Viral Penneys designer dupe is back on our shelves for 2025
Penney's most viral accessory is back and better than ever. Last summer the fashion retailer released vibrant, beaded statement bags that caused a major stir among fashion lovers online. Likened to the high-end Staud bags, the highly sought after pieces are back for 2025 and are the perfect staple for your summer wardrobe. Penney's most viral accessory is back and better than ever. Pic: Primark Cardiff Best of all, they come with a budget-friendly price tag of just €18, a staggering difference from Staud's €345 offering. Irish fashion influencer Lauren Arthurs (@laurenarthurs_) took to TikTok to share the find, delighted to see the bags back on our shelves. 'Guys, I was on a mission to find these bags in Primark and they are absolutely stunning,' she said in the clip. 'They're €18 (£16). You've got the orange and white one with shellfish, and then the lemon one — so pretty. I'm absolutely taking both. They're just so stunning.' In her video caption, she added: 'Could not be more obsessed,' with many echoing her sentiment. The video quickly amassed over 400,000 views, meaning these bags are likely to fly off the shelves. Naturally, shoppers are now rushing to their nearest store to nab one, will you?

DENSO Manufacturing Tennessee, Inc., Team Members Earn CADIA Impact Award for Initiative Supporting New Mothers
Christine Gray and Haley Penney led project to establish and standardize lactation rooms across campus facilities, increasing access to comfortable and secure spaces for working moms SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CADIA, an organization dedicated to driving opportunities for all in the automotive industry, has awarded Christine Gray and Haley Penney of DENSO Manufacturing Tennessee, Inc. (DMTN), in Maryville with a 2025 CADIA Impact Award. They earned their honor in the Systemic Change category. Gray, an electrical controls engineer, and Penney, a quality engineer, were recognized for their efforts to establish and standardize several lactation rooms across DMTN's expansive campus, helping ensure that working moms at the location have equal access to secure spaces that help them perform their role as caregivers while balancing their careers. "This started as a grassroots effort within our facility to meet the needs of our team members, and we recognized our ability to improve accommodations and contribute to a more inclusive culture," Gray said. "The project began with a request for one room in the Electrification Systems Division but quickly grew into a campus-wide initiative as we recognized the broader need." In December 2022, Gray and Penney began working with fellow members of the DENSO Women's Associate Resource Group and site leaders to evaluate how they could better support new mothers. Over time, they identified spaces that could be converted into lactation rooms and developed common standards for each that would provide team members with private, comfortable and safe experiences. One particularly innovative feature of this activity was the two-in-one design concept of each room, which separated milk storage and retrieval spaces, helping mothers maintain privacy and avoid disruptions during the pumping process. Today, DMTN has four lactation rooms across its campus, with two more expected to open this fall. Once complete, there will be at least one lactation room in each building that houses manufacturing or office spaces on the DMTN campus. "We've come a long way in this effort, and while there's still more to do, we appreciate all the collaboration and support we've gotten from various departments and site leaders," said Penney. "To be recognized by CADIA is very meaningful, but working together, we'll continue to do all we can to support working moms." In addition to this project, through their roles in the DENSO Women's Associate Resource Group, Gray and Penney are also active in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities aimed at encouraging local students to explore technical fields. CADIA gives the Systematic Change Award each year to an individual, team or organization that breaks down systemic bias and addresses organizational barriers to inclusion and equity in the workplace as part of its annual CADIA Impact Awards. Gray accepted the award on behalf of Penney and herself during a May 21 award ceremony in Troy, Michigan. "DENSO strives to be a place where all can succeed," said Chuntao Ye, president of DMTN and leader of the North America Peace of Mind Business Group at DENSO. "To do that, we must work to help people of all backgrounds feel welcomed, valued, respected and heard. Christine and Haley embody these values, and we are so appreciative of their efforts." Victoria White of DENSO Manufacturing Athens Tennessee, Inc., won a CADIA Impact award for Creating Inclusive Cultures in 2022 and former DENSO Manufacturing Michigan, Inc., team member Christina Khim earned runner up honors in 2023.

