When Gail Annette Tregear sat down in front of her television set at her home in Canberra, Australia, to watch the 2000 Dubai World Cup, little did she know that the experience would have a major impact on her life and passion for horse racing. She was so exalted with how the Godolphin superstar Dubai Millennium won the race, flattening his rivals with his imperious turn of foot, that she made up her mind to travel to Dubai the next year to attend the showpiece at Nad Al Sheba racecourse. And she did. “I’ll never forget that first visit, it…
Seeing “Unknown Caller” appear when your phone rings can be a bit unsettling. Most of us are never quite sure whether to take a chance and answer these calls or send them off to our voicemail.

While we can’t offer you any advice on what to do with these unknown calls — you’ll have to make that “call” yourself — we can help you understand exactly what…

“It’s a Sony”. Time was when this tag line in Sony commercials said it all. In the guise of a statement, it was a seemingly a question that Sony was posing to the world: “It’s a Sony, isn’t that enough said?” The tinge of arrogance in that tagline is hard to miss, in retrospect, especially after the rest of the consumer electronics world has caught up with the Japanese giant in quite a few areas, and indeed even surpassed it in some. But if ever any brand had legitimate claims to glory and global greatness, it’s Sony, the brand that…

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) was established in December 1960 replacing the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) which was formed in April 1948 to administer the European recovery programme. The OECD was set up to promote economic growth and cooperation among countries to improve the economic and social well-being of people worldwide. In July 2013, the OECD initiated the base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) project to combat tax avoidance. The project aimed to address the annual loss of tax revenue, estimated to be between $100 billion and $240 billion, resulting from multinational corporations engaging in…
MacBooks have dominated the laptop landscape over the past few years. As good as Windows laptops are, they just haven’t been able to compete with MacBooks in terms of efficiency or performance-per-watt. It’s what allows modern MacBooks to be thinner, quieter, and longer-lasting, without losing performance. They’re so efficient that you don’t even lose performance when on battery. Coming into 2024, I was excited about Windows laptops fighting back, especially with the adoption of Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite chips. But due to some recent developments, I’m beginning to worry about about just how successful this transition can really be.…
