缺點： "Economy seat was very uncomfortable even though it reclined a lot. Was very disappointed I could not sleep on 12 hour flight. Arm rests too low? Shape of backrest was odd. Maybe provide a bigger pillow in addition to neck pillow to have something to rest arms on. Also tou need more movies. Singapore Airlines has many more options. Overall airplane, crew and food were very nice"

Crew is a little too efficient- got woken up 90 minutes before landing to clear the mattresses. Lots of announcements- a bit too much. On time, and quick to respond to requests. Sake was good as was the ramen."

優點： "Perfect service, never had a more pleasant and attentive crew"
缺點： "Movies were pretty much still the same as 10 weeks ago. Not possible to sleep in the seat in premium economy right by the toilets and galley. Constant door clattering and toilet flushing. In other cabins the noise wasn't as bad, probably better insulated?"
缺點： "Flight attendants"
缺點： "Be able to select seats online within 24hours of flight for free"

優點： "Cabin crew were very nice. Food was okay, while the legroom was good too."

優點： "Service and Entertainment were great. Lots of legroom is great."
缺點： "There are no air vents per seat so on the whole I was very hot and uncomfortable during the flight. One other detail: this is not Japan Airlines fault, but at LAX we had to sit on the runway for an hour because there was some confusion about the parking space for the plane. After a nine hour flight, to sit and wait for another hour was very uncool."
優點： "Attentive staff. Great food. Great service. Vast improvement over Cathay Pacific."

優點： "So cramped. Very uncomfortable flight."
優點： "Great service."
優點： "The food"
優點： "The seats were comfortable for economy, but that's about it. Unfortunately, everything else ranged between mediocre and okay. For non stop to Japan, I'd rather fly ANA."
缺點： "The whole entire class system that they are beholden to as if we're still living in feudal Japan. Swiss & Lufthansa serves more meals and at higher quality than JAL. The drinks were also blah. JAL focuses more on their Business Class and First Class Passengers. Even their luggage comes in first."

優點： "crewe were excellent"
缺點： "nothing !"
優點： "The cabin crew was so warm and friendly, always ready with a smile and eager to help."
缺點： "Simply an older aircraft and the entertainment options were lacking compared to other carriers. The news video NHK would not fast forward or rewind but would always start over. Otherwise it was a good flight thanks"

優點： "Crew was very friendly and the service was reasonably good."
缺點： "Seats were not very comfortable."
優點： "Loved the Kabuki actors used for safety instructional video - stay for the ending credits!"
缺點： "Boarding felt like a standing cattle call. Some - not all - stews acted as though they were insulted to have to provide food and beverage service, as though they were too tired and/or impatient to deal w/ economy class."
優點： "Great customer experience is what look for in any service, ANA delivers this in abundance."
優點： "Comfortable seat & nice crew."

缺點： "Narita to Honolulu sector has not enough food for breakfast noting Honolulu airport has got nothing to offer!!!"
優點： "Crew was amazing"
缺點： "The boarding"
優點： "All crew are so kind.Great services."
缺點： "The main issue was getting off the plane in Sydney - we had to wait for a bus to offload us as the plane was sitting a long distance from the terminal. The bus eventually came, offloaded half the passengers and then returned 20 minutes later to start to offload the rest. It's the longest time I've ever spend disembarking from a plane and clearing an airport - very poor whoever was responsible (I'm assuming Sydney airport was at fault)."
優點： "Thoughtfulness, professionalism, patience and a lot of love put into the service."
優點： "Overall the flight met expectations for service, comfort and food."
缺點： "Variety of entertainment (or lack of), and the flight being continuously delayed. Even though the flight ended up departing just an hour later than initially scheduled, I would rather receive one notification for a 1-hour delay, than four notifications for 15-minute delays."
缺點： "Nice trip"
缺點： "ANA changed my selected aisle seat to middle one without explanation. It never happens when I fly with United."
優點： "ANA is always efficient and polite."
缺點： "Just drinks no snacks on this flight"
缺點： "The food wasn’t very good and the quantity of the snack meager. Worse, the crew refused to give a second roll to our 12 year old even which means that either they only have one for each passenger (and every passenger had theirs) or the crew are parsimonious."
優點： "Staff and crew were great. Very accommodating."
缺點： "I unfortunately got placed in the middle of one large person and one person who had a strong body odor. Unfortunate but it happens."
優點： "The cabin crew was always found to be welcoming and co-operative attitude. Rest Rooms (Toilets) were found to be clean whenever visited."
優點： "Food was ok for economy and they bring more coffee when you ask. The flight wasn’t so full so the seat next to me was empty and also I could sit in the exit isle to work on my laptop"
缺點： "The seat pitch is such that you can’t use a laptop in a normal seat. This would have been a big issue if there wasn’t a seat in the exit row for me to borrow. Staff fine but nothing special."
優點： "Staff were very helpful and very foamy and comfortable seat"
缺點： "No boarding zone number called in economy"
優點： "Flight attendants were incredible!"
優點： "The food and the very friendly and courteous flight attendants."

優點： "Very efficient, friendly and helpful staff"
缺點： "Food was gross."
優點： "Very efficient"
缺點： "Food was not good"
缺點： "The food was dreadful. It was like being back in the 1990s. Kids entertainment options were poor. The original toy story movie was it!"
優點： "I traveled with my wife and twin sons who turned two last month. It was our first time to fly with the boys, and we were nervous about the flight for this reason. Thanks to ANA's staff both on the ground and in the air, everything went very smoothly. When we arrived at Haneda Airport (around 1:30pm), we went to the Special Assistance counter to get a stroller. The staff was friendly and patient, and didn't rush us at all. (It took a little while to get our things in order.) I was surprised to learn that we could check in from there, drop off our checked luggage and receive boarding passes, as well as an airport stroller. In addition, the boy who was awake at the time received an ANA airplane clip. We didn't get to the gate in time for pre-boarding. I was dismayed to find out that we'd have to take a bus to the aircraft. We had the maximum number of carry-on bags, plus two babies, only one of whom was in a carrier, and we learned that the stroller couldn't go on the bus. A gate agent brought our carry-ons onto the bus. She found priority seats for us and a place nearby to fit a bag that couldn't fit on one of our laps. On board, the cabin attendants were attentive and friendly, and gave toys to the boys. When we arrived at Hagi-Iwami Airport, two of them even carried all of our carry-on bags off the plane for us. (They also helped with our carry-on luggage upon returning to Tokyo. In fact, we had forgotten to reserve a stroller for when we deplaned, and a flight attendant tried to find one near the gate, to no avail.) When I think about all the positive experiences we had in a span of about three and a half hours, I am amazed at all the different people who helped to make our journey easier. I cannot imagine it happening in my home country or on most airlines I have flown."
缺點： "Only the fact that we had to take a bus to the aircraft at Haneda, but the gate agents made it very easy for us."
優點： "Nice comfortable flight at convenient times. Great cabin crew and service."
優點： "I got a great value for money ticket from KAYAK, TQ!! ANA is an excellent airline, better service, better leg rooms and cuter crew members than than SQ!!"
缺點： "In flight meal could be improved"
優點： "The price was cheap ($100 for 2 people), and the service on ANA was great."
缺點： "Plane was a bit noisy, and it was a little confusing as to when we could board (but it was okay)"
優點： "Good service"
缺點： "baggage was broken."
優點： "Food and Sitting Space"
缺點： "Sitting space"
優點： "Food was quite good"
缺點： "the plane was Hot! So hot we couldn't use the blankets. The staff in Tokyo did not want to let me and my twin 11 yr olds board early. We need extra time to be organised and in our seats for a very long flight. If not we block the aisle. And that is without consideration for the fact that my daughter has limited sight so needs my help and it takes time. I was disappointed that they didnt come through the cabin from time to time with snacks as most airlines do on long haul flights."
優點： "The time is on time ."
優點： "The attendants are all courteous and respectful."
優點： "Shortest duration"
優點： "Seating was comfortable, staff were very attentive and obliging, offered tea, coffee water etc frequently. Blankets were also on offer. No comments to make in food or entertainment as not on offer ( as a domestic flight would not expect them)."

