Palm Atlantis rises up from the sandLocated on the furthermost point of the busiest construction site in Dubai, the logistics of building the Atlantis on the Palm Jumeirah were never going to be easy. Throw in a midday working ban, an international shortage of tower cranes, the problem of accommodating 2,000 site workers, and the fact that your entire development will be built on sand, and you really have all the ingredients of what is known in the industry as a logistical nightmare. But despite the myriad obstacles threatening the smooth progress of the US $1.5 billion (AED5.5 billion) project, it remains on track for a December 2008 opening. Perhaps the key reason for this has been the unusual approach adopted by developer, Kerzner International.

Logic has it, then, that if one of these two is to make it a double, Dunelight should be the one. read more. Jackie O's estate benefits from local artistIt was around two oclock in the morning.

Earlier in the day he had heard one student say to another "If you google yourself and don't find anything, you're really nothing." TERRY SEMLER He thought about the comment for a moment. Then he went back to work on the thesis and typed on, but, after awhile, he knew he needed a break. Normally, he would have worked on one of his many paintings or other art projects to clear his head. But this time, for the first time in his life, he went online and typed his own name in the Google Internet search engine. "I hit enter," he says," and immediately up pops an article saying that Sotheby's has had a sale of the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and it has brought in over $5 million dollars." He scrolled down and came across this paragraph from the New York Times: "Mary Lou Boone of San Marino, Calif., was in New York visiting with her daughter and felt impelled to have something from the historic era to pass along. read more.We are working hard to compile the most substantial details available to you in one well-organized site.
