The lingerie brand Honey Birdette has been sharing information about their plans to expand across the United Kingdom as well as in the United States of America. The brand is an Australian one and has been around since the years of 2006. The main office building of Honey Birdette is in Brisbane, Australia. More offices, however, have been popping up in Europe and the United States.
From Honey Birdette, they shared that the plan is to have about forty new stores in the United Kingdom before the end of 2018. Currently, there are only three stores in the country so the expansion will be quite drastic and it is sure to skyrocket the success of the Honey Birdette brand. Currently, the brand also has a US website for sales within the states. The United States of America is, in fact, the home of most of the buyers of the luxurious lingerie. Because of that, the brand will be opening a number of stores in the states as well.
So far, in its home country Australia the brand of Honey Birdette has stores open in more than fifty locations across the country. By then of next year, however, there will be more than one hundred boutiques for the luxury brand of lingerie. After 2018, it will be time for the next expansion plant to be set in motion. They are directed towards more European countries. Boutiques of Honey Birdette will start popping up in many of the premium locations such as high streets in the major cities and large shopping centers. The plans also include the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The plan is to have more than a hundred stores across those two locations as well. The brand is geared towards USA and UK because most of the audience is based there.

Jon Bon Jovi will soon be singing “rosé all day.”
The future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame crooner and acclaimed French winemaker Gérard Bertrand will release “Diving into Hampton Water” rosé wine ahead of the summer season.
“Creating this wine with Gérard was just as creative as collaborating with another songwriter, Gérard uses his talents and wine knowledge just like a gifted musician,” Bon Jovi said in the press release Thursday. “And working with my son on this has been an amazing experience.”
The brainchild of Bon Jovi, 55, and his son, Jesse Bongiovi, 22, the idea sprouted after spending time in the Hamptons. Though the rocker initially dubbed the wine “pink juice,” his son and a pal settled on “Hampton Water” before taking the next steps and teaming up with Bertrand, whom they met through a mutual friend, to craft a wine encompassing the luxurious, albeit laid-back, lifestyles of the Hamptons and the South of France.
“We’d tried rosé from everywhere,” Jesse said. “But when we visited Gérard, we realized that there is an entire coastline in France that is producing some of the best-kept secrets on Earth.”
Set to hit shelves before spring at $25 a bottle, “Diving into Hampton Water” looks poised to follow the track of Bon Jovi’s previous wines, which are currently sold out.

Waving a Silken banner, WhiteWave Foods reported net sales of its North America plant-based foods and beverages platform rose by 12 percent in the first quarter of 2014. Sales of Silk Almondmilk drinks shot up by 52 percent in the first four months of this year, compared to the previous period in 2013, reports Bevnet.com.
Overall net sales reached $830 million in the first quarter, representing a 12 percent jump in organic net sales growth (excluding results from Earthbound Farm, which WhiteWave acquired in January). The company credits the growth of Silk Almondmilk as a key driver of new sales.
According to WhiteWave, Silk Almondmilk is the leader among all almond milk products. Almond milk “now represents an estimated 66 percent of the plant-based foods and beverages category,” quotes Bevnet.com. The article notes that several market research firms view almond milk’s growing popularity over soy as a continuing trend.
Our love of almond milk is not entirely new, however. The stuff was big in medieval times, when it was a staple in kitchens lacking Frigidaires, where cow’s milk spoiled quickly.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Borders Group Inc. late Tuesday warned it could swing to a third-quarter loss and cut its 2004 forecast, citing weaker sales due in part to the recent hurricanes and the presidential election campaign.
Borders Group Inc.
It said same-store sales at its Borders stores have fallen 1.9 percent while same-stores sales at Waldenbooks fell 4.5 percent on a quarter-to-date basis through Oct. 10. The company said with the third-quarter ending in two weeks, it doesn't expect its final same-store sales tally to change significantly. Borders Group said it previously forecast Borders same-store sales flat to up slightly and forecast same-store sales flat to down slightly at its Waldenbooks stores.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call expected third-quarter earnings of 2 cents a share on sales of $859 million.
For 2004, it forecast earnings of $1.66 to $1.73 a share, including a projected after-tax charge of 4 cents to 6 cents a share, down from its previous forecast of $1.72 to $1.77 a share, including an after-tax charge of 4 cents to 6 cents a share.
Analysts expected 2004 earnings of $1.78 a share on sales of $3.9 billion.
The company said it anticipates stronger demand once the election ends and the holiday season shopping season kicks off.
It said sales in its International division are up 27.1 percent on a quarter-to-date basis, above its previous projection of an increase of 20 percent to 25 percent over third-quarter 2003.
Borders also, for the first time, forecast fourth-quarter earnings of $1.55 to $1.62 a share, including an after-tax charge of 4 cents to 6 a cents. Analysts expect earnings of $1.65 cents on sales of $1.4 billion.

