FADDISH

After her elementary school in Tulsa, Okla.,

wouldn’t allow her to wear dreadlocks,

7-year- old Tiana Parker didn’t change her hairdo. Instead, she changed schools.

Although Tiana had worn her hair in dreadlocks during the previous school year, officials at the Deborah Brown Community School decided this year to enforce the school's dress-code policy.

It states that “hairstyles such as dreadlocks, afros and other faddish styles are unacceptable.”

Bad Tippers

Two employees at a Famous Dave's barbecue

restaurant in Bismarck, N.D. were fired this week after

a racially charged Facebook post went viral. The post included a photo that shows Famous Dave's employee Andrea Casson holding a sign that suggests Native Americans are bad tippers.

Last weekend, Bismarck hosted United Tribes International Pow Wow, a festival that attracts tens of thousands of Native Americans to the area, according to The Consumerist.

The employee denies creating the cardboard sign, but she doesn't deny posing for the picture.

"One of my friends that worked there as well came to visit, and she asked me to hold this poster up, so she could send a Snapchat.

Unfortunately for Casson, Snapchat -- a photo sharing app where pictures are meant to disappear after they've been received -- wasn't the only place the photo wound up. The photo was posted on Facebook, and the two employees have since been fired. The restaurant's owner Mike Wright issued a statement on Facebook.

Here's the photo in question:

Hoax Video

If you've been on the Internet in the last week, you

most likely saw a video entitled "Worst Twerk Fail

EVER - Girl Catches On Fire!" In the video, a girl performs a suggestive dance routine that goes completely awry, ending with the young lady apparently catching on fire.

The video instantly went viral, racking up over 9 million views

in less than a week. Multiple TV and news outlets -- including this site -- reported on the video at face value. But until Jimmy Kimmel interviewed her on his talk show on Monday night, no one got the full story behind the viral video.

Jealousy and Competition

Feeling jealous:

Have you noticed that an engineer can rarely become jealous of a successful doctor while he can become really jealous of another successful engineer who works with him, what is that all about??

The answer to these questions are simple, we only

feel jealous when we think that we are in a direct competition with the person we are jealous of.

The man who feels jealous when his wife talks to

other men is afraid that one of the other men wins

the competition and takes his wife from him.

In a relationships the feelings of jealousy can make your relationship partner uncomfortable and can

result in ending the relationship.

Jealousy and weakness:

Is jealousy a sign of weakness? Yes in most cases it is. You will never feel jealous of someone unless you think that he is a tough competitor and unless you are questioning your own ability to beat him.

The more jealous you feel towards a person the more weak you think you are compared to him. If someone kept talking behind your back and kept saying bad things about you then don’t feel bad because in many cases this can be regarded as a verbal confession that you are better than him / her.

If you found yourself feeling jealous of other people then consider it the time to start changing things about yourself instead of criticizing or hating them.

We all might feel jealous at certain points of our lives but those who really understand jealousy will try to fix their problems while others will only become envious and full of hatred.

So, hate the game and not the player!!!
