- Employees assembling Model 3 vehicles at Tesla's Fremont factory on the GA3 line were sent home early from shifts this week, three Tesla employees told Business Insider.
- One factory worker said the GA3 line, which is the main assembly line for Model 3 production, was sent home early on Wednesday without meeting goals.
- The worker said roughly 211 Model 3 sedans were assembled before workers were sent home three and a half hours early from their typical 12-hour shift. The employee said the company aims to make 300 Model 3 vehicles per shift on the GA3 line.
- In early July, Tesla CEO Elon Musk sent out a company-wide email celebrating the Fremont plant hitting the 5,000-cars-per-week benchmark, and saying the factory was on track to raise that figure to 6,000 cars a week.
- The worker said the email "was laughed at," as the GA3 line has rarely hit its benchmarks.
- Tesla declined to comment on whether GA3 line workers were being sent home early and about internal targets for the Model 3.
On Wednesday, Tesla factory workers putting together the Model 3 on the GA3 line were allowed to go home early from the Fremont, California plant, leaving at 2:30 p.m. PT, instead of the usual 6 p.m., three Tesla employees told Business Insider. The employees spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs.
Workers on GA3, which is Tesla's main assembly line for the Model 3, were also sent home early on the night shifts that started on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, an employee said. At the time of publishing on Thursday, normal operations had resumed.
Typically, a worker told Business Insider, a shift is only sent home early because it met its goals for a period of time or because there is a problem that is making it impossible to assemble more vehicles. For example, one of the two lines on GA3 might be sent home if there is a problem that has prevented the progression of assembling vehicles for hours.
In this case, both lines were sent home, with the entire GA3 line leaving early. According to a factory worker, the reason was not because the company had hit its production goals for the day.
(If you have a story about Elon Musk or Tesla you want to share, reach out to firstname.lastname@example.org.)
In fact, the worker said the company missed internal targets. The employee said the target is to produce 300 cars per shift (there are two 12-hour shifts per day), but on Wednesday the line produced 211 vehicles during the day shift.
Tesla declined to comment on whether GA3 workers were sent home early and about internal targets.
The number of cars completed per shift is displayed on a screen for line workers at the factory. Not meeting the required numbers is a common problem in recent weeks, the factory worker, who has been at Tesla for a little under a year, said.
According to this worker, his 12-hour shift is supposed to push 300 cars through the line, as part of Tesla's aim to get 5,000 Model 3 cars assembled per week. However, his shift has only reached this goal roughly three or four times in the last three weeks, he said.
"The days we even hit 300, we celebrate it in the morning," he said, adding that there have been very few celebrations recently.
According to the worker, each station at the plant (such as body wiring, pedal assembly, and airbag installation) is supposed to take roughly two minutes on average. However, internal information shared with Business Insider showed that on Wednesday, nearly every station was running over time, blocking the progression of cars down the line.
In early July, Elon Musk reportedly sent a company-wide email celebrating the Fremont factory hitting the 5,000-cars-per-week milestone.
"What's more, with the widespread productivity gains throughout Tesla and the new production lines spooling up, we are on track to reach 6K/week for Model 3 next month," Musk said in the email, viewed by Bloomberg. "I think we just became a real car company...."
However, the factory worker said "that hype email saying 'let's reach 6k' was laughed at.'"
"We barely could get to 5,000," he said.
Tesla, though, has managed to reach goals despite shifts coming up short of expectations in the past, with unconventional solutions such as creating new assembly lines.
In June, Musk revealed the company had built a new line for Model 3 production, dubbed GA4, in a giant tent outside the Fremont factory.
Reuters also reported in late June that shifts were failing to meet the 300-car-per-shift goal, making it unlikely the factory would meet the 5,000-per-week mark. Three days later, Reuters reported that the factory hit the 5,000 car milestone.

