Sara Sabry is Selected as Space For Humanity’s Second Citizen Astronaut to Experience the Overview Effect

DENVER, July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Space For Humanity (S4H), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, announced its selection committee has chosen Sara Sabry to become the organization’s second sponsored Citizen Astronaut. Sara will become the first Egyptian to fly to space when she flies aboard Blue Origin’s NS-22 flight.

Sara will become the first Egyptian to fly to space when she flies aboard Blue Origin’s NS-22 flight.

Sara, 29, is an Egyptian mechanical and biomedical engineer and founder of Deep Space Initiative (DSI), a nonprofit which aims to increase accessibility for space research. Sara became Egypt’s first female analog astronaut in 2021, when she was selected to complete a two week analog Moon mission, which simulated the extreme conditions astronauts experience in Space. She will join five other crew members including Coby Cotton, Mario Ferreira, Vanessa O’Brien, Clint Kelly III, and Steve Young aboard New Shepard to experience the cognitive shift of the Overview Effect and incorporate that new found perspective into a social impact project with the support of S4H’s Citizen Astronaut Program (CAP).

“When we dare to dream big, we achieve things deemed impossible, we break boundaries, write history, and set new challenges for the future,” said Sabry. “I am incredibly excited that Space For Humanity has offered me this opportunity and I am honored to be representing Egypt in Space for the first time. My ancestors have always dreamt big and achieved the impossible, and I hope to bring that back. This is just the beginning.”

Sara earned her bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in biology, chemistry, and pre-med at the American University in Cairo, going on to earn a master’s in biomedical engineering from the Politecnico di Milano. She is now pursuing a PhD in aerospace sciences with a focus on space suit design. Fluent in Arabic, French, and English, Sara grew up in Cairo and currently resides in Berlin. She shared that kids in the Western world grew up watching rocket launches, but children in the Arab world were mostly unaware of these exploits, which is why she is co-founding the Space Ambassadorship Program with the Egyptian Space Agency, to shed light on the important research opportunities and potential to benefit life on Earth.

“Many Egyptians have lost hope in our future and my hope is that by going to space, I can contribute to changing that; to bring hope to people, and to make them proud of where they come from,” added Sabry. “I believe that sharing my experience with the world will motivate the younger generation of Egyptians to pursue education and help change the perception of women, showing the world what we are truly capable of.”

Sara is the second beneficiary of S4H’s Citizen Astronaut Program, which sponsors exceptional candidates to experience the Overview Effect and then employ that new perspective to solve some of humanity’s most difficult challenges.

S4H has partnered with Paragon, a strategic advisory group focused on conscious leadership development programs that shift perspective, to design and implement the first-ever training program built specifically for the Overview Effect. Citizen Astronauts participate in training modules designed to optimize their ability to navigate the Overview Effect experience, fully integrate that experience, and equip them to live and lead from an Overview Perspective.

“In order to address the challenges that we face on a global scale, we need to look at the Earth as the complex, interconnected system that it is,” said Rachel Lyons, Executive Director of Space For Humanity. “One of the most powerful ways to generate that perspective is through the Overview Effect and viewing our planet from afar. We believe space is a tool for transformation, so we’re dedicated to giving as many people access to this experience as possible. Congratulations to Sara on being selected for this life-changing adventure, we know she will be an incredible ambassador for our mission and look forward to seeing how she uses this opportunity to change the world.”

S4H sent its first citizen astronaut, Katya Echazarreta, to Space aboard NS-21 on June 4, 2022. Katya is completing the third and final Application phase of the Citizen Astronaut Program, designing a “Life and Leadership Agreement” that outlines how she will continue to integrate and apply the value of the Overview Effect to her leadership role and humanitarian initiatives.

About Space for Humanity

Space for Humanity is expanding access to space for all of humanity. The nonprofit created the planet’s first Sponsored Citizen Astronaut Program, giving leaders, from any walk of life, the opportunity to apply to go to space and experience the Overview Effect: the cognitive shift in awareness that occurs when a human being looks down on the Earth from space.

Through its citizen spaceflight program, leadership training, and collaborative efforts to educate the public, Space for Humanity is setting the stage to create the world we want, both here on Earth and throughout the cosmos. For more information, please visit www.spaceforhumanity.org

Halal Route Application – Eat, Travel around Thailand, Safe and Sound Halal Style

Published

September 20, 2024

By

BANGKOK, Thailand, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Halal Science Center, Chulalongkorn University has developed Halal Route, an application that lists restaurants, lodging, mosques, prayer directions, and tourist attractions in Thailand under Islamic tourism principles. It hopes to help Muslim tourists travel in Thailand with peace of mind, and supports tourism industry operators to grow and welcome a growing number of Muslim tourists.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) predicts that in 2024 there will be around 168 million Islamic tourists worldwide.  According to the Mastercard-Crescent Rating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI 2024), Thailand is the 32nd most popular destination for Muslim tourists.  However, the major problem Muslim tourists encounter in Thailand is finding Halal-accredited restaurants, hotels, accommodations, or tourist attractions with service areas (such as prayer rooms) that are compliant with the Islamic way.

