Sugar prices this Halloween are more than a little scary. Here’s the history that haunts the candy industry—and your grocery bill.
The nation’s sugar policy is an extension of laws dating back to the Great Depression. Under the current system, domestic sugar manufacturers are protected from foreign competition by a tariff and quota system that adds to the price of imported sugar.
The sugar program is not simply a tariff scheme. It is also a program of price guarantees for sugar producers, as well as domestic marketing allotments that prevent sugar processors from selling in excess of predetermined quantities.
The effect on sugar prices is substantial. Some might call it, ahem, “tariffying.”
Through the first nine months of the year, for example, the average world price for refined sugar was 16.5 cents per pound. The average price in the United States was more than twice as high—34.5 cents per pound.
A study from Iowa State University commissioned by the Sweetener Users Association found that the sugar program takes a bite out of Americans’ pocketbooks: “The removal of the sugar program would increase U.S. consumers’ welfare by $2.9 [billion] to $3.5 billion each year.”
The sugar program also hurts American companies that rely on sugar because of the artificially high prices. A 2006 report by the U.S. International Trade Administration found that confectioners such as Hershey Co. moved manufacturing plants out of the United States because of inflated sugar prices, resulting in the loss of American jobs.
Other companies such as Bobs Candies, a maker of candy canes, and Atkinson Candy Co., another U.S. confectioner, have been forced to send hundreds of jobs abroad to Mexico and Guatemala, respectively.
According to the International Trade Administration report: “For each one sugar growing and harvesting job saved through high U.S. sugar prices, nearly three confectionery manufacturing jobs are lost.”
As U.S. Sen. Danny Davis, D-Ill., observed: “Left unchanged, the current sugar program will continue to hurt American workers by driving good American manufacturing jobs to Canada, Mexico, and other foreign countries.”
This weekend, plenty of American kids once again will wish their parents would keep their hands off their Halloween candy. Parents should hope the government would do the same.

Nanotechnology has emerged as a key driver for transformation in the manufacturing industry. Generally referred to as the ‘sixth revolutionary technology’, it is already reaching advancements in various fields including, biotech, consumer electronics, clothing, and cosmetics.
The use of nanoparticles enables manufacturers to unlock enhanced or unique, physical, chemical, or biological properties, giving them the opportunity to produce superior products more economically.
From fully recyclable packets to targeted medicine with minimized side effects, the use cases for operating at nanoscale vary a lot. Car engines that send out cleaner exhaust fumes, several industrial sectors including healthcare, automotive, packaging, and food production are already making profits from nanotechnology. Taking the case of last year, the researchers were able to create a nanoparticle influenza vaccine, while others used a ‘hierarchically nanostructured gel’ to utilize solar energy to purify water at a record rate.
Introduction of improved mechanical properties within existing materials, nanomaterials will assist manufacturers in developing future products, take innovation to a new level, making products lighter, faster, cheaper and easier to manufacture. For instance, in aerospace, materials with better rigidity and lesser weight will be preferred over weaker and heavier structures.
Further developments in nanotechnology will allow manufacturers to enhance efficiency in a number of operations, from design, processing, and packaging, through to transportation of goods.
As climate change concerns are on the rise these days, it could help manufacturers cut down their environmental emissions by saving raw materials, energy, and water, while reducing greenhouse gases and hazardous wastes.
It will also put manufacturing firms at the front in the competition, along with providing a more sustainable future. Embracing nanotechnology manufacturing, the industry will continue to see huge developments in the technology itself which is currently in its infancy.
On the other hand, despite several use cases, there remains a lot to learn about the long-term impact of manipulating materials at nanoscale. The fact that it’s easily inhaled, raises concerns about the health effects of nanoparticles and nanofibres which insist upon tighter regulation over nanotechnology.
Meanwhile, lack of knowledge regarding the long-term environmental side effects of exposure to engineered nanomaterials means regulatory regimes currently in process are set to intensify around the globe.
The bacteriostatic silver nanoparticles used in socks to reduce foot odour can enter the wastewater stream when washed and could possibly destroy beneficial bacteria that are essential for our natural ecosystems, farms, and waste treatment processes. Benefitting from easier data retrieval and accuracy, businesses will be able to track regulatory compliance, while diversifying the manufacturing of goods inside the industry.
With nanotechnology continuously evolving, enterprise resource planning software (ERP) will be essential to ensure the traceability and quality control of products. By implementing a modern industry-specific ERP system within the base of the factory, businesses will be able to have control over all operations, taking care of consumer and workforce safety.

Simplilearn eyes $200 mn revenue; buys US company
The acquisition, said the company, will help it drive revenue growth to $200 million by FY24, of which 70 per cent is likely to come from global markets.
BENGALURU: Edtech company Simplilearn on Monday announced that it has acquired a US-based bootcamp education company, Fullstack Academy, for an all-cash transaction. The company, however, did not disclose the acquisition amount.
The acquisition, said the company, will help it drive revenue growth to $200 million by FY24, of which 70 per cent is likely to come from global markets. “Through Fullstack Academy’s wide-spread footprint in the US and its strong partnerships with top universities, we are confident that this collaboration will enable us to accelerate our global expansion plans,” said Krishna Kumar, founder-CEO, Simplilearn.
This will be the company’s second acquisition after Market Motive in 2015. Simplilearn said it has grown by over 60 per cent in the past year.
The company, which provides training for professional certification courses, last week raised $45 million in Series E funding round from a consortium led by GSV Ventures. Fullstack Academy has built strong partnerships with 20 university and industry partners, growing to over 7,000 alumni across the US.

