 | | More children reduce chances of divorce: QSAstudy |

Statistics Authority (QSA)
seems to convey. The study
report released recently by
the QSA shows that having
more children lowers the
likelihood of a marriage ending
in divorce.

| BACK in 2004 I met a pleasant
Republican called Burton
Kephart, who had lost his son
in Iraq and wanted to save my
soul. Opening his Bible at
Matthew and Romans, he told me I was
born a sinner but that, if I accepted
Jesus into my heart, I could be saved.
I asked what would happen if I didn´t.
"Eternal judgment," he said. "Hell."

MESS IN US |
| EVER since the current economic
crisis began, it has
seemed that five words sum
up the central principle of
US financial policy: Go easy
on the bankers.
This principle was on display during
the final months of the Bush
administration, when a huge lifeline
for the banks was made available
with few strings attached. It was
equally on display in the early
months of the Obama administration,
when President Barack Obama
reneged on his. |

| | SEARING HEAT HITS
BUSINESS AT SOUQ WAQIF |  RISING mercury and sapping
humidity during this period of the
season is nothing new in Doha.
It hardly matters, at least for
now, for those residents who are
travelling abroad or having
plans to skip the searing heat to
the cozy environs of Europe or
any hill station. But, it matters
for those either doing business
at Souq Waqif or for whom it
has been a favourite place to
enjoy Arab as well as inter-continental
delicacies with
flavoured shisha.
Souq Waqif, is a hot spot not
only for denizens but also for the
tourists visiting the city either
for business or sightseeing. But,
nowadays, the most traditional
market in Doha also wears a
deserted look, even during the
