Dr. Lynne Noble, professor of early childhood education at Columbia College, has been selected to teach educators and teacher candidates in Mongolia as a Fulbright Scholar . She will teach and conduct cross cultural/comparative research in Mongolia from February through June in 2011.Chinggis Khan – that is the way it is written and pronounced…Chinggis. While most of us know him as warrior, his main intention was to unite the tribes of Mongolia, and then the world, in order to eliminate the need for war. If everyone lived under his rules, they were quite simple, there would be no rancor. Mongolia has managed to do this for many years.
Interestingly, the people of Mongolia know little about Chinggis as they were kept from their history until 1990 when communism fell and they became a democracy. However, they are quite proud of him and the fact that, once, they ruled the world.
Mongolian BBQ began with Chinggis. They would use their shields as pans in the fire, and their swords as cooking utensils. Mongolian BBQ restaurants emulate this today. And, it’s very good.
Multi-purpose weaponry, I love it. Probably hard to do that kind of thing with an AK-47 or whatever it is we use now!
ReplyDeleteNo rancor and BBQ--sounds great!
ReplyDeleteRick,do you have a medical panic alert button for your alarm system.I have one for my ADT alarm system.I was messing around with mine yesterday and set it off but was able to turn it off by entering our alarm code.We got it when I was sick and getting chemotherapy.Probably a good thing to have when you are home alone for six months.A 57 yo ortho surgeon friend of mine in Rock Hill had a heart attack and died last week.Being home alone on Morninglow for six months would make it a worth while purchase.
