Indian Android One maker Lava may buy Nokia's Chennai plant
India's smartphone up-and-comer is in the frame to take over Nokia's old Chennai facility.
By Liam Tung | November 28, 2014 -- 11:25 GMT (03:25 PST) | Topic: Mobility
Nokia's former handset manufacturing plant in Chennai may be given a new lease of life if reports that device maker Lava is interested in acquiring the facility are true.
According to the Economic Times, Lava is considering using the Chennai plant for the production of its own handsets, which are sold under the Lava and Xolo brands. Currently Lava produces its phones in China, but is reportedly looking to invest locally and bring its manufacturing to India.
Nokia winds up production at Chennai factory after agreement with workers
After Nokia's Chennai factory churned out its final orders for Microsoft, employees have accepted a severance package.
Lava is one of a number of large handset makers to have emerged in India in recent years, and is one of the key partners in Google's Android One platform push for emerging markets , alongside Indian rivals Karbonn and Micromax.
Nokia wound down operations at the factory in November after a temporary deal with Microsoft to produce handsets came to an end . The factory wasn't included in Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's handset business in April for €5.4bn . At the time of the sale, the facility employed around 6,000 staff, many of whom accepted Nokia's redundancy offer, although hundreds remained employed when the factory's operations were suspended.
Nokia was unable sell the Chennai facility due to a previous asset freeze imposed by the Indian tax authority ahead of any settlement of an ongoing tax dispute . Nokia has said the freeze prevented the company from selling the site, adding a "fully functional electronics manufacturing ecosystem" was at stake for India.
According to the Economic Times, Nokia recently renewed the factory's licence in order to keep machinery there in working order and maintain its value ahead of a possible future sale.
As for Lava, the rising star of India's smartphone market is looking to bring manufacturing back to India from China.
According to analyst firm IDC, Lava is currently the third largest and fastest growing smartphone maker in India, with an eight percent share of shipments in the third quarter, up from six percent in the previous quarter.
"Being one of the fastest growing handset vendors, Lava has witnessed growth in both their brands, i.e. Lava and Xolo. Both the brands are currently treated as independent line of business in the marketplace," IDC noted.
The company surpassed Karbonn, the former third-place device company, with help from its strong feature phone sales.
In a statement to ZDNet, Nokia said there had been interest in its facility from prosepctive buyers that it could not name.
"Nokia can confirm that it has been approached by parties interested in buying the Chennai facility, but due to confidentiality reasons we will not comment further on this topic," a spokesman said.
The Finnish company is also pressing the point that it's in India's interest to lift the asset freeze.
"Nokia's main focus at the moment is what we have consistently said since October: with production at Chennai suspended, we call on the government to lift the asset freeze imposed by the tax authorities so we can explore potential opportunities for a sale to a suitable buyer," the Nokia spokesman said.
"This is an urgent prerogative not only for Nokia, who is no longer in the business of making mobile phones, but also for the country to move towards its goal of supporting local manufacturing and reducing electronic imports. We believe that an eventual sale would offer a far brighter option for employment in the region and support the government's 'Make in India' initiative."

Apple cider vinegar can also be used to boost hair health, relieve sinus pressure and even acts as an effective insect repellent.
2. Witch Hazel
Witch HazelWitch hazel – a topical astringent derived from the bark and leaves of the North American witch-hazel shrub – has long been recognized by Native Americans for its medicinal properties. This popular herbal remedy is recognized world-wide as a natural cleanser and toner, but witch hazel has many more uses than simply to clarify skin and shrink pores. Use witch hazel to fade bruises, stop bleeding, neutralize bug bites, and much more.
Coconut Oil of all of the 'super foods' on the market, coconut oil may just be the reigning champion of them all. Boasting a seemingly endless list of health benefits, organic virgin coconut oil has at least one positive effect on every system in the human body. From skin care, hair care and weight loss to hormone balance and mental acuity, this is one ingredient you definitely need in your home!
4. Epsom Salt
Epsom saltEpsom salt – chemically known as magnesium sulfate – was first discovered in the waters of the like-named spring in Surrey, England. A must-have natural remedy for every home, Epsom salt may be used for everything from washing hair and relaxing cramped muscles to scrubbing dishes and deterring slugs from your garden.
5. Baking Soda
Baking sodaSodium bicarbonate – commonly known as baking soda – is one natural remedy with a long list of health benefits and uses. It can be taken internally by mixing with water, applied topically, and used orally as a mouth rinse. Use baking soda to promote digestive health, reduce acidity in the body, kill parasites, prevent gout, and much, much more! We have baking soda in our natural deodorant Undercover agent.
6. Himalayan Pink Salt
Himalayan Pink SaltThe Himalayas are now the tallest mountains in the world, spanning 2400 kilometers across Asia at the joining of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. However, 250 million years ago, these proud peaks lay at the bottom of a primordial sea. Within that ancient body of water existed a perfect, pristine ecosystem that was slowly pushed skyward as the plates of the earth shifted. The ancient waters evaporated, exposing all of its life-sustaining minerals to the heat of the sun which crystallized them into what we now know as Himalayan pink salt.
Because of the conditions by which it was formed, this purest of sea salts is one of the best sources of natural minerals on the planet. From lowering blood pressure to clearing sinuses, this is one salt you'll be happy to put on your food!
7. Lavender Oil
Lavender oilLavender oil is one of the world's most popular and versatile herbal essential oils. Its health benefits range from pain relief and mental clarity to use as an anti-bacterial cleanser and a natural deodorant. Lavender oil may also be used as the "hero ingredient"in a number of DIY health, home and beauty products – such as a cooling spray, hair spray, sleep balm and so much more
8. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oilTea tree oil is distilled from the leaves of the Australian tea tree, Melalenca alternifolia (not to be confused with extract of the edible tea plant (Camellia sinensus.) Although tea tree oil is highly toxic when ingested, it has a surprising number of topical uses to cure or prevent a whole host of everyday maladies – including acne, nail fungus, insect bites and more. Plus it can be used in a number of cleaning recipes due to its powerful antimicrobial abilities.

