E-Voting Survey

Dear All,

A friend of mine is doing his final year project in introducing e-voting in Bahrain.
In other words, using computer applications and the internet to vote.

So he made a survey to collect some info that would be very useful for his project. Its an easy survey in MS Word, all u need to do is tick on the box underneath the answer you choose.

After your done with the survey, i would apreciate it if you could save it, then email it to me.

Happy Together

Listen Here

Imagine me and you I do

I think about you day and night

It's only right

To think about the girl you love

And hold her tight

So happy together

If I should call you up invest a dime

And you say you belong to me

And ease my mind

Imagine how the world could be

So very fine

So happy together

I can see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life

When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue

For all my life

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice

It had to be

The only one for me is you

And you for me

So happy together

I can see me lovin' nobody but you

For all my life 

When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue 

For all my life 

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice 

It had to be

The only one for me is you

And you for me

So happy together 

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice 

It had to be

The only one for me is you

And you for me

So happy together 

So happy together 

How is the weather 

So happy together 

We're happy together 

So happy together 

Happy together 

So happy together 

So happy together 

Lily

Or the official name Calla Lily Terracotta

Which I do not know what it is exactly, but it sure looks nice.
Well, Mahmood is the expert, maybe he can enlighten us by giving some info on this beautiful flower.

The Story

I went to a supermarket last week to get some groceries, as I was walking through the ails, I came across a nice section of plants and flowers. I have always wanted to get a plant and have it in my room, to add natural look.

So I browsed the section, and came across this deal. Where you get the full luxury to plant from scratch. I was so excited about this that I had to get it, so I did.

Came back home, entered my room, and started planting. The procedure was very simple and straight forward. Hey, ofcourse it is, but bare in mind that the only time I did a similar project was in kindergarden where I had to bring a small plate, cottons, water, sugar, and small seeds or some sort. And the thing would grow in matter of days, which was cool. Anyways that was over 20 years ago.

Back to the future. I got my sister's digital camera (mine was stolen a week ago) and started shooting a step by step planting sequence of Lily (that's what i call her).

In this picture, i removed the cover surrounding the pot and inside there are the compost.

There is the normal dark moisten "sand" and shreaded wood (which i dont know what is it used for)

I opened the bag of "sand"

And gently throw it in the pot

Pic showing "sand" in pot

This is the seed, or rhizome. It should be placed 5cm deep, and "eyes" facing upwards

5cm deep, "eyes" facing upwards

I covered it with "sand" then I placed the shreaded wood on top (dont ask why)

Placed it infront of me close to the window, so it could get some sun, and a nice view.

hopefully, when it grows, it will look something like this.

If not its written on the cover that "We are happy to refund or replace any product which falls below the high standard you expect"

In other words, if it dies (god forbids) i can have another one :D

But i am taking a good care of Lily, she will grow and blossom nicely.

Thank You

Strike

Many universities across the United Kingdom announced a strike on the 7^th March 2006. The strike will be participated by academic staff demanding more pay. Because in the last 30 years, the pay has decreased dramatically, and it is getting worse.

What lead to the strike is since the top up fee was introduced by the government, the parliament promised that third of that fees will go to increase the salary of the staff. However that did not happen, so it is a promise that was not kept.

The staff will not be lecturing, and will not answer any student inquiry. Some say the strike will be for one day only, till a negotiation is held to meet the demands. Others say the strike will continue till the demand is met.

Now, this will greatly effect the students, that’s if the strike continues, and will effect the exams as well.

As for me, I just hope it goes all well, so I can graduate and return home. If you give a promise, you should keep it.
