Something wasn’t quite right about the chicken soup. The team at Manischewitz had gathered in the test kitchen at the company’s headquarters in Bayonne, N.J., last year to taste the latest version of one of their new offerings. “We were tasting it against our grandparents’ and saying, ‘No, that’s not it; it’s just not like our Friday night chicken soup,’” said Shani Seidman, the chief marketing officer for Kayco, which owns Manischewitz. “A lot of times you think of improvement and innovation as extra or modern,” Ms. Seidman said in an interview this month. “But we’re going back to go forward.”And chicken soup is only the start of it.

"I don't really have any comment on it, that's one for the authorities who are working very hard," Rod Ellingworth, the racing director of the Ineos-Grenadiers team, told Reuters. "The organisers did not even mention it at the team meeting (before the start of the race).

French container line CMA CGM sees the ownership of cargo terminals at U.S. ports as the next step in its bid to extend its shipping business into greater inland logistics. “Port terminals are an essential piece of the supply-chain efficiency, being at the crossroads of sea and land operations,” said Christine Cabau Woehrel, CMA CGM Group’s executive vice president of operations and assets. CMA CGM earned $17.9 billion in net profits in 2021 and its earnings in the first three quarters of this year reached more than $20.4 billion. The purchases come as CMA CGM is spending billions to buy logistics operations and more recently launch an airfreight service. China’s Cosco Shipping Ports has expanded its terminal operations around the world in concert with expansion by state-owned Cosco Shipping Lines.

Dec 6 (Reuters) - CMA CGM, one of the world's largest container shipping lines, said on Tuesday that it has agreed to acquire two container terminals at the port of New York and New Jersey from Global Container Terminals (GCT), which will extend its presence in a crucial hub for trade. According to Bloomberg, which first reported the news, the deal could fetch around $3 billion. In a statement, CMA CGM said acquired ports in Staten Island, New York, and Bayonne, New Jersey, have a combined capacity of 2 million twenty-foot-equivalent units per year, and has a potential for further expansion, up to almost double capacity. Like its shipping rivals, CMA CGM has extended its presence along the logistics chain in port infrastructure and non-maritime transport services.

Here are the known and unknowns so far:WHO'S IN THE PRICE CAP COALITION? Britain said Thursday it could ban countries from using its services to transport Russian oil purchased for a price exceeding the cap. WHAT WILL THE PRICE CAP LEVEL BE?

Worries about potential sanctions, even if unfounded, can cause traders to avoid deals, another factor that can boost oil prices.

☆ New York tops West Coast again as nation's No. 1 port in sign of permanent trade shift

The previous monthly data was the first time New York topped the West Coast and was being watched as a tipping point. Fears of a strike among West Coast port workers is one of the primary reasons behind the coastal shift in trade to the U.S. The freight railroads have shifted with the port trade trends as the East Coast has gained. "We expect the East Coast trend to continue, and our railroad is ready to deliver for more than half of the country's consumers and manufacturers," he said. As more trade has moved east, port congestion has come with it.

Fundașul echipei Manchester City, Aymeric Laporte, va juca pentru naționala Spaniei.FIFA a aprobat demersul care permite ca fundaşul francez să poată evolua pentru "Furia Roja" cu efect imediat".Astfel, jucătorul născut în Franţa, la Agen, va putea îmbrăca tricoul naționalei Spaniei chiar la Campionatul European, care va începe în mai puțin de o lună.Deşi e francez prin naştere, Aymeric Laporte avea un străbunic basc şi astfel a ajuns, în 2012, la Athletic Bilbao, unde, la un moment dat, era singurul străin din lot. Anterior, el a fost junior la un club din regiunea franceză a Ţării Bascilor, Bayonne, şi apoi la Basconia, înainte de a ajunge pe San Mames.La 30 ianuarie 2018, jucătorul a fost transferat de Manchester City de la Bilbao, în schimbul sumei record atunci pentru "citadini", de 65 de milioane de euro.Laporte a fost al doilea cel mai scump fundaş din istorie, după ce Liverpool a plătit, în aceeaşi lună a anului 2018, clubului Southampton 84 de milioane de euro pentru olandezul Virgil Van Dijk.Jucătorul de 26 de ani, care a evoluat de 19 ori pentru naţionala de tineret a Franţei, a fost convocat de trei ori la prima reprezentativă a "cocoşului galic", dar nu a jucat niciun minut, astfel că acum este eligibil de a evolua pentru prima reprezentativă spaniolă.Înainte de ajunge la Campionatul European, Laporte mai are șanse să câștige și trofeul Ligii Campionilor.Echipa sa de club, Manchester City, va juca finala cu Chelsea pe 29 mai la Porto. Meciul va fi transmis în direct pe PRIME cu începere de la ora 22:00.