Why Your Skin Deserves Organic Beauty Products
Why Your Skin Deserves Organic Beauty Product
by KIRSTEN HUDSON
Just like you nourish your body with organic food, your skin deserves care with organic beauty products. Many non-organic beauty products on the market today include an astonishing amount of scary chemicals. From parabens (chemicals linked to cancer) to formaldehyde to petroleum waxes, an ordinary lotion can contain quite the toxic mixture. Certified-organic skincare products cleanse, tone, exfoliate and moisturize your skin without using any of these noxious artificial chemicals or additives. That's not all, though. Here are a few more reasons to choose organic beauty products for naturally beautiful skin.
They're better for your skin—and your health
What goes on your skin eventually goes in your body. If you slather chemical-filled soaps, lotions and creams over your skin, your body absorbs those toxins. That means common artificial chemicals in conventional beauty products, like phthalates, parabens, petroleum waxes and others, go straight into your body. Yuck! Even worse, many of the chemicals in beauty products have never been tested, so any potential health problems they can cause are virtually unknown.
Your skin will thank you for choosing USDA-certified organic beauty products. These products will only include organic ingredients that meet the same growing standards as organic food. That means no ingredients grown with chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Feed your skin—and body—the good stuff!
They don't contain synthetic fragrances
When you see the term "fragrance" on a beauty product label, take a wild guess as to what it means. Just about anything can make up fragrance, even hundreds of different chemicals. Deemed a trade secret, the FDA doesn't require companies to disclose the ingredients in their fragrances, even though many common ingredients in fragrances include chemicals linked to cancer and other health concerns.
As far as your skin goes, these unspecified "fragrances" can cause irritation and even trigger allergic reactions. Plus, unknown chemicals can mess with your skin's natural pH levels. If your skin just feels off, it might be because of the products you're using.
You won't find "fragrance" listed on organic beauty products labels—so long as the product is USDA-certified organic. Instead, each ingredient that makes up the fragrance will be listed individually. Whether that ingredient is an extract or an essential oil, you'll know exactly what components are creating that lovely scent.
They work better!
Certified-organic beauty products work better simply because they are made with superior ingredients. It's like cooking. A great dish probably doesn't include artificial flavors or fake, processed foods. Instead, it's likely made of pure, fresh and simple ingredients. Beauty products work the same way. Better ingredients mean better results. Those with sensitive skin can especially benefit from organic beauty products that contain high quality ingredients that won't aggravate or worsen skin.
They won't harm the environment
This one isn't specifically for your skin, but we know you eco-conscious beauties will understand that it's too important to ignore. It's often easy to forget about the environmental impact of beauty products. Just one bottle can bring up a lot of uncomfortable eco-questions. Is the packaging recyclable? What about the ingredients in the product? Were they grown with synthetic chemicals and fertilizers? What happens when those chemicals go down the drain? What's that doing to our water supply and the local ecosystems? Multiple these questions by all of your skincare products.
When you use organic beauty products, you can help minimize your environmental impact. First, you won't have to worry about chemicals going down the drain because there won't be any in the bottle. You can also look for organic beauty brands that obtain their ingredients from Fair Trade sources or from local farms and suppliers. And, be sure to check out companies that package their products in glass or biodegradable packaging.

