Xiaomi Mi laptops have been performing exceptionally well in the Chinese market. Xiaomi offers a variety of Mi laptops such as Mi Notebook, Mi Notebook Pro, Mi Gaming Laptop and Mi Laptop Air. The launch of Mi Laptops in Indian market is still unclear. However, MD of Xiaomi India Manu Kumar Jain has shared a teaser video on his official Twitter account which shows him shutting a grey laptop. Not only this, but other key members from the Mi family also shared similar videos with a grey laptop. The move seems to be creating a pathway for the launch of Xiaomi laptops in India.
Mi Laptops are Powered by Intel Core Processors
Mi Laptops have made its space in the Chinese market. Mi laptops are powered by Intel Core processors. It is difficult to guess which series or laptop will Xiaomi launch in Indian markets. However, it is expected that Xiaomi will launch the Mi Notebook 2019 version with a 15.6-inch display and deep grey finish. Since the Indian market is price sensitive, it is also expected that Xiaomi can also bring a new range of Mi Laptops specially made for the price-sensitive market of India. As of release date, no official announcement has been made by Xiaomi regarding the launch of Mi Laptops in India. Last Month, Ishan Agrawal also hinted that Mi Laptops could be launched soon in India. Now since all the key members of the Mi team including the Manu Kumar Jain have shared the teaser video, users might soon hear an official announcement regarding the launch of Mi Laptops in India.
Xiaomi Also Trademarked RedmiBook in India
Xiaomi recently expanded its RedmiBook lineup in China by launching the AMD Ryzen 4000 series-powered RedmiBook 13, RedmiBook 14 and RedmiBook 16 models. Also, tipster Ishan Agrawal earlier stated that Manu Kumar Jain had a discussion with retailers regarding the launch of RedmiBook and Mi Notebook in India. Also, Xiaomi has registered a trademark for the RedmiBook brand in India. Xiaomi customers in India who are waiting for the laptop range of the company can expect that Xiaomi might launch Mi Notebook or RedmiBook laptops in India soon.

CableLabs® Certifies Thomson and Toshiba Cable Modems
Retail Ready, High-Speed Cable Modems Now
Louisville, Colorado, March 4, 1999—Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs®) today announced that it has certified for retail sale high-speed cable modems from Thomson Consumer Electronics and Toshiba, passing a major milestone in the industry�s move toward open standards. This announcement marks the first time retail-ready products have passed CableLabs� interoperability criteria for high-speed data/Internet access.
The first wave of CableLabs Certified™ modems is now ready for retail distribution. Additional suppliers� modems should be available at retail later this year as they become certified in subsequent testing. In addition to buying cable modems at retail, consumers may obtain cable modems, including certified modems, from cable operators.
The retail certified modems are identifiable by a �CableLabs Certified" seal. This seal will inform consumers and cable operators that a modem complies with the CableLabs� cable modem specification. It also states that the device will work on multiple headends, which soon will be deployed in a substantial number of systems in the United States and Canada.
�CableLabs has engineered a fast, efficient and productive process to enable the 21st Century telecommunications market with a data, video and voice platform," said CableLabs Chairman Dr. John C. Malone, chairman and CEO of Tele-Communications Inc. �This process will serve the industry well," he added. �The retail modem initiative provides this country with a digital-based service foundation, which will empower consumers," Malone added.
�This is a real milestone in the advancement of the cable industry's technical platform," said Brian L. Roberts, President of Comcast Corporation and a member of the CableLabs Board of Directors and its Executive Committee. �The new cable modem standard will permit our industry and our customers to benefit from competition and innovation among the world's leading electronics manufacturers. It's simply incredible to see this happen barely three years from the day that the industry began this interoperability project."
�The cable modem initiative is a real jump-start for an important new business. It will help drive down the cost of this technology for consumers and the cable industry, and make our high-speed on-line business available to people more quickly," said Joseph J. Collins, chairman and CEO of Time Warner Cable and a member of the CableLabs Board and Executive Committee.
�These new CableLabs Certified™ cable modems will allow consumers to choose cable modems from a wide variety of suppliers. And they'll be able to take those modems with them if they move. As we've seen with so many other consumer electronics, including calculators and VCRs, as competition increases, features become more robust and prices fall. This is a great move for consumers and the industry as a whole," said Chuck Lillis, chairman and CEO of MediaOne Group.
�The introduction of certified modems is an important step towards offering customers a retail choice for cable modems," said Leo J. Hindery, Jr., President of TCI. �We are building a competitive and vigorous suite of new consumer services through ever advancing technologies and this interoperable platform is one of the first key components."
�CableLabs and the cable industry have achieved an unparalleled objective with our interoperable cable modem initiative," said Dr. Richard R. Green, CableLabs president and CEO. �We have highly qualified, leading manufacturers from the consumer electronics and computer industries working with us, we have a certification plan to inform consumers, and we have the strong support of our cable operating members to pursue cable modem deployment as aggressively as they can. We have pioneered a process that we believe will greatly reduce the time to market of future cable equipment and services as well," he said.
�Certified cable modems and qualified headend equipment will enable rapid growth of the high-speed Internet access marketplace by affording consumers and cable operators high performance at lower costs," said David Fellows, chair of the cable industry�s Certification Review Committee.
The process has been collaborative, noted Rouzbeh Yassini, executive consultant to CableLabs working on the modem project: �Vendors have contributed to the specification, interoperability test plan and the certification process. Their participation has been instrumental in helping the industry create the first retail certification modem and qualified headend equipment."
�Certified cable modems in the retail environment will help drive the deployment of broadband services as more consumers are exposed to the power and convenience of cable Internet services," said Tom Jermoluk, chairman and CEO of @Home Network. �We are excited about the robust capabilities provided by DOCSIS modems and the wide variety of vendors, including consumer electronic companies, who are new to the cable television space."
�The availability of certified modems is a critical milestone in the evolution of the cable modem business," said Bob Cruickshank, vice president of technology for Road Runner. �We plan to work with our affiliates to immediately start to roll-out the certified product in our up-coming launches and anticipate that our customer growth, already running ahead of projections, will gain even more momentum."
Getting the marketing message to cable modem purchasers and users will be facilitated through the Cable Broadband Forum (CBF). Said Tom Cullen, MediaOne Vice President of Internet Service and CBF chairman: �Given the incredible momentum that has developed around cable modems in the past year, significant industry players have formed the CBF to support the acceleration of cable modem deployment. CableLabs will continue to work with the CBF, by sharing certification results, to help realize the goal of widespread deployment and adoption."
Cable modems are used to provide high-speed Internet and data access. Cable modems are always connected and unlike telephone industry modems, do not require re-dialing to a service provider. In addition, consumers do not tie up their telephone line for Internet surfing when using a cable modem to access the Internet because the connection is two-way via cable. The certified cable modems can coexist in cable systems with existing, proprietary cable modems.
Manufacturers who receive CableLabs certification for their high-speed cable modems have successfully completed an extensive series of interoperability tests supported by CableLabs membership. Modems were tested against headend equipment supplied by four different manufacturers. Qualification evaluation of headend equipment (CMTS) is ongoing.
As part of the certification test process, vendors were asked to work in CableLabs facilities in pre-market, pre-competitive testing and evaluation in order to prove their compliance with the industry-supported program and technology. As part of the certification process, vendors do self-certification testing of their products at their own facilities.
CableLabs certification has focused on how well vendors� cable modem and headend equipment have adhered to the defined interface specifications. The standard cable modem architecture is now enriched with high-speed data capability of up to 38 million bits per second throughput per standard cable channel, with the flexibility of enabling each broadband service provider to customize multiple service tiers. In addition to the unprecedented speed cable modems also offer ease of installation, robust reliability, and data encryption of all information conveyed by the certified modems.
CableLabs has managed the interoperable cable modem process, previously known as Data over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) for the past three years. In that time, the effort has achieved cable and vendor consensus on a series of definitions of key interconnection points in a cable data distribution network. It also has achieved North American (by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers) and international (by the International Telecommunications Union) standardization using key elements of DOCSIS.
"First-wave DOCSIS certification of the RCA DCM105 digital cable modem is a solid endorsement of Thomson's digital capabilities and commitment to working with the cable industry to bring high-speed Internet access to millions of consumers throughout the Americas," said Thomson Consumer Electronics' Carl Bruhn, General Manager - RCA Broadband. "We commend the efforts of CableLabs in bringing the first of many key interoperability projects to fruition, and we look forward to the successful implementation of current and future cable initiatives with our MSO partners."
�We are pleased that Toshiba�s cable modem is one of the first DOCSIS cable modems to be certified by CableLabs," commented Mike Knudsen, VP/GM of Toshiba�s Network Products Division. �Having been involved with DOCSIS from the beginning, Toshiba understands the value of the DOCSIS standard to the future of the industry and is fully committed to producing the highest performance, most cost effective products based on that standard."

