The Coca-Cola Company has made the decision to discontinue its juice and smoothie brand Odwalla and dissolve its chilled delivery network at the end of July. The announcement has been made in light of a “rapidly shifting marketplace and despite every effort to support continued production and delivery services,” said Coca-Cola in an emailed statement to FoodBev. Founded in California in 1980, Odwalla currently offers over 20 different products including zero-sugar smoothies, and Smoobucha, a smoothie and pasteurised kombucha blend. In 2001, Odwalla was acquired by Coca-Cola for $181 million and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the beverage giant. In addition to its Odwalla brand, Coca-Cola is discontinuing its chilled direct store delivery (DSD) distribution network that delivers fresh drinks to stores. According to a Coca-Cola spokesperson, the “decision was not made lightly and comes at a time when it is more important than ever to evaluate where we can improve efficiencies in our business and operations”. In a conference call discussing Coca-Cola’s Q1 results, CEO James Quincey said: “For our retail customers, grocery stores, for example, we’re focused on maximising system efficiency by ruthlessly prioritising to deliver on core SKUs and key brands, and help customers simplify their supply chains.”

WASHINGTON – Orders for long-lasting U.S. durable goods (search) slipped unexpectedly in August as demand for civilian aircraft plunged, but the data beat expectations once transportation was stripped out, government data showed on Friday.
The Commerce Department (search) said orders for big-ticket items meant to last at least three years fell 0.5 percent after gaining an upwardly revised 1.8 percent in July. July's gain was initially reported as a 1.7 percent rise
Wall Street had forecast orders would stay flat overall and rise 1.0 percent excluding the highly volatile transportation component.
Commerce said orders excluding transportation rose a solid 2.3 percent after July's 0.1 percent gain, which was revised from unchanged.
Orders for computers and electronic products rose 4.1 percent after slumping 4.3 percent in July, while orders for civilian aircraft fell 42.8 percent after soaring 103.6 percent the previous month.
Taken as a whole, the data may bolster confidence that the United States will see stronger economic growth in the third quarter after a period of slower growth in the prior three months, although the report showed businesses remain cautious.
Non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft — which economists use as a gauge of business spending — fell 0.5 percent.
When aircraft orders are included, capital goods orders outside the defense sector fell 7.4 percent after gaining 9.3 percent the previous month. It was the biggest drop since September 2002's 12.3 percent decline.
The U.S. manufacturing sector has regained steam after being hit hard by the 2001 recession at the cost of several million factory jobs — making the economy a key issue in the country's upcoming November presidential election.
But the employment picture is showing signs of stabilizing and output, driven by a boom in worker productivity, has increased.
Confidence in the expansion this year has given the Federal Reserve (search) scope to end a long stretch of very low interest rates.
The U.S. central bank raised rates three times this year, with the latest increase coming on Tuesday when it upped the fed funds target rate by a quarter percentage point to 1.75 percent.

Smartphones are still in quality compared to DSLRs, but that’s about to change. If so, the photo industry will shrink even more.
Some time ago the world was broadcast by a rather controversial statement from Terushi Shimizu, president of Sony Semiconductor Solutions, who said at a business meeting that he expects smartphone photos match the quality of current DSLRs by 2024. Obviously, this has raised a lot of debate. Whichever way you look at it, the smartphone industry continues to convince us that each new generation of cameras is “revolutionary” and “breakthrough”. It is therefore difficult to look at it other than another marketing slogan aimed at conquering the sale of new phones from Sony, which is currently strongly focused on the photo aspect of its phones. Recall that the Sony Pro-I is even the first smartphone to have borrowed a photosensitive matrix from a full-fledged camera and you can get amazing results with it.
But does this mean that we will soon put aside classic SLRs? Well, on the one hand it seems hard to imagine, and on the other hand the story speaks for it.
Find out how many industries have already been completed by smartphones
Looking at the market, we can clearly see that phones combining the function of many devices over the years are frustrating companies that seemed impossible to move. When smartphones arrived, the hardest hit industry was portable MP3 players. Even the first smartphones with a memory card slot were able to offer more space for music and, by the way, they allowed to install the player application that we liked. Handheld game consoles have also long since fallen out of the market, as Android and iOS offer an incomparably greater number of titles. As soon as phone photos reached decent quality, small portable digital cameras very quickly disappeared from the market. They are done with the usability of smartphones and the fact that 90 percent. robots are there for the user of the software.
And of course – it’s not that these products have “completely” disappeared from the market. Most things broadcast by phones still exist, and finding the right niche was key to survival. MP3 players are still available for sale, but in the premium segment for people willing to spend several thousand zlotys on them. Likewise with consoles, which have certainly influenced in one way or another the way we perceive today, for example Switch or Steam Deck.
And what can we say – this is exactly the scenario that happened in the case of cameras. No one takes a compact on trips anymore (or a small percentage of people do), and everyone relies on taking photos with their smartphone. DSLR cameras were brought into the market because the niche/group of people who value better photo quality rather than the convenience of using a smartphone is large enough to sustain this market.
But here you can also see that the niche is shrinking
If we look at the market of photo brands in recent years, we will see that there are no stories of market conquests, but rather – a struggle to earn a living, not always successful. Among the brands that have found themselves on the border are Kodak (which declared bankruptcy in 2012) or Olympus (the camera division sold to Japan Industrial Partners). Other companies, in turn, are undergoing technological changes, moving from SLRs to mirrorless cameras. At the same time, looking at the sales statistics, I think most cameras with the Leica or Hasselblad logo are already on the market today.
Of course, the fate of the industry hinges on whether smartphones can take photos that are at least similar to full-frame cameras. I think they don’t have to hit exactly that, because history teaches us that we willingly sacrifice quality for comfort. So smartphones just need to be closer in camera quality and niche, as in the case of other industries. will gradually decrease. At the same time, however, it must be remembered that the industry itself is also developing, and no phone in the near future will capture such an image as the Hasselblad H6D-400c for 163,000 PLN, but at the same time – this is not equipment that you will see with your eyes on the street and most people will not see it, ever in your life.
For this reason, I believe that in the popular understanding of the word, smartphones will eventually replace the amateur applications of SLRs and mirrorless cameras, leaving them only for pro applications, pushing this system of devices into a niche yet deeper. And there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s not the first time consumer choices have shaped the future of technology. Of course – it will probably say that smartphones will never have the quality of the camera due to physical limitations, so such a scenario cannot happen. Well, the last few decades have been a demonstration of overcoming physical limitations and finding ways around them. So I don’t see any reason why it should be any different this time around.

