mentoring for professional development of promising leaders, opportunities for advancement for younger one's are limited due to external forces that are brought into the organization, safety net of environment have disappeared, functinal responsibilities are no longer fulfilling and majority are driven mechanically instead of using intelligible decisions of people and their skills to maneuver growth, efficiency and advancement.</span></div>
