note

can’t believe that another Ramadan and Eid are over, I always enjoy that time of year. It’s a good time to soak up some of the local culture and food, things always seem a little calmer and …let’s face it, who doesn’t love working Ramadan hours! The city won’t be back in ‘full swing’ until everyone returns from their summer hols and September starts. That’s not to say there’s nothing happening this month… Connector is hosting another one of our popular complimentary coffee mornings and this one’s perfect for mums and tots (dads are more than welcome too!) as it’s at Modhesh World. Enjoy free access and make the most of the air-conditioned fun. This issue is packed with all our usual great stories, dining offers and beauty treats, so make the most of it! I’m off to the UK for a couple of weeks but don’t forget you can follow me on Instagram at Connector_Dubai. Au revoir, mà as salam and goodbye… for now! Enjoy!

Louise Carne Editor of Connector Magazine

20 | AUGUST Connector

www.mydubaiconnection.com

What brought you to Dubai? My husband was offered a job in Abu Dhabi. He accepted and was gone within a month, so I just followed him out here! Before that, we’d been travelling for quite a while and had just got back to the UK, so it wasn’t as much of an upheaval as you might think. Due to the transient nature of life in Dubai and not really settling into my first job, it didn’t feel like home at first. That was when I started rescuing cats, and now I have 3 cats and a horse; it feels a lot more like home!

lot happening in Dubai and it’s difficult to keep everyone happy and make it to everyone’s event, especially when things are on at the same time and at opposite ends of the city!

What was a standout moment in your career? Being promoted to editor in 2012. We made changes to the look, feel, content and distribution of the magazine. It was really satisfying to get the next issue out and see my ideas and the transformations become reality.

How did you get into your profession?

And in your life?

My background is in marketing and events, but I’ve always had a passion for writing and took some creative writing classes in my youth. My plan was always to combine my background with my passion, so when the position of deputy editor came up at Connector, I went for it.

Getting my first horse! I’ve been riding for years and always wanted my own horse. Her name is Bella and she’s an Arabian ex-endurance horse, so obviously she goes brilliantly in the desert. However, I am also teaching her to jump and do a bit of dressage.

Describe a typical day.

What advice would you have for anyone wanting to get into your field?

Chaotic! I usually have a meeting with the team to discuss editorial ideas and spend the rest of the day answering emails and phone calls and sifting through and editing press releases to see what’s relevant to our readers. We tend to focus on things that are current, because Connector prides itself on keeping our readers connected to what’s going on in Dubai each month. I also attend events and product launches and write reviews for restaurants and spa treatments. In addition to that, I also write articles and proof read.

What’s the best thing about your job? The perks of trying out spas and restaurants and getting to be the first to know about products and openings - that’s great! But I also find that the work itself is quite therapeutic. Even though every day is completely different, there are elements that are the same, and after a crazy day, I find it quite comforting to just sit down and edit something to fit the magazine or write something fresh.

You’ve got to have the passion and the drive, but more than anything, you’ve got to take some time out for yourself. There’s potential to burn out quickly in Dubai, so don’t try to do everything at once. There are always going to be other opportunities. Remember that your readers rely on, and trust your judgment, which is why I’m very careful with the content of the magazine. And enjoy it! That’s what it’s all about.

What is your motto? Climb mountains so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.

And the worst? Trying to be in multiple places! I used to try and attend two or three different events in a morning, but you just can’t do it. There’s such a www.mydubaiconnection.com

Join Fear of Flying course @ iPilot With my summer holiday quickly approaching, I have been researching how to overcome my fear of flying. I love to travel and being abroad for the summer is the highlight of my year. My only problem is getting to my destination! I have read every self-help website and book that exists, none of which seemed to relieve my fear. I decided the only thing left was to try a ‘fear of flying’ course with iPilot, where you can ask a qualified pilot numerous questions to try and help put your mind at ease.

for a complimentary family

Coffee Morning at Modhesh World on Monday 4th August! To reserve your FREE tickets email events@connector-dubai.com.

What’s involved? Firstly, the pilot assessed what my fear was exactly. I have no fear of heights or being in the plane itself; my fear is of storms while flying, turbulence and - the worst thing imaginable - a crash. The pilot then explained the procedures involved in flying a plane, the common noises and bumps, the technology and systems they have in place to deal with emergencies and prevent collisions. I also had the chance to experience a take off and landing and how they overcome storms, wind, rain and snow. The pilot also showed me that the plane would still operate normally with one engine.

