Thermal power station - Wikipedia
A thermal power station is a power station in which heat energy is converted to electric power.In most places the turbine is steam-driven.Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator.After it passes through the turbine the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated. This is known as a Rankine cycle.

19. Do you usually remain friends with your exes?
Some yes, some no. There's one lover who after 20 years still sends me birthday presents and we keep in touch via snail mail. My first husband is very uncomfortable around me, but he's such a nerd he's that way with everyone.
Some people you love forever even though the relationship didn't work out. Some you run and hide if you see them coming.
Keep in mind, I'm 70, and a great many of my former partners, lovers, and husbands are dead. I'm a big believer in forgiveness and while I'm not like close friends with all my exes nor do we hang out, I don't hate them.

01: What's the difference between West End theatres and Fringe theatres?
Read the section Overview Of London Theatre, where we explain the differences between West End and Fringe theatres.
02: What are Previews? Can we attend Previews?
Generally, previews are performances that allow the director and production team to make changes or for the cast to become settled in their part before the show is attended by theatre critics. Most plays have only a few days previews and do not normally change much, if at all! However new musicals can sometime have a couple of weeks previews and several changes can take place before the critics review it on opening night (press night). The general public can buy tickets for previews, and in some cases the price is reduced. Generally, you won't find much difference between a show in previews and when it is technically 'opened'!
03: How do I buy tickets for a London show?
04: How far in advance must one purchase tickets?
If you really want to see a particular show we always advise to book as early as you can. However, a couple of weeks in advance should be fine for most shows, but probably a month or two for Saturday evening performances of very popular shows, such as "Mamma Mia" and "The Lion King". However, many shows have tickets still available on the day, particularly midweek performances and matinees.
05: If the show I want to see is sold out, what can I do ?
Contact us. We have access to the largest ticket stock in the West End, and can often get hold off tickets for sold out performances.
06: We are coming to the West End in a few months. How often do productions change? That is, should we decide what we want to see and buy tickets now, or should we expect new shows to open before we arrive and so wait and see what develops?
Mostly the long running musicals are always here. However there can be quite a few changes over a period of a couple of months, with some productions closing and new ones opening. We suggest you book now for the shows you really want to see and then wait until a couple of weeks before you are due to arrive to book the rest.
07: Can you recommend the best shows playing in London at the moment?
Opinions vary so much. We suggest you look at the reviews section of this web site to read what the popular press are saying!
08: Are theatres open seven days a week and on Bank Holidays?
There are several London theatres which are open on Sundays, however most open Monday - Saturdays. Generally, theatres remain open as usual during Christmas, New Year and UK bank holidays. However, they all close on Christmas Day itself! Most theatres will have an earlier start time on Christmas Eve and many have extra matinee performances over the festive period.
09: In my country we tip theatre ushers. Do you tip theatre ushers in London, if so how much?
No, we do not tip theatre ushers here in London, I think they would be embarrassed if you did!
10: Do I have to wear formal or informal clothes when I go to the theatre?
It does not matter what you wear. You will not look out of place whether you wear a Suit and Tie, or Jeans and a T-shirt.

Q: firestore order by descending breaks when using startAfter I have a function here that is being used to fetch all the documents in a collection.
The information returned is paginated and will only return the next documents when the user scrolls down the page.
export function fetchScreamsFromFirestore(limit, lastDocSnapshot = null) {
  let screamsRef = db
    .collection('screams')
    .orderBy('createdAt')
    .startAfter(lastDocSnapshot)
    .limit(limit);

  return screamsRef;
}

When I add the 'desc' argument to this function like so:
export function fetchScreamsFromFirestore(limit, lastDocSnapshot = null) {
  let screamsRef = db
    .collection('screams')
    .orderBy('createdAt', 'desc')
    .startAfter(lastDocSnapshot)
    .limit(limit);

  return screamsRef;
}

It then returns nothing. Any thought on how I can fix this?

