Steve Jobs real name actually is Steven Paul Jobs. He was born on February 24, 1995, to Joanne simpson and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave their unamed son up for adoption. His father, Abdulfattah Jandali, was a Syirian political science professor and his mother, Joanne Simpson, worked as a speech therapist. Shortly after Steve was placed for adoption, his biological parents married and had another child, Mona Simpson. It was not until Jobs was 27 that he was able to uncover information on his biological parents.

As an infant, Steven was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul Jobs. Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was a Coast Guard veteran and machinist. The family lived in Mountain View within California's Silicon Valley. As a boy, Jobs and his father would work on electronics in the family garage. Paul would show his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, a hobby which instilled confidence, tenacity and mechanical prowess in young Jobs.

While Jobs has always been intelligent and innovative thinker, his youth was riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. in elementary school he was a prankster whose fourth grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school was decline by his parents.

After he did enroll in high school, Jobs spent his free time at Hewlett-Packard. It was there that he befriended computer club guru Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a brilliant computer engineer and the two developed great respect for one another.

eckhart tolle

Eckhart Tolle is a German-born teacher on spiritual enlightenment and a best-selling author. His religion is not identified, but he familiar using teachings from Zen Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism and the Bible. He graduated from Universities of London and did research Cambridge . As a young man, he moved from Spain to Britain,

Over the time, he became well knowN as a spiritual teacher, building a following that began with small group and individuals as a counsellor and spiritual teacher in London and then spread worldwide. Since 1995 and today, he has lived in Vancouver, Canada, British Columbia with his partner, Kim Eng.

In 1999, he published "The Power of Now," which described  belief system based on living in the present moment and not dwelling on the past or obsessing about the future. This philosophy calls for overcoming the "pain body": the destructive dominance of the mind and ego over the body. Mr. Tolle's book was a best seller, translated into 33 languages and touted by admires ranging from Oprah Winfrey, who called "The Power of Now" one of her favourite books to the actors Meg Ryan and Jim Carrey.

At the core of his teachings lies the transformation of conciousness- a spiritual awakening that he sees as the nest step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists of transcending our ego-based state of conciousness. This, he says, is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on the earth.

JEWS ASHKENAZI INTELECTUAL

what is really interesting to talk about Jews Ashkenazi is their average ingenuity that proven higher than other races. From a research that has been through, the IQ score among Jews Ashkenazi is around 107 to 115 rather than European that recorded at median average which is IQ score at 100. This is the highest record among every races. Meanwhile, the lower score recorded from black people, African which only reached average 70 scores. Many researches have done and the results seems similar as before.

Seymour Martin Lipset is a sociologist. In his book, Jews and the New American Scene, written:

"During the last three decades, Jews have made up 50 percent of the top two hundred intellectuals, 40 percent of American Nobel Prize Winners in science and economics, 20 percent of professor at the leading universities, 21 percent of high level civil servants, 40 percent partners in the leading law firms in New York and Washington, 26 percent of the reporters, editors and executives of the major print and broadcast media, 59 percent of the directors, writers & producers of the fifty top-grossing motion pictures from 1965 to 1982, and 58 percent of directors, writers and producers in two or more prime television series."

More than half world chess champion consist of Jews Ashkenazi. Chess is a strategy game that requires deeper mind thinking. Based on The Rating of Chess Players, Past and Present book that published in 1978, by professor Apard Elo had listed 476 popular gamers that participated in chess tournaments from 19 century. First 50 percent from 51 gamers are Jews. While, in Warriors of the Mind: A Quest for the Supreme Genius of the Chess Board book stated by Raymond Keene and professor Nathan Divinsky is about the most reliable world chess gamers consist 45 percent from 64 gamers are Jews. Whilst, Bobby Fischer in a book Chess Life, listed 5 the strongest world chess champion and 3 from them are Jews.

