Goodyear has agreed to recall more than 173,000 intended for commercial delivery vehicles and RVs nearly two decades after the last one was manufactured. The company’s G159 tires have been under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) since December of 2017 and the recall comes in the wake of years of lawsuits alleging the rubber contributed to a series of fatal accidents dating back to 1998.
Despite no new claims having launched in years, court orders and settlement agreements delayed an order to make corporate data pertaining to the tire-buying public for five full years. The NHTSA didn’t even launch a formal investigation until late in 2017, followed by the recent announcement that the agency has pushed Goodyear into a recall for a tire that ended production during the Bush administration.
Manufactured between 1996 to 2003, the tires were eventually supplanted by the G159A after criticisms began to turn into lawsuits. According to the Associated Press, some of the initial lawsuits alleged that the tires were designed specifically for delivery trucks and were never intended for use by recreational vehicles traveling long distances at sustained highway speeds. Though the real issue seems to be that Goodyear was repeatedly accused of intentionally trying to obfuscate the matter while hiding any internal data that would support those claims via settlement agreements.
It wasn’t clear how many potential fatalities the G159 tires were involved in until after the NHTSA launched its investigation. By 2018, the number was estimated to be 95.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., based in Akron, Ohio, denied that the tires have a safety defect and said Tuesday that few, if any, are still on the road. The company said it’s doing the recall to address risks that happen when the tires are underinflated or overloaded on motorhomes.
“This tire hasn’t been made since 2003, it consistently met Goodyear’s demanding safety standards, and we have not received an injury claim related to the tire’s use on a Class A motorhome in more than 14 years,” Goodyear said in a prepared statement.
Documents show that the government safety agency sent Goodyear a letter requesting a recall of the 22.5-inch diameter tires on Feb. 22 of this year, and the company declined the request on March 8. But Goodyear later agreed to the recall “to address concerns that some of these tires may still be in the marketplace or in use.”
NHTSA must hold a public hearing and then go to court to force a company to do a recall.
Considering how few are probably left on the road, Goodyear has opted to replace G159 tires with a newer model at no cost to RV owners. Those using the tire on other vehicles will be allowed to exchange them for $500 (which wouldn’t quite cover the cost of the newer G159A).
But it’s unlikely to get a lot of takers as anybody who is keeping a set of 19-year-old tires on their vehicle has probably been killed already. Joking aside, rolling around on a set of rubber that’s old enough to drink in some countries is a terrible idea and it’s doubtful there will be many people taking advantage of this particular recall. Goodyear even noted that the RV companies that used the G159 as factory rubber aren’t even in business anymore — making it difficult for it to acquire the relevant registration data as a way of contacting impacted owners. It also added that they would have been the ones responsible for communicating to customers what the appropriate load limits should be.
Meanwhile, the NHTSA is making itself look busy by issuing statements to the public to check if their RV or delivery vehicle uses G159 tires sized for a 22.5-inch rim. It said it believes the units yield a comparatively high failure rate vs similar tires — though just about every tire their age probably would at this point.
“If their vehicle has these tires, they should have this recall completed as soon as possible,” the NHTSA stated.
I’m not sure what the big takeaway for this one is beyond widespread embarrassment. Assuming the tires were bad news from the start, Goodyear does seem to have gone well out of its way to hide any data that would back up assertions the G159 was dangerous. Meanwhile, the government seemed to be largely incapable or disinterested in taking the regulatory actions necessary to get them off the road in a timely fashion. Again, the NHTSA’s formal investigation didn’t really pick up steam until 2018 and only just managed to result in a comprehensive recall for a bunch of tires that aren’t even in use anymore.

Nintendo 'Joycon-Drift' provokes EU complaint
Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
The glitch has been dubbed "Joycon-drift".
It causes characters to move without the controller being touched and has occurred in Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, and Slovenia, a BEUC statement said.
Around 25,000 players have reported being bothered by the problem, it added.
Que Choisir, which tests widely-used consumer products, said premature wear of electronic circuits and the lack of an effective seal were to blame for the problem.
"A worrisome quantity of debris and dust" was able to collect inside the joystick, it added.
"According to consumer testimonies, in 88 percent of cases, the game controllers broke within the first two years of use," the BEUC statement said.
It called for a pan-European investigation and urged that Nintendo "be obliged to urgently address the premature failures of its product".
Meanwhile, the defective controllers should be repaired free of charge and consumers should be informed about their limited lifespan, it added.
Nintendo has sold more than 68 million of the units worldwide, BEUC said.

Opening the gates to China
Want to crack the Chinese market? If Hauora Honey can, so can you.
Most exporters dream of expanding into the vast Chinese market – but achieving it can be difficult and costly.
Now, New Zealand Post is giving Kiwi exporters a lower-cost way to reach Chinese consumers – an online storefront for selling quality and authentic New Zealand products on Alibaba Group’s Tmall Global platform.
Kiwi brands working together
The Tmall Global store, called ‘Gift from New Zealand’ (Xinxilan), is an exciting opportunity for Kiwi companies to put themselves and their products in front of millions of potential buyers in China.
Hauora Honey is one of the quality brands available on New Zealand Post’s Tmall Global store. Hauora’s marketing director, Barbara Zhang, says the company is delighted with sales growth from the site since it opened in late-2014.
“The business is growing incrementally, both in income and quantity of sales. The customers are very happy – feedback so far has been very positive.
“In my experience, companies find it hard to get into the Chinese market through traditional trade, because the cost and risk associated can be high. NZ Post’s Tmall Global solution is a very fast and cost effective way of getting into China.”
It isn’t just the amazing taste of Kiwi honey that attracts the Chinese buyers. It’s the whole ‘New Zealand’ brand. Barbara says that companies listed on the site benefit from the New Zealand connection, which is popular in China.
“It’s good that New Zealand Post sells New Zealand brands, and the brands support each other – for example, people can buy honey and receive a small postcard from The Hobbit, as a free gift. It’s a win-win – each brand leverages off the other.”
There’s also a growing trend for customers to purchase products across different brands selling on the New Zealand Post store.
Keeping it real
“Before we had the NZ Post solution, our distributors sold our honey with a Chinese and English label. With New Zealand Post, we now sell the same product sold here in New Zealand– this assures Chinese consumers that Hauora Honey is a genuine New Zealand brand.”
Daily orders made on Tmall Global are dispatched from New Zealand Post’s Auckland depot and reach the Chinese customer within 5-10 working days. Barbara says the goods are tracked and customers can easily check delivery progress through China Post’s EMS website.
To make life even easier, NZ Post’s digital agent – based in Shenzhen, Southern China – can handle all customer inquiries in Chinese.
You can focus on marketing
The Tmall Global web store means that companies can share web hosting and marketing costs and NZ Post’s support reduces much of the complexity of selling into China.
New Zealand Post’s Executive General Manager Ecommerce and Customer Solutions Sohail Choudhry said “They can focus more on strategy, marketing and customer relationships, and less on digital operations and logistics, by capitalising on NZ Post’s extensive networks and trusted relationships in China to get their products to consumers.”
Want to sell direct to Chinese customers? You can.