缺點： "Can't think of one thing."
優點： "A nice crew and service very friendly."

優點： "Service in side."
缺點： "Air host listen on time"
缺點： "flight left without 1/6 of the passengers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
缺點： "connecting flight left without 1/6th of its passengers. Stuck at airport now because of Deltas laziness"
優點： "Leg room"
缺點： "Not sitting in an airplane without AC for 30 minutes after everyone loaded"
優點： "Leg room in comfort +"
缺點： "Removal of food trays could be done sooner"
優點： "The food and drinks were so lovely, it felt like I was in first class rather than the cheapest economy seat. Great entertainment selection and comfortable seat that let me sleep well."
優點： "Crew was excellent, seats are never excellent"
缺點： "Temperature control. Information about the delay"
優點： "Crew was great, very generous with snacks and beverages, and prior to boarding we were able to switch flights and seats without problem. All the Delta agents were extremely helpful, and had great customer service!"
缺點： "Far in advance I requested a seat with extra leg room for a back condition that is supported by a physicians note. The seat did not appear to me to have extra leg room. I was very uncomfortable."
優點： "It suited the time i could travel"
缺點： "I felt although they said the two attendants were great they were at best mediocre especially the man"
優點： "Very fast and efficient boarding process. We began moving right when they closed the door. Smooth flight, friendly attendants."
缺點： "Stop charging $2 for headphones lol"
缺點： "Great flight"
缺點： "It was so cold! People all over were asking for blankets and commenting on the coldness"
缺點： "I wanted an aisle seat."
優點： "Everything! I appreciate that the ticketing agent helped me get an earlier flight and I appreciated the gate agent making sure I had a good seat! I love Delta!"
缺點： "Nothing honestly"
缺點： "Best option across the pond"
優點： "New plane with good features. I was very comfortable."
優點： "Good choice of movies but not all have subtitles, which comes in handy since phones are not really good. Food was great!"
缺點： "Seating pitch is just not acceptable for 10+ hrs long flight! I am tall (1.92 cm) but there are taller people than me and there is just no way they can sit in economy class seat! That is basically some kind of racism.."
優點： "It was horrible. Delta really should have cancelled and refunded the flight altogether."
優點： "Was upgraded to Comfort Plus after they had no seat for me on the plane"
缺點： "We booked with Virgin however flew with Delta and we were not alerted to this. We booked with Virgin for a reason. They also did not have seats for me when I went to check in on both flights and I had to negotiate seats before boarding. Very disappointing."
缺點： "Compared to Virhin Australia crew, Delta staff seem almost poorly trained in comparison. For example, Drlta crew don’t check your pass, don’t immediately move down the aisle to move along tourists busy discussing their seats and then line up for Boarding seems chaotic at best."
優點： "The seats are probably the most comfy of all the flights I’ve taken. All the crew was super nice."
缺點： "On my delta app it said we’d have the TVs again but we didn’t have any this time."
優點： "The crew asked a passenger to move so we could all sit together. It was awesome. :)"
缺點： "No issues at all"
優點： "The crew were fantastic. Departed on time, arrived 40 minutes early."
缺點： "Delta One is a bit jaded on this flight."
優點： "The crew were good."
缺點： "The flight was delayed taking off. The crew tried to make it up but it was 90 minutes late in the end - I almost missed a connection. Seats were ok."
優點： "Boarding was swift and cabin crew where attentive. Baggage drop was swift and luggage arrived quickly. Global entry at ATL was swift."
缺點： "delta security in the UK is an absolute farce. The security screening at LHR was long and understaffed"
優點： "Very friendly cabin crew. Comfortable and food was good and drinks and water was plentiful. I would highly recommend Delta for transatlantic flights,compared to so called 4* airline Aer Lingus, then Delta are a 6* in comparison"
優點： "Friendly, efficient crew"
缺點： "Uncomfortable seat in 1st class. Poor quality video screen, too small, too far away, poor sound."
優點： "Delta is my favorite airline. Smaller planes with two seats two a row."
缺點： "I was told to check my luggage even though there was still overhead bin space."
缺點： "Every thing was excellent"
優點： "On time, good flight"
缺點： "No power on outlets at waiting room airport, charge 2 dollars for earplugs"
缺點： "Delta always has 1 or maybe 2 people checking everyone in, including the baggage drop. So, EVERYONE has to wait for one person to finish checking in the first class passenger with a thousand needs. Very poor service as is their norm."
優點： "Boarding was super quick, as crew wanted to leave before the strong rains and winds came through, so we left early! Plane itself was very modern and surprisingly comfortable, as much as a small space can be. Good amount of entertainment, and the crew were pleasant. And flight itself was smooth with very little turbulence which helps!"
缺點： "Had to pay for food, which was a little annoying considering the cost of the flight. Entertainment was very American led... but I guess not surprising considering it’s delta."
優點： "- great customer service - friendly staff - Positive energy"
缺點： "- No room in the seats - No food served on plane - Crowded -"
缺點： "flights all on Delta - about one a week for 3 months straight - and yet when Delta cancelled my flight and re-booked they did not give me any upgrade or loyalty as I saw it - I had paid extra for Delta Comfort and they told me the flight they re-booked me on simply did not have any comfort available. However, I was not the one canceling the flight and re-booking - that is their problem and after so much loyalty for years I feel like I should have gotten some kind of upgrade for free...If I have to cancel - I have to pay fees - but if they cancel - I lose ...despite being a very loyal SkyMiles customer. I am quite disillusioned with Delta now and will have to look around to see what other airlines there are now - and my entire family - and what kind of loyalty they give to their loyal customers. It needs to be a two-way"
優點： "Staff was attentive and pleasant. Seat was comfortable, good knee room. Left and arrived on-time. Good experience."
缺點： "Reclining seats need to either go away, or be built so that reclining takes leg room away from the person reclining. Why should I be punished for a rude passenger in front of me who decides to punish me by reclining their seat?"
優點： "Waiting in the departure lounce was ok"
缺點： "Boarding was kind of stupid Delta is boarding in Zones and starts at the front instead of starting boarding passangers sitting at the back of the plane and moving forward NO they do it the wrong way and due to that boarding takes to long and makes you frustrated."
優點： "Staff’s attention and patience with customers was great. They knew many were frustrated with the delay but they met our needs with a smile"
缺點： "Weather delay was a real bummer but I liked the app wanted to help reconnect people with other flights. The app should also tell us the reason for the delay, if allowable, especially if it weather. I almost hoed on another flight through Minneapolis but would have been stuck in Minneapolis cause I didn’t know the delay was due to weather an hour later."
缺點： "My daughter was booked on this itinerary and was finishing her last leg of journey. Complete ticket was booked thru Delta Airlines. Her flight from Amsterdam to New York today operated by KLM, was delayed by few minutes. And Delta flight from JFK to Cleveland DL4084 was preponed by airlines. Result was my daughter was not allowed to board the aircraft. Worst was yet to come. Your staff at the gate offered her a flight to Cleveland for next day at 3:30 pm??? Means around 24 hours later. Is this how you behave with a girl of 19 years, asking her to stay at the airport. She was refused Hotel and Lounge stay by your team!!! Is this what you call customer services??? Obscene services is what I would like to term it as!!! My daughter asked them to give this is writing, which was refused to her. Why are your people scared to put it in writing if everything that you are doing is right by the Law??? I was left with no other option but to book her on American Airlines flight today departing at 9 pm to ensure that little girl doesn’t have to spend close to 24 hours at airport by paying $423. Who is going to bear the loss of money and mental torture that your team has given to me and my daughter???? I shall be awaiting your response as to what do you have to say to this pathetic attitude of your team. Rajesh Mendiratta Sent from my iPhone Rajesh"
優點： "Everything was perfect and most of all ON TIME Thank you Delta!"
優點： "good flight and pleasant staff"
缺點： "no vegetarian option in business class therefore nothing to eat for me for whole flight. also sky lounge very poor"
優點： "comfortable seats enough overhead bin space."
優點： "Got me to my destination, just not comfortably"
缺點： "Seating is ridiculously cramped and overhead storage is small"
優點： "This was our first time flying Delta and it was a very pleasurable experience. Boarding was very straight forward and the seats allocated comfortable. A surprise for us was being asked if we would like to move seats from the back of the aircraft to Comfort Economy (we think it was to do with weight balance! but appreciated very much none the less). The flight attendants were very professional and helpful, as you would hope all attendants on all airlines would be. We'd gladly fly Delta again anytime."
優點： "Flight ifself was okay once on the plane"
缺點： "5 hours delayed for no apparent reason. Understaffed in SJC to handle this."
優點： "Overall experience was awesome. Always love to fly delta. Nice spacious and clean aircraft. Enjoyed the entertainment system."
缺點： "Smallest plane ever. Absolutely no leg room or overhead space."
優點： "The flight back to Columbus made up for the flight from CLT to SJC."
缺點： "This was a multi city, round trip starting out of CLT. My connection was way too close, and we missed the connection due to a mechanical problem. The lines to get vouchers were super long, and the hotel was not the best. It was way after midnight when I got to the hotel, and I did not feel safe staying at a Quality Inn. I had to walk to my room outside, and had leave in the morning in the dark as well. I was traveling alone. Please put your passengers in a better hotel, closer to the airport. I did not expect that from American Airlines."
優點： "Flight attends are very friendly."
優點： "Great flight"
優點： "That the flight attendant was really helpful"
缺點： "If the flight would have been on time"
優點： "The pasta meal was quite good"
缺點： "Some more space. Individual entertainment. Air quality"
優點： "Seating had more space, the crew very relaxed and good humour as well as professionalism."
缺點： "Well the flight was short, so not much more could be done on this particular flight. The restroom could be a tad larger but think was on an older aircraft."
缺點： "Running out of bin space by Group 3 is just wrong."
優點： "It didn’t happen"

