Color Me Holi!
2008-03-10 03:35
The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated annually among Indian communities across the world on the day after the full moon in March (this year Holi falls on March 22). It marks the arrival of spring, with hopes of good harvest and fertility, but also commemorates various events in Hindu mythology. Considered the least religious of all Hindu festivals, Holi is now considered an excuse to set aside the very traditional lines drawn by color, caste, gender and religion and enjoy a good party.

Hong Kong's Airport To be RFID Test Area For Emirate
2008-03-10 03:26
Emirates Airline is partnering with London Heathrow, Dubai International and Hong Kong International airports, to trial the latest RFID technology in baggage handling.
Emirates will be investing close to AED2 million, to test the effectiveness and benefits of RFID against the existing barcode tracking system. The largest-ever trial of its kind for the airline industry, some half a million bags on Emirates flights will be tagged with RFID chips over the 6-month duration of the trial.
The Dubai-based airline hopes its investment will help revolutionize the way bags are tracked and monitored, and present innovative solutions to handle the increasing volumes of baggage every year as more people around the world use air travel more frequently.
Dale Griffith, Emirates' divisional senior vice president airport services said: "This is about embracing the latest technology for the benefit of our customers, and we are very glad to be able to embark on this extensive trial together with our airport partners. Our investment in this project is a small price to pay to give our customers greater peace of mind.
The Great Iranian Road Trip
2008-03-10 03:10
Think of it as the great American road trip -- in Iran.
The Islamic Republic may not make the shortlist for your next vacation, but should you end up in Tehran with a taste for something different you might consider a road trip to the northern province of Golestan.
The drive takes roughly eight hours each way, but leads you through some of the most beautiful scenery in Iran. In a country known mostly for its architectural gems like Perspepolis and Isfahan, Golestan is a natural wonderland home to wildlife, wheat fields and a fair part of the Caspian Sea coastline.
One of the first things you'll notice along the drive is the clean air -- in contrast to the smog of Tehran, the air in Golestan is a joy to breathe. What will take your breath away, though, is the scenery, starting at a view of the Alborz mountains and Damavand peak, Iran's tallest at more than 18,600 feet.
Loire Valley: Land of a thousand chateaux
2008-03-10 03:03
(Tribune Media Services) -- The Loire Valley, two hours southwest of Paris, offers France's greatest array of chateau experiences.
Chenonceau has a striking setting and dramatic history.
Wander through sumptuous interiors, cared for by noble families who've lived there for centuries and still put out bouquets fit for a countess. View packs of carefully bred hounds yelping for red meat, as they await their next chance to hunt.
Standing on a rooftop the size of Notre-Dame amid countless chimneys, imagine you're the king's mistress watching proudly as your man's men flush the deer out of the woods and your Louis or Henry or Charles proceeds to shoot them dead. Paddle a canoe alongside a fairytale chateau that lopes gracefully atop an arcade over the Cher River.
The challenge for any visitor: how to choose among the countless castle thrills of the Loire Valley.
