Fall Design Challenge Includes 60+ Students
More than 60 students from Florida State University, the University of Minnesota and Auburn University will participate in the “Groovystuff by Design: Connecting Education with Industry Challenge” for the fall 2014 academic semester.
Students taking part in the eco-friendly furniture challenge will debut their final design projects at the Oct. 17-23 High Point Furniture Market in “The University Hall of Innovation & Job Creation.”
Groovystuff, a Dallas-based designer that creates reclaimed teak wood furniture, sponsors the design challenge, a sustainable program that has been endorsed and repeated at Auburn University, the University of Minnesota, Appalachian State University and the University of Idaho. The educational platform established in 2010 by Chris Bruning of Groovystuff also has been endorsed by Southern Illinois University, Columbia College in Chicago, the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, North Carolina State University, Purdue University, the Art Institute of Las Vegas, the University of Georgia, KMITL in Bangkok, Thailand and Appalachian State University.
In the design challenge, students are required to design an accessory, accent or occasional home furnishings product that utilizes or reconfigures the reclaimed material that exemplifies the Groovystuff product line and is competitive enough via written orders at market to be included in the company’s catalog. The three universities will debut the results of the design challenge at the fall High Point Market next to the “Made in America” Pavilion in “The University Hall of Innovation & Job Creation,” at the Suites at Market Square.
Auburn University has conducted the Groovystuff by Design Challenge for four consecutive years, and this fall, Professor Tin-Man Lau has included 12 students from Auburn Universities sister school in Taiwan, Shu-Te University. Twelve senior-level design students and one graduate student from the Product Design Department will join 22 other students in the Industrial & Graphics Design department at Auburn to participate in the challenge. Students from Taiwan will have an extra bonus to their education with the added exposure of understanding how to successful launch a home furnishings product here in the United States.
When asked what it meant for the University of Minnesota to adopt “The Groovystuff by Design Challenge” for the second time, Professor Abi Asojo had this to share: “Groovystuff provides a great academic and industry collaboration. Their program offers students the opportunity to collaborate with industry allowing them to understand the conceptualizing, designing and building of a light fixture using sustainable materials from the company's line. I am excited about the opportunity available for my students to collaborate with practice and actually create a prototype.”
The University Hall of Innovation & Job Creation is an industry co-operative founded by Chris Bruning that bridges the gap between education and the residential home furnishings industry. The University Hall of Innovation & Job Creation provides an invaluable opportunity for students and professors to network with retailers, designers, manufacturers, suppliers, journalists and industry professionals at the High Point Market.
Students from each school will submit 20-by-30-inch product board, one-quarter scale model and 42-inch tall pedestal for their models for a chance to compete in the “Popular Vote at Market” for the High Point Market. The winning design from each school will receive a $250 cash prize.

Thomas Cook in £1.5bn loss as Brexit woe hits holidays: Debt-riddled travel company plunges nearly 15%
Thomas Cook shares tumbled nearly 15 per cent after it racked up record half-year losses of £1.5billion.
On another bleak day for investors, the debt-riddled travel company also sounded the alarm over the outlook for the rest the year.
Shares closed down 14.7 per cent, or 3.38p, to 19.61p, valuing the business at around £300million and sparking speculation it could become a takeover target.
Nosedive: Thomas Cook shares tumbled nearly 15 per cent after it racked up record half-year losses of £1.5bn
Chief executive Peter Fankhauser claimed Brexit worries have put families off booking their summer holidays.
He said there was 'little doubt' its customers had delayed making travel plans in the early months of 2019, when it would usually start lining up bookings for later in the year.
And the firm warned it would struggle in 'challenging' trading this summer as there has been 'no tangible change' to bookings in the weeks since Brexit was pushed back to October 31.
Before March 29 – when the UK was due to leave the European Union – there were concerns that a No Deal scenario could cause major travel disruption.
There were worries about long delays at borders and that leaving the EU would trigger a plunge in the value of the pound, which would make holidays in Europe and elsewhere more expensive.
Thomas Cook's first-half losses were five times larger than the £303million shortfall it made in the same period last year.
And in its third profits warning in less than a year, Thomas Cook warned that the second half would be worse than previously thought.
Thomas Cook was also forced to write down the value of My Travel, which it bought in 2007, by £1.1billion.
Thomas Cook, which has debts of £1.25billion, also announced it is cutting 150 jobs at its head office in Peterborough as it continues to try to cut costs.
Neil Wilson, chief market analyst at Markets, described it as 'a whopper of a loss and a profits warning'.

