Mummy what is that man for

Although scholars are not certain, several elements of this portrait indicate its place of origin. The turn of the man's head toward the viewer, the width of the stripe on his tunic, and the way the cloak drapes over his shoulders, as well as the rounded form of the top of the panel itself, find numerous parallels in portraits known to come from the site of Hawara. Hawara was the cemetery of nearby Arsinoe, the main city in the Fayum, where the man in this portrait may have lived.

In the forthcoming elections, voters will be casting their votes for a total of 11 MEPs. If there is a deep-seated disenchantment with national and local politics, when it comes to the EU it is more akin to indifference. This is no criticism of MEPs themselves, most of whom try to do their best for those who have elected them.

It is rather that, even after many years in the EU, many voters still do not understand what an MEP is for, nor what the nature and function of the European Parliament itself is. There is a general impression that MEPs are in the curiously demeaning position of having responsibility without power, and that the EU Parliament is a glorified talking-shop, the chief function of which is to rubber-stamp legislation initiated by the unelected European Commission.

It oversees and implements EU policies by proposing new laws to Parliament and the Council. And when national leaders meet for European Council summits, Parliament gives its opinion on the topics on the agenda. If at least 14 of the 28 Commissioners agree with it, the draft is then sent to the Council and Parliament.

After debating and amending the draft, they decide whether to adopt it as a law.
