Flu# 7 Invention
Invention
Do we still need new inventions? Recently, every thing is under our control by one click. In the internet, you can bring anything while you are taking a cup of tea in your warm bed. Most global trade runs by computer. Relationships among people changed from letters or telegraph to life messengers, chat rooms, Facebook, and many others. Rich people have high technology in their houses, starting from access technology system to servant robot. Every day in the military, agriculture, Irrigation, and education, or you can add in all fields of knowledge, inventors surprised the world by incredible inventions. Do we need more? I think we keep encouraging those people to continue their fantastic jobs; however, we need some inventions in our relationship, we need some people who create a new language, a new dialogs among people rather them violence, conflict and terrorism.

Vacations
All people I guess are waiting for a long holiday. It is a great time to relax. Many people work hard whether they work or study. People who have children in school are waiting for a few days of holiday to join their children to enjoy a vacation. For me, I like to travel. Most of my vacations spent in Egypt. This is because not only my wife is from Egypt, but also because it is very nice place I have seen. In Cairo, the capital of Egypt, the people approach you with their good smile, and high respect. If you know Arabic or if you find someone to talk in the English language, you will be a lucky man. They have ways to simplify everything, and that is what you want in your vacation. Actually, a few of them might ask you for some money; however, they have several ways to get it with your big smile. The city was a historical city, because it was built before around 1000 years ago. In addition, you can find new regions beside the old one. In Cairo, tourists usually visit many places. The most important place you can visit is the pyramids. The pyramids were built 4000 years ago by pharaoh’s civilization. In Cairo, there are many amazing things such as the Nile River, the longest river in the world; also, it has an underground train, they call it Metro, which can take you along the crowded capital city in few minutes. When I drove out of Cairo, particularly on the Alarish road, I saw an amazing road; we found a tunnel under the sea that was several miles long. It was dangerous when we crossed with my family under the sea in that tunnel by our car; while we reached the middle of the tunnel, we observed some water inside the tunnel, but no way, we have to complete the road to the end, because the traffic blocked the second one, so we had to wait for the other cars to move. I encourage all people to visit Cairo; it is a wonderful place.

Election
It is the first time I have seen an election in the United States. In Saudi Arabia, we do not have election to choose our president, because we are applying the Royal System. Three years ago, we started in Saudi Arabia to vote in municipal councils and chambers of commerce, and other civil matters. So it is not big surprise when we see the election here. However, the important thing that I observed here, widespread media coverage, and the professionalism which conducted by CNN channel, which tempted me and my family to watch this matter to the end. My family and I surrounded my laptop, my small daughter yelled Obama, Obama, and all of us want Obama to win. My wife and her neighbors standing out of their apartments talked about who is winning. In my side, I could not close my eyes; in seconds the number of voters maybe changed, and I did not want to lose this historic moment. In the end, they declared Obama the next president of the United States! What a big historical moments! All my family, each of my neighbors yelled in one voice, my small daughter the most happy person. I do not distinguish our happiness. Is this because Obama has Islamic assets, or we have seen liberty back to America. However, direct event and information technology that are given another taste of the election.

Happy remined
When I was child, I did many things to stay happy. Actually, I was very lucky because I had many neighbors, who shared my interested childhood. Every day, after we finished our school, we gathered near my house. Some times, we played soccer; speared ourselves as two groups. In fact, we did not have real playground. However, we put some big stones as goal. Furthermore, we pretended as real players. Some of old neighbors might took our balls, and let us very sad. In the day after, we bring other ball, and complete our games. Some times we called other friends to make match with them. In that’s time, we cannot offered real cup, so we created it from glasses, or plastic. After any groups won, they take the cup as a good reward they had ever seen! If we were not interested in soccer, we had many games to play. However, one of them involve putting seven small stones on top of each, and kick it by small ball, the team who kick the ball run away; another team tries to bring the pall and hit the other players before they return the stones as it are. It is very interesting game. In that’s time children more energy than these days. Today, our children setting near the electronic games. They do not using their bodies, only one part of their bodies is work. I think this is bad way to spend their times. I hope we can create new games that help our children to unloading their physical energy. Maybe after several years, they memorize a happy times.

Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a large source of information you can find at one place in the Internet. Around 38 million people visited the English version of Wikipedia site in December 2006 ( Byers, 2007). Wikipedia consider the ninth most popular website in the United Sates. (Wolverton, 2007) the amazing thing is that you can use it free; however, it is not like an encyclopedia, because encyclopedia is more organize than Wikipedia. In this site, you can express every thing you want; many people visit Wikipedia to get some information, or just for fun. The people who write the Wikipedia not necessary to be professional; it is opens for any level of people. Therefore, there is no limit of age for people who write Wikipedia information. As Jason Wolverton (2007, para. 7) said,"Wikipedia articles can be written and edited by anyone at anytime”
Some people do not like Wikipedia because it might contain wrong information, any body can add any information to your article, and it might change some of the audience ideas. So, “the argument amongst scholars is that the information available on Wikipedia is not necessary accurate and that the articles themselves are particularly susceptible to internet vandalism” (Wolverton, 2007, para 11). Therefore, they cannot determine the truth; because of that, many universities banned using Wikipedia as resource especially in the history papers and exam. (Byers, 2007) Moreover, it allows others to argue without knowledge, or comment on bad words of some articles or writers.
The good thing about Wikipedia is the possibility of it’s guiding you to some good resources, or if you want to write something and you do not find the subject, you can get it from Wikipedia. In addition, some people could use it to find arguments regarding some problems."This website has grown into an immensely useful resource for background information on a wide range of scientific subject, and can serve as a quick reference for any number of scientific facts” (Parry, 2008, para 6). We can use Wikipedia or Google search or any similar resources to learn those students how to guess the authority of information sources, we need them to be independent when they get their information from mysterious sources.( Bilodeau, 2008)
.For me, I used it for three reasons,to find new articles,for good arguments,and for fun.

Time Alone
Person came to the life alone, and gone alone. During these times, he spends his time with people. In childhood, he lives with family. When he adult, he attends school where many people share him most of his time. However, some times, he needs to be alone; some of human natural require him to be alone, such as in the sleep times, or when he need rest room. Person could not stay with people all time, so he must be alone. Nevertheless, the question is how long did he stay alone? I think that is depending to the one condition. If he want to stay relax is differ than he is very sad. Some problems make people disappear few days, or more.
In addition, sitting alone may be a sign of some disease. Some people have autism or drug addiction. Because of that, I believe some cultures suspected about person’s alone time. For me, I like to be alone, when I am alone. I can be with myself; review my day’s activities, and my plan. I can manage or amendment many plans if that necessary, or go a head for it. More over, I can stay far away of daily pressure watching something I want, or hearing something I like. I will not be embarrassed to hear anything or see anything else he wants. If you stay sometimes alone, that may let you pining to sit with the other soon.
In contrast, if you stay with people all your time, you can clearly see how your relationship turn to the bad way is. Many arguments will establish, teasing each other, and many unwanted subjects. So stay alone as you can, but do not sliding off the abyss of loss.

Predation of Peregrine Falcon
People around the world love the Peregrine falcon. The public interest in peregrine falcon motivated me to identify this bird in his unknown world. “Peregrine falcons are the fastest flying birds in the world-they are able to dive at 200 miles per hour”(peregrine falcon, n.d, pare). These birds have many challenges in their lives; after almost becoming extinct, the government of the United States began to protect them and their nests “They use a technique called hacking, where 30 day-old birds are placed in hack boxes on cliffs or tall buildings. The box protects the young birds from the weather and predators” (The Peregrine Falcon, n.d. pare 8).
However, while they brought back to the life, and they increased in their population, they came to threaten the lives of other birds. As the author of American Peregrine Falcon (n.d. pare. 6).states, “The increasing population of peregrines has presented new risks to other endangered or sensitive birds such as California Least terns and Marbled Murrelets.” The new conflict might be started again among agencies, because the Migratory Birds Treaty Act, which “prohibits the taking, killing, possession, transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests except when specifically authorized by the Interior Department.” besides other organizations that spent many years to protect falcons. On the other hand, there are other government’s agencies that aim to protect other birds from the threat of falcon. “Monitors of such species must assess the threat peregrine pose and recommend actions, such as harassment or life – capture and relocation of individual peregrines” (American Peregrine Falcon, n.d, pare. 8). In fact, falcons face other problems from people who breed pet birds also.
In my paper,Iamgoing to discuss these problems because the falcons will be facing many problems, and might threaten other birds’ lives, or force them to migrate far away. To protect this kind of birds we must be careful because it is not pet birds, therefore, if we want to change their habitats, for example we should take the eggs and establish new falconry to make all the birds live in safety places. Moreover, we should prohibit any kind of the genocide, like poisoning or shooting the falcons to protect other birds!
Finally,I have found many articles that talk about these problems and give many examples that describe the threat of falcons and other advantages of increasing their number in the environment; in addition, I will try to find more solutions of this problem in other articles as much as I can.

