We are Google Certified Partner
The benefits of achieving Google Certified Partner status
Google offers a wide range of programs for individuals and organizations as part of its set of trainings and tools. The benefits of a firm becoming a Google Certified Partner are many: one can display the official “Google Certified Partner” banner, and be officially listed on Google’s Partner Pages. But there are also less obvious benefits that can accrue to partners: here are some of them:
- Staying abreast with evolving best PPC practices. Google’s best practices are made immediately available to certified members of the program, letting your staff stay on top of the rapidly changing developments in paid search.
- Better PPC performance. Fewer mistakes and better execution means overall lower CPCs, better ROI, and ultimately a stronger agency.
- Professional development. We are very enthusiastic about the Google training programs – not only does it open up the potential for an elevated position, but it makes us better, more knowledgeable professionals. Consequently we are better able to serve our clients, providing a win-win for us and the clients.
- Beta Features. As Certified Google Partner we have access to Google’s beta features. This means that after Google has developed a new feature or application, its partners can test and use this feature up to a year or more before it is available to the general public. Imagine the advantages to be gained by using Google marketing features a year before your competition even has access to it!
- Google partners can provide you huge financial savings on AdWords PPC cost: Please click on the link goo.gl/xhTVuo too see the possible promotions.

As the trial began on Saturday, the Palermo judge Roberto Murgia said all witnesses submitted by the parties would be allowed to testify, including the actor Richard Gere, who went on board the NGO ship Open Arms in August 2019 in a show of solidarity with the 147 stranded migrants. The next hearing has been set for 17 December.

Agriculture turns full-circle as the trend for ripping out hedges is reverseda| and farmers hail the ecological benefits
The emerald-green five-year-old hawthorn hedge glistens in autumnal sunshine. In the cider apple orchard and grass pastures below, younger hedges shoot off towards a fast-flowing trout stream.
History has come full circle in Blackmore Farm, which nestles in the foothills of the Quantocks in Somerset. The owner, Ian Dyer, remembers helping his father, who arrived as a tenant farmer in the 1950s, grub out old hedges in the 1960s and 1970s. But a like increasing numbers of landowners a he has hired a hedgelayer to bring back his hedges to provide habitats for wildlife, capture carbon and slow water pouring off fields into rivers.

Uncanny and creepy, premonitions that turn out to be authentic can feel profound. But is there science to explain them?
Around seven years ago, Garrett, was in a local Pizza Hut with his friends, having a day so ordinary that it is cumbersome to describe. He was 16 a or thereabouts a and had been told by teachers to go around nearby businesses and ask for gift vouchers that the school could use as prizes in a raffle. There were five other teenagers with Garrett, and theyad just finished speaking to the restaurant manager when suddenly, out of nowhere, Garrettas his body was flooded with shock. He felt cold and clammy and had an aoverwhelming sense that something had happeneda. He desperately tried to stop himself crying in front of his peers.
aIt was like Iad just been told something terrible,a the now 23-year-old from the southwest of England says (his name has been changed on his request). aI couldnat tell you exactly what it was, but I just knew something had happened.a Garrett returned home and tried to distract himself from a feeling he describes as grief. The phone rang. His mum answered it. A few hours earlier a around the time Garrett was in the restaurant a his grandfather had died from a sudden heart attack while on a cruise.

The comic actor and writer on his new sitcom about community service, sharing Christopher Walkenas omelette and portraying a serial killer
Stephen Merchant, 46, is a writer, producer, director and comic actor who rose to fame in 2001 with The Office, about life at a paper supply company in Slough. Created by Merchant and his former XFM co-presenter Ricky Gervais, the awards-festooned series spawned a US version starring Steve Carell, and is credited with prompting a new wave of comedy series that dispensed with laughter tracks and punchlines in favour of a mockumentary style. The pair followed up The Office with Extras, in which Merchant played incompetent agent to Gervaisas struggling actor, amid a feast of celebrity cameos. In 2013 he wrote and starred in the HBO sitcom Hello Ladies, a series based on his standup routine and which followed an Englishman in Los Angeles and his failed attempts at dating. Elsewhere, he has worked variously as a DJ on BBC 6 Music, a podcaster and voiceover artist, and has appeared in films including Hot Fuzz and Jojo Rabbit.
Merchantas new six-part series, The Outlaws, co-created with Elgin James, follows the fortunes of seven strangers doing community service in Merchantas former hometown of Bristol. Characters include Darren Boydas reactionary businessman, Clare Perkinsa diehard activist, Eleanor Tomlinsonas spoilt influencer, Merchantas sad-sack solicitor a and Christopher Walken in his first role in a British comedy, as a career criminal fresh out of prison.

