some depression mode!

one down more than 4 to go!!

0.1.


1. Finally I gave this presentation in the company. It seemed they were happy with my results. And the big head of development of the company asked me to schedule a meeting with him. I said I want to back to Canada to work there. (I started to sing, Oh Canada, kidding!!:))
They said unfortunately they have only a sales office in Canada and the research and development is done in Philadelphia, if I wish to go there, they can pass some good words for me! Anyhow, I am glad this is done. So, as I say 1 down, 4 to go, if the next and 3rd one get done, I become more than 50% happy!! Especially the next obstacle which is major one!!

2. I am member of IEEE for many years, just today, I opened up the new magazine that I receive on every quarter. There is article on page 18 of spectrum with title: Qatar University opens EE doors to women!!
First of all, according to same IEEE magazine, Iran has largest engineering female in university, so these guys are way behind us!!
Second, once again this Arab dude in my office took me to another discussion with him. He started to ask me have you heard about this news, that news. Moftie leader of Saudi Arabia say that say this! More or less, he lead me there, I said, have you heard about this high profile news, that a few months ago, a girl in Saudi Arabia went out with his soon to be finance or something like that, later the friends of that guy join them, in the end, they all rape that woman!!! I continue, I read that the judge has said, the woman is at fault since she should not have gone out with that guy before getting married!!!!! I said, if this is Islam that you are saying, I would condemn it! Unless you gave me other definition! The Arab guy said, yes, this is not Islam, but you know the woman should not have gone out with that guy, either!!!!
I was furious, I said, ok, since you are having a wife (according to you) imagine we and a few other guys go out, shall we have a right to rape your wife!!! Of course not!!
And then he continued, ya, but men and women are different, I am stronger, …, I told him, ok, forget it stop it there. You and me never come to an agreement!!!!

3.1. I finally uploaded the photo. I realized the add photo bottom in blogger is not activated if you use firefox!!! with Explorer is all right!!

3. The photo up there, I like it, because it says don't make trash on environment as much you avoid you own living room! This is a public announcement brought to you, by MEE!!!
ok I don't know why I can't add the photo I do that later!!

1. It is raining cats and dogs! none-stop!

2. see this video, the child is quite funny!!

3. hum, this coming week is quite decisive in my life, an extremely important presentation at the company which my work was initiated from it! This presentation is in front of 20 people (according to the guy who has set the time) who are head of different groups in spine and biomechanics! It took him more than 6 months to put these 20 people together!!
then, some other personal ups and down in life, hoping that happens!! all and all feel nervous!!
lots of busy mind!can I scream!!!!!!!!! perhaps! may be not a good idea! an scream of internet version! that none can hear!!!

Stories of the Arab guy!! ANDAR Ahvalate this Arab guy!

1. No, it is not me! that I want to avoid writing about this but, he makes me to write it down!!!
oh, what is the story, did someone asked?
It is late evening at work, he is back from laboratory to the office and he looks little down!

Arab Guy (AG): I had a big fight with my landlord!
me: how come? you really fought with your landlord?!!
AG: not really a fight, but we had a [major] argument!!
me: I am sorry to hear that!
AG: He has complained of me to my supervisor!!...He asks me to do things that it sounds strange?!
me: like what?!
AG: he thinks I should say hi to his guests!!!...He thinks after 9:30 pm I should not cook! I should try all the dishes I washed properly as he says!!
Me: I see, but what has he complained to your supervisor about? I think that is important, if I could know?!!
AG: He has told I am an arrogant person! I don't comply with the house rules, and I left the main door open, I don't clean the kitchen after I have used the pots and dishes and etc.
Me: hum, I think it would be for you to comply with the rules of him, since you are staying here not more than end of December!!
AG: No, there are certain things you can't go on and not answer, you should stand for your bases [dignity:me]!!
me: as you wish!

