Detroit grocery store options are growing: The first Detroit Gordon Food Service Store opened Monday at 2760 E. Jefferson Ave.
The 16,000-square-foot store will emphasize fresh foods and produce, the company said in a statement. It will feature seasonal produce and fresh meats as well as made-fresh-daily grab-and-go options like chicken tenders and rotisserie and hand-breaded broasted chicken. Bakery goods and freshly squeezed orange juice are also in the lineup.
The store will serve restaurants as well as household shoppers and will offer online ordering with in-store pickup service for commercial customers.
The privately held Gordon Food Service, based on the west side of the state, has more than 170 stores in the United States and 17 locations in metro Detroit. More than 30 employees were hired for the new Detroit store. The company has been in business 120 years.
The new store is in the Rivertown Warehouse district and is within a mile of where Meijer plans a smaller-scale store. It's in a former Staples location and in the same complex as Bucharest Grill.
The British Association of Remote Sensing Companies announced that two companies have joined as new members.

Home equity lines of credit use home values as collateral.
2 What Is the Typical APR for a Home Equity Line of Credit?
A home equity line of credit is a long-term credit arrangement that uses home value as collateral. You use the home equity line as you would a credit card, but typically for home-related issues such as home maintenance or improvement. Home equity lines of credit generally offer large amounts of credit at low monthly payments over a long period, called the draw period. This credit arrangement can be advantageous if used correctly, but you should become familiar with the dangers associated with a home equity line of credit before taking one out.
A HELOC usually carries an adjustable interest rate that may rise over time. By the loan repayment period, your monthly payment may be more than you can afford.
Home equity lines of credit feature variable interest rates that move up and down in tandem with the prime rate – the rate at which banks lend money to each other and their most creditworthy borrowers. Variable rates are generally expressed as the prime rate plus a set amount of percentage points. The danger of variable interest rates is the possibility that rates will rise in the future. Consider, for example, if you were to take out a home equity line of credit at a variable rate, initially set at 7 percent, when fixed rate consumer credit arrangements are currently offered at 8 percent. If the variable rate increases to, say, 11 percent in four years, you could find yourself paying significantly more in interest than if you had taken the fixed rate loan.
Home equity lines of credit are easy to use, though they may not be easy to obtain. Since monthly payments are low and credit levels are high, consumers can quickly find themselves with buyers' remorse and a large amount of debt. As with credit cards, it can be easy to get out of control while justifying current purchases with future income expectations, which may not always turn out as planned.
Although monthly payments are relatively low and payment term lengths are generally long, home equity lines of credit must be paid in full at the end of the draw period. This may not be a problem for borrowers who have made consistent monthly payments, but it can present a significant challenge to individuals on a temporarily tight budget. The danger inherent in the immediate repayment terms of home equity lines of credit is the risk that you may not be able to pay when the draw period ends, forcing you to obtain a loan from a secondary source.
If you can't pay off your home equity line of credit when it becomes due, you can try to obtain a second loan to pay off your home equity line of credit balance at the end of the draw period. But if you can't get a second loan and you can't pay back your home equity line of credit, you could lose your home. Aside from your taking a hit to your credit score and potentially seeking bankruptcy, the bank may choose to foreclose, leaving you looking for a new place to live.

Hello, everyone! My name is Selena Anguiano and I am a third year at UC Davis; I am majoring in Sustainable Environmental Design and minoring in Community and Regional Development. Originally, I am from a small town up in northern California where I enjoy the shade of the tall redwood trees and the music of the ocean.
I first studied abroad in spring quarter of my second year. I spent almost three months in the city of Madrid studying Spanish Language and Culture in a small international center where the teachers knew your name and were able to create a relationship with you. This program allowed me to live in a city for the first time in my life and helped me learn to be independent. I originally chose this program because I wanted to strengthen my first language and to reconnect with my roots. Not only was I able to accomplish both, but also I was able to create a diverse network of friends from all over the world.
Studying abroad was a life changing experience that was worth every sacrifice. I originally never imagined studying abroad because of financial constraints, academic scheduling issues, an fear. Yet, with proper time and organization, I was able to receive an international scholarship to make my dream come true. It was my first time traveling outside of the country and I was very unsure of my decision -- until I got there and realized that it was all worth it. This experience abroad helped me see how different the world really is and how we can use our experiences to improve our own little worlds.
It is an honor to work for the Study Abroad Department and I am beyond excited to inspire students like myself to travel and open their doors to new opportunities, both academically and personally. Traveling abroad is a chance to get lost and in the process be able to find oneself.

In April, Mixon-Smith said she began a promotional offer to bundle her existing DirecTV service with a new AT&T cellphone plan.

Mixon-Smith said she was still confused over remaining service and billing issues.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, has introduced reforms that included cutting subsidies, introducing value added tax (VAT) and cutting perks to royal family members to try to cope with a drop in crude prices that has caused a budget deficit estimated at 195 billion riyals in 2018.

