Holy moly it's been a month! I both can and can't believe it. Life has been running away with me this past month, and I've barely had any time for any baking!
In case you've forgotten, I was a bridesmaid in my friend Sandi's wedding in Nelson in the middle of the month, and I've been working at the restaurant and planning for my new teaching job – yes, in case I forgot to tell all of you beautiful souls, I got a teaching job! All of that, combined with still trying to frantically finish our own wedding planning (and paying for all things wedding!) equals no time for me to make ANYTHING.
However, I found myself with a rare day of peace today, and I was resolved to spend my day in the kitchen making some fabulous goodies. While I made a bunch of things (that will also be posted soon… now I have back-up material for the next few posts!), these cookies seemed like the right choice to start us back off.
I found the original recipe here, and if I make these again, I am definitely not going to bake them as long. Mine came out more crunchy than chewy, and I am a big fan of a chewy, soft cookies. I have changed the baking time to reflect this.
Yield: 3 dozen cookies
1 c. sugar
¼ c. brown sugar
1 c. butter, at room temperature
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. shredded or shaved coconut
2 c. flour
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or Silpat, if desired. (I didn't, and my cookies didn't stick at all.)
Cream together sugar, brown sugar, and butter until colour lightens. Add in egg and vanilla, and combine again. Mix in the coconut until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the coconut mixture in three additions, mixing well after each addition until the flour is incorporated.
Using a teaspoon or a scoop, drop rounds of cookie dough onto the prepared sheet pan. Bake in preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are just starting to turn a golden brown.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Nothing upsets the Enemy more,
Than your massive success,
Nothing upsets the enemy more,
Than your thick skinned chest.
Your blatant gain,
Kills him with excruciating pain,
Your blatant gain,
Wins you your game.
Humility a prized possession,
Tranquility a master conception.
The apathy of the youth.
Absence of regard and Ruth!
Perhaps their boundless knowledge has failed them,
Or a certain thought never prevailed them…
A hollow vessel is one who makes noise,
Lack of authority or perhaps poise.
The voilent are violent,
Because they aren't silent.
Never start a war,End it.
Never expose your core, pretend it.
The brave conquer their fear,
But the dauntless find this queer!
The formidable law of the land,
An eye for an eye,
Holds no escape for any man,
handicap or high.
When a man opens his mouth,
A fragment of himself is let out.
Therefore talk hard, but listen harder,
Because you are sharp, but he may be sharper.
The verdict a product of his actions,
Mind you, never the words.
Because actions trigger reactions,
Words are simply alphabetical terms.
To manifest your anger,
In other words, kill yourself with your own dagger.
Heed the advice of example,
An outstanding teacher,
Prevent the preventable tumble,
Experience indeed the best preacher.
You Do what you must or die,
Vain factology, there is no try.
When entraped in the quagmire, don't struggle.
Lie sans trouble.
Devise your escape..
With your ingenuity and faith.
For the one who struggles the most,
Is ultimately consumed by the demonic host.
I live in the future of the past,
I live in the past of the future.
Therefore my powers remain vast,
Where time plays the tutor.
The present,
Indeed magnificent.
For it is the gift of time,
I'll use it wisely, the world is mine.

Subject: PLEAE CHECK FOR ME, THANKS
Wed Mar 26, 2008 7:40 pm
Everybody has their own mainstream in their goal life. To achieve the goal, they sometimes are obliged do something they dont like. That is the truth that everyone needs to overcome.
There are simply understood. For example, a person whose goal wants to be a businessman, his own path will be different with the path that the person takes to be a doctor. As we know being a doctor is a difficult long path which takes more years, but we also need to follow it because that is his goal.
As a University student who hardly study all night. We simply thing he like to study. The answer is no. NO one wants to study all night long. Who dont want to go shopping, play games, watching TV? It is just about the time. University time is a hard time that every student persists to study in order to get highly graduation.
Another example is from my experience, when I was young I did anything I liked. In studying, I also didnt go to school every day, but everything was still fine. As like I thought, the life is normal and easy, but I was wrong. Time is elapsed. My mind was opened when I was more mature. I was thinking about my future. Engineer is what I want to be. My head curved between my dream and what I am now. That awaked me up. I cannot do what I like when I were a young boy. It is the time I need to change myself even though I dont like it.
In brief, Our life is various. Anything is inevitable. Even though we it is what we likess or dislike, we have to confront it, go throuhg the hard time and we improve our self. That is the life.
Subject: People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doi
Sun Apr 06, 2008 1:44 am
I agree with this sentence for various reasons.
First, we live in a very interdependent society where everyone is specialised in a particular field. However, there are still activities that everyone must do. For instance, activities related to household: everyone must prevent some depletion of its house. If the roof falls on a walker in the street, the owner will be responsible. This is an important idea to introduce. Because people have some responsibilities regarding the society, they have to do things they do not enjoy. However, the richer people are, the less they take care themselves. Indeed, they are still responsible but they can find employees to carry out the practical actions.
Second, it is almost impossible to always avoid boring things. Who has never done something he or she dislikes? Thus, it can be useful to broaden the perspective: during a quite long period, everything balances. For example, on holidays with friends, I was responsible for the garbage bins. That was not pretty interesting. On the other hand, I did not pay attention to the swimming pool cleaning. In other words, when the boring things are split between different persons, it seems easier to accept.
In conclusion, thanks to the organization of our societies, we can decrease the number of boring things we have to do. According to our means, we can help each other, exchange services or even pay people to do that for us. However, since we have rights, we have got some obligations as well. For some of those, we are always responsible and so more susceptible to deal with them, annoying or not.