What are the results? Now, I look forward to my next flight. iPilot has shown me the process of flying and how modern technology makes it safe, allowing me to sit back, relax and enjoy. I cannot thank the pilot, Jacek Maciejewski, enough as he helped me overcome this fear. I was completely reassured by how well trained and knowledgeable he was. Now when boarding, I know I’m in safe hands!

How Much? The course costs Dhs 999. The iPILOT Fear of flying course is available at iPILOT Dubai Mall. Email dubai@flyipilot.com or call 056-7387444. -V.H. 24 | AUGUST Connector

A guide to selling your property

ollowing the hype of Dubaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic Expo 2020 win, many property owners in Dubai are now seeking to lock in profits from the notable rise in the market. In order to maximise your financial gain on the sale of your property, it is vital that you select the right agent and marketing strategy, and that you fully understand the process.

Step 1: Select your agent and listing price

When selecting your agent, it is important that you choose a company that has the optimum marketing capabilities and reputation in order to give your property the best exposure. Many sellers list their property with multiple agencies, but it is more effective to choose an agent on an exclusive basis. There are several benefits to this,

34 | AUGUST Connector

but the main one is that multiple agents list the same properties on the portals, which gives potential buyers the impression that there is more supply on the market than there actually is, and they therefore feel like they are in a stronger negotiating position. Once you have chosen the right agency, RERA now requires that you sign Form A in order to formalise the relationship between yourself and your agent. You should provide the agent with a copy of your title deed, passport and details of viewing arrangements. You must then decide on your list price. Here, it is important that you receive data containing recent similar transactions from your agent, who can give you a clear picture of where the market is currently trading. If you list notably above the market level, it is unlikely that you will be able to sell your property in your desired time scales.

www.mydubaiconnection.com

Step 2: Marketing

Your agent will undertake the marketing on your behalf, free of charge. As a seller, it is important to ensure that your property is receiving appropriate coverage in all of the major portals, such as Property Finder, Dubizzle and Just Rentals. Additionally, check that your property is getting website exposure and is being listed in print media channels such as Gulf News. You must ensure your property is available for viewings on a flexible basis, and you should ideally provide your agent with a key (if the property is vacant). This will speed up the sale process.

Step 3: Offers and price negotiation

If your property is correctly priced, you will then begin receiving offers, either verbal or written. Your agent will undertake negotiations with buyers on your behalf once the offers come in. Ensure you remain in regular dialogue with your agent, as the market is regularly changing and if you are not receiving any calls then you may need to reconsider your list price.

Step 4: The sales agreement

A sales agreement, otherwise known as an MOU or a RERA Form F, is then generated once a price and the additional terms have

Remember, unlike many western markets, there are typically no lawyers involved in property transactions here in Dubai, so it is essential you read the contract carefully and that you trust the agent you are dealing with. As a seller, you will sign and a 10% deposit cheque will be written in your name and typically held by the agent until transfer.

Step 5: The transfer process

Following the MOU, the process will vary based on whether it is cash to cash, financed buyer and cash seller, cash buyer and financed seller, or finance to finance. The process can take anywhere between two and eight weeks, so it is important to be organised and manage your expectations in terms of time. Once all of the financing logistics have been arranged, you must ensure that you have cleared all your outstanding payments to the developer in order to generate a No Objection Certificate (NOC). Once obtained, you can then transfer the title deed into the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name at one of the Lands Department centres to finalise the transaction. You will receive your payment in the form of a managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheque. Simon Kennedy is Director of Dubai-based real estate firm Edwards and Towers. He is a Chartered Surveyor, having trained and qualified in London, and holds an Executive MBA from Cass Business School and a Real Estate MSc from Reading University.

r e s o l c t Ge ur to yo

Eight ways to help your family find a refuge from the storms of life’s events.

1. Make family your top priority

Close families get that way because they have chosen to make family life their number one priority. If you decide your kids come before your sales quota or bridge game, you will find all the other pieces (of parenting) fall into place. When you put your kids first, you’re getting the most out of your time on earth.