Innovation and What’s Next, themes for Southeast Asia Venture Capital & Private Equity Conference 2019
By Digital News Asia July 24, 2019
- Most businesses will be commoditized if they don't figure out a way to innovate.
- Officiated by Minister of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change, Yeo Bee Yin
The Malaysian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (MVCA) will be holding its annual, Southeast Asia Venture Capital & Private Equity Conference 2019 (SEAVCPE 2019) at Securities Commission Malaysia, tomorrow, the 25th of July.
The annual conference aims to provide venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) players with awareness and knowledge of industry best practices, current challenges, impacts, opportunities and alternatives within the space in the region.
The event also acts as a platform for the players, which include practitioners, investors, regulators and SME’s to exchange ideas and enhance networking to further grow the industry not only in Malaysia but throughout Southeast Asia.
MVCA Chairman, Victor Chua, explains that this year’s conference theme, “Forging Innovation, What’s Next” highlights the importance of companies riding on the Industrial Revolution 4.0 wave as this means survival through innovation.
"The days of companies and countries relying on the old school way of doing business is over. Most businesses will be commoditized if they don't figure out a way to innovate. Just like how online travel agencies are affecting the hoteliers and airlines. The lack of data becomes an issue for old businesses to understand their end users better,” said Chua, who is also the Managing Partner of Vynn Capital.
As such, the conference this year, to be officiated by Minister of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change, Yeo Bee Yin, is specifically focused on how the new integrates with the old.
“The MVCA is also grateful to receive support from the government for its initiative and hopes this conference will add value to industry players,” he said.
The topics this time around include an overview of the current VC and PE sector, explores application of Industry 4.0, has case studies on AI, Big Data, IoT, Greentech and looks at deep tech verticals and the opportunities and challenges of deep tech in Southeast Asia.
Speakers include from Frost & Sullivan, Aerodyne Group, Naluri Life, Preqin, MDT Innovations, Green & Smart, MTDC (Malaysia Technology Development Corp), Strand Aerospace, Twsitcode, HLx and E-Vault Technologies.
Tickets are sold between RM1,250 and RM1,500 and can be purchased at the conference held at Securities Commission Malaysia, from 9am to 5.30pm tomorrow.

Editor’s note: This is a transcript of the audio file.
Who you are and what you do can make you more vulnerable to having your identity stolen. Are you in one of the groups at greater risk? I’m Doug Whiteman with your Bankrate.com Personal Finance Minute.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission estimates that nearly 9 million people fall victim to identity theft every year. Experts say that some people become prey more easily than others.
Social media users are a popular mark, because many of us put too much of ourselves out there on Facebook, Twitter and the like. People who pay with credit and debit cards can be at greater risk, particularly if a store or a payments processor is hacked and your card number is stolen. ID thieves also target mobile phone users, partly because they so often fail to use passwords to protect their phones.
Children can be victimized, because the little ones now routinely have Social Security numbers, yet those go unmonitored for years. And executives are a target because they’re high-profile and tend to have more credit and more accounts.

For all the excitement Tesla Inc. mustered by starting to deliver its cheaper Model 3, the tall order ahead for the sedan will be to pull off what no electric car has done to date — move the needle on the auto market.
Tesla’s sedan starting at $35,000 has landed as U.S. sales of EVs and other green autos, including hybrids, perk up for the first time in four years. The gains have been too modest to matter to an industry in decline during the first half of the year. Total car and truck deliveries probably shrank a seventh straight month in July.
A dearth of EVs offering both affordability and ample driving range has kept consumers from demanding them in large numbers thus far.
On paper, the Model 3 and General Motors Co.’s Chevrolet Bolt have the potential to take significant steps toward EVs finally reaching mainstream relevance. Both are priced closer to what the average vehicle sells for in the U.S. and are capable of going more than 200 miles between charges.
“If you’re trying to make a difference in the world, you obviously have to make cars that people can afford,” Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive officer, told reporters Friday before handing over the first 30 Model 3 sedans to company employees. “This is a car that about half of the people in the U.S. — in an advanced economy — can afford.”

