For children, the ability of using the computer is becoming fundamental in nowadays, so learning to type is must for them. But most children get bored with any repetitious task and give up or whine and even want to stop, parents or teachers always feel nothing else bother them more than when children face the keyboard and have absolutely no idea where the keys are or how they go about typing. They just "play" with the keyboard. This is a waste of time for them and, worse, children get into the bad habit of typing with two fingers. So parents or teachers have to face how to solve this problem.
As parents and teachers know, whether children want to learn a thing or not largely depends on whether they are attracted by it. Based on this, the typing tutor must be easy-to-use, fun colorful and appealing to children. Once children love and develop interest in it, they will learn to type on their own initiative. Generally, children naturally like to play games, because when playing games, they are always attracted by the colorful interface and pretty music in the games, and above all, they're able to learn something quickly under no pressure. Apparently, the problem for children having no interest in learning to type is solved, they can learn to type when playing games.
There are many advantages of using typing games for typing: First, Games are a welcome break from the usual routine of the typing practice, thus help children learn typing more easily. Second, Typing requires a great deal of effort. Games help children to make and sustain the effort of learning. Third, Games are highly motivating since they are amusing and at the same time challenging.
There are lots of interesting typing games which also help to make typing fun. GS Typing Tutor is just one. The aim of this program is to make typing fun whilst increasing accuracy and speed. The feature-rich typing software supports 5 typing games: Rats in the garden, attacks of the alien, help, balloon, and card. The typing games each include 23 basic typing lessons. Taking the basic lessons, children can learn to type from the home row keys to other basic keys. The basic exercises also help them to be familiar with the keyboard layout step-by-step.
Each game is easy-to-use, fun colorful and appealing to children:
1: Rats in the garden Children mission is to eliminate the rats in the garden. Then they should type the letter before the rats escape. If children type the wrong letter or type slowly, the rats will escape under their nose. So they have to type correctly and fast in case the rats escape. The game is fun!
2: Attacks of the alien Children mission is to stop the alien fleets to attack the earth. So they must type letters before the alien fleets through the galaxy into the earth. By playing the game, children type the letters, and can be familiar with the keys. With children accelerating the typing speed, the alien fleets fly rapidly, so they have to type quickly in case the earth is attacked by the alien fleets.
3: Help! A bad man has held a boy under duress. So children must help the soldier to rescue the boy by typing the letter. If their typing speed is slow, the boy's life is under danger. Once children succeed to rescue the boy, the boy will laugh loudly for thanking.
4: Balloon Falling Letters are ruining the balloons. Save the balloons by typing the letters before the balloons land on the ground. Lots of fun! The more children type the more score they get.
5: Card The letters are arranged random based on the keys children choose. Type the letters on the card. This will help them to know well the basic keys.
With playing typing games, the typing program helps children easy master a skill needed in today's computer oriented world. Download it at www.typingstar.com

Reading Faster Makes you Happy!
The headline in Science Daily read, “How Manic Thinking Makes us Happy.”
Dr. Emily Pronin of Princeton, and Daniel Wegner of Harvard, are well documented researchers. The article is published in the respected journal of the Association for Psychological Science, in the September, 2006 issue.
The authors conclude: when people are made to Think Quicker, they report feeling happier, their mood improves, they become more creative, more powerful and self-confident.
We call it Speed Reading, see what you think.
The scientists made half the participants read a series of statements twice-as-fast as normal, and the other half twice-as-slow as their ordinary reading. Next, they had the folks in the experiment read depressing text like, I want to go to sleep and never wake up, and the other half read positive-statements, including, Wow, I feel great.
Conclusions: regardless of textual content, depressing or elating, if you intentionally read twice-as-fast as normal, you change your emotions and your experiences. You get an immediate dose of mental energy, happiness, and feel self-assured in what you are doing.
Manic
The word is associated with psychiatric disorder, and includes excessive physical activity, impulsive behavior, and rapidly changing ideas. Manic is a synonym for frenzied, agitated, freaky and nutzy-fagin.
Manic-Depression and Bipolar Disorder are mental states of folks with Racing-Thoughts. Mentally healthy people also experience Manic thinking when they are In-The-Flow, In-The-Zone, and enjoying Peak-Experiences of creativity.
