Dear readers,

Teaching is the most important profession in the world because teachers bear the weight and responsibility of teaching. They pass on knowledge and values to children, prepare them for further education and for working life and are main contributors to good education.

Through modeling the responsible ethical behavior expected of all educators, teachers give students at least one example of a positive adult role model in their lives.

If teachers are successful students most students will gain the academic and social skills needed to take them to the next level in life, whatever that may be.

Let’s show our appreciation for our teachers or educators by respecting them and thanking them for guiding us, inspiring us and making us what we are today.

Thank you teachers for all the hard work and efforts you have put in us. We will always be thankful and grateful to you for your support. Happy teacher’s day.

“Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.” Nikos Kazantzakis

Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) recently unveiled its Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team’s state-of-the-art Volvo Open 70 racing yacht

in Portofino, Northern Italy, as it charts a historic course to contest for top honours in the Volvo Ocean Race 2011/12.

The yacht - which was developed by the USA’s Farr Yacht Design and built by Italy’s Persico S.p.A, in Bergamo – is one of the most sophisticated ever constructed. Conceived in March 2010, it is the combination of more than 7,000 design and 49,000 build hours.

Emblazoned with a striking falcon, the national emblem of the United Arab Emirates of which Abu Dhabi city is the capital, soaring across its bow and main sails, the brilliant black yacht is tasked with carrying the 11-strong Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing through the nine-month, 39,000 nautical mile ‘Everest of Sailing’, which begins in Alicante, Spain this October.

“We have invested in the very best yacht design and build technology available to underpin the expertise of the highly-skilled Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team we have formed,” said His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman, ADTA and Team Principal, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing. “This level of commitment is a clear signal of our intention to deliver a first-class performance in our debut Volvo Ocean Race and in our podium ambitions.”

The yacht’s international debut, set against the spectacular backdrop of the Italian Riviera, was attended by VIPs from Volvo Ocean Race, the Mayor of Portofino and Official Team Partner, the luxury Swiss brand IWC Schaffhausen.

Adta State-of-the-art Volvo Ocean Race Yacht makes International Debut in Italy

Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing, which boasts one of the most international crews ever assembled since the Volvo Ocean Race began in 1973, will now undergo final training in Europe, having spent the winter in the UAE capital.

Over the last few months, the team - the first Volvo Ocean Race Arabian challenger - has been spread all over the globe with weather training in the USA, wind-tunnel sail testing in New Zealand, race practice in the UK and Hong Kong, as well as mast construction in Spain and yacht build in Italy.

The team - which is skippered by double-Olympic medallist, Ian Walker of Great Britain - has set its sight on a rigorous Atlantic Ocean sailing programme, before heading to the race start in Spain this October.

“To get to this stage has been a phenomenal international effort which has, in many ways, set new benchmarks. With just under three months to go until the start, we have a demanding time ahead yet with the full team assembled and our new yacht raring to go, we are more than ready to meet it head on,” said Walker.

Representing five continents, the outfit also boasts two UAE nationals – 22-year-old Olympian Adil Khalid, and 27-year-old Butti Al Muhairi – who beat off more than 120 hopefuls to earn their places on the sailing and shore teams respectively. Their participation will mark the first time an Emirati has competed in this ultimate endurance race.

The 2011/2012 Volvo Ocean Race will be contested around six continents and across four oceans before ending in Galway, Ireland, in summer 2012. Abu Dhabi will welcome teams from 1-14 January 2012 after they complete a punishing leg from Cape Town.

ADTA has committed to staging a fortnight-long, emirate-wide celebration to mark the Volvo Ocean Race arrival – from headline concerts and interactive race villages for the whole family to great holiday packages across Abu Dhabi’s plethora of 4- and 5-star resorts.

The emirate is well progressed with plans for a specially-designed 55,000m² ‘Destination Village’ being built on Abu Dhabi’s picturesque Corniche breakwater. The ‘Destination Village’ – which will be around the size of eight football pitches – will open free-of-charge to the public daily from December 30 this year to January 14, next year. ADTA anticipates welcoming more than 100,000 visitors through the gates.

The village will be highly interactive and will leverage the emirate’s rich maritime heritage. It will be packed with activities and entertainment including exhibitions, shows, simulators, hospitality, game zones, food & beverage outlets and merchandise shops.

The Volvo Open 70 racing yacht is sailed by professional athletes, who race around the world with the prevailing winds.

العالمة التجارية في مراكز »سنتربوينت«.

As one of the most charismatic actors of his generation, his mold-breaking personality was bound to lead him into some unusual

encounters. Gerard Butler has landed a new role and joined the family of Geneva-based fine watchmaker ROGER DUBUIS. Both of them are more into action than introspection, both approach their art headon, and both are driven by passion.

With an imposing physique to match his character and a volcanic temperament, Gerard Butler is one of the big screen’s leading personalities. Spotted early on, the Scottish actor came to movies by chance, but his charisma did the rest.

«Spartans, tonight we dine in hell!» The line from the trailer for the film “300” still resonates in the memory. It was declaimed by Gerard Butler, crowned King of Sparta in a Zack Snyder production. His charisma sweeps aside all in his path, which was unlucky for a million Persian soldiers at the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. The man doesn’t do things halfway. Before taking on the destiny of the Spartan King Leonidas, Gerard Butler was a lawyer - a profession rather than a vocation. It wasn’t long before he immersed himself in his passion for theater, where his talent was quickly recognized. One production followed another and the big screen gave him the room to express his confident and multitalented personality. Under no illusion that talent is rewarded through concessions and compromises, he throws himself completely into every role. And nothing stimulates him more than stretching himself and discovering new horizons.

So is it surprising that last year his attention was caught by a certain watch in a store window? Since that moment, Gerard Butler has kept the faith with Geneva watchmaker ROGER DUBUIS and enjoys showing off this watch that is so like him, one of the Warrior range from the Excalibur collection. Intrigued by this Maison that shared so many of his values, he sought to discover more.

The spell really took hold after a recent tour of the ROGER DUBUIS manufacture. “I’m blown away”, said Butler – who has seen many things in his time – on discovering the world of fine watchmaking

and its most arcane secrets. The innovation, passion and creativity at ROGER DUBUIS were what struck him most during his visit, where he had a glimpse of all stages in the watchmaking process, with every step performed in-house by the Geneva company.

Gerard Butler ended his tour with a long look at the Manufacture’s current models, particularly the Excalibur and La Monégasque collections.

As a friend of the ROGER DUBUIS brand, Gerard Butler intends to take an active role in spreading the word about the Swiss manufacture and introducing people to this unique world, bubbling in perpetual effervescence, where creativity and innovation rule. Deliberately extravagant, the future is bright for the Swiss Maison, which values boldness as much as it respects tradition.

ROGER DUBUIS CEO Georges Kern: «counting Gerard Butler among the brand’s friends is all the more special since this proximity is a natural fit with the world of ROGER DUBUIS. Gerard’s fire and powerful image resonate perfectly with the firm’s watches and will increase publicity amongst an audience who appreciate art and aesthetics.»

Gerard Butler happily admitted that «watchmaking is just like the cinema, it hides a precise mechanism which must then generate emotion. The world of ROGER DUBUIS, the arrival of its collections, like spaces of freedom, perfectly matches my principles. You need to take chances in life and always push yourself.»

Founded in 1995 and based in Geneva, ROGER DUBUIS stands out with its avant-garde watches made in limited production runs, meeting the most demanding quality standards. The quest for excellence, the long search for the right gesture, the development of unique skills are all constants of the Swiss Maison. Boldness and extravagance are the brand’s signatures, and determination its engine. Distributed worldwide through an exclusive sales network, its flagship collections are named Excalibur and La Monégasque. ROGER DUBUIS is the only watchmaker in the world to have all of its movements stamped with the Geneva Hallmark, a guarantee of fine craftmanship.

قالت سورة امللك لي : قبل أن أقول لك سبل النجاة هل كتبت ورقة بها الدين الذين عليك حتى يسددها الورثة عنك ?

عندما س��معت كلمة ) الورثة ( كانت هذه الكلمة ش��ديدة علي ودمعت عين��اي فقد تذكرت أهلي جميعا أمي وأبي وزوجتي وإخوتي وأبنائي يا ترى ما الذي حصل لهم من بعدي وكيف هم ?!! ابنتي س��ارة وإخوانها تذكرت انكسارهم وكيف أصبحوا أيتاما من بعدي من الذي سيرعاهم ومن الذي س��يقوم على مصاحلهم ?!! تذك��رت بنيتي الصغيرة عندما قالت : أريد كاكاو ماذا س��يقولون لها – عندما تس��أل عني – وكيف

سيقولون وكيف ستكون نفسيتها من بعدي !!زوجتي ماذا عملت من بعدي اآلن !! سيقال لها أرملة !! كيف ستتحمل

عبء أوالدي من بعدي !!تذكرت وتذكرت وتذكرت ودموعي تنهمر ونشيجي يعلو ..

قالت سورة امللك : كأنك تذكرت شئا ?!!قلت : نعم تذكرت أهلي وأبنائي ماذا سيعملون من بعدي .

قالت س��ورة امللك : لهم الله هو الذي خلقهم ورزقهم وهو الذي يتولى أمرهم .

كانت هذه الكلمات مبثابة املاء البارد على الظاميء فقلت في نفس��ي : بالفعل لهم الله وملاذا القلق !!

اس��تطردت بالفك��ر قليال ولم يقطع تفكيري إال زيادة حرارة جس��مي فقلت مباش��رة لس��ورة امللك : باالله عليك هل ل��ي أن أعلم كم الدين

الذي علي ?!!قالت س��ورة امللك : نعم لقد سألت امللك فأخبرني أنها ألفا وسبعمائة ري��ال ، األلف لصاحب لك يقال له : أبا حس��ن أما الس��بعمائة فهي

متفرقة ..قلت متعجبا : كيف متفرقة ?!!

قالت س��ورة امللك : أنت تساهلت بديون صغيرة منذ بلوغك فتراكمت عليك .

فقلت : ملن ?!!فقالت سورة امللك : خمس رياالت لبائع أغذية قد اشتريت منه طعاما لك ولم يكن معك نقود وعندما طلبها منك قلت له : س��أردها لك غدا هذا عندما كان عمرك خمس عش��رة س��نة واآلخر يعمل في مغس��لة املالبس غس��ل ثوبك وقلت له نفس كالمك الس��ابق وتس��اهلت حتى نس��يته واآلخر محل كذا ومحل كذا فعددت مح��الت أتذكرها واحدا تلو اآلخر ، ثم قالت : تس��اهلكم بالديون واستصغاركم لها سبب شقاء

الكثير منكم في قبورهم..ألم يحذركم الرس��ول محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم من الدين وأخبركم أن الش��هيد على جاللة قدره توقف أعماله بس��بب الدين ألم تعلم أن أحد أصحاب الرس��ول صلى الله عليه وس��لم على فضله أوقفه الدين

ولم نستطع أن نعمل له شيئا حتى سدد صاحبه الدين !!قلت برعب : إنا لله و إنا إليه راجعون وكيف اخلالص أرجوك فجسمي

سيتقطع أملا وحرارة .قالت سورة امللك : بأمور ثالثة .

قلت بعجل : ما هي ?!!قالت : إما أن يسامحك من عليه الدين .

قلت : الكثير منهم نس��ي كما نس��يت وال يعلمون مبوتي بل رمبا الكثير منهم ال يعرفني ونسيني ، لكن ما احلل اآلخر .

قالت : وإما أن يسدد عنك ورثتك .قلت : كيف سيعلمون بديني ومشكلتي أني لم أكتب ورقة حلقوق الناس

ألن املوت أتاني بغتة ولم أكن أتوقعه أو أحسب له أي حساب !!قال��ت س��ورة امللك : بقي أمر س��أحاول ل��ك به ولعل��ه يكون جناتك

وسأخبرك به بعد وقت إن شاء الله واآلن سأنصرف ..قلت : ال أرجوك ال تذهبي فانا أش��عر بوحش��ة شديدة وظلمة ورهبة

إضافة حلرارة جسمي التي تزداد ..قالت س��ورة امللك : لن أبتعد كثيرا فأنا س��أذهب ألجل احملاجة عنك

والبحث عن حل وبإذن الله ستكون جناتك .. فانصرفت ..

بقيت وحيدا مستوحشا في ظلمة وهم وغم فألهمت دعاء فقلت : ) يا من ال يأنس بش��ئ أبقاه ، وال يس��توحش من شئ أفناه ، ويا أنيس كل غري��ب ، ارحم في القبر غربتي ، وي��ا ثاني كل وحيد ، آنس في القبر

وحدتي ( لكني تذكرت أني في دار حساب ال عمل..ما هي إال حلظات حتى س��معت صوتا أعرفه إنه أبي احلنون وأسمعه يقول : السالم عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته قلت مباشرة بشغف : وعليكم السالم ورحمة الله وبركاته أهال بك يا أبي فعلمت أنه لن يسمعني ..

ث��م س��معته يق��ول : الله��م اغف��ر ل��ه الله��م ارحم��ه اللهم وس��ع مدخل��ه الله��م آن��س وحش��ته ث��م س��معته ينش��ج ويبك��ي ويقول وانص��رف عن��ه ف��ارض عن��ه راض إن��ي الله��م أحل��ه الله��م

الح ل��ي بالظ��الم – أثناء دعاء والدي – نور عظي��م فإذا هو ملك من مالئكة الرحمة يكتب دعاء والدي ولم يكلمني امللك بكلمة واحدة حتى انص��رف والدي فبق��ي قبري منيرا والتفت لي املل��ك وقال : إن دعاء والدك س��يرفع للس��موات العلى وبإذن العلي القدير سيجيبه الله ألن

دعاء الوالد لولده مستجاب ..ياالله متنيت أن يطيل أبي الوقوف على قبري ويس��تمر بالدعاء لي ألن

أثر دعائه وجدته في قبري بل وعلى نفسي ..قلت للملك : هل لي أن أسألك سؤاال ?!!

قال : وما هو ?قلت : منذ متى وأنا ميت وما هو الوقت اآلن ?!!

قال : أنت ميت من ثالثة أيام واآلن وقت صالة الظهر ..تعجبت بش��دة وقلت س��بحان الل��ه كل هذه األحداث ف��ي هذه املدة

القصيرة ?!وكل هذه الظلمة التي أجدها في قبري ونحن وقت الظهيرة !!

