Woman who spent £50k on house says it was left in 'horrendous' state

＜更新日時＞ 07月08日（土） 19:45

A woman has slammed the 'horrendous' state of her house after spending more than £50,000 on building work only for it to abruptly stop leaving her with a large repair bill and 'no kitchen.'

IT worker Lisa Morris, 50, says she hired a company called Eva-Lution to renovate her Llanharan home but the work suddenly stopped last November.

She says she paid the builders £52,900 for work including a kitchen extension - but she claims her kitchen has been left with exposed wires, bare brick walls and evdeN Eve nakliYAt no ceiling.

Now Ms Morris, claims her property has 'no kitchen, having ripped the previous kitchen out' and that she is 'emotionally and physically exhausted' and living on 'microwave and air fryer meals.'

Ms Morris only inherited the property in 2021 after her father and stepmother were tragically hit and evDEN EVe naKLiYat killed by a motorbike whilst walking. 

Lisa Morris, 50, says that the renovation works have cost her over £50k and still aren't done 

Ms Morris says she has been forced to live in the half finished house for weeks 

She said: 'What makes it worse is that it's their house.I was renovating it with money my dad had gifted me shortly before he passed away. 

'The house was all I had left of them. I'm emotionally and physically exhausted - this has consumed my life for months. 

'I took time off work but I've had to go back because I can't afford not to work, with the situation I'm in.'

Eva-Lution, whose director is 27-year-old Chloe Eva, had eight employees in 2022, according to Companies House. 

Ms Eva denied the work on Ms Morris' home was of a poor standard and claimed it was halted due to a 'cash flow issue'. 

She said Ms Morris rejected the offer of a £24,544 refund for parts of the job left unfinished.

Ms Morris, who previously lived in rented accommodation, had hoped the renovation would be complete by the time she moved into the house. 

She heard about Eva-Lution in June last year through a recommendation and paid a £3,500 deposit the following month.

As work progressed over the following weeks, Ms Morris transferred more money for materials. 

In early September she went to Howdens with a member of Eva-Lution's team and chose a kitchen. 

She transferred £11,000 to Eva-Lution but claims she only later learned that Howdens had never received payment for the kitchen. 

Ms Morris says the state of the house has impacted her mental health 

The garden is still half finished and scattered with building materials 

According to Ms Eva, her company had ordered the kitchen but had not paid Howdens.

An Eva-Lution worker told Ms Morris by text that all the upstairs, living room and front-of-house work would be done by October 16, adding: 'Hopefully we will have the extension built with just the inside left to do.' 

Because of this she arranged the end of her tenancy for October 16 but she claims it eventually became 'apparent that the house wouldn't be liveable' by that date, so she extended her lease by a month.

Ms Morris claims she moved in on November 5 with no kitchen, no cloakroom, an unfinished hallway and a garden 'like a building site'. 

She added: 'I went on holiday on November 12 and was told that the frame of the extension would be up by the time I got home.Again this did not materialise.'

On November 28 the company told Ms Morris there was a cash flow issue but a £250,000 investment would be in its accounts by December 2. 

'I was also told at this point that they didn't even have enough money to pay for the cement, so I gave them £400 to get the necessary materials so the footings could be completed,' she added.

Eva-Lution workers have not attended Ms Morris' home since the end of November when concrete was laid for footings. 

She alleges that the extension's timber frame never arrived and that another builder has since told her the footings were laid incorrectly and will have to be removed. 

Ms Eva disputes this and claims the footings were laid after consultation with a structural engineer. 

She added: 'I do not believe the work carried out was to a poor standard, and during the works no issue or complaint was raised about the quality or standard of work.'

Ms Morris said the job was meant to cover a fully fitted kitchen with appliances.'I have contacted the suppliers of these materials and Evden EVe nAkLiyat they have confirmed that Eva-Lution never paid for them despite me giving them the money,' claimed Ms Morris, who reported a complaint of fraud.

Wires hang down from the ceiling in the property which has not been completed 

Responding to the claim of fraud, Ms Eva said staff stopped working on Ms Morris' property due to a cash flow issue after her own company was a 'victim of fraudulent activity and non-payment of invoices' by another business. If you loved this information and you would certainly such as to receive even more information regarding EvDEn Eve nAKliYAT kindly see the web site.  

