CPR may become a thing of the past

However, emerging evidence suggests there may be a more effective protocol for resuscitation that can save even more lives, and it's simpler than traditional CPR. Cardiocerebral resuscitation, or CCR, differs from CPR in that for <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3k8O7RA5F6sYIuA9SpKg_fud10QA_Ik21aTbe3uBr7XNG5jzJsnBZIdgjKzTtm31lIMTc-vt9NpPv6Fb7BOpMcU-JETFln_ing7SP77nmX87EI0ihhhsOt4DJpo-cx8JjNpCg7bsp7Ls/s1600/one-person-cpr_~CPRCYCLE.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522191384131218242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3k8O7RA5F6sYIuA9SpKg_fud10QA_Ik21aTbe3uBr7XNG5jzJsnBZIdgjKzTtm31lIMTc-vt9NpPv6Fb7BOpMcU-JETFln_ing7SP77nmX87EI0ihhhsOt4DJpo-cx8JjNpCg7bsp7Ls/s320/one-person-cpr_~CPRCYCLE.jpg" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 202px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>the first 5 to 10 minutes after cardiac arrest, a rescuer does not breathe for the patient at all. Instead, the focus shifts to performing unrelenting chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute. One clinical trial in Wisconsin showed this technique saved 30 percent more lives when compared with traditional CPR. Better yet, patients who receive CCR instead of CPR were found to be 24 percent more likely to be neurologically intact upon release from the hospital. "It's one of the first times in medicine something has gotten simpler," says Dr. Amal Mattu, professor of emergency medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center. There are two main reasons why it works: One, constant pressure on the chest maintains a constant blood pressure, which insures blood flow to vital organs. In CPR, when a rescuer turns from his chest compressions to give the breaths, the blood pressure quickly drops to near zero and the blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs. Blood pressure is built up slowly over the course of the compressions, so when the rescuer returns to them, he or she has to make up for lost time. Second, ventilations actually counteract the effectiveness of chest compressions. When a rescuer breathes for a patient, he or she forces air into the lungs, which increase the pressure inside the chest. Then, this force squeezes on the veins that return blood to the heart. "That results in less filling of the heart," Mattu says. "If there is less blood coming back to the heart, there is going to be a lower output from the heart, lower blood pressure, lower perfusion of the coronary arteries and the brain." Constant blood flow to the brain increases the chances for survival, and that is one reason why the studies are finding CCR patients to be more neurologically intact. The more time the brain spends without oxygen, the greater the chance for brain damage. "Chest compressions, early on, are much more important than airway issues. When people are focused on airway issues, they tend to not do as good chest compressions, or their chest compressions are too slow," Mattu says. What rescuers need to realize, he says, is when the heart stops beating due to cardiac arrest, the blood has enough oxygen to support the organs for around 5 or 10 minutes. Quality chest compressions are just as important as having a defibrillator early on. Dr. Comilla Sasson, professor of emergency medicine at University of Colorado Denver, and her colleagues found when EMS arrives on the scene, doing immediate chest compressions is as beneficial as shocking a patient with a defibrillator right away. Furthermore, they found if the EMS personnel arrived more than 5 minutes after the onset of the cardiac arrest, chest compressions first had a slight advantage. Currently, CPR certifying organizations, such as the American Heart Association, have yet to include the principles of CCR in their protocols, but Sasson thinks the AHA will probably include some of this research when they meet to discuss their guidelines in November. When the organization last changed their protocols in 2005, they increased the ratio of compressions to breaths from 15:2 to 30:2, and this year, they may forgo the breathing all together. "Our research right now is showing that chest compressions are the most important thing that you can do," she says. "We are hopeful that the Heart Association will take that to heart." Most people have an aversion to mouth-to-mouth breathing to begin with, and Sasson speculates that a bystander trained in CCR will be more willing to act than a person who thinks he or she has to breathe