Though the gesture-based interfaces exist, these use only set movements that translate into particular instructions. A new system named Data Miming has been developed which can recognize physical objects from gestures without the user needing to memorize a "vocabulary" of specific movements.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="infuse"><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">"Starting from the observation that humans can effortlessly understand which objects are being described when hand motions are used, we asked why computers can't do the same thing," says Christian Holz of the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany who developed the system with Andy Wilson at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="infuse"><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Data Miming uses a Microsoft Kinect motion-capture camera to create a 3D representation of a user's hand movements. Voxels, or pixels in three dimensions, are activated when users pass their hands through the space represented by each voxel. And when a user encircles their fingers to indicate a table leg, say, the system can also identify that all of the enclosed space should be included in the representation. It then compares user-generated representations with a database of objects in voxel form and selects the closest match.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="infuse"><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Watch the video at YouTube which might give you a better picture:</span><span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hfv4iUNs5I">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hfv4iUNs5I</a><o:p></o:p></span></div></div>Phayas AbdulRahmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07767468555092545452noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061948900442323660.post-7915188797609986572011-08-05T05:37:00.000-07:002011-08-05T05:37:11.917-07:00iPhone - Convert into a Universal Remote Control<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTsj1k2-Trb3ACvK0ZT4N8_VogDvHad5yoxHvNIxBXG9ABaqDVDrqfJxNTYBzZKceYxGo9-oo_m5HCrsuiyaXWoWSqnVJWgm0Amb-L1txjKoG-aLysmhyphenhyphen3txTC_qFfoc_dRodpb_xPfjok/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTsj1k2-Trb3ACvK0ZT4N8_VogDvHad5yoxHvNIxBXG9ABaqDVDrqfJxNTYBzZKceYxGo9-oo_m5HCrsuiyaXWoWSqnVJWgm0Amb-L1txjKoG-aLysmhyphenhyphen3txTC_qFfoc_dRodpb_xPfjok/s1600/Untitled.jpg" /></a></div> Here is good news for people who are too lazy to pick up the TV remote to change the channel.<br />
A Berlin-based company has developed a new gadget that converts your iPhone into a universal TV controller, which works on all major models of television. The VooMote One is a sleeve that fits over your mobile and allows you to choose your programme or flip between functions - and make calls too. <br />
<br />
You can control dozens of gadgets, ranging from your DVR to your computer or high-end digital camera. Some of the coolest apps in Apple's (AAPL) iPhone App Store are widgets that let you use your iPhone or iPod touch as a remote control. The best news: Many remote control apps are free, and most are a few bucks or less.<br />
<br />
There are also the volume controls, which one would normally associate with a TV remote. <br />
According to the manufacturer Zero1.tv, the device works with wireless technology and captures more than 30,000 infrared cords and thousands of electronic devices. <br />
In total, it is compatible with "574 TV brands, 995 Top Box/DVR brands, and 151 audio and CD brands" with a list of codes that is regularly being updated.<br />
There are many electronic appliances which can be controlled. <br />
Free apps from DirecTV and AT&T let you program your digital video recorder from anywhere. You can search and change the song playing on your computer's iTunes jukebox from bed, across the house, or even outside. Or change volume settings, or hit pause, etc. Apple's $0.99 Keynote remote lets you control Keynote presentations if you own the iWork suite. Other apps, like Evan Schoenberg's $0.99 Rowmote can steer PowerPoint slides. <br />

