Turkish fruit juice exports are expected to rise to USD 1 billion in 2022 as the country continues its rapid productive export market growth. This expected increase would signify a yearly expansion of over 100%, up from 25% the previous year, in correlation with the country's increased production and the rising global demand. The transcontinental nation now boasts more than 45 fruit juice factories and ships to over 200 markets.
Over the past five years, Turkey's global market share has increased significantly, nearing 10%. The country's ascension in the juice industry is knocking on the heels of leading suppliers such as Spain, Germany, and the US. Turkey was ranked 17th in 2017 and could become a top 10 global fruit juice supplier in 2022 due to the country's advances in technical knowledge, engineering, technology, and machinery. The nation's investment in research and development has also enhanced the country's fruit juice production and the quality of Turkey's juice varieties.
The country's most widely produced fruit juice varieties are apple, pomegranate, and orange juice. All three varieties have witnessed significant growth this year. Apple juice concentrate remains the leading fruit juice export from Turkey, accounting for USD 83 million during the first 9 months of 2022, an increase of 13% from last year. According to early projections, apple juice exports from the country could expand by another 11% in 2023.
Despite orange juice accounting for only 7% of the country's production, global demand is growing as the push for health consciousness continues to spread amongst consumers. Major international suppliers such as the US have also suffered production setbacks, presenting Turkey with an opportunity to gain more market share. Turkish orange juice production levels are forecast to be higher this year, rising to 10,000 mt, a 5% y/y increase. Consequently, exports are forecast to reach 3,250 mt in 2022, increasing by about 3%. Turkey also continues to be a leading exporter of pomegranate juice and shipments of the beverage are expected to show an upward trend this year owing to surging global demand.
The leading destinations for the country's fruit juice this year have been the US, the Netherlands, the UK, and Canada, with significant growth expected in Italy and China. According to industry analysts, this upward trend in Turkish fruit juice exports is expected to continue for the next four years. Local consumption levels remain significantly lower than the volumes produced yearly, aiding the country's aim to capitalise on rising global demand.

Varun Berry, MD, Britannia, said, “While GST is a huge long-term positive development, there are bound to be trade disruptions. Procedural details have to be sorted out on a priority basis across stakeholders before September 1, with the festive quarter being earlier this year.” Already, trade channels are destocking to avoid tax payout disparity ahead of the GST rollout.
Sunil Duggal, chief executive, Dabur, said, “Last year, the festive season was impacted by demonetisation. We hope to get GST issues streamlined by August-end and mitigate its impact. We may choose to reduce inventory pipelines even if it means taking a sales hit in June.”
The festive season starts in the fourth week of September this year. The wholesale distribution channel — which contributes up to half of the revenue of FMCG companies — is under pressure. Television and home appliance makers are equally worried about GST impacting festive sales, contemplating ways to soften the expected price hike and planning larger consumer promotions.
“The most obvious way to mitigate poor sentiment is to opt for smaller hikes —instead of straightaway passing on the full price increase — to cushion demand ahead of the festive season,” said CM Singh, chief operating officer, Videocon. A two-phased price hike would serve to alleviate any immediate 4-5 percent increase and also helping absorb part of the price increase if demand does not revive by August, so the festive season remains insulated, said two senior industry executives.
Kamal Nandi, business head, Godrej Appliances, said all brands will go big on promotions and offers this festive season to offset losses from already weakening sales, which may stay this way till June. “The ray of hope is expectation of a normal monsoon, which will boost rural demand. Also, some arrears of the Seventh Pay Commission are likely to come in, helping push urban demand and upgrade.”
Prices of televisions, refrigerators and air-conditioners are set to go up by 4-5 percent from July, with the GST Council proposing the 28 percent bracket for consumer electronics and durables, compared to the current tax rate of 23-24 percent. Mass consumption products like toothpaste, soaps and hair oil have been taxed at 18 percent, which is significantly lower than the earlier 22-24 per cent. Others such as detergents, shampoo, soft drinks, liquid soaps are in the tax slab of 28 per cent.

