Egypt
These touristic places are full of surprises and we’ve never been to before. Visiting those obscure areas will take us through a mesmerizing journey of exploration. Let’s go there for a sightseeing adventure and learn about Egypt’s gems. Here are some glimpses of very interesting spots. The first glimpse is from the Petrified Forest in Maadi. There you can find remains of petrified wood, washed out by flooding ages ago, which is a rare n atural p hen om en on . An other glim p s e is dugongs, a breed of marine mammals residing in Red Sea’s Marsa Alam. These species are at risk of extinction though. Als o G ab al El Mawta is a cone-shaped mountain, a little to the north of Shali Fortress, dotted with tombs from the 26th dynasty and the Ptolemaic period. Many of these tombs are still very well-preserved. Moreover, from Gabal El-Mawta, you can catch amazing views of Siwa Oasis. Finally, Kitchener’s Island, which is located in the River Nile in Aswan, is also a magical island overlooking lush botanical gardens. That’s not it; still there are

Every once in a while a craze would pop up and become the talk of the town with a lot of hype surrounding it. Our society is constantly seeking what’s new whether clothing lines, electronic devices, TV shows, etc. until something else comes along to replace it. Such interventions help grow new interests and create an atmosphere of change – change is certainly good. Photography, the skill of picture-making, has without a doubt become the talk of the town these days. Maybe it’s because people feel like it’s an approachable medium to communicate their thoughts or because Cairo is so beautiful and worth taking every photo. The recent changes also force people to somehow feel morally responsible for occurrences to be stored in albums. Others see it as a craft and are simply fond of taking headshots or photographing landscapes to quench their
thirst of creativity. Reasons may vary but this art has remarkably evolved in Cairo where the simplest things that carry meaning are captured, not just historical landmarks. Everybody young, old, amateur or professional has a camera. Manipulating photos using software has become so easy as well. It is noticed that most photography enthusiasts are well-acquainted with camera accessories and using lens. Also photography schools and online communities have become pretty rampant. This skill started to develop as a profession as well, not just a hobby. The downside however is going overboard that taking photos has become the sole purpose of meeting friends to post them online. For whatever reason photography may have become an integral part of the Cairene society, it’s just nice to see change and to offer tools that boost talents.

The culture we grew up in forms our beliefs and character. Sometimes things get mixed up along the way though and we start to misunderstand some notions and get the wrong end of the stick. Those notions need to be corrected, like when someone tells you that black cats bring bad luck. In Cairo where word travels fast, really fast, misconceptions are pretty much everywhere. This article presents the truth about misconceptions that we’ve lived with for a long time. Everybody has definitely heard, “I’ve been working out for months now and I’m not losing any weight.” That’s because we’re doing it wrong and spreading it all around so others do it too. There are many misconceptions surrounding exercise and weight loss, by and large. First of all, aside from the

deep desire to lose weight, the point of exercise is to be healthy. The “no pain, no gain” is totally misperceived; we don’t have to strain ourselves and be in physical pain for exercise to be effective. Another thing is that we keep track of calories burnt on the cardio machine but the readings are not likely to be accurate most of the time so it’s no ground to count on. Those cardio machines are usually overcrowded with women thinking that they shouldn’t lift weights or use other exercise equipment because it’ll make them bulky; but part of being healthy is building body muscle and toning it. Lastly, for some reason, we all run for a protein shake by the end of the exercise routine, which is considered low-quality food. There are other cheaper and healthier alternatives that do the job.

Cairo tower Nehal El Zoheiry
Wednesday 15-01-2014 It is one of the most fabulous places in Cairo that you can ever go to. Cairo tower offers an amazing panoramic view of the Egyptian capital. The tower was designed by the Egyptian architect, Naoum Shebib, and its completion took five years, from 1956 to 1961. The perfect time to go up to the tower circular observation deck is the late morning or the late afternoon to enjoy the clearest views of the city. People searching for relaxation can also visit it in the sunset time and get pleasure from watching the colors of the sky and its reflection on River Nile. It has been the tallest structure in Egypt and North Africa about 50 years as a free standing concrete tower at 187 meters (614 feet). Being one of Cairo’s well-known modern monuments, standing in the Zamalek district on Gezira Island in River Nile, close to Downtown, made it a very admirable place for Egyptians. When you go there, you will always find loving couples, families and even school trips. They all share this charming portrait. In the 1960s, Egyptian President, Gamal Abdel Nasser, announced that the funds for the construction of the tower came
Volume 1 Issue 2
from the government of the United States, which had provided $6,000,000 as a personal gift with the intent of currying his favor. Affronted by the attempt to bribe him, Nasser decided to publicly rebuke the U.S. government by transferring the whole funds to the Egyptian government in order to build the tower. The design of the tower is intended to evoke a pharaonic lotus plant as a symbol of Ancient Egypt, and this attracted the tourists more and more because they are fond of the Egyptian civilization. They come from everywhere just to live a few moments in such atmosphere. Moreover, the tower’s visitors have the chance to dine in an unusual rotating restaurant with a view over greater Cairo. The rotation takes about 70 minutes.

