So you guys remember at the 2007 New York Auto Show where Chevrolet unveiled the three mini-cars including the Beat, Trax and Groove? Well if you don’t Chevy unveiled those three mini-cars at NYIAS and asked for the world’s opinion on which should be produced.
Yesterday at the 2007 LA Auto Show, Chevrolet announced that the Chevrolet Beat concept beat the rest and will go into production for markets outside the U.S. and Canada starting mid-2009.
Bob Lutz told the press that he was glad the Beat one because that’s the one they were hoping to produce in the first place.

Chevrolet’s got the Beat: Production Slated Based on Global Popularity
LOS ANGELES ““ A vehicle based on the Chevrolet Beat concept, which swept through auto shows around the globe and the Internet earlier this year, will go into global production, Chevrolet announced today at the 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show.
An online poll that attracted more than 1.8 million voters helped influence the decision to take the concept to production. The distinctly styled A-class car will be initially targeted to markets outside of U.S. and Canada, starting in mid-2009.
“The people have spoken. The vote count tripled all previous GM online consumer surveys, telling us the Beat resonated with customers all around the world,” said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. “Chevrolet was overwhelmed by the positive reaction to each of the “˜triplets,” but the Beat was the clear winner.”
The production model will carry the spirit of the expressive Beat concept, offering compact, city-friendly dimensions and a small-displacement engine that delivers excellent fuel economy. It adds further depth and breadth to Chevrolet”s global lineup, which is sold in more than 90 countries, giving the brand a leadership position in the segment ““ the fastest-growing automotive segment in many regions around the world.
“Fuel solutions and great-looking cars are at the core of Chevrolet”s values, and this new production model aligns perfectly with those tenents,” said Peper. “It will be truly global, built around the world for a variety of diverse markets.”
The Beat and the other concepts highlighted in the online survey were developed primarily at GM”s Design Studio in Bupyeong, South Korea , with input from GM”s global network of designers and GM”s Korean partner, GM Daewoo. As South Korea is a primary market for this exciting new car, production will begin there.
Conceived to evoke the mood of a speedy micro import tuner, the Beat concept debuted at the 2007 New York Auto Show, along with two other concepts, Groove and Trax. All were designed to appeal to young car buyers in urban markets, infusing the energy, diversity and excitement of urban life into cars that deliver good-looking fun, fuel economy and value.
The Beat concept was designed and built leveraging GM”s Global Product Development process, created from best practices around the world that integrate design, engineering, powertrain and manufacturing organizations to ensure each vehicle program meets its quality, timing and business targets, yet is responsive to the needs in regional markets.
As part of its global product development process, GM is growing the skills and capabilities of its design and engineering centers around the world, using key tools and technologies, such as a global virtual design and engineering network, that allow engineers and designers to collaborate with each other worldwide.
The production car based on the Beat concept incorporates these resources, bringing to market quickly a right-sized car, with a right-sized ecological footprint at the right time.
Chevrolet delivers expressive design, spirited performance and great value. Chevrolet cars and trucks are sold in 90 countries in every region of the world. Chevrolet global sales of 1.18 million vehicles in the third quarter of 2007 were up more than 5 percent compared with a year ago. January-September 2007 sales of 3,362,876 represent an increase of 3.24 percent over January-September 2006. More information on Chevrolet can be found at http://media.gm.com/.

The ‘phablet’ is essentially a cross-over between a phone and a tablet, and is around 5-inches in size. The market has been here before, of course, what with Dell launching the 5-inch Streak in 2011 and more recently Samsung outing the stylus-equipped Galaxy Note.
Some researchers, including Gartner and DisplaySearch, have openly admitted to TabTimes that they don’t see this category as to taking off, but ABI Research clearly disagrees, and today published the new ‘Phablets and Super Smartphones’ report which indicates that phablet shipments will increase by a factor of ten this year, before growing to reach a healthy 208 million units by 2015.
To highlight just how big that figure is, it is worth pointing out that fellow researcher iSuppli expects total tablet shipments to reach 242 million units over the same time-frame.
ABI Research claims that HTC, LG and Huawei will launch their own models in 2012, and interestingly points to Samsung’s Galaxy S3 smartphone as a ‘phablet’, a view which Samsung agrees with, if recent reports are anything to go by.
“One of the chief drivers for phablets is the amount of time people use their smartphones for web browsing, reading articles and newspapers on the go, or simply navigating their journeys,” said senior analyst Joshua Flood, in a statement.
“The larger screen sizes make a significant difference to the user’s experience when compared to conventional-sized touchscreens between 3.5 to 4 inches.” The firm added that this style of device provides a kind of ‘two-in-one’ device between a smartphone and tablet, and actually suggests that larger smartphones are competing with smaller tablets.
ABI Research defines phablets as to having a touchscreen display sized between 4.6 and 5.5-inches.

