  • Your Child's Sleep Pattern Needs Some Attention Now! Now that the summer holiday is approaching its end, so are the nights of staying up late. At times, getting children to bed can be a struggle for parents, especially after the `liberties` of an extended vacation. There is a lot you can do to help your child bridge the 'gap' and get the quality of sleep he needs. 1. Make it a family priority. Your child will imitate you, so set a good. By making sleep a priority for your self, this demonstrates for him that proper sleep is an integral constituent of a healthy lifestyle, and is as important as healthy eating and regular exercise. 2. Gradually shift bedtime back. To develop a healthy sleep pattern, it is recommended that you gradually move back your child’s bedtime by an hour every night, at least two before school starts, until your child is back to his proper bedtime routine 3. No technology before bedtime. Keep all electric devices - TVs, laptops, tablets, and cell phones out of your child`s bedroom, particularly at night. To prevent sleep disruption, turn off all screens at least one hour before bedtime. 4. Maintain a bedtime routine. Your child will do better when he knows what to expect; consistency is the key. Choose a relaxing activity to do just before sleeping (such as reading a short bedtime story), and make it part of his nightly routine. 5. Beware of Caffeine. Caffeine may remain in your child`s system for eight to 10 hours and interfere with his ability to have a peaceful sleep. It is wise to keep your child`s caffeine consumption to a minimum. Check the ingredient list on foods and beverages your child is consuming for any hidden caffeine.

  • Making Healthcare Marketing Work With over 7 years of Marketing experience in private healthcare, Supriya Taggar, a marketing and business development manager for HealthBay shares with us the challenges, tactics and creation of making healthcare marketing work in the U.A.E Q: When it comes to marketing in the UAE, what are the main factors to consider? A: The UAE is such a fast, developing and diverse country that it is important to start with the fundamentals which includes analysing your market, segmenting your target audience, understanding regulations, factoring effective social media and developing quality content. Q: What would you say has been your biggest challenge? A: The biggest challenge for me, especially coming from the U.K has been understanding the regulations. Messaging that may have worked in a Western country, may not work or be appropriate in the Middle East. There are approvals that have to be sought from recognized departments such as The Ministry of Health and the Dubai Health Authority. Rather than gaining revenue, you have to build trust with your target audience, delivery quality and become a leader in the industry. Once you capture the essence of these important factors, the venue follows. Q: What method if you had to choose one would you say has been a success? A: Social media. It is one of the biggest platforms out there to convey your message, share creative content and connect with your audience with the click of a button. In this digital era, it is one of the most effective tools to reach people all over the world. You can connect with your audience by uploading videos, posting information and encouraging others to share their thoughts on something that is so primitive- healthcare.

  • Regional Airlines Ban MacBook Pro Following the action taken by some of the International airlines around the world, regional carriers including Emirates, Flydubai and Etihad have also put restrictions on carrying certain models of Apple MacBook Pro. The restrictions were announced after Apple recalled all models of 15-inch MacBook Pro sold between September 2015 and February 2017 because of the risk of fire if the batteries overheat. In a statement on its website, Emirates says, “As a safety precaution, travellers will not be permitted to carry these MacBook Pro models as checked-in or carry-on baggage on Emirates flights unless the battery has been replaced. To check if your device is affected, and for more information on battery replacement options, please visit Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro Battery Recall webpage. Flydubai also announced the ban on these models through a statement on its website, Following the recall of a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro models, which were sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017, we will be unable to accept these devices in hand baggage or checked baggage unless the battery has been replaced.” Last month, Etihad Airlines also banned carrying the same MacBook Pro models in checked-in luggage. At Etihad, passengers can carry these models in their hand luggage, however they cannot switch them on during the flight. The three UAE airlines join other carriers in banning carrying this particular model including Oman Air, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways and Virgin Australia. http://www.discover-dubai.ae/general-info/3422/regional-airlines-ban-macbook-pro
