Zero Motorcycles Global Sales expected to boost after duties cut in Europe and triple EV incentives introduced in USA. Year to Date October sales have been just over the 3.000 units up 11.2% vs the 2020 and 41.9% vs the 2019.
McD tracks new vehicles registrations across the World (over 80 countries), reporting data on calendar year. When you wish to compare data reported by us to those declared by the manufacturers, consider they usually report their “sales” (vehicles invoiced), which are usually different from “registrations”, accordingly with their fiscal year split.
Zero Motorcycles Global Sales Trend
While the Electrification is still slow for the motorcycles segment and the million of electric two wheeler sales are concentrated in the moped/scooter segment, the California-based Zero Motorcycles the pioneer of the sector is struggling to move up the annual volumes.
After achieving around 3.500 sales in the 2020, this year the global performance has been penalized by European sales, which in the first ten months have been flat, after a first half 21.7% growth. Sales has been challenged by high duties imposed by EU community to USA made models and – as this duties has been revised in November – a recovery is expected for Zero in the next future.
Sales in North America started well in the first half, but then declined between July and October with an annual growth so far at 21%.
Year to Date October sales have been just over the 3.000 units up 11.2% vs the 2020 and 41.9% vs the 2019.
However, in November the electric motorcycles received generous tax credit proposals in the Build Back Better Act, which was passed by the US House of Representatives. Electric motorcycles already receive a 10% federal tax credit, but that figure was tripled to 30% in the new bill. The credit was capped at a maximum of $7,500, and will apply to electric motorcycles that meet certain minimum requirements. To qualify, the electric motorcycles need to have at least 2.5 kWh of battery and travel at speeds of at least 45 mph (72 km/h).
We have to expect Zero Motorcycles will fully benefit from this incentive and sales will be back on a positive track in short.
Founded in 2006 in a Santa Cruz, California garage by a former NASA engineer, Neal Saiki, Zero Motorcycles aims to innovate in the motorcycles industry developing a unique range of sport motorbikes, all only electric fueled.
New York private equity firm Invus has led $86 million in funding since Zero was born — and depending on who you talk to, growth ahead of it. Electric motorcycles are seen as an area of the business that could boom in coming years, even as traditional gas-powered bikes wane in popularity.
Since February 2017 the company is under the leadership of the new CEO, Mr. Sam Paschel.
The business idea was almost easy – on paper – but daring to be realized: to produce an entire range of 100% electric motorcycles, from sport-street to motocross, and build up a company around them.
The current line up includes the Zero S (street), the Zero SR (street racing), the Zero FXS (supermoto), the Zero DS (dual-sport), the Zero DSR (dual-sport racing) and the Zero FX (motocross), the SR/F and the new SR/S.
- Zero Motorcycles in charging phase
At the heart of every Zero is the efficient Z-Force® powertrain, which eliminates the need for the heavy and complex components found in conventional motorcycles. The Z-Force® motor contains only one moving part, is sealed and air-cooled, and requires no routine maintenance.
Despite its compact proportions, the motor produces up to 116 ft-lb of torque, more than you’ll find in any 1,000cc gas-burning sport bike. The Z-Force® battery achieves the highest power and energy density in the EV industry and is backed by a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty.
Each bike’s range is determined by battery capacity, speed and riding habits. With the optional Power Tank accessory, the Zero SR is capable of over 220 miles in the city and 110 miles on the highway. Zero FX and Zero FXS models feature an optional modular power pack system that allows batteries to be swapped in under a minute.
Charging a Zero is simple and convenient. No complex or expensive equipment or charge station installation required. Every Zero comes equipped with a built-in charger that turns any household 110/220V outlet into a “fueling station,” and the connection takes just a few seconds to plug and unplug. Depending on battery capacity, charging can take from a couple of hours to overnight.
USA is were Zero Motorcycles is selling more, thanks to the Government and Federal incentives supporting electric vehicles and for a wide distribution network across the country. Since this summer they have opened the first exclusive dealership in Orange County, California, starting a new phase of their distribution strategy, which will be based on exclusive dealerships. Actually there are 99 dealers in North America and 200 in the rest of the World (mainly Europe).
However actually Zero distributes models in 29 countries (plus USA):
Canada, Panama, Chile, Uruguay, Portugal, Spain, UK, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Kuwait, UAE, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia.

The squeeze is on in our economy and the consumers are feeling it.
The government hopes that the economic stimulus program will encourage consumers to spend, spend, spend.
According to a recent NRF/BIG research study, consumers plan to spend one third of their $600-$1200 rebate checks on necessities/groceries. While this puts a slight damper on things for college stores, the study also suggests that $3.9 billion will go to apparel, $3.7 billion to electronics, and $2.1 billion on "splurge/impulse" items--all things that most college stores carry in some form or another.
May is a time of extra cash in pockets (buyback) and high emotions (end of term and graduation). It's a time when stores should be ready for inpulse purchases of gifts, keepsakes, insignia, and other general merchandise. The pending rebates should only enhance this situation.
So you should be getting ready to sell, sell, sell!

Looking purely at graphics processing, AMD Radeon RX480 remains the most cost-effective solution for VR experiences. It manages to generate about 62fps, whereas the alternative Nvidia’s GTX 1080 generates about 59fps. Looks like a long way to go for processors to hit the ideal 90fps mark!
The oxymoron goes on
Rumours or not, VR is a major focus area for manufacturers going ahead. Its popularity is evident from an experience I had last week. While travelling, I heard a knock on my car window. Thinking it would be another hawker selling stuff I did not need, I brushed him off. When the vehicle moved, the rear-view mirror showed a person holding three to four VR headset boxes. Those might have been knockoffs, but the idea that VR has reached the streets is heartening.

