General Motors is celebrating OnStar‘s first 10 years of operations in Mexico, where the company’s telematics platform enjoys a strong customer base while introducing new services for that country.
OnStar has just completed 10 years of operations in Mexico, consolidating itself as the leading brand in connectivity and customer assistance technology in the Mexican automotive market, with more than 250,000 active users in the country and availability in some 25 product lines from Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac. The automaker announced that the celebration includes the launch of three new features that will continue to increase OnStar’s local leadership.
“We are very happy to celebrate the first decade of OnStar in Mexico, a sign of GM’s commitment to innovation,” said President and CEO of GM Mexico, Francisco Garza. “During this time, we have had the opportunity to help many people in emergency situations, we have made people’s lives easier and more fun during their trips, we have helped companies manage their fleets and we have also had the opportunity to collaborate with various NGOs such as the Red Cross,” he added.
OnStar’s three new features in Mexico are the new Emergency Medical Assistance service to provide quick help when an accident occurs with injuries, an improvement to the OnStar Guardian service to request emergnecy help from a smartphone, and the new OnStar Business Solutions, focused on small business owners and fleet managers that provides vehicle geolocation and diagnosis.
During its first decade of operations in Mexico, OnStar has assisted in more than 41,000 emergency cases and dispatched around 4,800 ambulances to care for users. It has also become an ally of the authorities for the recovery of stolen vehicles and holds the record for recovery in just six minutes from the moment of the incident. In addition, data consumption from OnStar-connected vehicles is increasing significantly.
“We grew the volume of connected customers by 20 percent from January to August 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, to reach 250,000 connected vehicles,” said Director of Global Customer Connectivity and OnStar Experience for Mexico, Gonzalo Escobar. “Something that we are pleasantly surprised about is the use of internet data with a growth of more than 70 percent compared to last year,” he finished.

Since it officially went live in the fall of 2004, Google Book Search has added more than one million titles to its database, signed agreements with over 10,000 publishers and, after overcoming some initial reluctance from international publishers, has moved aggressively overseas. Despite the ongoing legal battle between Google and publishers and authors over the company's library scanning project, most publishers have increased their involvement with Book Search, said Tom Turvey, director of Google Book Search partnerships. The most prominent exception has been Random House, which does not have any titles with Google, preferring to develop its own search capabilities through Insight. Random spokesperson Stuart Applebaum said the publisher “continues to have periodic conversations with Google.”
For most publishers, however, Book Search provides the most effective way for their books to gain exposure on the Internet. The STM publisher Springer Publishing has put 30,000 titles in Book Search, and Paul Manning, v-p of book sales at Springer, said being part of Book Search “has allowed us to put lots of content online in a controlled way.” Hal Hallstein, manager of e-media at the independent publisher Wisdom House, said Book Search has been “a big help in getting more of our books being discovered, and that's our major objective.” Both Springer and Wisdom are also pleased with the amount of page views and clicks on the buy-the-book link. Manning said Springer's titles get one million page views and 35,000 buy-the-book clicks each month. Springer has been working to determine how many of the clicks convert to sales, but Manning said sales through many of Springer's retail partners, particularly overseas, are up. One surprise Manning has discovered by analyzing the clicks is that 20% of the clicks are for books that are over 10 years old.
While Springer is willing to let book sales go through a retail partner, Hallstein likes that Google makes Wisdom's home page the first buy option. The publisher is trying to build its direct-sales business, and the link from Google has been a boost. Hallstein said customer links to Wisdom's site from Google give the publisher more chances to sell other Wisdom books and build relationship with customers.
While Manning said his experience so far with Google has been a good one, he hopes Google will continue to innovate and to talk to its publishing partners. Turvey said that's what Google plans to do. The most pressing issue for publishers, other than selling a physical copy of the book, is how they can sell content online. To meet that need, Google has been developing Google Online Access, which would allow customers to buy or rent a book's content. Turvey said Google hopes to launch that option this year, but work is still being done. Turvey said Online Access “needs to be as inclusive as possible and useful to trade publishers as well as professional publishers.” Turvey said Google is receiving feedback about Online Access from its partners and is incorporating that into the final product.

Things have been very busy since my last blog. There has been some movement in response to the proposed federal food safety regulation that has been heartening. A particular senator actually solicited some input from some of us smaller growers and recently the Hanover Consumer Coop urged its membership to contact their senators and representatives with their concerns about the effects of the legislation (as written thusfar) upon thier local farms and as well as their local food supply. So I wont belabor the discussion other than to say that it would be helpful if you are concerned as well to contact your legislator. Can’t hurt to be heard, and the stakes are significant.
So this week the “rattle and hum” of the farm gets turned up a notch. The crew is being assembled, people are collecting at the farm to get underway for the 2010 season. Liz and I have been busy taking vegetative cuttings of various ornamentals while Mike has sowed the onions for the field. I have been seeding perennials for the greenhouses and Liz and I grafted the first batch of greenhouse tomatoes last Friday (350 plants). Later this week we will open greenhouses to pot up the first of the incoming rooted cuttings and liners. Mike and Ray will fire up the soil potting machine and the peat dust will return to the shelves we worked on all winter to clean up. There will be plenty more gray,damp,snowy,muddy days but this week we definitely will turn the corner on spring.