Men are more forgiving than expected when it comes to infidelity, a new online survey has revealed.
The survey, conducted by the site Survive Her Affair, polled 1,500 men who had been cheated on and found that more than 71 percent of the men still said that they loved their wife after the affair, the Huffington Post reported.
The survey found that 92 percent of the betrayed men said that they either wanted to save their marriages, or they were unsure.

Tony Nethercutt points to a big white swatch of emptiness as his computer pulls up a page on the World Wide Web. Then he coyly tells his audience: "All that space is still available. It can still be yours. But there's a great land rush going on for advertising space on the Internet."
Across the table, two Clorox executives listen eagerly to the ad salesman's presentation. They are looking for new ways to promote their Armor All line of car cleansers. Online advertising is new territory for them, but Nethercutt beckons with a 50,000 opportunity to reach a targeted audience. His proposal: Put their message on the Web pages of Kelley Blue Book, the bible of used-car data.
After a moment's pause, Clorox marketing manager Cary Rosenzweig nods his head. "I'm very supportive," he says. "This is the right thing to do."
Just 18 months ago, much of Nethercutt's pitch would have been laughable. Now, online advertising is booming. First-half spending in the U.S. totaled 774 million, double the year-earlier pace, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Full-year 1998 outlays are expected to reach 2 billion, says Salomon Smith Barney. Online ad spending isn't just keeping pace with increased use of the Internet -- it is rising appreciably faster.
Still, whether online advertising can live up to its champions' hopes is unclear. Rates are steep enough that some marketers wonder whether they can get enough response to justify the cost. Most advertisers pay at least as much to reach an Internet audience -- typically 10 to 40 per 1,000 viewers -- as they would for TV or magazine ads.

Despite retail’s demise, new store construction continues across the US
Buying power per sf of retail space in NYC declined 7% since 2000: report
Consumers are turning away from brick and mortar shops in droves, but developers are continuing to build retail space across the United States.
In New York City, buying power per square foot of retail space declined 7 percent from 2000 through the first three months of 2017, Bloomberg reported, citing CoStar Group figures. CoStar looked at the changes in retail space and buying power in 16 major U.S. metro areas over the past 17 years. It found that, apart from San Diego, Seattle and San Francisco, new retail development in all the cities surveyed outpaced local demand.
Cleveland, where buying power per square foot of retail space declined by 26 percent, was the city with the biggest gap between retail development and demand. Memphis (decline of 24 percent) and Chicago (decline of 20 percent) took second and third place.
CoStar worked out buying power as a function of median income and population, according to Bloomberg.
While New York City’s decline of 7 percent was far more modest, the retail market in the city has struggled over the past 18 months.
At the Westfield Corp.’s shopping complex at the World Trade Center, around 20 percent of the space remains empty and unopened, according to calculations by The Real Deal. There have also been some big-name store closures. Last month, Ralph Lauren said it will close its flagship Polo Store On Fifth Avenue. [Bloomberg] — Miriam Hall

Warpaint London plc (LON:W7L), the specialist supplier of colour cosmetics and owner of the W7 and Technic brands, confirmed that it is continuing to closely monitor developments and make appropriate adjustments to its business following the outbreak and spread of Covid-19.
Whilst the Company is aware of disruption in the retail environment, particularly in Europe, caused by the restrictions in place, temporary shop clousures and changes in shopping behaviour, to date the impact on Group sales has been limited. However, the Company is closely monitoring the evolving impact of the current situation on demand on a country-by-country and retailer-by-retailer basis. Whilst the outbreak will inevitably have a negative impact on the business, given the uncertainty and rapidly evolving government and central bank response, it remains too early to determine the level of impact on the Company’s results for the current financial year.
To date there have been no material issues with the Company’s supply chain, Chinese suppliers are returning to normal levels of production and the Company is maintaining healthy levels of stock.
The Directors believe the Company’s business model remains robust, with sales globally underpinned by a strong balance sheet with net cash.
Warpaint London is also taking all necessary steps to protect its staff members. All those that can are working from home. For those that can’t, the Company is focused on taking appropriate steps to ensure the health and wellbeing of its workforce which in turn will hopefully allow for an uninterrupted service to customers.
The Company will provide a further update at the time of announcing its results for the year ended 31 December 2019, expected to be on 22 April 2020.

Earlier this year, it seemed like social media was completely taken over by videos of Travis Scott fans blasting Sicko Mode at the McDonald's drive-thru. His branded meal at McDonald's was a total sensation, leading to supply shortages at some restaurants and just generally huge buzz. But it turns out Travis gained a lot from the deal too: According to Forbes, the whole deal earned him about $20 million.
Travis spoke to Forbes a bit about how the deal came to be in a profile for their "30 under 30" issue. The chain apparently spotted him eating at McDonald's on his Instagram story and reached out to him about a potential partnership, wanting to boost sales amid the pandemic.
“Travis is a cultural icon,” vice president of U.S. marketing for McDonald’s Jennifer Healan told the publication.
They floated the idea of a branded meal, and Travis suggested one based on his actual order, one that he has been eating since he was a kid. This is the meal that actually made its way to the menu and became a social media sensation: a medium Sprite, a Quarter Pounder with bacon, and fries with barbecue sauce on the side.
The profile shows just how involved Travis was in making the partnership a success, doing everything from hand-drawing animations for the TV commercial advertising the meal and even writing parts of its script. Travis also proved his business smarts by negotiating the full rights to and developing a McDonald's-inspired merchandise line, which included our favorite McNugget-shaped body pillow.
And the rest we know was an instant success for Travis and McDonald's. Forbes estimated that Travis "earned at least $5 million from the traditional endorsement part of the deal and another $15 million from merchandise sales," totaling an estimated $20 million or more. McDonald's, for its part, went from an 8.7 percent drop in same-store sales in the second quarter to a 4.6 percent gain in the third quarter, which is when Travis's meal came into the picture.

