Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products. Any effort that goes into reusing and recycling old products plays a part in caring for the environment.
It’s no secret that recycling is important in today’s world. According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the UK generated 222.9 million tonnes of waste in 2016; the residential sector contributed to more than 80 per cent of the total amount. With wastage reaching record levels in the UK over the past years, the government is implementing the European Commission’s Circular Economy Action Plan. One of the targets within the plan is for the country to recycle at least 50 per cent of household waste by 2020. By 2017, the household recycling rate reached 45.7 per cent.
If you consider household waste to recycle, fizzy drink cans, milk cartons, water bottles, newspapers and cardboard might be the first things that come to mind. However, there are a many other items that you may not consider as recyclable, so throw away.
Here are some items that you might find surprising:
Dental prosthetics, or false teeth, may seem an odd thing to recycle. However, many dental practices do accept old dentures for recycling. If your local dentist is unable to provide a recycling service, the Japan Denture Recycling Association is known to collect old dentures from around the world, and remove the metal.
In the UK, an estimated 167,000 tonnes of mattress end up in landfills every year. Mattress recycling has emerged as an effective business opportunity in recent years due to landfill pressures and environmental concerns. The recycling facilities separate the wood, metal, foam, fabric and plastic. Once separated, these items are recycled and sold to scrap metal merchants or rug making companies, among others. Once you’ve decided to replace your saggy mattress, consider recycling. It could become part of an expensive carpet or garden furniture.
A recent research article showed several studies from different scientists found tiny pieces of plastics in fresh water, waste water and even drinking water. These tiny plastics are called microplastics. Contact lenses contribute to the trillions of microplastic particles already in the water supply. With an estimated 20 per cent of the 3.7 million contact lens users flushing their old lenses down the toilet, that translates into billions of microplastic particles added to the environment every year. Some recycling companies have partnered with eye health products companies to create programmes for used lenses. So the next time you or a friend think of disposing of old lenses, check for the nearest drop off locations for recycling.
It’s a little known fact, but cigarette butts are made of cellulose acetate plastic. This kind of plastic absorbs toxic substances like tar, lead and arsenic. In the UK, a cigarette waste mail-in recycling programme is gaining popularity. During the process, the butts are separated into their paper, tobacco and plastic parts. The first two are composted, while the acetate is melted and repurposed into plastic products.
Communities across the country understand the importance of recycling. Many programmes are being established to recycle items that were not recyclable before. Reach out to your local recycling centre to find out what items can be donated.

Darden Restaurants Inc. DRI -0.92 % said Thursday that it would repurchase $500 million in shares under an accelerated buyback program, using part of the proceeds of its Red Lobster sale to fund the deal.
Darden closed its Red Lobster sale earlier this week. When it struck the deal in May, the company said it expected to receive proceeds of about $1.6 billion, with part of that sum going toward share buybacks of up to $700 million.
The company said it would pay dealers—Goldman Sachs & Co. and Wells Fargo Bank, NA—in August and will receive an initial delivery of about 8.6 million shares in October. Final settlement of the deal is expected in December, although the completion date may be sped up or extended.
The move comes days after the Olive Garden operator, which has been under pressure from activist investors to split up, shook up its management ranks.
Chairman and Chief Executive Clarence Otis will step down by the end of the year, and the company said it would nominate only nine members to its 12-member board at the next annual meeting, leaving the other three open for potential nominees from Starboard Value LP.
Starboard, which owns about 8% of Darden's stock and had opposed the Red Lobster sale, dismissed the moves as "just one small step" and "a token change." Starboard is looking to replace the entire Darden board.
A representative for Starboard wasn't immediately available for comment.
Shares of Darden rose nearly 2% in recent premarket trading.

American company Electron EV will knock in India soon
US-based Electron EV on Monday announced that it will foray into the electric vehicle (EV) segment of the Indian market.
This EV company has planned to bring electric commercial vehicles such as delivery vans, trucks and buses in the country.
According to the information shared by the company, it is coming to India with plans to make its facilities available in both B2B and B2C markets with its products and end-to-end mobility solutions.
The company’s aim is to improve technology
Electron EV Founder Rakesh Koneru said, “As the EV segment in India is growing rapidly, we are planning to introduce the company’s best EV technology through our products along with the charging infrastructure here.
This EV company also aims to work on the limitations of battery technology, prices of electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, expensive batteries and the time taken to fully charge an EV.
New companies in the Indian commercial electric vehicle market
Many companies like Switch Mobility and UPS have introduced their commercial electric vehicles in the Indian market. The Switch recently introduced the EiV 12 electric bus, which claims to offer a range of 300 kms on a single charge.
Notably, Switch Mobility is the electric vehicle division of leading commercial vehicle maker Ashok Leyland. The company has introduced this electric bus in two variants.
America’s Ability Electric also came to India
Recently, another US-based electric vehicle maker, Biliti Electric, also announced to start its business in India.
This company introduced the world’s first Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) powered electric three wheeler, which has been named ‘Fastmile’.
Ability Electric also entered into a partnership with Hyderabad-based Gayam Motor Works (GMW) in India last year, under which it will operate in India.
At present, the sales of electric vehicles in India have seen an increase.
According to government data, their sales have registered a three-fold increase in the last one year.
According to a report by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, by August 3, 2022, their number on Indian roads stood at 13.92 lakh.
This also revealed that the commercial sector is ahead of the private vehicle sector in the adoption of EVs.

Denmark inspires EU to reduce burdens for businesses
21 May 2015
The EU proposes to copy Danish model for easing administrative burdens for businesses. The objective is to reduce the cost of doing business across the EU.
Inspired by Denmark, the EU Commission has proposed to set up a stakeholder platform for European companies to report complicated rules.
In Denmark, the creation of the Business Forum for Simpler Rules, established by the Danish government, has significantly reduced the complexity of the Danish regulatory jungle.
“Denmark is Europe’s easiest country for doing business, according to the World Bank in 2012-2015. One of the reasons for this top ranking is Denmark’s continuous focus on eliminating red tape and administrative burdens for businesses”, says Claus Lønborg, CEO, Copenhagen Capacity.
Huge potential to reduce the cost of doing business
Businesses in Denmark spend DKK 29.3bn annually on handling administrative burdens in order to comply with the government regulation. 51% of the administrative burdens derive from EU regulation. Introducing a model similar to the Danish one will reduce the cost of doing business across the EU, according to the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI).
With the proposal, the EU Commission wants politicians and officials to take into account the impact on businesses throughout the decision-making process in the EU. Among other things, the EU Commission proposes to introduce systematic impact assessments of major amendments proposed by the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament.

