There have been rumors floating around that Samsung was planning to deactivate the Galaxy Note 7 devices that hadn’t been recalled by September 30. This would prevent further explosions, like the one that injured a 6-year-old boy.
There was some outrage about this rumor, but Samsung says that this isn’t something the company has announced. So rest assured that there’s nothing official about these rumors and that your Note 7 won’t suddenly stop working. However, you should really stop using it immediately, as the explosions are violent and dangerous. It’s not worth getting hurt over.

Maurice’s, shown here on Monday, March 26, will not re-open. / Nick Griffin
CULLMAN – Several local businesses remain closed on the south end of Cullman after last week’s hail storm caused severe damage to roofs, and in some cases, inventory. Most in the storm’s path are still closed, including many in the Marktplatz shopping center; the AMC Marktplatz theater has re-opened.
Jason Grimmett, vice president of Drinkard Development, Inc., the company that owns the Marktplatz center, said Monday that work has been done to prevent further water damage to the properties, but most still require still require a lot of repairs before they’ll be able to open again.
“We’ve got major damage on the front side, some of the canopies have come off and will need to be replaced, the air conditioning has been damaged, so it’s been hit. From when it first happened to today, I think we’ve made a lot of real good progress. Everything is dried in now, we have a temporary roof so if it does rain we’re going to stay dry, but still some of the shops have not completely got the water out of them yet so those efforts are ongoing,” Grimmett said. “We expect to be able to do a complete assessment mid-week of this week on what has to happen to the interior of the spaces. Some, of course, are worse than others; hopefully some of the shops can reopen in a couple of weeks, and some of them it may take quite a while. Every day we’re getting a little bit closer to having those times identified.”
As of Monday evening, the following stores remain closed in the Marktplatz and surrounding shopping centers, according to Susan Eller with the Cullman Economic Development Agency:
- ALDI– plans to be open first of April
- Five Guys
- Papa Murphy’s Pizza
- ATI Physical Therapy
- Kay Jewelers
- Bedzzz Express
- T.J. Maxx – closed one to two months
- Shoe Show
- Dollar Tree
- Sally’s Beauty Supply
- Lendmark Financial Services
- Super Cuts
- Nail Spa
- Anytime Fitness- Anytime Fitness posted the following on its Facebook page: "We would like to extend a HUGE thank you to the Cullman Wellness and Aquatic Center for their generosity to our members in these challenging times.

You might not have to trade in your analog watch for a new one just to get notifications on your wrist. Last week, a company called Trivoly launched a Kickstarter campaign for a product that will turn your dumb watch smart.
Trivoly designed its small, plastic self-titled unit to be compatible with any watch. Nestled between the watch back and your wrist, the little plastic disc provides notifications from your favorite apps via vibrations and a blinking LED light. So, even without a bona fide smartwatch, you can still follow, and even interact with, apps such as Facebook, Spotify, Gmail and Uber.
Its retail price eventually will be $119. But right now, for a $99 pledge to the Kickstarter campaign, you could score a unit that will ship in February.
Trivoly is more than halfway toward its campaign goal of $100,000, with a little more than three weeks left to go. Trivoly says that, if it reaches that goal, its supporters could have the products they pledged for by February 2016. In the box, supporters can expect a USB charger and the 3-millimeter-thick, water-resistant Trivoly unit, which the company says lasts four days on a full battery.
In addition to receiving notifications from your apps, Trivoly acts as a step counter and a remote control for your music apps and phone camera. With a tap of your wristwatch, you can dial the volume of your tunes up or down, or snap a photo from up to 25 feet away from your phone.
For a $129 Kickstarter pledge (and, eventually, $149 retail price), Trivoly offers the Trivoly 2, which does everything the baseline Trivoly does but also adds full fitness-tracker functionality. The Trivoly 2 uses an optical heart rate sensor to monitor your body and is compatible with popular fitness apps such as Google Fit and Apple Health.
Trivoly isn't the first crowdfunded project of its kind. Last summer, Kiwi launched a Kickstarter campaign for Glance, a display that connects to your phone and tucks into your watchband. However, Kiwi's project raised only $69,000 toward its goal of $150,000. In a week, Trivoly has raked in more than $56,000, and it still has three more weeks left in its campaign.
If Trivoly ends up going the way of Glance, there might be another option for upping your watch's IQ in 2016. Chronos is a small, disc-shaped add-on that is very similar to Trivoly. It's available for preorder now for $99 (retail price will be $129) and will go on sale in 2016.

