Children Of Freedom

Children of Freedom is my favorite novel by French author called Marc Levy. I enjoyed reading the novel and I really like it because it talks about real life of Jewish children between 15-20 years who were fighting and sacrificing to live in freedom in the time of Presidency of Hitler who was hated the Jewish people. As it remind me nowadays this is happen again with Palestinian children and teenagers.

The book falls into three chapters. In the first, the (Fictionalised) Raymond recounts how with his younger brother Claude, he joins the Resistance and spends nine months shooting German soldiers and Vichy officials, blowing up factories, and sabotaging German supplies – by, for example, slipping sand and molasses into fuel-tankers.

Though in outline this is familiar material, the author adds some fresh gloss. One surprise is how heavily the French Resistance relied on foreigners, seeking sanctuary from Franco's Spain, Mussolini's Italy or the advancing Nazi armies. Another is the youth of the fighters: Raymond was 18, Claude 17, the average age of their cell 20 or 21. All those adolescent hormones, and a more or less even mix of sexes, made the atmosphere feverish, fear of capture and hatred of the enemy mixing with barely suppressed lust.

The second part describes the six months Raymond spent in prison, on starvation rations and facing the prospect of the firing squad. The third takes him criss-crossing France in a train destined for Dachau, as the Allied armies fought through Normandy.

This journey includes moments of scarcely believable optimism: as when Raymond, peering out of the truck, exchanged glances with an RAF pilot flying at treetop level alongside the train.

Lavender

Lavender, one of my favorite flowers in my home garden. The lavenders (Lavandula) are a genus of 39 species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. An Old World genus, distributed from Macaronesia (Cape Verde and Canary Islands and Madeira) across Africa, the Mediterranean, South-West Asia, Arabia, Western Iran and South-East India. It is thought the genus originated in Asia but is most diversified in its western distribution.

The leaves are long and narrow in most species. In other species they are pinnately toothed, or pinnate, sometimes multiple pinnate and dissected. Flowers are borne in whorls, held on spikes rising above the foliage. Flowers may be blue, violet or lilac. The calyx is tubular, with five lobes. The corolla is often asymmetric.

Medicinal use, Lavender is used extensively with herbs and aromatheraph. A recent clinical study investigated anxiolytic effects and influence on sleep quality. Lavender oil with a high percentage of Linalool and linalyl acetate, in form of capsules, was generally well tolerated. It showed meaningful efficacy in alleviating anxiety and related sleep disturbances.

Other uses for Lavender flowers, it used to design and create special candles perfumes with different uses and also bath gel. The smell of the Lavender flowers gave me the power and active and also it give me a sense of calm and relaxation, I feel myself standing in the midst of the land planted with the Lavender flowers and smell of lavender always give me a exhilaration

Second Baby and Mother Advice

My cousin Abdulla or Aboudy as we like to call him, he was the second baby was born with the same date of my birthday date. The First baby was my other cousin who name is Narjes. I felt happy when the first and second babies arrived with the same date of my birthday.

What I like about the children, that I enjoy taking care of them, but not all of them especially the ones who are difficult to control or crying the whole times.

I like to feed them, play with them and make them sleep in my arms. I used to take care of my sisters when they were babies and I was helping my mother by giving them the milk, put them in a safe position when they are sleeping and she taught me how to avoid several mistakes of taking care of the babies.

She also taught me to be patient with the children when they are growing and never hit them in any reason because that action will cause for the children a psychological problems when they grow up.

Moc Job Interview

I had my Mock Job Interview with two tough female teachers who were Ms. Rose and Ms. Jaishree.

When I arrived to the hall I was so relaxing and feel comfortable because I was prepared well and practice for two days for this interview, until Ms. Jaishree called my name to enter the interview’s hall. They started directly ask me about Emirati Women who work in a private company and if she face any problem to work with private company.

Actually I did not expect from them to ask me this question, but I tried to answer them with very appropriate answer. I thought they asked me this question because I mentioned in my CV’s that I would like to work in a private company.

The rest of the questions were not hard to answer, except the last question I felt like I am stuck and need some help. They looked at my CV’s and they recognized that I did not mention about any participation activities and I think they recognized that I am not interesting to participate in any activities in the college.

