Egyptian film shines light on sexual harassment A film lifting the lid on sexual harassment on the streets of Egypt is gaining plaudits around the world. “Cairo 678” tells the story of three fictional women from different backgrounds as they search for justice from daily sexual harassment. One of them is sexually harassed by a group of men after a football match, another insists on taking her harasser to court despite pressure to drop her case and the third responds by stabbing harassers in the groin with the pin from her head scarf. Several aspects of the film were drawn from real-life incidents, said the director, Egyptian Mohamed Diab. He said one of the film’s actresses suffered real gang sexual harassment while the scenes were being shot. A survey in 2008 by the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights claimed 98 percent of foreign women and 83 percent of Egyptian women in the country had been sexually harassed.

Harry Potter conjures success for theme park
10 Years

Officers initiated a drug-related investigation. (reported at 9:12 a.m.) A vehicle that left the scene collided with a car owned by Michelle Richers. The incident occurred sometime since March 31. (reported at 5:25 p.m.)
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s opening in June inside the Islands of Adventure theme park helped boost overall paid admissions to Universal’s Orlando parks by 20 percent in 2010 over 2009, according to financial documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It took five years to make author J.K. Rowling’s fictional world a reality, according to Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative. “It’s an entire world, shops, restaurants and attractions, that all speak to this wonderful body of fiction.” The Harry Potter franchise includes seven books that have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide and seven films that have grossed $5.5 billion worldwide, with the final installment yet to be released. With the help of the film series’ production designer Stuart Craig and art director Alan Gilmore, Universal Orlando wanted to create the next generation of theme parks, paying close attention to detail and using cutting-edge technology for three action-packed rides. The tangible playground begins at the archway into Hogsmeade Village, a celebrated photo spot. Designers took a greatest-hits approach to the park, creating a replica of the Hogwarts Express, Honeydukes sweet shop, Zonko’s joke shop, Ollivanders, the Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head pub, Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods gift shop, and of course Hogwarts castle.
Facebook now lets you ‘unfriend’ from anywhere Anxious to reject some of your digital friends while on the go? Facebook’s update to its iPhone app, released Monday, makes this easier by adding a new feature that lets people “unfriend” each other. Previously, Facebook only allowed users to cull their friend lists from the Web, meaning most people did this task from home instead of from phones. When Facebook announced this update on its “Facebook for the iPhone” Facebook page, more than 4,500 people indicated they “liked” the news. “Amazing update. Now I can unfriend!!!” one user said on iTunes, in a review under the heading “yes yay woohoo.” While bloggers have picked out the “unfriend” feature as the one that’s most fun to talk about, and make fun of, most commenters on Facebook’s page on Tuesday were discussing other features of the updated app.