for the victim. "The best way to increase bystander CPR rates in the U.S. is to get the message out that hands-only CPR works," she says. A study published in the July issue of The New England Journal of Medicine found that 911 callers who were given instructions for CCR were more likely to intervene than callers who were given instructions for traditional CPR. Currently, 25 percent of people who receive out-of-hospital CPR will survive. If the studies are valid and CCR can significantly increase this percentage, then a lot more people will survive. However, CCR is not a panacea. Mattu says this method should only be used with primary cardiac arrest, which means the heart stops pumping blood due to a problem with the heart and not because the patient has stopped breathing. In those instances, positive pressure ventilation is essential. On the other hand, Mattu says about 80 percent of cardiac arrest victims are primary cardiac arrest patients and could benefit from CCR. Additionally, after 5 or 10 minutes of chest compressions, a person will start to need some more air put into their lungs. Over the past 30 years, prehospital cardiac survival rates have been constant—nine out of 10 people will not survive a cardiac arrest—in spite of all the money and efforts to teach CPR to the public. Currently, only 25 percent of patients receive any out-of-hospital resuscitation at all. Sasson says the combination of the science of CCR and public outreach to teach it is what needs to be done to increase cardiac arrest survival. "I think that is where hands-only CPR can revolutionize the approach to cardiac arrest," Sasson says. "It's a really simple message—pump hard, pump fast." </div>

<div>“For We had certainly sent unto them a Book based on knowledge, which We explained in detail a guide and a Mercy to all who believe.” (Qur’ân 7:52) “. . . We have sent down to you the Book explaining all things, a guide a Mercy, and glad tidings to Muslims.” (Qur’ân 16:89) According to the Pew Research Center; a fourth of Americans say they know " nothing at all" about Islam, and of non-Muslims polled, 58 percent said they don't know any Muslims,The strange thing is that after 9/11 in all the world many people has embraced Islam as their religion. This make us wonder if the Media is guilty of not give what they are for and this is the Information:media coverage of Islam focuses too much on terrorism. Two extensions of that argument are that non-terrorism news doesn't often feature Muslims and that the news doesn't provide enough context about anti-American sentiment until a situation blows up. A Wave of Conversion to Islam in the U.S. Following September 11 with no doubt was followed after the Media coverage of Islam which attracted the attention of many people curious to know what Islam is. When they sow and learned more, finally they took the decision to convert to Islam, to know the truth for themselves and not what the media say which all we know is not always true. Personally I didn't knew either about Islam or Muslims before until the day <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu2vXxC6j4mrGdLOlX2Knoe8D0jQzTlVCMoXG2snHcIhC-TVxMrLJo2pPBfvuhvpO1jYYDijId0BgJO9PrveOJOQdY3yqomFxyGR0xESDCbTAehAogBZkI2458v83tSfqDIMj_lAzUAmA/s1600/el-clon.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521752662512334274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu2vXxC6j4mrGdLOlX2Knoe8D0jQzTlVCMoXG2snHcIhC-TVxMrLJo2pPBfvuhvpO1jYYDijId0BgJO9PrveOJOQdY3yqomFxyGR0xESDCbTAehAogBZkI2458v83tSfqDIMj_lAzUAmA/s200/el-clon.jpg" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 142px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>when in a TV channel I sow "El Clon" a TV serie filmed in Brazil and Morocco(I really should make a post about this), where the protagonist after her mother died is riced by his uncle in a Muslim Family, that was my very first contact with Islam and the knowledge of the Q'uran, years past and subhanallah, I married my Husband (Muslim) I was Catholic but only of name and after see with my own eyes how wonderful his religion was and the culture of Islam then I finally embraced Islam alhamdullillah in 2005.I would like to add that I knew more about Islam before I embrace it, while I was trying to prove to my husband that he was in a mistake, then, it makes me realise that I didn't even know about Catholicism and either about Islam, then this guided me to a research in both religions but, when you came in a point where you confront both you finally find the true one, Islam.

