GALESBURG â In 2004, Loving Bottoms founder LeeAnn Porter was living in Kentucky. She says she was coming out of an abusive relationship, and was going through a divorce. As a single mom with three children â the youngest only 6 months old â she found herself under immense financial strain.
While her landlord helped her receive assistance through WIC and other programs, things remained a challenge. Porter said food was not a huge difficulty, and she was able to cook, but other things like laundry soap, dish soap and diapers were a problem. When she asked the people at the pantries about these things, they looked at her like they did not know why she needed them.

Queensland Pacific Metals Ltd (ASX:QPM)(FRA:4EA) has received positive assays for mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP) produced from recent piloting test-work for the TECH project in Townsville, Queensland.
As part of QPM s technical team, the company engaged leading consultants who are experts in both MHP production and its refining of MHP into nickel and cobalt sulphate.
These experts confirmed that the assay results of QPM s MHP are in line with leading MHP products that are currently sold around the world, largely for the purpose of refining into nickel and cobalt sulphate.
MHP is preferred nickel feed source for refining to nickel sulphate as the process to do so is commercial, relatively straight forward and has low capital and operating costs.

Trade policies often have unintended consequences, such as US sanctions on a major Chinese tech company contributing to a global shortage of semiconductors, an expert on global trade told business webinar attendees. I think based on what I ve seen and read, it s partly because of supply chain issues with COVID, but it s also being attributed to unintended blowbacks or consequences of our export-control and growing tech battle between the US and China, said Robert Oberlies.

Joyce was a fabulous lady, very attuned to everything going on in the community. When we lost Joyce, it was the first loss of someone that close. Just absolutely hated it, and then the realization you canât even go to the funeral, because there is no funeral. You canât be with the family. You canât share how important she was with anyone.
