Massachusetts to cut sales tax from items up to $2,500 during tax-free holiday
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Mark your calendars because August 9th and 10th is when the sales tax will be cut from items under $2,500 in Massachusetts. The tax-free holiday is a time for small business to boost their sales and bring in new customers looking to save money. The increase in sales during the tax-free weekend last year generated $3.54 million in indirect tax revenues due to increased economic activity, according to the Department of Revenue. During this weekend, most retail items of up to $2,500 purchased for personal use will be exempt from a 6.25 percent sales tax. This is a great opportunity for consumers to purchase items as prices on store shelves spike, driven in part by federally imposed tariffs. New trade deal with China in the works Meals Motor vehicles Motorboats Telecommunications services Gas Steam Electricity Tobacco products Marijuana or marijuana products Alcoholic beverages Any single item whose price is more than $2,500 An item of clothing is exempt from the sales tax unless the piece of clothing costs more than $175. For items that cost more than $175, the amount over $175 is only subject to tax. Any item will qualify for the tax exemption if you order and pay for an eligible item over the Internet during the tax-free weekend and during Eastern Daylight Time. No sales tax is due on that purchase, even if the delivery occurs after the sales tax holiday weekend. Layaway sales do not qualify during the tax-free weekend. In Massachusetts, all retailers must take part in the sales tax holiday. If you are taxed in error during the weekend, the business is responsible for giving you a refund of the tax you paid. The Massachusetts law was put into place in 2018, which was sponsored by Senator Adam Gómez (D-Springfield) and Representative Carole A. Fiola (D-Fall River). 'Lowering costs for Massachusetts residents and supporting local businesses is critical for our communities in this time of economic uncertainty,' said Senate President Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland). 'I'd like to thank Senator Gómez, my colleagues in the Senate and our partners in the House for their work to set this year's sales tax holiday.' 'This year's temporary suspension of the sales tax will bring consumers needed economic relief while boosting revenue for small businesses and retailers,' said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). 'I want to thank Chair Fiola and my colleagues in the House, along with our partners in the Senate, for their annual support for this economic development initiative.' 'The sales tax holiday is a wonderful opportunity for our residents to get out into their communities, support local businesses, get their kids ready for school in fall or make a purchase that they've been putting off,' said Senator Gómez, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Community Development and Small Businesses. 'I am glad that our leaders here in the Legislature have been able to work and get this done again for our residents this year, and I look forward to hearing how residents are able to make the most of the tax reprieve.' 'I was proud to sponsor the legislation establishing this year's sales tax holiday that helps boost our economy and provides support and relief for our residents and small businesses,' said Representative Fiola, House Chair of the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. 'This is an important weekend that helps bolster our economy and I applaud my colleagues in passing this legislation to provide individuals, families and businesses across the Commonwealth with some relief.'

Exclusive Helicopter Service Connects Morocco and Málaga
Doha – World Aviation Group has launched a new luxury helicopter service connecting Morocco's northern region with Málaga, Spain. According to Spanish news outlets, this exclusive air link significantly reduces travel time between the Costa del Sol and northern Morocco, catering to high-net-worth tourists and businesspeople seeking efficiency and comfort. The service, which begins this summer, offers rapid air transfers between the Costa del Sol and northern Morocco, targeting the luxury tourism market. This initiative, as framed by Iberian media, positions Málaga as a gateway for exclusive tourism from northern Morocco that can extend to other parts of Andalusia, Spain, or even Europe. The helicopter connection bridges the relatively short distance of just over 150 kilometers between Morocco and Málaga, making these nearby locations even more accessible to each other. World Aviation Group's premium service is designed for clients who value speed, comfort, and personalized experiences. Local news outlet El Periódico de Ceuta reported Fernando Gómez, spokesperson for the company, as describing it as 'a unique proposal, with state-of-the-art helicopters virtually unrivaled in Europe, which will add very significant tourism value to Andalusia.' The service offers two main options: private flights providing rapid connections to key destinations like Morocco or Ibiza, and panoramic flights to discover the Costa del Sol from the air, with prices starting from €235. The offerings can be customized to each user depending on the experience they wish to have. Read also: First Electric Ferry Route to Connect Morocco-Spain with Zero-Emission Vessels World Aviation's flagship aircraft is the Bell 429, a high-end helicopter with capacity for six passengers and two crew members, unique in Europe with this configuration. 'It's a model used by its own manufacturer at international fairs, and our top-level maintenance keeps it like new,' Gómez highlighted. Founded in Málaga in 2010, World Aviation has evolved from a flight school to become a comprehensive air operator. The company now has bases throughout Spain and southern Portugal, holding all key European licenses: ATO (training), AOC (transport), and COE (special operations). The company emphasizes safety with pilots who have more than 5,000 flight hours, many with experience in civil and military missions, reinforcing their commitment to security and efficiency. This achievement stands in stark contrast to Hélity, a Ceuta-based company that since 2020 has announced plans to establish regular routes between Algeciras, Morocco, Málaga, and Gibraltar. Hélity's plan included connecting the Algeciras heliport with Tangier and Tetouan, but stalled due to the heliport not being declared a Schengen border, an essential requirement for operating international flights. While Hélity's proposed routes remain unrealized amid ongoing regulatory hurdles, World Aviation has moved forward with helicopter flights to Morocco after completing the required legal and technical procedures within a few months. With this new service, Málaga strengthens its position as an epicenter for luxury tourism in southern Europe—a development Spanish media describe as a leap toward high-end, sky-bound exclusivity and experiential travel.

