General Instructions For Composing An Excellent Humorous Essay
Follow these instructions to enable you to compose a most excellent humorous essay.
- Don't Offend.
- What some people find funny, others may not! A sense of humor is sometimes based in a person's character; it may be embedded in their upbringing or any other aspect of life that defines their identity.
- Never set out to humiliate, scorn or mock a person's, religion (belief system), integrity, skills, home life or their family. The list could be longer but essentially the message is know your audience.
- What makes a humorous story?
- Take the time to read some humorous writings. Compare the tactics and skills of at least two different writers. Try to analyze why you find the text funny. Is it because their work targets particular behaviors?
- You need to ask yourself if writing humorous texts is an innate skill or is it something that a writer need to develop. Think about different styles of writing such as report writing or narrative. In what way do they differ? How are they achieved?
- Trial Some Story Telling.
- Start by telling a funny short story. A funny story is not necessarily a joke. A funny or humorous story does not necessarily have a punch line. Whilst telling the story think of the non-verbal skills that you are also using to get your point across to your audience.
- When you tell a story in front of an audience even if it one or two people, you react to their reactions and you may choose to develop your story around their reactions. When you are writing you do not have firsthand experience this.
- Now try writing that story. You may find that your writing closely resembles a narrative, in that you need to set the scene, as well as put your own spin on the situation. Do you
- Know your audience
- Who are you writing your essay for? Define your audience, will it just be your teacher or will the other students in your class get to read it too.
- Relate to your audience. Are you going to write about an activity or experience that you all have shared? Will your work be a humorous slant on a game of football or shopping?
- If in any doubt about the content of your work then run it past your teacher first before you start writing it.
- Choose your vocab accordingly to your audience - you will not be able to appeal to everyone so decide early on who actually your audience is.
Find that you are using the same or different language?

LOCAL STOCKS ended the first trading day of 2021 on a high note as investor sentiment got a lift from the ongoing rollout of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines around the world.
The 30-member Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) improved 57.79 points or 0.8% to close at 7,197.50 on Monday, while the broader all shares index rose 44.55 points or 1.04% to 4,317.16.
Timson Securities, Inc. Head of Online Trading Darren Blaine T. Pangan said in a mobile phone message that the bourse improved as investors were optimistic on the distribution of several COVID-19 vaccines.
Britain begins vaccinating its population on Monday with the COVID-19 shot developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca, touting its position as the first Western country to roll out an inoculation program against the novel coronavirus, Reuters reported.
Britain, which is rushing to vaccinate its population faster than the United States and the rest of Europe in a bid to put the pandemic behind it, is the first country to roll out the Oxford/AstraZeneca shot.
It last year rolled out the Pfizer and Germany's BioNTech vaccine. The first people are expected to be vaccinated with the Oxford/AstraZeneca shot before 0800 GMT.
Other Western countries have taken a longer and more cautious approach to rolling out vaccines, though Russia and China have been inoculating their citizens for months with several different vaccines still undergoing late-stage trials.
Back home, AAA Southeast Equities, Inc. Research Head Christopher John Mangun said the market ended higher on the first trading day of the year as investors remained "cautiously optimistic" on local quarantine measures.
"Selling pressure subsided compared to what we saw in the previous weeks after current lockdown restrictions were extended instead of tightened, which some were expecting," Mr. Mangun said in an e-mail.
Most sectoral indices at the PSE ended in the green on Monday, with financials being the sole decliner as it went down 7.65 points or 0.52% to 1,439.99.
Mining and oil increased 366.51 points or 3.84% to 9,894.66; property climbed 73.9 points or 2.01% to 3,738.37; services went up 20.2 points or 1.33% to 1,534.29; industrials gained 72.82 points or 0.77% to 9,466.24; and holding firms went up 45.75 points or 0.62% to 7,400.40.
Advancers edged out decliners, 124 against 121, while 36 names ended unchanged.
Value turnover on Monday amounted to P10.03 billion with 21.55 billion issues switching hands, lower than the P11.11 billon with 95.98 billion issues during the previous trading session.
Net foreign selling reached P214.08 million, reversing net inflows worth P87.48 million on Dec. 29, the last trading day of 2021.
"7,000 remains the psychological level of support, while 7,300 may be considered the nearest resistance area," Mr. Pangan said. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave with Reuters

The brick observation tower in Volunteer Park, build as a shell over a water tower, is now clearly the highest ground on the largely flat summit area of Capitol Hill in Seattle. A staircase leads to an observation area on top, and boulderers enjoy climbing on the lower sides of the brick walls.