Have you ever engaged in group brainstorming and really gave it your creative heart-and-soul? Your consciousness blocks out everything in your environment except solving the problem in front of you. You become a mono-maniac and often discover the most brilliant genius-like ideas of your life. You cannot be distracted from your goal.
According to Connie Strong and Terrance Ketter, M.D. of Stanford University Medical Center, your emotional broadband expands to elicit creativity and imagination.
How?
You know all about warming-up in sports, you have seen it all your life. The Yankee batter starts swinging three-bats to get his reflexes moving; Tiger Jones works out on the putting-range for two hours before the match. Tennis, basketball and hockey, all require warming-up before you get into the Zone, the Flow and experience a Peak Performance.
Do you ever think of warming up before taking an exam, reading a textbook, or taking notes at a lecture?
If you intentionally read some paragraphs aloud, twice as fast as your normal reading speed, you are warming up the neural networks of your brain. It erases feeling tired, panicked, and distressed about your results.
What if you cannot find a place to read aloud without appearing demented? Silently (subvocalize), the page or two as a warm up exercise. In two-minutes, you will be in-the-Zone, and ready to operate at your optimal level.
Science
You got a Sympathetic Nervous System that runs our Fight-or-Flight survival mechanism, also known as Stress and Distress. It is activated by adrenaline (epinephrine), and cortisol, and gets our bodies ready to fight or run.
Our Parasympathetic Nervous System is based on relaxation, and produces the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which is directly related to learning and memory. Which do you need before an exam, interview or presentation?
Seyle
Dr. Hans Seyle wrote 32 books and 1,500 articles on Stress while at the University of Montreal. His research stood for stress destroying the cells of our immune systems, leading to heart disease, cancer and stroke. In his book, The Stress of Life, he said, Stress is not even necessarily bad for you; it is also the juice of life, for any emotion, any activity causes stress.
He makes his case against Distress, which is chronic (continuing), and disease-causing. He suggests that Eustress is a good form of stress, a pleasant or curative stress. According to Seyle, life is largely a process of adaptation to circumstances in which we exist. We can even use stress as a positive adaptation to life. Eustress is the High you get just before you do your best in any experience. Actors on Broadway or Hollywood, students ready for their exam, and your excitement prior to giving your presentation, are forms of Eustress.
Speed Reading
Most people think of speed reading as tripling your reading speed and doubling your memory. It is reading and remembering three books, articles and reports in the time others can hardly finish even one. But it is more. It is changing your mood from anxiety and panic, to expecting success and pleasure. It releases your creativity and imagination, makes you feel happier and trust in the unfolding.
Speed reading raises you mental and physical energy levels for greater comprehension and focus, in additional to initiating Eustress, the excitement of coming success.
Do you ever want to change your mood and have two-minutes to do it? Ever go for an interview and feel angst, dread and fear?
Get a little manic thinking under your belt and you will ace your experience. One form of manic-thinking is Eustress, and it often produces success in the face of imminent failure.
The secret of Stressbusting is diaphragmatic breathing for increase oxygenation and release of carbon dioxide and toxins. You can voluntarily change the pictures on the movie-screen of your mind to a positive winning mood, one that optimizes your knowledge and skills. These strategies take just two-minutes. Are you up for it?

The Biggest Bet on Radio
Here is a good promotion if you are with a station that is not got a glamorous football club on its doorstep.
We teach this one at our Radio School and the students on our radio courses really like it.
Let’s suppose that your station’s in Townsville, a provincial place with a lowly professional football club. On a Saturday afternoon, you are in a fix because covering Townsville United is not what listeners want. Arsenal, Manchester United and others are much more exciting but you don’t have the resources or the access to cover their games properly.
So, why not approach your biggest and best local football club a little differently? Here is an idea that will give your presenters the chance to talk local football without boring 75% of listeners. It will provide your station with content that is different and more likely to engage a wider audience. It lasts the whole season. It may mean your station can do something great for the community. And, one last thing: at worst, it’s free.
It is called The Biggest Bet. You may prefer another name.
