I was born in Lisbon, nineteen summers ago, being the third and last son of my mother. We weren’t rich or poor, though I was valued as the new family treasure. As time went on, I leaned my mind towards science and the unknown prizes that knowledge can bring. As a young-ling, almost all of my playing time was entertaining me with thousands of Lego bricks. I would then see me as a great architect, a builder of castles with an imagination beyond expectations. Seven years after that, and a great amount of crusades that I may possibly talk about later, the kid with huge projects in mind, moved to Algarve, landing gears on Albufeira’s soil. Oh the heat, the Sun, the magnificent sea with no less than miles and miles to swim. It was a fantastic day, as much as a disaster. The moving factor changed me forever. The naïve boy lost everything. He had to live without a father, without friends. He had to grow up by himself. Some say that my stubbornness started in that time, being a gesture of self-protection. For me, it was the way I was “destined” to rule the world. As seen by me, this planet hides loads of different types of human beings. All of them are, without question, singular. The only thing that joins them in the same Latin race denomination “Homo Sapiens, Sapiens”, is the intelligence – Which some of us have more than others, no big deal – as much as the pride, the greed and the survival instincts that still turns us into animals. I am an Animal. I aim to do grand things. My greed makes me seek war and peace, love and hatred, sky and earth. I wish to fulfill my own destiny – a destiny that I write and seek – I seek to be myself.

As for me writing this text, lots of ideas have come up in my mind. I could have written more amount my life, entangling ideals, motto’s and my straightforward character. But none of those are important. Nothing in my past life has that relevance, greatness or interest. I only see life as a clock, an hourglass that slowly drips sand into the bottom, reminding me how precious 5 seconds can be. I aspire to be a great writer, to travel all around the globe and seek new ideas and motto’s. And that’s why I’m here today, studying in this course, living one day after another. This is what defines me. This if what I think about…

The German crown went to Adolf of Nassau instead. But the nobles turned against Adolf when he tried to increase his family holdings through wars in Meissen and Thuringia, disputed areas in east and central Germany. Fearing that territorial acquisitions would give the king too much power, the nobles deposed him in 1298 and elected Albert in his place. Albert was crowned king of Germany at Aachen (Aix-la-Chapel) later in the year.

Pope Boniface VIII forbade the German princes to obey Albert, hoping to force the king to make concessions to the papacy in Germany in return for papal support. Instead, Albert allied himself with the pope’s foe, Philip IV of France. With the help of French troops and money, Albert succeeded in subduing the archbishops of Cologne, Mainz, and Trier by 1302. But his fear of the increasing French influence in Germany and his desire for peace with the papacy led Albert to break his alliance with Philip in 1302. In 1303 he swore an oath of obedience to the pope and promised to defend the papal interests in Italy.

Albert never succeeded in being crowned by the pope. But his peace with the pope allowed him to concentrate on increasing the Habsburg possessions. He became involved in wars in the Netherlands, Hungary, Bohemia, and Thuringia, but the rulers of these countries were strong enough to retain their independence. His last campaign was in Switzerland, where the Habsburgs held disputed title to various estates. When the Swiss forest cantons of Schwyz, Nidwalden (part of Unterwalden Canton), and Uri revolted, Albert welcomed the chance to subjugate all of Switzerland. At the same time, his nephew, John of Swabia (later known as John the Parricide), requested recognition of his Swabian inheritance, but Albert rejected these demands. In revenge, John had him assassinated along the Reuss River, near Brugg, Switzerland, on May 1, 1308.

Albert II (1397–1439) was born on Aug. 10, 1397, and succeeded his father Albert as duke of Austria in 1404. The young duke, known as Albert V of Austria, took control of the government when he was 14. He assisted Emperor Sigismund in his unsuccessful war in Bohemia, and in 1422 married the emperor’s daughter Elizabeth.

After Sigismund’s death in 1437, Albert was crowned king of Hungary on Jan. 1, 1438, and of Bohemia six months later. He was chosen king of Germany on March 18, 1438, but was never crowned emperor. Although he gave promise of being an able ruler during his short reign, he was chiefly occupied with suppressing an insurrection in Bohemia and defending Hungary against the Turks. He died from dysentery on Oct. 27, 1439, while campaigning against the Turks in Hungary. After his death, the German crown passed to his cousin, Frederick III. It remained in the Habsburg family thereafter, with only one interruption, until the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806.

