Your Guide to Black Friday Shopping

November 15, 2020 [email protected]_84 black, Friday, guide, shopping

Laptops — sort of. The Wirecutter Deals team has seen a lot of good early Black Friday deals on Wirecutter picks like the Lenovo c740, the Lenovo c940 and the Lenovo X1 Carbon (8th Gen) from Best Buy and Lenovo itself. Mr. Burrow expects the same deals again on Black Friday, supply permitting, but whether you can wait that long comes down to your needs. Because it’s a bit of a tossup, follow the Wirecutter Deals team coverage in the run-up to Black Friday, and we’ll do the vetting of deals for you.

What to buy on Black Friday

Audio gear. Wait until Black Friday if anything audio-related — wireless earbuds, noise-canceling headphones, portable Bluetooth speakers, soundbars and more — tops your wish list. Mr. Burrow says it’s better to wait because the discounts will probably be steeper.

Apple devices. Apple rarely offers significant discounts on its products, but Mr. Burrow expects a few small drops on the new Apple Watch Series 6 and Series 6 SE come Black Friday. The Wirecutter Deals team has already spotted a few deals for the new 8th-generation iPad in the past few weeks, and it’s likely we’ll still see better deals closer to the big deals event. Even if you’re thinking of upgrading to the new iPhone (which probably won’t see markdowns), Mr. Burrow still suggests waiting: Many retailers, including Apple itself, will offer gift cards (rather than lower prices) in exchange for products purchased. It’s better to wait and collect a store gift card than to shop now and leave empty-handed.

Health and grooming. Mr. Burrow predicts that the price of razors, electric hair trimmers, toothbrushes and hairstyling tools will drop on Black Friday. Wait to nab these personal care products when they’re at their lowest.

Vacuums. Though many stores are now offering great early deals on all types of vacuums, it’s worth waiting until Black Friday to buy. Even if the prices don’t drop much lower, you’ll have more options to choose from: Whether you’re looking for a robot vacuum that does the work for you or a cordless Dyson stick vacuum, the deals will be there.

What to wait until 2021 to buy

Mattresses. There will be a few Black Friday mattress discounts this year, but the best deals historically arrive in February. Unless your mattress is keeping you up at night, wait it out. The prices will be better, and you’ll have a better range of options, too.

Outdoor gear. REI doesn’t participate in Black Friday, but it holds two yearly sales, in May and September. During those sales, you will have a wider array of discounted gear to choose from, and a variety of retailers to choose from, because Backcountry and Amazon typically match many of REI’s discounts. But if you can’t wait, Mr. Burrow expects to see a few small deals on outdoor gear this month.

A $20-million gift will help Brown admit more veterans

November 15, 2020 [email protected]_84 20million, admit, brown, Gift, Veterans

By Mary K. Talbot
| Special To The Journal

Brown University has announced that it is one step closer to its goal of doubling the number of U.S. military veterans enrolled as undergraduates by 2024 with a multimillion-dollar gift from 1st Lt. Joseph P. Healey, an Army veteran who served in the Medical Service Corps at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

Half of Healey’s $20-million gift will create a permanent endowment for the Elaine and Joseph Healey Scholarship for Veterans. The remaining $10 million will honor Healey’s mother by funding a scholarship for students in Brown’s Resumed Undergraduate Education program — an initiative that admits qualified prospective students who take an indirect route to college because of family, financial, military-service, health issues or other compelling reasons.

Healey — cofounder of HealthCor, an investment management firm — came from humble roots. He was raised by a single mother in Warwick, and at one point, his mother, Tonia, lost her job. The family went on welfare.

Looking for a means to improve their circumstances, Tonia applied to Brown. For four years, she rode a RIPTA bus between Warwick and Providence to gain the education that would let her start a career in psychiatric nursing to support her family.

“I saw the power in what Brown was able to offer to my mom, who showed me what it means to be a fighter and a survivor,” Healey said.

Six years later, as he approached high school graduation, Healey was determined to follow in his mother’s footsteps and earn a college degree. But the cost of tuition was still an obstacle.

“Coming from a single-parent family, finances were tough, even with financial aid packages,” Healey said. “Thankfully, I applied for — and was awarded — an Army ROTC four-year scholarship.”

Healey attended Boston University before serving in the Medical Service Corps and remembers that “those years taught me invaluable lessons about discipline, honor, service and camaraderie that remain with me every day.”

Healy made the gift to Brown out of appreciation for the educational opportunities his family was given, and in recognition of the pivotal impact that those college educations made on their collective futures.

“A Brown degree is a ticket that opens doors for the rest of your life,” Healey said. “My hope is that this gift will open the doors of higher education to student veterans and students exploring education later in life, who didn’t think a Brown education was even possible. … I want to give someone else the chance that I had.”

Brown University’s president, Christina H. Paxson, said: “This generous gift from Joe Healey and his family marks a major step toward fulfilling our promise.”

Paxson and the university community pledged to admit veterans through a need-blind process and provide full financial support during their years of undergraduate education, beginning with the class of 2024. To date, the university has raised $11.3 million of its $25-million goal to fund the endowment.

