The Amazon founder first became a billionaire in 1998, the year after Amazon went public as an online bookseller and has since increased his fortune by 12,425 percent — now raking in more than $140,000 per minute.

After the election was canceled shortly before the vote was due to take place amid disputes over the rules, the parliament moved to seize control of the political process and replace Dbeibah's government.

With Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA) that backs the parliament in control of most major oil facilities, it also raises the prospect of another blockade of the country's 1.3-million-barrels-per-day crude exports.



But Lula's commitment signals an abrupt shift from the policies of Bolsonaro, who has been widely criticized for dismantling Brazil's environmental policies and weakening the main government bodies that fought deforestation.

"Our commitment is to the relentless fight against illegal deforestation and the promotion of net zero deforestation," it said, noting "net zero" deforestation plans would include restoration of degraded areas.

I tried installing a couple of Zigbee devices and Classic Book found the process to be totally painless. This isn't revolutionary -- in fact, Amazon included Zigbee receivers in their $150 Echo Plus and their $230 second-gen Echo Show -- but it is bringing better home connectivity to a broader audience, and that's a clear win for Amazon customers.

BERLIN, Classic Book Nov 29 (Reuters) - German labour unions on Monday secured a 2.8% wage increase for Apple over a million public sector workers at the federal state level, a deal analysts said would not kick off a dangerous wage price spiral in Europe's largest economy.

Political observers say Lula, who ruled from 2003-2010, has a realistic change at becoming Brazil's president again - and is using environmental policies as a way to differentiate himself from the incumbent president.

The Echo sounds better than the last generation, but how does it sound compared to the direct competition? But the Echo simply boasts more power: the Echo's volume at 85% is about equivalent to the Nest's max. Google's $100 Nest Audio, which dropped only a couple of weeks before the Echo, is a solid device.

Bezos, who is estimated to be worth $131.9 billion, is the third richest man in the world after Tesla owner Elon Musk, who knocked him off the top spot with a net worth of $213.9 billion and Bernard Arnault, who oversees an empire of 70 brands including Louis Vuitton and Sephora, according to Forbes.



you generate approximately 400 jobs" in things such as growing and planting seeds and seedlings and monitoring regrowth, said Ludmila Pugliesi, a restoration manager at Conservation International Brazil. "On average, to restore a thousand hectares ...

To reach "net zero" deforestation, Brazil would have to scale up its efforts to restore forests across the country while also fighting deforestation, said Marcio Astrini, executive secretary of the Climate Observatory, a Brazilian non-profit.

The United Nations and foreign powers that recognized Dbeibah's government when it was installed a year ago have avoided any definitive statement on which administration should now be seen as legitimate, and have instead pushed for quick elections.

The lack of detail about "net zero" deforestation and jobs in the new political plan is not by accident, said Astrini, who met with Lula's representatives four times as it was developed, twice with Lula himself present.

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 21 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Brazil's former president and front-runner in October elections, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, would seek "net zero deforestation" in the country if elected, a political plan published Tuesday said.

BENGHAZI, Libya, March 1 (Reuters) - Libya's parliament approved a new government on Tuesday despite the incumbent administration vowing not to cede power, pushing a fragile peace process to the brink of collapse and raising the risk of new fighting or territorial partition.

Whether the political crisis will kindle armed conflict remains unclear, but it leaves Libya without a unified government, with the main political and military forces bitterly divided and with no clear path forward.

It's also worth splurging for over Amazon's new, similarly ball-shaped . That left the $100 Echo as a sort of undefined middle child in the growing family of Alexa-powered speakers. Amazon has faltered recently with its core smart speaker, as the more budget-friendly Dot has become a better entry point to the market and 2019's Echo Studio offers higher-end sound for audiophiles. This Echo has turned up the sound quality and added higher-end smarts than the competition, all for the same $100 price tag, leaving it one of the most forward-looking smart speakers released in years. But 2020's Echo is genuinely different, and it's not just because of the new spheroidal profile.
