"In general, my feeling is that it's not a good idea to lend to family and friends," says Ted Rossman, a senior industry analyst at CreditCards.com. If you've ever watched an episode of "Judge Judy," you know that lending money to a friend or loved one can come with disastrous results. And even if you don't urgently need the money, a failure to repay could lead to hurt feelings or awkward tension on both sides.

Booker told the media afterwards that he liked the trash talk, saying the two were “competitors.”“I love Klay Thompson.

BENGALURU, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Nestle India (NEST.NS) reported a bigger-than-expected rise in third-quarter profit on Wednesday, benefiting from price increases and a rebound in demand for its chocolates and packaged foods in rural areas. The Maggi noodles maker's profit rose 8.3% to 6.68 billion Indian rupees ($81.1 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30. Analysts on average were expecting a profit of 6.57 billion rupees, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

However, analysts says that certain categories, including noodles and biscuits, defied the trend as people consider such items small treats during economic downturns, adding to Nestle's resilient urban sales momentum.

☆ Exxon's Russian oil output collapsed after rejecting local tanker insurance - sources
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

REUTERS/Sergei KarpukhinHOUSTON/NEW DELHI, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Oil output at the giant Exxon-led (XOM.N) Sakhalin-1 Russian Pacific project collapsed following the U.S. major's refusal to accept local insurance for tankers after Western insurers pulled out due to sanctions, several industry sources told Reuters. The developments have unfolded as the European Union is due to impose a ban on Russian oil tanker insurance and shows the major impact ship insurance and re-insurance guarantees can have on operations. Russia's state oil champion Rosneft (ROSN.MM), a partner in the Sakhalin-1 project, has blamed Exxon for falling output, saying that since mid-May the project produced hardly any oil. Russian newspaper Kommersant was first to report on Monday that production at Sakhalin-1 collapsed following Exxon's refusal to work with Sovcomflot. Oil output at the Sakhalin-1 project fell to just 10,000 barrels per day (bpd) earlier this year from 220,000 bpd before Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.

Pilotul francez va testa un monopost Mercedes înaintea Marelui Premiu al Franței. Acesta lucru a devenit posibil după ce directorul constructorului german i-a promis că îi va oferi ocazia de a conduce din nou un monopost după acel accident.Marele Premiu al Franței la Formula 1 este programat pe 20 iunie, iar testele puțin mai devreme.

Înainte de toate, înainte de a “cântări” roada anului 2020, trebuie să amintim că acest an a fost unul în care nu a plouat, seceta fiind destul de agresivă, influenţând desigur cantitatea de fructe. Evident, nu este corect să atribuim creşterea preţului doar golului pe care l-a creat seceta din anul trecut. Piciorul a fost pus pe frână în luna martie, iar cifrele nu fac decât să demonstreze acest fenomen. În ianuarie-februarie, din ţară au fost exportate aproximativ 28 mii tone de mere (în aceeaşi perioadă a anului trecut exportul acestor fructe a însumat 54 mii tone). Un alt factor care a influenţat exporturile noastre a fost creşterea preţului merelor pe piaţa rusă, ceea ce a influenţat imediat cererea.
