    kaylar wrote a new post, The Continuous Rudeness of Cell Phones 7 years, 9 months ago

    It is Sunday night.  I am in bed.  There is a buzzing from the far corner. I open my eyes and see the cell phone flashing.   It is flashing because it is Permanently on Silent.   It is permanently on silent bec […]

    • It is a general for all to receive a call from an ‘unknown’ in recent days. I prepared myself to face the disturbance the day I purchased a cell phone. What is the problem now? The morning before 10 only persons from office to inform well in advance about their absence or sanction of leave? Nothing else. In the evening after 10 anybody in the office is free to disturb me the reason being
      1. Holding an important position. Any Public Representative will feel it convenient to disturb me when the Head is not available for seeking information relating to Govt., work.
      2. Even Head does not feel it as he himself needs some information on files as Boss
      3. Colleagues and relatives may at any time find it necessary to call upon me as a courtesy.
      How can I avoid them? No way. This is the minimum respect and courtesy to answer their call if they happen to be relatives and friends and it will be the responsibility to clarify the doubts and furnish information to the Public Representatives and to the Boss respectively. This I can not avoid.

      But, I can’t sacrifice the happiness of the people at home by attending. Instead of causing a disturbance I found a nice way of keeping my cell phone on FLASH only.
      Even at the time of taking my breakfast, it will be ready at the side of my plate and ready to flash to make me alert.

      I generally do not like people who do not answer a call and plead excuse saying ‘I was in traffic’. I advise them to keep their phone on Vibration mode while in traffic or attending any social gathering where the chances of listening to the phone will be very less.

      Responding to a call shows what you are meant for a society.

      • I really disagree here. This is my life. I don’t have to be on call to whomever feels like calling me when it is comfortable for them. I am not a slave. I don’t have to jump when anyone calls. A person calls I have a right not to answer.

        A person is driving and the phone rings; let it ring. The person’s life is at risk. And when I am with my friends, no… I don’t answer. The people around me are more important than the caller.

    • I appreciate cell phones, especially, my android. I do, agree, that it should have a proper place in our lives. Families are too caught up with their cell phones at the dinner table that we have forgotten that it is a time to share and enjoy each other’s company without that distraction. I know a Pastor Friend who is with the phone 24/7 and is, constantly, getting calls. While I respect his position to serve others, there should be some consideration that his family time is important. Priorities play a strong role in regards to the use of phones.

      • Exactly Caleb, if we were having dinner I would not consider it proper to have the cell phone at the table. Cell Phones have become the leashes on humanity.

    • Since the advance of the technology from Internet at home until nowadays we have our smartphone with those communication apps, there are companies expected their workers to answer the call and message after work. Some employees even need to attend calls, messages and emails after work. To me this is totally unfair if there is nothing important. After work, they should be given a time to rest. Wow, if employees got to attend the managers or boss after work, then the company is really in a profits. They do not need to pay the employees overtime.

      During my father times, not everyone owns a cell phone, therefore after office hours, others don’t have chance to call each another.

      There should be a respect to people who had off work and resting at home.

      • Everyone should shut off their phone when they leave work. They shut it off and that is the end of the annoyance. The point is, as soon as I say ‘shut off..’ everyone looks at me as if I suggested they eat their relatives. This is how brainwashed people are.

        When I told the BFH I shut off my phone his mouth dropped open. Under no circumstances would I ever answer a work call outside of work.

    • Me, since my contracted phone is from my monthly load allowance, I see to it that the phone is always with me, because my lady boss might have an instruction for me.

      Besides, my sisters might call for an emergency news since my father is already 84 and has diabetes and with one leg amputated already so I always would answer it even if it’s at night but this never happens.

      As to those unregistered phone numbers, usually they are from my credit card provider to offer me a supplementary card, though they don’t call after 5:00 in the afternoon.

      As to my boss, she wouldn’t call on unholy hours although for her, his boss calls even at 2:00 in the morning when an idea suddenly appeared on his mind.

      • That’s the difference. I only like to talk to people on the phone when I feel like it. Not when they feel like it.

    • Thanks for sharing, it work for walking on the slippery floor and walking down from a steep or mountain, I think.

      But, never walk like penguin in the usual walking pattern. My daughter is walking like penguin which made me headache. The doctor told me the reason she walks that way is because she are having a flat foot.

      Thus, we have to give her some training to build up her small muscle of foot in order to have a arch in her foot, and no more penguin walk in the future.

      • I am sorry to hear about the flat foot, but I know that can be corrected. What I am talking about is the safe way of walking on slippery terrain.

    • Are the cracked wheat cooked already after soaking it for 20 minutes?
      I like salads, but it’s the first time I have heard of onewith cracked wheat which is bulghur so i know what it is already , since In our primary grades our teacher would let their maid cook the bulghur, donated by the US government to our school . And it’s delicious cooked in milk and some sugar.
      Going back to the salad , I cannot imagine the taste though since there’s bulghur which seems out of place in a salad of veggies.

