Wondering what goes on inside the head of an interior designer?
The Block and Reno Rumble personality, Carlene Duffy, explains 5 ways an interior professional thinks differently to a client.
When someone engages an interior professional for their makeover, new build or renovation, they are choosing that particular designer because they can relate to their design aesthetic. But unless a client trusts their design consultant implicitly, there will absolutely be times where they don’t see eye to eye.
There will be times where a client will be surprised by what their consultant places importance on and how they believe cash should be spent. It’s a back and forth, give and take process. Here are a few things an interior professional wants clients to know, to appreciate where their differences lie. This will help steer clients towards a favourable outcome whilst still being in control of their design choices and everybody wins.
1. Interior professionals want to cater to their client (not for the person who may buy it in 10 years)
While it’s certainly not bad advice to consider re-sale when designing or making over your home, many home owners make the mistake of letting this consideration dictate all their design choices.
Catering to a broad market in your own home design can quickly leave a home devoid of character and personality. It can also prompt home owners to make “safe” choices, such as an all-white kitchen, generic lighting choices and white walls galore (which are all perfectly acceptable if done for the right reasons).
Instead, a consultant will urge their client to make educated choices that generate excitement and make their client’s heart sing. The fact is, no one knows who will want to buy your home in 10-15 years’ time so your space should be right for you now and in the near future.
In saying that, of course, avoid making controversial structural decisions that would be costly to change if re-sale is in your 5-year plan.
2. Your interior expert may push for more colour
Because many people are scared of colour in their homes and most especially, colour on their walls, home owners tend to want to use it in small bursts.
A home owner might be thinking that they can incorporate colour by painting a feature wall a deep navy or charcoal, which may be completely acceptable depending on the wall. But in many cases, feature walls can appear outdated and can also present as fear (fear of too much). So if the space warrants it, a designer may suggest all four walls be painted or none at all - this can make many clients wary.
Similarly, where many would think to introduce colour into their home through soft furnishings such as their cushions and throws, a designer might push for a whole sofa in emerald green, powder blue or sage. Only the boldest of clients would entertain these suggestions without some encouragement.
But you know what they say - there’s nothing more attractive than confidence.
3. Grey floor tiles and white tiled walls in the bathroom may make your interior professional yawn
Yes, the grey tiled floor and white tiled walls in bathrooms have been tried and tested but also done to death. The combination became very popular about 10 years ago. To a designer, it shows a lack of imagination and effort and can really make for a very pedestrian bathroom.
So an interior professional may encourage creating interest and contrast by leaving a wall or two untiled and instead painting the plasterboard a colour of choice or cladding it with timber vertical paneling.
They may also suggest creating interest and texture through a large splashing of mosaics or creating an interesting pattern with some subway tiles in all four walls. Home owners can become easily scared in bathrooms because the cost of tiles and tilers is not cheap. But multiple materials can work very successfully even in small rooms such as bathrooms. Have faith.
4. An interior expert may want bigger items
Similarly to how many home owners can be frightened of colour on their walls, upscaling items in the home can also be very daunting for many. But as our backyards become smaller, our houses become larger and it is important that the items in your home are proportionally appropriate.
Rugs in homes everywhere are too small. Other items that tend to be scaled down by home owners are headboards, art, mirrors, and pendants. It’s important that items in the home aren’t dwarfed by the height of the ceilings and the size of the spaces in question. So in many cases, an interior professional will advise to think bigger than most would normally dare.
Bigger also costs more no matter what it is, and clients can be deterred by the price of larger versions. But this isn’t an area to scrimp on because a too-small sofa, rug or piece of art can compromise the success of your space.
5. Clients may say old fashioned, designers will say refined, sophisticated and timeless
Unless a home owner is an interior enthusiast, there may be a few fixtures and furnishings in the home that they might consider old fashioned when an interior consultant would call it refined and timeless.
For instance, an interior consultant will likely specify door handles that are slim-line with rounded profiles, probably in a polished silver. However not so long ago for a modern scheme, it was brushed chrome with square edges that were the accessory of choice when it came to tapware, door hardware, sinks and cabinet handles.
Likewise, tufted upholstery has long been associated with classical or country interior schemes. It may be difficult for a client to accept it when their consultant advises that the design is making a mark on modern interiors, contributing style and sophistication.
Some final thoughts
An interior design expert will push limits because they want their client to step outside their comfort zone. Deep down, the client will want to be pushed because otherwise they probably wouldn’t have engaged a professional in the first place.
In saying that, a client should always voice their concerns so that their consultant has the opportunity to rationalise their theory before the final call is made. If it’s not interesting and challenging, it’s probably not worth doing.

