Walmart made $56 billion last year – a little over $1 billion a week.
That fortune is carved up between the Walton family – Jim, Rob and Alice Walton, the children of Sam Walton, and then Ann Walton Kroenke and Nancy Walton Laurie, daughters of Bud Walton. Christy Walton, who is the widow of one of Sam’s sons, and 10 grandchildren also get their cut of the dynastic money pie.

BARCELONA, June 29 (Reuters) - As demand for plant-based alternatives to meat rises, Barcelona-based startup Novameat is using its 3D printing technology to manufacture vegetarian "steaks" that it hopes will reach the mass market next year.

Novameat plans to sell its "steaks" directly to consumers and to businesses such as restaurants interested in producing plant-based meat, business development manager Alexandre Campos told Reuters on Tuesday.

The Spanish company, which developed its technology in 2018, was showing how its latest 3D printer produced food at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress (MWC).

"It didn't have the feeling of a traditional steak but I was positively surprised because I did not expect that the texture would be so well achieved," said Ferran Gregori, after trying one of the "steaks" printed at Novameat's stand at the world's largest telecoms gathering...........

Half the population will be offered a third coronavirus jab alongside the flu vaccine from September to reduce the risk of more restrictions this winter. All over-50s will be urged to have the jabs, which is likely to mean receiving one in each arm, as ministers try to “protect freedom” by ensuring that immunity does not wane during the busiest period for the NHS. Jonathan Van-Tam, the deputy chief medical officer for England, said that getting through the winter without returning to lockdown measures was “heavily dependent” on keeping protection from vaccines high.

ZURICH, June 28 (Reuters) - Ten sandstone slabs called the "10 Commandments Vol. 2" are being carted across Switzerland in a work by conceptual artists Frank and Patrik Riklin.

"Trust insanity and question the conventional" and "Create new realities and make them happen", are among the instructions the Swiss brothers have etched into the tonne of stones, inspired by their own ways of working over the last decade. The twins created the 100 kg slabs last year and placed them underwater in a stretch of Zurich's old moat in the heart of the city's financial district……
