US Vogue has just confirmed internet suspicions that Beyoncé will be gracing their coveted September Fashion issue. Katy Perry better watch out, she has some seriously stiff - and stylish - competition.
When a picture of a leaked Vogue cover featuring the Halo singer began to circulate online, Queen Bey fans everywhere started to buzz with delight.
And luckily, the Twittersphere didn't have to wait long before their hopes and dreams were confirmed by Vogue's official account.
The brand posted an Instagram picture of the official Beyoncé cover, showing the singer in all of her wet haired, sequinned coated glory.
Mrs Jay-Z can be seen looking uber sultry in her Marc Jacobs floral, structured dress and burgundy, sequin jacket.
Inside the issue, there's a whole lot more of Beyoncé looking incredible to get excited about, too.
Bey, who was photographed for the issue by renowned photographer Mario Testino is featured on the inside pages in even more we-want-them-now dresses.
Inside the article, different designers talk about Beyoncé's influence on the industry, and the world. "The word diva is used for so many female performers, and it often means they have reputations for being difficult, but she exudes charm and a lovable quality", Marc Jacobs says.
While Stella McCartney states: "She's the whole package: primal, rare, delicate, beautiful, and powerful."
The issue goes on sale in the US on August 25, or via Amazon from August 14

Anthony Fama, Gateway's group counsel, said in testimony submitted by nine states and the District of Columbia that the Redmond, Wash.-based software maker can still use Windows licensing agreements and other contractual provisions to extract concessions from PC makers.
Fama, who also appeared in court Monday and will likely take the stand again Tuesday, was critical of the proposed settlement because, he asserted, it effectively gives Microsoft too much wiggle room.
Microsoft, for instance, can grant or withhold market-development funds more or less at will under the new licensing agreements. Such funds pay for a substantial part of a PC maker's television and print advertisements and can add up to huge sums. PC makers that agree to ship all PCs with Windows, for example, can receive $10 per PC in market development funds.
The company also imposes a "two strikes" policy, which it can use to terminate a PC maker's Windows license. Under previous Microsoft licenses, PC makers were granted three strikes.
"The (two-strike) threat...has a remarkable chilling effect on an OEM's (original equipment manufacturer's) willingness to promote non-Microsoft middleware, platform software or otherwise," Fama testified. "Microsoft retains incredible power over Gateway and, presumably, other OEMs."
But Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler disagreed. "The non-settling states and Gateway's special-interest complaints ignore the purpose of the proposed settlement between the DOJ, nine bipartisan states and Microsoft," he said. "All of the government parties, including the non-settling states, took the position that Microsoft should have uniform terms among OEMs."
Fama's testimony is significant in part because until now only Microsoft competitors, such as AOL Time Warner, RealNetworks or Sun Microsystems, have appeared in court. Gateway is a customer.
"Competitors' comments and criticisms can be dismissed by Microsoft as sour grapes," said Emmett Stanton, an antitrust lawyer with Fenwick & West in Palo Alto, Calif. "The customers who are suffering from Microsoft's conduct simply can't be dismissed that way."
Microsoft on Sunday filed to strike large portions of the submitted testimony from the proceeding before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. She did not grant the request.
Microsoft dictates terms
In theory, Microsoft's November with the Justice Department and nine of 18 states should have leveled the playing field and put a stop to potential retaliatory tactics. That settlement is pending, awaiting Kollar-Kotelly's approval.
But Fama charged that the uniform licensing provision, which mandates that all PC makers receive the same contract, leaves Microsoft plenty of room to play favorites and reset terms to the detriment of PC makers.
Microsoft sent a letter to Gateway dated Dec. 12, explaining that Microsoft would soon be changing to a uniform licensing mechanism as required by the settlement. The new terms would affect contracts written after Dec. 16 for the top 20 PC makers.
The new license "contained provisions that were more favorable to Microsoft than the previous versions of the corresponding agreements Gateway had negotiated," Fama testified.
For instance, under the two-strikes provision, Microsoft could terminate any PC maker's Windows licenses without notice after sending two default notices. The notices would not need to be for serious offenses, either, Fama said. Under its previous license, Gateway had a three-strike provision.
"Microsoft licenses its software products through a Web of interlocking agreements," Fama testified, so "it would not be surprising if an OEM often was not in compliance." He noted that Gateway received four such notices in June 1997.
Fama noted that the litigating states' remedy proposal ignores a "strikes" approach and instead mandates "a 60-day cure period" for resolving serious disagreements.
Gateway, like Hewlett-Packard and Sony before the remedy proceeding started,at another provision that would effectively prevent PC makers from suing Microsoft for infringement of their patents. Microsoft contends that changes later made to the settlement resolved these issues.
Microsoft also more closely circumscribed release dates of software. Under Gateway's old licensing agreement, the company could begin shipping the new Windows version as soon as any other PC maker. The uniform licensing agreement would restrict PC makers to a date communicated by Microsoft, Fama testified. Therefore, Microsoft could let some companies sell a new OS before others and sweep up early buyers.
"Allowing one OEM to get a jump on advertising and distributing a new Microsoft product, particularly a new Windows product, could be particularly advantageous to that OEM and significantly disadvantageous to its competitors," Fama said.
Gateway also faulted another provision of the new licensing agreement, which requires PC makers to pay a Windows royalty on every PC shipped, even if it didn't include Windows. To top it off, to qualify for market development funds, PC makers have to put a Microsoft OS on every PC. As a result, trying to sell non-Windows PCs, or even PCs without software, is a financial loser for computer makers.
"In other words, Gateway must comply with this provision in order to receive any market development funds," Fama said. The discount is substantial: $10 per copy of Windows.
"Since that $10 discount would apply to each copy of Windows XP that Gateway distributes during 2003, it would not be commercially practical to consider compliance...as optional," Fama testified.
Fama's testimony also included the volume discount that PC makers receive on Windows, but that part of his testimony was removed from the publicly distributed copies, with one exception: PC makers selling one to 599,999 units receive no discount.
Fama concluded that the new uniform pricing mechanism benefits those companies selling the highest volumes, such as Dell Computer.
Any provisions of the agreement that hold true for Gateway should apply to other PC makers, Stanton said.
"Any large customer should be a pretty good proxy for the others, because the terms are supposed to be uniform," Fama said. "Dell may not want to be a witness, but Dell is affected in similar ways to Gateway because of uniform licensing."
Other companies, though, including Intel, offer discounts to the largest purchasers.

