Velodyne LiDAR seems to be preparing for its IPO. The company “has hired bankers for an initial public offering,” Reuters said. According to the report, Velodyne LiDAR has chosen Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Royal Bank of Canada, and William Blair to work on its potential exchange listing.
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth doesn't drive an electric car, but the Dow energy giant is investing in charging stations. His truck could get an electric model soon.
San Jose-based lidar pioneer Velodyne LiDAR has reportedly hired four bankers to help the company go public, possibly as soon as this year, with a valuation of $1.8 billion.
In December 2017, we saw a sharp rally in almost all asset classes as markets started pricing in what many called “synchronized global growth” for 2018. However, as 2018 started drawing to a close, fears of a synchronized global slowdown hit markets. All leading economies were expected to grow at a slower pace in 2019 as compared to 2018.
Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") assigned a Baa1 rating to Omnicom Finance Holdings plc's ("Omnicom Finance") proposed senior unsecured euro notes offering targeting 8 to 12 year maturities of up to E1 billion (USD1.14 billion equivalent). Omnicom Finance is domiciled in London, UK and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Omnicom Group, Inc. ("Omnicom" or the "company"). Omnicom's Baa1 long-term debt rating and stable outlook remain unchanged.
Why should investing be a rich man’s game? If you’re looking to invest, but haven’t got the budget to go all-in on Amazon (AMZN) or Alphabet (GOOGL), there are plenty of stocks available featuring low prices and high expectations. Now that markets are surging back to their record levels, with the S&P 500 at 2,950, let’s use TipRanks’ data to take a close look at four bargain investments, stocks priced at $10 and under yet sporting ‘Buy’ ratings. Asure Software, Inc. (ASUR)This small software company, focusing on HCM (human capital management) and workspace management systems, is coming off an excellent first quarter. The company reported revenues for Q1 2019 at $26.8 million, for a 39% year-over-year gain, and a 44% year-over-year gain in customer bookings. Company CEO Pat Goepel described the quarter as having “solid momentum,” said that Asure is “focused on accelerating the velocity of our cross-selling opportunities and scaling our business.” Major new clients include Kids Care Home Health of Idaho, and the City of Paterson, New Jersey. Full-year revenue guidance remains in the range of $104 to $107 million.Wall Street’s analysts are impressed, by both the company’s prospects and its recent history. ASUR shares are up more than 50% year-to-date, and the company’s revenue guidance represents an 18% increase over FY18. Writing from Northland Securities, Robert Breza said last month: “We are assuming coverage of Asure Software Inc. with an unchanged $12 PT and Outperform rating following solid Q1 results which topped estimates on the top and bottom line.” Breza’s $12 price target indicates a 52% upside to the stock.Just last week, Barrington’s Vincent Colicchio set a ‘Buy’ on ASUR based on future outlook for the stock. Colicchio noted, “We expect Asure to achieve rapid organic and acquisition‐related growth over the next several years in the HCM and WM software markets. Asure has many opportunities to increase revenue at existing clients due to its growing product portfolio…” His price target, $15, suggests an upside of 90% for ASUR.Overall, ASUR gets a ‘Moderate Buy’ from the analyst consensus, based on 2 buy ratings in the past three months. There are no holds or sells on this stock. The average price target is $13.50, indicative of a 71% upside from the current share price of $7.86.View ASUR Price Target & Analyst Ratings Detail Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (BBCP)Based in Denver, Colorado, Concrete Pumping Holdings operates in both the US and the UK, offering – you guessed it! – concrete pumping services in the construction industry. In addition to pumping, the company also offers concrete waste management services, an important subsidiary service for customers in the concrete industry. Concrete Pumping offers its customers an equipment rental option, allowing the customer to save money on overhead while Concrete Pumping benefits from faster payment schedules on its products.BBCP went public two years ago, and this past May put an additional 15 million common stock shares on the market. The new shares were offered to raise funds to finance the acquisition of Capital Pumping, with any extra funds being used to augment corporate working capital. The stock offering and acquisition were both completed last month.Analyst Andrew Wittman, of Baird, gave BBCP a ‘Buy’ rating during last month’s stock offering, specifically noting the company’s “…track record of gaining share versus alternatives, the company's unique scale advantages and its rental model, which offers low risk and fast cash conversion.” He added that, at current price level, he would buy this stock. His $7 price target suggests a strong upside of 58%.Also weighing in was Stifel’s Stanley Elliott. He set a $9 price target with his ‘Buy’ rating, saying that, “The company has meaningful opportunity to expand through mild secular growth in concrete pumping, footprint expansion and cross-selling of waste services, and numerous acquisition roll-up opportunities.” His price target gives BBCP an impressive 103% upside.With 4 buy ratings assigned it in the last three months, BBCP holds a ‘Strong Buy’ from the analyst consensus. The stock sells for $4.42, so the average price target of $8.33 gives it an 88% upside potential.View BBCP Price Target & Analyst Ratings Detail Fitbit, Inc. (FIT)Fitbit stands at the junction of two great trends – our desire to be healthy, and our desire to have the latest gadgets. Fitbit’s gadget is the application of wearable tech to activity tracking, allowing you to count your steps, monitor your heartrate, or even check the quality of your sleep – and to follow your data over time. In short, it’s intended to make easier to track the quality and efficacy of your exercise and diet.With increased hedge fund activity – the major funds increased their holdings in FIT by 3.73 million shares last quarter – it would seem that Fitbit’s low share price is attracting investment. The company’s reputation helps, too – industry bloggers have a bullish outlook on FIT, while news sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.This is all reflected in the analyst reviews, which have been consistently positive on FIT for several months. Writing at the beginning of May, Andrew Uerkwitz of Oppenheimer, said, “We believe FIT has taken its first steps in generating regular recurring revenue from the healthcare and wellness industry. We like what we heard regarding Fitbit Health Solutions and see it as a first step towards a more meaningful business transformation. We expect it to take time, but as Health Solutions and other services start to ramp, we expect to see more predictability in results.” Uerkwitz’s $8 price target suggests an upside of 78% to FIT.Also writing in May, DA Davidson analyst Tom Forte noted benefits coming from the company's “…latest partnering announcement with the UnitedHealthcare's (UNH) Motion effort through its Charge 3 tracker device participation.” Forte set a $7 price target, pointing to a 56% upside.FIT’s analyst consensus rating is a ‘Moderate Buy,’ based on 2 buys, 1 hold, and 1 sell given during the last three months. FIT shares sell for just $4.48, but the average price target of $6.25 suggests an upside potential of 39%.View FIT Price Target & Analyst Ratings Detail Ford Motor Company (F)Our last stock hails from Detroit, the Motor City, where more than a century ago Henry Ford created the modern assembly line, revolutionized the automotive industry, and made his car company one of the industry’s storied names.The auto industry is entering a transitional period. Changes in customer taste and the political regulatory climate are pushing the development and improvement of electric vehicle technology, while advances in AI are slowly turning self-driving cars – once the domain of science fiction – into a reality. Ford Motor is implementing a $4 billion initiative to develop an autonomous car division, with $1 billion going toward developing the requisite software and automation tech in partnership with Argo AI, and a further $900 million slated to expand manufacturing facilities in Michigan. At the same time, Ford is developing and marketing a line of electric hybrid and plug-in vehicles based on existing frames.All of this is supported by a successful line of SUVs and light trucks. Ford’s F-series pickups are perennial leaders in their niche, and provide the company with a solid foundation of sales and revenue.With such a strong background, it’s no wonder that Merrill Lynch’s John Murphy upgraded his stance on Ford stock last month, bumping it from ‘neutral’ to ‘buy.’ His price target, $14, suggests a 40% upside to the stock.More recently, on June 13, Goldman Sachs analyst David Tamberrino sees the company’s overall plan helping it to regain revenue and market share in Europe. He says, “…working through the potential margin enhancement opportunity, we think the company can generate over 4% operating margins through-the-cycle in Europe post restructuring actions…” Tamberrino’s price target of $13 would indicate a 30% upside to Ford shares.Ford holds a ‘Moderate Buy’ rating from the analyst consensus, based on an even split of 5 buys and 5 holds, with 1 sell. Shares are currently priced at $9.99, so the average target of $11.35 indicates room for a 13% upside.View F Price Target & Analyst Ratings DetailStart your own stock research with Stock Screener, the all-in-one tool that puts the entire TipRanks database at your fingertips.
Yesterday, Winnebago Industries (WGO) released its third-quarter results for fiscal 2019. After yielding solid returns of 75.7% in 2017, Winnebago stock tanked 56.5% in 2018. Last year, the company’s rising dealer inventories and inflating costs due to trade war tariffs hurt investors’ sentiments.
Shares of U.S. auto giant Ford (NYSE:F) have sputtered lower over the past several years, with Ford stock price today about $10 versus $17 about five years ago. The reason that Ford stock price today is so low is the company's unfavorable and deteriorating fundamentals.Source: Shutterstock In a nutshell, Ford is losing market share to electric-vehicle players, in a shrinking auto market challenged by the sharing economy. Moreover, its margins are under pressure from rising costs and slowing growth. The net result has been profit erosion. Ford's pre-tax profits in 2015 were north of $10 billion. In 2018, they were under $4.5 billion. * Top 7 Dow Jones Stocks of 2019 -- So Far Thus, the multi-year downtrend in Ford stock and the weakness of Ford stock price today are easily explained by a lack of fundamental and financial strength over the past several years.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsBut, while things have been bad for Ford stock, they won't be bad forever. Indeed, the fundamentals underlying Ford stock could dramatically improve over the next several years. If they do, profit growth will come back into the picture, and that should spark a reasonably large rally in Ford stock, enabling the shares to ruse meaningfully above the depressed levels of Ford stock price today.The takeaway is that investors should buy Ford stock today because things are bound to get better for Ford. The Fundamentals Have Been AwfulThere's no way to sugarcoat the outlook which has driven Ford stock price lower the past several years. In simple terms, its outlook has been very bad.First, Ford is losing market share. There are a few things at play here. But the biggest thing is that competition from electric vehicles is ramping, and Ford has failed to keep up with the competition. Thus, as electric cars have become more popular, Ford has lost market share.Second, F is losing market share in a shrinking market. The auto market had been steadily expanding for several years. But, for the first time in several decades, car-ownership rates in the U.S. are shrinking. That's because of the rise of the sharing economy and ride-sharing apps, which have lessened the need for urban residents to own a car. With that need down, car-ownership rates have dropped slightly, and the auto market's steady growth has tapered off.Third, Ford's margins have been under pressure. The auto industry doesn't have high profit margins, so any cost pressures are really felt on the bottom line. F has unfortunately encountered multiple cost pressures over the past several years, ranging from lower prices to capacity additions to rising technology costs. On top of slowed revenue growth, these cost pressures caused its profits to drop meaningfully.Overall, then, the outlook of Ford stock over the past several years has become really bad. That's why Ford stock price today is just $10. But the bull thesis on Ford stock here and now is centered around the idea that this outlook is in the early stages of reversing course. Ford's Fundamentals Will ImproveThere are multiple reasons to believe that the outlook of Ford stock - which has been depressed for the past five years - will improve in a meaningful way over the next five years.First, on the market-share front, F is aggressively pivoting into next-generation vehicles. This pivot is centered around developing 40 hybrid and electric vehicle models by 2022, the sum of which should help Ford hold its own in the electric-vehicle market. Further, Ford is a leading player in autonomous driving, and it just agreed to partner with Volkswagen (OTC:VWAGY) on self-driving technology.Second, when it comes to the overall auto market,the negative trend of the sharing economy should be partially offset by low interest rates and reduced trade tensions. At the present moment, trade tensions between the U.S. and China are deescalating. The most likely outcome is a resolution of the dispute within the next few months. If such a resolution occurs, global auto demand will stabilize. Further, it looks like a Fed rate cut is on the way. Thus, for the foreseeable future, the U.S. economy will be defined by low borrowing costs, which is favorable for the auto market.Third, on the margin front, F is launching multiple restructuring initiatives across its various international businesses, the sum of which should cut costs and turn those money-losing businesses into money-making ones. At the same time, the company is cutting the costs of its already profitable U.S. business, and those efforts should similarly improve its profit margins. As a result, Ford's margins should start to trend higher from today's depressed base.Overall, the three major headwinds, which have weighed on Ford stock over the past several years, should reverse course over the next several years, ultimately sparking a rebound by F stock from the low Ford stock price today . The Bottom Line on F StockThe fundamentals and outlook of Ford stock have been depressed for several years. That's why F stock has dropped from $17 to $10 over the past five years. But current trends indicate that Ford's fundamentals will improve over the next few years. As they do, Ford stock should rally meaningfully from the low levels of Ford stock price today.As of this writing, Luke Lango was long F.