Asked about the investment, she claimed this was set to be completed at the beginning of January but 'when the funds were due to be transferred, there was an issue due to the fraud case that Ms Morris has put on the business bank account'.

'By this time, other accounts and clients then had further frustrations with needing to wait for works to re-commence, and the investor pulled out due to there being so many issues,' said Ms Eva. 

'If the fraud case was not on the account, the funds would have gone through and we could be in a position to resolve any company conflicts.'

She added that the kitchen was ordered through Howdens but Eva-Lution was waiting for the investment to come through before the kitchen could be obtained.Eva-Lution offered to pay Ms Morris £24,544, which Ms Eva described as a 'fair refund' due to work already completed. 

'This included the purchase price of the kitchen which, due to the issue and us not being able to obtain the investment funds, was not settled,' said Ms Eva.

Ms Eva claimed funds had never been taken from clients to cover business overheads but she said Eva-Lution was hit by the alleged fraud of another company.

She said:  'Due to the situation we found ourselves in...direct debits and standing orders of Eva-Lution were still being taken from our account which ate into funds we had received from clients. 

'This is not how we have run the company through the duration. However, due to the circumstance/situation this is what happened.Again, this is why Ms Morris was offered the settlement figure, to cover this cost.'

Ms Morris, who claims her home needs around £40,000 worth of repairs, has declined the offer of £24,544 and sent a letter before action to Eva-Lution, which has begun the process of liquidation.

'It was never our intention for the company to go into liquidation,' said Ms Eva, but she confirmed there have been other threats of legal action and described liquidation as 'our safest option as a company'.

Ms Morris has been relying on a microwave and air fryer to cook since moving in. 'When I moved in, I was only expecting to live like this for a week,' she said, adding that upcoming repair costs will leave her struggling financially.

Aside from the kitchen, Ms Morris claims a downstairs toilet and vanity unit are among the items paid for but never installed. 

Ms Eva defended her company's work which she says included new internal doors, plastering, painting, electrical works in the living room, a new upstairs bathroom, new radiators, rubbish removal, new light fittings, fitting of blinds supplied by Ms Morris, EVDEN EVE NakliYat wardrobe work, re-routing of drainage and plumbing, and the 'beginning of the extension'.

Ms Eva added: 'If there was an issue with the quality it should have been brought to our attention before now. 

'Ms Morris was offered for the staff to return to the property before Christmas, which she denied and advised she was taking legal action and we were not to return.'

Pia Miller says she 'truly hates' Balenciaga

＜更新日時＞ 07月08日（土） 19:44

Pia Whitesell (nee Miller) has said she 'truly hates' amid the fashion house's BDSM-inspired child photoshoot scandal.

The star, 39, took to her Instagram story on Tuesday to slam the brand.

'I hate.I mean truly hate Balenciaga,' she wrote.

Pia has two children of her own, Isaiah, 20, who she welcomed when she was just 19 and  Lennox, 16, who she shares with AFL-star ex-husband Brad Miller.

The Chilean-born star relocated from Australia to live in Los Angeles with her multimillionaire Hollywood agent husband Patrick last year. 

Her comments come as a bevvy of stars who have previously worked with the Parisian brand have been lambasted for not speaking out after they released a disturbing holiday ad campaign featuring child models posing with its Plush Toy Bag, which resembled teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear.

In the shoot, the children also appeared to be surrounded by empty wine and champagne glasses, further contributing to the disturbing setting.

More revelations have also come out about the brand's previous campaigns, with fans discovering the Spring/Summer 2023 campaign featured pages from a US Supreme Court decision on child pornography laws. 

In a lengthy apology statement on Monday, the fashion house took full responsibility for the teddy bear images but insisted it had no involvement in the photoshoot featuring child porn legislation. 

Balenciaga triggered outrage with its 2022 Holiday advertising campaign, which depicted children holding teddy bears that were dressed in bondage attire (pictured)  

Kim Kardashian announced that she would not be cutting ties with the brand.  

The billionaire, who has worked with the brand for several years, said that while she was 'shaken' and EvdeN evE NakLiYAT 'disgusted' to see the images, especially as a 'mother-of-four,' she 'believes Balenciaga understands the seriousness of the issue.'

She added that she was 're-evaluating her relationship' with the brand 'based off its willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with' - but many social media users were angered that she didn't condemn the fashion house further.