優點： "delivered as expected"
缺點： "drink cart earlier and more often"
優點： "The connecting BA flight from Houston to LHR was an old 747 and my broken window blind didn’t go down. The worst part was I paid for a bulkhead seat and once we got on the plane it turned out the configuration was different and the seat was not bulkhead."
缺點： "Accurate configuration. A more modern plane."
優點： "This was a quick flight - 39 mins I also got an upgrade too"
缺點： "Missed the flight due to poor staff and a delayed landing from my crossover. Given how childish the ground staff were being, I can only assume the flight staff wouldn't be much better."
優點： "The seat was cormfortable and the entertainment was dope!"
缺點： "Communication. The pilot did not say when he was landing and considering it was a rough landing it would have been helpful to say. He said we shall be landing like 40minutes before Then quiet"
優點： "Good entertainment, seats were ok."
缺點： "I paid for a seat with extra leg room and then was told at the gate that there were none of those seats left, despite the fact that I booked and paid for that seat 3 weeks ago!"
缺點： "Multiple delayed flights leading to short connection time. Despite meeting stated time, denied entry and surprises that my ticket was changed with no effort to correct said error at the gate despite adequate time prior to take off."
優點： "Good seat"
缺點： "Headset didn't work and no replacement"
優點： "Checking in with my Mum who needs assistance was excellent."
缺點： "Lack of Entertainment."
優點： "Comfortable flight and was able to get a couple hours of sleep in."
缺點： "The service from the check in desk to the stewardess"
優點： "Take offs were a few minutes late but we arrived on time at each destination due to savvy pilots and great tailwinds. Staff was in a good mood and so were the passengers, no Scrooge’s!"
缺點： "The only BBQ in Dallas Airport Terminal C is a chain spot....boooo!"
優點： "Friendly crews"
缺點： "Baggage claim took over an hour. Wasted so much time."
缺點： "Another delay on second segment of cross country flight — this time for maintenance issues that were never fully explained. took off an hour late from DFW."
優點： "The flagship first seats in American Airlines are among the best in class given that I only flew from Miami to JFK. Fully flat beds and ample room."
缺點： "Very limited food options."
優點： "The legroom."
缺點： "There was nothing not to like."
優點： "Good service."
缺點： "No power outlets."
優點： "Great flight overall"
缺點： "We were told that we get one checked bag free, but at check-in were told we had to pay. So much for low prices!"
優點： "I liked the room."
缺點： "There was no entertainment. Could not get seats together."
優點： "The flight itself was fine."
缺點： "All the choices to eat were laden with gluten, salt, and sugar. Surely a salad is no heavier than what they carry, but might not last as long. For those of us gluten-sensitive, watching our glucose levels, or salt intake there’s nothing. A 40 minute gate change from B29 to A11 in PHX was barely long enough to walk far less find and buy a healthy meal. Yet again I arose at 4am and had nothing to eat until after 4pm. ALL the airlines can do better."
缺點： "One of the stewardess felt like she was at her house with unwanted visitors, I guess. Very senile and careless attitude"
優點： "Awfully rude flight attendants Took multiple buses I guess American doesn’t pay good money to the airports"
優點： "Outbound, it was on time, plenty of legroom, plenty of good snacks, drinks and food. An enjoyable flight. Score 10.0"
缺點： "Return flight - The flight departed 4 hours late. The seating was so cramped my husband couldn't move his legs at all, never mind try to sleep. The staff members were not smart in appearance, some with long untidy hair, and did not interact with passengers except to hand out food. The food was reasonable. We disembarked feeling like wrecks. Score 2.0"
優點： "The plane was late but from that point everything was fine."
缺點： "Our last 6 flights have all been changed or delayed significantly. Then they loose our bags on a direct flight. Won’t fly America airlines again!"
缺點： "There should be more number of check in bags for passengers. At the least the overhead bins should be allowed to the passengers."
優點： "Flight was routine except that I was astonished and pleased that the movie was “Love Simon”. Thank you American for maybe helping to change some attitudes in the center of the country."
缺點： "The food is still laden with gluten. The only gluten-free option was peanuts."
缺點： "Flight was delayed six hours. Flight crew arrived late further delaying trip. Connecting flight missed. Promised hotel reservation by American were non-existent when arriving in Dallas. Had to try to sleep in airport. Will never willingly fly American again"
缺點： "5 delays with the flight. Had to Switch to a flight leaving from SFO and pay $60 for an Uber to get to SFO"
優點： "Veggie Asian meal was great - curry."
缺點： "Freezing cold air conditioning. Seven hours siting in a fridge. Asked stewardess to turn it up. She didn't."
優點： "Great films and tasty food"

