Egypt is one of the most fascinating destinations on the world tourist map. This extra ordinary country is today the favourite vacation spot for many, just like it was in the days of the early Greeks and Romans. The thoroughly cultured Greeks, in particular, were fascinated by this civilization that predated theirs by at least 2000 years. The biggest draw continues to be the amazing abundance of historical treasures- temples, pyramids and museums –contained in this one country. But the destination offers more than just the wonders of antiquity. Your visit to Egypt can be rounded off by a cruise down the Nile and a beach vacation at the top notch Red Sea and Sinai resorts.The unification of the...

I had the good fortune to meet Pastor Hagee when I visited his Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX. Pastor Hagee has always been an inspiration to me and many throughout the world. His fiery cutting edge sermons shake, awake and inspire.I was greatly blessed by Pastor Hagee's teachings on Islam wherein he gives an accurate portrayal of the Quran, the injunction of Allah to kill infidels and the devotion of Muslims to be martyrs. Many modern Muslims who don't follow the Quran would disagree, but when you study it you fully see that in its purest unadulterated form Islam is a religion that has historically been spread by the sword. The nation of Sudan where over one-million Christians have been...

Recently we ambushed Oxford Street shoppers for a survey on ethical shopping. But as we pounded the pavements of central London we found lots of shoppers asking us the same questions. Why should we care about sweatshops? What are they? Shouldnt people be grateful for any work they can get? If they werent working in a sweatshop wouldnt the workers be worse off? How can we change things? The answers are not always clear-cut, but we hope that this outline guide will bust a few myths about sweatshop workers, owners and customers. What is a sweatshop anyway? The word sweatshop described a nineteenth century system where subcontractors sweated out profits from the difference between the price of their...

Satellite TV is a Liberator or the first time in history, India's Republic Day was seen live all over Asia on Star TV, and the fuming politicians and intellectuals of Pakistan could do nothing about it. The budget speech of Dr Man Mohan Singh ;will be broadcast all over Asia by Zee TV, and once again the censors in Pakistan, Burma and elsewhere will be helpless to prevent their countrymen from tuning in. What Doordarshan and the external affairs ministry could never have accomplished, in spreading the message about India's economic Renaissance, is being done through the purely commercial channels of satellite TV. Whatever else you may call this, this is not cultural imperialism imposed by the west...

At about the same time I started to think about building my own website, I considered my personal strengths and resources. It occurred to me that it might be a good idea to make a list of all the things I have in my life, as well as the things I have learned and skills I can use. This could help me come up with new directions for my personal development. After I've started writing these things down, I decided to call it "Power Maps" as they outline my sources of power, and could also show me ways to turn my strengths into more powerful actions. In this brief article I will try to demonstrate how I do this, hoping you can do the same. I use my own Power Map as an example, so you also get a chance to...

The history of wine consumption in America has been frought with starts, stops, and inconsistencies. The American population has always had a love-hate relationship with alcohol. Historic prohibitionist attitudes amongst much of the American population have blurred the line between moderate wine consumption and detrimental alcoholism. As a result, regular, moderate consumption of wine by the American public continues to face ideological and legal impediments.The History of Wine Consumption During the Colonial YearsSince its origins, the history of wine consumption in America has been both encouraged and despised by different demographic groups. Spanish missionaries produced the earliest New...

The photos you took of the party are really great - except for one thing: "red eye" makes everyone look like extras from a low budget horror movie! Red eye can be a real problem if you're taking photos with a flash. It's caused by the reaction of light from the flash on the inner workings of your eye. Pictures of animals (especially cats) can suffer from a similar condition know as "pet eye".Photoshop offers a solution to this problem, and while it can't make things look exactly the way they should have been, it can make the people (or pets) in your pictures look less "possessed".The first thing to do is upload your photos into your computer, or scan them in if you're working from prints, then...

In 1795 the British occupied the Cape as a strategic base against the French, controlling the sea route to the East.After a brief reversion to the Dutch in the course of the Napoleonic wars, it was retaken in 1806 and kept by Britain in the post-war settlement of territorial claims. The closed and regulated economic system of the Dutch period was swept away as the Cape Colony was integrated into the dynamic international trading empire of industrializing Britain.A crucial new element was evangelicalism, brought to the Cape by Protestant missionaries. The evangelicals believed in the liberating effect of 'free' labor and in the 'civilizing mission' of British imperialism. They were convinced that...

