The mad scramble between Thanksgiving and Christmas just got six days shorter.Black Friday once again kicks off the start of the holiday shopping season. But with six fewer days than last year, it will be the shortest season since 2013 because Thanksgiving fell on the fourth Thursday in November — the latest possible date it could be. That means customers will have less time to shop and retailers will have less time to woo them.Adobe Analytics predicts a loss of billion in online revenue from a shortened season. Still, it expects online sales will reach 3.7 billion, up 14.1% from last year’s holiday seasonThe National Retail Federation, the nation’s largest retail trade group, baked the shorter season into its forecast, but it says the real drivers will be the job market. It forecasts that holiday sales will rise between 3.8% and 4.2%, an increase from the disappointing 2.1% growth seen in the November and December 2018 period that came well short of the group’s prediction.Last year’s holiday sales were hurt by turmoil over the White House trade policy with China and a delay in data collection by nearly a month because of a government shutdown. This year’s holiday forecast is above the average holiday sales growth of 3.7% over the previous five years.NRF expects online and other non-store sales, which are included in the total, to increase between 11% and 14%, for the holiday period.Black Friday is expected to once again be the largest shopping day of the season, followed by the last Saturday before Christmas, according to MasterCard SpendingPulse, which tracks spending across all types of payments including cash and check. Thanksgiving Day isn’t even on the top 10 holiday shopping days, according to MasterCard.The 2019 holiday season will be a good measure of the U.S. economy’s health. Many retail CEOs describe their customers has financially healthy, citing moderate wage growth and an unemployment rate hovering near a 50-year low.“The overall picture is positive,” said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. “People are spending out of positive cash flow as opposed to borrowing.”Economic growth has moderated since earlier this year, with growth at just 1.9% in the July-September quarter, down from 3.1% in the first three months of the year. Analysts blame at least part of that on the U.S.-China trade war, which has forced many companies to delay plans to invest and expand.That’s left consumers as the main drivers. So far, Americans have kept up their spending, allaying fears of a recession.With more holiday deals happening earlier to compensate for the late start, many have already started to shop. More than half of consumers have already started their holiday shopping and nearly a quarter of purchases have already been made, according to the annual survey released by the NRF and Prosper Insights & Analytics. The survey of 7,917 adult consumers was conducted Oct. 31 through Nov. 6.“This is further evidence that the holiday season has grown far beyond the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas,” said Matthew Shay, president and CEO of NRF, in a statement. 3173

The Mexican government is looking into taking legal action against the United States after six Mexican nationals were killed and seven others were injured in a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard said Sunday.During a press conference in Mexico City, Ebrard called the shooting an act of terrorism against Mexicans in the US and said the Mexican government will look into whether there is enough evidence to solicit the extradition of the gunman to face charges in Mexico.US authorities have not publicly identified the shooter, but three sources told CNN the suspect is 21-year-old Patrick Crusius of Allen, Texas. The sources were two federal officials and one state official.Authorities also are investigating a racist, anti-immigrant document they believe the suspect posted on the online message board 8chan before the shooting. The 2,300-word document, which police called a "manifesto," is filled with white supremacist language and racist hatred aimed at immigrants and Latinos. It blames immigrants and first-generation Americans for taking away jobs.In a video posted to his 1137

Tens of thousands of people were without power in Manhattan on Saturday evening, ConEdison said.There were 42,000 customers without power in New York, most of them in Midtown Manhattan and the Upper West Side, the utility company said.Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was campaigning for president in Iowa, said it appears the outage was the result of a mechanical problem in the electrical grid."This appears to be something that just went wrong in the way that they transmit power from one part of the city to another," he told CNN. "It sounds like it is addressable in a reasonable amount of time."The city's fire department was responding to numerous transformer fires, the first of which occurred in Manhattan on West 64th Street and West End Avenue, officials said.Several Broadway and off-Broadway shows said they were canceling performances, according to tweets aggregated by 889

The device looks similar to a taser, but acts more like a lasso with more and more police officers are adding it to their belt.“It will, much like a boomerang, wrap around the individuals extremities and prevent the individual from moving,” Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore said.LAPD is the most recent, and largest, police department to test the product. And their officers have to go through four hours of training to use it.“How could we provide the best tools and best options so officers would not have to resort to force, particularly deadly force,” Moore explained.Dozens of police departments around the U.S. are testing or have purchased the remote restraint device, including Sacramento, California, Fort Worth, Texas, and Minneapolis, Minnesota to name a few.“This tool is meant to be used early on in an encounter without causing pain to an individual,” Wrap Technologies Chief Operating Officer Mike Rothans said. He is a retired assistant sheriff with two children who work in law enforcement. The device works by releasing a cord that wraps around a person 20 to 25 feet away. On the end, there are metal anchors. The cord comes out of the device at 513 feet a second. At 10 feet, it drops to 270 feet a second.The devices costs ,000 a piece and are per use.“All you feel is maybe a metal slap from the anchors around each end of the cord. But it doesn’t really cause any pain,” Rothans said.Not everyone is convinced.What happens when someone’s in shorts or they’re in a skirt? What if they accidentally get someone’s neck?,” Cat Brooks, Co-founder of the Anti-Police Terror Project, explained. APTP is a coalition that works toward ending police terror.“We need to be transforming the way law enforcement engages with our community, not what weapons they have to be able to do so,” Brooks said.Rothans explained that one scenario the BolaWrap can be used in, is in the case of confronting someone dealing with a mental health problem.“Basically the issue with the mentally ill or dealing with people in crisis, isn’t unique to one particular area in the U.S.. It’s the same issue we see in small towns in Minnesota, or big cities like New York or Los Angeles,” he said. “Police officers have really become the de facto social services”People with severe mental illness are involved in at least one in four fatal police shootings, according to a study done by the Treatment Advocacy Center.“There’s really no reason to send a badge and a gun into that situation when you can send a mental health professional,” Brooks said.For officers, Rothans says this is a safer option that buys the responder some time.“This restricts their mobility and slows that individual down to allow officers to put a plan into place,” he explained.“There’s no perfect scenario or perfect formula,” Moore said during his press conference announcing the use of the device. 2899

The NHL and the NHL Player Association reached an agreement Friday night to move forward on a plan to resume the season, starting with a 24-team playoff. The season was suspended on March 12, as most teams had completed roughly 70 games of an 82-game schedule. The regular season was set to conclude in April, with the 16-team Stanley Cup Playoffs extending into early June. The resumption plan calls for 24 teams to participate in a playoff, while the bottom seven clubs would effectively have their seasons finished."The Executive Board of the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) has authorized further negotiations with the NHL on a 24-team return to play format to determine the winner of the 2020 Stanley Cup,” the NHLPA said in a statement. “Several details remain to be negotiated and an agreement on the format would still be subject to the parties reaching agreement on all issues relevant to resuming play."Earlier this week, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said that the season could resume with games being played in centralized locations. This would eliminate the need for travel and additional exposure to the coronavirus among players and team personnel. Bettman said that access to tests will remain a key issue in resuming the NHL season. 1282
