We often see food vendors serving food items to customers in newspapers. Not just to serve, but people also use pieces of newspaper to wrap and pack different food as well. Newspapers are massively used for different purposes related to food not just in India but in different places. But is it really a convenient choice when it comes to food? Let’s get to know all about the usage and its impacts.
It’s Time To Bid Adieu To Newspapers For Storing & Wrapping Food!
Newspapers are not just kept here and there in open spaces without any proper care or shelter. It is true that dust settles on the pieces of paper and that can contaminate the food served on it. But the germs and dust from outside are not the only concerning reason here. A lot of ink is used to print papers and this is the biggest reason for fear to deal with right now. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) talked about the harmful effects of the ink and mentioned the risk of foodborne diseases in a directive.
FSSAI has asked everyone to avoid using newspapers immediately for wrapping, serving, and packing food, according to a report by the Indian Express. People have been using these printed papers for storing food for a long time. But why is everyone getting concerned about it now?
Why Is Ink Harmful To Our Health?
G Kamala Vardhana Rao, the FSSAI CEO talked about the harsh effects of ink used in printing newspapers. It has different types of bioactive materials and are major cause behind many health issues. When all these get combined with our food and we consume them, we can fall sick and negatively impact our health.
Garima Goyal, a clinical dietitian shared that these might lead to stomach issues and food poisoning too. The alcohol, pigments, additives, dyes, and more used in making ink can cause digestion problems if ingested in a small quantity. Unfortunately, an excess consumption of newspaper ink can be terribly harmful and harm our health with cancer-related issues.
Save yourself and others and stop using newspapers to pack food.

Megadimension Neptunia VII Steam Release Date Confirmed
26/06/2016 Leave a comment
Publisher Idea Factory International have recently announced that the Steam (PC) version of Megadimension Neptunia VII will be released on the 5th July 2016 for the UK, Europe and America.
The game, which was originally released onto the PS4 earlier in the year, once again sees Neptune and Friends join forces to stop a new force threatening the land of Gamindustri; except this time the story is seperated into three different story arcs with each story arc introducing a brand new character, such as the hot-headed Uzume.
G.C. 2015- Gamindustri has entered a precarious season known as the CPU Shift Period. During this time of social unrest, deprecating rumors about the CPUs have begun to saturate Gamindustri. Neptune and the others worry the citizens will soon call for new leaders to replace the them and that their rule will end.
In these critical moments for Planeptune, Neptune and Nepgear mysteriously disappear. Their destination: a divergent world, nearing its catastrophic end, called the Zero Dimension. They encounter the last remaining CPU of this world, UzumeTennouboshi, who is desperately waging a lonely battle against a colossal evil known as the Dark CPU.
Will Neptune and Nepgear be able to work together with Uzume in order to save Zero Dimension from tragedy? So begins a new adventure for Neptune…
Alongside the release date news Idea Factory International have confirmed that Megadimension Neptunia VII will receive a 40% launch discount for one week and those who purchase the game will also receive access to Japanese audio, Histy’s Beginner Item Set, Histy’s Trial Item Set, and a variety of missions, level caps and accessories included with the base game. A Digital Deluxe Edition of Megadimension Neptunia VII has also been mentioned; but details remain scarce for the time being.
In any event Megadimension Neptunia VII will be available from the 5th July 2016 for the PC through Steam.

Insurance startup Huckleberry sets up second headquarters in Columbus
A company geared toward providing insurance for small and medium-sized business is setting up a second headquarters in Columbus, the latest in a string of startups tied to insurance and finance to set up in shop in city.
Huckleberry is moving its main headquarters from San Francisco to New York City this summer along with establishing a second headquarters in Columbus.
Bill Kaper, the company's chief technology officer, will run the Columbus office. Kaper had worked for Columbus-based Root Insurance before taking the job with Huckleberry.
In Columbus, the company will be filling out a staff with engineers, sales and office workers, he said.
The company is looking for office space that likely will be somewhere Downtown.
Huckleberry was drawn to Columbus because of the other startups that have had success here, including Root, Beam Dental and ScriptDrop.
Beam Dental raises $80 million in new funding; Nationwide among new investors
Going public: Insurer Root showing big losses as it readies for share offering
New Columbus insurer Branch built for speed, thanks to technology
"It's such a fast-growing technology startup community," Kaper said.
There are a handful of employees in Columbus now and about 40 overall. The company likely will have about 100 employees by early 2022, Kaper said.
The company is built off the notion of making it easier for small businesses and medium-sized businesses to buy commercial coverage, workers' compensation and other types of insurance. Kaper said the industry is highly fragmented.
"It's meant to serve consumers better on Main Street," he said.

Apple today announced during their media conference at their Cupertino campus that the iPhone 4 will launch in the second wave of countries on July 30.
Initially Apple said the iPhone 4 would reach 17 more countries by the end of July - and today Apple CEO Steve Jobs confirmed they will meet expectations, sneaking through and just managing to make it available by the end of the month.
The second wave of rollouts will see the iPhone 4 hit countries internationally including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore,
South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
It's unclear at this stage whether users will be able to pre-order the iPhone 4, but it's likely online pre-orders will occur, with Apple yet to comment on pricing for each respective country. There was also no mention if the iPhone 4 will come with a free case or updated hardware, after they announced free cases for all iPhone 4 users earlier today.
Demand for the iPhone 4 has been high, with Apple selling more than 3 million units in the first three weeks of availability in the US, France, Germany, Japan and the UK. Apple plans to have the iPhone 4 available in more than 80 countries worldwide by the end of September, with the final wave of countries to receive the device by that stage.
Update: South Korea won't be receiving the iPhone 4 in the second rollout wave. (Hat tip to @chaicka in the comments)

