INSIDESince its the holiday shopping sea-

son, you might be spending a lot of

time at the mall. Read on for some

things you might not know about

some of the most famous malls in the

world.

The Mall of America in Bloom-

ington, Minnesota is probably the

most famous shopping mall in the

United States and has the largest

enclosed area of any US mall. It

has much more inside than stores

and a food court; among other

attractions, the Mall of America

has an indoor amusement park

called Nickelodeon Universe

(formerly known as Camp

Snoopy), an aquarium, a wedding

chapel, and Lego Imagination

Center.

The Mall of America may be the

biggest mall in the United States,but it is far from the biggest in the

world. In fact, its not even in the

top ten. At over 12 million square

feetalmost five times the size of

the Mall of Americathe worlds

biggest mall is the Dubai Mall in

Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

(For more on the UAE, see page

four.) The Dubai Mall has about

1,200 stores, 120 cafes and restau-

rants, a SEGA theme park, Olym-

pic-sized ice skating rink, water-fall, atrium, aquarium, a 250-room

hotel, and a section that has a

football stadium-style retractable

roof.

Not all malls are for shopping.

Mall can also mean walkway.

The National Mall in Washington,DC is a national park that in-

cludes many of DCs most fa-

mous landmarks, such as the Lin-

coln Memorial, the Washington

Monument, and the United States

Capitol Building. It has been the

site of many rallies and protests,

the most notable of which was

probably in 1963 when Dr. Mar-

tin Luther King, Jr. gave his fa-

mous I Have a Dream speech

to a crowd of roughly 250,000.

In London, the Mall refers to

the road that runs from Bucking-

ham Palace to Trafalgar Square.

When foreign heads of state visit

the United Kingdom, they and

the British monarch (currently

Queen Elizabeth II) take a car-

riage up the Mall, which is deco-

rated with flags of both the

United Kingdom and the country

of the visiting head of state.

Another famous mall in London

is Pall Mall. The street runs paral-

lel to the Mall and gets its name

from the game pall mall, a 16 th

and 17th century forerunner of

croquet. Pall Mall is known as the

home of many gentlemens clubs.

It should be noted that the term

gentlemens club does not have

the same meaning in England as it

does in the United States; it liter-

ally refers to a building used by a

private association (club) of up-

per-class men (gentlemen).

Mall Jokes A man is shopping for some pants

and goes to the dressing room to try

on a pair. Just as he starts changing,

he hears a voice from the next stall.

Hi. Hows it going.

Uhh fine, I guess.

I hope youre not too busy to talk.

Actually, Id rather not talk now.

You want to go get a drink sometime?

No. Please leave me alone.

How about Friday night?

At this point the man bangs on the wall separating the two stalls and

yells, I said I dont want to talk to

you! Now let me change in peace!

Listen, Ill have to call you back. Some

lunatic is banging on the wall and

screaming.

An Amish family is visiting the big

city for the first time. At the mall, the

son sees a strange, small room with

sliding metal doors. Whats that,

Dad? he asks. The father, having

never seen an elevator before either,replies, I dont know, but if we

watch it for a bit, maybe we can

figure it out..

The two watch as an old lady pushes

a button and gets in the elevator. The

next time the doors open, the old

lady is gone and in her place is a

beautiful young woman.

Son, says the father, go get your

mother.

MATCH UP

A ruler in the United Arab Emirates is called an emir. Match thesehistorical titles (left) with their associated countries (right).

Dauphin Persia/Iran

Herzog Mongolia

Khan India

Maharaja Germany

Shah France

The United Arab Emirates (UAE)

is located on the southwestern

part of the Arabian Peninsula,

bordering Oman, Saudi Arabia,

and the Persian Gulf.

The UAE is made up of seven

states: Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai,

Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharja,

and Umm al-Quwain.

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the

UAE. The

UAEs largest

city is Dubai,

with a popu-

l a t ion o f

about 1.1

million.

Recently, the

UAE has had

a number of high-profile con-

struction projects, especially in

Dubai. In addition to numerous

skyscrapers, two completed pro-

jects include the Burj Al Arab

the worlds tallest hoteland the

Mall of the Emirates, which con-

tains the first indoor ski slope in

the Middle East.

A building project currently under

construction is The World, a

group of about 300 artificial is-

lands designed to form a world

map off the coast of Dubai.

As of 2005, the most recent year

for which statistics are available,

the United Nations calculated the

UAEs Human Development In-

dex (HDI) to be 0.868 on a scale

from 0 (worst) to 1 (best)39th

highest in the world. By compari-

son, the U.S. is ranked 12th with

an Human Development Index

of 0.951. The HDI takes into ac-

count such factors as life expec-

tancy, education, literacy, and

overall standards of living.

Part of the reason for the UAEs

relatively high standard of living

is its booming economy. Much of

the countrys revenue comesfrom oil, but in

recent decades

tourism has also

been a significant

part of the econ-

omy, especially

since the construc-

tion boom.

The UAE is

about 86,600 sq km (about 32,280

sq mi) in areaabout the size of

South Carolina.

Each of the states of the United

Arab Emirates is called an emirate

because it is ruled by a hereditary

ruler called an emir.

