<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">She sat in the balcony, where the air was fresh, and in front of her, on the table, a cup of coffee, which she used to drink every morning, but on this day in particular - and unusually -she had woke up early (and full of energy)!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">First, she ignited her cigarette as she looks at the mounting smoke from the cup passionately as it carries the smell of coffee, so she inhales it in relief. Next to her, her naughty cat was sitting specualting the silence she had used to it.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">She kept looking to the cup and how its smoke tempts her to take a first sip and she smiles! What a taste!!! She kept taking sips over and over until that smoke was calmed down. She put the cup on the table with a few coffee left waiting for her last sips, as she began to ignite a second cigarette.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">She strayed from her coffee a little bit and seemed more occupied with her cigarettes that were melting between her fingers and her mouth, and she began to leave with the smoke rising. </span><span style="color: black;">The little angel grabbed the cup, scrabbles about it, as she figured out that the smoke has faded and the smell of the coffee, too. So she extinguished what remained of the cigarette then she looked to the sky and smiled with a little bit of self-irony!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">As she was deciding, her cat began to flirt with her trying to break that desolate silence. and perhaps to have some fun.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">She grabbed her cat and headed towards the door, kicking her out. Then she went back again to the chair she sat on for ages in the balcony. She stepped up to the fence where the last floor of the towering architecture is, and turned her back and began to remember.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">She remembered her past. She remembered her tears, how she laughed and remembered her love and loved ones. </span><span style="color: black;">She remembered how she woke up to welcome the Valentine's Day alone and single, but with a smile accompanied with a hope for a single meeting where she arranged her room and brought out her most prestigious clothes –that girl that he was looking to with a slight smile as he kisses her out of love–she had conjured up her makeup and wore her clothes, then began wandering the streets searching for a gift that would feel his face with a joy. Afterwars, she went to the places where she can see him most until she came across a coffee shop, that witnessed their laughter in the New Year's Eve.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">-where he kissed the angel and made her angry in the morning - and where everyone celebrates Valentine's Day, she grabbed the phone, and sent him the first love message and sat waiting. Then she went back remembering him and began to cry that she hardly can breath!. Few minutes later, she sent him a message again while he was performing a phone call with his lover.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">Him: Darling</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Her: Bae</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Him: I'm waiting for you</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Her: I'll be there in a couple of mintues, my love ♥</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">She sent him a voice message saying: "I remember you giving a rose that made me so happy that I'm keeping it to that day". While at the same time she was sending that message, he was giving the same rose to his "darling". She was remembering the way he gave his loved one that rose, she still can remember the few words he spelled out while handing out his gift, sitting on his knees: "I thought this rose would make you happy, Sonia!". She desperatly hoped that he'd have treated her the way he treats his girlfriend, but he didn't.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">As he was saying those sweet words to his loved one, she just couldn't wait anymore as he fluctuates in the bosom of the other girl. Waiting made her feel a real and tough pain inside her as she witnesses all the cuddles and flirts. That same pain stopped her heart while he's shrouded with the love of an other one.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">She closed her eyes, and as soon as she saw someone - all in white - with open arms in the sky welcoming her, holding that same rose she kept remembering, she threw herself with the biggest smile she ever had.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black;">Her body bumped in the ground, her face is still smiling, and next to her that cat contemplating <b>the last silence</b>..</span><br />

<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Frankly, since Christmas 2014 I didn't go to many international events maybe cause of the lack of interest.. Well whatever! The events I'm about to mention are not in order, just saying.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Let me start talking about my participation for the Earth Hour in Tunisia. I went along with my big brother to the Capital Tunis-- I can't describe the atmosphere there, everything was very organized to be honest. When you turn those lights off and lit your candles for an hour, you feel like you've done an achievement especially when you're aware that these 60 minutes have their value in saving energy. I'm glad I was a participant in that event.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Sincerely, I'm not fan of Jazz and such but my father insisted on taking me with him to this event and I couldn't refuse. However, I discovered that my dislike for this genre of music was just a stupidity. Jazz is just unique and that's what make it special; it doesn't look like any other music genres whether deep house, rock, electro, dubstep etc. It has it's own characteristics. It was an amazing concert!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">I don't think that Carthage Musical Festival needs any introduction because it is actually an international festival. I don't usually go to that festival to be honest but as soon as I heard that Stromae will perform at the concert, I couldn't control myself. The ticket was pretty expensive, it was around 140 pounds (tunisian dinar) and I can remember that I was begging my father for around two weeks to grant me permission to go with my friends to it's concert-- or let me put it this way, I was begging him during that period to give money to buy the ticket hahaha. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">With the testimony of those present, Stromae's performance was probably one of the best - if not the best - performances ever of Carthage Musical Festival in the recent years, without any doubt. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Surely, our need for the energy is increasing day after day, and this increase is definitely affecting our earth negatively.