Wix introduces a new integration called Google Ads with Wix, empowering Wix users to conveniently generate Google Ads campaigns right within the Wix platform.
This innovative feature enables Wix users to streamline their ad creation process and effortlessly attract traffic to their websites through Google Ads. As a result, users can significantly enhance their conversions and achieve greater success online.
Wix users can now construct their Google Ads campaign with full control over customizing ad settings, crafting engaging ad content, and establishing a suitable campaign budget.
This seamless campaign creation process within the Wix platform ensures efficiency and automatically facilitates the monitoring of traffic, leads, and revenue generated from the campaign.
“We are always working on offering more tools to provide Wix users with a holistic experience to run their business, including all of their marketing needs,” said Kobi Gamliel, Head of User Marketing at Wix.
“This can now be provided by our new partnership with Google Ads, helping companies and entrepreneurs market their website and business as part of the Wix buyflow.”
Furthermore, users can also benefit from Google Ads’ content and keyword theme suggestions, which assists in creating compelling ads that effectively capture the attention of individuals actively seeking the products or services being offered through the website.
Once Wix users establish their campaign budget, the entire campaign is intelligently optimized based on the keyword themes they specify.
This ensures that their budget is strategically allocated towards targeting potential customers actively searching for products or services that align with the store owner’s business, thereby maximizing business prospects.
Additionally, users enjoy the advantage of precise ad conversion tracking seamlessly integrated into their website, eliminating the need for a manual data flow setup.
Detailed reports containing campaign data and performance metrics are provided to users, accompanied by valuable suggestions for optimizing future campaigns to achieve even better results.
“After integrating Google’s Workspace for productivity, Search Console for discovery, and Google Business Profile for location, our mutual customers were missing a seamless online marketing solution,” said Yuval Dvir, Global Director of Online Partnerships at Google.
“Traditionally, creating a campaign can be time-consuming, and complex. By making this process seamless and fast, users can efficiently build campaigns to generate traffic through search, which is a key tool to increase brand awareness and profitability.
“This integration allows users to save time and better optimize their marketing efforts, all from within Wix, so they can get in front of the right audience and continue to grow their business.”
Wix Keeps Building Tools for Merchants
This new integration is just one of many new platform enhancements Wix has rolled out this year. Earlier this month, Wix partnered with Shippo to launch Wix Shipping, a new platform to integrate a shipping solution for ecommerce merchants.
And last month, Wix launched a new integration with Meta to enable merchants to efficiently manage all customer communication and interactions from a single inbox for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger.
The new Google Ads with Wix solution will allow small business premium users to raise their brand awareness and drive traffic to their site.

“The next few weeks will be crucial,” said Diess of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (F.A.S.) in view of the corona-related economic downturn. “Therefore, no fundamental discussions, but focus on the economy and pace. Otherwise, we will run out of time.”
This emphasized that the premium should not only apply to electric cars: “We need the premium regardless of the type of drive, for the entire product range.” When it comes to electric cars, VW is already at the capacity limit, and some models are already sold out. Even modern combustion engines could reduce CO2 emissions by 30 percent compared to the existing fleet. The premium is not specifically about the car industry, but about the economy as a whole. “If you ask how you can best boost the economy, you end up in the automobile very quickly in Germany,” said the CEO.
In return, as an incentive to buy environmentally friendly vehicles, Diess demanded a radical conversion of vehicle and mineral oil taxes to emissions of climate-damaging emissions and a general increase in the CO2 price. Instead of the planned entry rate of 25 euros, it should better be 50 euros, the manager explained. This is “absolutely manageable for ordinary people,” said Diess, who has already geared his corporate strategy strongly to electric drives.
In view of the tougher CO2 emissions targets planned by the EU up to 2030, Diess was skeptical in conversation with the newspaper. “A further tightening still needs to be discussed,” he said. As a result of the long-term switch from the combustion engine to the electric motor, numerous jobs in Germany have already been lost. “If we accelerate this process further, it means even more change in less time, we have to be clear about that,” warned the VW boss.

