BRAVE TV PRESENTER KATIE PIPER GIVES HER FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE ANNOUNCING HER PREGNANCY IN THIS SUNDAY’S FABULOUS MAG

SUN06S1GF001_KatiePiperCover3.pdf_978366

In this week’s Fabulous magazine’s special Inspiration Issue, acid attack survivor, Katie Piper opens up about her pregnancy joy: “I just feel very blessed. It’s incredible really. When I go into hospital to have the baby, it’ll be the first time I’ve been there for something nice.”

In the exclusive interview, which is accompanied by a photoshoot by legendary photographer, David Bailey, the 29-year-old presenter and model says she finds it strange when people say she’s inspired them: “I was put in a situation and had to decide whether to sink or swim, and I think most people would fight and get through it. It’s not until we get tested that we know how strong we are.”

Katie, whose baby is due in the Spring, also opens up about the moment she found out she was pregnant and the morning sickness she’s been suffering from ever since.

Also in this week’s edition, brave Michelle Heaton opens up about her decision to have a double mastectomy after she was told she had an 80 per cent chance of contracting breast cancer, while award-winning Sky News foreign correspondent Alex Crawford reveals what it’s like reporting from some of the world’s most dangerous war zones.

US Shutdown no cause for panic (yet)

Posted on by

The US Government has begun its first partial shutdown in 17 years, following congress’ failure to agree a budget to continue its funding.

 

The S&P 500 closed down 0.6%, whilst the US dollar fell against sterling last night, as investors digested the news.  The market’s reaction to the shutdown has been muted and suggests investors are expecting a resolution to these negotiations.

 

Adrian Lowcock, Senior investment Manager at Hargreaves Lansdown says;-“Investors have become used to political brinksmanship in the US with negotiations going to the wire but each time a resolution has been found.

These negotiations are the warm up act. The bigger issue, in around 17 days’ time, is negotiations to raise the $16.7trn US debt ceiling. Failure to raise the debt ceiling and allow the US government to continue borrowing could force the country into a default scenario which could then have more serious consequences for investors.

A US default is highly unlikely but political negotiations could create volatility in stock markets.

This doesn’t look like a selling trigger. Investors should focus on their long term goals and use any short term weakness as opportunities to invest.”

The 2011 Debt ceiling

In August 2011 a similar scenario played out.  The S&P 500 fell 19.74% from its peak in July 2011 as the S&P credit rating agency cut their top notch rating for the US and investors sold out. However by the end of the year the S&P had recovered and ended the year up 1.46%.

Chris Saint, Head of Currency Dealing, Hargreaves Lansdown “The US dollar extended its recent decline against the pound (lows of US$1.6261) after the deadline was missed. The fallout appears to have been limited by hopes that significant damage to the US economic recovery will be avoided, assuming a resolution can be agreed upon very soon.  In September we saw demand for US dollars rise 29% on the previous month.”

 

At the time of writing, the exchange rate stands at:

 

         Interbank rate                   % daily change

Sterling / US dollar                          1.6242                                           +0.37%

Aigner SS14

Posted on by

We have pictures from the spectacular urban & exotic Brazilian beats themed Aigner SS14 show in Milan.

 

From street culture to the Amazon: The Aigner Collection S/S 2014 takes us on a journey into the heart of Brazil, to the vibrant metropolis of Rio de Janeiro. The luxurious outfits and bags created by the Munich-based leather lifestyle brand are inspired by fiery samba rhythms, the sweeping exuberance of the famous Brazilian carnival and Rio’s urban exotic flair embodying especially the beauty and the strength of Latin American women.

Aigner SS14

The collection is feminine and elegant but with sports luxe feel. Collection highlights include Light high-waisted trousers in silk and leather, “reinterpreted” dungarees, bandeau tops, short blouses and dresses with cut out details.

 

For the bags, elaborate embossed patterns on the leather reflect south America’s flora and fauna. Crocodile and lizard skins, raffia, handcrafted braided elements and saffiano leather symbolize the richness of the rainforest.

Homeland Season Three Preview: Spoilers

Posted on by

Homeland Season Three, preview, review, spoilers, homelandHomeland is back. we are very excited. Here is the breakdown of the first episode.

Agent Peter Quinn makes a bomb in a basement, topless.

The Brody family have had a tough time, receiving death threats and bricks through their window. The FBI is following them and the media is hounding them. Dana comes home after a suicide attempt. She has a new boyfriend she met in rehab. She seems to be on the mend and sends a semi-nude picture to her new boyfriend. Her grandmother is also there, trying to help out the family. They eat together and have quality family time. Jessica finds it hard to deal with her daughters attempted suicide and has had to get a job as they have no money coming in

Carrie is off her meds and taking the brunt of the anger along with the rest of the CIA. They have not cleared up the bomb sight ‘because they are punishing us’. The CIA need a win badly and Saul, now in charge, already has a mission in place to take out a number of targets. They succeed in their mission, assassinating a number of bad guys. Agent Quinn was at the forefront of the mission and is upset when a child gets killed.

Carrie is in front of a committee, who are particularly harsh. The CIA are being blamed and the committee are digging for dirt and want to make the CIA pay for their mistakes. To compensate for being off her meds Carrie is drinking, picking up men and seems to be her own worst enemy. After a piece is leaked about her to the media- which doesn’t name her so her operatives are not harmed- she has a run in with Saul in a restaurant, causes a scene and tells them all ‘f**k you’. The newspaper piece is about her sexual relationship with Brody.

At a committee Saul talks about their success at their being ‘a little less evil in the world today’. The committee is still not happy and mentions the Carrie article. Saul, after a pause, confirms that, although the information is flawed, the operative in question was erratic and hide her bi-polar disorder from the agency for ten years. He then says that he never knew about the sexual relationship between Carrie and Agent Brody. Carrie watches on TV, devastated and in disbelief.

Lima Becomes Europe’s First Michelin Starred Peruvian Restaurant

Posted on by

It was announced this morning in the 2014 Michelin Guide for UK & Ireland that LIMA restaurant in London’s Fitzrovia has achieved the distinction of becoming the first ever Peruvian restaurant in the UK and Europe to be awarded a coveted Michelin star.

 

The announcement was made at 7.00am this morning by Michelin which is arguably the most revered of all restaurant guides.   Having opened in August 2012 to critical acclaim, LIMA is the creation of executive chef Virgilio Martinez and the Gonzalez brothers. The menu, overseen by Martinez and head chef Robert Ortiz, integrates both traditional and contemporary Peruvian cuisine, representing the gastronomic expansion that has taken place in Peru in recent years.

 

Gabriel Gonzalez, co-owner of LIMA, said, “A Michelin star is an incredible accomplishment. I am so proud of Robert Ortiz and the team at LIMA who work to exceptional standards at every service, and feel this really is a testament to all of our hard work over the past year. To be the first Peruvian restaurant to achieve a star in UK and Europe is a huge accolade.”

 

Having opened only 13 months ago, Lima has undoubtedly played a huge part in the growing recognition and popularity of Peruvian food in the UK.
