The Dubai Chronicle spoke about a recent Arab Youth Survey that found the youth in Saudi, the Emirates and in Jordan to be more optimistic about their future then the rest of their Gulf peers. Naturally, Dubai features prominently in this survey, given the fact that it is the most populous city in the U.A.E. The opportunities available for Arab youth in Dubai today are myriad.

Sometime last week or early this week, a friend asked if I could run 10km because he was looking for marathon teammates. I told him that I can barely run 2.4km in under twenty minutes and running was not my favourite activity, so I was not a good choice for a team mate. Coincidentally, on the very same day that he asked, I read a post regarding the Great Eastern Women's 10km Marathon and Sugarpants was talking about her marathon training. (That woman is an inspiration, I tell you.)This got me thinking. Since I've been in this let's-try-something-new phase, why not try for a marathon, right? It might help increase my stamina, tone my legs (or make it more manly, I'm not sure yet) and since I signed up for the weight fat loss competition programme, the training would be a good way to burn th

Many months after the handset’s US launch and mere days from becoming available in the UK, the iPhone’s chastity is under threat already from ambitious hackers who aim to unlock the handset from sole network O2 “within hours” of it going on sale.  It’s an ambitious sign of the ambivalence some users are feeling toward both Apple and their UK partner, fuelled by pricing significantly higher than their US counterparts are faced with - £269 ($560) for the handset, and the cheapest line rental package comes in at £35 ($73) a month - and specifications that pale, on the page at least, compared to that offered in other high-end handsets.  (more…) Share This

Yes, Maryland starts from a position of a solid and always improving job base, but the plan outlined by Maryland's Governor should inspire us to be vigilant (imho) about our own 3C Corridor Plan. The Washington Post article about it is here. They are running a bit on faith:"....This is a very ambitious concept, and we don't have money in the bank to pay for it. But we have a reasonable expectation that these are cost-effective ideas that would bring a lot of transportation benefit, and we'll find the money as the years go by,..." but it's a thirty year plan to better connect Baltimore and Washington and turn the Rail System into a full fledged service, not one that enhances the rush hour commute (although there are only a few hours when it's not rush hour there, but I digress). Henry Kay is an administrator with the MD Transit Authority and this quote interested me too:"....Kay said the state is considering private development of stations and parking lots to generate revenue for t

The move could see the company venture into the power generation business and possible joint ventures outside Bahrain, say executives. Alba chief executive Ahmed Al Noaimi hinted at the future direction of the firm following a presentation entitled The Role of the CEO at an event organised by the Bahrain Management Society. Alba unveils plan to enter power generation businessAsked to elaborate on his statement that Alba is in an "expansion phase", Mr Al Noaimi said the firm was engaged in a search to increase its gas resources in order to add a sixth line to its huge smelter and then revealed the firm was looking at going even further.

Wind could provide an estimated 40 percent to 60 percent of demand in the waters around the United Kingdom, particularly off the northern Scottish coast. If the full offshore wind-power potential were harnessed, according to the European Wind Energy Association, offshore wind could provide up to 150 gigawatts of electricity to Europe, though there is currently just 1 GW installed. In Britain,

I have been yearning for some downtime lately. Being the busy bee that I am, people immediately assume that there is always something going on. Most of the time, they are right. Stress in its noun, adjectival and adverbial forms are constantly part of my constant updates. Oh sheesh. When I find myself less frazzled, I start contemplating on how my life has been reduced to. And yes, I don’t think I can complain. It is what it is. Of course, I find moments in between my constantly intense lifestyle that I ask myself why I do this to myself… ....... I’m leaving you guys with a picture from our monthly 4D reunion held at Karen’s house last Saturday. I’m so happy that despite going to different colleges, we make it a point to keep in touch and catch up every month. Good times.