Maruti Suzuki has a shockingly large backlog of around 3.25 lakh cars pending orders. This includes 1.29 Lakh CNG models.
Maruti is one of the biggest carmakers in India. It continues to offer many popular car models in the country. Despite a slow down in the auto sector, there is a huge demand for Maruti cars. However, the company seemed to be way behind in fulfilling the orders. As per ACI, currently, it has a backlog of around 3,25,000. 40 percent of these bookings are CNG-powered vehicles (around 1,29,000 units). Let’s take a close look at this interesting situation.

Maruti Suzuki has launched multiple models in the last few months. It also plans to bring an all-new Brezza SUV and an all-new Creta this year. An all-new Alto might also reach the market by late 2022. The company is seeing a surge in demand for CNG cars, thanks to an increase in the growing number of CNG pumps. However, Maruti Suzuki needs to fix the issue of pending orders faster than the coming orders.
Nevertheless, the increase in CNG sales is great news for Maruti. It sold 2,64,000 units in this fiscal year (up from 1,62,000 units). The company offers CNG options on nine of its 15 models. This includes the likes of Alto, S-Presso, Celerio, Eeco, and Dzire. Maruti Suzuki also plans to offer CNG versions of its premium models like the Baleno and CNG. However, it is to be noted that the CNG price has also significantly increased this year. It now retails at Rs 71.61/kg and Rs 76/kg in Delhi and Mumbai, respectively.

“CNG is doing very good numbers for MSIL, and almost 17 percent of our portfolio’s sales are being contributed by CNG variants. In the models, where we have a CNG option, the contribution is about 33 percent,” said Shashank Srivastava, senior ED, Marketing & Sales, MSIL. “Diesel has dropped from contributing 58 percent of the total industry PV volumes about five to six years ago, to 18 percent in FY22. For Maruti Suzuki, CNG is filling that gap rather quickly, despite it being available only in nine Maruti models,” he added.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - IBM IBM.N said on Sunday it will offer an open desktop software system for businesses that puts the cost of managing Apple or Linux computers on a more equal footing with Microsoft's Windows software, improving the economics of Windows alternatives.
The product -- which the company calls its "Open Client Offering" -- pulls together software IBM has developed in-house and with partners Novell Inc. NOVL.O and Red Hat Inc. RHAT.O to answer questions over the cost-effectiveness of managing Linux or Apple desktop PCs alongside Windows PCs.
International Business Machines Corp. said the new software makes it feasible for big businesses to offer their employees a choice of running Windows, Linux or Apple Macintosh software on desktop PCs, using the same underlying software code. This cuts the costs of managing Linux or Apple relative to Windows.
IBM's Open Client software chips away at long-time rival Microsoft's MSFT.O Windows franchise by making it unnecessary for companies to pay Microsoft for licenses for operations that no longer rely on Windows-based software. The move comes as corporate decision-makers have begun to mull when it makes sense to upgrade to Microsoft's Windows Vista.
“We worked with the open source community and found a way to write software once that will work regardless of operating system. It will run on Windows, Macintosh or Linux,” said Scott Handy, IBM’s vice president of Linux and open source.
As an alternative to Microsoft, IBM will offer its own Open Document Format (ODF) software for tasks like word processing, spreadsheets or presentations, along with Lotus collaboration, instant messaging and blog tools, and the Firefox Web browser, which is the biggest rival to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.
IBM believes that using its software can cut the cost of managing applications, maintenance and customer support costs on company networks that need to run not just Windows but other software, Handy said. Technology market researchers Gartner and IDC estimate that it costs $4,000 to $6,000 to manage the average desktop PC of any office worker, he noted.
“In big organizations, a large, double-digit percentage of users don’t require Windows Office suite licenses, meaning they can save a lot of money,” Handy said, pointing to roles like customer call center operators or Web software programmers.
IBM plans to use its “Open Client” software initially to run some 5 percent of desktop computers across its own organization, which employs around 320,000 staff worldwide.
Customer call centers and software development groups in Brazil, India, Europe and other IBM offices will take part. Pockets of Apple Inc. AAPL.O computer users within IBM also will be supported for the first time by Open Client.
“Now it is a level playing-field where Linux is a very viable option and can get the same kind of maintenance and support as Windows,” Handy said.
Europe's second-largest automaker, PSA Peugeot Citroen PEUP.PA, last month said it had agreed to a multiyear deal with Linux software provider Novell to run Linux on 20,000 desktop PCs plus 2,500 server computers. Underpinning this deal is IBM's Open Client Offering software, Handy said.
A piece of IBM software called Expeditor enables an organization to manage different systems as if they were on a unified underlying system, IBM said. Apple software support will be ready later this year.
One Linux analyst said that the use of Linux to run desktop computers as an alternative to Microsoft Windows has occurred at a “glacial pace,” in spite of frequent predictions by pundits in recent years such a transition is inevitable.
“There is a growing appetite not so much to displace Windows wholesale as to offer alternatives,” said Stephen O’Grady, an analyst with research firm RedMonk. “No one is going to dramatically unseat Microsoft’s desktop dominance.”

The convenience store business plus fuel created $4 billion in total sales
The Kroger Co. has declared that its convenience store business generated revenue of $1.4 billion in 2016 and the figure only reflects inside sales. Kroger's convenience store business, including fuel, generated $4 billion in total sales last year.
As part of its Restock Kroger plan to redefine the food and grocery customer experience in America, Kroger had stated its intention to explore strategic alternatives for its convenience store business, including a potential sale. This is in light of a review of assets that could be possibly of more value outside the company than as part of Kroger.
Mr. Schlotman said, "Our convenience stores are strong, successful and growing with the potential to grow even more. We want to look at all options to ensure this part of the business is meeting its full potential. Considering the current premium multiples for convenience stores, we feel it is our obligation as a management team to undertake this review." PWKD13102017

Qld Health continues listeria food probe
Queensland Health is still investigating potential cases of food poisoning that may be linked to chicken processed at a New South Wales-based company.
NSW food authorities say a listeria food outbreak that affected several passengers on Virgin Blue flights has been traced to GMI Food Wholesalers at Wollongong.
The company has been banned from producing or selling the chicken product until further notice.
It can take up to 70 days for someone to fall sick after eating the contaminated food.
Queensland Health says most of the implicated product was supplied to Virgin Blue and nine cases of listeriosis have now been linked to chicken wraps served by the airline.