Many people turning to skips or sites such as Freecycle in a bid to save money and help the planet
One manas trash is another manas treasure, so goes the saying. That is certainly evident through the rise of exchanges on platforms such as Olio, Facebook Marketplace and Nextdoor, where people happily take their neighboursa unwanted goods off their hands. Sometimes items are new or as good as new; sometimes they are a piece of furniture to upcycle and breathe new life into.
From saving money to helping the planet, many people turn to volunteer-run online communities focused on goods that would otherwise go to landfill, rather than head to Ikea. Searches for the term aFreecyclea have increased 22% from July 2018 to July 2021, while the number of people Googling awhere can I find free stuff?a shot up 800% over the same period, according to the data provider SEMrush.

Good conversations donat follow a script. Like a good song, theyare full of surprises, improvisations, detours.

But the best conversations also have a timeless quality, taking you back into the realm of memory, propelling you forward toward your hopes and dreams. Sharing stories reminds you that youare not alone a and maybe helps you understand yourself a little bit better.
When Bruce and I first sat down in the summer of 2020 to record Renegades: Born in the USA, we didnat know how our conversations would turn out. What I did know was that Bruce was a great storyteller, a bard of the American experience a and that we both had a lot on our minds, including some fundamental questions about the troubling turn our country had taken. A historic pandemic showed no signs of abating. Americans everywhere were out of work. Millions had just taken to the streets to protest the murder of George Floyd, and the then occupant of the White House seemed intent not on bringing people together but on tearing down some of the basic values and institutional foundations of our democracy.

After investing so much energy into building the attack around Romelu Lukaku Chelsea found a way to play without their APS97.5m striker. Mason Mount accepted the extra responsibility with typical eagerness, scoring his first hat-trick in a Chelsea shirt, and Thomas Tuchel could also take satisfaction from Callum Hudson-Odoi capitalising on the absence of Lukaku, Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner by producing a driven, skilful display in his favourite position.
One down, 249 to go as far as Hudson-Odoi is concerned. Before this game Tuchel had challenged him to deliver on a consistent basis, telling the 20-year-old winger he will have turned a corner only once he plays 250 good games in a row, and the tough love drew a positive reaction.

Frances Haugenas atestimony toura of revelations about the tech company makes good copy, but will its executives listen?
If you wanted a paragon of astute, thoroughly modern whistleblowing, then Frances Haugen is your woman. She is the former Facebook employee who revealed that the company knew about the harm that some of its products, especially Instagram, were causing but did little or nothing about them because it prioritised growth and revenue above all else.
A good CV is essential to establish your street cred and Haugen ticks all the Silicon Valley boxes. A degree in electrical engineering? Check. An MBA from Harvard? Check. Specialised in algorithmic management? Check. Experience with, and knowledge of, ranking algorithms at a number of tech companies? Check (Google, Pinterest, Yelp). And of course youall have held down a substantial position in the company about which you are blowing the whistle. Again, Haugen ticks that box: at Facebook, she was the lead product manager on the civic misinformation team, which dealt with issues of democracy and misinformation; she later worked on counterespionage.

Increasingly, authoritarians are likening agenderisma to acommunisma and atotalitarianisma
In June, the Hungarian parliament voted overwhelmingly to eliminate from public schools all teaching related to ahomosexuality and gender changea, associating LGBTQI rights and education with pedophilia and totalitarian cultural politics. In late May, Danish MPs passed a resolution against aexcessive activisma in academic research environments, including gender studies, race theory, postcolonial and immigration studies in their list of culprits. In December 2020, the supreme court in Romania struck down a law that would have forbidden the teaching of agender identity theorya but the debate there rages on. Trans-free spaces in Poland have been declared by transphobes eager to purify Poland of corrosive cultural influences from the US and the UK. Turkeyas withdrawal from the Istanbul convention in March sent shudders through the EU, since one of its main objections was the inclusion of protections for women and children against violence, and this aproblema was linked to the foreign word, agendera.
The attacks on so-called agender ideologya have grown in recent years throughout the world, dominating public debate stoked by electronic networks and backed by extensive rightwing Catholic and evangelical organizations. Although not always in accord, these groups concur that the traditional family is under attack, that children in the classroom are being indoctrinated to become homosexuals, and that agendera is a dangerous, if not diabolical, ideology threatening to destroy families, local cultures, civilization, and even amana himself.

