How to Wear This Belly Ring

Same but different! Reverse belly rings suit all piercing styles, top or bottom. When worn on an upper piercing the jewels fall neatly over the top of the navel cavity. When worn on a bottom piercing, the dangles and featured pendants sit free from the upper belly bar.

  • Step 1: Use a disinfectant hand soap to wash your hands, your navel piercing, and your belly ring.
  • Step 2: Simply unscrew the bottom ball of your belly ring and insert into your belly piercing through the piercing at the top moving downwards. Take care not to graze or poke your piercing, take your time to ensure the belly ring gently moves through the piercing until you see it surface at the bottom of your belly button.
  • Step 3: Screw on the bottom ball, to prevent losing your ball, ensure that the ball is reasonably tight however take care not to over tighten as this could make it difficult to loosen when you next remove the navel jewellery.

Flash Tattoo Maintenance and Care: YogaLust by Flash™ Tattoos ... Namaste Babes!

Flash Tattoos can by styled anywhere - feet, arms, back, rib cage, neck, hands, forehead... even nails!

You will be amazed by how quick and easy it is to apply your Flash Tattoo with the help of a little water. You want to make sure your skin is clean, dry and free of any oils or the tattoo will not adhere. If you have lotion or any products on (even from hours earlier), use a little soap and water or a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to clean the area. Cut out the tattoo as close to the edge as possible (this is important later when you need to line it up). Party bundles, personalized, and custom tattoos are pre-cut for easy application, so no cutting necessary. If you are applying a band that will be worn as a bracelet, anklet or arm band, trim the tattoo to size if it needs to be adjusted while the protective liner is still in place. Once it is properly trimmed, remove the clear sheet. For best application, ask a friend to help position your Flash Tattoo so your skin does not twist or stretch. Place the tattoo face down on your skin and hold a wet cloth against it for about 30 seconds. Peel the paper aside then pat gently with the wet cloth. Tada! Be sure not to twist or stretch skin until the tattoo has had time to set (at least 20 minutes). Flash Tattoos look best after they have had an hour or two to set into the skin.

Flash Tattoos are water resistant and with care can last 5 -7 days. Flash Tattoos will hold up through regular bathing/showering provided there is no harsh scrubbing of the area. Harsh or excessive rubbing/scrubbing will remove the tattoo prematurely. Flash Tattoos will usually just wear away after about a week, but if you should need to remove, this can be done using lotion, oil or rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball.

The Challenge

The City of Bunbury has very specific requirements and demands high quality workmanship. Over the past five years Jack in the box has been responsible for a number of such design tasks.

These include:

  • A series of 15 second television commercials for tourism to Bunbury at intra state levels.
  • A brand identity for the City’s joint Waste Management Program.
  • The design and conceptualisation of the City’s 2012 Annual Report.
  • The design and conceptualisation of the City’s 20/30 Strategic Plan.
  • The design and development of a Parking Plan Document (which included special colour coding for those who suffer colour vision impairment).

As with all Local Government jobs, the demand for excellent communication and positioning is of vital importance and Jack in the box prides itself on being able to offer a service which matches the strict brief.

The Solutions

15 Second Television Commercials for Tourism

The initial brief called for an inexpensive series of 15 second commercials which portrayed Bunbury as a thriving city with the ability to provide all the amenities of a short or long stay visitation. The perceptions of Perth people relative to Bunbury had been surveyed and the finding indicated a view of Bunbury which was outdated and misleading.

The concept Jack in the box utilised was to showcase the various quality possibilities that a stay in Bunbury could offer. Featuring a range of venues that demonstrated a vibrant, modern city surrounded by quality attractions, the commercials were tagged based on changing the expectations – ‘More than you Expect’.

Jack in the box, scripted, filmed, edited and directed all five Television Commercials.

Brand Identity – Waste Management Program

This brief called for a brand identity which would represent the use of a three bin service for the collection of household refuse. Previously a two bin service had existed with general refuse (Green Bin) and recyclables (Yellow Bin) being separated by the householder. The new concept was based on the collection of organic waste in a newly introduced lime green bin which would be collected on a weekly basis. The traditional dark green bins would be adorned with a new red lid and collected on a fortnightly basis with all non-organic waste. A further request was to ensure the brand clearly depicted the actual function of the bins to help educate and create high memorability.

The concept Jack in the box utilised is reflected in the brand’s rationale:

“The brand mark is a pictorial representation of the process for the new waste initiative. Clear icons are used to easily identify the three areas of waste in the scheme. The style is designed to become iconic in the way the ‘Do the right thing’ and recycle marks have become. The form of the logotype is round and flowing to portray an organic/environmental feel.

The shape evokes a sense of recycling (two of the three bins being environmentally positive). At the same time the shape has a fun, friendly and relaxed feel, qualities important in getting people on board, especially in educating children. The typeface treatment once again is designed in an engaging fun way, important in achieving an initiative that is seen as easy and positive for everyone in the community in which to participate and not a bureaucratic directive of local government.

The colour pallet utilises the strong colour of the bins as the dominant visual identifier. Less vibrant, more earthy colours are used as a supportive secondary pallet.”

Design of the Bunbury City Annual Report 2012 & the City’s 20/30 Strategic Plan

As with most Annual Reports and Strategic Documents the challenge to make them interesting and prestigious is part of the designer’s major influences. In these briefs the requirements were no less problematic and Jack in the box were asked to ensure both documents were graphically depicted to position the City as a modern, dynamic body, whose efforts could be fully appreciated.