This morning Goldman Sachs is making a key change to its PC uinverse coverage. Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) is being added to the Conviction Buy List, and rival Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) is being removed from the Conviction Buy List. Goldman Sachs added Dell to its Buy list back on March 26 with expectations for catalysts over a 12 to 18 month period. Goldman now sees a series of fairly immediate catalysts that could propel shares to its revised target of $35 (prior $33):
- The new retail partnerships with Staples and Wal-Mart (with more to come) should add $500M to $1B over the next year in revenues.
- Favorable DRAm costs should keep near-term margins higher than modeled.
- Dell’s NOV. 12 SEC Filing should unlock share buybacks (Goldman believes around $8 Billion).
- Its tax rate should actually come down.
- For these reasons the 2008 EPS estimates from Goldman Sachs were raised to $1.77 EPS vs $1.74 prior estimate.
- Goldman also noted that Dell only needs 7% revenue growth to delivery on 20% EPS growth.
Both Dell and H-P were maintained with BUY rating, so this is a relative upgrade this morning. They expect upside here as well. It even noted that it expects H-P to beat its $0.82 EPS target for the October quarter with increases to 2008. This noted that H-P was up 24% since the FEB 8, 2007 add to the Conviction Buy List, versus 6% on the S&P 500.
So this might not be a true a downgrade, but it appears that Goldman Sachs is seeing more upside at Dell over H-P from here.

Maybe time for a campaign for patriotic assholes Down Under?
Australian Workers Union Angry Over Cheap Indonesian Toilet Paper
A large Australian workers union has written to the federal government threatening to launch a full-scale campaign over cheap toilet roll imports from Indonesia and China.
The union, known as the CFMEU, says that a large shipment of cheap toilet rolls poses a serious threat to jobs and the local manufacturing industry, Australian Associated Press reported on Monday.
The rolls are due to be sold at almost half the usual retail price, leading one major manufacturer in South Australia to predict 1500 jobs will be lost.
The union has requested an urgent meeting with the attorney-general, asking him to overturn the decision allowing the import.
“Exporters from China and Indonesia are hurting the tissue-making industry by selling product at a lower price,” CFMEU secretary Michael O’Connor said in a statement.
via Australian Workers Union Angry Over Cheap Indonesian Toilet Paper – The Jakarta Globe.
if u can’t produce cheaper, then go file for bankruptcy, or try other businesses where the competition is less stiff.
thats how globalisation works. u cant expect to flood us with cheap diary products at which u hv competitive edge while blocking us access to ur market

Google created this rotating 16-GoPro arc to capture light field data for VR
Google has announced that it is experimenting with light field technology to improve its virtual reality content. The company detailed the work in a recent blog post, explaining that it has modified a GoPro Odyssey Jump camera so that it features 16 cameras mounted along a vertical arc, which is itself mounted to a 360-degree rotating platform.
According to Google, light field technology is one potential way to give users a “more realistic sense of presence” within a VR world. Light field-based content presents objects in different ways depending on the position of the user’s head and their distance from the object.
“Far-away objects shift less and light reflects off objects differently, so you get a strong cue that you’re in a 3D space,” Google explains. VR headsets with positional tracking take this to a new level by determining where the user is “located” within the virtual world.
Using its rotating Jump rig, Google is able to capture approximately 1,000 outward-facing viewpoints on a 70cm sphere, which ultimately offers a 2ft / 60cm diameter volume of light rays. The company explains how its translates that data into VR content:
To render views for the headset, rays of light are sampled from the camera positions on the surface of the sphere to construct novel views as seen from inside the sphere to match how the user moves their head. They’re aligned and compressed in a custom dataset file that’s read by special rendering software we’ve implemented as a plug-in for the Unity game engine.
Demo content has been released to the public via the Steam VR app “Welcome to Light Fields.” Users will need a Windows Mixed Reality, HTC Vive, or Oculus Rift headset to view the content. Light field VR demo experiences include a look inside the Space Shuttle Discovery, Gamble House, and Mosaic Tile House.

