Dubai - The Ever-Changing City
At the present time, the centre of the construction boom is undoubtedly Dubai. In the hotel sector alone there are plans to build 150 more hotels over the next five to seven years, expanding the number of hotel rooms from 20,000 in 1990 to 55,000. Other new projects underway in Dubai are the $2 billion Dubai International Financial Centre, a huge office complex rumored to include a major skyscraper; the $2.5 billion expansion of the Dubai International Airport; the $3 billion Palm Island project; $1.6 billion Dubai Marina leisure and residential development; $1.6 billion Festival City mixed-use development; further phases of the Dubai Internet City and Media City; and the new Convention Centre at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
In addition, Emaar Properties is developing the Emirates Hills/Emirates Lakes into a massive residential new town, and Majid Al Futtaim has a massive shopping mall and indoor ski resort under construction on a nearby site. Around the Gulf region shopping malls are under construction all over the place. But for now the focus of building activity is Dubai , and all these new offices, homes and hotels will need furniture and interior design.
In 2003, the value of building projects under construction in the UAE were estimated at $28 Billion. The projects include new high-rise commercial/residential districts, hotels, houses, hospitals, schools, universities, public parks, large shopping centers, beach resorts, man-made residential islands, the massive expansion of the airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi , and other commercial premises.

Jackie O's estate benefits from local artistIt was around two oclock in the morning. Missouri Southern State University alumnus T. Crowe (Terry) Semler was having problems with the thesis he was writing for his master's degree at the University of Arkansas. 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. Skandia Cowes Week Day six news round-upThe Black Groups (excluding Class 0 to 3) The blustery conditions today certainly favoured the outstanding performer of Class 4 IRC, the Harry Evans chartered Alvine Jacobite who pulled into the lead straight after the start and led Jim Macgregor's Flair IV down to the first mark off the Hill Head shoreline. Alvine Jacobite used her 48 foot overall length to great effect around a course just shy of 18 miles and recorded her fifth straight win of the regatta and looks certain for the overall class crown. However at the top of the Black Group standings going into the final two days of racing is the Class 5 IRC leader Winsome of Harry Heijst who again scored a victory today to take his tally for the regatta to five race wins. Heijst has been the class act of the fleet as he warms up for next week's RORC Round Britain and Ireland Race and has brought this well-prepared Sparkman & Stephens designed one-off to the regatta in tip-top condition with a superb crew. read more.
