Resolved Question: Need help on finding a topic for a project!?
My project is supposed to be based on a news article about either a product or project launch.

For example: a builder announces a new housing development, the city launches a new plan for the waterfront, Apple introduces electronic movie sales for iPods, the LCBO launches a bottle return program.

It needs to be pretty detailed in having dates, costs, and time estimates, etc.

Does anyone have any ideas on some interesting new project or product launches that I could use? Thanks for the help!

Resolved Question: After global crise, when do you think Dubai development & constructions will come back again as the past days?
Dubai is one of the United Arab Emirates, a collection of oil-wealthy and modernizing kingdoms located on the Persian Gulf coast adjacent to Saudi Arabia and in the same geographical neighborhood as Iran and Iraq. Unlike traditional Arab Islamic states, Dubai allows the free consumption of alcohol and pork. Women walk the streets freely withotut protective coverings. The rapid rate of development and construction in Dubai has attracted worldwide attention since the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Unlike the other kingdoms in United Arab Emirates, only 6% of Dubai’s GDP comes from oil profits. To build a future for themselves, they are aggressively encouraging tourism and business ventures in their capital city, known as Dubai City or just simply Dubai. Going from being practically undeveloped during the 80s, Dubai is now jam-packed with skyscrapers.

Perhaps the most attention-grabbing development project is Burj Dubai, a skyscraper approaching 1km (3000 ft) in height which will be the tallest in the world when it is completed in 2009. Its architecture is modeled after that of a lotus flower. Not only will it be the tallest building in the world, but the tallest freestanding artificial structure of any kind.

The Dubai Waterfront, announced in 2005, will be 2½ times the size of Washington D.C. when it is completed. It will be largest waterfront and largest man-made development in the world, and house 400,000 people. The waterfront will feature a mix of canals and man-made islands.

Resolved Question: In Oblivion(Elder Scrolls IV),is it possible for thieves to rob your items in your own house?
I just bought a house in the Imperial City by the waterfront district. I have multiple weapons and pieces of armor that are worth 5000+ gold. They’re too heavy to carry so I want to store them in the treasure chest.

But am I at risk of these items being robbed by thieves?
