Nowruz is the Persian, or Iranian, spring celebration of the New Year. It’s the most important festival of the year in Iran, and it's a public holiday there and in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Albania and other countries in South and Central Asia. It’s a happy occasion, and there may be as many as 13 days’ holiday from school!

When is it?

Nowruz begins at the exact day, hour and minute of the spring equinox, when night and day are of equal length. This is usually on 21 March. It’s the day

As I took my step forward

My heart is pounding like a coward

This warm air that I felt beneath my feet

Encouraging for conquering as this love beat

You are there, sitting at the corner

Giving your attention to all people you could bear

If I could, I will come closer and wherever

I will follow your every gesture, any side you stare

You’re smiling eyes that are so mesmerizing

I want to swim to that deep that illicitly pleasing

Can I touch your face and run my fingers

Trace every feature in my dreams that l

Her word touches my heart, her personality robs my eyes out of their innocence.

"What you think you become"

If you have a great dreams and you want to achieve, but you thoughts are not align with your thoughts or you are thinking something make you comfortable. Then you are not going to achieve your dreams. 

Here I am going to explain a small exercise that control your thoughts.

First, because you can have clients in any place in the world and work from your computer, with an Internet co

Hi guys. My full name is Nixie Wulandari. I’m 14 years old in February. Everybody calls me Nix or Wulan. I’ll tell you who are in my family. First there is Dad, Edward Nakamura. He works for the International Health Institute near my school, Jackson High School. This school was built by Michael Jackson’s fans to memorize him. Second is my Mum, Margaret Ann and I call her Mum Ann. She is a part time Spanish teacher in my school. I have 1 big sister and 1 big brother, which makes me the youngest.

What a young lady she is! So versatile, so prominent, so adventurous and so daring! Perhaps, she doesn’t know how great she is. If she did, she wouldn’t spend so much time praying. God she prays endowed her with everything any girl can only dream about. He heard her prayers. My friends, what I am talking about? It is nature that endowed her with flexible body to dance so bewitching, a sharp tongue to argue with teachers, keen mind to parry my blows. If she likes, I will say that God only helped

She is a WOMAN, what else to say? Let me concentrate as thinking about her blows off my mind! She is a WOMAN, what a magic word! It is so comprehensive, so meaningful and so mysterious! She is a WOMAN in everything she does, even in choosing her avatars. They reflect her inner world and her mood. They tell us much more than they are supposed to! But let's leave them alone as there is much more to say. She is unique like any woman, but her uniqueness is so special! Her grim humor on the verge of

My dear little friend, I know well,

I can’t be your mum, similarly sister,

Any girlfriend or will not be wife,

Also, I know well, I can’t see you,

I can’t meet you, I can’t touch you,

Because I’m only your angel, as you told,

But if you were anywhere,

I’m always thinking,    

If I could, hold your face on my chest,

If I could touch your head motherly,

I can feel you that much,

 I can read your innocent eyes.

Really, I hear your Voice of heart,

When you are crying, Cried me too a lot,

Because you belong my hea

This on the motivation of Luci's Writing Challenge: Who Am I.

As I’d like to make this blog humorous, I will write a story.

Morning… 5 am. Most of ME is still sleeping, but some restless indefatigable part of ME is already up and wants me to do the same. No, no…. It is too early. I am lying still without opening my eyes unwilling to surrender the peaceful darkness. But that importunate part of me persists and gets its way. It makes me get up and feel my way to the bathroom. No sooner have I got there than I see somebody in the large mirror.

I ask: “Who are y

It all started one December night a few decades ago. On this special day somewhere in the middle of Eastern European "jungle" full of polluted air it happened. Awesome little Capricorn came to its existence! Yeahhhh... Alien was born! I was born!

Believe it or not but my mom used to say I was a very nice, obedient baby, who was able to wait at one place for hours - in other words - where they left me, they found me (cute dog, right?) Later on as my physical body was growing of course my personali

My friends, dear learners, I am really happy to see you are trying to do your best correcting my horrible sentences. But I also see that no one knows how to say the sentence 8 correctly. So, here are my explanations.

If we use the verbs TO WANT/NEED after a subject defining a living thing, they are always followed by the infinitive.  But if a subject is non-living thing, these verbs are followed by the gerund. Here are some examples:

She wants to know the details.

Well, here is my Writing Challenge, which might look little bit difficult or hard as your task will be EITHER to share something about yourself OR to share your view on EC member you consider your friend and know something about them...

He walked to that narrow dark alley and he got some plans on his head. Tonight he will do it, whatever it takes.

His steps were almost stumbled, but there’s no slightest slipped as he headed his way home as he was gone for days experienced nearly his deathbed. He stopped at the front of neighbor’s store, “give me one cigarette”, the lady vendor gazed who he was and surprised was written on her face. She handed the cigarette, the man lit it up and turned back. “Hey Gido, where’s your payment?”

The power of love

Longing becomes fulfillment.
Hope becomes certainty.
Loneliness becomes togetherness.
Two bodies becomes to one body.
Isolation becomes unity.
Feeling becomes passion.
Earth becomes heaven .
Sadness becomes happiness.
Doubt becomes trust.
Devil becomes angel.
Day becomes night and night becomes day.
Two hearts compose one song.
You get wings and your souls want to fly to the moon
You hold the stars in your hands.
Nobody can stop you.
There is no pain, no guilt,

My friends, I am posting my regular grammar test as I usually do at the beginning of the weekend. If you are tired of my tests, just tell me, but I see you are learning and most of you started writing much better as I do read your blogs and comments on different discussions. So, let's go on learning if you like.

This test is not as easy as the previous one. You should pay attention to the word order, the nonfinite forms of the verbs, the tenses, voices, prepositions, articles, comparisons, and so

The use of an inappropriate filter destroys the signal, which has a high differential insertion loss in the signal frequency range or does not match the transmission line impedance. Therefore, do not choose the filter that will affect the signal quality before insertion.

If the transmission line does not match the impedance characteristics of the common mode choke coil signal reflection or other phenomena will occur and affect the signal quality. Signal lines related to the requirements of the