There’s more trouble brewing for Indian coffee exporters, who are not just facing a slump in overall demand due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but also staring at a loss of share in Italy, their largest export market, to exporters from Uganda.
Indian coffees are facing stiff competition from low-cost producer Uganda in the Italian market, which they have been dominating for over past three decades now. Italy accounts for about a fifth of India’s coffee exports. Indian coffees in Italy are largely sold in the premium segment, such as in cafes and coffee bars. Brazil, the largest coffee producer, dominates the Italian market with half the market share, followed by India, which has a share of around 20 per cent, and other major producers such as Vietnam and Uganda.
“The Ugandans are trying to get as much as possible in the Italian market in the current scenario and that’s a big worry for us,” said Ramesh Rajah, President of the Coffee Exporters Association.
The Ugandan robustas, which are comparable to the Indian variety in terms or quality, are priced cheaper by at least $200 per tonne or about 20 per cent, which is attracting buyers’ interest in Italy, he said. “During normal circumstances, consumers want quality and are willing to pay more.
As the Italian economy is facing a tough times due to the pandemic, consumers are starting to look for better-value coffee. They now see Uganda, which is 20 per cent cheaper than India, as a good value proposition. Vietnam is even cheaper but because of taste and other factors, it is mainly sold commercial packaged coffee segment and not in the premium segment of Italy.
The premium segment got more affected during the pandemic than the commercial coffees and is hitting us the most,” Rajah said.
Shipments drop 27%
Coffee shipments to Italy in the first half of calendar 2020 have dropped 27 per cent at 36,547 tonnes, compared to 50,513 tonnes in the same period last year. The arabica shipment to Italy was 14 per cent lower at 4,774 tonnes (5,577 tonnes), while robusta exports took a major beating as shipments were lower by 27 per cent at 31,134 tonnes (42,658 tonnes). During the same period, total coffee exports from India were down 16 per cent in volume terms and value at 1.78 lakh tonnes (2.11 l t) and $404 million ($482 m) respectively.
“For the unwashed robustas, India is facing competition from lower-priced origins like Uganda. Although the Indian quality is sought after, importers do consider more price-efficient coffees. This is more evident under the current Covid-19 circumstances, where more competitively priced coffees are likely to find favour with buyers,” said Anil Ravindran, Partner at RV Commodities, an exporter in Bengaluru
. In fact, the Ugandans are trying to regain their market share in Italy from the India exporters, to whom they had lost market share about three decades earlier.
“We took the market 30 years ago, and they are trying to come back now,” Rajah said.
Indian exporters had displaced the Ugandans in Italy as the land-locked African producer had faced logistical challenges in shipping out its coffees then.
“We never tried to undercut others when we gained the market in Italy. Our selling proposition was reasonable price and reliable supplies throughout the year and our coffees are better prepared and have less imperfections. We gave better products and started getting premiums. As the customers started getting used to our coffees, the premiums started going up,” Rajah said.
So, it is these premiums that are proving to be a challenge for the exporters in retaining their markets. Though the quantum of premium has come down, the Indian robustas still attract a higher price over the London terminal (LIFFE). At present, the Indian robusta cherry is attracting a premium of $500-$600 per tonne over the LIFFE, while a buyer in Italy can get Ugandan coffee at $250-300 above the terminal price. “We are seen as unreliable now as our premiums are too high. Losing the market to Ugandans will have a long-term impact,” Rajah said.
Further, Indian exporters are finding it difficult to match Ugandan prices as that would mean having to source cheap and reduce the prices, which would hurt the growers’ realisations at the back-end. This, when growers are already reeling under the impact of multi-year low prices. Rajah said the Government should step in and immediately support the exporters to defend their markets, either by increasing the incentive under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) to 5 per cent, or implementing the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products (RoDTEP) scheme at the earliest, while ensuring credit facility at reduced interest rates.

The ongoing shortage of lorry drivers in the UK could lead to empty shelves at Christmas, leading retailers have warned. Richard Walker, managing director of Iceland, told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme that the frozen foods chain was already cancelling 30-40 deliveries per day, meaning that they were unable to start stockpiling for the festive season.
Other chains reporting stock shortages include Nando’s, which has temporarily closed 50 sites due to supply chain issues; McDonalds, which has run out of milkshakes and bottled drinks; Haribo, the sweet manufacturer, which is struggling to deliver to the UK, and oil company BP, which has temporarily closed some petrol stations.
There are also severe shortages in the construction sector, as well as delays to deliveries of furniture, car parts, and electrical goods, the BBC reports. The Road Haulage Association (RHA) says there is currently a shortfall of 100,000 drivers in the UK. The problem has been exacerbated by Covid, Brexit, and a delay in training and testing of new drivers.
Walker, MD of Iceland, called for government action: “The simple solution is that HGV lorry drivers need to be added to the essential and skilled worker list, like other professions such as ballerinas. These HGV drivers have kept the show on the road for 18 months during the pandemic and it’s criminal that we’re not viewing them as skilled workers.”
However, the lorry driver shortage is not just limited to the UK. Global Cold Chain News reports that the problem is pan-European. Although the UK is the worst affected country, Poland and Germany are also experiencing severe problems that are growing on a daily basis, and France, Italy, and Spain are also affected.
The publication points out the shortage has been brewing for the last 15 years, and is not just due to the pandemic. Demand for road freight transport has increased, while pay and conditions in the driver haulage industry are often unattractive to younger generations.

Lands' End has named Federica Marchionni as Chief Executive Officer. Marchionni comes to Lands' End from her role as President of Dolce & Gabbana USA. She will succeed Edgar Huber, who is resigning from the company.
Commenting on the appointment, Josephine Linden, Chairman of the Board of Lands' End, said, “We are delighted that Federica Marchionni is joining Lands' End. She is a multi-talented, visionary business leader with a complete set of creative, strategic and analytical skills to grow a multi-channel apparel brand in a highly competitive and evolving global environment. She has proven product development, retail and international experience, a tremendous passion for success, and a deep network of relationships across the fashion, consumer and retail landscapes.”
“On behalf of the entire Board and Lands' End organization, we truly appreciate Edgar Huber's steady leadership prior to and during the spin-off from Sears Holdings Corporation. With annual sales in excess of 1.5 billion dollars, roots more than 50 years deep and a great team behind it, Lands' End is ready for a new leader to accelerate the realization of the full potential of the brand and drive profitable growth,” Linden added.
Under Marchionni's leadership as President starting in 2011, Dolce & Gabbana USA's revenues increased significantly. She successfully elevated the positioning of the brand and redesigned strategies for expanding it across multiple channels, target customers and geographic areas. While growing the existing business, she oversaw the opening of several key stores – including the 5th Avenue flagship store in New York City as well as stores in other markets including Toronto, Chicago, Aspen and Boston – and also strengthened the brand's partnership with major US department stores.
Prior to that, over the course of a career as a global group director at Dolce & Gabbana that stretches back to 2001, she led business development for business units in more than 100 countries. Marchionni was also Senior Vice President at Ferrari where she acted as the chief executive of a division that generated an important portion of the company's worldwide sales. Earlier in her career, she held positions of increasing responsibility in product marketing and sales at industry-leading consumer technology and telecommunications companies such as Samsung, Phillips, and Ericsson.

