This week, we’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Sopranos, the hit HBO series that quite literally changed the game for TV. Prior to that show, conventional networks wouldn’t dare to put a truly irredeemable leading character on TV. Call it the Tony Soprano effect. With series like Breaking Bad and many others, the show’s influence continues to resonate even after two-and-a-half decades. Many of Netflix‘s darker series wouldn’t have been possible if The Sopranos hadn’t led the way. That’s why we’re throwing the spotlight on three great shows on Netflix that carry on the spirit of The Sopranos. If…
A first-of-its-kind system in the UAE and the region now instantly tracks all judicial enforcement decisions and cancels them after the required payment of dues. The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department has adopted a new system that tracks the payment status, and once the respondent has completed the payment, it cancels the original decision. After electronic approval, this is then forwarded to the relevant authorities. This new system ensures that individuals don’t have to go through the hassle of gathering documents related to proof of payment and cancellation. This also makes sure the process is carried out smoothly without the intervention…
A Palestinian stole a car and rammed people in central Israel on Monday, injuring at least 13, police said, adding that the suspect was in custody and his motivations were being investigated. Israeli media said some people may have also been stabbed in the incident in Raanana, north of Tel Aviv, which came amid heightened security tensions over the more than three-month-old war with Hamas militants in Gaza. “This was apparently a suspected terrorist ramming attack,” police said in a statement. It said the suspect was from the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. Stay up to date…
Sharjah Sustainable City, the first sustainable master-planned community in the emirate of Sharjah developed in partnership with the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) and Diamond Developers, has commenced the handover process for homeowners who purchased villas in the second phase of the project. The announcement of the handover for the second phase comes after an overwhelming response to the sustainable community, signifying a major achievement, with 85% of the project spanning across four phases already sold out by the end of December 2023. The strong sales performance of Sharjah Sustainable City comes at a time when eco-conscious living has…
As the Palestinian anthem rang out before their Asian Cup opener against Iran, defender Mohammed Saleh’s thoughts turned to his life in Gaza and his family trapped under Israeli bombardment. Saleh had not heard from his family in two days as he took to the pitch in Doha’s Education City Stadium on Sunday in front of 27,619 fans. “They are living in a tent on open land… May God help them,” he said after the match, explaining that his home in Gaza City had been destroyed and his family pushed from house to house during over 100 days of fighting…
The NFL recently made history by airing the first of its 2024 playoff games not on a network, but exclusively on the streaming service Peacock TV. That meant that unless you’d signed up for Peacock, you couldn’t watch the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins (the Chiefs won, incidentally). This arrangement had NFL fans the world over asking the same question: does Peacock have a free trial? After all, a simple solution would have been to sign up for a Peacock trial, watch the game, then cancel the subscription. The unfortunate answer is that Peacock TV…
The UAE government ranked first globally in the government’s rapid responsiveness to change, according to the first edition of the Future Possibilities Index. From the UAE pavilion in Davos, Newsweek Vantage International and the Swiss Horizon Group launched the results of the first edition of the “Future Possibilities Index” (FPI) report – 2024. Last year, the two international institutions and the UAE government launched a partnership to produce this report, which assesses the future possibilities empowered by global transformations and the countries’ readiness to employ them to serve future development in key sectors. The report showed that the UAE ranked…
A missile fired from Yemen struck a US-owned ship just off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, less than a day after Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired an anti-ship cruise missile toward an American destroyer in the Red Sea, officials said. Suspicion immediately fell on the Iranian-backed Houthis, though the rebels did not immediately acknowledge carrying out the assault on the Gibraltar Eagle. It marked the latest attack roiling global shipping amid Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis have targeted that crucial corridor linking Asian and Mideast energy and cargo shipments to the Suez…
Boeing will add further quality inspections for the 737 MAX after a mid-air blowout of a cabin panel in an Alaska Airlines MAX 9 earlier this month, the head of its commercial airplanes division said on Monday. The planemaker will also deploy a team to supplier Spirit AeroSystems — which makes and installs the plug door involved in the incident — to check and approve Spirit’s work on the plugs before fuselages are sent to Boeing’s production facilities in Washington state, Stan Deal, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in a letter to Boeing employees. The new actions from Boeing…
