On many episodes of "Project Runway All Stars" Season 7, which airs its final episode Wednesday on Lifetime, the host and judge Alyssa Milano has announced that the week's winning design will be sold on JCPenney.com the following day.
Except that's not true. Viewers who are looking for a ready-to-wear version of a winning look from "Runway" veterans like Dmitry Sholokhov or Irina Shabayeva are presented with a message on the department store chain's website that the collaboration with J.C. Penney has been discontinued.
"Season 7 of 'Project Runway All Stars' was taped well before our collaboration with the show ended, and we were unaware that the season would begin airing in January 2019," the company said in a statement via email. "Because of this unfortunate turn of events, J.C. Penney no longer had the agreement in place to produce or sell the winning looks." Legally, the company says it couldn't produce the designs.
The back story to J.C. Penney's ghost sponsorship of the season involves the franchise's producers, the Weinstein Company. Under the terms of the branding partnership, which began in the summer of 2017, the retailer would be the exclusive partner for two "Project Runway" seasons and "All Stars" Season 7, selling branded women's clothing and producing versions of designs from winners and challenge episodes.
But after the sexual abuse allegations against Harvey Weinstein were first reported that fall, things became complicated. Weinstein was fired by the board. The company went bankrupt. Lantern Capital Partners bought the Weinstein Company assets last year, and flipped the rights to "Project Runway" to NBCUniversal. At one point, it wasn't clear whether the latest "All-Stars" season would ever air. (It was taped during the summer of 2017.)
Last October, J.C. Penney filed to dissolve the partnership as part of the Weinstein Company's continuing bankruptcy proceedings. (Court documents show that the "Project Runway" producers were guaranteed .8 million a year in royalties in their two year deal with J.C. Penney. So far, they've received .44 million, and Weinstein Company creditors have filed a motion compelling the rest of the payments from the retailer.)
All of this presented a challenge for Lifetime, which has aired the "Project Runway" franchise for the last 10 years. (The series has since moved back to its original network, Bravo.) Through partnerships with brands like Dixie, Campbell Soup Company and the WWE, the show has pushed the boundaries of sponsored content well past the expected makeup, hair and sewing machine plugs, slathering the show in completely unsubtle and odd product placement. A recent challenge on "All Stars" involved silk because that week's guest judge had just visited Thailand — with the help of the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
Fans have noticed, and bemoaned it. "There were always sponsored challenges on Bravo," Ani Bundel wrote on the NBC News website earlier this year. "But at Lifetime this trend accelerated."
And when it comes to J.C. Penney branding, "All Stars" Season 7 has gone all out. The retailer is name-checked by Milano and other contestants constantly. It's built into the show's staging, with a J.C. Penney accessory wall. One episode featured sponsored content right in the episode title ("Penneys from Heaven"). The brand's presence is baked into the season's DNA.
Despite this conundrum, Lifetime decided to air it anyway, as is, starting in January (roughly 18 months after filming) — which is why Milano has been telling viewers most weeks about an outfit they won't be able to buy. It has been weird. There is no explanation or indication that the J.C. Penney partnership has ended — only a confusingly vague "Previously Recorded" message that appears in the corner of the screen every time the retailer is mentioned. (A Lifetime spokeswoman declined to comment on the record as to why the branding was left in despite the circumstances.)
To add to the bizarre nature of it all, the show often feels dated — one challenge involved designing an outfit inspired by the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Broadway musical, which closed a year before the season aired.
Milano did not mean to mislead viewers. She is blameless. And, in some ways, the overt branding for a company that actually filed legal documents to dissolve that advertising partnership is accidental high art. But for viewers, it can be disappointing: What is on air, isn't actually happening. The experience is cheapened.
It turns out the J.C. Penney collaborations might not have been that great of a prize even when they existed.
"I wouldn't say they're missing out," said Erin Robertson, who won "Project Runway" Season 15 and was the first designer to have a collection with the store. As part of the deal, her designs were supposed to "inspire" J.C. Penney products, but she was disappointed by how little the resulting wardrobe felt like her own. "We went to meetings and they were like, 'We love these!'" she added. "And then they never did anything that we talked about."
Robertson's deal came about after she won her season; she signed a contract with the Weinstein Company and received an upfront fee. She said she was supposed to receive royalties, but did not.
For Kentaro Kameyama, whose line led him to victory in Season 16, the J.C. Penney collection "inspired by" his winning design was part of his prize on the show. The retailer met with him for a second collection as well, that he says was eventually produced without his name on it.
Like Robertson, he met with J.C. Penney and provided them with design inspiration and textiles. They were all very excited, he said, but then the company's contact with him just stopped. Items similar to the designs he says he shared with the company later went on sale, without identifying him as the designer. He says his inquiries to J.C. Penney have gone unanswered. "I feel like they just felt they could take advantage of me," Kameyama said. "They took my design, but they didn't put my name on it."
In response to Robertson and Kameyama's comments, a spokeswoman for J.C. Penney provided a statement that said, in part, "the J.C. Penney agreement was with Weinstein Television, LLC. We never entered into any direct arrangements with the contestants/designers. We are not privy to the contract between the contestants/designers and Weinstein so we cannot speak to any royalties they may be owed."
The company also clarified that the products inspired by Robertson and Kameyama's designs were shipped "with a 'Project Runway' label and a 'Winner's Collection' hangtag. We never produced clothing under any of the designer's names."
Perhaps the point of "Project Runway" is no longer the fashion or competition, but over-the-top product placement. There's a new "Project Runway" now — Season 17 — on Bravo. There have been big changes, with a new host (Karlie Kloss has replaced Heidi Klum), mentor (Christian Siriano in place of Tim Gunn) and even a new production company (Magical Elves took over for Bunim/Murray).
