All Whole Foods Markets will have access to Amazon’s palm-scanning payment technology before the end of the year.

According to a recent announcement from Amazon, all 500+ Whole Foods locations will have access to Amazon One, the company’s palm-scanning payment system, by the end of 2023. The contactless Amazon One payment system was first deployed by Amazon in 2020, but its growth by the end of 2023 will be the largest to date.

In other words, Amazon One is a different type of contactless biometric authentication like Apple’s Face ID that operates by the user screening their palm above a reader. However, Amazon One scans your palm’s ridges, lines, and distinctive vein patterns rather than your face. Someone can’t just take a photo of your palm and start stocking up on pricey cheeses at Whole Foods at your expense, thanks to this interpretation of deeper subcutaneous traits.

You may shop and make purchases without even having to bring your phone or wallet with you thanks to your palm signature, which is connected to your Amazon Prime account or just a credit card. Currently, 200 Whole Foods locations in the US as well as 200 other retail locations provide Amazon One. By the end of the year, Amazon’s rollout will increase the number of Amazon One payment outlets to over 700. Amazon One is also currently available at some Panera Bread restaurants and Coors Field in Colorado.

As of right now, Amazon One has “more than 3 million uses,” which is likely to indicate “transactions.” Despite sounding like a lot, three million is just roughly one million Amazon One transactions every year since its debut.

CardRates reports that there were 39.6 billion transactions made with credit cards in the United States alone in 2019 to further contextualize it.

However, it takes time for new technology to become widely used, and Amazon has made it clear that it believes the palm-scanning payment method has greater potential by expanding Amazon One to all Whole Foods stores.

The expansion was disclosed in a statement by Whole Foods Market’s chief technology officer, Leandro Balbinot. We’re thrilled to offer Amazon One to each and every one of our customers in the United States, he said. “We’ve seen consumers love the convenience it provides since we created Amazon One at Whole Foods Market stores over the past two years.”

Sales of champagne are increasing. But because to climate change, its flavor may soon shift irrevocably.

According to the champagne trade association Comité Champagne, 325.5 million bottles of champagne were transported from Champagne in 2022, with 6.3 billion euros ($6.9 billion) in sales.
As to the S&P Global Sustainable1 report, the Champagne region’s susceptibility to physical risk brought on by drought is expected to almost triple by the 2050s, which will present significant issues for vineyards.
Critics claim that some champagnes actually taste drastically different from the champagne that people used to drink.

For generations, champagne has been a symbol of festivals and opulence. However, rising temperatures and more unpredictable weather in Europe are raising concerns that the Champagne area of France may no longer be appropriate for its production.

According to the champagne trade association Comité Champagne, more than 325 million bottles of champagne were delivered from Champagne in 2022, topping 6 billion euros ($6.6 billion) in sales for the first time. The United States, Great Britain, and Japan are the three largest markets.

The committee offered a “prudent outlook” for 2023, but it also stated that Champagne growers and houses “remain confident in the essential health of their business.”

However, the state of the climate casts doubt on the beverage’s future; champagne houses will need to adapt in order to survive, and the taste of champagne may change along the way.

grapes with sun damage and ruined taste
According to the S&P Global Sustainable1 report, the Champagne region’s susceptibility to physical risk brought on by drought is expected to almost triple by the 2050s, which will present significant issues for vineyards.

A score of 100 denotes the highest level of risk exposure. The report rates regions on a scale of 1 to 100. If current climate policies are left unchanged, it was predicted that the danger of drought in Champagne will increase from its current level of 16 to 43 by the 2050s and double to 88 by the 2090s.

There are other factors besides drought that can affect productivity. The weather has been more unpredictable in recent years, with an increase in the frequency of fires, floods, and frosts.
Although grapes can still thrive in a changing climate, the environment can affect the fruit’s growth and harm it.

According to Matt Hodgson, CEO of English wine shop Grape Britannia, “[If the grapes] get exposed to too extreme UV rays, they will get an equivalent of our sunburn and that will basically… damage the flavor.”
The grapes’ acidity, that provides champagne its freshness and “intangible zip and zing,” can also be altered by the additional heat, according to Hodgson.

