Mitra Amirzadeh, a flight attendant based in Orlando, said seat-swap requests have become so frequent they occur during eight out of her ten monthly shifts.
While she rarely intervenes, Amirzadeh, 38, said she will step in as a meditator when a child is
For over a century, International Women’s Day (IWD) has been celebrated across the globe to highlight the extraordinary achievements of ordinary women. Held annually on March 8, I used to think it was a positive day. This year, however, I just feel angry.

I always assumed I would have children — in the same unthinking way I assumed I would make the same money as my parents or live in the same kind of house.
But, as the years ticked by, motherhood never presented itself as an option. I’ve been single most of my life. At 30, I moved to New York and was far too distracted to hear the tick-tock of my biological clock.

Banks are ‘encouraging’ fraudsters to steal ‘billions’ of pounds from customers by denying that exploits in chip and pin systems are possible – and the watchdog is allowing them to do it, a leading expert has claimed.

The Godfather was once described by the film critic Roger Ebert as the only movie that we can all agree on – it’s a masterpiece. Fifty years on from its initial release, the Italian-American family saga is still as fresh as ever. I went to Sicily to follow in its footsteps and explore the cinematic heritage of this wondrous island.