Reproduced from the Commerce Commission’s media release ” Consumers of broadband and mobile services get better value for money ” dated 18 May 2017
New Zealand consumers are receiving increased value for money across a range of telecommunications services, the Commerce Commission’s latest annual telecommunications monitoring report has found.
Telecommunications Commissioner Dr Stephen Gale said the industry continues to change rapidly, with the continued strong growth in data consumption highlighting the importance consumers place on participating in the digital world.
“Around 74% of households now have a fixed-line broadband connection and there are 5.8 million mobile devices. Nearly all phones sold now are smartphones with internet connectivity,” Dr Gale said.
“The cost of internet use has dropped over the last year with up to four times the data included at the same price points. 100GB in a fixed-line voice and broadband plan can now be bought for $65, $10 less than a year before. At the high end, a 100Mbps fibre voice and broadband plan with unlimited data costs $90 per month, 19% less than the equivalent in Australia.
“Average broadband speeds have also been increasing thanks to a significant boost in fibre uptake, with fibre connections growing from 197,000 to 368,000 in just one year. Those moving to fibre generally get all the speed they need, while congestion is also reducing on the copper network.”
Mobile services are also very accessible in New Zealand. An entry level mobile plan with 50 minutes of calling and 100MB of data – enough for messaging and on-line banking etc – is priced at $13 per month.
“Broadband and mobile service prices in New Zealand compare favourably internationally and it is pleasing to see our telco firms being responsive to the public’s consumption habits in terms of the pricing plans they have in the market. However, telecommunications consumers report a high level of problems and we believe there is plenty of room for improvement in customer service,” Dr Gale said.
Other highlights in the report include:
- As at March 2017 the ultra-fast broadband fibre network is now passing 1.1 million homes and businesses, with 368,000 connected
- The average monthly household broadband data consumption increased from 48GB to 69GB, and is growing at 46% per year
- Mobile calling—now averaging 146 minutes per person per month—has overtaken fixed line calling
- Industry investment reduced to $1.59 billion from a record high of $1.77 billion in 2015
- Mobile revenue increased to $2.68 billion in 2016, surpassing that of fixed line at $2.53 billion
- Total telecommunications retail revenue increased for the first time in four years to $5.22 billion in 2016, up from $5.11 billion in 2015 and $5.17 billion the previous year.

The grocery industry had a bright spotlight at the National Retail Federation’s annual show in New York this year.
From keynotes with the CEOs of Kroger and Whole Foods Market to featured sessions with the head of Sprouts Farmers Market, Albertsons’ senior vice president of retail media and Target’s chief food and beverage officer, the state of the grocery industry — and the key trends expected to influence its future — took up ample stage time.
On the expo floors, numerous vendors from Google to fresh startups showed off technologies, like smart carts, food waste solutions and checkout devices, that grocers can tap into. One notable retailer-enablement company was missing from the booths: Instacart.
Over the course of the three-day conference, the topics of frictionless checkout, retail media and digitizing the store as both an omnichannel play and reinvestment in experiential retail repeatedly came up in sessions and Grocery Dive’s conversations with vendors. The opportunities and challenges of sustainability facing grocers graced several sessions as well.
In case you missed it last week — or you want to refresh your memory — here’s a recap of Grocery Dive’s NRF coverage:

Thieves ram truck into James Avery, steal several display items in less than a minute
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A James Avery Artisan Jewelry store in northeast Harris County will have a lot of cleanup to do after a smash-and-grab robbery.
According to authorities, the store near the East Sam Houston Parkway and West Lake Houston Parkway was broken into around 3:30 a.m. Thursday.
Deputies said a group backed a black Ford F-250 with paper plates into the store.
Three people wearing masks and gloves went into the store and grabbed the display items before fleeing the scene, authorities said.
According to deputies, the thieves were in and out of the store within the minute.
Authorities also believe there may have been a fourth person who acted as the driver.

Last month we wrote that there won’t be any Facebook Android application coming anytime soon. The reason is that the company has put no resources toward developing on the new mobile platform that was pushed out by Google. Well, for those Android users that want to use Facebook but have an Android phone, Next Mobile Web has put out an application called fBook.
The application is essentially a Android wrapper for the iPhone version of the site. It also has the ability to upload pictures and send you alerts every time you receive new messages and status updates. Best of all, the application can run in the background on the phone, which means you can get alerts even while the application isn’t loaded, a feature which is foreign to the iPhone.
While Facebook continues to protest the Android platform, these entrepreneurial developers have taken the liberty of providing Android users with an application that many were waiting for. Additionally, if you were waiting to buy an Android compatible phone until a Facebook application launched, your time has arrived.
Then again, there are still a few bugs on the application. As the developers of the application point out, “Facebook expires your session when you are logged into too many places.” In other words if you are on your desktop, on an instant messenger client, and logged in on your phone, there’s a good chance you’ll be logged out elsewhere.
Nobody that I know of has come up with a resolution for this problem yet and that may be one of the hurdles for developing external Facebook applications that rely on sessions. While these developers try to figure out a workaround, Facebook should work on developing an official Facebook Android application. There’s no excuse to avoid the platform.

