A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve JobsBy MONA SIMPSONSource: New York Times I grew up as an only child, with a single mother. Because we were poor and because I knew my father had emigrated from Syria, I imagined he looked like Omar Sharif. I hoped he would be rich and kind and would come into our lives (and our not yet furnished apartment) and help us. Later, after I’d met my father, I tried to believe he’d changed his number and left no forwarding address because he was an idealistic revolutionary, plotting a new world for the Arab people.RelatedEven...

I was surprised to learn that one of my good friends, who over the past couple of months has been in "hibernation" mode, unveiled that he will become a dad in 6 months time. You have grown to be a serious and responsible man, being a dad is wonderful yet challenging. Proud of you man. Another wedding to attend, another new life to begin.However, before...

I came home just after midnight, thinking maybe I should figure out something to bite. As always, laziness being my absolute "virtue" I quickly decided to lay down on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV. Over the past two months I think the total time I spent watching TV is probably no more than 3 hours. Here are the highlights: A movie which looked like a MILF version of Gossip Girls. I failed to remember the name of the lead actress /w a gentle smile, which I was forced to do some creative google search. It was Meg Ryan and the...

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:*Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?*I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income,...

Энэ мэдээг бичсэн сэтгүүлчийн нэр бол Боргилмаа. Заримдаа ч бас үнэхээр хэцүү юм бичдэг нэгэн. Юм мэддэггүй хүн хамгийн аюултай гэж манай нэгэн ах хэлдэг юм. Инээд хүрэмээр, бараг мэдэхгүй байж заримдаа их мэдэмхийрч бичдэг аюултай сэтгүүлчдийн нэгэн. Гэвч энэ бичсэн нийтлэл нь надад их таалагдлаа. Улаан цайм зарим хүмүүсийн үр хүүхдүүдийг дайрч хүмүрголон бичсэн МАН-ы эсрэг явуулга гэлтэй ч тарааж байгаа мессеж нь их зөв санагдав. Залуу хүмүүс улс төржихгүй мэдлэг боловсрол хуримтлуулж цэвэрээр явах хэрэгтэй. Зарим нэгэн сайхан залуучууд улс...

Mummies, equally incomprehensible and not yet convincingly explained, stare at us from the remote past as if they held some magic secret. Various peoples knew the technique of embalming corpses, and archaeological finds favour the supposition that prehistoric beings believed in return to a second life, i.e. a corporeal return… Drawings and sagas actually...

Олоод уншчихна. Дараа нь олон юм ярина. Өөрөө олж уншдаггүй юмаа гэхэд найз нь олоод уншчихна. За тэр яахав. Энэ жил блог дээрээ урьднан жилтэй харьцуулахад илүү...