Solanesol has antibacterial,anticancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer biological activities, and is a key intermediate for the synthesis of coenzyme Q10, vitamin K2, and anti-cancer synergist SDB and other ubiquinone drugs. Due to its unique chemical structure, solanesol is currently mainly isolated from Solanaceae plants. Tobacco has the highest content of solanesol compared to other Solanaceae plants.At present, the research on the extraction of solanesol from tobacco focuses on extraction and purification. Starting with the extraction and purification of solanesol, the extraction methods, saponification, separation and purification methods and research progress of solanesol from tobacco at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed. The analyses show that the organic solvent extraction method takes a long time and the extraction rate is low. Modern technology-assisted extraction methods such as ultrasound-assisted extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, and supercritical CO2 extraction cannot only improve the extraction rate but also effectively shorten the extraction time. In order to meet the purity requirements of synthetic drugs, the separation and purification of solanesol from the extracting solution is a crucial step and is also the key to restrict large-scale industrial production of high-purity solanesol. Molecularly imprinted technology has the advantages of small investment, simple operation and large scale production compared with chromatography.Solanesol separated by this method can meet the requirement of synthesizing coenzyme Q10. Nowadays, the synthesis of molecularly imprinted solanesol polymers with better adsorption efficiency is one of the important directions in the future research of solanesol purification.

Nearly a year and a half after news broke that Volkswagen had programmed its diesel vehicles to cheat on emissions tests, the German automaker has settled the last major U.S. case related to the scandal. Automotive News reports that VW has agreed to pay at least $1.2 billion to compensate owners who bought vehicles with 3.0-liter V6 TDI engines.
Owners will be able to choose either a repair or a buyback. The former will earn between $7000 and $16,000, while the latter is gets $7500 on top of the value of the vehicle. Owners who choose to have their vehicle fixed will get an additional $500 if the fix impacts performance.
That initial $1.2-billion estimate, however, is based on the assumption that regulators will approve a fix for many of the affected engines. If not, VW will be forced to buy back the ones that can't be fixed, potentially pushing the total cost well north of $4 billion.
The settlement affects nearly 80,000 vehicles built between 2009 and 2016, including the Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Cayenne, and Audi Q7. Audi's diesel-engined A6, A7, and A8 are also included. At the moment, however, it looks like only 2013 and newer vehicles will be eligible to be fixed.
The same day, software supplier Bosch agreed to pay $327.5 million in owner compensation for the role it played in the scandal. Owners of 2.0-liter diesels will get their share of $163.3 million, while 3.0-liter owners will divide the remaining $113.3 million. For 3.0-liter owners, that works out to about $1500 each.
While owners might not be familiar with the name, Bosch is the company that supplied Volkswagen with the engine control software it used on the cheating diesels. Despite accusations that it was a "knowing and active participant" in VW's scheme, the supplier admitted no fault in the settlement.


Bob Ainsworth is due to face MPs over the latest developments in Afghanistan and the “tough choices” faced by the UK’s military in the future.
He will give evidence to the defence select committee a day after the UK death toll in Afghanistan exceeded that of the Falklands war.
And he will also be grilled over the details of a blueprint for the medium and long-term operation of the armed forces set out in a Green Paper last week.
Mr Ainsworth said on Monday that Britain must hold its resolve in Afghanistan as allies prepared to launch a major new offensive against insurgents in central Helmand.
“We have seen an intense, hard and bloody period in Afghanistan but, as we prepare to consolidate our progress with the launch of Operation Moshtarak, it is imperative that we hold our resolve. The national security of the UK and the safety of its citizens depends on that,” he said.
He had previously warned that British casualties were a “very real risk” during the bid to clear militants from areas surrounding the town of Marjah in Helmand.
A total of 256 British servicemen and women have now died since operations in Afghanistan began in October 2001. The latest casualty, a soldier from 36 Engineer Regiment, part of the counter-IED Task Force, was killed on Monday by an explosion in Nad-e-Ali, Afghanistan, said the Ministry of Defence. Next-of-kin have been informed.
The Green Paper, which laid the ground for a full-scale strategic defence review after the general election, indicated that Britain’s Armed Forces will have to co-operate more closely in future with international allies such as France to provide the full range of defence capabilities.
The paper did not refer to the future of specific programmes – apart from confirming the decision to go ahead with the £20 billion update of Britain’s Trident nuclear deterrent. But Mr Ainsworth said the “likelihood” was that the Royal Navy would still get its two planned new aircraft carriers, although he refused to be drawn on American-built Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) intended to fly from them.
The immediate priority for the forces remained the campaign in Afghanistan, with funding from the Treasury reserve set to increase from £3.5 billion this year to £5 billion next year, he said.