It works like this. Imagine Townsville United has seen better days: it is now in the lower reaches of Division Two and doesn’t look like making a sustained recovery! Locals feel warm about it but have better things to do than go to games. So - pre-season, this is what you do:
Frist, engage your biggest local bookie. Organise a series of bets for the end of the season: where Townsville will finish in the league? The top scorer? Goals for? Goals against? Etc etc. Some more unusual wagers to add a little fun perhaps – e.g. when will the manager be sacked?
Then, work out with how much of investment would be required to stand a realistic chance of wining upwards of, say, £10,000 at the end of the season
Engage a small number of local charities (say 5) that would like to receive an equal part of the winnings, if there are any.
Get their written approval
Attract a sponsor to underwrite the bets - as a minimum. You may even want to make a small administrative charge. Think about the sales benefits: - a season-long presence; unusual, entertaining and talked-about content; doing something for the community etc.
Finally, place the bets pre-season. Every game gives your presenters the chance to talk about the bets and the game – are we nearer or further from winning? - it’s a fun way to cover the game; it gives radio presenters the chance to bond with the area by mentioning local charities; and it gives the sponsor plenty of good, positive profile
At the end of the season, if you lose the bets – make sure the team takes the blame! If you win, it’s win-win! The charities are happy. The presenters are happy! The sponsor is happy. The bookie may be unhappy!

Could a man eat grass like cattle in Bible and Quran?
The donkey is mentioned in the Bible 142 times and in the Quran four times, i.e., the Bible cites the donkey 35 times more than the Quran does.
Furthermore, the total words of the Bible are 788,280 while the total words of the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible has the likely of more than 10 times than the Quran word-wise to talk about The donkey. In addition, the Bible has the prospective of more than 35 times than the Quran topic-wise to utter about the donkey.
The Donkey in the Bible:
Kill every living. Do not spare any:
• They destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, donkeys, etc…
• Go and totally destroy everything. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, donkeys, etc...
• Kill men and women, children and infants, and donkeys, etc…
Joshua 6:21
"They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys."
1 Samuel 15:3
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "
1 Samuel 22:19
"He also put to the sword Nob, the town of the priests, with its men and women, its children and infants, and its cattle, donkeys and sheep."
1 Samuel 27:9
"Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish".
The Bible says that "Ishmael" will be a wild donkey of a man and sets on the root of Arabs-Jews conflict and intolerance.
Genesis 16:12
"He (Ishmael) will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers."
One may think about why Moses wrote in Genesis that His Uncle "Ishmael" will be a wild donkey of a man? Is not it a race-discrimination?
Either Redeem or Kill the firstborn donkey.
One has to redeem every firstborn donkey with a lamb; but if he does not, he has to break its neck. Either way, there should be blood of the lamb or the donkey!
Exodus 13:13
"Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck."
Exodus 34:20
"Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck."
And there is also a prophecy about the ox and donkey:
Deuteronomy 28:31
"Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them."
Do not "covet" your neighbor's wife or donkey.
Exodus 20:17
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Deuteronomy 5:21
"You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house or land, his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
The Donkey and the Sabbath:
You and your Donkey have to keep the Sabbath.
Exodus 23:12
"Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be refreshed."
Deuteronomy 5:14
"but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do."
How do you deal with the donkey, and the fools? With a halter and a rod
Proverbs 26:3
"A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!"
The donkey knows his owner's manger, but "Israel" does not know
Isaiah 1:3
"The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand."
The donkeys will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel.
Isaiah 30:24
"The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel."
The policy of burial of a donkey
How do you burry your donkey? Drag away and throw outside.
Jeremiah 22:19
"He will have the burial of a donkey— dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem."
Wow!
The Egyptian's genitals are like those of donkeys and their emission (semen) is like that of horses.
Being an Egyptian, I do not know if I should be proud or insulted because of this anatomical and biological verse!
Ezekiel 23:20
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."
This following verse talks about a man who will eat grass like cattle.
However, the man's stomach is not like that of cattle.
Man can not utilize and metabolize grass
Daniel 5:21
"He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he wishes."
Believe it or Not!
1) Samson killed a thousand men with a jawbone of a donkey!
Judges 15:15
"Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men."
Judges 15:16
"Then Samson said, "With a donkey's jawbone I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men."
2) A donkey spoke with a man's voice!
2Peter 2:16
"But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness".
The Donkey in the Quran:
The story of how Allah made revival of a dead man and donkey.
