Did you know that in order to get the look and the feel of Finding Nemo’s characters and atmosphere just right, Pixar’s in-house art team was required to take courses and audit lectures in marine biology, oceanography, ichthyology while enrolling in scuba diving classes.
That is called respect of one’s project and work and respect of scientific accuracy.
The amount of work that is put into such productions make it a beautiful display of the night of human civilization!
Thank you #SteveJobs
Washington Post:
“Lebanon went deeply into debt to finance reconstruction, and with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 149 percent, it is today the world’s third-most-indebted country. The interest payments total more than a third of the government’s annual spending. Yet because politicians and their families control one-third of all banking assets — and because Lebanese banks own around 85 percent of the debt — these payments profit the very political leaders sinking Lebanon deeper into debt.”
لبنان يا بلد الزبالة و الزعامة
والوجاهة و التفاهة

لاصحاب السيادة و المعالي

When will America grow up and give up its muscle cars?
The sound of Chargers, Mustangs, etc. is an added noise pollution to our world.
Also, who needs 500 horse power to drive in the city. Car companies should be liable to deaths caused by such machines rigged for catastrophe.
The best thing about automated driving coming up is that it will eliminate aggressive driving and unarm teenagers by taking away their choice of driving.
And if you are not a construction worker moving rubble or a farmer moving tomatoes, why would you have a Ford F-150 ?!
To be a scary clown in a country that has 300 million guns with people is to be a scared clown.
Dear Social Media Users,
What you see on your social media is not Main stream. It is not what is popular. It is not what is factual. It is just your friends. You know, this is how social media works! 😐
Disengagement at work place costs US economy $550 billion a year.
The only condition for marriage that there is a consensus on by all Muslim scholars is Consent.
Everything else is just a symbol of consent that emphasizes it (like dowry and seegha and announcement), and seen by many scholars as unnecessary.
And the religion of the spouse is irrelevant if there will be no effect on the Muslim spouse’s faith.
With that, Islam might have presented the easiest way in the history of the world for marriage …. basically a consent in the heart. ❤️
All the complications are cultural and legal.
