What is The World's Largest Pizza Chain With Over 16,000 Locations Worldwide?

Pizza Hut is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, and is the world’s largest pizza company with nearly 16,000 restaurants in more than 86 countries and territories worldwide. Pizza Hut was founded in June 1958 by two Wichita State University students, brothers Dan and Frank Carney, as a single location in Wichita, Kansas. The brothers borrowed $600 from their mother and opened a pizza restaurant catering to students after a local real estate agent with an unrented building convinced them that pizza would be a promising business. By 1977, Pizza Hut had grown to 4,000 outlets and the brothers decided to sell the business to PepsiCo for over $300 million. Frank remained the president and a board member of Pizza Hut until 1980.

Let's all enjoy pizza today!

a) Hypermnesic Dreams
Hypermnesic dreams are those dreams where the dreamer dreams of something that he or she has not experienced in real life and later to amazement finds that it exists.
Example
A musical composer dreams of a musical composition and later to his astonishment finds that such a composition exists.
In hypermnesic dreams the intuitionary power of the dream borders on the psychic and transcends the normal realm of the senses.

b) Stimuli Reciprocal Dreams
Stimuli reciprocal dreams occur when the dreamer is in contact with an external object and it stimulates a dream in the dreamer.
Example
A dreamer who was sleeping with a hot water bottle under his neck had a dream of being caught on fire.

c) Prophetic Dreams
Prophetic dreams occur as dream symbols and point out to a reality that will occur in the future.
Example
Let’s take the Old Testament of the Bible and the dream interpretation that occurred to Joseph. Joseph was incarcerated by the Pharaoh for a crime that he did not commit. The Pharaoh had a dream where saw seven bovine creatures and seven stout grains of corn and then he saw seven famished bovine creatures eating them up. Joseph interpreted this dream as the occurrence of famine in Egypt and the need to store grain. Joseph for his power of dream interpretation was promoted to the ranks of a minister.

d) Somatic Dreams
Somatic dreams occur from the stimulus of the body and they point out to the coming forth of major illness.
Example
A dreamer dreams of falling unconscious all the time. It later on happened in the life of the dreamer that he became afflicted with Epilepsy.

Hallucinatory Dreams
Hallucinatory dreams take place when the dream symbols become exaggerated and out of place with a happening reality.
Example
Once I dreamed of a painting though I could never draw. I saw whole group of agitated people standing on the hull of a ship and they were all blind and crying out. The ship was floating on a sea of eyes. Hallucinatory dreams can also have symbolic connotations.

Libidinal Dreams
Libidinal dreams are s*xual in nature and they show the manifestation of s*xual desires.
Example
I had a dream where I had collection of tame elephants in the terrace of my house. In the dream, it was night and a Wild Elephant came up to me and it was very disturbed. I pacified it and took it to the herd of elephants which I grew. The Wild Elephant is an expression of my chaotic and untamed libido and the dream was an explanation that I was taming it and sublimating it through writing that is literature.

Therapeutic Dreams
Therapeutic dreams are self healing dreams and they point out to the cathartic cleansing of the EGO.
Example
I had a lover who ditched me and who later died in an accident. I became extremely grieved and tried dreaming of her but luck failed me. And then I had a marvelous dream. I dreamed that I was sitting beside her stroking, fondling and kissing her and talking affectionately to her.

Ladies, its time to stop sending conflicting messages and sort out the hair pulling issue for once and for all. A lot of guys are uncertain whether it will be appreciated or not. Obviously its not cool to just pull the hair of a stranger on public transport for no reason, but if you have a nice meal of fish and chips, and things are going well, the conversation is flowing, at what point do you like your partner to grab a big handful of your hair and give it a good pull?

Within 50 years or less all the world great reefs will be gone...
WHY???



Global-warming,what are the effects..

Are we still denying the truth ???

The the polo ice-caps are still melting...




There was once a man who thought he could fly
He jumped out a building of twenty storys high from the top floor.
On the way down some-one heard him saying from the 10 th. floor saying So far So good.

I was listening to a Sermon on the Biblical Book of the Hebrews. The speaker was saying that the author was unknown. But again he reiterated that Biblical scholars by careful examination of the language, the use of figurative devices, and the eloquence of language all attribute the book of Hebrews to ST. Paul. I would like to use to my literary critical terms to the entire theology of ST. Paul and they are Semantic Massacre and Semanticide. Let’s examine the scripture of ST. Paul: “It’s not the eloquence of language but it’s by the grace of God that we are sustained. The semantic meaning of language is obliterated and magnified to a spiritual plane of existence. In the Philosophy of Post Modernism this would be a structural oblivion as the presence of Being God in the meaning of thought would be a semantic absence. Please refer to the Philosophy of Derrida’s Deconstruction for more clarification. By massacring the semantics of meaning, the killing of the literal meaning for a spiritual one, the great Philosopher and Saint Paul is indulging in the ritual of Semanticide. Semanticide comes from two words Semantics (meaning) and cide (Killing).

