How to download from Google Books

Recently i found a new way for downloading from google books. In this method you do'nt ned to install any additional program. As you knew, the only way to download from google books is to install Google Book Downloader which is not always successful. The only thing you need in this method is Mozilla Firefox 3 or higher.

1- At first open the book page which you are going to download.

2- Right click on the page then press page info.

3- In the opened window click on the second tab''Media''. In this tab you will see a collection of media files in the page such as images, videos etc.

4- In the white area take down the scroll and select on the URL with image suffix.

5- Right click on the URL and press ''copy''.

6- Minimize the window and open new tab then paste the URL in the URL bar at the top of the page. Then press the ''Enter'' button, after a second you will see the page which you wanted. Left click and zoom on the page for better quality.

7- Now we are going to save the page. Right click on the page and press '' save target as''. Then select your directory and save the image.

After that go back to ''page info'' window and copy another image URL and do what you did for last photo. Please note that once you click on page info you can only save 2 or 3 pages then close the window and go ahead to 3 pages later and follow the steps from No. 2 2o the end.

I knew it may take long time but it is sometimes better than using Google Book Downloader.

Rising in consumers

This essay will describe that there are clear disadvantages as well as advantages to rise in consumerism. It will describe the possible adverse effects on the environment and different carriers and then go on to discuss how the consumer, the producer, and the economy could benefit.
Firstly, it is clear that an increase in consumption of food stuffs will lead to an increase in amount of packing needed, for example plastic and aluminum tin. Another strong argument is that increased consumption is certain to have more transport needed which is bad for planet because of the made pollution.
Secondly it is important to mention that it will make more jobs but in low paid areas, such as farming, packing, and sales.
Certainly that increased consumption will have some benefits. Firstly, it makes more choices and variety for customers. Secondly it will influence more money in local and national economy.
Finally, the result which could be get is to wait to find solutions for the negative points or replace another plan by this, because the negative points are stronger than positive ones.

Diet and health

Nowadays many people are on diet to keep healthy. Some of them think that somebody who is thin is healthy and try to make their selves thinner. They stop eating many things which are needed for the body like fats, proteins, vitamins etc. Most of them get sick and make many problems for themselves. Some people who are a few fat think they are unusual and sick, so they go to doctor and ask for a diet that can also lose weight very fast. As a result, the best diet included from all the proteins, vitamins, fats etc. But not too much and not a few and the reason of using diet must be to become healthy not to become thin.

The prevention of diseases

Prevention is better than treatment. By prevention of diseases we can improve our knowledge and also save money and make immune environment. Although, the medical science are developing very fast but it's better to prevent because treatment costs a lot and maybe need long process. As s result, the best way to improve health is to prevent, not to treat.

Comparing education system between Iran and England

By low in England, all children between 5 and 16 years of age must receive a full time education. In Iran, on the other hand, all children between 6 and 18 years of age must receive full time education.

The school years in England runs from September to July and is usually divided to two terms, whereas in Iran school year runs from September to June and is divided to two terms without any term’s break. In England students attend school from 9 am to 3 pm, whereas in Iran they attend school from 7:30 am to 12.15 pm. Both Iranian and English students go to primary school until they are 11. Both Iranian and English schools follow the national curriculum of their country. The main subjects in England are math, science plus others but there is a little different between Iranian main subjects in that they have Persian instead of English in primary school.

At the age of 11 English students go to secondary school till they are 16, whereas Iranian students go to Guidance school from 11 to 15. English students can choose to continue their studies up to two years then try for university. In Iran, on the other hand, students go to High school from age of 16 to 18 to get their Diploma then go to pre-university for a year. There are further exam at the age of 19 and good result in these are required to go to university.

please inform me if there is any wrong.

The Fasting of Ramadan: A Time for Thought, Action, and Change!

