Latest scam: Callers posing as law enforcement want you to pay off fines
Daily Time DELCO
The U.S. Marshals Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation are warning of an ongoing telephone scam in which callers pretend to be marshals, court officers or other law enforcement officials in an attempt to get victims to pay off fines that don’t exist.
“During these calls, scammers attempt to collect a fine in lieu of arrest due to a claim of identity theft, failing to report for jury duty, or other offenses,” according to a joint release from the FBI and Marshals service. “They then tell victims they can avoid arrest by withdrawing cash and transferring it to the government, purchasing a prepaid debit card such as a Green Dot card or gift card and read t

"If you were devising a company, which was in the dark side, Valeant would be it," Aswath Damodaran, a professor of finance at New York University's Stern School of Business, told CNBC on Thursday. Still, the investor recently bought shares of the company, which has been under fire recently.
Popularly known as the "dean of valuation," Damodaran told CNBC that he recently purchased the stock at $32 a share, but he believes its true value $43 a share, 34 percent higher.
"In every conceivable way this looks like a bad company, but at the right price, even a bad company could be a good investment," he said in an interview with "Closing Bell." Valeant's problems include losing credibility with investors, delaying its financial filings and have a board of directors in "flux," he said.

The crypto markets started the last week with a different Euphoria. Each and every trader watched as Bitcoin rallied past $7000 to an astonishing $8000. However, at the dawn of Friday, 17th May they woke up to a different scenario. The bitcoin gap just went lower by about 20% or over $1500. As a result of that, the rest of the crypto market was brought down. Some traders were caught unawares while others had foreseen it. The question on every person’s mind was what just happened and which direction should be taken now.
It all started on the Bitstamp exchange at about 10 pm ET on Thursday, 16th May. At that time, numerous crypto traders honed in the rather suspicious sell wall. The trader placed a sell order for 3,645BTC (c. $22m) on the exchange. It was formed at a moment when the Bitcoin market liquidity was at its lowest. It especially happens on a singular exchange.
The immediate reaction was to reduce the price of Bitcoin on Bitstamp. You could even view the spread in cost between other exchanges and Bitstamp. Such exchanges could include Kraken and Coinbase. As a result of the crypto market arbitrage, the prices on other similar exchanges followed the same track. Bitcoin would fall across the board. The rest of the market sank. It is due to the correlation of the other crypto assets with bitcoin. However, there was far more on the move than just a mere massive Bitcoin selling.
What occurred with the wall was an example of cryptocurrency spoofing. On a clear observation, one could notice that the selling wall decreased by the coming of more orders that matched it. This kept occurring as Bitcoin passed through $7500, then $7000 and thereby hitting around $6200. In the end, the sell was completely consumed albeit at a seemingly reduced price.
Then, once the cost had hit around the $6200 level, there was another massive buy well that was created on the same exchange ($11m). It could have brought about the sudden recovery that we have noticed in the price greater than $7000. It gave a clear evident of cryptocurrency spoofing in reality.
The gentleman or lady behind this doing was clearly attempting to impact the price. There are very few surplus explanations to answer why they would have issued an order of that magnitude at that moment. If an individual had the desire to trade a huge block of Bitcoin at the most suitable price, they would attempt to facilitate an OTC deal. It would be of minimum impact on the market.
Furthermore, the timing of a massive buy wall immediately after the trade wall coming to light is suspicious. It is either the orders were greatly coordinated or completed by rather the same party. Similarly, this can also occur on the reverse as sellers place large buy wells. Back in April, something of the sought happened. It was as an individual trader placed a massive order through. It was at a seemingly illiquid moment.
Spoofing is something that is considered illegal at the traditional financial markets. However, it is given the unlimited character of the cryptocurrency markets. On the other hand, whales tend to have free reign. However, a question pops up, why would a whale have an urge to tank the market in that way? The solution could lie in a completely distinct market.

Betting shop removes sign barring factory workers from entering over Covid fears
- Credit: Google Images
A betting firm has distanced itself from a sign placed in one of its shops’ windows banning workers from a nearby factory from entering after a coronavirus outbreak
Following an outbreak of Covid-19 at Cranswick Country Foods, in Watton, the town’s Betfred betting shop put up a sign banning all employees from entering.
The sign which said “Cranswick workers no entry”, was spotted in the shop window on the high street, but has since been taken down.
A spokesman from Betfred said: “The sign has been taken down and was not company policy.”
This comes after concerns were raised about Cranswick workers living in crowded homes in Watton back in September.

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here.
The premium streaming video service’s owners don’t want it anymore and are trying to sell it. And while all the possible buyers (like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon and DirecTV) agree that its highly valuable, it looks like none of them will end up following through with an acquisition.
The Hulu auction, which began taking its first round of bids last month, could now be completely derailed due to recent developments, reports Reuters.
Citing a person familiar with the situation, the report indicates that a Hulu sale is stalling for several reasons, including content streaming rights, the service’s sale price, potential buyers getting sidelined and Hulu’s owner’s lack of commitment to a sale.
First, the issue regarding the streaming rights and sale price go hand in hand, because the final sale will be affected by how many devices and mediums Hulu’s content is permitted to play on. And since most of the new content deals from Fox, NBC and Comcast (three of the four major owners of Hulu) all have clauses allowing them to create their own branded content services, many of the potential buyers are questioning the asking price. Initial bids have ranged from $500 million to $2 billion, according to the report.
Also, the line of potential buyers is thinning out. Yahoo, which was rumored as the strongest candidate, is now out of the running due to chaos with its leadership. The most likely buyers at this point are Google, Amazon, DirecTV and DISH Network, the report states.
Another round of Hulu bids is expected to take place next week, but the auction might not move forward if the offers aren’t high enough.