Tax evasion utilizing cryptocurrencies is “replicating” with nonfungible tokens and different new crypto-related merchandise, in line with the IRS Commissioner.
In testimony earlier than the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig mentioned the U.S. fails to gather as a lot as $1 trillion in taxes owed every year — partly as a result of explosion in cryptocurrencies, that are troublesome for the Inside Income Service to trace and tax.
Rettig mentioned that the crypto financial system — now valued at over $2 trillion globally — continues to increase, and he particularly talked about nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, for instance.
The crypto world, he mentioned, “is replicating itself always. So now we now have these nonfungible tokens, that are primarily collectibles within the crypto world. These will not be seen objects by design. The crypto world isn’t seen.”
“Within the legal context, the IRS legal investigations, cybercrime unit has been spectacular working within the dark web, participating with cryptocurrency-related transactions,” Rettig mentioned.
In response to a query from Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, who mentioned he’s engaged on a invoice to require extra reporting and disclosure round crypto transactions, Rettig mentioned that “completely, reporting with respect to cryptocurrencies can be vital.”
Cryptocurrencies are taxed by the IRS as capital assets not currencies. So anytime a holder of bitcoin, for instance, sells it or makes use of bitcoin for a purchase order or change, they’re required to pay capital beneficial properties on any appreciation of their bitcoin worth since they bought it. Tax specialists say many crypto holders are both unaware of the requirement or avoiding the tax.
Platforms like Coinbase, which fought an IRS request for buyer information in 2016, now report some buyer data to the IRS. However tax specialists say clearer authorities regulation is required to require extra taxpayer disclosure.
As an indication of how vital crypto tax evasion has develop into to the IRS, the company added a query to the highest of the Kind 1040 — the principle revenue and tax reporting kind — asking: “At any time throughout 2020, did you obtain, promote, ship, change or in any other case purchase any monetary curiosity in digital foreign money?”
NFTs have exploded in worth and recognition in latest months, raising a whole new set of tax questions.
NFT sales topped $2 billion in the first quarter within the platforms tracked by NonFungible.com. Though NFTs are bought with crypto — normally ether — many U.S. NFT consumers will not be conscious that they should pay a capital beneficial properties tax after they use appreciated crypto to make a purchase order.

The impact of the US soybean market on Chinese soybean imports under the new crown epidemic
The annual International Grain Council (IGC) conference just concluded in June, and the "Chinese market" and "new crown epidemic" became the most popular keywords for this conference. The new crown epidemic has impacted almost all industries, and of course inevitably affected the global supply and demand relations and trade flows of commodities. Traders, brokers, shipping companies, etc. can not avoid the risks and challenges brought by the new crown epidemic, which is undoubtedly Increased uncertainty in trade negotiations and contract execution.
(Soybeans are one of the most common animal feed raw materials. Soybeans are rich in nutrients. Its seeds contain about 40% protein, about 20% fat, about 30% carbohydrates, and abundant inorganic salts and vitamins. In the same The product contains such complete and rich nutrients that no other crop can match, only soybeans are unique.)
1. US soybean market in the first half of 2020
The market has witnessed a sharp increase in global soybean demand in the past decade, but the US soybean market is now facing challenges. In addition to the impact of African swine fever last year, the new crown epidemic since the beginning of the year and the impact of national restrictions on the global supply chain. But so far, port work and shipping have been carried out normally at a regular pace. Although transportation was affected to a certain extent in the context of the New Crown Epidemic, the transportation of US beans and other agricultural products to the port was mainly via rail and inland waterways, requiring very little labor and relatively little impact from the epidemic.
China has always been the largest customer of US soybean exports, and there are more than three months before the harvest of US soybeans in the new quarter. The most important concern for the US soybean market in 2020/21 is the changes in Chinese customers’ purchases and the US and Brazilian soybeans this fall. Stock. The current US soybean planting progress, price trends and export order signing have all shown good momentum.
2. U.S. soybean cultivation and production expectations
2020/21 US soybean planting area and planting progress are significantly higher than the same period last year, this year's US soybean production is expected to increase significantly. According to the June supply and demand report released by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) on June 11, the estimated soybean planting area in the United States in 2020/21 is 83.5 million acres, which is 9.7% higher than the 12 acres in 2019/20; 2020/21 The annual harvested area of US soybeans is estimated at 82.8 million acres, which is 10.4% higher than the 75 million acres in 2019/20.
At the same time, the current US soybean planting progress is much higher than the same period last year. Although it is still early in the US soybean growth season this year, the progress of soybean and corn planting is significantly faster than in previous years. Of course, the humid climate last year was also one of the reasons for the slower planting progress. This year's climate conditions are expected to be good, rain Abundant and suitable for planting. As of mid-June, the progress of soybean planting in the United States has reached 93%, exceeding the average value of 88% over the same period in the past five years. Early planting often has a positive impact on soybean production.
3. US soybean price trend
Since the first half of this year, US soybean spot prices have generally been on a downward trend, and with the smooth progress of US soybean planting progress and forecasted output growth, US soybean prices may be under further pressure. As of June, under the influence of factors such as inventory tightening and the new crown epidemic, the prices of commodities including soybeans have been under pressure. An analysis report that has long paid attention to the US soybean spot market quotation shows that in central Illinois, the largest soybean production state in the United States, Since the beginning of the year, soybean prices have fallen by almost $1 per bushel. The USDA expects that the average price of US soybeans in 2020/21 will fall by 30 cents per bushel compared to 2019/20. Spot inventory of US soybeans in 2020/2021 will continue to tighten. At the same time, the following important reasons have also caused prices to fall: First, Lower corn prices have put pressure on soybean prices; secondly, the increase in soybean production in South America and the accumulation of Chinese stocks may inhibit price increases. From the data in the table below, the spot price of US soybeans in 2020/2021 has fallen by 4% compared with the same period last year.
4. US soybean exports
According to sources learned from various channels such as traders, industry departments and official agencies, as the supply of soybeans in South America declines and China is close to reaching the first-stage trade agreement, US soybean exports will continue to increase, and China-US soybean trade is gradually recovering in 2017/ The scale of 18 years ago. Since June alone, US soybean exporters have received inquiries and orders from many Chinese buyers. On June 15, the US Department of Agriculture announced that private exporters sold 390,000 tons of soybeans to China for delivery in 2020/21 (the soybean sales year begins on September 1). There are also private exporters on June 11 The USDA reported 720,000 tons of soybean exports to China, of which 63,000 tons will be delivered in the 2019/2020 marketing year and 657,000 tons will be delivered in the 2020/2021 marketing year.
The market share of US soybeans is recovering. As of June, US soybean export volume has increased by 22% compared with the same period of last year, reaching 55.8 million tons. Looking back at the US soybean market share of about 38% to 40% before 2017/18, it fell to a record low of 30% in 2019/2020, in view of the supply, crushing, export and final inventory of US soybeans in 2020/21 Increased, and driven by the expected increase in Chinese soybean demand, global soybean import demand will rise in 2020-21, and the US Department of Agriculture expects the US soybean market share to rise to 34%.