Contrary to the popular rumors about Motorola, they seem to be full throttle these days, releasing hot and cool phones. Today we've come across the Motorola VE66 after only yesterday they announced officially the high-class Motorola Aura.
The leaks about the Motorola VE66 suggest that the new baby is geared with some high-end features as 3G, 5 MP camera, Wi-Fi and runs on the Linux OS Montavista v2.6.10.
Motorola VE66 is a slider phone with a large 2.4" 16M color TFT display (maybe even touch sensitive?) and is swift-winged thanks to the Freescale SCM-A11 500MHz processor. The 5MP autofocus camera can also record video with QVGA resolution, but we are uncertain if it will carry the Kodak branding. The cam phone has also Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP and microSD card slot.
There will be two versions of the Motorola VE66 - the first one will have quad-band GSM/EDGE support and no 3G (for the Chinese market) and the second version will support UMTS and HSDPA. The 3G support is really welcomed, because the Motorola ZN5 lacks it.
If the source photos are legitimate, we can conclude that the VE66 will even have four touch sensitive keys below the display. We look forward the official Motorola announcement of this cool phone hoping for more details soon.
Hoping this VE66 can display animated wallpaper when stand by, not merely run its screensavers as usual Motoral phones. Even cheaper cellphones & most of other branded cellphones can display it. Last week I bought Motozine ZN5, that I thought today M...

The proposed eighth Directive on Administrative Cooperation was beforehand reported on by CoinDesk, and will have wide-reaching implications together with forcing non-EU primarily based firms to must register with tax entities there.
In an announcement, the EU Commissioner for tax, Paolo Gentiloni said, “Anonymity implies that many crypto-asset customers making vital earnings fall below the radar of nationwide tax authorities. This isn’t acceptable.”
The enforcement of the measures was not made fully clear, because the cryptocurrency business has numerous entities and actors residing in numerous jurisdictions, together with some who declare no base of operations. Past that, there needs to be concern for the honeypot of consumer information that registering consumer holdings creates. Typically, holdings on centralized exchanges (which are dangerous in their own right) are paired with delicate figuring out data which may doubtlessly be utilized by criminals to connect folks to their holdings.
There have been numerous circumstances of documented data leaks in and outdoors of the cryptocurrency industry: and these are merely those that floor. Forcing firms to supply European tax authorities — together with firms primarily based outdoors of the EU — as soon as once more forces corporations to gather copious quantities of knowledge exposing consumer holdings, after which transmit them to tax authorities in Europe whom they need to belief to maintain them secure.
Considerations have additionally been voiced that this might have ramifications for the EU’s Markets in Crypto Property Regulation (MiCA) which is the “first all-encompassing effort to sort out cryptoassets and brings guidelines contained in Mifid, Market Abuse and the Prospectus Regulation to the cryptoasset business,” in keeping with the International Financial Law Review (IFLR).

The EU has mentioned it believes the transfer may generate as a lot as $2.5 billion (2.four billion euros) by the introduction of the directive.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — As we say good riddance to 2011, we must, tradition dictates, look ahead to 2012.
But why must we? Predictions tend to be way too predictable, too more of the same. Literally: “The Cloud will grow even larger in 2012.” “Facebook will get even more ad revenue.” “Amazon will devour the rest of the civilized world.”
So what else is new? Well, here are just three things from all of the countless stories predicting what will happen in 2012 that could be of relevance to the investor, and they’re certainly not more of the same.
New new media on steriods
Mark Anderson, editor of the Strategic News Service, argues persuasively in a Forbes guest column that people are now ready to pay for a broader range of online content. He foresees a bonanza of media and technology opportunities as a result: “Get ready for new devices, new content, new bundles, new connection techniques, new distribution channels, new aggregators, new pads, new phones, new players, new self-published authors, new garage bands, new consumption models riding on social networks: there is nothing but high energy in the content consumer market. People are now ready to spend subscription money for this sector, and the publisher response will be huge.” Whew!
The death of junk mail
IBM /quotes/zigman/230066/delayed/quotes/nls/ibm IBM -1.08% , in its annual list of predictions of the top five technologies that will become commonplace within five years, says junk mail will die, but not of a lingering illness. In fact, the company says, junk mail will become so personalized, so relevant to the individual recipient, that it will no longer be considered spam.
IBM also predicts that you will be able to use your mind to control devices, wearing a device that reads your brain activity.
Wines for Christmas
Can't figure out what wines to serve on Christmas day? WSJ's wine columnist Will Lyons picks his best buys for the festive season.
The New York Times points out that IBM is actually conducting research on many of the future developments it mentions, so there’s an element of advance advertising in its predictions. Hey, if the company can pull these things off, it deserves the free publicity. Read New York Times item.
The social shakeout
Gartner Group, in its annual list of predictions, forecasts that the investment bubble in consumer social networks will pop in 2013, and the bubble in enterprise social software companies will pop in 2014. Gutsy call, but it might be wise not to count on their timing being all that accurate. Read more about Gartner’s predictions on Forbes.
Weekly Web in brief
Apple Will Reinvent TV, But Not Soon: Apple Inc. /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed/quotes/nls/aapl AAPL -0.74% has been reinventing bits and pieces of TV for years. It’s got a mini-TV device, and a set-top box, and of course various devices that display TV programming among other uses.

