Spotify to raise premium subscription price in select markets from September
This March 20, 2018 file photo shows the Spotify app on an iPad in Baltimore. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File) Spotify said on Monday it would increase monthly price of its premium individual subscription in select markets from September, as the Swedish streaming giant looks to improve margins. The company's shares jumped nearly eight per cent. They have gained about 40 per cent so far this year. The subscription price will rise to 11.99 euros (US$13.86) per month from 10.99 euros in markets including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. Spotify said subscribers will receive an email explaining the price rise over the next month. Price increases in the past, combined with cost-cutting efforts in recent years, have helped it to achieve its first annual profit for 2024. The company saw an increase in monthly active users and premium subscribers during the second quarter, while higher taxes related to employee salaries led it to post a loss during the period and weighed on its third-quarter profit forecast. Spotify has been expanding its library of video content to attract subscribers, including through its partner program, which is designed to help podcast creators by offering them monetization options. A growing number of creators are joining the Spotify Partner Program, resulting in a significant increase in video content on the platform, CEO Daniel Ek had earlier told Reuters. The streaming company is also benefiting from Apple's approval of its U.S. app update to show subscription prices and external payment links, after a judge barred the iPhone maker from charging commission on off-app purchases. Ek said this change has led to 'a very positive uptick' in the U.S. If similar rules are adopted in Europe and the UK, it would benefit both Spotify and other app developers. --- Reporting by Jaspreet Singh in Bengaluru; Editing by Shilpi Majumdar

Jim Redpath, founder of North Bay mining contractor, has died
Jim Redpath is best known for founding J.S. Redpath Ltd., a mining contracting company specializing in shaft sinking based in North Bay, when he was just 26 years old. James (Jim) Stockton Redpath, 88, died Aug. 2 in St. John's, Nfld., after a 'courageous 20-year journey with Parkinson's disease,' his obituary said. Redpath is best known for founding J.S. Redpath Ltd., a mining contracting company specializing in shaft sinking based in North Bay, when he was just 26 years old. It's now known as Redpath Mining Contractors and Engineers. Jim Redpath grew up at a mine site in Val-d'Or, Que, the eldest child of James and Margaret Redpath. 'As a teenager, he worked two formative summers on a small exploration boat in Hudson Bay, an experience that sparked both his enduring work ethic and a deep love of the Canadian North,' his obit said. Redpath earned his degree in mining engineering from McGill University before founding his famous mining contracting company. 'Under his leadership, the company … laid a foundation of technical excellence and integrity, eventually becoming a global leader in mining services,' his obit said. 'He stepped away from the company at age 50, proud of its trajectory and legacy.' 'Under his leadership, the company … laid a foundation of technical excellence and integrity, eventually becoming a global leader in mining services.' — Jim Repath obituary The company started with only four employees in October 1962. When it celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2022, there were more than 6,400 staff around the world, including 200 in North Bay. Five years after he founded J.S. Redpath Ltd., the company secured five major projects. One of the projects, Creighton Mine, No. 9 Shaft, located in Ontario, was the deepest North American shaft at that time. After leaving the mining world, Redpath studied art curation at Sotheby's in New York and went on to lead the Capitol Arts Centre in North Bay for several years, supporting local artists and fostering cultural growth. 'In later years, Jim and his wife Bobbi settled in St. John's … a place he held close to his heart,' his obituary said. 'There, they became deeply involved in the city's vibrant arts community.' Honorary doctorates In recognition of his contributions to industry and the arts, he received honorary doctorates from both McGill University and Nipissing University and served as the first Chancellor of Nipissing in 1994. He was awarded Queen Elizabeth II's Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals and the Order of Ontario. He is survived by his wife and partner of over 50 years, Bobbi, 'with whom he shared a rich and joyful life,' his obit said. 'He was a loving and supportive father to Carolyn, Lorraine, John and Sarah, and a proud grandfather to five grandchildren. He was predeceased by his siblings, Anne and John. Jim's life was one of vision, reinvention, and quiet philanthropy. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.' A Celebration of Life will be held on Aug. 20 at 4 p.m. at The Rooms in St. John's, Newfoundland. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Parkinson Canada or a local arts organization in Jim's memory.

(AG) and its insurance subsidiaries, Assured Guaranty UK Limited (AGUK) and Assured Guaranty (Europe) SA (AGE). All the ratings have Stable Outlooks. In its August surveillance report affirming the AA+ ratings of AG, AGUK and AGE, KBRA cited: 'AG's rating reflects its substantial claims-paying resources, strong risk management platform, and leadership position in the financial guaranty market.' 'AG maintains a robust capital position, with claims-paying resources that provide meaningful protection against KBRA's modeled stress-case loss scenarios.' 'The merger of Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (AGM) into AG in 2024 has simplified the organizational structure and improved capital and regulatory efficiency.' 'AG's conservative investment approach, experienced management team, and diversified business platform support its ability to manage through credit cycles.'

These agreements are key factors in KBRA's financial strength ratings for both entities.' KBRA also stated that, 'In 2024, AG originated approximately $32 billion in gross par, its highest annual total in over a decade. Growth was led by strong U.S. municipal production and selective participation in international infrastructure and structured finance.'
