Beni Mellal







Beni-Mellal (BerberBni MellalArabicبني ملال‎) is a Moroccan city located at (32°20′22″N 6°21′39″W). It is the capital city of the Tadla-Azilal Region, with a population of 163,286 (2004 census). It sits at the foot of Mount Tassemit (2247m), and next to the plains of Beni Amir.
The walls of the city go back to Mawlay Ismail, in 1688, as well as the Kasba[disambiguation needed] Bel-Kush but most of the city is quite modern and forms an important economic centre for the region particularly in the areas of petrochemical production as well as textile manufacturing which forms the backbone of the wider community. Local agricultural products as oranges, olives, figs etc. find their way to the market via Beni Mellal.[1]
The city has good connections via the road to Casablanca to the East and lies on the ancient route - now a national road - from Fez to Marrakech. The national rail-operator ONCF is also extending the railtrack from Casablanca to (nearby) Oued Zem to the city.

AIDS "Patient Zero": Origins of the HIV virus finally revealed

The RadioLab presenters on their Soundcloud page lately put together a show talking about the origins of humanity's most threatening disease: AIDS. They discussed several interesting points such as where the disease came from pinpointing it's breakout point to the exact 100-km radius, how it spread, and even more interestingly how the virus was born and in what conditions. This is an eye-opening talk that I enjoyed a lot. If you have enjoyed as much, please leave your comments and opinions. ENJOY!!

what is forex ??

What is forex and forex trading?

If you have ever travelled to a foreign country, you may have needed to exchange your money for a different currency. If so, you have already participated in forex trading. “Forex” is the short form of
 foreign exchange. It can also be referred to as “FX” and currency exchange.

Forex trading in a nutshell

As you can imagine, forex trading is a bit more than just exchanging currencies for a holiday. Companies use different currencies to buy goods in other countries. In order to buy these goods, they need to obtain the local currency first, just like we would when going on holiday. The difference is that these companies will exchange huge amounts.

With all of the exchanging of currencies happening around the world, the exchange rate are constantly moving. Here is how it works:

Trading currencies is like exchanging money while on holiday

When currencies are exchanged, they have a certain price: the exchange rate. As with the price of anything, the price for a currency is determined by the laws of supply and demand.

If there is high demand for a particular currency – for example, many people or companies want to change their domestic currency for the euro – the value of the euro will then increase and the exchange rate will change against other currencies. You can use this principle to make money. To illustrate, let's use the example of going on holiday.

The value of a currency will increase if there is a higher demand for it, causing a change of its exchange rate against other currencies.
Say you live in Europe and go on a holiday to the United States. You will want to exchange euros for US dollars. At the time you do this, you get $1.40 for one euro. You exchange €500, therefore receiving $700.

After two weeks, you head home, but you still have $250 left. As you have no use for dollars anymore, you change them back into euros.

You notice though, that the price of the euro against the dollar has changed – the exchange rate is now $1.30 for one euro, so you get approximately €190 back. Had the exchange rate stayed at $1.40, you would have only gotten €180 back. Therefore, you have actually made money.

Successful trading means using the exchange rate to make a profit

Here is an even clearer way of showing this principle using the same example

As the exchange rate of a currency pair changes, so does the cost for purchasing one currency with another. For example, let's say you changed €500 and got back $700 while on holiday. If you come back and the exchange rate changed from $1.40 to $1.30, you would receive €538.5 for a €38.5 profit.
Let’s say that you changed your €500 into US dollars and got $700, but you did not spend any money at all and came back with $700. After the exchange rate changed from $1.40 to $1.30, instead of getting €500 back, you actually receive €538.5. You have gained €38.5 simply from holding your money in dollars while the exchange rate changed. This is essentially how we trade in the currency market. We buy a certain amount of a currency, hold onto it until the exchange rate fluctuates, then change it back once the exchange rate has fluctuated, making money in the process.

Trading to suit your lifestyle

Trading in the currency market means buying a certain amount of a currency, holding onto it until the exchange rate changes, then changing it back again when the exchange rate changes for a profit.
Using a bureau de change and saving a bit of money from your holiday budget is not a practical approach to forex trading. Fortunately, there is an easier way to do this: through online exchange offices called “brokers”.

What this means is that you can exchange currencies online and take advantage of the constantly changing exchange rates. Just like in the example of going on holiday, you can buy different currencies and make a profit as the exchange rates between the currencies change – this is trading the forex market.

Trading forex online has many benefits
1.                  You can trade forex from your home or anywhere you have an Internet connection.
2.                  The forex market never sleeps. It is open 24 hours a day during weekdays and can suit your daily routine.
3.                  You do not need a huge budget to get started. As little as $150 is enough to begin trading and building your account over time.
Trading forex will not make you rich overnight, yet it can provide an income stream alongside your normal job. It can even turn into a business, depending on how much time you are willing to invest.

Memorable quotes from Albert Einstein

  • "I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."
  • "The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility."
  • "Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing."
  • "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
  • "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
  • "Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."

  • "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."
  • "Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."
  • "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
  • "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
  • "God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
  • "The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
  • "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal."
  • "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
  • "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible."
  • "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
  • "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."
  • "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."
  • "Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."
  • "Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity."
  • "If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
  • "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
  • "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
  • "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
  • "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
  • "In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep."
  • "The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead."
  • "Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves."
  • "Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!"
  • "No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"
  • "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."
  • "Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."
  • "The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking...the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
  • "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
  • "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
  • "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
  • "The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."
  • "Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
  • "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
  • "One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."
  • "...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
  • "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
  • "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
  • "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)
