The car industry should be braced for more job redundancies as manufacturers and dealers seek to get ‘a piece of a smaller pie’, Pendragon CEO Bill Berman has said.
Speaking to Car Dealer, Berman explained the reasons behind today’s announcement of Pendragon axeing 1,800 jobs and closing 15 stores.
‘It’s a bitter-sweet day, said Berman. ‘The positive side is that on a run-rate basis, once we get through the redundancy charges, it’ll be an annual saving of approximately £40m.
‘We went into this pre-Covid with a strategic review, and with lockdown it gave us the time to put some effort and attention to this. We drew up store models, looked at how the businesses have come out since lockdown ended, and put together a new operating and business model.
‘We feel it will give us the ability to compete and not only survive but thrive.’
During our interview, which you can see above, Berman revealed that during lockdown, Pendragon management wasn’t ‘taking a break’ but ‘got to grips’ with focusing on offering cars for sale online.
‘We can sit here and sell a used vehicle 100 per cent online through all of our stores and all of our brands now,’ he said. ‘We’ll be able to do the same thing with new vehicles in the next few months – stem to stern, inclusive of everything.
‘Just under 20 per cent of our sales during June and July through our Car Store brand were pure digital sales with no interaction except the delivery of the vehicle. This led into our decision today – a new staffing and business model moving forwards. No-one was taking a break during lockdown – the minds and efforts of the management team were put to good use.’
Berman also warned that the dealer group was not alone, as other more efficiencies will be made by other dealers and car manufacturers.
He said: ‘I see a lot of it and I see a lot more of it will happen on the OEM side. My guess is that at some point over the next several months everyone will have some kind of restructuring cost-savings plan – they will have to and everyone is in the same boat.
‘Look at what Ford announced just before lockdown – they were going to get rid of half of their UK stores.
‘Some of our store closures – I won’t say which ones – were facilitated by the OEMs to improve their networks.
‘All OEMs are going to be looking at their network requirements, where they feel they might be over-represented. There will be fewer dealers and lower volumes.
‘The pie is going to get smaller and I just want to get a piece of that smaller pie. OEMs and our retail competitors are looking at it in the same light.’
It’s not just dealers that will be cut in efficient programmes but also brands, the Pendragon boss said.
‘I wouldn’t be surprised if someone comes out of the marketplace and I can see FCA and PSA looking at what they have and changing – they have a lot of brands competing against each other. Does that stay the way it is? Maybe or maybe not.
‘Mercedes in North America announced they were getting rid of seven model lines, and I think we will see a lot more of that. Everyone is financially constrained right now, looking at where the best place to operate is and where the best place to get your return on investment is.’
Up until the coronavirus pandemic, Pendragon was having a strong year, with January and February exceeding internal targets.
Only last month the dealer group announced a refreshed corporate identity with ‘powered by Pendragon’ positioned alongside its Evans Halshaw, Car Store and Stratstone brands, as reported by Car Dealer.

Altech Computers has been appointed exclusive distributor for ELSA videocards in Australia, bringing the vendor’s range of ATi and Nvidia-based graphics cards back into the local market after a two-year absence.
Taiwanese video-card manufacturer, ELSA, left the Australian market about two years ago following a decision to cut ties with its former - and now defunct - distributor, Oxygen Corporation.
Altech sales and marketing director, Safa Joumaa, said the new deal would see Altech distribute the complete range of VGA cards released by ELSA, extending from its lower-end models through to the company’s professional series of graphics cards.
Although Altech already distributed ABIT and XpertVision cards, other “big brand” names, such as Gigacube, LeadTek and Gecube were already firmly entrenched in the Australian market, Joumaa said.
“We were lucky to get the ELSA contract,” he said. “ELSA will be a force to be reckoned with in Australia.”
In particular, Gecube and Gigacube sales will be impacted by the re-entrance of ELSA videocards locally, he said.
Joumaa said Altech initially approached ELSA to distribute its product in Australia.
“ELSA saw how aggressive we are in the graphics cards market and said ‘Yes, you can push our product in Australia’,” he said.
ELSA cards had already proved popular with Altech customers, Joumma said. Initial stock supplies virtually sold out in the first day of sales, Joumaa said.
“Our next order is due in two weeks but we’ve already put order another in to maintain stock.”
Altech had initially ordered 700 to 1000 units of ELSA cards. They included five ELSA Nvidia-based cards, six ATi-based cards and one AGP workstation model.
The most popular model had proved to be the ELSA’s ATi-based Falcox 960XT, which sold out in two hours, he said.
Joumaa said although the quality of the products spoke for themselves, the selling point of ELSA’s range was its warranty returns and replacement of product for consumers.
“A lot of VGA vendors aren’t as good at this – some consumers may have to wait two to four weeks for replacement of products,” he said.

