We were overwhelmed with responses, and this summer we are proud to be the first city in the UK to present a city centre wide art installation that’s a partnership between the city’s schools, the city’s businesses and everyone that vists our fair town.

The banners will be on display from May through to September and if you like the display, please ‘like’ our facebook page by visiting here: https://www.facebook.com/brilliant.brighton

For up to the minute news on what’s happening in Brilliant Brighton, you can also follow us in twitter @brillbrighton.

The project has been made possible thanks to the generosity of supporting Brighton Businesses Juice FM and Austin Rees (Independent Surveyors, block managers and lettings specialists).

Richardson pots umpires as end nears for Saints coach

Richardson pots umpires as end nears for Saints coach

Alan Richardson pointed to poor umpiring as part of the reason for his side’s 27-point defeat to Geelong on Saturday night, a loss which all but condemned the Saints coach to the axe.

Richardson’s side ran the ladder-leading Cats close at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday night, but a pair of late goals from champion Gary Ablett helped seal the deal.

Ablett had recovered from an earlier hip complaint which led him to spend time in the rooms during the third quarter.

St Kilda are expected to move on Richardson once a finals berth becomes a mathematical impossibility, if not sooner.

Having lost four in a row and nine of their last 11 games, the Saints find themselves three games and a vast amount of percentage outside the top eight, with six rounds to play.

Their finals chances remain mathematically alive, but no better than that.

In his sixth season at the helm, and having failed to make the finals as coach, Richardson has long looked vulnerable.

But he remained defiant on Saturday night, insisting that he wasn’t worrying about his future.

Richardson said he found it easy to compartmentalise.

“I find it very easy. That’s my job,” Richardson said.

“I don’t even think about it. My focus is all about everything we’ve covered so far. How can we get better in terms of maximising entry when we’re having dominant performance? We’ve got to make sure that the group continue to drive to the end of the year.

“It’s looking less likely now that we’ll play finals, so we can either completely fall away and feel sorry for ourselves, or we can understand that we represent a lot of people, this club means so much to so many people. We can give that the respect that it should be by the way that we play.”

The Saints lost the free kick count 26-14, a fact to which Richardson alluded.

“What did we lose free kicks by? A lot I think. I didn’t think the umps had a great night. We made blues but they made blues,” Richardson said.

“It was as much about the non-calls as it was the calls. I don’t get caught up too much in the umpiring, because we make blues, and they make blues, but I thought it was pretty inconsistent tonight."

However, Richardson balanced his criticism with some praise for the umpires.

"We had an umpire come to training because we gave away seven free kicks in front of goal and cost us seven goals last week, so the umpiring department was outstanding there. They sent an umpire down to match sim, spend some time with the backs because that was their issue, not only out on the field but on tape. We’ll follow up.”

Richardson also said Dan Hannebery would be monitored but was no guarantee to return against the Western Bulldogs next Sunday, having missed two matches already with soreness.

Geelong coach Chris Scott said the Cats would consider giving Ablett another week off before the end of the season.

"The situation is that he's had a week off [through suspension] and he's had the bye," Scott said.

"There's a pre-finals bye – and now I'm certainly not getting too far ahead of myself – but there's the potential that there could be another week off after that.

"It's a bit more complicated than just saying 'yeah let's chop him out'. There is a risk that some of our guys might not get enough footy. But, yes, it is a consideration."

Meanwhile injury-plagued midfielder Scott Selwood was sent for scans after hurting his ribs in the VFL.

Plasma Skin Tightening
Glow Facials & Lips
Body Sculpting
Lashes & Microblading
Hyaluronic Infusions

Cellulite & Facial Infusions Information is below

REGISTRATION IS OPEN for california & Hawaii!

How much is training and what does it include?
Promo price of $899 ~ 1-day for approximately 5-6 hours, includes the pen, sample fillers and a Certificate of Completion. We teach you infusions for the lips, face, and bio-revitalization (see below).

How much do you charge for the service?
$300-1500 depending on the area

Where are you located?
We have multiple locations, however we only offer this service in Aliso Viejo. We offer training in Aliso Viejo and Hawaii; other areas can be available upon request.

What is "Hyaluronic Infusions?"
Over the course of the years, guess what? We age! The body itself produces less hydration (hyaluronic acid) and collagen isn't as abundant, therefore our appearance will appear dull with deeper wrinkles, fine lines and sometimes saggy skin.

"Hyaluronic Infusions" is when hyaluronic acid is inserted into the skin, similar to the hyaluronic acid you already have in your body. The longevity however is absolutely different. The natural Hyaluronic Acid found in the human body has a short lifespan (around 3-5 days), where as the infusion we insert can last for months. The substance still is removed from the body through the natural degradation process, it just takes more time, allowing the Hyaluronic Acid inserted to retain the water inside the skin.

Our trained professionals (not students) use a pen that has a special piston with a spring which helps to infuse the filler quickly; the pain is minimal, with low risk of bruising or swelling. The microscopic hole, through which cocktails and biorevitalizants are injected under the skin is twice smaller than the diameter of the needle used for injections. While administering cosmetic substances by the pen, the products are absorbed and distributed under the skin much better in comparison with simple injections made by a basic needle.

The system of an injection-free administration of fillers, biorevitalizants and meso-cocktails will not only provide your skin with freshness and youth, but will also provide comfort during the process of carrying out the treatment. You will eliminate post-injection complications such as severe bruising. The infusion process is an optimal solution for clients with sensitive skin that is inclined to getting scars and hematomas.

These infusions help plump lips; reduce smile lines, wrinkles, frown lines and chin creases. Biorevitalization/Mesotherapy can treat other areas of the face.

