On April 23, 2021, China’s Ministry of Public Security held a press conference on the status of enforcing criminal intellectual property (IP) infringement laws. At the press conference, the Ministry said that during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan,” which just ended, public security agencies across China have investigated more than 90,000 criminal cases of infringement of intellectual property rights and production and sale of counterfeit goods with a value of more than 47 billion RMB, and arrested more than 130,000 criminal suspects.
The number of investigations has significantly increased over time. During the “Kunlun 2020” special operation, the public security organs investigated more than 21,000 criminal cases of infringement and counterfeiting, a year-on-year increase of 35%. In the first quarter of this year, more than 3,800 cases were solved, and more than 8,200 suspects were arrested. The number of cases solved increased by 80% compared with the same period when the epidemic broke out last year.
At the press conference, the Ministry also released a list of 10 typical cases of criminal IP infringement covering trademark, copyright and trade secret, which follows.
1. Zhejiang Jinhua Public Security Bureau Investigated the Case of “February 19” Stealing and Recording Movies on the Spring Festival Video
In February 2021, the public security organ of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, based on clues received by the Food and Drug Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and with the strong support of copyright and film management departments, successfully investigated the “February 19” pirated recording and spreading the Spring Festival video. In the online movie case, 19 criminal suspects were arrested, pirated versions of “Hello, Li Huanying”, “Chinatown Detective 3” and many other movies released during the Spring Festival were seized, the main source of pirated cinema recording was eliminated, and 17 pieces of criminal equipment were confiscated. According to investigations, since December 2020, the suspect Zhou and Mao have repeatedly stolen movies from theaters. After video editing, they have made “high-definition” pirated movies for profit-making in the small “movie bars” they run as well as online.
2. The public security organs in Kaifeng, Henan, uncovered the “August 13” case of manufacturing and selling counterfeit brand electrical products
In August 2020, the public security organ of Kaifeng City, Henan Province, based on the clues reported by the right holder, successfully solved the “8.13” case of producing and selling counterfeit electrical products, eliminated 16 criminal dens for manufacturing and selling counterfeit brand electrical products, and arrested 12 suspects.

This is the first piece in a three-part series about recycling and the efforts of the Plasticity Forum.
Plastic is everywhere: in our homes, our offices, our schools – we can’t seem to get away from it. Even products not made of plastic are usually wrapped in it.
It isn’t all bad. Plastic is a cheap material that allows manufacturers to package merchandise with ease while saving money. Lower costs mean companies can charge less. This stimulates spending and keeps our economy healthy. But recycling is also economically feasible, and we’re just not doing it enough.
In Developing World, Dumping Is Status Quo
Most developing nations boast linear economies. A product (in this case plastic) is bought, used and simply discarded. It’s never cleaned, sorted, or reused; it’s quickly “dumped” without regard for where it will wind up. Most developing nations don’t have the equipment necessary to manage proper sorting or recycling methods, so most of the waste they produce is dumped in the streets, thus making its way into nearby oceans and water sources by way of nasty weather and sewer systems.
Beaches in Hong Kong, for example, have done a good job of attracting more plastic than tourism lately, though Stuart Clark, managing director of FOY Group, lists the biggest plastic havens as India, the Philippines and Indonesia. Speaking with Planet Experts, Clark describes a harsh and unforgiving reality in Southeast Asia.
“A lot of plastic and garbage is just dumped. There is no system to properly collect, aggregate and recycle,” he says. “Many people then try to use the waste plastic to make a living. People are so poor in these countries, they’re going through the garbage and selling what they can find, but it is all very unhygienic, inefficient, ineffective and unsafe. Meanwhile, the piles of waste just get higher”
But this only represents one portion of the world, right? There’s no way countries like the United States, with all their infrastructure and alleged recycling power, aren’t doing as well as they should be. We teach kids from an early age how important it is to recycle and we can confidently say we’ve gotten the message across… can’t we?
Americans Not Recycling Enough Plastic
Douglas Woodring is the founder and managing director of the Plasticity Forum. Since 2011, the organization has brought entrepreneurs, designers and innovators together to discuss new methods and ideas for handling plastic pollution. The Forum recently held conferences in Shanghai and London, and will visit Dallas and Anaheim in April and May, respectively.
Woodring sat down with us to discuss the haphazard recycling efforts one witnesses in countries like the United States. He says only 27 percent of plastic in America is properly recycled, and that the greater majority winds up in oceans or landfills, leading to several problems.
In landfills, plastic mixes with food waste and creates methane, a greenhouse gas with roughly 30 times more heat-trapping potency than carbon dioxide, and plastic in oceans can poison sea life. More than 700 aquatic species are known to consume plastic on a regular basis, while nearly 85 percent of seabirds likely have plastic in their stomachs (compare that to just five percent 50 years ago).
Even then, plastic is not strictly an ocean problem. It’s inadvertently consumed by land animals as well, from cows to camels to giraffes. Any creature that mistakenly identifies plastic as food faces health problems.
The Challenges of Circular Thinking
The U.S. touts a circular economy – one where waste is often reduced or reused to avoid pollution — but are we as circular as we think? Steve Russell, the Vice President of the
Steve Russell, the Vice President of the American Chemistry Council, feels that America and developed nations follow the steps necessary to employ circular economies, but says that “nobody’s perfect” and circular economies sometimes ignore the bigger picture.
“A circular economy looks specifically at recyclability, which is a very important aspect of sustainability,” he tells Planet Experts. “It’s what we put out and what is put back. This very noble and laudable goal is to keep a molecule in motion, but this isn’t where sustainability should stop.”
To illustrate his point, Russell mentions two popular cars: a 1966 Ford Falcon and a modern F-150 pickup. In a circular economy, the Falcon appears supreme at first glance. It’s made exclusively from steel and is 100 percent recyclable, yet it gets a measly six miles to the gallon. The F-150 is not fully recyclable, but weighs considerably less and gets 35 miles to the gallon, meaning it’s going to emit far fewer greenhouse gases. Sustainability should consider emissions as much as recyclability, meaning the F-150 may not be so bad after all.
Clark also offered his economic standpoint.
“We promote circular, but we are becoming more linear in our mental approach,” he says. “We’re not thinking enough about the world we’re leaving for our children. We need to find commercially viable methods for dealing with plastic, but there aren’t that many available right now.”
Tools For Promoting Plastic Reuse
The good news is that recovery methods have become more advanced. Plastic is a product that’s typically derived from petrochemicals, so it can be reused to provide necessary road-ready fuel. Clark’s company, the FOY Group, does this through a process known as pyrolysis. Plastic is recovered and returned to liquid form through the application of extreme heat in an oxygen-free environment. This process breaks down the molecules and turns the material into a petrochemical, which is then immediately refined into road-ready diesel and petrol.
“We provide a profitable solution that benefits the environment,” he says when discussing the economic benefits of FOY’s process. “Carbon emissions are lower by up to 38 percent, we reduce the utilization of fossil fuels, and we put value on plastic so people are less inclined to dump it. We also create jobs, put downward pressure on fuel prices, and reduce reliance on imports.”
Russell believes education is one of the best ways to recover more plastic. He recalls an experiment in New York by the World Plastics Council (of which he’s a participant) where pedestrians were asked which plastic materials could be recycled. Often, things like dry-cleaning bags, bottle caps, yogurt cups and butter tubs were dismissed by interviewees, when in truth, they’re just as recyclable as any bottle. He says giving people the information they need could lead to higher levels of recycling and stronger recovery rates.
“A lot of consumers don’t recycle plastics because they don’t know how,” he explains. “They don’t know which plastics are recyclable.”
He also says many communities don’t provide the necessary tools for recycling — such as rigid containers — as costs tend to run high, but that doing so could ultimately prevent financial turmoil on a wider scale.
“If we manage plastic well, there are no economic problems,” he says.
If you’d like to get involved with the Plasticity Forum, be sure to check out their upcoming events: Innovating for Scale, Recovery and Reuse in Dallas, Texas on April 21, 2017; and Technology, Design and Knowledge — Driving Plastic Sustainability in Anaheim, California on May 9, 2017.