قال امللك : الزال الطريق أمامك طويال أعانك الله عليه ..لم أمتالك نفس��ي فبكيت وبكيت بكاء ال أذكر بحياتي أني بكيت مثله ،

وقلت في نفسي : سبحان الله كم كنت غافال عن مثل هذا ..انصرف امللك وهو يقول سيس��تمر النور في قبرك إلى أن يش��اء الله

بفضل الله ثم دعاء والدك ..كانت زيارة أبي مؤنس��ة لي ومتني��ت أن يزورني كل أقاربي ومتنيت أن

يقف على قبري أصحابي ..متنيت أن يسمع والدي صوتي فأقول : يا أبي أرجوك سدد الدين الذي في ذمتي أرجوك تصدق عني أرجوك ادع الله لي .. لكن ما السبيل بأن

يسمع صوتي وتذكرت قوله تعالى ) وحيل بينهم وبني ما يشتهون (ش��عرت بحرارة جسمي كأنها تهدأ ولكنها تزداد أحيانا فظننت أن هذا

له عالقة بزيارة والدي ولكن األمر لم يكن كذلك بل ألمر آخر ..م��ا هي إال حلظات حت��ى الح لي نور أعرفه إنها س��ورة امللك قالت :

عندي لك بشارتان.قلت بسرعة : ما هي ?

قال��ت األولى : صاحبك الذي يطلبك األلف ري��ال تذكر دينك ثم قال : اللهم إني عفوت عنه محتس��با األجر م��ن الله ولم يطلبها من أهلك فتهل��ل وجه��ي فرحا ثم قلت : احلمد لله رمبا هذا س��بب أن احلرارة

خفت قليال علي ..وما البشارة األخرى ?

قالت : لقد س��ألت الله لك كثيرا لكن حقوق اآلدميني مش��كلة ، وقد أرس��ل لك ملك موكل بالرؤى واألحالم وهو س��يأتي أحد أقاربك في

املنام برموز لعلهم يفهمون دينك ..تفاجأت بهذا اخلبر فسكتت متعجبا ..

قالت سورة امللك : من برأيك يأتيه امللك في املنام ?فكرت بأمي وعلمت أنها لو رأتني باملنام فس��تبكي علي ولن تفس��رها ففكرت بأقاربي فتذكرت أقرب الناس لي بعد والدي وهي أيضا مهتمة

بالرؤى واألحالم .. إنها زوجتي الوفية احملبة لي ..قلت : زوجتي زوجتي هي التي أمتنى أن ترى هذه الرؤيا ..

قالت س��ورة امللك : س��أخبر امللك أس��أل الله أن يعجل فرجك ويحل كربتك..

It is noticeable when reading “the secret” book that there is a similarity between the “the secret” book and religious books from the

application of the law of attraction aspect.

I came with a hypothesis that is the religious books interpreted how the law of attraction works. And a prediction that is the secret “The Law of Attraction” is within the religious books.

This research is based on literature observations and tests.

The next paragraphs show some of the secret book concepts and similar verses from Quran and bible.

The secret of money in Quran and BibleThe secret:

Giving is a powerful action to bring more money into your life, because when you are giving you are saying, “I have plenty”. It will not be surprising to you to learn that the wealthiest people on the planet are the greatest philanthropists. They give away vast amounts of money, and as they give, by the law of attraction, the Universe opens up and floods vast amounts of money back to them-multiplied.

The Qur’an:

Surah 2 _ al-Baqarah

261. The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed (of grain) which grows seven spikes, in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies (His reward) for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

The Bible:

Proverbs 28:27

- Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but one who turns a blind eye will get many a curse.

In Qur’anand Bible

Mariam Shehab

Proverbs 22:9

- Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.

Psalm 41:1

- Happy are those who consider the poor, the LORD delivers them in the day of trouble.

The second letter of Paul to the Corinthians 9:7

- Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Gratitude- The secret:

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.

- The Qur’an:

- Surah 3 _ Ali ‘Imran

144. but Allah will reward the grateful

Surah 3 _ Ali ‘Imran-

145. And We will reward the grateful

- Surah 14 _ Ibraheem

7. If you are grateful, I will surely increase you (in favor), but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe

- The Bible:

- The second letter of Paul to the Corinthians 4:15

Yes, every thing is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God

The Secret, the Qur’an and the Bible- The secret:

- “you don’t need to know how it’s going to come about. You don’t need to know how the universe will rearrange itself. “

- How it will happen, how the universe will bring it to you, is not your concern or job Allow the universe to do it for you. When you are trying to work out how it will happen, you are emitting a frequency that contains a lack of faith-that you don’t believe you have it already. You

think you have to do it and you do not believe the Universe will do it for you. The how is not your part in the creative process.

- Size is nothing to the Universe. It is no more difficult to attract, on a scientific level, something that we consider huge to something that we consider infinitesimally small. It is easy to manifest one dollar as it is to manifest one million dollars. It is the same process, and the only reason why one may come faster than the other may take longer is because you thought that a million dollars was a lot of money and that one dollar was not very much.

The Qur’an:

- Surah 2 _ al-Baqarah

117. Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, “Be,” and it is.

- Surah 36 _ Ya Seen

82. His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, “Be,” and it is

- Surah 3 _ Ali ‘Imran

189. And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent

- The Bible:

- The letter of Paul to the Philippians 4:6

- Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanks giving let your requests be made known to God

- The secret:

- People who acquired massive wealth, lost it all, and within a short time acquired massive wealth again. What happened in these cases, whether they knew it or not, is that their dominant thoughts were on wealth that is how they acquire it in the first instance. Then they allowed fearful thoughts of losing the wealth to enter their minds, until those fearful thoughts of loss become their dominant thoughts. They tipped the scale from thinking thoughts of wealth to thinking thoughts of loss, and so they lost it all. Once they had lost it how ever, the fear of loss disappeared, and they tipped the scales back with dominant thoughts of wealth. And wealth turned.

- The Qur’an:

Surah41 _ Fussilat

36. And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

- The Bible:

- Proverbs 11:27

- Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but evil comes to the one who searches for it.

- Amos 5:14

- Seek good and not evil, that you may live, and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, just as you have said.

No doubt that “the secret” book is right in some aspects, but it is showed only the principles of using the law of attraction, so it is insufficient and lack of information especially in the interaction between people and the different types of energies.

There is many factors affects people’s energy, the energies of the surrounding environment including people’s energies affect the energy

of the people negatively or positively. The interaction between people and the living organisms differ from the interaction between people and solid bodies or the universe, etc.

So when asking for something from God is absolutely not the same when asking from the universe or other things or other people, but whatever we want and whoever we ask from God knows about it, and He decide when and how to give it for us, or maybe He will not, that depends on many factors such as if the person deserve to get what he want or not, or to test his patience, as God said in the Quran in

Surah 2 _ al-Baqarah

155. And we will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient.

or in case God give the person what he want even if the person was bad and don’t deserve it, God maybe want to punish him after that in these giving, and so many factors depends on it, if we get what we want.

The secret book shows us that if we did good things in our life such as giving or gratitude or any thing emits good (positive) energy, we will get good things, and that is what already our religions said before. So The “the secret” book interprets the principles methods of using the law of attraction in new scientific very simple way, to understand what is already exist before in religious books which they interpreted the law of attraction in vastly and wider way.

All good things derive good things, and all bad things derive bad things, that were already what religions said before. As the LORD said in

Surah 99 _ az-Zalzalah

7. So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it,

8. And whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.

The negative things attracts bad situations and events and continue to happen without stop until the energy of the person changed from negative to positive and vise versa, that what the verse in Quran in

Surah41 _ Fussilat

36. And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

The Satan (devil) let us think in negative way, so the verse telling us to seek refuge in God to change the negative energy we emit from negative suggestions from Satan to positive energy.

“The secret” book released to remind people how to live and deal with life, because people forgot how to apply the concepts of religious books but it is lack of information and it is overdrawn.

All religious books interpreted the law of attraction according to all people understanding degrees in all mentality levels, and each era has a different mentality and assimilation way differ from the other, and this doesn’t mean the kind of people, their nationalities, traditions or races, however, on the mentality aspect, because of that God discourse us from these aspects, otherwise there will be a religious book for each race, town, tribe, etc. So the Torah came in specific diction to let people of that era understand it according to their mentality, then the bible came because the people’s mentality differs, and finally the holy Quran, and why there is no religious books came after it? Because it still and will be for all eras a comprehensive and capable of discourse all kinds of mentalities, that it is still has a powerful information and contains the different kinds of sciences, regardless of the concepts evolution and the new discoveries appears, we still see the Quran even discover it before, or talked about it in some way, or it is the reason for their appearance. It is obviously more advanced than the Torah and the Bible.

حلياة مليئة باخليارات و أيضا مليئة بالفرص. احلياة دائمة املفاجآت لنا وال نعرف اما تخفيه. ال نعرف القرارات التي س��نأخذها جيدة أم سيئة. ولذلك يبقى السؤال

“ هل احلياة تعتمد على اخليارات أم على الصدف ?

ال ب��د من باب الفضول تتس��اءلون ملاذا اخترت أنا هذا املوض��وع بالتحديد من بني ماليني املواضيع التي استطيع أن اطرحها . هذا املوضوع غريب إلى حد ما، فالكثير م��ن األحيان أفكر أن احلياة تعتمد على اخليارات ألن��ي أكون قد اخترت بعض من اخليارات التي أريد أن متضي حياتي بها. و في األحيان األخرى حتدث لي األش��ياء من طريق الصدفة فأقول هل هذه األش��ياء حدثت من القدر والصدفة أم كان مقدر

لها أن حتدث بسبب خياراتي.

لنأخذ كال من اخليارات والصدفة بش��كل منفصل. دعنا نبدأ بان احلياة هي مسألة صدفه. هناك شيء يسمى مصير، و بوجود الله وعبارة “ هو من املفترض أن يحدث “. هذه هي األش��ياء الذي يعتمد عليها بعض الناس و يعتقدون أن احلياة تعتمد على الفرص فقط. ولكن هل تعتقد أن الفرص هي كل شيء ? أنت متتلك احلياة وتستطيع توجيهها حيثما تريد وأيضا اعتقد أن بعض األش��ياء في حياتنا التي حتدث صدفه لتعلمنا أن نعيش احلياة بالرغم من التحديات التي تواجهنا . إذا هل الزلت تعتقد أن

احلياة تعتمد على القدر والصدف ?

دعن��ا اآلن نأخذ النقطة األخرى التي هي أن احلياة تعتمد على خياراتنا. من أعظم هدايا احلياة لإلنسان هي عندما ندرك إننا لدينا القدرة على اتخاذ قرارات اخلاصة

بنا و بها نباش��ر حياتنا. نعم ! نس��تطيع أن نوجه حياتنا مثلما نريد ولكن ملاذا تكون هن��اك قرارات خاطئ��ة بعد اختيارنا لم نريد حياتنا أن تك��ون ? باختيارنا القرارات ال نعلم ماذا س��تكون نتائجها الحقا ، أحيانا نختار ما يجعلنا س��عداء ولكن في بعض احلي��ان ال ي��ؤدي هذا القرار إلى ما كنا نتوقع . ما هو االختيار الصحيح ? وكيف لنا أن نعل��م أن هذا هو اخليار الصحيح ? اخليار الصحيح هو الذي يخبرنا به احلدس أن هذا هو القرار املناس��ب لنا ، بغض النظر عن ما يقوله الناس و بغض النظر عن األص��وات الذي تس��معها بداخلك . الصوت الذي بداخلك ه��و صوتك الذي دائما ما يكون مائال إلى ما يريده قلبك ولكنه ال يس��اعدك في مواجهة حتديات احلياة . وهذه التحديات ممكن أن تؤدي بنا إلى السعادة والى عكسها.. فبعض القرارات التي

نأخذها تكون قد مرت نفسها علينا سابقا . فهل حقا احلياة مسألة اختيار ?

أخيرا برأيي اخلاص اعتقد أن احلياة هي مسألة اختيار. أنت الذي تستطيع أن توجه حيات��ك و تختار القرارات ملا هو األفضل بالنس��بة لك أو ما يجعلك س��عيدا. عيش احلياة على أفضل ما تس��تطيع حتى لو كن��ت تؤمن أن احلياة تعتمد على قرارات أو الصدفة الن أهم ش��يء هو قدرتك على إدارتها . احلياة مليئة باملفاجآت واألس��رار والتحدي��ات . احلياة تكون في بعض األحيان تعتمد عل��ى الفرص لتعلمنا كيف هي قيمه و كيف نك��ون حذرين في كل خطوه نخطيها. احلياة تعتمد على قراراتنا وعلى الفرص والصدف التي هي تقدمها لنا . لذلك لنحاول أن نعيش��ها بطريقه صحيحة

على أكمل وجه

هل احلياة تعتمد على اخلياراتأم أنها مسألة صدفه ?

ص��ور أحداثا خيالي��ة، أو تعيد أحداثا قد حدثت بالفعل ف��ي املاضي، تعيدها تع��ن طريق التقليد بأش��خاص مختلفني وظروف مصطنع��ة . وهناك التصوير السينمائي الوثائقي، الذي يحاول إيصال حقائق ووقائع حتدث بالفعل بشكل جذاب، أو إيصال فكرة أو معلومة بش��كل واضح وس��لس أو مثير لإلعجاب. تسمى السينما أيضا الفن الس��ابع. فهي فن اس��تخدام الصوت و الصورة سوية من أجل إعادة بناء

األحداث على شريط خلوي.

نشأة السينما وانتشارها:

ترجع بداية ظهور الس��ينما في العالم بيوم الثامن والعشرون من شهر ديسمبر لعام 1895 ، وه��و اليوم الذي ق��دم فيه األخوان لوميير أول عرض س��ينمائي من خالل جهازهما املعروف بالس��ينما توج��راف أمام اجلمهور مبقابل م��ادي وكلن ذلك في باريس في فرنس��ا، كان الشريط السينمائي الذي قدمه األخوان لوميير مدته ثالث دقائق تقريب��ا، وكان عنوانه )إنصراف العمال من مصن��ع لوميير(،الفيلم عبارة عن تس��جييل للواقعة بطريقة بدائية مبسطة ملشاهد متحركة، لكنه القى استحسانا من جان��ب اجلماهير فتم عرضه في أماكن أخرى من فرنس��ا، وجتول في بعض الدول االوربية ثم الوالسات املتحدة، ولم تكن صاالت العرض معروفة فكانت املشاهدة تتم في مس��ارح عادية، حيث توضع الشاشة ويتم العرض عليها، أما آلة التصوير فكانت ه��ي األخرى بدائية محدودة االمكانيات. ومنذ تق��دمي العروض األولى البدائية في فرنس��ا ، ب��دأ االهتمتام بتوالى في ال��دول االدوربية ببناء وتش��ييد قاعات العرض السينمائي، ففي فرنسا افتتحت أول دار سينما ثابتة على يد األخويني لوميير 1897 ، وفي بريطانيا ش��يدت أول دار عرض ثابته عام 1904 . وفي عام 1908 صدرت

التشريعات القانونية التي تنظم قواعد تشييد دور العرض السينمائي في روسيا.