CV Show 2014: FuelMax and KMax tires "a winning formula" for Goodyear
ERJ staff report (TP)
Birmingham, UK – Goodyear Dunlop has "hit on a winning formula" for its premium Goodyear brand truck tires with the FuelMax low rolling resistance range and the KMax high mileage range, reported Steve Hobson for Commercial Motor.
Speaking at the Commercial Vehicle (CV) Show, commercial director Marc Preedy said it was "great to be back after a period in the wilderness" with a stand that was "all about Goodyear tires and what they can do".
"These tires have been five or six years in the making," said Preedy. "They are products that match customer requirements by delivering 35 percent improvement in longevity for the KMax and 10 percent lower rolling resistance for the FuelMax."
Goodyear has doubled its sales volumes in the UK in the last two years, taking share from both budget brands as operators trade up and from rival premium brands.
"Goodyear is focused on the premium sector and that is where we want to play," said Preedy. "I have the Goodyear, Dunlop, Fulda and Sava brands available, so I can attack the budget market with Sava and play in the mid-range with Fulda. Everyone is now trading up –those who tried budget brands have found you buy cheap you buy twice."
Dunlop is now positioned as a premium retail product exclusively sold through tire dealerships while Goodyear is targeted on big fleet deals. "We are not going out buying market share," insisted Preedy. "We know what we are good at and the companies that will fit with what we do."
Fleet customers now include BP, Elddis, Turners and Morrisons.
Preedy said larger operators were increasingly specifying low rolling resistance tires as the lower overall costs were now being proven in real life operations. This trend has also been helped by an increasingly common policy of specifying all new tires rather than retreads on drive and trailer as well as steer axles.
"There is a 25 percent fuel penalty from using retreads on the trailer axles," said Preedy. "Half of fuel savings come from the trailer tires, 30 percent from the drive tires and 20 percent from the steer."
But Preedy acknowledged it was still a long process to convince operators of the total cost of ownership benefits of fuel efficient tires. "It takes 18 months just to get our rubber rolled in across a fleet," he said. "The variables are massive but we can put the scores up to show the savings are there."
While FuelMax is positioned as the most fuel efficient tire for long haul operations, the KMax also offers five percent lower rolling resistance than the previous generation of regional tire.
More operators are also preferring pence per km (ppk) contracts – even if they cost more with low rolling resistance tires because the tires need replacing more often – ppk gives certainty over running costs. "We quote more ppk contracts than pay as you go," said Preedy. "Previously they were only for fleets with over 300 vehicles; now fleets of 200 also want ppk."
While tire production costs have risen this year, the increases have not been as great as originally predicted and have now stabilised.
Looking ahead, Preedy said that while tire R&D continues, the next stage of developments would be in related technologies such as tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) and radio frequency ID tags.
"We have TPMS in a couple of fleets," he said. "No one size fits all however. It won't be cheap to roll out for big fleets and getting the trailer to talk to every tractor remains an issue. We still have to prove the benefits."
While the benefits of correctly inflated tires include better safety, the wear and fuel economy, these can also be achieved by a proper tire maintenance regime, Preedy said.

“Millions of Americans are taking prescription and over-the-counter drugs made in China and don’t know it and neither do their doctors. These are prescription drugs in the legal supply chain that are distributed to U.S. hospitals, sold in corner drug stores and grocery store pharmacies, and distributed to military hospitals and clinics around the world,” explains Rosemary Gibson.
We cannot make aspirin in the United States. We cannot make penicillin in the United States. Nor can we make generic antibiotics.
China’s aim is to become the pharmacy to the world, and it is on track to achieve it.
Join me as I talk with Rosemary Gibson, author of “China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine” and Frank Gaffney Vice Chairman of the Committee for the Present Danger: China about the existential risks posed by the United States’ dependence on China for drugs and essential healthcare supplies.
“And I’m sure you may have seen the statement from the Chinese government media actually threatening to withhold drugs and to throw the United States into the ocean of hell of coronavirus. And there were threats before, but this the most brazen.”
“So, here we have a situation where you have a global pandemic and the whole world depends on a single country for those core chemicals to make critical drugs.”
If China shut the door on exports of medicines and their key ingredients and raw materials, U.S. hospitals and military hospitals and clinics would cease to function within months, if not days. China produces 10% of our generic drugs but more critically, almost 90% of the core chemicals and drug ingredients are controlled by China.
The Global Pandemic is bringing home many unpleasant truths and this is one of the harshest.

After being slammed on social media for selling t-shirts featuring Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur's faces, Kendall Jenner has issued an apology.
Us Weekly reports that the 21-year-old model and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star took to Twitter with her mea culpa on Thursday after pulling the t-shirt line.
"These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists," Jenner wrote in the statement she shared. "We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in anyway. The tee shirts have been pulled from retail and all the images have been removed. We will use this as an opportunity to learn from these mistakes and again, we are very sorry."
Jenner's apology comes following harsh criticism of the shirts which featured images of musicians and albums with Jenner and her sister, Kylie's, image printed over them. Some of the shirts featured the brand's "KK" logo printed over iconic album covers as well as images of the sisters' Instagram posts printed over the faces of musicians.
Earlier on Thursday, Voletta Wallace, mother of the late Notorious B.I.G., blasted the Jenner sisters on Instagram for using her son's image without permission or notification of the Wallace estate.
"This is disrespectful, disgusting, and exploitation at its worst!!!" Wallace posted.0comments
The shirts, which had been priced at $125 each, we removed from Jenner's Kendall + Kylie website and social media on Thursday.

