note
’m writing to you from our new offices in JLT which have the most amazing, if slightly distracting, views. It looks so peaceful out there and the weather looks deceptively gorgeous. The reality is that it’s hot and tempers are starting to fray! So I’m looking forward to going home to the UK for a couple of weeks, where they are enjoying beautiful weather (apologies to all those there as it will probably start to rain as soon as I land!). And, I’m guessing, there will be at least a week long celebration of the birth of the newest member of the Royal family. Congratulations Kate and Wills! Of course, I’ll be just as delighted to get back to Dubai when we’ll be heading for amazing weather and great events! Speaking of great events, I was recently honoured to be asked to be an Ambassador for Dubai’s Big Pink Ball! It’s my job to ensure you are invited to the charity event of the year and the grand finale to Dubai Goes Pink. The ball will be held on 24th October at the uber glam Meydan Racecourse to raise money for Breast Cancer Arabia. Find out how you can get your ticket on page 26. But for now au revoir, mà as-salam and good bye! Enjoy your summer!

Falconry - a UAE heritage
Mark Atkinson looks at the UAE’s deeprooted falconry traditions, its history in the Emirates and the modern role of the world’s fastest-moving creature.

ith its references seen in so many forms across the Emirates, the falcon remains steeped in UAE heritage. Often considered amongst the most majestic birds of prey, the peregrine and saqr are the two main species found in the UAE. The peregrine falcon is the fastestmoving creature on earth, aided by its tapered wing design. When diving for prey, it has been recorded reaching speeds of 320km/hour. With a wingspan measuring around one metre, falcons have incredibly keen eyesight, spotting their prey over long distances and swooping to catch them midair with breathtaking accuracy. At one point, peregrine numbers were fast declining, particularly in the US where the species became endangered. Breeding programmes have since strengthened their population and they can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Falcons in general now comprise around 37 different species. They can live for around 17 years.
Falcons in the UAE Falconry in the Middle East is thought to go back centuries and was developed for a number of practical reasons. The sheikhs and tribal leaders used them to carry messages and find out what was happening within their wider territories. The Bedouin would capture and use them to hunt for the meat of the houbara bustard (a large flying desert bird) or desert hare. This was to occasionally supplement a diet which consisted mainly of bread, milk and dates. The way the falcon kills is considered Halal, as it bites its prey through the neck. Today, falconry in the UAE remains as strong as ever - through the serious enthusiasts and trainers that keep the tradition alive and well, the medical centres and hospitals that specialise in caring for falcons (some of the best in the world), the organisations that train and supply the birds for either practical or recreational purposes, the businesses that train and use falcons for the purpose of pest control, the resorts that provide falconry displays for their visitors, and on a more touristic level the resorts that offer visitors the obligatory photo www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 19
of a falcon perched on their wrist. Further fuelling the tradition, Al Ain hosted the International Festival of Falconry in 2011. It attracted thousands of people from 78 countries - allegedly the world’s largest gathering of falconers to date. The Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) initiates ongoing falconry studies such as nesting, migration and population studies in various different global locations such as Mongolia, Bulgaria and Eurasia.
Falcon training Something that many UAE residents may not be aware of is the more practical role that falcons play as the guardians of some of Dubai’s iconic buildings. As well as providing its highly-trained falcons to attend some of the city’s community charity events, Al Hurr Falconry Services has 22 highly-trained falcons ‘policing’ the tops of buildings such as Burj Al Arab and Madinat Jumeirah, driving away the pigeons that frequent the rooftops. Pigeons cause damage to the buildings through the ‘corrosive’ acid in their droppings, and are notoriously difficult to control. Falcons, it seems, provide a perfect solution. As Al Hurr Falconry is keen to point out, the falcons are trained to drive away, rather than kill the intruders. Falcons are trained to circle around their own specific building and create a threatening, rather than fatal, atmosphere for the pigeons. Each of the company’s falcons has its own name and identity. One of the star performers is ‘Mack the Knife’ - one for Sinatra fans. Others include Pistol, Bandit, Joey, Ali and the female peregrine, Mary. As an Al Hurr spokesperson points out, the relationship is purely on the falcon’s terms. Training is based on food rewards - not loyalty from the falcon’s side. Each has its own personality and tolerance towards how it is handled. For functions such as photo or film shoots, some love to be stroked and others don’t like people. The company also organises flying displays for desert tour operators and corporate events. That said, training in general is very much built on strengthening the relationship Connector AUGUST | 19 7/25/13 10:55 AM
SPECIAL feature
between falcon and trainer. During the first few weeks, the trainer spends as much time as possible with the bird to build a relationship. During training, the falcon sits on an ‘Al Wakr’, round wooden platform, or perches on a ‘manqalah’ (a cuff stuffed with fabric or straw) on the trainer’s wrist. In either case, the falcon is tethered with a leash designed to enable it some freedom of movement. The trainer continuously refers to the bird by name, so it can eventually recognise the trainer’s voice from far distances. As part of the taming process - particularly because of its acutely sharp eyesight and to avoid distraction, the falcon also wears the ‘Al Burgu’, a leather hood which covers its eyes. Its eyes are then gradually exposed to its new environment over a period of time. For tourists to the UAE, the falconry trade remains big business, with many resorts and desert tour operators offering their guests the photo opportunity of a hooded falcon perched on their wrist. Ras Al Khaimah resort, Baniyan Tree Al Wadi, has a 100-hectare nature reserve, where visitors can fly a falcon for themselves, or opt for other packages such as a relaxing walk through the nature reserve, falcon on wrist depending on preference or budget.
Preserving conservation In most respects, the UAE’s falconry infrastructure is firmly focused for the main part on welfare rather than commerciality. Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital is reportedly the largest in the world. Since its establishment in 1999, the hospital has treated more than 42,000 of its winged patients. 20 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 20
Dubai Falcon Hospital was opened in 1983, and performs various tasks from vaccinations to different surgeries. Out of the different roles of the falcon - hunting, flying displays or pest control, the main bulk of injuries stem from hunting falcons, says a hospital source. The most common conditions are bumblefoot (a bacterial foot infection) and aspergillosis (a lung condition). There are other organisations that support the falconry industry, such as Royal Shaheen events - a professional falcon training company catering both for bird control and entertainment purposes. It also runs the Baniyan Tree Al Wadi falconry shows mentioned earlier, which it claims to be the UAE’s first ‘official’ falconry course aimed at the complete novice. Other websites clearly advertise themselves as traders/breeders in hunting falcons. Some look more responsible, established and credentialed, and others less compelling. As a result, a UAE initiative was established in 2005 to register and issue falcon passports and add an additional level of traceability to falcon trading. In most respects the falcon’s UAE heritage remains for the positive - not least through the Sheikh Zayed Falcon Release Project. This initiative was design around the late Abu Dhabi leader’s wishes that falcons should remain undomesticated and be returned to the wild after the hunting season to live in their natural habitat. Within the stipulations of the project, the birds should be isolated at Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, given a full medical check-up, ringed around its leg, microchipped and released along its natural migratory routes. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/13 9:05 AM

