Central Retail Corporation from Thailand has drawn up ambitious plans for the next five years in VietnamÂ
With a target of further expanding its footprint in Vietnam as a high-potential market, Thailandâs Central Retail Corporation (CRC) has come up with a five-year plan with an investment value of approximately THB35 billion ($1.1 billion) to cover 55 cities and provinces nationwide.
Yol Phokasub, CEO of CRC, revealed in a statement in early April that CRC is forging on with business expansion in Vietnam. âThanks to strong collaboration from all sectors, Vietnam has emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic with a GDP growth rate of 2.91 per cent, the lowest growth for the market but still positive growth while most other countries reported an average 4.4 per cent reduction. Vietnamâs economy is predicted to bounce back to 6.8 per cent in 2021,â he said.
WINNIPEG The only church on a northern Manitoba First Nation was destroyed in a fire, and RCMP have arrested a suspect for arson. St. Theresa Point Roman Catholic Church, approximately 480 kilometres north of Winnipeg, went up in flames shortly after Easter Sunday mass. “It is a huge loss,” Chief Marie Wood told CTV News. Wood said she was told by the local fire chief that the church was engulfed in flames before crews arrived on scene. “People from the community, many crying went to watch the church burn, nothing could be done except for fire crews to secure the area and control the burn.”
WINNIPEG One person was taken to hospital in unstable condition on Sunday night following a house fire in Winnipeg’s North End. Crews from the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service were called to the fire at a multi-family home in the 700 block of Dufferin Avenue at 8 p.m. When they got to the scene, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from the house. Crews had the fire under control by 8:23 p.m. Everyone inside the house got out before the fire paramedic service arrived. Paramedics assessed one person, who was taken to hospital in unstable condition. Images from the scene show significant damage to the outside of the house.
Johnson said the easing of restrictions was “fully justified by the data”.
“And on Monday the 12th I will be going to the pub myself – and cautiously but irreversibly raising a pint of beer to my lips.”
His comments came as the UK government published the latest findings from its reviews of Covid status certification – so-called “vaccine passports” – and international travel. Source: PA Graphics
The review suggested a certification scheme could have an “important role to play both domestically and internationally, as a temporary measure” – but Johnson faces opposition from MPs on both sides of the Commons who are concerned about the civil liberties implications.
Remembering The Legendary Cheese House In Trenton
At this point it s almost legendary.
The Cheese House, was a New England chain of wine and cheese stores that operated within yellow circular shaped buildings that resembled a round of cheese with a piece taken from it, and with a mouse on the roof. Yes, these were certainly distinctive looking, and a very well known brand in the region back in the 1970s.
For years, one stood at the corner of Route 3 and the Jordan River Road in Trenton, and it was a roadside novelty if there ever was one. You certainly couldn t miss it. One didn t just drive by or turn the corner without taking a glance at the Cheese House. Even with all the huge roadside and rooftop metal and ceramic lobsters attached to every lobster restaurant between Ellsworth and Bar Harbor, the mouse stood out.