For optimum results, we recommend a course of 4-6 treatments and we do sell packages! Once you complete the series of treatments, the results can last up to 18 months.
Some FAQ's

What is Hyaluronic Acid?
HA is a natural sugar found in the human body, hyaluronic acid is the most hydrating substance in the world. It’s primary function is to attract water and keep the skin hydrated, plump and youthful. The human body creates Hyaluronic Acid naturally, so it is impossible to be allergic to it. As we age, our body decreases the amount of HA produced as well as collagen fibers. This decrease causes our body to look older, resulting in loss of hydration and elasticity; therefore wrinkles form and the skin begins to sag. By adding HA into the skin we revive the collagen and promote a fresher, plumper look. Hyaluronic Acid is also the main structural element of connective tissue.

How long do results last?
Results last 3-6 months depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the HA Infusion.

Is this like Botox?
No, Botox is not a filler nor is it ever injected into the lips. Botox is used to temporarily cut off nerve signals to muscles, limiting the movement of said muscle and smoothing out the wrinkles. The HA Pen delivers a low viscosity filler into the lips for volume, or into the facial skin for wrinkle reduction.

What’s the difference between the Hyaluron Pen and other fillers?
First and foremost other fillers are injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the skin using a needle. That is not the case with the HA Pen. The special device we use launches the fillers into the skin through pressure and then the HA spreads to the epidermis and dermis.

Is there a risk of occlusion?
The HA pen inserts the Hyaluronic Acid compound into the upper dermal layers of the skin. The risk of going too deep, or the likelihood of puncturing a blood vessel is virtually impossible as no sharp needle tip is used. As you know, there are risks with anything, that's why proper training is so important.

Can I get this treatment if I already have a lip filler?
Yes you can! We just recommend that you wait 30 days if you recently had it done.

Cellulite Treatments & Bio-Revitalization

Cellulite Treatments: Because cellulite can be fibrous or hard, it requires certain types of enzymes which are able to enable the transepidermal action of breaking down these collagen fibers, therefore redensifying the area and detoxing reactive radicals. By using our method, the epidermis begins the healing process by re-connecting its broken connective tissues. The treatment process requires an average of 6-10 sessions depending on the current connective tissue breakdown. You can repeat the treatments every 7-10 days. Areas we can treat are thighs, saddlebags and the abdomen. Pricing starts at $89 p/area. Packages are available.

Bio-Revitalization Facials and Stretch Marks: Compared to other bio-revitalizing solutions in the current market, our products contain a special polymeric peptide derived from the ocean. Our formula contains poly-nucleotides, sodium hyaluronate, peptides, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins and trace minerals which is a powerful anti-aging solution. Benefits include intensive hydration, cellular bio-revitalization with a soft re-filling effect on the appearance of wrinkles and dimpled skin. It also can help stretch marks, scars, and skin tone. We recommend 6 consecutive sessions every 7-10 days. You can do follow up visits every 3-6 months after the initial 6 sessions. Pricing starts at $129.

RS Mentoring Scheme continues for CBA's Year 12 and 13 students

The RS Mentoring Scheme is well underway with our students having been introduced to their mentors, who will give them personalised advice and guidance, to help them fulfil their potential.

The scheme, which has been running for several years, pairs business mentors from RS Components, up with students who have a specific interest in their area of operation, including IT, accountancy and marketing.

The students have already had a tour of RS Components and have been matched up with mentors. Now it is up to them to continue the momentum, which was started by Business Studies teacher Alex Allan.

She said: ‘The RS Mentoring Scheme opens doors for students and gives them opportunities. It is for Sixth Formers who want to be paired up with professionals. The business mentor can support them with coursework, give them interview experience and be a critical friend.

‘In part one of the scheme we introduced them, in part two, we paired them up so the idea is that now they are free to take the interaction at a pace and level they want. It is like a networking platform and we have 15 students paired up with five business mentors.

‘We did a whole induction day where they were taken around RS and if students have an interest in a particular department they will be taken around it. One of our students had two days of work experience in Finance, put it on her UCAS application and now has got five offers!

‘It is opening up avenues for work experience and support. We have been running the scheme for about six years. It has proved very successful and there are more students applying for it than ever before. That is because I keep maintaining a good relationship with RS Components and every year every single person in Years 12 and 13 gets a mock interview. There may also be apprenticeship opportunities open to our students as well in the future, so that is a pathway that some of them may wish to consider, as not everyone wants to go down the university route.

‘I’d like to thank RS Components and all the mentors for sharing their advice and expertise. It really is invaluable for our students to learn from people at the cutting edge of business, and also they can teach them real life skills and attitudes that they may not experience in a classroom setting.’

More than half of the students on the Mentoring scheme will also be visiting RS Components during half term to learn more about the many and varied current apprenticeship opportunities on offer to young people.

We always welcome contact from businesses and companies who may have apprenticeship opportunities that they want to share directly with our Sixth Formers. Please contact aallan@corby with more information as are seeking to further expand opportunities for CBA Sixth Form students who wish to take the apprenticeship route.

Researching a Business Prior to Purchasing

Friday, October 12, 2012 · 1 Comment

Some people prefer to buy an existing business rather than starting from scratch for a number of reasons. An established business already has a client base, market share, employee’s, lease agreements, shop premise, supplier list and so on. It is a lot easier to buy an existing business rather than starting from scratch.

You need to ensure you research a business before buying it!

So what is involved in buying a business and what research should you consider throughout the business buying process?

Initial Decision: What type of business should you buy?

What skill set and experience do you have in a certain business industry? Purchasing a business within an industry you are knowledgeable about will not only be an asset in operating the new business but will help you understand the pricing of the business and what’s involved. Buying a business in a different industry will leave you faced with a lot more learning challenges to face. You may find yourself purchasing a business you know little about.

Let the Hunting Begin: How to find a business for sale?

With the advance of technology, the number one place for finding a business for sale is online, with a number of websites advertising business sales. A number of businesses also become available by word of mouth and are sold with very little advertising done. So make sure you let people in your industry know you are looking to buy a business and you never know what may become available. With this method be sure you check out the credentials and financials of the business and don’t just buy it because you heard about it “through a friend”. You can also register with your local business broker and they can let you know when a business becomes available that matches your criteria.