Trump Threatens Higher Tariffs in Trade War Escalation
U.S. President Donald Trump struck back with a threat of more tariff increases hours after Beijing announced a plan to place new taxes on $75 billion of annual American imports, further escalating the trade war between the world’s two largest economies.
“Starting on October 1st, the 250 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, currently being taxed at 25%, will be taxed at 30%,” Trump wrote on Twitter after the market close.
In addition, a 10% tariff to be imposed on $300 billion of Chinese goods scheduled for Sept.1 will be increased to 15%, he wrote.
"China should not have put new Tariffs on 75 BILLION DOLLARS of United States product (politically motivated!)," Trump tweeted.
China said late Friday Beijing time it would impose additional 5% or 10% tariffs on American goods in two batches, in response to a Trump plan to charge 10% tariffs on almost $300 billion of Chinese shipments.
China’s new tariffs will affect 5,078 tariff lines including American soybeans, crude oil imports, automobiles and pork products. The first batch of tariffs will apply to 1,717 tariff lines starting next month and the second batch to 3,361 in December, according to a statement issued by China’s Ministry of Finance.
Trump lashed out with a slew of tweets following Beijing’s announcement, pledging to retaliate.
"Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA," Trump said in one tweet Friday morning.
Wall Street took a nosedive Friday on deepening trade war fears. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 623 points, or 2.37%, after falling as much as 700 points. The S&P 500 Index finished 2.6% lower, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 3%.
Friday’s moves marked a sudden escalation of tensions between China and the U.S. after months of tough negotiations. Top trade officials from the two countries completed the latest round of trade talks in Shanghai in early August without any progress. Trump threatened to apply 10% tariffs to $300 billion a year of Chinese goods starting Sept. 1, although the two sides agreed to continue talks next month in Washington.
Trump last week said he would delay part of the planned tariffs on certain consumer goods from China until mid-December.
“This decision shows that there are no winners in a trade war,” China’s Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Gao Feng said at a Thursday press briefing.
Any enforcement of new U.S. tariffs will further escalate tensions, and China will have to take countermeasures, Gao said Thursday. This will hurt U.S. customers and companies and even increase the chances of a global recession, he said.
China was the top trading partner of the U.S. between 2015 and 2018, but the deepening tariff war has taken a toll on relations in the first half of 2019 as bilateral exports and imports slumped.
China fell to third place in the U.S. trade table in the January-June period, with the total value of goods bought and sold between the two countries falling to $289.7 billion, behind $311.5 billion recorded with Mexico and $305.6 billion with Canada, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The U.S. exported $54.9 billion of goods to China in the first half of 2019, an 18.1% decline from the $67.1 billion reported for the same period last year. Meanwhile, imports from China fell 12.2% to $234.8 billion.

A South Carolina man is suing Apple because he says his iPhone exploded in his pocket two years ago, injuring him so badly that he was airlifted to a burn center in Georgia.
The explosion happened at a moment in the fall of 2016 when fears about lithium-ion batteries were cropping up nationwide.
Samsung smartphones began blowing up, and airlines banned them from being turned on in flight. Problems also creeped into iPhones and devices like them, which had been packed with increasingly powerful batteries that were starting to go awry.
Robert Portee, a Sumter man, says that’s what happened to him. He’d been charging his iPhone 6 and talking on the phone, put it in his pocket and walked through his son’s house when he felt “extreme heat” and heard his clothes crackling.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court in Columbia, he says he ripped off his clothes and went to the emergency room. Once physicians saw what had happened, they put him on a helicopter headed toward a burn center in Augusta.
His lawsuit, filed late last month, seeks unspecified damages from Apple and Asurion, the insurance company that provided him with the phone. He says he got it as a replacement after his old phone was cracked.
The lawsuit says Apple and Asurion should have known about the possibility of battery problems, and it says iPhones should alert users if they’re overheating and at risk of exploding. The case was brought by the law firms Motley Rice of Mount Pleasant and George Sink P.A. Injury Lawyers of North Charleston.
Apple declined to comment on the lawsuit. Asurion didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Charleston-based Blackbaud’s push toward a business model based on subscriptions is nearly complete.
The software company, which is headquartered on Daniel Island, has been trying to get away from selling its products through one-off licenses. Instead, it wants to sell them on a subscription basis, which locks in a steady flow of income, and it has been shifting its model for the past few years.
The company, which makes software for nonprofits, says subscriptions now account for 90 percent of its revenue — an all-time high.
The monthly payment model has helped boost Blackbaud’s bottom line, but the company’s stock has been hit this month after Wall Street was underwhelmed by its second-quarter results.