Robin Hood tax plan suffers blow as EU's own lawyers brand the levy illegal
Plans to introduce a Robin Hood tax in Europe suffered a potentially fatal setback yesterday as the region’s lawyers branded the levy illegal.
Germany and France were among the 11 European Union countries to sign up to the controversial financial transactions tax aimed at getting more money out of banks.
The tax was vehemently opposed in Britain – where it was seen as an attack on the City of London – and in April the UK government launched a legal challenge in the European Court of Justice.
Gathering storm: The controversial financial transactions tax is aimed at getting more money out of banks
It was feared that the tax would affect transactions carried out beyond the borders of the countries that sign up for it and damage business – particularly in Britain.
A report by the EU’s own lawyers warns that the tax, due to be introduced in 2014, would exceed the powers of member states. The report said the plan was not compatible with the EU treaty and added that the fact that only 11 EU members signed up would make it ‘discriminatory’ against non-participating states. Although the findings are non-binding, it was seen as devastating blow to supporters of the tax.
Leo Ringer, head of financial services and corporate governance at the CBI, the UK’s biggest business lobby, welcomed the ruling. ‘This opinion recognises that the FTT would have damaging implications for growth, jobs and investment beyond the member states involved, so now is the time to draw a line under this flawed proposal,’ he said.
Tory MEP Syed Kamall, an opponent of the tax, said the EU’s leaders should have no option but to ditch the scheme. ‘It had always been ill-judged and ill-conceived, and now it is shown to be illegal too,’ he said.
The 11 countries currently going ahead with the FTT are Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Slovenia, Slovakia and Estonia.

Following the record-breaking 2018 Florida RV SuperShow, the Florida RV Trade Association’s (FRVTA) regional shows kicked into high gear trying to capitalize on the upbeat news out of Tampa.
According to a press release, the following week, Region 1 started the regional show schedule at the Fort Myers RV Show. The winter show schedule will conclude in early March at the Ocala RV Show.
The Fort Myers RV Show, celebrating its 33rd year, saw 11 dealers and close to 100 vendors reap the financial benefits of participating in this annual four-day event. According to Show Manager Jack Carver, the event opened strong with long lines waiting to get in on the first day, which featured a discounted admission.
“Attendance overall was good with just under 11,000 paid attendees,” he said. “Unfortunately, for past several years the show has been afflicted with poor weather and this year was no exception with strong winds Friday and Saturday, followed by the heavy threat of rain all day Sunday.”
Despite conditions, Show Chairman Chris Morse reported very strong sales among both vendors and dealers, with many dealers reporting double-digit sales.
The Jacksonville RV MegaShow held at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center ran the first week in February. Just over 9,900 people came through the ticket gates during the four-day show — the highest number of attendees ever recorded at the Jacksonville Show. “We had more than 4,000 people come out on Saturday alone, so we knew it was definitely going to be a record-breaking event,” said FRVTA Region 6 President Ken Loyd. “We were also very fortunate that the weather forecast, which had called for rain just a few days before, changed and we had great weather during the entire show.”
Rounding out the February show schedule was the West Palm Beach RV Show held at the South Florida Fairgrounds. The eight participating dealers were pleased with traffic and sales as over 6,100 people attended the show. “We had a couple of deals the very first day,” said FRVTA State Secretary Brian Copley. “With a great crowd on opening day along with securing a few deals, I just had a feeling this was going to be a great show, and it was.”
The last show of the winter selling season took place March 1-4 at the Horse Park in Ocala. Four days of beautiful weather greeted the 6,300 people that attended the show, up about 24% over last year’s attendance. “Just about every dealer and booth exhibitor I talked to was very excited about the results of the show,” said FRVTA Show Coordinator Patty Flanagan. “The addition of the petting zoo, roving entertainment and the DJ really made for a more festive atmosphere”.

On February 25, the signing ceremony of Anhui province’s major industrial project took place at the JAC-NIO production base in Hefei. Out of the 8 major industrial projects selected, Chinese EV maker NIO received more than 10 billion yuan in government investment, and announced the launch of new China headquarters in Hefei. In the meantime, mass production of the JAC-NIO EC6 model officially kicked off in Hefei’s JAC-NIO factory. EC6 will be the third model the JAC-NIO factory has produced since the cooperation of the two parties started.
The two sides have promoted cooperation on the industrial chain of new-energy vehicles and intelligent internet-connected vehicles since 2016. Subsequently, the intelligent high-end electric manufacturing base jointly built by JAC and NIO went into construction in October of the same year and was officially put into use in the second half of 2017. The JAC-NIO manufacturing base is located in mid-China’s city of Hefei. The plant is projected to produce 100,000 EVs a year.
NIO has suffered from large financial losses over the past few years. According to its 2019 Q3 Report, the company had a cumulative loss of 40.345 billion yuan from 2016 to the first half of 2019. Over the past year, NIO’s stock price went down over 45%. Before receiving funding from Hefei authorities, NIO was rumored to have negotiated investments with government backed Beijing E-Town Capital and Zhejiang Wuxing District government. Chinese automotive companies GAC group and Geely Auto were also reported to have intentions to inject funds.
Founded in November 2014, NIO is a leading Chinese premium electric vehicle manufacturer. On September 12, 2018, NIO was successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange. JAC Motors is a Chinese state-owned automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturer.

