Is The Dollar Exchange Rate Driving You Crazy?
Over the last couple of weeks I don’t think I’ve ever paid as much attention to exchange and interest rates. Â Even when I studied Economics at University (seems so long ago now) I never paid as much attention to key economic indicators!
All of my blog earnings are in dollars, apart from intellitxt, and [...]
iPlagiarismcheck.com - Instant Online Plagiarism Checking Service
I finished my education just before computers became commonplace at schools and universities. At school I think we had a few computers that could be signed out and used for various lessons, although I don’t think many of my teachers were trained very well.

The Top 10 Dying Computer Skills

I’ve always wanted a logo for my site, but I don’t have a creative bone in my body so I haven’t even attempted one. If anyone is willing to put one together for me that they think will fit in with my site theme, I’ll be eternally grateful.
If you’re thinking of putting together a [...]

YouTube Video Showing Police Tasering Student FIFTY Times
Sometimes YouTube isn’t all fun and games…….I just followed a link from Sanaz’s blog through to YouTube to a video showing FOUR police officers repeatedly tasering a student who refused to ’stand up’ whilst being arrested.
I don’t know the circumstances surrounding the student’s arrest, but surely the FOUR officers could have carried him out? [...]