Ten percent increase in sales in 2022
Hettich generated 1.5 billion euros in fiscal 2022, representing growth of ten percent. This sales growth was fed by both volumes and higher prices. In 2021, the company had even grown by 26 percent. The foreign share was 74 percent. Among foreign markets, the U.S. and India were strong. In China, Hettich had to accept significant declines due to the lockdown policy there and the real estate crisis.
Hettich invested 125 million euros globally in new products, buildings and machinery. Currently, Hettich employs around 8,000 people around the globe, almost 3,800 of them in Germany.
The upturn in demand in the furnishings market, which had begun in the 2nd half of 2020, continued until mid-2022. The topics of beautiful living and furnishing as well as Do-It-Yourself were highly popular with consumers worldwide. Many people were investing in their own four walls. The Hettich Group did its best to work with its customers to provide as many end consumers as possible with new, beautiful furnishing solutions. Hettich supported the trend of DIY projects with its solutions for the Do-It-Yourself sector. The long high in the furniture market was followed in the second half of the year by a noticeable reluctance to buy on the part of end consumers in many countries. High inflation rates in most regions of the world as well as rising electricity and gas costs caused prices for Hettich as a company and for end consumers to soar in 2022. “Goods for daily use, energy and furniture became more expensive, so that end consumers in many regions of the world began to reprioritize their purchasing decisions in 2022,” says Jana Schönfeld, Managing Director of the Hettich Group.
Hettich is also prepared with regard to possible gas bottlenecks. “But we have to accept much higher costs,” explains Sascha Groß, Managing Director of the Hettich Group. Thus, both liquid gas and electrical energy can be used as alternatives to the gas requirement in the manufacturing process. Support is also to be provided by processes for energy saving and recovery, as these are particularly sustainable. “It is very important for us to prepare for a possible gas shortage in order to remain a reliable and transparent partner for our customers even in such challenging times,” confirms Groß. “Of course, we welcome the fact that the German government wants to relieve the burden on companies by putting the brakes on prices.” Whether and in what form Hettich in Germany will be able to take advantage of the resolved electricity and gas price brakes at all is currently not foreseeable. The reason for this lies in the complex design of the price brakes.
“We have used the last few months to network even more closely across locations, to come up with new ideas together, to improve our processes across the board and, above all, to have fun working together,” Schönfeld is pleased to report.
At a first global Hettich learning event called Future Days, colleagues spent three days sharing their knowledge and being inspired by impulses from external experts. “Our colleagues organized a total of 62 online events and numerous face-to-face events at our sites around the world,” says Groß enthusiastically about the new learning format, which focused on strategy topics. In addition, a Germany-wide company party was held with 1,700 colleagues in the Bielefeld locomotive shed. At the end of the year, around 230 colleagues around the world took part in a joint Christmas video, thus ensuring even greater cohesion at Hettich.
Last year, the Hettich Group invested 125 million euros in new products, infrastructure projects, buildings, plants, software for digitalization, but also in capacity expansions. “For example, the construction of our multifunctional production hall in Kirchlengern is progressing. We were able to celebrate the topping-out ceremony at the beginning of February, for example, and are pleased that everything is progressing according to schedule,” informs Groß.
Challenges such as high steel prices as well as energy and freight costs, geopolitical risks and an uncertain gas supply will continue to accompany the company. Likewise, Hettich expects local Corona restrictions and a continued tight supply chain in 2023. “At the same time, we are confident that we will meet these challenges as a strong team. Our colleagues around the world do a great job every year and we will be able to rely on our reliable suppliers and partners also in 2023,” Schönfeld describes the strong cohesion.
“We are not just looking at the next few months, but thinking long-term,” adds Groß. “The various regions of the world in which we are active are developing very differently. Therefore, we will continue to flexibly adapt to the different needs of our customers in different countries and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.” Hettich is looking with confidence at global growth potential and will utilize free production capacities for existing and new customers.

