This image showcases a stunning aerial view of a tropical beach, surrounded by lush green palm trees and vibrant turquoise waters. The bay is crescent-shaped, with gentle waves lapping against the sandy shore. Numerous people can be seen enjoying the water, some appear to be swimming while others are possibly paddleboarding or engaging in other water activities. The beach is framed by dense foliage, adding to the secluded and serene atmosphere of the scene. The water is a rich gradient of blues and greens, with the waves creating a textured surface that contrasts beautifully against the smooth sand. The lighting is bright and sunny, indicating a clear day, which enhances the colors and adds a warm, inviting feel to the image. This setting evokes a sense of relaxation and tropical bliss, ideal for a beach getaway.

“Colours of Allah” and Abrahamic Lineages

Aisha -- Colours of Allah:

https://youtu.be/O9MvdMqKvpU

You think I'm an evil "terrorist" / تعتقد أنني "إرهابي" شرير

And you've read so much news / وقد قرأت الكثير من الأخبار

I guess it must be so / أعتقد أنه يجب أن يكون كذلك

But still I cannot see / لكن ما زلت لا أستطيع الرؤية

If the "terrorist" is me: / إذا كان "الإرهابي" أنا:

How can there be so much that you don't know? / كيف يمكن أن يكون هناك الكثير مما لا تعرفه؟

You - don't - know... / أنت - لا - تعرف ...

You think you own whatever land you blow up / تعتقد أنك تمتلك أي أرض تفجرها

Tehran is just a dead trophy you can claim / طهران مجرد كأس ميت يمكنك المطالبة به

But I know every Man and Woman and Child / لكني أعرف كل رجل وامرأة وطفل

Has a life, has a spirit, has a name / له حياة ، له روح ، له اسم

You think the only people who are people / تعتقد أن الناس هم الوحيدون

Are the people who look and think like you / هم الأشخاص الذين يشبهونك ويفكرون مثلك

But if you walk the footsteps of Hagar / ولكن إذا مشيت على خطى هاجر

You'll learn things - you never knew - you never knew / ستتعلم أشياء - لم تعرفها أبدًا - لم تعرفها أبدًا

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the crescent moon / هل سمعت من قبل عن صرخة الذئب صرخة الهلال

Or asked the hyacinth macaws why they sing? / أم يسأل الببغاوات الصفير لماذا يغنون؟

Can you sing with all the voices of Ishmael? / ممكن تغني بكل اصوات اسماعيل؟

Can you pray with all the colors of Yahweh? / هل تصلي بكل ألوان الرب؟

Can you pray with all the colors of G-d? / هل تصلي بكل ألوان الرب؟

Come slide down the sand dunes of the desert / تعال وانزلق أسفل الكثبان الرملية للصحراء

Come smell the sunsweet saffron of Iran / تعال شم رائحة الزعفران الإيرانية

Come roll like oil drums all around you / تعال تدور مثل براميل الزيت من حولك

And for once, never wonder what they're worth / ولمرة واحدة ، لا تتساءل أبدًا عن قيمتها

The desert storm martyrs are my brothers / شهداء عاصفة الصحراء إخواني

The Sunnis and Shias are my friends / السنة والشيعة أصدقائي

And we are all connected to each other / وكلنا مرتبطون ببعضنا البعض

In a circle, in a hoop that never ends / في دائرة ، في حلقة لا تنتهي أبدًا

How high does Burj Khalifa grow? / ما هو ارتفاع برج خليفة؟

If you tear it down, then you'll never know / إذا هدمتها ، فلن تعرف أبدًا

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the crescent moon / ولن تسمع أبدًا صراخ الذئب إلى قمر الهلال

For whether we are white or copper skinned / سواء كنا بشرة بيضاء أو نحاسية

We need to sing with all the voices of Ismail / نحتاج أن نغني بكل أصوات إسماعيل

We need to pray with all the colors of El Roi / نحتاج للصلاة بكل ألوان "الروعي"

You can own the Earth and still / يمكنك امتلاك الأرض ولا يزال

All you'll own is earth until / كل ما ستمتلكه هو الأرض حتى

You can pray with all the colors of Allah / يمكنك أن تصلي بألوان الله

Dave Goldberg’s “Internet Geek” About Sheryl Sandberg

Dave Goldberg -- Internet Geek:

https://youtu.be/-I-JNB2rYjs

[Verse 1]

Her name is Sheryl

I have a dream about her

She rings my bell

I got Survey Monkey in half an hour

Oh, how she rocks

In McKinsey and Company

But she doesn't know who I am

And she doesn't give a damn about me

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm just an internet geek, baby

Yeah, I'm just an internet geek, baby

Play Settlers of Catan maybe with me

Ooh

[Verse 2]

Her boyfriend's a loser

And he sleeps with a loaded gun

And he'd simply kick

My ass if he knew the truth

He's in the Navy SEALS

And he serves in Iraq

But he doesn't know who I am

And he doesn't give a damn about me

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm just an internet geek, baby

Yeah, I'm just an internet geek, baby

Play Settlers of Catan maybe with me

Ooh

[Bridge]

Oh, yeah, nerd,███████████████████████████████████████

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████

[Verse 3]

Man, I'm over the moon

It's date night and I am hopeful

Lo and behold

She's falling asleep on me

This must be fake

My lip starts to shake

How does she know who I am?

And why does she give a damn about me?

Sheryl Sandberg:

I've got two tickets to this movie, David

Come with me Friday, don't say "maybe"

I'm just an internet geek, Dave, like you

Ooh

Pork Crisp Rinds, British Bars and Pork Belly

12:00 a.m. (d)

I don't like the taste of pork crisp rinds. It doesn't taste so good for me. I had it at some British bars or from Tesco's. I like pork belly. But you can get full eating just a bit of it.
