Jobs

 

Emirati Youth Forum in January 2013 is in exhibition that attempted in Abu Dhabi to do a survey about UAE youth and jobs to collect information. In a live voting session, 30 per cent of participants said opportunity for growth is an important factor when considering a job offer; 20 per cent said learning new skills was the top factor; while 18 per cent said work environment and culture; only 10 per cent said they will consider the salary first. A mere 2 per cent said working hours. Voting results also showed that students believe that working in the privet sector will present more demand than working for government.  Managers think that Emirati youth only consider salary and working hours, but a survey showed nearly 70 per cent of respondents consider factors other than salary and benefits to be more important when considering a job.  The survey, which was conducted in the capital as part of an Emirati youth forum, revealed that 30 per cent of the university students and fresh graduates polled place most importance on growth and promotion opportunities when selecting a job. Among the jobs on offer at the event were 1,000 positions from oilfield companies, positions at the Standard Chartered Bank, positions at oilfield services firm Petrofac, and 15 jobs at Oasis Hospital in Al Ain.

(Houbara)

 

UAE Houbara birds has been decreased in it numbers , and there is many factors that cased that, one of the factors is that people start to destroy it neutral habitat by building city’s and village. Another factor is that UAE people they hunt the Houbara by falcons, it a tradition sport, even when the Houbara is not the falcons prey. The exhibition of Hubara (IFHC) is mad to give all the visitors an idea about the UAE culture and its culture sport of camel, hoarse and falcons. The exhibition also distributed a survey to know how many Huabara bird will be needed to be bred and to collect the information they needed. IFHC bred more than 13,000 Asian chicks this year, 5,373 chicks in new Sheikh Khalifa Houbara center, and 7,732 at the National Avain research center. UAE have two other Hubara Nature reserve in Morocco and Kazakhstan. It a big leap from 2,726 chicks bred last year, thanks to the transfer of 5,000, including 3,000 breeding birds, from the two IFHC center. One of the best idea’s that been shared in the exhibition is to eliminate the black market of Hubara.

How do Gulf corals beat the heat?


How do Gulf corals beat the heat?

 

The corals in Abu Dhabi’s coastal water survive, because they managed to beat the heat. Algae produce sugar that provids up to 90 per cent of the coral’s energy and in return, the coral provides shelter, nutrients and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Algae and corals rely on each other to survive, so if one dies the other one won’t be able to feed itself. The coral essentially spit out the zooxanthellae to protect itself. The coral can live off its fat reserves for a week, but after that it need to take the algae back in or it will die. The coral’s white skeleton is made of calcium carbonate, the same substance as human bones, and is sensitive to changes in water chemistry. Corals reproduce in one of two ways, ether fragmentation or larval production. When a piece of coral breaks off, it rolls across the sand, lands somewhere else and starts growing. Larval production occurs in massive spawning events, when countless billions of tiny, 1mm-long larval bulbs are released. They also have a little time to choose a home.