Fashion and Hijab-Choosing the right one

Egypt in this days has a grown number of girls that has adopted the "Hijab", it sounds really good, since Egypt is a Muslim Country, the only problem in this is they are doing it because of the " Fashion". Egyptian girls has a wrong idea about "Fashion", many of them leave their homes wearing as if they will appear in a TV program or if they were Models from a "Fashion Magazine", which they are not, sadly for them, they try the best to look perfect, even when this some times doesn't work out, they often look to the others around them, probably they can copy some style or to be aware of the new street fashion,this style of hijab has become one of the most popular between the "Hijabis" here in Egypt: <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514288660344434226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrackBi2Z41YhPzjkjyEqcYnhVjAGdo_v2bP_POUmqyfz4YN0zwfQjaX8Ql752hTceBC3zEtdl5alzYNG4iHeNBRQg4E0NHaasvnMJ9LEdcp0bHA1OLb5LGVf0emYuRvaZj6MVR7IS0wc/s400/vw6-261x300.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 261px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> Even some companies only hire women who were this style and not this one I think more correct for a Muslim women: <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514295677355225810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNHeHF7nJLut6JtBqEUYNYP-HfmyPbmn1r-RuOgrVOjSFdw0Ddg5dTdqKLZcu2JdBtAstBVNi2outaPAV37RriwY5blS3eDWJRg6XpIbk355u6dXSSGFKVV0sGy0Uu0Kr_xbVZ8LueMds/s400/Egyptian+Hijab+Style.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 327px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 363px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> They try really hard to be "Fashionable", this is something we shouldn't criticize,thought, this is something "Natural" we are women and we always will be attracted to "Fashion", but the problem is that, we are forgetting the real intention of wearing Hijab, more women believe that the Non-Hijabis has more options to look good with whatever they wear, Hijabis has a real hard time finding the appropriate clothes, if they looks good probably they will not cover you good, if they cover you they doesn't looks good, and what about the different shape of bodies, and don't speak when it comes to choose the right hijab style that looks good for you and in the same time covers you appropriate. More women who wear modestly are criticized because they looks older than what they really are due to their clothing style, this is not bad at all, they are following god orders, but what if we follow our dress code in Islam and in same time we look a bit better?.....ooh that will be just perfect isn't it? Let's talk about those "Hijabis" with tight clothes and "Full make up", seriously I will blame their parents and not them, the other day my husband and I we went to buy our Eid clothes and there I sow a woman wearing an abaya and khemar while her daughter was wearing the most tight jeans you can imagine showing her big ok not big but huge butt (I'm not kidding) and a tight blouse, with the first hijab style in this post, I was tempted to take a picture but the girl doesn't take his ayes off me, why I didn't know, I was wearing really normal and my converts, ...I'm very casual hehehe. So, this things makes you wonder why this mother let her daughter do that?,and is just an example of what is going on here, My husband every time talk about his college time, when girls aboard the train wearing hijab and when they arrive to the city, usually Alexandria and Cairo, they take it off, also prostitutes wearing niqab (WT....), all this happen without their parents know, but if you raise your kids with good basis in Islam and education then nothing of this would happen.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a> In the other hand the media is a huge influence in youth no doubt about it, I talk before about this magazine "Hijab Fashion", where they feature some times really ridiculous hijab styles others that doesn't cover you right, but all this if you know what wear a hijab means you will only take the good tips and use them in an appropriate hijab. The trick lays in chosen the right fabrics and colors for you. We are right now in summer then lets choose cotton fabrics also Chiffon is good option because those materials will let you "breath", also use a cotton under scarf which will help you to stabilize your hijab, stylise it, and is not to hot. about colors it depends on your skin color, here some tips about how to choose the right colors for you: Skin tone color matching, also known as color analysis, is the process of finding the makeup and clothes that most flatter your complexion. With this process people are divided into "seasons" based on their appearance. Skin, hair and eye color are all taken into account. So figure out what "season" you are and you'll know what colors will be more flattering. So, what category do you fall under? All skin tones can be categorized as either "cool" or "warm." If you have a cool skin tone then your skin will have pink or blue undertones and any visible veins will look blue. Platinum or silver looks better than gold on a cool skin tone. With a warm skin tone, a person will have yellow undertones and their veins will appear green. Gold is the metal of choice for warm