If you look closely at the photo above, you see the two reasons Elon Musk's net worth plummeted by a mind-boggling $770 million in one day.
The starred glass behind Musk—we can't tell if he's grimacing or attempting to smile—wasn't supposed to happen, and it turned his unveiling of the freaky-looking new Tesla Cybertruck into the kind of fiasco no mogul wants to see play out in front of the world press.
About one minute into the video, Musk asks someone to try and break the Cybertruck's glass with a large steel ball.
The guy, who to be fair looks fit enough to throw the ball pretty hard, succeeds. Twice. Musk's words the first time the glass cracks tell the whole story: "Oh my fucking god."
But how did this affect the Tesla founder's income? Forbes explains:
The demonstration did little to inspire confidence in the Cybertruck, especially given its radical design. Tesla’s share price has dropped by 6% since the market close yesterday, pushing Musk’s net worth down by $768 million in a single day, to $23.6 billion. The 48-year-old founder is the 41st-richest person in the world.
Wall Street analysts are highly divided on Tesla. Among a group of 35 tracked by Bloomberg, 12 have issued buy ratings for the stock, 9 have issued holds and 16 have issued sells. Across the board, analysts acknowledged the Cybertruck’s design is potentially polarizing.
Obviously, no one will feel bad for a guy whose net worth has dropped to a mere $23.6 billion dollars. It's still not a small chunk of change, though, and could act as a kind of warning to Musk and his company.
Forbes also reports that Wall Street analysts aren't sure what to make of Tesla or the Cybertruck, quoting a note written by Deutsche Bank analyst Emmanuel Rosner, who said individual consumers might shy away from the Cybertruck's funky, angular look and business buyers could be skeptical of its toughness, since “the shattering of the truck’s unbreakable glass windows during the live demonstration was not a good start.”
Musk would probably agree with that—TMZ reported he was "bewildered and dumbfounded" after the snafu.
Still, he tweeted on Saturday that plenty of consumers are already into his truck. Almost 150,000 of them.
Musk also tweeted video demonstrating that previous tests of the glass went off without a hitch.
Undaunted by the glitchy rollout and ready for your own Cybertruck? Find out more here at Tesla.com. They run from $39,900 for the base model up to $69,900 for the more tricked-out version.

A recent market report by Transparency Market Research predicts the global e-scrap volume to rise to US$ 41 billion by 2019; more than four times the current volume. Current global e-scrap is estimated to be around 48 million tons (US$ 9.8 billion), which has been predicted to rise to over 141 million tons by 2019. The report estimates growth in the e-scrap market to average out at 23.06% per annum over the coming six years.
Electronic recycling of copper, steel and plastic resins will continue to drive the market, with stricter government controls expected to be implemented over the next few years, in particular in the Asia Pacific region. Environment sustainability programs and rapid industrialization are also driving the electronic recycling markets.
Currently the recycling of computers makes up the bulk of the market, and this is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. The pace of technology in microchip manufacturing now renders modern computers obsolete in a much shorter time frame, with hardware replaced far more frequently than ever before. Technology companies – mobile phone companies especially – are now starting to respond by providing better end of life management plans for their products, with take-back programs starting to become more widespread.
The electronic recycling market is currently driven by Europe, although the report predicts a shift to the Asia-Pacific region over the next few years. There are currently few regulations in place covering the recycling of electronic waste, and cheap labor coupled with an ever growing mountain of e-waste is likely to see India, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan emerge as the major growth centers in e-scrap recycling over the remainder of the decade.

It’s still possible Congress and the White House will reach a compromise to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. But that’s not a chance most businesses are willing to take. Dirk Moore is an attorney with Houston-based law firm Hughes Watters Askanase.
“A lot of corporations have sped up their process for declaring dividends and paying them out, so they get taxed under the lower rates of 2012.”
Oracle, Wal-Mart, and apparel company Hot Topic are just a few of those paying out fourth-quarter dividends before January 1st.
In addition, Moore says, partnerships are accelerating distribution payments that might otherwise have waited until 2013.

Representatives of 26 Bulgarian industry organizations have announced an indefinite nationwide protest. Farmers have driven heavy machinery to block main roads across the country, including border crossings, following Bulgaria’s National Assembly decision to support the lifting of the ban on imports of Ukrainian agricultural products after 15 September, Forbes Bulgaria reported.
The protesters have five main demands to the Bulgarian government.
The protesters are demanding a further ban on imports of sunflower, wheat, corn, and rapeseed from Ukraine and a ban on imports of unrefined oil, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat and meat products, live animals, honey and bee products from Ukraine, as well as strengthening control over the origin, quality, and safety of agricultural products imported into the country.
The farmers’ community also demands that the government pay farmers the full compensation for increased production costs due to the war in Ukraine by 30 September 2023 and lift the restrictions on the amount of aid.
The requests also include providing the necessary funds for the re-notification of existing and new state subsidies, including minimum subsidies for producers of grapes, potatoes, raspberries, greenhouse products, and tobacco, as well as for livestock farmers and honey producers.
The EU imposed a ban on Ukrainian agricultural products in May 2023 as a temporary measure temporary measure “to avoid market distortions.” The decision followed unilateral bans in five EU countries bordering Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria, in what has been called “blackmail” of the EU commission.
The EU lifted the ban on Ukrainian agricultural products on 15 September 2023, after Ukraine agreed to introduce legal measures within 30 days to avoid grain surges and ensure fair competition.
However, some EU countries, such as Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia, decided to extend their own national bans on Ukrainian products, citing the need to protect their farmers and food security.

It's a new service aiming to enhance the rideshare experience.
A company based out of New York is on a mission to help drivers earn some extra cash and keep passengers extra happy by making products available on-the-go.
Cargo Systems is turning vehicles into small convenient stores on wheels. Snacks, medicine, beauty products — there’s a wide variety of offerings.
Cargo's founder and CEO, Jeff Cripe, says the kits have high utility items mixed in with some fun surprises.
"For passengers, you never have to worry about your phone dying, riding hungover, or suffering through that snack- less midnight ride from the airport. Everything you need is a tap away on your phone,” said Cripe in a statement.
Here’s how it works: Each kit has a special code number. Riders simply log onto Cargo’s website, type in the code, select the products they want, and pay (if necessary) -- all with a couple of taps.
Cargo is free for drivers, and we're told they make 50 cents for each item distributed. According to Cripe, drivers can also receive bonuses for certain goals they hit.
He says the average driver makes about $115 a month using Cargo.
Software also reportedly tracks the inventory for each individual driver and sends replenishments automatically.
One of Cargo's main markets is right here in Detroit, according to Cripe. He says they currently have thousands of driver signups across 47 states after a recent launch.
Cargo was actually part of the Techstars Mobility 2016 class in Detroit. Cripe says the accelerator program really helped get them to where they are.
"It provided an awesome launch pad for us," said Cripe.

Soon there will be whole new ways for you to text about someone’s genitalia without actually using any vaguely naughty words. 72 new emoji are set to launch later this month, including pictures of all sorts of phallic foods, like pickles, carrots, hot dogs, baguettes, burritos, and peanuts. (There’s also a tiny taco, if you’re into that sort of thing.) The new slate also includes a tiny man in full Saturday Night Fever regalia, a pregnant woman, two fists for digital bumping, both a black heart and a dead flower, what looks to be whiskey in a glass, and a curling stone, just in case you’re Canadian. There’s also a silverback gorilla, in case you and some friends just really want to text about that whole Harambe thing.
As Unicode notes, the designs pictured above are just samples, and the final images could vary slightly on whatever phone you have when they’re released later this month. There’s no hard date for that yet, though, so until then, that eggplant emoji will just have to do.
Update: We misrepresented how emoji works in our original final paragraph. Here’s a clarification from commenter Decals42:
“As a standards body, Unicode is not responsible for releasing “the final images,” and in fact, there’s no one set of images that officially represent the emoji. Every smartphone and platform has its own font that renders the emoji differently—so for example, iPhones, Android Phones, Windows, and Facebook all have their own emojis that will use these reference images as a basis.”

