New design talent in office interiorsThe latest newcomer on the Dubai design circuit is 26-year-old Tanya Gyani. She has arrived from India to take on the role of senior designer for OFIS and head up a turnkey service for office interiors. Keen to get involved in the escalating office industry she is confident that there is a real requirement for this type of service in Dubai. It is important in office design to understand the real needs of the client. Do they sit at computers for eight hours a day? Is their work focused on communication? I can translate these needs into tangible spaces. If space planning and office design caters properly to the client, productivity will increase. Gyani describes her style as being inspired by nature and organic elements. In terms of materials, natural light is an inspiration. I aim to provide soft, comfortable spaces using pastels, light woods, semi-lustrous metals and fluid forms. read more.

Bring back ex-Margao SDMNoel Pinto, Dubai-UAEIt is disgusting to note the treatment given to former SDM of Margao, Mr. Suresh Pilarnekar. The situation in which he is in today is the result of his good work towards the society. How on earth he is deserved such an awful treatment from the government after keeping on check several gambling activities by himself? In fact, he should have been awarded with medal or at least his work should have been appreciated. If he had to cooperate with the gamblers, police and politicians, would he be happy? Definitely yes, he would be happy but not get the satisfaction. He would have made lots of money for himself, but he chose not to do it as he is a man of honour, believe in honesty and the good work for the society. Well, rather than punishing those who are guilty in his attempt to curb the menace of gambling, he paid the price in the form of a transfer to Sanguem as a Forest Settlement Officer. If such things continue, it means government is encouraging the gambling activities, corruption and anti-social elements in our society. Without the intervention of Chief Minister – Mr. read more. Spirit of Norway take the field as strong favouritesDubai: Spirit of Norway go in as strong favourites in the Honda British Grand Prix the fifth round of the UIM Class One World Powerboat Championship in Plymouth this week. Though Spirit of Norway lead the title race by 17 points, they have not had it going their way this season. And when the defending World Champions line up in Plymouth tomorrow, they will be wary of the threat that the list of would-be challengers is growing after each race this season.

He has promises to keep,And Miles To Go Before He Can SleepMahmoud Mohieldin is one of those people you either love or hate there's no gray zone, no safe middle ground. As the brashest and most outspoken of the Nazif Cabinet's Economic Team, where he joins Minister of Trade and Industry Rachid Mohamed Rachid and veteran Minister of Finance and Insurance Youssef Boutros-Ghali, Mohieldin has been working overtime since July 2004 to kick-start the nation's ailing economy. Two years into the job, he is routinely lauded in international circles for both his vision and the bluntness with which he implements it. It's gotten to the point where he seems almost invariably described in the foreign press as "Egypt's tough-minded investment minister." Those same attributes have won him little other than attacks here at home, particularly in the local press, and he knows it: Mohieldin has no illusions about his popularity with the majority of Egyptians who are staunchly opposed to his fast-track privatization program, but he says he's determined to remain focused on "ensuring the Egyptian people their right to a better future." Two years on, the statistics are promising and the programs are working, but the Economic Team still lacks credibility on the street. read more.Stop wasting away money conspiring to teach yourself.