Both concepts are best illustrated by the photography shown here. Sleek and modern pagination is accompanied by the use of etched photography and technical charts. Large photo collages with well designed typography are a feature of both publications and influenced the delivery of the content in both relevancy and interest.

The creation of documents such as these demand the talent and skill of an experienced designer and the eventual outcome is severely impacted by the crafting of the layout and typography.

Design of Parking Plan (including colour coding for colour vision impairment)

The brief required us to communicate a new parking regime in the City of Bunbury, through an easy to read brochure which would assist residents and visitors to park without violation and to understand the timing associated with the spaces available. As a unique feature Jack in the box were asked to include the use of symbols and colour codes which would cater for those with colour impairments in their sight.

The final concept met all specifications and what resulted was a parking plan and a separate brochure for City workers. The guides were scientifically tuned to ensure the person with a colour impairment could interpret the map easily and for those whose sight is healthy, the completed document is easy on the eye as well as being practical and easy to understand.

Jo from Reloved by JoGuest blog by Jo of Reloved by Jo

In your holiday home do you have furniture that isn’t to your taste or simply doesn’t go with your decor scheme?

Initially you may think about getting rid, however don’t be too hasty, if it’s good quality furniture why not think about up-cycling it?

It’s cheaper to up-cycle than buy new.  Also older furniture is generally made better and has so much more charm.

The piece of furniture doesn’t have to be anything special as long as the quality is there. I have up-cycled so much pine furniture which started out as quite boring and very orange and made a massive difference to the overall look of a room or cottage.

If you are furnishing your holiday home from scratch, spend your main budget on good quality beds, sofas and flooring that will last.  And source second-hand furniture from auctions, charity shops and Ebay, etc. with a view to having it up-cycled or restored if necessary. Here, my client had bought a new sofa.  I then up-cycled and painted the coffee table and a nest of table in various shades of grey to fit with the scheme.

upcycle your holiday cottage furniture
You may quite like the idea of donning your overalls and up-cycling some pieces yourself?  If so, make sure you prep well so that your finish is good and stands up to the general wear and tear of a holiday cottage. Your guests may not look after your favourite pieces as you would so be sure to finish with a good quality varnish or wax.  Products have improved so much over recent years.

I often use a ‘dead flat matt’ varnish which is fantastic, especially when used over chalk paint. Here, I’ve used a wax over the top of a dark grey chalk paint on the shelves. I also included wax within the white wash on the table for resistance.

upcycling for holiday cottages chalk paint
Reloved furniture is individual, no two pieces will be the same unless you want them to be. You can mix your own paints and choose new handles and knobs. It’ll also give you a huge sense of satisfaction to give an old piece of furniture new life. If you need a little more encouragement, read these reasons to up-cycle your holiday cottage furniture:

• Go green – your guests will appreciate you doing your bit to save the planet!

• Keep old quality over new, modern furniture not made so well.

• Add character and charm to your property.

• Save money and up-cycle pieces yourself.

• Be unique! Use bright funky colours or keep it neutral, there are no rules.

• Mix painted furniture with natural wooden pieces and give your holiday home its’ own style. Make your holiday home stand out.

• If your holiday home is by the sea you can incorporate white-washed furniture into your scheme. It’s easy and cheap to do.

I have a small workshop at home although when I’m working on holiday homes I tend to work onsite. Once the decorators have finished I move in so I can get a feel for the new scheme. This helps when choosing colours and finishes. It’s pretty full on but I can get a lot done in a few days. And I get to stay in some lovely places, working in treats like walking on the beach and eating fish suppers in local restaurants!

Good luck and happy painting!

Accused in killing of Triston Reece makes brief court appearance

Kaz Henry Cox, 40, is taken in to provincial court Monday, Nov. 18, 2019. Cox is accused of killing Triston Reece in July this year.
Kaz Henry Cox, 40, is taken in to provincial court Monday, Nov. 18, 2019. Cox is accused of killing Triston Reece in July. - Eric Wynne

A Halifax man charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Triston Reece this summer made a brief court appearance Thursday with his lawyers.

Kaz Henry Cox, 41, smiled at five supporters in the public gallery after he was escorted into Halifax provincial court and later gave them a thumbs-up.

Cox was arrested at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Dartmouth on Nov. 15 and first appeared in court three days later.

On Thursday, Bridgewater lawyer David Hirtle informed the court that he and Alex MacKillop of Halifax have been retained by Cox.

Hirtle asked that the case return to court in two weeks to ensure the evidence is disclosed to the defence in a timely fashion.

“Disclosure has been requested,” Hirtle said. “I understand and anticipate it will be voluminous, but I just want to keep my finger on the pulse of moving this matter forward so we can get the disclosure as much as possible before the Christmas holidays.”

Hirtle said the defence lawyers won’t be in a position to schedule a preliminary inquiry until they review the disclosure and identify the issues on which they want to hear evidence.

That caused Judge Amy Sakalauskas to question the utility of coming back to court so soon.

“I don’t need my friend’s finger on my pulse ... to make sure he gets disclosure in a timely manner,” Crown attorney Rick Woodburn told the judge.

“I can say that the police have turned over a hard drive and we’ll make sure it’s vetted properly and my friend will get it in due course.”

The judge scheduled the case to return to court Jan. 21 for the purpose of setting dates for a preliminary inquiry.