opular Detroit-based fashion label Détroit Is The New Black is leaving their Midtown location at the N’Namdi Gallery, but fans of the brand can relax-their new home will be just a few miles away at Ponyride in Corktown.
The move is said to be part of an overall expansion for the company. In addition to moving operations to Ponyride, founder and CEO Roslyn Karamoko is planning to open a new downtown location later this year.
"Détroit Is The New Black is a great addition to the Ponyride family. Roslyn and her team have truly captured what it means to be a part of the Detroit and fashion renaissance that is taking place in the city," Ponyride Director Stella Safari says in a press release.
The Ponyride location will serve as the company's headquarters, and will be used as a factory store to purchase items. The new location is said to open to the public by April 1.
Karamoko, a Seattle native with extensive fashion industry experience, moved to Detroit in 2013, and founded the Détroit Is The New Black brand in 2014.
"I am excited about the direction we're taking the label and look forward to announcing future partnerships and the opening of our downtown Detroit location later this year," said Karamoko says in a press release. "We've seen a great response to this simple yet distinctive brand concept. People have truly gravitated to our minimal approach to fashion that celebrates Detroit’s French roots."
The store plans to host events leading up to the launch of its new location in downtown Detroit, including a sample sale and pop-ups.

Rumor: Google Nexus 10 tablet is right around the corner
Last week Google launched the Nexus 7 tablet featuring a 7-inch display as well as a number of other nice tech specs – all for just 199 USD. And while analysts do not expect the Nexus to challenge Apple’s iPad the US tech giant is preparing the next version of the tablet that supposedly will be called Nexus 10 – coming with a 10-inch display.
Be warned though – this is just a rumor started on the Internet but the basis for this rumor is pretty good – Wintek, the company that provided 500K OGS displays to Google for the Nexus 7 now has the task to supply 10-inch displays again to Google. The companies will also enjoy the help of AU Optronics that will assist with the panel parts.
No word on the official launch of the Google Nexus 10 though, although the tablet is expected to see the light of day before fall 2012 when Microsoft’s Surface tablets are to appear in stores. Google plans to sell the Nexus 10 for 299 USD, which isn’t a bad price after all.

For those that are waiting for Rihanna and Puma to release the next set of colorways, you won’t have to much longer. Taking to Instagram, Riri has stated that we will have three more colorways of the Puma Rihanna Creepers in May 2016.
This set of Puma Creepers will be the third collection that Rihanna and Puma have collaborated on. The other two sold-out rather fast so hopefully this will give everyone another chance or to pick up something new.
Images have yet to leak of the Puma Rihanna Creepers May 2016 releases, however Puma did take to Snapchat and shared some information. There will be a patent leather pair done in White, Black which is statin laced and the third will feature Green and Bordeaux.
Rihanna and Puma’s next collaboration using the Creeper is set to release on May 26th, 2016. Once we obtain images of the shoes, we will make sure to update you.
Rihanna x Puma Creeper
Release Date: May 26, 2016
Update: Here is a detailed look of the three Rihanna x Puma Suede Creepers releasing on May 26th. They will be available at retailers like Caliroots.

In a surprise community meeting yesterday, Nothing CEO Carl Pei revealed the company’s plans to launch CMF, a new sub-brand focused on delivering beautiful tech products at affordable prices.
CMF (which stands for “Clean, Minimalist, Functional”) will operate as a separate entity within Nothing, with its own team and branding. The goal is to bring Nothing’s design philosophy of effortless style to the masses.
“We wanted to make tech that empowers more people, not just those who can splurge on the latest flagship”, said Pei in the meeting. “CMF will give budget-focused shoppers access to our ecosystem while staying true to our ideals of timeless aesthetic and intuitive UX”.
First on the CMF roadmap: earbuds and a smartwatch slated to drop later this year. While details are still sparse, Pei promised these devices will punch above their weight class in terms of build quality.
“In the sub-$100 price segment, it’s rare to find gadgets that are durable and look/feel premium” Pei explicated. “CMF aims to disrupt expectations of what’s possible at a low price point”.
Meanwhile, the Nothing Phone 2 recently launched to critical acclaim, featuring next-gen specs like the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and a striking transparent back design.
Rest assured, Nothing will keep doing what it does best: “Our main brand isn’t going anywhere” Pei confirmed. “We’ll continue driving innovation and pushing boundaries in the premium space”.
In the coming months, expect more juicy details on the inaugural CMF wearables. Nothing seems poised to win over budget-focused buyers who still appreciate polished aesthetics.
But a question remains: can the young company successfully manage two brands simultaneously? We’ll have to wait and see, but the smart thinking and hype-building marketing Nothing has displayed so far indicates they may just pull it off.