NEW DELHI: The Baba Kalyani led committee constituted by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to study the existing SEZ policy of India submitted its report to Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu, in New Delhi on November 19, 2018.
Had a meeting with the members of the group comprising industry representatives, experts and Govt. officials constituted to review the SEZ Policy. Took their inputs and suggestions for improving existing policy and accelerate India’s growth towards a US $ 5 trillion economy. https://t.co/DuZBPFpuNV
— Suresh Prabhu (@sureshpprabhu) November 19, 2018
The Committee’s chairman, Baba Kalyani, while submitting the report to the Commerce Minister said that if India is going to become a USD 5 trillion economy by 2025 then the current environment of manufacturing competitiveness and services has to undergo a basic paradigm shift.
The report notes that the success seen by services sectors like IT and ITES has to be promoted in other services sector like health care, financial services, legal, repair and design services.
Speaking on the process, Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu said that the suggestions of the committee are very constructive and that the Commerce Ministry will immediately begin formal consultations with the Finance Ministry and other Ministries so that implementation of the committee’s recommendations may be done without any delay.
The key objectives of the committee included:
√ To evaluate the SEZ policy and make it WTO compatible
√ To suggest measures for maximising utilisation of vacant land in SEZs
√ To suggest changes in the SEZ policy based on international experience
√ To merge the SEZ policy with other Government schemes such as coastal economic zones, Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor, national industrial manufacturing zones and food and textiles parks.
The Narendra Modi-led government has set the target of creating 100 million jobs and achieving 25% of GDP from the manufacturing sector by 2022, as a part of its flagship ‘Make in India’ programme.
The Government also plans to increase manufacturing value to USD 1.2 trillion by 2025.
While these are ambitious plans to propel India into a growth trajectory, it requires an evaluation of existing policy frameworks to catalyse manufacturing sector growth. At the same time, the policy needs to be compiled with the relevant WTO regulations.
In June 2018, the Union Commerce Ministry set up a committee headed by Bharat Forge chairman Baba Kalyani to make its special economic zone (SEZ) policy compatible with World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules after the US challenged India’s export subsidy programme at the multilateral trade body.
The group was given three months time to submit its recommendations.
India’s SEZ Policy was implemented from April 1, 2000. Subsequently the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 was passed by Parliament in May 2005 and received presidential assent on the June 23, 2005, and the Special Economic Zone Act was enacted.
The SEZ Act, 2005, supported by SEZ Rules, came into effect on February 10, 2006.
The commerce ministry has been consistently lobbying with the finance ministry to exempt units in the SEZs from the minimum alternate tax (MAT), imposed on them in 2011.

Bearings manufacturer NSK Australia has been fined AUD$3 million for price fixing.
The Federal Court imposed the fine after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) investigated the case.
NSK Australia holds around 10-13% of the $400 million Australia bearings market. Bearings are an essential component in mechanical items, including motor vehicles, mining conveyors, household electrical items and farm machinery.
According to the ACCC, bearings prices were hiked by four per cent in May 2008 and by 10 per cent in February 2009. The price fixing activity primarily affected aftermarket bearings customers – those who purchased bearings for maintenance and repair of motor vehicles, household and industrial machinery.
How it happened
Three senior Japanese executives from NSK Australia, Nachi Australia and Koyo Australia participated in the cartel conduct. They held regular group meetings in Sydney and Melbourne to discuss pricing plans during the nineties. This led to the formation of the Southern Cross Association cartel in 2000. The cartel remained undiscovered for over a decade.
“Cartels cheat customers and other businesses. The ACCC will continue to tackle cartel conduct with the full force of the law,” ACCC Chairman Rod Sims said.
Although the fine imposed on NSK Australia is significant, it reflects a discount that was granted after it cooperated with the ACCC’s investigation. Koyo Australia also faced a $2 million penalty in October last year. Nachi is yet to receive any penalties apart from significant reputational damage.
The Court also ordered NSK Australia to implement a competition and consumer law compliance training program throughout its organisation.

