When Omer Khan landed here in the UAE more than two decades ago, cricket was his ticket to a new life. A former national-level cricketer in India, Khan got his first job in the shipping industry on the back of his versatile skills as a left-handed opening batsman and a right-arm off-spinner. The company hired him to play for their cricket team in UAE’s A Division club matches and also offered him a ‘small’ job. Khan continued to play cricket for a few years in Dubai before quitting the sport to focus completely on his work. But hailing from a…
A stunning new image of a supernova remnant combines data from four different telescopes to show a colorful, detailed picture of a busy region of space. The remnant 30 Doradus B (or 30 Dor B) was created when a massive star came to the end of its life and exploded, and while the explosion was only brief, it sculpted the dust and gas around the star in a way that remains visible even now, thousands of years later. The image combines X-ray, infrared, and visible light observations from various telescopes to show the many features of the region, as NASA…

The US dollar rose to a two-week high on Wednesday, underpinned by elevated US Treasury yields, as investors questioned the market expectation of six interest rate cuts in 2024. Trading was relatively subdued, with Japanese markets shut for a holiday and investors waiting for important US economic releases later in the day, including minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting. Bitcoin, meanwhile, sank more than 5 per cent on Wednesday after climbing to more than $45,000 on Tuesday, its highest since April 2022. Still, optimism about bitcoin remained high amid a possible approval this week of a spot exchange-traded fund…
Greta Gerwig should be feeling closer to fine these days. In just three weeks in theatres, “Barbie” is set to sail past $1 billion in global ticket sales, breaking a record for female directors that was previously held by Patty Jenkins, who helmed “Wonder Woman”. “Barbie,” which Gerwig directed and co-wrote, added another $53 million from 4,178 North American locations this weekend according to studio estimates on Sunday. The Margot Robbie-led and produced film has been comfortably seated in first place for three weeks and it’s hardly finished yet. Warner Bros. said the film will cross $1 billion before the…
Just ahead of CES 2024, Dell has preempted the show by announcing some impressive new UltraSharp monitors that continue an important trend in display technology. For the longest time, we’ve been stuck with 60Hz productivity monitors. Sure, gaming displays were free to keep exploring the upper reaches of refresh rates (now even up to 500Hz), but for those doing content creation or office work, 60Hz has remained the standard for external monitors. But Dell is finally bucking that trend. Dell has two new monitors in the lineup: the UltraSharp 40 Curved Thunderbolt Hub Monitor (U4025QW) and the UltraSharp 34 Curved…

Ukraine and Russia on Wednesday announced their first exchange of prisoners of war for nearly five months, with more than 200 freed by each side after what Moscow said was a complex negotiation involving mediation by the UAE.

Ukraine’s POW coordination centre also acknowledged the UAE’s role in the exchange, without giving details. Despite the lack of any…
A lot of folks got a new set of Apple or Beats wireless headphones or earbuds for the holidays, only to discover that things don’t sound as good as expected when listening to Apple Music. If that’s been your experience too, don’t worry — it’s very unlikely that your new wireless earbuds or headphones are to blame. The real culprit is Apple Music itself. That sounds like hooey, especially if you’re a longtime Apple Music listener and it’s never been a problem for you in the past. But if your previous earbuds or headphones were made by a company other…