A “can-do” attitude among businesses in Wales has made them an “essential” part of the PPE supply chain during the pandemic, it has been claimed.
The director of a manufacturing firm which started making PPE in March said firms in Wales had been motivated to create a “sustainable” supply chain.
The head of procurement for NHS Wales said businesses will be needed in the event of a second wave.
In April, PPE supplies in Wales were down to enough for “just a few days”.
The admission came from the Welsh Government at the height of the pandemic as international competition for PPE meant delays in supply.
Across the UK there were also issues with the quality of stock provided from abroad.
Mark Roscrow, head of procurement for the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, said having Welsh businesses involved in production had provided “a greater sense of assurance”.
“We don’t have to stock as much as we normally would have done because we have a product we can rely on on our doorstep” he said.
He estimated there was now five times the level of PPE stock held by NHS Wales when compared with the start of the pandemic.
Welsh Government figures show stocks stood at almost 130 million items at the end of July, and last week it announced hundreds of millions of pounds of extra funding to boost levels further.
Part of that supply will come from businesses who had never made PPE until the coronavirus outbreak.
British Rototherm, based in Neath Port Talbot, manufactured industrial measuring instruments until mid-March when they got a call from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, which urgently needed face shields.
The company’s managing director, Oliver Conger, said they quickly figured out how to make the face shields and delivered on the order. It soon became clear how much need there was.
“Within a couple of days the phone was off the hook,” Mr Conger recalled.
“We started producing about 1,000 a day, then we upped that to 10,000 a day, and right now we are producing in excess of 50,000 face shields a day.”
The company also moved into making face masks, and in July it was announced they would be benefitting from part of £14m in UK government funding aimed at boosting supply of high-quality face masks.
Mr Conger said he was sure the location of the business was a big part of its success.
“The spirit certainly within Wales has been a can-do attitude – let’s get this done, let’s make it a success [and] let’s have a sustainable manufacturing base for PPE.”
To get its products up to the required safety standards, British Rototherm enlisted the help of the Surgical Materials Testing Laboratory in Bridgend.
It is the only NHS facility in the whole of the UK able to test the full range of PPE for adherence to health and safety guidelines.
Laboratory director Pete Phillips said he believes local PPE supply is the best way to ensure quality.
“It’s impossible for us to go out to audit a manufacturer in China,” he explained.
“You have to rely on agents on the ground in China, but if it’s a manufacturer of masks in Pontardawe, someone can actually go down and look at their quality management system and look at the products.”
At the height of the outbreak, Mr Phillips said PPE stocks were low so the health service had to rely on less well-known or untested suppliers, which did lead to issues with quality.
The laboratory found more than 60 faulty or fraudulently certified batches of PPE in the first four months of the pandemic, which Mr Phillips said was more than it had seen in the past 10 years.
Asked whether the UK could ever supply all of its own PPE, Mr Phillips said it was “certainly doable”, adding the country now has the same capacity for keeping prices low as the world’s major manufacturers.
“In the past, people went to China because of cheap labour, but now China is moving towards a lot of automation and we can do automation here in Wales,” he added.
While being self-sufficient in terms of PPE is the aim, Mr Roscrow believes that is still “some way off”.
For now, his priority is having the stock ready for the demands of the next few months, and a potential spike in cases.
“We’re taking this point in time to re-stock product to a higher level than we would have at the start of this [pandemic]. That link to Welsh-based suppliers makes it easier.”
Mr Roscrow said he knows PPE is just one part of the plan to fight Covid-19, which includes an international effort to find a vaccine.
He added: “Hopefully a combination of these things will put us in a far better position to respond to a second wave.”

