Mkt may hit 5400-5500 in worst case

The worst is not yet over to the indian stock market.............


There would certainly be quite a few bouts of volatility based on what is happening in Europe as I don’t think the Europe problem is solved. The risk appetite continues to not be very high given the fact that Ireland is just about to get solved. Then you have Portugal and you have a larger economy like Spain which is also in trouble. So the newsflow from Europe is likely to be quite bad.

Expressway opening shortly

By Kabeer Yousuf - MUSCAT —

The highly-expected iconic infrastructure of the Sultanate, the six-lane Muscat Expressway, is all set to be dedicated to the nation after an elongated work schedule of day in and day out, on November 24. The road will be opened in two phases, according to official sources. The first phase of the 54 km dual carriageway which is from the Inter- change 3 to IC 10 B Mainline along with the loops and ramps (wherever possible) will be dedicated to the Sultanate for public usage on the midnight of Wednesday, according to official sources at the Galfar Engineering Contracting Company.

Facilitating easy flow of traffic, the opening way to the landmark road, from Qurum to the IC 3, has already been in use much earlier. The second phase, the Al Falaj Street that connects the road with the Naseem roundabout in Barka will be opened on November 28, thus dedicating the whole project to the Sultanate. “We are privileged to be continuously becoming a part of the nation-building process,” says Dr P Mohammed Ali, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Galfar Engineering Contracting Company. Nevertheless, he shared some of his brush up with complexities during the years-long construction process, with the Observer, in a recent interview.

“During the long process of construction, we have faced three most convoluted engineering impediments on the Interchange 7 near American School, 10B Nizwa Interchange, and the Wadi al Khoudh and we have successfully overcome all these hassles and are all set to dedicate the road to the nation,” he added. Sultan bin Hamdoon O129035962270241180

al Harthy, Chairman of Muscat Municipality, in a recent speech termed the expressway as “a pyramid of Muscat, which will roll out many opportunities for the city in terms of business, infrastructure and culture”.

One of the additions on the expressway, the MSE (Mechanically Stabilised Earth Wall) has been adjudicated as the highest MSE in the world by the architecture world. "There are two large MSE's that we have made use of in the construction of the expressway," says Grant Gellatly, Project Director, Muscat Expressway Project, Galfar Engineering and Contracting SAOG. "One is at Kms 28 and the other is at Kms 30. One of them is 70 metres high and they are about 300 to 400 metres long," Grant explained.

Fear

What is Fear?
Emotions play an important part in our daily lives. Fear is one such emotion that is pre-programmed into all animals and people as an instinctual response to potential danger.
As for what is fear biologically speaking, when a person experiences fear, certain areas in their brain such as the amygdala and the hypothalamus are immediately activated and appear to control the first physical response to fear. Chemicals such as adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol are released into the blood stream causing certain physical reactions such as:
Rapid heart rate
Increased blood pressure
Tightening of muscles
Sharpened or redirected senses
Dilation of the pupils (to let in more light)
Increased sweating


..............so dnt fear?????????

Why Do People Get Married?

Why do people get married?
While some people are together for years and never feel a need to make their commitment to each other legal, many others elect to formally pledge their love and enter a binding partnership.
Reasons to get married ????????
Commitment
For many, marriage is appealing because of the commitment that a long partnership requires.

Religion
Many people marry because of their religion. While sexual intercourse before marriage is no longer uncommon, even among those who are religious, marriage before God adds sanctity to wedding vows that further can further solidify the commitment between the two spouses.

Children
Some marry in order to have children.

Companionship
Humans are social animals who need other people in their lives. While being alone from time to time can be nice, many people want the companionship that comes with marriage. People like to have solid friends in their lives.

Love
There is also, of course, love. The magic of love is the basis of a marriage.

This is why people get married ?????????
