Browse here. The blog post has served as a “catalyst” to get the message out and spark interest in having businesses consider locating in the uptown centre, said Turner. “We’re trying to remind people how strategically positioned it is, the pedestrian traffic, daily tourists, locals just navigating their way around, workers who work in the nearby office towers and it’s a bit of a captive audience there that we feel is underserved,” she said. Turner added the timing to revitalize Brunswick Square is good with current major developments in the uptown that place the shopping centre in an even more strategic location. She pointed to the development at 99 King St. and the Fundy Quay  development as providing not only a “renewed energy” in the uptown but also more residents who will be calling those developments home in the future, residents who will need places to shop. While it’s still “the early days” of looking for new tenants there have been some successes, Turner said. Dots Event Planning has secured a lease on the pedway level and will soon open a vibrant storefront, including with a children’s entertainment centre featuring arcade-style games, ride-on plush toys, and a birthday party room. “We also have toured some of the office space and we do have a tenant that is very close to signing on the atrium level,” she said. “It’s not official so I can’t disclose who that is, but it should be coming out very soon.” Turner said there are “a lot of vacancies” in the building and she’s hoping to see it return to it’s previous state, which included myriad businesses ranging from clothing, book, music and other retailers. That incarnation of Brunswick Square, she said, met a “perfect storm” of varying factors. Cindy Alcorn, manager of Cricket Cove, a yarn and knitting store that has called Brunswick Square home for about 15 years, said she’s happy to hear there’s now a more concerted effort to bring the shopping centre back to life. She recalled, fondly, how busy the site was years ago and the camaraderie among the many merchants that once operated in the building. “Brunswick Square, I’ve said for years, when we were full, we were like a family,” said Alcorn. “The merchants looked out for one another. The merchants were concerned about what was happening in people’s lives. They were very helpful and it was more than just a job, it was a community.” Like Turner, Alcorn said people need to embrace the uniqueness Brunswick Square offers as it play a major role in Saint John’s pedway system. She pointed to the fact people can travel from the waterfront straight through to the market without ever having to step outside. On days of inclement weather, she said, that’s important. And in the heart of that pedway, she said, is Brunswick Square. “When Brunswick Square was full…. Oh, I’d love to see that again,” she said. “We’ve been through thick and thin. We’ve seen multiple changes. It was just a hub and a busy time here and now…. I want to see it busy again. I’ve said for years I’d love to see an uptown medical clinic here on the third floor. If they wanted to put a grocery store down on the first floor… There’s a lot of things that they could do to make it a going centre again.” transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Pat Ryan (D-NY), who claimed a major endorsement from the local Satmar Hasidic sect on Monday underscores the importance both parties place on securing an endorsement from the politically powerful Hasidic community in Rockland County which includes some 3,000 votes that typically support candidates as a bloc and could make the difference in a tight race It also represents what may be the only major Hasidic enclave that could go either way in the election. During his first bid for Congress in 2020, Jones won a key endorsement from New Square — even as former President Donald Trump carried the village with nearly unanimous support from voters President Joe Biden won the district by 10 points the same year Last cycle, Jewish leaders in New Square endorsed former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) thanks to behind-the-scenes advocacy from former President Bill Clinton and Biden — the latter of whom placed a personal call to Twersky in the final leg of the race Representatives for Biden and Clinton did not respond to requests for comment regarding the matchup between Jones and Lawler, which has grown increasingly acrimonious in recent weeks During his tenure, Lawler has actively engaged in outreach to New Square, as Republican leaders have made continued overtures to the village including a March 2023 visit by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) Following McCarthy’s ouster last October, Jones, who lost his seat when he chose to run in a separate district in New York City, faced scrutiny for calling the meeting “a waste of everyone’s time” in a social media comment that was deemed offensive to many Orthodox Jews in the district Jones said the post had been misinterpreted and that he meant “to communicate that Kevin McCarthy cannot possibly deliver for communities in Rockland because he’s no longer Speaker.” In a statement shared with Jewish Insider on Tuesday Jones said he had also met on Monday with Jewish leaders in Kaser “to discuss the issues important to our ultra-Orthodox communities.” “I was proud to represent our growing Hasidic communities in Congress and to have delivered resources and services in a way Mike Lawler has not due to the chaos and dysfunction of his failed Republican majority,” Jones added noting he is “going everywhere in the district to make my case to voters.” But this cycle, Lawler, whose narrow upset over Maloney in 2022 was attributed largely to strong backing from Orthodox voters in Rockland County is expected to lock up an endorsement from New Square that had remained elusive in his first race according to Jewish leaders in the district familiar with the matter “I would be totally shocked if they went the other way,” said one of the Jewish leaders who asked to remain anonymous to discuss the race with JI on Tuesday “Lawler has worked very diligently to woo the community and has been directly responsible for bringing substantial funding back into the community.” A spokesperson for Lawler did not respond to a request for comment from JI on Tuesday whose community has long typically issued its endorsements near the end of the general election In a recent interview with JI, meanwhile, Lawler predicted that he would once again win strong backing from the Orthodox community, whose support he is depending on in a district where Democrats outnumber Republicans by 80,000 voters. “The issues that people are focused on, from the affordability crisis to the migrant crisis to the crises around the globe — including the conflict in the Middle East — are issues that I’ve been heavily focused on and done a lot of work on in Congress,” he said.

