For the first time in Saudi Arabia, a woman has been named editor-in-chief of a daily newspaper published in the kingdom.
The English-language Saudi Gazette announced on its Web site that Somayya Jabarti will take the helm at the newspaper. Her predecessor Khaled Almaeena wrote on Feb. 16 that Jabarti has worked with him for almost 13 years and is a determined and dedicated journalist.
He wrote on Feb. 16 in the Saudi Gazette that “it was not a question of gender but of merit that decided and earned her this opportunity.” Jabarti was formerly deputy editor-in-chief at the newspaper she now leads.

沙烏地阿拉伯頭一遭,一名女子被任命為在該王國發行的一份日報的總編輯。
英文報紙《沙烏地公報》在其網站上宣布,索瑪雅.賈巴爾蒂將領導該報。她的前任總編卡勒德.阿馬伊納二月十六日寫道,賈巴爾蒂與他共事幾近十三年,她是一位堅決、敬業的記者。
他二月十六日在《沙烏地公報》上寫說︰「這不是性別的問題,而是由功勞論定,功績讓她贏得這個機會。」賈巴爾蒂之前是在她現在掌舵的報紙擔任副總編輯。
在沙烏地,僅有少數新聞學學位提供給女性,而沙國許多極端保守的伊斯蘭教士主張,女性不應與男性一起工作。

One of us is a murderer. The terrifying thought fills your head. There’s a corpse in the next room, and one of your fellow diners put it there. As the evening progresses, you learn disturbing secrets about everyone, and you’re forced to confess to a few yourself. You all have motives for the crime, but who committed it? Fortunately, it’s just a game. Murder mystery games are multiplayer role-playing games designed to be played over the course of an evening. The concept likely originated with “wink murder,” an amusing pastime that became popular in the early 1900s. In this game, a “murderer” kills
A: How does Taipei’s YouBike service charge after the free ride for the first 30 minutes? B: It’s NT$10 every 30 minutes within four hours. A: What a bargain. No wonder Taipei is listed by Britain’s “Time Out” magazine as one of the best 50 cities in the world. B: But I spotted a few English mistakes on YouBike’s Web site. A: I guess that aspect of it still has room for improvement. A: 台北市YouBike前30分鐘免費,之後怎麼算? B: 4小時內每30分鐘10元。 A: 真劃算,難怪台北市會入選英國《Time Out》雜誌全球最佳的50座城市。 B: 不過我在YouBike的網站上看到了好幾個英文錯誤。 A: 看來這個部分還有改善的空間。(By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/ 台北時報張聖恩)
