“You're the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.” This episode we catch up with John McClane as he goes to pick his wife up from the airport at Christmas and well, you know the drill. With a slight decade breach we head to 1990 for Die Hard 2. It's a tough task to live up to the original and in this episode we see if it can be done. So, grab one of Al's Twinkies and join us as the countdown to Christmas begins. As always, thank you for listening. Please share with anyone who is a fan of these films and the 80's in general.

Send us a textBook a call with me www.alessandroderubertis.comGold prices in Dubai reached a record high on Wednesday, rising by Dh2.75 per gram. The 24K gold variant hit Dh322 per gram, surpassing the previous high of Dh319.5 set on Tuesday. Other gold variants—22K, 21K, and 18K—also reached all-time highs of Dh298.0, Dh288.5, and Dh247.25 per gram, respectively. The surge in gold prices is attributed to the U.S. Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cuts and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Analysts expect the rally to continue, driven by inflows to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), further rate cuts, and strong demand for gold from central banks in emerging economies. Geopolitical risks and investor preference for safe-haven assets are also contributing to the upward trend.Source: https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/markets/dubai-gold-prices-surpass-dh320-per-gram-hit-new-record-high

On this week's episode, we are joined by Potter film actor and director Rohan Gotobed! He joins Andrew, Eric, Laura, and Micah as they continue their Chapter-by-Chapter readthrough of Sorcerer's Stone, covering Chapters 7 and 8! Harry is sorted into Gryffindor House, and learns that Snape really hates him! Welcome to the show, film and theater actor Rohan Gotobed, who you might recognize from playing Young Sirius Black in DH2! Main Discussion #1: Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 7: The Sorting Hat 7-Word Summary: Students arrive into the Great Hall nervously Is the Sorting Ceremony too much pressure for First Years? Should there be something easier or a private ceremony? Why is the hat kept a secret from all students and possibly not even mentioned in Hogwarts, a History? We know Hermione checked... Americans struggle with British terms example 4,723, as McGonagall tells the students to 'smarten themselves up.' New Segment Alert: The hosts play "MAX That!" bringing an element from the chapter to life as a new Harry Potter streaming series Harry has a dream that the hosts find to be VERY illuminating. Was it right for Seamus' mom to keep her magical secret from his dad? Rohan pays tribute to all of Harry's peers who made it to the Sorting Ceremony but were never seen again... Main Discussion #2: Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 8: The Potions Master 7-Word Summary: Eagerly Harry begins classes with angry teacher What were our first impressions of McGonagall, Sprout, Flitwick and Snape? New Segment: Mini Origin, where we dive into the name Quirinus and Quirrell in an effort to understand him better. Snape speaks of potions very romantically, but is he overcompensating for the lost romance of Harry's mom? The ability to spot exactly where a potion went wrong is impressive, but Snape should not be teaching students. Harry seeks refuge at Hagrid's hut, and the hosts describe their in-school hideout locations. The hosts reveal their coveted 'Most Valuable Character/Chapter of the Week' award nominees. Next Week: it's our first Muggle Mailbag episode since starting our Chapter-By-Chapter!

As the UAE's property market continues its strong recovery from Covid-19 pandemic-induced headwinds, recent changes to the country's visa rules have opened up long-term real estate investment options for residents wanting to put down roots in the Emirates. While average property prices in Dubai rose by 10.9 per cent, year on year, last month, residents can now qualify for a 10-year golden visa if they buy a property for as little as Dh2 million ($544,588). Despite rising interest rates, the initiative is attracting both residents and high-net-worth individuals from around the world, with an average budget of about Dh3m, property experts say. But where should you buy and how do you apply for the golden visa once you have decided on a property? Host Felicity Glover is joined by Richard Waind, group managing director of Betterhomes, who discusses the UAE property market and how the golden visa is benefitting the long-term plans of UAE residents. Hosted by Felicity Glover Produced by Arthur Eddyson and Ayesha Khan
