Veganism, fermented foods, urban agriculture and non-alcoholic beverages, discover the major culinary trends of the coming year!
An increasingly plant-based diet
While the trend has been around for a while, 2022 will see the popularity of plant-based food increase significantly. The interest in vegetarian, vegan and flexitarian diets, already on the rise in recent years, should continue to grow. Watch for a decrease in meat consumption, especially red meat perceived as less healthy, and a popularization of plant-based diets.
Mocktail recipes are taking the web by storm while alcohol-free products are multiplying on the shelves of SAQ stores and grocery stores: after drinking more than usual since the beginning of the pandemic, we are turning more and more often to alcohol-free solutions.
The least amount of processing possible is the credo that many people adhere to. We focus on tasty but simple dishes, made with fresh food and a short list of ingredients. We want to emphasize natural goodness and taste without the fuss. Complicated recipes with hard-to-find ingredients? We're getting further and further away from that...
Traditionally consumed around the world for ages, fermented products are known to increase the nutritional value of foods and allow us to take advantage of bacteria and micro-organisms for the benefit of our digestive system. Breads, beers, wines, cheeses, yogurts, kefirs and kombuchas, the fermentation technique is enjoying a resurgence in popularity.
International street food
Quebecers already have a passion for fried chicken, cutting edge pizza, gourmet sandwiches and burgers reinvented. We are now seeing an increase in street food from around the world. A trend that is certainly not about to fade away, and that's a good thing!
Rooftop, backyard and balcony farming will continue to take off in 2022. Over the past two years, many people have been experimenting with growing herbs, fruits and vegetables. Access to fresh, quality food is one of the main motivations for developing a green thumb.
In recent years, zero waste has become a habit in many Quebec households. Whether it's by encouraging local businesses that work to minimize the impact of their production, by cooking smart to avoid food waste, or by simply reducing consumption, we are seeing a growing awareness within our society, and it promises to be even more prominent this year.

Veracity expands sales team
Geoff Gritton joins UK sales team as innovator celebrates decade of growth
Veracity, a leading provider of innovative, intelligent solutions that solve real-world IP video challenges in transmission, storage and display, has announced an expansion of its sales team to help it meet increased demand from international customers and partners.
Veracity welcomes Geoff Gritton, an experienced sales executive as part of an expansion of its UK sales team. Gritton is a highly regarded industry veteran with a 20 year track record of sales expertise including senior roles at IndigoVision and Verint.
“Geoff has a terrific sales track record with major video surveillance manufacturers and is well-known and highly respected throughout our industry,”
says Alastair McLeod, Veracity Group CEO,
“He will be yet another huge asset to our team and we are all really excited about Geoff joining us, as he can take us into a whole new range of projects and customers due to his background and experience.”
Gritton’s appointment compliments Peter McKee who was appointed as Director of Business Development for Europe last month. Veracity is also in the final stages of hiring two additional staff for its engineering team and an additional member for both its sales support and design teams.
Veracity, which celebrated its 10 year anniversary in October, has grown from three to fifty staff with four offices across the UK and US with products sold into more than 40 countries. Through a network of international distributors and high profile OEM agreements including Samsung Techwin and Axis Communications, Veracity has enjoyed growth of roughly 30% per annum over the last 3 years and is on target to exceed that figure during 2015.
“We’re in our tenth straight year of profitable growth and have built up a truly excellent and hard-working team over these years. Veracity has invested heavily in EMEA sales expansion recently with key people now based in France, Germany and the Middle East.”
“We’ll be launching a lot of new products in 2016 within all three areas of transmission, storage and display. We are looking forward to another year of strong growth, with surveillance storage shaping up to be the key growth area for us,” McLeod adds.
Scott Sereboff, Global Sales Director and CEO of Veracity’s US subsidiary added,
“We now have a really talented and experienced team covering UK and EMEA sales, which is exactly what we need for the large surveillance storage projects we get involved in due to the international nature of the industry partnerships we have developed. Geoff will fit in perfectly with the rest of our team and I know he will be very successful in providing customers with exactly what they need.”

