The toy seller has since begun to attempt a comeback through a partnership with Macy’s, and opened its first post-bankruptcy store in 2019 under new ownership. Toys ‘R’ Us honored its gift cards, store credit and coupons for a 30-day period after it filed for bankruptcy in 2017, and subsequently liquidated its US business.

Bed Bath & Beyond announced plans to permanently close about 200 stores over the next two years. Other retailers have followed a similar game plan after bankruptcy and store closings.Ī view of Bed Bath & Beyond Branch in New York City on September 22, 2020. The company expects to notify customers about its registry plans in the coming days. Bed Bath & Beyond said it will no longer award points to customers for purchases, starting Sunday.īed Bath & Beyond, a staple of wedding registries for years, said customers who registered with Bed Bath & Beyond will eventually have their information transferred to a competitor’s service, where guests can purchase similar items. The store will stop accepting gift cards on May 8, and the brands Welcome Rewards points will stop being accepted on May 15. The company encouraged shoppers to seek out its discounted merchandise later this week, but those sales come with big caveats: Items purchased before Wednesday can be returned until May 24, but all sales after Wednesday will be final. After that, and especially if it starts closing stores and sets liquidation sales, creditors wouldn’t want to allow shoppers to tack on those 20% off coupons on top of 70% off liquidation prices,” said Burt Flickinger, retail expert and managing director of retail consultancy Strategic Resource Group. ![]() “If Bed Bath & Beyond files for bankruptcy, the retailer might honor the 20% coupons for a 30-day period. Instead, Bed Bath & Beyond expects to offer “deep discounts” on its products as part of its going-out-of-business sales. The company will stop accepting coupons on Wednesday. The company said customers will have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to use their remaining 20%-off coupons. GrowBot is based on a strongly interdisciplinary character and can open the way for a new technological paradigm around the concept of growing robots, fostering a European innovation eco-system for several high-tech sectors.Bed Bath & Beyond coupon shoppers take note: If you have a stash of its big blue 20% off coupons in your drawer or in your inbox, better use them soon.īed Bath & Beyond said it would sell off its merchandise and then go out of business. ![]() The GrowBot objective is to develop low-mass and low-volume robots capable of anchoring themselves, negotiating voids, and more generally climbing, where current climbing robots based on wheels, legs, or rails would get stuck or fall. This continuous growth is particularly evident in climbing plants. To move from one point to another, plants must grow and continuously adapt their body to the external environmental conditions. ![]() Instead, they move greatly, on a different time scale, purposively, effectively and efficiently. Plants are still a quite unexplored model in robotics and ICT technologies, as their sessile nature leads to think that they do not move. GrowBot proposes a disruptively new paradigm of movement in robotics inspired by the moving-by-growing abilities of climbing plants. GrowBot is a European project funded under the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) programme, specifically FET-Proactive, of the EU framework programme for research and innovation (Horizon 2020). ![]()

FLOYD (mid 50s-early 60s) - A breakfast patron of Sea Hags. CORAL (late 40s/early 50s) - A flat broke, snowbound, middle-age former mermaid and co-owner of Sea Hags, a ramshackle bed and breakfast at the New Jersey seashore.And, like Coral, Oceana and Marina, you may find that "happily ever after" is closer than you think! But love being what is is, gives Pearl some ideas of her own.įoolish Fishgirls and The Pearl is a feisty fairytale about a mermaid's life on dry land after true love is found, lost and found again. Helped by their cousin Marina who was unceremoniously dumped by the Captain when her treasure finally ran out, the trio of middle age former sea goddesses try to convince the young mermaid, Pearl, to hightail it back to the sea. When Coral and Oceana learn of a mermaid rescue involving a young Coast Guard Lieutenant whose car went off a nearby bridge, they dive into action to find the young, innocent mermaid and warn her about the perils and pitfalls of falling in love with mortal men who abscond with your gems, leaving you penniless with a broken heart and two skinny legs. ![]() Talk about unhappy endings!