Nice to eat here ...

You know what ... This damn shop is one of the reasons I can put up with life in Oslo ! Where everything is so damn expansive and sometimes not my type, this shop offers cheap, high quality, trustable food ... Oslo is a city of fake kebabs with shops that sell you something that can be called everything but not a kebab sandwich !!! But this one is a little bit different, a lot of people say it is the best kebab shop of Oslo
I love chicken kebab :-) Nice, believe me, give it a try ... you can check out infromation here : http://www.bislettkebabhouse.no/

Something cool ...

A fool with a tool is still a fool !

Exams time ...

It's so damn stupid that when it gets to exam suddenly I feel I have a lot to do ... I mean NOT studying but to do everything but not studying !!! So don't be surprised if I came out with a lot of writings about different things during this period !!!! and then suddenly disappearing after my exams are over and I have time ...

Anyway the exams are getting near and I really need to concentrate on my studies now ... The good point is about Norwegian Language course level 4, which I have already passed and have gained 10 study point out of 40 in this semester and for the remaining 30, I need to take final tests from 3rd to 10th of June. 3rd, 4th and 10th exactly ...

3rd : System Developing
4th : Object Oriented Programming
10th : Discrete Mathematics

Wish me LUCK !!!

Wrong direction, Wrong allies ...

I've always said, in Iran, our foreign policy is aiming at the wrong side. We aim toward middle east where my people ( Iranians ) and other people ( Arabic countries ), don't trust each other. We look for allies between those who no matter what we do, at the end of the day, they call us Iranians and look down on us.
In the last 20 years we have supported Iraqi political oppositions ( from Kurds to Shiite Arabs and from political credits to money and weapons ) against Saddam Hussein. Now that Saddam is gone and they have power, they sent a message to U.A.E yesterday supporting their claims on 3 Iranian islands in Persian gulf !!!
I don't blame Arabs for this to be honest. We were the first country that opened our embassy in Baghdad after Saddam's fall while U.A.E still refuse to open its embassy in Baghdad. But the fact is we are IRANIANS and they are ARABS ! This is once again an alarm for Iranian authorities, about finding trustable allies between Arabian countries !

The fact is that I believe we should seek allies locally in other directions. Afghanistan and Tajikistan with huge amount of language and cultural ties are perfect candidates in the first place. After it comes countries like Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Turkey which we have deep cultural similarities and at least of course I shouldn't forget the rising power of people of Kurds which Iranians and Kurds are more than brothers and we should support them in front of others ... With all do respect for Arabs, I don't mean they are not trustable or something, I just believe lack of trust, at least for the time being, between Iranian and Arabs are so huge that any alliance no matter how much we want looks impossible ...

I believe with this strategy we will have more trustable allies who won't look down at us at least, at the end of the day ...

historical fact, Persian gulf

29. of April is the "Persian Gulf" day in Iran. This day is named after one of the military operation against Saddam Hussein by the coast of Persian Gulf, when Saddam attacked Iran on September 1980. In this operation the Iranian city of Khuramsharh was freed by Iranian forces.

Iranians are very concerned about the name of Persian gulf and any change in calling the gulf name would result Iranian anger. Yesterday (29. of April, the Persian Gulf day) Iranian students (religious and non religious, which would rarely hold demonstrations together ) held a demonstration ( just students with out any advertising to invite people to join them, that's why the number of people didn't reach thousands ) in front of United Arab Emirates ( U.A.E ) embassy in Tehran to show their anger against :

• U.A.E's claim for 3 Iranian islands in Persian gulf
• Calling Persian gulf, Arabic gulf in some Arabian maps* and trying to bribe global institutions to call it Arabic gulf in their Globes against all official U.N. maps which call this gulf as Persian gulf (National Geographic 2004 was a small example** ) .
  

* : Since the 1960s with the rise of Arab nationalism (Pan-Arabism), starting with Gamal Abdel Nasser's Arab Republic of Egypt, some Arab countries, including the ones bordering the Persian Gulf, have adopted the term "Arabian Gulf" (in Arabic: الخلیج العربي al-khalīj al-ʿarabī) to refer to the waterway.^[6] This is controversial and not commonly used outside of the Arab world, nor is it recognized by the United Nations^[7][8][9] and other international organizations.

** : the problem in these cases is that when it comes to Printed versions at the end they appologize from Iranians and announce that they will correct it in their next print but the damage is done and all those globes at homes call that gulf Arabian. Exactly this is what Arabs are after with bribing them, just print it once in one version. TO REPEAT THE LIE ENOUGH TIMES TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE TRUTH.

Here comes pictures of the demonstration :

Internet, hvordan det fungerer? ( essay in Norwegian language about internet )

Internet er et verdensomspennende datanettverk. Nettet er et viktig hjelpemiddel for informasjonsspredning, kommunikasjon, handel, og administrasjon. Fra det ble alminnelig kjent omkring 1994 har Internet hatt økende trafikk og utbredelse. Stadig flere websider kommer til ved bruk og behandling av informasjon. De informasjonene som finnes på nettet vanligvis er tekst, bilder og lyd eller i den siste video. Forskjellige handlinger kan også utføres via nettet. For eksempel, man kan overføre penger, handler på nett butikker osv.

