Benjamin Hall, the Fox News correspondent who was seriously injured when his vehicle came under fire outside Kyiv on Monday, is now safe and being treated outside of Ukraine, the network said. “Ben is alert and in good spirits,” Suzanne Scott, the chief executive of Fox News Media, wrote in a staff memo on Wednesday. “He is being treated with the best possible care in the world and we are in close contact with his wife and family. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.” Mr. Hall, 39, was injured in the same attack that killed a Fox News cameraman, Pierre Zakrzewski, 55, and a young Ukrainian journalist, Oleksandra Kuvshynova, 24, who had been working alongside the Fox News reporting team. The episode has thrown into sharp relief the lethal dangers faced by foreign journalists covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On Sunday, the American filmmaker and journalist Brent Renaud, 50, was shot and killed while reporting in a suburb of Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. Mr. Hall, who has covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and other countries, joined Fox News in 2015. He had been hospitalized in Ukraine after the attack and his condition had remained unclear for the past 48 hours. Many people at Fox News have been deeply shaken by the incident, which marks the first time that Fox News employees have been killed in a war zone. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/world/europe/benjamin-hall-fox-news-ukraine-safe.html

Offshore service vessels owner Tidewater has signed a partnership agreement with Tero Marine to provide consultancy services and the fleetwide implementation of Tero Marine’s TM Master fleet management software suite. The move is part of Tidewater's wider initiative aiming to transform its fleet to global systems and processes, create efficiencies through automation, digitalization to connect and integrate onshore and offshore, and scalability to optimize fleet efficiency for new acquisitions. Tidewater last week announced the acquisition of Swire Pacific Offshore, creating the world’s largest OSV fleet. The fleet management software initiative is intended to strategically unify processes and best practice across the group, eliminating fragmentation and reducing the administrative burden on the ship and shore-based teams, according to Tero Marine, part of the Ocean Technologies Group (OTG). This centralized approach will also provide increased data transparency making it easier to verify safety-critical checks onboard and provide real-time oversight and control over their operations, the company said. Tidewater expects the new direction to yield significant financial gains, with change management seen as critical to unlocking considerable potential for return on investment. Sam R Rubio, Tidewater's executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, “The financial drivers for these savings are based on achieving industry best in class practices. Savings will only be achieved by optimizing processes and securing acceptance across the fleet. TM Master software is an enabler, but it is our crews and onshore resources that will make this a successful transition. Change management is a critical success factor for any transformation.” https://www.oedigital.com/news/495042-tidewater-inks-fleet-management-software-deal-with-tero-marine

https://www.northernontariobusiness.com/industry-news/design-build/timmins-builders-meet-eat-and-hand-out-the-safety-hardware-5161194Our construction sector remains strong,' says outgoing Timmins Construction Association president The Timmins Construction Association (TCA) has named Jamie Clarke as its new president for the 2022-2024 term. The organization gathered last week for its annual general meeting and safety awards to ratify a new leader, board of directors and pass out some safety awards. "Our construction sector remains strong," said outgoing president Shawn Tyson in a March 10 news release. "Despite several challenges brought on by the pandemic and supply chain challenges, Timmins businesses are still completing projects and are in high demand." The association saw new members come aboard and the launch of our new brand with new digital capabilities. "Overall, the TCA had an excellent year, and as we look to introduce new initiatives in support of development in Timmins, my departing words to Jamie Clarke would be that I wish him luck and that he's well-positioned to continue leading our association," added Tyson. Bill Ferreira, executive director of BuildForce Canada, delivered a virtual overview of the Northern Ontario construction labour markets from 2022 to 2027. He noted that overall, residential constructions and investment would remain driven by renovations, with new home constructions making up a smaller share, but the future of construction in the region is strong. However, total employment declines continue to impact the industry. Karen Hermant of the Infrastructure Health & Safety Association and Ashley Richards-Gagnon later handed out some safety awards at the event. 50,000 + Total Hours with 0 Loss Time Injury (LTI) https://www.northernontariobusiness.com/industry-news/design-build/timmins-builders-meet-eat-and-hand-out-the-safety-hardware-5161194

