Source: hazel eyes After the failure of the Copenhagen summit to reach any significant agreement, what happens next? No binding climate change deal was struck, leaving many believing that the world leaders aren't listening to the people who put them in power. At the summit, leaders did agree that:
The next summit is in Mexico 2010 and the pressure is really on to come to a globally binding agreement and put the disappointment of Copenhagen behind us. To report this post follow the permalink aboveInternet Sales To Start On Christmas Eve
Source: hazel eyes Internet shoppers could get a head start on the sales this year as many retailers are launching them on Christmas Eve. Retailers such as John Lewis, Comet, B&Q and Halfords are expected to start their xmas sales online 36hrs before the more traditional Boxing Day start. Sales are expected to be particularly brisk between Christmas and New Year because of the VAT increase, which returns to 17.5% on January 1st. Consumers wishing to make a large purchase such as furniture and big electrical items are most likely to try and grab a bargain before the increase takes effect. IMRG, the online trading body, estimates that around 4 million people will go online on Christmas day and will spend around £100 million on Dec 26th. Kelkoo estimates that traffic will spike at 8pm on the 25th. David Smith, director at IMRG, said: "A lot of these purchases are for downloads – be it films or computer games. If you have received a games console or computer for Christmas one of the first things you want to do is download something...And it doesn't mean sitting in the spare room. Most people do their shopping with a laptop on their knee in the sitting room, or even on their phone." The bad weather we are experiencing at the moment has meant that some delivery guarantees have had to be scrapped. Previously, customers have been informed that they could order up to 5pm today (Dec 22nd) and still have it in time for Christmas, but retailers such as Marks & Spencer have had to alter it to 1pm yesterday with purchases after that time no longer promised to arrive before xmas day. Those with poised laptops will need to note that online sales bargains will be available from the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, just as high street shops are closing.

Source: hazel eyes Unlike its beleaguered neighbour, Dubai, which is struggling under debt, Abu Dhabi is planning to build a new sports stadium. Abu Dhabi is planning to make the new stadium the biggest in the UAE, holding 65,000 seats and feature a retractable roof. Once completed, it will be eventually the new home of the UAE's football team. Abu Dhabi is hoping that this latest construction, following on from the $1 billion Formula 1 track, seven hotels and marina on Yas Island completed earlier this year, along with $100 billion of infrastructure investments will help put it on the world map. Dubai, seen as the jewel in the crown of the UAE, is currently striving to sort out its own financial crisis as it requested debt repayment delays recently. Contractors interested in taking on the stadium project have until 12th December to submit prelimary bids and must have had a minimum annual turnover from construction activities of $1.22 billion in each of the last three years. The stadium is being developed by Mubadala Real Estate & Hospitality, part of the Abu Dhabi-owned investment company Mubadala. To report this post follow the permalink above Real Madrid Lingerie
Source: hazel eyes Real Madrid, the worlds most profitable football team, has brought out a range of lingerie for its female fans. The club has decided to increase its range of souvenir range from mugs, keyrings, t-shirts and the like to include lingerie and boxer shorts. The lingerie is being made by Little Kiss in Valencia and will be available from March - just a bit late for a Christmas stocking filler this time around. I'm sure there will be lots of opportunities for footie fans to fill their Christmas gifts list with momentos of their favourite team. Real Madrid makes up nearly one quarter of its annual budget from sales of items with their logo on - over 100 million euros out of a budget of more then 400 million euros. It has been in the top spot of the Deloitte Football Money League since the 2004 - 05 season when it usurped Manchester United. To report this post follow the permalink above |
