On knowledge sharing and dissemination

... when circulating a working paper for comments, never put on "citations only permitted with the permission of author"

or "no parts of this paper can be used without permission of author". Rather, say "when using parts of this paper please give proper citation and help yourself". Be delighted if someone wants to quote you ... (p.7)

gyres ...


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
 اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh
Alhamdulillah syukur ... 
AlhamduLillah syukur ... banyak yang dipelajari dari satu kehilangan ... tentang nikmat masa ... tentang sahabat dan bukan sahabat ... tentang ketidaktentuan kehidupan ...
tentang dunia di luar jangkauan minda ... tentang tidak putus asa berusaha dan sabar most of all ... AlhamduLillah ...

MH370 has also opened up the world of ... aviation ... navigation ... and communication to all of us ... the young and the old ...
Everyday we are surprised by new concepts and words ...
 that can be aptly applied across life ...
Some may dismiss these words and phrases as jargons of the field ... but when the jist of a jargon cut across many fields it becomes a concept ...

~
many have caught my attention ... here are some that are common in our real life ... with examples ...

aviate ... some drivers aviate on the highways ... they are particularly prone to start aviating on the first drop of rain ...
navigate ... okay let us navigate through this jam ... left, right, middle but NEVER the emergency lane okay ...
turn-back ... you promised this, this and that ... now why this turn-back ... tak suka lah ...
waypoints  ... this is so vague please identify your waypoints ...

most welcome to add ...

a garbage patch turtle ... details below ...

and today i learned about ... the gyres (g as in giant) and the garbage patch ... of the world oceans ...


more here ...


 
and its Giant Garbage Patch ...

A giant mass of old tires, Styrofoam,
plastic bottle caps, old toys,
sneakers, tiny plastic bits and other
flotsam, known as the Eastern
Garbage Patch, stretches as wide as
Texas on the Pacific Ocean between
Oregon and Hawaii.

The floating landfill has pooled from
decades of washout from land, illegal
dumping at sea or from cargo
accidentally tipping from container
ships. The bulk of the floating junk is
made of plastic since the material
doesn't biodegrade.