(Bloomberg) -- Workers at a major auto parts plant in Michigan are poised to return to work after a brief strike Friday, alleviating the threat of a supply disruption for carmakers Ford Motor Co., Tesla Inc. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV.The United Auto Workers called the strike early Friday morning after failing to reach a tentative contract agreement with Faurecia SA. A tentative deal has been reached, Misty Matthews, a Faurecia spokeswoman, said by phone.Faurecia’s plant in Saline, about 40 miles west of Detroit, employs 1,900 UAW members. The factory makes instrument panels, center consoles and other parts and supplies them to Ford, Tesla and Fiat Chrysler.To contact the reporter on this story: Kyle Lahucik in Southfield at email@example.comTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Craig Trudell at firstname.lastname@example.org, David WelchFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.
Kudos to Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas for finding the accurate but elegant way of describing the headache investors suffer in trying to figure out what to do with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). He explains of handicapping TSLA stock, "We continue to believe Tesla is fundamentally overvalued, but potentially strategically undervalued."Source: Shutterstock What that means (to Jonas) for the shares -- and, consequently, the shareholders -- from here isn't a whole lot. That is to say, whatever blend of fundamentals and strategic value Morgan Stanley is using has prompted the firm to set its target price at $230, or or about $10 above the current price. The target is also un-bravely in the middle of a rather well-established trading range.Nevertheless, the assessment perfectly pegs the sum total of several contradictions that have been vexing Tesla stock investors for years now.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Short-Sighted Self-Driving ThinkingJonas, for the record, thinks it's Tesla's self-driving arm that's largely underappreciated by Wall Street, and Main Street … a premise that Ark Invest analyst Tasha Keeney agrees with. She explained in a CNBC interview on Wednesday: "We think the autonomous driving market is going to be a huge opportunity. We think this should be valued at $2 trillion today in the equity markets, and it's virtually unaccounted for. We think Tesla has a great lead there, and that's because of the data advantage that they have."Keeney specifically named Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) as names Tesla was besting on the autonomous driving front. * 7 Top-Rated Biotech Stocks to Invest In Today The analysts' arguments hold some water. But, neither addressed a more philosophical aspect of the matter: What's Tesla doing with the tech?The answer is, of course, making its in-house self-driving platform better, but to what end? If consumers don't want (or can't afford) a Tesla, a superior self-driving platform is irrelevant. Tesla isn't doing anything else with the know-how. Alphabet's Waymo and GM's Cruise are also at least the basis of a robo-taxi service that doesn't require consumer sales of vehicles to monetize. Ditto for Ford Motor (NYSE:F).Thus far, Tesla has shown no interest in selling or leasing its self-driving technologies to third parties, while former partner Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) subsidiary are providing off-the-shelf solutions to carmakers tiptoeing into the arena.In other words, how is Tesla going to claim its piece of the $2 trillion market Keeney sees on the horizon? If the company intends to continue doing everything by itself and only for itself, the scope of the autonomous driving opportunity means little. Other Contradictions Cloud Investment CaseIt's not just a glaring lack of clarity on the self-driving front that keeps current and would-be TSLA stock buyers on edge. Analysts can't agree on plausible future demand either.Case in point: Goldman Sachs just cut its price target on TSLA to $158 from $200, explaining, "we see a lower probability of the company achieving our upside volume scenarios; we believe a downward path for shares will resume as it becomes more clear that sustainable demand for the company's current products are below expectations."That's in direct conflict, however, with an assessment that Piper Jaffray posted earlier this month, noting, "We understand why some investors consider the stock un-investable, but of all the reasons to doubt our overweight thesis, we think weak demand is among the least convincing." Goldman Sachs specifically cited lower tax subsidies as a reason demand was facing a headwind.Indeed, even with the modest tax credit of $3,750 available until the end of this month, Tesla's Model 3 has widened its U.S. sales lead on other EVs despite net cost for these Model 3's being greater than net sticker prices for alternatives.Consumers want Teslas, even if they have to pay a little more to get one.Even analysts themselves are conflicted, not as to how ownership-worthy TSLA stock may be, but whether or not it's ownership-worthy at all. * 5 Stocks to Buy for $20 or Less As of the most recent look, the lowest analyst price target sits at $140, while the highest lies at $585. And, of the 31 analysts following the company, 12 are rating it at a "sell" or worse, while another dozen are calling it a "buy" or better. Looking Ahead for TSLA StockThis is a key part of the reason TSLA shares have been so incredibly volatile. More often than not they're precariously balanced on the fence, and even the slightest of nudges can knock them off. Sometimes they land on the bearish side of the fence, and sometimes the bullish.Regardless, Tesla stock's usually quite quick to climb back on the fence of uncertainty, with the horde on 'the other side' screaming their case a little louder when they start to lose ground.The good news is, the never-ending conundrum has proven helpful to traders even if it's been agonizing to traders. That is, several trading ranges have taken shape over the years, and now is no exception. While last month's reversal was seemingly prodded by headlines, a longer-term look at the chart reveals that bottom lines up with a floor around $179 that's been in seen several times since 2014. If the bulls continue to get traction, the ultimate ceiling is right around $390.Not surprisingly, the consensus target of around $280 is squarely in the middle of the trading range. The analyst community has collectively hedged its bet on TSLA, underscoring the idea that nobody really knows what to make of this name.As of this writing, James Brumley held no position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey confirmed to investors that Bitcoin will be a “big part” of the company’s future, as it sees opportunities to integrate cryptocurrency into existing Twitter products and services, including merchandise, subscriptions and other new additions such as Twitter Tip Jar. Great follows.
Dorsey has been a staunch Bitcoin advocate for years, but how it will be implemented on Twitter’s platform has not yet been revealed in detail. However, Dorsey often tipped cryptocurrency in public, saying it reminded her of the “early days of the Internet” and that “nothing more important” worked for her in her lifetime.
Most recently, Dorsey launched and announced a .6 23.6 million bitcoin fund with Jay Z. Plans To draw its other company Square into the decentralized financial services market through Bitcoin. Square also acquired a majority stake in J-Z’s Tidal Music Service this year on how blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies can change the music business.
Today, Dorsey also cites Bitcoin as one of the three main trends for the future of Twitter, along with AI and decentralization – the latter of which Twitter has furthered through its “Bluesky” initiative.
He offered Bitcoin to investors on Twitter’s second-quarter earnings call and said it could help the company move faster in terms of expanding its product, while explaining that it is the “best candidate” to become the “native currency” of the Internet. (Incidentally, Square’s ખરીદી 50 million bitcoin purchase in 2020 was 25 253 million as of February 2021, and he bought 170 million more earlier this year.)
“If the Internet has a local currency, a global currency, we can move very fast with products like superfollowers, commerce, subscriptions, tip jars, and instead we can reach everyone on the planet. Dorsey explained that the market-by-market-by-market approach should go down. “I think this is a big part of our future. I think there is a lot of innovation just to come up with the currency, especially as we think about making social media more decentralized and providing more economic incentives. So I think it’s very important for Twitter and Twitter shareholders that we keep looking at space and invest aggressively in it, “he added.
A Twitter representative confirmed that this is the first time Dorsey has spoken publicly about how Twitter can integrate Bitcoin into its product lineup.
Dorsey also noted that Twitter will not be alone in pursuing a crypto strategy, noting that Facebook supports digital currency diamonds.
“There is a clear need for this, and appreciation for it. And I think the basic trend of the internet is an open standard is the right way to go, that’s why my focus and our focus will ultimately be on Bitcoin, ”he noted.
Overall, Twitter made strong earnings after the epidemic resumed, with the company recording its fastest revenue growth since 2014. According to CNBC, Twitter’s shares rose 9% in extended trading. The company pulled Q2 revenue from its advertising business to 1. 19 1.19 billion, compared to the majority (5 1.05 billion) expected revenue of 1. 1.07 billion. It also saw earnings per share of 20 cents versus the expected 7 cents.
However, monetized daily active users (MDAUs) – Twitter’s own detected metric, meant to always fluff in monthly user growth – were only તે 206 million, up 11% year-on-year, while analysts estimated 206.2 million. has been doing. The company blamed the slow news cycle and the declining end of asylum in many communities in the U.S., which could affect Twitter’s use during the quarter.

