Virgo energy brings into focus your romantic feelings and any matters in your love life that you have been processing. The Moon in Sagittarius today will deeply connect you to your own heart and all your feelings lately. Let your love light shine, and don’t be afraid of what happens next; it just may be everything you have ever dreamed of. When Jupiter is retrograde, it brings up themes of inner reflection involving your choices and the motivating factors for what you decide. This is the week when you get to start putting into practice what you have been in the process of learning. In Scorpio, this is the release not just of people or situations but also of the emotional weight you have carried around, which has prevented you from accepting what you truly need to receive from a relationship and the person you love. If you have been thinking of moving or even setting out on a trip together, this may be the first step to making these dreams a reality. Venus in Cancer connecting with Mars in Taurus is an interesting theme for you this week. This has been a theme lately of how you can contact your truth to speak it to those around you, especially your partner. The First Quarter Moon occurs in Scorpio today, again intensifying the energy that Venus and Mars have been bringing into your lives all week. Venus in Cancer and Mars in Taurus bring the support of moving beyond where you have felt stuck as they unite at the beginning of the week. This also would be a wonderful time to sit down with your partner and plan for whatever it seems may be coming up next for you as a couple.

The First Week Of August Won't Be Easy For Any Sign, But You'll ... (Elite Daily)

Ready or not, change is coming for every zodiac sign in your August 1 weekly horoscope.

On Aug. 1, Mars, Uranus, and the North Node are all linking up in your fifth house of pleasure and creativity, calling for you to assess how you prioritize fun in your life. As Mars forms a conjunction with Uranus and the North Node in your eighth house this week, you’ll be called to assess the boundaries you may need to implement in your relationships with others now. As the freedom-oriented sign of the zodiac, it’s important that you don’t limit yourself too much, so be sure to listen to what your body’s craving now; it can tell you a lot. While this is an area where you’re slower to embrace sudden change, the influence of the North Node is aligning you with long-term stability and security in this area now. As the acts of service sign of the zodiac, Mercury in Virgo allows you to effortlessly organize, plan, and problem-solve, making this week a pretty busy one for you. This week, you may find that the action you’re aiming to take in your career is being challenged by someone, whether it be a romantic or business partner. As Mars, Uranus, and the North Node conjoin in your 11th house of friends and alliances this week, you’ll notice some major shifts when it comes to community this week. On Aug. 1, Mars will form a conjunction with the North Node and Uranus. This is a pretty disruptive way to kick things off, since Mars is the planet of conflict and action, and Uranus is the planet of shakeups and radical change. With the North Node in the mix, this transit is all about leaning into newfound security and stability, since this conjunction is taking place in the fixed earth sign of Taurus. As a sign that avoids change, you can expect the adjustments you’re being called to make now a little uncomfortable, but ultimately they’ll be for the best. This week, you may find that you’re up against something that seemingly won’t budge, or something that’s demanding you to make a decision (whether you’re ready for it or not). It’s the perfect time to pace yourself; try not to make any major choices that you haven’t thought through. However, while the sun may not be changing signs yet, there will be some other pretty intense energy taking place in the cosmos this week, making your August 1, 2022 weekly horoscope all about confronting tension and conflict in your birth chart. Mars and Saturn will be taking center stage this week, and as the two malefic planets in astrology, it may not exactly be a walk in the park.

These 3 Zodiac Signs Will Have The Best Week, As Long As They ... (StyleCaster)

This week, erratic Uranus and aggressive Mars are turning things up a notch. Here's why these 3 zodiac signs are thriving despite the chaos.

Granted, you’re typically accustomed to honing in on the strategy and intricate details of the process, but you may have to do things a little differently this time. Going with the flow is your superpower this week, because the sooner you’re able to make peace with the changes ahead, the sooner you’ll be able to reach your destiny. Some of you could also begin a life-long friendship and/or romance in the midst of this week’s astro forecast, but it all depends on your ability to trust the process. Something about your perception of others and the world around you is transforming (and it’s likely catching you off guard in the process). This might have to do with the aspirations, goals and social connections you’ve been choosing to nurture, which means you’re *finally* seeing the bigger picture. Forming a sweet sextile with Mars and Uranus, the planet of love will bring you a boost of romance, finances and pleasure. Taurus rules everything that is secure, stable and solid, but the cosmic impact of Uranus means everything is about to shift in a *major* way.

