My aim is to inspire others and make them think about life.
You'll find me writing about: psychology, philosophy, energy (Reiki), nature, architecture, design, marketing, advertising, photography, cooking, and baking; in addition to my commentary about life in general.
Trying to spread Love & Peace. A modern hippie in a beautiful world.

Do we find some songs more gratifying than others in different times in our lives? Why do some songs make us feel good inside and others are just... just alright.</p><p>Is it the wave frequency or is it that we relate to the lyrics? I, personally, know that I am not drawn to the words, sure it's great when the songs connect to your feelings and thoughts, but that is not my top requirement when choosing which songs I like or I should say which songs pull me in. I don't feel I choose them. They automatically get replayed and eventually given the title (at least in my head if I don't share them with anyone) that this song is goood. </p><p>My taste of music is different than what most people around me like. It is a personal thing. Most of the time I listen to music either on my earphones or in my car, sometimes there are others around me where in that case I listen to different genres usually something more upbeat. Most days I am listening to chill house, but what I really like is something that gets my energy hyped with its beats. Thanks to Spotify my top genres seem to be (see image). Thanks AI technology. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEEpHQe173vP3EttayqnF5KCDoKHJJJ4WdojpaJ-qXRD5Hub2jVbBIMED5DW0-TlnfYII6J-auv9JtOAZ-aG70_u2gTNqPXDA7we0OODs89Unhq8iNgllOuouFMVyN3DTHh4PqJbYSGrBJisBM4JwibYCigCtCVorCRV2D-OinATYg_qsPjGFP0wx/s1600/spotify%20genre%202022.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="738" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEEpHQe173vP3EttayqnF5KCDoKHJJJ4WdojpaJ-qXRD5Hub2jVbBIMED5DW0-TlnfYII6J-auv9JtOAZ-aG70_u2gTNqPXDA7we0OODs89Unhq8iNgllOuouFMVyN3DTHh4PqJbYSGrBJisBM4JwibYCigCtCVorCRV2D-OinATYg_qsPjGFP0wx/w294-h640/spotify%20genre%202022.jpeg" width="294" /></a></div><div><p></p><p></p>And trust me, till now I have no idea what these genres actually mean, but I do seem to like this stuff! I should also point out that they are all different. The fact that the music industry has become easier to become a part of, has diversified the range of music out there. We could be following someone that only has a few hundred followers yet be in love with their music. I really appreciate this. <div><br /></div><div>Honestly, if you think about it, it's truly amazing. We went from downloading one song at a time from sites like Napster, Kazaa, Beemp3, Limewire, and so many others. Not only was it illegal most of the time, it took so much time! Sometimes, my full afternoon, just to download a few songs and write them on a CD or listen to them on my mp3 player or on Winamp while watching the amazing graphic visuals. And oh, the research I used to do, listening to samples, watching music videos and checking if I like each song before downloading one. To download or not to download? Now we have Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and so many others. Spotify does everything for you. Listen to a few songs and the next week using a special algorithm, it generates a new list that you might like. Like someone not known, check the similar artists. It's that easy.</div><div><p></p><p>Now, going back to why do we love certain types of music... Well let's start with the basics. Listening to music releases dopamine, the feel good hormone. The hormone that is related to actual rewards. But what neuroscientists have discovered is that while listening to a song you like, dopamine is released into different parts of the brain and get this, when you know that your favorite part of the song is coming, there is anticipation and tension that rises which brings along with it, pure excitement, and once you "get there" once the main part that you like in a song is played, even more dopamine is released into your brain, in a different area. The anticipation is one of the highs you get when you listen to a good song. </p><p>Meaning, it is not consistent, there is an up and down, a pull and release, it takes us here and there. We enjoy every part of the song, along the way we feel a sort of tension or an eagerness for what is to come and then it is released. Usually when dopamine is released we know there is a reward, could be the thought of eating a donut or a juicy burger. In the case of listening to music, the reward is the upcoming melody, the rush of feel good vibes, that itself is the reward you get after you feel the tension building. Sometimes this feeling of tension is referred to as the drop in music. The drop is when the music gets a bit quieter, slower, or is different somehow and then it suddenly rises and hypes you up. That is when another serge of dopamine is released into the brain. </p><p>So all this dopamine is making you feel good and the more you like the song, the more anticipation there is, and thus the more dopamine you will be releasing. </p><p>However, dopamine is not the only thing that is happening within your brain. When our brains hear music, it is processing sound vibrations, or more specifically, frequencies--low, med, and high frequencies. These frequencies stimulate tiny hair cells within your ear, which then pass through the membrane via electrical signals to reach the auditory cortex in your brain. What is interesting here is that if someone is to scan the brain while listening to different sound frequencies they would know what type of frequency was being heard depending on which part of the brain lights up. Therefore, this is not a unique experience from one person to another. </p><p>What is unique, is how the brain, which is being triggered here and there, engages with all that is happening. How is your brain analyzing all that is coming in? How is it making sense of everything? What the brain then starts doing is relating to the music with memories, people, moods, places, and so on, stimulating even more areas of the brain. Some say the brain is exercising when you listen to music, because music triggers so many different parts of the brain, and therefore music keeps your brain young. </p><p>Music is structural, mathematical, and architectural. We might not be aware of it, but our brains do lots of computing to make sense of the music we hear. This combination of music and memory, even if it is a new song, elicits a feeling, usually a good one. That is why, music is often seen as a remedy to feeling blue, improving mental health, reducing anxiety, staying focused, sleeping better, coping with trauma, along with so many other benefits. Music releases many types of neurotransmitters and hormones, not just dopamine. There is oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins, and sometimes adrenaline, GABA, noradrenaline, glutamate and acetylcholine. If a song is liked, all these should trigger a positive reaction on someone's mood, otherwise they would change the song (if it triggered negative reactions).