If you think life is wonderful and expect it to stay that way,then you may have a good chance of living to a ripe old age,at least that is what the findings of a new study suggest.That study found that participants who reported the highest levels of optimism were far more likely to live to age85or26.This was compared to those participants who reported the lowest levels of optimism.It is27that the findings held even after the researchers considered factors that could28the link,including whether participants had health conditions,such as heart disease or cancer,or whether they experienced depression.The results add to a growing body of evidence that certain psychological factors may predict a longer life29.For example,

No one in fashion is surprised that Burberry burnt£28million of stock
[A]Last week,Burberry's annual report revealed that£28.6million worth of stock was burnt last year.The news has left investors and consumers outraged but comes as little surprise to those in the fashion industry.
[B]The practice of destroying unsold stock,and even rolls of unused fabric,is commonplace for luxury labels. Becoming too widely available at a cheaper price through discount stores discourages full-price sales.Sending products for recycling leaves them vulnerable to being stolen and sold on the bl
ack market.Jasmine Bina,CEO of brand strategy agency Concept Bureau explains,"Typically,luxury brands rally around exclusivity to protect their business interests,namely intellectual property and preservation of brand equity(资产)She stated she had heard rumors of stock burning but not specific cases until this week.
[C]Another reason for the commonplace practice is a financial incentive for brands exporting goods to America.United States Customs states that if imported merchandise is unused and destroyed under their supervision,99%of the duties,taxes or fees paid on the merchandise may be recovered.It is incredibly difficult to calculate how much dead stock currently goes to waste.While there are incentives to do it,there's no legal obligation to report it.
[D]A source,who chose to remain anonymous,shared her experience working in a Burberry store in New York in October2016."My job was to toss items in boxes so they could be sent to be burned.It was killing me inside because all that leather and fur went to waste and animals had died for nothing.I couldn't stay there any longer,their business practices threw me off the roof.''In May this year,Burberry announced it was taking fur out of its catwalk shows and reviewing its use elsewhere in the business."Even though we asked the management,they refused to give us detailed answers as to why they would do this with their collection," continued the source,who left her role within two w
eeks.She has since worked with another high-profile,luxury label.
[E]In an online forum post,which asked if it's true that Louis Vuitton burned its bags,Ahmed Bouchfaa.who claimed to work for Louis Vuitton,responded that the brand holds sales of old stock for staff members twice a year.Items which have still not sold after several sales are destroyed."Louis Vuitton doesn't have public sales. They either sell a product at a given price or discontinue it.This is to make sure that everybody pays the same price for an item,"he says.He goes on to disclose the strict guidelines around the employee sales:"You may buy gifts for someone,but they track each item,and if your gift ends up online they know who to ask.''One investor commenting on the Burberry figures was reportedly outraged that the unsold goods were not even offered to investors before they were destroyed.
[F]Richemont,who owns several luxury brands,hit the headlines in May for taking back£437million of watches fbr destruction in the last two years to avoid marked-down prices.It's not just luxury brands either.In October last year,a Danish TV show exposed H&M for burning12tonnes of unsold clothing since2013.In a statement,the high street retailer defended itself by saying that the burnt clothing had failed safety tests:1'The products to which the media are referring have been tested in external laboratories,the test results show that one of the products is mold infested and the other product con
tains levels of lead that are too high.Those products have rightly been stopped in accordance with our safety routines.''In March,a report revealed that H&M was struggling with$4.3billion worth of unsold stock.The brand told The New York Times that the plan was to reduce prices to move the stock,arguably encouraging consumers to buy and throw away with little thought.
[G]Over-production is perhaps the biggest concern for Burberry.While there has been much outrage at the elitist connotation of burning goods rather than making them affordable,executives at the British fashion house are no doubt struggling to defend how they miscalculated production?The waste has been put down to burning old cosmetic stock to make way for their new beauty range.However,while the value of destroyed stock is up from£26.9million last year,it's an even more significant increase from2016's figure of£18.8million, highlighting that this is an ongoing issue.