BROOKVILLE — Jennifer and Dave Black, owners of the Blackbird Distillery, own and operate one of Pennsylvania’s only distilleries that makes moonshine all by hand. Recently, at the Washington Cup Spirits Competition, they had their shine put to the test.
Anthony Black, who has returned home from college to help his mom and dad run the wildly successful business, described their two prize-winning liquors. “Out of 170 distilleries across the United States, we took third place for our hot cinnamon moonshine and our Blackbird’s moonshine on tasting,” Black said. “The hot cinnamon is similar to your fireball whiskey, except it has a smoother taste to it.” Black went on to describe the Blackbird’s moonshine, which is a straight corn liquor, often referred to as “white lightning”. Each bottle has a slightly different proof, but the bottle that won the award was at 115.5.
The Blackbird Distillery faced steep competition at the Washington Cup, which is only for American-made spirits and liqueurs. The judges sampled different varieties of rum, whiskey, gin, vodka and, of course, moonshine.
Even without the critical acclaim, customers know what they’re getting at the Blackbird Distillery is something special. “We are the only distillery, according to the PLCB (Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board) in the United States that makes our shine start to finish by hand, legally,” Black explained. And he would know. Black and his father make all of the moonshine themselves. “I even hand dip every single bottle back there in a crock pot with gold wax,” he added.
The process includes mashing, fermenting and distilling the corn. Then the liquid moves on to bulk tanks where Black adds all natural flavors like root beer, chocolate strawberry and peach. One batch of moonshine can take as much as 12 days to make.
Another thing that sets the Blackbird Distillery liquor apart from the rest is the ingredients. Black’s father insists that using barley instead of wheat improves the taste. And while many moonshiners use cane sugar to sweeten their liquor, the Black’s use honey. Black admitted the honey seems to bring out a better flavor.
“It’s a lot of work,” Black admitted. “My family and I are down here every single day. If we aren’t making moonshine, we are talking to customers and helping out.” But the Blacks aren’t slowing down one bit. In fact, to meet the growing demand for quality hand-made moonshine, they have plans to expand the business.
“Close to Pittsburgh, there’s a store down there that this lady is opening up and she wants to sell our moonshine,” Black said. Another business owner in the Pittsburgh near the strip, who only sells Pennsylvania distilled spirits, is in negotiations to start selling Blackbird liquor in his store.
All the success since the Blackbird’s opening has exceeded expectations. “We had no idea how busy this was going to be,” Black said. “We thought it was going to be a few people stopping here and there but it’s been absolutely outstanding.”
Not only are the locals flocking to the Blackbird, but the business is drawing tourist from all over the world. “We have people in here from Florida and mostly from Ohio and New York,” Black explained. “But we’ve had people from Amsterdam, Australia, England, people from all over the place.”

