Toys 'R' Us files for bankruptcy
by Robert Mclean @robertmclean
September 19, 2017: 9:20 AM ETSuffering from slumping sales and mountains of debt, Toys 'R' Us has filed for bankruptcy.
The 69-year old Toys 'R' Us was once the mecca of kids' gifts. But it was eventually overtaken by Walmart and ultimately Amazon.
In its fight to stay relevant, Toys 'R' Us amassed $5 billion in debt. That came from slashing prices, signing major, exclusive licensing deals with toymakers and buying up other toy giants FAO Schwartz and KB Toys over the past decade.
At one point, Toys 'R' Us showed signs of a turnaround. After being taken private in 2005, Toys 'R' Us filed for an initial public stock offering in 2010. It ultimately withdrew its filing, citing "unfavorable market conditions."
Late Monday, Toys 'R' Us announced that it scrounged up $3 billion in bankruptcy financing, which it plans to use to restructure the company, alleviate its debt burden and revamp its stores.
The bankruptcy filing comes just ahead of the holiday season, the busiest time for the year for Toys 'R' Us. The company said it plans on keeping its 1,600 Toys 'R' Us and Babies 'R' Us stores open across the world, though the Wall Street Journal reported that the company will eventually close some of its underperforming locations as part of the bankruptcy process.
Toys 'R' Us noted in a press release that "the vast majority" of its stores are profitable. But the trend line is pointing in the wrong direction. The company reported that same-store sales fell by more than 4% last quarter, losing $164 million.
CEO Dave Brandon on Monday called the retail landscape "increasingly challenging and rapidly changing" but said he was confident that the Toys 'R' Us brand will "live on for many generations."
"Today marks the dawn of a new era at Toys 'R' Us where we expect that the financial constraints that have held us back will be addressed in a lasting and effective way," said Brandon in a prepared statement.
Toys 'R' Us joins a list of hundreds of companies that have succumbed to the online threat and filed for bankruptcy protection this year. That includes the children's clothing store Gymboree, teen outlet Rue21 and Payless Shoe Source.
It closed its gigantic store in New York's Times Square at the end of 2015. It recently opened a temporary, smaller store for the holidays in another part of the popular Manhattan tourist spot though.
The troubles facing Toys 'R' Us aren't just about competition from Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) and Walmart (WMT). A lackluster summer at the box office might be hurting the entire toy industry, which depends on hit movies to drive sales of licensed toys.
Toy companies also have to deal with the fact that many kids are increasingly playing games on consoles, phones and tablets and not with old-school action figures, dolls and other toys.
Even Lego has been struggling lately. Investors are worried that Mattel and Hasbro could be in trouble, too.
Mattel (MAT), acknowledging the threat from tech, recently hired a new CEO who used to be an executive at Google. Its stock dropped 6% on Monday, to its lowest level since 2009, and Hasbro (HAS) fell 1%. Each company relied on Toys 'R' Us for more than 10% of its sales in the most recent fiscal year.

Young woman filmed having sex with dog told to get "help big time" as judge locks her up
Rachael Harris, 20, and her husband Corey, 24, made the sick animal abuse videos at their home before the alarm was raised by the man's sister
By CHRIS MURPHY, 15:52, 27 AUG 2017
A young woman filmed having sex with a dog was told by a judge to get "help big time" as she was jailed for up to a year.
Rachael Harris, 20, and her husband Corey, 24, made the sick animal abuse videos at their home in Curwensville, Pennsylvania, USA.
The footage was brought to the attention of police when Corey's sister Sheila raised the alarm with an animal welfare group, a court heard.
Disturbing clips showed Harris performing sex acts with a dog and attempting to have intercourse with the animal, the Centre Daily Times reported.
Her husband was said to be behind the camera.
On Friday, Clearfield County judge Paul E. Cherry told the 20-year-old she needed "help big time" as he sentenced her to prison for three to 12 months.
Harris admitted four counts of producing an obscene performance and eight charges of animal cruelty.
She was also ordered to have counselling.
Her husband Corey was handed the same prison sentence last month and also told he needed help.
According to a court affidavit , police were called to Clearfield County SPCA - an animal welfare group - to reports a woman was in possession of footage which showed another woman performing sex acts with a dog.
The camera belonged to the Harris couple.
The breed of dog is not known.
After viewing some videos, police determined a crime had been committed and he took possession of the camera.
A search warrant was prepared for the video content.
Once the warrant was signed, the officer was able to download four videos from the camera.

The 15 men in three years falsely accused of rape and sexual assault

Jemma Beale claimed she had been seriously sexually assaulted by six men and raped by nine, all strangers, in four different encounters over the space of three years.
The 25-year-old was found guilty in July at Southwark Crown Court of four counts of perjury and four counts of perverting the course of justice.

I have no words but still, its nothing new. Many rape accusations are mostly fake for several reasons.

Trump will loose a huge chunk of supports if he condemns these white nationalists.
I won't be surprised if he tweets "Make America White Again".

This is 16-year-old Australian teenager Sam Kanizay. On Saturday, he decided to cool off after football with a quick dip in the ocean at Dendy Street Beach in Brighton (a suburb in Melbourne).
After about half an hour in the water Sam's legs felt numb and tingly but he assumed it was from playing sport. But when he emerged from the sea he noticed his legs were covered in blood.

Trump to reinstate US military ban on transgender people
By Jeremy Diamond, CNN
Updated 1359 GMT (2159 HKT) July 26, 2017Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he plans to reinstate a ban on transgender individuals from serving "in any capacity" in the US armed forces.
The decision reversed a policy initially approved by the Defense Department under President Barack Obama, which was still under final review, that would allow transgender individuals to openly serve in the military. Defense Secretary James Mattis announced last month that he was delaying enactment of the plan to begin allowing transgender individuals to join the US military.
"After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military," Trump said in a series of tweets Wednesday morning. "Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."
"Thank you," he added.