According to BNM’s press release, Coinzer used the unauthorized images of the BNM logo and the Malaysian coat of arms on the physical design proposition for the coin, its white paper, and its website. BNM adds that crypto investments are risky and are not considered legal tender in Malaysia.
Responding to BNM’s statement, Coinzer announced on their website that they took down the contentious design on March 7:
“We want to clarify that the Coinzer physical coin's design is based on conceptual design, which are initially intended to be used as a token of appreciation to our partners and contributors. This physical coin design proposal however has been removed from our latest edition of Whitepaper...”
Coinzer’s statement continues, elaborating on their desire to work with the Malaysian government in the crypto and Blockchain sphere.
Even though the industry is relatively unregulated, “regulators in many countries especially Malaysia are aware that this new technology and financial innovation will not only enhance productivity of economic activities, but also make financial intermediation more seamless:”
“Coinzer is working closely with the Malaysian Government and the relevant authorities to acknowledge and approve our operation in Malaysia as well as to help them better understand both Coinzer and the industry more broadly: how cryptocurrency platforms like Coinzer work, how Coinzer will help build a better economy for Malaysia and how other countries are proposing regulation.”
According to the white paper, Coinzer’s Initial Coin Offering (ICO) was set for January 1, 2018, consisting first of a private limited pre-sale, then a public pre-sale, and then the ICO, which will last for one month. Coinzer tokens (CZC) are offered at a price of $0.05 per token, with a token cap of 21 bln.
In November 2017, the governor of BNM released a statement announcing that the bank would soon be releasing cryptocurrency regulations that would prevent criminal activity, as well as maintain the stability of the financial system.

Soonr, one the older companies using cloud technology to make users’ data accessible from anywhere, has nailed down $4.5 million in a fourth round of venture funding to strengthen its sales and marketing operations, and to build new partnerships — the company’s lifeblood.
Based in Campbell, Calif., Soonr provides users with a platform to store their documents online, allowing them to collaborate, easily search through content, and access files via both their computers and their mobile phones. And its auto-backup feature means you don’t ever have to manually sync these files.
“What we’re looking at with this investment is to extend these services,” says Soonr chief executive Martin Frid-Nielsen. “In addition to that, we have been very focused on partners and working with mobile companies and others around the world, including Cisco and Intel. So we’re going to also use the funding to continue building partnerships.”
In addition to providing access to information on-the-go, Soonr emphasizes data security. The cloud industry is poised to explode to $295 million and the smartphone industry to $5 billion by 2013. With so much rapid growth, security measures are more important than ever, Frid-Nielsen says.
“There will be a need to make sure we have access to all information at all points in time, and that it’s secure and protected no matter what,” he says. “If you look at small businesses today, there is so much outsourcing, outside consulting, specialized talent — there’s a very dynamic workflow there that we’re focusing on enabling.”
One of the more notable facets of today’s news is that Soonr has brought on HighBAR Ventures as a new investor. While it’s not a very well-known name, it’s got several high-profile people behind it, including early Google and Sun Microsystems investors. The firm joins Cisco Systems, Intel Capital, Presidio Ventures and Clearstone Venture Partners.
“I think what they found exciting is that we’ve been able to crack the partner channel,” Frid-Nielsen says. “There are a lot of companies that come out with a service, get a million or so users, but then can’t monetize. We have a number of partnerships that shows we have the business model down.”
He says that Soonr boasts the three major driving forces that make cloud-based companies successful: the ability to cut down on IT personnel and streamline information technology infrastructure; access to a top-tier partner channel; and a buying audience of prospective users. Soonr reaches millions of users through its partnerships.
The company’s services work across carriers and mobile handsets, including the iPhone, Android and Blackberry smartphones. It previously raised $18.5 million. Frid-Nielsen says it will also have a series of announcements before the end of the year regarding new applications and fresh, expansive partnerships.

Researchers Haoyu Liu and Paul Patras of the College of Edinburgh and Douglas Leith of Trinity Faculty in Dublin made the invention after conducting an in-depth evaluation of flagship telephones from Xiaomi, Oppo Realme and OnePlus.
The examine, “Android OS Privateness Underneath the Loupe – A Story from the East,” revealed that the preinstalled apps ship giant quantities of personally identifiable data to system distributors and Chinese language cellular community operators, together with these not offering service to the telephone. The collected information included persistent system and site identifiers, person profiles and social connections.
Chinese language smartphone manufacturers have taken a much bigger share of the worldwide market lately, with newer fashions gaining a fame for being highly effective but reasonably priced.

