Egypt is a renowned tourist destination, mainly because of Pyramids and ancient history. The Nile River, the Suez Canal, the Sahar desert, the fantastic beaches, and many such places make Egypt one of the most preferred tourist spots in the world. Egypt is not known for being an expensive country. However, the high international roaming rates can break havoc on your budget. Consequently, as an international tourist, buying a local SIM card at your destination is the recommended method. A local SIM card is always a budget-friendly option while visiting this country whether for a short duration or long. Fortunately, top SIM cards are not that costly in Egypt.
You can buy an Egyptian SIM card for 25 EGP (Egyptian Pound) to 84 EGP. Tourist SIM cards are also available priced from 150 EGP to 780 EGP. Although tourist SIM cards are pricey, they include generous allowances which could be helpful for the tourists. Anybody can buy a SIM card in Egypt if they are 18 years or older. However, remember to comply with the country’s rules and regulations related to SIM card registration. In this article, you will learn about the best SIM card providers in Egypt one by one. There are four telecom operators in the country – Vodafone, Etisalat, Orange, and WE.
1. Vodafone Egypt
Vodafone Egypt is also known as Vodafone Misr, but it is commonly referred to as only Vodafone. It is the largest and the fastest mobile operator in the country making it the top choice for consumers. In Egypt, Vodafone operates on 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE frequencies. Although it has the best coverage in the country, its 4G/LTE reception is good only in populated areas. Vodafone SIM card is known as Kart El-Korout, and it is sold for a mere 25 EGP in all the official stores across Egypt.
Vodafone recharge vouchers are also available easily such as in official stores, electronic shops, corner shops, grocery stores, and so on. You can top up your Vodafone SIM using the POS (point of sale) system where you visit a retailer and ask them to reload your SIM card. There are a plethora of websites available where you can recharge using your international debit/credit card, too. Moreover, you can use the Ana Vodafone app—the official mobile application by Vodafone Egypt. The app is available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
2. Orange Egypt
Orange Egypt or Orange Misr is the second-largest telecom company that offers SIM cards in Egypt. It was known as Mobinil until 2016. The carrier is considered the fastest mobile network in the country by many. Orange also operates in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean Islands. In Egypt, it operates on 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE frequencies. It has extensive coverage throughout the country, especially in populated areas. But don’t expect any coverage in the desert areas. Orange SIM cards are conveniently available in all the Orange stores for 84 EGP. Its tourist SIM cards are also available in Orange stores and several airports for 150 EGP and more.
You can easily reload your Orange SIM via top-up vouchers, POS system, international debit/credit card, and My Orange Egypt app. The My Orange Egypt app is available on Google Play Store, AppGallery, and Apple App Store for all Android, Huawei, and Apple users respectively. Orange provides nine types of data-featured plans which includes combo plans, data-only plans, and add-ons. Out of all those, one plan named Go Extra Plans provides data to users strictly for playing games and using video streaming apps or services.
3. Etisalat Egypt
Etisalat Egypt is known as Etisalat Misr but is mainly recognized as only Etisalat among its users. It is the third-largest wireless carrier and provider of SIM cards in Egypt. The carrier entered the Egyptian telecom market in 2007. It was the first operator to launch 3G services in the country. It is a telecom giant from the United Arab Emirates that has operations in other countries of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Like its other competitors in Egypt, it operates on 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE frequencies. It offers great coverage throughout the country except in the desert areas. Among all the mobile operators in the country, Etisalat has the weakest signal reception.
Etisalat SIM cards are cheap, luckily. You can buy them in any official store for as low as 30 EGP. It also has tourist SIM cards for short-term visitors and tourists. Both regular and tourist SIM cards are also available at airports in Egypt. Although the Etisalat tourist SIM cards are expensive, they provide a range of high-volume data bundles and calling minutes. All the tourist SIM cards contain the validity of 30 days only. You can recharge using the top-up vouchers, POS system, international debit and credit cards, and My Etisalat app. The app is the official mobile application of the company available to Android and Apple users. Its regular SIM cards feature various plans: combos, data-only, and music, streaming, or gaming data.
WE is the smallest mobile telecom service provider in Egypt. It is a brand by Telecom Egypt. Telecom Egypt is the oldest telecom company in Egypt founded way back in 1854. It launched its mobile network division WE in 2017 after it managed to get a license for 4G/LTE in 2016. Later on, Telecom Egypt signed a national roaming deal with Etisalat Egypt and Orange Egypt and also an infrastructure deal with Vodafone Egypt as well. As WE has deals with all the mobile operators in the country, it is often considered the best carrier in terms of mobile network coverage. WE operates on 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE frequencies.
WE SIM cards are expensive. You will need to shell out almost 77 EGPs to buy one. It is available in all the WE/Telecom Egypt stores across the country. The SIM card gets deactivated automatically after 120 days of inactivity in active mode. To recharge your WE SIM, top-up vouchers are easily available in all the WE/Telecom Egypt stores, corner shops, electronic shops, and so forth. POS system and international debit/credit cards are also used to reload the WE SIM. Moreover, the My WE app is also available on both Play Store and App Store and lets users reload their WE prepaid SIM.

Growing up quite ordinary.
The middle child between two girls.
Quiet and shy like background noise.
But to grandma I was the world.
Like a tiny star shining bright.
Blanketing the beautiful sky.
A beacon strong with brilliant light.
She made me feel so good inside.
The middle child oft’ overlooked.
And what my grandma always said;
the best part of any sandwich -
is the stuffing between the bread.
Lots of memories I hold dear.
Of a time not so long ago.
And never, ever will I doubt;
how much my grandma loves me so.