Cox will remain in custody. If he wants bail, he will have to make an application in Nova Scotia Supreme Court.

Reece, 19, was shot on Scot Street in Halifax on the night of July 26 and died at hospital shortly after midnight.

In a Nov. 15 news release announcing the charge against Cox, Halifax Regional Police said investigators believe additional people have information about the homicide.

“They ask anyone who has not already spoken with police to do the right thing and come forward with what they know,” police said in the release.

Reece’s mother, Dale Russell, attended Thursday’s proceeding with about 15 relatives and friends. They filled the first two rows of the gallery.

Best Spa

Gold Winner Spirit Spa

Silver Winner Remedy Facial Bar & Spa

Bronze Winner Summit Day Spa

Spirit Spa does a lot of things well, which means having a lot of top-notch people on staff. Spirit’s Nathan Wessel won silver this year as Best Massage Therapist. The hair team took silver for Best Hair Salon, the nail team silver for Best Manicure/pedicure, not to mention gold for Best Spa. Spirit owner Linda Brigley obviously has an eye for talent, but she makes her hiring technique sound simple. “How they interact with clients tells everything,” she says of new staffers. “Our customer is king.” Four years ago, Spirit moved to the corner of Salter and Hollis Streets, attached to one hotel, across the street from another. “We’re surrounded by hotels,” says Brigley, “and it’s awesome to provide services to about-of-town guests. But we’re here for the locals.” The main benefit of those hotels is that Brigley’s customers are now building staycations around Spirit, with a spa day followed by dinner downtown and a night in a hotel. Ready for yours? Perfect for a birthday, anniversary or any time you just want to be treated like royalty.

Video: Danny Pudi and Alison Brie talk season 4 of ‘Community’

The cast of Community

Community fans have one mantra when it comes to their favorite show: “Six seasons and a movie!” That tagline has been tweeted, blogged and yelled almost constantly since fans claimed it as their own to pay tribute to Community, one of the most tongue-in-cheek comedies on television that also has some of the most fervent fans around.

Now in its fourth season, Community‘s charm comes from the fact that it’s clever, smart, and fresh, but also because it’s entirely off-beat, thanks largely to creator and former showrunner Dan Harmon. While Harmon may not be with the show any more, Community is still very much his show, but the series would also be nothing without its nine key stars, which includes Danny Pudi as Abed and Alison Brie as Annie.

During a visit to Toronto last week, Pudi and Brie sat down for interviews about the latest season of Community, and it became instantly obvious during my chat with them that the cast’s antics on screen may not be all that different from the antics off the screen. Pudi and Brie burst into song, old routines, and in-jokes while they also talked about their experiences on set, how the series has changed, and some of what fans can expect throughout the rest of the season.

As a fan of Community, it was a lot of fun chatting with the two stars, and I can safely say that it was also one of the zaniest interviews I’ve ever had.

Community airs Thursdays at 8:00 PM (ET/PT) on City.

• Trips Done

  • Youth treks or treks for students

    A student trek or a youth trek is perfect for young adventurers who are bursting with energy and seeking fun activities in the great outdoors. These youth treks offer a variety of adventures, from rafting to zip-lining, as well as some that focus on a specific activity like trekking. The schedule is planned to allow travellers some quiet time as well, where they can go fishing, bird watching, camping, and kayaking.

    Youth treks: Planned for youngsters

    All student treks are designed to provide young travellers with a structured outdoors experience that introduces them to adventure.

    Safe and fun

    A student trek is only for youngsters, so they’ll only be travelling with others of the same age. This allows them to set the pace of the trip and enjoy a highly active, noisy experience. It is tailor-made to entertain them with activities that balance adventure and fun.

    Youth treks are specially planned to keep in mind the budget of a student and are therefore very easy on the pocket.

    Young, motivational team

    Every youth trip is run by instructors who are young, peppy, and experienced at handling a group of young teens. These trip leaders will guide the team through a variety of activities like trekking, rafting, rope and rock activities.

    A range of experiences

    Every day on a student trek will present opportunities to see new places, meet new people, be exposed to new cultures and try different food etc. This adventure experience promises to widen horizons, teach new life skills, and show teens what life is like outside their comfort zone.

    Teaching life skills

    Youth treks are curated to give youngsters a fun, active holiday in the outdoors, but to teach them too. They’ll come back from a trip like this with new confidence and independence. A trek like this will teach teamwork when it comes to pitching a tent, endurance building while walking through snow, and self-reliance while trying to complete a trek or handle a raft.

    Teaching environmental responsibility

    These student treks inculcate a love of nature and wildlife and teach students how to to be ecologically sensitive.

    College is a special time when life is relatively relaxed and youngsters have the luxury of a few more years before they have jobs and deadlines. Why not make the best of this time to go out on a thrilling adventure?

Angry Tory MPs reject Joe Biden's comments on UK-EU Brexit talks

Trade deal with US not possible if UK undermines Good Friday agreement, Democrats say

Conservative MPs have reacted angrily to an intervention by Joe Biden, the US Democratic presidential candidate, in the UK Brexit talks, accusing him of ignorance of the Northern Ireland peace process.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Biden warned the UK there would be no US-UK free trade agreement if the Brexit talks ended with the Good Friday agreement being undermined. He tweeted: “We can’t allow the Good Friday agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland to become a casualty of Brexit.

