A guide to making good GBS posts:


1. You need to know exactly what you want to say, then make sure you have your point and/or solution covered, then make your sentence short and sweet, and then put it into your post. This helps your chances of the other person reading your post and seeing it as something they can benefit from reading.

2. You also need to be consistent. You must write in the same place every time you post. This will help you make your posts interesting and engaging to read, and will help to keep the posts from going over your post limit.


You also want to write in a way that you can easily understand. People who do this can make some of the most engaging posts in GBS, and you will feel a lot better about your posts as a result

The most interesting fact about King Charles I's death is that there is a common misconception that the coronation and execution of Charles were the end of the monarchy. That is not true. After the death of Charles, a Parliament under the leadership of the Protestant James II was elected to rule over the Kingdom of England. During the reign of James, England experienced the period known as the Thirty Years' War. The Thirty Years' War began in 1337 when France and England fought over a region of land known as the Low Countries. This region of land included the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Austria. The war would end in 1648 with the Treaty of Troyes, which laid the foundation for the eventual division of the German lands, with the English kingdom and the Spanish kingdom being the two main kingdoms

Tyrion's predicament is further complicated by the fact that Daenerys has been kidnapped and taken into the desert with her two small dragons. In the aftermath of the battle at the Blackwater, the two dragons have died and they have been left to die in the desert without being fed or nursed. To make matters worse, Jon Snow and Brienne of Tarth have been captured and are being held by a bunch of wights, led by a very angry and sadistic Ramsay Bolton.

Star Trek: Picard - Episode 1 Plot:

Picard has found that he is the last surviving officer in the Federation's fleet, having lost his commanding officer, Admiral Jellico, in the Borg attack on the Enterprise in 2371. However, the damage is irreversible, as Picard's body is still at large and could easily destroy the vessel.

As the Enterprise's crew desperately tries to restore order, Picard is confronted by the Borg who have been observing his efforts. Despite Picard's objections, the Borg are forced to allow him to command the ship, with the Borg Queen, posing as Picard, having already killed the other Federation officers.

The Enterprise arrives in the Delta Quadrant. The Queen demands that the crew of the Enterprise give themselves up to her in exchange for safety and an end to the invasion. Picard refuses, having made a promise to Jellico to save his life. However, it seems that Jellico is no more, and the Queen orders for a

And yes, porn is a form of advertising.  You might think that's bad.  I would say that's good.  If people can get the products they want, then they have more money and more time for other things.  The more money and time you have, the more you can do with it.  You can do something you want to do or you can do something you don't want to do.

Apple has revealed its latest innovative product, the highly unusual iphone that will be sold with a built-in 3D printer that can print in a range of materials.

At its event in San Francisco this morning, Apple revealed the iPhone 4S, a 6.1-inch model with a 4-inch display, a camera, a battery and a new technology called iSight.

The new iPhone was announced at a keynote appearance from Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder and former CEO, and was unveiled with an Apple TV, a computer, the iPod, iPad and a range of products and accessories.

The new iPhone is a bit thinner than the 4-inch model, but weighs about the same. The front is dominated by a 6.1-inch display, which the firm describes as its "most advanced" ever, giving it a much sharper image.

It will also be the first Apple phone to be sold with a built-in 3D printer.

Riker, Data, and Worf are on the holodeck when the Enterprise detects the Borg.

Act One Edit

The Borg have assimilated the Enterprise, and Picard is shocked at the Borg's knowledge of Human history. With the assistance of Data, he is able to learn a bit more about the Borg, and the knowledge about them that Data acquired from Riker and Data.

Picard asks Riker to come with him to the ship's briefing room. When he meets with the other senior officers, he learns of the Borg's goal of creating an army, but he doesn't tell them about his knowledge of the Borg, and as a result they decide to have Riker and Data stay with the Enterprise.

On the holodeck, La Forge and Worf are playing "Tetris," but Riker gets jealous, thinking that the game is rigged, and destroys the playing piece with a plasma torpedo.