Sony's Peter Edward has revealed seven million people have now signed up for PlayStation Home.
Edward, who is platform director for the service, was speaking at the Develop conference in Brighton. He said the figure includes three million people in Europe alone.
However, the estimated figure for those returning to the online space more than once stands at around 25-30 per cent of the 20 million PSN account holders, according to Edward, although he pointed out the stats "aren't definitive" and are constantly changing.
While the space saw massive interest when it first launched, numbers subsequently tailed off due to lack of content, says Edward, but are building as that content now grows. While the Sony director couldn't confirm how many users are online at any one time, he said it's "many thousands".
Since Home launched seven months ago, European users have downloaded six million pieces of merchandise. Yes, said Edward, some of those were free, but make no mistake: "This is a commercial business, it is up and running and it is making money."
According to information previously released by Sony, Home made over one million dollars from micro-transactions in its first month. While more current figures weren't being divulged by the company today, it says it will look to make the information available in the future.
Edward went onto confirm that "only" 80 per cent of Home users are 18 to 35 year-old males. That might sound like a lot, he said, but think about the typical age and gender of the average console gamer. "Home is slowly broadening the appeal of the console market out to a widening demographic," he added.
The average time a European user spends on Home in a single session is 56 minutes. "In terms of exposure and people's attention, that is a huge amount of time," said Edward.
It hasn't been easy, of course - "Obviously there have been a lot of trials and tribulations along the way," the exec conceded. However, "Now, we're starting to see a huge amount of content coming into the platform... Content is arriving which we didn't even know was being developed."
Update: GamesIndustry.biz has clarified that the 25 - 30 per cent figure cited by Edward refers to the number of PSN account holders who have visited Home more than once.

