Recycle


What is the importance of recycling?

While recycling become part of daily routine for many people, the full importance of recycling is not always understood. In general, people do understand that recycling helps to minimize the drain on limited resources of our planet.  However, there are several other factors that make recycling important. Here are a few other reasons why recycling is extremely important to our world today.

One of the great things about recycling is that process helps to minimize the presence of waste materials in our communities. Because items such as glass, paper, and plastics are being reused to create new products, they do not end up taking up space in a landfill somewhere. Since most people are not interested in having a garbage dump located near their homes or offices, recycling makes it possible to avoid creating newer and larger landfills that would otherwise be necessary to accommodate all the waste.

While many people realize that recycling is good for the environment in terms of easing the demand on our limited resources, they may not realize that choosing to reused and recycle items also makes it possible to cut the cost of producing products significantly. 

For example, it takes anywhere from seventy-five to ninety-five percent less energy to produce aluminum cans from recycled products than it does to create them from raw materials

. Thus, the importance of recycling not only extends to preserving raw materials but also to easing the energy needed to manufacture various goods.

Eiffel Tower



The Eiffel Tower was built in Paris from 1887 to 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, a French engineer specializing in revolutionary steel constructions.
Gustave Eiffel beat 300 other contestants for the building prize and although not all French people liked the Eiffel Tower from the start, it was kept to place telegraphic antennas on the top.
The structure took more than two years to complete. Each one of the about 12,000 iron pieces were designed separately to give them exactly the shape needed. All pieces were prefabricated and fit together using approx. 7 million nails.

Gazal 1




I’ll tell you something about the first Saudi car it’s Gazal 1 .
 Gazal 1 it’s the first appeared as concept at the Geneva motor show in march and will soon become Saudi Arabia’s first home-built car . the concept was designed by students in king Saud university’s automotive engineering program and built  around a Mercedes-Benz G-class . the students worked with  Magna Steyr  and studio Torino .
The car has been green lighted for production by king Abdullah . however there are few things that still stand in the way , such as financing  . According to estimates , the project needs a $500 million investment in order to get going. If the team finds the necessary investment , it hopes to have the car in production with two to three years . Production of the Gazal-1 is planned to be around 20,000 units per year.
Details about the car are rather scarce, but we know that it’s based on Mercedes’ G-Wagen and designed for the climate of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbors. Detail about the powertrain are wholly unknown, but it’s likely an engine from the Mercedes lineup made it under the hood, possibly even the 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 from the G55 AMG. We’ll know more about the car as its production date comes closer.

Ben & Jerry


Ben & Jerry's ice cream is one of the most known ice cream's company on the world, But what's the story behind the two men who made a huge difference in ice cream world & how was their beginning? Let's find out!
At first, both Ben Cohen & Jerry Greenfield grew up in Merrick, Long Island. They went to the same school & became friends since then & split up to attend separate colleges.
Ben worked as an ice cream man in his senior year before he head off to Colgate University upstate.
& Jerry worked as an ice cream scooper in a high school's cafeteria at Oberlin when he went there to pursue a pre-med curriculum.


After graduating in 1973, Jerry failed twice to get into medical school, & Ben made his way to several colleges but dropped out of all of them.
In 1976, Jerry moved back north & lived with Ben. They both knew that they weren't getting anywhere doing what they were doing, so they decided to start their own food business.
Ben & Jerry considered opening a bagel shop, but then they turned their attention to an ice cream shop because the equipment of such a shop was much cheaper, & they both knew a lot about eating ice cream.
So they took a $5 costing correspondence course for an ice cream making in Penn State University, then they combined their $8000 lifesaving with a $4000 bank loan.
The pair looked up for a warm-weather town to open up their first shop & then they settled on Burlington, Vermont. Leased an old gas station building there, & opened on May5, 1978.

They began churning out all the reach & creamy, fun & chunky ice cream flavors they had always dreamed about.
Their ice cream was a hit, Soon the shop couldn't accommodate the bunch of costumers who come, more & more folks clamored for a taste of Ben & Jerry's flavors creations.
So they started selling it to local restaurants, then grocery stores & supermarkets throughout Vermont & beyond. Way beyond.

In the old days money was something  valuable so the sale was exchange still Qaron came. before 3000 years Qaron was the first one who made a gold’s coins .about 2,500 years ago Romans built a mint for making coins and for hundreds of years people only used coins but it was dangerous to travel with a lot of gold and silvers so people was thinking how to make money easier . china was the first country which use the paper money but not everyone was had paper money or coins . in 643 Coroesus Luler of Lydia made the first coin of gold after people forgot it. But we cant forget wiliam Horakosta  he was the first one who made paper money and he’s the first one who broke in the word .

work freaks !


The online Macmillan dictionary define the suffix -aholic as :
"used with nouns and verbs to make nouns meaning someone who likes something a lot or who is unable to stop doing something."

It is used in many way like :alcoholic, coffeeholic and what I'll speak about workaholic.

A workaholic is –clearly- a person who is addicted to work. "so it doesn't sound so bad ! he is a good employ/student" you might think , but it isn't at all. 

A good employ/student isn't necessarily a workaholic, a workaholic is a person who:

  • works hard but and set impossibly high standards and is beset by a sense of never being good enough.
  • have a need to please others forgetting about  his/hers own need.
  • they don't work well in groups because they think that if they want it done will they have to do it themselves.
  • they are controlling.



A workaholic's life lacks balance and relationship and if they have any they probably neglect And ignore their partner/kids , they don't care about their own health and they usually get addicted on caffeine .

Addiction to work usually accrues in students who need to prove themselves and their families or when there is difficulties that the person find it better to ignore, it happens a lot before and after devours, and it usually end up with them stressed and depressed , in my poor opinion fixing this addiction happens by take a long term vacation with the people he loves and without feeling guilt and then making sure he doesn't suffer from unsolved issues and so . or for a better opinion one should ask his psychologist .
