Youths put skills ahead of money

The massage of the youths in the Emirati Youth Forum was improving us and getting the job skills is more important than the money. They did a voting session and the result was as follows; the most voted to growing and promotion as the most important in a job offer and the lowest was the salaries and working hours. Also, in that Forum most of the attenders believed that working in the private sector is more demanding than working for the government. The biggest rate was seeing the private sector provide more challenges to their workers and some of the attenders see the opposite.

They were concerned about increasing the awareness of the private sector by making more job fairs, career guidance, workshops and offering sponsorship to the fresh graduates from the colleges or universities. Another survey of Emirati youth found that 70 per cent of respondents consider that the growing and promotion opportunities are more helpful than selecting a job based on the salaries or the benefits.

The UAE government did the annual Tawdheef show to let the youth merge with the public and private sector vacancies under the Emiratisation plan.  Most of the Emirati youth believe that the private sector does not always provide sufficient motivation for them.

cash loan boost for hydroponics farmers

Nowadays, the farmers in the UAE get support from the Government to convert their farms to hydroponics by giving them cash loans. Hydroponics allows them to use less water and get more yields and you can dispense with the soil so no more pesticides and fertilizer. The system involves a mix of the nutrients such as perlite, gravel, peat, sand, rockwool and others. The process of converting is expensive so the Khalifa Fund helps farmers to convert. The centre’s objective is to cover all farms in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in a year with this system. ADFSC is supporting this tactic in the Western Region and there are some of the fruits and vegetables can’t find in all seasons but now ADFSC expects to change that information and may ensure that you will find all the types of fruit and vegetables throughout the year.

How do Gulf corals beat the heat?

The waters in the Gulf are hot and it is strange when you think about the corals and how they beat the heat. In fact, the corals live in symbiosis with a type of algae that lives inside the coral’s tissue and the algae provides sugars to the coral and this is one of the reasons which let the corals beat the heat in the GCC countries. There is a problem: when anyone of them dies the others cannot live for a long time and without the green of the algae the coral can live for one week only. The skeleton in the coral is made of calcium carbonate that is the same as the people so carbonic acid affects on it but there are some kinds of enzymes that beat the oxidative stress and the heat stress. Corals reproduce in two ways through fragmentation or larval production.  After spawning events the small larvae take one week until they develop the ability to attach themselves to a rocky surface.
