What are the three divided parts of the Egyptian calendar?
The Egyptian calendar was divided into 12 months of 30 days, and it also added 5 extra epagomenal days every year to bring the total number of days to 365. The calendar was divided into 3 seasons of 120 days in length, and these seasons were related to the cycles of the Nile River. These three seasons were known as Inundation, Emergence, and Low Water.
haven't you seen the news? egypt is in turmoil. it has an islamic fundamentalist government who are determined to turn the country into more thirld world than it was before. teaching english won't be high on their agenda! answer: those holy days were set for jews. christians have different holy days - christmas, easter (instead of passover). they also don't adhere to the 613 laws jews were instructed to follow.

the christians that try to overlay their religion onto jewish holidays and rituals aren't an answer either because they dishonor both religions and dilute both of them. jesus celebrated passover, he wasn't part of passover. the holes in the matzo do not represent crucifixion wounds, etc. 3 3/7 days the correct one should be:
1) tibet is part of china.
if you divide china inot many parts, then it is correct to say tibet is a part of china. but china is not divided into parts and therefore, technically you cannot say tibet is a part of china.
but if you replace the word "part" with "province", then the sentence should read as tibet is a province in china. tibet is one of provinces in china.

你當然亦常見到有人用 tibet is a part of china，雖然唔可以話錯，但仍是tibet is part of china比較啱。

注意如用tibet is part of china，part是uncountable。如用tibet is a part of china，則part是當countable，究竟是uncountable還是countable，可以拗天光。 the differences between sunni and shī‘ah sects of islam started out as political over a dispute of who should become the leader after muhammad's death. over time, differences have evolved in theological issues as well as socio‑political attitudes. 

immediately following the death of muhammad in 632 c.e., the issue of who would become his successor caused a major rift. ali and aisha are the central figures at the origin of the shī‘ah-sunni split. muhammad's daughter fatima married ali, her father's first cousin. ali was opposed by aisha, muhammad's child-bride who was the daughter of abu bakr. 

the term shī‘ah ( شيعة‎) is a shortened form of shī‘aht ali (شيعة علي) , which means "the followers of ali" - and at the time of ali's death in 661 c.e., that is probably all it was: a party or tendency of people who supported ali's claims to the caliphate. shī‘ah do not worship ali as some people mistakenly believe. shī‘ah feel that ali should have been the first caliph and that the caliphate should pass down only to direct descendants of mohammed via ali and fatima, they often refer to themselves as ahl al bayt or "people of the house" [of the prophet]. sunni ( سني) comes from sunna ( سنة) the arabic word meaning traditions of the prophet. sunni are also referred to as ahl ul-sunna wa-l-jama'ah (arabic: أهل السنة والجماعة) (people of tradition and congregation) which implies that the sunni are united. shī‘ah sects include twelvers, ismaili, alawi and zaidiyyah.

beliefs "aqeedah" ( عقيدة) —
sunni have two sets of enumerated creeds, the six articles of belief and the five pillars of islam. on the other hand, shī‘ah twelvers have the roots of religion and the branches of religion. 

the six sunni articles of belief (see shi'ah roots) are:
o- tawhīd ( توحيد) (monotheism) allah is the one and only one worthy of all worship. 
o- nubuwwah (prophethood) and rusul (messengers) sent by allah. 
o- kutub (books) allah (including the qur'an) 
o- mala'ika (angels) 
o- qiyâmah (يوم القيامة) (day of resurrection and judgment) (qur'an 71.18) (qur'an 31.34, 74.47) (qur'an 72.130) (qur'an 74.9) (qur'an 74.38)
o- qadar (fate) 

the five shī‘ah "usūl al-dīn" (roots of religion) are: 
o- tawhīd ( توحيد) (monotheism) allah is the one and only one worthy of all worship. (tawhid is derived from the root a,h,d = one)
o- nubuwwah (prophethood)
o- adalah (justice)
o- imāmah (leadership)
o- qiyâmah (يوم القيامة) (day of judgment)
(qur'an 71.18) (qur'an 31.34, 74.47) (qur'an 72.130) (qur'an 74.9) (qur'an 74.38).

the sunni five pillars of islam:
o- shahādah (testimony of faith)
o- salāt (prayer) 5 times per day
o- sawm (fasting during daylight hours of the month of ramadan) (qur'an 2:183-185)
o- zakāt (alms of 2.5%) - khums (the charity of 20%)
o- hajj (pilgrimage to mecca) 

the twelve shī‘ah "furū al-dīn" (branches of religion) are: 
o- salāt (prayer) includes shahādah (testimony of faith) with belief in ali (3-5 times per day)
o- sawm (fasting during daylight hours of the month of ramadan) (qur'an 2:183-185)
o- zakāt (poor-rate) khums (one-fifth)
o- hajj (pilgrimage to mecca) 
o- jihād جهاد‎ (struggle to please allah) 
o- walayah - guardianship
o- taharah - purity & cleanliness
o- amr-bil-ma'rūf (enjoining what is good) 
o- nahi-anil-munkar (forbidding what is evil) 
o- tawalla (loving ahl al-bayt and their followers ) 
o- tabarra (disassociating from the enemies of the ahl al-bayt) 

kutub given to prophets by allah 
o- sahífa (scroll revealed to nuh)
o- sahífa (scroll revealed to ibráhím)
o- taurat (the book revealed to músa)
o- zabúr (the psalms revealed to dawúd)
o- injíl (the gospel revealed to 'isa)
o- qur'án (the koran revealed to muhammad)

the sunni shahada is:
لا إله إلا الله ومحمد رسول الله lā 'ilāha 'illā llāha wa muhammadun rasūlu llāhi
the shi'ah shahada is:
la iláha il alláh, muhammadan rasúl alláh, 
-- and the phrase -- alíyun walí-alláh, wasíyu rasulillah, wa khalífa tuhu bila fasl.
"there is no god but alláh, muhammad is the messenger of alláh, alí is the friend of alláh. ali is the successor of the messenger of allah and his first caliph."

