U.S. farmers running out of opportunities to sell corn at profit Posted: 30 Jun 2017 12:14 PM PDT By Mark Weinraub WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. farmers who have been holding out for higher prices for their corn may finally sell their grain below target levels in the next few weeks as a government report released on Friday underscores the huge supplies left in storage bins around the country, analysts said. The U.S. Agriculture Department said that farmers still had 2.841 billion bushels of corn in their storage bins as of June 1, the fifth most ever for that time period. It was the highest June 1 on-farm corn storage recording in 29 years and an indication that the market could remain under pressure until harvest.

13 All-American Jell-O Shots For Your Fourth Of July Party Posted: 30 Jun 2017 08:55 AM PDT

New conflicts threaten Syria after Islamic State defeat Posted: 30 Jun 2017 06:11 AM PDT By Michael Georgy and John Walcott RAQQA, Syria/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sheen Ibrahim's track record fighting ultra-hardline militants explains U.S. President Donald Trump's policy of arming Syrian Kurds like her as he seeks to eradicate Islamic State. Taught by her brother to fire an AK-47 at 15 and encouraged by her mother to fight for Syrian Kurdish autonomy, she says she has killed 50 people since she took up arms in Syria's six-year-old civil war, fighting first al Qaeda, then crossing into Iraq to help Kurds there against Islamic State. Now 26, she leads a 15-woman unit hunting down the hardline group in its global headquarters Raqqa, speeding through streets once controlled by the militants in a pick-up truck as fellow fighters comb through ruined buildings for booby traps.

In a television interview to mark the anniversary, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald dela Rosa appeared irritated by questions about the Reuters report, published on Thursday, and said police carrying out anti-drugs operations had a duty to save lives, even when encountering violent resistance.

Will the Galaxy Note 8 beat the iPhone 7 Plus in the 2017 camera wars? Posted: 29 Jun 2017 06:49 PM PDT The Galaxy Note 8 will have the best camera Samsung ever made. That's something I could tell you right off the bat, without even looking at rumors and leaks. That's because Samsung improves the camera experience on its flagship handsets every year, looking to fulfill its longtime dream to beat Apple in every department. But it just so happens that there's a new Galaxy Note 8 camera rumor in town that says the phone's dual-lens setup will be better than anyone else's, implying that it'll beat the iPhone 7 Plus in this round of the camera wars. According to SamMobile's insiders, the Galaxy Note 8's camera will "offer better image quality and better background defocus (in portrait mode) than competing smartphones with similar dual-camera solutions." That sounds great, of course, especially as there are plenty of phones to feature dual lens shooters, including the iPhone 7 Plus, the recently launched OnePlus 5, the LG G6, the Huawei P10, and others. The Galaxy Note 8 is expected to feature a dual lens setup with 13-megapixel sensors on each lens, the report says. One will RGB and the other monochrome. We're looking at f/2.0 lenses, and optical image stabilization is apparently included. It's very likely the camera setup will be marketed as Isocell Dual. Samsung's looking to establish a strong Isocell brand for smartphone cameras, and Isocell Dual is the sub-brand that will likely apply to the Galaxy Note 8. Oh, and yes, we definitely expect the Galaxy Note 8 to be the first flagship smartphone to sport a dual lens camera. The rumors said so for months, and the first images based on CAD designs, including one that BGR obtained earlier this week, seem to confirm it. All that remains now is to wait until late August when Samsung should unveil the Galaxy Note 8 in New York.

China's Xi draws 'red line' in Hong Kong as protesters march Posted: 01 Jul 2017 12:46 AM PDT China's President Xi Jinping warned on Saturday that any challenge to Beijing's control over Hong Kong crossed a "red line", as thousands calling for more democracy marched through the city 20 years since it was handed back by Britain. Xi spoke in a televised address after swearing in new Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, who is already being cast by critics as a China stooge in a city where many are angry at Beijing's tightening grip on the freedoms of its nearly eight million people. A huge security operation shut down large parts of Hong Kong for Xi's three-day visit, reflecting Beijing's concern that there should be no embarrassment ahead of a key Communist Party congress later this year which is expected to cement his position as the most powerful Chinese leader in a generation.

Samsung is investing billions in manufacturing plants for the next iPhones Posted: 30 Jun 2017 05:00 PM PDT When you think of Samsung and smartphones, chances are you're imagining the Galaxy S8 or a gently smoldering Galaxy Note 7. But as well as making its own smartphones, Samsung is also a significant supplier of components to its rival, including Apple. Since there's only a couple months left until the iPhone 8 is made official, we already have a good idea that Samsung is going to have a hand in supplying OLED panels for Apple's latest and greatest. But according to a new supply chain rumor, Samsung isn't going to stop there. ETNews quotes supply chain sources as saying that Samsung will shortly invest billions of dollars into a pair of new plants for producing OLED panels. The plants won't be up and churning out displays until 2019, but when they are, they'll represent a significant portion of the overall OLED supply. With Apple expected to transition its entire iPhone lineup to OLED panels in the next two years (and Apple is the Pied Piper of component design choices), demand is set to explode. Samsung plans to be sitting there, bucket of panels in one hand and bank account in the other. The price tag is significant: approximately $21 billion over the next few years. The end result should be a total production capacity of 270,000 panels per month. That should be sufficient for Samsung to keep its dominance of the OLED panel market, which has obvious immediate benefits for Samsung's displays division. But it also means that Apple will have to stay on good terms with Samsung, even as Apple's Chinese manufacturing partner makes new moves into the display business.

IMF to participate for 'last time' in Greek bailout: Schaeuble Posted: 01 Jul 2017 06:30 AM PDT The International Monetary Fund, a key creditor in Greece's bailout, will not participate in any further rescues of the debt-wracked country, Germany's finance minister told a Greek newspaper Saturday.

The German finance chief has been inflexible on the issue of Greek debt relief, in opposition to the IMF which says it needs to be done to breathe new life into Greece's floundering economy.

With the exception of the ultra-conservative Aceh province, homosexuality is legal in Indonesia.