SEGA Announces Major Restructuring and Layoffs
Despite its overall business posting profits upwards of $200 million, SEGA Sammy has revealed that its North American and European operations spent more over the last year than they made back, losing the company $86 million. As usual, these developments were blamed on the tough economy and, as usual, SEGA has announced plans to shrink their operations.
By shifting their focus to digital content and time-tested franchises, SEGA hopes to turn things around. This means that games will be canceled, though no specific titles have been given, and people will lose their jobs. However, successful series like Sonic, Football Manager, Total War, and Aliens will continue to be unaffected by these developments.
Thankfully, Aliens: Colonial Marines for Wii U will most likely be spared… unlike the marines themselves
As for staffing cut-backs, layoffs will hit SEGA’s marketing, design, development, and social media departments. Also, the entirety of the North American QA department will be eliminated with European QA picking up the slack.
Best Buy Sees Drop in Video Game Sales
SEGA wasn’t the only company with bad news. Best Buy has revealed that even though the company saw a slight boost in overall sales in the last quarter, its sales of games is continuing a downward trend from last quarter. Year over year, Best Buy’s entertainment department (games, movies, music, etc.) has declined 21 percent.
Despite an overall increase company-wide compared to last year, Best Buy is still struggling as a whole and further enforced this fact with the revelation that 50 of its US stores will close this year, with an additional 400 jobs being eliminated at the corporate level.
Euro WiiWare Demos Rise from the Dead
Demos of WiiWare games have always been short lived, giving gamers a brief chance to get an even briefer snippet of the games. However, Nintendo of Europe has re-added 30 demos to European Wii Shop Channels.
These Lazarus-demos include Bit.Trip.Beat, Cave Story, NyxQuest,and many other titles.

UNIVERSITY NEWS LAST UPDATED : 28 JUNE 2019
A Birmingham student has transformed hair to the throne after developing new designer seating out of waste cuttings of human hair.
Birmingham City University Product Design student Alice Evans has produced the unusual furniture from clippings of hair taken from four second city salons, after being inspired by the teachings of Buddhism.
The chair features hair cuttings from dozens of individuals, which have been treated with soap and water and stitched together with plant twines to create a special material used for the seating.
Alice got the idea after becoming interested in Buddhism four years ago. She saw a clash between the teachings and her work in product design, noting a ‘spiritual void at the heart of modern consumer culture,’ and decided to focus on creating a product, which fused design with waste reduction.
Her creation is aimed at making people think more about sustainability and wastage, as well as challenging perceptions around which materials can be used for design.
She said the public reaction had been mixed with some people initially being ‘horrified’ and ‘freaked out’ but added that many others had been open-minded and keen to touch the furry furniture.
The plant twines are essential to keep the fusion together, which Alice believes is important in symbolising the connection between humans and the rest of the natural world.
Alice Evans said: “The idea came from my dissertation in which I wrote about where Buddhist values can enhance the design industry and help in creating a more sustainable future.
“Why is it ok to walk around with cow’s skin on our shoes or jackets, yet something made directly from us is seen as disgusting?
“Huge numbers of people own leather sofas, but the reaction to a chair made of human hair has been wildly different. And I really want to ask, ‘why’?”
Alice collected hair from across four different hair salons Toni and Guy, Bad Apple, Francesco Group Academy and Regis, before treating them with the soap and water mix to bind them together to make her unique material.
She was given bags of hair, which were due to be thrown away before working in her home to transform them into a new product to create the chair.
Speaking about the influence of Buddhist thought on her creation, Alice said: “I first became interested in Buddhist teachings about four years ago and most recently I’ve been feeling the benefits of being more mindful and embracing the ethical values. It has helped me see the world in a completely different light.
“I struggled with the religion teaching me that we don’t need more stuff to be happy and that I really believed as I felt such peace of mind once I let go of the grips of buying more stuff just for the sake of it and started to think about what was really necessary.
“This was contrasted heavily against my degree in which I felt product design was at the heart of feeding consumer greed by creating enticing things.
“From researching the two areas I came to the conclusion that they could work together – Buddhism transforms the spirit, you could say the mind, body and soul. While design aims to transform the world from a physical point of view. They are both trying to achieve the same goal to alleviate suffering.”
The chair was first produced as part of Alice’s end-of-year project and was out on display at Birmingham City University’s Inspired Festival, which showcases the work of students studying on courses in its Arts, Design and Media Faculty.
Alice plans to go on to work within the sustainable design industry and continue to experiment and encourage alternative ways of creating products.
People can find out more about Birmingham City University’s Product Design course at the University’s Open Day on Saturday 29 June.