The Hello Kitty store at Universal Studios Florida has reopened. It was closed for refurbishment and a new floor has been added. The rumors have been that they will be removing the Hello Kitty merchandise at some point and shifting the area into other merchandise for sale. But that is just a rumor and we have the store reopened today!
Universal Parks News Today on Twitter has posted some images of the reopened area:

I’m hoping that the rumor is not true as I love Sanrio and Hello Kitty. I’ve heard conflicting reports with this one with a couple of sites reporting it will close and Attractions Magazine saying that it will not be closing. This is giving me a bit of hope.
There have been rumors the Hello Kitty Store at @UniversalORL is closing. Universal has told us this is not true. The store is receiving some maintenance, but will remain operational. Here’s a look at the store when it first opened six years ago. https://t.co/6FQHteTInK

For now it’s open and time will tell if it stays open long term or not.
What do you think? Comment and let us know!

Following the September 14 announcement of the new iPhone 13, Apple has phased out some of its older iPhone models.
Apple introduced the iPhone 13 with an updated iPad, a revised iPad mini, and a refresh to the Apple Watch. The latest iPhones include an A15 Bionic engine, a longer battery life, and a better camera intended for cinematic movies, among other improvements.
Preorders for the iPhone 13 will begin on September 17, and the gadget will be available for purchase on September 24. Despite the fact that Apple consumers now have numerous new phones to pick from, visitors to Apple’s online shop can no longer purchase certain models from the previous year.
After the iPhone 13 launch event, Apple withdrew the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPhone XR from its online shop. These devices join the iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus, all of which were phased out last year.
Although Apple no longer offers these older iPhones through its online shop, they may still be available from some phone carriers or third-party sellers.
iPhone versions that are currently on the market
The following iPhone models are now available for purchase or preorder on the Apple store:
iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPhone 13 Pro
iPhone 13 mini
iPhone 12 mini
The new iPhone 13 models range in price from $700 to $1,100, but there are more affordable alternatives if you buy iPhones from a previous generation.
The iPhone SE, for example, starts at $400, while the iPhone 11 starts at $500. Customers who buy an iPhone 11 from Best Buy with a new Verizon account or line activation may get the smartphone for $150 off.

Apple is planning to delay the launch of its anticipated 5G iPhone models by months, according to a new media report. The shift in plans could mainly due to the coronavirus outbreak that has impacted demand and supply operations of technology companies globally. Originally, the Cupertino company was speculated to retain its schedule of launching its new iPhone devices in September. JPMorgan analysts in a new note also mentioned that the launch of the 5G iPhone models could be pushed by one or two months.
Discussing the possibility of delaying the launch by months, Apple has held internal meetings, reports Nikkei Asian Review, citing people familiar with the development. One of the key reasons behind planning the delay is fall in demand in the smartphone market due to the coronavirus outbreak that has affected over hundreds of countries globally.
Additionally, Apple is facing supply chain constraints thanks to the closure of various manufacturing plants in China, India, and other markets to limit the spread of COVID-19, the disease is apparently caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Apple is said to have four different models of its new iPhone family that it was planning to launch later this year. It also reportedly directed its supply partners to develop up to 100 million units of its latest lineup for 2020. Similarly, a prototype for the new models was planned to be developed from early March. The coronavirus pandemic, however, has seemingly impacted Apple's original plans.
“Apple will make a final decision around May at the latest, given the fluid situation globally,” one of the sources told the business journal.
Suppliers have not yet been officially notified of the delay, the report said, adding that Apple is urging many of them to fill in the gap due to coronavirus-related issues.
In a recent interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook emphasised that the slowdown pushed through the pandemic was a “temporary condition, not a long-term kind of thing.” The company also recently reopened some of its retail stores in China to overcome the hurdles -- to some extent at least.
Having said that, Apple has reportedly instructed some component suppliers to defer their mass production plans for about two to three months.
JPMorgan analysts in their note also speculated the delay in the launch of 5G iPhone models. As reported by CNBC, the analysts noted that there could be rescheduling of one or two months for reasons including production issues due to travel restrictions and slower growth of 5G networks in global markets -- all due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Apple's retail stores outside China are closed in response to COVID-19. Similarly, many of the company's employees are working from home to avoid the spread of the deadly virus. All this could result in the delay.
“Given multiple bottlenecks in EVT (engineering verification test, now scheduled in mid-April) and PVT (Production verification test) and pilot production (now scheduled for late June) due to recent travel restrictions imposed globally, we believe that a 1-2 month delay in iPhone launch could indeed happen, but we do not believe that a one-to-two quarter delay is very likely,” wrote JPMorgan analyst Gokul Hariharan in the note targeting at Apple's chip manufacturer TSMC, as quoted by the news source.
Apple is already behind the competition if we look at the 5G models introduced by Samsung and Huawei. However, the arrival of its 5G iPhone models was projected to help the company boost its growth in the financial year 2021.
The 5G iPhone models would include two versions with 6GB of RAM. The lineup would also have a custom antenna design and the all-new Apple A14 chip.
In contrast with the latest revelations, a report by Bloomberg last week noted that the launch of the 5G iPhone models was “on schedule” despite the ongoing delays in production. That report also noted that “mass production isn't due to begin until May”.
Apple didn't comment on the launch schedule of its next-generation iPhone models.