“Any trade deal between the US and UK must be contingent upon respect for the agreement and preventing the return of a hard border. Period.”

His intervention was welcomed by Richard Neal, the chairman of Congress’s ways and means committee.

The backlash was led by the former cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith, who told the Times: “We don’t need lectures on the Northern Ireland peace deal from Mr Biden. If I were him I would worry more about the need for a peace deal in the US to stop the killing and rioting before lecturing other sovereign nations.”

Donald Trump has made law and order a key theme of his re-election campaign after months of unrest triggered by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May.

David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, said: “Perhaps Mr Biden should talk to the EU since the only threat of an invisible border in Ireland would be if they insisted on levying tariffs.”

Biden spoke out after the UK foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, met the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, in Washington in a bid to reassure her that the British government was not seeking a hard border on the island of Ireland via measures in its internal market bill, a move that is seen by the US pro-Irish lobby as potentially fatal to the peace process.

What is the UK internal market bill?

The internal market bill aims to enforce compatible rules and regulations regarding trade in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Some rules, for example around food safety or air quality,  which were formerly set by EU agreements, will now be controlled by the devolved administrations or Westminster. The internal market bill insists that devolved administrations  have to accept goods and services from all the nations of the UK – even if their standards differ locally.

This, says the government, is in part to ensure international traders have access to the UK as a whole, confident that standards and rules are consistent.

The Scottish government has criticised it as a Westminster "power grab", and the Welsh government has expressed fears it will lead to a race to the bottom. If one of the countries that makes up the UK lowers their standards, over the importation of chlorinated chicken, for example, the other three nations will have to accept chlorinated chicken too.

It has become even more controversial because one of its main aims is to empower ministers to pass regulations even if they are contrary to the withdrawal agreement reached with the EU under the Northern Ireland protocol.

The text does not disguise its intention, stating that powers contained in the bill “have effect notwithstanding any relevant international or domestic law with which they may be incompatible or inconsistent".

The bill passed its first hurdle in parliament by 77 votes, despite a rebellion by some Tory MPs.

Martin Belam and Owen Bowcott

Raab has argued that the measures in the UK internal market bill are proportionate, precautionary and necessary due to the EU’s politicising of the stuttering talks on a trade deal between the UK and the EU.

However, the EU hit back on Thursday, saying an agreement on a trade and security deal remained conditional on the government pulling the contentious clauses in the internal market bill.

The European commission’s vice-president for the economy, Valdis Dombrovskis, said: “If the UK does not comply with the exit agreement, there will no longer be a basis for a free trade agreement between the EU and the UK. The UK government must correct this before we continue to negotiate our political and economic relations.”

The dispute between Biden and Downing Street poses a broader threat to UK interests if Biden, a pro-EU and pro-Ireland politician, decides to turn against Boris Johnson, who has made a virtue of his close relations with the Trump administration.

The former UK trade minister Conor Burns tweeted: “Hey JoeBiden would you like to discuss the Good Friday agreement? It is also called the Belfast agreement so it doesn’t offend both traditions. Did you actually know that? I was born in NI and I’m a Catholic and a Unionist. Here if you need help.”

The Conservative MP for Beaconsfield, Joy Morrissey, replied that “Biden is shamelessly pandering to the American Irish vote while refusing to engage with the UK government or UK diplomatic channels. Nice.”

She later deleted her tweet, but added: “Clearly it’s all about the Irish American vote.”

Burns added: “The error those of us who supported Brexit was to assume the EU would behave rationally in seeking a free trade agreement with a large trading partner like the UK..”

Alexander Stafford, the Conservative MP for Rother Valley, tweeted: “Is this the same JoeBiden who once described Britain’s position in Northern Ireland as ‘absolutely outrageous’. And who hit the headlines in the 1980s for his stand against the deportation of IRA suspects from the US to Britain?”

John Redwood, a leading Brexiter, said: “Trade deals are nice to have but not essential. We did not have a trade deal with the US when we were in the EU. Getting back full control of our laws, our money and our borders is essential.”

Theresa May’s former chief of staff Nick Timothy rejected the frenzy, dismissing “the sudden discovery that Democrats don’t like Brexit and prefer the Irish”.

Other Tory MPs including Stewart Jackson tweeted articles claiming that two of the representatives criticising the UK over the Good Friday agreement were overt IRA sympathisers, and a third was a supporter of Martin McGuinness, the now deceased former deputy first minister for Northern Ireland.

The shadow foreign secretary, Lisa Nandy, said: “This shows the scale of the damage the government have done to Britain’s standing in the world. They’ve lost trust and undermined cooperation at the moment we most need it – and all to tear up an agreement they negotiated. Reckless, incompetent and utterly self-defeating.”

Daniel Mulhall, the Irish ambassador to the US, has been working the corridors in Washington for the past fortnight, lobbying to lessen the threat the Irish perceive to the Good Friday agreement posed by the British proposals. He has been tweeting his gratitude to those representatives issuing support for the Good Friday agreement.

No free trade deal between the UK and the US can be agreed unless it is supported by two-thirds of Congress.

In a sign of Trump administration concern about the row, Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s former acting chief of staff, will shortly make his first trip to the the UK in his new role as the US special envoy for Northern Ireland.

The Foreign Office, criticised by some for failing to anticipate the likely US backlash, will argue Raab’s visit to Washington may have drawn a predictable reaction from some corners, but was necessary to reassure and counter Irish propaganda.