Sustainable cosmetics packaging
Here at True Organic of Sweden we look at the full picture when developing skin care products. For example All You Need Is Me has a tube made out of sugar cane. Here comes words from MJ Deschamps on why it is important!
Packaging – the creativity of sustainability
By MJ Deschamps
Source: cosmeticspackaging.com
Green packaging developments and demand are on the increase in the beauty industry despite the slow recovery from recession, as MJ Deschamps discovers
With waste regulations becoming increasingly tight worldwide, and consumers' environmental consciousness growing, the global personal care products industry has taken note of the lean towards 'green', and is starting to reduce packaging complexity.
This is despite leading organic products marketing research firm Organic Monitor recently releasing a not-so-optimistic report on sustainable packaging in the beauty sector – saying that although packaging has the highest environmental footprint within the realm of cosmetics products, it appears to be largely ignored when beauty companies look at sustainability. Indeed many cosmetics companies, both large and small, seem determined to disprove that claim.
Greater consumer awareness about waste disposal and more stringent government regulations will, according to market research group Global Industry Analysts (GIA), drive the global market for sustainable packaging to US$142.42bn in size by 2015. The GIA's 2010 report, Sustainable (Green) Packaging: A Global Strategic Business Report, identifies the cosmetics and personal care industry as being a key driving force in growing sustainable packaging.
The report says that together Europe and the US account for more than 70% of the global sustainable packaging market and in the US alone recycled material accounts for the largest packaging category, contributing nearly 90% to the total demand.
Meanwhile another recent report from Colorado-based Pike Research goes further by suggesting that the sustainable packaging market is growing much faster than the general packaging industry. Its size is expected to double from $88bn last year to $170bn in 2014, says Pike. Market research firm Mintel has also identified that recycling and eco-friendly materials will play a major role within the beauty industry in 2011, having seen new skin care products with environmentally friendly packaging increase 5% last year, compared to 2009.
"In general terms, all cosmetics manufacturers are looking at packaging which is sustainable and has fewer environmental effects," says Paul Crawford, head of regulatory and environmental services at the Cosmetic, Toiletry & Perfumery Association (CTPA) in the UK.
One popular sustainable material being used in the green packaging sector today is recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET). PET has been a favourite choice for personal care product packaging due to its similarities with glass, and because it is a 100% recyclable material.
Natural ranges need packaging sympatheic to the product message – Luxsit Organic Care chose M&H Plastics for its Naturligt Vis line
With a predicted CAGR of 6.5%, the PET packaging industry is tipped to be worth $42bn by 2015, according to Pira International, the worldwide authority on the packaging, paper and print industry supply chains.
The National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) came out with a study in 2010 that provides lifecycle inventory (LCI) data for recycled PET and high density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic resins. The study's LCI report indicates that incorporating recycled PET resin in the manufacture of a package significantly reduces the environmental footprint of that package in terms of production energy required and greenhouse gas emissions.
The study also found that recycled PET actually requires less energy to produce than the equivalent tonnage of virgin PET resin. The corresponding saving in greenhouse gas emissions amounts to about 1.1 million tonnes of CO² equivalents, according to the study.
Compatible Bioplastics
Although there is growing research in bioplastics packaging, there is still a challenge to creating these materials for the cosmetics industry, since high heat sensitivity and water permeability prevent such packaging being used for products such as creams, lotions and shampoos, according to Organic Monitor.
Several companies are paving the way though, including US-based Mirel, which is currently developing bioplastic materials to replace petroleum polymers such as polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC). Another is one of the UK's leading suppliers of packaging containers, Johnsen & Jorgensen, which recently entered into a distribution deal with Artenius PET Packaging UK to release an environmentally friendly range of recycled PET bottles for the cosmetics industry, which use 25% post-consumer recycled PET material. UK-based Neal's Yard Remedies is also currently using 'post-consumer regrind polyethylene' (PCR) terephthalate bottles for a number of its natural and organic personal care products.
Also, US-based Banana Packaging, another worldwide supplier specialising in biodegradable cosmetics packaging, has recently introduced a new biodegradable product line called EcoBlendz, where packaging products are made from a special additive that when blended with many plastic-based resins such as PE, PET, PS, PP, PVC and PETG, renders them 100% biodegradable.
Brazil-based Braskem has also recently developed a sugarcane polyethylene packaging material that is garnering an increasingly high profile in the beauty industry on account of the fact that it is compatible with a variety of liquid formulations.The material is already being used by key Brazil cosmetics player Natura for a cream hand soap product, while Procter & Gamble (P&G) has included it as part of the packaging for products in its Pantene Pro V hair care range as well as its CoverGirl and Max Factor colour cosmetic ranges.
DuPont sustainability study identifies packaging challenges
The need to package food, consumer and industrial products in a more sustainable and affordable way dominates the worldwide packaging industry, according to DuPont's global survey of consumer packaged goods companies and packaging converters.
To identify the top issues facing the packaging industry, DuPont conducted an online survey of packaging professionals in March 2011. More than 500 packaging professionals were surveyed and over 40% cited sustainability as the toughest challenge while 33% named cost as a major factor.
"Sustainable, cost effective solutions that reduce packaging's environmental footprint are a top goal across geographies," said Bill Harvey, president, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers.
Meeting sustainability challenges requires multiple strategies. Of those respondents working on sustainable packaging:
65% say their efforts are focused on design for recyclability or use of recycled content
57% are focused on weight reduction
41% rely on renewable or biobased materials
25% say they are focused on compostable materials.
"These survey results confirm that there are many pathways to improving packaging sustainability," said Harvey. "It starts with close collaboration throughout the value chain to spark innovation."
In a bid to respond to requirements, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers says it offers customers a number of ways to enhance the sustainability of their products. For example, DuPont Fusabond resins are modified polymers that help bond dissimilar polymers to help facilitate recycling. The high-performance characteristics of the company's Surlyn ionomer help reduce the total amount of material in packaging structures. And DuPont's Biomax Strong modifier is designed to helps bio-based PLA (polylactic acid) products gain more widespread use by enhancing performance attributes that limit its acceptance. Meanwhile Biomax PTT resin, with up to 35% renewably sourced content, can replace petroleum-derived polyesters to help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and net emissions of greenhouse gases without compromising performance, according to the company.
Plant Fibres
Robert Richman is the chairman and manufacturing head at US company Be Green Packaging, whose packaging products are made up of blends of plant fibres and 100% compostable and recyclable materials. He says Be Green recently produced new packaging in the UK and Europe for Procter & Gamble's Gillette Fusion ProGlide razors, and that the main green packaging innovations his company and others are currently moving towards incorporate plant fibres and eco-friendly coatings. "These [ProGlide] packages have a major reduction of PET and plastic resins," said Richman. Be Green's products are blends of plant fibres and are 100% compostable and recyclable.
EcoBlendz by Banana Packaging has an additive that renders materials 100% biodegradable
In the same vein, US-based cosmetics company Urban Decay partnered with HCT Packaging to create the brand's Sustainable Shadow Box, a compact made from bamboo. And America's Tarte Cosmetics developed a reusable Spring Greening palette made from recyclable, sustainable straw. It also uses soy ink on its labels, which contains non-toxic soybean oil that can be easily stripped from paper during the de-inking and recycling process. Tarte has also created a system where consumers can even send their empty containers back to the company and get a discount off their next purchase.