In April, hackers breached the Point of Sale (PoS) systems of iconic New York department stores Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor – which are both owned by Hudson’s Bay Company. This latest cyber-attack against a major retailer resulted in the potential compromise of millions of payment cards.
It has been reported that 125,000 cards from the loot have been released for sale on the dark web. The information confirmed by Hudson’s Bay Company provides enough detail to identify pathways the attacks may have taken.
Australia’s Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme requires any retailer with a turnover of more than $3 million holding customer data to report a successful cyber-attack and inform all affected individuals. The stakes are high – so there are a few things for Aussie retailers to keep in mind to help the prevention of similar attacks.
This was a network takeover
While the Hudson’s Bay hackers were ultimately aiming at the PoS systems, they likely needed to traverse the organisation’s network to get there. This means the attacks would have taken some level of control within the company’s network.
As seen in past PoS attacks, such as those on Target in 2013 and Home Depot in 2014, privileged accounts are the primary enablers of full network compromise. A privileged account is how administrators log into corporate resources such as servers, switches, databases and the applications they manage – and they are powerful. They can allow anyone who has possession of these credentials to control security systems, organisational resources and access sensitive data.
Attackers usually gain entry through phishing attacks, steal credentials from the endpoint and elevate privileges while moving laterally across the network towards a retailer’s PoS systems.
Once there, privileged credentials can be used to pull out the payment card data while avoiding detection and setting off any alarms.
The Hudson’s Bay hack provides a timely lesson to other retailers about best practices in preventing PoS breaches.
Prevent network jumping
If we consider the patterns of previous breaches, it’s likely the attackers jumped from an employee endpoint to the PoS systems, highlighting a security gap. Secure retail networks need to be segmented from normal networks. Always. Failure to do so is failure of one of security’s most basic principles.
In the case of Hudson’s Bay, compromise of its privileged account provided attackers with network control and easy access to the PoS system.
Even with proper segmentation, attackers can exploit privileged accounts to build a bridge between the networks – but these types of attacks have typically been seen by nation-states targeting critical infrastructure or financial institutions.
What this means for you
The attacks on Saks and Lord & Taylor had to achieve incredibly deep reach into the Hudson’s Bay network to compromise all its PoS systems. Deep attacks like this often require the company to rebuild its network to remove the attacker and regain trust in the infrastructure – not a quick or easy exercise!
Simple security hygiene, like requiring multifactor authentication on all privileged accounts and network segmentation can prevent attackers from escalating across the network.
If privileged accounts are being used on vulnerable devices, the attack surface will continue to expand – allowing multiple possible locations for attackers to build a bridge and reach PoS systems. Automating the vaulting, protection and monitoring of these credentials is critical to containing these attacks and maintaining the safety of your PoS system, associated networks and your customers’ data.
According to the first quarterly report following the introduction of the NDB scheme, a total of 63 eligible data breaches were disclosed to the OAIC in the first six weeks of the scheme. In a sluggish local market, Australian retailers can’t afford to add themselves to this list.
CyberArk is a global institution in privileged access security, a critical layer of IT security to protect data, infrastructure and assets across the enterprise, in the cloud and throughout the DevOps pipeline. CyberArk delivers the industry’s most complete solution to reduce risk created by privileged credentials and secrets. For more information visit www.cyberark.com

A new study from Yale University appears to have found inconsistent results on artificial sweeteners and their effects on human metabolism. Some studies, for example, say artificial sweeteners increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes, while others have found that losing weight is not beneficial. But new research suggests that carbohydrates may have an important effect.
Study drawings (from: Yale University)
It is reported that artificial sweeteners such as sucralose are a widely used zero-calorie sugar substitute for many diabetics and people who try to lose weight. However, the controversy over these sweeteners has been going on for many years.
Although some of these concerns have strayed from science, conflicting messages have been disseminated to the public. Some studies, for example, say these sweeteners are beneficial, while others suggest metabolic risks.
According to a new study from Yale University, whether the sweeteners have a negative effect on metabolism may depend on whether they are consumed with carbohydrates.
The team found that the sucralose they consumed in their drinks did not have any adverse health effects.
But when consumed with carbohydrates, the same sweeteners have a ‘problematic’ effect on nerve response and metabolism.
For example, it may be harmless to inject sucralose sweeteners into pure tea or coffee drinks. But adding foods such as sugar-free desserts or yogurt sits at risk of health hazards.
But research senior author Dana Small points out that the most important thing is that people can eat and eat diet soda in small quantities and safely, but avoid mixing carbohydrates such as French fries.
This is especially important for diabetics who should not consume too much sugar. Details of the study have been published in the recently published journal Cell Metabolism.

Of course, the regulars of the discount giant will not be happy! It should be noted, however, that this measure mainly concerns Lidl stores in Lyon, at least for the time being. In fact, the leaders of the German brand have published a message that will undoubtedly make people cringe. we tell you everything.
A curious message addressed to customers
Lidl stores in Lyon cross currently a crisis. And the least we can say is that its consequences will not necessarily please everyone. Simply because some customers might very well change the shopping list.
As a reminder, the situation dates from a few days ago. The most loyal consumers of the brand may only have noticed. A sheet with a letter is published in all the group’s stores in the city of Lyon.
” We meet currently having difficulties supply in several of our products. Also, to satisfy all our customers, we ask that you limit your purchases.
What exactly happened? Could business be in decline? Is there a global shortage? None of this, because the situation is very easy to explain. In reality, these are simply the first shocks of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
To deal with this, Lidl invites its customers to limit their purchases to specific products. Note that this is still not a real shortage, but more of a “rationing” or a “cap” so to speak.
What products are affected?
At the moment, this limit does not refer to the whole food products sold by Lidl. These are mainly bottles of sunflower oil. To avoid a possible shortage, the management of the German company considered it appropriate to assign a purchase limit to its customers.
The medium Actu Lyon confirms that consumers they can only take 4 bottles of 0.75 l if they buy organic sunflower oil. And when it comes to a 1-liter bottle of sunflower oil as well as blends of various oils, including rapeseed, they can’t take more than 3 bottles.
Through a press release from Lidl, Actu Lyon clarifies, however, that this is not an obligation in the strict sense of the term. Rather it would be a recommendation, an invitation. A security measure that aims to limit the impacts of a shortage.
In fact, we must not forget that Russia and Ukraine between them are still responsible for about 75% of the world’s sunflower oil. In the long term, this war can only cause a shortage that will affect Lyon and all of France.
The worst is yet to come?
The war in Ukraine broke out at the end of February 2022. Since then, the media around the world have not stopped talking about it. If the price of fuel and energy shot up in the first weeks that followed, the real impacts on the food sector are pending.
For this reason, Lidl has taken the initiative to limit the phenomenon of overbuying. By doing so, the chain store helps to reduce panic as the products will be evenly distributed. Starts now. In April there is sure to be no shortage, the end-of-year races would be tough if the war continues…