2. Spend time with your kids

There is no substitute for spending time with your children. Just as friendships need time to nurture and bond, the same is true for family relationships. Children cherish special time alone with a parent. These memories are happy ones because they recall times when a parent was totally in the moment and solely focused on being with the child, one on one.

3. Never neglect these three important words

Close families know the healing power of forgiveness. They often say these three words: Please forgive me! Or I forgive you! They know that forgiveness has the power to warm the heart while cooling the sting. Within a family, forgiveness serves as a cleansing agent. It purges the family of anger, bitterness, hostility, animosity, grudge-bearing and lingering resentment. Thus, 36 | AUGUST Connector

kids

it is vital that parents set the family tone by extending and asking for forgiveness. When you make a mistake, lose your temper, fail to meet one of your responsibilities that involve a child, and so forth, make an obvious point of apologising to the child and asking for his/her forgiveness.

4. Establishing and maintain family rituals

Rituals are the glue of family life. Today, they play an ever-increasing role as family time becomes more difficult in our complex and hectic society. Along with the traditional major family rituals such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, establish and maintain equally important smaller rituals such as common family meals together, birthday celebrations, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, a Sunday afternoon hike, visits to the grandparents. For instance, one family fell into the habit of going out on Fridays for pizza with their two teenage children. It was a way to end the busy week by having a meal everyone liked nothing more significant than that. But over the years, pizza outings became part of their sense of being a family, giving them time for conversation and connection.

5. Be available

No matter how busy you are with your job and other responsibilities, let your children know you are always available for them. Close families operate on the understanding that members can call on each other or interrupt schedules when necessary. John E. Obedzinski, M.D., a behavioural paediatrician in California, www.mydubaiconnection.com

tells of being summoned from a university conference by a call from his older daughter, then about four. “We had just moved to a home in the country with a stream on the property,” he explains. “Alarmed, I hurried to the phone. ‘The salmon running!’ Mariska told me. She wanted someone to share her excitement. Such special moments simply can’t be scheduled,” Dr Obedzinski says.

6. Teach children to love and feel loved

Loving smiles, loving words, loving actions, loving thoughts, loving gestures within a family create an emotionally healthy home where all the members express and experience closeness because of that love. Nothing is as important to a child’s feelings of self-worth as the knowledge that he is unequivocally loved by the people who are important in his life. Many mistakes that we might make as parents can be overcome if our children have this knowledge. Love to a child is like sunshine to a flower, like water to a thirsty plant, like honey to a bee. Your children need to know beyond any doubt that they are lovable, and that you love them.

Thankfully, the survey respondents also remembered the best things adults said to them. Some of those “bests” include: “You can do anything you choose to do.” “You’re very smart.” “I’m so glad we’ve got you.” “Congratulations! You deserve this!” “You’re beautiful.” “You’re more responsible than a lot of adults I know.” “I believe in you.” “I love you!”

8. Praise your kids privately and publicly

Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing. Always try to speak in ways that affirm and assure, not attack and abuse, your children. How we speak to each other within families will either pull people together or push them apart. When you speak, choose and use your words wisely, because they have a lingering power. Consider this partial list of the “Worst Things an Adult Ever Said to a Child” - phrases compiled from an informal survey of adults in the recently published The Parent’s Little Book of Lists, by Jane Bluestein:

Words of praise are verbal sunshine. Just as we are drawn to people who shower us with compliments and praise, children are drawn closer to parents who are generous in praising them. Along with complimenting your children privately at home, be sure to sing their praises publicly as well. Consider the love and affirmation the children of film director Ron Howard must have felt when reading this response to a reporter who asked him to describe his ideal vacation: “I find car trips to be the greatest. Just driving down the road, talking to the kids, listening to the radio, explaining things, hearing what they have to say, talking to my wife, hitting the motel, jumping in the pool, watching a little television. I get a week of that and I come away stimulated, ready to work, full of ideas”. Surely Howard’s children, upon reading his answer, would feel highly affirmed and loved to learn his “ideal vacation” is a week spent with family, talking and listening, swimming, and watching television together; that his renewal and stimulation come directly from time with family.

“You’ll never amount to anything.” “I wish I’d never had you.” “You’ll never be college material.” “Why can’t you be more like your (brother or sister)?” ”Your mother and I wouldn’t be getting divorced if it weren’t for you.” “I love you, but…”

Ultimately, by working to cultivate closeness within your family, you effectively create a peaceful, harmonious home life where members experience love and support, as well as find refuge from the storms of life. Close families know the truth and wisdom of these words from German philosopher Johann Goethe: “He is happiest, be king or peasant, who finds peace in his home”.

