Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin “Say we’ll be together ‘til the end,” sang Phil Collins Monday night in Chicago as English prog rockers Genesis launched their North American tour on stage at United Center. Amidst an arena concert landscape dominated by reunion tours - in a year where acts like the Rolling Stones are staging highly entertaining concerts even as each member approaches the age of 80 - most tours lack a tangible sense of finality. Another go at it almost always seems plausible. But this Genesis outing feels different, with even the tour’s title - “The Last Domino?” - seemingly hinting at the inevitable. Plagued by a litany of health issues, singer Phil Collins, 70, now sits for the majority of the group’s two hour plus performances, unable to play the drums as he did when Genesis last performed together in 2007. Nevertheless, Monday night in Chicago, the first of two sold out shows at United Center, found Collins in fine … [Read more...] about Genesis Launch North American Tour With Triumphant Opening Night In Chicago

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Just over 13 months after the inaugural LongTail Rally of 2021, rally organizers kicked off the second LongTail Rally amidst the stunning skyline of San Francisco. Gathering at the Fairmont Hotel on Mason Street for the opening dinner, and culminating at the Hyatt Regency, Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona one week later, this year’s rally involved more participants, covered more miles and included even more adventures. Rally organizers Michael Knapp and Julie Milne didn’t need to up their game after the celebrated reaction to the first LongTail Rally, but they kicked things up a notch nonetheless. Where last year’s rally included a trip to BMW’s driving school in Thermal, California, and a visit to Speed Vegas outside Sin City, this year’s drive crossed far more state lines and included off-road safaris, high-altitude tests of man and machine, plus a massive 110-degree pool party and a marriage proposal.

The downtrend in the market is far from over, if technical evidences are considered, and the broader index may decline to a level anywhere between 13,950 and 13,500, says Mazhar Mohammad, Founder and Chief Market Strategist at Chartviewindia. "We are not buyers at these levels but wait for a panic bottom to form around 14,000 levels which should be a good opportunity," he says during an interview with Moneycontrol .

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Eyewear mogul Leonardo del Vecchio—whose firm owns Ray-Ban, Sunglass Hut and more—died at age 87, with a fortune worth an estimated $25.5 billion and six children from three different relationships. The death of Italy’s second-richest man, Leonardo Del Vecchio , means that his estimated $25.5 billion fortune will now be divided among his heirs. The 87-year-old eyewear mogul leaves behind his second wife, Nicoletta Zampillo, and six children from three different relationships, ranging in age from 18 to 65. All seven are now likely to become billionaires, inheriting Del Vecchio’s Luxembourg-based holding company Delfin and its billions of dollars in assets.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin When the Minnesota Vikings decided that the Mike Zimmer era had to come to an end and a new coach was needed to reignite the team, few Vikings observers and fans could argue against the decision. Zimmer, perhaps the top defensive mind in the NFL when he was hired in 2014, had run his course. Zimmer’s abilities as a defensive innovator were not overstated, but he had carried a “woe is me” persona since Minnesota’s 10-9 wild-card loss to the Seattle Seahawks at frigid (-6 degrees Fahrenheit) TCF Bank Stadium following the 2015 regular season. The Vikings were poised to beat the Seahawks when Blair Walsh lined up for what should have been a 27-yard game-winning field goal with 26 seconds remaining, but the kicker gagged and the Vikings lost. Nobody was more stunned than Zimmer, and it seemed the cold slap of that loss never left the coach’s consciousness throughout his tenure. New head coach Kevin O’Connell has none of … [Read more...] about New Coaching Regime Expected To Bring Excitement Back To Minnesota Vikings Offense

TODAY is Day of the Seafarer. Inaugurated in 2011 under the auspices of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), this day offers a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the contribution of seafarers without whom the flow of goods and international trade would come to a halt. With merchant ships carrying up to 90% of the global trade and the maritime sector operating at breakneck speed, it’s difficult to imagine life without the participation of seafarers. But their job sometimes comes at great personal cost to themselves and their families. Every seafarer’s voyage is unique, but they all confront similar obstacles, with mental health management being one of the most serious concerns. In the past, after their ship departed port, seafarers were cut off from the outside world. Today, with data transfer feasible aboard and ashore regardless of their ship’s position, crews are now able to remain in contact with their families and friends. In this aspect, Internet access should … [Read more...] about Value the toil of seafarers

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The flickering flame of Philadelphia’s playoff hopes may have gone out over the weekend. That’s because Bryce Harper, a two-time National League Most Valuable Player, suffered a thumb fracture when hit by a pitch from Blake Snell of the San Diego Padres. If surgery is needed, the high-priced slugger could be lost for the season – along with the team’s title chances. The Phillies, who have not reached postseason play since 2011, are running third in the National League East, a division dominated this season by the New York Mets. Even a 14-game winning streak by the second-place Atlanta Braves hasn’t been able to decapitate New York. After Philadelphia’s 4-2 win at San Diego Saturday night, the team had a 38-35 record, nine games behind the Mets and four behind the Braves. Harper, a 29-year-old left-handed hitter, had already been reduced from regular right-fielder to designated hitter because he suffered a … [Read more...] about Phillies Lose Two-Time MVP Bryce Harper With Fractured Thumb

Every year, around the world, tens of thousands of small businesses are badly disrupted by natural disasters (and sometimes man made disasters). I know that in Australia alone, we face fire, floods and cyclones constantly. The cost both financially and emotionally is huge. Businesses can be disrupted for anything from a few days to a few months. So what should you do to when disaster hits your business? 1. Start by setting up communication to the outside world. The first step in the rebuilding process is to make sure you are connected to the outside world and this normally means a working telephone and an email connection. It might mean hiring some computer equipment or getting your mobile phone set up for internet connection (if you haven't already. Even setting up a TV in your building helps to make you feel connected to the rest of the world. 2. Break the rebuilding process into smaller, more manageable chunks When standing in a devastated office, … [Read more...] about Your Business has Been Damaged or Destroyed by a Natural Disaster, What now?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A girl rides up an escalator at Aeropostale's flagship store in Times Square in New York, U.S. ... [+] Photographer: Ramin Talaie/Bloomberg At first blush, the news of Simon Property Group and General Growth Properties stepping in to save failing retailer Aéropostale from certain bankruptcy seems surprising – but a deeper look reveals, it’s anything but. The deal, a reported $243 million, between Simon, GGP and Authentic Brands Group (operators of Juicy Couture among others) was initially slated to keep all 229 Aéropostale stores open at the two landlord’s properties. However, it appears the two largest mall operators in the country were able to use their relationships and influence to convince other Aéropostale landlords to provide rent concessions for an additional 171 stores – bringing the tally of locations that will remain open to 400. Are Landlords Now in the Business of Retailing? The common … [Read more...] about Mall Owners Play Offense In Aéropostale Deal

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Glastonbury is in the air with both the record-breaking youngest ever headliner, Billie Eilish, and the oldest, Sir Paul McCartney, taking to the stage. Festival goers have splashed the cash on tickets, transport and tents; all of which might paint a picture of positivity when it comes to the UK’s finances. The reality is much more off-key. Consumer confidence is now at its lowest level for years as many face a cost-of-living crisis, with essentials such as food and fuel prices continuing to spiral. GfK data confirms this. The data company's monthly index which ‘checks the temperature’ of consumer confidence decreased by one point , to -41, in June and a record low. The survey which has been running for over forty years, asks consumers how they feel about personal finances and the UK economy. Despite covering past periods of recession and hardship, today’s consumers say they are feeling financial pain like … [Read more...] about Brits Enjoy Summer Of Festivals & Travel Before Increased Economic Worries