Although we live in an Internet age where 97 percent of Americans look online for local products and services, more than half of all small businesses in South Carolina don’t have their own website – and surprisingly, that is better than the national average.
To help these businesses tap into the web and reach more customers, Google, the S.C. Department of Commerce, S.C. Small Business Development Centers and others are partnering to offer free websites and web hosting for one year.
The program is called Get Your Business Online, and it is billed as an easy and fast way for South Carolina businesses to get a web presence.
For the next year, participating businesses can go to www.southcarolinagetonline.com to get a free website as well as free tools, training and resources. The service is provided by Intuit Websites and offers an easy-to-build website, a customized domain name and web-hosting for one year.
“The perception that getting online is complex, costly and time-consuming has prevented many South Carolina small businesses from taking the first step,” Scott Levitan, Google’s director of Small Business Engagement, said in a release. “This program makes it fast, easy and free.”
There are 250,000 single-person companies in South Carolina, according to Commerce’s Chuck Bundy. Another 95,000 companies have fewer than 50 employees.
“Many of those companies may indeed not have a website,” he said. “But they absolutely need one if they want to do more business.”
Commerce spokeswoman Amy Love said partnering with Google to get more businesses online is just one way the department is trying to reach out to small businesses and create jobs. Other methods include trying to match lenders with business through regional “speed-dating” seminars, providing one-on-one advice and counseling and connecting small businesses with larger businesses.
“We felt like this was a good opportunity to reach a lot of people and get the word out,” Love said.

The Indian sugar market is still focused on the remaining stocks from the 2017/18 and 2018/19 marketing years. The production surge of 34m tonnes each year contributed to the stock-building in the last two years. So far, almost half of the global sugar stocks are held in India, at 17m tonnes and have contributed to the decline of global prices on the New York Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) by 2% y-o-y.
Indian sugar prices traditionally trade at a premium to global prices, thus, limiting Indian exports level. The additional 11m tonnes in stocks (from 2016/17 to 2018/19) encouraged the Indian government to implement export subsidies, to reduce the oversupply situation. The export subsidies narrowed the gap between Indian and global prices but, given the high global availability of sugar as well as the slowing sugar consumption due to health concerns, India has not succeeded in meeting their target to export 5m tonnes (indicated by mills at 3.8m tonnes in September) for 2018/19.
Production in 2019/20 (started in October) is estimated to reduce the glut in the market as it is expected to decline to 29.3m tonnes (-14% y-o-y). Dry conditions during the first half of 2019 caused lower sugarcane yields in Maharashtra and Karnataka states. New export subsidies (around $150/tonne) to support the export of 6m tonnes in 2019/20 are likely to drive Indian sugar prices to competitive levels, but this would add downward pressure on global sugar prices in the next few months.

The nation's agriculture secretary announced an Asian trade mission Friday just days after new compacts were signed that are expected to significantly boost farm exports through the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told the Press-Telegram that California farmers are enjoying a record year in food, meat and dairy exports expected to help shatter the nation's agricultural trade surplus.
Vilsack and Commerce Secretary John Bryson are traveling to China and Vietnam in mid-November, two of the local ports' top trading partners, to push for more cooperation and increased agricultural trade between the nations.
"In the past six years, we've seen a 1,000-percent increase in ag trade with Vietnam alone, and China is the country's top trade partner, so any movement we can make is definitely going to benefit California farmers, farm equipment manufacturers and (Southern California) ports," Vilsack said. "This has the potential to create many jobs, and not only in California, but across the country."
Asia has become the fastest-growing market for California's top farm exports, which include tree nuts, vegetables, fruits and dairy products.
As the nation's largest agricultural producer, California's wines, poultry, beef and pork are also increasingly popular in emerging Pacific Rim countries.
Last week, President Barack Obama signed three free-trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia.
While the Panamanian and Colombian deals will have a minimal impact on local ports, the South Korea deal is estimated to boost exports by
$10 billion annually, including about $1.9 billion worth of food and beverage products.
South Korea is currently the Port of Long Beach's third-largest export partner and second-largest import partner.
In 2010, some 4 million metric tons of food was exported through Long Beach, much of it to Asia. A large amount of farming equipment, including tractors, plows and tillers, is also exported locally.
That figure should rise steadily in coming years, Vilsack said.
"Our job during the visit is to try and continue the growth of recent years and reach a multilateral agreement with a number of countries, including Vietnam, by lowering the barriers that currently exist," Vilsack said.
California farmers are expected to post record sales this year, beating the estimated $35 billion in revenue reported in 2010. Of those food and beverage products exported, about half is handled by the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
Vilsack said part of the trade mission will focus on creating what's known as the Trans-
Pacific Partnership. The plan calls for increased exports, lower tariffs and simplified trade barriers between the U.S. and Singapore, New Zealand, Vietnam, Australia, Chile, Brunei and Peru.
"Farmers this year are enjoying the best year they've had in 40 years when adjusted for inflation," Vilsack said.
Matt Herrick with the U.S. Department of Agriculture said it's expected American farmers will see $137 billion worth of exports and near-record income, and the country will see a record trade surplus of some $42 billion.
"Not many people see or hear about the strength of the ag economy, but it's booming," Herrick said.
The trade mission, recent agreements and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership are all measures related to President Obama's goal to double the value of all U.S. exports from from 2009 levels by 2014.

