Arab World Cup 2022

Qatar has earned the rights to host the FIFA World Cup 2022. For Qatar, the GCC and the Arab World this presents enormous opportunities. The 2006 Asian Games made a huge difference to the country and the region as a whole, and the 2022 FIFA World Cup is also expected to benefit the country and the region.

How Qatar did it:
Qatar has promised to spend $50bn on infrastructure upgrades and $4bn to build nine stadiums and renovate three others. As per the proposed plan, no stadium is expected to require more than one hour of commuting time.

The unique offering is that it has been proposed that solar power will be used for air-cooled stadiums, and to build modular stadia that would be later dismantled and donated to developing countries.

Qatar led in the 2022 ballot on each of the four rounds, obtaining 14 votes against 8to the US in the final round.

What it means for Qatar and the region?
The scale of such an achievement cannot be under estimated, the World Cup is the biggest sporting event globally with estimates of television audiences for the 2010 FIFA World Cup final exceeding 700mn.

Given the central location of Qatar, 82% of the world's time zones will be able to receive Qatar 2022 games live in prime time, with a potential match day peak audience of 3.2 billion viewers; this has the potential to create an enhanced rights value for FIFA.

Also, Middle East proximity to European and Asian markets is likely to enhance the commercial value of hospitality rights compared to South Africa 2010.

This provides Qatar with a unique opportunity to showcase itself and the Arab World effectively and to alleviate any doubts about the Arab World and to confirm the belief that the GCC is a fast-developing part of the world economy.

Qatar is a booming sporting, art, cultural and tourist destination and with the traction provided by this win, it has the potential to attract lots of visitors in spite of the weather conditions.

Perhaps one of the most significant expectations from this award is that it will get the world closer to the Middle East and create multi-cultural ties across the region with the world.

Qatar Economy - A snapshot:
Qatar's overall GDP growth has averaged 17% over the past decade.

Even during the recession in 2009 when most of the world economies retreated, Qatar -with the world's 3rd largest gas reserves and second largest GDP per capita - posted an overall real GDP growth of 8.6%, underpinned mainly by expansion in the production of liquefied gas (LNG) and condensates, and a relatively strong performance in the non-hydrocarbon sector.

Even in the near term, as per IMF estimates, the growth is likely to continue with Qatar's overall real GDP projected to grow by 16.0% in 2010 and 18.6% in 2011, which is among the highest in the world - driven mainly by large expansion in natural gas production and public investment expenditures.

The global turmoil and the Dubai debt crisis have had a limited impact on the banking system.

Preemptive equity injections and asset purchases by the authorities have helped to further improve the resilience of the Qatari economy.

How the economy will benefit - infrastructure, tourism, banking, real estate and construction?
The vision of HH the Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, and HH Sheikha Mozah Nasser al-Misnad has brought Qatar to a high prospective internationally and what the 2022 bid presents to the world is exceptional from all aspects.

Qatar can develop adequate infrastructure to accommodate the 2022 events, and these are going to benefit future generations and bidding for other events like the Olympics.

The massive renovation and new construction is likely to boost all sectors. Looking at numbers, a report by UBS Investment Research (from February 2010) estimated that preparation for the FIFA World Cup - which commenced four years ago - has added between 0.5% and 2.2% to South African GDP (depending on which infrastructure projects one considers); and overall had created in excess of 300,000 jobs since 2006 - a 2.7% contribution to employment figures.

UBS research also indicated that the three previous World Cup hosting-countries saw their GDP grow by 1.8% on average during the year of the tournament - although determining how much of the growth was associated with the tournament itself is very difficult to ascertain and likely falls well below this number.

Undoubtedly, Qatar needs to undertake massive development activity in order to deliver what they have proposed. However, most of this is in-line with the already articulated Qatar National Plan.

Also, Qatar's experience in successfully hosting the 2006 Doha Asian Games will help in the planning and implementation of the 2022 event.

The impact of Qatar winning its bid for the 2022 FIFA World Cup would be profound for the state, its people and the Arab World.

In addition to creating thousands of jobs across primary and ancillary industries, it will provide the acceleration for ideas that are at the moment just sketches and drawings but will give them the push to become realities.

Construction boom: To bring the facilities enhancement to fruition, construction activity in Qatar is expected to witness a significant surge. This will catalyze a lot of infrastructure projects that have been progressing slowly or waiting in the wings.

Commercial and semi-residential construction is likely to see the highest increase ahead of 2022 in order to meet the expected demand. Real estate prices are also likely to see movements in line with the venues with demand rising in certain areas more than others.

It is also inevitable that regional and international players will actively enter the Qatar market which is currently dominated by local and GCC operators.

Commercial tie-ups and innovative business sharing agreements are likely to emerge in what is currently considered a plain-vanilla market.