related to somewhat related conclusion: This is where I say many Arabs can't differentiate between human dignity and what they gain and lose to comply with some rules put up!!
somewhat on related: After seeing this guy radical views which I said previously, I was once in the coffee room, with my boss and him, I was trying to pretend that I am busy with a paper I am reading to avoid talking to him!
I overheard he was talking to my boss who just get to know him the the coffee room in that very minutes! He was telling him with his heavy Arabic accent how my boss should pronounce the name of his supervisor. My boss had initially asked him so, you work with [name of his boss]. and He replied, who? and then he started to tell him, my boss is pronouncing Arab guy's supervisor name wrongly!!
Funny enough, that supervisor of him is Swiss-Hungerian who works here for more than 15 years and he has been all his life in Switzerland, I am sure everyone knows how to pronounce his last and first name, especially himself!!!!
This guy was saying, everyone is wrong in English it should be pronouce like he was saying!!!
talking about ....

Carrefour in Tehran!

1. Apparently, Carrefour in Tehran is establishing a large supermarket. Carrefour aims to shake up Iran’s food industry .

My 2-cent: More than ever Iran is going towards French oriented market. This may rise anger of American economy, so things may get more complicated!!

2. Apparently, it has been a large propare explosion in Toronto Canada!

How did you spend the weekend! Jura!

1. First of all, the weekend was relaxing and at the same time full of exercise! I was in region in CH is called Jura. They speak French and they have nice area who can go Kayaking and Horseback riding! I get to practice very little French (since I don't know any!) and German since many didn't speak any English!
As customary to my Journeys I take public transport (not to mention I have no car!:) and therefore I get a chance to read fairly well.
This week with so much hype with National Geographic article about Iran and Persian Empire I went to newspaper kiosk and bought a copy.
After reading the article about Iran and enjoy the truth about many statement written in the article, e.g. The first and most phrase people told to the author of the article is "We are not Arabs!!".
The second article I get my focus on was about Moscow: the city never sleeps. As a curiosity, I wanted to understand how is Moscow and how safe it is in what extend while has most millioners in it. Almost to the end of the article, a page before last, I came across these phrases:
-->
"In this cacophony a millionaire could expand and relax. For one thing, no guns are allowed inside Diaghilev. The club had a 40-man security force, and any customer who felt in dire need of protection was assigned a personal bodyguard. A bomb dog had sniffed the chairs, and a security briefing had alerted the staff about special needs, such as guests from Iran who did not want to be photographed drinking champagne with scantily clad models. I had followed Yegor through a back door. How Yegor arranged my visit I did not know, but the chief of security was not pleased."

I started to wonder who could be this Iranian guy who doesn't want to be photographed or named! Could be one of our famous childern of Ayatolahs' in Iran!? Perhaps. If anyone knows please step forward and write it!


2. National Geographic has an old Persian map enclosed with big Persian Gulf name. I am intending to hang it on my office wall, so the Arab guy can see it big and bold!!

3. This Arab guy is sometimes going on my nerve I am intending to ignore him. One of last week days, We started to talk about Israel and Arabs! and I said killing is not an answer to anything we see today!
He replied with his heavy Arabic accent, If someone kills your brother what would you do? I would try to find out why that happened and what was the reason for it! I replied.
He answered, no I would kill him! I said why? he replied. No matter what I would kill him!! after a few back and forth, I gave up! In his opinion you should kill whomever killed you brother! he said. no mercy!
Anyhow, he is too violent for my taste!
I now avoid him or even talking to him!

See the ancient Iran photos

3.3. answer to recent fuss about article written in Spiegel, German language tabloid!!
from National Geographic: "Among the carvings there are soldiers, but they're not fighting; there are weapons, but they're not drawn. Mainly you see emblems suggesting that something humane went on here instead—people of different nations gathering peace­fully, bearing gifts, draping their hands amiably on one another's shoulders. In an era noted for its barbarity, Persepolis, it seems, was a relatively cosmopolitan place—and for many Iranians today its ruins are a breathtaking reminder of who their Persian ancestors were and what they did."

Tahmineh Milani excellent answers!

Be ghole ghadima: Shireh Ms. Milani:)

Music!

