First comes Thanksgiving, a day of delicious meals, time with family or good friends (or both!) and plenty of television, whether it’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or some choice football games.
Then comes Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season. If the excitement of wading into crowds in search of the perfect deal sounds like your jam, big-box stores will be offering plenty of doorbusters in Lodi.
If that sounds awful, don’t worry — you have options. Small Business Saturday encourages shoppers to think local. Cyber Monday lets you find great Christmas gift deals from the comfort of your couch, complete with pajamas (at least, if you’re lucky enough to have the day off).
And if you feel all that spending isn’t what the holiday season is about, Giving Tuesday is a great way to support local nonprofits.
Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday was created by American Express in 2010, as a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The credit card corporation partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Boston leaders and retail groups to encourage shoppers to consider keeping some of their dollars in their local communities.
American Express advertised the event on Facebook and national radio and television networks, and it quickly caught hold. Soon, the event had been adopted by business groups and chambers of commerce around the United States — and Lodi is no exception.
Every year, Downtown Lodi merchants get together to host a special day of Christmas shopping on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Along with sales and specials — and often hot drinks or small bites — they sponsor a few events to put everyone in the holiday spirit.
The Downtown Business Alliance is sponsoring the annual Christmas tree that stands proud at Post Office Plaza. The tree will be delivered on Friday, Nov. 29; decorating and a tree lighting will take place over the weekend.
On Saturday, Nov. 30, Boy Scouts from Troop 399 will be hanging wreaths throughout Downtown.
The Downtown merchants will also sponsor carriage rides on Nov. 30, as well as on Saturdays throughout December, and several, including the Dermal Clinic, Pret, Fashion Safari, New & Again Consignment Furniture Gallery, the Purple House and more, will have special discounts throughout the day.
But it’s not just Downtown shops that will be celebrating Small Business Saturday. Several other local businesses are joining the fun as well:
- Just Baby: A boutique offering unique, often handmade clothing for babies and toddlers. 207 W. Oak St., Lodi; 209-200-9909; www.justbaby.us
- Sheila’s Country Rose Florist: Find plenty of seasonal arrangements and gifts. 835 C St., Galt; 209-745-6867; www.sheilascountryroseflorist.com
- Lodi Office Furniture & Mattress: This retailer sells home office furniture and mattresses. 623 E. Oak St., Lodi; 209-400-7544
- Mike’s Automotive: Find winter car care and brake specials, along with other deals. 420 W. Lodi Ave., Lodi; 209-334-4610; www.mikesautomotivelodi.com
Small Business Saturday has spread beyond Thanksgiving, too. In many places, it’s held once a month or even every Saturday, to spotlight local merchants. Companies and their fans use the hashtag #SmallBusinessSaturday on social media to spread the word and promote local businesses.
In 2013, it spread to the United Kingdom.
Cyber Monday 2019 will be Dec. 2, the first Monday after Black Friday.
Last year, Americans spent $7.9 billion on Cyber Monday, according to Adobe Analytics. Revenues topped any other shopping day of the year, Business Insider reported.
Cyber Monday was coined by Ellen Davis and Scott Silverman of the National Retail Federation and Shop.org in 2005, in a move to promote online shopping. It was intended to help smaller and online-only retailers who felt they were being shut out of Black Friday sales, according to Business Insider.
But many large-scale retailers saw it as an opportunity to offer a continuation of their Black Friday deals into the weekend, and to drop sales prices even further. Now, the holiday is celebrated by businesses all over the U.S., from Amazon to local retailers.
Cyber Monday is a good time to look for discounts from favorite stores. Many advertise their planned specials on social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
To find local businesses that are participating, check their websites or social media pages.
Sites like eBay, Etsy, and Shopify give online boutiques and small businesses the chance to take part in the cyber shopping day, if they choose, and customers get another chance to find local businesses that offer unique gifts for the holiday season. Plenty of local artisans and retailers have Etsy and eBay stores.
Cyber Monday also allows smaller retail chains and small companies to offer their customers more meaningful discounts, because they can anticipate a higher volume of traffic on their site.
Most people shop Cyber Monday for the price drops in technology, according to data collected by the National Retail Federation.
Giving Tuesday — another hashtag holiday, stylized #GivingTuesday — was founded in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y in New York and the United Nations Foundation to offer an alternative to the materialism and consumerism that springs up after Thanksgiving. People were encouraged to donate to their favorite causes.
Founded by Mashable, Skype, Cisco and several other organizations, the holiday caught on quickly. In 2012, at least $10.1 million was raised through companies using the Blackbaud software; it’s unclear if more was raised on other platforms.
Last year, a total of more than $400 million was raised across various platforms for charitable causes.
“We tried it for the first time last year,” Lodi House Executive Director Shelby Young said.
The nonprofit — which helps local women in crisis find shelter, stability and job training — joined at the last minute. Volunteers at the thrift store asked shoppers if they wanted to add a donation to their purchases, Young said.
This year, they decided to try a more organized campaign, with the goal of raising $5,000. With the San Joaquin County Community Foundation providing them with access to social media tools created by Network for Good, the nonprofit can now accept donations via text — send the message “GIVE” to 916-299-9678 — or online at www.lodihouse.org.
“It allows us to build funding pages and communicate better with our donors,” Young said.
Lodi House staff have also created a campaign to show where donors’ gifts are going. For example, $50 funds a family dinner at Lodi House, while $100 provides healthy snacks for two children for a month. A gift of $1,000 “adopts” a mother and her children for two weeks.
“I know that people like to give to something specifically, and I think sometimes having something specific to give to helps people understand how much an organization needs,” Young said.
People don’t always know how much it costs Lodi House to provide food, pay for electricity or internet services, or provide other support for its clients.
Lodi House isn’t expecting someone to pay the entire $1,000 to sponsor a family, Young said. Instead, she hopes donors will see how their small gifts add up to tangible goals.
“Everybody giving a little bit makes a big difference,” she said.
Lodi House is hoping that Giving Tuesday will be successful, but they’re not limiting this campaign to a single day, Young added. It kicked off on Nov. 19, and will run until Dec. 3.
“We’re excited to see how it all comes together,” she said.
Lodi House is one of several local organizations asking for donations on Giving Tuesday. Anyone with a few dollars to spare can spread them to the following nonprofits — or contact them to find out how to donate time instead:

