Search narrows for Sheikh Ahmed



According to the state news agency WAM, the UAE search and rescue team has narrowed down its search for Sheikh Ahmed bin Zayed, the managing director of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Sheikh Ahmed, a younger brother of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, disappeared when the glider he was in crashed into a lake near Rabat, the capital of Morocco. He has been missing since Friday. WAM reported today that the search had been narrowed down to minor spaces after ensuring that far spots of the lake were combed thoroughly. Teams from at least five countries are searching for Sheikh Ahmed. The UAE search and rescue team praised the efforts of the Moroccan government for allowing the search to take place throughout the day and night. They also praised them for helping them deal with the critical geographic conditions in the area, WAM reported. * WAM

Three ways to get a gratitude glow

By committing to at least one of these daily, you can bring more gratitude into your life, says Ong.

  • During your morning skincare routine, name five things you are thankful for about yourself.
  • As you finish your skincare routine, look yourself in the eye and speak an affirmation, such as: “I am grateful for every part of me, including my ability to take care of my skin.”
  • In the evening, take some deep breaths, notice how your skin feels, and listen for what your skin is grateful for.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut

Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
