How to Treat Heartburn without Drugs - Tips on Healthy Living
Posted on January 29, 2013
If you?re bothered by heartburn or occasional acid reflux, it?s far more effective and safe to make some lifestyle changes than to rely on medications?some of which don?t even work! Start with this to-do list from Are Your Prescriptions Killing You? by Armon B. Neel, Jr., PharmD, CGP and Bill Hogan.
- If you smoke, quit.
- If you?re overweight, shed some of your excess poundage.
- Avoid spicy, fatty, or fried foods, along with garlic, onions, citrus fruits, and any other foods that seem to trigger heartburn, such as tomato-based products.
- Avoid caffeine and chocolate.
- Avoid carbonated drinks and citrus juices.
- Limit your consumption of alcohol to no more than two ounces a day.
- Eat small meals.
- Eat more fiber.
- Consume nonfat or low-fat yogurt or cultured buttermilk throughout the day, every day, and always at bedtime.
- Chew sugar-free gum after meals. It increases peristalsis, the symmetrical contraction and relaxation of stomach muscles, and helps move acid through the gut.
- Don?t wear tight belts or clothing that?s tight around the waist.
- Don?t bend over or exercise immediately after eating.
- Eat at least three hours before your bedtime, and eat even earlier if you can.
- Elevate the head of your bed.
If these suggested changes seem too overwhelming, you may want to focus on the two interventions that studies show to be most effective: losing some weight and raising the head of your bed. If you still need relief, use one of the newer over-the-counter H2 blockers such as Zantac for relief?but only on an occasional basis and in a dose of no more than 75 milligrams a day.

Could Scottish, Catalan independence votes reshape Europe?
BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) - The separatist flag of Catalonia - with its yellow and red stripes, blue triangle and white star - was a rare sight on the streets of Barcelona a decade ago. Now, it is almost ubiquitous.
Two thousand km to the north in Scotland, the blue-and-white saltire has always been popular. But that flag too increasingly symbolizes something new, that after more than 400 years within the United Kingdom Scotland may be on the verge of demanding a divorce.
For all the focus on the risk of the euro zone falling apart, some suspect this decade may be better remembered as the time when two of Europe's most permanent states began to break apart.
Pro-independence parties in Scotland and Catalonia are preparing for referendums next year that they hope could see their regions secede for good - which some analysts suspect might encourage others in Europe to follow suit.
There are considerable differences between the two regions. Scotland has always been referred to as a separate "country" within the United Kingdom, while Catalonia's claims to self rule are rooted in the history of the Middle Ages.
Prime Minister David Cameron's government has agreed to co-operate with the autumn 2014 Scottish referendum, though it is campaigning vigorously against any split.
In contrast, Madrid has declared it will fight a Catalan referendum on constitutional grounds. The separatist parties that run the region are keen to push ahead anyway and match Scotland with a 2014 vote.
Some suspect the two campaigns will feed off each other in the months to come. Each cause is marshalling a similar range of emotional, practical and cold-blooded economic arguments as well as trading off widespread frustration with those in power in the traditional national capital.
Alfred Bosch, leader of the Republican Left, or ERC, bloc in Spanish parliament that has long lobbied for independence, said separatist politicians in Spain do keep an eye on what's happening in Scotland.
In both countries "there are the underlying emotional arguments for independence, then there are the more rational economic ones. What we are seeing is that they are coming together."
Polls vary, but at least one survey has suggested more than half of Catalonian voters would vote for a separate state if given the chance. That compares to figures of just over a third in Scotland - although those on both sides of the argument in that country say it is entirely possible numbers could change between now and the final vote.
Pro-independence activists in both countries are quick to stress they see themselves as part of a wider trend. The number of countries of the world has almost trebled since 1945 as African and Asian states broke free of colonial masters and with the fall of the Soviet Union creating a plethora of new nations across Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
In Brussels, Scottish and Catalan parties are already forging something of an alliance with Belgian Flemish parties.
"The global trend has been moving in this direction for some time," Fiona Hyslop, cabinet secretary for external affairs for the pro-independence Scottish government, told Reuters recently.
"Many countries which were not independent 20 years ago have gained their independence and are now full members of the European Union."