Therefore, I tried to change their point of view and I answered that I am interesting in two activities in the college which are Sport Day and The Annual Bazaar, they asked me what I do during the other activities and events, I said that I am working on a project or other subject’s works and the reason why because I do not like to waste my time on something that I know I will not get benefit from it.

It was a very good practice for me and I learned from my mistakes to not repeat it again in the future.

Summer Holiday 2010

I went with my family last summer holiday to Australia. We went to Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Cost and Tasmania Island. The weather in Tasmania Island between 2 to -5 and in Melbourne it were between 4 and 7, Sydney around 8 and 10 and Gold Coast little warmer and the weather almost between 12 and 15.

I traveled to Australia every year with my family, because in our summer season the only two countries which they have the winter season are New Zealand and Australia.

Every day and nights in Sydney we go to the Sydney Opera House Building to enjoy the view of the sea and the atmospheres of activities which happen every weekend. Some time we go there by train and sometimes by the ship to the Sydney Opera House.

Inside The Opera House

In Melbourne we went to a few places like shopping malls, parks and museum.

In Gold Coast we went to several places like shopping malls, Movie World, Sea World and Dream World. We have fun in those three places and enjoyable time.

Movie World

Sea World

Dream World

I had watch this video last month, it shows how some babies like to sleep with their parents whether their father or mother. I enjoy the video because every time the father try to get up and leave his baby, she wake up and start crying and each time he try to move she move with him. It’s nice to be close to your babies especially on these ages and teaching them to sleep in their Cribs.

I'll leave you with the video

Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains is a mountainous region in New South Wales, Australia. It borders on Sydney's metropolitan area, its foothills starting approximately 50 kilometers west of the state capital. The area begins on the west side of the Nepean River and extends westward as far as Coxs River.

Blue Mountains is one of the greatest tourist attraction which attracts so many visitors from around the world to visit and feel the majestic beauty of this natural mountainous region. The people who live in Australia are well familiar with the beauty of this place.

The climate varies with altitude. At Katoomba (1,010 m) summer daytime temperatures are usually in the 20s with a few days extending into the 30s (Celsius). Night-time temperatures are usually in the teens. During the winter the temperature is typically around 12 to 13°C in the daytime with −3°C or so on clear nights and 2 to 3°C on cloudy nights.

Last year it was my fifth time I went to the Blue Mountains in Sydney its really enjoyable journey and interesting with gorgeous natural views.

Why The Area Is Blue?

The area is called Blue Mountains due the bluish appearance of the whole region. Now this bluish appearance has a direct link to the Eucalyptus trees covering the whole area.

These trees are actually called Eucalyptus Globulus and are covered with a waxy substance called 'blue gum'. When atmospheric pressure rises in the Blue Mountains, this waxy substance evaporates and disperses in the air. The sunlight after passing through the vapour reflects back blue light from its spectrum of seven colours. Therefore the whole area appears bluish.

Google Tools

This post about Google Tools Project, which it was the first project of MIS subject. It was interesting journey during each session of Google Tools which were each student of my class giving a training session about each Tool of Google Tools. Google Tools helps students and anyone in this life creating unique pages, sites, blogs and more and more of Google Tools which make the life easier, quicker and helpful and saving time.

I had to train my class about Google Earth, which was familiar to me because I use it before to enjoy the way how the Google Earth works and how I can discover new places and countries by only one click.
Some of the Google Tools was familiar to me such as Google Earth, Google Map, Google Searching, but not all of them which were new to me like iGoogle, Google Site, Google Docs and other Tools. In each session I attended with my classmates I discover new materials about Google Tools and how it will make my life easy by managing my stuffs and help me in so many duties.

Honestly I enjoyed every training sessions of Google Tools and I’m sure if there will be any new sessions about Google Tools I will attend for sure to enjoy the sessions and to discover and to learn new stuffs which it help me in my studying life and career life in the future.

After ending of all the Google Tools sessions I was able to create my own site and blog by myself and I was happy to do this step. At the beginning, I thought I will take time to do it, but after the session of Google Site, I was very well to create the Site and to design it as I like and same to the Blogs.