NEW YORK: Data indicates that psychedelics are gaining popularity. For example, in 2019, the Global Drug Survey collaborated with psychedelic researchers to examine the acceptability of psychedelic products and other drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy) and ketamine in the field of psychiatry.
The growing awareness of cannabidiol, or CBD's, health benefits has pushed the market into mainstream retail. And yet, despite its growth of recent years, it is important to remember that cannabis products are still illegal in the U.S on the federal level. This regulatory hurdle is one of the last remaining obstacles that has been holding the industry back to a certain degree. There is plenty of room for growth here, believes Confident Cannabis VP of Growth & Marketing Brad Bogus according to a report by Civilized. CBD is sort of stuck in between prohibition era policies and federal acceptance. We just saw the first cannabis derived FDA approved medication make its way onto the market, which is a CBD medication. Where it goes from here in the world of Big Pharma is hard to say, but the direction will be up, in some velocity. Seniors are more keen to try a CBD product over a THC product, so even on the regular non-pharmaceutical market, CBD will still snag a good portion of untapped market share. International trade of source material is another big advantage of the CBD market, to help it grow.
Newleaf Brands Inc. (OTC NLBIF) (CSE NLB) announced breaking news today that, it has signed a definitive agreement (the Agreement') dated May 5, 2020 with Trellis Holdings Oregon, LLC (Trellis) to acquire 37.5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Trellis Holdings Oregon Op LLC (Trellis) from David Joshua Bartch and Benjamin Martch (the Vendors) by way of a share exchange (the Transaction), as previously announced on February 6th, 2020.
Trellis Holdings Oregon, LLC has been successfully operated since 2015 by a group of cannabis industry veterans and cultivates thousands of pounds of high-quality cannabis per year, including strains that exceed 30% in THC content, and has 7 figure revenues that continue to grow significantly year over year. Trellis holds various licenses with the OLCC in the state of Oregon and operates in both the medical and recreational cannabis markets, maintaining an 11-acre recreational cultivation property in Southern Oregon and operating a medical and recreational cannabis dispensary in Portland, Oregon. Trellis
'We announced the LOI to acquire a position in Trellis some time back and have been working diligently to close the transaction,' commented Joshua Bartch, CEO of NewLeaf Brands. 'This transaction is significant in a number of ways for the company. Not only does Trellis bring a wealth of assets, potential revenue and key personnel but the crossover between the cannabis space and the mycology space is immense.'
Mr. Bartch continued, 'Through Initiative #34, Oregon is poised to be the first territory on the planet to not just decriminalize, but actually legalize, psychedelic mushrooms in some capacity. Given that Trellis operates its cultivation in Sothern Oregon on an 11-acre property that is already owned, debt-free, by NewLeaf Brands, the Company has a unique opportunity to share the land and staff for a potential future mycology cultivation space and laboratory. He concluded, With recent donations to the tune of $1,000,000 towards the Petition from prominent companies such as Dr. Bronner's Soap, the likelihood of the initiative becoming a reality is beginning to look truly promising.'
According to the campaign for the initiative, 'IP 34 gives those suffering from depression, anxiety, and anyone that would benefit, a new treatment option by creating a licensed and supervised psilocybin-assisted therapy system. Rigorous studies at leading medical research institutions such as Johns Hopkins, UCLA, and NYU show that psilocybin therapy is uniquely effective in treating depression, anxiety, and addiction. This promising research has prompted experts in Oregon to advance IP 34 for the November ballot — IP 34 will create a licensed psilocybin therapy program so Oregonians have the best therapeutic options available.'
The Company has entered into the Agreement to acquire 37.5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Trellis, (the Acquisition). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will purchase 37.5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Trellis in exchange for 28,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the Shares) at a deemed value of $0.106 per Share representing, in the aggregate, 33.70% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted and partially diluted basis for an aggregate gross proceeds of $2,968,000 CAD ($2,250,000 USD). The transaction does not constitute a change of control... (PRN/9 months ago)

CARLSBAD, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/03/14 -- Razer, the world leader in entertainment devices and software, today announced its much-anticipated Razer Junglecat gamepad for iOS devices. Leveraging its significant experience developing high-performance gaming controllers for console and PC, Razer's entrée into mobile phone hardware offers consumers a combination of gaming-grade control and customizability with unimpeded phone access.
The Razer Junglecat's engineering team shaved every millimeter possible in the controller's design to ensure it molds seamlessly with the sleek profile of the iPhone. The result is an ultra-durable slider that reveals or hides the gamepad as desired. With a full set of gaming functions resident in the Razer Junglecat's AXBY pressure-sensitive buttons, D-pad and bumpers, on screen controls are eliminated, leaving valuable screen real estate free.
Users can leave the Razer Junglecat attached, as all buttons and ports remain available in its pocket-ready compact form. At only 20 mm thin, the controller feels like a standard protective case.
The Razer Junglecat comes with a downloadable iOS app that lets users remap and define all of its button functions, as well as adjust pressure sensitivity according to preference. Up to 20 personalized profiles can be stored on the app, allowing users to select a corresponding profile for their favorite games. Whether it is custom sensitivity for an adrenaline-pumping racing game or an array of programmed keybinds for an intense adventure game, the Razer Junglecat iOS companion app will allow users to tailor their gaming experiences.
As an MFi product, the Razer Junglecat is enabled for the latest features of Apple devices recently announced at WWDC. Game Controller Forwarding, for instance, will allow the Razer Junglecat and iPhone 5/5s to act as a wireless controller for larger-screen Apple products.
The chore of finding games for iOS controllers is made easy with the Razer Junglecat iOS companion app, as well. The software keeps gamers up-to-date on the latest titles optimized for controller play, scouring the entire App Store for titles that are perfect for a player and his or her iOS controller -- whether it is a Razer Junglecat or another brand's iOS compatible controller.
"Game development is cascading into mobile with incredible production values and at a record pace, and the crossover of console gamers playing on their iOS and other mobile devices is growing in stride," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "The opportunity to design a sleek, high-performance gamepad controller for the iPhone was an exciting proposition that we can't wait to share with our community and the world."
Interested persons may find a list of controller-compatible games and learn more about the Razer Junglecat and its iOS companion at http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-controllers/razer-junglecat and http://www.razerzone.com/razer-junglecat-ios-companion-app, respectively.
The Razer Junglecat is the latest console-style controller from Razer and is the Company's first interface for mobile phones. Its other controllers include the Razer Sabertooth and Razer Atrox, as well as the Razer Gamepad Controller for the Razer Edge gaming tablet, the CNET 2013 Consumer Electronics Show "Best of Show," "People's Voice" and "Best Gaming" award winner.
The Razer Junglecat companion app is the latest software in a long line of developments from Razer, building upon its Razer Synapse cloud configurator and following the recent release of Razer Comms VoIP for mobile devices. Razer currently has more than 8 million user accounts registered across its software platform.
Razer Junglecat features:
- iOS7 fully supported gamepad
- Precision D-pad
- Highly sensitive ABXY action buttons and bumpers