A fresh report out of Germany suggests the next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 will ditch its V8 in favour of an electrified four-cylinder generating 389 kW.
According to the folks over at JESMB, the third-generation C63 will employ an electrified version of Affalterbach’s latest turbocharged 2,0-litre four-pot, the very same M139 unit that debuted in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45.
This, of course, lines up neatly with an earlier report from October 2019, which furthermore said the C63 would feature all-wheel drive as standard. What this latest story adds, however, is the electric motor will be sited on the rear axle rather than squeezed between the petrol engine and nine-speed automatic transmission.
The publication also claims the standard C63 will offer about 355 kW, while the flagship C63 S will generate 389 kW (eclipsing the current model’s 375 kW). We expect sedan, coupé and cabriolet body styles to again be available.
In addition, JESMB says a new C43 is on the cards, employing the same four-pot (sans electrification) tuned to deliver 289 kW in place of the current model’s turbocharged 3,0-litre V6 engine. There’s every chance, however, this variant will be actually end up featuring the C53 badge, targeting the likes of the Audi S4 and BMW M340i xDrive.

Hong Kong has fallen into recession, after being hit by more than five months of anti-government protests that show no signs of relenting, and is unlikely to achieve annual economic growth this year, the city’s financial secretary said.
“The blow to our economy is comprehensive,” Paul Chan said in a blog post on Sunday, adding that a preliminary estimate for third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) on Thursday would show two successive quarters of contraction – the technical definition of a recession.
Chan also said that it would be “extremely difficult” to achieve the government’s pre-protest forecast of zero to one percent annual economic growth.
Businesses, especially in the tourism and retail sectors, have seen activity plunge since the protests began in June.
Protesters have routinely torched storefronts and businesses including banks, particularly those owned by mainland Chinese companies, and vandalised the city’s metro system as they view the company that runs it, MTR Corp, as acting at the government’s behest to curtail protests.
MTR has shut services early for the past few weeks and said it will close about two hours earlier than normal on Monday by 11 pm to repair damaged facilities.
Chan called the decline in tourists numbers an “emergency”, with the drop in visitor numbers worsening in October, down nearly 50 percent compared to the same month last year.
Retail operators, from prime shopping malls to mum-and-dad businesses, have been forced to shutter for multiple days over the past few months.
While authorities have announced measures to support small and medium-sized enterprises, Chan said the measures could only “slightly reduce the pressure”.
“Let citizens return to normal life, let industry and commerce to operate normally, and create more space for rational dialogue,” he wrote.
Protests in the former British colony have reached their 21st week. On Sunday, black-clad and masked demonstrators set fire to shops and hurled petrol bombs at police who responded with tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets.
They are angry at what they view as increasing interference by Beijing in Hong Kong’s affairs, which returned to Chinese rule in 1997 under a “one country, two systems” formula intended to guarantee freedoms not seen on the mainland.
China denies meddling. It has accused foreign governments, including the United States and Britain, of stirring up trouble.

