The year was 2029. Dubai, the city of extravagance, was known for its luxurious hotels, record-breaking skyscrapers, and artificial wonders. But beneath the glitz, a hidden crisis brewed – water scarcity.
Dubai's desert location made water a precious commodity, and desalination plants, the mainstay of water supply, were straining. Public anxieties grew as water restrictions tightened.
Then, a glimmer of hope emerged from an unlikely source – a young Emirati architect named Fatima. Fatima, known for her innovative designs, unveiled a revolutionary project at a global sustainability conference. It wasn't another desalination plant, but a network of "living buildings."
These bio-integrated structures were covered in specially engineered algae that thrived on wastewater and sunlight. The algae acted as a natural filtration system, purifying the wastewater while simultaneously producing clean water and biomass – a renewable energy source.
The world watched in awe as the first living building, a glistening green tower, rose in Dubai's heart. Skepticism soon turned to amazement as the building not only generated its own clean water but also excess energy for the surrounding neighborhood. The impact was immediate. Water restrictions eased, and Dubai's carbon footprint shrank.
Fatima's innovation sparked a global movement. Cities across the world began incorporating living architecture into their infrastructure. Dubai, once a symbol of excessive consumption, became a pioneer in sustainable development.
Fatima's story became an inspiration for a generation. A young Emirati woman, with a bold idea and unwavering determination, not only solved her city's water crisis but offered the world a path to a more sustainable future. Dubai, the city of extravagance, redefined its image, proving that progress and environmental responsibility could go hand in hand.
Do you think Fatima could do it?
Thank you
Abu Nahyan Al Nuaimi

this shot is so simple and obvious but i love it. the beam of sunlight dividing the room, the invading instrument of claudia's death, close enough for louis to hurt himself with; but does louis know that it's no real barrier for armand? does louis know that armand could cross that threshold and reach him? does louis know that armand could get up and close the curtains if he wanted the room to be safe, but leaves them open anyway? does louis still believe the sun holds as much power over armand as it does over him?
#thinking about how armand rips some of the newspaper away from the windows in SF to let the light in#and later he's the one who controls when the sun can be let in in dubai#i wonder when exactly armand revealed to louis that it affects him less#it seems to me like something he'd keep to himself as long as he could. i dont think louis knew in paris#iwtv#armand#louis de pointe du lac

Imagine plotting your crazy husband’s death with your sister in a way where you make sure there’s a 50/50 chance he survives. You end up feeling so guilty and sad you hallucinate that he’s there to the point other people around you notice. Your sister finds a cult group that match her freak. You then fall for the cult’s sexy and crazy leader who dated your husband. You make the executive decision to break up with your dream husband. You think all is well but then your sister’s diary where she documents everything and we mean everything gets stolen by your boyfriend’s cult followers. Your boyfriend then lies to you, your sister and her girlfriend and has the three of you ambushed by his cult because guess what? They found your husband and he’s not too happy at what you and your sister did. But the cult, your boyfriend and your husband do not realize that you’re a lot crazier than you’ve let on.

my research partner and i are huddled in a blanket in paddington waiting for a too-late train i already miss you and you and you
#he keeps falling asleep almost on my shoulder and waking up and readjusting but i want to tell him its ok weve seen a lot#of each other ive seen your brainwaves you called me crying a few nights ago. research partner right now is a potentiality#friend is a certainty. i met a banker passionate about finance. he said his advice made the lives of others better and he likes the numbers#more than he likes anything else. on a high rise near canary wharf the view was wonderful and the people even moreso#he said i loved her but i spent 33 grand on her and i cant do this anymore. his voice cracked talking about her. he did love her.#and she talked softly she grabbed my hand she bought me a pack of Marlborough gold she told me to snap#the russian menthol cigarettes of the tortured polish man near us with my teeth i kept staring at her teeth#bright white and sharp. i couldnt find her heartbeat but i did find warmth and i did find her lips and i did feel#how she felt pressed against a wall. a pretty boy held my hand and i gave him my number. i couldnt stop smiling about her no matter#how many runways youve walked on how many collections youve designed how many students youve taught. senior lecturer teaches me how to do#very unethical things ethically over a double shot of vodka made by the half-persian with broken farsi. she talks softly#and she says her eyes are hazel but they appear a shade of red. pure gold on her hands and leather on her back and her fingers on my lips#(she talks softly sees through me she says something i cant hear but i wont forget the way she flies) she talked to my research partner#about the possibility of moving to sunny dubai with the rest of her family and my heart felt pierced. on her arm i traces a tattoo of a#knife passing through a rose. she told me she thought there was romance in severing so i kissed her some more.#he sat me down and asked me what i loved and i told him and he said no romance no person no tragedy will take that from you.#the room was filled with a collection of people in love with something that wasnt a person and i kept looking at her.#red eyes bitten jawline beautiful hands. it is 3 degrees Celsius my head is on his shoulder i miss my friends#we walked out the lecture hall with arms linked a photo of two years ago and we both said#jesus christ. i miss you all. and i miss logic metatheory lectures. im glad i get to stare at the depth of your eyes#i wish i had met you years ago.#crushposting