Savant rolls out line of affordable home technology products
Smart home technology manufacturer Savant debuted a new line of smart home products that it said will let homeowners start enjoying their entertainment in minutes, while also being among the most affordable available at present.
The new line of products is headlined by the Savant Remote, which the company said combines the convenience of a universal remote with the power of home automation. The device lets users control a multitude of devices (more than 380,000, according to Savant) including Sonos, Apple TV, cable boxes, and Roku, as well as their lights, from a single device.
The Savant Remote also allows for voice commands where users can say, for example “Food Network,” to flip their television to that channel, or “Apple TV” to power on that device. Voice control also lets users switch their Savant scene—preset controls for specific “moods. Saying “Relax,” for example, could cue up soft music and dim the lights, while saying “goodnight” would shut everything down.
“This new affordable line of products builds on our years of experience in the luxury market, designing technology that makes enjoying home easier and more personal,” William Lynch, Savant CEO, said in a statement. “Our aim with the new Savant Remote was to create an easy to use but incredibly powerful entertainment interface, and address the major sources of frustration with traditional and universal remotes.”
Savant also rolled out Savant Instant, an in-app guided setup for its new line of devices that it claims gets users up and running in minutes.
The new line of devices will be available in early December, Savant said. The Savant Remote + Host entertainment package will retail for $499, while the Lamp Controllers will be available separately for $99 each.

A recent article on NRN.com outlined Panera Bread’s plans to roll out pasta options on their menu nationwide, over 1,600 stores. Pasta offerings have been in various stages of development for the past two years and are now ready to take their place on their menu.
The initial roll-out will feature three new pasta dishes: tortellini alfredo, pesto saccottini, and rustic penne Bolognese.
From the article:
“The company’s culinary and catering initiatives of the past year contributed to a fourth-quarter systemwide same-store sales increase of 4.9 percent, with company-owned same-store sales rising 5.1 percent and franchised units increasing 4.7 percent. At company locations, transactions declined 0.3 percent year-over-year, but check averages rose 5.4 percent, the company said.”

Spending on drinks and restaurants in the UK has shot up 57% since 2020
Brits continue to spend big in restaurants and bars despite higher costs, according to research by UK digital payment provider takepayments.
Several industries have seen a gradual decline in spending throughout 2022, with financial pressures forcing consumers to reduce their discretionary spending. However, sectors like hospitality, travel and wholesale have seen significant spending increases following the lifting of all UK lockdown measures in June 2021, displaying growth that has remained strong despite the economic turbulence of the following year.
Spending on drinks and restaurants category shot up 20% in 2022 compared with 2021, which in turn saw a 31% increase following 2020.
Research was conducted using takepayments’ card and POS transaction data, which the company broke down by industry to see how the pandemic recovery and cost of living crisis impacted businesses in various sectors.
Jodie Wilkinson, head of strategic partnerships at takepayments, said in response to the data: “It’s interesting to see that despite the increasing cost of food and drink in 2022, UK consumers continued to dine out together.”
Data from the ONS suggests that the food and drinks sector was bolstered by the Winter World Cup, which led to a 0.4% growth in consumer-facing services in November 2022.
“We can’t underestimate the impact that key events like this have on our economy, and the spending habits of the UK population,” Wilkinson added.
A growth in activity coincides with a boom in new hospitality businesses; the rate of new company registrations in the Accommodation & Food category saw a 5% increase year on year from 2021 to 2022, according to the ONS.
However, the next year could come with its own set of challenges. Almost nine in 10 of consumers will be looking to save money when eating out next year as discretionary income falls, according to forecasts from IGD’s Eating In Vs Eating Out report.
Wilkinson added: “It remains to be seen whether consumer behaviour changes in the long term, especially considering that inflation is predicted to drop by summer.”

The interference of technology in the manufacturing industry can prove to be useful with these trends predicted for 2019. Check out the five trends in manufacturing for 2019 below and the impact they will have on the employees, employers and the industry.
5G is coming
The advent of 5G in 2019 will be a key enabler of industry 4.0 in the manufacturing sector right from improving the management of data to enabling next level collaboration between suppliers and end users. The 5G networks will allow manufacturers to build smart factories following real-time connectivity.
Next level automation
The term ‘digital transformation’ sounds vague to some and these are those who have failed to embrace new innovations. The upcoming days will be a tough call for them to compete in the market. Therefore, the rising levels of automation are important for manufacturers to remain competitive and meet the demands for goods manufactured from established and emerging markets.
In the days forward, the connected systems that leverage the cloud, IoT, AI and machine learning will play a crucial role in making manufacturers smarter. The manufacturers too believe that technology that analyses big data will play a greater role in their business over the next three years.
Adaptation of an evolving workforce
The non-availability of employees with technical know-how can create a skill gap in 2019. The requirement of jobs will majorly shift to technical knowledge unlike previous years where manufacturing skills were enough. That is why the training of staff to incline more on digital transformations is important. The efforts will be required to make sure that traditional workforces are equipped and ready to work in this new digital environment. The employees will have to understand the benefits businesses can incur by becoming more digital.
With the days passing, the businesses will have to spend money on innovation and invest more in technology to resolve problems, allowing the staff to work on crucial things and add value to the organization. This can include the transformation of production processes, optimizing sales and marketing or improving customer services. The investment in technology should not be about buying the latest software, rather, identifying how the business model can be transformed to surpass competitors and serve the customers better.

