Plastic packaging manufacturer Pact Group has announced a strategic review to determine what operations and activities are "core" to its business, a move which could trigger asset sales.
Pact, which makes plastic containers such as milk bottles and ice-cream containers, flagged the review on Wednesday after scrapping its final dividend to shareholders. The company swung to a full-year net loss of $290 million following hefty asset writedowns.
Investors sent its stock down 16.9 per cent to $2.31, making it the day's biggest loser on the ASX 200 and wiping about $162 million off the company's market value.
Chief executive Sanjay Dayal said Pact was not approaching the strategic review with any pre-conceived notions, insisting that Pact's businesses were good ones.
"But some may have a better natural owner than us," he said.
"If you look at the history of Pact it's a company which is built on acquisitions. I think the company has done maybe 50 acquisitions over the last decade or so.
"We just need to look at it and understand what have we really got, is there something special about us which is going to give us a competitive advantage, is there something special which the customers believe that Pact can give them that nobody else can," he said.
'Transporting a lot of air'
Mr Dayal, who took the helm in April, said the review was not a signal that Pact planned to move manufacturing offshore.
Pact already manufactured in Asia and needed to keep making goods in Australia to be close to customers, he said. "In the packaging field, quite a bit of the manufacturing has to be local, because if you move products from let's say overseas, or from another part of the country, you're actually transporting a lot of air."
Pact's 2019 result was wiped out by $369 million in impairments of fixed assets in its Australian packaging business, along with goodwill and inventory writedowns. Excluding those charges the company recorded a $77 million net profit, down 18 per cent on fiscal 2018 as its manufacturing costs increased.
They've just stretched the balance sheet too far. And that's come at a period where earnings in the core business have been soft.Morningstar analyst Grant Slade
Pact's underlying profit and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $231.6 million were in line with analyst expectations.
"Fiscal 2019 was a very challenging year, with earnings impacted by higher raw material and energy costs and weaker demand conditions," Mr Dayal said.
Pact is one of many manufacturers to single out high energy costs as a key challenge. Its energy costs have climbed about 40 per cent in the last couple of years, to about 20 million, but the company has only been able to pass on about $5 million of that to customers.
Pact predicted operating earnings before significant items would "modestly improve" in the current financial year.
Simon Conn, portfolio manager with Investors Mutual which holds about 10.5 per cent of Pact's shares, said Pact had met its guidance for EBITDA and generated good cash flow.
He said he was "a bit perplexed" about why Pact shares fell as much as they did in the wake of the results.
"The business is an industry leader in plastic packaging. So it's a clear leader and they've got the scale in the market. They've got a series of plants, they've probably got too many, and what they've been going through is a process for consolidating sites," Mr Conn said.
Morningstar equity analyst Grant Slade said the market appeared to be responding to the company's "soft guidance" for 2020 and to Pact's debt situation, with some investors thinking Pact might be forced to undertake an equity raising, diluting returns for existing shareholders.
At the end of June Pact had $684 million of debt, up from $599 million 12 months earlier.
Mr Slade said Pact had "tried to do too much at once. They've grown by serial acquisition, so they've just stretched the balance sheet too far. And that's come at a period where earnings in the core business have been soft."

SP, BSP alliance changes hues of campaign material
LUCKNOW : As Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati formally announced the electoral alliance on Saturday, the colour of politics also changed outside the headquarters of both the parties in Lucknow.
Hoardings and campaign material featuring both the leaders with a slogan attacking the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are now available at shops outside party offices here.
Workers of both the parties are placing orders for stickers and flags announcing the alliance.
Sanjay Srivastava, a shopkeeper who has been selling campaign material in front of SP headquarters on Vikramaditya Marg for the last six years, said: “Now, I have come to believe in the saying that everything is possible in politics. See, I am selling campaign material of BSP in front of SP office.”
Nearly a dozen shops which had been selling campaign material like photographs, flags, stickers and caps of Samajwadi Party till now have also ordered BSP’s campaign material.
Another trader Ashish Gupta said: “We have ordered campaign material featuring Akhilesh and Mayawati. Earlier, workers of both the parties were not sure about the alliance. We are now flooded with orders for SP-BSP vehicle stickers, flags and posters.” “The campaign has almost begun. We were waiting for a final word on alliance. Now, my vehicle will have blue colour besides red,” an SP worker from Barabanki Animesh Yadav said.
Hoardings on the roads outside the headquarters of both the parties have come up wishing people on Makar Sakranti, Lohri and New Year. Quite a few were quick to put up hoardings featuring both the leaders with the slogan: ‘Hamara kaam bolta hai, BJP ka jhooth bolta hai’.
Some vehicles with stickers featuring both the leaders with the slogan ‘SP-BSP aayi hai, nayi kranti laayi hai’ are also attracting workers.

