Siwa and its significance for Arabic dialectology

Hope all my readers are having/have had a great holiday.

A paper of mine, "Siwa and its significance for Arabic dialectology", should (inshallah) be appearing in ZAL soon-ish. Basically, there's a whole lot of Arabic influence on Siwi, including things you wouldn't expect to be borrowed, like Arabic's rather unusual method of forming comparatives from adjectives. However, this influence shows clear signs of deriving, not from any dialect currently used in or even particularly near Siwa, but rather from a more archaic one, with some resemblance to the dialects of other Egyptian oases quite distant from it and some features not attested in any other Arabic dialect of Egypt or Libya. In the 1100s, according to al-Idrisi, Siwa was inhabited both by Berbers and by sedentary Arabs; I suspect that the Arabs got assimilated into the larger Berber community and that much of the Arabic element of Siwi derives from their now-extinct dialect. If this sort of thing interests you, have a look (you can download it from the link at the beginning of this paragraph) and please feel free to comment on it here or by email.

Great Program for Learning Arabic

Click Here! to find out the easiest way to learn Arabic without spending hundreds of dollars.

So we all know that the job market is wide open for those with a knowledge of the Arabic language after the 9/11 attacks and the war in Iraq. The only problem now is learning it. Not such a small problem as Arabic is one of the hardest (if not the hardest) languages for native English speakers to learn. And Universities in the US are still very lacking when it comes to teaching Arabic even after the US’s huge demand for Arabic speakers has become common knowledge. A search of CollegeBoard.com reveals only 18 universities in the US that offer a major in Arabic and the University of Georgia is the only university in the south that does. Teaching yourself with the help of courses and the internet is the best way to learn Arabic, but when you look at the most prominent courses like Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur you’ll see that they cost hundreds of dollars. You don't have to spend that much. For a way to learn Arabic without spending a week's paycheck follow this link.

Actionscript 3 Animation Running Time: 4 hours, 47 minutes


Learnflash.com - Actionscript 3 Animation 638.5MB


In this video series, Flash guru Craig Campbell opens up Flash CS3 and discusses several different methods for animating with ActionScript 3.0. After discussing the basics, he then jumps into a few projects in which he demonstrates some practical uses for this type of animation.Detailed Video Descriptions





1 - Introduction (Running Time - 1:17)





2 - The ENTER_FRAME Event (Running Time - 9:22)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to animate an object by calling on a function repeatedly at the current frame rate.





3 - Animating With a Timer (Running Time - 9:51)Using a Timer to animate is similar in functionality to the way the ENTER_FRAME method works, except that with a Timer, you have a little more control over the speed and fluidity of the animation.





4 - ActionScript Tweens (Running Time - 9:00)You’ve heard of motion tweens, but did you know you could create motion tweens using ActionScript? In this video, Craig will demonstrate how.





5 - Animating Diagonally (Running Time - 10:07)Animating diagonally involves altering both the x and y coordinates of an object, and in this video, Craig demonstrates how to do this using the methods we’ve already discussed.





6 - Animating Size (Running Time - 13:21)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to animate the width and height of an object when it is clicked.





7 - Introduction to Slideshow Project (Running Time - 1:39)Using some of the techniques learned so far, Craig gives you a tour of your first project for the series—an animated slideshow.





8 - Slideshow – Setting the Stage (Running Time - 13:50)In this video, Craig sets up all of the visual assets for the slideshow.





9 - Slideshow – Loading Pictures (Running Time - 12:18)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to get the loader component to work when a thumbnail is clicked.





10 - Slideshow – Calculating Size (Running Time - 10:12)Retrieving the width and height of a picture that is loaded into a UILoader component isn’t quite as easy as you might think. In this video, Craig shows you how to find the right values.





11 - Slideshow – Centering the Images (Running Time - 7:09)With the width and height of our images retrieved, Craig demonstrates how to use these values to center the images in our viewing area.





12 - Slideshow – Animating the Background (Running Time - 16:45)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to animate the gray background so that it changes dimensions in order to match the size of the image that has been selected.





13 - Slideshow – Animating Transparency (Running Time - 11:30)In this video, Craig takes the slideshow one step further by fading the transparency of the images in when they’re loaded.





14 - Dragging a Movie Clip (Running Time - 15:14)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to create a draggable map using ActionScript 3.





15 - Auto-Scrolling Map (Running Time - 21:28)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to create a map that automatically moves in response to the position of the mouse cursor.





16 - The Animator Class (Running Time - 7:33)The Animator class was designed to allow users to highlight a motion tween that was created in the timeline and to copy that animation as ActionScript. In this video, Craig demonstrates the basics of this process.





17 - Animatin Multiple Objects (Running Time - 11:35)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to alter the code of the Animator class in order to apply a copied animation to multiple objects.