<span style="font-size: small;">Nowadays, being aware of the copyright policies is strongly recommended, especially if you're a blogger, therefore respecting these laws will play in your favor. <span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">This video</span> <span class="hps">shows you</span> <span class="hps">all </span><span class="hps">big</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">small things</span> <span class="hps">regarding the copyright policy</span><span class="hps"></span> <span class="hps">in a funny and professional way, especially that the remix is about fairy tales that we surely watched when we were little "babies" (well I still watch them but yea). In a nutshell, copyright means that the maker of a video/image/graphics (designs in general) is the owner, and you can't steal/copy/use his work without his/her permission. </span></span></span></div>

we react harshly when one of our colleagues copy a paragraph we wrote
without even asking permission and/or claims it's his/her own. I guess
the same criteria applies when it comes to people stealing/using your
own made GFX/designs. Everything in the internet could be easily
exploited especially pictures and stuff. It's not like any of the
hand-made pictures you create in real life, because most-likely no one
can steal your copy and it doesn't get disclosed unless you give it to one
of your friends or something. It became really annoying for graphic
designers to see their work being stolen that's why copyright policies
are there to prevent such things from happening. However, if you don't
have the potential to create fancy images like the ones in the internet,
there are designs that use the CC policies (creative commons) according
to the terms of the liscenced work . Generally, it's rotated between
whether you can use the image for financial purposes without owner's
permission, or you can use his image but you'd have to credit him, and
things alike.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><span class="hps">As regards of the first opinion, I say t</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><span class="hps"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">hat the</span> <span class="hps">reference to</span> <span class="hps">the psychological state</span> <span class="hps">is a naive justification that </span><span class="hps">doesn't amount to</span> <span class="hps">the discussion. Opposers say that the death penalty is cruel and inhumain and this isn't actually based on rational justification, they just loathe from it as it's not in the line of their moods. If this claim would be taken into consideration, all human values will simply collapse, and work won't have any moral value because it's not based on reason </span></span></span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><span class="hps">but on</span> <span class="hps">the mood</span> <span class="hps">of the</span> <span class="hps">perpetrator</span>, or <span class="hps">whether</span> <span class="hps">the</span> <span class="hps">governing</span> <span class="hps">law. A closer look at this justification proves that it recognizes the death penalty, but it only objects the bloody scene of the murder. In other words, if the death penalty wasn't public, it won't have sparked a lot of allergies. </span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><span class="hps">So</span> <span class="hps">I do not want</span> <span class="hps">to prolong</span> <span class="hps">the debate</span> <span class="hps">in</span> <span class="hps">this aspect</span> <span class="hps">because it's</span> <span class="hps">a weak</span> <span class="hps">argument</span> <span class="hps">that doesn't</span> <span class="hps">stand</span> <span class="hps">on solid ground</span>.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;">The second argument won't also hold much, </span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">because</span> <span class="hps">it</span> <span class="hps">fall</span> <span class="hps">on it's own</span> <span class="hps">and without the</span> <span class="hps">extensive</span> <span class="hps">intellectual</span> <span class="hps">discussion.

<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><span class="hps"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Before we continue this debate, I'd like to clarify what I mean by the work "punishment". The punishment becomes inappropriate if there are two things: If that punishment is characterized by excessive pain that hurts human so much. For example, carrying a homeless away from the cold weather outside, and imprisoning him in a warm cell with a bed is not considered as a punishment. The second thing about the penalty is related to the offender's past. The punishment should be applied as a result of the offender's criminal history. These clauses can't be separated from each other, otherwise we would consider the income tax imposed on rich people as a penalty as it hurts their owners, despite the lack of criminal history. Therefore, the relation between human past and his sufferings are two things that can't be also separated, that's why the criminal deserves the punishment.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="">Anyway, everything started when I opened my eyes on Jeddah hospital, in Saudi Arabia. I can not remember anything of course but my mom told me that there was a doctor who turned me upside and down, and slapped me on my back. We are actually exposed to violence from the first moment, and then they ask why our generation is fanatic and reckless. I mean come on, why don't you fix your medical system first? I lived in Saudi Arabia for about four years, and I wore that traditional <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Saudi_Arabia#Dress">gulf dress</a>. Wearing that one sleeved one piece dress that covers the whole body, which is called Thoub, and putting that Schumagg, which is actually a scarf-like head cover. It was werid to be honest.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="">I did not study there but my big brother did, they were required to wear the Thoub. The course starts around 7:30 A.M but the strangest thing is that people study in single-gender schools which means NO GIRLS, if you wanna say something romantic, you'd have to say it to your classmate, who is a MALE, just like you. I feel pity for my brother because seeing a girl at that time was like seeing the Mermaid. </span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">I have always been</span> <span class="hps">waiting for</span> <span class="hps">Thursday</span> <span class="hps">on pins and needles</span>, because <span class="hps">on that day,</span> <span class="hps">my father</span> <span class="hps">takes us</span> <span class="hps">on a stroll</span> <span class="hps">to Jeddah</span><span class="hps">, where I buy many games, especially those little cars, OHHH I still have that collection until now, they're amazing.