Based mostly on the findings, the telephones bought in China have three to 4 occasions extra preinstalled third-party apps with eight to 10 occasions as many permissions than telephones distributed in different nations.

Although details are sketchy, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn just announced that the company will build electric cars (not hybrids) in the United States. The company will release further details after it hears from the Department of Energy about its application for loans to build more fuel efficient vehicles.
At the same time, Ghosn took a swipe at the gas-electric hybrid Toyota Prius and Honda Insight, pointing out that hybrids have captured less than 7% market share.
Nissan's plan to build battery only electric vehicles (BEV), and not plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) is interesting. As noted at the recent United States China Green Energy Council seminar on Electric Vehicles, the number of companies planning to build BEVs is two times the number planning to build PHEVs. BEVs tend to be more expensive than PHEVs because of their reliance on batteries. Further, BEVs will put more pressure on worldwide battery production. These are just some of the tradeoffs between BEVs and PHEVs that should be examined more closely.
The question going forward is whether BEVs and PHEVs will be mutually exclusive, or whether they can co-exist.

A report by the Center of Automotive Research at the university of Duisburg-Essen in Germany has revealed that Mercedes-Benz, currently the number three luxury carmaker, could move up to number two in 2015, Automotive News reported. Mercedes owned the second slot until last year, when Audi overtook it. BMW has held the lead in the luxury market since 2005.

Things have started to settle down as many investors were left licking their wounds after the 2022 crypto crash. The strongest cryptos have leveled out, and some are even making a strong comeback with some impressive gains.
So what is the best way to invest in cryptocurrency right now? Let’s examine whether it’s best to go for tried and trusted projects like Cardano (ADA) and Uniswap (UNI) or if now is the time to buy the new meme coin that everybody is talking about, Dogeliens (DOGET).
Dogeliens (DOGET) is a brand new meme coin currently at the presale stage. It is hoping to cash in on the wild popularity of other dog-based meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). However, it prides itself on being much more than just another meme coin.
What makes it different from other meme coins? Well, for a start, it will have added utility, meaning it will do much more with your capital and will have genuine use in the market. Many meme coins rely on hype and influencers to boost the price.
Dogeliens (DOGET) is a decentralised platform for holders, users, and investors. On the platform, users can stake and earn coins with open-source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency. It will enable buyers and sellers to exchange crypto with no hassle and execute trades online anonymously and securely. All of this will happen without needing a third party, which amounts to a big saving in fees.
Uniswap (UNI) has enjoyed a highly positive week, sparked by the announcement that it has moved to acquire Genie, an NFT marketplace aggregator. This will expand its products to include ERC-20s and NFTs.
From autumn 2022, users will be able to buy and sell NFTs without any third-party interference directly on the Uniswap (UNI) web app. They will also be integrating NFTs into their developer APIs and widgets. It will make Uniswap (UNI) a major player for users and builders in web3.
Since the announcement was made 7 days ago, the price of Uniswap (UNI) has shot up by 21.65% at the time of writing.
Cardano’s irrepressible founder Charles Hoskinson is in the headlines again. He has ensured that Cardano (ADA) doesn’t leave the consciousnesses of crypto traders for a second. Brilliantly, he popped up in Congress last week to educate the political elite on the real-world use cases of cryptocurrency.
Using his farm in Colorado as a great analogy, Hoskinson explained how blockchain technology enables marketplaces to thrive. This is due to its permissionless and decentralised nature.
He went on to say that it is absurd to exert such centralised control and that this is not the working of modern-day economies.
It’s hard to argue with that logic. Thanks to Cardano’s (ADA) cutting-edge technology and efficient proof-of-stake network, Cardano (ADA) is and seemingly always will be a great investment.
There is a similar potential for profit if you trade Uniswap (UNI) or the all-new meme coin, Dogeliens (DOGET). The meme coin presents a unique opportunity as the current price of it is low due to being at the presale stage.
Check out the links for more information on Dogeliens (DOGET): Website, Presale, Telegram.

The Swiss bank's research arm, UBS Evidence Lab, has warned of on a whole shopping basket of challenges facing retailers this year, including short-term uncertainty over Brexit, wage inflation, currency and the increasing dominance of Amazon.
"We think Amazon growth has accelerated in 2015 after relatively lacklustre years in 2013 and 2014," UBS analyst Adam Cochrane said.
He estimates that Amazon accounted for a quarter of the total growth in UK non-food retail sales last year after winning more market share in categories such as clothing, homeware and expanding its "Prime" membership.
Meanwhile UBS said a survey of 2000 UK consumers it conducted in January also dampened its outlook for the sector, with three to five per cent more caution around spending than a year ago and only the lower to middle income brackets feeling slightly more confident.
"Given some of these macro and Amazon-specific concerns we think the sector is likely to de-rate by a further five to 10 per cent and hence we lower a number of price targets across the sector," he said.
The bank has downgraded the cycling and car services retailer Halfords to "sell" from "neutral" has cut its price target to 330p from 365p, sending shares down 4.7 per cent.
N Brown shares also dropped five per cent after its rating was cut to "neutral" from "buy", with its price target slashed from 380p to 360p. Debenhams and Marks & Spencer also had their price target slashed by 15 per cent and 10 per cent respectively.

