ABC News: Top Stories | First wave of tariff refunds will hit some businesses tomorrow

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The first wave of tariff refunds is set to start hitting American businesses’ bank accounts, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection reporting that over 330,000 importers paid $166 billion in tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act before the Supreme Court ruled the program illegal. By April 26, at least 75,000 firms had applied for refunds through a new online portal, though about 15 % of claims were rejected for errors or ineligible shipments. Large companies anticipate sizable payouts—Walmart reportedly is due $10 billion, Target $2 billion, Nike $1 billion and Macy’s $320 million—and say the money will be used to pay down debt, rehire staff, restock inventory, or possibly lower prices, rather than being passed directly to consumers. Shipping firms such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL will refund customers for packages affected by the tariffs, but shoppers should not expect personal rebates for higher prices paid last year, which the Tax Foundation estimates cost the average household roughly $700.

Xtreme Sabotage

It’s August 2022, and Arden Power and Ronald White, best friends from Carston who enjoy helping businesses and the police solve crimes and mysteries to the point where they are relatively well-known, are on vacation in the city of Egington to watch the Xtreme Sports Competition. After their last case, they aren’t in too much of a mood to work on another case, especially while they are on vacation. Those plans go to the wayside when, during the first day of the event, clear cases of sabotage of the games have occurred. Initially rebuffed in their offer to help the CEO of the Xtreme Sports Competition, Bryson Millington, and the CEO of the Eglington Xtreme Sports Competition Organizing Committee, Edward Pencopine, another competition getting affected causes the sponsors of the event to force both CEOs to change their minds, and hire Arden and Ronald to take on the case. Having to interrupt their vacation, Arden and Ronald are placed undercover as maintenance people for the games to try and catch the saboteur and his minions before any more harm is done to the event, including the fans and athletes getting injured due to the vandalism. Can Arden and Ronald catch the culprits, or are the mastermind and his goons going to prove to be too much to handle?

The Treasure of Milky Lake

Billy Barber, Sarlene Thorus, and Carl Woodson are friends who just finished Grade 5 at Retti Elementary School in Reindeer Falls. They have just found out that, by coincidence, they would be all on vacation at a popular tourist destination called Milky Lake together, the first time ever that they would all be on vacation together. When they get to Milky Lake, with Billy's younger brother Kyle and Carl's younger sister Karlee, they decide to go north away from the main trails in the woods to find a place to play. They come across an intersection with a game trail, and decide to start playing there. As they are playing, they drift away east from this intersection towards a clearing, where they find an abandoned cabin. They explore the cabin, and find a map and a diary inside the drawers of the desk. After examining the diary, they return to their motel to study the map, and decide to look for the treasure. However, their parents and Sarlene's older brothers Luke and Petros decide to join them on their treasure hunt because the parents feel that the children are too young to go alone to explore an area that had been undisturbed by humans for 100 years. As they are on their treasure hunt, they face some challenges along the way to the treasure.

US Top News and Analysis | Target is trying to win back busy families from Walmart, starting with the baby aisle

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Target is rolling out “baby boutiques” in roughly 200 stores—about 10 % of its footprint—to showcase premium baby gear such as UPPAbaby, Stokke, Bugaboo and higher‑end strollers, letting shoppers touch, feel and test products that were previously only in specialty boutiques. The initiative is a centerpiece of a broader effort by the new CEO, Michael Fiddelke, and Chief Merchandising Officer Cara Sylvester to revive sales after a three‑year slump by deepening relationships with busy families, who tend to shop more frequently and spend twice as much as the average customer. By upgrading the baby department, expanding same‑day pickup and delivery, and investing $5 billion in store remodels, Target hopes to regain market share from rivals like Walmart and Amazon, boost overall traffic, and lift its forecasted 2 % year‑over‑year sales growth, even as it faces competition, a looming teachers‑union boycott, and pressure from higher gas prices.