Local authorities, Police and NHS are counting the cost of alcohol harm
Shocking new research out last week (Friday 18 May) shows the negative impacts of alcohol – such as crime, antisocial behaviour and illness – is costing more than £55.65m per year in the Lancaster District.
In total this adds up to £3 billion across the North West per year.
Coun Karen Leytham, Lancaster City Council Cabinet member with responsibility for health, said: “As we drink more as a society, so the problems associated with alcohol rise. This is putting an unsustainable burden on our public services, as well as the economy.
”The report shows that alcohol related harm costs the NHS, Police, Local Authority and the economy a shocking amount – the equivalent of £394 per person for the local area.
“This is money that could be better spent, and of course it is not just the pounds that add up, the misery caused by excessive drinking is a great social cost too.”
Jacqui Thompson, Assistant Director of Public health at NHS North Lancashire said: “It is really important that we continue to work across organisations and with our communities to address the harms caused by alcohol misuse in Lancaster District”.
Chief Superintendent Richard Bayly, borough commander, said: “Excessive alcohol intake is often a contributing factor to crimes such as criminal damage, public disorder and violent attacks, in particular domestic abuse. At the same time, being drunk can lead people to be more susceptible to becoming a victim of crime as they are in a heightened vulnerable state.
"We are committed to tackling alcohol-related crime, not just because it will reduce policing costs but also because it will make Lancaster, Morecambe and the surrounding areas safer places to live in and visit.”
The research was launched at a national conference on alcohol last week by Drink Wise North West, which campaigns to reduce alcohol related harm in the region. Leaders attending the conference are expected to unite and call on David Cameron to take urgent action to curb the impact of cheap alcohol.
Hazel Parsons, Director of Drink Wise North West said: “Many of the problems caused by alcohol arise because it is so cheap. You can buy a pack of beer in a supermarket for less than the price of a bottle of water.
“That’s why it is so important that the Government introduces a minimum unit price of 50p. Research shows that this is the best way of saving lives, cutting crime and saving the public sector millions.”

Day 1 CAIRO - LUXOR - EMBARKATION
After checking out of the hotel, take a morning flight south to Luxor—formerly known as Thebes, the capital city of the New Kingdom of Upper Egypt. Luxor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to two astonishing temples—Karnak and Luxor. Luxor is also your gateway to many of Egypt’s vast treasures that you’ll discover throughout your Nile River Valley cruise, so it is here that you’ll be welcomed aboard the AmaDahlia. During the late afternoon, you will visit the Temple of Luxor, constructed over hundreds of years by Amenhotep III, Ramses II, Tutankhamun and other pharaohs. After your visit, continue to experience Egyptian magic with a traditional folkloric-style belly dance on board the AmaDahlia. (B, L, D)
Day 2 LUXOR - EDFU
Visit the tombs of ancient Egypt in the Valley of the Kings— one of the most famous archeological sites in the world. The spectacular rock-cut tombs located on the west bank of Luxor include that of the enigmatic King Tutankhamun, whose mummified remains are still here on display. Afterwards, go to Deir el-Bahri to see the Temple of Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most successful pharaohs and its first female ruler. Next, you’ll visit the Valley of Queens, home to the mummified remains of more than 30 queens and princesses, including Nefertari’s Tomb, where you’ll enjoy exclusive access. Your day’s adventure concludes with an up-close view of the Colossi of Memnon—two gigantic statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Once back on board the AmaDahlia, cap the day off with a Captain’s Welcome Cocktail. (B, L, D)
Day 3 EDFU - ASWAN
The city of Edfu is best known for one of Egypt’s most remarkably preserved temples, dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. Built in 230 BC, it is the second-largest temple in Egypt and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with walls that display compelling details about the religion and language of the country’s Greco-Roman period. After visiting Edfu, relax on board and take in the Nile River’s timeless landscapes as the ship continues onward to Aswan, and then in the evening, celebrate your inner Egyptian at an onboard Galabeya party. Don traditional Egyptian attire, meet new friends, toast to adventures past and future, dance and bask in the glory of the Egyptian night. (B, L, D)
Day 4 ASWAN
Enjoy free time in Aswan or go on an optional excursion to Abu Simbel. If you choose the optional excursion, you’ll take an early morning flight to Lake Nasser to the more than 3,000-year-old Abu Simbel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dedicated to Ramses II, one of the most active of pharaohs, along with the smaller temple dedicated to his chief wife Queen Nefertari. The front of the main temple has four gargantuan statues of Ramses II on his throne, each measuring nearly 70 feet high and discovered half buried in sand in 1813. During the afternoon, take a peaceful ride in a felucca, a traditional Egyptian sailboat, to the colorful Nubian Village of Hessa. Meet the warm and friendly Nubian people who will welcome you to their village. Enjoy lunch here before going back to the ship. Tonight, there is an optional outing to a sound and light show at Philae Temple. (B, L, D)
Day 5 ASWAN - ESNA
Visit the Aswan High Dam and then the Unfinished Obelisk, commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut. Next, explore the UNESCO-designated Philae Temple complex, with one of the most stunningly restored and preserved hieroglyphs in Egypt, built between 380 BC and 362 BC and dedicated to the goddess Isis, the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus. After your visit here, cruise to the Great Temple of Kom Ombo, where its soaring columns dramatically rise above the Nile River. Unique in Egypt, this temple is dedicated to two gods—the crocodile god, Sobek, sitting on the right; and the falcon-headed Haroeris, “The Good Doctor.” Once back on board the AmaDahlia, enjoy an afternoon of scenic sailing to Esna, where you’ll spend the night before sailing back to Luxor.

Watch Silent Night Free
Nell, Simon, and their son Art are ready to welcome friends and family for what promises to be a perfect Christmas gathering. Perfect except for one thing: everyone is going to die.
Silent Night (2021) on 123freemovies
I watched Silent Night with a true pleasure. I've seen a few thousands of movies in my life, so I have experience. It's really hard to distinguish the good from the best. Best of all, you need to find out what makes this important. Everyone pretty much knows that it is one of the greatest films ever made. You do not have to fall in love with a Comedy to enjoy this movie. Camille Griffin is great. With Silent Night online he seems to be setting himself some kind of a test - how far over the top can he go?.... Show more

Trey Songz has provided his fans with a new song called “Smart Phones,” which he released via The Angel Network.
The R&B crooner attempts to win back his girlfriend after he accidentally calls her and she hears him cheating with another woman. “I don’t know what I’m gonna say, but I know that I’m gonna say whatever it takes,” he coos on the mid-tempo cut.
The song follows his DJ Mustard-produced banger “Na Na,” which will appear on his sixth album Trigga, arriving this summer.