NOW is the right time for freelancing Why
R
ecent figures released in June by a local recruitment company showed that seven out of 10 people would consider freelancing as an option. Many employers also prefer to outsource to freelancers because of the access to expertise it gives them and because it can often be more cost efficient than hiring a full time employee. “This confirms what we’ve been saying all along”, says the founder of Nabbesh.com Loulou Khazen Baz. “We set up the company a year ago because there simply wasn’t a platform that was dedicated to freelance and part time work.” Nabbesh won the televised Entrepreneur Competition last year on Dubai One, and has grown quickly to reach 16,000 members across multiple countries. They have focused particularly on women in the first week of June, speaking at the Founders Lounge event by Heels and Deals, also presenting at the Mumpreneur Meetup organised by Momsouq and talking at the Tamakkan Seminar on the Rise of Women Entrepreneurship in Abu Dhabi. The biggest impact freelance work has is really on the female sector. Many women, whether they are expats or local, need to have flexible working hours to allow them to take care of their families. Being in the office from 9am and 6pm every day often is not a realistic option. Women are a constantly underserved
28 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 28
segment in the labour force and Nabbesh aims to bring opportunities to women wherever they might be. The largest demand at the moment for freelancers is in the creative, arts, design, PR and tech industries with a lot of requests also for translators. The team are about to release their Paypal integration which means that whilst freelancers used to spend more time chasing up their money previously, they can now get paid directly through the platform well within one month. Loulou says she wants to see many more women take up freelancing and to get out of the mindset that its either a career or family life. You can manage to blend both in a way that suits you. Similarly there are many women who are themselves starting small businesses and really need access to a talent pool that can help them get certain tasks done. The quickest way to find the person with the skills you need is on Nabbesh. Frequently women are not involved in the tech and design community but now they can see examples of past work and other qualifications the freelancer has in order to make decisions quickly. So there you have it, register on Nabbesh as soon as possible and start being your own boss. Visit www.nabbesh.com or www.facebook. com/nabbesh. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/13 9:05 AM

Shang Thai Let’s be honest, there’s a fair few Thai restaurants in Dubai. Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, Shang Thai does have its differences though, including an all female staff from the kitchen to front of house and a completely unpretentious, serene setting plus tasty and authentic food.
What we ate
We started with the Shang Thai Selection which included vegetable spring rolls, fish cakes, prawns on toast, chicken satay and papaya salad. For mains we enjoyed the wokfried chicken with sweet and sour sauce, a Thai red curry with prawns, the Thai style fried rice with shrimp and the wok-fired rice noodles with prawns and roasted peanuts. And for dessert we just couldn’t resist the crisp-fired tempura of vanilla ice cream.
Verdict
The food was great, authentic and delicious. This one gets the thumbs up from us!

GOOD food
Bon
Cermoula fish tajine
Cermoula fish tajine is a Moroccan dish made with whole white fish or fillets marinated in chermoula paste and baked in an oven using a traditional tajine cooking pot, although a standard oven proof casserole dish with lid can be used. The basis of this dish is the marinade, chermoula, which is a simple but delicious North African cooking paste and, apart from a marinade, can also be used as a stuffing or sauce. It is very simple to prepare. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until you reach the desired consistency - it should be finely chopped but not puréed. It will taste even better if you make it an hour or so in advance so that the flavours can develop. If made in advance, to stop discolouration refrigerate under a film of olive oil until ready to use.
Serves 4
Ingredients chermoula 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped ½ teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons chopped parsley 3 tablespoons chopped coriander 2 teaspoons paprika 2 teaspoons ground cumin ¼ tablespoon harissa* (or chilli paste) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons water Tajine 500 grams firm white fish fillets (or whole fish) 500 grams potato, peeled and sliced 300 grams ripe tomatoes, sliced and marinated in chermoula 100 grams peas 1 capsicum, cut into strips (any colour) 2 tablespoons tomato paste 200 ml fish stock or water ½ teaspoon castor sugar 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 1 tablespoon chopped coriander 1 tablespoon lemon juice ½ teaspoon salt black pepper to taste 38 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 38
Method
To make the chermoula, combine all the ingredients in a small food processor and blitz until blended (sauce should be thick, not liquid like). Taste the sauce for flavour and add additional salt or pepper if needed, then add the tomatoes and leave to marinate. Wash and dry fish, remove the tomatoes from marinade and rub chermoula paste onto both sides of the fish and marinate for 30 minutes. Lightly oil a 28cm tajine (or oven proof casserole with lid) then lay the potatoes on the base (to form a platform) and place the marinated fish on top. Spread marinated tomatoes, peas and capsicum strips over the fish. Mix tomato paste with fish stock, salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil and pour over the fish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and coriander, cover with lid and bake for 30-40 minutes in preheated oven 200C (400F) (gas 6). When cooked remove and rest for five minutes. Before serving add lemon juice and serve with green salad and extra chermoula sauce on the side. Enjoy! *Harissa paste is available at most supermarkets