Together, the seven emirs make

up the Federal Supreme Council

(FSC). The FSC elects the presi-

dent and vice president. The

UAE also has a prime minister

and deputy prime minister, both

of whom are appointed by thepresident.

The UAEs Federal National

Councila legislative house simi-

lar to a congress or parliament

is comprised of 20 members ap-

pointed by the emirs and 20 who

are elected to two-year terms.

TRIVIA QUIZ

As any experienced computer user

knows, backing up files is important.

All it takes is one virus, hard drive

failure, accidental deletion, or natural

disaster (flood, fire, tornado, etc.) to

wipe out months of hard work or

years of digital family photos. Not

everyone backs up their files as often

as they should, however, due largely

to the inconvenience; you have to

remember to make backups, feed in a

discor severalor buy an external

hard drive for a couple hundred dol-

lars and then wait for everything to

backup. If backing up to CDs, DVDs,

or an external hard drive, you then

have to store the backup somewhere

where you can find it and where it

wont get damaged along with your

computer in the case of a disaster. Analternative is to use an online backup

service. Thats where Mozy comes in.

Mozy is available in two versions for

home users, a free one with limited

storage and a plan with unlimited

storage for $4.95 per month. Mozy

also offers business plans for compa-

nies. For this review, the focus will be

on the free home version, which is

adequate for many users and is a good

way to test Mozy before committing

any money to it.

The free plan comes with 2 gigabytesof storage space to startenough for

roughly two hours of high-quality

video, 500 songs, 1,750 photos, or

65,000 pages of Microsoft Word files.

If you refer friends to Mozy and they

sign up for the service, you and the

referred person each get an additional

256 megabytes (one-quarter of a giga-

byte)sometimes more during occa-

sional, limited promotional periods.

All that storage is no good to you if

you cant figure out how to use it.

Fortunately, Mozys desktop software

is very easy to usemuch more so

than any other backup service this

reviewer has tried. You just tell the

software which folders and/or typesof files to back up, and it will take

care of the rest. The software can be

set up to make backups when the

computer has been idle for a certain

number of minuteskicking into ac-

tion when you are away, similar to the

way screensavers door scheduled to

run only at a certain time. The files

are copied to Mozys servers, which

means that they will be safe from any

disasters that befall your own com-

puter. Backing up files takes some

system resources, but the amount can

be adjusted by simple sliders labeled

with easy-to-understand tradeoffs like

Faster Computer versus Quicker

Backups.

Overall, Mozy is highly recom-

mended. With the free version, you

have nothing to lose and the paid ver-

sion is significantly cheaper and easier

to use than many of its competitors.

Mozy is not a Gist Weekly advertiser and

did not pay for this review. This recommen-

dation is based solely on the editors experi-

ence with the service.

NONOGRAM

Place a number in each empty box

so that every row, column, and 9-

box square contains each of the

numbers from one to nine.

SUDOKU

By the Numbers: 2

Number Games

Difficulty:

Use logic to determine which boxes to

fill in and which to leave white. The

numbers below each column and next

to each row indicate unbroken sets of

filled-in boxes: i.e., 5 2 means that sets

of 5 and 2 black boxes appear in it, in

that order, with at least one white box in

between. Fill in a box only when you are

sure it must be black. You may want to

mark known white boxes with Xs or

dots.

Two is the smallest number that it

is possible to roll on a pair of

standard dice. Rolling two is

sometimes called snake eyes

because the single dot on each die

resembles a pair of eyes (see pic-

ture above). The odds of rolling

snake eyes are one in thirty-six.

In the United States, approxi-

mately 3.1% of births are twins.

Only about 8% of thoseor

about one in 400 births overall

are identical twins that come

from one fertilized egg that split;

the other 92% of twins are frater-

nal twins, who come from sepa-

rate eggs and are genetically no

more alike that any other siblings.

Two is the identification code

number of high-density polyethyl-

ene (HDPE), the kind of plastic

commonly used to make milk

jugs, soda and water bottles, andplastic bags. HDPE is one of the

most commonly recycled forms

of plastic.

Most people know that the first

person on the Moon was Neil

Armstrong. The second was Buzz

Aldrin. Buzz, by the way, has

been his legal name since 1988.

Before that, he was Edwin

Eugene Aldrin, Jr., and Buzz

was just a nickname.

The second President of the

United States was John Adams.

He was also the first Vice Presi-dent, so his wife Abigail Adams

was both the second First Lady

and the first Second Lady.

The Second Amendment to the

United States Constitution reads,

A well regulated mili-

tia being necessary to

the security of a free

State, the right of the

People to keep and

bear arms shall not be

infringed.

The second-highest mountain in

the world even has 2 in its

name: It is K2 in the Himalayas.

K2 is 8,611m (28,251 ft) high,

compared to Everests 8,850m

(29,035 ft).

Two is the smallest prime number

and the only one that is even

(since all other even numbers are

divisible by two).

Computers use a base two, or bi-

nary, number system. This means

that they use numbers with only

two different digits, 0 and 1.

A playing card with the number

two on it is often called a

deuce. The term comes from

the Latin duos meaningyou

guessed ittwo.
