Two men who have been sentenced to death for the murder of Suzanne Tamim, a Lebanese pop star, have appealed against their conviction in Egypt.

Hisham Talaat Moustafa and Muhsin Sukkari are accused of killing the 30-year-old Tamim in her apartment in Dubai in July of 2008.

Moustafa, a prominent Egyptian politician, billionaire, and friend of Hosni Mubarak’s son, hired Sukkari, an ex-policeman, to kill Tamim for $2 million after she ended her affair with Moustafa.

When should you compromise and when do you stand your ground? Well, there’s no real science to it, but many couples figure this out eventually from trial and error.

Trying to compromise all the time and keeping the peace often times means that your opinions aren’t heard or that you may start to resent the person because you’re not getting what you really want.

However, standing your ground and defending your position can mean constant fighting and bickering. What to do?

There are times when you need to decide which course of action is better for both yourself and your relationship. Here are some good examples of when to compromise:

How do you know when it’s the right time to walk away from a relationship?

This question is fraught with landmines—it’s never easy to walk away from someone you love, but sometimes it’s the best thing for you.

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to love. Some people stay in the worst relationships because they cannot bear to be apart from the person they fell in love with, or because they hate the idea of being alone. Everyone knows one pf these people.

But when it comes to personal safety, there are a few red flags everyone should be able to spot as a warning sign. These are signals that its time to not only reevaluate why you’re with this person, but whether or not you will continue to be with them. The following are things to watch out for:

Good friends are there for everything in your life. They drive you to be better, make sure you don’t make a fool of yourself, have fun, and most importantly, look out for you.

That’s why, when they don’t like your boyfriend or girlfriend, it can raise a lot of problems. Animosity between your partner and your group of friends or a friend can become heated and often puts you in the uncomfortable position of being stuck in the middle.

No person is alike—we all like and dislike different things. Some people love hummus, some hate it, some love soccer, some can’t keep their eyes open longer than 10 minutes.

However, there are a few traits that most singles are looking for in a potential partner. There are just some things that nearly everybody wants and desires. Once you know what they want and how to portray this, then you will be one step ahead of the pack:

A Swiss businessman defied the country’s recently imposed constitutional amendment banning minarets, by building his very own minaret atop his office.

Guillame Morand opposed the ban on the new construction of minarets in the country, which is an effort to curb militant Islam. Morand, the owner of a chain of shoe stores, vehemently countered the ban by building the minaret atop the chimney above his office.

Being engaged is at once exciting, wonderful and completely frightening. Oftentimes, there’s this part of yourself that wants to just get the wedding over with and just start your life with this person, but there’s this other part…that, well wants to hang onto the life you’ve known and built.

It’s a stressful time and one of the most important transition periods in your life, if not THE most important. Before jumping into a marriage though, there are some topics that should be discussed. It’s much better to find out what assumptions your partner or you may have now, rather than later. Here are some good questions to ask yourselves:

London. Just the name conjures up images in my head of glittering skylines, ancient-looking brownstone buildings and vast stretches of concrete coupled with snow-draped trees.
It’s a metropolitan city unlike any in the world.

The melting pot of England comes to a boil in London, where sections of the city have been carved out by different ethnicities and some neighborhoods are a mishmash of everything under the sun, where everyone lives together under the same dreary sky.

“So…what are you doing Friday night?” It’s an awkward question, one fraught with multiple meanings, eagerness and above all, fear.

Being asked out has a lot of emotions attached to it. First, there’s the flattery. It’s that ‘hey, someone likes me and is asking me out.’ There’s also the surge of happiness—that is, if it comes from someone you like back.

However, there are times when inevitably, someone you’re just not interested in for whatever reason, will ask you out. For those times when you’d rather a giant hole open up in the earth and swallow you alive, use some of the tips mentioned below to stave off a potentially terrible date. It takes class, honesty, and a whole lot of tact to turn down someone respectfully yet firmly. Here are some good ways:

A Russian-born German man was sentenced to life in prison last week for fatally stabbing a pregnant Egyptian woman in a courtroom last July.

The sentencing has been long-awaited since Alexander Wiens fatally stabbed the woman, who was a pharmacist, in the very same German courtroom where he was sentenced. Marwa al-Sherbini was described by family and friends as an upstanding citizen, and human rights activists and the Arab population worldwide decried the brutal murder of both her and her unborn child.
