OPN 201215 edit — NO MEAN FEAT: The Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre’s announcement yesterday that it had completed 1.8 million hours of disinfection between March and November 3 this year came as a reminder on how we take things for granted in the UAE. The efforts of the 972-strong task force that worked 10 hours daily to carry out 485,000km of disinfection operations were no mean feat. The fact that such a mammoth exercise was undertaken with little or no disruption to the lives of the public at large speaks volumes for the capabilities of the local authorities. The pandemic may be stressful, but being in the UAE is certainly comforting. [COMMENT BY: Sharmila Dhal, UAE Editor] Image Credit: WAM

TAB 201215 Jesy Nelson1-1608013237943 — LITTLE MIX’S JESY NELSON TURNS SPOTLIGHT ON MENTAL HEALTH: Singer Jesy Nelson’s statement on quitting Little Mix may have come as a shock to her fans, but it takes a brave person to step back from the spotlight and focus on their mental health. In her social media post, Nelson wrote about the pressures of fame, stating: “I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard. There comes a time in life when we need to reinvest in taking care of ourselves rather than focussing on making other people happy, and I feel like now is the time to begin that process.” In a year that has been exceptionally brutal on mental health while the world rides out the pandemic amidst lockdowns and tragedies, Nelson’s admission that all is not OK deserves the support from friends and fans.