In Italy, Leoplast, the country's specialist in botanical-derived packaging for decorative cosmetics, recently decided to put together cardboard and bioplastics, two renewable raw materials, to design a line called Compostable Make Up. Cardboard is used for the base and cover while plant-derived plastic forms the internal mechanism and the cups containing the powders, resulting in a 100% plant-derived and biodegradable packaging.
"It is a unique combining solution for a sustainable pack from raw material made from vegetal and renewable origins," says Marie-Laure Viellard, PR and communication manager at the Leoplast Group.
Twistub – let's twist again
Twistub – created as a refillable environmentally friendly alternative to pump dispensers – has evolved, according to its makers. The original Twistub's USP lay in its combining the financial and environmental benefits of a refill with the glamorous look and feel of traditional high-end packaging. Featuring a dispenser plus a refill pack, the system is operated by twisting the base to dispense a precise amount of cream or lotion. Once the product has been used, the consumer can buy a new refill and reuse the dispenser again and again.
Now, the team behind Twistub says it has improved the handling of the packaging by introducing a nozzle, meaning that the dispenser can be used for different types of cosmetic creams and lotions. The basics, however, remain the same, as do the main benefits, which include savings in both manufacturing costs and material usage when compared to traditional pump dispensers and airless systems.
"Eco-friendly retail is becoming increasingly cool, with consumers looking for different ways to play their part, while manufacturers are all facing unprecedented pressure to reduce plastic waste from their processes," said Stephen Eldred, a founder of Twistub. "The latest developments for Twistub make it even more attractive to both customers and cosmetic companies. We are still keen to engage with as many cosmetic companies as possible now to give us the best chance of getting Twistub to where it belongs – on the shelf and in people's homes."
Economics & Innovation
Viellard admits that while companies are looking towards moving to green packaging it is not always easy, especially post-recession. "The interest is there and companies are trying to invest in R&D but it's expensive," she says. But Viellard adds that despite cost, Leoplast has been investigating green packaging solutions since 2004. "Global demand for [sustainable packaging] is driven by single use packaging building up in all of the world's environments," she says. "From plastic bags blowing in the wind to the huge garbage slicks in the oceans, package awareness is growing everywhere."
From this summer, in western Europe, P&G will use sugar-based HDPE from Braskem to package its Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion hair care products
Be Green's Richman agrees, adding that while recovery from the recession is now underway, rising prices in recycled materials are not of great concern to his company. "We are finding that business is better than ever as the world is now more aware of sustainable packaging," he says. "[Be Green] is receiving many calls from new cosmetics companies all the time who want to move away from foam and plastics," he says.
Viellard says that while prices for recycled materials are rising, the price of fossil plastics are rising as well. Because of this, companies are often actually getting more bang for their buck by developing bioplastics and recycled materials for their packaging, she explains.
UK company Curtis Packaging has recognised this and announced a boost to its R&D programme at the beginning of 2011 to concentrate on bringing the latest eco-friendly technology to beauty packaging while retaining consumer appeal.
"Last year, we installed a new system which reduced our waste collection – all for recycling – by 80%, as well as sophisticated systems through our sister company, 3D Creative – to create samples and trial runs which substantially cut the environmental impact, and indeed costs for many clients," says Steve Mallet, sales director at Curtis.
A recent Curtis project was with UK designer Orla Kiely, who last year introduced a fragrance range. The product's sustainable cartons were printed on the reverse of an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) accredited material, using vegetable-based ink and a water-based coating.
Looking for sustainable solutions to packaging certainly opens up the door for a lot of innovative, eco-friendly solutions. The Twistub, for example, uses a revolutionary and environmentally aware packaging/refill concept for cosmetic creams. The package comes in two parts, a dispenser and a refill pack. Twisting the base of the pot dispenses a precise amount of the cream through a small aperture in the top of the refill, and when empty, the Twispak can then be replaced and the dispenser reused again and again.
Companies great & small
US-based Burt's Bees has long made a firm commitment to only use packaging made from recycled materials and recently pioneered the use of TerraSkin Wraps, an alternative to paper packaging for soaps that is a treeless and bleach-free paper alternative. TerraSkin is mineral-based, with 80% of its calcium carbonate base being derived from post-industrial building material waste such as limestone scraps.
Meanwhile, UK-based Lush pushes the envelope by delivering more than half of its products (55%) without any packaging at all. Lush saves nearly 6 million plastic bottles globally from selling shampoo bars alone; 90% of all packaging material the company does use is recycled.
Compostable Make Up by Leoplast uses 100% plant-derived and biodegradable packaging, while Curtis provided cartons from FSC accredited material for Orla Kiely and used vegetable-based inks and a water-based coating
Although every little bit helps with smaller cosmetics companies moving towards sustainable packaging, it is nice to know that some of the biggest market players have jumped on the environmental bandwagon too. Estée Lauder's Aveda has reduced its carbon footprint by recycling an estimated 37 million polypropylene caps to ensure that all its packaging is now made up of at least 80% recycled materials. According to Organic Monitor, Aveda is the largest user of PCR plastic in the industry, and its new environmental push is predicted to save an estimated 1 million tons in virgin plastic every year.
Meanwhile Procter & Gamble recently announced a major shift to plant-derived packaging for some of its leading global cosmetic brands, and is using sugarcane-derived plastic from Brazil's Braskem.
L'Oréal also recently helped reduce the environmental impact of its packaging by introducing two new assessment tools to its package design process: its 'sustainable packaging scorecard' (SPS) and 'packaging impact quick evaluation tool' (PIQET).
SPS is a proprietary assessment tool that the company developed and piloted in 2010, the purpose being to evaluate the environmental sustainability of the company's product packaging and to assess each new product under several criteria to determine how environmentally friendly its packaging is.
PIQET is an online tool that identifies and reviews actions to reduce the environmental impact of packaging, particularly at the design development stage.
P&G has announced the first year results of its Environmental Sustainability Supplier Scorecard programme, designed to track and encourage improvement on key environmental sustainability measures in the company's supply chain. The first year focused on assessing whether P&G would receive clear data to measure future improvements and jump-start innovation, and the company found that most suppliers could not only track the requested sustainability measures, but that the process of innovation sharing had begun.
Deployed last year to nearly 400 strategic suppliers, P&G's scorecard is designed to measure performance in three areas: enhancing supply chain collaboration; improving key environmental indicators; and encouraging the sharing of ideas and capabilities to deliver more sustainable products and services to consumers.
"Working with our external partners is clearly critical to realising our long-term environmental vision as a company and this scorecard is a helpful tool to facilitate that collaboration," commented Len Sauers, P&G's vp for global sustainability.
Under the scheme, suppliers are evaluated and scored from 1-5. Those that show exceptional performance are rewarded, while for partners that score poorly, the scorecard forms the basis for joint sustainability improvement plans. The list of participating suppliers has been expanded to approximately 600 and an upgraded version of the scorecard has been introduced for 2011 (www.pgsupplier.com), with changes including a more transparent and consistent rating methodology.
Nano potential
Looking to the future, nanotechnology might bring significant advances, so long as concerns about the migration of nanoparticles can be dealt with. While the European Cosmetics Association Colipa lists nanomaterials as being present in much 'intelligent' food packaging, the technology has only really made its way thus far into the actual beauty products themselves and can be found in sunscreens, skin care and toothpaste.
This slow uptake in nanotech packaging might be due to the cost of developing the new technology, according to Viellard, who says that while companies are trying to invest in R&D, such research is "very expensive".
Crawford says he is optimistic, however, that the technology will soon make its way into cosmetics packaging as further research into the arena is conducted.