CHILD’S PLAY D

ecorating your child’s bedroom is a great way to give them a place they can call their own. Nowhere else in the home can you mix and match a variety of paint schemes along with creative stencils, stickers, sparkles and get away with it. Best of all, your kids can be involved in transforming their room into their own special zone.

Walls - Turn walls in a giant canvas. Paint is the perfect solution and least expensive way to create a kaleidoscope impact while offering unlimited colour options. Just changing one wall or adding stripes, borders, sponge or stamping techniques can bring new life to an ordinary room. Use wavy or splat design patterns, or turn one wall into a mural effect. Choose a bright base and pick accent colors to achieve the best effects. Ceiling - Create a magical night sky on the ceiling with glow in the dark decorations. These can be fun and even comforting for your child to be able to lie in bed and gaze up at the night stars. Doors - Use wooden letters that spell

your child’s name and glue them on the door. Painting them in the theme colour of the room will dress up the door nicely. Closet door hardware can be replaced with wiggly 38 | AUGUST Connector

handles or their favourite cartoon character. By matching the door hardware with wall plates, you can carry the pattern throughout the room that accents their style.

Furniture - If the room is big enough, by using an ordinary bookcase as separation, you can create a separate play area away from the bed. Furniture can also be painted with bright colours that match your child’s style and add features such as cutout doors for a doll house or castle effect. Add texture materials to one or two compartments that create a window or door-like feature. When your child has outgrown the design, you can easily remove the materials and doors and replace them with the original materials that you saved. Shelves - Shelving is the least expensive way to de-clutter and organise a room. Paint with the same colours or add design features with stencil or stamps. Different shelve designs can also be used to border a window that eliminate the need for expensive window treatments. Accessories - Large cork boards can quickly turn a bare wall into a busy space. Cork boards also eliminate holes in walls from nails or tacks that later need to be repaired. Wooden picture frames can be painted to help accent the room. www.mydubaiconnection.com

Teacher of the MONTH Name: Michael Embley Nationality: British How long have you been teaching? Since the mid-Jurassic period! Why did you decide to become a teacher? I wanted to do something useful and I have no regrets. How would you describe your teaching style? I would hope that it is varied. I don’t think the job of a teacher is to entertain, but having a lesson that entertains is not a bad thing. The distinction is subtle but very important, I think. Your best moment as a teacher? Results day, two years ago. A student who had worked extremely hard to overcome some difficult and tragic personal circumstances did even better than they hoped for. Your worst moment? A school inspector walked into a lesson of mine as a first year teacher to find me arm-wrestling a student. To be fair, it was a physics lesson on forces and leverage but the inspector’s face made it clear that he didn’t approve of my teaching methods. One sentence of advice to parents? The teacher is your friend and they want to do well for your child. Be positive with them and this will be passed on to your child. One sentence of advice to someone wanting to enter the profession: It’s hard work and you have to be ‘on’ all the time in front of children, but it will delight you every day if you let it. What would be your life quote? Laugh at yourself first. A funny story from the classroom: My favourite, as it just made me laugh, was from my teacher training year. The biggest, toughest lad in the school put his hand up in maths class late in the year. What he meant to say was “Mr Embley how do you solve this”. What he said was “Dad how do you solve this”. The whole class, including me I must admit laughed… but the best bit was the lad, who would have responded poorly before, laughed at himself as well. I think that’s a real skill in life. He went on to do good things and I like to think, in small part, I helped steer him on the right course. Mike Embley is Principal of Nord Anglia International School Dubai. 40 | AUGUST Connector

Third culture kids

ringing your child to be educated in Dubai will change him forever. “Hi, Mum. Meet my new friends. They’re from Australia, Germany and Oman.” When you meet your child’s new classmates you are thrilled at the globally cosmopolitan lifestyle you have made accessible to him. When he translates an Arabic word in the mall you are proud and a bit amazed. And you find it funny that he knows his way around international airports better than train stations back home. He’s a ‘third culture kid’: “A person who has spent a significant part of his/her developmental years outside of the parents’ culture.” (Pollock/Van Rekan, 2009). Dubai is full of them, though they are rare in the small town back home. TCKs tend to do well at school. They are good listeners, coping maturely with conversations with your own adult friends. They are likely to be geographically aware and to show cross cultural understanding, feeling personally connected to different countries and peoples. On the other hand, they often feel different, hence their gravitation to each other. Although they adapt readily to new environments (watch them fit into a newly-met group of youngsters on holiday) they can feel a little detached from their original home when back for the summer holidays. Is this good or bad? As with anything in life, your overseas adventure is what you make it. The important thing is to acknowledge that it will change your child.

