BAGUIO CITY, Benguet, Philippines — The conversion of Cordillera forests into farms, with an annual rate of 8.64 hectares of lost timberland, will impact 13 major river systems in Luzon, a group of researchers revealed on Tuesday. This prompted this city and its neighboring Benguet towns of Tuba and Itogon to join hands and preserve the watershed of Kennon Road's Bued River system using new data and a management plan drawn up by Project Danum, a multidisciplinary study group of the University of the Cordilleras that was funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

The U.S. has been getting a smaller share of its imports from China since the start of the trade war in 2018, and the situation has been further aggravated by Washington's decoupling policies in recent years. Southeast Asia, South Asia and Central America, with their advantages in labor and production costs, have been the regions that have most benefited from the U.S. shifting purchases away from China, particularly of labor-intensive goods like apparel and footwear.

Rafizi Ramli KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Bernama) -- The government has no plans to implement law enforcement actions on environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliance by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in this country. Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said the implementation and reporting of ESG practices by companies in Malaysia is currently voluntary and is encouraged for all listed public companies (PLCs) on Bursa Malaysia. 'Among MSMEs in general, the performance of ESG practices is still at a low level due to the lack of understanding on the importance of ESG,' he said during a question and answer session at the Dewan Negara today.

by Susan Harpt Grimes Aug. 09, 2023 7:27 a.m. Ope! Looks like it's time to head on over to Boswell Books for an appearance by comedian and Emmy award-winning writer Taylor Kay Phillips. Phillips will discuss her humorous new book,  A Guide to Midwestern Conversation , on August 9 at 6:30 p.m. Phillips is a Midwestern native and she successfully manages to poke fun of, and yet create a pleasing tribute to, Midwestern language, niceness and the generally positive attitude that pervades our regional culture with her writing.

NEW YORK—Each player at the Women's World Cup will be guaranteed at least $30,000 after a ground-breaking move by FIFA to disburse some of the prize money to individuals rather than national federations. All 23 members of the winning team will take home $270,000, part of a $110 million total prize pool that is roughly 300% higher than what FIFA offered for the 2019 tournament. The $30,000 minimum directed prize money is more than twice the average salary of $14,000 for paid players surveyed in FIFA's 2022 benchmarking report.

The people of Tasmania are the ones suffering from the disintegration of the Rockliff minority government. They've completely lost the ability to govern. In the Premier's interview this morning with Leon Compton he put the onus on Elise Archer to determine if we go to an early election and couldn't state if parliament will be prorogued. This shows he doesn't have a plan for the next day let alone for Tasmania's future. The people of our state were promised stable, majority government. But due to Jeremy Rockliff's weak and ineffective leadership Liberal members are turning on one another and have lost sight of the reason they were elected in the first place.