But UK diplomats will be anxious that the UK is not seen to adopt a partisan stance in the US elections, especially since Biden currently holds a fragile poll lead.

New Srixon Golf Shoes by ASICS

Several months ago, it was announced that Srixon had a new partnership coming with ASICS. The footwear enthusiasts have been waiting patiently and today two new models from Srixon/Cleveland/XXIO are being released. Welcome the GEL-COURSE Glide and GEL-COURSE Duo BOA.

“I’m excited to introduce ASICS golf footwear into the U.S. golf market with the GEL-COURSE GlideTM and GEL COURSE Duo BOA models,” said Mike Powell, President of Sales and Marketing at Srixon/Cleveland Golf/XXIO. “ASICS is a huge global sports brand and widely recognized as the leader in performance footwear. They have a rich heritage of innovation and product quality, and align with our values as a company. These two models will appeal to golfers that enjoy an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle and love the performance and comfort that ASICS is famous for.”

The popular running shoes that are known for comfort laid the ground work to deliver stand out performance. Our early testing both on course and range has shown that despite the athletic look, fantastic stability and traction.

The GEL-COURSE DUO BOA model features the lacing system for precision and quickness. The ability to adjust with a quick turn dial makes them a natural for those that don’t want to bother with laces. Turn the BOA knob to tighten and to “untie” it is a quick pull out. Adding to the features is waterproofing and comfort foam insoles that really feel fantastic. If you enjoy the fit of their running shoes, these should be high on your list. The sole has an aggressive grip pattern that you would normally see on a spikeless shoe. The GEL-COURSE DUO BOA however still features 7 spikes on them to offer tremendous traction.

Which leads into a great segue right into the GEL-COURSE Glide golf shoe. The same Ortholite foam that makes the comfort stand out is in place. The biggest difference being the waterproofing and of course, that this is a spikeless golf shoe. With that said, the sole still features an aggressive pattern that really offers outstanding traction in its class.

Finally, we want to touch on fit and sizing. For those that wear or have worn ASICS running shoes, the fit and sizing is identical. For those that don’t, true to size in length and an enveloping feel around the toe bed. Heel support here might be best in class and so far, we are impressed with the initial offering from this partnership and look forward to more.

Color Options
The GEL-COURSE DUO BOA has three different color combinations. Black/Gunmetal, White/Peacoat, and Peacoat/Pure Silver.

The Men’s GEL-COURSE Glide shoes come in four different color combinations: Black/Silver, White/Polar Shade, Polar Shade/Black, and ASICS Blue/White. The Women’s Gel Course Glide shoes come in two different color options: Metropolis/White and Orchid/White.

The Details
In Stores: Today
Cost: $179 for GEL-COURSE DUO BOA and $129 for GEL-COURSE Glide

Strong Black Friday lifts November’s retail sales growth into positive territory

Black Friday
Shoppers on Black Friday in Leeds, Yorkshire.

Shoppers appeared temporarily to brush Brexit concerns to one side in November as the focus shifted to finding Christmas bargains, lifting November’s retail sales growth into positive territory.

The British Retail Consortium (BRC)-KPMG retail sales monitor said growth appeared stronger than in previous months amid signs that consumers have put concerns about political uncertainty aside for now to concentrate on the festive season.

Total retail sales were down by -4.4% year-on-year between 27 October and 23 November, according to the retail sales monitor.

But the report said this figure was distorted by the late timing of Black Friday this year.

When figures were adjusted to take account of this year’s Black Friday having fallen on 29 November, UK retail sales actually increased +0.9% on a total basis, and were up by +0.4% on a like-for-like basis, the index found.

The adjustments were made by excluding Black Friday week from the 2018 comparison.

Helen Dickinson, chief executive, British Retail Consortium, said: “Once the figures are adjusted to take account of the timing of Black Friday, growth appears stronger in November than in previous months.

“Shoppers appeared ready to take advantage of the great bargains available, both online and on the high street.

Electronics and clothes both benefited from big discounts, with the recent cold snap adding further urgency to purchases of winter-wear.

“Furthermore, as the spectre of a no-deal Brexit has been pushed back to after Christmas, consumers were more prepared to open their wallets to do a little extra festive spending.”

She said the next government must be ready to “hit the ground running” on 13 December.

Dickinson said: “If the next Government wishes to see retail spending remain healthy in 2020 it is essential they clarify our future relationship with the EU as soon as possible.”

Paul Martin, UK head of retail, KPMG, said: “At first glance, November’s decline in like-for-like retail sales of -4.9% will leave retailers reaching for the smelling salts, but context is key.

“If adjusted for the later timing of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, sales are more likely to have increased by a more palatable +0.4% like-for-like.

“Over the course of November, consumers will have held off making purchases in anticipation of discounts to come, despite many retailers spreading out promotions across several days, if not weeks.

“That said, consumers will also have put Brexit and political uncertainty to one side temporarily, focusing on promotions and the upcoming festivities instead.

The findings were released as a separate report from Barclaycard, which sees nearly half of the nation’s credit and debit card transactions, indicated shoppers are keen to seek out a good deal this Christmas.

Barclaycard said spending on non-essentials was up +1.3% annually.

Spending in discount stores was up by +6.9% annually – but department stores saw a sharp -5.9% spending fall, it said.

Many people also cosied up with their favourite TV shows as temperatures fell.