According to the 5-foot contours on the King County GIS iMap website, the highest point on Capitol Hill is just south of Volunteer Park and the observation tower. There are two square-shaped 455-foot contours on the west side of the two blocks bounded by 14th, 15th, Prospect, and Aloha. These areas are almost entirely on private property (residences).
That said, all the land in this vicinity is altered by man over the course of the past century or more, so there is no natural ground left. And the area is largely flat. It is hard to deny as ascent of Capitol Hill to anyone who has been to the tower. When walking south on 14th Avenue and east on Ward, there does not appear to be any higher ground than the earth built up around the tower base.

Carnival queen
A decade after her death, Princess Diana's legacy is not the one that might have been expected
Illustration by Steve O'Brien
IN 1712, aged two, Samuel Johnson was brought to London by his mother. Almost blind and ill with scrofula, he was taken to St James's Palace to be "touched" by Queen Anne. Rationalist though he was, Johnson always wore the "touch piece" bestowed on him by the queen, whom he later hazily recalled as "a lady in diamonds and a long black hood".
The practice of "touching" the sick, with its potent associations of magic and semi-divinity, flourished among the medieval and renaissance kings, but seemed to have died out by the beginning of the 19th century. Yet it lived again, until almost the end of the 20th, in the shape of Princess Diana, albeit with the long black hood exchanged for a little black dress.
During her short, sad life, Diana was seen as a scandalously modern princess; after her sadder death, and as its tenth anniversary approaches next week, she has been enlisted as a posthumous poster girl for various progressive causes. "She wasn't seen as posh. She was one of the people," argues Time magazine, hailing her as "the princess [who] transformed a nation". She wasn't—and she didn't. Beyond her roles as fairy-tale princess and floundering, suffering divorcee, Diana's appeal rested in part on an ancient archetype: the monarch who walks among the people, working miracles, in her case among the lepers, AIDS patients and maimed children she unsqueamishly embraced. And just as her draw was in part atavistic, the legacy of her death has proved a surprisingly reactionary one.
Plus ça change
Primitive fears of mortality; obscure feelings of guilt; globalised media; a hot summer: all that, and a lot else besides, contributed to the hysteria of "Diana week", between the crash in Paris and the surreal funeral. The precise chemistry is still unfathomable; like many great events, the maelstrom is remembered differently by different people. But at least one interpretation that seemed plausible during those strange days in London now looks conclusively wrong. At the time, glum monarchists and a few optimistic republicans thought they heard the rumble of tumbrils emanating from the volatile mob outside Buckingham Palace. Yet five years later, huge and loyal crowds turned out for the queen mother's funeral, and for the queen's Golden Jubilee. Ten years on, the Windsors' poll ratings are rosy; Prince Charles has married the once-reviled Camilla; no one talks much any more about the crown skipping over his head to land straight on his elder son's.
Instead of heralding a republic, that week is now often said to have saved the monarchy, by forcing it to emulate the mourned, modern princess. In fact, the royal family started to change before Diana became part of it: the queen had begun to "let in daylight upon the magic", which the original Bagehot warned against, as early as a royal television documentary of 1969. With hindsight, the public seems to have lamented Diana as much because she was one of the royals as because she was estranged from them. At a distance, the masses look less insurrectionist than conservative—and were quickly salved when the queen walked amongst them. (Only a traditional people could have got quite so worked up about how high a flag flew over a palace.) Seeming to challenge the status quo, the moment ultimately reinforced it—and not only in respect of the monarchy.
As well as shaking up the throne, Diana's death has been regarded as the embodiment or spark of broader shifts in Britain's politics and personality. Because of her colour-blind taste in men and the diversity of the crowds, August 1997 has been seen as a milestone in the evolution of a multi-ethnic nation—mostly by people who hadn't noticed that Britain had already become one. In part because they coincided with the advent of Tony Blair's New Labour government, and the ejection of a Conservative one, the weeping and hugging in the Mall have been seen as evidence of a general longing to be part of something bigger: of a rejection of social atomisation, an embrace of compassion and communitarianism. Like the fervent hopes Mr Blair aroused, that longing, if it existed, seems to have faded.
Still more ambitiously, "Diana week" is extolled as the time when Britain's upper lip definitively relaxed. That notion overestimates both how stiff the lip was before—Britain was never quite the emotionally deformed place of lore—and how flaccid it has become since. Even now the British do not routinely ululate at funerals; subsequent and greater tragedies, such as the terrorist attacks of July 7th 2005, have elicited touchingly restrained responses. In so far as that weird week related to the country's emotional life, it was as a safety valve rather than a catalyst.