BOSTON -- The second annual Foodfest Expo, a retail consumer-oriented event, was held here Oct. 2 and 3 at the Bayside Exposition Center. The show featured a mix of 120 exhibitors geared to sell to the "everyday cook," said show organizers.
Attendance fell short of the 20,000 anticipated, likely due to the unseasonably warm weather -- in the mid-70s with bright sunshine -- but still,13,000 to 14,000 entered the doors, according to Jackie Ralston, president of Foodfest, Cohasset, Mass.
Star Markets, Cambridge, Mass., and its Wild Harvest units were among the sponsors. Ralston said that while neither took booth space this year, both had promoted the event in their in-store circulars and with in-store ticket sales. Admission at the door was $10 for adults.
Some of the stores' food vendors were there, including Green Mountain Chocolates of Vermont, Waterbury, Vt., and Pastene, Canton, Mass., a regional brand of pastas, sauces and olive oils. Snapple and Coca-Cola were among the national players with a presence.
Green Mountain Chocolates was showing its Java Jitters in French Roast Coffee and Mochaccino Truffle, and put them into kiosks at three new units of Genuardi's Family Markets, Norristown, Pa., that opened Oct. 8, according to Jeff Mannion, sales and marketing director for the chocolates.

One of the most successful footballers of all time – Cristiano Ronaldo – will launch his first NFT collection this weekend. The digital collections will feature the Portuguese superstar and be launched exclusively on the Binance NFT Marketplace.
Binance said in a recent blog post:
“Since our initial announcement of the groundbreaking multi-year partnership between Binance and CR7, we’ve been working closely with Ronaldo to craft a first-of-its-kind experience, one that will change the NFT game forever.”
The world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange also teamed up with Ronaldo earlier this year to popularize NFT for football supporters.
The football icon has won 5 Ballon d’Or and played for European giants, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. He is the most followed soccer player on Instagram.
It is worth noting that Ronaldo’s biggest rival – Lionel Messi – has also dipped his toe into the crypto space. The Argentinian soccer player signed a $20 million deal with Socios in March, becoming the company’s Global Ambassador.
Messi also teamed up with crypto exchange Bitget to promote the company and showcase the benefits of Web3 to global consumers.
“I wanted to thank Bitget for their enthusiasm in making me participate in the world of crypto. I trust that both parties can activate meaningful initiatives as well as in offering Web3 to the sports fans.”

Blog: just-style seeks scooters
Petah Marian | 22 September 2011
We're half-way through our first day at the International Exhibition of Textile Machinery (ITMA) and while impressed by the scale of the exhibition, the just-style team are already crying out for foot massages, given the many miles (I think) we've walked around Fira Barcelona.
I was particularly impressed with one person I saw carrying what looked to be a child's scooter, a much speedier and far less painful way of getting about, I'd imagine.
Stephen Combes, the president of CEMATEX - the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers - said today that the organisers are expecting more than 100,000 people to visit the exhibition over the next few days, and that there are some 1,350 exhibitors taking up the eight halls here.
just-style has met some interesting folks so far, discussing sustainability through the supply chain with Huntsman Textile's Jay Naidu, functional fabrics with HeiQ's Kristofer Skantze, and we met Nick Hahn, the former CEO of Cotton Incorporated, who is launching a new alpaca venture.
Check back later for more about these, and the sustainability round table I'll be attending this afternoon. I'm at the show today and tomorrow, so, if you're here, please do get in touch if you'd like to meet (firstname.lastname@example.org).

US Intermodal Transport Congestion
Tens of thousands of container loads of cargo that would normally move on railroads are being hauled on American roads each month as companies look to get around continuing supply-chain bottle-necks. U.S. intermodal transports, in which railroads carry containers and truck trailers, were down nearly 12% in the first six weeks of this year from a year ago, according to the Association of American Railroads, after tumbling in the second half of last year even as retailers and manufacturers rushed to bring in goods.
Trucking and rail industry officials say demand to move freight 500 miles or more, which is often done by rail, remains strong, as companies restock depleted inventories. But shippers are more often than usual choosing highways over railroads because shortages of labor, equipment and warehouse space across supply chains can create unpredictable delays. Railroads “should be seizing the day and winning more business,” said Paul Svindland, chief executive of Bensenville, Ill.-based STG Logistics. Mr. Svindland’s firm has been placing more cargo than usual on trucks because he can’t find enough of the containers railroads need to most easily handle such shipments, he said.
Intermodal transport, which uses trucking for the final leg of delivery, is slower and more complicated than long-haul trucking. But it is also cheaper and less damaging to the environment. Lawrence Gross, president of Gross Transportation Consulting, said intermodal loads have lost a little over 1% of their market share to long-distance trucking since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Based on current freight volumes, that translates to about 30,000 additional long-distance truck moves each week, he said.
John Gray, senior vice president for policy and economics at the AAR, said freight railroads could comfortably handle an extra 20,000 to 30,000 intermodal loads a week. “I am confident there is a lot more capacity out there,” Mr. Gray said.
U.S. supply chains are struggling to ingest record cargo volumes that began surging into the country in the summer of 2020, a few months after the Covid-19 pandemic triggered lockdowns, when consumers switched their spending from services to goods. Imports were up 14% in 2021 over the year before at the nation’s busiest container port complex at Los Angeles and Long Beach, CA, clogging port terminals, rail yards, truck yards and warehouses.
Railroads carried record levels of inter-modal cargo toward the end of 2020 and through the first half of 2021. But last summer, the system ground to a halt as rail yards in the Chicago area filled with tens of thousands of boxes, backing up shipments at a key hub for transport to destinations east of the Mississippi River. Rail and trucking industry officials say the congestion was caused by too many boxes flowing into the region for warehouses and truckers to handle, a situation that has popped up intermittently at other intermodal hubs around the country.
Jim Filter, chief commercial officer of Green Bay, WI. based trucking and logistics provider Schneider National Inc., said shipping customers took 30% longer than usual, on average, to unload containers last year because their warehouse space was packed and they had too few workers. That tied up the containers and the steel trailers used to pull boxes, making it harder to find equipment al-ready in short supply.
In July, some railroads restricted cargo into Chicago for days until the bottlenecks cleared, pushing shippers to trucking for long-distance routes to inland warehouses. The period coincided with massive bottlenecks at U.S. ports, where container ships at the port complex in Southern California waited weeks or months to unload cargo.
To make up for lost time, some shippers chose to pay more for the certainty and speed of trucking. Truckload volumes moving through the spot market on routes that mirror the nation’s busiest inland route, from Los Angeles to Chicago, were up 130% year-over-year in early February.
Such demand is contributing to high trucking rates. Dean Croke, DAT’s principal freight market analyst, said spot rates on the Los Angeles to Chicago routes are up 59% year-over-year. But railroad officials say there are signs intermodal freight is beginning to bounce back. Tom Williams, group vice president for the consumer products business unit of BNSF Railway, said intermodal cargo volumes on container ships en route to the United States are up 25% compared with the start of the year.
Still, officials warn that without sufficient equipment, truck drivers, warehouse space and workers to process cargo, rail systems could become clogged again.
“We need the entire chain to be able to handle it at the same pace so we don’t get into a similar situation where the trains keep coming and the street and the warehouses can’t process it fast enough,” said Elise Gosch, assistant vice president of intermodal sales at Union Pacific Corp.