Square Enix will not tolerate harassment and will take action as necessary.” but is not limited  to the following examples of harassment: Final Fantasy voice actors have previously taken to social media to condemn harassment they’ve received in the wake of story choices who voices Aerith in Square’s FF7 remake trilogy posted on X to politely request that aggressive “shippers,” relax When my sibling & I would fight as kids my mom would tell us to touch noses until we inevitably started giggling and got over it I say this with love: FF7 shippers need to touch noses We're all the same family in loving these characters so relax 💕 Shippers are fans of characters who like to create their own preferred pairings in media While these can often be harmless reinterpretations of the original media and Tifa’s love triangle in the trilogy of remakes has caused some fans to respond with abuse when their preferred couple isn’t established as canon Jordan is a games journalist from Scotland, formerly of the BBC.

You're right Jordan, some Shippers may be harmless…… but that doesn't mean they aren't all mental. They are not "all mental". There's crazy, abusive people in all fandoms. Just because you don't get it doesn't make them "mental". C'mon. You honestly believed that I was tarring every one of them with the same brush? That I genuinely believed that every single person that wished Hermione ended up with Harry or that the Dr and Rose actually got together was deranged? You felt that I needed educated that all fandoms have their contingents of crazies? That was supposed to be a light hearted joke and the fact that I'm having to explain that is a sad indictment of how quickly people rush to be offended. You don't realize your "joke" is a very real thing people actually do all the time? Thats astonishing. The fact i have to explain this is a sad indictment of how people will speak without a single clue what they are talking about. I rarely downvote people. Even detractors. I genuinely don't like the practice and always try to appreciate a difference of opinion. However I'll make an exception for your attempt at wit, devoid of meaningful argument as it is. their company is in shambles with all the recent flops? atacking the customer surely will fix everything!!! This is your takeaway from an article about protecting employees from harassment. What flops are you referring to? The only one I can think of is Foamstars. All the recent Final Fantasy games have been hugely successful What counts as "socially accepted norms"? Who decides when a request for an apology is "unreasonable"? These definitions make it easy for Square Enix to lump legitimate customer grievances with actual harassment, silencing anyone who dares to criticize their business practices or creative decisions. It feels like a shield against accountability rather than a policy for meaningful protection. If Square wants to foster goodwill, they should focus on transparent communication and addressing concerns constructively, not lumping dissatisfied customers in with toxic fans. Otherwise, this policy just comes off as tone-deaf corporate overreach. © 1981 Media Ltd No part of this site or its content may be reproduced without the permission of the copyright holder Website by 44 Bytes Newly built restrooms for tourists in Patan Durbar Square area May 5: Lalitpur Metropolitan City (LMC) has inaugurated a modern public toilet in the Patan Durbar Square area aimed at serving both domestic and international tourists The facility officially came into operation on Sunday Speaking at a programme organised to announce the opening Mayor Chiribabu Maharjan said that although the construction took longer than expected “We have built these toilets to reflect the originality of our city and they will now provide much-needed convenience for both local and international tourists,” said Mayor Maharjan “Visitors to the Patan Durbar Square area will no longer need to search for restroom facilities.” He further added that the new facility is a "showcase project," not only for the metropolis but also for other municipalities across the country While there were existing public toilets in the Patan Durbar Square area they were insufficient to meet the growing demand The modern facility is also designed to be accessible and inclusive It is equipped with contemporary sanitary fixtures said the toilet was constructed with careful consideration of the historical and archaeological significance of the area “This project is a fusion of heritage and modernity,” she said emphasising that the design and materials used reflect the traditional architecture of the region The structure incorporates wooden carvings and limestone while the roof is constructed with traditional jhingati tiles on both sides Phone : +977-1-4222921 Email : risingnepaldaily@gmail.com Acting Editor-in-Chief(Print) : Bhimsen Thapaliya Ramapo police and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force say they investigated a series of social media posts that involved a map highlighting certain neighborhoods with the caption "Zionists live here." The posts also made references to using guns Detectives then identified the suspect as a 44-year-old man from Suffern Why are we creating an arc and battling to get the clubhead back to square when putting should be about creating the perfect straight back and straight through pendulum Odyssey have previously tried to limit putter twist in the stroke with their Backstryke and Toe-up models but now they’ll look to chase down the likes of L.A.B Odyssey are taking the tech from that face insert and putting it into Square 2 Square – a new line of center-shafted designed to stay square throughout the stroke The idea works by positioning the center of gravity (CG) directly under the shaft axis This reduces twisting and makes it easier to return the face back to square at impact with minimal input no matter your stroke type this is as close to straight back and straight through as you can get Golf have taken the market by storm with their version of the tech in some standout head shapes Both brands have found their way into several of our team’s bags with huge success But it’s Tour adoption that really fuels the tech flames and numerous players – including Adam Scott and Will Zalatoris – have used them on Tour Little wonder then that golf’s No.1 putter brand has decided to join the