For two decades now, Indian retailers have been missing from Deloitte’s annual “Global Powers of Retailing” ranking that measures global retailers by their turnover and presence in foreign markets. The list that tracks 250 of the world’s largest companies across food, grocery, apparel, household goods, and footwear retail also captures evolving consumer trends.
American retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores, Costco Wholesale, and The Kroger top Deloitte’s “Global Powers of Retailing 2017” ranking by turnover, followed by Japanese and German companies. In all, revenue for the top 250 retailers studied by Deloitte totaled over $4.3 trillion in financial year 2015. The findings of the report were released late last month.
But organised retailers, who form only 10% of India’s $600 billion retail industry, are still only catching up.
While India’s bulging population and demographics – the country has one of the youngest populations globally – make it an attractive market, the country’s spending power is still low, making it hard to generate sizable revenue fast enough.
“The number of people who shop in India and the amount they shop is high, but not in relative terms,
said Anil Talreja, partner, Deloitte India. “If you compare that amount to the earning capacity and standard of living of consumers in others western countries in absolute terms, India is still low.”
India is still a lower-middle-income country going by the World Bank’s definition. In 2016, its GDP per capita was estimated at $6,700, while that of China’s was $15,400 and the US’ $57,300.
Talreja explains that if a household spends Rs 10,000, approximately $150, during a shopping spree, it is considered very high here. However, in dollar terms, it is still low. India, he said, is still a value market where the number of products sold does not translate to high-value earnings.
The country is also a relatively new player in modern or organised retail. A bulk of India’s retail trade still happens through neighbourhood grocery stores or local mom & pop shops.
So, Indian retail companies, which are mostly two-to-three decades old at the most, are still focusing on servicing the domestic market. That’s also because India’s economic growth surged only post-1991, making its companies late starters.
Most western markets have highly mature retail industries, with players such as Kroger of the US dating back to 1833. Some of these companies have a sprawling global presence. The world’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart, which reported a turnover of $482 billion in 2016, has been in business in the US since 1962 and in the overseas market since the 1990s.
In comparison, one of India’s most popular departmental store chains, Shoppers Stop, first opened in Mumbai in 1991, and the Kishore Biyani-owned Big Bazaar was launched in 2001.

Squid token dropped to nearly $0 after peaking at $2.8K for the day!
The cryptocurrency SQUID, which was inspired by the Squid Game series, was revealed to be a scam. Due to a rise in the number of investors, the cryptocurrency soared from $38 to more than $2,800 in a matter of hours before plummeting to zero in a short amount of time. According to Engadget, the developers of SQUID vanished with $3.38 million. This article will tell you about the case of the SQUID scam and the general rules of how not to fall into a trap.
On October 20, SQUID announced a game in which SQUID tokens will be the game money, capitalizing on the enduring popularity of the Netflix series. The coin will be required as a charge to play the game. A portion of the money (10%) will go to the organizers, while the other 90% will go to the prize fund to reward the winner. Moreover, the cryptocurrency’s launching has nothing to do with the streaming platform. According to the fake cryptocurrency’s marketers, the game’s release date has been set for November, and the winners will be rewarded with SQUID tokens.
At the same time, the SQUID cryptocurrency’s circulation is subject to many major constraints. CoinMarketCap, a cryptocurrency exchange, has issued a statement on its Squid quotes page, stating that it has received multiple complaints from owners over the impossibility to sell this coin on the decentralized Pancake Swap exchange. The specific causes for the issues are unknown, but according to knowledge on future Squid Game online tournament rules, the event organizers have included procedures that significantly limit the free circulation of Squid coins.
From 2k to 0
Then, SQUID lost 100% of its value when its developers were able to withdraw $2.1 million in assets from those who purchased this fake digital coin. According to Gizmodo, the site where the tokens were sold has been withdrawn. According to CoinMarketCap, the cryptocurrency reached a high of $2861 before falling to $0. Simultaneously, Squid holders were unable to sell their currency.
In conclusion, the SquidGame.cash website, which was established a few weeks before the cryptocurrency scam’s introduction, was riddled with spelling and grammatical mistakes. The site was closed when the founders vanished, and the Twitter account was identified as suspicious. The cryptocurrency website CoinMarketCap alerted potential purchasers about probable fraud, advising them to exercise due diligence and prudence while trading, according to The Guardian. As one anonymous investor reports, he lost $5,000 in SQUID.
We will look at the primary indicators of scams and the steps you may take to avoid falling into scammers projects below:
- Advertising from dark sources with a questionable reputation.
- We know nothing about founders’ personalities.
- There is no clarification regarding what the product is behind the project.
It is worth emphasizing that, despite the nascent nature of the crypto industry, particularly when it comes to startups, this field is rather profitable. Finally, if major corporations have already invested in it, the corporate attorneys have most likely examined the project and determined it to be trustworthy.