IDM ¦ Interview
Segment in transition
Dairy trends: Products with added health benefits
Dairy products have always been among the most
important product groups in the supermarket. Today,
however, milk, yoghurts and cheeses are being
joined by more and more hip and trendy products
that are changing the classic image of the segment.
That’s because cow’s milk has become an ambivalent product for
many consumers. Such ambivalence is evidenced by new products
in the dairy sector – from those enhanced by fortification to
plant-based alternatives. IDM spoke to Julien Bonvallet, Fi Europe
Brand Director, about the main topics of this year’s Fi Europe colocated
with Hi Europe, which will take place in Frankfurt from 30
November to 2 December.
IDM: Julien, what will be the status of dairy products at Fi and
Bonvallet: Dairy is omnipresent, as illustrated by the Fi Conference,
which will take place virtually from 22 November, with different
topics every day. They will include reformulation, life stage
nutrition and intestinal health. From the exhibitors' side, too,
milk and dairy products will be highlighted in their entirety. It is
also telling that many milk processors, such as FrieslandCampina,
Sachsenmilch, Armor Proteins or Carbery Food Ingredients Ltd.,
have decided not to exhibit in the Food ingredients Europe area
but in the Health ingredients Europe hall. This shows the importance
placed on the health properties of milk ingredients.
IDM: The consumer does not seem to see it quite so clearly.
Bonvallet: Anyone who informs themselves about milk and
other dairy products will no doubt come across conflicting information,
from the benefits of vitamins and minerals to the
risk of allergies, intolerances, and inflammation. One thing is
certain, though – many consumers still enjoy dairy products.
Our partner Innova Market Insights asked people from 12 European
countries about their reasons for consuming dairy products.
In the case of milk and milk-based drinks, just under half
said they valued the health benefits, with 38 per cent saying
they drink milk for taste reasons. It’s a similar situation for yoghurt,
with 52 per cent appreciating the health benefits, and
47 per cent citing taste as a reason for purchase. With cheese,
taste is the deciding factor for 63 per cent of consumers. Interestingly,
in the same survey, almost 41 per cent of respondents
said they considered plant-based milk alternatives to be
healthy, and 33.5 per cent said they enjoyed the taste.
Julien Bonvallet, Fi Europe Brand Director: Dairy is omnipresent
at the Fi Europe event (photo: Informa Markets)
In order to strengthen the image of milk as a healthy food, manufacturers
have begun to expand the classic range with new, enriched
products – from high-protein yoghurt to probiotic milk
drinks. That said, plant-based alternatives made from oats, rice
or peas are increasingly conquering the shelves too.
IDM: Probiotics started their triumphal march with Nestlé LC1
yoghurts in 1995. How popular are probiotic products today?
Bonvallet: Probiotic shots, i.e. those enriched with living bacterial
cultures, are still very much in vogue. The idea behind
it: Our intestines consist of beneficial bacteria, such as those
from the genus Lactobacillus, and potentially harmful ones like

Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD Quick Quote AMD - Free Report) has announced the launch of its latest Ryzen Embedded R-Series system-on-chips processors to expand its product portfolio to address new and trending markets.
The new Ryzen processor is specifically designed to address solutions for industrial and robotics systems, machine vision, IoT and thin-client equipment. Ryzen Embedded R2000 series doubles the core count and uplifts performance compared to prior models, with upto 81 percent higher CPU and graphics performance.
The company is constantly improving the performance of its Ryzen processors to help address the rising demand for the same, courtesy of the increasing proliferation of AI and Machine Learning (ML) in industries like cloud, gaming and data center.
This has impacted AMD's first-quarter 2022 revenues positively and is expected to aid its 2022 top-line growth.
AMD Product Portfolio to Help Boost Stock Prices
Shares of AMD have lost 41.8% compared with the Zacks
Electronics - Semiconductors industry’s and the Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s declines of 31.1% and 32.3%, respectively, in the year-to-date period.
The recent fall in share prices can be attributed to global supply chain challenges in the semiconductor industry, the Russia-Ukraine war and rising inflation that skyrocketed AMD’s operating expenses by 62% in the first quarter of 2022.
Negative sentiments among investors about the overall tech industry amidst macro-economic turmoil are reflected by the downfall of the tech-heavy NASDAQ index, which pulled down AMD prices.
Further, as AMD ventures into new markets, the company is facing rising competition from the likes of
NVIDIA ( NVDA Quick Quote NVDA - Free Report) .
NVIDIA is giving AMD tough competition in the high-performance computing (“HPC”) market. NVIDIA’s superchips have been benefiting from the rapid proliferation of AI while the company is expanding its base in untapped markets like climate science, energy research, space exploration and digital biology.
However, in order to address the rising inflation, the Federal Reserve has announced the biggest interest rate hike in the last 28 years. The Fed expects this move to curtail spending and rekindle traders’ interest to go long, specifically in cyclical sectors like technology.
AMD is expected to benefit from this due to its plans to address new markets, accelerate data center growth, and enter the AI and AR spaces with its launch of various new products.
AMD’s strategic acquisitions of Xilinx and Pensando will help the company address its expansion in uncharted AR space and data center business with its collaborated products.
The recent acquisition of Xilinx has helped AMD collaborate with
Meta Platforms ( META Quick Quote META - Free Report) to enter the metaverse.
AMD has become Meta’s ecosystem partner and AMD’s radio chip, Xilinx Zynq UltraScale RFSoC, will be utilized to develop a metaverse-ready radio access unit.
Also, the company is looking to capture a significant share of the $300-billion market of high-performance and adaptive products.
AMD is leading its peers in HPC by forming strategic partnerships to build products that set the bar quite high.
It is worth mentioning that AMD powers five of the top ten most powerful and eight of the top ten most energy-efficient supercomputers globally.
Recently, AMD partnered with
Hewlett Packard ( HPE Quick Quote HPE - Free Report) and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory to build the world’s fastest and most energy-efficient supercomputer — Frontier.
The company’s strong product portfolio and the strategy to enter new and emerging markets like HPC and the metaverse will aid its revenue growth. Its strategy will impact the stock prices positively and generate positive returns in the long run.
AMD currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see
the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Coinbase Bitcoin app pulled from Apple's App Store
Well that was fast! Less than a month after consumer-focused bitcoin platform Coinbase hit the App Store it's been yanked by Apple. As TechCrunch reports, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is baffled by Apple's decision to pull the app and has no idea why it was axed, saying "We're not sure why it was taken down and we've reached out to Apple to request clarification."
Bitcoin hasn't exactly has an easy go of things in its quest to become a go-to decentralized currency alternative. A volatile price and huge spikes has made it a tough recommendation for things like, oh, your life savings for example. Still, it's definitely a legitimate currency option and it will be interesting to hear Apple's eventual explanation for why the Coinbase app has been shut down.