MEMPHIS — The bookstore owned by Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Memphis may still have a future, despite it being bought at auction Wednesday by a liquidation firm that intends to sell its inventory and close the store.
The company affiliated with the management of The Mall at Lexington Green, which bought three of Joseph-Beth's five bookstores, said it would be willing to make an offer to the liquidating firm for the store if the leaders of the Laurelwood Shopping Center, where it's located, would offer the store more attractive leasing options.
"That store cannot continue unless the landlord desires for it to, and fully participates with the successful bidder," said Lexington attorney Gary Barr, who represents Booksellers Enterprises, the winning bidder on the three stores.
Booksellers Enterprises was registered with the secretary of state's office by Barr, who is general counsel/partner of Langley Properties Co., which manages Lexington Green.
Barr said until Tom Prew itt, the president and owner of Laurelwood Shopping Center, "makes that decision, there's really not much to be done."
Calls to Prewitt on Friday were not returned.
Prewitt had been part of the financing team behind the auction bid of Neil Van Uum, Joseph-Beth's founder and the only other bidder intending to keep the stores open. Robert Langley, owner of Langley Properties Co., had also been part of Van Uum's financing team, the founder said, until a week ago, when Langley called and told him he would be pulling his support and competing against him.
Langley and his partners, whom he has not disclosed, bought the Joseph-Beth stores in Lexington and Cincinnati, as well as a health-themed Joseph-Beth in Cleveland. The Davis-Kidd store in Memphis and Joseph-Beth store in Fredericksburg, Va., were purchased by liquidation firm Gordon Brothers.
Any scenario of keeping Davis-Kidd open as a going concern "doesn't work as it should without Mr. Prewitt's participation," Barr said.
Asked how strongly Booksellers Enterprises wanted to buy and operate Davis-Kidd, Barr said, "There is certainly an appetite for that on the right terms."
Davis-Kidd was the third-highest revenue producer in the Joseph-Beth chain, behind the stores in Lexington and Cincinnati, said Mark Wilson, Joseph-Beth's chief operating officer.
"They have a very loyal customer base," he added.
The next step in the bankruptcy proceeding will be a hearing at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Lexington during which the auction results are expected to be approved.

Beansie's ahead of food truck wave by half a century
When Teague Mayville came back to Burlington after working on a farm in New Hampshire, he returned to a favorite childhood eating spot: Beansie’s Bus.
“We would always go to Beansie’s on a hot summer day,” Mayville said. “For creemees and cold drinks.”
Mayville, 19, opts for Beansie’s these days for the fond memories – and because he can eat lunch at Beansie’s in the company of his faithful companion, Fish, a 120-pound Great Dane puppy.
Mayville and Fish sprawl out under the shade of a tree in Battery Park. Fresh from his work on an organic vegetable farm, Mayville is eating things like the Georgia, which is a bacon cheeseburger on a glazed donut.
“Sugary and fatty,” Mayville says, delivering a spot-on summary of the meal's appeal.
Sugary and fatty are certainly old standards in the food truck world. But that world is evolving, as Beansie’s owner Jay LaShombe can attest.
LaShombe, 30, has worked at Beansie’s about half his life, starting as a 14-year-old Williston kid who attended Champalin Valley Union High School. He started out cleaning the rig, then peeling potatoes, and on to flipping burgers.
Five years ago, having worked at Beansie’s through high school and college at the University of Vermont, LaShombe bought the business – a 72-year-old Burlington landmark.
“I think I talked to them about buying it when I was probably 20,” LaShombe recalled, referring to the previous owners. “I kinda like this. I feel at home here.”
When you own a 70-year-old business, it’s not prudent to remove things from the menu, LaShombe said. Beansie's has customers in their 80s who come to the bus expecting to eat the things they had as a kid, he said.
“We’re a classic burger and fries joint,” LaShombe said.
Beansie’s runs through a ton of potatoes a week and 150 pounds of hot dogs, he said.
The converted yellow school bus is parked at the southern terminus of North Avenue by the Burlington police station, its longtime home. Beansie’s has had five owners and four buses over the years, LaShombe said. The business turns down requests to park at other locations for special events, he said.
“This is our spot,” LaShombe said. “It’s where we like to be.”
Providing a welcoming and comfortable experience for people is a key part of the business,LaShombe said, creating “strong relationships with lots and lots of customers."
“People can choose to go anywhere,” he said. “The fact that they come here is something we respect and appreciate.”
Since his days peeling potatoes for former owner Bill Peters, LaShombe has become something of a food truck expert. He wrote a case study about food trucks as part of his MBA program at Southern New Hampshire University.
LaShombe performed an analysis of food trucks, looking at the phenomenon from four vantage points: Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. In the past decade, the food truck market has roughly doubled, he said.
- A change in consumer desires and expectations, fueled by the prevalence of “foodies.”
- Less expensive start-up costs for chefs, who can test the market with a truck before opening a standard restaurant.
- Chef-run trucks raise the quality and variety of food.
- Social media allows for fast connection with customers, enabling food trucks to disseminate information about menu and location even as these things change.
Threats and challenges to the industry include saturation of a particular market, and regulatory issues, according to LaShombe.
In general, however, a mix of Beansie’s-type fare and more “cutting edge” food speaks to a healthy food truck environment, he said.

Tencent has invested in $125 million in online anime platform Kuaikan, as part of the internet behemoth’s long-term push to monetize platforms popular with younger users.
In announcing the investment on Tuesday, Kuaikan didn’t detail how the money will be spent, but highlighted its ambition to become the “Disney of the new era.”
CEO Chen Anni, who founded Kuaikan four years ago, said the platform will continue to operate independently. The platform, whose users were mostly born after the year 2000, aims to focus on building an online community and promoting China-made anime.
Kuaikan now has over 200 million users and more than 40 million monthly active users. Its core demographic grew up alongside the Chinese internet, and has increasingly become the main market for many online content businesses.
Li Zhaohui, a partner at a Tencent investment unit, said the company is optimistic about the anime industry’s long-term potential. Li said Kuaikan had an “active community” as well as “high-quality and diverse” anime works that can “thrive in the long-run.”