It’s important to note that API changes are not the only causes of crashes in the uTest testing, Johnston says. Other factors that contribute to app crashes include memory management, Internet connectivity and code conflicts.
Some retailers in mobile commerce have been preparing extensively for the iOS 7 launch. At web-only apparel retailer JackThreads.com, where 50% of total sales are mobile and the majority of mobile sales come through its iPhone app, technology staff members are confident their iOS app is ready for the change in platforms. They began preparations by attending this year’s Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June, where iOS 7 was unveiled.
“We started testing against early betas of iOS 7 literally during lunch breaks at WWDC to identify any major concerns early on,” says Annie Trombatore, director of product development at JackThreads.com. “Luckily our apps don’t have any of the major structural bugs I’ve seen present in other apps as I started using iOS 7 beta on my personal phone. We’re lucky in that we’ve kept our apps clean and simple, so a lot of the gesture confusion being spoken to doesn’t really apply to us. The very minor, stylistic bugs are something we’ve already been able to remedy ahead of the launch, for the most part. That being said, the new features that iOS 7 brings natively are definitely something we’re super thrilled about. While we’ve ensured that our apps are stable and relatively bug-free prior to the launch, we’re excitedly gearing up to make more drastic changes to the apps to embrace these new standards and cleaner design language.&rdquo
Johnston says uTest has made requests for iOS 7 app testing by existing and new clients its top priority. He declines to reveal the cost of testing.
Apple’s App Store boasts 900,000 apps, the company reports. Apple adds there have been 50 billion app downloads since the App Store opened in 2008.

US private equity firms Blackstone and Centerbridge Partners are to acquire distressed hotel chain Extended Stay Hotels for $3.9bn, alongside US hedge fund Paulson & Co.
The US hotel group emerged from bankruptcy last week as a result of the deal, which sees the three firms acquire 100 per cent of the company.
Extended Stay reportedly filed for Chapter 11 in June last year, with over $7bn as a result of the company’s 2007 leveraged buy-out by the Lightstone Group, and falling occupancy rates as a result of the financial crisis.
A spokesman for the investor consortium said, “We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to invest in Extended Stay, which has maintained market leadership throughout the challenges of the past two years.
“After reducing its debt burden by nearly $5bn, Extended Stay will have the flexibility to improve its customer experience and offerings,” he added.
The reorganisation sees former Global Hyatt Corporation president Doug Geoga become non-executive chairman of Extended Stay’s board of directors.

Popcorn, candy corn, caramel apples, candy with nuts and lollipops — all popular Halloween treats — could mean a trip to see Dr. Doug sooner than expected. This is true for people with braces or clear aligners.
Halloween tends to be a busy time for orthodontists because patients indulge in treats that they should try to avoid, damaging their braces or aligners. That’s why October has been named National Orthodontic Health Month.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends orthodontic patients look for foods that are soft and easy to chew and avoid those that are hard, sticky, chewy or crunchy. Chewing ice is bad, too. It adds that kids (and adults) who indulge in sweets should remember to brush and floss afterward.
New Orleans chef, restaurateur, television personality and author John Besh, and the American Association of Orthodontists have teamed up for National Orthodontic Health Month. Besh has chosen “orthodontic-friendly recipes” — Cauliflower Mac and Cheese, Yogurt Fruit Pops and Drew’s Cake — available during October at mylifemysmile.org.
“Partnering with chef Besh is a wonderful opportunity for us to give patients in treatment some delectable recipes for dishes to help them enjoy the season,” says Robert E. Varner, the association’s president. “Certain foods are tough on braces and other devices used to straighten teeth and align jaws. Chef Besh’s recipes can help patients reach their treatment goal of a healthy and beautiful smile.”

Apple Inc. said Sunday that it now expects lower shipments of its high-end iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max devices than it did previously, as COVID-19 issues hamper production in China.
“We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models,” the company announced in a Sunday evening press release. “However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products.”
acknowledged in its release that COVID-19 issues have “temporarily impacted” production of the devices at the Zhengzhou site that is the “primary” assembly facility for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. That facility is currently seeing “significantly reduced” operating capacity.
“We are working closely with our supplier to return to normal production levels while ensuring the health and safety of every worker,” the company added in the release.
Analysts have been discussing iPhone production disruption at manufacturer Foxconn’s
Zhengzhou facility for the past week amid fallout from COVID-19 restrictions in the city.
“Although Apple earnings were only a week ago, supply shortages at the high end of the market and recent COVID lockdowns in China impacting a Foxconn plant could negatively impact iPhone units in the December quarter,” UBS analyst David Vogt wrote Wednesday, ahead of Apple’s press release. “While we believe iPhone demand tends to not be perishable, a slippage of a couple of million units is possible below our 86 million forecast.”
While Apple was the only Big Tech company to see its shares rally in the wake of its late-October earnings report, shares have struggled more since then. They logged their worst weekly performance since March 2020 last week.

