Struggling to return to profitability, JetBlue last month outlined plans to cut some of its routes and markets that were unprofitable, including Bogota in Colombia and Lima in Peru, and reallocate resources to better-performing regions. The Caribbean and Latin American regions represented more than 33% of JetBlue's overall capacity in 2023, a regulatory filing showed. JetBlue now expects fiscal 2024 revenue to decline in the low-single-digit percentage range, compared with its prior forecast...
The Redmi Pad Pro was unveiled for the Chinese market last week alongside the Redmi Turbo 3 smartphone, and if you've been wondering whether the tablet would make a global debut later on, the answer seems to be a resounding yes - with 5G support in some markets, even. The Redmi Pad Pro 5G has been spotted in the Google Play Console database, with the model number 24074RPD2I which tells us it's headed to India (the "I" at the end is for India).

I read the letter to The Madera Tribune (April 3) by Chuck Wieland and the reply (April 10) by John Wright. I appreciated the comments by Wieland about Trump, the Republican party and the colorful language.“Let’s not be silently complicit in transforming America into a Bizarro World. Or Amerika.” Wright wrote that regarding Wieland’s comments, he was “stunned, disgusted and disappointed.” I feel that I have to inform Wright that not everyone in Madera County is a MAGA Trumper.

Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr.’s pivot to America will soon yield dividends – in terms of investments in critical areas, jobs and job training, solid infrastructure, energy independence, digital connectivity, microchip production, agribusiness, mass transport and logistics hubs.