This morning, up-and-coming Huss Brewing Co. of Tempe, Arizona, announced its acquisition of Papago Brewing Company, a pioneer in the Scottsdale brewing scene.
It's an interesting deal, a sort of consolidating "up": Huss is a fast-growing local brewer. But 15-year-old Papago has helped "birth" craft beer in Arizona. Known for their Orange Blossom brew, they're also the state's original landmark craft beer bar.
Together the two will produce about 9,000 barrels. The combined company is expected to end the year as the new third-largest brewery in Arizona based on Nielsen data (trailing only Four Peaks and SanTan).
The bump up in the rankings is nice, but Huss co-owner Leah Huss contends that the "most important" aspect of the acquisition is how it ensures Papago "will stay in Arizona and not be bought by an out of state or international conglomerate."
The deal will award Huss with Papago's full portfolio of brews, but Papago will hold on to its craft beer and restaurant and "will continue to use the Papago Brewing name under license."
First Beverage Group brokered the privately financed deal, which closed in late August; terms were not disclosed.
PAPAGO'S LEGACY. Papago Brewing Company opened its doors in 2001 as a bottle shop, homebrew supply store and tasting room. The company has since grown into a "local landmark" (one compared it to Falling Rock Tap House, Denver's famous beer bar) that serves an array of beers and food from the Papago Plaza Shopping Center.
Papago also has their own brands, whose sales are about 90% comprised of the popular Orange Blossom mandarin wheat brand (they also have Coconut Joe stout and more). Those brews have been contract produced by different entities over the last decade-plus. The beer has been "kind of like a foster child; it was growing on its own," said Huss co-founder, Leah.
She, in fact, has also co-owned Papago for more than a decade.
Leah actually had secured the contract to brew Papago at Huss before they opened in 2013. That deal was set to expire in 2018. The current milieu of M&A made them acquisitive, said Huss sales chief, Chip Mulala.
With their forces combined, Chip says, the popular Papago brand and fast-growing Huss can make great strides in the underdeveloped craft market.
FAST-GROWING HUSS. But Huss isn't a mere contract brewer. The company holds its own portfolio of 20-plus beers. It's the state's fastest-growing craft brewery and the 13th fastest-growing brewer in the nation among new craft beer entries, per IRI data (via Huss). In fact they're building a new flagship taproom -- Huss Brewing at Uptown Plaza -- in a recently renovated plaza in Phoenix on Camelback Road and Central Avenue.
With one brewery on a tear and the other impeded by capacity constraints, "we realized Huss Brewing can support the Papago brand in the Arizona market better than we could," said Papago president Ron Kloth. "This deal is just the next logical step for us to go in order to continue our business evolution."
CHAIN ANGLE. Leah and Huss sales chief Chip Mulala told us that this union will make the two greater than the sum of their parts -- more relevant in the wide-open Arizona craft landscape. They compared it to the tie-up between Green Flash and Alpine a few years back in San Diego.
The proposition: Huss has really just started entering supermarkets as of late last year. That's important: As Chip points out, some 80% of beer sales in Arizona go through chains.
Their recent off-premise chain seeding -- they've gotten placements in Fry's and Kroger -- helped land them on that recent "top 15 new craft vendors" list from IRI. Huss is the fastest-growing brewer in the state and third biggest new craft vendor in the Western region.
But they currently have "no plans to leave Arizona."
"From day one, our family motto has always been to be a legacy brand: plant roots in Arizona, and always be involved [there]," said Leah. "We're building our business for our daughter's future." They have a plan to "sign it over to her one day."
BROOKLYN BREWERY AND KIRIN BREWING JOINING FORCES OVERSEAS?
Japan's Kirin Brewing Co. is reportedly contemplating a partnership with Brooklyn Brewery, "informed sources" told the Japan Times.
The deal would entail Kirin producing and peddling Brooklyn's flagship beer in Japan and Brazil starting next year, the sources said.
The publication calls the informed rumor a play by Kirin to "expand its craft beer portfolio to meet growing demand in Japan at a time when beer consumption in the country has been on the decrease in general."
Kirin is also said to be mulling over a "joint venture with Brooklyn for marketing in Japan."
Brooklyn is already the second-largest craft beer exporter in Japan, according to the report. Nippon Beer Co. currently imports and sells the craft brewer's products. Kiuchi Brewery "manufactures the brand's barreled products for sale to restaurants."
Until tomorrow, Jenn
"Good taste is the enemy of comedy."

On the evening of Sept. 9 last year, Miguel Adrover, who had already collected his first silver statue from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, presented his fifth collection. He called it ''Utopia,'' and among the looks he showed were mosaic-patterned coats, head scarves and a caftan painted with images of spires and palm trees, as if taken from an Egyptian postcard.
It wasn't the first time that Mr. Adrover, who is from the Spanish island of Majorca, had alluded to the Middle East -- or, indeed, had attempted to make cultural statements with his clothes. In a collection he called ''Midtown,'' shown in February 2000, he tweaked fashion's obsession with luxury labels. The following spring, with backing now from the Pegasus Apparel Group, he took a greater risk, showing djellabas and veiled women in a tent meant to evoke an Arab refugee camp.
Though journalists panned the collection, and stores canceled orders because of late deliveries -- a problem that would plague Mr. Adrover -- he had been right in one sense. A season later, Tom Ford showed caftans at Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano plumbed tribal cultures at Dior. As Gary Nelson, who directed sales for Mr. Adrover, said, ''I think Miguel is very much asking interesting questions ahead of his time.''
But on Sept. 9, Mr. Adrover's show raised very uncomfortable questions. And several writers, including myself and Hillary Alexander of The Daily Telegraph of London, objected, saying the enforced modesty of the clothes brought to mind the Taliban, then in the news for its oppressive treatment of women.
Within 48 hours, of course, none of what Mr. Adrover had shown would occupy anyone's thoughts. And by the end of October, Pegasus, which had given itself the name Leiber Group, had closed Mr. Adrover's business. Though orders were taken, including one for $1.5 million from a Japanese company, nothing from ''Utopia'' would ever be made.
It's rare to go back to a collection, and rarer still to revisit one that touched a nerve. The coincidence of a designer showing Arab-inspired clothes -- and insisting that his audience view them without Western interpretation -- just as the world shifted its attention to the Taliban has stayed with me. And it would be wrong to suggest a real connection, or that Mr. Adrover was making an anti-American statement, or even that he was a seer.
But Mr. Adrover, who has set up a new studio on Chrystie Street on the Lower East Side with his own money and will show on Sept. 21 during the New York spring collections, acknowledged there was a coincidence. And it shook him and members of his staff , he said, to the core.
''Listen, we were freaked out,'' he said as volunteer seamstresses worked at tables over the weekend. ''So many people criticized us for the show in the tent that it became very hard to live with it.'' From a binder, Mr. Adrover pulled out pictures of Arab villages. ''These were the inspirations for the 'Mideast' collection,'' he said, ''but they were still on the walls of the studio on Sept. 11. You can imagine how we felt when everything happened at the trade center. I felt that I was somehow participating.''
Afterward, he continued, ''friends were saying to us, 'Be careful, the F.B.I. is going to be after you.' A lot of the press in Spain was saying the collection was Islamic, that it was connected to bin Laden. It was crazy, crazy.''