The exception to that rule involves the institution that once seemed most likely to be changed by Diana's death: the press. Reviled, like the Windsors, for their contribution to her fate, the media refrained from intruding in her two sons' lives—but only temporarily. Now grown up, sometimes sporting girlfriends and inadvisable fancy-dress costumes, they are considered fair game. The commercial and technological forces that made their mother a hyperstar have made celebrity yet more coveted, and privacy still less respected. But Britain's tabloid newspapers did draw another lesson from the post-Diana frenzy: the power and popularity they could muster by launching sentimental crusades, such as the recent one waged over the disappearance of a little girl in Portugal. The mood these crusades whip up, like that in London ten years ago, can feel emotionally coercive, even intimidating, to those who don't entirely share it.
Had she lived, Diana would eventually have become less beautiful, less interesting, perhaps less unhappy. By dying, she immortalised herself as the "queen of hearts". But in truth she became a carnival queen: monarch of a temporary disorder that, when it passed, left the old order intact, or stronger.

Swedish retailer IKEA has stopped selling sausages in its 14 Russian stores after tests showed that sausages from its local supplier contained horse meat, the company said Thursday.
The world's No. 1 furniture retailer, known also for the restaurants at its huge out-of-town stores, said the tests confirmed the presence of horse meat in sausages produced by meat processing company Remit.
Remit was not available for comment.
Last month IKEA withdrew IKEA-branded wiener sausages produced by Familjen Dafgard from stores in a number of European countries and stopped nearly all sales of the same supplier's meatballs across the region.
Those withdrawals did not affect meatballs in Russia, and IKEA said Thursday that tests revealed no horse meat in meatballs being supplied to IKEA's Russian stores by local producer PIT-Product, which is owned by Finnish group Atria.
A European scandal erupted in January when tests in Ireland revealed that some beef products also contained horse meat, triggering recalls of ready meals in several countries and damaging confidence in Europe's vast and complex food industry.

In the Beauty of Minnesota Waters
By Doug McGill
ROCHESTER, MN -- It's the summer festival season, and I'm noticing a theme. Water-Ski Days in Lake City, with its parade of floats depicting rural America, was held the other day, and Minneapolis Aquatennial is being held all this week. Waterama in Glenwood, the Hoyt Lakes Water Carnival, and Catfish Derby Days in Franklin are coming up this weekend.
If you're still up for a watery fest, Riverboat Days in Wabasha will be held next weekend, with its famous Fireman's Water Fight.
We are water-crazed here in Minnesota. We even celebrate the official state liquid in frozen form, building crystalline ice palaces and holding pagan coronation and dethroning rituals for winter gods in the state's capital every year. Not to mention our passion for the ancient rite of ice fishing, a prolonged genuflection to the bounties of the deep.
I appreciate these celebrations because the connection to our state's life-sustaining ponds, streams, lakes and rivers are at the heart of what makes us Minnesotans. The connection is elemental and magical.
The waters of Minnesota also connect us with the world. Growing up here, I thought of Minnesota's waters -- for me the Zumbro River, Lake Superior and the Mississippi River -- primarily as signifiers of the state itself. That is, they defined my place, my home and my own identity to a large degree.
Lake Pepin
Today, though, I see these great waters not just as landmarks that define Minnesota, but also as living connectors -- like blood vessels or super-sensitive membranes -- between our state and the rest of the world.
Partly this is a matter of traveling I've done, and partly it's thanks to the vision of the world that science and ecology gives us, and partly, I think, it's just a matter of getting older and thinking more about responsibility.
For a couple of years in the 1990s, I worked in mainland China, and I frequently stayed in Shanghai. There I would stand on the banks of the Yangtze River, on the boulevard called the Bund, and I would see this mighty artery of commerce bearing coal barges and container ships and tiny tattered junks hauling pigs to market and every kind of ship imaginable.
When I returned to live in Minnesota in 2000, I visited Lake City and stood on the shores of Lake Pepin. I played hockey on Lake Pepin in the winter as a kid, and I sailed and motor-boated there in the summer, and somehow the Mississippi River never seemed terribly grand to me then. When I returned home, though, having seen the Yangtze, somehow the Mississippi had grown in stature in my eyes, and in my soul, too.