The race was on because Jabong was in the late stages of talks with Flipkart arch-rival Snapdeal.
Flipkart moved quickly to steal Jabong from Snapdeal, who desperately wanted to gain market share in the fashion ecommerce segment.
“Generally, a deal of this size takes three to six months from due diligence to closure. Wrapping it up in 72 hours was a challenge,” comments Vinay Joy, Associate partner at Khaitan & Co.
In the case of Flipkart and Jabong, Vinay and his team understood the risks and proceeded with documentation on all levels. It’s possible that the Jabong team was already in the process to provide the due diligence documents to other parties interested in buying it.
An agreement can be worked upon and signed within three days but a legal and financial due diligence of a company already mixed in controversies is not possible within that time frame.
Jabong murky history
Jabong’s prime backer was Rocket Internet. The stake was later sold to Global Fashion Group, in which the latter owns a stake, along with lead investor Kinnevik AB. Rocket Internet was unhappy with the fact that GoJavas, a logistics company incubated inside Jabong and now a separate company valued more than Jabong, has no shareholding in it. This eventually led to an audit at Jabong.
We have a high bar when it comes to governance, regulations and compliance. Unless a company can clear that bar, we have issues. – Kunal Bahl, CEO of Snapdeal.
Out of all the mergers this year, the acquisition of Jabong is probably the most controversial, and far from being smooth. Flipkart’s lawyer will be conducting post-due diligence even after the deal is inked.

text: Increased demand for personal computers and the growth of the Internet are two factors accounting for worldwide shipments of photonic components that exceeded $7.1 billion in 1997, an increase of 10 percent from the previous year. Market watchdog Strategies Unlimited, based in Mountain View, Calif., released the data as part of its survey of the top 50 photonic component suppliers. The survey includes shipments of light-emitting diodes, optocouplers, laser diodes, detectors, datacom and telecom modules, and image sensors. The survey also found that the top 10 companies generated nearly 60 percent of total worldwide revenues. The top 15 companies generated 75 percent of the revenues, with the remaining 35 companies garnering most of the remaining 25 percent.

ITHACA, N.Y., May 30 (UPI) -- The genome of the tomato has been decoded, a step toward improving yield, nutrition, disease resistance, taste and color of the tomato, U.S. researchers say.
The full genome sequence of the "Heinz 1706" variety of tomato comes after years of work by an international collaboration known as the Tomato Genomics Consortium.
Consortium researchers report that tomatoes possess some 35,000 genes arranged on 12 chromosomes.
"For any characteristic of the tomato, whether it's taste, natural pest resistance or nutritional content, we've captured virtually all those genes," said James Giovannoni, a scientist at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell University.
"Tomato genetics underlies the potential for improved taste every home gardener knows and every supermarket shopper desires and the genome sequence will help solve this and many other issues in tomato production and quality," he said in a Cornell release Wednesday.
The genome data will help seed companies and plant breeders sequence other varieties for research and development, he said, noting that whereas the first tomato genome sequence came at a cost of millions of dollars, subsequent ones might only cost $10,000 or less by building on these initial findings.
"Now we can start asking a lot more interesting questions about fruit biology, disease resistance, root development and nutritional qualities," Giovannoni says.

Michael Dell has expressed indifference towards Microsoft's upcoming Surface tablet.
The Dell founder and CEO said that he expected the Windows 8 slate to have a "limited impact" on the market, and admitted he is unconcerned about the competition it poses to his own company.
"I think the impact will be limited, given the number of units they expect to ship," Dell told PCWorld. "Microsoft developed the product largely as a reference architecture - to set a baseline for Windows 8 user experience."
However, Dell was full of praise for the Windows 8 operating system itself, explaining that his firm is investing significant resources into products compatible with it.
"We're aligning a significant portion of our product development with Windows 8, and we think it offers some great, new capabilities," he added.
"Anything Microsoft does to support faster Windows 8 adoption is fine by Dell. However, our focus is less on their plans and more on designing and delivering compelling Dell products and solutions."
Dell has previously confirmed plans to release a range of tablets and PCs running Microsoft's next operating system, and recently announced a line of Windows 8-powered business products.

If you eat animal products, the inconvenient truth is that chances are if the animal is being abused, so are the workers. As a consumer, one of the only ways you can really prevent these human rights violations, in addition to environmental contamination is to choose vegan and make an effort to purchase organic plant-based foods from local farmers or farmers markets when possible. While there is a possibility for the same human rights violations to occur with organic farming in mass production, it is less likely because the farms are smaller. By doing so you are taking a stance just as much for yourself as you are for the ones that don’t have a voice.

TAYLORSVILLE, Utah — The hottest new attraction at state-run liquor store is cold beer.
The opening of the new Taylorsville liquor store near 4500 South and 2700 West featured a first — coolers where cold beer is sold.
Cold beer was never forbidden by state law. The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the agency that controls the sale and supply of all alcohol in the state, never implemented it because of policy or budgetary reasons. That has now changed under newly-appointed DABC Executive Director Tiffany Clason.
"Week on week, our number one customer service complaint is the lack of cold beer and other limited cold beverages at our stores," she said in an interview with FOX 13. "So as I on-boarded, we started talking with the team, it just made sense to find a way to provide this service and help elevate our customer service and shopping experience."
This will be the new normal for state-run liquor stores going forward. It is too expensive to retrofit all of the state's liquor stores (and it will be cold beer-only for now, but some state liquor stores offer wine chilling service). While it's a first for the DABC itself, companies that operate "package stores" under a contract with the state have been known to cool beer or sell mixers and liquor accessories.
The Taylorsville store opened to customers making a beeline for the beer coolers. But the DABC is not done yet. Behind one of the coolers inside the new Taylorsville store is a piece of sheet rock that covers what will eventually become a walk-in "beer cave."