David Rubenstein, co-founder of global investment firm The Carlyle Group, sees two looming concerns for the U.S. economy resolving in the near-term.
The first is trade tensions between the U.S. and China, which Rubenstein characterizes as a “dispute between people that have to live together” rather than an all-out trade war.
“President Trump realizes that tariffs are probably not a great thing for the U.S. economy, and the farm belt is not happy with it because of the inability to export certain products to China,” Rubenstein said in an interview with Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “So there is some unrest in his core constituency. So I do think that he realizes he will be better off – and business people have told him this – to get something done sooner rather than later, and the Chinese want to get something done. So actually it’s going to get done, I think, in the next couple months.”
Rubenstein noted that the marked slowdown in the Chinese economy has put additional pressure on Beijing to come to an agreement. China’s economy grew at a pace of 6.6% in 2018, the slowest rate of increase since 1990. The International Monetary Fund foresees China’s growth decelerating further to 6.2% in 2019 and 2020 as growth in the broader global economy also cools.
“Generally around the world there’s a slowdown in the economy, and the uncertainty with the U.S. is giving a psychological problem to people in the Chinese economy,” Rubenstein said. “They’re not sure what the future is. So I do think they want to get something done and I do think it will get done.”
Rubenstein also foresees a speedy end to the current government shutdown, which has now lasted for more than a month.
“It will end relatively soon, and the reason is this: The business community, the labor community, labor unions, Democrats, Republicans, realize this is killing our economy,” Rubenstein said. “We have a pretty good economy and we’re not going into any recession any time soon. But this is going to lower growth by a fair bit.”
For instance, small businesses are unable to get loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, and some companies seeking approval for infrastructure like new pipelines have been blocked from filing with U.S. regulators due to the shutdown, Rubenstein noted.
“People are beginning to say to members of Congress, you’ve got to do something,” he said. “So something will get done relatively quickly.”
Leaders in the private sector have also called on the government to reopen, citing economic damage caused by some of the government closures and furloughed workers.
“The longer it goes, you’re not going to make that up in the economy,” JPMorgan Asset & Wealth Management CEO Mary Callahan Erdoes told Yahoo Finance in Davos. Likewise, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon previously said he believed that a protracted shutdown “can reduce growth to zero.” And Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman said in an interview with CNBC in Davos that a lengthy shutdown is “going to have an extremely damaging effect” on the U.S. economy.
The White House earlier this morning released a statement estimating that the cost to output due to the government shutdown is a reduction of 0.13 percentage points for each week of the closure.
Rubenstein acknowledged concerns to the U.S. economy as a result of the government shutdown, but he does not necessary see a full-blown recession on the horizon.
“Who would have thought nine months ago or six months ago that a potential problem that we would have in our economy was a government shutdown? Nobody would have predicted that,” Rubenstein said. He likened this in part to the subprime mortgage crisis that sparked the last recession – “you can’t predict it,” he said.
“What we can predict is that a government shutdown with a few other things – Brexit, the Chinese uncertainty – can lower economic growth, and if something else comes on top of it, it could be unfortunately not good for our economy,” Rubenstein said. “But right now…I see lower growth, but not recession-level.”

Volkswagen invests in a north Sweden wind farm
The automaker will receive 100GWh of clean energy as part of the deal.
The German automaker Volkswagen will invest €40 million in solar and wind power across Europe by 2025, including in the wind park operator WPD Onshore Aldermyrberget in Skellefteå, northern Sweden, according to regional news outlet Affärer i Norr.
By acquiring a stake in the wind park, VW will get about 100GWh of renewable electricity, enough for about 27,000 households.
VW has also invested in Northvolt new giant battery factory currently under construction in Skellefteå. As previously reported by the Barents Observer, the automaker has signed agreements with Northvolt to acquire battery-packs to its series of electric ID vehicles, currently consisting of the models ID.4, ID.5 and ID.3.
“We’re taking a holistic approach to decarbonization: from production through service life to recycling. And we’re the first car maker to support the expansion of renewable energies on an industrial scale,” VW CEO, Ralf Brandstätter, said in a press statement this spring.
The company is the world’s second largest carmaker, producing about 11 million vehicles annually.

Zelda Wii U: Nintendo Gives 500 'Super Fans' A Chance To Experience The Game Early
Game developer Nintendo announced that 500 lucky fans will be experiencing 'The Legend of Zelda' for Wii U ahead of everyone else.
It seems that Nintendo is seriously focusing all its energy on its latest Zelda title, having announced previously that the game company will not showcase any other games at this year's E3, as we have reported yesterday.
Zelda fans will have a chance to snag an invite to test play the much awaited title. On June 11, which the company dubbed as 'Super-Fan Signup Day', fans would need to line up and register at Nintendo NY, Nintendo's biggest store in Rockefeller Center. Only the first 500 fans will be eligible for the demo play. The gates open at 9am ET, and Nintendo said that a line will start to form at 7am ET, but knowing the Zelda fandom, we predict that some excited fans would be camping outside the Nintendo store in the early hours. Business Wire reminded fans that Nintendo will be requiring photo ID, and minors should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Once the lucky 500 fans are chosen, they will be invited back to Nintendo NY for a six-day 'Zelda Extravaganza'. The 'Legend of Zelda Experience' event will start on June 14, which coincides with the last day of this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. Nintendo has announced that it would not have a media presentation on the said event, and will be doing a whole-day livestream instead. The livestream event, called Nintendo Treehouse, will be shown on a huge 15-foot screen inside Nintendo NY, and would be the first full look at the game. The chosen ones will then be able to get their hands on the game for the first time from 3pm until 8pm, all throughout the week.
There wil also be a guided gameplay presentation with 'Nintendo experts' for those who were not lucky enough to get a ticket. The event will also have fun activities like The Legend of Zelda trivias, wherein fans can win prizes, and cosplayers can join in the fun by dressing up as their favorite Zelda characters.
The Legend of Zelda is scheduled for a 2017 release on the Wii U, and on Nintendo's upcoming console, Nintendo NX.