A new update is on its way to Fortnite. Epic has announced that it runs 5.30 content update across all platforms – PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Mobile – tomorrow 28th of August, and it appears that it will introduce a new new item to the game generous games. Update: The new update is now available, for example, to introduce another grenade as expected.]
The update is scheduled to go live at 05.00 PT / 8.00 ET / 1 PM BST. Unlike most other updates Epic uses for Fortnite, the developer says that it does not need downtime, so you can continue to play Battle Royale without any disturbances.
In addition to the content update at 5.30, Epic has confirmed that it will constitute a client update to "improve stability." This patch is scheduled to roll out for most platforms in the night of 27 August at 22:00 PT (at ET ET / 6 AM BST 28 August). In a follow-up tweet confirmed Epic Switch update "comes a little later" as the developer will also implement matchmaking enhancements for the console with that patch.
Epic has not formally announced what The new item appears as part of the update update at 5.30, but the news feed in the game shows the Shockwave Grenade as "coming soon" to the game. "Send yourself, allies or enemies who fly like a human cannonball!" The accompanying description reads. The description also suggests that Shockwave grenades will make you immune from injuries.
Besides bothering a new item, confirming the news feed, this is your last chance to participate in Fortnite's latest Limited Time Score, Score Royale. Unlike a typical game of Battle Royale, the goal of Score Royale is not to be the last player or team left but to be the first to reach the designated high score. In each round you raise points by eliminating other players, opening chests and other soldering containers, and collecting coins scattered around the island.
Fortnite's 5.30 patch arrived a bit later than usual last week and rolled out on Thursday, 23 August. Along with the above-mentioned Score Royale mode, it introduced the Rift-to-Go to the game. This new item acts as a portable rift; Activating it will quarrel you – and other players who follow you into the portal – into the air so you can slide back to the island.
More specifically, the 5.30 update was followed by some unusual changes on the map. First, the tomato restaurant was replaced by an old pyramid called tomato temple. Lyn also began to hit the ground during matches. This phenomenon more and more occurred to a large, small bolt hit the desert and left a mysterious cube in the aftermath. It is unclear exactly what the purpose of the cube is, but the players have reported that it has begun to move around the island.

The Walk In Art Center is all decorated and ready for its annual Holiday Artisan Market on Dec. 4. There are more than 40 vendors in the Main Gallery ready to share their holiday gift ideas from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“This place is just so beautiful for this type of market,” says Jacquie Engel, executive director at the Schuylkill Haven center. . “There will be lots of shopping from the vendors, but also from the artists at the Walk In. Best of all, it’s inside where it’s warm.”
The day will have live music provided by the Schuylgurlz, a new all-female a cappella group, boilo samplings and maybe even a visit by the Big Guy himself. Complimentary snacks, coffee, and cocoa will be available all day. The day will end with a ticket auction of items donated by each vendor.
The WIAC will also wrap up its “Festival of Trees” that day. Eight community groups have decorated trees and are asking members of the public to vote for their favorite tree. Each vote is $1, and the money benefits the organization. Some of the groups include the Schuylkill Haven Elementary Center PBIS, Schuylkill County Frontier Girls and Quest Club, the Jefferson Grange #1384, and Schuylkill County VISION. Other trees benefit the programs at the Walk In Art Center.
“The group with the most votes will get a $200 prize,” said Heather Butler, WIAC educational coordinator, “and if their tree gets silent auction bids, they get all of that money as well. The Walk In Arts Center likes to provide opportunities that benefit other non-profit and civic groups in the area.”
The WIAC is going to be announcing their new venture soon, and Holiday Market shoppers will get a preview of the exciting news.
“Our area has suffered a huge loss with the closing of the Arts Barn Gallery,” says Engel. “If people wanted to buy unique, locally-made gifts and art, the Arts Barn was the place to go. With the endorsement of The Arts Barn’s founder, Deb Cooper, the WIAC will be taking a big step into the retail gift world and hopes to attract local artists to consign their items here.”
The Holiday Market will kick off the start of the new Art Shoppe at the Walk In Art Center, and the WIAC expects to see growth of permanent vendors over the next year.

China passed Mexico as the second- largest U.S. trading partner in the first 10 months of this year, demonstrating a surge in commerce between the two countries since China joined the World Trade Organization.
The milestone was revealed in Commerce Department data released today. China was the fourth-largest U.S. trading partner when it joined the WTO in 2001, behind Canada, Mexico and Japan. Canada still has the most trade with the U.S.
“China has opened to trade and investment and come on very strong,” said Ernest Preeg, a senior fellow at the Manufacturers Alliance in Arlington, Virginia, which represents companies such as aircraft maker Textron Inc. and factory-equipment maker Rockwell Automation Inc.[Full Text]

Consumers feel inflation and wage squeeze
Household incomes will come under severe pressure this year as wages fail to keep pace with inflation, the Bank of England is expected to warn this week.
In its quarterly update on the country’s economic prospects, the central bank is likely to lower its forecast for disposable income growth to about zero and to warn that consumers will struggle to support GDP growth.
Economists are predicting that the Bank will leave interest rates on hold at 0.25 per cent and quantitative easing unchanged at £435 billion when it unveils its latest forecasts in the Inflation Report on Thursday.
“The domestic consumer is the source of the weakness versus expectations in our view, with real household disposable income under pressure as inflation has picked up sharply.

One of the world’s largest automation companies has relocated its Canadian headquarters to Waterloo Region. Beckhoff Automation Canada has moved into an 11,000 square-foot office in Cambridge, Ontario, that will help increase warehousing and customer support capabilities.
The new location offers optimal space for customer training, seminars, sales activities and technical support. The facility also has space for an Innovation Lab for application testing and proof-of-concepts using the latest Beckhoff technologies and a larger central warehouse to ensure faster deliveries to customers across Canada’s largest manufacturing corridor.
The decision to move to Waterloo was driven, in part, to the region’s growing reputation for high-tech manufacturing. The company’s press release called the Waterloo area “the centre of Canada’s industrial technology market” and highlighted the fact that Waterloo is home to Canada’s largest robotics and automation cluster. Additional reasons to locate here include the University of Waterloo – home to Canada’s largest engineering school and rated top-40 globally for engineering and technology – and prime positioning along Canada’s largest superhighway.
“The new Cambridge headquarters has increased not only our corporate footprint but also our capabilities to serve Beckhoff customers. We are excited to be located in the technology-rich Waterloo Region, which puts our team closer to key customers and partners in the automation industry,” said Calvin Wallace, Managing Director of Beckhoff Automation Ltd.
The company joins an incredible collection of automation and robotics companies operating in Waterloo, including global scale innovators like ATS Automation and Eclipse Automation, as well as fast-growing robotics companies like Clearpath Robotics and Avidbots.
Beckhoff Automation is a global company with more than 4,300 employees – including 1,750 engineers – and 39 subsidiaries that recorded more than $1.3 billion in sales in 2019. The Canadian subsidiary was established in 2017, reporting directly into the global headquarters in Germany. The company also has offices in Quebec and British Columbia.