Requires the $4.99 X-Plane Remote app and the $39 desktop X-Plane software.<br />
Home automation apps like the $4.99 iHome remote for the Indigo server let you adjust your home lighting from anywhere. <br />
<br />
What more you need? Will you believe if some cool Apps can be used even to find if you are tanked??</div>Phayas AbdulRahmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07767468555092545452noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061948900442323660.post-52788220598667528492011-07-31T03:54:00.000-07:002011-07-31T03:54:55.230-07:00Tips And Tricks - English (Part-1)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“<b>If I were</b>” is more for situations when you are imagining things, usually followed by a sentence on what you would do in that situation whereas, “<b>If I was</b>” is more for things that could have happened in the past or now.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Here is another example of the differences between “If .. were” and “If .. was”.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Here are the tenses of the words:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Lie</span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></i></b><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">down<b> </b>– lie, lay, lain. <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">That’s why they are confusing! They sound similar and you can easily have them mixed up! Here are some examples of common mistakes when using those words.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Wrong:</span></i></b><i><span style="color: red; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I have <u>lied</u> on the grass all morning. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color: #009644; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Correct:</span></i></b><i><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> I have <u>lain</u> on the grass all morning.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<b><span style="color: #009644;">Correct:</span></b><span style="color: #009644;"> </span>I <u>lay</u> on the couch.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">So, here are three things to remember when you’re not sure how to use those words:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Remember that <b>lie</b> (as in <i>don’t lie</i>) and <b>lay</b> are <b>regular verbs</b>, which mean they add the usual suffix “-d” to form the past tense (lied, laid). Their past participles (have lied, have laid) are the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Remember that the word <b><i>lie</i></b> (as in <i>lie down</i>) is <b>the most complicated</b>; an <b>irregular verb</b>; doesn’t use “-d”; past tense is <i>lay</i>, and past participle is <i>lain</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Remember that the word <b><i>lay</i></b><i> </i>is the only <b>transitive verb </b>– You can’t “lay” on the bed; you must lay something. You can lay <u>yourself</u> on the bed, though.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><b><span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span></b><!--[endif]--><b><span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Take and bring<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Though these seems to be simple, probably one of the most confusing confusions in grammar!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Whether to use <b><i>bring</i></b><i> </i>or<i> <b>take</b></i> all depends on the perspective. You use <b><i>take</i></b> when the item is going away from the perspective and <b><i>bring</i></b><i> </i>when the item is coming to the perspective.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">For example, you and your friend are going to a place. You might ask your friend, “<b><i>Are you going to bring your cell phone?”<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">If you’re not going but your friend is, you might ask your friend, “<b><i>Are you going to take your cell phone?”<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">But still, it can be confusing. <b>So, use substitutes instead. <i>“Are you going to carry your cell phone with you?” <span style="color: #009644;"> </span></i><span style="color: #009644;">Problem solved</span></b></span><b><span style="color: #009644; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Cloud is the image for the Internet network diagram. Cloud computing is not a new technology but a new concept which merges a platform of applications. The concept runs on the Internet thereby providing applications to the users without the need of physical software or complex infrastructure. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cloud computing refers to abstracting away physical servers, storage, and networking and instead offering these as on-demand and elastic resources. An API is typically exposed to provide programmatic control over these resources. Traditionally, without a cloud, a web server runs as a single computer or a group of privately owned computers. The computer(s) are powerful enough to serve a given amount of requests per minute and can do so with a certain amount of latency per request. If the computer's website or web application suddenly becomes more popular, and the amount of requests are far more than the web server can handle, the response time of the requested pages will be increased due to overloading. On the other hand, in times of low load much of the capacity will go unused.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cloud computing can be classified to several viz. Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cloud computing services are emerging technologies that provide both businesses and individuals many benefits such as lowered costs and ease of accessibility. But have also come with issues such as legal and security risks. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The name Cloud computing was inspired by the Cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flow charts and diagrams. The underlying concept of Cloud computing dates back to 1960 when John McCarthy (an American computer scientist) opined that, "computation may someday be organized as a public utility.”</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>An Emerging Business model </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There is a high flexibility that comes with implementing infrastructure as a service. A company can increase or decrease how much space it rents on the Cloud as its utilization pattern varies. During peak periods, such as release dates, the companies can rent more bandwidth to accommodate the demand and then lower it during the low usage periods.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Recent studies conducted by IBM shows, only 3% of energy consumed by a data center is used for computation; therefore IBM has implemented energy efficient policies to successfully apply the economies of scale principle to increase server utilization and decrease energy costs by up to 40%. This is increasingly important as the energy costs continue to rise and hardware costs drop. Finally, moving the infrastructure to the Cloud allows companies to drastically downsize their IT departments and focus their resources on running their core business.</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Data) technology will enable users to access Face book without having a GPRS connection on their phones. This is used by telecom players to send alerts to their users that inform them about their balance at the end of a call or for sending missed call alerts. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">USSD is a session-based communication. It has significantly faster response times, and is more suited for content-based and interactive applications. It functions somewhat like a menu-based browser. The technology is unique to GSM, and is a built-in way to transmit data over signal channels. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><span style="color: windowtext;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The technology will not provide access to graphics but it will help users send and view updates on their friends' Face book walls. It is like SMS and hence, the load on the network is negligible. There are build-in commands through which a user can receive alerts on activity happening on his wall as well post an update. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><br />

