Female employees at the Federal government will now be granted a three-month paid maternity leave under an amendment made to law 11 of 2008 by UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. They will also be allowed a two-hour break four months after the delivery date to breastfeed their babies. The previous maternity leave consists of 45 days only. Lebanon extended its maternity leave from 7 to 10 weeks few years ago.

Today's moon was the closest and brightest moon since 1948. It also won't come this close to Earth again until November 25, 2034. A super-moon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth, also known as perigee. The above shot was taken by Shadi Al Refai and shared on BurjKhalifa's FB page.
