Saving Energy




Hi everyone,
While I was surfing on the internet, I found a very interesting site, it calls you to join them on their cause for saving energy.

You must have heard people talking about this matter many times before, but I doubt that it ever caught your interest or made you really change your habits or adapt new habits that would save energy.

This web site is REALLY different, it is very exciting and brings you to the core of the problem, it shows you how you by changing your habits and adapting new ones would change things in numbers. For instance, it shows you how much money you would save if you go to your work on a bike three days a week, it also tells you how much the equivalent energy saved by you can do in other fields (like charging your laptop or providing a hospital with energy).

The nicest thing in the site is the game, yes you can play a game where you have a city in 2015 and you have to provide it with enough energy, you get to choose between all sources: nuclear, hydro, natural gas, etc. Anyway, you have to watch out for three meters: Economic, Environmental and Security, you have to balance the three meters to get the highest score, it is really nice and will teach you something as well.

Go to the site here
To play the game choose energy ville.

47 million years old OMG !!






Hi everyone,
You must have heard of the evolution theory, that theory that suggests that creatures actually were mainly very primitve lives, which by time - I mean here millions of millions of years - evolved into creatures that you say all around.

This theory includes human beings !!. I believe it is silly because human has been created by Allah as human. He may have been bigger and different from now but surely he was a human.

Anyway, scientists have found a 47 million years old fossil that they claim as one of the early human ancestors - A phase on the evolution journey -
As I said earlier, I wouldn't take it that this fossil is one of my great great grand mothers as they say in the report. but surely, it is someone's else grand mother !!

The great thing about this fossil that it is perfectly preserved, you can see all the details of the body even some fur can be located !!
The great condition of the fossil - 95% compelete - can be justified by the fact that it was found in a place which is believed to have been a lake where gazes and liquids existed which helped preserving this fossil along with other thousand fossils of animals and fishes.


It is very interesting see a look at the BBC for more details .

الطنين



الطنين


سئمت من سماع الأغانى المتشابهة التى حفظتها عن ظهر قلب , كما أنى لا أريد أن استمع إلى نشرات الأخبار ، فلقد سمعتها عشرات المرات , هل استمع إلى إذاعة القرآن الكريم , لكنى لا أريد أن أنافق نفسى .
على أية حال , أدرت المؤشر دون أن أعلم إلى أين سأذهب به أو سيذهب بى . توقفت فجأة لأستمع لهذا الطنين المستمر الذى يتواجد بين المحطات . لأول مرة يجذب انتباهى .
أوقفت المؤشر , بدأت أنصت لهذا التناغم المثالى الذى لا يتوقف .
لماذا لا يهتم به أحد ؟ هل لأنه لا يمتلك صوتا ً خاصا ً به , أليست هذه " الوشوشة " صوتا ً مميزا ً , حتى و إن كان لا يمتلك صوتا ً خاصا ً
ربما يريد من كل ٍ منا أن يبنى محطته الخاصة فى هذا الفراغ ... فى هذا الصمت ذى الصوت العالى , أن يسمع فيها ما يحب و أن يقول فيها ما يريد , و ألا يترك كلام الأخرين يغزو عقله و كيانه أو يأسر روحه .
أردت أن أشعر الطنين أنى أفهمه , وأنى سأنفذ وصيته التى يصرخ بها و هو يتلاشى فى الفراغ . أطفأت أنوار الغرفة عدا نور الأباجورة , أسندت ظهرى للخلف , أغلقت عينى , و بدأت أنسج من هذا الطنين ثوب حياتى بكل ما فيه من مزقات و بكل ما عليه من أقذار .
عندما انتهيت أحضرت ورقة و قلم , و أخذت أرقع الثوب بالكلمات و الحروف , و انتزع الأوساخ بالصفات و النعوت .
لم أتوقف إلا بعد أن نفذ العمر من قلمى و اكتمل الكمال على ورقتى .
علقت حياتى الكاملة على الحائط , و بداخلى شعور بالرضا , و أنا
أضيىء الأنوار , و أعيد المؤشر لأقرب محطة لأستكمل حياتى بثوبى المرقع .
حقا ً , شكرا ً لك أيها الطنين .