Dell Inc.'s purchase of a storage provider for $1.13 billion marks another step in the personal computer industry's quest to expand into more profitable businesses.
As PC prices have plummeted in recent years, computer manufacturers such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard Co. are moving to meet emerging demand for technology services - hoping they'll find better profit margins there.
With the acquisition of 3Par Inc., which makes enterprise data storage equipment, Dell is boosting its ability to help companies manage information technology in new ways, through services generally referred to as "cloud computing."
Many companies no longer want to buy expensive server computers and pay to maintain them and keep software up to date. Instead, they are starting to pay to have the same software delivered over the Internet on a subscription basis. Storage for data and files is a key part of the cloud equation, and the 3Par products add to Dell's portfolio.
Dell is offering $18 per share for 3Par, an 87 percent premium over the company's Friday closing price of $9.65. Shares of 3Par surged to close Monday at $18, while Dell's stock slipped 5 cents to $11.96. The deal is expected to close this year.
Dell is the world's second-largest maker of personal computers, behind HP, and it has fallen behind its rival in establishing more profitable lines of business beyond PCs.
HP's revenue was $116 billion in the most recent fiscal year, which ended Oct. 31. That's more than twice Dell's revenue of $53 billion in its past fiscal year, which ran through Jan. 29.
PCs still made up more than half of Dell's revenue, compared with just under third at HP. Servers and storage made up 15 percent of Dell's revenue and 13 percent of HP's. But HP also operates a technology services and outsourcing division that accounts for about another third of its revenue, built on the 2008 acquisition of EDS for $13 billion.
Cloud computing helps cut technology costs by making more efficient use of server computer hardware. As companies need more or less storage space or computing power, the systems can automatically scale up or down behind the scenes.
Dell, which is based in Round Rock, Texas, is angling for a bigger slice of this new market, both as a provider of cloud services and as a technology vendor for companies that want to set up their own clouds. The 3Par products join those from several other storage acquisitions.
In July, Dell bought Ocarina for an undisclosed price and gained technology that helps compress data and remove duplicate information. In February, Dell acquired Exanet, a file storage software maker, for $12 million. In 2008, it bought data storage appliance maker EqualLogic for $1.4 billion.
The Fremont, Calif.-based 3Par make pricey systems designed to efficiently use available storage space through so-called "thin provisioning," which makes it easy to add capacity when needed. The company had an early lead in this technology, but competitors such as NetApp Inc., EMC Corp., IBM Corp. and HP are starting to catch up.

LAS VEGAS—Dunamis Clean Energy Partners (DCEP) a woman-owned MBE certified, full-service leader in the commercial and industrial cleaning, lighting, and electric vehicle charging industries recently participated in the 54th Consumer Electronics Show (CES). DCEP exhibited the Dumanis Charge, the first African-American owned electric vehicle charger as well as their suite of energy-efficient products.
“It is critically important for companies like Dunamis to be invited to attend events such as this and to have the opportunity to network, learn and showcase with other industry leaders, in part, because we’re positioned to bridge the benefits of sustainable technology to the underserved communities that are most impacted by greenhouse-gas emissions, lack of mobility and poverty,” says Dumanis Vice President of Energy Operations Kimathi Boothe.
DCEP was founded in 2012 by Natalie King, a University of Michigan and Wayne State Law School grad who was recently named the 2021 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year for Michigan and Northwest Ohio. King created the company with the goal of providing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions that will lead to energy savings and reduction in carbon emissions. DCEP has since grown to over 150 employees across four integrated verticals: Lighting, Charge, Environmental, and Horticulture, which collectively comprise a product and service suite that includes an assortment of LED lighting solutions, electric vehicle chargers, and energy management services. DCEP is not only the first African American woman-owned electric vehicle charging manufacturer in the country but boasts the honor of being an inaugural participant of Stellantis and National Business League’s National Black Supplier Development Program as well as a member of Apple’s Impact Accelerator, a new initiative for minority-owned businesses that are creating environmental solutions focused on climate change, resource conservation, and smarter chemistry.

