While you're reading a history article, the only thing that can help you to picture a certain historic scenario is your imagination. But if there's a photo in there, your situation is totally different. It shows you how something actually looked, it helps you understand that specific moment more intimately. Be it a historical landmark, a famous person or random photo of the past - they all have amazing stories behind them. And some of 'em haunt you forever.

I'm pretty sure most of you've seen Alf

A simple and complicated answer for this question is "time is the indefinite events that occur sequentially in irreversible order". Also there is another question that "our perception about time how much differ from its reality". Some scientists believe that time does not exist and it is an illusion. These scientists see the world as indefinite simultaneous snapshots. Passing of time in different parts of the world vary from each other. It depends on the gravity forces and velocity. If you go to

If there's food in your fridge, you have a wardrobe full of decent clothes, a place to sleep and you know, a roof over your head, you're richer than 75% of the world. If you have a saving account, a balanced checkbook and there's some money in your wallet right now, you're among the 8% of the world's wealthy. If you woke up this morning feeling more healthy as a horse and less sick as a dog, you're more blessed than the million people who won't survive this week. If you've never experienced the

Learning as a natural way.

I aspire to be fluent in English but have a very strange allergy to learning English Grammar. Besides learning grammar, I afraid spent most of my time making acquaintance with the grammar rules, which was boring, besides this I feel long time of studying grammar only killed my talent and made my brain frozen. Besides such sensation, I have a tendency to get careless with taking challenge where grammar is involved except taking Expector's challenge. It is an amazing feel

The village was getting ready to welcome Justina who won the gold medal in women's 200M freestyle swimming and in 100m backstroke in the Olympics. Justina's father was overwhelmed by her success. Justina is a 17 year old high School student. Besides swimming, Justina likes windsurfing and skiing. Everyone in Justina's family went to the airport to welcome Justina, except her disabled mum. At the airport the reporters surrounded and interviewed her. Justina said, ''except for my father, no one el

There were so many friends, who came and went in my life without being noticed, but Ahmed left long lasting impression on me. He used to sit beside me at the same desk during the class. He always encouraged me whenever I hesitated to do anything new. When I performed bad, all the classmates laughed at me except him. Besides this, he always told me very confidential matters without fear of being betrayed.

I used to make fun of him whenever he talked to me about his fiancee. Hearing the name of h

Yes, you're quite right, the two words (besides and except) are often confused - 'besides' means 'in addition to' or 'as well as', while 'except' means 'not including'. 

Be careful, don't confuse 'besides' with 'beside' - the latter means 'next to' or 'at the side of'.

Right, I should have mentioned 'apart from', which can be used with either meaning (including or excluding). I'd add 'other than', which means 'not including' or 'without' (= 'except'). 

Sometimes you use 'except for' instead of 'exc

Grief can be the garden of compassion.

If you keep your heart open through everything,

your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom

(Rumi)

However much I might try to expound or explain love,
when I come to love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations...

Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers.

Everyone has been made for some particular work,
and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

From LOST TWIN EPISODE I 

Angel is now around 5 going to 6 she had a little memories, she had her last memory remembered. It was a bracelet that rings a bell. She loves wearing that bells. Her parents keep on giving her a memorable token. She woke up with cries & she had a bad nightmare. She keeps asking where do I came from. She saw a girl that keeps on giving her a mock face that really giving her a grudge. She also seen some bad mens from an awkward rental place who knocked down their house. S

In my pitiable knowledge, show off is mostly an egotistical tendency that comes with a requirement to get praise/honor/admiration by others. It may feel them superior among viewers or in the public. We people have a tendency to show others how splendid and cool our lives are! In life there, many of the choices we make only based on to look better to others. I would say it is an attention seeking disorder.

Some people show off to achieve a hopeful react, if they behave this way then will return ba

Dear Old Friends,

It's been a while since you heard from me.  Many good things happened and some bad.  But I decided to drop by to share the most special event that took place in my life recently...  

Finally, I married my mom off! Not just to anybody but to the man she truly loves. It was a beautiful wedding attended by our closest friends and relatives. It was the day I've been waiting for - to see her in her happiest moment. All her life she's been working hard and caring for other people's wel

It was only two days ago that MARY posted this blog:

And miraculously(!) everything went back to normal. Sorta. Until today. On July 26, I, A738a, being of sound mind, decided to post a blog but somehow an entity, something that is pure evil and the death of all good things didn't let me. Obviously, I reported the problem. But so far I've got jack with a side of squat!

I've been trying to post a blog (not this one, naturally) and this

Museums are awesome. Not always though, especially when you're in high school and it's Field Trip Day. And what place's better than a museum for the school counselor to half a** his duties? Anyway, how many busts should you see before they all start to look the same? And don't get me started on frescoes. They're nice an' all, but you can only see so many of them before neck cramps start. Therefore, it's not surprising that some folks get a little bored of going to museums.

Okay, you are in a muse

Let's keep striking while the iron is hot! Due to the connection problem of MyEC these days, I will try to write more.... I hope you, too, friends. Don't let MyEC go down because of our absence. :))) :D

Once ever had my great friend said that there were three things that made a friendship would last long. They were Gratitude, Apology, and Compliment. I remember this a lot until now and as I observed in my opinion it is true. Not only a friendship, but also all kinds of relationship, such as famil

My dear friends! I promised to post the blog about the Carpathians and I am keeping my word! It was an unforgettable rest and I'd like to share my impressions with you.

You may know, that the Carpathian Mountains are the oldest in Europe. They are not very high. The highest peak is about 2000 m tall. But they are so picturesque! I have already told you a little about those places. So, not to repeat myself, I will tell you about our trip to the area called Zakarpatye, i.e., the Western part of tha

Love…………………”Self-sacrifice for the sake of beloved”

Hard to believe, hunn, but it is true.  If you give it just a stressed thought you will find the truth, that there is always an act of love behind each and every act of self-sacrifice, and the highest attribution of ‘love’………..self-sacrifice is FANA FILLALLAH, to finish own-self for the sake of love for Allah, (this is another branch of Sufisim).

Self-sacrifice is the noblest trait in human character.  Giving up of one’s own interests for the sak

Parents:

It is essential for the children to obey their parents, being the most experienced guides, and the best well-wishers that they (children) can have.  They always support them, they sacrifice their own comforts for their children’s sake, they love them as no one else can, and they are the greatest blessing which the kids can have.  In return, it is, therefore, the duty of the children that they revere them, to obey them and to make them happy.  The parents have no object in view in advisin

It can be so frustrating if you can't use MyEC - for some members, no day is complete without visiting MyEC. 

Sometimes MyEC does encounter technical problems or you're having some other connection problems, which will make it so hard for you to read or write blogs or comments on MyEC. 

What if that's the case? Apart from reporting the problem to MyEC tech team, What would you do? 

I'd visit other websites instead while hoping MyEC is accessible again. I'd even try to watch a TV drama in English. O