text: Surely many people remember that Microsoft has announced its intention to abandon the already familiar P2P model in favor of cloud infrastructure. Finally, they found out the dates for the final transition to the cloud, which may leave users of outdated devices without communication with their friends and family.So, a huge number of users have less than a month to enjoy communication in Skype: from March 1 of this year, it will be impossible to sign in to the old versions of the program. The most acute problem is for lucky owners of gadgets from Microsoft, because now will be supported only by the latest operating system: Windows 10, while the majority of owners of such devices are still using version 8.1. Of course, the transition to the cloud infrastructure will cause Skype inaccessibility for users of other operating systems. Thus, on March 1, Skype for Windows version 7.16 and below will stop working, as well as Skype for Mac from 7.0 to 7.18. As for the mobile OS, the program will be completely unavailable on gadgets running Android 4.0.2 and below, as well as older iOS 8.0. In general, these changes were not something unexpected, because the first such reports began to appear last year. So, for those who plan to continue to communicate using Skype, should have enough time to choose and purchase a more modern mobile device or update the operating system on a PC. For those who for some reason do not plan to do this, we can recommend to choose another way of communication with relatives and friends, such as ooVoo, or Viber or other messengers, which already have a function of video calls.

Egypt - Volkswagen needs to open new letters of credit (LCs) to secure spare parts to continue operations in Egypt, Al-Mal News reported on September 26th, citing Medhat Ismail, Sales and Marketing Director at Egyptian Automotive and Trading, the agent of Volkswagen and Audi brands in Egypt.
The stock of spare parts at Volkswagen’s Egyptian agent is sufficient to support the operations of the service center for up to three months, Ismail added.
Ismail stressed that the company is facing difficulties related to customs release and imports due to a shortage of financing required to pay dues to global partners.
He noted that the facilitation of imports is necessary, as import transaction takes around three months.
Ismail said that a limited number of Volkswagen cars were released from ports in the few past days and will be delivered to customers with preorders.
The top executive added that large numbers of the brand’s cars are stuck at ports as the banking sector prioritizes securing foreign currency for importing strategic commodities and essential goods other than cars.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has forced a majority of Americans into spending more time at home than ever before, many of those folks are venturing outside. Back and front yards have become places to more safely socialize with others, Zen getaways, and sources of fresh fruit and vegetables. Folks are even escaping their partners' annoying Zoom calls by stepping out the door.
Not surprisingly, the top landscaping trends of 2021 are expected to be pandemic-inspired as the health crisis drags on. These trends include turning outdoor spaces into year-round amenities, more vegetable gardens cropping up, and turning backyards into activity zones for the whole family, according to a recent report from Tilly. The online design company creates landscaping plans for clients across the country.

Weddings, holidays and houses. They’re the three biggest life events members of Gen Y are interested in saving for, according to a recent national poll conducted by REST industry super fund.Saving for a wedding is one of the top priorities for Gen Y
The online poll, which looked at the saving habits of 1006 young people aged 18-30, showed that of those Gen-Yers working full time, more were likely to save for a big life event, such as an overseas holiday or wedding, than they were for a house deposit.
The survey showed that saving for weddings, holidays and other big events took precedence over paying off existing mortgages and credit cards or saving for a new car and indicate that Gen Y are more interested in enjoying experiences than material goods.
“We are not surprised that many young people are more likely to save for a big holiday or wedding than a deposit for a house, given that these experiences are usually a priority at this stage in their life.” says REST Industry Super CEO Damian. “And while it appears that young people are good short-term savers, we have often encouraged our members to consider their long-term financial position and to seek financial advice.”
The national poll, which was conducted over a week in January this year, also found that about 62 per cent of Gen-Yers had experienced sleepless nights due to financial stress; that 66 per cent regularly put money away from their paychecks and that 61 per cent were never taught how to save money.
“What we found was an alarming number of young Australians spending sleepless nights worrying about their financial position,” said REST CEO Damian Hill.
“Considering such a high percentage of the young people we surveyed have never received any financial advice, it’s not surprising that they have ongoing financial worries.”

Digital transformation has introduced smart technology that has helped add ease and optimization into many of the mundane daily processes that we handle at work and in our personal lives. One of the most impactful technologies brought forth during the digital revolution is the Internet of Things (IoT), as the devices have paved the way for the creation of the “smart” industry.
Smart technology is currently used at a consumer level quite frequently, with voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home already permeating thousands of households around the world.
However, where smart technology is truly making a profound impact is in the industrial sector, helping to revolutionize manufacturing. By using this IoT tech on equipment to acquire and process real-time data, intelligent manufacturing allows manufacturers a complete, 360-degree high-fidelity virtual data-driven integrated view of all operations, from suppliers and supply chains, enhancing productivity and reducing the time of the manufacturing process.
The global smart manufacturing market was valued at USD 254.24 billion in 2022, and is expected to reach USD 297.20 billion by the end of 2023. As for future growth, experts estimate that the market will grow at a CAGR of 14.9 percent, bringing the predicted market value to USD 397.12 billion by 2029. However, as enterprises around the world begin to implement smart devices into their manufacturing processes and find new avenues for the technologies used, these market numbers could grow beyond expert predictions.
Recently, eight partners from five countries announced they share the goal of strengthening European shipyards in global competition. Based on CONTACT Elements, they will develop a new platform that digitizes shipbuilding end-to-end and makes it more efficient. The EU is funding the research project through its innovation program Horizon Europe.
In the Smart European Shipbuilding (SEUS) project, shipyards, universities, and software manufacturers are bundling their expertise to raise shipbuilding in Europe to a new efficiency level. Their ambitious goal is to reduce development and assembly times by 30 and 20 percent through a collaboration platform.
“To achieve this, we are developing an Industry 5.0 concept that considers all core tasks in shipbuilding right through to service,” says Dr. Elisabeth Brandenburg from CONTACT Research.
The SEUS consortium will integrate shipbuilding-specific development tools, AI, and novel knowledge management techniques into CONTACT Elements, and leverage the platform’s PLM and project management modules. This will create a comprehensive, user-oriented application environment that securely provides all product data, controls the development process, and documents it so that it can be tracked internally and externally at any time.
The economic benefits of such an industry platform are obvious: engineering, simulation, and software teams can collaborate closely from the early stages, include manufacturing-related and sustainability requirements in their design decisions, and bring new ships to market faster and at a lower cost.
“The digitalization of the product creation process also makes it possible to utilize our IoT applications,” says CONTACT’s project manager Dr. Brandenburg. “This would allow staff to use the ships’ operational data for predictive maintenance or product improvements, for example.”
Two shipyards with different profiles – the Norwegian Ulstein Group and the Spanish Astilleros Gondan SA – are contributing their know-how to the project and will test the practicality of the new platform and its solutions.
The SEUS project will run for four years and is supported with around 7 million euros by Horizon Europe, the EU’s flagship program for research and innovation. The consortium leader is the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The Finnish company Cadmatic, a leading software provider of shipbuilding solutions and OEM partner of CONTACT, is responsible for the technical management. Other project members are SARC BV with its CAE expertise, the NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences (both from the Netherlands), and the University of Turku in Finland.

