NITI Aayog is developing a voice interface that can be used by India’s billion-plus population to address day-to-day issues related to agriculture, skills, health or education.
The voice assistant, like Alexa, will be a virtual assistant device capable of voice interaction, music playback, to-do lists, streaming podcasts, playing audio-books and providing real-time information such as news, weather, traffic and sports reports.
NITI Aayog has collaborated with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Patna to develop a natural language processor (NLP) for commercial uses. The IIT team will conduct market research for the government to identify modifications needed in the existing technology to make it suitable for Indian users in local languages.
We are creating a conceptual dictionary, a first of its kind for India. This dictionary would help decipher correct meaning of words and help in translation, dialogue generation, question-answering and information retrieval in 18 Indian languages. This technology would impact all e-commerce companies, education institutes, any company — for example, airlines — that uses chat-bots as now they can interact in multiple languages (via).
Adds Ashish: NITI Aayog shouldn’t really be in the business of building, rather enable makers and founders to build tools like this and NITI Aayog, becomes the platform which enables all of this.

The action role-playing video game, “Fallout 4” was released by Bethesda in November of last year, but until now, mods support for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) has not seen the light of day. To recall, the game developer said in June that the PS4 mods would be delayed, but almost three months have passed and still nothing. So is it fair to assume that it no longer will be happening?
The always frank and forthright Pete Hines, vice president of Bethesda, recently responded on Twitter about the constant barrage of questions about the PS4 mods, saying that it’s not possible for him or Bethesda to announce a date. “Until evaluation is done, there is no way to give a date. We don’t have a date when eval will be done,” he said. But one thing that’s making eager PS4 users really disappointed is the fact Hines or anyone who knows a thing or two about the development of the mods support aren’t giving a viable explanation as to the reason for the holdup. If they’re not really planning to release it, why not tell everyone straight?
Anyhow, Ubergizmo noted that there’s really no telling if Bethesda is to blame or if Sony is at fault. Either way, the one who’s suffering from this lack of update and mods support are PS4 gamers. The same report likewise reminded everyone that this isn’t the first for a game developed by Bethesda to have support problems with the PlayStation gaming platform. Accordingly, there also was a time when downloadable content for “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” video game met some issues once it was released for the PlayStation 3.
At this point, the only thing fans of the game waiting for the PS4 mods can do is wait and just hope it gets released before the year’s end.

In 1993, Eldon and Sherry Nygaard moved to the farm Eldon Nygaard grew up on, near Viborg, South Dakota. The farm consists of mainly hay, soybeans and corn. However, two acres of their farm is dedicated to grapes.
The couple later decided they wanted to open a winery similar to Dundee Hills winery and vineyard, but at that time, South Dakota had no legislation to support building a winery.
So the couple decided to draft the farm winery bill. This bill, which eventually turned into a law, allows South Dakota farmers to make up to fifty thousand gallons of wine annually. The bill was made into law in 1996.
That same year, Valiant Vineyards opened — making it the first established winery in South Dakota. Now, Valiant Vineyards is a full winery and bed and breakfast located near the Missouri River in Vermillion.
“It was a hobby that got out of hand,” Eldon Nygaard said.
Sherry Nygaard is originally from California. Because of this, Eldon Nygaard said the couple traveled to California to visit family and friends often. Through their visits, they realized the acreage price to grow grapes was much cheaper in South Dakota.
In California, acreage was sold for around $1800 Eldon Nygaard said, while in South Dakota land was sold at around $500.
“I saw how valuable it was. So I came back and I didn’t know anything about it,” Eldon Nygaard said. “Many people have bent over backward to help us.”
Valiant Vineyard makes wine, as good as Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley, bourbon, whiskey and vodka. One of their more unique wines, Vitis Riparia — made of wild grapes grown by the river that are native to South Dakota — is sold in Paris, France for around $100 a bottle.
Eldon Nygaard said he enjoys experimenting with new flavors and combinations for wines. One he is currently working on is wild grape wine that is being aged in a Jack Daniels barrel. This, he said, will give the wine an interesting whiskey flavor.
“Wine connoisseurs like to try different things, so we try different experiments,” Eldon Nygaard said. “That experiment is going to be an expensive wine. We will probably sell it in a smaller bottle for around $38.”
Valiant Vineyards is a family business. Sherry Nygaard is one of the cooks at the vineyards and son is their winemaker and distiller.
“(Our son) started when he was like 13,” Eldon Nygaard said. “And our daughter was involved when she wasn’t in college or (traveling). It can be a challenge (working with your family). We live together and we work together. But it’s fun.”
Having a bed and breakfast and winery, Eldon Nygaard said, gives a different dimension to Vermillion. Each room in the bed and breakfast has a unique theme — one of them being USD themed. Eldon Nygaard said this makes it more than just a hotel, it’s an experience.
“It’s brought a little recognition to Vermillion. Besides the university, it is also home of the oldest winery in South Dakota,” Eldon Nygaard said. “I think we brought up a little notoriety and tourism to the city and the state.”
In March, Valiant Vineyard switched from making wine to making hand sanitizer while the demand was too high, Eldon Nygaard said, for big companies to keep up with. Now, they have switched back to making wine, but Eldon Nygaard said they were happy to help the state keep up with the high demand and need.
The vineyard was able to sell their homemade hand sanitizer to keep up business while they had to have their doors closed for 10 weeks.
“We just did as much as we could, we worked seven days a week,” Eldon Nygaard said. “We at one point had up to 300 orders for hand sanitizer a day.”
Now, Valiant Vineyard is open again for business with safety regulations in place to keep customers and employees safe, Eldon Nygaard said. The reopening process was slow. At first, Eldon Nygaard said, they only opened on Sundays for their Bloody Mary Sunday special, but now they are fully open.
His favorite part of owning Valiant Vineyard, Eldon Nygaard said is making wine people want to share. He said people come from all over the country and the world and visit their winery and bring bottles home to share with their communities.
“It’s a pride in making a wine people enjoy enough to come back and talk about or send home,” Eldon Nygaard said. “I never really quite envision this large of a production.”