ECONOMIC CRISIS, ALIENATION
The modern contours of both Britain and Spain were drawn in the 15th and 16th centuries just as they began hundreds of years of imperial expansion that brought wealth and power.
Neither nation embarked on the kind of deliberate centrally coordinated efforts to build a national identity seen in newer nations such as Germany and Italy under Bismarck and Garibaldi respectively - or in France under Napoleon.
What may be giving fuel to the cause of separatism now is a growing sense of frustration and alienation from the powers-that-be in London, Madrid and many other capitals. The economic crisis, it seems, has made that even more pronounced.
"Whatever happens, these movements are going to have an impact. You're going to get more calls for devolution," said David Lea, Western Europe analyst at Control Risks.
"Part of it is obviously the crisis, but there are other factors as well: the rise of social media, much broader unhappiness with the status quo."
In Edinburgh, the rise of the Scottish National Party - now a majority government in the parliament - is seen more a result of their perceived administrative competence and a lack of enthusiasm for London-based parties than widespread pro-independence sentiment. The SNP hopes that is already changing as the referendum nears.
In Catalonia, one of the richest areas of Spain, there is widespread anger over what many see as too much money passing to the rest of the country. The Catalan independence movement has also proved increasingly effective at tapping into the wider sense of anger at government and big business produced by still-deepening economic woes.
"For me, it's something sentimental I got from my father," salesman Miquel Blas, 35, says of his attachment to the idea of Catalan independence. "But the real support for independence has come with the crisis."
Another Barcelona resident, real estate agent Maria Caralt, 40, says intertwining the two issues is unhealthy, however.
"People talk about independence and they talk about the crisis and they all get mixed together," she says. "But I still think independence is a good idea. It would be better and easier to manage a small country."
Not one of those who spoke to Reuters on the streets of Barcelona were enthusiastic about maintaining a unified state. Those who planned to vote against independence cited their cynicism about politicians in general and said they doubted that leaders of a separatist Catalonia would run it any better.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING
In London and Madrid, mainstream political parties opposed to independence are already beginning to work together to fight the pro-independence campaigns, though some analysts believe a coordinated effort could end up inflaming Catalan and Scottish opinion, instead.
The debate is being watched well beyond Europe. Far-flung states such as Russia and China with restive minority populations are concerned that the breakup of a major European state could fuel separatist feeling at home.
British and Scottish officials say they have already received queries from their U.S. counterparts on the issue and say Washington is noticeably lukewarm about the prospect that two key NATO allies might be about to radically change.
Fiona Hill, a former official at the U.S. National Intelligence Council and now head of the Europe program at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC., says London and Madrid don't seem to realize how important this is seen to be beyond their borders.
"We are talking about two of the oldest states in Europe," Hill said. "I had a senior Balkan official ask me if it was the end of the multi-ethnic state."
If the unexpected happens and Scotland and Catalonia do vote for independence, no-one knows what it would mean in practice.
While those pushing for independence in both say they would want to remain within the European Union, most experts believe the new countries would have to apply for membership, which Madrid and London might be tempted to block, perhaps cutting them off at least temporarily from employment in the EU.
It is also unclear how an independent Scotland could continue to use sterling or Catalonia the euro, although in principle there would be no way for Britain or Spain to stop them. National debt and natural resources, from water rights to Scotland's share of North Sea oil, would all have to be negotiated.
If Catalonia votes for independence but Madrid attempts to block it from splitting off, long-simmering resentment on a host of issues could spill out into violence on the streets.
So far, however, the biggest lesson from these independence movements appears to be a positive one: they have been relatively effective while remaining peaceful, compared to more violent separatists such as the IRA in Northern Ireland or ETA in Spain's Basque country.
"If that was the first lesson of this decade of the 21st century, I think that would be a beautiful thing," says Catalan separatist politician Bosch.