Video game historian and preservationist Patrick Scott Patterson recently managed to get his hands on four copies of an unfinished Akira game for the Game Boy.
Akira, if you don’t already know, is one of the most recognizable manga and amine series ever created. A video game based on the IP was released by Taito in 1988 for the Nintendo Famicom console in Japan. Two other titles – a version for the Amiga CD32 in 1994 and a pinball-style game called Akira Psycho Ball for the PlayStation 2 – were eventually released.
Another title reportedly in the works from THQ for the SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, Sega CD and Game Boy was cancelled and never made it to market. That appears to be what Patterson recently got his hands on.
The prototype games in question came as part of an attic find a few months back, Patterson said on YouTube. Each reportedly contains various bits and pieces of the unfinished game with gameplay mostly consisting of platforming and biking.
Patterson found two other games worth noting as part of the haul – Heavy Weight Hockey for the NES and Mall Rats for the Sega Genesis (no relation to the Kevin Smith film by the same name). Gameplay footage from both of these unreleased games can be found over on Patterson’s YouTube channel.
As for Akira, Patterson said he hopes to try and take the best parts of each build and try to come up with a complete game.

Titanfall: Frontline mobile game gets cancelled in beta
Titanfall fans are about to be disappointed yet again. Despite mostly great reviews of the console and PC versions of the game, Titanfall 2 vastly underperformed in terms of sales. Now, Respawn Entertainment has decided to pull the plug on what was to become the first mobile game of the franchise – Titanfall: Frontline. The game was supposed to help the Titanfall IP expand and reach new audiences, but instead put another dent in it. Frontline was in beta and was scheduled to launch early this year, but the video game studio has concluded that the testing has yielded the wrong results and issued a statement on Frontline's website:
We do agree that this is a valid decision on Respawn's behalf, but we can't help but wonder how anyone initially thought that Titanfall: Frontline would provide this "intense, action-packed gameplay". The game is essentially a card battler, much like Blizzard's Hearthstone. This does't necessarily mean that Frontline is bad, but genre-wise it has nothing to do with the original console/PC Triple-A titles, which are famed for being exciting multiplayer first-person shooters.
The beta servers will shut down on January 20, but Respawn indicates that this won't be Titanfall's first and last attempt to become popular on portable devices:

ORLANDO – It was hot outside the Florida hotel where this year’s annual BlackBerry World conference took place. Inside, it apparently wasn’t hot enough for some financial analysts.
They were looking for evidence that Research In Motion is about launch products that will hack into the considerable lead in smart phone sales that iPhone and Android devices have built up, particularly in the United States.
Despite the fact that RIM CEO Thorsten Heins said in March that the next-generation BlackBerry 10 operating system and handset that can run it would only be delivered later this year – a clear sign that little of substance would happen here – financial analysts were disappointed at what they heard.
Yes, there was a peek at what maybe is coming, but it wasn’t BB10 that was running on a prototype handset proudly showed off on Tuesday. It was actually the operating system behind the PlayBook tablet, which admittedly has similar framework, displaying what may or may not be a new user interface. And the prototype handset being passed around to developers won’t see the light of day in production. In fact, it’s called an Alpha.
Not only that, RIM [TSX: RIM] still has yet to name a new chief marketing officer. There was a marketing theme conjured up, around BlackBerry helping uses be successful in their jobs and personal life.
But what will the new CMO do with that?
Of course, financial analyst have to deal with hard numbers – declining sales, dropping revenue, plunging share prices. (Or, in the case of Apple, soaring sales, soaring revenue, soaring share prices.)
Meanwhile, late next month or in July RIM will release another quarterly financial statement that even Heins admits won’t be hot.
Industry analysts, on the other hand, can afford to be cooler. That’s not to say they’re right more than the financial analysts, but some have a different perspective.
Carl Howe, vice-president of mobile applications research at Yankee Group is one of them.
In an interview he dismisses financial analyst as people who don’t understand that RIM isn’t dying. It is, he acknowledges, a company in transition, but other IT companies have been in that boat, too. He cites Microsoft and Apple.
“Every time it’s ugly,” he added. But some survive.
And it’s hard to die when RIM keeps pulling in revenue (although in the last quarter it dipped into the red), he said.
No new finished product here? Why give away secrets? Howe asked. “They know they have one opportunity to make a splash,” he said.
Besides, he adds, the QNX-based operating system behind BB10 is used widely in other industries, giving RIM the opportunity to use it as a multi-device platform. Heins showed off a Porche tricked out with a PlayBook –powered interface to make the point. This is an area Apple won’t got, Howe argues, and could give RIM a field of “uncontested growth.”
Then there’s Heins. After a one-hour meeting Howe was impressed with his “down to earth approach.”
“This is a guy who can get it done,” Howe concluded.
Similarly, Boston based industry analyst Jack Gold was impressed with the BB10 demos, particularly the virtual keyboard that can learn a user’s preferences.
He would have liked to get more details on the upcoming smart phone and the launch date.
“My overall impression from listening to these guys is they’ve got a chance to come back,” he said. ”They’re not going to be where they were. They’re not going to capture 50-60 per cent of the market. But the obituaries have been written too soon. They’re not dead yet.”
“At the end of the day,” he added, “it’s all going to about execution. If they can’t technology and convert it into something people want to buy, then it doesn’t matter what they’ve got.”
Howe described himself as “cautiously bullish” about RIM’s future. “It’s their game to lose,” he said.
Trying to discern RIM’s future from all this has a few more variables. It’s no use asking carriers or enterprises how impressed they are with equipment on the market. And then there’s application developers, who RIM needs badly. They have to port their apps to BB10 in sufficient numbers to impress handset buyers. Will they take the time, or continue to put priority on the bigger market held by iPhone and Android?
The wild card, of course, is RIM’s shareholders, who may not be patient. After watching their stock drop, will they sell to someone who offers a slight premium and then, perhaps, breaks up the company?
In short, can they take the heat?