Finding Out More: Meeting with a Business Owner or Broker.

Once you have found a business you are interested in you next need to meet with the business owner or broker to do a walk though of the business. During this process you can see how the business operates, what type of clientele are attending the business, its location, staff, inclusions in the sale etc.

If you feel comfortable with what you have seen you can then begin the process of due diligence. This is where you will probably sign a confidentiality agreement and be allowed to view the businesses financials and legal documents. Once you have access to the financials (e.g. cash flow, balance sheets, BAS statements, accounts payable and receivables, employee files etc) and other documentation (e.g. lease agreements, contracts, legal obligations, ABN, registrations and licenses, supplier list, manuals etc) you will want these to be reviewed with an accountant, lawyer or business advisor.

Closing the Deal: Purchasing the Business.

Once you have thoroughly investigated the business and decided you wish to go ahead with the purchase the next step is to agree on a price. Is the price set by the owner reasonable? Is the SAV accurate? Be sure to take into account any stock that is slow moving – you don’t want to be over paying for stock they couldn’t sell. Also assess the current value for equipment, not when it was first purchased. Once you have agreed on a price you will want to establish the payment plan. Most businesses are sold with installments and a large deposit payment. Often the income from future sales is used to make further payments. It all depends on coming up with a suitable payment plan for both parties. You will also find that banks will lend to a certain amount and that may have to come into consideration.

Next step, involves getting the lawyers to draw up a contract of sale that outlines the inclusions in the business sale such as stock, training services, equipment, business name, licenses etc as well as the payment plan. Once this is all done and signed, the next step will be to have a date of exchange and the new owners can move it. You also need to ensure all of the ownership changes are lodged with the ATO and other government bodies as well as any other necessary businesses.

Have you bought a business? What sort of research did you conduct before purchasing?

There's More to a Guidebook Than Its Cover

Michael Kraus

We've all felt baffled about which guidebook we should buy. Zora O'Neill, who writes for Moon and Rough Guides, asked fellow authors how travelers can find the best fit

Brand name

Rule out obvious mismatches right away. The student authors at Let's Go, for example, won't have the time or budget to ferret out boutique hotels. If you're unsure of a brand's slant, scan the guide to your hometown--or a town you know particularly well--and note what kind of restaurants, hotels, and activities receive glowing reviews. But finding a brand you're comfortable with is only the first step. "Individual books within a particular series can vary enormously in quality," warns Gordon McLachlan, author of The Rough Guide to Germany.

Edition and copyright

Maxine Cass, who has written for Thomas Cook Publishing and The Globe Pequot Press, immediately flips to a guide's copyright info. It's usually facing the title page, though sometimes publishers hide it near the back. Cass says that chances are a book that's just appeared on bookshelves "is already a year out of date," because of the time involved in editing and printing. You don't want a guide staler than that. Check to see if something monumental from recent years, such as a major hurricane or political shift, is mentioned in the text.

Authors are typically paid advances that are barely enough to cover travel expenses involved in a first edition. Consequently, opinions are often formed after quick, even perfunctory, visits. As they write subsequent editions, authors have more time to make keener judgments. "It's impossible to research everything fully the first time," admits McLachlan. "A really authoritative guide will have gone through at least a couple of previous editions."

You also don't want a 14th edition with material that's changed only slightly over two decades. At first glance, it's difficult to tell if a book's been revised properly. Robert Reid, a Brooklyn-based writer who has updated a dozen books for Lonely Planet, recommends investigating older editions at the library. Reid says that "identical hotel listings for Calgary in four straight editions" indicate that the writer might be lazy.

When choosing between a guide that covers an entire country and a title devoted to a single region or city, opt for the more specific one as long as it makes sense with your itinerary. "The greater the area the book tries to cover, the more superficial the information," says Thomas Kohnstamm, who writes about Latin America and the Caribbean for Lonely Planet. For instance, Moon Handbooks' 334-page Acapulco guide obviously has more information about the beach resort than Fodor's Mexico 2006, a guide for the entire country that has 41 pages focused on Acapulco.

Author bio

Look at the bio and sample passages of text for signs that the writer has knowledge and experience in the destination. Scan for indications that the writer is interested in the stuff that interests you. Kohnstamm says that when going to Montreal to check out nightlife, "the last thing I want is a book written by a middle-aged expert on Quebecois museums. You can also learn a lot by reading section introductions, seeing what they focus on, and comparing them to the detail in reviews." Categories that lack color are probably not the writer's forte.

Publishers want readers to have confidence in their writers, so a bio should point out, say, if the writer has a master's degree in French literature or is published regularly in major newspapers and magazines. Read the bio closely, and also think about what's absent. If the bio is all fluff--or worse, nonexistent--that's not a good sign. The back page of Access Philadelphia lists the name of the writer and researcher for the sixth edition, but nowhere in the book is there information about who she is, what qualifies her, or who wrote the previous five editions.

While a resident author may seem ideal, Janet Groene, who writes for the Open Road series, often prefers a traveler's perspective. "Locals never stay in hotels," she points out, "and they're often so caught up in local politics and gossip they miss the forest for the trees." On the other hand, residents tend to do a better job of unearthing obscure nooks and hidden gems in big cities.

"Maps should be plentiful and labeled with what's relevant, not half another country to fill space," says Cass. The symbols and type should be easy to read--some maps inside Globetrotter's guide to Rome and the Vatican have tiny lettering, and lots of it (see left). Compare similar maps in a few guidebooks to find a level of detail with which you're comfortable. Think about how you'll be using the book: Colorful, out-of-scale maps drawn by artists will be of limited assistance if you're going on a road trip. Instead, you'll be better off with maps that contain major and secondary roads, city close-ups that show which streets are one-ways, and mileages between destinations. Or figure on buying a good road map as a supplement.

