Iraq cancels mega arms deal with Russia over graft concerns
Cancellation of deal, which had been announced last month, is setback for Moscow's attempts to firm up its slipping foothold in Middle East.
Middle East Online
By Ammar Karim – BAGHDAD
Russia's biggest deal in six years
Baghdad cancelled a $4.2 billion (3.3 billion euro) weapons package with Russia on Saturday citing graft concerns, torpedoing a deal that would have made Moscow Iraq's biggest arms supplier after the US.
Cancellation of the deal, which had been announced when Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki led a delegation to Russia last month, is a setback for Moscow's attempts to firm up its slipping foothold in the Middle East and also throws into doubt efforts by Iraq to equip its armed forces.
"The deal was cancelled," Maliki's spokesman Ali Mussawi said.
"When Maliki returned from his trip to Russia, he had some suspicions of corruption, so he decided to review the whole deal... There is an investigation going on, on this."
Mussawi declined to say who specifically was being investigated, or if Iraq would begin new negotiations with Moscow.
He also did not say exactly when the final decision was made to stop the deal.
The Russian embassy in Baghdad was not available for comment.
Had the deal been finalised and implemented, it would have made Russia Baghdad's second-biggest arms supplier, after the United States.
Russian media said the deliveries covered 30 Mi-28 attack helicopters and 42 Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile systems.
Discussions were also said to be underway for Iraq's eventual acquisition of a large batch of MiG-29 fighters and helicopters, along with heavy weaponry.
The statement announcing the deals said they were secretly discussed as early as April and revisited again in July and August during visits to Russia by Iraqi delegations that included acting Defence Minister Saadun al-Dulaimi.
The war ripping apart Syria threatens to unseat Moscow's sole unwavering Arab ally, Bashar al-Assad, and has made it all the more crucial for Russia to forge other regional alliances.
Russia also lost an estimated $4 billion in outstanding contracts in the NATO-led Libya offensive that toppled Moamer Gathafi, a one-time friend of the Kremlin, and Moscow has been seeking to find a way to compensate for the loss ever since.
Iraq, meanwhile, has sought to re-equip an army that, while regarded as a capable counter-insurgency force, lacks the ability to defend the country's borders, airspace or maritime territory, according to officials.
The deal with Russia was seen by diplomats in Baghdad as a way for Iraq to avoid becoming too dependent on American military equipment, and to hold more bargaining power in weapons negotiations with Washington, which remains Baghdad's biggest arms supplier by far.
It was also a short-term measure to boost Iraq's air defence capabilities in the years before a cadre of F-16 fighter jets are delivered by the United States.
"It is not a policy to go to Russia," Deputy National Security Adviser Safa Hussein said in an interview last month. "The backbone of our armaments is from the United States, but whenever it is required that we go with another country, we will go."
"The American programmes were a little slow," he added. "We can't live with this gap in our defence capabilities for a long time, and the Americans understand this."

When most people hear "roller coaster," visions of Fiesta Texas dance through their head. However, Kyara Galindo, daughter of Gabriel and Socorro Galindo, thinks of her four years in high school.
"Throughout the past four years I have had very high times as well as low times," Galindo said. "Some times were fun and some not so fun."
The main low occurred during Galindo's sophomore year when she collapsed at a football game while cheering. She was taken to the hospital where two tumors were found in her brain and she was diagnosed with stage IV Glioblastoma Multiforme. Galindo was given a life expectancy of five months.
"My first reaction was inscrutable," Galindo said. "I was at the hospital and was asleep. When I woke up, 'tumor' was the first word I heard. At the time, I was not knowledgeable about tumors so I did not know what to think exactly."
Tickets are on sale now for "Les Misérables," the first production in the Fredericksburg Theater Company's 18th season, which opens on June 20.
The musical, which continues weekends through July 6, is based on the novel by Victor Hugo set in 19th century France and tells the story of Jean Valjean, a man seeking redemption after serving 19 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread for his sister's child.
Performances will be held Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
"When I first saw 'Les Misérables' 20 years ago, I was drawn into the show because of the combination of very personal stories and the theatrical presentation," director Jim Weisman said. "In our production, we're adding the close up and personal element that you won't get in the big touring theaters. We have an amazingly talented cast and I think audiences will be completely entranced."
The Gillespie County Historical Society will unveil its new annual springtime festival, Lenz Fest, on June 19-21.
Lenz Fest will celebrate the spring season in the Texas Hill Country and commemorate the historical significance of the early German pioneers.
In doing so, the museum decided to honor an individual that has shown the "pioneer spirit" in the community and Gillespie county.