Spiritual Work
Maybe this is like saying that one's parents, when one grows up and has seen a little bit of the world, suddenly seem a lot smarter in retrospect. I'm not sure. I do know that my travels have showed me there is no more awe-inspiring a place in the world than right here. At the same time, it's not "better than" but rather "similar to" and "along with." I see the Mississippi River now as like a brother or sister to the Yangtze River.
The ecological view, of course, also fosters apprehension of Minnesota's global connectedness. The health of our state's waters is increasingly seen not just as a mirror of our own, but of the world's environmental health, too.
Gone are the days when pollution in one of Minnesota's lakes could be traced to a local source. Today, any of dozens of toxins in local fish could have originated in Russia, China or Japan. Invasive species arrive in our lakes and rivers via Great Lake barges, our shoe bottoms and Internet mail orders.
So what is our global responsibility as stewards of one of the world's most complex water-land ecosystems? To me, above and beyond the practical matter of keeping our waters clean, a spiritual responsibility is implied.
Hamline University's Center for Global Environmental Education uses a quote by the Japanese conservationist, Tanaka Shozo, as a motto: "The care of rivers is not a question of rivers, but of the human heart."
That means that here in Minnesota -- with our 11,842 lakes and 6,564 streams and rivers -- we've been granted unusual access to someplace precious, little-known and deep. The world needs to learn some things about this place, and quickly. With each lake and river a potential portal to the human heart, we've got a powerful natural resource here, indeed.
So maybe we could each go to our favorite place by the water this summer, get quiet and learn a little something about that place and about ourselves.
Now that would be worth a festival.

Poverty Pushes A National Level Boxer To Become A Sewage Cleaner
Former national boxer Krishna Rout, who has been working as a temporary sweeper in the Howrah Municipal Corporation for the past 15 years, wants to appeal to the Chief Minister of West Bengal to give him a permanent job of dignity.
Who is Krishna Rout?
43-year-old Krishna Rout was a professional boxer a few years back and won several awards at state and national-level competitions. He won a gold medal in All India Invitational Boxing Championship in 1987 at 15 years of age, and a runner-up trophy in 1992. He was also a runner up in West Bengal's State Open Lalchand Roy Memorial Boxing Championship in 1985 and won the same championship in 1987. He has also participated in the training sessions organized by the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation.
What does he do for a living?
Rout first worked as a sweeper of the Corporation for five years, and then was given a job of spraying disinfectants in drains in 2005. He runs a family of six with a paltry sum of Rs. 232 a day. With his two children studying and brother suffering from tuberculosis, he has a hard time trying to make ends meet. Rout also trains over 150 underprivileged children for free, some of whom have gone on to play national and state-level championships.
"I gave interviews at several places but was only given false promises with nothing coming through. I didn't get any job because of my achievement. The government didn't take care of me," said Rout to CNN-IBN. However, he is planning to write a letter to the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee soon, seeking a permanent government job of his stature to live a life of dignity.

SOFIA (Reuters) - The Bulgarian Orthodox Church on Monday urged lawmakers not to ratify a treaty designed to combat violence against women and domestic violence, saying it was opening the door to "moral decay".
It said some of the treaty's clauses raised concern about the future of European Christian civilization, importing alien values from a godless society.
Earlier this month the center-right government led by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov submitted the Council of Europe convention for ratification in the parliament in a move that divided opinions in the European Union's poorest country, which now holds the EU's rotating presidency for the first time since it joined the bloc in 2007.
The 81-article document, also known as the Istanbul Convention, is intended to reinforce measures to protect women from violence. Some 28 countries ratified the treaty, which has been signed by 45 countries, including Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian Church, however, has joined the chorus against ratification, saying it is opening the door to moral decay. It said the document opposes the basic beliefs of the Bulgarian people about faith, nationality, morality, honor, dignity, education and family.
"It is a tool that instills a value system that is unfamiliar to us in order to allow society to be governed by a new model in the interests of a small part of it," the Church's Holy Synod, its top executive body, said in a statement.
Junior coalition partner United Patriots, an alliance of three nationalist parties, and the Socialist Party - the largest opposition party in the Balkan country, have joined forces to oppose the cabinet's decision while populist Will said some texts should be removed.
But Tsvetan Tsvetanov, the head of the ruling GERB party's parliamentary group, it was an EU commitment and would not bring the coalition down.
The Church said the treaty opens the door to spiritual death and is totally opposed to Christianity.
"It raises concerns about the future of the European Christian civilization because it contains a new understanding of man - man as an absolute master, the man without God who follows his desires and passions to such an extent that he can even determine his gender," the Holy Synod said.