As the glue that holds your family together, you probably know how hard it is to get everything done that needs to for your family. Between your children, significant other, animals, and life how the heck are you supposed to find time to take care of yourself?! You can’t even get 2 minutes of peace to go to the bathroom, feed yourself or make a phone call, so how can anyone expect you to find the time to go to the doctor for a check up? But like I said, you are the “glue”, so how can anything stay together if you aren’t well?
Have you ever heard of Healthgrades? Patients today use Healthgrades to find fair and honest information about Physicians and Hospitals throughout the United States. Healthgrades allows patients to make informed healthcare decisions. I’ve been using Healthgrades for awhile now. My Gynecologist told me about it actually! It’s super easy to use. You can find a doctor quickly by searching for their name, or a specialty and then a zip code. Healthgrades will then pull up Patient Satisfaction Feedback and an overview of the Dr’s specialties and background. If you like what you see, go ahead and check insurance plans, the Doctor’s location(s) and even make an appointment!
Healthgrades is advocating for Women’s health. The 2013 Heathgrades’ Women’s Health Report was just released and I encourage you to download and read the report – Women’s Health Report. They are encouraging all women of all walks of life to “lean in” and educate themselves about their health and healthcare. Doing so will help you understand the risks and complications of your choices.
With diabetes, heart disease and cancer running in my family, I make sure to take care of my health and the health of my family members. I try to stay up-to-date with healthcare and medical information. The Women’s Health Report gives information about options and complications of Maternity & Child Birth, Gynecological surgery, Bone & Joint health and Cardiovascular health. Women and men are unique alike and it is important that we be our own advocates.
I was pretty shocked at the Infant Mortality rate that was disclosed in the report. We have made so many advances as a country in the the way of care, yet the United States ranks #27 out of 30 nations! A high infant mortality rate is an indicator of poor maternity care programs and initiatives.
The Women’s Health Report lists hospitals in 18 states that have been awarded the Healthgrades Women’s Health Excellence Aware for 2013. Is your hospital listed? I was shocked to see that a local hospital that I had a poor opinion of was, yet the hospital I delivered both of my children in was not.

First Amendment attorney Chris Beall said Monday he will ask the state Supreme Court to take up the issue of whether Colorado’s open-meetings law allows public bodies to cast secret ballots.
In 2009 and 2010, the Fort Morgan City Council held open meetings but voted anonymously when filling an empty municipal judge’s seat and council vacancies.
A court of appeals last week sided with the city, pointing out that nothing in current law says the public has a right to know how elected officials vote.
Beall, who represents the Fort Morgan man who objected to the secret balloting at the district- and appeals-court level, said his client has decided to move forward with the lawsuit.
If the appeals-court ruling stands, it could affect the transparency of all levels of government, Beall said. “It’s a matter of statewide concern, of significant importance to all levels of government.”

Burger King has begun its search for a new agency to replace Crispin Porter + Bogusky, its lead creative shop since 2004.
BK is managing the review on its own, without the use of an outside consultant, a BK representative said. The Miami-based client, which spends more than $300 million annually in major measured media, hopes to select a new shop by June. Further details were not immediately available.
Beyond traditional and digital creative efforts, Crispin handles media planning and “will continue to work on the business until we have a new agency in place,” the rep said.
In an earlier statement Friday morning, the marketer and agency noted their past “innovative and engaging” campaigns, which ranged from the interactive “Subservient Chicken” to ads featuring a character wearing a Burger King mask. The statement, however, offered no explanation for the split.
The review does not include media buying duties, currently at WPP Group’s Mindshare.
The search comes six months after 3G Capital acquired Burger King Holdings for an estimated $3.2 billion. That deal led to the installation of a new CEO and a shakeup in BK’s marketing ranks.
Global chief marketing officer Natalia Franco left in February, after less than a year on the job. Her duties were absorbed by Jonathan Fitzpatrick in the new role of evp, chief brand and operations officer.
In that role, Fitzpatrick manages operations, marketing, global research and development, product development and global brand management, according to BK. Previously, he had been evp of global operations.

This evening (Tuesday, 16th October, 2012) the IPRT responded with shock and deep concern at the findings of the Inspector of Prison’s Report on an Inspector of St. Patrick’s Institution for Young Offenders. The report unveils systematic violation of the human rights of children and young people in the prison, including:
- Forced stripping and clothes being cut from boys and young men when being held in Special Cells. The Inspector refers to the fact that this is especially serious where many of the prisoners in St. Patrick’s may have previously been the victims of physical and/or sexual abuse.
- Inappropriate and excessive use of Special Cells in violation of the Irish Prison Service’s own guidelines and rules.
- Excessive and unrecorded use of force by staff against prisoners, in violation of the Irish Prison Service’s own guidelines and rules; disproportionate number of under-18s being relocated using control and restraint (C&R) techniques.
- Excessive and unauthorised punishment of prisoners, including denying children family visits or phone calls. The Inspector also found practices of undocumented “isolation” of a number of prisoners in solitary confinement for 56 days following an incident at the prison.
- Bullying and intimidation of young and vulnerable inmates by some staff, and indifference to concerns of inmates, including emergency calls for help. The report records a number of prisoners who were experiencing severe distress and who were afraid to communicate what had happened to them.
- A completely deficient complaints system where no complaint by a prisoner was upheld, even where prison management had acknowledged that staff had behaved inappropriately. A study of some cases suggested widespread intimidation of prisoners wishing to make a complaint.
- At a general level, the Inspector also found serious deficiencies in attendance at school, access to healthcare and the availability of training. He also found many parts of the prison cold and dirty.
Responding this evening, IPRT Executive Director, Liam Herrick said:
“As far back as 1985, the Whitaker Report recommended the closing of St. Patrick's Institution. The range of violation of the rights of inmates detailed in the Inspector of Prisons' 2012 Report is so broad, and the problems so deep-rooted, that IPRT believes this report calls into question the viability of continuing to operate the prison.It is a completely unacceptable way to treat any prisoners, least of all young people.”
“The depiction of terrified boys and young men afraid to report assaults that they have suffered is chilling. That this could happen in the 21st century to children and young people anywhere is shocking. That it could happen in Ireland, with all that we know about institutional abuse and the impact it has on children, is an absolute national disgrace.“
“The Minister for Justice has stated that he intends to introduce primary legislation for the purpose of closing St. Patrick’s Institution as a detention centre for offenders aged 21 and under. IPRT looks forward to more detail, including a timeline, on these proposals."
IPRT notes that a new Governor has been appointed to St. Patrick’s Institution and IPRT acknowledges the efforts of new management to address the systemic problems in the prison. However, the extent of the problems unveiled in this report are so serious, they demand a wide range of further action, including – but not limited to:
- A review of the viability of operating St Patrick's Institution into the future
- The bringing forward of the 2014 timeline for ending the detention of under-18s in that prison
- The identification and removal of staff found to have bulled and intimidated prisoners in the prison
- A strategy to reduce - with urgency - the extremely high levels of protection and 23-hour lock up used in the prison, considering its particularly negative impact on the mental health of children and young people
- The creation of a new committal area is positive, but at this point the IPS still cannot provide a necessary High Support Unit or provide satisfactory clothing for prisoners.