Facilities enhancement: A total of 12 state-of-the-art stadiums will be made available which includes the renovation and refurbishment of three existing stadiums.

In addition, the hospitality and real estate sectors are expected to see a significant boost.

Given the geographic advantages that Qatar has over South Africa, the number of tourists expected to visit the 2022 World Cup is likely to increase.

This implies a need for new hotels across class categories as well as serviced apartments and other short term residential options.

Additionally, it is also expected that the food and beverage industry will see a surge of investments ahead of the games.

Transportation infrastructure: A fully air-conditioned rapid mass transportation system is likely to be built to connect not only all venues but also public placed.

In addition to this, a second international airport is due to open in 2012 - a decade before the first match of the 2022 World Cup kicks off - with the capacity to handle 50m passengers a year.

Financing arrangements: In order to be able to meet all the above business demands, the banking sector is expected to play the most pivotal role.

The availability of liquidity in the system will be imperative and the banking sector is likely to see an increase in activity across its verticals.

Commercial and construction loans with innovative structures are a possibility since it is likely that most banks will want a bigger share of the pie of revenue which will be made available.

Another aspect of the financial market which could see an increase is the insurance segment and especially logistics related insurance and property insurance.

The banking sector is also likely to play a very important role in allowing international participation by proving funding to new entrants into the Qatar market.

Hosting the tournament is undoubtedly a source of pride and honor among the entire Arab World to show its capabilities in hosting major events and likely as a consequence the massive economic boom of the numerous new projects coming up will be unique to the region.

Worldfest Celebrating Morocco

WorldFest is the largest international Festival in North Texas. This year, with Morocco’s participation, WorldFest has set a new record by hosting close to 30,000 attendees, with many visitors coming from other countries.

The Moroccan Village was built on 10,000 square feet covered by 20 tents. It was a mix of tradition, authenticity and modern culture as 30+ Moroccan artisans and craftsmen created artifacts made of glass, wood, leather and bronze to build furniture, home textiles and other specialty goods. Witch's created the wow factor throughout the festival.

Visitors rested next to a mosaic fountain, enjoyed melodious sounds from Melhoun "Popular Moroccan Songs" Diva, Laila Lamrini, joined by the Moroccan Orchestra group “Renaissance” or from the Gnawa’s dynamic street performers “Ouled Bombara” who have represented Morocco in many festivals all over the world.

Caftan designer Kenza Nafy enchanted the crowed with her beautiful collections and creations presented at a fashion show.

Another highlight of the festival was the traditional Moroccan wedding. The lucky groom and bride (Moroccan Actress Amal Essagr) were carried by the Gnaoua group which performed the "Ammaria Dance" and perform other great acts that happen during a Moroccan wedding.

A Moroccan wedding could not be complete without serving the delicious healthy eating for life Moroccan food. There will be plenty of it, including Besteela, Tagine, Couscous, Harira, Moroccan sweets (Gazelle corns, Briwat, Shabbkia, and more), followed by a glass of hot Moroccan mint tea.

Presented by the Town of Addison and the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth, Worldfest was a two day “getaway” celebrating the world’s diverse heritage by providing a genuine global experience with international music and dance, exhibitions, an international market, ethnic foods, children’s activities and more. Besides Morocco, other countries were celebrated by WorldFest, like Turkey, Mexico, Bulgaria,..etc.

Bringing Morocco to WorldFest was a long journey but also a great accomplishment. An effort organized by Morocco’s “ House of Artisan- “Dar assani”, Mr. Ahmed Yanouri, a board member of World Affairs Council and Mr. Chaib Salih, President of the Moroccan North Texas Association and member of the World Affairs Council.

Dar-assani ‘s goal is to add other cities in the US next year such as Washington DC to share Morocco’s culture and heritage.

WordFest is now over, but the Moroccan Village will still be in Addison, TX until November 7th 2010, open daily 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Don't miss the Moroccan Village, I PROMISE it will be worth it.

Success Shortcuts for Women

You read that subject line right! This is an Article just for Women.

EveryOne has Women in his Life, who loved and take care of
and I can see how tough it's been for them. Women
have a lot of responsibility on them. They take on
more, more and, more until they're buried in frustration.
Instead of saying 'no' their self-esteem plummets.
So they quietly juggle their problems in isolation.

But that's all changing now with the The Summer Extravaganza For Women!


Dr. Ellie Drake has made a name for herself
as one of the most inspiring and dynamic people
supporting women.

She is the founder of one of the largest online social
networks for inspired and entrepreneurial women.

Ellie believes (and I agree with her) that women can
really change their own lives and even contribute
globally when they come together.

So, she is offering this Free Summer Extravaganza
where she will interview some of the most amazing
and successful women of today!

And check this out...