But the ad blitz continues. In the season premiere, Siriano told contestants the show is providing them with all the tools they need, including "Pilot FriXion erasable pens for sketching." The contestants oohed and aahed in unison. One even said "awesome." It's corny. But on the upside, at least the pen actually exists.B:

Actually yes Losing a Dog Is More Painful Than Most People Think ,Request any Dog owner about their Dog and they will say how beautiful and amazing having a new companion is. Dogs will be the ideal firm. They are always pleased to see with their owners. Whether they are gone for five minutes or five hours, then their Dogs are going to be waiting at the door to welcome them home. They are great with children and will always provide love and attention, whatever the circumstance. Dogs are always there to cheer up anyone and are quick to provide a warm kiss and a little comfort when it is needed. Dogs are all amazing! But this makes it even more challenging to say goodbye once the time comes. It is a lot more debilitating than what many men and women think.
Last Goodbyes
The simple fact that Dogs are so amazing and terrific creatures explains why a lot of men and women find it too hard to bid farewell to their Dogs once they eventually pass away. It is because of this that researchers chose to inquire into the area of sorrow owners believe in the wake of losing their cherished Dogs.
Just how much does this hurt Losing a Dog ?
To figure out the level to which Dog owners had been hurt when they dropped a Dog, investigators chose to put up an investigation. The analysis was completed at the Department of Psychology in the University of New Mexico. Here, researchers contested Dog owners about their own feelings following the loss of the Dog. It is no surprise that the entire pet owners consented that the pain has only been too extreme and profound to take care of.
This is not the only research that's been performed on this challenging issue . Exotic researchers also have initiated some research into the pain felt after losing a Dog and interestingly, they've found that the pain following the passing of a pet is generally considerably more lasting than the pain that's felt after the loss of a loved one. It is universally agreed by lots of individuals that they simply cannot compare to the pain they experience following the loss of the Dog into the one following the loss of a loved one. Both hurt very much, but the simple fact is that Dog owners are profoundly connected to their own pets. So much so that losing is similar to shedding their soul mate. It is simply too much for your heart to manage.
There's little doubt about it the passing of a beloved Dog is tough and hard to bare. It is clear why so many men and women state that the pain and harm are only too much for them. Since the owner of a puppy , I cannot help but consider that dreaded day when my little pooch passes. Just considering it's enough to turn my stomach repeatedly. That day is unavoidable but before then, it is important to have fun with our pets while we can. Hopefully my puppy has several years of life left her for us to run about and appreciate, as do a lot of yours!

Horror is a very specific genre that calls for some unique lighting techniques. These five cinematography tips will make just about any horror film more stylized and effective.Horror films are all about tone, texture, and mood. Unlike many other genres that rely more heavily on other elements (dialogue, plot points, etc.), great horror films are all about style. That's not to imply that a great horror film shouldn't also have excellent dialogue and a great plot, but rather that those elements often take a back seat to the immersive mood and experience that a great horror film delivers.The two most important elements in creating that mood are sound design and cinematography, the latter being what we're going to focus on here. Unlike lighting a comedy or drama, more rules can often be broken when shooting a horror film, and in many cases that translates to a more effective final product.If you plan on shooting some horror material in the future, then this article is for you. The five cinematography tips listed below will serve as some fundamental guidelines that you can follow throughout your time on set:1. Shoot Through ThingsIn the context of a horror film, this benign scene becomes something more sinister. Image from ShutterstockSome horror filmmakers are drawn to extreme closeups, but in my opinion doing the exact opposite is far more effective. Rather than always filling up your frame with your actors faces (just because it looks intense), challenge yourself to go wider.Imagine a scene where an actor is sitting alone in their kitchen. An extreme closeup on their face may show us some added emotion, but a wide shot taken from outside the house (looking in) could be far more powerful. Not only are you showing the isolation of the character, but you're also creating a voyeuristic and unsettling feeling by shooting through a pane of glass, which is a technique that can be very effective under the right conditions.2. UnderexposeDavid Fincher's Zodiac. Underexposed and super scary. Image from IMDbAs DPs, we have it drilled in our heads to always expose perfectly. We have more tools than ever (both in camera and otherwise) that enable us to nail our exposure. Though, in some cases, that isn't what's going to serve the story most effectively. On a horror film, underexposing can be extremely effective as it'll leave more areas of the frame in the shadows and create a more mysterious feeling.Although you could technically expose normally and just color grade your footage to darken it in post, the end result won't be quite the same. You want to actually light your scene in a way that feels organically underexposed, and bring that out even more in the grade. Don't push things too far though, or you won't be able to bump it back up in post if needed. About a stop of underexposure is all you need to set the tone.3. Use HazeEven the Exorcist is made scarier by fog. Image from IMDbUsing a tasteful amount of haze (or fog) can add a lot of texture to your scene. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but it's still used on nearly every set (and for good reason). There's absolutely no substitute for the look and feel that haze can bring to your scene, and it's especially effective when it comes to the horror genre.Use a hazer or fog machine to add just a touch of haze to your scene, and be sure not to go overboard. A little bit of haze will go a long way, and much like underexposing, it can really help to set a unique and mysterious mood to your scenes.4. Don't Be Afraid of Colored GelsBeyond the Black Rainbow. Below the Red Gel. Image from IMDbI almost always avoid using colored gels when shooting, unless I'm using them to correct the color temperature of a light (for example, balancing tungsten to daylight). That said, if I'm ever going to use them, it's on a horror film, as that's one of the only genres where I feel they can work exceptionally well.Red gels in particular can be really effective for horror, as the color red can inherently make your viewers feel unnerved. Avoid using colored gels in the way that a photographer might (such as on the rim light) and instead use them on your key. Let's say you've got a scene that takes place in a dark hallway of a club. If your key light has a red gel on it, it will bleed over the faces of your actors and create a really stylized look. Again, know when to use this and when not to. If you mix colored gels with regular lighting (or natural light) you may just wind up with a strange looking image.5. Find Unique AnglesSome films are horrifying for different reasons. Image from IMDbThe most obvious example of a unique angle that works well for horror is the dutch tilt, though just about any unconventional angle can help play into the vibe of your film. Much like the other tips on this list, you want to use your camera angles to create an unsettling feeling within the viewer, and the best way to do that is to create an image that looks off balance. That's why the dutch tilt works so well.Other examples would be a bird's eye view or a very low angle shot looking up. Both of these are unique perspectives that we rarely see on film, and can really help to jolt the audience into the headspace of the characters. Always be sure that whatever extreme camera angle you're going for still suits your scene, as the last thing you want is to stylize a scene or moment in a way that isn't true to the story.Here are a few more thoughts, tips, and tricks from PremiumBeat dealing with the subject of cinematography:Cinematography Tip: Use Fog To Add Depth to Your ShotThe Art of Perspective and Symmetry in CinematographyPainting With Light: How To Fundamentally Approach The Craft Of CinematographyWhat are your favorite horror-centric cinematography techniques?