Soaring Innogy nears £3bn deal
INNOGY, the company behind NPower, saw its market value rise £132m as it drew closer to agreeing a £3bn cash offer from German utility RWE. A formal announcement is expected later this week. At 257 3/4p, up 11 3/4p, Innogy is still well under the expected offer of 273p.
Investors are uncertain the duo can pull off the deal. Not only have negotiations been protracted, but some fear the current bid may not win the backing of Innogy's major shareholders.
Invesco, which owns more than 6.5%, says Innogy is worth closer to 300p. Fund manager Neil Woodford says the current bid may undervalue Innogy's Regenesys battery power-storage business. But he will not make up his mind until he has seen a firm offer.
Another big investor says a recommendation from the board will seal the bid, especially with no other suitors on the horizon. He sees Innogy, spun out of the old National Power generating business 19 months ago, dropping to 220p if the deal fails.

One of the biggest problems gamers have with Microsoft is that the company relies too heavily on multiplatform games, and haven’t done enough to boost its first-party lineup. Seems like Redmond is taking a step in the right direction, as they’ve created a brand new first-party game development studio, one that will be responsible for developing “core” games.
From the new studio’s website:
“MGS Vancouver is building a world-class development team in Vancouver, BC, Canada, dedicated to making games for “core” gamers. Our mission is to push the limits of proven and unexplored game development and show the world what’s possible on Microsoft’s game consoles. And yes, we’re also an awesome place to work!”
We’re hiring! Our team is growing and we want you to join us! Check out our Careers section and new Job Postings to see if you’d be a good fit.”
New IPs are always a plus, and if MS can start developing some more awesome Xbox 360 exclusives, it’ll boost the firm’s lineup immensely, and I’ll be a much more happy camper.

I wouldnt pin the blame on them for throwing the bath towel in and permitting myspace deal with the fraud reports. Myspace CEO Mark Zuckerberg actually acknowledge inside the Congressional testimony that “ it is a place, content policy enforcement, that we need to do a lot better on as time passes.”

Twitter lead confidentiality regulator in European countries keeps lifted concerns about a couple of smart Ray-Ban sunglasses the technical giant has become promoting. The specs add a face-mounted digital camera which are always simply take photos and brief videos with a verbal cue.
Ireland information safeguards fee (DPC) stated Friday so it requested the technology icon to demonstrate that a Light-emitting Diode indicator light also installed on the features — which lighting right up whenever the consumer was using a video clip — is an excellent way of getting other individuals on notice that these are typically being taped by the individual.
Italy privacy watchdog, the Garante, currently elevated issues about myspace smart specs — but Ireland keeps an outsized part as a regulator when it comes to technical giant because of where team local base is based.
Fb revealed exactly what it couched because the “next step” on the path to creating a couple of augmented reality smart glasses a complete year back — stating initial specs wouldn’t normally add any AR but announcing a multi-year relationship deluxe eyewear monster Luxottica, whilst apparently in the offing for a pipeline of progressively feature-loaded smart eyeglasses.
The most important fb Ray-Ban-branded specs continued deal earlier on this period — appearing generally like a general pair of glasses but that contain two 5 MP digital cameras mounted on the leading that let the individual to capture video of whatever theyre looking at and upload they to a new Facebook application known as View. (The glasses additionally have in-frame speakers so the consumer can tune in to tunes and just take telephone calls.)
The specifications likewise incorporate a front side attached Light-emitting Diode light and that’s likely to switch on to point whenever a video clip has been taped. Nevertheless European regulators are concerned that exactly what the DPC describes as a “very tiny” signal was an inadequate method for alerting individuals to the risk they’ve been getting recorded.
Myspace has not shown it conducted detailed industry screening regarding the tool with a view to examining the confidentiality hazard it might present, they put.
“while it’s accepted that many gadgets like smart phones can capture third party people, really usually the circumstances that camera and/or cellphone is visible once the equipment in which tracking is happening, thus getting those grabbed when you look at the tracks on notice. Utilizing the specs, discover a tremendously smaller sign light which comes on whenever tracking is happening. It’s not become demonstrated to the DPC and Garante that detailed assessment in that particular niche was actually accomplished by Facebook or Ray-Ban so that the signal directed light is an efficient means of providing find,” the DPC blogged.
Myspace lead EU data security regulator continues on to say this was contacting the technical monster to “confirm and indicate that the LED indication light is beneficial because of its objective and run a suggestions promotion to notify the public as to how this newer consumer goods may give advancement to much less obvious tracking of the images”.
Fb was actually called with issues.
a fb representative advised all of us: “We discover men and women have questions about new engineering as well as how they work plus it crucial that you united states that individuals are included in this discussion. We will be working with our regulatory lovers, such as the Irish DPC as our very own contribute regulator, to help people see more about exactly how this latest tech works, and the settings obtained.”
The company additionally said that it interested together with the DPC prior to the launch regarding the specs and mentioned they continues to achieve this. In addition remarked that the specs integrate an off turn.
The Irish regulator verified it was briefed by Twitter concerning specs compliance with data security ahead of the release but deputy commissioner, Graham Doyle, said it was not consulted on items characteristics.
“We comprise briefed and supplied with details on conformity with data security specifications during the summer but not consulted regarding the development of the item (build and feature[s] got already been complete whenever they found all of us),” he mentioned.
The specifications continued deal previously this month — charging $299 in the usa. Myspace verified also presently available in Ireland and Italy in the EU and also in the UK.
Throughout the years, fb have postponed (if not halted) several of its product launches in European countries appropriate regulating issues — such as a face marking element (which it later reintroduced in another kind).
The launch of myspace dating services in Europe was also delayed for more than nine months — and appeared with claimed changes after an input because of the DPC.
There are ongoing limits how the Facebook-owned messaging program WhatsApp can express information with Twitter itself in Europe, once more due to regulating rebel. Although a number of information do however stream from WhatsApp to Facebook in EU and — zooming out — scores of confidentiality complaints resistant to the technology huge remain under investigation in the area, meaning these problems were undecided and unenforced.
Earlier this month Ireland DPC performed declare its first decision against a Twitter company (underneath the EU GDPR) — striking WhatsApp with a $267 penalty regarding visibility problems. Nevertheless the DPC has multiple unresolved grievances against myspace or Facebook-owned companies however on their desk.
In January the Irish regulator additionally decided to “swiftly” fix a (pre-GDPR) 2013 criticism against Facebook facts transfers outside of the EU to the United States. That choice remains pending too.