skin. Once you figure out if you are warm or cool, then it is time to determine if you are "clear" or "muted." A person with clear skin will normally have a large contrast between their hair, skin and eyes. This skin will have a slight translucent quality to it. Muted skin will not have as much of a contrast. With muted skin you might see ash tones, and it will appear softer in color than that of a clear skin tone. Knowing if you are "warm" or "cool" and "clear" or "muted" will determine what season you are a part of. The first of the skin tone seasons we'll look at is winter. Winter skin is cool and clear. Think of very stark and dramatic skin. Asians and Africans often fall into this category. Caucasians with very pale skin and dark hair will fall into this category as well. Winters look best in true white, true black, cool grays, navy blue, deep reds, bright pinks, jewel tones (emerald, royal blue, royal purple), and icy pastels. Colors to avoid include beige, orange, gold, brown and other washed out shades. Winter skin tone will look faded and ashy in these colors. A summer skin tone is cool and muted. People with pale pinkish skin, ash Blondie or brown hair, and light eyes will fall under this category. A summer could also have a strong complexion that tans easily. Summers are mostly natural blondes. Summer skin tone has a low level of contrast between eye, hair and skin color. Pastels, neutrals, and muted colors look best. Lavender, rose, mauve, pale yellow, and light blue are a few examples of flattering muted colors for the summer skin tone. Colors to avoid include black and orange. Also, other intense, vivid colors will be too harsh and drown out a summer skin tone. An autumn skin tone is warm and muted. People with light golden skin, red or brown hair, and brown eyes will be considered autumns. An autumn might also have darker honey colored hair or golden blonde hair with blue eyes that have a gray or turquoise cast. These people will burn easily in the sun. Autumns look best in earth tones that are rich and muted. Think of colors you would see on autumn leaves and spices. Caramel, beige, burnt orange, gold, dark reds, olive, ivory, camel and rich brown look great on autumns. Cool shades should be avoided. They will give you a pale appearance. Pink is extremely unflattering. Clear, bright colors and black and white will make you look faded and should be avoided as well. A spring skin tone is warm and clear. Someone with light blonde, auburn, or strawberry blonde hair and clear light blue or green eyes will fall into this category most times. Springs have extremely light, ivory skin. Freckles and rosy cheeks are seen in springs as well. If you can't decide whether you are a spring or autumn, most times autumns have dark eyes while springs have pale eyes. Pale, soft colors look best on springs. Ivory, peach, true reds, clear blues, camel, light pink, coral, golden yellow, golden brown, aqua and bright greens are all flattering on a spring however. This skin tone does not go well with dark, dull colors. Black and white will also be too contrasting for a spring skin tone. Hopefully this will give you a hint as to what color looks best with your skin tone. Remember, these are just general guidelines. Sometimes a color that isn't supposed to look good on you does and you look fabulous. You need to use your own discretion here and ask a friend with good taste for their opinion. **Some colors works for all skin tones, use this examples to convine your hijab (1 or more) and under scarves:** <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514317058908850354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirVv6aJKKP2_sQwDQwUclpugjUCVzDOK8Mi-L3U2jyvquAn6ioYjFkaObXI2REuZNsU2ZhcrsC6yWVXQ1hKeLEdlhiruDdcskX5o0oF4pp1UaYVDI7KQsIZEUNkXbXytLgY8V1UbvgplY/s320/Egg+plant+color.jpg" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Egg Plant- Some colors work for all skin tones, because they fall into the middle of the color spectrum, meaning they're not too warm or too cool, Case in point: eggplant (Pantone 19-2311 TC). "the perfect purple" because it is extremely versatile, almost like a black, a dark brown, or a navy. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCl0qbO6ZO26TXZqMQbOa-KONZrwYWDGDpgsO89be5hO4DgOa3MsW5X4wwHYCN3xUSsV561M1bme8HwKe-b0YYrqRXoq-eVTViAPcUL-FcMoHwvvBhidnbmaEgs7SIaysWmvvyGcYdB2s/s1600/Teal+color.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCl0qbO6ZO26TXZqMQbOa-KONZrwYWDGDpgsO89be5hO4DgOa3MsW5X4wwHYCN3xUSsV561M1bme8HwKe-b0YYrqRXoq-eVTViAPcUL-FcMoHwvvBhidnbmaEgs7SIaysWmvvyGcYdB2s/s1600/Teal+color.jpg"></a> Indian Teal <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCl0qbO6ZO26TXZqMQbOa-KONZrwYWDGDpgsO89be5hO4DgOa3MsW5X4wwHYCN3xUSsV561M1bme8HwKe-b0YYrqRXoq-eVTViAPcUL-FcMoHwvvBhidnbmaEgs7SIaysWmvvyGcYdB2s/s1600/Teal+color.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514317055401914194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCl0qbO6ZO26TXZqMQbOa-KONZrwYWDGDpgsO89be5hO4DgOa3MsW5X4wwHYCN3xUSsV561M1bme8HwKe-b0YYrqRXoq-eVTViAPcUL-FcMoHwvvBhidnbmaEgs7SIaysWmvvyGcYdB2s/s320/Teal+color.jpg" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Colors on opposite sides of the color wheel enhance each other, which is why strawberries look so good packaged in green containers, the color-wheel opposite of pink-plays up a healthy flush in the skin.