Designing
your
HOME OFFICE
Over the past ten years, the number of people who work from home has grown exponentially. Some estimates in the USA put the number at upwards of 20 million individuals who now work from home at least part of the time. 40 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 40

An L-shape or triangle layout is the most attractive, especially if you have a swivel chair with wheels.
T
here are several aspects to take into account before you rush headlong into creating a home office. Don’t make the mistake of buying a plethora of equipment, only to find you didn’t really need it, or that it will not fit into your designated area. Careful planning is essential. First, you must choose a location in the house where you want your home office to be. A bedroom, unused maid’s room or unused corner is fine, as long as you can be guaranteed a high level of privacy at times when you need it. Don’t be tempted to base the home office in an area regularly frequented by other family members. Screaming kids may break your concentration at any time, or a customer on the telephone may view you as unprofessional, due to high background noise. Make sure the room has adequate lighting according to your needs, and that temperature and humidity levels are comfortable. Once you have chosen an area for your home office, you will need to equip it. Think very carefully about what you actually need before buying, and check that it will fit into the space easily. It is better to buy the bare necessities and build on that, rather than buying a load of hi-tech equipment that you hardly use. Also, consider buying your equipment inexpensively (for example from IKEA) or second hand, to save on some cash. www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 41
Next, you need to consider the layout. Most home offices will include a photocopier, a computer, a printer, a fax and a telephone. When installing these items, it is best to make sure each one is positioned in a practical fashion. It’s no good everything looking neat and attractive if you have to twist uncomfortably to answer the phone. Generally, an L-shape or triangle layout is the most attractive, especially if you have a swivel chair with wheels - all the equipment and files will then be to hand. An important consideration is comfort, and this is one area that you should not be afraid to invest in. Buy a chair that you can sit in a working posture for a long time, and a desk that is at a comfortable height. The cash you invest in these quality items of furniture will be repaid many times over with a high rate of productivity. Productivity is also increased if the home office is organised. So make sure you set up a proper filing system that is easy to use. Consider the use of an answer phone for the times when you are not in the office and if you are using a computer, it is crucial that you back up your files regularly. At the end of the day, part of the joy in creating a home office is that you get to choose the exact layout and location. However, by adhering to these fundamental basics, you can avoid falling into the most common traps. Connector AUGUST | 41 7/25/13 9:05 AM

Prevention is better than
cure The importance of a Preventive Maintenance Contract for your Home or Office
I
f you’ve ever experienced an air conditioning failure during a Dubai summer, you know how uncomfortable the feeling is. You would rather be out in the elements where there’s a slight breeze than in an enclosed space with no cool air. Having your systems routinely checked to head off any potential problems will result in a comfortable indoor environment for your family all year long. Just as you take yourself in for routine dental and medical check-ups and your car for services, your air conditioning unit is also an important and complex machine that needs to be checked often. However, where your car has parts such as belts, brakes, hoses and batteries which require regular maintenance, an a/c unit has capacitors, contactors, fuses and motors which are all susceptible to failure if they are not maintained on a regular basis. Unlike your car, your home’s cooling system is in operation most hours of the day, providing your family with the proper air output and temperature to ensure their comfort. Therefore, these parts are working on an average of four to five times longer than your car. Several costly mechanical failures can arise from the smallest of issues. For a fraction of the cost of a major repair, a preventative maintenance contract can keep all the mechanical components of your home running, and keep them from turning into big, expensive problems.
44 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 44
An air conditioning duct’s job is to circulate cooled air evenly to every room in a house. Poorly performing ducts can leak conditioned air and reduce your system’s efficiency causing it to work harder to keep your home at comfortable temperature. You should have your duct system checked by a professional contractor to ensure it is operating efficiently to deliver the right amount of conditioned air. Task Force Technical Services offers Preventive Maintenance Agreements to help keep repair and energy costs low. They offer some of the lowest prices in the industry and unlike many other company’s maintenance agreements their Preventive Maintenance Agreements are transferrable to new owners. This makes a great selling point should you decide to sell your home in the future or would like to transfer the remainder of your PMA to your new residence. They will come out three times a year, to ensure your plumbing, electrical and air conditioning is all in working order offering you the peace of mind knowing that your systems will be covered by a licensed professional for years to come. For further information, call Task Force Technical Services on 800-8275 (TASK).
Benefits you’ll receive with Task Force’s Preventive Maintenance Agreements: • electrical, plumbing and air conditioning services performed 3 times a year • reduction or elimination of costly repairs • lower utility bills • extended life of your components • increased performance of your cooling system • transferrable contracts • emergency call outs. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/13 10:29 AM

The fruit of
Arabia
Dates play a key role in the identity, diet and traditions of the UAE, particularly so during the Holy Month of Ramadan. In Islamic culture, dates are traditionally the first foods consumed for Iftar after the sun has set.
D
ry or soft dates are eaten as is, or may be pitted and stuffed with fillings such as nuts or candied fruits. Partially dried pitted dates meanwhile may be glazed with glucose syrup while recent innovations include chocolatecovered dates. Chopped dates are also used in a range of sweet and savoury dishes. Due to their low moisture content, the nutrients in dates are highly concentrated and provide a wide range of essential nutrients including natural sugars, proteins, fibre and vitamins. Beneficial trace elements in dates include potassium, copper, magnesium, manganese, selenium and zinc among others. The UAE is currently the world’s fourth largest producer of dates. In the past forty years the fruit’s production has increased nearly a hundredfold with dates being skilfully harvested by hand from more than 40 million palm trees across the country. The palm tree is the most versatile of all native plants and virtually every part of the tree is utilised. For centuries, the date palm has provided a staple food source for the Bedouin people, who also use its timber for construction and fuel, its fronds to protect dwellings and its
leaves to craft a variety of items such as baskets, mats and brooms. Date palm sap is harvested and used to make palm syrup and palm sugar (also known as jaggery or gur). The seeds do not go to waste; they are ground (just as coffee beans are) and utilised as an additive to coffee. Finely ground seeds can be mixed with flour to make bread, while burned seeds produce a type of charcoal favoured by silversmiths. From the tree we also derive palm oil, which is suitable for use in soap and cosmetics. Even the flowers of the date palm are edible. Animals enjoy dates too. Dried dates are fed to camels, horses and dogs in Africa’s Sahara region and are used to enrich stockfeed. It is easy to see why date palms have been cultivated, revered and treasured over the years. In ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia they were considered ‘sacred’ and their representations used as symbols of victory, triumph and peace. From the dawn of time, date palms and their fruit have played a key role in the lives of millions of families and they continue to do so amid the hustle and bustle of our 21st century.