Berlin (dpa) – The consumer advice centers are calling for a comprehensive reform of private pension provision after the federal election.
The head of the Federal Association (vzbv), Klaus Müller, told the German News Agency: “Whatever the next government constellation looks like, there is a chance for a fresh start.” What is needed is a new offering that, for the first time, from a consumer point of view, is high efficiency, low cost and significantly better than Riester’s current offering.
Müller spoke of a tragedy: “The insurance sector sells products that are only reasonably lucrative because of the Riester subsidy, but otherwise far too unprofitable.” More and more customers decided not to store contracts anymore.
Efficient and cheap
Private services must be efficient and as cheap as possible. “Every tenth of a percentage point of the costs is a yield killer in 30 or 40 years and only leads to disappointment afterwards,” said the vzbv boss. A move to stock-based models makes sense, this is what studies by Stiftung Warentest, research institutes and experience abroad have shown: “If I have 25, 30, almost 40 years, it comes down to it being the most profitable and also the safest product is currently available. »
The consumer advice centers have long been promoting a government-organized standard product and have presented a concept for an ‘extra pension’. Employees should therefore automatically pay into the pension through their employer – unless they object to this. A government agency then has to instruct fund managers through tenders to invest the money in the capital market. It should be possible to waive sales charges and commissions.
Müller said there should be trust protection for current Riester contracts. The state must adhere to the financing obligations in the coming decades. But a change guarantee is also necessary. “Someone who has saved with Riester before should be given the opportunity to switch to this standard product.”
Pension remains basic security
The consumer advocate called it “a giant step forward” that the CDU/CSU, FDP, Greens and SPD campaigned for a new and better provision for consumers in the election manifestos. “There are differences in the details, but similar ideas in purpose.” At the same time, Müller emphasized, especially with regard to people on a tight budget: “You shouldn’t be naive. The statutory pension is the basic security for everyone.” It must remain the strong pillar of old-age provision and be strengthened, especially for consumers in the low-wage sector.

The one thing I love about the Internet is how it changes almost on a daily basis. The once darling of the Internet, MySpace, appears to be in worse shape than first thought. Though new executives have been brought in to whip things into shape, MySpace could be facing the same problems that have plagued the other once darling of the Internet, Yahoo!
What makes the Internet so different is that there is no brand loyalty by users. When a better or new social networking site appears such as Twitter, we flock on over to the new kid on the block – which leaves the old social networking site stripped of their previous users. In the case of MySpace it is being hit with more than just a mass exodus.
According to an article over at the Silicon Valley Insider, it states the following:
Myth 1: MySpace usage may not be growing, but it’s not shrinking either.
During former CEO Chris DeWolfe’s tenure, MySpace made a lot of noise in public about its 120 milllion or so unique visitors, but the new team on the scene has discovered that “the true [user] engagement numbers are horrendous.”
Myth 2: With its year-old portal advertising strategy, MySpace doesn’t need Google to make money
Google hates the $900 million, 3-year MySpace ad deal it did back in 2006. When it renews the deal, Google will probably only guarantee around $50 million per year. This will cut MySpace’s annual ad revenues in half, from $600 million to $300 million.
Layoffs. New Corp is a cutthroat company. Jon and Owen know they can’t let MySpace lose $100 million to $150 million during their first year and keep their jobs much longer. The easiest and probably smartest way for them to keep that from happening will be to cut MySpace’s 1,500-strong headcount in half.
But will MySpace be able to reinvent itself and get people back? That is a question that some seem to feel may turn out to be ‘no’. If one looks at Yahoo! as an example, that company has not been able to reinvent itself and garner Google fans who have not returned.
What do you think? Can MySpace make a comeback?

Hello and welcome to the Gamers Source, your destination for gaming information. A mysterious trademark could be hinting at a WB Games streaming service. So, without further ado, the news:
- Another Publisher Streaming Service? - A recent trademark may hint at WB Games creating it's own streaming service similar to EA Access. 'WB Play' has been trademarked for "audio and video broadcasting services" and "entertainment services".
This is what most people were afraid of when EA Access was announced. It's exciting to get these services, especially if you are an avid consumer of that particular publisher, but the fear is that as the amount of services increase and the amount of people who sign up for these services increase that these publishers will start releasing these games for their services only, requiring players to pay for every service to get every game. Only time will tell, but this is not a trend I am personally excited to see pop up.
- Resident Evil Revelations 2 game information has been revealed, including story and gameplay details.
- A new Peggle game is already in development.
- The Destiny servers are now live.
- The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing will be making it's way to Xbox One.
- Shiny Gengar will be available for players to download from GameStop next month.
- Batman: Arkham Knight gets a new release date for June 2nd of next year.
- A new PS3 bundle will launch this holiday and includes Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and the Sly Cooper Collection.
- The US Military is using Xbox 360 controllers to control prototype lasers due to familiarity with the troops.
- Ubisoft has confirmed the Assassin's Creed: American Saga collection for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has announced emergency measures to manage the spread of coronavirus. Many of the measures are designed to help businesses in Denmark and specifically affect tax payments and payroll administration.
While the measures are not yet in legal effect, employers in Denmark should ensure they understand their responsibilities and how their businesses will be affected when legislation is passed.
Extension of withholding tax deadlines:
Danish withholding tax is normally due at the end of the month, or on the 10th of the following month depending on a business’ size. Under the incoming emergency measures, the withholding tax deadline will be extended by 4 months:
VAT payment extension:
Large companies, that make monthly VAT payments, will have an extension of 30 days for the payment periods of March, April and May.
Corporation tax payments:
A preliminary corporation tax payment for Danish businesses is due on 20 March. The payment rate will be based on projected 2020 profits. Given the significant disruption that coronavirus will bring to the business landscape, those projections may no longer be accurate.
Accordingly, the government has announced that it will be possible for Danish businesses to adjust their projections and rates to manage the impact of the virus.
Further business measures
Beyond those specifically affecting payroll, further measures for businesses have been and will be introduced. On 11 March, Denmark experienced a significant jump in confirmed coronavirus cases which, according to the Danish Patient Safety Authority, reached 442 with 1,303 people in quarantine.
In response, the Prime Minister announced that all public sector employees in Denmark not performing critical functions would be sent home from Friday 13 March. Similarly, private sector employees were advised to work from home as much as possible. All kindergartens, schools, and universities in Denmark have been closed for two weeks, and all indoor events with more than 100 participants have been banned.
To help Denmark’s businesses manage the consequences of the coronavirus outbreak, the government has already agreed an aid package of tax breaks worth around $20 billion.
Frederiksen has acknowledged that the coronavirus measures are dramatic, but emphasised the importance of following government advice during the crisis to help mitigate the virus’ impact: “This will have huge consequences, but the alternative would be far worse. Under normal circumstances, a government would not present such far-reaching measures… but we are in an extraordinary situation.”

