WARNING OF CELL PHONE DIRECTORIES

ALL FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD READ THIS, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN!

These crooks are getting very good!

A lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names in her cell phone directory after her handbag was stolen.

Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, purse, etc.., wa stolen.
Twenty minutes later she called her husband, from a pay telephone telling him what had happened.

Her husband said, 'I have just received your text message asking about our pin number and I have replied a little while ago.'

When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.

The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text her husband listed in the directory and got hold of their pin number.

Within twenty minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people o your call list.

Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Mom, Dad, etc.,
And very importantly, when sensitive information is being asked for through text messages, CONFIRM by calling back.

Also, when you are being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them...
If you do not reach them, b very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON.

I never thought about THAT!

As of right now, do you have 'home' listed in your cell phone directory?

Two beaches in Dubai closed as traces of Red Tide surfaces

Dubai: Beaches near Burj Al Arab and another one located close to the Umm Suqeim Park have been closed by the Dubai Municipality as traces of Red Tide in these two beaches have surfaced again.

Mohammad Abdul Rehman Hassan, the head of the marine environment and wildlife section, told Gulf News that there were no traces of Red Tide found on Dubai shores in the morning during water testing.

Red tide is the result of an influx of a type of algal bloom; it is so named because it turns the water a reddish colour.

"They have surfaced again and so we have decided to close the beaches to ensure the safety of beachgoers. People are advised not to venture into these two beaches. They should make no contact with the water, nor consume the dead fishes that are washed ashore. Care should also be taken not to inhale the air after a wave hits the shoreline. This can prove hazardous to health," he said.

Hassan did not rule out the possibility of shutting down more beaches if the Red Tide continues to frequent the area.

GOOD MORNING

BUT Anyone can Start Today and make a NEW ENDING"

Destiny is no matter of Chance.
It is a matter of Choice;

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!

Unstable weather continues to prevail in UAE

Rains had started from last Wednesday (25th March,night),when I had gone for a walk.Seeing the lighting and thunders, we tried to reach home fast, but were caught up in the rain.Anyway we took shelter near a bank for sometime and then headed home soon.
I had to finish my laundry on Thursday,even though it was raining.I pulled the clothes stand inside the room and left it to dry.Evening trip to the hospital was manageable as it was just drizzling,but on the way back it started to pour.
Luckily I kept my umbrella with me.
Weekends-Friday was o.k
- Saturday morning it was again shining bright.So I could finish some of my outwork that I had.
Sunday- Again started to rain heavily with thunderstorms.I was wondering if we could manage to go to school for the meeting the next day.
Monday--Got up early--no rain-reached school by 7a.m,cam back home by 8.30a.m, as it was sunny and nice, did even a little grocery shopping.Evening came-it started all over.
Tuesday---No rain till now, it is shining bright,so I washed little of the laundry that I had.
Nice to see the rains, but my balcony gets clogged,so are the roads around my home.
Due to bad drainage system in UAE, the roads are really cloged and blocked and the pedestrians have to face the worst situation when car-drivers rush through the water, all the dirty water being thrown at their face, dress,fully.
I don't see why the drivers are always in a rush.Take heed,drive slowly.
There has been so many accidents and deaths due to the rains recently.

According to the weatherman, unstable weather conditions will continue to prevail in the coming two days. The UAE will witness heavy rains and thunderstorms until Sunday.

The Rain Emergency Committee at the municipality yesterday distributed 65 tanks and 60 pumps to drain out the water, particularly focusing on residential areas, schools, government departments and special needs centres.

Residents are urged to call the municipality's 24-hour hotline number 993 if they face flooding in their neighbourhood.

OPEN HOUSE AT MY SON'S SCHOOL

Yesterday was the parent-teacher meeting called OPEN HOUSE to collect the child's report card for the Final Exams.
We did not want to be caught up in the rush, so we really reached school by 7a.m and paid the School and bus fees,where we were among the first ones.Then went to class, waited for the teacher, she came in around 7.40a.m.
Since there were 2 more parents before me, it did not take much time to finish our turn.
My son had got full attendance Certificate.
He had done quite well in his exams also, he was sick during the exams so I had fear of how he would have done.
I finished all my work by 8a.m and was back home by 8.30.
Since the climate was cool and nice,went shopping to get my son's school shoes,took a video CD and saw a nice movie in the afternoon.
I had already bought off the school books and covered them a day ahead, as I had got the list from another friend.
So,now I am relaxed, just waiting for school to start.
It has been raining on and off for the past few days.Hope the climate changes soon.