By utilizing Web3, the underlying issues in the music industry can be dealt with, and Corite aims to provide maximum value to artists and fans by leveraging the BNB Chain.
A New Era for Music
Corite, a crowdfunding and fan interaction music platform, looks to transform the “over-centralized” music industry. Its core feature is fan campaigns, which let users get a piece of the revenue generated by songs.
Although Web3 is still in its infancy, its advantages – such as decentralization, community engagement, and ownership enhancement – could make it an effective solution to the underlying issues in the music industry like the presence of centralized entities (record labels, agents, promoters, etc.). By positioning itself as a Web3 music platform, Corite aims to allow users to support their favorite artists while also sharing their successes.
“Corite uses blockchain and fan power to transform the music industry. Fans can support their favorite artists on Corite’s CO platform and share in their success,” Alex, Corite’s business development and marketing coordinator told BSC News. “This method enables us to address two major issues in the music industry: revenue cuts on major streaming platforms and a lack of interaction between musicians and their fans.”
Artists benefit from raising funds upfront to promote their material, and fans benefit when artists reach or exceed streaming goals. As reported in an article from BNB Chain, Corite allows fans to pay with traditional fiat currencies like PayPal or credit cards and crypto. The platform’s native $CO token will also launch soon.
During the fundraising process, artists must set a fundraising goal, provide a target number of streams and project the returns for backers for each song. By tracking the data, Corite collects the revenue, then distributes it back to users according to their revenue share.
For example, if an artist has a fundraising goal of USD 1,000, 2M streams, and an expected return of 1.8x, let’s assume they reach their goal. When a fan contributes $40, she will get 4% of the streaming revenue. She will receive $72 if the artist meets their goal and make $32.
“The whole goal here is to get as many people as possible on board, so we put down the threshold to $1 and the maximum investment at $10 so everybody will be able to participate,” says Mattias Tenfblad, co-founder and CEO of Corite, in a recent AMA with BNB Chain. “We don’t want to have people with a lot of money buying the song share of “Unity.” We want thousands of people joining this campaign to be able to do some missions together to make sure that this song becomes a huge success.”
Corite has also recently announced a fan campaign with the popular Norwegian DJ Alan Walker. It took less than a week for Alan’s new song “Unity” to reach its fundraising goal and was already released on June 3.
Additionally, Corite recently released an exclusive Non-fungible Token (NFT) collection celebrating 100 independent artists who have made successful fan campaigns on Corite since its inception. The latest move also offers fans the opportunity to acquire Corite $CO tokens ahead of their upcoming launch. The mint has been open since June 6, 10 AM UTC.
What is Corite:
Corite is a Web3 music platform built on the BNB Chain to allow users to support and share their favorite musicians’ success. Corite provides two solutions for artists. In Corite, they can raise funds to create their music. If artists require marketing and promotion assistance, fans within Corite can assist them, and fans will promote the songs through various channels.

Von Trapp Farmstead just won at the World Cheese Awards … again. Last year, they took home a gold for their Oma cheese. This year, three von Trapp cheeses won awards: Oma won silver; Mt. Alice, a gooey woodsy mushroom and brassica flavored cheese, and Mad River Blue, a buttery umami blue cheese, won bronze awards.
The Guild of Fine Foods runs the World Cheese Awards competition every year. This year, the guild was hosted by the annual FORME cheese festival in Bergamo, Italy, on October 18, 2019. The 260 expert cheese tasters from 35 different countries judged 3,800 cheeses in one day.
“They are regimented tasting experts,” said Ben Eldredge, cheesemaker at von Trapp Farmstead. These tasters judge cheeses based on both technical and savory characteristics. Technical aspects of a cheese may include the texture of the cheese, the rind and proportion of salt. Sensory aspects of a cheese include the general experience of smelling and tasting the cheese.
“The World Cheese Award is a gratifying award. It’s a huge stage for us. You’re competing against cheeses that have been made for hundreds of years. It takes a lot of people and a lot of hard work. And it’s great to know that it’s not just us who think our cheese is good,” said Eldredge.
Von Trapp cheese is made at the family-owned and operated cheese creamery on Common Road in Waitsfield. Unlike creameries that purchase milk from other farms, von Trapp Farmstead gets their milk from their own cows. “That’s what makes us farmstead dairy. We use all our own milk,” said Eldredge.
Making organic artisanal cheese starts with a good diet for the cows. “They are out on the pasture all day. They eat grass, hay and supplements,” said Eldredge. Another key component of making cheese is attention to detail. “It takes a lot of attention and care from everybody, through each step of the process,” said Eldridge, “We are constantly tweaking and perfecting our cheeses.”