"The consequences of denying biblical truths are tragic and we are witnessing them in many societies where "gender" ideology has long been a state policy," the church said.
Around 80 percent of Bulgarians identify themselves as Orthodox Christians - the mainstream religion also in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Greece, Romania and Serbia. But only a few see church-going as important to their lives.
Trust in the Orthodox Church was shaken after a history commission showed a few years ago that many bishops collaborated with the former communist era secret police.

Lewy's records, a birthday and two reunions
Robert Lewandowski made footballing history in the last Bundesliga encounter between FC Bayern and VfL Wolfsburg. The FCB striker only needed eight minutes and 59 seconds for his historic five-goal haul, setting a string of new records. fcbayern.dehas delved into more facts and stats in the build-up to Saturday's top clash.
Happy Birthday, FC Bayern!
The record champions celebrate their 116th anniversary on Saturday. Since winning promotion to the Bundesliga, FCB have played seven games on 27 February, winning the lot – most recently the 4-1 success against FC Köln last year.
Positive record against Wolfsburg
The German record champions and the cup holders have crossed swords in 43 competitive fixtures so far, and the record could hardly be better for the Reds! The impressive yield: 32 wins and only four defeats from a Bayern point of view, with seven games ending in a draw. But beware! All four losses and six of the seven draws took place away to Wolfsburg. The men from Munich won the last meeting in Lower Saxony, a 3-1 cup victory over the Wolves in October 2015.
Wolfsburg strong at home
The Wolves have taken 31 points in this season's Bundesliga campaign, and their yield was far greater at home. Dieter Hecking's troops amassed 24 points, making them the fourth-best home team in the Bundesliga.
Lewandowski's gala
Lewandowski made history when he netted five times in the reverse fixture. It was the fastest hat-trick, the fastest four-goal haul and the fastest five-goal haul in Bundesliga history! In addition, Lewandowski is the only sub in league history to score more than three. Wolfsburg seem to be Lewandowksi's second-favourite opponents: in ten Bundesliga encounters he has netted nine times. He has only scored more often against Freiburg with 10 goals.
FCB strong after CL fixtures
Munich have won all six Bundesliga matches following a Champions League encounter this season, scoring 20 and conceding just one goal. The only time a player put one past netminder Manuel Neuer was in the 5-1 victory over arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Meeting old friends on Saturday
Many Bayern pros are in for a reunion with former team-mates in Lower Saxony. Brazilians Dante (2012-15) and Luiz Gustavo (2011-2013) once played for FCB, winning the historic treble in the 2012/13 season with the Bavarians.
Gräfe in charge
Manuel Gräfe is the man with the whistle for the encounter between the German champions and last season's runners-up. The 42-year old sports scientist from Berlin has previously taken charge of 33 Bundesliga fixtures involving the Reds, most recently the 1-0 victory away to Hannover in December. Gräfe has overseen three Bayern matches away to Wolfsburg, and the record is positive with two draws and one win from a Bayern point of view.

I was just doing a little inventory of how many books I managed to read since completing seminary in November 2008. From then until the end of 2009, my count of theological books read is 25. This was more than I had thought so I have to be happy with that.
My goal for this year of 2010 is to aim for 20 books. If I can manage 20, I'll be happy, considering family and work is keeping me quite busy. How many books to you get to read in a year? What is your goal for 2010?

Halloween and the trick and treaters are just around the corner. The month of November is coming fast and with it the opening of the autumn season of gratitude. We are just past the highlight of splendorous leaf colors in southwest Michigan. But I also love the season as it turns rustic and brown and aromas of burning leaf piles and first fire in the fireplace waft through the air.
I don't really have any trouble feeling grateful in any season, but I always especially love it around Thanksgiving time. It is my favorite holiday.
This morning our elderly parish priest (more elderly than I) delivered his memorized gospel scripture verses as he usually does. It was about the blind man being cured by Jesus. In his homily, Father O'Leary said it was important to note that the Jesus asked him, "What do you want?" And the man replied, "that I may see". Jesus restored his sight.
But the scripture goes on to say that the man followed Jesus after receiving his sight. Father said it is not explained in the verses WHY he followed the Master, just that he did. The priest said he ventured a guess that the man "wanted something MORE" than just his sight". That is plausible.
The priest also said he is leaving for a 30 day sabbatical of quiet in a Benedictine monastery. That's not surprising as I know him to be a sincere practitioner and proponent of the Prayer of the Quiet, Centering Prayer.
