Epic and Anime Cosplay

Imagen
    El cosplay ( コスプレ , kosupure ? ) , contracción de costume play , es un tipo de moda representativa, donde los participantes usan disfraces, accesorios y trajes que representan un sujeto específico o una idea. Los cosplayers a menudo interactúan para crear una subcultura centrada en el juego de roles. Una definición más amplia del término "cosplay" aplica a cualquier uso de disfraz de juegos roles fuera del escenario, independientemente de su contexto cultural. Las fuentes favoritas para esto incluyen cómics, anime, manga y videojuegos. El cosplay tiene un enfoque cultural específico dedicado a la representación realista de una idea o un personaje propio de la ficción; puede tener distintas variantes según la intención y el contexto, normalmente haciendo una representación física y dramática de un personaje. Entre sus variantes se encuentran notablemente: la representación de personajes antropomorfos, la adaptación antropomorfa de personajes zoomorfos, el cross-dre

Sometimes I teach people with a promising future sometimes I teach people doomed with no future because they have chosen not to learn anything or not behave properly. They have chosen the road to hell. Parents don´t care and our community doesn´t worry about them while they are at school. When they are over 18 then there are schools for adults. Spain is a strange country where students take a course/ grade and repeat and repeat without a good reason. Some of those students blame  the teachers  and accused them of being bad teachers or bad entertainers because they get bored during lessons but in their same classes the hard-working students thrive and get "top marks" and distinctions so teachers cannot be that "bad". Being at school longer than necessary by "repeating" for those who don´t study, don´t do homework, don´t respect their classmates, don´t respect their teachers´work because they are not working hard enough though they

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify Can you help me, occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late

Idioms - BBC Learning English (The Teacher)

Imagen
HEAD IDIOMS EYE IDIOMS FOOT IDIOMS ARM IDIOMS An idiom is a common word or phrase with a culturally understood meaning that differs from what its composite words' denotations would suggest. For example, an English speaker would understand the phrase " kick the bucket " to mean "to die"  – as well as to actually kick a bucket. Furthermore, they would understand when each meaning is being used in context. An idiom is not to be confused with other figures of speech such as a metaphor, which invokes an image by use of implicit comparisons ( e.g. , "the man of steel" ); a simile, which invokes an image by use of explicit comparisons ( e.g. , "faster than a speeding bullet" ); and hyperbole, which exaggerates an image beyond truthfulness ( e.g. , like "missed by a mile" ). Idioms are also not to be confused with proverbs, which are simple sayings that express a truth based on common sense or practical experience.

English measures (aka as Imperial measures) and Metric measures.

Measurements are ways that we tell others how much of an item we have. There are two systems of measuring things—English and Metric. English measurements are used  in the United States and UK, while metric measurements are used in nearly every other country. Measurements are used to give number values to distance (length, width, and height), weight, time, volume (liquid measurements), and temperature.         Common English Measures Distance Inches (in) 12 in = 1 ft Feet (ft) 3 ft = 1 yd Yards (yd) 1760 yd = 1 mi Miles (mi) 1 mi = 5280 ft Weight Ounces (oz) 16 oz = 1 lb Pounds (lb) 2000 lb = 1 t Tons (t) 1 t

Through The Fire And The Flames

"Through The Fire And The Flames" On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as we go In fire and pain, and once again we know So now we fly ever free We're free before the thunderstorm On towards the wilderness our quest carries on Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight Deep inside our hearts and all our souls [Chorus:] So far away we wait for the day For the lives all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames we carry on As the red day is dawning And the lightning cracks t