"Nanotechnology is regarded as having the potential for enormous innovation across many industrial and scientific sectors," says Crawford. "It should not automatically be regarded with suspicion or as not being green. New sustainable technologies depend on scientific innovation and nanotechnology may be able to play a role."
Eco tube – a vision in green
A US-based biodegradable packaging specialist is currently seeking licensees across the globe for its eco friendly packaging solution for lip balms and other cosmetics formulated for packaging in a tube. Eco Vision's Eco Tube is made from 100% certified post-consumer waste paper, biodegradable adhesives and coating, and may be printed with soy inks.
Eco Vision was recently issued a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for the Eco Tube – formally named 'Paper Tube Packaging with Open End and Coated Cap' – and received a Green Packy Award at 2010's Natural Foods Expo for the product.

Sugarcane a sustainable alternative
At True Organic of Sweden we try to push the envelope further in all aspects, this is why our tubes are made from green polyethylene. 28/04/16 Organic Monitor writes about Sugar Cane as a good replacement to Squalane which originally have been derived from sharks' liver oil and lately from olive oil.
Squalene, a popular personal care ingredient, has been traditionally derived from sharks' liver oil. Growing environmental concerns are leading brands to seek sustainable sources, such as olive oil. However, the stability of the crop is now leading to the emergence of sugarcane as a new source.
Speaking recently to PSFK , Caroline Hadfield, SVP of personal care at Amyris and also its subsidiary Biossance (leading players in the squalane segment), said that sugarcane comes out on top for its more reliable quality. "Olives are a more volatile and climate-dependent crop, therefore, less sustainable than sugarcane," she explained. The sugarcane squalane is also more pure, higher quality and a better ingredient for the consumer. It is easy to formulate with, readily biodegradable and has a very stable supply." Despite consumer enthusiasm for cruelty-free beauty and rising demand for sustainability, moving away from shark-derived squalene is proving a slow process for the beauty and personal care industry. A study last year by NGO Bloom Association found that despite company pledges to use plant-based squalene alternatives, one in five of 72 products tested from across European, Asian and US brands still contained shark liver oil.
"Either brands buy animal squalane, cheaper than vegetable squalane, to achieve a higher margin, or they are deceived by their suppliers who sell the mixed squalane by passing for pure vegetable squalane," Laure Ducos, lead author of the study, explained. Key difficulties in raw material availability are reportedly due to regulations and competition from other industries, minimal governmental support, and western cultural impact.

Civiglio ist ein Stadtteil von Como in der Region Lombardei im Norden Italiens. Er liegt im Westen des Zentrums von Como im Gebirge des Triangolo Lariano auf einer Höhe von rund 600 Metern Seehöhe. Die Nachbarorte von Civiglio sind Brunate im Nordwesten und Ponzate im Südosten.

Radsport
Im Straßenradsport gelangte Civiglio durch das Eintagesrennen der Lombardei-Rundfahrt zu größerer Bekanntheit. Im Jahr 2004 schien der Anstieg erstmals im Finale des Rennens auf, wurde jedoch von der kürzeren und flacheren Ostseite befahren. 2015 wurde erstmals die Südwest-Auffahrt von Granzola befahren, die auf einer Länge von 4,3 Kilometern eine durchschnittliche Steigung von 9,7 % aufweist. Zudem werden im oberen Teil des Anstiegs Rampen von bis zu 14 % erreicht. Neben der anspruchsvollen Auffahrt, stellt auch die technische Abfahrt von Civiglio einen entscheidenden Abschnitt der Strecke dar. So setzte sich im Jahr 2015 der Italiener Vincenzo Nibali in der Abfahrt ab und triumphierte anschließend in Como. Die Südwest-Auffahrt schien seit der Erstbefahrung vier weitere Male im Programm der Lombardei-Rundfahrt auf und soll auch 2022 wieder als vorletzter Anstieg rund 15 Kilometer vor dem Ziel überquert werden.

Neben der Lombardei-Rundfahrt wurde der Anstieg nach Civiglio im Rahmen des Giro d'Italia im Jahr 2019 auf der 15. Etappe überquert. Die Bergwertung der 3. Kategorie sicherte sich damals der Italiener Dario Cataldo.

Q: Bind to simple array of strings If I want to bind a template to a plain old array of strings, what do I put in the ${??} expression?
I hope this snippet isn't too short so as to confuse:

where authors is simply ["a", "b", "c"]

I've tried: val value this and this.toString().  The last two displayed [object Object] so I suspect I'm pretty close there.

A: For unnamed array (JSON like: ["value1", "value2"]), it would be:

$root keyword does the trick.

A: From the documentation, the answer is:
When using a template:

'Food for Thought' lunch and talk - "Hat pins go to war"
Arrive at the Castle from 12 noon to enjoy a pre-lunch drink. A delicious 2-course hot buffet lunch will be served at 12.30pm in the spectacular surroundings of the Saloon, followed by teas and coffees. At 2.00pm this month's 'Food for Thought' talk will be given by Pam Barrett.
Pam says, "Who would imagine that a simple object such as a hat pin could play a significant part in social history? Worn in their millions and made in a huge variety of styles and materials - from gold and gemstones for the rich lady to metal and glass for the scullery maid - they reached their zenith between the late 1800s, when Victorian bonnets gave way to huge Edwardian headgear, and the 1920s, when flapper hairstyles and close-fitting hats became fashionable.
Hat pins and warfare are surprisingly connected in a number of ways. Some were designed to look like weapons - swords, rapiers, halberds, flaming grenades and the like - and some were actually used as weapons, particularly by suffragettes and also by women to defend themselves against male assailants.
Vast numbers of men from Britain and its colonies fought in the First World War in many different regiments. Their uniforms had brass buttons that bore the regimental insignia. At that time, all women wore hats that had to be secured with hat pins. To show support for their menfolk, mothers, wives and sweethearts of servicemen had uniform buttons made into hat pins either professionally or with a file and some solder at home.


