	What is love? Knowing the value of the ring	08/02 12:41	Baltimore Sun	Blue Nile
	NEW YORK - One engagement ring costs $1,000. Another is $10,000. You may wonder why there's an extra zero if you can't tell them apart. Finally, you can save if you buy from sites like BlueNile.com, Diamonds.com or Ice.com. Blue Nile's prices are between 20 percent to 40 percent lower than mall jewelers, largely because of lower overhead costs. The drawback is that you won't be able to see the diamond before you buy it, although you can return rings for up to 30 days.

	Nairobi — Lake Turkana could be the scene of a major conflict in the near future, environmentalists are warning. The Nile Basin, which encompasses nine countries -- including Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania -- has been mentioned as a potential source of conflict because of the high number of people who depend on it. This could easily spill over into war. Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea are among the Nile Basin states that are most vulnerable to climatic variations.

På tolv år har de til nå kun levert to album, mens en ny er underveis. Til tross for den lange ventetiden mellom hver utgivelse, har The Blue Nile alltid vært verd å vente på. Enn så lenge er det verdt å minne om den flotte debuten A Walk Across The Rooftops fra 1983. A Walk Across The Rooftops er altså skottenes debutalbum, og en meget spesiell plate. Den inkluderer blant annet en av tidenes flotteste singler, Tinseltown In The Rain, som i sin tid banet vei for de første nysgjerrige tilhengerne av The Blue Nile.

	The All Party Parliamentary Group for Children has held three meetings since the beginning of 2007: .  With contributions from Kate Green (Chief Executive, Child Poverty Action Group), Ann McKechin MP, and Armando Barrientos (Institute for Development Studies). Armando Barrientos (Institute of Development Studies) said that there has been an increase in the use of benefits (or ‘cash transfers’) to tackle childhood poverty and vulnerability in developing countries, and he provided the meeting with some examples in Latin America.  He said that cash transfers are effective on many different levels: they reduce poverty, help local economies, and the fact that transfers are usually given to the mother may be increasing women’s status in the household and society.

	Egypt Nile Cruise to Make Your Holidays Enjoyable	06/02 13:33	My Content Builder	Blue Nile
	Have you ever dreamt of spending your vacation with family and children in the mystique land of the pharaoh, which is still wrapped in mystery? If you wish to, then you must visit Egypt. The Nile River is known to be the longest river in the world that stretches to the north at just about 4000 miles to the Mediterranean, commencing from East Africa. Several studies have shown that the river Nile has gradually changed its size and course over the years. The Nile River flows south from the mountains to the Mediterranean in the north. There are many mysteries that surround this great river. Some are of the opinion that there are three rivers that flow into river Nile from the south including Arbara, the White Nile and Blue Nile. The Nile passes by forming igneous hard rock, cataracts, and results in a series of torrents that form the natural boundary along the south. Another mystery about river Nile is that its length throughout Egypt has weathered a deep broad gorge in the desert plateau.

James was one of the leading Egyptologists of his generation. He spent his entire working life at the British Museum, attending to the collections, doing fieldwork in the Nile Valley, and publishing scholarly and popular works, and serving as Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities. Thomas Garnet Henry James, known to friends and colleagues as Harry, was born in Neath, South Wales, in 1923. His early interest in Egypt’s antiquity was inspired by cigarette cards depicting finds from the tomb of Tutankhamun. He was educated at Neath County Grammar School and at Exeter College, Oxford. After a year at the university he enlisted with the Royal Artillery, serving in Northern Europe and rising to the rank of captain. He returned to Oxford to complete two degrees in succession: one in classics (1947) and the other in oriental studies, specialising in Egyptology (1950). He was tutored at Oxford by Professor Battiscombe Gunn and, informally, by Sir Alan Gardiner, both authorities on Egyptian language and literature. He had a rigorous training in the reading of texts in both the hieroglyphic and (more cursive) hieratic script. Famously used by Agatha Christie in her thriller, Death Comes as the End, the papers (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) represent the letters and accounts written in hieratic of a prosperous farmer and give an intimate view of family life in the Nile Valley around 2050BC. James’s publication, The Hekanakhte Papers and other Middle Kingdom Documents (1962), was recently described by one authority as “a true classic of Egyptological literature”.

