Fathy Salama
|
Short description
|
Fathy Salama (Arabic فتحي سلامة; born 13 February 1951, in Cairo) is a Grammy Award-winning Egyptian musician, who usually appears with his ensemble Sharkiat (شرقيات, "Easterners").
Salama grew up listening to the radio, which played artists who placed a deep influence upon him. His childhood influences were musicians Umm Kulthum, Mohammed Abdel Wahab and Farid El Atrache.Cairo: The Practical Guide, Lesley Lababidi, Claire E. Francy (2008), page 84: "Main venues for Western and mixed-style jazz are the cultural centers, the Opera complex, Gumhuriya Theater, and the Wikalat al- Ghuri near the Khan, where Fathy Salama and his band, Sharkiat, have played. Catch this group whenever you ..."Frommer's Egypt, Mohamed El Hebeishy (2010), "Grammy award–winner Fathy Salama mixes jazz with Arab elements, and periodically gigs in Cairo with his Sharkiat band."Bruno Blum, De l'art de savoir chanter, danser et jouer la bamboula comme un éminent musicien africain: Le guide des musiques africaines (2007), "Le groupe Sharkiat de Fathy Salama évolue de Yaljil vers un rock variété dans les années 1990." These artists influenced him so much that he decided to get involved with music; he then started to create his own versatile style of music, from playing the piano from the age of six and followed by gigging in Cairo clubs from the age of thirteen. Soon the child of Shobra, the 'Compton of Cairo', made visits to Europe and to New York City to learn jazz with such artists as Barry Harris, Sun Ra, Roman Bunka, Hal Galper, and Pat Patrick.
He progressed to making plenty of hits in Cairo during the 1980s. He has been touring the world, and he has won two prizes for his film soundtracks for Fallen Angels Paradises and Signs of April. It is with Sharkiat (his own group) that Fathy is making his dreams come true of merging modern and traditional music together.
Fathy has collaborated in electronic music with Kouchari or his meeting with Alix Roy, and in sacred music on Egypt, the Youssou N'Dour album (Grammy Award for Best Contemporary World Music Album and BBC Award).
Fathy held a lot of workshops to help amateurs with his experience, which produced -workshops- artists such as Dina El Wedidi and others.

The result was redirect to Identity (philosophy). The target article defines an identity as transitive. There's not really anything else to merge. [[Identity (mathematics}]] is far less applicable, in this case. — Rebelguys2 talk 03:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Transitivity of identity
– (View AfD)(View log)
Redundant article that borders on dictionary definition - while the transitive property of identity is an important one, I am not convinced that it requires its own article, given that we have an article on Identity (philosophy) which mentions that identity is a Transitive relation. There is really nothing more to say about the topic, other than to give examples - which already exist on that page for transitive. I really don't see any way this can be expanded from what it is - a one-line mention in another article, padded out by examples that could be covered on a linked page. Haemo 10:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep. The phrase gets 500ish hits on Google and from mainly educational sites. Seems like folks really use this phrase in proofs. --Hobit 16:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment of course people use the phrase in proofs! It's a basic property of identity. That doesn't make it any less redundant. People also use the phrase "symmetry of identity" or "reflexivity of identity" too. That doesn't mean they're in any way capable of producing an article that isn't redundant. --Haemo 23:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
At present a google search of wikipedia doesn't have the phrase anywhere where it is defined. Someone looking what the phrase means wouldn't be able to figure it out without the article. While a person "knowledgeable in the art" would know where to look, they'd also know what it is. So I stay with Keep. --Hobit 17:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Merge and Redirect While the phrase may be notable, there is not enough new material for an article. It would be better served as a subsection of Identity (philosophy) or under the Maths subsection of Identity. Shimaspawn 16:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I listed this for deletion, and not merging, because there's really nothing there to merge in the first place. There's the definition, one good example (but there are already examples on Transitive relation) and one example which doesn't make sense. --Haemo 00:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment The problem with merge and redirect as an option is that the concept applies as much to Identity (mathematics) as it does to Identity (philosophy). I'm not sure how to resolve this. JulesH 17:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Redirect to Identity (philosophy), the math article doesn't fit it as well, I think. Smmurphy(Talk) 07:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Redirect to Identity (philosophy) as a plausible search term. The other option I considered was redirecting to Transitive relation, but I think that anyone searching for "transitivity of identity" would like to have a look at the identity article first. Perhaps I'm wrong, but this seems plausible to me. -- Black Falcon 01:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Mampsis
|
short description
|
Mampsis (Medieval Greek: Μάμψις) or Memphis (Ancient Greek: Μέμφις), today Mamshit (), Kurnub (Arabic: كرنب), is a former Nabataean caravan stop and Byzantine city. In the Nabataean period, Mampsis was an important station on the Incense Road, connecting Southern Arabia through Edom, the Arabah and Ma'ale Akrabim, to the Mediterranean ports, as well as to Jerusalem via Beersheba and Hebron. The city covers and is the smallest but best restored ancient city in the Negev Desert. The once-luxurious houses feature unusual architecture not found in any other Nabataean city.
The reconstructed city gives the visitor a sense of how Mampsis once looked. Entire streets have survived intact, and there are also large groups of Nabataean buildings with open rooms, courtyards, and terraces. The stones are carefully chiseled and the arches that support the ceiling are remarkably well constructed.
The Incense Route - Desert Cities in the Negev, including Mampsis, Haluza, Avdat, and Shivta, were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in June 2005.