The 2008 'great financial crisis' was primarily caused by  banker greed, a lack of regulation, an inability to recognize when banks got too big, and a 'free market' that created a situation where 'too big to fail' was no longer a problem. This time the 'Great Recession' will be more serious than the 'Great Depression' in just the same way that the 'Great Recession' of the 1930s was more serious than the Great Depression of the 1920s. We should recognize that what is happening today is an inevitable outgrowth of the financial crisis of 2008.  The same things that caused the 2008 crisis will cause the next financial crisis and the last financial crisis. This is the truth about these crises:   There are structural reasons for each of them.
These structural reasons are not merely  a failure of public policy, and they are not merely a failure of government regulation, but a failure of the free market system, and the free market system is not an appropriate instrument for

The 2008 'great financial crisis' was primarily caused by  the excessive deregulation and the failure to implement 'macroprudential' policies and thus to limit the credit expansion of the private sector that fueled the bubble and subsequent collapse of the global financial system.  The failure to implement macroprudential policies and to prevent the collapse of the private housing market was also responsible for the 'Great Recession', as it was due to the over-regulation and excessive monetary policy pursued by the US Federal Reserve and the EU 'bail-in' policies in the 'shadow banking' sector.
The Great Recession was due to the collapse of the private property market in the US, Europe and other countries that was due to excessive credit expansion by the financial sector and its private investors.
The Great Recession was due to the failure of the private banks in the US and elsewhere to reduce their excessive loan and lending ratios to the point where their balance sheets would no longer be unsustainable.

World War One began because the Ottoman Empire wanted to annex Europe. When the First World War began the Ottomans had already annexed half of Europe and most of the Balkan Peninsula.   But they were not finished yet. The British government of the time had to declare war on the Ottomans as the Ottomans were preparing to attack Cyprus and a possible attack on Greece.  The British had already declared war on Germany in August 1914.  So the British had to attack the Ottoman Empire before Germany did.
The Turks did not stand a chance. In a matter of months the British invaded and conquered what is now Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. The Ottomans surrendered in 1922. The Turks are still fighting over the territories they had lost.
The British were now in control of the world.  They were able to use their military power to attack the governments of other countries.  The British then invaded countries that they did not want to

The name is Bond, James Bond. The man's name is James Bond. He is the secret agent of the British government and has a mission to save the world from evil. His secret weapon is a specially designed gadget that he can use to perform many dangerous missions.

The British spy's first mission was to find the whereabouts of a Nazi scientist who is building a rocket ship, capable of destroying America.

As the mission began, Bond found the scientist and his assistant, who had escaped to the South American country of Argentina. He then joined forces with the military forces to stop the rocket ship from reaching its intended target.

Once the scientists have been rescued, the rocket ship is destroyed, and Bond finds out that he is being followed by the secret agent known as M.

M then leads him to the headquarters of the criminal organization known as The Cobra organization, who are in possession of the most powerful weapon in the universe - the super soldier serum.


Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Dr No: No Mister Bond, I expect you to die mwuahaha

Bond: You have killed me twice. I do not have much of a problem with that, I think it's a little... odd that you would want to get rid of me, but I think it is just how you're wired, you always get what you want and there isn't really anyone to get in your way. I just think it's strange that you didn't kill me sooner, but I guess you didn't have time.
Dr No: You're going to die, Bond. You know I don't do nice things to people who don't deserve it. If you don't want to die then don't talk to me, but I expect you to die.
Bond: I have been listening to you talk about death and I have a very specific idea

Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Dr No: No Mister Bond, I expect you to die mwuahaha
!
Bond: You don't know that
Dr No: Then what are you doing here?
Bond: Well…
Dr No: Then let me explain something to you.
Bond: What?
Dr No: You're my patient. That means that I am your doctor, and I will do anything in my power to help you. But at the same time, I want you to understand that I am a man with my own agenda. And you will understand that it will not always be easy for me to help you.
Bond: You can't expect me to understand! You are supposed to be on a suicide mission!
Dr No: I know, I know. I'm sorry. This is all very new to me.

Back at the future

The Doc and Marty are back at the Doc's house, and Doc is wearing his time machine again. Marty: Marty, can I go?

Doc Brown: Not this time.

Marty: Okay.

Doc Brown: You don't know what you're getting into.

Marty: Doc, why did you give me the key to this time machine?

Doc Brown: Because I'm leaving for the future!

Marty: It's weird. The past and the future don't match up. And I don't know where I am, or where the other Marty is. I just know I can't get back.

HAL: Yes, sir.

There is no doubt that the video above has given rise to numerous memes, including this one, which I am not a fan of.
I think this is a much more useful meme than the one below, which was the result of a real life experience I was having in the UK:
I was working in a high end restaurant with a young woman, who had a job in the catering industry. She had been working there a long time, but had decided to come out on her own. I was one of the few other staff members who supported her decision and the fact that she had done so, and was willing to put up with the company being so terrible, was hugely encouraging. In this instance, the woman's attitude to her work environment, her manager and the

The biggest mistake a man can make is to give up trying, even when a failure is staring you in the face.