Call the cops! Riot police are caught on CCTV looting phones and gadgets from an electrical shop after being sent to tackle unrest in Mexico city
- Officers were at the Plaze Meave shopping centre, Mexico City, Mexico
- The riot squad had been called after a gang of thieves targeted stores there
- But more than a dozen officers ended up helping themselves to products
This is the shocking moment riot police were caught on camera stealing from a mobile phone shop in Mexico.
More than a dozen officers helped themselves to smartphones and other electronic gadgets from the store.
It happened at a property in the Plaze Meave shopping centre during a disturbance in the Mexican capital of Mexico City.

More officers are then seen helping themselves to the better products.
An investigation has been launched into the thefts after the police officers were caught on the store's CCTV system.
Footage shows the officers grabbing mobile phones and other goods from display cases and store cupboards before stashing them inside their uniforms.

But their fellow colleagues quickly followed suit and in no time at all it developed into a free for all as terrified shop staff hid behind their counter.
The internal affairs department of Mexico City's public security service has launched an investigation into the incident.
General director Agustin Gonzalez said: 'This investigation is trying to identify all of the officers guilty of wrongdoing, as well as their senior officers who should have avoided the situation.'

For the tens of millions of Americans with arthritis, the pain, stiffness and other symptoms from the chronic disease can be stubborn.
There are various treatments for alleviating the symptoms of arthritis, but no cure. Options can include steroid injections into affected joints and even joint replacement surgery for some with advanced osteoarthritis, where cartilage in the hips, knees or other joints has worn away. For those with another common form of arthritis, the autoimmune disorder rheumatoid arthritis, antirheumatic drugs may also be used to slow the progression of the disease that also causes severe joint pain.
But for many, conventional therapies aren’t enough to relieve the discomfort. So in addition to alternative treatments like acupuncture, some people with arthritis turn to cannabidiol, or CBD, an active ingredient derived from the cannabis plant. This is the same plant from which THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that produces a high, is extracted.
The chemical compound CBD is frequently taken orally in oil, gel tablet or even gummy form, and it can also be applied topically in lotions and creams. Although CBD can contain up to 0.3% THC, it’s not been found to be habit-forming or able to give a person the same high. (By comparison, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, average THC levels in marijuana have risen in recent decades and are around 10%.)
Does CBD Work?
In short, that depends on whom you ask.
At the moment, experts say there’s a lack of high-quality, controlled human studies to determine whether CBD can effectively relieve arthritis pain and inflammation. There’s no shortage of anecdotal reports that CBD helps at least decrease discomfort. Similarly, there are plenty of reports that CBD proved to be a dud for others.
“We only have mostly animal studies — especially with pain — and the enthusiasm for CBD has obviously gotten ahead of the actual hardcore scientific data. So we’re in this little bit of a gray twilight zone,” explains Dr. Peter Grinspoon, a primary care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, a board member for Doctors for Cannabis Regulation. The group is pushing for legalization with fairly strict regulation of cannabis.
Legal restrictions have greatly limited researchers’ access to cannabis — including medical marijuana and CBD. And that impedes research on the possible usefulness of cannabis to treat chronic conditions like arthritis.
Grinspoon says some of his patients have had success with using CBD to treat arthritis pain. Others have seen no results and thought it was a waste of money. “So I’ve had mixed results,” he says. But he and some other experts who recommend CBD to patients say mixed results are better than no success at all, especially when many people with arthritis are desperate to find any relief and are looking for alternative low-risk options.
Similarly, Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple, medical director of the Integrative Medicine Program at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Illinois, has found some of her patients seemed to benefit from taking CBD, while others didn’t. For the most part, patients who reported positive results noted that “it takes the edge off” or that they felt more relaxed — like, for example, that their muscles felt relaxed and they didn’t have as much pain, Temple notes.
“If they’re bone-on-bone with their arthritis or their RA (rheumatoid arthritis) pain is flaring up like crazy, I don’t find that CBD hemp oil is good enough,” she says. “But it can be tried, and it can take the edge off — maybe.” Experts reiterate that until there are randomized, controlled trials testing CBD against a placebo and against other treatments for arthritis, its effectiveness is simply not clear.
“There are many, many anecdotal reports of fantastic responses to these drugs,” says Dr. James Pauly, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy. But right now, Pauly — who says he’s not against patients trying CBD for pain — and other experts stress there just isn’t sufficient data to support the unbridled hype and marketing around CBD.
Is It Safe?
Nevertheless, even with a paucity of data available, some clinicians recommend trying CBD for arthritis pain. A primary reason some doctors still recommend it is because it’s generally considered safe.
Last year, the Food and Drug Administration approved the drug Epidiolex — CBD that’s taken orally — for treatment of certain rare, serious forms of epilepsy. This is the first drug “compromised of an active ingredient derived from marijuana” that’s been approved by the FDA, the agency pointed out in a press release. Safety studies done in the run up to approval provide some insights on the risks associated with CBD, which experts say tend to be modest.
The most common side effects that occurred with Epidiolex were sleepiness and sedation, decreased appetite, diarrhea, rash, insomnia and poor quality sleep, according to the FDA.
“As is true for all drugs that treat epilepsy, the most serious risks include thoughts about suicide, attempts to commit suicide, feelings of agitation, new or worsening depression, aggression and panic attacks,” the agency notes. “Epidiolex also caused liver injury, generally mild, but raising the possibility of rare, but more severe injury. More severe liver injury can cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, anorexia, jaundice and/or dark urine.”
But experts say generally the most notable effect some experience from taking CBD tends to be drowsiness. In fact, some people take CBD before bed for that reason. However, that needs to be considered if one is planning to take CBD and drive, especially as it can contain up to 0.3% THC, doctors caution.
With any drug or supplement it’s important to let your doctor what you’re taking to make sure they don’t interact poorly with other medications
Is It Legal?
The evolving way in which CBD is being regulated complicates the legal picture.
The 2018 Farm Bill supported legalizing the growing of hemp, the low-THC variety of the cannabis plant from which most CBD is derived. But, just as with marijuana, the Drug Enforcement Agency still categorizes cannabis-derived CBD as a Schedule 1 substance: drugs that are considered to have no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse and for which access is highly restricted.
Yet experts point out CBD doesn’t have a potential for abuse, and the FDA’s own recent approval of Epidiolex indicates it has a medical use as well. The complicated and contradictory legal tangle is further demonstrated by the fact that the DEA lists Epidiolex as a Schedule V substance, the least restrictive category under the Controlled Substances Act — even though it’s CBD.
On a state level, laws vary on using marijuana for medical or recreational purposes — and state laws allowing marijuana use clash with federal statutes forbidding it. While the sale and purchase of CBD isn’t tightly regulated, experts say it’s important to check on any possible restrictions where you live.
You could also possibly fail a drug test if you’re taking CBD with THC in it. Experts say while it’s definitely no certainty you will fail a drug test if you’re taking CBD, that scenario has landed some employees who work for companies with strict drug policies in hot water. “So if you’re drug-tested and they care about marijuana — a lot of places don’t, but if they do care about marijuana — you have to be very careful about using CBD,” Grinspoon says. “You might want to talk about it with your boss.”
How Should I Buy CBD?
Despite the legal fuzziness surrounding CBD, sales are booming, and you can buy it just about anywhere these days. All the more reason to be smart about where and how to buy CBD.
“It’s not regulated,” Grinspoon says. “So you need to make sure you get it from a reputable source.”
Past research has found that CBD labels frequently misrepresent what’s in their products. “When the government did some random testing, some had no CBD, some had wildly different levels of CBD than they advertised, and some had much more THC than it was supposed to have,” he points out. So make sure to confirm any CBD product you’re considering buying has been independently tested to ensure it’s safety and that ingredients and dosing (like milligrams of CBD, and THC content) match what’s on the label. ConsumerLabs.com, which requires a subscription, independently tests and reviews supplements, including CBD products, and verifies what’s in the products. It’s key to have that kind of independent confirmation, Temple says.
If you’re considering purchasing CBD from a brick-and-mortar location, Temple recommends going somewhere you might buy other health products or supplements — like a pharmacy. There, of course, you can also ask a pharmacist questions about any over-the-counter medication or supplement. On the contrary, Temple says she worries especially about CBD being sold so casually at places like gas stations — where of course a person has no recourse if they’re looking for that kind of expert opinion. “Are you going to complain to the gas station clerk if you have a side effect?”