Ballymena Mart was packed on the evening of Wednesday 24 January for the annual sale of commercial in calf heifers from Will & Gareth Corrie, Drumhilla Farms. Billed as the “Leading Ladies Sale” this event is now firmly established as a firm favourite for commercial farmers to source their herd replacements. Buyers had choice from over 100 head of beef bred heifers including a strong cohort of Limousin types.
Topping the sale at £3200 was an exceptional Limousin heifer carrying to a top quality Limousin bull. She was sold to Carrigreen Farms Ltd, Co Antrim. Chasing this at £2950 was another black Limousin heifer selling to a Tyrone suckler producer who selected a number of top lots on the night. The hammer went down at the same price for another smart heifer to D & R Simpson. Given that the annual event has earned the reputation as a ‘must go to’ sale, many repeat customers were in attendance and one buyer snapped up an impressive 17 lots.
The sale averaged £1680 for 103 lots.

Aalborg Havn A/S did not violate the competition act in the sale of Østre Havn
25. november 2009
On November 25th the Danish Competition Council (DCC) has decided on a case regarding the sale of a property called Østre Havn placed in the city of Aalborg. The DCC found that the publicly owned Aalborg Havn A/S did not violate the Danish competition acts rules concerning state aid by selling Østre Havn to a price of 42,8 million DKK.
The case originates from a complaint from a member of the Danish parliament, Per Clausen. Per Clausen argued that the property was sold to a price lower than the marked price. If the property was sold to a price lower than the market price, the sale could constitute a violation of the Danish rules regarding state aid since Aalborg Havn A/S was almost fully owned by the city of Aalborg.
The Danish Competition Authorities obtained an evaluation of Østre Havn carried out by an independent asset valuer. The valuer found that Østre Havn was worth 71,7 million DKK at the time of the sale. However, the valuer also found that the estimated market price was within a price range of 35-50 pct. and that a purchase price of app. 40-100 million DKK for that reason was to be regarded as the market price at the time of the sale.
The valuer found that it was not possible to reduce the extraordinarily wide price margin. This was due to unusually large uncertainties and exceptional circumstances related to the sale of Østre Havn.
The DCC found on the basis of the valuer’s findings that it could not be refused that Østre Havn was sold at the market price. Therefore, Aalborg Havn A/S did not violate the Danish competition acts rules concerning state aid.

