There are moments when we find ourselves overwhelmed, questioning whether we will ever reach the finish line. However, just like the narrative arcs of our favorite stories, there’s something deeply satisfying about a well-executed conclusion—one that feels both rewarding and fulfilling. Whether it's a personal goal, a professional project, or even a cherished movie or book, the feeling of completion is something we all strive for. It brings a sense of peace, knowing that despite the ups and downs, there was a purpose behind every step we took. And when the ending is good, it makes all the struggles worthwhile.

Tsunami waves caused by a giant underwater volcanic eruption have hit the Pacific nation of Tonga on Saturday. Videos posted on social media showed large waves washing ashore in coastal areas.

The Tonga Meteorological Services issued a tsunami warning for all parts of Tonga. The situation led residents scrambling to higher ground. Reportedly, the volcanic eruption did not hurt or injure anyone. The volcano eruption which took place in the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai island was heard across the South Pacific.

Authorities in nearby Fiji also issued a warning. The authorities told people to avoid the shoreline because of the strong underwater waves. The initial eruption lasted at least eight minutes. Subsequently, satellite images showed a huge eruption, a plume of ash, steam and gas into the air. Reportedly, authorities also warned residents to cover water collection tanks in case of acidic ash fall.

Victorina Kioa of the Tonga Public Service Commission said that people should be away from areas of warning. The official also said to avoid low-lying coastal areas. The head of Tonga Geological Services Taaniela Kula urged people to stay indoors. Kula also advised people to wear masks because of the plume of ash, steam and gas into the air.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued a "tsunami advisory" for American Samoa. New Zealand’s military said it was monitoring the volcanic eruption. Australia was also monitoring the situation.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM)  issued a warning for some parts of Australia's east coast. The tsunami warning was issued for Victoria, Queensland, and Tasmania. A tsunami warning was also issued for Lord Howe, Norfolk and Macquarie islands of Australia.

The officials also issued warnings for the eastern state of New South Wales. The officials told people to move away from the immediate water's edge. The Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs were also monitoring the situation.

The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
