I needed to go to the 5 floor and saw young girl has renal failure and she is only 16 year old, she lives in small village, when she was 4 years old she lost both of here kidneys due to polluted water and she got new kidney from here mother, but now her body is rejecting the kidney and she has to do dialysis every week.

I asked her if has ever gone to school and she said that she had been left the school when she was 11 years old because of her disease. Also she had hypertension due to her renal failure because the kidney isn't functioning well. I tried to make her smile anyhow and to make her feel better.

I met another old woman (80years old) who suffer from her heart, she had angina from 3 months and she was refusing to come to the hospital because she afraid from needles, I was with my friend and we were talking to this old woman and she was very welcoming.

I had also bought new stethoscope from MDF by 20$ and it is really good one.

Eid al fiter 2009 on Iraqi traditions

2009-09-18T05:55:00.003+03:00

When Eid al fitr start ?
Eid al fitr start after ramadan month end. It is 3 days, Eid al fitr remarks that the muslims had completed the fasting ( which is 30 or 29 fasting days according to sight of crescent ). Eid al Fitr is also called ( small eid ), people wearing new beautiful clothes and greeting each others with finishing the fasting. The common greeting ( Blessed Eid ) or ( happy eid) and wishing happiness to every one.

Eid fitr traditions in Iraq
at the first morning ( 7:20 am ) all muslim men go to mosque to do Eid prayer and when they come back to home after an hour all the family members are awake and have prepaired the breakfast and the children waiting for "edania" ( parents give money for the children so they go to buy toys and chocolates and to go to blay in see saw and to have fun.

Then the family goes to the grandfathers house and gathering with the relatives and having good time, the grandfathers give children money also.

And the family visits the relatives and builds happy bonds between families. This what give the Eid its flavor of happiness and joy.

I designed this card to greet you with eid

Helping family.family without house

2009-09-12T06:55:00.004+03:00

Family need help in Mosul, I've heard that a family consist of 4 girls and one boy and their mother, have been kicked out from house and thrown in street in mosul and they without hosue . The family had been rent house for $100/month but now they didn't have enough money to rent the house so the lessor kicked them out of the house with no place they can go to.

The family monthly income is too few dollars and have have no place to sleep so the went to sleep in the hospital but the kicked of the hospital after 4 days from being sleep in the hospital and then they went to sleep in mosque till they have money to rent house.

I am really very sad on this family and I gave the family few dollars (from my spending money since I still student with no income) and neighbours collected money to give the family place to sleep in.
so If anyone intend to help this family anyhow you can give them money or any thing .
the family have nothing but their clothes and their ailing brother (the father is dead).

I can't stand the idea of doing this horrible thing to family how they can do this to them.
isn't there any mercy in this world !!!!

update : man provide empty house temporary for this family till they get enough money to rent house . thank you

Iraqi people before war on Iraq

2009-09-11T23:13:00.001+03:00

Before war on iraq the people of iraq were under economic siege where no imported food, clothes , and many things. I remember the " dates candy " which was the chocolate of Iraqi children between 1991 till 2003 and there was few other types of chocolats made in iraq and few chocolates from Turkey that was expensive according to the size ( small one coast $0.4 while the salary of the officals was few dollars this was early 90s). I'm talking about most of people of Iraq ( normal working people )

I remember that mom was sewing and knitting us new beautiful clothes because all the clothes in the market were ugly and unproper. Families of Iraq learnt to make every thing at home including bread, clothes, glue, and people of Iraq were inventing new ways to lower spending money to minimum.

However before war on Iraq in 2003 life in Iraq was peaceful calm life no one kills or kidnaps anyone in the Day ! or even in night, no one dares to do this and there was no bombing no suicides.

World warming and things to do

2009-08-13T17:21:00.005+03:00

Less Heat and Air Conditioning

Set your thermostat just 2 degrees lower in winter and higher in summer will save about 2,000 pounds of CO2 in year.

Reuse, Recycle

Reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposable things. If recycling half of your household waste, you save 2,500 pounds of CO2 annually.

Change a Light Bulb

Wherever practical, replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Replacing just one 60-watt incandescent light bulb with a CFL will save you $30 over the life of the bulb. CFLs also last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, use two-thirds less energy, and give off 70 percent less heat.

Drive Less and Smart

Besides saving gasoline, walking and biking are great forms of exercise. Explore your community mass transit system, and check out options for carpooling to work or school.

Every gallon of gas you save not only helps your budget, it also keeps 20 pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Energy-Efficient Products

If you need to buy a new car, choose one that offers good gas mileage. Home appliances now come in a range of energy-efficient models, and compact florescent bulbs are designed to provide more natural-looking light while using far less energy than standard light bulbs.