Mostly, people do things that they do like and never show desire to do the things that they do not like. I am of opinion that people should sometime do things that they do not like. The following reason explains the reason behind my opinion.
To begin with, if people always do things that they like then they are limiting the fund of life itself. For example, I never like to sweat. Nevertheless, if I should to go to fitness center to keep my health perfect then I will sweat. If I do not go to the gym then my health might get affected. Therefore, once I decided to go to the gym. Yet, I realized that it helps me not only to keep body healthy but also to relax my mind. If I had not gone to the fitness center then I would never have realized the value of exercise.
Secondly, sometime by doing things that we dont like, we often start liking it. As I explained in the above example, I started going to the gym often. Then, despite of the sweating after gym, I started liking it because of the other benefits that I started getting from exercise. This convinced me to go to gym everyday. Later, I did not stop here but started playing games which I used to avoid earlier because of sweating problem.
Thirdly, by doing things which we do not prefer, we may discover new hobby. Lets suppose that I had never tried fitness center then I would never have played sports. Only after going to gym, I started playing sports. Then playing tennis became my new hobby.
In sum, it is better that sometime we do things that we do not like. However, up to some extent we should evaluate that whatever we are trying to do is not harmful to us or society. For example, one should never try to smoke only because one has never tried it.

People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.
Different people will give different opinions about this statement from their own character, emotional concerns, cultures, works and even educational background. However, when it comes to me I strongly support this statement. My arguments for this topic are listed as follows.
First of all, There are a lot of duties that all of us do them in our daily life. Some of these duties do not enjoy us but we do them for many considerations such as doing homework with our children. There are many times that I feel so tired in my daily work at university but I can not leave my role as a mother and as a wife. Sometime I do many things in my life and I do not enjoy doing them.
Second, a lot of student do not like to get up early to go to school. In addition, they do not like to take tests. They wish to spend all their times using computer and net . But they go to school and study hard to get high marks and to complete theirs studies.
Admittedly, not every thing enjoys us we should do but we must adapt ourselves according to our time, work and our social traditions.
All in all, if all these reasons are contemplated we can easily reach a conclusion that everyone can do some things that enjoy him but at the same time there are some conditions in our daily life constraint him to do things that do not enjoy him.

The issue being held is should we do things that we don't like doing sometimes? This is an important topic because not all we want are good for us. I believe that we have to do some things that we don't want.
The first reason why I think we should do things we don't enjoy is that to get along well with other people. In my case, I do not like attending gatherings and family occasions. I only want to stay at home and watch TV instead of going out. But, I know this is not good. As a single person, I have to go out and socialize with other colleagues and meet new friends. In this way I can grow as an individual by sharing my ideas with other poeple.
I hate doing exercise, for me this is a big torture if you will make me walk in the threadmill even for 10 minutes. This is the second reason why i think we should do things we don't like sometimes. Exercising is very essencial to our health, I know that yet I don't like doing it knowing its importance to my well being. So, since exercising is necessary for me to become healhty, I have to do it once in a while even if I dont like to do so.
Lastly, I have to do things that I don't like to please my loved ones. For example, my aunt loves to go to one particular jewerly shop and she always wants me to be with her. I never liked going to that shop because it is so boring and I can not afford to buy any of those jewelries neither. But, I love my aunt and I want to please her and accompany her so even if I dont feel like going, I have to go.
For the reasons and examples I have stated, people should do sometimes things that they do not like doing. This is because it is good for them and to give happiness and support for their dear ones.

There are several situations in everyday life in which people are compelled to behave or act in contrary with what they would like to do.
Though it may sounds strange, we all have experienced this situation or part of it in our lives.
Generally people act according to their logic and type of personality. So, if someone tries to insult you , you would react with all your means.
But let's imagine a situation when you are robbed inside a bank or in the corner of your house and the thief tries to steal from you. After the resistance that you make, he starts to yell and saying offensive things to you. In a normal situation for example, I would yell him back and say the same things, but in the situation I am describing, it is different. From the fear of getting hurt I would stop talking and just listen to him.
In a less dramatic situation than the above mentioned, I would describe the case when we have to say a lie to someone , because the truth might be very bitter.
For example, regarding the physical appearance of a colleague, you must say a compliment, when you really do not think the same . But you have to do that because, if you say the truth , it hurts.
In a more complex situation , I would mention the case when we have to do jobs that are not appropriate for our physic, background etc but we have to do because of the poor financial situation. Once I had to exercise the waitress in a restaurant, thing which I did not enjoy at all.
As a conclusion, sometimes we have to come out of ourselves, but being optimistic everything is a new experience.
Subject: independent writing-people don't enjoy...
Wed Apr 16, 2008 3:28 pm
I agree with the statement that ''people should sometimes do things that they don't enjoy''.their are several reasons to support this point.
In certain situations we do things that we are forced to do. an example for this is if a person is working in a company and if he is working under a boss,then he should obey his commands and do the work what he had assigned to him.this is a situation in an working environment.when this comes to relationships like husband and wife relationship,people have arguments and lot of issues going on between them.in that both may not be interested in doing certain things which they really don't enjoy.for example if a woman is a vegetarian and when she get married to a man who is an non vegetarian,then she is forced to cook or sometimes eat non vegetarian foods,even if she don't enjoy either eating or cooking.in this she does her job because she is bonded in that relationship.some husbands they don't force them to eat or cook but some do.and also certain characters ,habits which may be present in one of them and the other person do not like that but they have to adjust and accept because they want to continue in their family life hoping things will change.
another example, when we apply to a college that is when we apply for two programs in a college and if we don't get the course which we prefer we ought to choose the course that we got.even if we don't enjoy studying that subject we tend to study because we don't want to waste a year that would delay our future career.
all of these depend on the persons attitude and tolerability.
so i believe the statement that people don't enjoy doing something that they do.

