First Rendez-Vous
Yann Tiersen…
What about next year ??
Yesterday Egyptian rolled back one hour at midnight to officially begin the winter time earlier than its usual timing ,why is that ??
Because Ramadan will start next week insh Allah on Monday , people do not to fast for too long , in Summer time the Maghrib prayer is about 8 PM CLT where as in Winter time it is about 6PM CLT !!
Well I think it is unethical ,because next Year will be in August and after it insh Allah it will be in July ,what will you do then ??? You will have to fast till 8 PM so it is not a big deal !! read more »

It’s been clear for a a few years now that Abu Dhabi has been seething with envy towards its oil-poor, commercial super-hub neighbor. Naturally, it wouldnt make too much sense to compete in the same niche. And so they’ve picked culture (no new news, really, though), a concept which, for some reason, i find hilarious.

If You Move To Saudi Arabia
I was sitting with the boys celebrating my Egyptian-ness (i.e. sitting around, drinking tea, smoking sheesha and being lazy) and we got to talking about friends living and working in Saudi Arabia or as I like to call it, “The Place Where Happiness Goes To Die”. (No apologies so dont ask.) Anyways we were chatting about how well they get paid to work for American and British companies in Jeddah and Riyadh. We looked at their pictures on facebook trying desperately to interpret the quality of life or lack thereof.

Can Corporate Culture Be a Competitive Advantage?
Introduction

This paper will review how the concept of corporate culture became popular, define corporate culture, show how it affects real-world organizations (both positively and negatively), and consider ways in which cultural change may be brought about.
