Chinese official urges win-win cooperation
A Chinese official
on Tuesday urged the world's think tanks and media professionals to help
promote the dialogue and transcend civilizational conflicts. The second
China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition
and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2019.For

"As a nexus of people from different countries, think tanks and media should promote world peace and win-win cooperation," said Huang Kunming, a member of the political bureau of the Communist Party of China's Central Committee and the head of its publicity department. He was addressing the forum "China's 70-Year Development and the Building of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind" on the sidelines of the second China International Import Expo in Shanghai.
"History tells us that opening-up brings prosperity, while a closed door hinders development," he said. "Through win-win cooperation, China will bring the world an opportunity of development."Addressing hundreds of delegates from the world's think tanks and media outlets, he said the CIIE is by no means a China solo, but rather a world chorus. For many years, he said, China had contributed at least 30 percent of global growth, and all countries are welcome to jump on the bandwagon of China's fast growth. "As China develops, it benefits the world at large," he said.
China's development over the past 70 years, he said, was a miracle in that it had achieved a rare economic growth momentum and sustained social stability. Such an achievement was made possible with Chinese people's independent and hard work under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, he said, adding that copying from books or foreign models or relying on external favors would not work.
Xie Fuzhan, president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the forum that China, having achieved a historical success over the past 70 years, will continue to follow a path of peaceful development and make greater contributions to the community of a shared future for mankind.
Huang said China did not agree that a nation will necessarily turn hegemonic as it becomes stronger. He said China will neither import foreign models of development nor export its own.
Martin Jacques, senior visiting researcher at Asian Research Center of London School of Economics and China Institute of Fudan University, said China could not be copied, but the world would benefit by learning from China, just as China was a wonderful learner.
Double Groove Brewing opens in Forest Hill
Very few vinyl
albums have more than one groove, but Fallston resident Craig Willig —
who owns more than 3,000 records — has obtained at least two double
groove” albums, both of which are framed and are in the brewery Willig
and his wife, Donna, own with their friends Lisa and Mark Moody.
The new brewery, located in Forest Hill, is named Double Groove Brewing
in honor of those rare records — one is a copy of the British band
Marillion’s album Brave,” released in 1994, and the 1973 comedy album
Matching Tie & Handkerchief,” by the famed British troupe Monty
Python.
On an album with two grooves, a listener hears one song when
putting the record player needle down one time, and a different song
the next time.
It either follows one path or the other, so it plays a different set of songs,” Craig Willig explained.
The brewery, which has a tap room with 14 taps, opened for public tours
Dec. 6. Lisa and Mark Moody — Mark is the head brewer — appeared before
the Harford County Liquor Control Board Dec. 4 for a hearing on their
liquor license.
The board approved Double Groove’s license and
granted the owners’ request to hold two soft opening events in January.
Neither is open to the general public, though, according to Scott Baker,
general manager of the liquor board.
The event on Jan. 25 will be
like a private party,” with guests such as artists, attorneys,
contractors, financiers and others who have supported the project,
according to Craig Willig. The party will be a celebration for all the
folks that helped make this happen,” Mark Moody said.
He, Lisa Moody
and Craig Willig were at the brewery last Saturday working on the
interior of the building, with the five-barrel brewing facility in the
rear and tap room in the front. One wall in the tap room is decorated
with multiple album covers, and the opposite wall is reserved for a
mural by Baltimore-area artist Marshall Adams, who has painted a number
of murals around downtown Bel Air.
The Moodys, of Bel Air, and the
Willigs have been longtime friends, and the quartet enjoys visiting
craft breweries around the state and nation. Mark has a passion for home
brewing, and said he got Craig into it. Both men have been colleagues
in the health care field — Mark will operate the brewery full time, and
Craig plans to join him after he retires next year.
I love everything about brewing, particularly the science of it,” Mark said.
Lisa and Donna plan to remain at their full-time jobs; Lisa as the
finance director for the Town of Bel Air and Donna with McCormick &
Company, the Hunt Valley-based flavor, spice and seasonings corporation.
