In 1973, Dubai joined the other emirates to adopt a single, uniform currency: the UAE dirham.
Modern Dubai
Oil supply in Dubai is less than 1/20th as much as the emirate of Abu Dhabi, and oil money is now only a small part of the city's total money.
Dubai and its twin across the Dubai creek, Deira (independent at that time), became important ports of call for Western manufacturers.
Most of the new city's banking and financial centers were in this area.
Dubai kept its importance as a trade route through the 1970s and 1980s.
The city of Dubai has a free trade in gold and till the 1990s was the center of a "brisk smuggling trade" of gold ingots to India, where gold import was restricted.
Today, Dubai is an important place for tourists and port (Jebel Ali, built in the 1970s, has the biggest man-made harbour in the world), but also increasingly becoming a center for service industries such as IT and finance, with the new Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
Transport links are helped by its rapidly-expanding Emirates Airline, made by the government in 1985 and still state-owned.
The airline is based at Dubai International Airport and carries over 12 million passengers every year.
The government has set up industry-specific free zones throughout the city.
Dubai Internet City, now combined with Dubai Media City as part of TECOM (Dubai Technology, Electronic Commerce and Media Free Zone Authority) is one such enclave whose members include IT firms such as EMC Corporation, Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM, and media organisations such as MBC, CNN, Reuters, ARY and AP.
Dubai Marina is a master plan development by EMAAR which will be the worlds largest marina when complete.
Dubai Knowledge Village (KV) is an education and training hub is also set up to complement the Free Zone’s other two clusters, Dubai Internet city and Dubai Media City, by providing the facilities to train the clusters' future knowledge
Dubai had a property boom when they announced freehold property resulting in large capital investments.
With the global recession property prices have fallen dramatically.

Same-sex marriage is recognized in all of the United States.
As of May 2014, same-sex marriage was legal in 19 states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
It was also legal in Washington, D.C.. On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all states, because of the 14th Amendment.
The movement to give marriage rights and benefits to homosexual couples in the United States began in the 1970s.
It grew in United States politics around 1993 when the Supreme Court of Hawaii declared the prohibition in that state to be unconstitutional.
It was not until around the 21st century that public support for same-sex marriage began growing.
On May 9, 2012, Barack Obama was the first President to declare public support for the legalization of same-sex marriage.
On June 26, 2015 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional (see United States v. Windsor).
That section prevented the federal government from recognizing marriages other than marriages between one man and one woman.
It was created by Saab, a Swedish aerospace company, for use in the Swedish Air Force.
The decision for a new aircraft system was made by the Minister of Defence, Torsten Gustafsson.
It was approved by Parliament in 1982.
The Gripen is one of the first multi-role combat aircraft that can be used for fighter, attack and reconnaissance missions as well as switching between them during flight, hence the name of the JAS 39.
‘J’ stands for the initial of the Swedish language word for "Hunting", meaning attack against air targets, "attack" to attack ground and sea targets, and ‘S’ stands for the Swedish word for "reconnaissance", to take photos and films.
The name Gripen is the result of a contest held in the early 1980s, and means ‘griffin’.
The Gripen aircraft fighter system has for years been the backbone in the Swedish air force.
Recently the Swedish government decided to acquire the latest version of the system, Gripen E, and Saab signed an agreement with the Swedish Defence Material Administration about development and modification of Gripen E.
Sylvia Celeste Shoemaker (known as Sylvia Browne; October 19, 1936 – November 20, 2013) was an American writer and a self-acclaimed psychic.
Her predictions began around 1974.
She appears on talk shows.
She has had her own hour-long radio talk show.
In March 2011, Sylvia had a heart attack while in the Hawaiian Islands.
Browne has been the subject of frequent criticism for making psychic predictions that were later proven false.
These have included several predictions related to missing persons, most notably Shawn Hornbeck and Amanda Berry.
Browne was Jewish.
Browne made many wrong predictions.
She predicted that President Barack Obama would not be re-elected as President of the United States. (
In September, she made a different prediction that Obama would be re-elected.)
Obama won the presidential election in November with 51.06% of the national popular vote and 62% of the electoral college.
In May 2003, she told Larry King in an interview that she would die at the age of 88.
Browne died on November 20, 2013 in San Jose, California from heart failure with her husband and children by her side, aged 77.

