Web 2.0 Project Reflection

The Web 2.0 project in MIS course was very useful. It contributed in building up and reinforcing my knowledge in the field of internet tools.  I could not only gain better theoretical information, but also practical one. That was accomplished through hard working and resorting to suitable different resources.

Blogs:- 

In Blogs I learnt to design a simple site where I could express what I want in a very practical way. In blogs I can see the others posts and share them their thoughts and information through following them being followed by them.  Blogs in Google was like spices to food in our MIS project. The characteristics of the blogs and the easy way they can be used in is another positive thing I like very much in Blogs.

Google sites:-

Creating websites on Google was a main thing which I have enjoyed learning in my project. It was  important because the other parts of this project depended on it heavily. Google site facilated designing the website for me with its available tools, but since the time was a crucial thing and I have many things to do in a short time, I wished I had more time to work more on it.

Google Chrome:-

Google Chrome is a powerful internet browser which is safer in using than other ones such as the Netscape and the Internet Explorer. It is much faster than others. One of its features I liked to some extent is the possibility of customizing it to contain things I use and I like much. When I started using it I liked it very much especially when I knew it features, but I am still learning more about it. It's nice.

Google Docs:-

A specialized tool for creating documents with the help of Google tool is available in the name of Google Docs. In this tool which is totally free, I could create a certain documents and share it with any group I want to discuss its content. I also have the ability of downloading this document from the site from anywhere in the world without the need to be at home or using my own computer. It is a wonderful tool for keeping documents. But of course I think that if I want to keep a very important document which contains secret information, I still prefer my own computer at home.

Google Calendar:-

Google Calendar is a free service tool for organizting and managing our appointments. It makes us be able to organize our tasks in a very useful way. We can schedual our works or holidays and other special occation in a very organized way. It is undoubtedly useful.

Bookmarking with (Delicious):-

My presentation was Delicious. I mean by Delicous the bookmarking site which I joined as a member and created an account in it. This site -as some other similar sites- eables you to organize your bookmarks or favourite sites in one place. It also let you follow or be followed by others who would like to share you in some of their interesting links. This software has facilities to manage these things by categorizing and keeping them in certain folders. It is a useful free tool specialized in keeping the interesting, useful and important links. Why not try it? It is delicious.

Facebook:-

Facebook is similar to twitter to a very large extent. Through the facebook I can communicate with others, share my photos or videos with friends and relatives. I can  even communicate with other people whom I don't know -where I have to be careful of course- to exchange general information and opinions. Instant chatting is also possible with this nice wideworld spread tool. I like it too.

Gmail:-

Another very useful and practical tool which comes from Google is the Gmail. It enables the members to receive and send messages or documents or files easily, securely and quickly. The other facilities which enable the member in Gmail to organize and manage the files and the folders are another positive aspect. In short it is advised strongly to have an account in Gmail to see and utilize it full features.

Twitter:-

Twitter is a tool for communicating with people. It let us send messages and receive them instantly. It let us search for certain things and get others' opinions efficiently. I like it since the time I started using it because it is practical and easy. It is useful in keeping in a touch  with people even they are unkown or far away. It is another tool for discussing certain ideas and getting feedback from others as well.

Google Picasa:-

Google Picasa is a program prepared by Google to deal with pictures and create movies. This is a good program to practice editing or adding or using pictures in many ways. Those who have artistic inclination like myself will find it an interesting way of practicing their hobbies and let their imagination fly free. Google Picasa also let you be able to manipulate and create movies as well. It is useful in this field.

Ferguson wary United will one day pay penalty

Reds beat West Ham 1-0 in FA Cup replay despite Rooney’s late missed spot-kick

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney scores against West Ham during their English FA Cup third round replay soccer match at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester, England, Wednesday Jan. 16, 2013. 

Manchester: Alex Ferguson called on his Manchester United side to improve their penalty-taking after Wayne Rooney missed their fifth spot-kick of the season on Wednesday.

United, the 11-times record-winners, did advance in this term’s FA Cup with a 1-0 third round replay against Premier League rivals West Ham at Old Trafford thanks to Rooney’s early first-half goal.

But the England striker wasted a chance to put the result beyond doubt when he blazed over a penalty 12 minutes from time.

That was Rooney’s second penalty miss of the season, with Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Nani also proving fallible from 12 yards out this term.

The Ten Study Habits of Successful Students

10 Ways to Develop yourself

Do you always look for ways to develop yourself? Successful people always seek to be distinguished in what they do and always look for ways to improve and develop themselves. Ask yourself, what is self-development? How can you develop yourself and your skills?

Self-development means that you should develop your thoughts, feelings, ideas, capabilities, and skills to achieve your goals. You have the capacity to enhance your self in many different ways if you put your mind to it.

Many people who plan to work on projects and specific skills, give up too early if they face obstacles and then they walk away without tangible outcomes. You have to organize your day every morning and decide what you are going to do for this day. Write what you intend to do on a piece of paper and make sure you know what you are going to do each hour.


 How to develop yourself

1. Be positive and take the lead.

2. Know exactly what your goal is.

3. Set your priorities.

4. Think of the common good for everyone involved.

5. Try to understand other people’s point of view

6. Think of creative ways constantly.

7. Plan for your life.

8. Develop your visualization skills.

9. Develop your will power

10. Learn to ask right questions.

Set your goals and start to work on them and if you face obstacles in your way, don’t get depressed, face your obstacles and go back to work on your goals. Never say, it is too late to achieve your goals. You have to be ready to confront all the negative situations and obstacles that you face.

Stay thinking in a positive way and resist every negative thought that comes your way. Challenge the impossible and never despair. Do not pay attention to people who criticize you in a negative way. Be confident in your abilities and in yourself. Never say, “I can’t do this.” Studies show that we only use about 10% of what we can do. You have hidden power that was not developed yet, so work on developing that power. Discover your mental power and always think creatively.

Iraq-UAE Gulf Cup Final A Boost For Local Coaches

Emirati coach Mahdi Ali on the cusp of glory

Iraq will take on the United Arab Emirates in the final of the 21st Gulf Cup on Friday after both sides, the only two of eight in the tournament to be coached by locals, advanced through the group stage undefeated.

The UAE netted eight and conceded two in their four-match run to the final, while Iraq, seeking a fourth Gulf Cup, were slightly more goal shy, scoring six but letting in just one.

The UAE under Mahdi Ali and Iraq under Hakeem Shaker have punched above their weight and cut down to size teams like defending champions Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, all of which had some famous international names as coaches.

Qatar, under Paulo Autuori of Brazil, and Oman, under Paul Le Guen of France, could only finish third and fourth respectively in Group 'A' to make a premature exit while Dutchman Frank Rijkaard's Saudi Arabia finished third in Group 'B'.

Kuwait, with Serbian Goran Tufegdzic at the helm, did manage to make the semi-finals by the skin of their teeth but were beaten by a young and energetic UAE in the semi-finals.

Yemen, who finished last in Group 'B', are coached by Tom Saintfiet while Argentine Gabriel Calderon is at the helm in Bahrain.

Two of those coaches have already lost their jobs, in keeping with a predictable trend in the region where coaches are well rewarded but their long term job security is not guaranteed.

Autuori was sacked on Tuesday while the Saudis waited a day longer before showing the door to Rijkaard, ending a deal reportedly worth $16-million signed in June 2011, with the aim of guiding the team to its fifth World Cup finals.