Julie Sutton and her husband were looking to buy a new car a few years ago when they ran into an odd scheduling problem. She was a full-time graduate student. He worked Saturdays. That left one day for car shopping, but they couldn’t find a dealership that was open.
“I made a comment about it one day, and my dad just said, ‘Oh, it’s the blue laws,’” Sutton said.
Sutton, of North Richland Hills, sent a question to Curious Texas, wondering which “blue laws” are state mandated, who sets the rules pertaining to cars and alcohol sales, and why we still have these laws.
Curious Texas is an ongoing project from The Dallas Morning News that invites you to join in our reporting process. The idea is simple: You have questions, and our journalists are trained to track down answers.
Thinking about blue laws took Sutton back to her days as a University of Texas student, when she went to stay with a friend in Rockwall for the Cotton Bowl. She remembers stopping at a liquor store that straddled the county lines, that was “kind of famous” then, she said. A line was drawn down the middle, and customers could only pay for liquor on one side — the “wet” side.
“I wondered if these are still the blue laws being held over,” she said “It annoys me that I can't buy liquor on Sundays if I run out of champagne for mimosas. It feels like we legislate morality.”
What is a 'blue law'?
The Texas blue law, enacted in 1961 and repealed in 1985, prohibited the sale of 42 specific items on consecutive weekend days.
Among the 42 banned items were items like cars and liquor, but also items like knives, pots, pans and even washing machines.
The rise of department stores caused problems with the law, since the stores sold such a wide variety of items. The News reported then that some stores purposely defied the law in rebellion.
In those days, breaking a blue law carried a criminal penalty of no more than $100 for the first offense. Each separate sale of an item constituted its own fine.
Blue law history lesson
While regulated shopping on Sundays dates back to the 1860s, the blue law was enacted in 1961. The prohibitions were embraced by many religious groups for its purpose to “protect family values.”
The statute was passed after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down various Sunday closing laws as a violation of the separation of church and state.
In the mid-1980s, Texas groups like Texas for Blue Law Repeal Inc. banded together to fight for the abolition of the state law, The News reported. The members included retailers, retail firms, shopping center developers, furniture stores, grocers, small businesses and even city chambers of commerce.
In 1985 the Texas blue law was struck down, and shop owners made the Sunday event into a spectacle to draw in customers. Bands played and crowds formed outside department stores across Dallas, according to a report from The News' archives.
Which vestiges of the old blue law remain?
While car dealerships can be open only one day of a weekend, there aren’t any other regulations on what you can and can’t buy in stores on Sundays.
Liquor stores are still closed on Sundays, as well as New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. On normal Sundays, bars and restaurants can serve alcohol after noon, and grocery stores can sell beer and wine on Sunday afternoons as well.
The Sunday rule was created in 1935, when the Texas Liquor Control Act was passed in response to the repeal of Prohibition. Lawmakers added Christmas to the ban in 1967, and Thanksgiving and New Year’s in 1979.
Texas laws controlling the sale of alcohol actually date back to independence from Mexico and have remained largely unchanged since 1891, according to the state’s Alcohol and Beverage Commission. In other words, liquor laws are much older than any blue laws ever were.
In Texas, elections allow counties, cities or even judicial precincts to decide to legalize or prohibit the local sale of alcoholic beverages. They can also vote on where the alcohol can be consumed, what kinds of alcohol can be sold and whether it is legal to sell it in grocery stores, liquor stores, bars or restaurants.
Because localities are allowed the vote, sometimes cities (like Dallas) have mixed laws that vary across the city.
“That is done to ensure that folks have control over their area, regardless of what the area does,” said Chris Porter, a spokesman for the Alcohol and Beverage Commission. “The smaller you get, the more precedence your election results have.”
Immediately after Prohibition was lifted, the state Legislature made every county in Texas wet. Subsequently, counties had elections on their own to make themselves dry.
“That trend has since been reversed as cultural norms have changed,” Porter said. “About 15 years, ago there were 51 completely dry counties.”
How do local option elections shake out in Texas?
As of last November, 55 of Texas’ 254 counties were completely wet, and just six were completely dry. Most areas are mixed.
According to data obtained from commission, Combine and Ovilla were the only completely dry municipalities in Dallas County.
Completely wet municipalities in the county include Balch Springs, Cockrell Hill, Desoto, Duncanville, Highland Park, Hutchins, Irving, Lancaster, Sunnyvale, University Park and Wilmer.
However, there are caveats to the rule. In some cities and towns, the rules allows for the sale of beer, wine or mixed drinks for on-premise consumption exclusively (think restaurants and bars). In others, the sale of beer, wine, distilled spirits and mixed beverages for off-premise consumption is allowed. It’s because each locality can vote on its own specific rules surrounding liquor that certain areas can have funky divisions (like what Julie Sutton saw in Rockwall).
The last city in Dallas County to vote on the topic was Sunnyvale, which voted May 5 to pass a law allowing mixed beverages to be served at restaurants with a full bar. Sachse voted last November to allow all alcoholic beverages to be sold for off-premise consumption.
“Ultimately, it’s up to local consumers how they want alcohol sold by their communities,” Porter said.
What do you wonder about the culture, people and institutions of North Texas — and the rest of our great state? Help us investigate stories that matter to you.
No question is too big or too small. Let's get started!

Tile may be reaching record sales, but the company has struggled to accept Apple’s “anti-competitive” entry into the world of item tracking. That’s why Tile is now selling its Bluetooth tracking business to Life360, a family location tracking app, in a $205 million deal.
The acquisition marks a turning point for Tile, which may now pivot to the world of “family” or “safety” tracking products. In a blog post, Life360 says that it will combine the Tile and Life360 tracking services into a single app.
It’s an interesting move that should give Tile a leg up on Apple—sort of. Tile and Life360 are unlikely to reach dedicated Apple families, as Apple sells cheap AirTag trackers and offers free family tracking services to its customers.
But Tile and Life360 are platform agnostic. They work with both Android and iOS devices, so their services should appeal to families that own a mix of different phones. If an iPhone user wants to track their kid’s Android phone, for example, they may opt for Life360 simply because they can’t use Apple’s services. (I should point out that you can track family members on Android for free.)
When these Life360 customers decide to buy an item tracker, they’ll probably buy one from Tile, as Tile and Life360 (will eventually) share an app. Life360 also says it will bundle its service with Tile trackers, a move that could accelerate its growth and secure the market share that Apple is ignoring.
It seems that Tile won’t change very quickly, though. Tile will continue to operate as an independent brand and retain its employees. Still, there’s a good chance that Tile will try to integrate its tracking services with more third-party devices, especially products that are family-adjacent, such as cars.

Sudarshan Sukhani of s2analytics.com is of the view that one can buy Berger Paints, NBCC and UPL and can sell Torrent Power and IGL.
Sudarshan Sukhani of s2analytics.com told CNBC-TV18, "The idea is to avoid the indices today and index heavyweights and focus only on midcaps. Berger Paints is a buy which is now bottoming out."
"NBCC had a big decline and that decline has stemmed its top. First signs of a low are visible and we are buying on this large correction."
"A significant rally is coming in UPL. It is a positional buy and it is a buy for the day."
"Sell Torrent Power. All power companies are falling consistently. Something is wrong there fundamentally and the charts are only reflecting that.""IGL is a sell where a deep correction is in the offing and that correction seems to be continuing," he said.