People always tend to stick to things that they like doing. For example, if there is homework to do, a student would often skip his exercises in order to watch TV instead. In a situation like this, parents might often argue It is also important for you, to do something, you do not enjoy doing!, being probably right with this statement. Though its not always a pleasure, sometimes it is necessary for people, to do things which they dont like.
To begin with, there are many things in peoples lives that really have to be done though nobody enjoys doing them. To illustrate that point, you could mention cleaning the house, washing the dishes or caring for the garden, which are certainly things, that everybody hates but that are essential if you want to live in a society. If you didn't clean your house anymore, visitors would be shocked seeing all the dirt and would consider you as a strange or unnormal person. Same goes for washing the dishes or caring for the garden it is quite difficult to imagine what other people would think of a person not caring for a house at all. So these are tasks for everybody that can obviously not be enjoyed doing but have to be fulfilled.
Furthermore, there are things you do not enjoy doing now, but which will have a positive effect in the future: Nobody really likes going to a doctor, but if you never have your body checked, there is a risk of being ill without noticing it. Thus, going to a doctor regularly improves your chances of having a healthy - and therefore happy life in the future. Similarly, going to school is not always a pleasure, but it pursues the aim of writing good exams in order to get a good job afterwards, which is essential for succeeding in our society today.
To put it all in a nutshell, the examples mentioned above show that there are not only duties that really need to be done, but also things that have their effect only in the future. All in all, you could therefore argue, that it is sometimes necessary for people, to do things which they do not enjoy doing. Additionally, if you do something unpleasant that is neither a real duty nor has a direct positive effect on the future, its still useful in order to keep the fact in mind that mankind wouldnt have survived if everybody had only done things that he/she enjoyed doing and thus get used to do also unpleasant things.

It is a fact that people in their lives face a lot of situations when they should do something they do not get pleasure from. Even children early realize that a number of things we like is limited so it becomes necessary to be prepared for unpleasant activities. In my opinion, one of the vital skills in our life is to get ready that not only enjoyable things occur.
First of all, it is impossible to achieve a demanding goal in your career as well as in a personal life without "life assignments" you do not fully enjoy. For example, if you are going to be promoted to a division manager position, will you reject this offer for the reason "I do not like giving orders to others"? My strongest belief is that most probably a person will find ways to muster new skills and techniques rather that decline such promotion.
The other thing is that people often simply do not know what they really like! Furthermore it is possible to lose plenty of life opportunities by doing only what you are fond of. Sometimes it needs time to look into the subject and find out its interesting and demanding part. Take for instance, college subjects for students. At the beginning of the course you can hate literature but after reading a number of books you can get inspired.
And the last but not least is that in spite of human tendency to look for pleasant things it extremely encourages us when reaching the highest result in the field we are not good at or even fond of. As a result, it increases our confidence.
In conclusion, people's behavior and results to some extent are influenced by their preferences to a particular area or task. But it is obviously that you will hardly ever accomplish considerable results in your life without gaining skills to be successful in different tasks. Thus, motivating yourself to come over obstacles will bring you a self confidence and an opportunity to enjoy almost everything you try

People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.
I agree with this statement, because the truth is that life should be a combination about what you like and what you do not like, besides how are you going to know what you enjoy or don't enjoy if you don't experiment both things.
Sometimes is the key word for this statement. Because you often should do thing that you enjoy, otherwise your life would be miserable and you will be a very frustrated person that will not be happy, and probably will make the other persons that live near you less happy.
The truth is that often you learn more from the things that you do not enjoy, and they are the ones that form you, they help you to grow and learn things about yourself and from everything that surrounds you. With the things that you do not enjoy you gain experience, you will develop a wider vision of the world.
When you do things that you do not enjoy, you may end up surprising yourself. For example, I love scriptwriting and film directing, but now I am working as a Journalist in a community news paper, and the things that I have learned in there are very gratified. It was not something that I enjoyed when I began but after I spent weeks working there, and I met my co-workers and the dynamic of working in a newspaper I started to enjoy and learned so much, that right now I can say that I also love journalism.
People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy. They should expand their minds and experiment different things so when they look back they will know that they explored all the possibilities and have lived their lives in a proper way.

I'm going to explain why people sometimes should do things that they do not enjoy doing.
In my experience people usually avoid doing things that they don't enjoy. There are many reasons for this behaviour. My favourite explanation is, that people act this way, because they try to make the best of now. They are keen on maximizing their benefit on the short run.
Here is an scenario for a situation in which you have two alternatives how to act:
Imagine your tax filing for the last year is still pending and you expect to get a tax refund. Imagine you have two alternatives:
Alternative one is that you do your tax filing now. You need to spend half a day, filling in forms, which means no fun at all and get the tax refund about 3 monts after you filed the tax return.
Alternative two is that you visit friends and have a barbecue with them.
What would you prefer?
From my point of view it is crucial which time frame you take as a basis to decide which alternative is better. On the short run I have the higher benefit in visiting my friends. On the long run, it's better to do the tax filing as soon as possible because this is something you usually have to do anyway. The sooner you do it, the sooner you get the money back and can buy something.
Another example is if you should do a diet. In this case are the alternatives - "eating now" or "loosing weight later".
The way of thinking in the short run is a result of the fact that we never know for sure, if we can enjoy the benefit in the long run because life isn't endless. I come to the conclusion that people should sometimes do things, that they do not enjoying. But only sometimes. I think the trick is to balance both - doing not enjoyable things if they are useful later and avoid them for the sake of the immediate benefit - in a sensible way.

