الايتام في الأردن - Orphans Situation in Jordan

 مشكلة الايتام في مجتمعنا الأردني مشكلة قديمة لاتزال الى يومنا هذا تحمل في طياتها الكثير من البؤس و الشقاء، أشارككم بهذا الفيلم الوثائقي اللذي يظهر جوانب من حقيقة المعاناة لبعض من اخواننا الأردنين اللذي ليس لهم ذنب سوى أنهم ولدو في مجتع تحكمه العشيرة، و تجربتهم في بيوت الأيتام المليئة بالأهمال والإساءات الجنسية، و سر الرقم الوطني "000" اللذي يشير الى الإخوان مجهولي النسب.

ID:000 is an 18 minute short film about graduate orphans in Amman. The film draws its name from the national security code given those with no family in Jordan, in a society where the family is the central social unit, and family name an intrinsic element of identity -- as well as authority, power and honor

ID000 won first place in the Franco-Arab Film Festival. The film was put together by SAE students (Widad Shafago, David Deir and Yazan Hazeem). They chose their theme wisely and executed with verve.

We would like to thank Sakeena for providing us with the opportunity to learn about the situation of orphans in Jordan. As Sakeena's motto says, "Orphans complete the family." Sakeena's vision is to empower all orphans to enjoy life as an equal member of society. For more information, please see their facebook page: sakeenaorphans

Windows 8 Preview


Microsoft just released a win 8 demo video, looks pretty amazing to me, basically its a touch oriented OS yet has all the features from the older windows formats, older PC's users shouldn't worry because this new OS is also keyboard/mouse capable, and it seems the software term is officially going to be replaced with the word "APPS".
The eye opener in this demo is that there is only ONE WINDOWS, could it be ?? no more different versions with different prices and sacrificed features?? that's a smart move by Microsoft !!
For a while i thought Microsoft is going down and was waiting for Apple or Google to go in for the kill, but this new baby may keep the life support system plugged in for a while longer ...

Future looks bright !!!

Sanctum :: Movie Review

Director: Alister Grierson
Writers: John Garvin, Andrew Wight
Stars: Rhys Wakefield, Allison Cratchley and Christopher Baker
My rating: 6/10 "watchable but not so enjoyable"



James Cameron disappoints on this one, Although of the breathtaking scenery, the adventurous caving/Diving ventures, but ..... I don't know, the plot seems to be a solid one, yet there is a lot of over melodramatic scenes that make hardly any sense at all, the script is laughable, the situations although interests any adventurer, are not realistically constructed, and as for the 3d ..... just 1 scene at the beginning of the movie then its stupid to  keep the 3d lenses on, actually i feel it ruined the rest of the movie experience.

Bottom line, if your an adventure buff who enjoys cave sceneries,  and loves to take notes on what to do in life challenging moments, this is a movie to be watched, otherwise flush the DVD, and go rent the Abyss ...

thanks for reading

Samsung Galaxy S 2 :::: I Phone 4 Killer??


Samsung announced the Galaxy S2 early on February and now its released in most major outlets, I have to say this looks like a great addition to the smart phone world and defiantly a sexy looking  peace of tech.
One major upgrade from The Galaxy S would be the Processor, the Galaxy S II has a 1.2 GHz dual core ARM Cortex-A9 processor depending on either one of two SoCs, not to mention the 1 GB of dedicated RAM, this baby has it all.

already this dives will give I Phone a hard time in the Asian market specifically
