The airline was founded by the government after independence on 15 September 1948, as the Union of Burma Airways (UBA). It initially operated domestic services only, and international services were added in 1950. The name was changed to Burma Airways in December 1972, and to Myanma Airways on 1 April 1989 following the renaming of the country from Burma to Myanmar. International services of Myanma Airways have been made as joint venture airline, Myanmar Airways International (MAI). Myanmar National Airlines is the majority shareholder of Joint Venture Company MAI, set up in 1993.[3] In 2003, it was proposed to set up a Myanmar-based airline for chartered international passenger and cargo flights, which was planned to be called Air Myanmar. What would have been a joint-venture between Myanma Airways and private investors was abandoned in 2005.[4] Myanmar National Airlines provides ground-handling services for Other airline's charter,schedule and non schedule flight.
In mid-2012, Myanma Airways ordered to lease two new Embraer 190AR from GE Civil Aviation Services Co.Ltd, that replaced its Fokker F-28 from November 2012.[5] On February 11, 2014, at the Singapore Airshow, Myanma Airways signed a $960 million deal with GECAS for four Boeing 737-800s and six Boeing 737 MAX planes. The deal is the largest commercial sale by a U.S. company to Myanmar in decades and is the largest single aircraft order in the history of Myanmar's aviation industry.[6]
In December 2014, Myanma Airways re-branded itself as Myanmar National Airlines.
Following the arrival of its first Boeing 737-800 in June 2015, Myanmar National Airlines announced the resumption of international services after a 22-year hiatus to Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok. International services resumed with the inaugural flight to Singapore on 19 August 2015.[7] Myanmar National Airlines then launched its second international service to Hong Kong on 4 December 2015 following the arrival of its second Boeing 737-800.[8] Myanmar National Airlines (MNA) sets to begin its flights between Yangon and Bangkok starting from February 20, 2016 marking Thailand as its third international destination.
As of June 2017, Myanmar National Airlines flies to the following destinations:

Accidents and incidents[edit]
Union of Burma Airways[edit]
- On 26 June 1954, Douglas DC-3 was hijacked by members of the Karen National Defense Organization (KNDO, later the Karen National Liberation Army). After the killing of Saw Ba U Gyi in 1950, the first president of the Karen National Union (KNU), the group sought to regain both a political initiative and financial leverage. Three KNDO members - Major Saw Kyaw Aye, Captain Thein Kyaw and Captain A Nyein - planned to hijack a plane, and use it to smuggle illegal weapons. They successfully hijacked the plane, and forced its British pilot Captain A.E. Hare to land on a deserted beach, after other group members had failed to build a suitable temporary runway in Karen. Finding 700,000 Burmese kyat in metal chests in the cargo, cash being transported between bank branches, they confiscated this and then let the plane take off. Censorship banned reporting of the story for over 50 years, but in April 2014 it was the subject of the book The World's First Hijacking, and is being developed into a Hollywood-produced film under the same title.[18][19]
- On 2 September 1955, Douglas C-47A XY-ACQ struck Mount Popa (28 miles east of Lanywa) en route from Meitkila to Lanywa, killing all nine on board.[20]
- On 8 August 1956, Douglas C-47B XY-ADC struck Mount Pindaya (near Thazi), killing 11 of 22 on board.[21]
- On 10 June 1963, Douglas C-47A XY-ACS struck Mount Kaolokung, China, killing all 20 on board.[22]
- On 23 May 1969, Douglas DC-3 XY-ACR crashed on approach to Lashio Airport following a loss of control, killing all six people on board. The aircraft was operating a domestic non-scheduled passenger flight.[23]
- On 16 August 1972, a Douglas C-47B, registration XY-ACM, crashed shortly after take-off from Thandwe Airport on a scheduled passenger flight. Twenty-eight people on board were killed and only 3 survived.[24]
- On 24 August 1972, Vickers Viscount 761D XY-ADF was damaged beyond economic repair at Sittwe Airport when it departed the runway on landing and the undercarriage collapsed. All 43 on board survived.[25]
Burma Airways[edit]
The former Burma Airways had a poor safety record but now, as Myanma Airways is strongly maintaining its safety under ICAO and Myanmar DCA regulations and requirements:[26][27]
- On 8 September 1977, de Havilland Canada Twin Otter 300 XY-AEH crashed into Mount Loi Hsam Hsao, killing all 25 on board.[28]
- On 25 March 1978, Fokker F-27 Friendship 200 XY-ADK lost height and crashed into a paddy field just after takeoff from Mingaladon Airport, killing all 48 people on board.[29]
- On 21 June 1987, a Burma Airways Fokker F-27 Friendship 200 slammed into a 8200 feet mountain 15 minutes after takeoff from Heho Airport, killing all 45 people on board.[30]
- 11 October 1987, a Burma Airways Fokker F-27 Friendship 500 crashed into a 1500 feet high mountain, killing all 49 people on board. This was Myanmar's second-deadliest air disaster, surpassed only by the crash of a Myanmar Air Force Shaanxi Y-8 in 2017, which killed 122 people.[31] 36 foreigners, 14 of them Americans, seven Swiss citizens, five Britons, four Australians, three West Germans, two French citizens and one Thai were among the dead.[32][33]
Myanma Airways[edit]
- On 27 January 1998, a Myanma Airways Fokker F27 crashed while taking off from Yangon, Myanmar, killing 16 of the 45 people on board.
- On 24 August 1998, Myanma Airways Flight 635 crashed into a hill on approach to Tachilek Airport killing all 36 on board.[34]
- On 6 June 2009, Myanma Airways Flight 409, Fokker F28-4000, registration XY-ADW, overran the runway at Sittwe Airport. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair.[35]
- On 24 May 2017, Myanmar National Airlines' Aircraft XY-ALG collided with a tow truck on the ground and The collision made a two-inch hole in the body. (http://www.elevenmyanmar.com/local/9659)