The onus is on white people to change things for those of us working behind the scenes, but Black creators also hold sway

For the first part of my career, I worked in the independent sector, which is not known for its diversity. My isolation as one of the few Black people working in this area was often explained away by my white counterparts: Iave been told that Black people just donat listen to alternative music, but this doesnat explain why white people are overrepresented when working in Black music. When I am asked about my perspectives, Iam often then required to do the heavy lifting, as though structural racism is a problem that Black people should fix rather than the white perpetrators of it. When I was starting out in the industry a younger, more insecure about my race and attempting to get my bearings in a sea of white faces, my attempts to assimilate were often overwhelmed by a sense of otherness.

Moving to a green energy system and a zero-emissions society without leaving people behind is an enormous challenge. Many oil and gas workers are actually ready for the change, but the oil and gas industry itself is slowing the process, holding back real progress.

Analysts question if Dublinas reputation as a leading tech hub could be undermined by new 15% tax rate
Ten years ago Dublin was nicknamed Silicon Valleyas ahome from homea with tech superstars including Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk queueing up to snap up office space, avail themselves of local Irish hospitality and low tax.
But while the decision of Google, Facebook, Yahoo, LinkedIn, eBay, Amazon and more recently TikTok to locate their European headquarters in the Irish capital helped cement its reputation as one of the regionas leading tech hubs, questions are now being asked about whether they will stay.
Earlier this month Ireland signed up to landmark reforms for a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, up from the current level of 12.5% set by Dublin, in the biggest shifts for the countryas tax system in almost 20 years.
Some analysts argued the nationas economic model could be badly undermined, while the Irish finance minister, Paschal Donohoe, said earlier this year that up to a!2bn (APS1.7bn) a year in tax revenue could be lost by 2025. However, there are hopes the changes might not prove as existential as they first seem.
aIn the short to medium term, no, there wonat be an exodus, the change from 12.5% to 15% is not that significant,a said Seamus Coffey, an economist at University College Cork and former chair of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council.
Ireland had played hardball in global tax talks taking place between 140 countries at the OECD in Paris, following almost a decade of failure among world leaders to agree reforms that would equip the taxation regime for the digital age.
Dublin refused to join an accord earlier this year, and only relented earlier this month at the 11th hour of negotiations after securing a key concession a earlier plans calling for a minimum rate of aat leasta 15% were dropped, giving the government more certainty that it would not be ratcheted higher in future.
However, the reality is that many big tech firms never paid the 12.5% headline rate set by Ireland in the first place.
A Bloomberg investigation in 2010 showed how Google had cut its overseas tax rate to just 2.4% using an aggressive avoidance scheme dubbed the aDouble Irish, Dutch sandwicha to effectively shuffle revenues made across Europe offshore to places like Bermuda, where the tax rate was zero.
Those schemes were outlawed in 2015, giving companies five yearsa notice to comply.
However, while such arrangements undoubtedly helped attract Google and Facebook to Ireland in the noughties, they were merely the latest in a wave of more than 1,500 foreign firms a 800 of them American a lured in by the low-tax ethos of the countryas Industrial Development Agency since its foundation in 1949.
Before them IBM, Intel, Pfizer and Apple were shown the red carpet. For at least a decade Allergan has been making the worldas supply of Botox in Westport, County Mayo, on the countryas windswept Atlantic coast.
aThe low tax rate started in the 1960s at zero and then went to 10%,a said Coffey. aThe point of it was never to generate corporate tax revenue, but to use relatively low corporate tax to attract the companies to set up in Ireland and let them build big factories and facilities. And then we have employment.a
There are other factors tempting in multinationals. Chinese-owned TikTok set up its Dublin HQ in 2018 long after the writing was on the wall for the tax avoidance loophole.
aYoung companies focus on things that will either kill them or help them scale in the near future. Corporate tax isnat one of them,a said Stephen McIntyre, former head of Twitter in Ireland and a partner in Frontline Ventures, a venture capital firm in Dublin and London set up to help US tech firms expand in Europe.
Joe Biden and the OECD want to promote this idea of competing on grounds other than tax, viewing the reforms as ending the arace to the bottoma between countries.

The US president hopes to be a transformational figure like FDR but inaction on voting rights, the climate crisis and social policy has fuelled frustration

A stellar cast enliven the directoras uneven three-story anthology featuring a student protest, an insane artist and a heist thriller
The films of Wes Anderson, with their intricately layered details and fanatically meticulous design, almost invariably reward a second viewing.