eople sometimes are forced to do things that they don't enjoy as a part of their life responsibilities , also people do things to have a nice high paying job, or as a part of their job tasks . Also, people get used to pdoing this things by time and sometimes they begin to enjoy doing it .
first of all, sometimes life forces us to do things that we do not enjoy or even like . after marriage , parents have to take care of their children and take care of their houses , even after havening a long day at work , the mother have to cook a nice meal for her husband and children , on the other side , the father have to study with his children and clean the house .
the second reason ,people sometimes do things they do not like as apart of their job tasks , so that they can have their job and get promoted to higher position . for example , i remember when i was working as a pharmacist , i had to do some accountant jobs like calculating the total cost of the medicine , i didn't like doing that , but at the same time i had to do it because it is a part of my job , and to keep my high paying job i had to do things that i hate .
last but not least ,life responsibilities, raising a family and havening a nice job sometimes forced people to do things that they don't like or even hate

Sometimes, there is no choice in life so you have to do things that you do not enjoy doing. Even if I was given a choice and I had the freedom to choose, I would still agree with this statement.
I have only one life and I plan to enjoy spending it as long as I do not harm other people. Some people spent their whole life pleasing others. You might say it wasnt enjoyable but I say that by pleasing others, they actually get something in return. Other people like them, other people appreciate them and other people remember them. Being appreciated, being remembered, and being liked are joy, arent they? Thats to say, those who want to please others are also enjoy the consequence even though the act itself is not so enjoyable.
The concept is quite hard grasp. So let me give a practical example, your best friend asked you to help her prepare for her exam when you know very well that you dont like to teach or tutor other people. You find it very annoying. Nevertheless, you still do it for your friend anyway. Why? Because you enjoy having the company of your friend, the appreciation from your friend, so you decided to help her. It would even make you happier when you see your friend pass the exam and spend more time with you during the break. Thats why I say you help your best friend because you enjoy its consequence, even though, not the action.

People usually indulge in activities they like or enjoy.But sometimes they are asked to do some work which they dont like and so they just do it for the sake of doing and the result of that work done is generally not that good.That is if the person does some work that he/she likes then they put in their better effort compared to the work they dont enjoy or like.
So people should do things that they dont enjoy and if one does this regularly ,he/she will start enjoying the things which they didnt enjoy before.
Doing the things that one doesnt like also tells about the will power he/she has.This increases one's will power and tolerance power.So completely agree that people should sometimes do things they dont enjoy.
Everything in this world does not happen according to my wish,so i sometimes i haveto do things which is not liked by me but might be my family or friends would enjoy seeing me do that.
Sometimes doing the things which i enjoy may hurt my closed ones and which in turn would upset me only.Thus it would be better if i sometimes do things that i dont like.

Our life is full of activities ones are those that we love doing, some of them even become our hobbies. Though others do not give us so much satisfaction, or some of them we even hate doing. However, some things are nessecery to do, despite loving them or not.
To begin with, most people have jobs. Though only the lucky ones get the job they like entirely. The vast majority daily encounter some tasks that they like, and some that are not so pleasant to them. If you work under pressure, or you are not the boss for yourself, you have to work on these tasks no matter whether you like them or not.
Secondly, only a hard work brings some fruits. All mature people understand that a hard work is always appreciated and honored. I am well aware of many people working hard but being still poor, though I believe that God bless them and they will find their happiness in true, not material way.
Furthermore, there is no such unrespected behaviour than a man being lazy. Laziness is all it comes from choosing not to do things that you do not enjoy. This kind of person will never be accepted as a good worker, useful citizen or family maintainer. In my opinion, this kind of person sooner or later will come to face with some psychological problems for not playing any part of his/her role in his/her life.
To sum up, all the people with high aspirations will definitely come across things they do not enjoy. All of those things will be a challenge for them and it will lead them either to a fortune or a failure. In this case I firmly agree with the statement, as I am the one of these persons and have already experienced it myself.

Author concedes that people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. I strongly support this statement, by stating following reasons:
Firstly, I would like to start with a simple example of a boy, who don't like eating leafy vegetables, which is important for his eye sight and mental growth. His parents make him eat it regularly so that he gets used to it, which helps the boy in his long run.
Secondly, in my case, I am a researcher and I don't like writing reports. Even though I don't like it, I have to do it as its also an integral part of the researcher though its not a significant part. If I stop doing it, my research won't get published and all the work done would hold no value.
Similarly, many of the software developers like to write the software code but aren't willing to test it. As, testing is a bit boring work, but then without proper testing of his software, it won't give expected results and no one will use it ultimately. So, it becomes mandatory for a software engineer to properly test his software even though he doesn't likes doing it.
In conclusion, I would like to say that people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. You can do some other enjoyable things along with these not likable things, so that you don't feel bored of doing them.

We all have to do several things in our life. It does not matter what ever we like or not. In my view all of us sometimes do things that we do not enjoy. This may be for earning money for our day to day life or for getting a decent job.
All people need money to run their family life. This requires sometimes to do things what we do not like. For example a man who is working as a technician in any firm should sometimes take garbage and need to dispose it. Most of the technicians does not like the bad smell of garbage. But they have to do this even though they do not enjoy. Another situation we can consider is that sometimes we have to work under strict boss. Even though all of us do not like this we have to do this in our daily life. So for earning money it is necessary to do sometimes something we do not like.
Another reason for doing things that we do not like is that for getting a better job. For example consider myself. When I was at school I do not like studying at all. But my parents forced me to do that by saying, only a better educated man can get a better job. So I started studying even though I does not enjoy studying and this leads me getting a good job.
In short all have to do many things in our life whatever we enjoy it or not. We do this either to keep our family running or to attain certain goals like good jobs. Anyway it is a fact that all people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy in order to run their life in a better way.