A newspaper report on Friday alleged the 26-year-old Turkey international, who has been charged by the FA with using racially-aggravated language during the defeat at Everton on December 30, made a comment to Bolton striker El-Hadji Diouf during a game at St James' Park in October.
An FA spokesman said: "We will be looking into these allegations and will be contacting El-Hadji Diouf to see if he wishes to provide us with a statement."
Newcastle, who have vowed to defend their £4million signing over the Everton incident, were not commenting on Friday's development.
However, the player's agent, Ahmet Bulut, insisted his client is innocent, as he said: "This is not a true story."
Emre was charged after the Magpies' stormy 3-0 defeat by Everton at Goodison Park.
He became embroiled in an angry row with Tim Howard, Joleon Lescott and Joseph Yobo after his side was awarded a penalty late in the first half.
Manager Glenn Roeder later visited the Toffees' dressing room in an effort to calm the situation but, amid claims he tried to cover up the incident, later strenuously denied Emre's comments, although unpleasant, had been racist.
The latest controversy surrounds Bolton's 2-1 Barclays Premiership victory at St James' Park on October 15 in which Diouf scored both his side's goals as the visitors fought back to win.
Former Inter Milan star Emre has not played for the club since the 2-2 draw with Manchester United on New Year's Day as he recovers from a calf problem.Reuse content

The lucky inmates at Coldingley Prison are being paid £5.35 an hour for a full working week behind bars, designing leaflets and flyers. And, because they are earning enough to pay tax, they are then entitled to tax credits from the Treasury.
This is despite having no outgoings, with the taxpayer picking up the £37,000-a-year bill for keeping them in jail. In a single year, they can rake in almost £12,500.
Critics last night described the payment of the tax credits as a disgrace, which they blamed on Treasury incompetence. It was only discovered after a whistleblower contacted the Daily Mail.
Ministers had previously insisted no tax credit payments were made for work carried out inside jail.
The £11,000 annual 'salary' is being funded by the prison charity, the Howard League for Penal Reform.
It is part of a pilot being carried out at the Surrey jail, which houses life sentence prisoners guilty of some of the most heinous crimes, to assess the benefits of paying inmates the minimum wage.
It is intended to change the attitude among criminals that they will never earn money much money legally, and 'crime pays better'.
But Government officials failed to realise that allowing the project to take place would open the door to the lucrative tax credits, worth £1,300 a year.
The taxpayer-funded handout is supposedly to help people on low wages with their living costs.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davis said: 'It is disgraceful that Treasury incompetence means hard-earned taxpayer's cash is actually going to offenders who are still serving custodial sentences.'
Blair Gibbs of the TaxPayers' Alliance said: 'Serving prisoners should not - under any circumstances - be receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. If this is an oversight, it should be stopped immediately and the money paid back.
'If it isn't, the Government should explain why they are paying benefits to convicted criminals who are already being kept warm and fed by the taxpayer, when so many ordinary families struggling to makes ends meet are getting hammered by rising taxes and energy bills.' The prisoners at Coldingley work at a design studio, completing a full working day. They design and print leaflets, mostly for the voluntary sector. The money raised is used by the Howard League to pay their wages. The prisoners are free to spend the money however and whenever they choose, provided it does not break prison rules. The cash could also be sent straight to family members.
Their wages are a huge increase on normal prison work, which earns inmates between £7 and £12 a week.
Last month, it emerged prisoners at Kirklevington Grange prison, in Cleveland, were earning tax credits.
But these inmates were at least leaving the prison to do their work, which consisted of regular full-time jobs in preparation for their impending release from jail.
At the time, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs insisted that no inmates were receiving payment for work inside jails, but has now been forced to admit this was wrong.
Officials said that, it was only after being contacted by the Daily Mail, they discovered the payments.
A spokesman for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs said: 'We keep all aspects of the tax credit system under review.
'Where there is evidence of abuse or the system not meeting the objectives we have set for it, we will not hesitate to act to ensure the system properly reflects the government's intentions.'

Authoritarian rule and the impending crisis in Singapore
"We have learned that any solution to our problems require much more that the piecemeal measures attempted in the past. It demands nothing less than a fundamental change in our approach to the idea of development, a paradigm shift toward the parallel pursuit of democracy and a market economy." So said the late Kim Dae Jung, South Korea's former president. When the country was undergoing its economic throes in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Kim knew that South Korea needed radical changes in order to resuscitate the economy. South Korea was emerging from a long period of dictatorships and a command economy dominated by the the political elite and chaebols (conglomerates owned by wealthy families). When Kim was elected president in 1998, he ditched authoritarian rule and took the country on a sharp turn towards democracy. The result? South Korea's economy bounced back with a vengeance. Today, corporations like Samsung, LG, Hyundai, SsangYong, Kumho, etc. compete on the international stage with the world's leading brands. And it's not just gadgets and cars that South Korea is exporting, the country's pop culture have found its way into the hearts of people far and wide. Korean television dramas are popular not just in Asia but places as far away as Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. The musical genre of K-pop has become a mainstay in the teen subculture all over the world with the Korean boy band, BigBang, even becoming the "gods of pop" in Indonesia. In 2012, Korean musician Psy took the globe by storm with this Oppa Gangnam Style dance video. Somewhere in here is a lesson for us in Singapore. When I met Kim before he became president, he had repeated to me that it was unfortunate that much of Asia was still under undemocratic rule which stymied the development of our societies. It is a view I share deeply. Innovation does not take place in the halls of government buildings and it cannot be kindled from ministerial pronouncements. Innovation thrives in a culture that not just tolerates but celebrates openness, diversity and, yes, dissent; it flourishes in an environment where people have free and full access to information. Financial analyst Michael Schuman expressed this point perfectly, writing in Time magazine in 2010: "Fear caused by political control doesn't foster an atmosphere conducive to free thinking. Censorship and limitations on information curtail the knowledge and debate necessary for the generation of new ideas. I'm not the only one who believes this is true. Some Koreans...argue that the country couldn't have become more innovative without democracy." It is no accident that freedom of expression and innovation are so commonly juxtaposed in the entrepreneurial world. But even before the 1997 meltdown, economist and Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman had pointed out that Singapore's top-down, input-driven growth model was unsustainable: "One can immediately conclude that Singapore is unlikely to achieve future growth rates comparable to the past." This is because, Krugman explained, "Singapore's growth can be explained by increases in measure inputs. There is no sign at all of increased efficiency." But instead of liberalising our society and encouraging the hard work of innovation like the Koreans did following the financial crisis in 1997, the PAP took the easy way out by transforming our city into a tax haven and attracting the super rich of the world. Instead of making policy adjustments to retain our local talent and investing in our people, our rulers found it expedient to bring in foreigners by the millions. Of course, these measures generated GDP growth but it was growth that masked deeper structural problems of our economy. For one thing, labour productivity levels remained dismal even as GDP expanded. The problem persists to this day with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong lamenting that we have "maxed out" on easy ways of achieving economic growth - a tacit admission that Paul Krugman was right. "Productivity is very tough to do," Lee acknowledges. Indeed it is. Analysts observe that it is harder now to retool Singapore's economy. The PAP has done everything - or almost everything - to kickstart the productivity engine. In 1991, it came up with the National Technology Plan to propel Singapore into the "major league of a world-class innovation-driven economy by 1995." Five years later, it launched the SME21 plan to "promote SMEs is to help them tap into global networks." This was followed by a 2001 report from Economic Review Committee (ERC) which promised to "make Singapore a knowledge economy powered by innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship." Nine years later, another committee, the Economic Strategies Committee (ESC), was formed to "make skills, innovation and productivity the basis for economic growth." Now in 2016, the government has reincarnated the ERC and ESC in the form of the Committee on the Future Economy, or CFE, to (predictably) "recommend strategies to enable companies and industry clusters to develop innovative capacities." In between, there were a myriad of schemes - costing taxpayers more that $20 billion - to boost productivity. They included promoting R&D, enhancing of public-private sector collaboration, upgrading workers' skills and capabilities, increasing foreign-worker levies, subsidising businesses in purchasing IT equipment, and so on. Bodies like the National Productivity Board, SPRING Singapore and, more recently, the National Productivity and Continuing Education Council were established to lead the productivity chase. And yet, for nearly two decades, productivity gains continue to elude us, and we have produced few innovative enterprises that are able to compete internationally. Such a scenario does not paint a bright future of our economy. In fact, Nomura's Global Markets Research predicts that the failed productivity drive will be a drag on economic growth until the end of this decade. We have tried everything except the one that is key: Freeing our society from authoritarian rule. It is clear that the anachronistic paradigm of undemocratic, one-party dominance - where debate, a free media, and a fair election system are non-existent - is the proverbial albatross around Singapore's neck. And because we have taken the easy way out all these years, we are ill-prepared to weather the global economic storm that is about to descend upon us. There is gloom in our housing market, our dollar continues to weaken even as we spent $40 billion of our reserves trying to prop it up, our oil-rig builders Kepple and Sembcorp Marine are under severe strain from cancelled projects; our flagship shipping company Neptune Orient Lines collapsed under unsustainable losses and was sold off; household debt of Singaporeans soared to become one of the highest in the world and, perhaps most frighteningly, China's economy seems on track to becoming the epicenter of the next global economic meltdown - an economy of which we are the biggest foreign investor. Assuredly, we will not be able to avoid the upheaval. The question is, when we emerge from it, will we divest ourselves of the many excuses we have put up to defer from opening up our political system, or will we continue down the dead-end alley of authoritarian rule? -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

