Rich dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

                       "who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past" Robert Kiyosaki

I came across this book which striked me after reading few pages of it, i still do not know who is robert kyosaki but hurd he is a very rich man. From what i understood he had two dads one with poor mentality and the other with rich mentality both were highly educated. here is some highlights of what i read :


one dad would say, "The love of money is the root of all evil." The other, "The lack of money is the root of all evil."


For example, one dad had a habit of saying, "I can't afford it." The other dad forbade those words to be used. He insisted I say, "How can I afford it?" One is a statement, and the other is a question. One lets you off the hook, and the other forces you to think


Proper physical exercise increases your chances for health, and proper mental exercise increases your chances for wealth


One dad thought that the rich should pay more in taxes to take care of those less fortunate. The other said, "Taxes punish those who produce and reward those who don't produce."


One dad recommended, "Study hard so you can find a good company to work for." The other recommended, "Study hard so you can find a good company to buy."


One dad said, "The reason I'm not rich is because I have you kids." The other said, "The reason I must be rich is because I have you kids."


One encouraged talking about money and business at the dinner ,table. The other forbade the subject of money to be discussed over a meal.


One said, "When it comes to money, play it safe, don't take risks." The other said, "Learn to manage risk."


One believed, "Our home is our largest investment and our greatest asset." The other believed, "My house is a liability, and if your house is your largest investment, you're in trouble."

Both dads paid their bills on time, yet one paid his bills first while the other paid his bills last.


One dad taught me how to write an impressive resume so I could find a good job. The other taught me how to write strong business and financial plans so I could create jobs.


one dad said "I will never be rich" other said "I'm a rich man, and rich people don't do this." Even when he was flat broke after a major financial setback, he continued to refer to himself as a rich man. He would cover himself by saying, "There is a difference between being poor and being broke. - Broke is temporary, and poor is eternal."


My poor dad would also say, "I'm not interested in money," or "Money doesn't matter." My rich dad always said, "Money is power."


One wanted me to study hard, earn a degree and get a good job to work for money. He wanted me to study to become a professional, an attorney or an accountant or to go to business school for my MBA. The other encouraged me to study to be rich, to understand how money works and to learn how to have it work for me. "I don't work for money!" were words he would repeat over and over, "Money works for me!"

1 Hour of Uggdal

After going with wonderful Mila to the supermarket and Meeting a dutch woman who left rotterdam to live in tysnes island which does not even have half of the facilities which rotterdam has. The thought of asking her why you are here slipped of my mind, though I made a comment of she being bored of rotterdam that is why she ended here, she said yes true i lived there for 35 years then traveled around the world with my bf then ended buying a house here on top of the mountain.
 I Took a little walk alone in the village of uggdal in tysnes island. Saw beside the road a house which water was passing beside it getting split between big rocks, reforming it self to reach the sea, set and closed my eyes listened to the water which sounded like a waterfall , amazingly breathed the fresh air felt the energy from the trees, water and rocks in full appreciation to the Lord, watching my thoughts carefully noticed how some stream of thoughts are full of gratitude and others are full of anxiety, Useless thoughts , such sessions bring awareness to my presence in full notice of Satan/the negative thoughts, thoughts which are planted by others, and thoughts which are a reflection of some past issues. After 30mins, maybe more or less i don't know because I didn't have a watch or a phone, I walked along the road on my left hand there were houses facing the sea which is surrounded by big green mountains. Houses which had bouts parked in front of it on the sea water. So lovely and amazing looking at how people are blessed with such nature. The road was gradually going upwards so i walked and set on a rock which was high enough to see the houses and the sea. Watched carefully how the wind touched the sea made it look like silky cloth moving with the wind. The sky drizzled for a moment. So you may imagine how the sea was so beautiful having those tiny rain drops touching its surface forming an elegant art of peace and love. as if there were fishes underneath the surface dancing and celebrating.  The place were i set and had moment with myself and the lord there was 2 houses there. The people who lives in that house hears the sound of the water 24hrs. I imagined my self at that moment having such house, why not i'll do sooner or later ;). On the other hand, i realized that i did a mistake which comes to not having sport clothes. My travelling to Norway was mostly to get into the nature and that obviously requires comfortable sportive clothes but hah i forgot , wanted to look good to my love so i forgot that part. Anyways that's a lesson to take care of in the Next trip.

The Legend

Finally found that someone translated at least a book of Mustafa mahmood the genious thinker :D :D 

here is a link for his book A Dialogue With My Atheist Friend , I haven't read it yet but checked the table of contents ,which had hot highlights. I went through few lines in the book, the english translation isn't that perfect and not that bad. 
 