Hollywood had better keep their grubby, remaking mitts off of them!
While the trend to “re-imagine” or “re-envision” everything around them
has been going on for some time, these films have so far managed to
escape the fate of some of their less fortunate compatriots. I speak of
The 25 Movies They’d Better Never Remake.
THEY LIVE (1988)
WRITTEN BY: John Carpenter (as Frank Armitage)
STARRING: Roddy Piper, Keith David, Meg Foster, George “Buck” Flower, Peter Jason
They Live marks the end of the golden age of Carpenter, and also marks itself as his last film made in the 1980’s. It’s also targeted for a remake that’s been floating around for a while. Uh oh.
Roddy Piper stars as a Nada, a homeless man who works construction to get by, but finds a mysterious box of sunglasses at a recently abandoned and ransacked church. When he puts the glasses on, he sees the world as it really is: aliens have come to earth and now are our oppressors, who live among us and send out coded messages of obedience and consumerism. From there he teams up with Frank (Keith David) after an extended fight, and gets his friend to see the truth. Nada ends up with Holly Thompson (Meg Foster) and you don’t have to look at her creepy eyes to know that though she might be human, she’s definitely untrustworthy. The boys are told the only way to stop the aliens is to disrupt the source of the (mass hypnosis/projection/etc.), which leads to one of the great rim-shot endings in cinema history.
For John Carpenter, a pot smoking liberal (with some libertarian instincts), the Reagan 80’s was an offense, and so he wrote what amounts to a feature-length Twilight Zone episode meant to show how he felt about what was going on with the changes to the class system, and the – what he saw as – bullshit being sold to America. On one level, it is very much a snapshot of the period, and also a kick out the door. But like a lot of just vague enough paranoid tales, They Live can feel as topical now as when it did marginal business in 1988. But They Live has never left the public’s subconscious, partly because of the work of Shephard Fairey, who after having to forgo his “Andre the Giant has a Posse” sticker campaign modified to it to use one of the clearest images from the film: the “Obey” line (tagged with Andre the Giant looking all big brother, which he was). Though Fairey is now inarguably a part of the establishment, Obey still has traction, even if its message is lost (but then that adds another layer of commentary as what is being denoted comes to pass).
- ” I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass… and I’m all out of bubblegum. “
- ” Put the glasses on! Put ‘em on!.”
- ” The feeling is definitely there. It’s a new morning in America… fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We’re optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don’t need pessimism. There are no limits. “
- “They are dismantling the sleeping middle class. More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.”
- “THIS IS YOUR GOD”
But even more so than that, we live in such partisan times – such hyper-partisan times – that what amounts to a proletariat critique of the ruling class cannot exist in the mainstream without drawing attention to itself, and unless this is a DTV film this will play theaters and be released by a major studio. And all major studios have their hands in other pots. If – say – Fox picked it up, they have their own news station, just as Universal is part of the NBC family, and Disney ABC. Time/Warner. Paramount/Viacom. If They Live has a central conceit, it is that old (mis)quote of F. Scott’s Fitzgerald that “The rich are different than you and me” made literal. The problem with a remake is that it would have to address Fox News and MSNBC, even if only to dismiss them, but by picking actual targets it would automatically lose the point. Though the argument might be that both are working for the same puppet master, and their rivalry or differences are essentially similar shit with different locations, even a situation where both sides get shit on kinda misses the point, but would become a focus for the media. When Carpenter made They Live, he was able to sneak it out as a monster movie, and though the film wasn’t successful, it didn’t become a talking point, or perhaps was seen as a send off for the Reagan era. But also it was able to say all the media was corrupt.
On some level both Fox News and MSNBC and their viewers would agree that television sends out coded messages for the faithful, and that “the other side” is lying to incite up the masses/their base, what they wouldn’t agree on is that they both do it. There’s really no way to make this film without political journalists making a point of seeing it/talking about it/ missing the point. Would Bill O’Reilly condemn the film or make a cameo, would Keith Olbermann joke about how he appeared (or didn’t appear) in it, or issue a special report about how the filmmakers are using a sledgehammer where a scalpel should be used? The problem is that they wouldn’t take their lumps quietly, and whatever purpose the film would have – even if it watered down the content of the original to 10% of the subversion. The hot potato nature of the film would mean that there would be no smuggling, and journalists would be quick to suggest that they “get it.” It reminds me of an old joke:
Q: How do you distract a journalist?
A: Get them to talk about themselves.
WHAT WOULD PLATINUM DUNES DO (WWPDD)?
Dunes company as a front. So naturally he’d be the logical choice to
spearhead any attempt at remaking this classic. How would it pan out,
- Synchronicity, thy name is spelled Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
- Shephard Fairey would be a consultant. Noticeable placement of either the Obey stickers, or Andre the Giant has a posse.
- Obama and George W. Bush would be revealed to aliens (there would be some weird race politics in this version, as there would have to be).
- OMG, Justin Bieber is an Alien!
REBUTTAL: No way.

The Bajaj Pulsar 220 has been updated with a new instrument cluster. The overall design of the instrumentation remains the same and it uses the same LCD tech. However, it now displays more information compared to the older console.
The Pulsar 220 has been around for a long time now. It first debuted way back in 2007 and it became an instant success in the Indian market. The youth of India loved the motorcycle and the performance it offered was brilliant at the time. It came with an orange-backlit analogue-digital instrument cluster.
The Tachometer was analogue while the speedometer, odometer, trip meters, etc were displayed on the LCD screen. It even came with tell-tale lights for the high beam, turn signal indicators, etc. It has been nearly 14 years since then and Bajaj still follows the very same formula for the Pulsar 220 until now.
The motorcycle still features the same design language and the instrument cluster too is just the same, except that it is now blue-backlit. Now, a video by MRD Vlogs on YouTube details the new changes that have been brought to the new updated Pulsar 220. The video reveals that the instrument cluster of the new 2021 Pulsar 220 comes with more information packed into the same console.
It now displays the real-time fuel efficiency, range, service reminder, and a battery-low indicator. The odometer and two trip meters have been moved to the right side of the screen. As aforementioned, the rest of the motorcycle remains the same.
The 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 220 is powered by the same oil-cooled, 220cc, single-cylinder engine with a maximum power output of 20bhp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque output of 18.55Nm at 7,000rpm. A 5-speed gearbox drives the rear wheel.
Suspension duties are handled by a telescopic fork up front and twin gas-charged shocks at the rear. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 was the first motorcycle from Bajaj to get disc brakes at the front and rear, and the same setup is in use even today. It now gets a single-channel ABS too.

