Pandemic shopping habits are here to stay. Brands are racing to adapt

impulse purchases are on the rise during the Cove in 19 Pandemic, while the average American was spending around $155 on impulse buys as of this January, that number shot up to nearly $183 in April, according to one poll study of 2000 Americans commissioned by slick deals. While impulse buying doesn't sound great on its face, more than half of Americans said it actually ended up saving them cash long term, and 52% said they usually make the most of a deal when buying impulsively. Generally speaking, the top impulse purchases come in the areas of food and grocery clothing and household items. But what about during a pandemic? The top five are sort of what you'd expect cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, hand soap and canned food. Beyond that, nearly 1/4 of respondents in the Slick Deal study decided to treat themselves to something nice. They've won it for a while. Things like a video game console, a new outfit or ah, home improvement splurge
Three days a week at 7 a.m., senior Proctor & Gamble executives check in with each other about their customers: what they're buying, how their needs are changing and whether the company's products are hitting the mark."We need to stay very close to consumers and their habits, needs and desires, more now than ever," the company's chief financial officer, Jon Moeller, said during an earnings call last month.Proctor & Gamble, which owns brands including Tide, Fairy, Pantene and Gillette, is just one of the consumer goods giants that expects new habits formed during the coronavirus pandemic to permanently change the way consumers shop.The early evidence suggests the shift to online buying is accelerating, consumers are buying more products for their health and home, and they are becoming increasingly cost conscious while choosing to save more.On a call with analysts last month, Nestlé CEO Mark Schneider said the company is "working overtime" to understand what the economic crisis means for each of its product categories. Nestlé is the world's largest food and drinks company, making everything from breakfast cereals such as Cheerios, to Maggi instant noodles, Häagen-Dazs ice cream, Nescafé coffee and San Pellegrino water."To me that is super interesting work because clearly this is not going to be a quick recovery," Schneider said. "This is going to be a several quarter, if not several year kind of process, where it is safe to expect some changed category dynamics."In an environment where nearly everything changed overnight, consumer goods companies need to figure out which new buying patterns are temporary, likely to end along with lockdowns or the arrival of a vaccine, and which will linger, reshaping the way consumers spend their money for years to come."We're assessing market by market whether we need to make changes to our core products, prices and pack sizes," said Hanneke Faber, president of foods and refreshment at Unilever, which makes Lipton tea, Dove soap, Hellmann's mayonnaise and Ben & Jerry's ice cream.There's no "playbook" for this recession, she told CNN Business. "It will require us to be extremely agile and flexible for the foreseeable future."E-everythingWhile a lot is still unknown, it's clear that some lifestyle changes and shifts in spending patterns are going to outlast social distancing measures. For example, some consumers opted to shop online because physical shops were closed or to avoid crowds, and now that they have made the leap, it's unlikely that they will revert to their old ways entirely."Early lessons from China suggest that three to six percentage points of online market share will be "sticky," driven by older generations newly comfortable with digital channels and by new consumer segments," partners at consulting firm McKinsey wrote in a research paper.Their research found that the three largest UK grocers added more than 500,000 new delivery slots in the space of a few weeks, an increase of more than 30%.Nestle's e-commerce sales globally shot up 30% in the first three months of the year, while Proctor & Gamble reported 35% growth in online sales over the same period.The coronavirus crisis is likely to be a "breakthrough event" for online sales of food and beverages, as people who previously would not have bought groceries online discover how convenient it is, said Schneider, Nestle's CEO.E-commerce is unlikely stay at the very high level it is at now, but "we've reached a higher plateau to grow from," said Jack Neele, a portfolio manager at Dutch financial services firm Robeco.Health and hygieneAs with online shopping, health and wellness was a growing lifestyle trend well before the coronavirus hit, and it has only gained momentum during the pandemic. Consumers are wiping surfaces and washing their hands more than ever before, while sales of orange juice, considered beneficial to health because it's high in vitamin C, have soared."We're pretty confident that anything in the space of health and wellbeing is going to enjoy sustained strength," Unilever CEO Alan Jope told analysts last month.Unilever has seen higher sales of products such as Lipton Immune Support, as well as drinks that contain zinc and vitamin C, said Faber. The company is moving quickly to roll these out around the world, and health will remain a priority for product innovation, she added."We will serve what will likely become a forever altered health, hygiene and cleaning focus," said Proctor & Gamble's Moeller, noting that U.S. consumers are washing their clothes more frequently, adding up to more laundry loads per month.Nesting at homeEven when lockdowns are lifted and restaurants, bars and cinemas reopen, there's a sense that people won't be in a hurry to go out again."There may be an increased focus on home: more time at home, more meals at home, more cleaning at home," said Moeller.With unemployment at sky high levels, many consumers will simply have smaller budgets for leisure. They may also decide to keep saving more money in order to weather the recession. Recent data from the Bank of England and European Central Bank show that household savings rates shot up in some of Europe's biggest economies in March. The same was true in the United States, where savings rates jumped to their highest level since 1981.For others who have spent time and money upgrading their homes and gardens, or have picked up new hobbies, the prospect of staying in is more appealing than it was before."Staying in is the new going out," according to the McKinsey report. "Once restrictions are lifted, we expect consumers to continue spending more time at home, driven by a desire to save money, persistent safety concerns, and a new-found pleasure in nesting."The growth in online sales of bread machines in the United States was second only to disposable gloves in March, up 652% compared with a year earlier, according to data compiled by retail technology company Stackline.

