Image
 The United Arab Emirates' non-oil private sector recorded its fastest expansion in nine months in December 2024, buoyed by strong domestic demand and increased business activity, according to the latest S&P Global Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) report. PMI Highlights Robust Growth The seasonally adjusted UAE PMI climbed to 55.4 in December from 54.2 in November, signaling robust growth well above the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. This marked the third consecutive monthly increase, underscoring sustained recovery in the non-oil sector. Key drivers of growth included a notable rise in new business activity. The new orders subindex rose sharply to 59.3 in December from 58.0 in the previous month, reflecting strong domestic demand. Challenges Amid the Growth While domestic demand flourished, export growth slowed, with the export orders subindex dropping to a seven-month low.

A New Horizon for Dubai’s Ocean Exploration That Leads to Priceless Achievement

 


Surprisingly, The Guinness World Records has affirmed that Dubai-based exile Hamish Harding and prestigious sea adventurer Victor Vescovo have been added to the record books as the primary people to effectively cross the full length of the most profound part of the Challenger Deep and the most profound point on Earth.

Utilizing a reason constructed DSV Limiting Factor, a two-man profound submergence vehicle worked by Triton Submarines, the team made the jump on March 5 to set two new world records for accomplishing the best distance went at Full Ocean Depth and most noteworthy length spent at Full Ocean Depth, at four hours and 15 minutes.

The normal profundity of the sea is around 12,100 feet. Harding and Vescovo accomplished the accomplishment by investigating Challenger Deep where the absolute bottom on Earth situated at the Mariana Trench which, at almost 11km profoundly or 10,925 meters to be precise which is comparable to multiple times the tallness of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest pinnacle!

Addressing this, Dubai in the wake of getting back from the undertaking, Harding shared that it was a staggeringly threatening climate. To go to parts of the Challenger Deep where no human had at any point been before was really surprising. The Challenger Deep is an amazingly threatening climate thus little is thought about existence on the sea depths.

Along with this, Harding gave a more realistic portrayal on how it was to be at the most profound point under a sea. It was what might be compared to 8,000 multi level buses or 300 large planes on top of a human.

To exhibit further, Harding appeared to Gulf News a styrofoam cup that was joined external the sub during the jump. It was squashed to a fourth of its unique size, demonstrating how hard the pressing factor was multiple times more than the standard air pressure adrift level.

In fact, The actual mission was not without its strained minutes. Since Challenger Deep's floor isn't level as recently suspected, the submarine had to climb around 800 meters to clear an unmapped bumpy level with a shape looking like South Africa's Table Mountain and this makes these people incredibl

Moreover, a back from the lower part of Challenger Deep. Looking like an amphipod, a little shrimp-like shellfish that search on the seabed, the marine invertebrate was discovered 10.9km underneath ocean level at air pressures multiple times higher than what is capable above water. The animal was caught by one of the two automated landers, named CLOSP and FLERE, that were utilized by the sub to locate sonar returns and explore the lower part of the sea.