Surah 2:259
"Or the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen down upon its roofs and fallen into utter ruin, he exclaimed saying: how shall Allah give this township life after its death? So Allah made him die for a hundred years, and then brought him back to life. He said: how long hast thou tarried? (the man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which - years have not passed over it -and have not rotted! and look at thy donkey: and that we may make of thee a sign unto the people, look further at the bones, how we bring them together and clothe them with flesh." when this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things (is able to do all things)."
This story is not mentioned in the Bible.
This story gave a proof to the Jews who denied the revival after death and the afterlife.
The story talks about of preservation of foods for 100 years!
Those who claim they worship Allah but not follow His Law are like donkeys that carry books and not understand what they carry.
Surah 62:5
"The likeness of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) mosaic law (Torah), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of the donkey which carries books (but understands them not). evil is the likeness of the people who falsify the signs of Allah (reject the communications of Allah): and Allah guides not the unjust people who do wrong."
This verse is general for any man not only for the Jews.
One can say that:
The likeness of Christians who were charged with the Gospel but who subsequently failed in is as the likeness of the donkey which carries books; and, the likeness of Muslims who were charged with the Quran but who subsequently failed in is as the likeness of the donkey which carries books.
The harshest of all voices is the voice of the donkeys.
Surah 31:19
"And pursue the right course in your going about and lower your voice; surely the harshest of all voices is the voice of the donkeys."
This verse gives two important connotations one is social and the other is scientific.
The social one is to be well-mannered when you pursue your right and to talk to the others in a civil and polite way not with a harsh voice.
The scientific meaning needs some acoustic researches to categorize the voices of the creatures and then we will grant the Quranic fact that the harshest of all voices is that of the donkeys.
Allah Creates what you do not know:
Surah 16:8
"And (HE Has Created) horses and mules and donkeys that you might ride upon them and as an ornament; and HE Creates what you do not know."
This prospective scientific law is applicable and valid for any time.
The Arabs at the time of revelation of the Quran had no idea about most of the creatures. Nevertheless, we also up till now have no idea about many of Allah's creatures. If we follow the everyday discovery of a new virus, bacteria, fungus, etc. we then should acknowledge this prospective Quranic scientific law that is applicable for any time.
Back to our main issue; this is my question to you smart readers: Is the Quran quoted from the Bible? And which book preceded the sciences? The book which says: Go and totally destroy everything, either Redeem or Kill the firstborn donkey, the Egyptian's genitals are like those of donkeys, Samson killed a thousand men with a jawbone of a donkey, a donkey spoke with a man's voice etc. or the book which put a prospective scientific law by saying: " Allah Creates what we do not know".
Furthermore, the total words of the Bible are 788,280 while the total words of the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible has the likely of more than 10 times than the Quran word-wise to talk about The donkey. In addition, the Bible has the prospective of more than 35 times than the Quran topic-wise to utter about the donkey.
The Donkey in the Bible:
Kill every living. Do not spare any:
• They destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, donkeys, etc…
• Go and totally destroy everything. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, donkeys, etc...
• Kill men and women, children and infants, and donkeys, etc…
Joshua 6:21
"They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys."
1 Samuel 15:3
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' "
1 Samuel 22:19
"He also put to the sword Nob, the town of the priests, with its men and women, its children and infants, and its cattle, donkeys and sheep."
1 Samuel 27:9
"Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish".
The Bible says that "Ishmael" will be a wild donkey of a man and sets on the root of Arabs-Jews conflict and intolerance.
Genesis 16:12
"He (Ishmael) will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers."

Exodus 13:13
"Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck."
Exodus 34:20
"Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck."
And there is also a prophecy about the ox and donkey:
Deuteronomy 28:31
"Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them."
Do not "covet" your neighbor's wife or donkey.
Exodus 20:17
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Deuteronomy 5:21
"You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house or land, his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
The Donkey and the Sabbath:
You and your Donkey have to keep the Sabbath.
Exodus 23:12
"Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be refreshed."
Deuteronomy 5:14
"but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor the alien within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest, as you do."
How do you deal with the donkey, and the fools? With a halter and a rod
Proverbs 26:3
"A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!"
