HR Masterclass Series: We're going virtual! New courses, new formats!
Review the 2020 masterclasses here »
The war between human resources and business leaders is evident, but it's time HR leaders start asking themselves what they really bring to the table, says David Lim, senior director for staffing in APAC at Quintiles East Asia.
How many times have you heard a human resources division colleague complain about not having a seat on the management board? How often have you heard (mostly through the grapevine) that "HR doesn't understand our business; they don't add value." The war between human resources and business operations is indeed evident.
More often than not, two parties go into finger-pointing mode, with business leaders ("cowboys") on one side and HR leaders ("policemen") on the other.
Maybe as HR practitioners we should break the vicious cycle and start asking ourselves what value do we bring to the table?
Are we supposed to add value by being primarily a guardian angel, making sure rules and regulations are followed? Or are we supposed to be creative solution-providers to the business, with our guardian angel role being "table staked" – a given – and leveraging on our subject matter expertise to provide solutions to business needs?
Arriving at the latter calls for a paradigm shift in terms of how human resources thinks and operates.
Conventional practitioners, when faced with an issue, first look at the current equilibrium and their internal human resources key performance indicators. The focus veers toward what additional work is required and whether the solution has any legal implications.
Instead, we should first ask what the business is trying to achieve and what options can be applied, regardless of the current status. Such a mindset shift expands the universe of solutions, as there are far fewer boundaries.
Instead of asking "how" first, our initial question should be "what". Focusing on the former limits our creativity and possible solutions.
Case in point: Years ago when I was working for another company, one HR KPI was to reduce search agency hires and rely on internal sourcing. As a result, recruiters used search agencies only as a last resort.The result was that the business suffered even while HR met this KPI. Because recruiters (human resources) failed to understand – or had no incentives to understand – that while reducing search agency costs was important, the business operations revenue lost as a result of delays in getting critical headcount onboard was even higher. In this case, HR's focus on saving money ended up subtracting value from the business.
In other cases, I have seen HR fall into state of "analysis paralysis" caused by fear of upsetting the status quo. Encouraging, empowering and incentivising HR practitioners to boldly move to solve business issues needs to be pushed and prioritised.
I am not proposing that HR practitioners join the posse of business cowboys. However, to claim a seat HR needs to balance the business needs versus other constraints. In today's fast-paced business environment, we must start thinking about business outcomes first and HR implications second.

Student Government Association is becoming more of a presence around campus, and that's always cool to be a part of. I was never really involved with the sororities, and I don't know much about the fraternities...but sometimes they'll have some neat things going on, if they're selling food and have loud music going on in between classes, that's always cool. But the Greek thing isn't really a heavy scene around here...at least in my experience.
I will say though that football returned in 2010, and whether you're into football or not it's been pretty exciting. They built a stadium and students get free tickets if we want, so it's neat to have that going on during the fall. Basketball draws a lot of folks from the community as well, and between basketball and football, the sports at Lamar earn us a great deal of support from the community.
As far as a dating "scene," well, I don't know how those function at any school? No differently than meeting friends? I've made several friends at Lamar, mostly in class, believe it or not. The class sizes at their largest hover around 40-50 students, so you really get a chance to pair up with a study buddy and help each other out. I've still got friends from my Geology 2 class..and without them, I might not have passed. Surviving that kind of pressure all but makes you friends for life, ha. So if you're looking for love at Lamar, I'd start in the classroom. It's the perfect place to get to know somebody. Just don't talk or text or whatever, some professors will humiliate you if you get caught. (I've seen it.)
The party scene usually settles itself around the local bars in downtown Beaumont, and it's also pretty common for people to drive over state lines to Louisiana to go gambling once in a while. I've never lived on campus so I wouldn't know what happens there, but I'm pretty sure the dorms are pretty tame. They're pretty-looking, too. There is however one bar that is literally across the street from campus, Kampus Korner, but this joint also has food, coffee, a jukebox, pool tables, and live music a few times a month I think. From what I understand people don't get too crazy over there. Usually they just kind of hang around and have fun, and it's safe. Nice place.
Man up is a very popular student organization that have many interesting confrences on juices topics.....
There just about every organization you can thing of you definely find one that fits you.
Football games are very important everyone goes..

Mrs. Fun The Best of Mrs. Fun
Published Mar 01, 2000Mrs. Fun is the Milwaukee duo of Connie Grauer (keyboards, keyboard bass and vocals) and Kim Zick (drums), who are often augmented by a series of various horn players. Half of the dozen tracks have vocals and are very Laurie Anderson-ish in both the skewed, arty perspective of the post-modernist poetry lyrics and the sometimes arch, half-spoken delivery. They've worked with kd lang, Jane Siberry and the Indigo Girls (who assist on "Gossip" here) in the past. The vocal portions are interesting in a detached, intellectual way, but things really kick-off when they just shut up and play, concentrating on the instrumental side. They take great pains to point out that they use no overdubs or sequencing, which just makes the tight, funky racket they churn out all the more impressive. Their art funk is deliciously off-kilter and has a pronounced jazzy edge to it, thanks in part to those horns. They call it hardcore electra-acid jazz, but somebody else's comparison to Anderson, Thelonious Monk and Nina Hagen seems more accurate. Grauer is an amazing keyboard player - how anyone can play those funky bass lines while simultaneously playing the lead keyboard solos is mind boggling. This compilation is drawn nearly equally from their four previous LPs, covering 1987 to 1999. And nobody can accuse them of false advertising, 'cause this is indeed a lot of fun. (Daemon)

"Create something for people to see, create anything to make sure you're heard and make sure you do it regularly so that people don't forget you."
I'm paraphrasing heavily, and I can't remember who exactly said this, but I do know it was a notable marketing influencer that is followed by a large number of people. It was one of those comments that don't sit nicely with you, like a three day old Boksburg curry.
I let it sit in the back of my head so that I could think about this and the danger of this attitude for how we're perceived and how we communicate. It troubled me. It felt like the kind of comment a person makes in a meeting that isn't supposed to be there but wants to make an impact. The type of person that turns a 30-minute sit-down into an afternoon.
You'd have to have the kind of confidence (stupidity) not to make an ass of yourself because nobody can be on the money consistently.
I'm concerned that brands take this route too and many are.
It is so important that we create content with purpose and at the risk of giving away our thinking, I'm going to show you how we do that when we build our content for our clients at Sconetent. I've explained this at every pitch so and talk that I have done. I know there are brands out there using this thinking anyway. Many people aren't, and it shows because there is so much social content out there that feels like a politicians megaphone.
We always start with the objective, which is the first thing we ask a client. We begin with '5 Whats?' How Eskom of me? And before you roll your eyes. It's not the same as the 'Sinek Why!'
What do you want to say?
What do you want to find out about yourself?
What is the personality that you want to convey?
What is the purpose of the content?
These should feed your final, and most important 'What?"
What is your objective?
Let's choose an objective that would please most business people and not necessarily only the marketers.
At this point, the creative element of strategic content can take over but still be developed to make sure that we aid the business in its overarching objective. As a sidebar, a business marketing goal might not be the same as the actual business objective. In this case, a business objective makes the example sit nicer for everyone, especially small business owners.