Despite the misgivings of some observers, strategic- or smart-beta exchange traded funds that weight holdings based on specific characteristics or factors have quickly attracted the attention of the investment world.
In a recent FTSE Russell survey of U.S. retail financial advisors, 68% of respondents polled say they have utilized a smart-beta product.
However, education about smart beta remains an important point. For instance, FTSE Russell found that defining smart beta and what is classified as smart beta is a point of confusion even among financial advisors.
About 35% of polled advisors reported having used a smart beta product. However, after being prompted by specific smart beta product names, over two-thirds of advisors identified themselves as smart-beta users. Only 18% of respondents say they are “very familiar” with smart-beta.
“Lack of knowledge is one of the top reasons advisors cite for not using smart beta products,” according to FTSE Russell.
The lack of familiarity suggests that some advisors may be open to smart-beta strategies if the products were better defined. Smart beta strategies are investments that use alternative index construction rules, similar to actively managed styles, as opposed to traditional beta or market capitalization based index methodologies.
Many advisors also view smart beta products similarly to the way they view active products, especially as a means to hedge a portfolio in down markets, control volatility and increase alpha.
“Significant numbers of advisors are using the term ‘active’ to describe
smart beta,” FTSE Russell said.

In 1969, there was sufficient technology in this country to send men to the moon. The computing power of those days was so limited, though, that nobody—and I mean nobody—would want a cell phone, computer or any other devices based solely on that era’s technology.
There’s no question about it: St. Louisans love silver, especially old-school vintage pieces with the look of coin silver. It’s now possible to have it literally hanging around 24/7, thanks to these new light fixtures that incorporate silver flatware as a decorative element. Troy Lighting’s Bistro kitchen fixture blends classic hand-worked iron and elegant crystal with spoons, forks and knives in one conversation-starting piece. Another charmer: the Spoondelier from Cake Vintage featuring old teaspoons. Each one is made to order.
The terms ‘bathroom’ and ‘present’ tend to cross paths only in the realm of soaps and spa products. Now, Mosby Building Arts is offering the gift of a five-day bathroom remodel for homeowners too busy for a lengthy construction.
Put the bowl down and slowly step away from the candy!

If you’re anything like us, you’ll have sorely missed shopping IRL over the past year. The soft clip of a sole against polished marble, the swoosh of a credit card against a PDQ machine, the casual use of the term “sir”. Ah.
The good news is that with shops reopened for business, you’ve got an excellent reason to head back to town in the shape of the new Dior pop-up at The Selfridges Corner Shop in London.
Open for four weeks from 4 May, the boutique will play host to the Fall '21 collection, which was created by artistic director Kim Jones in collaboration with American artist Kenny Scharf.
Scharf's candy-coloured, gloopy cartoonised designs adorn sweaters, cross-body saddle bags and short-sleeved sweaters, embroidered with Chinese signs of the zodiac, which all formed a key part of the show that took place – suitably enough – in the opulent surrounds of Miami, pre-pandemic.
Full to bursting with the bright, bold pieces that first saw light in Florida's glitziest metropolis – which you can see modelled by our former GQ Hype cover star Slowthai here – it’s real back-to-life-wear if ever we’ve seen it.
Some of the key pieces on offer at the Selfridges pop-up include a bang-on-trend monochromatic wallet-on-a-strap (small accessories on straps are big news right now) finished in Dior's iconic oblique print, a pair of mid-top calfskin sneakers coated in Scharf's cartoonish motifs and a series of soft bags complete with a tapestry take on the artist's work.
Just keep your hands off that rainbow saddle bag. That’s ours.

Massively popular messaging service WhatsApp sure took its time updating to the new iOS 7 design. A recent update, however, adapts to the minimalist look of iOS 7 and adds a few new extra features. The new version of WhatsApp is available in the App Store and is optimized for the iPhone 5, 5s and 5c's 4-inch display.
The app's new layout ditches visual navigation buttons and skeuomorphic design for the flat, transparent and simplified look championed by iOS 7. Beyond its new design, WhatsApp now lets you broadcast a message to multiple people or groups. It also includes an improved location sharing feature, larger thumbnail photos, new notification alerts and sounds, and the ability to crop images before sending them.
With 350 million monthly users—at last count—WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging platforms out there. The company makes its money by charging users a one time fee to send unlimited messages, but faces growing competition from apps like Snapchat in the U.S. as well as Chinese mobile companies like Tencent.
WhatsApp helped spark a revolution in messaging apps, turning the traditional SMS model on its head. Whether it can continue to stand out from the rest of the pack in the future is unclear, though for now the service shows no signs of losing momentum.