Imagine that you have a task to complete. You need to roll a 100-pound boulder up a steep hill. It's really difficult, but somehow you manage to do it.Now, you have to roll the boulder up the same hill again. You're going to be smarter this time. You look around and find a path that is less steep. Progress! You roll the boulder up the hill again, and you get to the top faster. Because you were smart, you were more productive, right?New day, same boulder, same hill. You're going to be really smart this time. You strap the boulder onto some apparatus and you use a motor to pull the boulder to the top of the hill. All of this takes you half as much time as pushing the boulder, and you aren't nearly as tired. In fact, you could move the boulder up the hill ten times if you had to. Now you have hacked your way to being super productive, right? You've leveraged technology to do your work for you.But this isn't productivity. This is doing something efficiently. This is why your productivity hacks don't work. How fast and effective you can do something doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. That's missing the starting point.If you want to be productive, the first question you need to ask yourself is "What is my work?" Unless you find deep meaning in rolling a rock up a hill for no reason, then you shouldn't be rolling a rock up a hill. Some of the tasks you are doing are just that: tasks.The second question you need to ask yourself is "What tasks will produce the results I want and need?" There is a lot of work that shows up in your world that looks very much like rolling a rock up a hill. It takes time and energy, but it doesn't produce any real, measurable results. It doesn't move you any closer to your goals.The real "productivity hack" is sitting down alone to decide what your real work is, what work you can invest yourself in, and how you plan to make a contribution. The best productivity hack is blocking the time to do the work that produces the results you want from your life, a big part of that life being your work, and work being one of the ways you make a contribution.

Arsenal and Chelsea put patchy domestic form behind them to reach the Europa League last 16 and they were joined by fellow big guns from Italy on a night of rip-roaring action in the continent's second-tier competition on Thursday.Arsenal beat BATE Borisov 3-0 after a 1-0 first-leg defeat by the Belarus champions while Chelsea took some of the pressure off coach Maurizio Sarri with a 3-0 home defeat of Malmo which gave them a 5-1 aggregate win over the Swedish side.Eintracht Frankfurt beat Shakhtar Donetsk 4-1 to earn a 6-3 overall victory and Napoli, winners of the UEFA Cup in 1989, had no problems beating FC Zurich 2-0 at home to advance 5-1 on aggregate.Inter Milan, the winners of three European Cup and UEFA Cup titles apiece, also strolled through with a 4-0 home win over Rapid Vienna which completed a 5-0 dismissal.Salzburg were the other big winners as their 4-0 home rout of Club Bruges gave the Austrian side a 5-2 aggregate win while two goals from Iran forward Sardar Azmoun handed Zenit St Petersburg a 3-2 overall success against Fenerbahce.Rattled by embarrassing domestic defeats, Chelsea looked jittery before Olivier Giroud settled their nerves with a close range tap-in shortly after halftime at Stamford Bridge following good work by N'Golo Kante and Willian in the build-up.Malmo had central defender Magnus Bengtsson sent off in the 73rd minute for a second bookable offence, moments before Ross Barkley curled in a delightful freekick from 20 metres.Callum Hudson-Odoi put the icing on the cake in the closing stages with a fierce low shot from inside the penalty area, boosting Chelsea's confidence ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester City in the League Cup final at Wembley.advertisementAn early Zakhar Volkov own goal put Arsenal on level terms at the Emirates stadium as the defender turned a low cross by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into his own net in a frantic opening.Shkodran Mustafi made it 2-0 with a thumping header from a Granit Xhaka corner and the Switzerland midfielder delivered another impressive set-piece for Sokratis Papastathopoulos to head home on the hour.Goals by Simone Verdi and Adam Ounas sent Napoli on their way and Inter followed in their footsteps as Matias Vecino, Andrea Ranocchia, Ivan Perisic and Matteo Politano made light work of their return leg against Rapid.ACTION PACKEDFollowing a 2-2 draw in Ukraine, Eintracht thumped Shakhtar 4-1 in an action-packed encounter with Sebastian Haller and Luka Jovic putting the German side in the driving seat before Junior Moraes pulled one back for the visitors.Marlos came close to an equaliser when he hit the woodwork before Haller netted his second and substitute Ante Rebic sealed the tie with a crisp low shot from 20 metres.Salzburg wiped out a 2-1 first-leg deficit thanks to a clinical first-half brace by Zambian forward Patson Daka after Xaver Schlager opened the scoring in the 11th minute. Munas Dabbur made it 4-0 late on.Goals from Magomed Odzoev and Azmoun gave Zenit a 2-0 lead against Fenerbahce to put them on course for a last-16 berth after a 1-0 first-leg defeat in Istanbul.Their progress looked in peril after Mehmet Topal hauled the Turkish side back into the tie shortly before halftime but Azmoun sealed the win in the 76th minute.Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb thrashed Viktora Plzen 3-0 for a 4-2 aggregate win over the Czechs while a Kevin Gameiro goal gave Valencia a 1-0 win over 10-man Celtic who had Jeremy Toljan sent off in the first half.The result completed Valencia's 3-0 overall defeat of the 1967 European Cup winners.Bayer Leverkusen were the surprise casualties after a 1-1 home draw with Krasnodar sent the Russian side through on away goals and Real Betis were beaten by Rennes 6-4 on aggregate following a 3-1 home defeat by the French side.Slavia Prague stunned Belgians Genk 4-1 away after a goalless first leg and Dynamo Kiev edged Olympiacos 3-2 on aggregate thanks to a 1-0 home win in the return fixture.A 0-0 home draw with Galatasaray was enough to see former European Cup winners Benfica through after their 2-1 away win a fortnight ago.