PROTECTING posthumous
LIFE O
ft-repeated concerns about safety and security in the Middle East are traditionally associated with safeguarding human lives. What many expatriates living in the region often do not remember or recognise is the more pertinent aspect of protecting posthumous life. An unexpected death is one of the most devastating things that can happen to any family, anywhere in the world. But imagine if, in its wake, there are troubles and traumas ranging from bank accounts being frozen to family assets being distributed to warring factions. After a lifetime of planning how to make money and managing the wise spending and saving of all your wealth, death puts a full stop to all these decisions. For expatriates living in Dubai, or in most places in the Middle East, there is a pressing reason to make a proper will. The Government of Dubai’s official website states that ‘the UAE Courts will adhere to Sharia law in any situation where there is no will in place’. This just means that if you live and work here, and you die without having made a will or planning your estate, the local courts will examine your estate and potentially distribute it according to Sharia law. Unpaid bills, debts and mortgages do not automatically die with the death of a person. All personal assets, including bank accounts of the deceased, are frozen until such time liabilities have been discharged to the satisfaction of the courts. Application 48 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 48
of Sharia law is particularly pertinent in circumstances where the deceased is under the sponsorship of his or her spouse and has a joint bank account or shared assets (freehold homes). These may be frozen until the issue of inheritance is determined by the local courts, and surviving family members are often left without access to money until the authorities decide how the estate should be distributed, which could take months or even years. Not only does the absence of a will or estate planning affect the family financially, but it can also goad the authorities to intervene concerning guardianship of bereaved children. This is especially true in cases where death befalls both parents simultaneously. Unless a will specifies arrangements which members of your family or friends should raise your children, there is a possibility that their care may be entrusted to other parties. Many expatriate families continue to harbour the notion that living and working in the Middle East fail is a treat, but they forget that it could easily turn into a tragedy in the event of unplanned death. While the concern of ‘securing’ lives is misguided at most times, secure planning for the future is most definitely a must.

How children learn Babies are competent learners and from birth, children learn and develop in a variety of ways. Knowledgeable and caring parents are their child’s first educators and can do much with their child in their early years that will enable them to become lifelong learners. By being aware of the ways that children learn, parents can engage their child and enjoy discovering their growing abilities together in a fun way.
Playing - playing is learning to children and can occur indoors or outside. When children are interested in something, they will explore possibilities through their play, practice their ideas, extend their skills, explore their feelings, learn from their mistakes and develop their imagination. Through play children learn about the world around them; they love pretending to do the things that the adults do, in fact, something as simple as helping to sweep the floor can be an enjoyable learning activity. It is important that parents are aware of their child’s interests, what they enjoy doing and offer them opportunities to extend their learning through everyday play opportunities. Being with other people - children learn from the people around them. They watch and imitate actions and words and learn social skills 50 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 50
as well as how to do things. Parents should be aware of the role model they are portraying, as children will learn from what adults do not do as well as what they do do! If parents want their child to be polite they need to be polite to other people, if parents want their child to be calm then they too must be calm. Being active - children learn best by doing things - young children are active using all their senses to explore the world around them. Sitting still for a young child is often not appropriate and parents should be aware of the demands they put on their child and make sure they are realistic. Expecting a young child to sit still for long periods will lead to frustration and what is perceived as poor behaviour as children show through their actions what they want to do! Learning occurs when children are actively engaged in an activity. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/13 9:53 AM
Talking to themselves - we use language to organise our thoughts and many adults talk themselves through a new experience. Children will use language as they play, using their speech to organise their play, order their thoughts and extend their learning. Parents can help their child by extending their experiences by asking open-ended questions to further a child’s thinking. Children enjoy sharing their thoughts and ideas; even the youngest children will do this through gestures and body language. Having as responsive, caring adult helps a child’s self-esteem as well as their learning. Being shown how to do things - while children can learn many things by exploration, sometimes they need a more experienced person to show them how to tackle a problem. This might be something as simple as how to put their shoes on - by taking time to show your child and then encouraging them to have a go, children will feel confident and supported in their learning. If a task is more complicated, then children need help to do things in steps - putting clothes on and doing up buttons will be learnt gradually if an adult helps a child and encouraged by positive praise to do the bits they can. Children will learn from their peers and from older children around them as well. Practising and repeating skills - children need time and space in order to practice their skills. A young child might have an interest in putting things in and out of containers. By providing different containers, bags and boxes and by providing a variety of objects to put inside the containers, parents can foster the child’s interest and extend their learning. Young children need time to imbed their knowledge through repeating skills in different situations. Children enjoy having a favourite book re-read to them many times, as they savour the language and anticipate what is coming next. Their favourite toys will often be those that offer endless possibilities to practice and extend their skills and imagination Duplo, building blocks, garages and cars, small world toys such as animals and dolls houses. Meeting physical and mental challenges - parents should provide opportunities for children to be challenged, to try out options www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 51
and learn from the consequences. Encouraging children to find out what happens when they build a tower of blocks too high or if they pour too much water in a cup are ways in which children learn. Ensuring safety and that tasks are not too hard (leading to frustration) is important. However, with support children can extend their physical and mental capabilities - climbing higher on a climbing frame, throwing and catching a ball, feeding themselves with as spoon or fork, putting their own shoes on, getting themselves dressed, working out how to open a packet of biscuits in their snack box and so on. Physical independence is important to a child’s selfconfidence and self-esteem. Having fun - earlier is not always better! Research has shown that young children who are taught formally have better test scores in the short term but show no long-term advantage over children who have experienced a more play based active approach to learning. Research on the brain development of young children shows that boys especially, are disadvantaged by being taught formally too early as their brain is not ready. Children learn best when activities and experiences are fun. There should be no place for dull and repetitive activities. Children who are asked to sit still for long periods at an activity they are not interested in will show adults how inappropriate it is for them through their behaviour. Activities should be fun and playful to sustain a child’s interest. This will mean they focus longer and therefore have a greater opportunity to learn. By being aware of their child’s interests and how they learn, parents can enjoy supporting and sharing their child’s development.

