Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

In recent times, celebrity magazines have jumped to the forefront of the reader’s circle when it comes to magazines. In fact, celebrity magazines have become more popular than news magazines or public interest magazines. Celebrities have always been popular, and people have always liked to subscribe to them. However, there has been a trend recently that puts celebrity magazine readership at an all time high. There are several reasons for this.

First of all, there are simply more celebrity magazines, celebrity gossip centered television shows, websites, and blogs, as well as more celebrity news sources in general. (Read the full post about ‘The Rise in Popularity of Celebrity Magazines Posted By : Craig Elliott’…)

A Brief History of Magazines Posted By : Craig Elliott

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Magazines have been around for many years. Of course, they began in a typical fashion, as simply words that were written down to attract customers. The actual history of the magazine can be traced back to the newspaper industry. The newspaper industry wanted to do more in-depth articles and articles that required much more research than the columns that were featured on a daily basis. From time to time, the larger newspapers included a weekly insert section that was smaller and portable. These inserts would include longer stories, in-depth interviews, and of course, photographs. It was in these inserts that the first magazines were born.

When newspapers began, it was simply a way of communicating news. (Read the full post about ‘A Brief History of Magazines Posted By : Craig Elliott’…)

Uncovering Myths about Angels: How Your Favorite Figurines Came to Be Posted By : Georgia Templeton

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Angel figurines are popular items. Collectors fill their homes with shelves of ceramic and wooden angels, pictures are hung over the doorways that read, “This house is protected by Angels!” and key chains are given as gifts that plead, “Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly!” The angel craze is growing, but every student of the Bible is aware that those angelic images of beautiful, peaceful women in flowing robes with snowy-white wings, are not quite true to life.

There are many myths about angels that have been accepted as truths in the world today.

1. Angels are not people who have died. Angels are created beings, just like us. (Read the full post about ‘Uncovering Myths about Angels: How Your Favorite Figurines Came to Be Posted By : Georgia Templeton’…)

The Real Value Behind Celebrity Videos Posted By : Ajeet Khurana

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Wherever you look, the one thing that stares in your face is technology. That coupled with the wired connectivity that has caused us to have umbilical linkage with each other has made the world a small place indeed. The website YouTube is one site that is dedicated solely to the use of personal videos that are viewed for recreational purposes only. This is a site where you can find a video on just about any topic that you want. What are the most popular videos on YouTube? Those that deal with celebrity life and gossip will always be the videos scoring the biggest hits.

Is our existence so devoid of meaning that we must look at the life of celebrities to find meaning? (Read the full post about ‘The Real Value Behind Celebrity Videos Posted By : Ajeet Khurana’…)

Is There Such A Thing As A Popular Quiz? Posted By : Brian Fong

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Q. My students have asked me for a popular quiz. Can you recommend one?

A. The answer to that question depends upon what your students mean when they say “popular”.

Do they mean a quiz that can tell them if they are “popular”, or do they mean a quiz that is popular because everyone likes taking it?

Hmm, maybe I can craft one answer that covers both options. You see, a popular quiz, also know as a popularity quiz, it very popular in itself. Starting at about third grade the concept of being “popular” takes root and children begin to seek the “status” that being popular seems to offer to them. It isn’t until much, much later in life that they learn there are more important things than being popular. Chief among the more desirable traits are being noble, honest, truth worthy, and caring. However, for now, let’s focus on popular.

A popular quiz purports to measure personality traits that make someone popular. It measures such earth-shaking issues as:

How many parties have you been invited to? How many times a day does someone compliment your clothes? Home many boys (girls) want to be your crush? Do people imitate the “cute” things that you say? Are you always picked first to be on a team?

Supposedly these questions measure your popularity. The sad thing is that many kids believe that these issues are important and either walk away devastated because they are not popular, or have an inflated opinion of themselves because they “passed” the popular quiz.

Let me go on record and state that a popular quiz should be clearly labeled: “For entertainment purposes only”. There should be a sub label that says: “If taking this test makes you think that being popular is important then your lights are on but nobody’s home”.

If your students want a popular quiz, and their intent is to measure their popularity, I would tell them that they have better things to measure in their life. Recommend an honesty quiz, or a help your neighbor quiz, or a what’s wrong with drugs quiz. While these may not qualify as a popular quiz, you’ll be doing your students a much bigger favor by holding up the mirror of reality to their face than you will by having anything to do with administering a popular quiz.

Why Does It Sound Better ?
They don’t get along and their mind’s seem so far apart. You write a book with your friends, but why not a better one with your enemies very often? Even your enemies can be at peace with you, and especially if you offer the go together of talent’s respect of heart. How to write a book with your so called enemy and offer a best seller like never before perhaps! How can we help stop this war some-what? Each person should come to love one another in talent, action and respect with grace perhaps of deed, on both so called sides. Judgements can be revived-up and out into blessings best.