The donkey knows his owner's manger, but "Israel" does not know
Isaiah 1:3
"The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand."
The donkeys will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel.
Isaiah 30:24
"The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel."
The policy of burial of a donkey
How do you burry your donkey? Drag away and throw outside.
Jeremiah 22:19
"He will have the burial of a donkey— dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem."
Wow!
The Egyptian's genitals are like those of donkeys and their emission (semen) is like that of horses.
Being an Egyptian, I do not know if I should be proud or insulted because of this anatomical and biological verse!
Ezekiel 23:20
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."
This following verse talks about a man who will eat grass like cattle.
However, the man's stomach is not like that of cattle.
Man can not utilize and metabolize grass
Daniel 5:21
"He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he wishes."
Believe it or Not!
1) Samson killed a thousand men with a jawbone of a donkey!
Judges 15:15
"Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men."
Judges 15:16
"Then Samson said, "With a donkey's jawbone I have made donkeys of them. With a donkey's jawbone I have killed a thousand men."
2) A donkey spoke with a man's voice!
2Peter 2:16
"But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness".
The Donkey in the Quran:
The story of how Allah made revival of a dead man and donkey.
Surah 2:259
"Or the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen down upon its roofs and fallen into utter ruin, he exclaimed saying: how shall Allah give this township life after its death? So Allah made him die for a hundred years, and then brought him back to life. He said: how long hast thou tarried? (the man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which - years have not passed over it -and have not rotted! and look at thy donkey: and that we may make of thee a sign unto the people, look further at the bones, how we bring them together and clothe them with flesh." when this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things (is able to do all things)."
This story is not mentioned in the Bible.
This story gave a proof to the Jews who denied the revival after death and the afterlife.
The story talks about of preservation of foods for 100 years!
Those who claim they worship Allah but not follow His Law are like donkeys that carry books and not understand what they carry.
Surah 62:5
"The likeness of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) mosaic law (Torah), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of the donkey which carries books (but understands them not). evil is the likeness of the people who falsify the signs of Allah (reject the communications of Allah): and Allah guides not the unjust people who do wrong."
This verse is general for any man not only for the Jews.
One can say that:
The likeness of Christians who were charged with the Gospel but who subsequently failed in is as the likeness of the donkey which carries books; and, the likeness of Muslims who were charged with the Quran but who subsequently failed in is as the likeness of the donkey which carries books.
The harshest of all voices is the voice of the donkeys.
Surah 31:19
"And pursue the right course in your going about and lower your voice; surely the harshest of all voices is the voice of the donkeys."
This verse gives two important connotations one is social and the other is scientific.
The social one is to be well-mannered when you pursue your right and to talk to the others in a civil and polite way not with a harsh voice.
The scientific meaning needs some acoustic researches to categorize the voices of the creatures and then we will grant the Quranic fact that the harshest of all voices is that of the donkeys.
Allah Creates what you do not know:
Surah 16:8
"And (HE Has Created) horses and mules and donkeys that you might ride upon them and as an ornament; and HE Creates what you do not know."
This prospective scientific law is applicable and valid for any time.
The Arabs at the time of revelation of the Quran had no idea about most of the creatures. Nevertheless, we also up till now have no idea about many of Allah's creatures. If we follow the everyday discovery of a new virus, bacteria, fungus, etc. we then should acknowledge this prospective Quranic scientific law that is applicable for any time.
Back to our main issue; this is my question to you smart readers: Is the Quran quoted from the Bible? And which book preceded the sciences? The book which says: Go and totally destroy everything, either Redeem or Kill the firstborn donkey, the Egyptian's genitals are like those of donkeys, Samson killed a thousand men with a jawbone of a donkey, a donkey spoke with a man's voice etc. or the book which put a prospective scientific law by saying: " Allah Creates what we do not know".
College Admission Essay Samples

These papers are illustrations of what these services can provide and there is a price for obtaining each of these papers, depending on the subject or category or the level/academic standing of the receiving institution.

The goal of any student is to gain an admission into college, successfully complete the curriculum and have something reasonable in the form of future employment.

But when this practice starts, it continues and it is eventually perfected in other settings beyond college.

College Admission Essay Format
College admission essay format is a design to make your essay appear impressive and professional. There are some guidelines that have been set by academic authorities to make your essay have an ideal presentation. These guidelines must be followed because they will be evaluated as part of the paper.
