Car AccidentP o i n t o f v i e w

A traffic collision, also known as a traffic accident, motor vehicle collision, motor vehicle accident, car accident, automobile accident, road traffic collision, or car crash, occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris r, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree or utility poles.

Traffic collisions may result in injury, death, vehicle damage, and property damage.Nearly 1,139 people have died and 11,618 injured in road accidents in 2012 in the Sultanate of Oman, according to Royal Oman Police a majority of those killed and injured were in the 26 to 50 years age group. Speeding was the cause of most accidents, resulting in 595 deaths and 5,424 injuries in 4,328 accidents. Wrong overtaking caused 175 deaths and 908 injuries from 384 accidents in 2012, Vehicle defects led 260 accidents leaving 55 dead and 413 injured while bad roads killed 12 and injured 136 people in 105 accidents,. Rash driving and miscalculation cause 2,330 accidents leading to 235 deaths and 3,521 injuries. As many official said in Oman. “If accidents continue to rise, hospitals might not be able to provide proper treatment to every patient.”

A number of factors contribute to the risk of collision, including vehicle design, speed of operation, road design, road environment, driver skill and/or impairment, and driver behavior. Worldwide motor vehicle collisions lead to death and disability as well as financial costs to both society and the individuals involved.


Human factors in vehicle collisions include all

factors related to drivers and other road users

that may contribute to a collision. Examples

include driver behavior, visual and auditory acuity,

decision-making ability, and reaction speed.

A survey of drivers in one of the European

countries drivers found that most thought they

were better than average drivers; a contradictory

result showing overconfidence in their abilities.

The feeling of being confident in more and more

challenging situations is experienced as evidence

of driving ability, and that ‘proven’ ability reinforces

the feelings of confidence. Confidence feeds itself

and grows unchecked until something happens – a

near-miss or an accident.

Another survey concluded drivers are very

safety-conscious relative to other European drivers.

However, this does not translate to significantly

lower crash rates

Accompanying changes to road designs have

been wide-scale adoptions of rules of the road

alongside law enforcement policies that included

drink-driving laws, setting of speed limits, and

speed enforcement systems such as speed

camera. Some countries driving tests have been

expanded to test a new driver’s behavior during

emergencies, and their hazard perception.

Conversely, a location that does not look

dangerous may have a high crash frequency. This

is, in part, because if drivers perceive a location

as hazardous, they take more care. Accidents may

be more likely to happen when hazardous road or

traffic conditions are not obvious at a glance, or

where the conditions are too complicated for the

limited human machines to perceive and react

in the time and distance available. (This fact can

be used to improve safety, by putting up signs in

accident-prone locations, like ones stated above.)

In final note, accidents investigation is the key

factor in solving vehicle’s accidents in Oman and

in anywhere. This build up the statistical data for

analyzing the main causes and contributing causes

of accidents. Clearing the site after the accident

and cleaning the roads and mobilizing the victims

to hospitals will not solve the problem. Enhancing

the knowledge by campaigning and raising

awareness of the roads accidents will help people

to increase their knowledge and may reduce the

accident rate but it will not close the issue. Only

taking the investigation matter after each accident

seriously by mitigating all the factors contributing

the accident. Data gathering with comprehensive

study with effective analysis in our own source of

stopping the death in our roads.

Gibran Kahlil Gibran

Khalil Gibran (full Arabic name Gibran Khalil Gibran

(January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese artist,

poet, and writer.

Born in the town of Bsharri in the north of modern-day

Lebanon (then part of Ottoman Mount Lebanon), as a

young man he immigrated with his family to the United

States, where he studied art and began his literary

career, writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab

world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel.

His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance

in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry,

breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he

is still celebrated as a literary hero.

He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his

1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational

fiction including a series of philosophical essays written

in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a

cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s.

Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind

Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu

Life

Early years

Gibran Khalil Gibran was born into a Maronite Catholic

family from the historical town of Bsharri in northern

Mount Lebanon, then a semi-autonomous part of the

Ottoman Empire. His mother Kamila, daughter of a

priest, was thirty when he was born; his father Khalil

was her third husband. As a result of his family’s poverty,

Gibran received no formal schooling during his youth

in Lebanon. However, priests visited him regularly and

taught him about the Bible, as well as the Arabic and

Syriac languages.

