<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A 35mm f/1.4 lens from one manufacturer can outperform the same lens made by a different manufacturer. The first generation of the Canon 35mm f/1.4 L lens is inferior when compared to the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens, in almost any aspect, whether price or optical quality etc. However, the second generation of the Canon 35mm f/1.4 L II is slightly optically better, but the price is more than double.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size: large;">Iranian ministers are worried that there’s a “marriage crisis” in the
country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The average marrying age has
climbed since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The government is discussing taking a huge leap and legalizing
matchmaking websites to nudge singles to get married at an earlier age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reason for the panic?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Officials are afraid delayed marriage will
lead to a loosening of social mores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
average age at which Iranian men<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>marry
has risen from 20 to 28 in the past three decades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Iranian women typically now marry between 24
and 30, five years later than a decade ago (also almost spinsterhood in this
society) (Chicagotribune.com).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>China and
India head the list of Asian countries where the ration of males to females has
remained stubbornly and artificially high.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The birth sex rate in China is now an “alarming” 1.13.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, sonograms are being used in
Asia to identify female fetuses, which are then aborted in large numbers
(discovermagazine.com).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>U.S. Factoid</b>:
A 2010 U.S. study by research firm Chadwick Martin Baily claims 17% of those
married in the past three years met online; other studies go as low as nine
percent (washingtonpost.com).</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #ebebeb; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">A vibrant pan-Arab celebration in southern California featuring Arabic cuisine, music and dance. The festival-goers hail from countries that span North Africa from Morocco to Egypt and extend across the Middle East from Lebanon to the nations of the Arabian Peninsula. With the momentous and historic changes sweeping their ancestral homelands, Arab Americans have raised their voices in response to the raging civil war in Syria, the movement toward Palestinian statehood, and the backlash encountered in the post-9/11 era.</span><br />