</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhoM42-OUGp711_wJ-whaciLP0xu3RcZ8gGrqouzA2xUducqGhs7dBuSHaVTTSyxfPARzgVsQnuKcgOmiIaQWKTQaaY85vhIr88MWt-Uei8hmyxClrqTz36CGAzLJRmSMD8DMiY7eu287NgFbrOwzZH0U9-bEHysWaKBsVD5DPqisn3Q8p5ZiwQFVV0XCc" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="784" data-original-width="1024" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhoM42-OUGp711_wJ-whaciLP0xu3RcZ8gGrqouzA2xUducqGhs7dBuSHaVTTSyxfPARzgVsQnuKcgOmiIaQWKTQaaY85vhIr88MWt-Uei8hmyxClrqTz36CGAzLJRmSMD8DMiY7eu287NgFbrOwzZH0U9-bEHysWaKBsVD5DPqisn3Q8p5ZiwQFVV0XCc=w619-h476" width="619" /></a></div><br />In an Oxford University
Press book titled <i>Music, Health, and Wellbeing</i>, it explains music is
"a powerful way of engaging multisensory and motor networks and inducing
changes and linking brain regions within this network. These multimodal effects
of music-making together with music’s ability to tap into emotion and the reward
system in the brain can be used to facilitate therapy and rehabilitation of
various brain disorders". Additionally, music is an inherently social
entity; it establishes connections over shared taste, acts as a backbone of
many gatherings and rituals, and can be created and distributed via technology."<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Music oftentimes takes people a
step further, shaping their personality, influencing their fashion sense, what they read,
and even the type of people they mingle with. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Now what you like, of course is
subjective. It could be house music, classical music or heavy metal. Music however is for sure a mood changer. Depending on the genre it can put someone in a certain mood but preference is key. For example, when you need to read, write or concentrate, instrumental music or relaxing genres are preferred while upbeat music gives you energy. Hence going back to me having a liking to different genres (which I think is normal). </p><p style="text-align: left;">Science has not yet proven <u>exactly</u> why we like certain songs more than others but it certainly has to do with this overwhelming flush of neurotransmitters within the brain and how we unconsciously take it in. Your favorite songs have the power to dilate your eyes, quicken your pulse and blood pressure, give you goosebumps, and even effect your movement and make you active (blood is even redirected to the muscles in your legs). </p><p style="text-align: left;">Some say your music taste is defined while you were in your mother's womb, some in your teenage years, some say by their culture and social identity. Either way it is related to your unique experience, your personality and how your brain interprets the music. People simply like different things, but no matter how your brain functions, it
will be releasing dopamine in different parts of your brain if you are listening to something you like. </p><p style="text-align: left;">So enjoy listening to your music and don't forget to make it a part of your happy life. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sources and additional reading:<br /></span></b><span style="font-size: x-small;">https://www.britannica.com/video/187019/science-appeal-music<br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">https://www.google.com/books/edition/Music_Health_and_Wellbeing/RSwGeGeK_HwC?hl=en&gbpv=0 <br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">https://fssfalcon.org/5744/news/music-and-the-brain-the-science-behind-your-favorite-songs/ <br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">https://www.wired.com/2011/01/the-neuroscience-of-music/<br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">https://www.uagc.edu/blog/how-does-music-affect-your-brain#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20first%20things,with%20an%20early%20dopamine%20rush. <br />https://neurosciencenews.com/music-preference-prediction-21946/ </span></h3></div></div>Ayooshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07683077699788235136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920976094369862508.post-77426675780868270112017-12-07T20:41:00.000+02:002017-12-07T20:43:18.439+02:00Chills, Peace & Simplicity<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Something about the air was chilly today...I don't mean temperature wise but rather a feeling of hollowness that gives you the chills. Waves of sadness kept barging in me and those around me uncontrollably. We kept trying to hide it with bursts of happiness, positivity and without having a care but nonetheless the feeling kept coming back. This winter weather does something to you. Perhaps it is the rain from yesterday, something is in the air. Perhaps, it is the political state of what is currently happening in this world (Jerusalem being declared capital of Israel), something is in the air.<br />
<br />
I think it is the sadness that we as humanity have come to be in Our World. If you pause and really think about it, you will feel it.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, I think it is a good thing to feel this way. We are connecting. We are reaching into our deeper selves and feeling our human nature. Basic instincts that were once all we had. Back to a time where there were limited factors, societies, opinions, agendas to care about. Back to a time where there was no media to tell you what to feel, how to feel, how to act, but to a time where you heard only from your family, friend or neighbor. You heard and cared about what concerned you.<br />
<br />
Oh, how life was simple. We need to bring back that simplicity... oh how much happier we all would be.<br />
<br />
Again, from the modern hippie in me, sending positive energy and healing into this world....change the way you think, find the peace within you, just be, and keep to what only concerns you. Life should be simple. Let us not escalate that which has already escalated.<br />
<br />
- Peace & Love<br />