Her sister Kylie Jenner, has hit back at TikTok users accusing her of deliberately posting photos of her son to detract from the scandal .

Nicole Kidman and Bella Hadid, who have both modelled for the brand, are facing growing calls to comment on the controversy.

Ruby Tuesday Matthews, an outspoken influencer based in Byron Bay, has also blasted the brand for seemingly shifting the blame in its official apology statement this week. 

She wrote to Instagram on Tuesday: 'This is your apology Balenciaga?As a brand I've admired and loved for years I'm so angry at this response'.

'To my fellow "influencers" who are the first to post on trend handbags, push designer goods and go to the upscale events, your silence is deafening,' the mother-of-three continued in a subsequent post. 

Balenciaga, which is popular with A-list celebrities including the likes of Kim Kardashian - has deleted two shocking images showing two young girls holding a teddy bear in bondage style gear on the gift shop section of its website

After the BDSM bears fiasco, eagle-eyed critics started examining the rest of Balenciaga's campaigns closely.They soon discovered that in the background of an image from the Spring '23 campaign was a printout of a Supreme Court ruling on whether or not internet child porn can be legally considered free speech (pictured)

'You still have time to be a voice for children. To use your platform for good. I'm sure you'll still be invited to the events and EvdeN EVe naKliYAT get your free bags.Because they will need a PR miracle after this,' she added.

Balenciaga ignored the scandal around the teddy bear photos at first and seemingly allowed the photographer who was involved, Gabriele Galimberti, to take the heat. 

He released a statement saying he had no control over the content of the shoot and eventually, Balenciaga released its own statement agreeing with him and taking responsibility for the campaign. 

Kim initially issued a statement on her Instagram Stories account on Sunday night

In an additional post, this time to both Twitter and Instagram, Kardashian said she was reconsidering her relationship with the fashion brand

It has now been pulled from the internet. 

After the BDSM bears fiasco, eagle-eyed critics started examining the rest of Balenciaga's campaigns closely. 

They soon discovered that in the background of an image from the Spring '23 campaign was a printout of a Supreme Court ruling on whether or not internet child porn can be legally considered free speech. 

On the back of the bears scandal, many critics said it pointed to a troubling pattern within Balenciaga. 

Balenciaga was quick to blame North Six, a production company that helped arrange the shoot, for the inclusion of those documents. 

On Sunday Kim Kardashian (pictured), EVDen EVE NAkliyAt the brand's biggest ambassador, said she is 're-evaluating' her relationship with the fashion house in light of the scandal, but fell short of distancing herself from the brand for good 

This is the July ad campaign which featured the printout of the US Supreme Court child porn ruling 

They claimed they entrusted all of the props from the photoshoot to North Six, and that their team was assured everything that was included was fake. 

Balenciaga is yet to answer for the inclusion of a book by Michael Borremans in the background of two of the images from the Spring '23 campaign. 

Borremans is a Belgian painter whose work includes a troubling 2017 series called Fire From The Sun. 

It depicts naked toddlers - some of them castrated - playing in a group and at times alone. 

U.S. weekly jobless claims increase, labor market remains tight

＜更新日時＞ 07月08日（土） 10:58

Weekly jobless claims increase 13,000 to 196,000

*

Four-week moving average of claims falls 2,500 to 189,250

*

Continuing claims rise 38,000 to 1.688 million

By Lucia Mutikani

WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits increased more than expected last week, but the underlying trend continued to point to a tight labor market.

The jobs market has remained resilient despite growing economic headwinds from the Federal Reserve's interest rate increases.While labor market strength keeps the U.S. central policy on its monetary policy tightening path, it also suggests that a much anticipated recession is nowhere near.

"We would be crying wolf if we said we thought there was a recession signal in the weekly unemployment claims data this week," said Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS in New York."Recession is not around the corner with layoffs this low, and the downturn, if it is coming at all, is months away."

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 13,000 to a seasonally adjusted 196,000 for evdeN eVE NAkLiyAT the week ended Feb.4, the Labor Department said on Thursday. That was the first increase in claims since the second last week of December. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 190,000 claims for the latest week.

The four-week moving average of claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it strips out week-to-week volatility, fell 2,500 to 189,250, the lowest level since last April.Unadjusted claims rose 9,628 to 234,654 last week.

There was a jump in claims in California as well as notable increases in Ohio and Illinois. Those rises offset decreases in Georgia, New Jersey and Texas.