ASIAN markets rebounded strongly in the wake of turmoil in global stock markets but is the sharp advance and a massive interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) sufficient to convince people a US recession will be avoided?
The markets are in a flux as the bulls and bears engage in a huge tug-of-war on that subject.
Listen to the bulls and they will say that the 75 basis point cut by the Fed was just the tonic the market and the US economy needed to pull away from the current slump.
They will say that the planned economic stimulus package by the US government, lower commodity prices, especially petrol prices in the US, and slower manufacturing activity will ease inflationary concerns.
Lower prices and an economic stimulus package will put money back into the pockets of the US consumers and that will help the economy avert the much-dreaded recession.
Market bears, however, are singing a different tune. They say the wheels for a US recession have already been set in motion and cuts in US interest rates will weaken the dollar even more and cause inflation to spike up even further.
A falling dollar and the subprime-induced crisis that has now seemingly spread to the manufacturing sector and higher inflation will steer the US economy and its stock markets into a terrible state.
Furthermore, the state of economies in Europe, particularly Britain, is not on solid ground, with inflation there poised to inch higher while the property market there is undergoing a correction.
They will also say the interest rate cuts are not big enough.
A probable outcome might be somewhere between what the bulls and bears say but it is too early to tell what this will be.
Any crisis is a terrible thing to go through. Its ensuing effects on the economy can be painful.
And the world, since the start of the decade, has witnessed turmoil after turmoil, such as the bursting of the dotcom bubble to Sept 11. Those events did not produce a deep recession and served as the basis for the years of a liquidity-fuelled boom that saw economies throughout the world hum in unison for years.
Such a recipe is easy to revert to, as investors know that the panacea for many of the ills was cheap money, and lots of it. That prescription is set to be administered once again but whether it will be enough this time around will be known in the months ahead.
Economic data will show just how the US economy, and that of Europe and Asia, will deal with the unfolding events that have been brought about by the subprime crisis in the US.
And until a clearer picture emerges, stock markets will be volatile.

Windows Phone has slowly been picking up apps, whether brand new to the platform or older apps get big updates. It’s a nice sign that the platform is picking up steam, but apparently not fast enough for Microsoft. The Redmond company has a new cash incentive to get developers cranking out apps for both Windows Phone and Windows 8.
The campaign is called ‘Keep the Cash’ and allows developers to earn $100 per app submitted between now and June 30th. There is a limit of ten apps per platform, so you could potentially walk away with $2000 if you produce ten apps for Windows Phone and ten more for Windows 8. Unfortunately for our international readers, the promotion is only open to U.S. residents. You can get the full rules right here.
While we like the idea that devs get a little incentive to produce some more apps, we’re concerned that Microsoft is giving the impression they’re more concerned with app numbers vs. quality apps. Personally, I’d prefer fewer apps overall if that resulted in better apps.
Either way, the promotion is out there, go take advantage if you’re a developer.

VidCon Will Expand To Asia With Singapore Summit & Bring Back London Event
VidCon, the conference for digital video creators that was acquired by Viacom in 2018, is continuing its global expansion with plans for the first-ever VidCon Asia Summit and the return of VidCon London. This follows recent news that the conference will also expand to Mexico in 2020. Today kicks off the 10th annual VidCon US at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The Asia Summit will run in Singapore from December 3-4, 2019 at the Raffles City Convention Centre while VidCon London will be back for a second year from February 20-23, 2020 at ExCel London. The first VidCon London debuted in February this year with more than 13,000 attendees across four days.
The VidCon Asia Summit, staged in association with the Singapore Media Festival, will introduce VidCon’s Industry Track to the Asian market. Programming will include keynotes from global industry leaders along with hands-on workshops focused on growing audience and revenue in the fast-paced Asian online video marketplace. Topics covered will include working with the leading online video platforms; brand case studies and learnings; algorithm insights and test results from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat experiments; as well as a deep-dive on social video trends across Asia.
The longer-term ambition is to expand the VidCon Asia Summit to the market, moving beyond the Industry Track with the addition of the Community Track festival that connects fans with their favorite online video creators and peers; and the Creator Track which showcases creators and experts to educate on online video, how to break into the industry and build an online brand, and strategies to meet and collaborate with fellow creators.
In the past year, VidCon has welcomed more than 100,000 attendees and industry guests across the U.S., UK and Australia.

IBM, EMC, NetApp and Red Hat prepping for that 'cloud promise'
Jeremy Burton, executive vice president for product operations and marketing at EMC says he expects cloud to transform the storage industry.
People know it’s coming, he says. And the buzz has created a demand storage companies have to respond to, he says. Businesses want to utilize the cloud in their storage infrastructure, and they’re not willing to wait for a “promise” to materialize.
“They look to companies like EMC to help them do that,” he says, adding that EMC is embracing the challenge.
It’s not added pressure, it’s added opportunity to reach customers, he insists.
IBM’s latest earnings can attest to the cloud push- both the good and the bad. Hardware revenues, impacted partially because of that cloud computing trend, were down across the board. And it, too, is looking at the virtual skies. IBM reported its cloud revenue is up 70 percent this year. Its third quarter cloud revenue exceeded $1 billion, $460 of which is delivered as a cloud service.

Microsoft has shot down a very exciting rumor that we'd be seeing new Xbox hardware at E3 this year, according to Bloomberg, who write that the Xbox 720 (which is not its name) will debut in 2013 at the earliest.
“There will be no talk of new Xbox hardware at E3 or anytime soon,” Microsoft rep David Dennis told the site. “For us, 2012 is all about Xbox 360.” We don't blame them, since the 360 has been outselling the Wii and PS3 for some time, and will likely continue to do so this year.
With the WIi U still coming this year, Microsoft's likely going to be second out of the next-gen hardware gate—unless Sony surprises us with a PS4 announcement at E3. That's not likely, though, as they've already stated specifically that it's not going to happen.
Are you looking forward to the Wii U, or would you rather have a new Xbox or PlayStation to look forward to? What if the next Xbox is tablet-based, like some rumors have claimed? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter.

