KBR signs LOI to develop spaceflight food lab near Johnson Space Center

KBR (KBR) has signed a letter of intent, or LOI, with ACMI Properties to grow KBR's commercial space capabilities including a human spaceflight food laboratory at NASA's Exploration Park, adjacent to Johnson Space Center. The 45,000 square-foot, Houston-based facility would serve the growing commercial low-Earth orbit industry where tailorable astronaut food systems and solutions will be designed, tested, validated, produced, and integrated into customer mission environments. With a strategic location at NASA's Exploration Park, and in collaboration with ACMI Properties who specialize in building mission critical infrastructure, KBR expects to set new benchmarks along with the co-located Exploration Park innovators feeding the needs of LEO, Moon, and Mars providers as humanity pursues destiny. In addition to supporting human spaceflight programs, the facility is targeting applications that supply goods, services, or technologies where advanced food safety, packaging, and lifecycle management solutions for humans in extreme and performance-driven environments are key considerations for mission success.

The Grocery Store That's Listening to Customers and Lowering Prices

is the lead editor of the Northeast region with more than 20 years of experience as a reporter, critic, editor, and cookbook author. Jubilee, a local New York grocery store chain, most known for its location in Greenpoint, has taken a brave and bold step by… listening to its customers. Young Kim's shop already had a loyal following that gained momentum over a year ago due to its wildly inexpensive (and actually good) $2.75 burger; later, Kim added equally affordable deals on rotisserie chicken and bibimbap buffet, particularly in its Fidi outpost. But some complained on channels like Reddit that, while the prepared foods deals couldn't be beat, the groceries — no matter how vast the selection (including New York-based brands otherwise hard to find) — were too high-priced. This week, Kim is making amends and posted to Instagram saying, 'I'm sorry for the shitty high prices and you were right. I thought I was putting the right mark up but if the majority of the community is saying it's too expensive, then it's too expensive, end of story.' The timing is spot-on: As consumers brace for another round of price hikes at all grocery stores – in part because of President Trump's whiplash tariffs – people are anxious. So far, Young has lowered some prices around his shop, but he has about '20,000 items' more. It's a move that caught the attention of the New York Times yesterday. 'Jubilee's prices tallied to $30 more expensive than a nearby chain store,' Kim told the publication. 'That's a number that you can't really ignore.' Will Kim be able to stay in business as he drops prices to match bigger stores? 'I don't know if he fully understands the consequences,' videographer Rob Martinez – who also sat down with Kim – told author Pete Wells, 'I assume he does.' Asian market chain 99 Ranch will debut in Flushing at 37-11 Main Street, between 37th and 38th avenues, on July 25. To celebrate the opening, the shop will have specials all weekend, as well as a lion dance and a ribbon-cutting ceremony. A smart rebrand After opening in February, Golden HOF and NY Kimchi — the combination, bi-level Korean restaurants near Rockefeller Center (16 W. 48th Street, near Fifth Avenue)— is simplifying. Owner Sam Yoo is taking two separate menus and folding items from both spots into a singular brand, calling the restaurant Golden Hof Korean Bar & Grill. The streamline will be easier for guests to understand, says Yoo, who also owns downtown's Golden Diner. Moving forward, it will be one menu on both floors – aside from the Korean barbecue, which will be in the grill room on the lower level.

Temu Under Fire: Nachawati Law Group Aids Kentucky in Consumer Protection Lawsuit

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dallas-based Nachawati Law Group is working with Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman's Office in a lawsuit against Temu, the Chinese-owned shopping app accused of sweeping users' personal data, violating consumer privacy laws and selling counterfeit goods. Through promises of bargain-basement prices on a dizzying array of consumer and household goods, the Temu shopping app has become one of the most popular apps in the United States. However, the app also collects massive amounts of information about its customers. 'This app was designed to get data from the customers who use it, and the owners use it as a lure for that purpose,' said firm founder Majed Nachawati. 'The worst part is that these breaches of privacy are all being done without the customers' knowledge or consent.' Kentucky consumers are among the millions who have been exploited, which is why the Attorney General's office there decided to enlist the services of Nachawati Law Group to take action against the company for allegedly violating the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), violating the common law of that state, and profiting from unlawful acts. 'Violation of customer privacy is just one concern with this app,' said Nachawati Law Group trial lawyer Brian McMath. 'It is a hub for consumer fraud – from advertising items that look nothing like what eventually arrives, to faking customer reviews, to using consumer payment information to order items the customer never asked for.' Further, the lawsuit details how Temu routinely takes advantage of storied Kentucky brands by advertising and selling counterfeit products, from fake Louisville Slugger bats to imitation University of Louisville merchandise. The AG says the sale of these counterfeit goods harms Kentucky's economy and erodes trust in its greatest companies. The state is seeking civil penalties and restitution of up to $2,000 per violation of the KCPA, as well as any further relief the court deems appropriate. The case is Commonwealth of Kentucky vs. PDD Holdings Inc. et al., cause no. 25-CI-00232 in the Commonwealth of Kentucky Woodford Circuit Court. Nachawati Law Group represents individuals in mass tort litigation, businesses and governmental entities in contingent litigation and individual victims in complex personal injury litigation.