Digitalization of the economy is a hot topic these days. Technological change creates new jobs and new opportunities for business. It’s also changing the nature of work and disrupting many industries.
Central banking is no exception.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Digitalization raises a lot of important questions. Here is what is top of mind for the Bank of Canada and for other central banks around the world.
What’s in store for jobs and incomes?
Technological change is not new. Whether it was the steam engine or the World Wide Web, there’s no question that past technological change has helped raise overall living standards around the globe. Since Confederation, Canada’s real income per capita has increased by more than 20 times because we’ve become more productive.
While the world has gotten wealthier, the share of income going to workers has declined over the past few decades in many advanced economies. Technological change has spurred structural shifts in labour markets, so workers and firms are now competing in a global marketplace. That likely explains some of the weak wage growth we’ve seen in recent years.
Understanding this is essential for monetary policy because it appears to be changing the relationship between unemployment and inflation.
Today’s innovations — artificial intelligence, machine learning and many others — will benefit scores of workers because they will use the technology to do their jobs better. The Bank of Canada is certainly aiming to harness new technologies in our own operations. But adapting to this changing world will also be challenging for many. And we may see an erosion of jobs in more groups than in the past, such as lawyers and investment advisers. That’s why continuous investment in skills is more important than ever.
Innovation Nation: How Canada's banks are holding back the knowledge economy
Inside the power struggle between big banks and fintechs to modernize financial services
Read our Innovation Nation series
Central banks care about these changes in the distribution of income because they can change how monetary policy works through the economy. Less wealthy households tend to spend more of their income. So, changes in interest rates may matter more for them. Highly indebted households are also more sensitive to rate changes. Understanding these dynamics is a research priority for the bank.
How is the competitive landscape changing?
Much is being made of the rise of “superstar firms” in the high-tech industry, and their impact on competition. We’ve seen this in the past, when highly innovative firms benefitted from significant economies of scale — cost advantages from being big — and put downward pressure on prices, at least initially.
A new twist to the story of market dominance is user data. Access to and control over user data can create barriers to entry for other players, providing leverage to stifle competition and, potentially, control prices.
Why is this on our radar? As an inflation-targeting central bank, we care about how this could impact inflation dynamics.
We also care about the impact on the economy’s potential to grow without causing inflation, or its speed limit. The innovative ideas that are coming to market have a real chance of boosting sustainable growth. The full benefits will only be felt if newly created firms can contest the bigger players and fuel a vibrant, competitive economy. As well, existing firms need to invest in new technologies to remain competitive in global markets. Higher economic potential means more wealth to share.
How can we get a better read on economic performance?
At the Bank of Canada, we often say we are “data dependent.” It’s not just a nerdy slogan. Good economic data are central to our ability to set the policy interest rate to keep inflation low, stable and predictable.
Yet the economy is getting harder for everyone to gauge as it becomes increasingly digital. Major indicators like inflation, business investment and employment are not fully capturing the digital shift.
Think about online shopping. The Amazon effect has disrupted the retail business and affected pricing behaviour. How can we ensure that measures of inflation incorporate prices from online stores such as Amazon and others? How should we tally up business investment when firms are hiring cloud services instead of installing servers? What is the economic value of data? And how should we assess the state of the labour market in a gig economy?
Statistics Canada is working hard on these questions.
Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada is tapping into the big data made available by digitalization. We’re exploring how to apply artificial intelligence, machine learning and text analytics to predict sectoral economic activity, house prices and turning points in the business cycle, to name a few.
No one has a crystal ball, but it’s our priority to understand and adapt to digitalization so we can do our part to support the economic and financial well-being of Canadians.
Carolyn A. Wilkins is the Senior Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada.

Every year the question is asked: “How early is too early for holiday music?”
This is probably because the feeling of the holidays brings everyone warm happy sentiments and memories especially as the weather gets colder and the evenings get darker and darker earlier each day. While many people draw the line at after Halloween, even though we haven’t celebrated Thanksgiving quite yet, there are some exciting holiday events in DeKalb to at least mark on your calendar even if you’re not one to start playing Bing Crosby on repeat.
The first event that kicks off the holiday season in downtown DeKalb is Santa Comes to Town on Nov. 30 at the Egyptian Theatre. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with cookies, cocoa and caroling with the DeKalb High School Madrigals. Then, at 7 p.m. Santa is ushered into town to open his house in Van Buer Plaza along with the mayor of DeKalb.

Taiwanese fabled chip maker MediaTek have released today their new 5G flagship SoC – Dimensity 1200. And almost immediately the chinese rugged phone manufacturer Ulefone revealed, that they will use this new 5G SoC on their next flagship rugged phone in 2021 – Ulefone Armor 12. Fast and smooth declaration of trust in this new chipset.
Dimensity 1200 adopts 6nm processing technology an it is MediaTek’s first 6nm chipset. Also the first one to use the Cortex-A78 cores. Its CPU has a 1+3+4 configuration with prime A78 core is running at 3.0GHz, plus three more A78 cores clocked at 2.6GHz and the usual quartet of power-efficient A55 cores running at 2.0GHz. The overall CPU performance of Dimensity 1200 is up by 22% and power efficiency by 25%, compared to Dimensity 1000+.
Gizchina News of the week
It boasts a five-core imaging signal processor, that can capture up to 200-megapixel photos and staggered sensor HDR videos. New updated six-core APU 3.0 AI processor will also deliver 12.5% higher performance than its predecessor. Dimensity 1200 integrates MediaTek’s M70 5G modem, which supports 5G (and 5G dual SIM dual standby). And includes Sub-6 band support and carrier aggregation (2CC).
Choosing a powerful chipset is a statement, that Armor 12 will not be cutting any corners with the specs. According to a reliable source, it will pack 12GB+256GB combo, so it may be the first Ulefone rugged phone with 12GB RAM. However, the rest of Ulefone Armor 12 specs are yet to be revealed. But it’s plenty of time for that, cos the release is slated for June 2021. If interested, you can keep an eye on the Ulefone official website for more details soon.