NASCAR WCUP: Roush and Busch to Honor 100th Anniversary of Ford Racing
Posted By Terry Callahan
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.- This weekend, Jack Roush and Kurt
Busch will step into a special place in Ford Motor Company's storied racing
Motorsports Editor, The Auto Channel
Roush Racing has agreed to help Ford celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Ford Racing by outfitting the #97 Roush Racing Ford Taurus with a special edition paint scheme for Thursday's Gatorade Twin 125 qualifying race and Sunday's Daytona 500.
Ford announced a year-long celebration of its 100th season of racing during press conferences in Chicago and Daytona last week.
"There's no better way to bring the message of our 100-year history in racing to our fans than to run a special edition Taurus in the Daytona 500," said Dan Davis, director, Ford Racing Technology. "And who better to prepare that car than one of our racing legends - Jack Roush?"
Roush's legacy within Ford Racing is secure amid his teams' successes in NASCAR, IMSA, SCCA, and NHRA. His teams have collected 47 career NASCAR Winston Cup victories, 10 GT-class wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the 2000 NASCAR Craftsman Truck championship, to name only a few of his achievements.
"We began talking with Ford several weeks ago about celebrating the 100-year racing anniversary," said Roush. "We've got quite a history together, Ford and Roush Racing, and that makes it a natural fit.
"I look at it as an honor to highlight the Ford Racing program's great heritage that we have fortunate to be part of for so many years."
At 22, the youngest of Ford's NASCAR Winston Cup drivers, Busch receives the unique honor of celebrating Ford Motor Company's oldest business endeavor in his debut Daytona 500.
The special edition 100th anniversary paint scheme, intended for competition during Speedweeks only, depicts Henry Ford, race car builder Oliver Barthel, and Ford's original 1901 "Sweepstakes" race car which won "the race that changed the world" on the hood. The image of the 1901 car is highlighted by a graphic Ford Racing, 100 Years, and a cream and red ribbon flows front to rear over a blue base background.
The "race that changed the world" occurred on October 10, 1901, when Henry Ford defeated Alexander Winton, the most accomplished automobile builder/racer of the era, in a 10-lap race at the Detroit Driving Club in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
The acclaim from that race, the only one Henry Ford ever drove, brought him one giant step closer to achieving his dream: to manufacture a vehicle that was strong, dependable, lightweight, and inexpensive. He founded the Ford Motor Company two years later - in June, 1903 - spawning a series of advancements in automotive design, mass production, and marketing that made the automobile a mainstream consumer product.
Ford Motor Company recently unveiled its plans to celebrate a century of racing excellence throughout 2001 with a series of events, contests, auto show displays, and chronicles. Visit www.fordracing.com for details.

When Microsoft bought Nokia’s mobile division in 2013, it made a deal that the Finnish manufacturer couldn’t make any smartphones until after December 31, 2015. Now with that date approaching, Nokia is ready to get back in the game.
Citing two sources who’ve been briefed on Nokia’s smartphone plans, Re/code reports that Nokia will be returning to the smartphone market, and has other ambitious plans for virtual reality as well.
Although Nokia can’t make physical handsets until the end of this year, the company has done everything in mobile except make a smartphone. Last summer, Nokia made a pretty awesome Android Z Launcher, and it showed off its iPad-inspired tablet at Mobile World Congress this past March. Just last week, Nokia made a big move and purchased French telecommunications equipment maker Alcatel-Lucent for $16.6 billion. So yeah, even though Nokia may be down, it’s definitely not out of this mobile fight.
However, it’s probably best to temper that enthusiasm for Nokia of old. As Re/code mentions, the company won’t be building some huge manufacturing operation in step with Apple or Samsung. Instead, Nokia will likely continue selling its brand and designs for other companies to build and distribute, much like Nokia did with Foxconn and the new N1 Android tablet.
Will we see any Nokia-branded anything in the US? Who knows; so far the N1 tablet has no plans to come to the States, and Nokia’s smartphones may follow suit. But it’s strangely comforting knowing the company whose hardware I played hours and hours and hours of Snake on as a kid isn’t completely dead just yet.