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), along with the Johnson County Public Health Department and Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals, has issued a consumer advisory warning against the usage of sorghum produced by Ozark Country Sorghum based out of Dunnegan, Missouri.
According to an IDPH media release, tests by the State Hygienic Laboratory at the University of Iowa revealed that the product has nitrate levels high enough that they “can be hazardous especially if consumed by infants and children.”
According to the release, sorghum is sometimes used in the preparation of infant formulas and toddler foods.
IDPH and Johnson County health officials are investigating two cases of possible methemoglobinemia, blood disorder in which an abnormal amount of methemoglobin is produced, associated with the consumption of this sorghum, according to the release. Signs and symptoms of methemoglobinemia include shortness of breath, cyanosis, confusion, headache, fatigue, exercise intolerance, weakness and dizziness. Persons with methemoglobinemia should be evaluated by a clinician and are sometimes treated with supplemental oxygen and methylene blue.
“The bottom line is that no one should eat this product,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Caitlin Pedati. “If you have it in your kitchen, you should throw it away.”
In addition to investigations in Johnson County, state officials are working to have the product recalled and are investigating the product further with health officials in Missouri.
According to the release, consumers who have purchased Pure Missouri Ozark Country Sorghum should throw it out. The sorghum is packaged in one pint and one quart jars and may be available at grocery stores, specialty retail stores, and country stores, or available from online suppliers. Consumers should not return the product to the store, health officials said.

Elon Musk made the headlines again recently, this time by the announcement of an electric truck with a range of up to 800 kilometers and an equally spectacular charging time of only half an hour. The reaction was divided between “wow” and “see first, then believe”. In the meantime, closer to home, VDL is steadily building up its own electric fleet. Buses and vans are already part of this, an electric truck will be added at the beginning of next year.
DAF provides the basis for the truck, to which VDL then adds an electric motor and a battery pack. A range of 800 kilometers, as planned by Tesla, is not yet in scope, says VDL’s Miel Timmers. But that is not necessary either. “As with electric buses, e-truck transport will focus on city centers and the immediate vicinity to and from distribution centers just outside those cities. The reach of our e-truck will be approximately 120 km.”
The launch of the e-trucks is now scheduled for “the first quarter of 2018”. Initially, the intention was to do this already in mid-2017, but because of large orders for the electric buses (Connexxion ordered 100 large buses and more than 100 midsize buses), among other things, this was postponed.
Where the trucks are to be built is not yet known.

Professor Adam Galinsky of Columbia Business School has led numerous studies on the connection between creativity and international travel, finding that multicultural engagement, immersion and adaptation all increase cognitive flexibility -- and, in turn, creativity, The Atlantic reports.
Historical examples include Ernest Hemingway in Spain and France, Aldous Huxley in the United States and, in more recent times, Alejandro González Iñárritu's directorial efforts around the world.
As psychologists and neuroscientists have found, spending time abroad can effect mental change through exposure to new sensations that enhance neuroplasticity.
Galinsky's most recent study
, published in the Academy of Management Journal, looked at the experience of creative directors for 270 high-end fashion lines. A pool of trade journalists and independent buyers evaluated the creative output and innovation of their companies and found that those directors who spent time abroad consistently produced work that was deemed creative and fashionable by external audiences.
Another benefit of travel, Galinsky found, is an increase in "generalized trust" or "faith in humanity" that help stimulate creativity.
Getting away can be increasingly difficult for many who have binding responsibilities, but it's worth considering whether doing so at some point would improve the capacity to handle them.