BARRIE – Increased demand coupled with an “average” year for production has forced Quebec maple syrup producers to tap into their strategic reserves to ensure no pancake is left without the sweet golden juice .
About 200 kilometers northeast of Montreal is the Laurieville plant and warehouse, where the province belongs. strategic reserve Maple syrup is stored.
This massive facility, spread over the size of five football fields, can hold 94,000 barrels of maple syrup, 205 liters each.
However, Quebec Maple Syrup Manufacturer Let’s say this year, about 50 million pounds of maple syrup will need to be taken out of those stockpiled barrels to meet the increased demand.
The Quebec Maple Syrup Manufacturers Association regulates the production and marketing of maple syrup in Quebec. It also sets wholesale prices and quotas on the province’s syrup producers.
Quebec Maple Syrup Producers spokeswoman Helen Normadin said 2021 was an “average year” for production.
by organization WebsiteThe 2021 harvest is estimated to be about 133 million pounds of maple syrup.
While that sounds like a lot, Normadin explained that it comes after two record years for maple syrup production. A total of 175 million pounds of maple syrup were produced in 2020 alone.
“Those years were just wonderful,” Normadin said. “It was perfect to have some maple syrup in stock in reserve, and this year we take some of it out because production was less good this spring.”
Normadin said it is “normal” to take syrup from the strategic reserve, adding that the reserve is “perfectly playing its role right now.”
She said that the syrup is extracted every year, and while 50 million pounds is a lot, there will still be 50 million pounds left in reserves.
“We certainly won’t miss maple syrup in 2021,” she said.
In 2020, Quebec was producing 73 percent of all maple syrup in the world. The rest of Canada produces about six percent of the world’s maple syrup, while the US produces about 21 percent.
Another cool thing about the strategic reserve, Normadin explained, is that it helps stabilize the price of maple syrup.
“We have a convention with buyers,” she explained, adding that prices are negotiated every three years.
“So it won’t change.”
Ultimately, Normadin said consumers didn’t have to worry about price hikes on the syrup.
According to Normadin, more taps were added at the end of the maple syrup season to help meet rising demand this past spring.
“We have 50 million taps across the province of Quebec,” Normadin said. “And we’ll have seven million more over the next years to ramp up production as demand continues to grow.”
Normadin said every year they decide whether more quotas should be issued based on the need for more syrup. This helps ensure consumers “never miss the maple syrup,” she said.

Apple is reportedly about to launch its own 2nm chip, which would usher in the future of mobile and computing processors.
The technology that Apple currently has for its chips (M2 and A15 Bionic processor) is called 5nm from TSMC. These types of chips have managed to increase the estimated processing speed, although it is no longer the most current technology, and Apple will update a little.
According to some reports, Apple will have 2nm chips in the medium term, precisely in 2025. This would mean a 10-15% speed increase in general processing. Although there is no official name, it seems that Apple is already preparing for the future.
Apple’s new 2nm chips
Nikkei Asia has confirmed the details of the event where the company TSMC made an important announcement. The company mentioned that after the success of its 5nm chips, are ready to launch this year the 3nmso that the user can start enjoying it the following year.
But, the most important news announced during this event was the confirmation of a new technology, who will be the future of chips and processors that Apple uses in its next devices. These are the 2nm chips which, according to official estimates, will arrive from 2025.
This is the first time TSMC has specifically set a schedule for its 2nm chip production. The chipmaking titan is currently gearing up to introduce 3nm chipmaking technology in the second half of this year. The main production site is in Tainan City, southern Taiwan. The smaller the number, the more advanced the chip, but it is also more difficult to fit more transistors on small chips.
This “roadmap” and official announcement from TSMC came just as Samsung would also have announced that it was working on 2nm chips by 2025 and Intel plans to revolutionize its own market.

Savic Motorcycles set out to become a successful electric mobility brand and decarbonise the light mobility industry with its high-performance C-Series electric motorcycles. By designing and assembling its award-winning electric motorcycles from the ground up in its West Melbourne workshop, the start-up is now breathing new life into the Australian automotive sector.
Savic Motorcycles Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Savic had long dreamed of building electric motorcycles. When Savic Motorcycles built its first-ever electric motorbike in 2015, batteries were scarce and expensive. But the start-up had the vision to know this would change. Savic’s electric motorcycles have evolved with battery technology. And Savic Motorcycles is leading the e-mobility wave for two-wheeled vehicles in Australia.
Capital injection fuels R&D
Despite a successful capital raise in 2020, the cash-hungry nature of electric vehicle R&D meant the start-up was soon facing a cash flow squeeze. It was too early to raise more capital, but Savic Motorcycles didn’t want its R&D to lose momentum either. So the company began investigating its options to access other sources of capital, including Radium Advances.
Savic Motorcycles Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Savic explains, “When we heard about Radium Capital’s R&D advance, it ticked all the right boxes for the next stage of our R&D.”
Radium Capital’s non-dilutionary loans enabled Savic Motorcycles to extend its runway and continue its R&D at a critical time. Now, Savic Motorcycles has 200 pre-orders for its C-Series and other light vehicles in the pipeline.

Two of the leading global competitors are now ruling the roost in the Indian mobile phone market. These are none other but Samsung and Micromax. The competition is trounced with these two brands directly competing with each other. According to recent research and market reports, Samsung still holds in excess of forty percent of the Indian smart phone and mobile phone market. However, Micromax comes in second place which is quite astonishing as it is still a young brand. It is steadily closing in on twenty five percent of the Indian mobile phone market. Experts see the Micromax brand steadily surpassing Samsung in the next four to five years. It is a stiff battle out there, one that has seen the dethroning of global counterparts like HTC, Blackberry, Nokia and LG.
This is another fall-out of this battle. Blackberry has been unable to innovate and the decreasing popularity of BBM or Blackberry Messenger has hastened its own doom in record time. Alongside, Blackberry could never provide smartphones at affordable prices and have thus remained niche boutique products for a restricted section of the market. Nokia sales have been slipping up for quite a while. It has recently been bought out by Microsoft and this may still have an impact in reviving the brand in times to come. In recent times, the Nokia Lumia series has still not raked in the desired sales figures in spite of a strong start.
This is where Micromax has steadily carved its own niche in the market along with other home grown companies like Lava, Karbonn and Spice to name a few. Micromax has actually triggered a price war in the segment with its affordable range of smartphones including the Canvas series. Micromax has always provided smartphones with premium quality smartphones at a third of the price one would normally pay for a smartphone from a premium global brand.
This is something that is eating into Samsung’s profit range. However, Samsung is still on top due to its innovative range of feature phones and its high quality smartphones. People are still going for Samsung smartphones in spite of high prices. This is because of the premium security, reliability and quality that the brand represents. Micromax is closing the gap steadily and is already wooing customers the world over with its line of new innovations and brand promotional activities. Who will win this battle for monopoly in the Indian market? Only time will tell as far as overall results are concerned.
Do you want to buy top of the line phones from Samsung or Micromax? You should visit online classifieds portals for a glimpse of the same. These portals will give you loads of options for purchasing used cell phones in Delhi or any other Indian city. You will find advertisements for selling premium smart phones and feature phones at unbeatable prices.
All you need to do is visit online mobile phone classifieds to contact sellers directly and purchase your dream smartphone without any hassles or troubles involved.

A huge new 'gigafactory' to make electric car batteries is set to be built in Coventry.
The proposals for the 4.5 million sq ft airport site, which is backed by local councils, is aiming to make sure the West Midlands is at the heart of the nation's automotive industry and will protect tens of thousands of jobs.
The news comes just a day after Jaguar Land Rover announced it was moving to an electric future amid a long-term government clamp down on new petrol and diesel engines.
Coventry City Council and Coventry Airport have created a partnership to develop proposals for the factory at the airport and will seek planning permission this year.
The aim is to attract a car battery supplier to the site with the factory in production by 2025.
The factory is seen as key to the future of manufacturing across the West Midlands with carmakers moving their own facilities close to car battery factories.