Teknisk utvikling av Internett startet fra et amerikansk vitenskapelig prosjekt i perioden 1968 – 1980 under ledelse av det amerikanske Advanced Research Projects Agency – ARPA. Prosjektet var et samarbeid mellom ti forskningsmiljøer i USA samt et i England og et i Norge. Siden resultatet var en suksess, etter hvert ble nettet større og større. Mellom 1980 – 1991 nettet ble utbredt til nesten alle amerikanske akademiske miljøer, og fra 1991 var anvendelser ikke lenger begrenset til akademiske formål. Deretter skjedde en eksplosiv vekst i antallet datamaskiner, anvendelser og trafikk, og på grunn av den fikk menneskehet en velkommen til digital periode, global landsby, Kunstig kommunikasjon, IT bomb, osv.

Men hoved spørsmålet er: hvordan det fungerer? En del av den store datatrafikken på Internet er digital kommunikasjon. For eksempel en sitter i et rom i Norge og skriver: ”Jeg kommer til Kina neste mandag.”, og da sender det til vennen sin som er på nett med mobilen hans/hennes. Setning, bokstaver, titall nummer system, osv er uforståelig for en maskin. Alt må først bli konvertert til binær tallsystem og da blir lagret digital inn i maskinen. Etterpå den setningen som er lagret digitalt på maskinen skal deles i små pakker, for eksempel 10 stikker. De pakkene senere skal sendes gjennom Internet til målmaskinen, og målmaskinen sender bekreftelse for hver eneste pakke tilbake til den startpunkten.

Det ser veldig enkelt ut, men i virkeligheten det er ikke så enkelt. Midt i veien må det være mange forskjellige utstyrer og verktøyer for å sende en pakke videre til det bestemmelsesstedet. Etter at data blir sendt gjennom kabelen eller trådløs nettverket, som man får nett forbindelse, blir det mottak av ISP (Internet Service Provider). ISP er et sted som forsyner nettforbindelsen med spesielle datamaskiner som heter Server, eller tjenermaskin. Hver pakke har et bestemmelsessted adresse som hjelper Server for å videresende pakken til riktig adressen. Pakken kan gå gjennom fiber kabler, satteliter og uregnebar Serverer for å rekke målet. Der blir data igjen konvertert til den måten som vi kan forstå og da den i Kina kan se på skjermen at vennen hans/hennes kommer snart til Kina.

En annen del og kanskje den største delen av datatrafikk på nettet er websider. Vi kan laste websider ved hjelp av programvarer som heter nettleser. En nettleser (Firefox, Internet explorer, Opera, osv) åpner HTML filer. Samtidig en webside er en HTML fil som ligger på Server maskiner i et sted(rundt i verden). Den filen er skrevet på et spesielt språk som heter HTML. Et ulogisk språk bare for å vise frem opplysninger på skjermen, men ikke alle websider er bare skrevet med dette ulogiske språket. Det finnes noen logiske språk som er HTML basert- for eksempel PHP,ASP, JAVA SCRIPT, osv - og er utviklet for å bli skrevet gjennom HTML linjenene. De logiske språkene gjør sidene interaktiv som er de fleste i dag. Det betyr at siden er ikke bare for å bli lest, men det kan få reaksjon fra bruker å svare på en intelligent måte til reaksjonen.

Kanskje den artikkelen her er en av de enkeleste forklaringer av hvordan det største nettverket i hele verden fungerer, men Internet er et overfylt sted med mange forsjellige muligheter. Man kan enkelt miste hva man var etter og derfor er det noen tjenester på Internet som hjelper deg for å finne vei frem. De tjenestene heter søkmotor. De søkmotorene søker gjennom de fleste sidene som mulig for å skaffe riktig svar for deg. Internet er en kultur i dag, en måte å leve, et verktøy som snart kan vi ikke leve videre uten det og til slutt hvis det er noen spørsmål Google er alltid der for å svare deg. Velkommen til digital era …

Iranian new year, Nowruz, Spring Festival :-)

Nowrūz (listen (help·info) Persian: نوروز, various local pronunciations and spellings) is the traditional Iranian new year holiday celebrated by Iranian, Turkic and many other peoples in West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Northwestern China, the Caucasus, the Crimea, and the Balkans.

Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Iranian year. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox (start of spring in northern hemisphere), which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed. As well as being a Zoroastrian holiday. In Iran it is also referred to as an Eid festival, although it is not an Islamic feast.

The term Nowruz first appeared in Persian records in the second century AD, but it was also an important day during the time of the Achaemenids (c. 648-330 BC), where kings from different nations under the Persian empire used to bring gifts to the emperor (Shahanshah) of Persia on Nowruz.

-----

My own comment : the text above is from Wikipedia but my own comment about Nowruz as someone who lived in the culture that celebrated this day ( first day of spring ) as their most important national day, is that Nowruz is a non religious day that people from majority and minorities in Iran celebrate to be happy, visit each other and spend a good time outdoor and indoors ... Nowruz follows with great tradition before and after it which makes it very special ... Last Wednesday before Nowruz there will be fireworks and 13 days after Nowruz is the nature day which people spends outdoors in the nature ... The table of 7 elements which all should start with "S" is a must as well beside all other traditions ...