Heat stroke in guinea pigs

Guinea pigs are extremely heat sensitive animals. They should be housed in an environment between 18 and 22ºC, considering that temperatures over 30ºC are not well tolerated and can develop into a fatal heat stroke. Heat stroke can strike quickly and symptoms to look for are:

Total apathetic. The animal will be lying flat on its tummy or side and will be unable to move. • Rapid pulse • Weakness • Drooling • Laboured and rapid breathing • Convulsions The best way to beat the heat stroke is to avoid it. Always provide plenty of cool fresh water. Make sure water bottles are filled and supply extra bottles if you have multiple guinea pigs. Indoor housing on hot days offers a cool, protected and sheltered environment. Air conditioners and fans can be used but never blow air directly into the cage as this can cause respiratory infections. Heat stroke can be exacerbated when guinea pigs are left in a confined area where they cannot control their own temperature. Make sure to provide adequate shade and proper ventilation all the time. 46 | AUGUST Connector

If temperatures rise frozen bottles or ice packs can be used in the cage, but always wrap in a tea towel to protect the skin; or place moist towels over the cage to create a shady cool area.

What to do if you discover your guinea pig has heatstroke?

First of all, don’t panic. Remove the animal from the environment and put it somewhere cooler while contacting the vet. Take a bowl with room-temperature water (cold water could send the guinea pig into shock) and spread some water behind the ears where there is no hair and the feet. Soak a towel in the water and wrap the animal in it. Offer water in a bowl or bottle but, do not try to force the animal to drink. These actions will help until you can get to a veterinary specialist, where the guinea pig will need special attention as rehydration and treatment.

My rescue story

Hi, my name is Cleeo and I was adopted by my loving family two years ago. I spent the first six months of my life in and out of the shelter. A nice lady adopted me when I was 4 months old but had to send me back because her older cat didn’t like me. My friends and I at the shelter weren’t taken care of very well; we were skinny and smelled quite bad. As much as I loved the friends I made there, I desperately wanted my own home to sleep and play in and a loving family to cuddle with. Which was why I did all that I could to grab my mum’s attention when she came to visit the shelter. I now live with my mum and her big family in their villa. I follow mum everywhere and when she’s not around, I sleep in her room and wait for her to return. I must admit that I’ve caused my family more trouble than they expected but their affection has never waivered. If anything, I think they love me more every time I break or scratch something new. They say I’m naughty, but I don’t think I am. I love it when they call me the queen of the house which, of course, I am! 48 | AUGUST Connector

BEAUTY & bodycare

Hydrafacial @ Beverly Hills Aesthetic & Medical Centre

You may call me a wimp but I’ve never been a fan of aggressive facials, no matter what the results. You’d never convince me to subject myself to something that will leave me red and peeling, which was why I loved the sound of the Hydrafacial, which prides itself on getting fantastic results… gently. It is ideal for all skin types and targets hyperpigmentation, oily/ congested pores, fine lines, and wrinkles. I went to see what all the Hydrafacial hype was about at the newly opened Beverly Hills Aesthetic & Medical Centre.

What’s involved?

The first step in the four-step procedure is the cleansing and exfoliation, which opens up the pores and removes the dead skin cells. Step 2 is the acid peel, which was gentle enough to create only a tingle even on my sensitive skin. Step 3 is the extractions. If, like me, you hate having it done, you’ll love this. A vortex-extraction nozzle is used that acts as a vacuum so it’s really gentle and there’s no being poked with a metal stick! Step 4 is the serum application using the vortex-fusion tool, which infuses an antioxidant-and-collagen-rich serum into the skin to promote elasticity and hydration.

What are the results?