It points for a holiday release as always, then.
Mid year launch would be strange, either it was March to boost FY or it was holidays.
PS5 not happening at all this year tho.
TLoU 2 confirmed to be 2020 early year big game, IMO.
GoT might be cross-gen.
PS4 still has a lot of life in it, 120M+ sales confirmed.
Death Stranding, GoT, and TLoU2 will probably all either be crossgen or quickly get PS5 remastered editions.

SALT LAKE CITY — While many restaurants and local businesses continue to reopen in Utah, there is still a segment of businesses that remain closed with no clear reopening date in sight.
Workers in the live events industry “probably make up a third of the remaining unemployed in the state,” said Peter O’Doherty, president of the Utah Live Events Industry Association.
Many concerts, conventions, theater performances and other live events have been postponed — often until next year — which leaves not just entertainment venues, but the employees of small businesses that support live events out of work.
To make sure that workers in the industry are not forgotten, the Utah Live Events Industry Association organized a “Walk for Work” parade on Tuesday to raise awareness for out of work employees and businesses.
Wearing masks and carrying signs, nearly 200 people marched down State Street to the state Capitol to show legislators and the state government how many people have been impacted by event cancellations and shutdowns.
“Today was to show that we’re not just one or two people,” O’Doherty explained.
The association, which is affiliated with the national Live Events Coalition, is made up of nearly 400 businesses in the live events industry. Calling it a “diverse” group, O’Doherty says that the types of businesses range from electricians to audio providers to video production — like his own company, Special Electronics Group in Park City.
Live events are a significant part of Utah’s economy. The industry has a positive economic impact of $2 billion annually in the state, according to the Utah Live Events Industry Association.
Members of the association have been meeting with legislators and other government officials to draw attention to the plight of many of the small businesses in the live events industry.
“The support packages will not last long enough, under the CARES Act, on what’s available to sustain us through what is now a likely 12-month closure,” said O’Doherty. “Everyone in our industry is under 10% of revenue at the moment.”
Making sure that small businesses in the events industry receive enough support to last into 2021, when most events will start back up again, is critical to O’Doherty. He’s concerned that if businesses shut down, Utah will lose much of the skilled workforce in the industry that it currently has.
“If we let the brains and skills leave our industry, we can’t restart again in March,” O’Doherty said. “You don’t put on the Tour of Utah by just saying, ‘Hey, let’s put it on next week.’ There are people that should be working on it today.”
According to O’Doherty, there are four main “staples of support” that the live events industry needs in order to continue. “We need rent, we need our staff looked after, we need our working capital so that our equipment and our business development doesn’t just stop, and we need support to put on compliant events.”
Sen. Ronald Winterton, R-Roosevelt, has been involved in talks with the association and “has been very understanding of our cause,” O’Doherty said. “But they don’t have a funding source for us. That’s what we’re looking for.”
If businesses are expected to remain closed, then they need support, he said.
“We are unhappy but prepared to stay closed, as long as we’re supported,” O’Doherty said. “You can’t expect us to close and not help us.”

The automobile manufacturer, Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) has roped in four players from the Indian women’s cricket team for its “The Drive Within” campaign. The four Indian women cricketers are Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Taniya Bhatia, and Shafali Verma.
All the four cricket players have been named as the brand ambassador of the automobile manufacturer, penning down a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which sees them entering an exclusive one-year partnership.
Following this association, Hyundai looks forward to highlighting the women cricketers’ contribution to Indian cricket and celebrating women’s power to inspire other athletes present in India. Hyundai will also be releasing short clips on their digital platforms which will highlight the winning stories of the four cricketers.
The “The Drive Within” campaign was launched in the presence of Mandhana, who is the vice-captain of India’s women’s cricket team. She was accompanied by Rodrigues, Bhatia and Varma, who is the youngest cricketer to play all three cricket formats. The Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan also made an appearance virtually at the event.
Commenting on the occasion, Seon Seob Kim, MD & CEO, HMIL, said: “Hyundai has a long standing association with sports, our players as well as audiences. Continuing our promise to go beyond mobility, we are glad to announce an association with truly inspiring players in Indian Women Cricket. The grit & spirit shown by these sports women will become a role model for the entire nation. We are proud to announce them as brand ambassadors for taking the Hyundai spirit forward.

