JJB warns that sales stalling
Show Comments ▼ John Dunne JJB warns that sales stalling Tags: NULL Share whatsapp Sportswear retailer JJB Sports said trading conditions had got tougher in recent weeks as shoppers brace themselves for higher taxes and big cuts in public spending.The group, which teetered on the brink of insolvency in 2009, said sales at stores open at least a year rose 18 per cent from August 2 to August 29, but had slowed to a six per cent increase from August 30 to 26 September.“There appears to be increasing caution in the market over discretionary expenditure which means that it is very important to attract customers to our stores with a good range of products, services and prices,” it said in a statement.JJB said customers had responded well to promotions, but sales growth fell back when they ended.The group made a loss before tax and one-off items of £21.9m in the six months to 1 August compared with a loss of £46m in the same period last year.Like-for-like sales for the year to date were up 13 percent, with cumulative gross profit margins in line with the half year. JJB avoided administration last year by selling its fitness clubs, pushing through a debt restructuring deal with creditors, raising £100m of new capital and renegotiating banking facilities.

Leinster and Ireland U20 back-row Caelan DorisDate of birth 2 April 1998 Born Sligo Province Leinster Country Ireland Position Back-rowHow old were you when you first played rugby?Four or five, with Ballina. My brother is two years older and I went down with him. I also played Gaelic Football and soccer, but rugby was always No 1.Have you always been a back-row?I played a bit at second-row at Blackrock College and centre for Ballina, but once I went into the U15s I was a back-row.No 8 is my favourite position. I like six as well but prefer No 8. Carrying, tackling, breakdown – those are probably the three most important parts of the game for a back-row and they’re my three favourite parts as well.Who were your childhood heroes?Jamie Heaslip would have been one of my favourite players, and Brian O’Driscoll. Outside Ireland, Kieran Read.What Ireland representative honours do you have?I played for Ireland U18 Schools, then they joined U18 Clubs and Schools together in my second year. I played Ireland U20 in my first year out of school and again this year. LATEST RUGBY WORLD MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION DEALS Meet impressive No 8 Caelan Doris, who is studying psychology alongside his rugby career Great eight: Caelan Doris on the charge during the U20 World Championship (Inpho) 
This article originally appeared in the December 2018 edition of Rugby World. Follow Rugby World on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Who’s been the biggest influence on your career?My dad, Chris, would be No 1. He used to play for Blackrock but had to give up because of injuries. He’s very supportive and offers guidance.Also, Peter Smyth, my senior coach at Blackrock and then academy manager at Leinster. And Noel McNamara, who I had for Leinster U18, Ireland U18 and U20.What are your goals for this season?I’d like to be involved with the senior team and add to my (provincial) caps. There are so many back-rows at Leinster that I want to learn as much as I can off them.Competition within the squad is what you want as it makes you push yourself harder and standards rise across the board.How have you found senior rugby?It is definitely a step up, speed-wise and physically. The more opportunity you get to play at that level, the quicker you adjust.RW VERDICT: Doris made the senior Blackrock team aged 15 and stood out when leading Ireland U20 in a disappointing Junior World Cup campaign in the summer – no wonder Leinster have high hopes for the No 8, who is studying psychology at UCD.

Fundraising innovation grants offered to UK hospices 21 total views, 1 views today AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to TwitterTwitterShare to FacebookFacebookShare to LinkedInLinkedInShare to EmailEmailShare to WhatsAppWhatsAppShare to MessengerMessengerShare to MoreAddThis Examples of eligible projects include: · A new type of fundraising event, perhaps one aimed at a different target audience than existing events· Opening up a new specialist shop with different products from existing outlets and / or aimed at a different target market · An innovative way of increasing sales of a hospice lottery· An innovative use of new media in income generation. David Burland, chief operating officer at Help the Hospices, said: “The purpose of this programme is to stimulate some really good new ideas that all hospices can benefit from. Most hospices have to raise several thousand pounds every day to keep their services going, so hospice fundraisers have to be continuously inventive and creative to keep their local communities supporting them. “The hospice movement is unique in that it’s a national movement made up largely of individual local charities. This kind of cross-fertilisation of original thinking can only benefit the movement over all.”Successful applicants will need to demonstrate the potential for income generation, the extent of the potential for duplication/repetition of the project across the hospice sector, and the sustainability of the project.The deadline for applications from UK hospices for the first round of grants is 29 June 2007. Help the Hospices, the national charity for the UK hospice movement, has launched a new grants programme for hospices designed to encourage creative and innovative income generation.The new ‘Innovation in Income Generation Grants Programme’ is designed to facilitate the sharing of good fundraising ideas across the hospice movement as a whole. All grant recipients will be required to complete a full report on the outcome of their project, to be shared with other hospices and used perhaps at best practice workshops and conferences. The 2007 programme is offering £30,000, which is expected to be divided into approximately six grants. Advertisement

Faculty and students can select an option that sends a student a text when a grade or an important announcement is posted. Faculty can also post audio and video clips on their pages for students to view or even use it as feedback on an assignment.The new system features a dashboard that will allow students to see current information, like grades being posted or announcements, without having to actually click on the course like in eCollege.Hughes also said that TCU Online will have a better grade book that makes it easier for teachers to do things, such as drop the lowest grade.TCU Online will go through a trial run in fall 2016 with a small group of faculty and students. Hughes said that the full system, for all the students and faculty, will launch in summer 2017. ReddIt Nick Pauszekhttps://www.tcu360.com/author/nick-pauszek/

