Business / 7 Russian Taboos You Should Know Before Doing Business There! by rightflank: 4:31pm On Mar 11, 2015
write messages in red ink. 

All countries seem to have a baffling number of foreign practices, and Russia has an especially extensive list of taboos that a business traveler would be wise to avoid.

According to Richard Lewis' book, "When Cultures Collide: Leading Across Cultures," it's important to remember these seven things the next time you visit Russia:

1. Don't wear your coat indoors.

It is considered bad etiquette to wear your overcoat inside. Even if the heat is broken, buck up and hang your coat immediately.

2. Don't keep your hands in your pockets.

It is bad form to walk around or stand with your hands in your pockets. If you're doing business in Russia, keep your hands visible to avoid looking sloppy.

3. Do not sit with your legs apart.

In addition, do not sit with your ankle resting on your knee, and never show the soles of your shoes or let them touch your seat, since shoes are considered dirty.

4. Do not whistle in the street.

Whistling in the street — and indoors — is frowned upon. Play it safe, and avoid whistling all together.

5. Do not eat lunch on park lawns.

No matter how beautiful the weather, forget picnicking. 

6. Do not ask people where the toilet is.

It is poor form to ask people where the bathroom is, particularly those of the opposite sex.

7. Do not shake a hand through a doorway.

Russians are known to be very superstitious. It is considered bad luck to shake hands across any threshold, according to The Moscow Times, so save your greeting until you're fully indoors.

Guys, I'm above 30. I turned 31 on the 4th of March this year, I'm surprised I found my name on the senate list. Thing is my graduation date was delayed due to ASUP strike in 2013 and 2014. Just wondering if my name is on there by mistake.

thanki410:
4th Day of the Month A birthday on the fourth day of the month
indicates a four-square individual, a lover of
nature, home, family and country. You are most
likely to be successful in manufacturing, building,
utilities, textiles - any occupation connected with
the products of the earth. Music,painting or sculpting offer relaxing sidelines, although you
could commercialize any of these as well. You're
rather set in your ideas and tend to impose them
on others, seeing yourself as the final arbiter of
good manners and correct ethics. Your belief in
discipline makes it hard for you to express your feelings, and as a result you suffer a great deal
emotionally. When it comes to work, you drive
yourself tirelessly -- and, unfortunately,everyone
else, too. You have a decided tendency to
overwork and if need be should schedule time for
recreation.
You've just described me, great job.
Poems For Review / Falling To Our End. by rightflank: 2:34pm On Oct 27, 2014
# Falling to our end

Thought we were a team;
tag team;
You and me,
our backs together;
Sword in hand,
Slicing through enemies before us;
Side by side
walking victorious.
Pipe dream -
to think we were
the ones who changed math,
the one plus ones equals one "HEARTS",
the green envy of the "coup d'états",
the tiny needle in their haystack,
because now we're here,
like "two" strangers -
locked up in the same room,
fighting progress
in silent protest
...Now we're here,
remembering our "Wishing Well";
our love like a spell...
none of us could tell
we'd be here
standing on a ledge,
falling to our end.

All this Nigerians showing their ignorance.
In the same nigeria, we have areas given only to whites and black people have no business there. I am talking about expatriate in the oil industry, I have forgotten the name of the company. You find them mostly in PH, I am sure in lagos too you will see.
This is lame.
Romance / Re: What Is The Dumbest Lie Your Ex Ever Told You? by rightflank: 7:45pm On Oct 18, 2014
One day, I called "Dillish" (not her real name) at about 6.30 in the morning telling her I had something to tell her, but it wasn't something we could discuss over the phone, that I'd meet her later that evening so we could talk. She insisted I tell her, but I refused. Three hours later, being 9.30am, she called and was like "baby! Please tell me that thing now. Let's talk about it now. If credit's the problem, don't worry I've got enough; I couldn't sleep throughout night cos my mind kept wondering what it was you had to tell me...baby please"...and I was like "ahn! ahn! Dillish (long time I called her by her name. With this she know say yawa don gas) You could not sleep throughout the night? But it was just this morning I called to say I wanted to tell you stuff. Jeez! So this is how you've been lying to me; even heaven knows it's over." Guys, come see beg, she still dey lie on top the beg dey try confuse me...