This doctor makes yard calls
Strolling through Rudy Kirchner’s backyard, there doesn’t seem to be much out of the ordinary. Pine needles are scattered across the lawn, star fruit hangs from a tree and a tarp-covered trailer sits in the corner.
But under that tarp is something eye-catching — there are dozens of five-gallon jugs of vinegar.
Why vinegar? It’s the main component in the homemade, Dr. Kirchner’s Natural Weed Killer.
For 12 years, Kirchner was spraying the chemical weed killer Round Up at the lawn maintenance company he owned. The self-proclaimed “Tree Doctor” was a certified arborist from Indian River State College
“The lawn business I started in 2003 grew and grew and grew, but at the same time I was getting sicker and sicker from handling all the chemicals,” Kirchner said. “So, the first thing I did was sub out the chemical side of the business. But, as a lawn dude, you have to spray Round Up. I couldn’t sub that out. I was still sick, so I sold the entire business.”
Almost immediately after selling the company, Kirchner’s symptoms were gone.
“Within a week of not spraying the chemicals, I felt better.” Said Kirchner.
That’s when it dawned on him that there might be a better way to kill weeds.
“I just started doing research on how to make a safe, natural product that would kill weeds,” he said. “I found a ton of recipes that use vinegar, salt, and soap.”
Kirchner said it took some digging to figure out how to make his concoction affordable. He says vinegar isn’t cheap and the stuff in the store isn’t exactly potent either.
“The vinegar you buy in the store is a low concentration of vinegar,” he said. “All I did was find the active ingredients in vinegar and started searching where I could buy that. Vero Chemical, right here in town, led me to a company in Miami where I can buy 55-gallon drums of highly concentrated vinegar. It’s six times stronger than what you would find at the grocery store.”
Then comes the labor-intensive gathering and mixing of ingredients. That's where the trailer full of vinegar comes in.
“I keep them covered because the sun tears up these jugs,” Kirchner explained. “I can load the trailer with about 70 jugs in an hour and a half, filled and ready to go to the ocean.”
That’s right. Kirchner hooks his trailer up to his truck and hauls the jugs to the Fort Pierce Inlet during high tide, where he fills each one with saltwater straight from the ocean. Once he gets the jugs back to his house, that’s when he adds the soap.
“Never put the soap in until the last step,” he says. “Think about it: soap in a jug and then water? You’ll have foam everywhere!”
When asked if his recipe was some sort of secret formula, Kirchner said, “No. All I’m doing is the same thing grandma did 50 years-ago, way cheaper — and supercharging it.”
His product has been such a hit that at the 2017 Keep Indian River Beautiful Award Banquet, Dr. Kirchner’s Natural Weed Killer took the prize for Environmental Small Business of the Year.
Kirchner has a grassroots approach to marketing, too.
“I have four retail places (that sell Dr. Kirchner’s) up and down the Treasure Coast: Busy Bee, The Jungle in Melbourne, Beech Annuals and Brown’s Family Market in Fort Pierce,” Kirchner says. “But 95 percent of what I sell comes from when I meet somebody: they’ve heard about it; I show them how it works and they buy it. Those stores give great publicity but networking is how I sell most of the product.”
Kirchner is a big believer in person-to-person networking: he goes to networking meetings three to five times per week.
“When I first started, I was hoping I could do some advertising and getting people to start buying it,” he said. “But I was just throwing money down the drain. It’s all about networking.”

For the first time, HatchCare chicks have been born in the United Kingdom. Specifically, these first chicks were hatched on July 16 in Boston, Lincolnshire, U.K., and were directly provided with feed, water and light post-hatch.
HatchTech commissioned the HatchCare hatchery together with Annyalla Chicks, a family business that runs independent hatcheries in Ireland and the U.K.
Following the positive results of several field trips to HatchCare hatcheries and farms, equipping this hatchery with HatchCare was selected for Annyalla Chicks.
John Mawer, CEO of Annyalla Chicks says, “The evidence I’ve seen shows improvement in many areas, including enhanced hatching results, superior technical performance at broiler level and reduced medication requirements. Above all, the biggest attraction for us is the much-improved welfare it brings to our chicks.”
The hatchery will produce 500,000 day-old chicks in the first phase, with the possibility of extending this to 2.2 million day-old chicks within the existing building. HatchTech delivered the whole package of incubation solutions – from setters and HatchCare units to heating, cooling and ventilation equipment.
“We’re very pleased with this successful startup and the entrance of HatchCare chicks into the UK market. We’re proud to be able to provide Annyalla Chicks with all the benefits of early feeding, such as improved welfare conditions, undisrupted development of the birds and better technical performance at broiler farm level. We’re really looking forward to a successful rollout,” says Michiel van Veldhuisen, international sales manager with HatchTech.
Besides building a HatchCare hatchery, Annyalla Chicks also commissioned a HatchTraveller. This enables the chicks to eat during transportation, which will enhance chick quality and positively contribute to their development. The HatchTraveller will be supplied in September.

