FISHER UNWIN, LTD 1, ADELPHI TERRACE, W.C. PREFACE Great Britain's methods of rule in India are fully understood and greatly admired by the vast majority of Americans. By the latter the publication of this small volume, presenting the considered and favourable opinions of represen- tative Americans who have actual knowledge .of conditions in India, or have studied these and similar problems of government, will be welcomed as a striking confirmation of their own views. No case can gain by being overstated, and it is no small advantage that in such remarkable tributes of impartial critics to British fair dealing in India the presence of overstatement can hardly be suspected. The opinions, which have been compiled from the most disinterested sources, include those of two living ex-Presidents of the United States. CONTEXTS. PAGE THEODORE ROOSEVELT . 1 W. H.

The mega national projects are considered the locomotive of the sustainable development. In this respect, the New Suez Canal, which was totally setup in one year (August 2015-August 2016), with 100% national finance, had a direct and indirect impact concerning increasing the GDP on the one hand, and activating the movement of trade and aracting foreign investments on the other hand, As regards the national project of developing the Suez Canal Corridor, this project mainly aims at increasing the job opportunities and turning the Suez Canal into a global center for maritime navigation and logistic services, an industrial center and a gate for the trade exchange between the east and the west.

  • Labor and Professional, and Social Protests During Jan 2019
    The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information ANHRI Program of freedom of expression of workers and social movements Labor and Social Protest Index during January 2019 Introduction January has witnessed no major protests, but in general we can say that the number of participants in the protests in most of the labor and professional protests was estimated by hundreds, or dozens, while individualism dominated the social mobility; at best the number of participants in the protests did not reach thousands, except in the case of solidarity with the Bar Association during the hearing to appeal the sentence of imprisonment for failure to implement a judicial ruling, and the failure to implement the provisions of registration of graduates of open education on the registration schedule of the union. In terms of the authorities' handling of the protests, labor protests were mostly dominated by negotiations, while social protests were mostly dominated by repression and intimidation, or even being ended automatically. The program monitored 47 protests during the month of January, including 11 labor and professional protests, and 36 social, summarized as follows: Labor and Professional, and Social protests during Jan 2019 23.40% 76.60% Labor and Professional 23.4% Social 76.6% I- Labor and Professional Protests: The program has monitored 11 labor and professional protests, distributed as follows: 1- Protests: 4 cases 2- Strike to work: 2 cases 3- Hunger strikes: 2 cases 4- Sit in: 2 cases 5- Threatening to protest: 1 case.

    Plate 1. Satellite mosaic of the River Nile delta in Egypt, compiled by Earth Satellite Corporation, using Landsat images from 1972 to 1990. The image records Cairo at the delta apex, vegetation (red), urban expansion (yellow), development of large sand dunes (pink), coastal erosion (especially of the two promontories), and formation of salt pans (white, far right). Reclamation projects are draining what is left of lagoons and marshes (green). The Sweet Water Canal (red) extends from the eastern delta margin to the Suez Canal. Conversion of desert to agriculture along the delta margins is shown in light blue. Further explanations are presented in the accompanying article. Photo provided by D.J.

During the past 7000 years world deltas , susu~_~if including the Nile, have been in an overall construction phase. However, the Nile delta has converted to a destruction =-+ +.LU phase during the past 150 years, triggered by water regulation which has disrupted the balance among sediment influx, erosive effects of coastal processes, and subside nce.

The History attributed to Abu Salih the Armenian is here edited for the first time, by the kind permission of the Minister of Public Instruction and of the Administrator of the National Library in Paris, from the unique MS. purchased by Vansleb in Egypt in the seven- teenth century, and now preserved in that Institution. The present edition is based upon a copy made by the editor from the original, which he afterwards had the advantage of comparing with another copy most liberally placed at his disposal by M. l'Abbe Hyvernat, together with the results of a collation by Professor Ignazio Guidi. To these eminent scholars, therefore, the editor begs to express his deepest gratitude. Professor Margoliouth has also had the goodness to look through both the copy of the text and the translation, and to elucidate many points of difficulty.

Throughout their relatively https://www.peertechz.com short geological and hydrological history, the lakes received unpolluted fresh water from the river Nile. Egyptians have begun practicing some form of water management for agriculture and transportation since about 5,000 years ago. As a result of agricultural and industrial development over the last century, the lagoons have been the end points of the last Egyptian use of the Nile water before fl owing to the Mediterranean Sea; currently, the lakes receive fresh water from polluted drains infl ow. In the present investigation, we studied some common characters of the lakes; including the accumulation of Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Mn, Fe, and Al in water, surface sediments, Tilapia zillii fi sh, and the common reed, Phragmites austrlis.