In 2016, you’d be hard-pressed to find an internet user that hasn’t used the Google search engine, at least once, in an effort to solve their query. Whether this user is looking for a solution to their problem, searching for the perfect something to buy online, or they’re just curious about “how far away is the sun from the earth,” Google certainly has the answer. And sometimes, you don’t even have to leave the search engine to find it.
Google isn’t the only search engine on the market, though. As of January 2016, Google’s market share remains the same as 2015 – at 63.8%. Maintaining the same market share year over year speaks to a stable company, especially when your closest competition is more than 40% behind you.
But when you’re Google, maintaining your market share isn’t good enough. While Google remained the same, their closest competitor Bing actually increased their market share. As Bing continues to increase their market share, even if it’s only by a few tenths of a percentage point here and there, they’re encroaching on Google’s territory.
Competition within any market keeps it healthy and alive. In the case of search engines, stiffer competition means more updates to search results and functionality. Cutting edge technology is being developed at Google every day to ensure that the search engine keeps evolving before the competition has the chance to catch up.
With so many recent updates to Google’s advertising service, Google AdWords, the search engine continues to make it clear that paid ads are the future of search. More and more advertisers are paying to play in Google’s search results – and the search results are starting to reflect that.
Ads stop displaying in search results sidebars
In February, users may have noticed that their search results suddenly looked different. In fact, it was around this time that Google pulled pay-per-click ads from displaying in the right sidebar of a user’s search. Instead of a sidebar full of paid ads, it’s now blank. PLAs (product listing ads) and knowledge graph cards are the only elements that may still display on the right sidebar for select searches.
This change to the search engine results pages (SERPs) was one of the biggest of the New Year from Google. Advertisers were understandably shaken by the adjustment. Instead of eight to ten chances of your ad appearing above the fold, you would be left with only four. The effects of removing sidebar ads were felt on mobile devices, too. Some searches from a mobile device like a smart phone return mostly ads, well above the fold. Currently, most search results pages display only three or four paid links above the organic blue links.
Since this change, advertisers have had to get serious about the PPC marketing accounts – weeding out low-ranking keywords that just don’t work and cutting down on the excess. Even though bids haven’t skyrocketed like some advertisers feared, the competition for those four spots has become even harder.
Shopping ad changes
As search ads disappeared from the right sidebar, shopping ads stuck around. The placement of PLAs hasn’t changed much. In a search for “kitchenaid mixer”, we’re still seeing results displayed to the right of the search result in the sidebar.
Instead of products being displayed on their own, we’re starting to see many more useful extensions accompanying each listing. Along with reviews, new PLA extensions include things like special offer tags, price drop percentages, and in store location pins. Google has made it easier than ever for users to shop right inside the engine, never having to navigate to another website.
More changes for PLAs are still to come. For listings at the top of the SERPs, Google is experimenting with expandable blocks. A user can toggle a button to reveal or hide more sponsored product listings. Upcoming product filter buttons will allows users to go even further, sorting PLAs by price, location, and ratings.
Expanded text ads
Aside from an impending overhaul coming to Google AdWords in the next year, the biggest change affecting PPC ,marketing is expanded text ads. Currently, Google AdWords allows for one 25-character ad headline and two 35-character copy lines.
Instead of 60 short characters, advertisers will soon have 115 to work with – that’s almost 50% more room to grab users’ attention! Advertisers are understandably excited about this change. More characters mean more opportunity to craft a really great ad.
The expanded text ads aren’t currently a feature in Google’s AdWords platform, but will be soon. This is just one of many updates coming to a revamped AdWords. No word yet on when this platform will be released to the public, but it’s already being actively beta tested by select users.
Google’s focus on updates to its paid advertising service show how much focus the company is placing on paid advertising. So much so, that some businesses feel as if there’s no other way to rank within the search engine. As many updates as Google AdWords and paid search have receive in the past few month, organic search isn’t far behind.
Ads stop displaying in search results sidebars
This update was already covered from a paid advertising perspective. However, removing ads from the sidebar has had an equal effect on organic search, just in a different way. When Google removed ads from the sidebar, they added one more ad to the three that would previously display above organic blue links on a SERP.
Four paid ads instead of three on the new SERPs mean there is even less room for organic results. In a search for “loose leaf tea”, a user is confronted first by four paid ads, then by a block of PLAs to their right, and finally a few organic results toward the bottom of their screen. Depending on their screen size, sometimes only one organic ad is visible above the fold.
One more ad may seem insignificant, but the amount of prime real estate is takes from organic results is not. You may have already noticed how things like knowledge cards, local packs, and PLAs effectively push organic results further and further down the page. Sometimes, the first organic result isn’t even visible above the fold.
Rich search results
Elements we’ve mentioned quite a few times already, like knowledge cards and local packs, are all known as “rich results.” These are search results that have been enhanced, making them more valuable for users. Just in the last month, Google has begun expanding the rich result repertoire.
Now, when a user searches for “applesauce”, their SERPs are filled with even more images of food! Instead of a standard blue text link, all searches involving recipes are accompanied by recipe thumbnails. Some searches even include knowledge cards in the sidebar with a definition, access to more images, and nutrition facts.
One can only assume since Google is setting such a visual precedent with recipe searches that they won’t stop there. Marketers need to get more creative with their content, producing even higher quality information that’s made to draw users in. The use of thumbnails beside results is just the beginning.
AMP pages, or accelerate mobile pages, aren’t new to Google this year, but they are starting to gain some serious traction. Simply put, these speedy mobile pages are made to be consumed quickly. The way in which AMP is built allows for fast load times with little downtime for users. In addition to Google mobile results, you’ll find these pages on Facebook as Instant Articles.
As more and more users search on their mobile devices every day, the more people have a need content that loads quickly. In fact, 80% of internet users own a smart phone. It’s safe to assume that most of them have performed a Google search at least once from their smartphones.
AMP allows content to be more on-demand than ever. Nothing turns users away faster from your mobile site than slow-loading content. AMP isn’t only the future of mobile search, it’s the future of all search. As the amount of content on the web continues to grow, so does the need for ridiculously fast load times.
Google continues to grow and evolve, and the driving force behind most of their changes is to better serve their users. When you understand all of the recent changes and how they impact your PPC marketing and SEO marketing, you can better serve your customers, too.