TROUP COUNTY, Ga. — A Troup County detention officer asks for your help to bring relief and fresh water to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.
Since the devastation of Hurricane Maria, the island remains without necessary resources like electricity, food, and perhaps most importantly, water. Officer Edward Burton is on a mission to change that, one water filter at a time.
Burton says he wants to collect 1000 water filters to send to our neighbors in Puerto Rico and provide them with a steady source of clean water. His post on Facebook says he hopes to make it easier and safer for those forced to resort to local rivers, streams, puddles, and rain-catchment systems for sources relief.
The post says Burton is accepting Sawyer Mini filters and Sawyer Squeeze filters, both of which can filter more than 100,000 gallons of water. The filters are available at various store fronts and online retailers like Academy Sports, Amazon, Bass Pro Shops, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Menards, Target, Wal-Mart, and Full Metal Jacket Armory. He says gift cards to these retailers will be accepted to buy the filters, but he cannot accept cash.
Burton says he hopes to have the filters collected by November 3.
If you would like to donate a filter or a gift card to purchase one, they can be dropped off or mailed to:

Gmail for Web To Soon Get Material Makeover, Smart Replies and Snooze
Gmail has been a core component of Google’s offerings. The service has been around for over a decade now and it has quickly become the most popular e-mail service that we know of. While a large number of mobile users make use of Gmail, Gmail for web is pretty popular too.
Google is now working towards giving Gmail for web a material makeover. It is one of the last major services which has a non-material design. This is now a part of Google’s plans for Gmail but as of now there’s no deadlines as to when this change might finally come along.
A material makeover for Gmail for Web has been in the pipeline for a really long time. It looks like the company might actually revamp it up for later this year. Two major Google services got updated to Material UI this year – Earlier in August we saw the Google Calendar app getting this update for some users, following which even YouTube got a material makeover.
Gmail for Web is likely to be the next major name to get this update. Google points out at this change in the NEXT Live EMEA 2017 G Suite product roadmap talk. While this talk happened a while ago, this news has only come to light now.
In addition to a material makeover for Gmail for Web, Google also plans to introduce some other features on the web version – smart replies, smart grouping and snooze. Smart replies were introduced for Inbox by Gmail users. Snoozing and Grouping of mails too, has been a part of Inbox for quite a while now.
For now, the material makeover is what we are excited the most for. This new look and feel for Gmail would ensure that those blocks and chunky layouts are gone and replaced by a cleaner, smoother UI. No word on when this update would be rolling out though. Stay tuned with us for more details on this new look of Gmail for Web.

GlobalFoundries and Samsung this week announced plans to extend their collaboration agreement and synchronize global semiconductor fabrication facilities to build high performance, low leakage 28nm chips based on High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) technology. The technology takes aim at mobile applications and, according to Samsung, begins to blur the line between mobile and desktop silicon.
“We are pleased to offer smart, innovative foundry solutions to our customers through this unique collaboration. This 28nm process will be the first semiconductor technology to truly eliminate the border between desktop computers and mobile devices," said Jay Min , vice president of System LSI foundry marketing, Device Solutions, Samsung Electronics.
The new agreement extends a collaboration pact signed in 2010 between GlobalFoundries and Samsung, IBM, and STMicroelectronics, putting the firms on the same page when it comes to producing low power 28nm HKMG chips. This allows customers to source production at different facilities without worrying about compatibility problems.
This new agreement broadens the collaboration to include a powerful new 28nm chip design "to enable mobile devices with unprecedented performance and battery life." It will offer 55 percent better performance than 45nm low power SoC designs at the same frequency, and consume 60 percent less power.
GlobalFoundries and Samsung will each qualify the technology at two 300mm fabs apiece, including Fab 1 in Dresden and Fab 8 in New York (GlobalFoudries), and Samsung S1 in Korea and S2 in Texas.

“The announcement that much of the crypto world has been hoping for is here: Tesla has invested in bitcoin. Tesla joins publicly traded companies including Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy that have steered corporate money into bitcoin.
According to Tesla’s annual report, the investment policy was updated in January to provide ‘more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash.’ Tesla also expects to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for its products “in the near future.”
We think this is just the start to a much wider adoption from household institutional names, finally ready to make the crossover into the crypto space.
Bitcoin’s price shot up more than 14% after Tesla’s disclosure to a new all-time high of $44,801.”

“The world’s first regulated ether futures product may draw more institutional demand for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, boosting the recent price rally.
The earliest traditional financial institutions that bought BTC are already looking at ETH, if not bought already. And rightfully so. The most used crypto network + future of finance + a potential deflationary monetary policy narrative make it extremely compelling.
Patrick Heusser, head of trading at the Swiss-based Crypto Finance AG, foresees ether leading the broader market higher. Wang foresees ether rallying to $5,000 and higher in the long run.”

“The debasing of global currencies is why companies like Tesla (TSLA) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) are investing in bitcoin and that should be troubling for the rest of the world, former acting U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks said Monday.
The former acting comptroller noted the U.S. money supply has risen 25% since the start of the pandemic and will be up 40% compared with a year ago once the most recent round of stimulus is done in the next few days.“
“The app – to be updated this week – will let Ledger wallet users connect to decentralized apps (dapps) via an integration with open-source protocol WalletConnect.
Ledger Live mobile users will be able to use their device to manage transactions without relying on external gateways and browser-based Ethereum wallets.“

European auto giant Groupe PSA plans to re-enter the Indian car markets by the end of 2021. Their plan is to launch their Citroen brand. While at the Geneva Motor Show, Citroen's global CEO, Linda Jackson said the automaker sees India as a critical pillar for expansion outside Europe. She said Citroen sees "real opportunity" in India and their strategy is to "be Indian in India" by way of high localisation.
In an interview with ET Auto, Linda Jackson said the following —
Citroen has done well in Europe and other markets, but still need to become more international. India clearly is a real opportunity for growth. It's already a 3.6-million market and forecasts say it will grow. Citroen's branding and positioning will make an impact and offer something different.
Citroen has over a million in sales and most of that is concentrated in Europe. There are plans of doubling sales outside of Europe - from 20% in the next three years to 40% by 2021-2022, and India will be a key pillar, along with China and South America.
The success Citroen had is because of new positioning, model range, a new approach, unique styling that's different in the market, and the emphasis on comfort. Groupe PSA believes they have the ability to stand out and make an impact very quickly.
Citroen is developing an international program of models that will be available in India and in other regions. It is part of the "core model strategy" which is to make sure, when there are models that cover a minimum of two regions. India will the first market for launches. Citroen wants to make sure there have a suite of models to introduce.
Groupe PSA have two joint ventures with CK Birla Group. One for assembly and distribution, and the other with Avtec for power-trains for localisation of engines and gearboxes. This program will have PSA technology in terms of quality, comfort and design. It will be CO2-friendly that meets Indian rules for emission by 2020.
Indian consumers like value for money. They want lots of things buy don't necessarily want to pay a high price for it. Citroen needs to make sure they are cost efficient and have a high level of integration in India. To achieve this, localisation has to be at 90% of more. Citroen need to be building in India, in their Indian factories, with Indian suppliers.
Jackson also said India could be an export hub, particularly for gearboxes. Although she feels it is early to talk about exports when Citroen still has to build their first car in India.
Thoughts About Citroen Going The Local Way
Well, Citroen might need a Quality Control team at their Indian Factories and at each of their Indian suppliers. Hopefully that will help with the quality products they talk about. Outside of that, it is a fantastic idea to have this much of localisation. It helps with the economy and maybe results in another set of affordable cars.