After being trapped in a relatively tight range of $6,000 to $6,500, bitcoin jumped above the $6,800 level, putting the $7,000 area in play. However, some cryptocurrency market observers believe bitcoin will have difficulty getting to $10,000 before the end of this year.
Momentum plays an important role in when to buy bitcoin, but what may be surprising is that buying the cryptocurrency after it has experienced big rallies can be a winning strategy.
Sentiment, including what market participants are saying about bitcoin and other digital currencies online, can also be a solid avenue for timing purchases.
“Notably, there was a recovery in the level of activity on the Bitcoin network over the month of July, with the average number of unique addresses and the average transaction volume per unique user improving from the lows seen in June,” reports Forbes. “However, with both of these key metrics sliding lower over the first two weeks of August, the price of Bitcoin has slumped to below $6,500.”
Bitcoin Price Prediction: What to Expect
After reaching a high of $20,000 last December, the price of Bitcoin has fallen unceremoniously to as low as $5,800. Regardless of what the cryptocurrency does in terms of price, some market observers do not believe a steep decline would rattle the capital markets to a large extent given its size relative to the world’s gross domestic product.
“We now expect the Bitcoin price to settle around $9,500 by the end of the year for our base case scenario – down from our earlier estimate of $10,500,” according to Forbes.

Finnish premium beverage brand Veen is all set to extend its product portfolio in India. The brand, which normally sells its range of natural water in traditional glass bottles at luxury hotels, restaurants, bars and nightclubs in India, will introduce its variety of Ayurveda water and Nordic mixers to enter the retail space.
The two new brands — Veen Ayurveda and Veen Nordic mixtures —will be packed as ayurvedic spring water and non-alcoholic mixers from Bhutan.
In an interaction with BestMediaInfo.com, Ganesh Iyer, National Sales, Head, Veen India, said, “We are first planning to choose the modern trade space for our new product sales and in later years, we can target the traditional trading medium,” said Iyer.
Apart from investing in portfolio expansion, Veen is also focusing on social media marketing. Its campaigns will soon be flashed on social media platforms.
The brand that expanded its reach from 10 to 39 cities plans to reach 20 more by the end of 2019. The company targets to sell more than two million bottles this year, which was one-and-a-half million in 2017-18.
Speaking about how receptive Indian consumers are in paying high prices for water bottles, Iyer said, “Our consumers are educated about the fact that glass bottled water is a healthy choice instead of plastic bottled water. Every five out of 10 person chooses glass bottled water for healthy consuming.”
According to Iyer, Middle East, China and Russia are the fastest growing markets apart from India.
Iyer said in India, the northern part tops sales, followed by west and south. The eastern part of the country has the least sales. Iyer said the mineral water range of Veen accounts for 80% sales in India and sparkling water 20%.