Ola raises $104 million in funds
Cab aggregator Ola has raised $104 million (Rs. 670 crore) in funding from Falcon Edge and Ratan Tata's RNT Capital Advisers. According to Ola's official filings with the Registrar of Companies, Falcon Edge contributed Rs. 402 crore, while RNT investments put in Rs. 267.9 crore. Ola's current value could not be ascertained but media reports pegged it at $3.5 billion in Feb'17.
Ola is an online cab booking service based out of Mumbai and one of the fastest growing cab hailing firms in India. It was founded on 3rd December 2010 by Ankit Bhati and Bhavish Aggarwal; the latter is also its current CEO. Ola provides customers with an array of cab options like Mini, Prime and Luxury and with different modes of payment.
On 21st April 2011, Ola received $3,30,000 in the initial round of funding. The company further amassed $5 million from Tiger Global Management in Series A funding. In Series B funding, Matrix Partners and Tiger Global invested another $20 million in the company. Steadview Capital and Sequoia Capital gave it $41.5 million in funds in July 2014.
In a $200 million deal, Ola acquired TaxiForSure in a cash and equity arrangement. This acquisition added at least 15,000 vehicles to Ola's already staggering fleet of 100,000 vehicles. After the merger, TaxiForSure and Ola continued to function as separate entities. This move was seen as giving tough competition to bigger players such as Meru Cabs and Uber.
Ola got $400 million in its Series E round of funding, led by DST Global along with GIC, Falcon Edge Capital and others. $100 million of this funding has been earmarked towards growth and expansion of its recently acquired TaxiForSure. This investment will help Ola expand deeper into smaller cities and in 200 cities by the end of 2015.
Marking his 10th investment in the year, Ratan Tata has now invested in the online taxi booking service Ola. Tata has taken stakes in his individual capacity and the nitty gritty of the deal has not yet been disclosed. Ola was thrilled to be associated with Tata, whose mentorship and validation has made a name of its own in the business world.
Ola has raised $500 million in funding and is now valued at $5 billion. Ola said that it had sealed its Series F funding round with investment from Didi Kuaidi, China's largest cab service and existing Tiger Global, SoftBank and DST Global as well. Ola declared a 30-fold growth in the past year with almost a million booking requests every day.
India's Ola is gearing up to raise funds at a critically reduced valuation of approximately $3 billion. Accepting investments at a lowered valuation known as down-round is carried out by companies which need urgent funds to support operation. Down round can lower the morale of previous investors. Ola will be the first unicorn to do so at 40% lower valuation than present $5 billion.
Ola has raised Rs. 1,675cr in fresh funding from Japanese telecom giant SoftBank Corp in its down round, which was closed last December. Ola, which commands 65% of the market share vs Uber, is reportedly raising another $100mn from Ratan Tata's RNT Capital and Falcon Edge, which could push up its valuation to $3.5bn. Plans to introduce electric vehicles will likely boost its prospects.
According to RedSeer Management Consulting, Ola reported a four-fold increase in the number of rides in 2016 as compared to the previous year. The company witnessed 6mn rides per week on an average during September-December 2016. Its major sources of revenue are Micro and Mini.

Investors sold off shares of Dollar General (NYSE:DG) by over 7 percent on Friday as the company’s CEO Rick Dreiling announced that he would retire on May 30.
Investors are concerned that the stellar performance that the company has displayed over the past few years might be in jeopardy as the man at the helm will no longer be running the company. Investors are also concerned that an anticipated deal in which Dollar General would buy rival Family Dollar (NYSE:FDO) has a lower probability of taking place. Carl Icahn—infamous activist investor—bought Family Dollar shares with the intent of finding a buyer for the company, and who better to take over than that company’s largest competitor. If the company is dealing with a CEO succession it is less likely to take on the burden of integrating a large company.
Despite this weakness, and despite these concerns, the sell-off in Dollar General shares could present a buying opportunity.
First there is no doubt that a CEO is integral to the success of a company, and Rick Dreiling has done an excellent job of creating shareholder value. Over the past several years the company has grown its income by over 40 percent, and since it went public in late 2009 the shares are up over 150 percent while the S&P 500 is up just 80 percent. But there is more to the success of a company than its CEO, and it is very difficult to believe that the company is instantly worth 7 percent less because its CEO is retiring.

Honduras has launched its own Bitcoin Valley crypto hub in the tourist city of Santa Lucia.
Already, 60 different cafes and shops have begun to accept bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies for payment. To implement the project, the Blockchain Honduras organization, the Coincaex cryptocurrency exchange from Guatemala, the Technological University of Honduras and the municipality of Santa Lucia worked.
“The Santa Lucia community will learn how to work with cryptocurrencies, manage digital assets and use them for various businesses. This will make the region attractive for cryptotourism”, ? says Ruben Carbajal Velazquez, professor at the Goduras University of Technology.
Retailers in Santa Lucia will be able to instantly convert bitcoins into local currency and receive it in their account, local authorities promise. This will reduce the risks of cryptocurrency volatility.
At the same time, on the other side of the globe, Hong Kong University announced the construction of a MetaHKUST campus in the metaverse.
Trial classes for the new learning model will begin on September 1. The initiative is aimed at organizing joint education of students from different cities in a single virtual space. This is reported by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) website.
To create a unified virtual environment, the university is equipping its Guangzhou and Hong Kong campuses with sensors, cameras and visualization tools to create virtual twins of offline campuses. Once the ecosystem is established, both institutions will be able to create content in the form of avatars, NFTs, or virtual art objects.