Ready to serve India’s newly found appetite for powerful and flashy superbikes, global two-wheeler giants are preparing to meet the demand through a slew of models due for debut in six to seven months.
In the pipeline are bikes from Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM and Kawasaki, capable of accelerating from zero to 100 km/hr in a little over three seconds. Honda, too, has promised further launches if demand continues to multiply.
Though such bikes cost upward of Rs 10-12 lakh (putting it in the equivalent category of executive sedans), demand is growing in double digits, pegging its market to 600-700 units per year. Companies appear to be keen on showcasing their technological and design prowess to the Indian consumer.
Atul Gupta, V-P (marketing and sales), Suzuki Motorcycle and Scooter India, said: “We want to complete the range of big bikes in India and will launch the Gixxer range before the end of the year.”
Suzuki will launch a GSX-R model (also known as Gixxer) by December, whose pricing will be on a par with its current fastest bike, Hayabusa, also available in India. Both the Hayabusa and the Intruder (a crusier) are priced at Rs 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
More than 100 units of both models have been sold so far in the year and the company is confident of achieving the target of 200 before the end of the year.
Similarly, Yamaha will launch the world’s most popular superbike, the next generation YZF R1 (2009 edition), before the year ends. The company plans to have more completely built unit (CBUs or direct imports) launches in the coming months.
Currently, it is failing to keep pace with the demand, which has surged manifold: the sales target set for the entire year for the country has been met in less than four months. Yamaha presently sells the previous generation YZF R1 and MT01 models, which have sold 127 units so far.
Sanjay Tripathi, department head, product planning and strategy, India Yamaha Motor, said, “Looking at the success of the two superbikes in our line-up, we are planning to add more models that would complete our product portfolio.”
Meanwhile, Pune-based Bajaj Auto will gear up to launch superbike models from partners Kawasaki Heavy Industries and KTM Power Sport AG in the coming period.
Bajaj Auto has committed to launch models, including Sports Roadster, Ninja ZX-6R, Z1000 and the Vulcan Cruiser from the Kawasaki stable and the 1190 RC8 from the KTM stable next year. All the models will be imported and sold through Bajaj’s speciality showrooms, known as Probiking.
Another Japanese manufacturer, Honda, which sells two superbikes in the country, the CB 1000 and the CBR 1000, may look at making further additions. An official from the company stated, “The response has been very encouraging for our two flagship brands. If customer demand continues to grow like this, then we will definitely consider more launches in CBUs.”
Manufacturers say the government’s high import duty (113 per cent) on such bikes more than doubles cost, thereby pushing these beyond the reach of many potential buyers.
However, the cost of the same models in the grey market can be more than 30 per cent cheaper, as importers pay only 25 per cent duty when importing these as spare parts into India and later assembling in various garages.

TABC cracks down on businesses selling alcohol to minors
SAN ANTONIO - The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is cracking down on businesses caught selling alcohol to minors. Undercover stings were carried out during Spring Break to catch violators.
The bartenders at Mad Dogs British Pub stay busy serving alcohol.
“All of our staff is TABC-certified. From the host to the door staff, anyone that touches alcohol,” said Jamie Maldonado, manager of Mad Dogs British Pub.
Maldonado says all employees strictly check ID's.
“They caught a lot at the door. They didn't even make it in the door,” Maldonado said.
It's a practice not every business takes seriously.
In recent spring break stings, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission went undercover visiting more than 100 businesses in San Antonio.
“Out of those 122, only four sold to our minors,” said Lieutenant Raul Salinas with TABC.
Minor stings are done year round.
Over the course of a year, out of 1,044 minor stings, 57 violations were issued to businesses giving Bexar County a 95% compliance rate.
“What it's saying is that our retailers are doing a great job checking those ids’ and making sure they are not putting alcohol in the hands of the people under the age of 21,” said Salinas.
The goal is to have every business that sells alcohol in compliance.
The next big task for TABC is cracking down during Fiesta.

