Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is the second largest Arab economy after Saudi Arabia. The UAE is also the 30th largest global economy, and has the world’s 18th highest GDP per capita (USD 44,200) rate.
A traditionally oil-rich nation, the UAE has diversified to future-proof its economy, and non-oil sectors now contribute to almost three-quarters (70%) of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP).
The UAE population is made up largely of expatriates, with around 120,000 UK residents, and it housed a further one million UK visitors during 2014. Furthermore, some 5,000 British companies operate out of the UAE, including big names like BAE Systems, BP, Rolls Royce and Shell – so if you want your business to get in on the action, here’s all you need to know about exporting to Abu Dhabi.

Losing a job can be quite tricky, especially if you have a steady career with a stable company – even if you fall way short of being a model professional, it can take a lot to get your P45.
That said, it can also be all-too-easy to lose your job, especially if you’re prepared to go out in an ignominious blaze of glory – punching a horrible boss, or trashing your work station in a fit of pique ought to do the trick.
In reality though, if someone kills their career, it’s usually a slow and painful death, and will probably contain one of these seven deadly workplace sins…

The Apple iPhone battery isn’t renowned for its long life or ability to hold a charge – after a couple of months your mobile spends that much time plugged into the wall, it may as well be a landline – but a batch of 6s models have a fault that makes them shut down, even if the battery has plenty of charge.
As far as faults go, it’s hardly up there with Samsung’s exploding Note 7 battery, but if you’re affected, it’s certainly going to cause a headache – if not a fire – and Apple is offering to replace any offending batteries.
@TheNextWeb that’s nice of them

The first contact between England and Morocco is thought to have been King John’s failed attempt to get Moroccan support against the French in the thirteenth century.
Things have gotten a bit better since then though and the two countries have enjoyed a trading relationship since the fifteenth century – in fact, the UK is one of Morocco’s oldest partners and was the nation’s main trading partner during the nineteenth century.
And this working relationship is something that is being worked on by the current UK government, not least to take advantage of the country’s unique and strategic location at the threshold of Europe and the gateway to Africa.
Although Rabat is the political capital of Africa, Casablanca is the country’s business capital – and because no one wants a three-hour flight as part of their commute, it makes sense to keep in touch with colleagues or clients via conferecne call.
So here’s how to quickly set up a teleconference between UK and Morocco, using nothing more than a mobile or landline telephone.
More than half of all UK office workers are now allowed to work remotely, and a third report they are more productive when working outside of the usual workplace.
Figures from the latest YouGov Omnibus research found over half (54%) of UK office workers are currently able to work remotely – just under a third (30%) found this increased their capacity to put a shift in, compared to just under a fifth (17%) who said the opposite was true.
So what exactly does remote working entail? And is there a difference between that and flexible working? Let’s take a look…