Faber, the Unilever executive, described the trend as "cocooning."Unilever estimates that 15% of restaurants that have gone bankrupt in China during the crisis will never reopen.

"We have never faced the level of unemployment that we're like to see in this country and potentially in others, and we don't know how long that will occur for," said Moeller.There are already signs that consumers are trading down, favoring cheaper private label products to the benefit of retailers like Costco, Walgreens and CVS. Sales at discount stores, such as Dollar General and Aldi, are also enjoying a lift.But, at least for now, Nestlé, Unilever and Proctor & Gamble are confident that consumers will balance price against value, choosing the established brands that they are familiar with and experimenting less."People will go back to big, trusted brands," said Unilever's Faber.

Flood Insurance- Protecting your Assets
Flood Insurance?
In the days leading up to June 19, 2013, Alberta experienced heavy rainfall that triggered catastrophic flooding described by the provincial government as the worst in Alberta's history. Areas along the Bow, Elbow, Highwood, Red Deer, Sheep, Little Bow, and South Saskatchewan rivers and their tributaries were particularly affected. A total of 32 states of local emergency were declared and 28 emergency operations centres were activated as water levels rose and numerous communities were placed under evacuation orders.
Five people were confirmed dead as a direct result of the flooding and over 100,000 people were displaced throughout the region. Some 2,200 Canadian Forces (CF) troops were deployed to help in flooded areas. Total damage estimates exceeded C$5 billion and in terms of insurable damages, made the 2013 Alberta floods the costliest disaster in Canadian history at $1.7 billion, until the occurrence of the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire. Receding waters gave way to a mammoth cleanup of affected areas, aided by a spontaneous volunteer campaign in which many home owners were assisted by complete strangers.
When floodwater from a severe, week-long storm started pouring through the walls of Becky Bentley's house, she knew she had to get out fast. In the short time it took her and her son to run upstairs to grab the family cat, the rapidly rising water trapped them on the second floor of their home.
With the help of a neighbour, they manage to escape. But when the water receded and Becky finally returned to her property, she discovered most of the contents and drywall were unsalvageable. She thought her homeowners insurance would cover the losses; but found out that most standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage.
"The water got so high, everything was just destroyed," Becky recounted. "I didn't have flood insurance because I wasn't in a flood plain, so we were told we didn't need it."
Floods are the most frequent type of natural disaster in Canada. While some regions, such as coastal areas, are more flood-prone than others, the unpredictability of climate change exposes all property to some risk. And torrential rainfall isn't the only culprit. Flooding is also caused by mudflows, rapid snowmelt during spring and ice jams during winter.
Even a couple of centimeters of water can cause thousands of dollars in damage, shocking those who find out flood losses are specifically excluded from their homeowners and personal umbrella policies.
Flood insurance provides the protection you need to cover losses after a flood ravages your property. The cost of premiums vary based on the amount of coverage you need, what's covered and your property's flood risk.
New flood insurance policies usually have a 30-day waiting period, so don't delay in protecting one of your most valuable assets—your home. Contact Action Insurance Group today at 403 457-1000 for more information on flood insurance.

Goodtime sells East Village Hotel after nine months, different marketing strategy
The ground floor wine bar was created following a $1.6 million renovation five years ago.
Goodtime Hospitality has sold Darlinghurst's East Village Hotel – built in 1918 as the Tradesman's Arms.
The leasehold and freehold were offered for public sale in February – a month before the country's COVID lockdown.
At the time the real estate component was speculated to be worth more than $7 million.
The rooftop deck has city skyline views.
The campaign was later changed to a leaseback and a different marketing agency – JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group – was appointed to promote it off-market.
Kate MacDonald, Ben McDonald and Dylan McEvoy were the brokers.
Their deal comes in a month two other Darlinghurst pubs sold – but to occupiers – including Green Park Hotel 700 metres away which was acquired by neighbour St Vincent's Hospital and Courthouse Hotel – half that distance in Oxford Street, which Moelis will refurbish and hold in a new fund after outlaying $22m (story continues below).
Goodtime's makeover cost $1.6m
Goodtime, led by James Bodel and Lochy Peache but backed by six shareholders, offered the East Village Hotel at 234 Palmer St.
The business partners paid $3.5m for the three storey watering hole at the south east corner of Liverpool St at the end of 2015 then undertook a $1.6m refurbishment.
It is now fit out with a ground floor wine bar, first level athletics club and rooftop garden which enjoys city skyline views.
When the property was listed at the start of the year the business was deriving annual revenue of $3.6m.

