It was a scene reminiscent of pre-pandemic Dubai: Art lovers dressed in designer clothes or alternative fashion, walking around in one of the city's many swanky locations. Bloggers, VIPs and influencers filming on their mobile phones. People mingling and laughing.To get more latest entertainment news, you can visit shine news official website.
After being canceled in March last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, Art Dubai returned this week to the sunbaked desert metropolis it calls home, becoming one of the first in-person international art fairs of 2021. The show is part of the city-state's efforts to reopen to international trade and tourism that power its economy.

“Art Dubai was the first art fair to be canceled, just when the pandemic started" and now it's the first to be back live, said Pablo del Val, the show's artistic director.

“I think it’s been an emotional, fantastic moment," he added. “I think everyone was looking forward to stop looking to screens and having a physical relationship with a work of art.”

This year's installment is different, however. Typically held at the vast conference space of Madinat Jumeirah in the shadow of Dubai's iconic, sail-shaped Burj al-Arab hotel, the 2021 event instead came to Dubai International Financial Center. Temporary galleries sprung up around the center's Gate House, the landmark structure at the business hub.

Signs of the pandemic are still everywhere: Social-distancing signs and hand sanitizer dispensers stand visible in the tents housing the galleries. People attending the fair can book a specific time slot in advance to guarantee their entry. Those worried about being around a crowd can take a virtual tour of the fair from home.

Even some of the art is teleconferencing into the event. Art Dubai introduced a program allowing galleries unable to travel to Dubai to connect to visitors via video.

The fair features 50 contemporary and modern galleries from 31 countries, specializing in regions that are not main players on the international art scene. It also focuses on artists from the Middle East.

One of them is Rashed al-Shashai, a prominent figure of the contemporary Saudi art scene. He recently designed a piece entitled Concise Passage, 2020 in the kingdom's al-Ula historical district — a feature made of shipping crates divided by a pink-lighted walkway symbolizing a region that was once a key stop on an incense trade route linking Arabia to Asia.

“Taking part in this fair shows the determination of art to be part of bringing life back to normal, for people and humanity," al-Shashai said. "It helps people live in a better way, even when there are disasters and tragedies happening in the world.”

As Dubai went into a lockdown in early 2020, the city's big events shut down, along with its long-haul carrier Emirates. The autocratically ruled emirate moved aggressively to reopen in July to tourists. Coronavirus numbers however spiked to levels unseen following New Year's Eve. Other countries also blamed Dubai for outbreaks of coronavirus variants.

Since then, reported daily new infection numbers have dropped to over 2,000, from highs of nearly 4,000 at the worst of the winter. The United Arab Emirates is vaccinating at one of the quickest rates in the world, hoping to be ready for Dubai hosting its Expo 2020 world's fair in October, after the pandemic forced a delay of the event last year.

SHANGHAI IS NOT an ancient major city. It wasn’t until the opening of its treaty port in 1842 that the former fishing village really became a prosperous industrial center and trading hub with worldwide renown. With the city’s economic takeoff, the culinary culture also boomed, echoing Shanghai’s refined and sophisticated urban life. Today, the city is filled with so much good food that pretty much the only place an eater will be disappointed is the Shanghai airport.To get more news about shanghai special dishes, you can visit shine news official website.

Today, people often think of soup dumplings when they think of Shanghai food. But the city’s vibrant food scene has a lot more to offer, from breakfast street foods, to delicate Shanghai snacks, to Western-inspired soups. Below are five iconic Shanghai dishes locals love.

1. Hong shao
Hong shao, or “red cooking,” is a cooking style that entails cooking a protein in a soy-based sauce with a touch of rice wine and rock sugar to give the dish a shiny glaze, rich aroma, and balanced taste. Like red sauce to Italian food, hong shao is essential to Shanghai cuisine, and local chefs never seem to agree on a “best” hong shao recipe.

