The fine art of C.V. Writing

The art of C.V. Writing

Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: 'Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer 6 times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted & hanged in 1889.'

Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments.

Hillary's staff sent back the following biographical sketch.

Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets & intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1885, he devoted several years of his life to service at a govt facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887 he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889 Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honour, when the platform on which he was standing collapsed.'

That is how to write your C.V.

No mass production for Genpets

I want to thank Mr. Muscati, for posting his comment about Genpets in my previous article ‘Bio-Genica against God,’ which pointed out that Genpets are not real.

Genpets are master piece created by Adam Brandejs, a Canadian Artist. He has mentioned in his website Brandejs.ca about Genpets:

• What?
• Where?
• Why?
• How?

And here are other posts about the same topic:

• Genpets… Nature NOT Redefined
• The message of the Genpets

And I don’t believe I fell in the trap.

Gumus (Noor)

Gumus is a Turkish drama series which broadcasted as ‘Noor’ in the Arab world by Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC). It is aired MBC 4, the free to air channel has created a series of stress and domestic violence as well as social tension.

Several divorces cases happened as most women are obsessed with the character Muhan’ad and Noor, by wanting one or more of the following:

• Women want their husbands to romance them like the way Muhan’ad romances Noor.
• Women wish to spend one night with Muhan’ad.
• Women want their husbands to change their names to Muhan’ad.
• Women want their husband go through cosmatic surgry to look like Muhan’ad.

Mr Muhan’ad has ruined allot of people’s lives.

The positive about Gumus or Noor that it attracted more tourists from the Arab world to Turkey.