About three month's ago, the Photographer's Adventure Club started advertising for interested club members to volunteer for something called Help Portrait. At the time, I didn't have any idea what Help Portrait was, nor did I have any interest in finding out about it. And so I went about my merry way going about my merry business. Then about a month or so ago, I saw another posting in Facebook saying they still need people to lend a hand in the Help Portrait endeavor. By then I had heard a little bit about the project, had gotten some literature on it, and figured I might as well go ahead and volunteer for the day. I am glad I did.
The PAC held it's Help Portrait day at the 1st Congregational Church in downtown Tempe. There were makeup artists, hairstylists, 4 studio stations available, 4 printing stations, entertainment including a magician and a face painter. Snacks and water were also provided. Those that had their photograph taken were given a high quality print and the option of a jump drive with their photos on it. This was all free to those getting pictures taken.
I don't feel that I am a good enough of a wordsmith to accurately describe the way the day affected me and the others in PAC that contributed on Saturday. Anything I think of writing just seems inadequate. The good feelings of the day came from working with the clients that came through the door. From the first lady I met who showed up at 9:30 to be the first in line so she wouldn't have to wait, to the single mother of four, to the last man who came and took his picture with his dog, and all the other individuals and families in between, these people are what made the day a special experience.
I think one could safely assume that everyone who came in to get photographed had had their share of hard luck and trouble. But I hope and believe that once they walked into our little "studio", that as they became our "customers" and we made them the center of our attention, that some of the hardships of life were suspended for a few moments and things got a little better this day.
Kimberly Haugen, a member of PAC, summed up the day best when she talked about how much everyone was smiling and what a happy day it was. There certainly were many a smile that day. My job allowed me to roam around quite a bit so I spent much of my time at the printing station just watching the reactions of people as they first saw their photographs come out of the printer. There were smiles all around. It was a beautiful thing.

In 2015 the number of international tourists grew from 1.13 billion to 1.18 billion – an increase of 50 million. In the past fifteen years the number of people opting for a vacation outside their country of residence has doubled. It is estimated that the number of international tourists will hit 1.8 billion by 2030 – a near quadrupling of the numbers seen in 2000.
2015 saw international tourist numbers again increase. Recent data from the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), the UN arm charged with the promotion of responsible, sustainable and universal accessibility of tourism worldwide, shows that the growth in the number of international tourists last year surpassed 51 million. In 2014, tourism worldwide picked up an additional 44 million tourists. As in 2014, the lowest growth figures were in Africa and the Middle East – 2015 even saw the number of tourists visiting Africa decrease by 2 million. Tourists attracted to Europe increased significantly in 2015 – the number of travellers increased by as many as 29 million, 16 million more than the growth in the previous year.
North & South America and Asia and the Pacific booked the largest absolute growth in tourist numbers in 2014 – both regions welcomed 14 million more tourists than in 2013. In 2015 however, the growth in tourists numbers in these regions were markedly lower – the American continent saw only 9 million more tourists than the year previous, while Asian destinations remained relatively popular, attracting 13 million more than the year previous.
Growth in 2015 was comparable to growth over the previous years, when the number of tourists worldwide grew between 4.2% and 4.7%. Over the period 2011-2015 the year 2012 saw the strongest growth, at 4.7%. Prior to 2011, tourism growth was considerably less stable. In 2003 for instance, world tourisms numbers faced a -0.6% decrease, while a year later – in 2004 – international tourist number grew by 10.4% - the largest growth percentage in the past 20 years. In 2009, following the financial crisis, global tourism numbers fell by 4%, the biggest drop in the past two decades, but by 2010 a turnaround had taken place with global tourist growth of 6.6% booked.
International tourism, with its 1.18 billion participants, is a major economic driver for countries globally. According to the UNWTO, tourism accounts for 10% of global GDP, and as many as 1 in 11 jobs stems from the sector worldwide. 6% of the global exports of goods is (indirectly) related to tourism, while worldwide a whopping 30% of service exports are generated by tourism. Annually the line of business generates $1.5 trillion. "International tourism reached new heights in 2015. The robust performance of the sector is contributing to economic growth and job creation in many parts of the world. It is thus critical for countries to promote policies that foster the continued growth of tourism, including travel facilitation, human resources development and sustainability," says Taleb Rifai, the Secretary-General of the UNWTO.
To advertise the attractiveness of their respective country to tourists, considerable amounts of money are invested into marketing and PR campaigns. The globes biggest spenders on advertising their soil are China, the United States and Germany – with respective investments of $165 billion, $112 billion and $92 billion.
The UNWTO therefore urges governments to take tourist administration into account when planning for their national security.

Ultra-Stable Zeolite dryers_Ultra stable Y type zeolite drying equipment - Changzhou YI DU Drying Equipment Co., Ltd.
Molecular sieve drying process has been one of the hottest topics in the drying industry in recent years,among as Ultra stable Y type zeolite drying equipment is famous.At present Ultra-Stable Zeolite dryers分子筛 is mainly as flash drying machine,we can sulute for customers Fault of ultra stable Y type zeolite flash drying equipment can be add some reform in the drying process,from The principle of ultra stable Y type zeolite drying equipment,further optimization of equipment.the machine we designed Drawing of ultra stable Y type zeolite drying equipment分子筛干燥机图纸 as different with other industry,Its drying efficiency and energy consumption of equipment are better than similar products. In the country of ultrastable molecular sieve production process of continuous improvement of the environment, many production facilities have also been replaced, such as plate and frame filter, vibration sieve. Using spray drying equipment of ultrastable molecular sieve drying, compared to traditional molecular sieve drying equipment, the higher heat transfer coefficient, drying efficiency is high, final moisture stable(See Modified molecular sieve drying machine and learn more).
In the process of using spray drying equipment, we found that the adjustment of individual drying parameters can effectively improve the quality of the product.
1 Atomizer nozzle aperture size will affect the particle size of zeolite products. If the nozzle is too small and easy to plug the situation.
2 At the entrance of the rotary chamber, the larger the cutting area, the smaller the tangent velocity of the feed liquid, resulting in the increase of the droplet size.
3 Spray pressure need to be controlled in 6-8MPa.
4 Feed rate is too low will cause the material liquid in the nozzle in the speed too slow, resulting in atomization is not complete, need to adjust the feed rate.
5 Ultrastable molecular sieve slurry temperature will also affect the quality of the final product. After the liquid temperature of 60℃ and then improve the temperature will not size effect. Material liquid temperature and product particle size is inversely proportional.