What happened?

It’s a hard life. I don’t know if you understand me. Have you ever been on death row? I murdered my wife fifteen years ago. She was having an affair with our neighbour.

I smashed her skull with a hammer while she was sleeping. She didn’t stand a chance.

I am thirty-eight years old. I regret my act now. My wife will never come back to me. Rage blinded me.

Anger is a double-edged sword. I implore you to never let your emotions get the better of you. My wife cheated on me. She was being unfaithful to me, and yet, I shouldn’t have killed her.

I sit in solitary confinement all day long, and I stare at the walls and bars, and wonder when this torture will end. How will the end be? I just get the disturbing feeling that this will go on forever.

I sit all by myself, wasting away. I killed my wife.

I don’t expect any compassion from you. I know you want me to go out of this world. I know you are already thinking “if this guy is ever released, won’t he fall back to violence?”

I often think if anyone in this world cares for me.

How old are you? Eighteen? Twenty one?  Twenty-seven? I warn you, rage comes in like a thief. I know you are not interested in the advice of a wife-murdering convict on death row, and yet, I am the best person to advice you.

Listen to me. Anger is a dangerous thing. All these years by myself has dulled my senses. I feel neither anger, nor hurt, nor sadness, nor anything for that matter.

I don’t ask for another chance. I have made my peace with my God.

By the way, just in case it means anything at all to you, I care for you, and I love you. I hope your life prospers, and I hope you experience true and lasting happiness.

The Middle East, in general, has had a long history of being exploited for various resources and political reasons by the European and Western worlds. These, as well as the uncontrollable socioeconomic, cultural and political forces of Globalization have ended up severely infringed on not only the sovereignty of these states, but also the traditional Islamist culture they wish to keep. While many embrace the various aspects of Globalization; however, various factions and political leaders have taken this nationalist spirit to an extreme via a backlash of globalism. These backlashes have resulted in instability in nearly all aspects of government, as well as spikes in violent protest (a.k.a. – terrorism). While terrorism can be born regardless of state or nationality, Pakistan stands out among the crowd. Considering the aid received from various nations in Pakistan’s quest for independence from India (succeeding via the Partition of India in 1947); one would think with such international support that Pakistan would be more stable and peaceful. Despite the long-term attempts to have peaceful, diplomatic relations with Pakistan, it remains the epicenter of dealing with terrorism, as well as one of the most violent, unstable nations there is.[1] As Pakistan remains a nuclear power, along with containing 15 nuclear power sites within its borders, the international community therefore must carefully craft their approach to this unstable state.  While many argue that violence is the only way to deal with people like this, I argue that a full scale war would prove to be disastrous in the end (note the aforementioned nuclear missiles). We, instead, must use diplomatic means of re-structuring the Pakistani government’s egregious world goals. Various economic and militaristic sanctions, revoking certain privileges granted by the U.N., along with keeping a “close eye” on the internal machinations of the Pakistani government are very possible alternatives to combat.

A majority, if not all, of these aforementioned problems can be attributed to the pseudo-Democratic system (or Federal Parliamentary republic) that Pakistan has in place. This governmental system is similar to that of China and Iran, where it appears to be a “Democracy,” but it isn’t the kind of democracy we typically think of, which is a Liberal Republic.[2] Pakistan (and other states) uses this façade to trick states that provide economic and military aid to not think twice about where the money is going to or to whom. Now this statement has gradually become less true as intelligence agencies within the major European and Western powers have discovered the corruption and misuse of money. In 2008, an anonymous tip to The Guardian news reported that probably around $3.8 Billion of U.S. aid alone were wasted or misspent by the Pakistani Government, which is calculated around 70% of the aid given between 2002 and 2007.[3] While the U.S. has been the major source of aid to Pakistan, they have also taken large loans from IGO’s and NGO’s such as the IMF, Election Support Group (ESG) and the U.K.[4] [5] [6] [7] While more and more money goes to the Pakistani government for anti-terrorism measures, we continue to see substantially less amounts of it going where it’s supposed to. In conjunction, we’ve also seen a rise in the amount of terrorists crossing in and out of Pakistan, or in Osama Bin Laden’s case, living there peacefully in a large house for 5 years right next to a major military base in Abbottabad.