Slightly more than 1 in 10 voters took part in the May 27 primary runoff elections in Gillespie County.
Only 11.6 percent of the county's 17,883 registered voters took part in the primary runoff. That included 1,969 Republican voters and 110 Democratic voters.
Gillespie results mirrored statewide tallies in the GOP primary runoff.
Tea Party favorite Dan Patrick topped incumbent David Dewhurst in the lieutenant governor's race, 57-43 percent. (Statewide result was 65-35 percent.) Patrick will now face Democrat Leticia Van de Putte in the November general election.
Ken Paxton topped Dan Branch 58 percent to 42 percent in the race for attorney general. (Statewide result was 64-36 percent.)
Sid Miller beat Tommy Merritt for the nomination for commissioner of agriculture, 62-38 percent. (Statewide tally was closer at 53-47 percent.)
"An Interrupted Conversation" is a collection of nearly 100 pieces of advice that Phil Houseal invites readers to help finish.
Local columnist and author Phil Houseal has released his newest book, "An Interrupted Conversation," a compilation of advice from one of his mentors, released in advance of graduation and wedding season.
Dick Culbertson, a U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, had retired to San Antonio in 1976, but continued to be an active leader in many areas and organizations, including the Texas Community Education Association. That was where he became a friend and mentor to the author.
"Dick first cornered me when I became involved in community education at the state level," Houseal said. "As I explain in the book's introduction, he literally grabbed me after a session in Austin and pulled me out in the hallway to talk."

Score from 373 reviews Good
Really good service Nice rooms Clean
Breakfast was small and no vedgies or fruit Cold eggs and the food that was suppose to be hot was not
No tea coffee facilities in room even though website stated there was. Attitude of reception staff/manager not sure which he was but very abrupt. First room given had not been cleaned was not very apologetic just seemed more annoyed with us. Wouldn't recommend the hotel.
~it was in the city !!
beds too soft
Modern nice big comfortable room. Locati on right in the city centre
If you come by car be prepared to park 10 minutes Walking distance.
Room was very comfortabel, clean. Bathroom was huge! We really liked the sophisticated style of the interior.
There was no soap in the bathroom. Had to use the shampoo. I'd rather prefer soap instead of shampoo, conditioner and body lotion :-)
Excellent and Friends staff. Large and nicely decorated Room and nice bathroom.
Very noisy from the outside (bars, drunk People, etc.)
Beds. Mattresses way too soft. No space to put toiletries
Check in and out was quick and easy. Large bath was excellent. The beds were comfortable.
No coffee or tea making facilities. No shower screen.
Location in towncenter and the hotel facilities
Shower in the bath. For an older couple the change of slipping is eminent.
Great location and comfortable bed. Nice breakfast buffet.
Open bathroom in the room in which we stayed, which is nice for a couple, but as friends you might want some privacy when showering. No trashcan in (separate) toilet. Some cracks in the walls and sloppy finishings in an otherwise very nicely designed room. Keep in mind that on Saturdays the rooms in the front will be noisy due to the market being set up very very early in the morning.
Hotel staff is very friendly. Tasty breakfast. Very clean rooms. Great location.
Breakfast was good with a good variety and coffee was excellent.
It didn't have a car park and was in a pedestrian area. Hotel staff were not helpful in suggesting alternative parking, though a local shopkeeper was. Throw on bed was both torn and stained. We were there at the weekend and were disturbed by noise in the early hours of the morning.
Friendly helpfull staff.
The beds are too old and you wake up with pain in your back. No info avaialble that the hotel is not accessable by car on Saturday due to the weekly market.
Stylish. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Great location. Great breakfast - smallish choice but lovely quality {delicious smoked salmon and great selection of fruit.) Nice coffee maker in the rooms.
No staff on duty in the bar two evenings. Really slow lift. Room was clean but housekeeping variously forgot to replenish toiletries and coffee and milk
Perfect location, nice spacious room. Breakfast was average.
Hotel internet connection setup was difficult to make because of cookies prerequisites. After successful set up of the internet connection, the next day the hotel internet connection could not recognise my device anymore and continued to complain about cookies. I don't understand why the hotel made internet connection so complicated that it would be difficult for some devices to connect. By the way, I use and iPhone 5s and never had any connectivity issues before.
We would not recommend this hotel as the parking is abysmal. We were asked where we had parked our car, and we said in the carpark round the corner, and he said it was ok until 12 noon the next day. We woke up in the morning to find a market in the street and on looking for our car were told it had been towed away. This cost us over 200 Euros. The staff were unsympathetic, saying it was our fault. No compensation was offered.
We were impressed by the unique character of the architecture,the building and the decor;all the rooms seemed to be individually designed and although ours was only a standard room the bathroom was huge and the bed really comfortable.A variety of fresh fruit,croissants and smoked salmon ensured that breakfast was rather special and the sea bass, woodcock and wine at dinner were superb.
What was there not to like? Staff far too modest about they have to offer guests.
The Location is excellent & Alkmaar is a Lovely town.
The breakfast Room was too small for the amount of guests & Inder staffed.The receptionist seemed uninterested in his Job. The room was really noisey, we woke up with the Kids next door at 6:30 am. The room 201 seemed to have its own moskito nest , perhaps from under the shower which completely leaked into the carpet. The place is stylish but not maintained.
Great location, decor lovely beds comfy
No ac meant room was far too hot, open windows did not sufficiently ventilate the room but let in too much noise and many mosquitoes. Would not return despite great location and stylish hotel
Breakfast , good location and friendly stuff
Rooms are not exactly fit 4 stars hotel
Fantastically located in the center of the city with large rooms at a great price (especially for a European hotel). Breakfast and staff were excellent as well.
Bathroom was very cramped, but that is typical Dutch.
Efficient, friendly, helpful staff. Clean pleasant room. Decent breakfast.
The church bell in area rings hourly throughout the night!
Location was brilliant, right in the middle of lovely town.
No air con. Room like an oven. Opened window and mosquitos ate us alive! Air con a must nowadays!
Service at the hotel was very friendly and everyone was helpful
The mattresses were extremely soft