As the economy continues to slow, Americans are making up for higher prices by shopping at low price retailers like Wal-Mart. Sales got a boost with the economic stimulus checks, especially in grocery, entertainment, and health and wellness. Shoppers reportedly cashed about $350 million in tax rebate checks at Wal-Mart stores.
“The Wal-Mart U.S. underlying business remains strong,” Chief Financial Officer Tom Schoewe said in a statement. “However, consumers and small business owners remain concerned about the economy, inflation and, most of all, higher gas prices.”
What Else is Up?
As consumer hope dwindles, we adjust our shopping habits accordingly. Who else is benefiting from the recent economic woes?

The first fruit is already on its way to the Netherlands
Costa Rica: Hass avocado producers want to grow in the European market
The president and vice president of the Cantonal de Tarrazu Agricultural Center, David Calvo Mora and Francisco Elizondo Ureña, said they hoped the Hass avocado production of their associates would conquer the European markets.
In July last year, they began the process to be certified by the Global GAP standard, which is required by the European market, and plan to formalize exports next year.
The producers received guidance from officials of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG). They learned about the packaging system, about the process and the details in the handling of this type of commercial relationships; they selected, washed, packed, calibrated, and palletized the fruit that left Costa Rica on Friday, February 23, and that is expected to arrive to the Netherlands in 20 days.
According to Elizondo Ureña, two people will travel to the Netherlands to participate in the control of the fruit on March 12, 2018, when the shipment arrives, and to give traceability to the product.
They said this first trial experience would help them establish export channels to Europe and that they were backed by the Exotic Fruit and Export SA companies.
According to estimates from Tarrazu's CAC, there are 2 thousand hectares planted with Hass avocado in the area that produce about 8 thousand tons. Currently they are promoting an increase in the quality of the fruit in order to be more competitive.

We have exciting news for fans of Need for Speed: Unbound. The developers recently announced the release of a new update, 1.1.4, on the official website of the game.
This update is focused on improving the stability of the game and has been released on all platforms where Need for Speed: Unbound is available. In addition to standard balance fixes and the elimination of minor bugs, the developers have also made a number of specific changes to the game.
One of the vehicles in the game, the Volkswagen Golf GTI (1976), has been rebalanced to reduce its acceleration in high gears.
Additionally, an issue where the transmission options did not affect the vehicle’s top speed as expected has been fixed. Another vehicle, the Koenigsegg Regera, has had its maximum acceleration reduced and its cornering ability improved.
The update also includes improved Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) quality on the PlayStation 5, as well as added warning messages to prevent losing progress when the game is not saving properly and when the game detects a configuration below the minimum specifications on PC. Additionally, various stability fixes have been implemented to reduce the chance of the game crashing.
In addition to the update, the game team is working on bringing new, free content to the game. Although details are not yet available, we can expect to learn more about this new content in March.
Need for Speed: Unbound was released on December 2, 2020 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. With this new update, fans of the game can look forward to even more enjoyable and stable gameplay experience.

The future of blockchain
We already know that blockchain technology has huge potential for all industries, including energy, healthcare, trade finance, and many more. But what will 2019 bring for the technology and what are the implications?
Security token offerings (STOs) are starting to become more and more popular. People have started to see the recurring pitfalls with ICOs (initial coin offerings) and are being put off by the number of scams and the risks involved when committing to one.
This year, the rise of STOs is expected to continue and gain more attraction from investors as they have proven to have many advantages. STOs are normally backed by real-life assets that act as a security. Security tokens aim to serve as a blockchain-based store of real-world value, whether by tokenising existing assets (such as precious metals, stocks and bonds, or real estate) or by serving as a currency.
Blockchain as a Service
Another key trend for 2019 is going to be Blockchain as a Service (BaaS). We are increasingly seeing the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology from start-ups right through to huge corporations and tech giants. Not all companies have the ability or time to integrate blockchain into their community. To help them out with capitalising on the increasing demand for the technology, major companies such as Microsoft have started to use Blockchain as a Service.
Even though it is not particularly a new trend, the service is set to grow bigger. It will allow firms to build their own blockchain architecture without the need to maintain the infrastructure as BaaS does this for them.
Hybrid blockchains are an up-and-coming trend set to hit the sector this year. They borrow elements from both private and public blockchains. This is done to create a dual experience for users and companies alike.
The term ‘hybrid’ is used to describe a blockchain that aims to use the best parts of both private and public blockchain solutions to create one super blockchain. They aim to create controlled access whilst having freedom for users at the same time.
Blockchain in healthcare
The overall landscape and future of healthcare is growing, and blockchain is helping this to happen. The use of blockchain has the power to bring about great changes to the system. With the technology, patients’ information can be safeguarded, bringing power back to the patients.
Not just that, but the blockchain revolution can also ensure that doctors and patients alike can facilitate peer-to-peer appointments. This means long waiting queues can be avoided and doctors can receive requests personally and be able to confirm their availability instantly.
Final thoughts for 2019
The future of blockchain is looking bright, with 2019 set to be a great year for the growth of the technology. We can already see from these four areas that the technology has the power to revolutionise the way businesses and sectors work.

text: THE mushrooming of commercial space and business activity in Causeway Bay, North Point and Quarry Bay has given North Point's City Garden Hotel a boost in corporate clients. The 615-room mid-range hotel, which celebrated its fifth anniversary yesterday, saw its average room occupancy climb to the low 90s during the past 12 months. General manager George Kuk said: ''The growth of new commercial buildings in Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay in particular has generated a lot of corporate business for us.'' Average room rates stand at $480. Mr Kuk said that with the rapid growth of corporate clients, rates were expected to go up next year. The hotel enjoys a market mix of up to 40 per cent business travellers, with the rest being group tours and others. The number of Taiwanese and mainland Chinese travellers have been increasing in the past 14 to 15 months. ''However, the number of Chinese visitors experienced a drop following the austerity measures introduced in China a few months ago,'' he said. He expected more visitors from Japan and Australia next year, and the hotel's current room occupancy to be maintained.

