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.

There are only a handful of journalism degrees offered to women in the kingdom, and many ultraconservative clerics in Saudi Arabia argue that women should not work alongside men.

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。

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