Global Partnerships
Grassroots' cross-border partnerships.
Women on the March until we are All Free!
By Nikhil Aziz
March 8th, 2010
Grassroots International ally the World March of Women has launched a Call to Action on the occasion of International Women's Day, March 8, 2010. The World March of Women is also a close ally of many Grassroots International partners such as La Via Campesina. Grassroots supports and joins the WMW call to action and celebrates International Women's Day with them and our partners and allies across the globe.
Via Campesina calls for End to Violence against Women
Grassroots International partner La Via Campesina celebrated international women's day, March 8, 2010 with a re-affirmation of their global campaign to end violence against women. Last November 25th, on the occasion of International Day against Gender Violence, the Via called for an end to all forms of violence against women and called on its members to work with their ally, the World March of Women to coordinate actions against gender violence. The Via launched its campaign to end violence against women at its fifth international congress in 2008, in Maputo, Mozambique.
One step forward towards a Declaration on the Rights of Peasants
Recently the Advisory Committee of the U.N. Human Rights Council approved the report "Discrimination in the Context of Right to Food." Their endorsement of the report is a significant first step towards the recognition of peasant's rights—something that Grassroots International and our partner the Via Campesina have advocated for years.
We now hope that the leadership of the U.N. Human Rights Council will embrace the recommendation of its advisory board. It will be one step forward for justice.

Via Campesina calls for Solidarity with Haiti including Haitian peasant movements in aftermath of earthquake

Money's Coming to Cool the Planet

Why We Left Our Farms to Come to Copenhagen
As dignitaries and politicians meet in Copenhagen to discuss ways to curtail climate change, some of the people most affected by the crisis are also present, including the Via Campesina. One of Grassroots International's partners, the Via represents more than 150 million small farmers, fishers and producers worldwide. As Henry Saragih, General Coordinator of Via Campesina, notes in the speech below, small farmers are cooling down the earth, while big industrial farms pose grave risks.
Why We Left Our Farms to Come to Copenhagen
Changes in farm policies needed to reduce climate change
I have had the privilege of being the point person for Grassroots International on our U.S-based advocacy work on food and farm policy issues. A large part of this work is done in conjunction with our allies in the US Working Group on the Global Food Crisis, where Grassroots is a member of the ad hoc steering committee I have been working to raise the voices of Grassroots' partners, like the Via Campesina, in the policy solutions put forward for consideration in Washington. Among the strategies for which our partners, and we, advocate is a transition away from large-scale industrialized fossil-fuel-dependent agriculture toward a more earth and people friendly model of sustainable agriculture.

