I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than be false.

NYAF 2025–26 UAE Edition: Top 5 Authors of the Ink & Mic Best Sellers League
Rising Authors
What’s Happening?
The winners of the Ink & Mic Best Sellers League were announced as part of the National Young Authors’ Fair (NYAF) UAE 2025–26, celebrating the achievements of young authors who demonstrated exceptional engagement and commitment through their books. Securing the top position was Joash George, followed by Adeena Mumthaz in second place and Saira Lalu in third.
The remaining ranks were claimed by Zayed and Maryam Zamil. Ranked based on their overall performance within the league, the Top 5 authors stood out for their consistent efforts throughout the event, marking a proud moment for students, educators, and families alike.
Why is it Important?
The Ink & Mic Best Sellers League, conducted as part of NYAF UAE 2025–26, highlights the role of BriBooks in empowering students to experience the complete journey of becoming an author. Through its structured publishing platform, BriBooks enables young writers to write, publish, and actively promote their books, helping them develop confidence and communication skills beyond the classroom.
By encouraging engagement and visibility, the league allows students to understand how stories reach readers while fostering ownership of their creative work. Such initiatives make authorship accessible and meaningful for young learners, while nurturing a strong culture of reading, writing, and self-expression from an early age.

Day 21 of Middle East Conflict: Energy Targets and Rising Tensions
Day 21 of Middle East Conflict: Energy Targets and Rising Tensions
Politics
What’s Happening?
On Day 21 of the war between Iran, the United States, and Israel, the conflict has become even more intense and widespread, especially across the Gulf region’s energy infrastructure. After Israel’s major strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field, one of the world’s largest, Iran responded by launching missile and drone attacks on key oil and gas facilities in countries like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE. Several major sites, including refineries and export terminals, have been damaged, while explosions have been reported across multiple cities in the region.
At the same time, the United States has increased its military operations, deploying aircraft like A-10 jets and Apache helicopters to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route. US forces have reportedly destroyed dozens of Iranian boats, drones, and mine-laying equipment to keep the route open. Meanwhile, Israel continues to carry out airstrikes deep inside Iran, including in Tehran, targeting military sites and senior officials, while Iran keeps firing missiles toward Israel and US-linked targets.
Why is it Important?
This stage of the conflict is especially serious because it is no longer limited to just Iran and Israel, it is now affecting multiple countries and global energy supplies. The Strait of Hormuz, through which a large portion of the world’s oil passes, is under extreme pressure, with shipping traffic dropping sharply and oil prices rising fast. Some estimates suggest traffic has fallen dramatically as ships avoid the area due to safety risks.
The human impact is also growing, with thousands of casualties reported and large-scale displacement as strikes continue across cities and regions. At the same time, global leaders and the United Nations are warning that continued attacks on infrastructure and civilians could lead to even bigger consequences.

Nvidia CEO Predicts "Physical AI" Era: 7.5 Million AI Agents by 2036
Nvidia CEO Predicts "Physical AI" Era: 7.5 Million AI Agents by 2036
Tech
What’s Happening?
Speaking at the Nvidia GTC conference, CEO Jensen Huang projected a massive shift from passive AI to "Physical AI" and autonomous agentic workflows. Huang envisions a future where Nvidia employs 75,000 humans supported by 7.5 million AI agents, a 100-to-1 agent-to-human ratio within a decade.
This shift, already accelerating in early 2026, highlights AI models that can perceive, reason, and act in the physical world (robotics) rather than just on-screen software. The announcement coincides with breakthroughs in "agentic AI," where systems plan and complete multi-step tasks without human oversight.
Why is it Important?
This news signifies a pivotal shift in the AI landscape, moving from generative AI (creation) to agentic AI (execution). The "Physical AI" era, where AI models understand physical laws (e.g., NVIDIA's Cosmos models), means robotics can now operate with dexterity in logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare. By 2026, this integration moves AI from being a simple "coworker" chatbot to a "manager" of complex, multi-step industrial and digital workflows, drastically accelerating productivity. Furthermore, the rapid scaling of agentic workflows means tasks that previously took days can now be completed in hours by autonomous software, changing the workforce dynamic fundamentally. This shift is essential for enhancing operational efficiency, reducing human error, and scaling production, marking the "ChatGPT moment for robotics".

NASA Rover Finds 3.7-Billion-Year-Old River System Hidden Beneath Mars
NASA Rover Finds 3.7-Billion-Year-Old River System Hidden Beneath Mars
Science
What’s Happening?
NASA’s Perseverance Rover has made an exciting discovery on Mars, scientists have found evidence of a massive ancient river delta buried beneath the planet’s surface, dating back about 3.7 billion years. Using a special ground-penetrating radar instrument, the rover scanned deep below the surface of Jezero Crater and detected layers of rock and sediment that clearly show how water once flowed into a lake.
What makes this discovery extra surprising is that this hidden delta is even older than the one already visible on the surface, meaning Mars may have had rivers and lakes for a much longer time than scientists previously thought.
Why is it Important?
This discovery adds to growing evidence that Mars was once a wet and possibly life-friendly planet, with flowing rivers, lakes, and maybe even conditions suitable for tiny forms of life. Because the delta is buried underground, it has been protected for billions of years, making it a great place to search for signs of ancient life.
Scientists say findings like this help them understand how Mars changed from a watery world into the dry, dusty planet we see today. It also makes missions like Perseverance even more exciting, because every new layer uncovered could bring us closer to answering one big question: Did life ever exist on Mars?
