DSF-2011 Opens-All about Dubai Shopping Festival
Posted on 22 January 2011 by admin
The 16th International Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) began Thursday night at the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Creek Park, Global Village and the Dubai Outlet Mall. Thousands of spectators gathered at all points to enjoy the spectacular opening ceremony including colorful firework displays. The Burj Khalifa and its premises witnessed the official opening ceremony with several VIPS while Dubai Creek Park, the venue for many festivities, remained crowded.
About Dubai Shopping Festival
Dubai Shopping Festival was launched in 1996 under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, to position Dubai as a leading tourist destination and to stimulate the economic and tourism sectors in the city. The concept was the first of its kind in the region and proved to be highly successful mainly due to the close cooperation between the government and the private sectors.
Dubai Shopping Festival is one of the international events organised annually by the Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment (formerly DSF Office). It has become a global attraction today and a distinguished landmark in the global festivals industry, offering the best in shopping, winning and family entertainment. The DSF theme of ‘One World, One Family, One Festival’ is a reflection of the event’s universal appeal and attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year.
Dubai Shopping Festival was initiated with two key objectives in mind: to promote Dubai as the ultimate global shopping and tourist destination by creating world class events and retail promotions, and to set the benchmark for events and festivals around the world.

Magna Carta and the England
Posted on 17 January 2011 by admin
The Magna Carla was a Charter of Rights granted to the Englishmen during 1215 AD by King John II. During the reign of King John II (1167-1216) the citizens of Britain were burdened with heavy taxes. As a treacherous and cruel king he curbed the privileges of nobles and clergymen. As a result the barons, clergy and the common people united and compelled King John to redress their grievances by signing the Great Charter known as the
Magna Carta. It was signed by King John II in June 1215 at Runnymede. The charter contained 63 clauses guaranteeing the freedom of the barons, the church and the commonman.
Under this charter the king himself was to act according to the law which curbed the king’s right to levy taxes arbitrarily. It ensured that the king would act with the sanction of the people’s representatives in the matters of administration be it the imposition of new taxes or punishing a wrong doer or imprisonment of any man. In other words, through this document the Law was made the highest authority in the land. The Magna Carta laid down the important principle that England should be governed by a definite law and not by the whims or will of a despotic ruler.