LG Q8 Appears to Be Smaller Variant of the V20
LG's Italian web site recently provided details about an unannounced handset called the Q8. The Q8 appears to be a less-expensive, smaller version of the LG V20. The Q8 does not carryover the 2:1 aspect ratio or FullVision display of the new Q series, such as the Q6, which was announced earlier this month. Instead, the Q8 boasts a metal body with a 5.2-inch quad HD display and second screen for alerts and other action items. Other features include a Snapdragon 820 processor with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, 3,000mAh battery, stereo headphone jack and USB-C. Like the V20, the Q8 has a dual-camera configuration and rear-mounted fingerprint reader. The main camera has a 13-megapixel sensor with 78-degree lens at f/1.8 and optical image stabilization, while the secondary shooter has an 8-megapixel sensor with 135-degree lens at f/2.4 for wide-angle shots. Both sensors can take advantage of the dual LED flash. The front camera has a wide-angle, 5-megapixel sensor. Other specs include Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, WiFi, LTE 4G, and an IP67 rating for protection against water ingress. The LG Q8 will be sold in European markets soon. LG's U.S. press team would not comment on the phone's potential availability in North America.

Essendon are in turmoil after 12 members of their squad were banned for the 2016 AFL season when the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) found 34 past and present players guilty of breaching anti-doping regulations.
The AFL and Essendon were rocked on Tuesday when CAS announced it had upheld an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after the 34 were initially cleared of any wrongdoing by an AFL anti-doping appeals tribunal.
CAS were "comfortably satisfied" that the current and former players were administered Thymosin beta-4, which violated the anti-doping code during the 2012 season, with the majority of the players in question banned until November.
The ruling is set to leave Essendon starved of the services of captain Jobe Watson, Dyson Heppell, Michael Hurley, Cale Hooker, Michael Hibberd and Brent Stanton.
Travis Colyer, David Myers, Tom Bellchambers, Heath Hocking, Ben Howlett and Tayte Pears will also sit out the 2016 campaign, with former Essendon players Paddy Ryder, Angus Monfries, Stewart Crameri, Jake Carlisle and Jake Melksham also banned and half of the 34 no longer playing in the AFL.
A CAS statement said: "The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has today issued its decision in the arbitration procedure between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and 34 current and former players of Essendon.
"The appeal filed by WADA against the Australian Football League (AFL) Anti-Doping Tribunal's decision of 31 March 2015 is upheld and the appealed decision is set aside.
"The 34 players concerned are sanctioned with a period of ineligibility of two years, commencing on 31 March 2015, with credit given for any individual period of ineligibility already served.
"Thus, most of the suspensions will come to an end in November 2016.
"The arbitration procedure was conducted by a panel of CAS arbitrators: the Hon. Michael J. Beloff QC, barrister in London, United Kingdom [President], Mr. Romano Subiotto QC, Solicitor Advocate in Brussels, Belgium, and the Hon. James Spigelman AC QC, barrister in Sydney, Australia and London, United Kingdom.
"The Panel held a hearing with the parties in Sydney, Australia from 16 to 20 November 2015. In its Arbitral Award, the Panel found to its comfortable satisfaction that Clause 11.2 of the 2010 AFL Doping Code [use of a prohibited substance] has been violated and found by a majority that all players were significantly at fault."
Essendon responded to the verdict with a short statement on their website saying the club are "currently digesting the decision" and will provide an update later in the day.