News News April 28, 2021 Find out more MANDEL NGAN / AFP United StatesAmericas RSF_en Below are the most notable incidents regarding threats to press freedom in the US during the week of April 22-29: News Organisation Follow the news on United States April 30, 2018 US — #WeeklyAddress: April 22–29: White House calls RSF’s World Press Freedom Index’s US ranking “ridiculous” Receive email alerts
to go further Help by sharing this information June 7, 2021 Find out more United StatesAmericas News Sanders calls US World Press Freedom Index ranking “ridiculous” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders clashed with two journalists over President Donald Trump’s effect on US press freedom during an April 25 press briefing. When Steve Herman, Voice of America’s White House correspondent, asked Sanders if she knew the US dropped two places in ranking to 45th in Reporters Without Borders (RSF) 2018 World Press Freedom Index, and that RSF placed much of the blame on President Donald Trump, Sanders said she rejected the idea that Trump had done anything to diminish US press freedom. “I think we’re one of the most accessible administrations that we’ve seen in decades,” Sanders said, “I think by my mere presence of standing up here and taking your questions unvetted is a pretty good example of freedom of the press.” RSF responded to Sanders’ claims, saying she is “in denial” by calling the US rating “ridiculous.” CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta followed up by asking Sanders if she thought this administration was a “champion of a free press.” Sanders responded, “We support a free press but we also support a fair press…That’s one of the reasons I’m standing here taking your questions, and a lot of times taking your questions in a tone that’s completely unnecessary, unneeded and frankly doesn’t help further the conversation.” Acosta has been verbally attacked by both the President and the White House Communications team multiple times during Trump’s tenure. Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale suggested in a tweet to take away Acosta’s press credentials after he tried to ask Trump a question during the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on April 2. Trump skips WHCA dinner, insults the press during Michigan rally President Trump skipped out on the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 28 and instead hosted a rally in Michigan, during which he repeatedly insulted the media and expressed distaste toward coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election. “Sources don’t exist. These people are very dishonest people, many of them. Fake news. Very dishonest.” He also told the crowd that “[the media] hate your guts.” This is the second year Trump opted out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Instead of attending last year, Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania where he made similar remarks about the media. White House correspondents recount death threats, difficulties covering Trump On April 24 Variety’s Senior Washington Editor Ted Johnson published an article spotlighting the obstacles that reporters endure covering the Trump administration. Johnson wrote: “Just about any correspondent covering the White House today will tell you that the kind of tension and animus that exists between the press corps and the Trump administration is something new and different. Most reporters share a sense that covering Trump is a challenge like no other, at a time when political journalists and the First Amendment are under siege.” He interviewed multiple journalists for this article, including CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta and American Urban Radio Networks’ White House correspondent April Ryan. Both Acosta and Ryan discussed the numerous death threats that they have received covering Trump. Ryan said she often receives death threats simply for asking a question, causing her to “have law enforcement on speed dial,” and Acosta said he receives death threats on a weekly basis. In July 2017, journalists Jared Yates Sexton and CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski began receiving intimidating messages, including some deaths threats, on social media and to their personal phone numbers. The threats began after Sexton and Kaczynski reported on the Reddit user who created the video of Trump wrestling and violently punching a figure whose head was replaced by the CNN logo, which Trump retweeted. Media access denied at Trump’s first state dinner President Trump broke from long-standing White House tradition by not inviting any members of the press to his first state dinner, which he hosted on April 24 for French President Emmanuel Macron. Unlike Trump, former President Barack Obama invited reporters from multiple news outlets to his state dinner with Macron’s predecessor, Francois Hollande, in 2014. The guests included former New York Times Executive Editor Jill Abramson, CNN president Jeff Zucker and representatives of The Associated Press, Reuters, The Atlantic, Cosmopolitan and numerous French media outlets. The Trump administration frequently limits press access to major events or trips. Earlier this week, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt didn’t invite members of the press to an announcement he made about his commitment to transparency, and on April 3 Pruitt held an event with “limited press access,” to which only Fox News was invited. DOJ removed language about press freedom from its manual Among changes the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has made to its US Attorney’s manual since the fall, Buzzfeed News reported on April 29 that language regarding press freedom has been removed from the manual. A section called “Need for Free Press and Public Trial” has been deleted, and new language has been added instructing prosecutors to report all contact with members of the press and not to release any classified information to reporters. Federal prosecutors in US attorney offices across the country use this manual for guidance, as do other DOJ lawyers. The new changes have not been publicly announced yet and the DOJ declined to comment on any of the specific changes. These changes reflect the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on governmental leaks to the press. There have been two leak prosecutions during the Trump administration. Most recently, Terry Albury pleaded guilty last week to two felony violations of the Espionage Act. Poll shows majority of Republicans believe media is enemy of the people According to an April 26 Quinnipiac University National Poll, 51 percent of Republicans say the media is “the enemy of the people” rather than an important part of democracy, while 3 percent of Democrats believe the same. This poll was conducted from April 20 to April 24 and over one thousand voters nationwide were surveyed. Anti-press rhetoric has been used frequently by the Trump administration. Trump has called the media an “enemy of the American people,” and has verbally attacked and denounced the media’s authenticity by repeatedly referring to “fake news” and creating the “Fake News Awards.” The United States ranks 45th out of 180 countries in RSF’s 2018 World Press Freedom Index after falling 2 places in the last year.For the latest updates, follow RSF on twitter @RSF_en.