Avoid products that come with excess packaging, especially molded plastic and other packaging that can't be recycled. If you reduce your household garbage by 10 percent, you can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

Less Hot Water

Set your water heater at 120 degrees to save energy, and wrap it in an insulating blanket if it is more than 5 years old. Buy low-flow showerheads to save hot water and about 350 pounds of carbon dioxide yearly. Wash your clothes in warm or cold water will reduce your use of hot water and the energy required to produce it. That change alone can save at least 500 pounds of carbon dioxide annually in most households. Use the energy-saving settings on your dishwasher and let the dishes air-dry.

While brushing your teeth, wash the dog or washing your car, turn off the water until you actually need it for rinsing. You'll reduce your water bill and help to save a vital resource.

Plant a Tree

During photosynthesis, trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. A single tree can absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.

Encourage Others to Conserve

Share information about recycling and energy conservation with your friends, neighbors and co-workers, and take opportunities to encourage public officials to establish programs and policies that are good for the environment.

How can we live more ?

2009-08-06T16:16:00.009+03:00

Iraqi kebab, making iraqi kebab

2009-08-04T01:19:00.013+03:00

Last friday, we had Iraqi Kebab on lunch it was extremely delicious :) , in Iraq the Kebab ( kabab or كباب ) has great popularity , even it is expensive but still number 1 on the most Iraqi favorite dishes, the secret of the taste is in the way it is done

we take natural wood charcoal and fire it

when it become like this we put onion skewers

preparing for broiling

put the kebab over fire and flip each one every 30 seconds

Iraqi kebab is ready now

we put teapot over the fire before the fire blew

nothing better than a cup of tea after this meal

how to prepare Iraqi Kebab for 12 skewers:

Two pounds of ground beef
One small onion (chopped- fine)
Two small tomatoes (chopped- fine)
Half cup of flour
Half a cup of chopped Parsley
Black peppers (as you like but don't put too much)
Salt

mix all these content very good with hands and then take lumps , each the size of your full hand, if meat sticks to your hand, dip the fingers in water and spread to your palm and continue molding until the kebab is about 6-8 inches long (make sure the meat is uniformly distributed).

Comparison. could life be changed ?

2009-07-31T01:43:00.002+03:00

Life is seconds pass without feeling, you don't feel till it become too late, till now I do not believe that I am entering 20s this make me wonder sometimes not for reason but because I think that I didn't live normal , all the time my country was in war and I didn't feel peace in its real meaning .

Before 30 year Iraq was rich country with oil , Baghdad was the center of knowledge in middle east , there was high buildings and hotels while the neighbouring countries was living in tents in the desert , now everything changed except Iraq still "rich in oil" , now there is people left there big houses in baghdad to save there lives , the prices are extremely high, even the kerosine became rare in winter !! this is and we are the country of oil ..While people of neighbouring countries live now in villas , skyscraper ..
I'm not envying them but I am sad on my country ..

Now we need hope , peace , working , uniting , to make bright future of Iraq

Earth shake in Mosul / Iraq = earthquake

2009-07-19T00:16:00.006+03:00

Now at 11:30 pm 19 of July 2009 an earthquake strike My town (Mosul/Iraq ) and I felt it. this is horrible feeling , my little brother said " earth planet will fall !!! " he is only 7 years old and he is so frightened from this and still awake till now.

We didn't get hurt and I didn't hear any thing collapse , nothing fall on the ground , but really my bed was shaking hard and and I felt like this feeling in first days of war on Iraq when there was an US army rocket passing over our home and it was night and my bed was moving on the ground while I was sleeping this was so creepy

Dreams

2009-07-15T19:05:00.009+03:00

Many times I ask my self
how far can we can get so close to our dreams??
I mean to where we would catch up our dreams. Is there a line separates between reality and dreams? or we could make any thing !!

When I was kid I used to imagine my self as a doctor with white dress and a stethoscope on the neck and now I'm making this dream with my hands as I'm studying medicine now and only 4 years separate me from this ( 4years till graduating).
But there is so many dreams in my head they still only dreams , I couldn't make them by my self and day by day these dreams are dying as dreams and disappearing.

do you think that we should hang up with dreams?

oh ... dreams

2009-06-30T22:58:00.005+03:00

Today 30 of June 2009 ,

I woke up at morning on the sounds of cars in the street , the government considered this day as a national holiday so all my family was in the house , people were celebrating in the street , and exactly at 9:01 am the helicopters were throwing clippings in the air on the streets of mosul and I was able to see them brightly , but it was two streets away from the house and it said that they contain a " congratulation speech " from the chief of ministers of Iraq .

This is the first day in Mosul city that we wouldn't see any soldier in the city , this would be very good .

People were celebrating at the streets and some was serving-out candies and juice to the people in the streets and some were putting on an national songs in the cars.

Actually the american army didn't quit from the city finally but they still around the city of Mosul but not inside it .
