With 2022’s awards season back in full swing and proceedings returning to pre-pandemic levels, for many guests, Covid-19 precautions seemed to be a distant memory at the Emmy Awards.
However, one actor in the crowd stood out, wearing a mask amongst a sea of smiling faces. Saturday Night Live alumnus Bill Hader, who was nominated for four awards for Barry, as well as for a guest spot on Curb Your Enthusiasm, wore a black face mask during the evening.
Hader was seated next to Henry Winkler, 76, and appeared to be the only person in the Emmys crowd wearing a mask. The Emmys’ Covid-19 policy did not require guests to wear a mask for the event, however people were required to either offer proof of vaccination or a negative test in order to attend.
Hader, who suffers from an auto-immune condition, has previously spoken of the effects the pandemic has had on his anxiety, revealing that he almost never left his house between March 2020 and spring 2021, and continued to wear a mask daily on set, despite it being optional.
The images of Hader wearing a mask in the Emmys crowd have been praised on social media.
“Bill Hader is the only celebrity wearing a mask in a room full of high powered peer pressure,” one user wrote on Twitter. “Let this example help you next time you feel like the weirdo. Weird is good.”
“Respect to Bill Hader for unabashed mask wearing at a high-profile event,” another user wrote.
“It's important to see yourself represented on television, and Bill Hader wearing a mask in a room full of maskless people, thank you for making me feel seen. #Emmys2022”, said another user.
Hader missed out on any awards on the night, losing Best Actor in a Comedy Series to Jason Sudeikis for his role in Ted Lasso, which also won Best Comedy Show.
However, the pair, who are old friends, hugged it out as Sudeikis went on stage to accept his award.

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.

Strait of Hormuz
Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.
The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.
Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.
Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.

Sheikh Zayed's poem
When it is unveiled at Abu Dhabi Art, the Standing Tall exhibition will appear as an interplay of poetry and art. The 100 scarves are 100 fragments surrounding five, figurative, female sculptures, and both sculptures and scarves are hand-embroidered by a group of refugee women artisans, who used the Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery art of tatreez. Fragments of Sheikh Zayed’s poem Your Love is Ruling My Heart, written in Arabic as a love poem to his nation, are embroidered onto both the sculptures and the scarves. Here is the English translation.
Your love is ruling over my heart
Your love is ruling over my heart, even a mountain can’t bear all of it
Woe for my heart of such a love, if it befell it and made it its home
You came on me like a gleaming sun, you are the cure for my soul of its sickness
Be lenient on me, oh tender one, and have mercy on who because of you is in ruins
You are like the Ajeed Al-reem [leader of the gazelle herd] for my country, the source of all of its knowledge
You waddle even when you stand still, with feet white like the blooming of the dates of the palm
Oh, who wishes to deprive me of sleep, the night has ended and I still have not seen you
You are the cure for my sickness and my support, you dried my throat up let me go and damp it
Help me, oh children of mine, for in his love my life will pass me by.

Stewart Howison, co-founder of Cycle Safe Dubai and owner of Revolution Cycles
“When you sweat a lot, you lose a lot of salt and other electrolytes from your body. If your electrolytes drop enough, you will be at risk of cramping. To prevent salt deficiency, simply add an electrolyte mix to your water.”
Cornelia Gloor, head of RAK Hospital’s Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Centre
“Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can ride as fast or as far during the summer as you do in cooler weather. The heat will make you expend more energy to maintain a speed that might normally be comfortable, so pace yourself when riding during the hotter parts of the day.”