one of my favorite things about him in y4 is the constant joking about his divorce
#ash rambles 💚#my partner in (not) crime 🔍#it's honestly pretty amusing ajdjajdj#he takes the divorced dad jokes and just cranks them up to the max in this game#ash is standing nearby in this scene and she just laughs and is like 'wonderful lady but for my sake... i sure hope you're not.'#it felt so nice to see him back in his usual detective outfit again at the end#don't get me wrong#the bartender outfit is amazing and i loved seeing him in more casual clothing#but#it's not really mako without the beige coat is it? he's worn it for like... 8 games straight#actually ash has worn the same red coat for the past 8 games too ajdhajsn their designs just. Haven't changed#been rocking the red coat since 2005 babyyyy#since. you know. thats when the first game takes place#actually ash started wearing it a few years before because she bought it when she quit being a cop#eh#little details#anyways back to hw for me#oh omg. i recently got to try that viral dubai pistachio chocolate?? good shit.

Dubai in 2050. Real or Fake?
Dubai, the city of extravagant dreams built on desert sands, constantly pushes the boundaries of what's possible. As we approach 2050, imagining what this futuristic metropolis might hold is fascinating. Here's a glimpse into a potential Dubai of the future:
A Sustainable Oasis in the Desert:
Harnessing the Sun: Dubai's reliance on fossil fuels will be a distant memory. Vast solar farms blanketing the desert will generate clean energy, with cutting-edge technology making solar power even more efficient.
Vertical Greenery: Sustainable high-rises will be adorned with vertical farms, transforming buildings into self-sufficient ecosystems that produce fresh food and regulate temperature.
Eco-Friendly Transportation: Self-driving pods and electric hyperloops will whisk residents across the city at lightning speeds, leaving behind minimal environmental impact.
A Tech-Powered Metropolis:
Smart Homes and Cities: Homes will be seamlessly integrated with AI, anticipating your needs and optimizing energy consumption. Smart city infrastructure will manage traffic flow, optimize resource allocation, and personalize experiences for citizens.
Immersive Experiences: Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) will become commonplace, blurring the lines between the real and digital worlds. Imagine exploring historical landmarks or attending concerts virtually from the comfort of your home.
Innovation Hub: Dubai will solidify its position as a global innovation hub, attracting the brightest minds to develop cutting-edge solutions for sustainability, healthcare, and space exploration.
A Community Reaching for the Stars:
Space Tourism: Taking a weekend trip to space may become a reality, with Dubai potentially launching its space tourism ventures.
Underwater Wonders: Dubai's fascination with the ocean will continue, with the construction of underwater hotels and research facilities offering unparalleled aquatic experiences.
A Globalized Society: Dubai's multicultural population will continue to grow, fostering an environment of tolerance and collaboration.
Challenges and Considerations:
Climate Change Adaptation: Dubai will need to adapt to rising sea levels and extreme weather events due to climate change. Innovative coastal protection measures and resilient infrastructure will be crucial.
Social Inequality: The rapid pace of development needs to be accompanied by measures to ensure social equity and access to opportunities for all residents.
Dubai in 2050 promises to be a city unlike any other, a testament to human ingenuity and a beacon of hope for a sustainable future. While challenges remain, Dubai's relentless pursuit of innovation suggests it will continue to be a global leader in the decades to come.

Thinking about back in 1x01 when Daniel is telling Louis the terms of the interview, that he's going to send anything he can't verify to his researcher, and then Armand-as-Rashid stands up and interrupts, saying "no third parties"...and Louis closes his eyes? What is that, some chafing at Armand trying to assert control? Interesting...
#also thinking about how the costumer sorry i don't remember her name#said that louis's clothing was very colorful in new orleans#and now in dubai he just wears all black..#i wonder if that's an indication of a shift in louis or of armand's influence#iwtv#yes i think i'm starting a rewatch#finn's flailings

So my first int'l teaching job came from a job fair in Iowa, of all places. The school I went with hadn't been among my list of choices, they reached out to me based on my profile, but it looked good. It also wasn't my only offer; a school in Honduras was interested in me as well, but the pay in the UAE was far better.
Did a bit of a graduation dinner yesterday with my parents, and my dad said he'd pay for me to go to that job fair again. Apparently he'd like to see me teaching again, especially abroad, and is willing to cover the flight and hotel to Iowa for it.
It's a surprisingly tempting offer. It's in February, so there isn't a list yet of which schools will show up, but I have been missing teaching, I just can't handle it here in the states anymore. And if I got multiple offers as a five-year teacher with no int'l experience, I'm confident I'd be able to get something if I went back.
It's a thought to consider. I'm going to go to job services to have my resume looked at this week and apply to more training specialist positions, but if nothing happens between now and February I might try going abroad as a teacher again, I guess.
#kite rambles#debating with myself if i would consider dubai again#and it's like mmmm if the right school offers i would#the embassy schools always had good reputations#i wonder how different it is now post-covid though#i know covid shook up how those job fair worked#idk i just... can't do this for the rest of my life i can't do customer facing jobs forever#and i DO miss teaching#i don't miss the paperwork and politics but i miss getting to know my students and helping them learn