A: I am a little late here but I think this might just be a syntax issue?
Try...
    export function fetchScreamsFromFirestore(limit, lastDocSnapshot = null) {
  let screamsRef = db
    .collection('screams')
    .orderBy('createdAt', descending: true)
    .startAfter(lastDocSnapshot)
    .limit(limit);

  return screamsRef;
}

So...picking up where I left off in the last blog!
After we left Disney, my in-laws, my parents, BW Groom and I headed to Innisbrook, where my parents live for the winter. They had made an appointment with their wedding planner for the next day, and I was excited to see what kinds of amenities my other childhood vacation "home" had to offer.
I was pretty convinced on this particular spot. Our coordinator showed us a couple other options, but this was really the obviously best choice. However - the price for this space was almost exactly the same price as Disney's Yacht Club Gazebo. Hmmm.
Then we went onto reception spaces. As I mentioned before, BW Groom and I were not interested in a standard banquet-hall room. Why were we making our guests come all this way, just to go into any old ballroom? Additionally, my in-laws happen to manage a banquet facility in Connecticut, and if that was the route we wanted to go, then we would have just gotten married back east.
"Where am I...Cleveland? Schenectady? Tucson?"
"Wait, aren't I just a hallway outside the ballroom? That doesn't count as unique..."
I had heard through the grapevine that you could rent out the largest pool on the property, and do a reception there. But realistically speaking, we could not expect our guests to sit out in the sweltering July Florida sun for both the ceremony and reception. That's just mean! And while you could probably have the area tented and air-conditioned, I think we'd be spending half our budget on making our guests not sweat. That just doesn't seem like a practical use of our budget.
"I am beautiful, but your guests might also die."
On top of not loving any of the reception options, we found that the pricing wasn't all that different from Disney. Slightly less, but not significantly so. Not enough to counteract the fact that you aren't at Disney and have all the Disney amenities!
At this point, we kind of looked at each other and said, "Um, what other options can we even consider?" No matter how you sliced it, even if we had the wedding in Connecticut (where BW Groom is from) or Chicago (where I'm from), we'd have a ton of people traveling. We couldn't come up with any other ideas that made sense for both of our families and friends.
So, I spent an hour on the phone with a Disney Sales Consultant crunching numbers, going through options, asking about 6,386 questions, and generally driving her crazy. I even recorded the conversation so that I could listen to it later in case I forgot what she had said (something I definitely recommend!) She generously gave us some sample cost proposals for a wedding of our size, and we discussed it with our parents. While Disney didn't come cheap, it didn't really come any MORE expensive than a wedding in any large metropolitan city (aka Chicago or near-NYC/CT) which we were bound to have, given our locations.
Disney told us we wouldn't be able to sign a contract until exactly a year out from our preferred date. They also recommended submitting our first 3 choices of dates, in case other couples wanted our dates/venues and we ended up in a "lottery" system.
So...we figured, what do we have to lose? We can at least submit our date requests...THAT doesn't cost any money.
So we did. And we kept our fingers crossed.
It is fun re-living all of this! Good summation of Innisbrook's options!

Justices Weigh Striking Down DOMA
Updated 04.21.17 11:58AM ET / Published 03.27.13 12:17PM ET
JEWEL SAMAD / AFP
The tea leaves seem a little clearer today, with Justice Anthony Kennedy joining the four liberals on the Supreme Court in questioning the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples. The court-watching website SCOTUSblog said Wednesday that it looks "80 percent likely" that the Supreme Court will strike down DOMA. But the conservatives on the court questioned President Obama's unwillingness to defend DOMA in 2011—a possible sign that they could be cautious about striking down the law. The now widely unpopular law, signed in 1996, bans any federal institution from recognizing same-sex marriage.