Sales campaigning MP meets trade minister
Mark Pawsey MP, who leads the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Professional Sales, has met international trade minister Mike Freer MP to promote the vital role of skilled selling in winning new business around the world.
At the meeting, Mark presented the minister with a copy of the APPG report, Supercharging Sales. The report was researched and compiled by the Institute of Sales Professionals following an MP-led inquiry. The research document highlights the need to invest in business-to-business (B2B) selling for jobs and growth.
The report calls for more to be done in recruiting skilled salespeople to boost the UK economy and find new international business opportunities. It makes three key recommendations:
1) Recognise the importance to the economy of B2B selling
2) Encourage more entrants into the B2B sales profession at SMEs
3) Promote higher sales skills and uptake of digital sales technology
Guy Lloyd, a founding fellow of the Institute of Sales Professionals who leads the secretariat of the APPG commented: “It's great news that the Department for International Trade has taken the time to meet Mark Pawsey MP who chairs the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Professional Sales.
“The work the ISP is doing alongside Mark and his colleagues at Westminster is really important in winning recognition for professional selling. The ISP is working hard to help businesses develop skilled, ethical sales professionals. Government support will make a big difference to our campaign and potentially to the prosperity of the UK. The sales industry is crucial to Britain’s recovery from the pandemic and is central to developing new business with companies around the world.
“We look forward to welcoming trade minister, Mike Freer MP to an APPG meeting in the new year, so he can speak to sales leaders in person.”
Mike Freer, the exports minister at the Department for International Trade is responsible for export promotion across all sectors and supports international trade secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan in helping small and medium sized businesses to export their goods and services.
Business-to-business commerce is hugely valuable to the UK economy, worth an estimated £1.7 trillion annually. B2B companies also pay nearly £22 billion in corporation tax, and employ more than 10 million people.*
In 2021, B2B selling was recategorised by the Office for National Statistics as a professional occupation for the first time, putting it on a par with doctors and teachers, in recognition of the high level of skills and training required. The B2B sector is often listed, in statistics, with retail sales, although their needs are very different. As a result opportunities are missed to put in place policies that could meet the growing demand of businesses for professional salespeople, and facilitate the UK’s B2B trade at home and abroad.

The European arm of Steinhoff International has borrowed up to £180 million of financing to reduce its reliance on the South African retail group.
Pepkor Europe, which operates Poundland, Dealz and Pep&Co, has secured the loan from a US hedge fund in a bid to distance itself from Steinhoff's financial issues, according to the Financial Times.
Andy Bond, the chief executive of Pepkor Europe, said that in spite of Steinhoff's difficulties, its business operations "are all independently profitable, delivering positive cash flows."
Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste resigned last month in the wake of accounting irregularities that could stretch back a number of years.
The group, which owns a number of food, clothing and furniture chains, delayed the publication of its 2017 figures, saying that it would need to restate financial results going as far back as 2015.
Last week, Moody’s Investors Service cut Steinhoff’s rating deeper into junk, saying the company may struggle to refinance or repay some of its debt.

When Hood By Air abruptly canceled its Fall 2017 presentation days before its March 5 slot, we knew something was a(double-faced-shoe-wearing)foot. On Thursday afternoon, a rep for the buzzy streetwear brand confirmed our worst fears: HBA co-founders Shayne Oliver and Leilah Weinraub are putting the brand on hiatus, effective immediately.
Shayne Olivier will be focusing on his new gig at Helmut Lang, where he’s designing a special men’s and women’s capsule collection, due out this September. Leila Weinraub, the company’s chief executive officer, will be working on her film and directorial career. (Her latest project, Shakedown, will feature in the Whitney Biennial in May.)
Don’t worry — all is not lost. At the close of their statement, Olivier and Weinraub assured fans that “HBA will continue to fulfill its creative vision in the near future.” In the meantime, we’ll miss their porn-inspired beauty looks and gender-fluid designs. (As will Rihanna, Kanye West and A$AP Rocky, we imagine.)

Instant cryptocurrency exchange Changelly will start to use digital asset rates from Bitcoin.com’s trading platform. This will ensure better prices for Changelly users and help increase the reach of all SLP tokens that are exclusively listed on Bitcoin.com Exchange.

