I don't know if anyone knows.  It is Europe's largest brick building.\n\nHere is some info:\n\nThe four great chimney stacks of Battersea Power Station, built in 1932, have become an indelible part of London’s skyline, terminating vistas along the Thames and commanding road and rail approaches to the city. The building’s celebrated exterior was the work of prominent architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, famous for his monumental creations such as the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral and the Bankside Power Station (now the Tate Modern). The Art Deco interiors by J. Theo Halliday, most notably the Control Room and Turbine Hall, are among the finest public works interiors of the era. More recently, Battersea Power Station has achieved international fame through exposure in popular culture, in particular as the cover shot of Pink Floyd’s celebrated 1977 album, Animals. The building has been abandoned since it was decommissioned in 1983, and the boiler house roof was removed during a brief period of redevelopment work in 1988, rendering the structure vulnerable to decay. Attempts by a second developer from 1993 to convert the building into a mixed use leisure center have so far proved unsuccessful. The building remains derelict with structural steelwork exposed and the possibility of corrosion jeopardizing the stability of the main structure. Recent newspaper reports suggest that the project has stalled, although the developer maintains that work will begin in 2005. The Battersea Power Station Community Group is campaigning for stabilization measures and staged rehabilitation work to commence as soon as possible, while the long-term future of the building is reconsidered.

Two Economists Look at Europe's Economic Slowdown\nEconomic growth and labor productivity have been slowing in Europe as workers take more leisure time. Two experts look at why.\n\nBy Leslie Evans\n\n\n\nFor thirty years Western Europe has consistently turned out a Gross Domestic Product 70% that of the United States. Why hasn't Europe caught up? And curiously, European hourly productivity is much higher than GDP figures would imply, at 90% or better of that of American workers. Why the gap, and why did labor productivity, Europe's best indicator, begin to slide after 1995? Two economists, one from Europe and one from the United States, probed the persistent thirty-year differences between living and earning patterns in Western Europe and the United States at a November 4 UCLA forum.\n\nGianni Toniolo of the University of Rome, who holds a joint appointment at Duke University, was joined by Barry Eichengreen of the University of California at Berkeley in the History Conference Room of UCLA's Bunche Hall for a discussion on "Europe in the Age of Globalization." The meeting was sponsored by the UCLA Center for European and Eurasian Studies and chaired by the center's director, historian Ivan Berend. Both speakers compared the United States to the EU-15, the original 15 Western European members of the European Union before the accession of 10 East and Central European states to the EU last May.\n\nGianni Toniolo: Europeans Place a Higher Value on Leisure\nGianni Toniolo began by lamenting the growing rift between America under the Bush presidency and the European Union. "The Atlantic has never been as wide as it is now, at least in my lifetime, which is postwar. And I am deeply concerned about that. I am deeply concerned about the cultural, political misunderstandings, the lack of understanding that seems to appear on the two sides of the Atlantic."\n\nA History of Economic Convergence -- Followed by Economic Divergences\nBack in 1820, Toniolo said, Western Europe and the United States had about the same per capita GDP. "By 1870 the Americans were ahead of Europe and the gap in GDP per capita continued to grow all the way until 1950." In 1870 Europe produced 82% of the U.S. per capita GDP. After the ravages of two world wars this fell to only 50% in 1950. But in the rebuilding and modernization of European industrial plant from the 1950s onward Europe took large strides toward closing the gap. By 1970 Western European per capita GDP reached 70% of the U.S. and has pretty much frozen there.\n\nBut this did not mean that European industry was as far behind as those numbers suggested, both economists agreed. Productivity, or output per hour worked, has come much closer to U.S. rates. Barry Eichengreen in his presentation reported that the EU-15 average GDP per hour worked in 2000 was 90.7% of the United States and four of the fifteen, Belgium, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, have higher labor productivity than the U.S.\n\nGianni Toniolo summarized some of the institutional arguments used by various economists to explain why the U.S. has remained ahead. These include a history of cheap land but expensive labor, which encouraged investment in labor-saving machinery; a more technically oriented educational system; and the unified American market compared to the multiple smaller states of Europe. Most of these U.S. advantages were strongly reduced after World War II, by the end of the American frontier, moves toward European economic unification, and common advances in technology.\n\nEuropeans Begin to Work Fewer Hours\n"The story, however, becomes interesting when we look at why, in spite of being so productive or equally productive as America we poor Europeans are 30% poorer that you Americans," he said. "And the answer is very simple. From the mid-seventies onward Europeans began to work fewer and fewer hours over the life cycle. There was less participation in the

Dubai\n\n\nAs one of the world's fastest-growing regions, construction cranes are an omnipresent sight on the horizon, making that buzz all too literal. But word-of-mouth about the potential for doing business here is equally strong, helping to make the 10th edition of the International Jewellery Dubai (IJD) show, which started Monday and concludes on Friday, Dec. 10, double in size over last year's event.\n\nThe show includes 454 exhibitors this year, up from 225 exhibitors in 2003. A greater number of first-time international participants (including Diamond Trading Co.(DTC) sightholders from Belgium and the Far East, as well as 27 companies exhibiting in an Italian Trade Centre-sponsored Italian Pavilion) reflects the region's growing importance to the international jewelry community.\n\n"As the figures indicate, IJD has grown tremendously in stature, and while it is already the most significant show of its kind in the region, it is now set to take its place among the premier shows serving the jewelry trade on the world stage," says Christina Nicholson, general manager of exhibitions and conventions for the Dubai World Trade Centre, the organizers of the show. \n\n"With Dubai playing an increasingly important part in the worldwide gold and jewelry trade, thanks to its strategic position and strong trade ties with the region, an exhibition like International Jewellery Dubai has tremendous scope for growth," Nicholson says.\n\nThe show's expansion comes as no surprise in this city, where the most common remark focuses on the shocking degree of change that's transformed Dubai from a desert outpost into a bustling capital of commerce. It is considered the hub of the Gulf region, now the third largest diamond market in the world, after the United States and Japan, according to DTC figures.