Purported as one of the most credible operators within the digital finance world, FTX’s ascendancy looked like something dreamed up by a Hollywood film producer. The third largest crypto exchange’s worth, at the height of its success, had a dizzying amount of zeros before the decimal point. Its dagger sharp fall over the past fortnight has not been any less dramatic. Where and how it went wrong can be gleaned from all manner of news articles on the topic. What we are keen to analyse here are the implications that this will have on blockchain-based functionalities in the metaverse and Web 3.0.
What the FTX scandal means for applications on the blockchain
The collapse of FTX and the ensuing fallout across the cryptocurrency market has shown the fragility of business models that rely too heavily on cryptocurrency and token pricing to attract and retain users. Not only has investment fallen, applications, metaverse worlds and blockchain games studios have seen a cataclysmic drop in the valuation of their tokens as a result of the bankruptcy of one of the market’s biggest exchanges. They will surely feel the sting as users back away from ecosystems whose value hinged on the economic potential of earned or traded digital assets. Add to this the catastrophic PR ensuing from the knavery engaged in by one of the sector’s most trusted institutions, followed by the loss of billions of dollars in value from an industry which is still widely seen as having little intrinsic worth, no regulation and whose business models revolve around little other than speculation, and it’s clear to see the serious predicament the sector has been left in, especially regarding the attraction of new users.
In its totality, the financial chaos, bad form and volatility of FTX’s crash will have left a bad taste in the mouths of any future investors. It has broken already waning trust in the cryptocurrency industry and possibly impacted the development of Web 3.0.
Where does blockchain go from here?
As bruising as the scandal surrounding FTX has been to the cryptocurrency world, it is worth holding on to the fact that the blockchain technology it sits upon is not to blame. It is quite the contrary, as its very purpose is to disintermediate the centralised banking institutions that take a cut out of every transaction and to make each fiscal interaction transparent. The system is constructed to be open and trustworthy. Its functionality is also not limited to cryptocurrency alone even though this is what has taken up more of the headlines. There are smart contracts that are written on blockchain to protect ownership of assets and tokens created with accompanying rules to incentivise open source contributors. In the creative industry, artists can secure full rights to their digital creations and even go on to earn from re-sales. Not only that, the blockchain has largely been embraced as the de facto infrastructure for the metaverse. This is because it provides a powerful framework for decentralised economies. Such functionality has already been used to underpin play-to-earn games and NFT based creator economies, driving the growth of Web 3.0 in the public consciousness. Beyond this, the blockchain is seen as a means for overcoming the challenge of interoperability and unified identity across apps and virtual worlds, and thus as a means of bringing a true, equitable and open metaverse into fruition.
FTX may be gone but Web 3.0 advances onwards
While the reverberations of the FTX scandal will continue to be felt and have certainly left a negative impact on attitudes to investment in cryptocurrencies, given time, these attitudes will change. The clearest signal that the fallout has made is the urgent need for regulation and this will also be a catalyst for the change in attitudes. The removal of FTX as a major actor may also create room for new players with innovative practices and business models that will move the industry forward. There has already been a noticeable shift in investment from CEX to DEX. Ultimately, it isn’t only regulation that will revive the cryptocurrency industry but also the fact that it has to serve a need. In this vein, we may find that the Metaverse will give it a renewed lease of life — a purpose built ecosystem where it will fuel the economic central nervous system. For its part, the application of blockchain as well the advancement of Web 3.0 offer far too many benefits — decentralisation, transparency, interoperability, ownership, composability, to name a few — that creators, developers and brands are looking for to be held back.
For those looking to set up a successful enterprise within Web 3.0, Hadean is ready to provide a proven, trusted and secure metaverse infrastructure platform to help you build, run and monetise it. We are working with and looking for new partners who want to join us in fulfilling the true potential of extended reality. A metaverse that will do away with ‘back-doors’ and untrustworthy practices and will instead be an open, secure and accessible space that adds to our understanding, development and evolution.Back

A peak retailers' body has warned that tobacconists and those who transport cigarettes could become targets for thieves after the cigarette price rise overnight.
The Australian Retailers Association said stores could be broken into and drivers held up as cigarettes would be a "hot item" after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced yesterday an increase in tobacco taxes by 25 per cent from midnight.
Russell Zimmerman, the association's executive director, said growth in black market cigarette sales would also be of concern.
"The black market is the next big problem because the black market will sell cigarettes to underaged people," he said.
"They don't care who they sell them to."
Mr Zimmerman said retailers both small and large recorded a sharp increase in cigarette sales yesterday, with some having to put a limit on the number of cartons they sold per customer.
The timing of the announcement also meant retailers didn't have time to increase their stocks to cope with the sudden demand, he said.
"The announcement was made at 10am yesterday morning, and retailers would not have had a chance to stock up.
"Normally, when these price rises happen in the cigarette industry, they usually get 30 days' notice."
A Woolworths spokesman said that, while it it was too early to get sales figures, its supermarket stores did report some customers buying more cigarette packs.

Pampers has taken an innovative approach to its nappy range with the launch of a new ‘Smart Diaper’.
Lumi by Pampers, can track a baby’s urine and sleeping pattern,
with an accompanying app to alert parents when the nappy is either dry, wet or very wet. It has an activity sensor that can detect a “landing” on the front of the nappy.
Huggies in Korea has a similar feature which alerts parents of their baby’s bowel movements.
“Everywhere we look, technology is simplifying and connecting our lives – but what about for parents? Whether it is anticipating changes as babies grow and develop, helping to establish a routine or simply trying to better understand their baby’s everyday development, there are so many things we can do to help parents!” said Pampers in a statement.
“We connected with the most credible companies to bring the vision to life: Verily, a leader in platforms, sensors and software for health data with reputable scientists and engineers, and Logitech, a leader in consumer electronics with expertise in security camera technology.”
The Lumi by Pampers line will launch in the US this autumn. A baby monitor and a 10-day supply of diapers is included with each purchase. The innovative sensor has a corresponding app wherein parents can log the urine and know patterns, according to CNN.
Pampers said it wanted to help parents know if their baby is comfortable and safe.
“Parents didn’t ask for a poo or pee alarm; they wanted something more like the smart watches of today. The activity sensor tracks baby’s sleep and since it’s there on the diaper, it can also track … if a diaper is wet,” a Pampers spokesperson told CNN.
A Pampers spokesperson said that it the registered user on the app will have information such as “a baby’s name, sex, date of birth and a 24-hour archive of video from the monitor, plus a profile photo if the parents choose to use one”.
The Procter and Gamble owned brand is also ensuring data security. The only one who can access its account are Lumi by Pampers account holders.

