Note: I do not own these definitions.

They are totally made-up phrases, yet ridiculously accurate.

Next time you forgot these words, use these definitions.
Just kidding...
Don't do that. The only purpose is to have some fun with words. Can you think of any?

Kitten: cat puppy       Gloves: finger pants    Milk: Cereal water   Doughnut: sugar bagel   French fries: potato sticks        Ice cubes: water with corners  The sun: space light       Kleenex: sneeze paper     Feathers: bird leaves     Camel

 There is no doubt that a lot of people who use motorbikes in their daily lives would never change these means of transport for the other.What is the reason for their choice, if everyday there are a lot of accidents in which motorcyclists die?

First of all,we can't compare riding a motorbike with driving a car.When you drive a motorbike you feel wind in your hair,what makes you free.Moreover,motorbikes use less fuel and don't need expensive repairs,what makes them cheaper than cars.Finally,they a

First and foremost, this collection of courts' transcripts is definitely not mine. This collection was shared through the Facebook. Apparently it was copied from a book called Disorder in the Courts by Charles M. Sevilla. These conversations or interrogations by the lawyers/attorneys towards the witnesses sound too ridiculous that they could only be real. These transcripts were taken words for words by the court reports. 

So, I hope this collection of courts' transcripts can brighten your weekend

An Old Story of Friendship:

A father and a son were arguing about friendship. Father was viewing that there existed no true friendship as it was in his time. The son was opposing the viewpoint of his father and insisting that the true friendship also existed in his time. 

“Ok we should examine this by visiting your friend and mine and put some problem before them to help us out” The father suggested.

“In the middle of night?” The son said hesitatingly.

“Yes this is the exact time to test their frien

I am always impressed by people, who are able to pack their stuff and help others, no matter what is going on behind the scene - if civil conflict, natural disaster or war. I would say that Doctors without borders are one of them. Strong, brave, patient, flexible and with the golden heart. Such abilities can be considered abilities of the real heroes because there aren't so many people, who would risk their own life to rescue lives of unknown people just in the name of humanity. I do admire each

LET US TAKE OUR ENGLISH TO THE NEXT LEVEL.................... 

"Cheese", or "say cheese" is what UK and US people usually say when someone is taking a picture, because it makes your mouth to show a 'smile-like' shape.

In the late 19th century, it was more nice to keep the mouth small, which led to photographers to use the phrase "say prunes" (so the 'duck face' is old like that!)

I've also heard another instructions like:
"Smile" / "Smile for the camera", "Look at the birdie" or "Act serious!"

But the interesting thing is to find out the common words said in

A cute baby girl, a little girl, a teenager chick, a woman, a mom a granny. A circle of life, a life proces that has been repeating for thousands years. Even now at this moment many of them are dying while others are being born or fighting against something what bothers them. Anyway, let´s focus on a WOMAN.

How do you see a woman? As somebody who is here always for you to support you? As somebody who is always able to give you full service starting with cosy clean house ending with making tasty d

My answer was...."I am a very optimistic person. I have a strong will to achieve things that I want in life and i must say I am a very energetic person. There were times when people said that I just did not know how to channel my energy in the right track but I think.....hmmm I think I am happy the way I am. My enthusiasm and energy really sets me apart....hooo"

After telling those unfortunately she just told me"Good answer but I was just asking your name...."

When Sun is hiding behind the trees

While warming up the gentle breeze,

That touches tenderly your lips

Playing whilsily in your hair

You wish so much that life was fair...

When the day dies slowly away

You wish there was a place to stay

To never leave anyone behind!

To never lose but always find.

You whisper aimlessly a simple prayer

How much you wish this life was fair...

Hi everyone! 

I analyzed some things on my way home today and I came to one conclusion: life is difficult and hard only because of you...only because you want to see it. But why? Because if I complain that I have some problems, someone will pity me or help me and I'll get my portion of attention and care. Can't I get this another way? 

Terrorists, bombs, rapes, criminals, lack of money, diseases, fights, conflicts, loneliness, sadness, disability to smile when you want cry, bad health, negative th

I'm not a body with a soul...

And I'm not a soul with a body...

I am a soul with no body... and nobody...

But...

There is a point,

Being disappointed, it's a dead cinch...

And being hopeful, it seems so hard...

But doesn't matter anyway...

'Cause I'm the man of hard works...

So let's use the last bullet...

Put it in the weapon of a new attempt...

Sighting along the barrel of ideas...

To the lots of targets...

My last shot...

Hope...

I am like a gentle mist, being bitten by the first light of the sun; slowly fading like the daylight settling below the distant horizon.

What challenges are involved in learning online?

Perhaps one of the greatest challenges for teachers is to deliver a consistent experience to a large and varied general populations.

Teachers and students should not carry through device management. Their priorities should be placed on learning.

Technology is not the creator. Substantial belief in innovation is less important than the requirements of students and teachers.

Teachers have a well-defined responsibility with implementing, and identifying,

LEARNING AND TEACHING ONLINE
by Halina Ostankowicz-Bazan
There are numerous definitions of online learning in the literature, definitions that reflect the diversity of practice and associated technologies. Carliner (1999) defines online learning as educational material that is presented on a computer. Khan (1997) defines online instruction as an innovative approach to delivering instruction to a remote audience, using the Web as the medium.
However, online learning involves more than just the
