Who's profiting from AI-generated music?
Karam Touba, Dubai
Yes, AI can make amazing music, if the person or people giving it the prompts are any good.
Margaret Reynolds, Muscat, Oman
AI music has a parallel in AI-generated photography. Why do people need to generate an image of a person suffering rather than use the thousands of images taken by photojournalists in the field every single day. Those are real people risking their lives to bring us real information. These are machine generated and inauthentic. There really is no comparison.

The kidnapping of Alawite women must stop
With regard to Nada Maucourant Atallah and Adla Massoud's report 'Get the money fast if you want her alive': Syria's Alawite women and girls disappear in abductions (July 1): These scenes are unbearably brutal. How can those who call themselves world leaders speak of humanity, yet offer offenders international protection and recognition?

Gaza ceasefire still too far in the distance
In reference to Mohamad Ali Harisi's report Hamas reviews Gaza ceasefire proposal as Netanyahu vows 'it's over' for group (July 2): For the Hamas spokesperson Mahmoud Taha to say that US is not serious about ending the Gaza war is odd as it is not a US problem at all. I am concerned about the US economy, US debt and the size of the Pentagon.
Frederice Klinge, Hamburg, Germany
Hamas is clearly useless as a governing body. It doesn't care about Gaza at all and is perfectly alright with continuing the killings of their own people, with peace still too far away on the horizon.

Where to eat in Abu Dhabi this week
Abu Dhabi is in its soft glow era, with restaurants serving up charm, heat and everything in between. The capital isn't short of options, this week you can try flaming Argentinian grills, Mediterranean feasts by the water and a new nightlife hotspot that's already making noise on Yas Island. From Monday night lobster to tiramisu made tableside, here's where to book a table this week. Bla Bla Bar – Yas Marina The drinks are cold, the lights are low and the weekends go long. Bla Bla Bar has landed in Yas Marina and it's not here to whisper. The Dubai-born venue brings its signature high-energy atmosphere to the capital, with themed nights, live entertainment and a crowd that came to party. The waterfront setting doesn't hurt either. This is where the after-work crowd turns into the no-work-tomorrow crowd. It's loud, it's proud, and it's perfectly chaotic in the best way. Between the themed nights, the DJ sets and the marina views, it's impossible to pretend you're leaving early. Location: Bla Bla Bar Yas Marina Times: 6pm to 1am (weekdays), 6pm to 3am (weekends) Contact: 050 797 0742 Em Sherif Sea Café – Rosewood Abu Dhabi This sleek Lebanese seafood spot on Al Maryah Island turns mezze into a moment. The view is pure serenity and the menu is bright, fresh and packed with personality. Social without being chaotic. You don't come here to be seen. You come here to eat like coastal royalty. Em Sherif Sea Café is the kind of place where the shrimp is sautéed like a secret, the sea bream is almost too pretty to touch and even the roasted cauliflower demands a photo. The waterfront setting is calm but chic, and the plates are made for sharing, even if you don't really want to. Location: Rosewood Abu Dhabi, Al Maryah Island Times: Lunch and dinner Contact: +971 2 813 5550 Erth Restaurant – Qasr Al Hosn Erth is calm in culinary form. It feels like home, if your home had a world-class chef and someone to explain where your date seeds were grown. Set within the walls of Qasr Al Hosn, this is where Emirati heritage meets mindful dining. The plates are built around local produce and seasonal ingredients, sourced from farms across the UAE. It's all about connection, comfort and slow food with purpose. Location: North Parking, Al Hosn, Abu Dhabi Times: 12pm to 11pm Contact: +971 2 497 5831 or +971 58 600 6922 Talea by Antonio Guida – Emirates Palace At Talea, Italian sophistication shows up in simple dishes that speak loudest. The maccheroncelli alla Genovese is a revelation and the tiramisu is made tableside. Chef Antonio Guida brings Milan's culinary muscle to the capital without overcomplicating the magic. This isn't spaghetti tossed in a rush. There's nothing shouty here, just quietly confident food in one of the most opulent settings in the city. Location: Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, West Corniche Road Times: Lunch: 12:30pm to 3pm, Dinner: 6:30pm to 11pm Contact: +971 2 690 7999 Maté – Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi It smells like fire, sounds like Buenos Aires and feels like a secret you're glad to be in on. Maté blends Argentinian passion with Levantine flair, serving wood-grilled meat, charred seafood and a vibe that's loud in all the right places. Sit at the counter if you want a front-row seat to the flames. The grill is front and centre, the menu is bold, and the beef is cooked with a kind of religious devotion. Location: Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi, Al Saadiyat Island Times: Opens daily at 5pm, dinner starts at 6:30pm Contact: +971 2 407 1373 Café Del Mar Restaurant – Yas Bay Dinner at Café Del Mar Restaurant is all about sea breeze, slow beats and seafood with flair. Café Del Mar is what happens when the beach decides to grow up. It's still got the salty air and sundowners, but now it comes with crisp linens, artful seafood and a playlist that knows when to pause. Lobster Mondays and Paella Tuesdays keep things interesting, while the rest of the menu leans into coastal Mediterranean indulgence. Think sunset cocktails, golden hour selfies and that soft clink of glasses that means you're exactly where you need to be. Location: Yas Bay Waterfront, Yas Marina Times: 10am to 11pm (Sunday to Wednesday) and 10am to 2am (Thursday to Saturday) Contact: +971 50 402 2283 > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in

Today's Moon Mood: Sunday, July 27, 2025
Total soft focus. With the Waning Crescent Moon cruising through Pisces, the universe is handing you a cosmic permission slip to let go , chill out , and daydream like it's your full-time job . This phase is all about wrapping things up — and in Pisces, it's less about the to-do lists and more about trusting your intuition to guide you. If you're feeling extra sleepy, emotional, or even a little bit magical, you're exactly where you're supposed to be. ✨ Take it easy today: journal your feels, binge your comfort show, get lost in your playlist, or just stare at the ceiling and vibe. Don't force clarity — Pisces teaches us that sometimes you have to swim in the fog before you find the shore. Small rituals you can do: ? Light a candle and set a tiny intention for what you're ready to leave behind. ? Meditate or nap guilt-free. ? Write down any dreams or random thoughts — Pisces Moon = high psychic downloads. Big mood today: Release without resistance. What's fading away isn't meant to stay — and your next chapter is quietly getting ready backstage.
