...creatures who need to be protected. But the past few years have seen women's banks and investment companies proliferate across the Middle East. Arab women, increasingly well educated and common in the workplace, are seeking financial independence. In the Gulf, flush with wealth from the oil and gas boom, they are looking to invest in more sophisticated vehicles than the traditional stashes for women's assets: banks and property. The Kuwait Stock Exchange has a women's floor; during the Arab stock boom of 2006, women in Dubai lobbied for their own corner on the stock exchange, complete with...
...Over the past decade, economists have been divided about the great Indian boom. For one party, the Indian economy's amazing growth rates indicate that the country is a nascent superpower - an America in the making.

...agricultural strongholds as Manor, Texas, and Ames, Iowa. But the most recent venue, the distinctly nonrural borough of Manhattan, is not as incongruous as it seems. With its estimated 600 small-scale farms (which are often large-scale vegetable gardens), New York City is part of an urban agricultural boom in the U.S., where rising food and fuel prices are making city farming seem less and less outlandish. In July volunteers began transforming the front lawns of San Francisco's city hall into the first edible offerings on that site since 1943, when civilians across the country were encouraged...
...went back as a coach. And I?m getting excited about it. And he?s getting-I?m going to do this, I?m going to do that, I learned this, I?m going to change this. And I?m saying yeah, I?d do this. And boom, boom, boom...