Barclaycard said that digital content and subscriptions continued to show strong growth, up by 14.6% – which it said is a marker of the growing popularity of services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Esme Harwood, director at Barclaycard, said: “Throughout 2019 we have seen the nation managing their budgets by seeking greater value for money, and this trend looks set to continue in December.

“As we head into the busy shopping season, retailers will no doubt be crossing their fingers for consumer confidence to rise enough to deliver some Christmas cheer.”

Was it financial “impropriety”?

Share Button

Previously convicted molester Father George Smith had a court date in Stephenville, Newfoundland this morning:

17 July 2017:  09:30 am, “Adjourned for Election and/or Plea,”  Stephenville Newfoundland courthouse

If anyone has nes regarding the outcome please pass it along.

As always, please keep the complainant in your prayers.

Yes, I will be making a few comments regarding the 13 July 2017 closing arguments at the Father Denis Vaillancourt sex assault trial.  I hadn’t realized how much catch-up I had to do on emails, and had completely forgotten that we had headed off to Alabama without cleaning up and planting our garden, 🙁  All the flats of bedding plants were neatly lined up in the corner of the garden!  I knew they wouldn;t last so, just before our departure,  told a neighbour to take them (I’d rather than than see them shrivel up and go to waste)

So, garden clean up has been more or less accomplished and I am heading off now, hoping to pick up some bedding plants.  It’s a clear sunny day so am hoping to get those purchased and planted before another downpour!

Please note the following information posted on the Father Fred Olds thread.  Note that according to Archbishop LeGatt Father Olds does not have permission to engage in public ministry of any kind and is permitted only to ‘say Mass” in his residence, in other words, he can not ‘say’/offer u a public Mass.

It is unknown if the impropriety which prompted the preliminary enquiry relates to the $4000,000 which was stolen from St. Bernadette’s.

There are more bits and pieces of information to post.  Right now I must head off to see if at this late time of the year I can find some bedding plants 🙂

Enough for now,

Joseph Conrad: The Rover

This was Conrad’s last novel and it reads like a novel of old age. It was intended to be a short story but expanded into a novel. It is the story of Jean Peyrol, an old and weary French sailor, who has retired to a farm near Toulon. The farm is owned by Arlette, a beautiful young woman whose parents were killed in the Reign of Terror. Both – he because he is old and tired, she because of the death of her parents – shun society. But Peyrol is called on to make one more effort to help his country before he can rest. Napoleon has come to power and Réal, a young navy lieutenant, comes to the farm to carry out a mission against the English fleet in the Mediterranean. Arlette falls in love with him but Peyrol is dragged into the lieutenant’s activities. Peyrol, with some help, from Arlette steps into the breach when Réal is injured.

This is Conrad’s final novel and not one of his best. It had some success with the public as it is a rollicking, though anti-English, tale. It still has some of Conrad’s favourite themes, not least that of responsibility and honour but it still reads a bit too much like Hornblower to me.

Abu Dhabi, UAESunday 27 September 2020

France turns high-speed trains into hospitals on wheels

The clinics on rails are moving patients from areas where hospitals are overwhelmed to areas with capacity to treat the sick

The high-speed train whooshing past historic First World War battle zones and through the chateau-speckled Loire Valley carried a delicate cargo: 20 critically ill Covid-19 patients and the machines helping keep them alive.

The TGV-turned-mobile-intensive-care-unit is only one piece of France’s nationwide mobilisation of trains, helicopters, jets and even a warship to relieve congested hospitals and shuffle hundreds of patients and hundreds more medical personnel in and out of coronavirus hotspots.

“We are at war,” President Emmanuel Macron tells his compatriots, again and again, casting himself as a warrior and harnessing the might of the armed forces to fight this invisible foe.

But while the extraordinary mobilisation seems to be helping, critics charge the 42-year-old leader waited far too long to act in the first place. France, one of the world’s wealthiest countries with one of the best healthcare systems, they say, should never have found itself so deep in crisis.

Mr Macron had just emerged from weeks of damaging retirement strikes and a year of violent “yellow vest” protests over economic injustice when the pandemic hit. Now, he is struggling to keep the house running in one of the world’s hardest-hit countries.

The Rungis food market south of Paris, Europe’s biggest, is transforming into a morgue as France’s death count races past 8,000.

Nearly 7,000 patients are in intensive care, pushing French hospitals to their limit and beyond. Doctors are rationing painkillers and re-using masks.

France’s centralised state and powerful presidency make it easier to co-ordinate the patient-moving efforts, which have crisscrossed the country and even extended to overseas territories. And nearly three weeks of confinement are starting to bear fruit: France reported its lowest number of deaths on Sunday in a week, and a slowing growth in infections.

But the pandemic has exposed weaknesses in the world-renowned state hospital system after decades of cost cuts. When the president visited a Paris hospital on the front lines of the virus battle, an angry neurologist challenged him to reinvest massively.

“When it was about saving Notre Dame, many were moved,” Dr Francois Salachas said, a reference to the Paris cathedral that was severely damaged by fire a year ago, prompting immediate, massive pledges of public and private funds for reconstruction. “This time it’s about saving public hospitals, which are going up in smoke at the same speed as Notre Dame almost did.”

Many think Mr Macron did not anticipate the severity with which the virus could hit and set a bad personal example. Similar criticisms have been levelled at other world leaders including the presidents of Mexico, Brazil and the United States.