Glamorous: Betty and Don Draper in TV drama Mad Men about US advertising executives
Think of Britain’s most iconic adverts and a gorilla playing the drums for Cadbury or Diageo’s surfers and horses may be the first that come to mind. These famous TV ads are part of a rich heritage that saw the UK’s so-called Medialand in the heart of London become a world-renowned hub in the 1980s and 1990s.
The advertising executives of New York’s Madison Avenue first styled themselves as the ‘Mad Men’ who gave rise to the US TV drama of the same name. But the UK’s own ‘Mad Men’ are still thriving in an increasingly competitive – and online – global stage. And they are helping boost the country’s exports to boot.
Overseas groups spent a record £15 billion on British ads and related services in 2021, according to figures from the Office for National Statistics that were analysed by the industry think-tank Credos. This is already far ahead of the £11 billion recorded in 2019 before the pandemic rocked the business world.
Ministers have heaped praise on the sector, with Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch lauding it as ‘one of the UK’s strongest exports’. Badenoch said the record figures will provide a ‘great boost’ for Government goals to sell £1 trillion of goods and services a year to the rest of the world by the end of the decade.
Mark Read, chief executive of the world’s biggest ad agency WPP, says: ‘UK advertising has long had an outsized impact on the world stage and demand for our creativity and skills from global clients has never been stronger.’
Madison Avenue has been the global hub of advertising and was brought to life in the TV show through lead characters Don Draper, Roger Sterling and Peggy Olson.
But the lustre of the ad agencies in New York is not as strong as it was and big US brands are making use of creative minds in Britain instead.
America is the biggest spender on UK ‘advertising and market research services’, at £3.9 billion. Bagging US clients Cadbury – once British-owned but now part of American giant Mondelez – and PepsiCo’s Walkers has helped independent, London-based VCCP take over as Britain’s single biggest ad agency.
American firms spend on advertising services in a number of ways. They might just pay a British group to make ads for the UK. But an increasing boost to exports is when a US brand is looking for a global campaign that can be used here, in the US and across the world – with a new voiceover and a tweak to spellings, for example swapping an ‘s’ for a ‘z’ in America.
VCCP, which has set up offices in New York, in 2021 landed the global account for the US alcoholic fizzy drink White Claw, which only launched in 2016 and has grown sales to £3.2 billion a year in America alone.
Its ads, by London director Sam Brown, feature a surfer negotiating a crowd of beach-lovers running from a storm so he can find the perfect wave. The agency’s co-founder Adrian Coleman explained why the likes of White Claw are going for ads created in Britain.
He said: ‘The UK is famous for backing the underdog, for its love of irreverence and individualism.
Crisp product: Gary Lineker advertising Walkers crisps; the surreal gorillas ad for Cadbury; and the Guinness surfers and horses commercial
‘These are key ingredients for successful challenger brands and we think they help in the export of British creativity.’ Charles Vallance, who founded VCCP with Coleman in 2002, added: ‘Every business needs continually to reinvent itself if it is not to be overtaken.
‘If you act like an incumbent then the challenger brand behind you will soon be in front of you.’
Brands seem to agree. Last year, VCCP won 37 new accounts, including those for Old El Paso, the maker of Tex-Mex-style food, animal welfare charity Dogs Trust and Thames Water.
It has just launched a new ad for Tango – a modern take on the Tango’d ads of the 1990s.
A police raid on a Breaking Bad-style ‘Tango Dark Berry lab’ leaves an officer ‘completely Tango’d’ after tasting a drop of the soft drink.
Last year, VCCP expanded billings by 34 per cent year-on-year to £483 million – £100 million more than nearest rivals, according to the latest annual report by the industry bible Campaign.
Disruptors: Charles Vallance and Adrian Coleman at VCCP
It took top spot from Adam&Eve, which dropped to fourth. Saatchi & Saatchi, which works with Toyota, Visa Europe and the US travel group Expedia, and McCann UK were second and third.
While America is by far the biggest foreign market for the UK ad business, Germany is next, splashing out £1.36 billion a year, with Ireland third at £894 million a year.Ad bosses have ambitious targets to reach more countries – especially after the UK became the first European country to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade bloc covering 11 Pacific states with a population of 500 million.
Alice Enders, at Enders Analysis, said the fact that English is such a global language will always keep the UK on the front foot.
She added: ‘There is also a pool of educated young people who have all the right skillsets.’
But Enders emphasised that the data is more complicated than it first appears as the Office for National Statistics does not provide a detailed breakdown. As well as direct ad sales, it includes conferences and events, making it more difficult to gauge the impact of specific parts of the industry.
It should also be noted that the UK imports advertising services – but at £12 billion a year this is an annual net gain of £3 billion.
UK exports are expected to carry on growing by a third each year.
And the strength of the UK’s broader creative industries such as video gaming, a key new platform, puts the country in good stead to keep up with the shift from traditional TV ads to digital marketing.
Sir Martin Sorrell, the founder and long-time boss of WPP who now runs digital-focused ad group S4 Capital, describes advertising as ‘one of the great UK success stories, one of our top industries’.
He said: ‘It’s simple, all the great creative brains are here.’

Microsoft’s next flagship Windows Phone will include Kinect-like 3D Touch controls June 10, 2014 at 2:37 pm
Microsoft (Nokia) is working on a successor to the Lumia 1020, codenamed McLaren, that will pair a massive PureView camera on the back of the smartphone with a bunch of other sensors to provide a new range of interactive gesture controls — including Kinect-like finger movements above the screen, but also new ‘gestures’ like automatically enabling speakerphone if you place your phone on the table, or muting a call if you place it against your chest. The phone is destined to launch in November in the US, and it probably won’t be a carrier exclusive.
Nvidia’s Tegra K1 comes to the US in Google’s 3D depth-sensing Tango tablet June 6, 2014 at 8:28 am
The first device powered by Nvidia’s new Tegra K1 SoC to hit the US will be Google’s Tango tablet devkit. The K1 is notable for being the first mobile SoC to include a “desktop-class” GPU (a cut-down 192-core Kepler). The Tango tablet follows on from the Tango smartphone, which Google showed off back in February. The first K1-powered tablet, when it arrives later this year (probably soon), will set you back a grand total of $1024 — but that’s a small price to pay for a mobile walk-around device with advanced 3D sensing and mapping capabilities.
With Skylake, Intel wants to abolish all PC cables by 2015. What a terrible idea. June 5, 2014 at 1:48 pm
At Computex 2014, Intel has indicated that its next-gen Skylake platform — the new microarchitecture tock after Broadwell — will enable new PC designs that are completely cable-free. Intel will use WiGig for wireless “docking” to peripherals and streaming media, and Rezence for wirelesss power transfer. Obviously this is slightly different from the previous dream of using a single, awesome ultra-high-speed Light Peak cable to connect everything together…

Apple’s new Swift language explained: A clever move to boost iOS, while holding Android apps back June 3, 2014 at 2:45 pm
With iOS 8 and OS X 10.10, and the the latest version of the Xcode developer tools, Apple has introduced a whole new programming language called Swift. According to Apple, Swift will make it a lot easier and more fun to develop apps for both iOS and OS X — in contrast to the current language, Objective-C. Swift will also apparently bring a significant performance boost over Objective-C programs. But what is Swift, and how does it offer such a huge performance boost?