Instagram For Android Hits 5 Million Downloads Mark [Tops]
A Day before Facebook has acquired Instagram photo sharing service in a deal which was worth $1 billion, Instagram has over 30 million users on Apple’s iOS platform and the company also launched a free social app for Google Android platform last week.
When the Instagram app finally landed and made available for Android, it was understandably popular with 1 million downloads in its first day and today Instagram has hit another milestone as the Android app has now tops 5 million downloads in six days.
Means the app’s popularity has yet to wane. The 5 million downloads in six days makes Instagram one of the most popular Android app launches of all time. For comparison, it took the iOS Instagram app about six months to reach the 5 million download mark.
It’s no surprise that the Android version of the application was so popular, when Instagram started pre-registration for the application on March 24, it landed 430,000 pre-registrations before the launch. Instagram reportedly saw as many as 2000 sign-ups per minute. The apps page on Google Play shows that the app has been downloaded between five and 10 million times.
Are you happy with your Android version Instagram app? If any questions are there to ask, please make a comment or share them on Facebook and Google+ to grab more information.

New Laws Open The Market for Homemade Foods
Since the homemade food renaissance has taken root, there's been no shortage of home picklers, jammers, and bakers. But in some states, it's a misdemeanor for those home artisans to sell their goodies in the open marketplace. Case in point: Last June, Department of Public Health officials in California shut down ForageSF's popular Underground Market, which featured mostly home producers, because its sellers were not compliant with local and state regulations.
But due to a campaign launched by the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC), the laws might change this year. The Oakland-based SELC recently teamed up with Los Angeles Assemblymember Mike Gatto to introduce the California Homemade Food Act (AB 1616), a "cottage food" bill that would legalize the sale of certain foods produced in home kitchens.
"There are a lot of hoops to get a food business started. That's what prompted the cottage food law campaign," says SELC research associate and campaign coordinator Christina Oatfield. Founded in 2010 by attorneys Janelle Orsi and Jenny Kassan, the SELC provides legal research and assistance to foster local and sustainable economies and business ventures.
Currently, California state law requires that any foods produced for sale be prepared in a certified kitchen or food facility using commercial-grade equipment that is inspected by the health department. For many startups, this means renting a commercial kitchen space, which costs upwards of $25 per hour or $1,500 per month—a large expenditure, particularly for hobby food producers who just want to make a bit of supplemental income. Additionally, shared kitchens are often not a practical option for producers who make specialty items such as gluten-free baked goods.
For entrepreneurs who want to open their own kitchen, the investment and risks are greater. In addition to the costs of buying or renting a brick-and-mortar space and furnishing it with commercial-grade equipment (often several times the cost of home kitchen appliances), there are other fixed expenditures, such as insurance and health department inspections. "It can easily exceed $100,000 with equipment and infrastructure work," says Oatfield. "That's a huge barrier to a startup entrepreneur, especially in these tough economic times."
A Growing Movement
To date, more than 30 states have cottage food laws on the books, many of which have been passed in the last couple of years. Oatfield sees this trend as a response to both the economic downturn of 2008 and the surge of interest in local food over the last few years. "There's a growing awareness among consumers about food systems issues and enthusiasm for buying local and knowing the person who made your food," she says.
Cottage food law advocates argue that loosening the regulations for small, home-based businesses fosters growth in the local economy, while giving startups the opportunity to test their products, establish a customer base, and incubate their business before investing in commercial kitchen space. "Very often laws and regulations are written to keep large corporations in check, and they're not scale-appropriate for small, community-based businesses or other informal activities," says Oatfield.
For consumers and public health officials, the safety of foods produced in home kitchens has been the greatest concern, so many cottage food laws limit the products that can be sold. Under the California Homemade Food Act, cottage food operations would be allowed to prepare and sell "nonpotentially hazardous" items such as dry-storage baked goods, jams, preserves, nut mixes, dried fruit, roasted coffees, honey, pickles with a pH level of 4.6 or below, and other items with low risk for supporting toxic microorganisms.
The proposed bill also states that home producers must register their business and follow the same sanitation, packaging, and labeling procedures that are expected of commercial kitchens, though it does not require inspections unless complaints are made. While such details may be revised in the legislative process, the SELC is working closely with the state public health department to ensure that health measures are followed while keeping the entrepreneur's costs as low as possible.

Facebook VP, marketing services at Facebook Carolyn Everson urges retailers to act as people, calling retail the most social vertical category.
Facebook VP, marketing services, Carolyn Everson (pictured), addressed retailers at Facebook’s first UK event dedicated to the retail vertical today, urging brands to think as people because retail is the most social vertical category.
Speaking at the event she said, “Shopping is the most inherently social category; retail and shopping and how people think about that category has been the most social since it started so it’s an exciting opportunity.”
Everson used retail site Fab.com as an example of a retailer that has reorganised the design of its site to replicate a shopping experience, saying it is, “done through the eyes as if you are in a mall or shopping environment and you have your friends with you”.
Everson also defended Facebook’s mobile proposition, which has recently come under scrutiny from the wider industry.
She said Facebook has further plans to develop it. “Arguably it is the most valuable real estate that exists anywhere. In the US in 2011 50% of all content was discovered via peoples news feed. The mobile environment is the most social, it’s with us 24/7. So Facebook is the most social platform on most social devices, the opportunity here is extraordinary for your category [retail],” she said.