Small business owners across the country encountered almost 230,000 cyber attacks throughout 2016, according to a new report from the broadband provider, Beaming. In addition, the average number of cyber attacks reaching business firewalls breached the 1,000 per day mark for the first time ever in November, reinforcing the need for adequate cyber security and IT support.
The targets of the attacks by cyber criminals appeared to shift as the year progressed. In Q1 2016, around a third of all cyber attacks on UK SMEs involved attempts to gain access to company data. However, between Q1 and Q4 2016, there was a 310% rise in the amount of cyber attacks on connected devices controlled remotely online such as building control and CCTV systems. Putting that into even greater context, by the close of 2016, over 90% of all cyber attacks on UK SMEs targeted Internet of Things devices.
Beaming’s report also indicates that cyber criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their approach, with fives times more unique IP addresses utilised to cloak attacks on Britain’s small business community in 2016, 98% of which were located overseas.
Increasingly, cyber attacks are computer scripts that trail the internet for glaring flaws and weaknesses in business firewalls. The very nature of the Internet of Things means that businesses are creating problems for their company’s firewalls by giving third-party suppliers direct access to any devices connected to their systems.
Sonia Blizzard, managing director of Beaming, said: “It is imperative that companies regularly review their firewall policies to ensure they are as restrictive as possible and prioritise security over convenience.
“Once inside, it is relatively easy for hackers to take over connected devices and lie dormant before misusing those assets as part of a bigger hack or distributed denial of service attack at a later stage.”
If you’re a small business owner that’s unsure whether or not your IT system is bullet-proofed against cyber attacks, at Nimbus we can work with you to refine your network setup. For many businesses operating online, their IT systems have simply evolved without a rock-solid strategy, leaving critical weaknesses open to cyber criminals. But you don’t have to deal with the threat of cyber attacks alone. Our team of experts can provide invaluable IT support, from antivirus hardware and software to virtual server solutions.

Drake's 'VIEWS' Is Already Platinum, Plus News on Its Physical and Streaming Release Dates
Champagnepapi is surely popping a few celebratory bottles right about now.
2016 is sure to be a celebratory year for Toronto’s musical spokesman, Drake. After a successful rollout of his latest album VIEWS, Drizzy has recently announced a joint tour with Future and has even more reason to turn up via latest album sales reaching platinum status. After revealing first-week sales, VIEWS‘ statistics have lived up to its hype and continue to soar. The album competed with Beyoncé’s surprise Lemonade album and outsold it in a single day, which is a nice touch to add to the music industry’s competitive nature.
According to Republic Records, despite it only being available on iTunes and Apple Music so far, VIEWS has sold the equivalent (which also includes streams) of 1.2 million copies with over a million of those sold coming solely from the United States. Achieving such a prominent feat in less than a week also places Apple Music at a high point with its streaming ability only being exclusive to the platform.
Additionally, VIEWS will physically release in stores on May 6 and will extend its streaming services to platforms such as TIDAL and Spotify beginning May 13.