Besides that, many well-known scientist are from Jews Ashkenazi. For instance, Albert Einstein that famous with theory of relative time and psychology Sigmund Freud with his ideas of psychoanalyst. Einstein won a Nobel prize in physic field in year 1921 is a genius humankind that can solved technical and scientific problems through observation  with all save in his brain in along periods. His ability to figure out the technical problems then move to visual image shape into mathematics and physic formula is really amazing and it is rarely done by public and also scientist.

THE BIRTH OF ISRAEL

At the end of World War II, the conflict over Palestine gained momentum. As early as 1942, the Yishuv (Jewish community in Palestine) had turned to the United States for support of the Jewish state in Palestine.
On November 29, 1947, by 133-13 majority, the United Nations voted that, beginning on May 15, 1948, if Yishuv agreed, there would be two independent states in Palestine and the British mandate would end.

At last, the move of Jews from Europe to Palestine starts from Europe's helps and come from the funding contribution by the Jews all over the world. Chaim Azriel Weizmann is one of the huge figure of Zionist that earnest to build Jews country is a president of the Zionist world  and the first president of Israel country.

A state cannot be created by decree, but by the forces of a people and in the course of generations. Even if all the governments of the world gave us a country, it would only be a gift of words. But if the Jewish people will go build Palestine, the Jewish State will become a reality—a fact. 

-Chaim Azriel Weizmann.

On 14 May 1948 is a historical event when the Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion officially declared the organization the country name Israel which is around the Arab countries. In the beginning, all countries around Israel are foes. In order to strengthen the position of Jews in illicit country of Israel. Zionist have implemented a process of cleaning the Arab Palestine ethnics, by demolish their house and replace with new housing of Jewish. The discrimination in term of politics, economy and social aspects among the Arab community live over there. In fact, they freely gives the citizenship to every Jewish all around the world as an Israel citizen.

THE THOUGHT OF A 'LEADER'

" But today the Jews rule this world by proxy. they get other to fight and die for them."
-Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed.


 As we can see United states is a big power in the economy worldwide. Unfortunately, there has a power who did controls the economy and politician. It is Jews rules United States behind the scene. Jews make used United States politicians as a proxy for them to controls the world developments.

Almost all United States's politician fight in order to stand out to save Israel. Their soldiers need to sent to battlefield to fight and die for the sake of Israel safeness. Even them do not know why they are sent to the place. This is not an absurd talks from the thought of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed, but is is reality.

This speech has been given on 16 Oct 2003 during the conference of Organization of Islamic Country (OIC) at Putrajaya.

Tun also touched on the long history of Jews on how they stand and become a world power.

"They survived 2,000 years of programs not by hitting back, but by thinking. They invented and successfully promoted Socialism, Communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong, so they may enjoy equal rights with others. with these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries and they, this tiny community, have become a world power."

-Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed.

2,000 in periods, Jews have serve as immigrants all over Europe, Africa, and Asia. This is really tough and challenging for them. However, this community affordable to go through all the nature tests because they are genius. Socialism, Communism, human rights and democracy are the ideologies that they have created as a weapon  to avoid themselves from oppression.

the ideologies are full with the positive side that people easily accept it. The acceptance of the ideologies make them powerful and successful dominate many of Europe countries. Today, they are very well- known for their power to control United States and the genuine power that control the world.

iPad

Apple released the first iPad in April 2010, and sold 3 million in only 80 days. During 2010, Apple sold 14.8 million iPads worlwide, representing 75% of tablets PC sales at the end of 2010. iPad is a line of tablet computers designed, developed and marketed by Apple. The iPad was announced on January 27,2010, by Steve Jobs at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for th Arts in San Francisco.  iPad primarily as a platform for audio-visual media including books, periodicals, movies, music, games, applications and web content. Its size and weight fall between those of contemporary Smartphones an laptop computers. The iPad runs in iOS operating system, that same used by Apples's product such as iPod Touch and iPhone and can run its own application as well as iPhone applications. The iPad is controlled by a multitouch display- a departure from most previous tablet computer, which used a pressure- triggered stylus- as well as a virtual onscreen keyboard in lieu of a physical keyboard . The iPad uses a Wi-Fi connection to access local area network and also the internet.