OnePlus shows Xiaomi how to gracefully accept defeat
- Xiaomi posted a Twitter poll, pitting MIUI 9 against Android One. MIUI 9 lost by a landslide, and Xiaomi deleted the results.
- OnePlus performed a similar poll, pitting OxygenOS against pure Android. Pure Android also won by a landslide.
- However, OnePlus did not delete the poll, and instead thanked users for their feedback and committed to making OxygenOS even better.
On February 7, the official Xiaomi Twitter account asked users in a poll which is the preferred Android variation — Android One or MIUI 9. Unsurprisingly, the final results netted a clear win for Android One at 57% of the vote, putting MIUI 9 at only 43%.
The poll itself is not super exciting, as anyone with even the slightest interest in Android will tell you that the closer to stock you get, the more users like it. But what happened next was sure interesting: Xiaomi deleted the poll.
That’s right, only three days later Xiaomi took down the tweet and the poll. One can assume that the company wanted to hide its shame in losing. But don’t worry; after all, this is the internet, so we have screenshots of the final poll results before Xiaomi removed the tweet forever:
Two days after Xiaomi deleted the poll results, February 12, OnePlus must have decided it wanted in on the action. Szymon Kopeć, a OnePlus employee, posted a remarkably similar poll on Twitter — which do you prefer, pure Android or OxygenOS?
At first, things looked like they were going to end up in OnePlus’ favor, with OxygenOS leading the charge. The CEO of OnePlus, Carl Pei, even chimed in to say, “Don’t delete this poll,” as both a subtle dig at Xiaomi and a celebration that OxygenOS was doing so well.
But, eventually, the poll shifted in favor of pure Android, resulting in similar numbers to the Xiaomi poll: 58% pure Android to 42% for OxygenOS.
What did OnePlus do next? If you guessed “delete the poll,” I’m sorry, but you don’t win a prize today. In fact, it did the opposite; it accepted defeat with style and grace:
Thanks for an overwhelming amount of responses. I’ve read all your comments. Appreciate the positive and, especially, negative ones. It motivates us for further work on OxygenOS and helps improving the product. Cheers!— Szymon Kopeć ??? (@szymonkopec) February 14, 2018
OnePlus as a company sure has had its share of blunders over the past few years, like the time it went on the wrong side of gender politics, or when its credit card processing got hacked. But this poll and reaction to the results are pure gold, and a clear win for OnePlus… and a clear loss for Xiaomi.
Now seriously, OnePlus, update OxygenOS so users can choose theme colors from a color wheel instead of from the eight horribly misguided color choices you currently give us. If you make that change, OxygenOS will get my vote:

GoPro Hero 5 Release Date And Rumors Update: Drone Capability, 8K Shooting And Everything You Need To Know
GoPro Hero 5 release date might have been pushed to October, in time for the holidays, according to rumors. The action camera could feature drone capabilities and 8K shooting support.
Yibada earlier reported that the GoPro Hero 5 would be launched early 2016, but the rollout was set aside as the company shifted the focus to the its first-ever action drone, the Karma. Rumors suggest that the company will release Karma first, followed by the Hero 5.
As this places the release date to be in either May or June, the industry follower believes that GoPro will launch the Hero 5 toward the end of the year, possibly by October. An October launch is plausible as this would be an ideal time because of the upcoming the holidays, Christian Today reported.
Rumors indicated that the Hero 5 would have outstanding underwater shooting capabilities. It is believed that the GoPro Hero 5 will deliver underwater shooting at a depth of 60 meters, which would be a 300 percent improvement over the existing GoPro Hero 4, Value Walk reported.
The action camera could also shoot in 8K video format, as 4K has become really mainstream. Rumors also suggest of a dual-lens camera, which will enable the action camera to capture both 3D images and video, ensuring that GoPro consumers can film their own 3D productions.
GoPro Hero 5 may also have the capability of shooting videos at 60 frames per second across numerous resolutions. 60 frames per second is becoming a standard across various forms of media, and it will be excellent news for action camera fans that this is being made a central aspect of the GoPro Hero 5, Value Walk added.

We have been hearing about a rumored smartphone from UMi called as the UMi Touch X. It was said that the phone was going to be bezel-less. Now, we have new information which states that the UMi X is actually going to be called as the UMi Super and will come with much more than a bezel-less display. The upcoming device is now said to come with dual cameras at the back, a feature which only the top smartphone makers can boast of.
2016 seems to be the year of dual cameras, with this particular setup being seen on a number of smartphones lately. Dual cameras did see some popularity a couple of years back, but it soon faded away. Now, looks like manufacturers are all set to give this setup a second try, making it much better than before.
Along with the new name and the features, we also have the first image of the UMi Super. As you can see, the company seems to be experimenting with a different design than smartphone manufacturers like Huawei and LG. Instead of placing the two cameras parallel to each other, UMi Super comes with two cameras, one below the other. In between, we can see what should be a dual tone flash. Apart from the interesting dual camera design, rest of the looks seem to be similar to the recently launched UMi Touch.
Placing two cameras at the back is not an impossible task, but getting them to work together to capture the best possible images and videos is something that’s going to be a challenge for UMi. We will have to wait and see how the dual cameras on the UMi Super will work together to take pictures.
As of now, this is all we have on the Super. Stay tuned for more details on the device in the coming days.