The next step is to create the emotional trigger that we want to elicit from the audience. Emotion is the reason we react. I have spoken about emotional content often, and you can read about this here and here. I stand by this as this is what we built Sconetent on.
I'm going to say for this example is that we're going to sell shit by making people happy through humour. We want to develop a relationship with the customer through laughter, albeit a little bit cheeky. We want to become friends without trying too hard.
From here things get simple. We pull down four content pillars that will guide how we write the content and brief it into the creative team to make sure everything talks to being someone's favourite brand and that we sell shit.
You can have as many content pillars as you like, we pick three to four because this creates a nice mix without being too random, after all – we have an objective to meet.
Here are the four I am going to use that will then drive this.
- Humour – Really hilarious content with high shareability
- Connect – This is content used to develop a personal interest in the brand
- Engage – Really great material with exceptional potential for engagement
- Sell – We talk about the product
We then create a content pillar split, for the sake of ease, let's say we're posting five times a week and the division would be 25% per content pillar. We would then create five pieces of content for each content component.
By doing this, you create content with the objective in mind regularly. It's always accurate and definitely with purpose. It's not just social content its business content using social as a medium. This example is, of course, an oversimplified one but an excellent way for you to start using to create objective-based social content if you are using it as a place to just put content and hope that it works.
If you feel like your content has no purpose and is doing nothing more than a flyer or billboard would and you're using an agency.
You need to find a new agency 😉

It may come as a surprise to know your response when asked your favourite colour can reveal things about you. That's because often colour has a way of influencing the way it makes us feel. The premise is colour psychology and the idea that colour evokes an emotional, mental and even behavioural response capable of impacting our mood.
Our Victoria BC painters are aware of this aspect of the paint industry when working with clients to reflect the right mood. The feel may range from lively in the family room, formal and elegant in the dining room or a calm, serene bedroom. If you want to create a feel or mood when selecting paint colour here are some tips to follow.
Cool versus warm colours
The six colours on a colour wheel are split into warm and cool colours. Red, orange and yellow are warm and remind us of sunshine and warmth. The remaining ones green, blues and violet are relaxing and calm reminiscent of nature, water and sky with their coolness.
Start by determining the main function of the room and the feel you want the colour choice to evoke. Thoughtful use of colour can influence the way people feel, think and behave in that room.
Warm colour suggestions, the intensity of reds, oranges and yellows have a very energetic, warm and friendly feeling. Best used in kitchens, dining rooms, workout spaces, and yellow is nice in bathrooms just avoid too bright shades. Any of the warm colours work well in rooms where people tend to gather together.
The calm feel of blues is ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms or offices while darker shades of purple create and elegance in your dining room. Green with it's many shades to choose from creates a relaxing mood for a bedroom, bathroom or in the living room.
Black is a neutral colour is useful to highlight other colours while white gives a contemporary, spacious feel. Both these neutral are ideal used as an accent colour.

Burris: 'I'm Here To Take My Seat'
Burris: 'I'm Here To Take My Seat'
Illinois U.S. Senate appointee Roland Burris faces a battle today in Washington, D.C., as he attempts to sign in as the replacement for President-elect Barack Obama. But the cloud hanging over Burris' appointer, embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, could topple his attempts. Rep. Danny K. Davis, a Chicago Democrat who was initially tapped as Obama's replacement, and NPR's Political Editor Ken Rudin discuss a potentially dramatic day on Capitol Hill.
MICHEL MARTIN, host:
I'm Michel Martin, and this is Tell Me More from NPR News. Coming up, President-elect Barack Obama is back in Washington and made it clear his first order of business is the economy. But we want to ask what's happened with the federal bailout money that's already been handed out. We'll talk with our money coach about that in just a few minutes.
But first, Congress is also back to work. The members of the 111th session of Congress will be sworn in today, but there's uncertainty over two unresolved Senate seats. In Minnesota, comedian Al Franken, a Democrat, won a week-long recount and declared victory in the race, but his Republican opponent says he will challenge the result in court.
And in Illinois, the man tapped to fill Barack Obama's vacant seat came to Washington to claim that seat. Roland Burris, the former Illinois attorney general, was appointed by embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich last week, but opponents say the appointment is tainted because the governor is under federal investigation for corruption charges for trying to essentially auction off the seat.
But Burris and some supporters say that Mr. Burris has never been accused of any impropriety, and the state citizens shouldn't have to do without representation because of the allegations against Blagojevich.
We're going to talk about all this with Danny K. Davis. He's a member of Congress representing Illinois's seventh district, and we were able to catch up with him as he made his way to the Capitol to be sworn in to begin serving his 7th term. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us.
Representative DANNY DAVIS (Democrat, Illinois): Well, thank you. It's indeed a pleasure.
MARTIN: And you're about to be sworn in to your seventh term in Congress. Is it still exciting?
Rep. DAVIS: Well, it is still exciting. It is still exhilarating, and it is something that you look forward to.
MARTIN: It's to my understanding that Governor Blagojevich initially offered the seat to you. Is that correct?
Rep. DAVIS: That is correct, but I decided that because of the uncertainty and because of the protracted fight and since I'm already engaged in a number of things that take up my time, that deal would - what I call substantive issues, like finding solutions to the homeless problem or helping ex-offenders reintegrate back into society and trying to find out why so many kids don't go to school and drop out so early. I decided I best spend my time working on those issues as opposed to defending why the governor appointed me.
MARTIN: It's been reported that you recommended that the governor tap Roland Burris for the seat. Is that true?
Rep. DAVIS: That is true.
MARTIN: Why not recommend that he either resign or that he go forward with a special election as the Illinois assembly was initially inclined to do?
Rep. DAVIS: Well, I don't think that he was going to resign. I think he'd already dug in and decided that he was the governor, and that he had every legal right to make this decision, and I think that he has every legal right to make the decision, and he has done so.
And he has made it for an individual who has impeccable credentials - 20 years of solid experience as a statewide elected official, never any hint of impropriety or scandal. So he couldn't have come up with a better choice for the situation.
MARTIN: But can I press you on this question of a special election?
Rep. DAVIS: Sure.
MARTIN: And why would not a special election have been the fairest way to resolve this matter, so that - let the voters decide?
Rep. DAVIS: I don't know what fair is? The law already exists. The question of fairness is always debatable. Is it fair for birds to eat worms? If you ask a bird, you get one answer. If you ask the worm, you get another one. And so the law exists.
If the legislature decided to change the law, then it's their prerogative to do so. But the leaders in Illinois have decided up to this point that a special election would just simply be too costly at the moment, especially given the fact that state finances like they are all over the country are having difficulty, and they just decided that that was not the most prudent thing to do.
MARTIN: Forgive me for pressing this point. The other argument, though, is that the real issue is political - is that there was a feeling on the part of Democratic leaders in Springfield that the seat might go to a Republican because of the taint around Blagojevich and all of this, and so the argument that they are making is that the real reason that the state government leaders didn't want a special election is that they thought a Republican might win?
Rep. DAVIS: Well, there are always political considerations in almost any decision that gets made. I think that's why it's called politics. And so there's certainly nothing wrong with protecting your political position.
