<p>last week i went to watch Avatar iMax version in 360, and i was so dissapointed:<br />
1) compared to other 3D movies it lacked to real 3D effects that makes you reach out for them. ( except for the translaton line <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  )<br />
2) There are so many cut scenes for no valid reason .. probably just to make the film shorter so they can have more shows in a day ( compared to the downloaded version it seems the guy was randomly cutting ) </p>
<p>3) The screen kept on going black from time to time during the show.<br />
4) The temperature in the hall was high the 3D glasses kept on fogging </p>
<p>Recommendation: Either wait for the DVD to come out or go to see it on a Monday with the discounted ticket coz from what they did to the movie here its not worth the 4KD you pay for iMax</p>

They are Human beings not slaves nor machines, they deserve the time off same as u enjoy your long vacations.. and as i recall it was their votes that put you where you are now<br />

<p>ويصوت المجلس على عدد من التعديلات المقدمة من قبل رئيسة لجنة الشؤون الصحية والاجتماعية البرلمانية النائبة رولا دشتي، والتي دعت في معظمها إلى تقليص الإجازات المستحقة للعامل التي أقرها القانون في مداولته الأولى، والتي حظيت بموافقة اللجنة، وتبدأ من المادة 68 التي حددت الإجازات الرسمية المقررة للعامل بأجر كامل، وبالرغم من أن القانون قد حدد في مداولته الأولى ثلاثة أيام إجازة لعيد الفطر مدفوعة الأجر، ومثلها لعيد الأضحى، فإنها اقترحت تقليص هاتين الإجازتين إلى يومين بدلاً من ثلاث.</p>
<p>كما سيتم التصويت على التعديل الآخر المقدم من قبلها على المادة 69، التي اقترحت خلاله جعل الإجازة المرضية خلال السنة عن أول عشرة أيام بأجر كامل بدلاً من خمسة عشر يوماً، كما نص عليها الاقتراح في مداولته الأولى.</p>
<p>ومن بين التعديلات التي سيتم التصويت عليها الخاصة بالإجازات التعديل على المادة 70 المقدمة من قبل رئيسة لجنة الشؤون الصحية والاجتماعية والعمل البرلمانية، الذي يقلص فترة الإجازة السنوية المدفوعة الأجر للعامل في القطاع الخاص من ثلاثين يوماً، كما أقرها المجلس في مداولته الأولى إلى خمسة عشر يوماً، إذ ينص التعديل المقدم من دشتي على أن &#8216;للعامل الحق في إجازة سنوية مدفوعة الأجر مدتها خمسة عشر يوماً عن السنة الأولى لا تستحق إلا بعد قضائه تسعة أشهر على الأقل في خدمة صاحب العمل، وواحد وعشرون يوماً لمن أمضى في الخدمة مدة لا تقل عن سنتين ولا تجاوز 5 سنوات، ومدة شهر لمن جاوزت خدمته خمس سنوات&#8217;.</p>
<p>المادة (76)</p>
<p>كما سيتم التصويت أيضاً على التعديل المقدم على نص المادة 76 من قبل رولا دشتي، والتي اقترحت فيه أن يكون للعامل الذي أمضى ثلاث سنوات متصلة في خدمة صاحب العمل الحق في إجازة مدفوعة الأجر مدتها خمسة عشر يوماً لأداء فريضة الحج، شريطة ألا يكون قد أدى الفريضة قبل، في حين أنها كانت تنص هذه المادة في المداولة الأولى على من أمضت سنتين متصلتين فقط وليس ثلاث سنوات، كما أقرت اللجنة الصحية تعديل دشتي على نص المادة 77 والذي سيتم التصويت عليه أيضاً، والتي قلصت فيه إجازة العامل في حالة الوفاة إلى ثلاثة أيام بحد أقصى، في حين أن المادة في المداولة الأولى لم تشر إلى &#8216;حد أقصى&#8217;، كما اقترحت أيضاً في هذه المادة جعل إجازة المرأة العاملة المسلمة التي يُتوفى زوجها مدة واحد وعشرين يوماً، بعد أن كانت أربعة أشهر، إذ ينص اقتراحها على ما يلي: &#8216;للعامل في حالة وفاة أحد أقاربه من الأولى والثانية، الحق في إجازة بأجر كامل بحد أقصى ثلاثة أيام وفقاً لما يقرره صاحب العمل، على ألا تخصم من إجازته الرسمية. وللمرأة العاملة المسلمة التي تُوفِي زوجها الحق في إجازة عدة بأجر كامل مدة 21 يوماً من تاريخ الوفاة، ولها الحق في إجازة دون أجر مدة لا تتجاوز أربعة أشهر من تاريح انتهاء الاجازة المذكورة شريطة موافقة صاحب العمل، وفي حال عدم موافقة صاحب العمل عليها يلتزم الأخير بتنظيم دوام المرأة المسلمة التي يتوفى زوجها، بحيث تكون ساعات عملها بين الثامنة صباحاً والخامسة عصراً، وذلك مع عدم الإخلال بأحكام المادة 64 من هذا القانون.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">i booked a new number from Viva when they launched their campaign hoping to get a better service than the current Zain &amp; Wataniya  providers.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">yesterday i got 3 SMS from viva :</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1) &#8220;<span style="color: #0000ff;">عزيزنا  لقد تشرفنا بحجز رقمك في شركة فيفا ونهديك اولى مفاجئاتنا لك وهي استقبال المكالمات الدولية والأرضية مجانا.</span>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Excellent <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  its about time someone started this and it seems like Zain has followed their footsteps in this move&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2) &#8220;<span style="color: #0000ff;">شكرا لحجزك رقم VIVA. لاستلام خطك تفضل بزيارة فروعنا في ارض المعارض بمشرف قاعة 8 و منتجع السليل  الجهراء. لمزيد من المعلومات الرجاء زيارة viva.com.kw</span>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Excellent, included in my friday plans</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3) &#8220;<span style="color: #800080;">Thank you for booking with VIVA. To collect your SIM card. visit us at Meshrif Fair Ground Exhibition Hall 8 &amp; Slayil JAhra Resort. for more information visit viva.com.kw</span>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">cool Multi language sms alright i&#8217;m going to get my SIM card they seem to be prepared <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Friday: <span style="color: #0000ff;">i arrive at Hall 8 around 6pm the traffic was normal and i found a parking next to the place, oh cool cops are there to keep things smooth, i arrive at the gate to find around 200 angry people trying to get in the empty hall and 4-5 cop cars parked there and the cops are telling them &#8220;Khalas mako ta3alo bacher sa3a 10&#8243;  ( we are closed