Small machine shops hit hard by flooding
Ken Dragotta and Cecil Edirisinghe say their precision machining and motor manufacturing businesses survived the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. They're not sure they can survive the knee-deep sewage that inundated their firms last Thursday.
While the region's attention has focused on the devastation of residential neighborhoods from last week's torrential rain, businesses such as theirs are quietly struggling to survive the flooding.
The two companies are quintessential Milwaukee manufacturing businesses - family-owned, employing fewer than 10 people and each making motors and metal parts for some of the biggest machines on the planet.
The companies are part of the supply chain for the U.S. Defense Department and Caterpillar, among others.
Edirisinghe's Velicon Ltd. manufactures a variety of high-performance electric motors, electromagnetic torque products and machine tool spindles.
Dragotta's Systems Engineering & Automation Corp. makes machined parts for all sorts of industries.
The companies are side-by-side in an industrial building near N. 31st and W. Capitol Drive, where the worst of the flooding and sewer back-ups occurred on Milwaukee's north side.
Their shop floors resemble many others that dot southern Wisconsin, except for the remaining puddles of standing water accompanied by bottles of bleach and box fans being used to disinfect and dry things.
Nearly all of their machinery - much of it containing sophisticated electronic controls at or near ground level - came in contact with the sewage-filled floodwater.
Property-casualty and business loss insurance doesn't cover flooding, Dragotta said.
They are estimating their losses at $250,000 to $300,000 each - for now.
"If we can repair them, there's a good chance they're going to fail in the future," as corrosion works its way into the guts of the machines, Dragotta said.
In addition to machinery, some completed parts - including a number of high-rpm electric motors - were ruined, Edirisinghe said.
"It's gone. It's not usable," he said.
A room where his company stores metal wire that is coiled as part of the motor manufacturing process was filled with water. That wire can't be used.
"We have some serious damage," Edirisinghe said.
Dragotta said he is concerned about obtaining parts to repair some of his machinery, including a vertical turret lathe used in machining a variety of metal parts.
"If this machine is down six months, we're out of business," he said.
Dragotta has already called customers and told them of the situation. "You have to be completely honest with them," he said.
Both Dragotta and Edirisinghe say they are worried about losing customers as their businesses try to recover from the flooding.
"We're lucky to have made it through the recession," Dragotta said. "Business was just starting to pick up."
Dragotta also said that assuming he can get the business up and running again, he will consider moving it out of Milwaukee to a suburban location. He said he no longer has confidence in the city infrastructure's ability to handle heavy rains and fears future sewage backups.
"This was not rain water," he said. "This was sewage."
"As a business and property owner in Milwaukee, I'm not sure this is where I want to stay," Dragotta added.

This week on Nation's Restaurant News, at least 15 Chick-fil-A employees in Southeast Texas have tested positive for COVID-19. This forced the chain to temporarily close two restaurants. Franchise operator Robert Henckel said in a statement sent to NRN: “Our highest priority is the health of our Team Members and Guests. We are working directly with the Beaumont Health Department and following all guidance, including the temporary closure of our College Street and Dowlen Road Restaurants. We look forward to serving the community of Beaumont again soon.”
Also in Chick-fil-A news, the Atlanta-based chain said it is taking “additional time” to reopen its dining rooms in states that are starting to ease business restrictions. According to a Georgia state executive order, restaurants can accept dine-in customers provided they follow more than 30 guidelines such as limiting guests to 10 patrons per 500-square-feet of space.
Nation’s Restaurant News also talked with Mandy Sedlak, food safety and public health manager for Ecolab’s Ecosure division, who offered her expert advice on issues around delivery and takeout and how to clean after coronavirus cases were diagnosed.

Toyota Corolla Hybrid is the 2020 Rocky Mountain Car of the Year
The all-new 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid has been named the 2020 Rocky Mountain Car of the Year. Praised for its exceptional fuel economy, it was the winner in the sedan category against competition from Nissan, Subaru, and BMW.
Toyota Sedans: Explore the 2020 lineup
“We are honored to receive this award for the all-new Corolla Hybrid,” said John Mineweaser, assistant general manager of the Toyota Denver Region. “This vehicle is another efficient and value-based offering in our lineup that provides more options for our customers based on their needs.”
Featuring a new-generation Hybrid Synergy Drive, the Corolla Hybrid combines two motor/generator units with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, with power routed to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission. It has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 52 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway, about as good as it gets in the segment.
The Corolla Hybrid received the award from the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press, a professional association made up of nearly 100 automotive media members from states like Colorado, Kansas, Utah and Wyoming.
Each year, the RMPA evaluates vehicles that have gotten a new powertrain element or that have gone through a major redesign, eventually voting on four finalists in several categories. In the sedan category, the 2020 Corolla Hybrid went against the Nissan Versa, Subaru Legacy, and BMW M850i xDrive convertible.
“Two years ago the redesigned Camry received this accolade, and it is rewarding to see that Toyota’s latest passenger car products are being recognized by our local automotive press as leaders in an especially competitive and important segment in this market,” Mineweaser added.
As you might have surmised by now, the name of the award has to do with the Rocky Mountain range. If your intent is to actually drive up the rocky side of a mountain, you’d best look to a 4Runner or a Land Cruiser instead of a Corolla Hybrid.