On the eve in the French city of Biarritz ended the summit of G7 countries, which feared it could be a historic comeback of Russia. However, despite the statement of the President of the United States Donald trump, left Moscow out of the exclusive club, albeit with a hint that soon the Russian President Vladimir Putin can call on gatherings of world leaders.
“Apostrophe” tells about the results of the summit and about how the leaders of the “big seven” was an argument for Russia.
Who is who
The chief lobbyist for the return of Russia in the G7 made trump. Western media reported that he even entered into a kind of argument with the leaders of other countries, insisting that Russia needs to get. However, the idea of trump accepted without enthusiasm. Supported the head of the White house only the Prime Minister of Italy, Giuseppe Conte. In turn, Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe said that his country remains neutral on the question of the return of Russia.
The Prime Minister of Britain, Boris Johnson, Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, the President of France Emmanuel Makron and the head of the European Council Donald Tusk refused to support this idea. Interestingly, less than a week ago macron during a meeting with Putin was not to do not against the return of Russia, but rather.
… and your enemies closer. That said trump
At the summit, Donald trump was clearly disappointed with the decision of the G7. It is interesting that people actively building a wall to separate US from all others, expressed the opinion that “Russia inside the room is better than Russia on the outside.” Understand what you want. Maybe this is a new version of the good old saying: keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Who knows.
Trump believes that the return of Russia could help solve many issues. Answering the journalists ‘ question about how could Moscow itself to ask about the return, trump expressed the view that Putin himself to ask will not be, as he was “very proud guy”.
While trump said that he intends to invite Putin to the next summit of G7, which is scheduled for 2020 in the United States. However, the head of the Kremlin will come to the summit as a guest, not a participant.
What others have said
Macron turned out to be surprisingly inconsistent, stating that the return to the decision of the Ukrainian question will be perceived as a weakness of Western countries. He also said that with Merkel preparing to hold talks on Donbas in the Normandy format. The meeting with the participation of Putin and President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky can be held in the coming weeks – at the beginning of September.
Macron added that consensus on Russia, but trump, as host of the summit, has the right to invite Putin. Note that similarly did the Makron, inviting to the summit the delegation of Iran even without notifying their partners.
Trudeau also spoke strongly against the return of Russia.
“We made it clear that Canada does not support the return of Russia in the G7”, – he stressed.
The Prime Minister of Canada added that Russia still needs to change his behavior, which was excluded from the G8 in 2014. Trudeau said that Canada remains a staunch defender of the sovereignty of Ukraine.
Merkel also said that the situation in Ukraine, the main obstacle to the return of Russia.
“I on behalf of Germany made it clear that we need progress in the implementation of the Minsk process,” said the Chancellor.
Johnson before the summit clearly expressed the position of great Britain.
“Given what happened in Salisbury in Wiltshire, use of chemical weapons on British soil, continued instability, war in Ukraine… I’m very close with Chancellor Merkel in thoughts that it is yet to be resolved, to Russia returned in the G7,” said Johnson.
Interestingly, against the idea of trump’s made in the USA. Thus, the ex-Deputy Minister of defense Michael carpenter reminded the head of the White house about Ukraine, which is the main victim of aggression of the Kremlin. He invited Trump to advise Putin “to stay at home while his troops are out of Ukraine.”
“How about inviting Ukraine for the next G7 summit?” – he wrote.
In Russia also believe that to return to the “big seven” at the invitation of one country will be wrong.
“Russia’s membership in the G7 or a return to the G7 is not an end in itself,” the speaker said Putin, Dmitry Peskov.
What ultimately adopted at the G7 summit
In fact, the summit “the big seven” ended in nothing. Almost for the first time at the summit was not signed on any document. There is only the statement on one page, written by the President of France.
In addition to the forthcoming negotiations on Ukraine, the document mentions Iran, Libya and Hong Kong, as well as the situation with the WTO.
In particular, the G7 called for reform of the WTO to increase the protection of intellectual property and the rapid overcoming of unfair trade practices.
G7 leaders believe that Iran should not obtain nuclear weapons, and they must maintain regional stability.
In Libya, the G7 called for a durable ceasefire and peace talks.
The protests in Hong Kong, the G7 reaffirmed the existence and importance of the Sino-British joint Declaration of 1984 on Hong Kong and called to avoid violence.
It also became known that the countries “big seven” refused to take a decision on the allocation of funds to fight fires in the Amazon.
What about the invitation of Russian thinking in the Ukraine
“The return of the occupied Crimea, the cessation of hostilities in the Donbass and the liberation of more than 100 political prisoners and Ukrainian sailors, which holds the Kremlin, will be a real strong signal to the world that Russia is ready again to take its place on the agenda of high diplomacy,” wrote Zelensky.
“This whole “invitation” reminded me of the well-known band in the early 80s “I know you know I know”. The President of the United States knew making the statement, that decision will not be made. After all, in this club, decisions are made unanimously. In turn, Putin also knew that Russia’s return to the Club is not going to happen under any circumstances”, – wrote in Facebook Deputy Minister for the occupied territories Georgy Tuka.

Good news, Co-Viewing fans! Last December, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center released it’s latest report, “The New Coviewing: Designing for Learning through Joint Media Engagement.” (To this Covert Co-Viewer, it felt like a holiday gift made just for me!) Chock full ‘o research, this one is worth downloading for yourself (here) and digesting in your own time.
On January 23rd, I had the pleasure of attending a panel presentation about the report hosted by Women in Children’s Media. While many aspects of the report were covered (you can actually watch the whole presentation here), my favorite part covered the case study of Electric Company’s interactive game, called Electric Racer. Simply put, Electric Racer is a two-person on-line literacy game, intended for children ages 6-9 and a grown-up to play together. Developed by the brainiacs at Sesame Workshop, it’s free and it’s focus on literacy should appeal to any parent hoping to connect with their child in that age group.
A nifty marketing video shows it best:
Researchers pilot-tested the game with parents and kids, and that process helped them tweak the product quite a bit. In this research, they learned that they needed better role clarification for both parent and child. In this case, the child is the “driver” of the vehicle, collecting certain words, while the adult must unscramble certain words to help the driver. (Roles can be reversed, of course, but this is how the game-play was intended.) Researchers also instituted a point system that allowed for more teamwork, but also showed how each player was performing. Finally, in-game instructional supports were added to remind players of their goal.
If you know of a 6-to-9 year old you’d like to try this game with, you can download it for free here!

About this detail of the Tiger
There were variants of the HL230 engine: the P45 for the Tiger E and the P30 which was used in the Panther. Apparently the newer engine was designed to work well in the Panther and later vehicles, while the Tiger E remained unable to benefit from the improvements. One example of this is the air filters on top of the engine.
Cyclone filters to remove dust had been added to the Tiger E in the form of external 'Feifel' filters. Now they were added to the engine itself. Square boxes carried these filters, enclosing both of the cylindrical oil-bath filters, as shown in this photo of a HL 230 P30. The cyclone filters are indicated by arrows.
These new filters did not work with the Tiger E because it had no convenient way to remove the dust. Therefore I believe these cyclone filters were never used in the Tiger E, even when its own Feifel units were discontinued. It retained the HL 230 P45 which had the cylindrical oil-bath filters only.
This photo shows the preserved Tiger E at Saumur museum  . For some reason it has a HL 230 P30 engine installed. However the filters on top are the oil-bath filters of a HL 230 P45. Here, we can see the rear dust outlet on the right-hand side. It is not connected to anything.

