Picture of the Day
Jamon Iberico is the world’s most expensive ham. The meat, which is cured up to four years, comes from the rear leg of black iberian pig. It sells for $4500/leg
Immediately after weaning, the piglets are fattened on barley and maize for several weeks. The pigs are then allowed to roam in pasture and oak groves to feed naturally on grass, herbs, acorns, chestnuts, and roots, until the slaughtering time approaches. At that point, the diet may be strictly limited to olives, chestnuts or acorns for the best quality jamón ibérico, or may be a mix of acorns and commercial feed for lesser qualities.
Productive vs Busy
“Hey, how are you?”
“Busy.”
Ever had that conversation? Yeah, me too.
Some of us wear “busy” like a badge of honor, but this stems from misguided priorities. We think that being “busy” means we’re getting things done, living up to our potential, and on our way to success. This isn’t true. Your aim isn’t to be busy. Your aim is to be productive.

Why Do They Call Dubai A ‘Fake City’?
The critique comes from people who actually lived in Dubai, mostly due to the idea that Dubai doesn’t have the features that other cities have like community and culture.
Say you’re an Arabophile who wants to live in Dubai for a while to experience Emirati-Arab culture.

The Warrior Sees the Opportunity in the Challenge; The Coward Sees the Curse.
In life, there are those who solve problems and those who complain. They both face the same situation, but only one of them will discover a solution. Only one will embrace the challenge, while the other resigns to being a victim of the circumstances they both confront.