Doctor Nasser Abdelal, Consultant of the Minister of Tourism for Asian Affairs, has received a delegation from China consisting of CEOs of companies that function in a Chinese area, which is considered to be one of the most important spots for travelers. Abdelal has confirmed that this delegation especially came to Egypt to assure to their people in China that Egypt is a safe place and it’s ok to visit the touristic destinations in Egypt. This came after the Chinese decision to lift the travel ban to Egypt and this also shows the trust between the two countries and the faith that Egypt is able to handle its inner situation. Abdelal also praised the performance of the ministry to revive tourism in Egypt and how it works harder and harder to restore the normal percentage of tourism coming to Egypt again. He also added that what happens in Egypt is an internal matter and has a little to do with tourism. According to the reports of the World Tourism Organization, Chinese tourists are among generous tourists in terms of spending in 2012 and it’s worth mentioning that in the same year 67,000 Chinese tourists visited Egypt.

The Egyptian museum is not just a museum like the other museums you might have heard about or visited before. This museum is not all about mummies and ancient monuments. The most important point is that this museum is full of other activities you might be interested in. The museum makes arrangements with schools to make them come there because the administration itself wants to let the children grow with their passion toward their country’s culture and be aware of how precious it really is. Also this makes the child more loyal to the country they belong to. There are other programs not just for schools but also for young adults like those who are at college. Students of different colleges go there for having sessions in drawing, sculpturing and so on, especially those who are in the Faculty of Fine Arts, Faculty of Art Education and Faculty of Tourism and Hotels. Other specialized lectures are also there in that historical museum. These specialized lectures are in mummifying, museum education and other focused lectures in all the departments of the museum. There are also training courses to know more about the monuments and the recent technical and scientific methods for restoration of the mummies and monuments. The curators of the museum explain the museum to the delegations coming from all over. Not only does it offer training courses but this is a place where you can visit and spend a very nice time and it’s worth visiting many times because only one time is not enough to see all its beautiful historical contents.
Before buying souvenirs and similar objects to be kept as mementos, ask yourself this question: Will I be able to haggle? The point of haggling is not being cheap but those kinds of products are known to have very flexible prices, which go up and down depending on the season and partially on the tourist’s nationality. Also, everything you buy has a value, which is determined by its price. Why on earth would you, for instance, buy a keychain for EGP 30 when it’s actually worth EGP 10? This is not a bargain. Haggling, however, would require a little bit of negotiation skills. Khan el-Khalili, in particular, is one of the most common areas where a handful of haggling takes place. You’ll definitely hear a lot of back-and-forth negotiating as you wander the alleys of Khan el-Khalili. You can settle this issue by doing a couple of things. First, set your budget and shop accordingly, then break the ice with the salesperson with some friendly conversation, listen if there are offers before setting the price, express your fondness of the item you want to buy, keep asking questions without giving away your maximum budget and start talking numbers smoothly without causing conflicts. The salesperson will offer a discount for sure but you have to be persistent and cool.
Traveling is without question the best life coach and experience you’ll get. Everything surrounding you is new and different. It’s an incredible feeling to leave your everyday bubble and hear new sounds, see new faces and figures, eat new food with different tastes, get exposed to a new kind of climate and learn about a history that doesn’t seem remotely connected to yours. When you get out of the box, the world starts to get wider in your eyes to a broad universe out there filled with endless sounds, tastes, colors, faces and scenes. Part of the pleasure of traveling derives from the trip and the anticipation that comes in your way till you reach your destination. To have a nice and comfortable trip, try as much as possible to travel light and also pay extra attention to your carry-on or handbag – the traveler’s indispensable asset. When you pick a handbag, keep in mind two factors: size and functionality. Concerning size, this is a carry-on, which means it should not exceed a certain size to allow mobility. Also some airline companies – not all of them – prohibit
oversize handbags so check the terms of the airline company you’re traveling with and adhere to them. In addition to size, weight could be a real hassle, so always ensure that you don’t fly carrying excess weight. That brings us to our next point: how are you wearing the handbag? Does it have straps? Shoulder straps are recommended so that your hands are not idle. Does it zip up? Is the material strong enough? Does it securely hold all your stuff? Make sure it doesn’t become the source of annoyance throughout the trip. You don’t want to lose your documents or your passport, which is the worst of all. Speaking of travel documents, packing your handbag is the most important phase in packing, in general. This is where you put all the money, cards, phone, passport and important documents so they must be accessible at all times. Make a checklist of the stuff you’ll need all the way starting from the place you leave to the airport then on the plane and back where you’ll be staying. That way, you’ll make traveling an enjoyable experience.