    • Very good recipe. I heard about it somewhere long back. The chickpea and celery are rich in nutrients. The chickpeas are rich in protein and fiber Nothing can replace chickpea with regard to its fiber content. They are especially good for preparation of Salads. Celery is the best source of Vitamin K, B, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Potassium, Potassium, and Magnesium.Moreover, this is rich in Fiber also. It mixes well with chickpeas.

      I will prepare this Salad for the next Sunday and see its taste.

    Last time, my earning was deducted because the forum where I had answered and the blogs that I gave comments were closed due to some reasons.

     

    That was why my earnings were reduced.

     

    I think you had better ask admin first.

    Teachers are likened to be superheroes. They work fast. They remain strong amidst problems, powerful in overcoming challenges, and most of all, their ability to change the lives of their students for the better […]

    • A teacher is undoubtedly a superhero. Whether he works in India, Philippines, or any other nation, he plays an important role in molding the character of a student and make him a dutiful, responsible, and cultured citizen of the society. In India, the education system is somewhat developed more with the active support and importance are given to it by the Government.
      It is not only the Government but also many NonGovernmental Organizations which are taking an active part in developing a planned Education system.

      Starting from U.KG, L.K.G there are various types of schools that have been introduced. There are vocational training schools which impart education in the vocational courses also. Besides this, there are Vedic School which are meant exclusively for learning Vedas and other Religious books on various subjects.
      The most interesting thing is that some schools do lack facilities. Some schools lack qualified teachers. Each Union approaches the Government with certain demands including relaxation in the qualification for the appointment of teachers. This is here the system suffers a lot. There are many schools which are lacking qualified teachers and the qualified are not preferring to work in Government run Schools. Either they start their own schools or prefer to work in private school as they get more job satisfaction.
      The Governments are still unable to form a good and uniform policy to provide good teachers to the educational institutions. The political parties and Judiciary are being approached time and again undoing the developmental programs or schemes/methods introduced in the education system.

    • I think teachers for special children are trained before they are to teach these kind of students. After the training, I think they need to pass the qualifying exams too.
      That’s because these kind of students are easy to handle. Some have short lived temper. They should know how to handle a special child having a tantrum. Also when the special child has very short attention to what is being taught.
      It is also a need hat they should be given the teaching tools necessary in teaching children with special needs.
      Most of all , they should be give a higher salary, because they are in for a difficut way of teaching.

    • If the students refused to learn and when their results are bad, the teachers are to be blamed most of the time. Parents will come and search for the teachers and blame them. They never look into the mirror and the problems of their own children. A lot of teachers had done their best in their work, unfortunately, if the children refused to study, who can help them?

    Fried chicken, bacon, hotdog, French fries-these are just some of the food cooked by frying that most of you like to indulge in. However, did you know that despite being delicious and smelling good, fried food […]

    • Cooking vegetables using Oil is an important part of cooking. The vegetables are generally fried for taste. Sometimes people prefer deep frying. Frying vegetables is not good for health as many of the nutrients in the vegetables and other food items will become less effective and instead of doing good they do harm. This is nothing but purchasing unhealthy by spending money. If the vegetables or food items are not cooked using frying methods the loss of nutrients will be very much less. Hence, the cooking procedure suitable for the preparation should be adopted.
      The refined oil is meant for frying the items as the loss of nutrients while frying will be lessened using this oil.
      Refined oils will be very different in their properties.
      They will have less weight
      They will have less density
      The fat content in the Oils will be less when compared to Ordinary oil
      The calories will also be very less.
      The oil will be quite free from other impurities.

      It is these properties which make them more preferable by the people than ordinary oil. The health problems like stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes can be kept at a distance by using Refined oils.

      There are many different refined oils like Groundnut oil, Palmolive Oil, Avocado Oil, Virgin oil, Canola Oil, Coconut Oil.

      One should always remember that any food vegetable or non-vegetable will lose its nutrients whenever it is heated. The loss of nutrients will be directly proportional to the degree of heating. This loss of nutrients will be different for different refined oils. This loss of nutrients will be very less when one uses refined Palmolive Oil. Therefore, many people suggest and prefer Palmolive Refined Oil than using other refined oils in India.
      Usage of Virgin Oil is, of course, is preferred but is confined to only rich and wealthy families in view of its being quite expensive

      However, it is best to avoid deep-frying or frying of vegetables or non-vegetables while cooking the food items and it is better they are minimized as low as possible.

    • That’s because olive oil is considered the healthy oil.
      So, how do we kow if the olive oil in the market is the refined oil. Does it have a mark like that?
      What about virgin olive oil as it is the most that i see in supermakrtes, can using it in frying will have the. same health benefits as the refined oil?
      Canola oil is also what is being said as healthy or good for frying. It’s what we use for frying because it’s much cheaper that olive oil.