Adoption: Threats and divisions as Gove loses patience
We?ve known for some time now that as far as working with children in care are concerned, adoption is the government?s absolute priority. A series of announcements over the past 15 months or so have focused on different aspects of the process. Last week came the latest and potentially most radical, where failing authorities could be stripped of their powers, which would be handed to the voluntary or private sector. There?s ?150m purely for adoption, new resources but it?s not new money because it comes from cash previously earmarked for early intervention. Michael Gove just got serious.
The new money for adoption is ?150m previously earmarked for early intervention, an area where Surestart and other preventative initiatives that aim to keep families together have already been decimated. A few days before this announcement, Eric Pickles stated he wanted to cut resources available for troubled families. The agenda could not be more stark ? prevention and keeping families together is less important than adoption. With devastating irony, this most ideological of decisions uses money specifically set aside for evidence-based initiatives.
Politicians and practitioners agree that the shortage of adoptive carers has to be robustly addressed but surely not at the expense of other children in need. The government?s attempt to say that one sector in need is more important than another smacks of the way their divisive language around the welfare and employment debate tries to set working people against the unemployed, the rest against the ?shirkers and skivers?. Child care is a continuum, with support for keeping families together at one end and adoption at the other. They may appear to be poles apart but in fact they are part of the same whole, far more closely related than is convenient for the governement to acknowledge.
Evidence shows that large numbers of children come in and out of care. In foster care, for example, providers have noticed that the rise in placements due to the higher numbers of children coming into care has been accompanied by an increase in the number of short-term placments, where children then return home. It is easy to forget that the original intention of section 20 of the Children Act where children and young people can be accommodated with the agreement of their parents was designed to maintain the ties between children and their families rather than close the door, and that families could use accommodation as a service, a week or two?s respite while they sort out problems with the help of their social worker so that the child can return to where they belong, in a safe, caring home. The Act became law in 1991 but sounds like ancient history. I may as well be writing in Sanskrit for all the sense those last few sentences make in 2013.
On a personal level, as someone who has worked across the whole spectrum but more recently in fostering and adoption, I feel dirty, as if I?m using money that?s been pinched from a child?s piggy bank. This is how awful this low, underhand and cold-blooded financial conjuring makes me feel.
The decision encapsulates all that is wrong in that dark, dank place where politics meets planning for children?s services. These are themes I?ve written about before. Prevention leads to better services and saves money in the long run whether it?s children in care, health and safety or gritting the roads before forecast snow falls. Yet for the government, any government not just this one, there?s little reason to invest in the long-term because another administration will reap the benefit, be it another government or perish the thought, another lot of politicians from another party. Yet we will know the success of our work with children in care only when they are well into adulthood, and anyway, even then people change as they grow older.
Adotpion czar Martin Narey, now Sir Martin, said this week that if even half the children on the waiting list are adopted, that would produce huge savings. He?s right of course, and he?s right to say that children should not have to languish in care with only the hope of a family to hang on to. Where I fundamentally disagree is that one element of the continuum should be prioritised at the expense of another. The twin goals of long-term savings and better choices for children and families for children in need of help from the state could be achieved by investment in early intervention as well as in adoption, not instead of. Also, even if the adoption backlog were cleared, there are others coming through the system in greater numbers than ever before. They too will need placements and the resources to find them. Further, adoption is not the only route to permanence. Evidence demonstrates the value of long-term fostering for many children and for their carers who receive support throughout the placement. These placements cost money but the children are worth it.
I am delighted that the government has made the welfare of children in care a priority, the first to do so in recent memory. However, it?s hard to escape the conclusion that for this long-term, complex issue they are seeking a quick win, the headline and the soundbite that goes with it.
More irony: government proposals in the pipeline won?t grab the headlines but are far more interesting and relevent for me as a practitioner because they directly address many of the problems in the existing system. Most important is the review of the court process that maintains a steadfast focus on the needs of the child within a clear timetable and minimises drift. Support for adopters will increase, with a look at personal budgets so they can decide what their family needs and how to sort out any problems. The purpose of the new national Adoption Gateway is to make it easier for prospective adopters to find out more. Changes in the inter-agency fee place the voluntary sector on the same level as authorties, thus widening the pool of adopters. Finally, there will be more organised gatherings of prospective adopters and children, sometimes called adoption parties. This is a direct result of an evidence-based study by the British Association for Adoption and Fostering that was properly researched, funded by the voluntary sector and fully evaluated. Taken together, these initiatives will do nothing but good. I fully support them. Evidence not ideology.
Every now and again any system in any organisation needs a good kick up the backside but in my experience, threats are far less effective than committed, considered leadership that understands a problem and sets goals for change. The government has quickly tired of what it sees as intransigence in the sector. Last week we heard that councils who do not respond will find adoption services removed entirely from them and placed in the hands of the voluntary and private sector. The appearence of the private sector is noteworthy. This requires a legislative change as private companies are not able by law to become adoption agencies.
Once more we are seeing divisions rather than partnership. The voluntary sector wants to work alongside local authority partners. Legions of dedicated, able local authority social workers want to find more adopters, not to be excluded from the whole process. We have to work closely with communities to find more adopters, for example more black adopters, rather than becoming ever more distant. Change must be accomplished by working with the sector not against it.