He said, contrary to rumor, he is not discerning his retirement, but looking for the completely quiet environment, in which I think he is fairly certain that he will and already has in his lengthy vocation found the "something more".
I think that SOMETHING MORE, in this sense, is a great way to think of having and receiving more in my life without feeling gluttonous or being filled with fears of ownership.
I have had a lot of noise in my life lately, and I, too, have daily faithful prayer practices to the quiet. The noise comes from several sources and has had me a little off balance. During this time I have not written as Napkinwriter in my usual pattern. I have missed doing that.
Some of the noise has come from a deep resident sinus and lung infection that hung on for an unusually long time. I am very healthy and rarely sick, but this one took me to task. It reminds me to continue to pray for those who do suffer ill health or pain frequently.
The noise also comes from visitations to both of my brothers, who really are in ill and incapacitated states of health. It tugs on my timeline and heartbeat of our brother-sister relationship. So I find it hard to not resist the march of time and the lack of options they both have. It weighs heavy on my heart.
Of less serious consequence is the Detroit Tiger baseball team being down 3-0 in the World Series and needing to put it on the line tonight if there is any chance for a miraculous comeback.
Also, Tom has issues with the squirrels. We enjoy watching the finches, bluebirds, cardinals, robins, bluejays and a variety of woodpeckers who feast on their station on our back deck. But the squirrels also come uninvited. I hear unexpected loud shouts of "bang, bang" "get out of here" "go" at times I am not prepared for it and jump right out of my chair. He has resorted, also to using a squirt pump rifle, and douses them occasionally.
I think there is a critter "watch-out" below the deck, and they win most of the time. I also suggested a feeder at ground level for the squirrels to see if that discourages them. Nothing else has.
Our careful spending budget sometimes makes noises too…."But I want this….or I need that", and then I summit up visions of spending my $1 available in five different and worthy ways, only one of them being "discretionary", for all else seems to be needs that pop up, or have been waiting a long time to be redeemed.
Of course, this is the end of the political season, and that noise trumps all other noise. Being at home a lot, Tom and I have followed the campaigns closely. It is a lot to take in, even as you are trying to make an informed decision.
The parties seem — more than seem — they are very different approaches to very serious problems. The country seems evenly divided between the two candidates this close to Election Day. Both sides fear that if the other party gets elected, we are in for dire consequences.
It does not seem that there can be two Truths — as divided as these candidates are in their systems and philosopohies, they each would have you believe there are two Truths. Their own — and the wrong one.
Regardless of who the winner turns out to be, we the citizens of this country, are going to have to trust. Trust, in bigger quantities than we ever have before. In order to go forward with my personal life and contribute to it as I can, I will have to pray and trust that the leader, whoever he is, will do the following for us:
make a genuine effort to work it out at the national level that we have a safe and prosperous country; that something will change positively in the economy for our generation and generations to come; that health care will be fairly and economically distributed among all, and that the elderly and the unborn will be treated as the sacred beings they are.
In other words, we the voters, want you, the leader of the next four years to be a WORTHY leader and provide WORTHY leadership because, regardless of who we vote for, that is what anyone's vote really amounts to.
We want you, the leader, to be worthy of our choice.
So, sometimes in the appearances of possible scarcity, I am grateful for and want more of the singing I hear in my soul. It is different tunes all the time, but this past week, it has been…..
"Glory to God, glory to God, glory to God in the highest. And on Earth, Peace on Earth, Peace to people of Good Will." from the Gloria of the Mass.
Good Will……. I will take more and more and more of……all the time.

Classic Sherlock Holmes Silhouette Art Collectible Arthur Conan Doyle Wrist Watch
Recipient :
* Required fields
or Cancel
1. Sherlock Holmes was originally going to be called Sherrinford.The name was altered to Sherlock, possibly because of a cricketer who bore the name. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created Holmes (of course), was a fan of cricket and the name 'Sherlock' appears to have stuck in his memory. Doyle was also a keen cricketer himself, and between 1899 and 1907 he played ten first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club – quite fitting, since Baker Street is situated in the Marylebone district of London.
2. The first Sherlock Holmes novel was something of a flop. The detective made his debut in the novel A Study in Scarlet (1887), written by a twenty-seven-year-old Doyle in just three weeks. Famously, Doyle was inspired by a real-life lecturer of his at the University of Edinburgh, Dr Joseph Bell, who could diagnose patients simply by looking at them when they walked into his surgery; the other important influence on the creation of Sherlock Holmes was Edgar Allan Poe's fictional detective, Doyle wrote the book while he was running a struggling doctor's surgery down in Portsmouth. The novel was rejected by many publishers and eventually published in Beeton's Christmas Annual (named after the husband of Mrs Beeton, of the book of cookery and household management). It didn't sell well, and more or less sank without trace.
