  1. 2,750 store global mall retailer with over 200 stores in UK files another #Chapter11 #bankruptcy proceeding , it's second since #prepandemic 2018.

    Claire’s Holdings LLC retail brand focused on #bling for teens & tweens falters again, issuing press release blaming "macroeconomic and retail-specific market pressures" and "#retail challenges".

    Brand first emerged in 1960's out of suburban Chicago, and did well until a 2007 leveraged buyout by the destructive #WallSt forces at Apollo #Management and then became operated by the debt jugglers at #JPMorgan, Elliott #Management and Monarch #AlternativeCapital who had recently set aside #IPO plans and piloted the once high flying #fashion accessories biz into the ground.

    Current board overlords plan to #downsize biz and sorta dig out of Big #Billion+ $ hole by firing thousands and shut hundreds of stores, while seeking a buyer for about 800 remaining #ShoppingMall locations.

  3. #Intranasal administration of 8-valent next-generation #flu #vaccine elicits protective immune responses vs seasonal and #prepandemic viruses, J Virol.: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1

    8-valent COBRA vaccine elicited #antibodies that recognized a broad panel of strains representing different subtypes, & these vaccinated animals were protected vs flu virus challenges. This study demonstrated that mixture of 8 COBRA HA/NA proteins mixed with an intranasal adjuvant is a promising candidate vaccine.

  8. One of the things I noticed while my friend and I were waiting for #Avatar2 to start yesterday was just how many #PSAs were being shown to us in the #theater.

    Every ad slot shown to us in the theater was a PSA with the exception of one, and it was for a local business that frankly I can’t remember anything about it.

    That means that #AMC isn’t selling #AdSlots to clients. Probably because the #audience and #attendance #levels are nowhere back to #PrePandemic #levels.

    Doesn’t bode well for the theaters unfortunately.

  13. My last journey in the Before Times was to a huge science conference in Seattle.

    I snuck away to Pike Place Market between sessions to buy a hank of beautiful silk/alpaca yarn in a delicious spring green to match my boots, and a new pair of beautiful wooden needles to work it.