 As far as Anti-Terrorism goes, the Pakistani government has been not only lying about intelligence pertaining to whereabouts of terrorists wanted worldwide, but they had duped most of the world into believing it, as every time the US or India accused Pakistan of giving terrorist groups a safe-haven, they denied it.[8] Despite the overbearing evidence found from Operation “Neptune Spear” about Pakistani links to Osama Bin Laden, intelligence on other terrorists in Pakistan, etc… Pakistan still denies it’s involvement in aiding terrorists, and they, along with Fidel Castro[9], Ismail Haniyeh[10], and Amnesty International[11], condemned the international community (and the US itself) for allowing the U.S. to violate its sovereignty and assassinate people within its borders. Attorney General Eric refuted this by stating the killing was done in national self-defense, especially after Bin Laden took the blame for the 9/11 massacre of 3,000 peoples. As aforementioned, Pakistan has become substantially more and more aggressive with the international community, and seemingly gave up all stakes in the fight against terrorism. The fact that the U.S. had to keep this raid almost a complete secret among its own government, allies, and Pakistan[12] leads to the conclusion that Pakistan is not to be trusted, especially when considering that Pakistan ‘gave China access’ to the downed US prototype stealth helicopter used in the raid.[13] Not only did Pakistan go behind the entire world’s back by knowingly or (unlikely) unknowingly harboring terrorists, but they also obviously cannot be trusted with money, as seen by reckless spending of Anti-terrorist loans/funds, or information. Contrary to Pakistani claims that US intervention is the sole facilitating force of terrorist growth in the region, AFPAK foreign policy news notes that terrorist groups like the LeJ, LeT, and LeM existed long before US and European involvement.[14]Because of the corrupt nature of this government, it’s not a problem of lack of aid, because there is plenty of military and economic aid being pumped into Pakistan by the IMF and other countries. The unstable and corrupt government is the major problem that has, and continues to be a constant threat to not only their historical enemy, India, but the entire world.[15]

If abusing anti-terrorist aid, aiding terrorists wanted worldwide, and being an overall aggressive and corrupt state wasn’t enough, Pakistan has been a Nuclear power since 1972, and contains around 15 Nuclear (power) sites within its borders.[16] This recently became a very hot topic worldwide when GOP Presidential Candidate Michelle Bachman quoted Goldberg & Ambinder’s (writers for Atlantic Monthly) report in their Pakistan dispatch. According to them, at least six of  Pakistan’s nuclear facilities have been targeted by terrorists, and that (according to satellite imagery & other sources) there are at least 15 other plants around Pakistan in which jihadists can obtain some kind of nuclear materials or even warheads.[17] Bachman, along with President Obama, and other world leaders have acknowledged this very real threat, and because of the nuclear nature of this situation, every move made by a state towards Pakistan must be done ever so carefully.[18] China especially believes that nearly any type of deficiency of international support in Pakistan would imperil the entire stability of the state.[19] Pakistan’s growing violent tendencies is further proved by their direct backing of the Afghan Taliban-allied Haqqani network linked to the September 13th attack on the US in Kabul.[20] The fact that a nuclear state with a corrupt government and weak nuclear security is aiding terrorists isn’t only a US or India problem, it’s a real immediate international threat.

As I mentioned earlier, while the international community (including numerous IGOs and NGOs) have given vast amounts of economic, humanitarian, and military aid to Pakistan, most of it has been misused and poorly appropriated. Over the years, numerous countries have become pessimistic and therefore unwilling to pay their dues for peacekeeping in the UN.  Recently, the UN and IGO/NGOs has generally stayed passive and seemingly unwilling to intervene in Pakistan, mainly because they have yet to find a course of action that would take the neocolonialism aspect out of humanitarian interventions, and therefore a possible violation of sovereignty. In the past, states have attempted to use sanctions against an unwilling Pakistan (per India’s request) to change the course of governmental actions; however, they seem to have failed  as Pakistan still has direct links to supporting internal and external militant groups.[21] [22] [23] It would be ideal if there was an entire restructuring of the government via some sort of revolution by the people, akin to that of the Arab spring. In light of the Arab spring, it seems that a large amount of people in North Africa/the Middle East are keen to the idea of Democracy now with the expanse of the social networking capabilities. Using our own, NATO, UN, or diplomatic means to persuade the people to revolt against their corrupt government, again, is ideal; however the problem lies within keeping the current regime from undermining those efforts and retaliating. Many Europeans and Westerners argue that the age-old campaign of attempting to push Democracy in the Middle East will not work; however, that is not the case. It is quite clear that a real Democracy can be born and thrives from and by the people as seen by the Arab spring.[24]