Dry nights
A UAE campaign, called Dry Nights UAE, has been launched to alert parents about the impact of bedwetting in children. The psychological impact of bed wetting amongst 5 to 12 year olds is so severe, and relatively unknown in the UAE, that compared to other life events bedwetting ranked second as a major concern for young children, only after parental divorce. It is a worrying statistic when Primary Nocturnal Enuresis, which is its medical name, is one of the most prevalent ailments amongst young children, with an estimated 50 million children across the world suffering from PNE. That is 15% to 20% of children at the age of 5. Nevertheless, little is known about PNE amongst parents or the psychological impact bed wetting has on children, many of whom will perform poorly at school and be subject to bullying resulting in low self-esteem. Therefore, a concerned group of hospitals, clinics and doctors in the UAE have launched a campaign called Dry Nights UAE aiming to educate parents around the misconceptions in regards to bedwetting. Whilst aiming to alleviate concerns and align misconceptions, the Dry Nights campaign will also encourage parents to seek professional advice from qualified paediatricians or urologists through its website www.bedwetting-me.org. You can also join in the conversation via facebook and @DryNightsUAE. www.mydubaiconnection.com

Summer safety During the summer months dogs and cats can suffer from the same problems that humans do - overheating, dehydration and even sunburn. By taking these simple precautions, you can protect your pets and keep them safe.
• It is generally accepted that you should only
walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening, about an hour after the sun has gone down. Not only because of the temperature, but the sidewalks are too hot for a dog’s paws, and they will burn. General rule; if the sidewalk is too hot for you to walk barefoot, it is too hot for your dog. • When you walk your dog in the summer take water, make frequent water stops and don’t take long walks or over-exert. • Never leave your pet alone in a vehicle. Even with the air conditioning going, a parked vehicle quickly becomes a furnace and overheating can kill. Parking in the shade offers no protection. • Always carry cold water for your pet and keep a spare bowl in the car if you do need to take a trip. • Don’t force your animal to exercise after a meal. • Never leave your dog standing on hot asphalt. His body can heat up quickly and his paws can burn.
• Do not take an animal to the beach without a shaded spot and plenty of fresh water.
• Rinse him off after he has been in salt water. • Be extra sensitive to old and overweight
animals. Snub-nosed dogs such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Lhasa Apsos and Shih Tzus, as well as those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air conditioned rooms and their walks kept to the bare minimum. • Avoid walking your dog in areas that have been sprayed with insecticides or other chemicals. Be alert for car coolant or automotive fluids leaking from your vehicle. Animals are attracted to the sweet taste, and ingesting just a small amount can be fatal. Call your veterinary clinic immediately if you suspect your pet has been poisoned. • Keep your animal well-groomed. Shaving a heavy-coated dog’s hair to a one-inch length helps prevent overheating. Don’t shave the hair down to the skin or you will rob him of sun protection. Cats should be brushed often. • Ensure you prevent your pet drinking from a swimming pool and supervise any ‘dips’ that your dog may take. Animals do not sweat like humans do. Dogs and cats cool themselves by panting and by sweating through their paws. If they have only overheated air to breathe, animals can collapse, suffer brain damage, and possibly die of heatstroke. Just 15 minutes can be enough for body temperature to climb from normal to deadly levels, often leaving the animal comatosed, dehydrated, and at risk of permanent impairment or even death.

The Arabian
MAU
In the Middle East at least two sub-species of wild cats still thrive: the Sand Cat (Felis margarita), superbly adapted to desert life, is the smallest of all wild cats and is found in sandy deserts across Africa, Arabia and Asia. The local Gordon’s Wild Cat, Felis silvestris gordoni, is present only in the Arabian Peninsula.
C
As a consequence, Arabian Mau cats are considered by many as the oldest breed of domestic cat, namely Felis catus, most likely derived from the ancestors of the Gordon’s wild cat, Felis silvestris gordoni. The uniqueness of this cat is the fact that it is the only breed that naturally shows a spotted tabby coat and often shows distinctive black spots on the body. Gordon’s wild cats are often mistaken for tabby cats by non-experts. They have the overall colouring of a tabby cat, with stripes on the rear half of the body, three stripes around the distal part of the tail and an overall bronze colour with vague spots. The similarities with the Arabian Mau that historically show silver, bronze and smoke variations in the haircoat, are striking. Every wild cat looks exactly the same, as usually happens with wild species, with only slight colour variations. With the domestication process most animals expand the palette of colours enormously as well as the size and shape of derived sub-species. The true and pure wild cats are slightly smaller than the domestic Arabian Mau and once they interbreed, the offspring can have any colouring or marking known to cats. Another unique characteristic of this breed that allows him to live in such a hot, arid climate is the tendency to live a nocturnal life and to sleep all day. Mau cats maintain a rather lazy existence spending 80% of their time 60 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 60
resting. They devote another 17% to low-activity pursuits such as grooming and 3% to highactivity pursuits such as hunting. Gordon’s wild cats, on the other hand, rest only 60% of their time, and spend 16%, mostly at night, being highly active. Wild cats roam 25 times more widely than domestic Mau do. Like domestic ones, wild cats like to stay close to humans for easier access to food: this fact explains interbreeding and earlier domestication. The Mau’s coat is does not have an undercoat and lies close to the body, thus protecting the animal from extreme heat and at the same time helping the exchange of temperature with the environment due to the lack of undercoats. With thanks to PetZone. Call 04-3467870 or visit www.petzoneonline.com for more information.
ARABIAN MAU The Arabian Mau is under the spotlight, after the recognition of his peculiarities. If you visit the webpage of the World Cat Federation (WCF), the welcoming page shows a picture of an Arabian Mau, with the following caption: Arabian Mau, the newest shorthair breed in WCF. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/13 9:06 AM