18 - Trigonometry (Running Time - 5:17)In this video, we’re going to begin a discussion on how to animate an object around a circular path in ActionScript. But before we get started, Craig explains a few basic trigonometric concepts.





19 - Animating in a Circle (Running Time - 12:23)In this video, Craig uses the concepts discussed in the last video in order to animate an object around a circular path.





20 - Carousel Animation (Running Time - 13:46)In this video, we take what we’ve learned so far about animating in circles, and we use it to begin building a carousel animation, with multiple objects moving in an oval.





21 - Adjusting Depths (Running Time - 15:04)We have a little bit of a problem with depths in our carousel animation, so in this video, Craig demonstrates how to fix this problem.





22 - Adjusting Sizes (Running Time - 14:36)In this video, Craig demonstrates how to dynamically adjust the sizes of the items in your carousel in order to give the animation a sense of depth.





23 - Using Multiple Movie Clips (Running Time - 9:48)When creating a carousel animation, you might not want all of the animated movie items to be different instances of the same movie clip. In this video, Craig demonstrates how to alter your code in order to insert a variety of movie clips into the animation.





24 - Altering the Speed (Running Time - 7:43)In this video, Craig explains how to alter the speed and direction of your carousel animation depending on the location of the user’s cursor.





25 - Clickable Carousel Buttons (Running Time - 9:29)In this video, Craig wraps up the carousel project by explaining how to make the items in the carousel clickable.





26 - Experimenting with Circles (Running Time - 16:19)In this video, Craig demonstrates some experimental ActionScript drawing techniques that build on our discussion of animating in circles.





27 - Conclusion (Running Time - 0:49)

* A rather interesting, light-hearted blog is 'Namla 7ola', at first it was hard (in a good way) to fathom who is the person behind this blog, as it had a strange narrative, a 'cross-eyed ant' recounting the social misadventures of a yer run-of-the-mill Iraqi young man, the ant device seems unexplored other than for the cutesy element, which is strange but after a few days the mystery is resolved when the writer decides to tell us a little more about herself:

As someone that had left Iraq years ago, and as a girl whose life-style and experiences vary from those of a guy, I heavily rely on old recounts by siblings and relatives pertaining to their Baghdad-habits, as well as stories told by various friends and net-users as a source of inspiration for the haps and mishaps of Choo8i's life under the current situation in Iraq. Iraqi slang is often used to express certain things and notions as opposed to their English counterparts, just for a firmer bond to the daily life of your average Iraqi youth, down to his manner of speech.

The purpose? The net is full of angry bloggers, appeased bloggers, support and opposition to this party and that public figure. Your average Joe, Choo8i, represents the overlooked part of society where people live the day attempting at as much a taste of normalcy as circumstances would allow, not wasting precious time over futile political debates.

Another blog that's been lying around for a while is al-Rassid, it doesn't take a lot of guessing to figure out the political orientation for this blog:  

منظمة مجتمع مدني تعنى برصد جرائم الاحتلال الاميركي والايراني في العراق وجرائم الميلشيات الصفوية الشيعية والكردية وكل القوى التي لا تؤمن بالعراق الواحد


A strongly anti-Wahhabi prolific blog is Stefan, while it carries many signature Shi'i terminology, it seems to have been written by a secular atheist:

الاسم : سطيفان ابن ابي نعل النجدي السلفي ( رضي الله عني )- التحصيل العلمي : بكلوريوس جهاد من الجامعه الوهابيه في المهلكه السعوديه حاصل على الدكتوراه في فن الذبح على الطريقه الجهاديه من معهد افغانستان العالمي للنحر و التشويه والدتي كانت تساعد المجاهدين في الشيشان حيث انها تعمل كشرموطه يقصدها الروس فينقض عليهم المجاهدون و هم في فراشها والدي لم اعرفه ابدا قالت لي والدتي انه استشهد قبل ان يتزوجها سميت ب سطيفان نسبة الى خلقي الحسن و اخلاقي العاليه سنة الولاده :5480 هجريه ( التعامل بالميلادي حرام ) متزوج من 12 زوجه و لدي 416 ابنا و بنتا كلهم مجاهدون انشاء عبد الوهاب شعاري في الحياة : انكح تنكح

On a different note, Baghdadiat Aziz al-Hijjiya, written by Lina Aziz al-Hijjiya, sets out to publish the writings of Aziz al-Hijjiya, which is concerned with narrating the style of life and customs in early 20th century Baghdad:
بغداديات لتصوير الحياة والعادات قبل مائة عام . تراثيات بغدادية تبحث في الحياة البغدادية القديمة حسب رؤية الشخصية البغدادية التراثية عزيز الحجية