In February, Mr Macron made a point of repeatedly kissing Italy’s premier on a visit to Naples to show there was nothing to fear. At the time, the virus was already spreading fast across France, but limited testing meant health authorities didn’t yet know.

In early March, he toured a retirement home even as he announced that families should no longer visit elderly relatives. That same day he went with his wife to a Paris theatre where the owner tweeted that the president wanted to show that “life goes on”. By then, the official virus infection numbers in France were doubling every two days.

In mid-March, as Covid-19 was ravaging neighbouring Italy, France went ahead with the first round of nationwide municipal elections. First lady Brigitte Macron strolled the banks of the Seine, crowded with Parisians enjoying a sunny day despite recommendations of social distancing.

Then, on March 16, Mr Macron abruptly changed his tune, declaring war on the virus and announcing nationwide confinement measures. A week later, he appeared wearing a face mask for the first time at a field hospital set up by troops outside Mulhouse, the eastern city that saw an eruption of cases stemming from a five-day evangelical gathering.

The armed forces took on a crucial role, as military and hospital authorities worked out the system to shuttle patients to less-strained hospitals and medics to virus zones in need.

The first “medicalised” TGV made its inaugural trip on March 26. Doctors in protective gear pushed gurneys along the nearly empty platform of the train station in the eastern city of Strasbourg as safety warnings echoed from loudspeakers. Inside the double-decker cars, patients and webs of tubes and wires were squeezed past luggage racks and rows of seats. Once they were secured, the train sped off towards less-affected hospitals in the west.

While the militarised mobilisations are popular, public debate has mushroomed over the relatively low numbers of people being tested for the virus in France and shortages of medical equipment. Mr Macron ordered all face masks requisitioned for medical personnel after it became evident France entered the crisis well short of the necessary supply.

“The question of masks is now the priority question for the French,” said Jean-Daniel Levy of polling agency Harris Interactive. He said the public feels the government “didn’t take enough responsibility” for masks at the outset.

France has had to send some patients for treatment to tiny neighbouring Luxembourg, as well as Switzerland and Germany, which has conducted massive nationwide testing and confirmed more cases than France while recording a death toll about one-fifth as high so far.

Mr Macron, a centrist, has taken fire from both ends of the political spectrum.

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen told France 2 television that “the government lied about the preparedness of the country”, while far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon said Mr Macron, a former investment banker, “used to think that the free market would meet the country’s needs, so his mental framework collapsed”.

Among the broader public, Mr Macron “is seen as relatively authoritarian”, Mr Levy said. That hurt him during the protest movements, but helps his popularity now because “we want to have a strong authority figure” to manage the crisis.

In the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, a fact-finding mission is scrutinising the government’s handling of the emergency.

Mr Macron said while visiting a mask manufacturing company that it’s not yet time to focus on what went wrong.

“When we’re fighting a battle, we must all be united to win it,” the president said. “And I think those who seek to send people to trial when we have not yet won the war are irresponsible.”

Gateshead strengthen midfield with Birmingham City youngster Maxwell

By Matt Bishop

Gateshead have completed the signing of Birmingham City youngster Luke Maxwell on a three-month loan deal.

The combative 20-year-old began his career with local side Kidderminster Harriers, where he scored twice in 45 National League appearances before earning his Championship move in 2016.

With the Blues, Maxwell has become a regular in the club’s promising under-23 side, and he also has valuable EFL experience after spending time on loan at Grimsby last term.

He impressed with the Mariners, but injury curtailed his spell and he made just four appearances for the League Two club.

Maxwell will be hoping for a more fruitful time with the Heed, and he could make his debut as soon as tomorrow as Gateshead prepare to host Aldershot.

Sat just two points outside the play-offs, Gateshead will look to build on an encouraging draw with Sutton and a thrilling win against Chester when they play the Shots.

Meanwhile, Gary Waddock’s side will be hoping they can continue their away form, after ending Ebbsfleet’s stunning unbeaten run, when they travel to the International Stadium.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) -- Police say Motherwell striker Michael Higdon has been arrested in connection with an alleged assault at a Glasgow nightclub, just hours after receiving Scottish football's Player of the Year award.

When contacted about the alleged incident involving Higdon, Police Scotland said Monday that a "29-year-old man is the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with an alleged assault at a nightclub in Ingram Street in Glasgow."

The procurator fiscal is Scotland's public prosecutor.

Higdon, who is from Liverpool, was handed the prestigious award at a ceremony in Glasgow on Sunday after scoring a Scottish Premier League-high 26 goals for Motherwell this season. Higdon was scheduled for a news conference on Monday but the event was postponed.

Canned pumpkin (Recipe: pumpkin pie)

On the downside, you can't carve a canned pumpkin into a jack-o'-lantern.

On the upside, you can make a pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread or pumpkin ravioli in no time.

Case closed, because there's no better reason for having canned pumpkin puree in The Perfect Pantry.

Most of the time, I advocate for fresh fruits and vegetables, but there are instances when frozen or canned are, if not superior, then equal to fresh. Pumpkin (botanically a fruit, though it's used as a vegetable) is one of those products.

First, canned pumpkin puree is convenient; taking a fresh pumpkin to the puree stage is a time-consuming process of peeling, chopping, roasting and mashing. Second, canned pumpkin (which, by the way, is often butternut squash, so be sure to read the label carefully) yields a product that is more consistent in texture, with a more concentrated flavor.