One group said they were concerned a public health mandate could interfere in the retail industry’s holiday profits.
A coalition of trucking, retail, and independent business lobbyists have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration’s vaccine and testing requirements for private companies, saying they will cause “irreparable harm” to American commerce.
According to CNBC, the complaint was filed by the National Retail Federation, the National Federation of Independent Business, and the American Trucking Association.
Collectively, the groups told the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit that businesses will lose employees, incur “unrecoverable compliance costs,” and suffer enhanced fallout from “already fragile supply chains and labor markets.”
“This is not a case about the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, which are a marvel of modern medicine. … This is a case about American businesses that do not want to face the immediate irreparable harm of losing employees, incurring substantial and unrecoverable compliance costs, and worsening already fragile supply chains and labor markets,” the lawsuits state.
Chris Spear, president of the American Trucking Association, said that, in spite of his organization’s warnings, the administration has “unfortunately, chosen to move forward despite those warnings.”
“So we are now, regrettably, forced to seek to have this mandate overturned in court,” Spear said.
Somewhat ironically, U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh had already said most truckers will be exempt from the mandates, because they spend most of their time working alone.
Meanwhile, National Retail Federation President Matthew Shay said retail businesses are concerned about the company because they are afraid a public safety measure could hurt their bottom line over the holidays.
Shay’s organization, says CNBC, had already written to the Biden administration asking for the implementation deadline to be pushed back until after January.
“We have consistently and repeatedly communicated our concerns about the practical challenges of meeting those arbitrary targets,” Shay said on Tuesday. “However, it appears that our only remaining course of action is to petition for judicial relief.”
The lawsuit was filed in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, among the most conservative in the United States.
As LegalReader.com reported earlier this week, the 5th Circuit has already issued a temporary injunction against the testing and vaccine requirements, saying legal challenges filed by state attorneys general “give cause to believe that there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate.”
The White House, though, has told businesses to prepare for the requirement and ensure they are complaint when and if it comes into effect.
“People should not wait,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday. “They should continue to move forward and make sure they’re getting their workplace vaccinated.”

Hidden in plain sight: California illegal pot market booming
LOS ANGELES (AP) — California’s struggling legal cannabis industry is expected to grow next year to $3.1 billion, but it remains far outmatched by the state’s thriving illegal market.
A report released Thursday finds consumers are spending roughly $3 in the state’s underground pot economy for every $1 in the legal one.
California kicked off broad legal sales in 2018. But hefty tax rates and illicit sales are blamed for slower-than-expected activity in the new market.
The report by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics projects sales in California — the world’s largest legal pot market — will grow 23% this year.
But those figures projecting robust growth don’t square with reports from many businesses that say they are struggling to keep their doors open.

Bentley has announced record profits for 2007 under the guidance of Volkswagen Group.
Net revenue was raised by €36 million or 2.7% when compared with 2006 giving a record breaking total of €1.37 billion. Operating profit increased too with a growth of 13.1%, or €18 million, giving a new record profit of €155 million.
It wasn't only profits that were breaking records, sales were too. In 2007 Bentley sold 10,014 units, breaking the 10,000 mark for the first time in its history and showing a global sales increase of 7%. The UK market alone recorded sales increases of 7% with Europe growing by the same amount. North America saw a 4% growth and and incredible 93% growth was recorded in China.
Commenting on these financial results, Bentley Chairman and CEO, Dr Franz-Jozef Paefgen, said: “2007 was a milestone in the history of Bentley as we passed the 10,000 units for the first time. Five years ago we were selling only 1000 units but the development of a strong product line has seen the Company attract new customers in greater numbers. 2007 saw strong growth both in mature markets, such as Germany, the UK and the US, as well as in emerging markets, such as China and Russia.”

On the surface, Nest would seem to have been the perfect fit for Apple. Nest makes very innovative products that can interface with those of Apple, and its founder and several top staffers are former Apple employees.
If you measure innovation prowess by patent activity, IBM is actually the winner, and has been for a long time. Big Blue, for the 21st consecutive year, was awarded the most U.S. patents and broke its own annual record with over 6,800 in 2013. Google and Apple trailed well behind at Nos. 11 and 13, respectively.
In spite of the Nest purchase, it doesn't appear that Google has any clear advantage over Apple on the innovation front.

This is a rush transcript from "Your World With Neil Cavuto," December 1, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: FOX on top of the Big Three "begathon" — take two.
Last month, they had a big do-over stamped on a plan Congress said was not really a plan at all. So, they are back at it and the pursuit of the 25 million bucks they hope will make all their extra work worth it.
But now some on GM's board wondering if it is worth it, that maybe the auto giant should consider bankruptcy before bailout. GM's chairman hearing none of it. And neither is this guy, Wayne County, Michigan, Executive Robert Ficano. He just took out radio ads calling for Americans to support the industry.
So, Executive, those on the GM, who are not ruling out bankruptcy — why should you?
ROBERT FICANO, WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, EXECUTIVE: The automobile industry is so critical. It reaches millions of jobs...
CAVUTO: With all due respect, I have heard many argue the same point. The housing industry, the petrochemical industry, the retail industry. They have all been making the same pitch, we are two crucial to fail or go bankrupt... too crucial to fail or go bankrupt.
FICANO: No. 1, many jobs...
CAVUTO: Careful, other than the things I just mentioned.
FICANO: Well, first of all, because the auto industry is so critical, really. People think of it just as Michigan, but it really reaches millions of jobs across the United States.
CAVUTO: Well, you know, with all due respect, Executive, I have heard many industries argue much the same point, the housing industry, the petrochemical industry. I have had the retail industry. They have all been here, one man, one woman at a time, making the same pitch: We are too crucial to fail, too crucial go bankrupt.
What make autos sacrosanct?
FICANO: No. 1, there's a number of jobs across the country. But, No. 2, from a homeland security standpoint...
CAVUTO: No, careful. Careful. There are a number of jobs for all of those other businesses I just mentioned.
FICANO: Sure, there are.
But another unique aspect is the homeland security. You're talking about, during World War II, what was the arsenal of democracy. You're talking about companies that really, if we go into a ground war, there are the ones that are going to be making the tanks, the technology and everything else.
And, so, it is critically important that we continue to keep this industry alive, not only for the jobs and the further collapse, if they go down, but also from a homeland security standpoint.
CAVUTO: That sounds like a threat: You need us for the country's very survival. So, if you ignore us, you are ignoring your own survival.
That sounds kind of goofy, doesn't it?
FICANO: No. It is not a threat at all. It's just the reality of what it is.
CAVUTO: If all three auto giants would go down, if GM went down, Chrysler or Ford wouldn't survive? I mean, you're — you're working into that view that all the auto guys go belly up.
FICANO: Well, they are all interdependent. You talk about not only the automakers themselves, but you're talking about suppliers. There is a lot of cross-distribution of the suppliers that go back and forth in a number of states.
So, we are talking about not just the main ones, like Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. There are — talking about also a number of suppliers as well that would go down.
CAVUTO: Well, you know, with all due respect — and you speak for your folks very well, and I commend you for that — but there are a lot of suppliers, there are a lot of plumbers, there are a lot of contractors who bespeak of the housing industry remaining vibrant.
It is not vibrant. So, they could make a similar pitch and say, as we go, so will our plumbers go, so all our electricians go, so all of our ancillary mortgage lenders and respected financial players go.
And you see what I am saying? It goes on and on and on. Now, when GM board members themselves, some of whom are saying bankruptcy should be an option, obviously, they are seeing past the bankruptcy — why can't you?
FICANO: Well, because, No. 1, if you think about it, who would buy a car from a bankrupt company? You're afraid about the warranty and everything else that is going to be carried in the future.
CAVUTO: No, no. Wait a minute. A Cadillac, I can get repaired anywhere. And people have flown bankrupt airlines with a lot more at stake, namely, their lives, when they do so.
So, I figure that, if you could fly a bankrupt airline, certainly, you can drive a car from a bankrupt company, right?
FICANO: Yes, but the problem is, is that, once you go into bankruptcy, all the suppliers and the others that would be creditors, they would go under as well. So, you're not just talking about Ford and General Motors.
CAVUTO: How do you know that? How do you know they will all go under as well?
FICANO: Because those of us that have been familiar with the auto industry have seen the restructuring that has been going on, especially for the past six or seven years.
There have been a number of jobs that have been cut. There have been a number of plants that have been reduced down. And, in fact, their structuring plans would have worked, except for the economic tsunami that we now face.
CAVUTO: But I have known a lot of businesses that have or could have gone under, in service and carriers, you know, big plane carriers, that have gone out of business, not once, not twice, but three times. Continental comes to mind.
And, again and again, the same argument was made, that, if that went belly up, or even went into bankruptcy, there would be hell to pay. There were restructurings. There were giant reshufflings in the way that business was conducted, but it came out leaner and meaner and with arguably a better or more cost-constructed product.
So, I am just saying, if these guys can do it, under Herculean odds, why not the auto industry?
FICANO: But don't forget, the airline industry did get a bailout, especially after 9/11. Congress allocated funds to get them through that crisis.

