ABU DHABI // Brigitte Scholz made two mistakes that landed her in prison. The first was to trust the Nigerian “businessman” who absconded with $180,000 that she was convicted of stealing. The second was to employ a “lawyer” who turned out to be a conman. As reported in The National last week, Mohamad Al Kawadri is one of a group of impostors posing as lawyers who tout […]

A sell-off in eurozone government bonds has left German yields at their highest level in a year, challenging investors who have long become accustomed to low inflation and weak economies keeping market interest rates at record low levels.

From the Slope of Hope: Being an equity bear has been brutal for, oh, nearly eight years now.

One area, though, seems to be recognizing a bitterly cold chill of reality, and that is retail. Not everything retail […]

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, has become one of the first chief executives to openly challenge President Donald Trump, criticising an executive order that pledges “extreme vetting” of immigrants and a ban on Syrian refugees.

Successful investors will be those who focus on the legislative and regulatory minutiae and on the realities of creating legislation on Capitol Hill. Trading in the bonds […]

But in interviews with dozens of officials, analysts and ordinary citizens across Muslim-majority countries, there was overwhelming agreement that the order issued Friday signaled a provocation: a sign that the American president sees Islam itself as the problem.

Most conversations in edtech—and higher-education reform more broadly—begin and end with the classroom. And not without good reason. Teaching is a primary function of the university, especially at community colleges.