Love Connect Four? Get prepared to take your favorite childhood game to the next level with4 IN A 3D ROWfor iPhone, developed by NEONFIVE STUDIO. In short, it's a 3D, fast and furious cube-style take on Connect Four.
This ain't the same game you grew up playing: you'll need to train your 3-dimensional sense in a completely new way. It's almost like mastering a Rubik's cube, and you need to keep your eyes on all parts of the cube to succeed.
The controls for 4 IN A 3D ROW are very sensitive and immersive, and it is very easy to spin the cube around and plot your next move. Simply swipe your finger to view the cube, then tap to place your glowing gem marker.
But unlike Connect Four, 4 IN A 3D ROW gets more interesting the more often you play it. While Connect Four is a pretty static, predictable game, 4 IN A 3D ROW allows you to unlock several different levels of difficulty, as well as achievements and turntime modes. Play against people worldwide and stay on top of the crowd using Game Center.
The graphics are really excellent, and give the game a feel that's part cyberpunk, part Star Trek, and part 1990's depiction of hacking. It manages to feel fresh and nostalgic all at once, and that's a pretty impressive thing to pull off.
If you love puzzles, thoughtful strategy titles, Connect Four, Rubik's cubes, or general time-wasters, 4 IN A 3D ROW offers gameplay that's amusing, challenging, and just plain fun. If you want to get lost in a wonderfully immersive title, 4 IN A 3D ROW is definitely an iPhone game worth checking out.
It may have kind of a clunky name, but 4 IN A 3D ROW offers up gameplay that's anything but.
4 IN A 3D ROWis compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 3.1.3 or later. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this iPhone game review.


Rana Kapoor (Yes Bank), Sambit Patra (BJP), Manish Sisodia (AAP), Sachin Pilot (INC), Anupama Chopra (film critic and author) and Kabir Khan (director) amongst key speakers.
The London School of Economics and Political Science's Student Union hosted its prestigious annual conference 'India Forum 2016' on Saturday 19th March at the world famous London School of Economics in London. This year's theme was: 'India's Growing Global Footprint', which shed light on the pertinent topics affecting India in relation to its place on the global stage, particularly with reference to its recent listing as 'the world's fastest growing economy'.
The conference saw a panel of India's eminent business figures, political leaders and personalities from the Indian film industry, who discussed and debated keynote topics. This was then followed by a Q&A session with the audience present to stimulate dialogue.
mentioned PM Modi's Swacch Bharat, Startup India and Digital India initiatives. He also spoke about the Indian Budget 2016 emphasising that the current government's commitment towards farmers and increasing the rural spend.
The Entertainment Panel saw Mrs Anupama Chopra and 'Bajrangi Bhaijan' director Kabir Khan talking about the Soft Power of Bollywood. Kabir Khan spoke about his experiences in making films politically nuanced, such as Kabul Express, New York, Phantom and most recently Bajrangi Bhaijan. He also shared details about his involvement as a documentary filmmaker and his love for making films on topics that need to be given a voice. Anupama raised an interesting point, asking Kabir's views on how to "mainstreamise" politically-conscious films to a national India audience, to which he replied that Bollywood's formula of incorporating songs should be used to tell the story, which is a sure way of appealing to the masses.
While speaking about gender inequality both agreed that this exists in Bollywood and that more had to be done to counter this.
Dr Virendra Paul, Deputy High Commissioner, formally brought the event to a close.


"Transport policy and environmental impacts: The importance of multi-in" by João Vieira, Filipe Moura et al.
Despite the introduction of many instruments in the transport system, they failed to reach their target since gains in global environmental efficiency have not been enough to cope with the consequences of transport growth. The ultimate environmental challenge for transport policy makers is to improve the effectiveness of implementation of policy instruments. This paper explores the concept of multi-instrumentality as a systematic approach for transport policy integration and implementation. Based on extensive literature review, we assess a set of 14 transport policy instruments (weaknesses, strengths and barriers to implementation) and perform a pair-wise analysis of potential synergies in their integrated implementation. Conclusions are drawn on the potential success of multi-instrumentality.

}

override func mouseUp(theEvent: NSEvent) {
    swiped = true

    let droppings = theEvent.locationInWindow
    let currentPoint:NSPoint = self.convertPoint(droppings, fromView: nil)
    self.drawLineFrom(lastPoint, p2: currentPoint)

    Swift.print("Up \(currentPoint)")
    lastPoint = currentPoint
}

  Up (394.96484375, 220.5078125)

A: You cannot draw the content of a view outside the draw rect method. The error is due to the code below :
func drawLineFrom(p1:NSPoint, p2:NSPoint) {
    NSColor.redColor().set() // choose color
    // ....
}

You call drawLineFrom(:) from the mouse up event. You attempt to change the color of the current graphics context when no context exists. To redraw a view, you must ask a redraw by doing self.needsDisplay = true and then make the changes inside the draw rect method.
Here is a sample code :
class DrawingView: NSView {

    var point: CGPoint = CGPoint.zero

    override func mouseUp(theEvent: NSEvent) {
        // Convert the point from the window coordinate to the view coordinate
        self.point = self.convertPoint(theEvent.locationInWindow, fromView: nil)
        // We ask to redraw the view
        self.needsDisplay = true
        Swift.print("Up \(self.point)")
    }
}

override func drawRect(dirtyRect: NSRect) {
    super.drawRect(dirtyRect)