December 25th, 1776

Today in American History is the day that General George Washington crossed the half frozen Delaware River with 5,400 troops to overtake Hessian forces celebrating Christmas in their Trenton, New Jersey winter quarter's.
Three divisions crossed the icy river that night, two of the divisions (approx . 3,000 troops) with crucial artillary failed to reached the meeting point on other side of the river.

At approximately 8:00 a.m. on the morning of the 26th General Washington's remaining 2,400 men split into two colums, reached the outskirts of Trenton and descended on the unsuspecting Hessian's still groggy from the festivities from the night before.

A few hundred Hessian had escaped but over 1,000 had been captured. All this with only the loss of 4 American Patriots lives.

Unfortunately without the help of the artillary units that never showed, General Washington was unable to hold the city.

Although this victory played no significant role strategically in the American Revolution, as word spread of Washington's success at Trenton so were the American Colonist spirit.

God Bless General Washington and his men and God Bless America

for some reason , i thought that rum and coke will be a good idea -after the fifth drink i thought that dying my eyebrows makes sense ...now that Im sober, i realise that it was a brilliant idea ,why haven't i thought about it earlier ...before i shaved them off ...

does anyone of you have a experience with changing the color of your eyebrows ,or mustaches, perhaps?

So I just happened to see that a couple of brothers are the first Bitcoin billionaires...

There has been alot of talk about bitcoin lately around work so I was curious and researched this so called currency.

No bank controls bitcoin, no corporation controls bitcoin, no country controls bitcoin, you can't exchange it for hard cash but can purchase items with it if someone is willing to accept it as currency,

IT ISN'T FDIC insured, in fact it isn't insured at all.

And here is the real kicker, it has plummeted in value over 80% more than once I believe.

Am I slow or missing something here? I smell a scam, does anyone else smell a scam? Or is it possible that I'm just missing something here?

I posted an early version of this several years ago and since then we have a lot of new members so I updated it to reflect certain major developments.

New York City is flush with Con Artists, it has been a Mecca for these types for about a hundred years or more. People who live in NYC or grew up there, like me, have developed a detection mechanism that alerts them when they are being exposed to "ConSpeak". Alarm bells go off in their brain.

A common characteristic of ConSpeak, is to start, but not finish, a sentence. The idea is to allow the listeners brain to finish the sentence with what the Con Artist wants to implant. In this way, the listener adopts the idea as their own, like adopting a child and protecting it like your own flesh and blood no matter what. An experienced Con artist does this unconsciously and their dialog is often peppered with this vocal trick. It becomes their basic speech pattern. Another benefit to this trick is if things go bad the Con Artist can always say “I never said that.”

Another characteristic of "ConSpeak" is repetition of phraseology. The idea is to embed a sentence with a phrase and repeat it 2-3 times so, while the listener may forget the whole sentence, he remembers the phrase.
If you want to hear a classic example of "ConSpeak" which uses both characteristics, just listen to how Donald Trump speaks. He is a master of the art. If somebody asks later "What did he say"? you don't remember anything but the phrase. When I listen to Trump speak, I'm squirming in my seat, my brain is flashing like a fire alarm.

A third characteristic of ConSpeak, is the excessive use of adjectives like Tremendous, Great, Fantastic, etc.

Another thing to watch out for is the phrase “Believe me” or “Trust me”. When someone utters either of these phrases it means they have hit a mental block in their spiel and found it necessary to employ a stalling tactic. This gives them a little time to think of what to say next. What usually follows is a repeat of something they've already said possibly several times but with added embellishments like great or fantastic thrown in to make it sound new.

An experienced, successful, Con Artist is very good at reading the body language of their prey. It is a common phenomenon that people tend to nod affirmatively and unconsciously when listening to anything that they believe or have been led to believe. The Con Artist will watch for this head movement while delivering his/her spiel. When they see it, they know they are succeeding in their ruse. Just look at the audience in a church broadcast on TV as the preacher speaks and you'll see a lot of head nodding going on.

People who live in less populated places who get by with hard work instead of trying to separate others from what they have, are much less able to detect this ruse when it's directed at them. Is it any wonder that the most infamous phantom sales item offered to the uninformed is the Brooklyn Bridge located in NYC? The deed to the Brooklyn Bridge (if there is one) would be covered in white out with all the names of the new owners.