Report: Japan plans world's first broadcast in ultra-HD TV in 2014
12 hrs.
TOKYO???The Japanese government is set to launch the world's first 4K TV broadcast in July 2014, roughly two years ahead of schedule, to help stir demand for ultra high-definition televisions, the Asahi newspaper reported on Sunday without citing sources.
The service will begin from communications satellites, followed by satellite broadcasting and ground digital broadcasting, the report said.
The 4K TVs, which boast four times the resolution of current high-definition TVs, are now on sale by Japanese makers including Sony, Panasonic and Sharp. Other manufacturers include South Korea's LG Electronics.
Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications had aimed to kick-start the 4K TV service in 2016. That has been brought forward to July 2014, when the final match of the 2014 football World Cup is set to take place in Brazil, the Asahi report said.
In Japan, the development of super high-definition 8K TVs is in progress, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications plans to launch the test 8K TV broadcast in 2016, two years ahead of schedule, it said.

Preparing for a Perfect Storm
?Barack Obama and John Boehner made nice for the inauguration, but more fights loom on the debt ceiling and fiscal cliff.Photo by Jonathan Ernst/Getty Images
The global economy this year will exhibit some similarities with the conditions that prevailed in 2012. No surprise there: We face another year in which global growth will average about 3 percent, but with a multispeed recovery?a subpar, below-trend annual rate of 1 percent in the advanced economies, and close-to-trend rates of 5 percent in emerging markets. But there will be some important differences as well.
Painful deleveraging?less spending and more saving to reduce debt and leverage?remains ongoing in most advanced economies, which implies slow economic growth. But fiscal austerity will envelop most advanced economies this year, rather than just the Eurozone periphery and the United Kingdom. Indeed, austerity is spreading to the core of the Eurozone, the United States, and other advanced economies (with the exception of Japan). Given synchronized fiscal retrenchment in most advanced economies, another year of mediocre growth could give way to outright contraction in some countries.
With growth anemic in most advanced economies, the rally in risky assets that began in the second half of 2012 has not been driven by improved fundamentals, but rather by fresh rounds of unconventional monetary policy. Most major advanced economies? central banks?the European Central Bank, the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Swiss National Bank?have engaged in some form of quantitative easing, and they are now likely to be joined by the Bank of Japan, which is being pushed toward more unconventional policies by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe?s new government.
Moreover, several risks lie ahead. First, America?s mini-deal on taxes has not steered it fully away from the fiscal cliff. Sooner or later, another ugly fight will take place on the debt ceiling, the delayed sequester of spending, and a congressional ?continuing spending resolution? (an agreement to allow the government to continue functioning in the absence of an appropriations law). Markets may become spooked by another fiscal cliffhanger. And even the current mini-deal implies a significant amount of drag?about 1.4 percent of GDP?on an economy that has grown at barely 2 percent over the last few quarters.
Second, while the ECB?s actions have reduced tail risks in the Eurozone?a Greek exit and/or loss of market access for Italy and Spain?the monetary union?s fundamental problems have not been resolved. Together with political uncertainty, they will re-emerge with full force in the second half of the year.
After all, stagnation and outright recession?exacerbated by front-loaded fiscal austerity, a strong euro, and an ongoing credit crunch?remain Europe?s norm. As a result, large stocks of private and public debt remain. Moreover, given aging populations and low productivity growth, potential output is likely to be eroded in the absence of more aggressive structural reforms to boost competitiveness, leaving the private sector no reason to finance chronic current-account deficits.
Third, China has had to rely on another round of monetary, fiscal, and credit stimulus to prop up an unbalanced and unsustainable growth model based on excessive exports and fixed investment, high saving, and low consumption. By the second half of the year, the investment bust in real estate, infrastructure, and industrial capacity will accelerate. And, because the country?s new leadership?which is conservative, gradualist, and consensus-driven?is unlikely to speed up implementation of reforms needed to increase household income and reduce precautionary saving, consumption as a share of GDP will not rise fast enough to compensate. So the risk of a hard landing will rise by the end of this year.
Fourth, many emerging markets?including the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), but also many others?are now experiencing decelerating growth. Their ?state capitalism??a large role for state-owned companies; an even larger role for state-owned banks; resource nationalism; import-substitution industrialization; and financial protectionism and controls on foreign direct investment?is the heart of the problem. Whether they will embrace reforms aimed at boosting the private sector?s role in economic growth remains to be seen.
Finally, serious geopolitical risks loom large. The entire greater Middle East?from the Maghreb to Afghanistan and Pakistan?is socially, economically, and politically unstable. Indeed, the Arab Spring is turning into an Arab Winter. While an outright military conflict between Israel and the U.S. on one side and Iran on the other side remains unlikely, it is clear that negotiations and sanctions will not induce Iran?s leaders to abandon efforts to develop nuclear weapons. With Israel refusing to accept a nuclear-armed Iran, and its patience wearing thin, the drums of actual war will beat harder. The fear premium in oil markets may significantly rise and increase oil prices by 20 percent, leading to negative growth effects in the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, India and all other advanced economies and emerging markets that are net oil importers.
While the chance of a perfect storm is low, any one of them alone would be enough to stall the global economy and tip it into recession. And while they may not all emerge in the most extreme way, each is or will be appearing in some form. As 2013 begins, the downside risks to the global economy are gathering force.

India: 35-year term not enough for Mumbai plotter
NEW DELHI (AP) ? India expressed disappointment Friday with the 35-year sentence given to an American who admitted his role in the 2008 Mumbai attack, saying he deserved more prison time for the terrorism that killed 166 people in the country's financial capital.
David Headley was sentenced Thursday in a U.S. federal court in Chicago. External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said he would have possibly received a "more serious and severe" sentence had he been tried in India.
"The 35-year sentence is a beginning. We will continue our efforts to ensure that he is extradited and brought to India for trial," Khurshid told reporters.
Headley, 52, was born in the U.S. to a Pakistani father and an American mother and changed his birth name from Daood Gilani. He admitted that he helped plan the attack and videotaped targets that were later attacked.
In the three-day rampage, 10 gunmen from a Pakistani-based militant group fanned out across Mumbai, attacking a crowded train station, a landmark hotel and a Jewish center, among other targets.
Headley was arrested in the U.S. in 2009 and entered into a plea bargain with U.S. investigators under which he provided information about terror networks.
The U.S. State Department on Friday defended the handling of the case, saying that from Washington's perspective, it was a "very positive example" of U.S.-Indian counterterrorism collaboration.
The department ruled out Headley's extradition.
"He's been tried, convicted, and will serve in the United States," spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