All great things come at a cost, typically that cost would be spending a lot of time studying or training instead of playing or resting, since lot of hard work is needed to achieve personal goals.
I do believe that people should do things they do not like to do, doing things we do not like is part of growing up and it has a great influence on shaping the personality of a person. For example, a child might like to spend the most of his time playing or watching TV instead of studying or doing some educating activity. This will cause the child to grow up as a poorly educated person with no future. This will have an adverse effect on both him and the community around himself, since his contribution to the society will be limited.
Similarly, in the adult world an adult finds himself in situations were he has to do things he does not like to do in order to achieve certain goals or to overcome a crisis. An example that I have personally experienced is that I had to work and study at the same time. I had to do that to come up with the money needed to pay my university fees, working during my study time was certainly something I did not like to do, I would have rather spent my time with my collegues having fun and doing activities. However, that would have meant that I would have dropped out of college because I could not pay the fees. I continued to work and study and as a result I was able to graduate and evolve to become a hard working, highly skilled contributing member of my society.
As a conclusion, I do believe that doing things we do not like doing has a great effect on us. At most times, those tasks we do not like doing have the greatest effect on us.

There are so many people in the world. Each and every person are different from each other. Their responces are behavior are varried by the culture and also by the society. Even people need to do something which they want not to do. If their minds are controlled by themselves they can easily avoid these situation which they do not want to do.
Psychologicaly determind and strong person can avoid such of these problems. Whenever a person need to something different far away with his culture or mind, they need to do it efficiently by their mind. Everyone has a controlled section in their own mind and by these they can skip or get escape from some unavoidable situation.
To suffer from indecission incidents is one kind of mental disease which we need to remove immediately. When a person consist of this problem, he wants appropriate decission. Even it delights the person or not. So, this can easily avoidable for anyone if he does not want to do. Suffering from desonance might be a problem for that.
When a person does not want to do anything, he should not do this thing against his mind. He can easily avoid such of these problems. So, we can say that when a person has to do something against his mind, that time he can avoid it or can find out an another way to do this.

I agree with the idea that sometimes in life we have to do things that we dont like to do. To begin with, its pertinent to say that life is a long road which is full of an endless number of sensations and situations, which can be marked by sadness or happiness. Those emotions vary from person to person, depending of everyones tastes.
It´d would be wonderful if all the activities that we have to do were related to our preferences; but unfortunately they are not. This idea is evident from the very beginning of our lives. For example, when I was a child, I used to hate
Vegetables and I remember that my mother always made me eat them. Now, I am an adult, and I thank her for doing so, because that helped me to be a healthier person. This is a simple example that proves that its necessary to carry out activities that sometimes we dont want to do.
Similarly, this kind of situations happens when the kids are in school and they have to study several subjects related to various topics. Usually, they dont like a particular subject, but they have to take it in order to pass the year. These subjects are mandatory and its inevitable to skip them.
In the same way, as adults, the people have to face situations that theyd prefer to avoid. For instance, several professionals have a job which is not related to the studies that they took at college or university. These people must work in these fields that they dont like because they need the money.
The examples mentioned previously, show a few cases where we have to face situations that we dont enjoy. These moments cause us sadness, but unfortunately they are absolutely necessary in life. The best way to deal with them is trying to find a positive thing from them.
Subject: People should sometimes do things they do not enjoy doing
Wed Jul 09, 2008 6:40 am
I would like to express my views in favor of the statement,'People should sometimes do things they do not enjoy doing'. Whenver given a choice, each one of us would prefer to do things we enjoy doing. However, we do not get this choice very often. Since, there are many tasks which needs to be performed for leading a good life, one should realise the necessity of these mundane tasks one indulge in most of the times.
For instance, gaining knowledge or education is the first and foremost requirement of an individual. Despite of the awareness of this fact, almost every child despise going to school. In fact I, myself used to hate studying, especially, during exams. However, for survival in the competitive world of today one has to be the part of the race. That is why, no matter, how displeased one feel completing education is must.
Another example, in favor of the topic would be of a person, who has just recovered from an illness but hates to take the precautions like eating less spicey food or avoiding alcohol, just because, he doesnot enjoys them. In these circumstances, it is necessary for him to consider the preacutions adviced by the doctor, irrespective of whether, he enjoys it or not.
Furthermore, one can imagine the situation, where a doctor would stop seeing patients, just because he doesnot enjoy it anymore, or, maybe the policeman refusing to give his duty, as he doesnot find it amusing. Thus, it can be sensed from these example that one should not shun away from the responsibilities in pretext of dislike.
Considering, all of the above examples I would like to summarise, by stating that it is necessary for all of us to realise the importance of the things that are required to be done and should work for the fulfillment of the task, irrespective of the liking or disliking fo the task.