Browse a book's index to get an overall sense of how thorough it is. Look in particular for topics that are important to you. Lonely Planet's Bermuda guide, for instance, has nothing listed in the index under movies, cinema, film, or theater (even though the book itself cites three spots screening movies).

Because it's difficult to tell how sensibly a guide is organized until you're actually on your vacation trying to use it, Bethany Ericson, the author of New England Cabins & Cottages, suggests doing a little hypothetical role-playing before you make a selection in the bookstore. "Think about a place you know you want to visit and then go to that chapter," she says. "Now pretend that you're hungry or tired, or want to go to some cultural festival or back to the hotel. How easy is the book to use?"

Budget Travel and the Frommer's guides are owned by two different companies (Newsweek Budget Travel and Wiley Publishing, respectively) and have no affiliation.

Driven to succeed

“Quattro was incorporated in 1993 and is the brainchild of its founders, Graham White and Dimitri and George Klironomos,” explains Administration Manager, Sanjika Phiri. “Beginning life with just a single eight seat minibus, Graham surrounded himself with a strong management team, and together with the company’s employees built it into the business that it is today, a multi-million dollar operation with a fleet of more than 500 vehicles.”

In 2005 Quattro began transportation work for the mines of Zambia and today boasts transportation contracts to ferry employees and goods for these mines. Besides personnel transport, it also deals in waste management for the mines and is able to provide equipment such as sewerage trucks, skip trucks and skip bins on a contractual basis.

Quattro also has a newly opened engineering workshop comprising engine reconditioning services including, crankshaft grinding, reboring, line boring, con-rod resizing, cylinder head repairs and reconditioning, injector pump and injector overhauls.

“We have branches in Kitwe servicing Mopani Copper mines Plc and Chambeshi Metals Plc,” Phiri says. “We also have three branches in Solwezi district that cater to Kansanshi Mine Plc, Lumwana Mine (Barrick) and Kalumbila Mine. Our total workforce currently stands at close to 1,000 throughout all branches”.

Initially focusing on the handling of imports into Zambia, Quattro gradually moved into the field of transportation. “Our first contracted transportation role saw us running personnel transportation on behalf of Chambeshi Metals to and from the Chambeshi Mine,” Phiri continues. “It was the seizing of this opportunity that allowed us to get a foothold in the mining market. Subsequently we established a strategy to achieve considerable growth, one that saw us investing in our fleet of vehicles and equipment in order to seize the initiative once contracts became available at the next mine site.” There can be little doubt that this strategy would prove to be effective, what with Quattro today servicing five of Zambia’s six largest mining operations.

That is not to say that Quattro is a company happy to remain static once an initial goal has been reached. Far from it in fact, what with the company making strong moves in the last several years to further diversify its service offering, one that already includes the transportation of explosives, hazardous materials and waste products.

One of the more recent developments involving Quattro has been its opening of a dedicated trucking division. Here the company operates a fleet of international trucks tasked with the haulage of materials such as copper or cement. The copper these trucks carry is typically being carried to mine sites across South Africa where it can be processed. Understandably it is a source of great pride that Quattro today finds itself involved in such a large scale industry as the copper trade.

“Diversification can, without question, be a challenging process, however it has long been a belief of those of us within Quattro that one shouldn’t necessarily keep all of their eggs in one basket,” Phiri states. “Having honed our skills in the field of passenger transport it was decided that one of the best ways of creating new business opportunities, and in turn greater employment, was to branch out into other fields like trucking.”

The challenge at the heart of any new undertaking is the time it takes to adapt to new ways of conducting operations, a process that extends to multiple areas of Quattro’s own business including staff training, risk management, and health and safety.

“When it comes to passenger transportation we are accountable first and foremost to our clients, the mines themselves, and safety is key as there is no compromise when it comes to human life,” Phiri says. “Each client possesses certain standards that they live by and it is our responsibility to ensure that we comply 100 percent with those standards while providing no room for error. These clients expect nothing but the best from their service providers and we go all out to ensure that we meet those expectations.”

Maintaining the highest levels of standards also defines the ways in which Quattro approaches its handling of explosives, waste and other hazardous materials. “Working within and around mine sites makes for a hugely unique logistical environment, one where the absence of tar roads makes for extremely harsh conditions in which to transport goods and personnel. Such a climate calls for the highest of safety standards to be maintained at all times, with vehicles also being serviced frequently. Safety is key at all times, especially when it comes to explosives and hazardous materials. A lot of people tend to think that because all of what we do involves transportation all the same rules must apply, however that is very far from the truth.”

When it comes to the future of the company, Quattro’s immediate goal is to maintain a steady ship, whilst continuing to identify potential opportunities that could result in further growth forward, including the possibility of venturing across Zambia’s borders into the Congo to work for some of the mines there. In the meantime however, the company is more than happy to be growing steadily in line with the mines and clients it serves, and who have contributed towards Quattro’s growth.

“There is a bit of a misconception among some people that only big, multi-national investors can come into Zambia and be successful, however what Quattro, under the guidance of Graham White, has done is prove this to be untrue,” Phiri concludes. “We are a Zambian company that has grown from strength to strength as a business, while also ensuring that we do our bit to help others whether that be in the form of employment or supporting schools, orphanages and others in need. What Graham and Quattro as a whole have achieved to date proves that if you put your mind towards something and if you persevere and work towards your goals anything can be achieved.”

Taylor Swift donates to fight anti-LGBTQ legislation in Tennessee

ANI  |  Music

American singer Taylor Swift showed support for LGBTQ rights in her home state of Tennessee by donating a generous amount of USD 113,000 to an organisation called Tennessee Equality Project (TEP).

The organisation has been working to keep state lawmakers from passing a series of bills that Swift and others characterise as a "slate of hate".

The 29-year-old singer also penned a handwritten note on why she felt so "inspired by the work" the organisation does. TEP's executive director, Chris Sanders, posted a photo of Swift's letter on the organisation's Facebook page and praised the singer for her gift.