NEW YORK—Everyone involved in this industry knows that it’s changed. Today’s guests want local, authentic, personalized service and design, and they want it in a tech-enabled way. The industry has risen to the occasion, creating spaces and brands that meet the needs of travelers—but there’s another shift that the industry has been adapting to as well: a culture shift behind the scenes.
Last week, Hotel Business held an executive roundtable, “Culture Shift: Working in 2018 and Beyond,” hosted and sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, which explored the ways in which the hospitality workforce—and its leadership—is changing. Topics explored included the evolving demographics of the industry, including racial and ethnic diversity, elevating women and the newer generations entering or molding the workplace: Gen Y and Gen Z. Panelists discussed not only the macro trends around these changes, but action-oriented steps their organizations are taking to meet the needs of today’s workforce.
Andy Ingraham, president/CEO, National Association of Black Hotel Owners Operators & Developers (NABHOOD), noted that his organization is focused on cultivating that second generation of African-American leaders. “In 2001, there was one African-American-owned branded hotel in the United States. Today, we’re just short of 825 hotels,” he said, adding that one of the challenges the industry faces is that, for many years, many African-Americans haven’t wanted to go into the hospitality industry because they didn’t see a career path forward.
The key, he said, is access to opportunity. “It’s having the leadership of traditional organizations say we want to give you access, opportunity and want to be part of the change. That’s our continuous model to look for those forward-thinking executives,” Ingraham said, noting that every year, NABHOOD brings in about 50 students from around the country for its owners to mentor.
Access, of course, is important for women as well. Fran Kiradjian, founder/CEO, Boutique & Lifestyle Leaders Association (BLLA), noted that at her organization’s conferences—it held its latest, the Boutique Hotel Investment Conference, last week—at least 50% of the speakers have to be women. “We’re walking the talk at our conferences… that’s a culture shift through the hospitality industry.”
Ariela Kiradjian, COO, BLLA & co-founder, Stay Boutique, added, “It can’t just be a female-empowerment conference.” While those are great, she said, women’s voices must also be in the mix discussing diverse topics.
And, of course, the panelists dove into younger workers in the industry and how their companies are appealing to them. Dianna Vaughan, global head and SVP, All Suites brands by Hilton, pointed to the brand company’s Travel With Purpose platform. “It really connects with millennials… We have one week a year where we volunteer in our local communities, and every hotel or corporate office can do some sort of activity,” she said. “Just this year, we had over 4,000 projects, so that’s a really good way to enforce the culture.”
But, she added, it’s had additional benefits for the company’s employees. “What we found out is everyone wants to give back. It’s not just the millennials interested in giving back to the community,” Vaughan said.
Other panelists included Jagruti Panwala, AAHOA vice chairwoman & president/CEO Wealth Protection Strategies; Ann Fastiggi, managing director, head of hospitality leisure practice, RSR Partners; Ken Barrett, CEO/management division, White Lodging; Sunny Tolani, CEO, Prince Organization; Chris Green, COO, Chesapeake Hospitality; Brooke Denihan Barrett, CEO Denihan Hospitality; Justin Jabara, VP of development, Meyer Jabara Hotels; Donna Quadri-Felitti, Marvin Ashner director and associate professor at The Pennsylvania State University School of Hospitality Management; and Debra Punke, SVP of human capital and communications, Concord Hospitality.
For a deeper dive into these complex topics, look for the cover story in the July 15 issue of Hotel Business.

The recognition of Pittwater in the course of the pandemic has been highlighted with one other file setting beachfront sale. The up to date traditional model Palm Seaside house of Lisa Keighery has offered.
No worth reveal but from McGrath promoting agent William Manning, who took the itemizing down from web sites on Friday. Nevertheless Keighery’s five-bedroom, four-bathroom house had include a bullish information of $16 million to $17 million since July. And Manning had been telling underbidders they’d must be paying inside the worth vary.
It is going to be a file worth alongside Iluka Rd.
Keighery used architect Alexander Roth, together with Marco Meneguzzi, for the interiors.
Her Snapperman Seaside house was purchased for $7,555,000 in 2007, a 12 months earlier than her fashion-designer husband Mark Keighery died, having fought most cancers for 10 years.
The 582sqm itemizing adopted the $9 million close by sale to Anthony Scali, the retail household’s third purchase on Iluka Rd, this one from the Mitchell household who paid $72,500 in 1977.
Goldman Sachs’ Zac Fletcher purchased the adjoining constructing block for $10.35 million. The Iluka Rd worth file has stood since 2007 with Uncle Toby’s founder Doug Shears’ $15 million buy of Anakela from the late grocery tycoon Jim Fleming. And it was a 1948sqm holding.
Brokers have observed a wave surge in purchaser curiosity because the pandemic triggered the pattern of rich consumers gravitating out of the town for way of life properties. And preferably simply accessible.
The late June sale at Newport of Casa Paloma, the newly-built house of mannequin Jennifer Hawkins and her builder husband, Jake Wall, for a stellar $24.5 million to Mike and Annie Cannon-Brookes confirmed the push was on for safer, spacious, and opulent second houses. The value information for the glamorous couple’s Pittwater providing throughout its eight months of selling had been $20 million by Christie’s Worldwide agent Ken Jacobs.
Throughout on the ocean aspect, the jewelry designer Sybella Morris splashed out in July to safe the Alex Popov-designed residence The Hutt at Whale Seaside for $10.3 million. It had been listed by David Edwards, of LJ Hooker Palm Seaside, for 2 years.
The file worth for the beachfront strip at Palm Seaside was set in February when Caledonia co-chief funding officer, Mike Messara paid $24 million for the Chisholm household’s trophy house, Melaleuca.

