Finding success on LinkedIn

If you have a teenager or young adult at home, you may have heard this frustration before. They’re told they need work experience to stand out when they apply for university or their first proper job. But actually finding that experience can be incredibly difficult. Where do you look? Who do you contact?  

Could part-time jobs become more common in the UAE? And what should both parents and employers know before saying yes? 

Schools are now back. So, are we actually noticing the difference on the roads? 

And we tend to judge a UAE summer by how hot it gets during the day, but scientists are increasingly concerned about what happens after sunset.

Helping teens get their first job experience

The Trump administration has temporarily paused immigrant visa appointments at US embassies and consulates around the world. So what does this mean for applicants here, and could the UAE become more attractive as US immigration becomes less predictable?

Scientists are piecing together what triggered the devastating floods on the Nepal-Tibet border that cause the deaths of around 900 people. The US Geological Survey says it was actually a glacial collapse, with the impact so powerful it registered as a magnitude 5.2 seismic event.

New tax rules for vapes come into force across the UAE today. How does the new calculation actually work, which products are affected, and what does it mean for retailers with stock already sitting on their shelves?

And the BER months have officially begun. Decorations start appearing, Christmas preparations begin and, crucially, the Christmas music starts playing. So how does a piece of music become so strongly associated with a particular season?

US visa appointments on hold: What happens next?

Dubai Police has deployed 253 security and traffic patrols and 28 drones around schools to monitor traffic and help keep things moving safely. 

Today is also Accident-Free Day. Drivers who registered for the nationwide initiative and stay free of accidents and traffic violations today could have four black points removed from their licence.  

Yango Ride has introduced School Rides, where up to six pupils travelling along similar routes share a vehicle, with fixed pickup windows and door-to-door collection. The service was launched as a pilot in partnership with Dubai’s RTA earlier this year. 

Dubai is spending AED 1.16 billion on Al Meydan Street.

Today is World Beach Day, a chance to celebrate our coastlines, but also to think about how we use them safely. 

And is your dog talking to you?
