Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Today, the federal and provincial governments announced Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is implementing extraordinary measures to offer support to Saskatchewan livestock producers facing challenges resulting from dry conditions this year, allowing additional acres of low yielding cereal and pulse crops to be diverted to feed. This incentive allows crop producers to make timely decisions to make additional feed available to graze, bale or silage. When crops are severely damaged and the appraised yield falls below an established threshold level, the yield is reduced to zero for the Crop Insurance claim.

(May 17): If you want to join Monaco's richest 1%, you'll need an eight-figure fortune. It takes US$12.4 million (RM56.1 million) to make the cut in the tiny Mediterranean principality, according to research from Knight Frank, where billionaire residents such as UK industrialist Jim Ratcliffe and Walgreens Boots Alliance chairman Stefano Pessina typically don't face income or capital gains taxes. Switzerland and Australia have the next highest entry points to the 1%, with Switzerland requiring a net worth of US$6.

Competition Bureau Canada The Competition Bureau has approved independent buyers of two of Domtar Corporation's mills in Ontario: Dryden Fibre Canada, ULC, an affiliate of First Quality Enterprises, LLC as the buyer of Domtar's pulp mill in Dryden; and Atlas Holdings LLC as the buyer of Domtar's pulp and paper mill in Thunder Bay. Following a review of Domtar's acquisition of Resolute Forest Products Inc, the Bureau registered an agreement in December 2022 requiring the sale of the mills. The Bureau review concluded that the merger of Domtar and Resolute would likely lessen competition substantially in the supply of northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp in Eastern and Central Canada, and in the purchase of wood fibre from private lands in northwestern Ontario.

Every morning and afternoon, like clockwork, the surface of the Moon trembles with tiny "moonquakes." Now, new analysis of seismic activity on the Moon has characterized these events and discovered that some of them are not what they seem. The new research is described in a study appearing in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets on September 5. Without an atmosphere to insulate it, the Moon experiences drastic temperature variation, from up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit during the peak of the day to -208° F at night.

We are deeply concerned about deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Nagorno-Karabakh resulting from the continued blockage of food, medicine, and other goods essential to a dignified existence. The United States has worked continuously with the sides over the past several weeks to allow humanitarian assistance to reach the population of Nagorno-Karabakh. We reiterate our call to immediately re-open the Lachin corridor to humanitarian, commercial, and passenger traffic. Further, officials from Baku and representatives from Stepanakert should convene without delay to agree on the means of transporting critical provisions to the men, women, and children of Nagorno-Karabakh - including additional supply routes - and resume discussions on all outstanding issues.

MANILA  -The benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) fell below the 6,600 level on Monday as blue chip stocks were sold down. The PSEi sank 0.51 percent, or 33.79 points, to 6,591.47 while the broader All Shares index was down 0.29 percent, or 10.25 points, to 3,516.67. 'This may be attributed largely to month-end portfolio adjustments of institutional investors and also shows continued selling pressure after the index failed to hurdle the strong resistance at 6,700,' Juan Paolo Colet, managing director at investment bank China Bank Capital Corp.

The world turns, and things change. For many years, going to an ALDE event meant being led by the suave, and occasionally cynical, Robert Woodthorpe Browne, whose almost legendary ability to cut deals meant that our influence somewhat outweighed our numerical strength. And now, we have a new leader, David Chalmers, whose first Congress this was. Naturally, David operates rather differently, although he clearly gets that, in a post-Brexit environment, Liberal Democrats have to work harder (and smarter) to get things done.
