What is Human Right?
Firstly, I'd like to thank each and every one of you who partook and interpreted 'Human Rights' in its various forms.
Azcraigfozzy Foster Fahmi - "Human rights = understanding. Simply understanding one another will automatically lead to a common respect. People usually abuse those they don't understand. It is respect for the right to live as one would please (so long as it doesn't harm others), the right to be treated fairly and equally and to acknowledge the fact that we are all born the ... same way, and we will all expire one day - no one should be rendered more superior than others. There is no moral and ethical standard to impose on others. Doing things with "good intentions" can usually result in disastrous consequences as your "good intentions" may be a result of the environment/conditioning/constructs you grew up in and around and not necessarily what's best for others. There isn't a "norm" and that should also be respected and understood. Even though you may not agree with the cultural practices of others, it's important to respect those practices because it's hatred and fear of the unknown that usually breeds hatred, corruption and an abuse of human rights. We just don't understand one another; therefore, we don't respect one another.
The most noteworthy ones find a mention below:
Darn Small - "Human Rights...is a an enigmatic concept. In the west we like to roll it out of the war chest when it suits, and throw it around at each other and at others, yet we rarely hold ourselves up to account by the same accord. Human Rights...is hot air. We demand it for others, we demand it for ourselves, yet we don't mind when we are the ones destroying/taking/usurping it from others. It's a topic for the time rich, but not a requirement or courtesy that we'd extend others that really need it."
Kolby Peterson - "Human Rights is a fantastical, mystical idea that each man is treated equal without question. The reality however is that there is no such thing as human rights. The only people with rights are the people that are deemed worthy by the people trying to infringe upon everyone elses."
Morris L. Reid Jr. - "As a Native American Indian I define it as the ability to live without fear. Fear of retribution. Fear of who you are. Or the fear of being different."
Chansin Henriksen - "human right is overrated. human right is basicly a moral right that being back up by either logic reasons or legal right. it doesnt give you total freedom but rather take some so you can have some and other can have some. but its a blur line and a paradox concept. It give you the right to do it or have it, but the norm or legal right say, if you do... that we shut you down. and when human right is getting in the way, we can just throw it off the window like it doesnt exist. it happed before, it still happening and will continue so. the great purge, US-japanese thing, the war on terror. whats next? its controlled chaotic ^^"
Jason Cheung - "Human rights: normative rights conferred upon a person by virtue of humanity, but which may be limited as a consequence of their defaulting & proportionate act. The rights and default acts are defined differently depending on jurisdiction, so there is currently no universal set that applies to all states in the world."
Max Bondorovsky - "For every human to be treated equally with dignity, respect and self worth."
Jiho Jung - "in the US, its something you just yell out to "claim" it. in North Korea, ... LOL"
Andrew Periwinkle Hardy - "Human rights. That thing we don't have when we go to China."
Samuel James Montgomery Richardson - "Human rights are just like sex. Everyone thinks they deserve it. But only like half of them get it."
Grace Mimmo Fitzpatrick - "Is the opposite to Human Wrongs ;-)"
Conor Cannon - "every day public holiday with pay!!!!!!!!"
Michelle Pham - "...buying a churro(spell check) for one dollar(:"

The Call - Visual Video Chats?
Two people on the call.... both interact with the screen and are both aware of the situation....
Clip Arts
Trying to emulate the tone of voice people use in powerpoints.
I actually used images from www.openclipart.org and I do all the time and really appreciate (and am a huge supporter of) people contributing artwork online to be used/remixed etc.

Story of a Sacred Mountain
What will one tribe have to do to save everything they know? The Real Avatar: Mine - Story of a Sacred Mountain
Mine, narrated by Joanna Lumley, tells the story of the remote Dongria Kondh tribe's struggle to protect Niyamgiri, the mountain they worship as a God. London-based mining company Vedanta Resources plans a vast open-pit bauxite mine in India's Niyamgiri hills, and the Dongria Kondh know that means the destruction of their forests, their way of life, and their mountain God.

Job Search Technique
College graduates need to be prepared to face fierce competition as they enter the workforce. If you're a new graduate, here's what you got to do (among other things) to find the right job:
1. Check out your college or university Career Services office. Their advice is free and targeted to your market.
2. Join alma mater alumni groups. Networking is still the best way to find a new job.
3. Research job boards that include lots of entry-level jobs.
4. Watch what you post online. Recruiters will search social media to investigate your background.
5. Expand your search radius to include companies where you would like to live and work.
6. Boost your skill set by taking extra courses. Learning should be a life-long goal.
7. Don't underestimate the value of a good cover letter and resume.
8. Create a 'personal branding statement' to stand out from other inexperienced college grads.
9. Prepare and rehearse before each interview. Don't assume you can "wing it" just because you're smart.
10. Dress for success. Looking good never hurts.
11. Be personable and nice to everyone you meet during your interview.
12. Follow up with thank you notes to everyone you met.
But most importantly, don't get discouraged. Job hunting is one of the toughest 'jobs' you'll ever have. Stay positive and keep your network active. Referrals are one of the best ways to find a job.

Jessica Watson's True Spirit
On 15 May, 2010, Jessica Watson crossed the finish line in Sydney Harbour, three days before her 17th birthday to become the youngest individual to sail non-stop and unassisted around the world.
The Los Angeles Times reported Watson's reason for her journey: "I wanted to challenge myself and achieve something to be proud of. And yes, I wanted to inspire people. I hated being judged by my appearance and other people's expectations of what a 'little girl' was capable of. It's no longer just my dream or voyage. Every milestone out here isn't just my achievement, but an achievement for everyone who has put so much time and effort into helping getting me here."