The most surprising part of these poll results is that those of you who voted that the Big 12 will actually thrive crept into the double digits. I told Carson this on our podcast, but I think I'm more optimistic than most about the future of the Big 12. I think I might be with the "will thrive" people.I've really struggled with how to think properly about this because there are so many tentacles to try and get your arms wrapped around, but the reality is that the Big 12 is currently making money. A lot of it. $300M last year ($30M to each team) and will make even more with a conference championship game.There is no incentive for anyone to go anywhere except for maybe OU (and even that is pretty debatable). The issue for the Big 12 is going to be this: Figure out how to keep pace with future contracts with TV networks on a per/team basis. You don't have to make SEC or Big 10 money, but you do have to make per-team SEC money (which you are currently pretty close to).The issue is that now your properties are not as valuable, and those other conference are beginning to sign some outrageous contracts. So where does the Big 12 go? Does it try and contend with those conference in terms of ESPN and FOX or does it try to ink deals with, say, Netflix and Hulu? Is that a wise financial move in the future or does it just sound sexy?These are the decisions the Big 12 will have to make now that it has decided to stay at 10 teams. I think there's a space for the Big 12 to really thrive over the next decade and beyond. I'm just not sure who I trust to find it. Tuesday poll question: Following the no expansion announcement, the Big 12 will …— Pistols Firing (@pistolsguys) October 18, 2016Let's get to your comments.okstate1990: The B12 will be fine. The Conference, the Universities and the Networks will figure it out — there are some pretty smart people involved despite the arrogance of UT. 2025 is a long way off. There's no need to panic and add teams (especially the ones available) just because the media and fans think they should.At some point, people may realize that the B12's round robin schedule is the way to do it and the 14/16 member conference idea wasn't so great. TV Networks are evolving very rapidly now; how do we know what the networks are going to even look like much less be able to afford in 9 years? It may turn out that the B12 is at an advantage only having 10 teams splitting fewer pie pieces.Levin: there are only a few P5 caliber schools not yet in a P5 conference. (BYU, Houston, Cincy) Those schools will add value to whatever conference they join, no question. The Big 12 will be fine without them for now, but will we be kicking ourselves later for not adding them when we had the chance?Chris: Wonder how other leagues are viewing the petulant behavior of OU during all this? Not a team player at all having constant tantrums since 2011. The league is dead, but I bet Ou doesn't get an offer until Boren is gone.TJ: I think maybe the big 12 accidentally is ahead of the curve on this. They protected their recruiting base just as much their financial base.If you're looking for the comments section, it has moved to our forum, The Chamber.

Chelsea boss Lampard: Hudson-Odoi, James will face Grimbsyby Paul Vegasa month agoSend to a friendShare the loveChelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will make his first-team return in the League Cup on Wednesday against Grimsby Town.This follows his recovery from an Achilles injury.The England international was forced off during the draw against Burnley in April and underwent successful surgery days later. The winger will feature alongside Reece James, who is yet to make a competitive appearance for Chelsea's senior side following a season on loan at Wigan.Asked about the duo, manager Frank Lampard told Chelsea's official website: "They'll be involved on Wednesday night."We need to look at players that haven't been playing so much. We will pay Grimsby due to respect but it certainly is minutes for certain players that haven't been there." About the authorPaul VegasShare the loveHave your say
A number of investors have been shortlisted to finance a major component of the Jamaica Logistics Hub initiative, which is being rolled out by the Government.Making this announcement in his contribution to the 2013/2014 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives, on Tuesday, May 14, Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, Hon. Anthony Hylton, said one of these entities has "verifiable" investment proposal of over US$500 million.Mr. Hylton said the investors are awaiting approval to proceed to the final stages of acceptance of their proposals, followed by implementation.The project involves 750,000 square feet of space in an ultra-modern technology park at Naggo Head, St. Catherine, with the potential to employ some 13,000 persons."The first 100,000 square feet of space has already been booked by an entity, which is the fastest growing Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) company to have entered Jamaica," he told the House.The company is currently in the process of building out a 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Kingston, to employ 600 persons in the next two months, until the technology park is ready.This, Minister Hylton said, is a demonstration of the investor's commitment.Additionally, construction at the Caymanas Economic Zone (CEZ) will begin within months, utilizing this type of venture approach."Some 200 acres of lots and purpose built space will be developed, in an environment comparable to any first world Special Economic Zone. The sectors earmarked for the zone include ICT, Manufacturing, Incubator, Creative Industries, Furniture, Electronics and Bio- medical industries," he outlined.Another development is the submission of proposals for the provision of alternative energy at competitive rates, to all of the new zones and where possible, to some of the existing onesMeanwhile, Minister Hylton noted that Cabinet has reaffirmed the decision by the previous government to utilise 200 acres of land at Caymanas Estate, part of which will facilitate a logistics centre. This is in addition to the proposed investment by China Harbour Engineering, which Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Portia Simpson Miller, announced in the House recently.Contact: Alphea Saunders