You see, I happen to believe that it's in the best interest of the state of Illinois and of the citizens of Illinois that a Democrat continue to hold that seat which Democrats and other people voted to elect a Democrat to fill. And so I think people have already indicated that they wanted a Democrat to fill the seat, and that's why the Democratic party in a sense - or the Democratic governor gets an opportunity to appoint a replacement for President-elect Barack Obama.
MARTIN: And what about the racial aspect of it? Do you also think it important that the seat be filled by an African-American, since Barack Obama is an African-American, and there are currently no other African-Americans serving in the Senate? Do you think that matters, too?
Rep. DAVIS: Well, I think all of that matters, but I think the real deal is who best fits the description of an individual to fill that vacancy at the moment. A qualified African-American? A qualified non-African-American, qualified Latino?
It's just that in appointing or selecting Roland Burris that the governor did two things. One, he selected a very qualified individual no matter what race or ethnic group he may have come from, and, of course, Roland Burris is, in fact, an African-American. And so, at the moment, that's the best possible selection that he could have made.
MARTIN: What do you think should happen now, recognizing that as a member of the House you don't really have a dog in the fight in the sense of what the Senate does, although, of course, you have an interest as a citizen of Illinois and a representative of Illinois. What do you think Harry Reid should do, the Senate majority leader?
Rep. DAVIS: Well, I think my interest - I think my interest and the interest of the citizens of Illinois would be best served should the Senate go ahead and confirm the appointment of Roland Burris to fill the vacancy.
And then, of course, the people in Illinois will decide what they're going to do about the problems the governor is facing, you know. Hearings are under way relative to impeachment. Of course, the indictment proceedings are also under way, and the state of Illinois can take care of those problems related to the governor. But I think the United States Senate should take care of the issue of confirming Roland Burris, and I think that's what they really should do today.
MARTIN: Finally, congressman, as I mentioned, we've caught up with you on you way to be sworn in, and we appreciate you taking the time. What's your top priority as you get back to work?
Rep. DAVIS: Well, I think that we obviously have to find a solution to some of the economic problems facing our country. We are in serious economic difficulty.We've got to be able to create jobs and work opportunities, and I think the proposed infrastructure development plan, the stimulus that President-elect Obama's, is one of the best ways of doing that.
MARTIN: Danny K. Davis is a member of Congress. He is a Democrat. He represents the seventh district of Illinois. He was kind enough to join us on the phone as he's on his way to be sworn in to begin his seventh term serving in the House of Representatives. Congressman Davis, thank you so much for speaking with us, and happy New Year to you.
Rep. DAVIS: Thank you, and it's been my pleasure.
MARTIN: We're going to go now to NPR's political editor, Ken Rudin, to pick up the rest of the story. He's here with me in the studio. Welcome back. Happy New Year to you also.
KEN RUDIN: Thank you, Michel.
MARTIN: You just heard Danny Davis talk about what he thinks should happen. Now, this obviously is embarrassing for the Democrats to start the session with this cloud. What do you think Harry Reid is going to do?
RUDIN: Well, you see, he hasn't changed his mind. He still says that until there's two signatures on Roland Burris's appointment - of the governor and the secretary of state, Jesse White, then he gets appointed. And then he gets a credential. But Jesse White, the Illinois secretary of state, has refused to sign it because of the taint surrounding Rod Blagojevich.
But other people are trying to say that when Roland Burris shows up at noon today to try to present his credentials, it's almost like George Wallace standing in front of the court house door, you know, back in Alabama because it's just according to the state law the governor has the right to appoint whomever he chooses, and the governor has picked Roland Burris. So there may be a confrontation. Burris's says he will not want one. The Democrats obviously don't want one, but it will be interesting to see what happens.
MARTIN: You said before that you think this is going to end up in court no matter what.
RUDIN: Well, it has to - it has to because the question is, you know, Blagojevich still named a specials date for the Rahm Emmanuel congressional seat, and nobody questioned that. So why are they questioning this? I mean, do you pick and choose which of Blagojevich's actions you like? So I think that's kind of the argument that the Burris camp is going to fight.
MARTIN: Speaking of court, there's another disputed Senate seat. Democrat Al Franken, a former entertainer turned politician, was declared the winner of his race with Republican incumbent Norm Coleman after a recount that dragged on for weeks. But now, Republicans say that he shouldn't be seated, and they're going to go to court. On what grounds?
RUDIN: Well, he wasn't declared the winner yet. He wasn't certified the winner yet. He leads by 225 votes. All the votes have been counted. Norm Coleman, who basically was supposed to have won this race - he thought he won the race - on November 4th, he had a sizable lead. Now, he's down by 225. He says there are still some hundred - 600 - some 600 absentee ballots that have yet to be counted.
Also, he's contending that there are at least 100 votes that have been counted twice. He's going to the courts to try to make his case, but it seems like the numbers have stopped against him even if he gets some kind of a second hearing. The 225 vote lead is the largest that Al Franken has had since the counting began on November 4th.
MARTIN: So what court next? What court do they appeal to? Is this a federal issue or…
RUDIN: Well, if it's the state, the Supreme Court will refuse to hear because there have been some close elections in Minnesota history in the past where they have gone to the state Supreme Court with the option of going to a federal court. But sounds like where Franken and the Republicans - and we heard from John Cornyn, the Republican senator from Texas, that they want to fight as long as they can. They will fight whatever ways they can, and that could be a federal court.
MARTIN: And finally, Bill Richardson, New Mexico's governor, withdrew from consideration to serve as commerce secretary in the Obama administration. Now, when President-elect Obama originally chose him, there had been some concern about the lack of Latinos in important cabinet positions. Is that - does that argument still go for them? Who's to blame here? Was this a vetting problem, or do you think that Bill Richardson was less than candid about the political problems he would have getting confirmation?
RUDIN: Well I think everybody knew that there was a pay-for-play investigation going on in New Mexico. Richardson insists that he told the Obama vetting team about this problem, but I think, even though Rod Blagojevich's name did not come up in the Richardson withdrawal, what happened in Illinois got so ugly that the Obama people feared that any taint from New Mexico could hurt them even further, and that's why they were glad to cut him lose.
MARTIN: Ken Rudin is NPR's political editor. He was kind enough to join us here in our Washington, D.C. studio. And you can read his blog, Political Junkie, at npr.org at anytime. Thanks again, Ken.
RUDIN: Thanks, Michel.

The controversy surrounding Aziz Ansari's accuser continues, with many still undecided on how to go about handling the allegation. The comedian was accused by a woman who goes by the name "Grace" of "inappropriate behavior" and sexual misconduct after the two went on a date.
While many have debated where the line of consent should be drawn, others in media have come to Ansari's defense and slammed his accuser for potentially "damaging" the #MeToo and Time's Up movement.
Fellow comedian and actress Amy Schumer is now giving her sentiments on the situation and also recounting her own experience with sexual assault.
"I Was Flat Out Raped"
Schumer spoke on the subject during an interview on The Katie Couric Podcast. The actress, who is also friends with Ansari, stated that she doesn't want to see Ansari's career affected by the allegation but that it doesn't make the situation okay. Schumer also stated that unfortunately, even if Ansari is innocent, people tend to assume the worse.
