Dear Sail Readers,

As we publish our 42^nd issue, summer holidays will be over. Employees who take their annual holiday in the summer will be back to their work, refreshed and ready to resume work more effectively. Students will be back to their schools and universities, to a new academic year, with a fresh start, and hopefully, to a very successful year ahead. I hope you all have enjoyed your much needed breaks!

In this issue we welcome a new columnist to our team: Muna AlMulla through her column: Out of Copyright. Muna is a 26-year-old Emirati from Dubai who studied Bachelor’s in Pharmacy in Dubai Women’s College and continued her education in Masters of Innovation and Change Management at Hamdan Bin Mohammed E-University where she graduated with honors. She works as a Senior Executive of Pharmaceutical Services at Dubai Healthcare City and her absolute dream is to create her own business and give back to the community. In her column: “Out of Copyright”, she will be writing about the different life lessons she’s learnt along her life. Muna is also a photographer with a great angle in her shots.
