A flea and a fly in a flue

Were caught, so what could they do?

Said the fly, “Let us flee.”

“Let us fly,” said the flea.

So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

There was an Old Man with a beard,
Who said, ‘It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!’

There was an Old Man of Kilkenny,
Who never had more than a penny;
He spent all that money,

Green Energy For a Clean Biosphere

The Biosphere is the comprehensive total of all ecosystems. Hence it is also known as the Earth’s Life Zone which is considered a closed and self sustaining system. It is the total ecological system that encompasses all living beings and there interrelating connections including how they interact with the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere elements. Put simply, it is the orb of life where we humans also belong.

The Biosphere is what provides us food, a home, and a source of all other necessities vital for our survival. Hence, we have the innate responsibility to preserve it, especially for future generations. Unfortunately, such is not what is being done. Today, very little concern is directed towards planet earth. The main focus of man is in keeping his current lifestyle, even if it involves sacrificing the environment’s welfare. The human race is now in an age of great technological advancements. And as we progress, nature is seemingly being left behind. People seem to forget to take the surroundings into consideration when making their decisions and executing their actions.

MISSING

Something is missing in my loneliness now
My morning now is not cheerfully as yesterday,
When your voice still I hear
The night wind knows ... is cold without you ...
Stars are reluctant to come out ...

I MISS YOU

The days that pass me
Lonely only accompanying
Spirit was as if he had died
Would all back
Liver is smiling again
Without the burden on the heart

My own ... ...
my own ... ...
my own, in the illusion

MEMORIES OF YOU

Wherever I am,,
In whatever way,,,
your memories are always with me,,,
Should I tell anyone or should I not,,
It's the matter of the heart after all,,
It's said that a world moves along with us,,
Even as solitude grows silently in the heart,,
All I have are memories,,

Talking My Heart

I sail honestly in my heart
I always remember you
A love is a gift from God
Let me...
For swinging in your heart
If longing nice
Let me...
Near with you

Being Creative in Yours Bussines

Recently, I participated in a discussion on one of my social networking sites that was really interesting. We were discussing creative marketing strategies. During this conversation, I became aware of a marketing strategy being used by a marketer that I found to be just plain silly. This marketer was sending out mail pieces – the kind you get in your mailbox – inviting people to become affiliates, or partners in his business, with $5.00 postage due. I wouldn’t consider this to be a strategy, but apparently it worked for this marketer. Some people accepted the mail, paid the $5.00 postage due, just to find out what this person was trying to do. Others refused the mail, obviously not wanting to pay $5.00 postage.

Here this person was, asking people to start a relationship with him, a joint venture, and making them pay for the request. Not exactly a way to start a relationship with people you want to do business with. You want to make sure when you are starting a relationship especially a joint venture that you start the relationship out on the right foot. Asking someone to pay to get your mail piece for the joint venture is not moving in the right direction to get them to join your joint venture or affiliate program.

All business owners want to do things just a little different, a little off-the-wall, outrageous, and sometimes even a little controversial just to get attention, (and yes, we all do things just to get attention sometimes), but his strategy or tactic was just plain silly. It’s just really bad etiquette to send someone a mail piece, requesting them to do business and expect them to pay for postage.

The Advantages of Attending Private School

Education is the key to success. There is no doubt about it. Without a high school diploma, a person will struggle to find gainful employment. Overall quality of life is usually low for those who have not finished schooling. If you have a child, you want the best for him or her. Choosing the right institution is an important part of guiding your child’s future. Private schools are one of the best choices if you want your child to be well rounded, bright, and successful.

It is easy to choose a public school education for your child. Aside from the fact that there is no tuition, these are often nearby and there are so many to choose from. But this does not mean that these institutions are the best for children to attend. Private schools not only provide top-notch instruction, but they also teach the discipline and critical thinking skills that every person needs. The instructors aim to prepare each and every student for the ultimate goal of attending college.

How to Become a Teaching Assistant

Global Warming and Water Quality

Every day, we are bombarded with news from a variety of sources: from newspapers to Web sites to television to friends. With the 24-hour news cycle, it can be difficult for the average person to filter through all this information. This can be even more frustrating when it comes to news that directly impacts you and your family.

With the flood of information on global warming and its effects on the environment, it can seem as if the average consumer is being left out. The news tends to concentrate more on the macro level and not specifically on how global warming does and can affect individuals and families.

Families throughout the country enjoy the outdoors-boating, swimming, camping, hiking, etc. But with the potential damage that global climate change can have on our outdoor fun, it’s essential for us all to understand the extent of the damage that could occur.

Top Tips for School Trips Overseas

Sometimes the prospect of arranging sports or performing arts school trips overseas for younger students can be a rather daunting one. Here are some top tips that you may find will help things to go rather more smoothly.

1. Consider using specialists to help. It is perfectly possible to make most of the arrangements for your own school trips, but you may find it rather less traumatic if you engage an organisation with relevant experience to help. There are specialist companies available with expertise in things such as school sports tours.

2. Choose a multi-interest destination for school trips. Trips exist to great cities such as Berlin, Paris and Krakow, or to fascinating regions such as Catalonia and Lake Garda. Even the best behaved younger students may become bored if their surroundings do not give sufficient diversity of activity for them to have a break from their day to day coaching in the sports or performing arts.