If it had you feeling frustrated, why not check out our guide to the best Wordle starting words to give you a leg-up next time? You must adhere to every clue, and make sure every single word you enter is potentially the answer. There's also Waffle, which is about swapping letters in a completed grid to complete all the words; Moviedle, which shows you an entire movie in a tiny space of time and challenges you to guess the movie within six guesses; and Quordle, which tasks you with solving four Wordles at once with the same guesses. If Wordle is starting to get too easy, there are a few ways you can make the game more challenging for yourself. If after all that Wordle is still too easy for you, then you could always try one of the many other Wordle-inspired games online that have cropped up over the past year. The New York Times has also been careful never to allow what they consider to be rude words as the answer to a Wordle puzzle. The game was released in October 2021, and by the end of the year the game had two million daily players. So after a bit of refinement, Wardle released it to the public on his website, Power Language. With each guess, the individual letters of your chosen word will highlight green if they're in the correct place, or yellow if they're in the wrong place. Alternatively, if you're just in search of the full answer and/or its definition, scroll down below the video to view the spoiler.

It’s safe for you to let somebody into your sacred space. It’s safe for you to open your heart again. But, you are as free as you want to be, and your definition of what freedom means is allowed to evolve with time. You may find yourself feeling imprisoned by all the things that have been providing you with a sense of security in this ever-changing world. The process of disillusionment can feel like walking through glass shards, but it is what will ultimately liberate you from the vicious cycle that you have been stuck in for lifetimes now. Accepting that it is all a part of the growth and evolution process, and that the Universe is holding space for you to emerge as the most empowered version of yourself. We all go through periods of being and periods of doing. Maybe it’s not you, Cancer. Maybe their lack of empathy or communication has to do with how they are feeling at this moment. This is the secret to bringing harmony and balance into your interpersonal relationships. To understand how your self-worth is tied to what you bring to the table. To throw yourself into work and other responsibilities as a way to escape the inner landscape. But, you need to do what you need to do in order to find clarity, beautiful.

GIEWS Country Brief: Algeria 1-August-2022 - Algeria (ReliefWeb)

News and Press Release in English on Algeria about Agriculture and Food and Nutrition; published on 1 Aug 2022 by FAO.

In the first quarter of 2022, food prices increased by 13 percent year on year, up from the levels close to 0 percent in the second half of 2020. The economy is expected to grow by 3.9 percent year on year in 2022, up from 3.4 percent in 2021. Despite the high international energy prices and the increased interest in the country as a supplier of natural gas as an alternative to the Russian Federation, high unemployment levels prevail, affecting the purchasing power of the population. In January 2022, as a response to high international prices and with the aim to increase the level of local procurement, the government increased the purchasing prices for the 2022 crop. Overall, the country imports cereals from a variety of origins, making it less vulnerable to disruptions in exports from Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Harvesting of the 2022 winter grains is expected to be completed by mid-August, with crops in the highlands maturing the latest.

Similarly, the harvest of oilseeds is likely to decrease as production of sunflower seed is expected at 7.5 million tonnes (45 percent below the previous year's level), while production of soybeans and rapeseed is expected at 2.0 million and 1.7 million tonnes, respectively. The current forecast for the 2022 cereal harvest indicates a production of about 51 million tonnes: 20 million tonnes of wheat, 24 million tonnes of maize and about 7 million tonnes of other coarse grains. Overall, in 2022, the reduced area harvested and the decline in yields due to hampered access to inputs, caused by limited access to financial services and high prices, are expected to result in a reduction of cereal production by 40 percent compared to the previous year's exceptional results 3 and by about 30 percent compared to the five-year average level. Although some people have recently returned to their homes, there are still large numbers of IDPs located in the western parts of the country. In addition, export licensing requirements were introduced for other commodities, including wheat and meslin ( FPMA Food Policy ). On 1 July, the government adopted Resolution 759 , which cancels wheat and meslin export licenses, lifts the export ban on oats and introduces export licenses. Between 20 and 30 percent of the area planted to the 2022 winter crops may not be harvested as a result of direct destruction, constrained access to fields, labour shortages and lack of economic resources.
