Shein, PDD Group’s Temu and ByteDance’s TikTok Shop, which recently began online shopping in the U.S., ship the majority of their products directly from factories in China to shoppers by air in individually addressed packages.And their growing popularity – Shein and Temu together send almost 600,000 packages to the United States every day, according to a June 2023 report by the U.S. Congress – is boosting air-freight costs from Asian hubs like Guangzhou and Hong Kong, making off-peak seasons almost disappear and causing capacity shortages, the sources said.
“The biggest trend impacting air freight right now is not the Red Sea, it’s Chinese e-commerce companies like Shein or Temu,” said Basile Ricard, director of Greater China operations at freight forwarder Bollore Logistics.Accor…
At a farm in Nakhon Nayok province, a two-hour drive north-east of Bangkok, Tawatchai Maneemart tends to some 3,000 snails.He lets them roam freely in a 21-square-metre (226 sq ft) enclosure that mimics their natural habitat, and feeds them with organic cucumbers and green leafy vegetables.
These snails, about three inches long, are bred by farmers for their mucus, made popular in large part by a South Korean beauty trend that uses the filtered slime in face serums and moisturisers.“If we nurture them well and keep them happy by providing them with a pleasant habitat and good food, they will be healthy,” said Tawatchai, explaining that healthier snails bred in a stress-free environment are more likely to produce high-quality mucus.Advocates of the snail cream say the mucus is …

Julian Dunkerton, who remains the under-performing retailer’s biggest shareholder, said it was the “weakest” performance in the firm’s 34-year history, that it was a “damning indictment of Superdry’s misguided strategy” and that “action must be taken.”The company had posted a sales fall for the latest quarter with even its web sales dropping, and while it said its transformation plan is proceeding, the befits from this are still some way off.
But Dunkerton believes the firm current strategy of reducing the number of products available is “failing dismally” and that compared to “the group’s peers, who have been exposed to the same external factors, [its] numbers are very disappointing.”Opinion seems to be divided on whether he’s right thoughคำพู…

Brittany Mahomes Trolls Patrick Mahomes For Wearing Crocs to Chiefs Photo Shoot
Fair to say that Patrick Mahomes has always gone for the big plays.
Years before he led his team to a second Super Bowl victory in 2023, the three-sport Whitehouse High School athlete (a star quarterback, he also played basketball and baseball) was just another 18-year-old trying to dream up an Insta-worthy promposal for his cheerleader girlfriend of more than two years.
He'd done the whole scrawl-prom?-all-over-her-car thing for her senior year in 2013, "SCARING the crap out of me," Brittany Mahomes (née Matthews) shared on her feed at the time. And he'd gone "cute and simple" with a cookie cake invite to hi…
Why Gymnast Suni Lee Is a Relatable Olympic Icon
Sunisa "Suni" Lee may be the reigning all-around women's gymnastics champion, but for a while she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to return to defend her title at the 2024 Paris Olympics this summer.
The 20-year-old, who enrolled at Auburn University after winning gold at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, made the tough decision to step off the mat and end her college career in April due to a "non-gymnastics health related issue" that she later shared was an incurable kidney disease.
And though she declined the invitation to attend the U.S. team selection camp for the world championships in September, she is still hoping to recover in time to compete in Paris, an impre…