BEFORE THE iPad's LAUNCH
Apple re-entered the mobile- computing markets in 2007 with the iPhone. Smaller than iPad but featuring a camera and mobile phone, it pioneered the multitouch finger-sensitive touchscreen interface of Apple's iOS mobile operating system. By late 2009, the iPad's release had been rumored for several years. Such speculation mostly talked about "Apple's tablet", specific names included iTablet and iSlate. The actual name is reportedly a homage to the Star Trek PADD, a fictional device very similar in appearance to the iPad. Jobs later said that Apple began developing the iPad before the iPhone, but temporarily shelved the effort upon realizing that its ideas would work just as well in a mobile phone. The iPad's internal codename was K48, which was revealed in the court case surrounding leaking of iPad information before launch.

SUPER-MAN

SUPERMAN

Bertrand Arthur William Russell was born at Trelleck on 18th May, 1872. His parents were Viscount Amberley and Katherine, daughter of 2nd Baron Stanley of Alderley. At the age of three he was left an orphan. His father had wished him to be brought up as an agnostic; to avoid this he was made a ward of Court, and brought up by his grandmother. Instead of being sent to school he was taught by governesses and tutors, and thus acquired a perfect knowledge of French and German. In 1890 he went into residence at Trinity College, Cambridge, and after being a very high Wrangler and obtaining a First Class with distinction in philosophy he was elected a fellow of his college in 1895. But he had already left Cambridge in the summer of 1894 and for some months was attache at the British embassy at Paris.

In December 1894 he married Miss Alys Pearsall Smith. After spending some months in Berlin studying social democracy, they went to live near Haslemere, where he devoted his time to the study of philosophy. In 1900 he visited the Mathematical Congress at Paris. He was impressed with the ability of the Italian mathematician Peano and his pupils, and immediately studied Peano's works. In 1903 he wrote his first important book,The Principles of Mathematics, and with his friend Dr. Alfred Whitehead proceeded to develop and extend the mathematical logic of Peano and Frege. From time to time he abandoned philosophy for politics. In 1910 he was appointed lecturer at Trinity College. After the first World War broke out, he took an active part in the No Conscription fellowship and was fined £ 100 as the author of a leaflet criticizing a sentence of two years on a conscientious objector. His college deprived him of his lectureship in 1916. He was offered a post at Harvard university, but was refused a passport. He intended to give a course of lectures (afterwards published in America as Political Ideals, 1918) but was prevented by the military authorities. In 1918 he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for a pacifistic article he had written in the Tribunal. His Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy (1919) was written in prison. His Analysis of Mind(1921) was the outcome of some lectures he gave in London, which were organized by a few friends who got up a subscription for the purpose.

In 1920 Russell had paid a short visit to Russia to study the conditions of Bolshevism on the spot. In the autumn of the same year he went to China to lecture on philosophy at the Peking university. On his return in Sept. 1921, having been divorced by his first wife, he married Miss Dora Black. They lived for six years in Chelsea during the winter months and spent the summers near Lands End. In 1927 he and his wife started a school for young children, which they carried on until 1932. He succeeded to the earldom in 1931. He was divorced by his second wife in 1935 and the following year married Patricia Helen Spence. In 1938 he went to the United States and during the next years taught at many of the country's leading universities. In 1940 he was involved in legal proceedings when his right to teach philosophy at the College of the City of New York was questioned because of his views on morality. When his appointment to the college faculty was cancelled, he accepted a five-year contract as a lecturer for the Barnes foundation, Merion, Pa., but the cancellation of this contract was announced in Jan. 1943 by Albert C. Barnes, director of the foundation.

Russell was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1908, and re-elected a fellow of Trinity College in 1944. He was awarded the Sylvester medal of the Royal Society, 1934, the de Morgan medal of the London Mathematical Society in the same year, the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1950.