5 keys to creating a positive workplace
Saving water has always saved money. But rising water costs are prompting many maintenance and engineering managers to step up their efforts to control water use in their facilities by implementing water-saving plumbing technologies in restrooms.
The demand for water-saving fixtures has gained momentum quickly in recent years, says John Watson, director of technical support for Sloan Valve Co. Programs that encourage green design and practices, such as the U.S. Green Building’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, have bolstered the demand for these technologies. Just as importantly, they have helped organizations realize financial benefits of water-saving fixtures.
“It’s nice to be green and environmentally friendly, but it’s also nice when you can reap other benefits, such as improving your bottom line,” Watson says.
In response to these changes in the market, manufacturers are improving their products and introducing new technologies that make it easier for managers to retrofit and maintain their facilities’ restrooms.
In addition to improving hygiene, touch-free restroom fixtures can help organizations eliminate water waste. While these fixtures have been around for more than 15 years, many organizations still haven’t implemented touch-free technology, says Jon Dommisse, director of marketing and product development with Bradley Corp.
“There are definitely a significant number of organizations that still need to make the switch,” he says, adding that about 50 percent of institutional and commercial facilities still use hand-operated fixtures.
Large facilities, such as airports, convention centers, and casinos, were the among first organizations to convert to touch-free fixtures, adds Jerry McDermont, executive vice president of marketing and development at Technical Concepts.
“There are a tremendous amount of other facilities, such as schools and offices, that still have not automated their fixtures,” he says. Performance issues might be one reason many organizations have been slow to implement touch-free technology: Most first-generation touchless fixtures didn’t perform well.
“The fixtures were not reliable,” Dommisse says. “They shorted out, and there were a lot of problems with sensor-activated fixtures setting each other off.”
As a result, many managers didn’t trust electronic fixtures and stuck with traditional manual faucets, even though they might have dripped and wasted water.
Managers who had a bad experience with first-generation touch-free fixtures might have hesitated to try them again.
“It took a number of years for the average manager to warm back up to considering electronic technologies in the restroom,” Dommisse says. “I think in the past three to four years, companies have really integrated a lot of higher-quality technology into plumbing fixtures that are far more reliable than the historical fixtures.”
Says McDermont, “We’re now seeing a lot of organizations, such as schools and offices, change to touch-free equipment. I think they just wanted to make sure the technology worked and give it a chance to mature, which it did.”
The first touch-free fixtures also were more difficult to repair and maintain than today’s generation of equipment.
“When electronics in these fixtures broke, maintenance was a little tougher because technicians maybe didn’t fully understand how these products worked,” Watson says.
Now, electronic plumbing fixtures are much easier to maintain. For example, technicians had to take nearly everything off a first-generation automatic flush valve to change the batteries.
“Since then, manufacturers have created smarter designs,” Watson says. Technicians now just need to loosen two screws on an automatic flush valve to access the entire module and change the battery pack.
Manufacturers are making further advances that make touch-free fixtures even easier to maintain. For example, some new models incorporate photovoltaic technology. Because these fixtures collect energy from light to generate their power, they don’t require batteries. Not only do these fixtures help maintenance departments save time. They also help organizations reduce their energy use.
Low-flow toilets also have improved dramatically over the past 10-15 years.
“Today, 1.6-gallon toilets are finally making gains in the marketplace,” Dommisse says. “The first ones that came out didn’t flush well, and maintenance departments didn’t have time to unplug toilets. So a lot of managers didn’t upgrade their toilets because they didn’t trust the new technology. Now, the performance of these fixtures is much better, and they are very effective in saving organizations hundreds of thousands of gallons of water.”
The increasing demand — and cost — for water has led managers to take a closer look at waterless urinals, which manufacturers introduced in the 1990s. While many managers might be considering waterless urinals, few have actually installed the fixtures in their facilities.
“Of the total urinal market, about one half of one percent has been converted to waterfree urinals,” says Randy Goble, vice president of marketing at Falcon Waterfree Technologies.
Managers often hesitate to install waterless urinals because of misunderstandings about the products.
“Everybody quickly understands the water-saving and financial benefits of waterless urinals,” Goble says. “But most people seem skeptical when you start talking about how waterless urinals harbor fewer bacteria and produce less odor than manual or auto-flush urinals.”
According to manufacturers, since waterless urinals don’t use water, the units aren’t a breeding ground for bacteria. They also claim that the units eliminate the ammonia odor caused when urine reacts with water to cause ammonia oxide. Finally, they say the sealant liquid in the units’ cartridge is lighter than water and creates an airtight seal, so urine passes through it and becomes trapped beneath.
Just as managers were slow to warm up to touchless and low-flow fixtures, it might take time to convince managers that waterless urinals can perform effectively.
“Sometimes I talk with people who have seen our product some place, like in an airport, and they are surprised it works,” Goble says.
To meet growing demand, more manufacturers are offering touch-free and other water-saving fixtures. This growing range of options might make it more difficult for managers to identify the model best suited to their organizations’ needs.
Managers should be careful about specifying electronic products from manufacturers they never heard of before just because the price is lower than that for a more well-known product.
“If something seems so inexpensive that there has to be something wrong with it, there probably is something wrong with it,” Dommisse says.
Nonetheless, managers shouldn’t rule out new products simply because they’re new.
“One of the biggest mistakes managers make when specifying equipment is not giving themselves a chance to test the different options,” McDermont says. For example, managers might want to compare fixtures that use infrared technology with others that use surround-sensor technology.
Managers also too often specify products that aren’t appropriate for the application. For example, a manager in charge of a facility with a high vandalism rate might try to keep the initial renovation costs down by specifying china sinks and inexpensive faucets.
“The chance of those faucets lasting more than two years is almost zero,” Dommisse says. “Usually, those managers end up getting a higher-quality product to replace the equipment they originally specified and pay 30-40 percent more than if they just would have specified the better product the first time.”
As always, a major challenge for managers will be keeping up with technology.
“I think electronics will become smarter and smaller,” Watson says. For example, the electronics in faucets and flush valves might collect performance information, such as how often they are used, and send that data to a database, where maintenance departments can analyze it to schedule preventive maintenance.

Consumers Drawn to Wireless EV Charging
Few people enjoy spending time at the pump. Similarly, few enjoy waiting for their electric car to charge. Consequently, wireless EV charging tech could be on its way. It’s designed for EV owners tired of even thinking about charging.
In this era of automation, an advance like this would be welcomed all over the world. Currently, North America faces problems with charging station access. Granted, automakers have taken steps to address this problem.
Firstly, Tesla’s supercharger network is massive. The American automaker has spent billions to provide Tesla owners with easy charging access. Secondly, Porsche now offers Taycan owners 2 years of free charging. Unfortunately, EV charging faces a similar issue to Smartphone charging. One size does not fit all.
More than a Pipe Dream
However, wireless EV charging could eliminate this problem. As a result, tech firm WiTricity has taken steps to do just that. It’s acquired “certain technology platform and IP assets” from its former competitor Qualcomm Halo.
Once complete, the acquisition means WiTricity will own over 1,500 patents. All are related to wireless EV charging technology. The transaction combines the 2 company’s powers.
Furthermore, the technology will affect Smartphone charging. Additionally, self-driving cars are guaranteed to benefit from such a breakthrough.
WiTricity originated as an MIT startup. Its primary goal is enabling vehicles to charge anywhere they like. Ultimately, Qualcomm and WiTricity have already experienced success. In 2017, Qualcomm demonstrated a technology that allowed charging while driving. Granted, it was merely a test to assess feasibility.
Nevertheless, it was a success. As a result, the prospect of remotely charging Li-Ion batteries seems quite likely. Consequently, lithium battery tech advances never seem to stop.
A car that pumps itself is almost here.
Ultra Lithium Inc. A team of lithium experts with a finger on the pulse of clean energy news, Ultra Lithium is a lithium exploration company with holdings in Argentina, Canada and the US (TSX-V: ULI, OTCQB: ULTXF and Frankfurt: QFB).

In other respects, according to the previously exposed news, the new JMGO R2 will still use the iconic white panel, and the four borders are almost equal in width. The 100-megapixel sensor will be used for the first time. Compared with the 12-megapixel Sony IMX363 of the JMGO R1, the 100-megapixel sensor size has improved significantly. With the algorithm adjustment of the JMGO team, its imaging is worth looking forward to. In addition, the machine will also support 55W fast charging, and will bring a new Smartisan OS system.
It is reported that the new flagship JMGO R2 will meet with you on October 20th, and we will wait and see for more detailed information.