SCI ranked among Canada's Fastest Growing Technology companies in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50
TORONTO, Sept. 29, 2008 - SCI is ranked among the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Canada, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five years. SCI Ltd. which recently changed its name from Strategic Connections Inc., attained this ranking by increasing revenues by 1,482% from 2003 to 2007.
For over a decade, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program has tracked the successful growth of Canadian-grown global leaders. Now Canada's pre-eminent technology award program, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 augments the broader Deloitte North American Technology Fast 500 initiative, with winners automatically eligible for this elite ranking.
Said Chris Cawston, President & CEO of SCI Ltd, "I attribute the Company's rapid and significant growth to SCI's unique retail process solutions for the automotive retail channel, as well as to the hard work, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit of SCI employees. There is little question that the provision of exceptional software solutions required exceptional people who were able to transform our vision into SaaS-based (Software-as-a-Service) solutions that could significantly improve automotive retail effectiveness. Being ranked among the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is recognition of the innovation, creativity and industry of SCI employees and we look forward to continuing along the path of significant growth in the years to come."
"Transforming technological innovation into business success is hard, and it's especially difficult to sustain such rapid revenue growth over five years," said John Ruffolo, National leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Industry Group, Deloitte. "SCI has rapidly built a highly successful company in the Canadian technology industry and we applaud their dedication and ability to transform their vision into reality."

In a fresh flashpoint involving India’s dairy corporations, Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday asked Union Home Minister Amit Shah to instruct the Gujarat-based dairy behemoth Amul to cease milk procurement activities in Tamil Nadu immediately.
In a letter to Mr Shah, Mr Stalin expressed concerns about the implications of milk collection by the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union, commonly known as Amul, in Tamil Nadu’s dairy producing regions which could affect Aavin, the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Milk Producers Federation.
The Tamil Nadu government recently discovered that Amul has been using its multi-state cooperative license to establish chilling centres and a processing plant in Krishnagiri district, according to Mr Stalin.
He added that Amul intends to procure milk via Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and Self Help Groups (SHGs) in Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupathur, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur districts in Tamil Nadu.
The Chief Minister stressed that it has been standard practise to allow cooperatives to prosper without encroaching on each other’s dairy producing areas.
Such cross-procurement contravenes the spirit of ‘Operation White Flood’ and could worsen the current milk shortage in the country, affecting consumers, he said, and pointed out that Amul’s actions infringe on the dairy producing area of Aavin.
“It has been a norm in India to let cooperatives thrive without infringing on each other’s milk-shed area. Such cross-procurement goes against the spirit of ‘Operation White Flood’ and will exacerbate problems for the consumers given the prevailing milk shortage scenario in the country. This act of Amul infringes on Aavin’s milk shed area which has been nurtured in true cooperative spirit over decades,” the Chief Minister wrote.
Mr Stalin voiced concerns that this move by Amul would foster unhealthy competition among cooperatives involved in procuring and marketing milk and dairy products.
“Regional cooperatives have been the cornerstone of dairy development in the states and they are better equipped to interact with and support producers, as well as to protect consumers from arbitrary price increases,” he wrote.
“Hence, I request your immediate intervention to direct Amul to cease milk procurement from the dairy producing area of Aavin in Tamil Nadu immediately,” Mr Stalin stated.
Mr Stalin clarified that until now, Amul only sold its products in Tamil Nadu through its outlets. He pointed out that Tamil Nadu, like other states with robust dairy cooperatives, has effectively maintained a three-tier dairy cooperative system since 1981 for the benefit of rural milk producers and consumers.
According to Mr Stalin, “Aavin, our apex cooperative marketing federation, oversees 9,673 Milk Producers Co-operative Societies in rural areas. They procure 35 LLPD of milk from about 450,000 members. This arrangement guarantees milk producers uniform and profitable prices throughout the year.”
Aavin also offers various resources such as cattle feed, fodder, mineral mixtures, and animal health care and breeding services to enhance and maintain milk production in Tamil Nadu. Moreover, it ensures the supply of high-quality milk and dairy products to consumers at some of the country’s lowest prices. Therefore, Aavin plays a crucial role in improving the livelihoods of rural milk producers and in meeting consumers’ nutritional needs, he wrote.
Last month, before the Karnataka elections, a political controversy had erupted when Amul announced its plans to enter the Bengaluru market with its milk and curd products.
The then opposition parties, Congress and JD-S, opposed the move, claiming that it would harm the interests of the local dairy farmers and the state-owned Nandini brand, which is run by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF).

Online real estate database Zillow has launched a free iOS app that lets users create and navigate 3D tours of Canadian homes.
To create these tours, the Zillow 3D Home app combines artificial intelligence (AI) and 360-degree panoramic photos. The app offers suggestions on which images to take and will use AI to stitch together the images, enhance their exposure and select thumbnails that best represent each room.
Zillow says 3D tours can be created in as little as 15 to 20 minutes. These tours can then be found in the ‘My 3D Home’ dashboard of the app. From here, tours can be edited, shared privately or added to a listing at no cost.
The 3D Home app was first tested in select U.S. markets in January 2018 before the recent wide rollout across Canada and the U.S. Thousands of 3D home tours were created during this testing period. In Canada, Zillow piloted the app with Century 21 Heritage Group and Century 21 Fusion.
According to Zillow’s 2018 Group Consumer Housing Trends Report, 45 percent of Gen Z and 41 percent of Millennial buyers find 3D tours or recorded video of a home “very or extremely important in helping them decide on their home.”
Zillow 3D Home can be downloaded on iOS here.
A Zillow spokesperson confirmed to MobileSyrup that the company will evaluate demand for an Android version of the app over time.