In a paper "Logical Atomism" (Contemporary British Philosophy. Personal Statements, First series. Lond. 1924) Russell exposed his views on his philosophy, preceded by a few words on historical development.

From what I had read about what did Bertrand Russell past experiences, it seems Bertrand is a person with full of bitter experiences and he did had many experiences in order to pursue his dream. From his experiences I can say that he is a valuable person and a man with courage. He also have a good confident level in pursue his goal to learn philosophy and others. He also a smart student since, then. His life full of knowledge. He traveled a lot to learns something new to him and also to gain and do revise about what he already knew. He succeeded is all come from his scarification. That so, he really deserve when he was awarded the Sylvester medal of the Royal Society in 1934 and many awards follow him after that. 

MALAYSIAN TYCOON

TAN SRI VINCENT TAN

Let's share Malaysian tycoon story. On Saturday, 4 February 2012 I bought The Star and I found something attracts my attention to read more on that article which is publish on Starbizweek session. The headline is Tan: How I made money from Facebook and followed by the caption, Tycoon stands to pocket RM420 million after IPO. This article is written by Jagdev Singh Sidhu. It is telling us the truth story about Tan Sri Vincent Tan, "the man who does not have a Facebook account" and yes, he got shares in Facebook. Amazing, right?

Speaking to Starbizweek, Tan claimed how he came about getting his hand on a tiny but valuable stake in Facebook. MOL Global Bhd, which is controlled by Tan early in 2008, make a big hit through headlines when it bought 100 per cent of Friendster, the world's first social networking site, for US$38mil. Actually, the owner of Friendster offered US$40mil and decide to make a quick sale. Many people were looking into this, including  large firm from China and Japan, at Friendster. MOL makes a quick action within two days for the due diligence and made a bid. He said, "since Friendster owed people US$2mil, him offered US$38mil to Friendster and if they accepted, they will do the deal right away. And they accepted the proposal. By 2010, MOL sold Friendster's patents to Facebook, and MOL received 700,000 shares as part of the deal, which have since turned into 3.5 million shares by mid-2011.

The story starts when Tan knew that Facebook desperate Friendster's patents , it's been a while. His give full attention to facebook, which remained interested in Friendster's patents and whoose  offer of US$20mil cash for the technology rights was still on the table. He accepted their price but he wanted shares. Facebook officials told him that Zuckerberg, did not want to dilute the shares in the company but Tan stood firm and said "if there was NO shares, FORGET IT."

Finally, Zuckerberg agreed to a share exchanges for the patents and Tan got his 700,000 shares. His shares have grown 3.5 million following a 5-for-1 split in Facebook's shares before the IPO process. Tan did not leave Friendster to languish but devised a plan to get the social networking website to breakeven point. 

INVESTOR, INVESTMENT & INVENTED.

Thiel make his first investment $500,000 into Facebook. Peter is Clarium Capital 's President and the Chairman of the firm's investment committee, which oversees the firm research, investment, and trading strategies. Before starting Clarium, Peter served as Chairman and CEO of PayPal,an Internet company he co-founded in December 1998 and was acquired by eBay for $ 1.5 billion in October 2002. That's some info about Peter Thiel. Now, continue with Facebook's investor.

Co-founder of PayPal, Peter Thiel

With millions more users, Friendster attempted to acquire the company for $10 million in mid 2004. Facebook turned down the offer and subsequently received $12.7 million in funding from Accel Partners, at a valuation of around $100 million. Facebook continued to grow, opening up to high school students in September 2005 and adding an immensely popular photo sharing feature next month. The next spring, facebook received $25 million in funding from Greylock Partners and Meritech Capital, as well as previous investor Accel Partners and Peter Thiel. The pre-money valuation for this deal was about $525 million. Facebook subsequently opened up to work networks, eventually amassing over 20,000 work networks. Finally i September 2006, Facebook opened to anyone with an email address.