Final Environmental Impact Report Released for Possible New A’s Stadium Ballpark
OAKLAND POST — “Releasing the final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) is a major milestone on our path to build a new waterfront ballpark district that will create up to 18 acres of beautiful public parks, more affordable housing, and good jobs for Oaklanders,” Mayor Schaaf said in a statement. “The 3,500-page document is thorough and exhaustive, and it ensures that the project is environmentally safe and sustainable,” said Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf
Draft Report not amended to address community concerns, short timeline means minimal public input
By Keith Burbank, Bay City News and the Post News Group staff
Oakland officials have released a final environmental impact report for the A’s proposed new stadium and development at Howard Terminal, a process with a short timeline over the holidays allowing only for minimal public comment.
The report is required by the California Environmental Quality Act and analyzes potential effects of the project on the surrounding environment.
The timing of the release of the port was of concern to many. It was released on Friday, a week before Christmas, and goes to the Planning Commission mid-January, a small window of time during a busy time of year for the public to read and comment on the report.
Further, the final report does not include any significant changes to the draft version, which means it was not amended to consider more than 400 comments made on the draft version. However, city staff did respond to each comment.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, a strong supporter of Oakland A’s owner John Fisher’s stadium deal, was enthusiastic about the report.
“Releasing the final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) is a major milestone on our path to build a new waterfront ballpark district that will create up to 18 acres of beautiful public parks, more affordable housing, and good jobs for Oaklanders,” Mayor Schaaf said in a statement. “The 3,500-page document is thorough and exhaustive, and it ensures that the project is environmentally safe and sustainable,” Schaaf said.
The mayor said the report’s timing keeps the city on track to bring about the final vote to the city council in 2022, bringing the city “one step close to keeping our beloved A’s rooted in Oakland.”
Others were less enthusiastic. The East Oakland Stadium Alliance and port business leaders are raising concerns and urging caution.
“During the Draft EIR (Environmental Impact Report) phase, our coalition and others submitted detailed comments regarding the need for the city to revise and recirculate the Draft EIR, which was inadequate on numerous fronts, but it appears the city has chosen to ignore these requests and refused to re-circulate,” Mike Jacob, Vice President and General Counsel of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association in a press release from the East Oakland Stadium Alliance.
Jacob also said that the timing of the report, released just before the holidays, reads like the city playing “hard-ball” with the community. “Port stakeholders are working around the clock to keep goods moving during an unprecedented supply chain crisis and community advocates are focusing on issues like feeding and housing those in need,” he said.
Jacobs also decried the city’s lack of progress on Seaport Compatibility Measures or a Community Benefits Agreement, despite the challenges he says the project presents for the maritime and West Oakland communities. “Until these items are presented to the public for review, in addition to a thoroughly vetted financial plan, the City and County cannot in good faith make judgments about whether this project is worth the numerous costs to our taxpayers and community,” he said.
“We ultimately anticipate the FEIR will confirm what we already know: the A’s and the City are simply not interested in funding the significant investments necessary to prevent this project’s disruption to the Port of Oakland’s supply chain or address its significant negative impacts to West Oakland and the environment.”
A’s president Dave Kaval also called the release of the report a milestone, one that is three years in the making. But the team needs a decision from the elected officials in Oakland as soon as possible, he said.
Keeping the pressure on Oakland, the A’s are also still considering moving the team to Las Vegas, paving paths for the team in both cities. He said there is momentum on both paths.
Kaval said the A’s are in the final stages of selecting a potential site in Las Vegas, which he thinks will be announced in the next month or so.
City officials will recommend to the Oakland Planning Commission that it certify the report and send it to the city council for approval.
City officials and the A’s are now negotiating the final agreements. The Planning Commission will take up the city’s recommendation on Jan. 19, and the city council may vote on the report in February, which, if approved, would complete the environmental review process.