After much anticipation, the Matter 1.0 wireless specification has finally arrived. The Connectivity Standards Alliance, the international community of more than 550 technology companies committed to open standards for the Internet of Things, announced the release of the Matter 1.0 specification and the opening of the Matter certification program. Member companies who make up all facets of the IoT now have a complete program for bringing the next generation of interoperable products that work across brands and platforms to market with greater privacy, security, and simplicity for consumers.
As part of the Matter 1.0 release, authorized test labs are open for product certification, the test harnesses and tools are available, and the open-source reference design software development kit (SDK) is complete – all to bring new, innovative products to market. Further, Alliance members with devices already deployed and with plans to update their products to support Matter can now do so, once their products are certified.
“What started as a mission to unravel the complexities of connectivity has resulted in Matter, a single, global IP-based protocol that will fundamentally change the IoT,” says Tobin Richardson, President and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Alliance. “This release is the first step on a journey our community and the industry are taking to make the IoT more simple, secure, and valuable no matter who you are or where you live. With global support from companies large and small, today’s Matter 1.0 release is more than a milestone for our organization and our members; it is a celebration of what is possible.”
Over 280 member companies — including Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Google, Samsung SmartThings, and Signify — have brought their technologies, experience, and innovations together to ensure Matter met the needs of all stakeholders including users, product makers, and platforms. Collectively, these companies led the way through requirements and specification development, reference design, multiple test events and final specification validation to reach this industry milestone.
“We would not be where we are today without the strength and dedication of the Alliance members who have provided thousands of engineers, intellectual property, software accelerators, security protocols, and the financial resources to accomplish what no single company could ever do on their own,” says Bruno Vulcano, Chair of the Alliance Board and R&D Manager for Legrand Digital Infrastructure. “With members equally distributed throughout the world, Matter is the realization of a truly global effort that will benefit manufacturers, customers and consumers alike, not just in a single region or continent.”
Matter 1.0 Test Certification
More than just a specification, the Matter 1.0 standard launches with test cases and comprehensive test tools for Alliance members and a global certification program including eight authorized test labs who are primed to test not only Matter, but also Matter’s underlying network technologies, Wi-Fi and Thread. Wi-Fi enables Matter devices to interact over a high-bandwidth local network and allows smart home devices to communicate with the cloud. Thread provides an energy efficient and highly reliable mesh network within the home. Both the Wi-Fi Alliance and Thread Group partnered with the Connectivity Standards Alliance to help realize the complete vision of Matter.
“Matter and Thread resolve interoperability and connectivity issues in smart homes so manufacturers can focus on other value-adding innovations,” Thread Group president Vividh Siddha says. “Thread creates a self-healing mesh network which grows more responsive and reliable with each added device, and its ultra-lower power architecture extends battery life. Combined, Thread with Matter is a powerful choice for product companies and a great value for consumers.”
“Matter leverages Wi-Fi’s sophisticated network efficiency, global pervasiveness of more than 18 billion devices in use today, and robust standards-based foundation to help deliver the IoT vision,” says Edgar Figueroa, president and CEO, Wi-Fi Alliance. “Together, Wi-Fi CERTIFIED and Matter bring simple and secure interoperability for a better user experience with a wide range of IoT devices.”
Matter is also striking new ground with security policies and processes using distributed ledger technology and Public Key Infrastructure to validate device certification and provenance.