Lenses / Re: Quality lens system for lightweight travel« on: June 27, 2014, 12:55:45 PM »
The A7 series certainly fit well the situation, but what is the point of using the exact same bulky FF-optimized lenses if the initial goal is to significantly reduces the overall system size and weight? The camera body size will be for sure smaller but not the lenses, so on the whole the size and weight reduction will be only minimal.In my office bag I could carry my Mac Book Pro and Canon 5D MK III + 24-70 f/2.8 lens and a 16-35 f/2.8 lens ... but now I can carry 2 cameras (a7+a6000) and 5 lenses (10-18 + 24-70 + 70-200 + 55 + 85 with Metabones adapter) and a MBP in the same space. Lenses for the mirrorless cameras may not be as fast as the DSLR equivalents but they are a happy compromise.
Most people look at some camera/lens size comparison websites and come to incorrect conclusion that there isn't much of a difference in size, but one has to carry the mirrorless cameras and lenses around in bag to know the difference. What the mirrorless system does is reduce the overall weight and the space they occupy in your camera bag, plus you don't need to carry heavier tripods ... I now use Benro's MeFOTO Roadtrip tripod, (including ballhead) which fits inside my carry on luggage in the flight ... that's 2 mirrorless cameras, (1 full frame + 1 crop sensor), 5 lenses (with a FOV from 15mm - 300mm), 1 tripod with ball head, 2 speedlites and a Mac Book Pro as hand luggage in one single bag.
Only those who travel frequently can appreciate the flexibility and ease that such a setup provides ... also the resulting weight reduction only brings back the joy of being able to use the gear you want anywhere. Many photographers I know (including me) have carried lots of DSLR gear only to realize that sometimes the space and weight took away the fun factor of photography (bcoz on many occassions we didn't get to use the gear we carried), so we tried taking only a limited amount of gear only to feel guilty for not carrying a particular lens which would have been perfect for a given situation ... but the mirrorless system provides you with the luxury of being able to carry 2 cameras with half a dozen lenses along with a light weight tripod & a MBP as hand luggage ... now that is awesome. Yes, as of now the morrorless system cannot do everything what high end DSLRs or "L" quality lenses can do, nevertheless its a happy compromise, one which I am very happy with at the moment.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was very pleased with the total experience. The company was easy to work with and I was extremely pleased with the invitation. I was giving another shower soon after this one and knew I was going to use the Wedding Paper Divas. So hapy with this company."
"Very pretty invitations. I received many compliments. The standard matte paper was a nice weight. I liked the option of changing the edges. They shipped very quickly too. I was very happy with this choice."
"This was my first purchase from Wedding paper divas. Prices are excellent. I was able to modify both the color and the wording (Changed "Bridal" shower to "Lingerie" Shower) on my invitation. Invitations came quickly. Would definitely purchase from here again."
"This invitation was easy to customize and looks just beautiful in person. I have gotten several compliments from recipients of the invitation to my sister's bridal shower! I was able to customize the back of the invitation to include a little poem explaining to guests about what they should bring to the shower, and to also tell where they were registered. I was super happy with how the invitations turned out."
"I love this invitation! The only change would be to make the text one size bigger. It's hard to see where the couple is registered."

Happy Birthday To Me!
I recently celebrated a milestone birthday and wanted to spend it with close friends. I decided to rent this home and invited friends to stay. I made a special 5 course dinner Friday night for the group and it was the perfect setting. There was seating outside, plenty of places to sit inside and the kitchen was roomy and great. The home was spotless, the beds were comfortable, the neighborhood quiet. A great time was had by all and I would highly recommend this spot for anyone that has a larger group to accomodate.

Dorothy Day
Originally published 03/18/2013
Testing the New Pope's Commitment to Poverty
Study of portait of Dorothy Day by Sarah Melici. Credit: Flickr/Jim Forest.In words to news media people on March 16 the new pope, Francis, explained that he had chosen his name after the medieval saint Francis of Assisi. And it was primarily the saint's commitment to peace and helping the poor that influenced him. Since the new pope seems to have a good sense of humor, he might appreciate the following irony: Although the Catholic Church he now heads bars women from the priesthood and his church is often accused of gender bias, the twentieth-century person who most forcefully embraced the ideals of St. Francis was a woman -- Dorothy Day.