possibly it ‘s crossed your thinker when you picked up a food order, grabbed a beverage at the drive-thru or ordered a pizza : How significant is the gamble of COVID-19 when handling pickup and delivery items ? While the chances of transmittance via food messenger are quite abject, experts say taking a phone number of precautionary steps can help minimize risk and put the mind at ease. With home pitch for exercise, proper distancing with the driver is highly recommend.
“ You always ask them good to leave it at the door, ” said University of Guelph food skill professor Keith Warriner. “ You ‘ve got more gamble of being infected by a person preferably than a parcel. ” research published in the New England Journal of Medicine end workweek suggests the virus can live for up to 24 hours on cardboard and on early surfaces, including plastic, for up to 72 hours. While there ‘s a little possibility an infect person may have sneezed or coughed while handling your food order, chances that the virus will be passed along on the promotion are slender, said Warriner. He said frequent handwash, peculiarly before or after handling food and containers, can further mitigate the gamble. indeed handling that pizza box should n’t truly be induce for heighten concern.
“ When you say survive, that ‘s merely one aspect — [ the virus has ] got to transfer adenine well, ” said Warriner. “ It ‘s reasonably moo risk, so you would n’t need to worry about that. ” At the drive-thru, there could besides be a slender luck that an infect person may have coughed or sneezed near your food or beverage regulate, said Warriner.

Wash hands, re-heat food
Questions around food condom come as restaurants across Canada have shut their doors in late weeks, either voluntarily or thanks to government regulations amid the COVID-19 pandemic — while many others have shifted to take-out or delivery options to keep business going. If there ‘s any business about condom, steps can be taken when you get home, Warriner said. The food or drink can be heated again and hands should be washed before and after handling. “ I think the risk is credibly low, ” said Jeff Kwong, associate conductor of the Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases at the University of Toronto. “ They ‘re handling the food for a very unretentive menstruation of time and handing it to you … it ‘s credibly safe. ”
Jennifer Ronholm, an adjunct professor in staff of agricultural and environmental sciences at McGill University, said research in this area is just starting to come in.
But like the other experts, she feels it ‘s not an sphere of meaning concern. “ There is not very much — if any — evidence that people are getting sick this direction, ” she said. “ With this many people, we probably would have seen it if this is a major route of transmittance. “ Quantifying precisely what the low hazard is of this activeness, it ‘s impossible to put a total to with what we know right now. ”

But Aston Martin has backtracked on those plans, and instead says its mid-engined monsters are reserved for the super-rich and nobody else. According to Auto Car, company boss Lawrence Stroll was speaking with the press at the Monaco Grand Prix when he said that “volume wasn’t important” when it comes to the British outfit’s mid-engined models. Instead, the brand’s focus will be on “profitability and exclusivity,” according to the publication.
That’s sad news for anyone that liked the look of the Vanquish Vision concept that Aston Martin unveiled back in 2019.
The awesome Vanquish Vision took the aggressive stylings of the Valkyrie and Valhalla and promised to make them more accessible to mere mortals. This meant a hybrid V6 instead of the V12 you find in the Valkyrie and less of the F1-inspired aerodynamics you find on the multi-million-dollar racer.
It was an incredible sounding and looking proposition but, sadly, it’ll never materialize. Instead, if you want a mid-engined Aston you’ll be stuck on the waiting list for one of the 999 Valhallas that Stroll says the company plans to build.

Electronics manufacturing services provider Probe Manufacturing, Inc. said that its order backlog has increased to $3 million, due in part to more electronics manufacturing moving back to the United States.
“We strongly believe that manufacturing for small- to medium-sized businesses is coming back to the U.S.,” said Kam Mahdi, CEO of Probe Manufacturing. He said these companies now manufacturing offshore have become “adversely affected by the increases in costs, unmanageable processes, and intellectual property protection concerns of manufacturing abroad.”
As a result, demand for Probe’s manufacturing services in the United States has increased and its backlog is growing. ”We expect that trend to continue throughout the remainder of the year,” said Mahdi.
Probe’s backlog consists of existing and new customers in the aerospace, medical, industrial, instrumentation, and alternative energy industries.
Probe recently acquired Trident Manufacturing, which operates a 16,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. Probe, based in Irvine, Calif., said it expects to achieve gross profit margin in the range of 28-30%.