part they’ve found a winning formula because Square 2 Square has already found its way into a host of DP World Tour players’ bags Speaking in Sotogrande at the ‘media reveal’ Luke Williams (Senior Director Product and Brand Management – Putters for Callaway) confirmed that Odyssey have put Square 2 Square through the same ‘Revealer’ process as used by L.A.B which shows how much putters twist during the stroke with results showing that the new models are at least as effective as any of their rivals Different shafts for different configurations provide the proper weight and balance to complement the different head weights and lengths that are offered and maintain that central CG location Whether your preference is for a blade putter or a mallet putter there’s a head shape perfect for you in Odyssey’s Ai-ONE Square 2 Square range of putters Let’s delve into the three new models and the tech Ai-ONE has enjoyed an incredible 2024 with 50% usage on the global tours helping Odyssey secure the No.1 share across every market they compete in the Ai-ONE insert is being used in Square 2 Square contours on the aluminum back of a White Hot face insert promotes consistent ball speed across the face along with the White Hot feel that millions of golfers love The shaft centers CG plane of the putter as it moves It means these putters rest with the toe up in a reverse torque position opposite of a traditional putter with toe hang The 3.3° of forward shaft lean pre-sets the hands in a position to eliminate the opening of the face that often happens when a player forward presses on their own A beautiful navy blue PVD finish adds shelf appeal while the Jailbird models come with black and white Versa alignment Oversized and overlength grips feature on different models all three models will be available from November 29 Odyssey are yet to confirm but we understand 38” Cruiser versions of all three models and a 48” Broomstick version of the Jailbird will follow early in 2025 Square 2 Square made its Tour debut at the Amgen Irish Open at Royal County Down back in September when Simon Forsstrom put the #7 in play and Jens Dantorp gamed the Double Wide Nacho Elvira and Santiago Tarrio then put the Jailbird into play at the BMW PGA Championships with Gavin Green and David Micheluzzi following suit at the Acciona Open de Espana Nicholas Colsaerts and Stephen Gallacher also opted for the Jailbird when they switched into the new line for the FedEx Open de France Square 2 Square’s tournament count stands at 24… and that’s before it officially launched We expect to see that number shoot up as we head into 2025 and Odyssey get the models into more players’ hands Our testing of the new line has been limited so far hitting around 40 putts with the Double Wide on the practice green at La Reserva Club during the media launch in Spain hence us not delving into a full review at this stage where I hit putts ranging from a few feet to 100 feet I have quite a pronounced arch in my stroke and while I didn’t use all three models Golf and PXG’s offerings is the familiar look It’s not controversial to say the other brands’ models aren’t going to win any beauty contests so it makes perfect sense that Odyssey have created the new line in familiar and popular head shapes I use an Odyssey Tri-Hot 5k Double Wide putter so to be able to look down and see a familiar shape immediately put me at ease We spent some time with Luke Williams during our visit to Sotogrande and he gave us the full lowdown on the new line zero torque putters have made plenty of headlines in the last year or two so I guess it was inevitable that the No.1 putter brand would get on board but we don’t just want to enter this market “This is similar to a line of putters we’ve had in the past with Backstryke and Toe Up which is different from traditional putters which typically either come face balanced or with some amount of toe hang “When you have a putter that balances with the toe up it puts different forces on the golfer during their stroke and what we find is that it really helps golfers remove the amount of rotation in their stroke because the putter wants to stay square to your path “If you’re someone who is looking to rotate the putter less or maybe you have trouble getting the putter back to square and tend to leave the face open then this can really help because it won’t open as much during your backstroke so you don’t have to close it as much during your through-stroke.” It feels like common sense that we should always have been trying to hit putts by keeping everything as square as possible “If you were designing a machine to hit putts as consistently as possible you’d want a perfect pendulum You can’t have a golf club with a 90º lie angle because that’s not conforming – you can’t have a lie angle anything above 80º “You have to stand off to the side of the putter so you will have some amount of arch but if you can reduce the amount of arch and keep the face square to that then it’s an easier way to be more consistent with your putting because it relies less on timing.” Talk us through the thinking behind these heads “We have chosen our three most popular head shapes for the Square 2 Square line – Double Wide as the blade option We’ll have all three in standard lengths at this stage but we have plans to introduce longer configurations to cover all bases.” How will the new Square 2 Square lineup stand out from the competition “Amongst others that have a similar sort of weight and balance we offer shapes that we know golfers love and that are proven on Tour “We have what we believe to be the best insert in the industry that gives great feel and consistent ball speeds across the face thanks to Ai-ONE and a unique weighting configuration makes for a pretty special combination.” which has been a magnificent year for Odyssey and Ai-One How do you sum up the success and how do you better that in 2025 We had a great year with Ai-ONE with tremendous Tour usage and that’s translated to the marketplace not everyone bought an Ai-ONE or Odyssey putter this year and putting purchase cycles are longer than any other club in the golfers’ bags so there are still plenty of players out there who haven’t tried an Ai-ONE “We have some new shapes and finishes coming there and Square 2 Square is going to draw plenty of attention Rob Jerram is the Digital Editor of todays-golfer.com and has been a journalist
