A good leader
A football team requires a good leader as their coach for the team to perform well. To be a good leader, the coach must be confident (Fuhr 53). In order for a leader to set direction and lead they have to be confident as a person as well as in their role as a leader. In a team, there are days where things are not going as planned. As a good leader, the coach is supposed to maintain the team morale in such situations. They need to keep up their level of confidence and give assurance to the team members.
A good leader should be committed to excellence. If a leader expects the team to work hard and produce quality, they should act as an example (Fuhr 53). Through being committed, the leader will earn respect from the team and at the same time instill the hardworking energy to the team members. For instance, as a good leader the coach should sometimes do exercises together with the team members. They should able to maintain high standards and be proactive in taking the bar higher in order to achieve excellence in all aspects.
A good leader should know how to communicate with the team members (Fuhr 54). A leader might know what they want to be accomplished in their head, but might find it difficult to explain it to the team members. A good leader should be able to clearly describe what they want the team members to do. The training of new members and creating a good environment depends on how well a leader can communicate.
A good leader should be able to think broadly and be creative (Fuhr 54). In many cases, decisions might not be clear cut. At times a leader might be required to deviate from the main course when making decisions. During critical times, the team will look up to their leader for guidance and hence required to make a decision. As a good leader, one is expected to think out of the box in order to come up with the best decision.

Beat it is one of the songs that is sung by Michael Jackson and is found from the compilation of the album Thriller. It is the fifth track in the album based on the E minor scale having a time signature of 4/4. The song more of a pop/rock style. Beat it features a 2-bar repetitive rhythm. Besides, the song entails a repetitive rhythm in the bass that tends to vary in the chords for the verse. The chorus of the song is a catchy riff-based groove and is used as the primary force for the song. The song Beat It incorporates a fair use of the dynamics such as the use of forte in the chorus and the eventual change to around the mezzo-piano in verse. The vocals of the song have been provided with an overdub to ensure that the vocals stand out more, making the sound thicker when compared to the rest of the song.
The combination of the vocals with the guitar and the bass leads to the creation of a well-placed harmony to which works well without contradictions and repetition. The driving drum beat has been used to keep the song powerful and sturdy as well. The song has been well composed despite its use of force and has been provided with a very catchy riff, proper use of the dynamics and harmony, but at the same time, the artist’s wide range along with the powerfulness of his voice that can be heard from the chorus have been exposed.
The song has incorporated a good use of harmony and as well the use of very catchy rock that has been based on the riff. The song ‘Beat It’ has featured a repetitive structure that allows the listener to be able to follow the track understanding what is happening in the song. The primary focus of the song is on the vocal side due to the high striking vocals as well as the quick attacking lyrics have been used to express the fact that violence is not right and should not in any way be used as a way of solving things.

Life of a Serial Killer Kendall Francois
Life of a Serial Killer Kendall Francois

Stories of world serial killers cannot be well told without mentioning one man by the name Kendall Francois, who is said to have been raised in Poughkeepsie, New York. Kendall Francois is among the greatest serial killers the dark world has ever witnessed. Kendall Francois was born in HYPERLINK “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poughkeepsie_%28city%29,_New_York” o “Poughkeepsie (city), New York” Poughkeepsie, New York on July 26, 1971. Throughout his life time, Francois is revealed to have murdered around eight women prostitutes (Murphy, 1999). This is said to have happened between 1996 and 1998.
Since early 1997, police and the public in Poughkeepsie got concerned over the disappearance of persons, particularly (Murphy, 1999). A number of persons were reportedly found missing. From November 1996, three ladies had gone missing, all petite, prostitutes of white origin. This appeared to be far more to be a coincidence. In March the following year, another alarm was raised following the disappearance of Catherine Marsh, whom reports said that the last time she had been seen is during a similar time frame like the rest of the other three ladies. Police conducted investigation to locate these missing women; they unsuccessfully searched Jane Doe Listings and rap-sheets.
In yet another scenario, another lady by the name Mary Giaccone went missing. She was located by her relatives to have attended her mother’s funeral, but she was nowhere to be found. Mary portrayed similar attributes as the other three women (Murphy, 1999). Even at this point, police seemed not to have any promising suspect rather than a guy by the name Kendall Francois who is a lifelong resident of Poughkeepsie and lived in the company of his parents. However, police had no tangible reason of detaining him after interrogating him. It was reported that thorough surveillance and interrogation was conducted by the investigative police on Francois, and even went ahead to poke around his bedroom and to their surprise nothing unusual was found.
At one time, an area prostitute reported that Francoise was extremely rough and notorious during sex, and was reported to have assaulted a prostitute within his parents’ premises. This made him to be arrested in January 1998. In the same year, a woman by the name Sandra Dean French was reported to have disappeared and her vehicle was found left three days later, just few miles from Francois’ home. Moreover, Catina Newmaster was also found missing (Murphy, 1999). Newmaster was described as a white prostitute who was short, pitite, and with brown hair.
Kendal Francois was spotted strangling a prostitute whom he had abducted on 1st September 1998. Fortunately the woman managed to flee way. Over the same period, the police surveillance was still trying to uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a number of prostitutes. Bob McCready, Police Detective, was trying to get information from the public by distributing flyers. It is after her escape that she reported the matter to the Poughkeepsie Police Detectives having filed a case against Francois for assault. Having admitted to report to 99 Fulton Avenue police department to discuss the assault claims, Francois made many shocking admissions concerning the disappearance of prostitute women. He was arrested by the police and charged with murder count of Newmaster. On September 2, 1998, police officers led by detectives conducted a search in Francois’ house thereby discovering bodies of victims hidden in the house (Murphy, 1999).
In October, Francois appeared before Dutchess County Court where he got charged with first degree murder on eight counts, attempted assault, and second degree murder. The Dutchess County Court ruled that Francois was confirmed guilty of the murder cases, leading to his formal life imprisonment (without parole) sentencing. Francois is currently locked up in the Attica Correctional Facility (Murphy, 1999).