ومع مرور الوقت مت استحداث أشكال جديدة للعرض ، وزادت املدة الزمنية املخصصة للعروض السينمائية، وزاد تأثير على هيكل صناعة السينما، فازدادت هذه الصناعة تعقي��دا وأصبح العارضون يش��ترون األفالم من املنتجيني ويقدمونها للمش��اهديني ف��ي دور العرض مقابل تذاكر ذات أثم��ان معروفة، زمنذ ذلك احلني أصبح الذهاب الى الس��ينما ملشاهدة العروض الس��ينمائية عادة ملحوظة لدى قطاعات واسعة من

اجلمهور في العديد من دول العالم

ا أدري أيهما أكثر عشقا لآلخر وأشد تعلقا به الكاتب بالقلم أم القلم بالكاتب ?ل

عشق سرمدي وتعلق وجداني ؛لكنه أحيانا حب من طرف واحد

الكاتب يعشق القلم بال شك !

والقلم ال يهيم بأي كاتب وال ريب ؛بل إن القلم لو نطق لقال لبعض الكتاب )ضع القلم واهجر الكتابة ( .

أما عش��ق القلم للكات��ب فيتوقف على نوعية ما يكتب وج��ودة ما يعرض وصدق ما يطلب وأهمية ما ينتج .

فالقلم مغلوب على أمره ال يس��تطيع أن يعبر بصراحة أو ينطق بصدق ؛ليقول لبعض من يكتب )ضع القلم واهجر الكتابة(.

ضع القلم واهجر الكتابة عندما تريد أن حتاد الله ورس��وله صلى الله عليه وسلم أو عندما تريد أن تشكك في دين الله .

ضع القلم واهجر الكتابة عندما تنسى هموم أمتك ،فتساند أعدائها بكتاباتك وحتاول املساس مبعتقداتها وأمنها ووحدتها .

ضع القلم واهجر الكتابة عندما ال يكون لك هم إال إخراج ذوات اخلدور من خدورهن بغض النظر عن أين تكون مصلحتهن ?

ض��ع القلم واهجر الكتابة عندما تنطلق في كتاباتك من الهوى بغير نور من كتاب أو سنة .

Is every morning a drag? Are you feeling lethargic throughout the day? How many of these 10 things are getting in the way of your sleep?

Bladder

While drinking a nice cup of tea or warm milk before bed is a great way to wind down, it’s also a great way to ensure a midnight trip to the bathroom. Overactive bladder, an actual medical condition caused by the involuntary contractions of the bladder muscles, can also disrupt your beauty rest. Overcome bladder disruptions by limiting your intake of fluids after about 6 p.m., and by avoiding foods that irritate the bladder like spicy Indian dishes. If all else fails, try a double take: After you urinate before bed, give it five minutes and then force another round.

Mattress

Remember the good old days of kick-ass sleepovers and playing Nintendo till 2 a.m. at your best bud’s house? Yeah, well, those days are gone and so too is your ability to sleep on any couch, floor or mattress. Because choosing the right mattress is almost entirely a matter of personal choice -- meaning that most studies on mattress type and back pain, for example, are inconclusive -- finding a mattress that works for you is probably best achieved through trial and error. Don’t be afraid to take notes on the various mattresses that you lay upon throughout your life, whether at hotels or family functions, until you find a perfect match. Of course, you can always use the fact that you’re researching mattresses as a cheesy pickup line.

Things ThatWill Stop YouFrom Sleeping

Hunger

There may be no worse feeling than snuggling into bed only to be loudly awakened by a rumbling stomach. To avoid those late-night pangs of hunger, simply plan your meals better. Sometimes eating too big of a dinner will keep you full until the exact moment you lay down for bed. So try not to overdo it at dinnertime, eat at a reasonable time and follow up your dinner with a light snack a few hours before bed.

Exercise

Ever felt jacked-up immediately after a good workout? If so, you’re not alone. Usually, during exercise and shortly thereafter, our bodies experience a rapid increase in stress hormones. These hormones help increase blood flow, boost our heart rates and raise our body temperature in order to keep our muscles pumping. The net effect, however, will leave you wide awake. Over time, though, stress hormone levels drop, thereby promoting the opposite effect of making you tired. Studies have even shown that regular exercise will actually improve sleep in insomniacs in the long run. To ensure that exercise is promoting sleep rather than disturbing it, avoid the gym before bedtime. In fact, the earlier you work out, the better you’ll sleep.

Stress

Whether it’s a looming deadline, a blind date or having to tell your wife that you spent the vacation fund on a big-screen TV, stress and anxiety are sleep killers. The inability to prevent our minds from racing at night is a common symptom of stress-induced sleep disturbance. With

bedtime typically being the only time for peaceful reflection, it’s quite common to relive all the stressful events that occurred throughout the day. But stress-induced sleep disturbance isn’t just a mental thing; stress induces physical changes, such as the release of the hormone cortisol -- another factor intimately related to sleep. If you’re having trouble with stress and sleep, the best solution is to address the stress itself, rather than look for quick fixes. Make sure you wind down hours before bedtime, whether through mediation, a good book or mutual massage -- anything to keep your mind at ease -- and be sure to make these healthy habits routine.

Light

Your bedroom is supposed to be your sanctuary, free from disturbance, and most importantly, free from light. Man-made light, whether from outside street lamps or from your TV or computer, can disrupt our internal clocks (or circadian rhythm), making it difficult for our brain to understand when it should begin to wind down. Because our bedtime routines tend to vary from night to night, the amount of light we are exposed to before sleep will also vary, making it near impossible for our bodies to secure a natural rhythm. If you’re having trouble finding your nightly groove, make sure that your bedroom is as dark and distraction-free as possible. Buy thick curtains and remove the TV and computers to ensure that your space is for sleeping only.

TV

It seems that almost every day new research emerges on the effects of TV and sleep. Of biggest concern, is bedtime viewing. Not only does the light from television throw off our natural circadian rhythms, which are normally controlled by daylight, but the sights and sounds of television act as a brain stimulant, further preventing sleep. The scariest part of TV’s effect on sleep is that nearly everyone is doing it. A very recent, large-scale survey of 21,475 adults, known as the American Time Use Survey, found that television viewing accounted for nearly 50% of pre-bedtime use!

Do yourself a favor and unplug.

Computer and cell phone

In a world dominated by electronics, avoiding computers or cell phones before bedtime is nearly impossible, but it may be necessary in order to get a good night’s sleep. Not only do computers and cell phones give off loads of unnecessary light (think of all the flashing lights on computers, cell phones and AC adapters), but they also serve as a constant reminder of work. Cell phones go one step further with some studies suggesting that the radiation given off by our mobile phones may be disturbing sleep. Then there’s the added disruption of late-night texts, phone calls or e-mails that can wake you without you even knowing it (a phone’s vibration is more than enough to wake you mid-sleep).

Help yourself by disconnecting.

Caffeine

We probably don’t need to tell you outright that caffeine affects sleep, but most of you probably aren’t aware of how this process happens. Caffeine works partly by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that induces drowsiness and sleepiness by binding to its adenosine receptor. When this action is blocked, we tend to stay awake. Because the half-life of caffeine is about six hours in humans, that means that if you consume a big cup of coffee with 200 mg of caffeine at 3:00 p.m., by 9:00 p.m., there is still about 100 mg of that caffeine in your system. Although you may be able to fall asleep, you might not reap the benefits of deep sleep. To overcome caffeine-related sleep deprivation, try to avoid caffeine after 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. This may be tricky since some foods like chocolate or various soft drinks also contain caffeine. But, generally, you’ll be fine if you just avoid coffee later in the day.

The word “appreciation” means really seeing something for what it is- an awareness of how special, how lucky, how unique, how

blessed, how big, wonderful or awesome something is. Appreciation is a recognition not based on comparison, but based on the intrinsic value, character or immensity of a thing or state itself.

Some people are born “appreciators”. They see the world at its essence- the beauty of a sunset, the fragile green of a leaf, the boundless energy of a small child. Others must be helped to learn to see the beauty and wonder in the world.

Gratitude is one form of appreciation that is easier to express. Thankfulness is part of our religious and cultural heritage and the antidote to selfishness and complaining. It can come in the form of praise, recognition or humility.

Another form of appreciation is respect toward someone or something valued. In relationships this translates as care, concern, fair treatment and courtesy.

Teaching your child to appreciate starts at birth with your loving regard toward him or her and continues throughout the life of your relationship. As they observe the way you view and deal with people, things, and situations, they will no doubt learn to appreciate also.

Preschool

Nature is a major doorway to appreciation. The unarguable beauty and power encountered in natural places inspires a young child’s appreciation. The sound of a bird in the tree overhead, the rustling grass as the wind passes by, a butterfly lighting briefly on a blossom- all are breathlessly beautiful and awe-inspiring!

Take frequent forays into wild places. Let your child experience the wonders of nature through their senses. Walk through well-tended gardens and notice the colors, shapes and smells you encounter. They will see your obvious pleasure and join you in your appreciation. Share what you’ve experienced later by reviewing the experience.

Care is an important aspect of appreciation. Help your child take care of their things. Teach them to respect their belongings and the property of others. Demonstrate an attitude of thankfulness for what you have and for your life together. Prayer, celebrations and shared reflection are simple ways to express your gratitude.

Affection is a powerful way to express appreciation. Hugs, kisses and loving words show your child how much you value him and others. Simple thank-yous given often and sincerely introduce your child to the graciousness of appreciation. There is no more powerful teacher than your own example!

Being close to nature brings out appreciative feelings, as this activates the heart. This is accomplished through the senses.

Teach your child how to care for and respect their belongings.

Show thankfulness with prayer, celebrations and simple reflection.

Hugs, kisses and loving words are powerful expressions of appreciation. Use them often along with sincere thank-yous.

• Grades K-3rd

Young school age children are strongly influenced by those outside the home. They may encounter those who lack appreciation and respect for people and property. You will need to counter this by continuing to deliberately teach and demonstrate appreciation.

Teach your Child the Importance of

Appreciation

One fun way to do this is to create a “Thankfulness Tree”. Using construction paper, or a cardboard tube, make a “trunk” for your tree. Cut out colorful leaves and have each family member write something they are thankful for on them. Each week add another set of leaves to the tree. Take time afterward to re-read the leaves. You’ll be surprised what your family will come up with!

Keeping a family journal, perhaps alongside a photo album or scrapbook, can provide a running record of gratitude. Take time every month to update events or developments that have inspired thankfulness. Encourage but don’t require participation each time, but know your contributions are setting a standard they will internalize.

Use holidays as opportunities to show appreciation for what you have, for each other, and for what you’ve experienced over the year. Your child will develop an appreciation for the “seasons of life” in this way. Sometimes an event such as illness, death or other tragedy can later viewed as a blessing.

Openly thank your child’s teachers, coaches and care providers. Encourage your youngster to do the same.

Again, make sure your child knows you appreciate them. Praise, noticing effort and accomplishment and kind words need to be part of the climate of the thankful home. Prayer remains a powerful vehicle for gratitude at this age.

• Main Points to address:

Counter outside influence by being deliberately appreciative.

Create a “Thankfulness Tree” together.

Use holidays as opportunities to show appreciation.

Continue using praise, recognition, prayer, and kind words.

• Grades 4-6th

Older school age children can begin to show appreciation in more tangible ways. It is important to foster the development of gratitude in order to keep your youngster’s heart open at a time when many around them are “shutting down” in this way.

A good extension of the family journal is to provide your child with a journal of their own. Writing out their thoughts and feelings is a wonderful way to express what they may find difficult to verbalize. Journaling requires time, thought and reflection and opens a doorway for appreciation that might not otherwise be opened.

Provide your older child their own stationary, including thank you notes. You may need to prompt them to send thank yous, but if they have seen you do this, they will feel quite grownup sending them. Show them how to be specific when expressing their gratitude.

Volunteering to work at an animal rescue or shelter, read to older folks at a nursing home, or participate in a community cleanup or food shelter can provide your child with opportunities to realize their own blessings and give back by being a blessing to others. This is one of the most powerful ways of teaching appreciation- by showing them appreciation has both receptive and expressive qualities.

Again, your own appreciation and how you show it will be the best teacher for your child. Know that how you view and respond to the world around you and the life you live will be the critical factor in opening your child’s heart to appreciation.

Main points to address:

A personal journal provides a forum for thoughtful expression.

Sending thank you notes is a grownup way to show gratitude.

Volunteer activities can keep your child’s heart open and give them a chance to be a blessing to others.

Your example is the most powerful teacher.

ملاذا ال يضحك االنسانعندما يدغدغ نفسه?

�ن املعروف ان لكل فعل رد فعل ، أي أنه عندما يقوم شخص ما بدغدغتك يكون رد مفعلك هو الضحك، ولكن ملاذا ال يحدث ذلك إذا قمت أنت بدغدغة نفسك?

ان اإلجابة تتواجد في املنطقة اخللفية باملخ والتي تسمى “cerebellum” وتختص مبراقبة احلركة .

وأن الدراس��ات التي أجري��ت في جامعة لندن أثبتت أن ه��ذه املنطقة ميكنها التنبأ باإلحس��اس عندما تس��ببه حركة اجلسم نفس��ه، ولكنها غير قادرة على التنبأ بهذا

اإلحساس إذا صدر عن مصدر خارجي.

الشخص عندما يقوم بدغدغة نفسه فإن املخ يتنبأ بهذا اإلحساس ، هذا التنبؤ يلغى رد فعل املناطق املخية األخرى لهذه احلركة .

اإلنس��ان ال يضحك وحيدا

وللتع��رف اكث��ر على تل��ك العملية توضح ان هن��اك منطقتني بامل��خ تختص بعملية اإلحس��اس بالدغدغة، وقد وج��د أن هاتني املنطقتني تكونا أقل نش��اط إذا دغدغ الش��خص نفس��ه وعلى العكس تنش��ط بش��كل ملحوظ إذا دغدغ الشخص من قبل

شخص أخر.

وأضافت أن دراس��ات أخرى استخدم فيها الربوت اآللي أظهرت أن وجود تأخر بني حركة الدغدغة وظهور رد الفعل قد يؤدى إلي الشعور بالدغدغة ، وكلما زاد التأخر

كان الشعور بالدغدغة أقوى.

وأخي��ر نقول لك عزيزي القارئ أن الدغدغة كالضحك تعبر عن نش��اط اجتماعي، فاإلنس��ان ال يضحك وحيدا، وال يدغدغ نفسه، وإذا فعل فلن يضحك، ومثل الفكاهة التي يضحك فيها اإلنس��ان عندما يدغدغه شخص آخر، وال يضحك عندما يدغدغ نفسه، فهو يفتقد عنصري املفاجأة والتفاعل االجتماعي، فالدغدغة نشاط اجتماعي

يشبه اللعب يعتمد على املفاجأة والتنبيه احلسي.