The GCC countries are quite different from one another. You can’t compare the UAE to Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. Businesses operating in the region, like us, have to adapt to each market, which are changing rapidly.
Alongside developing an understanding of the markets, we always keep a close eye on the brands’ performance in every category – fashion for women, men and children as well as home and accessories. An understanding of the trading sectors – mass, value or premium – is also necessary to develop the right strategy for each market.
Importantly, market conditions have changed drastically over the last 18-24 months – what we now call as the ‘new normal’. The GCC economies were buoyant for many years driven by the oil and gas industries. When challenges began to surface, there was a time lag before it hit the consumer market, which is now a reality. Hence, businesses have to define their retail strategies in sync with the changing market conditions. That’s not an easy thing to do in retail because we have to commit stock, particularly in the franchise model, at least 9-10 months in advance for the majority of the brands. Having that said, however tough the market conditions might be, there are always winners and losers.
Businesses like Liwa that are predominantly into franchised business, although we have developed some home-grown brands too, are not only at the behest of the market, but also the host brands in terms of how they are performing. That’s why in turbulent times franchised business can be a little more unpredictable.
In conversation with RetailME, Mark Tesseyman, CEO, Liwa Trading Enterprises, shares insights about general market trends and specifically about Liwa’s current and future roadmap

The Academy Awards took place just a few short weeks ago, honoring the biggest movies and artists in cinema. What better time to hand out a few of our own “awards” to the biggest stories in PR of 2023 so far.
Without further ado, the “awards” go to:
The Hotseat Award: Adidas Yeezy Overstock
In October 2022, Adidas was in the hotseat for taking too long to cut ties with their spokesperson Ye (formally Kanye West) when he made public antisemitic comments on social media. Today, Adidas is left with over a billion dollars in Yeezy merchandise, the brand on which they collaborated with Ye that generated around 10% of Adidas’ annual revenue. In 2023, the company expects to take a significant loss as a result of pulling the merchandise.
Aside from the financial aspects of the ordeal, Adidas is still facing issues as many social media users, activists and more wait to hear what Adidas plans to do with the $1.3 billion of Yeezy overstock. From a crisis communications standpoint, Adidas continues to have a problem. Because their original response received considerable backlash, the brand must tread lightly as they balance their public reputation and their bottom line. Disposing of the merchandise could come off as wasteful, selling the merchandise would still financially benefit Ye due to contractual obligation and donating the merchandise could result in it surfacing in the resale market.
As Adidas executives mull over their options and offers roll in to take the Yeezy merchandise off their hands, the company’s future moves will impact its overall business and investors, collectors, activists and social media users. Communications pros are certainly curious to see what happens next.
There are a few things to learn from Adidas’s missteps. First, act quickly. A crisis communications plan is key to ensure businesses can confidently respond and are prepared with talking points, media training and more. Silence can sometimes be as bad – or worse – than saying the wrong thing and the ongoing speculation regarding what Adidas should do with the overstock merely keeps the crisis top of mind for many. Regardless of their final decision, the brand would do well to remain transparent through the process. When a decision is made, they should be prepared for people to ask tough questions.
The It’s About Time Award: The Academy Finally Gets a Crisis Communications Team
In an exclusive Time interview at the end of February, Bill Kramer, CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, revealed the organization hired a crisis communications team for the first time in its history. The development came after the infamous events of last year’s Oscar Awards Ceremony. As most will easily recall, actor Will Smith slapped comedian and MC Chris Rock on stage. If that wasn’t enough, a separate controversy erupted simultaneously around a campaign that led to Andrea Riseborough winning the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in a small indie film To Leslie. Some argued the promotional campaign to bring the little-known-at-the-time movie to the forefront violated Academy rules related to lobbying members for nominations. The organization had no crisis communications team on hand at the time and the headlines began to mount.
The events demonstrate that even an organization with 70 years of experience broadcasting an award show may not be prepared for everything. Today, a crisis communications plan and designated team is critical for almost any business or organization given how quickly narratives can take on lives of their own and social media can skew perception and sometimes results. Kramer recognizes in his interview with Time that while they cannot prepare for every scenario, having a crisis team and modifiable frameworks in place better positions the Academy to handle whatever comes next.
The Biggest Let Down Award: Google’s Bard Announcement
Modern technology is moving at record pace, especially since OpenAI’s artificial intelligence breakthrough in November 2022 with their large language model product ChatGPT. During the past few months, some of the largest technology companies in the world have quickly developed their own AI tools to compete in the race, including Google. However, in the first demo of their product Google posted to Twitter, viewers were quick to notice and call out the obvious flaws in the tool. Shortly thereafter, Google’s parent company’s shares dropped 7.7%, costing an estimated $100 billion and drawing national media attention in the likes of TIME Magazine, CNN and NPR.
While it may be tempting for brands to rush to tout their own products when a competitor breaks the internet, it’s important to recognize what is at stake. Consumers are keen for near perfect technology and there are enough players in the AI race for investors to explore other options. A proper launch takes meticulous planning and preparation, which requires time well spent.
Before a launch, a good PR team can help give business leaders a perspective of how their product, service or announcement may be perceived by media and the public. For example, in Google’s case, a more carefully crafted launch plan might address limitations of AI chatbot technology such as potential product accuracy issues. When things do go wrong, a PR team can help limit any additional damage by assisting with media requests, crafting statements to address the issue and help brands effectively connect with their audience, even when the audience may be losing trust.
And that’s a wrap on this round of awards highlighting some of the biggest stories in public relations so far this year.