Brooklyn, New York-More and more people on the subway have been covering their faces for a duration of more than three stops. This alarming epidemic is something of an enigma that has sprung on 2 and 3 trains, as well as 4 and 5 trains heading into Brooklyn.
This letter is about a month in the making. I was sure I was going to write it then I thought better, and said 'nah, you probably get thousands.' Then I thought better again and decided 'yeah, but you won't get thousands like this, cause there's only one of me, I'm an individual,' and la da dee—here I am writing to Mark Rylance.
Marcus Aurelius was sitting in a horse carriage when he had an ingenious idea.
We have been discussing Japanese World History and it is incredible how these people have somehow transformed their nation into one of the richest and most influential while remaining on a [comparatively] tiny island.
I had the best body in the sauna today, because I was the only one in there.
I am okay with both of those things being true.


It would've been different if I had courage, even an ounce of it. But I was a coward from the day I met you, Ryan Crowley. I still am. In the end it doesn't matter. The bottom line is the same. It's my fault.
When the unthinkable happens Carly Cavanough is left beaten, betrayed, and devastated. Her best friend doesn't understand. Her parents won't listen. Everyone in her life turns against her. She's alone. Completely alone, except for Ryan Crowley, the boy she's been crushing on for years. She won't admit to him what she can't admit to herself. But he understands without words. He knows more about what she's going through than she can possibly imagine and he knows what it will take to start the healing.
With Ryan's help Carly begins to piece together the fragments of her once perfect life and embarks on a journey of love and healing, just long enough for the rug to be pulled out from under her again. Can she find the strength and will to pull herself together to save Ryan and herself when their lives are on the line?
To My Hero was an emotional, powerful book that I really enjoyed. Carly is a high school student in an abusive relationship. She is the victim of an assault, and no one in her life will support her. Her parents don't believe her side of the story, her friends take the attacker's side, and she's all alone. Except for Ryan. Ryan has liked Carly for forever---unbeknownst to Carly---and she's liked him too. Ryan is Carly's rock as she recovers from her attack, and their friendship is her saving grace as her world falls apart around her.
I can't believe I'm admitting this publicly, but I didn't read the entire title before starting this book. Or, if I did, I forgot. Usually, that wouldn't be a big deal, but it was in this case. The part of the title that says "A Blog of Our Journey Together" is instrumental to the story. I didn't actually grasp that the entire book is written as a blog post until the end of the story. And then, the writing style----Carly is writing to Ryan, recounting events----made perfect sense. Until that point, I was a little put off by the unusual writing style. And so I'm telling you so you'll be prepared if you read this book---which I hope you do, because it was great!
The premise of To My Hero is a powerful one. I liked that Sibarium treated Carly's attack with the proper gravity and depth. I also liked that Carly behaved somewhat irrationally after her attack: not taking Ryan's advice about going to the hospital or police. I wanted her to act differently, but I felt like she was acting realistically and that made the book feel even more authentic. The ending came as a shock but was perfect for this story.
To My Hero is an emotional and deep story. I really loved it, and look forward to reading more from Danielle Sibarium.