"They go, 'Does he deserve this?' And it's really not about that. I think it's about expressing and showing women that that behavior's not okay and not only can you leave, but you need to leave. Because then the women who come after you, you're leaving a mark for them too," the actress stated.
The Trainwreck star also elaborated that she, herself, was raped and that there need to be more discussions between women about the "different levels" of being in uncomfortable situations.
"We need to be teaching each other the kind of behavior that's acceptable and so when something comes up, to say, 'That makes me really uncomfortable," or just what you're willing to accept. Those are the hard conversations, but we can't let things continue the way that they've continued because there's so many different levels of it."
Schumer ended the discussion by stating that even though she is close with Ansari, she understands where the woman is coming from as well.
"Even if it's my friend, I don't go, 'Oh, but he's a good guy.' I think, 'What would it feel like to have been her?'" Schumer concluded.
Ansari's accuser was a 23 year-old photographer who has still chosen to remain anonymous. Ansari confirmed that he and the women did engage in sexual activity in his apartment, however the following day he received a message from her stating he she was "uncomfortable" with how the night went.
Ansari claimed he reached out to her to settle any misgivings the woman had.

Off Page SEO
What is Off Page SEO?
Off Page SEO is the process where we do activities outside the website. Whereas in On Page SEO we do it inside the website. Off page SEO means not only building backlinks but there are many other things which I am going to discuss in this post. Off
Backlinks are the links that are pointing to your site. We create these backlinks using Anchor Texts, Links. Your website should have Quality Backlinks. What is Quality Backlink? For example, you run a site that is talking about technology. Then you should have a link from the site that is also talking about technology pointing to your domain.
The importance of having backlinks is that:
- It improves Google Search Rank
- It helps to pass the SEO juice so that the Google bots can easily crawl to your site
- You get more traffic to your site
Now what is a Quality backlink:
- Link coming from high page rank site or blog
- The site that has high Domain authority
- Link from the website that has a similar concept or content
- Stay away from paid links
When Google finds that your website is having most links pointing to your site, then it thinks that your site is more valuable and gives a good search rank. This is because the SEO juice is passing from other sites to your site. What if SEO juice doesn't pass? So we can get these backlinks as no follow and Do follow.
What is No follow link?
When other pages will not allow
A no follow link is created with the no follow link HTML tag
Link Text
What is do follow link?
It is contrast to no follow link. SEO juice will pass through your site. By default all the links are do follow links unless modified to no follow.
Here is an example of what a dofollow link looks like in HTML:
<ahref="http://raventools.com">great seo tools
Benefits of do follow links:
To improve Google page rank, you must get Quality backlink. To get Good page rank, you must build
ettersearch rank.
- Improves blog authority.
- Content ranks higher.
- Higher page rank attracts advertisers.
If a webpage has two links pointing to the same page of other website and out of two links, first is
How to Build do follow links:
- Guest Blogging:- You could get quality do follow
linkby guest posting. Find websites that are accepting guest posts. Choose those that contain higher ranks and good domain authority. Send them the content titles that you want to post and ask if they are interested in. Sometimes we may not get a reply. But don't stop the trails.
- Commenting on the sites that have similar content:- Commenting on the blogs helps you to get backlinks. By commenting you expose yourself and you read the content and update yourself. If you comment on the page that gets more traffic and has a higher rank then the traffic to your website also increases because of backlink.
- Blogger outreach:- One way to get a blogger to place a link on their blog is to give them an incentive. Show them the success of your previous content in terms of visits, social shares, links, comments generated – if you can demonstrate how successful your content is likely to be when the place, that is far more appealing to bloggers.
- Build Infographics:- Good infographics have the ability to make your content go viral, generate tons of high-quality backlinks, and improve your site's overall SEO.
Web Directories:-
Web Directories lists websites by subject and is usually maintained by humans instead of software. List your website in the relevant category. This helps in good SEO rankings.

The characteristic feature of branded paper Curious handled by the Japanese paper company HEIWA Paper is its shiny metallic lustre. In the advertising video, paper as a material is brought to life and made to shine impressively: cut in very narrow strands, the paper-like strips move, full of light, resembling a Japanese woman's shiny hair. Only at second glance does it become clear what the dark images actually portray. This visual symbiosis is enhanced linguistically in Japanese, where the homonym "Kami" means paper and hair.

A good mix of growers, garden retailers and suppliers attended the sell-out Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) Sustainability Matters Conference, held at Horticulture House in Oxfordshire this week.
The attendance of the event demonstrated the importance of this topic to the industry.
There was also wider interest from the media with representatives from BBC Gardeners' World Magazine and BBC's Radio 4's You and Yours programme also attending, along with the trade press.
Opening the event HTA President Adam Taylor from Taylors Bulbs began with a definition of sustainability making the point that it is not just about plastics. He pointed out that with TV programmes gaining more public momentum, there has been no time more important than now to make it top of your priority list. It isn't about pointing the finger and giving blame, it is about working together and finding strategies that work across the industry, he said.
George Bullivant, director of Gardenforum who was chairing the day, then followed discussing how important the matter of sustainability is for the industry. He talked about how it is a subject that has an emotional connection with so many people, and pointed out that if as an industry we get it wrong, it will have a detrimental effect across the whole industry.
Key points made by speakers throughout the day:
• 95 percent of consumers say that the environment is important to them
• Keen gardeners are more likely to be eco-friendly, recycle and willing to make a lifestyle compromise to benefit the environment than other consumers.
• Sustainability can help to create a competitive advantage for a brand and help you to build trust with consumers.
• It is important to assess the environmental impact of all constituent ingredients of growing media – not just peat. The Responsible Sourcing Guide for Growing Media will be available later in the year.
• Collins Word of the Year 2018 was 'single-use', largely due to the interest created by the media snowstorm that Blue Planet II created.
• The clear consumer message should be that non-black plastic pots are recyclable – recognising that other colours, in addition to taupe can be processed.
• Consider a re-use scheme – a positive way of showing consumers what you are doing. Why not create a wonky pot initiative!
• Social media is creating a chat storm around environmental issues but there is still a large gap between what people say and what they do.
• Tell a story about what you are doing as it will be businesses that respond positively to environmental challenges that will succeed.
• Take a positive approach to environmental communication with customers – we want them to keep on gardening!
• Environmental actions result in cost savings in the long run.
• Current recyclable alternatives are not the end solution and work continues in developing new options.
In summing up the day HTA president-elect Boyd Douglas-Davies from Hillview Group said: "What an insightful and stimulating day with plenty of food for thought.
"The event demonstrated how small actions can make big differences and we need to take our customers with us on the journey. As an industry we are making great progress with regard to recyclable pots and let's not forget that we are producing a great product in the shape of plants or 'clean air machines'. We need to shout about this helping to ensure that the buyers of the future continue to come to us for great products with a positive impact on the environment."

On The Blog: The Cost of Living (An Ant and Bea Mystery)
Chapter 1
The bottle wobbled with every movement of the conveyor belt.
'You'd be better off lying that down,' Bea said at the exact moment that the wobble turned into a nosedive. The woman made a grab for it. Too late. It hit the floor, glass and brown sauce exploding horizontally over a surprisingly wide area. The little boy started crying. The girl in the trolley seat clapped her hands and crowed with delight.