Dream
In my age,all dreams has stooped. No more dream; we have taken every thing that we want. However, maybe we can dream of other people; our children, our friends, or people around the world. My dream of my children; I hope they can live in pace with their selves, and with their peers. In addition, I wish they could succeed in their study, and in their lives. My friends I hope they can complete their lives with more successful and healthful. At last, my dream of the world I hope they to be one nation. All of us came from same father and mother, so they do not need more differences in their opinions. They no need to fight each other. I hope some of wise men can rolled the world to drive it to new era, where no more fight or killed. People can help each other to solute economic problems, which might take our countries many years back. If there are one dream that can I imagine, one last dream when she disappear from my life. Everybody knew what did she main for me .Many lost years of my life run after my dream. Asked people could they saw her. Explored in the neither desert where there grasses nor water. Examined in the cities and streets where people and high bright streets.When I tired and exhausted, I decided to travel, to find some thing can make me forget her. Nevertheless, the years passed and I still memorize her voice and her good looking. Sometimes I fell her breathing warmed my heart. I see her standing with White dress that I like to death. I hoped that I could stop the wheel at that time. So do you know who my love’s name is? Her name is the happiness.

Holiday In Saudi Arabia is very interesting. Usually, people travel to cold towns in the west of Saudi Arabia or in the south. I would like to talk about Taif city, which is located in west of Saudi Arabia: it is 1700 meters higher than sea level. There are high mountains, which are rise to the sky, one of them as 6000 feet. Green trees are surrounding all the mountains. Families sometimes build small tents, and bring their foods, which usually contain lamb and rice. Children can move around, and gather some fruits which grow around mountains. During summer, vacations, there are many playgrounds in those mountains. It looks like sex flags, but it is not. In addition, there is a high electric track that can take people from the top of the mountain to down and opposite. People can get drink or food from different restaurants nearby. The difference between holiday in the United States and Saudi Arabia is people in Saudi Arabia might travel as a group of relatives, and have share their habits like soccer or another activity. Here you could not see two families together; In Saudi Arabia they might stay together for 20 days or more, but here I think it is less than number. Also in Saudi Arabia, they do not drink alcohol, so they use cola, tea, or an Arabic coffee. In the end, I hope I can go back to Taif to take my next holiday over there.

Halloween
In the past, Halloween is not an American costume. It came with Irish people who colon The United States around 1800. People here, usually follow everything strange comes from outside. Actually, this holiday need to be review in American society, because it scaring small children. In addition, it gives Devils something of importance and greatness and the ability to scare people.
At the same time, it drains the ordinary people's money; people spend thousands to buy Halloween's customs and throw it out after few days. It also promotes a culture of myth, which concerns the people of their own affairs task. In my country, we just have two big days per year to celebrate. One of them comes after holy Ramadan month, when we finished our fasting, and it mains thanks for Allah (our god) because give us chance to fast and break fast with good health. Second, it comes after Hajj when the people visit Makkah city in Saudi Arabia. After people performed worship and follow, the rites of the pilgrimage Abraham. They celebrate thanking Allah because they completed their Hajj. Other Muslims who was out of Makkah celebrate in their homes slaughtered sheep as Prophet Ibrahim did. We do not have any celebrate for divels! No way. We believe they are humans’ enemy. Our holy Quran teach us how they are driving people to the Hill. At the outset, the devil luring Adam and Eve, and took them outside the Haven. Today his followers want to drive people from their realism to the myths and myth. As a personŮ, I do not like to see people in appalling scenes. If a Doctor, respected teacher, or father who has many children dress up strange clothes, I think that is ridiculous. Moreover, it is inappropriate and not even acceptable.