January 14, 2014 – Vancouver, British Columbia - Noka Resources Inc. ("Noka" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NX, FSE: 2NK) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with Alpha Exploration Inc. ("Alpha") (TSX-V: AEX) under which Alpha may acquire a 60% interest in Noka's Carpenter Lake Property (the "Property") situated along the Cable Bay Shear Zone, proximal to the south-central rim of the Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan. The Property comprises five contiguous mineral dispositions for a total of approximately 20,637 hectares.
The Property straddles the CBSZ starting from approximately 1 km south from the southern edge of the Athabasca Basin. The Property has one of the strongest uranium in lake sediment values in the area at 89.5 ppm (amongst other strongly anomalous samples on the Property), with coincident strong airborne uranium radiometric anomalies, which are situated favourably down-ice from the CBSZ. There are only two closely spaced historic diamond drill holes on the Property, with graphitic and pyritic pelitic gneiss units intersected. In addition, numerous overburden drill holes outline a partially coincident nickel, copper, molybdenum, and arsenic soil anomaly; however, the overburden was only tested down to 25 m depth, with the depth to bedrock basement estimated at 35 to 40 m. The CBSZ on the Carpenter Lake Property is defined by three parallel EM conductor axis's; likely representing the hanging wall, foot wall, and middle of a conductive panel, which is similar to the EM geophysical signature associated with uranium mineralization at Patterson Lake South (PLS).
Exploration is being planned for this winter (Q1 2014) and is anticipated to include an airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey, as well as radon in water and sediment sampling. Radon sampling was very successful in locating high grade uranium mineralized zones at PLS in 2013. The methodology for sampling from lake ice in the winter was designed together by RadonEx of St Lazare, Quebec, and Alpha's VP Exploration, Garrett Ainsworth. The results from the PLS radon survey are a compelling reason to engage RadonEx to employ this method at Carpenter Lake. Follow-up work in the spring of 2014 will likely include airborne radiometrics, ground prospecting, lake sediment and radon sampling, and ground geophysics.
Under the terms of the Option Agreement (the "Agreement"), Alpha has the option to earn a 60% interest in the Property by making cash payments totalling $50,000, issuing 400,000 common shares, and completing work commitments of $1,250,000, all over a period of three years. Upon completion of the option, a joint venture will be formed between Alpha (60%) and Noka (40%) for the further development of the Property, with Alpha serving as the operator. Presently, the Property is subject to a royalty equal to 5% of gross revenues, which is owed to the original vendors (the "Underlying Royalty"). The Underlying Royalty rate can be reduced from 5% to 2% by Noka through the issuance of shares. In the event that Noka does not exercise its right to reduce the Underlying Royalty by certain future dates specified in the Agreement, then Noka will be subject to penalties, the effect of which will be that Noka's interest in the Property will be reduced, or possibly forfeited. The Agreement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Noka further announces that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to 5,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit to raise gross proceeds of up to $500,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one transferable share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") for a period of two years at a price of $0.20 per Warrant Share.
The Company may pay a finder's fees on a portion or all of the Private Placement.

Explainer: 10 things to know about Hong Kong's national security law – new crimes, procedures and agencies
by Elson Tong 19:20, 1 July 2020 19:31, 1 July 2020
On June 30, China's top legislature enacted Hong Kong's national security law. Its text was revealed to the public late at night – only in Chinese. First announced in May, the unprecedented criminal legislation was drafted in Beijing, rapidly tabled behind closed doors, and bypassed any local legislative oversight. The city's Secretary for Justice admitted the law would not be compatible with the city's common law tradition, while critics argued it spelt the end of the One Country, Two Systems framework.

Over the past month, the spectre of the law led the US to impose sanctions and trade restrictions on Hong Kong. The UK pledged to extended privileges to the city's "British National (Overseas)" passport holders, while Taiwan established a special office for humanitarian assistance.
As Tuesday neared, several Hong Kong opposition groups disbanded, activists fled overseas, and ordinary citizens scrubbed their social media accounts. Beijing has cited the need to plug a "loophole" whereby Hong Kong served as a base for endangering China's national security, claiming laws to criminalise sedition, foreign interference and terrorism was necessary to prevent the city's way of life. Pro-establishment figures have nevertheless likened the law to a "second handover".
10 key points
1. Broad offences
The national security law creates four offences, namely secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces to endanger national security. Each offence is widely-defined.
Secession is defined in Article 20 as "to participate, plan or implement… acts of secession… whether or not force or the threat of force is used."
Acts of secession refer to the secession of Hong Kong or any other part of China from the People's Republic, unlawfully changing the status of Hong Kong or any other part of China, or turning over Hong Kong or any other part of China to foreign rule. Read literally, the article may prohibit the advocacy of independence or self-determination for Hong Kong.

Subversion, meanwhile, is defined in Article 22 as "to participate, plan or implement… acts of subversion of the state, whether by force or other unlawful means."
Acts of subversion refer to overthrowing or damaging either the "fundamental system" of the People's Republic of China under its constitution, or the state organs of China or Hong Kong. These acts also refer to "serious interference, obstruction or damage" to the lawful exercise of powers by the state organs of China or Hong Kong, or attacking or damaging the venues and facilities by which Hong Kong's organs exercise their functions.
The latter clause may have been inspired by the storming of the Legislative Council or the defacement of the Chinese emblem by protesters last July.

