Summary

Anyone can become an Urban Birder. You can do it anywhere and any time, whether you've got the day to spare, on your way to work, during your lunch break or just looking out of a window. Look up and you will see. 
 
The book is an inspirational look at the birdlife in our cities, or more accurately, the author's personal journey of discovery involving encounters with racism, air rifle-toting youths, girls, alcohol, music, finding urban wildlife oases and of course, birds. 
 
David Lindo's story is entertaining and sometimes controversial, but the one guarantee is that the reader will be left feeling inspired enough to pick up a pair of binoculars and head to the nearest park.
Available since: 06/03/2016.

  • Methods to Overcome the Financial and Money Transfer Blockade against Palestine and any Country Suffering from Financial Blockade - cover

    Methods to Overcome the...

    Online shopping and online money transfer has become an urgent necessity for all citizens of the world. One of the difficulties I encountered in electronic money transfer and online shopping is the financial blockade against the Palestinians.
    It is surprising although the electronic currency transfer has become the trend of the century with the developments of crypto currency block chain technology, central and decentralized platforms, and unlimited digital currency wallets, which reflects the extent of progress in currency conversion in this era. Most cryptocurrency platforms do not discriminate people on the basis of location or nationality. Everyone has the right to open account with them, and every person is responsible for securing his account. On the contrary, you find large websites that operate with a sterile racist mentality, such as PayPal, Skrill and others that ban residents of the Palestinian Authority areas just because they are Palestinians. For example, PayPal is the most important electronic wallet for electronic payment, is prohibited only for the residents of the Palestinian territories. And if we open accounts outside Palestine, the account will be closed immediately.
    And there are also other large sites that follow the same policy as Skrill and eBay. I also surprised that most of the electronic banks or electronic wallets that deal in the fiat currencies such as USD and EURO refuse to activate the accounts of the Palestinians. With the exception of cryptocurrency platforms so far, they do not put obstacles against the Palestinians.
    And even the banks and wallets that agree to open accounts to Palestinian people, they do not support withdrawals to a Palestinian banks, whether in euros, dollars, or any other currency.
    Other difficulty I encountered that the electronic banks and wallets that deal only with fiat currencies such as USD and EURO require that you not don't deposit, withdraw , or deal through the account with any digital crypto currency platforms. In the event of making money transfer with any digital crypto currency platform, the account will be suspended. So the electronic banks and wallets that only support the fiat currencies for withdrawal and deposit consider digital currencies as suspicious and prohibited currencies.
    Also most websites don't accept ordering Visa/Master Card to Palestine region.
    Hence, I ask all concerned parties around the world to work to stop the discrimination and siege against the Palestinians by banks and electronic wallets.
    In this report I will provide Summary of the difficulties I encountered in electronic money transfer and online shopping due to the financial blockade against the Palestinians. And I will present some methods to overcome the financial and money transfer blockade against Palestine and similar countries facing from same issue. This report consists from the following parts:

  • Gunpowder and the Printing Press: The History and Legacy of the Inventions that Modernized Europe - cover

    Gunpowder and the Printing...

    In addition to the wheelbarrow, the seismograph, the waterwheel, deep drilling, suspension bridges, and ship rudders, among countless other life-changing contraptions, the Chinese developed what were later dubbed the “Four Great Inventions of China.” Two of those were gunpowder and printing, which both spread through South Asia and the Middle East before making it to Europe.  
    For a time, gunpowder was a mere curiosity, but its destructive power and military potential would be realized quickly. The first record of a cannon in Europe comes from a manuscript written in 1326, which has an illustration showing an armored man with what looks like a slow match lighting a vase-shaped object. This crude cannon was called a pot de fer in French and vasi in Italian. While medieval engineers developed new types of cannons and explosives capable of destroying walls and castles, others were making the first handguns possible. European sources first mentioned the widespread use of handgonnes, as they were often called, in the late 14th century, precisely the time when gunpowder became cheaper.  
    	The history of printing was for ancient Asia an advancement in culture and communication, but for Europe in the 15th century, it was much more, plunging the continent into a new paradigm and aligning it for the modern world. Its importance is often overlooked, but the timeliness of the printing machine was equivalent to the invention of alphabets in antiquity and ranks up there with the digital revolution and the introduction of the internet. Put simply, it made the Renaissance possible and led to the modernization of Europe. Based on earlier Asian principles, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type printing press propelled an industry that led to the education of the West and ultimately removed the tight grip of the Vatican from daily European life.

How do dogs communicate with humans and each other? The Psychology of Dog Ownership explores the nature of our unique relationship with dogs and its effect on our mental and physical welfare.