Tight Purse Strings or Spend More?
China’s economy is not immune to the influence of the global economic crisis. As China’s economy is heavily dependent on global trade and investment flows, the global economic slowdown has already had a negative impact on China’s export sector and industries. There are some observations that our economy is alreadyslowing down. In response, many scholars call on Chinese people to spend more money to create domestic demands in various magazines and newspapers. They even equal consumption with being patriotic. In my point ofview, we should hold the strings of purse tight, instead of spending more.
Firstly, as even some economic big shots acknowledge that they can not see the bottom of the global economic crisis, we should get prepared by holding the strings of our purse tight in case that the crisis lasts longer than anticipated. In terms of traditions, Chinese people have formed the habit of saving money for long-term consideration. While many foreigners accuse Chinese of being conservative, it is time-honored wisdom to save money for emergencies in the future.
As a matter of fact, many foreign countries are characterized by their advanced welfare systems, so that they can still make their needs meet in times of crisis. In China, while we admit that the government has made progress in the establishment of social security systems, there are still many members of our society that are not included in social security systems. Therefore, it is impractical to call on those excluded members of the social security systems to spend more money.
Secondly, though Chinese people earn more money than before in the aggregate, the majority of us still do not amass enough wealth to live a guaranteed life. According to the latest release of national incomes, urban citizens earn a per capita income of 15, 781 yuan while people in the rural areas earn only 4, 761 yuan. However, we must bear in mind that wealth amassed by relatively limited number of millionaires and billionaires contribute a large share of the per capita income growth. Many people in the rural areas and those laid-off and unemployed workers can not even earn an average income. I think everyone wants to live a luxurious life, but without enough money how can they make it?
To sum up, in a time of economic slowdown, we should hold the strings of our purse tight so that we can tide ourselves over in case of emergencies.And it is impractical to call on spending more when China is still a developing country. As an alternative, I think we can boycott exports of foreign goods so that we can still create domestic demands.

As promised...today we are talking about DIET SODA.
Diet soda was originally created and advertised as a pop safe for diabetics to drink, and over the years it's become an "in" drink for those trying to maintain/lose weight as well. But the numbers are showing it's not good for healthy weight loss OR diabetics.
Harvard conducted an 11-year study following women drinking diet soda. Those who drank diet soda compared to regular soda saw a two-fold increase in incidence of kidney function decline. Researchers did not see this in those who drank regular soda, so they have theorized the ingredients in diet soda are causing the decline. And again, like the studies we read about yesterday regarding regular soda, those who drank diet soda still experienced increased rates of metabolic syndrome (diabetes) and weight gain despite drinking a zero sugar, zero calorie drink (this could be due to lifestyle).
The jury is still out on the negative effects of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. Studies on humans have been inconclusive, but rat studies show tremendous risk increase for tumors and cancer.
On a final note, studies have found that drinking diet soda will impact your gut bacteria. Your gut bacteria helps determine your metabolism (among many other things), and it was found that of those who consume diet soda, not only did their gut bacteria change dramatically, but they also developed glucose intolerance which was reversible after stopping diet soda.
Just some tidbits to nibble on today. Are you diet soda fans? After reading today's post, are you inspired to do some more research on your own about the effects of diet soda?

NEW YORK — Retailers don’t qualify as Olympic hopefuls, at least for the upcoming Summer Games in Athens.
This story first appeared in the July 15, 2004 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Generally, stores don’t consider the Olympics to be much of a platform for specific merchandise tie-ins or special events. The big boost will likely come to the athletic sector in general, as spectators get motivated to work out and thus buy sports apparel, shoes, equipment and other parephernalia. As in real estate, the major factor when it comes to the Games per se generating retail sales is location, location, location. So stores are looking far in the future to the 2012 Summer Olympics, which, if held in New York City, would provide major merchandising and marketing possibilities.
“That could be an absolute bonanza,” said Mitchell Modell, chief executive of the 107-unit Modell’s sporting goods chain in the New York, Philadelphia, Washington and New Jersey markets, and a member of the New York City 2012 Olympic board. “It could be bigger than the [baseball] subway series. The energy and enthusiasm of New Yorkers are just incredible.”
“If we win the bid for 2012, it could be enormous for the store,” said Anne Keating, senior vice president of Bloomingdale’s. “But in order to really participate, we would have to work with the sponsors, like Speedo.”
For the time being, however, “We have not found the Olympics to have that much of an impact directly, unless they are in locations that the company has stores in,” said Dennis Magulick, manager of investor relations for Dick’s Sporting Goods, which has 169 stores in 27 states and which just took over the Galyan’s Trading Corp. chain. “We don’t have any major events planned specifically for that. There is not that much in terms of merchandise initiatives.”
He did say that if a hero emerged from the Olympics, an athlete who produces a personal story related to the competition, there could be some “spillover effect” later, charging up sales of related merchandise.
What Modell’s is currently capitalizing on is the after-market for Olympic-inspired or logoed goods, including T-shirts, hats, zipper sweatshirts with hoods and bags to carry athletic gear with red, white and blue colors. “Obviously, manufacturers produced a lot more merchandise than was needed. It was dumped pretty early,” Modell said. “We were able to buy this merchandise at reduced prices, and we will sell it at almost 50 percent what most retailers sell it for. This is an off-price deal. It will be in stores in the third week of July.”
Modell’s generally operates on an everyday low-price platform, rather than off-price. Aside from after-market goods, Modell’s hasn’t seen much opportunity in merchandising or having special events surrounding the Olympics, past or present. “Even when it was held in Atlanta, it wasn’t great,” Modell said.
For about the past year, Bloomingdale’s and a few other stores have been selling merchandise tied to the 2012 Olympics. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of such merchandise as T-shirts, shorts, bags, caps and pins will support New York’s effort to be named the 2012 Host City.
For the Athens games, Aug. 13-29, Bloomingdale’s is teaming with Speedo to promote the brand’s new Fastskin FS II swimwear. Speedo is the official swimwear supplier to the U.S. Olympic Swim Team, and Olympic gold medalists Rowdy Gaines and Janet Evans will appear at Bloomingdale’s 59th Street Monday to model the merchandise, which will also be featured in the store’s Lexington Avenue windows. Keating said Bloomingdale’s is a big supporter of having the 2012 Olympics in New York.
At Niketown this summer, images of Olympians focused on speed will adorn the stores. “Regardless of the sport, their main goal has been speed, and we are bringing that to life in a retail setting with images of Olympic-bound Nike athletes, including Marian Jones and Justin Gatlin,” said a spokeswoman.
She added that Niketown stores, in association with the Nike running club, will hold speed clinics with former athletes and running coaches.
Paragon, on Broadway here, will be selling footwear with colors from various countries, not just the red, white and blue, said Jason Mandell, footwear buyer. Top vendors, including Nike, Adidas and New Balance, are participating. “It seems to be each and every Olympic year, red, white and blue are bigger sellers. It’s mostly color-ups on styles,” meaning a style that could be just in black and white would also be released in red, white and blue.
Paragon will also eventually be selling Dale of Norway nordic sweaters, priced at about $250, in conjunction with the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, Italy, according to Peri Cubillo, snow sports apparel buyer. They’ll be worn by television commentators.
But most stores contacted said they just don’t see much of a sales impact from the Games.
“No one has come into our store and asked for Olympic gear,” noted Sam Gold, co-owner of Sports Depot, a 2,500-square-foot sporting goods store in Howard Beach, N.Y. “There isn’t that much interest unless there is a local story. If the Olympics were in New York, that would be a different story.”