unexpectedly, I found that this magical city has dual nature. Besides being sumptuous, it really represents the ideal mixture of water and mountain. Tourist guides will offer you a tempting schedule with plenty of activities, which may leave you quite confused. So if you don’t have enough time, stay focused and pick different activities. As for water activities, I enjoyed a beautiful boat ride to “Tiran Island” where I went snorkeling to see the stunning underwater world. Coral reefs were a blaze of color, and I was amazed by the spectacular scene that I unconsciously broke the “don’t touch” rule and had skin scratches. After that, the desert called my name out loud. Checking the schedule, an eye-catching trip captivated
the mountain was breathtaking. Then, we visited Saint Catherine’s Monastery
— the most beautiful place on earth. Ironically, I met a nice Egyptian newly
married couple at the monastery, which made me realize that some of them do things other than taking photos
by the swimming pool. Moreover, I liked
“Naama Bay” but loved the “Old Market” even more, and the safari trip was also remarkable.
Sharm El-Sheikh is a very enchanting city and it suits all kinds of moods. You will definitely find there what you are searching for regardless of your personality: luxury, desert, and water are waiting for you to exceed your expectation of having a wonderful vacation.

GOZOOR Cultural Development organized an event at the Greek Club, Downtown Cairo on Dec. 25, 2013, to showcase Egyptian clothes inspired by the Egyptian identity and heritage.

Changes in ethics over time or guidelines that managers can use to decide whether a specific business decision is ethical or unethical. Finally, we consider the sources of managerial ethics and the reasons why it is important for a company to behave in a socially responsible manner. The nature of ethics
Dr. Hanan Abdel Moniem Ethics is the inner-guiding moral principles, values and beliefs that people use to analyze or interpret a situation and then decide what is the “right” or appropriate way to behave. According to “T.L. Beauchamp and N.E. Bowie (Eds.), Ethical Theory and Business: University of Notre Dame Press” we have to pay attention to the nature of the obligations and responsibilities of managers and the companies they work for, toward the people and society that are affected by their actions. First, we have to understand the nature of ethics and the sources of ethical problems. Second, we have to understand the major stakeholders groups that are affected by the way companies operate. Third, we will look at four rules
Ethical issues are central to the way societies, companies and their managers make decisions, and they affect not only the efficiency and effectiveness of the way societies operate but also the prosperity of a nation. The result of ethical behavior is a general increase in company performance and a nation’s standard of living, well-being and wealth. An ethical dilemma is the quandary people find themselves in when they have to decide if they should act in a way that might help another person or group, and if it is the “right” thing to do, even though it might go against their own self-interest. Ethical beliefs alter and change as time passes, and as they do so laws change to reflect the changing ethical beliefs of a society. Stakeholders and ethics Stakeholders are people and groups who have a claim on and a stake in a company. The main stakeholder groups are stockholders, managers, employees, suppliers and distributors, customers; and a community, society and nation. Companies and their man-
agers need to make ethical business decisions that promote the well-being of their stakeholders and avoid doing them harm.
Ethics and social responsibility A company’s stance on social responsibility
is the way its managers and employees
view their duty or obligation to make
decisions that protect, enhance and promote the welfare and well-being of stakeholders and society as a whole.
Approaches to social responsibility There are four main approaches to social responsibilities: obstructionist, defensive, accommodative and proactive. The rewards from behaving in a socially responsible way are a good reputation, the support of all organizational stakeholders, and thus superior company performance.