Ĭoral's sailor, Fernandi, took off with her treasure and returned home to his wife and four kids in Venezuela! Oceana's dreambot, Hans, hit the road with her treasure to live happily ever after with his boyfriend, Juergen, in Norway! It comes, rather, from “boogie,” US slang from the early 20th century originally meaning a style of blues music and later adopted in a more general form to mean “to dance energetically.” An even broader use of “boogie” to mean “move quickly” or “get going” appeared in the 1970s, and “to book,” meaning “to leave to move quickly and purposefully,” appears to be simply a modified form of “boogie” used in that sense.Former deep sea divas, Coral and Oceana, didn't exactly have the "happily ever after" storybook lives that the two erstwhile mermaids dreamed of when they rescued their handsome young sailors and swam ashore thirty years ago. “Book,” meaning “to leave,” apparently has nothing to do with the usual senses of “book” as a noun or verb (as in “Book ’em, Danno”). Many animals, including deer and horses, raise their tails when they flee, making the action a good metaphor for a panicked retreat. The best guess I’ve seen is that “skedaddle,” which first appeared as military slang meaning “to flee” during the American Civil War, is related in some way to the Irish word “sgedadol,” meaning “scattered.” “Skedaddle” is a much shorter story, simply because nothing is known of its origins. “Bolt” as a verb meaning “leave suddenly and quickly” also harks back to this original “arrow” meaning, the sense being that the person leaves as if shot like an arrow. The use of “bolt” to mean “arrow” also led to it meaning “stout pin used to hold things together” and even “a roll of fabric” (from its shape). By the early 16th century, we were also using “bolt” to mean a discharge of lightning (“thunderbolt”) and, shortly thereafter, as a metaphor for something dramatic and unanticipated (“bolt from the blue”). When “bolt” first appeared in Old English, derived from Germanic roots, it meant “projectile,” particularly the sort of short arrow fired from a crossbow. As you’ve noticed, the lexicon of leaving is a rich and varied one, a tribute to the usual wisdom of choosing “flight” over “fight.” The verb “to bolt,” meaning “to dart or rush suddenly away” is one of the oldest on your list, but to explain the verb “to bolt” we must first explain the noun form. More often the question runs something like “Where did ‘cat o’ nine tails’ come from? Is the Mississippi named for somebody? And, by the way, is ‘snuck’ a real word?” At least the words are related in meaning. Leaving so soon? I must say that yours is one of the better jobs I’ve seen of shoehorning multiple questions into one email. ![]() ![]() I conjecture that “bolt” comes from a bolt of lightning, and “skedaddle” sounds like it means, but why have “book” and “hightail” come to mean “leave quickly?” - Michael Duggan. ![]() Dear Word Detective: When needing a quick exit, I might bolt for freedom, hightail it out of there, skedaddle, or just book it out of there. ![]() The cross section of a body that is placed in an airstream in order to produce a useful aerodynamic force in the most efficient manner possible. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia™ Copyright © 2022, Columbia University Press. Other airfoils include propeller blades and the blades utilized in turbojet engines. In aircraft of the swing-wing type, in which the sweep of the wings is variable, the entire wing can be considered a control surface. Spoilers, which can be made to protrude from lifting surfaces to give controlled reduction of lift, often replace ailerons and elevators. ![]() Flaps are located near the ailerons to increase lift for takeoff and landing. The rudder, which is hinged to the rear of the vertical airfoil of the tail assembly, is used to produce yawing. Elevators, which are hinged to the rear of the horizontal airfoil of the tail assembly, are used to produce pitching, which occurs when an airplane in level flight points its nose upward or downward. Modern aircraft have fairly complex arrays of control surfaces, including elevators, a rudder, and flaps. Ailerons, control surfaces hinged to the trailing edges of wings, can produce rolling, which is rotational motion of the aircraft about a line running through its fuselage, or yawing, which is rotational motion about a line running from the top to the bottom of an aircraft. Airfoils that are manipulated to produce variable forces are called control surfaces. ![]() For example, the fixed wing surfaces of an airplane produce lift, which opposes gravity. I must note that this effect is confined to low Reynolds numbers, on the order of $10^4$.Airfoil, surface designed to develop a desired force by reaction with a fluid, especially air, that is flowing across the surface. ![]() The same effect will of course occur in the opposite direction, with a barely attached turbulent layer detaching and staying that way if the free flow turbulence decreases enough to cause it to turn laminar. It will then remain attached if the turbulator is removed, displaying a hysteresis loop. Where this gets really interesting is at low Reynolds numbers, where a laminar layer will detach, but become reattached if turbulence is introduced into the airflow ahead of the airfoil, such as by a turbulator. A turbulent layer will generate more drag, but separate at higher airfoil angles of attack. Note this linear theory loses its validity at a fluctuation level of 1 to 1.5 percent, which corresponds to an N-factor of 6.9 to 7.3, meaning it is not suitable for highly turbulent flows.