His compositional style is some of the first true polyphony ('more than one voice') we know of after Gregorian Chant, at least looking through the Western/European lens. Don thought it would be cool to set something of his (hers?) up for our Guitar Cult.
This is actually maybe the 1st 1/3rd of the piece Viderunt Omnes. We just moved our piano back home, and I used it to full effect: I rested the amp on the sustain pedal, aimed at the soundboard, and recorded each part. Lots of resonance.
Be able to pull your awareness back to now – be here now – when need be.
This piece is fun to play as an exercise in awareness. I developed a few of these pieces as a challenge to dexterity as well as awareness.
Read bar 1, then examine bar 2. Barely a change, right? Each bar introduces a new, very slight change, that will mess with your muscle memory.
Play bar 1 until you know it by heart, and look at repeated bar number 2. Do you make a mistake playing bar 1?
Try to picture playing bar 2 while playing bar 1. What do you observe?
Would this be easier or more difficult if it was written in 4/4 time, or in exact time signatures (13/16 in bar 1, for example)?
Going through an archive of my 90s-era site, I found this transcription of the head to Eric Dolphy's Something Sweet, Something Tender, from his classic Out To Lunch.
I organized a concert for my brother's movie Shag Carpet Sunset, and wrote this for my friends Greg Sinibaldi and Josh Stewart to lead our pickup band through. A beautiful tune.
Many of my pieces are born out of repetition and focus.
I start my practice sessions connecting with my inner calm, and approach my practice sessions from a place of beginner's minded discovery. What was the first time you played anything? I was so free. I want to get back there every time I make sound.
Start playing and notice where your hands go, without controlling them. Observe what happens. My muscle memory takes over, and I make something that sounds somewhere between spaghetti western, recitative, koto and space. Rhythm free. It takes me 5-10 minutes to warm up this way, then I can focus on some trance-inducing exercises.
You get the idea – there are multiple approaches to playing with scale material which I permute with groupings of 1-6 (I usually stop there, but you need not). You will find something worthy of repeating and permuting with time spent. I will quickly find something deserves technical attention and needs to be played slower and with more presence of mind. In slowing it down, I will hone in on something to repeat, which leads to permutations, and ultimately to something resembling a piece of music.
I've writing a bunch of music this way, which I'll be diving into here. For me, these scale fragments permute into something engaging for the ear and hand.
Start by sitting and observing what you naturally do.
Begin to add structure with simple scale exercises.
Look for interesting things to focus on and repeat, then evolve these to new exercises.
Any of this, of course, can be fodder for new music.
The first half of 2017 was a busy time for me as I delved deeper into composing for a group of electric guitars, culminating in Mandalas being performed as part of the UW's Alumni Alchemy (we are all alchemists now – very validating). What did I learn?
Have a goal lined up, or interest dwindles (duh).
The more the merrier in the case of this piece/anything where Ebows are concerned.
and, finally, a shot of the group after our Chapel show.
If you're someone who's wanted to do some deep listening with other guitarists, if you've wanted to delve into the range of this instrument in a group setting, if you've wanted to play a different role in a group than you have before – this is your group.
You'll notice some Ebow (http://www.ebow.com) work as well as some work (4th movement above) with a similar device created by Portland inventor Paul Vo, the Wond (http://www.paulvo.com/). I'll be supplying Ebows to those who do not have them, and will work with each of you on technique if need be. I'm working on Mr. Vo to see if we can't secure some of his experimental devices as well.
I have one performance scheduled either May 25 and 26 at Good Shepherd Chapel in Seattle, and will be scheduling others once I know the size of my group and availability. I'm looking for at least 7 of you, and hoping for twice that.
Leading into May, I'm looking to rehearse twice a month, beginning the week of Feb 2/21. If you are interested, please respond – I look forward to hearing from you. I have a small space in Fremont which should accommodate us, but have access to bigger rehearsal space if need be.
All parts will include tablature, so the majority of the reading will be around rhythm, dynamics and technical notes. Some of the pieces are challenging and we'll want to be tight and practice on our own outside of rehearsals, but you won't need to read any crazy busy passages without tab to help.
If you know any interested guitarists – please pass the message on!
I remember hearing Ionisation for the first time in 10th grade. Zappa had crowed about Varèse and I must've picked that up somewhere.
I bought the Robert Craft recording with the awesome Miro knockoff on the cover, all scratched to hell. There was a punk-rockness I felt that was way more powerful than anything I felt from Black Flag, fIREHOSE or Minor Threat (huge groups for me). This was ME, MINE, a sound only I knew. It was so noisy and disorganized to me initially, I was overloaded. I wish I could re-experience it now.
"By brute force, I will understand this," I thought echoing in my mind Varèse's call to arms: "the present day composer refuses to die." I spun it another time, maybe 4 complete listens before I caved and put on something else. I tried repeatedly to penetrate the fog, only to identify favorite moments, the overall structure still elusive. Call in the big guns.
When you hear a young person's curious questions, hang out and answer them simply. This advice from my teacher was pivotal for me, a key unlocking every score I'd tried to follow. Varese had a beat, the rhythm was his blanket. Listen for the rhythm, identifying the layers, and you're halfway there. The next step's all about witnessing the counterpoints played by these layers (objects) and identifying how they make you feel, what they have you see.