Aprilia Motorcycles based from Chevrolet Stingray Tuned by Vilner ...
For the next project, perhaps the Bulgarian design house, Vilner, will once again try to the world of motorcycles long with the full-modification of a new Aprilia Tuono that has been cleverly named as the Stingray.
Its styling transformation includes a range of modifications containing a brand new front fender, the revamped headlamps and also the turning signals along with the LED units, the new side spoilers along with two vents each, a re-sculptured tank and also the tinted rear lights.
Moreover, Vilner also has re-positioned the license plate holder, re-upholstered the seats, painted the part of the frame in black, extended the great rear fork and the driving chain by 150mm and also re-sprayed the wheels. To perfect the design, there is a performance upgrade which has been said to boast the new Aprilia?s output by ten percent.

Google adds ARM support to Chrome's Native Client
Google's Native Client endowed x86 machines with the ability to run apps compiled from C and C++ right inside Chrome in 2011, and now ARM devices are finally getting their time to shine. Mountain View's latest Native Client SDK adds support for ARM hardware, and tweaking existing Native Client apps to run on the architecture sounds pretty painless. According to Page and Co., developers just have to add a new file extension to their app, tweak a manifest file and get ahold of the fresh SDK. ARM support is reason enough for developers to celebrate, but Google says it's working on a next-gen Portable Native Client that'll let apps work regardless of architecture and without having to recompile, to boot. If you're ready to start coding, hit the source link for more details.

Starship Enterprise petition fizzles out
NASM
This model of the fictional Starship Enterprise was used in the weekly hourlong "Star Trek" TV series that aired September 1966 to June 1969. It is now on display in the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.
By Alan Boyle, Science Editor, NBC News
If the Death Star went up against the Starship Enterprise, who would win? When it comes to White House petition drives, it's the Death Star.
The petition calling on the federal government to build a fully operational "Star Wars" battle station attracted more than 34,000 signatures, forcing the White House to issue a hilarious response. But?a similar petition supporting a real-life version of Captain James T. Kirk's favorite ride?fell far short of the 25,000-signature requirement when the one-month deadline passed on Monday.
At last count, the Enterprise petition had 7,200 signatures, according to its creator, a Trek fan known publicly as BTE-Dan.?"I?m disappointed that it didn't reach 25,000, because I would have genuinely liked to have seen the Obama administration respond to it," Dan told NBC News in an email.?
Dan is the webmaster behind the "Build the Enterprise" website?? and he says he's serious about wanting NASA to do a feasibility study for an Enterprise-like spaceship.
"I really do think that building an interplanetary spaceship that follows the form of the USS Enterprise would be uniquely inspirational to Americans, and people around the world, too," he wrote. "Once its construction started in space, people would be fascinated by it, and it would constantly be in the news. And it might well inspire a new generation of Americans to study the STEM subjects [science, technology, engineering, math]."
Dan likes the basic idea behind the Obama administration's "We the People" program, which provides an opportunity for petitioners to get a response from the White House if enough people sign on.
"Unfortunately, having a short 30-day window to?gather signatures makes the petition system geared to getting high signature counts mainly for the most emotionally charged current events of the moment, like pro-gun control, or anti-gun control, or the desire of some to deport Piers Morgan," he said. "People are motivated by humor, too, like in the Piers Morgan case and for the Death Star petition, and there is nothing wrong with having some fun with the petitions. But I?d like to see the system changed so that more substantive petitions get considered."
Maybe the problem was that BTE-Dan's proposal was too substantive, especially for a concept that sounds like classic science fiction. The same issue might be working against another space-themed petition, calling on the federal government to build a nuclear thermal rocket. (NASA actually pursued a nuclear-rocket development program in the 1960s, and may do so again.) That campaign has attracted fewer than 2,300 of the required 25,000 signatures with 10 days to go before the deadline.
One thing's for sure: It'll be even harder for slightly wacky petitions like the Death Star plea, or an earlier effort to crack the alien conspiracy, to make their way into the spotlight in the future. That's because the White House raised the signature requirement from 25,000 to 100,000 last week. BTE-Dan's effort just might stand as the most ambitious effort to build a real-life Starship Enterprise until the year 2063 ? when eccentric genius?Zefram Cochrane?achieves the first warp drive flight and brings the Vulcans in for first contact.