Formatting an admission paper begins with a good header. Your admission paper will require a title page. The titled page should contain on separated lines, centered and double spaced, the title of the paper and the writer’s name. The instructor’s name and the course name are left out since this is not a work for class presentation. Most admission papers are not necessary to be started using outlines. But if you use an outline to commence the paper, the outline should be typed on the centre of the page one inch from the top and double-space the outline to fit the first line of the text. Take note that the outline should appear in short sentence form rather than in the shorter topic form. It is a skeleton of the admission paper.
Number all pages of your paper. If you use the MLA format, number all pages after the title page in the upper right hand corner, half an inch from the top. The outline pages should be number with small Roman numerals. Number the text pages with Arabic in the upper right hand corner. Begin the text one inch from the top and leave one inch margin at the bottom and sides of the paper.
You will normally be given word or page limits. Respect these limits even if you think you have something very important to write about. If you go beyond these limits, the rest of the work will be discarded.
If you are not given a particular font style, use the clear formatting. This will require a twelve point font size using times new roman.
The paper must have an introduction, a body and a conclusion. There will be so many admission essays to be viewed by instructors and if your paper fails to meet these standards, they will be nervous and may end up giving poor grades or even shoving your paper aside. Nothing should be taken with delight because there is no room for making corrections. The only available correction is that you will not be admitted into that particular college.
The requirement of typing out your paper should not be repeated. Almost all admission essays are typed out. This will allow for an easy reading of your essay. Most teachers are so obsessed about the handwritings of students. Anything boring or not visible will receive little or no attention. Take note that at times, you may even find it difficult to read what you have written.
College admission essay format has a lot of ins and outs to cater for. In researching and writing this paper, you will not only draw inspirations from library research techniques, but also ask from your teachers or get help from parents. There are different styles such as the MLA, APA, and CBE etc. It is of the student’s interest to have an insight into all these styles of writing and know what path his or her curriculum takes.

College Essay Editing
College essay editing is getting the right words fit into your essay. Editing an essay does not come at the end of the paper. It should come at any point that you write down a sentence. There are three motives behind editing a college script. You edit to ensure that the script has a purpose and direction; you ensure that the script has been well structured and you edit to make the work appealing to your audience.
Editing for a purpose means interpreting that your writing really accomplishes whatever your intentions are. When you finish your essay, the purpose might have shifted from its original intention to an entirely new direction. This is particularly the case of complex and indirect topics or for other topics that start without a clear direction. When this occurs, the following questions will be there to guide you: what exactly do you want to say? Is the purpose of your paper clearly stated in your essay? Are there enough hints that any reader can use to determine this? Has the paper said all that had to be said and do all the paragraphs have the same purpose? Do you still believe in the things you have written? Is there enough supportive evidence to back up what you have raised in the paper? Are your evidence convincing? Genuine answers to these questions are the cornerstone to a successful editing.
When you edit for structure, you make sure that the order of your ideas and the arrangement of materials is as effective as possible. Take note that in a well structured essay, each part should fulfill a clear function. Study the opening and closing paragraphs to ensure that they are appropriate, to the point and appealing. Have a reason for putting them in the order that you choose. Consider the following questions to take you through: does the introduction tells of the whole paper; does it grabs the reader’s attention and hint at what is to follow? Does they body of the work has all that has been promised in the opening? Is there a topic sentence in each paragraph? Is every paragraph well connected to each other? Will any paragraph make more sense if left out or if rewritten? Does the conclusion reflect the body of the work?
College essay editing ends with the ultimate consideration of the audience. The essay will be successful only if it succeeds with a particular audience. Take the time to consider the temperaments of your readers. Put yourself in the position of the reader. Has the essay told them what they will want to know from what they already know? Are there passages where the reader might find boring, could these passages be rewritten or thrown out? Will the reader feel they have not been given what was promised in the introduction? Have you anticipated all reasonable questions that the reader might ask? Have you used any technical language that the reader might not be able to understand? Have you used any sexist or offensive language? Will the reader be convinced that you have told them something worth knowing? Once you provide a genuine answer to all the above questions, you would have gotten the right words for any essay paper.
