M.I Multiple Intelligences


Diamante Poem ♦


Politically Correct

There is a new way to say prostitutes and it's "sex workers", a new way to say that people are fat, "horizontally challenged" and bald "hair disadvantaged". All these terms are used thanks to the "THE OFFICIAL POLITICALLY CORRECT DICTIONARY AND HANDBOOK", political correctness (adjectivally, politically correct, commonly abbreviated to PC) is a pejorative term used to condemn language, actions, or policies as calculated to offend or upset any group of people in society. The term had only scattered usage prior to the 1990's, usually as an ironic self-description, but entered mainstream usage in the United States when conservative author Dinesh D'Souza used it to condemn to what he saw as left-wing efforts to advance multiculturalism through language, affirmative action, opposition to hate speech, and changes to the content of school curriculums. The term came to be commonly used in the United Kingdom around the same period.
Scholars on the political left have said that conservatives and right-wing libertarians such as D'Souza pushed the term in order to divert attention from more substantive matters of discrimination and as part of a broader culture war against liberalism; they have also said that conservatives have their own forms of political correctness, which is generally ignored.

Other terms of the political correctness are:
midget = vertically challenged 
fat = horizontally challenged 
perverted = sexually dysfunctional 
alive = temporarily metabolically abled 
Negro = African American 
Indian = Native American 
Anyone from Central America, South America, or the Carribean = Hispanic 
body odor = nondiscretionary fragrance 
dishonese = ethically disoriented 
gay = different 
wrong = differently logical 
dead = living impaired 
pregnant = parasitically opressed 
fired = laid off 
poor = financially inept 
homeless = residentially flexible 
tall = person of height, garbage-man = sanitation engineer,  blind = visually challenged              Taken from here (Urban dictionay)

Chicken Noodle Soup

500ml chicken stock                               250g fresh noodles
1 chiken brest                                           50g sugar-snaps peas
1 tablespoon of soy sauce                         50g fine beans
30g of baby corn

Heat the chicken stock in a saucepan. In a frying pan, cook the strips of chicken without any oil until they have lost their rawness, giving them a stir frequently, and then add the soy sauce to the hot pan of chicken, letting it bubble down a little before tipping the contents of the frying pan into the saucepan of hot stock. Bring the frying pan to the boil and add the baby corn, noodles, sugar-snaps and fine beans cut in half. Let the pan come back up to the boiling point and let it cook for a minute or so, so that the noodles are warmed through and the vegetables tender but still crisp.

My favorite TV series

TEEN WOLF

Teen Wolf is an American television series developed by Jeff Davis for MTV. It is loosely based on the 1985 film of the same name, and stars Tyler Posey as a teenager named Scott, who is bitten by a werewolf and must cope with how it affects his life and the lives of those closest to him.

Plot

The series revolves around social outcast Scott McCall, a high school student living in the town of Beacon Hills. Scott's life drastically changes when he
is bitten by a werewolf, becoming one himself. He must henceforth learn to balance his problematic new identity with his day-to-day teenage life. The following characters are instrumental to his struggle: Stiles, his human best friend; Allison, his first love interest who comes from a family of werewolf hunters; Lydia, a banshee and Allison's best friend; and Derek, a mysterious werewolf with a dark past. Along the way, he encounters characters who shape him into a stronger werewolf and better person: Jackson, a bully from his high school; Malia, a were-coyote and Derek's cousin; Kira, a Japanese fox spirit and Scott's second love interest; and Liam, Scott's beta and the first human he bites. Throughout the series, he strives to keep his loved ones safe while maintaining normal relationships with them.
I love Teen wolf, I don't study because of this show. It is very persuasive, it has action, love, drama and it's funny too.

My favorite character is Stiles Stilinski, played by Dylan O'Brien, he is the funniest character on the series, he's sarcastic, charming and i love everything about him ♥.


This is the promo for the 5° season:


Speakeasy

My article talks about speakeasy, secret bars that were opened during the prohibition era which lasted from 1920 to 1933 when alcohol was illegal. Normally these bars are very small barely notables because they have no big sign, or a big window they have a secret entrance like a password or you have to go though other shops. These places are really nice because there is space for limited people like 30 or 50, so it's really calm and quit and perfect for dates or hanging out with a couple of friends. I would really like to go in one of these bars because quiet and peaceful is my thing.