Tax increases the Government may be devising in order to recover expenditure from dealing with the pandemic need to be cautiously measured. This would aid in preventing additional problems for the transport and logistics industry as they continue to fight with a tough market environment.
Reports circulating have proposed that Chancellor Rishi Sunak may be preparing to increase the rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT), to potentially as high as 45%. Transport and logistics experts at Menzies LLP are suggesting that this could reduce entrepreneurial business strategies and make it tougher for businesses in the sector to invest in job creation and productivity developments.
Andrew Galliers, audit director, stated that:
“While some tax increases are expected, any decision to increase CGT above 38%, the current rate of tax that applies to share dividends, could have a devastating effect on transport and logistics businesses. Entrepreneurs would no longer have any tax incentive to invest in building up the value of a business in order to realise gains at the point of sale. The flow of investment into entrepreneurial businesses could start to dry up as a result, undermining the sector’s fragile economic recovery.”
To circumvent additional business problems, Galliers endorses a measured approach. He said:
“Transport operators are currently facing some major challenges due to soaring ocean freight rates and ongoing HGV driver shortages, and the pandemic is continuing to cause disruption across the world too. Further shocks for businesses must be avoided and any tax increases should be phased to minimise any collateral damage for the economy.”
In April 2023, the corporation tax rate is due to increase from 19% to a rate of 25% and prior to this in April 2022 a rise in the employer NICs by 1.25% is planned. Evidently, the tax environment for businesses in this sector is becoming more demanding.
Andrew Galliers adds: “For SMEs in particular, as headline rates of Corporation Tax and Employer NICs start to increase, it becomes even more important to manage inflationary pressures on the cost base carefully, to remain viable.”
“While plans to create eight new freeports, including tax breaks for employers, were announced to a fanfare in the March 2021 Budget, the sector is still in the dark about the finer details. More information on key factors, such as the location of tax and custom sites, is urgently required to enable local businesses to put plans in place and make the most of the developments.”