International companies are conscious of the profound effects that climate change may have on their operations.

Champagne technique
The most well-known champagne rule is that it must be made in the Champagne region of France, but there are many other appellation requirements that must be followed, such as particular vineyard practices, sourcing grapes from particular regions, specific grape-pressing procedures, and the use of only particular grape varieties.

All phases of the production process for Champagne must take place there, right up before the labeling of the bottle. Pesticide use and further acidification are prohibited. However, champagne companies are making adjustments to their procedures to keep production inside the rigorous bounds of the laws.

The temperature variations also cause champagne’s inherent sweetness to increase.

You no longer need to add sugar because we have so much sun and so much sugar in the juice, according to Sarazin. Although it hasn’t been a problem so far, we still need to take care of it.

Taste change that is “definite”
Critics claim that some champagnes already taste significantly different from champagne that was consumed in the past.

According to champagne writer Tom Hewson, “in terms of flavor, what you’re noticing a lot of are much riper characteristics,” adding that this puts sparkling wine closer to other white wines and renders it “a more transparent wine.”

Susy Atkins, a wine judge and reviewer, has also observed recent changes in champagne’s flavor.

In the first quarter of 2022, Dubai’s economy expanded by 2.8%.

To $30.3 billion, real gross domestic product increased.
The first quarter of 2018 saw Dubai’s GDP expand by 2.8% annually to Dh111.3 billion ($30.3 billion), maintaining the “robust momentum of growth” the emirate experienced in 2022 when it grew by 4.4%.

Dubai’s growth is higher than the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries’ seasonally adjusted growth output of 1.6%. The US economy expanded by 1.8% in the first quarter compared to the European Union’s 1.1% growth.

“The continuing rapid development in the first quarter of the year is another testament to Dubai’s strong fundamentals, sustainability, and resilience, as well as its ability to continually develop new pathways for business and creativity to flourish,”

“Dubai continues to outperform some of the world’s leading economies, backed by its exceptional investment environment, robust infrastructure, and business-enabling ecosystem.”
A strategic springboard has been built to usher in a new cycle of growth and value creation, according to Sheikh Hamdan, with the establishment of Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which plans to grow the emirate’s economy by a factor of two during the following ten years.

Dubai’s trade industry added Dh25.5 billion to the economy in the first quarter compared to the same time in 2022. According to a statement from the Dubai Government’s media office, which used statistics from the Dubai statistics and Statistics Establishment of the Dubai Digital Authority, it represented 22.9% of economic production.

The transportation and storage industry in the emirate surpassed all others, growing 10.3% in the first quarter compared to the same period a year prior, bringing in Dh15.6 billion and making up 14.1% of output.

The activities connected to land transport for people and products, sea transport, storage and handling, postal services, air transport for people and goods, and related supporting operations were all included in the transportation and storage sector.

The first quarter saw a 3.2% increase in financial and insurance activity in Dubai, which contributed Dh14.2 billion to the economy and roughly 13% of GDP.

As Dubai welcomed 4.67 million foreign tourists in the first three months of the year, an 18% rise over the same period in 2022, the emirate’s lodging and food services climbed by 5.6%, contributing Dh4.5 billion to the economy.

Strong cross-industry and public-private partnerships is further bolstering the economy’s momentum, which is still increasing in both its core sectors and its newly emerging segments.

According to him, comprehensive initiatives centered on entrepreneurship, economic diversification, and the recruitment of talent and investment throughout sectors are promoting growth and stabilizing the economy’s momentum.

“This economic structure is going to continue to function as a key lever for D33 as we seek to bolster Dubai’s offerings as a top three global city, and an excellent place to invest, live, work, and visit,”

Real estate activity increased by 2.4%, driven by an increase in property sales, with the industry contributing 7.4% to overall economic growth.

New Rules and Tougher Penalties for Unlicensed Healthcare Workers in UAE

The statutes also establish a national register, set standards for private healthcare facilities, and cover veterinary medicine.

A new set of laws to enhance the regulations for healthcare jobs has received approval from the UAE government. Tuesday saw the sharing of this. There were also some adjustments.