Over the past three years, Radeon FreeSync technology has driven widespread adoption and become the industry’s most selected solution for smooth gaming. Earlier this year, AMD expanded the ecosystem by propelling tear-free gameplay beyond the PC with the launch of support for FreeSync technology in Microsoft’s Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles in early March. With more than 250 compatible displays offered by more than 20 partners, this is more than double the availability of competing technology.
“Whether you’re a console or PC gamer, playing on a PC display or your living room TV, Radeon FreeSync technology powers exceptional stutter-free gaming experiences,” said Scott Herkelman, vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD. “We launched FreeSync technology with a mission to end frame tearing and dropped frames, as well as improve the experience for gamers around the world. With Samsung’s FreeSync technology QLED TVs, extra smooth gameplay visuals have never been so accessible, and never in such a large and appealing format.”
“From the beginning, Samsung has embraced Radeon FreeSync technology and the commitment from AMD to deliver technologies based on open standards that enhance the gaming experience,” said Chu Jongsuk, senior vice president at Samsung. “Our users demand the absolute best in visual quality, and that extends to smooth gaming low latency. We're thrilled to bring the power of Radeon FreeSync technology to Samsung TVs for players around the world.”
“AMD and Microsoft have a long history of innovation, collaborating on hardware and software to bring gamers the best possible experiences,” said Matthew Lapsen, general manager, Xbox Console Marketing. “With FreeSync technology support for our Xbox One platform, AMD and Microsoft brought a critical gaming technology to a broader base of gamers. We’re offering a whole new caliber of smooth-looking gameplay to players on Xbox One S and Xbox One X.”
FreeSync technology for Samsung’s 2018 QLED TV range is available today for the QLED 55” – 82” models and the NU8000 / NU8500 55” – 82” Series. This will be delivered as part of an automatic Gamer Mode update.

Wincanton, the largest British logistics company, and Sorted, a UK-based delivery management technology provider, have announced the details of a new strategic partnership. The move is part of Wincanton’s wider ambition to enhance its market-leading eFulfilment service, which includes partnering with a number of British technology businesses.
Sorted’s platform solves the growing issue of having to manage multiple carriers when it comes to fulfilling online orders. When combined with Wincanton’s collaborative logistics capability, and significant expertise in the retail sector, the two companies are able to offer an effective and efficient service to retailers looking to react to ever-growing consumer expectations when it comes to delivery.
SortedPRO is a delivery management platform that integrates existing warehouse management systems to improve operational efficiency. The scalable Software as a Service (SaaS) solution enables users to organise carrier allocation, and manage performance from one single dashboard, allowing for a broader range of delivery options, and providing greater visibility by making deliveries more trackable.
Paul Durkin, Director for Home and eCommerce at Wincanton, said: “Rapidly growing online sales, as well as the rise of innovative new players in the technology market, are undoubtedly changing retail customer experience for the better. This is putting businesses under real pressure to improve their customer service levels and, critically, the range of delivery options that they can offer to consumers.
“Our new partnership with Sorted helps Wincanton’s retail customers to respond to this challenge. By integrating Wincanton’s eFulfilment service with Sorted’s carrier management platform, we’re able to help retailers expand consumer choice when it comes to delivery, whether it be time-specific delivery, nominated day or click + collect. And we can offer greater visibility of their purchases from the moment they buy them.”

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Costa Rican government to start a representative office for Costa Rica in Dubai.

Hudson's Bay seeks court review of non-essential retail closures in Toronto area
The flagship Hudson Bay Company store in Toronto is shown on Monday, January 27, 2014. (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press)
The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, December 10, 2020 11:52AM EST
TORONTO - Hudson's Bay Co. is asking an Ontario court to review the province's decision to temporarily close non-essential retailers in Toronto and Peel and calling the government's approach “unreasonable and unfair.”
The retailer, one of the country's most prominent department stores, filed the request for a judicial review today.
HBC says it is asking the court to recognize the unfairness of the situation and the need for a solution that prioritizes health and safety without jeopardizing the livelihood of thousands of retail workers and the future of many businesses.
The Ontario government ordered all non-essential businesses in Toronto and neighbouring Peel Region closed last month in an effort to curb surging COVID-19 infections.
HBC says in court documents that the province's health data shows shoppers are not contributing to the spread of the novel coronavirus in any significant way.
The court application comes after a coalition of about 50 retailers, including HBC, signed a letter last week that argued the order forces consumers to buy goods at big box and discount stores that are deemed essential, while thousands of retailers that sell many of the same products are forced to close.

Maybe you’ve not realized yet that Microsoft’s Windows 10 is already here for more than a year. For those who are still using Windows 7/8.1, the older system is reliable enough and good to use. But if you purchase a new OEM device now, the operating system you’ll embrace is all Windows 10.
As of October 31, Microsoft has stopped selling Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to system builders. Actually, they terminated most versions of Windows 7 two years ago, and only the professional version held on till earlier this week.
Windows 7 users are quite sticky, and according to the research report at WayBackMachine, Windows 7 64-bit became the most popular OS in 2015 by grabbing a share of 37.48%, with Windows 10 64-bit at 23.99% and Windows 8.1 64-bit at only 18.62%.