Amsety?the first liver health bar in the U.S.?has conducted research to determine which lifestyle changes liver disease patients are adopting to maintain their liver health and lower the risk of further disease progression. 65% of liver patients stay hydrated, 52% limit their alcohol consumption, and 48% avoid unhealthy foods. Only 32% of respondents exercise regularly. In other words, less than half of liver patients adopt all the changes necessary for liver health. "Poor quality nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle are the main causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and comorbidities such as diabetes and obesity. A NAFLD diagnosis requires nutritional and lifestyle changes to halt the disease's progression. Otherwise, NAFLD can progress into a more severe form of the disease such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, or eventually cirrhosis," says Dr. Tarek Hassanein, Director of Southern California Liver Centers. With continuously increasing rates of obesity and diabetes?the critical risk factors for NAFLD?America's liver disease cases are expected to rise dramatically in the near-term future. "The diagnostics of liver disease at an early stage where its progression can still be reversed is not always possible, and that is a huge problem," says Dr. Guy Neff, President and CEO of Covenant Metabolic Specialists from Florida. Further he says, "Most often, liver disease develops asymptomatically, and many patients remain unaware that they even have a liver problem until it progresses into a more advanced stage where liver function becomes irreversibly compromised." "To stop the epidemic of liver disease in the United States, we need to approach this problem by doubling down on liver disease diagnostics, educating the public on the importance of liver-healthy lifestyle and diet as a preventive measure against liver disease, as well as supporting and pushing forward with our liver disease research initiatives to develop treatments for chronic liver disease in later stages," underlines Dr. Hassanein. About Amsety Amsety exists to improve the lives of individuals with liver conditions by delivering liver-healthy, nutritional solutions and raising awareness on liver health.

Taiwan's president said residents have donated $600M and 'critical supplies' to Ukraine Ukrainian people in Taiwan and supporters hold posters to protest against the invasion of Russia in solidarity with the Ukrainian people during a march in Taipei, Taiwan, Sunday, March 13, 2022. Hundreds of Taiwanese protesters took to the streets of Taipei on Sunday to show solidarity with Ukraine amid Russia's invasion, according to reports. Foreign policy experts have drawn parallels between Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to control Ukraine's democratic government and Chinese President Xi Jinping's desire to make Taiwan part of China. Both Ukrainian and Taiwanese protesters gave speeches, sang the Ukrainian national anthem, and chanted, "Taiwan stands with Ukraine," according to the Taipei Times. Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said in a Monday tweet that she is "immensely proud of how the Taiwanese people have supported Ukraine." She added that residents of Taiwan have so far donated $600 million and "critical supplies" to Ukraine. "We #StandWithUkraine in solidarity as its people fight to protect their freedom & way of life," she wrote. Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu announced an $11.5 million donation to various EU countries housing Ukrainian refugees on Monday. The aid will go to Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Lithuania. The foreign ministry also has announced a new program allowing Ukrainians with relatives in Taiwan to apply for special visas. Taiwan has not ruled out sanctions against Russia but is still importing gas and coal from the country, according to the Taipei Times. Last month, as Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, nine Chinese aircraft entered Taiwan’s air defense zone, prompting a broadcast warning from the island nation. Military strategists in Taiwan are closely studying Ukrainians as they've mounted a fierce resistance against a more formidable opponent despite being outgunned and outmanned. Tensions were mounting between China and Taiwan well before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. China has for decades regarded Taiwan as a renegade breakaway state. Taiwan and China split in 1949 and China has been increasing pressure on the self-ruled nation, while opposing its involvement in international organizations. The U.S. does not formally recognize Taiwan but maintains an unofficial alliance. https://www.foxnews.com/world/taiwanese-protesters-solidarity-ukraine

