Ajman: The UAE ranks highest among Gulf countries — as well as and above Britain and Iceland — in the World Happiness Report, it was revealed during the Quality of Life conference in Ajman on Tuesday.
Out of 156 countries ranked, the UAE is 17 — the regional best — beating Saudi Arabia’s 26. A step below the UAE is Britain at 18 while Iceland ranks 20.
Denmark is the world’s happiest country while the least happy is Togo, a small West African state, the report suggests.
The conference, at Kempinski Hotel Ajman, was held a day ahead of the International Day of Happiness (March 20).

Happy HAPPINESS DAY to all of you!!
By gypsy gal on Wed, 20/03/2013 - 8:59amToday is International Happiness day!! Happiness is a choice..Excercise your Happiness..its your fundamental right!!

The day recognizes that happiness is a fundamental human goal, and calls upon countries to approach public policies in ways that improve the well being of all peoples.
By designating a special day for happiness, the UN aims to focus world attention on the idea that economic growth must be inclusive, equitable, and balanced, such that it promotes sustainable development, and alleviates poverty. Additionally the UN acknowledges that in order to attain global happiness, economic development must be accompanied by social and environmental well being.

Why the sudden glut of Qatar rumours?
By Doha Socialite on Tue, 19/03/2013 - 1:45pmQatar is famous for its vast oil reserves, winning the right to host the 2022 World Cup and being infuriatingly discreet about its investment plans – but it is suddenly attracting all sorts of attention.
Two weeks ago there was speculation that Qatar was about to make a bid for Arsenal, which was followed last week by a Financial Times piece about the emirate having a £10bn infrastructure fund to invest in the UK.
Then came reports in the Times that Qatar was about to launch the "Dream Football League", supposedly to challenge UEFA's Champions League, before the weekend's suggestions that the sovereign wealth fund was looking at bidding £8bn for our embattled retailer Marks & Spencer.
Why the sudden glut of Qatar rumours?

Qatar Mother's Day competition info
By Jovahi on Sun, 17/03/2013 - 8:12amThe magazine I write for (Ohlala! Qatar) is running a Mother's Day competition.
It's a nice idea and either you nominate your mum, or your kids, if they are old enough, can nominate you.
Just write 100-150 words on why you love your mum and why she is special (or get your kids to enter you) and you could win one of several fantastic prizes including a pro photoshoot for Mum and her family, a 5* dining experience at the Lagoon, a hot stone massage at Glow American Salon & Spa, a detox body wrap at eforea spa and more...
Entries can be sent to editorial/-a-t-/ohlala-magazine.com with the subject Ohlala! Qatar Mother's Day comp and your contact details. :)

Pope Francis has been selected
By Good old joe on Wed, 13/03/2013 - 10:51pmJorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina was elected in a surprise choice to be the new leader of the troubled Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, and said he would take the name Francis I.
Pope Francis, 76, appeared on the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica just over an hour after white smoke poured from a chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel to signal he had been chosen to lead the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics.
The choice of Bergoglio was announced by French cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran with the Latin words “Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum. Habemus Papam” (“I announce to you a great joy. We have a pope”

Energy of the future
By Good old joe on Tue, 12/03/2013 - 8:14pmIn a world first, Japan extracts 'fire ice' gas from seabed
Japan said on Tuesday it had successfully extracted methane hydrate, known as " fire ice", from its seabed, possibly unlocking many years' worth of gas for the resource-starved country.
In what they are claiming as a world first, a consortium is drilling for the hydrate, a fossil fuel that looks like ice but consists of very densely-packed methane surrounded by water molecules, one kilometre (3,300 feet) below sea level.
The solid white substance burns with a pale flame, leaving nothing but water. One cubic metre of it is estimated to contain many times the equivalent volume of methane in gas form.