Īs to what this is important for, the turbulent or laminar nature of the boundary layer affects flow separation and viscous drag. XFLR5 uses the same method as XFOIL, which is an adaptation of the $e^N$ transition theory. The Ncrit value is a measure of free flow turbulence and is used to simulate the transition location when no forced trip location is given. They are akin to placing a trip strip at those locations. The forced transition trip locations are exactly that, expressed as a fraction of the chord, for the top and bottom surfaces. The whole setting group is called transition settings, and refers to the boundary layer transition point (from laminar to turbulent). ![]() Standard & Poor’s and S&P are registered trademarks of Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and Dow Jones is a registered trademark of Dow Jones Trademark Holdings LLC.

The driver of the Subaru told police that Ramsey “pulled him in close and started punching his body.” Ramsey also bit the driver, “ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose,” the news report said. The incident took place in a parking garage near Razorback Stadium at the University of Arkansas. It later released a brief statement announcing that Ramsey “has been suspended effective immediately.”įayetteville, Arkansas, news station KNWA, citing a police report, said Beyond Meat’s Ramsey “punched through the back windshield” of a Subaru that had hit the tire of his Bronco. The company didn’t respond to requests for comment on the arrest. Ramsey was released on an $11,000 bond the following day, according to court records.

HALFEN, GUIRO, TWEEL and SHOYU were sympathetically clued - thank goodness! A little word here for the lovely clue for RETAILERS, which seemed to dip into Roy Clarke’s other famous creation with Arkwright, Granville and Gladys Emmanuel. It was CUISH which caused me the most difficulty, and, despite having set Judd-based clues myself, I sadly didn’t manage to get Donald out of my mind, so that the parsing of that clue caused me serious trouble until disgracefully recently: that is code for ‘just now’! I am still in doubt as to the exact workings of CLEGG and RETRO, but maybe they will come to me before the Newsletter makes all clear.ĭid Calluna have a stroke of luck with LILANGENI, or was the grid plan Eswatini-ready from the start? I was too stuck trying to think of Italian mathematicians who weren’t Leonardo of Pisa to be helped by Frank Paul’s delightful visual clue, and feel about integrals rather as the uninitiated tend to feel about 3D Cryptics. Without those, I think I would have struggled with the harder ones, as there are a few relatively obscure words here. ![]() There are a handful of easy clues to help us along: EDITING, NAIVE, SISAL and UNTIE come into that bracket. Vlad shows his great skill in composing such an economical and appropriate clue for the wonderful Bill Owen’s character COMPO SIMMONITE, while the other characters’ clues have a satisfying consistency about them. From that point, the six thematics should have become much easier. Roy Clarke’s affectionate, astonishingly inventive and consistent evocations of character are well described. He had saved up a beauty for the central thematic Day 18, which gives no inkling of what is about to be revealed. ![]() That shock to the system over, Vlad’s tougher challenges awaited. My first clue solved was CREPUSCLE, though I had to check in Chambers that such a spelling was acceptable - of course it was, though I’d never seen it before. Compo, Clegg and Foggy (no room for the others, but you can’t have everything, and it’s with that trio that I remember the series, comforting Sunday-night watching in the 1980s, staving off the return to work the next day) fitted in beautifully. ![]() HOLMFIRTH, the fascinating SIMMONITE and NORA BATTY (in administrative or perhaps Magyar form) satisfyingly framed the subject-matter. Nine-letter words are plentiful and varied, as the devisers of Countdown anticipated all those years ago, and with this theme the grid worked perfectly. 9x5x5 gives a satisfying proportion to the page: no straining to see the cells, and an elegant layout which will make this page most welcome on my kitchen wall in the least attractive of months. Solvers can be delighted that there’s more to come, while this grid was for me a most welcome innovation. When I sat next to half of Calluna at the 2021 Calendar’s Prizes Lunch, I had no idea of the full extent of this composing team’s expertise and originality. Graham Fox’s highly thematic photograph sets the pattern for a year of sumptuous colouring: here I detect an appropriate touch of nostalgia in this painterly image.