People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.
It is a nature intrinsic in humans to want to do only the things they want to do, such as when you're on your way to attend a class got class, an ice cream van stops right next to you and you're hungry. It's natural to want to stop and line up behind the queue, and get the ice-cream. However, going to class on time is a responsibility one should not let go of. So, it is also encouraged that one be responsible. In fact, that is what most people would do occasionally, doing things that they relatively don't enjoy doing as much. Like this, I strongly believe that there are often times when one should put aside their desires, to perform tasks, even ones they don't favor doing. The reasoning behind this is that such a practice would lead to success, and inner self-development.
To begin with,
Subject: PEOPLE DO THINGS WHETHER THEY LIKE OR NOT
Thu Jul 17, 2008 2:55 pm
i would say YES,we will do some things which we like it or not.
Here i would like mention one example many students to pursue higher education they visit different countries leaving there friends ,parents
what i feel is every human leads a comprised life once in a lifetime.If not for ourselves than for others we need to do.when we are in adolescent stage we need make our parents happy, in adult stage we need to make our friends ,family members happy.
example for this is we wont like some pictures but to make our friends happy we will do that.
most of the people they will have there own interest but end up in another professsion which they wont dream of.
example for this would be some students like music but to meet there daily needs they need take some jobs.
so my conclusion here is every individual in his life time has to do some things in which he wont enjoy.
Subject: Sample writing
Thu Jul 24, 2008 4:49 am
First of all I would like to say that "Yes" I do agree with the statement which has been mentioned through the question.
In fact, regarding the question for doing some things obligatory and without any consent, it is needless to say that this is a normal situation for every people around the world and in different levels, ages, and positions.
There is a variety of reasons by which w face with such a situations in our daily life. For example, I am a student of International Environmental Law in Master degree and I am fully interested to work on the relevant areas of the environmental law, specifically in the international level, but because of unemployment and my financial situation which is not satisfactory, I am working in some other places and areas which are not related to my expertise and course of study and this is the most catastrophic situation which could happen.
Therefore we can see that how is possible when we are living in a society in which we have no any option to be engaged in those areas which we are luckily professional to work.
So, with regard to the fact which I mentioned, I would like to say that I do agree with this matter and in my view it is a generic matter for all the people on their routinely programs.
Another additional reason for this kind of matter could not be specifically economical or financially.
Finally I believe that we need to understand that this is a unique requirement for our life because of our ambitions and aspirations.

Numerical Methods for the Chemical Master Equation
Zhang, Jingwei
MetadataShow full item record
The chemical master equation, formulated on the Markov assumption of underlying chemical kinetics, offers an accurate stochastic description of general chemical reaction systems on the mesoscopic scale. The chemical master equation is especially useful when formulating mathematical models of gene regulatory networks and protein-protein interaction networks, where the numbers of molecules of most species are around tens or hundreds. However, solving the master equation directly suffers from the so called "curse of dimensionality" issue. This thesis first tries to study the numerical properties of the master equation using existing numerical methods and parallel machines. Next, approximation algorithms, namely the adaptive aggregation method and the radial basis function collocation method, are proposed as new paths to resolve the "curse of dimensionality". Several numerical results are presented to illustrate the promises and potential problems of these new algorithms. Comparisons with other numerical methods like Monte Carlo methods are also included. Development and analysis of the linear Shepard algorithm and its variants, all of which could be used for high dimensional scattered data interpolation problems, are also included here, as a candidate to help solve the master equation by building surrogate models in high dimensions.

You may be wondering if we are in winter or spring? Well, we may actually be in 'sprinter'.
Australia's seasons vary dramatically across its vast landscape, and few areas conform to the four season model adopted from the Northern Hemisphere. A five season model for central-eastern Australia was proposed by Dr Tim Entwisle, former Director of Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens, to more accurately reflect changes in the land. According to his model, spring is replaced by 'sprinter', which begins a month early in August, when many native plants such as wattles and hakeas flower. It lasts for 2 months, followed by a 4 month long 'sprummer'. Sprinter's arrival is evident in the Park, as wattles, hakeas and many other species are in bloom, and breeding season is in full swing for many bird species.
The indigenous peoples of Australia have long split their seasons in accordance with observable patterns in nature, such as eel runs, and flowering/fruiting of particular species. The traditional owners of the D'harawal country (from southern shores of Sydney Harbour, to the Shoalhaven River and the Wollondilly River) had six seasons. July and August is the season of Tugarah Gunya'marri – 'cold and windy', aka season of the lyrebird. Indicators of the season include:
- Days getting longer but still cold
- South westerly winds blowing
- Adults and children feeling cranky
- Lyrebird calls as he builds his dancing mound to attract females
- Antechinus (a marsupial mouse) mates until exhaustion and death of all breeding males
- Fish are running in the rivers
- Sydney Green Wattle (Acacia decurrens, below) flowers bright yellow, marking the end of the winds and time to start preparing for ceremonies that will take place in the next moon to celebrate the beginning of a new awakening.
Head to Wentworth Common or Narawang Wetland where you can enjoy sprinter blooms like wattle and orchid from the pathways.
Some of this information comes from Aunty Fran Bodkin, who is a modern day Aboriginal Scientist. Aunty Fran incorporates her knowledge of Botany, Climatology and Environmental Science with the teachings of the D'harawal as passed on to her from her mother and grandmother. This information is recognised and utilised by the Bureau of Meteorology and has been acknowledged by The University of Western Sydney as Aboriginal science.

Many prostate cancer patients and
other men with impotence are benefiting from sildenafil
citrate, which is trademarked as Viagra. This and other
similar drugs help maintain an erection by blocking
an enzyme, phosphodiesterase
type 5, found in penile tissues. Once blocked, a
chemical called cGMP,
which causes the smooth muscles of the penis to relax,
does not break down from PDE 5. Men, therefore, can
achieve and maintain more rigid and longer lasting erections.
These drugs do not act as aphrodisiacs. The body's
libido provides arousal. The drug only supplies the
Since Viagra's inception the
use of the drug has been on the rise, increasing in
popularity worldwide. Not only has it pioneered more
treatment options but it has also enabled people to
talk about impotence more freely. New drugs have developed
since sildenafil became available, including vardenafil
(Levitra) and tadalafil
(Cialis). During recovery from prostate cancer treatment,
most physicians recommend that patients start taking
one of these drugs in about 4 to 8 weeks. Viagra can
work in as little as 14-30 minutes, and Levitra should
be taken approximately 60 minutes prior to sexual activity.
Cialis can work in as little as 30 minutes and work
up to 36 hours. Ask your doctor for further information.
These drugs work well for most men, however they may not be suitable for men who have coronary artery disease or are taking medicines containing nitrates (chemical compounds) such as nitroglycerine or isosorbides. Consult your doctor before using the any of these drugs. Although side effects are unusual they can occur and include headaches, flushing, indigestion, runny nose, diarrhea, dizziness, and temporary vision loss or disturbance.
Right now several drug companies are hard at work on new approaches to treatment. One is developing a pill that works by manipulating an enzyme that is essential for erections. Researchers are also looking into ways to boost nitric oxide, the most important neurotransmitter for erections.

