I let my guard down, stopped masking in crowded places, and ended up in the ICU 9 days ago, now on & off a ventilator. Hoping to be able to breathe on my own again soon, & when that happens, I hope I'll take all reasonable precautions to stay out of this situation in the future.

Compared to last year, is traffic in Dubai worse or better? For those who frequently visit Dubai

It’s a national duty of the Emirati youth to contribute to digitally documenting the UAE’s history. Organizing, cataloging, and indexing all Emirati historical minutiae and publishing online under common licenses is desperately needed to protect the collective memory of the UAE

@alialsalim If anything We need a lot more of these spaces upfront and especially in places of active community footfall This fills a missing piece to the AlSerkal Avenue ecosystem and I think supporting it, is the least we can do

I worry about our relentless obsession with real estate and physical spaces. With a global top 20 GDP/capita and one of the region's largest libraries costing $250M+ just 15 minutes away, is shelter and access to books a real obstacle to the advancement of Arab thought today?

شعار إمارة دبي The emblem of the emirate of Dubai

@alialsalim Edited by @SultanAlQassemi @ToddReisz @BuildingSharjah

Wonderful book that tells the stories behind the buildings and spaces of Sharjah. The emirate's long history with Kuwait is also reflected in many of the area names that they share: الفيحاء، القادسية، الرقة، اليرموك، دسمان، المرقاب

@aaldakheelalla الف مبروك وبالتوفيق

@Shuja3_ Only going to be worse

Am I the only one who noticed more traffic lately? You can actually feel the influx of new residents.

12 Reasons Why Cities Need More Trees: 1. Temperature Control One large tree is equivalent to 10 air conditioning units, and the shade they provide can reduce street temperature by more than 30%. 2. Noise Reduction Trees can reduce loudness by up to 50%. In urban areas filled with the sound of cars, construction, sirens, aeroplanes, and music, trees are essentially the best way to block noise and keep cities — along with the homes and workplaces in them — quieter. 3. Air Purity Trees remove an astonishing amount of harmful pollutants and toxins from the air. In urban areas air quality is often disastrously bad — with severe consequences for our health. Trees make the air we breathe much cleaner. 4. Oxygen And, while absorbing all those pollutants, trees also put more oxygen back into the urban environment. Oxygen levels are significantly lower in cities compared to the countryside; trees help to solve that problem. 5. Water Management Trees do more than just shelter us and our buildings from rain — which is, in fact, extremely important. They also absorb huge quantities of water, reduce run-off, neutralise the severity of flooding, and make flooding more unlikely altogether. Not to forget that their roots absorb pollutants and prevent them from feeding back into a city's water supply. 6. Psychological Health Studies have proven what we instinctively know to be true: that human beings are significantly happier when surrounded by nature rather than sterile urban environments. Our emotions, behaviour, and thoughts are shaped by the places we spend time — and trees have a profoundly positive effect on our psychology. The consequential benefits of being happier and more peaceful — as individuals and as a society — are immense. 7. Physical Health Beyond all the other ways in which trees improve air quality and the urban environment, much to the benefit of our health, they also encourage people to go outside. Cycling, running, and walking are all more common in urban areas with plenty of trees. A knock-on effect of people spending more time outdoors is also social integration and stronger communities. 8. Privacy A simple point, but not inconsequential, is that trees provide privacy. 9. Economics The total economic benefit of urban trees is hard to calculate. There are costs, of course, including the repair of infrastructure damaged by roots and maintaining the trees themselves. But the total economic benefit — a consequence of everything else in this list and more — far outweighs the expenditure. Trees make cities wealthier. 10. Wildlife Trees are miniature cities all of their own, serving as a habitat for hundreds of different species, including birds and mammals and insects. 11. Light Pollution Trees don't only block the light shining down, therefore keeping us and our cities cooler — they also disrupt light shining up, from street lighting, cars, houses, and billboards. Skies are clearer in cities with more trees. 12. Aesthetics And, finally, trees are beautiful. They break up the potential monotony of urban environments — the sharp geometry, the greyscale roads and buildings, the endless rows of cars — with their trunks, boughs, canopies, and flowers. Just think: the gold and red of falling leaves in autumn, the white and pink blossom of spring, the vast green canopies of summer, and the branches lined with hoar-frost in winter. Every single tree is a myriad of intricacy and texture, of colour and scent, of dappled light on the pavement, mottled bark, knotted roots, of clustered leaves and delicate petals and stern boughs. Few streets would not be improved by the kaleidoscopic aesthetic delights of a tree, not to mention the many different species of tree, all over the world, whether willow, oak, lime, cherry, aspen, maple, birch, horse chestnut, dogwood, hornbeam, ash, sycamore... the list goes on. There are some drawbacks to urban trees, most of them context-specific, and they are not — of course — universally appropriate. But it seems fair to say that many cities would benefit from at least a few more trees here and there.