Just minutes after the release of Final Fantasy XIV’s Endwalker early access, players have already lined up to be one of the first people to start playing the expansion around the world. However, it seems these players have encountered a slight problem as the login queues are reaching up to 5,000 players in just the first 15 minutes of the launch. Some Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker players are being kicked out of the queue due to an error 2002 message saying, “The lobby server connection has encountered an error.”
Players have gone on Twitter and Reddit to start sharing memes about the Final Fantasy 14 Error 2002, poking fun at the fact that they are stuck in an endless loop of queueing up only to get disconnected once they reach a certain point. Despite the game releasing at 4 a.m ET in North America, the region is experiencing long queue timers due to the congestion of servers.
How to fix Final Fantasy 14 Error 2002 “The lobby server connection has encountered an error”
The Final Fantasy 14 Error 2002 occurs when the login servers are experiencing congestion due to many players attempting to connect simultaneously. There is a good chance this continues throughout the release and into December.
Data Centers also can only support 17,000 players in the login queue. The cap is in place to ensure players can eventually get staggered into the server and can play the game. Otherwise, the servers could completely crash, and there would be no server to play on for a brief time. North American data centers consist of eight servers, while EU servers have six.
To resolve this issue, players should practice patience and not spam the login servers. There is nothing players can do on their end to magically skip the queue and begin playing. Everyone will need to wait their turn in the queue.
Final Fantasy XIV developers stated a week ago that they have optimized the servers in preparation for the arrival of Endwalker. However, they warned that players might still experience longer queue times. They also mentioned that they failed to create new worlds (servers) due to a shortage in semiconductors globally which would have helped address the problem of congested servers.
Despite the chaos that came with its release, players who managed to get in are already having a fantastic time doing the new quests and exploring the new areas in the expansion. If you’re looking for a review on whether or not Endwalker will be worth buying, you may have to wait a few more days until the players and critics have played the game enough to formulate a well-grounded opinion on the expansion.

We observed that caregivers for children reported fewer hours exercise and walking, but more hours of housework, than those who did not have responsibility to care for children. We observed no association between caregiving for adults under age 65 or adults aged 65 and older and exercise or walking. Caring for adults under age 65 was associated with a significant increase in hours spent gardening, and caring for adults aged 65 and older was associated with a significant increase in hours spent performing housework.
Our observation that caregiving for children was negatively associated with exercise and walking corresponds to findings of previous studies. A literature review conducted in 2008 reported a large effect of parenthood on LTPA(4). More recently, several cross-sectional and prospective studies have reported similar effects(5–9, 19). Our study adds to the literature on this topic, which has received disproportionately scant research considering the size of the effect(4).
While caregiving for children was negatively associated with exercise and walking, it was positively associated with housework. Similarly, caring for adults was positively associated with gardening and housework, but not associated with exercise or walking. Our findings are supported by some previous studies. For instance, Fredman et al(12) reported less LTPA, but similar overall physical activity, among older spouse caregivers compared to non-caregivers. The observation that caregiving can have differential effects on different components of LTPA has several implications for research and intervention. Using combined measures of LTPA may lead to misclassification, preventing us from understanding the true effects of caregiving on LTPA components. For example, there has been increasing understanding that physical activities other than exercise can also have health-promoting benefits, and some housework and gardening type activities were mentioned as counting towards meeting the physical activity recommendations in the updated guidelines (1). So, it is possible that the greater duration of gardening or housework observed among caregivers may help to promote their health. However, tasks such as gardening and housework also increase physical load, which might increase risk for some health conditions(12). By understanding the effects of caregiving on LTPA components, we can develop better, targeted interventions.
In this study we chose to separately analyze the effects of caregiving for younger (< 65) and older (65+) adults on LTPA components. We observed several differences – caring for adults under age 65 was only associated with a significant increase in hours spent gardening, while caring for adults aged 65 and older was only associated with a significant increase in hours spent performing housework. Differences in these two populations of caregivers may help to explain the differences in findings. For example, among participants reporting responsibility to care for adults under age 65, 35% indicated that the care recipient was a spouse, compared to only 7% of those reporting responsibility to care for adults aged 65 and older. Similarly, among participants reporting responsibility to care for adults under age 65, 66% indicated that the care recipient lived with them, compared to only 32% of those reporting responsibility to care for adults aged 65 and older. Our findings have implications for interventions, further supporting the need to tailor interventions to specific populations that may have different needs.
We did not consider occupational physical activity in our analyses. Our study consisted of manufacturing workers, a population that generally is considered to have high levels of activity during work(20). However, the type of activities performed during work differ from LTPA in several ways. For example, occupational physical activity is generally of too low intensity and long duration for maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness, includes heavy lifting and static postures, is performed without sufficient recovery time, and is performed without worker control(21). As a result, occupational activity tends to not confer the same health-promoting benefits as LTPA.
We found some associations between work-related factors and LTPA. Having higher schedule control was associated with greater exercise, gardening, and housework. Schedule control was chosen as a proxy for worker’s occupational status(22). Higher workplace physical demands were associated with greater gardening and housework. This finding especially may have health implications, as workplace physical demands, gardening, and housework all increase physical load, which might increase risk for some health conditions(12).
The results of this study must be considered in light of the study’s strengths and limitations. As a strength of this study, we considered several components of LTPA, and found different effects of caregiving on, for example, exercise and walking compared to gardening or housework. A primary limitation of this study is the self-reported measure participants used to recall activities (modified version of the EPIC physical activity questionnaire (17)), which may introduce recall or other biases that could influence our results, and do not provide a complete picture of activity. Most other studies have used self-reported measures for activity as well (10, 12). However, future studies would benefit from using direct measurements such as through accelerometry to provide more detailed, continuous, and direct assessments of activity. Another limitation of this study that should be considered is potential confounding of our results by age. We did adjust for age in our analyses, and observed significant associations between age and exercise and gardening. We also know that age is associated with caregiving, with younger individuals more likely to be caring for children and older individuals more likely to be caring for adults. In secondary analyses (not presented) we stratified our population by age and found similar results to those presented here.
Promoting LTPA among caregivers is beneficial for many reasons. Physically, there are many known health benefits to increased LTPA(1). LTPA also has psychological benefits and has been proposed as an intervention to help counteract some of the stress of caregiving(23). In addition, parental physical activity influences children physical activity(24).