Bottles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape will soon be sitting next to 69p packs of tomatoes in Lidl baskets as the discount grocer steps up its wooing of middle-class shoppers by launching a range of upmarket French wines.
A brand new selection of 48 vintage and non-vintage wines will will go on sale in its 600 UK supermarket branches in September, followed by bottles from theworld-renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape wineries.
Prices will range from £4.99 for a crisp white Cote de Gascogne to £21.99 for a red 2006 Chateau La Tour which typically sells in other supermarkets and wine shops for at least £30.
In recent years Lidl has been flattered by its rivals' desperate attempts to match its low-cost retail strategy. Now, Lidl is encroaching on unfamiliar territory. Lidl's £12m push into the premier wine market - its biggest UK product launch - will pit it against the likes of Waitrose, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons. Ben Hulme, senior buying manager for wines at Lidl, said: "Our choice offers extraordinary value for money for some of the best wines in the world. Our pricing is transparent and open, unlike a lot of the permanent 'offers' on the High Street."
Lidl attracts up to 5m shoppers a week in its UK stores and along with fellow German discounter Aldi it has been stealing market share from the big four grocers. Some wine experts think the absence of an online wine offer could hold Lidl back as it takes on players such as Tesco and Waitrose who have well-establised online shopping services. But Ewan Lacey, general manager of The International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) said: "Lidl have been able to drive that combination of value and quality because they buy fewer wines, but in larger volumes."

The sports media world is ablaze with discussion around the new joint project from ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery that will house all three companies’ sports broadcast properties. But in a new interview, former ESPN president John Skipper revealed that this is not the first time a platform like this has come up at the Worldwide Leader.
Speaking on the Sporting Class podcast from his company Meadowlark Media, Skipper explained that around 2016 or 2017 (near the December 2017 end of his tenure), Apple approached ESPN about joining an aggregated sports broadcast platform that they would house. While Apple was genuine in its pursuit and Skipper had interest, Apple eventually moved on after realizing how expensive it would be.
“Apple at one point attempted to create this bundle, and they couldn’t do it because they couldn’t accept that they would have to pay the same prices that Comcast paid,” Skipper explained. “It’s a good idea to be the person to aggregate sports.”
Skipper explained that back then, ESPN was far more concerned about the revenue they generated from cable carrier per-subscriber fees. While the money that the likes of Comcast and DirecTV pay ESPN monthly still drives significant revenue, the worldwide leader is now looking ahead to a direct-to-consumer streaming offering next fall. So now, a streaming-based platform in collaboration with their competitors makes more sense.
From an Apple standpoint, they ultimately pivoted to broadcasting their own sports, including their trail-blazing global MLS deal in 2022. However, anyone who uses an Apple TV also knows the company is pesky with its constant notifications to tune into close games within streaming apps on the hardware device. So they didn’t fully pivot from their aims of controlling sports consumption.
Regardless, it’s fascinating to note how ESPN evolved its thinking to embrace this new platform.
Skipper also believes ESPN will receive the majority of the revenue per subscriber for the new platform since it is providing the most inventory.
As more details develop, it will likely become more clear why the time was right now for ESPN to partner on the new platform. But it’s clear they have considered this idea for a while, and a big difference now is they are comfortable running the platform themselves rather than going through a middleman like Apple.

When it comes the name of Apple then it comes in the best thing in the technology as well as the features also. Apple doesn’t seem to be holding anything back when it comes to updates this season. The company has already did its biggest release of the year with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, followed by iOS 8 and now the new iPad air 2 or we can say ipad 6, which is planning to come out later this month. Apple is planning to launch this iPad Air in the event which is going to be done in October 16. The complete features, price and releasing date are not unveiled by the Apple.
Apple is not going to stop in this year; it has started making its 2014 iPad models, and is about to launch two new tablets in the coming months. Apple will be hosting an event on Oct 16, 2014 where it is expected to showcase their new Macs and iPads. Apple has invited the press to an event on its Cupertino campus. The company did not tell more about the subject under discussion in this event, but it virtually known that iPads will make an appearance. According to BGR India, the photos that were leaked show the audio control unit, the front panel, the A8X chip and the TouchID sensor of the iPad Air 2.
So the new iPad by Apple which is rumored as iPad Air 2 is expected to have a 9.7-inch screen. On the other hand while the Apple trend tends to make phones bigger and tablets smaller, then there is another rumor that the Air 2 could have a 12.9-inch screen.
Moreover it will have TouchID sensor; it will mean that it will have a fingerprint scanner, which will be a first for an Apple tablet. The first update of the iPad line since the launch of the iPad 2 in 2011 to make this tablet very thin, the mute/screen-rotation lock button has been removed and only shows the volume rocker. It has been heard by the tech world news that iPad 6 can be released as in golden version too.
As per as the previous models and versions had shown its charm by the A7 processor in the iPad Air, Mini 2, IPhone 5S, the people is expecting the high configuration In the new Air Pad 2 which will allow for split-screen multitasking. A new camera with the high resolutions is said to be improved from previous device versions, as well.
As far as the price is concerned of new iPad 6, then it will be unveiled correctly by the time of its release, but if we can think about the prize then it will mostly depend on its size, If the screen is 9.7 inches, then the cost would only raise slightly over previous models for new features like Touch ID. If a 12.9-inch version is released, the price could take a major jump of what we’re used to for the tablets. The new iPad Air 2 may get 2GB of RAM, according to a TechNews report. Apart from these amazing gadgets by the Apple, the new operating system for Apple that is Mac OS X Yosemite, which is also going to come in the market soon.
Of course you are dying to get this new iPad Air 2, but till the time it will be released and offered in India you will just have to know about its all features, price and specification which I have provided best as per as I concerned, for further news about it read the articles of mine daily.

