The curious Fox

The curious fox, St Ana Lake, Romania - 19 Jan 2013 Photographer Dan Dinu encounters a curious fox as he walked in the woods.. This curious fox was definitely ready for its close-up. And luckily his pal Cristian Goga was able to snap the far-from-camera-shy getting up close and personal with the photographer. Dan was making his way to St Ana Lake in central Romania when he encountered the male fox. He explains: "It was a usual day when I and my colleague were shooting in the St. Ana Lake area. "After a while in the forest taking photos of interesting landscape, covered in snow and of a photogenic mist, we agreed to make our way back home. "On the way back, after a bend, the fox appeared in front of us. I stopped the car and the fox, instead running away, the way it should have been natural, started to get closer. "Of course, I didn't miss the chance and I took some photos. First, I used the telephoto lens and then, as the fox came closer, I used a wide lens. That's the explanation for the photo taken very close with the animal captured completely into the camera. "Although I initially thought that the fox behaved like that with everyone, as cars stopped near the road, it got away and continued its way into the forest. "The male fox behaviour is justified due to the fact that it has been raised around by a forest ranger, therefore it was used with people presence. Yet, it is not right to encourage such a behaviour, as animals must remain wild. It cannot be sure that next time, instead of looking at a camera, it will look into a rifle." http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=474440695942983&set=a.342434892476898.89335.338077742912613&type=1&relevant_count=1

God is Good

A King had a male servant who, in all circumstances always said to him: "My king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes".

One day, they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king,the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said: "If God was good, I would not have been attacked and lost one finger". The servant replied: "Despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything He does is perfect, He is never wrong". Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant. While bring taken to jail, he told the king again: "God is Good & Perfect".

Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who use human beings for sacrifice. In the altar, the savages found out that the king didn't have one finger in place, he was released because he was considered not "complete" to be offered to the gods. On his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his servant and said: "My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but for lack of a single finger I was let go. But I have a question; If God is so good, why did He allow me to put you in jail?". He replied: "My king, if I had gone with you, I would have been sacrificed because I have no missing finger. Everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong".

Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random, and that everything has a purpose.Everything happens for a reason, things do happen for our own Good. God is Good

Twitter and Oman

I would like to thank the creators of Twitter for creating such a wonderful tool that boosted local businesses and websites in Oman. I am talking about Kiwi cafe and OmanTippers.com as an example, both started up not even 6 months and are famous spot.

Thanks to ReTweet (RT) feature, it spreading like fire. People are sharing their experiences, feedback and mentioning them. Thanks to Twitter, Oman became well known country not just a neighboring country to United Arab Emirates or Dubai (a.k.a. the sin city).

Thank you to the users from Oman for spreading the word, without you'll,  our local businesses wouldn't have boomed fast. Thank you all for using other social media such as Facebook and instagram.

الملايين الموعودة

هناك سِرٌ بسيط عن ذلك المليونير..الذي أودع في سجن ما على جزيرة نائية تمهيداً لإعدامة لجريمة قتل قام بها..

حسناً.. لأنه مليونير فقد قرر رشوة حارس السجن ليتم تهريبة من جزيرة السجن بأي طريقة وأي ثمن..!

أخبره الحارس أن الحراسة مشددة جداً وأنه لا يغادر الجزيرة أحد إلا في حالة واحدة..وهي الموت!!

ولكن إغراء الملايين الموعودة جعل حارس السجن يبتدع طريقة غريبة لكن لابأس بها للهرب..

وأخبر المليونير السجين بها وهي كالتالي....
"إسمع، الشيء الوحيد الذي يخرج من جزيرة السجن بلا حراسة هي توابيت الموتى..يضعونها على سفينة وتنقل مع بعض الحراس إلى
اليابسة ليتم دفنها بالمقابر هناك بسرعة وطقوس بسيطة ثم يرجعون..! التوابيت تنقل يومياً في العاشرة صباحاً في حالة وجود موتى..

الحل الوحيد هو أن تلقي بنفسك في أحد التوابيت مع الميت الذي بالداخل..وحين تصل اليابسة ويتم دفن التابوت..سآخذ هذا اليوم إجازة طارئة..وآتي بعد نصف ساعة لإخراجك..
بعدها تعطيني ما اتفقنا علية.. وأرجع أنا للسجن وتختفي أنت..وسيظل اختفاؤك لغزاً وهذا لن يهم كلينا..ما رأيك..؟"

طبعاً فكر صاحبنا أن الخطة عبارة عن مجازفة مجنونه..لكنها تظل أفضل من الإعدام بالكرسي الكهربائي! المهم أنه وافق..واتفقا على أن يتسلل لدار التوابيت ويرمي نفسه بأول تابوت من على اليسار غداً.. هذا إن كان محظوظاً وحدثت حالة وفاة..!