Jamf, the standard in Apple device management and security, recently announced a major milestone of 20 million Apple devices managed worldwide. This is a testament to Jamf’s growth and success in the enterprise IT space. With this impressive feat, Jamf is now powering IT teams across the globe to better manage, secure, and control all their Apple devices – from iPhones to Macs.
In this article, we will discuss the reasons why Jamf is proving so popular with customers:
Overview of Jamf
Jamf is an industry-leading Apple device management software designed to help organisations simplify their IT infrastructure and deliver seamless user experiences. It is used by over 200,000 global customers, including 60 Fortune 500 companies. Jamf powerfully unifies IT, security and end user operations by providing all the features organisations need to manage their Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple TV devices.
With its powerful platform of integrated services now used by over 20 million Apple devices worldwide, Jamf is committed to helping organisations of all sizes create a better environment for their users and drive success in the modern world. By managing every aspect of the IT lifecycle across the entire device fleet – from provisioning hardware, applications and software to asset management, reporting and usage analytics – Jamf equips IT teams with holistic visibility each step.
Jamf has announced that it is now managing 20 million Apple devices for customers around the world
Jamf has announced it has reached a major milestone – managing 20 million Apple devices across all environments. This includes thousands of businesses, schools and government organisations using Jamf to manage their workflow, empower employees and students, and secure corporate data.
Jamf has been building its reputation as the enterprise’s leader in Apple device management since 2002. They have achieved several major accomplishments over the years, including being named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2019 and maintaining their top ratings on Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for UEM Solutions since it launched in 2018. With this achievement, Jamf can proudly state that they are the only company to reach 20 million managed Apple devices across all platforms.
Jamf Founder Zach Halmstad attributes much of their success to a strong commitment to providing innovative technology for customers everywhere. In addition, he credits the growth to not just relying on herd followership but also exploring creative ways to differentiate themselves with impactful solutions that truly help customers succeed throughout every stage of their journey with Jamf.
By achieving this milestone, Jamf further solidifies itself as a trusted advisor within the technology management ecosystem and continues its mission to help enable organisations around the globe by managing Apple devices securely, seamlessly and at scale across any infrastructure.
Impact of the Milestone
After two decades of providing Apple device management solutions, Jamf recently announced that it is now managing 20 million Apple devices for customers worldwide. This impressive milestone demonstrates the impact of the Jamf platform on the ever growing trend of organisations transitioning to a digital workplace. It also highlights the clear benefits of utilising an enterprise-level mobility management solution.
Let’s take a closer look at the implications of this announcement.
Growth of Apple devices in the enterprise
In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in Apple devices being managed within the enterprise. This is due to the continued advancement of hardware, software and security components for both consumer and business users, alongside the availability of cloud services. According to the recent milestone reported by Jamf, more than 20 million Apple devices have now been successfully managed in corporate IT environments.
This growth can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, Apple’s integration with cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure gives developers a more comprehensive set of tools to build powerful applications for their businesses’ operations. Secondly, organisations are beginning to understand the importance of securely managing their Apple devices through mobile device management (MDM) solutions like Jamf Pro. This helps them quickly deploy apps and services, secure confidential data on each device and provide visibility into connected endpoints – all while maintaining compliance with industry regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.
The increasing prevalence of Apple products in enterprise settings is also due to their advantages over traditional computer systems. Companies can extend productivity by incorporating access from Macs, iPhones and iPads into their corporate IT network; this enhanced accessibility grants employees better mobility when accessing company data or carrying out collaborative work tasks regardless of geographic location.
With more than 20 million managed Apple devices across enterprises worldwide – this milestone signifies an exciting phase for businesses integrating Macs or iOS into their corporate IT environment. Further, it proves that these mobile technologies play an important role in today’s digital transformation journey.
Increased demand for Jamf’s services
Reaching the milestone of 20 million managed Apple devices demonstrates the significant impact that Jamf has had on the industry as a leader in enterprise management solutions for Apple devices. This growth is partially attributed to the fact that organisations are increasingly looking towards mobile device management solutions to better monitor their IT environments, address security needs and manage their BYOD policy.
Jamf’s services are designed to make it easier for IT teams and users to manage their Apple devices more securely, efficiently and effectively than ever before making Jamf an attractive enterprise mobility management solution. With increased demand for Jamf’s services, it is clear that organisations of all sizes and types – from classrooms to large enterprises – have seen the need for mobile device managers like Jamf that are specifically tailored for Apple devices.
The impressive milestone of 20 million managed Apple devices validates the continued adoption of Jamf’s services around the globe, indicating a momentous shift towards broader acceptance and use of mobile device management solutions in enterprises. In addition, the success demonstrates how far Jamf has come in its mission to serve companies by helping them simplify cross-platform Mac, iPad and iPhone deployments across organisations.
Benefits of Jamf
Jamf has just announced that it is now managing 20 million Apple devices for customers worldwide. This is a major milestone and testament to the product’s quality. In addition, Jamf has many benefits for businesses; such as providing a secure way to manage Apple devices, offering flexibility for different user types, and providing a platform for users to collaborate, create, and innovate.
Let’s take a deeper look at some of the benefits of using Jamf:
Ease of use and scalability
Jamf makes it easy to manage IT teams in various organisations and sizes. Existing solutions can be used for just one device or scaled up to thousands with the ability to simultaneously deploy content and settings across all devices. In addition, as a cloud-based solution, Jamf simplifies remote management of Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and other Apple devices from anywhere with an internet connection.
For Apple admins, Jamf Pro offers an intuitive web-based console that requires minimal effort and setup time when managing large or complex IT deployments for their organisation. It allows admins to quickly set preferences consistently across their fleet of devices; assign remote commands; customise OS settings; select which apps should be installed; create custom scripts that can execute on endpoints during deployment; create detailed reports; and integrate with third-party solutions like IBM MaaS360® to easily unlock more powerful analytics tools.
Another benefit of Jamf’s scalability is that it supports multiple integration points on a single platform. With the ability to securely access over 20 different cloud services, organisations have the flexibility to build their desired workflow using automated solutions based on each service, reducing manual workloads and freeing up time for effective business operations. Jamf also integrates with existing MDM solutions such as Microsoft Intune® so admins don’t have to start from scratch when setting up new deployments in the workplace.
Additionally, Jamf has hundreds of partners who provide customised service packages that optimise use-case designs through efficient integration services, making user experience a priority within any organisation’s environment. From mobile device management (MDM) implementations for HIPAA or SOX compliance needs – custom built enterprise app stores – plugin development – coexistence partner integrations (Office365 or GSuite) – asset tracking features – security hardening configurations – automation integrations – and third-party applications tailored for healthcare industries – Jamf provides the freedom needed by admins to create operational tasks specific to any deployment effort at hand.
Security and compliance
Jamf helps organisations ensure secure access to Apple devices’ data and applications, meeting regulated industries’ compliance standards. With Jamf, organisations can configure Apple devices to adhere to predetermined settings with automated enforcement, allowing end users access to data and applications quickly and securely. In addition, by setting up access policies for individuals or groups, IT admins can provide administrative privileges for specified accounts or apps while keeping sensitive data out of reach from unauthorised users.
Jamf also offers a variety of layered security features such as single sign-on (SSO), two-factor authentication (2FA), password expiration controls, and VPN settings, which help organisations protect their network from external threats. It also provides transportation layer security (TLS) encryption across various products available in government data centres. On the device side, Jamf offers mobile threat defence (MTD) integration which detects potential malicious activity on user devices. Moreover, Jamf’s patch management solution ensures all apps are regularly updated with the latest security patches ensuring optimal security levels for any environment – whether cloud-based or on-premise.
Automation and customization
Jamf software offers enterprises a wealth of automation and customization options. From automated computer imaging, to Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) capabilities, Jamf delivers powerful administration tools that take the stress out of IT deployment and management. This allows businesses to maximise their resources, minimise user disruptions and ensure that their devices contain the latest apps, software patches and security updates.
With Jamf’s automated system, an organisation can configure its devices in minutes instead of days or hours with more traditional deployment methods.
With Jamf’s customizable UI, admins can also go beyond the Apple defaults and customise the desktop to fit their business needs. They can easily create unique enterprise policies by setting device restrictions such as:
Displaying company logos on devices’ logon screens;
Enforcing data encryption;
Disabling built-in cameras when needed for privacy concerns.
In addition to customising self-service portals for users—where personnel can check in/out items or access repair requests—there are also long-term end user features such as restricting a device’s access to only certain applications based on age-related ratings or content sensitivity levels.
Challenges for Jamf
Jamf’s impressive achievement of managing 20 million Apple devices for customers worldwide is a testament to their success. However, with this success comes certain challenges. Jamf must now consider how to scale their current infrastructure to accommodate the continuous growth, while staying reliable and secure.
In this article, we will explore the challenges and opportunities that Jamf faces as the number of devices managed continue to grow.
Managing customer expectations
As Jamf has grown to 20 million managed Apple devices, it has faced several new challenges. One key challenge Jamf has faced is managing customer expectations. This can be difficult due to the speed at which technology evolves, the ever-changing enterprise environment, and customer demand for greater customization and scalability.
The enterprise landscape is particularly challenging because businesses are always changing their needs and deploying new solutions requiring different deployment and management capabilities. As a result, expectations of what Jamf’s services can accomplish must be constantly adjusted as functionality is added or integrated with other solutions to meet customer demands.
In addition, Jamf must balance speed with quality to deliver the expected results on time while maintaining the highest data security and performance standards. This requires technical expertise and an understanding of the end goals that customers are seeking when they select Jamf as their partner in device management. Finally, Jamf needs to acknowledge user feedback quickly to ensure best practices are used when developing solutions for a wide variety of business needs.
Staying ahead of the competition
As the world-leading vendor of Apple enterprise management solutions, Jamf is in an enviable and fast-growing position. However, the company knows that staying ahead of the competition means providing users with innovative and highly secure products and services.
To ensure continued success, Jamf must keep a close eye on developing trends in Apple device use and be ready to respond quickly. This includes staying on top of security threats like malware, vulnerabilities and data breaches. In addition, with greater adoption of multi-platform enterprise tech solutions, Jamf must remain elegant enough to meet the needs of its target market while maintaining stringent standards in privacy compliance and data protection protocols.
Finally, as larger businesses seek out cost savings wherever possible, keeping prices competitive will also be a major factor for Jamf. Staying ahead of the competition requires investing resources into constantly developing competitively priced product offerings compared to other providers’ offerings while still providing value. With 20 million Apple devices already managed by Jamf worldwide and continued organic growth on their rise each quarter,Jamf remains well positioned for reaching even greater heights in 2020 and beyond.
Keeping up with the ever-evolving technology landscape
The technology landscape is ever-changing and as organisations embrace the trend of remote work, managing Apple devices remotely has become an increasingly critical challenge. This is why Jamf, a leading provider of mobile device management solutions for organisations worldwide, has experienced immense growth over the past few years.
Jamf now manages more than 20 million Apple devices worldwide, and needs to keep up with the continued evolution of remote technologies to remain competitive. In addition, as equipment becomes more advanced, Jamf must constantly ensure that their products provide secure, efficient and user-friendly ways for organisations to manage their device fleets.
In addition to needing to stay informed about trends in technology, Jamf must also master the task of integrating new features into existing products in an efficient manner without sacrificing quality or end user experience with their product offerings. Furthermore, with new trends emerging daily in areas such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), Jamf should stay on top of these advancements while also honing in on possible challenges they may bring and develop related strategies accordingly.
Finally, while pursuing innovation, Jamf must build or leverage relationships with manufacturers to create unique offerings that customers wouldn’t find elsewhere. This supports a successful partnership model where both parties benefit from sharing resources related to product research and development. Hence, both remain at the cutting edge of the mobile device management solutions industry.