Sensex has lost more than 30 percent
so far this year, that’s nearly 13,000 points and is down about 33 percent
from its record high of 42,273 registered on January 20.
BSE-listed companies have come down by more than Rs 40 lakh cr in the same
period. Tracking the sell-off in markets, nearly 30 companies have turned into
midcaps from large-caps in the same period as fears of economic slowdown gripped
equity markets across the globe.
companies with a market capitalization of over Rs 20,000 cr as on January 1. As
per the Amfi calculations, the top 100 stocks in terms of market capitalization

What to avoid:
- Now the question is – what should they avoid
especially at a time when every stock is available at a steep discount when
compared to their record highs or even 52-week highs.
- Only selective companies have turned into midcap
companies due to loss of valuation. Travel stocks should be avoided for the
next one year, financial markets will take time to recover from the scare of
deadly coronavirus. The best bid is to avoid stocks of travel companies,
especially, focusing on Southeast Asian countries.
- Nair of Geojit Financial Services is of the view that export-oriented business should be avoided because of the reduction in
demand and trade restrictions or those companies that depend on raw materials
from abroad because of supply chain issues (especially from China), will be
impacted materially in the near term.
- These include sectors like Pharma, Automobiles &
Ancillaries and Metals. FMCG sector is likely to see limited impact while the
smaller Public Sector Banks are also likely to underperform, given the
uncertainty in Investor’s mind post the Yes Bank issue and the proposed the amalgamation of smaller banks.

Huawei might take smartphone camera modules to the next level really soon, after partnering up with none other than legendary camera manufacturer Leica.
In a move that surprised and excited photographers that use their phones as easy shooters on the go, with Social Media uploads on the spot, the companies announced they were joining efforts in a press release. The partnership is more of a “co-operation with shared premium ambitions and spirit, which will see both technology and photography brands combining their shared ethos in a long-term commitment to the art of craftsmanship, meticulous engineering and the spirit of winning collaboration, to create a powerhouse in the reinvention of smartphone photography”.
In other words, Huawei will benefit from Leica’s optical expertise and prestige, while the German manufacturer will take a step into the future, where mobile photography is clearly a headline. In the same time, to associate Leica with Huawei means to invest the latter brand with luxury attributes and exquisite craftsmanship.
It is yet unknown how are they going to exploit their partnership but we can expect marvelous products from these two.

Singapore – Real estate group GuocoLand Limited (“GuocoLand”) and Singapore-based property technology company Showsuite announced the signing of an agreement to digitalise the booking and purchase process of GuocoLand’s entire residential portfolio in Singapore, including the upcoming mixed-use development at Lentor Central slated for launch in 2022. With the move towards digitally streamlining the new home purchase journey, GuocoLand and Showsuite hope to improve the workflow efficiencies and experience for all parties, including home buyers, property agents and lawyers.
Over the past two years, GuocoLand has rolled out several initiatives to digitalise the home buyer journey, including virtual showroom and residence tours, digital marketing initiatives and online events. The addition of Showsuites’ digital booking platform enhances GuocoLand’s digitalisation efforts to provide home buyers with a more efficient and complete online purchasing journey from virtual showflat tours to the sales and booking process.
Through this strategic partnership, Showsuite will build API (Application Programming Interfaces) connectivity between its digital booking platform to GuocoLand’s back-end systems to enable a seamless, holistic, and transparent home-buying experience. Digitalisation of the sales and booking process is critical not just for increasing operational efficiencies; it improves the home buyer experience by removing the physical visits and physical signing of documents to finalise the deal. Furthermore, it reduces turnaround time and allows home buyers to readily access transaction updates online.
GuocoLand’s relationship with Showsuite is an extension of the successful pilot to support the launch of GuocoLand’s 558-unit Midtown Modern in March 2021. Through Showsuite’s platform, over 340 units worth more than $600 million were successfully transacted during the launch. Bookings were also carried out remotely from five locations in Singapore, plus a sixth overseas location in Hong Kong. As a result, home buyers, including those based overseas, could digitally sign all booking documents, increasing workflow efficiencies while complying with social distancing measures. Showsuite also conducted Singapore’s first digital balloting exercise for Midtown Modern’s launch.
Besides Midtown Modern, home buyers of GuocoLand’s other residential developments Midtown Bay, Meyer Mansion and Wallich Residence, will now also be able to do so through Showsuite’s platform.
Ms Dora Chng, General Manager (Residential), GuocoLand, said: "We are excited about transforming the home buying process with the adoption of Showsuite’s digital platform. But more importantly, this is about improving our service standards to our customers and their overall purchasing experience. This partnership is also part of GuocoLand’s digitalisation drive in leveraging technology to enhance our business and operation processes and future proof the Group. We are confident that such innovations will pave the way for a more efficient, transparent sales platform and a more seamless experience for all home buyers in future."
In August 2021, GuocoLand announced a pilot project with OCBC Bank and fintech company Doxa to streamline the procurement-and-payments workflow processes for development projects by digitally connecting property developers with banks, contractors, suppliers and consultants in the built environment value chain.
Mr Karamjit Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Showsuite, said: "The pandemic has fast-tracked the process of digitalisation in the real estate industry, and Showsuite is very pleased to lead the way in delivering digital solutions to the new home sales ecosystem. We are very excited to partner with GuocoLand to chart new grounds in customer experience and to digitise and solve more pain points going forward – such as legal contracts, payments, mortgage applications and home furnishing."

