And with the holidays coming up, we thought it would be a perfect time to chat with Duprie about entertaining and getting all dolled up this season.

The Abbott government is cutting $4.5 billion from the aid budget over four years because politically it is safe to do so. In a world in which Australians are the most advantaged of all people, that's a depressing measure of national selfishness.

 As the world's most well-off people, we should gladly devote a tiny bit more of our taxes to helping the worst-off.

While this level of upside is not extraordinary relative to other potential opportunities, it carries, in our view, a lower level of risk.

 The value of Dior's stake in LVMH is not based on subjective assumptions, but on publicly available, objective financial data. The Discount Gucciquestion to be answered now is this: wha We heard you went to school in Chicago! Where did you go, what did you study, and—most importantly—where did you shop?

This launch is clearly seasonal in the UK and corresponds with summer’s hotter temperatures; yet also shows that the pouch RTD can expand its presence beyond the US.