Creatine is a combination of three non-essential amino acids.
These are methionine, arginine and glycine.
Creatine is used to produce adenosine triphosphate.
The short word for Adenosine triphosphate is ATP.
ATP is the energy of the human body.
Creatine is already in the body as a natural substance and in some food (for example beef).
The body changes creatine to phosphocreatine.
It is then stored as energy in the muscles.
The energy systems of the body are: aerobic, lactate and phosphocreatine.
Most of the creatine is used in the lactate system and the phosphocreatine system because these two systems need more energy the aerobic system.
They also take a part of the energy from the production or the absorption of creatine.
Effects on the human body
Creatine has two main effects: increase of muscles and increase the amount of protein synthesis.
The increase comes from the water retention of cells that store creatine.
For protein synthesis, it is not entirely known, but creatine can help with the recovery of muscle.
During the time a body recovers from training, the creatine gives extra energy so the cells of the muscle can speed up the protein absorption of the cells.
The creatine is used by all the human body because it travels by the blood stream.
The heart and the muscles are the main parts that use creatine cells.
Most of the creatine production will be stored in the skeletal muscle because these muscles need a lot of energy and they need it quickly.
The body produces about two grams of creatine per day.
Only 90 to 95 percent of the human creatine production will travel in the blood stream.
The five to ten percent that is not used is lost.
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a certification program for the design,  construction and operation of high performance green buildings since 2002.
This mark of excellence is known across the world and there are four levels of excellence.
There are 100 possible base points distributed across five major credit categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, plus an additional six points for Innovation in Design and an additional four points for Regional Priority.
Buildings can qualify for four levels of certification.
LEED is not a standard but an evaluation grid.
LEED is a way to think up and realise art projects in a durable way.
LEED only applies to buildings and not to products.
It is not a prize but a certification that is delivered by the CaGBC (Canada Green Building Consil).
They are the ones who will make sure that all the points are well applied and respected.
So, LEED is a grid that helps us obtain a maximum gain of money, health conditions and restrictions on earth pollution.
If there is a house to build in Canada, we must do the excavation and that earth is usually brought to a landfill.
But, if you want to stay within LEED standards, that earth must be left on the site.
Also, if you have to demolish a building, you must use and demonstrate that you recycled all materials in the construction.
Also, that you used the maximum quantity of material possible from the old building to the one being built.
Benefits and disadvantages
There are several benefits but there are also disadvantages.
The biggest disadvantage is the amount of money it takes to start a project.
At first, it may seem expensive.
If you look at it as a long term investment, though, a LEED project can save a good amount of money.
A 2008 white paper by the Leonardo Academy compared LEED-EB buildings to data from BOMA's Experience Exchange Report in 2007.
This showed that LEED-EB certified buildings had better operating cost savings, in 63% of the buildings surveyed.
It ranged from $4.94 to $15.59 per square foot of floor space, with an average valuation of $6.68 and a median valuation of $6.07.
Synchronized swimming is a sport that is practiced in the water.
It is a routine performed with music, like dancing.
This sport is demanding because it needs  cardio and muscular power.
It also requires a good capacity of location in three dimensions in the water while the athletes are performing.
Synchronized swimming became an Olympic sport in 1884, in Los Angeles, with solo and duo routines.
In Montreal, the first competition took place in 1924.
Also, in 2000, they included team routines at Sydney’s Olympics.
Synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics are the only sports exclusively practiced by women at the Olympics.
In Quebec, the provincial competitions are organised by Synchro Quebec.
There are three different events to accomplish at the competition.
First, the swimmer does a flexibility test that will count for 30% of the results.
Secondly, the swimmer presents two to four figures in front of judges, depending on the level.
Finally, all the athletes present their routine in front of the judges; there are solo, duo, combo and team routines.
Figure and routine will count for 70% of results.
In the USA there are many levels of competition including State, Regional, Zone, Age Group National, and US Junior and Senior Opens.
In each competition, athletes are judged on their level and age.
There are four levels that are determined by skill level: novice (beginners), intermediate, age group (advanced), and masters (over the age of 20).
Within these levels, are groups according to age: 8 and under, 9-10, 11-12, 13-15, 16-17, and 18-19.
During a competition, there can be two to three events to accomplish.
During the figure test, a swimmer needs to perform four figures that vary from competition to competition and level to level in front of a panel of judges.
The four judges will each give a score from 1-10.
The scores from each panel are averaged and added up.
The results from the figure test are 50% of the team's final routine score.
The next event is routines, where the performer presents a routine to the judges.
There are four different types, solo (one swimmer), duet (two swimmers), trio (three swimmers) and team (four to eight swimmers).
Because the more people in a team routine, the harder it is to synchronize, a point will be added for each swimmer.
Each routine has a certain length and certain elements that need to be included according to age and skill level.
Occasionally, a large competition will have a flexibility test.
For each team member who passes the test, a point will be added to the routine's final score.
To practice synchronized swimming, athletes need a swimsuit for training, a black suit for the figure test and a routine suit for each routine competition that fits with the music.
For example, if an athlete is swimming a duet and a team routine, two different competition swimsuits will be needed.
Also, they will need goggles and bathing cap for trainings.
These are not allowed for routine competition, only for the figure test.
Only a white or black bathing cap can be worn at the figure test, because the objective is to not recognise athletes.
To keep hair up on their head during the routine competition, athletes make a bun that is held by bobby pins and edible gelatin.
Girls put on make-up that fits with their swimsuits.
Finally, it is important for synchronized swimming athletes to train.
Training can consolidate muscle endurance, cardio endurance and increase flexibility.
It allows a better performance during competitions.
Trainings are frequent and very demanding.
Swimmers need to be at their best in competition because only few points can determine the first and the second place.