For investors looking to gain exposure to precious metals and resurgent mining companies, all that glitters is not gold. In fact, demand growth combined with shrinking supplies and regional conflicts are making platinum and its sister metal palladium shine brighter.
First a quick primer: platinum and palladium are “sister” elements in the platinum Group Metals (PGM) family. Platinum famously is an upgrade to gold in jewelry, while palladium is used as an alloy to make white gold. Both metals are essential in industrial manufacturing — particularly in the automotive industry. The market for palladium in China is particularly robust.
Strengthening industrial demand for the metals is combining with Russia’s Ukraine crisis and an ongoing miners’ strike in South Africa to create a perfect storm. Russia is the world’s largest producer of palladium and additional economic sanctions could impact exports. In South Africa, the world’s second-largest producer, miners have been on strike for 14 weeks and the action already has had an impact on supply.
In a report out this week, FastMarkets’ analysts revised estimates, forecasting platinum to trade from $1,350-$1,650 an ounce this year, up from $1,280 to $1,650; palladium prices should move between $700 and $$900 an ounce, up from $660 to $862. The higher prices will be supported by growth in global vehicle sales and supply disruptions, the researchers said.
Given the importance of the two white metals to jewelry and industries like automotive, here are three ways to play the likely lower supply of — and higher demand for — platinum and palladium:

Last year, Hogan Lovells and FT Remark interviewed 240 senior decision-makers from public companies across the globe, as part of a research project titled ‘Evolution: Reigniting the Global Economy’. That research highlighted the impact that legislators and policy makers have on businesses in every sector, in every one of the world’s markets — and the pressing need for businesses to actively engage in shaping regulatory policy.
‘Evolution: Shaping Regulation, Unlocking Growth’ is a new Hogan Lovells report that analyses the views of business leaders around the world with regards to the impact of regulations on business. From economic regulation of key sectors to increasingly interventionist, and politically-driven tax legislation, there is a growing boardroom consensus that regulatory policy is one of the key factors holding back – and capable of unlocking – global growth and business success. It is now at the heart of how business leaders conduct their businesses. It is also at the heart of how Hogan Lovells helps its clients to prosper and grow. We help our clients identify emerging policy risks and opportunities to shape policy and governmental decisions to their advantage around the world, in their home markets and much further afield. Working at the intersection of business and government, Hogan Lovells brings to bear policy insight and compelling legal arguments to deliver real results on business-critical matters for complex multi-jurisdictional organizations. – See more on our microsite.

We have been hearing about a monstrous phone being developed by Sony, which sometimes pops up by the name of Odin and sometimes the Yuga, this phone is considered to have a 5″ display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution (Wow). Well some of the specs of this device has been confirmed by a Nenamark benchmark result, which also confirms the 5″ display with before mentioned resolution. Read on to know more about this device.
HTC is going to be one of the headliners to showcase their devices at MWC this year, they will be showcasing the HTC One series of mobile phones and maybe a couple tablets too. We already know about the HTC One X which will be the first quadcore phone running on Tegra 3.

LAS VEGAS--Dell Computer announced three new technology partners Thursday morning, a tip-off that the company plans to branch out into other consumer directions.
Dell named imaging giant Fuji Xerox, photography maven Kodak and electronics powerhouse Samsung as the new partners.
In a keynote address here at the Consumer Electronics Show, founder and CEO Michael Dell said that every time his company enters a new market, prices decrease because of the additional competition and customers benefit. The shift, which Dell called the "Dell Effect," accelerates the adoption of the technology in question, he said.
Dell declined to disclose which product segments the company would enter as a result of the new partnership, although John Hamlin, senior vice president responsible for Dell's consumer business, said that the company would ship digital media adapters and video players before the end of the year. Hamlin also said the company would ship a "receiver", although he did not specify if the device would be an audio receiver or a digital television device.
Hamlin said that Dell's priorities in the consumer market are to enhance the role of the PC, drive adoption of high-speed networks, and promote standardized connections. When Dell does enter a consumer market, the company tries to offer integrated solutions and then provide "lifecycle services", including recycling, he said.
Some analysts have said the company is better at business processes than products, a charge Michael Dell said is largely true. Dell expects to serve 1.4 billion custom-generated Web pages on Dell.com to more than 60 million visitors, he said. By partnering with Lexmark in printers, for example, Dell has sold roughly 2 million units to date and climbed to third in total market share during the third quarter 2003 with a 13 percent market share, Dell said.
Even the way the company looks at innovation follows the company's process-driven mentality.
"Many believe that innovation is about the size of the R&D budget or the amount of products the company produces," Dell said. "At Dell innovation doesn't mean things, it means ideas."
Otherwise, Michael Dell revealed scant details of its product plans for the new year. One exception was the disclosure that Dell plans to add Bluetooth technology to its Axim X3 PDA.