HP barely maintains PC lead over Lenovo in Q4, says IDC
- 11 January, 2013 19:50
Despite a major push by rival Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard has held onto its position as the top seller of PCs worldwide, according to IDC.
The researcher Thursday reported that HP maintained its worldwide PC lead in the fourth quarter despite slowing sales -- shipment totals were 0.6% lower than last year while Lenovo's grew by 8.2%.
"HP continued to defend its top position in IDC's worldwide ranking, recovering somewhat from past weakness in key markets," IDC reported. "An aggressive push for Windows 8 volume helped the vendor make gains in Asia/Pacific and its home turf in the U.S."
IDC also reported that while Lenovo made strong market gains in the quarter, its growth wasn't as dramatic as it had been earlier in 2012.
" Lenovo outpaced the market with growth of over 8%," noted the IDC report. "Despite the positive performance, Lenovo's gains remained significantly smaller than several quarters ago when the company was besting market growth by nearly 30%."
In fact, Gartner said its research showed Lenovo edging out HP in the third quarter. Gartner said Lenovo held 15.7% of the PC market while HP's third quarter share was 15.5%. IDC researchers said at the time that HP held a slim third quarter lead, holding 15.9% of the PC market, while Lenovo held 15.7%.
Gartner has yet to release its fourth quarter PC market share figures.
Zeus Kerravala, an analyst with ZK Research, expects that Lenovo will soon be the number one PC seller on all lists.
"I think it's only a matter of time," said Kerravala. "It's been tough times for HP across its product lines. There have been so many questions about whether HP will stay in the PC business, people are scared away."
In 2011, HP disclosed that it was considering selling its PC manufacturing business.
Though HP later said it had decided to keep the PC business, buyers remained wary of its long-term commitment to the market.
Kerravala said he saw the effects of that as recently as this past holiday season when he was looking to buy a laptop.
"I was in BestBuy looking at laptops and the person directed me to Lenovo because HP may or may not stay in PCs," he added. "Those rumors stick around for a long time, and loyalty is so hard to get back."
Kerravala said HP needs to reaffirm its commitment to the PC market, while Lenovo needs to increase its advertising in the U.S. where it doesn't have as much name recognition, even though it's roots are with IBM. IBM sold its PC business to the Chinese firm in 2005.
"If I were Lenovo, I would hit the consumer market hard and step on HPs throat," he said.
Rounding out the top five PC makers in the IDC list are third-place Dell, whose shipments declined by 20.8% in the fourth quarter compare to the year-earlier period, Acer Group, whose PC shipments declined by 28.2% in the quarter, and ASUS, whose shipments grew by 5.6%.

Blur NFT marketplace’s popularity is growing at an incredible pace. They already overtook Opensea to become the top marketplace by trading volume. Furthermore, their $300 Million Season 2 airdrop is making users worldwide join their loyalty program. So, who is the founder of Blur NFT Marketplace?
Who is Tieshun Roquerre (Blur’s Pacman)
Following attempts by users on Crypto Twitter to uncover his identity, Tieshun Roquerre, also known as “Pacman” in online circles, has revealed himself as one of the founders of Blur. Blur is a popular NFT marketplace for professional traders, supported by prominent crypto VC firm Paradigm, and has surpassed OpenSea as the leading NFT exchange in terms of trading volume.
Twitter users discovered that Paradigm had also invested in Namebase, where Roquerre is publicly recognized as the founder. Following this discovery, some users noticed Roquerre’s Twitter account and observed that he had liked and shared posts from Blur. Shortly thereafter, Roquerre revealed his identity in what some have called a “face reveal.”
Roquerre, who is currently 24 years old, worked as a software engineer at the e-commerce platform Teespring before dropping out of high school. He went on to co-found StrongIntro and participated in the Y Combinator startup accelerator program. After that, Roquerre attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for two years. He then dropped out to establish Namebase, a startup focused on crypto domains. Soon, he managed to raise $5 million and then sold to Namecheap in less than three years.
What is BLUR?
Blur is a decentralized marketplace designed specifically for professional NFT traders and art enthusiasts, providing a space for both groups to connect and enjoy themselves. The platform is supported by Paradigm and is currently live, offering airdrops to NFT traders. Since launching on October 19, 2022, it has quickly become one of the fastest and most flexible NFT marketplaces available.
Blur entered the NFT market with the promise of distributing BLUR tokens to NFT traders through an airdrop in early 2023. Since then, trading on the platform has exploded, following its multi-million dollar airdrop to its initial adopters. According to data available on Dune Analytics, Blur now holds a significant 80.6% market share among NFT exchanges, while OpenSea’s market share sits at around 14.5%, based on trading volume. Learn more about what is BLUR now!
Blur is just full of surprises. A few days ago we receive news on their airdrop. On Valentine’s day was their token release. They are also changing the entire NFT market structure. Finally, we found out who their founder is, Tieshun Roquerre. What else does Blur have in-stall for us?