According to the company, the RTX IO technology suite works with the Windows DirectStorage API to improve compression of games on SSDs. As a result, the hardware can open files faster, ensuring faster loading screens. The application is similar to the new generation of consoles, the PS5 and Xbox X-Series.
In addition to the announcement of the new amp-based video cards, Nivida introduced a number of new technologies for its video cards. One of the new features is the RTX IO, a set of tools that uses the GPU to compress files to improve game storage.
Nvidia points out that thanks to the use of NVMe SSDs, games have been moving in this direction in recent times, but the high processor load still causes headaches.
According to the company, processing information directly on the graphics card guarantees up to 100 times better performance than the solutions currently in use. The method also reduces the load on the CPU and provides about 20% less work for the processor. The manufacturer’s graphics show measured values of up to 14 GB/s with low CPU utilization.
The company also points out that using technology with Windows DirectStorage should reduce the file size. As a result, the trend is for developers to be able to deliver games with faster downloads, resulting in less space being used on the SSD.
NVIDIA confirmed that the tool works with all Amp and Turing GPUs, including the RTX 20 and RTX 30 models. In addition, the company has not provided detailed information at this time about the performance impact of using such a tool.
According to Nvidia, Microsoft plans to launch DirectStorage for Windows next year.

Sony has confirmed that gamers from North America will be able to get the region's first 1TB PlayStation 4 console in November.
The gaming system will be bundled with the upcoming "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" game.
Previously, the Sony console with bulked up internal storage was only available in Europe. But recently, online retailer Amazon leaked details of the 1TB PlayStation 4 for the U.S. market.
Shortly after the leak, Sony confirmed through the PlayStation Blog that the limited edition console bundled with the upcoming "Call of Duty" game will hit North America on November 6.
The bundle will cost $449.99 and aside from featuring the game, the console will also come with a special design. Channeling "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2," the console features orange pinstripes on its chassis as well as the logos of the upcoming shooter's different game modes.
The DualShock 4 controller included in the bundle also features the same design theme, according to PlayStation Lifestyle.
Under the supervision of development studio Treyarch, "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" will come out on the same date as the launch of the 1TB PlayStation 4 bundle in the U.S. Aside from Sony's next-gen console, the game will also be available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows platforms.
The single-player campaign of the game takes place 40 years after "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2." Set in a dystopian future, advanced science and bio-technology play a huge role in the military conflict between countries.
Aside from the main campaign, the game also features two zombie-themed storylines. The first narrative, titled "Shadows of Evil," features four main characters voiced by celebrities Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neal McDonough and Ron Perlman.
The second story, on the other hand, is titled "The Giant" and focuses on the alternate versions of the characters introduced in the Origins map of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2."
In August, a beta event for "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" was launched for a select number of PlayStation 4 gamers. Rob Kostich, the general manager of the "Call of Duty" series for publisher Activision, boasted that the upcoming game will surely delight fans of the franchise with its stunning game play quality.
"Last month's beta on PS4 was a phenomenal success," the executive said according to the PlayStation Blog. "We want to thank the amazing PlayStation Nation for its feedback, for its participation and for making 'Black Ops III' the largest beta in PS4 history!"
"From day one, it has been designed to push the franchise to new heights on next generation hardware," he added. "We cannot wait for you to experience 'Black Ops III' for yourselves on November 6th, and we hope you like the 'Black Ops III' Limited Edition PS4 as much as we do."

Qualcomm develops new chip for entry-level wireless earbuds
Qualcomm developed a new chip designed to reduce power consumption and make wireless Bluetooth earbuds more affordable.
The Bluetooth Audio System-on-Chip (SoC) QCC3026 will help audio device makers manufacture more cost-effective wireless earbuds to further spread the adoption of wireless audio technology, according to a statement.
Qualcomm designed the new chip to be 50 percent more power-efficient than previously released chips. This efficiency should allow for entry- to mid-range wireless earbuds to be more accessible to consumers. Smartphone makers will also be more inclined to bundle wireless earbuds with their devices.The power efficiency should also make wireless earbuds last longer on a full charge.
The company intends to distribute the chip’s design to manufacturers by the second half of this year.
One of the early adoptions of the QCC3026 chip will be on the Oppo O-free wireless headphones. The O-free will cost around $106 (about P5,600) with around four hours of music time per charge. Its carrying/charging case adds an extra 12 hours of battery life. These earbuds can also be bundled with the Oppo Find X Lamborghini edition, as reported by The Verge.
As a point of comparison, Apple’s AirPods cost $159 (around P8,500), has five hours of music time and a total of 24 hours of battery life with the carrying/charging case.
Oppo plans to release the O-Free in China this August. /ra

SEOUL, Oct. 13 (Korea Bizwire) – A total of 29,813 convenience stores across South Korea sell over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Convenience stores first got the green light to do so in November, 2012. Previous restrictions were lifted to increase access to OTC drugs when pharmacies would close, such as the holidays or during early morning hours.
The number of stores that sell OTC drugs has nearly doubled. In December 2012, there were 17,162 such stores.
With the number of pharmacies in Korea standing at 21,626 as of June of this year (statistics from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service), the number of pharmacies now falls short of the number of convenience stores selling basic medication.