"I'm writing you to say that I'm so inspired by the work you do, specifically in organizing the recent petition of Tennessee faith leaders standing up against the 'slate of hate' in our state legislature," Swift began her letter.

"Please convey my heartfelt thanks to them and accept this donation to support the work you and these leaders are doing. I'm so grateful that they're giving all people a place to worship," she added.

Sanders said in his caption that TEP was "honoured and grateful" for her note and donation.

"Taylor Swift has been a long time ally to the LGBTQ community. She sees our struggle in Tennessee and continues to add her voice with so many good people, including religious leaders, who are speaking out for love in the face of fear," Sanders wrote alongside the picture.

He continued, "Tennessee Equality Project is honoured and grateful to reveal Taylor Swift has made a donation of $113,000 to support our efforts at this critical moment."

Swift broke her usual apolitical stance just before the 2018 midterm elections in November last year when she posted a photo of herself on Instagram and urged her followers to vote.

"I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG," she wrote in her Instagram post then.

"I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin colour, gender or who they love. Vote based on who most closely represents your values," she had said.

According to Variety, the legislation being considered includes ones that allow private adoption agencies to raise religious and moral objections over prospective parents. Another one is aimed at transgender individuals, including one that requires the state to defend school districts that necessitate students to use the bathroom of their assigned sex at birth.

Pompeo to visit Japan, S.Korea on denuclearization this month

IANS  |  Washington

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is scheduled to visit Japan and South Korea later this month to discuss denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the State Department has announced.

Pompeo would join President Donald Trump to meet Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the Group of 20 (G20) Summit slated for June 28-29 in Osaka, Xinhua news agency quoted the Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus as saying at a briefing here on Monday.

Following the G20 Summit, Pompeo would accompany Trump to South Korea, where they will meet President Moon Jae-in on issues of denuclearization and bilateral alliance, according to Ortagus.

Before traveling to Japan and South Korea, the top US diplomat would visit India and Sri Lanka as the first two stops of his Asian trip scheduled for June 24-30.

The denuclearization negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington have been stalled since the second summit between North Korea's Kim Jong-un and Trump ended with no agreement in February in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.

Nepal parties to meet on Constitution drafting

Press Trust of India  |  Kathmandu

Nepal's ruling and opposition parties today agreed to convene a national conference next week to sort out differences over contentious issues in drafting the Constitution within the stipulated time-frame of January 22.

A meeting of the four-party taskforce today decided to convene the National Political Conference on September 16 as per the demand of the CPN-Maoist and some fringe parties that had boycotted the November's election.

The ruling parties -- Nepali Congress and CPN-UML -- have agreed to the demand put forth by the Maoist party for the proposed conference in order to motivate the dissenting parties to take part in the Constitution drafting process.

The taskforce included representatives from four political parties -- Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, UCPN-Maoist and CPN-Maoist.

The taskforce was assigned to finalise the date after a meeting of the four major parties held last week had failed to forge agreement on the date.

According to the Nepali Congress leader and Constituent Assembly member Amresh Kumar Singh, the meeting will be held in the Constituent Assembly building complex in Kathmandu.

According to Singh, all the political parties representing in the Constituent Assembly, that also functions as the Parliament and 33-party alliance led by CPN-Maoist will take part in the conference.

Nepal's Constituent Assembly has prepared a calendar to accomplish the task of promulgating the new Constitution by January 22 next year.

The Entrepreneur Club: Early March New Year Networking Event Review

By March 6, 2018 Business

Myself and my colleague, Ruby, attended the Entrepreneur Club: Early March New Year Networking Event on Thursday the 1st of March. The event was a meet up for professional individuals who are on their journey to achieving their entrepreneurial goals. It was organised to allow new entrepreneurs to connect with people on the same journey and share their stories.

The event was located at Spice Market in Collins Street. The venue was not the most suitable location, the lighting was very dim, there were not enough seats and the small area that the event was contained in made it awkward for people not currently in conversations to join existing ones.

Most of the people who attended were currently in-between jobs and were looking for positions. The rest of the crowd either worked in or owned a small business. Most people that myself and Ruby spoke to had an entrepreneurial idea that they wanted to develop in the future.

The event and conversations we had with the attendees taught us that there are many people with great ideas for start-ups that just require consulting to turn their light bulb moments into real and practical steps.

I would not re-attend this event. Although it was interesting to meet a diverse range of people, I did not enjoy the location, there was no food provided and I do not believe there was a synergy between the individuals.

Things of note:

  • Location: Spice Market
  • Highlight: Meeting new people
  • Cost: Free
  • Hot Tip: Eat beforehand!

  • Venue: 1 / 5
  • Catering: 0 / 5
  • Speaker: 0 / 5
  • Networking Opportunity: 1 / 5

Total: 2 / 20

Wal-Mart's supporters say that the retail giant brings much-needed jobs to depressed areas.

But an urban planner from Asheville, North Carolina found that Wal-Mart is much less beneficial than downtown businesses, according to the book " The Happy City."

Salon recently published an excerpt from the book.

Wal-Mart's main detriment is its location, the planner, Joseph Minicozzi explains. The supercenters are often located on the outskirts of town, in comparison with downtown businesses that often pay more in taxes based on location.

Minicozzi compares Wal-Mart's returns to those of a downtown JCPenney location:

"Adding up the property and sales tax paid on each piece of land, Minicozzi found that the Wal-Mart contributed only $50,800 to the city in retail and property taxes for each acre it used, but the JCPenney building contributed a whopping $330,000 per acre in property tax alone. In other words, the city got more than seven times the return for every acre on downtown investments than it did when it broke new ground out on the city limits."

Wal-Mart also provided fewer jobs than the JCPenney, according to "Happy City":

"The small businesses that occupied the old Penney's building employed fourteen people, which doesn't seem like many until you realize that this is actually seventy-four jobs per acre, compared with the fewer than six jobs per acre created on a sprawling Walmart site."