Changelly to Use Rates From Bitcoin.com Exchange
Bitcoin.com Exchange has announced a new strategic partnership with instant cryptocurrency platform Changelly. The integration of the services will allow Changelly users to gain access to the market rates provided by Bitcoin.com Exchange, wherein Changelly will act as a broker between the exchange and its own users. Changelly’s API will pick up rates from the Bitcoin.com Exchange platform and provide them in real-time directly to its users so they can buy crypto and instantaneously swap between different cryptocurrencies at the best rates available.
The integration with Changelly will also help increase the reach for all SLP tokens that are exclusively listed on Bitcoin.com Exchange. The Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP) is a system built on the Bitcoin Cash network for creating tokens in a permissionless manner. It has helped the development of an ecosystem for BCH that replicates the variety of ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum network. SLP tokens can easily be created, traded, and managed on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain within seconds, with minuscule costs for each transaction. Support for SLP tokens will also soon be added to the official Bitcoin.com Wallet.
“I am pleased to announce our newest partnership with exchange.Bitcoin.com. The Bitcoin.com community is one I have always been a very big fan of, and now our customers will have much better access to bitcoin cash and SLP projects with the launch of their new exchange,” stated Changelly CEO Eric Benz. “Providing the community with the most efficient means to purchase and swap crypto is our goal and mission above all else, and with exchange.Bitcoin.com we are continuing to fulfill our mission by making our services easier for our user-base, and effectively more wide-reaching.”
Changelly has been operating as an instant cryptocurrency exchange service since 2015 and offers access to more than 150 cryptocurrencies on the market. Its website attracts over a million visitors monthly and the platform offers an official mobile app as well as an API which dozens of crypto businesses use to add the instant swap feature to their services. Bitcoin.com Exchange was launched on Sep. 2 as an easy-to-use trading platform that offers world-class security and a powerful trading engine.
New Token Listings on Bitcoin.com Exchange
Bitcoin.com Exchange is set to offer trading on Sideshift.ai’s native SAI token on Friday November 15 at 11:00AM CET. The Sideshift platform is powered by SAI that exists simultaneously as an ERC20, a token on the liquid platform as well as an SLP token. According to the listing announcement, the total token supply amounts to 210 million SAI and no further tokens will ever be minted. Currently, SAI is used to pay up to 50% of revenue back to affiliates. In the future, Sideshift is considering implementing further value-enhancing activities like a buyback and burn, paying stakeholders in SAI, and implementing merchant discounts.
Sideshift has created a system where users can switch between more than 20 different cryptocurrencies and anyone with an access code can start swapping immediately. It came to prominence back when Shapeshift introduced a mandatory membership program. The service is also fully integrated with the Bitcoin.com Wallet which today achieved a major milestone with over 5 million wallets created since the app launched just a little over two years ago.
It was also recently announced that Bitcoin.com Exchange will provide an initial exchange listing to support an interoperable mega-utility token backed by the Universal Protocol Alliance, the Universal Protocol Token (UPT). The new UPT token is expected to be on listed Nov. 20, 2019, and will be available for trading by non-U.S. persons only.

European mother and babycare firm U-Grow on Wednesday announced its foray into the Indian market and said it will invest US $2 million to build its brand in the country.
According to a PTI report: The Romanian firm, which has partnered Sunheri Group for distribution of its products, is targeting consumers in Tier-I cities.
“There is a lot of potential in the Indian market and we will offer products at competitive prices,” Business Head – Europe, U-Grow, G Paul Kherkhes told PTI.
He added that the company will invest US $2 million in the Indian market and ramp it up as required.

In Utah, it’s illegal to live inside a liquor store — so you can shelve that dream — and employees are forbidden from drinking the alcoholic products during business hours.
But that was the scenario that liquor enforcement officers encountered April 4 when they stepped into the state-contracted liquor store in Richmond, about 13 miles north of Logan.
To make matters worse, the employee — the store manager and the son of the operator — sold liquor to a minor.
The State Bureau of Investigation “cited the employee," who has since been let go. But on Tuesday, the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control commission also decided to shut down the northern Utah package agency beginning May 14 and seek new operators.
“The concern is that this seems to be an issue that has continued for some time,” Deputy Director Cade Meier told the commission. “We feel it’s negligence on the part of the management.”
Utah has more than 120 state package agencies, which are privately run outlets in towns too small to warrant a full-size, state-owned store. Operators get monthly payments from the state based on sales volume. But they are required to follow strict rules about alcohol sales.
It’s not the first time the state has shut down a package agency. In September 2017, the DABC closed the store in Tremonton after routine audits showed a string of money losses.
The longtime operator of the Richmond store, Terry Nivison, apologized to the commission for his son who had been living in the back of the store since getting a divorce.
Since receiving the citations, Nivison’s son has been banned from the store and his grandson, Justin Harris, has already taken over. “He is our new manager and will comply with any changes you want to make.”
Nivison said the family has operated the package agency for decades. “I’ve worked behind the counter for over 70 years,” he said. “And my father [had the contract] before me.”
Despite the plea, the commission decided to terminate the agreement and put it out to a wider bid. Nivison and Harris can submit a proposal, the board said.
“It’s an unfortunate personal issue,” said Commissioner Thomas Jacobson, who held up photographs taken by officers of the personal items found in the back of the store. “But the contractor didn’t supervise that, and it’s clear that it wasn’t the first time [the employee] consumed alcohol while working.”
The Richmond store at 16 W. Main will be closed for at least 30 days, possibly longer, said Meier, while the state puts out the required bid requests and signs off on a new operator.
In the interim, consumers wishing to buy liquor will have travel to either Logan — or Preston, Idaho. The mention of the latter location made those in attendance chuckle — because it’s illegal to bring liquor from outside the state into Utah.

