A man believes 3 cans of Redbull will give him enough energy to last a 90 minute game of football. What he didn't realise was that he still needed to eat a high carb meal 2 hours before the game. That's you saxib. You have a stomach full of acid with little in the way solid food.

^Remember everyone talking about getting into the property market? Glad I didn't dive in. We bought from a reputable Abu Dhabi developer and construction if progressing well. Should be ready soon IA. The plus side is that the property has not lost it's value since the crash. In fact it has gone up!

There was just one problem. Though prices rose by as much as 400% during the boom years, few people wanted the finished properties they had purchased — usually off plan, and often well before the first spadeful of earth had been turned. The market was driven by speculators, interested only in trading — or "flipping" — incomplete units, which often sold for more than completed buildings, and might get flipped 10 times before construction finished. The bubble burst is actually a blessing in disguise for those who wish to buy to let out or move in. The speculators are gone, the prices have dropped dramatically and if you still have a job with a decent wage and can get a mortgage you're laughing The relevant property laws are lacking but things are moving quickly now because of the crisis. Feel sorry for those who have bought from dodgy developers or on projects that have not got off the ground yet. Dabshid, welcome back.

News just coming in,,,,, Ethiopia denies troops crossed into Somalia 3 hours ago ADDIS ABABA (AFP) — Ethiopia on Tuesday denied its troops had crossed into neighbouring Somalia where Islamist rebels have launched an offensive against the government. "No Ethiopian troops have entered Somalia. There is no change in the situation," state minister for communications Ermias Legesse told AFP. Witnesses said they saw Ethiopian soldiers in dozens of armoured vehicles in Kalabeyrka village, near Beledweyne, a town some 300 kilometres (186 miles) north of the capital Mogadishu.

The other issue is that the Khat comes to Hargeisa before it goes to Burao. So it is usually fresh comparing to that of Burao. It is quite the same when someone is coming from Wajaale (SL/Ethiopia border), they take Khat for Hargeisa peeps .... Muqayil waaxid

^Good question. JB, found out who the owners are. If the internal flight happen then many people will travel straight to Berbera rather than Djibouti.

Sermon tells fathers not to hinder daughters who want careers ABU DHABI // Parents should encourage their daughters to go out to work and “engage with what life demands”, worshippers were told in yesterday’s sermon. It said women were needed today more than ever to help build the nation and should have the support of their families to contribute to society. The government-issued sermon came after a fatwa was issued last week saying fathers had no right to prevent their daughters from seeking education or work outside the home, given certain conditions. “Know that a woman today is called upon more than at any time in the past to compete with men toward doing good, and getting involved in building society with all her energy and qualifications,” the sermon said. The sermon spelt out the usual requirements for a woman wanting a job, such as not having to compromise her modesty, integrity and honour, but reminded Muslims of the extent to which the country was promoting opportunities for women. “Society is investing a great deal in educating women and grooming them and opening doors of opportunity for them. “Indeed, there are many venues where only a woman can venture, so it is no wonder then that she should be quick to embrace her responsibilities and duties to contribute to her country and society. “This is the model that the world today thrives on. So should a woman in our society sit idle? No. And her parents must encourage and push her to carry forth her duties and engage with what life demands of her. “Let us all work together, men and women with God’s blessings, to build our nation, and strive toward advancement and refinement.” Last week, Dr Ali Jumaa, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, issued a fatwa saying young women should be free to take jobs and pursue higher education, even if their male guardians objected. The declaration, published by the General Authority for Religious Affairs and Endowments (AWQAF), said a daughter could override parental objections when taking a job or going to university if it was in her best interests to do so. The 10-page fatwa is the first result of a collaboration between the UAE and the Grand Mufti on religious matters. A similar fatwa was issued earlier this year by AWQAF in response to a woman’s enquiry through its website. She said she had graduated as a medical doctor, and was surprised to learn that her father was against the idea of her working. “His excuse is that we are blessed with plenty, and we’re in no need for a salary. But I still want to work as a service for society. Can I work without my family’s permission?” she asked. The mufti replied that in a case where a woman’s career would clearly benefit society, as with medicine, then she could work without the consent of her male guardian. http://www.thenation al.ae/article/200905 16/NATIONAL/70515982 2