The Canadian government has responded to the Trump administration's decision to apply tariffs on steel and aluminum by imposing retaliatory tariffs effective Sunday on $16.6 billion worth of American imports.The final list includes a 25 per cent surtax on semi-finished goods including steel products and a 10 per cent tariff on a range of consumer goods including orange juice and coffee.Here are some details about the mechanics of how the tariffs will be collected and their possible impact on consumers:How significant are the import tariffs?The $16.6 billion worth of annual tariffs account for about six per cent of the $294 billion total value of goods imported from the United States. The 10 per cent rate on consumer goods represents about 70 per cent of goods impacted by tariffs.How will the tariffs be collected?As with tariffs and duties charged on other imports, they won't be paid at the border or port but later by the importer of record (wholesaler, retailer, etc.). The surtax is calculated on the Canadian value of the imported good and is subject to the Goods and Services Tax, says Jim Sutton, a vice-president with the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters.The bonded importer has to account for the tariff within five business days of the item being released by customs and paid at the end of the following month. The Canada Border Services Agency says the surtax will not apply to U.S. goods that are in transit to Canada before July 1.Canadian travellers will be required to pay the surtax on qualified goods if the value of what they are bringing back to the country exceeds their personal exemption.How will the collected tariffs be used?The Canada Border Services Agency will collect the tariffs and transfer the money to the federal government's general revenues. The proceeds can then be used to offset the cost of a series of initiatives to support Canadian companies and workers that are negatively impacted by U.S. tariffs.What products have been removed from the list of tariffs?Since the initial list was released June 1, the government has removed beer kegs along with nut purees and pastes, berry and fruit purees, jams and jellies (other than banana puree and strawberry jam) and prepared mustard. Also removed are aluminium wire, aluminium foil of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm, aluminium tubes and pipes, aluminum stranded wire and cables that are not electrically insulated, along with boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets, equipped for electric control or the distribution of electricity.How will tariffs impact retail prices?The Canadian tariffs won't have much of an impact on consumer prices, Krishen Rangasamy of the National Bank of Canada wrote in a report. He said importers are unlikely to pass on to consumers the higher costs on items such as steel and aluminum. And if costs are passed on, he said the "impacts are set to be minimal" and increase the consumer price index by just 0.1 per cent or so."In other words, while there are many things to worry about with regards to protectionism, higher consumer prices should be at the bottom of the list, unless of course the Canadian dollar takes a deep enough dive as to cause a surge in import prices."Will a 10 per cent tariff raise prices by 10 per cent?Cost of goods is just one component of retail prices along with other things like labour, utilities, rent, marketing and advertising. So any impact on retail prices would be lower than the 10 per cent tariff rate, said Karl Littler of the Retail Council of Canada.Will retail prices rise due to tariffs?Littler says he doesn't believe retailers are going to eat the higher costs over the long haul because retail is already a thin margin business. Sutton says some importers may have to initially absorb some of the higher costs because it takes time before changes are made in supply chains.How can consumers avoid higher prices?Consumers who switch their purchases from American goods subjected to tariffs to alternatives from other countries can avoid the tariff impact on prices, says Littler."So the consumer, if they're not deeply brand-attached and presuming that there's a sufficient flow of alternative choices, may not have to pay the tariff at all," he said.How will tariffs affect the economy?The bigger issue than tariffs is the continuation of a trade war between Canada and the United States that affects the overall economy, hurts consumer confidence and starts to reduce consumer spending, says Littler."So it's not just a price impact on the shelf where to some degree there may be substitutability, it's about shrinking wallets as well."
24 August 2007The Security Council today renewed the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) by another year and called on all parties in the region to play their part to turn last year's cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hizbollah into a permanent ceasefire and a more durable solution. The Security Council today renewed the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) by another year and called on all parties in the region to play their part to turn last year's cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hizbollah into a permanent ceasefire and a more durable solution. In a unanimous vote, Council members agreed to extend UNIFIL until 31 August 2008, saying the deployment of the peacekeeping mission "together with the Lebanese Armed Forces has helped to establish a new strategic environment in southern Lebanon." They also called on all parties to respect the cessation of hostilities and the entirety of the Blue Line between Israel and Lebanon. First created in 1978, UNIFIL's mandate and size were enhanced last year in the wake of the deadly conflict between the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Hizbollah, and today's resolution urged all sides to cooperate fully with the mission and to do their utmost to respect the safety of UN personnel in the region. In June, a UN patrol in southern Lebanon was struck by a bomb, killing six Spanish peacekeepers and seriously wounding two other blue helmets, while last month an explosion occurred near a UNIFIL vehicle but there were no casualties. In addition to its original mandate, UNIFIL now has responsibility, among other tasks, for: monitoring the cessation of hostilities; supporting the Lebanese Armed Forces as they deploy in the south of the country; and helping ensure humanitarian access to civilians and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons. The mission currently fields more than 13,000 troops out of its increased ceiling of 15,000.