House of Fraser and Superdrug buck the festive high-street sales slump
House of Fraser enjoyed a 5.3 per cent rise in like-for-like sales in the six weeks to 2 January compared to a year earlier, new figures reveal.
The department store's online sales on Black Friday jumped 40 per cent compared to 12 months ago, making it their biggest ever day of online trading.
Separately, high-street chain Superdrug also fared well over the festive period, posting a 6.8 per cent jump in like-for-like sales in the five weeks to 2 January, helped by the mild weather - unlike many of its peers.
Strong sales: House of Fraser enjoyed a 5.3 per cent rise in like-for-like sales in the six weeks to 2 January compared to a year earlier, new figures reveal
Nigel Oddy, chief executive of House of Fraser, said: 'This year, we saw a very strong start to the key Christmas season with Black Friday being particularly strong online, with sales up 40 per cent on the year - our biggest online day ever.
'Our stores have also performed well over the festive period, in particular our recently refurbished stores which showed strong growth in the final week before Christmas.'
Meanwhile, privately-owned Superdrug said sales of cosmetics were particularly strong, with the mild weather prompting a 20 per cent surge in the sale of bronzing products in the run up to Christmas compared to a year earlier.
Fragrance sales increased 12 per cent year-on-year, while cosmetic brands including Maybelline, Gosh and MakeUp Revolution also proved popular.
Peter Macnab, Superdrug's managing director, said: 'This Christmas we concentrated on offering customers as many reasons as possible to shop at Superdrug - from market-leading prices to a wealth of free gifts.'
A strong look: Health and beauty chain Superdrug posted strong Christmas trading as festive party-goers were determined to look their best before heading out
During the Christmas period, Superdrug gave away a free teddy bear to customers who spent £30 or more on fragrances.
Throughout the year, the number of customers using the retailer's loyalty card scheme increased from five million to seven million.
The chain said over the last quarter of its year it opened four new stores, with the most recent being at Edinburgh Airport, the first airside pharmacy for the firm. Superdrug said it plans to open 20 new stores this year.
Superdrug, which currently runs over 850 stores across the UK, is part of international health and beauty group AS Watson, which runs more than 12,000 stores in 24 markets, and is owned by Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison Holdings and Singapore sovereign wealth fund Temasek.

