![]() West adds, “Or that it’s for a certain economic class, or it’s dirty. Or it’s only for costumes or to be funny,” says Vienne. “People think it’s only old, out-of-style clothing. There’s just so much good stuff out there already,” says West.Even though thrifting’s popularity is growing, there are still misconceptions. That was a big appeal of the business model because it made us feel we were making a difference… We’re reselling stuff that’s already been bought the first time, so the initial impact on the environment is done. “It’s our philosophy that day to day we have an emphasis on reusing and sustainability. Like many of their customers, Vienne and West consider the ecological benefits of thrifting a major plus. “And some people are looking for stuff that’s hard to find, like recent stuff from stores that doesn’t exist in Edmonton anymore or an independent brand from a shop in a bigger centre, like Vancouver.” ![]() “Sustainable fashion is becoming more and more of a thing,” adds Vienne. Like with Instagram, it’s all about showing something unique, a trophy,” says West. There’s also the thrill of the hunt… Social media really promotes that. With what’s been going on lately, I think people are more interested in stretching their dollars. Vienne and West say their customers range in age from twentysomethings to sixtysomethings and choose to shop second hand for varying reasons. Vienne adds, “We look for funky, slightly edgier stuff and not so much business suits… We’re more for the everyday fashionista.” It’s not like going to a new store, and it’s not like going to Goodwill,” says West. They curate carefully and pre-sort the pieces that make it into the store. They look for hard-to-find, independent labels in favour of well-known brands. ![]() ![]() When the duo took over the shop four years ago, they set out to create a new concept in consignment and thrifting. “It’s not stigmatized the way that it was before-it’s almost like a badge of honour like, hey, I found something unique, and I got a deal.” “Thrifting has become more mainstream,” says Vienne. Vienne and West have been in the consignment business together since they bought Red Pony (formerly Robes and Relics) in the spring of 2011. The couple owns Red Pony Consignment, a 900-square-foot boutique in the Garneau neighborhood that sells previously owned women’s and men’s clothing and accessories. Whether we credit the thrill of the find, the unbeatable deals, Instagram envy or the environmental benefits, there’s no doubt that thrifting is trending in Edmonton. It seems everyone from students and soccer moms to fashion bloggers and personal stylists are poppin’ tags at local thrift shops-and they’re proud of it. Recycled, upcycled, vintage or nearly new, these days second-hand is getting a well-deserved second look. Gone Thrifting! Trend meets philosophy at Red Pony Consignment ![]()

![]() ![]() Since the stamp duty in Pune is 5% of the property value, Antara will be paying Rs.10,69,000 as stamp duty.The registration charges for properties above Rs.30 lakh is Rs.30,000, so Antara will be paying that too. Property value = Carpet area x rate per square metre Calculation of the overall value of the property would be: The property has a circle rate of Rs.42,760 per metre in the area that it is located in. Here is an example that will illustrate the calculation of stamp duty and registration charges in Pune:Īntara buys a home with a carpet area of 500 square metres. Besides this, the stamp duty charge also depends if a property is old or new. Any delayed payments will have 2% as a penalty every month. The central government of India fixes the registration and stamp duty charges. The calculation of stamp duty is not the same for all places in India. It is usually levied so that the cost to run the registration offices can be covered by the state government. The registration charge is an extra tax on the stamp duty. The ready reckoner rate refers to the minimum rate, which the government notifies via a registrar/sub-registrar office of Pune for registering the property transactions. In simple terms, any type of property document is only legal when the stamp duty is paid. A stamp paper that has to be bought either in the seller’s name or the buyer’s name is valid for six months, given that the stamp duty is paid on time.