"The Olympic Truce brings hope of at least a temporary respite from violence and armed conflict," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a message on the ancient Greek tradition of born in the eighth century BC."It also draws attention to a terrible paradox. At the Olympics and throughout the year, we rightly honour the outstanding achievements of the human body and the positive social values of competitive sport, including team spirit and fairness. Yet all too often, through the carnage of war, we do damage to that same human body, and to our shared values."The General Assembly took note of a similar message from Assembly President Ali Treki, who recalled that, who recalled the 192-member body's call in a 1993 resolution for all Member States to observe the Olympic Truce from the seventh day before the opening to the seventh day following the closing of each Olympic Games."I solemnly appeal to all Member States to demonstrate their commitment to the Olympic Truce for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and to undertake concrete actions at the local, national, regional and world levels to promote and strengthen a culture of peace and harmony based on the spirit of the Truce," he said. 8 February 2010The United Nations is calling for the traditional age-old truce during the XXI Winter Olympics which open in Vancouver, Canada, this Friday, urging warring parties to lay down their arms as the Games' ancient Greek founders did some 2,700 years ago.
"The TNA has a separatist agenda and they have been calling for an international war crimes probe which all parties are against. And they are a regional party, only representing the north and east of the country. So despite having more seats, it cannot be the main opposition," Gammanpila said.He further said that the UPFA members who had decided to sit as opposition parliamentarians had already submitted a name from its party for the opposition leader's post to President Maithripala Sirisena and expected an answer from the President soon. (Colombo Gazette) However UPFA member, Udaya Gammanpila said that despite the TNA now having more seats than any other opposition party, they worked against the country, especially by calling for an international domestic probe into war crimes. The TNA this week claimed that R. Sampanthan must be recognized as the leader of the opposition in accordance with parliamentary practice and convention as they have now emerged as the largest political party in the opposition in Parliament, after the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and United National Party (UNP) decided to work together in the new parliament. Some members of the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) today raised concerns over attempts to make Tamil National Alliance (TNA) the main opposition in Parliament.Fourteen UPFA members including former President Mahinda Rajapakse now sit in the opposition benches opposing the National Government while the TNA has 16 seats.
The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) has strongly rejected claims that tourism industry leaders have decided to boycott the Sri Lanka Tourism Awards tomorrow as President Maithripala Sirisena has been invited as the Chief Guest.SLTDA, as the governing body of Sri Lanka Tourism, believes that the duties vested in the institution should be carried forward under any circumstances and as a collective decision, hosting Sri Lanka Tourism Awards 2018 was decided to recognize the industry stakeholders after a break of 6 long years. It has also come to notice that more than 400 invitees have already confirmed their participation for the ceremony tomorrow (6) hence SLTDA looks forward to seeing all the stakeholders in celebrating the achievements of Sri Lanka's Tourism industry after 6 long years. (Colombo Gazette) SLTDA is of the opinion that it is best to invite the Head of State to attend the event, despite the prevailing political situation, as the event is the national event to recognize the valuable contributions made by individuals and organizations for the development of the Tourism Industry in Sri Lanka.
Three of the six Waterloo-Wellington Brock Alumni Network committee members gather at the Huether Hotel for a social with fellow grads. From L-R: Ted Soepboer, Melissa Campion and Amaris Gerson.With Brock alumni living all over the world, regional alumni networks are a way for graduates to stay connected to the University, regardless of distance. Networks are divided by geographical location or 'affinity group' (based on like-minded experiences or academic programs) and provide alumni with an opportunity to maintain connection with Brock from afar and socialize with local alumni.In Ontario alone, there are five networks, including the up and coming Waterloo-Wellington Network. With close to 2,500 Brock grads living and working in the Waterloo-Wellington area, six alumni have come together to form a committee to organize and execute alumni events in their area.Marty Fraser (BBA '94), Don Critelli (BAdmin '78), Melissa Campion (BA '06), Sara Glover (BA '09), Ted Soepboer (BBA '08; MBA '10) and Amaris Gerson (BRLS '08) form the Waterloo-Wellington alumni network committee, and are actively working to deliver three events per year."Our committee represents the broad range of disciplines and perspectives that Waterloo-Wellington is comprised of. Everyone brings their own skill-set to the table and is genuinely excited to be a committee member" said Ted, a financial analyst with Miovision Technologies in Kitchener.Many members of the current committee found themselves joining after attending an event. For both Ted and Marty, the structured tasting of Niagara wines at the Walper Hotel in downtown Kitchener was what bolstered their interest in a network. This sold out event was hosted by Allie Hughes (BA '09) and brought many graduates out to their first alumni event!Others decided to join a Network committee as a way to continue volunteering and giving back to Brock – which Melissa says is her 'other side of the brain.' Melissa, an event coordinator with the Alzheimer Society of Cambridge has truly taken her commitment to Brock to another level, volunteering on both the Waterloo-Wellington and Niagara alumni network committees as she splits her time between both regions.To date, the committee has planned two events: a social mixer and pool night at the Huether Hotel in Uptown Waterloo, and an upcoming professional development workshop at Bingemans in Kitchener. On Wednesday, October 30, Waterloo-Wellington alumni will be treated to a career development presentation, a networking reception, and a variety of appetizers at this newly renovated venue. To purchase your $15 ticket for this event, register online.If you are interested in getting involved in any Brock alumni network committee across Canada, or would like to start a new one that currently does not exist, please contact Emily Hutton at firstname.lastname@example.com

Even though the goal of achieving gender parity by 2005 has been missed, more girls are in school than ever before, UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura told yesterday's opening session in Beijing of the Fifth Meeting of the High Level Group on Education for All (EFA), the latest follow-up to the World Education Forum held in Dakar, Senegal in 2000.Some 20 million new students are attending classes in low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa, South and West Asia, and national spending on basic education as well as external aid to EFA have also risen, he said.But unless current trends improve, gender parity "may not be achieved by 2015 in as many as 86 countries," Mr. Matsuura said. Further, 18 per cent of the world's adults are still illiterate, and "it is also clear that the quality of basic education remains low and will not lead to meaningful learning outcomes unless tackled with renewed vigour." He welcomed the pledge by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who opened the meeting, to substantially increase China's contribution to education development throughout the world so as to accelerate progress toward the EFA goals.Mr. Wen pledged to train 1,500 teachers from developing countries annually over the next three years, donate 100 experimental rural schools to developing countries over the same time, and increase the number and value of scholarships and university places for students from developing countries to 10,000 annually.He also promised to increase financial support for developing countries hit by natural disasters and to grant $1 million in aid to pertinent research and training projects undertaken by UNESCO's International Institute for Capacity-Building in Africa and the UNESCO International Centre for Girls and Women's Education in Africa.This year's meeting, bringing together ministers of education, cooperation and development, the donor community and other intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, will focus on the goal of halving adult illiteracy by 2015. It will also work on a Joint Action Plan to stimulate action on the EFA goals and to offer better and more concrete support at the national level to achieve them.At the Dakar Forum, UNESCO was charged with coordinating the work of the EFA partners and sustaining global momentum.