Pumpkin is naturally good for you. It's low in fat and incredibly high in beta-carotene, which our bodies convert to Vitamin A. Don't mistake canned pumpkin pie mix for pure pumpkin puree, though the packaging often looks similar. Pie mix contains spices and sugar; pumpkin puree is 100% pumpkin. Leftover pumpkin can be stored, in a freezer-safe zip-lock bag or plastic container, in the fridge for a week, or in the freezer for several months.

By the way, the world's largest pumpkin pie, a 2020-pound behemoth baked in New Bremen, Ohio, in 2006, contained 900 pounds of canned pumpkin.

Those folks must have some pantry!

Pumpkin pie

A traditional favorite, best served slightly warm with fresh whipped cream. Pillsbury pie crust works just fine here, or make your favorite graham cracker crust. Serves 8.

Basic pastry for single-crust pie, partially baked*
1 15-oz can pumpkin puree
3/4 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1-1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp mace
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp molasses
1-1/4 cup evaporated milk
3 large eggs (room temperature)

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, blend the pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, mace and salt (a wire whisk comes in handy for this). In a separate bowl, combine molasses, evaporated milk and eggs. Pour egg mixture into the pumpkin mixture, and whisk thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the partially baked pie crust, and place on middle rack of the oven. Bake for 1 hour, until the top of the pie looks shiny and a knife inserted into the middle of the pie comes out clean. (If the crust is browning too fast, cover with an aluminum foil "collar.€") Let cool on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature; refrigerate leftovers.

*To partially bake (also called "blind baking") a pie crust: Press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate, and decorate or crimp the edges. There are several ways to keep the crust from shrinking or rising up while it bakes: either line the crust with aluminum foil, and fill with rice or dry beans; or line with foil, and invert the pie crust over another pie plate of the same size (the crust bakes as a "sandwich" between the two pie plates). Bake in a 375°F preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the crust is a light golden color.

i love canned pumpkin. always one for convenience, i've never actually cooked a pumpkin. must try pumpkin pie, so far all i've made is pumpkin french toast.

I am so maleable. Now I crave pumpkin.

Luckily, I keep a can or two of this stuff in my cupboard year round. I get my first cravings in mid-September and it just keeps on until spring.

Sounds strange, but my favourite use for canned pumpkin is pumpkin oatmeal: equal parts rolled oats, milk or soy milk, and pumpkin brought to a boil and simmered - then add pumpkin pie spice (mine has allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, star anise) and sweetener (brown sugar or maple syrup) to taste.

Admittedly, it sounds strange, but it's like pumpkin pie custard for breakfast - delicious hot or cold, and big batches keep well in the fridge!

Stefanie, pumpkin French toast sounds amazing. Do you mix pumpkin in with the egg batter?

Mimi, what do you make with pumpkin when you crave it? Pie? Soup? Cupcakes? I need to start using pumpkin more often, as it's very healthy.

Maria, pumpkin oatmeal actually sounds delicious -- I've never tried anything like it. Thanks for the idea!

People need to read labels carefully too. The Libby brand of canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie filling are very similar.

Also, the pumpkins you carve jack-o-lanterns from are not the same pumpkins you cook with.

I love pumpkin pies and cheesecake but have never made them. This just reminded me to get this on my todo list.

I've always wanted to try pumpkin pie - I've seen it so many times in movies and series!

Tom, you are right, on both points. I think the labels are deliberately misleading, don't you?

Veron, I tried pumpkin cheesecake once, but I'm not a big cheesecake fan. If you find a good recipe, please let me know.

Patricia, do try it, if you can find canned pumpkin in your market.

I've really grown to appreciate how versitle canned pumpkin can be!

Something different: bottled, diced, marinated pumpkin - it was in the market near me, a product from Poland (we've had lots of Polish immigrants in the area lately, and the market has taken to carrying lots of food from there - most of it unfortunately with labels only in Polish, so sometimes you have to experiment a bit).

Anyway, it is very good: the ingredients (this one has English on it) are mostly just pumpkin, vinegar, sugar; it's sort of a sweet marinated version - texture a bit softer than watermelon pickle (it's clearly the flesh, not the rind). Something you could probably make yourself...

Jeff, I agree. I need to learn to use it more -- so I guess I need to learn to bake!

Paul, I'm intrigued. Pumpkin pickles? The vinegar definitely takes it in a different direction. I have a friend who speaks Polish and frequents Boston's couple of Polish markets; I'll ask him if he's seen this, and if he knows how to cook with it. Please let us know what you end up doing with it, and thanks for sharing your market discovery.

Ha! I just ate it all... quite good, as I said. On the side with some millet (cooked with veg bouillon cubes and the usual green herbs) and meatballs.

Sorry, some more details: The pumpkin is named 'Dynia w occie'. The English ingredients are: pumpkin, water, vinegar, sugar, natural spices - drat, the spices are the part you, and I, want to know about most, aren't they? There's probably some cinnamon I think, or is it nutmeg?...

It's good. See if you friend can find you some, you can probably do a much better job than me at identifying the spices.

Canned pumpkin is soooo convenient. I tried this year to use real pumpkin and it was such a hassle. Never again!

Hey thanks for linking to me! I really like the amount of information you give to preface a recipe.

Susan, I love to introduce readers to wonderful recipes I find on blogs like yours!

Will condensed milk work too?

Lucy, condensed milk and evaporated milk aren't the same, so it's best not to substitute.