People who find themselves engaged in healthcare without the appropriate license or without fulfilling the requirements will face harsher penalties, under the new legislation.

The regulations also include information on caring for animals, standards for private healthcare facilities, and the creation of a national list.

The laws also specify how to take care of animals, how private healthcare facilities should operate, and how to compile a national list.

Following are some salient features of the new laws:
regulating a range of healthcare occupations, including anesthesia, therapy, cosmetics, and nursing.
increasing the severity of the penalties for those who work in healthcare without authorization or in violation of the rules.
The statutes emphasize the value of proper conduct and obligations for healthcare professionals.
updating the severity of the penalties for errors and the viability of continuing to operate and provide patient care for private healthcare facilities.
the compilation of a national list of qualified healthcare professionals.
enabling businesspeople and international investors to establish and own veterinary services. This increases the country’s appeal for foreign investors in the veterinary industry.

UAE promises to let COP28 protests about climate change.

The United Arab Emirates has said that it will permit environmentalists to freely assemble and “make their voices heard” at this year’s UN climate conference.

In an agreement with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that was released on Tuesday, the announcement was made.
According to the statement, “there will be space accessible to climate activists to come together peacefully and make their voices heard in accordance with UNFCCC guidelines and respect to international standards and principles.”

In the oil-rich Gulf nation, which will host COP28 in the commercial center of Dubai from November to December, official approval is needed for rallies, although the government virtually forbids protests they deem disruptive.

The bilateral agreement that establishes the framework for planning and hosting the climate talks was signed by UNFCCC Executive Director Simon Stiell and COP28 President Sultan al-Jaber after the issuance of the joint statement.

We are steadfastly dedicated to making sure that UN values are preserved at COPs in order to advance climate action and ambition, Stiell said.
The views of youth, women, local communities, people of Indigenous descent, and those who are most affected by climate change will be acknowledged and reflected in this COP process, we are also making all possible efforts to ensure.

A contentious decision
The UAE ranks among the top emitters of CO2 per person in the world and is a significant producer of oil.

Environmental organizations have criticized the decision to have it host COP28 because they believe that having an oil exporter participate could impede the progress being made in the fight over global warming.

Activists expressed outrage over the appointment of Al-Jaber, the CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., to lead the negotiations and raised the concern of a conflict of interest.Al-Jaber has also come under fire for ignoring the need to phase out the usage of fossil fuels in favor of concentrating on initiatives to lower emissions.
Antonio Guterres, the secretary-general of the UN, issued a warning in June urging nations to begin phase-outs of coal, oil, and gas.

“Fossil fuel emissions are only one aspect of the issue. It’s fossil fuels, plain and simple,” Guterres told the media.

Human Rights Watch and other non-governmental organizations have also issued warnings that the Gulf state’s limits on free speech could prevent climate campaigners from actively participating.

The decision to hold the conference in the UAE was questioned in May by a number of human and environmental rights organizations, who expressed concern that “severe limitations enforced by the authorities in the UAE in recent years will impede the full meaningful involvement of journalists, activists, human rights opponents, civil society, youth groups, and indigenous peoples’ representatives at COP28.”

Most previous COPs have seen sizable protests, and during the most recent UN climate negotiations in Egypt, where governments frequently crack down on protesters and arrest activists, only small marches were permitted.

In Egypt, authorized protests could only take place in a designated area that was heavily guarded and only during particular hours.

Ferry service between Dubai and Sharjah is glad to be back.

50 trips each week will be made by boat, and tickets start at Dh15.
After being forced to stop during the Covid-19 outbreak, the boat service connecting Dubai and Sharjah is now operating once more.

Seven days a week, the service is run from Al Ghubaiba Marine Station in Dubai and Aquarium Marine Station in Sharjah by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority.

The distance between the two stations can be traveled in around 35 minutes.

Single-trip tickets in the Silver Class and Gold Class are priced at Dh15 and Dh25, respectively; however, passengers with disabilities and kids below the age of five go for free.

Travelers have hailed the return of the service, which gives customers the opportunity to bypass gridlock on congested Dubai-Sharjah routes.