'Oh my God! Oh my God!' The woman crouched down by her son. 'Mason, are you hurt? Let me look at your legs.'
There was sauce splattered on the thick fleece of his jogging bottoms, but nothing worse.
'I'm so stupid.'
'Is he all right?' Bea asked.
The woman was scrubbing at her son's legs with a used tissue.
'Yeah. Just in a mess. I can't believe—'
'It's all right,' Bea soothed. 'It's just an accident.' She pressed a button on her desk, lighting up the cube that identified her till. 'It's fine. Honestly. I'll get it cleaned up.'
'I can't do anything right. I can't do anything.'
The deputy manager, Neville, walked briskly towards them along the back of the tills, clutching a clipboard. As soon as he saw what the trouble was he swivelled on his heel and retreated to the customer service console. His nasal voice rang out through the tannoy system.
'Cleaner to checkout six. Cleaner to checkout six.'
The woman stood up, settling her son onto her hip. The sauce on his joggers made brown smears on her cream-coloured mac as she hitched him up.
'They'll be here soon,' said Bea. 'I'll get someone to fetch you a new bottle of sauce. Take the kids through. Sit down if you want. I'll do your packing.'
There were still a few items in the trolley. The woman's hands were shaking as she loaded them onto the belt. Her little girl was still clapping. 'Stop it, Tiffany. You're doing my head in.' She reached down to the bottom of the trolley for a tin of sweetcorn, squashing her son against the wire edge. His grizzling increased in volume. 'I'm just so stupid,' she said, her voice full of self-loathing. 'It's been that sort of day. Dave's right. I can't do anything.'
'Everyone has that sort of day. Luckily not all at the same time,' Bea said.
'I lost my wedding ring yesterday,' the woman confided. 'Dave went mad.'
She was gripping the handle of the trolley now, pushing it through to the packing area. Bea could see the pale line on her finger where her ring should have been.
'It'll turn up, I bet. By the sink? Or in it? Worth taking the trap apart.'
'It had better. My wedding ring. Dave's so upset. He thinks I'm . . . ' The end of the sentence was lost as she dissolved into tears.
A tall, lanky youth was shambling towards them along the adjacent aisle, pushing a little cart with a mop handle poking up and an array of cleaning sprays, wipes and buckets on board. His progress was glacially slow.
Bea sighed. So this was the new recruit they'd been asked to 'welcome to the team' at the staff meeting. Ant Thompson. She remembered him from school. The last time she'd seen him, he'd been painting some railings in the park, wearing a hi-vis jacket with the words 'Community Payback' plastered across it. Big Gav had plumbed new depths with this one.Top management decision.
Eventually Ant got to the end of the aisle and looked along the row of checkouts. Bea waved at him.
'Here!' she said. 'Right in front of you.'
She pointed to the mess, which looked like it could have been featured in a cartoon with the word SPLAT! in the middle.
'Yeah. Got it.'
He stood looking at it for a long time, rubbing his stubbly chin with his index finger, like a professor of maths facing an insoluble equation on a blackboard.
'Brush the big stuff up first, then mop up the rest,' Bea said.
'All right. On it.'
He started unpacking stuff from his trolley. Bea returned her attention to getting the shopping scanned and packed. There was a copy of the local paper, the Kingsleigh Bugle. The headline caught her eye. 'Is There a Kingsleigh Stalker?' Bea frowned. There had been rumours doing the rounds for a few weeks about women in the town being followed at night, but nothing concrete. She bleeped the barcode and moved on to the next item.
'Ah,' she said to the woman, who was now dabbing her face and taking some deep breaths. 'The three for two on the four-pack of this is actually better value than the value pack.' She held up a packet of toilet paper. 'Ant will get it for you. And a new bottle of sauce. Won't you, Ant?'
'You'll fetch three four-packs of loo roll and a brown sauce for this lady, won't you?'
He held his arms out wide, a brush in one hand and a dustpan in the other. 'What do you want from me? I'm not a chuffing personal shopper.'
'Please? Just to be nice?'
Bea creased her face into her smarmiest, sarkiest smile and batted her false eyelashes at him. He looked a bit confused for a second or two, then broke into a grin.
'Okay, but you'll have to tell me where to go. I haven't the foggiest.'
'Aisle three for the toilet tissue, aisle eleven for the sauce. Thanks, babe.'
His grin got wider. He dropped the brush and dustpan on the floor and set off.
'You'll get in trouble for that,' said a deep voice from the next till. 'You can't call people babe, babe, he'll have you for sexual harassment.' There was a volley of husky laughter.
Without looking over her shoulder, Bea called back, 'He should be so lucky. Anyway, you just did it to me. You flirting?'
This time she did turn around, and caught her neighbour's eye.
Dot, late fifties and beautifully quaffed and manicured, winked. 'You should be so lucky.'
By the time the shopping was packed and loaded back into the trolley, there was still no sign of Wonder Boy.
'He won't be a minute,' said Bea. Her customer was fumbling in her purse. She drew out a little wad of notes, ready to pay, but kept her purse open. Like a lot of people she had a photo in the plastic window where you can keep cards, a family snap – her, Mason, Tiffany and a smart-looking man in an open-necked shirt. A library card was peeking out of the other side of her purse, bearing the name 'Julie Ronson'.
At the other end of the checkout, shoppers kept approaching and then moving on, pulling faces at the mess on the floor.
Ant lumbered round the end of a shelf and headed back. Bea was relieved to see he'd managed to pick up the right stuff.
'At last! Thanks, b—' She stopped herself just in time. 'Thanks, Ant.'
She ran the items through the till and took the cash, while Ant started cleaning up.
'There we are,' she said, handing Julie her change. 'No harm done.' Bea smiled and Julie managed a watery smile back.
'Thank you,' she said. She put Mason down again and made him hold on to the trolley and they set off for the exit. Bea watched her go, then turned her attention to Ant, who was slopping soapy water around the floor with the mop. After a minute he ground to a halt, holding the mop with both hands and leaning his chin on top.
'You need to put your triangle out now,' said Bea. 'The wet floor one.'
'Okay. On it.' But he didn't move. 'I'm knackered,' he said. 'Don't know if I can hack this.'
'Shh, not in front of the customers. Go and empty that bucket in the drain outside.'
'Yeah. Right,' he said. He found the yellow warning cone and shambled off, leaving a good-sized puddle on the floor behind him.
When he'd gone, Bea clasped her hands together then turned them inside out, stretched and cracked her knuckles.
'Don't reckon he'll make it to Friday,' she said to Dot.
'Ah, don't be harsh. It's his first day. Remember yours?'
It felt to Bea that she'd always been there, although it was only five years since she started as a Saturday girl. She'd been full-time since she left school just after her A-levels, a couple of years ago.
'True enough,' she said. 'First days suck. If it's okay, I'll take my break now – it's only five minutes early – and no one's going to come near Lake Geneva for a while.'
'All right, doll.'
'You can't smoke out here.'
Ant was in the service yard, leaning against a wall, head back, blowing smoke into the drizzly air.
