			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Im dissapointed with the paris airshow, i cant belive that the Dubai 2009 one is much more exciting than the Paris one. Ive been to the Dubai air show in 2009. I thought that the Paris air show will be amazing and offers much more than the Dubai one, on the contrary the Paris air show is dull with boring planes and the air show sucked. You cant even enter one plane to see inside it, where in Dubai i even sat in cockpits and tested the electronics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I like visiting Sabhan area, I still can’t figure out why I like factories. Maybe it’s the school trips I had when I was young.</p>
<p>I will be visiting some factories in the Sabhan area to give you guys an inside views and knowledge about running factories in Kuwait. What is means to run a factory, and how the operations is handled, See the products that we take for granted each day in Coops and how they get manufactured. I even saw factories that get back the wastage of byproducts and make them into new products.</p>
<p>Some Kuwaiti companies are getting raw material from Saudi and locally to produce products, some products are then shipped abroad again and some are pushed to Coops.</p>
<p>The first will be a Plastic Factory, and they have a wide range of products they sell.</p>
<p>Cake &amp; bake is on the list too, just waiting for there approvals to go in and get the inside scoop on making these cakes and how many KG they require from sugar and other materials.</p>
<p><a href="http://io81.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/cand-bake.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1388" title="cand bake" src="http://io81.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/cand-bake-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>

=====================================================<br />
I used to buy Turkey Breast from Sultan Center &#8220;Ashwa 3adat salema&#8221; and now after showing the names of companies that are selling rotten food in our country I feel safer to buy from them again because everybody know that Sultan center involved with rotten food so sultan will do the best to go back to the right track to gain customers trust again that&#8217;s why in my opinion they wont take the risk and continue selling rotten food bel 3araby &#8220;el motaham ra7 eysawy kel el ashya ely etwakher asabe3 el etehaam 3ana&#8221; . Now the story is Turkey Breast price increased 22% in one week !! is it because now its fresh and good? ha 3amo sultan??:P hehe well if you buy the same food every month or week you will notice the price and I think 22% is not a small tiny profit . &#8220;Yasqo6 Al 7etaan&#8221;  </p>
<p>About Rotten food I always wonder how come KFC &#8220;Sero lazeez&#8221; didn&#8217;t close yet ?! ma a3aref a7ad ma tesamam mena!! KFC is the meaning of Rotten food/oil/kitchen then why KFC still surviving ?! one of my friends said that KFC profits exceed other fast food chains here In Kuwait such as burger King And McDonald&#8217;s!! &#8220;this Information from some one work in the same field&#8221; he told me they actually making profits from the expat they always make special offers specially in the gulf road branch &#8220;sheghel ghada&#8217;a 7ata el eshba3 o feraaakh fa eyhasteron&#8221; J/K kelesh wala our Egyptian brothers <img src='http://io81.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . I&#8217;ve got another information but I&#8217;m not sure about it  that expat get special discount price in unofficial way. Now I wont ask again why KFC didn&#8217;t close yet! ser el khal6a 6ela3 bel 3arag ely ey6ee7 3ala el bo6a6 :r </p>

<p>===================================================================================</p>
<p>TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started  out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three  worlds: <strong> Technology, Entertainment, Design.</strong> Since then  its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences &#8212;  the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the  TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer &#8212; TED includes the  award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open  TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual  TED Prize.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ted.com/">TED</a></p>
<p><a href="http://io81.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Picture-20.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1117" src="http://io81.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Picture-20-300x89.png" alt="" width="300" height="89" /></a></p>
<p>================================================================================</p>
<p>About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a  program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to  share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live  speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small  group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x =  independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general  guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are  self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)</p>

<p>================================================================================</p>
<p>New Application made by Meshary Al Jeran for Iphone and Ipod touch , This Application made to  serve the citizens and residents in the State of Kuwait so that they  can find out what documents are required to make government transactions &#8220;that more actively traded in our country&#8221; . All the mentioned documents taken from the official websites of the ministries and governmental bodies in kuwait .</p>
<p>It might be more useful if he used arabic + english language he might also add other foreign languages and about the App. it must be updated from time to time and I hope to add more requirements for other government transactions in different sectors, Finally it will be more helpful if he made a website because not all people have Iphone or Ipod wela e3yal el BlackBerry wel nokia malhom rab? J/K :] there must be a website for others who are not Apple users .</p>
<p>Thank you Meshari and keep it up .</p>

<p>Will it grow to become a stand alone ‘market watch’ type of non-profit NGO? Not sure…</p>
<p>Will it really provide real un-bias feedback that this market needs? Not sure…</p>
<p>I’m not exactly sure consumers here are at that stage, the opportunity cost of price, value &amp; service comparisons is still unrealized.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pinkberry finally opened in Marina mall, to be honest i hate being proud of consuming (you should see my Communist side:P) so much but i really like Pinkberry. When even visiting the US and the UK and i have tried many there, nothing compares to Pinkberry, its this tangy feeling in the yogurt that i like, i even go for the plain one. Anyways it opened in Marina, i hate the Avenues but Marina Mall is quite less congested than Avenues so that&#8217;s a plus. No more these long lines atleast:)</p>
<p>It seems there is a war between Red Mango and Pinkberry check out the youtube post below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When leaving or coming to Kuwait airport by plane, you can get a glimpse of some numbers on the runway itself. They look like this 33L or 15R. These are numbers for pilots to recognize the runway but what is the basis of these numbers. After some research it shows that these numbers are based on science and not brain farts like everything else here:P</p>
<p>These numbers start from 1 to 36, reflecting a 360 degree circle, so when approaching Kuwait airport from the south heading north (usually a Dubai flight) you will encounter the southern part of Kuwait and the desert and will be landing on either runways 33R (right) and 33L (left) which represent the angle 330 degrees but this is not usually the case, it depends on the wind too.  These numbers are based on the magnetic north. So if a plane is approaching Kuwait from Iraq you would be landing on runways 15R or 15L  (150 degrees) its just the opposite of 33R and 33L.  So we don&#8217;t have 4 runways we have 2, but 4 ways to land.</p>