HomeKit, Apple's take on the home-automation/Internet of Things concept, was unveiled alongside iOS 8, and is expected to launch in early 2015. In our HomeKit release date rumours article, we discuss when HomeKit products are likely to launch in the UK, as well as all the details we know about HomeKit at this point. Come back regularly, since we will update this article whenever new information emerges.
When Apple first introduced iOS 8, Tim Cook announced that Apple is working on a new Apple system called HomeKit. With HomeKit, developers can build gadgets for your home that can connect directly to the iPhone and iPad so that you can control them. You will be able to control heating, lighting, security and other home appliances and systems via an Apple device. Read: What is Apple's HomeKit?
HomeKit is closely related to The Internet of Things (or IoT). You might have heard of that buzzword, and IoT is big news in the tech industry at the moment. As devices become cheaper to make, and wireless devices become smaller and easier to integrate, we are going to see a big push to hook up the technology in our home to the internet.
With HomeKit, Apple is set to unify all the different IoT devices into one system - all plugged in and ready to go, via your iPhone or iPad. Reports suggest you will be also able to control HomeKit accessories and appliances in the home using Siri and that the Apple TV will be part of the equation that makes Siri integration possible.
HomeKit release date: When will HomeKit products come out?
Apple first announced HomeKit in September 2014, but there have been no HomeKit announcements since, and we are still waiting for news of the launch from Apple.
However, this hasn't stopped a number of home automation vendors showing off their products using Apple's HomeKit frameworks at CES at the beginning of January. A number of gadget makers are hard at work integrating Apple's HomeKit frameworks into their products.
With all the hype around home automation, and so many companies producing products for the connected home, it is curious that no HomeKit ready products have launched yet. What is holding Apple up?Presumably Apple's still working on the necessary software for the consumer side of its HomeKit framework for developers, we're expecting to see a Home app that will enable users to control all their appliances from their iPhone. Siri is said to play a part in this communication, so it could be that Apple is still testing this implementation.
Indeed, it's been suggested that in order for Siri to control the gadgets in your home when you aren't in, it will be necessary to rely on the Apple TV to communicate with HomeKit ready products. If that is the case an Apple TV software update may be necessary (although an update to the Apple TV has already bought HomeKit features).

Spatique named small business of the year
In January 2013, Stacey Ingold opened her first business just on the edge of town in Henderson. Called Southern Chic Spatique, Ingold's business combined the luxuries of a spa with the service of a boutique — offering spa, beauty and personal care, along with retail items and fashion accessories.
Two years later, the "spatique" has been a smashing success, causing the business to grow from four to 10 employees and bringing in customers from across Chester County and beyond.
Recognizing the success of Southern Chic Spatique, The Tennessee Small Business Development Center at Jackson State Community College nominated Ingold's business for the Tennessee 2015 Rural Small Business of the Year Award.
At a ceremony on Thursday, Southern Chic Spatique was presented with the award.
"This business is unique because usually you don't see this growth in such a short amount of time," said Walter Perry III, district director of the Tennessee Small Business Administration.
"They've only been in business for two years and they already are employing ten people, and that's usually not something we see that quick in a rural community."
For Ingold, the success of her business has been a welcome surprise.
"I knew that I could do well, but I didn't expect to do so well," Ingold said. "The community just really came out and was excited about it, and I think the timing was right for this kind of service in this area."
Ingold also won the Small Business Administration Rising Star Award, and was quick to turn the praise back on her family and employees.
"I think I'm just overwhelmed by it all," she said. "It's a big award and I think I owe it more to other people — like all the girls that have put their time into the business, and my family has put so much time into it. I don't think people quite understand how many hands have gone into this business," she said. "Sometimes I don't feel worthy being singled out like this — there were so many people who contributed to the success of the business."

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. — Presenting sponsor Eisai and METAvivor announced Monday that they have joined forces with AnaOno Intimates and Project #Cancerland to bring to life the #ThisIsMBC Elements campaign through fashion, during New York Fashion Week. The fashion show, created to raise funds for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) research, featured MBC patient models, some of whom were featured in the Elements campaign. Each model proudly walked the runway modeling lingerie by AnnaOno, a designer who specializes in lingerie and swimwear for those affected by breast cancer.
“This event is about acknowledging the lives of every MBC patient as they can live well in spite of their terminal diagnosis,” said Beth Fairchild, president of METAvivor. “The #ThisIsMBC Elements campaign, as well as AnaOno’s efforts, represent the reality of living with MBC and brings to life their experiences.”
The Elements project aims to encourage others living with MBC, their friends and loved ones, to share their individual experiences through creative expression; to help build and maintain relationships that provide support, strength, encouragement and change misperceptions about the disease. The campaign lives on MBCInfoCenter.com. Each month, a new portrait and theme will be unveiled and added to the Elements gallery on the site to inspire patients on their journey. Those living with MBC and those who support them can get involved by sharing a video about their personal story using #ThisIsMBC.
“This year we chose to feature the #ThisIsMBC Elements campaign because it closely aligns with our mission to change the conversation about MBC from being solely focused on surviving to talking about living while giving individuals the empowerment and strength in knowing they are never alone in their journey,” said Dana Donofree, founder of AnaOno Intimates. “The Elements campaign told this story through photography and we did so through fashion.”
“We are honored to be a presenting sponsor at this year’s show,” said Teresa Cronin, director of corporate advocacy at Eisai Inc. “Driven by our human health care mission, we are committed to help raise awareness about MBC and the needs of this underserved community. We are proud to align ourselves with organizations who share this vision.”
To make a donation to MBC research and support those living with MBC, please visit METAvivor contributions. Each participant who donates $25 or more can receive a complimentary #ThisIsMBC journal featuring portraits and stories from Elements.