L
iving in a state of permanent summertime means that Gulf residents have to deal with some very particular beauty issues. So here are some specific beauty tips that deal with problems such as sun protection, chlorine damage to hair, how to banish bikini line bumps, and much more.
Skin - Skin that has been exposed to the sun
seems to show more wrinkles, spots, blemishes and pigment variations than covered areas. To protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, slather sunscreen on all exposed areas whenever you step outside. Choose a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or more, and one which blocks both UVA and UVB rays. When you live with permanent sunshine, there are some switches that you need to make when it comes to cosmetics and lotions - some of the products you relied on overseas may be too heavy or too pimpleproducing for the Gulf climate. To help keep your skin clear through extreme heat and humidity, you should switch from a milky or cream-based cleanser to a light, gel-based type that doesn’t leave a heavy, moisturising residue behind. Your toner should be of the alcohol-free variety as those that contain alcohol can strip the natural oils from your skin and leave it exposed to the harsh elements and prone to dehydration, redness and flaking.
Hair - The sun may give hair cool blonde streaks,
but it doesn’t help its condition. Sun protection hair sprays and lotions are available and you should consider using these, especially before you hit the beach. After a hard day’s sunbathing, rinse out the sand from your hair with a special sun and swim shampoo to cleanse away salt, chlorine, sun cream and grime. Follow with an intensive conditioner.
Coloured hair - There’s a lot to love about the
sun, but what it does to coloured hair usually isn’t on the list. Dryness and horrid changes in hair colour are what we have to look forward to. UV light is to blame - it damages all hair types just as well as it damages skin. You can limit your hair’s exposure by using repairing shampoos, conditioners and styling www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 69
products with built-in sun protection. Look for ingredients such as heliogenol or Parsol SLX, a new sun protectant made specifically for the hair.
Scalp - Just like the rest of your skin, your scalp is vulnerable to UV light and should be protected against sunburn. Before stepping outside, rub or spray a small amount of traditional sun block on any exposed scalp. If you’ve burnt your scalp, dab on an anti-inflammatory with cotton wool (such as camomile lotion) to take away the sting. Repeat twice daily. When washing, wash only the ends of your hair and wear a hat for a few days when venturing outdoors. Frizzy hair - Nature’s elements can wreak havoc on frizzy hair, and sun, wind and humidity are the main culprits. If your hair has a tendency to frizz, here are some things to avoid: • fine tooth combs and brushes • excessive heat styling • touching hair while it’s drying • high alcohol content in styling products • any sort of friction on the hair (towel rubbing for example) Chlorine - If your highlights turn green in the
swimming pool, apply ketchup all over, leave for three minutes and then rinse thoroughly. If this doesn’t work for you, then make a hair appointment as soon as possible! To avoid this happening in the first place, saturate your hair with tap water before getting into the pool. That way, dulling chlorine (and/or salt water) won’t seep through. Also, try clarifying shampoos after swimming. Some are produced with alpha-hydroxy acids to help strip the hair of unwanted build-up while preserving its natural shine and bounce.
Bikini line bumps - Ingrown hair is what bikini
bumps are all about. They occur when a shaved hair curls and grows back into your skin instead of growing outwards. The best remedy is to exfoliate the area regularly, using a slougher that contains salicylic acid or glycolic acid to shed the skin that’s trapping the hair. To lessen your chances of having more ingrown hair, be sure to change your razor blade often and always shave your bikini area in the direction of the hair’s growth.

Biolustre, Great Lengths Salon Let’s face it…most of us abuse our hair. From blow drying to bleaching, straightening to baking on the beach, our crowning glory is certainly put through its paces. Nurse your mane back to life with a miracle in a bottle - Biolustre at Great Lenghts.
What’s it for?
Biolustre instantly restores texture, health and shine. It repairs damage, provides longlasting colour and vitality, and increases tensile strength and elasticity by 300%.
What’s involved?
The hair is washed then towel dried before the Biolustre Instant Hair Reconstructor is applied. Biolustre enters the hair shaft and binds to the hair using a synthetic, restructuring polymer that is molecularly similar to hair. It rebuilds hair to its virgin state and doesn’t wash out. After sitting under a drier I emerged with rock solid hair, before it was washed and conditioned using Biolustre products, then dried and styled as normal.
What are the results?
I can’t remember the last time my hair looked and felt so soft, shiny and silky smooth. Even the dreaded Dubai-frizz that inflicts many of us at this time of the year seems to have disappeared. This one gets a ten out of ten from me!
How much?
Prices vary depending on the length of your hair. The treatment for my shoulder-length hair cost Dhs 750. For appointments call 04-3952013/4 or visit www.greatlengthssalondubai.net. -S.R. 70 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 70
Nail Extensions @ Essential Hair and Beauty Salon There are plenty of reasons to get gel nails extensions. Maybe you’re going to a wedding or an event and you want to look sharp. Or perhaps you’ve had trouble growing your nails long and need assistance. Either way Essentials Beauty Salon is there to help with their award winning nail technician Victoria Gincu.
What’s involved?
Victoria started by prepping the nail plate so she had a good canvas to work with. She then filed, buffed and cleaned my cuticles until they looked immaculate before they were ready for the gel. The extension was then applied and set with the UV lamp to cure. The clear gel was applied and the extensions were then shaped ready for the next step. A white gel was applied to the tip giving the nail a perfect French manicured effect. This was also cured in the UV lamp. Then a pale pink gel was applied followed by the final clear coat to reveal glossy French manicured nail enhancements.
What are the results?
My nails look fantastic, they’re absolutely perfect!
How much?
A full set of nail extensions starts from Dhs 300 and refills from Dhs 180. Essential Hair and Beauty Salon is located on Al Wasl Road. Call 04-3955909 for appointments. -C.G. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/13 9:07 AM

