South African Mercenaries

South africa is trying to keep the fact that there are thousands of mercenaries that are South African trained. Most of these men were trained before apartheid ended. The training they received was of the best training in the world. When apartheid ended they were relieved of their duties. Most of them had no other skills and went into the private sector of war. To this day the South African Mercenaries are some of the best in the world. they offer their services to the highest bidder. They are some of the biggest problems in wars today. The americans in Iraq have experienced some problems with them. They are best private soldiers in the world.

new politics in south africa

South africa is coming into a new era of politics. The ANC was the leading party in South Africa for many years, about 13. And the ANC was recently over thrown by a new party called the SANC. The ANC's presidential candidate was unacceptable in many many ways. so every politician that didnt want to have any part of the ANC anymore left and went to the SANC. And the amount of peoplel that left was HUGE like about 60% of the ANC is now in the SANC. now if the SANC wins the next elections they will take over the country and South Africa will no longer be a communist country it will be a truly democratic country. It is a communist country because the ANC is made up of 2 parties the communist party and the peoples party and they together are called the ANC. But now South africa will probably be under new management because the SANC is made up of all the most influential ANC members.

Obama president!!

yeah sure obama is the better of the 2 choices but i still think neither of them should have wont the election they were both unsutible for the job. Obama would have been my choice too but i think that if they had hilary clinton running she would have made a much better president. she seems to have more experince then Obama. She also had better plans than John mc cain. but i am happy that this time america chose the lesser of the 2 evils. At least this time they made a choice to help their country rather than destroy it further. now we can all just pray that Obama doe a good job of getting America out of the crapper.

energy bar

The energy bar we made was ok tasted very good. But i think that we could have done better it was too soggy and we didnt have all of our ingredients when we made the bar. We are hoping that we can change the ingredient that keeps the bar together since it didn't work the first time we tried it. originally it was supposed to be Rice Krispies and marshmallows but we dint have the ingredients on the day we made it so instead we used musely instead of Rice Krispies. It didn't go as planned it was very soggy. Next time we make the bar we will take out any grains and instead we will use gelatin to hold it together. Thus making the bar a kind of jelly bar cover in chocolate. While making the bar i think we work well as a group i think we all understand each other well. We all have a good sense of what is going on and how we will achieve that.

taiwanese foods

taiwanese food is in many ways disgusting but yet at the same time it is delicious. think that most of the taiwanese food i will never try for myself its just too disgusting. The things i will probably never eat is chicken balls due to the fact that it was described to be creamy and milky. I would like to try the oyster omelette it seems to be a great tasting dish and it is a taiwanese favorite. i must admit that i like korean and japanese food much more than taiwanese food due to the fact that it is not as bizarre as taiwanese foods.  

what are the rules for all living things???

Well i think the rules for all living things are as follows.

Number one: All living things must be made of biological matter eg: skin.

Number two: All living things must be able to reproduce.

Number three: All living things must be able to heal themselves on some level.

Number four: All living things must be able to grow in some way.

Number five: All living things must have or be cells of some kind.

I believe that without these five basic rules something can not be classified as "living".