“Halal Route” is a travel aggregator app that collects searchable information on Halal restaurants, mosques, prayer locations, times, and directions for prayers (the qibla), tourist attractions, Muslim villages or communities, hotels, accommodations, etc.  This app is linked to Google Maps for navigation with precision. It also supports 3 languages, Thai, English, and Arabic, so that Muslim tourists can live and travel more comfortably and with peace of mind,” said Mr.Erfun Weahama, Science Service Officer, Halal Route App development team.

Dr. Anat Denyingyot, Assistant Director of the Halal Science Center, emphasized that the Halal Route application has the most reliable and comprehensive information on halal tourism in Thailand today. “All restaurants and locations have had on-site visits and are audited according to standards approved by a trusted authority or organization, such as certifications from religious organizations or halal food-related entities, as well as management systems to guarantee and be responsible for halal conditions (the HAL-Q system),” Dr. Anat assured.

Currently, the application has more than 1,100 restaurants in its database, and new locations and services are being updated, covering more than 40 provinces from north to south of Thailand that are popular among tourists.

“Halal Route is not only for navigation, but a platform that connects Muslim communities from around the world who have the opportunity to visit Thailand,” Associate Professor Dr.Winai Dahlan, Director of the Halal Science Center concluded.

The Halal Route application is free to download on both iOS and Android systems.

Major Factors Driving the Growth of QR Code Labels Market:

The QR code labels market is experiencing robust growth due to the increasing adoption across sectors like retail, logistics, marketing, and payments. The convenience, versatility, and cost-effectiveness of QR code labels, combined with the rise in mobile phone usage and the shift toward contactless technologies, are key drivers of this growth. Industries are leveraging QR codes for diverse applications such as inventory management, mobile payments, and marketing campaigns. However, concerns about data privacy and security may limit widespread adoption in certain regions.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE QR CODE LABELS MARKET:

 Flexographic printing holds the largest share in the QR code labels market due to its high-speed production capabilities and cost-effectiveness for large print runs. Flexographic printing is particularly popular in sectors like retail and logistics, where large quantities of QR code labels are required for packaging and inventory management. Its ability to print on a wide range of substrates, including paper, plastic, and metallic foils, makes flexographic printing the preferred choice for high-volume, cost-efficient QR code label production, driving its dominance in the market.

Digital printing is the second-largest segment, known for its flexibility, quick turnaround times, and ability to produce short print runs cost-effectively. This technology is widely adopted in the marketing and advertising sectors where businesses need customized QR code labels for targeted campaigns and promotions. Digital printing offers high-quality, precise printing for small batches, allowing companies to personalize QR codes for specific audiences or events. The growing trend of personalization in marketing is significantly driving the demand for digital printing in the QR code labels market.

Inventory management is the largest application segment, as QR code labels simplify tracking and monitoring products in warehouses, retail stores, and logistics chains. QR codes allow for real-time updates and easy access to product details, making inventory management more efficient. Businesses, especially in e-commerce and logistics, rely on QR codes to reduce human errors, improve accuracy, and streamline operations. As global trade and e-commerce continue to grow, inventory management remains the largest driver of the QR code labels market.

QR codes in marketing and advertising are increasingly popular as brands use them to engage customers directly through digital content. By scanning a QR code, consumers can access websites, videos, promotions, and other interactive media, enhancing brand interaction. This trend is particularly strong in retail and consumer goods sectors, where QR codes are used in packaging, billboards, and digital campaigns. With more consumers using smartphones, QR codes have become a key tool in marketing strategies, driving growth in this application.

The use of QR code labels for mobile payments is rapidly expanding, especially in regions like Asia-Pacific, where cashless transactions are becoming the norm. QR codes provide a secure, contactless payment solution, and their integration with mobile wallets makes them convenient for both consumers and businesses. The pandemic accelerated the shift to contactless payments, and the trend is expected to continue as more businesses adopt QR code-enabled payment systems. This rising trend is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the QR code labels market.

QR code labels are also being increasingly adopted for personal use, particularly in the context of social networking, personal branding, and event management. Individuals are using QR codes to share contact information, social media profiles, or event details. The ease of generating and sharing QR codes through mobile apps has made this technology accessible for personal use. As digital interaction becomes more integrated into daily life, personal use of QR code labels is expected to grow, further expanding the market.

The production of QR code labels, particularly in large quantities, is increasingly being scrutinized for its environmental impact. Companies are looking for sustainable printing solutions, such as eco-friendly inks and biodegradable materials, to reduce the environmental footprint of label production. Flexographic and digital printing technologies are evolving to meet these demands, with manufacturers investing in greener alternatives. The shift towards sustainability in label production is expected to shape the future of the QR code labels market.