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Four years later, we returned to Tunisia except for my father who stayed there until he completes his medical internship, which will last one year. Until my dad comes back from Saudi Arabia, we stayed at my grandmother's house in a pretty popular neighborhood called "Ezzahrouni", located on south of the capital Tunis. I studied there in one of the kindergardens, and I'd like to thank a teacher who was working there for her oustanding effort and motivating me in eudcation. I got to know a lot of friends, and had fun with them, but it hurts me right in the heart because I haven't seen them for years now while I always thought that they'll be there forever but that's life, we have to move forward. </span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">That year</span> <span class="hps">was</span> <span class="hps">one of the best</span> <span class="hps">years</span> <span class="hps">on record</span> <span class="hps">because I was</span> <span class="hps">one of the</span> <span class="hps">outstanding students</span> <span class="hps">in</span> <span class="hps">kindergarten</span>, <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">my brother</span> <span class="hps">passed</span> the exam of the sixth primary year, <span class="hps">and</span> he <span class="hps">was</span> <span class="hps">among the top</span> <span class="hps">three students</span> <span class="hps">in</span> <span class="hps">"Ezzahrouni School". On the summer of 2003, my dad finally came back to Tunisia, and what a joy it was! We all missed him and we were all happy to see him again. However, it wasn't a completed joy because after just six months, dad had a surgery. Those days were just tough, not just for me, but for the whole family, but, fotunately, everything returned to normal. In that same year, we moved to Taher Sfar, where we've built a house, and I studied in "Ibn Rachik" primary school and from there, I began my real educational career. I studied in that school for around six years, where I got many awards and certificates, and also got to know new people, CRAZY people that I love haha. I got to know people that don't care about education, people that care so much about it, people who are funny and has a good sense of humor, and people who are jealous. I mean we all have passed by this kind of persons. Since my fourth year of the primary education, I began to play handball within my school, and I discovered that I have a hidden talent in my inside. My love for this sport has grown day by day, and I was improving, I've been working hard to be someday a player with value. My dream seemed to be true when I've been selected among ONLY 24 players in a all tunisia to be in the regional team, and play in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salle_Omnisport_de_Rades">RADES OLYMPIC INDOOR ARENA</a>! I was aged 12 at the time, but I felt the responsibility, because I'm not just going to mark my presence, I'm going to play for my region and my team. I can remember my manager telling me <i>"Aymen, seize this opportunity, son. People have been playing handball for years and they dream to put their feet inside Rades Olympic arena!"</i>. These words really motivated me, and I couldn't even sleep, waiting just for the day to come in to get myself prepared for the match. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">After meeting on the train station, my manager took me to the arena, but there was a big SURPRISE! I thought that the arena would be just empty, but I discovered that we're going to play just few minutes before the handball cup final match starts. The indoor arena was full, there was also giant screens, media keep pace with the event, crowd supporting their teams, songs... </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><span class="hps">The atmosphere was</span> <span class="hps">enthusiastic and I felt confused, I was telling myself "Aymen, you're not gonna make it, you better leave". My body wanted to leave, but my mind wanted to play. It was a battle between confusion and truth that ended with the winning of truth. I wore my sports outfit, and fotunately, got selected in the first squad. The beginning of the match wasn't that good; a lot of errors, wrong passes and shots but I remdiaded later on. It was a good game and I've done well. I was very happy!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span class="hps">The next year, exactly in 2010, I entered a new stage in my studies, as I moved to college. It was pretty hard to cope with the atmosphere there but it went well. Many things changed; I had to take the train, come back home late... I met new friends in the middle school, it was a new environment, new way of thinking. I was like most of the boys at the time, trying to show off, trying to prove that I'm strong, OH and YEA, I may seem that good boy now, but believe me, in my starts in the preparatory school, I was always fighting with boys, always having that scar on my head HAHAHA but then I realised that all of this is just a waste of time, you know? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span class="hps">After three years, I moved to high school, and thus to the secondary level. I spent and still spend wonderful days in "Nabheni High School" especially in the english subject, which I love, as my teacher Miss Hayfa relays on technology and she's the one who motivated me to start blogging or I wouldn't be here, writing that post. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span class="hps">I'm simply a normal person, a little bit crazy but someone who can actually make people laugh so quick. I love people, and so they do. I just wanted to give you a small glimpse about my life, I hope you liked it.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"> Pixton is a great web application, it offers you much more features to create your own avatar than other websites. Yet, you should create an account in order to start creating your avatar. The website address should be as fellows: http://www.pixton.com </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">The only drawback on the site is that, even with a registered account, you'd only have a 7 days trial, and as soon as it expires, you'll need to purchase a license. Actually that's reasonable due to the big turnout on Pixton, which prompted it's owners to take advantage of this opportunity and make a profit from the site. Pixton is not only used to create avatars, it is also a way to make professional comics. Anyway, I wanted to write a tutorial for those who are interested in discovering this web application. Have a good one!</span><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="background-color: white;">TUTORIAL </span></span></h4>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="st"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Physically, my avatar has actually a beige skin, and an undercut hairstyle, which I really love. He has green eyes, that kind that you can look into and feel like you're getting lost. The avatar's eyebrows are black, thick, bushy and rectangular. He has a good sense of humor, he can easily make people laugh, he's actually comfortable, big hearted and attractive. This avatar is my mirror, I see myself when I see him, especially his eye glances. He's typically me as we share many similarities. I'm funny and extremely introverted,
weird, a little crazy, imaginative. I accept others as they are and I try to be as non-judgmental as
possible, I'm kinda childish, but in a good way, not a bratty
way, I put others first and I'm pretty hard to offend. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span class="st">Abdallah - my father - he works in the hospital Habib Thamer as a general practitioner for around fifteen years now. He's like other fathers, he tries to reconcile between his work and family life, which I see his succeeded in doing so.</span></span> <span style="color: black; font-size: small;">This mustaches may give the impression that my father is somehow a strict man, but believe me he's not. Well he may be that strict, but when it seems necessary, you know? My father is my friend, he's very close to his children; he listens to their problems and try to help them. I love him so much!</span><br />

