Mt. Fuji today observed from a Tokyo skyscraper looked very unique.
The great volcano was accompanied with its own shadow in the air. The setting sun shed orange rays to Mt. Fuji from its rear as observed from Tokyo situated eastward from the highest mountain in Japan. But, its shade was projected to thin cloudy air around it. So, when observed from Tokyo, Mt. Fuji looked as if it had its own shadow behind it; but actually it was in front of it or to the Tokyo side.

Onsi Sawiris - The Richest man in Africa
Last Updated: 1/17/2010 1:50:47 PM
Meet Africa's richest man and he didn't have to be a Head of State to get there.....
Of course we have all heard of the vast fortunes stolen form their countries by the likes of Sani Abacha, Mobutu Sese-Seko and other of Africa’s less illustrious sons. We are inundated with tales of massive corruption and blatant greed from across Africa, what we don’t hear enough of those who are the entrepreneurs, the commercial magnates, and the titans of industry.
Well the ClickAfrique team has decided to do just that and we profile Onsi Sawiris who is widely believed to be the richest business magnate in Africa.
Born 76 years ago in the Sohag a predominately Coptic city in Upper Egypt halfway between Aswan and Cairo, Sawiris enjoyed an early life typical of the Upper Egyptian gentry that his family was part of, later on heading off to University where he received a degree designed to prepare him for managing the family’s land holdings. Working on the land however did not appeal to the young Sawiris and instead in turned his mind to construction, setting up a contracting firm, which operated initially in Upper Egypt but later on, moved its operations to Cairo and the delta provinces.
His firm enjoyed a lot of success and benefited from the patronage of the Egyptian government, which meant by the 60’s it had grown into one of the largest construction firms in Egypt. The 60’s however were turbulent times for the country and Sawiris found his firm swept up in the nationalisation fever that swept the country under the leadership of Gamal Abdel Nasser...
Two companies that have been spawned from the Sawiris’s original business Orascom Telecom and Orascom Construction Industry rate amongst the largest companies in the world. Sawiris will certainly be proud of his success as Forbes Magazine hailed him amongst the riches men in the world with a fortune of $4.8 Billion ranking him as the 129th richest man in the world.

Egypt plagued with street children
By JOSEPH MAYTON AND RACHELLE KLIGER / THE MEDIA L
03/30/2010 17:51
Cairo is struggling with an alarming number of homeless children.
Dina, now 13, and Salma, 11, are two of Egypt’s street children, whose numbers are estimated anywhere between 90,000 and 1 million.
The Egyptian government admits that the number of street children is on the rise, and in 2003 adopted a new national strategy for the protection and rehabilitation of street children, which tasked the National Council for Childhood and Motherhood (NCCM) with coordinating the efforts of NGOs and relevant governmental organizations.
A government survey in 2009 suggested that 42 percent of street children in Egypt are school dropouts, and 30 percent had never attended school at all. Many are ignorant about health, hygiene, and nutrition and deprived of services. As children living on the fringe subsist on an inadequate diet, they are often malnourished and most of them are illiterate.
Today, Dina and Salma have a garden to call home. It is a rundown, abandoned houseboat, and they have a little shelter with wooden walls taken from the house.
Nobody bothers them, they say.

The God said to his followers that if they had taken poisonous foods, they would not have been harmed.
So, if you are a follower of the God Almighty, you would not die if you caught the flu.
Christ Jesus gave his disciples power to cure the sick. So, if you are a follower of the God Almighty, you would have power to cure those who have caught the flu.
In either case, a man or a woman lives as long as predetermined by the God Almighty. Yet, the joy of recovering from illness is very precious. It is so, since there are many who are suffering fatal diseases.
And, a charm against evils, such as a pendant of a cross, might not be so bad at all, though I have never possessed it since I was not raised up in a Christian environment.

What are beautiful in Europe have been traditionally girls.
What are beautiful in the Islamic world are images of the paradise.
What ate beautiful in India have been various phases of life.
What are beautiful in China have been traditionally riches.
What is beautiful in Japan is Cherry blossoms.
Anyway, even Christ Jesus admitted that some people have minds looking outwardly beautifully white, but their inside is full of rotten bones and dusts.
May the grace of Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