To determine if a business decision is ethical, managers can use four ethical rules to analyze it: the utilitarian, moral rights, justice and practical rules. Managers should behave ethically because this avoids the tragedy of the commons and results in a general increase in efficiency, effectiveness and company performance. The main determinants of differences in a manager’s, company’s and country’s business ethics are societal, occupational, individual and organizational.

Ill-treatment by banks Banks are notorious for not giving small business owners their due credit. If you are just starting out, expect challenges in getting additional funding. There are a lot of banks that will make unreasonable demands yet offer little in return. A number of entrepreneurs are forced into using their personal credit card because they cannot get small business loans.

Simply this is ABC of e-commerce concepts. So where are the digital economy benefits? The answer will pop up when you think deeply about the benefits of using souq.com and Dubizzle.com for the Egyptian economy. Why would you like to use these websites instead of visiting any mall to buy your needs and do some shopping? In Egypt the answer is easy: to solve problems of traffic and bad transportation conditions, the regular weekend demonstrations and finally the poor offers of some outlets and stores. All these problems are solved by those websites, which help you save money, time and efforts. Also you can pay for your order when you receive it without using Visa or MasterCard. These websites are pioneers in the digital economy field because they broke down the fear of the people of shopping online and built big awareness campaigns on the benefits of using them. At the end of this article, I would say that the main factor of business success is gaining customers trust. I call it “GCT factor,” which we will talk about soon.
Ahmed Essa On e thin g is cer tain in b us in es s : challenges are inevitable. The key to success is forging ahead despite the difficulties. Some challenges are easy to see or predict. For instance, it is a common fact that many small businesses struggle with their cash flow, branding and finding good employees. But it is the unexpected challenges that ultimately threaten the existence of a b us in es s . If you wan t to b ecom e a successful entrepreneur, it is important to expect the unexpected. Below are some things most new entrepreneurs struggle with. Short sleeping hours To be successful, entrepreneurs and small business have to work long
hours. If you’re used to a 9-to-5 job, then adjusting to this lifestyle may be a struggle. Depending on the kind of
business you run, you may be expected to get up in the middle of the night
to solve a crisis. Somehow, you will be expected to deal with the business
problems whenever and wherever you are. Think of yourself as on call 24/7.
It is especially important for entrepreneurs to hire employees they can trust. Small enterprises are highly vulnerable and if an employee steals a significant amount from your business, this can cause it to close down. If this happens to your business, the worst thing you can do is to give up. Pursue a case against the employee and seek additional funding. Everything on the line You’ve probably heard about businessmen who used their home as collateral to get capital. Most of the time, you’ll hear about success stories about how they put everything on the line. What you don’t hear about are countless other businessmen who lost their homes and had to start from scratch because their previous venture hadn’t worked out. In times of extreme stress, it is important to keep your head on your shoulders, figure out what you’re doing wrong and start running your business the right way (or scrap the venture altogether and start anew). It is important to realize that surrendering to challenges is the worst thing you can do in running a business. If there is a chance to overcome the difficulty, take it! Giving up before you even try is a recipe for disaster.

Smart Home: Samsung’s new technology
Yomna Hesham
The Korean company Samsung has launched its new smart technology, which is called Smart Home. This technology is made especially to connect all the machines, electronics and even the system of your home directly to you to be able to control them all at once through this smart watch. For example, if you forgot to turn off the lights at home before going out, you could simply do this action through saying simple words like “I will go out now.” Samsung said that till now this technology is made for Samsung’s products but the company promised that this technology can be spread to reach even the non-Samsung products too, but this is still not approved. This technology will be disclosed in an annual electronics fair in Las Vegas, United States. This annual fair will also include all the new technologies, which are made by different international companies.
Reading: books versus e-books
Noha Mostafa
Do you feel more comfortable with books? Do you love the odor of papers, touching the cover, etc.? If so, which books do you choose to take when you travel? Do you prepare two suitcases, one for clothes and the other for books? I think this is quite confusing, and here comes the importance of e-books. It isn’t about which one of them is better, but e-books let you take your library with you anywhere. Being emotionally connected to books doesn’t prohibit you from using both options. Additionally, e-books differ a lot from tablets as they are designed deliberately for reading. With the special lightening technique and long battery life, e-books are considered the best reading device. Moreover, some ebooks give you the impression of reading from a printed paper book under a lamp, which is more soothing for the eyes. Although some people are quite biased toward what they are used to, merging some technology into our stagnant thinking will make life easier.

