Charity Gala Dinner for Operation Smile (Ladies ONLY)

Dear Ladies, 

We have been invited to a Charity Gala Dinner in which all the proceeds go to Operation Smile org. in Abu Dhabi. For those of you have never heard of them, they basically have pro-bono (they work for free) surgents who operate on children born with a cleft (which is a deformity of the upper lip)and basically these doctors operate to give these children the ability to smile and eat properly inorder to lead healthy lives. The university will provide a bus service from campus to and from the event which will start at 8:00PM and end at 11:00PM. 

If you would like to register for this event, you would have to go to the Student Affaire office, pay a fee of 100aed that will go to this non profit organisation. there is indeed a deadline which is Thursday 2nd of May 2013. 

The Charity Gala Dinner will take place the 5th of May 2013 !!

We are "ASSUMING" that its a black tie event since the word GALA DINNER is mentioned, we are also told that there will be a live orchestra playing in between the courses "meals", and that there are some activities during the event. 

We hope that you will support this wonderful cause. 

Student Council 

Here is a little bit of information on Operation Smile: 

Every three minutes a child somewhere in the world is born with a cleft. One in 10 will die before their first birthday. Many of the children who survive live their lives in shame, hiding their faces because of this tragic deformity. Operation Smile was founded on the belief that no child should suffer or die because of a facial deformity.

Operation Smile is an international children’s charity committed to saving lives and allowing children with clefts to smile properly for the first time. We do this by providing free surgeries and after care to those affected. Since our founding in 1982 we have provided more than 200,000 free surgeries to children and young adults around the world and over 2 million comprehensive healthcare evaluations.

Operation Smile UAE is a new Foundation. We have been established since January 2011 and have so far been involved in the following missions:

·         Amman, Jordan (Dec 2010)

·         Fez, Morocco (March 2011)

·         Cebu and Davao, Philippines (Feb/March 2011)

·         Mumbai, India (Feb/March 2012)

·         Wenshan, China (March 2012)

·         In June 2012 we are funding a mission to Amman, Jordan, where we plan to operate on 120 children.

We have held several fund raising events in the UAE which have helped to raise much needed funds. We also have a busy program of volunteer recruitment as we credential and mobilise medical volunteers for attending overseas missions. In addition to this we have recruited hundreds of volunteers with a wide variety of other expertise to help with every aspect of our organisation.

As well as raising funds to carry out overseas missions we put a lot of effort into creating a big social impact here in the UAE. We work hard to increase awareness and raise our profile, to inspire action and to actively participate in our local health communities.

In the short time we have been active we have developed close ties with schools, universities, hospitals and businesses. We have an exciting and busy agenda in the coming weeks and months and we invite you to join us as we seek to bring new smiles to more faces!

THE REEM ISLAND MALL

We remember when PSUAD first opened the doors of their NEW CAMPUS to their wonderful SORBONNIANS about 3 years ago, and we also remember that the PSUAD was the only fully functional structure on the Island. Apart from that, We are sure that everyone already forgot the days where the bridge was not ready for cars to go over, and the amount of construction there used to be make the roads what it looks like today "We're sure everyone refers to those days as the days where Reem Island didn't have radars ahhaha" but looking back at how much has changed on Reem Island in just three years its unbelievable, we now have a resident supermarket "waitrose", Saloon, Pharmacie, RESTAURANTS and our very own central perk AKA La Brioche that has become the go to cafe for most SORBONNIANS. Although allot of people have forgotn that when the Island Of Reem "OPENED" they "the developers" announced that one of the projects will include THE REEM ISLAND MALL, at the time we thought it was myth, its said to be even bigger than DUBAI Mall ... Anyhow we found their official website, that includes a gallery of what the infrastructure will/might look like. However, we have been searching all over the website to find a report on when they might finish or start to build .... E

CREAMFIELDS ABU DHABI 2013, EARLY BIRD TICKETS !!!

Hey all, 

Everyone NEEDS to experience CREAMFEILDS at least onces or twice in a life time. We remember the first CreamFeilds experience we had was in 2010 with David Guetta playing till we saw the SUNRISE, okay granted that was not supposed to happen ... there were some unfortunate events whereby Mr. Guetta was detained when he landed in Abu Dhabi. Meaning he arrived late, he arrived when his show was scheduled to end which was around 2:00am, Imagine a huge crowed of people waiting for him to arrive till 2:30am "keeping in mind this was the time we were supposed to be heading home" and finally he came, and he played and gave us a FULL THROTTLE SHOW till about 5:45am !!!!! it was an amazing experience over all. And we recommend that you get your early bird tickets from now, because tickets get rather pricey and run out months before the event !!!

Blood Donation April 17th 2013

Good Morning to ALL, 

We know the posters have been all over campus with a date sometime in March. All we know is there seemed to be a misunderstanding when the scheduling was made, but anyhow no harm done. The "BLOOD SUCKERS" will be arriving tomorrow for SURE !!! 

So for any of you who would like to donate blood and save lives please do. I am not sure but i heard they give u a lollypop right after :P. 

And before we forget to inform you, unlike last year where the donation of blood took place in the infirmary, this year it will be in a donation bus, that will be parked by the fountain in front of the university.  

bonjour à tous,

Nous savons que les affiches ont été tous mises à l’université d'un jour de Mars. Tout ce que nous savons, c'est qu'il semble d’y avoir un malentendu lorsque la programmation a été faite, mais de toute façon pas de mal. Les "suceurs de sang" arrivera demain pour VOUS!

Donc, pour quelqu'un d'entre vous qui aimeraient donner du sang et sauver des vies vous pouviez le faire demain a 12hr jusqu’au 17hr. On ne sais pas mais on a entendu dire qu'ils donnent des sucettes juste après : P. 

