Power of Palestinian tatreez embroidery celebrated in new exhibition
Tatreez – added to Unesco's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2021 – is a form of cross-stitch embroidery used by rural women in Palestine to embellish their dresses. The Cambridge exhibition opens with the Nakba thobe, a white dress, now discoloured in parts, with closely worked dark red embroidery. Material Power: Palestinian Embroidery, at Kettle’s Yard, is the exhibition's third title, but not its last – it travels next to the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester. This research ultimately generated the exhibitions At the Seams: A Political History of Palestinian Embroidery, also at the centre, and then Labour of Love: New Approaches to Palestinian Embroidery, which was on view at the Palestinian Museum in Ramallah. “And this is what the thobes are doing as well, in the stories they tell: they are honouring the women who wore them.”Material Power: Palestinian Embroidery runs at Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge until October 29.

Ethiopia willing to negotiate GERD on specific time frame: Egyptian official
The Egyptian presidential spokesperson Ahmed Fahmy revealed that Ethiopia is willing to negotiate on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) within a specific time frame. Egypt and Sudan say they want a legally binding agreement on operating the dam, while Ethiopia says any pact should be advisory. Both countries consider the dam a threat to their vital water supplies, while Ethiopia considers it essential for development and doubling its electricity production. The downstream nations fear possible blows to water facilities, agricultural land, and overall availability of Nile water. Negotiations over the dam between Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan have stalled for years, with the three parties ultimately failing to reach any agreements.

American Airlines or United Airlines Flights to Hawaii? Almonds?

I lost several thousand dollars in the process with American Airlines with no recourse to retrieve it. United Airlines operates the Boeing 777 as part of its fleet between Hawaii and the West Coast. To be fair again, United Airlines also uses the Boeing 737, a similar aircraft to the Airbus Neon on some of the Hawaii-bound flights.

Seven logistics firms rejected for multimodal licenses
– Ethiopian Maritime Authority overturns initial selection, rejects all applicants for multimodal licenses– Bollore Transport & Logistics among logistics firms denied license despite extensive experienceThe Ethiopian Maritime Authority (EMA) has rejected bids from seven logistics companies seeking multimodal operating licenses, including the French Bollore Transport & Logistics. The bidders were Tikur Abay Transport Plc, Ethiopian Railways Corporation (ERC), Panafric Global Plc, Gulf Ingot FZC Industries Plc, National Transport Plc, Ethio-Djibouti Railways S.C and Bollore Transport & Logistics. Depositing half of the required 10 percent cash – 350 million birr – was one of the criteria to win the multimodal license. The Multimodal Transport Operators Commercial Licensing and Competency Certification directive issued in 2021 stipulates stringent criteria for firms to obtain operating licenses and certificates of competence. An international logistics and maritime consultant who advised Ethiopia’s logistics policy and multimodal license process, declined to comment specifically on EMA’s screening or the directive’s implementation.

Black Restaurant Week aims to showcase diverse cuisines, uplift business owners
Porter’s restaurant, Stacy’s Island Flavor, is one of around 20 participating in the third edition of Black Restaurant Week in the Toronto area, which kicked off July 7 and runs through Sunday. A Statistics Canada study published in February, which compared the socioeconomic characteristics of Black business owners in Canada with their white and other racialized counterparts, outlined further challenges. The study cited a Black Business and Professional Association survey which showed 81.4 per cent of Black female business owners reported having used their own funds to start their business. “It’s hard for a Black-owned business to promote themselves for exposure,” he said. Jerk has one meaning and it’s the process of how you get it done.”Porter said she hopes Black Restaurant Week can provide the opportunity to attract the attention of new customers — and their tastebuds.
