What I want to do after 10 years.
This way the youth will have things to do in their spare time this will let them avoid bad things such as smoking,drinking or wasting time in the streets and let them look forward to championships or tournaments maybe this way they can make their country proud of them .
It's not okay to be gay ; you can call me 'narrow minded' or what ever you like but I'd never believe in a man-man relationship .
All the respect they're having , the appreciation they're getting is a bit awkward when scientists develop in many fields like aviation , biology & electronics are never mentioned , while gays like hairstylists and fashion designers are known globally .
In a country like Libya , this would be the weirdest thing ever ,were a muslims give gays rights ! lets start with the marriage , how can it be legal to have a man-man marriage ? Who's going to play the wife's part ? If a problem goes on between the couple , who's going to 'divorce' the other guy ?
These kinds of marriages are prohibited by Islam , Allah & even in the Holy Quran it's forbidden for two men to get in an affair .
In Libya , we youth gets prostitutes with no legal actions ,when Jack Daniel's is sold cheaper than water , when Mariguana is given for free (5 leaves for each citizen) , when another Vegas is built in our enormous desert , that time can ask for their rights
In the end of this , Allah might have brought gays up to this world for a reason that we'd never know .

Knowing that her colleagues will arrest her , she tries to call and warn her husband but there's no answer so she intelligently outsmarts the agents and leaves the building. She realizes that her husband has been kidnapped she picks up one of her husband's spider and some of her weapons. Salt takes some venom from the spider then leaves for the funeral of the American Vice President in New York . She ingeniously passes through all the security unnoticed and a shot is heard.Peabody (FBI agent ) tries to capture Salt but she escapes. The media mentions that the Russian President is dead. She meets Orlov and he tests her devotion by murdering her husband, Michael, but she reveals no emotion and Orlov is glad. Her next mission is to murder the U.S President with another Russian agent. Angered by her husbands death she kills Orlov and the Russian agents. Evelyn disguises herself and accesses the White House , Winter turns out to be a Russian agent and he launches missiles at Mecca and Tehran so Salt is trying to persuade him to let her in,he watches the news of the Russian President being alive. It turns out that the spider venom is only temporary. She manages her way in and fights over stopping the missiles with Winter , she eventually wins and stops them.
Peabody is cynical about Salt's claims of saving the day. While on the helicopter going to the FBI agency , she tells him about what she did, so when he got a message mentioning that her fingerprints were on the dead body,he believes her so removes the cuffs and she jumps down the river.

UFO
There has been many phenomena all over the world that excited people to know more . one of these phenomena is ufo. UFO is an acronym for Unidentified Flying Object. Any airbornevehicle or phenomenon that cannot be accounted for by qualified, experienced investigators using modern, accepted equipment and methods is classified as a UFO. Although UFO's are often attributed to extraterrestrial life or technology, no conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial origin has ever been made public. In fact, very little evidence even suggesting extraterrestrial involvement has ever been recovered, other than eye-witness accounts of unusual acceleration and maneuverability not possible by current human technology. Despite the lack of evidence, many people choose to attribute any unexplained celestial circumstance as the work of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Libya – The past, present and the Future.
First, I will describe briefly about Libya’s last century, up until the point of 1969, where Libyans had to undergo treatment much similar to that of dogs. In the early 20th century Libya was mainly colonized by the Italians. The following is pretty much reminiscent of what has happened in the past year for us Libyans. A man name King Idris rebelled against the Italians and soon enough on the day of Christmas eve of 1951 Libyans had acquired the sweet taste of freedom. However, all good things must come to an end.
In 1969, there came a man name Muammer Gadaffi, at the time the Libyans must have displease with King Idris, maybe he wasn’t as sinister as Gaddafi but he must have failed the Libyans in terms of commitment and perseverance. Gadaffi at the time was a viewed as a hero, but something sinister and dark was lurking inside. Gadaffi had made sure all the accumulated money went to him, he could decide what to do with it. He pretty soon enough turned from a young humble innocent fellow to a rumbling mad man. That’s what makes the story so tragic, if you compare the two, it’s very hard to believe that this man is the reason why the majority Libyans are unfortunately not educated well, unable to differentiate between the obvious and the vague. He had left Libya to rot and the people didn’t have the faintest idea about it. Gadaffi was a peculiar and mysterious person in the later stages of his life, with many mocking speeches and strange doings in life, his appearance was very odd in public and he liked to pitch up tents instead of staying at Hotels. He was trying convey he was a humble, modest person, unfortunates that was not the case, and many Libyans could now see into those eyes, the clouded judgement that lay within. Gadaffi was a psychotic unstable freak, people couldn’t tolerate it any longer. Any people however that tried to oppose him or plan any ideas to, were dispatched with easily, and soon enough the idea was pretty much out of the question. However, hope was still in the air, and in 2011 people started watching how Tunisia and Egypt had gained their freedom. Suddenly all Libyans rejoiced and planned for their freedom, they were motivated by the fall of their comrades earlier on, and soon enough they fought for their country, many brave souls died and now that Gadaffi is gone, we can hope that Libya will change for the better. But maybe I spoke to soon?
People, although they wish to keep it to themselves, are regretting the revolution ever happened. Inexperienced rebels are roaming around the streets with guns, from what my friends tell me back in Libya, it doesn’t sound too good, I, might be exaggerating it a little bit, but a lot of people have guns know, this is a problem, surely young teenagers with guns is a bad thing. The problem is the ntc has not acted fast enough, people are becoming inpatient and are wanting rapid change quickly. The want increase in Salaries, better house development, restore and order on the streets, As of today, none of that has happened. But patience is a virtue and Libyans, while some are impatient, know a lot about patience for they had to go on 4 decades living the worst days of their lives.
Libya, too much people’s surprise is a very wealthy country indeed. It has the highest Human Development Index in Africa and continues to boast good numbers at the Oil production sector. That’s why God gave Libya Oil, to ensure that the Libyans people’s wishes are fulfilled. I think us Libyans aren’t against the ntc, but they have to help us help them and vice versa. Libya is now going to enter a new era, the country’s Oil reserves won’t last forever and it’s important we make haste in the allocated time. Just like in 1959, when the first Oil and Gas reserves were located, Libya at the time was the richest country and 50 years later it still stands firm at the top. Although Oil production was affected during the Uprising, Oil Production is bound to start sooner rather than later.
I just hope all this wasn’t just a sham from the US government just to have a healthy supply of loot for the following years. For Politics is complicated and some things just appear too good to be true. Which is related to my point, Most Libyans can’t differentiate between the Right or the wrong. Gadaffi had left Libya in such a state of turmoil that when the Americans helped the Libyans out, they would be to naive to realise their mistake. Although Gadaffi was a mass murderer, he was unbelievably smart, so smart, that he predicted his rule would come to an end, and he had known the Libyan rebels would execute him on capture, the only reason he stayed in Libya, was that so he could die and evade capture and torture, thus keeping his secrets impossible to extract.
Libya will take a while to adjust to the new found freedom, the people will have to be patient and must respect the ntc’s decisions, I just hope that the people are willing to work together in allegiance and may God watch down on us as we hopefully become the country everyone has wanted over the last half century. That of one of closeness, loyally, modesty, trust and most important of all determination. We must never give up, I am a Libyan and proud to be a Libyan.