The CEO of WAVES, a global public blockchain platform which gives the opportunity to create custom tokens, Alexander Ivanov has made a telegram announcement following a poll, where the WAVES community has said it wants “Waves DEX to be launched as a separate project, full scale decentralized crypto exchange, with user experience and usability close to centralized exchanges?” 76% of the community has voted in favour of the proposition.
"The people have spoken! We will biuld a separate DEX based on our Waves DEX. Most probably it will be focusing on equity tokens."
Currently, Waves exchange platform combines the possibilities of both the centralized and decentralized systems, allowing users to trade such crypto currencies as bitcoin (Bitcoin) , ethereum (ETH/USD) , litecoin (LTC/USD) , ZCash (ZEC/USD) and others against fiat currencies such as USD, EURO, and TRY.
"Trading is as fast as on a centralised exchange, but users retain complete control over their funds at all times. Trading fees on the DEX are low and fixed."
Thats according to the announcement which is published on the webpage of the exchange which is already available.
According to Coinmarketcap WAVES has risen by around 17% right after the announcement and is now occupies around 40th position having jumped a couple of places in the rating.
Not long ago Huobi listed WAVES on their exchange as Insider.Pro reported earlier. WAVES is already listed on the top-3 largest crypto exchanges including Huobi.
Earlier in June, ahead of the start of 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, waves released 100,000 MutCoin (MTN) tokens. Half of those will be given to platform’s users with the rest going to the Russian football team. Waves will buy out the tokens after the 2018 FIFA World Cup ends. The maximum prize fund could reach as much as $2,5 million depending on how well Russia does in the competition.

With the ban on CamScanner in India, Kaagaz Scanner is seeking to fill the hole with its good doc scanning and storage app
Developed by Sorted AI, Kaagaz Scanner is wanting so as to add regional language help and computerized doc sorting within the close to future
The Delhi-based firm launched the app two weeks earlier than India’s ban on Chinese language apps and has acquired 400Ok+ customers until date
India’s ban on 59 Chinese language apps has opened up the Indian market for a lot of native startups, who’ve the potential to exchange these banned apps. With CamScanner, one of the outstanding productiveness apps out there, additionally banned, Indians are on the lookout for replacements. Whereas Microsoft Workplace Lens, Adobe Scan and different apps can be found, the present wave of adoption for Indian merchandise has introduced the highlight on Kaagaz Scanner.
Launched about two weeks earlier than the ban, Kaagaz Scanner is an app constructed by Sorted AI, which is an year-old file administration platform. Kaagaz’s launch was pushed by the corporate’s realisation that scanning is the place the doc storage course of begins for thousands and thousands of Indian customers. Founder Snehanshu Gandhi stated that Indian customers scan paperwork in an app, they usually additionally need to use the app to peruse the doc storage answer.
“They want to go back and refer to that scanned Aadhaar copy in the app, and even use it to share with someone. So it is also a storage solution for them and that is where we felt the need for a scanning app,” stated Snehanshu Gandhi.
In the intervening time, Kaagaz Scanner is an unbiased product being developed by the workforce and isn’t linked to the Sorted AI file administration platform. That’s as a result of the utility of scanning paperwork has a wider attraction than file administration. Nonetheless, in the long term, Gandhi envisions the merging of Sorted AI and Kaagaz to supply customers a extra holistic expertise from scanning to doc administration. This may even differentiate Kaagaz Scanner as a product within the crowded doc scanning market.
Until now, Kaagaz Scanner has downloaded over 400Ok instances and a big a part of this traction solely occurred after the ban, when individuals have been on the lookout for a substitute for CamScanner. Kaagaz Scanner is at present able to performing the whole scanning course of however has an extended solution to go, when it comes to options which are being supplied by Adobe Scan, Microsoft Workplace Lens and different Indian apps similar to Zoho Scanner. However CamScanner was by far probably the most used app on this regard and claimed to have been put in on over 380 Mn units with a presence in over 200 nations.
Although the present nationalist sentiment has given the corporate an preliminary bounce in traction, the eventual success will probably be decided by person retention over the following few months. Gandhi stated Kaagaz Scanner has been frantically engaged on including new options primarily based on the fixed person suggestions on social media and Play Retailer. It’s at present within the strategy of including batch scanning, new additions to picture enhancement filters, and cloud sign-in choice for seamless backups and restoration of scanned paperwork. However the greatest growth that Gandhi is banking on is the automated sorting of paperwork utilizing AI.
“We have been building Sorted AI for over a year now, and its AI engine is currently intelligent enough to understand the document type and then categorise it under relevant categories or folders. We want to bring this functionality to Kaagaz Scanner,” stated Gandhi.
For instance, if a person scans an insurance coverage doc, the AI engine will have the ability to establish it because the insurance coverage for a specific automobile quantity after which kind it beneath the vehicle-related paperwork or insurance coverage folder within the app.
The automated sorting may even assist the search performance as customers can lookup explicit phrases or phrases throughout the scanned or saved paperwork, much like looking out on Google Drive or Gmail search. “Even if the user forgets the folder or file name, she will be able to search a keyword and fetch that information from inside the document.”
After all, enabling such helpful options comes with the caveat that the corporate should save a duplicate of the doc on their servers. Gandhi stated it will fully be primarily based on person consent. He additionally added that the prevailing Kaagaz Scanner app works offline with none want to hook up with the web. Plus, the info is saved on the system and isn’t despatched to servers. Even when the person would select to make use of the AI engine, the corporate claims to have encrypted the info at a number of ranges and makes use of India-based Amazon Internet Companies (AWS) servers for Sorted AI.
Based mostly in Delhi NCR, Sorted AI was based in July 2019 by Gandhi, Gaurav Shrishrimal, and Tamanjit Bindra. The corporate was a part of Axilor Ventures’ accelerator programme between November 2019 to February 2020 and had raised a small quantity of funding as a part of the accelerator. However apart from this, Sorted AI is totally bootstrapped and has one full time worker along with a few freelance builders who’ve been just lately introduced on board to fulfill the present growth load.
By way of monetisation, the corporate is concepts like charging individuals for limitless cupboard space or a premium subscription mannequin however, in accordance with Gandhi, the present focus is on buying customers and constructing a product that individuals love. To seize a bigger Indian viewers, the corporate can be the opportunity of creating regional language compatibility within the scanning performance.
“Even though millions of Indian users are using scanning apps, there’s still a lot of people in India who don’t know that scanning can be done through an app. Our focus currently is to build a product that a larger Indian audience can start using,” stated Gandhi.