Going through my Facebook home page, scrolling down the usual news of what is happening in Egypt and around the world, feeling neutral toward every piece of news, all looks the same; suddenly Cairo became gloomy and dark. I decided to give up on social media and shut down my laptop, but I stopped at a picture of a little boy from Egypt, from an area that seems a bit modest, carrying on his face the most beautiful smile ever. I decided to open the page and scroll between the posts. And here it was ladies and gentlemen: I found myself going through photos that represent the real Cairo, the one I fell in love with. “Cairo Captions” is a Facebook page that presents the real heart of Cairo, the people and the stories behind them. The page is created by Amina Mansour, a 30-year-old freelance copywriter and photographer who was inspired by the Facebook page, Humans of New York. Amina’s passion is to roam the streets of Cairo and dig for real stories. Through her camera and stories, she presents the real Cairo people, the simple people who pose with their enchanting smile in front of the camera. Through her Facebook posts, Amina managed to bring the real part of Cairo to the virtual world of social media pages. She presents the real Cairo that lately people seem to have forgotten.

Caroline starts a happy new year Nehal El Zoheiry Caroline Wozniacki, the Danish tennis player, started the new year of 2014 with a great joy after declaring her engagement to the Irish golf player, Rory McIlroy, who also confirmed this news on Twitter. He wrote that he wishes a happy year for all and that he feels the new year is going to be a great one especially when he won Caroline’s agreement to his proposal. Caroline also said on the same social site that she said yes and they started 2014 with a grand decision. She also put a picture of the engagement ring in her hand. The two players have started their relationship more than two years ago, but unexpectedly they declared their engagement when rumors started to spread the last few weeks about their separation.

Youth and tobacco
Nehal El Zoheiry
Egypt is now shedding light on a very serious problem that faces so many countries which is smoking. The fact is nearly 90 percent of adult smokers begin smoking at or before the age of 18. If someone has not started smoking by the age of 21, it is not likely they will. In fact, the addiction rate of smoking is higher than the addiction rates of marijuana, alcohol or cocaine. Most long-term smokers start smoking in their youth, so delaying the age of first smoking experience can reduce the risk of becoming regular or daily smokers; it also increases their chances of successfully quitting. It can take a heavy smoker an average of seven quit attempts before quitting successfully. Smoking is a very common phenomenon that we all suffer from, both smokers and nonsmokers who turn to be negative smokers. Although they believe it is extremely harmful and causes death and they read it every time they buy a pack of cigarettes, they do not have the willingness to conquer such fatal habit! If smokers are not keen on their health, so who is? Most smokers also believe that smoking a cigarette while being nervous makes them calm and gets rid of their anger, which is totally far from the truth. In Egypt, some smokers find that the water pipes (Shisha) have less damage effects than ordinary cigarettes and they enjoy smoking them in coffee shops with several flavors and they smoke them not only outside their homes but also in front of their children at home. Nearly 40 percent of all men in Egypt smoke while the percentage of reported women smokers is about two percent ONLY. This is due to social taboos that push female smoking into private areas; many of them still lack this courage to appear in public holding a cigarette.
it also leads to the lack of oxygen and shortness of breath. That’s why smokers run slower and can’t run as far as nonsmokers and as a result it will affect your youth activities and athletic performance. Smoking also causes other big disasters. It is never too late; save your life and quit smoking.

Frustration is the key to breaking the mold
Dear smokers, you ought to know that nicotine is poisonous; it can be used as a pesticide on crops, and a drop of pure nicotine is quite enough to kill a person. Tobacco also narrows blood vessels and puts a strain on the heart;