Gibran’s father initially worked in an apothecary, but

with gambling debts he was unable to pay, he went to

work for a local Ottoman-appointed administrator.

Around 1891, extensive complaints by angry subjects

led to the administrator being removed and his staff

being investigated. Gibran’s father was imprisoned for

embezzlement, and his family’s property was confiscated

by the authorities. Kamila Gibran decided to follow her

brother to the United States. Although Gibran’s father

was released in 1894, Kamila remained resolved and left

for New York on June 25, 1895, taking Khalil, his younger

sisters Mariana and Sultana, and his elder half-brother

Peter (in Arabic, Butrus).

The Gibrans settled in Boston’s South End, at the time the

second-largest Syrian-Lebanese-American communityin

the United States. Due to a mistake at school, he was

registered as “Kahlil Gibran”. His mother began working

as a seamstress peddler, selling lace and linens that

she carried from door to door. Gibran started school

on September 30, 1895. School officials placed him in a

special class for immigrants to learn English. Gibran also

enrolled in an art school at a nearby settlement house.

Through his teachers there, he was introduced to the

avant-garde Boston artist, photographer, and publisher

Fred Holland Day, who encouraged and supported Gibran

in his creative endeavors. A publisher used some of

Gibran’s drawings for book covers in 1898.

Gibran’s mother, along with his elder brother Peter,

wanted him to absorb more of his own heritage rather

than just the Western aesthetic culture he was attracted

to. Thus, at the age of fifteen, Gibran returned to his

homeland to study at a Maronite-run preparatory school

and higher-education institute in Beirut, called “al-Hikma”

(The Wisdom). He started a student literary magazine with

a classmate and was elected “college poet”. He stayed

there for several years before returning to Boston in

1902, coming through Ellis Island (a second time) on May

10. Two weeks before he returned to Boston, his sister

Sultana died of tuberculosis at the age of 14. The year

after, Peter died of the same disease and his mother

died of cancer. His sister Marianna supported Gibran and

herself by working at a dressmaker’s shop.

Personal Life

Gibran was an accomplished artist, especially in drawing

and watercolor, having attended art school in Paris from

1908 to 1910, pursuing a symbolist and romantic style

over the then up-and-coming realismGibran held his

first art exhibition of his drawings in 1904 in Boston, at

Day’s studio. During this exhibition, Gibran met Mary

Elizabeth Haskell, a respected headmistress ten years

his senior. The two formed an important friendship that

lasted the rest of Gibran’s life. Though publicly discreet,

their correspondence reveals that the two were lovers. In

fact, Gibran twice proposed to her but marriage was not

possible in the face of her family’s conservatism

Haskell influenced not only Gibran’s personal life, but also

his career. She became his editor, and introduced him to

Charlotte Teller, a journalist, and Emilie Michel (Micheline),

a French teacher, who accepted to pose for him as a

model and became close friends. In 1908, Gibran went to

study art in Paris for two years. While there he met his art

study partner and lifelong friend Youssef Howayek. While

most of Gibran’s early writings were in Arabic, most of his

work published after 1918 was in English. His first book

for the publishing company Alfred A. Knopf, in 1918, was

The Madman, a slim volume of aphorisms and parables

written in biblical cadence somewhere between poetry

and prose. Gibran also took part in the New York Pen

League, also known as the “immigrant poets” (al-mahjar),

alongside important Lebanese-American authors such as

Ameen Rihani, Elia Abu Madi and Mikhail Naimy, a close

friend and distinguished master of Arabic literature, whose

descendants Gibran declared to be his own children, and

whose nephew, Samir, is a godson of Gibran’s.

Death

Gibran died in New York City on April 10, 1931, at the

age of 48. The causes were cirrhosis of the liver and

tuberculosis. The young emigrant from Lebanon who

came through Ellis Island in 1895 never became an

American citizen; he loved his birthplace too much.