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne has been hoping to sell the company to the right kind of buyer for a while now. But, with no serious contenders, FCA has been forced to trudge onward into the future without a bonafide suitor.
That’s rumored to have changed, as numerous sources are claiming Chinese automakers have taken an interest in the Italian-American company. However, whether these are potential one-night stands or a serious courtship remains unknown. Marchionne has previously specified he only wants to see FCA enter into the warm embrace of an established automaker and, while China has them, some would be better partners than others.
Iconic British sportscar manufacturer Lotus may find a portion of its future production shifted to China under the ownership of its new parent company, Geely. Chinese billionaire and Geely chairman Li Shufu confirmed the possibility of some assembly taking place outside the United Kingdom during a press conference following the signing of the deal.
While this could stir outrage in some traditionalists, the Chinese company hasn’t mucked up things with Volvo yet and appears willing to apply a similar hands-off approach to the management of Lotus Cars.

Last week, the IRS apologized for targeting conservative groups in audits for tax exempt status. In response, Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri, is calling for high-ranking officials to be fired.
501(c)(4)s are tax exempt organizations that are supposed to be “social welfare” groups. But in reality, many are Political Action Committees that do not have to disclose donors. A couple of prominent examples are Americans For Prosperity and Crossroads GPS on the conservative end, and Priorities USA on the liberal side.
Millions of consumers have an error on their credit report. In response, Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri held a hearing Tuesday on the consumer report industry.
One out of every five consumers has an error on at least one of their major credit reports, according to a study released a few months ago by the Federal Trade Commission. Those errors can cause consumers to pay more or be denied credit or housing.
McCaskill, who recently became chairman of the Senate subcommittee on consumer protection, called the system “kafkaesque.”
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) says officials are considering the best response to evidence that the embattled Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, may have used chemical weapons against his own people.
First, she said officials are exploring humanitarian options to help the King of Jordan, Abdullah II bin al-Hussein, deal with a flood of refugees crossing his border with Syria, which could uproot the regime of the valued U.S. ally.

Start-up of the week: Newington Green hair salon Buller and Rice promotes eco-friendly beauty routines
- Credit: Emma Bartholomew
The Gazette hunts high and low each week to bring you news of the most interesting and unusual new businesses in Hackney. This week we speak to Stephen Buller who has just launched a new hair salon in Newington Green to reduce the environmental impact of our beauty routines.
Water wastage, energy use and the chemicals in mass market hair dyes mean most hair salons are not sustainable ventures – but Buller and Rice is looking to change all that.
From using recyclable towels, eco-egg sustainable detergent, locally sourced coffee, wine and beer, and eco-friendly products from Davines, Stephen Buller and Anita Rice have also kitted out the salon to be energy-efficient, up-cycled some trendy Belmont chairs, and enlisted Hackney Road furniture maker Lozi to make marble-effect mirror frames from recycled yogurt pots.
The salon even has a resident Brussels Griffon dog Cyril.
Stephen told the Gazette: “Lots of salons have more of a nightclub feel, but being in nice surroundings with a dog is not so intense.

“You can still enjoy a glass of wine and a beer, but it’s nice to relax and enjoy getting your hair done.”