Jan. 23rd, 2019, Economics and Business Faculty student Kateryna Polovinchuk, a professional billiards player, graduated at the top of her class.
During graduation ceremonies, Acting Rector Dr. Inga Žalėnienė awarded a Leader's diploma to Kateryna due to her excellent grade scores.
She is only one of 2 students in the Faculty to be awarded such a diploma during graduation ceremonies. The other student is: Hanna Khlebarudava from Belarus.
Early in 2018 Polovinchuk was ranked 6th in the European Women Billiards Ranking, after placing 5th in the European Cup in Salzburg, Austria held in April.
Consistently, she places among 50 of the best European female billiards athletes finding time to hone her skills as well as devote time to studies at MRU.


IPhone 8 Production pictures – Apple seems to have already started with the production of the iPhone 8, because first production pictures are currently dipped. The leaked components provide information about new features in the Apple anniversary smartphone.
According to a tweet from Steve Hemmerstoffer aka OnLeaks, the Apple iPhone 8 could be presented on September 6th. The date is probably the result of previous invitations and previous appointments.
As already suspected of OnLeaks, are now first pictures of parts to the iPhone 8 dived. The website Slashleaks has published among other things a picture of the display, which gives information about the nearly borderless screen. In addition, Slashleaks has also developed a picture of a radiograph, not sure if it is a photo of the iPhone 8 or iPhone 7s.
Where does Apple place the fingerprint sensor?
If the photo from the display is not a fake, the iPhone 8 is equipped with a very narrow display frame. It assumes a diagonal of 5.8 inches. At the upper edge, various recesses, which are intended for sensors, can be seen. Probably also sits there the front camera, the Irisscanner and an infrared transmitter. It is not clear whether Apple will use an OLED or LCD display for the iPhone 8.
In the iPhone 7, the fingerprint sensor is still integrated in the Homebutton (Touch ID). For a long time it is puzzling where the sensor is placed in the iPhone 8. Up to now, it has been assumed that the biometric sensor is installed in the power button or on the rear panel. However, Apple could also completely forego a fingerprint sensor. The iPhone 8 is rumored to be Apple's first smartphone with the possibility of wireless charging. Slashleaks has published a picture of an X-ray of the alleged iPhone 8 (or iPhone 7s?). The photo shows the Ladespule, which is placed in the middle. Cover image: Slashleaks.

Q: Does a Dask scheduler effectively occupy one CPU core? What local resources are assigned to the scheduler? Suppose I have a machine with :
4 CPU (s):
2 Thread (s) per core
2 Core (s) per socket
1 CPU Socket (s)
If I set a Dask-scheduler and 4 workers doing dask-worker with --nprocs 4 from the Dask Dashboard, I can see that is assigned a core and 1/4 of the total memory I have on the machine to each worker.

I don't understand what resources of the local machine are actually assigned to the scheduler ?

Before this check, I would have said that by default to the scheduler is assigned a core but it doesn't seem true to me now.

A: The Dask scheduler is single-threaded, and so will generally occupy at most one thread.
To be clear though, it isn't allocated anything and there aren't any hard restrictions on it.  The Dask scheduler is a normal Python process.