الدغدغة قد تفقد اإلنسان توازن��ه

وقد قال العلماء عن الدغدغة أنها إحدى خواص اجلسم البشري التي مازال يحيط بها الكثير من الغموض ... وقد شغفت ظاهرة الدغدغة الناس على مر العصور .

و ميكانيكياته��ا معروف��ة : فحينما تداعب أطراف األعصاب ، ترس��ل إش��ارة بهذا للمخ الذي يحولها إل��ى انقباضات عصبية عضلية هي القهقهة احلرة املتفجرة غير اإلرادية، التي يصعب التحكم فيها ... و قد اكشف علماء جامعة سان دييجو بأمريكا أن الضحك يبدأ بعد بدء الدغدغة بسبع ثوان ، و يستمر ملدة 50 ثانية ثم يقل ، إذا

لم تستمر الدغدغة و تزيد .

و يختلف ضحك الدغدغة ، والذى يعتبر انعكاس

عصبي ، عن الضحك الفكاهة مثال ، و هو عقالني .

وال تعجب عزيزي القارئ إذا عرفت ان الدغدغة قد تفقد االنس��ان توازنه و حتكمه في جسده .

فعلى س��بيل املثال ميارس االطفال ، مثال لعبة )حرب الدغدغة ( حيث الهدف ليس إثارة ضحك املنافس ، بل دفعه لفقد الس��يطرة على جس��ده ... و قد اس��تخدمت الدغدغة في املاضي )في املانيا القرن السابع عشر مثال ( كسالح للتعذيب و أحيانا

لإلعدام ، بإماتة الشخص من شدة الضحك

to get a lawyer to respond,” Angiolillo added. “The dream is over.”

Neighbor to the Moon, Ambassador to the Stars, the legend of today is yesterday’s shy little village girl. The superstar acclaimed

by millions as magical, brilliant, and angelic is our one and only Fairuz.

Born and raised in Lebanon, Fairuz began her musical career as a teenager. From chorus girl at the Lebanese radio station in the late 1940s, to critical and popular acclaim from the 1950’s to today, Fairuz is acknowledged not only for her musical talent and contribution, but also as a cultural and political icon. A symbol of a people, a heritage, a quest for peace, and of humanity.

During most of her career, Fairuz reflected two other great artists, Assi and Mansour Rahbani. They wrote the lyrics and composed her tunes. Today, many of her songs reflect the composing talent of Ziad Rahbani who is Fairuz’s son. Her songs testify to the Rahbani musical genius, as well as to Fairuz’s broad musical background. As Dr. J. Racy says, “More than just a singer’s name, Fairuz is a concept whose connotations are ethnic and nationalistic, as well as musical and poetic.” Referred to as

“The Soul of Lebanon” in the 70’s, Fairuz became a pre-eminent figure, a superstar of current music in the Arab world. Together, the Rahbani family is both a school of music and a cultural phenomenon.

For the girl who loved to sing to her friends and neighbors in the little village, it was an overwhelming experience when, in 1957, Lebanon’s

President Chamoun presented Fairuz with the “Cavalier”, the highest medal ever conferred on a Lebanese Artist. In 1969 a memorial Lebanese stamp was issued in her name. Meeting royalty, once an experience she had expected to encounter only in the fairy tales of her childhood, has become a reality for her. She is routinely welcomed, greeted, received, and honored by today’s world leaders. In 1963, King Hussein of Jordan presented her with the Medal of Honor, followed by his Majesty’s Gold Medal in 1975. In Brazil, the crowds attempted to carry her with her limousine. In 1981, while touring in the U.S., Senators, Governors and Mayors of various cities honored her. A Harvard University scholar, Barry Hoberman, even wrote: “Quite simply, Fairuz is one of the world’s nonpareil musicians and outstanding Artists, an international treasure of the order of Rostropovich, Sills, Ravi Shankar, Miles Davis, Sutherland, Pavarotti and Dylan.”

Her record-breaking concerts at the Royal Festival Hall in London made headlines worldwide. The Daily Mail wrote: “The box office was besieged as never before. Tickets changed hands at more than 1,000 Pounds on the black market. Takings reached a record, breaking the previous best when Frank Sinatra was in town. And who was the star that packed them in last night? Madonna? Springsteen? Domingo? Horowitz? No ... FAIRUZ, the top female singer in the Arab world”. Fairuz has headlined at the most prestigious venues in the world including the Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Salle Pleyel, among many others.

Salman’s Pain Returns

Salman Khan, who underwent a surgery for a facial nerve

problem, took part in the shooting of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ which is

right now canning its shots in Dublin. For a moment, all seemed

well that our Sallu Bhai returned to the sets and resumed work.

But unfortunately, the relief from the surgery has not seemed

to last for long. Given the cold climate that prevails in Ireland,

Salman’s pain in the face has come back again to haunt him

apparently. Sallu Bhai stated that though the surgery reduced his

pain by about 60-70 percent, he can still feel it, and it is especially

intense when he tries to talk.

Salman underwent the surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia, a

problem that occurs in the facial nerve for some unknown reason

and causes a lot of pain in the face and the jaw. Salman has stated

that he would have to go back for a second round of the surgery

in the next 2 or 3 months again

Abhishek Bachchan tweeted: “The father and mrs. In an attempt to make me feel better told me that a scar on the face adds character and apparently even looks attractive!!!”

However, Abhishek is in no mood to agree with them. He wrote, “Not too sure about that. The airhostess on my flight to Jaipur refused to serve me and when I disembarked from the plane had the look….Of sheer horror on her face.”

Now, things are getting better with Abhishek and the actor is all set to resume the shooting of Bol.

Ryan Thomas Gosling (born November 12, 1980) is a Canadian actor and musician. Having first gained notice at

the age of 12 as a mouseketeer on the variety show The Mickey Mouse Club, Gosling has built a reputation for playing misfits in independent films: a fanatic Neo-Nazi in the The Believer (2001), a socially inept loner in Lars and the Real Girl (2007) and a frazzled husband in Blue Valentine (2010). He has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Leading Actor (for Half Nelson) and two Golden Globe Awards (for Lars and the Real Girl and Blue Valentine).

His most commercially successful movie to date is 2004’s romantic drama The Notebook. 2011 was a landmark year for the actor as he appeared in three mainstream films: romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, action movie Drive and political drama The Ides of March.

Gosling first made his name as a child actor on The Mickey Mouse Club alongside fellow future stars Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. He also appeared in many Canadian television series and movies

including Goosebumps and Breaker High, and, in 1998, he moved to New Zealand to film the adventure series Young Hercules.

Gosling outside a concert for his band Dead Man’s Bones in Montreal, Canada in October 2009

His first serious role was in 2001’s controversial drama The Believer, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. He has described it as “the film that kind of gift-wrapped for me the career that I have now. I suddenly found myself at Sundance, where people were asking me about my craft. So I had to pretend I had one.” In 2002 and 2003, he appeared in The Slaughter Rule, Murder by Numbers and The United States of Leland.

In 2004, he starred opposite Rachel McAdams in the sleeper hit The Notebook. The film made stars of its two leads, had huge popular culture resonance and frequently appears on Most Romantic Movies lists. The chemistry between Gosling and McAdams was often remarked upon, with the New York Times writing, “Their performances are so spontaneous and combustible that you quickly identify with the reckless sweethearts, who embody an innocence that has all but vanished

from American teenage life. And against your better judgment, you root for the pair to beat the odds against them.”

In 2006, he appeared as a drug-addicted, junior high school history teacher in Half Nelson, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Broadcast Film Critics Association Award and won Best Actor at the Spirit Awards.and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Broadcast Film Critics Association and won a Satellite Award. He also starred opposite Anthony Hopkins in the 2007 courtroom thriller Fracture.

Gosling focused mainly on his band Dead Man’s Bones in 2008 and 2009, releasing a debut album and touring North America. The band was formed with his friend, Zach Shields. The two met in 2005 (Shields was dating Rachel McAdams’ sister) and quickly realized that they shared an obsession with ghosts. Thus, they decided to form their band around the themes of ghosts and monsters.

In 2010, he co-starred with Michelle Williams in Derek Cianfrance’s directorial debut, Blue Valentine. The low-budget film was mainly improvised: “Most movies when you’re acting you’re trying to block out the lights and the trailers. Here, you had to remind yourself you were making a film,” says Gosling.

“Michelle and I found it hard to take off our wedding bands when it was over. We’d built this castle and then had to tear it down.” His performance was nominated for many awards, most notably a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama.

2011 saw him expand his horizons: he appeared in his first comedic role, in Crazy, Stupid, Love. and his first action role, in Drive. He was also directed by George Clooney in the political drama The Ides of March, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

He recently finished filming The Place Beyond the Pines, a bank heist movie with Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes and Ray Liotta, He is currently working on The Gangster Squad and is attached to two movies currently in pre-production: Only God Forgives and a remake of Logan’s Run.

A multimedia star, from 1934 to 1954 Bing Crosby was a leader in record sales, radio ratings and motion picture grosses. His early career coincided with technical recording innovations; this allowed him to develop a laid-

back, intimate singing style that influenced many of the popular male singers who followed him, including Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin. Yank magazine recognized Crosby as the person who had done the most for American G.I. morale during World War II and, during his peak years, around 1948, polls declared him the “most admired man alive,” ahead of Jackie Robinson and Pope Pius XII. Also in 1948, the Music Digest estimated that Crosby recordings filled more than half of the 80,000 weekly hours allocated to recorded radio music.

Crosby exerted an important influence on the development of the postwar recording industry. He worked for NBC at the time and wanted to record his shows; however, most broadcast networks did not allow recording. This was mainly because of the quality of recording at the time. While in Europe performing during the war, Crosby had witnessed tape recording, on which The Crosby Research Foundation would come to have many patents. The company also developed equipment and recording techniques such as the Laugh Track which are still in use today.

In 1947, he invested $50,000 in the Ampex company, which built North America’s first commercial reel-to-reel tape recorder. He left NBC to work for ABC, because NBC was not interested in recording at the time. This proved beneficial because ABC accepted him and his new ideas. Crosby then became the first performer to pre-record his radio shows and master his commercial recordings onto magnetic tape. He gave one of the first Ampex Model 200

BingCrosbyHarry Lillis “Bing” Crosby (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Crosby’s trademark bass-baritone voice made him one of the best-selling recording artists of the 20th century, with over half a billion records in circulation.

recorders to his friend, musician Les Paul, which led directly to Paul’s invention of multitrack recording. Along with Frank Sinatra, Crosby was one of the principal backers behind the famous United Western Recorders recording studio complex in Los Angeles.

During the “Golden Age of Radio,” performers often had to recreate their live shows a second time for the west coast time zone. Through the aegis of recording, Crosby constructed his radio programs with the same directorial tools and craftsmanship (editing, retaking, rehearsal, time shifting) being used in motion picture production. This became the industry standard.

Crosby won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Father Chuck O’Malley in the 1944 motion picture Going My Way, and was nominated for his reprise of the role in The Bells of St. Mary’s the next year, becoming the first of four actors to be nominated twice for playing the same character. In 1963, Crosby received the first Grammy Global Achievement Award. Crosby is one of the 22 people to have three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Jeffrey Charles William Michael Conaway (October 5, 1950 - May 27, 2011, known by his stage name, Jeff Conaway, was an American actor,

best known for his roles in the movie Grease, and the US TV series Taxi and Babylon 5. He also directed the 1992 film Bikini Summer 2.

On May 11, 2011, Conaway was found unconscious from what was initially described as an overdose of what was believed to be pain medication, and was taken to a hospital in Encino, California, where he was listed as being in critical condition and in a coma. After the initial reports, Dr. Drew Pinsky, who had treated Conaway for substance abuse, said the actor was suffering not from a drug overdose but rather from “pneumonia with sepsis”, for which he was placed into an induced coma.

5 months later, Los Angeles County coroner ruled his death accidental. Jeff Conaway died mn May 27, 2011, after 2 weeks in a comma.

Jeff Conaway was 60 years old at the time of his death.

Conaway appeared on VH1’s ‘Celebrity Fit Club’ in 2008 and later on ‘Celebrity Rehab,’ where he admitted to being addicted to cocaine, painkillers and alcohol.

ن الن��ادر حدوث التوافق والرضا بني األزواج في ظل ظروف العمل، وهذه النتيجة ماملؤكدة ليس��ت كالم��ا عاما غير مثبت بل إنها من واق��ع اخلبرة، وهي أيضا التي توصل��ت لها العديد من الدراس��ات الت��ي مت إجراؤها مؤخرا حي��ث أثبتت أحدث الدراس��ات أن اقل م��ن %45 من األزواج يش��عرون بالرضا والس��عادة في عملهم

وحياتهم الزوجية.

والس��بب في ذلك يرج��ع إلي الضغوط املتزايدة التي توجد ف��ي العمل ثم مضاعفة هذه الضغوط مئات املرات عند الرجوع إلي املنزل لالصطدام بواقع احلياة الزوجية املل��يء أيضا باملتاعب، وهذا احل��ال ال ينطبق علي الرجال فقط بل إنه أيضا ينطبق كذلك علي النس��اء العامالت، فاألمر أكثر صعوبة بالنسبة إليهن حيث يصعب عليهن الربط والتوفيق بني أعمالهن وحياتهن الزوجية؛ خاصة بالنسبة ألعمال املنزل وتربية األطف��ال، ومن ثم يصعب حدوث نوع كبير من الس��عادة وحتقيق الرضا املطلوب في

احلياة الزوجية والعملية.

كيف تصبح ناجحافي حياتك العملية وسعيدا في زواجك

ف��ي املقابل أكدت دراس��ة حديثة أخري تنامي نس��بة املعاناة م��ن الضغوط والتوتر وارتف��اع نس��بة األمراض النفس��ية والعصبية الناجمة عن مش��اكل ومتاعب احلياة في العمل والزواج، وهذه النس��بة الكبي��رة ال ميكن بأي حال من األحوال إهمالها أو

إغفالها ألنها تنتشر كثيرا بني األزواج والزوجات الذين يعملون.

عدد ساعات العمل:

أوضحت دراسات أخري أيضا أن نسبة عدم الرضا بني األزواج خاصة الذين يعملون وعدم ش��عورهم بالسعادة يرتبط في املقام األول بزيادة نسبة ساعات العمل، خاصة إذا زاد عدد ساعات العمل عن أربعني ساعة أسبوعيا، حيث ستزداد نسبة الضغوط وفق��ا لذلك في املن��زل، األمر الذي يجعل من الصعب حدوث الس��عادة بني األزواج الذي��ن يعملون في حياتهم الزوجي��ة، وهو األمر الذي دفع العدي��د من األزواج إلي تقليل عدد س��اعات العمل قدر املستطاع، بغرض حتقيق نوع من السعادة في احلياة الزوجية بعيدا عن ضغوط العمل التي تعتبر العامل األكبر في انهيار العديد والعديد من العالقات الزوجية التي تنتهي بالطالق بس��بب أن الزوج ال يش��عر بالسعادة التي يتمناه��ا من جانب زوجته العامل��ة، أو أن الزوجة تلح علي زوجها طالبة منه الطالق وذلك لعدم قدرته علي حتقيق الس��عادة املطلوبة لها نظرا النخراطه في عمله الذي يأخذ كل وقته واهتمامه، فتشعر زوجته بعدم الرضا والسعادة وهو األمر الذي أصبح

مسيطرا علي معظم العالقات الزوجية في العصر احلديث.

