A
former military weapons depot is now a track where companies can test
their autonomous cars in private. The media has never set foot in the
guarded GoMentum Station, until now. The track is not only attracting
the attention of automakers like Mercedes and Honda, but also tech
companies like Google and Apple. CNET's Brian Cooley shows us how Honda
is testing its latest self-driving car there.
Just
in time for the summer road-trip season, shares of Cracker Barrel
jumped Wednesday after the company reported earnings and announced a
special dividend of $3.25 a share, payable on July 29. Adjusted earnings
of $1.82 a share beat analyst estimates of $1.80 a share. The company
was helped in its fiscal third quarter by in increases in same store
restaurant and retail sales which were up 2.3 percent and 2.2 percent
respectively. The company also increased its full-year earnings
guidance, which has not been something commonly heard this earnings
season. Cracker Barrel now projects full-year earnings to be between
$7.75 and 7.85 a share. Same store sale increases are expected in the
range of 2 to 2.5 percent, coming in line with the most recent quarter's
result. Cracker Barrel CEO Sandra Cochran also hinted that diners will
be excited by the chain's summer menu offerings. Something to think
about when planning your next weekend road-trip!

Amur
Minerals Corporation’s (LON:AMC) chief executive, Robin Young, says the
company may be able to increase the mine life of its Kun-Manie nickel/
copper prospect by 18 months after in-fill drilling tests showed the
high grade area extends further than previously thought.
“We’re very
encouraged that this is just an add-on to the project,” says Young,
adding that “just doing some simple maths, we may have added 18 months
of reserve to this.”
He tells Proactive Investors that the extension
of the high grade area and longer mine life presents the firm, and
investors, with “much more of an upside potential.”
Young says that
the drill programme is a month ahead of schedule and will likely finish
towards the end of September although he added that Amur is going to
“continue turning the drills as long as [it] possibly can."
Henrik
Busch Larsen, chief executive at Unibio, believes the company is in a
great position as it looks to the future and is excited by the
opportunities to develop in the animal feed market.
The company has developed technology that allows methane gas to be converted into animal feed.
“This
is a huge market; you have a production of a thousand million tonnes of
feed being produced every year, so we’re tapping into a very, very
large market.”
He says that stepping up from semi industrial scale to
full industrial scale will be both a challenge and exciting, and he’s
confident that once that step is made, Unibio will go from strength to
strength.
“Once we have delivered the technology full-scale, you’re going to see that things are going to progress very quickly,” he said.

Automakers
are developing anxiety in the face of the growing competition that
carpooling presents to the industry. According to Mary Meeker's latest
Internet Trends report which came out this morning, UberPOOL now
accounts for 20 percent of all Uber rides worldwide. Automakers today
feel that people don't want to own cars but are more interested in
simply getting rides. General Motors recently invested in Lyft. This is
just one example of how traditional carmakers are experiencing tech
envy.

Chartered
commercial and private aircraft specialist, Air Partner PLC (LON:AIR),
is bucking the trend and growing in the luxury air travel market, says
chief executive Mark Briffa.
“If you look at the private jet space
today, a lot of the numbers coming out are pretty much saying that it’s
flat or it’s not growing,” says Briffa, adding “that’s not where we
are”.
Briffa also explained the reasoning behind the company’s latest
acquisition, Baines Simmons, an aviation safety consultancy it acquired
last summer for £6mln.
“We felt it’s a space…where we see a growing
market not crowded with competition, but fundamentally for us as well
it’s all around adding more value to the customer.”
Briffa adds that
Air Partner is always on the lookout for further acquisitions, but
stresses that it must be the “right opportunity”.

On
Tuesday night, the 46-year-old, born Shawn Carter, used his verse on
Pusha T's new song "Drug Dealers Anonymous" to address another critic:
conservative pundit Tomi Lahren.
Lahren
said: "Your husband was a drug dealer. For 14 years, he sold crack
cocaine. Talk about protecting black neighborhoods. Start at home."
Jay
Z pulled no punches with his response. He sampled Lahren's critique at
the beginning of his verse to make it clear who his rhymes were aimed
at.
"For 14 years he sold crack cocaine," Lahren's voice echoes
before Carter begins rapping: "Fourteen-year drug dealer and still
counting, who deserves the medal of freedom is my accountant. He's been
hula-hooping through loopholes, working around s***. IRS should've had
the townhouses surrounded. ... Thanks to the lawyers."
Carter has spoken with little shame about his drug-dealing past since his first album debuted in 1996.
His
response to Lahren didn't just confirm her accusation; it implied that
he's still finding ways to profit from the drug money that
was reportedly used to launch his music career.
Lahren, not one
to back down, replied Wednesday morning with a tweet referencing
Carter's 2003 hit "99 Problems." She tweeted, "I've got 99 problems but
trust me, being on your rap ain't one."
Carter appears carefree
about both his past life and his present conflict with Lahren. The
rapper closed his verse with a Snapchat-inspired joke about the drug
raids he once feared: "Damn, Daniel. FBI keeps bringing them all-white
vans through."
He can afford to have a cavalier attitude about his former activities, as the statute of limitations has likely passed.
And in 2015, President Barack Obama shared plans to significantly change how the justice system handles drug offenders.
"For
nonviolent drug crimes, we need to lower long mandatory sentences or
get rid of them entirely," Obama said last July. Through May, the
president commuted the sentences of 306 prisoners, many of whom were
charged in connection with the distribution of crack cocaine.

At
least 10 people were killed and more than 40 were injured Wednesday
after gunmen and a suicide bomber attacked a popular hotel in Somalia's
capital of Mogadishu. Officials say the death toll will likely
increase.
Somali special forces intervened, but it’s unclear if
there are any attackers still in the hotel. Two of those killed
were prominent Somali lawmakers.
Al-Qaeda-affiliated group
Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack. Al-Shabab has carried
out several deadly attacks across eastern Africa, including an attack on
a Kenyan university in 2015 that killed 147 people.
The attack
comes on the heels of a U.S. Department of Defense announcement that a
recent airstrike targeted senior Al-Shabab commander Abdullahi Haji
Daud.
While he didn’t confirm Daud's death, Pentagon Press
Secretary Peter Cook said the strike "will disrupt near-term attack
planning, potentially saving many innocent lives."