Payment solutions firm Square (SQ) posted its third-quarter results earlier this month, but weak guidance for the upcoming period pushed the stock down despite upbeat results. Here’s a quick roundup.
Square turned to a net income of $0.04 per share from last year’s $0.04-a-share loss, and it even gained from its investment in Eventbrite when the latter got a value bump after the IPO. Revenue also surged 51% in the quarter to hit $882 million.
Square was the answer for street vendors and small business orders to accept credit cards using the phone’s 3.5mm audio port. It soon took off and quickly ventured into microfinancing and even Bitcoin trading.
Square garnered about $43 million from Bitcoin trading, up 26% vs. the $34 million raked in the first quarter of 2018. In January, bitcoin trading was launched in its Cash app, available throughout the US excluding few states. The company expects to garner more revenues from bitcoin trading in the future.
On Tuesday this week, Square had closed 1.83% below its previous day. The stock which hit $61.82 was also below the S&P 500 dip of 1.82% loss.
By Wednesday, the payments solutions firm fell 16.8% from last month, while the tech sector only shed 5.96% and the S&P 500 slipped just 2.57%.
While it looks really bad for Square, we can expect to see a resurrection if we hear some good news by the time it posts its next earnings on Feb. 26, 2019.
Analysts are expecting a quarterly revenue of $910.57 million for the upcoming period, up 47.81% from a year ago. All eyes would be on Square would keep itself relevant and how it would perform this time around.
Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) Thursday said its fourth-quarter profit declined from last year, hurt by a sharp fall in revenues. Earnings, however, beat the market’s projection. On an adjusted
Shares of Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) were down 1% on Thursday. The stock has dropped over 9% year-to-date. Although the tobacco industry has felt the pinch of inflation,
CarMax, Inc. (NYSE:KMX) reported second quarter 2023 earnings results today. Net revenues rose 2% year-over-year to $8.1 billion. Net earnings were $125.9 million, or $0.79 per share, compared to $285.2 million,

This article originally appears in the July 2017 issue of ELLE.
"Talent is equally distributed," social entrepreneur Stacey Boyd says. "It's opportunity that is not." The idea for Olivela—Boyd's new e-commerce site, which donates up to 40 percent of proceeds to children's charities—came to her last summer, when she flew to Kenya and Rwanda to celebrate what is known there as Malala Day, the birthday of 2014 Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, now 19. Traveling with Malala, Boyd met girls in makeshift primary schools in Dadaab, the world's largest refugee camp, and in Mahama, a new camp that provides safe haven to more than 50,000 Burundians, 4,000 of them unaccompanied minors. "There is nothing more stark than realizing that it's a lottery when your child is born," says Boyd, a mother of two. "That they're just really lucky to be born in a place that has so much to offer."
A San Francisco-based former middle-school English teacher and principal with a joint master's degree in business administration and public policy from Harvard, Boyd has already launched several successful initiatives, including Global Learning Ventures, an education consulting firm that works with NGOs in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, and Schoola, a site selling gently worn clothing that supports more than 31,000 schools in the U.S.
The name Olivela comes from the olive tree, a symbol of peace and wisdom, and vela, the Latin word for "ship's sails," to connote setting kids on the right course in life. Selling luxury brands' excess and past-season merch at up to a 40 percent discount, the site offers fashion lovers a chance to invest in children's futures simply by buying the investment pieces they already love. "It's about the beauty of the product, combined with a commitment to nudging the world a little," Boyd says. On the site, a widget tells you exactly where your dollars are going. An $1,100 Edie Parker clutch with "good" spelled out across its acrylic surface, for example, will provide 1,156 days' worth of baby essentials, including strollers, cribs, diapers, and bottles, through Jessica Seinfeld's Good+ Foundation; dance-floor-ready $815 Aquazzura jeweled flats give 12 children access to a school piano through VH1 Save the Music Foundation; and an $805 Salvatore Ferragamo chain-strap shoulder bag will offer 29 days of school for a girl in one of more than a dozen developing countries through the Malala Fund. Best of all: You can give a girl a day of school simply by signing up for the Olivela e-mail list.

This represents an increase of about 135 percent over the 33,155 units sold in the same month last year and a 143 percent increase over the 32,165 units sold in May.
Tesla sold 78,000 China-made vehicles in June, according to preliminary figures released today by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).
That's up about 135 percent from 33,155 vehicles a year ago and up 143 percent from 32,165 vehicles in May.
The CPCA did not provide more details on Tesla's numbers, including the number of vehicles sold in China locally and the number exported, which they expect to be available in the coming days.
Tesla China exported 22,340 vehicles in May and sold 9,825 retail units in China, previous data showed.
Tesla's Shanghai plant produced 33,544 vehicles in May, up 212 percent from April, according to the CPCA. The plant is currently producing only Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
Tesla's wholesale sales in China were just 1,512 units in April because of the Covid lockdown in Shanghai. Its plant in the city produced 10,757 vehicles in April, with zero exports.
Tesla's Shanghai plant stopped production when the city went into a phased lockdown from March 28 and officially resumed limited production on April 19.
Preliminary statistics show that in June, retail sales of passenger vehicles in China were 1.926 million units, up 22 percent from a year earlier and 42 percent from May, the CPCA said.
The introduction of China's purchase tax reduction policy, further relaxation of Covid control and the introduction of local government policies to promote consumption have contributed to the recovery of the car market, the CPCA said.
New energy vehicle (NEV) sales of major manufacturers grew at a high rate in June, with retail sales of NEVs expected to be around 500,000, potentially a record high, the CPCA said, reiterating its previous forecast.
BYD in particular showed superb high-growth momentum and became a role model for mainstream manufacturers transitioning to the new energy sector, the CPCA said.
BYD sold a record 134,036 NEVs in June, the fourth consecutive month of more than 100,000 units, according to figures released by the company on July 3.
That's up 224.02 percent from 41,366 units a year ago and up 16.61 percent from 114,943 units in May.
BYD ceased production and sales of conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in March of this year, thereby focusing on the production of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs).
The continued strength of A00- and A0-class EVs is driving the development of EVs for mainstream car companies, a clear indication of the benefits of electrification, the CPCA said.