0.1. Reading Arsh weblog and the sad news she heard about her co-worker, reminded me of something a several Years ago in Toronto.
A pleasant and lovely 26 years of age lady who was co-worker of friend of mine accompany us for a lunch in Toronto. We had some conversation and She mentioned that she is going to see a Chiropractic the same afternoon as she feels pain in her neck.
Two days later I saw my friend for lunch and he said, do you recall my co-worker two days ago with whom we had lunch? I said Of course, I recall. He said, she is from neck down paralyzed!! I said you must be kidding! No, I am not, my friend said. Apparently the same afternoon we saw her she goes to chiropractic office. He somehow tries to release pressure of her neck by axially rotating it. Then, she must have resisted, somehow, so, the nerve gets cut or something happens that she can't moves her leg and hands afterwards!!!
This is striking and so sad:(

1. I didn't want to remove previous report about that old women who sells pens to make her ends-meat! I may cut and paste it here again.

here some music: Ok I explain what is especial about this song: Here Dinah Shore sings an Iranian song. Who is Dinah Shore? Wikipedia says: was an American singer, actress, and television personality. She was most popular during the Big Band era of the 1940s and 1950s.



this is my favorite by Hoomayoun Shajarian.


This is by Alireza Asar for Iran, and big punch to eye of AR-ab who think non-senses.

Just another story of real life...

1. Don't know why after reading this story, I had drops of water in my eyes. couldn't feel well, either! feeling sad! Every time I read this:(
Read the story for you own!

2. Still want to keep the above article!

3. According to scientists Happiness is immune to life events! According to these studies done in 20 years, The most negative event which had a long lasting effect for longer than 2 years was losing a job!!
According to these study, it took 5 years for those who experience it, to forget that! Even, divorce and death had not more than 2 years lasting effect!
The same was for also positive event in life, like marriage and child birth!
My psychopathic conclusion:
As I have always said, relationship is becoming more and more on the background of real issues like work and making money and getting a job!!
...

I don't feel write new thing, want to keep the above link for while here.
While reading that listen to Gary Moore weeping guitar and sounds!

what shall I say ...

1. Watching this interview of Mr. Ahmadi Nedjad with first channel of IRIB. It is embaressing! listen and watch carefully! He simply lies especially at the beginning! makes false statement, imaginitive statements! There is part he says like this: "we sat with other memebers of government to see what is the pulse of world economy[!!], we sat down and ploted all the graphs that needed to be done[!]..., So, we know very well how the world economy is turning and where are the pulses[!!!]...

Highlights: One of the anchors says,...yes, we know that Iran foreign and internal affair has been so popular in world that we need many sessions to talk about it[!], however, Iranians with Iranian passport can only go to 26 counties. Even Syrian people can go to more countires!! Isn't that better to bring all these mightiness to real life and life of ordinary people! Everyday, there are tons of Iranians in front of any embassy asking for visa and those from embassies are acting rude towards them.
AH: You are informed wrongly! there a just one or two european counties like doing that! The rest everyone loves us!!!! ... There are some countries we also give them with difficulty visa, may be those one, which are not many...

Highlight 2: Iran is loved all around the world! Everyone likes us and they are jealous of our approaches!

Oh, after listening to these interview, truly I think I see sign of Psychiatric disorders that is: You say lies, you heard it or keep repeating it, so you start believing them! It is type of delusion, monomania and perhaps mild schizophrenia and also synchronicity!
Someone is obsessed with things himself says! Someone believes Iran is mightly and everything is fine, just needs some little work!

though, he has some points about economy!

Farsi ro pas bedaarim= Let's speak proper Persian

No comment!:)

Conference and the issues on the side!

The conference of European Society of Biomechanics is finished. It was quite fruitful for me. I get a chance to talk to many big names and seek their opinion.
having said that, one thing was quite interesting, the completion between Germans and German speaking society at large and within Germany. It seems this competition rather than being a healthy and positive one, was turning to a nasty, and saying you are wrong, I am right, tone. In general there were few highlights which I would name:

1. Presentation of a Japanese guy:
This guy presented in his very heavy accent, but the funny part was when someone asked something about the what was the posture you measured. He raised his leg almost as high as the chair of the session and said: how to say that, here, feet while pointing to his arch!!(may be doesn't sound funny, but at that moment it was!)