The batteries used to power these vehicles represent around 40 per cent of a cars' value and are bulky and difficult to transport.
West Midlands Combined Authority is backing the Coventry plan and Mayor Andy Street is in talks with the Government about securing a share of £500 million to help make the project a reality.
He said: "This is about saying to potential partners, of whom there are a number, we are preparing the site.
"We are going to minimise the amount of delay before you can get a spade in the ground by getting on with the planning arrangements.
"Planning could take two years to do so it's wise to get started now.
"Although it's happening in Coventry, this has the support of the combined authority including councils such as those in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country.
"It's seen very much as a regional facility
"There are 46,000 jobs in the automotive supply chain in the West Midlands and many more in the tiers below that such as in the metal industry."
Proposals will now be developed and a planning application submitted later this year alongside discussions with battery suppliers and automotive manufacturers to secure investment.
It is not yet known at this stage what the proposals mean for Coventry Airport but images released to the media suggest the factory would be built on its runway.
Coventry Airport does not currently offer regular passenger services and is used mainly by private planes.
There are no immediate plans to close the business.
Coventry City Council leader Coun George Duggins added: "Coventry has emerged as a world leader in battery technology.
"The city is home to the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre, world-leading research institutions and the UK's largest car maker Jaguar Land Rover.
"Coventry Airport sits at the heart of this powerful automotive research cluster and is the obvious location for a UK gigafactory. It will immediately plug in to a mature automotive supply chain and skills ecosystem.
"Our partnership is unique in the UK and creates a strong platform to attract investment and deliver more than 4,000 new jobs, support our automotive sector and secure our competitive advantage."
Andrew Bell, chief executive of Regional & City Airports which owns and manages the airport, said: "Coventry City Council and the West Midlands Combined Authority have together identified Coventry Airport as the preferred site for a gigafactory.
"Coventry Airport has been working to deliver the best possible outcome for the region and is ready to back the West Midlands through a joint venture with Coventry City Council.
"We recognise what a significant opportunity this is and are backing the project with investment alongside our public sector partners. This is a ground-breaking initiative and we are excited to be a part of it."

PUBG launches a new website to fix the bugs in the game
PUBG creators have admitted that the game has some bugs and launched a new website to fix them. Here is all you need to know about the game.
PUBG's creators have heard the voices of players and finally launched a new website which is meant to fix the game. Developers from the popular battle royale game have launched a website called FIX PUBG as a part of the new campaign. This created to address the game's bugs and make it more stable.
"Our dev team is gearing up for battle. Our mission: Destroy bugs, deliver long-needed quality-of-life features, and take PUBG to the next level by shipping fundamental performance improvements."
According to the site, the "FIX PUBG" campaign will run for the next three months, until October. Play will exactly be able to see what updates and fixes are in store, and what is completed.
"We're dedicating the vast majority of our resources to addressing your issues with the game and implementing your suggested improvements," states the team, who intend to update the roadmap as they check things off.
The website is basically built around a roadmap which will show exactly what areas of improvement the development team is looking at. With this players will be able to expect something to get better.
So far, the development team has achieved some important improvements, which includes optimised data loading. The average time to load data for a level has decreased from 14.4 seconds to 5.6 seconds which is actually a time saver for players.
There are players who complain about the start time of the same, the journey from the database to the battle ground or you can say the so-called safe zone took a lot of time. Developers need to have a look at that timing too.
We can expect that the game developers will come up with some more exciting developments in the game just like the one they did with the collaboration of Mission Impossible Fallout. This new partnership will include new PUBG Mobile skins, parachutes, and different in-game music.
The update for PUBG Mobile Mission: Impossible - Fallout is up for download on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store. The update comes with a download size of 19MB on Android devices and 19.78 on iOS. Once you are done with the update, you need to reboot your smartphone to see the new changes made to the game.

Indian e-commerce giant Flipkart has established its own data centers in Mumbai and Chennai to handle the increasing Internet traffic and sales orders that its e-commerce platform of more than 100 million users is seeing, according to a report on Business Standard.
To underscore the scope of of its business, the company’s “Big Billion Day” sale that kicked off over the weekend reportedly garnered 2.25 million orders in the first 12 hours of the week-long event. The move to its own data centers was made just a month ago in anticipation of the annual sales-boosting event.
Unleash the power
“We have unleashed quite a bit of computing power for our system to scale up and that has been one big initiative that concluded just a month ago. On the back of that, we have re-deployed our services and have done a fair bit of performance optimization,” said Ravi Garikipati, head of engineering at Flipkart.
Garikipati explained that Flipkart worked together with chip maker Intel, platform integrators, and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) vendors to build the hardware to the company’s specifications. Services were redeployed onto the new equipment and optimized.
It’s been speculated that Flipkart could eventually open its cloud services for use by third-parties, in the same way that Amazon Web Services (AWS) spun off from e-commerce juggernaut Amazon. Indeed, the firm’s logistic arm already handles orders from other e-commerce sites such as Jabong, Myntra and Voonik, noted the report.
With its hundreds of millions of Internet users, India is currently in the spotlight as a fast-growth market, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Andy Jassy publicly stating that India could become one the largest regions in AWS in the long term.
Already, cloud giants such AWS, Microsoft and SoftLayer have already launched more than one data center in India, while Google’s announcement of new data centers last week included the establishing of a new region in Mumbai.