السعادة في العمل:

لكن دراس��ات أخري أثبتت أن السعادة في العمل تنعكس جملة وتفصيال علي احلياة الزوجية، حيث قال املش��اركون في االستطالع األخير الذي أجرته “جمعية األزواج األمريكية” أن الس��عادة في العمل تنعكس بصورة كبيرة وتامة علي الرضا في احلياة الزوجي��ة، وأب��دي األزواج العاملون وأيض��ا الزوجات العامالت الذين ش��اركوا في االس��تطالع أن سعادتهم في حياتهم العملية ووظائفهم لها التأثير الكبير في الشعور بالس��عادة الغامرة في احلياة الزوجية، وأن الرضا بالوظيفة واالطمئنان إلي الوضع

املستقبلي بها يزيد من سعادة احلياة الزوجية والرضا بها.

ولكي تتحقق لك الس��عادة التي تتمناها في حياتك الزوجية والعملية إليك النصائح التالية:

اسع إلي الدعم وطلب املساعدة من زوجتك:

إذا كنت تعاني من مشكلة في عملك، فلتطلب املساعدة واالستماع إلي النصيحة من شريك حياتك، حيث يقول اخلبراء إن احلكمة التي يجب أن تتبع وتؤتي ثمارها جيدا

هي تلك النصيحة التي تأتي في املقام األول من شريك احلياة.

The new Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG

The businessman’s dirty secret gets more AMG grunt

The Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG has always been the businessman’s dirty secret. A pinstriped wolf in sheep’s clothing, the thunderous

AMG sports saloon masquerades as a refined and palatial vehicle for the corner-office elite. Yet beneath its distinguished exterior lies its true character; a huffing, snorting mechanical beast, ever-ready to devour its more placid contemporaries in the corporate lot with its roaring engine note and unmatched performance. Now even more powerful and efficient, the new generation of the high-performance car has taken its predatory nature to a new level, and now packs the earth-shattering AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine, part of the “AMG Performance 2015” model strategy, which delivers phenomenal power and torque.

Available in both saloon and estate variants, the base level E 63 AMG produces 525 hp and 700Nm of torque which can be called upon across the rev range between 1750 and 5000rpm. Combined with the optional AMG Performance package, these figures increase to 557 hp and 800 Nm, through 2000 to 4500 rpm. Both variants of the E 63 AMG achieve exceptional performance: acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes 4.3 and 4.2 seconds respectively (Estate: 4.4 and 4.3 seconds), and the top speed is 250 km/h (electronically limited).

The new engine, already familiar from the recently launched CLS 63 AMG, delivers an output of 525 hp to 557 hp, together with an impressive reduction in fuel consumption: the E 63 AMG consumes 9.8 litres per 100 kilometres (Estate 10.0 litres) according to NEDC combined, 2.8 litres per 100km (22 percent) less than its predecessor’s AMG 6.3-litre V8 naturally aspirated engine. An important contribution to this is also made by the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, and the newly developed electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering system. Drivers can choose between ‘C’ for Controlled Efficiency, ‘S’ for Sport ‘S+’ for Sports Plus and ‘M’ for Manual settings putting the driver firmly in control of the car’s character and responsiveness at any given time.

Dynamic tweaks to the exterior of the new E 63 AMG advertise the power underneath the bonnet with new 10-spoke AMG alloy wheels, full AMG bodystyling across front, rear and both sides, a distinctive AMG sports exhaust system with two chrome-twin tailpipes while “V8 BITURBO” lettering warns the layman of the performance within.

On the inside, the new AMG Performance, three-spoked steering wheel has been flattened at both top and bottom to facilitate better control, and features aluminium gear shift paddles amidst perforated leather in the grip areas, and a three dimensional airbag cover design with ‘Silver Shadow’ trim element.

The new E 63 AMG also features a host of additional new driver assistance systems such as new AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension to further improve the ride, while Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist raise occupant safety to a whole new level.

Frank Bernthaler, Director, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Daimler Middle East and Levant, said: “The new Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG has raised the bar once again in the executive saloon segment, and now offers further refined luxury and increased exhilaration for almost exactly the same price as its predecessor – something sure to put a smile on the face of even the most earnest CFO.”

With a host of optional ex-factory extras from the AMG Performance Studio available, including carbon fibre trim inside and out with piano lacquer, AMG Performance steering wheel, illuminated AMG door sills and titanium grey 10-spoke alloy wheels, the E 63 AMG is set to become a mouthwatering prospect for any senior executive.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz E 63 AMG will be available in the Middle East as Saloon and Estate variants in Q4 with GCC pricing starting at USD119,450 (AED438,400).

Rafael Márquez Álvarez is a Mexican footballer, playing for New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer. He plays as a centre back or defensive midfielder.

After spending over a decade playing in France and Spain, he was widely considered one of the best central defenders in the world. Márquez is also considered one of the best Mexican defenders of all time. He won numerous titles with Monaco and FC Barcelona. After winning the 2006 UEFA Champions League with Barcelona, he became the first Mexican to win the honour, something Mexican legend Hugo Sánchez was not able to do while playing for Real Madrid.

Márquez began his career at Mexican club Atlas, for whom he débuted in 1996 at only 17 years old. Márquez rose to prominence while with Atlas, making 77 appearances for the team and being runner-up in the league losing the final against Deportivo Toluca in penalties.

In 1999, Monaco purchased him for €6 million. Monaco scouts had gone to see Pablo Contreras during the Copa América tournament. After seeing Márquez play, they signed both players. In his first season, he helped lead Monaco to become Ligue 1 champions, in which he played a vital part in defence. In 2003, Márquez was signed by La Liga giants FC Barcelona.

Rafael MárquezÁlvarez

In his first season with Barcelona, Márquez appeared 21 times, helping the team to a second place finish in La Liga. During his second season, he was moved from his natural position as a centre back to a defensive midfield role, due to injuries to players Thiago Motta, Edmílson and Gerard López. He completed a great season, being one of the main players that helped Barcelona win its 17th league title on 14 May 2005 after a 1–1 tie with Levante. After an injury in his left knee, he returned after a month to play against Milan in the first leg of the 2006 UEFA Champions League semi-final. Barcelona, playing away at the San Siro, won 1–0.

Márquez was present in the Champions League final on 17 May 2006 for Barcelona, in which they won the tournament over Arsenal. This achievement made him the first Mexican football player to ever win this competition, something Hugo Sánchez was not able to do during his time in La Liga with Real Madrid. After the 2006 World Cup, Barcelona extended his contract for the following 4 years to €38.5 million which would see his contract end in June 2010. Despite sustaining injuries, he was rumoured to be up for sale at the end of the 2006–07 season. His

future at Barça was up in the air until the 2007 Copa América, where Márquez regained his best form and was one of the best players of the competition, helping Mexico reach the 3rd place.

In the 2007–08 season, Márquez got off to an excellent start, as he managed to form a solid partnership with new signing Gabriel Milito while captain Carles Puyol was out injured. However, constant injuries threw off his form. Márquez’s success declined with the rest of the season leading Barcelona to end up in 3rd place after a miserable second half where injuries lead to his contribution being negligible. Even so, new coach Josep Guardiola continued to rely on his contributions; with the departure of Ronaldinho, Márquez had become the last original signing of the Rijkaard era to remain on the team. He was Guardiola’s first choice at centre back along with captain Puyol for the 2008–09 season. On 13 December 2008, Márquez played his 200th match for Barcelona in the clash against Real Madrid, which they won 2–0. He got injured on 28 April 2009, in a match against Chelsea in the semi-final. Márquez was told he needed surgery on his left knee, forcing him to miss the rest of the season. FC Barcelona would go on to win a

historic treble after winning the 2008–09 Champions League, in which Márquez was present but was sidelined. Márquez received an offer from Italian side Fiorentina. However, Márquez said he would like to end his career at Barcelona. Márquez signed a new contract with Barca in November 2009 that would keep him at the club until 2012. On 20 February 2010, he scored his first goal since his return against Racing Santander. On July 31, 2010, Marquez was released from Barcelona.

He left the club as one of the most successful foreigners ever to play for Barcelona, earning 12 titles during his 7 seasons with the club. He also scored 13 goals in 242 matches, making him the most-capped non-European player in the club’s history and the eighth most capped foreigner.

New York Red Bulls

After being released by Barcelona and a good performance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, it was reported that Italian club Juventus was strongly linked to the Mexican defender, as a back-up for defender Leonardo Bonucci.

On 2 August 2010, it was announced that Márquez had signed with New York Red Bulls on a 3½ year contract. He was declared as the club’s third Designated Player and was unveiled to the media at Red Bull Arena on August 3 wearing his number 4 jersey and being reunited at the club with former FC Barcelona teammate Thierry Henry. On August 8, Márquez made his MLS début against the Chicago Fire in a scoreless draw. On August 21 Márquez scored his first goal for the Red Bulls in a 4–1 win at Toronto FC. On October 21, 2010 Márquez started for Red Bulls in a 2–0 victory over New England Revolution which clinched the regular season Eastern Conference title.

10 PlaysFor The Perfect ShaveBanish those ingrown hairs and rashes for good.

Warm Up Before You Shave

A hot towel will do in a barber shop or before a last minute date, but a steamy shower is your first play of the day. The hot moisture from the steam will open up your skin and prep it for the next play.

Wash Your Face

A bar of soap is easy, but “easy” never got you anywhere. Clean your face with a cleanser in the shower to wash away the dirt and grime without drying out your skin. Cleaning your pores and stubble is more than just a play to get a better shave. This is your three-point stance. Skip this step and the razor will knock you back with redness and itching.

Suggested product: Gillette Fusion ProSeries™ Sensitive Face Wash

Scrub Your Whiskers

If your wife or girlfriend were doing a play-by-play of your shaving routine, she would call it exfoliating, but guys know it as scrubbing. You need to wash your face at least once a day with a cleanser in the shower, but you really need to scrub your mug every other day. Grind it into your pores and rinse away the scruff and dead skin cells.

Suggested product: Gillette Fusion ProSeries™ Thermal Facial Scrub

Use A Quality Shave Gel

New shaving gels like Gillette’s Pro Fusion Irritation Defense are made for daily shaving and designed to prevent razor burn. Think of the Pro Fusion Irritation Defense gel as a Free Safety, ready to tackle even the toughest facial hair.

Suggested product: Gillette Fusion ProGlide Irritation Defense Shave Gel

Your Shave Is Only As Good As Your Razor

Keep those no-name cheap plastic disposables for your fishing trips in upper Ontario. Your daily razor should do the work for you. You can’t expect to shave every day if you don’t use a good blade. You’re face can’t handle it. Use the best equipment for the best results. For a reliable choice, try the Fusion ProGlide. It has a host of skills that make it a key player in your defense, including a soothing aloe strip and a design that ensures less tug and pull on your face.

Suggested product: Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor for Men

Rinse Your Face With Warm Water

Immediately after the last pass of the razor, you need to rinse with warm water. Just use your hands and splash it across your face in preparation for a balm or lotion. This is perhaps the quickest of plays, but it works every time.

Don’t Use A Towel

Wiping your face with towel after you rinse is a rookie mistake. It might feel good, or keep you from dripping some water on your toes, but all those loose fibers in the towel will find little places across your face to cling to and irritate your skin. All the effort up until this point will be wiped away.

Aftershave Moisturizer

Cologne is not an aftershave balm. It is not a play in the game of shaving. If you want splotchy skin, then go ahead and waste a few drops of your favorite scent. Seasoned veterans know that only an aftershave balm will cool off your skin and prevent that bad-shave-in-the-locker-room look.

Suggested product: Gillette Fusion ProSeries Irritation Defense Moisturizer

Wash Your Face Before You Sleep

First, wash your hands. Then look at the anti-bacterial soap next to the sink and get that “why not?” look out of your eyes. That soap is made for a visit to the zoo or a kindergarten -- not your face. Just wash your face with a little dab of the cleanser you use before you shave. Rinse quickly with warm water. After washing your face each night, you should also wash your pillowcase weekly, if not more, depending on how many home games you host.

Organize Your Shaving Gear

Resist the urge to drop everything into a drawer or leave it strewn across the sink. Get your shaving gear organized in a case that will hold only your shaving items. This keeps it clean, organized and ready for use or packing for those road games which will always impress her. The best benefit is that you’ll start thinking about shaving in a new way.

• No.5 Don't Leave Your Friends Hanging

Paul Walker tried to go it alone in 2 Fast 2 Furious, but the popular street-racing franchise never ran quite as smoothly without both Vin Diesel and Walker behind the wheel. After Diesel opted out of what he felt was a quickie sequel, Walker was left to take the brunt of the pans, and then didn’t appear at all in Tokyo Drift (though Diesel did, albeit briefly). It wasn’t until the old friends reunited that the franchise roared back to life -- and things worked so well, they brought everybody back for a victory lap in Fast Five.

So take a page from Walker and Diesel: If you made a commitment to your close friend, honor it no matter what. Whether that means traveling halfway across the world to Rio de Janeiro for a heist, halfway across the country for a bachelor party or just halfway across the city for a beer, don’t underestimate the importance of simply showing up.

• No.4 Finding The Right Crew Is Key

It’s one thing to be a good friend, but it’s just as important to find the right friends. And when Brian and Dom need to pull off an impossible heist, they make sure they choose the right people to help them out. Each member of the Fast Five crew brings a different talent to the table, whether it’s the smooth-talking Roman (Tyrese Gibson) or the techie Tej (Ludacris), and together, they’re unstoppable.

The same applies to you and your friends. Whether you’re hitting the basketball court, different situations call for different skill sets. And just like Brian and Dom, finding the right guys to run with can be the difference between a successful night and one that ends in incarceration.

• No.3 A Little Friendly Competition Can Be Healthy

It’s no fun hanging out with someone who turns every little thing into a constant competition, but some back-and-forth is part of what makes male friendship unique.

Good-natured ribbing and a little friendly competition is a major component of male bonding. It’s true for the guys in Fast Five, who

turn a cop car hijacking into an opportunity for a friendly wager, and it’s probably true for you and your buddies, too.