Published on : Thursday, November 1, 2018
The exponential growth of Bengaluru as a major technology hub over the years has lured leading Israeli hospitality chain Dan Hotels to begin its global foray in India from this tech city.
Dan Hotel’s Chief Executive Ronen Nissenbaum said that Bengaluru is booming with the growth in IT sector. This attracted the management to open its first hotel ‘The Den’ outside Israel in Bengaluru.
Co-founded in 1947 by brothers Yekutiel and Shmuel Federmann as a luxury hospitality chain, the Tel Aviv-based Dan Hotels has 14 properties across Israel in seven cities, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the northern port city of Haifa.
Though the chain had a soft launch of its first international property in Bengaluru in December 2017, Nissenbaum officially unveiled it on Saturday, making Dan the first Israeli hospitality group to own a five-star luxury hotel in the subcontinent.
Located in the city’s bustling eastern suburb of Whitefield, home to several tech firms, the 226-room The Den with 21 floors was built at an upfront cost of $70 million (Rs 490 crore), with a helipad on the rooftop, a personal movie theatre, a 70-seater auditorium, a gaming zone and plenty of space for partying.
According to The Den’s General Manager Vinesh Gupta, the star hotel caters particularly to the needs of the millennials, born after 1980s and heading start-ups or firms at the age of 30 years or less.
Regulatory approvals and getting trade licenses made the project take 10 years to plan and build as the city’s tallest hotel building, while the average time taken to complete any such project is estimated to be at least five years the world over.
The Israeli group, which also runs convention centres and a Dan Gourmet School for training chefs in Tel Aviv, privately owns and manages the 15 hotels it operates, including 14 in Israel and the one in Bengaluru.
Incidentally, the hotel’s co-owners, Federmann Enterprises, also control the Israeli aerospace and defence firm Elbit Systems.
The family-run chain learnt that it was harder to buy land and build a hotel in China without local partners, than in India.
Over the past 10 months The Den has been open, it had a majority (60 per cent) of its guests coming from across the US, Europe and Asia while the remaining 40 per cent have been Indians.
With about 300 working staff, the hotel is wooing techies from the world over, who are on visits to the multinationals in the locality, to be its guests.
The group is eager to explore opportunities to expand to other Indian cities, across Europe, the US, West Asia and other parts of Asia.

On 19 February, OCCRP reported that Botswana’s lucrative yet controversial trade in donkey skins is back in the spotlight after an investigation asserts that one of the country’s four licensed donkey abattoirs is still engaging in cross-border smuggling and environmental criminality. Donkeys skin is in demand as it is processed into “ejiao” gelatin, one of the most valuable substances in traditional Chinese medicine, which is used in anti-ageing products like face creams. The allegations relate to the Chinese-owned Bo Chang abattoir in Francistown, eastern Botswana. The article says that, with donkey populations plummeting across east and southern Africa and locals in Botswana increasingly unwilling to sell to Bo Chang, it is alleged that the slaughterhouse is relying on smugglers more heavily than ever to stock its unsustainable supply.

It looks like there’s trouble brewing for Future Card Buddyfight Creator Yoshimasa Ikeda. His former company, Bushiroad, the company behind Future Card Buddyfight, as well as Cardfight Vanguard and BanG Dream!, is suing him for copyright infringement and damaging the company’s credibility. They’re also suing him and his company Studio Ikecchi for releasing information about Buddyfight.
According to the announcement via the Bushiroad official website, their contract with Ikeda states that he agreed to withhold confidential information and not release information about his work on the card game. The announcement stated that Ikeda broke that agreement twice already, and he had to apologize for these. Unfortunately, Bushiroad stated that Ikeda would break the agreement even more through through text posts and videos. He also used images from Future Card Buddyfight without the company’s consent. Even if Ikeda made Buddyfight, Bushiroad owns the rights to it so he cannot use images from the franchise for his own gain. The company also stated that he damaged their credibility via other services, including Discord. Discussing his actions outside the company doesn’t seem to work anymore, so they decided to sue Ikeda and his studio already.
The game launched back in 2014. Unfortunately, the game has ended product development and releases, and tournaments, customer support, and other services will end on June 30, 2021.

