Congress to stage protest outside Assembly against slum demolitions
The Congress's Delhi unit on Sunday said it will stage a protest outside the Assembly on the first day of the Monsoon Session on Monday, primarily against the demolition drives carried out in slum clusters across the city. The party said it will raise other issues such as the 'deteriorating law and order' situation, the 'false promise' of ₹2,500 per month to the women, and waterlogging. It will also protest against the school education Bill for being 'anti-parent and anti-education'. Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav said party members met slum dwellers, who he said are living in 'constant fear of being displaced'. 'The BJP government, since it came to power, has already displaced 15,000 families,' the Delhi Congress chief said, adding that slum dwellers should not be displaced without alternative arrangements even if there is a need to relocate them. 'After Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of demolition of JJ Clusters in the Lok Sabha, the Chief Minister of Delhi [Rekha Gupta], under pressure, said that not a single slum in Delhi will be demolished, but on the other hand, asserted that the slums along the railway lines cannot be saved. He [Rahul Gandhi] urged the Delhi government to clarify its intentions towards the slum dwellers, instead of playing with the lives of the poor people,' Mr. Yadav said. Alleging that the Arvind Kejriwal government has locked thousands of flats constructed by the Congress under the Rajiv Rattan Housing Scheme, aimed at providing better living conditions for the poor, for 11 years, Mr. Yadav said, 'Those houses should be repaired and allotted soon to the residents of slums.' Meanwhile, on Saturday, Ms. Gupta inspected government flats built for economically weaker sections (EWS) in 2011 in Sultanpuri, which are in a dilapidated condition. She said that the government is working to meet the demand for one million houses.

Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

I travel out of state to shop at Trader Joe's for my family. Here are 8 items worth the long round trip.
My home state of Wyoming doesn't have a Trader Joe's, so I drive to Colorado for my favorite items. The trip is 57 miles each way, but I pick up things I'm unable to get at my local supermarkets. I fill my shopping cart with staples like pappardelle pasta, Alfredo sauce, and sunscreen. Wyoming has a lot to offer. One thing it doesn't have, though, is Trader Joe's. Although I can get pretty much everything I need from local grocery stores, there are a few special items I travel 57 miles to buy at a Trader Joe's location in Colorado. Here are eight things I cross state lines to buy at the grocery chain. I always grab a bag of Piñata apples when they're available. Although they're not as sweet as my favorite Honeycrisps, I love grabbing a bag of Piñata apples from Trader Joe's. They have a nice tropical flavor and come in a large, 5-pound bag. They never last long in my house, so I always hope they'll still be available on my next shopping trip. Trader Joe's sunscreen doesn't feel greasy. I never wore sunscreen as a kid, mostly because of the smell and greasy feel on my skin. As a mom, though, I always have to make sure my kids are sufficiently protected from UV rays, which means I constantly have my hands covered in sunscreen. However, I don't mind it as much when it doesn't smell or feel greasy. Trader Joe's has a great line of health and beauty products, and I especially love the invisible gel sunscreen. I find that it soaks in quickly after application, and I can't even tell by the smell that it's been applied. Just the Clusters vanilla almond granola makes the perfect snack. Trader Joe's Alfredo sauce is a hit with the whole family. This Alfredo sauce has a nice blend of Parmesan and Romano cheese flavors. Even my picky child eats it without complaining. I like to brown some chicken and simmer it in the Alfredo sauce with broccoli and pasta. The whole process is quick and results in a quick dinner that everyone will eat. Pappardelle is the perfect base for pasta dishes. These wide noodles cook quickly and pair well with any sauce. I only wish they came in a bigger package. Trader Joe's glazed vanilla-bean scones are surprisingly tasty. My husband loves the Trader Joe's cheddar jalapeño pull-apart bread. My husband and older son both love spicy foods, so I like to get them Trader Joe's cheddar jalapeño pull-apart bread. It's not super spicy, but it has a nice kick. I usually buy at least one extra package to freeze, since they typically polish off the first one within days. Trader Joe's pizza crust makes dinner easy.
