The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix looks set to welcome back fans this year for the Formula One season finale.
The 2021 campaign is well under way, with world champion Lewis Hamilton trailing Max Verstappen in the driver's championship by four points as they head for the French Grand Prix this weekend.
Formula One fans have now been asked to pre-register for tickets to the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi – set to take place on Sunday, December 12 – which is planning to host spectators in a "safe and managed environment".
A statement on the Yas Marina Circuit website reads: "We're delighted to welcome back fans for one of the biggest events on the world's sporting calendar.
"2021 sees the UAE celebrating its 50th anniversary and a myriad of accomplishments, not least bringing the 13th edition of the Formula One Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix back to the world stage.
"With a packed F1 calendar for 2021, including the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2021, Abu Dhabi will bring the curtain down on what promises to be an exciting season both on and off the track across four supercharged days.
"Every year we look forward to delivering a weekend of sporting and entertainment like no other in the region, and 2021 is no different.
"However, this extraordinary year there will be a few changes to our regular format. 2021 will see us entertaining fans in a safe and managed environment, and we’ll be sharing more details once we launch our ticket sales over the coming weeks. It’s safe to say though, it will be a fantastic weekend to remember."
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened. He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia. Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”. Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