A former city worker who swapped skyscrapers for a stall on Brick Lane has been named one of 10 UK recipients of the first Uber Eats Black Business Fund.
The fund, set up by Uber Eats in collaboration with Be Inclusive Hospitality and Enterprise Nation, saw a £50,000 fund distributed to 10 small Black-owned businesses across the country that have been affected by the pandemic.
One winner, Jenny Campbell, gave up a corporate career to launch her own brand of vegan Caribbean food. Early success on an East End stall in London convinced her to officially open the Guava Kitchen in Forest Hill just before the pandemic struck.
She said: "At first, I knew nothing about hospitality, so when I said I wanted to open a restaurant, everyone I knew said don't do it! The pandemic had a severe impact on the business, but now we can push forward with our vision of showcasing the best Black vegan food products from around the world.
"Being a Black female business owner, it's important to me to support a realistic demographic of my local area and set a strong example to young Black people. Around 80% of my young team is made of people from Black or ethnic minority backgrounds. This investment will help us to invest in young local talent."
Matthew Price, Uber Eats general manager, said: "Small businesses and restaurants are the beating heart of local communities, and we're honoured to give so many a platform on Uber Eats. Given the significant economic impact of the pandemic, we are incredibly proud to support small Black-owned businesses across the country. Each recipient has their own story of extraordinary resilience and entrepreneurial drive and we hope the fund will allow them to thrive as their journey continues."
More than 150 restaurants applied for the fund. Other winners included Dirty Kitch, a vegan restaurant in Coventry. Owner Danielle Saunders (pictured) was nine months pregnant when she opened her restaurant in late 2019.
She said: "Starting a business before the pandemic has been incredibly challenging, but we're so proud of what we've managed to achieve. We did everything with a limited budget and depended heavily on the support of the community around us. This support will not only help us grow, but to flourish.
"We have always tried to make our menu as affordable as possible to ensure plant-based food is accessible. Thanks to the grant, we're free to work more in the community. It's my dream to deliver cooking demonstrations in local primary schools, showing young people that it's easy to produce delicious, healthy and sustainable meals."
Most of the winning restaurants were based in London and four of the 10 restaurants served entirely plant-based menus. The full list of recipients of the Black Business Fund grants included:
- The Breakhouse Café, London
- Jam Delish, London
- The Flygerians, London
- Dirty Kitch, Coventry
- TribeV, London
- Drums and Flats, London
- Vegan Shack UK, Manchester
- The Guava Kitchen, London
- Issa Vibe, London
- Bando Belly, London
In the UK, just 5% of small or medium-sized businesses are run by people from Black or other ethnic minority backgrounds.
Uber previously announced investment to support Black-owned small businesses in the US, however this is the first time the company has launched a fund in the UK.
The Black Business Fund recipients were selected by judges from Enterprise Nation, Be Inclusive hospitality and Black Eats London.
Lorraine Copes, founder of Be Inclusive hospitality, said: "I am extremely proud to have partnered on this initiative, providing mentors for the 10 brilliant businesses who will receive this fund. This initiative reinforces what I know to be true, which is the importance of taking a multi-pronged approach in supporting Black businesses to move forward and upward."
Jackson Mclarty, from Black Eats London, added: "Supporting, elevating, and progressively driving forward Black-owned hospitality businesses are our core values and this initiative did exactly that. It was a pleasure to be a part of the judging process and part of an initiative providing both long- and short-term support to business owners who have battled various lockdowns and restrictions over the past two years."

Amazon.com Inc. is a company focused on the future. Driven by a goal to put the customer first, it has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to force change across the retail industry and beyond, and its willingness to tackle markets many believed were protected from Amazon’s reach. It is a powerhouse company, and retailers, no matter their product or service, must view it as formidable.
Internet Retailer’s first-ever research report focused on North America and Europe’s top online retailer reviews and analyzes key parts of Amazon’s business to provide an accurate view of its position and influence in retailing.
For instance, Amazon is now the second-largest retailer in the United States (behind Wal-Mart Stores Inc.) based on the total value of merchandise sold through its platforms, yet operates only a handful of physical stores. Within U.S. online retailing, it accounted for 45% of the industry’s 2016 sales growth, and almost 19% of total retail growth. Viewed globally, the company logs about $372 million in revenue daily, which is roughly 10 times the median annual sales of the 1,000 largest online retailers in North America.
The Amazon Report, from Internet Retailer’s research team, takes a historical view of the company’s growth and advancements, such as the role of Amazon Prime; analyzes its burgeoning marketplace platform and services arm—including AWS and Fulfillment By Amazon—and highlights key growth areas for the company in a 44-page report with more than 20 charts and data insights.
Amazon is a company on the move. Consider these recent developments:
- It’s pending acquisition of Whole Foods Market Inc., including 460 stores, for $13.7 billion.
- In the last 18 months, it opened 28 full-scale fulfillment centers in the United States, and has 34 additional planned.
- Amazon’s sales grew 60% year over year on Prime Day, Amazon’s self-made sale holiday.
- Amazon introduced its paid expedited delivery program Prime to Mexico this spring, bringing the total number of countries where Prime is available to 12.

In today’s digital world, social media plays a vital role in how we communicate, shop for new products and services and keep ourselves entertained. As PR professionals, social media has also shifted the way we need to think and strategize on behalf of our clients. It has given us a direct outlet to reach our clients’ customers which requires a smart approach to ensure messages are made in a clear, concise and engaging manner.
It’s undeniable that social media has seen exponential growth over the past couple of years. As it continues to expand, what do you think the second largest social network is based on active monthly users around the globe, behind Facebook? While most people would guess Twitter, it is actually Google+, according to a GlobalWebIndex report released this month. Since its launch in June of 2011, many people have been skeptical of the platform’s future, some even deeming it as a Google flop. In reality, the site has grown steadily and has met Google’s expectations. According to a Huffington Post social media infographic, 625,000 people join the social networking site every day, and active users spend more than 60 minutes a day across Google products. It is also a resourceful tool for businesses, websites using the +1 button increase page traffic by 350%.
Dave Llorens’ Fast Company article from earlier this year discusses Google’s ultimate plans for the site, which despite popular belief was not designed to overpower Facebook, but to gain important consumer insights similar to what Facebook has been able to do, in order to enhance its advertising offerings by customizing ads based on users’ online activity. Google also uses Google+ as the backbone to connect its other properties such as YouTube, Google Maps, Images, Offers, Books and more.
What sets Google+ apart from the other social properties is its connection with Google. Local businesses use Google+ to show up in Google’s local pages, bloggers connect their blogs to Google Authorship to reach new users and gamers utilize the wide selection of games and videos available to them through the exclusively through the platform.
Google+ pages also allow you to group your friends into circles based on any criteria that you’d like, for example demographics, interests or any friends/acquaintances. You can then reach out directly to specific circles or to the group as a whole. The most recent addition to Google+ is the launch of Google+ Hangouts On Air, which allows you to broadcast live to an unlimited number of guests for FREE. The broadcast streams via YouTube and can be accessed by using a personalized source code for the event. The White House recently took advantage of the new service, when Vice President Joe Biden hosted a Fireside Hangout to discuss the White House Policy recommendations on preventing gun violence. Companies are also embracing this channel to reach customers. For example, Chevrolet recently announced that it will unveil the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette during a live Hangout event.
As easy as it is to focus on Facebook, Twitter and even Pinterest when developing a social strategy or campaign, be sure to consider Google+ as you’re in the planning stages. As Google continues to develop new programs and platforms for the social site, it’s only going to continue to grow.
Have you joined Google+? If so, how do you use it and what have you found that you like best/least about it?

