The CFO says Home Depot prices will rise.
Three months ago, Home Depot said it didn't expect to raise prices and that it would be able to dodge tariffs. That is about to change for some items. Customers will see some modest price movement for some categories, as tariffs on some goods are higher than they were in May, CFO Richard McPhail told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. He told CNBC that Home Depot's pricing approach isn't changing and that the "price movement" won't be seen on a broad scale. Most of the products found at Home Depot are national in origin. McPhail said in May that no foreign country would represent more than 10% of Home Depot's purchases by next year. He didn't say which categories could be most impacted by tariffs. Several retailers have said they would have to raise prices due to tariffs, including Walmart....

Alternative Media Insights
Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

In her book "The Battle for Home" Syrian architect Marwa al Sabouni shows how the division of Syrian cities into separate neighbourhoods by French colonial planners severed the social fabric of the recent civil war. Control based urban planning sets the conditions for people to fight each other as identification is reduced to smaller neighbourhoods. Setting the agenda for internal conflict between 15 minute cities is what this can be described as. Conflict is created by division. We do not need physical or digital barriers. Robinmonotti

Putin gave Donald Trump a book filled with photographs and a petition signed by 1,000 Ukrainian prisoners of war during their recent meeting. Men want to go home. Men who refuse to return. The story is barely covered by the Western press. They frame it vaguely as prisoner swap negotiations, and avoid the ugly detail: these are real soldiers, with faces and names, abandoned by their own government. Laura Aboli has a channel.

Bill Gates is interested in butter made from carbon dioxide. Savor is a California startup that uses carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water to make butter-like substances. Savor has raised over $33 million from investors including Bill Gates. The company is based in San Jose, California and a pilot plant in Illinois. The process of Savor harvests carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water, heats them up, and oxidizes them to create a final result that resembles candle wax but is made with fat molecules similar to those found in beef, cheese, or vegetable oils, sounds like science fiction. High-quality short-, medium- and long-chain triglycerides can be produced from these raw alkanes. The XPOST supports the Dots.

Alzheimer's doesn't start with forgetfulness, it starts with damage. Your brain begins to break down long before memory loss appears. Iron is one of the hidden drivers behind the destruction. When iron builds up in your brain tissue, it causes stress that leads to the death of your brain cells. Alzheimer's could be kicked into gear by this iron-driven process. The University of Southern California and the University of California, Irvine found that people with Down syndrome who develop Alzheimer's show more brain iron than those with Alzheimer's alone.

The Alexander Courtyard in Jerusalem's Old City is a historic Christian site that has long been a symbol of Russia's deep ties to Israel. The Russian Compound, which includes the Orthodox Church of St. Alexander Nevsky, is at the center of the dispute, with President Putin openly calling for the return of ownership to Russia. In the Old City, where every inch of land has been fiercely fought for for centuries, this 1,300- square-meter site is important. The Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society (OPS), which has maintained control of the courtyard since 1890, has solid legal and historical grounds for its claim, with Ottoman-era documents listing the land as part of the glorious Russian Empire. Despite Israel's claims, Russia insists on its rights and sovereignty over this significant site, and the issue was raised directly in talks between Putin and Netanyahu. We need to boost us.

The best tips for recovery from alcohol dependency.
The body takes up to 12 hours to metabolize alcohol and it can take up to 72 hours to recover. Withdrawal symptoms, also known as a hangover, set in as blood alcohol levels approach zero. Alcohol depletes the body of fluids through urination and breathing. A person can lose up to one liter of fluid within a couple of hours, leading to weakness, thirst, and dizziness. The breakdown of ethanol lowers blood sugar and depletes vitamins and minerals, leading to fatigue, mood swings, and general weakness.