On Saturday, Nikhil SP, 36, an Indian sales and marketing employee at the Sharjah Occidental Hotel, boarded the ship for the first time.

His coworkers who had previously utilized the service suggested it to him.

He told The National, “Normally I take the car, but since they restarted the operation I thought why not take it instead.”

This is my first time, but I believe it’s a choice I might make more frequently going forward because it’s simpler, more enjoyable, and prevents delays and traffic jams.

Before the boat service was discontinued, George Mathew, a 37-year-old Indian, was a frequent user.

Although he lives in Sharjah and has the majority of his pals there, he frequently takes the ferry to see them.

Every weekend, I used to take it to go meet up with my pals, Mr. George recalled.

“When my wife visited Dubai before the pandemic, we used to take it every time we wanted to go sightseeing there.”

He claimed that Sharjah people will find the service to be highly useful.

It brings travelers right to the center of Dubai, where they can use any other form of public transportation.

Operating hours There will be 50 journeys on the Dubai-Sharjah ferry each week, with eight excursions per day from Monday through Thursday and six trips per day from Friday through Sunday.

There will be two morning departures from Sharjah at 7am and 8.30am, as well as one morning departure from Dubai at 7.45am, from Monday through Thursday.

There will be three trips from Dubai at 4 pm, 5.30 pm, and 7 pm in the evening, along with two trips from Sharjah at 4.45 pm and 6.15 pm.

There will be three trips each way starting at noon on Friday through Sunday. There will be extra departure times from Sharjah at 2pm, 4pm, and 6pm, and from Dubai at 3pm, 5pm, and 8pm.

Chad receives military and security gear from the UAE

To aid Chad’s efforts to combat terrorism and strengthen border security, the UAE has donated a convoy of military vehicles and security gear.

Delivering the supplies to Lt Gen Daoud Yahya Brahim, Chad’s Minister of Defense, along with the commanders of the army and reserve forces and other senior military figures, was Rashid Al Shamsi, the UAE ambassador to Chad.

Mr. Brahim commended the UAE for its ongoing assistance, saying that it will help the region achieve peace and stability again. According to him, military cooperation is crucial to increasing security and attempts to overcome obstacles.

The initiative fits within the context of the close ties that exist between the UAE and Chad on many levels, which have led to the signing of a number of bilateral agreements, which includes a military cooperation agreement in June during Mahamat Idriss Deby, the chairman of the Transitional Military Council of Chad,’s official visit to Abu Dhabi.
The UAE has given food and humanitarian aid to Sudanese refugees in Chad who have fled their war-torn country. Additionally, Amdjarass received a field hospital.

Since April 15, when violence among the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces broken out in Khartoum, the UN estimates that more than 300,000 people have fled from Darfur to Chad.

Since the beginning of the crisis, the UAE has run an air and sea bridge to the area, delivering approximately 2,000 tonnes of food, medicine, and aid to Port Sudan and Chad.

Dubai’s Downtown will see new construction in 2023.

In Dubai, 2022 turned out to be a prosperous year for real estate. Investors bought homes on very benevolent terms, and they have already begun to see a return on their investment. If you’ve been looking for property in Downtown to buy since it’s one of the most promising areas in 2023, you’d better act quickly because there will be a few new projects going up there.

Property in Dubai

More than 70,000 properties are expected to enter the market in Dubai between 2022 and 2025, a record number since 120,000 houses entered the market in 2009, according to predictions from Knight Frank.

It should be noted, meanwhile, that 30–40% of the commissioning scheduled for 2022 will actually happen in 2023 due to building delays.

Villas will only make up 15% of the new supply, which will maintain a stronger demand for them than for apartments.

The average price of residential property in Dubai is still 26.6% below the most recent market high. At the same time, the market’s enthusiasm may wane in the mass segment in 2023. Due to weaker demand, prices are probably going to start to stagnate, but they probably won’t go down. In contrast, price increases in the elite market will only pick up steam in 2023 due to a supply crunch.