AGE IS not a deterrent for some people, such as Ralph Goldman, 97, who is best
known for the years of sterling service that he gave to the JDC and
philanthropist Fred Worms, 91, longtime mover and shaker in the Maccabi World
Union and B'nai B'rith of Great Britain and Ireland.The two, who now
live in Jerusalem, were among the many guests attending the recent annual
tribute dinner in honor of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz. There may have been other
nonagenarians in the room at the Leonardo Plaza Hotel, and there were certainly
a lot of octogenarians, many of whom are frequently seen at benefit
events. Goldman, sporting his signature bowtie, proved that one can teach
an old dog new tricks. He had no trouble in expertly operating his smart phone.
He also gets onto his exercise bike nearly every morning.The guest
speaker at the dinner was Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaacov Amidror, the national security
adviser to the prime minister and chairman of the National Security Council.
Amidror, who shared a table with Ron Dermer, a senior adviser to Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu and a talented speech writer, said that had he known that
Dermer would be attending, he might have thought twice about accepting the
speaking engagement.Amidror is a great admirer of Dermer's and even
though he was speaking in jocular fashion, it was obvious that he felt just a
tiny drop ill-at-ease with such a gifted wordsmith listening to him. Giving a
speech in Dermer's presence, he said, was like talking about a flood in
Jerusalem with Noah sitting in the audience. The main thrust of Amidror's
address was Israel's geographic, demographic, political and other asymmetric
relationships to its surroundings.Relating to Israel's victories in war
despite the asymmetric relationship in the size of Israel's army and the
combined forces of the enemy, Amidror said: "We can win a hundred wars, yet we
won't change the Middle East; but if we lose only one war that will mean the end
of the State of Israel."■ IT IS not only newspapers and magazines that
select a person of the year. In Israel, the Netanya Academic College has also
gotten in on the act and has chosen Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for
Regional Development Silvan Shalom as Real Estate Man of the Year. The title
will be conferred on Shalom at a special ceremony on Tuesday January 3 at the
NAC's Real Estate Convention, which will be held at the Leonardo Hotel in Ramat
Gan. Shalom was selected for the honor in recognition of his support for
important projects in the Galilee and the Negev such as the School for Medicine
in Safed and the airport in the Negev.■ SHALVA-BEIT NACHSHON, the
Jerusalem-based facility that helps children with physical and mental
disabilities to realize their potentials, keeps attracting important figures.
Not so long ago, opposition leader Tzipi Livni joined the youngsters by playing
the drums in a jam session.The VIP visitor for Hanukka was US Ambassador
Dan Shapiro, who joined in the candle lighting ceremony and distributed
chocolate coins. Himself a father of young children, Shapiro got on famously
with the Shalva youngsters and joined them in the singing of Hanukka songs to
the accompaniment of the enthusiastic musicians in the Shalva Band. Prior to
joining in the holiday celebrations, Shapiro took a tour of the center, and met
with Shalva's founder and director Kalman Samuels and with Esther Wachsman, the
mother of murdered Israeli soldier Nachshon Wachsman for whom the center is
named.WHILE IT'S true that people will sometimes travel overseas to hear
a concert by a star performer, it's still a comparative
rarity. Admittedly, there have been special overseas guests attending the
75th anniversary performances of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, but one
hardly expects someone from abroad, much less a state premier to come to Israel
to attend a concert by young musicians. However that's what Christine
Lieberknecht, premier of the German state of Thuringia, did this
week. Accompanied by a small delegation, Lieberknecht, whose visit
concludes today, was invited to listen to performances by Jerusalem-Weimar
Philharmonic Orchestra.Aside from the concerts, the purpose of her visit
was to enhance the German-Israeli dialogue, to strengthen the ties between the
two countries that are rooted in Holocaust memories, and to celebrate the fact
that despite the grim past, Germany and Israel have succeeded in creating joint
educational and cultural projects beyond anything related to politics or
economics.Weimar, which is historically associated with the rise of
Nazism, is located in Thuringia. Aside from the dark and notorious chapters of
its past, it has several claims to fame, notably that it was the seat of the
signing of Germany's first democratic constitution in the aftermath of World War
I and it was also the home of great writers and artists such as Goethe and
Schiller as well as the birthplace of the Bauhaus movement. The Jerusalem-Weimar
orchestra is a collaborative effort between students of the Jerusalem Academy of
Music and Dance and Weimar's Liszt School of Music. Presumably some of the
antecedents of the Weimar musicians were Nazis, while some of the forebears of
the Jerusalem musicians were Holocaust victims or survivors. Yet the descendants
of both the Nazis and the Holocaust survivors, though mindful of the past, have
managed to overcome and to harmonize.■ NO ONE seems to be immune to the
burning haredi-secular controversy. People from both sides are calling in to
radio talk shows to express their opinions or to explain that not only don't
haredi women mind sitting in the back of the bus, they actually prefer to do so.
But even when one defies the rules that haredim set within their own
communities, the outcome is not always negative. Case in point is that of
governor of the Bank of Israel Stanley Fischer who on Wednesday told Channel 1's
economics reporter Yair Weinreb of an experience that he had on Succot when
invited to visit someone in a haredi Jerusalem neighborhood. His wife was
expected to walk on one side of the street and he on the other. As far as
Fischer was concerned this was not acceptable, so he and his wife walked
together in the middle of the street. Despite the fact that they were not
supposed to walk together, they emerged unharmed. The moral of the story is that
the best path is always to take the middle of the road.Correction: The
photograph of Nava Barak and Shalom Zinger that appeared in Wednesday's
"Grapevine" was taken by Israel firstname.lastname@example.com