Boro cultivation rises on higher prices
Rice cultivation has increased during the current Boro season as farmers have been encouraged by higher prices for the kitchen staple.
Total acreage of the irrigation based crop rose 3 per cent year-on-year to 48.83 lakh hectares from 47.62 lakh hectares the previous year, according to estimates by the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE).
"Because of the increased price of rice, farmers have allocated a larger portion of land, where they grew maize and wheat earlier, for Boro rice cultivation," said DAE Director General Md Asadullah.
The chief of the department said the latest estimate of acreage is final.
"Crop conditions look excellent. We expect a good crop unless there is no natural calamity before harvesting," he added.
Harvested mainly in the April-May period, Boro rice accounted for 54 per cent of total production of 3.65 crore tonnes of rice in fiscal 2019-20, data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics showed.
During the current fiscal year beginning from July, agricultural production suffered because of repeated floods that fueled price hikes for the staple grains amid concerns and speculation among farmers, millers and trades of reduced yields of Aman, which provided 39 per cent of the total rice output in fiscal 2019-20.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) last month said output from two rice crops -- Boro and Aus -- had been good because of generally favourable weather conditions in 2020.
However, production of Aman crop, harvested by the end of last year, was estimated to be at its lowest level in three years due to flash floods between July and August, it added.
The UN agency said favourable weather conditions since the beginning of November 2020, strong domestic prices, ample supplies of irrigation water, above-average June to October monsoon rains and support for planting activities benefitted crop germination.
It also said the government encouraged hybrid rice cultivation through a series of measures, including financial support and provision of hybrid seeds to increase productivity this season.
Asadullah said the incentive brought about results. Farmers planted hybrid rice on 12 lakh hectares this season, up 33 per cent from 9 lakh hectares the previous year, said the DAE Chief.
Farmers are also turning to some new varieties of rice.
"Farmers respond positively and increase cultivation when prices remain high as they expect profitable prices," said Jahangir Alam, an agricultural economist.
"There may be a dispute about the actual acreage but it is true that farmers have cultivated the grains on a higher area of land after Aman rice production dropped for floods," he added.
On March 10, the FAO said the price of rice had been steady in February and were well above their earlier-year levels.
The UN agency said in Dhaka markets, rice prices held steady in February and were 40 per cent higher than that of a year earlier.
Prices saw a continuous increase in the previous 11 months, reflecting tight market supply following stagnant production for three consecutive years, limited imports and strong demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Now the question is whether farmers will get fair prices for their produce," he said citing the arrival of rice imported by the food ministry and private traders.
Until March 15, the total amount of rice imported was 5 lakh tonnes, data from the food ministry showed.
Alam said the government has plans to allow imports of 10-15 lakh tonnes of rice, which may affect farmers in the coming harvest.
"This is the concern," he said. "The government should ensure that growers are getting profitable prices."
He added that the government should buy 10 per cent of the paddy grown by farmers for 20 per cent higher prices than the cost of production.
"The government can hire private sector entities to store the grains as it does not have enough capacity. It can also use godowns of the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation to store grains," he said.