Another blow for Crusaders as two key tight forwards sidelined
The Crusaders, still reeling from Will Jordan's knee injury, have suffered two more blows this week. Injuries have side-lined lock Scott Barrett (finger) and prop Fletcher Newell (Achilles). It means Rob Penney's men will travel to Sydney to play the Waratahs on Friday without two of their best tight forwards — with both expected to be out for between one and two weeks. Barrett, the All Blacks captain, has spoken about his form struggles this year but has clearly been working hard, while Newell's scrummaging has been hugely important for the Crusaders and he showed a surprising turn of pace to almost haul down Leroy Carter on Saturday after the Chiefs' sevens star broke away. The injury misfortune with three regular season games remaining may represent a feeling of déjà vu for head coach Penney. The Crusaders suffered some terrible luck last season, his first in charge, including the absence for the season of main strike weapon Jordan, and they finished outside the playoffs with only four victories in total. This year the casualty list has been far shorter which has helped the team's quality and consistency – to the point where they are in third place with a real hope of hosting a quarter-final. Penney said this week he hopes to get Jordan back from his medial cruciate ligament injury for the quarter-final (on the assumption the Crusaders make it). Jordan suffered the injury during his team's 35-19 defeat to the Chiefs in Christchurch at the weekend, a departure which coincided with a collapse from his team after they looked very much in control when leading 19-10 at halftime. Penney, speaking to the media yesterday before the injuries to Barrett and Newell were revealed, was asked about Jordan's importance to the team. 'It highlights again his absence last year – it was massive," Penney said. 'Any team he plays with he offers such great voice and confidence to those around him. His leadership and rugby IQ is right up there. Any team would miss having him out there and we certainly did.' Better news for the Crusaders, who face Moana Pasifika at home and Brumbies in Canberra to round out their regular season, includes the returns from injury of hooker George Bell and lock Quinten Strange. The Waratahs, outside the playoff zone in eighth with five wins in 11 matches, represent a bogey team for Penney, their former coach. He was let go by the franchise after two difficult seasons but any hope of revenge on his return to Sydney last year was dashed by a dropped goal in extra-time as the Waratahs won a thriller 43-40. 'It's not about me,' he said when asked about the revenge factor. 'I just want the boys to do well and have success.' The high-flying Chiefs have a bye this week but three other New Zealand-based franchises the Blues, Hurricanes and Moana Pasifika all have a chance to climb the points table. The Hurricanes, without wing Kini Naholo for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, host the Highlanders on Friday and Moana Pasifika host the Blues in a cross-town derby on Saturday night. Wing Caleb Clarke returns to start for the Blues after a four-week absence due to a thigh injury. The fifth-placed Blues host the Waratahs in their final regular season match, with the Hurricanes, sixth, still to play the Reds and Moana Pasifika.

Rugby-'Grumpy old b*****' Penney focused on Crusaders, not contract
(Reuters) -Canterbury Crusaders coach Rob Penney has put aside contract talks with club management to focus on the team's run to the Super Rugby Pacific playoffs, chief executive Colin Mansbridge said. The Crusaders are second on the table ahead of Saturday's away clash against the Otago Highlanders, a stunning revival after finishing ninth in Penney's difficult first season in charge last year. Penney's two-year contract is set to expire at the end of this season but he is in no hurry to talk about extending, Mansbridge said. "Whenever you're dropping hints or trying to talk about it, he's just saying 'let's get through this season'," Mansbridge told the New Zealand Herald. "He is laser-focused on this team, this year. He doesn't want any distractions in his way." Having replaced Scott Robertson, who delivered seven championship trophies in seven years at the Crusaders, Penney struggled with the loss of key players to injuries and overseas contracts in 2024. With fans up in arms and media pundits demanding change as the losses piled up, Crusaders management came under huge pressure to sack Penney. But Mansbridge publicly backed the coach to turn things around, and Penney survived an end-of-season review to put the Crusaders back in championship contention six weeks out from the playoffs. Mansbridge said he was "stoked" for Penney, who had carried a heavy burden to lift the team. "When he's seeing people struggle, that impacts him," Mansbridge said. "He's much more sensitive than the grumpy old b***** you see sometimes." (Reporting by Ian Ransom in Melbourne; Editing by Gerry Doyle)
