الدافع الرئيس للتسجيل و الحصول على بطاقة إنتخاب هو الشعور بأمكانية إحداث تغيير. من المحزن أن تصدر تلك البطاقة ولو جزئيا بنفس الطرق التي تأمل أن تراها تختفي.

اليوم ذهبت الى قسم الشرطة لأستخراج بعض الأوراق. صحيفة الحالة الجنائية و صور من شهادة الميلاد و السؤال عن بطاقة الإنتخاب.

بعد سؤال عدد من الأفراد، أنضممت لطابور رجال من مختلف الأعمار و الأشكال. جميعهم يرتدون ملابس بنية اللون و مخالفة لما تقترحه أشعة الشمس. جميعهم متشبث بنفس الأوراق متقدمين لنفس الغرض: صحيفة الحالة الجنائية.

[Wikipedia|http://en.wikipedia.org], the free encyclopedia which anyone can edit, reaches a new milestone. In a record 5 years, thousands of volunteers created the world's largest encyclopedia. It is probably one of the largest internet collaboration projects ever attempted.

From the press release:

It is impossible that 34 million people died in Europe in 3 years (1347-1350). The number is very large. It is also important to resist the numbers published by the West, it is a conspiracy to hurt Arabs and Muslims. There are secret Freemason documents that accurately describes the number to be around 4 thousand individuals died in Europe. When the disease reached Mecca and the Arab world it killed more people than in Europe. Everyone died in the Arab and Muslim world that no one was left to record the number of deaths. Not like what the crusaders wants the world to believe. The myth of the plague is to help the state of Israel to exist, since they thought that Jews were responsible for transmitting disease, they thought they would rather quarantine them in a state outside Europe and across the Mediterranean.

طالب اتحاد المهن الطبية أعضاءه من الأطباء البشريين والأسنان والصيادلة والبيطريين بضرورة الالتزام بمقاطعة المنتجات الدانمركية والنرويجية من الأدوية والأغذية والألبان وغيرها.

Interesting links I found by chance, that are not widely known. They are all tagged `[egypt|http://del.icio.us/whirlpool/egypt]' in my [bookmarks|http://del.icio.us/whirlpool/]:

This is a coca cola PR film made in the late 40s or early 50s in Egypt ... super cool and very funny. Worth the download.

Finally a live webcam in Egypt. I love webcams. Now this website allows you to take a look at the pyramids every now and then from anywhere. They have a few time-lapse videos too.

[Italian researchers published a research last November|http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/41/3/17] that suggests the condition of "falling in love" appears to be associated with elevated levels of a [nerve growth factor|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_growth_factor] in the bloodstream.

;:Enzo Emanuele of the University of Pavia and colleagues suspected that a diversity of biological mechanisms might be involved in precipitating the mental state called "falling in love," a state characterized by obsessive thinking about one's beloved, craving for union with him or her, euphoria, and increased energy. And one of the mechanisms that the researchers thought might be implicated are neurotrophins—brain chemicals that nourish nerves and that have been increasingly recognized as potential mediators of anxiety and other emotions.

This post is not pro or against the boycott of Danish products. I am just asking you a question. An ethical one.

There are two very important international Danish pharmaceuticals. [Lundbeck|http://www.lundbeck.com] and [Novo Nordisk|http://www.novonordisk.com]. Lundbeck is one of the leading companies in producing drugs for psychiatric and neurological disorders. Novo Nordisk is the one of leading companies in making products for diabetic patients, from insulin to hi-tech means of injecting it.

Few days ago the director of the psychiatry institute in Ain Shams University entered the weekly clinical conference holding a copy of the [Ahram|http://www.ahram.org.eg] newspaper opened on a full page apology by [Jyllands-Posten|http://www.jp.dk/] newspaper. Behind her two men stood by, with Lundebeck pins on their suits. Obviously they were lundbeck med-reps. Lundbeck is very generous when it comes to donating money to the institute or any scientific event organized by it. There is undisputable conflict of interests, if you look at it from the boycotting team. She said that they are going to photocopy the apology and hang it in several locations around, as patients want to stop their Danish medications. The patients are in protest and she refuses their demands. Another professor explains that they can replace some of the drugs by other alternatives, but there are some injections with no alternatives on the market.