The Elder Scrolls Online's latest yearlong adventure, Legacy of the Bretons, starts today for players on PC, Mac, and Stadia with the release of the new Ascending Tide DLC. Ascending Tide includes two new PvE dungeons, Shipright's Regret and The Coral Aerie, and will set the stage for stories and adventures to come later this year with the game's High Isle chapter. The new DLC will arrive for console players on March 29. Shipright's Regret will see players journey to a haunted shipyard that is home to the wreckage of the legendary All Flags Navy. Coral Aerie, on the other hand, will task players with rescuing returning ESO character Jakarn from the mysterious Ascendant Order, the primary antagonists of the Legacy of the Bretons yearlong adventure. Ascending Tide is included at no additional charge for all ESO Plus subscribers, but can also be purchased standalone through the in-game Crown Store. Like previous ESO DLC and expansions, players do not need to be a certain level to experience the new content, and can instead jump right in. The new DLC paves the way for future Legacy of the Bretons content, including the new High Isle expansion on June 6, which will include a never-before-seen region of Tamriel and serve as a deep-dive on Breton lore and culture. ESO creative director Rich Lambert has described High Isle as a return to the storytelling roots of the Elder Scrolls franchise with a focus on the politics of Breton society. High Isle is said to include over 30 hours of new quest-related content and will also introduce a strategic card game, Tales of Tribute, with its own single player quest line into the world of Tamriel. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-elder-scrolls-online-ascending-tide-dlc-arrives-today-on-pc/1100-6501508/

As long as you don't mind a few dings and scrapes, these are some of the best prices you'll find on Apple products out there at the moment. From phones to headphones to laptops, Apple's products are some of the best and most po[CENSORED]r on the market. They come with a hefty price tag to match, however, and Apple almost never offers discounts on its own products directly. And while deals do flare up occasionally at retailers, your best bet to find Apple devices at a bargain is to shop refurbished. Today only, through 9:59 p.m. PT (12:59 a.m. ET), Woot is having a massive sale on a huge selection of refurbished iPhones and Apple Watches, where you can save hundreds compared to buying new. You can see the whole sale selection here: This sale covers a pretty wide selection of both products. It spans most generations of the Apple Watch, from the Series 3 from 2017 all the way up to the Series 6 from 2020 (Series 7 is the most current model). The Series 6, which can be difficult to find new, would typically retail for around $400, but right now you can grab a refurbished model for as low as $250. If you're in the market for a new phone, the selection of refurbished iPhones is equally expansive. It covers from 2016's iPhone 7, which starts at just $140, to 2020's iPhone 12, which you can grab for $545, $155 less than it costs new from Apple directly. All devices at this sale are used, and have been rated by Woot as S&D, or scratch and dent, grade refurbs. That means that, while all devices have been tested and ensured to be in full working condition, they will show cosmetic signs of wear and tear, including scratches, dings and scrapes. But if you can live with some blemishes, it's a great chance to grab Apple devices at some of the lowest prices you'll see. https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/apple-sale-save-hundreds-on-refurb-iphones-and-apple-watches-today-only/

Titan Enterprises launches their advanced interface software for the Atrato® ultrasonic flowmeters. The Atrato line of patented ultrasonic inline flowmeters consists of four models operating over a flow range of 2ml per minute up to 20 litres per minute. The USB connection gives the Atrato computer interface capability, enabling the user to directly monitor the flow rate being measured and alter the operating parameters using a PC. Titan’s development of the Atrato’s new interface software features four key functionality improvements: The ability to connect, configure and operate multiple Atrato flowmeters on a computer simultaneously whilst minimising CPU usage. Additional capability to run simple local and remote-control batching operations using an inbuilt relay. Remote start / restart capability for long shut-down periods. The ability to increase signal gain via the software for liquids with poor acoustic properties. The Atrato interface software enables the user to log the flow data directly via the USB. This data-logging capability gives a continuous picture of the flow characteristics of the system being monitored, such as flow, alarms, relay and pulse. The upgrade integrates developments in both the Atrato’s internal software and the PC interface software, providing a combination of increased versatility and advanced operational features, giving a convenient platform for users to integrate into their processes or systems and supporting better diagnostic capability. Neil Hannay, Senior R&D Engineer with Titan Enterprises, says: “We are continually pushing our product design and performance windows and we are confident these latest software improvements for our ultrasonic flowmeters will be welcomed by our customers.”The rugged, clean bore construction of Titan’s Atrato ultrasonic flowmeter makes it the perfect choice for a broad range of low liquid flow applications. Operating with excellent accuracy over wide flow ranges, the Atrato flowmeters are industry proven with good chemical compatibility, ideal for laboratory applications, cooling equipment, pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical processes, water and OEM high precision applications. With no moving parts, mechanical wear is virtually eliminated, critical for long-life and repeatability and reducing the requirement for recalibration. Taking advantage of proprietary embedded signal processing software developed by Titan Enterprises, both viscous and non-viscous liquids can be routinely measured precisely. The low flows that the Atrato flowmeter is capable of measuring vary from laminar to turbulent and are highly immune from viscosity. With unparalleled turndown, repeatability, and linearity, the Atrato can monitor flow over a range of 250:1. Using the Atrato USB port, users can now directly connect their laptop PC to multiple flowmeters and monitor the rate and total flow while also being able to alter a selection of operating parameters. The Atrato interface software is supplied with the flow meters and can also be downloaded from Titan’s website. Although the upgraded software is ‘backward compatible’ and will work with older Atrato models, not all the new features will be accessible.