Spanish chain Barcelo Hotels has terminated the lease on its portfolio of British properties, which have been relaunched under the Puma Hotels Collection portfolio.
The group has 21 four-star properties in England, Scotland and Wales, including Billesley Manor in Stratford-Upon-Avon (pictured below).
“In such an exciting year for British tourism, we are delighted to have successfully launched Puma Hotels Collection,” said the group’s head of marketing and e-commerce, Jane Rawlinson.
Barcelo took on the lease for the portfolio in September 2007, before which they were owned by Puma Hotels and operated under Puma’s Paramount Hotels brand. Control of the hotels has now been transferred back to Puma following an agreement that was reached earlier this month.
Puma had originally intended to revive the Paramount brand, but the properties will now operate under the Puma Hotels Collection.
Across its portfolio, Puma Hotels Collection has around 20,000 square metres of conference and meeting space, and from May 1 will offer guests free wifi throughout the hotel.
“The new brand will focus on the unique characteristics and location of each hotel, whether through the local cuisine, the grounds, or nearby facilities and attractions,” Rawlinson added.
Barcelo still operates more than 142 hotels across 16 countries around the world.

Carmakers put on the pressure for bailout as thousands of jobs hang in the balance
Pressure is mounting on business secretary Lord Mandelson to step in with rescue funding for the stalling British car industry as Aston Martin axed 600 jobs.
Another 18,000 UK motor industry jobs hang in the balance this week as the bosses of Detroit's 'big three' - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler - again attempt to convince the US Congress to save their companies.
GM, which employs around 5,000 at Vauxhall in the UK, is said to be keeping open the option of filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection if lawmakers refuse funding.
Engine trouble: Ford, who has a plant in South Wales, wants government help
GM made a £2.7billion loss in the third quarter and has burnt through £4.4billion in cash.
Aston Martin, whose new £160,000 DBS model features in the latest 007 movie, Quantum Of Solace, said it was consulting with the unions on 'a range of cutbacks to reflect the current downturn in the world economy and the corresponding fall in car sales'.
A spokesman for Aston said: 'It is hoped to do this by minimising the impact on employees as far as possible, but the possibility of up to 300 permanent and a similar number of temporary job losses cannot be ruled out.'
The luxury carmaker employs 1,850 people, most (1,700) at its Gaydon headquarters in Warwickshire and 150 at its workshops in Newport Pagnell. And in a further sign of desperation, Ford hoisted a 'for sale' sign over Volvo.
The 'blue oval' motor giant employs 13,000 in the UK. It is thought Ford spoke about the sale of Volvo last year with BMW, Volkswagen, and Seat.
A banker with knowledge of the industry said: 'I just don't know who would be interested (in Volvo), unless one of the Chinese producers comes forward.'
He believes Volvo, which had a turnover of £12billion last year, is too big a risk for most potential buyers at the moment.
British car chiefs last week pleaded with Mandelson to help the industry by allowing them access to emergency funding from the Bank of England.
It is thought they are asking for £4bn to help them through the current economic crisis.
Ford and GM are also in talks with the Swedish authorities about providing financial aid to Volvo and Saab, their respective Sweden-based subsidiaries.

The Nike-RTFKT NFT collaboration brought a new dimension to NFT trading, generating a remarkable $1.4 billion in volume and $170 million in earnings.
This partnership underscores the growing intersection between digital assets and physical merchandise, driven by a recent forging event that led to a 600% surge in trading.
NFTs Grant Access to Exclusive Physical Sneakers
The Nike-RTFKT collaboration has captivated consumers by offering exclusive access to tangible products through special events for NFT holders. In addition, this strategy not only boosts consumer engagement but also strengthens the authentication process.
Renowned figures like LeBron James have embraced this innovative approach, blurring the line between physical collectibles and their digital counterparts. Furthermore, these initiatives ensure the legitimacy of coveted sneakers through digital authentication.
Marketplace Resonance and Forging Success
A recent forging event for Dunk Genesis Cryptokicks resulted in a notable uptick in trading activity, with trades for the required NFTs exceeding half a million dollars in October. The trades for the necessary NFTs soared, reaching a total of over $500,000.
Additionally, the market response to physical sneakers has been robust, with aftermarket sales on platforms like eBay fetching prices up to four times their initial cost. Further, this strong market resonance highlights the appeal of integrating NFTs with exclusive physical goods, a trend increasingly gaining traction in the sneaker industry.
A Testimony to the Fusion of NFT Technology and Consumer Goods
In addition, the digital venture between Nike and RTFKT exemplifies the successful merger of NFT technology with traditional consumer goods.
Lastly, this collaboration not only enhances the value but also the authenticity of sneakers for collectors worldwide, as the convergence of the physical and digital realms continues to evolve. This interplay underscores the growing influence and potential of the metaverse in transforming traditional markets and consumer behavior.