Double Groove is located at 1659 Robin Circle in Forest Hill, next to
the White Tiger Distillery, and it is open to the public Wednesday
through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. People can visit the tap room,
tour the brewery and purchase merchandise, but beer is not expected to
be available until late January — the tentative date is Jan. 22,
according to Mark , although that depends on the brewing process.
Chicago could drop brewing equipment in with a crane
The
unlikely scene unfolding above the Magnificent Mile this week is indeed
Chicago’s robust beer scene growing yet again — a grand entrance for
Crushed By Giants, a taco-themed brewpub opening next spring in a
high-profile home at 600 N. Michigan Ave.
Because the brewing equipment was too wide to squeeze through the
brewpub’s second-floor windows — as was the original plan — the towering
stainless steel vessels are being raised above the building’s
three-story roof, then gently lowered into place, passing through a
vacant space formerly occupied by T.J. Maxx.
Construction began
Monday morning and is expected to continue through late Tuesday,
shutting down two of three lanes on northbound Rush Street between Ohio
and Ontario streets.Crushed by Giants will be the third Chicago brewpub
for Greg Shuff, following DryHop Brewers and Corridor Brewery &
Provisions, both in Lakeview. The latest venture has been the most
challenging, he said, due to its downtown location.
Issues have
included dealing with corporate powerhouse neighbors — AMC Theaters and
Under Armour — unaccustomed to working with a craft brewery. The
equipment, a 15-barrel brewhouse, six fermentation tanks and six serving
tanks, presented an additional and unexpected challenge.
Shuff said
he hopes it will be worth the effort due to the dense population of
residents, workers and tourists in River North, along with the fact
there are relatively few breweries and craft beer bars in the area.
Being in a neighborhood where brewpubs are not has always been my
focus,” Shuff said. There are lots of people there and the right
demographic.”
He hopes to have Crushed by Giants brewing by March
and open in April. The space has sat empty since early 2015, when Heaven
on Seven was ordered to vacate the building due to unpaid rent.
Shuff usually avoids his brewery projects on the day equipment is
installed due to the stress, but couldn’t resist on Monday. He showed up
about 10 a.m.
Equipment up for auction at closed Duel Brewing
Brewing
equipment and other property inside the shuttered Duel Brewing near Meow
Wolf will be auctioned off at 9:30 a.m. April 26 at the former brewery,
1228 Parkway Drive, Unit D.
A legal notice published in the Santa Fe Reporter said the auction follows a lien against Duel Brewing owner Trent Edwards filed by building owner Adams & Miller LTD for unpaid rent, storage fees, cost of collection and other costs in the amount of $31,552.91.
The notice said Edwards entered into a lease with Adams & Miller in March 2012. The registered agent for Adams & Miller is Ronald P. Adams, according to New Mexico Secretary of State incorporation documents.
The auction involves a large amount of brewing equipment, including a 340-gallon brew kettle, cold liquor conicals with stainless coils, a two-ton glycol compressor, a five-ton glycol compressor, a stout three-barrel brewing system, and a brewery control system and electronic control system. There also are a 15-barrel jacketed slim line tall tank, 10-barrel jacketed fermenters, walk-in cooler with draft delivery system, a heat exchanger, a two-station manual keg washer, a 200-pound-per hour grain mill, temperature controllers, pneumatic bottle cappers, valve clamps and fittings.
Duel Brewing closed Jan. 27, and 10 brewery employees subsequently filed claims with the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions for alleged unpaid wages. The department in February issued a subpoena for Edwards to provide financial information, department Secretary Bill McCamley said.
Finding this person has been difficult,” McCamley said. I don’t believe we have heard back [from Edwards regarding the subpoena]. It will be a couple more weeks before we have that information.”
