TV/Movies › Re: Egypt Bans Movie 'exodus: Gods And Kings' by otosa(op): 10:23pm On Dec 27, 2014
mankand:
Dude it's not about Islam here, it's about lies. The movie had become a laughing stock due to its inaccuracy.

Most importantly ancient Egyptians (known as kemet) were blacks so why using a white character?

They portrayed the reign of pharaoh Ramses where Egyptians were building pyramids whereas Egyptians stopped building pyramids a thousand years before then.

The sole reason for banning the movie is due to the misinformation in the movie

You also need to know that ancient Egyptians were not Muslims as Egypt was also invaded by the Arabs and plunged into an Islamic country. The Arabs invaded Egypt at a time when the country is already weak at the point when they were recovering from the invasion of the Greeks and the Romans
I thought as much because if Egyptians were Muslims then the name (Egypt) it wouldn't have mentioned in the Bible at all. grin grin
TV/Movies › Egypt Bans Movie 'exodus: Gods And Kings' by otosa(op): 8:33pm On Dec 27, 2014
(CNN) -- Another Hollywood movie is running afoul of a foreign government this month.
"Exodus: Gods and Kings" was banned in Egypt.

"The Ministry of Culture bans the film 'Gods and Kings' for historical inaccuracies," the Egyptian agency said in a statement.

The movie, which stars Christian Bale as Moses, is a re-enactment of the biblical story of the Jews' escape from slavery in Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, during the time of the pharaohs. Australian actor Joel Hedgerton plays the Pharaoh Ramses in the 20th Century Fox production.
Egyptian Culture Minister Jabir Asfour slammed the film as "Zionist."

"It shows history from a Zionist viewpoint and forges historical events, therefore it is was banned in Egypt," according to state news agency EGYNews.

In 1956, the same biblical story was told in "The Ten Commandments" starring Charlton Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner as Ramses. That version was filmed on location in Egypt.

"Exodus" is the latest in Hollywood's string of religious-themed movies released this year.
In March, several Muslim countries banned the blockbuster "Noah," saying the depiction of Noah -- whom Muslims revere as a prophet -- is forbidden in Islam.

News of the ban comes on the heels of the limited release of "The Interview," the movie that provoked North Korea to vow "merciless" action against the United States over its lampooning of leader Kim Jong Un. On Saturday, North Korea called U.S. President Barack Obama the "chief culprit" who forced Sony to "indiscriminately distribute" the picture.

Run-off or what? this thing is very clear in sense that if the keeper and seeker have equal number in finding exercise, surely the seeker is the winner. meanwhile, my advice to INEC is that if they know how to keep something they should also remember the professor in searching .

Travel › U.S. Losing Its Appeal For Foreign Students by otosa(op): 11:58pm On Dec 02, 2014
Where the foreign Students go?

When it comes to studying abroad, the U.S. is no longer THE place to go.
A new global migration report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation shows American universities are losing their supreme position in the global education system.

In 2000, nearly one in four students looking for education abroad picked a college in the U.S.
In 2012 -- the latest year for which data is available -- it was just 16%.
Although the U.S. still attracts the highest proportion of foreign students, other countries are becoming increasingly popular, biting into the U.S. market share.
All other English-speaking developed countries and Spain have increased their share of foreign students.
The United Kingdom has seen the biggest growth in its share, trailing closely behind the U.S. with 12.6%. This is good news for British universities, as foreign students pay up to three times more in tuition than students from Britain and the EU.
South Korea has also increased its share dramatically, from less then 0.2% in 2000 to 1.3% in 2012.

More than 4.5 million students enrolled outside their own country in 2012, with three-quarters of them studying in developed countries. Over half came from Asia, with China now representing 22% of all international students, followed by India and Korea.
The OECD praises countries that welcome international students, saying they boost local economies, since they speak the language and employers understand their qualifications.

Jobs/Vacancies › Foreign Name? Expect A Tougher Job Hunt by otosa(op): 11:47pm On Dec 02, 2014
Foreign name? Expect a tougher job hunt

LONDON (CNNMoney)
Job seekers with foreign-sounding names have to send out twice as many resumes as candidates with "native" names before landing an interview.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development found that a foreign name makes the job search harder for applicants across all 17 developed countries it surveyed.

In the United States, the situation is the worst for people with distinctively "Black names," such as Jamal and Lakisha, researchers noted.
They have to send out twice as many resumes.
While the apparent discrimination is a global problem, not all immigrants are treated the same.
In Switzerland, for example, immigrants of Portuguese origin are nearly on a par with their Swiss rivals. But men of former Yugoslav origin have to send out 2.5 resumes for every one submitted by a Swiss applicant with the same qualifications.

Other minorities who suffer most include Nigerians in Austria, Turks in Belgium, immigrants from the Middle East in Sweden, and those from Africa and Germany looking for a job in Ireland.
All have to send more than twice as many applications to secure an interview.
The "name discrimination" mostly hurts the children of immigrants because they often have the same level of education as native job seekers, and a good grasp of the language. Their names, however, still sound "foreign."
If they do manage to secure an interview, job seekers with an immigrant background face a more level playing field as the recruitment process advances, the report found.

Here's a list of the worst call-back rates, representing the number of applications migrants have to send relative to those without an immigrant background:
Native Swedes of Middle-Eastern origin in Sweden 2.5
Men from former Yugoslavia in Switzerland 2.5
Africans in Ireland 2.4
Turks in Belgium 2.1
Blacks in the U.S. 2
Nigerians in Austria 2
Russians in Finland 2
Children of African immigrants in France 2

ayox2003:
Thia is just a meaningless digression: Comparing an elected president with a first lady is airy-fairy off-point.

What danger lies in having a woman as the ruler in a country as long as she's elected by a credible election? Sirleaf took a deadpan country after war into steady growth until Ebola struck! Angela Merkel, a woman, is one of the brightest German leaders ever. What about President Park Geun-Hye of South Korea? She has handled the country well. Or Prime Minister Erna Solberg of Norway? Or Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark? If things go well, Hilary Clinton would lead the whole world come 2016. So there is no danger in having women leaders.

Separate a randy Dame from women of calibre. Dame needs to be tamed!