3. The second Sherlock Holmes novel was the result of a dinner party with Oscar Wilde. One person who had admired the first novel was the editor Joseph Stoddart, who edited Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. He convinced Doyle, at a dinner party in 1889, to write a second novel featuring the detective, for serialisation in the magazine. Wilde, who was also present, also agreed to write a novel for the magazine – his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which appeared in 1890, the same year as The Sign of the Four, Doyle's novel.
4. Sherlock Holmes didn't wear a deerstalker. Much. The famous image of Holmes wearing a deerstalker hat is a product of the celebrated images which accompanied the short stories, which appeared in the Strandmagazine from 1891 (beginning with the wonderful story 'A Scandal in Bohemia'). It is when the stories began to appear that Sherlock Holmes became a worldwide sensation. Sidney Paget, who drew the illustrations, had Holmes wearing a deerstalker when the detective went into the country to investigate mysteries at country houses and in small rural villages, but most people think of the detective as always donning the hat when off to investigate a case.
5. Sherlock Holmes is the most-filmed fictional character. According to IMDb, Holmes has appeared in 226 films and been played by dozens of different actors since the advent of cinema in the late nineteenth century. It's hardly surprising that the sleuth's popularity inspired a raft of other writers to create rivals to Sherlock Holmes.
6. Sherlock Holmes is not the most-filmed fictional character. That is, not if you include non-humans (or partial humans). Dracula has been filmed more times than the great sleuth, at 239 times, butsince Dracula is part-man, part-vampire, Holmes is the most-filmed fully human character.
7. Sherlock Holmes didn't make deductions. At least, not most of the time. Instead, and if we want to be technically accurate, he used the logical process known as abduction. The difference between deductive and abductive reasoning is that the latter is based more on inference from observation, where the conclusion drawn may not always necessarily be true. However, in deduction, the conclusion drawn from the available data is always necessarily true. But then again, since Holmes's reasoning always seems to be correct, perhaps it is deduction after all!
8. Holmes never says 'Elementary, my dear Watson'. Not in the 'canon' of original Conan Doyle novels and stories. Holmes says 'Elementary!' and 'my dear Watson' at various points, but the idea of putting them together was a later meme, which possibly arose because it neatly conveys Holmes's effortless superiority to his 'dear' friend and foil. The first recorded use of this exact phrase is actually in a P. G. Wodehouse novel of 1915, Psmith, Journalist.
9. The Sherlock Holmes Museum both is and isn't at 221B Baker Street. Although the museum in London bears the official address '221B', in line with the celebrated address from the stories, the museum's building lies between 237 and 241 Baker Street, making it physically – if not officially – at number 239.
10. There's more to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle than Sherlock Holmes. Much more, in fact. Among other achievements, his legal campaigning led to the establishment of the Court of Criminal Appeal. He was knighted for his journalistic work during the Second Boer War, not for his achievements in fiction, law, or medicine. We owe the word 'grimpen' to him (from Grimpen Mire, in The Hound of the Baskervilles). He wrote historical novels (such as The White Company and Sir Nigel, set during the fourteenth century) which he prized more highly than his detective fiction. Winston Churchill agreed, and was a devoted fan of the historical novels. Doyle also wrote science fiction romances, such as The Lost World (1912), which would inspire Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, and, subsequently, Steven Spielberg's film (the sequel to the novel and film being named, in homage to Doyle, The Lost World). Doyle also took up legal causes himself: read Julian Barnes's novel Arthur and George for his most famous real-life case.

Best Stick Vacuum Cleaners
If you have three kids and a long haired dog, it doesn't suffice to vacuum once a day to keep everything clean. In fact, you may have to take out the vacuum more than you think, for those toast crumbs under the breakfast table, for the sand and dirt the boys brought in with their dirty feet, for the couch after the dog has slept in it, and even in corners where the dog food has scattered when you turned your back for a second.
Indeed, it is hectic for a mum who wants the house to be as clean as possible at all times, but a stick vacuum cleaner will help matters a lot, because it is lightweight (who wants to drag out a heavy vacuum every time for a spill?), compact (easy to store practically anywhere) and preferably cordless (saves a few seconds struggling with the cord).
