☆ I'm an American who visited Dubai for the first time. Here are 11 things I wish I knew before I went.

Now I know the winter season is the best time to visit, mostly because of the pleasant weather. Summer in Dubai is supposedly brutal so visiting during the winter season is the move. When I went in January 2022, the temperature ranged from 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit without any humidity. The temperature was also perfect when I stayed in the city and went to the desert. There was a slight breeze by the sea and marina, but nothing that required a jacket during the day.

A recent string of plane safety incidents has made many more concerned about flying. Right-wing commentators including Elon Musk have baselessly decided that DEI initiatives are to blame. AdvertisementRight-wing commentators have a new theory to explain the recent series of high-profile plane safety incidents — and they are claiming that diversity initiatives are to blame. Conservative commentators have converged around the idea that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are jeopardizing plane safety, baselessly claiming that underqualified minorities have been promoted in the industry. AdvertisementExperts say that it is not just misguided to blame DEI initiatives for a reduction in the quality of workers, but also that it is less entrenched than its critics imagine.

Nov 21 (Reuters) - Beth Mead has been recalled to the England squad for the first time in over a year after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Manager Sarina Wiegman named her squad for the Lionesses' last two games of the Nations League on Tuesday. Team GB is made up of players from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and as the highest ranked British team, England are the nominated nation to qualify on Britain's behalf. This means Scotland may need to lose against England if they are to take part in the Olympics. The Netherlands have a home game with Belgium in their final group game.

SYDNEY, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Alessia Russo's second-half goal lifted England to a thrilling 2-1 quarter-final victory over Colombia on Saturday and into the Women's World Cup semi-finals for the third consecutive time. Lauren Hemp also scored for the European champions, who now face hosts Australia on Wednesday in Sydney for a place in their first World Cup final. "England fans can always dare to dream but we'll carry on working hard," Russo said. Lorena Bedoya Durango had an excellent chance at an equaliser with a long-range effort late in regulation time that Earps deflected over the crossbar. Eighteen-year-old Linda Caicedo, who was one of the most exciting players at the World Cup, had a last chance deep in extra time but shook her head after firing the ball over the bar.

When the tournament was expanded to 32 teams, there was apprehension around whether lower-ranked sides could compete at this level. Concerns about blowouts were blown out of the water in a changing of the guard. Japan are the only previous World Cup champions remaining, having climbed the winners' podium in 2011. In an end of an era, the elimination of the U.S., Canada and Brazil marked inauspicious World Cup finales for some of the game's biggest trailblazers in Megan Rapinoe, Christine Sinclair and Marta. The Lionesses have more big-game experience as reigning European champions, but Colombia have enjoyed better fan support than any team except Australia.

The federal government is embracing remote work and cutting back its office footprint nationally. President Joe Biden and Donald Trump might not appear to agree on much, but when it comes to cutting back on office space, they're aligned. Now federal tenants are in for a new phase of belt-tightening as more accept remote and hybrid work, real estate experts say. "The majority of federal offices are still largely vacant on most days," said Darian LeBlanc, the director of government services at Cushman & Wakefield. So far, only the Department of Veterans Affairs has publicly said how it plans to use remote and hybrid work.

He and his party, which built Italy’s center-right coalition when he entered politics in 1994, had become increasingly irrelevant. In 2018, the conservative leadership moved to Matteo Salvini, the hard-right leader of the nationalist League party (formerly the Northern League party). By 2020, the once marginal post-Fascist party Brothers of Italy had outperformed Mr. Berlusconi’s once powerful Forza Italia. But Mr. Berlusconi still dreamed big. In the most right-wing government since Mussolini, Mr. Berlusconi argued that he would keep a toe in the center.

United stay top on 47 points after 19 games of the 22-game season, six ahead of second-placed Manchester City and seven ahead of Chelsea, but the Blues have three games in hand over the leaders. It was a tough defeat for Villa, for whom striker Rachel Daly opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a brilliantly-timed looping header from a corner, but Leah Galton's first-time finish brought United back level six minutes later. The 31-year-old Daly put her side in front again eight minutes before the break, netting her 17th goal of the season to draw level with WSL top scorer Khadija Shaw of Manchester City. She almost completed her hat-trick on the hour mark but her left-foot shot clipped the crossbar, and instead United drew level as Nikita Parris headed home Hannah Blundell's cross.