Before his death, Gibran expressed the wish that he be

buried in Lebanon. This wish was fulfilled in 1932, when

Mary Haskell and her sister Mariana purchased the Mar

Sarkis Monastery in Lebanon, which has since become

the Gibran Museum. Written next to Gibran’s grave are

the words “a word I want to see written on my grave: I am

alive like you, and I am standing beside you. Close your

eyes and look around, you will see me in front of you”.

Gibran willed the contents of his studio to Mary Haskell.

There she discovered her letters to him spanning twenty-

three years. She initially agreed to burn them because

of their intimacy, but recognizing their historical value

she saved them. She gave them, along with his letters to

her which she had also saved, to the University of North

Carolina at Chapel Hill Library before she died in 1964.

Excerpts of the over six hundred letters were published

in “Beloved Prophet” in 1972.

Mary Haskell Minis (she wed Jacob Florance Minis in

1923) donated her personal collection of nearly one

hundred original works of art by Gibran to the Telfair

Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia in 1950. Haskell

had been thinking of placing her collection at the Telfair

as early as 1914. In a letter to Gibran, she wrote “I am

thinking of other museums ... the unique little Telfair

Gallery in Savannah, Ga., that Gari Melchers chooses

pictures for. There when I was a visiting child, form burst

upon my astonished little soul.” Haskell’s gift to the Telfair

is the largest public collection of Gibran’s visual art in the

country, consisting of five oils and numerous works on

paper rendered in the artist’s lyrical style, which reflects

the influence of symbolism. The future American royalties

to his books were willed to his hometown of Bsharri, to be

“used for good causes”.

Out of the rolling ocean the crowd

By

Walt Whitman

Out of the rolling ocean the crowd came a drop gently

to me,

Whispering, I love you, before long I die,

I have travell’d a long way merely to look on you to touch

you,

For I could not die till I once look’d on you,

For I fear’d I might afterward lose you.

Now we have met, we have look’d, we are safe,

Return in peace to the ocean my love,

I too am part of that ocean, my love, we are not so much

separated,

Behold the great rondure, the cohesion of all, how perfect!

But as for me, for you, the irresistible sea is to separate

us,

As for an hour carrying us diverse, yet cannot carry us

diverse forever;

Be not impatient – a little space – know you I salute the

air, the ocean and the land,

Every day at sundown for your dear sake, my love.

Food FightBy

Kenn Nesbitt

We’d never seen the teachers

in a state of such distress.

The principal was yelling

that the lunchroom was a mess.

It started off so innocent

when someone threw a bun,

but all the other kids decided

they should join the fun.

It instantly turned into

an enormous lunchroom feud,

as students started hurling

all their halfway-eaten food.

A glob went whizzing through the air,

impacting on the wall.

Another chunk went sailing out

the doorway to the hall.

The food was splattered everywhere—

the ceilings, walls, and doors.

A sloppy, gloppy mess was on

the tables and the floors.

And so our good custodian

ran out to grab his mop.

It took him half the afternoon

to clean up all the slop.

The teachers even used some words

we’re not supposed to mention.

And that’s how all the kids and teachers

wound up in detention.

There is a new cook in the cafeteriaBy

Bruce Lansky

Good morning, staff and students.

We have a brand new cook.

And that’s why our lunch menu

will have a brand new look.

To make a good impression,

our cook’s prepared a treat:

your choice of snapping turtle soup

or deep-fried monkey meat.

If you’re a vegetarian,

we have good news today:

she’s serving pickled cauliflower

and jellyfish soufflé.

And for dessert our cook has made

a recipe from France:

I’m sure you’ll all want seconds—

of chocolate-covered ants.

I hope you like this gourmet feast.

I hope you won’t complain.

But if you do we’ll have to bring

our old cook back again.

Today I had a rotten day

By

Bruce Lansky

Don’t eat school lunches—

not even a lick.

They might make you nauseous.

They might make you sick.

Just take a small bite and

you’ll start to feel ill.

If the veggies don’t get you,

the meatloaf sure will.