That said, everybody knows that one guy who takes things a little too far, the one who makes a friendly game of Madden overly intense or turns touch football into tackle. Don’t be That Guy. You hang out with your friends to have a good time, not pad your lifetime win total.

• No.2 Money Means Nothing Compared To Friends

It’s the central theme of Fast Five, and the main motivating factor for Dom: Family means everything. And while your friends may not technically be family, you should treat them like they are, and never let petty disputes -- about money or anything else -- come between you. From the Ocean's series to Fast Five, heist movies always face potential problems that bring their large casts together, and someone’s always sacrificing a bigger paycheck to get everyone in the fold. But that applies to the rest of us, too, and if you have to foot the bill for a guys’ night or drop some cash on a plane ticket to a reunion, sometimes you have to be willing to sacrifice in order to get the gang back together again.

• No.1 No Matter How Crazy Things Get, Stick Together

We’re guessing you’ll never have to smash through half of downtown Rio with your best friend, but this lesson still applies: Even when things get crazy in Fast Five -- and we mean really crazy -- Brian and Dom stick together (figuratively and literally). And it’s only because they’re in it side by side that they’re able to pull off such an outrageous heist, physics and logic be damned.

True loyalty characterizes any good male friendship, and that means always having your friend’s back, even if he’s about to do something criminally stupid. Because, ultimately, that’s what friendship comes down to for men. What might seem like an impossible task to do alone, whether it’s building a deck or getting through a messy divorce, becomes a hell of a lot easier when we’ve got a good friend by our side.

No doubt, the face is the most important part of the human body! Isn’t it the face by which we tend to recognize an individual? A face

fresh as a flower, is glowing and healthy and is undoubtedly the most beautiful one. And it is such a face that tends to make you a cynosure gaining you the admiration of all.

A fresh face and glowing skin are the boons that are conferred on us by nature, as we are infants and children. As we grow, countless factors tend to have a negative impact on the beauty of the face. Wouldn’t it be unwise to neglect them? The freshness of the face could be retained if you care to protect, repair and pamper it.

What is needed is a bit of patience, a little amount of time and further a bit of awareness. You could regain the lost freshness and delicacy. You could continue to be the centre of attraction. There are countless methods, interesting yet easy, to retain the freshness and glow of the face.

Here are some causative factors that tend to spoil the beauty and the tried and tested measures to maintaining the health, glow and complexion.

Dead skin cells, dust and toxins get deposited in the body and on the skin causing the complexion to become dull and blemishes to appear.

Steaming for a few minutes, once in a month, could be mentioned as a simple yet effective measure to deep clean the skin. It removes very effectively the accumulated dirt and pollution from deep within the skin. However, frequent steaming for long periods could cause the skin to lose natural essential oils.

Then, exfoliation once every week proves to be the best measure to free the skin of unwanted deposits. There are several ingredients that could be mixed in the right combination and used for exfoliation. For instance, a mixture of dry and powdered neem leaves, Bengal gram powder, turmeric and a little curd make an effective cleanser.

Above all, confine yourself to taking in just fruits and liquids for one entire day, once a month. This gets rid of the toxins accumulated even within the body.

It is the moisture that keeps the skin soft, smooth, tender and glowing. Loss of moisture makes the skin rough and causes wrinkles to appear. Drinking plenty of water and fresh fruit juices, eating plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits and salads helps retain the moisture maintaining the tenderness. You can keep away from premature wrinkles. Massaging the face gently with a moisturizer, in circular movements, relaxes the skin and stimulates blood circulation bringing fresh blood to the face. A mixture of plain yogurt and honey makes a great moisturizer.

The skin under the eyes is very sensitive. Dark circles under the eyes are the worst of enemies for a face fresh as a flower. The most interesting way to beat dark circles is to place green tea bags, the already used ones, under the eyes. The skin receives considerable nourishment and becomes devoid of dark circles.

The face with all its glow, tenderness and freshness so gained certainly makes you ‘a beauty beyond description.

When trying to find the right salon, there are two important things to look out for: cleanliness and a warm welcome with great

customer service.

Cleanliness

The salon should be spotless from top to bottom. A clean looking salon generally means that there is an agenda for hygiene and proper sanitation. So why does this matter? Very simply, clean salons are better structured and organized. The salon and its employees take pride in what they do with a team effort needed to maintain clean and tidy work areas. This “team effort” is very important to the overall running of the salon, including its work flow and how well all services are coordinated and performed. Also, it is much nicer sitting in clean fresh surroundings.

Great Customer Service

First impressions start from when you first make your phone call to enquire. Is the staff helpful on the phone? Or do they leave you on hold for what seems like forever? Do they seem willing to listen to you and your questions?

Staff should be professional at all times, both in their manner and dress codes.

Another handy tip is to have a look at the stylist’s hair. What sort of hairstyle and colors etc are they sporting? Usually, what you see is an indication of what you get!

Acknowledgement from the staff is also very important on your first visit. Do they leave you waiting at the front desk while they gossip amongst themselves? A good sign is when at least one of them greets you straight away and makes you feel welcome and important in an instant.

Another sign of great customer service is if you are offered a free hair consultation and help. If you are, make sure that you ask as many questions as you like. Remember, they are there to help you. Another good sign is if they offer suggestions and make recommendations for your hair type. A good salon will also offer an extra service or pampering extras to keep you feeling important, and last of all, free home hair care advice should always be given.

So whatever your needs may be, a professional salon should always be remembered for good reasons and not for any of the following:

• making you cry on your first visit

• making the girl next to you cry

• having a stylist who is too busy gossiping with the stylist next to her to look after you

• having a stylist who leaves you ten times in the space of 20 minutes to take phone calls

• giving all the customers exactly the same hairstyle

Wardrobes need upgrading for many reasons. Sometimes, old clothing is no longer your size or doesn’t fit as well as it used

to. Other times, clothing becomes dated or faded. You may also be transitioning to a different job or role and need new clothes. Regardless of the reason, a wardrobe upgrade requires an honest assessment of what you currently possess and what is missing.

Analyze Your Wardrobe

Before you buy or throw away anything, it is important to assess your current selection. Create an inventory of all of your clothing. It doesn’t need to be complicated--just make a list of all the garments and accessories you possess. Then look to see what categories of items are missing. Are you lacking professional attire? Does your clothing not fit? Does it feature a long-ago trend? Keep an open mind during your assessment. Once you’ve pinpointed what the major issue is, separate the items into two divisions: items that will work with your upgrade goals and items that will not work.

Modifying and Altering Pieces

Take a look at all the pieces in the “do not work” section. Anything that is too small can be immediately taken away--donate the nice pieces and toss the rest. Separate clothing that fits but is out of fashion next. Take a hard look at each item. Fashion tends to cycle. Pieces that look

great on you but are too trendy can be stored away in plastic bins if you have the storage. Clothing with out of date details, such as certain sleeves, collars or buttons can be modified to omit the dated details. If you can’t sew, take the garments to a tailor or seamstress and get a quote for each. Torn or irreparably stained clothing should be tossed. Clothing that is too big can also be taken to the tailor for alteration. The rest of your pieces should be fine in all other ways except that they don’t fit the look that you are building towards. Keep them and wear them on occasions wear the new look is not necessary.

Budget Savvy Tips

Upgrading a wardrobe is easy if you have a few thousand dollars to spend and can buy your way into a completely new look. Most people don’t have that kind of money to spend solely on clothing. Instead, buy a few basic wardrobe pieces that you can use in multiple ways.

A collared, white dress shirt is almost compulsory for men and women alike if they are looking to upgrade a professional wardrobe. Black or gray slacks can be combined with many different items. Don’t buy for labels, buy for the quality of the garment and shop the sales. Don’t worry about changing bags and purses to stay current. Instead, invest in a classic, high quality leather bag. Don’t buy into any fads. These put a time limit on your wardrobe. Stick with classic pieces that look good on you personally. Finally, care for your clothing. Follow the label directions and pre-treat stains as soon as they happen.

It is normal that after giving birth, you retain some of the weight that you gained during pregnancy. But you do not need to worry because

shedding off that weight can be easy if you know the right way to go about it.

Take It Easy

Before you rush in to losing your postpartum weight, you must remember that your body is still adjusting. Your arms and legs may still be swollen and your pelvic area hasn’t returned to normal yet. It usually takes about 6 months before your body returns to its normal metabolic state. So go easy. Do not strain yourself because in time, your body will begin to adjust at its own pace.

Healthy Lifestyle

Actually, a healthy lifestyle can be one of the best ways to lose weight after having a baby. This means eating healthy and eating right. You need not decrease your food consumption immediately as you still need all the nutrients that you can get from food, especially if you are nursing.

Well Balanced Diet

Be reminded that proper pacing is important. You want to make sure you lose the weight the right way. That’s why having a well balanced diet is advisable in order to control your body weight. When at all

possible make sure to eat at least breakfast lunch and dinner. Also, don’t forget while you’re on the move with your baby to grab a healthy snack as well.

Exercise

Apart from your diet, you must also include exercise in your daily routine. This can also be a good

way to relieve yourself of the stress from taking care of your new born baby. But do not over exert yourself as this can be harmful to your health too. Start with less vigorous exercise like walking every morning so that your body can properly adjust. Then gradually lead up to jogging, taking a fitness class, or exercising

at home.

Breastfeeding

Lastly, breast feeding can also be a great way to lose pregnancy weight. It is proven that it takes at least 500 calories in order to produce milk. So if you are nursing, you

are burning calories just by sitting and feeding your baby.

Combining all these techniques can definitely help you shed those unwanted pregnancy pounds. Just keep in mind that

you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself too soon. You may want to lose those pounds overnight, but you definitely want to do it the right way.

You can’t walk into a phone store, mall, or electronics retailer without seeing a bevvy of tablets on display. Instead of using clunky laptop computers with keyboards attached, tablets are an easy way to both access the web and use the innovative apps that are featured on smartphones. Because of the touchscreen technology featured on these devices, it is a more high-tech method of browsing than traditional computers.

Sometime in the future tablets may take over as the predominant computing technology over desktop and laptop models. Here are 5 reasons why owning a tablet will overtake computers in the years to come:

Specialized Browsers

With geolocation technology and browsers, like Amazon Silk powered by extensive cloud networks, using a mobile tablet to conduct searches wherever you are is an effective way to find relative information about your current location. Cloud networks are able to predict what you will search for and give you results based on real-time algorithms.

Lower Price

Purchasing a quality laptop can cost up to $1,000 and extra if you want virus protection, Tech Support, and a warranty. The most expensive tablets are iPads which can cost over $600 if you want a version with extensive memory. There are plenty of other tablets that run on Android’s Honeycomb software which cost a fraction of the price of a PC or Mac. HP even has their tablet priced at a ridiculously low $99.

Versatility

Not only do tablets perform all of the functions of computers, they also do everything a smartphone does except make calls. You don’t need to carry it around in a bag with its power chord because the battery life is enough to get your through an entire day at work. The games and apps on tablets are also much more interactive because you are using your fingers to perform actions.

Ease of Trading Ideas

The most effective way to exchange media, currency, or ideas through a computer is to send emails, credit card numbers, or social media messages. With NFC technology soon to become common in all mobile devices, we will no longer have to rely on physical properties for our exchanges. By simply being in range of another tablet device, you can share songs, movies, and other recording with friends. Google is going to introduce a new commerce system that will allow you to

Paper Replacement

Amazon has recently released a color tablet version of their popular Kindle series of eReaders. This will revolutionize the way we use books and read materials that have traditionally been printed out for us. Kindle’s are priced as low as $79 now, and ebooks are cheaper and more environmentally friendly than their physical counterparts.

If you are skeptical about purchasing a tablet device, don’t be. Instead be skeptical about throwing a lot of money into a laptop or desktop that will become obsolete as soon as you leave the store.

foxLv2 Portable SpeakerLooking for a portable speaker and expecting big sound may not

always be possible for many people. For the most part, what they may get is a speaker that can only provide so-so sound output. It is a good thing that this is not always true, especially with the likes of the new foxLv2 Portable Speaker.

The new foxLv2 Portable Speaker is not only unique in terms of its name. It is quite unique in that it is able to provide big sound for quite a small package. It features a sound driver that works both as a tweeter and a woofer. But aside from that it is also designed to have a passive bass radiator to handle the bass sound output better. It also comes with Bluetooth support, making wireless streaming of audio from Bluetooth enabled devices possible. With a battery charge that can last for up to 8 hours, it is indeed ideal for travel. The foxLv2 Portable Speaker is available at Soundmatters for US$200.

Apple iPhone 4S spotted in iTunes beta

We’re just a day away from Apple’s iPhone event, where it’s expected to out (hopefully) an iPhone 5 as well as an iPhone 4S.

Well the second of those is a dead cert, if the latest version of iTunes is to be believed.

The latest iTunes beta, released on Friday, contains the product name ‘iPhone 4S’ in the description tag, as well as featuring an image that looks the same as the regular white iPhone 4, according to a screenshot leaked to MacRumors. So it looks like the iPhone 4S will look identical to the iPhone 4, as predicted.

After some more digging, it seems the iPhone 4S reference first appeared in iTunes beta 6.1, which was released on 29 August this year, so a little over a month ago.

There’s no word on an iPhone 5 yet, prompting speculation Apple will only unveil the 4S, a tweaked version of the iPhone 4, at its event tomorrow. If that is the case, all that talk of a slimmer tapered design, 8-megapixel camera, and larger screen was pure bunkum. We’ll bring you all the official news as it breaks tomorrow evening, so keep it locked to T3.com for more.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 bike incoming from 14 Bike Co

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the better iPad 2 competitors we’ve seen, and now it’s got an accessory to help it pull away from

the competition. Made courtesy of UK bike manufacturer 14 Bike Co, it’s a customised road bike complete with a holder for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

The holder for the Samsung galaxy Tab 10.1 is made from the same carbon fibre as used in F1 cars, so it should be nice and sturdy, while the bike itself has a steel frame and two-tone black and white paint job.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is accessible from the side, though we wouldn’t advise using it while on the move. Not unless you fancy going headfirst into a postbox. You can download mileage and speed apps from Android Marketplace and track your trails though; then when you reach your destination, just clip it off and use it as normal.

It will actually go on sale in the UK, though there’s no pricing or release date given. We’ll bring you more when we get it.

LiveLens MFT adapter brings aperture control to Canon EF

lensesIt may be serving a somewhat small niche, but we’re guessing that

niche will be plenty pleased that something like the LiveLens MFT adapter now exists. That’s MFT as in Micro Four Thirds, and the adapter is for Canon EF lenses. Nothing too special there, but this particular adapter now also allows for aperture control for the first time, which is actually done on the adapter itself, not the camera -- the only remaining drawback is a lack of autofocus. Expectedly that ability comes at quite a premium -- you’ll have to fork over $442 for the adapter and an extra $52 for the necessary 9V battery cable.