Why do Epicor BisTrack customers keep winning prizes?
Award winning timber and building product distribution companies tend to be Epicor BisTrack
software users. Why? What do they have in common? And will implementing an Epicor solution mean you are more likely to win a prestigious industry award?
The majority of the winners at recent UK timber or merchant industry award events use an Epicor solution! The annual London based TTJ (Timber Trades Journal) awards
have just taken place. Now in their 21st year, they showcase the timber sector as a modern and forward-looking industry and they set out to recognise the areas that are vital to business success. This year, out of the 11 awards presented for achievements by companies, seven were given to Epicor BisTrack customers.
The coveted top prize for ‘Timber trader of the year’ went to James Latham – a leading timber importer and distributor of panel products, joinery quality timber and wood flooring. Epicor BisTrack was implemented across the James Latham group ten years ago and its team has remained a pioneer of many of the solution’s key developments – particularly within the reporting module. At the time of implementation, Financial Director, David Dunmow said he chose BisTrack because he believed its ease of use and functionality would lead to less repetitive administration and allow their salesmen to focus on selling. More recently he’s stressed the benefits of having an ERP system like BisTrack that lets you manage all your business processes – eliminating the need to rely on extra third party software. He hates it if one of his team says “I keep a separate spreadsheet for that.” James Latham also won the TTJ award for Flooring Trader of the Year and a Career Development award.
The Softwood Trader of the Year award went to Abor Forest Products – another BisTrack user - who operate one of the most modern timber machining facilities in the UK. Hardwood Trader of the year was taken by Timbmet, another leading timber distributor and long time user of an Epicor solution. Timbmet also has a significant connection to Coast Eco Timber, the company that won the environmental achievement award for its remarkable work in harvesting submerged tropical hardwoods from a Panamanian reservoir – they are marketing this unique and beautiful eco-friendly material in the UK.
Epicor BisTrack user, Panel Supplies, took the Panels Trader of the Year award while Plywood Trader of the Year went to International Plywood, one of the largest and fastest growing importers in the industry – another BisTrack user!
Another Career Development award was presented to T Brewer – a long established importer, sawmiller and merchant and one of the first companies to use BisTrack in the UK. At the time, a T Brewer director said, “Suddenly everything was visible. With dashboard reporting, we could see business as it came in and if it wasn’t at an acceptable margin, or stock wasn’t available, then the correct manager was informed. We were also able to extract and manipulate data which saved us time and enabled us to market the business more effectively.” T Brewer was also an early adopter of BisTrack’s Mobile and Web Track modules. Ten years ago this forward looking team were already mindful of industry surveys demonstrating that builders were increasingly expecting the flexibility of multi-channel shopping for their building materials – and were already supplying a generation of customers who had grown up with the internet and took for granted the ability to check prices and place orders at any time from anywhere – they knew it was the way forward.
We believe it’s no coincidence that so many Epicor customers are award-winning! It’s clear to us that companies - like those highlighted above - who are forward looking, innovative, pioneering and focused on what they are good at, take the selection of their software very seriously and will only choose a solution they see has the capacity to inspire and power their businesses as they continue to move forward.

New Zealand’s competition enforcement agency and regulator The Commerce Commission has launched an online survey aimed at helping telecommunications stakeholders have their say on the next phase of regulation for fibre service providers.
Singtel Optus has become the first to offer access to a 5G mobile service to its wholesale postpaid partners, with the telco announcing on Monday that all mobile virtual network operators who resold its offering could enable and buy its 5G services.
New Zealand’s competition regulator, The Commerce Commission, has released guuidance on how it will monitor and enforce obligations on telecommunication network operators to offer fibre and other wholesale services to retailers on an equivalent and non-discriminatory basis.
NBN Co has further extended its National Broadband Network 40% additional wholesale Connectivity Virtual Circuit (CVC) capacity offer at no extra cost to Internet retailers until the end of November.
Data demand on the National Broadband Network’s main wholesale access service continues to peak above pre-COVID-19 levels as more Australians continue to rely on the network for their work, entertainment and education needs, according to the latest report from NBN Co, the operators of the NBN.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has proposed new terms aimed at improving NBN Co’s wholesale service levels, including a reworked rebate structure increasing the size of rebates for missed appointments, late connections and unresolved faults.
Australia's national broadband network builder and operator NBN Co is proposing to introduce significant discounts and extra capacity inclusions across the majority of its wholesale broadband product range, according to its newly released wholesale pricing review paper.
NBN Co has launched its Sky Muster Plus wholesale service which allows homes and small businesses in the NBN satellite footprint to access unmetered data for essential online activities.
Dedicated NBN voice and data provider to small and medium businesses More Telecom has signed a $20 million two-year contract with Australia's fourth largest telecommunications company Vocus for the supply of NBN products and services.
Telecommunications services provider MNF Group will boost its customer base by 500 wholesale service providers with the proposed acquisition of Inabox, in a deal it says is synergistic to both companies.
Australia’s peak advocacy group for communications consumers, the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network, has raised concerns that consumers currently do not have guarantees in relation to connection, reliability and repair timeframes for broadband with services through their retail service provider and the National Broadband Network (NBN).
Wholesale telecommunications provider, Symbio Networks — part of the MNF Group — has launched a sub-wholesale mobile virtual network operator offer.
Breaches of compliance obligations for separation of its wholesale and retail business caused mainly by staff errors continued to plague Telstra throughout the 2015-2016 financial year, according to a report by the regulator.
Wholesale telecommunications services provider Inabox is claiming to be the first telecommunications aggregator to deliver a wholesale channel mobile product using parts of Telstra’s 4G and 3G mobile network to its customers.
ICT services provider Planet Tel is to acquire wholesale telecommunications aggregator Via IP as a central part of its strategy to focus on the ICT integration market.
Telstra Wholesale has launched a prepaid 3G offering naming existing reseller ispONE as its first wholesale customer.
Telstra is demanding that it should be exempt from being required to provide regulated wholesale ADSL services in at least 289 exchange services areas; that it should not be required to provide wholesale naked ADSL services and that wholesale prices should be set based on retail prices so that it is able to manage network congestion by adjusting retail prices without discriminating against wholesale customers.

