If I was an inventor, I would invent a magic fragrance. Astronauts would take a bottle of this fragrance into the outer space and they would inject it into our atmosphere. Of course, the fragrance wouldn't be dangerous for the atmosphere.

The magic of the fragrance is very simple.
 
It needs only one single injection and everythings changes.

The effect of the fragrance:

People speak one common language, no one knows what war is, no hunger, no thirst. But the earth will not be a land of milk and hone

Last Sunday, two Coptic churches in Egypt were attacked by terrorists killing more than 40 people who were attending the mass. Most of the victims were Christians participating for the Palm Sunday - the beginning of Lent. It’s an important event for Christians and Catholics alike. 

To all prayer warriors wherever you are, please include in your intentions and prayers those victims of terrible acts of cruelty especially terrorism around the globe particularly in Egypt and Sweden, as well as the po

If I had the chance to invent something and enough brain power for that of course, I would create a teleportation machine. I love visiting new places and meeting new people, but I hate process of traveling. So that would be a time-saving eco machine that could transfer you from A to B within a few seconds. Imagine it, the machine would give us the chance to be close to our relatives and friends no matter how far they are from us, we would be able to reach them at any moment.

There are so many peo

Live for Yourself, Never for Others
Xuefeng
(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)

The most selfish people in the world are those who claim to live for others. The most selfless people in the world are those who admit to living for themselves.

The Greatest Creator creates every life as an individual, endowed with a unique appearance and nature, free will, and a full physiological system. Each individual is given a mission that is uniquely different from all others. As individuals, each of us

There is no short cuts. If you are no 100% time to spend for a day, Evil will come and occupy in your mind. Always should have a list of things to be one and read regularly. It will help you to avoid negative thoughts 

Well, most of my EC friends know that I am a chemist and when it comes to inventions I will speak about chemistry as it is my GODESS! My students often ask me why I don't invent some magic pills for them not to learn, but to take such pills before going to bed and to wake up being as knowledgeble as their teachers. I always say they can compose them themselves if they learn at least a little. But today I'd like to speak about some other magic pills we all need to take from time to time.

This is Danny’s Writing Challenge.

“If I Were an Inventor”. 

If I could invent anything that would have been ‘love’.  But love cannot be an invention.  An invention of a thing is made which does not exist previously. But love is there since the time memorial.  Yes, love is always there, it is another thing that we have forgotten it, or have buried it in the dust and/or ashes of our meanness, our hypocrisy, our selfishness. It would, therefore, be a discovery, a reviving, an incarnation, an avatar

I had to see her.  I should have been in time because I hate to see her wait for long, but I had gotten my hand tight and I could not leave on time.  I ought to have called her but I couldn’t.  I must have been there as promised.  But life, oh! Life makes so difficult for us sometimes. I could have lost her trust. She might have thought I did nothing to keep my words.  I felt so disappointed in myself, I ought to have let her know my problem in any way.  I might have called her but I was heavily

Lately, I’ve been practicing this formula to lessen my burden and stress in everyday occurrences, most especially if I’m facing difficulties and hardships in life. Yes, I know a lot of people doesn’t like Math, but please don’t take it so complicated that you’ll end up vomiting because you can’t fix that Pythagorean Theorem. This is as simple as one plus one, all you have to do is to think deeply, guys, I tell you this saved me from so many troubles and future brawls.

But before I continue, one s

Well, my last challenge was just a joke as it was posted on Fool's Day and only a few people decided to tell us something humorous and funny. However, most of their jokes and pranks were really good. Here are my special thanks to Rose and Bet who posted very funny blogs!

Today, I'd like to propose you a challenge that is not expected to raise a new wave of misundersanding and hatred on EC. Let's calm down and speak about inventions. I hope you have learned some grammar from my tests and explanati

The tilting of the earth is deliberately set up

Xuefeng

August 15, 2002
As far as the orbit of the earth is concerned, the earth is tilted at a gradient of 23.5 degrees (you can use a globe as a sample). Without the tilting, there will be no alternating seasons on the earth, the equator will be unbearably hot, the temperate zone will be turned into the Frigid Zone, and Siberia of Russia will be part of the Antarctica. If the tilting is at 90 degrees, the ice and snow in Antarctica will all be melt

Recently, I watched a movie - a masterpiece - from my film collection; rewatched actually - going down the memory lane, ya know?

"[...]there was this king and he ruled over his kingdom. Right in the middle of the kingdom there was a well. That's where everybody drank. One night, this witch came along and she poisoned the well. And the next day, everybody drank from it except the king and they all went crazy. They got together in the street and they said, "We got to get rid of the king, 'cause the

"Kintsugi" or "Kintsukuroi" is a Japanese word that means "to repair with gold", and it's the art of repairing pottery with gold and understanding that piece is more beautiful for having been broken.... It makes it more special and unique...

Kintsugi can also relate to the Japanese philosophy of "no mind", which encompasses the concepts of non-attachment and acceptance of change as aspects of human life.

"Not only is there no attempt to hide the damage, but the repair is literally illuminated...

"Dear my people, today, in this rainy season, I summoned you here to announce a PRIZE CONTEST. Any of you who have wings to fly can participate in. The challenge is you should GO TO THE MOON and find your spouse there. If you're successful, I will let you free and START A NEW LIFE", says the King to his people.

Afterwards, millions of them take part in this challenge. They are surprised as they found many moons are there. Some moons are also moving ahead so fast that oftentimes kill participants.

I remember long time ago that I was fond of Sailor Stars. I am a big fan of anime Sailor Moon and her friends.

I love Usagi, Sailor Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Pluto, Saturn and all include Mask Tuxedo or known as Mamoru.

I also love Usagi's daughter, she is so cute and I forgot her name. Was it Usako?

Anyway that's how I spend my Sat night by drinking ice blend cappuccino and listening to some hits wonder in 2008. Ciao!

Yes, I'm talking about 'participle clauses'. Don't confuse 'participle' with 'particle', though - participle is the form of a verb that ends with '-ed' or '-ing'. 

Adjectival participle clauses are like relative clauses, for example, "Anyone trying to move the stone will get injured." (= Anyone who tries/is trying to move the stone will get injured.)

What I really want to convey, however, is that 'adjectival participle clauses can only be used to talk about actions that happen the same time as the