The government on Tuesday declared Aug. 17 a substitute holiday for Liberation Day, which falls on a Saturday, to boost consumption over the long weekend.
At a Cabinet meeting at Cheong Wa Dae, President Moon Jae-in said the decision aims to give a "short but precious time for rest" to people exhausted from the protracted coronavirus epidemic.
Liberation Day is not normally among holidays that merit a make-up day if they fall on the weekend.
Hyundai Research Institute estimates that Koreans will spend some W2.1 trillion on the extra holiday alone (US$1=W1,197). That means the long weekend could offer a substantial boost to the virus-ridden economy. It is expected to benefit particularly the hospitality, food and recreation sectors.
The institute made the estimate on the assumption that about half of the population, or 25 million people will be able to take the long weekend off and make the most of it, spending on average W83,690 daily per person.

Most people are aware that using smart devices or internet-connected tech can open you up to privacy issues. After all, we’ve all seen news stories about spying or peeping due to smart device hacking.
Many of these stories are about outside cybercriminals taking advantage of loopholes in the system to gain access to security footage or other personal information. Not many involve security issues caused by employees of smart tech companies. Tap or click here to see why five smart video doorbells recently failed security tests.
However, one recent and scary issue with hacking does involve an employee of a security company. In this case, the employee was using customers’ security cameras to spy on women. Here’s what happened and who was targeted in the hack.
Here’s the backstory
Earlier this week, Telesforo Aviles, a 35-year-old former technician for security company ADT, admitted to federal prosecutors that he accessed more than 200 ADT customer camera feeds to spy on them. Aviles said he targeted particularly attractive women to watch them at home as they undressed, slept or had sex.
According to the guilty plea submitted by Aviles in court, the ADT tech not only spied on the women but secretly accessed the customers’ accounts more than 9,600 times during a four year period.
While working for ADT, Aviles would determine which women to target and note where they lived. He would then add his personal email address to their ADT Pulse accounts to access their video feeds. In some cases, Aviles would tell the women that he needed to temporarily add himself to their accounts to test their security system. In other cases, he would do so without notifying the customer.
Adding his email address to the women’s accounts allowed Aviles to watch the customers’ security camera feeds undetected through the ADT Pulse app. Aviles was eventually caught, but not before accessing over 200 Texas-based video feeds nearly 10,000 times.
ADT first alerted customers to the incident in April 2020 on its website.
Federal charges were brought…

Ever since HRT entered the world of Formula One as Hispania in 2010, the team has been in almost constant financial difficulty. In the three years it's been active in F1, no less than three companies have tried to turn the fledgling racing outfit into a successful one.
It now seems, though, that HRT might be have a fourth new owner soon, as it's been reported that the team is now up for sale.
Despite its plans to transform the team and establish it as a 'Spanish national team', the investment group Thesan Capital – the company that bought HRT in July this year – has decided that it's now right to see if someone else can turn the team around.
In an official statement, the firm declared that, although it was "proud of the work done by the entire team", the investment company believed the racing team would "continue growing with new financial backing", and "enable the team to…become a reference in modern-day Formula 1" .
The press release goes on to say that HRT's current owners are "in talks with a number of groups interested in buying the team", and plans on being able to "conclude the sale" and "communicate the name of its new owner in the coming weeks".