In partnership with Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board, RLG to undertake IEC Awareness & Collection Drive
Jodhpur, October, 2021.
RLG India, part of Munich-headquartered Reverse Logistics Group (RLG), a leading global service provider of comprehensive reverse logistics solutions, is collaborating with Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) to launch IEC awareness and collection drive in Rajasthan. Under the ‘Clean to Green on Wheels’ campaign, an awareness drive will be launched across 4 districts of Rajasthan – Alwar, Bhilwara, Jodhpur and Bhiwadi.
To mark the 4th International E-Waste Day on October 14th, RLG India is taking an initiative to educate multiple stakeholders in the districts of Rajasthan about the need for formal E-waste recycling. With this, C2G will flag off collection drives, covering strategic cities and towns of Rajasthan and foster organic collection of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The collection vehicles will be flagged off from the RSPCB’s office in Jaipur on October 14th, 2021, and travel across 12 districts, 22 towns, conducting 45 activities over a period of 10 days, expecting to reach out to more than 20,000 individuals.
On 19th October Clean to Green Collection Vehicle was flagged off from RSPCB, Jodhpur by our Chief Guest Shri Inderjeet Singh IAS, District Collector, in presence of Shri Amit Sharma, RO – Jodhpur.
Steering its awareness drive into the state of Rajasthan, RLG, in collaboration with RSPCB, are conducting activities that include launching of take back portal and promoting doorstep E-Waste collections. ‘Feet on Street’ have been deployed in 4 cities for maximal coverage across bulk consumers, residential area, informal sector, dealer/retailer market, educational institutes.
Talking about the launch of IEC Awareness & Collection drive, Ms. Radhika Kalia, Managing Director, RLG India, said, “The surge in demand for electronics makes it imperative to build awareness that promote collection of EEE from the end users. With the launch of IEC Awareness & Collection drive in Rajasthan, RLG strives to permeate into all big/small cities and towns to provide them with the solutions for the E Waste Problem. We are committed to our aim of building clean and green India for our future generations.”
Talking about the Awareness drive, Shri Anand Mohan, RSPCB’s Member Secretary, said, “E-waste management is currently one of the prime concerns in Rajasthan. A major roadblock that we face today is the lack of awareness among stakeholders about the importance of proper e-waste disposal. We have joined hands with RLG’s C2G campaign to be a part of their great initiative of launching an awareness drive which will not only educate the stakeholders but will also conduct activities across multiple districts of Rajasthan to set a practical example of sustainable e-waste management.”