Using the Arab Spring as the example again, the decades old dictatorial and corrupt governments fell to the will of the people. I believe that the educating of the Pakistani people of Democracy and the other successful movements across the Middle East can change the old consensus to want a removal of the current regime. Much like the Libyan campaign of NATO and other economic and militaristic forces aiding the rebels, success can be guaranteed with the same kind of fervor for a Liberal Republic. A way to accomplish this would be more harsh economic and militaristic sanctions (internationally enforced) on the current Pakistani government to not only get the gov’t to act more for its people, but to show the Pakistani people that their government isn’t doing things for their best interest, and rather the world has had to pick up its slack. Like the Arab Spring revolutions, we would need to instill a sense of Nationalism and Globalism at the same time in the Pakistani people so they not only have a sense of community within their borders to want their Government to be more responsive and helpful, but also feel that they are welcome in the Global world today. Some, like Senator Lindsey Graham, argue that this government is too corrupt to negotiate with, and military action must be used in order to end their aiding of terrorists.[25] While we did have to go behind Pakistan’s back to use military force against Osama Bin Laden and kill known terrorists, no state can risk a war with Pakistan, as its nuclear capabilities in the hands of terrorists, or the current government is too large of a risk for large casualties. Not only that, but if the current regime were to fall via war, Terrorist cells would easily be able to infiltrate and obtain nuclear weapons.[26] The proper approach would be for negotiations, sanctions, UN, NATO, US and other states enforcing their presence in Pakistan to act better, and/or whipping up a revolutionary movement.

I would argue that most people in the world would rather see an internationally aided Pakistan revolution than continuing with the status quo. The benefits of such exponentially outweigh the drawbacks, despite claims by many media outlets (i.e. – Fox News) that the Muslim Brotherhood and/or terrorists would take the place of the fallen, corrupt regimes. However, this could not and will not happen, as according to polls in Egypt, such groups have approval ratings close to that of Hosni Mubarak’s 10%.[27] With Democratic policies setting in among the Arab Spring states, Tunisia already casting its first election, it is reasonable to believe that these people are much better off now than they were at the beginning of 2011, and the same could be said for Pakistan. As long as the international community continues to send the message to Pakistan that their pro-terrorist/militant agenda will not be tolerated, the gears of Revolution will continue to turn, and hopefully, revolution can spark and replace this corrupt and unstable government, with a new international ally, trading partner, and peacekeeper. Also considering the amount of money the world has pumped into an unwilling and immovable Pakistan, a new, Liberal Republic government could soothe the economic pains of those who loaned money by re-gaining control of their share of OPEC, the Nuclear sites and missiles. This wouldn’t only calm the fears of oil sanctions on the international community (by a corrupt Pakistan) but it would greatly reduce the international security and safety risk with more transparency and better anti-terrorism measures in place.

Tyrannical leaders similar to Napoleon led their countries into times of war, despair, and economic depression, and during these times the people’s quality of life deteriorated significantly. Although they may differ in their methods used to rise to power, dictators such as Adolf Hitler and Muammar al-Qaddafi abused their political power and forcibly oppressed their citizens to make irrational decisions that brought harsh repercussions.