The wave of brewpubs opening in the region will sweep into South Boston in the spring, if all goes according to plan.
The owners of Factory Street Brewing Company are shooting for a spring opening. The brewery, located at the intersection of Factory Street and Seymour Drive in the Venture Center building, is within short walking distance of The Prizery and SVHEC, downtown shops and the Tobacco Heritage Trail.
“We hope the brewery will support the economy of local businesses in downtown South Boston,” said Lisa Francisco, co-owner with Jeff Francisco, general manager Cyndi Overby and brewmaster Brigid Layman.
The historic tobacco building, built in 1920, is currently undergoing renovation as part of a complete overhaul. The support beams are being sandblasted, the floor plan rearranged, interior walls have been knocked down, and the ceiling is being painted black to enhance the interior’s natural beauty.
Rob Land Development and Construction is currently working on the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. After the interior walls are reconstructed, next on the list is applying for the ABC license.
“We will open six weeks after obtaining the ABC license,” said Francisco.
Once open, the brewery plans to operate Thursday through Sunday with a variety of rotating food trucks to complement the craft beers for sale.
“There will be a beer for everyone to like,” said Layman. The brewery’s flagship products will include the Lawnmower Ale, an IPA, a stout, and rotating seasonal brews.
Layman describes the Lawnmower Ale as an easy brew to drink, like most light beers. “It will be refreshing, like on a hot day after mowing the lawn,” she said.
Layman is proud to brew with many ingredients produced here in Halifax County. Ronnie and Lois Womack are growing the hops and local honey will be an ingredient of their honey wheat beer.
In support of local non-profit groups, a percentage of the proceeds will be donated from the sale of select brews or small batch brews. Growlers may be purchased along with bottled and tap beers. Growler jugs range from 22 to 64 ounces and prices will vary according to quantity.
The old Gathering Spot restaurant is part of the lounge area for the brewpub. The owners have many ideas for entertainment — such as karaoke, trivia nights, and live music. The courtyard around the building, at 2,800 square feet, offers plenty of space for corn hole tournaments, giant jenga blocks, giant connect four games, kid activities and pets.
At least initially, off-site distribution of Factory Street Brewing Company products will not be offered.

Narwal (云鲸), a Shenzhen-based producer of robotic vacuum cleaner, recently debuted its first-ever scrubber, in a move signaling its entry into an increasingly competitive market segment.
One of the biggest highlights of the new model, named S1, is a design called HorizonTech180°, which allows the device to function even when placed on the floor.
This feature, according to Narwal, departs from most scrubbers currently available in the market, which have difficulty reaching hard-to-clean corners of a home, such as under the sofa or bed.
S1 starts at 2,999 yuan (US$431) and is now ready for pre-sale on Tmall, JD.com, and Douyin’s e-commerce platform.
Narwal said it came up with this product after surveying nearly 1,000 households to learn about their needs and pain points in household cleaning.
The birth of S1 is an outgrowth of two years of R&D, Narwal said, adding it filed over 100 patents for the gizmo.
In recent years, robotic scrubber has emerged as the next big thing in smart home appliance after robotic sweeper and mop.
Narwal has joined a number of domestic peers in venturing into this segment, following the lead of Dreame (追觅科技), Roborock (石头机器人) and Poppyoo (小狗电器).
According to Narwal, S1 possesses a stronger suction pressure, roughly 12% higher than similar products. Meanwhile, it generates a downward pressure almost 42% bigger that peers. This enables S1 to remove stubborn stains, said Narwal.
The comb design that characterizes the roller brush prevents the scrubber from becoming entangled with hair.
Thanks to a low-center-of-gravity structure for the built-in water tank and battery pack, S1 can reduce its own weight to 900g when held in one hand and lowers the tensions on the user’s muscles by 42%.
Compared to rivals, Narwal S1 is capable of being used in narrow home space less than 15cm above the floor. The scrubber’s head is able to rotate itself in all directions, and can be stuck beneath the bed, tea table and sofa to handle cleaning tasks.
This boosts the cleaning productivity by 25%, said Narwal.
S1 also frees the user from washing the roller brush and internal mechanism themselves. With the press of a button, S1 enters into a self-cleaning mode, beginning with centrifugal drying and then heating. The cleaning process lasts 30 minutes.
The sleek design and use of glossy materials for which Narwal has become famous has carried over into S1. Aside from the white surface and glitzy appearance, what sets the scrubber from rivals is that it reduces noise by 68%, causing less disturbance to daily life.
Narwal’s introduction of S1 has been widely interpreted as a move that will raise the stakes in China’s already intense “war” of household gadgets.

Apple Brings Legal Action Against Nokia in UK
The legal feud over patent infringements over in the states between iPhone 4 maker Apple and Nokia N8 maker Nokia continues, but it appears that Apple has now taken the legal fight across the pond and has sued Nokia in the UK.
According to an article over on Intomobile by Marc Flores and by way of Reuters, Apple has mounted legal action against Nokia in the United Kingdom over 9 mobile phone technologies. The legal argument between the two smartphone giants started back in October last year when Nokia kicked things off in the states by accusing Apple of profiting from Nokia technologies.
Mark Durrant, a spokesperson for Nokia has said…“We are investigating the claims, which appear to be based on nine implementation patents already in suit between the two companies in the United States.”
As for the US Apple/Nokia legal wrangle, the US ITC is due to decide on some of the claims between the two next year; however the key court hearings have been scheduled for 2012 in Delaware.

