Social media brings change in Gulf despite efforts at control 6 December 2012Last updated at 14:06 GMT By Bill Law Middle East analyst, BBC News Efforts to legislate online debate are having mixed results in the Gulf A recent decision by the United Arab Emirates to tighten restrictions on internet use has highlighted attempts by the authorities in Gulf states to staunch the flood of comment and criticism appearing on social media websites. The amendments to the UAE's existing law on internet crime were announced last month in a decree by President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nuhayyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi. It says citizens who create or run a website or use the internet to deride or damage the state or its institutions face up to three years in prison. The institutions include the president, vice-president, any of the rulers of the federation's seven emirates, their crown princes and deputy rulers, as well as the national flag, national anthem, or any symbols of the state. 'Indiscriminate thieves' Twitter takes off And that can be dangerous.
UAE places restrictions on online dissent 13 November 2012Last updated at 12:36 ET Much of the law focuses on issues such as online fraud, privacy, prostitution and pornography The United Arab Emirates has tightened its law on internet use, making it a criminal offence to mock its rulers or organise unauthorised demonstrations. A presidential decree says anyone who creates or runs a website or uses the internet to deride or damage the state or its institutions faces imprisonment. The institutions include the rulers and senior officials across the federation of seven semi-autonomous Gulf emirates. Activists have criticised the move as an attempt to limit freedom of speech. The UAE has not experienced the unrest seen elsewhere in the region. However, since March the authorities have detained without charge more than 60 civil society activists, some of whom have ties to Islah - a local group that advocates greater adherence to Islamic precepts - including human rights lawyers, judges and student leaders.

Tried and Tested: Flyboarding Despite the 30°C heat on a Friday morning at Al Mamzar Beach Park , I can sense I’m getting cold feet. Awad, a watersports enthusiast from Flyboards UAE is clamping my feet into a space-age flyboard, intended to propel me up to 10 metres into the air with power from a 260hp jet-ski engine. What on earth have I gotten myself into this time? Flyboarding is the biggest new craze in watersports, and was invented a couple of years ago by a jet-ski champion called Franky Zapata. And now you can do it here in Dubai. What do you need? Who goes? What happens? Don’t be surprised if you’re flailing around for the first few attempts. How much of my life will this take up? How much does it cost? In Short: After 30 minutes of fun in the air, I am hauled out, panting. Check out the video below:
Dubai school sees red over Red Bull billboard DUBAI: Officials and parents at Dubai’s Universal American School (UAS) are calling for the removal of a giant Red Bull billboard above the campus. Members of the school community said they are unhappy with the “Wings for Every Taste” advertisement hanging above the Dubai Festival City campus. Dr Gunther Brandt, UAS principal, said they are looking for ways to exclude from the billboard any items inappropriate for young people … “or better yet, to get rid of this monstrous and unattractive structure altogether”. “I’m not against commerce and targeted marketing, but there’s such a thing as appropriateness. Aesthetically and based on education principles I know, I would like to see it removed. My main concern is to have a healthy and respectful environment for children.” His concern is shared by some parents. Red Bull, which sold more than five billion cans worldwide, is an energy drink.
Landlords now asking for salary certificate in Dubai DUBAI Be prepared to furnish your salary certificate if you want to rent an apartment in Dubai. Some landlords have now added a salary certificate rider to ensure that the prospective tenant earns enough to pay the rent. But the move has not gone down too well. “This is ridiculous,” said Indian expat Anil, who felt so disgusted when asked for his salary certificate by a property agent that he cancelled the deal. “I had nearly finalised an apartment in Dubai Marina when I got an e-mail from the property agent asking for my salary certificate. An upswing in the property market has seen landlords making unreasonable demands. XPRESS earlier reported how landlords in Bur Dubai, Deira and Karama were asking existing tenants to pay a fixed annual maintenance fee and separate charges for parking. Another expat said an agent in Bur Dubai told him that he could not keep his parents in his two-bedroom flat. What you might be asked for 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Why does France insist school pupils master philosophy? I have been staring in admiration over the shoulder of my 17-year-old daughter, as she embarks on a last mental rehearsal before a much-dreaded philosophy exam. My primary thought is: Thank the Lord I was spared the torment. I mean, can you imagine having to sit down one morning in June and spend four hours developing an exhaustive, coherent argument around the subject: Is truth preferable to peace? Or: Does power exist without violence? Or possibly: Can one be right in spite of the facts? Perhaps you would prefer option B, which is to write a commentary on a text. I take these examples from my daughter's revision books. Ruby has chosen to take what they call a Bac Litteraire - the Literature Baccalaureat. There are alternative, more science-biased versions of the Baccalaureat. But in the Bac Litteraire, philosophy is king. It means eight hours a week of classes, and in the exams it has the top coefficient of seven. Why this emphasis on philosophy in France? Or is it? I'll have to ask her.
