Abu Dhabi: Najat Al-Fares
Yesterday, Tuesday, the Emirates Writers Union, Abu Dhabi branch, organized a dialogue session that addressed the challenges of writing for children, with the participation of writer Noura Khoury and writer Aisha Al Sheikh, and moderated by researcher Dr. Najia Al Ketbi, in the presence of writer Sheikha Al Jabri, director of the branch, and a number of writers and intellectuals.
Aisha Al-Sheikh said: “I started writing stories for my children and I was drawing the characters of the story, and not everyone can write a story for the child, he must have linguistic ability and the talent for storytelling, and for me, I did not jump into the world of writing out of thin air. Then I moved to writing eloquent poetry without publishing it, and in 1995 I released my first work, the story “Abu Najma” and it may be the first story in children’s literature written by an Emirati storyteller.
She explained that the method of preaching to children in writing is useless unless it is in an indirect framework, indicating the necessity of translating children’s stories and publishing them in both Arabic and English in the same book; As we are facing a generation that prefers reading and mastering the English language at the expense of its mother tongue, stressing the importance of choosing what is presented to the child, and taking into account the age stage for him. Unfortunately, some people don’t take it into account.
Noura Khoury said: “I tried writing poetry and did not find myself as a poet, then I joined the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair in several writing courses, in Germany and America, and learned more regarding the secrets of writing, and from there the passion and love began. We are a group of Emirati friends who write for children and read our works to each other and express our opinion About it from a scientific point of view, explaining that she presents the story to children before publishing it. She had previously participated in writing for the “Open Sesame” program when the Gulf Cooperation Council reproduced it in a new way in 2014; At that time, she received a 9-day training course in New York with other writers selected from the Gulf countries.
She added that she has translated a scientific series for children, and a story by a Kuwaiti writer, from Arabic into English, and she participates in workshops to teach children the art of writing traditional letters, and that she uses some local terms, as the classical Arabic language at the present time represents a great challenge for the child, due to the explosion of knowledge on the means of communication. And content directed to the child in English via YouTube, indicating that her books are adventurous and pour into the local environment, through which she is also keen to promote authentic Arab values.
In her intervention, the writer Sheikha Al-Jabri stressed that writing for the child should rely on sound principles and foundations, and be presented in a smooth and interesting way, and that imagination provokes the child’s memory, and we need to teach the child mercy, sympathy, and warmth of feelings, especially in a time of emotional drought, as the means of communication are full of nonsense, Children are in dire need of high-end stories, explaining that the writer Naguib Mahfouz, when asked why you do not write for children? He replied I don’t know, and that writing for a child requires specific techniques, strength and courage.

And Abdul Wahed, through his account on the social networking site “Facebook”, listed the risks of the luncheon sandwich as follows:
Damage to liver health
Luncheon contains sodium nitrate, which affects the liver and internal organs in the body, as it turns into nitrites, which are oxidizing substances that cause long-term liver damage.
Food poisoning
Poisoning is caused by bacteria present in luncheon meat and processed meat, and the enzymes in this type of food convert nitrates into a toxic substance in the body.

“The responsibility lies with whoever organizes the meeting”
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The Buenos Aires Security Minister was entering a television channel for an interview, but traveled to the scene of the incidents. What did he say regarding police repression?
The game had not yet been officially suspended, but it was in fact. Hundreds of frightened people, affected by the tear gas that the Buenos Aires Police released in the La Plata Forest, along with the rain of rubber bullets. What happened? There were more people in the stands than the capacity to contain it and many in the street, with legitimate tickets and the great doubt: the club resold tickets or the police operation might not avoid “casts”.
Beyond the conjectures there is a concrete fact that has the Police on target, who ordered to close the entrances to the stadium so that people who, even with their ticket in hand, had stayed outside, would not enter. But the people who were decomposing inside might not leave either: if the public had wanted to leave the stadium, the tragedy of Gate 12 would have been repeated.
“Let anyone take charge. The responsibility lies with whoever organizes the event”indicated the Minister of Security of the province of Buenos Aires, Sergio Berniin an interview with the TN signal, minutes following landing in La Plata, where he arrived by helicopter.
The head of the Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sport (Aprevide), Eduardo Aparicioestimated that the number of people who tried to enter the stadium with their tickets when capacity was already full, amounted to 8 thousand.
“The information we all have is that there were problems entering, many fans who wanted to enter without tickets. I want to see what happens to order this mess”Minister Berni had managed to say, before entering a television studio, which minutes later he left to arrive by helicopter at the very stadium.
At the same time, the mayor of La Plata was consulted, Julius Garrowho initially pointed to the Gimnasia leadership for having used their stadium instead of Ciudad de La Plata.
“It’s hard for me to understand how these events are not carried out in the Single Stadium. It’s somewhat surprising, they are things that can be planned and foreseen. But our city has one of the best stadiums in South America, it is a place with much more capacity”, Garr pointed out.
“This is not the fault of Gimnasia or Boca, but we live in a society with a lot of violence. I understand that this has to do with planning and that things go much better,” he added.
While some Aprevide officials tried to determine the performance of the planned operation, others exchanged calls and responded to the leaders regarding the possibility of completing the game on Friday.
Berni: “the Police had to act”
“A police officer cannot aim at the body, even with rubber bullets, and he is subject to criminal proceedings,” admitted Berni a few hours following the suspension of the game and shortly following his arrival at the stadium. However, the official was ambiguous since he considered that the deceased person was not related to the operation, since he indicated that it was a “sudden death” that “was no one’s fault.”
“The head of Aprevide tells me that 5,000 or 6,000 more tickets were oversold. People wanted to enter at all costs and broke the gates to try: the Police had to act,” he justified.
“It is premature to speak of those responsible, but I have no doubt that it is the ambition and greed of those who do business with football: they have no scruples in selling twice (the number of tickets allowed). Due to greed and excessive ambition, they People’s lives matter two hells. I’m going to make all the criminal complaints so that this doesn’t happen once more, “he said, placing the full weight of responsibility on the Gymnastics leaders.
Although Berni admitted that he had not observed the images that circulated on social networks and television, he acknowledged that “Internal Affairs” will be in charge of establishing responsibilities in the chain of command. “We have to determine who gave the order to close the doors and fire tear gas and give the call for fire,” he listed.