What a $5.2 million Super Bowl ad can buy in digital media
The Super Bowl is approaching, and as in years past, the cost for a single 30-second spot during the game is astronomical. This year, spots range from $5 million to $5.2 million, before production costs and agency fees. That price tag places a lot of pressure on one ad — although it’s worth noting that last year’s Super Bowl spots amassed millions of views on YouTube and Facebook after they aired during the game, according to iSpot.tv data.
32 years’ worth of mobile video ads
The average cost per thousand impressions for interactive mobile vertical video is $14, according to Jen Gavin, vp of brand and ad innovation at PadSquad. For $5.2 million, you can receive 357.1 million impressions. For the same amount of money, you could get 32 years — which amounts to 17.25 million minutes or 287,000 hours — of these ads.
33 social games
A game that lives on social media costs between $150,000 and $300,000, according to digital agency The1stMovement. With $5.2 million, you could create between 17 and 34 social games.
4 weeks of Snapchat lenses
Snapchat audience lenses cost a minimum of $175,000 a day, according to Elijah Harris, vp and group director of paid social at Society. For $5.2 million, you could buy around 29 Snapchat lenses, more than four weeks’ worth. For Snapchat Discover video ads, the average cost per thousand impressions is between $8 and $12, according to ad buyers. For $5.2 million, you could do 433 million to 650 million impressions.
Reach 2 million more people on Facebook
With a budget of $5.2 million on Facebook, you’d be able to reach 113 million people and generate 450 million impressions over a weeklong campaign, meaning every Facebook user reached would see the ad four times. This campaign would reach 2 million more people than the 111.3 million Nielsen found watched the Super Bowl in 2017.
2.6 billion Instagram impressions
Instagram video ads’ cost per thousand impressions ranges from $2 to $3, according to ad buyers. With a budget of $5.2 million, you could get around 2.6 million impressions. And at 2 cents per view, you could get 260 million video views.
2.6 million paid search clicks on Amazon
With the Super Bowl, there’s always the chance that a viewer will miss seeing your ad if they take a moment to dive into the chips and guacamole. At least with search ads, you know people are actively searching for your brand. The cost-per-click rate for search ads on Amazon is roughly $2, according to ad buyers, so with $5.2 million, you could get 2.6 million clicks.
1.85 billion display ad impressions
The average cost per thousand impressions of display ads is $2.80, according to email marketing company MonetizePros. A budget of $5.2 million can get you 1.8 billion display ad impressions.
8 posts from Selena Gomez
An influencer that has around 100,000 followers would usually charge around $3,000 a post on Instagram, according to Richard Wong, vp of marketing and creator relations at influencer agency #Paid. A budget of $5.2 million gets you 1,733 posts with an influencer of this stature, meaning you would have a potential reach of 173.3 million people, 62 million more than tuned into the Super Bowl last year. Influencers with larger followings, like Selena Gomez, who has 133 million followers on Instagram alone, charges $600,000 to post for a brand on the platform, according to Wong. Even at this rate, with $5.2 million, you would be able to purchase eight posts from Gomez with extra money to spare.
At agencies, furloughs are the new layoffs
Agency execs and experts believe that agencies are more inclined to use a furlough than a layoff if they have that option. Agencies are a people business and the need to retain top talent any way they can will likely encourage agencies to use furloughs when possible.

A Cornell University scientist and a designer from Africa have joined forces to create a collection of clothing to protect against mosquitoes.
The initial prototype garment debuted on the runway at the Cornell Fashion Collective spring fashion show. It is comprised of a one-piece body suit, hand-dyed in rich hues of purple, gold and blue, and a mesh cape and hood – all embedded at the molecular level with insecticides.Over 200 million people contract malaria each year, and according to the World Health Organization, an estimated 655,000 people died from malaria in 2010.
Though insecticide-treated nets are popular for warding off mosquitoes in African homes, the Cornell garment can be worn all day and the repellant does not wear off quickly like skin-based versions. According to the press release, by binding repellant and fabric at the nanolevel using metal organic framework molecules, the mesh fabric can be loaded with up to three times more insecticide than normal nets, which usually dissipate after about six months.
Responsible for the design is Matilda Ceesay, a Cornell apparel design undergraduate from Gambia, and Frederick Ochanda, postdoctoral associate in Cornell's Department of Fiber Science & Apparel Design and a native of Kenya.
Both Ochanda and Ceesay have witnessed family members suffer from the disease. "It's so common back home, you can't escape it," Ceesay said.
"Seeing malaria's effect on people in Kenya, it's very important for me to apply fiber science to help this problem," Ochanda noted. "A long-term goal of science is to be able to come up with solutions to help protect human health and life, so this project is very fulfilling for me."
Ceesay and Ochanda hope the concept they have designed might serve as an inspiration to create new technologies for fighting the spread of malaria. Also in the works, Ochanda said, is a fabric that releases repellant in response to changes in temperature or light – offering wearers more protection during times when mosquitoes are on the prowl.
At the very least, they hope the technology can be applied to create longer-lasting insecticide-laden bed nets.

Revolut has announced a 30% reduction in card fraud cases since the introduction of its disposable virtual cards in March.
The fintech’s disposable card system is aimed at customers who frequently make one-off online card purchases.
The details connected with the cards are instantly destroyed as soon as a payment has been processed.
New details are then automatically generated within the app.
Nik Storonsky, CEO at Revolut (pictured above), said: “We believe that it’s our duty to use innovative technology to create new ways to protect our customers against fraud, and these new figures show that it’s working.”
Revolut has also announced the launch of a new machine-learning technology for detecting compliance-related crime.
The new risk model can profile external parties, such as individual bank accounts, ATMs and e-commerce merchants.
This will allow the fintech to detect, analyse and lock down any complex transaction patterns and networks potentially related to criminal activity, including money laundering and terrorist financing.
Risk ratings have also now been applied to all Revolut customers.
The algorithm will apply personalised limits to customers based on their transactional activity.
This also means the bank will remove arbitrary account limits, and existing limits are being removed in the coming weeks.
Alan Chang, VP of operations at Revolut, claimed: “We are incredibly excited to launch the new state-of-the-art, dynamic, risk-scoring algorithm that is completely unseen in the finance industry.
“This will allow us to really focus our investigation efforts in targeting the suspicious activity and allow our normal users to use Revolut hassle free.”

