By Karen Fenessey
YET another day passes where I must bite the tears and press on in this terrible world where there is no Michael. His message to the world 'It don't matter if you're black or white' has never been so relevant – especially as I recently learned from the BBC series The Incredible Human Journey: Out of Africa that in fact all humans are black, regardless of the colour of their skin.

Tuesday: Dubai
DUBAI, Dubai - so good they named it twice. I've never seen so much money crammed into one space - even the eye spaces in the ladies' veils are filled in with diamonds.
