Resurrection fern where to buy

REUTERS: Best Buy Co Inc held back its holiday-quarter view and warned on Tuesday that a boom in work-from-home purchases was likely to lose steam as rising COVID-19 infections in the United States threaten to eat into pre-Christmas consumer confidence. The electronic retailer, whose third-quarter sales and profit beat market expectations, said it does not expect quarterly revenue growth of more than 20per cent to continue into the holiday season, sending its shares down 6per cent in early trading. "It continues to be difficult to predict how sustainable these trends will be. We are seeing COVID cases surge throughout the U.S. and Canada at a time of significant holiday volume through our stores," Chief Financial Officer Matt Bilunas said, pointing to high unemployment. At least 20 million Americans were on unemployment benefits at the end of October and about 12 million of them will lose benefits when two government-funded programs expire a day after Christmas.

SINGAPORE: Lawyer Lee Suet Fern has been suspended from practice for 15 months after she was found guilty of misconduct over the handling of the last will of Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew. Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon wrote in the judgment on Friday (Nov 20) that Mrs Lee was guilty of misconduct "unbefitting an advocate and solicitor" despite the absence of an implied retainer. He also said her culpability was "at least moderately high", while the harm caused by the misconduct was "at the lower end of the moderate range". The decision was made by the Court of Three Judges, comprising Chief Justice Menon, Judge of Appeal Judith Prakash and Justice Woo Bih Li. The Court is the highest disciplinary body dealing with lawyers' misconduct. During hearings in August , the Law Society sought to have Mrs Lee struck off the roll for professional misconduct. Mrs Lee, the wife of Mr Lee Kuan Yew's son Mr Lee Hsien Yang, has been a lawyer for more than 37 years and … [Read more...] about Lawyer Lee Suet Fern suspended for 15 months for misconduct over handling of Lee Kuan Yew’s last will

SINGAPORE: Lee Suet Fern was not acting as a lawyer in the preparation of Lee Kuan Yew’s final will, and Mr Lee knew what he wanted, which was to revert to a previous will distributing equal shares of his estate to his children. This was key to the arguments put forward by Mrs Lee’s lawyers in her defence at a disciplinary tribunal. Her legal team included former Attorney-General and Senior Counsel Walter Woon, Senior Counsel Kenneth Tan and a team from Providence Law led by Abraham Vergis. Mrs Lee, who has been a lawyer for 37 years, was found guilty by the disciplinary tribunal of grossly improper misconduct in her handling of the late Mr Lee’s last will, in findings released last week. The tribunal ruled that she had failed to advance the interests of Mr Lee, who was her client in the preparation and execution of his final will dated December 2013, and that she failed to advise him to be independently advised.

SINGAPORE: A disciplinary tribunal has found lawyer Lee Suet Fern guilty of grossly improper professional conduct in the preparation and execution of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s final will. The tribunal said in a report released last week that Mrs Lee, who has 37 years’ experience and is Mr Lee’s daughter-in-law, created a draft will for Mr Lee, which became his seventh and final will. She is married to Mr Lee’s youngest son, Hsien Yang. The tribunal found that with her husband, Mrs Lee made founding prime minister Mr Lee sign the will “urgently” without the presence or involvement of his usual lawyer, Ms Kwa Kim Li. His first to sixth wills were prepared by Ms Kwa, a partner in the law firm Lee & Lee.

SINGAPORE: The Law Society (LawSoc) on Thursday (Aug 13) sought to have veteran lawyer Lee Suet Fern struck off the roll for professional misconduct over the handling of Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's final will. Mrs Lee, the wife of Lee Kuan Yew's son Lee Hsien Yang, has been a lawyer for more than 37 years and is listed online as a director at Morgan Lewis Stamford. Mrs Lee's lawyers, Senior Counsels Kenneth Tan and former Attorney-General Walter Woon, urged the court to dismiss all the charges against her, arguing that Lee Kuan Yew knew what he was doing. The Court of Three Judges, the highest disciplinary body dealing with lawyers' misconduct, heard arguments from both sides for five hours on Thursday before reserving judgment. The decision will be released at a later date. The disciplinary tribunal had earlier found Mrs Lee guilty of two charges of grossly improper conduct as a lawyer. These are: By failing to advance Lee Kuan Yew's interests by … [Read more...] about Law Society seeks to disbar Lee Suet Fern over Lee Kuan Yew’s will, defence asks for charges to be dismissed

