| Medicine in ancient Egypt |
| The Ancient Egyptians knew that physical trauma could cause injury, and they knew that snake and scorpion bites could cause serious illness. |
|
history of Egypt |
|
| |
 |
|
| A moment in the life of an Egyptian physician of the Eighteenth Dynasty |
|
Although they had no idea how it happened, they also realized that some diseases could spread from one person to another, but they knew nothing about bacteria and viruses and tended to assume that any medical problem they did not fully understand must, at least in part, be caused by malignant demons.
If the supernatural causes illness, it is reasonable to use magic to try to get rid of it. A sympathetic god or goddess might be invited to save the patient. A magic spell might be spoken to drive the demon away. While some medicines did or were thought to have curative powers, others were deliberately repulsive in the hope the demons causing the illness would be driven away. Religious treatments usually involved an incantation creating an association between the patient and a deity. A disease causing demon could be expected to run away if it thought it was toying with a major god or goddess.
The following incantations are quoted from John F. Nunn, Ancient Egyptian Medicine (2003) The British Museum Press:
- Flow out, poison. Come forth. Go forth on to the ground. Horus will exorcise you. He will punish you. He will spit you out.
- Repelled is the enemy that is in the wound. Cast out is the evil that is in the blood....I am under the protection of Isis; my rescue is the son of Osiris.
- I am Horus, the young child with his finger to his mouth; the sandal of Horus is what tramples the nekhi snake.

| Colona Watersports now in Sharm El Sheikh! |
| The centre is the first and only centre in the region.You will find them in Raouf International Hotels in Nabq. |

 |
|
| The centre is located directly on the beach and allows you to launch directly in to the huge shallow lagoon. |
|
The Nabq area is located on the North side of Sharm El Sheikh, 10 minutes from the Airport, on the same coast line as Dahab, famous for its constant winds. The wind direction is normally cross to cross on and the wind is very smooth. A short distance to the North of the centre, accessible from land or by riding upwind is a bay with waves rolling in to a shore break.
Maybe not a real wave spot, but very different from what you are use to see in Egypt, and a nice playground for the advanced rider.
The centre is equipped with Naish kites and Naish & Nobile boards. Teaching is done on the 2007 X1 SLE kites and for rental we have 2007 Boxer SLE, Torch and Raven Kites. In the very near future the compressor will be installed and the weather station and internet camera will come online.
Kevin Biles and Diane Gainford are our partners and centre managers in Sharm and they are looking forward to welcome you to their spot!

| Two internet service providers selected for first commercial WiMAX network in Egypt |
| The Emerging Markets Group is pleased to announce the selection of the Internet Service Provider partners who will improve and expand internet connectivity within the Egyptian tourism sector. |
| news |
|
The managers of the 'While in Egypt Stay Connected Project,' funded by USAID, identified significant connectivity gaps in the high visibility tourist areas of Luxor and Naama Bay in Sharm El Sheikh. Filling these gaps can provide economic growth through a broadband wireless outdoor metropolitan area network.
The ISP providers, EgyNet and TE Data, have been selected to develop the first wireless outdoor networks for commercial application of WiMAX technology in Egypt. WiMAX is a wireless alternative for DSL and can deliver enough bandwidth to offer high speed Internet access to hotels, businesses, and end users. EgyNet will develop the network in Naama Bay, and TE Data will develop the network in Luxor. These networks are planned to be operational mid-May, 2007.
The National Regulatory Telecommunications Authority has agreed to provide a demonstration license for WiMAX in the 3.5 GHz spectrum for this project. The WiMAX license will support wireless hotspots across Naama Bay and Luxor, and is complementary to the new 3G licenses awarded to Etisalat and Vodafone.
The While in Egypt Stay Connected project is sponsored by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), and financed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Emerging Markets Group (EMG) is the Prime Contractor for this project.!

| Turquoise potato beads |
Did you know you can make beads for necklaces and bracelets out of potatoes? We were pretty surprised to hear about it, so we decided to try it for ourselves.
Designed by Amanda Formaro |
| parents & kids |
|
| |
 |
|
| The result is really quite lovely and truly unique. |
|
What you need:
1 medium potato, potato peeler, wooden skewer, acrylic sealer spray, jewelry cord
acrylic paint: turquoise, black, white
What you do:
Peel the potato and cut it into 1 inch cubes. If you like, you can round the edges or shape them however you like. For this craft, we used simple cubes.
Thread the cubes onto a skewer, leaving space between each one. These will need to dry for one week. You can insert the end of the skewer into craft foam, or simply lay them on a plate and place them out of the way. Be sure to twist them once or twice a day, this will ensure that they dry completely.
Once the potato is dried out, leave them on the skewer to paint. Paint each bead with turquoise paint. Let dry and repeat with a second coat.
To add the genuine turquoise look, use a scruffy paint brush to add random spots, swipes and dabs of black and wihte paint. To complete the effect, you can smear the paint with a piece of paper towel. We decided to use the toothbrush method on ours.
Toothbrush Method:
Put a small amount of black paint onto a paper plate, about the size of a dime. Add a few drop of water, enough to thin the paint. Using an old toothbrush, pick up some of the thinned black paint. Before applying this method to the box, test it on a piece of newspaper. Flick the bristles of the toothbrush by dragging your finger or thumb across them. This causes the paint to spray off the brush onto your "target", in this case, the newspaper. Once you are happy with the result, flick the paint all over the beads. Repeat this process with white paint as well.
Spray entire surface with acrylic sealer and allow to dry completely. Remove beads from skewer and thread onto necklace or bracelet cord.