The Job No One Knew Prince Andrew and Prince Edward Had on Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s Wedding Day

November 15, 2020 [email protected]_84 Andrew, Charles, Day, Dianas, Edward, Job, Knew, prince, princess, wedding

Prince Charles and Princess Diana were married on July 29, 1981, in what was dubbed “the wedding of the century.”

The ceremony lived up to the hype with Diana’s trend-setting gown, her 25-foot-long train, and thousands of onlookers packing St. Paul’s Catherdral as 750 million more watched from around the world. And on that day Prince Charles’ younger brothers, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were assigned a job you might not have expected.

What Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were assigned to that day

Charles chose Edward and Andrew as his supporters (the equivalent of best man) when he wed Diana. But the princes also had another specific job to do that day that some thought would have been done by palace aides.

Brides.com reported that it wasn’t royal staffers but rather the future king’s siblings who attached the “Just Married” sign as well as silver and blue balloons to the carriage that took Charles and Diana to Waterloo Station. The newly-married couple spent two nights in Hampshire before embarking on a two-week cruise through the Mediterranean on the Royal Yacht Brittania.

There is an iconic moment that happened after the Prince and Princess of Wales tied the knot which occurred on the balcony of Buckingham Palace that Prince Andrew is responsible for.

When the newlyweds appeared on the balcony and shared a kiss they started a post-royal-wedding tradition. However, that idea wasn’t Charles or Diana’s and may have never happened if it wasn’t for Prince Andrew.

The Express noted that according to Diana’s biographer Andrew Morton, the idea to do that was a spur-of-the-moment nudge from the Duke of York.

“On the palace balcony later, it was Andrew who was responsible for that kiss,” Morton said. “As bride and groom waved happily to the hundreds of thousands thronging outside the palace, Andrew urged Charles: ‘Give her a kiss!’ Big brother obliged, to the delight of the nation.”

Morton also revealed that following a miscue when Charles and Diana exchanged vows, Prince Andrew teased the princess during her wedding reception.

Morton stated that Charles’ brother caught Diana’s slip-up when she agreed to take the hand of “Philip Charles Arthur George,” and decided to have a little fun with her for calling Charles by his dad’s name first.

“It was the wedding of the decade when Charles married Lady Di and [Prince] Andrew carried the ring to the marriage ceremony televised around the

Canadian companies uncover market for mask accessories – Business News

November 15, 2020 [email protected]_84 accessories, Business, canadian, companies, Market, mask, News, Uncover

Photo: The Canadian Press

Toronto clothing designer Hilary MacMillan poses for a photograph wearing her self-designed mask chains at her studio in Toronto.

When COVID-19 began spreading across Canada and face masks became the year’s hottest fashion accessory, Hilary MacMillan uncovered an opportunity.

The Toronto fashion designer noticed people wanted a way to make their masks trendy and keep them handy when having to take them off for a bite to eat, so she joined the waves of retailers selling mask chains — 70-centimetre lengths of marble or gold that MacMillan has designed to hang from masks and provide a hint of style.

“COVID has kind of pushed everyone into new directions and that’s the same with us,” said MacMillan.

Her $25 mask chains are part of a growing group of products entrepreneurs have dreamed up to target just about every mask-related want, need or problem.

Can’t stop your mask from irritating your nose or ears? There are headbands, ear muffs and hats to attach the straps to, soft pads you can add to problem spots and clips to keep masks in place.

Is covering up causing you to break out in maskne (mask-induced acne)? Look out for sheet masks, cleansers and moisturizers targeted at the lower half of your face.

Not sure where to put your mask when dining out or at the dentist? Consider pouches, bags and containers in just about every size and material.

If you’re sporting facial hair, there are beard guards that fit with masks and if you wear glasses, sprays and lenses that promise to reduce or eliminate fog too.

“You’re literally watching a product category be born and it’s going to grow,” said Joanne McNeish, an associate professor at Ryerson University specializing in marketing.

There’s plenty of money to be made in the new market, she said, because people are realizing masks are going to be part of their lives for longer than they imagined, and while out in public they’re stumbling on problems like chafed noses or the need for storage space.

Just 15 per cent of face masks being sold are described as comfortable, 6 per cent are marketed as breathable and 7 per cent are called lightweight, according to research from U.K.-based retail market intelligence company Edited.

Entrepreneurs who can address such problems and predict that unmet need early stand to win, said McNeish.

However, health experts caution that not all of these innovations are a good idea.

Dr. Vinita Dubey, Toronto Public Health’s associate medical officer of health, said in an email to The Canadian Press that she does not recommend mask lanyards or chains because they can get caught around the wearer’s neck or become contaminated.

People who need to take face coverings off, she said, should store them in a paper bag, envelope or something that does not retain moisture. Plastic bags should only be used for short periods of time and containers must be disinfected regularly.