Death Response
The moment you get the news of losing a loved one you feel like getting your heart stepped on. Just after that feeling is gone you will start to think that it may be impossible to keep the your life’s same routine running because of the loss.
I have experienced what I wrote too many times. All the feelings may disappear after few days but you will still think of it going although you forget but you can remember, the moments , which gave you the thinking of having wonderful friends, and the moment and the feeling of the loss your life.
No better way of giving that person the true attention needed and showing him your true love than the Islamic way, where the person is carried on his/her friends shoulders and given his/her last ride to the grave , in a funeral procession. As God described in Quran you came from soil like particle and to soil shall you return. And also described in Holy Quran as we gave you the soul it shall return back .
Sp without any warning you may experience what I just described, that is death and we have to deal with it.

ROALD DAHL
was born in 1916 in Wales of Norwegian parents he died in November 19190. He
became one of the most successful writers he was well known for his interesting
books he wrote.
I read a lot of his books but my favorite
was Matilda ‘a story about a girl who was hated by her parents because she was
the odd one in her family she loved books and she did well in school but her
family was all about gambling wasting time they just never read a word off a
book her dad sells cars to people that cost way more than they should she then
discovers her powers and started using them against everyone that made her life
miserable’. What I like most about his books is the way he uses his imagination
his books were always fun to read. Some of the other books that I enjoyed
reading was James and the Giant peach, Charlie and the chocolate factory, The
BFG an Fantastic Mr. fox. They were all interesting and they all had a
different Idea and different types of characters which made it fun to carry on
reading more of what he wrote.

Friends
the doors of friendship swing wide
In life we always need people to be there
for us when we need them and to understand you to love you for who you are.
Those people are friends we all need friends, my point of view my friends are
part of my life. We are always there for each other a true friend is the
greatest of all blessings. Friendship that comes to an end never even began.
What I love most about my friends is the way they understand me and I don’t
have to explain anything. Life is partly what we make it and partly what it is
made by the friends whom we choose. Always be slow in choosing friends slower
still in changing them. Never apologies for your terrible friends. We are all
someone’s terrible friends. And always remember the more arguments you win the
fewer friends you’ll have. Everybody should have at least two friends one to
talk to and one to talk about. If people knew what each said about the other,
there wouldn’t be five friends in the whole world.
We are on the wrong tack when we think of
friendship as something to get rather than something to give.
It’s said that a man’s hair and teeth are
just about his best friends, but even the best of all friends fall out.

WE NEED WATER IN SCHOOL
Research has shown that we need to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, even more in hot weather. If we don’t, we start to dehydrate our brains cannot work efficiently and we can get headaches. Scientific studies prove that children who drink the recommended amount of water. ‘if children do not drink enough water they are storing up problems for adulthood, such as kidney disease and high blood pressure,’ a leading kidney specialist has stated.
Schools too have seen the benefits of supplying their pupils with water.
Teachers of class of 9-10 years old reported that after a month of drinking water whenever they wanted to, the children’s attention spans improved. One head teacher said that simply stopping for a drink seemed to help children to re-focus on what they were doing. A class teacher said, ‘the children seem less tired and they seem to enjoy drinking water.
“We all know that we should drink more water.” Said a spokeswoman for the National Kidney Research Fund. “The idea of allowing children to drink water in classrooms starts a good habit for life.”
