LOVE...

What makes us complete and whole from the inside out?



Love remains the essence of Choice, and the effect of emotions! It is the inside where the hurt and pain starts, right? It starts at the core of your being, which is the soul or in plain terms, your will, mind and emotions. Now for most of us who fall in love or have been in love, or whatever you would like to call it, you made the choice to be with someone, and that someone was special and unique in his way towards you, and fulfilled your needs. But would rather choose a sinful love or a pure one? Which one is what we need?? Or is it both? We are infected with sinful love, therefore needing Grace! It is Love we search, but this love is to be shared with another human being, how about the love we share with God? Why is it so easy to surrender to sinful love while it's so hard to give in to pure literally unconditional love?

ART






What is ART?






A question frequently asked, and the answers are usually depending on each person’s view and perspective... And that differs in each one of us.
My vision on art starts with the world I see and with what I am. For me, I am art, God's creation, nature around me is art, and the way the sky colors itself differently each season is art, so art is in me and all around me... That’s how it started.
And us humans were inspired by God's art and vision and started creating our own.
Art is the way we express our selves, it could be through writing, drawing, painting, performing, technology etc... It’s about letting out what you have experienced or acknowledged through time even verbally and through behavior and applications...
During the Renaissance, emotions in a painting were expressed through representation of a feeling by the figure or subject matter portrayed. At first the paintings expressions were modest and by time became more expressive as the Baroque style emerged, facial and body expressions and movements were more obvious and expressed a great deal of inner emotions and the state of mind.
By time paintings evolved, a result of us evolving and our expressions growing into what we call art. When i thought deeply about it, I figured out that all our lives depend on art itself in its good and bad turns, and art depends on us in expressing it and as a result, you can only compare art to itself.






As of comparison in art, I will compare two ancient sculptures, The first is Nude Woman, or Venus of Willendorf, from the prehistoric period. The second image is Khafre, a life-size Egyptian sculpture made of diorite stone from much later, circa 2,500 b.c.e. Both sculptures contain magical or supernatural symbolism, as well as concepts of life and death.

They are both stone and both human figures, but differ greatly in style. The Venus exhibits a combination of many stylistic elements. It is naturalistic and organic in areas of the body; exhibits full breasts, a round stomach, the pubic triangle, and chubby legs. She is a series of natural spheres. They are both great means of expression and fine art.

It takes great skills to perform art in any way, but it takes greater skills to keep art heading in the right direction.
Personally, art is my ultimate passion and i express it first by bringing out the humane part in me and show it without showing off with it. I practice art through my verbal expression and behavior and through every skill that i have by nature, I learned that art could be accomplished by every person, not only the educated people. Most famous artists in the world are uneducated with books but they learned a big lesson called life and expressed what they lived through the skill possible, making other people learn different feelings and get introduced to different views on life.





But some people took art to a wrong direction, some people learned to become artists in war, lie, and deceit. They used a gift and made of it a bomb of only destruction, knowing not that they are destroying themselves. And some other people used art to imitate not create; therefore forming a different use and meaning to art, a phony one. Only one way can improve and bring life back to art, which is by bringing life to our inner selves, and evolving, making it simple cause that’s where art shows and start from there.
Art is a gift that we are supposed to take care of, nourish, and make it grow with us, but we should keep in mind, is that we die, but art never does, its moved from generation to another, so our kids and grandchildren will see what we used to see, so let’s try and make the best of it, that's the best of us!

DREAMS...

I guess that some dreams are meant to be in a box and stay in the box and only reveal themselves once in a while to their creator to keep that flame of interest,curiosity, and desire remain..and we choose that these dreams stay un accomplished because maybe if they come true ..they might lose their value and we might lose interest in them..But some other dreams ...are a bit more daring and intriguing.. that they put us on the line, chasing them around in that box, putting the pieces of the puzzle together, until they become virtuous and ripe enough to be revealed, and that would really take us a bit of courage, patience and drive to reach what we aim for, and then we shall realize that only when those dreams get out of that box is when they become alive, and make us live through them.

COMMON MISTAKES ABOUT YERBA MATTE

People often call yerba mate an organic herbal tea, but herbal refers only to plants that are not caffeinated. Mate is not a green tea either, as green tea is the camelia sinensis plant which comes from Asia, and mate is Ilex Paraguariensis from South America. They do share some similar qualities in the way the are produced and the way the enhance health in the body. The term "mateine" has been used to refer to the stimulant in yerba mate. Some researchers feel that the stimulating compound in yerba mate does differ from caffeine. We have elected to use the phrase "Naturally Caffeinated" to share the most accurate scientific information currently available.

Over the course of the 1950s, computer and telecommunications technologies were integrated, and computer-communications networks were created that linked computers among each other and to terminals. These networks found wide application as a number of technological advances increased the capacity, accessibility and compatibility of both computing and telecommunication facilities. For example, research in the field of telecommunications yielded innovations such as satellites, modems, optical fibers and packet switching. New computer technology permitted the integration of electronic circuits on very small surfaces of silicon (the “chip”), and then created the capacity to place the complete central processing unit of a computer on one chip (the microprocessor).Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) encompass all those technologies that enable the handling of information and facilitate different forms of communication among human actors, between human beings and electronic systems, and among electronic systems.Media coverage is the very lifeblood of politics because it shapes the perceptions that form the reality on which political action is based. Media do more than depict the political environment; they are the political environment." -Doris Graber. Media are the prime source of information we have about political candidates. How media portray candidates and political issues can elect or defeat leaders.Youth is a period in life in which a person is always ready to catch info because he is still lenient, therefore any kind of communication can affect young people so imagine if this communication is visual written and active like new information and communication technologies- media Web 2.0, the Internet etc.....). They will definitely change some personal views and they are able to convince youth about many ideas especially when it comes to politics. Politics is the most important topic for the Lebanese youth so they are always ready to know more and to discuss more politics and politicians’ points of view.So images, web sites, slogans, logos, advertising campaigns, they are all considered as main source of guidance and direction for youth. Using colors, different fonts, attractive words, fresh info are main factors during the election campaigns. These facilities can b easily created but need a combination of intelligence and simplicity. Because the Lebanese youth search always for more fun, more entertainment and better life conditions, they look always for the future and they always try to improve their moral and financial situations. Most of them find the election is the solution. Thus, they put their trust in some politicians who most of the time don’t deserve this trust. What make this trust easily given are the media and the provocative campaigns that are able to persuade a person about some suggestions even if these suggestions are contradictive with their personal believes. Media can change some believes to others that are totally different.Political advertising may sway voters in favor of one candidate or another. Candidates of all stripes spend increasingly significant portions of their campaign budgets on advertising, ranging from bumper stickers and billboards to print, television ads, websites… Political advertising allows candidates and their supporters to provide information, make arguments and raise issues relevant to their candidate and the election. Political advertising may not influence people with strong opinions for or against a candidate, but it can be a deciding factor among undecided voters.Elections advertising campaigns:No guilt trips in advertising campaigns: be honest and straightforward; passionate not passiveAdvertising blitz during last two days of electionEncourage youth to contact Elections Canada for more information: Web site or enquiries lineUse youth-oriented newspapers and magazines to publish informationFund youth organizations to organize get-out-the-vote campaigns for young peopleWork with several advertising agencies to create a variety of concepts: encourage creativity and diversityInvite well-known personalities and role models to promote the voteTo improve the elections and make them interested to youth is to have websites for candidates, create more links between Elections Web site and other relevant youth sites, Text messages from Election to promote voting and registration and create chat rooms to discuss election issues.