How can the world progress when we constantly are living in a world where you have to watch your back, a world that hurts others, where individuals have forgotten the true reward of doing good. Good can be as simple as providing a helping hand, giving support, showing someone you care, working a bit harder with no reward, no motive but simply doing what you believe is morally right. It is about sending positive energy out into this world, even when a lot of what you are receiving is negative.<br />
<br />
There are places in this world that just plainly have more negative energy than other places. Such places emit a cluster of negative power that is provoked by envy, competition, titles, attention, insecurities, lack of confidence and a deprivation for a drive to do good. This could be brought on by the increasing problems people are facing but how each individual deals with each situation makes all the difference. How can this world progress if there is so much hate, ignorance, and negativity? We all have a spark of white inside us that needs to outgrow the darkness; but simply some choose to nourish the latter, whether alone or with others. People need to put more effort into trying to overcome the darkness. No matter how negative a place might be, I still believe, at the end of the day, good will overcome evil. At the end of the day, you choose who you want to be with, who you want to be, how you want to act, how you want to behave within the atmosphere you are in and the situations around you. Appreciate this temporary life, cherish those who do good, be one of them and truly believe you are being one of them (if your gut is telling you otherwise, you're not doing the right thing), ride that train and relax your conscious. In the end, we are judged individually and this, I believe, is what truly matters, and what we all need to remember.<br />

