Ford v Ferrari
This is in light of re-watching Ford v Ferrari, a film that confirms a cinematic relationship between the car industry and the cinema industry, including fashion and luxury.An incredible film starring numerous A-list celebrities, including Christian Bale and Matt Damon, the movie sheds light on the drama of motorsport competitions — how car manufacturers face off in such competitions, Le Mans being a primary example.The story was about the rise of Ford against Ferrari’s dominance back in the early 60’s, winning back-to-back championships from 1966 to 1969.The automotive industry is one of the largest and most influential sports around the world. It’s a high-risk, low-reward industry that requires high funding. F1 in Saudi Arabia has had the support from the largest companies in the...

Saudi Arabia moves forward with lofty missions disregarding its detractors
The Saudi ‘genie’ takes off despite the attempts of those who look at every move or statement made by Riyadh with envy, hatred and political stupidity.This distressed ‘clique,’ instead of looking at the cup to see if it is half full, seeks, as usual, to turn it upside down, and then begin to define their previously known positions. It is as if they are denying Saudi Arabia’s lofty position in its capacity as the regional heavyweight, as well as its Islamic standing, its international influence, and the multiplicity of vital files that it is holding onto at the economic, political, security and regional levels.Saudi Arabia is not shaken by these ‘empty antics.’ These stupid hate-mongers do not affect its policies, no matter how many ‘lies and fallacies’ they fabricate.The...

Saudi Arabia moves forward with lofty missions disregarding its detractors

Catherine Corm-Kammoun, Consul General of France.
July 14 is a moment of pride and national unity
By Catherine Corm-KammounAs Consul General of France, it is my great honor to celebrate the French National Day, "Bastille Day", here in Jeddah, with our compatriots from the Western province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and with our Saudi friends. Celebrated since 1880, July 14 is a moment of pride and national unity, which brings together all citizens to honor their history, remember what gives meaning to the republican pact, and look ahead to the future.Celebrating July 14 in Jeddah is also an opportunity to celebrate the friendship between French and Saudis, which is based on solid and ancient foundations, and has grown stronger over the years. Since the dawn of the relationship between France and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the year 1839, about two centuries ago, when...

Prof Dr. Qusay Mansoor Al-Turkey
The etymology of 'Shmagh'
In view of the discussions on social media about the word "shmagh", I feel it is important to familiarize Arab and international audiences with the true meaning of the word and its origin. The word originated from the languages ​​of Mesopotamia and the ancient Near East when the Akkadian language was the diplomatic lingua franca in the 14th century BC.I will quickly clarify the correct pronunciation of the word Shmagh as it is often mispronounced: The word Shmagh in the Sumerian language consists of two syllables, AŠ = ‘Ash’+ MAḪ=‘makh’, which many think means "the head cover".My research into ancient languages has led me to believe that the popular understanding of this word is incorrect. The first phoneme, AŠ =Ash, has several meanings in...

Leonardo Costa, Italian Consul General in Jeddah.
Italian-Saudi relations grow stronger
By Leonardo Costa, Italian Consul General in JeddahIt is a great honor for me to celebrate the 77th anniversary of the Italian Republic in Jeddah. Italy and Saudi Arabia celebrate this year the 91st anniversary of diplomatic relations, as in 1932 Italy was among the first countries in the world to establish official relations with Saudi Arabia.Since the beginning, our bilateral relations have built on a close friendship, empathy and sympathy between our people.Today, also thanks to the new and endless opportunities opened in the Kingdom by the Vision 2030, our relations are growing stronger and stronger in all sectors every day.From my perspective, since my arrival in Jeddah, last year, the Consulate General has expanded its activity with the aim to contribute to this very positive...

Sports and fashion
Sports and fashion have developed a remarkable symbiotic relationship with evident connections between the two industries. These connections are particularly visible in the official attire worn by individual players, as well as by players of clubs and national teams at various levels of competition, including national, regional, and international events.Fashion, as an industry, has traditionally thrived within the confines of exclusive events such as Milan, Rome, Paris, London, and New York fashion festivals. However, the need for a more inclusive platform that transcends the geographical and socio-cultural barriers has grown more urgent in the modern age.On the other hand, sports-inspired fashion has also taken the urban lifestyle by storm. Sports apparel brands such as Nike, Adidas,...

Space exploration is a symbol of national pride and ambition
There was a time when space travel was the thing of sheer fantasy, confined to novels and Western movie screens.It is described as “the final frontier” in Star Trek, an American show that was first made in the 1960s.In the series, the space ship the Starship Enterprise has the mission to “boldly go where no man has gone before”.Fast forward 60 years and it’s not just a Saudi man boldly going into space, but he will be joined by the first Saudi woman to fly into orbit.This is perhaps not only a mark of how far technology has come since the 1960s, but also how much Saudi society has changed in the past 10 years alone.A woman from the Kingdom traveling into space would have seemed pure fantasy not that long ago. It would certainly have seemed impossible in 1985.Now, breast cancer...

Anything is possible as long as we keep talking
It is very easy to take for granted all the modern luxuries in our lives — television, mobile phones, traveling the world in airplanes, communicating via the internet, even machines to make coffee for us.For millions of years, all these things did not even enter people’s wildest dreams, as man lived like animals.But then something happened to unleash the power of our imagination — we learned to talk.As the English scientist Professor Stephen Hawking said, speech has allowed the communication of ideas, allowing us to work together to build the impossible.“Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking,” he said.This quote alone is what became lodged in my mind upon hearing news that Syria would return to the Arab...

The interests of athletes and the productive practice of sports pertaining to key subjects such as, the development of the sports culture, the fundamental human right to practice sports, and protecting individual athletes from exclusionary politics are related.Therefore, everything about human rights, particularly social, health, and nutritional issues, should avoid political influence including wars.It is crucial to Identify that human rights are universal and should not be used as a tool for political gains or manipulation.
