Last weekend, a fire burning in California’s Sierra National Forest exploded in size, trapping hundreds of Labor Day holiday campers who could only be rescued by helicopters that made a series of white-knuckle flights into the smoke.

On Wednesday, a wildfire in Plumas National Forest northeast of San Francisco spread 25 miles in a day and devoured an estimated 400 square miles (1,036 square kilometers), In between those events, a massive fire in Monterey County doubled in size overnight,.

Private labels share in modern trade grows as covid turns shoppers economical

NEW DELHI : Share of private labels across modern trade format stores between December-February to July 2020 rose from 3.5% to 5% as unavailability of top brands during India's peak lockdown and consumer pivot to affordable brands helped them gain share in modern trade stores, market researcher Nielsen said.This was visible across categories of fast-moving consumer goods, largely foods, such as packaged flour, liquid toilet soaps, frozen foods, non-refined oils, branded honey—all of which gained share over the last six to seven months.