NOTES FOR EDITORS:
1. Figures from 13th July 2012
- 217 prisoners in total in St Patrick's Institution
- 66 of these were on protection (30%)
- 51 of those were on a restricted regime (this number had risen by 16% within a 7 month period)
- 49 of those on the restricted regime spent 20-22 hours per day locked up. The remaining 2 spent 22-23 hours a day in their cells.
- The Institution is responsible for a third of all assaults in the prison system.
IPRT previously welcomed that since August 2012 16-year olds are no longer detained in the Institution; IPRT also welcomed the extension in June 2012 of the complaints remit of the Ombudsman for Children to include the 17-year old boys who are detained in the prison. However, given the shocking findings in this report, and as echoed by the Inspector within the report, the timeline of 2014 for bringing to a complete end the detention of children in St Patrick's Institution must be revisited – with urgency.

Contemporary interior design is extremely multi-faceted. Designs and styles are being blended in bold new ways. Kährs Supreme is a range of strikingly beautiful floors in two unique collections, with focus on different design and expression.
A common denominator for these collections is the high level of attention to detail and the exquisite craftsmanship behind each and every board. We have combined Kährs’ century-long tradition of wood floor manufacturing with experienced craftsmanship from the most talented professionals. These floors have a very distinctive appearance.
An audacious collection, Shine Collection consists of eight floors in a variety of Oak, Beech and Ash. A durable, high gloss, lacquer sheen offers a reflective finish, while a metallic infused wood grain adds to the unique, daring character of the collection.
Intricate patterns characterized by a mixture of traditional charm and modern styling.
Chose laminate flooring to replace carpet over slab. Installers did not level the slab before putting product down. They were using metal framing hammers and breaking the edges. The laminate floor product was also not manufactured correctly. Contacted SD Flooring within 2 weeks concerning the floor buckling up. Many empty promises, no show repairmen, and being strung out. After 7 months of runaround I contacted the CALIFORNIA CONTRACTORS LICENSING BOARD to file a complaint at no cost to us. Finally got the owner's attention and he sent over a workman that had over 20 years experience to remove, float the slab and install a different laminate. We are now happy with the flooring and the very professional job that Juan did for us. Too bad the company didn't provide this level of service to begin with. Based on the lack of integrity and service I would strongly recommend using a different company. - By Anne A
I highly do NOT recommend SD flooring! The countertops were installed and were two completely different colors! It’s been months trying to get it fixed. They have no customer service, are highly unreliable and we are extremely disappointed! - By Alyssa W
I had a good experience with SD Flooring Center & Design. I had done work with them about 6 months ago they offered some good quality products. Most recently, there was a little change on the pricing, but everything else was definitely great. Overall, I enjoyed the customer-friendly staff and they were very easy to work with. They offer good quality products and I'm happy to be a customer for them. - By Jeff F

When Waves Tune Real-Time detects that a note has changed from the previous one, Note Transition determines how fast correction will be applied.
Set the control according to what you wish to accomplish. Setting Note Transition to fast value results in pitch changes that may sound jumpy and quantized. Further, slower values may provide smoother transitions and preserve the glissando without compromising the sustain tightness. Moreover, the transition time can be set in 0.1ms steps.
Range: 0.1–800 ms
Default: 120 ms
Link ties together the movement of the Speed and Note Transition controls.
Sets the correction speed, in milliseconds. It defines the attack in correcting a sustained pitch that’s drifting out of tune. Faster values result in rapid corrections that can flatten most of the pitch contours from the source. With slower values, Waves Tune Real-Time takes longer to correct to
the target note.
Range: 0.1–800 ms, logarithmic, in 0.1-ms steps
Default: 15 ms

The Dynamics of Nestedness Predicts the Evolution of Industrial Ecosystems
Decades of research in ecology have shown that nestedness is a ubiquitous characteristic of both, biological and economic ecosystems. The dynamics of nestedness, however, have rarely been observed. Here we show that the nestedness of both, the network connecting countries to the products that they export and the network connecting municipalities to the industries that are present in them, remains constant over time. Moreover, we find that the conservation of nestedness is sustained by both, a bias for industries that deviate from the networks' nestedness to disappear, and a bias for the industries that are missing according to nestedness to appear. This makes the appearance and disappearance of individual industries in each location predictable. The conservation of nestedness in industrial ecosystems, and the predictability implied by it, demonstrates the importance of industrial ecosystems in the long term survival of economic activities.