Ellie already has the support of leaders and
celebrities like Dr. Maya Angelou,Kathy Ireland,
Mariel Hemmingway, Susan Anton, and Lisa Nichols
of 'The Secret' fame. If people like this believe
in Ellie and her cause for women, don't you think
there's something to it? Yup, there definitely IS!

Here's some of what you'll discover when you attend
the Virtual Online Summer Extravaganza for free:

- How ONE SIMPLE SHIFT IN YOUR AWARENESS
produces astronomically more results in less time, with less
effort (you'll be astonished at how productive you are with
this devastatingly easy change);

- How the thoughts of successful WOMEN LEADERS
ARE DIFFERENT from the thoughts of average women
(and how those differences play out in all personal and
professional achievements);

- How to banish useless energy like GUILT, SHAME,
and REGRET from your brain so you can stop beating
yourself up (women in particular play out negative
emotions over and over in their heads, making them
feel horrible);

- How to buck the PROCRASTINATION PATTERN
any of us can slip into (you can't step up to being your
strongest self if you can't get stuff done);

- How to INSTANTLY shift your attitude to transform
your personal ability to lead and inspire (moods and
emotions don't have to control your destiny);

- How to easily break down and dissect the steps of
TRUE PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, and GLOBAL
FULFILLMENT (it's shockingly simple when it's laid
out for you);

- How to 'DETOX' areas of your life today so you
can realize your dreams and get out of your own way
(break the cycle of repeating habits that don't serve you
anymore);

- How to quickly discover your 'LIFE PURPOSE'
and put it into action

- How to easily uncover and OVERCOME BLIND
SPOTS that hold you back from being your most
magnificent self;

And, of course, much, much, more.

Get details here>>


All you need is an Internet connection and you're in!
The good news is you'll learn real life strategies for
*having it all* as a woman.

I almost forgot to mention the BEST PART. It's
completely F*R*E*E. I know it sounds crazy but Ellie
wants to reach as many women as possible so for a
limited time, this whole Extravaganza costs absolutely
NADA! No strings attached.

This is a powerful group of women who are hungry for
some solid information on how to have it all. It doesn't
have to be so HARD!

I wouldn't recommend this unless I knew how
much it could help you and other women. I hope you'll
check it out now. You've got nothing to lose!

Dirthy Diary

Each note has a story, an emotion
His moment of glory, his hesitations,
And you caress one to one
They sing our fingers, soft and warm
We feel the shiver
They make us happy
The music is so beautiful when we can listen
The music is an art, that of the "Muse Euterpe" in Greek mythology.
It is therefore both a creation (a work of art), representation, and also a mode of communication.

Earth Day 2010

What would you do if you feel Thirsty? you'd say i open the tap and full my cup with fresh water. That's right! but do you think that 1 day your drinking water will have a Sense of Taste of PISS, Your Vegetables purchased at Super Market will be irrigated with Wastewater and aloso your own Private pool filled with it. BEWARE OF CANNED BOXES!

In Casablanca 27% of Drinkable Water Resources come from the patches Phréathique (Sub Land) and if in the Near Future, these Natural Diapers become Wastewater Pipelines Refined Tankers! Imagine the consequences.

Several other solutions can be envisaged as:

1) The Establishment of Channels Routes to Irrigate Golf Courses, Ex: Los Angeles, USA.
2) The distribution of Wastewater Refined by tankers to fountains Fulfillment.
3) Prohibit Swimming pools Fulfillment except with the Sea Water and Redevelopment of the existing to Fishs Aqua.

I am pleadding to discuss in detail this "Phenomenal Idea" I do not know from any Fourth World is with a Specialist Independent in Health to Hold over the vote on this minor feature related to the Resource exploitation in Drinking Wastewater Refined.

For Information:

"The industrialized countries unblocked 100M Euros a Year by 2020 to help developing countries to:

1) Build a Model sustainable energy and low carbon.
2) Adapting to the impacts of climate change, Better manage risks associated with natural disasters, responding to humanitarian crises will become more recurrent, etc..
3) To Fight against deforestation and forest degradation account for 20% of global emissions of greenhouse gas emissions. "Coming from http://www.copenhague-2009.com/copenhague-2009

For many years, the Moroccan Amazigh community struggled for official recognition. Recently, a series of events, including an intense grassroots campaign by activists and several historic government decisions, have resulted in the “coming of age” of the Imazighen question. These developments, such as the establishment of the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, sweeping educational reforms, and the issuance of the Amazigh Manifesto, have had significant linguistic, artistic, and socio-political implications. In this event, Washington Moroccan Club, the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, and George Washington University have partnered to present a series of panels exploring these different aspects. Experts in Amazigh language and culture will shed light on the Imazighen question as it matures in this second decade of the 21st century.