The World Congress of Apple and Pear Producers was held recently in the Serbian capital Belgrade, attracting more than 200 producers from 23 countries, Serbian state radio and television reported Aug. 5. The congress warned that the consumption of apples is becoming less and less.
Serbia is the third non-EU country to host the event. The EU produces about 12 million tons of apples and 2 million tons of pears annually, and production is expected to increase further, while other countries, such as China and the United States, will see a slight decrease in production. The bigger problem is that consumer consumption of apples is declining and producers need to work hard to cater to consumers in different regions with new products and flavors.
With an annual production of 550,000 tons of apples and pears, Serbia is an important player in the world market, said Mahmutovic, state secretary of the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture. More than 190,000 tons of apples and pears are exported annually, realizing more than $135 million in foreign exchange earnings. USAID Director in Serbia Robertson said Serbia’s agriculture, especially fruit farming, has grown rapidly over the past decade due to investments in modern orchards and improved logistics.
In the next few days, Serbia’s major apple cultivars will be harvested. Thanks to relevant agrotechnical measures, frost and drought did not have serious consequences and producers are expecting a good harvest. In terms of exports, the Russian market remains important, but in recent years Serbian apples have also been exported to the United Kingdom, the Middle East and the Far East. Benefiting from interstate agreements, Serbian apples can already be exported to Egypt and Indonesia, and soon other markets will be opened.

Mobile gaming has grown far beyond what anyone ever imagined. By the end of 2014, it eclipsed the $25 billion revenue mark within a 12-month period, and is projected to surpass $40 billion by the end of 2017. Needless to say, it has quickly overtaken the global prominence of console gaming, becoming the primary way that consumers around the world enjoy video game entertainment.
For as popular of a medium as mobile gaming is, it has been held back by input limitations. Restricted to the singular input of touchscreens and only a few inches of real estate to work with, player input has always been less-than-stellar. For record-high revenue games like Angry Birds and Candy Crush Saga, simple binary touch input hasn't stunted their success, but in the case of more complex games, such as those belonging to the RPG (Final Fantasy) and action (Hitman) genres, it has been a deal-killer for many consumers that has directly affected not only the enjoyment of the titles, but their profitability.
Today, Apple announced 3D Touch as one of the major selling points of its upcoming iPhone 6s. This technology has already been employed successfully on the Apple Watch, providing the user with two methods of input on a small screen. The iPhone 6s will go one step further by providing a three level interface. The screen will recognize not only taps, but presses, and long presses.
For applications, this technology that Apple is betting big money on will be useful in specific scenarios. For gaming, it will be significant across the board.
Imagine a scenario where you're equipped with a sword and shield, such as in the popular title Infinity Blade 3. On any modern phone the game can be programmed to have you tap or swipe to tell the game how you want to attack the enemy with your weapon. With Force Touch, you will have those options, in addition to being able to press for a medium attack, or deep press for a powerful blow to the foe.
There are many uses for 3D Touch, including puzzle games like The Room 2. With more input methods come more options for game design.
Although Apple's iPhone has dropped to a smaller market share than Google's Android in the past couple years, it is still considered the premier ecosystem for gaming around the world. It gets bigger game exclusives, more polished releases, and as such is a leader in its space. Introducing two new simple methods of input without abandoning the touchscreen centric gameplay is a significant evolution.
The hardware is there, but it will need to be supported by software. It's likely that Apple has spent a lot of time and money on getting mobile developers on-board for 3D Touch, but it's up to the developers to decide how to utilize it. One problem posed will be its iPhone 6s exclusivity for the next year or more, meaning that a developer won't be able to market to older devices or other operations systems. New room for innovation will be made less attractive to a smaller install base.
Nonetheless, 3D Touch is an exciting technology for mobile gaming that could have a huge affect on the industry, becoming a solution to a near decade old problem.

(March 14, 2019) Stop & Shop employees on Nantucket voted unanimously Sunday to join their fellow workers across New England in authorizing a strike, if their labor concerns are not met during upcoming contract negotiations with corporate leaders.
The new labor contract being proposed by the supermarket chain includes pay cuts, an increase in health-insurance premiums and reduced pensions, according to United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) labor-union leadership.
“The vote (on Nantucket) was unanimous. They’re united in their position,” UFCW Local 328 president Tim Melia said.
If the call is made, all workers would be striking, except for management, he said. A strike could have a major impact on Nantucket, since Stop & Shop, with its two locations, is the only supermarket on the island.

NeverDead hasn't received too much buzz--and for good reason. It's not very good. The too-clever-for-its-own-good shooter from Metal Gear Acid producer Shinta Nojiri has a zany premise. But, sloppy execution made assuming the role of an immortal demon hunter more cumbersome than fun.
Hopefully, developer Rebellion Software has had enough time to polish the game up, as Konami has announced a release date: January 31st.
Although NeverDead doesn't feature a multiplayer mode, Konami is already promising DLC for the game. But, wouldn't it be wise for the publisher to gauge the success of its new IP before attempting to make post-launch content?
NeverDead will be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Andrew Yoon posted a new article, NeverDead releases January 31, DLC promised.
NeverDead, Konami's shooter from Metal Gear Acid producer Shinta Nojiri, has been dated. And, of course, Konami is teasing DLC for the not-very-hyped game.

