Moftasaالزينوفوبيا في جنوب إفريقيا
من 6 أشهر تقريبا، تعرض الاجئين داخل جنوب إفريقيا لهجمات واسعة و في أماكن متفرقة. تلك الهجمات ليست الأولى التي تستهدف الاجئين. ولكن هذه المرة الحجم كان أكبر بكثيرو راح ضحيتها العديد من الأرواح.
الاجئين من بلاد إفريقية مثل زيمبابوي و كونجو الديموقراطية والصومال. أنا هنا في زيارة لأحدى مراكز علاج و تأهيل ضحايا العنف. و في أول يوم لي زرت مخيم بلوواترز للاجئين في كيب تاون. المخيم نصبتة الحكومة والمفوضية العليا للشئون الاجئين كئيواء مؤقت لمدة 6 أشهر لأن الاجئين فروا من منازلهم. فالهجمات كانت قاسية جدا، و هؤلاء لاجئين أمضوا وقت طويل بجنوب إفريقيا و أسسوا حياة لهم هنا. Fast food prices in the past few yearsThis is a table of a selection of fast food prices from 2004 till 2008. This year's data is from Otlob. I found prices from previous years using archives of Otlob on the Internet Archive Wayback machine. Prices are in EGP. In Japan it is called Chikan
In Japan, sexual harassment in public transportation is called Chikan. From what I've found on-line, Chikan is a type of frotteurism. Chikan lacks the aggressive element in comparison to cases that made news here in the past few years. Chikan is more of a paraphilia than an anti-social behaviour. Facebook scale is scaryThere are 100 million people around the world using Facebook. This number is from the official Facebook blog. They don't mention the number of active users. But it is safe to say that they are a lot. I will describe an evil idea to control the decisions of a great number people that doesn't involve any intrusion on their privacy. They will be oblivious to this interference. I can't stop thinking about your fateless fateDerealization is the feeling that things in one's surroundings are strange, unreal, or somehow altered. Suddenly, today everything around me froze in time. A few fantastic left sitting in a small circle, CSF conscripts sitting in circles eating, a friend tired and thinking, children running after each other near a dangerous short metal fence, women trying to silence their kids sitting on worn blankets on the grass, policemen with a one inch thick stripe on the sides of their dark trousers holding walkie-talkies, a big neon green Allah sign placed on top of the Cairo governerate building, a huge Egyptian flag above Abdeen palace, green security forces troop-carrying vehicles hidden behind trees and a smoggy sky with a huge orange coloured full moon during a Ramadan sunset. Best astroturfing fart in the northern hemisphereNot all humans are capable of producing flammable flatus. Flatus is flammable because it contains Methane. A clique of NDP politicians created this on their own: From the DailyNewsEgypt: CAIRO: An NGO was recently launched to repair relations between Egypt’s citizens and its police force, it was announced Thursday. Named “Police and People” and created by former Foreign Minister Ahmed Maher, the organization aims to bridge the ever widening gap between the police and citizens, as well as foster awareness about the proper role for each. دليل المفطصى للتعامل مع الشرطة و يهدأ بالك بعد كدة على طول
بلا أدنى شك، ده دليل غير كاف و غير واف و ممكن يذهب بك لما وراء الشمس و أنا غير مسؤول بأي حال من الأحوال عن ما سيحدئ لأي مواطن(ة) وهو بيتعامل معهم.
و لكن لاحظت أني في العادة محظوظ جدا و لم أقع في مشاكل مع الشرطة بالرغم من تعدد التجارب. مائة ميزة في محافظة الجيزة
أبو الهول How to listen to live streaming internet radio in your carYou can listen to live streaming internet radio if you have a mobile phone with a 3G connection. The phone should be able to run J2ME MIDP applications (most do). Download and install MFRadio. It is open source and free. MFRadio can only play Mp3 streams. The second step is to be able to connect your phone to your car stereo. This is highly variable, so you will have to find this out on your own.
أخف من الريشةهل يعرف أحد لماذا قال لي المسؤول عن تحضير جثمان جدي أنة أخف من الريشة؟ لأن خطر في بالي وقتها هذه الصورة:
FoolishnessWhy am I the only person in the universe who has to pay for his foolishness instantly? Starting a fight with a Taxi driver and putting him in a headlock and giving him two sissy punches in the chest in the middle of the street over 5 EGPs, in a matter of few hours, costs me 178 EGPs*! While in headlock the driver decided to pull me from my right sleeve. The fabric of the shirt decided that it had enough. I was left looking like an ass hole, both for attacking the Taxi driver and how I walked away red faced with a torn shirt. You see I am a doctor and this sort of behaviour should get me suspended or ruin my career. I will stop going to work this week, so as to sort myself out. * Price of a new white Mobaco shirt.PatternsThe architect Frank Lloyd Wright covered some of his buildings with patterned concrete blocks. He named these blocks "textile." May be because he took the concept from textile designers who use argyll, houndstooth or paisley to decorate your socks, jacket and tie.
To me, I was thunderstruck to notice that a hospital in the middle of Cairo is covered with the same blocks – exactly the same blocks – that covered the building that was the living quarters of Harrison Ford in Blade Runner. Ghosts of BabelAdel (name changed) is a 14 years old Iraqi. He started medication for Asthma at the age of one, he continued the treatment for 7 years. Without medical follow-up. The family learned that the treatment turned out to be Glucocorticoids after adverse effects became frequent. His family noticed that he broke his bones easily. He developed severe Rickets and Scoliosis of the spine. His back is still severely bent to the sides.
I wish I can go back to Iraq if the situation improved. أشباح بابلعادل (تم تغيير الأسم) عمرة 14 عام. هو عراقي الجنسية و أخذ علاج للربو الشعبي في سن السنة و أستمر على العلاج لمدة 7 سنوات و لم يكن يتابع مع الأطباء. أتضح أن العلاج يحتوي على كورتيزون بعد أن تكررت مضاعفات الدواء. خاصة لين العظام و حدث لة إنحناء شديد في العمود الفقري.
نفسي أرجع العراق لو الأوضع أتحسنت. يقولوا لي في المدرسة الأزهرية أنت كافر لأنك عراقي و فاكرين لأني عراقي أني شيعي. و يضربوني على ظهري. ما في عراقيين في المدرسة و ما في حد راضي يتكلم معي. فقررت أن أذهب الى المدرسة الا كل بضعة أيام حتى أعرف ما وصلوا له في الدروس. |