Et avant que nous oublions de vous informer, contrairement à l'année dernière où le don de sang a eu lieu à l'infirmerie, cette année, il sera dans un bus de donation  qui sera stationné près de la fontaine en face de l'université.

TEDxPSUAD April 29th 2013

Hey all, sorry we haven't updated the blog since SpringBreak. We're having a hard time readjusting to the uni schedule all over again :(. How was your springbreak? We've been hearing allot of PSUAD students travelled back home to visit family some went in groups to visit neighbouring countries, and well the "others" either stayed in the lovely capital city of Abu Dhabi and other just went across the desert to Dubai :)... either way we hope you had the best spring break. 

SO back to business, for a couple of months now we've been back and forth with this awesome project, and we're so excited that its finally coming to life. PSUAD is HOSTING IT'S VERY FIRTS TEDX !!! so for those of you, who have no idea what TEDx is all about here is a lil info on it. 

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's missions, "ideas worth spreading". The program is designed to give communities, organisations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED- Like experience at the local level. 

AT TEDx events, a Screening of TEDtalks videos -- or a combination of live presenters and TED talks videos -- sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated  independently, on a community-by-community basis. 

ALSO to increase your TEDx "WISDOM" ... We will be sharing "daily" a TEDx video in our video bar located somewhere at the top of this blog, so you have an idea of what you might experience during this great event.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Happy Sunday to ALL, 
I am sure Sundays are the longest days of the week, especially after a great weekend.. but eventually we all have get use to our uni schedule. 
SO appart from it being the Francophone Month, theres this really cool conference/ workshop happening tomorrow (25th of march 2013). 
Its a health and safety workshop starting at 6:00pm till 7:00pm in the Richelieu Amphitheater. I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to find the medications I normally take (US Based drugs) and well for me most of the Medication in the UAE are all different, and certain Drugs in the UAE are prescribed drugs where as in the US there over the counter drugs.And apart from that my mom usually knows whats best for me, but considering shes not here to help me out, or even when she advises me, I would never find the same type of Medication here in the UAE. SO I think its a really interesting conference not only health wise but also Legally ... :D SO this might interest certain SOON to be LAWYERS @PSUAD if your interested in the penal side of things and would like to know what drugs are considered illegal in the UAE heres your chance to know more on the UAE drug policy. 

The conference is being held by Dr. Ali Al Marzooqi who is the directer of Public Health and Research. The workshop/ conference's goal is to spread proper Drug education in UAE.

Spanish Prof looking for Arabic students for her research

Dear all, 

Our Spanish Prof is looking for some Arab/ Arabic speaking student from certain ethnic groups for a certain Linguistics research on arabic dialects. Complete anonymity will be provided for those of you are willing to spare sometime for this research (meaning ur identity(name, face, video, picture, voice) will not be disclosed for public use or commercial use etc.)its sole propose it for education and research. 

anyhow here is her message/ request...   

Dear students,

I am currently conducting an international research on Arabic sociolinguistics with the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Universidad Autónoma and Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain.

For my research I will need 200 Arab female students with English and French as foreign languages.

I started the data collection last academic year. However, I do not have participants from the following nationalities (with Arabic as mother tongue): Somalia, Libia, Yemen, Saudi, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Sudan, Algeria, Tunisia and Jordan.

I am really interested in finding female participants from Malta and Uzbekistan ( only those who speak the Arabic dialect from Uzbekistan). We currently do not have students from these nationalities at PSUAD so I will need to find participants from outside the University.

The means of data collection are muted videos. The student will create the dialogue between the characters that appear in the video. The dialogue will be in Colloquial Arabic. The data collection procedure will take one hour. I will assure the participants' anonymity in future publications. Results of the research will be presented in international symposiums on Arabic linguistics and published in journals.

This study will be followed by a second research on sociolinguistics that will be conducted with the Department of Applied Linguistics at Universidad Antonio de Nebrija, Madrid. The data collection for the second research will take place in September 2013.

I will really appreciate your participation. The data collection will take place on Tuesday 26 March in classroom 4.113 4.115 from 15:00 to 17:00. For those who have classes at this time, I will be teaching from 17.00 to 19.00 in classroom 4.137. Please feel free to contact me by e mail or to pass by my class in order to arrange other dates for the data collection.

Thank you very much

Regards,

Dr. Ana Ramajo Cuesta

Red Bull X-Fighters Back this YEAR in DUBAI

The Tallest Building in the World to Witness the Return of Red Bull X-Fighters.

After hosting the season opener for 2 consecutive years, Dubai (UAE) will be the 2nd destination in 2013 for the 12 riders! And changing from the sandy beach and iconic Jumeirah Beach Residence towers, on April 12, it is the unique Burj Khalifa that will witness action, thrill and excitement of the Red Bull X-Fighters.

From its 828m height, or its 160 stories, the tallest building in the world is the heart of Dubai where the modern city and the - not so far -desert meet.

In 2012, it was Josh Sheehan who made the “Mission – Possible” by introducing the FMX World to this elite area called “DownTown Dubai” by performing a memorable teaser jump at the base of Burj Khalifa.
2011 Champion Dany Torres also had his share of thrill when he rode his bike on the helipad of the great Burj Al Arab, overlooking Burj Khalifa itself.

In 2013, it is all 12 Red Bull X-Fighters riders that will perform in front of the #incREDiBULL backdrop, supported by 18.000 cheering fans.

This first started out as the thing to do in Dubai some randome weekend, but it seems like now AbuDhabians have the upper hand this time around, they've taken the up high craned dinner table to the Shangri-La Hotel Qaryat Al Bari, with a spectacular view of Abu Dhabi's city horizon and not forgetting Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque !!!
