On Sep 29, an independent commission found Manchester City Football Club guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the English Premier League’s financial rules over a 9-season period. The club is backed by Sheikh Mansour, a member of the ruling Al Nahyan family, the rulers of Abu Dhabi. This had been my prediction published on Jun 24, for the period of, roughly, Jun 24 to Sep 23: "Major scandal or death may afflict an important member of the country's government or a prominent royal, most likely from the House of Nahyan (Abu Dhabi's royals)." I do not follow football, so didn't know this till now, until a reader told me about it today. #predictions #astrology #EnglishPremierLeague #ManchesterCity #UAE

Peter Arundell, born #OnThisDay 8 November 1933 in Ilford, Essex, raced in 13 Grand Prix races for Lotus between 1964 and 1966 after winning the British Formula Junior Championship in 1962 and 1963. Seen as a promising talent and second driver to Jim Clark, he debuted in F1 in 1964, finishing third in his first two races. However, his career was disrupted after a severe crash in an F2 event at Reims that season, where he sustained multiple injuries, including two broken legs. Out for the remainder of 1964 and all of 1965, Arundell returned in 1966 but struggled to regain his previous form, retiring at the end of the year. He later moved to Florida, founding a software company. #f1 #formula1

I don’t understand how every car survives in rain but Ferrari every year the same shit… what are they doing so badly im genuinely curious
"there's so much to be learned from. we learned a huge amount yesterday and i think for qualifying, there are things we can do better and we can learn from yesterday. for today, still, i feel like we're going into the rain and it's like a coin flip and maybe we end up on the right side of things or we end up on- it's just a complete disaster to drive, so we've got a lot of work to do on that side"

A London-listed developer is considering a fund built only for Dubai property. Institutional money tends to chase the best locations first. If you’re waiting for the “perfect” deal, good units don’t wait with you.

MERED has announced the launch of Riviera Residences Phase 2 on Al Reem Island, within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) (@ADGlobalMarket), with work scheduled to commence by the end of this year. Designed by Herzog & de Meuron (@HerzogdeMeuron), Phase 2 will comprise 389 apartments, eight Bay Villas, six Sky Villas and a penthouse. The development features mother-of-pearl-inspired façade elements referencing Abu Dhabi’s pearl-diving heritage, over 65,000 square feet of resort-style amenities and an approximately 300-metre waterfront promenade. The launch comes as residential sales across Al Reem and Al Maryah islands reached $2.86 billion (AED 10.5 billion) in H1 2026, up 153% year-on-year, according to the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (@adrec_ae). Michael Belton, CEO of MERED, said: “At Riviera Residences, we are bringing global architectural expertise into a design shaped by the capital’s heritage and its relationship with the sea.” Paris-based MICHEL DESVIGNE PAYSAGISTE is responsible for landscape design, while London-based Dseesion Interiors has designed the Bay Villa interiors. Phase 2 is targeted for completion in Q2 2030, while Riviera Residences 1 is progressing towards completion in Q3 2029.