Bread, borscht, baked goods and more!
All were in abundance at Bethany Mennonite Church on Saturday as NOTLers returned for the beloved borscht and brown bread sale, this year in-person once again.
Co-ordinators Sue Weier and Linda Van Bergen were excited to see just how well sales went.
By 10:30 a.m., the baked goods table was nearly empty and borscht was going fast.
“I thought it was 12 o’clock but it’s only twenty to eleven,” said Weier.
In previous years, the church would have had a sit-down dinner with borscht being served and available for purchase.
Throughout the pandemic, slight changes were made, including holding a drive-through sale for the last two years.
Despite the changes, Pastor Herb Sawatzky said the sale remained popular.
“When we did it as just takeaway outside, the first year, we sold out in 45 minutes,” he said.
Back in person but without a sit-down dinner, this year’s sale was still a great success, he said.
“Borscht is one of our heritage meals and it’s a Mennonite dish that appears to be liked by non-Mennonites,” said Sawatzky.
“This event is something that our church community loves to do and it seems to be well received by Virgil and Niagara-on-the-Lake as well.”
The money raised by the Triple B Sale will help fund quilt-making that about a dozen church volunteers complete.
The quilts are regularly donated to scores of impoverished countries around the world via the Mennonite Central Committee.
“They’ve gone to people in pretty terrible situations, including those who have died of HIV. They like to be buried in them,” said Sawatzky.
“It’s very meaningful.”
After Saturday’s success, Van Bergen hopes that a sit-down dinner will be back soon.
“We hope (the dinner) will be back in person next year. We have people thinking about it already.”

Starbucks said it would've raised its guidance when it announced its earnings in late January, with Cowen saying the company has the greatest exposure in its restaurant coverage. But the illness outbreak shuttered more than half of its stores in the region. Starbucks shares were down 3% in Monday premarket trading. Skechers has 20% estimated revenue exposure in China, according to Cowen data, and 40% growth exposure. Skechers stock is down 3.8% in premarket trading. VF Corp. /zigman2/quotes/206706147/composite VFC -6.68% , which has a portfolio including The North Face and Vans and has shares down 3.3% in premarket, has about 15% revenue exposure, and Nike Inc. /zigman2/quotes/203439053/composite NKE -1.27% about 19%. Nike stock is down 4% in Monday premarket trading. There are also concerns from UBS analysts that Nike could miss earnings estimates due to the outbreak. Wells Fargo analysts warn that shelves could begin to empty in April due to supply chain disruption, but Cowen says there's "not yet explicit risk" as companies have "not yet fully accounted for any potential disruptions." The ProShares Decline of the Retail Store ETF /zigman2/quotes/200757065/composite EMTY +3.63% has gained 7.4% in Monday premarket trading and is up 4.8% over the last year.

Column: Walmart reopens old wounds over Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity
Solar-power developers often talk about a “pipeline” of projects, but this seems a bit too literal:
To ensure proper torqueing, inspectors should have used a special tool known as an MC4 torque tool. However, some inspectors were using a plastic MC4 tool, which is insufficient to ensure proper torque. Indeed, a Tesla inspector admitted that Tesla was using a plumbing tool (rather than an electrical tool) to tighten connectors ...
That was one of the more choice details from Walmart Inc.’s lawsuit against Tesla Inc. accusing it of “widespread, systemic negligence” with regards to solar-panel installations on more than 240 of the retailer’s stores, including seven connected to fires.
In its complaint, filed in New York on Tuesday, Walmart contends Tesla breached its contract to design, install, maintain and operate solar-power systems on the roofs of its stores. Aside from the fires — complete with photographic evidence — Walmart accuses Tesla of a pattern of negligence, obfuscation and, as in the instance with the plumbing tool being used to tighten electrical connectors, sheer incompetence.
Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. However, in letters from its lawyer, included as exhibits, Tesla blamed Walmart for “breaches of contract, deliberate delay, and bad faith,” effectively blocking the inspection process for the solar installations and unnecessarily forcing the entire fleet shut down for months because of a handful of “thermal events.”
An unusual feature of Walmart’s complaint is that the “substantive allegations” section begins not with the fires or even the installation of the offending panels but an important chapter of Tesla’s own corporate history, namely the 2016 acquisition of SolarCity Corp. Walmart pulls no punches, characterizing the deal as a bailout of a struggling related party. This section reads like a dramatic prologue aimed at establishing the narrative that Tesla’s energy business was built on shoddy foundations, setting off a chain of unfortunate events that ultimately sparked those fires and put that plumbing tool in that inspector’s hand.
It remains to be seen how effective a legal strategy this turns out to be.
One of the most interesting aspects of the fight concerns the demand that all of the systems be “de-energized,” something Tesla’s lawyer characterized as being granted for the sake of goodwill but outside the scope of Walmart’s contracted rights. (Investors in leased solar systems are typically paid based on how much energy they generate, so shutting them off is costly.) For its part, Walmart argues that even if only a few fires happened, they were still fires on the roofs of big buildings where masses of customers mill around buying stuff, so perhaps an abundance of caution was warranted (especially if you’ve lost faith in the contractor).
In any case, Walmart’s suit reopens old wounds for Tesla that never truly healed. SolarCity certainly was a struggling company. As I wrote in that summer of 2016, Tesla’s acquisition of it had more red flags than a Chinese embassy, with one proxy advisory firm characterizing it as a “thinly veiled bailout plan.”
The deal flipped Tesla’s balance sheet from having net cash to net debt, including the $920 million convertible note that had to be settled for cash earlier this year. Since the deal, Tesla’s solar installations have dropped precipitously, with the second quarter’s figure merely one-seventh of what SolarCity deployed in its last quarter as a separate company. Tesla said it expects deployments to “stabilize and grow” in the second half.
Tesla doesn’t break out figures for its energy operations beyond the gross margin line. However, from the fourth quarter of 2016 through the second quarter of 2019, gross profit added up to about $486 million. Annualized, that equates to a return of just 3.6% on the $4.9 billion transaction value — at the gross margin line. Apportioning Tesla’s R&D and general expenses to the energy business in line with its share of revenue would imply cumulative losses at the operating level. Speaking on an investor call earlier this year, a usually supportive Wall Street analyst described the SolarCity deal as a “controlled detonation.”
Walmart’s suit comes mere days after Tesla introduced a new rental option to revive its solar business. Above all, it adds to the sense that SolarCity was a deal that Tesla didn’t need and which has ultimately burdened its resources and now maybe its reputation, too.
The latter is especially important for a company that spent a good portion of last year struggling with the manufacture of a core product, the Model 3 car, and has faced questions about its own safety claims for that vehicle as well as complaints about quality and service.
It is also important because, despite record vehicle sales, Tesla’s losses mean its highly priced stock continues to trade less on fundamentals and more on narratives of disruptive genius. At the very least, Walmart’s competing narrative could throw a pipe wrench into those particular works.