With the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, women’s roles have been restricted; they were inspired to raise large families and tend to household duties. Khomeini’s belief led to the closing of ladies’s centres, childcare centers and the abolition of family planning initiatives. Women had been restricted to certain fields of labor, such as midwifery and teaching. In the same year, he was declared the Shah of Iran, which marked the start of the Pahlavi dynasty era. Iran’s societal construction and the status of women started to enhance after the Shah visited Turkey in 1936.
Why I Purchased A Iranian Women For My Elderly Mother
These developments encouraged Algerian Islamists who kidnapped and sexually enslaved women all through the Eighties. They harassed unveiled women, and ladies working and learning outside the home. In Afghanistan, starting in 1994, the Taliban, once thought of U.S. allies and championed as freedom fighters by western media, took the oppression of girls to new levels. This March eight, as we bear in mind the struggles which have introduced us nearer in direction of gender equality, we also should contemplate the social and authorized inequalities ladies proceed to face worldwide. While ladies’s quests for gender equality, dignity and justice are arguably common, strategies and solutions range extensively under a vast vary of social, cultural and political circumstances and constraints.
- According to Iran’s 2007 census, 10% of women have been actively contributing to the financial system and that over 60% of men had been economically active.
- Compared with men, women have one-third of the chances of gaining managerial positions.
- In 2019 three women arrested for “disrespecting obligatory hijab” have been sentenced to a complete of fifty five years and six months by a “Revolutionary Court” in Iran.
- The types of professions obtainable to ladies are restricted and benefits are often denied.
- According to a 2017 Human Rights Watch report, this inequality is brought on by home legal guidelines discriminating towards women’s entry to employment.
- The Islamic Republic in Iran has strict laws about ladies’s clothing and dancing with males in public .
According to the report of the Kurdistan human rights network, on November 28, 2018, guards in Khoy women jail within the northwest of Iran attacked inmate Zeynab Jalalian and confiscated her belongings. As of 2006, ladies’s labor-pressure participation charges was at 12.6% in rural areas with a national fee of 12.5% whereas the rate for men is 66.1%.
Not recognizing this multiplicity has undermined feminist solidarity and has prevented a range of strategic solutions. The number of women making flags out of their headscarves in public areas is growing. Thousands of Iranian girls took to the streets to protest towards the hijab legislation in Tehran in the spring of 1979. October 14, 2019 – The Center for Human Rights in Iran is honored to announce an upcoming exhibition of 13 modern Iranian women artists in New York City, curated by the internationally acclaimed artist Shirin Neshat. Last month, a woman named Sahar Khodayari self-immolated in protest after she was arrested making an attempt to enter a match in Tehran. On social media she was referred to as #bluegirl, a nod to the colours of Esteghlal FC, the native team she supported, stories the New York Times. Photos from the day present a jubilant crowd, albeit with a feminine police force surrounding the segregated ladies.
Advocates of this view say whatever the Iranian women’s motion achieves inside Iranian society, the standing of particular person women inside this society will always be less than the achievements of western feminists. Others suggest parochial movements of girls will never achieve success and that until a worldwide sisterhood from all nations and religions has been established, feminism has not truly arrived. A third perspective suggests a world girls’s movement will ignore and undermine the unique elements of indigenous Iranian feminism that have arisen on account of their history and religion. A fund known as Americans for UNFPA contributed to the Literacy Movement Organization of Iran, providing training more than 7,000 academics, creating a 9-episode television collection on ladies’s well being points together with family planning, and procuring computer systems and other gear. According to the order of World soccer’s governing physique in November 2019, ladies had been allowed to attend stadiums “without restrictions and in numbers decided by demand for tickets”. The ban on girls caused a lot upset, however lawmakers argued it was ladies’s duty is to lift kids and not to attend sporting games.
There are also women within the Iranian police who deal with crimes committed by ladies and youngsters. According to opinion of Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, giving alternative for develop woman’s abilities within the household and society is respecting to the lady. After the dying of Ayatollah Khomeini, most of the restrictions on ladies were lifted. the federal government tried to stabilize population development distributing contraceptives often without charge. This caused the fertility price to say no from three.2 to 2.three youngsters per lady, which was one of many lowest charges in the Middle East. In 1992, the High Council of the Integration Revolution adopted a set of Employment Policies for girls, that inspired the mixing of girls into the labor drive while still emphasizing the importance of household roles for ladies. Women had been encouraged to enter gynecology, pharmacology, midwifery, and laboratory work.
Some cities – Yazd is one example – have ‘Women Taxis’, with female drivers and for feminine customers only. The trench-coat fashion is the most well-liked version for style-acutely aware Iranian ladies, however it may be scorching and uncomfortable – remember that your manteau will need to keep on in eating places, cinemas, retailers and different inside public spaces. It soon turned clear that the Iranian revolutionaries needed to ascertain a strictly conservative social order. They subsequently reversed the Shah’s move to place secular courts in control of family matters, as an alternative making this the prerogative of Iran’s religious leaders as soon as extra.
At that time, I could not think about Amnesty would at some point take the lead in campaigning to free me from Iran’s Evin prison 25 years later. Throughout the 1980s, Amnesty International — then the most prominent of human rights’ organizations — refused to marketing campaign for jailed and tortured gender activists, insisting they weren’t political activists and so outdoors their mandate. Amnesty also refused to sentence governments that ignored non-state actors’ violations in opposition to ladies. Among feminists and inside women’s organizations, frustration and disappointment with Amnesty deepened.
Thus the morality police and other state brokers had no easy justification for arresting women for gown-code violations, and tactics for expressing agency and opposition by this primary era of women residing beneath the IRI continued. The vociferous opposition took the brand new leaders by surprise and they briefly retreated. Over the next two years, nevertheless, the regime used the rhetoric of patriotism to gradually reimpose veiling, first for government workers, then for any lady accessing government offices and buildings, then for college students. In this photograph about 1,500 folks marched via heavy snowfall on International Women’s Day in Toronto on March 8, 1980.
A Lethal Mistake Revealed on Persian Woman And How to prevent It
Iranian women do not have custody of their children, compulsory veiling remains to be enforced and domestic violence is insufficiently condemned by legislation. According to a May eleven evaluation by the International Civil Society Action Network of the primary televised electoral debate, there was only one question about ladies, with a two-minute response time allotted. All six candidates made promises about creating jobs and decreasing poverty during their campaigns, however the social, financial and political status of ladies was barely mentioned. Among them had been larger inclusion of women within the nation’s economic exercise, repeal of discriminatory legal guidelines, increased female sports and a quota reserving no less than 30% of ministerial positions for ladies. The absence was a departure from the June 2009 presidential marketing campaign, when two reformist candidates backed women’s rights. The eighth of March is a day for world, collective reflection on that historical past and on the circumstances we must proceed to problem that create obstacles to ladies’s full, free and fearless participation in all aspects of human social life. There has been a minimum of one instance of a girl in full chador climbing onto a platform on a busy avenue and waving a scarf to protest her lack of bodily autonomy.
However; the Islamic rules about clothes are not as strict as they might initially seem. Against the widespread belief girls in Iran respect colourful garments and have an excellent sense of style, selecting trendy garments whereas following the costume code.
The Iranian authorities proves to be scared of a extremely politicized scarf which symbolizes girls powers and civil disobedience. Four decades of authority, regional proxies, a large military, billions of dollars in oil money, and state-run tribunes and media have not been able to silence women. In 2006, a one-million signature campaign objecting to discriminatory family legal guidelines was suppressed. In 2015, a campaign called “My Stealthy Freedom” was launched by the Iranian journalist Masih Alinjed who is predicated in the US. Women began sharing photographs of themselves while defying the obligatory hijab.
But the trendy ladies of Tehran wear a rusari—a shawl overlaying the top and knotted under the chin or wrapped across the neck, personalised by material, color, sample, and magnificence of drape. Muslim-majority international locations have a historical past of regulating girls’s clothing by way of official dress codes, whether or not banning headscarves or requiring them. In Iran, for example, Muslim girls’s gown was a political matter lengthy earlier than it became the symbol of revolution in 1979. The shah banned the total-body overlaying called chador in 1936 as a part of his try to undermine the authority of the Shia clerics and westernize Iranian women. Even Barbie wears a headscarf on a doll modeled after the American fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad.
But it was the September dying of the girl who set herself ablaze, Sahar Khodayari, that had the largest impact. The news of her demise at age 29 spread widely on-line with the help of the hashtag #bluegirl — a reference to the colour of the Tehran membership she supported, Esteghlal. The ban itself dates from 1981, launched by onerous-line conservatives, and is an unwritten rule that has denied ladies entry to stadiums since then. In latest years, it has been extended to volleyball and basketball as the popularity of those sports activities has grown. But despite its lopsided nature, the sport beautiful iranian women was among the most consequential sporting events to be performed in years, because it marked the tip of a prohibition that had been bitterly opposed. The determination to allow girls to look at came only one month after a soccer fan died after setting herself on fire in protest of a six-month prison sentence for attending a membership recreation this year. The game between Iran and Cambodia would typically merit little curiosity as one other mismatch between a regional heavyweight and an additionally-ran in an early qualifier for the 2022 World Cup.

