Thursday there was a strike for the Biomedical Department students in Shorouk Academy, something I'm really proud of since I'm one of those students. Though we didn't have all our goals fulfilled, but it is a good step anyway esp there was a not-so-bad cooperation between the Deparment Head Prof Osama Hassan and we the students. It all began with firing three of the assistants in the department. Officially the head didn't affirm this. But from sources inside the academy, the owner Dr. Mohamed Farid Khamis, ordered them to sign their resignation. There was graphic evidence that these three assistants gave private classes with opposition to the Academy general policies…

After the last humanitarian catastrophe happening in Palestine, publicopinion in Egypt has been scattered between the reflection of the badnews of the mass killing, political prostituion committed by differentkinds of supposedly politically aware people, or politicians, fromdifferent political ideologies. At the moment of writing this the warseems to be exploding in Beth Lahem. I will be talking now from two point of views. I prefer to begin withthe humanitarian point of view since we as arabs lack understandingthe value of human life. We see now dozens of civilians murdered bringing us back to thebarbaric culture of ethnic and religious elimination. This is a stateapplication of killing policy, simply innocent people…

I was tagged by my friend Rasha, I don't know really if I can answer it (since it was 3 years since I was 18), but I will try to answer it anyway :D. Here are the rules:1. You should state six things you should do before you turn 18.2. This tag must be referred to 6 friends3. A comment must be left on each of these friends. What I should have done before turning 18: 1. Never let anyone, including your parents to force you to choose a certain career. It is totally frustrating. If you don't live a miserable life then you will do what you wanted anyway,…

Resources are the basic unit of development in any country. The first responsibility of any government is to manage these resources for the benefit of their people. There is a concept which is supposed to classify different countries democratically, which is: "People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people". The more this concept is achieved, the more this resources management has the opportunity to be optimized. While in the countries where the people are afraid of their governments, the outcome of this resource management (I will call it RM for simplicity) is almost always to finance the corruption heads and to maintain the corruption…

How does authoritarian media plan to researh the so called "New Media"NOW. Why is New Media equivalent to blogging? Or is it the tendencytowards freedom as a value since satellites are more common and moreconnected to people. Or is it the fear of responsibility because whoare to blame are the blogojournalists? I urge professional mediapeople if this expression is correct, to be more honest withthemselves to give the real picture of what's going on rather thandebating the credibility of people with no material interest(financial to be precise) opposed to people who are taking media as aliving, which is a very serious point. — Sent from Gmail for mobile | mobile.google.com…