The feud between Apple and the FBI has turned hostile, with the government agency calling out Apple’s actions as false and corrosive to the very system meant to protect rights.
“Here, Apple deliberately raised technological barriers that now stand between a lawful warrant and an iPhone containing evidence related to the terrorist mass murder of 14 Americans. Apple alone can remove those barriers so that the FBI can search the phone, and it can do so without undue burden,” the Department of Justice wrote in a filing.
The debate began when the FBI demanded Apple to unlock the iPhone of one of the two San Bernardino shooters. Apple, however, denied the request, saying that accommodating such requests would set a bad precedent and creating a backdoor into the system would endanger user privacy.
However, DOJ argues that Apple is raising barriers for the FBI and is keeping it from accessing crucial information on the attackers. Moreover, DOJ says, the company’s decision comes off more as a marketing ploy.
“By Apple’s own reckoning, the corporation — which grosses hundreds of billions of dollars a year — would need to set aside as few as six of its 100,000 employees for perhaps as little as two weeks. This burden, which is not unreasonable, is the direct result of Apple’s deliberate marketing decision to engineer its products so that the government cannot search them, even with a warrant,” DOJ said.
The Cupertino-based company, which is set to face the FBI in court later this month, has taken a strong stance against any demands to build a software to hack into the locked iPhone of the shooter. Apple SVP and General Counsel Bruce Sewell went so far as to call DOJ desperate enough to have “thrown all decorum to the wind,” according to CNBC. “The tone of the brief reads like an indictment,” he added.
And while Apple seems to be garnering support from more tech companies, including Amazon, Facebook, Google and Microsoft, DOJ maintains that Apple is blowing the situation out of proportion as it is not asking the company to build a back door but is instead asking it to unlock a single iPhone.
“Apple is not some distant, disconnected third party unexpectedly and arbitrarily dragooned into helping solve a problem for which it bears no responsibility,” DOJ wrote.

AT&T has taken a minority stake in Vlingo in a move that could have major repercussions for Nuance’s (s nuan) patent infringement suit against the voice navigation startup. As part of the deal, Vlingo will integrate its offerings with AT&T’s Watson, a core speech recognition technology that serves as a foundation for voice-activated products. Vlingo will all but abandon the IBM-developed technology that it had been using — and which is at the heart of Nuance’s lawsuit.
“Our goal is to move everything to AT&T (s t),” Vlingo CEO Dave Grannan told me this morning. “If Nuance decides to proceed, they’ll essentially be suing us for violating patents — and this is the crazy thing — and the alleged violation occurs in the IBM engine Nuance licensed to us and, by the way, we don’t use anymore.”
Nuance executives were not immediately available for comment.
Grannan said the Watson engine is “superior” to the IBM-developed technology and will help Vlingo build better voice navigation offerings. AT&T and Vlingo will begin rolling out new products later this year for AT&T customers and plan to market the joint solution to other industry players, including device manufacturers and other carriers.
The cutthroat nature of the speech recognition space underscores the increasing attention it’s attracting from investors, as voice is positioned as a superior navigation tool to device keypads and touchscreens -– especially for users behind the wheel. A Boston-area outfit, Vlingo began to gain traction in early 2008 when Yahoo (s yhoo) tapped it to add a speech recognition component to its oneSearch offering. The agreement –- which followed Vlingo’s $6.5 million Series A round in 2007 -– saw Yahoo lead a second round of funding that brought in $20 million.
But Vlingo isn’t the only startup getting funded; the space has attracted hundreds of millions of dollars, and competition is fierce. Microsoft Corp. (s msft) joined the field two years ago with its $800 million acquisition of Tellme, whose technology it’s using to incorporate speech into its upcoming Windows Mobile 6.5. Google (s goog) has invested heavily as well, and is deploying voice navigation with its Android platform. As for the voice recognition companies themselves, outside of Vlingo, smaller players such as V-Enable and Promptu are also vying for attention. Meanwhile Nuance, the dominant pure play on the field, has spent $1 billion or so in acquisitions.