Maggie Cooper-Harris: Boehner's Silence Speaks Volumes To Me
While watching the president's State of the Union address this week, I was thrilled to hear him support equal benefits for veterans and their families, no matter the sexual orientation of the veteran. President Obama recognizes that all service members, veterans and their spouses deserve to receive equal benefits because they make equal sacrifices in service to this country. Regrettably, veterans and their spouses in legal same-sex marriages are barred from receiving the same benefits regularly provided to veterans and their spouses in opposite-sex marriages. This inequality hits close to home; I am legally married to a disabled veteran, but the federal government does not recognize our marriage, because my wife and I are both female. Therefore, I am ineligible to receive the benefits that other veterans' spouses receive, and my wife is ineligible to receive benefits that other married veterans receive. In hopes of changing the laws that compel this inequality, last year my wife Tracey and I challenged those laws in federal court with the help of the Southern Poverty Law Center and the WilmerHale law firm. Though President Obama's words were uplifting, the image of Speaker John Boehner sitting motionless while the president announced his intention to provide equal benefits to all veterans and their families had an entirely opposite effect on me, my wife and our family. While most of the chamber erupted in applause in support of America's service members and their families, Speaker Boehner did not. In fact, Speaker Boehner so disagrees with the provision of equal benefits for gay and lesbian veterans that he is leading the fight against Tracey and me in our federal lawsuit by defending the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Perhaps Speaker Boehner would applaud if he realized that the struggles that Tracey and I face are the same ones faced by all married veterans and their spouses when the veteran returns from deployment. While enlisted, Tracey sustained physical and mental injuries during her service. She lives with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an anxiety disorder common among veterans that can be triggered by a traumatic event. She also suffers from multiple sclerosis, a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks a person's brain and central nervous system, and for which there is no known cure. The Department of Veterans Affairs has determined that her multiple sclerosis is connected to her military service. Perhaps Speaker Boehner would applaud if he knew how similar Tracey and I are to countless vets and their spouses: I take time off work to accompany Tracey to most of her medical and counseling appointments; I comfort her when she wakes up abruptly from a nightmare in a cold sweat; I take time off from work or cancel plans when Tracey is having a particularly bad day; and I'm there to console my wife when she is consumed by guilt for not staying in the Army longer. Surely Speaker Boehner recognizes that the struggles that Tracey and I face are the same as those faced by other veterans and their spouses. Despite the legal and loving commitment that Tracey and I made to each other in front of our families and loved ones, Speaker Boehner sees us as unworthy of the federal benefits promised to veterans and their spouses, because ours is a same-sex marriage. The federal government has long recognized the role of the veteran as a provider for his or her family, by providing the benefit of monthly compensation for spouses of deceased veterans who die of a service-connected disease or disability. Should Tracey die from MS, I would be ineligible to receive this benefit. And Speaker Boehner sees no problem with this. By refusing to acknowledge us as legally married, Speaker Boehner -- and those defending DOMA -- demean not only our marriage but the remarkable sacrifice made by my wife, who gave nearly a decade of her life to active-duty military service to the country she loves so dearly. Speaker Boehner may never clap for Tracey and me, but perhaps soon, the federal courts will demand that we -- and all legally married couples -- receive equal treatment under the laws of this great nation.
Ron Carlee: The Most Important, Least Sexy Use of Tax Dollars
Last week I was contacted by Bill Wilson, a reporter for the Wichita Eagle for a story on the city's infrastructure. The mayor had announced that the city needed $2.1 billion for repairs and upgrades to its water/sewer system. The question asked: "Are Wichita's infrastructure problems unique?" No, they are not. Infrastructure investment is a national problem and for the same reasons that Wichita is facing: Age. The good news is that many infrastructure components -- bridges, water distribution systems, storm water systems, and sanitary sewer systems -- have very long lives if well maintained. Some last 50 to 75 years. The bad news is that many systems were built at the same time when a city experienced its initial growth phase. For a number of cases, this was 50 to 75 years ago. Many systems are simply approaching the end of their life expectancy. Deferred Maintenance. In some cases, appropriate maintenance has not occurred, resulting in accelerated or more extensive deterioration. This is especially problematic with streets and buildings (such as schools, libraries, and fire stations). Why? Mainly because maintenance is neither cheap nor sexy. Maintenance provides nothing new or wonderful for the community. It most cases, the voters and taxpayers will "see" nothing for their money. Think in terms of an individual: how excited and thrilled do you get when you have to change the oil or brakes on your car, replace a roof, or get the sewer cleaned? Preventive maintenance is one of the hardest dollars to budget in a city. Lack of resources. While the circumstances vary, much of the first generation infrastructure was built by or funded by developers as they built commercial and residential centers. The cost was recovered in the private financing of the project. Today, most of that infrastructure is now owned by the public. Neither its maintenance nor replacement typically creates a new funding stream unless the project is part of a much larger redevelopment. This strains local budgets, especially in cities that have been hit hard by the recession and/or operate with tax caps and other revenue restrictions. The solutions to these problems will vary by community. In most cases, though, the following will likely be required: Complete and honest analysis to understand the scope and risks; Strategic prioritization based on overall community impact to safety and the economy; Exploration of alternative financing, including public-private partnerships and redevelopment options; and In some cases, the challenging political discussion about raising taxes or fees to generate a dedicated funding stream.The last issue, facing the reality of increased taxes or fees, can be the most challenging. As quoted in the Wichita Eagle, Alan KIng, Public Works Director, said that "the city's utility system has suffered from about 10 to 15 years of maintenance neglect, dating back to the mid-1990s, as steady rates and taxes politically trumped maintaining the system." City Manager Bob Layton explained that "There has been a tremendous amount of pressure over the years on water and sewer rates." These dynamics are hardly unique to Wichita. What distinguishes Wichita and other professionally managed cities is a willingness to openly face reality and work to get a grip on the problem. Candid public conversations and public engagement will be key to successful action. Taxpayers need to have an understanding of the issues, options, and risks. Some may want to engage in an accusatory retrospective about what wasn't done that should have been done. A more productive conversation, however, will be future-oriented, focused on the investments needed to create and sustain a city's vision for its future... And, a recognition that sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
New Presidential Library Opening This Year