I love Cleo Coyle's coffeeehouse series and thought I would give this one a try. I want disappointed! I highly recommend this book if you like cozy mysteries. I just purchased the second and third book of the series.
Great book and narration. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys suspenseful who done it books! It won't disappoint.
Dateline: London, Paris, Antibes. It's time to get down to nuptial nuts and bolts. But while heiress Penny's distant relatives insist that the wedding be held in their native France, Jeremy's kin won't have it anywhere but England. And either choice might just re-ignite the Hundred Year's War.
The narration was good. The book got off to a slow start but was interesting. I would listen to another by this author.
Slow start but an amazing finish!
I have to admit that I almost stopped listening to this book because of the slow start. I even went back to reread the reviews to see what made me buy the book in the first place. Many of the reviews said that the last third of the book made it all worth while and I have to agree completely. I actually hated for the book to end! It's worth the credit!
This was the first book that I bought from Irene Hannon and I was sort of disappointed. It didn't have any real mystery to it. I found it to be more of a clean Christian romance novel than a mystery. If you like a book that has lots of romance and the murderer is told to the reader up front, then you may like this kind of book. Overall, the book was just OK.
In this final installment of Ted Dekker's groundbreaking Circle Trilogy, Thomas Hunter has only days to survive two separate realms of danger, deceit, and destruction. The fate of both worlds hinges on his unique ability to shift realities through his dreams.
If you enjoyed the first 2 books in the series, you will love book 3. I found the pace of book 3 to be faster than that of book 2. I couldn't find good stopping points! This series sold me on the Fantasy genre! Good job Ted Dekker! I found this book wrapped things up nicely and I'm not sure what book Green will add to the series. I'm still trying to decide if I need to get Green book 0. People who enjoy Christian Fantasy will enjoy this series.
Red centers around the heroic rescue attempts of Thomas Hunter to save both worlds. With the devastating realization that he has unleashed death into both worlds, he now must figure out how to undo this evil all while trying to save his true love. From meeting with world powers in one world to leading a small band of mighty warriors in the great forests of the other world, Thomas is determined to change the history of two realities, or sacrifice all in trying.
I have to admit that I had high expectations for this book after finishing book 1 - Black. The book was good but it just didn't move the story forward enough for me. I really feel like the main events in book 2 could have been added to book one or three. There are events in this book that the reader needs to know so I don't recommend skipping this book. As for the narration, Rob Lamont did a good job. I find Rob Lamont does rush the dialog a bit, but it doesn't take away anything from the performance. I still give him 4 stars. I can't wait to see how Ted Dekker wraps things up in the final book of the trilogy!
Fleeing assailants through alleyways in Denver late one night, Thomas Hunter narrowly escapes to the roof of an industrial building. Then a silent bullet from the night clips his head and his world goes black. When he awakes, he finds himself in an entirely different reality, a green forest that seems more real than where he was. Every time he tries to sleep, he wakes up in the other world, and soon he truly no longer knows which reality is real.
Two Realities - One World!
I have to admit that I usually don't buy books in the fantasy genre, but I decided to give this one by Ted Dekker a try. I'm glad that I did! The book grabbed my interest from the start and held it to the end. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to keep up with which reality Thomas Hunter was in each time he woke up. That wasn't a problem at all! Ted Dekker does a great job guiding his audience through each reality so that you don't get lost or confused. Rob Lamont does a good job narrating this book. I think I just discovered a new interest in Fantasy books. Now onto book 2 in the series!
The book quickly jumped right into the mystery. Once I started listening, I found it hard to tear myself away from this book. The narration could have been better. I found the voices often sounded too similar. The author did a great job of developing the characters. I did find myself getting emotionally invested in several of the characters. Overall, I very good book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with lots of suspense.