SANTA BARBARA (dpa-AFX) – Speaker supplier Sonos wants to offer its device users an alternative to language assistants from big tech companies. The software is designed tightly for music use and will initially only be available in the US starting in June. By the end of the year, Sonos customers in France will also be able to place orders with their French speakers. Sonos did not give a schedule for other countries on Wednesday.
With the Sonos voice assistant, users will be able to control music playback and more, even in different rooms. Software called Sonos Voice Control can share a speaker with the Amazon Alexa voice assistant, then programs switch to the wake word. Such coexistence on a device that does not work with Google’s competitor software assistant. Although they can be used in parallel in the same system, they must be run on different devices. Sonos and Google (Alphabet C (formerly Google)) are locked in a bitter patent dispute in court.
Sonos brought its language assistant technology home with the purchase of French company Snips in 2019. The preliminary work also explains why France will be the first stop in its international expansion. Data protection should ensure that all voice commands are processed on the devices themselves rather than online in the cloud. In the past, Sonos has indicated that customers were worried about voice assistants from Google and Amazon, so they launched models without the necessary microphones.
Sonos also unveiled its lowest-priced speaker model on Wednesday. The little device called Sonos Ray is said to cost €299 in Germany – and the company says it doesn’t want to leave the job of cheaper speakers for TVs to competitors. The previous Sonos speakers are much more expensive, priced at 999 and 499 euros. According to the latest information, the company has devices in 13 million homes. /sso/DP/zb

Dell, the world’s second largest supplier of personal computers, has announced a global restructuring plan that will unify the company’s product offerings globally and, as Dell hopes, will allow the company to recapture lost market share from its competitors.
For many years large computer companies organized businesses around geographic regions, which was not particularly efficient when it comes to economies of scale, but allowed them to offer different product lines in different parts of the world. Differences in product lines offered in different countries are not only somewhat discriminating, but also slowdown adoption of new technologies. Dell decided to change that and from now on it will focus on creation of PCs that will be competitive globally, not just locally.
“In the past two years we have significantly improved our competitiveness, reengineered our supply chain, broadened our product portfolio and introduced Dell to more people in more places than ever before. We have laid the foundation for the transition from a global business that’s run regionally to businesses that are really globally organized,” said Michael Dell, chairman and chief executive officer.
Mr. Dell said the changes result from listening to customers and responding to their desire for faster innovation and globally standardized products and services.
“Customer requirements are increasingly being defined by how they use technology rather than where they use it. That’s why we won’t let ourselves be limited by geographic boundaries in solving their needs,” the founder and top exec of Dell added.
From now on, Dell will have four major business units:
- Consumer business unit will continue to deal with PCs designed for consumers and will be led by Ron Garriques.
- Large Enterprise business unit will focus on providing IT infrastructure, services and solutions for large IT users worldwide and will be led by Steve Schuckenbrock, currently president of global services and chief information officer.
- Public business unit will answer urgent IT challenges in areas such as government, education, health care and the environment. The organization will be headed by Paul Bell, currently president of Dell Americas.
- Small and Medium business unit will accelerate creation and delivery of SMB-specific solutions and technology to the more than 72 million small and medium-sized businesses worldwide. The unit will be led by Steve Felice, currently president of Dell Asia-Pacific and Japan.
Dell has begun the process of organizing people, functions and practices into the new global business units. The company plans to align its external and internal financial reporting with the new structure during the first half of Dell’s fiscal-year 2010, which begins in February.

Dell, you want to sell more computers improve your customer service. Moving one executive from here to there will fix nothing. Improve the user experience, buying, upgrading and repairing and you will get some return business. One crappy call to customer service and the person is gone for good. When will the large corporation ever figure this out.

LG has finally announced that it will be launching its latest flagship smartphone in the G-series on May 3. The company has confirmed that the upcoming smartphone will be called as LG G7 ThinQ and it is thefirst smartphone in G-series to come with ThinQ moniker.
The company has confirmed that it will be launching the flagship in Seoul on the said date. The company is also planning to launch the smartphone in New York on May 02, 2018. LG has also confirmed that the upcoming smartphone will come loaded with certain AI features. To recall, the brand introduced its ThinQ lineup at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 with LG V30s.
LG has also revealed that the upcoming smartphone will come with new Voice AI that will allow users to perform certain voice commands. The phone will also feature Empathy AI and Vision AI, which enhances the camera performance of the device.
Furthermore, the LG G7 ThinQ will come with enhanced performance as well as enhanced interoperability with other devices. “Since smartphones have focused on filling new functions and more functions so far, it is time for us to find solutions to how convenient customers actually use them. We will show the convenience that we have not seen until now by concentrating the accumulated AI technology,” Director of LG Electronics.
Previously, the smartphone was reported to come in five colours – Aurora Black, Platinum Grey, Moroccan Blue, Moroccan Blue (Matte), and Raspberry Rose. In the official render, the phone is shown to have a notch as well as an edge to edge design, the report added. In the notch area, there will be a front camera and the earpiece speaker.
Also, the LG G7 ThinQ has a dual camera set up in the rear panel but it will be in vertical shape rather than the horizontal shape of previous LG models. As per the report, the G7 will come with an additional fourth button apart from volume up/down and power buttons.