Can Facebook survive growing discontent?

<div><div><div><div><div><div>By:Christian Science Monitor </div><div>Edited by: <a href="http://thepurplesharepoint.blogspot.com/">That's Me </a> It may be the world's most popular social networking site, but there are signs of a backlash among its millions of users A few weeks ago, the American Consumer Satisfaction Index ranked Facebook in the bottom five per cent of all privately held companies in the United States. </div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513923127553288034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_S6iX2S1NUeAg_W5KVb-Fc7QyBTHOH_B_0cb0w998Bx52QNd5DsXF-UCL61AOmoVAH8gj5JpG_My6CUXyfmlXOAiD0Y_fy_DtPB4K_VdXioUCulPOxQe1dgntkBRAd441GketvYzaJ8U/s400/Reasons-of-Facebook-Privacy-Concerns.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> By that measure, the most popular social network in the world is less liked by the average American than the property- and casualty-insurance industry, the companies that sell tax-filing software, the food manufacturing sector, and the makers of dog food. Larry Freed, the CEO of ForeSee, the analytics company that helped compile the ACSI results, called Facebook's performance "abysmal." "This is a rare scenario in the American economy; usually customer satisfaction is intertwined with market success," Freed wrote in a white paper that accompanied the index. He went on to identify the various reasons that consumers — the ACSI interviewed some 70,000 of them — were dissatisfied with Facebook. Among the most pressing concerns: shoddy navigation controls, mountains of spam, intrusive advertising, annoying applications, "the constant and unpredictable interface changes," the rejiggered news feed, and problematic security and privacy controls. "There is no shortage of complaints about Facebook," Freed concluded. The next morning, July 21, 2010, Facebook signed up its 500 millionth member. "This is an important milestone for all of you who have helped spread Facebook around the world," Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg trumpeted on the website. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513924939362391474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBjMkMPph4PoCVx57Mv6n58xuMbDTrHHovYSo6aT7rFeo2lM8KlW43vPUOBmLvdunP80dMIs1QmZP-3rp7efOLtFrh2U92EmJrIt54oXg2XFuXk2fuZCc1nlBtQIdmy_ro3nnMxzaqhDw/s400/Facebooks-500-million-infographics.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> The tracking firm Hitwise published data showing that Facebook had for at least one week in July replaced Google as the most-clicked website in the US. Facebook revealed that its users spend a total of 700 billion minutes on the site a month, and half of all Facebook members sign onto the site at least once a day. The obvious dichotomy at play here — between consumer dissatisfaction and staggering growth — has become the norm for Facebook, a site that as recently as 2006 was still struggling to compete with MySpace, the then-dominant social network. No longer. Between January 2009 and January of this year, Facebook nearly doubled its membership, leaving MySpace in the dust. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has predicted that Facebook will eventually hit the 1-billion-member mark worldwide, an unprecedented landmark for a social-media site. And yet in the past year, Facebook has been regularly forced to tamp down waves of user unrest — over redesigns and more pressing problems, such as privacy — often at the same time the site is posting extraordinary traffic and membership gains. This spring, for instance, a group of users organised a "Quit Facebook Day" event to lobby against changes to the security settings on the site. On May 31, more than 31,000 users reportedly deleted their Facebook profiles in protest. It was enough to grab some mainstream-media attention, but not enough to counteract Facebook's rate of expansion. According to the site Inside Facebook, membership grew that May by 7.8 million users — in the US alone. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513926758444086178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw-FJcJ7Vu5qEEaDHQuTooHFOZZw9S5yeWbav6TZEv5gMwJHnvFjeE033sLlsmuJpGGy_UPMM-xAlOizKp9DdF77hh2INfcZUNYr00gQkkpSUneaMdoqJp39VNHhunp3YY9-7w8aUiAU8/s400/quit+facebook+day.