MOUNT VERNON, Va. -- George Washington's 1796 farewell address contained a stern warning to the nation about partisan politics, or the "dangers of faction" in the language of the founding fathers. So, when a bipartisan group of U.S. senators was looking last fall to reach agreement on a plan to address the country's budget and deficit woes, it seemed only natural that they went outside the Capital Beltway and met at Washington's Mount Vernon estate, in hopes of finding inspiration in Washington's shadow. It's the kind of meeting that the keepers of Mount Vernon hope to promote as they work toward completion of a $47 million National Library for the Study of Mount Vernon. The estate was to announce Friday that the library, now under construction, will open Sept. 27. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., one of the members of the Gang of Eight who met at Mount Vernon in the fall, said it's an ideal place to meet and think about the long-term health of the republic. "To be able to be in the quintessential American history site, and talk about where America is heading in the 21st century, is pretty cool," said Warner, who is sponsoring legislation to move the Presidents' Day holiday from the third Monday in February to Feb. 22, Washington's birth date. "I think we all understood the seriousness of what we were doing, but (being at Mount Vernon), boy, it sure did drive the point home." The library will serve as a presidential library of sorts, with a few important distinctions from the dozen or so modern presidential libraries that operate under the auspices of the National Archives. For starters, Mount Vernon has prided itself on never accepting government funding, and makes a point to emphasize that this library is not affiliated with the federal government, as modern presidential libraries are. The planned library is not intended for visits by the general public. It is designed as a scholarly destination and a conference center for groups that see a benefit from soaking in the estate's historical vibe. Mount Vernon, which draws about a million visitors a year, has extensive exhibits open for public view, including a museum, orientation and education center that all opened in 2006, as well as the centerpiece mansion overlooking the Potomac River. And the library is a project on a smaller scale than modern presidential libraries. Washington's library comes with a $47 million price tag, though Mount Vernon is raising $100 million to endow the ongoing operation of the library. Mount Vernon President Curt Viebranz says the estate has so far raised $93 million. Meanwhile, the George W. Bush Presidential Library, set to open May 1 in Dallas on the campus of Southern Methodist University, has a $250 million price tag and, at 225,000 square feet, is five times the size of the Mount Vernon library. Lastly, modern presidential libraries, by law, inherit the documents and papers that presidents generated over the course of a term in office. Washington's papers scattered to the winds after his death and are considered some of the most valuable artifacts in American history. When documents and artifacts with a Washingtonian provenance make their way to auction, they fetch premium prices. Mount Vernon has been working in recent years to reacquire key papers when it can. Washington himself had hoped to build a library to archive his personal papers, which he said with understatement "are voluminous and may be interesting." Among the outstanding features of the library: a climate-controlled, oval-shaped vault that will house the estate's rare books – basically the books that Washington himself owned and touched that the estate has been able to acquire. Just 150 feet from the library proper is a 6,000-square-foot scholars' residence that will be home to seven researchers a year who will live there and study topics related to the founding father. The inaugural group of scholars, announced last month, includes researchers who plan to study Washington's role in shaping the Constitution, the plight of enemy prisoners in the Revolutionary War and Mount Vernon's role in sparking the historic preservation movement, among other topics. Conference rooms that accommodate groups of 10 to 75 are built into the library, along with a leadership hall that will feature ultra high-definition video technology to allow the library to record seminars held there and make them available over the Internet. Mount Vernon has a 200-seat auditorium, but it is ill-equipped for small and mid-size groups. Viebranz said Mount Vernon's location, about 15 miles south of Washington, will appeal to conference organizers. It's close to the city and Washington Reagan National Airport, but just far enough out to feel like a getaway. And psychologically, it's worlds away from the us-vs.-them mentality that dominates the city named for the first president. "It's hard for anyone to come here and not want to drop their gun belt at the door," he said.
State Lawmakers Allow Anti-Gay Discrimination
The Republican-controlled North Dakota state Senate rejected legislation Thursday that would have made it illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation. The vote came shortly after senators shot down amendments that would have weakened the proposal and the current law against age discrimination. North Dakota currently does not include sexual orientation among forms of discrimination outlawed in the state. The legislation was pushed by state Reps. Josh Boschee (D-Fargo) and Kylie Oversen (D-Grand Forks). Boschee is the first openly gay legislator in North Dakota history. "It is an extreme disappointment," Oversen told The Huffington Post. "It is sending a message to young people and old alike who are a part of this community and have family members that are part of this community, that our state doesn't care if you are being discriminated against." The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week voted to water down the bill to say the state doesn't condone discrimination based on sexual orientation, but it wouldn't be illegal. The amendment, by Judiciary Committee Chairman David Hogue (R-Minot) also would have raised the age discrimination threshold to age 55 from 40 and change back pay rules on employment discrimination to one year from two years. Hogue did not return a message left for comment by The Huffington Post. He told the Bismarck Tribune earlier this week that he pushed the amendment as a "compromise" to pass the bill. He said change does not happen fast. "We had one good step and then five steps backwards," Oversen said about Thursday's votes. Oversen said opponents claimed that the discrimination bill would have opened a door to gay marriage in North Dakota. Some raised concern about pedophilia and religion, he said. Oversen said the bill included exemptions for religious organizations, but opponents objected that it would have forced Catholic business owners to serve the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender population. "The arguments against are outdated, they are homophobic and inappropriate," Oversen said. The North Dakota vote comes as nearby states also have tackled LGBT issues. In Montana, lawmakers have been debating legislation to remove the state's law against gay sex. The ban has been deemed unconstitutional by the state and U.S. supreme courts. Earlier this month, the Wyoming House of Representatives rejected legislation to allow domestic partnerships. The Wyoming vote followed a committee hearing that included debate over whether sexuality was a choice. Boschee told HuffPost he is talking to local leaders about potential local discrimination bans and plans to discuss a ban for state employees with Gov. Jack Dalrymple (R). He called Thursday's vote "going backwards." Oversen and Boschee said they plan to reintroduce the legislation in 2015. Oversen said the Senate vote defines North Dakota. "It speaks volumes about how far behind we are socially right now," Oversen said. "Not only on this issue, but abortion and voter ID. Every single controversial social issue is coming up this year and they are passing with flying colors. We are saying that citizens of our state can be discriminated against for who they are and who they love." This article has been updated to include Boschee's comments.
Hashemite kingdom of Jordan options for immediate fiscal adjustment and longer term consolidation
This report aims to provide options for immediate fiscal adjustment to the government of Jordan and to set the foundations for longer term consolidation. To that effect, an analysis of the dynamics of revenues and expenditures over the years 2000-2011 is undertaken. Specifically, this report attempts to provide options to stop and reverse the declining trend in revenues observed since 2007. Indeed, domestic revenues declined by 9.4 percentage points of GDP between 2007 and 2011. This steady and structural decline in revenues increased the vulnerability of Jordans public finances to any exogenous shock. Hence, the strong fiscal stress at the eve of the Arab Awakening, due to the pressures to finance widening power sector deficit following the disruption of Egyptian gas supply, and to meet popular demand for additional spending and subsidies. The report also examines: 1) potential sources of savings from current and capital spending, 2) scenarios to reduce power sector deficit including tariff simulations, 3) options to reduce consumer subsidies and target them more efficiently to the poor, and 4) options to reduce the financial deficit of the water sector. The report ranks the measures according to a rating mechanism that takes into account the magnitude of savings, the efficiency improvements in the use of public resources, the distributional impact, previous dynamic of the spending or revenue item in question, the poverty and social impact, and the growth impact. Finally, the report proposes a matrix of policy objectives and actions that identifies areas of policy reform, policy objectives, actions needed to reach this objective, and time horizon.

