Dalia (Egyptian singer)
Dalia (داليا) is an Egyptian singer born in Al Mansoura, Egypt.
After being discovered by the Egyptian TV songwriter Jamal Salameh she sang as guest on several songs on Hameed Al-Shaeri's 1994 album Hodoa Moaqat (هدوء مؤقت) as a result of which she launched a solo career. Then came singles with Ehab Tawfeeq, Hameed Al-Shaeri again, and the Kuwaiti actor and singer Ahmad Johar. She also sang in the Egyptian musical El-Qods Ha Tergaa Lena. Her first album (1998) was well received but a second album (1999) failed to mark the move to a solo career.

20th century
The 20th century was a century that began on January 1, 1901 and ended on December 31, 2000. It was the tenth and final century of the 2nd millennium. It is distinct from the century known as the 1900s (sometimes written as 19XX), which began on January 1, 1900 and ended on December 31, 1999.
Dubbed the "short twentieth century", this century in human history was dominated by chain of events that heralded significant changes in world history as to redefine the era: World War I and World War II, nationalism and decolonization, the Cold War and Post-Cold War conflicts, cultural homogenization through developments in transportation and communications technology, world population growth, awareness of environmental degradation, ecological extinction and the birth of the Digital Revolution. It saw great advances in communication and medical technology that by the late 1980s allowed for near-instantaneous worldwide computer communication and genetic modification of life.
Overview
The century had the first global-scale total wars between world powers across continents and oceans in World War I and World War II. Nationalism became a major political issue in the world in the 20th century, acknowledged in international law along with the right of nations to self-determination, official decolonization in the mid-century, and nationalist-influenced armed regional-conflicts.
19XX
19XX is a placeholder year. Alternate versions include 19??, 19xx, 19—, 19__, etc. 199X is also sometimes used. However, since the 21st century, many have found this to be outdated.
Some uses
Fiction
The use of 19xx is common in fiction to indicate that the events in the work will take place in the near future, or took place during a specific century. By doing this, the author tries to increase the sense of realism.
Fill-in-the-blank
The convention is also used on demonstration memos and other paperwork instead of a real date, or, as "19__", for later entry of the actual year. This can be seen on bank checks.
Other centuries
For literature set in the past, any century is substitutable for "19XX", such as Treasure Island's "17__" or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde's "18--". For current use "20XX" has replaced 19XX in the new millennium.