Farmers, consumers, store owners fight raw milk ban
Farmers, food store owners and consumers have banded together to try and stop the state from removing raw milk from retail store shelves.
The new Connecticut Farmstead Dairy Alliance was formed in the aftermath of discussions in February when legislators considered a bill, endorsed by the state Department of Agriculture, that would have tightened restrictions on raw milk sales and banned retail sales to assure a safe supply.

Seasonal factors combined with supply chain disruptions due to floods in Thailand and the overall economic instability continued to take a toll on the company as it registered a sequential decline of about 4% in its last quarter earnings.
However, as the growing consolidation in the dynamic random access memory market brings about a correction in market dynamics and the exponential growth in tablets and smartphones drive up NAND sales, we expect the company to register growth in the current year. Here, we list certain factors that might impact its current as well as remaining quarter earnings for 2012.
NAND Flash Agreement With Intel
Micron’s partnership with Intel on NAND flash is an important part of their overall business. Last quarter, the company announced reaching definite agreements with Intel to restructure this partnership. As part of the overall agreement, Micron agreed to purchase Intel’s 18% interest in the IM Flash operation in Singapore and purchase from the IM flash entity its production assets in the micron fab in Virginia. Micron will sell a portion of the total capacity of 30,000 wafers per month back to Intel under a for-profit take-or-pay supply agreement. This additional profit capacity can have a positive impact on margins, going forward.
However, the termination of the associated lease of Micron fab in Virginia will lead to a loss of approximately $20 million this quarter.  Since the timing of the closing of the transaction with Intel is still uncertain, we expect to see no significant change in Micron’s IM flash sales to Intel this quarter.
Revival In The Global DRAM Industry
Weak demand last year was one of the primary reasons for the drop in overall revenues, but the major problem was excess capacity in the market that has persisted for quite some time. However, the exit of Elpida, which held a 17% market share, is a welcome change for the existing players as it will likely shift the market from a state of persistent oversupply to a much needed stability in market dynamics.
According to research firm IHS iSuppli, the global DRAM market will partially reverse the massive losses incurred in 2011. It predicts the global DRAM revenue to increase to $30.6 billion in 2012, which is close to our estimate of $33.4 billion.  We estimate the global DRAM market to reach around $380 billion by the end of our forecast period.
Growth In Tablets & Mobile Devices To Drive Demand For NAND & Mobile DRAM
Consumers are buying tablets and smartphones in increasing numbers, driving up the use of NAND flash memory for such devices. According to IHS iSuppli, the NAND flash growth from tablets alone would be 12.3 billion GB in 2014, up from 476.8 million GB in 2010.
Compared to the slower growth rate for PC DRAM, we expect the market for mobile DRAM to register huge growth for the period under review. iSuppli predicts mobile DRAM shipments to reach 5 billion Gb in 2015, and go up by almost four times by 2015.
We believe the exponential growth in smartphones, tablets and SSDs will continue to drive demand for NAND and Mobile DRAM; and consequently expect Micron to register growth in these segments in the current quarter as well.
Micron is the forerunner for acquiring Elpida, which filed for bankruptcy in February 2012. If the acquisition successfully goes through, Micron could see a substantial gain in its share in the DRAM market. With the possible acquisition of Elpida, revival in the DRAM market and the exponential growth in mobile devices driving use of NAND flash, we feel that Micron is set to see a double digit growth this year.
We have a price estimate of $7.38 for Micron, a premium of around 20% to the current market price.

Raw Deal for Potato Farmers in UP, Bengal
Farmers in top-producing states get prices which are 40-60% lower than their cost of production
Kolkata: Potato farmers of Uttar Pradesh and Bengal, the two leading producers, are facing tough times as they are getting prices which are 40-60% lower than their cost of production. While Bengal needs to offload 10 lakh tonnes of potatoes in the next two months before the new crop arrives from Punjab, UP has the unenviable task of passing nearly 100 lakh tonnes of potatoes from cold storages to the markets before December15 when its own crop comes into the system. Farmers from UP and Bengal want the government to amend the state APMC Act that can pave way for contract farming, and will help farmers grow potatoes according to
Potatoes Bengal needs to offload in next two months demand. Traders from Bengal are demanding a road transport subsidy of .₹ 100 per quintal from the government so that they can transport the tuber to other states.
In Bengal, 48 lakh tonnes of potatoes are still lying in cold storages. “Farmers are getting .₹ 2.60-.`3.20 per kg while their cost of production is Of potatoes that UP has to reach markets from cold storage before Dec 15
UP’s potato production this year

.₹ 4.40 per kg. We need to sell 10 lakh tonnes of potatoes to other states in the next two months to avoid further drop in prices. We have asked the government to give us a transport subsidy of .₹ 100 per quintal which is under consideration,” said Patitpaban De, president, West Bengal Cold Storage Association. This year, UP produced 155 lakh tonnes of potatoes, 10% higher than last year. Similarly, Bengal has produced 115 lakh tonnes, which is almost 20% more than last year.
Talking to ET, DN Pandey, deputy director, horticulture (potato), UP, said, “Our government is in the process of amending the APMC Act, and once that’s done, we can look at contract farming.”Of the 100 lakh tonnes of potatoes in cold storages, 30 lakh tonnes will be used for domestic consumption in the next four months, 20 lakh tonnes will be exported, and another 20 lakh tonnes will be used as seed.
“We will have a surplus stock of 30 lakh tonnes which will impact the market. Let us see how we can sell this surplus volume,” said Pandey.