Despite the criticism and controversies, Aamir Khan's comedy drama 'PK' has made its way to the 100 crore club by grossing Rs. 116.63 crore in just four days.
On the first day of release, the Aamir Khan starrer left the cash registers ringing by minting Rs. 26.63 crore.
On the second day, there was a 15 percent rise in the collections, which amounted to Rs. 30.40 crore.
On Sunday, it collected Rs. 38.24 crore and on Monday it grossed Rs. 22.40 crore.
Overwhelmed by the success of the film, actress Anushka Sharma took to Twitter to express her gratitude and love for fans.
When Aamir's 'PK' is the most-talked about movie these days, friend Salman has apparently missed watching it.
Giving an explanation as to why Salman hasn't seen his movie yet, Aamir, while interacting with the shutterbugs said, "No he (Salman) hasn’t seen it yet but he will see it soon. He has been travelling in and out of Bombay so he hasn’t been able to so far."
Though 'PK' failed to surpass the first day collections of 'Happy New Year' and 'Dhoom 3', it has definitely outdone Salman Khan starrer 'Kick'.
Besides Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma, 'PK' stars Sanjay Dutt and Sushant Singh Rajput too.
The Texas Pool is just one of the council's pools which will open next week.
Summer is here and it’s almost time to dive in.
The public swimming pools across the Goondiwindi Region will open next week for the summer season.
The pools in Goondiwindi, Inglewood and Texas will open on Monday 17 September, a week before the school holidays start.
Swimmers are advised that the Texas pool’s operating hours will be changed from the previous season.
The changes will reflect typical patronage of the pool and will see no reduction in total hours open.
The new hours will hopefully better suit swimmers’ preferences.
This year, the Texas pool will be open to the public 11 am – 6 pm Monday to Saturday, with early morning sessions open 6 am – 8 am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Sundays and public holidays will open 12 pm – 6 pm.
The Goondiwindi and Inglewood pools’ opening times will remain unchanged.
All three of the region’s public swimming pools are owned by Goondiwindi Regional Council and privately leased.
Taking a dip may be a welcome relief from the dry conditions faced by many in the region, and Mayor Graeme Scheu said he hoped the community would continue to make great use of the public pools.
‘We really are very lucky in our region to have such fantastic public swimming facilities,’ Mayor Scheu said.
Complete opening hours, admission prices and swimming safety tips can be found at the Goondiwindi Regional Council website.
Chanie Rosenberg, along with her husband Tony Cliff, were founder members of what is now the Socialist Workers Party.
‘Becoming a revolutionary lit a beacon which has shone on me all the time. My life has been spent working towards that beacon. I still have a lot to look forward to. I don’t mean my 100th birthday—but that there should be socialism somewhere in the world before I die.
I’m very optimistic, with what’s happened in Egypt and the other Arab countries and in Greece.
I think the strikes today are brilliant. I feel that the working class is listening better to our ideas than it has been in the past.
I was born in 1922 to a Jewish family in South Africa. It was the most racist country.
When white people read in the paper that someone had died they would check if it was a black person or a white person. For blacks they reacted as if an animal had died.
I was 11 when Hitler came to power in Germany. That background made most of the Jews in South Africa Zionist, including my family. At the time I agreed with them.
One day I got a letter from the Zionist headquarters saying that Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews. We laughed and said it was impossible.
When I was 15 years old a woman came from a kibbutz in Palestine. She spoke to us about the kibbutz movement. She said she was a socialist and I became a Zionist socialist.
About a dozen of us moved to Palestine to live on a kibbutz in 1944, while the war was still on.
I found the life absolutely wonderful—no money at all, you just do your work and the money goes to the kibbutz. All jobs were rotated, so everybody looked after the kids and worked in the kitchens.
I visited another kibbutz that I thought was brilliant. It made the best food and there was always music. But there was one room that I wasn’t allowed in and no one would tell me why.
So that lovely kibbutz had the guns to get Palestinian land. At that point, I knew that I had become an anti-Zionist. I couldn’t stay there, politically, even though I loved the life. So I left.
Chanie met the founder of the Socialist Workers Party, Tony Cliff—then using his real name, Ygael Gluckstein—in Palestine.
A speaker came to address us at the kibbutz. He spoke in Hebrew. I understood Hebrew better than anyone else there, but even I couldn’t follow a word he said.
Nobody said anything. This was Tony Cliff.
After I decided to leave the kibbutz, Cliff called me to Tel Aviv. This would have been 1945. As soon as I arrived I was swept up in his revolutionary Trotskyist group’s work.
But, we went for a walk. And after that we stayed together.
Eventually, Cliff decided to leave Palestine because he was writing a book on the history and politics of Egypt and needed access to a better library. He wanted to use the British Museum.
In Britain they joined the Trotskyist Revolutionary Communist Party. After the war the group split in an argument over the new “communist” states. Cliff formed the Socialist Review Group in 1951, around the theory that Eastern Europe was state capitalist. This was the forerunner of the Socialist Workers Party.
What I remember about that first meeting is that there were 40 people and we ate Marmite sandwiches.

After I decided to leave the kibbutz, Cliff called me to Tel Aviv. This would have been 1945. As soon as I arrived I was swept up in his revolutionary Trotskyist group’s work.

But, we went for a walk. And after that we stayed together.

Eventually, Cliff decided to leave Palestine because he was writing a book on the history and politics of Egypt and needed access to a better library. He wanted to use the British Museum.

In Britain they joined the Trotskyist Revolutionary Communist Party. After the war the group split in an argument over the new “communist” states. Cliff formed the Socialist Review Group in 1951, around the theory that Eastern Europe was state capitalist. This was the forerunner of the Socialist Workers Party.

What I remember about that first meeting is that there were 40 people and we ate Marmite sandwiches.
