Sears Holdings spent $1.46 per square foot in 2012 on its stores compared to an average of $9.45 per square foot for Target, Penneys, Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot, according to this report. Lampert counters this by saying his fund made investments in technology and online retail. Yet Sears stock is up 41% for the year by Oct 2013 largely on the basis that Sears Holdings is worth much more for its parts. Land's End is being put up for sale as well as other pieces of Sears Holdings by Ed Lampert's Hedge Fund ESL Investments.

On Ukraine and Eastern Europe after the invasion of Ukraine Rubio with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) inserted an amendment into 2023 defense authorization bill that prevents any president from withdrawing from NATO unless two thirds of the Senate agrees.

Queen Elizabeth II: The Queue and the Cumbria expert who helped plan it

  
BBC News - 09.17.2022 Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
The Queue for seeing Queen Elizabeth at Westminster is a talking point around the world. See the queue here on the BBC and Charles III and Prince William interacting with the people in the queue. It is five miles long and stretches along the Thames and through London. It takes 9 to 24 hours to complete the queue and enter Westminster. It is a typically British invention. One report in the BBC on the queue described the silent meditative magic of it. The good humored and patient standing for hours and hours showed the British public at its best. This report looks at the organization that also helped set this up.

With the glitches and delays in Model 3 introduction there is increasing skepticism about Tesla's future. After a credit downgrade analysts say Tesla is living on borrowed time and borrowed money. Its future is uncertain and some analysts question whether it will run out of money by the end of 2018. In March 2017 Tesla's share price went down by about one third.

Previous articles in Lyrarc.com from the WSJ and NYT give more insights on the problems at Tesla. Through all the articles the personality of Elon Musk is evident and it shows an emphasis on being overextended, on presentation over substance. This is particularly evident as the company faces capital needs of about $2 billion, competitors who have surpassed it in technology even though Musk was a pioneer in this field, and lack of credibility in capital markets.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