A post-pandemic labor shortage has given workers leverage but experts doubt it will lead to a sustained rise in union membership
US labor unions have been on the defensive for decades but this October there has been a surprising burst of worker militancy and strikes as workers have gone on the offensive to demand more. Experts are predicting more actions to come but whether aStriketobera can lead to permanent change remains an open question.
The scale of industrial action is truly remarkable. Ten thousand John Deere workers have gone on strike, 1,400 Kellogg workers have walked out, as well as a walkout threatened by more than 30,000 Kaiser Permanente workers, all inflamed by a profound disconnect between labor and management.

Increasingly, authoritarians are likening agenderisma to acommunisma and atotalitarianisma
In June, the Hungarian parliament voted overwhelmingly to eliminate from public schools all teaching related to ahomosexuality and gender changea, associating LGBTQI rights and education with pedophilia and totalitarian cultural politics. In late May, Danish MPs passed a resolution against aexcessive activisma in academic research environments, including gender studies, race theory, postcolonial and immigration studies in their list of culprits. In December 2020, the supreme court in Romania struck down a law that would have forbidden the teaching of agender identity theorya but the debate there rages on. Trans-free spaces in Poland have been declared by transphobes eager to purify Poland of corrosive cultural influences from the US and the UK. Turkeyas withdrawal from the Istanbul convention in March sent shudders through the EU, since one of its main objections was the inclusion of protections for women and children against violence, and this aproblema was linked to the foreign word, agendera.
The attacks on so-called agender ideologya have grown in recent years throughout the world, dominating public debate stoked by electronic networks and backed by extensive rightwing Catholic and evangelical organizations. Although not always in accord, these groups concur that the traditional family is under attack, that children in the classroom are being indoctrinated to become homosexuals, and that agendera is a dangerous, if not diabolical, ideology threatening to destroy families, local cultures, civilization, and even amana himself.

The comic actor and writer on his new sitcom about community service, sharing Christopher Walkenas omelette and portraying a serial killer
Stephen Merchant, 46, is a writer, producer, director and comic actor who rose to fame in 2001 with The Office, about life at a paper supply company in Slough. Created by Merchant and his former XFM co-presenter Ricky Gervais, the awards-festooned series spawned a US version starring Steve Carell, and is credited with prompting a new wave of comedy series that dispensed with laughter tracks and punchlines in favour of a mockumentary style. The pair followed up The Office with Extras, in which Merchant played incompetent agent to Gervaisas struggling actor, amid a feast of celebrity cameos. In 2013 he wrote and starred in the HBO sitcom Hello Ladies, a series based on his standup routine and which followed an Englishman in Los Angeles and his failed attempts at dating. Elsewhere, he has worked variously as a DJ on BBC 6 Music, a podcaster and voiceover artist, and has appeared in films including Hot Fuzz and Jojo Rabbit.
Merchantas new six-part series, The Outlaws, co-created with Elgin James, follows the fortunes of seven strangers doing community service in Merchantas former hometown of Bristol. Characters include Darren Boydas reactionary businessman, Clare Perkinsa diehard activist, Eleanor Tomlinsonas spoilt influencer, Merchantas sad-sack solicitor a and Christopher Walken in his first role in a British comedy, as a career criminal fresh out of prison.

A good CV is essential to establish your street cred and Haugen ticks all the Silicon Valley boxes. A degree in electrical engineering? Check. An MBA from Harvard? Check. Specialised in algorithmic management? Check. Experience with, and knowledge of, ranking algorithms at a number of tech companies? Check (Google, Pinterest, Yelp). And of course youall have held down a substantial position in the company about which you are blowing the whistle.

The onus is on white people to change things for those of us working behind the scenes, but Black creators also hold sway
In the eight years Iave worked in the music industry, career highs have been offset by instances of racism. Iave often been confused with other Black people who work in the industry at events, meetings and panels a at a gig one evening, it happened three separate times.
For the first part of my career, I worked in the independent sector, which is not known for its diversity. My isolation as one of the few Black people working in this area was often explained away by my white counterparts: Iave been told that Black people just donat listen to alternative music, but this doesnat explain why white people are overrepresented when working in Black music. When I am asked about my perspectives, Iam often then required to do the heavy lifting, as though structural racism is a problem that Black people should fix rather than the white perpetrators of it. When I was starting out in the industry a younger, more insecure about my race and attempting to get my bearings in a sea of white faces, my attempts to assimilate were often overwhelmed by a sense of otherness.