This October, the Threads student organization held their third annual Pink Power Fashion Show, with student designers and stylists showcasing a total of 42 looks inspired by the powerful individuals that have fought and are still fighting breast cancer. Over the past two years, the group has raised enough money to help 477 women afford mammographies through the Cone Health Women’s Hospital.
Students are responsible for all aspects of the show, from finding volunteer hair and makeup stylists to managing designers, working with representatives from Cone Health Women’s Hospital, recruiting models, developing promotions, and running the event. They receive support from faculty advisors Dr. Seoha Min and Dr. Trish Kemerly.
The show is just one of the many events and professional preparation activities coordinated by the Threads group, which is lead by president Lindsay Sharpe ’18. The group was created for members to succeed in the apparel industry by allowing them to cultivate skills they’ll need, providing networking opportunities, and hosting social events.
In addition to their Pink Power show, Threads holds an annual fashion show each spring. Each year the group challenges student designers with a new theme. Next spring Threads will be celebrating their 13th annual spring fashion show. They also host an annual Retail Strategies Competition, where students prepare a paper and presentation based on a topic they’re given. Their work is reviewed by industry professionals, and the students whose work is ranked highest get to present their findings and are awarded scholarships. The group also holds a number of social events, such as movie nights and a Thanksgiving Potluck.
Threads hosts events including fashion shows and the Retail Strategies Competition to help their members cultivate direct skills they’ll need in their careers, but they also help with transferrable skills, too. When preparing for the fashion show, for example, students must meet deadlines for garment sketches and sewing progress. This helps members enhance their time management skills. During networking and social events, members are able to better their communication skills and make new connections, ranging from mentors and potential employers to peers and friends.
The Threads group has recently become available to students in all majors. For more information on Threads, please email them at email@example.com. You can learn more about the group at http://uncgthreads.weebly.com or through their pages on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Lumber mania is sweeping North America
Contrary to what the memes might have you think, the driver of the truck in the above picture is not a billionaire. | Peter Gercke/picture alliance/Getty ImagesA lumber frenzy has taken over homebuilding, Home Depot, and the internet.
For some people, the journey into America’s lumber crunch starts with the decision to build a new home, or at Home Depot, where the pandemic-driven home renovation craze has contributed to making basic materials pricey and hard to come by. For others, it starts with the memes. The price of lumber has soared over the past year, and it’s an incredibly hot commodity. The internet has taken notice.
“Not even one police escort,” on person on Twitter quipped alongside a photo of a truck stacked with lumber rolling down the highway. Another snapped a picture of a pile of boards in a building, remarking, “Wow, neighbors just casually flaunting their wealth in the hallway.”
Not even one police escort pic.twitter.com/WHy7LDTdEq— Brandon C. (@OffTheRunTrades) April 22, 2021
While the memes are a joke, the situation is real: Demand for lumber has exploded in recent months, and suppliers have struggled to keep up. Much of the industry has been on its heels since the Great Recession, and it slowed down production accordingly. Those sawmill closures and such aren’t easy to reverse, even if someone might have predicted things would pick up now.
Prices have, in turn, skyrocketed. For years, the price of 1,000 board feet of lumber has generally traded in the $200 to $400 range. It’s now well above $1,000. (One board foot is 12x12x1 inches, and the average new single-family home takes about 16,000 board feet of lumber to construct.) A new house that would have cost $10,000 in wood to get off the ground a couple of years ago now costs $40,000 worth of wood — assuming, that is, you can even get your hands on the lumber.
Most people in the sector expected that Covid-19 would induce an industry-wide slowdown, not an industry-wide boom. Many were caught flat-footed.
“Not only has it surprised me, it’s just surprised the whole industry, how quickly we came roaring back. Housing and construction, repair and remodel, that’s where so much money was pointed by American consumers that the sheer scale of demand was hard to fathom,” Stinson Dean, CEO of Deacon Lumber, a lumber trading company based in Missouri, told me.
In the middle of our call, he had to pause to make a sale. “I’m so sorry, everyone needs lumber, and I have it,” he said after putting me on hold. He explained it probably would have been cheaper for his client, in Texas, to buy the truckload of lumber he just sold them directly from a producer up in Canada, but that producer is sold out through May, and they needed the materials ASAP. “You can’t get anything prompt, and a lot of folks have just underestimated their inventory needs, so they need to lean on folks like me.”
The lumber frenzy is part of a string of unexpected and strange developments in the Covid-19 economy. Before there was the great run on wood of 2021, there was the great run on toilet paper of 2020. The same lockdown boredom and extra cash that inspired some people to get into day trading animated people to decide it was time to fix up their homes. Those who fled cities decided not only to buy existing homes but also to build new ones.
In recent days, I spoke with a dozen people across the lumber industry about the economics of the current craze and why lumber is so expensive and so hard to come by. Many were bemused that anyone was even interested. Panels and two-by-fours and studs are not usually the stuff of public intrigue.
“I honestly don’t know what to make of it,” said Chace Barber, a Canadian logger and truck driver who’s become a bit of a lumberjack TikTok star in recent months, of his newfound internet following. “I guess I’ve been trying to explain as much about logging as I can.” It wasn’t a given that the TikTok crowd would be particularly into his line of work, but the memeification of lumber has certainly helped — not to mention that the 32-year-old Barber is quite attractive. (Though he says he doesn’t get as many DMs as you’d think.)
Barber isn’t the only one who’s puzzled — at the cultural interest, and also the broader situation. Beyond a 2018 blip, the lumber industry hasn’t exactly been thriving lately. “Everybody’s hot and heavy about this business we’re in, and to us, it’s kind of funny, because this is a generational run,” said Chip Setzer, director of trading and growth at Mickey, a commodities trading platform. “I would venture to guess there’s nobody alive that has ever seen what we’re going through right now.”
Hate your house in the pandemic? You’re not alone.
Before we get further into the lumber industry crunch, it’s probably a good idea to explain how the flow of material usually goes: Someone cuts down a log in the forest, it gets put in a truck, and goes to a sawmill or panel mill to be processed into a finished product — a stic

Zhonpin has said that production has resumed at its meat processing facility in Deyang, Sichuan, following last month’s devastating earthquake.
The Chinese meat processor said that production at the plant was back up to 80% of its pre-earthquake levels. The company added that it expects normal production to resume by the end of the month.
While production at Deyang was suspended Zhongpin met supply obligations through its production facility in Zhumadian, Henan.
The company said in a statement that the earthquake resulted in considerable damage to workshops and equipment. There was no loss of life at the plant.
The group said that it was still on-track to meet full year targets.