Walmart is launching a new service that allows third-party vendors to hire the retailer to store, pack and ship items for customers, a move that could better position the big-box retailer to compete against Amazon.
Through Walmart Fulfillment Services, third-party vendors that sell clothing or other items in Walmart.com’s marketplace can pay to have the retailer handle the logistics of getting items to a customer’s door. They currently have to use a third-party to handle fulfillment or do it themselves.
Walmart said in an email that it will begin to roll out the new service Tuesday.
Walmart said sellers and customers will benefit from the new service. It said sellers will pay a low fee to store and ship goods. Customers will have more brands to choose from, faster shipping and easier returns. The company did not say how much it will charge third-party vendors.
Walmart is expanding its e-commerce offerings, after having significant growth that’s driven by online grocery sales. The company’s online sales grew by 37% last year, topping its own internal growth targets of 35%. It’s acquired several digital brands, including menswear company Bonobos and outdoor apparel maker Moosejaw, and launched other online-focused brands in-house.
Walmart announced another e-commerce change Tuesday. In a company memo, Walmart executives said they are combining its buyer teams for the website and for stores. Buyers will now be split into merchandising categories, such as food, and they will buy all items in that category regardless of where they’re sold.
Against a broader drop in the market, Walmart shares were recently down nearly 2%. The stock, which has a market value of $324 billion, has gained nearly 16% over the past year.

Netflix may be losing $192 million per month from piracy, study claims
As many as one in five people today are using someone else’s streaming video account from services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Hulu, according to a new study from CordCutting.com. If the results are to be believed, it adds up to millions in losses for streaming providers.
The results reveal Netflix tends to be pirated for the longest period at 26 months, compared with 16 months for Amazon Prime Video or 11 for Hulu.
The study – identifying those not paying for the services as “moochers” – claims 48 percent of Netflix freeloaders often use login details of other family members instead of a friend, while another 14 percent use their sister or brother’s credentials.
Surveyed at $7.99 before the January 2019 price increase, the studies authors calculate pirates are saving $207.74 over a 26-month period using someone else’s account while Netflix is possibly losing an estimated $192 million in revenue every month or $2.3 billion every year.
The numbers estimate Amazon Prime Video is losing $45 million per month due to piracy with Hulu losing $40 million a month.
Not surprisingly, millennials accounted for much of the piracy, the study found. 18 percent of Netflix freeloaders were millennials compared to 20 percent of Hulu users. Baby boomers were more likely to borrow someone else’s account to access Amazon Prime Video.
According to the study, 59 percent said they would pay for Netflix, or around 14 million people, contributing at least $112 million in lost monthly revenue. 38 percent, or 2 million, said they would pay for Hulu with 28 percent, or 1 million people, saying they would pay for Prime Video.
Women – almost 74 percent – were more willing to pay the monthly payment than men (nearly 45 percent) and also happened to watch an average of 509 hours of Netflix every year, 50 more hours than men, the survey found.
The website surveyed 1,127 people. 51 percent of the participants were men, and 49 percent were women. The survey did not include questions regarding live streaming services.

Peaches, plums and nectarines distributed by HMC Farms and sold nationwide are being recalled due to an outbreak of listeria that has resulted in 11 illnesses, including one death and 10 hospitalizations, federal safety regulators said.
Kingsburg, California-based HMC Farms is recalling peaches, plums and nectarines sold between May 1 and November 15 of this year as well as as during the same period in 2022, the company said in a notice posted earlier in November by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA found listeria in testing a sample of HMC Farms peaches in late October, the CDC said.
Sold around the U.S., the recalled fruit may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and at times fatal infections.
The FDA on Monday updated its public health advisory to include more information about the stores that received the recalled fruit.
Additional outlets include Albertsons Company stores under the banners ACME, Albertsons, Balducci's Food Lovers Market, Carrs, Eagle, Haggen, Kings Food Markets, Lucky, Pavilions, Safeway, Shaw's, Star Market and Vons in the District of Columbia and the following 26 states: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.
The recalled fruit was also sold in ALDI stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Virginia.
"Investigators are working to determine if any additional fruit or products made with this fruit may be contaminated," the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated last week in a food safety alert.
People sickened in the listeria outbreak reside in seven states: California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan and Ohio, according to the CDC. One person died in California and another became sick while pregnant and had preterm labor, the agency noted.
Among nine foodborne outbreaks this year, the outbreak is among three involving the germ listeria monocytogenes, and the sole one to have been listed by the CDC as resulting in a person's death. That said, an estimated 1,600 Americans get listeriosis each year and about 260 die from it, with the infection usually caused by eating contaminated food, according to the agency.
Listeria infections can cause serious, and sometimes fatal, illness in young children, frail or elderly people, as well as others with weakened immune systems, according to the CDC. Healthy people may experience symptoms including high fever, severe headache and stomach pain. The organism can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths.
The recalled fruit was sold in 2-pound bags branded "HMC Farms" or "Signature Farms," or as individual fruit that has a "USA-E-U" code and a number, as follows:
- Yellow peach: 4044 or 4038
- White peach: 4401
- Yellow nectarine: 4036 or 4378
- White nectarine: 3035
- Red plum: 4042
- Black plum: 4040
The recall does not include organically grown fruit, the company and CDC noted (See images of all of the recalled fruit products here).
Consumers should check their homes, including their freezers, for the recalled fruit and discard it, agency said. Anyone with questions can call the company at (844) 483-3867, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time.
