Pakistani villagers greet each others after being rescued from their flooded villages in Chiniot, 160 kilometers (99 miles) northwest of Lahore, Pakistan, Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014. The death toll from floods in Pakistan and India increased on Tuesday as armies in both countries scrambled to help the victims and authoriti... |
JHANG, Pakistan — Raging monsoon floods sweeping across India and Pakistan have killed more than 400 people, authorities said Tuesday, warning hundreds of thousands more to be prepared to flee their homes as helicopters and boats raced to save marooned victims. |
Authorities in Pakistan say the floods, which began Sept. 3, are the worst since massive flooding killed 1,700 people in 2010. Pakistan's minister for water and power, Khwaja Mohammad Asif, warned parliament that some 700,000 people have been told to leave their homes, which could be inundated in the next four days. |
Pakistani and Indian troops have been using boats and helicopters to drop food supplies for stranded families and evacuate victims. However, the challenge of the situation grows as more than 1.5 million people are now affected as the rushing waters have destroyed the homes of thousands of families. |
"This is a sad moment for all of us," Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said, addressing flood victims in the country's Hafiz district. "These floods came suddenly and no one knew that such a large flood was coming." |
The floods have triggered landslides in the divided Kashmir region, split between the two arch rivals, and caused much devastation in northern and eastern Pakistan. |
The rains washed away houses, bridges, communication equipment and crops. Pakistani and Indian troops say they have evacuated more than 60,000 people. |
Others have waded through waist-deep water to escape the floods, as women carried household items and children on their shoulders as others dragged their livestock along. On roadsides, families set up makeshift camps. Hundreds of others remain stranded on the rooftops, waving for help to every passing helicopter. |
On a road near the village of Jamia Abad in the eastern Pakistani district of Jhang, Naseem Akhtar, 41, said she had gone from one government office to another, trying to get someone to help her husband and other family members who had stayed back in their now-submerged village. |
Last time she talked to her husband by phone was on Monday night, when he told her that they were sitting on the roof waiting to be rescued, she said. |
"I went to the police, I tried to find a private boat, but nothing, there is no help," she said. |
So far, 231 have died in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, while 200 have been killed in India, officials say. |
In Pakistan, the floods are now moving south, said Ahmad Kamal, a spokesman for the country's National Disaster Management Authority. |
The inundated Kashmir region in the northern Himalayas is divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both. Two of the three wars the countries have fought since their independence from Britain in 1947 have been over controlling it. |
The Indian army late Monday airlifted communication equipment to restore telephone and mobile phone links damaged by flood water. Army engineers worked Tuesday to restore communication links. |
Both nation's armies airdropped relief packages to victims that included blankets, food supplies, medicine and drinking water. |
Although the rains have stopped, the flood waters are likely to submerge hundreds of more villages. Pakistani authorities braced for worsening conditions as water levels in the Chenab and Indus rivers rose, Kamal said. |
Meanwhile, environmental experts in India said extensive deforestation of Kashmir's mountains has aggravated the damage from the floods. |
With the Himalayan hills in Kashmir stripped off their green cover, fast flowing streams were causing soil erosion and flash floods, said Krishnaswamy Srinivas of the Vasudha Foundation, a New Delhi-based environmental advocacy group. |
Shahzad reported from Islamabad. Associated Press writers Nirmala George in New Delhi and Zaheer Babar in Lahore, Pakistan, contributed to this report. |
Short on time and grabbing a bottle of wine at the supermarket is your only option? Finding an interesting bottle can be tough, but there are some tucked in with the ordinary. Supermarkets deal in wines as beverage — predictable, mostly the entry level wines, produced in quantity, from well-known brands. Forget about s... |
The wine selection doesn't vary much from supermarket to supermarket. Most of the labels come from a few big companies that either own or distribute a large roster of wines. However, you can sometimes find deals. |
Right now Albertsons is running a promotion — buy six wines and get 10% off. And they don't all have to be the same wine: You can mix and match. Most wine shops give a similar discount on full cases (12 bottles) of wine. |
At the Albertsons in Culver City, the first thing you see in the wine section are long shelves stocked with 1.5 liter bottles. That's the same size as the double bottle or magnums winemakers often use for their best wines. That's because the large format bottles are wonderful for aging wines. |
Don't get too excited, though. Here, the large bottle is just a container: no aging involved. You'll find Sutter Home White Zinfandel, for example, or Gallo Family Cabernet Sauvignon in this section with some big bottles going for as little as $6 or $7 — just a little more than Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck. Keep moving. |
There's an old-fashioned Chianti bottle wrapped in straw, and Riunite (remember that brand from the old television commercials?) Lambrusco, the fizzy red wine from Italy's Lombardy region — in jugs! The store also carries a big inventory of inexpensive and popular brands like Australia's Yellowtail, and California's Tu... |