Pro‐Tech launches new Savik brand
click image to zoom Pro-Tech Manufacturing and Distribution, Inc. has completed a branding initiative resulting in two distinct brands being offered under the Pro-Tech umbrella: Sno Pusher and Savik. These separate brands will allow Pro-Tech to maximize its commitment to innovation and the advancement of the snow and ice industry.
The Sno Pusher product line encompasses the yellow containment plows Pro-Tech has been manufacturing since 1993 – the first company to introduce these types of plows commercially.
The introduction of the Pro-Tech Sno Pusher helped to revolutionize the snow and ice industry by drastically increasing the productivity of snow and ice professionals who typically were limited to truck plows as their main resource for clearing large, commercial lots. The Sno Pusher brand is committed to offering high quality, durable products that are competitively priced and available.
The Savik product is a new, elite‐level containment and multi‐use plow. The Savik brand is a direct result of our product development philosophy which includes partnerships with industry experts, our ongoing quest to be a knowledge-driven organization, and our desire to advance the industry. Savik products feature industry‐first sensor technology, component optimization, and customization that provide snow and ice professionals the ultimate in flexibility, efficiency, productivity and results. The first model to be released under the Savik brand will be the ERG.
“These brands represent Pro-Tech’s purpose,” said Craig Geller, president of Pro-Tech, “which is to deliver meaningful contributions to the snow and ice industry by way of innovation being a knowledge‐driven organization. We hope and expect the industry to advance with our ongoing product and service offerings.”

It was a night of tailored suits, briefs paired with clear rain coats, harnesses mixed with lace and plexiglass shawls. The 10 designers who presented at Thursday night’s dapperQ fashion show highlighting “queer style” represented an ethos of inclusion: Come as you are, in whatever style suits you best.
For the fourth year in a row, the show boasted that it was the biggest LGBTQ-centric fashion show of the season, with more than a thousand in attendance at the Brooklyn Museum for the decidedly political evening. The show’s theme was “R/Evoltuion,” a play on “the constant evolution of queer style as its own aesthetic, its revolutionary roots and its power to be leveraged as a tool for resistance,” Anita Dolce Vita, the owner of dapperQ and executive producer of the show, told NBC News.
Over the past eight months in office, the Trump administration has instituted policies that put it at odds with advocates of LGBTQ rights. In February, the administration rescinded an Obama-era policy from the Departments of Justice and Education that jointly advised schools to allow transgender students to use the restrooms that matched their gender identity. In July, President Trump tweeted that transgender services members would not be permitted "to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military." Then, last week, the administration said it would side with a Colorado baker who refused to serve a same-sex couple.
“‘R/Evolution’ is an act of defiance. It is our space to stay visible in the face of attempts at erasure,” Dolce Vita explained. “It is in honor of all efforts of resisting, to the activists being arrested in protest to the individuals whose impactful act of resisting is smashing the binary by getting up, getting dressed, and just existing.”
By the time the show began, it was standing-room only. Gabby Rivera, the writer behind Marvel’s lesbian Latina comic series, “America,” and the novel “Juliet Takes a Breath” warmed up the crowd by opening up about her relationship with fashion.
“It has been riddled with shame and awkwardness … That ache about my presentation bubbled in my heart,” Rivera said. “Now we wear our ‘chose’ clothes.”
The show featured 10 different designers: Audio Helkuik, Nicole Wilson, Bindle & Keep, Clio Sage, Kris Harring, Sir New York, SDN Brooklyn, Stuzo, The Tailory New York and TomboyX + Clear Coated. Among the models were activists, artists and influencers who ran the gamut of sexual orientations and gender identities, as well as race, body size and ability.
The theme of the night was evident throughout the collections. Kris Harring’s collection featured an array of gender-neutral evening wear, inspired by “the deconstruction and reimagination of the classic tuxedo.” The line’s debut was characterized by clean lines, modernized suit jackets and pants with transparent fabrics.
“I believe a lot of people, no matter their gender presentation or sexual identity, would identify with clothing that was unattached to a gender. People want to be able to dress in accordance to how they feel and choose items simply based on what they like,” Harring said. “Gender neutral is the future, and I’m excited to be a part of the conversation.”
The designers behind Stuzo also eschew gender throughout their garments, which featured floral sets, velvets and imported quilts.
“It's very important for us that the beautiful pieces we create also fits your body regardless of gender or sexuality,” Stoney and Uzo, the designers behind the line, wrote in an email. “Whatever form you choose to exist in, we celebrate you! ‘Live your truth.’”
With more feminine designs, Auston Bjorkman, the designer behind Sir New York and no stranger to fashion week, debuted a new line called SALT with Jessie Levandov of Debris.
Inspired by the healing “alchemy” of the mineral, the line is “decidedly more paired down, more organic and more refined in the color palette, silhouettes and drape of the clothing with a slightly more feminine-of-center vibe,” Bjorkman explained.
“Fashion is and always has been deeply political. Representation is deeply political. Who gets to be visible? Whose stories get to be told? Who is represented and who has agency in that representation?” Bjorkman added. “These are all critical questions we need to be asking ourselves and holding the industry accountable to.”
The sense of urgency around the political moment extended to the models — a mix of those who’ve walked many a runway along with queer activists and influencers in the community. For Juliet Evancho, who recently sued her school district for the right to use the restroom that aligns with her gender identity, it was a meeting of her interests in modeling and activism. Evancho walked for Clio Sage wearing a plexiglass shawl.
“It’s a different way to advocate for rights ...The way I look at it is this: It’s an honor to do this,” Evancho said. “Of course, New York Fashion Week is a huge thing and not a lot of time do you hear about the [queer] undertones — a lot of designers and a lot of models are part of the LGBTQ community, and it’s not something that gets a lot of talk about. We are everywhere and in every industry, and we deserve to be heard.”
Ericka Hart opened the show, modeling for designers The Tailory New York and underwear line TomboyX + Clear Coated, and is no stranger to the media, either. Hart, a sexuality educator, was famously pictured topless at last year’s AfroPunk Festival, showing her scars from a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. While she’s modeled at breast cancer awareness events before, she wanted to participate in “R/Evolution” to bring awareness to a different audience.
“It’s also important for people to see survivors outside of marketing and awareness campaigns,” Hart said. “Folks could see my scars, so they could also see all of the intersections where I sit as a black queer femme. See us beyond our disability or chronic illness. I want people to see and celebrate my blackness and queerness and as it informs what I see for myself.”
Throughout the show, the audience cheered and clapped as the models walked down the runway. In keeping with the theme of resistance, for the finale, the models walked to a remix of Beyonce’s hit song “Formation.” Dolce Vita closed out the night by walking to the end of the runway, putting her fist in the air and then dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright.”
“To have an event that celebrates us and showcases our beauty and affirms that who we are, as we are, is enough, could quite possibly save someone’s life,” Harring said. “It’s much, much bigger than the clothes.”

