He lived a very simple and unpretentious as the President and the faculty as a lecturer. Ahmadinejad was born October 28, 1956 in the village of Aradan, Semnan Province, Iran.

Ahmadinejad was the son of a blacksmith, his family moved to Tehran when he was one year old. He graduated from the University of science and technology (IUST) Iran with a doctorate in engineering and planning of traffic and transport. 

In 1980, he was the Chief Representative of IUST students ' associations, and to engage in the establishment of an Office for the Pereratan Union (list-e tahkim-e vahdat), a student organization that was behind the capture of the Embassy of the United States led to the Iran hostage crisis.

After the war, he served as Vice Governor and Governor of Maku and Khoy, Advisor to the Minister of culture and Islamic teachings, and Governor of Ardabil province from 1993 to October 1997.

Ahmadinejad then elected as Mayor of Tehran in May 2003. In the course of his duties, he is restoring many of the changes made to the previous Mayor-the Mayor of a more moderate and reformist, and concerned with religious values in activities of cultural centres. In addition, he has also become something of a Manager in the daily Hamshahri and fired the editor, Mohammad Atrianfar, on June 13, 2005, a few days before the presidential election, because it did not support him in the elections.

2.He observed that there is enormous room to accept and respect the VIP guests, and then he ordered to close down the space and ask the precedence to replace it with a regular room with two simple wooden chairs, though still look impresive.

3.On many occasions he was communicating with a janitor around the home and Office of his presidency.

4.under his leadership, when he asked his ministers to come up to him and the Ministers will receive a document that contains a signed referral the referral of it, especially once emphasized his ministers to keep life simple and mentioned that a personal account or relatives nearby will be supervised, so that at the time the Minister ended his tenure can leave his Office with his head upright.

6.his salary as a professor at a University is only worth about US $ 250.

7.The President still living at his home.

Only that he has as a President of a country that is important both strategically, economically, politically, not to mention for oil and defense. In fact he did not take his salary, the reason is that all the welfare State and he is on duty to guard it.

would rather

Would Rather - Structure

The form would rather is a little strange because 'rather' is not a verb but is part of an expression that means 'would prefer to'. 'Rather' is usually immediately followed by a verb in base form (verb without 'to'). It's common to use would rather in the shortened 'd rather form in positive statements. All subjects take 'would rather'. Would rather can be used to refer to the present moment or a future moment in time. 

Positive

Subject + would rather ('d rather) + base form of verb

Peter'd rather spend time on the beach.
I would rather learn a new language than study math.

Question

Would + subject + rather + base form of verb

Would Rather - Than

Would rather is often used with 'than' with two verbs or objects when making a choice between two specific actions.

Would you rather work for Tom than for Mary?
She would rather play tennis than go horseback riding.

Would Rather - For Other People

How to Make Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 5 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt1

Method 1 of 2: Using an Ice Cream Maker

1. 
   In a medium saucepan, heat up the milk, sugar and salt. On a chopping board, use a paring knife to scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean carefully. Add these seeds to the milk, with the scraped bean pod. Take the saucepan off the heat, cover with a lid, and allow infusing for at least an hour.
   • You can tell if a vanilla bean is good quality by smelling it. You should be able to smell the vanilla. Don't be fooled by the plumpness of the bean -- a plump bean doesn't automatically equal more flavor, it may just have a high water content.
   • If the bean smells smoky, this means the bean was not left to dry out properly, rather it was quickly flash dried over a fire. If this is the case, the vanilla beans are probably not of a high quality.
2. 
   Chill the cream. Next, you will need to chill the heavy cream in an ice bath. You can make an ice bath by filling a large bowl halfway with icy water. Place a smaller bowl into the water, into which you will strain the cream. Let the heavy cream sit in the ice bowl until cooled.
3. 
   Make the custard. In a large, clean bowl, whisk the egg yolks until combined. Take the vanilla-infused milk mixture and warm it up again. Once it is warm, gradually stir it into the bowl with the egg yolks, adding a little at a time and whisking constantly to combine. Once all the milk has been combined with the yolks, pour this mixture back into the saucepan.
   • Place the saucepan on a low heat and stir the custard constantly. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the saucepan with a spoon or spatula to prevent any of the mixture from sticking. When the custard forms a light coat on the back of the spoon or spatula, it is ready.
   • Depending on how rich you want your custard to be, you can add up to three more egg yolks.
4. 
   Combine the custard with the heavy cream. Pour the custard mixture through the strainer, into the heavy cream in the ice bath. Remove the strainer and stir to combine. When the mixture has cooled fully, add in the vanilla extract, cover the bowl, and place in the refrigerator. Leave for several hours or overnight, if possible.
   • There are three main types of vanilla extract: Bourbon, Tahitian and Mexican. Each has a slightly different flavor. Bourbon vanilla is from Madagascar and has a strong, bold flavor; Tahitian vanilla is floral, while real Mexican vanilla is creamy-tasting, with a pronounced flavor.
   • Always use a vanilla essence with an alcohol base. The alcohol, even if burned off during cooking, enhances the flavor of the vanilla extract.
   • For a lighter custard, you can replace the heavy cream with half-and-half. Just be aware that your ice cream will turn out less smooth as a result.
5. 
   Remove the ice cream custard from the refrigerator. Remove the vanilla bean and spoon the mixture into your ice cream maker. From this point, you can follow the manufacturer's instructions to find out how to freeze the ice cream mixture in your particular machine.
6. 
   Serve or store. Serve your homemade vanilla ice cream straight from the ice cream maker or store in an airtight container in the freezer to create a firmer ice cream.
   • Vanilla ice cream is the perfect accompaniment to homemade fruit pies and warm chocolate cakes.
   • It also makes a delicious dessert served on its own, covered in chocolate or caramel sauce and toasted pecans or almonds.