What I Meant was…
In Deborah Tannen’s article, “But What Do You Mean?” she enumerates seven different ways that women and men tend to have a kind of struggle. Tannen discusses how the men and women have different ways of speaking. The seven main differences are classified and divided into: apologies, criticism, thank-yous, fighting, praise, complaints, and jokes. First, men don’t correctly interpret apologies; they often implicate blame with apology, synonymous with putting oneself down. On the other hand, women apologize to calm other people. Second, criticism from men is straight and without a filter; women do not go as hard in their criticisms in order to not destroy that people feelings. Third, most of women use “thanks” automatically; it is easy for them to express their gratitude, although for men it doesn’t work like that. Fourth, during discussion of ideas, men would go as tough and merciless as they can, arguing every opinion or idea in the strongest terms. On the other hand, women would take that arguing as a personal attack. Fifth, men believe that the fact of saying nothing is a way to praise, while women every time they think they have done a good job, praise is expected. Sixth, men interpret complaints as a way to request the solution of a problem; women complain in order to sympathize and feel sorry for other people. Seventh and last, the sense of humor is also different. Sometimes women can view men’s jokes as being offensive. Men’s humor consists more of
In the first excerpt Deborah Tannen wrote “But What Do You Mean?”, she breaks down and classifies the conversational areas where men and women have the most difficulties communication. Tannen’s excerpt is written from a personal point of view, it is written within her daily workplace and based off actions or events she encounters between men and women. Tannen argues that men tend to be more confrontational when communication and women happen to approach confrontation in a subtle way. Men are direct and to the point, while women try to negotiate. In the excerpt Tannen breaks her argument into 7 sperate
In the video lecture presented by Deborah Tannen, He Said, She Said, Tannen emphasizes that men and women grow up in very different social worlds. When boys grow up, they learn that there is often going to be an inequality of force in any conversation. For girls, however, they feel that equality is very important and that it needs to be enforced through sympathy-based bonding. As adults, these different messages behind socialization can often lead to confusion, miscommunication, and, sometimes, hurt feelings. Tannen explores the difficulties of cross-gender communication and how we can overcome them by understanding where these conversational rituals come from. As a reflection on Tannen’s lecture, this paper will analyze how the different developments of boys and girls lead to the different views men and women have on the world. First of all, childhood and friendship is perceived differently by each gender.
Deborah Tannen’s essay “But What Do You Mean?” focuses on what she claims are differences between men and women when it comes to social interaction. The essay is sectioned into seven categories, in which she talks about how men and women tend to think and react when it comes to apologizing, criticizing, thanking, fighting, praising, complaining, and joking with others. In general, she seems to promote the idea that women tend to be more polite and refined, considering the feelings of others when conversing and taking everything as a formality. In contrast, men are apparently more blunt, taking a more direct approach with matters and being more unconcerned with how they may affect others. Women tend to automatically apologize and thank others
A short essay “ Guys vs. “Men” written by Dave Barry, presents Dave’s perception on the difference between “Guys” and “Men”. Dave presents his essay in a comical way that generalizes the “men” vs. “guys” and also gender biased generalization. Dave argues that men hold too much of responsibilities and many expectations in which guys do not and they live happier life. One of the methods he uses to support his argument is a comparison. Other method he uses is the description of how he views “men” vs. “guys” and gives his perspective. And the last method he uses to further his argument is the use of hyperbole, exaggeration through out the essay.
In the article, "For Argument’s Sake: Why Do We Feel Compelled to Fight About Everything? Witten by Deborah Tannen. She express that we live in an argumentative culture, where everyone is entitled to their own freedom of speech and rights. Tannen shows that arguments rarely lead to an understanding, but rather that an argument becomes less about the topic at hand and more about proving the opposing side wrong ( Tannen, Deborah(,2008). She tells her stories in many different form to gather the audience’s attention. She then starts to use big words and different logics to appeal to a more intellectual audience. She then starts her stories by manipulating and persuading the unintelligent audience to pull them in so they would know that she is insulting them by using the bigger words, making them feel intimidated.
In the essay, “But What Do You Mean?” author and linguistic expert Deborah Tannen argues her feelings on how men and women vary in their use of conversational “rituals.” She states that males have a tendency to use wording to sustain dominance in conversation; however, women seem to take in to account the feelings of others. Tannen identifies seven categories in which men and women differ in communication. First, women use apologies to assure other people. Men can misapprehend these apologies as taking blame rather than as the ritual reassurance that women mean for it to be perceived. This supports what Tannen says in her essay, “But there are times when ‘I’m sorry’ isn’t self-deprecating or even an apology” (Tannen 380). Second, men are more straight-forward when criticizing more than women; women “soften” their criticism with the purpose of sparing the feelings of the person they are criticizing. Third, women often say “thank you” ritualistically, most of the time to equate the two in the conversation. Fourth, men enjoy “verbally sparring” more than women. Because of this difference, women are under the impression that they are usually condemned in a conversation. Fifth, women and men use praise differently. Women tend to expect praise open-heartedly when they are praised. Men, on the other hand, often confuse that not criticizing is praise enough. Sixth, women converse their complications in order to share their experiences; they complain not to solve their
In the essay Sex, Lies, and Conversation Deborah Tannen focuses on the differences and lack of communication between men and women though observations. She came to the conclusion that men were not lacking in their listening, but they were however listening in a different way than the women did. On the other hand, men aren’t the only people that have terrible communication skills. In many ways, these differences between the two genders can cause major conflict when not understood by the opposite side. A few examples of lack of communication may be when women don’t decide where they would like to eat, men who walk away from an argument rather than talking it out, and their decision making processes.
Tannen (1994) suggests that the two sexes have very different modes of communication, and she suggests that in fact, communication between man and woman should be viewed as inter-cultural communication. She also has given set of differentiations: (1) Men live in a world of hierarchy; women live in a world of connection. (2) Men require individuality and freedom; women require intimacy and familiarity. (3) Men live in a world of action; women live in a world of feeling.(p,67) The issue Tannen tries to address is that sometimes women and men don’t understand each other because they come from different cultures. These findings on gender stereotypes offer a great help to them for understanding each other and thus enhance their relationship. Women
The article, “But What Do You Mean?”, explains in general how men and women act differently and how it has effects on each individual. The quote, “When both parties share blame, it’s a mutual face-saving device. But if one person, usually the woman, utters frequent apologies and the other doesn’t, she ends up looking as if she’s taking the blame for mishaps that aren’t her fault. When she’s only partially to blame, she looks entirely in the wrong. ” explains the one of the behaviours of women. Women usually apologises as a way of showing the friendliness between them but it 's seemed as a weakness among men. Women also take half the blame to show the mutual situation but the opposite gender tends to see it in a different. “When I 'm with men, wit it cleverness seems inappropriate (or) lost! so I don 't bother.” also verifies that the behaviours between women and men are different as well as the humours. Men use insults as a way to appreciate the other person while women take it as an aggressive way of presenting the idea. Because the way men and women act is different or the way they feel is different, it can get difficult to communicate between men and women. What we should do is to be
Kinzel and Solnit both aimed their articles at the male population to point out an issue that is usually swept under the rug. A man being the intended audience strongly affects the argument because they are the ones that the authors have a problem with. They want to get their point across but need to do it in a way that does not anger the reader. Kinzel shows her great understanding of the issue by talking about how women are capable of this type of attitude. She even describes her behavior in situations like this “I’ve always called it “lecture mode,” and I even have this habit where I take a deep, semi-dramatic breath before it shifts on, and I begin, on the exhale, with, “Well--” I always begin with “Well--” and I always conclude with, “Does that make sense?” (Kinzel). By acknowledging this male readers are more receptive to her message and more likely to be open minded.
In order to be able to solve some of the problems associated with gender miscommunications, we should distinguish first between the two different types of communications: verbal communication and nonverbal communication. Verbal communication consists of messages expressed by linguistic means such as the use of intonation, the specific words we choose to say, and the way we are saying them. There are differences in females and males usage of language/verbal communication. As we might expect from traditional sex-role stereotypes, girls tend to establish more egalitarian same-sex groups. Girls use friendly groups as a training ground for cooperation. Boys view friendly conversation among their friends as training for verbal aggression. Females are more verbal, use three times more amount of words than males, they are much more descriptive and use more adjectives. Women are less direct in their communication style. As Prof. Tannen showed in one of her research, women are more indirect in answering questions depends on the situation. They answer questions the way they would like to be answered by men, which means more than just a yes/no answer. However, men answer the way they would like to be answered
Communication between males and females has always been somewhat complicated. Because we are arguing that males and females have different cultures we wanted to take a look at what some of these differences might be. According to our research the inherent differences between male and female culture are the different roles that society holds for them and the ways these roles lead to different communication styles. The stereotypes that men and women grow up with affect the types of ways in which they communicate. We first wanted to take a look at how they specifically differ while men and women are arguing or having normal conversations. We also looked at the different types of networks that men and women
There exists a disparity in the communication phenomenon between men and women. This disparity according to scholars can be attributed to the male dominance in the society today and relationship tensions between couples. A study on cross-sex conversations showed that, when men and women engage in a friendly conversation, they do so as equals but they do not play the same roles in the communication. Women tend to ask more questions and likely to utter utterances that encourage responses from the other speaker. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to interrupt their partner’s conversations and make direct opinions and facts to control or dominate the conversation. Thus, the communication phenomenon between men and women is strikingly distinct.
Deborah Tannen is the author of the book You Just Don't Understand where she analyzes the different meanings of communication between men and women. Her research shows that women and men use the same words and phrases and yet can interpret and react to those same words and phrases differently. Tannen compares the two sexes to find men use their conversation as a type of competition or to preserve their independence. For example, men talk about their knowledge regarding sports, cars, women, exc. Meanwhile, women try to foster intimacy through communication. For instance, women often talk and relate on a personal level. Throughout Tannen's book she uses "cross-cultural communication" to describe the differences between the language of