R Rajmohan has quit the Outlook Group where he was National Head-Advertising. He is joining Images Multimedia Group as President and Publisher from December 1. Rajmohan has been with the Outlook Group for the last eight years.
Rajmohan said, "In my career spanning close to 20 years, I have worked with four of the most reputed media companies in India. There comes a time when the question 'what next?' becomes pressing and that's what I was facing. Images Multimedia is a group I have seen from close quarters and I can confidently say that I am moving into a certain kind of entrepreneurship role to partner in the growth of a company that's steadily growing."
Images Multimedia Group was established in 1992 and has been playing a vital role in organising the fashion and retail businesses in India. The Group already has established itself among its B2B titles and has recently entered the consumer space. The magazines include Images fashion and retail magazine, Images (Business of Fashion) and the recently launched international magazine, Images Retail Middle East.
Rajmohan would play a key role in adding more titles and grow the business.
He began his career with The Times of India after which he spent close to six years at the India Today Group, where as Advertising Manager he was involved with most of the brand and was instrumental in the launch of India Today Plus and Cosmopolitan. Following this, he moved to Hindustan Times, where he spent two years before moving to the Outlook Group eight years back. Besides being the National Head-Advertising at Outlook, Rajmohan was also on the management committee of the Group as well as in the technical committee of NRS.
Talking about the challenges at Outlook, he said, "I joined at a time when the founder President, Deepak Shourie, had moved with some key people. Along with Maheshwer Peri and my team, we built an organisation to a stature where it is today and is undoubtedly one of the strongest media brands in India. Another challenge was that we added new products and moved from offering two products to eight."

Governor Kathy Hochul is expanding eligibility for $800 million available through a program to help small businesses with fallout and recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
Businesses with revenues up to $2.5 million in 2019 can apply for grants and increasing the ceiling on how much businesses could get through the Paycheck Protection Program. Previously, they were limited to $100,000, but under Hochul’s expansion, that limit will be $250,000.
Over $48 million has been dispersed so far to more than 2,380 businesses in New York. It’s part of a small business recovery program the state launched in June.
Here’s how it works: The minimum award for any qualifying small business will be $5,000, with the maximum being $50,000. Funding can be used to reimburse expenses such as payroll, mortgage or rent payments, tax payments, insurance, and even personal protective equipment, which was essential during the pandemic.
“Supporting the small businesses across our state that got hit hard by the pandemic is a top priority for my administration,” Hochul said. “We simply cannot have a full economic recovery if the small business community continues struggling to survive. With the Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program opening up to a greater pool of businesses, I strongly urge all the owners who qualify to submit their applications so they can access this funding.”
You can learn more about the program by clicking here.

TrueLayer, a computer software company that enables companies to capitalize on new open banking initiatives in the UK, announced on Tuesday it has integrated with mobile-only Starling Bank. TrueLayer reported it will be able to use Starling Bank’s API to securely access financial data while businesses that use its products can request to access to account data held by Starling Bank through a secure API.
TrueLayer also reported that Starling Bank’s customers can share their data and use a host of new personalized fintech products that are part of the TrueLayer’s ecosystem of Financial Applications. For example, income verification tools, lending products, and collated financial dashboards.
“Of course, we take security and privacy very seriously. That is why account information will only be accessible when a customer chooses to use a new product and actively agrees to share their information through an explicit consent. Consent can be reviewed and revoked at any time through the Starling app, should the customer wish.”
Speaking about the partnership, CEO and Co-Founder of TrueLayer, Francesco Simoneschi, stated:
“This partnership will allow Starling Bank’s customers to benefit from the raft of new fintech products and services that are launching.This first quarter of the year has been extremely encouraging for PSD2 and Open Banking. We witnessed a strong consumer response and a conversion rate between 50–80% when in relation to sharing financial information with third-party apps — that means consumers are starting to understand the benefits and have increased confidence with the new regulatory framework. Over the next few months, we’re going to see an explosion in innovation and choice.”
TrueLayer added it plans to announce more partnerships and integrations over the next few weeks and months.

Telstra has launched a new marketing campaign bringing together a western Sydney fruit farmer and a French eco-sonics scientist in a unique experiment to promote its music streaming service, MOG.
The experiment will test whether the telco’s ad-free music streaming service, launched six months ago, can make fruit grow better.
Created by Droga5, the campaign includes the launch of a mini-site, madebymog.com.au, which gives music fans the opportunity to submit their own music playlist from MOG’s 16 million song library, with one winner to have it streamed to a 45 hectare apple orchard via Sonos speaker systems.
The MOG-infused apples will then be harvested and processed into 100 bottles of personalised fruit juice for the competition winner, along with a 24-month MOG subscription, tickets to Flume’s upcoming tour and a Sonos wireless hi-fi system to stream their MOG account around their home.
Telstra director consumer and small business marketing, Maryanne Tsiatsias, said: “We’re really excited about this campaign and think it will generate lots of interesting conversations. Everyone can agree music makes things better. We think MOG’s ad-free song library makes music better, so we thought, let’s see what it does to fruit juice.”
Music lovers can go to madebymog.com.au to see how Cedar Creek Orchard’s Mark Silm and French professor Yannick Van Doorne – a specialist in electro-culture (aka the effect of music on plant growth) – worked together to create three fruit juices grown to music from MOG’s massive library.
The competition winner’s bespoke juice will join the “Tastes Like Teen Spirit”, “Baby I was Grown This Way” and “Blue Suede Juice” flavours already grown to the sounds of MOG.
Further prizes up for grabs for the competition runners-up include MOG subscriptions and tickets to Flume’s upcoming tour.