Budweiser has replaced E.ON as the sponsor of the FA Cup. The beer company, which is owned by Belgium-based Anheuser-Busch InBev, has secured a three-year deal to sponsor football's oldest domestic cup competition.
The FA general secretary, Alex Horne, believes the partnership with Budweiser can help take the FA Cup "to the next level" in its global reach.
Horne said: "We are extremely pleased to have secured an iconic brand such as Budweiser to be the lead partner of the FA Cup. Like the FA Cup, Budweiser has a proud heritage and a long history of being involved in football.
"Furthermore, given the global reach of this sponsorship we will see the FA Cup promoted around the world like never before, which is great for the fans and the players.
"The FA Cup is already a much-loved competition around the world and we look forward to building on that passion with Budweiser. It is very important to take the FA Cup to the next level. It is a massively cherished competition.
"We believe it has a real global reach. That is why we are so pleased to have signed up with a global partner."
With Budweiser replacing E.ON as the main sponsor, both of England's cup competitions are now sponsored by beer companies since Carling is the title sponsor of the League Cup.
In a new initiative, Budweiser have agreed with the FA for fans to vote for the official man of the match.
Budweiser will dedicate a portion of sponsorship funding to working with the FA to develop "a bespoke programme promoting responsible drinking to football fans". They will also partner the FA on a community initiative that will provide essential equipment to teams in the early rounds of the competition.
The Budweiser global vice-president, Jason Warner, said: "We're looking forward to sharing our passion for the beautiful game, bringing the FA Cup closer to fans around the world through an exciting programme of activity."

Boutique post-production facility Colorflow provided color correction and final post services for a spot for Mennen’s Speed Stick deodorant that became a surprise hit during this year’s Super Bowl broadcast.
Conceived and produced by Ryactive, an independent creative boutique based in Oakland, Unattended Laundry is set in a busy Laundromat, where an impatient young man removes another customer’s clothes from a dryer after they’ve finished spinning. The guy is caught red-handed, or rather yellow-handed, as the owner of the clothes walks up to find him clutching a pair of her canary-colored panties. He’s embarrassed but it doesn’t show, thanks to Speed Stick.
The spot was an unexpected entry in this year’s lineup of Super Bowl ads. The spot originally ran on Hulu and its popularity there prompted Mennen parent Colgate-Palmolive to run it on the world’s biggest advertising venue.
For Ryactive, placing the spot on the Super Bowl was akin to winning the lottery. “It’s gotten phenomenal exposure,” says Ryan Pamplin, the agency’s founder and creative director. “Our phone has been ringing off the hook.”
Colorflow’s role was to give the spot a broadcast quality finish. Colorist Alexander MacLean put the spot through final color correction on an Assimilate Scratch system. He also conformed the spot, added graphics and applied the final sound mix, allowing Ryactive to walk out of the session with a fully finished commercial.
“Colorflow delivered top-notch, triple A quality,” recalls David Brashear, the spot’s director. “The turnaround was fast and the results were much better than we would have gotten from a larger facility that wouldn’t have given us as much personal attention.”
In fact, Pamplin and Brashear sat in on the color session working with MacLean, fine-tuning the details in real-time. “It was a pleasure working with Ryan to enhance his creative vision and reinforce the brand’s identify through color,” MacLean says.
Pamplin says that Colorflow’s work was an essential part of readying the spot for the big game. “This commercial followed a very interesting path,” he notes, “and everything that happened along the way, including the work that was done at Colorflow, contributed to its getting picked up for the Super Bowl.”

Microsoft is carrying on the crusade of making its apps ready for Windows 11, with Outlook also seeing a refresh that’s being prepared for a preview release.
The email app has been in many forms since it was bought by Microsoft in 1997 for an estimated $400 million. Dubbed ‘Project Monarch’, this new Outlook is seen as a reboot of what came before, and how users are going to manage their email across Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Nowadays, there’s plenty of ways that you can access your home and work email, through a web browser or your smartphone, and there’s many mail apps available, which is why Microsoft thinks it’s time for another iteration of Outlook.
The unification of Mail
Similar to Snipping Tool and Snip and Sketch, Microsoft has a habit of releasing more than one app that achieves the same function, and Mail is yet another example.
On Windows 8 and above, you can use an app called Windows Mail, which houses a design that’s reminiscent of the Metro user interface that Microsoft was pushing across many apps in 2012. However, you can also go to your Microsoft 365 account and access your mail through Outlook, or download an application called Outlook as well.
One Outlook on two Windows
This is part of the new ‘One Outlook’ project that Microsoft is working on – finally consolidating the Mail apps into one unified application that can manage your mail across Windows 10 and Windows 11, without another mail app being installed and potentially confusing matters.
It makes sense for the new Outlook to be released on both Windows 10 and 11, as mail is a primary reason for why many users have a PC in their office. To have the same design on both operating systems could also entice some to upgrade to Windows 11, knowing that they won’t have to teach themselves how to use another Mail app.
Since the days of MSN Hotmail and Windows Live, Microsoft has had a great opportunity here to build upon the success of Outlook, as its app on both Android and iOS has been highly received. It’s able to manage different email accounts with ease, while giving users a lot of customization in deleting emails, creating folders and much more. The new Outlook should build upon this in Windows 10 and Windows 11, and leave Windows Mail in the dust as a relic of Windows 8.
While this new One Outlook isn’t available as yet, it’s most likely that it will be as we approach the release of Windows 11, rumored to be in October.

The owners of a bike shop in Groningen have been fined €22,000 for refusing to open on Sundays.
Co-owners Martin Haijkens and Peter Oest who run the shop in the Paddepoel shopping centre, refused to open on Sundays so they could have a day off.
However, the shopping centre owners association took them to court, arguing that all shopkeepers have to open on Sundays. The men also cancelled their membership of the owners association.
The court in Groningen ruled that Haijkens and Oest could not cancel the membership with immediate effect and ruled they have to pay back contributions as well as the fines. The total bill amounts to some €22,000. They were also ordered to pay €3,000 in legal costs.
According to regional broadcaster RTV Noord, the duo plan to appeal against the conviction. ‘We are absolutely not going to pay,’ Oest said.
Haijkens told broadcaster NOS before the trial took place: ‘It’s not only about our refusal to open up on Sunday but also the obligation to open on Thursday evening. We have been dealing with this since 2014. We are open 53 hours a week. That is enough. With our staffing levels we simply can’t put in the extra hours.’

In accordance with past practices, Apple will bring you a new generation of iPhone, phones, in the fall.
However, according to related reports, due to some foreign feudal superstitions, Apple will skip the naming of the iPhone 13, and name this year’s new machine the iPhone 12s series, and next year’s new opportunity will be called the iPhone 14 series.
Recently, a whistleblower brought high-definition renderings of the iPhone 12s Pro series, showing the appearance of the machine and a new color scheme.
According to the picture, the rear camera module of the iPhone 12s Pro, series will adopt an integrated design, and will be blackened, and the overall visual experience will be more coordinated.
Compared with the very abrupt design of the current iPhone 12 series, it is more beautiful.
In addition, the rear camera area of the iPhone 12s Pro series will also adopt a crater-like transition design similar to the iPhone 7 era, with AG frosted glass craftsmanship, and the texture of the whole machine is greatly improved compared to the iPhone 12 series.
In addition to the changes in the ID design on the back, previous news also said that the iPhone 12s Pro screen will also usher in changes.
It is expected to use the latest D-ToF (Direct ToF) technology to replace the existing Face ID components, which will enable 3D The volume of the structured light sensing module is correspondingly reduced, thereby reducing the area of the screen bangs.
At the same time, the screen quality of the iPhone 12s Pro will also be further upgraded. It will be equipped with an LTPO screen provided by Samsung.
This technology can support a higher refresh rate and greatly reduce screen power consumption. It can also support intelligent adjustment of the screen refresh rate. Realize automatic switching between 1-120Hz.
Most importantly, there have been reports from many sources that Apple will equip the iPhone 12s Pro series with on-screen fingerprint recognition, because the epidemic has led to a very poor Face ID unlocking experience when people wear masks, and the addition of on-screen fingerprints will greatly improve iPhone unlocking. Experience is worth looking forward to.

