Yet, in this quagmire of information, the reconnaissance that can be gathered from checking the colour of a man’s tie is a refreshingly simple guessing game.]]></description>

Last week the Hungarian flag carrier airline, Malév, ceased all operations after 66 years in business. Hungary is in mourning.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You heard it here first. The next big name in African football will be Bruno-Zita Mbanangoye. The Gabonese number 13's spectacular free kick in Tuesday's match against Morocco saw the Panthers through to the last eight. This year's African Cup of Nations has been a dream come true for the European agents who stalk the competition for new talent. The big teams didn't qualify. So the field has been left open for the likes of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.]]></description>

Here, two Monocle minds debate the pros and cons of getting with the program. ]]></description>

His government, overseer of the world's fifth-largest oil producer is fighting a unique war against terror. Yet it does not have the people on its side. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New York is America’s most populous city. This crowded metropolis is home to over 8 million people. And living alongside, underneath and above us are over 40 million examples of the rattus norvegicus. Perhaps more commonly known as the brown rat, the sewer rat or – apologies to some of my Monocle colleagues – the Norwegian rat.   New York City is infested. Everyone has a tale to tell and if you haven’t felt something furry and warm scuttle across your feet on a dark summer night, you’re not a real New Yorker yet. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an era when the concepts of formal and casual are increasingly blurred, with jeans accompanying black tie or trainers accessorising business suits, it might be assumed that dress codes are hopelessly outmoded. A quaint throwback to a more hidebound and divisive age. But recent developments show that they're not only alive and well in some quarters, but they're even being tightened.]]></description>