Ogilvy Johannesburg’s billboard campaign for the launch of the new Audi Q7 makes playful reference to a competing brand and positions the sports utility vehicle in a league of its own.
Ogilvy Johannesburg creative director, Fran Luckin says the introduction of this vehicle will see the re-positioning of competing brands. “The headline, “The end of generation X. The new Audi Q7,” is meant to be provocative,” she says.
The billboard campaign was devised by Ogilvy to complement Audi’s existing TV and print campaign, which focuses on Quattro, the first ever all wheel drive (AWD) technology applied to volume produced passenger cars. Now, says Audi, it has produced a car for Quattro.
That’s the core message Ogilvy Johannesburg had to mull over when it was briefed to come up with activations that would reinforce Audi’s Q7 message. Luckin says because the TV and radio spots came from the USA, her team needed to come up with an interesting campaign to give the SA launch some local flavour.
To create further buzz for the launch, a cavalcade of Audi Q7’s sporting the same message has been spotted around Pretoria and Johannesburg. The cavalcade also made its way to the Loeries in Kwa-Zulu Natal where Ogilvy’s Audi “Magnifying Glass” poster campaign and “Satnav” radio campaign snapped up Bronze awards.
Audi SA marketing communications manager Chayne Brand says the Audi Q7 marks yet another milestone in the progression of the Audi brand. “True to our brand philosophy of Vorsprung the communication around the launch of the vehicle emulates this progressive attitude. Audi communication sets out to be thought provoking, impactful and challenge the status quo. The Audi Q7 launch campaign does this at various levels – by building on Audi’s superior quattro heritage as well as recognizing that the brand appeals to a whole new generation of premium customer,” he says.
The team behind the Audi Q7 campaign comprises creative director, Fran Luckin, art director, Vanessa Gibson and copywriter, Alison Hingle, from Ogilvy Johannesburg.

Return-It Expands Used Clothing Drop-off Program in BC
Giving new life to your old or unwanted clothing is now possible at more Return-It locations throughout British Columbia. Based on the success of a pilot project launched in March 2019, the initiative has been expanded from 13 to 31 depot locations in the region, with more locations coming on board in the coming months.
“The average adult throws out about 81 pounds of clothing and other textiles every year,” said Allen Langdon, President and CEO of Return-It. “In Metro Vancouver alone, 40,000 tonnes of textiles end up in the landfill annually, making up approximately 5 percent of the region’s municipal solid waste. Those numbers provide a clear rationale for our new expanded program.”
Since March, Return-It collected 1,640 bags of textiles – weighing over 26 metric tonnes – to help breathe new life into old garments.
Residents now have a permanent option to drop off used clothing, shoes and household textiles. Examples of accepted items include:
- Clothing – Shirts, coats, pants, dresses, shorts and children’s clothes
- Textiles – Sheets, towels, curtains, drapes, blankets, linens
- Footwear – Shoes (all types), boots, slippers
Return-It has partnered with Bank & Vogue – one of the largest traders of used clothing in North America – to pursue a shared mandate of diverting waste from landfill. Items collected through the program are distributed to re-use organizations within Western Canada.
“Most of us have unused or unloved clothing taking up space at home,” added Langdon. “Now, more BC residents can conveniently recycle textiles while they’re returning refundable beverage containers and other items. Given the positive feedback from the pilot, I’m optimistic we’ll be able to continue to expand the program across the province.”
Members of the public are encouraged to check return-it.ca/locations/textiles for the latest depot locations participating in the program.

PETALING JAYA: More digital tracker removal centres will be opened around the Klang Valley from Tuesday (Jan 11), says QuickMed, the manufacturer of the e-Bracelet digital tracking device for individuals under home quarantine.
It said the seven new centres via its partner U.n.i Klinik are expected to provide faster and more convenient removal service.
"These new locations will be open seven days a week from 9am to 5pm," it said.
Locations of the new centres include Shah Alam, Kota Damansara, Semenyih and Cheras.
QuickMed also apologised for an incident on Sunday (Jan 9), where a large number of users queued at one of the removal centres to have their digital trackers removed after their home quarantine.
"We would like to extend our sincere apologies to those involved and would like to inform that the matter was immediately resolved within 30mins of escalation," it said in a statement on Sunday.
Those who have completed quarantine may proceed to the nearest centre to have their digital tracker removed without needing to make an appointment.
With the opening of the new centres, QuickMed will have over 30 locations in Peninsular Malaysia to remove the trackers.
For more information, members of the public may contact QuickMed via its hotline 03-3000 8856; by WhatsApp at 019-6547181, 019-6547806 and 019-6547907; or email firstname.lastname@example.org.