Klarna, the leading global payment and shopping service, is launching consumer bank accounts in Germany, with the aim to provide them with further control of their finances. The launch marks a first for the company and will allow customers to easily track, categorize and analyze all of their everyday spending using the Klarna app. A Klarna bank account will come with a Visa debit card which can also be connected to both Google Pay and Apple Pay. The offering will exclusively be made available to a limited number of Klarna’s most loyal consumers to intensively collect and integrate feedback before gradually rolling out to all Klarna users in Germany in the coming months.
With this new product, Klarna provides its consumers with a full Klarna end-to-end experience that puts consumers first: From shopping to keeping track, managing and predicting one’s spendings, the Klarna app enables consumers to have all their finances in one place. In future, German consumers will also be able to set savings goals and benefit from Klarna’s savings accounts product in the Klarna app, which was launched earlier this year in Sweden.
Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna said, “Our focus is to provide a superior shopping experience to our consumers at the intersection of retail and banking. And we know that there’s still massive room for improvement to the way many people bank and save their money today. Users are demanding more seamless, intuitive and transparent services to meet their daily needs, but many banks still do not cater for this. We are very excited to introduce Klarna Banking today, bundling shopping and banking in one app and allowing our consumers to bank in the same seamless way as they shop with Klarna.”
Companies in the financial sector, especially traditional banks, have so far had to struggle with the changes brought about by digitization. According to current figures from the Deutsche Bundesbank, the number of bank branches has fallen back to the level of the 1950s. A study by Bitkom from 2019 shows that 7 out of 10 German citizens do their banking on the internet and that digital offers from their bank are more important than a well-known brand. This development shows an increasing change, which becomes manifest especially in the needs of the customers.
The Klarna Bank Account at a glance
- Self-service sign up with an own developed KYC process called Klarna Ident. Video identification possible, but not necessary.
- 3-click transfers and instant top-ups – money never more than a tip-tap away.
- Smart Budgeting – make monthly budgets for full transparency over spendings across purchase categories.
- Klarna Bank Card – The account includes a Visa debit card, which can be individually selected with the distinctive Klarna card design, available in two colours.

A developer wants to build a grocery store, restaurants, retail and an assisted living facility on a 6.5 acre parcel on East Michigan Avenue.
Several members of council expressed uneasiness with GBA Development LLC’s plans for an 80-room assisted living facility, but the proposal didn’t stop council from extending the city’s purchase agreement with the developer.
In February, the city and GBA Development reached a purchase agreement to sell 6.54 acres of city-owned land on Michigan Avenue, between Zippy’s Auto Wash and The Oaks Shopping Plaza, for $817,500. The original agreement set a 180-day due diligence period. GBA has already exercised a clause that extended that period to Nov. 2. At Monday’s meeting, council voted 7-0 to extend that period another 90 days - until Dec. 18.
City Manager Todd Campbell said GBA has proposed a siteplan that includes retail, restaurants and a grocery store in the front, and an assisted living center on the souther portion of the property. Campbell said the developer needs extra time to secure the tenants it needs to go forward.
Councillor Dean Girbach said the assisted said the assisted living proposal was a change that caused him concern.
“It’s a proposal this council should seriously consider. But at least it’s an attempt to potentially sell this property,” Girbach said.
Councillor Janet Dillon was more pointed.
“It’s quite a deviation from the anticipated use and the assisted living proposal is definitely a concern. It would require more city services, including police, fire, EMS and water usage,” Dillon said. “But I don’t think it impacts the extension of the due diligence period.”
Councillor Christen Mitchell noted that it appeared the proposal would require more parking - or more impermeable surfaces. That means more runoff - which can be an environmental concern. Mitchell asked Campbell if the zoning allowed for an assisted living development. Campbell said that since it was zoned SPA1, it was a proper use.
Proper zoning or not, Mitchell wasn’t enthused about the idea.
“I don’t understand how assisted living quite fits. I really don’t like the fact that the assisted living center is there,” Mitchell said.
The proposal also included a medical center near the assisted living center. That idea appealed to Councillor Heidi McClelland. But, like other council members, she wasn’t enthusiastic about the assisted living facility.
Girbach said the rationale for the assisted living center might be to help out the proposed grocery store. Councillor Linda TerHaar said as she understood assisted living, she didn’t think it would lead to residents walking to the store to buy groceries.
Girbach said he was also somewhat concerned that the owner of the assisted living center might be a non-profit, tax-free enterprise. The city previously identified the conversion of dormant land to tax-generating land as a key motivation for selling the property.
Councillor Jack Ceo said he was not enamored with the idea of an assisted living center on the property.
Mayor Brian Marl said GBA Development LLC officials will like address council with its proposal at a work session before the second November meeting or first December meeting.
Lot 20A is the last city-owned parcel on East Michigan Avenue. A previous sale led to the development of Zippy’s Auto Wash. Another sale led to the ongoing development of the Best Western Premiere hotel and the future development of a new home for Junga Ace Hardware.

