This is probably in the wrong section, but I'd like to know what you guys think. I was interviewed two weeks ago by my first-choice employer and I really enjoyed talking to the boss and I think she enjoyed interviewing me too. However, the HR Manager said they were conducting more interviews that week and would know by the next week (meaning, last week). I sent them a thank you letter after two days by email.
That same week, I was interviewed by my second choice company and today asked when I would be available, because they were narrowing their choice. I told them I'd give an answer this week.
Question: Would it be in order to call first choice employer and ask if I got the job (it's been two weeks after all)? I don't want to seem too aggressive but I need to make a decision about the second-choice company soon.

Do this if your parent especially your mother is there with you now...or else you could use a photo of your mom instead (but skip no. 1 & 2)

1- wait until she went to bed and fall asleep..
2- sit next to her without waking her up..
3- look into your mother's face for approximately 10 minutes..
4- after that close your eyes for 5 minutes..
5- again look into your mom's face for another 10 minutes...

tell me what exactly did you see..

star this to share within your networks..

I'm an expert on fencing, and I do want to learn this exotic Japanese arts of swordmanship.

What inspired me is the movie Kill Bill, watching how the Japanese really appreciate their swords ... Japanese swordmanship is very different form her western counterpart. There's something that I can't explain in words....

In short, where could I learn and master this Samurai swordmanship? Should I go to Japan directly here?


PS: I know about Kendo, another Japanese martial arts using bamboo as weapon. No, I mean a real Samurai sword here....

And BTW, is it legal to bring Samurai sword everywhere in Japan? Because from what I see in Kill Bill, it seems that the Japanese doesn't mind to take their sword with them in public places (airport, night club, etc....). Is it true then?

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English" .
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft " c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".
This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double leters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united Urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas. If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl

Sharing a theory about the etymology of a very important word in the English language...
Certain types of manure used to be transported (as everything was years ago) by ship.
In dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water
(at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of
fermentation began again, of which a byproduct is methane gas.

As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, KA- BOOOOM!

Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was discovered what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term "S.H.I.T" on them which meant that the sailors must " Ship High In T ransit."
In other words, high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.