I think TV can be fun, inspiring, educational, informative and engaging. Despite living in an age of exponentially advancing technology, we seem to be edging ever closer onto the precipice of either global transformation or the decimation of life as we know it. We need encouraging voices, courageous hearts, and open minds to overcome the mounting drama imposed by the dominator culture.
Now is the time for all the dreamers, movers, shakers, artists, visionaries, revolutionaries and mystics to take their rightful place as leaders of the tribe. We each have a choice to practice compassion towards ourselves and others. We are stewards of this planet and every single one of us matter. Listen to your heart. There's some good stuff in there.

The Malaysian government has received a formal complaint from Indoesia over an "insensitive" and "demeaning" advert created for a vacuum cleaner brand, which said: "Fire your Indonesian maid now!"
The ad, made by the company behind RoboVac, shows a white man relaxing in a chair with a vacuum cleaner close to him, and has been seen as stoking tensions between the two countries over the treatment of Indonesian domestic workers in Malaysia, sparking outrage online.
The ad, which has now been taken down, has been described as "insensitive", "demeaning," and "very disturbing to the feeling of the people and nation" by Indonesia.
"The ad by the private company RoboVac is utterly insensitive and demeaning to the people of Indonesia," the Indonesian Embassy said in a statement.
Indonesian ambassador Herman Prayitno has called for the advert to be banned completely, the BBC reports, and is considering taking legal action against the company.
The treatment of Indonesian migrants in Malaysia has been a constant source of tension, with previous reports of mistreatment and torture of migrant domestic workers on record. Following a series of abuse cases, the Indonesian government issued a ban on Malaysians employing Indonesian domestic workers in in 2009 that lasted for two years.
The issue arose just days before Indonesian president Joko Widodo is due to arrive in Malaysia on a five-day tour of Southeast Asia this week.Reuse content

The owner of the pizza place I worked at for several years in high school & college died yesterday of a heart attack. It wasn't a huge shock... if "you can't trust a skinny chef", then I'd say he was one of the most-trusted around. Really nice guy with a big heart. He called all of the employees "family members" or "his kids", and treated us that way. He even kept up with everyone as we went on to other careers and shut down the restaurant once a year for a "staff family reunion." It still stands as my favorite job--great people to work with and fun regular customers.
It got me thinking about my friends here on Cyburbia... what was your absolute favorite job you've ever worked? Who was your favorite boss?