Pork is most common in hong shao dishes, which is called hong shao rou, as well as hong shao pai gu, which is made with pork ribs. The red braised pork belly is slow cooked with spices to make a delectable dish, but home cooks also love to “red cook” other local delicacies and vary the use of spices and herbs accordingly. Jiyu, a delicate freshwater fish, is braised with the whole stems of scallions to bolden the taste. And beltfish freshly caught from the sea is cooked with a hearty amount of ginger to balance the piquant flavor. Another favorite is kaofu, or wheat gluten, braised with assorted mushrooms, which makes an appetizing starter in family banquets.

2. Yan du Xian
Yan du Xian is an iconic Shanghai soup. To make it, dry-aged ham and succulent fresh pork are simmered for hours on very low heat until the umami flavor is fully released, the pork fat emulsified, and the meat meltingly tender. Added to the broth are crispy bamboo shoots. The end result is a soup loaded with umami.
3. Chinese mitten crabs, or hairy crabs
Hairy crabs are native to the intertwined river network around Shanghai. Every year in late fall, when the crabs are at their most delectable, the city falls into a crab craze. The crustaceans are everywhere in farmer’s markets, and locals are more than willing to pay a hefty price for the fattest ones. For centuries, they’ve been not only a favorite hors d’oeuvre in aristocrats’ literary salons but also a treasured delicacy on family dinner tables.

4. Shengjian
Unlike its famous cousin the soup dumpling, which requires elaborate preparation, the humble shengjian is more grassroots but equally satisfying. Meat and gelatine are mixed with minced scallion and wrapped in a semi-leavened dough. The buns are tightly gathered in a flat cast-iron pan and pan-fried until golden brown. This gives shengjian a complex texture. The first bite breaks into the crunchy exterior, which leads to the steaming puffy wrap, which leads to the juicy meat inside.

5. Luo song tang, or Russian soup
Shanghai saw a steady influx of foreign settlers with the expansion of international trade in the 19th century. Many opened restaurants serving food from their home countries, which were frequented by both expats and local high society. Over time, their food collectively evolved into a cuisine called haipai, which refers to food with Western origin that’s been adapted to Shanghainese tastes and ingredients.

The Chicago Bears have had some great players over the years, and as a result the team has retired a total of 14 jersey numbers, the most of any club in NFL history.To get more news about Men Game chicago bears jerseys, you can visit bearsbuy official website. In fact, the Bears retired so many numbers that the team is no longer retiring jerseys, with former tight end Mike Ditka having the distinction of having the last retired number in team history. So just who are the players who have been honored by the Bears with a jersey retirement? To answer that question, here are the 14 players whose jersey numbers adorn banners at Soldier Field. One of the charter members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963, Nagurski had a stellar nine-year career with the Bears, appearing in 97 games and rushing for 2,778 yards and 25 touchdowns. Nagurski originally retired after the 1937 season, but after the Bears lost a slew of players to World War II service, he came out of retirement for eight games in 1943, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown. A halfback, McAfee scored seven touchdowns in his first two NFL seasons, but after the 1941 season he enlisted in the United States Navy. He didn’t return to the gridiron until 1945, and after playing three games each in 1946 and 1947 he returned to football full-time in 1948. He ended his career with 1,685 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, and also had 11 receiving touchdowns. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1966. Primarily known as a head coach and an owner of the Bears, Halas also played a bit during his career, scoring one rushing touchdown, six receiving touchdowns, and three total return touchdowns. As a result of his playing career and his stellar coaching career, Halas’ number 7 jersey was retired by the team. His initials also appear on the sleeves of the team’s jerseys. Galimore had a sparkling career with the Bears in the late 1950s and early 1960s, registering 26 rushing touchdowns and 10 more receiving touchdowns. His career was cut tragically short in 1964 when he was killed in a car accident in Rensselaer, Indiana at the age of 29. When Payton retired in 1987, he was the NFL’s all-time leader in rushing yards, with 16,726, and he still holds Bears records for most career rushing touchdowns and receptions. He made nine Pro Bowls and was a First Team All-Pro member on five different occasions. He is also the only player in Bears history to win Associated Press MVP honors, doing so in 1977. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1993.