Silicon CMOS compatible transition metal oxide tec.. (SITOGA)
Silicon CMOS compatible transition metal oxide technology for boosting highly integrated photonic devices with disruptive performance
Start date: Dec 1, 2013,
End date: Nov 30, 2016
The SITOGA project will address for the first time the integration of transition metal oxides (TMO) materials in silicon photonics and CMOS electronics. TMOs have unique electro-optical properties that will offer unprecedented and novel capabilities to the silicon platform. SITOGA will focus on two disruptive TMO materials, barium titanate (BaTiO3) and vanadium oxide (VO2), for developing advanced photonic integrated devices for a wide range of applications. First, breakthrough photonic devices will be fabricated using the TMOs. Due to its ultra-high linear electro-optical coefficient, BaTiO3 will be used to develop an electro-optical modulator with bandwidth above 40GHz and drive voltage below 2V. The electrically-triggered, ultra-large change in VO2 refractive index will be exploited to build an electro-optical switching component with power consumption below 10µW and footprint below 50 µm2.The integration of the TMOs and their photonic devices on silicon will be performed with CMOS compatible techniques. Innovative integration processes with silicon photonics circuits and CMOS electronics will be targeted. The whole technology chain will be validated by two functional demonstrators: a 40Gbit/s DPSK transceiver and an 8x8 switching matrix with 100Gbit/s throughput. Furthermore, to fully exploit the unique potential of SITOGA approach, we will also investigate novel electro-optical effects in integrated TMO devices (i.e. bistability) in a more exploratory part.SITOGA situates at the forefront of technological innovation, offering as well the capacity through its consortium members to translate innovation into commercial products. To ensure high commercial impact, a clear path towards exploitation of the developed TMO/Si technology has been defined and will be pursued in the project.

For a tablet, the Samsung Series 7 Slate PC is a bit hefty, but it still hits the spot for those who want a device that marries portability and power. It weighs a substantial 1.8 pounds and measures 11.6 X 7.2 X 0.5 inches, yet it is equipped with a Core i5 processor and a 128GB solid state drive. Fast Start Technology graces the Slate’s interface, making it extra touch-friendly and SuperBright Plus Technology brilliantly enhances its 11.6 1366 X 768 HD LED backlit display – in fact the screen has been reported by users as being extremely easy to navigate, even been fishing through tiny desktop icons.
The Series 7 comes with a Wacom stylus, too, which provides for highly accurate writing in both Windows Journal and Paint, and when not using the pen, the Bluetooth keyboard accomplishes the job quite well with large, smooth, matte keys that feel cozy-to-the-touch.
The spotlight feature of this tablet – and what distinguishes it from others – is the Samsung Touch Launcher, which can be launched via the Windows button on the tablet’s bezel. A chic, glossy interface is showcased with big enough touch-optimized icons on a 5 X 4 grid that the navigation experience is totally seamless and fluid.
Power specs on this tabby include a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 2467M CPU with 4GB of RAM, lending it a boot-up time of about 29 seconds for Windows 7 Home Premium and wake-from-sleep time as about 3 seconds flat.
The only quirk on the Slate is its fan, which becomes a bit too loud for liking at times, and can be distracting to some users. Other than that, this new tablet definitely proves that Windows is still in the slate competition, and maintaining a decent pace alongside Android and iOS tablets.

The aim of this study was the determination of lead ion concentration by carbon paste ion selective electrode. The electrode response characteristics have been investigated. The Carbon Paste Electrode (CPE) contains graphite powder, nanoparticles, ionophore and ionic liquid. The potential measurements were carried out with a potentiometer. The selectivity of the electrode towards different cationic species was evaluated by Separate Solution Method (SSM). Among the different compositions studied, the carbon paste incorporating 60% Graphite powder, 29% ionic liquid, 5% ionophore and 6% nanoparticles exhibit the best response characteristics. The electrode exhibits a linear response to Pb (II) over a concentration range (1.0 × 10−6 – 1.0 × 10−2) with a Nernstian slope of 29.8 mV per decade. It has a short response time (about 5 s). The detection limit of this electrode was 5.49 × 10−7 M. The potential remained unchanged in the range of pH between 7-11. The suggested electrode was successfully used as an indicator for potentiometric determination of Pb (II) in water samples. It was defined by good analytical parameters: low detection limit, high sensitivity, wide measuring range, wide pH range. All selected cations would not affect the selectivity of the present lead electrode.

Railroad Passenger and Baggage Cars
Bessemer & Lake Erie 25
Bessemer & Lake Erie 25 is an all-steel combine, or combination passenger-baggage car. It was built for use between Pittsburgh and Erie, Pennsylvania. After it was retired, it was modified for use as a “camp car” on the Elgin Joliet & Eastern but it has been restored to original configuration by IRM. It is the only ex-B&LE piece of equipment preserved at IRM.