Monitoring and evaluation making a difference in Egypt - IOE
Monitoring and evaluation making a difference in Egypt
Cairo, 29 October 2021 – The Independent Office of Evaluation (IOE) of IFAD seeks to expand its excellent collaboration with the Government of Egypt, as the Office plans to further strengthen the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) capacity of IFAD programme countries. Between 23 and 29 October 2021, Indran A. Naidoo, Director of IOE, presented these opportunities to high-level counterparts from the Arab Republic of Egypt, as he joined members of the IFAD Executive Board and senior management for a high-level visit to the country.
"The Board visit to Egypt was an excellent way to witness first-hand how IFAD works at the country level, and to see the way it engages with government and communities. We saw significant evidence to show that the various streams of intervention have been successful and continue to grow both in terms of the number of beneficiaries, and of having impact at the environmental level. It was an amazing experience", Dr Naidoo stated.
The visit allowed Board representatives to experience IFAD's work on the ground, and observe the strengths and challenges that the organization faces in carrying out its mandate. During the visit, Dr Naidoo and the members of the Board engaged with development partners and senior government officials, including H.E. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of Egypt, H.E. Rania A. Al-Mashat, Minister of International Cooperation, and H.E. EL-Said Marzouq El-Qosair, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, with whom they discussed IFAD's role in Egypt.
"A key factor for success is when you have the highest level of government support and a very good collaboration with IFAD on the ground. This was and is very much the case in Egypt. We engaged with the central ministries, we met the Prime Minister, the Minister for International Cooperation, and the Minister for Agriculture. They have all given the highest level of support to IFAD's intervention – which is financially very significant", Dr Naidoo highlighted.
Focusing on possibilities for future capacity development, Dr Naidoo outlined the possibility to explore opportunities for developing M&E capacity for rural development in Egypt, as a pilot, working with the Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI). Dr Naidoo explained that this approach would expand the work on national evaluation capacity that the Ministry of Planning, Monitoring and Administrative Reform of the Government of Egypt facilitated in the context of the National Evaluation Capacity (NEC) conference.
"From a broad evaluation point of view, it was very encouraging to note that the government now has a very strong M&E system. We very much look forward to working with the government as we plan future assessments", Dr Naidoo said.
Held in 2019, The NEC conference brought together over 500 people from 117 nations and governments, with trainings delivered by 30 international experts, including in Arabic. Amina Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General, and H.E. Hala Helmy El Saeed, Minister of Planning, Monitoring and Administrative Reform, delivered opening remarks alongside Dr Naidoo.
Other topical issues addressed by members of IFAD's Executive Board during their deliberations with Egyptian policy makers included public policies on community infrastructure, water management, microfinance, and agricultural technologies as a means of promoting rural development. These meetings were complemented by a portfolio presentation by the Cairo UN Multi Country Office team reflecting lending and non-lending activities, in addition to site visits to projects co-funded by IFAD and the Government of Egypt.
"We are proud of our strategic and highly productive partnership with Egypt that marks four decades of a successful model of cooperation aimed at reducing poverty, addressing food insecurity and contributing to the resilience and improved livelihoods of more than eight million rural people," explained Dina Saleh, IFAD's Regional Director for the Near East, North Africa, Central Asia, and Europe division.
The field visits allowed Board members to deepen their knowledge of activities on the ground, and to hold discussions with beneficiaries, farmers' organizations, cooperatives, private-sector representatives and local government authorities. Sites included a livestock and dairy processing farm in West Noubaria, and a metrological station, aquaponics greenhouses, nurseries and biogas units in the Kafr El Sheikh Motobus District. In addition, Board members spent time at the Amreya Artificial Insemination Center, established under the West Noubaria Rural Development Project (WNRDP), and currently operated by the Sustainable Agriculture Investments and Livelihoods (SAIL) project.
"The artificial insemination centre has proven to be a sustainable project. It no longer has IFAD funding, and has been taken over by the government. It is now self-funding and is working extremely well. Another project that we visited focuses on building the capacity of women in textile production. This has empowered women both in terms of receiving income and also in their ability to engage more with the economy. We also saw several successful projects in the field of agri-business, and projects where deserts are being irrigated and are now producing cash crops, such as mangoes," Dr Naidoo reported.
IOE evaluated these projects and activities in 2017, through both the Egypt Country Strategy and Programme Evaluation (CSPE), and the Project Performance Evaluation of the West Noubaria Project.
"An element that prevailed throughout the mission was the use of the last completed evaluation done by IOE. This was the basis for understanding the progress that has happened over the past few years. The recommendations that IOE made are being acted upon. It is very much a case where evaluation has worked, it has provided evidence, it's been acted on and can now be tracked in terms of progress. This really shows the impact of IFAD's interventions both as a funder and a supporter in a very large country", Dr Naidoo underscored.
IFAD currently has three ongoing projects in Egypt: Promoting Resilience in Desert Environments (PRIDE); Sustainable Agriculture Investments and Livelihoods (SAIL); and the Promotion of Rural Incomes through Market Enhancement (PRIME) project. IFAD is investing US$ 203.47 million in these rural development projects out of a total cost of US$ 284.49 million. The projects are expected to benefit over 616,000 people in rural areas.
"The contributions of our member states are crucial in pursuing our shared goals in supporting rural people, developing rural economies and effectively investing in programmes that will help countries to end poverty by 2030 as part of their commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals," Ms Saleh noted.
Egypt is IFAD's largest recipient of financial assistance in Near East and North Africa, and was one of the first countries to receive the Fund's financing. Since 1978, IFAD has supported rural poverty alleviation in Egypt through 14 developmental programmes and projects with a total value of US$ 1.1 billion, of which IFAD financed US$ 519.28 million, reaching more than 7 million people.