When you meet someone or interact with someone you unconsciously start realizing things about them that are perhaps missing from yourself. It could be something you want, something you are glad you don't have--but in any case your mind starts comparing whether you are aware of it or not.<br />
<br />
Now you can meet someone that is doing better than you and start thinking what am I doing wrong, why is that not me? Perhaps you automatically start belittling yourself. Now how you move forward with such thoughts is completely up to you but do realize one thing--you can use such thoughts as motivation to become better or you can get sad, feel sorry for yourself and therefore demotivate yourself from doing anything well!<br />
<br />
How should you look at "better-than-you" people? Well, I suggest you tell yourself to realize what exactly is good about that person's quality and then ask yourself "if I had this quality would it benefit me?" If your answer is yes, then ask yourself "what do you need to do to have that quality" and work from there. Never have anyone demotivate you. Never get jealous of anyone else (you never know, they could be looking at you thinking you have what they want) for envy can destroy you.<br />
<br />
And remember putting your mind on something will get you there if you try hard enough.<br />

I'm not sure if it's me getting older or if life is just changing quickly (maybe it's both) but taking a trip down to memory lane to remember some toys, shows, food, and anything we interacted with in the nineties feels good.<br />
<br />
So for that reason I'm going to write a series of posts covering a few things. This one will be about things we played with and used.<br />
<br />
Take a look and I'm sure you will be sharing my feelings of saying "aaaw" and "I remember that" to a few items and then perhaps start thinking of how things have changed so much and whether or not it's a good or bad thing.<br />
<br />
Just think, how was your life before your first smart phone? That alone, I think, was a big step in how our lives changed. So here you go, I'll start out with a mobile phone.<br />
<br />

Knowing that the brain is a muscle and that it develops and changes according to what we feed it and surround ourselves with, does it make us look at things differently and have us make decisions differently? From one individual to another, our train of thought is perhaps educated more or less in the same way during our school years but the process is different. We have all learned that 2+2=4 but the process we take to get the answer is different--each school, school system, parent, etc. approaches this equation differently. For example, there are schools who teach you to memorize the equation (memorizing the times table), while some schools teach visual methods such as hand counting gestures or moving beads using an abacus. Although we might think we are educated in the same manner, deep down our brains are operating differently. We are all wired differently. <br />
<br />
Considering what science has shown us about our complex brains, different areas of the brain are responsible for different things; but how the process happens is not as simple as a light switch in the right or left hemisphere but rather which light switches lit up, in what order, how they lit up, and every little detail of the process which i doubt science can figure that out). Again it is the process.<br />

So think about it, depending on our profession we allow specific parts of our brain to work more than others and make connections with other parts differently than a person who is of a different profession. So I go back to what this post is all about and say, would one engineer get along better with another engineer than a marketeer would? Are most of your friends in the same field of work? Do similar-profession-people get along better because they process ideas in almost the same way? perhaps different-minded people work best and get along best with each other.<br /><br />
Just something to think about.</div>

<br />
Is it that deep inside all human individuals do is think about themselves or is it possible for an individual to completely remove the sense of oneself and devote oneself's actions to the good of someone else.<br />
<br />
Now, yes there are different levels at which people care for others but nevertheless everyday one comes across others that react, on that certain day, as they feel they should according to their own individual good and leave no care for the persons around them.<br />
<br />
It is that selfishness, we as humans all possess, but it does not come alone. Once someone commits a selfish act, there is an after effect... the feeling of guilt. Some ignore this feeling of guilt, others do not feel it at all and some it continues to haunt them, which in some cases leads them to feel guilty that they feel guilty.<br />
<br />
Guilt is not the only thing happening in the background behind selfishness, but it is also said that selfishness could be a cause of a weakness.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless I believe humans in the past were less selfish and there were more good people in the world than now. As the world develops, so do humans... to be more competitive, less cooperative and more judgmental due to the emergence of new things and the many new necessities a human needs in one's life.<br />
<br />
Life no longer is simple, it is complex... and so are our thoughts.</div>

