Weekend

Universal confirms that Minions made a lot of bananas this weekend as the animated film crossed $400M in worldwide box office. Though it had opened in select markets on June 18th the film hit 30 new territories this weekend and was #1 in all of them. Minions' domestic gross was $115.7M, slightly higher than initially reported (was $115.2M) in 4,301 venues. Internationally, it grossed $130.7M at 9,606 venues in 56 territories for a total of $288M. The combined worldwide total now stands at…

Paulette Lopez Duffe was expecting a cold, grey, and damp October weekend, instead she found sunshine and a pleasant breeze at last week’s 6th Annual Great Highwood Pumpkin Festival. Duffe and her family had just moved to Highwood last fall when the festival occurred on a dreary weekend, but the weather did not discourage them. “We were so curious to connect with the town we had just moved to, that we decided to get out and see the fest anyways,” Duffe said. “There were more…

at least one day for the Memorial Day weekend. If child care was a problem I would try to work around that and see if they could work Saturday or Sunday to see if maybe that would be easier to get child care then Monday would be. If the problem is preparing for college exams then I would ask if a 6-hour shift would really hurt them to work when they can still study on breaks and on lunch, to see if that helps the students get on board with working the weekend. For the employees that have family…

care of the weekend without going over the allowed hours. This plan of action will be a temporary fix until 2nd shift Supervisor Tatiana Kania gets back from Maternal leave on 11/20/17. I was able to talk to Tatiana Kania and confirm that she will be returning. Upon her return, the schedules for the supervisor will be adjusted as such. 1st shift supervisor/ Account Manager Enmanuel Cabrera, 1st weekend Supervisor Neil Zola, 2nd shift Supervisor Tatiana Kania, 2nd shift Weekend…

RadioShack — once the go-to chain for consumer electronics — will shutter 1,000 stores during the Memorial Day weekend as it undergoes its second round of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the company announced Friday. RadioShack will continue to operate 70 brick-and-mortar stores across the U.S. as the retailer migrates most of its sales operations to its website, RadioShack said in a news release Friday. This round of closures does not affect the company’s 500 “dealers” — or franchisee-run…

Four-Day School Week Every student in public school has said that the weekend just went by too quick. They also complain that they didn’t have enough time to complete a homework assignment because they were too busy during the weekend. Teachers probably feel rushed by all the papers that need to be graded before Monday starts back up. Everything just seems to be crammed into five days and there isn’t enough recovery time at the end. On the other hand, a four-day school week, everything isn’t…

me, you'd rather stay home and eat, or sleep, or watch Netflix. If you're not at home you want to be somewhere secluded, the most optimum place being the beach. It was a last minute decision my favorite people and I made, but definitely the best weekend all summer. There was a swell coming in and the weather was still as beautiful as the sunsets even with the storm rolling in little by little.…

Wow! The semester is really halfway over and time has gone by unexpectedly fast for me. For this class I think I am writing my last reflection paper, which goes to show you that the semester is coming to an end. I’ve had a rather smooth transition from high school to college regarding academics. The social life has been a huge change for me and was quite a struggle at first. Regarding academics I have received my first grade that did not go as I hoped it would have. I am currently taking a…

midnight on weekends. This curfew should be set in place. Keeping teens of the streets after 10pm would make it more likely that they would get to bed at a decent time and be well rested for school the next day. On weekends keeping teens off the streets past midnight would help keep them safe from harm such as drunk drivers leaving bars. Placing these curfews in effect would help keep teens safe, help keep them well rested for school, and possibly even lower the crime rate. On weekends staying…

Types of Problematic Waterfowl Hunters The majority of people have came to the conclusion that most hunters are alike. This is far from the case. There are different types of hunters just like there are different types of people. These hunters are not only divided by the species they pursue, but also by the tactics they use when hunting, and by their own personal ethics. Waterfowl hunting consist of ducks, geese, and swans. In different states the rules are different, so while shooting a swan…