- Coinbase users continue to face technical issues.
- The exchange claimed it had fixed the issues.
- Elon Musk warns traders against centralized exchanges.
Trading crypto on exchanges has been regarded as one of the few best ways to make profits in the crypto market. According to a report, San Francisco-based crypto exchange, Coinbase is facing some technical issues. The report states that the technical issue, which is not the first this year stems from a series of connectivity problems the platform has battled with in the past few months. According to a tweet from the support handle of the crypto exchange, both of their platforms Coinbase and Coinbase Pro were said to be down for a long time yesterday.
Coinbase claims issue has been fixed
According to the support handle, the issues resulted in the majority of the customers witnessing failed trades and connectivity issues in their mobile apps, among others. However, a new tweet by the exchange’s support handle has mentioned that the problems were now fixed. According to the handle, traders who intend to use the Coinbase products and services can now do so without issues.
Going by records, the technical staff of the crypto exchange was said to have battled with the problems and only succeeded after two hours. Users were quick to take to Twitter to call out the crypto exchange, reminding them of a previous technical issue about a month ago. According to most of them, the connectivity issues resulted from new traders flocking into the platform to trade high-flying coins such as Crypto.com, Shiba Inu, and GYEN.
Elon Musk wants traders against centralized exchanges
A recent CoinGecko data shows that Crypto.com token CRO saw a massive 300% jump on Coinbase after it was listed in November. Also, Coinbase has restricted traders from buying and selling GYEN since November 19. Even though Coinbase released a tweet today to say the problem was fixed, some users have signaled that they are still facing issues.
According to a user, the problem persisted yesterday before he went to bed, and the problem continued after the platform said it had been fixed. Although the Coinbase Support team is still entertaining questions regarding the issues, the platform has failed to update the technical issues. According to an update by a firm spokesperson, there were issues but all the issues witnessed have now been fixed, and things are up and running perfectly.
Reacting to this, Tesla Boss Elon Musk has urged crypto traders to take their holdings away from centralized exchanges. He mentioned that traders should not consider trading with any exchange that wants to hold on to their private keys for them.

Harare (New Ziana) – An average Zimbabwean family of five required at least $4 188 to meet its basic food and other requirements in December 2019 for it not to be deemed poor, data released on Tuesday shows.
This, according to the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStat) was a 14.5 percent jump from the previous month when the same family required $3 656.
“The TCPL (Total Consumption Poverty Line) for an average of five persons stood at $4, 188.42 in December 2019. This means that an average household required that much to purchase both food and non-food items for them not to be deemed poor,” ZimStat said.
An individual required at least $1 863 in December, up from $1 637 in November.
The increase in the TCPL, commonly referred to as the Poverty Datum Line (PDL), is a reflection of exchange rate instabilities and speculative behaviour that continues to push up the prices of goods and services as business hedge against inflation.
With prices of goods and services varying according to provinces, ZimStat said Mashonaland Central province had the least PDL at $3 799 (up from 3 261 in November) while Matabeleland North had the highest at $4 505, up from $4 048.
The continued rise in the cost of living is a constant source of friction between employers and employees.

Opinion: The Mica bill will simplify the work of crypto companies in Europe
The Mica cryptocurrency regulation bill will benefit small companies related to digital assets. This opinion in an interview with Cointelegraph was expressed by the executive vice president of the European Binance division Martin Brunko.
According to him, now the supervision of the industry in the region is fragmented – in 27 countries of the European Union there are different regulatory regimes. As a result, the exchanges are forced to spend a lot of time and money to ensure complete compliance with the requirements in https://gagarin.news/news/buterin-diaries-whats-he-up-to-these-days/ all jurisdictions.
“We really, I would say, are almost delighted with Mica, because [the bill] creates a single market,” said the top manager.
The current situation in regulation restrains smaller players in their desire to scale, Brunko believes. He urged not to be afraid of new rules, since they will simplify the development of business and allow startups to focus on growth, and not on compliance with the requirements.
“Many large crypto projects were launched outside Europe. If you take Ethereum, it actually began in London, Switzerland and many other places. Since then we have had a huge number of different successful and influential projects from Europe, ”the representative of the exchange added.
In October, participants in the EU Council signed the text of the bill on the regulation of digital assets without further discussion. Mica includes rules that apply to issuers of unsecured cryptoactives, stablecoins, shopping and casteral platforms.
Suppliers of crypto acting services will be obliged to adhere to strict requirements aimed at protecting consumers, and from trading platforms they will need to provide White Paper.
The efforts of the EU authorities in the field of cryptocurrency regulation were concerned about the ex-chairman of CFTC Christopher Jankarlo. He stated that this threatens to impose a European model and will damage the ability of US supervisory authorities to effectively create its own rules.
In September, CEO Binance Chanpeng Zhao called the Mica bill “fantastic”, but “a little strict” regarding stabilcoins. In his opinion, the document may become a “global standard” in the regulation of cryptocurrencies for other jurisdictions.
Recall that in November it became known that the European Parliament transferred the final vote under the bill for February 2023.

Sales of major brand motorcycles in Poland, a relatively young democracy, are quickly escalating, yet the influx of low-priced vehicles supplied by manufacturers in Asia is making an impact there, too.
Approximately 2,775 new motorcycles were sold in Poland in 2004, up from 2,648 units in 2003, according to figures provided to the Warsaw Business Journal by Mitsui Motor Poland, the importer of Yamaha motorcycles. While OEM sales numbers were up, Yamaha did feel a 50% drop in sales of 50cc units. The influx of the low-priced Asian brands played a major part in that drop, said a Mitsui representative.
Yamaha remains Poland's motorcycle market leader with 846 units sold; Honda sold 804 units; Suzuki sold 579 units; Harley-Davidson sold 149 bikes; BMW, 134 units; and Kawasaki, 125 units.
Poland, slightly smaller in size than New Mexico and with a population of about 38.6 million people, is flanked by Germany, Czech Republic, Russia and the Baltic Sea. The country pursued a policy of economic liberalization throughout the 1990s and joined the European Union in 2004. Surging exports to the EU contributed to Poland's economic growth last year and, despite an unemployment rate hovering around 19.5%, many feel the Polish market for two-wheelers has a wealth of untapped potential.
Triumph Motorcycles seems to agree. Earlier this year, the manufacturer signed a distribution deal with Inter Cars, Poland's leading car-parts distribution company, to offer its entire range of 14 Triumph bikes there.