"Fasting in Ramadan develops in a person the real spirit of social belonging, of unity and brotherhood, and of equality before God. This spirit is the natural product of the fact that when people fast they feel that they are joining the whole Muslim society (which makes up more than one fifth of world's population) in observing the same duty, in the same manner, at the same time, for the same motives, and for the same end. No sociologist or historian can say that there has been at any period of history anything comparable to this powerful institution of Islam: Fasting in the month of Ramadan. People have been crying throughout the ages for acceptable 'belonging', for unity, for brotherhood, for equality, but how echoless their voices have been, and how very little success they have met..." says Hammudah Abdalati, in Islam in Focus.

"What is fasting?" "How does the fasting of Muslims in Ramadan differ from the fasting of other faiths?" "Why should one 'torture' one's body in the first place?" "What do you really gain from fasting in the end?"...These are a few questions that a number of non-Muslim friends and colleagues often ask us, usually out of fascination with this spiritually-uplifting practice of Islamic faith, and at times out of pity and sympathy for us, thinking, why should anyone suffer from hunger and thirst like Muslims? I wouldn't be surprised if many of us shared the same negative perception of Fasting.

It is important to note that Fasting in Arabic is called, "Sawm", which literally means 'to be at rest'. Fasting in the month of Ramadan (the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar) is one of the Five Pillars upon which the "house" of Islam is built. During this month, every able-bodied Muslim, is required to fast, everyday from dawn until dusk

12 Reasons To Fast!
1. Fasting is an institution for the improvement of moral and spiritual character of human being. The purpose of the fast is to help develop self-restraint, self-purification, God-consciousness, compassion, the spirit of caring and sharing, the love of humanity and the love of God. Fasting is a universal custom and is advocated by all the religions of the world, with more restrictions in some than in others. The Islamic Fast, as opposed to mere starvation or self-denial, is an act of worship and obedience to God, thanksgiving, forgiveness, spiritual training, and self-examination.

2. Ramadan gives us a break and provides us with a rare opportunity to think about our own selves, our future, and our families. It is a time to give our selves a mental break and to temporarily forget about the hundreds of worries and stresses we are constantly bombarded with. In hectic times, such as ours, and in places like the West, this valuable time to think about our lives, on individual basis, is a luxury and is desperately needed! It is a unique month of self-analysis, and of taking stock of one's moral and spiritual 'assets and liabilities'.

3. Fasting indoctrinates us in patience, unselfishness, and gratitude. When we fast we feel the pains of deprivation and hunger, and learn how to endure it patiently. The meaning of this powerful experience in a social and humanitarian context is that we are much quicker than anybody else in sympathizing with the oppressed and needy around the world, and responding to their needs. "It is the month to visit the poor, the sick, and the needy to share their sorrows. It is the month where the food, sustenance and the earnings of a believing Muslim increases and they are blessed," says the Final Prophet of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him), a man who was known for his noble humanitarian causes, for social justice, and for being the first to respond to other's needs, despite the fact that he himself lived a very simple and humble life. It is only during such a trying time as Ramadan that we can reflect on the condition of those in this world who may not be as fortunate as us.

4. Fasting in Ramadan enables us to master the art of mature adaptability and Time-Management. We can easily understand this point when we realize that fasting makes people change the entire course of their daily life. When they make the change, they naturally adapt themselves to a new system and schedule, and move along to satisfy the rules. This, in the long run, develops in them a wise sense of adaptability and self-created power to overcome the unpredictable hardships of life! A person who values constructive adaptability, time-management, and courage will appreciate the effects of Fasting in this respect as well.

5. It cultivates in us the principle of sincere Love, because when we observe Fasting, we do it out of deep love for God. And a person, who loves God, truly is a person who knows what love is and why everyone on this Earth should be loved and treated justly, for the sake of God.