To end up working in a supermarket might be some graduates' worst nightmare but the discounter Aldi regularly features prominently in graduate recruitment league tables.
For what it lacks in glamour, the German discounter makes up for in pay, perks and opportunities for promotion. The starting salary for a trainee area manager is £40,000, rising to £60,000 after three years. Other benefits include private healthcare, five weeks' holiday and an Audi A4 car.
For ambitious university leavers, the retailer dangles the opportunity of becoming a director within five years. This year the company is looking to hire 120 graduates as it steps up expansion in the UK.
Until recession took hold, chains such as Aldi and Lidl were considered off-limits to middle-class shoppers but the downturn has made them more willing to shop around to save money, with the discounters enjoying strong sales growth as a result.
With 400 stores in the UK, Aldi is still a minnow compared with the 2,300-strong Tesco but that belies Aldi's global reach. The chain, founded by two brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht – Aldi stands for Albrecht Discount – is the 10th largest retailer in the world with some 7,000 stores.

Recently Skype released an update to the Skype for Linux Alpha client. It includes many new features and improvements compared to the previous version as they say, but that is not necessarily true or exact ! Now you can have support for setting an avatar in group chats and there are also some performance improvements during a video call. Some of the early users mentioned that they have already experienced issues, by receiving notifications when skype isn’t in focus.
Skype for Linux Alpha recently released, is an early edition of a new version of Skype for Linux. Currently it lacks some features seen on the skype app but all of the features will be released in the final version. It can be installed globally but is currently available in English only. According to the developers, this release comes with the latest, fastest and most responsive Skype UI, so you can share files, photos, videos and a whole new range of new emoticons with your friends.

Android Surface Rendering Some newer devices that can do UHD or 4K playback really well lack the power to also create the Kodi interface at that resolution, and this creates kind of a problem.

The peanut market is about as stirred up as a large jar of mixed nuts. Nationally, Congress is wavering on passing the Farm Bill. Trump continues to talk of unfair trade agreements and farmers are expecting retaliatory tariffs on farm products. Planting season was first facing a drought.
Then, it rained for three consecutive weeks delaying the planting of about 25 percent of the crop until after the crop insurance deadline.
Other market factors include that most farmers decided against signing the $400 to $450 per-ton contracts. Lots of peanuts have been planted with only the loan of $355 per ton as price protection. The price of cotton has made a run to more than 90 cents per pound, which was inviting to many producers and offered a rotation option.
In Argentina, farmers were plagued with the worst drought in 50 years and then at harvest came 20 days of rain and fog further damaging the crop and opening the door for U.S. sales to the European Union.
All the unknowns slowed peanut movement, and stocks have started piling up at shelling plants and in cold storage. Peanut stocks in April, the ninth month of the marketing year, were 3.78 billion pounds, up 41.6 percent over last April. The industry seemed to go to sleep waiting for something positive to happen.
What’s more, early planted peanuts, now waterlogged, are not growing, and cool soils have caused poor germination.
Considerable acreage may have to be replanted in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. Agronomists and farmers must decide whether it’s economically feasible to replant peanuts. Usually, June planted peanuts yield lower than those planted in May in the Southeast. Will the planted peanut acreage show a reduction enough to move the needle on carryforward?
Prices Stay Low
The first estimate by USDA indicates the 2018 crop will be down about 15 percent from last year after reducing acreage 18 percent. The earlier estimate of planted acreage is 1,537,000 acres.
With a harvested acreage of 1,475,000 acres and an average yield of 4,149 pounds per acre, that’s a U.S. peanut harvest of 3,059,887 tons. That is about a 2 percent increase in the average yield and a production reduction of 15 percent.
On peanut disappearance, domestic food use continues up about 2 percent; however, exports are expected down about 8 percent. The market depressant is the growing carryforward, now up to 1,415,000 tons versus 1,360,000 tons last year.
The Price Loss Coverage (PLC) payment is in the back of the minds of peanut producers with a farm base. The average farm price of peanuts has been $464 per ton. USDA projected the PLC payment will be about $75 per ton. That only applies to 75 percent of the farm base.
Shellers are offering $400 per ton for uncontracted 2017 peanuts stored away in the loan. USDA would like for these loan peanuts to be redeemed and sold to the trade. USDA wants to avoid forfeitures. The volume is alarming and the 9-month storage period will soon be matured.
At the end of May, loan volume was 1,299,397 tons versus 671,362 the previous year when all loan peanuts were sold. Shellers will need this storage space for new 2018 peanut crop.
Peanut usage in the U.S. keeps trending upward. USDA estimates another 2 percent increase this year after a 1.3 percent increase last year. Total edible peanuts were up 3 percent after 9 months with candy and peanut butter about the same as last year and peanut snacks up 10 percent. Government purchases were about the same as last year at 2.2 million pounds of peanut butter and 26,000 pounds of roasted peanuts.
Nutrition Big Plus
Extensive research by The Peanut Institute and others show that peanuts, peanut butter and peanut oil all help to prevent chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Studies indicate a handful of peanuts eaten five or more times a week can cut the risk of heart disease in half.
There is a lot more: peanuts keep arteries flexible and help to prevent heart disease by lowering cholesterol. Peanuts and peanut butter can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. The perfectly powerful peanut needs everyone telling the story.
For the 8-month period, August through March, peanut exports last year totaled 371,149 metric tons and in 2018 for the same period the total was 323,058 tons, down 12.9 percent. Global peanut production in 2018/19 is forecast down nearly one million tons to 44.6 million, as area harvested in the United States and Senegal is projected to decline. This third-largest peanut production on record would drop global stocks 23 percent.
Argentina, India, China and the United States are likely to remain the primary exporters. U.S. exports are projected to decline 8 percent, mainly on slowing demand from China, dropping U.S. exports to 544,000 tons.
Sources report the Argentine peanut crop is about 100 percent dug and 30 to 35 percent harvested. After the drought came about 15-20 days of rain, further deteriorating the crop increasing crushing stock. The crop estimate is now about 350,000 to 370,000 metric tons including birdfeed material.
Reasons For Optimism
Even with all of these unknowns, I am optimistic. The peanut crop is usually excellent in quality and if supplies could be reduced, prices would improve. Export prices have already increased and some farmer-stock contracts are trending upward. Congress is sure to pass a Farm Bill as the future of agriculture depends on it. Populations are growing around the world, and peanuts will help solve hunger problems.