For Barcelona, Tourism Boom Comes At High Cost
On a mild, sunny afternoon, hordes of tourists stroll down Barcelona's famous tree-lined pedestrian avenue, La Rambla. They love it — the weather, the tapas, the laid-back bohemian vibe. One tourist from Australia says he's visited Barcelona 12 times in 10 years.
But the city doesn't always love them back.
In January, thousands of Barcelona residents marched down La Rambla and "occupied" the entrance to a hotel there, to protest the volume of tourists and gentrification in the city.
Such rallies began in the summer of 2014, after a group of Italian tourists rented a flat for a bachelor party in an old fishermen's barrio on Barcelona's seafront. One morning, three of the visitors were photographed gallivanting around the neighborhood grocery store — stark naked — as elderly neighbors looked on, aghast. Their antics made the local newspapers and sparked protestswhich have spread across the city in recent years.
That incident became a symbol of tourists gone wild in Barcelona, and gave birth to neighborhood anti-tourism groups.
"The promotion of tourism, and all these tourist apartments, is actually driving neighbors out," says Martí Cusó, a member of one anti-tourism group in Barcelona's Gothic quarter, where his family has lived for three generations.
He takes NPR on a tour of his barrio, where the dry cleaner and local tailor have closed, their storefronts converted into a 24-hour mini-mart and souvenir shop. A city square that used to be entirely residential is now lined with hotels. The only remaining apartment building has just been renovated into luxury condos, mostly to be used as vacation homes for wealthy foreigners.
"All the community that was living here has been broken — completely broken," Cusó says.
At his local market, the centuries-old La Boquería, most people are not buying vegetables.
"They crowd the passageways, taking photos, so regular people can't do their grocery shopping," says Rocí Gayo, who has sold fruit at La Boquería for 20 years. "Out of 20 tourists, if I'm lucky, maybe one will buy one piece of fruit — but no more."
Two years ago, City Hall banned tour groups of 15 or more people from entering the market altogether on Saturday and Sundays before 3 p.m. — peak shopping hours.
Tourism does bring revenue, and has helped Barcelona grow. It currently makes up about 12 percent of Barcelona's economy — up from less than 2 percent before the 1992 Olympic Games showcased this city to the world.
But tourism revenue is not shared as equitably as many locals would like. As old rent controls expire, restaurant and hotel chains have gobbled up mom-and-pop, family-run businesses. With more than 30 million annual tourists in a city of 1.6 million residents, there may be more tourist rentals in Barcelona than year-long leases for full-time residents, says Janet Sanz, the deputy mayor in charge of urban planning.
"It started with the '92 Olympics, and it's opened to the world," Sanz told NPR in an interview at her office. "We understand that other people love our city. But we're becoming a tourist theme park, every time a grocery store closes and a souvenir shop takes its place. People live and work here. It's not just a fun weekend place."
In January, City Hall banned new hotel beds in the historic quarter. Late last year, it slapped the home-sharing companies Airbnb and HomeAway each with 600,000-euro fines ($634,000) for listing unlicensed tourist rentals.
Such companies have become targets of public anger over rising real estate prices and a diminishing supply of year-long leases. Homeowners can make much more money renting short-term to tourists than long-term to locals.
Sanz estimates there are 10,000 licensed, short-term rental flats in the city, and about 7,000 illegal ones.
"We agree with them on the need to crack down on unwelcome commercial operators," says Patrick Robinson, regional director of public policy for Airbnb, who traveled from London to negotiate with Barcelona officials. "But the city also needs to come to terms with the fact that Barcelona residents are using space in their homes to generate much-needed income at a time of economic stress."
Starting this spring, Airbnb has agreed to limit homeowners to one property listing per person in the city center. But it disputes the city's rule that every listing must have a tourist license — which requires a long bureaucratic process — especially if you're renting out part of your own home.
That's the new sharing economy, Robinson says, and Airbnb helps disperse tourists throughout the whole city.
"More than 70 percent of guests who travel to Barcelona with Airbnb say they want to live like locals do. That is why so many people are now staying in areas that don't normally see tourists," Robinson says. "This is a different kind of tourism."
The city frames the licensing dispute as a security issue and encourages tourists to ask landlords if they have a tourist license before they rent. Otherwise, city inspectors could evict tourists from unlicensed apartments at a moment's notice, Sanz warns.
Late last year, Sanz and her City Hall colleagues conducted a citizens' survey. Residents responded that their No. 1 concern is still unemployment — currently at around 10 percent — even though the Spanish economy has rebounded from the economic crisis.
Their No. 2 concern: Too many tourists.

DEF shortage puts more nails in diesel car, SUV coffin
The headlines about the DEF shortage, caused by China's restrictions on exports of urea, have focused on commercial vehicles like cargo trucks because they need more frequent refills of the fluid due to their longer drives and heavy loads.
Ordinary cars don't need as much, but the headlines have still scared potential customers away from diesel models.
“One of my customers asked for a car that was suitable for camping, so I suggested a diesel SUV, particularly for its fuel efficiency,” said Mr. Kim, an owner of a car dealership in Seoul.
“But over the weekend, the customers called me to change the order from a diesel model to another type that doesn’t need DEF. Unlike commercial vehicles, SUVs can run more than 10,000 kilometers on just 10 liters of the fluid, but I don’t think that fact will make him change his mind.”
Diesel cars in Korea have already seen a decline in popularity, mirroring the rise in interest in eco-friendly cars such as hybrids or pure electric vehicles (EVs).
Newly registered diesel models in Korea in October numbered 20,261, a 63.1 percent decline from a year earlier, according to data from CarIsYou, a Seoul-based market tracker of auto sales.
In September, the figure saw a more modest 23.4 percent decline.
For the first ten months of this year, the market share for diesel models among new car sales was 25.4 percent. But in October alone, the market share was only 16.5 percent.
“With the rising price of fuel and a trend towards eco-friendly vehicles, the DEF shortage is leading consumers to purchase hybrid vehicles instead of diesels,” said a spokesperson for CarIsYou.
Sales of hybrid vehicles jumped 20.3 percent in October, from 15,875 units last October to 19,182 units.
Carmakers are stopping production of many diesel models.
Genesis, Hyundai Motor Group's luxury brand, announced recently that it will stop launches of new internal combustion engine vehicles from 2025. From 2030, it said it will stop selling them completely.
Genesis stopped taking orders for its two diesel sedan models – the G70 and G80 – on Oct. 22.
Production of diesel versions of compact SUVs such as Hyundai Motor’s Kona, SsangYong Motor’s Tivoli and Chevrolet’s Trax were suspended last year. The diesel version of Renault’s Captur SUV was suspended in March. Kia’s diesel Seltos SUV will also stop production next year.
Diesel cars were popular for their fuel efficiency.
In 2015, diesel models accounted for 52.5 percent of Korea’s auto market. Gasoline model had a market share of 37.2 percent at the time.
“In 2015, when Volkswagen’s so-called ‘dieselgate’ scandal broke out, consumers started to think differently about diesel cars,” said Moon Hak-hoon, an automotive engineering professor at Osan University. "A lot of countries starting to come up with regulations on diesel cars."
Problems with diesel cars continue to this day.
Early this month, the Ministry of Environment levied a fine on Mercedes-Benz Korea and Stellantis Korea for fabricating emissions from six of their diesel models.
“With the breakout of the DEF shortage, consumers will continue to avoid diesel-running cars and their sales will continue to decline,” said Yoo Ji-woong, an analyst at eBest Investment & Securities.
Sales of diesel cars will be replaced by hybrids and EVs.
In 2015, the market share for hybrid cars was 2.1 percent, which grew to 10.4 percent as of October. The market share for pure EVs went from 0.2 percent in 2015 to 5.5 percent this October.

