Being a cool kid in high school has it’s pros and cons. And according to me i think tryi ng to be a cool kid requires you to be on top of everything. you have to have the money to treat others the way that you want, you have to have the coolest and trendiest clothing in the school, you have to have stuff that other students cannot afford, there is just so much that you need to have and do. In this case most kids don’t even have to be clever to be recognized or be famous all you need is money. And that for me could be very tasking i would rather be that silent student who does well in their studies and is respectable that is what counts at the end of the day.

What happens sometimes when you’re too bright is you wind up being drafted into doing homework for the school king or queen.

I never had any high school, the most was a 5th former, no graduation stuff or promps either.
I sure envy western style, high school must had been fun and cool

We went to school from 5yrs to 12 at Primary; then from 12 – 14 at Jr. High, then from 14 – 17 at High School. So usually by Jr. High things start to bubble

Oh I don’t to worry about my hubby.
I am not pretty, I have wrinkles, I have bulging fat tummy
My hubby is always around me.
He would find ways to make me pretty in front of him
The main point is, obey whatever he says, don;’t answer back during argument, you got your hubby stay faithful to you always.

You have certainly got the nail on the head. These are very useful tips for two people living in the same house. It can actually work if you do things with caution. They actually say that silence is the best weapon for someone who cheats and lies all along. Being quiet will keep him thinking and guessing about what your thinking. Like the place where you have said that you should not confront him until you have enough money to move on, to say the truth it may sound cruel and harsh at the same time but again it’s good to also look on the bright side and act while the iron is still got. Men can lie but they cannot hide or fool women, women have this inner voice in them that can tell them something is not right somewhere, we have a very strong conscience that saves us a lot of times, so men ought to be cateful when when they do certain things.

But at times, what if any employee has to take a leave, or is sick? So, we should have N+ a few more employees- where N is the minimum number of employees needed.

No, the Manager or supervisor fills in, or someone is hired part time in case there is so much work. To have an extra means an extra mouth in an argument.

When companies do well there is wastage all over and not just with an over load of employees. I have worked for a multi national and I know how wasteful things were around until a new MD came along and the first thing he did was to reduce the size of our cabins – in fact we were provided with open cubicles (lol)

Well I did know something about the Moors and did know they were powerful at one time in history. But this is the first time that I’ve ever read such a neat and concise history. You hit upon the highlights very well and you’re right about the Americans. We don’t (or rarely) mention anything about Tripoli except for in that line in the song sung by the Marines. 🙂

The term Moors refers to the Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages, who initially were Berber and Arab peoples from North Africa.

The Spanish occupation by the Moors began in 711 AD when an African army, under their leader Tariq ibn-Ziyad, crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from northern Africa and invaded the Iberian peninsula ‘Andalus’ (Spain under the Visigoths).

The Moors, who ruled Spain for 800 years, introduced new scientific techniques to Europe, such as an astrolabe, a device for measuring the position of the stars and planets. Scientific progress in Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Geography and Philosophy flourished in Moorish Spain

The Great Mosque of Córdoba (La Mezquita) is still one of the architectural wonders of the world in spite of later Spanish disfigurements. Its low scarlet and gold roof, supported by 1,000 columns of marble, jasper and and porphyry, was lit by thousands of brass and silver lamps which burned perfumed oil.

Education was universal in Moorish Spain, available to all, while in Christian Europe ninety-nine percent of the population were illiterate, and even kings could neither read nor write. At that time, Europe had only two universities, the Moors had seventeen great universities! These were located in Almeria, Cordova, Granada, Juen, Malaga, Seville, and Toledo.

The Moorish rulers lived in sumptuous palaces, while the monarchs of Germany, France, and England dwelt in big barns, with no windows and no chimneys, and with only a hole in the roof for the exit of smoke. One such Moorish palace ‘Alhambra’ (literally “the red one”) in Granada is one of Spain’s architectural masterpieces. Alhambra was the seat of Muslim rulers from the 13th century to the end of the 15th century.

The Moors ruled and occupied Lisbon (named “Lashbuna” by the Moors) and the rest of the country until well into the twelfth century. They were finally defeated and driven out by the forces of King Alfonso Henriques. The scene of this battle was the Castelo de Sao Jorge or the ‘Castle of St. George.’

Dogpile is fun! 🙂

The fact is, that today, you find people afraid to talk and say what they mean because of a fear of not being politically correct

The point is, most people don’t know where that the cocoa beans came from, how they were harvested…and if slaves produced the chocolate in their Hershey Bar

it is a pity and sad to know that child slavery still exist in this modern world, so does this mean that we have to boycott chocolates?

It is tragic. The tragedy being I had to read this in a blog post here. I listen to business news reports and don’t recall this matter being reported LOUDLY!!! So what you’re saying is if we could all resist the temptation to enjoy chocolate for a greater cause, we might put a stop to child slavery, because we would put the companies out of business. However? What do organizations like the United Nations do? Not pointing a finger but there are many of these types of organizations set up with a mission to protect the rights of children all around the world. Shouldn’t an issue like this fall under the scope of their commitments to the greater good? Though you mention the companies promised to do something but broke their promises or postponed them, couldn’t outside organizations put pressure on them and shame them into doing the right thing?

Exactly. And sometimes, you just ‘don’t feel right’ but everyone tries to slap away your feelings…

some writers mentioned that corn flakes are not healthy because it is mixed with sucrose, sugar, honey even though i is just plain corn flakes, not honey rings etc

Corn flakes are filling for kids but not adults, however I don’t find it helpful for bowel movements

Once you are useful… you will be used. Become useless.