The new AutoStore test center in Karmøy, Norway, that can replicate hot and cold weather conditions as well as simulate earthquakes, was officially opened by the Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg on Wednesday.
NEDRE VATS, Norway, August 11, 2021: AutoStore, the leading robotic technology company, experiences continued growth in clients and has created a pioneering test facility allowing for faster fitting of its automated systems for its clients to keep up with order demand. Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, was deeply impressed by the success of AutoStore when she officially opened the new test center and viewed a demonstration.
“AutoStore is a guiding star towards growth for the Norwegian private sector,” she said when she officially opened the Innovation Hub.
Earlier this year, the Prime Minister used AutoStore as an example when she talked about the need for jobs in privately-owned companies in Norway in her speech to the Conservative Party's National Convention.
Humorously, she noted, “I was first introduced to AutoStore back in 2018 when visiting one of their facilities in Japan and remember thinking: If we can sell robots from Vindafjord to Japan, then everything is possible in Norway.”
Karl Johan Lier, CEO of AutoStore, is proud to welcome the prime minister to Karmøy.
“The government stresses the importance of creating more profitable jobs in the private sector and AutoStore aims to deliver on this by continuously developing the offering to our customers globally. At the AutoStore Innovation Hub, we combine the excellent know-how from our competent team with the newest technology, making it possible to constantly test and develop new solutions.”
The Innovation Hub is fitted with a combination of robotic technology and infrastructure for supply chain and retail facilities which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The Hub will be able to test the solutions developed for global retailers and their store and warehouse facilities.
The facility’s environment also adjusts to allow robot testing in both hot and cold conditions, analyzing how the oxygen level changes when goods are stacked within storage systems. The Hub also simulates earthquakes to see how warehouse and store technology would respond to potentially harmful situations, as well as several other functions.
“We identified the need to test solutions under a number of different situations, but we could not set up a test center for cold environments, one for heat, and at the same time one for a modern store solution, one for medical storage, and so on. Therefore, we set up a center where we could simulate different situations and needs. This agile approach offers our clients a competitive market advantage, and places them at the heart of new innovations within the sector that can propel them forwards,” comments Lier.

LONDON -- Group Lotus has appointed former Bentley and Jaguar Land Rover executive Mark Farries to the role of chief financial officer.
Farries, 44, replaces Robert Gong, who is returning to China to work at the headquarters of Lotus's majority shareholder Geely, the UK sports-car maker said in a statement.

Microsoft announces SkyDrive for Xbox 360 plus 40 more apps
SkyDrive for Xbox is set to go live to Xbox 360 users later this morning at 10am PST. The SkyDrive app is one of over 40 new apps that will be variously rolling out to users around the globe over the next week. The addition of SkyDrive to Xbox will further drive Microsoft's drive to push the Xbox 360 to the center of a user's home entertainment experience with the company emphasising the social sharing capabilites of the new app as its centerpiece.
Although the cloud has long played a critical role in the Xbox 360 experience, the new SkyDrive app highlights the benefits of the cloud connectivity with users able to use the app to access photos and videos that users can share with friends instantly. Photos and video will appear almost instaneously after they have been shared, making for a close to real-time entertainment experience.
In addition, Microsoft will also be adding over 40 other apps to the Xbox 360 to users, with apps varying according to region. Highlights include apps for Maxim and Flixster coming to the US, while Canada gets CBC's Hockey Night and Slacker Radio among others. The full list is available on the Major Nelson blog.

The app space is as popular and dynamic as ever, with new games and tools continually being launched to eager audiences.
This enthusiasm for the latest big thing had dire consequences for some Android users who couldn’t wait to get their hands on the latest hot app, Super Mario Run.
With the app being released in December to iOS users only, many fell victim to the efforts of cyber criminals. These pirates claimed to offer an Android version that was downloadable outside of the Google Play store.
Users who attempted to download an illegal copy of Super Mario Run instead had their phone infected with malware. The fake version requested various permissions, which then enabled hackers to access login data of a range of apps using malware. Included in these were banking and payment apps as well as social media apps and store apps.
From there, thousands of victims were subjected to financial theft as well as identify fraud.
Super Mario fans aren’t the first to be affected this way. Android users had similar experiences when trying to access the hugely successful Pokemon Go app when it was released in 2016.
Another malware known as Gooligan was spread in 2016 via third party app providers. Instead of getting an app, users got malware that provided hackers with access to accounts such as Gmail, Google Photos and more. It is believed that more than 1 million accounts were compromised by this malicious software.
You may come to an app via an online advertisement or receive an email and click on a link to what looks like a cool new app. So how do you know you are downloading it from the right source?
For one thing, there is only one verified source of apps for your device. If you’re not downloading from iTunes for your Apple device or Google Play for your Android device… act
carefully! Third party app stores do little or no vetting of what shows up for consumers so there is always an element of risk.
Should you receive an email, even if it looks like it is from a friend, about an app, check the link carefully before proceeding and hitting download.
If you think an app might be fraudulent, check the developer’s name and look for user reviews. Most bona-fide apps should have at least a couple of plausible looking reviews. Also, be wary of multiple requests for permission to access areas of your phone that aren’t related to the app you are downloading.
Worried your phone has been infected by something from a third party app? Keep an eye on the battery life as these viruses have to work hard, draining your phone more quickly than usual. You may also notice that your phone calls are dropping out a lot more than they have in the past.
Spikes in data use that you can’t think of an explanation for are another way to identify malware on your phone, as are slow loading times for pages and videos that usually don’t take a long time. You may find your phone bill goes up as malware accesses expensive SMS services.
If you do think you have been infected, delete the app you believe is responsible or try doing a factory reset of your phone (make sure you have saved the photos and phone numbers you will need).
To prevent malware from creeping its way onto your phone, you can install blockers that will keep your phone safe. Your best bet, however, is to only install apps that are created by reliable providers who have worked lock-tight security into the framework before releasing them to the public.