Thank you so much Bayt.com for giving me the chance to share my story. Bayt.com has always been updating its users with new technology and job openings. Well, I Mohsin Raza registered on Bayt.com 4 years back but I was not expecting that I will get a job through a website because I had registered earlier on many websites looking for jobs but with no response.

Dante L. Calapatia, Dubai, UAE
Three years ago, I posted my CV on Bayt.com not knowing that this will be the turning point of my career.
In 1983 having a degree of Mechanical Engineer, I was hired in a refrigeration and air-conditioning company in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. For the next 25 years, I worked in different areas of the company holding different positions such as Production Foreman, Planning Supervisor, Production Superintendent, Special Project Superintendent, Maintenance Superintendent, MPE Superintendent, EHS & ACE Superintendent. During these times, I was happy to stay with the same company although my earnings is just enough to support my family back home. When my kids grew up and started going to school, I came to realize that my earnings cannot support my kid's education.
It was then through the advice of my close friend to post my CV on-line because of my vast experience. This was the first time I hear about the site "Bayt.com" and from then on, I kept updating my CV.
After a month of posting my CV, I received a call from HR Director in Kuwait, conducted a telephone interview and passed the face to face interview. After only four months of posting my CV on Bayt.com, I was hired in Kuwait Insulation Manufacturer as EHS Manager receiving more than double my previous salary.
Six months has passed and this time a recruitment agency found my CV on Bayt.com. I received a series of telephone calls from the agency and booked me for an interview with an Oil and Gas Company. I passed the interview and started my new post in Nov 2009 receiving a better package.
This coming November, I will be two years working in my current company. Thank you Bayt.com, I really appreciate your efforts and thankful for putting my career to another level.

This is Shahrukh a Pakistani national.
There were some days when finding the right job was a tough task, first time I came to Dubai for job search was in June 2008, at that time I didn't know how to search for a job. I had no help from anyone and still I didn't loose hope but eventually I had to go back to Pakistan. After that I got to know that there are some recruitment agencies who forward candidates to employers. I started hunting for jobs again in June 2011 and this time I directly stroked Bayt.com & other recruitment sites. I didn't get any positive reply from other job sites but through Bayt.com I got a call from one of the best companies in the UAE, yes "AL Rostamani Group"
When I asked them from where they got my CV they replied from "Bayt.com"
at that time I realized in order to get the right job, we have to go to the right place & Bayt.com is the right place for all job hunters.
I had been exposed to great experiences with my current employer and I am always thankful to ALLAH that I got a v.good job.
Bayt.com is something very special.

I heard about Bayt.com in 2008 from my friend that its a good recruitment site. I registered myself without knowing much about all these recruitment sites, but later on I started regularly checking Bayt.com for appropriate vacancies as I already had a job at that time. But even when I was not regularly checking or applying for vacancies I still received calls for job offers through Bayt.com. Recently around 2 months ago I started to seriously view the vacancies offered on Bayt.com and I received calls from different companies and now I am hired in Industry Networks. Thanks to Bayt.com, its a great job site and I recommend everyone to register and make use of it.

In the end all thanks to Bayt.com.
I recommended Bayt.com to many of my friends also.