The much rumored Big Screen iPhone 6 could be a real thing much earlier than we had expected. Recent reports about Apple’s CEO Tim Cook’s letter to the employee suggest that the company is preparing for an early launch of new iPhones. It is rumored that Apple is working on 2 big screen iPhones; one with 4.7 inch display and another model with whopping 6 inch display screen.
And now a Chinese portal Digitimes has leaked that Apple is planning to launch its new iPhone in May next year. The same website had leaked the pictures of iPhone 5s before its launch which turned out correct.
Earlier this year Tim Cook had indicated in an interview that Apple will be exploring a new frontier with things the company has never done before. This could be a hint that the company is to enter the large screen gadget market where Samsung dominate the game currently.
The leaks also reveal that the upcoming iPhone will have a 20 nm chipset which is made in Taiwan by TSMC. The big screen frenzy is not just going to be restricted to the smartphones as reports suggest that we may see iPads with close to 13 inch display in the year 2014.
Apart from big screen smartphone and tablets Apple is also supposedly working on a smartphone with wrap around display. Some sources join both links and say that like this year apple may come with two iPhones and one of than could be a wrap around model.
Apple has long followed the philosophy of Steve Jobs which talk about compatible gadgets that could be handled with one hand. But that might be changing now as Apple needs to step up its game to compete with Samsung that has created a huge market for big screen gadgets.
The company has been known for keeping its ideology simple and effective for so long and now after ‘big’ changes ahead we may see a different Apple.

The US Open and its players have been influencing America’s opinions for years. Think about it…
Who else could popularize jean shorts other than Andre Agassi? Roger Federer’s brand is so powerful that Nike simply includes an RF on their clothes and the sales jump. And John McEnroe’s famous temper tantrums continue to star in commercials 20 years after he retired from the game
And the USTA is capitalizing on this iconic status…in a good way.
Their goal: Make green trendy.
How It Started
Three years ago, the USTA decided it was imperative to green the US Open. With 750,000 fanatics charging through the gates to the US Open in just two weeks, even small changes to the event’s sustainability could yield a significant impact.
Rita Garza, Senior Director of USTA Corporate Communications teamed up with Joe Crowley with the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Facility Operations, Bina Indelicato of Eco Evolutions and Dr. Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the National Resource Defense Council, to determine where the USTA could make the greatest strides towards sustainability.
Working with a 10-year-old venue which isn’t equipped with many of the recent designs and advances in sustainable building, the team found that they needed a multi-faceted approach.
Retro-fitting the current venue with sustainable offerings and training the 7,000+ staff on greener practices was essential, but the team also realized they had as much power, if not more, through the social influence of their iconic players and sponsors.
The USTA is in a unique position to introduce new products to a captive, mainstream audience. They are making the most of this opportunity from a sustainability and sponsor perspective.
By greening the US Open tournament grounds and educating their fans on the value of living green, they not only had a captive audience, but an informed consumer who better understands the value of product sustainability. This is an incredibly attractive audience to high-end sponsors, such as Mercedes, who are introducing new green products.
A good example is Stoneyfield Farm, who was the first organic food vendor at the US Open. Gary Hirshberg, Stoneyfield’s CEO, claims that their market share tripled in NYC after the first year they were a sponsor. With Stonyfield consumers purchasing two-to-three times the yogurt of a typical consumer, every new convert becomes incredibly valuable. This is what the US Open offers sponsors: informed, power-users.
A few other sponsors who have been able to help in the reduction of the US Open’s footprint, while touting their new green products, include:
- Mercedes: Their new B-Class F-CELL, an electric car with a 250 mile range, ushers players around, reducing the event’s footprint.
- IBM: Reduced energy consumption by 40% to power the usopen.org
- ESurance: Distributing 125 MetroCards to fans to encourage mass transit to and from the tennis center
Looking at the bigger green picture, Dr. Hershkowitz believes there are cultural barriers to sustainability. In order to truly capture people’s attention, green has to be cool. And the US Open is doing its part by capturing the cache of tennis. ”People won’t buy sustainable products for green-sake…it must be personal.”
As a fashionable and iconic event, when the US Open goes green, it’s a giant step towards green being cool. And if the USTA can make money in the process, then bravo.

In an update from its Seattle headquarters on Tuesday, Holland America Line’s President Orlando Ashford made a set of announcements that will continue to shape the brand.
“We have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to reenergize the brand and our entire fleet,” Ashford said, mentioning the line’s partnerships with Oprah and BBC Earth, the launch of its Culinary Council, and the debut of new ships over the last three years. “We absolutely feel great about what we’ve done.”
Part of the new round of upgrades includes an enhancement to its youth program.
“We know that Holland America Line is the top premium cruise line choice for families and multigenerational family groups,” Ashford said, remarking that Holland America is placing some “really cool ways to reinvigorate the activities for guests under 18.”
That includes the addition of High Score, an interactive game room filled with arcade and table games from pinball to ski ball, air hockey, and more. According to Ashford, the room will be open for the entire family. It is scheduled to debut on Oosterdam and will then be added to Nieuw Amsterdam in February 2020. The rest of the Holland America fleet will get the game room sometime in 2021.
Kristen Kish, author, and winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef” (season 10) is joining Holland America's Culinary Council.
Ashford also announced a new member of the line’s Culinary Council: Kristen Kish, author, and winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef” (season 10). The council already includes culinary celebrities like chefs Jonnie Boer, David Burke, Andy Matsuda, Ethan Stowell, Jacques Torres, and Master Chef Rudi Sodamin.
“Kristin is the perfect complement to our Culinary Council, and we’re so excited she’s joining us,” Ashford said.
All members of Holland America’s Culinary Council contribute to the guests onboard culinary experience. The council’s cuisine is featured on the cruise line’s menus across its fleet, “every menu in every venue,” Ashford said.
“There is no other cruise line in the world where every day, whether in Canaletto, the main dining room, a specialty restaurant, or even room service, you can dine all week on dishes” from these chefs, Ashford said.