A former Ford training center in Allen Park has been turned into a one-stop shop filled with tools and machines to help would-be entrepreneurs turn their ideas into manufactured goods.
TechShop Inc., a for-profit, do-it-yourself fabrication studio founded in Menlo Park, Calif., will officially open its fifth location with an open house Dec. 27 at 800 Republic Drive, in 12,000 square feet of a 38,000-square-foot building owned by Ford Motor Land Development Corp.
TechShop CEO Mark Hatch said the shop will offer a one-month holiday membership for $49. That price includes two classes and access to all tools and equipment, including computer stations loaded with $30,000 worth of Autodesk design and prototyping software.
Regular membership will be $99 a month.
"This is way more than a machine shop or a hacker space. We're here to help people build their dreams," Hatch said. Other TechShops are in Menlo Park, San Francisco and San Jose, Calif.; and Durham, N.C.
The Allen Park operation is nearly finished being outfitted. Equipment ranges from hand tools to laser-guided cutting machines, drill presses, sewing and embroidery machines, grinders, acetylene torches, band saws, a paint booth, a powder-coating booth, a sand blaster, injection-molding machines, a plastic router and a behemoth of a water-jet cutter that can cut through five inches of granite, steel or titanium.
Fifteen full-time staffers are on hand to help would-be entrepreneurs build their projects, and 15 part-time instructors will teach what is planned to be a range of classes.
The shop will be open 9 a.m. to midnight seven days a week. Once membership passes 1,000, Hatch said, it will be open around the clock.
"With all this equipment and technology, you can come in here with an idea and say, 'I can do this,' " said William Coughlin, president and CEO of Ford Global Technologies LLC, which oversees Ford Motor Co.'s intellectual property.
Coughlin said Ford is encouraging entrepreneurship by its engineers by offering them three months of free membership. "This is an opportunity to create businesses locally and put people back to work," he said.
The local TechShop was Coughlin's idea. He saw an article about TechShop in The New York Times in April 2010 and called Hatch in California to leave a message about Ford's interest in getting one here.
"To be honest, at the time, Detroit was about 29th on our list of cities we wanted to be in and probably heading south," Hatch said. "But we met with Bill and were convinced that there is a depth of talent and skills in the area that were perfect for us."
The open house is free and open to the public. Membership is open to anyone 18 and over.

Monday’s announcement that a vaccine developed by Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech is more than 90% effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 bouyed sentiment throughout the global economy. Cheers were especially enthusiastic from the travel industry, which has been devastated by the pandemic.
Airlines, hotels and travel agencies, and the hundreds of millions of workers whose livelihoods depend on serving tourists and business travelers, are praying the industry will begin to rebound in the second half of 2021. But there is less agreement about the strength of any recovery.
In the meantime, industry leaders are still grappling with challenges they’ll need designers to help them solve: What will it take to reassure travelers that it’s safe to take to the skies and stay in hotels again? What kind of experience will those travelers demand once they depart? And what will help them rediscover the magic of unfamiliar people and places?
Travel in a post-pandemic world may be hard to envision in places like Europe, where in many countries, daily new cases of the virus have spiked to record highs, or the United States, which reported its 10 millionth coronavirus case on Sunday and where new cases have soared above 100,000 a day.
But the promise of travel seems less distant here in Asia, where many countries have succeeded in containing the spread of the coronavirus. China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, are actively discussing forming “travel bubbles” by reopening borders to visitors from other countries with low infection rates.
Meanwhile, The Economist this week sounds the alarm that travel in those post-pandemic bubbles may involve an altogether different peril. In an essay entitled “Flat White World,” it warns: “A new design aesthetic is taking over the world, spread not via brands or FDI, but through social media and the Internet. Even as formal trade slows, the globalization of taste is rampant. Starbucks may not have reached large chunks of the world, but there are very few large cities in the world now in which a visitor cannot order a latte surrounded by exposed wood and vintage light bulbs. Kabul boasts no McDonalds, but you can get a decent burger and fries at Burger House, a restaurant that would not be out of place in San Francisco.”
The reference to “exposed wood and vintage light bulbs” is an echo of a jeremiad penned by American writer Kyle Chayka for The Verge in 2016. Chayka argued that the proliferation of tech platforms like Instagram, Foursquare, and Airbnb were, wittingly or not, producing a uniform style he called “Airspace” that was replicating itself in coffee shops, bars, startup offices, and co-living and co-working spaces everywhere in the world.
Edwin Heathcote, the Financial Times architecture critic lamented the spreading sameness of this new design aesthetic in an August essay that found particular fault with Airbnb, a company born of the desire to make travel more diverse and authentic. He wrote: “The irony is that in looking for a trip, a change of scenery, we have found anonymity repackaged as cool and now we aspire at home to the placelessness of a reimported banality.”
Personally, I have missed traveling this year though not as much as I expected. But then yesterday I stumbled upon Architectural Digest’s write-up of the new Hotel the Mitsui Kyoto, which opened this month right across from the amazing Nijo Castle. It features the work of four brilliant designers—Shunsaku Miyagi, Yohei Akao, Akira Kuryu and Hong Kong’s Andre Fu—and looks anything but banal. I was almost tempted to look for my suitcase.