Hello! A little about me... I moved to Sydney Just over a year ago. I'm an American, single straight female, 31, working in recruitment. I love living internationally, and over the last 8 years I've lived across four countries. I'm on a 457 visa so here for the next few years at least. I work long hours to be honest, standard Monday to Friday then usually hit the gym after work. I love socialising but don't want ours to be the party place. I enjoy a good glass (or few) of wine, nights out, nights in, the outdoors, trying new things, meeting new people and going on adventures. Also, I like being creative, so Have some more decorating ideas for the place!
Fabulous city views from the balcony/tv room of this two bedroom/two bath apartment. The picture doesn't do it justice; certainly makes it hard to take living in Sydney for advantage! Within the building you also get access to a gym, sauna, and outdoor pool! I have a couple beach/pool chairs but to be honest I usually just lay out on my towel!
The bedroom is large, with plenty of space for a queen (possibly king) bed, bedside tables and a dresser. There's built in wardrobes, with mirrored front on the wardrobe so you don't need a dresser. Washer, dryer, new fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, kitchen is pretty much stocked. The whole apartment is furnished, It's only your bedroom which is unfurnished. Your bathroom has separate shower and bath. As well the apartment is split level, which means it's quiet, and we won't bother each other watching tv or cooking in the kitchen. There's also a parking space within the locked/secure garage.
I absolutely love the location. At the bottom of Surry Hills, it's walking distance to Crown Street, Moore Park, Centennial park, Cole's, Aldi's, multiple bottle-O's, Central Station, Redfern Station, Green Acre, the famous Bourke Street Bakery, all the pubs and clubs of Crown and Oxford street, several bus options as well. Right in the middle of Bondi and Coogee, you can bus to either beach!
Text me a bit about yourself and let me know if you'd like to view it!

|Welcome to Saab92x.com!
Hi all,
I am new here and am struggling to find a aero hoos for my Saabaru. I got into a front end collison and the body shop is willing to swap my hood from the original to the sport look of the aero hood.
I NEED HELP FINDING ONE!!! lol.....they have searched everywhere and are currently looking in sweden. Please contact me if you can provide me details as to where I can locate one etc...
I appreciate your time.
Make: Saab
Model: 9 2X
Year: 2006
I looked into it a little more and see that the 2005 aero hood may fit. Can anyone confirm this? Also does anyone know where to get one?
Thanks again
Do you realize that everyone can see the whole forum?
Sorry guys I am new here and thought I would get a faster response this way. I will stay on one topic.
I hear those are very hard to come by. There's a guy on here parting 3 out, Rori is the name. Im not sure what's left of those. You have a linear?
Yes I have a linear 2.5i. I will be looking to make mods on it soon and I thought with the car being in the shop that I could get a freeby with the new hood.....lol
Look, the reality is that GM stopped producing these cars 6+ years ago, after only 2 model years. Since then, GM sold/lost its stake in Subaru, Saab went bankrupt and changed hands a couple of times. You could pretty much write off any body work as harder to find replacement parts to begin with, even in 2006; add the factor of longevity and crashes, and it's pretty easy to say that you're searching for a very specific needle in a needle stack.
Appearance mods aren't generally well-received here. Most of the earlier buyers of these cars knew they were getting a sleeper, and that has, with a few notable exceptions, been a trend. Even a few aero guys swapped linear hoods to run a FMIC - so going for a certain look without the substance behind it can get the rabble roused.
Same flak is dished out to the "hai guise i wanna ad turboz my linear and i don't think A NYONE HAS EVER DONE THIS BEFORE!!!1111!!!!" posts that pop up here once in a while, too.
It's the internet. hang out a while, do some searching through the mods section, expect that someone's going to talk shit, and dish some back. Sensitivity is a sign of weakness around here, and the predators love to thin the herd. Especially when it's been slow.

Six feared dead in powerful blast at Chinese fireworks plant
Six people were feared killed and 46 were injured in a powerful blast at a fireworks factory in south China's Guangxi Zhuang region, according to local officials.
Four were confirmed dead and two were still missing one day after the explosion at the Gongguan Export Fireworks Plant, the largest fireworks maker in Beihai city, a Beihai municipal government official said.
Search efforts were slowed down because rescue workers were worried there might still be unexploded fireworks hidden in the rubble, the Xinhua news agency added.
In reaction to the blast, officials in Beihai ordered all fireworks plants in the city to close down for safety inspections, Xinhua said.
Last week, four workers were killed in a separate fireworks explosion, also in Guangxi.
China is the world's biggest maker of fireworks, with people in rural areas often illegally producing them in their homes.
Authorities have vowed to crack down on illegal and hazardous fireworks factories, but accidents still happen.

Look in your rearview mirror, Infiniti M37. That midsize sedan on the way to catching you as luxury segment leader in Consumer Reports ratings is the Audi A6.
The magazine says the redesigned A6 improved so significantly that it is now grille-to-grille for the top spot in the segment. A6 was among four luxury sedans tested for the magazine's January issue and the M37 was tested previously.
"The redesigned Audi A6 is an impressive car and a joy to drive," said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' Auto Test Center. Besides the A6, also tested were the Infiniti M35h, Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTec and Saab 9-5.
But don't rush to a showroom quite yet. None of the vehicles in the test group carry CR's coveted "recommended" designation -- not because they were bad, but because in three out of four cases, they are new models in which it is hard to predict reliability. The 9-5 was the exception. it just didn't score high enough.
Prices for all of the midsize luxury sedans that CR has been testing have ranged from $46,655 for the 9-5 to $58,655 to the M35h.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110920/MM71626LOGO ) Each year, greater numbers of companies have conducted meetings online or provided for online participation, along with scaled down in-person meetings. Most states now have updated statutes to reflect the potential of these emerging technologies. Companies of all sizes are offering online meeting participation – including Best Buy, Dell, Intel, NYSE Euronext, Calix, Location Based Technologies and Trans Energy. Growth is expected to continue as further enhancements and options are added to the product.

"The Virtual Shareholder Meeting service provides a secure, easy-to-use solution for companies and their shareholders, regardless of location." A recent white paper by a working group of institutional investors, corporate issuers, financial intermediaries and legal experts recommended best practices for the use of such technologies. "Guidelines for Protecting and Enhancing Online Shareholder Participation in Annual Meetings" defines a number of practical safeguards for issuers and their shareholders to consider when deciding if virtual meetings are appropriate for them, including establishing procedures to validate participants as shareholders and facilitating accurate online voting. A goal of the guidelines is to make virtual meetings more accessible, transparent and efficient, and to enhance shareholder engagement. To accomplish this, the working group encourages companies to display questions submitted by shareholders both before and during a meeting so participants can view them, and to provide a telephone connection for remote participants to ask questions live.