Britain's biggest health and beauty retailer, Boots - part of US giant Walgreen's Boots Alliance - reported a mixed first quarter for 2016 (which ended on 30 November 2015) earlier this month, with sales predictions mixed but a steady earnings forecast.
Sales at Boots grew by 48.5 per cent to £19.9billion, but fell short of the £20.04billion expected by analysts.
While Superdrug and House of Fraser reported strong sales over the pre-festive period, other high street retailers have suffered.
Last week, both Next and Marks & Spencer posted dips in trading over Christmas, while Sports Direct revealed on Friday that it expects full-year profits to come in around £40million lower than expected.
On the back of poor sales figures, Marks & Spencer chief executive, Marc Bolland revealed he will be stepping down from the top job at the retailer in April.

Department of Justice Reports Increase of Rape, Sexual Assault, and Domestic Violence in US
According to a new Department of Justice (DOJ) report, the rates of rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence in the United States have soared over the past two years. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), a biannual report from the DOJís Office of Justice Programs, estimated at least 248,300 rapes and sexual assaults occurred in 2007, a 25 percent increase from 2005 levels. Estimates of domestic violence incidents rose by 42 percent between 2005 and 2007.
Incidence of rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence increased the most of all violent crimes since 2005, while reported rates of most violent crimes, including robbery and aggravated assault, decreased.
The Office of Justice Programs used revised methods to collect data for the 2007 report, which may account for some of the differences from the 2005 analysis. In a Human Rights Watch statement, researcher Sarah Tofte said, "The new numbers indicate that previously, the government significantly underestimated the number of individuals affected by domestic and sexual violence in this country. Authorities should urgently adjust public policies, law enforcement, and provision of support services accordingly."

11/25/2014 Marissa Alexander Has Accepted a Plea Deal - Marissa Alexander, the woman imprisoned for firing a warning shot in the presence of her abusive husband, chose to accept a plea deal Monday with the state of Florida, pleading guilty to three felony counts of aggravated assault.
As part of the plea deal, Alexander received three years imprisonment, but she will be credited for the time she's spent behind bars. . . .
11/24/2014 The City of Louisville Has Overwhelmingly Approved a CEDAW Resolution - The city of Louisville, Kentucky approved a resolution that will use the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) as a framework for all future policy aimed at ending gender-based discrimination.
Councilwoman Tina Ward-Pugh introduced the resolution, which passed overwhelmingly on November 6. . . .


The transnational nature of the threat posed by radiological and nuclear terrorism demands urgent attention. In order to mitigate and counteract this looming threat, a coordinated response from Member States and the international community must be put in place. The activities leading to acts of terrorism involving nuclear or other radioactive material will often take place across numerous countries. Therefore, effective international cooperation in criminal matters is required to investigate and prosecute these cases. UNODC offers Member States assistance to become party to and implement important international legal instruments that offer vital tools to address this threat.
On 25-27 February 2020, UNODC and the Government of Barbados co-hosted, in Bridgetown, a regional workshop for selected CARICOM countries on the universalization and effective implementation of the 2005 International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism (ICSANT), the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) and its 2005 Amendment (ACPPNM).
The regional workshop was opened by Senator Dr. Honourable Jerome Walcott, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Barbados, H.E. Ms Marie Legault, High Commissioner of Canada in Barbados, Mr Didier Trebucq, UN Resident Coordinator, Mr Raja Adnan, Director of the Division of Nuclear Security of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Mr. O’Neil Hamilton, 1540 Regional Implementation Coordinator of CARICOM.
The event brought together senior officials from Barbados, the Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.
The workshop raised awareness amongst CARICOM Member States on the importance and benefits of becoming party to, and fully implementing these legal instruments, as adherence to these instruments remains low in the region.
The workshop involved discussions focused on the main features of the three conventions, the differences and synergies between them, as well as an interactive exercise on the application of the conventions. Experts from Antigua and Barbuda, Canada, Jamaica and St. Kitts and Nevis shared with participants their national experiences on becoming party to and implementing the instruments. Representatives from the CARICOM Secretariat, the IAEA, the 1540 Committee Group of Experts and the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs and UNODC also provided their expertise.
The workshop was delivered under UNODC's three-year project, funded by the Government of Canada, to promote the universalization and effective implementation of ICSANT, the CPPNM and its 2005 Amendment.

