The Abu Dhabi-based institution has also achieved the maximum possible rating of five stars in the key categories of teaching, employability, internationalisation, research, online learning, facilities and inclusiveness.

The 46-year-old American is still recovering from injuries following a car crash in February last year. He is yet to make his return to the PGA and has not set a date but last November a social media post of him hitting golf balls under the title “making progress” attracted 7.8 million views. And, he played with his son Charlie at the PNC Championship – a parent-child exhibition event – the following month in December, however he will miss this week’s Players Championship at Sawgrass. The ceremony took place at the PGA Tour headquarters in Florida and Woods broke down in tears when he was inducted. He spoke of the difficulties he faced as a black and Asian golfer and how he was not allowed into the clubhouses at golf clubs. He had to practice alone on improving his game, but clearly, this did not hold him back.

She was praised by many for her fashion sense. However, some people took issue with the outfit. The model and actress hit out at the trolls in a recent interview, calling them hypocritical, because she said they wouldn’t criticise Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez for wearing the same thing. Trolls hide behind their computers and make comments about people they’ve never met, without thinking about the feelings of the person they’re targeting. Celebrities have a right to speak out and defend themselves in these situations.[COMMENT BY: Jennifer Barretto Assistant Editor – Features] Image Credit: ANI
