History :
Somali Culture of the Land of Punt, in the Somali Peninsula of the Horn of Africa ruled Egypt until Europ , Qayaad Muuse (Cadmos in european version) was an ancient Egyptian originally from the south of Egypt 'Dado', Thebes,he introduced the hieroglyphical alphabet in Greece .The current alphabet used by Europ ,was originally African and you can still explain the alphabet with the Somali language if you learn the hieroglyphical symbols of the pharaohs .For example the lettre 'b' was symbolized in Ancient Egyptian language by the image of a foot .Foot is called B-T, 'Biit,Biito' in Ancient Egyptian language and also in Somali language .A traditional game especially performed by Somali children repeats this word 'biito' by touching the feet, They say at the end 'Biitooy laabo' ='Bend your foot'biito'.So, don't think that the bet of alpha bet is from the 'beyt' which means 'house in arabic ,but from the bet ,beeto,(biito in somali) foot in Somali-Pharaonic language .Just observ the shape of letter 'b' which is not a house but a foot . We can continue this traditional symbology in the hieroglyphs ,another example is the letter 'M' symbolized by an owl called 'GuuMays' in Somali and Ancient Egyptian .Hieroglyphical alphabet was made by the pharaohs, excellent teachers who can help the children to remember easily the glyphs or letters. Somali language is a surviving Egyptian-Puntite language .Learn it ,because if your hieroglyphical dictionaries bother you, you need an indigenous culture from that language ,a culture ,a grammar ,a connexion of the words in order to build a sentence with sense .Indeed you can avoid many obstacles and understand many mysterious rites of the pharaohs still practiced by Somali people .
In “The Making of Egypt” (1939). Petrie states that the Land of Punt was “sacred to the Egyptians as the source of their race.”
« Again the representations of the early Puntites, or Somali people, on the Egyptian monuments, show striking resemblances to the Egyptians themselves. » By Brian Brown New York: Brentano's[1923]/ We can understand theses Similarities through their ancestral history :
"Encyclopædia Britannica describes Punt as follows: “in ancient Egyptian and Greek geography, the southern coast of the Red Sea and adjacent coasts of the Gulf of Aden, corresponding to modern coastal Eritrea, Somalia and Djibouti ."/
According to the historian Richard Pankhurst :"""The Egyptians sometimes called Punt land Ta-Netjeru, meaning "Land of the Gods," and considered it their place of origin ." (Richard Pankhurst, The Ethiopian Borderlands:1997) /
"In addition to the erection and endowments of many temples listed in the Palermo Stone, the Pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty were active, as the King Sahure (2458-2446 B.C.) from this Egyptian Old Kingdom, Dynasty V (2498-2491 B.C.). Egyptian ships also reached the shores of the land of Punt on the Somali coast to procure highly valued cargoes of myrrh, ebony and animals, among other goods.

The Queen and Female Pharaoh of Egypt sent a trade expedition to the Land of Punt , the Ancient kingdom of the Somalis , in the 15th century B-C. The Famous French Egyptologist Christiane D.Noblecourt , in his book "Hatshepsout ,the Mysterious Queen" said that the Ancient-Egyptians and The Puntites used to speak and communicate with the same language . Hatshepsut got also many products from the Land of Punt ,surnamed also , the Land of gods , ancestors ,"Ta - An- Jirnay "; as the frankincense , myrrh, ebony, gold , and exotic animals ,Cheetahs, giraffes, baboons, etc .Also ,in order to reinforce the mutual relationships, a Puntite delegation was sent to the Ancient Egypt during the reign of Hatshepsut .
" According to the Ancient Egyptians themselves , the egyptians came from the Land of Punt, the land of gods,ancestors and even , Queen Hatshepsout of Egypt (15th century B-C) said that Hathor The mistress of Punt ,her mother was from the land of Punt ,from "Buun" the ancient name of Somalia ! To conclude ,"Buun" means in Somali "Horn" and the Land of "Buun" (or Punt in european language) is located in the the Horn of Africa, in the Somali territories, " by Abdisalam Mahamoud .

Today, the frankincense-yielding areas in Somalia are still extensive, but the trees are confined to mountain areas, which makes collection difficult; the stands on the coast have long since been destroyed. The trees introduced into Egypt have like wise vanished, and only the bas-reliefs in Thebes are left to tell the story of the wonderland of Punt. -- [forestry department]

