Churches offer tastes of festival favorites

ST. CLAIR SHORES Local festivals usually include entertainment, rides, a beer tent and more, but sometimes the best part of a local event is the food.
That’s why, as crowds continue to be discouraged during the COVID-19 pandemic, local churches are pivoting from hosting traditional festivals where visitors could be packed shoulder-to-shoulder to drive-thru and carryout events where visitors can at least get a taste of the celebration.
Dina Ciaffone, business manager at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, 21620 Greater Mack Ave., and a co-chair of the church’s annual festival, said the organization was unable to hold its festival last May and relied solely upon its raffle for fundraising in 2020. Typically, the St. Joan of Arc festival draws thousands for its midway rides and games, children’s games and activities, a beer tent, carnival food, and more.

Investment groups caution over shortcuts in listings review
One group said: There is a sense they are caving in on this

Investment groups have urged the government to proceed with caution over tweaks to listing rules that the Chancellor hopes will attract a new wave of technology floats in a “Big Bang” for the City.
A raft of new measures, proposed as part of a review into public markets by Lord Hill, include reducing the requirements for a free float and allowing dual class shares in premium segments of the market such as the FTSE 100.
However, some groups have warned the proposals could weaken governance. George Dallas, policy director at the International Corporate Governance Network which has members that manage $54tn in assets, said: “There is an idolatry for these tech companies that for some reason allows governance shortcuts to be made.

The beginning of presidential terms is marked with pomp and ceremony celebrating a new chapter in America s story, but what happens when no one is quite sure when, exactly, the page is supposed to be turned what if, in other words, one chapter ends before another begins. Does America go leaderless, if only for the briefest of moments?
This is the Forgotten History of the President for a Day.
The presidential election of 1848 was a bitterly contested one, as Zachary Taylor, a hero of the Mexican-American War, narrowly defeated Democrat Lewis Cass. Incumbent Democrat James K. Polk had decided not to seek re-election, and Taylor’s Whig Party was set to assume control of the White House for the first time since William Henry Harrison’s 31-day term in 1841, the shortest in American history.