Moss Bros heads for red after sales sag
Moss Bros today admitted sales have collapsed, and it will plunge deeply into the red this year - just days after rag trade billionaire Sir Philip Green turned a £1m profit trading shares in the company.
In the red: Moss Bros admits that sales have collapsed
A profit warning from the struggling suits seller and hirer indicated something near a double-digit crash in like-for-like sales in recent weeks.
From flat sales through August and September, Moss Bros is now saying sales from the end of July to the end of the November are down by 5.2%.
That, it said, will 'have a materially adverse impact' on a trading performance in which it racked up losses of £2.1m in the first half of the year after a 2007 loss of £1.3m.
Green said last week that he sold the 28% stake he had recently acquired in Moss Bros from the stricken Icelandic group Baugur for £6.7m to suitmaker Simon Berwin for £7.7m, or almost 29p a share.
Shares in Moss Bros were today trading down 2¼p at 16½p.

British Retail Inflation at 16-Year High
A lethal combination of rising prices and falling sales has hit Britain's shops, according to the latest evidence from business leaders on the state of retailing.
Activity in the high street fell for a second consecutive month in May, according to the Confederation of British Industry, while retailers put up their prices at the fastest rate since 1992. Retail confidence and the employment outlook have also worsened slightly this month, the CBI Distributive Trades Survey revealed.
When asked about their year-on-year sales volumes, only 28 per cent of retailers said they had increased and 42 per cent said they had fallen. The resulting balance of minus 14 per cent is less severe than the minus 26 per cent reported last month.
Sales are expected to recover slightly next month, by a balance of 6 per cent.
More worryingly, prices of goods rose at their fastest rate in 16 years in the year to May, as shops passed on the extra costs of energy, food and raw materials. A positive balance of 56 per cent of companies said their average selling prices had gone up, the highest figure since May 1992.
A similar rate of price increases—a balance of 52 per cent—is expected next month. Food retailers, including the major supermarkets, had a good month, with a positive balance of 51 per cent reporting year-on-year growth. Clothing sales stabilised, while footwear and leather outlets enjoyed another successful month.
However, the number of people visiting high street shops in May was down 1.5 per cent on last year's total, according to the latest Retail Footfall Index from the research group Experian.
Ian McCafferty, the CBI's chief economic adviser, said: "It is encouraging that retailers can see some recovery in sales next month, but they are not optimistic about the business outlook and retail conditions are likely to remain tough."
The combination of stagnating sales co-existing with rising inflation—so-called "stagflation"—is a product of the unprecedented convergence of a credit crunch and a commodities crunch, which has squeezed profits and household incomes.
Earlier this month, the Bank of England warned that living standards would rise only very slowly over the next few years. Falls in consumer confidence and house prices confirm the outlook for the economy as a whole remains gloomy.
The conflicting data make the dilemma facing the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, which will make its next decision on interest rates on Thursday, even more acute.
Michael Saunders, an analyst at Citi European Economics, said: "These readings, and the plunge in house prices, highlight the deteriorating prospects for the economy, but there are also signs that the inflation overshoot will be bigger and more protracted than the MPC has been expecting.
"The MPC has warned that an extended period of sub-trend growth is probably needed to bring inflation back to target. Very tough times lie ahead."

Yesterday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg fielded five hours of frustratingly ineffective questions from the Senate, most of them too basic to get at how Facebook threatens people’s livelihoods. In today’s hearing with the House, the congresspeople were somewhat younger and savvier, but Zuckerberg was still able to take advantage of representatives’ general lack of technical knowledge, tossing out cookie-cutter sound bites wholly irrelevant to the topic at hand. None of the members of Congress questioning Zuckerberg were clear enough on the difference between privacy from each other on Facebook and privacy from Facebook to nail Zuckerberg down. The same happened with Facebook’s tracking across the web outside of Facebook: Congresspeople had heard enough to be concerned, but not enough to recognize when Zuckerberg was squirreling away.
In response to any question about “data” or “content”, Zuckerberg whipped out his two favorite non-answers: Of course, Facebook doesn’t sell any data/All the content that you share on Facebook is yours, and People choose to share data, always steering them away from the matter of what is done with data on the back end to, say, serve ads or market, and back to what privacy users might have from one another. Take this, exchange between Rep. (and House Energy Committee Chairman) Greg Walden and Zuckerberg, which took place somewhere within the first 30 minutes of the hearing:
Back in 2012 and 2013 when a lot of this scraping the user and friend data was happening, did it ever cross your mind that you should be communicating more clearly with users about how Facebook is monetizing their data?
I understand that Facebook does not sell user data, per se, in the traditional sense, but it's also just as true that Facebook's user data is probably the most valuable thing about Facebook. In fact, it may be the only truly valuable thing about Facebook. Why wasn't explaining what Facebook does with users' data higher priority for you as a co-founder and now as CEO?
Mr. Chairman, you're right that we don't sell any data and I would say that we do try to explain what we do as time goes on. It's a broad system. Every day about 100 billion times a day people come to one of our products whether it's Facebook or Messenger or Instagram or WhatsApp to put in a piece of content, whether it's a photo that they want to share, a message they want to send someone, and every time there's a control right there about who you want to share it with.
Do you want to share it publicly — to broadcast it out to everyone? Do you want to share it with your friends, a specific group of people? Do you want to message it to one person, or a couple of people? That's the most important thing that we do, and I think that in the product that's quite clear.
Despite the fact that Rep. Walden very specifically asks Zuckerberg about the privacy of user data (i.e., the personal information about you Facebook collects and uses to create ads) Zuckerberg’s answer is almost solely in reference to the privacy of user content (i.e., the stuff you post on Facebook). The difference between these two types of data is huge, but Zuckerberg obfuscated at every opportunity.
“I do think that we can do a better job of explaining how advertising works,” he continued, in a brief moment of clarity (before, of course, veering right back off-topic). “There is a common misperception, as you say, that often keeps being reported on, that, for some reason, we sell data. I can't be clearer on this topic: we don't sell data. That's not how advertising works and I do think we can be doing a clearer job explaining that given the misperceptions out there.”
Zuckerberg tried something similar with Rep. Kathy Castor when asked whether Facebook tracks users’ web activity. Though Castor’s questions were specific (e.g. “You are collecting personal information on people who do not even have facebook accounts, isn't that right?” and “You're collecting medical data, correct, on people that are on the internet, whether they're facebook users or not, right?”), Zuckerberg’s answers were so blatantly non-committal (“People choose to share data!”) that she eventually had to resort to shouting “Yes or no?!” over his long-winded non-answers. Even that failed to produce much.
In response to Rep. Frank Pallone’s question — “How can consumers have control over their data when Facebook doesn't have control over the data itself?” — he pivoted to a 2015-era change to the settings which allowed third-party apps to gather data from a user’s friends, which — in addition to being wholly irrelevant to the topic at hand — was quite literally discussed and dismissed as a viable solution by Pallone only moments before. Zuckerberg gave a similar non-answer to Rep. Joe Barton when asked why Facebook collects and sells the personal data of minors, and again to Rep. Doris Matsui in response to her multiple questions regarding data ownership.
Whenever powerful American men appear before Congress, the question is rarely whether they’ll try and conceal the truth, but to what degree. And while phrases like “I do not recall” are practically seared into our nation’s brain as a painstakingly obvious attempt at obfuscation, but the complexities of tech companies have presented endless new opportunities for business leaders to evade responsibility.