Claims have remained low despite high-profile layoffs in the technology industry as well as the interest rate-sensitive finance and housing sectors.Walt Disney and Zoom Video Communications added to the growing list of companies laying off workers, announcing 7,000 and 1,300 jobs cuts, respectively, this week.

Economists say most of the companies, especially in the technology industry, overhired during the COVID-19 pandemic.They noted that small businesses continued to seek workers.

There is anecdotal evidence that companies are generally reluctant to lay off workers after experiencing difficulties recruiting during the pandemic.

Workers remain scarce in some industries.There were 1.9 job openings for every unemployed person in December, government data showed last week. According to an Institute for eVdEN eve NaKliyat Supply Management survey last Friday, some services businesses in January reported they were "unable to hire qualified labor," saying that "supply is thin."

U.S.stocks opened higher. The dollar fell against a basket of currencies. U.S. Treasury prices rose.

STRONG JOBS MARKET

Economists speculated that severance packages were delaying the filing of unemployment benefits claims, while the abundance of vacancies made it easier for laid-off workers to find jobs.

"If the company offers severance, the claims are not counted until the severance expires," said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC Financial in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania."But even so, the job market remains remarkably strong."

Economists also believed that seasonal adjustment factors, the model the government uses to strip out seasonal fluctuations from the data, were keeping claims lower.

The seasonal adjustment factors for 2023 will be updated at the end of March.Applying the average seasonal factors for the prior two years with the same calendar configuration as 2023 would put claims at 210,000 in the latest week and a four-week average of 200,000, according to Conrad DeQuadros, senior economic advisor at Brean Capital.

"Nonetheless, this would still be a low reading on claims and indicate that either involuntary separations remain low and/ or those who lose their jobs are quickly re-employed elsewhere," DeQuadros said."There is no sign of easing of labor market tightness here."

The claims report also showed the number of people receiving benefits after an initial week of aid, a proxy for EvDeN EvE nakliyat hiring, rose 38,000 to 1.688 million during the week ending Jan. 28.

Lower layoffs have been a major contributor to strong job gains.The government reported last Friday that nonfarm payrolls surged by 517,000 jobs in January, the most in six months, after rising by 260,000 in December. The unemployment rate fell to more than a 53-1/2-year low of 3.4% from 3.5% in December.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Tuesday that the central bank's fight to tame inflation could last "quite a bit of time," in a nod to January's blowout job gains.If you loved this information and you wish to obtain more info concerning eVDen eVE nAkLiYAT generously visit our own web site.

At the beating heart of Moscow, directly opposite the Kremlin on the eastern side of Red Square, you’ll find Russia’s most famous shopping mall

＜更新日時＞ 07月08日（土） 01:04

At the beating heart of Moscow, directly opposite the Kremlin on the eastern side of Red Square, you'll find Russia's most famous shopping mall.

Known as GUM, the ornate neo-classical building sits a stone's throw from St Basil's cathedral and the mausoleum of Lenin, the man who attempted to overthrow capitalism. 

Yet it has, in recent years, been filled with 'landmark' stores owned by luxury brands anxious to soak up the cash being liberally sprayed around by the post-Soviet oligarch class.

When they aren't applauding the tanks that occasionally rumble over nearby cobblestones, cronies of Vladimir flock to this marble-floored emporium, arm-in-arm with their high-maintenance wives, mistresses and girlfriends to spend ill-gotten roubles on handbags, Tiffany jewellery and Hugo Boss suits.

One of the still open Brtish shops is Paul Smith, the Nottingham-based purveyor of stripy scarves and modish menswear that its eponymous multi-millionaire founder and owner likes to describe as 'classic with a twist'

Also open for business is GUM's branch of Agent Provocateur, the upscale English underwear brand popularised by Kate Moss in the 1990s.It is also stocking designs from the new season

At least they did. In late February last year, everything changed. That was when their autocratic President decided to invade Ukraine, turning Russia into a global pariah overnight.

As Putin's soldiers raped and EVDEn eve nAkliyAT murdered their way across the country, Western consumer brands began responding to public revulsion by literally shutting up shop. 

Within weeks, the UK, EU and many Western countries had imposed sanctions to prevent fresh supplies of luxury goods from reaching Russia.

