A home you apply for: new residential project Elemental 22 sets a new standard for urban living
Dubai, UAE: Elemental Developments, the new venture from Hazza Zaal, CEO of Al Barari, announces the limited public release of Elemental 22 — a visionary residential concept that brings the essence of meaningful living to the heart of the city.
In a city known for fast-paced transactions, Elemental 22 takes a more thoughtful path — one that values intention over impulse. Here, prospective residents apply to live, ensuring every home is part of a values-driven community grounded in connection, wellness, and elevated living.
Every applicant is thoughtfully reviewed — not just for ownership, but for alignment with a lifestyle centered on intention, nature, and connection.
After selling out completely during its private VIP release, with early clients who shared the vision, the project is now being made available to the public for the very first time.
With only 39 residences available and over 60% already sold, this launch marks a new chapter in intentional urban living.
'We didn't want to create just another building,' says Hazza Zaal. 'We wanted to design a lifestyle that aligns with what people are truly seeking: presence, connection, and purpose.'
The vision draws on Zaal ' s experience with Al Barari — long regarded as the green heart of Dubai. Elemental 22 continues that story in a new urban context, bringing nature inward and balancing the city ' s energy with a calming sense of place.
' Al Barari transformed the desert into a thriving green community,' Zaal adds. 'I now plan to bring that same vision of nature and purpose into the heart of the city. Nature does not stop at the ground floor here.'
Two Floors Dedicated to Wellness:
At Elemental 22, wellness isn't just an amenity — it's the atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a double-height space anchored by The Mill Café, where the scent of fresh coffee and the sound of quiet conversation set the tone for the day. Morning light pours through floor-to-ceiling windows as residents flow between movement and stillness — from a sunrise Pilates class, to laps in the rooftop pool, to a moment of pause in the recovery lounge.
Across two entire floors, wellbeing has been woven into the architecture, not as an afterthought, but as a foundation for daily life. This is a home designed for people who prioritise balance, energy, and presence.
Key features include: A rooftop family pool with panoramic views of the Dubai skyline
A performance lap pool for serious swimmers
A double-height indoor gym and an outdoor gym terrace for all-season training
A dedicated Pilates studio
A recovery zone with sauna and steam room
A vibrant indoor and outdoor kids' club
An intimate home cinema exclusive to residents
The Mill Café — a relaxed, communal space for dining, working, or winding down
A Boutique Community with Strategic Access:
Inspired by the ethos that shaped Al Barari, a community that redefined what it means to live close to nature, Elemental 22 is designed for those who value connection, wellness, and a sense of meaning in everyday life.
Elemental 22 finds its home in Jumeirah Garden City. The neighbourhood's masterplan of low-rise, low-density buildings, open parks, and walkable streets makes it the ideal setting to bring nature back into the heart of Dubai.
Located just minutes from Downtown, DIFC, and City Walk, yet nestled beside the neighbourhood's largest park which has a large football pitch, a padel court, jogging track, and a kids playground, Elemental 22 offers the best of both worlds: serenity and connectivity. With exclusive wellness amenities spread over two full floors — from rooftop pools to a Pilates studio, recovery rooms, a kids' club, and co-working café — daily life here flows effortlessly between work, rest, and play. About Elemental:
From the creators of Al Barari, Elemental is a new real estate venture founded by Hazza Zaal, CEO of Al Barari, and shaped by over a decade of experience crafting nature-led communities. Building on the vision that made Al Barari the green heart of Dubai, Elemental brings a fresh perspective to urban living, one rooted in wellness, intentional design, and a deep respect for place.
With a focus on low-density architecture, sustainable practices, and meaningful resident experiences, Elemental creates boutique developments that blend seamlessly into the fabric of the city while offering a sanctuary from it. Each project is thoughtfully located, beautifully crafted, and designed to support a lifestyle of presence, connection, and balance.