            First used by the Ancient Greeks, the term tyrant commonly refers to a violent, ruthless, and unreasonable ruler who independently gains absolute control over his nation and uses a multitude of different strategies to gain supporters which become loyal to the tyrant (Tyrants). Under this definition, Napoleon of Animal Farm can easily be proven to be a tyrannical mastermind as he also came to power by force rather than election. In addition, he exercises the use of propaganda with the help of Squealer to trick the less intelligent animals into believing that conditions were improving as they were obviously becoming much worse than before Napoleon ruled. Much like this method, some politicians may use false promises of restoring peace, granting freedom, or solving economic problems to procure a large number of followers (Tyrants).  This utilization of misinformation and trickery is simply one of many tactics which tyrants employ to increase their authority and control. After coming into power, by using the manipulation of propaganda and the blind loyalty of many supporters, a tyrant can pass his or her own rules or amend existing ones to further establish their dominance over the people. Most of the time, the new regulations would only benefit the oppressive ruler and ultimately cause the circumstance of life for common people to plummet (Tyrants). In the course of history, infamous authoritarians such as Adolf Hitler have used these tactics to assert themselves as tyrants and hurled their nations into times of anguish and hardship.

            Early in his life, Hitler became intrigued with the ideas of anti-Semitism and mass political manipulation. These beliefs are what enabled him to quickly escalate his social status until he created the Nazi party in 1932 and received enough recognition that President Hindenburg appointed Hitler as chancellor (Adolf). He made great use of his enormous support base by eliminating all other political rivals and then appointing himself as Fuhrer when the president finally died (Thomson). During charismatic and motivational speeches, Hitler made promises to fix the economic problems Germany was faced with from the depression, (promises which he would not keep). He exploited these fabricated assurances to keep the nation loyal while established his own police force and an immense system of propaganda, which allowed him to achieve complete control (Adolf). With these in effect, Hitler was free to do as he pleased while the people were unaware of his decisions, causing very little opposition. As the economy remained in a global depression, Hitler had no way of restoring stability and therefore he blamed Jewish people as a scapegoat for all the complications which he could never fix. His Nazi party which he created to gain many of his followers supported this nationalist plan, and the persecution of Jews throughout Germany soon ensued (Thomson). Using his propaganda system, Hitler convinced the people of Germany that they would need to prepare for war, and then six million unemployed citizens were put to work. The erratic decision for Hitler and his brainwashed army of Nazi soldiers to invade many nearby countries in Europe caused world a war to be waged on Germany. As Hitler and his army campaigned across Europe, conquering huge amounts of territory, he employed his “final solution” plan to imprison and kill all the Jews in each new land he took under his control (Adolf). This had major effects on the people as the Green Police shut down all Jewish businesses and worked to instill fear in the citizens. As Hitler and the Nazis made their way into the Soviet Union, they were faced with such heavy opposition from the Red Army that he recruited everyone from young boys to old men into battle with very little training (Thomson). As many people began to see how Hitler’s plans were causing conditions to sink tremendously, assassination attempts were conducted by some of his highest military officers. This internal disunity caused enough turmoil for the American soldiers to invade Germany, eventually conquering Berlin and brought the war to an end (Adolf). Hitler’s inability to successfully come through with his plans shows how tyrants’ ineffective manners of authority lead to disastrous outcomes, not only for the tyrant, but for the entire nation.

            While some rulers slowly evolve into tyrants using manipulation, others quickly establish themselves as corrupted and irrational leaders, but usually both ways cause a similar end result. Muammar al-Qaddafi, a pious Muslim and Arab nationalist, began plotting to overthrow the Libyan king as early as when he graduated from college. He entered the military and speedily climbed through the ranks, until in 1969 a group of officers and he seized the king’s monarchy and took control for themselves. Qaddafi was pronounced the commander-in-chief of armed forces and chairman of the new governing committee, the Revolution Command Council (Muammar). He immediately began employing his radical nationalist ideals by creating many harsh and restrictive rules which conveyed his personal Islamic principles. Policies such as the removal of foreign military bases, expulsion of Jews and Italians, monopolizing other countries’ oil resources and a ban on alcohol were approved without consensus from the Libyan citizens. This caused Libya to be partially isolated by those Qaddafi wronged and made the Libyan citizens suffer trade implications and some sanctions to be placed (Wallechinsky). After 1974, Muammar was becoming more known in the international prospect for his erratic and unpredictable actions. He began financing a wide range of terrorist organizations and had teams of Libyan agents go to murder exiles in foreign countries (Muammar). Qaddafi’s increasing terrorist activity brought growing conflict with the United States government and in 1986 British warplanes bombed several cities in Libya, killing or injuring multiple civilians while they were attempting to kill him (Wallechinsky). Other such acts which caused his people to suffer was the establishment of cleansing committees, which were originally intended to help people in the workplace be equal. Instead, the groups operated to identify and kill anyone who opposed Qaddafi and could make an attempt to revolt (Muammar). Muammar al-Qaddafi was quick to develop tyrannical behaviors and abuses his power to oppress his people, while only focusing on his own values, which causes the populace to suffer greatly.