![]() The representative plaintiff must show it is not plain and obvious that no claim exists and there is “some basis in fact” to meet the remaining elements of the test. They focus on whether the representative plaintiff and the proposed class action meet the elements of the prescribed test: whether the claim: (i) discloses a cause of action (ii) contains an identifiable class (iii) proposes issues common to the class (iv) is the preferable procedure for resolving the complaint and (v) has an appropriate representative plaintiff. Judges hearing certification motions rarely consider the merits of the lawsuit. Rather, it is a procedural matter aimed at screening cases that are not appropriate to be dealt with as a class proceeding. It has become increasingly difficult to successfully oppose class certification in Ontario or other common-law provinces.Ĭertification does not determine the merits of the case. While witnesses providing affidavit evidence are subject to cross-examination, unlike in the United States there is not usually any documentary or oral discovery of the parties prior to the certification hearing. The motion can require extensive preparation of affidavit evidence, expert reports, and written materials, and may take over a year before it is heard by the court. This is done through a motion for certification. ![]() ![]() In Ontario (and all of the other common law provinces except for Prince Edward Island which does not have class proceedings legislation), an action must be “certified” as a class action, a representative plaintiff must be appointed by the court, and common issues or questions of fact or law must be certified by a judge to be determined at trial before a case can proceed as a class action. These implications are discussed below, comparing and contrasting the regimes in Ontario and Québec. It also affects the speed at which the actions will proceed. The result of being subject to different legal regimes means that plaintiffs can seek slightly different relief in each province. This is of greatest procedural consequence when one class action is proceeding in Québec, which has a different legal and procedural regime than the rest of Canada (Québec has a civil law, rather than a common law system). Class actions can proceed in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously and the cases will not necessarily be consolidated. Unlike the United States, Canada does not have a “multidistrict litigation” system to consolidate these cases. It is therefore common to see separate class actions launched in multiple jurisdictions against the same defendant for the same claims. Class Actions Across CanadaĪ class action may be commenced in any common law province, and can be brought on behalf of class members in that province or across multiple regions in Canada. However, the significant financial costs associated with class action litigation can also influence defendants to pay money to settle cases without merit that they might defend in an individual action. For defendants, class actions are beneficial in that the result in the case binds all class members, preventing those class members from pursuing subsequent, separate cases. For plaintiffs, class actions are seen as a tool to increase access to justice, as the costs of litigation are shared among a larger group, and the downside risk is limited as costs in unsuccessful cases are often underwritten by the plaintiffs’ law firm or a third party fund. If the plaintiff recovers money or other remedies in the case, all class members share in that recovery. Unlike the United States, Canada does not have a “multidistrict litigation” system to consolidate multiple cases against the same defendant against for the same claims. Instead of starting separate lawsuits or having each plaintiff named in the case, the representative plaintiff can pursue the claim on behalf of the class. What Is A Class Action?Ī class action is a form of civil action where one or a few plaintiffs can sue a defendant or a number of defendants on behalf of a larger group of people who claim the same type of loss from the same defendant of group of defendants. In our first instalment, we explore the two primary class action regimes in Canada: the common law approach and the Québec civil law procedure. In this series, we will examine the different class action regimes in Canada, and focus on recent class action trends in areas such as privacy, employment and competition law. ![]() Class actions are a well-entrenched form of litigation in Canada, and therefore a significant business risk for Canadian and international companies doing business in Canada. |