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /> The question now is whether Facebook can continue to stave off criticism. Dramatisation In October, Columbia Pictures is set to release The Social Network, a movie that dramatises early conflicts between Zuckerberg and his Facebook cofounders. ("You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies," reads the tag line.) The arrival of The Social Network has been heralded by some as bad news for Facebook, but it might be more aptly viewed as evidence of the centripetal force that Facebook now plays in American culture. After all, it's hard to imagine any studio trotting out a movie version of the founding of IMDb.com. "I definitely think Facebook is critic-proof," says Ben Mezrich, author of The Accidental Billionaires, which serves as the inspiration for The Social Network. "It's such a huge part of our lives, it's such a quickly growing company, that any critique falls flat. Unless [the Facebook staff] does something really phenomenally stupid, and I can't see for the life of me what that would be, a certain age group is going to keep using the site. That's the brilliance of Facebook." For the time being, the majority of media watchers are inclined to agree with Mezrich, if only because there is no social-media challenger currently robust enough to knock Facebook off its perch. MySpace has seen its traffic erode sharply over the past couple of years. Twitter is, well, too Twittery — it's treated by most users as a broadcasting service or an advertising platform, rather than a fully functioning network. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513928979125170706" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRrcZKoywoA5RHE2-Al6jA5rQjXKGSzvpHezlxwIP1mtHwKydixRLU5T2zlTXctxpilxQyQa_T3QktUKbydSexaHQ9llVKCp9qbDaWMYHDqCSKhgH8Ft8rFAOYjuvmW-erUxJHP1l8uvM/s400/Myspace-versus-facebook.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /> The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Google is developing a new social-media service, but the details are vague, and in the best-case scenario, it would be several years before Google could hope to rival Facebook's hold on the market. (Google launched Orkut in 2004, which never really gained traction in the US but grew very popular in Brazil and India.) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6XijlC9eCy6nXwFp5xjI3TmPideK5OFQJoWV7L6Md7lQbw0aTyV6ZMe6x4Dqk9JBxYc59Pdaz-c7goVVuMYx-JJHbL3bBoXdNPdC3xeJgDwBrrzpRHR9wEUt9xrfpyUIUF7UE6AxWwpU/s1600/orkut+logo.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513933322187494402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6XijlC9eCy6nXwFp5xjI3TmPideK5OFQJoWV7L6Md7lQbw0aTyV6ZMe6x4Dqk9JBxYc59Pdaz-c7goVVuMYx-JJHbL3bBoXdNPdC3xeJgDwBrrzpRHR9wEUt9xrfpyUIUF7UE6AxWwpU/s400/orkut+logo.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <div> "Facebook has been able to achieve scale in a way that no social network before it has done," says Adam Ostrow, editor in chief of the social-media blog Mashable. "In other words, most of your family, friends, and co-workers are already on there, making the cost of switching to something else — or turning it off entirely — way too high right now, at least if you want to be kept up to date." That hasn't stopped a handful of scrappy developers from trying to kick-start their own Facebook-killers. The highest profile of the bunch is the team behind Diaspora, which is being billed as "a privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all, open source social network." The site is expected to launch a pilot program in early September. On the Diaspora website, the network's founders, three 20-somethings and one 19-year-old who met at New York University, say that it is their "one and only goal to get Diaspora in the hands of every man, woman, and child at summer's end." It's an intentionally quixotic statement, of course. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513930429103881474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRho-tO20AeEY0uMqCa0nua2hEcGZFNyWFRq9GDM_MGWS78Urq4Agg_Erlh9SNmw8D73eZJCZgKZOEGkpTrihUePrznX8IQdvGjuxl61wfKWtyA6dniJ23yM_mKL8Gmh4h7LkcUSFch2c/s400/diaspora-facebook.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" /> But it does raise the question of what exactly it would take for millions of Facebook users to decamp for a different site. A giant security meltdown? A crippling computer virus? CEO gaffes In recent months, tech reporters have played up a series of gaffes and missteps from Zuckerberg, including an incident at the ‘D: All Things Digital' conference in June, where the Facebook CEO seemed to be thrown off-balance by a series of questions on user security. Several news outlets also reported that Zuckerberg has openly disparaged the intelligence of Facebook users and questioned whether Joe Facebook Member actually cares that much about his online privacy. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HuRHFj3tV-14TasQrXACB_SelIKM07Bha9q7lUx27mfeuc06SOe73MOIN4zMXBdCKnUM2sfYMvRcEbK_xV-A228eVotzLhigBK9JkHJXR-9P1HcB_7-x5mrN7zE-kRTFcJIdHviVKRA/s1600/Mark+Zuckerberg%27s+private+facebook+photos.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513932087873112002" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HuRHFj3tV-14TasQrXACB_SelIKM07Bha9q7lUx27mfeuc06SOe73MOIN4zMXBdCKnUM2sfYMvRcEbK_xV-A228eVotzLhigBK9JkHJXR-9P1HcB_7-x5mrN7zE-kRTFcJIdHviVKRA/s400/Mark+Zuckerberg%27s+private+facebook+photos.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 301px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> The image that has emerged of Zuckerberg in the press is of a shaky, sweaty executive, uncomfortable with tackling the thornier issues and insensitive toward the consumers that have made him one of the wealthiest men in the world. But Daniel Castro, a senior analyst at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, says that Silicon Valley gossip about Zuckerberg will ultimately have little impact on Facebook's bottom line. "I don't think the average user is thinking of [Zuckerberg]," Castro says. "They're thinking of themselves. And their friends." </div></div></div></div></div></div>

The Statue of Liberty was really inspired by the huge statues at Abu Simbel (Egypt). Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the statue designed the American Lady of Liberty as 'Egypt carrying the light of Asia'. However, the Khedive Ismail decided that the project was too expensive, so the 'Light of Asia' was sent to the US instead, where she became the Statue of Liberty. Lighting the Way to Asia All this from the imaginative scruffles of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the Alsatian-French sculptor who'd fallen in love with his own Orientalist fantasies about the Middle East after a trip to Egypt's Luxor spreads in 1855. He liked Egypt's colossal sculptures, those "granite beings of imperturpable majesty" with their eyes seemingly "fixed on the limitless future." He liked just as much the then-fashionable notions of Europeans thinking themselves the "Orient"'s best thing since unsliced baklava. Bartholdi returned to Egypt in 1869 with the blueprints for a toga-draped giant of a woman who'd double-up as a lighthouse at the entrance of the Suez Canal, which opened that year to fanfare and (British and French) stockholders' delight. The Suez Canal may have been in Egypt. But Egypt wasn't reaping its monetary benefits. The American Civil War had done wonders for Egyptian wealth thanks to the blockade of Southern cotton, which turned Egyptian cotton into gold. But the price of cotton crashed after the Civil War and so did Egypt's economy. Suez revenue could have picked up the slack. Instead, it went into the pockets of European investors (until Egypt's Gama Abdel Nasser nationalized the waterway in 1956, to the disingenuous fury of France and Britain). From Lady Egypt to Lady Liberty As Bartholdi was sketching one likeness of his great statue after another, it became apparent that his plan would never get Egypt's financing. Bartholdi was crushed. He sailed to New York. And there, as his ship was entering New York Harbor, he saw Bedloe's Island, deserted, oval-shaped, perfectly positioned to bear his creation. She wouldn't be Egypt. But she'd still be Barthold's. He worked out an arrangement with Gustav Eiffel to build the statue in 350 pieces in Paris, for the French government to pay for the statue (that was back when French and Americans had more respect than reproach for each other), and with American donors to pay for the 89-foot pedestal. Bartholdi's goal was to have the dedication coincide with the centennial of the American Revolution, somewhere around July 4, 1876. It happened a bit later, on Oct. 28, 1886, with a military, naval and civic parade in Manhattan, ending at the Battery at the tip of the island, with Gen. Charles P. Stone, who as the statue's American engineer, was essentially its midwife, was the parade's grand marshal. She was no longer an Egyptian woman. She was "Liberty Enlightening the World." <a href="http://middleeast.about.com/od/middleeast101/a/statue-of-liberty-egypt.htm">Read more...</a>
