		<description><![CDATA[The UAE has a very high population of expatriates, most of who left their countries to benefit from the financial prosperity of the Gulf region. Expats are a key support for the advancement of the UAE, which in return -thanks to its leaders- proved to be hospitable &#38; generous. But still [an expat is an expat], [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you mind if I say that everything you see, hear, or feel is IN your mind? Scientists say that the brain is the reflector of the outer world. It contains all the fascinating God-given &#8220;technology&#8221; needed to analyse what you see, hear, or feel, and accordingly you use your brain again to react consciously (jumping [...]]]></description>

He inserted 50 cents into the machine, but he couldn&#8217;t dial the number. No tone. He inserted another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to eat everything, and I still do. But few months earlier I started -seriously- following a different diet approach. Last Ramadan, I took a decision to tighten my hands around my stomach&#8217;s neck. Since then, I lost around 6 kilos. It seems like I&#8217;m sticking to my new eating habit forever. The idea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you think I still trust you? Your words won&#8217;t heal my wounds, Nor will a glance from you stir my emotions. Days were passing, I was suffering; You ignored my feeling. Every time it happened, It made me lose my patience, And give up hope in your love. These are the opening verses of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a shame. Civilians have been killed in chunks throughout the past decades particularly in Lebanon and Palestine, including around a 1000 civilian in Gaza alone last year [wikipedia]. The same has taken place before in Lebanon in Sabra &#38; Shatila, Qana I, and Qana II massacres. So until when the world will stand still, [...]]]></description>

As I walked by the promenade, I met many people who were very pleased to be subjects for my new Sigma 70-200 f2.8 lens.

This is why it is important to learn about the cultural/religious habits of people in different places in the world, especially if you live in a place where different communities share it together.

		<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of the 20th century, smoking was still a taboo in USA, especially among women. Few years later it wasn’t anymore. So what happened? 1- Cigarettes were introduced through media as the symbol of freedom and independence. 2- Thus manipulating the unconscious of the crowds. 3- Unconscious drives behaviour. 4- More back up by manipulating [...]]]></description>