Seven people hurt in Detroit bus stop shooting - CNN.com
(CNN) -- Seven people, at least five of them high-school students, were shot Tuesday at a bus stop in Detroit, Michigan, officials said.
Tuesday's shooting occurred off school property, a Detroit Public Schools spokesman said.
Two of the victims were in critical condition; the others were in serious condition at area hospitals, Police Chief Roderick Grimes said.
"Two perpetrators, possibly three, pulled up in a vehicle, exited their vehicle with weapons, asked for a person by name and then opened fire onto the crowd," he said.
"They got back in their vehicle and exited the scene."
Police Officer Leon Rahmaan described the vehicle as a green minivan and said the incident occurred about a mile from Cody High School at 2:30 p.m., as summer-school classes were ending for the day.
The shooters -- both of them male -- covered their faces with either masks or T-shirts, he said.
The incident occurred off school property, said Robert Bobb of the Detroit Public Schools, who said summer school would continue Wednesday as scheduled.
"Tomorrow, we'll have new leadership in place at the school," he said. "We want parents to bring their children, have their children continue to come to summer school here tomorrow."
No one was immediately taken into custody, police spokesman Dan Donakowski said.

Detroit School Official 'Very Confident' of Arrests in Bus Stop Shooting
Wednesday, July 01, 2009
June 30: Bus stop near a Detroit high school, where at least seven teens were shot.
Police investigating a shooting at a Detroit bus stop that left seven high school students wounded Tuesday reportedly have suspects in mind, and one school official said he is expecting arrests to be made soon.
Robert Bobb, the district's emergency financial manager, told WDIV-TV on Wednesday he's "very confident" someone will be brought to justice within 48 hours.
Bobb's comments came a day after two gunmen in a green minivan opened fire on a group of teenagers at the bus stop near Cody High School, authorities said.
Seven students attending classes were among those shot, according to Detroit Police spokesman Rod Liggons.
Five of the victims were waiting for a bus after summer school classes let out. All seven were between the ages of 14 and 17.
Two remained in critical condition Wednesday morning, one was in serious condition, two were in stable condition and two had been released from the hospital.
Detroit EMS acting chief Jerald James told FOX News on Tuesday that the victims appeared to be in good condition and were talking in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
The gunmen exited a vehicle and "asked for a person by name" before they "opened fire at the crowd," said Detroit Public Schools Police Chief Roderick Grimes.

Sad, but it seems like the norm for Detroit. It'll only get worse with Michigan's stepped up releases of prisoners, more cops getting laid off, and major gang tension between rivals in Saginaw and Detroit. Of course Detroit already has enough rival gang problems by itself.

Suspect Released
Not Enough Evidence to Bring Charges

FOX 2 News
DETROIT (WJBK) - The one teenager in custody for the bus stop shooting is released. Police accused Jamel Turner of being one of the shooters, but the prosecutor says there's not enough evidence to charge him.
FOX 2 was the first to catch attorney David Jones as he walked into the Detroit Police Department Northwestern District to pickup his client, Jamel Turner. The 18-year-old was a prime suspect in Tuesday's bus stop shooting that left seven teenagers wounded.
"Apparently they don't have enough evidence like I said yesterday," said Jones. He was right. 24 hours after Turner turned himself into police, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy decided there is not enough evidence to charge him. This despite the fact that police say witnesses picked Turner out from a photo lineup and claimed he was one of two gunmen who opened fire at a Detroit bus stop.
"They were very confident and brass, in my opinion, at the press conference yesterday about this being... the prime suspect. It went from that all the way to well maybe he was the driver. Now I'm hearing well maybe he knows somebody who was involved," Jones said...

Washington, Nov 18: The US top official has said that President Barack Obama will share impressions and thoughts of his ongoing China visit with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Manmohan Singh will visit the state next week. He would be the first head of government to be hosted at the White House after President Obama took over in Jan 2009.
Speaking to reporters, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said, "I am sure that since the President will have just gotten back from China, and that'll be fresh on his mind that he will share some of his impressions and thoughts about his visit to China as well."
According to Kelly, Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs Bill Burns has been very actively involved in coordinating the strategic dialogue framework that the US has with India.
"The Secretary (of State, Hillary Clinton) looks forward to participating in these meetings. I think she is going to host at least one event here at the State Department," he added.
Obama is scheduled to meet Singh at the White House on Nov 24.

Ted Nugent Compares Keynesian Economics To "Jerry Sandusky Managing A Little Boys' Football Team"
In a July 26 column [1] for the Washington Times, prominent Mitt Romney endorser [2] and National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent labeled supporters of Keynesian economics "socialist" before comparing the idea of government playing an expanded role in the economy to "Jerry Sandusky managing a little boys' football team."
Fedzilla is growing fatter, less accountable and less transparent by gorging itself on our tax dollars. Instead of tightening Fedzilla's fiscal belt, government bureaucrats just buy him bigger belts and suspenders, and he gets fatter and smellier each day. The only good pig is a dead pig.
Regrettably, there are way too many intellectually stunted Americans who support this gluttonous and irresponsible spending curse. They are called socialists. Socialists believe in Keynesian economics, which supports government control and meddling in our economy. It's akin to Jerry Sandusky managing a little boys' football team. Another, more accurate name for Keynesian economics is Kamikaze economics.
On June 22, Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach for Penn State University, was convicted [3] on 45 counts related to sexually abusing 10 boys during a 15-year period. He faces life in prison.
Nugent's comments are just the latest bizarre outburst from the outspoken [4] right-wing activist.
- Discussing the Supreme Court decision to uphold healthcare reform, Nugent wrote, "Because our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the 10th Amendment in contempt, I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War." [Washington Times, 7/6/12 [5]]
- Nugent suggested Romney would win more votes if he told Latinos to act more like Asians by stressing the importance of education to their children. [Washington Times, 6/13/12 [6]]
- Nugent became enraged at an interviewer's suggestion that he could not attract moderate voters for Romney before stating, "I'm an extremely loving, passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I'm a damned nice guy, and if you can find a screening process more powerful than that, I'll suck your d--k." He then turned to a female CBS producer and said, "Or I'll f--k you, how's that sound?" [This Morning, 5/4/12 [7]]

Purple rings with yellow centre on leaves of a plant (Sorry cannot identify the plant either). Guess this to be from leaf miner but not sure. Any ideas please? I believe this to be Leaf mines of Enteucha acetosae on Common Sorrel

Species with which Enteucha acetosae interacts
Hello Jan. I can't identify your leaf but it definitely isn't Sorrel - it's too hairy and the wrong shape. Could it be Devil's-bit Scabious?
Which leaves the question of what's caused the marks on the leaf and I'm not much help there either. Doesn't look like a leaf-mine to me, but perhaps a gall, fungus or disease?