The greek historian Diodorus of Sicily in his book "Universal history "said that in 6th century before-J-Christ , because of a political crisis in Egypt and the euro-asiatics's infiltrations in Egypt , more than 200 thousands of ancient-egyptians migrated in the south of the Nile by crossing Nubia-Ethiopia with their ships ,in the direction of North- Eastern of Africa (Now, Somalia ,Djibouti,Ethiopia ...) ./ This last historical fact can explain why the somali language is a survived ancient-egyptian language ,according to the british linguist :"The language of ancient Egypt belonged to the Hamitic group;today, of course, the language of
Egypt is a form of Arabic, but a descendant of the ancient Hamitic
language of Egypt, Coptic, survived until about the fifteenth
century, and is still used as the liturgical language of the Coptic
Church.Surviving Hamitic languages are spoken across a large part of North Africa and include Somali." (The english language ,A Historical Introduction," by Charles Barber .)
Even, the genetic research prove that the somali DNA is originally from Egypt => Haplogroup E1b1b1a (V68) :19th century before J-Christ => Place of origin : Egypt and northern Soudan . Extract of the genetic research émoticône frown More recently, Tillmar et al. (2009) typed 147 males from Somalia for 12 Y-STR loci, and observed that 77% (113/147) had typical E1b1b1a1b haplotypes. This is currently the highest frequency of E1b1b1a1b found in any single sample population. Similarly, Hassan et al. (2008) in their study observed this to be the most common of the sub-clades of E-M78 found in Sudan, especially among the Beja, Masalit and Fur. The Beja, like Somalis and Oromos, speak an Afro-Asiatic language and live along the "corridor" from Egypt to the Horn of Africa.)

The Office of Student Life hosted Culture fest in which dozens of diverse departments from across the university and the globe participated and showed their colors, national pride and cultures.
After more than a full day of travel we arrived at Denpensar late at night. We spent the next two days exploring Kuta. It was definitely culture shock and the heat and humidity absolutely zapped us. The first things we noticed was that the Balinese love big statues and there seemed to be more temples and churches than people.
I took these photos in mid-April 2022.
Inventory and Space Management
Inventory management is key to our growth - order too much and we are stuck with too much stock and less cash flow - order too less and we can't meet demand.
Location and layout of inventory is important too and is decided when examining workflows and how to optimize them even more.

There is considerable research to suggest that many East Asians, at least from Hong Kong (e.g. Morris and Peng, 1994 or Norasakkunkit and Uchida, 2011a for a review on Japan) are bi-cultural in that they retain Asian culture while having been influenced by Western culture.
To my mind the Westernisation of the Japanese remains fairly superficial, in that while Japanese, especially young Japanese, now have bleached hair, double eyelids and avow Western values, such as autonomy and choice, they are "eggs", or my neologism bean-bread men, white on the outside but still thoroughly Japanese underneath.
An "egg," is a racial slur referring to a while male that has Japanised his heart partly in order to date Japanese women. In that sense I am attempting to be an egg. I am definitely white on the inside. I am not sure if I have succeeded 'yellowing' my heart.
The bean bread is made of an outsider layer of bread (often associated with Western society) coating a heart of sweet brown beans - a Japanese delicacy that is rather alien, not to say disgusting, to many Westerners. I love it.
I think to an extent many Japanese have become superficially Westernised, like bean bread. I do not see this as being a slur. The ability to incorporate, innovate, and create a hybrid - such as the bean bread - is famed facet of Japanese cultural evolution.
I worry though. I think that bread and bean paste don't mix and because it seems that some Japanese are becoming melon bread, a sort of soggy sweet bread with none of the important Japanese filling, or gumption, underneath.
In some important research by Norasakkunkit and Uchida (2011b) it was found that while non-marginalised Japanese youth in higher education showed the Japanese pattern of persevering more under critical conditions than under praise, the marginalised (NEET) youths needed -- like young Americans but possibly not as successfully American as young Americans -- needed to be praised.

The ancient high cultures that lived along the banks of the Nile believed in eternal life. The bodies of the dead were embalmed to withstand the ravages of time, so that their immortal souls would have a home to live in.
Later on, in Europe many inventive uses were devised for embalmed bodies. Ground mummy was used as a medicine, and was a popular colouring agent, for example, in oil paints and watercolours. The shade was known as Egyptian Brown.
In England, at the end of the 19th century, 180,000 mummified cats were ground to powder, and the resultant 19.5 tonnes of mummy dust sold as fertilizer.

Anime Midwest 2023 is a family-friendly anime convention in Rosemont, Illinois. This three-day event focuses on video gaming, Japanese anime, Japanese manga, and bringing authentic Japanese culture and anime to life.
The Japanese term Kawaii [かわいい] has been in urban dictionaries for a while now but its finally made its debut into the Oxford English dictionary.
"kawayusu" [かわゆす] is the short form of "Kawaii Desu" and one can also use the term "Kawaii-ssune" [かわいいっすね].
"Kawaii" is also often written in katakana like [カワイイ].
Be careful how you pronounce "Kawaii" because if you say it like "Kowaii" [怖い] then it means "scary" ^^;
Other Japanese terms that have made it to the English dictionary are Bokeh [ぼけ] which refers to the out of focus background in photos and tsunami. I think it will only be a matter of time before "Oppai" makes its debut too ^^;
What other Japanese words do you think should make it into the Oxford English Dictionary?
There is a poll embedded in this article.
