Founder Jeff Bezos stepped down as chief executive in 2021, but he remains the executive chair and largest shareholder of a company now known as an e-commerce and cloud computing giant. Since its foundation as a bookseller, the company has grown into an online retail heavyweight where consumers can buy almost anything. It has also expanded, making many of its own products that it sells online, i...

Heading down the path, suddenly two bright blue birds the size of turkeys appear, all aquamarine plumage and bright red beaks. These are two Takahēs, and, nodding like chickens, they creep around, glancing over from time to time. They only head off into the high grass when I tiptoe up towards them and come within 20 metres of them. I'm on a hike in New Zealand, heading along the Heaphy Track with a group and my fellow walkers don't believe when I tell them what I saw later on, as I don't have a picture to prove it. That's because among all the rare and wonderful birds New Zealand boasts, the t...

Here are some skin care essentials for 60+ skin: What does 60+ skin need most?

Eilish, who's 22, said she later saw that he was dating someone. "And I was like ‘oh.’ But I didn’t know people still did that. I genuinely didn’t know people did that." Well, they do. Anyone can be ghosted, and anyone can become a ghoster, says couples therapist Eric Hegmann. Ghosting - for the uninitiated - is suddenly, without explanation, endin...

The familiar sight of brightly coloured printed prices on supermarket shelves could soon be a thing of the past as big-name retailers weigh up going digital. Not only have some Carrefour and Lidl outlets in Europe switched over to using electronic or digital labels, but across the Atlantic Ocean, Walmart, the world’s biggest retailer, is to install the technology in 2,300 of its US outlets in a move that could sway more of the industry to follow suit. Walmart’s management believes the change will not only mean "an even better shopping experience" but will reduce the need for staff "to walk aro...