Samsung have announced the Galaxy S8 will feature an artificial intelligence digital assistant to compete with Google Assistant and Apple’s Siri.
The news follows Samsung’s acquisition last month of AI software company Viv Labs, run by one of the co-creators of Siri. The company is planning to include features not currently available with Google Assistant or Siri, according to executive vice president Rhee In-Jong.
“It will be significantly differentiated from the current services we see in the market now,” he said.
The Galaxy S8 will be Samsung’s first flagship smartphone since the Galaxy Note 7 launch and subsequent recall. The company will be aiming to win back trust and market share with the new smartphone, with the addition of features such as a unique digital assistant giving Samsung potential leverage over other manufacturers.
Samsung also plans to employ AI technology from Viv in appliances and other electronics.
Typically the company launches a new model for the flagship Galaxy S line at Mobile World Conference in Spain, but a senior executive told ChannelNews last month that this will not be the case in 2017, with the device set to launch sometime later in the year.
The launch of the blue coral Galaxy S7 in Singapore and Taiwan last month seems to suggest Samsung will support their current device for a longer period than usual. The new colour is also set to launch in the United States before the end of the year, with availability not yet confirmed for Australia.

LONDON – Japanese consumers are being urged to stop eating endangered bluefin tuna after a celebrity chef with restaurants in Japan decided to take it off all his menus.
Gordon Ramsay, who has two restaurants at the Conrad Tokyo hotel, has removed the endangered fish from the menus of all of his outlets worldwide following pressure from the Marine Conservation Society.
Over the last few years in Britain, several restaurants specializing in Japanese cuisine have taken bluefin tuna off their menus amid growing concern over dwindling stocks due to overfishing.
Bluefin is coveted for sushi and sashimi and around 80 percent of the world’s stocks are consumed in Japan.
Environmentalists are hoping Ramsay’s move might prompt Japanese consumers to give up their beloved bluefin for more environmentally sustainable fish.
Bryce Beukers-Stewart of the Marine Conservation Society said: “We would like to see the demand for bluefin tuna reduced in Japan. They are eating an endangered species, just like a tiger or rhinoceros.
“There are plenty of sustainable alternatives, such as yellowfin tuna. It’s a much better choice and makes good sushi.”
Ramsay is a three-star Michelin chef who has been highly successful in Britain. He has also built up a lot of Japanese fans in London, hence his decision to branch out into Japan in 2005. In Tokyo, his restaurants focus on French food. They have only used yellowfin tuna “because bluefin is neither environmentally nor financially viable,” a spokeswoman said.
One of his popular dishes in London was the $170-a-head carpaccio of bluefin tuna and swordfish with brown butter.
Alternatively, diners could have had the bluefin starter with roasted cep tartar, caviar, basil puree and spring onions.
But his company said in a recent statement: “following increased concern about the risks posed to stocks of bluefin tuna, Gordon Ramsay Holdings Ltd. removed all bluefin tuna from dishes on its menus across all restaurants in the group.”
The statement added that yellowfin tuna would, where appropriate, be used instead and every effort would go into sourcing environmentally sustainable fish.
This was something of a publicity coup for the Marine Conservation Society as Ramsay hosts popular TV cooking shows in Britain and the U.S.
This is not the first time a restaurant has taken the endangered fish off the menu.
In 1999, the Moshi Moshi chain of Japanese restaurants in Britain removed bluefin following concerns about the decline in stocks.
Managing director Caroline Bennett said the initial decision did not go down particularly well with customers who relished the bluefin “toro” (fatty belly).
However, she said that over time diners have supported the move and for now they are using yellowfin tuna.
She said, “In questionnaires in our restaurants, customers place a high priority on the environment and environmental sustainability.”
Beukers-Stewart said some other restaurant chains, including Yo!Sushi, are now advertising that they only work with environmentally sustainable products.
Bluefin is probably now confined in Britain to upmarket Japanese-owned restaurants.
“Consumers in Britain have become particularly aware about the issue of sustainability over the last two years,” Beukers-Stewart said.
The Marine Conservation Society has issued a list of 43 “fish to avoid” either because their stocks are dangerously low or the method of fishing impacts other species.
In most cases, consumers are advised to avoid fish from certain oceans, rather than there being an outright ban. People are urged not to buy the northern, southern and Pacific bluefin tuna.
Beukers-Stewart said British supermarket chains generally avoided selling all the fish on the list, but there were one or two exceptions.
The EU recently decided to reduce the amount of bluefin tuna it catches in the Mediterranean following concern over stock levels.