Today, the GUM centre's Chanel, Tiffany and Hugo Boss outlets have closed their doors. If you loved this information and you would certainly such as to receive more facts regarding eVDeN EVe naKliyaT kindly see the web site.  

You can no longer shop for shoes by Jimmy Choo or John Lobb, or handbags from the houses of Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Hermes. 

As they boarded up their boutiques and cancelled shipments of fresh stock to Russia, these famous purveyors of luxury goods simultaneously issued earnest PR statements expressing their desire to, as the saying goes, 'stand with Ukraine'.

But today, almost a year after Putin's tanks rolled over the border, shopaholics of the Russian elite aren't entirely out of luck.

For beneath the building's glass-domed roof, the Mail this week made a scandalous discovery: outposts of not one, but two famous British luxury brands are very much still open for business.

One is Paul Smith, the Nottingham-based purveyor of stripy scarves and modish menswear that its eponymous multi-millionaire founder and owner likes to describe as 'classic with a twist'.

While their compatriots fire missiles into Kyiv's schools and apartment blocks, I can reveal Russians are still rattling the tills at the local Paul Smith boutique from 10am to 10pm, seven days a week, happy to fork out 16,900 roubles (£197) for one of the brand's signature colourful ties and much else.

The shelves remain well-stocked with many of the very latest Paul Smith products.

Indeed, on Wednesday an assistant attempted to flog our reporter an 'embossed leather folio' — a sort of briefcase — from the firm's 'new season' range, which only went on sale in the UK a few weeks back. Its price?A trifling 90,000 roubles, or £1,050.

Scandalously, the man whose firm made (and is therefore profiting from) this expensive trinket is not just a Knight of the Realm.

For in addition to being honoured by Tony Blair in the heyday of Cool Britannia — having served on New Labour's Creative Industries Task Force — Sir Paul Smith, 76, was last year invited to Buckingham Palace so that Prince William could elevate him to membership of the Order of Companions of Honour, one of the highest gongs available to anyone in the creative industry.

For example, Barbour, EVdEn Eve NAKLiyaT which used to have a franchise outlet at GUM, refused to ship a single item of new stock there from the day of the invasion and has now exited

A fifth historic British brand, the former Crown jeweller Garrard — which like Farlows has a Royal Warrant — was this week advertising no fewer than ten Russian stockists on its UK website, apparently under the terms of a supply deal that pre-dates the invasion of Ukraine

The Moral Ratings Agency, a lobby group which monitors Western firms operating in Russia, describes his firm's presence there as a 'disgrace', telling the Mail Sir Paul ought to get his brand out of Russia or be stripped of his titles.

A few doors down from Paul Smith's red-fronted shop — and also open for business — you'll find GUM's branch of Agent Provocateur, the upscale English underwear brand EVden eVE naKLiyAt popularised by Kate Moss in the 1990s. It is also stocking designs from the new season.

One of no fewer than ten Russian Agent Provocateur boutiques that are still open — all of which remain advertised on its British website — we found it selling crystal-embossed leather bondage whips for 73,000 roubles (£850), bejewelled pink brassieres for EvDEN Eve NaKLiyaT 110,000 roubles (£,1280) and thongs for up to 85,000 roubles (£990) each.

An assistant told us the last shipment of new stock arrived shortly before Christmas and a new one is due in March — just in time for International Women's Day.

Again, it's hard to see how this British luxury goods firm squares its presence in Moscow with the supposed values listed on its website. 

Shamelessly, given Russia's ongoing use of rape as a weapon of war, Agent Provocateur claims to be dedicated to promoting 'fearless femininity' and is 'adhering to the highest standard of ethics'.

The firm's current owner, high street tycoon Mike Ashley is, however, no stranger to cutting lucrative business deals in questionable dictatorships. 

His moral compass was seemingly untroubled by his recent sale — for more than twice what he had paid — of football club Newcastle United to a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium.

Once they have stocked up on clothes and lingerie, every good oligarch needs a bespoke Rolls-Royce to whisk them from central Moscow to their gaudy dacha.

Which takes us to the British luxury car firm's main Russian showroom, on the ground floor of an upscale hotel just across the Moskva river, roughly two miles west of Red Square.

Rolls-Royce insists it no longer sells new cars in Russia, claiming in a holier-than-thou media announcement that: 'We stand for the peaceful co-existence of all cultures all over the world, in all times and at all locations.'