Hamburg’s first mayor Olaf Scholz and the head of the Senate Chancellery, Secretary of State Dr. Christoph Krupp, are now driving electric cars. Together, they took delivery of an BMW i3 as the new official car of the Senate Chancellery. Krupp will now use the car now for business trips within the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. The First Mayor will driven to appointments in the e-car.
Changing urban mobility
“The transition of Hamburg into an e-mobility capital progresses”, Scholz said. He continued: “The reduction of noise and air pollution on the road significantly improves the quality of life in the city.” Erik Santer, managing director of the BMW branch in Hamburg, was pleased that Hamburg’s First Mayor now also runs a BMW i3, and thus an electric car that has been designed from scratch to change the urban mobility. “
Master Plan for climate change: electric vehicles have priority
Hamburg wants to expand its pioneering role in electric mobility. In the current master plan on climate change, the Senate asks its authorities to primarily use electric vehicles. In addition, the city wants to buy less conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines. By the end of 2014, 70 of the 240 cars in the civic fleet are to be electric vehicles.
The city also plans to quadruple the range of charging stations for electric vehicles from currently 138 charging points to a total of 592 by 2016. Hamburg and the German government allocated some 4.7 million euro to achieve this goal.

As social media solidifies its role as the beating heart of the consumer internet, the companies that play the parts of arteries and veins in the system continue to gain ground, too. Today, Brandwatch— a social media monitoring firm that crawls over 80 million sites, including the biggies like Facebook and Twitter, and then parses that information to provide consumer insights to businesses — is announcing that it has raised $22 million in new funding. The Series B round was led by new investor Highland Capital, with participation also from Nauta Capital and other existing investors. It brings the total raised by Brandwatch to date to just under $30 million.
Founded in 2007 in Brighton, UK, with operations in New York and San Francisco, Brandwatch will use the capital to hire more people, expand its product offerings in current markets like Europe and the U.S. and take on new regions such as Asia. “We’re doubling down on engineering,” says co-founder and CEO Giles Palmer.
He tells me that Brandwatch is coming off a strong year, with 100% growth and some 1,000 major brands using its services — with companies like Whole Foods, Verizon, Whirlpool, Pepsico, British Airways, Papa John’s, and Dell among them. The company, he says, is “kind-of breakeven” at the moment, although that may change as the startup gears up for more growth.
There are what seem like dozens of companies in the market right now that have sprouted up in the wake of the social media data deluge: billions of us are connecting to each other on public forums and discussing things, and analytics companies effectively provide ways of trying to harness and better understand what’s being said. The companies range from those who are gathering information — the DataSifts and Gnips of the world — through to larger organizations that are linking analytics through to marketing — think here of Salesforce and Radian6.
Brandwatch sits in the middle of this area, and Palmer says its growth has been on the back of what he describes as a “really deep product” — albeit one with a user-friendly approach.
“We have index the entire social web in real time and store that data in a way for companies to be able to interrogate it easily,” he says. “It is a difficult challenge we’ve built it, brick by brick.”
Going forward, the idea will be to expand that even further. The last round of funding, a $6 million venture round in 2012, was poured into building out more in the U.S. and creating a visualisation product.
“We’ve solved that problem, and now we’re looking at what else we can do,” he says. What might that might mean? Palmer would not say, but one area where Brandwatch has seen a lot of customer demand is in bringing in more internal corporate data into its system. And another could be widening its scope out to also target smaller businesses beyond the large corporates that Brandwatch already works with.
This will bring the company potentially into closer competition with those it has traditionally worked alongside, such as HootSuite. “I see a broadening of product sets across the place,” Palmer says. Indeed even HootSuite has made its own move into analytics with the recent acquisition of UberVu.
The question that always lingers for companies that rely on data from third parties to operate is if they ever worry about those data providers becoming their rivals. Indeed, Twitter’s acquisition of Gnip does make you wonder how and if Twitter itself may try to push its own analytics products at some point.
For now, Brandwatch is part of Twitter’s certified partner program, and this prospect does not seem to concern Palmer. “To do the kind of work we do [with large enterprises] requires a product that is optimised for that size,” he says. “It’s more complicated than anything Twitter would want to put out there.”

Blackberry maker RIM 'open to selling' as revenues slump by 25 per cent
Stephen Foley is a former Associate Business Editor of The Independent, based in New York. He left in August 2012. In a decade at the paper, he covered personal finance, the UK stock market and the pharmaceuticals industry, and had also been the Business section's share tipster. Between arriving with three suitcases in Manhattan in January 2006 and his departure, he witnessed and reported on a great economic boom turning spectacularly to bust. In March 2009, he was named Business and Finance Journalist of the Year at the British Press Awards.
Friday 30 March 2012
The new chief executive of Research in Motion, the maker of Blackberry smartphones, signalled that he would be open to selling the company after it posted another catastrophic set of sales figures and plunged into the red.
Revenues over the past three months, including the Christmas period when rival Apple sold millions of iPhones and iPads, were down 25 per cent, RIM said last night.
The company – a pioneer in smartphones, particularly for business executives – announced a boardroom clear-out and a top-to-bottom review of its strategy, in an attempt to revive its fortunes.
Consumers have switched to trendier phones from Apple and other handset makers and companies that used to provide Blackberries for employees are increasingly letting them use their own phones.
Thorsten Heins, who replaced RIM's long-time joint chief executives Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis in January, admitted that the company's problems went deep. "The impression I had on Day 2 of being chief executive was pretty different from the facts I know after being ten weeks as chief executive," he said.
The company "needs to learn to partner" instead of assuming it can make handsets, develop operating software and run its secure data network all by itself, he said. The strategy review would examine cost-cutting measures, partnerships and licensing deals, and even a sale of the company if a potential buyer came forward, he said.
Mr Balsillie was one of several senior departures announced last night. He will leave his role as a director. RIM's chief technology officer and its global chief operating officer are also leaving.
The promise of a strategic review took the edge off the disappointing results for investors, and while the shares initially plunged more than 10 per cent in after-hours trading in New York, they eventually settled down 2.4 per cent. They remain close to their lowest levels since 2004.
Revenues for the three months to3 March were $4.2bn (£2.6bn), down from $5.6bn in the same period last year, and the net loss was $125m, compared with $934m previously.
