What Will Be The Next Step to Complete? The “new ’20s” idea might not work—there were a lot more young people in the United States then than now; a reprise of the world-changing inventions and discoveries of the 1920s would be a big surprise to those economists who believe that we have been in an invention dry spell since the 1970s. In his Businessweek piece, Peter Coy largely agrees, writing, “In all probability … the U.S. will continue to wrestle with ‘secular Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 These experts make strong cases, and they satisfy my natural instinct not to go there. But I remain very interested in the reasons the ’20s appeal to our imagination right now. Of course, it’s the booze, the sex, and the parties. But it’s also a decade with a very strong identity—and I think that helps. Writing in the journal American Speech in 1951, Mamie J. Meredith argued that the ’20s boasted. I’d argue that Meredith’s point about the decade’s exceptionality still holds: How many other 20th century decades have a nice little permanent descriptor like Roaring? It helps that most of these are good adjectives, evoking a time you’d probably like to live through again—but even the slightly dangerous-sounding ones conjure up something specific. That definiteness offers an appealing sense Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Anyway, let’s get to that fun. A very joyful book to read about the decade is Frederick Lewis Allen’s Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s, which Allen—a blueblood journalist and editor at Harper’s—published in 1931. The book chronicles all of the movement and motion that makes the decade sexy, and doesn’t seem to miss a fad.

Allen is also really good at describing parties—or, at least, the ones the middle class and upper class attended.

Uncertainty for K-Pop band after failed ultimatum
Buy Now An error occurred. Buy Now An error occurred. Book Novotel Hotel Uncertainty for K-Pop band after failed ultimatum Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo The future of K-Pop band NewJeans is in doubt, after they went public with complaints against their record label. The girl group debuted in 2022, and quickly became a crossover hit, thanks to a 90s club sound, which recalled the heyday of TLC, SWV and En Vogue. But two weeks ago, the quintet hosted a surprise livestream on YouTube, where they spoke for almost half an hour about their dissatisfaction with their record label, Hybe, and the decision to remove their producer, Min Hee-jin, from her role. The group even issued an ultimatum, demanding that Min should be reinstated by 25 September. As the deadline ran out, Hybe rejected the request, putting a question mark over New Jeans’ next move. The band are committed to a seven-year contract, which runs out in 2029, but have signalled their unwillingness to continue under the current arrangement. The K-pop news site Koreaboo estimated that the band would have to pay about 300 billion South Korean Won, external (about £170 million) to terminate the contract early. It’s a highly unusual story in the tightly-controlled world of Korean pop, where artists’ moves are micromanaged down to the tiniest details. NewJeans’ decision to speak out came after months of internal wrangling at Hybe, one of South Korea’s biggest entertainment companies, which the members said had left them “anxious” and “in a state of shock”. How did the NewJeans drama begin? NewJeans were put together between 2019 and 2022 by by ADOR, a subsidiary of Hybe Corporation, under the direction of the label’s CEO Min Hee-Jin. The group’s five members – Danielle, Haerin, Hanni, Hyein and Minji – were appointed through a mixture of auditions and traineeships, with Hanni and Minji making an early appearance in the video for BTS’s single Permission To Dance. Their name was chosen a play on the phrase “new genes” – intended to evoke the idea of a new generation of pop, as well as their devotion to street fashion. Still teenagers when they released their debut single, Attention, in July 2022, they became an instant hit. Their self-titled debut EP went straight to number one in Korea in 2022, as did the follow-up, OMG. In 2023, they scored five hits on the US chart, and were named group of the year at the Billboard Women In Music Awards. The boardroom drama began this April, when Hybe announced it was auditing ADOR and Min-Jee Hin. The Korea Times reported, external that the audit included searches of computers within ADOR’s offices in Seoul. Hybe subsequently accused Min of corporate espionage – saying she had planned a hostile takeover with outside investors, so that she could manage New Jeans and ADOR independently. “The evidence included detailed discussions that Min has ordered the ADOR management to find ways to pressure Hybe into ultimately selling ADOR’s shares,” the company said in a statement. Min denied the allegations and claimed Hybe was retaliating after she’d complained that another of the label’s acts, ILLIT, had copied NewJeans’ identity, styling, choreography and music video concepts. The CEO was granted a court injunction in May, which prevented Hybe from sacking her. But in August, ADOR announced she was standing down. Initial reports stated that Min would continue to work as a producer for NewJeans, but she later announced she had rejected that offer, saying that Hybe’s terms were “unreasonable”. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 How did NewJeans react to Min’s departure? After Min’s departure, NewJeans members Hanni, Minji and Danielle spoke to fans on the NewJeans community app Phoning about their frustration and disappointment. “I was so frustrated with myself for not being able to solve anything,” Minji said, according to Korea Joong-An Daily. , external. “I am so sorry that we’re going through this unnecessary trouble when there’s already not enough time in the day to focus on the good things.” The band continued their promotional activities, however, including the launch of a lucrative new campaign as the faces of Calvin Klein. But on 11 September, the same day they were nominated for two MTV Awards, they took the unprecedented step of setting up their own YouTube channel and posting a 27-minute long video entitled “What NewJeans Wanted To Say.” Dressed mainly in black and reading a pre-prepared statement, the five-piece accused Hybe of fostering a toxic work environment and demanded Min’s reinstatement. In the video, which has since been deleted, 18-year-old Haerin said that videos of the members as trainees, as well as their private medical information had been leaked. She claimed that Hybe “did not resolve the issue nor did it take any proactive measures”, despite being made aware of the situation by the girls’ parents. (Hybe has not responded to the claim). Hanni, 19, also alleged that the manager of another girl group at Hybe had instructed its members to “ignore her” when they crossed paths at the company’s headquarters. NewJeans concluded by setting a deadline of 25 September for Min’s reinstatement – although they did not specify what action they would take if thire demands were not met “What we want is the original ADOR, where CEO Min Heejin integrates management and producing. The reason we are sharing this is because we believe this is the only way to avoid conflict with Hybe,” they said. “If our message has been properly conveyed, we hope Chairman Bang [Si-Hyuk] and Hybe will wisely restore ADOR to its original state by the 25th.” Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Why did Hybe reject NewJeans’ request? On 25 September, Hybe issued a statement, external to the Korea Herald, saying it would not honour NewJeans’ request. However, Ador said Min could continue as both an internal director at Ador and NewJeans’ producer. “The board has resolved to convene an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to reappoint Min Hee-jin as an internal director,” Ador said in an official statement.

Post Brexit custom processes for parcels delayed

Book Novotel Hotel Post Brexit custom processes for parcels delayed Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo wo elements of the Windsor Framework which were due to be implemented at the start of the October have been delayed until next year. The Windsor Framework is the Brexit deal which sets trading rules between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. New customs processes for parcels and freight have now been delayed until March 2025 at the earliest. Some businesses had expressed concerns that there had not been enough time to prepare for the changes.Business-to-business parcels In a message to traders, HM Revenue and Customs said: “As our ongoing engagement with you has recognised, several events, including the General Election and the pre-election period, have impacted on the preparations of traders and the border industry. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 “We recognise that more time will therefore be required to ensure full readiness for the new arrangements.” It is understood the EU has agreed to the change and this is not the UK acting unilaterally. The main change which had been planned for October concerned business-to-business parcels. They were due to face customs processes for the first time while parcel carriers were also supposed to be signed up to a new trusted trader scheme.Post-Brexit challenges Parcels have been one of the most difficult post-Brexit trading issues for the UK government to resolve. After Brexit, Northern Ireland effectively remained in the EU’s single market for goods. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Book Novotel Hotel That meant some new checks and controls have been applied to goods being sent from Great Britain to Northern Ireland – which some have described as the Irish Sea border. This was originally governed by a UK-EU deal known as the Northern Ireland Protocol. It was revised last year and became the Windsor Framework. Under the original deal most parcels going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland would have required customs declarations: that was never implemented as businesses and the UK government said it would be unworkable. The Windsor Framework aims to radically simplify the original proposal while also including measures which give the EU assurance that goods will not illicitly enter its market. In August the NI Chamber of Commerce told the The Newz that “clarity and an urgent plan” were needed on parcel movements.Yellow lorry at a port being directed by a man in a high-vis jacket. The next phase of “Not for EU” food labelling will go ahead in October. Under the Windsor Framework, UK public health and safety standards, rather than EU standards, apply to food and drink being sold by retailers in Northern Ireland. That means Great Britain traders who are sending food for sale to Northern Ireland consumers should face few routine checks and minimal paperwork. The flipside of this is the use of “Not for EU” labels on GB food products, to give assurance to the EU that products will not wrongly be sold in its single market. In the first phase that labelling was limited to pre-packed meat and fresh milk being sent from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. From 1 October, all milk and dairy products will need to be individually labelled at product level. The number of “identity checks” on GB products entering NI will be reduced as a result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
Notting Hill Carnival is poorly run – Met chief

Book Novotel Hotel Notting Hill Carnival is poorly run – Met chief Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has said the Notting Hill Carnival is a “poorly run event” and has “deep concerns” about crowd risks. He said the annual carnival was “not run by experts in event management” and feared a “mass fatality event” through crushing, like the Hillsborough disaster. Sir Mark was speaking during a meeting of the London Policing Board , externalat City Hall on Thursday. The organisers, Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, have said they had “experts from all areas of event organisation” and had 3,300 stewards this year to help manage crowds. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 Sir Mark said he had “complete support” for the event but was “deeply concerned” about its safety, with an estimated one million people taking to the streets of west London. The commissioner said police should “only be at an event to deal with crime and disorder issues” and that the crowd management of any event was the responsibility of the event organisers. He added: “They struggle to discharge their responsibilities effectively and we try to rescue the situation. So we put in mitigations to try and reduce the risk of a Hillsborough-type event.” He said this was not an effective way to manage or police the carnival. His comments come after Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said the organisers “did not have enough stewards” on shift over the carnival weekend. ‘Not run by experts’ Sir Mark said: “With crime, it is less about the numbers than the severity. It was over 300 arrests, there were two murders at this year’s carnival and I think there were six other stabbings, and 60-70 weapons recovered. “This is a very different arrest profile to what you would see at even at the most difficult football matches or Glastonbury, or something like that,” he added. “Crime control is much harder because it’s a poorly run event. It’s not run by experts in event management in the way that most big events are.” He told the board that the Met had a “very positive” relationship with the event organisers and that officers had met with them, together with the local authorities, to work on a “reset” on the way carnival is organised. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, responded to the comments by telling the board: “It’s really important the commissioner airs his concerns.” He emphasised that the carnival was not run by City Hall nor by the Metropolitan Police. He told the board: “I’ve seen things (at carnival) that I can’t un-see and the commissioner has briefed me on things we can’t pretend we don’t know about. “We’ll be working with organisers to try and address these concerns,” he added. ‘Police had a negative impact’ The organisers of the carnival, Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, have said there are inaccuracies in the Met’s response. It says the carnival is overseen by a number of events management experts and safety advisers. In terms of crowd control, a spokesperson told the BBC: “We do not recognise any situation in which it was required for the police to be called in to help with crowd management.” They added: “When the police did take these actions, it was not always communicated across the organising team, which is vital to how the event runs. “And it was not done under consultation as was agreed in the event plan. When the police did act, it had a negative impact, causing greater crowding issues.” The spokesperson told the BBC: “We have lost the trust in the Metropolitan Police as a partner in the running of Notting Hill Carnival. Their ongoing rhetoric suggests they are not a co-operating partner.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
