Grace Dean/InsiderE-commerce for charity shops is completely different than e-commerce for retailers that sell large batches of new products.

But, as the aisles of charity shops across the UK show, a lot of people do choose to donate them.

☆ Kindle’s 15-year anniversary is a reminder simplicity is king
  + stars: | 2022-11-20 | by ( Samantha Murphy Kelly | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
It’s like holding nothing but the words.”Amazon (AMZN) launched the original Kindle on November 19 2007, pushing the publishing industry to further embrace digital books and also kickstarting the e-commerce giant’s hardware efforts. Amazon can keep Kindle prices relatively low because the business model is all about selling books, not selling hardware, McQueen said. Likewise, the original Kindle had access to 90,000 books in the Kindle Store compared to 13 million books now in the Kindle Store. Amazon’s current lineup of hardware devices includes the Fire tablet, the Firestick media streaming gadget and the Echo smart speaker. “The more interesting question is will Kindle be broadly considered retro tech like vinyl record players or arcade cabinets of today?”

He has already made his key appointment in choosing Daniel Lee to replace Riccardo Tisci as chief designer at the 166-year-old label. Leather goods account for around 20% of Burberry's sales versus 70% at Bottega Veneta. Tisci, in turn, changed Burberry's design language by introducing a TB monogram, that increased the brand's appeal to younger luxury consumers. The final stages of Burberry's five-year plan were expected to see an acceleration in revenue growth and an increase in profits. Burberry's rivals - led by French luxury leaders LVMH (LVMH.PA) and Kering (PRTP.PA) - in contrast, have most recently reported double-digit sales growth in the quarter to the end of September.

Britain's charity shops are changing how they look and trying to appeal to Gen Z customers.

К 12 годам житель Лондона Омари Маккуин успел выпустить книгу рецептов, стать ведущим собственного кулинарного шоу и самым молодым ресторатором, пишет издание «Bird in Flight» со ссылкой на Mirror. Пять лет назад мальчик был вынужден оставить школу из-за дислексии — нарушения способности к овладению навыками чтения и письма. Предприниматель решил не ждать и разрешил Маккуину на неделю возглавить собственную точку в Кройдоне — таким образом 11-летний мальчик стал самым молодым в мире ресторатором, обойдя предыдущего рекордсмена, американца Флинна Макгарри. В январе повар выпустил первую книгу «Лучшие закуски от Омари Маккуина», а в этом году планирует представить вторую. Также мальчик создал на ютубе кулинарный канал Omari Goes Wild, где делится полезными веганскими рецептами.

Fiindcă este duminică și afară ninge, este cel mai oportun moment să priviți un film și nu unul oarecare, dar unul bun. Echipa #diez a făcut o selecție a filmelor premiate cu Oscar din anul 2000 încoace. „Gladiatorul” a luat Oscarurile pentru cel mai bun film și actor principal (Russell Crowe), dar „Tigru și dragon” al lui Ang Lee a fost consolat cu premiul pentru cel mai bun film străin. Patru Oscaruri a luat pelicula lui Ron Howard, pentru cel mai bun film, regie, scenariu adaptat și actriță secundară (Jennifer Connelly). Și totuși, Scorsese a pierdut în favoarea lui Eastwood și Oscarul pentru regie, și cel pentru cea mai bună peliculă.