hether it is messaging on your Blackberry, checking your emails or logging in on facebook to stay connected to friends, as Mary Sullivan discovers, going overboard on technology can be seep into other areas of your life and can eventually erode into your relationships and ultimately your wellbeing. Take our technology addiction test and find out where you stand.
Defined
An addiction by definition, explains Dr Saliha Afridi, Clinical Psychologist and Managing Director of LightHouse Arabia Community Psychology Clinic, is a habit or practice that is psychologically or physically habit forming. “The use of the word ‘addiction’ is typically used for things that are unhealthy and used compulsively, even if the person is aware of their addiction,” she says. And the reality is that technology addictions are no different. For example, Dr Afridi points out that a person may have compulsive use of electronic gadgets while neglecting their responsibilities and relationships. And when he/she does, the individual might experience withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, cravings, and constantly thinking about when the next use will be, as is the case with any kind of addiction.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Are you preoccupied with a strong desire for technology? And are you constantly thinking about previous online activity or anticipating the next use? 2. After several days of no technology, do you have withdrawal symptoms manifested by melancholy, anxiety, irritability, and/or boredom? 3. Has your tolerance level for technology increased? 4. Is your persistent desire and/or unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back or discontinue use of technology difficult? 5. Do you disregard the harmful psychological consequences related to excessive technology use? 6. Do social communication and previous interests and hobbies now seem less important? 7. Do you use technology to escape or relieve negative emotions such as feelings of helplessness, guilt, or anxiety? www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 75
8. Are these symptoms causing clinically significant impairment such as reduced social, academic, or working ability, loss of significant relationships, job, educational or career opportunities?
Advice
The first and most important step, suggests Dr Afridi is for people to see this as an issue that is detrimental to their lives, their minds, their bodies and their relationships. “People joke about the issue of being addicted, but they don’t realise that the same pleasure centres of our brain that are triggered during drug and alcohol addiction are triggered with technology addictions,” and once this is realised, then healthier habits are needed to substitute the unhealthy ones.
Habits to help with technology addiction: • Take some time out daily to either turn the phone off or not have access to it, to begin with for just one hour and then increase this time to one complete day without technology. • Try traditional ways of doing the same things: snail mail, paper books, playing board games. • Be present in relationships and switch off the phone when you have dinner with your family or partner. • Grow the spaces of ‘no technology’ use. For example, learn to sit at traffic lights or wait in grocery store lines without looking at your phone. • Be disciplined about use. When you are at the park, be at the park - not doing office work. Have specific hours of the day where you answer emails. While we have become highly efficient people, we are also becoming mindless, disconnected, unhappy, and fragmented. • Learn to soothe yourself. Instead of turning to technology to calm yourself or escape, find other ways of soothing and comforting yourself - for example, taking walks, baths, doing yoga, sitting on the beach, or going for a massage.

Ovarian reserve As a woman ages, her supply of eggs gradually declines over time until the eggs are depleted at menopause. Although we expect the ovary to age in a certain way, there are times when it does not behave as predicted. That’s why screening for ovarian reserve is a fundamental part of the initial evaluation for infertility patients of any age.
T
he term ‘ovarian reserve’ refers to a woman’s current supply of eggs, and is closely associated with reproductive potential. In general, the greater the number of remaining eggs, the better the chance for conception. Conversely, low ovarian reserve greatly diminishes a patient’s chances for conception. Even before birth, a woman’s eggs begin to diminish in number. During the 20th gestation week, a female embryo contains about seven million eggs. At birth, the number of eggs has already dropped to about 250,000. The number of eggs continues to decline as the woman ages, until no eggs remain (menopause). For patients with low ovarian reserve, implantation rates of the embryo are generally poor and the possibility of successful pregnancy is very limited.
Assessment of ovarian reserve
Since a woman’s chronological age is the single most important factor in predicting a couple’s reproductive potential, age has often guided infertility treatment choices. However, age alone does not tell the whole story. Several methods have been developed to estimate the functional or biological age of the ovary. Since ovarian reserve can vary over time, any results suggesting limited ovarian reserve should be confirmed by further testing in subsequent months. It may be that inflammatory, infectious or autoimmune conditions are contributing to the abnormal results. Such potentially reversible causes of low ovarian reserve should be corrected, particularly 76 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 76
in younger woman. When further testing confirms compromised ovarian reserve, it is important to point out that the likelihood of success with infertility treatment is low. Consequently, researchers have developed (and are continuing to develop) more refined methods of predicting a couple’s response to infertility treatment. Some of the more sophisticated tools for assessing fertility potential include: • the measurement of hormones and specific markers in the blood • specific ultrasound measurement of the follicles in the ovaries • more specific functional blood examinations. When ovarian reserve is low, the best course of action for the physician is compassionate honesty. After all, time is precious by the time a couple reaches infertility specialists, so little can be gained by creating false hope or continuing down a fruitless path. It is recommended for all women above 30 years of age and who want to get pregnant and make a family in the future to determine their ovarian reserves before it is too late, and be sure that your physician or gynecologist has the corresponding experience to interpret the examined parameters of the suggested low ovarian reserves.