Failure has its advantages. It gives you the chance to change your course. It also forces you to learn from your mistakes.

Failure is the opportunity to grow, but not in a direction you didn't expect.

Don't forget, if you want to learn and grow, you have to fail in some fashion. You have to fail at something.

I don't care if it's a job interview, a dance recital, or a bar exam. You have to fail, so you can learn from your failures and take that knowledge and apply it to the things you want to do in life.

If you don't want to fail, don't pursue success at all costs. Success is just another word for failure.

If you want to accomplish anything worthwhile, you have to take some risk. You have to do things you never


The biggest mistake a man can make is to think that the future is already written. The future is unpredictable; you can't plan for it. You can't plan for what's going to happen to you. You can't plan for things. The future is unpredictable. We can't plan for things. The future is unpredictable.


If you want to be successful, you have to be a master of surprises. The more surprises you can surprise people, the more they'll like you. And you can't take anything for granted. You have to be a realist. It's always going to be the unknown that's going to be the biggest surprise.


If you want to win, you have to understand the art of the catch. You have to catch the opponent off guard and not give him a chance to think. When you catch them off guard, they're completely out of rhythm.


It's really easy to be successful, you just have to be willing to work hard

If you want to be successful, you have to be a master of surprises. The more surprises you can surprise people, the more they'll like you

(This is actually better than real Voyager dialogue)

Captain Janeway: There are three things to remember about being a starship captain: Keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship, and keep your nose clean.

Captain Janeway: Captain, what is it?

Tuvok: We have encountered an advanced, and very advanced alien species.

Captain Janeway: Advanced?

Tuvok: It may be the most advanced life form we have ever encountered.

Captain Janeway: Well, that's quite a statement.

Tuvok: They're not aware of the fact that they're advanced.

Captain Janeway: The Vulcans have had a history of contact with this species. We've had contact with the Borg, we've had contact with the Maquis. How are we going to be different?

Tuvok: They will not understand why we are invading their space. They will see this

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) fights in a Starfleet court for Data's right of self-determination in order not to be declared mere property of Starfleet, while Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) is obligated to argue on behalf of the scientist. As the two enter the courtroom, the ship's bridge is invaded by Romulan forces who are attacking. After a fight between the Romulans and the Enterprise, Data discovers that the Romulans have also hacked into the Enterprise's main computer, which has then allowed them to send out messages to the Romulan High Command. The Romulan attack is stopped by a joint Federation-Romulan force, who then transport Data to Romulus, where they intend to experiment on the android. But the experiment fails when the Romulans discover the true reason that Data is an android, and turn him into the ultimate killing machine

Captain Picard stepped onto the bridge.
"Report" Picard said out loud to his room of officers.
"We have found an anomaly in space-time Captain" reported Data
 "this is an area of space-time distortion we have not seen before, it is the only location where we have encountered this. The spatial dimension of this area has been altered and the bridge officers are trapped.  The Captain will give you access to the bridge at once to attempt to make contact."
"Captain Picard, we are being attacked by three Borg vessels. They are destroying us." the captain said into his communicator.
"We will return soon with the Defiant" said Lieutenant Worf as he returned to his quarters.
"All hands to the bridge." Picard ordered "I want an emergency transporter built on the bridge as soon as possible. I'll be out there as well."

"I'm sorry but the problem will require us to open another temporal anomaly to repair the damage" Data explained.
"But sir, that would mean an hour or two in the time dilation chamber!" complained Wesley.
"Don't tell me you are afraid of time dilation, Wesley" Picard said.
"I'm not scared of time dilation, but that would mean that I will have to suffer another hour of torture" Wesley said.
"No, Wesley... it is an anomaly" Picard said calmly.
"That doesn't mean you will be able to fix it!" Wesley said angrily.

"Anomaly?" asked Picard.
"Yes Captain" Data said. "We have detected the presence of a quantum singularity at this location. It appears to be moving with no apparent source."
"And it is moving at the same time as the Enterprise" Picard observed.  Data smiled slightly.  "It is a rather complex process. As long as the anomaly remains stationary it will remain undiscovered. We will keep a close watch on it, but we will have to accept that it will remain in the same location. "
"Sir" Worf responded. "We have a problem."
"What problem?" asked Picard.
"The singularity has a gravitational field that is increasing in intensity." Worf stated.