            While tyrants and dictators both establish themselves into rule by ways of deceit, half truths, and military utilization, the natures of their rules are radically different though they both result in deteriorated living conditions for the people. Such as how Hitler used the Great Depression to gain supporters and then caused World War II to destroy most of Germany. Similarly, Muammar Qaddafi overthrew the government using his military control and when he came into power he allied himself with terrorists, which brought forth destructive bombings on Libya. They both made unreasonable decisions which brought harm to their people when they were only focused on furthering their power and trying to accomplish personal goals.

Random fact about the letter “I”: The small dot on top of a lowercase “i” is called a tittle. The tittle first appeared in Latin manuscripts in the 11th century, to distinguish the letter i from strokes of nearby letters. Although originally a larger mark, it was reduced to a dot when Roman-style typefaces were introduced.

DHgate.com Reviews – China Based e-Commerce Platform. DHgate is a B2B e-Commerce marketplace that has global online trade with China.

You should know that not only one sellers on this website. There are almost over 10,000 chinese sellers using this platform to sell things.

Dealextreme – Dealextreme is one of the biggest china-based retail website. Sometimes the retail price is even lower than most wholesale sites. I have a lot of friends in Canada go to purchase on this site. The delivery speed is a little longer, usually taking a month or even more. But considering the products coming from China and the cheap price, that’s not a problem.

madeinchina.com – madeinchina is a china-based wholesale platform. It is smaller than alibaba. The categories are similar to alibaba. It provides another option for foreign importers.

Lightinthebox – Wedding clothing for brides is the major category in this site. The wedding stuff is at dirt cheap price. Most packages are shipped by express mail service. One of my friend purchased an item. It took 7 days to get it. That’s very fast for a china online store.

 
I like shopping on local stores, I also like shopping online. I bought almost everything in my every day life from the internet. I think it is interesting, what’s your point?

In these days, we get more and more cool gadgets as gifts to our friend or relatives. Both the consuming behaviors and our everyday life are changed.

Well Each young woman is different. 

Shy girls: May lower their head, look at you over their eyelashes and get all red in the face. They also become increasingly nervous. 
Confident Girls can act in two ways: 
One girl can feel confident enough to snuggle up beside you, even poke you with her arm, lean against you, put an arm around you or bluntly tell you how she feels. These young women can often be loud and abrasive and sometimes their actions are misunderstood as cold with an ulterior motive that you may not want to get involved with, but don’t let this type of girl scare you off. 
Another confident type of girl takes what she wants and goes for it. Most of the time these gals are out for a good time, nothing too serious and “let’s party” and can be quite shallow personality wise, so be aware. 
Then there is the “good old fashion girl” and oh, yes, they are still out there. These girls are looking for a steady guy and serious about being loyal and making an effort at working within their new relationship. They often are between shy and a little outgoing. They can appear hyper one moment and joking around, then grow silent and thoughtful without a moments notice. 

If she truly likes you she WILL show you signs and try to make you notice, it’s your job to take notice of these actions and take action yourself!

There are also many things to consider:

If she’s sitting near you and she even if she’s not looking at you, her body or her legs will point to your direction, this is a psychological thing. 

Usually if that girl likes you, she will laugh and smile A LOT!

If you happen to be a good friend of her’s, she’ll try to make a customized name for you or even jokes.

The type that’s not shy will always take her chance to be around you, you have to take notice of this.

And last but furmost most important, she will give you the DEATH STARE, if you stare, talk, or do anything with another girl, jealousy is bad but it’s effective.

You have to consider many of these factors to utilize them, before you know it you’ll be in a relationship with her.