To encourage its citizens to use bitcoin, El Salvador’s state-owned digital wallet company Chivo will give citizens a discount on fuel payments.
Bitcoin wallet “Chivo” cooperates with major gas companies:
Announced Mr. “Najib Bokela” PresidentEl Salvador yesterday, a new feature onadoptionAlpetkoan in El Salvador.
He tweeted that the government of El Salvador is seeking to reduce the cost of fuel in the country for bitcoin traders.
The government will absorb the additional fuel cost increases in international markets for one year.
According to Bukele, this will reduce gas prices in the country for consumers and small businesses and boost the economy.
The Bitcoin wallet Chivo will play a role in lowering gas prices, as Chivo has partnered with the largest gas stations in the country, which will make gas $0.20 a gallon cheaper for its wallet users.
The president says this will help erase many of the increases in fuel costs.
According to the same spokesman, the benefit is universal, and applies to public transport, businessmen, individuals and companies in El Salvador.
Bukele believes this provides another direct relief to Salvadorans.
Another step towards Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador:
Although not directly mentioned by the president, the Chivo partnership also provides a financial incentive for citizens to transact in bitcoin.
Since El Salvador’s Bitcoin Adoption Law was passed in June, many in the country have refused to adopt it.
Despite protests from citizens, media and bankers alike, Bukele has been stubborn in enforcing Bitcoin adoption across the country.
When the Chivo wallet was launched, the government offered free $30 worth of bitcoin to citizens as an incentive to use it.
In addition, the government appears to be hoarding bitcoin at every opportunity.
Just last week, El Salvador bought 150 bitcoins, bringing its total bitcoins to at least 700.

For 2011, Honeywell says it expects sales of $36.1 billion to $36.7 billion, up 12 percent to 14 percent over 2010. This excludes the divested Consumer Products Group business (CPG), which is being treated as discontinued operations.
Honeywell is reaffirming 2011 proforma earnings per share of $3.85 to $4, up 28 percent to 33 percent, over 2010. This includes discontinued operations of approximately 25 cents.
In addition, Honeywell has updated its third quarter sales, which will be in the range of $9.1 billion to $9.4 billion, up 12 percent to 15 percent. The company said "healthy" organic growth of 7 percent to 9 percent is anticipated.
Third quarter 2011 earnings of 96 cents to $1.01 per share will be near high-end of range and include earnings from discontinued operations (CPG) and assumes full deployment of after-tax gains from sale of CPG (~$165M) and OPEB curtailments (~$80M).

But all businesses in the shopping center, located at 6300 S. Kingery Highway, are open and operating under normal business hours, said Nick Wibbenmeyer, senior vice president for Regency Centers Corporation, the center's owner.
"It can be a painful process in terms of noise and traffic, but we are doing our best to get the work done as soon as we can," Wibbenmeyer said.
Construction began June 22 after Regency Centers Corporation decided to update the façade of the shopping center to match that of Whole Foods, Wibbenmeyer said.
The company also decided to repave the parking lot and add new lighting, landscaping, signage and outdoor eating areas, he said. This is a multimillion dollar project that Whole Foods and Regency Centers Corporation are paying for, he said.
The Whole Foods plans to open later this summer, and the construction of the surrounding businesses will hopefully be done in time for the grand opening, he said. The shopping center construction should be completed by the fall, he said.
"Our goal is to make the shopping center feel like a new shopping center," Wibbenmeyer said. "I think it will be well worth the wait for the community and the tenants."
Whole Foods still has a six years left on the lease of the store it operates from about a block away from the new location, said Tim Halik, village administrator. The village is not sure what to do with the old location once Whole Foods moves, he said.
There are 26 businesses operating at Hinsdale Lake Commons, with five vacant spaces, according to Halik. Seventeen of these businesses around the new Whole Foods location are fenced off for construction, with banners and pathways leading customers into each business.
LaVida Message has seen a minimal decrease in customers since construction began, but regular clients are keeping business afloat, said Catherine Douglas, general manager.
The construction noise can only be heard in the lobby, which has also helped business because clients coming in for appointments receive service in the back of the building behind a large black door, Douglas said.
"It has dented business a little, but we are excited for how beautiful it will be," Douglas said. "This hub has really grown a lot these past few years."
Beltone Hearing Aids has also had to worry about construction noise when conducting hearing testes, said Louise LaFrancis, a patient care coordinator.
LaFrancis said that she has had to call the construction foreman a few times to ask him to either stop construction or to move to a different area during a hearing test, and the workers have been accommodating.
Beltone Hearing Aids hasn't seen a decrease in business because patients have to make appointments to receive care, she said.
"I warn them about the construction," LaFrancis said.
Fannie May Candies, the business directly to the right of the Whole Foods, has seen a decrease in business, but manager Shannon Stoddard said that July is usually a slower month for the company, so it's hard to say if the construction is negatively affecting business.
Stoddard said that the banners pinned to the fences around the businesses have helped bring in more customers to the shopping center.
But, Phillies Pizza has had it's sign taken down and there are no fences and signs placed around it because construction has not yet reached the businesses in the farthest west corner, said Philip Palcowski, a partner of the pizzeria.
It is difficult to say if business has been affected by the construction because the restaurant has been established in that location for 29 years, Palcowski said.
"Of course it effects everyone's business up and down, but the hope is it will increase business," Palcowski said. "Any remodeling enhances the customers eye and appeal."