The 31st annual Fort Myers, Fla. RV Show jumped to a brisk start Thursday at Lee Civic Center, for a four-day run.
Count on seeing new RVs of all styles, brands and price ranges, including folding campers, gas and diesel motorhomes, travel trailers, toy haulers, fifth wheels, park models and van campers, news-press.com reports.
Thirteen dealers from the Florida RV Trade Association-Region One are participating.
The supporting cast: Nearly 100 vendors displaying equipment, accessories and services, such as new towing systems, RV insurance, specialized camping equipment and high-tech makeovers for older RVs.
Prices range from folding camper trailers —aka pop-ups — for less than $20,000 to motorhomes in the neighborhood of $1 million.
Dealers and show-goers alike say that while below-$2-a-gallon gasoline is welcome, it doesn’t significantly affect whether people who want to buy RVs actually do.
And, “It doesn’t influence greatly whether we take off or stay here. It’s one of the costs we plan for,” said Kate Bariletti.
She and wife Jan Janata are full-time RVers, wintering in North Fort Myers with dog Charlie in their 2008 31-foot Monaco motorhome. They came to the show to get ideas for replacing some of its furnishings.
The couple does the numbers: If staying overnight in a motel costs a lot less than using the 10 mpg motorhome, they’ll take their car and book a room, Janatta said.