What was the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad?
The Bessemer & Lake Erie, or B&LE, was founded in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie and was formed from a merger of several smaller lines. It was intended to be a route for Carnegie Steel Company (later United States Steel, or USS) products to be shipped from mills in the Pittsburgh, PA, area north to ports on Lake Erie at Erie, PA, and Connaught, OH. This provided a rail and water route for USS products from Pittsburgh directly to ports throughout the Great Lakes. Most traffic on the B&LE was freight traffic, and the railroad was known for a roster replete with heavy drag freight locomotives, but the railroad did also run some passenger service. B&LE 25 was built by Pressed Steel Car Company, a manufacturer based in Pittsburgh.
The B&LE remained associated with USS into the early 2000s, which is why this combine ended up being sold to the Elgin Joliet & Eastern, another USS-owned railroad. The B&LE was sold to Canadian National in 2004.


text: Cervical cancer is one of the many common cancers in women world-wide, being high-risk group the HPV contaminated, the primary etiological factor. an elevated vascularization from the tumors utilizing a CAM assay. Furthermore, RKIP inhibition induced cervical cancers cells apoptotic level of resistance to cisplatin treatment. To conclude, we defined that RKIP proteins is normally considerably depleted through the malignant development of cervical tumors. Despite the lack of association with patient clinical end result, we demonstrate, and condition for cervical PIK-75 malignancy development. HPVs infect epithelial cells and cause a variety of lesions ranging from common warts to cervical neoplasia and malignancy C. Tumors of the cervix are divided into ETS2 three different histological subtypes: Uterine squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) is the most frequent, followed by adenocarcinoma (AC) and adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC), which is an uncommon subtype . HPV illness alone is not plenty of for triggering cervical malignancy and HPV-mediated oncogenesis also requires the build up of additional genetic changes that happen over time following initial illness . It may take several years for an neoplasm to progress to an invasive carcinoma. The mechanism of clonal development, which entails the selection of cells with invasive or metastatic potential, also remains unsolved. Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP; also known as PEBP1, for phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein1), as indicated from the name, was first identified as the endogenous inhibitor of the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, inhibiting Raf-1 activation C. Actually, RKIP has been implicated in various intracellular signaling pathways that control cell growth , , motility , , epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)  and differentiation . RKIP is definitely widely indicated in normal human being cells, PIK-75 highlighting its part in various physiologic processes , but is considered to be a metastasis suppressor in malignancy , becoming its loss or reduced manifestation associated with malignancy and prognosis in many types of metastatic and aggressive cancers , , C. A earlier study, done in a small fraction of individuals, found by manifestation microarray analysis that RKIP is one of the genes that is differentially indicated between tumor samples from cervical malignancy individuals with or without lymph node metastasis . More recently, it was found in a large series of individuals that RKIP protein is significantly downregulated in cervical malignancy and lymph node metastasis . Additionally, another study with HeLa cervical malignancy cells showed that RKIP, through regulation of the ERK pathway, has an important part in mitotic checkpoint rules . Hence, the previous findings, prompted us to elucidate the biological part of RKIP in cervical malignancy malignant progression and chemotherapy response. Therefore, we 1st assessed the manifestation levels of RKIP protein in both non-malignant and tumoral cervical samples, and assessed its part in the medical end result of cervical malignancy individuals. Secondly, we PIK-75 assessed and the biological function of RKIP downregulation in cervical cancer malignancy and chemotherapy response. Materials PIK-75 and Methods Cells Samples For the present work, 259 cervical cells were analyzed, which included 45 cervicitis, 47 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), 43 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), 70 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), 41 adenocarcinomas (AC) and 13 adenosquamous carcinomas (ASC) (Table 1). The paraffin samples comprising the cervical non-malignant lesions were retrieved from your files of the Pathology division of Adolfo Lutz Institute S?o Paulo, Brazil, and the invasive cervical tumor samples were retrieved from Arajo Jorge Hospital and School of Medicine of the Federal government University or college of Gois (Goiania, Goias State, Brazil). All histopathological diagnoses were reviewed from the authors and categorized according to the WHO classification. All individuals with cervical malignancy were females of Brazilian source, having a mean age of 49 years (range 23C74 years). Follow-up data was available for 72 individuals, and collected through direct interview with individuals or their relatives, and by review of in-hospital patient documents. The median follow-up time (overall survival) was 35.542.0 months (range, 2C144 months). Table 1 RKIP manifestation in cervical lesions. All the samples enrolled in the present study were unlinked and unidentified using their donors. Due the retrospective nature of the study, no written educated consent from PIK-75 individuals was obtained. The Local Honest Review Committees of the involved organizations (Ethics committee in Human being Study of Adolfo Lutz Institute S?o Paulo and of Arajo Jorge Hospital from School of Medicine of the Federal government University or college of Gois, Brazil) authorized the work and waived the need for written informed consent. Cell Lines For the present study it were used three cervical carcinoma cell lines: HeLa cell collection, kindly provided by Dra Elsa Logarinho (IBMC, Portugal) , SiHa and C-33A cell lines that were kindly provided by Dra Luisa Villa (INCT-HPV, Brazil) ..

This one-volume, comprehensive textbook of neurological surgery represents an atavistic return to an earlier day of writing in which one author, and one author only, attempted to set forth his entire storehouse of clinical knowledge in one definitive textbook. The author, Mr. D.W.C. Northfield of Latimer, "Bucks," England, graciously acknowledges the suggestions made by his colleagues. However, each of the 24 chapters in this book is written by one man, the author, and they cover such diverse subjects as special investigations (radiology), electroencephalography, gamma-encephalography, and neuropathology.
In this age of multiple-authored textbooks in which the senior author acts as the collector and editor, perhaps adding a chapter or two of his own, this book is unique. How well has the author managed to convey his personal wealth of information? I think he has done it beautifully. He graciously acknowledges his debt to his teacher, Sir Hugh Cairns of Oxford, England,

text: Uncontrolled cellular proliferation is a hallmark of cancer. Thus, a relevant and important question is how cancer cells have escaped from normal growth regulatory mechanisms to become malignant and, further, what events favor progression and metastasis. Growth regulatory proteins of the transforming growth factor-beta family (TGF-beta) are one of the few classes of endogenous inhibitors of cell growth. Contrary to the first notion that these proteins may be downregulated in cancer cells to promote their growth, generally it has been otherwise found that there is a marked increase in the expression of TGF-beta mRNA and protein in human cancers (in vivo), including those of the pancreas, colon, stomach, lung, endometrium, prostate, breast, brain, and bone. Furthermore, in many of these cancers high expression correlates with more advanced stages of malignancy and decreased survival. The increased expression of TGF-beta is usually accompanied by a loss in the growth inhibitory response to TGF-beta. For example, certain tumor cells in culture (i.e., colon carcinoma and glioblastoma multiforme) demonstrate a progressive loss of the growth inhibitory response to TGF-beta that varies directly with the malignant stage of the original tumor, and the most aggressive forms actually switch to being autocrine and/or paracrine growth stimulated by TGF-beta. The study of the molecular events associated with the escape of tumor cells from growth regulation by TGF-beta has provided insight into mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis. The mechanisms for upregulation of TGF-beta are unknown. However, once malignant cells lose their growth inhibitory response to TGF-beta and produce massive amounts of these proteins, the increased expression of TGF-beta provides a selective advantage for tumor cell survival as TGF-betas are also angiogenic and have potent immunosuppressive effects, including specifically inhibiting tumoricidal natural and lymphocyte-activated killer cells. In light of the significant role for TGF-betas in regulating cell growth, it is not surprising that in more recent years studies have shown that specific genetic alterations involved in the signaling pathway for TGF-beta-mediated growth inhibition have occurred in many human cancers. Specific defects in TGF-beta receptors, TGF-beta-related-signal transduction/gene activation, and TGF-beta-regulated cell cycle proteins, have all been implicated in the oncogenesis of many human cancers. In this context, components of the TGF-beta growth response pathway are considered to be tumor suppressor genes, as absence (or malfunction) of one or more receptors or signaling proteins would have the potential to cause loss of growth regulation. More recently, the posttranslational reduction of levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI), p27kip1, which mediates TGF-beta growth inhibition, provides an additional means for cancer cells to escape negative growth regulation by TGF-beta. This review provides background information on TGF-beta and updates the status of our knowledge of the role for TGF-beta in specific human malignancies. Understanding the molecular events involved in TGF-beta function in normal cells and its lack of function in tumor cells should identify novel therapeutic targets in human cancers.