Best CD rates today, August 11, 2025 (Lock in up to 5.5% APY)
Today's CD rates still hover well above the national average. The Federal Reserve reduced its target interest rate three times in 2024. This had a ripple effect on deposit account rates, which means now could be your last chance to lock in today's high rates with a certificate of deposit (CD). Here's a look at today's best CD rates and where you can find the best offers. Best CD rates today As of August 11, 2025, the highest CD rate is 5.5% APY, offered by Gainbridge® on its 5-year CD. There is a $1000 minimum opening deposit required. Here is a look at some of the best CD rates available today from our verified partners. This embedded content is not available in your region. National average CD rates If you're considering a CD, these rates are some of the highest available, especially when compared to the national average rates, which are significantly lower. It's also worth noting that online banks and credit unions generally offer more competitive rates compared to traditional brick-and-mortar banks. Read more: What is a good CD rate? Here's a look at the average CD rate by term as of June 2025 (the most recent data available from the FDIC): The highest national average interest rate for CDs stands at 1.77% for a 1-year term. However, in general, today's average CD rates represent some of the highest seen in nearly two decades, largely due to the Federal Reserve's efforts to combat inflation by keeping interest rates elevated. How to find the best CD rates If you're thinking about opening a CD, it's important to choose one with a high APY and term length that matches your financial goals. Here are some tips for finding the best CD rates and accounts that match your needs: Shop around: It's a good idea to evaluate CD rates from a variety of financial institutions and compare your options before settling on an account. You can easily compare CD rates online. Consider online banks: Online banks tend to have lower overhead costs, which allows them to offer higher interest rates on CDs. In fact, online banks often have the most competitive rates available. Check minimum deposit requirements: Higher CD rates might come with higher minimum deposit requirements, so make sure the amount you plan to deposit aligns with the requirements to get the best rate. Review account terms and conditions: Beyond the CD's rate, look at terms for early withdrawal penalties and auto-renewal policies. Some CDs offer better terms for flexibility, such as no-penalty CDs, which allow you to withdraw your funds without a fee before the maturity date.

Chile's Codelco authorised to partially restart El Teniente mine operations
Chile's Labor Directorate has sanctioned the partial and gradual resumption of underground activities at the El Teniente mine, operated by Codelco. This decision comes after an earthquake-triggered collapse that claimed six lives. Operations at El Teniente, recognised as one of the world's largest underground copper mines, were halted in specific sectors due to the incident. The approved restart includes the Dacita, Diablo Regimiento, Esmeralda, Esmeralda Panel, Pilar Norte, Reno Panel, Reservas Norte and Upper Pacific, while the shutdown persists in Recursos Norte, Andesita, Andes Norte and Diamante. The return to operations is being managed through a plan that mandates reflection sessions at the start of each shift to brief workers on the return strategy, support measures, safety protocols and supervisory authority actions. It also emphasises two-way communication within the mine and enhanced presence control using Tracking & Asset Management and Tipping Point Management systems. Additional measures include personal protective equipment checks, habitability condition reviews, continuous updates on seismic activity, information dissemination to unions and coordination with partner companies to ensure comprehensive worker awareness. The reactivation commenced with Shift C, involving 710 personnel, 131 of whom entered the mine, followed by Shift A, which included 1,770 workers tasked with reactivation duties. During this initial phase, ore shipments to the processing plant were roughly 50% below normal levels, while operations at the plant and smelter were fully reinstated. Inspection efforts have also been stepped up, with two inspectors from the Chilean government agency Sernageomin arriving on Sunday to conduct evaluations in the Andes Norte sector. Codelco reported that it has efficiently responded to 21 inquiries from various regulatory and investigative bodies including the the Attorney General's Office, the Chamber of Deputies, the Labor Directorate, the PDI, the Regional Ministry of Health and Sernageomin. Meanwhile, Codelco's Internal Investigative Commission is continuing to meet to determine the precise causes of the accident.

Sophia Albarakbah exposes brutal online abuse
11 Aug - Enraged over the continuous harassment she received from netizens, Sophia Albarakbah finally revealed the reason why she decided to lodge a report to the police. Sharing several screenshots of sexual harassments and cyberbullying that she received over the course of the past week, the actress said that she has been receiving thousands of messages and comments, from harassment, slander, insult and even threats. "Some may think it's small but to me, these words cut deep. They hurt, they affect my emotions, and they damage my dignity as a woman and as a human being," she said. As for the screenshots, Sophia said that they were only a small part of it. "There are many more that are far worse. I'm not sharing to shame anyone, but to show the reality of what happens online. This is why I took action. Because silent doesn't change anything," she added. Sophia said that she decided to go to the police not to exact revenge but to protect her safety and dignity. "To everyone who has been through the same thing, you are not alone. And to those still spreading hate, remember that your words can leave scars that never heal," she added.
