British tennis player Emma Raducanu began her 2022 Wimbledon campaign in elegant style on Monday. For her first match, Raducanu, 19, wore $37,100 worth of Tiffany & Co jewellery, along with her Nike tennis whites.

The sportswoman wore diamond and pearl earrings, which are currently on sale for $9,300, and a matching necklace worth $4,800. The jewellery set was completed with a $23,000 diamond and white gold bangle.

In the Centre Court game, Raducanu beat Belgian tennis player Alison Van Uytvanck wearing earrings and a necklace from the Tiffany Victoria collection, with the Tiffany T wide diamond hinged bangle in 18-karat white gold.

The drop earrings feature a 11 to 12-millimetre pearl, set on platinum, with a delicate diamond flower. The necklace's pendant matches the earrings and the hinged bangle features an identifiable Tiffany T, half set with diamonds. A full bangle of diamonds is also available for $33,000.

Raducanu was announced as a Tiffany & Co brand ambassador in September, following her US Open victory on September 12, joining Tracee Ellis Ross, Anya Taylor-Joy, Beyonce and Jay-Z as fellow faces of the brand. Less than a month later, she was named a Dior brand ambassador.

"Very excited to join the iconic @tiffanyandco family as a House Ambassador. Being able to wear these special jewellery pieces over the past few weeks has been an honour," the tennis player wrote on Instagram announcing her appointment.

Since her US Open win, Raducanu has worn Tiffany pieces for several red carpet appearances, including with Chanel at the 2021 Met Gala, with Dior at the No Time to Die premiere and to attend an Evian pop-up art installation in London in February.

In March, Beyonce and Jay-Z featured in a new Tiffany & Co campaign, with a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting that had been unseen for decades.

The work, titled Equals Pi (1982), bears some of the artist’s signature motifs, including skulls, crowns and text, though its turquoise palette, similar to the recognisable Tiffany robin's-egg blue, is unique for a Basquiat.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology, a digital system in which data is recorded across multiple places at the same time. Unlike traditional databases, DLTs have no central administrator or centralised data storage. They are transparent because the data is visible and, because they are automatically replicated and impossible to be tampered with, they are secure.

The main difference between blockchain and other forms of DLT is the way data is stored as ‘blocks’ – new transactions are added to the existing ‘chain’ of past transactions, hence the name ‘blockchain’. It is impossible to delete or modify information on the chain due to the replication of blocks across various locations.

Blockchain is mostly associated with cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Due to the inability to tamper with transactions, advocates say this makes the currency more secure and safer than traditional systems. It is maintained by a network of people referred to as ‘miners’, who receive rewards for solving complex mathematical equations that enable transactions to go through.

However, one of the major problems that has come to light has been the presence of illicit material buried in the Bitcoin blockchain, linking it to the dark web.

Other blockchain platforms can offer things like smart contracts, which are automatically implemented when specific conditions from all interested parties are reached, cutting the time involved and the risk of mistakes. Another use could be storing medical records, as patients can be confident their information cannot be changed. The technology can also be used in supply chains, voting and has the potential to used for storing property records.

Sinopharm vaccine explained

The Sinopharm vaccine was created using techniques that have been around for decades. 

“This is an inactivated vaccine. Simply what it means is that the virus is taken, cultured and inactivated," said Dr Nawal Al Kaabi, chair of the UAE's National Covid-19 Clinical Management Committee.

"What is left is a skeleton of the virus so it looks like a virus, but it is not live."

This is then injected into the body.

"The body will recognise it and form antibodies but because it is inactive, we will need more than one dose. The body will not develop immunity with one dose," she said.

"You have to be exposed more than one time to what we call the antigen."

The vaccine should offer protection for at least months, but no one knows how long beyond that.

Dr Al Kaabi said early vaccine volunteers in China were given shots last spring and still have antibodies today.

“Since it is inactivated, it will not last forever," she said.