Teens launch online company
By PHIL DEVITT
Fall River Spirit Editor
Two tech-savvy entrepreneurs are earning high praise for launching a website that connects and showcases city businesses on one easy-to-use network.
They're energetic, ambitious and hopeful about their burgeoning company's future in the competitive online world. And they only recently completed their freshman year of college.
In www.finditfr.com, the site they created during summer break, Jasiel Correia and Alec Mendes established what they envision will become a high-traffic, one-stop shop for businesses to promote themselves to eager consumers who live and work in Fall River.
"It's different from a search engine and it's different from a social network, but it combines the two in one," Correia, a 2009 Bishop Connolly High School graduate, said Aug. 23 at the Fall River Area Chamber of Commerce, where he and his partner unveiled the sleek website to a small crowd.
The cofounders say the premise is simple. A prospective consumer looking for a city restaurant, for example, logs onto the website, clicks on the appropriate category in the tool bar and arrives at a page that lists all restaurants that have chosen to advertise. Another click on a restaurant's name leads to a page specifically made for the eatery. That page includes a business summary, a company logo, hours of operation, contact information and an interactive Google map that pinpoints the establishment's exact location.
The site boasts an uncluttered design with organized links, a blue and white background and a prominently centered company logo — "findit" in black, lowercase letters next to a magnifying glass.
"We're always planning changes," Mendes said. "Months from now, the look may change again. We're always looking for ways to make the site faster, simpler, cleaner and easier to use."
Website users who become subscribers free of charge will receive e-mail updates featuring coupons and the latest business news. The site already has 6,300 subscribers, according to the partners.
"We're going to keep building until we have millions and millions of people, of course," Correia said with a smile.
The company also is seeking business advertisers. It had 10 as of press time, including two restaurants, two pharmacies, one automotive shop, one electronics shop, one catering company and two health and recreation organizations.
"A lot of businesses are hurting and ads are essential for those businesses to grow and succeed," Correia said as Mendes displayed the website's home page on an iPad. The website would provide a way for businesses to specifically target people looking for services in Fall River. A Google search for a restaurant or automotive shop might bring up results for the city, but would not necessarily filter out unwanted results from out of town, Correia said.
The company plans to partner with Bristol Community College's career center to fill internship and part-time work opportunities. Students would find and recruit businesses to advertise on the site and their pay would be the commission made from sales, Mendes said.
Correia and Mendes are in college themselves, about to start sophomore year at Providence College. Correia, a Political Science major from Fall River, met Mendes, a Business Management major from Seekonk, when they became roommates last year. They hatched the idea for finditfr.com in the last few months.
City leaders are supporting the teens in their endeavor.
"I really respect young entrepreneurs who take a little bit of risk, but at the same time, do something that they love," Fall River Area Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Robert Mellion said. "That's what this chamber is all about."
Mellion said it was refreshing to attend another "ribbon-cutting" event for a new business, something he recalls doing only three other times this year. He said he hopes to attend more if the economy picks up toward the end of the year.
The chamber leader said it takes confidence, a strong work ethic and aggressive marketing to make a business successful, and he sees all three in Correia and Mendes.
"You know that we'll have your back," Mellion told the website founders. "We'll do everything we can to make you successful."
Mayor Will Flanagan said he was "blown away" by the technology Correia and Mendes created.
"To see two college students make a commitment to Fall River shows that even though our youth go on to college, they don't forget where they come from."
City Councilor Ray Mitchell, recalling meeting Correia as a high school student a few years ago, said he felt pride. "We all should be proud," he said.
For now, all attention is on finditfr.com, but Correia and Mendes said they would consider expanding the service to other cities and towns if the model proves successful. The team said they envision the business "running itself" someday.
"This is just the beginning," Correia said. "We're really happy and proud to start this in Fall River. If we expand to other communities, we'll always say that it started in Fall River and I'll take pride in saying it."
More information, including contact details, is available on the website.

Sprague’s Maple Farms plan to take their operation to new levels
It isn’t difficult to discern the differences at Sprague’s Maple Farms in Portville, New York. The setting in the picturesque Allegheny Mountain Region notwithstanding, it’s also what owner-operators Antoinette and Randy Sprague have set up a transparent operation from tap to table with tours, sugaring demonstrations and year-round open trails in a 90-acre stand of woods surrounding their popular restaurant, Sprague’s Maple Farms Restaurant and Pancake House, where breakfast is served all day and many other down-home meals have 100 percent pure maple syrup in them as well.
“It’s unique to see it all in one place at this level,” Randy admitted. “We think we offer a high-quality restaurant experience, a real family experience, the ability to walk the trails to see what’s all there, the fall foliage, and the wagon rides for that. It’s a real destination location.”
As production wrapped up this past spring, the perfect weather had arrived at the perfect time, and a late surge in production reversed late-start fears in what may be the most weather-dependent crop in all of agriculture.
“The window is so short and the temperature, even a degree or two one way or another, can make all the difference,” Randy said. “Every season is so different. The production season hinges on those two or three weeks, and it can be good or bad.”
Fortunately for well-positioned and deeply-vested Sprague’s, good seasons are par for the course. The operation’s 30-plus years and 30,000 taps puts it in a league of its own, or at least in the upper 10 percent of the larger producers in New York.
“We try to position ourselves,” Randy explained. “A key to being successful is to be ready every season, even if you have to tap as early as January. You have to be ready for an early season so you’re not missing what Mother Nature dishes out. If you open early, and you’re not ready, half the season can be gone.”
He hasn’t missed much of anything since he took up sugaring as a hobby as a boy. He bought his first evaporator at age 16. He incorporated the business in 1983, and has continued to grow the operation since. The Spragues built their all-in-one 13,000-square-foot maple facility and restaurant in 2000 and opened there in 2001. As a hobby, the young Randy began with a dozen taps down his home’s driveway.
The restaurant is open seven days a week, and the Spragues put in 14-hour days. Prior to 2001, production was run out of a smaller sugarhouse a half-mile away at a smaller family farm, Sprague’s Turkey Farms, a free-range operation that they’re taking over this summer since Randy’s father has passed away. The business also owns 120 acres outside town, and farmland across from the restaurant, too.
Today, the Spragues own a third of their taps, and the other two-thirds are leased. In total, there’s some 1,000 acres of trees and taps, but they also buy sap by the gallon from other quality producers.
“It’s not critical what we own as long as we’re getting the volume of sap we’re looking for from our woods and those around us,” Randy said. “The equipment is really expensive, and it only runs a couple weeks a year, so when we can make product we push the equipment almost around the clock. Tankers haul sap from nine locations back to our evaporating facility.”
Mass maple production
The production side of Sprague’s maple business begins with reverse osmosis. Their equipment handles 4,000 gallons of sap per hour, which reduces 85 percent of the water from it. That batch is then fed into an evaporator that boils away another 600 gallons of concentrate an hour, producing 80 gallons of syrup per hour. Most days in season, the equipment is running 12 to 18 hours a day, shutting down only to clean it.
“A lot of people see us making syrup, but we spend as much time cleaning equipment,” Randy said. “The tanks are washed daily. The evaporator pans are washed two or three times a day to keep sugar buildup down and to prevent any syrup from getting scorched.”
Modern-day production rates are almost double the yield from the old sap bucket days. By the mid-1980s, reverse osmosis revolutionized large-scale production. Typically others in that era once lined up multiple evaporators in one smaller sugarhouse to handle 10,000 or more taps. Today, Sprague’s uses one 4- by 14-foot evaporator with its RO. It used to take four to five gallons of fuel oil per hour to make one gallon of syrup. Now, it takes a bit more than a quart of fuel oil to make a gallon of syrup.
In all, Sprague’s employs 100 people. The maple operation has eight full-time employees besides themselves. Antoinette’s son, Adam Robinson, heads food operations for the restaurant.
And Sprague’s is still looking for opportunity to grow, though it needs a good stand of maple to justify purchasing additional tubing, vacuum pumps, collection tanks, etc… not to mention resulting energy costs, and even having roads suitable for tankers. “Access is getting harder to find,” Randy said. “Or maybe we’ll just try to expand from locations we’re already at.”
Sprague’s has what Randy called a “five-or-less-year plan.” Randy’s comfortable with maple sales and restaurant patronage, though there’s room there, too, for more seating, and even a conference center to share the maple industry.
“Today four busloads of kids were here, and we’ll have two more weeks with that,” Randy said back in April. “We have our (two) maple weekends (in March). The way we laid out the facility allows us to educate the public as to what we do, the history and current-day technology. We can show them the process of making syrup, then they can go to the restaurant and order menu items that use syrup.”
The addition of a rustic sugarhouse and Indian village have enhanced the educational tours. With marked trails and bird feeders, visitors learn something about the ecology of the forest that they’re touring, too.
The transparency enhances the bottom line, if indirectly. Customers enjoy the experience and are quick to pass that experience along. There’s no charge for demonstrations, but the constant feedback—first-time participants saying they can’t wait to tell others what they’ve found—“brings new people in and keeps us going,” Randy explained.
Setting an example
The Spragues are first to concede that it takes planning and commitment, even soul searching, to commit to the level they have. “It’s an endeavor that doesn’t happen without the full-time experience of the owners,” Randy said. “An operation of this size is something no one takes lightly.”
But they’ve remained humble, too, knowing that maple is an industry showing every sign of expanding. Within the entire maple belt, they’re New England producers with 100,000 taps. With the value of maple products, it’s reasonable to get a return, Randy said, but following a couple big years, prices have begun to slip a bit on the bulk market. Sprague’s is also a distributor of sugaring equipment, which helps boost the bottom line and gauge how busy other operations are.
“Based on the requests for additional containers this year, we’re approaching one of our better years,” he said.
A good production year for Sprague’s nets 7,000 to 8,000 gallons of syrup, but there have been uncooperative weather seasons where less than 2,000 gallons of product have been realized. In years like that, even the restaurant would run short, so Randy supplements by purchasing reserves from maple bank warehouses in New Hampshire and often Canada. “In our good years, we try to have production that carries into next year, just in case,” he said.
No matter how successful the season, it’s an exhausting stretch, and Sprague’s is like every other producer: “Like everyone says, the two best days in the maple season are the first and the last,” Randy said. “We’re all optimistic, but some years we all get pounded. But we all come back for another year. It’s a lot of labor, so you have to enjoy putting that work into it.”