Crowdfunding platforms are trying to make the most of impact investing trends whilst new data on the market open-up fresh perspectives for both investors and entrepreneurs.
"We started by issuing a Code of Conduct, then we made reporting standards mandatory for member platforms. Now, we are offering a third consumer protection tool. These three measures demonstrate how we go above and beyond legal requirements in terms of retail investors’ protection."

Gas prices rise even as crude's slide continues
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. --- Retail gas prices rose for the 49th straight day Tuesday even though crude fell yet again.
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline gained a half cent overnight to $2.674, according to auto club AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service, surpassing a stretch in early 2007 when prices moved up 48 straight days.
In late April, when this streak began, a gallon of gas cost only $2.05.
Even during strong gasoline rallies in 2007 and 2008, prices tended to back off after gains of 20 cents to 40 cents per gallon, said Fred Rozell, OPIS' retail director. "This is unprecedented," he said.

Sainsbury offered more evidence today that supermarkets remain one of the bright spots in an otherwise moribund economy.
Recovery mode: Chief executive Justin King sees the latest figures as proof his turnaround strategy is working
Like-for-like sales at the UK's third-biggest supermarkets chain rose 3.9% in the last 16 weeks, bang in line with City expectations.
It also compares well with the 4% rise reported last week by Tesco, the biggest player.
Chief executive Justin King saw the figures as proof that his turnaround of the stores continues to bear fruit. When he joined four years ago, Sainsbury's was in the mire, having seen its position of trust undermined.
Food remains at the core of its offering - more so than rivals such as Asda and Tesco, which sell more goods from larger stores. King said: 'We have to get the food right first.'
Sainsbury's shares, down from a year high of 584p, today fell 19¾p to 295p. Despite the group's steady progress, few City analysts rate them a buy, which could be bad news for property tycoon Robert Tchenguiz.
He offloaded his 25% stake in pubs group Mitchells & Butlers yesterday, and there is growing talk that he wants a buyer for his 5% stake in Sainsbury's. He may have to take a loss if he does sell.
Although Sainsbury's is associated with slightly higher prices than Asda or Tesco, King says customers can cut a fifth off their bill by choosing its ownbrand products. He recently introduced a Switch and Save marketing campaign to highlight his case.
King denied he was under pressure from Lidl or Aldi, the budget supermarkets that are picking up market share. He claimed that Sainsbury's cut-price goods are already cheaper than Lidl's in any case, and added: 'Customers are increasingly turning to own-brand products. We continue to develop our offer to help customers manage tighter budgets without the need to sacrifice food quality.'
Total second-quarter sales, including fuel and new store space, were up 8.4%. Although King's strategy is based heavily on food, the group has nine non-food stores selling homeware and clothing.
Supermarkets tend to do well when the economy struggles, as consumers cut back on nights out and other spending but comfort themselves with good food at home.
King said: 'The economic environment remains particularly challenging and we expect this to continue throughout the second half, but we have developed the Sainsbury's offer to perform in these conditions.'
Sainsbury's has more than 800 supermarkets and convenience stores.

Now the summer heatwave is well and truly over and there's a definite chill appearing in the air, we're looking at how we can update our wardrobes for autumn and which key pieces we need to be buying. And it looks like Marks & Spencer may have given us a sneak preview of THE skirt of the season – which we're expecting to see everywhere. The high street favourite posted an image to its Instagram account on Monday of a distinctive purple midi skirt featuring an A-line cut, sculptural front pleat and large pockets, and fashion fans have been sent into a spin – despite the piece not even being available to buy yet.
Fashion fans are going wild for this 80s-inspired look
The post racked up thousands of likes in just one day. One follower commented: "Oh that skirt is gorgeous," and another added: "searching morning, noon and night for the skirt...". One simply wrote: "Want that skirt!!!" The in-demand piece was styled in the image with an 80s-inspired batwing jumper featuring a graphic triangle design in deep purple, lilac and bright pink. The account captioned the image: "Score serious style points in cosy statement knitwear this Autumn. Skirt coming soon!!"

Marks & Spencer has been killing it recently when it comes to hit pieces. First of all, we had THAT white and blue striped design which was hailed as the "dress of the summer". Then of course, there was the arrival of the leopard print midi dress, with the neon stripe down the side that sold out at an impressive rate. Shoppers loved it so much that M&S released a follow up in navy blue polka dots, with a splash of red in place of where the neon detail was before.

Most recently, M&S introduced a jumpsuit that created such a huge buzz that it actually sold out in just 24 hours online, ahead of its release. The £38.50 design is made in a deep navy blue, has red detail and features a smock waist, open back and ruched sleeves. We’re expecting this skirt to be a sell-out too!