In the summer of 2006, Yahoo attempted to acquire the company for $1 billion dollars. Reports actually indicated that Zuckerberg made a verbal agreement to sell Facebook to Yahoo. A few days later when Yahoo's stock price took a dive, the offer was lowered to $800 million and Zuckerberg walked away from the deal. Yahoo later offered $1 billion again, this time Zuckerberg turned Yahoo down and earned instant notoriety as the "kid" who turned down a billion. This was not the first time for Zuckerberg. Viacom had previously unsuccessfully attempted to acquire the company $750 million in March, 2006.

Now, everybody know a little bit how Facebook growth with the investment from many others company. I hope this help to gain your knowledge about the invested into Facebook.

FACEBOOK

what entry should I make? let's share some information about FACEBOOK. I think everybody know what Facebook is? and most of us are Facebook users, right? Ok, let's start.

Facebook is the world's largest social network, with over 500 million users. Facebook was founded or created by Mark Zuckerberg in February 2004. At first, it is an exclusive network only for Harvard students. It was a strike gold. Within 2 weeks, half of the schools in the Boston area began demanding a Facebook network. Zuckerberg with his friends, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes cooperate to build Facebook. As a result, after 4 months, Facebook had about 30 more college networks.

with the success, Zuckerberg, Moskowitz and Hughes moved out to Palo Alto for the summer and rented a sublet. A few weeks later, Zuckerberg meet the former co-founder of Napster, Sean Parker. Parker made decisions to live in Zuckerberg apartment and work together o Facebook. Parker provided the introduction to their first investor, Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and managing partner of The Founder Fund. Theil invested $500, 000 into Facebook.

one bitter note for Facebook has been the controversy with social network ConnectU. The founders of ConnectU, former classmates of Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard, stated that Zuckerberg stole their original source code for Facebook. The ordeal has gone to court, and has now been resolved.

not with standing this lingering controversy, Facebook's growth in the fall of 2007 was staggering. Over 1 million new users signed up every week, 200,000 daily, totaling over 50 million active users. Facebook received 40 billion page views a month. long gone were the day of Facebook as a social network for college students. 11% of users are over the age of 35, and the fastest growing demographic is users over 30. Facebook has also seen huge growth internationally, 15% of the user base is in Canada. Facebook users' passion or addiction, to the site is unparalleled. More than half use the product every single day and users spend an average of 19 minutes a day on Facebook. Facebook is 6th most trafficked site in the US and top photo sharing site with 4.1 billion photos uploaded.

Based on these types of numbers, Microsoft invested $240 million into Facebook for 1.6 percent of the company in October 2007. This meant a valuation of over $15 billion, making Facebook the 5th most valuable Us Internet company, yet with only $150 million in annual revenue. many explained Microsoft's decision as being solely driven by the desire to outbid Google.

HAPPINESS

"The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does." James M. Barrie 

One essential standard for living is being able to be happy. Happiness can be found in many different forms. It can be found with the purchasing of inanimate objects that better our living styles or it can be found with someone else that you associate with. The latter is the more imperative of the designs of happiness.

In order to be truly happy you need to be able to understand that everything is good within your own life and that you are able to be happy with the people that are in your life and the people that influence how you live your daily life. Happiness is all of the good that someone experiences combined into one emotion. This emotion can, and usually does, bring out the best in people. For someone to be happy they need to know that everything that has happened in their past has happened for a reason and that it has happened in order for them to become a better person, Not only does it make them a better person but it also make them realize how good they have it or can possibly have it.

Although things might be hard to deal with at the moment, people need to realize that they will be able to learn from their experiences and that they will learn to take the good from them all. In the end, the hard times will help people strive for happiness. Happiness isn't not free. You have to earn it and work to keep it. he price for happiness is having to question events that occur during one's life. people need to be able to adapt to their surroundings so that they can get the best out of them. You can't live your life in fear of what can go wrong. You just need to go out and live your life to the fullest and know that you'll be happy, even if something doesn't go the way that you had planned it to.

 Happiness may come and go like the seasons but in the end, every moment that you have that is filled with happiness will be well worth the sad or unnerving ones that you had to endure.