A new report shows that being overweight is not as harmful as is commonly believed, and actually confers some surprising health benefits.
Being five to ten pounds overweight could protect people from ailments ranging from tuberculosis to Alzheimer's disease, research indicates.
Those carrying 15 to 25 extra pounds are better able to recover from adverse conditions such as emphysema, pneumonia, and various injuries and infections, states the report.
Thirty to forty pounds of flab could help fend off breast, kidney, pancreatic, prostate, and colon cancer. And an extra fifty pounds on the scale may improve eyesight, reverse baldness, cure the common cold, and reduce global warming.
In general, the report concludes, overweight people are happier, more successful in business, smarter, and friendlier.
"This just goes to show that conventional wisdom is wrong," said a spokeswoman for the study group. "Not to mention the hundreds of studies that came before!"
The study was funded by a research grant from McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Domino's Pizza, Starbucks, Haagen Dazs, Sara Lee, and Krispy Kreme.

LIVINGSTON, NJ — All generations of Livingston residents, from local youth to grandparents, supported the Livingston High School athletic department and specifically its senior athletes at the 17th annual “Taste of Livingston” Lancers on Parade Fashion Show and Tricky Tray held on Tuesday at the high school.
The event is the Big “L” Club’s largest fundraiser of the year, where dozens of local vendors supply samples of their best dishes for guests to enjoy, gifts for them to bid on in the tricky tray and clothing for the senior athletes to model in the fashion show.
“This is a night that makes memories for our high school seniors that they will cherish forever as they get ready to embark on the new chapter of their lives after high school,” said Big L presidents Lisa Tamburri and Karen Mendez. “The support for our organization from local restaurants and local clothing stores and also individuals and businesses makes the whole night possible, and we had amazing support this year.”
Proceeds from the event go directly back to the athletic program as well as provide a gift that will benefit all Livingston athletes. Previous gifts have included the “Big ‘L’ Snack Shop,” the Lancers tunnel, a portable scoreboard, the mascot costumes and more.
“This is traditionally one of the biggest events of the year, not only for parents and community members, but for the student athletes,” said Livingston Athletic Director David Cohen. “Without [the Big L] events like tonight simply do not happen. As an athletic director sitting in meetings with athletic directors and members of other school throughout the county, we offer things here in Livingston that many other athletes from other schools don’t get to experience, and that’s a direct result of the members of the Big L Club.”
Cohen recognized members of the Big L and students involved in the new Student Big L Club who volunteered at the event.
Other highlights of the event included performances from the Livingston High School Jazz Band and the youth cheerleading squad, The Outlaws.
Following the drawing of the tricky tray winners, who won baskets that included giveaways from gift cards to VIP tickets to the New Jersey Devils 2018 opening night, valued at $2000, student announcers Ben Asher, Samantha Kahn, Maximilian Goott and Marissa Lipschutz introduced their peers as they modeled clothing from local vendors.
“For The Big L Club, this event is a perfect representation of who we are and what we are here for,” said Tamburri and Mendez. “Our organization raises to benefit the student athletes and that is what was on display, especially with the ‘wall of fame,’ where each athlete had a large action shot of themselves displayed and they took home as a gift.”
On behalf of the organization, Tamburri and Mendez thanked the sponsors of this year’s event, which are pictured in the photo album above.
The premier sponsors were UPS and Levine, Jacobs & Co. LLC.

Cornershops have paramount importance in operating as a gateway to communities, especially during the difficult time of the pandemic. The mitigation measures that were taken by the government to slow down COVID-19 are presumed to affect the daily operation of the retail shops. To study this effect and assess the financial data of retail businesses, L-IFT has launched a Corner-shop project in different countries including Uganda in Kiryandongo and Nakivale refugee camps. Participants in this project report their income, expenses, savings, and loans using Finbit App. In addition to these financial reports, they also respond to a small survey on COVID-19 using the App. This article focuses on income and expense data reports from 40 participants.
On the survey of COVID-19 questions, they were asked “How much has COVID-19 affected their income/work”. The result shows that the vast majority have reported having a little less work/income due to COVID-19.
This effect could be seen on the graph below where the average monthly income shows a decline after the lockdown started. By the end of August, the decline had almost been recuperated, but by the end of October, it declined again.
Comparing income and expense, their reported expenses seem to be below their income level (see the red line in the graph below). It shows that respondents on average have a positive income balance throughout the interview period. However, the positive balance was significantly higher before the COVID-19 pandemic started.
Overall, there is only a modest decline in income on average which is probably due to the fact that retail shops of essential goods were allowed to remain open during the lock-down. However, this does not reflect the challenges faced by cornershops in other areas such as price, supply, products that are hard to find…etc. which we would look into further in coming blogs.

