The Banana Island Off The Coast Of Doha Is An Enclave Of Paradise.

Overwater villas, golden sands, and beautiful turquoise water do not necessarily come to mind when picturing a vacation in Doha. But just off the coast of Doha's capital lies a top destination that allows a person to get everything they want and more. The luxury resort island of Banana Island, which opened in 2015, is a top destination for vacationers seeking their ideal getaway. Operated by Thailand-based Anantara, the luxury resort island has become one of Qatar's only overwater bungalow resorts, featuring some of the Gulf region's only such accommodations. The island's 36 overwater bungalows are fully equipped with lounging decks and private infinity pools, as well as one of just two overwater bungalow resorts in the Gulf region -- the second is the Palm Resort in Dubai.

Lebron James’ Cavaliers Had No Answer To Kyrie Irving’s Celtics.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have seen a lot during their dynasty. They've played by far the most high-stakes series and squared off with the widest variety of superstars, MVPs, and would-be dethroners during their six Finals trips in eight years. But the Celtics are unlike any team they've faced this season. Every opponent in the playoffs brings new challenges, and every playoff series is different. However, the Warriors' history of having won three championships prepared them for every step of their current playoff run. When the Dubs faced Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol in the 2015 West semifinals, they learned how to effectively defend a big man who can act as his team's offensive fulcrum. They applied those lessons to Denver Nuggets center Nik...

Snapchat Has Unveiled Its Updated Spectacles Sunglasses With A Highly Expensive Price Point.

Snap isn't walking away from its high-quality smart shades. The parent company of Snapchat, Snap Inc., recently announced Spectacles 3, an upgraded version of its video-recording sunglasses with new 3D effects and an eye-popping price tag. The device will ship in the fall but is available for preorder now; it retails at $380, more than double the cost of its previous version. In 2016, Snap Inc. launched a pair of video-recording glasses called Spectacles through vending machines. The glasses were a viral hit; people waited hours to get them. Some resellers listed them on eBay for more than $900. But the hype fizzled, and the company ultimately had to take a nearly $40 million writedown for excess inventory. Last year Snap (SNAP) brought back the Spectacles, which had...

Clerks In The Supreme Court Were Tasked With Requesting Phone Calls, Causing The Exclusive Supreme Court Leak Investigation To Heat Up.

Supreme Court officials have taken steps to find the source of the leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade, requiring law clerks to provide cell phone records and sign affidavits, three sources with knowledge of the efforts have told CNN. According to clerks, some of whom were alarmed by the sudden requests for private cell data and have begun exploring whether to hire outside counsel, some clerks are apparently so alarmed over the moves by the government that they have begun exploring whether to hire outside counsel. The release of documents by the Supreme Court to investigators is the most striking development yet in an investigation into who might have provided Politico with a draft opinion piece it published on May 2. The probe has intensified the already high tensi...

Courteney Cox Remarked That She Looked “Really Strange” After Surgery.

Actress and singer Courtney Cox has spoken about her changing attitude to cosmetic procedures, as well as aging and career insecurity. In a recent interview, the 57-year-old "Friends" star spoke with the UK's Sunday Times Style magazine about her new comedy horror TV show, "Shining Vale," in which she plays a depressed erotic novelist who moves from New York City to rural Connecticut with family. Cox said it was "exciting" to play a character so flawed and real: "The fact that she's going through this midlife crisis slash menopause." Cox is herself not far off 60, and her character on the show is wrestling with the aging process She said, "It's hard to hear or even say it. I can't believe it. There's nothing wrong with being 60, I just can't believe it." Time ...

A Number Of Fashion Trends Have An Affinity For Feet.

As part of its spring couture collection at Paris Fashion Week, luxury fashion house Schiaparelli debuted a new, instantly adored line of gilded corsets, cosmos-inspired designs and dramatic black-and-white silhouettes. But each runway look was offset with a curious sartorial detail: either a pair of black pumps with gold dagger-like toenails (dubbed "claw couture" on Schiaparelli's Instagram) or a manicured set of toenails carved into a pair of slingbacks. Last summer, the brand's footwear collection had a similar flourish, featuring a round toe cap with five sculptural-looking extremities dipped in gold lacquer -- most recently worn by Doja Cat at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night. In recent years, designers have increasingly turned to toes for inspiration. In May 20...

Corporate Raiders Are Approaching Hellmann’s And Dove.

Unilever, a brand behind such items as Dove soap, Hellmann's mayonnaise, and Vaseline, is making a major change in New York City. Unilever (UL) announced Monday that Nelson Peltz, one of the most influential corporate raiders on Wall Street, will join the company's board of directors. Peltz's private investment fund owns a 1.5% stake in Unilever and is known for pushing under-performing companies to restructure, spin-off businesses and even break up. In the past, Peltz has helped force changes at food and consumer giants such as Procter & Gamble (PG), Mondelez (MDLZ) and Wendy's (WEN). Peltz's plans for Unilever are not yet clear, as the company has lagged behind its competitors in recent years and made three failed bids to acquire GlaxoSmithKline's consumer health care...