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan appeared to put on a united front about Jamal Khashoggi's case this week.
Amr Nabil/AP; Sean Gallup/Getty

  • Turkey has challenged Saudi Arabia's account of Jamal Khashoggi's killing for weeks through intelligence leaks and bold public statements.
  • But the two countries put on a united front this week.
  • Saudi Arabia has been trying to distance its leadership from the case, and Turkey this week appeared to follow this narrative.
  • Ankara and Riyadh's sharing the same playbook could absolve the Saudi crown prince from blame.

Turkey and Saudi Arabia appear to be sharing the same narrative on Jamal Khashoggi's killing, a playbook which could pave the way for the Saudi crown prince to walk away from the crisis unscathed.

Saudi officials have been focused on distancing its leadership from Khashoggi's death and combatting claims that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved in the operation.

Their main opponents had been Turkish officials, who challenged the Saudi account of Khashoggi's killing for weeks through intelligence leaks and bold public statements. Khashoggi was a Saudi national who died inside the country's consulate in Istanbul.

But this week, the tone changed. Turkish and Saudi leaders closed ranks, touted their close relationship, and led many to believe they are now cooperating on the matter.

It is impossible to know exactly what these leaders are thinking, and whether they are coordinating. But their behavior over the past week suggests, at the very least, a decision to go easy on one another.

The two countries have been running separate investigations into the killing. They first produced contradictory accounts of what happened, with Riyadh claiming that the journalist left the consulate alive, while the Turkish side asserted that he had died.

Reading the runes from Riyadh

Riyadh on Thursday took a step towards harmonizing its account with Ankara's. In a statement from its top prosecutors, the kingdom said Khashoggi's death appeared to be preplanned, and even went as far as name-checking the Turkish investigation.

The kingdom had acknowledged the death already, but initially claimed it was an accident, carried out by rogue agents. It added that it arrested 18 people, bolstering their claim that that killing was unauthorized, and warrants punishment.

Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, spent the week ramping up pressure on the culprits, but by shifting his rhetoric appeared to let the Saudi leadership off the hook.

On Tuesday Erdogan said he and Saudi King Salman discussed sharing intelligence on the death, another point of harmony between the nations. It also suggests that Erdogan does not suspect the Saudi monarchy personally.

He also steered clear of mentioning an alleged audio recording that Turkish officials claim to have of Khashoggi's reportedly brutal death. Hussein Ibish, a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf State Institute, said that if the recording exists it would be "Turkey's ace in the hole."

Other parties, including the US, have also not acknowledged the alleged recording, or published it, even though CIA Director Gina Haspel reportedly heard it this week.

Erdogan's embrace

On Friday Erdogan also made a public show of faith in Crown Prince Mohammed. According to Reuters he said he "told the crown prince" to find the 18 people behind the death — suggesting that he trusts his counterpart to deliver.

Erdogan also claimed to have more evidence from the killing, Reuters said, but added that he would not be "too hasty" in releasing it.

The less evidence that is public from the killing, the easier it will be for all sides to walk away with the current order more or less intact.

Crown Prince Mohammed chimed in too, claimed unity with Turkey in a major speech on Wednesday. Like Erdogan, he turned his ire off-stage, attacking unnamed critics instead.

In a rhetorical crescendo, to lengthy applause, he said: "Many are trying to use this painful thing to drive a wedge between Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

"I want to send them a message: They will not be able to do that as long as there is a king called Salman bin Abdulaziz, and a crown prince called Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia, and a president in Turkey called Erdogan.

Ibish, the Arab Gulf scholar, tweeted on Thursday: "Either Turkey & Saudi Arabia have done a deal, or Riyadh is trying to convince everyone that they have done a deal."

Crown Prince Mohammed, who has distanced himself from Khashoggi's killing, met the journalist's son in Riyadh this week.

The crown prince's way out?

If Turkey — the strongest voice in this investigation — continues not to implicate the Saudi leadership in its investigation, Saudi's crown prince could walk away from this crisis without censure.

The US — where Khashoggi lived before his death — and other countries have expressed concern about the crisis, but have stopped short of pointing fingers at the Saudi leadership.

President Donald Trump called Riyadh's reaction to Khashoggi's death " one of the worst in the history of cover-ups," but repeatedly refused to directly blame the Saudi leadership or cancel arms sales to the kingdom.

Indeed, he went as far as saying he "would love if he wasn't responsible," referring to Crown Prince Mohammed.

Legal experts said that Khashoggi's killing could lead to charges against Crown Prince Mohammed under international law, but that it wouldn't happen without the the Saudis' express approval.

The global community could place "some political and financial pressure for a few years," national security lawyer Bradley P. Moss told Business Insider this week, adding: "That is likely to be the extent of what occurs though."

donald trump tax cuts mitch mcdonnell paul ryan mike pence
President Donald J. Trump celebrates the passage of the Tax Cuts Act with Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on December 20, 2017.
White House/Joyce N. Boghosian

  • The GOP tax cuts and omnibus spending bill will push the deficit over $1 trillion next year, according to a report by the Congressional Budget Office.
  • The deficit will rise to $804 billion this year before jumping to $1 trillion in 2019.
  • The CBO also reports that economic growth will lower the unemployment rate below 4 percent.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The combined effects of President Trump's tax cuts and last month's budget-busting spending bill is sending the government's budget deficit toward the $1 trillion mark next year, according to a new analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.

The CBO report says that that the twin tax and spending bills will push the budget deficit to $804 billion this year and just under $1 trillion for the upcoming budget year.

CBO says economic growth from the tax cuts will add 0.7 percent on average to the nation's economic output over the coming decade. Those effects will only partially offset the deficit cost of the tax cuts. The administration had promised the cuts would pay for themselves.