The situation with the “Spaces for People” restrictions in Stonehaven town centre has truly reached a crisis point.
I know several traders whose businesses are being so adversely affected that they are literally about to give up.
Since major parking restrictions were introduced in order to make more room for people, one business took in only £40 in an entire week and another sold only four buttons in a week. Many of the town’s businesses have seen their turnover halved.
Aside from the absolutely dire situation for traders, shoppers and those who have any reason to visit the town centre are finding it impossible to park, and several people I know have now decided to shop elsewhere.
Tourists are failing to stop in the town centre, as many would ordinarily do for a meal or to buy things – they can’t, as they cannot park. I can assure you this is happening every day.
If we – the people – can work out very easily that this inability to access the town centre impacts on all the businesses, why can Aberdeenshire Council officials not see that?
These barriers – which ironically are not required as the centre of Stonehaven is like a ghost town – must be removed now before half the shops in the town are forced to close, bringing dreadful consequences for the town, the business owners, the staff, and those who shop in Stonehaven.

Fury at footballers
TS suggests fining the footballers involved in the Covid lockdown breach a month’s wage.
They most certainly need to be punished but a month of their inflated wages goes nowhere towards recompense for those lives put on hold and endangered.
I doubt local business would consider it a fair punishment for causing the loss of hard-fought-for livelihoods in this impoverished, struggling city.
Aileen Mitchell, bucksburn.
It is near impossible to get through to park or to golf courses because they take up the left lane all the way back to the roundabout. Why can they not put in place the one-way system?

iPhone 13 retail box will up next give another in-box product a miss. After charger and earphones, Apple is said to be removing the USB cable from iPhone 13 retail box. The Cupertino based tech giant is once again doing a survey for an opinion via a new survey. This time iPhone 13 retail box will not come with the USB cable, as per the reports.
As Apple is trying to cut down on carbon footprint, they have been discarding in-box products one by one.
At the iPhone 12 launch Apple announced they will remove the charging adapter and the EarPods from all the iPhone retail boxes in future. Now they are surveying some users whether they use the charging adapter inside the box.
Apple is once again asking for a similar opinion via a new survey. Probably Apple will now cut off the USB cable which comes within the iPhone box. Among the questions in the survey, Apple also asked if users are satisfied with the FaceID authentication tech. The company is probably working on a few alternatives as well.
14.2 iOS Update Killing 50 Percent Battery In 30 Minutes
The latest iOS 14.2 update is said to be killing 50 percent of the battery on iPhones in just 30 minutes. Not only battery drain, multiple users have reported that after the update iPhones are restarting on their own. Also, after the battery drain, some phones are rebooting on their own, and again the battery surged up.
iOS 14.2 was recently found to be unexpectedly bumping up the FaceTime video resolution on older iPhones.
Several users have complained on the official developer forum and Reddit that iOS 14.2 is killing the battery life of iPhones very fast. Apple has previously been charged with intentionally slowing down old iPhones and adding glitchware to kill battery faster.
The issue is being faced mainly by users of iPhone XS, iPhone 7, iPhone 6S and the first-gen iPhone SE from 2017. Apple is yet to release a new update, but the company is usually very quick in rolling out updates to fix such issues. A maintenance update is expected in next one week.
Also: iPhone 12 Series Not Waterproof, Apple Lied, Fined In Italy
The new Apple phones are waterproof, at least what the company claims. But the real story behind is a little different, and Apple has been making false claims. The all-new Apple iPhone 12 series is being marketed as safe to drown upto 30 minutes under water, but in real they aren’t.
For the same Apple has been fined €10 million (around $12 million or 840 crores) in Italy.
The devices are being advertised as water resistant, but the devices are not. Italy’s antitrust authority said the commercials are misleading. As per the regulator, Apple have advertised the new iPhones as water resistant without clarifying their water resistance ratings.
The advertisements showing the new iPhone 12 series can stay under water upto 30 minutes also have disclaimers below that the phones aren’t covered by warranty in case of damage from liquids.
Apple has been also blamed to be tricking customers through disclaimers. So, the authority has held Apple under misleading customers as the customer will be provided no support for the damage caused to their phones with water and other liquids as the company claimed the devices are water resistant.