المهم..في اليوم التالي..ومع فسحة المساجين الأعتيادية..توجه
صاحبنا لدار التوابيت..و وجد تابوتين من حسن حظة..أصابة الهلع من فكرة الرقود فوق ميت لمدة ساعة تقريباً..لكن مرة أخرى، هي غريزة البقاء..

لذلك فتح التابوت ورمى نفسه مغمضاً عينيه حتى لايصاب بالرعب...أغلق التابوت بإحكام وانتظر حتى سمع صوت الحراس يهمون بنقل التوابيت لسطح السفينة.. شم رائحة البحر وهو في التابوت وأحس بحركة السفينة فوق الماء..حتى وصلوا اليابسة..

ثم شعر بحركة التابوت وتعليق أحد الحراس عن ثقل هذا الميت الغريب! شعر بتوتر..تلاشى هذا التوتر عندما سمع حارساً آخر يطلق سبة ويتحدث عن هؤلاء المساجين ذوي السمنه الزائدة..فارتاح قليلاً
وهاهو الآن يشعر بنزول التابوت..وصوت الرمال تتبعثر على غطائة..وثرثرة الحراس بدأت تخفت شيئا فشيئاً...هو الآن وحيد مدفون على عمق ٣ أمتار مع جثة رجل غريب وظلام حالك وتنفس يصبح صعباً أكثر مع كل دقيقة تمر..

لابأس..هو لايثق بذلك الحارس..ولكن يثق بحبة للملايين الموعودة هذا مؤكد

انتظر..حاول السيطرة على تنفسه حتى لا يستهلك الأكسجين بسرعة..فأمامة نصف ساعة تقريباً قبل أن يأتي الحارس لإخراجة بعد أن تهدأ الأمور

وبعد ٢٠ دقيقة تقريباً..بدأ التنفس يتسارع ويضيق..الحرارة خانقة..لابأس..عشرة دقائق تقريباً..بعدها سيتنفس الحرية ويرى النور مرة أخرى

وبعد لحظات قليلة............

بعد لحظات..بدأ يسعل..ومرت ١٠ دقائق دقائق أخرى..الأكسجين على وشك الإنتهاء.. وذلك الغبي لم يأت بعد..سمع صوتاً بعيداً جداً..تسارع نبضة..

لا بد أنه الحارس...أخيراً..! لكن الصوت تلاشى..شعر بنوبة من الهستيريا تجتاحة.. ترى هل تحركت الجثة..صور له خياله أن الميت يبتسم بسخرية

تذكر أنه يمتلك ولاعة في جيبة..ربما الوقت لم يحن بعد ولكن رعبة هيأ له أن الوقت مر بسرعة..أخرج الولاعة ليتأكد من ساعة يدة..لابد أنه لازال هناك وقت..!

قدح الولاعة و خرج بعض النور رغم قلة الأكسجين..لحسن حظة.. قرب الشعلة من الساعة..لقد مرت أكثر من ٤٥ دقيقة..!!! هو الهلع إذاً

وقبل أن يطفىء الولاعة خطر له أن يرى وجه الميت..إلتفت برعب وقرب القداحة.. ليرى آخر ما كان يتوقعه في الحياة.. وجه الحارس ذاته..!!!!

والوحيد الذي يعلم أنهُ هنا في تابوت تحت ثلاثة أمتار...  النهاية

مختصرة  ..للكاتب هتشكوك !

Nawras next be Blogger sms?

In year 2012, Nawras the second private Omani telecom introduced Twitter SMS and Facebook SMS services, which encourages users to increase using SMS service before it get completely killed thanks to whatsapp and other similar applications which increased using mobile data more than sms.

I started using sms more often because I am temporary using old Nokia phone.

I am waiting for Nawras to launch Blogger sms service in 2013, or it might not launch it because not many bloggers in they country, as most switched to Twitter after year 2008.

I still feel most people are more active in Twitter then Facebook because of short, interactive and instant responses. Since year 2011, Twitter users globally taken it in a new level, fast spread of words, news, etc. Even celebrities cut off the spokesperson to interact directly with their fans.

The World's Most Active Twitter City? You Won't Guess it

The World's Most Active Twitter City? You Won't Guess it, its not any city in USA, it's a city in Asia, it’s Jakarta, Indonesia.

What a surprise, the country which was hit by the most famous cyclones managed to beat it and still continue to lead using the most famous social network site Twitter.

Don't be surprised, those which we think they are the most poorest countries, are most active users for mobile and social networking because the rates are cheap, comparing to our countries.

Happy new year

Year 2012 has left us very fast like the previous years, it become the past, filled with memories.