Move on to wines in normal 750-milliliter bottles. At first glance, it looks as if the selection is quite large, but the same labels pop up over and over again. Someone used to shopping in dedicated wine stores may find it hard to find anything that sticks out in terms of quality or value. But there are some wines that... |
If you want to take advantage of that 10% off for six bottles, here are our picks. Note that prices listed are before the 10% discount. |
A basic Beaujolais from the wine region of the same name in southern Burgundy and a good buy at the price. Jadot's Beaujolais-Village, at about a dollar more, is an even better buy. Both are fruity, easygoing reds, perfect for the barbecue, with a burger or a roast chicken. |
Napa Valley producer Joel Gott makes excellent high-end Cabernets in the $50-to-$60 range. Tasting of blackberries and herbs, his entry level Cabernet is serviceable, drinkable — and affordable. |
Start out an evening with a glass of this Prosecco. This fresh, clean sparkler from Italy's Veneto that has a touch of citrus and flowers. You can also add a splash of orange or peach juice to make a Bellini. |
Chalone has always made leaner Chardonnays in the Burgundian style. This one is crisp and balanced, with touches of citrus and oak. Break out a bottle for that salmon you just put on the grill. |
From Sonoma's pioneering Zinfandel specialist, this gutsy red is packed with the flavors of blackberries and spice. It's actually a blend of 80% Zinfandel with smaller amounts of Petite Sirah, Syrah and Carignane. Just the bottle for a slab of barbecued ribs. |
This young Rioja from a historic estate is a good value for a red wine with some age on it. The Tempranillo grape rules in Rioja and this is a lovely, easy drinking example. |
Shares of CUI Global (CUI) got slammed right after the company delivered disappointing news on Tuesday, when it announced its fourth quarter results. The stock slumped 16%, to $5.03 a share, at the market’s close that day. |
Management expressed concern over the slower than expected adoption rate of the Gas PT device, an innovation for the staid natural gas pipeline and transmission industry. The fourth quarter results underscored that point. CUI reported a 10% drop in fourth quarter revenues, to $19.4 million, and a loss for the fourth qu... |
However, some savvy investors believe CUI management dumped all of the bad news into the fourth quarter to clear the decks for 2017 and 2018. |
For the past 50 years, the industry standard for measuring gas quality has been a Rube Goldberg-like system known as chromatography. Major suppliers of clunky gas chromatographs include Siemens AG, which last year reported revenues of $79.6 billion; Honeywell, with annual revenues of $39.3 billion; and ABB Group, which... |
But last year Snam Rete Gas (SRG), the giant Italian company, became the first gas pipeline system to halt chromatography’s singular grip by ordering 3,300 units of CUI’s GasPT. |
Why? Some industry analysts say the device is a disruptive technology with clear advantages. Each unit costs about 10% of the price of the old technology, requires virtually no maintenance as compared to chromatography’s constant upkeep, and provides rapid gas quality measurement versus a 20-minute lag time for the old... |
The time difference can be important, analysts say, because transmission companies can charge customers when they can document gas quality levels in real time. |
Snam Rete, which tested the GasPT for five years before making a purchase, is expected to take delivery of 1,200 units of the GasPT in 2017, once an acceptable solution to regulators’ demand for the installation of upgraded flow meters on the Italian pipeline system has been found. This could take another three months ... |
This bureaucratic wrangle has frustrated a handful of investors, leading to the selloff in the shares. Others investors view the selloff as a buying opportunity. |
Meanwhile, other gas pipeline monopolies in major Western European countries are actively considering switching from chromatography to the GasPT, according to Eric Stine, analyst at Craig-Hallum. He names Engie in France, Repsol in Spain and E.ON of Germany as prime candidates to be the next important customers for CUI... |
He notes that the United Kingdom’s National Grid plc has signed on as a preferred supplier of CUI products in a five-year agreement valued at $40 million. On Tuesday, CUI announced a similar partnership deal with Engie in France. The former GDF Suez adopted the name Engie in April 2015 in an effort to shun its roots as... |
Massive adoption of a new technology can significantly slow innovation’s introduction, and clearly that is what has occurred at CUI. As a result, CUI's stock may require the exercise of some patience on the part of investors. Yet, with the 2016 financial results out of the way, some investors think the stock price of C... |
Lake Street Capital’s Brown forecasts that revenues will jump almost 70%, to $147 million, in 2018. And he expects CUI to post earnings of 50 cents a share that year. Amit Dayal, analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, is also bullish on CUI, with a stock price target price of $11. The stock closed at $4.93 a share at the close o... |
As the only company with a proven technology alternative to gas chromatography, CUI could well be a takeover candidate, particularly for some of the giant industrial conglomerates, such as ABB Group, or Siemens. |
In the meantime, CUI shares could remain volatile, so investors should be braced for a wild ride. But for those who can withstand the volatility, they could well reap a bountiful reward. |
