My reaction about the movie Blood Diamond

The movie blood diamond is a very interesting movie. It opened my eyes to new and different conflicts that happened in the world. I didn’t know that there is a kind of diamonds that called blood diamonds or conflict diamonds and this kind of diamonds were found by labour who were forced to mine for them. The film talks about a small family in a small village and one day the head of this family was separated from his family to work as a slave in the diamond fields. One day this guy found a large diamond. After that he tried to hide the diamond. Suddenly these fields were attacked by the government. But that guy survived and he was taken to the prison. After he got out from jail he went to look for his family. Later on he met a person called Archer he trades weapons with diamonds. Archer promised Solomon that he will help him to find his family if he told him where he hid the diamond. They started their journey and they met Bowen she was working as a reporter. Bowen wanted to help Solomon to find his family and she knew that Archer was using Solomon to get away from Africa. She refused to help Archer unless he can tell her about diamond market. Archer agreed to give Bowen the information then they flew to the place of the diamond. After they found the diamond, Archer was shot in his stomach and before he died and gave Solomon the diamond and told him to call Bowen as soon as he arrives. Then Solomon sold the diamond for a big amount of money and Bowen was taking pictures while Solomon was making the deal. Then the pictures were published in magazines under the title “Blood diamonds”.

Lebanon is in the center of the Middle East and its capital city called Beirut which has two nicknames “The land of milk and honey” in the bible and the other one is “Paris of the East”. There are many religions in Lebanon but what makes it unique in the Middle East is that Lebanon has almost an equal number of Muslims and Christians. Lebanon is considered a young nation because the majority of its population are less than 25 years old.


In the past there were many problems in Lebanon it went through a lot of problems. In 1943 tensions have increased between Muslims and Christians because Muslims had nothing to do with the balance of power. These tensions reached their peak in 1975 after a bus attack by a Christian group called the Phalange and the victims were Palestinians. After that a revenge killings have issued as a result of the tension. In 1982 Lebanon was invaded by the Israeli army to remove the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. Few years later a peace deal was reached between Lebanese leaders to offer an equal balance between Muslims and Christians. About a quarter of the population in Lebanon left the country because of these tensions.


Nowadays Lebanon is trying to recover its economy by turning Beirut into a global financial center like New York and inviting foreigners to invest in the re-building of Lebanon. Also there money is pouring in form businessmen in Gulf States like UAE. Lebanon is well-known for its nightlife because it has amazing bars and clubs where young people get crowded there.

My profile

My name is Jaber AlMubarak. I was born 19 years ago in Al Cornish hospital which is in Abu Dhabi. My father was in Europe because he had a meeting there and as soon as he finished his work there he came to see me. My father wanted to name me Ahmed but my uncle Yousif chose Jaber to be my name. I didn’t see my grand parents because they died 2 years before I was born. I have two brothers and 3 sisters and I’m the youngest of my brothers. My family was living in a villa in Al Bateen. I grew up there with my cousins then we moved to live in Al Mushref. I went to a school called Al Ghazaly I studied there 7 years then I continued studying in Jordan because my father was working in the United Arab Emirates Embassy there.



I lived my life as a teenager away from my cousins and my relatives and that’s why mine is different from them. I spent about one year making new friends and it took a lot from me to find good ones. When I was a teenager I really liked pets. I used to have a small cat and a parrot. I trained them well but one day I forgot to close the window of the living room and I woke up the next day and I found out that the parrot flew away. I looked for it everywhere but I didn’t find it. Living in Jordan was a good experience for me because I made lots of friends there and I lived in a different environment which may help me in the future.

I have traveled to Paris, London, Geneva, Washington DC, New York and Lebanon. My favorite trip was when I went to London and that was the last summer. I went there with my cousin and we stayed in my uncle’s apartment. In the first week we visited many wonderful places like the wax museum, natural museum, London eye, London Bridge and Big Ben. In the second week we went to watch football matches. Some times I fought with my cousin because he likes Liver Pool and I like Manchester United. We spent our last two weeks eating in luxury restaurants in Harrods and Nights- Bridge.



In my free time I love to play football but sometimes there aren’t enough players so I’m forced to go to the gym to spend my free time. If I had the chance I would really love to go to Ski Dubai. I usually go to the cinema on weekends with my friends. I saw lots of movies but the one I like the most is Ocean’s 13. In summer, I like going jet skiing with my friends each one of us has one. We usually race when we go jet skiing but mine is most powerful between them.


Two years ago before I graduated from high school, I had a big dream of studying for my higher diploma abroad. My target was developing myself and my understanding to other cultures to help my country in the future. I set it as a target to be realized. I used to be a good student who solved his homework and prepared for the classes. I worked hard during the last year of my high school to get high grades. Nevertheless, during the preparation of final exams, my cousin’s death prevented me from studying for the exams. He died in a car accident while he was driving back home from Al Ain. I studied only the day before the exam which was too difficult for me to memorize all the materials that we covered during the year. So, I got very low percentage and that’s why my father didn’t let me travel. I tried to explain the reason but he said I’ll let you go if you got a high GPA in the college.

At the current time I have finished the first semester of the common year in ADMC. I’m planning to study Finance and Accounting and as soon as I graduate I’ll travel to get a bachelor and a master degree in the same major. I chose this major because I’m good in Maths and that will help me to get high grades. There are only few locals who work in the Finance department and this major is required. If I had the chance I will take the CFA to be more qualified to fit in a good job.

Firefox3

Search is the number one activity for people who use internet. That’s why Mozilla has created a new internet browser called Firefox3. It has many features that may help any user to search for something.

The most important feature is that Firefox3 browser allows you to work offline so you don’t lose your work while traveling or when the connection goes down. The chairman of Mozilla said that it’s easier to look for information using Firefox3. Also he said that when you want to search for something you can write for example “ sunglasses “ it will bring a list of sites that you have visited recently that have sunglasses name. There are changes have been made to improve overall performance. It’s simple and familiar and that what makes it the second most popular.



My opinion:

I think this article is interesting, well organized and easy to read. But the author didn’t talk about the internet filter and if it has protection against viruses.

Diamonds

Diamonds are the most expensive stones in the world. They are made from carbon after it faces extreme pressure and high temperatures. Diamonds are pushed to the surface with a substance called Magma. After that it’s exposed on the surface with small but violent eruptions from a Kimberlite pipe.

The number one city that produces most of the world’s diamonds is Botswana which is located in South Africa. Dee Beers Consolidated Mines is the biggest diamond mining company and it mines most of its diamonds from South Africa and this company has about 60% of the world’s rough diamonds trade. In the early 20th century Dee Beers Company kept the price of diamonds high by restricting the amount of diamonds on the market. Another city that has about 80% of the worlds rough diamonds pass through it is Antwerp which has been a diamond center for 600 years, Indians and Lebanese are associated with the diamond trade in this city. But, 1500 polishers and cutters left in the city today. Dubai is one of the cities that have a growing reputation as a diamond hub.