 Mustafa mahmood (25 December 1921 – 31 October 2009)
An Egyption Scientist who left the 3 Dimensional world at the age of 88 leaving behind a legacy of nearly 80 books.His writings are worth having a look at , so deep, analytic and awakening. Connecting science and spirituality zooming out and in. 


   He was working in the field of medicine then stopped that job in order to be a phsyconaut in search for the truth , left religion and got hated by the majority, because he had the guts to say it loud with no fear. After a long journey of travelling and research he produced to the world rich materials and thoughts. Expressing it through his books and through his TV show (Science and Faith) discussing different scientific, philosophical concepts.
Challenged the conventional thinking, inspired lots of people.
Eventually he returned to Islam, after tasting the different ideologies and thoughts. 

Some of his Videos (english subtitles included)
  • Liquid crysta
  • Why there are different religions 
  • Magnetism and Electricity
  • People who hear without Ears
  • Kissing my husband hand
  • the unseen and the unknown
  • A research in Human Behavior
  • The Magic Mask
  • Sorcery and Medicine
  • The greatest Secret
  • Faiths in Japan
  • Origin of Life
  • Migrating Birds
  • The universe
  • Miracle called the Will
  • The wonders of Human Brain
  • Dragon legacy

  • Quotes : from the book  Islam, What is it ?

    "Even if your name is muhammed or Ali or Othoman its not enough to be a muslim". 


    "The faithful should invite people to faith and it doesn't hurt him to hear from anybody neither if the other person is a disbeliever, he can be faithful in any system and any environment." P5


    "Faith is a state of heart, religion is a feeling and not a phenomenon. And the awakened can see even if the surroundings are blinds". 


    "Prayer is a result of what is in the heart. It significance relays in its ability to purify the heart and bring up the motivation and focus the thought and emotions". P7


    "Your body is your horse. You ride it,control it, tame it and guide it to your purpose not the opposite of which it uses you for its own purpose and drive you to its lust". P16
    "You are human only when you resist what you love and endure what you hate" P17


    "Fasting is but an exercise for riding the horse, taming it, customizing it for enduring the hunger and discomfort, and it is a lesson for discipline, morality and obedience". 


    "Zakaat (Charity) it isn't a degradation for the poor, isn't handout for a begger. It is a right extracted from the money of the wealthy giving it to the needy in the society with dignity and without even asking. Similar to taxes taken by the law and spent by the law." P21


    "Zakaat from its name it can be understood that it purify the person. Purify oneself from stinginess and avarice and selfishness, therefore the most benefited person is the giver".


    "Some say : God helped me so i gave what i gave to satisfy him, others says : i worked hard, spent and gave from my effort. The 1st see nothing but God and the other see nothing but himselfك that is why the latter ends up with depression. That is zakaat it's the spirit o
    intment (مرهما) , balm (بلسما) , freshener, healer and a cleanser for ones heart".P25

     

    "Worship is a result of knowing"

    This is what i could extract for the moment , perhaps i'll add more for other time.

BroadBand , PassBand ,BandPass , BaseBand & BandSTOP!

Salam alaikom,

Currently going through my favourite subject which is Computer networks ( networking engineering or telematics), actually preparing for a retake which will be held on thursday as last exam for the year! actually the one befor the last. the last is digital signal processing which is a story for another day.
 so i wanted to pass to you 4 definitions of terms which always played tricks on me.


BroadBand
It is a telecommunication technique used to determine the capasity of data transmission. It allow multiple channels to be used within one bandwidth of a medium (i.e coaxial cable). The best example of broadband is the Tv cable. The cable is broadband. Why? because the bandwidth of the cable can view more then one channel. So when you  are changing MTV to Peace Tv actually you are changel frequency to frequency. This method Tv cable method is called Frequency-Division-Multiplexing. Because the bandwidth is divided (multiplexed) to differenct channels\frequencies.  This method deals with analog signals only.
   BroadBand can be seen as a multiple of basebands.


BaseBand
It is a telecommunication technique used to determine the capasity (bandwidth) of data transmission. Over one bandwidth of the medium One communication happens. One types of information. i.e Only one phone call.
In low pass filters. the term is also used to describe the frequencies from zero to the Cut-off frequency. ( the frequencies which are passed).
  Ethernet (802.3) uses baseband because it is simpler.


BandPass
it is a filter which is a combination of low pass filter and high pass filter so it passes a bandwidth u set by setting the values of the components you use to make up the circuit . It can be constructed of LCR or RLC.

PassBand

Is the frequency passed through a bandpass filter. also can be caalled as BandPass signal.

