Two young gentleman dressed just like British military men, with gleaming guns on their shoulders and two dogs like great white bears at their heels, were walking in the mountains where the leaves rustled dry underfoot. They were talking as they went.
“I must say, the country round here is really awful,”said one. “Not a bird or beast in sight. I'm just dying to let fly-bang! bang! bang!- at something. Anything, so long as it moves.”
“Oh, what fun it would be to let a deer or something have two or three shots smack in his yellow flank!”said the other.“I can just see him spinning round, then flopping down with a thud.”
They were really very deep in the mountains. So deep, in fact, that the professional hunter who had come as their guide went astray and wandered off somewhere. Worse still, the forest was so flightening that the two dogs likewhite bears both got dizzy. They howled for a while, then foamed at the mouth, and died.
“Do you know, I've lost two thousand four hundred silver pieces withthis dog,”said one young gentleman, casually turning its eyelids back.
“I've lost two thousand eight hundred pieces.”said the other, tilting his head ruefully to one side.
The first young gentleman went pale.“I think I'll be getting back,”he said, gazing into the other's face.
“Well, now,”said the other,“I was just beginning to get cold, and hungry as well, so I think I'll getting back too.”
“Then let’s call it a day. What does it matters? On our way back we can call at yesterday's inn and buy a dozen pieces' worth of game birds to take home.”
“They had hares too, didn’t they? So it all comes to the same thing in the end. Well, why don't we go home, then?”

This is a test. I don't know what will happen. We'll see.

Hello, everybody. My name is Takuya Siva.

I live in Japan, and I work for electrical company which mainly produce the tubes for air conditioning unit.

This is the first time for me to use this service.

Speaking English is difficult, but it's a fun.

Please.

In Japan, we study English as compulsory education from junior high school.
I think the method of Japan's English education should be changed.
Because it's not useful for actually speaking English, only for taking exams.
English is not just the memorization of formulas.
For example,when I was a junior high school student, my English teacher was a Japanese who couldn't speak English.
And I learned about the "must + verbs =　have to + verbs" and "should = had better" at that time.
But they don't have exactly the same meanings, don they?
I learned they had the same meanings.
but I didn't learn about the detailed difference between them.
According to a native English speaker who teaches English at junior high school in Japan,it appears that the textbook contains an unnatural sentence.
I wish I could speak English !

Work and walk.

I naturally speak normal Japanese, but can also speak Kansai dialect because I've been living in Osaka since I was three years old. I was born in Nagasaki, though.
For example, if I talk to someone who from Tokyo or from outside the Kansai-area, I can immediately realize it.
It is said that there are some absolute differences between Osaka's Japanese and Tokyo's Japanese.
So occasionally, there are people who hate the Osaka's accent.
I have a question here.
If you talk to a foreigner who is a native English speaker, can you immediately tell where someone is from,even if you don't know about the person.
For instance, if an American talks to a Canadian, do they immediately realize where the other comes from?

If you are a typical woman living in today’s society, you have probably worn makeup, including eye shadow, eyeliner and blush. When you go outside, you may like to wear perfume, or sunscreen on hot days in summer. After a day of stressful work, you may like to soak yourself in a hot tub with your favorite bath oil, or exfoliate your skin with scrubs followed by a massage with body oil. When do you think we women started doing these things? Actually, women already did all of these activities 6000 years ago, in ancient Egypt.

Around 4000 BC, ancient Egyptians first developed cosmetics. What materials did women use for beauty in this era? In order to protect their skin from Egypt’s hot and dry climate, the Egyptians applied oil to their skin, such as olive oil, caster oil, sweet almond oil and palm oil. These oils are still used as cosmetic ingredients today. These body oils were scented with plants including myrrh, cinnamon, quince and galbanum. Fragrance was so important to them and citizens were commanded to wear perfume at least once a week. They rubbed their bodies with clay to exfoliate skin, and applied yellow ochre for a gold sheen, just like we use body bronzer. For face, they applied red ochre to their cheeks and lined their eyes with kohl. For eye shadows, green, blue and violet colorants were used made by malachite, galena manganese and iron however these materials are toxic and we don’t use them anymore. They also painted their nails with henna.

Ancient Egypt had an advanced civilization, and I have to say it’s amazing that they already developed these similar ideas about grooming and appearance for today’s women. I’m sure that women will still wear eyeliner and perfume in a spaceship even after 6000 years from now.

CCNA is the acronym for the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification from Cisco. In speech and in writing, this certification is properly referred to by the initials CCNA rather than the full name.[citation needed]

CCNA certification is a second-level Cisco Career certification . CCNA certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN[1].

To achieve CCNA certification, one must earn a passing score on Cisco exam #640-802, or combined passing scores on both the ICND1 640-822 and ICND2 640-816 exams. Passing the ICND1 grants you the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT). Passing scores are set by using statistical analysis and are subject to change. At the completion of the exam, candidates receive a score report along with a score breakout by exam section and the passing score for the given exam. Cisco does not publish exam passing scores because exam questions and passing scores are subject to change without notice.

This is a partial code comment I usually include with my programs. Let's check if I know how to explain things!

We are using our own class instead of the default mysqli class because there's so much stuff we don't need from mysqli class and it is better to make it again with just the shit we are going to use. Period.

The next config is only valid if you have not selected the database in the previous config var. I use these couple of vars to store $link and $query results. The first variable controls the logging mod and this is used whenever the program is started via CLI.

We have to set the format_date var 'cause we have to extract the config from the db... and we're using this self class to do it! And if we want to log and to print a date with format... we need a forma_date before extracting from the db!

My uncle went to a restaurant, and there was this waitress scratching herself. He said, 'Tell me have you got eczema?'
She said, 'Not if it's not on the menu.'