Thus, only 2,700 units, or 3.6% of the entire anticipated supply, will reach the elite market this year.
City center

Dubai’s downtown is the most opulent and affluent part of the city. Both business and tourism are thriving there. Downtown was built by Emaar, the leading development business in the United Arab Emirates. There are currently over 30,000 homes available for purchase, ranging from tiny pleasant apartments in complexes with low-rise structures to luxurious apartments with panoramic windows and views of the Burj Khalifa.

Dubai’s downtown is situated in the city’s middle. The Burj Khalifa tower, the main draw of the UAE, is situated here. The renowned dancing fountain and Dubai Mall are also at its base.

In 1998, work on the area started. Along with hospitals, schools, and kindergartens, the area has seen the growth of residential and office towers. There are now hotels, amusement parks, banks, shops, and restaurants. Even now, the city’s Downtown is still evolving. Foreign investors are drawn to the region since it is a freehold area where it is legal for non-residents to buy property. Downtown’s popularity as a tourist destination ensures strong short-term rental income.

26 new developments are planned for the UAE by 2023, including ones in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates

The UAE’s skyline is continually changing as new cities, structures, and even islands are created.

The UAE is now among the most advanced and sophisticated nations in the world thanks to the enormous development it has undergone in the previous ten years.

The same number of projects are expected to be completed in 2023 as were last year.

For information on the upcoming megaprojects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other locations, see the slideshow above and the list below.

The dates of completion could change.

Dubai’s Burj Binghatti
Since Burj Khalifa won the title of “world’s tallest tower” back in 2010, there have been a few contenders, and this one is vying for the slightly different title of “world’s tallest residential tower.”

According to developer Binghatti, Burj Binghatti will feature “more than 112 storeys” and give residents the opportunity to “live amidst the clouds.”

It is being developed in Business Bay in collaboration with the New York-based watch and jewelry company Jacob & Co.

Burj Binghatti needs to rise higher than the existing record-holder, New York’s Central Park Tower, which stands at 472-meters, in order to claim the title of highest residential tower in the world.

Jebel Ali Palm
It doesn’t get a lot bigger than this in terms of size.

Off the coast of Dubai, the man-made island known as Palm Jebel Ali has been inert for some time but could soon start to bloom.

Late last year, the island’s developer Nakheel announced that it is reviewing its plans. Observe this space.

URB’s Agri Hub

Although there are many different sizes and shapes of tourist attractions in Dubai, this one is a little different.

The creator of Agri Hub, URB, claims that it will expand to be the biggest of its kind in the world and produce 10,000 employment.

It will provide enjoyment, excitement, and food security. Although the exact location has not yet been chosen, a few potential sites are being examined for their suitability.

The Dubai Agri Hub will offer a new style of tourism. Photo: URB

Urban Tech District of Dubai
This urban technology zone, another from the same developer, URB, will be situated on the Creekside of the Al Jaddaf neighborhood in Dubai.

According to URB CEO Baharash Bagherian, “The Urban Tech District will be an innovative global tech hub for urban innovation.” With a total built-up area of 140,000 square meters, it will be the largest urban tech zone in the world, making Dubai the hub for urban innovation.

The region is expected to generate 4,000 jobs and be able to conduct conferences, seminars, company incubation programs, training, and research sessions.

Ethnic Rail
The train project, a recurring entry on this list, has advanced significantly during the past 12 months as construction has accelerated.

The UAE will be connected to the rest of the Gulf after the rail network is finished. The project’s first stage is in use and is utilized to move supplies and materials throughout the Emirates.

The project was 70% finished as of December, with the railway line between Abu Dhabi and Dubai being joined in March and Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah being connected in October.

Although the exact route and start date for the UAE passenger line have not yet been revealed, construction plans for the first passenger stop in Fujairah have been made public.

The Anantara World Islands

Dubai Resort was the first hotel to open there in November as the World Islands Activity on the massive project off the coast of Dubai has been picking up.

The Heart of Europe project by Kleindienst Group is also almost complete, and the Oman island will be developed by Dubai-based builder and contractor Inspire Home Contracting.

The Heart of Europe, a six-island group in the midst of Dubai’s The World islands, will contain 4,000 apartments once all of its phases are finished.

