Chinese takeaway becomes sensation for its savage responses to customer reviews
Alice Cheung, 50, who tries to reply to the majority of reviews for her Oriental Express takeaway in Pudsey 'personally', pulls no punches when responding to some of the “sillier” reviews
A Chinese takeaway boss has become an internet sensation for her savage responses to disgruntled customers.
In one exchange the restaurant owner told a dissatisfied client: "We are good but mind reading the stupid is not one of our skills."
Business owner, Alice Cheung, 50, who tries to reply to the majority of reviews “personally”, pulls no punches when it comes to responding to some of the “sillier” reviews.
Her Oriental Express eatery in Pudsey, West Yorks, holds a five-star rating on Just Eat and most of its 148 reviews praise the food.
But those who have dared criticised the restaurant have faced the full wrath of the owner, Leeds Live reports.
🔷Pablo Picasso said the ethnic primitivism evoked in him "to liberate an utterly original artistic style of compelling,even savage force”. Pablo Picasso viewed this Fang Ngil mask from Gabon in Paris in 1906 and after that,from 1906 to 1909, he worked extensively in a style strongly influenced by African sculpture.Its called Picasso's Afro period and his masterpice "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" is the best example.
The Ngil mask originated from an agrarian/hunting group,Fang people in Gabon,Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon in Africa.They are crafted from wood,covered with a white clay,with an oval shape,elongated chin and nose.

Birthplace of Memorial Day? It’s Complicated
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON
Memorial Day originated after the Civil War, an effort to reconcile after a nation’s most savage years. But where?
His interest in the development, or evolution, of social institutions culminated in Morgan's most famous work, Ancient Society (1877). He recognized three stages in the cultural evolution of man: savagery, barbarism, and civilization. Savagery and barbarism are divided into lower, middle, and upper stages. These stages are defined in terms of means of subsistance or technological inventions. Thus, savagery was preagricultural, barbarism was marked by pottery and agriculture, and civilization arose with the invention of writing.

lycanthrope
Pronunciation: /ˈlʌɪk(ə)nˌθrəʊp/
Definition of lycanthrope
noun
Origin:
early 17th century: from modern Latin lycanthropus, from Greek lukanthrōpos 'wolf man' (see lycanthropy)werewolf
also wer·wolf n.
A person believed to have been transformed into a wolf or to be capable of assuming the form of a wolf.
WORD HISTORY The wolf in werewolf is current English; the were is not. Werewulf, “werewolf,” occurs only once in Old English, about the year 1000, in the laws of King Canute: “lest the madly ravenous werewolf too savagely tear or devour too much from a godly flock.” The wer– or were– in wer(e)wulf means “man”; it is related to Latin vir with the same meaning, the source of virile and virility. Both the Germanic and the Latin words derive from Indo-European *wīro–, “man.” Wer– also appears, though much disguised, in the word world. World is first recorded (written wiaralde) in Old English in a charter dated 832; the form worold occurs in Beowulf. The Old English forms come from Germanic *wer-ald–, “were-eld” or “man-age.” The transfer of meaning from the age of humans to the place where they live has a parallel in the Latin word saeculum, “age, generation, lifetime,” later “world.”