He grinned when he saw Bea. He knew there'd been a spark between them. She was a good-looking girl, too, with curves in all the right places. With her coat draped over her shoulders and that scraped-back ponytail, there was something about her, some old-school style.
'Can't leave me alone, can you? Can't keep away.'
She narrowed her eyes and nodded towards the 'No Smoking' sign directly above his head.
'I'm on my break. I wanted some fresh air,' she said pointedly. 'Not a lungful of second-hand smoke.'
He took another long drag, then dropped the cigarette end onto the concrete and ground it out with his shoe.
They stood side by side for a while, in silence, then Ant said, 'How did you do that thing with the bog roll?'
'How did you know what was better value?'
She shrugged. 'Simple maths. You either divide the totals by the units to get a unit price, or multiply the costs up until you've got the same number of units. I usually do both ways, just to check I'm right.'
'In your head?'
He pulled a downward smile and nodded. 'Impressed.'
'I'm not just a pretty face, you know.'
He snorted.
'What?' she said, ready to start a fight.
They lapsed into silence again. Ant sighed and closed his eyes.
'I meant it about not hacking it. I dunno if I can do another three hours of this.'
It was Bea's turn to snort. 'That's what I said to Dot. Reckon you're a quitter.'
His eyes shot open. 'Shut up!'
'Well, what else are you if you can't hack seven hours work for one day?'
'Oh, come on, it's dead boring.'
'It's not that bad. It's what you make it, like most things.'
'So you're not bored?'
'Yeah. No. I mean, I try not to be. I try to be nice to my customers, save them a bit of money, have a bit of banter. It makes a difference. I like it. And there's staff discount on everything.'
'I don't get the discount. Not till I've done my probation.'
'There you go. Another reason to stick at it. Saves an eff-ton of money for me and Queenie.'
'My mum.'
'Queenie! What do you call her that for?'
'Revenge. She called me Beatrice after the princess. Minging name. So I call her Queenie. Trouble is, she likes it.'
'Ha! Mine's just as bad. With her it was Tony Blair.'
'I'm Anthony, after Tony Blair. Things could only get better in 1997. Apparently.'
Bea started to laugh. 'Parents. What are they like?'
'Saddos with no imagination?' Ant was laughing now too.
'Anthony and Beatrice,' he said, shaking his head. 'Fuckin' 'ell.'
He held his hand up and, rather to her surprise, Bea found herself high-fiving him.
The door behind them blasted open.
'Anthony! What are you doing out here?'
A man stood in the doorway, almost filling it – the boss himself, Gavin. His white shirtsleeves were rolled up. One of his buttons had come undone revealing a swell of pale hairy flesh between the bottom of his tie and the top of his belt.
'We've been looking for you. You're needed inside. Eileen's going to show you how to stock the freezers.'
Ant looked at Bea and raised his eyebrows.
'I'm needed,' he said. 'Hate to tear myself away.'
'Come on! Chop, chop! I'm giving you a chance here. First day. A new start. Don't mess it up.'
Ant peeled himself from the wall and disappeared inside. Bea stayed in the yard for a few minutes more then went up to the staffroom. The rest of her shift dragged a little. There was the usual lull after lunch. Things picked up a bit around the end of the school day, with parents popping in to pick up some things for tea and kids doing their sweet and crisp run. At five o'clock, she handed over to Marcus gratefully. He was student at the university nearby and, like several others, he did three or four evening and weekend shifts to supplement his student loan.
'All right?' he said, as she logged out of the till.
'Yeah,' she said.
He sat down and started getting comfortable. His glasses slipped down his nose when he bent sideways to adjust the chair.
'Did you see the paper today?' he said, pushing his glasses up again.
'Something or nothing, I reckon,' said Bea.
'I dunno, I know one of the girls that got followed. You take care, okay?'
'I'm okay. I can look after myself,' said Bea. 'But thanks.'
She headed towards the back of the store. She'd pick up tea for her and Queenie on the way out, after she'd got changed. Wednesday today, so it was chicken and vegetable rice. Queenie liked routine. She fetched her handbag and coat from the ladies' locker room and went into the staffroom. Ginny, another checkout worker about Bea's age, was on her way out.
'New boy's in there,' she said to Bea. She rolled her eyes. 'He's in a bit of a mood.'
'Ha! First day blues,' said Bea. 'I think he's all right really.'
Ant was standing near the kitchen area, stripping off his branded polo shirt.
'Oi!' said Bea. 'Not in here. Go in the men's.'
'I don't want to be in this thing another minute,' he said. 'I hate chuffing uniforms.' He balled up the shirt and threw it into a corner. His body was so skinny Bea could see each one of his ribs. If I ran my fingernail up and down, he'd make a noise like a xylophone, she thought, although she had no desire to actually touch him. He caught her looking, though, and the grin was back. She did her coat up. Now he was perched on the edge of the one of the old beaten-up armchairs, watching her as he rummaged around in his pocket, apparently readjusting his groin.
'God! Stop it. There's ladies present, you know.'
He grinned. 'Unexpected item in bagging area.'
Bea gave him a withering look. 'Nobody's interested in your bagging area. Nobody.'
His grin remained.
'They're queuing up, girl. Join the back, if you want. I reckon that Ginny girl's interested for starters.'
Bea opened her mouth and stuck her fingers in making a retching noise. 'In your dreams,' she said. 'Seriously, take your hands out of your pocket or I'll report you.'
Ant sighed and reluctantly complied. As he brought his hand out, something fell onto the hard floor with a light,
tinkling sound.
'What's that?' Bea asked.
'Nothing.' He moved his foot quickly, trapping something underneath.
'What's under your foot?'
She walked nearer to him.
'Nothing.' He tried to look at her, brazen it out, but couldn't meet her steely gaze.
'So move it.'
She folded her arms across her ample chest. She could easily take him in a fight, or at least barge him away from whatever he was guarding, but then she'd have to actually make contact with him and, well, you didn't know where he'd been. No, she'd wait it out.
'Are you just going to stand there?' he asked.
He moved his foot a few inches to the side to reveal a gold ring lying on the floor. They both swooped down to grab it and their heads clashed spectacularly. Bea ended up planting her bottom firmly on the floor, feet flying out. She went rolling backwards, like an upended turtle. Ant managed to put his hands down to stop himself and while Bea was righting herself, he picked up the ring.
'You little bugger—'
'What on earth—?'
Ears still ringing, Bea looked up to find Dot looking down at them both.
'We don't normally do the initiation ceremony until
the second week,' she said. 'You're getting a bit ahead of yourselves. And why's he still got his trousers on? You're not doing it properly.'
She held out a hand to Bea and helped her up.
'Ha, ha. Very funny. We just . . . I just . . . bumped,' Bea said, dusting herself down. She was annoyed to see a big ladder in her tights.
'Hmm. Play nicely, you two.' She turned to Ant. 'You're coming back tomorrow, then? Don't let her frighten you off.'
Ant was rubbing his head.
'Yeah, I guess. I'm not a quitter.'
He and Bea exchanged looks. She watched him pocket the ring again. He put on a T-shirt, picked up his uniform from where he'd thrown it and sauntered out of the staffroom.
'Wait!' she said. 'Sorry, Dot. See you tomorrow.' She gathered up her bag and went after him. He was rounding
the corner of the building when she got out of the staff exit.