Terrorism is defined in Article 24 as "to participate, plan, implement or participate in implementing acts that cause or intend to cause serious societal harm – with the aim of threatening the Chinese or Hong Kong governments, an international organisation or the public."
The acts in question include: Serious personal violence; using explosives, arson or poison, radioactive materials or diseases; destroying transportation and power facilities (among others); serious interference or destruction to infrastructure; or serious harm to public health and safety using other dangerous means.
The anti-extradition bill protests last year saw some of the acts mentioned above. While local and national officials have increasingly described protest violence as "terrorism", no charges under the existent United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Ordinance have been imposed so far.
Collusion with foreign forces is initially defined in Article 29 as "to steal, spy, bribe or unlawfully provide state secrets or intelligence related to national security on behalf of foreign institutions, organisations or agents."
A second definition of collusion is to request foreign institutions, organisations or agents to implement, conspire or support a number of acts: Threatening war or force against China; enacting laws and policies that cause serious obstruction or serious consequences to Hong Kong or China; manipulating or damaging elections; sanctions, blockades or other hostile activities; and using unlawful means to cause hatred among Hongkongers towards the Hong Kong or Chinese government.
Many Hongkongers have lobbied foreign governments to sanction local and mainland officials over the past year – notably for the US's Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, enacted in December. In January, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said she felt there was "something at work" behind the West's interest in the Hong Kong protests though said she did not have conclusive evidence.
To incite, assist, procure or provide financial or property aid to the four aforementioned offences all amount to a violation – perhaps placing donors to opposition political groups at risk.
2. Minimum sentences
For the four offences, "serious" cases will generally attract penalties of at least 10 years and up to life imprisonment. Regular cases will attract penalties of a minimum of three years behind bars and a maximum of 10 years.
File photo: HKFP/Ellie Ng.
Pursuant to Articles 31 and 35, convicted legislators, district councillors, civil servants, judges and other officials can be disqualified from their posts. Monetary penalties and license-revocation are also stipulated in relation to convicted companies or organisations.
There is discretion to reduce sentences for offenders who voluntarily cease or prevent offences, surrender to authorities, or reveal offences committed by others, pursuant to Article 33.
3. Overriding Hong Kong law
Article 62 provides that the security law overrides local Hong Kong law if there are inconsistencies.
One major inconsistency is Article 42, which states that bail shall not be granted to suspects, "unless the judge has convincing reasons to believe he/she will not continue acts that endanger national security." Hong Kong's Criminal Procedure Ordinance legislates a presumption in favour of bail as part of the common law presumption of innocence.
The power to interpret the national security law lies with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, according to Article 65.
In contrast to Article 158 of the Basic Law – which states that Hong Kong's mini-constitution can be interpreted by its own courts – there is no clause authorising local courts to interpret the national security law.
Whether courts can apply the new law in a manner consistent with human rights safeguards in Basic Law is therefore doubtful. Safeguards in the Bill of Rights Ordinance are referred to in Article 4, but the ordinance is local legislation.
File photo: Stand News.
The right to legal representation is legislated in Article 58, as is the right to a trial "as early as possible." There is no provision stating that the law is retrospective, as was widely feared. Article 39 states that offences and sentences will apply to acts after the law takes effect.
4. Secrecy and closed trials?
In general, Article 63 requires law enforcement, judges and other personnel – including defence lawyers – must not disclose "state secrets".
Trials may be closed to the public for reasons such as maintaining state secrets and public order, pursuant to Article 41.
File photo: Holmes Chan/HKFP.
While jury trials are permitted, Article 46 allows the Secretary for Justice to convene a panel of three judges for trial instead on grounds related to state secrets or external/diplomatic factors. However, whether or not a trial involves state secrets is decided by the Chief Executive, not the court, pursuant to Article 47.
5. Chinese organs and agents
Article 48 mandates that the Chinese government will establish a National Security Office (NSO) in Hong Kong, whose duties notably include the collection and analysis of national security intelligence and the "processing" of national security cases.
According to Articles 60 and 61, agents of the NSO are not bound by Hong Kong's legal jurisdiction while they are performing their duties. In fact, departments of the Hong Kong government are required to cooperate and prevent any obstruction of their work.
File photo: Tom Grundy/HKFP.
The NSO is authorised to "take necessary measures" to strengthen "management of and services to" NGOs and the media, pursuant to Article 54.
6. Jurisdiction, extradition and extraterritoriality
There is no literal reference to extradition to China in the national security law. Hong Kong is given the power to prosecute offences in its own courts as per Article 40.
However, Article 55 stipulates three exceptions: Where Hong Kong has "realistic difficulties" due to the involvement of foreign forces, where it has no effective means to enforce the law due to the seriousness of the situation, and where China is faced with grave realistic threats.