What makes Viva Mayr special?
Viva Mayr is a medical centre that helps to prevent diseases. They treat any complaints and diseases in a very individually way using the complementary medical field. It’s a centre to help people to help themselves and want to re-educate peoples eating habits to help them stay healthy. The medical team has five medical doctors, who guide guests through the therapies and see every guest every day for therapies. It is a very intensive medical treatment, and guests are advised on how to continue a healthy life style when they get home.
A cool new health and beauty treatment
Cryo Health, the GCC’s first cryotherapy spa, offers the UAE’s health and beauty conscious cold therapy treatments to improve skin tone, aid in muscle recovery and promote weight loss. A favourite beauty treatment of celebrities, and long-standing muscle therapy treatment of professional athletes, cryotherapy involves a painless freezing of the skin’s surface through exposure to extremely low temperatures (-120 to -160 degrees Celsius) for a short period of time. The treatment’s temporary cooling action encourages the immediate release of increased levels of endorphins and adrenaline as it improves blood flow circulation and accelerates the delivery of oxygen through the body. As an anti-ageing skin rejuvenation and weight loss therapy, the improved blood flow circulation and accelerated delivery of oxygen stimulates the skin’s collagen production as well as the individual’s metabolism to burn extra calories (up to 800 per treatment), resulting in improved skin texture and accelerated weight loss. As a powerful muscle recovery therapy, the treatment’s circulatory effects have long been used to reduce pain and inflammation while enhancing muscle strength. Visit www.cryo-health.com.
How much do our eating habits affect our life?
Obviously it is necessary to eat to stay alive, but eating is a procedure which has a very intensive impact on our life and to eat healthily means to prevent disease. If we eat the wrong foods, at the wrong time and in the wrong way it produces a lot of problems, toxins and diseases. As we all mostly eat a minimum of three times a day throughout our life it’s easy to understand that the right eating habits are one of the most important issues to protect our health. That is why they train people in correct eating habits. Visit www.viva-mayr.com for more information. If you have any questions for Dr Stossier relating to all health matters for adults and children please send them to editorial@connector-dubai.com. 78 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 78

Your Horoscope
LEO 23 Jul - 22 Aug
by Capella
AQUARIUS 20 Jan - 17 Feb
The new Moon in Leo on the 6th brings a fresh approach to life in general and lifts your spirits. There is plenty of opportunity to chat with partners, although if things don’t go your way around the 10/11th you should be able to have a second opportunity to discuss the matter on the 22nd, when a more pleasing result should be achieved.
If partners seem a little heavy handed and think they know best about something leave choices to them because they probably do. It isn’t as if you will have much spare time anyway to get involved, because there should be plenty of other things to occupy your time. A surprising request for help should keep you fully employed.
VIRGO 23 Aug - 22 Sep
PISCES 18 Feb - 19 Mar
Venus should bring relief in a financial house after the 17th when you could use your own initiative in planning outings for costly youngsters. Your solar ruler, Mercury, moves into Virgo on the 24th - not that it will be communicatively helpful in resolving the mood of wistful partners, who are not likely to be in a talkative frame of mind for awhile.
You may not be taking life seriously whilst you are feeling light headed and enjoying a lot of fun and laughter in glamorous situations in early August, but be aware that by the time of the full Moon in Pisces on the 21st and after, you may be taken in by someone with tales of misery. The only help you need to give is to listen and agree with them.
LIBRA 23 Sep – 22 Oct
If you are experiencing a lot of nervous energy now would be a good time to join an arts and craft movement or develop a hobby which you could later enjoy in some isolation, i.e. a peaceful domestic situation. The 14/15th would be good days to speak up for yourself, or to put yourself forward, if nobody else has done so in a group activity.
Changes in the home are indicated while Pluto, the planet of rebirth, is in the domestic area of your chart making challenging aspects to numerous planets. Modifications will happen eventually regardless of needy partner’s opinions. Expect a lot of support from friends who offer good company before final arrangements come to fruition.
SCORPIO 23 Oct - 21 Nov
An opportunity may be of interest, or occur, for you to work with speech, language or writing on an overseas project and may involve going on a long haul journey. If this does not happen seriously consider taking a study course where you can express your opinions. Who knows, they say everyone of us has a book in them and you may excel.
SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov - 21 Dec
If legal or financial worries are concerning you plan ahead for every likely eventuality and hopefully you won’t get caught up in morbid fantasies. Lively youngsters who may seem positively eccentric in their enthusiasm to enjoy life should help inspire you to get out and about and bring a different perspective to any problems.
CAPRICORN 22 Dec - 19 Jan
The time between the 3rd and 13th are days when busy bee partners with an enormous amount of energy and enthusiasm for life are likely to alter the way you live or value things in your domestic life. A steadying influence may come from a sedate and elderly friend who may offer kindly support and calming advice - take it. 80 | AUGUST Connector Connector Master Layout - August 2013.indd 80
ARIES 20 Mar - 19 Apr
TAURUS 20 Apr - 20 May
You are on a learning curve, quick witted, a good speaker and on a quest for knowledge. You are likely to feel obliged to seek the company of other people and in so doing find yourself travelling to and fro on numerous short journeys. There is an opportunity to pick up a lot of very useful information you can put to good use.
GEMINI 21 May - 20 Jun
It never pays to flash money about and particularly not now whilst four planets sit in your chart in a financial house. Obviously you can expect to be doing some wheeling and dealing financially, so try to keep this low key else you may even find sudden friendships and attachments occurring and you wouldn’t want it to be for the wrong reasons.
CANCER 21 Jun - 22 Jul
Numerous planets still in Cancer keep you busy and on top of things, although there may be some difficulty in being self-sufficient. Youngsters may not do what you expected and the shock and surprise will soon wear off and you may even feel positively enlightened. There is no point in being obsessive about something which cannot be changed. www.mydubaiconnection.com 7/25/13 9:07 AM