'Ant! Wait!' He showed no sign of having heard her.
'Goddamn it.' She was going to have to run, something she avoided in the normal course of events. Huffing and puffing, she caught up with him halfway across the car park. She reached forward and tapped him on the shoulder.
'Didn't you hear me?'
He unplugged one earphone.
'Animal magnetism,' he said, grinning. 'Pheromones or something.'
'It's not you I want, Romeo, it's that wedding ring.'
'Bea, I like you and that. You've been a laugh today, but we've only just met—'
'I think I know whose it is.'
He kept walking.
'Yeah, so do I. Mine.'
'It's not yours, though, is it? Is it?'
She jabbed her finger into his arm. He stopped walking and turned to face her.
'It's my grandma's, okay?' he said. 'I keep it with me. It's sentimental.'
Wrong-footed, she wondered fleetingly if he was telling the truth. But this was Ant, wasn't it? Expelled from school. In and out of trouble before and since.
'That's really nice,' she said. 'Do you mind showing me?'
He pulled a face, but fished it out and held it in the middle of his palm.
'Can I—?' She picked it up and inspected it. On the outside it was a plain gold band, but there was some writing inside. 'So when exactly did your grandma get married?'
Ant shuffled his feet.
'1970?' he guessed wildly.
'You asking me or telling?'
'So not the twenty-first of June 2008 then? Like the person whose ring this is.'
He puffed out his cheeks and blew out some air.
'Okay. It's not my grandma's. I found it. So it's mine. Finders keepers.'
'Where was it?'
'In one of the freezers. Eileen made me get all the chickens from the bottom, and then put in some new ones and put the old ones on top. I nearly got chuffing frostbite.'
'You were wearing gloves, weren't you?'
'Stop whining then. And the ring was in with the chickens?'
'Yeah. It had dropped down and was wedged in a layer of ice.'
Bea closed her hand around it. 'The woman who dropped the brown sauce told me she'd lost her ring. She was so upset. I bet it's hers. I'll hand it in to Big Gav first thing tomorrow.'
His face darkened. 'Na-ah. I found it. It's mine. I could get twenty, well, a tenner for it down the Prospect. Give it here.' He held his hand out and beckoned to her with his fingers.
'No way. It's not yours. You can't sell it.'
'Do you know what they're paying me for this so-called great opportunity? Less than minimum wage.'
'It is an opportunity. Who else is going to give you a job round here? If you're good enough, they'll keep you on. Think about it. What's the alternative?'
'You sound like a probation worker. I was starting to like you, too. Thought we could have a laugh.'
Bea put the hand holding the ring into her pocket and clasped the strap of her bag with the other, pulling it into her body.
'Yeah, so did I, but I don't "have a laugh" with tea leaves.'
He looked at the ground and kicked at some loose stones.
'You're just like everyone else, after all. Labelling me. Writing me off. I'm not a thief.'
'That's a matter of opinion.'
She sniffed hard and stalked off in the opposite direction. She reached the main road and pressed the button at the crossing. A gust of wind caught the back of her neck. She shivered and turned up the collar of her coat. The traffic lights showed amber and then red. The green man at the crossing control lit up, but Bea stayed where she was. The driver of the car which had stopped for the lights sounded the horn. Bea glanced up and saw him gesticulating, palms up. He was mouthing something. Bea just shook her head, turned around and started running again.
She guessed that Ant lived somewhere on the ex-council estate, near the school. She jogged down an alleyway which led off the High Street and into the heart of the estate. She hadn't been this way for years – the alley was longer than she remembered.
About halfway along, she saw something blocking the light ahead. A figure, a man, was walking towards her. She felt a familiar frisson of alarm, made sharper by the words 'Kingsleigh Stalker' which were fresh in her mind. She checked behind her. It was as far to go back now as it was to press on. Why should she turn back? She had a right to be here. And this was just a bloke going for a walk. She shouldn't assume that all men were potential attackers.
As he got closer she could see that there was something walking alongside him, a dog of some sort, and she relaxed. A dog walker wasn't nearly as threatening as a man on his own.
She held her head up and kept walking. Everything was fine. A few metres away from her, the dog started barking and straining on its short leash. Bea stopped in her tracks. She could see now that its owner was only a lad, younger than her. He struggled to get the dog under control, swearing at it, and eventually gripping its studded collar and hauling the dog close to his legs.
''S okay,' he said. 'You can go past. He won't hurt yer.'
She skirted past them and jogged to the end of the alley. She decided to go left, rounded a corner and almost ran smack into Ant. He put his hands out to ward her off and ended up holding her shoulders.
'You again,' he said. 'This is getting silly. You're starting to creep me out.'
Bea needed a few moments to get her breath back. She stood in his arms-length embrace puffing and panting, mouth gasping like a fish out of water.
'Here,' she said, eventually. She held the ring between her thumb and index finger.
Ant let go of her.
'What are you doing?'
'Take it,' she said.
Slowly, he reached forward. His fingers pinched the other side of the ring, but Bea didn't let go. He pulled a little harder. So did she.
'I'm not like everyone else,' she said. A little rivulet of sweat trickled down the side of her face.
'No, okay. No offence meant.'
'So I'm giving this to you and I'm trusting you to do the right thing.'
'Take it back to work? Hand it in?' He blew out through his mouth, making a raspberry with his lips. A fine spray of spit reached Bea's face. She didn't flinch.
'Take it back to work,' she said, steadily. 'Hand it in. I trust you. I'm not like everyone else and neither are you.'
She let go of the ring.
'Goodnight, Ant. See you tomorrow.'
She turned around and started walking back towards the alley. When she was sure she was out of view, she extracted her hanky from up her sleeve and rubbed her face until it hurt.
Bea spent a restless night. As she tried to drop off to sleep she was haunted by her stupid impulsive behaviour. She had had Julie's ring in her hand and she gave it away! To Ant! What was she thinking? Let's face it, he wouldn't be back at work tomorrow, so then what would she do? Find out where he lived and go and see him? Plead with him? Buy the ring back herself? And what if he'd already got rid of it?
She tossed and turned, and when she finally drifted off, her sleep was tormented by twisted hobbity nightmares – a gold ring, dragons, dwarves, freezers and mops. She woke up at half past five in a hot sweat. As her eyes flicked open she remembered what she'd done.
'Stupid. Stupid. Stupid,' she said out loud, then looked at
her alarm clock and groaned, and however much she tried
she couldn't get to sleep again.
'You all right, love?' Queenie asked as Bea shuffled into the kitchen at quarter past seven. She'd set the table for breakfast like she did every day: boxes of cereal in a neat row, milk in a jug, bowls, plates, spoons and knives at the ready. 'Reckon you're a bit out of sorts, what with forgetting the rice yesterday, and now not sleeping. I heard you get up and go to the bathroom this morning. What was it? Five o'clock?'
Bea sighed. She loved her mum, but despite all the evidence over the years, Queenie had yet to grasp that Bea wasn't a morning person. What bliss it would be not to have to talk at least until after her first cup of tea. All she could manage today was a sort of grunt as she sat down opposite her and reached for the Rice Krispies.