How about using a universal charger which charges up all your devices wirelessly? If your answer is "Yes", then we have <b>Qi</b> (pronounced Chi) to your help.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: windowtext;">Qi which literally means "<i>Lifeforce</i>" or ‘<i>Energy Flow’ </i>in Chinese, is an open standard like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi which enables portable digital devices like mobiles, mp3 players, cameras etc.. to be charged wirelessly. The Qi standard is being developed and followed by "<b>World Power Consortium</b>", which has around 90 members including companies like <a href="http://www.nokia.com/">Nokia</a>, <a href="http://www.lg.com/ae/mobile-phones/all-mobile-phones/index.jsp?countryCd=ae">LG</a>, <a href="http://www.sony.com/">Sony</a> etc..<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><span style="color: windowtext;">This standard was released in July 2010. The Qi standard makes use of a technology called "<b>Inductive charging</b>". Though this technology has been effectively implemented in various devices, Qi was proposed to bring interoperability among otherwise incompatible devices. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: left;"><br />

Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?</div><br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
2- A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.<br />
<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />

3 - Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood.<br />

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />

Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.<br />

<br />
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />

Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in you seeds.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />

Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge. So it is incumbent on me to know my self, to know it completely, to know its minutiae, its characteristics, its subtleties, and its very atoms.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.<br />

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />

Love is trembling happiness.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Love... It surrounds every being and extends slowly to embrace all that shall be.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Many a doctrine is like a window pane. We see truth through it but it divides us from truth.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />

Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness. An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />

The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.<br />

<br />
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.<br />

Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer, and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
You have your ideology and I have mine.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Your friend is your needs answered.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.<br />
Kahlil Gibran<br />
<br />
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.<br />