Alan Robertson, Chief Executive Officer, JLL MENA, said: "With an increase of 65 per cent in the number of transactions in 2012, the Dubai real estate sector will continue to shift up a gear in 2013, experiencing a broader based recovery on the back of continued economic growth."
He added that Abu Dhabi remains 18 to 24 months behind Dubai with the market not expected to experience an upturn this year.
"The foundations are, however, being laid for a recovery from 2014, with a number of major infrastructure projects scheduled to start later this year."Total value of real estate transactions in Dubai crossed Dh143 billion in 2011. The Dubai Land Department is yet to officially announce 2012 figures.
Craig Plumb, Head of Research, JLL Mena, while announcing the consultancy's Top Trends for the UAE real estate market in 2013, said: "Price and rent recovery are likely to be more broader this year than 2012 when it was limited to few selected locations. We saw price growth in Dubai by 20 per cent in 2012... we will not see prices increasing 20 per cent this year, but overall rate of growth will be less than last year."Residential stock in close proximity to the Metro stations will see increase in prices and rents, Plumb added.
Plumb, however, said that the new regulation on housing allowances for government employees and a possible reverse migration to the capital due to rental growth in Dubai will have a positive impact on the market.
In September, the emirate's Secretariat General of the Executive Council said that Abu Dhabi government employees would be required to live inside the capital within a year.
The decision was made to ensure the safety of employees commuting long distances, often in bad weather conditions, the council said. As many as 19,564 people drive into Abu Dhabi in the morning hours.
Nearly 18,000 units will be completed in Dubai while Abu Dhabi will see completion of 16,000 units this year.
Free zones to gain
Prime office rents, primarily in Dubai International Financial Centre, Tecom and Downtown Dubai, with single ownership, will rise this year, Plumb disclosed, adding secondary locations will not see any such increases.
"Office rents have declined in Dubai since 2008, but we expect to see an increase in rents in selective properties in best locations this year. There will be some parts where there will be no increase largely because vacancy rates are as high as 60 to 70 in some office locations."
Abu Dhabi, he said, will continue see softening of rents due to limited demand from private sector. The market is more driven by government sector, who prefer to occupy their own buildings.
"... there will be more choice of good quality buildings in Abu Dhabi in 2013."
This year, however, will see more companies in the UAE adopting a better workplace strategy.
"Tenants will remain cautious. They will upgrade to better quality space or even consolidate to one building from different buildings as they seek better return from their real estate," believes Plumb.
New investors
According to Robertson, the real estate in both markets will benefit from increased economic activity between the UAE and East Asia, specifically China and South Korea, as well as sub Saharan Africa and Australia.
"We also look forward to the Expo 2020 announcement in November. Success will be a significant boost to the domestic real estate market, hence our continued support as an official bid supporter."
Indians, Britons, Iranians, Saudis and Pakistanis have been the largest investors in Dubai's real estate sector for the past few years.
The following are the seven top trends for the UAE Real Estate:
Return of confidence to the Dubai market: Factors such as the UAE's economic growth, increased employment, Dubai's safe haven status and improved price/rental performance have led to continued market confidence. With many real estate project announcements over the past six months, this increased market confidence has become more pronounced. The government is keen to create a more stable market environment as illustrated by the new mortgage caps from the UAE Central Bank.
Funding real estate development in 2013: Funding constraints will apply a natural brake on the pace of new development. Usual real estate financing routes such as off plan sales, IPO/bond issues or bank lending are already challenged. LTV ratio caps might also act as a deterrent as it will limit availability of mortgage finance to end users. In 2013, new development funding is likely to come from overseas cash purchasers and private money from other businesses.
Increased involvement from East Asia and the Global South: Increased real estate investment is expected from China and South Korea due to greater business cooperation with the UAE. Chinese involvement is particularly pronounced in the retail sector and is likely to continue in 2013 along with possible investments in the hotel and tourism sectors. There is also increasing interest from Sub Saharan Africa, particularly from oil rich countries like Angola and Nigeria
Increased choice as supply levels remain significant: Buyers and tenants will have a multitude of choices in some sectors in 2013, with significant levels of new supply acting as a constraint on the overall performance of the UAE real estate sector, possibly offsetting the positive impact of improved market sentiment.
Operational and financial management: In 2013, there will be greater awareness of the importance of both the operational and financial aspects of property management. Operational issues are getting increased attention due to various factors like health/safety considerations, demanding occupiers, stringent legislations and adoption of best practices. On the other hand, financial issues are also becoming increasingly important as more focus is given towards greater transparency of operating costs. Best value approaches are likely to be more widely applied, rather than lowest cost options.
Sustainability: With continued progress in 2012, sustainability is expected to move into even greater focus in 2013. With Masdar and Estidama regulations, Abu Dhabi will continue to take the lead. Most sustainability initiatives in 2013 are likely to be micro and small scale as there is a general reluctance among owners to accept green leases. Evidence from overseas suggests sustainability is unlikely to be fully embraced until either government regulations force change or there is shift in local market perceptions about the financial viability of green buildings.
Government initiatives: The government will remain a major player influencing the UAE real estate market in 2013. Initiatives such as the UAE Central Bank mortgage cap, approval of the Dubai Urban Planning Framework and consolidation of real estate players in Abu Dhabi will better regulate or tighten control on market conditions. While initiatives such as regulation on housing allowances for Abu Dhabi government employees, announcement of major government back projects and Dh330 billion stimulus package in Abu Dhabi will stimulate demand and market performance.