Genesco GCO, -2.28% is revising its earnings outlook for the fourth quarter due to weakness in its Johnston & Murphy business and a period of slow retail sales in the middle of the holiday season. The company now expects earnings before items of 60 to 63 cents per share in the quarter, below the average estimate of eight analysts polled by Thomson First Call for profit of 70 cents per share. For the year the Nashville, Tenn., footwear retailer sees earnings before items of $1.51 to $1.55 per share on sales ranging from $828 million to $830 million. Genesco added that it plans to take steps refocus Johnston & Murphy on its "core heritage as a premier men's footwear brand," and improve profitability. The company also explained that the weakness of the U.S. dollar versus the euro is hurting Johnston & Murphy's earnings due to the importance of Italian-made shoes in its product line.

No promo left behind: Samsung cornered 72% of the VR market last year
By now it's clear that Samsung's Gear VR is one of the most popular headsets around - so much so that, when consumers start thinking of a VR headgear, they almost automatically imagine Samsung's bundle offerings. The company made it a deliberate strategy to put its Gear VR in as many hands as possible by giving it away with its flagship handsets in many cases, and has been doing this for a while now. The end result?
Well, according to the latest estimates, Samsung controlled more than 70% of the consumer virtual reality market last year. Yep, its virtual reality department moved 4.51 million Gear VR units last year, or 71.6 percent of the 2016 market that amounted to 6.3 million devices shipped for a grand total of $1.8 billion in revenue.
Next in line was Sony's PlayStation VR with 12.5%, HTC's expensive Vive with 6.7%, and Google's Daydream View with 4.1%, though Google's contraption didn't start shipping until the last quarter, so it's a commendable result still.

- The restaurant industry has been experiencing slow growth.
- McDonald's growth has been soft, and that is impacting its returns.
- YUM! generated better returns in the last year, and will generate better returns than McDonald's moving forward.
The economy remains the key issue. Dining rates dropped over the past two years, and consumers plan to dine out even less in the coming days, based on the latest report from Alix Partners. Still, fast food demand is rising among the youth population, as a result of rising urbanization and a change in lifestyle trends.
According to MarketLine, fast food restaurants are growing faster than other restaurant models because of relative cost advantages and an increasing youth population. Consequently, fast food restaurants are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% in 2014. The growth rate of non-fast food restaurants is coming down. From 2006 to 2010, non-fast food restaurants annual growth rate was at 3.7%, but it is expected to decrease to 3% by the end of 2015. For this article, I picked McDonald's Corp. (NYSE:MCD), a fast food restaurant chain, to see where it stands when compared to YUM! Brands (NYSE:YUM), another group of fast food restaurants. The goal is to gauge which company offers better returns.
Where Does McDonald's Stand?
McDonald's has been facing challenges in generating top- and bottom-line growth over the past few years. In the first quarter, the company reported earnings that resulted in a 1% top-line decline and a 4% bottom-line decline. McDonald's management has been taking measures to cope with flat-to-declining informal eating-out markets. The company has developed a strategy based on five key aspects: People, Products, Place, Price and Promotion. McDonald's plan calls for it to optimize its menu, modernize and upgrade nearly all aspects of its restaurants from design to service, and broaden its accessibility. The company is looking to expand its presence with the opening of new restaurants in both emerging and established markets. To support its menu and growth initiatives, the company is aggressively focusing on its marketing campaigns. McDonald's is seeking to create a greater emotional relationship between customers and its core products through its marketing campaigns.
McDonald's will concentrate on big markets like the U.S., Japan, Germany and Australia which have seen a decline in its comparable sales. The company has reshuffled its marketing strategy for the U.S. to more openly align its marketing efforts with targeted customer segments. In other key markets, it is making moves to strengthen the customer experience by providing better service execution and operations, maximizing its opportunities to grow its breakfast, and balancing focus between its core and new products while supporting them with effective marketing. Except for Germany, McDonald's sales are high in Europe. The Asian region is also growing, and China is among the biggest markets offering the most significant growth.
Where Does YUM! Brands Stand?
YUM! Brands business strategy is focused on two key areas: its Chinese Division and its International divisions. YUM has changed its international and U.S. division into three global brand divisions; Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell. However, its strategy still focuses mainly on China, India and emerging markets and secondly on its other international markets including the U.S. Nearly 50% of its revenue and operating profit comes from China. Thus, YUM! wants to build a strong brand in China by penetrating every significant food category.
YUM! is investing heavily in China to do this. The company is looking to open 700 new restaurants in China. It is increasing KFC and Pizza Hut casual dining restaurants, combined with the additional restaurant concepts of Pizza Hut Home Service and East Dawning. It has also strengthened its market share in China with acquisitions like Little Sheep. The company is increasing the budgets for its marketing campaigns to back its growth initiative.
Its first-quarter results demonstrate that its focus on China is resulting in massive profits. In addition, the company is expecting massive growth potential in that region. In the first quarter, sales from the Chinese region increased by 17%, and operating profit went up by 80%. YUM!'s business strategy will also focus on building a strong brand in key emerging markets like India and other Asian and African countries, along with the rest of the world. YUM! is looking to open a record 1,250 new international units this year. This will be the 15th consecutive year that it opened more than 700 units. It will concentrate on opening units in emerging markets. The company is on its way towards generating 20% earnings per share growth this year, and double digit growth in the coming years.
Which Is the Better Stock to Buy?
Rev Growth (3-Yr Avg.)
Net Income Growth (3 Yr-Avg.)
Because they are fast food restaurants, YUM! and McDonald's do not experience all the challenges that other sorts of restaurants have faced. However, they experience some headwinds because of the economic situation and people's sentiment about dining out. As a result, their growth has been soft over the past few years. Still, they changed their business strategies and performed well. In the last two years, McDonald's generated top- and bottom-line growth, but not been as good as it was before 2011. Consequently, its stock moved up by only 1.36% in 2013. Its financial performance seems to be impacting its share price. Further, the company's dividend growth has also been impacted by the slow demand, particularly in the U.S. In 2013, it increased its dividends by 5.19% compared to 2012, when it increased its dividend by 10% and 2011 when it increased the dividend by 14.75%.
Due to the soft top- and bottom-line growth, McDonald's cash flow has also been negatively impacted. The company's cash flow growth has been stagnant over the past two years, thus, slowing its dividend growth. Amid this, McDonald's has the potential to sustain its dividend as its free cash flow is still high enough to cover its dividend payments.
YUM! on the other hand, experienced hurdles in the past year due to concerns related to the quality of its food in China, fortunately the company has made a healthy rebound. It has demonstrated strong growth in China and all over the world with its innovative business measures. As a result, its dividend growth is better than McDonald's. I believe YUM will continue to beat McDonald's dividend growth just as it has in past years. Although, YUM's valuations are pricey when compared to McDonald's, I still recommend buying YUM's stock because of its potential to generate double digit growth in revenues and earnings.