Finally an explanation for Big Tech's rip-roaring rally: Japanese billionaire Masa Son and his hankering for stock options.
Masayoshi Son, at one time considered to be the Warren Buffett of Japan, has pretty much gone full Robinhood trader.
As it turns out, Son’s conglomerate, SoftBank Group Corp., may be behind the rip-roaring ride in large-cap U.S. technology stocks in recent weeks that lifted the broader market and, in effect, made investors nearly forget the Covid-19 crisis for a moment. The “Nasdaq whale,” the Financial Times calls him, referring to a monstrous options trade that the paper’s unidentified sources say was made by SoftBank. Here’s how the Wall Street Journal describes the curious move:
Investors watching the vertigo-inducing rise — and Thursday’s fall — of technology stocks are buzzing about a single trade, a giant but shadowy bet on Silicon Valley big enough to pull the market up with it. The investor behind that trade, according to people familiar with the matter, is Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp., which bought options tied to around $50 billion worth of individual tech stocks.
It’s a lot to take in. We’re talking about a period during which Apple Inc. became a $2 trillion company; Amazon.com Inc. added more to its market value in a month than it did in all of last year; and Telsa Inc. founder Elon Musk vaulted past Buffett in the ranking of the world’s wealthiest people. While all the tech giants have benefited in some way from societal shifts brought on by the pandemic — a surge in demand for everything from online shopping and streaming-video, to work-from-home software solutions — market observers have struggled to explain exactly why their share prices took an extra leg up over the summer. Bloomberg Opinion’s Nir Kaissar wrote this week about the conundrum that this has created for money managers: whether to stick with a responsibly diversified portfolio that’s destined to underperform, or chase the fad.
Big and Bigger Tech
This year's tech rally has spawned $1 trillion and $2 trillion companies
It’s unusual for options-buying tied to individual stocks to be so explosive that it could move markets in this way, but that’s now the prevailing theory. Equity derivatives have become a favorite trading toy for presumably bored retail investors — those who don’t manage money professionally — who have taken a liking to platforms such as Robinhood while being shut in during the Covid-19 crisis. It’s hard to know Son’s specific motivations for joining that camp, but it’s certainly not boredom.
Investors have gone back and forth on whether Son, 63, is a true visionary or more of a gambler. He once spoke of a 300-year plan for SoftBank, but it soon became evident that he needed to concentrate on the present. Fraught investments in U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Corp. and office-rental company WeWork Cos. bruised his reputation. And after writing down the values of investments in WeWork and Uber Technologies Inc., SoftBank suffered a loss for the Japanese record books. Son was finally able to sell Sprint to T-Mobile US Inc. this year, ironically leaving the Japanese businessman as the biggest beneficiary of a deal pitched to regulators on American patriotism. As SoftBank laid plans to dump more than $40 billion of assets to shore up its balance sheet, Son was apparently left with funds to spend.
SoftBank, best known for its Vision Fund, also said last month that it will no longer report operating income. My Opinion colleague Tim Culpan wrote that the change makes sense given that SoftBank hasn’t “operated” anything for a long time; it functions more as a stock picker, investing in startups and publicly traded companies.
A bet on Big Tech is a risky one, though. Some have compared the industry’s outsize gains to the dot-com bubble that famously burst 20 years ago. Fellow Opinion columnist John Authers got it right when he wrote Friday: “If there is a bubble in the biggest tech companies, it is arguably in their profits, and how they have been allowed to build up monopolistic market power, rather than in their valuations.” A monopoly bubble is a lot harder to pop, but Democrats are trying. What stands in their way are 100-year-old antitrust laws that don’t make a single mention of the word at the root of Big Tech’s power and overreach — its exclusive hold on reams and reams of valuable data.
Still, the bubble began to seep this week, and news of Son’s almost single-handed influence won’t help matters. But the only thing that will truly rein in Big Tech is an administration that wants to.

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 26: Sources have sounded the alarm about the recent ploy of the money launderers who have been under pressure to purchase invoices and bills from existing companies for a fee to justify their purchases and income in general, reports Al-Qabas daily.
The same sources added that renowned companies and individuals have provided invoices for the suspects for infl ating their assets, in exchange of KD 300 for each invoice of KD 20,000; KD 500 for invoices of KD 50,000 and KD 1,500 for KD 100,000.
They noted that these bills are officially issued, signed and sealed by the relevant authority to prove that the suspects made the purchase, contrary to the reality.
Sources indicated that investigation is underway for gangs involved in assisting those accused of money laundering, and the judicial authorities will be notified upon their arrest in order to cancel the invoices, which the suspects are attempting to procure to put legal cover for any suspected activity of money laundering and inflated assets.
The sources concluded “there are those who search for invoices related to the purchase of real estate. This is considered a useless attempt, because such issues receive great attention, given that they do not only tarnish the reputation of the individual, but also of the nation’s economy.
Therefore, the harm falls on everyone, and the matter must be dealt with at all cost”. They reiterated “we’ll not tolerate those attempting to outmaneuver the law”.

New York–Despite the New York City heatwave, which was stealthily creeping into the Javits Center, the mood at the JA New York New Designer Gallery was festive Monday as the Mort Abelson award was announced.
Abelson was the former trade show director of the JA International Jewelry Shows. In 1977 he launched the inaugural New Designer Gallery, which promoted brands that grew to find huge success, including David Yurman, Lagos, Charles Krypell and Penny Preville.
In honor of Abelson’s championing of designers, the award is presented annually to one designer from the gallery.
This year, 20 retailers and editors voted and the winner was … Alexis Kletjian.
“This is the first time I’ve seen my whole collection together,” Kletjian told National Jeweler. “I didn’t realize how ready I was for the show until I had a little push. I feel honored.”
The Pennsylvania-based designer launched her fine jewelry collection in 2011. The daughter of a goldsmith, she originally pursued a career in fashion design, but returned to her jewelry roots after having children.
“I’m very grateful to be included in (the new designer) section along with all of the other designers,” said Kletjian. “The energy is amazing and I was really happy to see so many of my jewelry friends whom I’ve gotten to know over the years. The JA family has been incredibly nice to me and I’m very grateful to Liz because she’s the reason I did the show.”
Kletjian was referring to Liz Kantner, who organized the group of new designers. Kantner took over after the industry lost Cindy Edelstein earlier this year. At last year’s JA New York show, Edelstein said giving the Mort Abelson Award was her favorite five minutes of the year.
Kanter called Edelstein her mentor as she presented the award, and said that “Every single designer who has been curated here is truly amazing. I can’t say enough good things about each and every one of them, their unique aesthetics and the unique things they bring to this industry.”

