The results of excavations carried out in 2002-2003 at the Imperial granite quarries of Domitianè-Kainé Latomia at Umm Balad, in the eastern Egyptian desert, are presented. The archaeological interventions affected both the extraction fronts and the associated enclave, made up of a fort and a settlement linked to the workers. These facilities, together with information from numerous documented ostraka, provide information on the organization and accounting of the quarry.

  Despite the importance of therapeutic tourism, it faces great obstacles that limit the growth of the sustainability of its development, among the main obstacles that stand in the way of sustaining the development of therapeutic tourism in Wadi El- Natroun is the existence of an urban phenomenon that did not follow sustainable development in its design, with the absence of coordination between the ministries and relevant bodies. It is the absence of specific mechanisms and methodology for how to choose the most important criteria and sustainable planning indicators to assess the sustainability of therapeutic resorts, as it is considered one of the most important pillars of development for the sustainability of therapeutic tourism, in order to preserve the therapeutic area's resources from pollution resulting from human use, both in construction and operation In this way. The research provides a clearer picture for enabling the sustainable development of therapeutic tourism in Wadi El- Natroun through the preparation of a methodology and guidebook to enhance the sustainability of therapeutic tourism resorts in the region and their application in way that enables development decision- makers in the region to make rational and logical decisions regarding enabling sustainable development for therapeutic tourism development in it. And through both parts of theoretical research and analysis of the current situation in the study area, the most important results were reached the conclusion of a methodology and a guideline of the most important controls, determinants and sustainability indicators. It contains three criteria with eighteen basic determinants and eighty- one main indicators with the value of indicative relative weights divided as follows: Indicators of planning and design standards with a value of (40%)- Environmental standards indicators with a value of (35%)- Administrative and societal standards indicators with a value of (25%) , that are Serve as a checklist for developers and investors when preparing therapeutic tourism resorts in the design, management and operation processes to enable the sustainability of the development of desert therapeutic tourism on the site.The research ends with a set of recommendations, the most important of which is the need to apply the methodology and guidebook to therapeutic tourism resorts that are being prepared for in the region, it is considered one of the most important decision- making tools when planning to develop sustainable therapeutic tourism in the study area.

As I have recently seen certain cases of the curious hollowing out of rocks in Corsica, described by Mr. F. F. Tuckett (with a note from myself) in the January number of this Magazine, for which Mr. Lake suggested an explanation in the following number, I will add something to that note and intimate why I did not refer to desert regions for an explanation. The case which Mr. Lake mentions (“Das Gesetz der Wüstenbildung,” fig. 7) undoubtedly much resembles Mr. Tuckett's photographs, and so, to some extent, do figs. 16 and 17, more especially the latter. With these I was not then acquainted, perhaps having overlooked the book, because I wrote a notice of “Die Denudation in der Wüste,” when it appeared in 1891, and had formed the opinion that the author was disposed to work his hypothesis for rather more than it would stand. As, however, I knew there would shortly be a chance of my getting a glimpse of the Egyptian desert, I postponed stating why I had not suggested that kind of atmospheric erosion. In this region, however, I saw no more than I already knew, but on our return, owing to an unexpected change of plans, we spent an afternoon and part of the next day in harbour at Ajaccio, when, by a lucky chance, I hit upon some curious instances of erosion, which I think may be worth a brief description.

 In The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho projects Santiago communicating with Nature which he refers to as the common language of the world. A study of The Alchemist will reveal how Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a bounty treasure explores the wisdom of life. His quest for the treasure buried near the Pyramids propels him to enter an unchartered territory from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert. This paper aims to explore the ecological reflections mired with concepts of slants in philosophy. Ecology on one hand is considered as a branch of science but, despite providing erudition on the subject it is understood that it provides sagacity to understand the universe better. This paper rightly discusses the amalgamation of nature and literature. It is indeed a manifestation of the recurrently believed ideologies that connect human psyche and platitudes of the cosmos. The logos that interrelates the existing connection between the non human and the human species require an exceptional mastery. This paper will analyze and depict the emotions connected with nature from the spectacle of the Protagonist Santiago in The Alchemist.

This chapter considers borrowing as an important method of financing a company’s activities, and security as a right of recourse against company property if the loan is not repaid on time. It begins by discussing security for financial obligations, paying particular attention to security contracts, the redemption or discharge of security and the realisation of security. It then turns to the registration of non-possessory security contracts, the priorities of legal and equitable charges and floating charges as a form of security and their crystallisation. The extent to which the assets of a company to which anyone is considering extending credit are already charged as security is also explained. The chapter considers three particularly significant court cases: Evans v Rival Granite Quarries Ltd [1910] 2 KB 979; Re Spectrum Plus Ltd [2005] UKHL 41, [2005] 2 AC 680; and Re Yorkshire Woolcombers Association Ltd [1903] 2 Ch 284.
