Armour, a marketing manager for a nonprofit in Oakland, California, has picked up skirts and shirts, Oxford shoes for $30, a J Crew trench coat for $40 and a Dooney & Bourke satchel for $150, less than half its retail price. “When I get tired of certain things, I put them aside and sell them back,” she said. For Millennials – the roughly 77 million Americans born between about 1980 and 2000 — the allure of “no owner- ship” is moving beyond housing and cars. A new industry based on sharing or renting clothing, electronics and small appliances is springing up from nothing about five years ago, posing a disruptive force to traditional retailers. Battered by student loan debt and the Great Recession, Millennials place less emphasis on owning and more on sharing, bartering and trading to access coveted goods. These behaviors have propelled businesses such as car rental service Zipcar, taxi service Uber and home rental site Airbnb. What Millennials do buy, and keep, is their smartphones. About 85 percent of people aged 18 to 34 own them, according to Nielsen research, and the devices are the doorway to the sharing economy.

ou’ve seen the movie Survivor before, although it may have had a slightly less mundane title, such as North by Northwest, YThe Bourne Identity or The Fugitive. Survivor borrows heavily from all of them; it’s a taut yet hack- neyed thriller about a wrongly-accused fugitive with the authorities close behind. At least there’s a tiny twist here in that the person on the run is a woman. Action staple Milla Jovovich plays Kate Abbott, a recent hire at the American embassy in London. She’s in charge of security, making sure potential terrorists don’t score American visas. She’s good at her job, too, which makes her unpopular with a group of killers who are plotting an attack on American soil. The crew sends a relentless assassin (Pierce Brosnan) after her. He goes by the code name of the Watchmaker, and when his plot to blow up Kate in a restaurant bombing goes awry, the terrorists try a dif- ferent approach: Make her the prime suspect for the deadly blast. Suddenly Kate’s face is flashing across every tel- evision in England, and she has to figure out how to evade both corrupt police officers and the icy, unyield- ing Watchmaker. Meanwhile, she has to solve the mys- tery of what these terrorists are plotting so that she can stop the attack before it kills a million Americans. That’s a tall order, but any fan of the genre knows Survivable, if it’s completely doable. There’s no question where any of this is going, and while the chase can be entertaining at times, the movie not memorable is ultimately forgettable.”The Fugitive” felt fresh because of its well-drawn, wry characters, and the “Bourne” franchise has heart-pounding action sequences and car chases. Survivor, by comparison, is a shell, follow- ing the rules of the genre without adding anything new. When Kate escapes from an evil police officer (James D’Arcy) into the tunnels of the London Underground, with the visionary Wachowski siblings, and he directed One and a half stars. Rated PG-13.

And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number.
