ECONOMY OF EGYPT


Occupying the northeast corner of the African continent, Egypt is bisected by the highly fertile Nile valley, where most economic activity takes place. In the last 30 years, the government has reformed the highly centralized economy it inherited from President Gamel Abdel Nasser
During the 1990s, a series of International Monetary Fund arrangements, coupled with massive external debt relief resulting from Egypt`s participation in Gulf War coalition, helped Egypt improve its macroeconomic performance. The pace of structural reforms, including fiscal, monetary policies, privatization and new business legislations, helped Egypt to move towards a more market-oriented economy and, since the turn of the new millennium, prompted increased foreign investment.
The reform program is still a work in progress and the government will need to continue its aggressive pursuit of reforms in order to sustain the spike in investment and growth and begin to improve economic conditions for the broader population. Egypt's export sectors—particularly gold and natural gas—have bright prospects.

THE EGYPTIAN CLIMATE FROM OFFICIAL RESOURCE


Egypt does not receive much rainfall except in the winter months. South of Cairo, rainfall averages only around 2 to 5 mm (0.1 to 0.2 in) per year and at intervals of many years. On a very thin strip of the northern coast the rainfall can be as high as 410 mm (16 in), with most of the rainfall between October and March. Snow falls on Sinai's mountains and some of the north coastal cities such as Damietta, Baltim, Sidi Barrany, etc. and rarely in Alexandria, frost is also known in mid-Sinai and mid-Egypt.
Temperatures average between 80 °F (27 °C) and 90 °F (32 °C) in summer, and up to 109 °F (43 °C) on the Red Sea coast. Temperatures average between 55 °F (13 °C) and 70 °F (21 °C) in winter. A steady wind from the northwest helps hold down the temperature near the Mediterranean coast. The Khamaseen is a wind that blows from the south in Egypt in spring, bringing sand and dust, and sometimes raises the temperature in the desert to more than 100 °F (38 °C).

GEOGRAPHY OF EGYPT COMPARING WITH OTHER COUNTRIES


At 1,001,450 square kilometers (386,660 sq mi), Egypt is the world's 38th-largest country. In terms of land area, it is approximately the same size as all of Central America, twice the size of Spain, four times the size of the United Kingdom, and the combined size of the US states of Texas andCalifornia.
Nevertheless, due to the aridity of Egypt's climate, population centers are concentrated along the narrow Nile Valley and Delta, meaning that approximately 99% of the population uses only about 5.5% of the total land area

WIRELESS NETWORK


Wireless network refers to any type of computer network that is wireless, and is commonly associated with a telecommunication network whose interconnections between nodes is implemented without the use of wires. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented with some type of remote information transmission system that uses electromagnatic waves, such as radio waves, for the carrier and this implementation usually takes place at the physical level or "layer" of the network

USES OF WIRELESS NETWORKS


Through the use of wireless networks, information could be sent overseas or behind enemy lines easily, efficiently and more reliably. Since then, wireless networks have continued to develop and their uses have grown significantly. celluar phones are part of huge wireless network systems. People use these phones daily to communicate with one another. Sending information overseas is possible through wireless network systems using satellites and other signals to communicate across the world. Emergency services such as the police department utilize wireless networks to communicate important information quickly. People and businesses use wireless networks to send and share data quickly whether it be in a small office building or across the world.
Another important use for wireless networks is as an inexpensive and rapid way to be connected to the Internet in countries and regions where the telecom infrastructure is poor or there is a lack of resources, as in mostdevoloping countries.

WHY SHOULD WE NEED A WIRELESS HOME NETWORK


Most of us have an access to the internet in our homes or even in small offices. Have you ever think how these offices or liberaries have all these computers with internet connection. Of course they are not paying for each computer inside the office or library. They do what it called a wirelss network.Unless your home or small office has been hard wired for a local area network meaning a network wiring in the walls, wall network ports, and a central switch or other connectivity device in a closet. The reason to creat a wireless home network is a fairly self evident. And while many homes and small offices may have started out with one shared computer that had a dial up internet connection. Lower cost computers and the avaliablity of extremely fast broadband internet connections make the creation of a home network highly desirable and affordable

PEOPLE IN EGYPT

This time I will talk about Egyptian people who I have lived with for more than twenty years. I did not recognize their behaviors until I come. When I was there, I did not feel them and how they treat each other. Being in United States makes me aware and understand the value of my country`s behavior. People in Egypt very very simple. If they have money or do not have money, they will laugh. We love laughing just like babies when they laugh without thinking about anything. Even in hard times we always make jokes trying to overcome the problems. We do not have that good economy that makes all levels in my country to have enough money to have luxury. I know people who live with little bit money and have satisfied life without thinking about illegal ways or fight for the money because we believe that God gives each creature his right in this life. So nobody tries to break that may be we really afraid from god. I do not know but I guess that we care about anything we do. Not because we afraid from being in illegal troubles but we care from God punishment in the permanent life. Of course any community has its own good people and bad people. I can not say that every body in Egypt like that, but I can say that these bad people have been affected by economical or social factors. But I am sure that these people are good from inside. I mean their heart like milk in his colour.
