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.

Reporting for the Web...

Writing for a web is a good, simple and easy way when you know what readers are looking for. One of the ways that you should do to make it easy for a reader is simply to write a headline because by this, the reader will know what is going on but in a brief way. Reporting on the web is more about keeping up and update with the broadcast and less on the print model.






Web journalism has different ways than other webs that need new concepts, terminologies or new software that the writer should master. It has a different ways to write information for people to read. Journalists just need to have good writing skills and think in a new way to convince the reader by their opinion.







The WEB REPORTER must have 4 points in mind:
1. Being timely and relevant
2. Write lively and tightly
3. Use time stamps
4. Use headlines to sell the story

Being timely and relevant: Time is very important for the journalists as much as for the reader because the reader likes to be updated with the latest news. So time is important for reporting on the web. The reader must find the stories they are looking for on time.

Lively and tightly: The writer must be direct to the point for the reader to know what the subject talks about.
- write actively and not passively
- stick to one idea per sentence
- writing should be easy to understand
- use strong verbs and sharp nouns
- the writer should have his/her own way in writing
- speed and style is important




Use time stamps: The writer must put the date of the subject he wrote about. So in an article, the writer must use time stamps for keeping the story updated, so that if he stopped writing and continued in another date, then he must mention both dates.

Use headline to sell the story: Headlines are very important in attracting the reader to read more about the news. The headline must not summarize the story but it must let the reader know what the subject is about in a few words for the reader to catch attention, and this would let him know if they are interested in knowing more about the news. A headline should affect a reader and makes him/her want to read more about the story.





Writers must pay attention that being in a hurry must not make them forget to add photos. Locater map, audio, video and many others because it is important for the reader to have the news with all its details.

My personal experience as a Web 2.0 user

To my personal experience as a Web 2.0 user, i think it's more easier for me to share my opinions with others using the internet. Moreover, i believe that Web 2.0 is an easy and a good way of communication with others like people all over the world and reporters.. We can upload any image we want and also we can upload any video we want that we see it suitable for the subject we wanna talk about. In additon to that, Web 2.0 allows us to share our ideas with others and lets us communicate and send emails like using hotmail, yahoo, igoogle... And it allows me to see people's opinion about certain topics that i am interested in. For example i use youtube to see the latest news about topics i like and i can comment on them also i can upload any video i want for people to watch. It made my life easier because i can b updated with the latest news i want from any place...

My heart swells with pride tonight,
to know that you love me, makes my world complete.
My heart smiles with rich delight,
my soul sings a song so sweet,
because of you my love, my heart skips a beat.


Thunder in the distance
shadowed by a sigh.
Vibration from a thousand jets
.......flutter of butterflies.

Roaring of the ocean calms
to a trickling stream.

....Active volcano
............just
.... radiator steam.

Lost in another's eyes?
Take a swim through their veins?
Electric sparks as lips meet
Savor a honey kiss

....What is so powerful
.................or
....mighty in such force?

Love that's pure and crystal clear.
........All for you of course.
