March 08, 2011 Issue 160IN BAd TASTe?"What could be morenatural than fresh, freerangemother's milk in anice cream?” says VictoriaHiley, one of 15 women inthe UK who have willinglydonated milk to a specialistice-cream parlour thatmakes ice-cream frombreast milk.A New Boutique in Town!Lazain Boutique announced its grand opening in Qurum commercialarea. The boutique will be offering a fresh, chic venue for womento shop for trendy apparel and evening wear which nourishesfemininity with a sophisticated style. Taking a break from the typicalboutiques that offer products for a variety of tastes and fashiongenres, Lazain Boutique is designed to cater to the feminine side.The concoction, humourously called ‘Baby Gaga’, is available to the public at thefamous Icecreamists restaurant in London’s Convent Garden, and is a recipe thatboasts of natural breast milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest. Doesn’tsound too appetising? Well, Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor believes it is."Some people will hear about it and go, 'yuck' but actually it's pure, organic, freerangeand totally natural. I had a ‘Baby Gaga; just this morning and I feel great," hesaid. Priced at a steep 14 pounds ($23) this product is far from the ordinary, andcould possible something for the curious... very curious.Lazain is different, they specialise in evening wear and fashion topswhich are very different to what is already available in the market.The boutique is located in Ramis complex, ground floor, near Al-Wadi Centre, Qurum Commercial Area. Customer service can becontacted on 98877003.Tough Times for Global Airline IndustryThe International Air Transport Association (IATA) downgraded its airline industry outlookfor 2011 to $8.6 billion (3.311 billion rials) from the $9.1 billion (3.5 billion rials) it estimatedin December 2010. This is a 46 percent fall in net profits compared to the $16 billion(6.16 billion rials) (revised from $15.1 billion) earned by the industry in 2010. On expectedindustry revenues of $594 billion (228.75 billion rials), the $8.6 billion (3.311 billion rials)2011 profit equates to a net profit margin of 1.4 percent.“Political unrest in the Middle East has sent oil over $100 per barrel. That is significantlyhigher than the $84 per barrel that was the assumption in December. At the same time,the global economy is now forecast to grow by 3.1 percent this year—a full 0.5 percentagepoint better than predicted just three months ago. But stronger revenues will provide onlya partial offset to higher costs. Profits will be cut in half compared to last year and marginsare a pathetic 1.4 percent,” said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s Director General and CEO.Middle East carriers are expected to return a profit of $700 million (269.57 million rials).This is considerably better than the $400 million (154 million rials) previously forecast,but down from the $1.1 billion (420 million rials) profit that the region posted in 2010.Political instability in the region is expected to take its toll in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya whichcombined account for about 20 percent of the region’s international passenger traffic.This is balanced by the Gulf area which benefits from economic activity related to high oilprices and whose hubs continue to win long-haul market share. Load factors have alsoimproved significantly for these airlines, as new capacity is being added at a slower pacethan demand increases.17