I did a little search and found myself a couple of masjids around the world that have fascinating architecture. So here are a couple for you...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Great Mosque of Cordoba - Spain</b></div>
<div>
I was first introduced to this mosque in an Islamic architecture course during college and from that day it got stuck in my head as a historic place with amazing architecture, even though I learned about a looot of famous mosques during the course it still stood out. That's why I am placing it first cause I just love it and have always wanted to visit it, so if I ever go to Spain I'm going to make sure to stop by this historic work of art. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> To the people of al-Andalus “the beauty of the mosque was so dazzling that it defied any description."</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This mosque though is no longer a mosque but instead a church (since 1236) but because it is so beautiful there are lots of Islamic aspects to it that were not touched nor removed during its transformation. Some amazing architectural aspects to it include its columns which total 856, double arch columns that allowed the ceiling to be heightened, the continuous interior feel, and its three domes (I remember there being three, although the net only talks about 2). </div>

<br />
This is post #2 which is a continuation of my previous post:<br />
"Top Hotel Design in the Middle East: Bahrain and Egypt" <a href="http://cloudfever.blogspot.com/2012/06/top-hotel-design-in-middle-east-bahrain.html" target="_blank"> Click here to read it</a><br />
and which will continue with more posts in the future.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Today's countries of focus are <b>Jordan, Kuwait and Lebanon</b>.</span><br />
<br />
Do remember that this list is based on my opinion by looking at hotels online and reading about them. I looked for excellence on the feel of the place --where I think the architect and interior designer did a magnificent job together.<br />
<br />
<u><i>Evason Ma'in Hot Springs & Six Senses Spa - Ma'in, Jordan</i></u><br />
It's nice to see a very nice hotel at a very nice place. For those who do not know, Ma'in is a hot spring and waterfall that many people go to for thermal treatments and a relaxing hot soak. That's why this hotel and its unique design catched my eye. It has been built to make use of its surrounding, keeping the mood alive. Water and natural rock are important elements here of design and they look amazing.<br />

<u style="background-color: white;"><i>Hotel Missoni - Kuwait</i></u><br />
Another hotel which coincidentally has a Six Senses Spa also...seems like I like this spa's style--I think they are all modern and sophisticated. This hotel attracted me with its bright and bold style.<br />

<u><i>Le Gray Hotel - Beirut, Lebanon</i></u><br />
In my search I was hoping I would find a hotel that had an authentic feel or natural essence to it--I couldn't find one that caught my attention but I am sure there is one there. I did though stumble upon this modern sleek-feel hotel with an amazing view.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Is it just me or do you get a bit of an emotional reaction when certain package designs of things change? And no I don't mean any sort of crying....! But I'm the type of person that keeps old things because "you never know when you will need them," although I know deep inside I'm just lying to myself and they'll just sit there unused. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But what about package designs? Do you get that sort of emotional connection because you are used to the design, the material and the manner in which you use the product? You either like the design and don't want it to change or you hate it and keep thinking when will this design be changed (but you learn to live with it in the meantime) but in either one of these feelings you are constantly reminded of the feeling when you pick up the product. But because we humans are created in such a way, we do <span style="background-color: white;">eventually reach a comfort zone in the product use, so once it goes away something in our brain grieves slightly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let me share two package design changes with you:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Galaxy chocolate bar, for me, was a fail. They changed it from something nice to something not. It looked better in the past and I think for that reason I stopped buying it as much and now don't find the chocolate to be that good, although I used to eat it a lot in my past.</span></div>

So we watch cartoons all the time but have you ever thought about how they would look like if they were real?<br />
<br />
Take a look here where several graphic artists contributed to a photo-manipulation contest site Worth1000 to show their work on the transformation of cartoon and comic characters into real life.<br />

I've always hated stereotypes or how in this case one color becomes the world to a girl or boy. We smile automatically when a young girl tells you her favorite color is pink or a young boy tells you his favorite color is blue and we react with " aaaw that's so cute, you even have a blue toothpaste habibi. Your favorite color is blue ya? You're so cute" ...and the young boy reacts with a proud smile.<br />
<br />
Alright that's nice (and cute, I love kids) but why are we pushing a specific color into their thinking, or more over why is society doing this? For marketing reasons?<br />
<br />
I think nowadays its harder for a kid to discover what his favorite color is, because they probably link it to something they own or to what other kids their age like--they probably don't want to be different unless their parents taught them that its good to be unique and different. Which brings us to early peer pressure, if you think about it, even for children and toddlers. Oh poor kids!<br />
<br />
Anyway, what we don't realize about this color issue is that we are psychologically placing a block within the child's mind by unintentionally (or intentionally) sending them the message that the opposite gender's color is not for them and that the other colors are not that much important.<br />
<br />
Take a look....the below images are taken by a South Korean photographer, JeongMee Yoon, who was surprised at how deep gender and color associations were implanted within the minds of kids.<br />