AT&T-Time Warner Merger Could See Individualized TV ads Cropping Up
Targeting people with individualized TV commercials using cable or satellite boxes has been promoted as the future of television for at least a decade. But the business, known as addressable TV advertising, has remained on the fringes, usually limited to two minutes of local commercial time an hour on cable shows.
Now, AT&T and Time WarnerAT&T and Time Warner are pointing to targeted advertising as a major benefit of their proposed $85 billion (U.S.) ($113 billion Canadian) merger. Jeffrey L. Bewkes, the chief executive of Time Warner, and Randall L. Stephenson, AT&T’s chief executive, highlighted the vast trove of consumer data their combined companies would have in a call with investors on Monday, and its usefulness for both marketers and consumers.
Viewers, with new subscription options, could enjoy fewer interruptions and see ads for “the products you’re interested in, not the ones you don’t need to see,” Bewkes said. National advertisers would presumably pay more to reach them and have an alternative to spending on Google and Facebook.
Targeted advertising has become commonplace on streaming services like Hulu or platforms like YouTube, where, for example, women in their 20s may see ads for birth control, pregnancy tests or certain movie trailers. Advertisers hope things could potentially move even beyond that on TV, with people seeing ads based on, for instance, their location or individual interests, much like what happens on the Internet.
Still, skepticism over whether the AT&T-Time Warner merger will normalize the practice for traditional TV is rife within the ad industry.
“As to the question of whether this is a new route for advertising and another opportunity for targeted addressable TV advertising, the answer is it’s going to take a significant period of time,” said Martin Sorrell, chief executive of the advertising giant WPP, pointing to the risks around regulation and combining the two companies. “It’s possible, but implementing it is not going to be easy.”
Tailored advertising is a generally accepted part of the Internet experience — consumers see it daily on Facebook or through banner ads, where it has become common for a specific shirt or bag placed in an online shopping cart to haunt a person for weeks, even after it has been purchased. But traditional TV has largely continued to advertise in broad swaths, showing ads to demographics like 18- to 49-year-old men.
Rishad Tobaccowala, chief strategist for the Publicis Groupe, questioned whether new targeting capabilities could improve the health of the TV ad business overall, pointing to this season’s reduction in commercials on “Saturday Night Live” and the drop in ratings for National Football League games.
“The reality of it is, we’re moving into a world where consumers are turning against advertising,” Tobaccowala said.
Stephen B. Burke, chief executive of NBCUniversal, speaking on Comcast’s earnings call on Wednesday, said that the TV group has been working to developing advanced advertising products but that the process was difficult.
“But it’s clear what advertisers want,” he said. “They want to combine the data intensity of Internet advertising with the clear value and ability to change peoples’ perceptions that you get with a television ad.”
Others see great potential for advertising in the merger, which would marry AT&T’s more than 100 million subscribers across its wireless, broadband and DirecTV properties, with Time Warner’s offerings, which include CNN, TBS, Cartoon Network, the website Bleacher Report, HBO and Warner Bros. Pictures.
Rob Norman, chief digital officer of WPP’s GroupM, a major media investment group, said the success of targeted advertising would hinge on cost. He offered the example of a home improvement business advertising grass seed in places like Arizona and Montana, which have significantly different climates. That advertising could be further tailored for whether viewers lived in a condominium versus a suburban home with a lawn, he said.
“If you believe in a future where the very, very fine targeting of households or individuals with specific messaging makes economic sense to do at scale, what this merger does is enable that by making more audience available to target in that way,” Norman said. “The question will be: What is the premium for addressability for that level of targeting that the advertiser is willing to pay?”
Even as DIRECTV, purchased by AT&T for nearly $50 billion last year, and others have sought to improve targeting and analytics on cable in recent years, it has remained a “relatively patchwork” operation that is often time-consuming and inefficient, said Tim Hanlon, founder and chief executive of the Vertere Group, a media consulting firm. “It’s probably the last major medium to undergo digitization and sophistication to target audiences in a refined kind of way.”
The biggest change is that television “has evolved to being more fluid and digitallike,” as it appears on devices like phones and tablets and streamed through accessories like Roku and Apple TV, Hanlon said.
“This is clearly one of the significant envisioned benefits of this tie-up, which is the next generation of video advertising in a much more robust, targetable and data-rich manner,” Hanlon said. “It’s almost as if the realm of digital advertising has been a dress rehearsal for the medium of television, which is now essentially getting ready for its full-fledged digital transformation.”
Dave Morgan, the founder and chief executive of Simulmedia, which works with advertisers on targeted TV ads, said a combined AT&T and Time Warner could narrow the average price gap between cable ads and more expensive digital video ads by establishing a uniquely “high degree of coordination” between a distributor, programmer and sales systems for digital and traditional video.
“I don’t think it’s going to be a magic silver bullet, but I do think a combination like this is going to accelerate better, more data-driven TV ads,” Morgan said. Outside of targeting, he said, that could also mean frequency capping, so that people do not see the same ads over and over again, better retargeting and improved measurement.
Sorrell predicted, “All of this is going to happen, but it’s a question of how long it’s going to take.”

The downtown market has the right idea with Filistix, a fab food truck set up on Saturdays to offer Filipino barbecue (brought to you courtesy of entrepreneurs Ariel de Rosario and Roel Canafranca) to market shoppers. But aside from Fat Frank’s hot dog stands on various city corners, there isn’t a whole lot else to tempt consumers when it comes to dining a la cart outside in the summer.
Check out this story by the Associated Press about roving food carts and trucks in Los Angeles. It’s not necessary haute cuisine – grilled cheese sandwiches are big – but wouldn’t it be great if an Edmonton entrepreneur or two grabbed this idea and drove with it? Do any blog readers have ideas for mobile cuisine that they would like to see on city streets? Pretzels? Tex Mex Wraps? Cupcakes?