Why we invested in Resolver, the company transforming consumer rights
This month Vodafone, the second largest mobile phone company globally, was fined a record 4.6 million pounds for failing customers in the UK.
At the heart of its problem was the company’s inability to handle the vast numbers of customer complaints it received over a 17 month period. At a time when customers not only have high expectations of the service they receive, but can voice their concerns on social media, the fine represents more than an immediate financial concern for the company. And this is not an isolated example. There has been increasing pressure placed on Britain’s regulators to ensure customers are being protected. Sky, the largest pay-TV group, were told in September that they may have violated consumer rules by making it too difficult for customers to cancel or switch providers. Customer satisfaction is key.
It is for this reason are delighted to announce that we have invested in Resolver.co.uk, a company on a mission to arm the customer and solve this very problem using cutting edge technology and sophisticated AI techniques. The team at Resolver.co.uk have built an impressive product which empowers the customer. Not only does the site help educate the consumer on their rights, it makes the process of complaining faster, it also works with independent regulators for cases where no immediate resolution is found. Resolver.co.uk, ultimately, democratises this usually burdensome process which can so often end with an unsatisfactory dead end.
Resolving Ltd was started just two years ago by James Walker. He has built a product with significant market traction with an impressively small team. We met the team about two years ago and it has been a pleasure to watch their idea grow into the business it is today. The company, which enables fast and fair customer resolution, sits alongside other SaaS companies we have invested in the consumer satisfaction space, such as Trustpilot and Conversocial. We are thrilled to formalise our partnership with them on their mission to transform the experience of the customer, consumer rights and complaint resolution.

Air freight experienced its biggest drop, in volume, demand and shipments all in 2019. Indeed, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said this hasn't happened since 2009.
As Alexandre de Juniac, Iata's director general and chief executive officer said, "Trade tensions are at the root of the worst year for air cargo since the end of the global financial crisis in 2009." This drop is due to an accumulation of political, economic and social problems.
Since the crisis in 2009, all trade was affected specifically the industry of transport and logistics. However, this crisis won't last. Indeed, this fall in demand for air freight is due to political and economic problems in the various regions of the world.
The IATA's annual report shows the very poor results obtained this year on the world market. This is a considerable drop in the transport industry as a whole, with freight volume falling by 3.3%.
It can be seen that depending on the region, the results may differ. For example, in Africa, no international FTKs (freight tonne kilometres) have been contracted. But this region will experience better growth thanks to Asia's investment: airfreight volumes were sustained.
In contrast, Asia has been the most affected by the decline in demand. Indeed, we know that this region is popular for the world's manufacturing. Asia has seen its volume fall by 6.4%.
With the arrival of the Coronavirus, this should not reverse the trend. It complicates the transport of trade between external and internal countries. However, it will not impact the market in the long-term.
"While these are easing, there is little relief in that good news, as we are in unknown territory with respect to the eventual impact of the coronavirus on the global economy. With all the restrictions being put in place, it will certainly drag on economic growth, and for sure, 2020 will be another challenging year for the air cargo business." Says Alexandre de Juniac, Iata's Director General and CEO.
The European market were impacted by changes to the European agreements. Brexit, approved by the British, disfavoured the flow of trade. Indeed, this break accompanied by less efficient activity in Germany caused that fall.
In America, the fall was caused by social problems and economic difficulties in many American countries (from the second half of the year), leading to a 5.3% reduction in FTKs.
Finally, the Middle East region got caught between the problems in Asia and the changes in Europe. As a result, it lost 4.8% growth in 2019. Therefore, the region has lost all the growth it had generated in 2018 (4.6%).
Despite this year's air freight crisis, IATA remains confident for the year 2020. Because this drop in demand is due to many factors in each region, but which are not permanent over time. The situation is not expected to get any worse despite recent events such as the coronavirus.