President Obama's message to muslems about ramadan

Samy yusuf - You came to me, new single

Peace be with you all and Ramadan Kareem
, Finally, the Music video is released and I hope you all like it. The video was recorded in Denmark and directed by the talented Jacob Vitt. Personally, I feel this is one of my favorite videos due to the following: a) the quality - which is actually difficult to truly appreciate due to the compression on Youtube etc; b) The simplicity, elegance and grace it carries; c) the Western/European 'feel' about it - which I love - combined with the Islamic Calligraphy works so naturally and beautifully d) Less is More - as in effects are not 'blown out of proportion'. The Motion graphics (the 'magic') was done by one of the (if not The) best Motion Graphics companies in Denmark www.thankyou.dk They truly did an amazing job with this and went way out of their way and what was expected of them in insuring this project turned out special! They really managed to make the motion graphics look cool without it becoming 'cheesy'. I'm so pleased and honoured that one of the reasons they put so much heart/love in this project was because they really loved the song! Thank You thankyou :-) I'd like to thank the entire team for making this clip so beautiful and blessed. God Bless you all and Ramadan Karim Sami

My Genting Highland Trip

Hi everyone

it is exactly 8 pm, 20th of the August 2009. I came back from Genting Highlands 1 day ago and i am still exhausted. I and my family wanted to go with one of our neighbors, but he couldn't come. We went and saw on of our neighbors, unfortunately there wasn't anyone the same age as me, i thought it would be boring. Anyway, i had to stay with them and follow them anywhere they go.

Before you reach to Genting Area you had to use Sky way to pass the forests if you don't have car. We don't have so we used it. It was nice, while you are sitting in the Sky way you can see very beautiful scenery and take some photos. Did you know that it is the longest Sky way in the Asia, about 3.4 Km. See a photo.

Another interesting thing about Genting is that the world biggest hotel is located there. You know there are 6,000 rooms in First World Hotel. See it's photo.

The first game we did was Flying swing.Of course that it was the first game when you enter to outdoor games. you can see it's photo below.

After that we went to Boating area and stayed in the line for about 30 minutes you can see a picture below.

but this is not me.
was found on the internet.

It was about 12 o'clock and the time for lunch. They had booked a hotel and went for lunch but we already brought lunch and ate it outside. I ate lunch and went in line for Fun Kart,,, wow what a long line was it.... maybe there were 120 people,,,, i wait for about an hour...but it was the nicest game for me.... see the photo.

During i was waiting in the line, i realized that which is the best car. Number 8 and 4 were the best. My brother got No.8 and No.4 was beside it but he didn't see it. i sat on No. 13, but at the end my bro won me.

It was about 3 O'clock that suddenly the rain was started. In a second all the people disappeared. We also went inside a building. after about 10 minutes the rain stopped and i ran to the line of Space Shot. Wow it was foggy in the high and cold. See the photo....

The most interesting one which i like is Corkscrew. I was in the first group after rain. The manager gave us a reward and let us to do the game for second time. See the photo.

At the end see some photos, all about Genting Highland ....

Thanks for reading.

British Council- personal opinions

This is my personal opinion about British council.

I used to have 4 courses with British Council but not anymore. I’m going to continue it with them next year.

I think British council support its student with good facilities. It also use one of the best learning method which is they always let students to do anything they want to do, I mean the students must be more active than the teachers and I think this is the best method. In fact the main reason that they could get lots of students is that they wait until the students learn the subject. When you ask students about the British council, the first thing they tell you is about the teachers. They all say that the teachers are experienced and qualified. Second thing they mention is that there are many students from many countries and we can have more international friends and also learn about their cultures. Always at the end day of each term the students who don’t continue to next term are sad because of their friends who they missed, that’s why if you come to hall at the end of last Friday you will see lots of smiles and camera’s flash. I really missed my friend and know I’m planning to keep in touch with them, if I be a good friend. I myself actually found many friends from different countries such as Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Arabic Countries, etc. I found many new friends with different personalities but actually all of them are friendly.

At last i want to tell you that british council is a good choice.

waiting for your comments