Urban Retreat @ The Spa InterContinental Dubai Festival City The Spa InterContinental is a quiet sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. Its nature-inspired décor and Arabian subtleties create a calming feeling while the personalised treatments promise visible results and genuine renewal. The Signature Collection offers their most refined Spa Rituals; I was there to chill out with the Urban Retreat.

What’s involved?

The Urban Retreat includes a collection of power booster treatments using natural botanical ingredients aimed at refreshing and de-stressing both body and mind, which sounded good to me! I was shown to the treatment room, which was like a minisuite, and, after a consultation, I was left to change and relax. The treatment started with a body brushing to get the circulation going, which was followed by a body scrub and a very relaxing massage. Lastly, a facial was customised for my sensitive skin.

What are the results?

It was a bit tingly at times but didn’t hurt. Afterwards, my skin felt cool and was not red at all. My skin was softer, more hydrated, brighter. The wrinkles were reduced and the results lasted for days.

The scrub and massage were fantastic! It left my skin feeling really soft. The facial was perfect, very gentle but really effective. My face was glowing! I left feeling so relaxed and renewed.

How much?

Priced at Dhs 450, the Hydrafacial takes around 30 to 45 minutes.

Priced at Dhs 750, The Urban Retreat lasts for two hours.

Hiding behind

food

Enjoying food is one of the sensual pleasures of life, and comfort eating is something we all do to a degree. But if you are spending all of your spare time on the sofa watching television and munching through packets of biscuits and chips and eating takeaways, then you are heading for trouble. This kind of eating gives no comfort - it just causes your weight to rocket. 56 | AUGUST Connector

www.mydubaiconnection.com

f the highlight of your day is where the next meal is coming from, you are hiding behind food. If you are feeling depressed, visit your doctor for help in turning the corner and moving on. If you are using comfort eating as a method of coping with life, you need to stop and look at the source of your problem. There are two main sorts of comfort eating. One is to fill an emotional void. No one is taking care of your emotional needs, or you are not getting the support you need, or maybe, in childhood, you got into the habit of using food as a fix to cheer yourself up. For whatever reason, your needs were not being met, so you ate as a substitute for the love you needed. Or maybe you are so busy taking care of everyone else that you forget to ask for what you need. To put a stop to this kind of comfort eating, you need to deal not with the food issue, but go to the source of the problem. Ask yourself what you need; ask for help and reassurance when you need it; forgive yourself for your failings; be kind to yourself and feed yourself positive messages. If you can change what you can and accept what you cannot, the future is all yours. The second type of comfort eating stems from plain, simple boredom. Is there nothing more exciting in your life than what is on the television, and what you can eat? You deserve more. You need to get to the source of this as well. What is lacking? Is it your work? Is it being at home alone with the children? Is it the wheel of life that leaves you tired and bored? Make some changes - add some spice to your love life, take up a cause, or take up exercise. Only you can decide, but you need to make changes and move on to something more interesting than the highlight of your day being food.

Overeating disorders

Many eating disorders, like bulimia and anorexia, are now recognised as medical www.mydubaiconnection.com

conditions, but overeating is only just becoming considered by doctors, because the damage to the body is slower and more long-term. Margaret, an expatriate living in the Gulf says, “My husband had a good position as a financial controller and was always very busy. I didn’t work and could look after my two children myself. To everyone else, my life looked perfect and I appeared happy, but all I ever thought about was food. Food was my best friend, and food made any bad feelings just disappear. I had hidden supplies of food that I would eat when there was no one else around. When I was eating, I felt safe, and when I ate, I focused on the food like it was a fix. Outwardly, I was happy and cheery, and I always kept the peace at any price. Sometimes, I would panic over the weight I was putting on and so I would starve myself all day, and then in the evening I would eat everything I could find, which would lead me to feel disgusted with myself. During this time I joined diet clubs, and to the world, I pretended to eat moderately. I would get up and have a small breakfast with my family, but once they had left the house, I would sit down and eat more”. “Eventually, a friend recommended that I contact a therapist, and this was a real turning point. The therapist made me be honest with myself and face the fact that I had a problem and that I was burying my feelings for food. I was pretending that I had no feelings, and using food as my pay-off. I realised that the only way I could control the world I lived in was by creating a safe haven where I could eat and eat.” Her therapist helped Marianne find another way, instead of eating. It has taken a lot of hard work to change her habits, to talk to her husband, family and friends about her needs, and to try new things. Most of all, she has learned to accept that it is okay not to be perfect - it just makes you more interesting. Connector AUGUST | 57