Special Representative of the Secretary-General Ashraf Jehangir Qazi had discussed with Mowaffak Ruba'I about the possibility of confidence-building measures, including progress on detainee issues and widening the political process "in support of improved security."Issues of "government formation, the constitutional review commission and the national accord process" were examined as ways of strengthening national unity in the strife-torn country, UNAMI said.
The Geneva-based Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) agreed in principle to the sales in 2002 on condition that the Monitoring of Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) system establish up-to-date and comprehensive baseline data on poaching and population levels.Today's meeting of the CITES Standing Committee determined that this condition has not yet been satisfied and the sales may not go forward at this time.CITES, which is administered by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), banned the international commercial ivory trade in 1989. In 1997, recognizing that some southern African elephant populations are healthy and well managed, it allowed Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe to make a one-time sale to Japan totalling 50 tonnes. Those sales took place in 1999 and earned some $5 million.The now suspended sales authorized in 2002 allowed the export of 30 tonnes from South Africa, 20 tonnes from Botswana and 10 tonnes from Namibia.In 2004, requests by several southern African countries for annual ivory quotas were turned down by the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention. All legal sales of ivory derive from existing stocks gathered from elephants that have died as a result of natural causes or culling.The long-running debate over elephants has focused on the benefits that income from ivory sales may bring to conservation and to local communities living side by side with large and often dangerous animals against concerns that such sales may increase poaching. The baseline data will make it possible to determine objectively what impact future ivory sales may have on elephant populations and poaching.In a related decision, the Standing Committee decided that Japan had established a sufficiently strong domestic trade control system to be a trading partner allowed to purchase the ivory when sales eventually proceed.

Oct 06, 2019 Cory Blystone added it · (Review from the author)
My original idea was to create a sequel that felt like the first book. My first draft of this novel was much more lighthearted and reminiscent of the more playful scenes in Deadly Rhymes. However, I realized I had to take Sheree into a darker place, both physically and mentally, in order to fulfill some of the Easter eggs I hid in the first book of this trilogy, and decided to scrap everything except the prologue. The results of this decision to throw out 95% of the original draft was possibly ...more

AUGUSTE CLAPE 2017 CORNASItem #: i_350625Bottle Size: 750mlJames Suckling: 98-99Decanter: 97 PointsJAMES SUCKLING 98-99 POINTS - "Plenty of sexy graphite and dark stony aromas cast across showy dark fruits seen here, all presented in a vibrant and seductive form. Plenty of spices and fragrant lift, too. The palate is astonishingly rich, layered and seamlessly complete. The tannins are dense, compressed and commanding, whereas the tension is entrancing. Flavors run from red to darker fruits. The finish is already long and majestic. Exceptional wine"
DECANTER 97 POINTS - "Low yields of just 27hl/ha this year due to coulure, instead of a more normal 37hl/ha - so there might be no 2017 Renaissance produced. A tasting of the main constituent parts from barrel suggests a potent, ripe, tannic style. The young Reynards is rich in fruit with good acidity, if high in alcohol; Sabarotte is resolutely Cornas: impenetrable, resinous, firm and saline; Petit Côte and La Côte are fleshy and rich; the older Reynards admirably complete, with a massive, ripe tannic load. Pierre compares it to the 2009, albeit more structured. You'll need to keep this for a while, but it will be rewarding when finally ready."
CHRISTOPHE SEMASKA 2015 COTE ROTIE FLEUR DE MONTLYSItem #: i_352147Bottle Size: 750mlVery dark. There is an aroma of stylish black berry fruit inside the bouquet, which has an oaked, grilled outer, black cherry, the fruit clear, some nutshells also. This is sleekly fruited, with crisp tannins, mineral, vin de terroir within the oak. There is a close link between nose and palate. It drives along on a smooth route, presents very fine juice. Graphite and close-knit juice appear on the finish. "It is square, runs straight down the line, has graphite, minerality.
FRANCOIS VILLARD 2015 COTE ROTIE LA BROCARDEItem #: i_351140Bottle Size: 750mlFrancois Villard La Brocarde comes from vines planted on the Cote Blonde with up to 13% Viognier in the blend. The wine takes its name from the La Brocarde lieu-dit. The berries are whole cluster fermented and up to 30% of the grapes are destemmed. The wine is aged in between 80% new, French oak barrels to 100% new, oak, depending the character of the vintage. The wine spends close to 18 months in barrel before bottling. The production is quite small as only 100 cases are produced in an average year.