Half-way point - no rescission budget bill
The Kansas Legislative session is half way done - but it has yet to pass a rescission budget bill. The state is currently projected to run a deficit for the 2010-2011 fiscal year that ends June 30, 2011. By law, the budget must balance - and by law, the Governor cannot use allotments (cuts to the budget made by the Governor) while the legislature is in session. What does this mean for you? If a rescission bill is not passed, the Governor will have to make allotments with only a little over a month in the fiscal year - "deep" would not describe the cuts that would be made to balance the budget in just one month.
Politics of the Work Comp Reform
HB 2134, the bill that proposes to make significant changes to the workers compensation benefits statutes in Kansas, has passed the House and is scheduled for hearings next week. While the bill passed the House with little fanfare, there are rumors of potential controversy in the Senate. The House passed another initiative that unions do not like (see below). The politics of that bill will likely spill over to affect HB 2134 as the Senate works the bill and moves it through the process. KAIA will continue to monitor action and support the amendment that would allow sole proprietors to sign a waiver to opt out of workers compensation.
Workers Compensation - the Insurance Side
KAIA also has significant interest in HB 2139. This bill proposes to modernize rates (surcharges) for the assigned risk pool. With the help of Representative Proehl (Parsons) and Representative Montgomery (Olathe), KAIA amended the bill in the House Insurance Committee to allow up to four loss cost multipliers per single company license. This change would increase competition without destabilizing the market. The bill passed out of committee - please be sure to thank those members of the House Insurance Committee for their support - and give special thanks to Representatives Proehl and Montgomery for taking action. On the floor of the House, the bill picked up another amendment that essentially allows the State Fair to look to the private market for workers compensation insurance. The bill passed the House. It is now in the Senate Financial Institutions and Insurance committee. The amendment was not without some opposition so watch this one closely as KAIA may call on you for assistance. KAIA will continue to advocate for modernization of rating flexibility to improve market competition.
Surplus Lines Assigned to Subcommittee
SB 206 and SB 178 were both assigned to a subcommittee of the Senate Financial Institutions & Insurance Committee. Both bills propose to establish a mechanism by which the state may continue to receive the surplus lines premium taxes after July 2011 when new federal provisions that attempt to streamline collection and remittance of taxes go into effect. The bills propose two entirely different mechanisms - and both may face legal challenges as some provisions of the bills do not comply with federal law. KAIA Board member and Government Affairs Committee member SueAnn Schultz testified at the subcommittee hearing, detailing the challenges that agents and brokers have with the current system, and potential problems with provisions in both bills. The subcommittee plans to meet again on Monday.

Senate passes rural tax credit
The Senate, 34-5, this afternoon passed a lightly amended version of Gov. Sam Brownback's five-year income tax exemption for out-of-staters who move to Kansas counties that have lost population in the past decade.
The Senate bumped Brownback's 40 counties to 44 before passing the bill.
The measure, Brownback says, will draw new people to rural Kansas counties, helping to repopulate them and bring new wealth, spending and jobs to the state.
The Senate added Hamilton, Kearney, Pratt and Hodgeman counties to Brownback's 40-county list of Barber, Chautauqua, Cheyenne, Clark, Decatur, Edwards, Gove, Graham, Greeley, Greenwood, Harper, Jewell, Kingman, Kiowa, Lane, Lincoln, Logan, Marion, Morton, Ness, Norton, Osborne, Pawnee, Phillips, Rawlins, Republic, Rooks, Rush, Russell, Scott, Sheridan, Sherman, Smith, Stanton, Trego, Thomas, Wallace, Washington, Wichita and Woodson counties.
The bill also provides for county-option payments toward student loans for out-state students or Kansas students who settle in one of the 44 counties.
Vote Seen as "Anti-Union"
The House, on an 80-36 vote, today forwarded to final action Thursday a bill that would prohibit Kansas employers from deducting from union member employees paychecks any money for political action activities.
The measure is the most significant against unions by lawmakers in several years. It is controversial because unions typically bundle their voluntary political action committee contributions with the dues paid by members. Kansas is a right-to-work state and workers can't be denied employment for failure or refusal to join a labor union.
Penalty for use of employer-deducted union dues for political activities is a two-year prohibition for the union to receive its dues through a payroll checkoff. It's unclear whether the measure would require the Kansas Attorney General to investigate allegations of commingling of union dues with political action expenditures.
The measure applies to public employee and private industry unions.
Commissioner to Hold Hearing on Affect of Health Insurance Reform on Agents
Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger will conduct a public fact-finding hearing March 14 regarding the impact on Kansas insurance companies and agents of a medical loss ratio (MLR) provision in the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA). The hearing will begin at 1 p.m. in the Shawnee A Room of the Maner Conference Center adjacent to the Capitol Plaza Hotel, 1717 S.W. Topeka Blvd, Topeka.
"Kansas insurance agents asked our department to conduct this hearing, and we think it is important to have their testimony on the record," Commissioner Praeger said. "We intend to compile the information, and, if there is justification, petition the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adjust the MLR percentage as stated in the ACA."
Those interested in presenting oral testimony at the hearing should contact Linda Sheppard, director of the Kansas Insurance Department's Accident and Health Division, at firstname.lastname@example.org.

amazon.com – Johnny Townsend’s “Let the Faggots Burn: The UpStairs Lounge Fire” (2011)is an exceptional book. The subject is one element of the volume’s notable qualities. It is about gay people who are caught in a tragic fire that was intentionally set in a New Orleans’ gay bar in 1973. More than thirty people died in this fire. A second element of the book’s real value is Johnny Townsend’s tone. The book shows compassion, understanding and love for those who died and for their relatives. Townsend produces an enormous amount of detail about the human beings involved in the tragedy and its aftermath. He exposes terrible insensivity and incredible suffering. “Let the Faggots Burn” is testimony to how destructive hate and discrimination can be. Further, it is a sign of hope that perhaps times are now changing because to read his book, nearly 40 years after the fire,is gratefying in that our nation has passed a hate-crime law and communities like my own Salt Lake City, Utah has passed nondiscrimination ordinances that make LGBTQ community feel more welcomed and wanted and appreciated. “Let the Faggots Burn” is hard to read because of the subject. It nearly brought tears to my eyes, and yet it is good to beleive that Townsend’s historic writing about the New Orleans’ fire is a sucessful attempt to cast off a cloak that masks our country’s need for better treatment of all peoples. He is to be commended for having the courage and the skill to produce this work.