One down, 249 to go as far as Hudson-Odoi is concerned. Before this game Tuchel had challenged him to deliver on a consistent basis, telling the 20-year-old winger he will have turned a corner only once he plays 250 good games in a row, and the tough love drew a positive reaction.

Sometimes the only way to get attention is to break the rules. Fifty years after my first arrest, Iave embraced being locked up in the name of the planet. As Cop26 nears, hereas why itas time to rise up
aC/ The good fight: the climate activists risking everything
The first time I was ever arrested, I was picked up for smuggling drugs into the US from Canada. They were vitamin pills, but that didnat seem to matter to the police officer in Cleveland, who mentioned that his orders had come from the Nixon White House. It was 1970. I had just started a campus speaking tour protesting against the Vietnam war, and was under surveillance by the National Security Agency. I raised my fist for the mugshot, and after a night in jail, they let me go.
I think the idea was to discredit my opposition to the war, and maybe get my speeches cancelled. Instead, students turned up in their thousands. My first arrest wasnat for an act of civil disobedience, exactly, but the lesson I took away from that surreal experience was just how powerful it can be to set your ideals against the machinery of the state. Half a century later, it still works. And, as the extraordinary activists who tell their stories here attest, it remains an indispensable means of being heard by those who would prefer to ignore us.

The Texas-based singer-songwriteras juggles the personal and the political on his compelling debut
As an aspiring teenage guitarist, Carl Nichols was drawn to the blues discovered in his motheras record collection a Robert Cray, Corey Harris a while his hometown of Milwaukee offered gigs playing everything but the 12-bar bible. Instead, Nichols played in punk bands, in church, in hip-hop outfits and more, only returning to his first love after a European jaunt landed him in a Kiev blues club. On his return home, he made the demos that became the basis of this impressive debut, an album steeped in tradition but with an urgent, contemporary edge.
The tumbling lines of the 30-year-oldas finger-picked guitar carry echoes of the blues pioneers of the 1920s, but while the likes of Robert Johnson and Willie McTell sang with high, pungent voices, Nicholsas vocals are husky and intimate, which makes the anger of his lyrics the more biting. Another Man addresses the US history of lynching and police killing (it was written before the murder of George Floyd), remarking aWhy wear a hood when a badge is just as gooda. Overtly political numbers such as the harrowing Living Hell sit alongside more personal pieces; the desolate Lost and Lonesome, the rueful Sorry It Was You. Bleak but compelling.

In October 2001, the music industry was riven by piracy and had no idea how to solve it. Enter Steve Jobs, whose new device created a digital music market a and made Apple into a titan
In 2001, the record business was in freefall due to digital piracy, and the best way out of this accelerating crisis came in the shape of a white device the size of a deck of cards. The iPod, launched 20 years ago this week, was also how Appleas Steve Jobs was able to prey on a failing business in order to avenge his own past failures a exiled between 1985 and 1997 from the company he co-founded a by turning Apple into the most profitable company in history.
Before the iPod lifeline arrived in October 2001, record labels were in full panic mode. In its annual report for 2001, record company trade body IFPI called it aa turbulenta year, blaming filesharing and CD burning for a revenue slump. Jay Berman was chief exective of IFPI at the time and calls the scale of filesharing then aa crisis of momentous proportionsa for record labels. aIt really was,a he says, aa foreign invasion.a

Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen discuss their dads, their unlikely friendship, and second careers a as podcast hosts
President Barack Obama
Good conversations donat follow a script. Like a good song, theyare full of surprises, improvisations, detours. They may be grounded in a specific time and place, reflecting your state of mind and the current state of the world. But the best conversations also have a timeless quality, taking you back into the realm of memory, propelling you forward toward your hopes and dreams. Sharing stories reminds you that youare not alone a and maybe helps you understand yourself a little bit better.
When Bruce and I first sat down in the summer of 2020 to record Renegades: Born in the USA, we didnat know how our conversations would turn out. What I did know was that Bruce was a great storyteller, a bard of the American experience a and that we both had a lot on our minds, including some fundamental questions about the troubling turn our country had taken. A historic pandemic showed no signs of abating. Americans everywhere were out of work. Millions had just taken to the streets to protest the murder of George Floyd, and the then occupant of the White House seemed intent not on bringing people together but on tearing down some of the basic values and institutional foundations of our democracy.

