The US Will Participate In Military Exercises Near The Eastern Border Of India With China.

The United States will take part in joint military exercises with India less than 100 kilometers from the South Asian country's disputed border with China. The drills will be held in mid-October at an altitude of 10,000 feet in Auli in the Indian state of Uttarakhand and will focus on high-altitude warfare training, according to a senior Indian Army officer with knowledge of the matter. Auli is about 95 kilometers from the Line of Actual Control (LAC), an inhospitable piece of land where the disputed border between India and China is roughly demarcated. Sino-Indian relations, strained since a deadly clash between their armies in the Himalayas in June 2020 and further aggravated by China's building of a bridge over the Pangong Tso lake on the border, were further upset by a visit to Ind...

The Resurgence Of Unionizing Efforts In The United States Has Been Fueled By The Rise Of Unionizing Campaigns Among Strippers, Knights, And Queens.

On any given weekend night in North Hollywood, more than a dozen dancers at the Star Garden topless bar are protesting their employer's refusal to let them return to work by holding signs in front of the club. The dancers have been locked out for four-plus months after they petitioned the owners to reinstate two of their fired colleagues, improve security and safety measures, and recognize their right to form a worker union. In 2003, strippers at San Francisco's Lusty Lady successfully formed America's first unionized strip club — but since then, no other such effort has succeeded. That is to a great extent in view of fruitful unionization endeavors at behemoths like Starbucks (SBUX), Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL), which snatched features and motivated others to send off their ow...

Options Are Short For Cristiano Ronaldo As Transfer Speculation Increases.

In early July 2017, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United for the first time since his €100 million transfer to Real Madrid in 2009. He signed a four-year contract worth over $50 million a year, but now he's unhappy with his current club. Reports say that Ronaldo wants to play in the UEFA Champions League again and is looking for a new challenge. But despite his success and talent, it seems the Portuguese superstar's options are limited because some people at Atlético Madrid don't want him on their team. Ronaldo has become a legend at Real Madrid's archrival, Atlético, and fans are displeased at the prospect of signing him. On Wednesday, fans showed their displeasure by unfurling banners at a preseason game against Numancia -- one with the words "CR7 not welcome." Bayern Muni...

Shares Of Alibaba Were Sliding After The US Threatened To Remove The Company From The Exchanges.

Alibaba shares fell after the Securities and Exchange Commission announced on Friday that it had added Alibaba to a watchlist of Chinese firms whose stock may be kicked off Wall Street if US auditors cannot inspect their financial statements. On Monday, Alibaba's US-listed shares plunged 11%, but later recovered some of those losses. Concern about Alibaba has been brewing for years. In late 2020, the company was swept up in a Chinese government crackdown on the country's booming technology sector. Alibaba's stock price has fallen nearly 70%, from its all-time high, and revenue growth has slowed for many tech companies as well as local Chinese firms. The crackdown and economic slowdown have wiped out billions of dollars from their market cap. The Securities and Exchange Comm...

Economic Recovery Depends On Countries Around The World Working Together.

Supply chains are still a snarled mess, disrupting deliveries of goods to businesses and feeding the worldwide surge in inflation. The good news: There are some indications that the situation is beginning to get better. The bad news: Huge risks—from another spike in coronavirus cases to labor disputes involving US rail workers—make it difficult to assume much confidence, clouding the outlook for the global economy. The flow of goods has mostly recovered from the initial shock of the war in Ukraine, according to Konstantin Krebs, managing partner at Capstan Capital. "Containers are coming back onstream, and you can feel that," Krebs said. The Global Supply Chain Pressure Index from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York declined between April and June, though it remains "at historically h...

Climatologists In The United Kingdom Urged The Citizens Not To Travel As The Heat Wave Grows.

London commuters have been advised not to use the city's transport network unless it's necessary. The UK Met Office issued an amber extreme heat warning from Sunday through Tuesday, as temperatures will likely surpass the country's 2019 heat wave record temperature of 38.7 Celsius (101.7 degrees Fahrenheit), posing a risk to passengers. "Due to the exceptionally hot weather that is expected next week, customers should only use London's transport network for essential journeys," Transport for London (TfL) chief operating officer Andy Lord said. Impermanent speed limitations will be acquainted with London's cylinder and rail administrations "to protect everybody," Lord added, asking voyagers to "convey water consistently." Searingly hot temperatures can harm electrical cables and flag...