“T2 Trainspotting,” Oscar nominee “Land of Mine,” “Power Rangers,” “Wilson,” “Life,” “The Last Word” and more are being released in the Seattle area the week of March 24.
Eleven movies land in Seattle-area theaters March 24. Here’s what our reviewers thought of them. A few did not screen in advance for review.
★★★★ “T2 Trainspotting” (R): This sequel, set 20 years after the first film, connects intimately with the original. The same characters — Scottish bad boys Renton (Ewan McGregor), Spud (Ewen Bremner), Simon (Jonny Lee Miller) and Begbie (Robert Carlyle) — are back. They’re older, but only in some ways wiser. Full review.

★★★½ “Land of Mine” (R): Denmark’s recent Oscar nominee for best foreign-language film lost the award to Iran’s much-praised “The Salesman.” Nevertheless, the Danish film is no afterthought, no minor event, but a strong film on its own. It is set on the west coast of Denmark in May 1945, when German teenagers were recruited to dismantle 1.5 million land mines on the beaches. Full review.
John Hartl, Special to The Seattle Times
★★½ “Power Rangers” (PG-13): This big-screen version is about as dark as a CW series: just enough to be taken (somewhat) seriously, but with enough of a sense of humor about itself to have some fun, too. Suiting up as the colorfully suited karate-chopping teen superheroes are R.J. Cyler, Dacre Montgomery, Naomi Scott, Becky G. and Ludi Lin. Full review.
Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
★★½ “Wilson” (R): A character, even when he’s played by Woody Harrelson, is not a movie. “Wilson,” based on a graphic novel by Daniel Clowes and directed by Bellingham native Craig Johnson, is the story of a grumpy, lonely middle-aged man who discovers he has teenage daughter (Isabella Amara). It’s wonderfully cast, but there’s just not enough here to sustain a full-length film. Full review.
Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times arts critic
★★ “The Last Word” (R): An enduring talent can add a level of class to pedestrian material, even a saccharine effort like “The Last Word.” The film is fortunate to have Shirley MacLaine, as a woman demanding creative control over her own obituary. Unfortunately, the film is a misuse of the Oscar-winning star’s talent and a waste of our time. But MacLaine does it with flair. Full review.
Colin Covert, (Minneapolis) Star Tribune
★½ “Life” (R): Say hello to “Alien-Lite.” An extraterrestrial life form is brought aboard the International Space Station and all kinds of predictable hell breaks loose. Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds star. Full review.
★★★ “Donald Cried” (not rated): This independent movie takes place over 24 hours and follows two 30-something childhood friends — successful Peter (Jesse Wakeman) and Donald (Kris Avedisian), who still lives with his mother in the house that he grew up in. Donald talks and talks, and most of what he says is ludicrous, and some of it is unconsciously insulting. It’s all absurd and enjoyable, and yet to spend one minute in Donald’s company is to realize something is wrong with him.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
★★½ “Song to Song” (R): Terrence Malick’s latest — set in the Austin, Texas, music scene — can be described, deceivingly, as a romantic triangle, though it’s really more of a romantic rhombus or an octagon, or something. The film tests its dreamers and wanderers and leaves them a little wiser, maybe, for the experience. And maybe that’s the best way to express how I felt watching it, wrestling with it, hating some of it, falling under the spell of the occasional, tantalizing best of it. Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara and Natalie Portman star.
Michael Phillips, The Chicago Tribune
“Suntan” (not rated, subtitled): On a tiny Greek island, a middle-aged doctor (Makis Papadimitriou) becomes obsessed with a young tourist (Elli Tringou) when she lets him tag along with her group of hard-partying friends. Replete with sometimes startling imagery (the removal of sand from an eye), “Suntan” captures a set of specific feelings: the exhilaration and embarrassment of falling, followed by the desperate denial that one has landed in a very bad place. The New York Times does not provide star ratings with reviews.
Glenn Kenny, The New York Times
“CHIPS” (R): The popular TV series about two California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers gets a big-screen remake with Michael Peña as Frank “Ponch” Poncherello and Dax Shepard, who also directed and wrote the screenplay, as Jon Baker.
“All Nighter” (R): When his daughter (Analeigh Tipton) disappears in Los Angeles, a tough-minded businessman (J.K. Simmons) recruits her awkward ex-boyfriend (Emile Hirsch) to help him find her over the course of one crazy night.