Family is key to McIntyre Vineyards
CARMEL VALLEY — McIntyre Vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands and Arroyo Seco is a family affair.
Founder Steve McIntyre grows the wine grapes, while he and his wife Kim’s daughter, Kristen, runs the tasting studio at the Cross Roads Shopping Center in Carmel Valley.
The business also likes to treat its employees and wine club members as family, Kristen said.
More:McIntyre Vineyards donating sales revenues
McIntyre Estate Vineyard sits on 80 acres (60 planted) and has some of the Highland’s oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. It is part of Monterey Pacific, Inc., which includes about 12,000 acres of mostly vineyards.
Last month the company received a prestigious award, the 2017 California Green Medal Business Award for sustainability. The vineyard is sustainability in practice (SIP) certified. That means the company reviews, implements and amends practices that impact the earth, its people and future generations.
McIntyre purchased the vineyard in 1987. It was first planted in 1973. The first vintage was released in 2005, and annual production is 3,500 cases.
Grapes are hand harvested and trucked to Santa Rosa, where they are custom crushed and aged in neutral French oak barrels for about eight months, then transported back to Monterey County.
The tasting studio has five employees. It opened three years ago. Kristen, 30, an animal science major at Fresno State University, moved back to the county from Fresno to manage it.
More:Monterey County, where the ocean helps make the wine
“I’ve got big plans for McIntyre,” she said.
That includes expanding the brand, but not growing too fast. McIntyre Wines are currently sold in California, Nevada, New York and Florida. “We’re working on Texas,” McIntyre said.
You can find the wines at various stores on the Monterey Peninsula and in Salinas. The company has about 180 contracts in California and about 50 contracts with restaurants on the peninsula.
The vineyard also grows Chardonnay grapes for Morgan Winery and Pinot Noir grapes for Wrath Winery. Grapes also are used by another winery which makes wine for the Cambiata label. It’s a blend of red wine grapes, including Dornfelder, Cabernet, Syrah and Tannat grapes.
More:Economic Evolution of Monterey Wines
McIntyre said her experience with 4-H as a student helped prepare her for managing the tasting room. She raised, showed and sold pigs, picked up leadership skills and even learned automotive skills.
She said she is enjoying working in the family business.
“I like showing the family product,” she said. “Our family is kind of an open room family, and we have a family dinner every week. … It’s really neat to see something come full circle out of a passion,” she said. “We are lucky to live in this area, with the amount of wine that we have, and to share it with people.”
More:Monterey wines find themselves in new places
McIntyre Wines actually has three Monterey County vineyards: Santa Lucia Highlands, McIntyre Estate Vineyard and Kimberly Vineyard (named for Kim McIntyre) in Arroyo Seco.
Unlike some wines, McIntyre Wines continues to close its bottles with a cork.
“We’re a little more of a traditional company,” McIntyre said. “We really like to hear that cork being pulled.”
The McIntyre Tasting Studio is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, and Monday by appointment. For more information, visit email@example.com or www.mcintyrevineyards.com. Call 831-626-6268.

As Emirati cities move towards a smarter future with AI playing a larger role in the public service infrastructure than ever before, high tech security in connected urban spaces is also becoming a priority for the administration. Surveillance has been strengthened by facial recognition and cameras that can spot aggressive behaviour, even though deployment of such solutions at metro stations did raise eyebrows initially.
But despite concerns about privacy as well as data security, intelligent cameras have become increasingly common not just for security, but also for touch-free check-in at airports and monitoring consumer traffic at malls. In light of this growing demand for smart visual data analysis, an American firm known for making AI-backed cameras has entered the Middle Eastern market via Dubai, under the name Bullseye Sky Dubai.
The US-based company called Smarter AI offers a range of products which can strengthen security as well as law and order, along with business growth in the emerging smart city, with a connected ecosystem that supports such devices. Among them thermal cameras designed for detecting fever among crowds, are crucial to avoid an outbreak during the new normal, as the UAE is getting back on track after a pandemic.
Other than cameras which can flag infections, Smarter AI also makes dashcams to strengthen road security and bodycams, which relay live footage from the daily patrol to a control centre, and can also verify IDs. By linking IP cameras used across a particular space, the firm's technology is capable of creating a surveillance network to fortify security of residents.
At a time when data is the most valuable asset and can be a game-changer for multiple sectors, businesses may benefit from shelf cameras by Smarter AI, and streamline their operations. By monitoring stocks at stores or warehouses, the intelligent devices cut down time taken for managing goods, and also reduce pressure on the staff.
From drones that can scan or control crowds, to cameras that monitor footfalls for a mall or retail outlet, smart cameras are set to empower the vision for future ready cities and ventures.

British companies that send out unsolicited marketing e-mails face big legal bills following a case brought by a Scottish web user.
Gordon Dick took satellite firm Transcom to Edinburgh's Sheriff Court for sending him unwanted advertising e-mail. Dick claimed the e-mail was a breach of anti-spam laws.
Dick was awarded £750 in damages plus legal costs of £616.66, after Transcom did not appear in court.
Dick, of Edinburgh, told the BBC, “The courts have now sent a clear message, spam will not be tolerated and individuals' rights to not have their mailbox filled with unsolicited advertising will be upheld.
"It has been clear to me in front of each Sheriff that they have little time for spammers and their anti-social actions."
Transcom said Dick had “inadvertently” appeared on an annual customer e-mail marketing list. EU anti-spam laws were incorporated into UK legislation in 2003. A website to help recipients sue the senders of spam has been set up.

House & Home (128)
Houses can go backwards
After many months without finding a buyer for his home, David Garcia decided to launch tupisoporuneuro.com , where potential buyers can bid for his house via reverse auction. The bids have a minimum of 1 euro and a maximum of 150 euros and the winner is whoever makes the lowest bid that is not repeated. The scheme works by charging bidders per bid allowing the operator to recoup the cost of the property and auction process.
Why it matters
The reverse auction trend has been buoyant for some time now, and now it appears to be property’s moment. As more and more buyers struggle to enter the market, will auctions become a route to affordable housing? What will this mean for property marketing on the whole?

With an heating efficiency of 95% these ‘Heatballs’ emit light as a side effect.