<li>Notable work(s) : The Prophet</li>
</ul>Khalil Gibran was born on January 6, 1883, to the <a href="http://www.maronite-league.org.lb/">Maronite</a> family of Gibran in <a href="http://4umi.com/map?ll=34.246087,36.055900&z=15&t=k">Bisharri</a>, a mountainous area in Northern <a href="https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/le.html">Lebanon</a>. Lebanon at the time was a Turkish province, part of Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine) and subjugated to Ottoman dominion. His mother Kamila Rahmeh was thirty when she begot Gibran from her third husband Khalil Gibran, a tax collector who proved to be an irresponsible husband leading the family to poverty. Gibran had a half-brother six years older than him called Butros and two younger sisters, Mariana and Sultana, to whom he was deeply attached throughout his life, along with his mother. Kamila came from a family with a presti gious religious background, which imbued the uneducated mother with a strong will and later helped her raise up the family on her own. <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Growing up in the lush region of Bsharri, Khalil proved to be a solitary and pensive child who relished the natural surroundings of the cascading falls, the rugged cliffs and the neighboring green cedars, the beauty of which emerged as a dramatic and symbolic influence to his drawings and writings. Being laden with poverty, his education was limited to visits to a village priest who doctrined him with the essentials of religion and the Bible, alongside Syriac and Arabic languages. Recognizing Gibran's inquisitive and alert nature, the priest began teaching him the rudiments of alphabet and language, opening up to Gibran the world of history, science, and language. At the age of ten, Gibran fell off a cliff, wounding his left shoulder, which remained weak for the rest of his life ever since. To relocate the shoulder, his family strapped it to a cross and wrapped it up for forty days, a symbolic incident reminiscent of Christ's wanderings in the wilderness and which remained etched in Gibran's memory.</div><div></div><div style="text-align: left;">At the age of eight, Khalil Gibran, Gibran's father, was accused of tax evasion and was sent to prison as the Ottomon authorities confiscated the Gibrans' property and left them homeless. The family went to live with relatives for a while; however, the strong-willed mother decided that the family should immigrate to the United States, seeking a better life and following in suit to Gibran's uncle who immigrated earlier. The father was released in 1894, but—being an irresponsible head of the family—he was undecided about immigration and remained behind in Lebanon.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">On June 25, 1895, the Gibrans embarked on a voyage to New York. They settled in Boston's South End, which at the time hosted the second largest Syrian community in the U.S. following New York. The culturally diverse area felt familiar to Kamila, who was comforted by the familiar spoken Arabic, and the widespread Arab customs. Kamila, now the bread-earner of the family, began to work as a peddler on the impoverished streets of South End Boston. At the time, peddling was the major source of income for most Syrian immigrants, who were negatively portrayed due to their unconventional Arab ways and their supposed idleness.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="fr" style="text-align: left; width: 217px;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">At the school, a registration mistake changed his name to Khalil Gibran, which remained so for the rest of his life despite repeated attempts at restoring his full name. He entered school on September 30, 1895, merely two months after his arrival in the New World. Having had no formal education, he was placed in an ungraded class reserved for immigrant children, who had to learn English from scratch. Gibran caught the attention of his teachers with his sketches and drawings, a hobby he had started during his childhood in Lebanon. They contacted Fred Holland Day, an artist himself but also a supporter of artists, who opened up Gibran's cultural world and set him on the road to fame.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">In 1904 Gibran held his first art exhibition in Boston. From 1908 to 1910 he studied art in Paris with August Rodin. In 1912 he settled in New York, where he devoted himself to writing and painting. Gibran's early works were written in Arabic, but from 1918 he published mostly in English. In 1920 he founded Aribitah (the Pen Bond), a society for Arab writers. Among its members were Mikha'il Na'ima (1889-1988), Iliya Abu Madi (1889-1957), Nasib Arida (1887-1946), Nadra Haddad (1881-1950) and Ilyas Abu Sabaka (1903-47).</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Khalil Gibran died on April 10, 1931 in a New York hospital. He was forty-eight years old and had liver cancer caused by a long term battle with alcohol. According to his wishes his family buried him where he was born, in Bsharri, Lebanon. The people who attended his burial service said it wasn't a time of mourning, but of celebration.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Gibran's works were especially influential in the American popular culture in the 1960's. His best known work is <a href="http://4umi.com/gibran/prophet/">The Prophet</a>, a collection of 26 poetic essays, which has been translated into over a hundred languages.</div></div>Phayas AbdulRahmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07767468555092545452noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061948900442323660.post-46241771205953443532010-02-13T00:13:00.000-08:002010-02-13T01:11:39.596-08:00Albert Einstein - Quotes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzOvQHFHO4rcI3BnugbOcsPzfos4IsqPIWIwWeEh4Nt8mSXntXzUARDJS9VrvAcgYLX6fZzoUmI3E-h-WIu-98uBeoPRZYcdtvu-d3l1Toc57aQsrS5fcgKaLe6UZmhBcsiUmd2eFMdSu8/s1600-h/225px-Einstein1921_by_F_Schmutzer_4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Women need an average of 54 minutes more sleep than men each night, and those who get enough sleep will feel healthier and live longer than men. On average, men make at least 12 full body twists and turns once asleep. They move or twitch more than 70 times a night!<br />

Ramoji Film City, at an hour’s distance from Hyderabad, is spread over 1000 acres. It has everything that a producer wants, and more. The facilities are so fabulous, varied and modern that dozens of films can be made there at a time. “All you need when you enter the city is a STORY and MONEY. You can leave with your film”. No dream, just real! The largest number of India’s feature films are now made in Telugu, the language Andhra’s speak.<br />