Confetti Stage's King Lear
- George Filieau, "King Lear"
- Linda Shirey, Director
- Lucy Breyer, Asst. Director
Long hailed as one of Shakespeare's most heartbreaking protagonists, King Lear is an aging monarch who struggles with conflicting desires for love and power. Wishing to exchange his throne for a comfortable retirement, Lear plans to divide his kingdom amongst his three daughters, with the biggest piece reserved for the daughter who loves him most. However, when his favorite daughter, Cordelia, is too honest to flatter as her sisters have, the king becomes petty and vindictive. He divides Cordelia's share between the cunning Goneril and the bloodthirsty Regan, who are more than happy to use their newfound power against their father.
As the kingdom is thrown into further turmoil by the machinations of Edmund, the Earl of Gloucester's treacherous bastard, loyalties are forged and broken, erupting in a storm of chaos that destroys almost everything and everyone that King Lear holds dear.

Sidharth Malhotra wants to see Kareena as his wife
- 09 Feb - 15 Feb, 2019
Aditi Rao Hydari recently revealed that she feels lucky to have worked with legendary directors and in wonderful films. This year, the talented actress was seen in varied roles, from the sweet and loving Leela in the Tamil film Kaatru Veliyidai and the opinionated titular character in the Sanjay Dutt-starrer Bhoomi to her lastest role in Padmavati. Aditi revealed that she is always on the lookout for characters that motivate her to perform better.
When asked what it feels like to move from one character to another, the Bhoomi star said, "Directors like Mani Ratnam or Sanjay Leela Bhansali or even Omung Kumar make cinema that you feel a connection with. They aren't just [randomly] putting-together projects. The way they narrate stories can be felt in the atmosphere of their sets, in the dialogues, costumes, and everything else. With them, it's like magic," and further added, "So, as soon as I entered Mani sir's set, I felt like Leela, or for that matter Bhoomi's set, I could relate to her issues. That helps me forget what I have done before and take on my new role." Aditi concluded, "The moment I enter a film set and see people around me are working so hard, [it] makes me feel that I should also perform my part well. After all, only a united effort can lead to success."

Quasquicentennial Pine Cone Holds Seeds of Hope, Faith
Crafted out of cast bronze and glass, the Quasquicentennial Pine Cone symbolizes the lamp of learning will be carried at each designated event by a dignitary named by the president of the faculty. The top of the piece includes a quotation from the original 1890 Whitworth College catalog, from a passage in which the college promises to "guard well the moral and religious life of the students, ever directing them in the pursuit of that learning and culture of heart and mind that make the finished scholar."
Written on 12 of the cast-glass pine cone scales are moral and intellectual virtues chosen to represent the highest aspirations for members of the Whitworth community. The text of the virtues was handwritten by different members of Whitworth's community, signifying that out of many voices and perspectives, we are united in celebration of and dedication to Whitworth's Christian mission.
The following is a list of the chosen virtues and the community members who addressed each one (along with their titles as of the cone's debut in 2016).
Charity - Ross Watts (director, Dornsife Center for Service-Learning & Community Engagement)
Courage - Beck Taylor (president)
Creativity - Brooke Kiener, '99 (assistant professor of theatre)
Curiosity - Kerry Breno (associate professor of chemistry)

Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen announced changes to Express Entry that will help Canada "welcome more skilled immigrants" whose siblings can help them integrate faster and who can contribute to the country's Francophone communities.
Express entry changes announced in April go into effect June 6, 2017, and express entry will start awarding 15 points to applicants who have a sibling in Canada who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and aged 18 or older. Canada's Express Entry system awards up to 1200 points based on their education, training, work experience and language skills. Before now, no points were awarded to applicants with siblings in Canada.
Studies have shown that as newcomers build a new life in Canada, those with siblings benefit by having improved integration into Canadian society.
~ Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
Almost 34,000 invitations to apply for permanent residence were issued to express entry candidates in 2016.
Express Entry was launched by the Canadian Government on January 1, 2015, as a way to choose skilled immigrants as Permanent Residents to Canada based on their ability to settle in Canada successfully.
Express Entry is used to manage applications for Permanent Residence under three federal economic immigration programs:
Evelyn Ackah, founder and managing lawyer at Ackah Business Immigration Law, employs her expertise to help clients achieve their desired business objectives. She develops and implements immigration strategies, provides advice on immigration matters related to employee mobility or relocation, and assists with global investment opportunities.

I've been told Indians come from India and that the dudes in tipis and sweat lodges are Native Americans, Aboriginal, Native Canadians or First Nations people, yet you use the word 'ndn' in your comics. Is this all just political correctness going mad? - Christina C.
It all depends on who you're talking to, all terms are acceptable (except maybe Redskin, its one of those words you only say if you are one). Look at it this way - Native people, like anyone, prefer to be called by their actual name.
North American Indian people (Canada & USA) should be best understood as literally thousands of communities and cultures - there is no one-size fits all. As you learn more about us, you learn that each community has distinct languages, religious beliefs, ceremonies, challenges, social & political systems etc. Choosing just one of the above words says very little about the diversity, independence and uniqueness of our cultures.
Just like other cultures around the world, our diversity is obvious ... when you look a little closer. Just as an Irish person wouldn't like to be referred to as Scottish, so are the differences among Native people.
Personally, I am half Blackfoot and half Duwamish. I would prefer if you asked me about which tribe(s) I am from, rather than just label me with one name.