My January 2011 column addressed the importance of trademark protection for names of PR firms. This topic is particularly important now, due to two new developments involving domain names. PR agencies that have not already filed a federally registered trademark in the name of their firm now have an added reason to do so.
The worldwide Internet domain name system is coordi- nated by a nonprofit entity called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN recently implemented two new domain name suffixes known as generic top-level domains (gTLDs). Perhaps the most familiar gTLDs are “.com,” “.org,” “.net,” and “.edu.” ICANN just introduced two new suffixes – .XXX gTLD and the unique or branded gTLD, in addition to the familiar and traditional suffixes previously mentioned.

Are you fed up with daily news of iPhone series? Want something new? Here it is. Recently, Apple won patent case in Germany against the Google owned Motorola. The Germany court has found Google-owned IT company, Motorola guilty of infringing Apple patents on the design of smartphones and tablets.
Apple has already won a similar case against Samsung in the United States in August. In its case against Samsung, Apple’s iOS head Scott Forstall testified that Steve Jobs was particularly annoyed to see other companies taking the invention and putting their name on it. The California court decided in favour of Apple, awarding the iPhone maker about one billion dollars (euros) in damages.
But in this Motorola case, the patent involves a feature known as “overscroll bounce” or “rubber-banding”. This feature pulls a written text or image back to the centre of the screen to signify to the user that the end of a list or menu has been completed. These Infringing devices include the the Motorola Atrix, the Motorola DEFY, Motorola Milestone XT720 and Motorola XOOM, which all use the Android OS.
The 381 patent is the American equivalent of the European EP2126678 patent. Dr. Peter Guntz, Judge of the court, and his dedicate panel have decided that the company has a number of devices in circulation that infringe upon that patent. As a result of the ruling, the most valuable company in the world have placed a 25 million Euro bond in order to force Motorola to stop selling the affected devices as well as having the option to force Google’s smartphone division to recall all devices if an additional 10 million is placed down.
This is the third win for Apple against Motorola in Germany, with the first two including Slide to Unlock and the photo gallery’s Flip to Navigate features.
However, the patent decision does not stop Motorola from building competing devices and the company is free to develop original smartphones and tablets that do not infringe Apple’s design. But the court has ordered Motorola to pay a yet-to-be-specified fine and pull the infringing devices, which run on Google’s Android operating system, from the market.

2015 has been a great year for travel and 2016 promises to take the experience to a whole new level, with travellers evolving and OTAs coming out with new products to cater to this new breed of travellers. Manmeet Ahluwalia, Marketing Head, Expedia India brings some interesting insights on the travel scope of India in 2016.
The tourism industry will be more focused on catering to experience and experiment which will be the new trend. A lot of sports related activates have caught the interest of people and an increase in demand for offbeat places and activities have been noticed.

Tourists are willing to explore the destinations and enjoy the local flavours by spending more time. Those looking for a relaxed holiday prefer a homestay and destinations like Kerala, Manali, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan are picking up fast on the concept of Homestay.

When Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy in February, it claimed to have lost some 850,000 Bitcoins. Theft and poor accounting were blamed, and now there's a new wrinkle. Mt. Gox recently found 200,000 Bitcoins in a "forgotten" online wallet. Those Bitcoins are worth around $115 million at the current exchange rate, and the circumstances surrounding their discovery are a little unusual.
Mt. Gox says it found the lost Bitcoins on March 7 as part of an effort to check old wallets that were thought to be empty. According to an official statement (PDF), the exchange claims to have notified the court supervising its "rehabilitation proceedings" on March 10. The Bitcoins were subsequently moved to an offline wallet "for security reasons."
As Reuters points out, the public announcement of the discovery didn't come until yesterday—after the judge in charge of a class action suit targeting Mt. Gox gave the green light to track "some of the exchange's Bitcoin movements." The law firm backing the suit told Reuters it was already monitoring 180,000 Bitcoins related to the case, and that "it appears Mt. Gox realized we were close and decided to acknowledge that it owned [them]."
In related news, the software that manages Bitcoin transactions has been updated to fix a weakness that made Mt. Gox and other exchanges vulnerable to hackers. Version 0.9.0 of the software addresses "mutated transactions," reports Ars Technica, and it includes provisions to "report wallet transactions that conflict with each other or that contain incorrect balances for double-spent (or mutated) transactions."
Despite the Mt.Gox debacle, Bitcoin's price hasn't plummeted. In fact, the cryptocurrency is worth more today than before the bankruptcy was announced. At this point, though, I'd probably feel safer putting my money in GameStop.