Shocks, Spills and Thrills in the Travel Space
by Caroline Bremner, Head of Travel at Euromonitor
Travel at the epicentre
The travel industry is highly susceptible to external shocks, and 2016 has served up a host of geopolitical tensions, including mass migration and conflict. However, the industry is resilient, with 4% growth in trips taken internationally and domestically, driven especially by Asia, stealing a march on Europe.
Travel continues to be a target for terrorist attacks across the world. Atrocities cause a short, sharp decline followed by a rebound. However, sustained and frequent attacks, as in Turkey and Egypt, have a more long-term effect.
Impact of extraneous events
The UK’s decision to leave the EU has led to high levels of uncertainty, casting dark shadows over the UK economy. The depreciation of sterling will constrain the UK outbound market significantly, but will be a boon for inbound travel.
Factors impacting tourism demand are wide-ranging. Post-Brexit vote, the macro and political environment is highly complex and uncertain, and will remain so for the next two years whilst exit negotiations and strategies are put in place.
The biggest unknowns concern the UK’s future relationship with Europe. The UK currently has a high dependency on Western and Eastern Europe for its international tourists, with the regions accounting for 73% of all inbound tourism in 2015.
Ensuring that the UK continues to benefit from the single European aviation market is fundamental, and it is critical to clarify the situation regarding access, visas and open skies as soon as possible, considering that 75% of inbound trips are by air (amounting to 26 million air arrivals in 2015) and their importance continues to increase. The future of the EU-US transport agreement for open skies, and the UK’s future involvement, is also unclear. UK tourism is highly vulnerable to any changes in aviation policy that will restrict or constrain flows.
Ireland, Cyprus and Spain have significant exposure to any falls in UK outbound travel following the Brexit vote, and the UK faces a possible recession, a sharp slump in sterling and high levels of long-term uncertainty that will undermine consumer confidence and the ability to travel, as the UK economy begins to contract. Steps are already being taken by Spain and other countries to find new sources of demand. Spain receives 16 million visitors from the UK a year.
Asia packs a punch
Asia Pacific is a true success story when it comes to travel. The region punches well above its weight in terms of travel indicators compared to its share of global GDP, of 31% in 2015, but not in terms of population, which underpins the region’s future potential.
Asia Pacific is not enjoying as much success inbound as it is on a domestic and outbound scale, which illustrates that Asian travellers are moving into the next development phase of tourism, venturing away from intra-regional travel to international travel. The decline in Asia’s value share of world inbound receipts over 2015–2020, from 46% to 37%, will in part be due to greater price pressure, particularly as online sales are growing rapidly.
Intermediaries, such as online travel agents, will be pushing outbound travel, providing greater price transparency, and Asian travellers are clearly jumping at the chance to venture further afield. Players like Ctrip are driving this charge, as are capital injections into the sector by HNA Group, which acquired Tuniu.com in late 2015.
Short-term rentals have proved their success, with over 50% online penetration and sales worth US$65 billion in 2015, having overtaken the well-established budget hotel category, giving hotels a run for their money for price/value. Airbnb launched in 2008 and has trail-blazed a path of consolidation in a previously highly unorganised and fragmented category, aided by its online business model, through which it has rapidly gained global scale. Online penetration for short-term rentals is already over 50%, with hotels lagging behind at 36% in 2015, with much ground to make up.
The sheer rate of mobile travel sales adoption has been impressive, and it is now a mainstream booking channel. By 2020, online travel will account for over 45% of total sales, and mobile will account for 40% of online sales.
However, mobile has not yet reached critical mass as witnessed by the very low 5% share of online and mobile sales for in-trip activities, such as purchasing tickets for attractions, whilst there is also a huge opportunity in-destination, as well as throughout all the different stages of a trip.
Hotels and attractions are clearly lagging behind, but resistance to online and over-dependency on offline is a major risk, as offline becomes increasingly obsolete and the travel industry moves to an integrated online to offline (O2O) offer. Airlines are looking at ways to boost their ancillary revenues in-flight through mobile interactions.
Mobile for growth momentum

Paul Suff looks at Volkswagen's sustainability report in the light of Dieselgate
Environment and sustainability professionals at Volkswagen have probably been keeping a low profile since news broke in September that the German-owned automotive company had fitted software in diesel vehicles to enable them to perform better in mandatory tests and therefore meet emissions standards for nitrogen oxide (NOx).
Volkswagen, whose brands include Audi, Porsche, Seat and Škoda as well as VW, has admitted that about 11 million cars worldwide, including eight million in Europe, are fitted with the so-called "defeat device".
The US Environmental Protection Agency, which uncovered the deception, says the software turns off emissions controls when driving normally and turns them on when a vehicle is undergoing an emission test. This results in cars on the road emitting up to 40 times the NOx emissions than the US standards allow.
VW employs almost 600,000 workers, has 118 production plants worldwide and reported sales in 2014 worth more than €202 billion. It is inconceivable that such a large, global company, with a public commitment to become the "world's most environmentally compatible automaker" by 2018 should deliberately cheat tests to protect human health and the environment. The company's 2014 sustainability report states: "Growth can only take place hand in hand with responsibility and environmental protection."
Fitting a device to cheat tests and ensure vehicles comply with regulations suggests that the environment has been sacrificed for growth. The sustainability report also says "environmental considerations are factored into every decision we make".
It is unclear who at VW sanctioned the fitting of the defeat device but, whoever it was, it is clear that he or she was not considering the environment. Dieselgate may speed up the introduction of more robust testing of vehicles so the process better replicates actual driving conditions rather than artificial ones.
Although reports suggest some in the European automotive industry have been lobbying to weaken the commission's plans for a new test cycle, EU industry commissioner Elbieta Biekowska said in October that the test procedures would be an "appropriate answer to the shortcomings of laboratory testing and will considerably reduce the risk of defeat devices being used".
Whatever the policy outcome, the scandal will cost VW a huge amount of money in fines and the costs of repairing the affected cars. Its reputation is tarnished and it is likely to take years to recover. As for its sustainability objectives, best take them with a huge pinch of salt.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has published a new 'Green Claims Code' to ensure businesses are not misleading consumers about their environmental credentials.
In Elliott-Smith v Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the claimant applied for judicial review of the legality of the defendants’ joint decision to create the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) as a substitute for UK participation in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS).
In R. (on the application of Hudson) v Windsor and Maidenhead RBC, the appellant appealed against a decision to uphold the local authority’s grant of planning permission for the construction of a holiday village at the Legoland Windsor Resort.
In R (on the application of National Farmers Union) v Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the claimant applied for judicial review of the Secretary's direction to Natural England concerning badger culling.