	When Rome came to Nubia	04/02 23:42	Al-Ahram	Lake Nasser
	To highlight Italy's help in rescuing Nubian monuments during the Salvage Campaign of the 1960s and 70s, a photographic exhibition is on show at Al-Sama Khana. Nevine El-Aref recalls the events as she... The idea for an exhibition was dreamed up last year in Rome by the World Wide Artists Association and the Chamber of Commerce in Rome to highlight the role of Italy in rescuing Nubian monuments from the rising waters of Lake Nasser following the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The exhibition was previously shown in 2009 in Rome inside the Temple of Hadrian. The exhibition will later tour some of the principle capitals of Europe and worldwide. Back in 1954, When Egypt decided to construct the High Dam across the River Nile at Aswan, it became apparent that a large number of the ancient Egyptians' priceless archaeological monuments would be drowned in the newly-created Lake Nasser, which would stretch from Aswan in Egypt to the Dal Cataract in Sudan. Many sites in the area were threatened, particularly unexcavated and little-known cemeteries and small settlements. Not only would more than 14 temples have to be moved, but urgent excavations would need to take place at sites that would soon be under several dozen metres of water. Fifty nations contributed to the fund to save these monuments. The temple of Amada was a difficult case, because of its small, beautifully painted reliefs. Chopping it into blocks, as was being done with the other temples, was not an option; the paintings would not have survived. Seeing that all seemed resigned to see the temple flooded by the water of Lake Nasser. France saved it. The method used for moving the temple was to transport it in one piece. The idea of the French architects was to put the temple on rails and convey it hydraulically to a site a few kilometres away but more than 60 metres higher. Ultimately the rescue project, including the transportation and reconstruction of the temples on their new sites, took 20 years. The campaign ended on 10 March 1980 as a complete and spectacular success. The monuments were then declared a World Heritage Property.
	People of the Nile appeal for greater rights	04/02 21:18	The National	Lake Nasser
	CAIRO // Human rights activists and community leaders are planning to petition the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights this month to appeal for greater recognition and housing rights for ... While many Nubians support efforts to bring international awareness to their cause, others say the Egyptian government has largely fulfilled its obligations to the more than 70,000 Nubians who were displaced by Lake Nasser, a reservoir created by the High Dam. He said the Nubian’s last remaining demand – that the government find permanent housing for 5,221 families absent at the time of the original 1964 displacement – was fulfilled by an unwritten agreement between the community and the government after discussions last year. Those homes south of Aswan near the banks of Lake Nasser will be completed within 10 months, Mr al Gamal said. If the UN agrees with the ECHR’s assertion that Nubians are indeed an “indigenous population”, they may enjoy the added force of international law behind their claims to their ancestral lands along the banks of Lake Nasser, said Ms al Tibi.

Ben Elowitz is co-founder and CEO of Wetpaint , a platform for building out web sites, and author of the Digital Quarters blog. Prior to Wetpaint, Elowitz co-founded Blue Nile , the largest online retailer of luxury goods. He is also an angel investor in media and e-commerce companies. It’s now abundantly clear that the ad model isn’t enough to support the New York Times’ online future—the company needs consumers to help pay the bills. Thus, its recent decision to go metered. But the plan to charge some subscribers is not the end solution, it’s more like one piece of the puzzle. The company needs to take a few other big steps to help ensure the financial viability of NYTimes.com. To be fair, let’s start with the three things the NYT got right with its decision, before we look at three things it still needs to do. You can see the upsides of the metering decision more clearly when you actually crunch the numbers on how the new system will impact existing revenues and look more deeply at the costs of implementing other types of subscriber plans.

If one were to view our current muscle biology portfolio as a three legged stool with one leg representing our work and cardiac contractility and the second being our skeletal program then the third leg of our metaphorical muscle biology stool is represented by our program directed to inhibiting smooth muscle contractility. This program continues to generate encouraging data in nonclinical development studies during the last quarter we presented non clinical data at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association regarding the application of our smooth muscle myosin inhibitors. These data compliment other non clinical data we previously presented from this program that relate to potential applications in hypertension which can be caused by excessive constriction of the resistance arterials that determine blood pressure and also diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD that result from bronchoconstriction and bronchospasm. We anticipate that also in the first half of 2010 we will initiate an EOE study of CK-357 in patients with claudication and we anticipate throughout 2010 continuing non clinical development studies of the back up potential drug candidate to CK-357 from our skeletal muscle troponin activation program. Lastly, with respect to other activities in development at Cytokinetics, we anticipate throughout 2010 continuing non clinical development activities related to our smooth muscle myosin inhibitors.
