    Dangerous Hurricane Willa closes in on Mexico 22 October 2018 next day or so, and Willa is forecast to be a dangerous hurricane when it reaches the coast of Mexico," the NHC said. Mexico's government has put various parts of the coast on alert. Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Vicente—with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour—was expected to bring "heavy rainfall and flooding" over Mexico's south and southwest. Since last Thursday, the southern state of Oaxaca has suffered flooding and landslides related to the rains, which authorities said have left 11 people dead. People enjoy the beach in Mazatlan, Mexico on October © 2018 AFP 21, 2018, ahead of an expected hit from Hurricane Willa Hurricane Willa surged to a dangerous Category Four storm off Mexico's Pacific coast, US forecasters said Sunday, warning of a life- threatening storm surge and heavy winds and rainfall.

Larger investors continue "deleveraging" and cutting back on some of their high­flyer holdings. Allocations continue moving away from some of the more leveraged companies, as many seasoned investors and money­managers search for "safety" and "value" when in times of transition or uncertainty. Bottom­line, the market has become much more forward looking in its approach and strategy, as traders have become more uncertain about geopolitical headlines and U.S. corporate earning growth in the months ahead. The U.S. dollar is strong and borrowed money is finally starting to cost something. This new transition is causing some CEO's and corporate leaders to rethink planned growth projects and perhaps additional stock buybacks. Asset reallocation is real and clearly in vogue on Wall Street. It's been a good run, with the S&P 500 compounding at 17% annually since March 2009. Some of the bigger players are now wanting to pause a moment, count to "10 Mississippi", and see what happens? The lack of buy­side interest creates a small liquidity issue in the market as the money sloshes around and tries to readjust.

Brennan National Hurricane Center 2 April 2019 NIGHTTIME VISIBLE IMAGE AT 0850 UTC 22 OCTOBER 2018, SHOWING HURRICANE WILLA NEAR CATEGORY 5 INTENSITY WHEN IT WAS APPROACHING SOUTHWESTERN MEXICO. NOAA-NASA SUOMI NPP SATELLITE IMAGE COURTESY OF NASA. Willa became a category 5 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) before it weakened and made landfall along the west-central coast of Mexico as a category 3 hurricane. In the states of Nayarit and Sinaloa, Willa’s heavy rains produced widespread lowland and river flooding along with mudslides that severely damaged and isolated several communities. Four direct deaths occurred as a result of the floodwaters. Hurricane Willa 2 Hurricane Willa 20–24 OCTOBER 2018 SYNOPTIC HISTORY The tropical wave that subsequently spawned Hurricane Willa moved off the west coast of Africa on 2 October at fairly low latitude around 5°N. The wave initially showed some signs of organization, but the associated convection waned considerably the next day. Intermittent bursts of deep convection developed near a well-defined mid-level circulation center between 4 and 6 October, but all convection was stripped away by strong southwesterly and westerly deep-layer vertical wind shear by 8 October. The wave moved quickly westward at forward speeds of 15–20 kt for the next several days, reaching Central America on 15 October. The wave crossed into the far eastern portion of the North Pacific basin on 16 October, with a significant flare-up of deep convection occurring along the wave axis on 17 October when the disturbance was located over the southern Gulf of Tehuantepec.

  • Sustainable Lives Sustainability Is Something We Do Together, Every Day
    Sustainable Lives Sustainability is something we do together, every day C&A is a global retail fashion company that touches the lives of approximately 51,000 employees, over 1 million apparel workers, and more than 100 million store visitors each year. What we do – and the way we do it – has a significant impact on many different groups of people. We focus on strengthening communities, promoting positive actions, and giving back. We seek to empower our employees to be sustainability ambassadors in our offices and stores, enabling our customers to undertake more sustainable actions. Our focus on Inspiring Women (our flagship employee engagement campaign) recognised how women are the driving force behind the apparel industry and our brand: 80% of our employees are women, and approximately the same percentage is true of the workers in our supply chain and the customers who shop with us. We remain deeply committed to empowering women in our supply chain and among our customers. In 2018, our successful Inspiring Women initiative made way for Inspiring World, a new global campaign that encourages our employees to share their visions of a better world and includes them in championing our 2020 sustainability goals. During the year, 65% of all employees participated in the Inspiring World campaign, a testament to their commitment to fashion with a positive impact. Our ambition Making sustainability the new normal We want our customers to feel good about shopping at C&A, and our employees to feel proud of our contribution to the community, society, and environment. Our goal is for C&A to be recognised as the most sustainable retail fashion brand across our regions: something we are proud to have achieved in Brazil for the third year in a row and in the Netherlands for the fourth year in a row.