OnLive MicroConsole and controller unboxing pictures

OnLive will soon be heading to the UK, along with the OnLive Micro Console and wireless controller. T3 gets snap happy with our unboxing.

OnLive has already been available in the US for a year now, giving us tantalising glimpses at what the cloud-gaming system is capable of. Even with only 100 title’s the service proved to be hugely successful at launch, and with the promise of thousands of title’s when it launches in the UK it has the potential to be huge.

BBM for Android pictures leak ahead of official rollout

BlackBerry’s hugely popular BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) service looks set to be rolled out across rival devices and operating systems

with BBM for Android snapped ahead of launch

RIM’s hugely popular BlackBerry Messenger service looks set to be rolled out across rival devices with screens of a BBM app running on Android making a premature appearance.

The screens, which were sent to T3 via an anonymous source, show a Beta model of the free to use instant messaging service running on an unspecified Google Android OS powered handset, adding meat to the formerly speculative rumours that BlackBerry is to bring its BBM service to Android and iOS devices in the near future.

BBM for Android Release Date

Currently available exclusively to BlackBerry handset owners, the much loved BlackBerry messenger service is, according to our internal source, on its way to rival handsets with the BBM for Android app currently in the “final stages of testing.” Further teasing the service’s more widespread availability they added “it should be out by 2012.”

BBM for Android Features

Whilst we are still uncertain exactly what guise BBM for Android will take, it is expected the app-based service will be free to download and play host to the same functionality bestowed upon BlackBerry handset users. The source responsible for the leaked images added: “I’m afraid there isn’t really much more I can tell you apart from it seems to work quite well with Android’s push notifications.”

Would a BBM app for Android or iOS benefit you or further mark the end for BlackBerry handsets? Let us know what you think by the comments box below.

Amazon Kindle Fire launch:All the details

The Amazon Kindle Fire was undoubtedly the star of the show at Amazon’s press conference where they also had a few more

hardware surprises up their sleeves. We round-up all the other big announcements in a big day for tablet and Kindle fans...

Before we could lock eyes on the Kindle Fire in all its glorious wonder, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos built up the anticipation for the Android tablet device nicely by serving up a few little hardware suprises.

Helping you catch up on all the Kindle Fire details and the announcements that Kindle fans will be keen to find out about, see below for our Amazon press conference round-up.

Stay focused

If you are like me, staying focused can be very difficult. The solution is to block out the sites that tend to distract you (eg. Facebook, YouTube, Life, etc.). This app lets you easily block the websites that distract you and keeps them blocked for a pre-determined period. There are some pretty interesting features including a nuclear option that blocks everything except for the sites that you explicitly allow. One tip I can give you is to “hide” the Stay Focusd icon because you might have the tendency to disable it when the temptation becomes overbearing. Also enable the app to function in “incognito”, otherwise you might end up opening incognito windows to get back to your distractions.

Timer tab

There are numerous timers out there. The one I am testing now is called Timer Tab. Just set the amount of minutes and it automatically counts down. It is very pretty but there are other timers with more functions including alarms, stopwatches, etc.

Chrome apps for project management

There are also numerous Chrome apps project management. Some of the latest that I reviewed are Multitask and Gantter.

Multitask

This is visually a more appealing option and it allows you to upload MS project files (Google Docs integration option is said to be coming soon). What I like about this is the graphics, which is smooth and visually pleasing.

Gantter

This is what I am currently using, it is not as visually appealing as Multitask but you can customize more features including columns and other minor details. You can save and upload files from Google docs and Microsoft. In addition, this has relatively less glitches than Multitask.

Chrome apps for notes

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any viable Chrome apps that can rival the likes of Microsoft’s Office OneNote. The following are some apps that you could use in a combination. I actually use all of the following…

Quick note

This allows you to make notes via Chrome and saves them on the cloud. You can sign up for this using a Google Account. You can open it on an existing webpage and it slides into view, taking up about 1/5 of

the page. The problem is that it is not transparent and the size of the writing space cannot be customized. It is far better to open it on a new tab and start writing on it there. You can paste pictures and add some simple formatting. However, this is not even close to stand-alone note taking options like MS Office OneNote.

Diggo web highlighter

A very helpful tool when you want to highlight key text, add bookmarks or add sticky notes. You can visit the web page later and still access the highlighted bits and notes that you placed earlier. The tool is also not intrusive and interface is very simple.

Google screen capture

A neat little app for taking screenshots. You can take screenshots of the entire page, screen, or even parts of the screen. Once you have taken the shot, you can highlight and add annotations. In addition, you can save the files to a local folder. My tip would be to memorize some of the shortcuts, which can be especially helpful if you want to take screen clippings of PDF files. This is because in my experience, the only option that works is the “Capture Screen Region” and if you click on the app to access the option, the menu blocks the view.

Easy reader

The easy reader helps you focus on one part of the page when reading. This is quite a nice app but frankly, I have never actually thought of using it much. I suppose it never crosses my mind to access it when I have something interesting to read. Not one of the best Chrome apps but still worth giving a try.

iReader

This is a great app for stripping a webpage of pictures or unhelpful alignment and just looking at the text. This may have a similar function but it is very different to Easy Reader. With this app, you can toggle pictures on and off, share (Facebook, Twitter or email), zoom and print. I would recommend customizing the size of the display via the settings.

Postpone adder

This saves unread web pages to your Google reader so that you can read it later. It is very easy to use; a simple click would do.

Google Dictionary

The dictionary tool is quite useful. Simple double click a word and the meaning appears. For more detailed definitions, you will have to copy the word paste it on the app’s search box.

Power Tool BatteriesImportant Information About Them

Power tool batteries determine the performance of your cordless tools. So while purchasing a cordless power tool for your household

project voltage of the batteries though important is not the only factor to be taken into consideration. Their amp/hour capacity should also be checked before opting for it. Battery cost is the capital cost in any power tools. Such rechargeable batteries have cells with voltage of 1.2V, 1.5V or 3.6V. Batteries with voltage of 3.6V to 12 V are used in light duty tools and high duty tools need 14.4V to 36 V They may last for short time even after being charged because of the “memory effect” in them, which affects their runtime seriously.

Power tool batteries should be used regularly for its smooth functioning. Numerous small batteries together make up one battery. It’s electric current is measured by voltage while how long it will last is determined by ampere hour. They are also available in three types for using in power tools that is

1. Lithium ion also known as Li-ion 2.Nickel Cadmium also known as Ni-cad and 3. Nickel Metal Hydride also known as Ni-MH.

Lithium ion has a life span for more than 1200 charges while Nickel Cadmium will survive 400 charge cycles and thereafter needs to be replaced. Nickel Metal Hydride will last more than 400 charges.

Power tool batteries if overcharged will reduce its life span. It is the most common occurrence that we forget to switch off the battery which is left charging, sometimes overnight. Because of the heat that is generated it damages the battery. You not only spoil your battery, the energy is wasted and you are the risk of electrical fire. To avoid risks and accidents you should take precautionary measures. The new types of batteries have the options of inbuilt cooler fan and sounds to indicate that the charging is over. But none of them switch off automatically. They are costly products and in order to avoid incurring expenses on them it is advisable to take good care of them.

Power tool batteries replacement is a costly affair that all of us are aware of. The latest new service that you might not be cognizant with is the power tool battery rebuilding services. The battery is rebuilt with new cells which are better than the original, improving its performance and life span. In this process whole battery is pulled apart and then the new cells are put in. Even if it sounds simple it is not do-it- yourself kind of a project. Non working batteries make up the most of the wastes and it is hazardous for environment. With advancement in technology the old batteries become unavailable in market and your tool becomes useless too. With rebuilding service you will be able to use your tool as long as you wish.

Without power tool batteries your tool will become ineffective and hence taking good care of it is very important. So do not overcharge your battery resulting in its reduced life span and save your money too.

The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor by Robert Kirkman , Jay Bonansinga

In the Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense

of justice: whether it’s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople’s amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial in the history of the Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.

The Storm Before the Calm: Book 1 in the Conversations with Humanity Series by Neale Donald Walsch

Something happened in early 2011 that hasn’t happened in decades, perhaps centuries—and we didn’t even notice it. That is, we didn’t see it for what it was.

Massive unrest from Tunisia to Egypt to Libya rocked the Arab world and threw the globe into political crisis. Within days, an earthquake-tsunami-nuclear calamity of terrifying proportions shocked Japan and sent the world reeling once again, even as the globe’s financial markets shuddered to sustain themselves while states and nations tottered on the brink of bankruptcy—where many still linger.

All of this, of course, we did notice. What we may have missed was that ancient predictions for this period of time called for exactly this: simultaneous environmental, political, and financial disasters. Were we seeing the beginning of

“the end of history”—and not picking up the signal?

In his prescient new book The Storm Before The Calm, seven-time New York Times best-selling author Neale Donald Walsch offers a startling answer: yes. But Walsch also says there is nothing to fear, advancing an extraordinary explanation for what is happening even now all over the planet.

Then—and more important—he provides a stunning prescription for healing our lives and our world through the answering of seven simple questions, inviting people everywhere to join in an earth-saving exchange at TheGlobalConversation.com.

Compelling and perfectly timed, The Storm Before The Calm answers every question that is worth asking about December, 2012 and beyond.

The Galapagos Islands draw thousands of visitors every year, including scientists,

students, naturalists, photographers and more. The Galapagos Islands’ status as a must-see, “bucket list” sort of destination also draws in retirees and off-the beaten path travelers. While the Islands are often overlooked by the

“in-between” crowd of people in their 20’s and 30’s, the Galapagos Islands actually make for an outstanding honeymoon destination. Why pick Galapagos for your honeymoon? Here are five reasons:

The Galapagos Islands are Romantic

That’s the number one qualification after all, isn’t it? A honeymoon is a romantic vacation, and the Galapagos Islands fit the bill. Moonlit cruises? Check. Exotic location? Check. Excellent facilities and service? Check and check. The dramatic sunsets, fearless wildlife and memorable landscapes combine with first-rate services to create the perfect atmosphere for romance.

The Archipelago has something for everyone.

He wants hiking, she wants a beach. He wants water sports, she wants shopping. Galapagos is about not having to sacrifice or compromise. There are great beaches and hikes on the islands, as well as snorkeling and other water sports. The towns on the islands have a surprising amount of quality souvenirs from all over Ecuador and South America. You can even decide between land-based and cruise ship tours. Why fight over a destination when Galapagos has it all?

The “Enchanted Islands” are a destination for the young and vibrant.

The Islands are on many people’s “bucketlist” of places to visit. Many retirees go because they finally have the time and money to do so. Unfortunately, by the time they get there, many seniors find that some of the hikes and islands are too challenging for them and they miss out. The Galapagos Islands are best enjoyed by those who are old enough to appreciate them and still young enough to hop from one lava rock to the next, perfect for young newlyweds!

The Islands are more affordable than you think.

Many young couples are not yet established and may avoid seemingly pricey destinations like the Galapagos Islands. Although the costs are undeniable - airfare to and from Ecuador and then to the islands, plus park fees and the cost of cruises or lodging - they are relatively low right now. The worldwide economic downturn has had one positive effect: fewer people are visiting Galapagos and the tour companies and hotels are willing to make deals they would not have considered before.

Ecuador has much more to offer than just the Islands.

A honeymoon to the Galapagos Islands carries the side benefit of a trip to Ecuador. Why not spend a few days relaxing in the natural spas of Papallacta surrounded by the Andes, or taking a romantic carriage ride in Quito’s charming colonial center? For such a small nation, Ecuador is home to a wonderfully diverse ecosystem with everything from snow-capped volcanoes to sandy beaches.

Working out is important for the body. So, too, is eating right after exercising. Both form the optimal basis of natural health. A recent

study comes with a few excellent health tips for people actively trying to get the most out of exercising. What you eat after can affect all

the effort you did before. Let’s dive into this latest batch of health secrets.

Many of the health benefits of aerobic exercise come from the last exercise session you did. A single workout has a bigger impact on you health than the cumulative effects of weeks, months or years of exercising.

With that in mind, we should all know that a new study found that the nature of these benefits can be greatly affected by the food we eat afterwards. What you choose to eat will have different effects on the body’s metabolism.

The study found that exercise enhanced insulin sensitivity, particularly when meals eaten after the exercise session were low in carbohydrates. When you have enhanced insulin sensitivity, it is easier for the body to move sugar from the blood into tissues where it is stored or used as fuel. When that insulin sensitivity is impaired, it is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes.

One of the things the study found was that depriving yourself of calories after exercising (not eating a lot) didn’t improve insulin sensitivity any more than when

they didn’t worry that much about calories. The idea: you don’t have to starve yourself after exercise to still

reap some of the important health benefits.

The study included nine healthy sedentary men who underwent four sessions that lasted about 30 hours. Here are the four sessions:

1. No exercise, and meals matched their daily calorie expenditure. This was the control trial.

2. Exercise for 90 minutes at moderate intensity. After, meals matched the calories they just burned, with carefully balanced carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

3. The same as number two, except they ate meals afterward with relatively low carbohydrate content. But here they still ate enough

total calories to match what they burned off.

4. The same as number three, but the low-calorie meals provided less energy than what was burned off. The food here had one-third fewer calories than the other sessions. This session had relatively high carbohydrate content to replace those burned off.

The exercise, if you are wondering, was a stationary bicycle and a treadmill. Each exercise session tended to increase insulin sensitivity. When people ate fewer carbohydrates after exercise, it enhanced insulin sensitivity significantly more. The results showed that people can still reap some important health benefits from exercise without under-eating or shedding pounds.

Plus, it reinforced the idea that each exercise session can affect the body’s physiology. In other words, every workout counts. Don’t get give up if you haven’t exercised in a while.

Headaches

When you get a headache and decide to take an Aspirin, take it right away, when it first starts, otherwise, it may not work very good. If you have a slight headache, you may want to try exercising. But if you have a severe headache, don’t exercise, because it will make the headache worse, especially if you have a migraine. Something you can do is protect your eyes from any light, because it might lead to a headache. This includes : sun, fluorescent lighting, television, etc. They can start with squinting, eyestrain, and then a headache. Here are some things that you could avoid that trigger headaches : strong perfumes, a lot of caffeine, milk, chewing gum, high salt intakes, chocolate, nuts, and aged cheese. Also, if you eat ice cream too fast, you probably will feel an intense rush of pain in your head. Eat ice cream slowly so that your palate will cool gradually instead of receiving a shock of cold. Here is a few extra tricks to try : 1. Using your forefinger and thumb, apply pressure in a massaging motion to the bony ridges at the back of the neck. 2. You may want to try a cold compress on your forehead and/or neck. 3. Some people

prefer hot showers by pointing the shower-head at the back of your neck.