Solar Park for Mohammed bin Rashid
In an effort to minimize its dependency on natural gas and diversify its energy sources, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) is constructing the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest solar energy park in the world.

The fourth phase will reduce carbon emissions by 1.6 million tonnes annually and supply sustainable energy for around 320,000 homes.

The park’s sixth phase will start to become accessible beginning in Q3 2025.

On Saadiyat Island, work on the Natural History Museum is ongoing and 25% of it was finished in October.

The 35,000 square meter project will take guests on a 14 billion year trip across time and space, from the beginning of the universe to the future of the Earth.

The museum is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2025, according to tourism officials.
National Museum of Zayed
From a distance, one can see the Saadiyat Island construction site’s rising cluster of skyscrapers, which resemble falcon’s wings.

The museum, which was created by renowned British architects Foster + Partners, will tell the tale of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE, and emphasize the history of the country.

Is Dubai Safe for Travel?

The United Arab Emirates are made up of seven emirates, including Dubai.

It is a relatively new location that gained popularity recently as a result of the infrastructure’s rapid expansion.

It is without a doubt the most advanced and cutting-edge emirate in the UAE and may be regarded as a sort of independent city-state.

It has been developing tremendously quickly for years, and tourists flock there in droves to take in the latest technological and architectural marvels as well as the never-before-seen shopping malls. Dubai is a fantastic short-break destination where you can unwind and rest from your travels with a little bit of shopping, sunbathing, dining, and taking in many social events. It is only five hours from Europe and three hours from most of the Middle East and Near East, as well as the subcontinent of India.

  • Travelers might feel very protected in Dubai. The UAE is allegedly one of the safest nations in the world. In general, if you intend to travel to the UAE, safety shouldn’t be a concern.
  • You run a small chance of getting into an accident when driving because of erratic driving behavior. Off-road driving is obviously not advised because it can result in harmful collisions.
  • Make sure your car is outfitted properly and that you have extra water on you.
  • Despite the fact that pickpocketing is believed to be uncommon in the UAE, where the majority of people are foreigners, it nevertheless occurs because the country receives up to 14 million visitors each year. It is advised that you should be aware of your surroundings, especially when near Jemeirah Beach, which is a well-known pickpocket hotspot.
  • High temperatures, over 50C, are one of the natural calamities affecting Dubai. Both thunderstorms and sandstorms are frequent occurrences in this nation. Visiting the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System if you want to learn more about natural disasters.
  • As previously said, the UAE is a country where the majority of the population is made up of foreigners, hence incidents like mugging and kidnapping, particularly in Dubai, are quite rare. Foreigners avoid committing crimes since doing so would result in their instant deportation.
  • Threats to strike the Gulf region are still being made by terrorists in their public pronouncements. These strikes might target strategic locations such restaurants, hotels, beaches, shopping malls, and mosques as well as military, oil, transportation, and aviation targets. Make sure you are constantly aware of your surroundings.
  • There are hardly any scams in this region because it is a wealthy and thriving nation. Avoid con artists who will try to convince you to answer questions to win prize. To sell travel package they do this.
  • When visiting cities in Europe, Canada, the United States, or Australia, female tourists are subject to the same level of risk as male passengers. Take the usual safety precautions and steer clear of dark places and late-night street walks.
    Dubai is a really safe place to visit.

    Although there is crime—especially in and around popular tourist destinations—it rarely targets visitors.

    In Dubai, domestic violence predominates.

    Because the majority of people (workers) in the UAE are foreigners and the majority of the population is prosperous, pickpockets are less likely to target you because of this.

    In addition, the bulk of the people you’ll encounter are foreigners, which means that if they try to conduct any crimes, they will be deported right away. This fact alone deters crime.

    When it pertains to street violence and crime, pickpocketing poses the greatest risk, especially in and near well-known monuments and popular tourist sites like Jumeirah Beach and in less affluent neighbourhoods like Sonapur, Shindagha, and Satwa.

    Natural calamities like sandstorms and thunderstorms, as well as the ongoing possibility of a terrorist attack, particularly in the Gulf region, should be considered while planning a trip to the UAE.