Later, as she walked to work, she felt a twinge of guilt. Her mum probably wouldn't talk to anyone else until she
came back from the supermarket in the evening. She should have made more effort. She'd try harder tomorrow.
In the staff loos Bea leaned close to the mirror. Her golden rule for bad mornings was to dab a good layer of concealer under her eyes, make the eyeliner thicker, add a jaunty flick at the corners and stick on bigger lashes. Despite the little pink veins sullying the whites of her eyes, she wasn't looking half as bad as she felt.
A cistern flushed behind her and one of the cubicle doors opened. Dot emerged, looking immaculate as ever – her uniform crisp, her hair lacquered to perfection, her nails glossy and red.
Bea had a sudden flash of insight that she was looking at her future. She wouldn't mind looking that good at
fifty-eight, but did she still want to be at Costsave?
'Rough night, doll?' said Dot.
'How can you tell? Do I look minging?'
'No, you look lush as ever, but you've got your megalashes on. I know you.'
'Yeah. Thank God for these babies.'
Dot washed her hands, then joined Bea at the mirror.
'You all right?'
'Yeah. Just couldn't sleep. The thing is, I did something yesterday—' She stopped. What was the point of telling her?
The ring was gone, wasn't it?
'Nothing. Doesn't matter.'
They walked into the staffroom.
'No sign of Ant, then,' Bea said morosely. 'What did I tell you?'
Dot tilted her head towards the corridor.
'He's in with Gav,' she said. 'Turned up five minutes before you did.'
Bea looked at her.
'Close your mouth, love,' said Dot, with a little smile of triumph. 'Slack-jawed isn't a good look on anyone.'
She checked her watch. 'Time we weren't here. Ready for another day in paradise?'
They made their way onto the shop floor with everyone else. Even though it felt like she'd been here forever, even though it was a middle-of-the-range supermarket not Harrods, even though the first customer through the door would be Smelly Reg here to buy his Racing Post and a packet of fags like he always did, Bea still felt a tingle of anticipation in the minutes before the store opened. She made herself comfortable at checkout six, adjusted the chair back to where it should be, punched her ID into the screen and put on some hand cream. Beside her, Dot stretched out her arms and wiggled her fingers like a concert pianist
preparing for bravura performance.
'All right, Gav?' Bea called out to their manager as he bustled along the row of tills towards the front door, a
bundle of keys jangling at his waistband. He always liked to do the unlocking himself.
He winced visibly. 'Mr Howells, please, Beatrice. You know the rules.'
'Yes, Mr Howells. Sorry, Mr Howells.'
Dot raised her eyebrows and wagged a finger at Bea. 'Youth of today. No respect.' She winked.
Bea spotted Ant at the far end of the aisle opposite her. He appeared briefly, pushing his cleaning trolley towards the fresh veg section. He wasn't shuffling today. There was something jaunty about the way he was moving – it was almost a swagger. He glanced in her direction. She was embarrassed to be caught looking, but he grinned and gave her the thumbs up. Bea shook her head, smiling. He'd done it, then. Good for him.
The morning started slowly. Bea had a few of her regulars through – the ones that looked out for her and came to her checkout even if there wasn't a queue at one of the others. She liked to think of it as building a fan base. A smile here, a compliment there, went a long way. Some of the over-sixties liked to flirt with her. She didn't mind it up to a point, encouraged it even. It all helped to make the day pass more pleasantly.
She didn't see Julie until nearly lunchtime. She was pushing Tiffany in her pushchair with Mason trotting along
beside her, trying to keep up as she powered up and down the aisles putting a few bits and bobs into a basket. Bea lit up her checkout number to summon the floor manager. It was Neville again today, clipboard clasped firmly, biro at the ready.
'The woman with the pushchair and the little boy, the one in the leather jacket—'
'She lost her wedding ring, but Ant found it and gave it to Ga— to Mr Howells. Can you go and tell her?'
'Yes. Right.'
Julie was walking rapidly away from them. Neville ducked down the next aisle aiming to intercept her at the other end. Bea leaned sideways as far as she could, but she couldn't see what happened next. A couple of minutes later there was an announcement over the tannoy.
'Cleaner to management suite. Cleaner, Anthony, to the management suite, please.'
At lunchtime, Bea found Ant in the yard again. It wasn't drizzling today, but there was a cold wind whistling through the metal gates.
'You on your break too?' she said.
'Yeah. No. Bit of a nicotine top-up.'
She didn't bother pointing out the sign again.
'You brought it back then?'
'She was dead chuffed, you know. I could see when she came out of Big Gav's office. You did a good thing there.'
There was a pause, then, 'So did you. You made me think.'
'You made me think what it would be like to be her. To lose something that means so much to you. Ach, sounds soft when you say it out loud.' He couldn't meet her eye, and instead looked at the ground and scuffed his toes in the gravel.
Bea looked down too. She was wondering what it would feel like to love someone so much you'd want to wear their ring. She wondered if it would ever happen to her.
'Mr Howells was well pleased,' said Ant. 'Treated me like some sort of hero.'
'Good. That's nice. You can't call him that, though,' said Bea. 'Everyone calls him Gav to his face, Big Gav behind his back. It's the rules.'
Ant grinned. 'I like those sort of rules. They're the sort I can sign up to.'
He held his hand up and, again, Bea found her hand moving to meet his.
The door to the store was open. The sound of the tannoy drifted out. 'Cleaning team to aisle four. Cleaning team to aisle four.'
'Uh-oh,' said Bea. 'That's not good.'
'What do you mean?'
'It's code. "Cleaner" is food spillage. "Cleaning team" is something biological – urine, vomit, and if you're very
unlucky, poo.'
'You're kidding?' He searched her face, looking for telltale signs of a wind-up. Finding none, his shoulders sagged. 'Oh crap.'
'Very likely, mate. Welcome to paradise, Ant.'

Monkee Genes
In 2006 Monkee Genes was born, launching a small denim collection built to offer something fresh to an already saturated and disposable denim market. The team set out to dispel the myth that sustainable fashion was dull and expensive. Since then the brand has grown into an ethical fashion destination, offering a whole range of innovative fits as well as an original apparel collection produced ethically and sustainably. Fast-forward to autumn 2018, the new collection promotes a growing range of organic jeans and ethical fashion which caters to all tastes and budgets. The new 'Eco Wash' collection brings excitement to our skinny jean collection with original washes and much more competitive pricing. We have also introduced two new styles, The Libby and the Jack. Alongside the new stuff, we have our staple denim range offering all fits from super-skinny to super wide (check out our 'Skate' collection). Not forgetting our bestseller, the humble Chino Pant, now available in seven different colours. "Monkee Genes was created to bring out true rhythm from your natural sensitivity. We achieve this by using carefully sourced fabrics made by people who care because they are being cared for! The Monkee Genes design, when all the ingredients are added in, evolves into a piece of clothing which you can't wait to put back on. Looking after your body and soul; this is the natural evolution of jeanswear, this is Monkee Genes!" As a part of our ethical fashion manifesto and mantra, we work hard to protect the people who make our clothes. We work with factories that provide safe working conditions and provide a decent living wage. 'No slave labour, no child labour, no blood, no sweat, no tears.' monkeegenes.com