Political leaders have either stepped down or promised drastic reforms.
Ahmed Essa In Egypt and across the Middle East, the staggering lack of opportunities has led to frustration amongst youth. Entrepreneurs who have political connections find it difficult and unfair to compete with more established businesses. Corruption and economic stagnation can be traced as some of the potent factors that led to massive street protests across the region. It is also a fact that unemployment among youth in the Middle East and North Africa is highest among any region the world. The reason can be traced to an anemic private sector. It is not surprising then that frustration is rife in the region. Why frustration may be a good thing On an individual and societal level, frustration has been the key to sweeping changes that have shaped our world today. When people feel frustrated, they feel the need to do something – which is exactly what happened in many parts of the Middle East. The young have broken from the mold.
The changes that the MENA region went through up to this date is only the start. With better governance, transparency and streamlined bureaucracy, more businesses will be given a fighting chance. The entrepreneurs of today will be given the chance to shape their own future. Here are some guidelines that can help you take things one step further. Uncover entrepreneurship opportunities There are a lot of untapped opportunities in the region. In fact, a report from the World Bank noted that firms in the MENA region are older than other parts of the world. This basically means that when it comes to information technology, software development and social net wo r k ing, t h e road is c lear fo r entrepreneurs who want to make money from these types of businesses. Learn from the models in other countries In the Middle East, it is noted that business managers are older and incumbent firms face little competition. For this reason, businesses in the region don’t tend to be as innovative as they can be. Fortunately, you can take inspiration from foreign models! Companies such as Google and Facebook didn’t become successful by being “hierarchical.” They invest in people, work in teams and prize innovation.
Amr Ashraf from Alexandria is currently studying for his senior year at the Faculty of Computer Science at the AUC. Education and being busy with exams does not stop this young man from going after his dreams at a younger age. At school, Amr used to practice lots of extra activities to sharpen his skills. Amr then founded TEDxAUC, a franchise from TED global. He wanted to give more exposure to the AUC community with the people outside the university. TEDxAUC turned very successful as the biggest TED event was held in Egypt in October, 2013, with around 1500 attendees. This year, Amr has founded his new company, Engezni, a food ordering app and web portal designed to save people the hassle. According to Amr, it also helps you choose what to eat and spot the best places of food in Cairo, places you actually did not know were there.

فامطة السيد
Bugatti Veyron. Top Gear is one of the world’s widely watched British shows about automobiles and cars. It is a factual TV series presented by Jeremy Clarkson and his co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond. They take cars for test drives to review them and make comparisons. If you’re a big fan of cars, watch the show on BBC. This article demonstrates segments of random episodes. Have you ever wondered what the fastest car in the world is? It’s the Bugatti Veyron manufactured in Molsheim, Alsace in north-eastern France – the fastest, most powerful and most expensive car the world has ever seen. When we say most expensive, we’re talking £840,000. British Pounds. In season 9, James May, or Captain Slow as they call him, takes the fastest car in the world for a test drive in Volkswagen’s test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany. This is a five-mile flat road, in which you stand in the middle and don’t see the end of it. The target is to go 407 kph. But first, what happens when you get into the car? This is no ordinary car. You insert a special key into the slot by the door, so the diffuser flats close, the rear spoiler retracts and the whole car descends to be as slippery as possible. James uses a telemetry box to measure the speed in kilometers and miles. It looks out of the ordinary when he starts the ignition and the camera goes to the speedometer showing the number 420! As James accelerates, the engine gets louder and louder that it’s so hard to even speak. That must’ve been an experience of a lifetime. In very little time, the speed then starts to fluctuate at 404 going like this 404, 405, 404, 405, 406…and voilà 407! It looks like the roads were shaking. This car is faster than a Formula 1 car. James describes it saying that it’s phenomenal with ferocious power and also incredibly stable. In another episode, the Bugatti races an airplane and if you think about it, it’s fair play for a Bugatti to compete with an airplane.

Michael Schumacher crashed in ski accident in the French Alpine resort of Meribel. ... The 44-year-old racing driver is fighting for his life when he was airlifted to Grenoble after falling heavily and hitt in g his head while skiing on the unmarked slope at the Méribel resort with a group of friends and his 14-year-old son. People worldwide were worried about the seven-time former world champion’s condition especially after hours of silence, which raised concerns about Schumacher. The Grenoble hospital issued a statement at the night of the accident describing his state as “critical.” The statement stated that he was in a coma on arrival at the hospital suffering from “severe brain trauma” and had undergone surgery. The French Grenoble-based newspaper Le Dauphiné Libéré reported that Schumacher’s injuries had worsened and were now “life threatening.” The good news is that Schumacher showed slight improvement after a two-hour operation but we cannot say he is out of danger especially that he had been skiing at an altitude of 2,100 meters. He was rescued by two ski patrollers who requested helicopter evacuation to the nearby valley town of Moutiers, before he was subsequently moved to a bigger facility at Grenoble. A great champion like Schumacher, who won seven world championships and secured 91 race victories during a 19-year career in Formula 1, needs us to pray for him.
The German retired in 2006, but returned in 2010 with Mercedes. After three seasons which yielded just one podium finish, he quit the sport at the end of 2012.