United and Liverpool lack London postcode to get 'prices they floated'

Former Liverpool chairman Sir Martin Broughton has questioned the valuations that the owners of the Reds and Manchester United have placed on their clubs.

A fake builder who scammed 11 people out of more than £1million and left families with wrecked homes has been jailed for three years.

Richard Nicholls, 38, an estate agent and salesman, had no experience in construction when he started taking on the building work.

Airbus and Qatar Airways settle bitter A350 jet row

＜更新日時＞ 07月07日（金） 06:45

By Tim Hepher

PARIS, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Airbus and Qatar Airways have settled a dispute over grounded A350 jets, the companies said on Wednesday, averting a potentially damaging UK court trial after a blistering 18-month feud that tore the lid off the global jet market.

The "amicable and mutually agreeable settlement" ends a $2 billion row over surface damage on the long-haul jets.The spat led to the withdrawal of billions of dollars' worth of jet deals by Airbus and prompted Qatar to increase purchases from Boeing.

The cancelled orders for 23 undelivered A350s and 50 smaller A321neos have been restored under the new deal, which is also expected to see Airbus pay several hundred million dollars to the Gulf carrier, while winning a reprieve from other claims.

Financial details were not publicly disclosed.

The companies said neither admitted liability.Both pledged to drop claims and "move forward and work together as partners".

The deal heads off what amounted to an unprecedented public divorce trial between heavyweights in the normally tight-knit and secretive $150 billion jet industry.

The two sides had piled up combined claims and counter-claims worth about $2 billion ahead of the June trial.

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire welcomed the deal, which came in the wake of increasing political involvement amid close ties between France, where Airbus is based, and Qatar.

"It is the culmination of significant joint efforts. It is excellent news for the French aerospace industry," he said.

Airbus shares closed up 1% before the announcement.

Qatar Airways had taken the unusual step of publicly challenging the world's largest planemaker over safety after paint cracks exposed gaps in a sub-layer of lightning protection on its new-generation A350 carbon-composite jets.

Airbus had acknowledged quality flaws but, backed by European regulators, had insisted that the jets were safe and accused the airline of exaggerating flaws to win compensation.

DAMAGES

Supported by a growing army of lawyers, both sides repeatedly bickered in preliminary hearings over access to documents, to the growing frustration of a judge forced to order co-operation.

Analysts said the deal would allow both sides to feel vindicated, eVDEN EVE NakLiYAt with Qatar Airways winning damages and recognition that the problem lay outside the manual and therefore required a new repair, and Airbus standing its ground on safety and spared the difficult task of finding a home for cancelled A350s.

Qatar will get the in-demand EVDEN eve nAKliYAT A321neos needed to plan its growth, albeit three years later than expected, in 2026.Airbus' decision to revoke that order, separate from the disputed A350 contract, had been criticised by global airlines group IATA.

Airbus said it had done its best to avoid pushing Qatar too far back in the queue, though some experts question whether it could have met the earlier schedule because of supply problems.

The settlement is also expected to stop the clock ticking on a claim for grounding compensation that had been growing by $6 million a day, triggered by a clause agreed upon after the repainting of a jet for the World Cup revealed significant surface damage.

Originally valued at $200,000 per day per plane, Airbus' theoretical liability was ratcheting upwards by a total of $250,000 an hour for 30 jets - or $2 billion a year - by the time the deal was struck, based on court filings.Neither side commented on settlement details.

Airbus said it would now work with the airline and evdEN eVE nAkliYat regulators to provide the necessary "repair solution" and return Qatar's 30 grounded planes to the air.

Confirmation of a settlement came after Reuters reported a deal could arrive as early as Wednesday.In 2021, a Reuters investigation revealed other airlines had been affected by A350 skin degradation, EvdeN EVE nAKLiYaT all of whom said it was "cosmetic".

The dispute has focused attention on the design of modern carbon-fibre jets, which do not interact as smoothly with paint as traditional metal ones, and shed light on industrial methods.If you have any inquiries concerning where and how to use eVDEN EVe NAKliyAt, you could call us at our web site.

MOSCOW, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Russian gold and silver producer Polymetal is negotiating with British authorities to keep its London listing in the form of global depositary receipts (GDR) after the company moves to Kazakhstan, EVDEn evE nakLiYAT the company's CEO told Reuters.