How to stop Smoking (Tips to succeed)

A lot of people want to know how to quit smoking. Advices and techniques can be found everywhere, but it is important to know that quitting is a matter of will. On the other hand, there are thousands of people who quit every day, and you can be one of them.

Maybe you are wondering how others can quit. The answer to the question is very simple, but the theory is simpler than practice. The statistics say that 95% from the people who try to quit would continue to smoke until the end of the first year. So it’s clear that you should have a very strong motivation and desire to quit.

If you want to grow the will and the motivation to succeed, you will have to learn the implications of quitting. Try to use the “cold turkey method” that means instant stop. The first milestone would be the first day. If you are able to stay without smoking for a whole day, you are on the good path. Three days is another important milestone, as the nicotine would start to be eliminated from the body. After two weeks, you won’t think about a cigarette every moment of the day, but the satisfaction of quitting would start to disappear.

At 486, populist Jakarta parties on

Under Governor Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, Jakarta celebrated its 486th anniversary in a populist manner.

Somewhat similar to the 2013 New Year celebration, an estimated two million Jakartans poured in to the National Monument (Monas) square and the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle on Saturday evening to attend the Jakarta Night Festival, the peak of a series of events held in the past weeks. The city, for once, looked friendlier than usually with streets turned over to pedestrians and glittering lamps on trees along Jl. Medan Merdeka Selatan.

Visitors, including many from the outskirts, thronged to temporary stages on the square and near the traffic circle to enjoy music and or just sit and relax, chatting in groups or taking photographs on streets sterilized of cars and motorcycles since the afternoon.

The celebration was marked with the cutting ceremony of a giant tumpeng (cone-shaped rice) in front of City Hall on Jl Merdeka Selatan, led by Jokowi. 

Uruguay old guard still going strong

It was only a short while ago that Uruguay were on the crest of a wave. After squeezing through to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ La Celeste suddenly clicked, embarking on a storming run to the semi-finals and going on to prove that was no fluke by winning the Copa America the following year.

Then, just as suddenly as it had built up momentum, the Uruguayan juggernaut stalled, the push for a place at Brazil 2014 losing steam as the confidence the team had acquired in a glorious two years evaporated. Nobody, least of all the Uruguay players themselves, could explain why. In fact, such was the reverse in their fortunes that stalwarts such as Diego Forlan and Diego Lugano, both into their 30s now, feared their golden era was over.

Poems about Life Struggles

Life is the sum of experiences that we encounter as we go through life. Day to day struggles and triumphs are experienced by all of the world's creatures. As human beings, when we encounter a challenge, we have freedom to choose how to react. Every decision that we make leads us down a different road. We will never come to exactly the same crossroads. Every decision the we make has significance. The tiniest choice that we make reverberates throughout the entire universe.

Brazil's elation, Mexico's consolation

If the first halves of Italy-Brazil and Japan-Mexico somewhat failed to fire, the second halves were frantic and fabulous, witnessing seven goals as Group A finished on a real high.

 The opening goal in Salvador was straight out of a storybook. Only on the field because of an injury to David Luiz, Bayern Munich defender Dante scored in his hometown and his first competitive game as the hosts took the lead just before half-time. Almost 850 miles away in Belo Horizonte, the crowd went wild at the news of the goal. They were to be off their seats in both cities a further three times after the break as a Freddouble and another moment of brilliance from Neymar ensured they finished at the section’s summit. Although Emanuele Giaccherini and Giorgio Chiellini were on target for Gli Azzurri, this was the first time since the final of UEFA EURO 2012 that Italy have conceded four goals.

Environment

               Environment is one of the place or vehicle to be used as a medium of learning in the learning process, being able to generate interest and stimulate them to do and prove it. It is very well done and fits in the subjects of biology, because the students understanding of the biology is the science of recitation and of no value for life and also as a result of the learning experience that is verbalistis and never invited to learn out of the classroom while the biological sciences must be in accordance with what that exist in nature because, in high school biology is the science subjects in which students are required to understand the biological concepts and develop reasoning power to solve the problems facing everyday.

             

A Quality Framework For Higher Education

Quality is a complex concept. Its meaning varies with diferent people and organizations. Its deinitions range from the conventional to the more strategic. From the conventional perspective, a quality item is one that “wears well, is well constructed, and will last a long time”. Traditional management views quality as synonymous with goodness, elegance, excellence, or “I know quality when I see it”. However, for managers doing business in a very competitive global marketplace, the strategic deinition, which is “meeting the needs of customers,” makes more sense. Strategically, quality has been deined as follows:

• Performance to the standard expected by the customer – Fred Smith, CEO of Federal Express.

I felt an enormous nature

Kagawa want all out attack againts Mexico

Although the Samurai Blue are already eliminated from the Confederations Cup, the 24-year-old playmaker is determined to put on a show in their final group game

Shinji Kagawa has refuted claims Japan will take it easy in their final Confederations Cup group match against Mexico and insists his side will do everything possible to win.

Brazil president defends World Cup costs

Brazil president Dilma Rousseff has insisted that the costs for the 2014 World Cup do not come out of the taxpayers' money as she has made it clear next year's tournament is financed by companies making use of the stadiums.

The South American country has been rocked by anti-government protests during the Confederations Cup, but Rousseff has little doubt that Brazil will do a fine job hosting the World Cup.

"We will treat our guests with respect and make a great World Cup. Football and sport are symbols of peace and peaceful coexistence.