Brexit deal impact in UK is worsening, warn economists
Buy Now An error occurred. Buy Now An error occurred. Book Novotel Hotel Brexit deal impact in UK is worsening, warn economists Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Brexit red tape on British businesses has caused goods trade between the UK and EU to slump and the problem is getting worse, a study has warned. Many smaller UK producers have given up exporting small amounts to the EU after facing more rules and regulations, a report by Aston University Business School has found. Between 2021 and 2023, the study calculated that UK goods exports to the EU were down 27% and imported goods were 32% lower than where they would have been had Brexit not happened. The report does not include the service sector, which has performed better than many experts had expected since Brexit. The variety of trade export goods has also dropped, the study found, with 1,645 fewer types of British products exported to every EU country. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 he authors said this is due to smaller British producers giving up on exporting consignments to some EU nations after facing increased red tape. Mary Quicke of Quicke’s Cheeses in Devon told the The Newz’s Today programme that she had found it “really, really difficult to deal with all the regulatory burdens”. She said she used to supply four customers directly in the EU but “we had to give them away to somebody else”. “We just don’t have the people to do the paperwork.”‘A grinding halt’ Adam Sopher, the co-founder and chief executive of Joe & Seph’s popcorn, has also found post-Brexit regulations a burden. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s He set up the company 13 years ago and it now has an £8m turnover with 70 employees. He said Brexit was “initially very challenging. We were being asked for vet certificates for caramel popcorn because it contains butter”. Pre-Brexit, individuals, cinemas and retail stores in the EU could order popcorn online and they could send it by Royal Mail or a courier service, but then “all of it came to a grinding halt”. Brexit has led to “huge amount of extra costs because of the added administration”, he said. Bulk deliveries to the EU have recovered, but where it used to cost about £130 per pallet previously, it now costs £230-£250 predominately due to red tape and administrative fees. “There’s a huge amount of opportunity for growth if these rules can be improved,” he said. The report said that the “negative impacts of the [trade agreement] have intensified over time, with 2023 showing more pronounced trade declines than previous years”. Jun Du, one of the authors of the research, told the The Newz there had been an increase in regulations such as “product standards, safety checks and labeling requirements”. “While these measures do protect consumers, competition and the environment, they also increasingly bring difficulties and costs for the traders,” she said. Agrifood, textiles and materials manufacturing (wood and paper) have been hardest hit, according to the study. Trade with more distant countries in the EU has also been impacted the most, including Commonwealth allies such as Cyprus and Malta. However, the report’s authors say a small number of sectors have proven resilient, especially in terms of exports to bigger EU economies such as Germany and France. The tobacco, railway and aircraft sectors saw increases in the variety of exports to EU nations. A government spokesperson said it will “work to improve our trade and investment relationship with the EU and tear down unnecessary trade barriers, while recognising that there will be no return to the single market, customs union or freedom of movement”. The The Newz understands that in recent meetings with government, business representatives were invited to contribute early ideas on “resetting” the trade relationship with the EU, with a focus on “economic security”. Progress is unlikely until next year, when the new European Commission is firmly established, and the UK has itself completed new industrial and trade strategies.

The Trader Support Service (TSS) was set up in 2020 to help businesses deal with new customs processes. The current contract, held by a Fujitsu-led consortium, was due to expire at the end of this year. That contract has been extended for another year; a competitive process will be held to find an operator for 2026 onwards. Earlier this year the National Audit Office (NAO) said the government expects to have spent £531m on the TSS between December 2020 and December 2024. Book Novotel Hotel HMRC said: “The current TSS has been extended to the end of 2025 as the implementation of the Windsor Framework progresses. “The service is a key part of the government’s help for businesses adjusting to the new trading environment. ” From January 2021 commercial goods entering Northern Ireland from GB have needed customs declarations.