Volkswagen pounced at the chance to curb this issue and held a meeting with the Road Traffic Authority in New South Wales.
Karl Gehling, General Manager Press and PR for Volkswagen Group Australia told CarAdvice:
"We have recently presented to the NSW RTA and they have agreed that the Golf TSI engines should be exempted from the restrictions for P plate drivers."
Although, Mr Gehling also told CarAdvice that:
"This exemption is offered to drivers on an individual basis but we are pleased that the RTA has recognised the Golf TSI engines deliver considerable gains in efficiency and the new Golf provides increased safety for drivers."
In essence, each owner needs to apply for an exemption from the RTA before the vehicle can be legally driven by a probationary license holder.
Victorians are yet to be exempt from the restrictions though. Mr Gehling said that Volkswagen is in the process of meeting with VicRoads, with the aim of reaching a similar agreement to that with the RTA. CarAdvice will keep you posted on the outcome.
If you're anything like us at CarAdvice, you will agree that this blanket ban beggers belief. A P-plater can legally drive a 200kW+ V6 (such as the VW Golf R32 or Toyota Aurion), but they can't set foot in a five-star EuroNCAP rated Volkswagen Golf VI. That's about as clear as mud.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of an ongoing initiative by LG Electronics to further enhance consumers' user experience with LG mobile phones, the company is expanding its app developer program with the launch of a new software development kit (SDK) for LG's popular multi-tasking functionality called QSlide Function™.
The LG QSlide Function SDK will enable developers to elevate multi-tasking capabilities in their new and existing apps to a whole new level. QSlide Function is a unique feature on LG mobile devices from all major wireless carriers that allows end users to view multiple apps simultaneously in separate, resizable windows.
"Developers want to focus on creating the next great app and, in lockstep, LG is committed to supporting the rapid and smart innovation inherent to the Android developer community," said Georg Rasinski, director, mobile brand management, LG Electronics USA. "Fresh on the heels of launching our popular LG Device Loaner Program and introducing our QRemote SDK, we're expanding the LG Developer Program with the new LG QSlide Function SDK. And there's more to come."
The LG QSlide SDK Function will not only make it possible to design Android smartphone apps that can be opened in size-adjustable windows, but also will allow developers to customize their apps for other useful consumer benefits. For example, an "always display on top" option provides developers with the ability to decide how content is viewed on the screen. A collection of QSlide Function-compatible apps will soon be available from Google Play and the LG SmartWorld app store.
As part of its outreach to the developer community, LG will demonstrate the LG QSlide Function and LG QRemote SDKs at Apps World North America 2014, taking place February 5-6 at Moscone in San Francisco. For Apps World attendees, LG will be providing demos at booth #203.
LG QSlide Function Key Features Include:
- Switching the mode between floating and full screen window
- Adjusting transparency, size and position of the floating window
- Customizing styles of the floating window
- Adding the application's launch icon to the notification bar
LG Brings Unique Programming Features to Developers
The LG QRemote SDK lets developers take advantage of the IR (infrared) remote sensor in devices like LG G Flex and LG G2, to create their own QuickRemote apps which can control multiple, compatible electronic devices including TVs, cable set-top boxes, audio systems and even air conditioners.
The LG Loaner Device Program gives developers access to build and test their apps on the newest LG devices at no cost. By equipping developers with exciting and current software, hardware and app store channels, LG is enabling developers to focus on innovating and monetizing the next great app.
The LG QSlide Function and LG QRemote SDKs and documentation are now available for download at the LG Developer website: http://developer.lge.com.