text: Amid the news industry’s crisis and the attendant fingerpointing over the causes, there is seemingly endless discussion these days of the pros and cons of things like micropayments, pay walls, aggregators, Google and the like. “We’re being ripped off by Google and the aggregators,” say the traditionalists. “We need to find some way to make people pay for our journalism. Otherwise we can’t support newsrooms full of reporters and great investigative projects.”“Google is not the enemy—it’s driving traffic to news,” say the modernists (including me). “You can’t put the genie back in the bottle and get people to pay for news. There’s too much competition from free sources.”But maybe we’re all looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope—or rather, the microscope. Maybe there is something in the news business that people might want to pay for. It’s just not what some of the pay-proponents think it is. Maybe—maybe—the thing you can charge for is the package the news comes in, not the specific news items themselves.Let me explain.The focus of the pro-payment crowd seems to be coalescing on getting people to pay for news by the story. They generally concede (thank God) that so much news is commoditized that it’s all but impossible to slap a pay wall on an entire news site. But maybe it’s possible, they hope and pray, that people will buy news by the bite, paying to read particular stories and even—in some of the wildest fantasies—paying to forward those stories to their friends (good luck with that).But you know what? Nobody’s ever bought news by the story. This isn’t iTunes, as Clay Shirky and others have pointed out, where you buy something you keep and want to enjoy over and over. News is ephemeral, and the sell-by date is generally measured in hours. Nobody’s going to keep a copy of even the best news story, just for posterity (except maybe the reporter’s mother). As Jack Shafer points out, there are so many ways to evade a subscription wall—many of them with rich traditions in journalism—that it will be impossible to maintain the exclusivity needed to make such a scheme work.What people do buy are packages of news, often supported by other, non-news content. Journalists don’t always like to think about this, but the reasons for subscribing to a newspaper often are as much about the comics, the crosswords and the ads as they are about the news itself. That’s what people plunk down their quarters for: the package, not the story. News collected in a convenient, easy-to-use form that adds value.So maybe we need to figure out how to replicate those traditional collections of news by creating compelling online packages that people will want to pay for. When it’s so easy to find free news all over the Web, the advantage may be in bringing it together in an efficient, attractive, easy-to-digest form, suiting the readers’ needs and desires, to create something of value that they might even want to, gasp, pay for.This may look nothing like a traditional newspaper package, of course—comics and crosswords are just as widely and freely available on the Web as news, after all. But it may take the form of highly targeted, finely crafted packages of news in which readers can find value in the whole rather than the sum of the parts (to coin a phrase). As Shafer also points out, there’s a long tradition of this: magazines like Time and Readers Digest were valuable because they provided quick, comprehensive reads on the news of the day, drawn from multiple sources. Hell, that’s what newspapers are at their core: somebody choosing the best stuff a reader might want to see about what’s going on around them.On the Web, of course, this is known as aggregation, something that not enough news sites do on a regular basis. It’s the notion that editors can act as curators and pick good stuff from a wide variety of sources for their readers. It’s the journalist acting not necessarily as an investigator, but as an expert on a subject. There’s value in that, though it’s not often fully appreciated by many journalists. And it may provide a business model that could subsidize the investigative part of news.On reflection, such packaging actually may be the reason why one of the most celebrated online journalism subscription models is a success: The content of the Wall Street Journal’s Web site really isn’t all that unique—there’s good business content all over the Web these days. But it’s a well put-together, well-edited, yes, well-packaged site that provides readers a one-stop source for up-to-the-minute business news. Is that packaging worth as much as $150 a year? Several hundred thousand people seem to think so. (Yes, it’s imperfect, and yes, many WSJ.com subscribers write off their subscriptions, etc., etc. But the more I think about why I pay for WSJ.com, the more I come back to its efficient packaging. The Journal seems to have figured this out, too: It’s making noises about charging a premium for packages of niche content.)Oddly, journalists have an excellent (free) protoype of what I’m talking about right at their fingertips. I’d imagine that just about everybody who regularly reads this blog is a frequent reader of Jim Romenesko’s indispensable daily digest of media news stories on the Poynter site. But Romensko produces essentially zero original content on his page. He just digests the best media stories of the days and provides links to them. (Funny, nobody in the media ever seems to refer to Romenesko as a parasite, a la Google or Drudge.) That’s the service he provides, and it’s got value: Romenesko is a quick read on what’s happening in the industry. Romenesko fans: Would you be willing to pay for Romenesko’s service? Perhaps. It beats scouring the blogs and other sources he aggregates. This isn’t paying for content—it’s still free. But it would be paying for Jim’s expertise. His curatorial abilities. That’s a news service with value: it’s all about the packaging.Romenesko and WSJ.com are just a couple of examples of great news packaging on the Web. Thinking of those as models, there may well be subscription-based business opportunities out there for highly targeted, edited, aggregated products focused on hyperlocal news, sports teams, hobbies, industries, special interests, whatever, drawing from a myriad of otherwise free sources. Can you accomplish the same thing for free with an RSS reader or a canned Google news search? Yeah, maybe, though it might still be unfocused and inefficient. Can you rely on following a bunch of Twitter feeds to point you to interesting content? Only if you have a high tolerance for a lousy signal-to-noise ratio. But a well-thought-out, well-packaged, well-edited site on a specific topic? That has value, day in, day out, far more than any individual story ever could.I’m still skeptical that people will pay for news, in most cases. But I’ve always thought there’s a business in high-value, specialized information. Maybe high-quality, well-chosen collections of focused news fit that definition. Maybe, rather than paying for news, per se, people will be willing to pay for smart packages of it.

The Android OS is exploding, but you knew that already. The Android Market now has around 100,000 apps (if the stats from AndroiLib are to be believed) and there’s reports today that the OS has outsold Apple. Unfortunately the stats don’t include iPhone 4 numbers, so this perhaps isn’t true quite yet, but researchers Canalys have reported a whacking 886% growth in the Android Q2 figures.
To put this into perspective, the entire smartphone market grew by 64% annually across the world, with big players like BlackBerry seeing a 41% growth and Apple seeing a 61% growth. Android is still perhaps in its infancy and growth is expected but a near 900% increase is still very impressive. Canalys VP and Principal Analyst, Chris Jones, stated…
“Smar phone shipment data for Q2 2010 clearly reveals the impressive momentum Android is gaining in markets around the world. In the United States, for example, we have seen the largest carrier, Verizon Wireless, heavily promoting high-profile Android devices, such as the Droid by Motorola and the Droid Incredible by HTC. These products have been well received by the market, with consumers eager to download and engage with mobile applications and services, such as Internet browsing, social networking, games and navigation.”