There is a fitting Sopranos-esque vagueness to the phrase ain talks witha, as in, Tony is in talks with New York or Carmela is in talks with the priest. The US streaming platform HBO Max has announced that it is in talks with David Chase about bringing the surprising TV hit of the pandemic back to the small screen. aWeare talking to David about a new series, Sopranos-related, on HBO Max,a confirmed television executive Ann Sarnoff last week.
It would be surprising, at this stage of renewed Sopranos fever, if these talks were not happening. The last two years have brought flash-in-the-pan TV smashes, from Mare of Easttown to Bridgerton to Squid Game, but there has been nothing like the level of reverence still bestowed on The Sopranos, either by those rewatching it for the second or third time (I put my hand up here) or the people who have come to it fresh, having been too young to absorb it when it was first on air.

Set of six copies of portraits first produced in 1579 in Venice are going up for auction in London next week
They were powerful rulers of perhaps the mightiest empire the world has ever seen, and their portraits oiled the wheels of diplomacy. Six sultans of the Ottoman empire, which spanned more than six centuries and dominated a great swathe of the world, gaze out beneath magnificent, bulbous turbans, a symbol of their wealth and status.
An original set of 14 portraits was produced in Venice in 1579, and copies were made later. The only surviving intact set is in Munich, but a set of six goes on display at Christieas in London this weekend before being sold at auction on 28 October.

An archaeologist and an anthropologist dismantle received wisdom about the way early societies operated
History matters. As we debate statues and slavery and dispute the role of empire, we have become accustomed to constant sparring over the past. But there is one branch of history that has, so far, remained above the fray: the story of our very early past, the adawna of humanity. For the anthropologist David Graeber and archaeologist David Wengrow, this consensus is a problem. As they argue in this iconoclastic and irreverent book, much of what we think we know of this distant era is actually a myth a indeed it is our origin myth, a modern equivalent of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. At its core is a story of the rise of civilisation and, with it, the rise of the state. Like all origin myths, this narrative has enormous power, and its reach and resilience are preventing us from thinking clearly about our present crises.
This myth, they argue, can be found on the shelves of every high-street and airport bookshop, in super-sellers such as Yuval Noah Hararias Sapiens, Jared Diamondas The World Until Yesterday and Francis Fukuyamaas The Origins of Political Order. All of these books share a common assumption: as societies become larger, more complex, wealthy and aciviliseda, they inevitably become less equal. Early humans, it is said, lived like the foragers of the Kalahari, in small, mobile bands that were casually egalitarian and democratic. But this primitive idyll or Hobbesian hell (views differ) disappeared with settlement and farming, which required the management of labour and land. The emergence of early cities, and ultimately states, demanded even steeper hierarchies, and with them the whole civilisational package a leaders, administrators, the division of labour and social classes. The lesson, then, is clear: human equality and freedom have to be traded for progress.

Uncanny and creepy, premonitions that turn out to be authentic can feel profound. But is there science to explain them?
Around seven years ago, Garrett, was in a local Pizza Hut with his friends, having a day so ordinary that it is cumbersome to describe. He was 16 a or thereabouts a and had been told by teachers to go around nearby businesses and ask for gift vouchers that the school could use as prizes in a raffle. There were five other teenagers with Garrett, and theyad just finished speaking to the restaurant manager when suddenly, out of nowhere, Garrettas his body was flooded with shock. He felt cold and clammy and had an aoverwhelming sense that something had happeneda. He desperately tried to stop himself crying in front of his peers.
aIt was like Iad just been told something terrible,a the now 23-year-old from the southwest of England says (his name has been changed on his request). aI couldnat tell you exactly what it was, but I just knew something had happened.a Garrett returned home and tried to distract himself from a feeling he describes as grief. The phone rang. His mum answered it. A few hours earlier a around the time Garrett was in the restaurant a his grandfather had died from a sudden heart attack while on a cruise.

Sweet and savoury treats for the big night: black lime gummy worms, a deep-fried noodle snack with fried peanuts and curry leaves, and pumpkin spice cookies
For anyone doing the sweet-sweep rounds next weekend, Halloween can feel more like trick and treat, rather than trick or treat. No sooner have our kids been plied with sweets than we try to trick them out of eating them. Or did Scrooge just come early to our house this year? Anyway, for 2021, Iam going to lean into making Halloween snacks instead: black lime gummy worms, pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies and something savoury to offset the nightas sugar excesses. All treats, no tricks.