Polymetal last month said it was considering moving its parent company's domicile and primary listing, currently in Jersey and London respectively, to "Russia-friendly" Kazakhstan, which "could unblock the ability to execute further corporate actions".

The move would allow the company to spin off the Kazakh business, EvDEn EvE nAkliyat which accounts for about 38% of revenue and 32% of annual production. While domiciled in Jersey, deemed an "unfriendly" jurisdiction by Russia, no separation of assets is possible.

"We want to take the Kazakh business out of the shadows, out from under the canopy of sanctions," CEO Vitaly Nesis told Reuters."That's why we have to split up the company first."

Nesis said the company's management was in discussions with the London Stock Exchange, the FCA regulator evDEn EvE NakliYaT and service providers about retaining a form of LSE listing after the move to Astana and was counting on clarity within 1-2 months.

"We are applying maximum efforts to maintain our listing in London, but given the recent, ninth sanctions package...the task is not simple. Many service providers are reluctant even to engage in dialogue about securing a listing after the move."

The decision about changing the listing will be put to shareholders and requires 75% approval.The European Union's ninth sanctions package bars investment in Russia's mining industry.

Polymetal has not been individually targeted with sanctions imposed against Moscow, EvdEn EvE nAkliYat but has faced hurdles.

Shares in the miner have slumped almost 80% in London since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on Feb.If you liked this report and you would like to get a lot more information relating to EvdeN EVE NAkLiyaT kindly take a look at our web-site. 24 last year. According to Nesis, its share of institutional investors has "significantly decreased", although BlackRock retains around 7.5%.

Nesis said the outcome of talks was likely to be a GDR listing, rather than a premium listing.

The company will only be able to return to paying dividends once the move to Astana is complete.

He said sales have already been separated - the business in Kazakhstan sells all its gold to the central bank, while in Russia last year the majority of metal was sold to Asia.

But starting from 2023, Polymetal has returned to Russia's rapidly growing domestic market with gold sales from its Russian assets, Nesis said, and is not engaged in export.(Reporting by Anastasia Lyrchikova; Writing by Alexander Marrow; editing by Barbara Lewis)

Seven out of 10 dry shampoos still on grocery store shelves contain detectable levels of a cancer-causing chemical — despite recent recalls of dozens of popular brands

Seven out of 10 dry shampoos still on grocery store shelves contain detectable levels of a cancer-causing chemical — despite recent recalls of dozens of popular brands.

Research by a laboratory in tested a random sample of 148 different products sold in CVS, Walgreens and by online retailers like Amazon across the country.

Some 70 per cent were positive for benzene, a known carcinogen which is strongly linked to leukemia and other blood disorders.Among those that contained the chemical were drug-store brand favorites Batiste and Not Your Mother's — alongside premium brands Pureology and Kerastase.

Benzene levels varied by bottles, but nine were found to have at least 10 times the legal limit.One product — Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Texturizing Coconut — had nearly 80 times the threshold.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — which regulates beauty and cosmetic products — told DailyMail.com today it was reviewing the findings.

Contamination may come from inactive petroleum-derived ingredients, a thickening agent, EVdEN eVE NAKLiyAt or eVDEN eVE NAkLiYaT isobutane, a spray propellant. 

Manufacturers including Church & Dwight — which makes Batiste — refuted the results, EVdEn Eve NaKliyAT saying it had recently 'confirmed' with its suppliers that the dry shampoos don't contain benzene.

It comes after millions of bottles of dry shampoo bottles from Dove, TRESemme and Bed Head were recalled across America last week after they were found to contain Benzene. 

People who purchased the shampoos were urged to stop using them and visit the Unilever — the conglomerate that manufactured them — website for a full refund.

Pictured above are the brands that were found to contain benzene, a known carcinogen. Valisure, an independent lab in Connecticut which carried out the tests, has contacted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ask it to issue a recall of the brands.In the event you loved this short article and you wish to receive much more information about eVDEN eVe NAKLiYaT please visit the webpage.

Benzene is at the top of the FDA's list of dangerous solvents.

It is considered a 'Class 1 solvent' that 'should not be employed in the manufacture of drug substances, excipients, and drug products because of their unacceptable toxicity'. 

Inhaling or EvDEN EVE NaKLiyaT absorbing the chemical over a long period of time can have devastating health effects because it causes cells in the body to work incorrectly.