Samsung Galaxy Note9 Launch Set For August 9
Samsung has started sending invites for its next flagship phone expected to be Galaxy Note9. The event is scheduled to be held in New York on August 9. Event will also be streamed live on Samsung.com

As we go closer to the launch, we should see more images and leaks to talk about the specifications. The US version of the phone will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset while global version will come with Samsung’s own Exynos processor.
The invite shows a close-up of the button on an S Pen stylus that confirms the launch of Note device.
The company also released a 22-second video flaunting the S Pen. Here is the teaser video.

About a year ago the Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company staged a generous and innocuously disruptive event in the heart of New York City: A full-service pop-up dispensing high-quality coffee, completely free of charge, in the form of carefully crafted drinks prepared by skilled local baristas with a backdrop of vibrant art and live music.
The reaction was generally supportive, but mixed, of course, with some New York-style standoffishness and a bit of baseless ridicule peppering the blogosphere.
But with stodginess and misunderstanding aside, the reality on the ground was that last fall’s event was a clear success, gaining valuable exposure for the brand while providing the company with equally valuable information in terms of what attracts and what confuses the consumers they hope to help their client roasters win over.
Currently, the Swiss Water company is at it again, popping up this time in Venice, Calif., where the response from the public has so far been a much more welcoming embrace.
“New York had a little bit of shock and awe, in terms of the idea of a café that’s just serving decaf. It was a pretty bold thing to do in New York, and certainly we saw that reflected in the press,” Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company Director of Marketing Natalie Dean told Daily Coffee News, adding that while consumers did get on board, it did take a bit of explaining.
“Here in L.A. it’s completely different,” she continued. “Angelinos are very focused on health and wellness. That idea of balancing caffeine consumption and energy management is a much more natural concept here.”
Dean said that people in L.A. have proven readily enthusiastic about how decaf presents more of an opportunity than an absence. Said Dean, “They’re getting to the idea that, ‘I can keep drinking coffee because it’s decaf,’ without any of that idea of ‘you’re taking something away from me by taking the caffeine out.'”
From an operational standpoint the pop-up is not dissimilar to the one that occurred in New York. The Swiss Water-branded coffees, this time roasted by Verve Coffee Roasters, are being prepared on a La Marzocco Strada espresso machine as well as Chemex manual brews supported by a Marco precision hot water system. Grinders are Mahlkonig, and the cold brew, produced by Stumptown, is served on a JoeTap tap system. Other offerings include Blue Bottle’s Decaf Noir and coffees by Australian roaster Campos Coffee.
On the upper level of the two-story popup is another bar equipped with a La Marzocco GS3 and space for events. Green importer Royal Coffee has held classes, cuppings, and presentations there featuring visiting coffee producers. Foodie-attractive happenings have included a mixology session with culinary cocktail adventurist Matthew Biancaniello, and a cold brew tasting with Tiny Glacier, makers of flavored artisanal ice cubes.
Dean said that 2016 research by the National Coffee Association has indicated that while coffee consumption overall has declined by 2 percent in the U.S., decaf consumption actually held steady. “Decaf is starting to get a bigger slice of the pie,” said Dean, adding that the research also indicates that decaf consumption is being led by consumers in the 18-24-year-old demographic, followed by consumers aged 25-39.
It therefore stands to reason that as more and more millennials gravitate to coffee and cold brew as a replacement for less healthy sugary and Red Bull-type energy drinks, it’s the same nutritionally aware inclination that inspires them to avoid caffeine later in the day, though they know they’d otherwise still enjoy coffee as their beverage of choice.
“Caffeine regulation is the number one reason why they stop drinking coffee during the day,” Dean said of documented millennial behavior, contending that demand for high-quality coffee without caffeine will correspondingly rise as does the awareness of its quality and availability.
In Los Angeles, where health consciousness and cold brew consumption are both amplified as compared to consumption habits in the northeast, Dean said the pop-up has helped Swiss Water hone in on their messaging going forward. “The piece that’s really coming to light for us is that idea of: Decaf is about staying in coffee all day,” she said. “For coffee shops, there’s an untapped opportunity. You don’t need to bring in blenders and fresh fruit and switch to smoothies in the afternoon. Stick with what you know, stick with what your baristas know, and think about a curated decaf menu for the afternoon and evening.”
As a case in point, Dean cites the emergence of a permanent, brick-and-mortar all-decaf café in Fukuoka, Japan. Operated by Japanese specialty coffee chain Hayama Coffee in a creative cobranding partnership with Swiss Water and Japanese fashion designer Junko Koshino, the totally caffeine-free Hayama location opened in July of this year, and has proven successful enough to warrant a second location that’s slated to open in Tokyo in 2017.
Having connected directly with so many consumers and successfully raised awareness in the media, in person and via social media, Dean reported that Swiss Water is building upon that connection by launching its own online marketplace for decaf coffees. Set to go live next week, the marketplace allow consumers to browse through and order decafs from top-quality roasters, not unlike the larger scale Decaf Depot website that launched earlier this year. However, Swiss Water will still remain more of an ingredient brand, like Intel, as opposed to a direct-to-consumer brand like the roasters to whom it does provide the direct service of decaffeinating coffee.
“We want to be able to take those messages and drive them back to roaster/retailers, because ultimately we’re not a consumer brand, per se,” said Dean. “We’re uncovering opportunities that I think we can take back to the trade and help them grow their business.”
The 10-day Swiss Water free coffee pop-up started at 1421 Abbot Kinney in Venice, Calif. on October 14, and will continue through October 23.