Sunburn Doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts

Sunburn is the reddening of the skin resulting from overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation through the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UV rays. The initial signs of sunburn appear around five to seven hours after exposure and peak at 12 to 24 hours. However, the starting point is earlier and the severity more considerable with increased exposure. Remember, sunburn can happen in as little as 10 to 20 minutes.

fter a few hours of heavy sun exposure, you might see or feel tenderness and warmth in the skin, swelling, redness and, in severe cases, blistering, itching, rash and occasionally nausea, fever or chills. Several days later, it is common for the skin to peel, which can continue for several weeks. After sun exposure, the skin undergoes two changes - immediate and delayed darkening. Immediate darkening can occur within hours and delayed starts three to four days after exposure and lasts 10 to 15 days. Sunlight consists of two types of UV radiation UVB and UVA. Both UVB and UVA can cause freckling, skin wrinkling and the development of skin cancer. However, UVB is stronger and is the main cause of sunburn and skin cancer. 58 | AUGUST Connector

The World Health Organization recommends limiting time in the midday sun (10am and 4pm), and using proper sun protection such as hats and light-coloured clothing. Do not forget that premature ageing, wrinkling, age spots and skin cancer are the result of unprotected sun exposure, so even if it is cloudy, you are in your car or in the swimming pool, you are exposed to the hazardous rays. Sunburn does not only occur in hot weather, but also any light reflecting conditions such as snow, sand and water. When your skin is exposed to UV rays, it produces a pigment called melanin to help protect itself against the sunlight. However, this does not stop premature ageing and skin cancer. Immediate self-care includes covering exposed skin and getting out of the sun. Taking a cool shower/bath or placing a cold compress with water or Burow solution (available from pharmacies) on the area helps. In case of blistering, use a dry bandage and have a cool bath with no bath salts and avoid rubbing, shaving and scrubbing the skin. In addition, use high quality moisturisers which are lanolin and fragrance-free, drink plenty of fluids, use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry to avoid popping or breaking the blisters and then cover blisters with gauze. Continue your moisturising regimen while your skin is peeling and, most importantly, give your body a rest from the sun. If there are any signs of fever, rapid breathing, nausea, serious dehydration, heat stress or shock, call an emergency health centre without delay.

Preventing dehydration

for a safer summer During the hot summer months, we must take care to avoid the risk of dehydration, as it can lead to severe health problems and, in extreme circumstances, death.

ehydration is the excessive loss of body water which leads to complications in the body’s metabolism. Dehydration happens when water loss is greater than water intake and is usually due to excessive exercise or illness. However, in the hot summer months, the problem can be greater. Most people can afford to lose 3 to 4% of body water without a problem but a 5 to 8% loss can result in fatigue and dizziness, and more than 10% loss can lead to physical and mental deterioration, accompanied by severe thirst. A decrease of more than 15 to 25% is fatal. Mild dehydration generally leads to thirst and some discomfort and can usually be resolved by drinking water, electrolytes or juices. The human body loses water every day in the form of water vapour in the breath, sweat and urine. The problem can be made worse if there is no safe drinking water available. The symptoms of dehydration become increasingly severe the greater the water loss. In people over 50, the body’s thirst sensation diminishes and continues diminishing with age, so they may suffer symptoms more quickly without realising it. When the body does not have enough water, the kidneys try to conserve fluid and this can set off a chemical reaction that can lead to organ failure and even death in extreme cases. The signs of dehydration are clear during illness but when the danger is more related to the environment and heat exposure, it is more difficult to read the signs. 60 | AUGUST Connector

The main signs of moderate dehydration include a dry, sticky mouth, sleepiness and tiredness (children are less active than usual), thirst, decreased urine output, dry skin, headache, constipation, dizziness or lightheadedness. Severe dehydration can cause extremes of these symptoms plus sunken eyes, low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat and breathing, fever, and in more serious cases, delirium or unconsciousness. Thirst is not always a reliable gauge of the body’s need for water, especially in children and older adults. A better indicator is the colour of the urine; clear or light-coloured urine means you are well hydrated, whereas a dark yellow or amber colour usually signals dehydration. In the case of dehydration, rehydrate with small amounts of water or juices for younger and older members of the family. Caffeinated drinks such as tea and coffee are diuretics and increase dehydration, so these should be avoided. You can avoid dehydration by drinking sufficient water; for adults two to three litres of fluid per day (including water content in food). You can drink more water than the body needs if done in moderation. In the event of any sustained symptoms of dehydration, the person should be taken to the doctor quickly or even the emergency unit depending on the severity of the condition.