When someone introduces me to an ?idea person,? I automatically jump to the down-side conclusion that this person doesn?t do follow-up. Of course there are people who are great at getting things done, but haven?t had an original idea in their life. Great entrepreneurs, like Bill Gates, are great at both.
I was with IBM in the early PC days when Bill worked with us to provide PC DOS and other software. He was relentless in his focus on getting a project done, and he always assigned himself the toughest tasks. At the same time, he was always pushing the limits of our business relationship with new ideas.
That?s the bar you should aspire to. I can think of several related aspects of starting and running a business where follow-up, or lack of it, can make or break your startup. Here are a few:
Business networking. For entrepreneurs, effective networking is required to find investors, partners, and customers. It doesn?t work if you don?t follow up on networking opportunities, networking referrals, and ongoing networking relationships.
Investor negotiations. Serious investors expect founders to have their homework done before the first interaction ? documented executive summary, business plan, and financial model. They expect prompt formal follow-up to questions. Too many entrepreneurs try to talk their way through all of these.
Product development. For a great idea person, the product details keep changing for the better, but nothing ever gets finished. Lists of project milestones and technical issues are created, but nothing happens on time, because follow-up on issues is missing.
Time management. Some struggling entrepreneurs are totally event driven. They are too busy with the ?crisis of the moment? to focus on follow-ups that may save a major customer, close a partner deal, or solidify a process that isn?t working well.
Effective marketing. Guerrilla marketing preaches the importance of prospect follow-up if you even hope to succeed in business. If you collect business cards at a trade show, make sure all have follow-up within 72 hours, and at least three more times after that.
Customer retention. More customers are lost to apathy after the sale than poor service or quality. Many experts suggest it costs six times more to sell something to a new customer than to an existing customer. A numbing 68% of all business lost in America is lost due to lack of follow-up after the sale.
? Professional relationships. How many people do you know who have a thousand emails in their inbox, or just a few awaiting follow-up for over a week from people who matter? These procrastinations jeopardize your integrity and your relationships.
Everyone likes to be pursued, rather than the pursuer. There?s a reason that many people say that the fortune is in the follow up. When you follow up properly with people, your reputation will benefit, your business will benefit, and eventually your pocketbook will benefit as well.
As an aside, I would suggest that you should never aspire to be a manager or an executive if you don?t do follow-up. You won?t be happy, and you won?t do a good job, because that?s what they do most of the time. The idea time for most executives is in the shower, or during other non-work activities.
So which is the most important, the idea or the follow-up? If you intend to be a great entrepreneur, you need both. But I know some very good ones built on great follow-up with incremental improvements to existing products. On the other hand, a great idea without a business plan is a non-starter. ? Marty Zwilling

Scientist Seeks 'Adventurous Human Woman' For Neanderthal Baby
Dogs are more vicious then humans, but we humans completely dominate dogs. Cats are vicious bastards but the number of incidents of cats killing people are remarkably low (because cats are very good at hiding evidence no doubt).
Viciousness is NOT a survival trait unlike what a LOT of people believe. Darwin shocked people NOT by telling them they were descended from monkeys but by telling them nature was nasty and so were monkeys. BUT more recent research among monkeys has filmed evidence that for instance a male monkey that beats the old male leader and then goes to town on the females WILL be beaten up by ALL the females and then the old defeated male will be put back in power, with the help of some trusted lieutenants and an understanding he no longer has exclusive access to the females but still access. The defeated vicious monkey is all alone and will die from his wound without a group to protect him.
What monkey sires more children? The old wise leader who knows not to push his position? His lieutenants who can learn peacefully under a wise leader while fucking their brains out? Or the vicious monkey who had access for just a few days?
Genghis Khan is often called vicious but was he? His military approach was to kill the elite in a country and then treat the peasants pretty damned nicely. Gosh and who tells us he was a bad guy? Our elite... because they prefer to have their peasants kill each other off while they sit miles behind the front. That is how wars are supposed to be fought, destroy the body so you can strike a deal with the head. While GK killed the head and then was nice to the body.
French revolution is often said to be brutal. By the English... nobles who damn well knew that if the idea of a benevolent revolution and rule by the people was to spread, their necks would be next on the block.
Which ape is more successful, the Chimpanzee or the Bonobo (the make love not war ape)? Fact is strive costs a LOT of energy, the more relaxed you are, the more you can survive in hard times. There is a group of Baboons (typically a vicious monkey) that lives peacefully in gigantic groups because their environment is so poor in nutrition, they have to remain peaceful because fighting requires to much energy.
The thing to remember here is that there have been load of vicious cultures in human history. And they died out. Image if we acted like cats and each time we saw another cat, a half hour staredown was in order. How would we ever make even a small village work? Let alone metropolis with tens of millions of people living statistically in perfect peace with each other.
We are NOT a vicious monkey, are the industrious ant or the harmonious bee. Sure there are incidents but statistcally speaking all the murders in NY are insignificant compared to the total amount of human interaction going on. Netherlands Amsterdam, 1 mil people, 40 or so murders. A bee-hive, 44k a dozen murders (new queen killing other queens) and that is NOTHING to say of the killing off of elderly or sick bees, euthanisia is legal in Holland but it is not the "lets round up the oldies on Friday" that Fox news told you it was. It is Thursdays.
It has been proven that sleeping together with a loved one reduces stress, lowers heartbeat (slower is better as you only get so many beats per heart) and prolongs life in humans and chipmunks. Hell, indoor cats can be evil all they want but exceed 20 years in lifespan while their relatives on the street barely reach their teens. Viciousness doesn't pay of long term. oh, sometimes there are hickups but overal, the human race has grown ever more peaceful. And YES, long standing conflicts like the middle east or Afghanistan and Iraq PROOF this. The OLD way we saw all to recently in Ruwanda. It hasn't happened in a long time, not on that scale. Even the holocaust was different, Ruwanda was the people killing people. The germans have at least pretended (even if it is part a lie) that it was a small group that did the actual killing. The rest just stood by