Economic Effects of the 2017 Tax Act on Real GDP
Congressional Budget Office

The economic growth promises to drop the nationwide unemployment rate below 4 percent, CBO predicts.

The report paints an unrelentingly bleak picture of federal deficits, which would permanently breach the $1 trillion mark in 2020 unless Congress stems the burst of red ink. The government would borrow about 19 cents of every dollar it spend this year. Deficits would grow to $1.5 trillion by 2028 — and could exceed $2 trillion if the tax cuts are fully extended and if Washington doesn't cut spending.

Republicans controlling Washington have largely lost interest in taking on the deficit, and the issue has fallen in prominence in recent years. Trump has ruled out cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and Capitol Hill Republicans have failed to take steps against the deficit since Trump took office.

Now that conservatives complained about the $1.3 trillion catchall spending bill — which blew through previous budget limits by $300 billion over this year and next, House GOP leaders have scheduled a vote this week on a proposed amendment to the Constitution to require a balanced federal budget.

The vote is sure to fall well short of the two-thirds required to pass. The White House is also likely to propose rolling backing some of the domestic spending increases in last month's government-wide funding bill.

Many economists believe that if deficits continue to rise and the national debt grows, government borrowing will "crowd out" private lending and force up interest rates. And if interest rates go up, the government would have to pay much more to finance the more than $14 trillion in Treasury debt held by investors.

Asher Didn't Rape Tiffany At Trotter Lake On 'How To Get Away With Murder,' But He's Just As Responsible

In a perfect world, all of the students on How to Get Away with Murder would be going to school, making good grades, and pulling all-nighters. They wouldn't be covering up murders, exposing scandals, and revealing their deep, dark pasts. But, alas, here we are. In "I Want You To Die," fans finally learned how involved Asher was with Tiffany's gang rape at Trotter Lake. And, although he didn't personally rape Tiffany, his covering it up is just as problematic, which is what Bonnie has a huge problem with.

We learned early on in the episode that Asher wasn't a part of the rape of Tiffany at Trotter Lake. According to him, it was his party, but he was downstairs while the rape occurred upstairs. As we saw, Asher was making a really bad rap video at his lake house. Meanwhile, Tiffany was being assaulted by four men upstairs. According to Bonnie, Tiffany says everyone saw her leave crying. Asher said he was worried about her, so he told his father, which is when the cover-up happened. Because Asher's dad is awful. And, because Asher wasn't brave enough to stand up to him and do the right thing by reporting it.

We know that Bonnie has been through her own trauma as a child (she was molested by her father), so knowing that Asher was aware that a girl was raped by four guys and didn't say anything was probably heartbreaking for her. Up until then, Asher has been a good guy. He's a weird dancer, and sometimes he can say the wrong thing at the wrong time, but that's why we loved him. Now that we know he went along with the cover-up his dad orchestrated, he's not so good anymore. Because he chose to not say something, he is also responsible for what Tiffany went through. He acted cowardly in a situation where he could have stood up for someone.

As for the future of Bonnie and Asher, it seems that this is causing a speed bump in their relationship. Bonnie is upset that Asher wouldn't do the right thing in the situation, rightly so. But, the amount of attention this secret is getting could be the reason that Asher goes to the cops in the flash forward. Perhaps his guilt has gotten the best of him and he finally wants to turn in those that participated in the rape. He might not be the good guy, but he can maybe try to not be the bad guy.

Billy Eicher Isn't Pleased With Burger King For An Ad That Looks Awfully Familiar — VIDEO

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when you're a comedian and the thing being imitated is your act? Yeaah, that's not something that's often taken as flattery. For example: Billy Eichner's now feuding with Burger King, accusing them of ripping off his schtick for one of their new commercials. I guess you can tell when you've made it big when your feuds start making headlines in Entertainment Weekly?

Eichner, whose act often manifests with him as a man on the street (awesomely) accosting strangers with questions and yelling, called the fast food chain on their lack of imagination via twitter. "Hey @BurgerKing-thanks for stealing my act for ur new commercial!! Except its not as funny & everyone knows u stole it. GET YOUR OWN IDEAS," the Billy On the Street creator wrote.

He then called for his fans to join in the campaign against the company: "Please tweet @BurgerKing & tell them to stop stealing from #BillyOntheStreet. Then I'm going over there & I'm gonna FLAME BROIL HIS DICK."

Side note: "Flame broil his dick" is now a phrase I am going to use, and I sincerely hope someone turns it into a band name.

Hilariously, McDonalds joined in on the convo:

'AHS: Freak Show' Villains Dandy Mott & Stanley Could Join Forces & Make This a Real Horror Story

Remember the days when we all thought that the antagonist of FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show was a masked clown named Twisty? Little did we know that the scariest clown since Tim Curry put on a red nose would turn out to have a tear-jerking backstory, and then be carted off to the afterlife by Wes Bentley's emo demon Edward Mordrake. Twisty's absence left quite the villain-void on the show, but two very different men have eagerly stepped into his vacated position: AHS newcomer Finn Wittrock as pampered manchild Dandy Mott, and AHS veteran Denis O'Hare as unscrupulous conman Stanley.

Dandy wasted no time in literally stepping into Twisty's shoes, donning the dead clown's mask and killing his maid, and then a poor unsuspecting hustler (played by White Collar's Matt Bomer). And the fact that Jimmy is in the Mott home looking for Bette and Dot Tattler, and his maid's daughter Regina is probably on her way there to looking for her missing mom, things look like they're only going to get more complicated for the budding serial killer.

As for Stanley, his endeavors to earn a quick payday by procuring the body of a freak have thus far proved fruitless. Though we've seen him and his partner Maggie offing various members of Fraulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities in their imaginations (including Bette and Dot, Paul the Illustrated Seal, and the adorable Ma Petite), so far he hasn't actually managed to kill any of them — unless those fantasies were really flash-forwards, that is...