ashura ( عاشوراء‎) - 10th of muharram (january 29, 2007):
the 1st of muharram is new year's day, and with it marks the beginning of the islamic (hijri) calendar. both sunni and shī‘ah celebrate new year. shī‘ah practice maatam (self-flagellation) is practiced on ashura, the 10th of muharram, in a mourning ritual for hussain ibn ali. sunni consider this to be haram (forbidden).

since the 10th century, a distinctive institution of shī‘ah islam is the doctrine of "imamah" and "`ismah" (the spiritual leadership of the twelve imams and their infallibility) the other dogmata developed still later. shī‘ah argue that a person prone to errors of judgement and sin cannot lead people spiritually. on the other hand, sunni consider an imam to be merely a prayer leader. 

sunni recognize four "madhab" (مذهب pl. مذاهب ) schools of legal thought. the founder is called the "muhaddith".
--o hanafi (founded by an numan ibn thabit abu hanifa ca. 700-67 c.e.) 
--o maliki (founded by abd allah malik ibn anas ca. 715-95 c.e.) 
--o shafi'i (founded by muhammad ibn idris ash-shafi`i 767-820 c.e.) 
--o hanbali (founded by ahmad ibn muhammad bin hanbal 780-855 c.e.) 

shī‘ah generally follow 
--o jafri (founded by ja'far ibn muhammad ibn ali ibn husayn)

sunni accepted "ijtihad" as an important source of legislation, but they had practically blocked the road for any original thinking on the matters of reframing the laws in accordance with changing times. the shī‘ah, with their emphasis on "`aql", kept the door of new thinking on legislation open, and they gave much scope to reason for exercising its power. similarly the notion of "ijma`" (consensus), which was emphasized much by the sunnis and was given only a very minor role to play in legislation by the shī‘ah, came to be accepted as the basis of democratization by shī‘ah scholars.

so far as the justification of "taqiyyah" (dissimulation) is concerned, the islamic scholar amini admits that the sunni also follow it for it is an expedient method to ensure the survival of a faith under hostile regimes. 

according to the islamic scholar, hamid enayet, sunni believe in the inherent goodness of man, whereas shī‘ah believe that man is essentially sinful and carries a sense of guilt. 

shī‘ah divorce and inheritance in that it is more favorable to women than sunni practice. supposedly the reason for this is the high esteem in which fatima, the wife of ali and the daughter of muhammad, was held. shī‘ah recognize the practice of "muttah" ( نكاح المتعة‎ ) (fixed-term temporary marriage) which the sunni forbid.

on a practical daily level, the "adhan" (call to prayer) is different for shī‘ah and sunni. each practice wudu (partial ablutions) ghusl (full ablutions for friday prayer) and salat (prayer) differently. during salat when prostrating, shī‘ah place the forehead onto a piece of hardened clay from karbala, not directly onto the prayer mat, whereas sunni put their forehead directly on the prayer mat. during prayer, shī‘ah hold their hands at their sides whereas sunni fold their hands. shī‘ah tend to combine prayers, sometimes worshipping three times per day instead of five as the sunni do. 

shī‘ah also have some different ahadith and prefer those narrated by ali and fatima to those related by other companions of the prophet. because of her opposition to ali, those narrated by aisha count among the least favored. 

these differences are significant as evidenced by the conflict between sunni and shī‘ah in iraq.

significant differences are also in manner of dress for clerics, slightly different postures for prayer and differences regarding belief in the "mahdi" (divinely guided one of endtimes) and "dajjal" (antichrist). 

other differences are because of the culture in the country where they live. iran is predominantly shī‘ah and many of the clerics in iraq were trained in iran. almost all iranians were sunni for many centuries, and they embraced the shī‘ah faith on mass scale only after safawids came in power (1502 c.e.) 

in 1928, four years after the abolishment of the caliphate, the egyptian schoolteacher hasan al-banna founded the first islamic fundamentalist movement in the sunni world, the muslim brotherhood (al-ikhwan al-muslimun). al-banna was appalled by "the wave of atheism and lewdness [that] engulfed egypt" following world war i.

. allie, just because some entertainment is not listed on the daily show times calendar does not mean that it is not going to happen. some of the entertainment is listed on the daily show times calendar months ahead of time. other entertainment options get listed only days before the actual date. some still never make it up there at all. so if they are listed on the website, they should be performing. now of course there can be operational cancellations that can't be predicted, but if they were gone for good, they would remove them from the website. check the times guide as you enter epcot and you should see their performance times listed there. by the way, typically the jeweled dragon acrobats perform mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays, hourly from around 3 in the afternoon until around 7 in the evening. have a magical vacation! a)

if you are referring to the test for the AC position in London, until the end of last year it was structured in two parts. The first part is related to a personality test. The second is related to logical, numerical and verbal reasoning sections. Logical and numerical are SHL-style, unlike the other parts.


Bain also has a different test in South America, also divided into two parts. The first part is GMAT-style with critical reasoning, data sufficiency and problem solving. The second part is business-case-related with multiple choices, somehow similar to the BCG potential test.
