 317  317  # Sarah El Deeb and Lee Keath of AP report that the Egyptian government says
 318  318  # the change is because of blackouts in Cairo, even though Ahram Online (cited
 319  319  # above) says DST had no affect on electricity consumption.  There is
 320  320  # no information about when DST will end this fall.  See:

      325 +# This is based on a law (no 35) from May 15, 2014 saying it starts the last
      326 +# Thursday of April....  Clocks will still be turned back for Ramadan, but
