Viola brewing up desert stormTHE irony of a boy from Easterhouse conducting high-stakes global business from his luxury apartment in the Dubai Marina has not escaped John Viola. One of Scotland's busiest football representatives may have left his Bothwell base behind two years ago but reports of his professional demise have been greatly exaggerated. Barry Ferguson's long-serving agent and close friend opted for a drastic lifestyle change as the harsh financial reality of Scottish football finally bit. Yet far from indulging in the opulence of the millionaires' playground of the Middle East, Viola has never been busier. As well as operating a burgeoning property business in tandem with Derek Whyte, Viola is also a driving force behind the country's football boom. Once a salubrious retirement home for the likes of Gabriel Batistuta and Ronald De Boer, the Dubai soccer league has recently turned professional and, therefore, more discerning in its import policy. read more.

Grand Hyatt DubaiI drove up to one of Dubai's newest luxury hotels, the Grand Hyatt Dubai, with it's towers majestically standing watch over the edge of the emirate's historic creek. The hotel is a combination of resort facilities, luxury hotel guest rooms and suites, residential apartments and I'm told, one of the most advanced conference centres in the Middle East, all set within a lush oasis of 37 acres of landscaped gardens. The hotel claims it offers a first for a Dubai hotel - the concept of a city resort which includes first-class recreational facilities such as a Zen-inspired Grand Spa, tennis centre, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and jogging track set, and yet the hotel is situated close to the city centre, and just minutes from Dubai International Airport. The property has 674 hotel guest rooms and suites, luxuriously appointed and classically-styled, each providing ultra-modern digital technology and communications. read more.

Officials' waffling may put brakes on monorailThe future of Jakarta's planned monorail remains fraught with confusion as the project's principle actors, as well as state officials, persistently contradict each other on the question of financial guarantees to secure overseas loans. Vice President Jusuf Kalla said Friday that the central government is willing to provide the guarantees for project developer PT Jakarta Monorail (JM) so it can secure overseas loans. However, this can only be done if the Jakarta administration finalizes its contract with JM. "We are willing to issue the guarantee. But the Jakarta administration should ensure with JM that the minimum requirements for the project have been met," said Kalla without elaborating. He reiterated that it was the task of the city administration, not the central government, to guarantee the project. read more.Ignoring the help that is not helpful can become quite a unexciting job.