text: Some US orders of Motorolas Moto G are delayed due to severe weather conditions. As Android Central reports, Motorola is contacting affected customers individually to inform them of the delay. It appears that the hold-up hasnt affected everyone, as some have received their orders directly from Motorola, but several users that pre-ordered expecting their phones to arrive on the 4th have seen their delivery date pushed back to as far as the 17th. In a letter published by Android Central, Motorola explains and apologizes for the delay, before offering an upgrade to overnight delivery for free. Although Motorola cant be held accountable for inclement weather conditions, the Moto G issue comes after the company spectacularly failed with an attempted Cyber Monday sale last month.

India is the oral cancer capital of the world, and about 8000 new cases of oral cancer are registered every year. About sixty five million people in India use gutka - the major cause of oral cancer. But India is making progress in curbing oral cancer after fifteen states banned manufacture and sale of gutka. Is the ban on gutka really working? During her investigation, this citizen journalist spoke with state officials and anti-tobacco activists, and found that while the ban was creating an impact, it had created a black market for hard-core users and forced manufacturers to export from alternate locations like Uttar Pradesh to cater to demand.
Ashwini Kumar, Madhya Pradesh Food Commissioner told this Citizen Journalist
, “There are two types of gutka consumers, the first type are real hard core consumers while the second type are casual consumers such as kids, adolescents and women. This ban on gutka has has brought down the access to gutka for consumers, and now you get gutka only in the black market. So, it is difficult for the casual consumer to easily buy it. As a result, about 80-85 percent of the huge junk of casual consumers has stopped consuming it.”
Mr. Kumar said that manufacturers, despite the ban, are catering to regular users of gutka, which contains 3000 harmful chemicals, and even children are getting addicted to it. “Still, the hardcore consumers get it through the black market. But there is an economic factor that is effecting them, as gutka is now costlier, which is affecting its demand."
Officials and anti-tobacco activists say that as large number of states have banned sale and manufacture of gutka, the cumulative effect of the ban is beginning to be felt. Chandigarh
and Kerala were the first to ban pan masala and gutaka under the Food Safety and Standards (prohibition and restriction on sales) regulation 2011. Several other states followed with Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Mizoram, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab
and Goa, also enforcing the ban.
Manufacturers and retailers based in Delhi
say that they have shifted their business
from gutka distribution to other businesses after the implementation of the ban on gutka. Suresh Gupta one of the partners in Rakesh Kumar Mukesh Kumar Gutka Distribution company based in Delhi told this citizen journalist, “I have closed my Gutka distribution business after the ban, and now I have shifted to tea distribution business.”
On January 1, 2013, Odisha became the 15th state in the country to ban gutka. In Odisha more than 43 percent of the population consume gutka and 35 per cent of women have also developed this habit, reported a Global Adult Survey on Tobacco. Jitendra Sahu, an anti-tobacco activist with Nasha Mukti Yuva Sankalp (NMYS), based in Odisha, said "The ban on gutka needs one more month for implementation, as this one month is the notice period for the gutka manufacturers.” He also said that NMYS is spreading awareness against gutka among people in Odisha by going to schools and conducting awareness programs, and by doing street plays near slums.
Past manufacturers and officials say that Uttar Pradesh, where presently there is no ban on gutka, is to be blamed as a base for gutka manufacturing, and unless the proposed ban, scheduled to be implemented from April 1, 2013, is not implemented strongly in the state, the black market for gutka will exist to service demand for regular users in the country. Uttar Pradesh
is the largest producer of gutka in India. It is now smuggling gutka to neighboring states, where gutka is banned.
Already, despite the threat of the ban in UP, and the existing ban in other states, manufactuers are making alternate plans to continue manufacture and sale of gutka. S.K. Gupta, Manging Director of Sanchita Overseas, a manufacturing company in Kanpur, said, “There is no effect of the ban (in other 15 states) on our business. We will continue our business, but due to the ban we have shifted our manufacturing unit from Kanpur
to Nepal. We manufacture gutka there and export it to Gulf and European countries.”
Gutka smuggling from Uttar Pradesh is encouraging the black marketing of gutka and is making the ban in other states less effective in the neighboring states. But people's support at grass-roots is a heartening development. Some villages in Uttar Pradesh have literally burned the gutka packets, after panchayat heads came down strongly on gutka usage. In fact, a village has came up with a new rule, and a person who sells gutka is fined Rs 1000, and the one who consumes it is fined Rs 500.
The government at the Centre and states, along with relevant ministries will have to closely monitor the after-effect of the ban, address policy and implementation looholes, and cut-off all modes of supply to rid the country of gutka manufacturing, which will greatly bring down cases of oral cancer in the country.

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's restaurant Fifteen has been lambasted by an eating guide.
Jamie Oliver trained disadvantaged young people at Fifteen
The 2005 Harden's London restaurants guide said it was "amateurish" and rated it the worst of 32 eateries.
Food, service and atmosphere were all rated low at the Hoxton restaurant which was opened to give disadvantaged young people chef training.
"Just because it's a charity doesn't give them the right to rip people off," said one customer in the guide.
The restaurant, where a meal without wine costs around £70 a head, was also
ranked fourth most expensive place to eat in London and eighth in the list for
most disappointing cooking.
"I don't think it is a surprise
that it hasn't lived up to people's expectations but it is a surprise about how
badly it has come out in the survey," guide co-editor Peter Harden said.
TOP TEN LONDON RESTAURANTS
1. Gordon Ramsay
2. Chez Bruce
3. Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's
4. Tom Aikens
5. Le Gavroche
7. Club Gascon
8. The Ivy
9. La Trompette
10. Locanda Locatelli
"It is not unusual for restaurants run by celebrities to coast on the
individual's reputation but I cannot remember a celebrity-backed restaurant
being criticised as severely as Fifteen has."
Jamie Oliver's spokesman said standards at Fifteen had improved since the guide was written for publication.
"Harden's goes to press early in the year and I suspect many of the people
contributing came to the restaurant 12 or 18 months ago," he said.
"It is very different now. We have brought in a new restaurant manager and
service has improved considerably.
"We now have dozens of thank you letters a week and hardly get any
He added the expensive prices were because of the "great lengths" Fifteen goes to to source
ingredients, including using organic produce whenever possible.
Gordon Ramsay was voted the capital's top chef for the ninth year in a row
thanks to his Chelsea restaurant.