The motto for building super high efficiency homes is “build tight, ventilate right”. When most people think of passive solar homes, they think of the homes built in the 70’s with huge south facing windows and concrete or stone inside the house for “thermal mass”. These homes were often epic failures in that they got way too hot in the summer and were very difficult to control. We’ve learned a lot since then.
Modern Passive Solar Design uses just the right amount of south facing windows. Instead of using thermal mass to store the sun’s heat, we simply don’t let the hot air escape by making the home extremely air tight. While it’s great to keep all of the hot air in the home in the winter, we still need fresh air to breathe. So we add a controlled mechanical ventilation system that ensures just the right amount of fresh air makes it into the house. This system, called an Energy Recovery Ventilator or ERV, moves fresh air into the home while exhausting stale air. A heat exchanger in the ERV uses the heat from the stale air being exhausted to warm the incoming fresh air, saving valuable heat in the winter. In the summer, we bypass the heat exchanger and bring in the cooler night time air to keep the home comfortable.
In addition to the ERV, Geos homes utilize “Earth Tube” technology from EcoAir. Earth Tubes are a simple concept where you lay a 8” diameter pipe around the entire foundation of the house at 5 to 7’ deep. Since the basement has already been excavated, it’s simple to install the pipe. One end of the pipe is brought to the surface. This is the intake. The other end of the pipe enters the house into the mechanical room. Instead of the ERV pulling fresh air into the home directly, the outside air is drawn through the Earth Tubes. Since the temperature of the earth at that depth is typically at a constant 55 degrees, the Earth Tubes can pre-condition the incoming air to the home. In the winter, the Earth Tubes warm up the cold outside air, and in the summer, they cool the hot outside air. When you combine the optimized shading from window overhangs and trees with the Earth Tubes, Geos homes maintain a comfortable temperature all summer long without the need for air conditioning.

“Ingredients of Life” is a reflection of thoughts following me since I started my MA in documentary photography in London. Our first judgement is based on appearance and this glimpse of a second when we decide, “Yes” or “No”. This series originated with my curiosity concerning different cultures and behaviours as well as food.
In autumn 2013 I started living a different lifestyle about nutrition and began to prepare “Seitan” a simple base, where all the starch is squeezed out of cheap white flour. I quickly added different ingredients and was amazed by the diversity one could make out of such a simple construct.
Life is the same.
Scientifically, we are all the same, and purity is not existing, if we could identify all the ethnicities we inherent, no racism would exist; because no race would exist. Seitan gets its unique taste by adding ingredients” which therefore create a different taste. Even the shape is all the time different unable to control.
Maybe it’s true, but maybe I made this story up. To confuse. To Question. To Reflect. Documentary photography, with telling true stories, in many different ways is the starting point I take. Meanwhile, many projects call themselves “documentary”, changing the status quo. It is good, that approaches are changing as people do and reality does.
I just fear that this trend is taking quality out of photography and blurs the lines between documenting and creating art. With all respects to artistic photography and the values it represents, one has to draw a line to distinguish. With a “trustworthy” concept, the artistic skills, which define photography, are often left behind.
Concept is key and trendy.
Anyway, on the other side, I often ask myself about some exhibited artwork in well-known galleries. When I tell my friends: “I can do this”, I often get the remark: “But you didn’t”. Why is art defined by who did something some when, first, if it’s so easy to recreate?
I define art by the genius mind and the artistic skills someone’s had. Another argument could be that I don’t understand the idea, however, here is my art. I photographed Seitan pancakes. I claim to be the first one. If you want a concept to make it more attractive, as just photographs of Seitan pancakes, take the first three paragraphs up there.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
A Myers Park family got an unexpected surprise this Christmas. They returned home and found $50,000 worth of jewelry and electronics stolen.
“My wife had gone upstairs to put her earrings away and noticed her jewelry box was missing," said Jeff Cooper.
He said the thief appeared to have taken one of his pillow cases to help steal jewelry and precious heirlooms. Computers and iPads were also stolen and Cooper said the total loss was around $50,000.
"It was the one night that we happened to go out of town and they got us." he said.
Phillip Green lives just a few houses down and came home around the same time as the Coopers.
"When we got back we saw the screen was torn and the house was broken into," Greene said.
Greene said the home that was broken into is vacant so the thieves got nothing.
However, he said he planned to tighten up security there and at his own home.
"Its frightening to think someone would break into your own home," he said.
Eyewitness News checked and found fewer than five reported crimes in the area since the start of the year. Police said they were unsure whether the two break-ins were connected.