<i>"We will now discuss in a little more detail the Struggle for Existence." - Charles Darwin on the Origins of Species by Means of Natural Selection.</i><br />
<br />
While strolling a public place and walking at a regular pace--not too fast and not too slow--and having just enough space for yourself and your friend on your right side, someone walks closer and closer to you and is heading your direction and you're thinking oh no worries, he'll move to the left since he has the space...but ohh so surprisingly that doesn't happen!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the past I used to just move out of the way and simply get pissed off inside my head, but in such a country it kept happening way too often and everywhere and by all sorts of ages and people (exception to the old and the very young of course.) It was time for a change. So I began to continue my straight line walking and at the last minute, before a collision happens, THEY would move. Vio<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">là</span>, so easy and it even felt good! If they didn't move and we ended up bumping each other, I would hope it hurt them (more than it hurt me) and that they would learn to get out of the way next time!</div>
<br />
Why now am I writing such a post about such an issue? Well its cause from the above personal and human experience, I had a thought today while driving through a street full of birds that had to fly out of my way. There was even one birdie that didn't move till the last minute and that made me look back in the mirror to check if it was alive, (it was). So it made me wonder if birds get annoyed when they keep seeing these huge things--the cars--coming their way and interrupting their meal time.<br />
<br />
Poor creatures--I feel their pain--us humans are quite annoying.<br />

So its been ages....<br />
Design never seems to disinterest me, no matter what it is. I'm in love with branding, architectural, interior, product, packaging, fashion, accessories, nature.... it's everywhere and its always entertaining to look at.<br />
<br />
So....today I wanted to share some products I found that are pretty to the eye, that are simply innovative, and even products that are so pretty you get people to buy them because they look nice but won't actually use them.<br />

When I need to simmer something, I always keep the wooden spoon in between the lid and the pot but I can not help but think that it could be a fire hazard since I use a gas stove.</div>

This is utterly useful, and I would definitely buy it and use it.</div>

Sometimes it is not the design that is beautiful but the end result of the material, meaning how it is printed and seen.<br />
<br />
Its amazing what technology can do now. In the past what looked good was the manual techniques used. These included calligraphy, wax stamps, hand-carved stamps, paintings...etc.. Now, machines are getting very advanced. Take a look at some of the stuff that print presses can do now, in mass quantities! These techniques make a simple design look great after it has been printed!<br />
<br />
<b>Edge Painting:</b><br />
Just as what is it named, it is. It is applied after everything has been fully printed. It is the last step.<br />

It is used when a small quantity is needed. There are two common digital printer types: laser and inkjet. Laser printers use laser beams, electrical particles, heat and toner (a plastic particle).

