| In US beach resort, residents seek shelter from the storm Posted: 13 Sep 2018 09:35 PM PDT  With Hurricane Florence downgraded on Thursday from a Category Four to a Category Two storm, and then once again, around fifty people left the evacuation shelter in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The shelter had been set up in a school and was offering temporary refugee from the elements to around 400 people on Thursday, although it had a capacity for up to 1,200 in the popular seaside resort. "A lot of people left this morning, because they said it was down to Category Two but a Two can still do a lot of damage," she said, noting that even in the lower classification, Florence's winds would be buffeting at 100 miles per hour (161 kilometers per hour).

| Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) Is a Victim of Its Own Success Posted: 14 Sep 2018 10:19 AM PDT ![Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) Is a Victim of Its Own Success]( "Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) Is a Victim of Its Own Success") After reporting consistent earnings and same-store sales beats throughout 2018 that have sent its stock up more than 30 percent on the year to new all-time highs, Costco Wholesale Corporation (NYSE: COST) may finally be becoming a victim of its own success. Wells Fargo analyst Edward Kelly downgraded COST stock from "outperform" to "market perform" and says it will be difficult for Costco to impress the market at this point. Kelly says Costco's performance has been stellar in recent quarters, but it's unlikely the company will continue to deliver its impressive sales growth in 2019.

After a tumultuous start to the month, investors finally had something to smile about Thursday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin invited Chinese officials for fresh talks to avert an all-out trade war. The news provided some much-needed support, which was improved on later in the day with data showing US consumer price inflation slid in August, easing pressure on the Federal Reserve to tighten borrowing costs.

| Who is Jack Brooksbank, the wine merchant fiancé of Princess Eugenie? Posted: 14 Sep 2018 12:49 AM PDT  He was working as a waiter in a cocktail bar when he met her. But it was no rags to riches story for Jack Brooksbank, who is set to marry Princess Eugenie in October. Educated at Stowe School in Buckingham, where boarding fees are currently almost £12,000 per term, Brooksbank, 31, is a descendant of the Brooksbank baronets and reportedly a distant cousin of Eugenie's. (Her mother, the Duchess of York, is the great-great-granddaughter of Lady Julia Coke, who is the daughter of Jack's great-great-grandfather, Thomas Coke.) Son of George Brooksbank, 68, a chartered accountant and company director, and his wife Nicola, 64, Jack has a younger brother called Thomas, 29 - a possible candidate for best man. Since 2001, the family address has been an apartment in a gated period conversion in Wandsworth, not far from Battersea Park. Princess Eugenie's royal wedding | Read more Brooksbank was introduced to Eugenie, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, during a ski holiday in Verbier, Switzerland and the couple have been together for more than six years. Back then, Eugenie was studying English literature, history of art and politics at Newcastle University and Brooksbank is said to have been waiting tables and serving drinks at Devonshire Terrace, a bar and restaurant near Liverpool Street in London. Having left school in the mid-noughties, he had given university a miss, choosing instead to launch himself straight into a career in hospitality. He went on to work at Chelsea's Admiral Codrington pub, from where he was poached by businessman and nightclub owner Piers Adam and employed by the Markham Inn nearby. "At the Markham Inn, I had to deal with lots of strange people, and everyone was demanding," he once said of his experience there. "I also got to know the locals, which I loved." These included Prince Harry and his close friend Guy Pelly who, according to Tatler, "pulled him into the Mahiki set". Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank at the Qatar Goodwood Festival at Goodwood Racecourse on July 30, 2015 in Chichester Credit: Tristan Fewings/ Getty Images Europe He went on to manage the Mayfair nightclub, a favourite among royalty and celebrities, and also owned by Adam. Then, in August 2016, he set up his own company, Jack Brooksbank Limited, a wine wholesaler. He is described by those who know him as "kind and selfless" and a perfect match for Eugenie. Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, a friend of the couple, tells the Telegraph: "Never have I known a couple with so much lust for life, who light up every room they enter with joy, laughter and unprecedented warmth. I'm sure you'll hear this a lot but Jack possesses one of the most infectious laughs you'll hear, and you will hear it!! They float with laughter and love .. although a boat helps! #engagement#eugieandjack@TheDukeOfYork@yorkiebeapic.twitter.com/Q7ezWecUsa— Sarah Ferguson (@SarahTheDuchess) January 22, 2018 I always say that the river flows well to it's destiny because of the guidance of a solid rock #engagement#eugieandjack@TheDukeOfYork@TheDukeOfYorkpic.twitter.com/hvCnnOwZpo— Sarah Ferguson (@SarahTheDuchess) January 22, 2018 "It has been a pleasure watching their relationship grow over the years, two people who enjoy each other's company so much. They are two of the kindest, [most] selfless and sensitive people I know. In that they have met their match." But Brooksbank hasn't entirely avoided scandal. In 2013, a tabloid newspaper reported that explicit photographs of him touching the naked breasts of a stripper while blindfolded and covered in candle wax during his 21st birthday celebrations had been leaked online. The pictures were quickly removed from the internet after they had been discovered. Newsletter Promotion - Royal Appointment - in article