come tomorrow at 10) so the angry mob breaks up and all left disappointed, so i headed back on my way out i was shoked it seemed like half the population of Kuwait was heading there not knowing whats waiting for them <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #993366;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Conclusion:</span> i&#8217;m very disappointed with the lack of planning by VIVA, why do you send an SMSM to all the subscribers at once if you are not capable of handling them ? wo 3ala ray el mathal &#8220;<span style="color: #0000ff;">اللي هذا اوله ينعاف تاليه</span>&#8221; wo &#8220;<span style="color: #0000ff;">خلك على مينونك لايجيك اللي اين منه</span>&#8220;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Advice to VIVA : </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Change your logo </span>to   <span style="text-decoration: underline;">VIVA <span style="color: #ff0000;">im<span style="color: #0000ff;">possible </span></span>فيفا <span style="color: #ff0000;">ما<span style="color: #0000ff;">تقدر</span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>09-10-2008:  they replied <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #800080;">&#8220;Dear Mr Mohammed,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #800080;">Reffering to your request, kindly note that i have check your number and it is the same as the one you gave it to us, </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #800080;">expanding the mobile number field in order to accept 8 digits instead of 7 digits, kindly note that for the time being our system accepts only 7 digits which will be valid until further notification.  Expanded will be fixed soon.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Sorry for any inconvenience&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"> </span></span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>05/10/2008:</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1st day of work after a long vacation just had my morning Tea/Milk while browsing the web i hear my mobile sms alert i got this sms from 801801 ( NBK ):</p>
<p><span style="color: blue;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue;">&#8220;Your account 0110 has been credited with 500.000 KWD on 05/10, 08:38. The available balance of your account is 600.000 KWD &#8220;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">i started to wonder who or what or why i suddenly got 500KD in my account ?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ramadan blessings and  i won Aljawhara ? ( no i don&#8217;t even have one )</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">late 3eedyea ? ( don&#8217;t know anyone that rich <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />   )</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">did someone send me a gift ?  ( not my birthday )</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.q8i.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bankingsms.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-665 alignnone" title="bankingsms" src="http://www.q8i.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bankingsms.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="131" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">while i was squeezing my brain trying to think about the source of this amount i logged into my account and checked the balance it was not 600KWD it was more like 300 fils or something <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  oh and my account wasn&#8217;t 0110 anyway</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">turns out to be a glitch in NBK&#8217;s SMS banking probably they didn&#8217;t update their numbering scheme or they did and that caused some bug in the system probably they sent someone else&#8217;s details to me ( Lucky guy  care to share some of your reward ? <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />     )</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">ah well back to work&#8230; and thank you NBK for making me live those exciting seconds of my life <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>07/10/2008:</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">UPDATE : i got an sms again stating that the pin number has been successfully selected,  so i call 801801 to report this  the guy was like &#8221; La wallah ?!!? &#8221; so ya36eh el 3afya he removed my number from the system and reset my sms service. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800080;">next morning i get another SMS : &#8220;Your account 0110 has been debited with 55.750 KWD on 7/10, 09:53. The available balance  of your account is 544.250 KWD&#8221; </span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">seems like the 500KD guy is a bit busy this morning</span>, <span style="color: #0000ff;"> i checked the online page and got a reply from one gentleman stating that he rest my SMS service  this was before i got the new SMS&#8230; </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Conclusion : i will be able to track down all this guy&#8217;s transactions until someone at NBK finally realises that the new customer gave them the wrong number or he forgot to add a 9 infronnt of his number,   i wonder if someone else is getting my SMSs .. well seems we have to wait for the next salary to know <img src='http://www.q8i.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />    unless someone would be so generous to deposit  100000000000 KWD in my account ( for testing reasons !Honest ) </span></p>