The worst tips for winning the lottery
More than $2.2 billion
is on the table ahead of this week's Mega Millions and Powerball
drawings, and people are losing their minds. Dozens of articles purport
to have "tips" for beating the odds, while other websites offer "advice"
for winners.Get more news about
Most of the advice is very bad, because, I'm sorry, you are absolutely not going to win.
The odds of chancing upon the six-number combination to win the Mega Millions $1.6 billion jackpot is 1 in 302.6 million, while your chances of winning the $620 million Powerball are only marginally better, at 1 in 292 million. The chance of winning both is 1 in 88 quadrillion, which yes, is a real number.
Read on for some of the worst, most boring
advice for would-be lottery winners. And good luck — you're going to
need a lot of it.
Worst advice for winning the lottery:
1. "Buy as many tickets as you can afford."
Do not do this.
2. "If you find a discarded lottery ticket, it's worth taking the time to double-check."
It won't be.
3. "Win a bigger payout by choosing rarer numbers."
This is not how statistics works.
4. "Everyone knows the lottery is a game of chance — but it seems there are certain numbers that are luckier than others."
See above.
5. "When all is said and done, using astrology to help select your lotto game numbers is probably just as good as any other system.
Well, you're not wrong.
6. "When you play a lottery of multiple numbers, it is essential that you tie personal lucky numbers into the calendar day number that the lottery is drawn.

Taylor Russey told the Missouri Lottery that the ticket, which was worth $50,000, was given to her by a regular customer who will buy the rest of the regulars in the bar Lottery tickets every now and then, especially when it’s high.”
And he did that on Saturday — he bought all of us Lottery tickets,” she added.
The staff at the bar found out from the lottery terminal that a $50,000 winning ticket has been sold and Russey questioned patrons and staff.
I was like, ‘Guys, who won all this money and didn’t tell anybody?’” Russey said.She scanned the ticket she had received and saw that she needed to claim her prize at a lottery office, because it was worth $50,000, according to the Missouri Lottery.
Russey’s ticket had four of the five numbers that were drawn on Oct. 19 – 14, 27, 29, 59, 65, and the Powerball was 12.
The draw ticket had originally been purchased at Bleacher’s Bar, in O’Fallon.

According to the NC Education Lottery, Benita Johnson of Asheville couldn’t visit a store to play so she bought her ticket through Online Play on the lottery website.
Johnson matched all five numbers in the March 26 drawing and took home $548,874 after taxes.
My aunt and I were very close,” said Johnson of the special meaning of winning on that day. I cared for her until she passed. The address on my aunt’s house was 326 and that’s the date I won. We always talked about winning the Cash 5. We talked about it all the time. So, I had a little sense of sadness, but grateful for the blessing.”
Johnso said she plans to use the money to pay off her son’s vehicle, donate to her church, and maybe build a new deck for her hand her husband to enjoy.
The NC Education Lottery lifted a requirement for winners to claim their prize in person due to North Carolina’s Stay at Home order.
Shortly after the drawing, Johnson received an email congratulating her on her win. Since she had an online account, the lottery gave her the option of receiving the prize money through electronic funds transfer or by certified check.

The purse sat in the post office’s lost and found for six weeks, until Andre Philippot, an employee who was cleaning up, decided to check the ticket.When Philippot realized it was a $100,000 winner, he brought it to his postal colleagues and they worked with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) to find the rightful owner.
This belonged to somebody, and that somebody probably has a family and this could make a real difference to them,” said Phillipot. When Berard next showed up at the post office, they asked her if she’d recently lost her change purse. She was able to accurately identify the purse, and was directed to the WCLC, who had some long-awaited good news. I’m going to get my little house back in shape.
It needs painting, and I don’t feel like doing it myself — I’m 82 years old!” Berard told 680 CJOB she wasn’t sure where she had lost the change purse, as she’d visited two other businesses after stopping at the post office. She was more upset about losing the purse than she was the ticket inside — not knowing, of course, that it was a winner.WCLC is reminding lotto players to legibly print or sign their legal names on their tickets.