As it becomes hip for designers to cater to the growing public demand for inclusivity of all sorts, many brands are creating gender-neutral clothing borne less of a genuine desire to upend traditional gender roles and more as a base profit play. Conversely, some major houses still haven’t gotten the message. Last week, Ed Razek, the chief marketing officer of Victoria’s Secret owner L Brands, told Vogue that he didn’t think the brand should have transsexuals in their massive annual Fashion Show, because the show is a “fantasy.” Backlash to his remarks came down swiftly, with transgender models and industry critics pointing out their insensitivity and antiquated approach in 2018.
The future of fashion will not strictly adhere to the gender binary. That much becomes obvious when we look at the most innovative brands and ascendant models working today. As designers shift their offerings to accommodate an audience that understands gender to be fluid, transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming models are rising up to take their rightful place on the runway. To celebrate their rise, we gathered five notable trans and androgynous models — Torraine Futurum, Leyna Bloom, Jullian Culas, Dominique Babineaux, and Asianna Scott — to discuss their approach to modeling, how they subvert gender norms through their style and work, and most importantly, how they serve face on set.

One in three physicians planned to buy the iPad Mini even when its existence was just a rumor, according to a poll of doctors by medical app developer Epocrates.
According to 90% of the respondents to the survey, the smaller size of the iPad Mini is the device's main attraction. The 50 physicians surveyed indicated the iPad Mini will be easier to tote around between exam rooms and on hospital rounds because it fits nicely into the pockets of their lab coats.
Lab coat pockets are 8.5 in. long and 7.5 in. wide. The iPad Mini is 7.87 in. long and 5.3 in. wide.
The use of tablets by physicians for professional purposes has almost doubled since 2011, reaching 62% this year, with the iPad as the dominant device. Half of tablet-using physicians have used their devices at the point of care, according to a study by market research and advisory firm Manhattan Research.
The original iPad offered a lighter, less expensive alternative to the purpose-built tablets that medical personnel had been using, according to IHS iSuppli, a market research firm. The first-generation iPad was popular with physicians even though it lacked a critical feature that they very much wanted -- a camera. The iPad 2 and later models included cameras, which medical staffers use in patient care -- photographing wounds in order to keep a visual record during treatment, for example.
A survey of 3,798 physicians conducted in May last year by QuantiaMD, a mobile and online community of 160,000 physicians, found that accessing electronic medical records (EMR) is No. 1 on the list of ways physicians would like to use mobile technology.
More than 80% of the physicians responding to QuantiaMD's survey indicated that they own a mobile device capable of downloading applications. That means the rate of adoption of smartphones and tablets among physicians is significantly higher than it is throughout the general U.S. population.
Apple products are the clear preference of physicians, according to QuantiaMD's survey. Here's a breakdown of the mobile devices purchased by physicians for their private practices: iPhone, 59%; iPad, 28%; Android smartphone, 21%; Android tablet, 3%; and Blackberry, 11%. Among tablet users, the iPad was virtually the only choice; only a fraction of physicians who use tablets said they had Android devices, according to the survey. Of the survey respondents who don't use mobile devices, 66% said that they're likely to select an Apple product when they do get one.
Dr. Mark Vadney, an anesthesiologist at Jefferson Anesthesia Services in Watertown, N.Y., participated in the Epocrates physician survey. Vadney said he has owned an iPad from "the very first day they came out." He is currently waiting to get a new iPad Mini when they're in stock in his area.
"My current iPad is full of medical apps for ultrasound regional anesthesia, anesthesiology textbooks, and medical calculators," Vadney said. "The new iPad Mini is exciting because it will take a bit of the heft away of the current iPad without changing any of the functionality I need."
Vadney said the iPad's resolution is "terrific" for ultrasound image evaluation. As a non-radiologist, he said the resolution is good enough for his needs.
In addition to Epocrates point-of-care medical applications, Vadney said he uses the Kindle's mobile app (which he uses to download anesthesiology textbooks), a pediatric care medical calculator that generates tables of recommended medication doses, and an anesthesiology ultrasound app.

Airlift of Aid to Earthquake Victims in Turkey
(Communicated by the Industry and Trade Ministry Spokesman)
Trade and Industry Minister Ran Cohen, following a request made by the Turkish Ambassador for aid for the victims of the earthquake in Turkey, contacted the major Israeli companies via the Manufacturers’ Association and the Chambers of Commerce, and asked them to contribute the necessary materials, including medicines, orthopaedic and medical equipment (X-ray machines, monitors), tents, blankets, food, baby food, and equipment for the evacuation of victims.
The Trade and Industry Minister asked companies and organizations to "lend a helping hand, and do their best in the effort to alleviate the suffering of those in need in Turkey."
The flow of incoming calls to the Trade and Industry Ministry by industrialists wanting to make contributions is growing daily, and three flights are leaving for Turkey daily, laden with products and equipment contributed by industrialists and importers. The equipment is transferred to the stricken areas according to need.
The following goods have been sent so far: thousands of dollars worth of medicines, 3,000 loaves of bread, 50,000 batteries, 9,000 towels, tens of thousands of bottles of water, baked and canned foodstuffs.

Last week, we released our newest report about the future of TV and argued in it and the accompanying blog post that the battle for the TV is not really about TV. It’s about the future of the platform giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft that want to add the TV to their platform ambitions. Surprising to some was our claim that Microsoft was in the lead in the US TV platform battle with its base of millions of Xbox 360 owners generating more online video views on the TV screen than viewers of any other device. Many have challenged this assertion, putting the data about current use aside and asking a good question:
Won’t Apple easily walk away with the TV business once it releases its next big thing, presumably a TV?
You’re in for a big surprise. Microsoft is winning one of the most important battles in the digital world: The battle for the TV. The TV battle is important for reasons you already know: TV consumes more time than anything else and it generates annual revenues from $140 to $160 billion each year in the US alone.
But the stakes of the battle have risen sharply. The fight over the TV is really a fight over the next massive consumer platform that is coming up for grabs. Of platforms there are few: Google owns search, Amazon owns digital retail, Facebook owns social, and Apple owns consumer devices. Microsoft owns, well, nothing at the moment, despite its handsome revenue stream from Windows and Office.
That could change soon. Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is already the most-watched net-connected TV device in the US and soon, the world. With more than 70 million consoles in households worldwide – as many as half of them connected to the Internet, depending on the country – Microsoft can rapidly drive new video services into tens of millions of households.