Why the Oscars ignore the best films of the year.The Aftermath: ‘A mildly engaging trifle’.Captain Marvel may be good enough to satisfy the series’ built-in audience, but might disappoint anyone expecting more. Larson fits seamlessly into the world of the Avengers, which means leaping into space and sending blue beams of energy from her fists. It is an action movie shaped by the Marvel cookie cutter, with perfectly adequate but unsurprising special effects. ![]() That opening sets up the film’s otherworldliness, its personal mystery – what is happening in that memory? – and above all, its action.Īn avalanche of publicity has touted the first female superhero to carry a Marvel film, but this is not the women’s empowerment story the orchestrated hype claims. She actually has an inner glow, bright light shining out from her hands. Larson’s character, who has not yet become Captain Marvel, wakes from this memory in the form of a dream, but her real life is even stranger. There’s a glimpse of Annette Bening holding a gun. And - similar to Ted Lasso's - the movie's overall messages of kindness, nonviolence, and free choice are always refreshing.A slow-motion explosion in a barren landscape sends Brie Larson flying to the ground, blue blood running from her nose. Perhaps all that wasn't necessary, however, to maintain the movie's sweetness. And Levy's careful, streamlined flow prevents Free Guy from ever becoming hugely outrageous, zany, or gut-bustingly funny. But bits and pieces do feel borrowed from many, many other movies. The movie's visual effects and production design effectively capture the specific feel of a Grand Theft Auto-like video game (albeit PG-13 rated), which is something most movies have so far failed to achieve. Comer is also quite wonderful: Molotov Girl/Millie is a fully fleshed-out female co-lead rather than simply a romantic sidekick. He avoids a repeat of his snarky, look-at-me Deadpool humor and nails a new kind of sweet naivete that's not unlike that of Will Ferrell in Elf or Jim Carrey in The Truman Show. Reynolds is the real selling point of Free Guy.

![]() Dr Grief had them killed before they could close the school and ruin his plans.The big culmination to the season 1 finale is an epic Alex Rider versus Alex Rider showdown – of course, ones a brilliant teen spy and the other is a fascist clone.Ĭlone Alex infiltrates the school dance and takes Tom hostage, giving him a savage beating with a metal pole in the process. The men who died started questioning their sons’ strange behavior, although it’s not clear if they worked out the truth. He targets billionaires because he expects their sons will end up in positions of power, and this will allow him to achieve global domination. Alex learns that Dr Grief controls the boys so that he can one day take over the world. However, Dr Grief catches them and takes them prisoner first. Alex reveals the truth about who he is and together he and other boys hatch a plan. ![]() The real James, who Alex originally met, is locked up in a basement prison. The next day, Alex discovers that the James he’s seeing now is not the real James but is a clone. They’ll move in as soon as he gets more concrete information. They tell him to keep his distance from James but see what else he can find out. MI6, however, needs more than this to act. He covertly contacts MI6 and tells them of his concerns. Alex finds this very strange-it’s like James has been brainwashed. When he next speaks to James, he discovers that he doesn’t want to escape anymore, and he’s really enjoying his time at the school. Meanwhile, Alex sees someone punishing James, but he can’t do anything about it. Alex must figure out a way to get the information he needs before James gets suspicious of him. He doesn’t want to stay at the school anymore, because he doesn’t want to become like the other boys. However, instead of helping Alex investigate, James decides he wants to escape and flee the country. This intrigues Alex, and he knows that MI6 is onto something after all. He’s convinced there’s something odd about the school, because all the boys go from being rebellious to saintly almost overnight. The only boy Alex befriends is called James. The point is to identify any reason why fathers of these schoolboys are targeted. Meanwhile, Alex must also make friends so that he can learn more about the boys and what’s going on at the school. MI6 doesn’t want the teachers knowing about his cover in case they’re implicated in the murders. He must tell Dr Grief and other teachers about his supposedly bad behavior and why he’s at the school in the first place. Once the week’s over, MI6 has Alex escorted to the school known as Point Blank. He’s going undercover as the son of a supermarket mogul called David Friend, and he needs to know his cover story inside-out. MI6 assigns him a family to shadow for a week so that he learns how to fit in with billionaires. Besides, he’s scared of MI6 and doesn’t feel like he can say no to them. Alex doesn’t want to go there, but he feels he owes it to his uncle to continue his work. This school, run by a South African scientist, Dr Grief, rehabilitates “problem” children of the rich and famous. The only evidence of a link, though, is that they both have sons attending a special school in the French Alps. Shortly afterwards, another billionaire dies in suspicious circumstances, and MI6 believe the murders are linked. An assassin, known as The Gentleman, murders a well-known American electronics billionaire in an elevator shaft. However, MI6 shortly needs Alex’s help once again. He’s struggling to keep his unusual job secret from his friends, and he’s not sure he wants to help them forever. Now, Alex works for MI6 in his uncle’s place whenever they need his help. Alex discovered that his uncle worked for MI6, which is an elite British spy organization. His uncle, who raised him, died in a car crash before the series begins.