Amid Russia's ongoing brutal invasion of Ukraine, gasoline prices in the United States have hit an all-time high. Inflation, which polling shows to be Americans' top concern, is also now at a 40-year high. In an attempt to curb inflation, the Federal Reserve is expected this week to begin raising interest rates for the first time in three years. The move presents President Biden and Democrats with yet another political challenge from a different end of the economic spectrum than higher prices. Higher interest rates, after all, will put a strain on Americans looking to borrow. Buying a home or car, or taking out a student or business loan, for example, will all cost more although even after several expected rate hikes, borrowing costs will remain low by historical standards. On high prices, Washington is pointing fingers. Biden says the high gas prices, which for many people are the poster child for overall inflation, are the fault of Vladimir Putin and his assault on Ukraine and the tough economic sanctions the West has leveled as a result. "We need to be honest with the American people the battle for freedom has its costs here at home, as well," Biden said at the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting last week. "People [are] already feeling Putin's price hikes at the pump. I think the American people know how important this fight is. I think they know that as painful as the price is today, the costs are going to be higher if we do not act now to deal with this tyrant." Vice President Harris echoed that Friday in a news conference in Bucharest, Romania. "[T]here is a price to pay for democracy," Harris said. "Got to stand with your friends. And as everybody knows, even in your personal life, being loyal to those friendships based on common principles and values, sometimes it's difficult. Often, it ain't easy. But that's what the friendship is about, based on shared values. So that's what we're doing." Call it a Putin pivot. Republicans, for their part with their eyes on congressional control after this year's midterm elections are continuing to blame Biden for the rising price of gasoline and inflation generally. Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barrasso, for example, has labeled Biden "the president of high prices" and called inflation his "defining failure." Republicans are blaming the nearly $2 trillion relief bill that Biden and congressional Democrats passed a year ago as the main culprit. "One year after Biden and Democrats passed their $1.9 trillion 'stimulus' bill, they want to tout it as a success," the Republican National Committee said in a statement Friday. "Every Democrat in Congress but one voted for Biden's partisan stimulus. In reality, Biden's stimulus has been anything but a success — it stifled the economic recovery and job growth, while fueling historic inflation, falling wages, and a declining standard of living for Americans." It's clear that's going to be Republicans' main message heading into this year's elections, and many do put at least some of the blame for inflation on the unprecedented amount of money that was poured into the economy. But some context: The relief bill also likely fueled strong economic growth. A Brookings Institution analysis projected that the bill would lead to higher economic growth than without the extra funds in people's pockets. And that's what's happened. In 2021, the U.S. saw 5.7% GDP growth, the fastest pace in four decades. The labor market is nearly at full employment. The jobless rate is down to 3.8%, which is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels. Gas prices, while high, are actually below the previous peak, if adjusted for inflation. As of Saturday, gas prices were about $4.33 a gallon, higher than the $4.14 from July 2008. That, though, would be the equivalent today of more than $5 a gallon ($5.37, according to Fortune). Inflation, however, has been stubbornly high 7.9% higher than a year ago. And the war in Ukraine could make it worse. The strong economic growth, the bullish labor market and rising inflation are reasons that Fed Chair Jerome Powell gave in late January for the central bank's intention to raise rates. "[T]he economy no longer needs sustained high levels of monetary policy support," Powell said. But experts say controlling the pandemic is the real key to truly curbing inflation. The delta and omicron variants had a disruptive effect on American society, the economy and politics, but "it is reasonable to think that each new wave will be less disruptive to the health-care system and economy than the previous one," Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody's Analytics, wrote toward the end of last year. He said that could mean inflation stinging "for another several months, but it should be much less painful a year from now. ... [O]dds are good that the pandemic will continue to recede and inflation will soon move back into hibernation." But Americans aren't known for their patience, and nuance is lost in political messaging. While our poll found Biden got a bump after the State of the Union address, a majority 53% still disapproved of how he's handling the economy. That makes the economy a tough hurdle for Democrats running for reelection this year. https://news.wfsu.org/all-npr-news/2022-03-14/feds-coming-interest-rate-hikes-may-present-another-economic-challenge-for-democrats