    // You have to draw inside this function and not outside
    // The context is only valid here and you cannot retain it to draw later
    let context = NSGraphicsContext.currentContext()?.CGContext
    // Draw here
}

What you need to know about "Self-harm"
Self-harming may mean that you cut, scratch, burn or cause yourself other types of physical pain. The reasons why people self-harm can be very personal. Some people might use self-harm as a way to deal with emotions that are too difficult to cope with, or as a way to release anger or tension. It can be a way to deal with a physical pain rather than an emotional pain. For some, self-harming can become very addictive and they may risk hurting themselves badly.
Self-harm can give a momentary feeling of relief to whatever problems have driven you to do it, but this probably doesn't last very long. Self-harm can cause long-lasting problems, from possible permanent scarring that will last into your adult-life, to risk of infections or even damage to major blood vessels which could result in a dangerous loss of blood and can even be fatal. If you feel like you can't stop harming, seek advice on how to do it as safely as possible to minimise risks.
When you feel ready to, it could help to consider what it is that's causing these feelings of wanting to hurt yourself. Try talking to a trusted family member or friend about your feelings and experiences for personal support, or if you are unable to do this and receive the right support, contact a professional like a doctor for help in your recovery.
Do you have a true story to share about Self-harm?

Square Enix responds to Spider-Man's Avengers exclusivity backlash
Mustafa Mahmoud August 6, 2020 Console, Featured Tech News, Software & Gaming
Recently we reported that the upcoming Marvel's Avengers title from Square Enix would be adding one of the most popular superheroes in the world – Spider-Man – to the increasing roster of playable characters. Unfortunately for PC and Xbox players, the character will be exclusive to PlayStation systems. Following backlash from fans, the Avengers development team has addressed the issue directly, explaining the reasons as to why.
In an interview with Crystal Dynamics Co-Head Scot Amos, the representative explained that "the beauty of Spider-Man, and what Spider-Man represents as a character, and as a world is… Again, it comes back to the relationship with PlayStation and Marvel. We happened to be… once you can execute and deliver, when it comes down to choices of where and what Spider-Man can be, that's a relationship question that PlayStation absolutely has the rights to, that as you guys know, with Sony's ownership there, and Marvel with Sony saying, 'Hey, this is something we can do. This is something we can do on this platform."
Amos elaborated further, saying "But I really do think people will look at this and say, 'Yeah, okay, we get that, we can understand the business behind that', but in general, we're making this game for everybody. We want this to be the place you get to play those superhero fantasies out with your Avengers team, that continue growing with new characters, characters you ain't even guessed at yet, that are going to come to this roster down the road, and new regions as well. So I am very excited for what the future holds for everybody on all platforms."
Though much of what was said was already known, it would indeed appear as though the reason for Spider-Man's exclusivity is down to the ongoing relationship that Sony has with Marvel and Spider-Man. Sony has the exclusive movie rights for Spider-Man, with that relationship developing even deeper following the success of the PS4-exclusive 'Marvel's Spider-Man' which released in 2018 – further suggesting that the character won't be a timed-exclusive.
Though this news may be disappointing, one silver lining is the fact that the developers confirmed (via IGN) that Spider-Man will be the only exclusive character coming to the game.

Here's How Super Nintendo World's AR Binoculars Will Work, According to a Patent
Posted on Thursday, March 19th, 2020 by Ben Pearson
It's unclear what the new timeline might be for the opening of Universal Studios' highly-anticipated Super Nintendo World land, since the coronavirus will almost certainly prevent its scheduled unveiling at Universal Studios Japan later this summer. But while we wait to find out more, let's look ahead to what the park has in store for its visitors.
Specifically, a recent patent has revealed how Super Nintendo World's AR binoculars will work, with a real-world interactive component which sounds like a blast.
Orlando Park Stop tracked down a patent that Universal filed last month called "Mixed reality viewer system and method," which includes images and explanations of how the multiple binocular stations will work throughout the park. If you've ever played Super Mario 3D Land, you're probably familiar with the binocular/telescopes that litter the game, which Mario can look through to get a lay of the land.
The versions that will be in the park will have an augmented reality component, where you'll be able to presumably see digital Nintendo characters superimposed over real-world imagery when you look through. The image above shows an example of a guest looking at a physical barn, but seeing an AR version of a horse in front of it. But there's also a virtual reality component as well: in this example, when a user zooms as far as possible into the barn door, the binoculars transition from AR to VR, revealing a fake digital scene playing out behind the door. I don't know exactly how this tech is going to be utilized in the park, but I can picture a scenario in which you look through the binoculars and see a pipe, for instance, and zoom through it to see hidden characters moving around inside.
The wiki for Super Mario 3D Land points out that players can use the binoculars to find hidden Toads, "and if the Toads are sighted, they will throw out items such as Star Medals, 1-Up Mushrooms, or even Super Stars." There's supposed to be an interactive element to this park as well (complete with Power Up Bands), so it's easy to imagine looking through the physical version of the binoculars at Universal and spotting special places to go to get bonus points in the game.
Orlando Park Stop also points out that the AR technology will work from multiple vantage points at the same time, leading to what might be the coolest aspect of this whole thing: a physical element where you might be able to impact someone else on the other side of the park:
An example is given where users must virtually fill a water tank by using a button while their view is zoomed in on the tank in real life. After the tank is filled, the guests would be rewarded by seeing a virtual response, such as a computer-generated animal drinking from the tank, or, even a real-world consequence, such as guests in the area being splashed with real water.
We'll have to see how extensive that water effect will be, because I imagine people would be pretty pissed off if they get completely soaked. But it's a cool concept, and I'm curious to see what else Super Nintendo World has up its sleeve…assuming it's able to launch any time soon.