‘Gateway to the underworld' discovered beneath ancient temple
Hiyah Zaidi Published May 27, 2025 4:46pm Updated May 27, 2025 4:46pm Link is copied Comments An ancient pyramid in Mexico was found to contain liquid mercury and experts believe it may have been considered as a 'gateway to the underworld'. It's thought that this finding could suggest the existence of a king's tomb or a ritual chamber below one of the most ancient cities of the Americas. The Quetzalcoatl temple – also known as the Feathered Serpent Pyramid – sits in the ancient city of Teotihuacan, Mexico, and is thought to have been built around 1,800 and 1,900 years ago (Picture: Yasemin Kalyoncuoglu/Anadolu via Getty) It remained mysterious for many years, until in 2015, when researchers discovered a large amount of liquid mercury, which they suggested meant the structure was used to 'look into the supernatural world'. Mexican researcher Dr Sergio Gómez had spent six years slowly excavating the tunnel, which was unsealed in 2003 after 1,800 years (Picture: REUTERS/Henry Romero) In the excavation, they found three chambers at the end of a 300ft tunnel that sat almost 60ft below the temple. Near one of the entrances, they found a trove of artefacts which includes jade statues, jaguar remains, and a box filled with carved shells and rubber balls. And of course, they also found liquid mercury. This is not the first time liquid mercury has been found at an ancient site. Dr Rosemary Joyce said at the time archaeologists have found mercury at three other sites around Central America (Picture: INAH/Handout via Reuters) Dr Gómez suggests that the liquid may have symbolised an underworld river or lake. This idea is echoed by Dr Annabeth Headreck, a professor at the University of Denver. She told the Guardian that the shimmering reflective qualities of liquid mercury could have resembled 'an underworld river, not that different from the river Styx' (Picture: REUTERS/Henry Romero) She said: 'Mirrors were considered a way to look into the supernatural world, they were a way to divine what might happen in the future. It could be a sort of river, albeit a pretty spectacular one' (Picture: Apolline Guillerot-Malick/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty) Over the next 16 years, Dr Gómez and his team excavated over 3,000 ceremonial and ritual artefacts and have now developed a comprehensive survey of the pyramid and tunnel using LiDAR scanners and photogrammetry. And a few archaeologists have contributed their knowledge of the pyramid site and its cultural significance to amplify their understanding of the site (Picture: DeAgostini/Getty) The temple of Quetzalcoatl is a monument which lies in the centre of the Mesoamerican Teotihuacan universe. It sits around 12 miles northeast of Mexico City in the ancient city of Teotihuacán. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, and receives around 4.5 million visitors annually. The Aztecs referred it as the place where the Gods were created, and the Quetzalcoatl is the third largest pyramid in the city (Picture: REUTERS/Henry Romero)

Report: Manny Ramirez wants to return to MLB as hitting coach, offered his services to 1 manager
Manny Ramirez's days as a power-hitting player are behind him, but the former Boston Red Sox slugger wants to make a return to Major League Baseball in a different role. A source told MassLive's Sean McAdam that Ramirez reached out to an MLB manager over the winter and offered his services. Advertisement MLB reporter Héctor Gómez posted a video to X of Ramirez taking swings on May 26. Ramirez told Gómez he's 'available to work as a hitting coach for any of the 30 MLB teams.' 'I'm confident I can help any team significantly improve their offense,' Ramirez told Gómez. It's been 14 years since Ramirez, 52, was last part of an MLB team. He was a player-coach for Triple-A Iowa — the Chicago Cubs' minor league affiliate — in 2014. Ramirez then became the team's hitting consultant in 2015. Ramirez, a 2004 World Series champion with Boston — is one of 28 players to be in the elusive 500 home runs club. He had 274 homers with the Red Sox. Advertisement While Ramirez wants to bring what he knows about hitting to an MLB team, it's unclear whether it will actually come to fruition.