Gold Swings with Enduring Buoyancy
Gold prices are sustaining the consolidation now, but may see a wedge/triangle pattern this month.To get more news about
The FED Governor Lael Brainard stressed that a flexible average
inflation targeting means the inflation may be achieved moderately above
2% for a time, indicating that gold may be more attractive as the
Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) may stick to the status quo at the
monetary policy meeting on September .
At the same time, markets
may continue the current trends with bulls for the U.S. dollar
increasing in this month. According to the IG Client Sentiment report,
retail traders hold net-long USD/CHF, USD/CAD and USD/JPY, while the
crowd remains net-short AUD/USD, NZD/USD, EUR/USD and GBP/USD. The
ongoing tilt in retail sentiment may continue to coincide with the
bullish behavior in gold as the dollar index is verging below the key
support zone.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) requires close attention as it
appears to have bottomed out in August. However, the bullish outlook
will only greet it when both a breach above 70 and a overbought
territory are achieved. This indicator may help to validate the
wedge/triangle formation.
Until then, gold prices may continue to
face range bound conditions. In future tradings, a closing price above
the Fibonacci overlap of $1,971-1,985 is necessary for bringing the
$2025 region back on the radar.

Aussie could continue to underperform following the latest market reactions
The
Aussie underperformed against the majority of the leading currencies
during Monday's trading session. The AUD/USD dropped lower from 0.7235
to 0.7205, down by 0.4%, after the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA)
deputy governor Guy Debelle commented that a weaker Aussie might be good
for the Australian economy.To get more news about
Debelle mentioned that the board is currently watching the
developments in the forex market. Although an intervention might not be
effective, a lower AUD exchange rate might be beneficial to the
Australian economy, he added. The crash in the AUD/USD pair in recent
weeks comes after the pair had rallied by over 1,700 pips over the past
six months.
The Aussie might continue to underperform against the
Greenback after the US Dollar went higher across board on Monday as the
number of Coronavirus cases increase in Europe and Australia. If the
risk-aversion continues, then the AUD/USD pair will likely drop lower
during the day.
At the moment, AUD/USD is trading below the 20-day
moving average and could close the day below the 20-day moving average
of 0.7196. A breakdown of this critical technical barrier will increase
the possibility of changing the medium-term trend of the pair from
bullish to bearish.
Analysts and market participants will be
eagerly awaiting the commentary from Fed Chair Powell due later this
week as it might slow down the Greenback with talks of more monetary
intervention from the Fed. If that happens, then the Aussie might get a
breather, and the AUD/USD pair might perform better. However, if the
upcoming release of global PMI data disappoints, then traders would
reignite risk-aversion, and that could see the AUD/USD plunge lower.
The AUD recorded losses against other leading currencies. The AUD/JPY
pair plummeted from 75.73 to 75.45, following the negative comments
from Debelle amid Tuesday's Asian session. The pair suffered its most
significant loss in two weeks on Monday as the global markets praised
the risk-aversion wave. AUD/JPY sharply fell from 76.221 to 75.609 on
Monday, and at the current rate, it could likely drop further over the
coming hours.
Traders are rushing to the Yen at the moment due to
the increasing talks regarding the national lockdowns in the UK and
Europe backed by the recent rise in Covid-19 cases in the region.
Furthermore, the US-China tension is another catalyst that could be
negatively affecting the Aussie as China is the largest customer of
Australia. The US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, recently thanked
France, Germany, and the UK for their joint effort in rejecting China's
claims in the South China Sea at the United Nations (UN). While the
event intensifies the rivalry between the US and China, China losing the
claims indirectly affects Australia and the Aussie.
The AUD/JPY
pair is in a bearish trend as it is currently trading below the 100-day
moving average. Further risk aversion in the market could see the pair
drop lower and likely approach the 200-day moving average of 72.9.
Following the recent market performance, the pair's 50-day SMA is at its
lowest since August 03, while bearish MACD signals for AUD/JPY indicate
further downside. The Aussie could really do with any good news at the
moment to help it shake off the bearish trends.