Bandstop
It is a filter which rejects a range of frequency and passes others. It is also called Notch filter. Notch filter is used to remove the 50Hz. 50Hz in many cases us noise( unwanted signal) which is generated from the outlets or power supply.
That is simply what it is. You can dive deeper in it. Consider the above as a starter. At the moment of writing this article i was concerned about knowing the difference between Broadband(modulation) and badeband transmission because it is related the the PHYSICAL LAYER in the OSI module. because the physical layer is more concerned with the capacity of transmitting. Which makes for instance a fiber optic different from coaxial cable. Both are same as medium in term of propagating information.

cheers.

Optics and Ibn Al-Haitham ??

This article is missing the revolutionary contribution of Ibn Al-Haitham in optical engineering , as the case usually when it comes to the Islamic scientists contribution to the modern world. Which i don't understand why. keeping the mainstream ideas about islam as terrorists specialists and that's all.
i will add extra information once i am done with the exams , say next month .

Stereo ..... Frequency Levels

What is a stereo ? 
i came across this question when trying to understand the Radio data system and how it works on . while reading this (RDS operates by adding data to the baseband signal that is used to modulate the radio frequency carrier. The baseband signal consists of a number of components. Firstly there is the mono audio consisting of the left plus right (L+R) component that is transmitted at the normal audio frequencies up to 15 kHz. The stereo difference signal is then amplitude modulated as a double sideband suppressed carrier signal at 38 kHz).
ok . there are two kind of stereos

Audio stereo and Video stereo

both refers to a similar term

Audio stereo : stands for sound being dividied into two separate channels (speakers) for the aim to support the sound simultaneously in two speakers to also provide the chance to mix different sounds. the idea is inspired because a human has two ears trying to make it realistic as much as possible. such as in a movie when a car passes the audio is divided in a way to give a sound (Doppler) from an ear to ear as the car is realistically passing in front of the audience.

Video stereo : two saperate images of the same objects, being taken slightly different in order to simulate 3D view for human eye. there are many different ways to get to the 3d effect which i wont discuss here

here is a good illustration klik here
Frequency levels
there are three weeks ahead of me to end the third year of applied communication engineering , one year ahead of graduating and i still do not know under what frequency lies the low , high frequency!!!! but i do know that microwave(not the range but the one u use ate your house) is the most used frequency in the world 2.4 gigahertz

After having a short talk with Boumester (my teacher, i think i spelt it wrong :D) he recommended to take a look on RDS and SDR.
SDR software defined radio 
RDS radio data system 
I will lay it briefly to you

SDR :
replaced the hardware with software which is abvious from its name. through the MEM technology lots of chips became cheaper and available which made it replace alot of analog equipments , in this radio specifically a microchip will replace a
filter
mixer
IF amplifier or base band(any frequency from the lowest upto the cut-off frequency)
demodulator (in the receiver part to separate the signal from the carrier)
modulator (in the transmitter part to give the signal a carrier)

it uses lots of digital signal processing (the microchip does the mathematical operations)
In some application there will be after the antenna (in the receiver part) a bandpass filter and amplifier
an amplifier is used to amplify the nanowate and microwat received signals. and it is very know to any engineer or hobbyist that a homemade antenna (say a wire) can receive signals from unknown sources (spurious emissions) therefore the bandpass filter is used to get rid off such signals and pass the wanter bandwidth, without it the amplifier will amplify all the unwanted and wanted signals.

RDS :it is the tool which shows on the digital radio screens the basestation (1oo,  99.9) also can show the time and the name of the song.

I may include further information in the next days because this is all what i know for the moment , and i have to make a decision on which subject i may write a report on the system level.

for now i guess i will go for RDS because of the time constraints. (having exams in two weeks and not prepared at all :S) .

cheers

MATLAB digital signal processing

Matlab instruction

  • stem to plot diraac function
    example :
    in order to get z transform in symbols x t %same as syms x
syms
x=t;  
z=ztrans(x)

answer :

z =

z/(z - 1)^2 (from t domain to z domain)

then adding pretty(z) to print the symbolic output in a mathmatical forman

therefore :
k %if u write syms x it will give you the z transofrm of t thats why i am using syms k which also u can use syms z insteadz=ztrans(x) %answer z = (3*z*sin(4))/(z^2 - 2*cos(4)*z + 1) + (4*z*(z - cos(4)))/(z^2 - 2*cos(4)pretty(z) %answer :
     3 z
------------------- + -------------------
 2                       2
z - 2 cos(4) z + 1     z - 2 cos(4) z + 1
sin(4)           4 z (z - cos(4))

x= 3*sin(4*t) + 4*cos(4*t)
syms
