Spain fans were dejected to see their team crash out of the tournament. "We go back to Spain crying and we will have to reflect," said Julia Calvet, 21, in a Barcelona bar. In Barcelona, Morocco fans packed into the central Raval neighbourhood to celebrate, lighting flares and singing. "We needed to win so that Moroccans have confidence in themselves in Spain," Anass, a 22-year-old Moroccan cook told Reuters in downtown Barcelona.

REUTERS/Nacho Doce/File PhotoSHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The COP27 climate summit in Egypt must establish a fund to help countries cope with the irreparable damage caused by climate disasters, ministers representing developing nations said on Thursday, warning that anything less would thwart the U.N. summit's chances of success. Talks about creating - or at least committing to create - a "loss and damage" fund were put on the agenda for the first time in nearly three decades of COP climate summits where poorer nations have urged richer countries to act. "Anything less than establishing a loss and damage fund at this COP is a betrayal of the people who are working so hard to clean up this environment," said Molwyn Joseph, Antigua and Barbuda's environment minister. He was speaking at a news conference of ministers representing groups of developing countries in the U.N. climate talks. The first draft of a possible deal document for COP27 published earlier on Thursday mentions loss and damage, but it does not include details for actually launching a fund.

It showed 2022-23 Ukraine corn production at 25.8 million tonnes versus USDA’s official estimate of 31.5 million. However, official USDA estimates also use this general “policy in place” framework, so it is a decent bet that the approach was similar. That means its Ukraine estimates still include Crimea and all Russian-occupied areas, and no land area has been added to Russia. CHINA CORNThe market was tipped off in mid-2020 that something may be amiss with Chinese corn stocks as domestic prices began rallying well before U.S. ones. In other words, it appears USDA does not have hard, indisputable evidence of a strong decline in Chinese corn stocks.

The fallout serves as a cautionary tale for the independence movement in Scotland, which is pushing to hold another referendum next year on breaking away from the United Kingdom. Junqueras was Catalonia's deputy government head when the region held an independence referendum banned by a Spanish court. Junqueras insisted the Catalan separatist movement is still strong, pointing out the increase in pro-independence lawmakers in the past decade. Like Scotland, Catalonia's independence movement is now pushing for another referendum, this time with the approval of the Spanish government. But as with the UK government and Scotland´s bid, Spain has so far rejected the proposal.

Taco Bell is making aggressive use of edge computing to support the many digital ways customers can place orders, the fast-food chain’s head of technology said.

The Wall Street Journal's Steven Rosenbush, left, talks with Vadim Parizher, Taco Bell's vice president of technology, at an online event Thursday. With edge-computing foundations in place, he said, Taco Bell can experiment with connected robotic equipment that can fry food, warm up tortillas or pour drinks.

"The real cost of the transaction (between Santos and Barcelona) was 82 million euros, and only 17 million appeared as the official transfer," Nasser said. It was unclear if Neymar would be asked to stay for the whole hearing, which is expected to last seven days.

Today, at 31, I have a thriving vending machine business that brings in more than $300,000 a year in sales. But one day, a new side hustle idea sparked when my friend saw a woman taking cash out of a vending machine. But I kept at it, and now I have 21 vending machines throughout Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Washington, D.C. Look to see if there are vending machine warehouses in your city, and on platforms like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and eBay. There are also local vending machine warehouses that sell food and beverage products, like Pinnacle Vending in Philadelphia.

☆ Use less air con, drive slower to shun Russian energy and save money, IEA urges

REUTERS/Nacho DoceBRUSSELS, April 21 (Reuters) - Raise your air conditioner's temperature, adjust your boiler settings, drive slower and swap short-haul flights for trains: some of the International Energy Agency's advice on how consumers can help reduce reliance on Russian energy and cut their bills. If done EU-wide, the measures could save 220 million barrels of oil per year and 17 billion cubic metres of gas, the IEA said. If Russia were to cut off gas supplies, or if the EU sanctioned Russian gas, far wider emergency measures would be needed to slash use of the fuel, such as factory closures and potential energy rationing.

Sergio Ramos se desparte de Real Madrid după 16 ani, iar gruparea blanco trebuie să-și aleagă un nou căpitan de echipă. În fine, ultimul stranier care a purtat banderola de căpitan a fost Federico Revolver din Guatemala în 1904. Asta deși, cel mai probabil, Benzema va juca mai mult și va fi cel care va purta banderola în lipsa brazilianului. Sergio Ramos a fost căpitan timp de 6 ani și a cucerit 12 trofee, în timp ce Iker Casillas se laudă cu 7 trofee ridicate în brațe timp de 5 sezoane.

Cum a fost contactat de Pep GuardiolaSergio Ramos este aproape de Manchester City, anunță cei de la ESPN, citați de cotidianul spaniol AS. Pep Guardiola este cel care insistă pentru căpitanul lui Real Madrid, aflat la final de contract. Manchester City a pierdut recent finala Ligii Campionilor contra lui Chelsea, iar o eroare defensivă a înclinat balanța în favoarea lui Chelsea la golul lui Kai Havertz. Sergio Ramos negociază cu Real Madrid și ar accepta reducerea salariului cu 10%, dar pentru un contract pe 2 ani. Florentino Perez nu ar dori să-i prelungească mai mult de an, mai ales că apărătorul a ratat și naționala Spaniei din cauza accidentărilor.