The PlayStation 5 is just as elusive today as it was almost four months ago when Sony unveiled the next-generation console. Right now the PS5 is sold out in both of its configurations: the $500 model with Blu-ray and the slightly cheaper $400 digital-only version with no optical drive. Even so, for the last few months, all the major retailers (as well as Sony itself) have been getting occasional inventory drops and releasing it in bursts. For the latest updates on when retailers might have inventory and offer it for sale online, be sure to check back here frequently. You can monitor where the PS5 is available on your own; Twitter, for example, is a good source of restock rumors. But we occasionally get word directly from retailers and tipsters about upcoming inventory restocks, and we update this post immediately. Be aware: It will still be months before anything approximating normal inventory levels appears in stores, so getting your own PS5 is likely to be a challenge until … [Read more...] about Where to buy PS5: Inventory updates for Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and other retailers

NEW YORK: Eager to capture any holiday-related spending as early as possible this year, Walmart Inc , ASOS , Best Buy and other major retailers are turning Black Friday into a multi-day promotion. Black Friday, held the day after the Thanksgiving public holiday, has long been one of the biggest shopping days of the year in the United States. Retailers count on customers opening up their wallets to score door-buster deals on gifts. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced retailers to drastically rethink how they do business as consumer spending habits prove unpredictable, and while Black Friday remains a major marketing event for retailers, its relevance had already been fading greatly in recent years due to early online promotions. "Amazon's Prime Day (in October) marks the earliest start of the full assortment holiday shopping season in 50 years, as COVID permanently reshapes the holiday calendar," said Hilding Anderson, head of retail strategy at consulting firm Publicis … [Read more...] about Walmart, Best Buy extend Black Friday deals as spending habits change

I’m looking to buy my first property — it’ll be a condo. Where should I start and where can I find more information? Congratulations to you in planning your first property purchase. It’s a big step. And you’re wise to be doing some research before diving in, both to determine that condo living fits your lifestyle and in taking the time to learn what is involved in a condo purchase and its ownership. My first property purchase was a townhouse condo in Mississauga. I enjoyed the low maintenance that condo living offered: a bit of gardening without lawn mowing, and the joy of very minimal snow shoveling were a couple of my favourite perks. Condo life has its conveniences, but it also has obligations not associated with freehold houses. Condominium corporations are governed by the Condominium Act, 1998 that permits a condo corporation to make bylaws and rules — by-laws and rules that all residents must adhere to. It is important that you become familiar with a condominium’s … [Read more...] about Buying a condominium? Check that its rules and bylaws fit with your lifestyle

In his virtual meeting with Justin Trudeau this week, Joe Biden’s plans for a renewed Canada-U.S. partnership ruled out harm to Canada by the new U.S. administration’s feared tightening of Buy American policies. No, U.S. President Biden did not backtrack on stiffening the U.S.’s 88-year-old Buy American measures. Nor did he exempt Canada from Buy America with waivers that former president Barack Obama granted, and which Prime Minister Trudeau will be seeking in coming months. What Biden did was enlist Canada as a partner in about half a dozen of his young administration’s highest priorities. They include joint action on the COVID-19 pandemic; the most ambitious fight against climate crisis yet attempted; and a robust North American economy recovery that recognizes the unequal suffering that the pandemic recession has caused. There’s more. Biden wants Canada and the U.S. to act in unison on rebuilding international institutions and alliances like the World Health Organization … [Read more...] about How to rebuild a Canada-U.S. partnership in the Buy American era