Your Horoscope

LEO 23 Jul - 22 Aug

by Capella

AQUARIUS 20 Jan - 17 Feb

The 10th and 25th are days when you need to be on your best behaviour in order to impress someone, which may be the last thing you really want to do. Venus, the planet of love and harmony, moves into Leo after the 12th and other people are bound to notice an increased radiance about you, so your attitude may bring the acclaim you deserve.

Numerous planets in your house of partners, both business and personal, indicate a lot of involvement with their interests and a possible heated exchange with the boss. If you are surrounded by youngsters heavily into electronic gadgets; join them by treating yourself to the latest updates and join in the fun of instant electronic communication.

VIRGO 23 Aug - 22 Sep

PISCES 18 Feb - 19 Mar

Hurray for the new Moon in Virgo on the 25th, which offers a fresh start or new beginnings of some sort, although you may feel a lot livelier than you have for a few weeks after the 16th, when your solar ruler Mercury also moves into Virgo. Something undercover may occur; perhaps a surprise or secret party for a special friend may keep you busy.

LIBRA 23 Sep - 22 Oct

The position of erratic Uranus in your house of partners indicates irrational behaviour is likely with either personal or business partners. Look to your numerous friends, who are all likely to want to support you and help to make a direct impact on your life. It’s the season for festive parties, so create an opportunity to mix business with pleasure.

SCORPIO 23 Oct - 21 Nov

With hot and energetic Mars in Scorpio squaring up to an inflationary Jupiter you don’t want to be known as badtempered, so a change of work environment might ease any pressure you may be feeling in a place of employment. Alternatively, just taking a walk before you let words turn into an angry dispute would save the day.

SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov - 21 Dec

A great number of people would enjoy your company if you would only go out to meet them, even if it means taking up the offer of a long haul journey. Indications of a very glamorous and exciting outing is indicated where you may have the opportunity of meeting young people who show you how to party. Alternatively, you may be the merrymaker.

CAPRICORN 22 Dec - 19 Jan

Some unusual domestic arrangements might have to be agreed, before either you or any partners shake off some heavy emotions in early August. An ideal time for enlightening discussions would be around the 22/23rd when you should be able to get to the bottom of any money issues. Someone is going to be surprisingly generous. 64 | AUGUST Connector

You probably think you couldn’t be busier if you tried, but do find time for romance. If you have not found the love of your life yet, look out for someone who communicates with verbal teasing around the 17th. Initially, you might not take them seriously, but they probably would like to be taken seriously - only you have been too busy to notice them.

ARIES 20 Mar - 19 Apr

You are in a powerful position with Pluto in the uppermost area of your chart to make progress and achieve your aims in life, so you shouldn’t be surprised at any success you achieve. A deep intense love interest could pull you off your chosen path, although you really should be able to combine the two – stay focused on your dreams.

TAURUS 20 Apr - 20 May

Domesticity or youngsters may keep you occupied, but with sexy Mars now in your house of partners, you should find energy for love and romance. If you clash with someone around the 8/9th, you can rest assured that, by the 25th, it will all be forgotten, when everyone will be too laid back in holiday mood and wanting to enjoy your company.

GEMINI 21 May - 20 Jun

Colleagues know you have the gift of the gab – so to speak – and are able to effectively air your views, which is not surprising with communicative Mercury as your solar ruler. You will certainly need your wits about you this month and be able to deal adequately with anyone who attempts to cross you. Just make sure you have got your facts straight.

CANCER 21 Jun - 22 Jul

If you are still licking wounds from a significant clash with a partner last month be reassured of more peaceful times as the planet of love, Venus, moves into the personal financial section of your chart after the 12th. A little traditional retail therapy should put everyone in a better frame of mind and leave everyone feeling very spoilt but happy. www.mydubaiconnection.com
