Project 10 to the 100th is a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible. Do you want to join? Just tell Google. Google’s committing $10 million to implement projects. Deadline is October 20th, 2008
Google asks that you put your idea into one of the following categories and consider the evaluation criteria below.
• Community: How can we help connect people, build communities and protect unique cultures? • Opportunity: How can we help people better provide for themselves and their families? • Energy: How can we help move the world toward safe, clean, inexpensive energy? • Environment: How can we help promote a cleaner and more sustainable global ecosystem? • Health: How can we help individuals lead longer, healthier lives? • Education: How can we help more people get more access to better education? • Shelter: How can we help ensure that everyone has a safe place to live? • Everything else: Sometimes the best ideas don't fit into any category at all.
And with these criteria:
• Reach: How many people would this idea affect? • Depth: How deeply are people impacted? How urgent is the need? • Attainability: Can this idea be implemented within a year or two? • Efficiency: How simple and cost-effective is your idea? • Longevity: How long will the idea's impact last?
I heard this song long time ago. At that time (about 1997-1998), I was just impressed by the name of the song. Now I discover that the lyric is so good, too. A love song you can sing to your lover. Lovely present!
Here’s the lyric:
Isn't it funny How times seems to slip away So fast One minute you're happy The other you're sad But if you give me one more chance To show my love for you is true I'll stand by your side Your whole life trough
If life is short Why won't you let me love you Before we run out of time If love is so strong Why won't you take the chance Before our time has come If life is so short If life is so short
Love is a word that explains How I feel for you And when you're in my arms All my dreams come true And when you're not around You can't hardly see These tears that I'm crying Now are for you to be with me
If life is short Why won't you let me love you Before we run out of time If love is so strong Why won't you take the chance Before our time has come If life is so short If life is so short
I continue to introduce another website. http://keepvid.com/ is a website that allows you to download and save any video from Youtube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm and more!
It’s pretty easy to use: I want to download video “Camp Rock "This Is Me" *with lyrics*” with URL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr3VZtj2D8U, for example. Just copy, paste it and press download button. The result appears in few seconds.
If that file have both extension .flv and .mp4. I recommend you to download .mp4 for a higher quality video (and bigger size *_*)
"Gia Tai Cua Me" (A Mother's Heritage). This is another song of Trinh Cong Son that I would like to introduce. It was also translated by Richard Fuller.
Lyric:A Mother's Heritage
A thousand years of Chinese reign.
A hundred years of French domain.
Twenty years fighting brothers each day,
A mother's fate, left for her child,
A mother's fate, a land defiled.
A thousand years of Chinese reign.
A hundred years of French domain.
Twenty years fighting brothers each day,
A mother's fate, bones left to dry,
And graves that fill a mountain high.
Refrain:
Teach your children to speak their minds.
Don't let them forget their kind
Never forget their kind, from old Viet land.
Mother wait for your kids to come home,
Kids who now so far away roam.
Children of one father, be reconciled.
A thousand years of Chinese reign.
A hundred years of French domain.
Twenty years fighting brothers each day.
A mother's fate, our fields so dead,
And rows of homes in flames so red.
A thousand years of Chinese reign.
A hundred years of French domain.
Twenty years fighting brothers each day.
A mother's fate, her kids' misdeeds,
Her kids filled with disloyalty.
(Refrain)
Enjoy listening, first you will hear Vietnamese, then…. You can download this song at this site
Yesterday, I watched film “Music and lyric”. This film has many good songs. I really love the song named “Way back into love”. I would like to share with you.
Here’s the lyric:
Way Back into Love
I've been living with a shadow overhead I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed I've been lonely for so long Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away Just in case I ever need them again someday I've been setting aside time To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love Oh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine I've been searching but I just don't see the signs I know that it's out there There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light Not somebody just to get me through the night I could use some direction And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love And if I open my heart again I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There are moments when I don't know if it's real Or if anybody feels the way I feel I need inspiration Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love And if I open my heart to you I'm hoping you'll show me what to do And if you help me to start again You know that I'll be there for you in the end oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This time I would like to introduce a Vietnamese song, translated into English by Richard Fuller (american): “The Great Circle of Viet Nam”. This song was written by Trinh Cong Son, who is known in Vietnam as the best love song musician in the 20th century.
Richard Fuller
And here is Trinh’song, the lyric of
The Great Circle of Viet Nam1. From jungled hills to the distant sea,
We form a giant circle to unite our country.
From far and wide, we now return,
With joy, like a sandstorm, to the far horizons,
Let's now join hands :
A great circle of Viet Nam
Flags in the wind, happy nights and days,
Of one blood our hearts ablaze,
Reconciled, a new day.
Hamlet, town now joined as one,
Remember the dead as we bask in the sun,
And one by one, we spread our smiles.
2. From North to South, we all join hands,
From fields long abandoned to mountainous lands,
We'll ford deep streams, climb over hills.
From hamlets to the cities,
We embrace with glee an eternal circle:
Dead and living, one are we.
(translated by Richard Fuller - 2004)
I have one clip in for you.
Handmade Papercraft is a very beautiful kind of cards (I think so). If you make your own card and then give it to your friends as a present, they would be very happy.
I think this website is pretty popular in making Handmade Papercraft (Pop-up card). When I search “Handmade Papercraft” with Google, the results always have a link to this website.
There are many types of cards, and all of 3D pop up cards designed by Yuichi Miyoshi. A long time ago, all patterns could be downloaded and printed (PDF). But now, I just can download some sample cards which she allows to download. This website asks me username and password to download the other files. The problem is that I don’t know how to make an account in this website.
Luckily, I downloaded about half of these files before it required account. But I still want to have all of them. Who can help me?
There are three current and often quoted urban legends that started spreading in late 1980s of an ending to the Doraemon series.
The first and the more optimistic ending was made public by Nobuo Sato several years ago. Doraemon's battery power ran out, and Nobita was given a choice between replacing the battery inside a frozen Doraemon, which would cause it to reset and lose all memory, or await a competent robotics technician who would be able to resurrect the cat-robot one day. Nobita swore that very day to work hard in school, graduate with honours, and become that robotics technician. He successfully resurrected Doraemon in the future as a robotics professor, became successful as an AI developer, and thus lived happily ever after, thus relieving his progeny of the financial burdens that caused Doraemon to be sent to his space-time in the first place.
And I’d like to introduce this Happy ending of Doraemon (if you want to know more about another ending information, please click here)
