They say that one man’s garbage can be another man’s treasure well here is an example. In Africa they have made an effort in recycle car tires and instead of burning or melting them a group of artists take the car tires from the dumps and turn them into footwear. Check out the video and let me know your thoughts about this creative move to save the environment and while at the same time put shoes on people’s feet. The selling price is US $11 a pair.

Etisalat disappoints thousands of its loyal customers with false advertising …
This is a classic example of when a BRAND over promises and under delivers … in today’s economy where options and choices are prevalent businesses, regardless of size, cannot neglect their customers loyalty.

The Living Rooms Video Games Cafe
One of the coolest places I visited today was the Living Rooms Video Games Cafe. A unique place catered to parents and youth who need somewhere to leave their kids or for teens to hangout at while visiting Dubai Festival City mall.
At the LRVGC youth can spend quality time playing video games on Xbox, Wii or play station. They can also play pool, board games or digital interactive sports like bowling, boxing, playing musical instruments and golf just to name a few of the games. There are no restrictions on food so you can bring your own from outside restaurants of fastfood joints as you please.
I thought the place was a great idea and I have to say now I know where I will be hanging out every time I visit the Dubai Festival City. Join the fun at the Living Rooms Video Games Cafe when you visit DFC, its worth every minute of play.

Cash Based Economy Saved the Middle East & Asia
China, The Awakened Dragon
One of the key factors in why the West has lost its global economic competitiveness in the 21st century is because it can no longer produce goods and services at prices consumers at all levels are ready to pay for. Thus, over the past two and a half decades China has carved out its competitive advantage by producing goods and offering services at unbeatable prices in every economic sector and industry we can think of and in doing so has penetrated world markets with a brand identity that Chinese goods are good, reliable and inexpensive.
From electronics to consumer goods, to home decor to cosmetics, to healthcare, and now to sending satellites into orbit, China has become the world’s industrial leader which simply put means that it is no longer economical to produce anything anywhere else but China.
Can the world play ball with this new reality and if so will this mean an end to the social safety net that has protected the Western workforce since world war 2 or will this new level of competition become so unbearable that it will start a trade war thus moving the West into an isolationist stance and away from principles of free market competition, the very principles it so fiercely defended when it was in the West’s best interest. Time will tell.