Name
|
Name
The Medieval Greek name Mampsis (Μαμψις) appears on the Madaba map and in the writings of Church Fathers.
The Negev Naming Committee chose to Hebraize the name as Mamshit (ממשית), with one committee member stating that it is "impossible to leave the name Mampsis because it's a foreign name"; the committee concluded that Mamshit was the original Hebrew name, which had been distorted by the Greeks.
The name in Arabic, Kurnub, is a drink made from camel milk and date honey.

History

History
thumb|left|Mampsis on the Madaba map
Mampsis was founded in the 1st century BCE as trade post between Petra and Gaza. Also based on agriculture, it continued to develop over time. When its trade with the Roman occupation waned, the city developed a lucrative trade breeding fine horses, notably, the renowned Arabian horse.Negev, Avraham. The architecture of Mampsis: Final report. "Qedem", Vol. 27, p. 8.
thumb|The dam that blocks Mampsis river south of the city
In 106, after the city was annexed to the Roman Empire, a Roman garrison was stationed there to guard part of the southern border of the empire and large dams were built around it, two of which have survived to this day.
During the Byzantine period, between the 3rd and 5th centuries BCE, Mampsis received support from the authorities as a frontier city until the time of Justinian I. When this funding ceased, the city went into decline and had practically ceased to exist by the middle of the 6th century C.E.
Before the founding of the State of Israel, Prime Minister to-be David Ben-Gurion saw Mampsis as the capital of the future country, which dovetailed with his dream of settling the Negev Desert.

Research on the site
The site was first mentioned by the archaeologist Ulrich Jasper Zatzen in the first decade of the 19th century and later in the century it was explored on several occasions. The first thorough survey was conducted by the Alois Musil in 1901. In 1937, the British Foundation for the Investigation of the Land of Israel and its Antiquities conducted another detailed survey of the site, and in 1956-1957, excavations were carried out on behalf of the Hebrew University and the National Parks Authority. In 1972 the place was opened for visits.

Discoveries
Two churches were discovered in Mampsis. The western St. Nilus Church has a mosaic floor with colorful geometric patterns, birds, a fruit basket, and five dedications in Greek. The eastern church has a lectern on small marble pillars, the remnants of which can be seen at the site.
Extensive fortified residential compounds featuring a singular entrance were found that were timed to the 2nd century C.E. These complexes incorporated stable yards, storage facilities, and living quarters. Two burial sites were unearthed.
The biggest hoard ever found in Israel was discovered in Mampsis, consisting of 10,500 silver coins with a total weight of 72 kg. Other findings include a lead ingot with its foundry markings, a collection of ancient Greek texts on papyrus, and other objects indicative of wealth.

Stephen Curran is a British video game journalist, presenter, author, tutor and game designer.
He was an editor at Edge magazine, also as one of the contributors writing under the name RedEye. The RedEye articles have been cited as one of "Ten unmissable examples of New Games Journalism" by Guardian Unlimited.
Curran's published books include Game Plan: Great Designs That Changed the Face of Computer Gaming (2004), The Art of Producing Games (2005), The Complete Guide to Game Development, Art & Design (2005) and Game On: The 50 Greatest Video Games of All Time (2006); the latter three were written with David McCarthy and Simon Byron.Ste Curran: Books at Amazon.com
He currently presents the Resonance FM gaming radio show, One Life Left.
Curran is credited with writing the script to Sega's PSP title, Crush, with British video game journalist Simon Parkin.
In 2004, Curran fabricated a fad called "Toothing", in which users of bluetooth cellphones were supposed to send suggestive anonymous solicitations to others within range. He registered a forum, filling it with posts from fictional users, and linked it to Gizmodo, a gadget blog. BBC, Reuters and Wired news desks all fell for the hoax.
Curran was a speaker at the Nordic Game Conference and Career Expo in 2008.
Curran recently started a blog called 'Consumer Writes' (a play on 'consumer rights'), in which he writes 'overwritten objections' - bizarre and unusual complaint letters to various companies in the hope of getting free stuff.

Ancient links between India and Ethiopia have existed even before history was recorded during the Axumite period. (2nd to 9th century A.D.) According to historian Richard Pankhurst, "contacts between the land which came to be known as Ethiopia and India date back to the dawn of history." Trade between India and the Axumite Kingdom flourished in the 6th century A.D. The ancient port of Adulis served as an entry-pot and the hub of maritime trade where Indian traders flocked to trade in spices and silk for ivory and gold.
In later periods, the arrival of Indians in the 17th century with the support of the Portuguese, the Indian troops in 1868 brought by Robert Napier, who was then the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in Bombay, and in 1935 when fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia, were important events. Indian artisans and workers played an important role in the development of the famous city of Gondar and the palace of Emperor Fasilidas.
General Rawley had been loaned by India to set up a military academy for Ethiopia. A large number of Indians had been employed between the late sixties and the nineties on a contractual basis to teach in the country's primary and secondary schools. But with the overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie by Colonel Mengistu, the new communist regime introduced a policy of “Ethiopianisation” which meant that foreigners were not allowed to teach in Ethiopian schools. Consequently, all the teachers and a large number of Indian businessmen moved to other destinations.
Only a few Indians remained behind, among whom were those who had settled down in the country for more than three generations.

At one time there were more than 9,000 families in Ethiopia. By the mid-80s their number had come down to 8,000. Presently, the Indian community numbers approximately 1,500 nationals plus an approx. number of 400 teaching staff on contractual assignment.
Around a hundred of them are businessmen. Mainly from Gujarat, they work as commission agents of various import-export companies.
Another 150 are professors who teach in the Defence Ministry's Engineering College and in various faculties of leading Ethiopian universities and other institutions of higher learning, while two professor are there in Mekelle University serving in the department of Sociology. Six of them teach in the Civil Services College, an institution under the Prime Minister's Office that is similar to Administrative Staff College.
