While Windows users often close down their PCs at the end of the day, those with Macs tend to leave them on indefinitely. Many Mac users engage in this behavior because they want to pick up where they left off, but also because experience has shown them that Macs tend to cope well with this kind of behavior—probably because Apple has designed macOS and Macs to be very efficient in terms of energy use and performance. But is this a good idea? There are three options open to every user when they’ve finished using the computer for the day: Leave it on, put it to sleep or turn it off. Want to know which one to choose? Read on. DO I NEED TO SHUT DOWN MY MAC OR MACBOOK? Over time, processes and…

Turkey’s presidential election is going to a runoff after Recep Tayyip Erdoğan comfortably outperformed his chief rival, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, but just failed to clear the 50% vote threshold needed to avoid a second round. The 69-year-old conservative incumbent confounded pollsters’ predictions and his more liberally inclined rival to win the first round of the country’s pivotal election, scoring 49.51% against Kılıçdaroğlu’s 44.88%, with a small number of overseas votes left to count. The runoff will take place on 28 May. Polls and observers had predicted an advantage if not an outright victory for Kılıçdaroğlu, 74, but the final results from last Sunday’s election made clear that Erdoğan had defied expectations, seizing a majority – along with his nationalist coalition partners – in parliament and forcing a second-round vote in the presidential…

While hugely popularised, there is a magic and mystery surrounding our horoscopes and the way we identify with our sun sign, often providing a gateway into deeper astrological and personal inquiry. As the center of the universe, the Sun is our eternal life force, the bringer of light and warmth. In astrology, the Sun plays a similar role. As one of the most important features of your birth chart, it is the source of infinite wisdom and intelligence. It shows the persona and the personality, all in one. Your sun demonstrates how you light up life and describes the archetypal ways you are seen by others. This is one of the reasons why many of us can relate to our sun signs or we can easily see the attributes of the signs…

Found at the same location it opened at in 2006, The Engine Room is a much-loved dining spot for Aucklanders – and from the outset, owners Carl Koppenhagen and Natalia Schamroth knew the vision they wanted to fulfill. “We felt like there was a real gap in the market,” says Natalia. “We’d loved all the Sydney bistros and there just wasn’t anything like that here 17 years ago. We wanted to create a space with the kind of food we like cooking and eating, and the kind of place that we like going on our days off.” Inside the converted old post office – which was renovated nine years ago by acclaimed architecture firm, Fearon Hay – The Engine Room is a bustling bistro with plenty of locals that have been visiting…

What’s in your bag? It’s the question behind Vogue’s serial interrogation of identity and celebrity through the everyday stuff it totes around. Today, it targets Melbourne’s Amanda Briskin-Rettig, design-founder of stealth accessories label A-esque, who blind stitches life’s learnings and loves into handcrafted carryalls with a cryptic name. “It means in the manner of ‘A’ — the letter attaching to the most memorable experiences and moments in life; the things that last,” elucidates Briskin-Rettig of her brand’s best-in-class inference as she drops a deep pillowy leather pouch coloured “elephant” on a marble-topped Knoll table in her kitchen. The space is a dazzling contra-post of contemporary art, commercial-grade cooking equipment and large-format florid Italian tiles. There are views to graphically bold garden and white Finnish Vitsoe shelving, displaying objects “merchandised” by Briskin-Rettig…

What happened in the vote? Parliamentary and presidential elections took place in Turkey last Sunday. In the 600-seat parliament, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Justice and Development party (AKP) lost about 28 seats – its worst result in 20 years – but could still form a majority with the support of three other parties. In the presidential vote, Turkey’s Supreme Election Council had Erdoğan on 49.49% and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu on 44.79%. A third candidate, the ultranationalist Sinan Oğan, took 5% that appears to have kept Kılıçdaroğlu or Erdoğan from getting over the 50% line. Voting day was characterised by controversy over different figures being released by two leading news agencies, and efforts by both sides to frame those figures to their advantage. Because the AKP contested every ballot box won by the opposition, those numbers…