There are a number of seized car auctions held in various places every month or at least quarterly. Usually, these special auctions are sponsored or put by the federal, state or local governments, and in some cases by law enforcement agencies.There are a variety of ways on how the seized cars were put to the possession of the government. The most common and the most logical reason or explanation would be that these cars were previously owned by bad people, or those who violated laws or breached regulations.Sometimes, cars sold at government auctions are actually old cars of government offices, which might have bought newer cars to replace the older ones.People frequent government seized car auctions...

There is little doubt that reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic are crucial elements in the education of any child. A child's ability to later cope in the adult world, to have a career, to take charge of his financial affairs and to live independently depends to a large extent on his mastery of these skills.Unfortunately many children are deprived of the privilege of an abundant adult life. The $14 million National Literacy Survey of 1993 found that even though most adults in this survey had finished high school, 96% of them could not read, write and figure well enough to go to college. Even more to the point, 25% "were plainly unable to read," period.Surely this is unacceptable. Imagine doing a survey...

It seems odd that Brazil produces one third of the worlds coffee production. But the weird thing is that most of the coffee connoisseurs shun Brazilian coffee.To most people, when you mention Mocha they think of a blend of coffee and chocolate. Really though, Mocha is very expensive and it has nothing to do with it because Mocha beans are hard to find and cost a lot of money. When coffee beans were first offered for sale they were sold by pharmacists, of all people. Later on Coffee houses started selling them.A lot of folks are surprised when you tell them that the primary places where coffee is grown is Central and South America, Africa, and Indonesia. A smaller amount of coffee is grown in Hawaii...

What does the term adventure travel mean to you?

The Indonesian island of Bali had just recovered from the 2002 nightclub bombings, hosting a record number of tourists in 2004, when terrorists struck there again in October, bombing two cafes. Patsy Widakuswara recently visited the island. In this report, narrated by Amy Katz, she says Bali, which relies on tourism as its main industry, is again suffering. There are not many tourists in the usually vibrant Kuta section of Bali's capital, Denpasar, in the wake of the bombings of two cafes there in October. A few visitors are still determined not to let the threat of terrorism spoil their vacation plans. "We felt that it was still relatively safe to come here, and it is a great spot to come on...

In a market full of translators, translation agencies and translation directories one is forgiven for feeling confused as to where to go and who to use. Finding a good translation service or translator is a key business decision that should not be taken lightly.The need for reputable translation agencies and translators to take out professional indemnity insurance is in itself an indication that things can and do go wrong, sometimes with heavy financial consequences.Financial losses may occur through using a poor translation service or translator in a number of ways. For example, a badly translated business document, such as a contract or proposal, can have a devastating effect if a business...

Earth Changes...Well, I personally think that earth changes are both real and understated, but these changes are getting far less worldwide attention than they deserve.The following facts and statistics were all gleaned from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program ( so you can check them out and verify them yourself.This past month, from April 1st to April 28th (of 2005), there were 135 earthquakes measuring 5.0 and above on the Richter scale worldwide.Of those 135, 18 measured above 6.0.More alarming still is the fact that of these 135 earthquakes, over 70 of them hit the country (and/or waters) of Indonesion - IN ONE MONTH!Why haven't we heard more about this?Indonesia is hardly a huge country- it's...

NOVEL AL JAZEERA MAN"The Dream of the Decade" comes with high praise. Dan Franklin, publisher of Martin Amis, Salman Rushdie and Ian McEwan is an admirer of the book and says that 30-something Rattansi "captures the atmosphere of the late 1980s." But with the first British publication of this quartet, it's easy to see that these characters are very much living with us today.It's always difficult for a new novelist to break through the household literary name strata. And, often, more difficult for the aspiring writer is answering questions as to what their work is about. J. D. Salinger would have found it difficult to describe immediately why the plot of "Catcher in the Rye" was inherently...
