Education is a basic human right that is often taken for granted in the western world. The South African Constitution which is arguably one of the most democratic in the world, states that every child is entitled to receive an education. Educating our children is an investment in our future. How do we build a strong and sustainable country without proper education? read full story
Conspiracy theory. At 9:20 PM, July 16,1999, John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. radioed the tower at an airport near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts announcing that he was preparing to land. Seconds after, his plane exploded in mid-air, and this was witnessed by several witnesses including a local newspaper reporter and an attorney. On board were his wife Caroline Bessette and her sister Lauren. Lauren's luggage was recovered miles from the crash site, an event that can only be caused by a mid-air explosion.
The Second Battle The Battle of El Alamein was one of the great battles of World War 2.
For about fifteen terrible minutes the weapons thundered. Then suddenly, far to the east, two searchlights flashed into the sky like a celestial sign and remained stationary.
CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO CHILDREN: CHECKERS AND LIFE Two 8 year old learning disabled students were in my office and asked if they could play checkers while we talked. I said "sure" and gave them a checkers set. While they were setting up the pieces I got a phone call.
Take Sigmund Freud…Please! On a recent trip to Israel, I was browsing in the Sigmund Freud Library on the Hebrew University campus in Jerusalem. I came across some interesting documents and journal articles which reveal new information about the development of Freud’s theory, particularly regarding Jewish issues.
Why I am starting to hate America Hate can sometimes rare its ugly face within us, and venting what many feel the same about, relates to this important article about America, illegal aliens and what America is becoming.
NATO LEADER THE HIGHLIGHT OF DUTCH HYPOCRISY When Nato Secretary-General, Jaap De Hoop Scheffer recently made some rather hopelesly inadequate comments about new marriage laws in Afghanistan, laws that are at best dubious in both Islamic law as well as International law, he must have forgotten about some of his own rather dubious practices that he had presided over as Nato Secretary-General or had knowledge of as a member of a Dutch Government that in, human rights terms, smells of abuses and inadequacies.
After Blast—The Final Years Diary entry September 2059 (A.B. 37). The sun released a plasma blast somewhere in September of 2012.
Travelling the World part 5 - High Speed Trains a Possibility for Australia Australia must be one of the world's few economically developed countries that has not as yet seen the development of a high-speed railway network; the reason for the lack of such a system being a lack of Government initiatives, a lack of vision in terms of what is possible in railway development, a large country with a reasonably small population and last but not least, entrenched vested interest by those making the decisions.
WRESTLING WITH THE STARS A building in Pittsburgh was levitated on April 5, 1992. The Polumbo Center hovered majestically over the pavements of Pittsburgh for about three hours. How? The building was raised by the heart and courage of high school state wrestling champions who gathered in a tournament to determine the national champions of the USA in 13 weight classes.
The "Coffee Lid Sip Hole Plug Stopper Starbucks Lid" or (C.L.S.H.P.S.S.L. for short) In this high paced society it is nice to see that consumers aren't the only ones who are so wired that they can't even stop to think. Some of the most successful businesses are so fast passed with their product development that they forget to stop and actually ask if a product is necessary to develop. Starbucks has perhaps been partaking a little too much of their own product to slow down and realize that this little seemingly ingenious invention is nothing short of ridiculous.
Creativity Requires Discipline The first experience of sex with another person often does not go as well as fantasy may predict. However, with a little love, some self-discipline, and a lot of creative practice, sex can become a fantastic part of life.
Is There Truth in Advertising or Does Their Advertising Never Ring True? When a company tries and sells you their product, wouldn't it make sense to first demonstrate that they live on the same planet as the rest of us? Prove to me you are human first, then try and sell me relief for my pain. If you actually reside in the twilight zone then go and peddle your crap there instead.
This space for sale Unless we are being completely deceived by everything in the Wall Street Journal, the US and other world markets are teetering on the edge of a chasm of unknown depth. Allusions are made to the “great depression” but in retrospect even that catastrophic moment in America’s rise to King of the Capitalists, might pale in comparison. How did we ever get into this mess? Who is to blame?
