US-China battle presents an opportunity for Latin America’s middle men
The March 24 ceremony celebrated the Washington-based Inter-American Development Bank's (IDB) choice to hold its next annual meeting in Chengdu, China, a decision criticised by the United States, whose regional influence has been increasingly challenged by the Asian economic superpower.

The trade fight, which escalated further on Wednesday with China targeting key American imports including soybeans, planes and cars in retaliation for proposed US tariffs on $50bn (€40bn) in Chinese goods, has left Latin America in the middle, analysing risks and opportunities.

Lush warns profits will bomb as retailer struggles to break America
Soap and effervescent bath bomb maker Lush has warned that profits will almost halve this year despite record sales as trouble mounts in America. The cosmetics firm said it was expecting profits to fall 40% in 2018 mostly due to a significant slowdown in sales across the pond as well as losses in Germany. It made pre-tax profits of £73.4 million on sales of £743 million for the year to June 30, thanks to opening larger shops, up from £43 million and £563 million respectively the year before. Same-store sales at home were up by 12.2%, accounts showed. Lush was founded in Poole, Dorset in 1995 by dermatologist Mark Constantine and Liz Weir, a beauty therapist.

It paid £3 million in dividends for the financial year. … [Read more...] about Lush warns profits will bomb as retailer struggles to break America

Vicki Cockerill, parenting columnist. Photo: Vicki Cockerill When Elijah received his CHD diagnosis we were still in shock when we were dealt with another blow. He had suffered a Neo Natal stroke aka bleed on the brain. Only time would tell if Elijah would be able to walk and talk ‘normally’ or if at all. Not only was I told that my child needed a heart operation to save his life, but that he could have learning disabilities or difficulties. Deep down in my gut I didn’t know if I could do it. Elijah’s surgery was a common and well-practiced procedure that had been carried out since the … [Read more...] about Can you help young Harper get to America for life-changing treatment?
