Control

I'm writing in after I've collated a lot of stories and advices on control. While there are many issues on Control (ie. controlling of project, career, children, own life, etc), I'll write more on the control of life and things that affect life.

An auntie told me that when you have an employee working for you, you set the first basic rules and limitations, and then you internally put a control over it, by constant monitoring, etc. The moment it goes out of control such as the employee coming to work late, on that day itself you set it straight to tell the employee that he/she's late for 5 minutes. If you don't, within two months, he'll be half an hour late. This is a normal human nature taking its course. Not really the employee to be blamed if productivity of the company goes down, but the one who's supposed to be in control, who's not controlling the situation.

In life, it is the same. Things come to you which you don't want. To reject, you might be too kind-hearted to hurt someone. To accept means to tolerate. If you cannot tolerate, then you'd really have to reject. While it might be confusing, what I wrote can be applied to life in general and even work. There is no sense in living in hurt and depression with the so limited time we have in our life. I'm already looking at "waiting for monthly salary" as a total waste of 30 days of your life. So, in this kind of situation, whenever something that you do not want comes into your life, you take control, and either reject, or put a control over it if you have to accept it. Tolerate with control. The moment it gets out of control, and you don't take any action, it will engulf you.

As stupid as an example I put here, think of Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde. He has no choice but to accept it, therefore he tolerated it and do his best to control it.

Aww... I am called to work. Haha... okay, laterz.

The Two Seas: Revisited

Back on 23rd August 2007, I wrote regarding the two seas where the contents do not mix with one another. It's true, in that post, the two seas are very much described in religious scriptures. Today, I've gotten another email on two seas not mixing again, and I decided to do another round of research.

Seems that there IS another area where two seas mixes, however, in this one, there are more Islam*ic anecdotes on it and no Chris*tian comments on it. Of course, in this situation, I highly agree that God Al-Mighty who creates everything also creates the chemistry of the world to achieve this. Jet-Stream, Earth-Magnetic Sphere (I forgot the true name of this), etc... are all God's wonderful creation.

Okay, let's start the explanation. This is a picture that's widely used everywhere to explain the amazing division of the ocean.

I cannot source this picture, as it's widely used. Sorry.

So, is the picture above REALLY true? Yes it is. Here's what happens underneath...

Source: Marine Geology, Kuenen, p. 43, with a slight enhancement by www.islam-guide.com

Along the Straits of Gibraltar, there are two oceans separating Europe and Africa, whereby one of it is Atlantic Sea and the other Mediterranean Sea. Without needing to explain too much, as can be seen in the picture above. The area where the Gibraltar Sill is at the highest point, the depth is anywhere between 300metres to 900metres (from so many various sources). Where the ocean meets, the higher salinity of the Mediterranean Sea Water goes under the lower salinity water of the Atlantic Sea Water.

As the Atlantic Sea Water enters deeper into the Mediterranean sea, it's salinity start to increase as they average each other out and becomes part of the Mediterranean sea. Same goes for the higher salinity that dives under the Altantic ocean's waters, where the higher salinity decreases in the mixture and averages each other out before it totally becomes of Atlantic's salinity.

A quick post this time, just to explain that above. Thanx. :D

Perceptions

I'm not sure if everyone will get what I'm writing below.

1. What this guy did earned him the title of National Hero!! What Peggy Whit*son did is "just my job".

For every action there must be a foundation, and there must be a continuation! What happened above is like an JK Row*ling writing only Book 4 and be done at that. There's absolutely not even an ounce of foundation ready to start thinking of the above, and not an ounce of research that's done that can be considered an element for continued research. I don't get it. It's purely a publicity act.


2. Dropping a car down onto North Pole in 1998 was a proud moment!! What the hell??! Spending so much money to drop something that's totally useless in that environment?!

Another weird one. It's stated the reason is to show "the quality and strength of the car". With a parachute like that, any other car with the same weight and weight distribution will land as good. And why not check what tyre was used and what suspension was used, could've been made from other people. Another publicity act.


It's time to start showing by example than nonsense publicity.
