Where are the baby dinosaurs?
Do not consider what is written below very seriously. This is my first try writing something on a public forum.
Several days ago I watched a video on TED about dinosaurs http://www.ted.com/talks/jack_horner_shape_shifting_dinosaurs
The speaker, in a humorous way, explained huge scientific mistakes made in world heritage.
All scientists like to give names to their discoveries. They seem to have a passion for it. This behavior is encouraged by the scientific community and society in general, and we all are like this. So because of this there are plenty of different types of dinosaurs (not live of course).
In some moments of his speech I even feel his grief about this fact :)
He asked himself a question: why are there no baby dinosaurs in museums? According him it was outrage of logic.
It was like an incentive to him to find the truth about dinosaurs. I do not think that he wanted abuse or accuse scientists, but his speech does not look like an allege.? (I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Allegation?)
His students cut dinosaurs' skulls open to check and compare their structure. The results showed us how our scientists were blind.
I think that many of us even do not think that such things even reasonable (?), but instead of 18 unique dinosaurs which are well known there are only seven. All others are just babies or adults of the same type.
My personal attitude to this is doubly happy(?). I like such discoveries and it was interesting to watch it.
But I think maybe he must have more valuable arguments to accuse scientists of their mistakes.
He has accomplished a great job together with his students. I commend (?) and appreciate him.
It is always curious to see how people take some deformed skulls or skeletons and tell interesting stories and make discoveries.
In some cases truth depends too much on a speakers diction, articulation and loquaciousness. If a speaker is confident, it is easy to become blind to his 'facts' in terms of what it truth and what is not

Currently, I'm working as a receptionist at a corporation that manufactures and sells plastic products. I found this job, while still in school, through my sister who used to work in this position before. I have worked here for seven months and I am going to graduate next week. However this position does not match my career field because my degree will be in business administration. So I'm looking for a new job. I'm planning to apply for a business sale position at the same firm I work for. But I'm so confused about what I should do. I don't know whether my boss will give me a chance to upgrade my career or not. Should I find a new job at a new company instead ? It is so hard to make decision .

I have lots of succulent plants which I wrote about in a previous notebook entry. I am fond of their easy cultivation because a new plant can grow from a leaf of another plant. It's amazing. I remove a lot of leaves to begin new plants, so the number of plants increases quickly. But there is a problem. Because I don't have enough space to keep them I have to sell them for a low price.
Yesterday, my boyfriend and I sold 4 pots of succulent plants. The price for them was 7 yuan, 7 yuan, 5 yuan and 12 yuan. The customer asked me "how much for all of them?" My boyfriend calculated the amount in his head and said " 27 yuan." Then we went home happily with 27 yuan. I didn't become aware of his mistake until it was time to go to bed.
It's both funny and annoying. We are both bad sellers.
P.S. The picture shows how a leaf grows into a new plant.0 votedDecember 10, 20141Early Alzheimer’s
Lately I’ve been forgetting a lot. I don’t know if people can have Alzheimer’s at an early age or if it’s just restricted to old age.
Sometimes it’s funny when I go to my room to grab something and the minute I get there I forget what I was doing. So I stand still until I remember, but it’s not easy. One day I was looking for my keys on my way out of my flat, but I only had the milk carton in my hand. I was stuck for a moment thinking about my keys and when I returned the milk to the fridge, I found my keys there!
Then this happened yesterday! It was time to go to work, but I felt uncomfortable like we do when we have forgetten something important. The moment I opened my flat door to leave, I realized I didn’t have my shoes on. (Or you could say you realized you weren't wearing your shoes.) So I guess it’s not funny anymore.
Do other people suffer from the same thing? Does it happen because our minds are full of many ideas and thoughts about different things?0 votedDecember 9, 20141Traditional Dresses.
I’m the newest employee at my company and two days ago I read an email that was forwarded to me from my boss about the annual Christmas party! Hmm. I was surprised because I’m not into parties. I asked about it and it looks like I'm required to go. I was told it’s usually fun. The theme or the idea of this year’s party is wearing traditional costumes. Seeing the looks on the faces of my female colleagues made me feel like this party must be something different because they were so happy just talking about it and preparing for it. They even took the last hour of work on Friday just to look for traditional dresses online ;)
I was not going to do the same until I heard them laughing together, so I took a look and to my surprise I found that I liked those dresses very much. Unfortunately I’m not sure that the traditional dress I liked will be easy to find anywhere. One of my colleagues picked a traditional dress from Africa and she said she can borrow it from her Nigerian friend. Lucky her. I wish I had a friend from Armenia, because my favorite dress is Armenian.
I hope I’ll make up my mind and pick something soon. If I don't I’ll be the only girl at the party with a non-traditional dress and I don’t wish to look odd, especially because I’m the new girl there.0 votedDecember 9, 20141