Most of the characters are based on real persons.
The story takes place in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the Prohibition Era in the 1920s.
It is about the life of main character Nucky Thompson.
Thompson was a political figure and controlled a big part of Atlantic City during the 1920s and 1930s.
Nucky has one younger brother named Eli who is also the sheriff of the place.
During the first episode, alcohol is declared illegal so Nucky goes to bootlegging.
He sees profit and a big opportunity there.
He deals with corrupt politicians and mobsters from Chicago like Johnny Torrio (Al Capone mentor) and Arnold Rothstein most known for being a big gambler and New York kingpin.
He also took an apprentice, Jimmy Darmody a young hero of the First World War, because he sees the potential in him.
Nucky will have to deal with Nelson Kasper Van Alden a prohibition agent who watches his every move.

Computer networks route data packets between a source and a destination.
In most cases, the source of a packet is not directly attached to the destination, the packet needs to travel through other stations in between the two.
Each time a packet travels through a router, or a gateway it takes one hop.
To prevent network congestion, the maximum number of hops a packet can take is limited.
With IPv4, this count is known as time to live, with IPv6 it is called hop count.
Each time the packet takes one hop, the count is decremented.
When it reaches zero, the packet is discarded if it has not reached its destination.

Mark Rothko (September 25, 1903 – February 25, 1970) was a Latvian-American modern artist.
He was born in a part of the Russian Empire that is now in Latvia, but lived in America for most of his life.
He committed suicide in New York City, at the age of 66, by taking an overdose of anti-depressants and slashing his arms with a razor.
His most famous work is known as abstract expressionism or color field painting.
In 2012, one of his works sold for $86.9 million.
Rothko's work
Rothko's work matured into rectangular fields of color and light.
However, between the  early period, and the later fields of color, was a long period of transition, marked by two important events in Rothko's life: the onset of World War II and his reading of Friedrich Nietzsche.
From October 1948, after the death of his mother, Rothko started using symmetrical rectangular blocks of two to three opposing or contrasting, yet complementary, colors.
Also, for the next seven years, Rothko painted in oil only on large canvases with vertical formats.
Very large-scale designs were used to overwhelm the viewer, or to make the viewer feel "enveloped within" the painting.
For some critics, the large size was an attempt to make up for a lack of substance.
In retaliation, Rothko stated:
"I realize that historically the function of painting large pictures is painting something very grandiose and pompous.
The reason I paint them, however . . .
is precisely because I want to be very intimate and human.
To paint a small picture is to place yourself outside your experience, to look upon an experience as a stereopticon view or with a reducing glass.
However you paint the larger picture, you are in it.
It isn’t something you command".