Under these three exceptions, China's Supreme People's Procuratorate can name "relevant procuratorates" to conduct prosecutions, while the Supreme People's Court can name "relevant courts" for trial.
This process would take place under mainland Chinese criminal law, pursuant to Article 56. The spectre of extradition may therefore have been implied.
Another notable jurisdictional issue arises from Article 38, which states that non-Hong Kong residents can be prosecuted for their acts outside of Hong Kong.
File photo: Rachel Wong/HKFP.
Read literally, critics of China – including Hong Kong's large diaspora – may face legal risks if they enter or return to the city.
7. New police powers
Under Article 16, a new National Security Department will be created within the Hong Kong Police Force, which must keep its operations secret.
In addition to existing police powers, Article 43 grants national security police officers a range of broad powers, including: Search powers, restricting overseas travel, freezing and confiscation of property, requiring services providers to delete information and provide assistance, requiring foreign political organisations to provide information, secret surveillance and interception of telecommunications, and requiring people implicated in cases to answer questions or provide information.
Some of these powers may be inconsistent with the common law right to silence, but as previously mentioned, the national security law overrides local legislation.
8. Hand-picked judges
Article 44 empowers the Chief Executive to pick judges and magistrates from all levels of Hong Kong's courts to deal with national security cases for a term of one year. The views of the Chief Justice may be considered.
However, judges who have "made statements or engaged in behaviour endangering national security" may not be picked.
It is unclear whether the anonymous judges who have spoken to Reuters in previous months with regards to the extradition bill and the national security law may fall foul of this rule.
File photo: GovHK.
There is no reference to prohibiting foreign judges from hearing cases, as was once suggested.
9. Other new organs
A new National Security Commission will be set up and chaired by the Chief Executive, while an advisor from the Chinese government will be delegated to it. Its budget will not be subject to Legislative Council supervision.
Furthermore, in keeping with Article 14, the Commission's decisions cannot be challenged by judicial review.
Photo: GovHK.
The Department of Justice will also set up a division to handle national security cases, which must keep its operations secret. The Chief Executive is required to submit annual reports on national security to the Chinese government.
10. National security education
According to Articles 9 and 10, the Hong Kong government is required to promote national security education through schools, social groups, the media and the internet.
With a number of public school teachers already having been disciplined, suspended or dismissed due to their perceived support for last year's protests, government control over school curriculum can be expected to intensify.

St. John Henry Newman Catholic High School 100 Brimley Road South, Scarborough, Ontario M1M 3X4
The Newman Mission
St John Henry Newman Catholic School is located on a magnificent 45 acre campus overlooking the Scarborough Bluffs and Lake Ontario, a site shared with St. Augustine's Seminary. Unlike traditional Catholic schools founded by religious orders, it opened in the fall of 1973 entirely staffed by lay Catholic teachers, as Cardinal Newman Catholic High School, in 2010 renamed Blessed Cardinal Newman C.H.S. and finally in 2019, as St John Henry Newman as our namesake, John Henry Newman, moved through the path to canonization.
Many of our teachers have since gone on to found, to teach and to administer similar schools in the system. Newman was one of two high schools in the system to pilot an integration program for students with special needs. We were among the first schools within the Toronto Catholic District School Board to introduce programs ranging from peer counseling and mediation to electronic keyboarding and communications technology. Our school was profiled in a video produced by the Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association in the 1990s for our exemplary work in developing programs which integrate Catholic values and teachings into the curriculum.
We are proud that innovation is a part of our tradition at Newman. Our school continues to thrive because of its tradition of providing a caring educational, social and spiritual environment for our students.
School Name Change
With the canonization of John Henry Cardinal Newman - October 2019 — the TCDSB officially recognized St John Henry Newman Catholic High School as the new name for our school at a Board Meeting in December 2019.

1973 - The First Year
The following is a dedication written to Mr. Howcraft in the schools first yearbook.
"To his staff he is a leader who, by his integrity, commands the respect and loyalty of his co-workers. He is a man of ability who recognizes, elicits, and synthesizes what is best in those with whom he forms a team.
Lorne Howcroft - Newman's First Principal
To the students he is a man of conviction, exercising authority as one who is himself subject to it. he is a man of understanding who maintains the dleicate balance between justice and mercy.
To all he is a man eminently concerned with intellectual and moral truth — one who, by his deep, Christian spirituality, deepens the spritual life of all who come into contact with him. His unfailing sense of humour helps you ride many a storm, although for the unwary it can occasionally boomerang. He is above all, a friend who willingly extends a helping hand, whatever the need, whenever the call.
In short, he personifies John Henry Newman's definition of a Christian and a gentleman. In dedicating our first yearbook, we proudly salute the principal of Cardinal Newman High School."