When printing large quantities, this is the type of printing that is usually used but it does require more time. It is more accurate in providing the color as it should be though.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's it...hope you enjoyed and learned something new :)</div></div>Ayooshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07683077699788235136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920976094369862508.post-71875917028776711712012-01-07T21:33:00.000+02:002012-06-20T12:25:01.837+03:00"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">A lot of time has past and I haven't written any posts...Christmas passed, new year struck, and finally here I am again writing. So I apologize for that and for the fact that I missed the chance to write a 'before the year ends' post and a 'happy new year' post. But aren't those always the same in every blog? "Here's to a new year" "I'll be better than the last year" "this year will be a better year" "jot down your resolutions and you can do it" "what are reasonable resolutions". Everyone started reading this stuff and I personally got sick of it in my email from all the blogs I'm subscribed to. I say whatever! If you wanna do something you would do it, no matter what month it is, what day it, or what time it is. You should really want to do it, and that not just saying it but also believing yourself. But unfortunately we have been brought up into this society as humans that need an excuse, that need that push to go further. And usually this push is a push that people see other people around them being pushed by (in this case the clock striking 1-1-2012).<br />
<br />
Now I'm not saying this is a bad thing but sometimes we take it to a bigger level than it should be. Its the trick up the sleeves of marketing, advertising and communication companies. Its the excuse to launch the perfect campaign--from the launch of a new packaging design that makes people want to buy it just because it has fireworks on it to the big event new years party that will pull up the losses of a company and to the launch of a new service that offers hope to people with a new year's resolution list to make their lives a little bit better (but in reality fails to do so and they end up back to where they were the year before).<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what my point is. I'm not saying avoid these things, cause that would be impossible. I guess I'm just trying to say don't forget that these things are happening. Everything should not be taken for granted. The thought of realizing what is happening around you, I think alone is worth everything. There is no need to express it and complain about it either but just know it--say in inside your head. This world we live in currently is conditioning us to stop thinking as much about everything and go along with what others are doing. People no longer think why has this been said, why is it this way. They do only what they are told, they give up easily, and they do no conquer the unknown. The shortest route is not always the best one to take. Challenge other people's actions and thoughts and even challenge your own. There is nothing that feels better than searching your mind and going deep within your thoughts. The best times I have had with the best people in my life is when we sit and talk (or it could just be think) about the way life is. Not about "what" but about "why" and "how".<br />
<br />
So if you want to put something extra on that new year's resolution of yours, let it be "to ponder".<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with a few quotes:<br />

Content is being placed online and reacted to on a daily basis, and it is creating an impressive impact on our society--anyone who watches the news will know this. The internet has become a movement of its own--its a place where anyone can be the advertiser, the contributor, the reader, the engager...etc. The digital media is very powerful, but currently what is missing in the middle east is not the presence of people to interact on the internet but instead the presence of useful websites for those media craving people in the middle east, moreover what is missing is the presence of middle eastern-created-websites. <br />
<br />
The majority of companies currently in the middle east are not utilizing the web strategically and placing useful information on their website...that's if they have a website at all to begin with. Today's first speaker spoke about how most top brands in our countries do not even have a website--he mentioned Habiba for example. Everyone knews the brand--even those abroad--yet there is no website that mentions it. It should be selling its products online--it would be very successful! <br />
<br />
The speaker then went on to speak about how the big companies who do have a website, such as Zain jordan and Arab Bank, have such boring websites or websites where one needs to click at least 3 or 4 times before obtaining what they are searching for. For example the Arab Bank online service keeps warning you about online theft (as if it is telling not to use the service) and the whole process is completely dull (with no banner on the website, only a small link that you have to search for) when on the other hand it should be shouting it out--after all it is a bank and this is a great service!<br />
<br />
This is only the beginning of the conference yet such critical information has been said. I hope our culture learns and I begin seeing great websites emerging from the middle east. There are a few but they need to be uncountable--we are capable of doing so much!</div>Ayooshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07683077699788235136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920976094369862508.post-46155694339343120272011-11-11T11:50:00.000+02:002012-06-20T13:19:11.290+03:00I see green inside your home<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Often when people contemplate over building a home or anything extra in their current home--one (of several) thoughts come into one's head: "will I have to chop down that tree?"<br />
<br />
It has happened several times with people I know that had no choice but to chop down some tress. Although it is a dreaded thing to do, since greenery is something people usually look for, people are sometimes left with no choice.<br />
<br />
That is the first reason for this post. My second reason is that trees just look good inside the house. So that said perhaps architects and people can start incorporating the idea of not chopping down a tree and inside building around it and make it part of their home.<br />
<br />

Coming to work this morning I was thinking about people and directions. Wouldn't you think that as an evolving human being that everyone should be born with that 'good with directions' instinct or sense? <br />
Think about it, a long time ago people looked at the sun and the stars, saw which direction the wind is blowing and knew right away if they are heading north, east, south or west. Now we have street signs, street names, gpses, friends on mobiles, google maps, rules on how people should drive and yet people are not good with directions.<br />
Is our mind de-evolving in that section or is it that we stopped caring and are focusing our human brain elsewhere? I'd like to think its the second reason.<br />
This was just a thought on my mind today. <br />