that of Adele 30 is the first album released in over a year to sell a million copies in the United States
30 has sold just over a million traditional album sales in the United States, in all of its formats (CD, vinyl LP, cassette tape and digital album download), through December 6, according to initial reports from MRC Data. The album was released on November 19.
30 sold 692,000 copies in its first week in the US (week ending November 25), then sold 225,000 copies in its second week (ending December 2).
The last new album released to have sold a million copies in the United States (i.e. out of catalog [older] albums that may have reached the threshold) was Taylor Swift’s Folklore, which was released on July 24, 2020. It topped one million sales in the week ending October 22, 2020. Its total sales stand at 1.55 million through December 2. Folklore was the only album released in 2020 to sell a million copies in the United States
In recent years, it has been rare for an album to sell a million copies in the United States. The frequency of millions of albums sold declined as fans began to consume music through streaming services.
Only three albums released in 2019 have sold a million copies to date (Billie Eilish’s When we all fall asleep, where do we go?, Swift Lover and Harry Styles’ Fine line) and in 2018 only one album released sold for a million (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s soundtrack to A star is born).
Keep in mind that traditional album sales are different from equivalent album units. The latter is the metric used to rank the week’s most popular albums on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2021, through December 2, there are 19 albums that have earned over one million album units. equivalents in the United States, and nine of them were released in 2021. (Equivalent album units include album sales, track equivalent albums [TEA] and streaming of equivalent albums [SEA]. Each unit equals one traditional album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported official audio and video streams or 1,250 paid / subscription-on-demand generated songs from an album.)

India is a cricket crazy nation, and, everyone’s going to witness that craze starting today for 51 days. Well that’s because IPL (Indian Premier League) kicks-off from today, and, like cricket fans, the telecom operators have also geared up for this year’s IPL season by announcing different offers and packs. Reliance Jio already announced its Jio Cricket Festival, and, Airtel has also announced that its users will be able to watch live IPL matches for free on its Airtel TV app via Hotstar. Now, state-run BSNL has too joined the group by announcing a new data pack called BSNL IPL Pack.
BSNL IPL Pack Details
The new BSNL IPL Pack is available for prepaid users and is priced at ₹248. For ₹248, BSNL prepaid customers are offered 153 GB of 3G data for a period of 51 days, which is the number of days IPL matches will be played starting today.
However, BSNL prepaid users cannot consume the entire 153 GB of data in a day, as this pack comes with an FUP limit of 3 GB data per day. By recharging for this data pack, BSNL prepaid users should be able to watch live IPL matches on their smartphones anywhere.
That said, it’s worth noting that BSNL’s network is still 3G, with 4G only available in select locations, hence, you won’t be getting 4G speeds for streaming. With that being said, this BSNL IPL Pack is an open market offer and is available for all BSNL prepaid customers.
If you are a BSNL prepaid customer, you can do a recharge of this pack between April 7 and April 30, because this a limited time offer and won’t be available later on.
BSNL IPL Pack vs. Jio Cricket Season Pack
We mentioned Reliance Jio Cricket Festival at the beginning of this article. Well, as a part of the Jio Cricket Festival, Reliance Jio has announced its Jio Cricket Season Pack. It is priced at ₹251 and offers 102 GB of data for 51 days. But, unlike BSNL’s IPL Pack which offers 3G data, Jio offers 4G data.
Besides, it’s also worth noting that while BSNL IPL Pack comes with FUP of 3 GB data per day, Jio Cricket Season Pack comes with FUP of 2 GB 4G data per day, but, after exhaustion of that 2 GB of 4G data, Jio users can continue using unlimited Internet, but at a reduced speed of 64 Kbps.
So, which one of the two data packs would you prefer? BSNL IPL Pack or Jio Cricket Season Pack? Let us know in the comments down below.

Apollo P2500U Ink
We delete comments that violate our policywhich we encourage you to read. But some industry observers question whether these products will compete effectively against established low-end players like LexMark and Canon.
The Apolloi is identical to theaccording to the company, but comes with an expanded software bundle and will likely be sold primarily through retail bundles. But not only do the Apollo printers not currently offer iMac compatibility, rival Epson is expected to release a printer designed specifically for use with the iMac later this year, the Appllo Color i.
The choice demonstrates the company’s strategy of turning the printer into a consumer electronics item like a telephone or toaster. The printers will be available as stand-alone items, but Garde said the company is aggressively pursuing a strategy of bundling them with PCs.

Also today, Apollo announced its retail partners, which include some names not generally associated with high-tech purchases, such as WalMart. The printers, which will be available in blue and white, as well as gray, seem to emulate the iMac design, with rounded edges and colorful hardware.
Apollo printers will also be available at BestBuyOfficeDepot. But the printers introduced today are not the lowest-priced on the market, and are currently not apolpo with Apple’s iMac, the egg-shaped computer which has sparked the technology industry’s renewed interest in industrial design. The Apollo line ostensibly exploits two industry trends:

Talks aimed at setting up a U.S.-European free trade zone have run aground because of intransigence on Washington's part, a top German politician said Sunday. The Obama administration and the 28-member European Union have been in talks to set up the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, which would be the world's largest free trade zone.
A week of trade talks in Brussels have taken the European Union and the United States a little closer to a deal to liberalize bilateral trade. EU officials say the trade relationship with the US is already the biggest in the world, worth more than 2bn Euros a day, but barriers remain, and removing them could make it even bigger. If it happens, the agreement would be huge, capable of changing the shape of global trade.