Tirol Tourist Board
Tirol Tourist Board For:
During the ski season, the Austrian Tirol offers something for everyone. There are around 80 ski resorts in snow-sure locations, offering 3,000 kilometres of pistes, 300 ski schools and hundreds of modern lifts. Last winter, a new gondola called the Flexenbahn opened, linking Zürs and Stuben/Rauz, making the Arlberg region, which includes the resort of St. Anton, the largest resort in Austria. Plus, a new £52 million cable car, the 3S, is now in operation in Stubai. The tri-cable gondola is the longest of its type yet to be built in the Alps, and has entered the history books as it’s believed to be the biggest single lift investment made by any ski resort.
Other highlights in the Austrian Tirol include: cross-country skiing along the trails that the world’s best biathletes compete on in the Biathlon World Championships, following in the footsteps of James Bond in SPECTRE, with a visit to the dazzling ice Q, joining in with the legendary après-ski and hiking through snowy landscapes and discovering the multiple cosy mountain huts serving delicious traditional local cuisine.
Plus, representatives from a number of key resorts in the Austrian Tirol will be at the Ski & Snowboard Festival, including Innsbruck, Tiroler Zugspitz Arena, SkiJuwel, Ötztal, Ischgl and St. Anton am Arlberg.

With the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposing much higher vehicle emission standards — a combined fleet average year-over-year CO2 reduction between the 2027 and 2032 model years of 13 percent, according to our sister paper Automotive News — the headlines have focused on how that will stress a faster transition to electric vehicles in the U.S.
Again, via Auto News: "The plan could lead to EVs making up 67 percent of new light-duty vehicle sales and 46 percent of medium-duty vehicle sales in the 2032 model year."
Some parts of the plastics industry have been anticipating rapid growth, however, and are gearing up to boost production of key parts.
PN's Sarah Kominek writes that Inoac USA Inc. makes foam products for EV battery packaging and protection using polyurethane, silicone, rubber and acrylic materials. It's a new business opportunity that has been years in the making.
"Most of these materials that we're bringing to [the North American] market now … have been under development and being commercialized for at least 10 years," Inoac's Brad Harris said.
The American Chemistry Council issued a news release after the EPA announcement noting that the auto industry will need plastics to meet the goal and that the plastics industry will also need public policy support.
"We strongly encourage the Administration and Congress to pursue policies and regulations that will enable and promote the U.S. chemical industry — not stifle it — so that it can continue to be a catalyst to addressing this issue and so many others," ACC said.

- Benedict Bunz has made a Bitcoin price prediction stating that Bitcoin will trade as high as $1,000,000
- Ivan on Tech has predicted a $200,000 trading price for Bitcoin
Experts have over the years made profound Bitcoin price prediction as part of the normal tradition of providing decision-making grounds to investors and score some points in the industry. XRP has had its own share as investors still wonder whether it can trade $10 or $100 anytime soon.
It can be recalled that John MacAfee, a crypto expert previously predicted a $1 million trading price as well as a $100,000 trading price for the asset. Most of these Bitcoin price predictions were influenced by the Bitcoin halving event that has divided the mining reward by half and expected to reduce supply in relation to the ever-rising demand. In this article, we will provide some experts Bitcoin price prediction which includes outrageous forecasts.
Mati Greenspan, Founder of Quantum Economics’ (Bitcoin Price Prediction)
According to Mati Greenspan, it is 99% certain that the price of Bitcoin will trade within the range of $1000 and $1,000,000. Interestingly, this coincides with a few other expert predictions.
Ivan on Tech, Youtube Influencer’s (Bitcoin Price Prediction)
Ivan on Tech believes that the Bitcoin price will trade as high as $200,000. This is because of the illiquid banking system and the fact that everything is possible in the crypto industry. Bitcoin price is currently making progress and may break out after it has built the momentum it is doing now.
Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream’s (Bitcoin Price Prediction)
Adam Back has predicted that Bitcoin has enough potential to cross its near $20,000 all-time high to trade as high as $100,000. Back earlier predicted that the Bitcoin price will go as high as $500,000, though it is seen as a long-term possibility.
Marc P. Bernegger, Fintech Investor at Crypto Finance
Bernegger relied on the inflow of institutional funds into the cryptocurrency industry, the impact of the Bitcoin halving as well as the macroeconomic analysis to predict that Bitcoin will trade at a maximum price of $55,000.
Benedikt Bunz, CEO of Findoria
Bunz predicted that Bitcoin may trade between $1000 and $1,000,000.
Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMEX’s (Bitcoin Price Prediction)
Hayes has predicted that Bitcoin has a great prospect to easily equal its all-time high of $20,000. According to the CEO of BitMex, Bitcoin will hover around this price point before surging even more further. All this will be possible if the store of value and the inflation of the digital asset perfectly goes as expected.
Zac Prince, CEO of BlockFi
The CEO of BlockFI predicted that the price of Bitcoin will trade around $60,000. This massive surge will be largely influenced by the Bitcoin halving which will possibly trigger a new wave of capital that will end up sending the price up the price curve.
Vladimir Tomko, CEO of Blockchain Cuties Universe
Just like most of the Bitcoin price prediction, the halving, and the historical trend largely influence Tomko to predict a maximum trading price of $80,000 for Bitcoin, a minimum price of $6500, and a new solid block of $15,000.
Erik Voorhees, CEO of Shapeshift’s (Bitcoin Price Prediction)
He believes that the Bitcoin price will trade as high as $150,000 and as low as $5400. This means Bitcoin will not crash as some people predict.
2021 down to 2021 is a very promising period for the industry. However, anything can happen in the world of cryptocurrency.

Gartner Research has issued its new study on the top trends driving data analytics and business intelligence, “Predicts 2018: Analytics and BI Strategy – Strategic Planning Assumptions.” The study includes the combined predictions of Gartner analysts Gareth Herschel, Alexander Linden, Rita L. Sallam, Svetlana Sicular, Jim Hare, Jorgen Heizenberg, Erick Brethenoux and Douglas Laney.
Automated ‘Most Needed’ Insights
By 2021, 75% of prebuilt reports will be replaced with or augmented by automated insights delivered on a "most needed" basis, according to Gartner analysts Erick Brethenoux and Rita Sallam.
- Report stacks and static information delivery are of limited use for decision making in a digital business — competition for management attention and business velocity have rendered traditional reports obsolete.
- Predetermined report formats are increasingly being replaced by a set of more intuitive interaction mechanisms such as conversational analytics.
- Citizen data scientists (CDSs) and business users are being equipped with increasingly "smart" discovery techniques and selective warning capabilities, fueling the augmented analytics trend.

