  In the journey of life, each chapter presents its unique challenges, obstacles, and rewards. 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. The Importance of Completion In a world that moves at such a rapid pace, we often rush through tasks and events, focusing on the next big thing before we’ve even processed the current one. Yet, completing something gives us the chance to reflect. We can look back and appreciate the ...

China’s monkeypox advisory warns its citizens not to touch foreigners

monkeypox

The Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned its citizens not to touch foreigners after China reported its first monkeypox virus case.

China’s first monkeypox case was detected on Friday in the southwestern city of Chongqing in an individual who arrived abroad. Local authorities said that the transmission risk of the virus was low as the individual was put in quarantine upon arrival in Chongqing as per China’s Covid-19 protocol. The Chinese authorities also said that all the traveller’s close contacts were isolated and under medical observation.

The traveller suffered from a rash and other symptoms while being quarantined in line with COVID-19 controls in China. The monkeypox case was confirmed after the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reviewed the test results of the traveller. Subsequently, China’s CDC, affiliated with the national health commission (NHC), China’s health ministry, published five recommendations for Chinese citizens to follow to prevent the spread of the monkeypox virus.

Wu Zunyou, CDC’s chief epidemiologist, published the recommendations on China’s social media platform, Weibo, on Saturday. The first piece of advice the CDC’s chief gave was “Do not have skin-to-skin contact with foreigners.” Wu also urged people not to have “contact” with people who recently returned from abroad for at least three weeks.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global health emergency over the monkeypox outbreak in more than 90 countries. The monkeypox virus has been spreading mainly in men who have sex with other men. It causes rashes on the skin and private parts of the body.

According to the CDC, more than 60,000 confirmed cases have been reported so far globally. Deaths from non-endemic countries have also been reported amid the outbreak.

China also reported around 1,000 new local Covid-19 cases a day over the past week. The Chongqing case comes amid the Covid-19 outbreak.

-
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...