The FDA has raised concerns related to the drug's preclinical toxicity profile at levels necessary for it to be effective.
The Western Union Company(NYSE:WU) is experiencing a sharp selloff in Wednesday’s session and hit a new low of $12.48, now down 28.44% to $12.83. The stock slumps after the company trimmed its earnings guidance for the full year on increased competition.
The company now projects to earn $1.65 to $1.68 a share, well below its previous guidance of $1.73 to $1.77 a share. The company said it was planning to cut costs and save $30 million annually by 2014.
The company posted net income of $269.5 million, or 45 cents a share on revenue of $1.42 billion. Analysts were estimating the company to earn 45 cents a share on revenue of $1.47 billion.
J.C. Penney Company, Inc.(NYSE:JCP) lost 5.66% as the company posts a 30% clearance offer on its website and texts the same deal to customers in a move that reverts back to its old promotional ways of clearing inventory. Though the pricing strategy doesn't cover regularly priced merchandise, it still feels like a bit of a reversal off of Ron Johnson's one-price model. At the very least, the retailer may be trying to squeeze out a little more juice for FQ3 numbers after seeing same-store sales plummet in FQ1 and FQ2.
Verisign, Inc.(NASDAQ:VRSN) slid 5.10% as worries mount about the Commerce and Justice departments' reviews of Verisign's offer for a 6-year renewal of its deal to run the registry for .com domain names. The company noted in last week's Q3 report that the Commerce department might not complete its review before the Nov. 30 expiration of Verisign's current deal, in which case a 6-month extension kicks in. Verisign's offer gives it the right to raise prices by 7% four times over the course of the deal.
Genworth Financial Inc(NYSE:GNW) shares soared 9% following earnings last night reflecting improvement in the housing market: U.S. mortgage insurance operations posted a $38M loss, a $41M improvement from last year, and against total company earnings of $34M. On the earnings call, management says it expects to IPO its Australian mortgage unit before the end of fiscal 2013.

This is the Ofgem finding that is likely to cause the energy companies the most anxiety:
We also looked at the behaviour of the six largest energy companies.
We are not in a position to conclude on whether tacit coordination exists in this market.
However, we found a number of aspects of the behaviour of the six largest suppliers that would appear to be consistent with tacit coordination between them.
We have found that these aspects have become more entrenched recently.
This includes our observations that:
The large suppliers announce price changes around the same time and of a similar magnitude;
Profitability has increased for all of the large suppliers, and domestic supply margins have converged;
The large suppliers appear to raise prices more quickly and fully when costs increase than they reduce them when costs fall.
This morning, the chief executive of Centrica, Sam Laidlaw, told me he "refutes totally" the idea that the 'Big Six' are a big cartel. He says the market is "vibrant" and "very competitive".
Mr Laidlaw told ITV News only 9 per cent of British Gas's 9.2 million household customers have never switched supplier and "we gain and lose more than 20,000 customers every week."
Serious allegations, strong denials. Thank goodness, some would say, that the new Competition and Markets Authority is looking into this.

November was another big month for video game hardware. Nintendo Switch outsold the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in terms of dollar sales, according to industry-tracking firm The NPD Group.
But this wasn’t just a win for Nintendo. It turns out that all three major systems came away feeling good from the Thanksgiving holidays. For instance, PlayStation 4 was the top-selling console by units.
“For the first time in history, three console platforms achieved more than 1 million units sold in a November month, as the Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One each generated over 1.3 million unit sales,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “It is only the second time in history any three platforms achieved more than 1 million units sold in a November period. The first occurred in November 2010, when the Nintendo DS, Wii, and Xbox 360 achieved the feat.”
Switch drove growth
But while sales were strong for all platforms, only the Nintendo Switch saw year-over-year growth in dollar sales.
“Hardware spending in November 2018 grew 3 percent when compared to a year ago, to $3.9 billion,” said Piscatella. “Significant growth in Nintendo Switch spending offset declines in spending experienced across all other platforms.”
But the decline in hardware sales year-over-year in November was likely due to Call of Duty launching in October. People who would buy a new system to play the new Call of Duty did that last month. And you can see that reflected in the results from 2018 so far.
“For the 2018 year-to-date period, hardware spending has increased 14 percent, to $3.9 billion,” said Piscatella. “Spending gains for Xbox One, Switch, PlayStation 4, and Plug N Play devices such as the NES Classic Edition and SNES Classic Edition have driven growth.”