Last year at IBC we showed you the very first flexible LED light made by Korean company Aladdin. This year at the show they were showing us some of their latest additions to the Flex Light range.
Expanding on their successful 1×1 which we awarded last year, Aladdin are now offering a 2’x 1′ Flex light that allows for a much brighter output and bigger light source. Not stopping there, they have also developed a 4′ x 1′ version that was on display in a giant 3 light configuration on a velcro backed screen. This provided a giant light weight light source that can easily be packed down for transport. A soft box is also under development for the 4′ x 1′ which should provide a large high quality diffused lighting source.
Earlier in the year Aladdin launched a bi-colour Flex LED and at IBC they also showed us a matching softbox and honeycomb grid to better help control the light spread. A nice pancake diffuser was also on display that will work on any of the company’s existing LED Flex lights. This provides a soft lighting source and could easily be mounted to a boom pole or light stand arm.
The 2′ x 1′ Flex lights will be available in at the end of September for around £1500, whether that price will be similar in the US and Asia is unclear. The 4′ x 1′ is expected to be around £1900. For more information head to the Aladdin website.

In 2011, Illinois passed what became known as the “Amazon Tax” by expanding the scope of businesses that had to collect Illinois sales tax. Previously, all online retailers without a physical presence in the state were not required to collect Illinois sales tax. Instead, the individual consumer was expected to report non-taxed online purchases on his or her tax return and pay a “use tax” at that time. The Amazon Tax required certain online retailers to collect and remit sales tax for Illinois purchasers if the retailer conducted “performance marketing” through a company that operated in Illinois.
Performance marketing is an advertisement agreement in which the retailer—Amazon, Overstock, or eBay, for example—pays the advertiser—Facebook, Google, or Northwest Herald online—a commission based upon the number of referrals the advertiser sends to the retailer. Some advertisers are smaller companies that conduct the majority of their business online and may have a specialized clientele desirable to major online retailers. While performance marketing is not exclusive to internet sales, almost all major internet retailers utilize advertisers based in Illinois.
The Illinois Supreme Court struck down the 2011 Illinois law because it conflicted with existing federal law. The Internet Tax and Freedom Act (ITFA) already precludes taxes exclusive to internet sales, but the Amazon Tax requires internet retailers with performance marketing agreements to collect state sales tax. By contrast, the Amazon Tax does not apply to print publishers or radio broadcasting companies. Thus, the Supreme Court stated that because the ITFA does not allow state laws that discriminate against internet activity, and because Illinois law taxes only internet transactions, the law conflicts with federal law and is invalid.
This matter is likely not fully resolved. New York passed a similar Amazon Tax, but the law was upheld. The fact that two states reached opposite conclusions paves the way for an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and possibly federal law governing how states can or cannot tax individuals for interstate purchases. The concept of internet taxation also raises longer-term concerns with traditional point-of-sale vs. destination source taxing if federal law would attempt to dictate a unified method of internet sales taxation.
From a municipal perspective, the ruling may have positive implications for local businesses. Some major online retailers enacted policies where they would not enter performance marketing agreements with Illinois companies or other states that adopted similar Amazon Taxes. The consequence is that several Illinois advertisers at least contemplated moving to another state, such as Indiana or Wisconsin, especially if they were already operating near another state’s border. For the time being, businesses interested in being an online advertiser have no disincentive to begin or continue operating in Illinois.