KT&G has joined the payment integration cooperative, an initiative to help reduce the burden of raw material costs on small-sized and medium-sized partner companies.
Before the system became legally established, KT&G already stipulated in purchase contracts that in the event of an increase in raw material prices compared to the contract period, it could proactively adjust the purchase contract amount to alleviate the burden on partner companies.
To further reduce the burden, KT&G pays for its supplies monthly in cash and provides early payments before holidays. The company is also helping its contracted farmers save money through the dissemination of the “draft reduction device,” a fuel-saving tool for tobacco dryers.
To promote the welfare of agricultural workers, the company has contributed KRW3.66 billion ($2.79 million) in health examination fees and scholarships since 2013.
“The payment integration cooperative will enhance the competitiveness of partner companies, ultimately laying the foundation for a sustainable industrial ecosystem,” a KT&G representative said. “We will continue to expand the scope of social responsibility across the entire value chain in the future.”

NEW YORK, July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In recent years, as China's economic development has entered a new normal, agricultural machinery industry also sees the end of a golden decade (2004-2013) of rapid growth and expands at a medium-high growth rate. In 2015, Chinese agricultural machinery enterprises with annual prime operating revenue of RMB20 million and more registered combined revenue of RMB428.37 billion, edging up 2.5% from a year ago, at the weakest pace over the past ten years. Features are presented as follows:
1) Agricultural machinery subsidies decline gradually. Funding for agricultural machinery subsidies and the subsidies for each set of agricultural machinery dropped and the scope of subsidies narrowed in 2015 and 2016.
2.) The level of agricultural mechanization improves. The total power of agricultural machinery was1.1 billion kilowatts in 2015 and is expected to hit 1.2 billion kilowatts in 2020. The overall level of mechanization in crop plowing, sowing, and harvesting came to 63% in 2015 and will touch 70% in 2020.
3) Standards for agricultural machinery emission are upgraded. The Ministry of Environmental Protection announced the implementation of Limits and Measurement Methods for Exhaust Pollutants from Diesel Engines of Non-road Mobile Machinery (CHINA III, IV) in January 2016, requiring that, from December 1st, 2016, all domestically-manufactured, imported and sold agricultural machinery shall not be equipped with the diesel engines that fail to conform to the Standard (III).
4) Demand for agricultural machinery changes. With evolution of farming practices from traditional ones to subsoiling and deep ploughing and of operator from individual household to family farm and agricultural machinery cooperative, the demand for large andhigh-power agricultural machinery has kept growing. In 2015, China experienced declines in both output and output value of tractors but saw over 30% increase in 100HP-above large tractors.
5) Import and export of agricultural machinery both fall. China imported USD2.28 billion and exported USD10.17 billion worth of agricultural machinery in 2015, down 8.4% and 3.8%, respectively, over the previous year.
6) "Agricultural Machinery + Internet" starts to prevail. In 2015, a group of e-commerce firms including Taobao and JD began pushing forward online agricultural machinery sales and services with agricultural machinery enterprises.
With transformation and upgrading of the Chinese agricultural machinery market, domestic agricultural machinery enterprises have actively enhanced their corporate competitiveness via resource consolidation, merger & reorganization, and independent innovation.
Foton Lovol International Heavy Industry Co., Ltd.: The company has accelerated its global strategy in recent years, taking full control of Arbos and MaterMacc in 2014, further integrating Lovol European Technical Center and factories of Arbos and MaterMacc to set up LovolArbos Group Spa in September 2015 and acquiring Italian GOLDONI, a well-known European manufacturer of orchard tractors, in the following December.
Changzhou Dongfeng Agricultural Machinery Group Co., Ltd.: With tractors as its primary business, the company has been actively in exploring combine-harvester and rice transplanter markets. The company and Xinghua Economic Development Zone entered into an agreement on investment in XinghuaDongfeng Agricultural Machinery Industrial Park which will be primarily engaged in manufacturing of agricultural equipment like grain combine harvesters with Phase I starting construction in July 2016 and going into trial production in October 2017.
Xingguang Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd.: In 2015, the company sold 7,796 combine harvesters, its leading products, and recorded revenue of RMB559 million, 95.5% of the company's total. To perfect product system, the company bought a 56.66% stake in Jiangsu Zhenggong Cotton-picker Co., Ltd. and a 51% stake in Hubei Yulong Machinery Co., Ltd. in March 2016.