Generali Buys Top Czech Insurance Company
Under the deal, Generali will pay €1.1 billion ($1.50 billion) for a 51% stake in a joint venture with private group PPF that will control leading Czech insurer Ceska Pojistovna as well as Generali's assets in the region. The deal values Ceska Pojistovna at €3.6 billion and Generali's assets at €1.5 billion, the companies said in a joint statement.
The new group will have 9 million customers. The newly-formed group will be the leader in the region with pro-forma premiums worth €2.6 billion at the end of 2006, just above Germany's Allianz and Austria's Wiener Staedtische. PPF will own 49% of the joint venture. "Generali's historical ties to the CEE region are well known," said Generali co-CEO Sergio Balbinot. "To further this success, we have been looking for the right partner with whom we can take the business to its next stage of development." The deal is expected to be completed in the second half of 2007, the statement said.
Generali says the transaction will add 2.2% to net profit by 2008 and be neutral to its financial ratings. Pojistovna, which at the end of 2006 controlled a third of the Czech insurance market, is fully owned by investment group PPF, held by financier Petr Kellner, the country's richest man. Generali, Italy's leading insurer with a market worth of about €42.5 billion ($57.86 billion) and Europe's third-largest, serves 4 million customers in 10 central and eastern European countries.
Ceska Pojistovna, a former communist-era insurance monopoly, has seen its market share erode over the past year as competition grows.

Andy Black is an artist based in Malton, North Yorkshire. This current exhibition focuses on a selection of his recent works on paper. Black gives us an understanding of his process in his own words:
''I have drawings of around a hundred forms collected together in a small book. Some of these forms are objects from the landscape – trees, bushes, rocks, mountains, lakes. Others are sharp-edged and geometric or more amorphous and blobby. Others are reminiscent of topiary or architecture. All the forms are real in that they obey gravity and are rooted to the ground. These forms (to steal Philip Guston's idea) are my alphabet. Also in this book are drawings that have a different function. They are diagrams of how to organize the pictures (plot, island, field, parterre and quincunx) – the syntax of my open-ended series of drawings.
There are other constants too: the paper is white and I use a black brush pen than provides an economical mark. The forms are plotted onto a perspectival grid so that we have an aerial viewpoint over a territory that recedes deep into the distance. A strong light illuminates the drawing so that each form casts a long dark shadow.
In the studio, with these set constraints and door shut to other variables, I construct drawings of imagined exterior spaces. I think of them as drawings of gardens. Some are systematically planned with formal, abstract patterns. Others are allowed to become overgrown where the forms, like weeds, multiply and compete for space.
Once the drawings are completed I enjoy looking down to survey a self-contained world. I imagine being down on the ground exploring the pockets of space and paths between the details.''

Put veal in stewing pan and allow it to cook until thoroughly done. Now chop meat and add cheese, flour, salt and pepper if needed and form into little balls about the size of a marble. While preparing these, drop in macaroni and cook until tender. Now add the meat balls.
If too thick use a little water. Beat the eggs lightly and add while boiling.

Confucius is a really cool guy. His moral teachings shaped the way that the Chinese think, even today with respect for their ancestors and parent-child relationships. Confucius believed that if they remembered the high moral standards of their ancient rulers, that they would be more highly motivated to be better people , which would in turn influence society to flourish. This also created incentive to become educated about their history.
He also taught the idea of the Junzi, or the superior man. The Junzi was the idea of the ultimate way of living and was a model for every citizen to live by. It's interesting that both Confucius and Nietzsche created these ideas of super men, however both were based off of opposing ideas. The Junzi was of the upmost morale, while the Ubermensch was amoral. That really was just a cool thought that I wanted to throw in to show off how intelligent I am becoming. I hope you're learning too!
I think today's conclusion is, why is it important to understand history? Why did Confucius yearn for the Chinese people to know about their past and how does it affect who they are today? How does it affect us as we learn, and who will we become?

Fuckfuckfuck, I can't even look at my stupid tumblr dashboard because it's full of images of male sexual submission. And I love that shit, duh, that's why I follow a bunch of blogs that post it, but all I can think about is her wanting a dude more than she wants me. About the idea that if I just had a fucking cock and a smooth chest she'd want me more. FUCK.
In forty-eight hours we'll be in bed together, so why am I freaking out. She's told me that she's plotting things for the threesome, presumably D/s things, but she won't tell me what, it's terribly exciting and awesome so why. Am. I. Freaking. Out.
I think I just feel like I've been so patient, I've been so goddamn patient and chill and I've enjoyed what we've been able to have, and I've been cool with needing to be the one to initiate, it's all been fine, I've been fine, she's been going through changes and I've gotten that, I've handled it. Mostly. And I've known about her thing with feeling more heterosexual, but when I let myself stop and think about it it's just so scary and painful. Fuck. That it should matter, what my bits are. Why should it matter. Fuck. I am not my fucking genitalia. If I had a cock, would all of this hard, painful stuff about her not making the time that I've wanted, about missing our intimacy, would it not even have been an issue because she would have wanted me enough to make it work?
Don't mind me.
It's just nice to have a place to rant.
Me, 30ish bi female, been doing solo poly for roughly 5 years. Gia, Clay, and Pike, my partners. Davis, ex/friend/"it's complicated." Eric, Gia's husband. Bee, Gia and Eric's toddler.

Once upon a time, marketers advertised on daytime TV and soap operas to reach mothers. Today, more than 40% of all women who go online in the US—approximately 35 million of them—are mothers who have c