Shanghai –Last week, Cargo Facts was once again in Shanghai, this time around exploring the massive exhibition halls of the air cargo pavilion at Transport Logistic China. A May-heatwave might have driven foot traffic to stands with cold beverages, or prime locations underneath air conditioning vents, but there was no shortage of revealing interviews and insights to come out of the event. On Thursday, we broke news of Qatar Airways’ desire to shrink its A330-200F fleet. Today, we continue with five takeaways from Air Cargo China. Join us tomorrow for a look at the future of Cargolux’s fleet.
1) Carriers so far unaffected by US-China tariffs, but threat of trade war remains a cloud on the horizon. Global air cargo carriers maintained that the Trump administration’s planned tariffs of up to $150 billion on Chinese imports, and the retaliatory tariffs on US Imports from China, have so far had little impact on air cargo volumes. Luxembourg-based Cargolux president and CEO, Richard Forson warned however, that things could quickly change. “As soon as tariffs start effecting perishables and other high-end electronics that get flown, especially during peak season, it could lead to reduced volumes on the major trade lanes between those two countries.”
Rumors of US imports being held-up in Chinese customs were already quite common. In late April, Chinese customs resumed the previously idled process of inspecting all fruit shipments originating in the United States. In November 2017, China had relaxed inspection requirements for inbound fruit, testing only about one-in-three shipments. So far, there is no evidence of a jump in the number of failed inspections, although Reuters confirmed that some citrus and apples have been rejected.
US West Coast cherry growers are monitoring the situation just as closely as the air freight industry. Last year, the United States exported some $119 million worth of cherries to China, most of which moved into the country by air. The first of this year’s crop have already departed California, and exports from Washington are expected to commence in early June.
This year, cherry exports could very well continue uninterrupted. As of 20 May, the US has put its plan to slap China with additional tariffs on hold. Beijing and Washington continued to negotiate over the weekend, appear to have idled plans to escalate the trade war.
2) Subsidies to continue promoting “interesting” freighter destinations throughout China. The desire of local governments to support air freight logistics within their domicile appears to be stronger than ever. Subsidies and other forms of support are likely to continue encouraging carriers to launch scheduled and express freighter flights to and from origins and destinations that otherwise would be hard to justify on a purely commercial basis. The latest rumor is that a carrier will soon launch China-to-Europe flights with a nearly empty 757F.
In related news, forwarders continue to explore dedicated freighter and charter options as tight capacity and elevated rates persist. Last year, APEX Globe and Flexport both launched dedicated freighter flights to accommodate demand on the China-US trade lane. Beijing-based freight forwarder Sinoair (a subsidiary of Sinotrans) is another forwarder that has long chartered capacity between China and North America. Looking ahead to this year’s peak season, Sinoair said it was considering additional charter flights.
3) China Customs Advanced Manifest (CCAM) regulations go into effect on 1 June. In an effort to expedite customs clearance for inbound and outbound goods, General Administration of Customs China (GACC) will require that advanced manifest data be submitted to customs prior to cargo being loaded onto an aircraft. Carriers are hopeful this will make it easier for goods to clear customs while in-transit and believe that this could make it easier to boost operations at secondary airports throughout the country, where customs infrastructure is less-developed. Details surrounding the new regulations, or their implementation are still however, quite sparse.
4) PACTL pushes digitization with first paperless pilot. Although e-AWBs are not new to Shanghai’s PVG airport, customs has always required physical print-outs alongside the electronic documents. This is no longer the case. Christian Haug, VP PACTL told Cargo Facts that after a series of productive conversations with various customs authorities in Beijing, all parties involved are now receptive to electronic documents. On 15 May, three of PACTL’s airline customers, Lufthansa Cargo, Air China Cargo and Cathay Pacific Cargo, began participating in a new pilot that utilizes e-AWBs as they are intended to be – without paper. If the tests work, Haug says he sees no reason why other stakeholders at the airport couldn’t quickly make the switch to digital.
5) Boeing not taking any new orders for the 747-8F. Although Boeing has in public said that it remains committed to the 747-8F program, multiple carriers have said the manufacturer is not currently taking orders for the aircraft. Cargolux’s Forson confirmed to Cargo Facts during a lengthy and insightful interview, that even if his airline wanted additional -8Fs, Boeing would not sell them to him today. “They are delivering a total of 28 to UPS, and another five are going to other carriers. Beyond that, they have not made any definitive announcement as to whether the program will continue or not.” Just what might this mean for the future of Cargolux and its freighter fleet? Join us tomorrow to find out.

Unciphered offered Stefan Thomas to use their service to unlock his hard drive which contains more than 7,000 Bitcoin.
Stefan Thomas is Ripple’s former Chief technology officer (CTO). He has an IronKey hard drive which contains 7,001 BTC worth nearly $244 million at the current trade price which is $34k per BTC. Thomas forgot the access password & he already used 8 out of 10 attempts to unlock the drive. If he fails to unlock it with two more attempts then the drive will erase its data. This is a very old story & the whole crypto industry knows about it already but again this story came to light as a password recovery firm claimed that it can help former Ripple CTO to unlock his drive.
On 25 Oct 2023, Unciphered invited the former Ripple CTO Stefen Thomas officially and asked to contact the firm if he wanted to unlock that hard drive.
The password recovery firm stated that they have a special method to bypass Ironkey hard drives 10 times and will try 200 million new password combinations to unlock the drive.
The firm claimed that they already used this method to recover Crypto assets for many people and they are also open to helping him.
Notably the former Ripple CTO has been inactive on X (formerly Twitter) since July of this year & it will be interesting to see whether he will respond or not.
In an interview with the popular crypto news website Cointelegraph, Unciphered CEO Eric Michaud explained the basic procedure that they use to bypass attempts & unlock hard drives.
Michaud confirmed that the company unlocked huge numbers of such hard drives successfully & not only helped people recover their crypto assets but also created a sustainable business.
He also said that his company is ready for this innovative job for the former Ripple CTO to unlock his hard drive but if he is willing to use their service then they will still remain optimistic as they already have a business that is growing.

New Zelda title mooted for 2009
According to Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian (thanks GameSpot) a new Zelda title is likely to be released by Nintendo in 2009, and that this major release will see game sales up 5%.
Apparently, a new Princess Peach offering from the Big N is also likely to see release next year, while the executive expects to see the next Grand Theft Auto title in 2010.
Sebastian's research-led predictions are based on educated guesswork, rather than in-depth publisher-centred knowledge, but given that Nintendo have previously teased over a new Zelda game this does sound plausible.
The Princess Peach game does however seem to be based on industry knowledge; while no one was expecting a new GTA outing in 2009 anyway... more on all this, such as it is, as we get it.
