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.