Facebook Is Cutting Off Find Friends Data To ?Competing? Apps That Don?t Share Much Back, Starting With Voxer
Facebook is getting stingier about giving data to startups that don't share content back to it. Yesterday, Facebook told voice messaging startup Voxer it will cut off the app's access to Facebook's "Find Friends" data citing its policy on competing social networks. A Facebook spokesperson confirmed with me that it will enforce this on apps that use its data to bootstrap growth but don't contribute anything.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/eoAi9mV4_7s/

Cirque de Soleil plans staff meeting amid speculation up to 600 jobs could be cut
MONTREAL ? The world-renowned Cirque du Soleil will be meeting with staff on Wednesday amid reports that up to 600 people could be laid off.
Renee-Claude Menard, the Cirque?s senior director of public relations, said Tuesday she would not comment about layoff speculation until the staff meeting.
However, she confirmed the famed organization is conducting a major review of its operations in light of ?our recent production adjustments.?
?It is a completely normal adjustment for any type of company,? she said.
The Cirque still has 19 productions being presented worldwide and is currently working on a new show that will open in May in Las Vegas, Menard added. She said another touring production that will open in the spring of 2014 in Montreal is also in the works.
Four shows besides the 19 still on stage have closed recently. The organization?s website also lists a slate of international premieres in January.
Menard described the gathering on Wednesday as an annual meeting with employees ?where we will update them and keep them abreast of where we are at in our review,? she said.
The Cirque employs about 5,000 people worldwide, including 2,000 at its head office in Montreal.

Jerry McDougal, vice president of retail, retires from Apple
Apple's vice president of retail, Jerry McDougal, has left the company in order to spend more time with his family. McDougal previously reported to Ron Johnson, before Johnson left for JC Penny, and most recently, John Browett, before Browett was let go from the position. Gary Allen of InfoAppleStore reports:
There is no word about who will replace McDougal. Outside speculation on the Sr. VP position is focused on Bob Bridger, VP of Retail Real Estate and Development, and Steve Cano, VP of Retail. Both are long-time Apple retail employees.
Apple Retail is one of Apple's crown jewels, and the most direct, most customer facing part of their strategy to both delight with, and sell gobsmacking amounts of, their products. With Johnson gone, Browett a non-starter, and now McDougal leaving, Tim Cook faces the challenge of shoring up and securing the future of that key division.

Tech Report: Microsoft Missing At This Year?s CES In Vegas
A man navigates with Windows 8 on a Tablet on November 14, 2012 in Paris. (Fred Dufor/AFP/Getty Images)
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) ? This year?s Consumer Electronics Show was the first one without a keynote address by Microsoft. The software giant?s diminished presence at the Las Vegas trade show has many questioning how long an event dedicated to hardware can stay relevant.
I think it was unwise decision for Microsoft to pull out since they just launched Windows 8. They left it up to Intel and all the other manufacturers to promote their operating system, which needs a lot of promotion.
But one could argue that you don?t need a trade show like this anymore. Companies such as Apple have their own shows and conduct press conferences that gain plenty of attention. However, after having spent four days on the floor, I was actually pleasantly surprised at how useful this event was.

- KCBS Tech Report
Had I not been there, I probably would have found out about 4K TV anyway (I did already know about them), but being immersed in it gave me an idea of why I don?t think they?re ready for prime time. So, overall I think it?s a good idea to have trade shows like this; it?s not certain if individual companies come out ahead.
