I use the word "visualize" often, but then I'm a visual learner. Very Happy

Pool.

Just one word and I visualize myself floating in aqua-blue water. Ahhhhhhhh :wink:

Just to tell JB's audience that I met him at Heathrow yesterday! His first experience of England - not a good place! I took him to a small and chintzy bed and breakfast close to the airport, which rather disappointingly had no people there, only the proprietor on the end of a phone! So she talked us through the coded lock into his bedroom.
He is determined to go into central London and sight see today but has to be back at the airport to get the bus down to my school. Hope he makes it! He is so good at English already he may find the classes rather easy, although there are some good Swiss and German students about his age.

I'm so jealous you got to meet him

I remember my first day in England, being dead tired at Heathrow. See if you can urge him to keep a journal for us Clary.

Thanks, Clary. Glad to know ^JB^ arrived safe and sound. I hope he has a wonderful time and I second the idea of a journal! Very Happy

I'm thrilled to hear JB's in England! Thanks for letting us know, Clary.

Can JB get online and tell us all about his experiences, sometimes? I'd love to hear his impressions of England (I've never been, myself).

I'm happy for you, JB!

Hi, JB!

Jury pool:

"The body of prospective jurors summoned for jury duty"

Group of people to be jury on a trial...

Also:

· an excavation that is (usually) filled with water pond: a small lake
· an organization of people or resources that can be shared; "a car pool"; "a secretarial pool"; "when he was first hired he was assigned to the pool"
· consortium: an association of companies for some definite purpose
· any communal combination of funds; "everyone contributed to the pool"
· a small body of standing water (rainwater) or other liquid; "there were puddles of muddy water in the road after the rain"; "the body lay in a pool of blood"
· the combined stakes of the betters
· combine into a common fund; "We pooled resources"
· something resembling a pool of liquid; "he stood in a pool of light"; "his chair sat in a puddle of books and magazines"
· any of various games played on a pool table having 6 pockets
· join or form a pool of people

JB (aka Robert) should be able to find a time and place to go on line, but maybe is rather busy at the moment. My son is teaching him last lesson this morning, I'll relay the message!

Thanks, Clary! Looking forward to "visualizing" JB's experiences in England. Hope he takes and shares some photographs, too. Cool that your son is giving him lessons.

And once again, thanks to Clary again. Without here, I couldn't have chance to go to England. And without her, I would just be stranded in the flooded world's busiest airport.

Thanks, with great respect Smile

JB, don't worry about us. You just enjoy the experience. There's plenty of time to catch up later.

I was shocked that deeply when one of my Saudi Arabian friends was informed that there were more attacks in London, the city which impressed my so much. And 2 weeks ago after football before I enjoyed fully myself I saw the TV screen of the pavillion titled with "London Bombs", how frustrating! `To my relief was that today's explosions were only "incidents" with no people killed or badly injured.

Anyway, I have to apologize for my absense. I really failed to imagine that the opportunity to get online is so rare here in Britain (this was a complicated story which I will surely tell you later) And my priority of every slight opportunity is sending e-mails and photos back to China to illustrate a comprehensive image of my life, by that way to relieve my parents' nerves. About future I am still not sure. Maybe until I am back to China I can only tell you all about my life in Britain with juicy pictures.

The room will be shut down soon, and I will get on A2K as long as I can.

SEE YOU LATER!

^JB^

There's an Internet cafe in Ticklemore Street, just off the bottom of Fore Street, called Quay IT. And I think there's one at the top of town too, near the Happy Apple.

Hi all.
I am back at my home now---the end of my lovely summer holiday is imminent, The day after tomorrow exactly.

Actually I arrived home on the 23rd, but I was immediately exhumed by the complicated school election campaign preparation affairs----I received a call from a girl of my class before my trip to England in which she chose me as her partner. (She is a girl I can't miss this very opportunity to co-operate with though I am aware that the election is of pseudo-democracy with an Iranian-styled election committee and the "presidents" and the "ministers" have no concrete power after they are "elected").

And I have also been holding a strong feeling after my departure from Britain, that, my stay seems so short, the end seems so abrupt. In my memory many beautiful scenes of the life there still remain so realistic, so close to me. But after I realize they can never come back again, and they actually happened at the opposite end of the planet, I feel bad.
Anyway, let time heal it.

JB

Thank you

1 - CPA (certified public accountant)

Both a degree and a title

2 - Rad (radiation absorbed dose)

The rad is a unit used to measure a quantity called absorbed dose. This relates to the amount of energy actually absorbed in some material, and is used for any type of radiation and any material. One rad is defined as the absorption of 100 ergs per gram of material. The unit rad can be used for any type of radiation, but it does not't describe the biological effects of the different radiations.