Best Stick Vacuum Cleaner
Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner
This is the perfect stick vacuum cleaner if there was ever one. The Hoover Linx is not only great for hard floors, it sucks dirt off carpets really well too. The brushroll turns on and off as you wish, and you can be sure it will get that lone dust bunny hiding in the very corner without you having to nudge it out with your foot.
As it is cordless, you would never have to unwind long cords and have it lying in your way as you vacuum. Just check the battery indicator which is very useful to let you know when to charge the vacuum again. One thing somebody has helpfully pointed out is that you shouldn't leave the battery in the charger after it has fully charged, or you will risk it with a shorter life. Just pop it back into the vacuum and the charge keeps well.
Read my full review here.
Bissell PowerEdge Pet Hard Floor Vacuum
For people who have all hard floors or hardwood, you might not want a stick vacuum with a brush that might create scratches. This hard floor vacuum is the right one for you. It has a plastic strip in place of a brush, which works great to move all the dirt towards the suction. Speaking of suction, it sucks wonderfully! The V-shape also helps in this matter, surprisingly.
This stick vacuum cleaner actually cleans up pet hair better than many upright vacuums, and it catches hair from around the furniture legs and room corners. "Wow" is understating it for a vacuum less than $50.
Dirt Devil SD20000RED Simpli-Stik
Nobody would pass up the chance of trying out a $20 vacuum cleaner, especially if it is just a secondary or spare vacuum. This Simpli-stik vacuum cleaner is simple enough and works just nice for those occasional messes. It even turns into a handheld vacuum if you want! Just detach the stick handle.
This stick vacuum cleaner is very lightweight and although the build isn't what you would call quality, it does look as if it will give value for money.

Are you new to travelling? Don't get out very much? Be honest, has life been a bit, boring? Because really if you don't know what Airplane Vaping Policies are, I feel for you! Travelling is a necessity in life! If you are not up to date with policies like this, my friend you do yourself a favour. Book a ticket, grab that passport and follow these 2 simple Airplane Vaping Policies, and you'll have a fantastic vacation time!
Airplane Vaping Policies – Prep Work
The first step you'll want to take is some prep work. This prep work starts with the familiar airplane task of prepping the carry-on luggage or personal item (bag/purse) that are travelling on the plane with you. First off, you will want to ensure that any e-Liquids that you plan to bring are 100ml or less. Next, after assuring that the bottles will pass the carry-on screening process. The same 100ml and under e-Liquid bottles must be transferred to a quart sized zip-lock baggie. Now if you're feeling like you may need extra protection in case one of the e-Liquids happens to leak, double bag it. Most airlines allow their passengers to travel with approximately up to 3 bottles of e-Liquids.
After prepping the e-Liquids for your trip. The next step would be to prep the electronic cigarette itself, plus any additional hardware that may also be used. The first step would be to take apart the electronic cigarette entirely, clean each piece and then pack the pieces in small, clean and see-thru plastic bags. Afterwards, you'll want to protect any spare batteries you're bringing so that they won't short-circuit along the way. Next, in your vape kit ensure that you have extra coils, a charger, plus anything else that may be needed.
Airplane Vaping Policies – While You're at the Airport & On the Plane
The next step is quite easy to follow. As there have been similar rules put in place for years now. Back in the day, smokers could smoke on planes, in airports, and actually pretty much anywhere. Even hospitals! So, unfortunately, smokers went and ruined everything for the futuristic vaper generations because vaping is classified and treated the same as smoking cigarettes. The rules are very easy to follow. If you can not smoke there, then you can not vape there as well. Plain and easy right? This is not the case though! It's fascinating to see people take a gander over to the bathroom whilst on a plane. Close the door, lock it behind them and somehow think they're undetectable. That the smell of banana cream pie won't waft out of the bathroom while the exit. Or that someone may be waiting outside to use the toilet afterwards. While the most popular, and often overlooked point. There are smoke detectors, and these same smoke detectors detect the vapour produced from an electronic cigarette. No matter the flavour is chosen. So don't think that would fly!
Likewise, when you're going thru the airport. Waiting for your plane, or even waiting to pick up someone up. You can't vape while you wait. You can't vape while in a line, and you actually can't even vape in non-smoking areas. So treat it exactly like your electronic cigarettes a cigarette, unfortunately. And you will fare fan travelling thru the airport, waiting for your plane and as well on the airplane. Safe travels my friends! And remember, don't wait this long again before you go take a trip! Everyone deserves some downtime. Live a little!