June 9, 2004 – Elpida Memory Inc. plans to spend between 450-500 billion yen ($4.1-$4.5 billion) over three years to construct what would be the world’s largest DRAM facility, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
The plant, to be constructed at the site of its subsidiary in Hiroshima, Japan, would produce 10,000 90nm 300mm wafers/month by 3Q05, with eventual output of 60,000 wafers/month. Elpida also plans to boost production at its existing Hiroshima facility by 25% to 28,000 wafers/month by the end of the fiscal year in March 2005. About 60 billion yen ($545 million) would be spent on the infrastructure, cleanroom, and related facilities, with the rest used for new equipment, according to Reuters.
The impetus for the investment is twofold, according to CEO Yukio Sakamoto: the expansion at the existing Hiroshima facility “is for us to make enough profit for survival,” while the new giant fab “is for us to grow drastically in this market.” Elpida, which currently holds about 4% of the global DRAM market, would leapfrog to more than 30% when the new plant comes online; Samsung led the market in 2003 with just under 29% share.
The new plant would surpass the current largest DRAM facility, owned by Infineon Technologies AG and Nanya Technology Corp. in northern Taiwan, which has been online since March with production to ramp to 50,000 300mm wafers/month by the end of 2005.

Oil and steel prices hit manufacturers
MANUFACTURERS suffered their worst month for more than a year in September, new figures revealed today in yet another sign interest rates may have reached their peak.
In the latest bleak snapshot of the UK economy, the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply said orders in the manufacturing sector were falling while input prices were at a nine-year high.
Its activity index for the manufacturing sector registered 52.2, down from 52.8 in August and the worst showing since June last year.
Sterling slipped to its low point of the day, down to 68.75p per euro from 68.67p, as traders bet the Bank of England will be forced to leave the cost of borrowing at 4.75% for longer.
George Buckley, economist at Deutsche Bank, said: 'For the Bank of England to raise rates you will need to see stronger data than this. Rising oil and steel prices are causing manufacturers to suffer.'
Geoffrey Dicks, UK economist at RBS Financial Markets, said: 'Manufacturing was still expanding in September but the pace has slowed sharply from the early summer months. Output growth was little changed this month - it was new orders that depressed the index.
'Surprisingly the weakness was more on the domestic front than overseas with respondents reporting a drop in orders from the Ministry of Defence and a more cautious approach in the private sector. Overall: still expanding but the pace is slowing which is not a surprise given the similar trend reported earlier in the euro area.'

George Daniels wasn’t just any watchmaker. In fact, he created only 27 watches by himself (excluding prototypes) throughout his entire lifetime (which consisted almost entirely of pocket watches). But what he did create was nothing short of exceptional (he was the mastermind behind the coaxial escapement, after all), which helps explain why his pieces are in such high demand and often sell in the millions. In 2019, for example, his Space Traveller watch sold for $4.6 million, breaking the record for the highest English watch ever sold at auction. What’s to come, however, many expect to top that.
Nov. 5–6 Phillips will host the Geneva Watch Auction: XVI and offer three wristwatches by the late English horologist, including one he created for himself.
“George Daniels was one of the greatest watchmakers in history, and it is an honor to present not only a unique tourbillon wristwatch with spring case, made fully by hand by Daniels himself and appearing on the auction market for the very first time, but also two of the most sought-after wristwatches by an independent watchmaker ahead of the Geneva Watch Auction: XVI in November,” Alexandre Ghotbi, Phillips’ continental Europe and Middle East head of watches, said in a statement. “For Daniels, a watch had to have historic, intellectual, technical, aesthetic, amusing, and useful qualities, a mantra that he applied to all his creations, with these three examples being no exception. Daniels’ legacy continues to influence the generations of watchmakers that follow him.”
The Spring Case tourbillon was Daniel’s personal watch from its creation in 1992 to 2005, when he sold it after being persuaded to do so by a friend. It’s the only one that he wore for more than a decade out of the two that he ever made for himself. And this auction marks the first time it’s being offered in a public sale.
Part of a collection of watches made in collaboration with his protégé Roger Smith in honor of 35 years since Daniels’ invention of the coaxial escapement, this Anniversary watch in yellow gold is one of only 35 created.
Last but certainly not least, Daniels’ Millennium watch was originally created to celebrate the release of the new version of the coaxial escapement. Limited to 48 pieces, it’s also the first example of a Daniels watch made in a series and features a heavily modified Omega caliber, as well as his distinctive guilloche dial.
Ahead of the November sale, all three watches will be on view at Geneva’s Beau Rivage hotel during the Geneva Watch Days fair, Aug. 29–Sept. 1.