The Tesla CEO mentioned on the corporate’s Wednesday earnings name that constructing Tesla’s next-generation EV, set to enter manufacturing in 2025, would require Tesla staff to stay and sleep on the manufacturing line on the firm’s Texas manufacturing unit.
“We actually want the engineers to be residing on the road. This isn’t kind of an off-the-shelf ‘it-just-works’ sort of factor,” Musk advised traders.
“That might be a difficult manufacturing ramp,” Musk mentioned. “We’ll be sleeping on the road, virtually. Not virtually, we might be.”
It would not be the primary time Tesla staff have reportedly needed to sleep on manufacturing strains to fulfill the corporate’s manufacturing deadlines.

However BYD doesn’t but promote its vehicles within the U.S.

A new Novanta restaurant on University Avenue will be a "cut and paste" of the Neapolitan pizza restaurant Nick Mattioli opened on the Far West Side in June 2013.
The new restaurant, 2903 University Avenue, has the same developer and the same footprint. "We like what we have going on there," Mattioli said about his original location at 8452 Old Sauk Road, near Junction Road.
The advantage of the new location is that Mattioli will be able to have two pizza ovens and two cash registers, which will ease traffic flow at busy times. The original Novanta has one oven and one register.
Mattioli can only put six to eight pizzas in the oven at a time, so having two will reduce wait times, when say, on a Friday night there's a line out the door and someone calls in an order for 10 pizzas. It's times like that when Mattioli said he is tempted to turn off the phones.
"I've just been super excited about being able to incorporate a more proficient pizza system with two ovens," he said.
The Old Sauk location has 38 seats inside and 12 on its patio in warmer months. The new location, expected to open in the fall, has the same number of seats inside and out.
It will be in Flad Development's "Quarry Shoppes & Apartments at Mid-Town," the site of the former Party Port liquor store.
Before opening Novanta, Mattioli was the head chef at Hilldale's Cafe Porta Alba. He initially partnered with Porta Alba owner, Vincenzo Pugliese, for Novanta, but bought him out after about three years. The two are still great friends who meet for coffee twice a week.
Mattioli is the son of Len Mattioli, better known as "Crazy TV Lenny" who ran American TV for years and has been selling electric bikes since 2013 on Odana Road.
The name Novanta means "90," and refers to the 90 seconds it takes a Neapolitan pizza to bake.
"We cook at 900 to 1,000 degrees in the oven. So once it's in there it really takes a minute and a half, two minutes," Mattioli said. "That's common with Neapolitan pizza. That's one of the trademarks of that style."
The menu, which will be identical in the new place, features 14 signature pizzas, with both tomato sauce and olive oil sauces, a fresh mozzarella bar with Novanta's homemade mozzarella, salads, pasta Bolognese and seven desserts.
Novanta is a counter-service restaurant that Mattioli said was successful from "the get go."
Mattioli, who lives in Verona, is excited to have a location that borders Shorewood Hills and is closer to Downtown.
"University Avenue gets a lot of traffic," he said. "It'd be nice to get our name out there. It's a nice, classic Madison place and we're a Madison-born company. So we take a lot of pride in serving Madison and the Middleton community."

If you saw Lady Gaga on “American Idol” last night, chances are you were either WTF-ing at her outfit, or you were really fascinated by it.
Either way, I thought you’d like to know that all that embroidered-Chantilly-lace-and-silk-organza-cape wonderfulness was the work of Armani–and her third such outfit by the design label. Armani also dressed Lady Gaga for the Grammy Awards and this week’s Met Gala.
Giorgio Armani took some time to comment on the performance outfit and the inspiration behind it.
“To complement the spirit of Lady Gaga herself, I have let my imagination run free, and the outfit I have created for her for American Idol is pure fantasy,” he said.

In more PETA news, Benetton seems to be the latest clothing company being scrutinized by the animal-loving organization.
Apparently, PETA has learned that Benetton will most likely include real fur in its fall/winter 2009 line.
This, they say, “despite knowing that animals on fur farms spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages, often with exposed bones, wounds, and eye infections.”
“While the company has committed to becoming fur-free as of 2010, animals shouldn’t have to endure even one more season of abuse,” PETA continues on their web site.

Blackberry enables enterprises to manage Android, iOS devices
In the wake of recent rumours about Blackberry’s Messenger (BBM) coming to Android and iOS platforms, the company has announced a new feature called “Secure Work Space” with which companies (including small and large scale organization) and even individuals can manage their multiple Apple and Android devices. This service is best suited in the corporate sector scenario which requires clients to handle devices running on multiple platforms.
The Blackberry Secure Work Space works on the recently released Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) 10, which provides for easy control of various mobile devices. A Reuters report states about Blackberry having successfully set-up 18,000 BES 10 servers since the time of the server’s launch in January 2013.
Blackberry’s new feature, if implemented, would lead to a more secure approach in a corporate environment. The organization can now effectively monitor separately the employees emails, contacts, calendar, online scheduler, word editors, and even the Internet usage as well.
Currently, BES 10 is being used by a whopping 60 percent of Fortune 500 accredited companies in the United States, we can expect the Indian clients of these Fortune 500s to switch over to BES 10 and Blackberry’s new Secure Work Space feature.
Blackberry, as of late is trying to win back that significant market share which the company once owned not so long ago. The company recently introduced various smartphones such as the Z10, the Q10, along with a new operating system, the Blackberry 10.