2. An Iranian professor who was presenting a work of her student. She was so worried that she had asked Salman to be there, so if someone asked any question and she couldn't understand, he would translate that. Salman was busy with his session, so he asked me to do that. This lady read her own presentation of the writing she had. There were so many mistakes in the slides that one can say unimaginable! however, the highlight was when the chair of the session who was from Stanford University asked a question. She asked me to translate it, I tried and then she answered. The chairman seemed happy with the answer. So, this was done. Apparently, since I was sitting in front row, many people who didn't know me, thought I am her supervisor!!!

3. Spine session, There seemed it was some extra friction between some young researchers from different groups!
The young guy presented, then in his presentation, he mentioned about a process which may contribute to a mistake of a measurement that the members of the other group were there. He said we published that in this Journal as a note to editor!! Then during Q & A period, there was a guy sitting behind me, with heavy German accent and little bothered voice protested to those suggestion, then he said, "come on, this is simple mechanics!" The Presenter said, no you are wrong, with some uncomfortable voice!! Then the chairmen of the session intervened and stopped them. Then, the guy behind me, said he (pointing out to the presenter) doesn't like us, He tries to pick on us! I should point out he is wrong!!

me and this Arab guy from Syria

As I said, There is this Arab-Syrian (as he put it himself) has come here to do his Masters project.
This morning I arrived in the office and said hello! He asked me if I know of an adaptor for his laptop since its cable doesn't have Swiss transformer. I Looked at it and said, this is British or Australian plug. You asked one our colleagues...
Before I finish my sentence he said, but this is an American plug!!! I bought is in the Gulf area, I used to work there, in Ghatar!!!
Excuse me??, I said.
Which Gulf, Mexican gulf are you talking about or Persian Gulf. He said, we refer to that ... Before he finishes, I said, Persian Gulf is Persian gulf, no gulf, no unknown Arabian something. You should respect that, otherwise I will call Syrian Land, Israel!! Would you like that??

Anyhow, after long conversation, I convince him that Land like Bahrain, U.A.E were belong to Iran about 50 years, ago. And British, somehow, separated those land by trick or lack of political will in Iran, then!!
Other surprising issues, I heard from this guy:

This unknown arabian gulf was the name there, always!!! He didn't know that poor Egyptian President Jamal Abdol Naser was the first who used this unknown word!!

He thinks that one of the province in Iran is Arab-e-s-tan ( That would be Khozestan) and Iran has occupied that land!!!!!! (ok, excuse my language, i am not sure who M...F... teaches these craps to these the Arab Brains!)

Positive out come: by end of today, He does not make any mistake to call Persian Gulf anything less than that!

One other think, He has his own small carpet and every few hours, he praises on it in the office!!

despite all that, he seems all right guy!
What I am wondering what kind of propaganda they do in Arab land against Iranians!!

Miss everything!!

1. First I missed my parents and friends! I missed many things. I wished I could be of help to them during these days.
It is quite strange there was this aunt of my dad, she was about 81. I heard she just died on Monday around 2:00 am!!! I was sleeping Monday around 2:00 am, though I saw her in my dream and somehow I jumped!! The next day I called Iran and I was told she has passed away!! Every kind and nice lady who was quite wise. She will be missed.

2. This is Iranian National Anthem during Ghagar Dynasty!



3. One of the most important thing is when you are going out with anyone, you can't criticize her/him for her/his behaviour! what you can criticize your partner for is her/his bad habits!! Despite this politically correct approach we tend to get offended even if someone says that this habit of mine is not appropriate!!

4. Just an Arab student who studies in Germany came to our office. He will be doing his Masters here! Only one comment, he seems nice, he has worn dress jacket with pants. Why can't he remove the jacket label on the right arm! I wonder about those who leave the sticker of the brand name on the cloth!!:)