All election propaganda campaigns for the Western and Southern Provincial Councils will conclude by midnight today (26).
The Election Commissioner has requested all political parties and candidates to refrain from engaging in any form of election propaganda activity, from midnight today. He has said that this period of silence is for the voters to take a final decision after evaluating the information they have gathered.
Election offices which have already been established on polling district basis can function till the midnight of 27.03.2014, but propaganda activities at such offices should cease after midnight on 26.03.2014. Similarly, display of boards, posters or decorations in the notified central offices or in any office which is allowed to be established in the district for a candidate or in the residence of the candidate are prohibited after the midnight on 26.03.2013. All the candidates and supporters are therefore requested to remove all such boards and decorations after the midnight on Wednesday (26).
Teams of Police Officers of District/Regional Headquarters and monitoring officers will visit to inspect such places in the forenoon on Thursday (27). Also, party offices in polling districts should be removed from the forenoon on Friday (28) and action will be taken to remove illegal offices, if any.
The Election Commissioner has requested all the candidates and their supporters to comply with the above requirements in order to ensure a free and fair election.


This study assessed the effect of 10% neutral buffered formalin and of three ethanol solutions of different concentration on Mediterranean sardine and European anchovy oocytes over several temporal scales (days, weeks, months). The two species exhibit differences both in the elemental composition and the shape of their oocytes which further allowed an appraisal of oocyte shrinkage dynamics in relation to oocyte shape, developmental stage and composition. We showed that the effect of the preservative on oocyte size is stage specific while different preservation periods of ovarian material might lead to discrepancies among studies.

Q: C++ - Do local objects deallocate if an exception is thrown? I wanted to know if objects allocated in a stack get deallocated when an exception is thrown.
For example, in a function:
void some_function()
{
    int i;
    std::string str;

    throw std::runtime_error{"Some error"};
}

A: Destructors of local objects are guaranteed to be invoked as part of stack unwinding if there is a handler for the exception.
If there is no handler then it's up to the implementation:

C++11 §15.5.1/2:

" […] In the situation where no matching handler is found,
  it is implementation-defined whether or not the stack is unwound before std::terminate() is called.

A: Yes, they will be deallocated:

*

*First, their destructors, if any, are going to be invoked,

*Then their memory will be deallocated from the automatic storage area.

The second part is commonly implemented by removing the stack frame in which the object is allocated.
This feature is fundamental for implementing RAII, a technique for exception-safe resource management in C++.
Note: In case that there is no exception handler defined in your code the program is allowed to terminate without calling destructors, letting the operating system deal with the task of releasing the resources held by your program.

A: Local variables should be deallocated when an exception is thrown as the throw clause returns the function to calling function.
Consider that your function some_function() is called by main(). In this case the throw clause returns the function back to main there by deallocating the local variable declared in some_function

Peter Pan Synopsis
PETER PAN – THE BRITISH MUSICAL opens in the Victorian London home of the slightly eccentric Mr. and Mrs. Darling. ("The Darlings")
They have three children; Wendy, John and little Michael. Wendy often dreams of a boy named Peter Pan who visits her in her slumbers but who is he? Her mother reassures her he must be a figment of her imagination, appearing to her only in dreams.
One evening, Mrs. Darling is dozing by the fire in the Nursery when the window blows open of its own accord. Startled, she awakens to find an unkempt boy before her. Mrs. Darling's cry alerts the family dog, Nana, who barges into the room and endeavours to slam the window shut, before the boy can escape. The boy narrowly does escape, however, but not before his shadow is cut clean off by the closing window and it remains trapped in the Nursery.
Nervously, the boy returns for his shadow a few days' later and this time awakens and meets Wendy ("Peter"), who recognizes him from her dreams and sews his shadow back on for him.
Wendy learns Peter's most ardent wish is to remain a boy forever ("What happens when you're grown up?"). The cocky but lovable Peter Pan invites Wendy and her brothers to "Neverland", teaching them to fly ("Come Away, Come Away!") and guiding them over the oceans to his fantastical realm of fairies, mermaids and "Neverland" Indians.
There, Wendy enthusiastically takes up the role of Mother to Peter ("Wendy's Song") and his gang of Lost Boys in their secret underground home. But not everything is perfect in "Neverland". Evil Captain James Hook, an educated but dastardly pirate, is Peter Pan's arch nemesis ("Rich Damp Cake") and is set on his destruction.
While Mr. and Mrs. Darling remain inconsolable and heartbroken in London, their children become so ensconced in their "Neverland" adventures that they begin to forget their real family. And Wendy begins to wish more than anything that Peter would consider growing up to become a man ("Why?").
Wendy realises reluctantly Peter is indeed to stay forever young and knows it is long past time for her and her brothers to return home to her Mother and Father. And much to Peter's horror, she persuades the Lost Boys to join them on the journey.
Eventually Hook succeeds in defeating the tribe of Neverland Indians ("Braves To War") who have pledged to guard the Lost Boys. The Pirates then capture all the children as they leave their underground hide-out - except their ever-young leader, who then sleeps exhausted, believing his Lost Boys have safely left to fly away.
Hook makes his way into the hideout and sees Peter alone asleep. Hook then poisons the 'medicine' Wendy has left for Peter. Luckily Peter's loyal Fairy Tinkerbell wakes Peter after Hook's departure and explains the medicine has been poisoned, and not to touch it. Peter does not believe her – but before he can drink the medicine, Tinkerbell quickly drinks it first, and begins to die. Peter realises the only way Tinkerbell can be saved is to ask the Children of The World to believe in Fairies ("You Gotta Believe"). With the help of the children in the audience, Tinkerbell begins to recover and she is soon back to her old self again.
Now it is up to Peter Pan to rescue his friends, dispatch the pirates and settle things once and for all with Captain James Hook. Through cunning he steals onto the Pirates Ship and effects a daring rescue – which culminates in a battle between the Lost Boys and all the Pirates. Wendy, her brothers, the Lost Boys and Peter Pan are victorious – the Pirates are vanquished and Captain Hook disappears overboard into the jaws of the waiting crocodile.
Now it is truly time for Wendy, her brothers and the Lost Boys to journey home ("We're Going Home"). There they are adopted by a jubilant Mr & Mrs Darling who are so relieved and delighted to see their children again.
And it is only Peter Pan who continues his ever-youthful adventures in Neverland with his beloved fairy, Tinker Bell. But not before he makes one more journey to the children's nursery in England to see Wendy.
Wendy is initially overjoyed to see Peter again, as she believes he may have changed his mind and will be staying with her family. However all too soon she realises Peter has come to see her just once more. Very sadly Wendy is about to wish Peter 'Farewell' one last time before he flies away – but then…. Peter stops her, explaining the memory of the adventures they had together will live on forever and that Goodbyes would suggest some sort of ending –
And there is no ending to Peter Pan. He will just stay young and carefree forever ("Don't Say Goodbye").

