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 controversy surrounding a nurse woman who ran in the London Marathon and was denied the "fastest nurse" world record because she wasn't wearing a dress has sparked a conversation about how the image of nurses has changed.Although not all nurses arrive to work donning white dresses, the stereotypical image of nurses remains.The Guinness World Records admitted that its guidelines were "outdated, incorrect and reflected a stereotype we do not in any way wish to perpetuate," according to Guinness World Records senior vice president Samantha Fay.Mary Lou Creech has been a registered nurse for the last 50 years, and her uniform used to be what you would expect for a stereotypical nurse. A lot has changed over the past decades, especially with her uniform.“I wore the white dress the white shoes the white hat,” Creech remembers. “In ICU that was a nightmare. But that's the way it was, and you just worked around it.”Now, at Vascular Institute of the Rockies, she works in scrubs, which is why she was surprised to learn a nurse was denied a spot with Guinness World Records as fastest marathon runner wearing a nurse's uniform because she wasn't wearing a dress.“That's too bad,” Creech says. “I mean it should be the job that they did, not what they're wearing.”“We were excited to see that social movement and see this new outcome,” says Liz Stokes with the American Nurses Association.Stokes says the image of nursing has changed, and not just in attire.“It's more diverse than the traditional what we saw years ago,” Stokes says. “You know we're more racially and ethnically diverse. Gender diversity as well as age.”She says this conversation can help to shatter stereotypes, but there is still more work to be done.“Our goal is to hope that we reflect what our patient’s population appears to be and we're not there,” Stokes says. “So, we still have a significant way to go.” 1902

The cars near the site of a gas explosion that killed one person in Durham, North Carolina, on Wednesday look like they've been in accidents.Windows are blown out. Air bags are deployed. Some have dents and dings. The roads are awash in glass, so much so they glisten. The air reeks of dust and pollen.Some 60 emergency responders and cleanup people are on the scene of the blast, which happened hours earlier after someone smelled gas.Authorities said 17 people, including a firefighter, were hospitalized. Six people were critically wounded, said Lee VanVleet of Durham County Emergency Medical ServicesEmergency responders were evacuating the area when the blast erupted, Durham Fire Chief Robert Zoldos said.The blast occurred just after 10 a.m. in the busy area of Brightleaf Square, where people grab a morning coffee and visit other shops. A contractor boring under the sidewalk hit a 2-inch gas line, said Durham police spokesman Wil Glenn.The search-and-rescue mission has given way to a cleanup operation. Workers were using heavy-duty backpack blowers to clear debris on the ground and firefighters were spraying the remaining hot spots with water.One of the critically injured patients was taken to the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center in Chapel Hill, VanVleet said. A Dominion Energy employee who responded to the initial gas leak was among the injured, police said.The firefighter's injuries are serious but not life-threatening, Zoldos said. He was in surgery, the chief said.Authorities asked people to avoid the Brightleaf Square area and warned that parts of downtown will be closed, possibly for a couple of days, as they conduct their investigation.Maverick's Smokehouse & Taproom, though closed to the public, brought in employees to help feed the emergency crews.Sounded like a bomb, office worker saysA witness described a scene like a war zone, with first responders scrambling to ferry injured people to safety after the blast."Half the block is destroyed," Jim Rogalski told CNN via text message. "Lots of injuries. Our office across the street was blown out. It was terrifying. Glass and debris everywhere. No one killed in our office but several injuries -- deep cuts, head lacerations.""The ceiling tiles and structures collapse(d)," added Rogalski, whose workplace is across the street from where the blast occurred. "Windows blown out a block away. Our office was filled with glass, dust and debris."A human resources employee told Rogalski and his co-workers that authorities were investigating a gas leak across the street and they should remain inside. About 15 minutes later, they heard what sounded like a bomb, he told CNN."The first second was stunned silence, then lots of scream(ing) in the building. Several of us shouted, 'Is anyone hurt?'" he recalled. "The injured were quickly taken to an exit."Another person who works nearby said firefighters entered his building and told employees that workers had hit a gas line, and "we heard the big explosion right after they told us they may evacuate us."The blast shook the structure and blew out its windows, said the witness, who declined to give his name."It sounded like the building was going to collapse, and we left immediately," he said.Police arrived quickly, within about a minute, Rogalski said, and he went outside to find throngs of people and paramedics trying to help the injured. Firefighters soon arrived and pushed everyone back about four blocks in case of another explosion, he said."Paramedics pulled writhing people on the street to safety," he said, adding that he saw bystanders using their own shirts to treat injuries.The Durham School of the Arts is nearby and reported no injuries but said it was sending students home early. Students without transportation will be taken to the Brogden Middle School auditorium to wait for their parents, the school said.The building where the blast occurred is a former Studebaker dealership that now appears to host other businesses, including a coffee shop and a mental health clinic. Aerial video showed the two-story building missing its roof and back wall, the inside filled with charred debris.Four other buildings were damaged, officials said. The city observed the 150th anniversary of its founding on Wednesday. 4288

The legal troubles for Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy hedge fund manager, date back to 2005 when a 14-year-old girl and her parents claimed Epstein molested her at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. That was the beginning of an investigation that started at a local level and ended up in the hands of the FBI.But even then, in 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to only two prostitution charges — one for solicitation of a minor.He served 13 months in the Palm Beach County stockade, part of that out on work release, before he got out in 2009.He was required to register as a sex offender.During that time, lawsuits began pouring in: first, in 2008, from an anonymous woman seeking million, saying she was forced to have sex with Epstein when she was a teen.Epstein settled those cases out of court for an undisclosed sum.Last month he was arrested again, this time by federal agents in New York for sex trafficking charges.The FBI credited investigative reporting to their case. And as a result, numerous investigations have now been launched at the federal, state and local level.In late July Epstein was found injured in his jail cell with marks on his neck.He was placed on suicide watch following the incident.On Friday a federal appeals court unsealed nearly 2,000 pages of records related to a civil case against a victim and the woman who allegedly procured teens for Epstein. It included names of other high-profile individuals possibly tied to Epstein’s sex ring.On August 10, 1495

The current cavernous gap in ideology between America's two political parties was on display again in the House of Representatives earlier this week. But this time, the topic wasn't border security, healthcare or presidential powers.Democrats and Republicans chose to trade barbs about the band Nickelback.The discussion cropped up during debate over a voting rights provision. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisconsin) mentioned that only four in 77,000 were in favor of the provision."That's probably about the percent of people who think Nickelback is their favorite band in this country — it's pretty low," Pocan said.Pocan was likely drawing on anti-Nickelback sentiment that has become a meme in recent years. In 2010, a Facebook group called "Can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback?" 798