You can find however a whole lot to like about Amazon (AMZN) inventory, even although the company’s coming off a really hard 12 months, JMP Securities Fairness Research Analyst Nick Jones not long ago instructed Yahoo Finance Reside (online video previously mentioned).
Amazon had a tough 2022, 1 in which the company’s stock tumbled additional than 40% during the 12 months. The company’s been battling large inflation, growing costs, and a gradual advertising current market, and not too long ago announced it would up the number of layoffs it was doing in its corporate workforce from 10,000 to 18,000.
However, Amazon’s nevertheless headed in the correct course in accordance to Jones. “We like Amazon investing in upcoming engineering, we like them investing in advancement,” he said. “For us, we will not believe it has to take place. We like the inventory from right here, nowadays.”
The layoffs, Jones claimed, are not undesirable information for the company’s outlook.
“It can be a quite modest chunk of their workforce,” he mentioned, as Amazon’s overall corporate workforce is about 300,000 potent. “We see it as, ‘They’re starting up to glance at working earnings.’ This is an area that investors are progressively on the lookout at. They want to see Amazon give improved assistance to these figures as we development by way of each individual quarter. So, even though we will not feel it truly is truly likely to shift the needle materially, we like that they’re focusing on this and they are creating cuts.”
Heading into Q4 earnings, Amazon’s direction has been weak, as the company in Oct explained it was expecting to report in between $140 billion and $148 billion in earnings to shut out the yr, lacking analysts’ expectations.
For all the turmoil the company’s suffering from, Jones believes CEO Andy Jassy is taking part in his cards correct, expressing that Jassy has gotten caught in the crossfire of a macroeconomic downturn.
“You won’t be able to battle the Fed,” he stated. “You are not able to struggle macro, and I imagine this is quite much a macro, Fed-pushed sector, and which is genuinely compressing multiples … more so than everything idiosyncratic to what Jassy is doing at the business.”
Jassy, who took the helm at Amazon in 2021, sounded off on the firm’s layoff strategies in a statement previously this month.
“Amazon has weathered uncertain and hard economies in the past, and we will proceed to do so,” Jassy wrote on Jan. 4. “These adjustments will assist us pursue our long-expression options with a much better expense structure even so, I’m also optimistic that we’ll be ingenious, resourceful, and scrappy in this time when we’re not selecting expansively and removing some roles. Firms that past a extended time go through distinct phases. They are not in hefty persons growth mode just about every yr.”
‘Definitely continue to an AWS story’
So, where does Jones consider Amazon will go from below? The crucial to a prosperous 2023 for Amazon is for the company’s retail enterprise to choose up some steam, although the firm’s booming cloud device Amazon Internet Expert services (AWS) boosts its progress.
“It can be absolutely continue to an AWS tale,” stated Jones. “I imply, we continue to want to see retail operate. I feel promotion is under-appreciated, but heading into a economic downturn it’s difficult to like advertising and marketing going into 2023. So, we actually need to see AWS start out re-accelerating. We want to see estimates commence raising from the retail section.”
The reality is, the macro requires to even out ahead of we know what Amazon’s following moves will search like.
“We need to have to base out in phrases of estimates and get far more visibility on the macro problem,” reported Jones. “Is the Fed going to continue to increase costs and by how substantially? I consider as soon as we get some visibility into the price of capital, the place charges are heading, that’s when buyers can commence to pick their heads up and feel about what the again fifty percent of ’23 and ’24 appears like.”

text: South Korea's trade surplus in industrial parts and materials widened despite a slight drop in exports in the first six months of the year as the country's imports declined at a greater pace, the government said Thursday. In the January-June period, the country posted a trade surplus of US$43.3 billion in the sector, up 8.4% from $39.3 billion for the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. The tally is more than four times higher than a $10.74 billion surplus the country posted in overall trade in the first half of the year, meaning the parts and materials industry had made up for a significant part of losses by other industrial sectors, according to South Korea's news agency (Yonhap). The overall trade volume of industrial parts and materials shrank from a year earlier as its exports dropped 1.1% on-year to $123.8 billion with imports falling 5.6% to $80.6 billion. The ministry attributed the drops in both exports and imports to a slowdown of the global economy. "Exports dropped 1.1% from the same period last year due to a global economic downturn brought on by Europe's financial crisis and also the country's shrinking exports to China," it said in a press release. Shipments of industrial parts and materials to China dropped 6.6% on-year to $40.5 billion due to what the ministry called "China's shrinking domestic demand" prompted by an economic slowdown. Exports to the United States, on the other hand, surged 10.5% on-year to $11.71 billion, an outcome of the Korea-US free trade agreement (FTA) that went into effect on March 15, the ministry said. South Korea's chronic trade deficit with Japan narrowed in the first half to $10.8 billion from $11.7 billion last year with its exports and imports to and from Japan dropping 7.9% and 7.8%, respectively.