Although the association of carnations with Mother's Day began in the United States and stretches back over 100 years, I grew up never really being conscious of it (likely due to some combination of being a terrible son and having little interest in historical events that didn't involve swords). In Japan, though, most people are aware that carnations are a symbol for Mother's Day, and a bouquet of the flowers is by far the most common gift given on the holiday.
20 percent of participants will be spending more than they did last year, either as a result of getting a raise or finishing their education and starting their first steady job. On average, they expect to spend 6,795 yen (US$67), although one individual who's either incredibly generous or mistakenly added an extra zero when filling out the questionnaire is looking to drop a cool million.
For those planning to give a gift, flowers were the most popular choice, with 37 percent saying Mom is getting a bouquet. At 23 percent, the number two choice was some unspecified kind of food or drink, with clothing and jewelry coming in third with 15 percent. Small personal items such as handkerchiefs or glasses cases came next with 12 percent, and just sneaking into the top five were health and beauty electronics, which accounted for 11 percent of responses.
This is sort of unexpected, as a love of gadgets is still something more associated with young men than the women who gave birth to them. On the other hand, it's hard not to imagine the implicit power of suggestion being in play here, considering the survey was conducted by one of Japan's largest electronics manufacturers, which is itself in the middle of a multi-year marketing push for its personal wellness and beauty products.
That said, our own Japanese-language correspondent Anji says she gave her mother Panasonic's Leg Reflex massager last year, after several years of happily using the same model herself. "It really helps the swelling in my legs, and I can't live without it," she gushes, while also mentioning the unit's outstanding cost performance (apparently, Anji isn't the one planning to spend 1,000,000 yen on Mother's Day this year).
Mothers' second-most-wanted gift was, predictably, flowers, at 73 percent. Another 67 percent said they'd like some kind of food or drink, 57 percent were hoping for small personal items, and just 11 percent said they be happy with a meal out or trip to a day spa. A couple of differences jump out between the two gift lists.
First is that, despite about one in seven kids planning to give their mothers clothing or jewelry, mothers didn't show a particularly strong desire for either, at least from their offspring. Second, the figure for the list compiled from the moms' responses add up to way more than 100 percent, so it looks like some are expecting more than a single present from their offspring.
But it's really the thought that counts, right? Children certainly seemed to think so. When asked "Why are you going to give a gift?" the near universal response was, "To show my appreciation," with 98 percent of participants giving that as their reason. Mothers, for their part, said things such as, "Anything they put some thought into will be fine," and "I'm just happy to have my children think of me as they choose a present." Still, we'd recommend thinking of her as you pick out a leg massager, just to be on the safe side.
