Parliament approves revoking daylight saving time
Cairo - Arab Today
The parliament under Ali Abdel Aal approved Tuesday a bill to cancel daylight saving time.
The summer time system didn't reduce electricity consumption and affects negatively the daily life of citizens by extending the daylight hours more than the night hours in addition to its impact on the aviation movement, head of the local administration committee Ahmed Al Sejeny said.
Egypt first adopted daylight saving time in 1988 as a way to reduce electricity consumption, but in April 2011 the cabinet endorsed a decree to cancel changing clocks in summer.
Standard time in Egypt is GMT + 2, and GMT + 3 during daylight saving time.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
