The tomb dating back more than 2,000 years was unearthed in the city of Akhmim and is believed to have belonged to a senior official. “It’s one of the most exciting discoveries ever in the area,” said Mostafa Waziri, secretary-gen- eral of the Supreme Council of Antiquities which sits within Mummies on display outside a newly-discovered tomb dating to the Ptolemaic era the ministry.

Egypt’s tourism industry has been struggling in recent years and the antiquities ministry said Friday’s presentation was intended to “draw the world’s attention to the civilisation and antiquities of Egypt”. The country’s plethora of heritage sites is a major draw for tourists and the ministry described Sohag as “one of the most historically rich cities in Egypt”, where a museum opened last year. Political instability and deadly attacks since the 2011 revolu- tion have led to a drop in visitor numbers, although there has been a slight recovery in recent years.

Those who believe networking is an easy way to create new transactions to be invoiced Batelco launches Microsoft Surface Pro 6 tomorrow or to solve immediate problems or find a new role are typically the worst networkers who invariably get least from networking. If you see other people as a means to an end, you will fail at building and sustaining an effective network. Real networking is about building relationships. When your networking is driven by substantive, shared interests, it will feel more authentic and meaningful and is more likely to lead to re- lationships that have those qualities too. Professional networks lead to broader and deeper knowledge as well as improved capacity to innovate. And of course, they also can lead to more job offers and new business opportunities. Remember we really benefit from the input of others as long as we approach them in a reflective and generative manner; future success comes from our interactions with others as we reflect on what they say.. A key factor affecting networking-effectiveness is believing you have something to offer to those around you. When people wish to share, and sense they have some power or they think they have a lot to offer to others such as wise advice, mentor- ship, access, then networking becomes second-nature. You almost certainly have something valuable to offer by thinking beyond the immediate cares and considerations of your current role. No matter how junior you are, you have something of interest for everyone in the room, including the chairman or CEO of your enterprise. If you feel you have too little to give, you will start to believe this is true. So ensure you have something to share before going into a session where you will be expected to network; you are not powerless. When you approach networking by think more about what you can give to others than what you can get from them, net- working will seem less self-promotional and more selfless—and therefore more worthy of your time.
