Eva Longoria to visit Dubai for Bloomingdale's opening



DUBAI // Eva Longoria will be making her first trip to the Middle East on September 30.

The actress – most known for her character Gabrielle in the award-winning US television series Desperate Housewives – will take part in a meet-and-greet at Dubai Mall’s Bloomingdale’s on October 1.

“I am very excited to be in Dubai for the launch of Bloomingdales’ ‘New York New York’ campaign. Despite the short trip, I can't wait to celebrate with my fans in the Middle East! I am sure it is going to be an unforgettable experience,” said Longoria today.

Bloomingdale’s fall/winter 2011 campaign will begin on September 29 and continue until November 12.

Longoria is not alone in putting Dubai Mall on her agenda for October. Kim Kardashian, American reality show star, is slated to be in Dubai between October 13 and 15 to attend the opening of a Millions of Milkshakes branch in the mall with her mother, Kris Jenner, on October 14.

How to become a Boglehead

Bogleheads follow simple investing philosophies to build their wealth and live better lives. Just follow these steps.

•   Spend less than you earn and save the rest. You can do this by earning more, or being frugal. Better still, do both.

•   Invest early, invest often. It takes time to grow your wealth on the stock market. The sooner you begin, the better.

•   Choose the right level of risk. Don't gamble by investing in get-rich-quick schemes or high-risk plays. Don't play it too safe, either, by leaving long-term savings in cash.

•   Diversify. Do not keep all your eggs in one basket. Spread your money between different companies, sectors, markets and asset classes such as bonds and property.

•   Keep charges low. The biggest drag on investment performance is all the charges you pay to advisers and active fund managers.

•   Keep it simple. Complexity is your enemy. You can build a balanced, diversified portfolio with just a handful of ETFs.

•   Forget timing the market. Nobody knows where share prices will go next, so don't try to second-guess them.

•   Stick with it. Do not sell up in a market crash. Use the opportunity to invest more at the lower price.

Pakistanis at the ILT20

The new UAE league has been boosted this season by the arrival of five Pakistanis, who were not released to play last year.

Shaheen Afridi (Desert Vipers)
Set for at least four matches, having arrived from New Zealand where he captained Pakistan in a series loss.

Shadab Khan (Desert Vipers)
The leg-spin bowling allrounder missed the tour of New Zealand after injuring an ankle when stepping on a ball.

Azam Khan (Desert Vipers)
Powerhouse wicketkeeper played three games for Pakistan on tour in New Zealand. He was the first Pakistani recruited to the ILT20.

Mohammed Amir (Desert Vipers)
Has made himself unavailable for national duty, meaning he will be available for the entire ILT20 campaign.

Imad Wasim (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders)
The left-handed allrounder, 35, retired from international cricket in November and was subsequently recruited by the Knight Riders.
