Demand for national employees increasingDubai: Demand for a UAE national workforce is on the rise in the private sector as companies seek to adhere to the Ministry of Labour's emiratisation strategy, said a senior ministry official. The National Human Resources and Employment Authority (Tanmia) has registered a dramatic increase in the number of private companies advertising positions for nationals following the new emiratisation policies, said Dr Khalid Al Khazraji, Labour undersecretary and Acting Director-General of Tanmia. They have doubled in number in the last three months rising from 150 available positions to 300 per week according to Tanmia statistics. "The rise in the demand for a UAE national workforce is to be attributed to the new emiratisation scheme enforced by the ministry, such as stopping the transactions of companies that do not meet their emiratisation quota and the emiratisation of professions," said Al Khazraji. read more.

New design talent in office interiorsThe latest newcomer on the Dubai design circuit is 26-year-old Tanya Gyani. She has arrived from India to take on the role of senior designer for OFIS and head up a turnkey service for office interiors. Keen to get involved in the escalating office industry she is confident that there is a real requirement for this type of service in Dubai. It is important in office design to understand the real needs of the client. Do they sit at computers for eight hours a day? Is their work focused on communication? I can translate these needs into tangible spaces. If space planning and office design caters properly to the client, productivity will increase. Gyani describes her style as being inspired by nature and organic elements. In terms of materials, natural light is an inspiration. I aim to provide soft, comfortable spaces using pastels, light woods, semi-lustrous metals and fluid forms. read more.

Viola brewing up desert stormTHE irony of a boy from Easterhouse conducting high-stakes global business from his luxury apartment in the Dubai Marina has not escaped John Viola. One of Scotland's busiest football representatives may have left his Bothwell base behind two years ago but reports of his professional demise have been greatly exaggerated. Barry Ferguson's long-serving agent and close friend opted for a drastic lifestyle change as the harsh financial reality of Scottish football finally bit. Yet far from indulging in the opulence of the millionaires' playground of the Middle East, Viola has never been busier. As well as operating a burgeoning property business in tandem with Derek Whyte, Viola is also a driving force behind the country's football boom. Once a salubrious retirement home for the likes of Gabriel Batistuta and Ronald De Boer, the Dubai soccer league has recently turned professional and, therefore, more discerning in its import policy. read more. 2 Pinoys die while fleeing from war in LebanonMANILA -- The Philippine Embassy in Lebanon on Thursday confirmed the death of two Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who died after falling from the buildings they had been staying in.
