 It is right behind the Student Center , Education City  at lower level .
 There are some tracks to run and inviting green field . I would not call it park in Hungary . A sport field rather . And where the name Oxygen comes from ? I think during the hot season  there is some condensed drops of cold water sprayed at the edge of the track . This way it feels cooler . Education city is a district of universities in Qatar - it has nice overall atmosphere but it needs clearly more trees .

  The event took place in Rosário , a major port city in Argentina, 300 km up the Paraná River from  the  capital, Buenos Aires.

 The Mayor Monica Fein welcomed the distinguished visitor and expressed her  appreciation for the struggle of the young activist.  She  said in return : "I am very happy to be in Argentina and especially in Rosario, the city where Che Guevara was born, a hero for us."

Tawakkol Karman  is the first Yemeni, the first Arab woman, and the second Muslim woman to win a Nobel Prize and the second youngest Nobel Peace Laureate to date.
 She is a great inspiration for many people around the world. 

 Last month she visited Doha .

FNAC Qatar - Black Friday Sale Huge Success

The Black Friday offer of FNAC in the Doha Festival City attracted large crowds . There must have been some real deals . People complained in the social media about having to wait half an hour at the cashier .
I went to the Mall of Qatar  yesterday. I saw no crowds and no attractive offers there . Only expensive items and you were supposed to buy 2 or 3 of them to get one free . But no regrets . After watching this video  I am happy I did not go . I   feel very uncomfortable in crowds ,
Opening the gates at FNAC - watch this video - it is funny - some people could not wait five seconds until the gates are fully open . :)

  Been there - saw the  Nobel Peace Laureate  activist speaking with great enthusiasm  about her country . Love of freedom  , the man made tragedy .After the speech  came the interview . I loved how the AJ English reporter  asked embarrassing questions as well . Criticizing  a Nobel Peace Laureate  ! That is the real journalism .  Most of the speech was in Arabic . Most of the people needed the  headphones and device for the simultaneous interpretation .
   
 . There were a lots of Americans  -  I had the impression . Tawakkol Karman  hopes that the war will end within short time . Others were not so optimistic . Many thinks that the US media concern about the Yemen war is just a show before the elections .
Let's hope   they are wrong .

Jihad Akl Shiraz - A Violin Affair

Words from the musician : "The composed music: "Shiraz" and "Persian Violin Dance", which gained great success and were published in my last album under the name "Shiraz", had been produced and distributed by a music production company that didn't mention the name of the Iranian composer Mr Bijan Mortazavi who is the original composer and player of these two beautiful tracks as well as other international well known music tracks. It is very important to me to clarify this issue, in order to protect the full rights of the artist Mr Bijan Mortazavi and his audience and fans.
This is the reason why I posted this announcement on my main official page."
