Christmas in Lebanon

Christmas is one of the important state holidays in Lebanon. Most Lebanese Muslims celebrate Christmas with Christian friends. A poll showed that around two thirds of the population celebrates Christmas, while only 45% of the population is Christian. Commercialization and open markets are bringing a more secular celebration of Christmas to the public. Churches are open all night for praying and people go to visit friends and families, often to villages in the mountains. Christmas concerts are popular, not to forget to mention the wide popularity of both local and western Christmas Carols. Around mid-December, the people start singing carols and saying payers and continue until the New Year's Eve. Internationally famous fashion designer, Elie Saab, donates a giant Christmas tree of 25 m high for public display every year in Downtown Beirut.




Lebanese Christmas food is a mixture of European and Middle Eastern fare, for example, Tabbouleh, Kibbeh, Turkey and wine, and for dessert a "Buche de Noël". Most of Christmas Greetings are spoken in French like “Joyeux Noël” or in English like “Merry Christmas”. Christmas decorative lights fill the countries roads, people decorate their houses as well. Beneath the Christmas tree, families place a nativity scene or crèche with a unique style, representing Jesus, St. Mary, and St Joseph, the Three Kings, shepherds men and miniature people, and of course Jesus Christ which is placed on Christmas eve, this is known as the Mghara in the Lebanese language. Moreover, Christmas gifts are placed all around the tree, and are opened on Christmas Eve according to the Lebanese traditions, and on Christmas morning in the American tradition.

How is Artificial Rain made?

The need to develop and improve rainmaking techniques in terms of design, operation, monitoring and evaluation by giving them a more scientific character is today's need.

This includes using computers to study cloud formations and help the rainmaking operations achieve the goals of the project. The role of weather modification, or rainmaking, is an important component in water resource management.

The process involved in artificial rainmaking involves three easy-to-understand stages. The first stage is agitation. That is using chemicals to stimulate the air mass upwind of the target area to rise and form rain clouds.

The chemicals used during this stage are calcium chloride calcium carbide, calcium oxide, a compound of salt and urea, or a compound of urea and ammonium nitrate. These compounds are capable of absorbing water vapor from the air mass, thus stimulating the condensation process.

The second stage is building-up stage. Here the cloud mass is built up using chemicals such as kitchen salt, the T 1 formula, urea, ammonium nitrate, dry ice, and occasionally also calcium chloride to increase nuclei which also increase the density of the clouds. In the third stage of bombardment chemicals such as super-cool agents: silver iodide and dry ice are used to reach the most unbalanced status which builds up large beads of water (Nuclei) and makes them fall down as raindrops.

In planning every stage a high degree of expertise and experience is required, in selecting the types and amounts of chemicals to use, while taking into consideration weather conditions, topographical conditions, wind direction and velocity as well as the location or delimitation of the area for chemical seeding. Several other ideas are also involved in rainmaking. Rockets containing rainmaking chemicals are fired into the clouds either from the ground or from aircraft.

From a highly pressurized canister, a jet of rainmaking chemicals is shot directly into the cloud base, to coerce clouds that normally hang above mountaintops to cluster up and rain on the mountain or their slopes.
Rainmaking chemicals are added to super-cooled clouds, i.e., those at altitudes above 18,000 meters, to stimulate the formation of ice crystals in the cloud or cloud cluster.

What is a Blog?

A blog (short for weblog) is a personal online journal updated often, as well proposed for general public consumption. The definition of blogs comes by their format: a series of entries posted to a single page in reverse-chronological order. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or reflect the purpose of the Web site that hosts the blog. Topics sometimes include brief philosophical musings, commentary on Internet and other social issues, and links to other sites the author favors, especially those that support a point done on a post.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

Shopping Online

-Online shopping is the process consumers go through to purchase products or services over the Internet. An online shop, eshop, e-store, internet shop, webshop, webstore, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or in a shopping mall.


-The term "Webshop" also refers to a place of business where web development, web hosting and other types of web related activities take place. Buying online introduced new ways of reducing costs by reducing the number of staff needed. It is a more effective way of getting products to people and spreading into different demographics.




  -In recent years, online shopping has become popular; however, it still caters to the middle and upper class. In order to shop online, one must be able to have access to a computer, a bank account and a debit card. Shopping has evolved with the growth of technology. According to research found in the Journal of Electronic Commerce, if we focus on the demographic characteristics of the in-home shopper, in general, the higher the level of education, income., and occupation of the head of the household, the more favorable the perception of non-store shopping.

Autumn/ Fall


In the autumn, we see the leaves on the trees start to turn many different colors. You may have heard someone say it is Jack Frost who causes the trees to change color. They say that when he brings the frost, it creates the beautiful patterns and colors of the leaves.

There is a Native American myth that says hunters in the Heavens killed the Great Bear in autumn and blood dripped over the leaves, coloring some red. As the hunters cooked the meat, fat dripped from the Heavens and colored some of the leaves yellow.

Trees make their own food during the summer. They take water from the ground, carbon dioxide from the air, and sunlight and turn it into something called chlorophyll. It gives leaves their green color.

As the days get shorter, there is less sunlight and less water. The plants gradually quit making food and there is no more chlorophyll. The yellow and orange colors were always in the leaves, but the green was stronger. The bright red and purple colors come from glucose (sugar) that is trapped in the leaves. Brown colors come from tannin, a bitter waste product. Different combinations of these give us many colors each fall.

The Effect of Flowers on Our Emotions

If you have a relative or a friend in Lebanon and you want to send him a gift or flowers, you may visit. Flowers Lebanon and gifts LebanonAccording to recent behavioral research conducted at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, nature provides us with a simple way to improve emotional health - flowers.

A team of researchers explored the link between flowers and life satisfaction in a 10-month study of participants' behavioral and emotional responses to receiving flowers. The results show that flowers are a natural and healthful moderator of moods.


1-Flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. All study participants expressed "true" or "excited" smiles upon receiving flowers. This reaction was universal, occurring in all age groups.

2-Flowers have a long-term positive effect on moods. Specifically, study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction.

3-Flowers make intimate connections. The presence of flowers led to increased contact with family and friends. "Common sense tells us that flowers make us happy." Now, science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being."