Infineon launches new development center for automotive electronics and artificial intelligence in Dresden
Infineon is setting up a new Development Center at its Dresden location. One focus of it will be to develop new products and solutions for automotive and power electronics, as well as artificial intelligence. It is scheduled to be launched in the course of the 2018 calendar year.
In Dresden, the Infineon Group already has one of its largest locations for developing wafer technologies and manufacturing processes, as well as a highly automated production plant. System integration is gaining in importance to enable complex interaction between semiconductors in more and more technically sophisticated cars. Modeling complex systems and developing highly integrated products will be one of the new Development Center’s core tasks in addition to chip design.
Microelectronics is responsible for around 90 percent of all innovations in the car. Semiconductors are a prerequisite for electromobility and autonomous driving, trends that are major growth drivers for Infineon. Algorithms, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things play a key part in the increasing networking of traffic systems. The new Development Center will also address those issues intensively. We will create synergies as a result of the direct links with our development and production location in Dresden. That will help us develop products faster and put them on the market sooner.—Dr. Reinhard Ploss, CEO of Infineon Technologies AG
Automotive is Infineon’s largest business area; semiconductors for the automotive industry generate 42% of the Group’s revenue. Infineon expects that the trend toward electrically driven, connected and increasingly autonomous cars will help boost its growth significantly in the coming years.

Nintendo has gone on record to dismiss rumours that highly anticipated adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will no longer appear on the GameCube.
Speaking to our sister site, Eurogamer, Nintendo UK's PR Manager said: "Nintendo has always said that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will appear on Nintendo GameCube and this is still very much the case."
When Nintendo issued a statement in August announcing that Twilight Princess had slipped to 2006, many anticipated a first-quarter release. But when the game didn't appear on Nintendo's Q1 release list announced late last week, rumours began to fly that the game would launch on the next-generation Revolution console.
One journalist questioned Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime on the subject at last week's Gamers summit. Fils-Aime, who said he was speaking on behalf of both Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and designer Shigeru Miyamoto, said that all parties concerned wanted to see Twilight Princess on the GameCube.
The game was originally due out in this Christmas, but a delay until 2006 was announced in August. Nintendo said the extra development time was needed "to add some incredible new elements" to the game.

A recent report on the Daily Background suggests that a Belkin employee has been paying consumers for reviews on Amazon.com.
The Daily Background noticed a listing on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk site looking for people to write 100 percent positive reviews for a Belkin router (which had been getting pretty crappy genuine reviews), give it 5/5 and mark other negative reviews as not helpful. The request was posted by a man named Mike Bayard, who also happens to be Business Development Rep at Belkin International and in charge of “Sales of Belkin products to major .com accounts such as Amazon.com." Oh dear.
Belkin released an official statement to the Daily Background saying it was an isolated incident and the company was very surprised ("great surprise and dismay") to hear an employee may have posted a number of ads on Mechanical Turk inviting users to post positive reviews of Belkin products in exchange for payment. President, Mark Reynoso, went on to say that Belkin does not participate in practices like that and has taken action removed any fake postings as well as all listings from Mechanical Turk. Amazon has also taken action to remove the postings.
Paying for reviews aside, The DB says it’s received an anonymous tip hinting Mr. Bayard might have multiple accounts on Amazon (including one under his own name) and be writing a few positive reviews of his own.
This is a story that’s getting a lot of attention from tech sites. When you’re reviewing a product, there’s nothing more annoying than someone suggesting you were paid off by the company’s PR team or the manufacturer. We’re also a little annoyed on behalf of Belkin. One look at the article listing on digg.com and you’ll see more than a few comments dissing the company itself, despite the fact that Belkin had no knowledge of the situation at all. Let’s hope Amazon and Belkin sort this mess out because paying for reviews is one of the dirtiest tricks in the book.
Check out The Daily Background for the full story.

Today, Accountable.US released the following statement in response to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s call to the State Assembly to institute a penalty on Big Oil companies for their historically high profits. The call to action is an effort to discourage Big Oil from price-gouging consumers after the country’s largest oil companies raked in over $343 billion in profit after the first three quarters of this year.
As expected, industry front groups have already come out in opposition to the proposed cap on profits and threatened to pass the cost on to already overburdened consumers who have served under the industry’s sustained price gouging for the better part of a year.
It's no surprise Big Oil and their front groups have already come out in opposition to Governor Newsom’s proposed plan to cap their historic profits. Big Oil executives want free range to ruthlessly price gouge consumers so they can inflate their profits and give billions of dollars to their already wealthy shareholders - all at the expense of hard-working consumers. If we ever hope to stop Big Oil’s blatant price gouging, our elected leaders must hold the industry accountable.”

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the central bank of India, has published a booklet containing sections on cryptocurrencies and the digital rupee. The central bank acknowledged that cryptocurrency has become popular in recent years and confirmed that it is exploring the demand for central bank digital currency.
The Reserve Bank of India says that cryptocurrency is popular and is exploring the digital rupee
The Central Bank of India issued a “Payment System Handbook” on Monday, which has a section on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). The Reserve Bank of India said that the document covers “the history of India’s payment and settlement system in the second decade of this century, from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2020.”
Part of the manual is:
In recent years, private digital currency (PDC)/virtual currency (VC)/encrypted currency (CC) have gained popularity. In India, regulators and governments have been skeptical of these currencies and worried about the risks involved.
However, the central bank confirmed:
Nonetheless, the Reserve Bank of India is exploring the need for a digital version of fiat currency and the possibility of how to operate the fiat currency if possible.
The RBI manual describes CBDC as “fiat currency and central bank liabilities in digital form denominated in sovereign currencies and appearing on the central bank’s balance sheet”. The central bank added: “Innovation is rapidly changing the payment space. This has caused central banks around the world to study whether they can use technology and issue fiat currencies in digital form.”
This is not the first time the Central Bank of India has mentioned the digital rupee. In December 2019, Shaktikanta Das, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, said: “The Reserve Bank will definitely consider this area seriously in due course.”
India still does not have a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The draft bill was submitted to the Ministry of Finance in early 2019, but the government has not yet proposed the bill. At the same time, the country’s Supreme Court lifted the central bank’s banking restrictions on the cryptocurrency industry in March last year. Recently, there have been reports that the Central Economic Intelligence Agency under the Ministry of Finance has proposed to impose an 18% Goods and Services Tax (GST) on Bitcoin transactions.
Do you think the digital rupee is good for the cryptocurrency industry? Let us know in the comments section below.

Now, previous reports have seemingly been confirmed as YouTube employee Eileen Rivera posted a screenshot of the redesigned marketplace to her Google+ page on Sunday, Droid-Life reported. The image, which has since been deleted, includes a Google Play logo with a bone and dog dish, suggesting that the company is “dogfooding” the redesign with its employees. In addition to a brighter layout and larger images, the new Google Play Store is rumored to have all applications auto-update by default and will also no longer include an application download/install screen. Google is expected to unveil the redesign at its I/O Developers Conference in May. The leaked image follows below.