You just can’t move for social curation services right now. The biggest noise might be coming from Pinterest, which is growing like a weed — but whether it’s the new-look Delicious, Switzerland’s Paperli, shopping curation site Svpply, image service Mlkshk or another site, the fact is that almost everybody seems to want to help you save and sort and share the things you find on the web right now.
With this swirl of activity, then, it’s no surprise to hear that Parisian service Pearltrees — slogan “collect, organize, discover” — has just raised another $6 million of funding, led by local conglomerate Groupe Accueil.
The company, which has been running in public since 2009, welcomed the injection of funds as a way to help expand and scale up its system for bookmarking and organizing, which is based around a clustered visual interface.
And it needs that scale. Right now Pearltrees is small and has moderate momentum, building up 350,000 users in the past three years. Pinterest, by comparison, has achieved around registered 10 million in the same sort of time — and one study suggests it is now one of the web’s biggest drivers of traffic.
When I made the comparison between the two services, however, Pearltrees’ marketing chief François Rocaboy objected.
“The two services are really different,” he said, reasoning that Pearltrees bookmarks web pages, is used for organization and operates a Freemium model.
And it’s true, those are all things that Pinterest doesn’t get used for much of these things today. But the reality is that not every company in this space can succeed because they are all competing for the same sorts of attention patterns.
Just before Christmas I wrote about the Italian recommendation service Circleme, and wondered whether it could convince people to keep all of their interests and passions listed in one place. Social curation exists in a complex space for organization and discovery that overlaps with everything from to-do lists to tagging, from bookmarking to recommendations… and, of course, big sharing platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. To say it’s a competitive area is an understatement.
But there’s an extra difficulty, too, for this new breed of social curation services. Getting something out of them requires some significant effort from users, because they have to explicitly engage with the product to get the most out of it. For the most part, the quality of information you can get out of a service like Pearltrees is directly correlated to the amount of effort you put in — a spin on the idea of participation inequality better known as “1 percent rule”.
Creation is very difficult. Curation is hard. Consumption, on the other hand, is relatively easy. That’s why a site like Tumblr can go crazy, because it balances each element of that pyramid perfectly.
And it’s why I can’t help feeling that there is a bubble here, as everyone speculates on an idea in the hope of backing a big winner. The balance just feels out of kilter.
It’s understandable, of course, that this is an enticing market. The tools available now are extremely powerful, and they connect to vast amounts of data that pour out of the Web. Combine that with the fact that the social layer is now pretty mature, and there’s very good reason why the next level of ideas are all about how to make the information better.
But is there really enough appetite to satisfy the supply? Is the one percent enough? Is the ten percent? Are there enough neat freaks and hyper-organized users in the world to support all of these businesses?
Pinterest has reached the scale of millions partly because it understands the attention pyramid — but I’m not sure everyone fighting it out in this arena does.

Penn State University has brokered a deal with Napster to supply students with the online music store's premium service. Napster's premium service includes unlimited streaming music, though users will have to pony up $1 per song to buy songs transferable to CD or portable devices. Students won't be charged directly for the premium service, which will be paid for by their yearly technology fees.
By providing students with unlimited streaming access to a vast catalog of music, Penn State hopes to provide an alternative to peer-to-peer piracy. However, some students aren't impressed with the plan and think their technology fund should be spent on new networks and lab equipment rather than a digital music service.
The issue of whether students should have control over how their student fees are spent aside, I wonder if providing students with unlimited streaming music will curb rampant dormitory piracy. I suspect that Napster's premium streaming service will be enough to satiate many students' desire for music, but if the service proves popular among students, it could consume massive amounts of campus bandwidth.

Apple on Thursday jumped deeper into the education space with the launch of iBooks 2 for textbooks, a custom e-book creation platform dubbed iBooks Author, and an expanded iTunes U app that's also now accessible to K-12 educators.
"Education is deep in Apple's DNA and iPad may be our most exciting education product yet. With 1.5 million iPads already in use in education institutions, including over 1,000 one-to-one deployments, iPad is rapidly being adopted by schools across the US and around the world," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "Now with iBooks 2 for iPad, students have a more dynamic, engaging and truly interactive way to read and learn, using the device they already love."
With iBooks 2, Apple is bringing textbooks to the iPad. Rather than flipping through dog-eared, aging books, swipe through colorful, full-screen images, interactive 3D objects, and videos via iBooks 2. Students can read the book in the traditional, book format or switch to a graphic-enhanced option.
Not sure of a word? Tap it and a glossary will display a definition. To highlight a passage (with different color options), just use your finger, and tap to write a note about it. A toolbar will display all your notes in one section, but iBooks 2 includes a function that will turn these notes into flashcards for easy studying. It will also do the same for glossary terms.
The iBooks 2 app is free and available today in the App Store, and it works for the iPad and iPhone, Apple said. Those who already have the iBooks app installed will get the new functionality via an update.
Apple is teaming up with McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, which will offer textbooks via iBooks for $14.99 or less. Inside the App Store's new textbook category, McGraw-Hill and Pearson are now offering algebra, biology, chemistry, geometry, and physics books for U.S. customers; Houghton Mifflin e-textbooks are coming soon.
Selections from DK Publishing and the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation will also be on offer.
Create Your Own E-Books
Major publishers, however, are not the only ones who can create e-textbooks. A new Mac App Store app, iBooks Author, allows educators and smaller publishers to create their own books for inclusion in the iBookstore. That can be a textbook, cookbook, history book, or more.
Text and images can be added by dragging and dropping, while movies, interactive photo galleries, Keynote presentations, and more can be included via Multi-Touch widgets.
The more tech-savvy user can also customize their iBooks Author e-book, Apple said. When you're done, preview the e-book via the iPad.
Apple's iBooks Author is also available today, for free, in the Mac App Store.
iTunes U App
Once you have all this new content, how do you organize it? Apple's iTunes U has been around for some time, with 700 million downloads since its inception, Apple said today. But the tool has primarily been used for lectures; the new iTunes U app expands that functionality.
Students with an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch can download the app and access course work, like lectures, assignments, books, quizzes, and syllabi, though some features only work on the iPad. They can also access free educational content from universities like Cambridge, Duke, Harvard, Oxford and Stanford.
Apple also announced plans to expand beyond the college level, offering the iTunes U app to K-12 educators.
"The all-new iTunes U app enables students anywhere to tap into entire courses from the world's most prestigious universities," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. "Never before have educators been able to offer their full courses in such an innovative way, allowing anyone who's interested in a particular topic to learn from anywhere in the world, not just the classroom."
The success of these efforts, of course, depends on how many people have iOS devices. The iPad does not run cheap, starting at $499, while the iPhone and iPod touch will also set you back several hundred dollars. That hasn't hurt sales, of course, with at least 4 million iPhone 4S devices sold at launch. Expect more sales figures during Apple's Jan. 24 earnings call.
Apple sent out invites for today's education event last week, with rumors later surfacing about a "Garageband for e-books," something the late Steve Jobs was reportedly working on for months before his October 2011 death.