She knows the real me, and I know the real her, what an equation, right? Haha. My mom is simply my princess.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">My brother Ahmed, he's in fact five years older than me, but that did not affect my relationship with him, which is characterized by openness and fun. He's my mentor; due to his experience, he always advise me and lend me a helping hand, he's there when I need him and so I am. He loves football (well that's reflected from the background I chose for his avatar) to the degree that he doesn't want to speak with anyone if a match is in progress, especially if it's related to "EST" (his favourite team). I like this exotic personality of my brother, to be honest.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">My sister, Amal. My relationship with her is decent, I would say. She may look like between a social butterfly, and a
wallflower. She can get stressed out easily from things,
and can sometimes be a little high-strung. Amal is mature, a happy and a nice person. She
is very compassionate and loving. I'm too close to my sister, maybe because of the little age difference between us, it is the fact that I'm only one year older than her. </span><br />

When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom</h3>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Harriet, a woman who had been for a long time a salve on the south, was born on 1820 on a region where slavery is all what people know. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Slaves were owned by masters, just like pets. They were deprived from the most basic meanings of life such as their family, their birthdate etc. Harriet lived in a poor and small village, and despite her young age which doesn't qualify her to do such tasks as those she was doing, she worked like grown ups in the cutten fields and never went to school.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Things took another turning point when Harriet had an accident; a slave was trying to run towards the north, but a white man tried to stop him and threw an object to block him which, inadvertently, hit Harriet and let a scar on her head. <span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">This</span> <span class="hps">scar</span> <span class="hps">left </span><span class="hps">a deep</span> <span class="hps">pain in the</span> <span class="hps">girl</span>, the more <span class="hps">from the inside</span> <span class="hps">than</span> <span class="hps">the outside,</span> <span class="hps">that pain</span> <span class="hps">that will blow</span> <span class="hps">Harriet's will to go through the path of freedom. Months later, she processed to do what she always wanted to do and escaped to the north where there is no slavery, where she can feel like a human being. The railroad to the north was that shining light of freedom, but it was pretty dangerous. After facing the difficulties and hiding from a house to another, Harriet finally reached her destination, and thus achieved what men were unable to do. She quickly adopted with the atmosphere there as she got a job in a hotel. With the passage of time, Harriet started to deport slaves from the south to the north </span></span><span class="gt-baf-back gt-baf-hl">surreptitiously and became a hindrance for salves masters, who were offered big prizes just to capture her, but she never got caught, fortunately. This woman who wrote her name with golden letters as an example of the struggling woman who love freedom, proved that there is so many ways to fight slavery. During the civil war, she worked as a spy for the north as she has a big</span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"> <span class="hps">knowledge</span> <span class="hps">of the place</span> <span class="hps">in which she </span> <span class="hps">lived for many years</span>, and she <span class="hps">provided them</span> <span class="hps">with valuable information</span> <span class="hps">that played a crucial role</span> <span class="hps">in</span> <span class="hps">the</span> <span class="hps">war</span>. Harriet was also a nurse and helped the war injuries. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en" style="font-size: small;">After a march full of adventures and sacrifices, Harriet died on 1913, at the age of 93 years old, but she's still alive with us today with her achievements, she lives in the heart of every black who was in a certain period a slave.</span></div>

My First Ever Made Scratch Game</h3>

<div style="text-align: left; color: black">