GUIGAL 2015 COTE ROTIE D'AMPUISItem #: i_350060Bottle Size: 750mlWine Advocate: 95-97Wine Spectator: 97Jeb Dunnuck: 98 PointsJEB DUNNUCK 96-98 POINTS: "Scheduled to be bottled just after this visit, the 2015 Côte Rôtie Château D'Ampuis reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as an extraordinary bouquet of smoked black fruits, caramelized blackcurrants, leady herbs, ground pepper, and earth. It's deep, rich, massively concentrated, and a powerhouse of a wine that's going to need bottle age, but wow, what a wine! The big news at the Guigal estate is the purchase of Domaine de Nalys in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The family has always wanted an estate in the South, and Nalys is an unrealized treasure trove of awesome terroir and old vines, both of which I've no doubt will be maximized by this talented family. In addition, the former winemaker at Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Jacques Desvernois, has joined the team, and while it's not clear exactly what his role will be, I suspect he will largely lead the charge at Domaine de Nalys. Either way, Desvernois is an incredible talent and can only add to what is already a well-oiled machine. As to the wines reviewed in this report, I was able to taste multiple vintages of each of the cuvées and have listed the wines by cuvée as opposed to by vintage, which is how we tasted through the wines."
WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS: "A gorgeous core of steeped raspberry, boysenberry and fig fruit gives this a showy side. A lush structure flows underneath, while long echoes of warm ganache, black tea and espresso linger. The fruit keeps this in the suave and alluring camp overall, though there's plenty of grip for cellaring. Best from 2022 through 2042."
ROBERT PARKER 95-97 POINTS: "The 2015 Côte Rôtie Château d'Ampuis finally approaches the lofty goals set for it by the Guigal family. It's a bit toasty from the barrel but full-bodied, ripe and concentrated. Loaded with tannins and black raspberry fruit, it's silky at the same time, leaving behind lingering traces of mocha and roasted meat on the long finish."
PIERRE BENETIERE 2015 COTE ROTIE CORDELOUXItem #: i_350621Bottle Size: 750mlPierre Bénetière applied his learnings from world-famous Georges Vernay and is now crafting some of the most old-school, hard-to-find Côte-Rôtie on the market. A "unicorn" producer, his holdings consist of a few organically farmed acres on vertiginous terraces."Cordeloux" comes from a ~3.5 acre plot climat named "Corps de Loup" in the southern part of Côte-Rôtie. Expect incredibly highly perfumed and densely concentrated notes of blackberry, boysenberry, and blueberry to lead the charge, with olive tapenade, smoked meat, leather, damp violet, stems, and underbrush to follow. Rock-like minerality (crushed granite, turned earth) and slight pepper and spice round it out. The palate is deep and layered with simultaneous finesse. It's a beautiful wine, medium-plus bodied with layers of fresh black and blue fruits accentuating the finish.
RENE ROSTAING 2016 COTE ROTIE COTE BLONDEItem #: i_352157Bottle Size: 750mlWine Advocate: 98Decanter: 98 PointsWINE ADVOCATE 98 POINTS - "The 2016 Côte Rôtie La Côte Blonde (from the lieu-dit of the same name—not a blend of sites) is a terrific effort. It blends the structure of la Viallière with the elegance of la Landonne, making it a truly complete and compelling bottle. Some mocha, black olive and meaty notes lend it a savory cast, while the palate is creamy and concentrated, firm but silky. It's medium to full-bodied, with a fine, licorice-tinged finish that lingers a good long time. It should drink well for 20+ years. When I arrived at the domaine, I went in an opened door and came upon René Rostaing, who was putting labels on bottles for shipment to the United States. I told him I had an appointment and he said, "Let me get the boss." We went across the street to the winery building, where he handed me off to his son Pierre, who is fully in charge of the winemaking now. He cranked the ventilation fan up to high so we could taste in the cellars, despite ongoing fermentations above. Following up on his exciting 2015s, both the 2016s and 2017s look similarly outstanding. He's releasing two additional single-vineyard wines (Côte Brune and La Viallière) from the 2016 vintage as an homage to his ancestors, with label designs from the past (Gentaz-Dervieux and Dervieux-Thaize). Of course, quantities are tiny, but not only are the labels retro-cool but the wines are damn good also.
DECANTER 98 POINTS - " No destemming here, aged in mostly old demi-muids with no more than 10% new oak. A captivatingly pretty floral fragrance can be coaxed out along with aniseed and blackberry notes, but it's tightly wound for now. The rounded palate is dense, with good concentration of red fruit and delightfully perfumed juniper. Soft tannins coat the mouth, and oak is present but well judged. There's good balancing acidity and a lovely, gently mineral seam leads onto a long, saline, savoury, piercing finish. Real detail and precision."
RENE ROSTAING 2016 COTE ROTIE LA LANDONNEItem #: i_352152Bottle Size: 750mlWine Advocate: 97Wine Spectator: 95Decanter: 97 PointsJeb Dunnuck: 96 PointsDECANTER 97 POINTS - "Aged in demi-muids - a maximum of 10% new oak - with no destemming. It has that austere mineral character on the nose so typical of La Landonne. It is rounded, with good concentration and ripeness, matched with ample, piercing acidity and bristling with fine, fresh tannins. Its intensity comes primarily from its structure and mineral content rather than the fruit, and it is incredibly energetic and lively on the palate. Powerful and very well balanced in a structural, chiselled style, this is in an altogether different league from his Ampodium, with a good balance of fruit, flowers and mineral scents."
WINE ADVOCATE 97 POINTS - "Subtle notes of baking spices frame hints of tea, olives and raspberries on the nose of the 2016 Côte Rôtie la Landonne. A paragon of elegance, it's medium to full-bodied, but silky from start to lingering finish. It's a wine that's pretty much guaranteed to make even the steeliest curmudgeon smile, as it's so bright, ephemeral and luscious. It's not the rich, ripe wine the 2015 is, but it's suave, complex and lonG."