Yes, it’s that time again — password changing time. On Thursday, Twitter revealed that a bug caused the platform to store user passwords in unmasked form. Normally, sensitive personal data like passwords would be stored in hashed form using a mix of letters and numbers to protect the content of the password itself. In this instance, it sounds like Twitter stored plain text passwords openly without any hashing on an internal log.
Twitter notes that it currently has “no reason to believe password information ever left Twitter’s system” or that these unprotected passwords were accessed by hackers, but the risk of the unknown remains. The company has advised users to change their passwords as a precautionary measure.
Here’s what Twitter says happened:
We’ve reached out to Twitter for more details on the bug and additional information about how this could have happened. Update: Twitter declined to provide additional technical details on the incident but emphasized that is believes the likelihood that the passwords were discoverable is “extremely low” and an internal investigation has revealed no indications of a breach or other misuse.

Just a few weeks ago Samsung presented it’s brand new Galaxy Note 10, the largest terminal in the Galaxy family. It is a device with the latest from the Korean company that also boasts resistance thanks to the incorporation of Gorilla Glass 6 both in the front and in the back of the device.
PhoneBuff has faced it with the iPhone XS Max in a drop resistance test and both devices have been seriously damaged. However, it seems that the damage suffered by the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 allows it to continue operating with relative normality, something that does not happen with the Apple device.
The test that nobody wants to suffer
This fall test consists of several phases, first, the devices are thrown with the backside down, then they are allowed to fall on a corner and finally they are tested after a fall with the screen down. In these three tests, they show very similar results in both terminals, although the iPhone is the winner when it suffers less damage.
However, at the end of the video, another test is carried out, consisting of 10 consecutive falls, and in this case, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 seems to resist better as it continues to work perfectly. With a total possible score of 40 points, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 reached 37 exceeding 34 of the iPhone XS Max.
When Apple announced the iPhone XS and XS Max announced that the devices had “the toughest glass in the world on a smartphone.” Apple never says it publicly, but we know that its relationship with Corning is important and it is believed that the iPhone XS and XS Max also have Gorilla Glass 6.
In addition to all this, the imminent iPhone 11 is expected to have an even stronger glass as reported by the latest rumors, we will have to wait a few weeks to check.

Shares of Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) are down 3.6% in premarket trading on Friday after the company offered disappointing full-year guidance.
PG reported a core EPS of $1.21 that missed the estimate of $1.23. Net sales came in at $19.52 billion, slightly ahead of the $19.38 billion consensus. P&G reported negative organic volume growth of -1% while analysts were looking for +0.58%.
The company said it expects to generate organic revenue growth of +3% to +5%, missing the consensus of +5.19%. PG expects diluted net EPS growth of +4% compared to FY 2022 EPS of $5.81, which equates to $5.93 per share.
A Stifel analyst said the results were disappointing and “somewhat transitory.”
“Overall we view the result as disappointing, particularly given consistency and outperformance in recent years. That said, we anticipate sales underperformance to be mostly transitory, including results from Russia, China, and SKII. We anticipate F2023 consensus moves down ~1%-2%, with PG shares underperforming similarly,” the analyst wrote in a research note.
A Goldman Sachs analyst is also disappointed as he believes PG reported results and outlook that “fall short of an already lowered bar.”
“Most investors expected EPS guidance to come in below the Street at the mid-point, but the range provided is still below what most we spoke with expected. All-in, we would expect the stock to trade down on the quarter miss and guide-below,” he said.

Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics will launch their first cell phones running the Windows Phone 7 operating system next week, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said Monday.
The Omnia 7 will go on sale in France on Oct. 21 and LG will put its Optimus 7 on sale in Europe and Asia on the same day, the report said, quoting the companies.

The Samsung handset will launch in other markets in the coming months including the U.S., where AT&T will sell it as the Samsung Focus, Yonhap said. It has a 4-inch screen.
A second LG handset called the Optimus 7Q, which is a version of the Optimus 7 with a QWERTY keyboard and 3.5-inch screen, will be put on sale by AT&T on Nov. 21, the news agency said.
LG’s U.K. unit has already announced the Optimus 7 and Samsung’s Russian unit has announced the Omnia 7, but the other handsets are as-yet unannounced.

Fans of Sam Fisher have reason to celebrate, as Splinter Cell’s beloved star will be back in action next week in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint as part of a possible crossover with Terminator.
The news comes via the Ghost Recon Twitter feed, which revealed Sam’s return to Breakpoint on Monday March 24. The announcement is accompanied by a short video for the new Deep State adventure, in which the hero, voiced once again by Michael Ironside, talks about the events that took place on Auroa, the island that is the backdrop to the game. There are also references to weapons, drones and Terminators.
The Terminators arrived on Breakpoint in January, so it’s unclear whether Fisher will see it directly against the deadly machines, as Ubisoft hasn’t provided further details, warning players to “stay tuned for more information.”
Obviously, this is a long way from a new Splinter Cell, rumored several times, but, at least, fans of the series will be able to return to see the hero in action.
Whatever Ubisoft has in store, it will arrive alongside Ghost Recon’s long-awaited Immersive Mode update, expected on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on March 24.