Marel is pleased to announce the completion of its first issue in the Schuldschein market of EUR 140..
The Coat Makes the Chicken!
23 Nov 2012
Marel Townsend Further Processing’s demo center in Boxmeer, the Netherlands was a very busy place on 21 and 22 November. Spread across these two days, no fewer than 130 customers from countries such as Indonesia, China, Egypt, France and Poland came in response to an invitation to their Coating Event. Together with their Marel Meat colleagues from Oss and DP&S, a supplier of coating products, the entire demo center had been set up to show the customers as much as possible of what Marel can do on the subject of coating.
Customers could see the products being made from beginning to end, pick them up off the belt and even taste them. “It was good to get the theory first and then see it all in practice,” an Indonesian customer said. “If you only see a catalogue or a video, you don’t really understand. Now we have got the complete picture in an interactive setting. Very interesting.”
All in all the Coating Event was a true success and a large number of (potential) customers were able to fully experience the innovative technology from Marel.

Exhibiting “exaBase Robotics” at the 2022 International Robot Exhibition The world’s first “pancake serving AI robot” that learns the serving sense of a Michelin star chef will be exhibited.
A high-speed AI picking robot that can be used in the food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and logistics industries will also be exhibited.
ExaWizards Inc., a company that develops artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled services to solve social issues (hereafter, “ExaWizards“; headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & President: Ko Ishiyama), will exhibit “exaBase Robotics” at the 2022 International Robot Exhibition to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday, March 9th to Saturday, 12th.
☑Reproduction of expert skills – Pancake serving AI robot
We will exhibit the world’s first AI pancake serving robot realized in collaboration with Chef Hajime Koto, who has won two Michelin stars. Using GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks), the robot learns the characteristics of the image data of the pancakes served by Chef Koto, and developed an AI model to judge whether the design is good or bad by mutually training the AI to generate a pseudo-pancake design and the AI to identify the design. The AI robot that has acquired the features of Chef Koto’s arrangement will demonstrate the best placement of pancakes and blueberries in a dedicated robot kitchen. Chef Koto is also scheduled to speak at the “exaBase Robotics” booth on Wednesday, March 9th, the first day of the event.
AI learns the design sense of food arrangement, which can never be verbalized.
We have acquired a design generation model that captures the features of Chef Koto’s serving style.
Chef Hajime Koto
Representative and Executive Chef of HAJIME KOTO. Born in Hokkaido.
For a total of seven years at restaurants in France and Japan by French culinary master Alain Ducasse, he trained at “Michel Brass Toya Japon” and became an executive chef at the same time as the opening of “Dominique Bouchet Tokyo”. He became the youngest chef in the French cuisine industry (29 years old at the time) to receive two stars within four months of his appointment. In 2017, he established “HAJIME KOTO” as a brand of Haute Couture Restaurant Maison. As an executive chef, he creates meals for French and international maison brands by designing, branding, team building, and creating dishes that match each concept. He also works as a producer for chefs and creatives, creating environments and spaces where creatives can maximize their potential.

Despite the ongoing influx of incessant liberalization and globalization, the Indian retail sector continues to be aloof from progressive and ostentatious development. This dismal situation of the retail sector absolutely is due to the absence of a Foreign Direct Investment (hereinafter referenced as "FDI") encouraging coverage in the Indian retail sector. In this context, makes an attempt have been made to study the tactical issues regarding the composition of Indian retail sector, current FDI coverage and its limitation.

Oregon will get more than $100,000 from two companies settling charges that they overbilled the state Medicaid program for drugs.
The Walgreen Co. will pay the Oregon Medicaid Program $61,446.70 to settle charges that the drug store chain switched the form of medicine it dispensed --such as pills vs. tablets --to inflate prices. Oregon is one of 42 states that, with Puerto Rico and the federal government, sought damages from Walgreens. The drug chain settled all the claims for $35 million and a promise not to switch medicine forms to pump up profits again.
The state also announced a change to an existing settlement with drug company Glaxo Smith Kline. The company will pay the Medicaid program $40,436.06 to settle claims that it improperly raised the price charged for the antibiotic Amoxil. Both settlements started when insiders blew the whistle on the companies' bad billing practices.