Our team has prepared detailed reporting — with direct quote sources and on-the-ground updates about the devastating situation in Ukrainian animal shelters. We’d be happy to provide extra information — translations, quotes, or access to sources, photo and video materials — for your organization to cover the events. TL:DRs: Over 5,000 animals and volunteers in animal shelters are under blockade with no food supplies in the Kyiv region, Ukraine. Volunteers cannot get there to provide assistance, the Russian armed forces are blocking access. Two volunteers were blatantly shot dead near Kharkiv when attempting to feed animals in an occupied zoo. Animal shelters across Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Mykolaiv regions have been under attack and urgently need humanitarian aid. Three volunteers were shot dead in their vehicle by Russian forces when attempting food delivery to a Bucha animal shelter. Since the war in Ukraine erupted in the early hours of Feb, 23rd, thousands of volunteer-led animal shelters have been fully cut off from the supplies. Risking their lives, volunteers still attempt to evacuate the trapped animals or at least deliver food supplies to facilities, located amidst ranging warzones. As of March 10th, over 5,000 animals are stranded across the country in Kyiv Oblast’, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, and other hot zones. Oleksandr Todorchuk, founder of “UAnimals” movement for animal rights says: “The situation with animals and shelters is just awful. We know about the shelling of at least 4 shelters in Ukraine, which were intentionally or accidentally hit by a bombshell. Many animals died. In Mykolaiv as a result of the selling by Russian occupiers 100 cats in the shelter were lost. Two employees of the Feldman Ecopark (Kharkiv) were shot by the Russians when they came just to feed the animals.” Apart from deliberate shootings, Russian forces are denying humanitarian corridors to allow animal volunteers to access affected areas and bring in supplies or transport the animals out to safer zones. Kyiv Region Over 3,000 animals and volunteers are trapped in the county’s largest shelter, Sirius, located in the Dymer community, 60 km north of Kyiv. Iryna Lozova, “Sirius” shelter coordinator, says: “Since February 24, “Sirius” has been under blockade. There is no access to the shelter: all the routes are blocked by the Russian occupiers. They do not allow the transportation of food or medicine for people and animals of the Dymer community. People and animals are on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. There is no electricity in the community and animal shelter, no water, no cellular connection, and no Internet, there is constant shelling. As for the shelter – the animals there are very scared by shelling and the sounds of war, they are trying to escape, they are getting injured. Two dogs are in critical condition, three dogs, unfortunately, died. Pet food is available until Saturday. We are very grateful to the locals who give us cereals, potatoes, beetroot, carrot, offal almost for free or even for free – and we are able to feed the animals. All attempts of volunteers and humanitarian organizations to transfer aid to the territory of the Dymer community mostly end with shelling by the Russian occupiers. We are negotiating over the possibility of evacuating our animals, but the main issue today is the lack of a safe passage, a “green corridor”.” Further updates from “Sirius” are available via their FB page. Hostomel shelter is one of the oldest shelters in the country, where over 700 animals and 4 people remain stranded since the start of the war. Local volunteers have already survived two weeks of heavy shelling with nearly all urban infrastructure destroyed. The shelter has been hit by shells three times and attacked by a tank. As of March, 10th Hostomel shelter team reports: “We have no food and water. We need a humanitarian corridor to not just evacuate people from the shelter, but also to allow humanitarian aid to be delivered to the shelter. We need to provide animals with food, water, and a generator for heating”. The volunteers urge local and international animal organizations to intervene and facilitate the establishment of safe passage before all the animals are dead. “Best Friends” shelter, located in Makarivs’kyi district of Kyiv Oblast’, was deliberately targeted by Russian troops on March 1st. The shelter is situated in a remote rural area, miles away from any object of military significance. Over 900 animals were at risk of dying when the shell hit the facility, causing a major fire. Volunteers managed to release some of the animals from their enclosures — but over a hundred died in the fire. The team says: “Our shelter is bombed to the ground. But we didn’t abandon our pets. Two brave volunteers come to visit it each day — our manager Kristina and her husband. Under heavy gunfire, they keep coming to feed the animals, who are now roaming in the nearby village and across the fields. We are waiting for a miracle to evacuate our animals. [Humanitarian aid] already tried to reach us — but they weren’t allowed to pass.” Photos and videos of the current situation are available on Best Friend’s Facebook page.