The Lionesses fall out of the competition on penalties despite taking the lead in the match through Jill Scott as Faye White misses the decisive spot-kick after extra-time
Jill Scott had given England the lead in the second half before Elise Bussaglia equalised late on and after neither side could grab the winner in extra-time, White missed from the spot as France triumphed 4-3 on sudden-death penalties.
England started the match strongly, with Kelly Smith rounding the French keeper, only to be denied by a block from defender Laura Georges.
France started to control the play thereafter, leading to a bad challenge by Faye Williams on Gaetane Thiney, who received a yellow card for the tackle on four minutes. France continued to dominate play, and only a superb block from Jill Scott denied a dangerous shot.
The French continued to dominate going forward, but England's defence stood strong. Thiney took a powerful shot from just inside the box, but England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley was equal to it. France's attacking midfielder Necib struck a long-range shot on the half-hour that flew inches over the bar.
France started the second-half well, with another attack, but Delie's shot went just wide. England then made a break up the left flank, with left-back Rachel Unitt crossing in for Jill Scott to head just wide.
England attacked again, this time midfielder Rachel Yankey placing a through ball into Scott, who hit a well-placed shot over the French goalkeeper and into the back of the net on 59 minutes for 1-0.
France continue to keep possession, but England were looking more confident after the goal. Steph Houghton and Claire Rafferty replaced Alex Scott and Rachel Unitt in defence for Hope Powell's side.
Thomis then sprinted past the substitute defenders and placed a shot straight at Bardsley. A second attack, however, was more fruitful as the ball was laid off to Bussaglia, who curled a shot from outside the box, onto the bar and in after 87 minutes.
Four minutes of added time saw France drive forward in search of a winner, but neither side was able to make the breakthrough as the game went into extra-time.
Barsley was called into action first in extra-time as she saved Thiney's shot before Carney forced Deville into making a save after 101 minutes.
England's Faye White than came close to grabbing the lead but her shot drifted just wide of the post as it remained 1-1 at half-time of extra-time.
The French had the better of the chances in the second period although with the scores still level as the whistle blew for the end of extra-time, penalties would settle the quarter-final.
It would prove to be heartache for England as White missed her spot-kick in sudden death to see France through to the semi-finals of the competition.

Senior Palestinian security source says it's just a matter of time before another Israeli soldier is abducted in an effort to negotiate the release of the remaining prisoners.
In the debate on the prisoner exchange for the release of Gilad Shalit, many Israelis identify with the suffering of the Shalit family and feel a duty to return a captive soldier, while others feel anger over the release of murderers who slaughtered hundreds of Israelis.
Symbolism has also received a lot of attention, but the issue that has been shoved aside in the debate – and it will surely be raised in Monday's petitions to the High Court of Justice – is the risk posed by the prisoners being set free….

Agents yarded a total of 1,978 head at the Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange regular prime sale on Wednesday, March 23.
There was an increase in numbers for all categories of cattle yarded.
Quality of the young cattle was good with the largest percentage in good 2 score condition, and there was several runs of well bred cattle through the sale, along with a fair number of cross bred steers and heifers offered.
The market was cheaper with the larger numbers unable to maintain last week’s prices.
Cow prices held firm this week averaging 341.1c/kg and reaching a top price of 406.2c/kg. Heifer prices saw another significant drop with lighter heifers up to 250kg averaging 634.1c/kg and topping their category at 822.2c/kg. Heavier heifers over 250kg averaged 492.6c/kg and reached a top of 680.2c/kg.
Bull prices were easier with 32 head sold reaching a top of 342.2c/kg and average of 328.4c/kg and 673kg. This week steer prices were down again with lighter steers up to 250kg averaging 673.2c/kg and top price of 836.2c/kg. Heavier steers over 250kg averaged 565.0c/kg and topped their market at 682.2c/kg. A large number of bullocks sold on the day averaged 415.2c/kg.
As with most other categories, vealer prices fell again this week with lighter vealer up to 250kg averaging 650.9c/kg and reaching a top of 842.2c/kg. Heavier vealer over 250kg averaged 578.0c/kg with a top price of 680.0c/kg.
George & Fuhrmann held day two and three of their annual weaner sales on March 24 and 25 with huge numbers going on the hammer.
Thursday saw 4,180 top quality European weaners sold with a large number of buyers in attendance.
Steers topped their category at 836.0c/kg and averaged 696.9c/kg and 293kg and heifers reached a top of 820.0c/kg and averaged 665.4c/kg and 280kg.
Friday’s sale saw 3,272 Bos Indicus weaners auctioned with steers topping their category at 858.0c/kg and averaging 695.7c/kg and heifers reached a top of $3,225.
This week there is a T&W McCormack and Ramsey & Bulmer joint sale on Friday, April 1. There will be more than 1500 head go under the hammer.

The National Assembly on Sunday elected the PML-N’s Shehbaz Sharif as the 24th elected prime minister of Pakistan, making him the only Pakistani politician to be elected as prime minister for the second consecutive time. Sharif bagged 201 votes compared to the PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council’s Omar Ayub who obtained 92 votes. As expected, the PTI-SIC lawmakers caused a commotion and chanted slogans to disrupt Shehabz’s maiden speech as the new PM-elect. Shehbaz thanked his brother Mian Nawaz Sharif for nominating him and the allied parties for their support, emphasized how the work ahead is difficult but not impossible and also spoke about not following a politics of revenge. He also talked about unity, how the debt crisis haunts Pakistan, how electricity and gas prices are a burden for the common people, and problems being faced by farmers, among other things. Shehbaz said he would bring investment into the country, vowed to end terrorism and its roots, announced visa-free entry into Pakistan for brotherly countries, and called out the international community for its silence on the Middle East and Occupied Kashmir. Shehbaz Sharif’s speech was long but overall focused on issues being faced by the country. Expectedly, he again brought up May 9 and its perpetrators in the speech – something he did as PM in his previous tenure as well. But encouragingly, the newly elected prime minister also spoke of how the missing persons issue is the main concern in Balochistan.
In his second stint as prime minister now, Shehbaz Sharif is seen as being better at dealing with difficult situations, especially when it comes to taking allied parties along. The previous PDM government had to face many difficulties in its short 16-month stint but Shehbaz’s reconciliation policy is what made him complete his tenure despite what was happening outside parliament. Let’s not forget what Shehbaz faced at that time: Imran Khan derailing the IMF programme before he was ousted through the vote of no-confidence, PTI-peddled conspiracy theories regarding the cipher leading to the party’s popularity, the Supreme Court’s reinterpretation of Article 63A that led to the PML-N losing its government in Punjab because of by-polls, Ishaq Dar’s decision to delay the IMF programme bringing the country to the verge of default, and so on. The PML-N became unpopular because of the incumbency factor. Now, in this current stint, Shehbaz Sharif is back as PM. And he yet again faces a difficult PTI – made even more agitated by the way Election 2024 has been mismanaged and made controversial. However, despite the PTI-backed candidates winning more seats in the NA than the PML-N or PPP, Shehbaz has successfully formed a new government with help from the PPP. And now the real challenge for PM Shehbaz will begin.
This real challenge is of course the economy. How Shehbaz manages to fix it is what will determine the progress of this government. Pakistan will have to go into a new IMF programme soon, which will lead to more difficulties for the people. It is this aspect the government will have to deal with. And the PTI will not be helping matters; the party has a track record of creating chaos, especially when in opposition. They will do it inside parliament and also outside on the streets. In these polarizing times, it will be important to see how Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif manages to keep his allies together and also maintain a working relationship with the opposition.