text: by The PMA Team Mitchells & Butlers, the UK's second-largest managed operator with 2,077 pubs, has enjoyed a strong summer with like-for-like sales up by 6%. Sales growth was led by suburban pub restaurant brands like Harvester, Toby and Vintage Inn, which saw sales rise by 7%. But even on the high street the company fared better than JD Wetherspoon in the 19 weeks to 18 September by increasing sales by 3.9% Wetherspoon's sales were static over the summer. Widening the product range at venues helped boost sales, with Stella Artois achieving incremental sales of 100,000 barrels per annum. The Scottish Courage brand portfolio was also introduced at the start of the year. Chief executive Tim Clarke revealed that cask-ale sales from the regional brewers were 30% up on the year before. "We're in the midst of a huge extension of the cask-ale range," he said. The company revealed that average food and drink prices were 1% lower than the year before. Average gross sales per outlet rose to £15,200 per week. Net operating margins were only slightly below last year, despite £15m of external cost increases. In 2005, however, external costs will rise by the same amount, with the increased burden of additional energy costs of about £4m. "In the pub sector in general, there remains regulatory uncertainty over smoking and strong price competition in the high street," the company stated. "The Mitchells & Butlers business is increasingly focused on the long-term growth of the informal, value-for-money, eating and drinking-out market in residential areas, where our pubs are capturing a disproportionate share." Analysts pointed out that strong sales data had been helped by the transfer of 45 pubs to franchise. Doug Jack, of Lazard, recommending investors to buy Mitchells & Butlers stock, said: "Our positive stance is built around management turning around M&B, a process that includes the exploitation of possibly £50m of annual costs, buying and sales mix improvements by 2008, in addition to licensing reform being an opportunity. "The greatest threat to M&B is a smoking ban in public places, but the probability of this being restricted in pubs is increasing." On the basis of the strong summer trading, Jack increased his profit forecast for 2004 from £176.9m to £180.9m. Arbuthnot analyst Alan Millar said: "Without wanting to take too much away from the management, we anticipate that projected sales growth could slow as the company has passed the anniversary of its sales strategy with all the easy' gains having been made in 2004.

Microsoft has marked the imminent death of one of its own browsers, Internet Explorer version 6, by baking a cake.
‘Time to pop open the champagne because, based on the latest data from Net Applications, IE6 usage in the US has now officially dropped below 1%!’ wrote Roger Capriotti, director of Internet Explorer Marketing, on the official Windows blog.
Capriotti implored developers to stop wasting their time on the ‘outdated’ browser, which was released more than a decade ago.
It may appear like a strange move to celebrate the demise of your own product, but the people at Windows are keen for internet users to upgrade to a more current version of Internet Explorer
‘So as we kick off 2012, we call on the rest of the world â make it your new yearâs resolution to end IE6 and move to a modern browser like IE8 or IE9,’ wrote Capriotti.
The usage has already dropped below one per cent in countries such as the Czech Republic, Mexico, Ukraine, Portugal and the Philippines.
Microsoft recently set up a website, http://www.ie6countdown.com, to help break down the remaining percentage of users across the world.

It's getting closer, guys. Only one month to wait until the new iPhone model is unveiled by Apple.
A load of names have been thrown around for the latest generation, but it looks like we'll be lining up to get our hands on an iPhone 7 Plus, not the iPhone 7 or the iPhone Pro as previously rumored.
So, here's the deal: We know speculation about new Apple phones runs rife this time of year.
You'll normally see uncredited videos alleging to show the latest model from a factory somewhere in China.
But we've got something better.
YouTube channel Unbox Theory has taken us through the most comprehensive breakdown of the iPhone 7 Plus yet. The channel got a prototype made, and it's probably the closest we're going to get to the real thing until September.
So, what are the key differences we know about so far?
I'm glad you asked. We'll start with the most important.
No headphone jack
It's true. The prototype these guys mocked up has no input for headphones. This is the most widely circulating and biggest change we can expect. Instead, we'd have to use wireless headphones or a dongle.
More speakers could replace the old jack.
You'll notice three round dots on the back.
The experts believe this is a wireless interface to connect with headphones, chargers and speakers.
If there's a new iPhone, there's usually a new color. One of the rumored colors for the latest model is this awesome blue hue. We like.
There's also going to be a larger camera, and the shape should be a little thinner than previous models.
The rest will have to wait until the grand unveiling (you have to keep SOME things a surprise).

Acer, one of the latest big companies to have entered the smartphone industry, launched about 10 handsets until now, most of them running Microsoft’s Windows Mobile OS.
In fact, only one Acer smartphone doesn’t have Windows Mobile – the Acer Liquid A1, which is based on Google’s Android platform.
For 2010, Acer plans to introduce yet another 8 to 10 new smartphones, but this time the line-up will be more balanced between Android and Windows – se we could expect to see half of Acer’s 2010 handsets coming with Android.
The Liquid A1 (pictured above), Acer’s only Android phone to date, should be – according to Reuters – available starting this week, although it’s not clear yet where and for what price (€379.99, if previous rumors are to be believed).