Ukrainian volunteers keep supporting animals despite grave risks to their lives, but need your support! Despite facing direct threats to their lives Ukrainian volunteers relentlessly continue rescue efforts and keep shipping humanitarian aid to shelters. However, without wider awareness from the global animal rights activities and urgent advocacy for establishing safe humanitarian aid passages, wider efforts cannot be carried out. We’d be happy to provide further reporting, quotes, and fixing with local sources for you to cover the grave situation in Ukraine. We need greater coverage and awareness among international NGOs and governments to pressure the Russian forces to establish safe passage and green corridor and stop killing innocent people and animals! #SaveAnimalsInUA Brave Nick Tadd is driving his pick-up into wartorn Ukraine to save the country’s pets https://internationaltimes.it/last-chance-for-animals-in-ukraine-to-survive/

THERE are plenty of experienced people out there who can help you find your dream car, but very few offer to sell your existing car as well. Even less focus on the luxury and performance car space. That’s where Etnam Auto is different. “We’ve been on both sides of the figurative table, and we’ve listened,” Etnam Auto director Lionel Bustamante said. “We know what makes dealers tick, and what buyers and sellers want.” That unique view comes from years in the automotive industry, and the desire to offer an easy process for people to buy and sell cars of a certain ilk. A digital solution, their platform provides a convenient outcome for busy Australians. “We took what we learned from our experience and recreated an end-to-end solution that fits today’s busy lifestyle.” On offer are two different services, which can be combined if required. The first of these is vehicle procurement. The team at Etnam Auto will go on the hunt for the luxury or performance car you desire, negotiate the best price, and even deliver it to your door. Should you need to sell your car, their Car Concierge service will take care of that, getting you the value of a private sale (at a better price than trading it in), and the convenience of having it all done for you. At the time of writing, their roster of luxury and performance offerings up for sale includes an F80 BMW M3 and a Mercedes-AMG C 63 S, along with a First Edition M850i and a Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE. That alone demonstrates the calibre of cars Etnam Auto can secure for customers, and likewise sell as their loyal clients move to newer models. “Nobody should have to invest hours researching, shopping, and negotiating just to get a good deal, nor should they have to compromise on price for the sake of convenience when selling” Lionel said. “We’ve built up an extensive network of business relationships in the automotive industry, it’s our job to expedite the process and negotiate a deal you normally won’t get on your own.” If you’d like a free valuation on your current vehicle, or want to know more about their services, including how they can secure your next limited edition luxury or performance car, you can either visit their website or call them on 1300 80 30 40. https://www.exhaustnotes.com.au/etnam-auto-offers-unique-luxury-and-performance-car-services/

In its invitation to the conference call, Intel said that Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger would speak about the company's current plans for investments in research and development as well as manufacturing of semiconductor chips. A source told Reuters last month that Intel had chosen the east German city of Magdeburg as the site for a new multibillion-euro European chip factory. The company said in September it could invest as much as $95 billion in Europe over the next decade and announce the locations of two major new European chip fabrication plants by the end of 2021, but no announcement has been made. The source told Reuters last month that Intel was likely to consider France and Italy for new locations in Europe as it plans to build a design centre and packaging plant.