Revver shares $1 million with videographers
Video-sharing company splits revenue with video creators pays out $1 million over the past year.
Revver, a video-sharing site trudging along in YouTube's shadow, announced Wednesday that the company paid $1 million to videographers over the past year.
Los Angeles-based Revver, among the first Web sites to share advertising revenue with video creators, paid the money to 25,000 people, the company said in a press release.
Because Revver splits ad money with creators, 50-50, Nick Gonzalez at TechCrunchfigured that the company makes around $2 million to $2.5 million from advertisers.
He also suggested that the figure could be lower if Revver pays more to high-end video makers.

There are always apps that will notify you that something is happening on multiple devices, even when you’re just using one at the time. But soon Skype will not be on that list. Skype has announced a new feature for their app they call “active endpoint” which will contain chat notifications to only the device you’re currently using, rather than every device you have that has Skype installed. So if you’re on your phone, your tablet and computer will not show notifications. From Skype’s blog:
“If you are signed in to Skype on multiple devices (a laptop, tablet and a smartphone) and you are sending chat messages to a group of friends from your tablet. Skype will only send new message notifications to your tablet and not to any of your other devices. All of your other devices will remain blissfully silent. You can continue to focus on the most important thing, your conversations, without being disturbed by the bleeping and buzzing from all of your other devices.”
Skype also says that if you stop actively using the app, all your devices will receive chat notifications again. Chat history will also continue to sync between devices, so you don’t have to worry about some chats only being on certain devices. Calls are unaffected by the new notification system, so if you get a call it will ring on all your devices.
Skype says the new feature is going to roll out to all users over the next few weeks, as long as they are using the current version of the app. Does this update help reduce notification fatigue for you?

VERNON HILLS – Hawthorn, a super-regional shopping center in Vernon Hills, will celebrate its 50th anniversary Sept. 9.
The shopping center was built in 1972 and first opened its doors in September 1973 with 15 specialty shops as well as Marshall Field & Co., Sears and Lord & Taylor as the center’s three anchors.
Since then, Hawthorn has changed hands twice – the first time in 2002 and the second time in 2015 when it was bought by Centennial, a real estate investment firm with a national portfolio of shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations.
Throughout the years, Hawthorn has undergone a series of major renovations, including a transformative redevelopment project that Centennial kicked off in 2019 and significantly expanded late last year.
“For 50 years, Hawthorn has been an important community gathering place for the people who live and work in Vernon Hills and the surrounding areas,” center general manager Jeff Rutzen said in a news release. “With the center’s anniversary on the horizon, many people have told us that they have lifelong memories that include spending time with friends and family at this shopping center.”
What began as a small shopping center with a handful of retailers, no food court and no theater has become a vibrant day-to-night destination for the more than 4 million annual visitors who enjoy the center’s amenities and expansive retail, dining and entertainment. Centennial is focused on transforming Hawthorn into a self-sustaining campus where people can live, work and play.
As it approaches its 50-year anniversary, Hawthorn now is a two-story, super-regional shopping center sporting a brand-new 311-unit luxury apartment development called The Domaine as well as a growing roster of retailers, restaurants, entertainment options and exterior event space.
To celebrate Hawthorn’s 50-year anniversary, the center will host a fun-filled, family-friendly event from noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 9 with live music continuing until 5 p.m. and food truck sales continuing until 7 p.m. At the start of the event, attendees will be asked to gather at the outer northeast parking lot (near the AMC Theatres) and then walk as a group toward Main Street and the center’s brand-new Hawthorn Row. Along the way, guests will enjoy a series of throwback images submitted by area residents, a depiction of the center’s timeline and mannequins dressed in the most popular fashion trends from the 1970s forward.
Leading up to the event, guests are invited to submit their favorite throwback photo of the shopping center that can be displayed during the event for a chance to win a $500 shopping spree. Photos must be submitted by Sept. 1 to firstname.lastname@example.org. The winner will be contacted via email on or about Sept. 12.
During the Sept. 9 event, children and their families will enjoy a meet-and-greet with popular costumed characters, an inflatable slide, face painting and a photo booth. A confetti cannon and food trucks, as well as a 1 p.m. champagne toast (21 and older) courtesy of Maggiano’s, will add to the festive nature. From noon to 5 p.m., live music by the Ring of Music band will feature crowd-pleasing hits from the 1970s to present. Hawthorn 50-year swag bags will be given to the first 100 registered guests (a $100 retail value, two per family, while supplies last). Space is limited and tickets are required to attend the event. Tickets are $5 for an adult. Children 12 and younger are free. To buy tickets, visit https://bit.ly/3CpBwcf.