I always thought that scratch is a useless web application, for some reason that appeared to be the truth for me, but, as from when I started discovering the secrets of this application, I totally changed my opinion about it. I've been reading google tutorials, and I finally come to this maze game. As a first project, I think it's not that bad. Why don't you discover this game yourself?</div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Greetings,</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As we're currently working on the establishment of our school website<b>, </b>I wanted to make sure that I put my suggestions on the table.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First of all, on the first page (the home page) only a welcome message should be displayed. This welcome message will informations about the website and/or the school as whole such as:</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Historical informations about the high school (when was it established, past directors etc.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ways to contact the administration (phone numbers and so on)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hosters of the website and its administrators</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Purpose of the creation of the website</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> etc</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The home page should be well designed along with using a <span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">sophisticated</span> <span class="hps">linguistic</span> <span class="hps">style.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Now moving to the web pages-- I've been thinking about creating those web pages as they seemed, in my opinion, important:</span></span></span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>STAFF: </b>This web page will be divided in two: <i>"School Administration Staff" </i>and <i>"Website Staff" </i>or <i>"Website Administrators"</i>. School Administration Staff will contain the headmaster, administration officials that deals with access cards, nursing officer, school director. The roster of Website Administrators will, as the title says, contain the list of website administrators and hosters.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>INFORMATION CENTER: </b>Any announcement, whether issued by the school director or any other entity, should be posted on the web page. An example of this announcements is the CSS week and before-CSS week.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>CONTACT US: </b>A web page where all the ways on how to contact any school official entity will be posted in there.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>FAQ: </b>"<i>FAQ</i>" is an abbreviation of the word frequently asked questions. Surely, you or your parent will have questions on mind but they can't find answers. Well this section will solve it all. If anyone has any questions, he will almost find the answers in there.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>CLUBS: </b>This web page diverges into<i> </i>X amount of sections <i>depending on the number of clubs we have</i>. For example if we have a Handball Club and a Radio Club then it will be diverged into two sections. Each club section will contain informations on how to join this club, and news related to it so that the public gets updated with anything that occurs.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"> <b>STUDENT LIFE: </b>Students will get the chance to write anything they want there, or write anything that they faced on a certain day or period. This web page can have a post verification option so that any post in there will need to be approved by an Administrator to avoid the use of a offensive language(s).</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>ALBUMS: </b>Album of photos reated to the school</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>PARENT ZONE: </b>A section designed for parents who have any questions or inquiries of if they want to share something.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>NEWS & EVENTS: </b>Title says it all. Any event or any news will need to be published in here.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b>SCHOOL PRESS:</b> I guess we should have a school press so why not having Press Releases section? it'd be wonderful!</span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"> </span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"> </span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Oh and yeah, we should make sure that NO COPYRIGHTS are being violated. The common violations are the use of other entity(ies) Graphics without the owner(s) approval(s).</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Those are just few ideas. I will update this post when I have more!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Thank-you. </span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps"><b> </b></span></span></span><b><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></b></div>