Hiccups

Try one teaspoon of Sugar swallowed dry. The sugar acts on nervous impulses that cause the diaphragm to spasm and relaxes them. My favorite that has never let me down is taking a bag and re-breathing the air for a few minutes while taking a fresh breath when the carbon dioxide builds up to much. But this only works well if you catch the hiccups when they first start. (remember not to let a child see you do this without explaining to them what your doing and never use or leave a plastic bag lying around). Actually their are hundreds of cures and here are a few. Yank forcefully on the tongue, Lift the uvula with a spoon, Tickle the roof of your mouth with a cotton swab where the hard and soft palate meet, Chew and swallow dry bread, Suck a Lemon soaked with

Angostura bitters, Hold your breath, Suck on crushed ice.

حتليل االختبار النفسي

إن الش��عور بالذنب أحد مظاهر عدم اإلستقرار اإلنفعالي، والذي يرتبط إرتباطا وثيقا – ولألس��ف – بعملي��ة التكيف الثقافي. إن قواعد )ماينبغي وم��اال ينبغي( والتي يفرضها علينا اآلب��اء، والقواعد الدينية تخلق حاالت م��ن التبعي��ة الغير منطقية في الغال��ب، والتي تقوم عل��ي معايير صارمة للحكم علي الس��لوك والتفكير باالضافة للعقاب املقرر علي تلك الينبغيات،

والالينبغيات.

إن األخ��الق ومعايير احلكم علي الس��لوك ال ينبغ��ي أن تكون من مصدر خارجي بل ينبغي أن تكون تلك التي يفرضها الش��خص علي نفسه، والشك في ان اخلطايا ليست سوي أخطاء او سلوكيات في االجتاه اخلطايء والبد ان نتعل��م منها. إن التعلم هو احملور االساس��ي للحياة وهو حقيقة العاقبة

إنن��ا إذا تعلمن��ا ذلك الدرس فإننا – أنفس��نا – من س��يتحرر من أخطاء املاضي بعدم تكرارها. إننا مبواصل��ة تبرير أفعالنا والدفاع عنها بوصفها صواب��ا رغ��م تعارضها مع الصوت الصادق للضمي��ر .. ذلك الصوت غير

املسموع إال أنه معلوم دائما، ومع الذات العليا فإننا نواصل املعاناة.

إن الذي��ن يح��رزون نقاطا مرتفعة عل��ي ذلك اإلختبار يقلل��ون من أهمية أنفسهم ويشعرون بعدم إستحقاقهم االحترام الالزم، ويشعرون بعد التوافق مع ضمائرهم بغض النظر عما إذا كان س��لوكهم مشني أخالقيا بالفعل ام غير ذلك. إن املبالغة في لوم الذات – والتي تس��تند باألس��اس إلي خليفة

دينية – سمة من سمات الشخصية العصابية.

أما الذي��ن يحرزون نقاطا أقل علي ذلك اإلختب��ار، فإنهم ال مييلون كثيرا ملعاقبة انفس��هم، أو الندم علي س��لوكياتهم في املاض��ي، وذلك االجتاه إن لم يصحبه شعور باملس��ئولية فلن يكون أكثر من مرض نفسي وعدم توافق إجتماعي. والتحرر احلقيقي من الش��عور بالذن��ب ال يعود إلي قصور في االحس��اس باملس��ئولية، وليس عدم إحس��اس مبش��اعر اآلخرين – علي العكس، فالش��خص املتحرر من الش��عور بالذنب هو ذلك الشخص املنفتح عل��ي احلقيقة الكامن��ة بداخله ) وليس بالض��رورة أن تكون تلك احلقيقة هي مايعتبره اخلط الثقافي للمجتمع هي احلقيقة(. وذلك الش��خص يقبل مس��ئوليته عن نتائج أفعاله وتبعاتها. وقد تعلم ذلك الش��خص تعلما كامال وامينا للدروس التي علمته إياها اخلبرة والتجارب ويس��ير في حياته وفقا

Freshen Up the Stinky Garbage Disposal

“Lemon rinds ground in the disposal will deodorize your sink’s drain 1-2-3,” says Edelman. “And bonus, unlike vinegar, which leaves no scent, lemons provide a clean, crisp aroma.” Just slice a lemon into chubby quarters, slip them into the sink’s disposal, turn on the hot water and flip the power switch. Run the disposal until you hear the “gurgle-gurgle-grind-grind” sound—when that noise stops, it means the lemon is chopped and swallowed up. Turn off the disposal.

Sanitize the Microwave

The lingering smell of popcorn, pizza and whatever you might have heated up recently can overwhelm a microwave. Edelman’s advice is to cut a whole lemon into super-thin slices and put the pieces in a microwavable bowl. Fill the bowl with hot water, place in the microwave and cook on high for one minute. The citric acid’s antibacterial properties will kill bacteria while the heat works like a humidifier to loosen icky, caked-on food. Afterward, wipe the oven with a damp cloth.

Naturally Clean with Lemon

Forget the cleaning products under your sink. You probably have a very powerful one right in your fridge: Lemon, which adds such welcome zest to food and cocktails, is also a mild but highly effective cleaning agent.What makes lemon such a powerful cleanser? Its high acid content, which enables the fruit to work as a powerful antibacterial sanitizer that combats common household bacteria, says Julie Edelman, author of The Accidental Housewife: How to Overcome Housekeeping Hysteria One Task at a Time. Here’s how to put it to work degreasing, deodorizing and more.

Ways to Clean with LEMON

Put a Shine on Metal

When it comes to copper, brass and chrome, nix harsh chemical polishes and instead put some elbow grease behind half a lemon. “Lemons are highly acidic, which enables them to cut through and loosen mineral deposits, making them easier to wipe away,” says Edelman. For extra oomph, before scrubbing, dip the fruit half in salt—it will help exfoliate the surface for added shine.

Wash the Windows

Four tablespoons of lemon juice (either fresh or out of the bottle) mixed with a half-gallon of water makes an effective window cleaner—sans chemicals and streaking. The powerful citric acid dissolves dirt, grime and water stains, leaving your windows sparkling.

Deodorize the Laundry

It doesn’t take much to combat the odors of work, the gym and the everyday grind. Adding just one teaspoon of lemon juice to the laundry along with detergent will provide a fresh, clean scent to socks, undergarments and other clothing.

Clean Hard-to-Reach Places

Make a paste of lemon juice and borax. With a toothbrush, use the fresh-smelling cleanser to scrub tiles and around drains. This mixture is also ideal for all those evil nooks and crannies!

Sanitize a Cutting Board

Spruce up that kitchen workhorse-the cutting board-by squeezing a lemon half over the top and letting the juice absorb for 10 minutes. (It soaks into wood especially well, but this also works on plastic cutting boards.) This will loosen stains. Next, kill bacteria by using the fruit to scrub the board

Hand-Wash Dishes

When you run out of dish soap, slice a lemon in half and sprinkle baking soda on top, working the lemon half like you would a Brillo pad. Watch as the citric acid cuts, loosens and then dissolves grease, giving your pots and pans a shiny glow. Oh, and your dishpan hands will smell sweet!

Nix Soap Scum in the Shower

Instead of tending to the shower tiles, doors and fixtures with an abrasive chemical treatment, use this homemade natural remedy: Juice six lemons and pour the contents into a spray bottle. “The citric acid will break down hard water deposits and dissolve filmy soap scum,” says Edelman. “Also, the antibacterial and antiseptic properties will sanitize the space.”

No. 1 Singapore Airlines

In every category of our awards, Singapore Airlines consistently outpaces the pack. Even though its scores went down-slightly-since 2010, it still beats the competition, thanks to innovations such as in-flight Wi-Fi, entertainment systems that allow you to play your own video and audio through your iPod, and USB ports for all passengers. But it’s the famous in-flight service—credit the legendary Singapore Girl in her sarong designed by Parisian couturier Pierre Balmain-that still keeps the rest of the pack at bay. - Everett Potter

No. 2 Emirates

Ranked No. 2 as it was in 2010, the airline has improved its scores and even taken on a better reputation for value and food, while steadfastly maintaining its reliability for both in-flight service and customer service. Its reputation as an innovator-it pioneered laptop Wi-Fi in 2004 and mobile phones back in 2008-is another reason it remains one of our readers’ favorites. - Everett Potter

No. 3 Etihad Airways

High marks all around, but the second highest scores for in-flight service are the hallmarks of this flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates. On-board comforts include Cradle Recline seats in economy class, for a seat pitch of 32 to 34 inches. Apart from 600 hours of in-flight entertainment, you can charge and play your iPod and other devices through its E-BOX System. -Everett Potter

No. 4 Air New Zealand

Improved cabin comfort and an increase in value helped Air New Zealand climb up the ranks from seventh position in last year’s poll. Food, in-flight service, and customer service also went up, just enough to nudge the carrier into our top five category. The airline’s Skycouch—three economy seats that convert to a bed—must have helped the cabin comfort ranking. -Everett Potter

No. 5 Virgin America

The highest-ranking domestic airline in our poll—and the only one in the top five-Virgin America scores impressively high marks with incremental improvements in every category. In other words, the airline founded on Virgin Atlantic’s formula for service, innovation, and attitude just keeps on getting better. The combination of low fares and tech improvements-it’s installing Lufthansa Systems’ BoardConnect to radically upgrade its Red entertainment system to enable you to use your own devices-keep it at the forefront. -Everett Potter

No. 6 Virgin Atlantic Airways

Close on the heels of its American offspring comes Sir Richard Branson’s flagship carrier, which pioneered cheek and style (not to mention seat-back video and amenity kits in every class) and gave the customers what they wanted (including pioneering economy plus). Fliers seem to like it, judging by the scores that have edged up in every category since last year. But since the other airlines did even better, it slipped from last year’s No. 4 position. -Everett Potter

No. 7 Cathay Pacific Airways

Cathay has always played second fiddle to Singapore when it comes to Asia-based airlines, and despite incremental improvements in every category except food-down just a tad-it slipped down from last year’s No. 5 ranking. But a flight on Cathay remains a singular pleasure. The

“fixed shell” economy seat means that no one can recline into your space (your seat reclines within your space). -Everett Potter

No. 8 All Nippon Airways (ANA)

The carrier that used to exist in the shadow of Japan Air Lines (JAL) continues to move up the ranks from last year’s 11th position-and way ahead of JAL. Marked improvements in cabin comfort, in-flight service, customer service, and value helped. And that’s even before it has introduced such innovations as women’s-only bathrooms with Japanese-style bidet-toilets on the new Dreamliner 787.-Everett Potter

No. 9 Korean Air

Korean Air edged up from tenth place last year, with readers giving it slightly better scores in every category. Noteworthy are the ergonomically designed “slim seats” in economy with 34-inch pitch, not to mention the USB ports and chargers at every seat. The menus—Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Western are standard on every flight—have also improved. -Everett Potter

No. 10 Thai International Airways

While Thai Airways improved in every category, other airlines did more. Hence the fall from last year’s No. 8 position. But it did rank higher with customer and in-flight service, as well as food. After all, this carrier takes care of kids, with free toys, games, and books, and offers private Premium Economy cabins with 42-inch pitch seats with 122 degrees of recline. It’s just that the other guys pushed the envelope a bit further.

No. 11 Qatar Airways

Qatar suffered a fall from grace, after last year’s No. 3 ranking. Readers were not as happy with the airline’s cabin comfort, nor its in-flight service and customer service. Even its food was regarded as slipping in quality. Sure, it has touch screens with 150 movies and 500 music channels, 50 interactive video games for kids, and connectivity for all but calls for your smartphone. But the Doha-based carrier clearly has some catching up to do. -Everett Potter

No. 12 Finnair

Kudos to Finnair for showing the biggest improvement of any airline in the top 20. Vaulting from last year’s position at No. 28, it ratcheted up both its in-flight service and customer service. Cabin amenities, such as economy seats with a 32-inch pitch and lie-flat business class seats, also helped. But value and food were also radically improved, according to our readers, and that propelled this airline right up the ranks to the edge of the top 10. -Everett Potter

No. 13 Asiana Airlines

How did this airline slip from a No. 6 ranking last year? It fell short of its previous marks in every category, but especially in customer service. In our poll, that’s always a reason for a downgrade. Yes, its economy seats can have as much as 34-inch seat pitch, while the OZ Quadra Smartium seat in business is a self-contained lie-flat pod. Still, only Asiana’s food got somewhat higher marks this year. -Everett Potter

No. 14 Air Tahiti Nui

Call it the little airline that could. While it dropped from last year’s No. 12 ranking, the airline actually improved or held steady in all categories except food. There are little niceties-the amenities kit in economy, the gardenias they give you on boarding-and larger ones, like a new fleet of Airbuses. Year after year, Air Tahiti Nui offers one of the most consistent flying experiences. -Everett Potter

In all Westernized countries, colorectal cancer is among the deadliest tumors you can get. This story isn’t about how you eat to cut down the risk, because that much is well known. More whole grains, less meat, fewer fatty foods, and alcohol in moderation are shields against colorectal cancer.

Instead, this story is about people who have colorectal cancer or used to have it. Few studies had focused on how diet could help stop the tumor from recurring, and help the patient in surviving. But in the past few years, researchers have looked more and more at the eating patterns of people with colon cancer.

That includes people with (or who have had) a very serious condition: stage III colon cancer. At that point, the tumor has spread to the lymph nodes, and from there runs the risk of spreading anywhere. Still, in such dire situations, food could still play a major role in influencing a patient’s chance of survival. Also, food could help dictate whether cancer will recur in someone who has successfully treated it.

One way of eating can be described as “Western.” Its focus is a touch unhealthy, and includes refined grains, sweets, fatty foods, and red and processed meats. A much more powerful way to eat for disease protection is to fill your plates with fruit, legumes, vegetables, fish,

poultry and whole grains.

Can eating one way be powerful enough to influence something as serious as colorectal cancer? As studies of people undergoing chemotherapy have shown, it most certainly can. Patients who tend to maintain a more Westernized diet, with the less healthy foods, tend to have a far greater risk of cancer returning to their body if chemotherapy was successful. What’s more is that they are also at significantly greater risk of dying from cancer.

The flip of the coin is a bit different. People who follow a healthy diet, with lots of produce and other

nutrient-rich items, don’t really influence their cancer recurrence or survival.

So, in the end, it is actually about what you don’t eat, rather

than what you do eat. Colon cancer survivors who don’t

eat lots of processed and fatty foods have greater protection against recurrence.

It’s about limiting certain foods. A diet light in (or preferably void of) red meat, refined grains, and sugary snacks is one

solid step that colon cancer patients can take

to improve their outlook. And when one has been

diagnosed with cancer and has experienced chemotherapy, these

sorts of steps are an easy lifestyle change to make. Mix it together with

regular exercise, and you are doing a lot to help create your own cancer shield.