Are you a regular user of vitamin supplements? Do you often replace healthy foods with vitamin pills? Well, watch out for the possible dangers this could fetch you in the long run.
Researchers from Europe warn those who substitute fresh vegetables and fruits with vitamins about the harmful results.
A combined research on 47 low-bias trials, involving 180,938 people found that vitamin supplements as a whole increased their death rate by five per cent, especially Vitamin A, Vitamin E and beta carotene were found to be involved more in spiking the mortality rate.
According to Goran Bjelakovic lead researcher of Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark, their study findings contradicted with those of observational studies claiming that "antioxidants (commonly found in Vitamin supplements) improve health."
While separate intakes of beta-carotene increased the mortality rates by seven percent, there was a 16 percent hike when Vitamin A was taken separately and a four percent hike for Vitamin E.
Selenium was found to decrease death rates by ten percent when given on its own or as supplements.
Relying on vitamin supplements to ward off cancer will not profit the consumer. On the contrary, studies show that intake of supplements like beta-carotene can result in increased risk of developing cancer, especially lung cancer in smokers.
It is advisable to take some supplements for some specific group of people, but of course, only after seeking proper guidance from their GP.
The bottom line is fending off fresh fruits and vegetables and fetching out supplements would not be a wiser bargain for your body and health.

Infiniti has published a teaser for the new crossover QX55 CoupeAugust 5, 2020
The press service of the Japanese automaker has published a teaser, which is dedicated to the new coupe crossover Infiniti QX55. The new 2021 model year will debut in November.
The 2021 Infiniti QX55 will be the next coupe crossover in the Japanese brand’s lineup after the QX70 exits the market. The presentation of the novelty will take place on November 11 live. Infiniti calls the QX55 “a return to the luxury crossover coupe segment.”
As the name suggests, the new QX55 should use the same fundamentals as the small QX50 crossover.
The car will compete with the German BMW X4 and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. The recently released official teaser features a beautifully curved roofline and a small duck tail spoiler. We can also tell you that crossover proportions fit together very well, avoiding some of the humpback awkwardness that plagues other crossover coupes.
Infiniti is still silent on the details of the new QX55’s engine range, but we can safely assume that it will borrow the 2.0-liter variable compression inline-four found in the regular QX50 crossover, where it produces 268 horsepower (380 Nm ). We also expect a continuously variable transmission. In the standard version, the model will be offered with front-wheel drive, while the all-wheel drive system will be available at an additional cost.
It is unclear if the automaker will unveil its new QX55 crossover at any event and when it might happen. The auto show in Los Angeles in 2020 has not been officially postponed, so it is possible that the world debut of the coupe-like novelty of the 2021 model year will take place there.
Not so long ago, AutoTimesNews wrote about what awaits the premium brand Infiniti in the near future. In order to save enough money, the management of the premium brand may completely abandon the further use of rear-wheel drive platforms.

This report reveals that SCi Entertainment, owner of publisher Eidos Interactive, is taking a loss in the operating fiscal 2008 year. It also discloses that the company does not think it can sell itself for its full value and is thus not holding any talks with potential suitors. However, the bigger news is that the company has pushed back the unannounced Tomb Raider game to this Holiday season
“By moving the release dates — including the new ‘Tomb Raider: Underworld’ game — into the more lucrative 2008 Christmas trading period the company said it would better optimize long term value,” reads the report. Tomb Raider: Underworld is expected to be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Not much is known about the game, but more information is expected soon.
Gamespot reports that SCi Games might be in talks to sell itself to an “unnamed company”. However, it seems their talks of a takeover bid are at an “extremely preliminary” stage, noting that there is no guarantee that it might go forward.
The current owner of Eidos Interactive – publisher of many popular franchises like Tomb Raider, Hitman and Championship Manager – SCi Games is speculated to be in talks with EA Games or even Warner Bros. Entertainment. The latter, in fact, bought 10% of the company’s shares back in December and awarded Eidos the rights to make games based on many of its properties including The OC and The Flintstones.
As per the report, the company is set to make an announcement in due course.
Quoting SCi Entertainment CEO Jane Cavanagh, Tomb Raider Chronicles reports that Crystal Dynamics is hard at work on a new Tomb Raider game set for release in 2008. Responsible for the fabulously fantastic Tomb Raider: Legend, Crystal Dynamics is working on “new versions of Tomb Raider (including a PS3 version);” it is also working on a completely new franchise.
Can’t wait till 2008 for more Lara Croft goodness? SCi is set to release a special Tomb Raider 10th Anniversary Edition game in the second half of its 2007 financial year. It is also going to release Tomb Raider: Legend on Gamecube, DS and GBA.

Report:Peugeot To Recall 6,800 Cars
Saturday, September 2nd 2000, 12:00 am
By: News On 6
BERLIN (AP) â€” French carmaker Peugeot is recalling 6,800 of its 206 model small cars in Germany to repair a fault in the side air-bag system, a report said Saturday.
The bags, designed to cushion passengers from impact in an accident, have unexpectedly inflated at least 60 times worldwide, including 27 incidents in Germany, newsmagazine Focus said.
It said the cars were being recalled to replace defective control mechanisms for the bags.
No one was available to comment at Peugeot's Paris headquarters Saturday.
The magazine also said Peugeot's new 607 luxury sedan will go on sale in Germany in January, months behind schedule, after the company encountered problems with the production of diesel engines for use in the new model.

Shares of GameStop (GME 1.07%) are falling 6.4% on Friday at 10:25 a.m. after the video game retailer announced it had fired its CFO while also preparing to fire an unspecified number of employees.
The move comes after GameStop announced it was splitting its stock by a 4-to-1 ratio for shareholders of record on July 15.
The video game retailer is in the midst of a transformation of its business as the industry inexorably moves to one that is online and digital. While no grand plan has been laid out, some of the changes that have come to light are moves in the cryptocurrency market with a new non-fungible token (NFT) wallet that will be useful for the NFT marketplace it intends to unveil later this year.
However, the collapse of the crypto market has also seen the NFT market crash, with sales volume of the tokens down some 93% since January.
According to an internal memo reported by Axios and seen by Bloomberg, CEO Matt Furlong told employees it was critical that "everyone in the organization must become even more hands-on and embrace a heightened level of accountability for results."
Bloomberg says CFO Mike Recupero was fired because "he wasn't hands-on enough" and acted as though GameStop had become Amazon.com, perhaps an allusion to chairman Ryan Cohen's exhortation that he wanted GameStop to be "the Amazon of gaming."
While GameStop's stock gained 15% on the stock split news, an announcement investors have been waiting for since March, when the video game retailer inflated its share count from 300 million shares to 1 billion shares, it's now paring back some of those gains.