Just seven days after finishing second in the Scottish Grand National, galloping four miles and a furlong at Ayr, he bounced back to turn the last big race of the campaign into a procession.
The Paul Nicholls-trained 14-1 chance looked full of running as he cruised up to join leader What's up Boys (6-1) after the second-last fence in the £125,000 event.
And he burst clear once asked for his effort by jockey Ruby Walsh, going on to score by 19 lengths.
There was another 15 lengths back to Scotton Green (40-1) who got the better of Dark Stranger (28-1) for third place, with 7-2 favourite Beau fading into fifth after showing prominent for a long way.Reuse content

Tony Romo is known not just as perhaps the best golfer in the NFL, but maybe all other professional American sports. Beyond playing a decent schedule of tournaments over the NFL offseason, Romo regularly participates in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and has tried to qualify for the U.S. Open several times, as well. Romo hasn't qualified for a PGA Tour event before, but it probably wouldn't surprise many if he made a field someday. Well, that someday may come later rather than sooner, as it appears Romo is putting golf on the backburner. After signing a six-year, $108 million contract this offseason, suffice it to say that the 33-year-old quarterback has a little more pressure to perform this season. Additional pressure is certainly coming down from his owner, as Jerry Jones recently said he expects Romo to spend "Peyton Manning-type time on the job." Something's got to give, and for Romo that appears to be golf. According to an ESPN report, Romo has passed on the Azalea Invitational, a highly regarded amateur tournament, and will not try to qualify for the HP Byron Nelson Championship or this year's U.S. Open, which will be held in June at Merion Golf Club

lack of concern of patient concerns failure accept some techs and nurses sucks and need better bedside manners with families and patient.
He is always defensive and not proactive on making sure his staff providing top quality to patients at dylasis center. He believes in the workers more than the patient and families concern. He and his staff at center is consitant in putting the blame on the patient and their family. His attitude and understanding is not where patient and family feel comfortable in confiding with him. He suggest a plan but does not follow through but expects family and patient to hold their bargain. He manages his own office and dyialsis facility and I feel that sometimes Doctors stretch beyond their capablities and the emotions and lack of concerns shows when he confronted with answers and new issues, He has problem with receiving information with other doctors or 3rd parties that specialize in the fields that impact his diaylsis patient. In the begining I thought he was more concerned. In reality they treat patient as if already dead, and guide no hope to patient. When we first started we hoping the same great personality that recieved when first started but it has been more lack relating and more just getting to the next patient. If only he can face reality that his charge nurses and some of his staff or not where they should be with providing top quality care for the patient than he might have proactive attidude. Some of the nurses, lack of bedside manners tants his character and service because him not facing reality they are not what they protray themselves when he is not around. This process needs to change.

Cheryl Cole has been seen out in public for the first time since being hospitalised with malaria.
The X Factor judge stepped out to buy a coffee from Starbucks yesterday, though the whole trip was completely managed and her driver stayed with her every step of the way.
Leaving her house for only fifteen minutes, Cheryl looked frailer than usual in her jeans and white jumper, however she remained upbeat and chatted with the manager and staff of the coffee joint, before leaving with chilled Frappuccino.
An onlooker told The Sun:
"Her driver was at her side every step of the way.
"She spoke to the manager and the staff, who seemed to know her pretty well.
"She only spent a few minutes inside. While there she signed an Aids petition and put money in a Help for Heroes charity tin."
Cheryl's spokesperson added:
"She will not be going back to work for a few weeks, but everyone is pleased she's up and about."

Janice Norman was six months pregnant when she was jostled on a packed train out of Clapham Junction. She was standing - because nobody offered her a seat - when a smartly dressed young man accidentally hit her in the stomach while pushing past.
Shaken, she went to hospital for a check-up but was told the baby was fine.
A month later she was rushed into theatre for an emergency Caesarean. Eliza, her first child, died five days later. A post-mortem found the baby had stopped developing at exactly the time of the incident.
Ms Norman, 34, said: "The train before had been cancelled so this one was absolutely packed. You know how everyone rushes on, so I was standing up.
"At the next stop a couple of people got off and people were moaning that everyone should move up. Then this bloke barged through and his hand punched me in the stomach.
"I said 'You wouldn't do that to your partner if she was pregnant', and he said Britain wasn't such a wonderful country as no one had given me a seat.
"He had a point - I had to stand pretty regularly. People with seats pretend they haven't seen you, although after our argument someone offered me a seat."
Ms Norman said both she and the man got off at the same stop. She said: "I walked round the corner and burst into tears. I wouldn't do it in front of him. I was upset and had a bit of pain in my stomach, so I went to hospital. They did a scan of the baby's heart but it was fine.
"But over the next few weeks I realised she wasn't kicking much so I went to hospital. They took me straight to theatre for a Caesarean because she was suffering foetal distress."
Eliza died on New Year's Day. Ms Norman said: "I don't know how I have coped. There have been lots of sleepless nights and lots of crying."
Now the financial controller, who left her job because she could not face the journey again, has enlisted the help of her MP to start a "considerate commuters" campaign. Today Tom Brake, Lib-Dem MP for Carshalton and Wallington, will table an early day motion in the Commons to highlight the plight of pregnant women and vulnerable commuters.
If enough MPs sign the motion, legislation could be introduced this winter forcing able-bodied people to offer their Tube and trains seats to those who need them more.
Mr Brake said: "Janice's case is tragic but other commuters do that very British thing of hiding their heads in their newspapers."
Ms Norman, who lives with her partner Robert in Carshalton, said: "I have never asked anyone for a seat. People have been rushing about and are so moody you are scared to ask. But if women read my story, hopefully they will learn to say 'Can I have a seat'?
"If I'd got a seat this wouldn't have happened. I want the man to know what he did but he wasn't totally to blame.
"It's just manners to look round and make sure everybody is OK."