FDA Pulls Bulk Caffeine From The Shelves
A spoonful of caffeine could kill you.
Who hasn’t chugged the odd coffee to stay up? Caffeine is a good friend to many of us — but too much can be lethal, the Food And Drug Administration says, as it bans the selling of caffeine in bulk.
The FDA released a guidance on Friday announcing that the sale of pure or highly concentrated caffeine in powder or liquid forms in bulk quantities is now considered illegal, effective immediately. Such products “present a significant public health threat” because of the risk that consumers may inadvertently ingest a dangerous or even lethal amount.
Some perspective: a single teaspoon of a powdered pure caffeine product can contain approximately 3,200 mg of caffeine, according to the FDA — the equivalent of about 20 to 28 cups of coffee, a potentially toxic dose of caffeine.
For most adults, less than two tablespoons of some formulations of powdered, pure caffeine is enough to be lethal, the release continued, while smaller amounts can prove life threatening to children. The possibility of human error makes the sale of bulk caffeine even more dangerous. While the recommended serving size of caffeine equates to 1/16 of a teaspoon of pure powder or approximately 2.5 teaspoons of liquid caffeine, many consumers don’t have the tools or the knowledge to properly measure such amounts, the release explained, and the results have been deadly.
“Highly concentrated and pure caffeine, often sold in bulk packages, have been linked to at least two deaths in otherwise healthy individuals,” the statement reads.
This isn’t the first time the FDA has tried to make the public aware of the dangers of caffeine. 16-year-old Davis Allen Cripe reportedly died from a caffeine-induced cardiac event causing a probable arrhythmia after ingesting a number of beverages containing caffeine in 2014, CNN reported. That same year, 18-year-old Logan Stiner died of a caffeine overdose after ingesting too much powdered caffeine, according to USA Today, prompting the FDA to issue a warning letter to five sellers of bulk caffeine, Business Insider reports.
Hmm. Maybe just stick to coffee?

CheapAir Tops $1.5 Million in Total Bitcoin Sales
CEO Jeff Klee speaks to CoinDesk about the company's bitcoin sales success, the arrival of Expedia, and more.
California-based online travel booking website CheapAir.com has announced that it has completed more than $1.5m in bitcoin sales on flights, hotels and Amtrak bookings via its platform.
Speaking to CoinDesk, CheapAir CEO Jeff Klee suggested that the numbers are a testament to the loyalty of bitcoin users who have remained committed to the company even in the face of new competition.
Klee told CoinDesk:
CheapAir began accepting bitcoin for flight bookings in November and has since expanded its services to include bookings at its 200,000 partner hotels and railway offerings.
The news follows the June announcement that one of CheapAir's major rivals, bookings giant Expedia, would accept bitcoin for hotel bookings.
Klee told CoinDesk that CheapAir has been tracking the progress of Expedia and its new bitcoin offering, but that so far, it hasn't seen a sales decline, even as the number of travel options bitcoin users have has expanded.
"We were wondering if we might take a hit because of it, but we haven't," Klee said.
CheapAir further responded to the idea that bitcoin users are now making use of both Expedia and CheapAir's platforms – using CheapAir to book flights and Expedia to book hotels, saying that the company views this as a positive for both bitcoin and CheapAir.
I feel so good wearing clothes, on a flight, to a hotel, all paid for with Bitcoin! @Expedia @CheapAir @anonymouscoin pic.twitter.com/0Z6cujD6cK
— Roger Ver (@rogerkver) July 3, 2014
Prize package offered

To enter, contestants can tweet @CheapAir using the hashtag #LondonBTC and indicating why they want to win the free travel experience.
The company says a winner will be announced on 23rd July, and that the individual will win a $2,000 voucher to purchase a flight and hotel stay. A two-day pass to the event will also be included in the prize package.