Considering that both of these men are gunning for the freaks, albeit in different ways, isn't it only a matter of time before they team up to take them down together? Dandy's obsession with Elsa's sideshow seemed to take a backseat for a couple of episodes while he developed his killer instincts, but now that Jimmy — the man who devastated Dandy by turning down his offer to join the circus, remember — is back in his line of sight, we may be about to see his murderous compulsions focus once more on the freaks.

And Dandy may be just the ally that Stanley needs. So far he's been frustrated in his attempts to get Maggie to kill any of the freaks. She backed out of drowning Ma Petite in a butterfly jar and balked at the idea of cutting off Jimmy's lobster hands. If Stanley were to discover that there was someone else in Jupiter, Fla. who was happy to help the freaks shuffle off this mortal coil, he probably wouldn't hesitate to replace his ineffective partner-in-crime.

So what might cause Dandy and Stanley's paths to cross? Maybe Dandy will kill one of the freaks, and when Stanley hears that it wasn't Maggie's doing, he'll seek out the real culprit. Or maybe Dandy will happen to overhear Stanley and Maggie discussing their plan at some point and offer his assistance. (This does seem like the more likely scenario, since Stanley apparently has no qualms with talking about murdering people while standing ten feet away from his intended victims inside a tent made out of thin fabric that is definitely not soundproof.)

We've seen six of Season 4's 13 episodes, which means we're barely halfway through Freak Show. There's plenty of time for the season's two Big Bads to team up. I just have one word of advice for Stanley about enlisting the help of a psychotic serial killer: if you play with fire, you're going to get burned. The conman better be careful that his plan doesn't backfire, or he may end up the one ensconced in a jar of formaldehyde.

8 Haunted Hotels You Can Stay In Right Now

Mario Tama/Getty Images News/Getty Images

People go on vacation for all kinds of reasons: they need to rest and recharge; they want to experience adventure; or maybe they want to see something new and different. If you like your vacations with an emphasis on the latter two, you might consider a pilgrimage to a haunted hotel. Hotels all over the world have popped up in buildings with terrifying or odd histories, and claim their gory pasts as a way to attract people keen to lie in high thread-count sheets and feel terrified all night. Whether you prefer your ghosts anonymous or famous, corporeal or simply gusts of wind and weird clunking noises, there's somewhere in the world for you.

"Ghost hotels" aren't actually all that new. People have been fascinated by staying in places that allegedly have resident phantoms for centuries. Spiritual "seances" and other practices became highly popular in the 19th century, and contact with the spirit world was fashionable AF. From that period onward, we've seen a room with a view as about as valuable as a room with a decent in-house ghost. Europe is particularly good for hotels with dark pasts — castles in particular are a good pick — but the U.S. has its own home-grown places with haunted histories. So wherever you want to lay your head, be prepared to pick up a room key and feel a strange chill in the air.

1. Holt Hotel, UK

KnownUnknowns on YouTube

If you want to get a dose of the supernatural in the UK, the Holt Hotel in Oxfordshire is a good bet. Like many other British hotels it claims a bit of ghost pedigree, but it happens to be a romantic one: it's supposed to be haunted by the ghost of highwayman Claude Duvall, who's supposed to have murdered many people in the hotel in its past as an inn.

Book here.

2. Hotel Burchianti, Italy

neilmcgfilm on Twitter

The Burchianti in Florence is one of the country's most haunted, according to legend. Phantoms include skipping children and knitting women, though if you're just creeped out by history without any extras, you may simply get a crawling feeling from the fact that dictator Benito Mussolini reportedly once stayed here.

Book here.

3. The Heathman Hotel, Oregon

heathmanportland on Instagram

The Heathman doesn't claim to have distinguished resident ghosts; the hauntings there are more inconvenient, in the manner of temperature drops and odd noises. Fortunately, it's in Portland, so the overall aura of 'weird' doesn't make it stand out too much.

Book here.

4. Amberley Castle, UK

amberleycastle on Twitter

Can you do better for hauntings than a castle? Not in Amberley, where the resident medieval castle apparently hosts a particularly tragic ghost: a serving-woman who jumped off the battlements after she became pregnant by a bishop, and now wanders the halls. True? No idea. Spooky? Yep.

Book here.

5. Place d’Armes Hotel, New Orleans

Ghost Tourist Club on YouTube

New Orleans has a definitively otherworldly feel at the best of times, but the Place d'Armes in the French Quarter beats everything else on the list. It's reportedly the home of a swathe of phantoms, because it used to be a school that burned down in the 19th century, allegedly consuming children and teachers. Cue creepy children's laughter, strange bearded gentlemen and other decidedly supernatural experiences.

Book here.

6. The Chelsea Hotel, New York

The Chelsea is famous full stop, hosting everybody from Patti Smith to Robert Mapplethorpe in its dissolute history. But the legendary haunt for many of the 20th century's most famous dissipated artists in NYC is also alleged to be haunted by the ghost of Sid Vicious, who died here, and, oddly, the poet Dylan Thomas. Ten points if you get that apparition to recite anything before he disappears.

Book here.

7. Q Station Retreat, Australia

qstationmanly on Twitter

Sydney's history as a penal colony lends itself to many colorful ghost stories, and Q Station, which was originally a quarantine station for contagious prisoners, has a horrific past independent of any spooky additions. The isolated hotel was less a hospital than a place for incurable cases to die quietly without infecting anybody, so don't expect to feel completely at home.

Book here.

8. Parador Jaén, Spain

tartessoslt on Twitter

Forget Pamplona's bull-goring; the true blood and guts of Spanish history are reportedly found in Parador Jaén, a fortress in Andalusia built in the 1700s. It's reported to be haunted by everything from a winsome female ghost to a prisoner who died of hunger. He's named, for some reason, Terrible Lizard, and isn't thought to be threatening, but it's hardly a settling experience.

Book here.

If you're down to spend your PTO among the undead, these are some pretty clutch places to do it. Don't forget to Instagram your ghost-hunting gear.