Regardless of whether an item is encouraged by public health

2020 Masters leaderboard, winner: Dustin Johnson takes green jacket in historic, record-setting fashion

November 15, 2020 [email protected]_84 Dustin, fashion, green, historic, Jacket, Johnson, leaderboard, Masters, recordsetting, Takes, winner

Dustin Johnson polished off an historic outing at the 54th Masters on Sunday, turning in a final-round 68 to claim his first green jacket and second career win at a major championship. Johnson’s victory came on the heels of a record-setting 54-hole pace after he posted 65s in two of his first three rounds on the week.

His final score of 268 (-20) is the lowest to par in the history of the Masters and ties the lowest score at any major championship.

Johnson played all of Round 3 bogey-free on Saturday but stumbled early Sunday out of the gates, bogeying Nos. 4 and 5 as his lead slipped to within an uncomfortable margin. But as he did all week, Johnson showed his mettle by playing the final 13 holes bogey-free, making birdies on 6, 8, 13, 14 and 15 to pad his lead and comfortably cruise to the win.

His five-stroke margin of victory is the largest since Tiger Woods’ 12-stroke victory lap at the 1997 Masters.

Runner-up finishers Sungjae Im and Cameron Smith kept things interesting late into Sunday. Im posted the lowest score ever by a player in his Masters debut, and Smith became the first golfer in the history of the Masters to post four rounds in the 60s.

Still, Johnson’s brilliance would not be denied. He closed the weekend at 11 under through his final 36 holes, and he tactically tore apart the challenge of Augusta National, tying a Masters record for most greens in regulation in at least the last 35 years, per Justin Ray.

For Johnson, who previously had won just one major championship at the 2016 U.S. Open, it’s a redemptive performance. He has, on four separate occasions, finished second or tied for second at major championships, including last year when he finished T2 at the Masters.

1. Dustin Johnson (-20): Not only did Johnson’s 20 under finish make for the lowest score to par at Augusta National, it also tied for the lowest score to par in major championship history. I hesitate to throw out the F word in print, but what Johnson did was bordering on flawless. His four-round score of 268 comprised the fewest bogeys through four rounds by a winner at Augusta National, and he controlled his game tee to green in a way that will be etched into the fabric of Masters lore.

T2. Cameron Smith (-15): In just his fourth appearance at the Masters, the 27-year-old Aussie acquitted himself. He was steady throughout the four rounds, starting with an opening-day 67 and culminating with 68-69-69. It’s his strongest career finish at a major championship event, besting his T4 finish at the U.S. Open in 2015.

T2. Sungjae Im (-15): The best debut ever by a golfer at the Masters now belongs to Im, who set the record at 273 and shattered the previous record by a whopping three strokes. Im, a 22-year-old, was aggressive to the point of recklessness throughout the final

Wedding-Related Businesses Hit Hard By Pandemic

November 15, 2020 [email protected]_84 businesses, hard, hit, pandemic, WeddingRelated

NEW LENOX, IL — Many businesses and industries have been impacted by the coronavirus, including the wedding industry. Many brides and grooms have had to cancel their weddings in 2020, and others have held smaller events or postponed their weddings to 2021.

Cancellations and postponed weddings have hit the entire industry, including DJs, photographers, videographers, wedding venues, bridal boutiques, salons, make-up artists and florists.

New Lenox resident James Traut owns Big Fish Music Productions, LLC, and offers DJ, uplighting and photo booth services.

“We’re trying to stay positive, and keep the brides and grooms happy,” Traut told Patch. He said he has had 20 weddings reschedule, and three cancel.

His first wedding after closures in March was in July, and it was an outdoor event. Many weddings have had to be modified, whether by reducing guests or holding events outside.

Traut has also had to modify his business, especially his photo booth services. The door of the photo booth is not allowed, props have been removed, and guests can’t sign the book with photos inside.

Traut said he already has 30 weddings scheduled in 2021.

Jamie Hubbard, who is an owner of Bella Sposa Bridal Boutique in Tinley Park, also said people are hopeful for next year.

“We’re just riding this out,” Hubbard said, adding her business closed for two and a half months after the shutdowns in March.

“We’re making sure our brides know that we will work with them no matter when they get married,” she said, adding that they also offer a cleaning service for those brides who may have used their dress for a ceremony but are having a reception at a later date.

Customers at the boutique must wear masks, and the number of people is limited per appointment, Hubbard said. All the dresses are also steamed daily, and cleaning takes place between each bride.

Hubbard said weddings have changed in 2020, and brides are having more intimate weddings.

“I know it’s hard for these brides,” she said.

New Lenox resident and videographer Matt Holdren owns Matthew Robert Creative, said he has also lost a ton of business.

15 weddings in a row canceled with some brides rescheduling multiple times, Holdren told Patch.

He also said weddings have been smaller, although he has worked at a few more average-sized weddings.

Holdren was able to pivot his business and offer services for virtual graduation ceremonies. He said he was able to book three or four graduations for area districts.

Holdren is also seeing many weddings postponed to 2021, although a January 2021 wedding he had booked has already been moved.

With increasing case numbers again in Illinois, additional mitigation measures have once again impacted larger events and gatherings like weddings. Many county health departments, as well as the Illinois Department of Public Health, have issued stay-at-home advisories, which is again impacting wedding-related businesses.