The New York Times editorial page leads today with a screed against tobacco companies for their lawsuit challenging advertising restrictions in the new FDA law. The board alleges that the companies are challenging the law so that they can surreptitiously market to minors. Leaving aside the authors’ cavalier dismissal of First Amendment rights, this is yet another example of how the board completely misunderstands the current state of tobacco regulation.
It’s easy to test whether the Times‘ charge has merit since there are basically just two reasons that firms pay for advertising. One is to introduce new consumers to a product they don’t currently use, which is what the Times believes Big Tobacco wants to do with young people and cigarettes. The other is to lure existing consumers of a product away from competing producers. This lets us make different predictions based on which motive we think is dominant.
If the Times is right and it’s the former, all tobacco companies would benefit from overturning the advertising restrictions and would present a united opposition to the law. If it’s the latter, only the smaller tobacco companies would challenge it; the largest firm would favor the law as a means of restricting competition.
Is the Times right? Bloomberg provides the answer:
Reynolds, the second-largest U.S. cigarette maker, and third-biggest Lorillard Tobacco Co. sued after opposing the legislation that gives the U.S. Food and Drug Administration oversight over tobacco products. […] Altria Group Inc.’s Philip Morris USA, which makes half of the cigarettes sold in the U.S., supported FDA regulation and endorsed the law.
This doesn’t mean that the smaller companies don’t want to target youth too or that Philip Morris won’t eventually join in, but Philip-Morris’ ambivalence is telling. The anti-competitive effects of the law were clearly one of the main factors at work in its passage.
Reading the Times’ editorial you would never know that the nation’s single largest producer of cigarettes isn’t part of the current lawsuit. This is the same error of omission they made with their opposition to Senator Kirstin Gillibrand, discussed at length here. Time and again the board’s anti-tobacco zealotry has caused them to misunderstand how tobacco regulation has changed after the Master Settlement Agreement. Big tobacco companies, and Philip Morris especially, now view the government as a partner they can use to protect their market share. By consistently misconstruing the effects of new regulations and neglecting to mention the industry’s hand in writing them, The New York Times has become the best mouthpiece Philip Morris could ever hope for.

This morning, Molson Coors Brewing announced that its Coors Brewing unit has inked a 5-year pact with the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR I always forget that's an acronym) to be the official beer sponsor for the league. As part of the pact, Coors Light will be lauded as the official beer of NASCAR, clinching the exclusive rights to NASCAR logos in advertising, packaging, and promotions. Financial terms of the deal were not published.
Coors' larger rival, Anheuser-Busch , said in December that it would end its 25-year sponsorship of NASCAR's Busch Series after the 2007 season. BUD paid about $10 million per year for sponsoring this series, but NASCAR officials were hoping to raise the price to between $35 million and $40 million, a sum at which BUD balked. BUD is obviously losing its role as beer sponsor as well, and is no longer sponsoring driver Dale Earnhardt as of this season's conclusion. But BUD isn't completely out of the high-octane game ... driver Kasey Kahne will take over the Budweiser colors and logo beginning in 2008.
In early trading today, TAP and BUD shares are both showing minor gains.

Production of Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Group cars has gotten a boost
Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWIPL) has upped production at its manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune by commencing a third shift.
The Group says it had to increase output owing to rising demand for automobiles made at the factory which includes the Polo, Vento, Virtus and Taigun for Volkswagen and Kushaq and Slavia for Skoda.
By increasing production at Chakan, SAVWIPL aims to accelerate deliveries of the Skoda Slavia. The C-segment sedan’s non-identical twin from Volkswagen, the Virtus, will be launched in June this year.
The Pune facility is one of the most modern plants in the Volkswagen Group worldwide. Spread across 540 acres, it covers the entire production process, from press shop through body shop, paint shop to final assembly and also houses the engine shop where the 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI petrol engines are produced.
The Group, which also has a manufacturing facility in Aurangabad, witnessed 76 percent growth in volumes across its 5 brands last year. It also recently started exporting the made-in-India Volkswagen T-Cross, the first to be underpinned by the MQB-A0-IN platform in India.

VC funding may be getting tough – but this hasn’t been a problem for App Annie. Today the company announced a round of $63 million in equity and debt financing, which included investors like Greenspring Associates, e.Ventures, Greycroft Partners, Institutional Venture Partners (IVP) and Sequoia Capital.
“AppAnnie has emerged as a leader in providing serious app metrics, and an important company to the growth of the app economy by identifying emerging winners and trends,” said Nat Friedman, who is the CEO and cofounder of Xamarin.
The numbers certainly bear this out as revenue growth jumped by 2X last year, placing the company on the No. 10 spot of Deloitte’s 2015 Fast 500 List (the revenue ramp from 2011 to 2014 was 5,383%). Just some of the customers include biggies like Google, LinkedIn, Tencent, Microsoft and Dow Jones.
App Annie got its start back in 2010, when Bertrand Schmitt and Bjørn Stabell saw a huge opportunity with the launch of the iPhone. “The appstore was a great way to distribute content,” said Bertrand. “So we thought there would be a strong need for tools and services.”
Both of the founders were actually in China and stayed there for about four years. As a result, App Annie had a global focus from the start. “About 50% of business is currently outside the US,” said Bertrand.
But there have been some other smart moves along the way. For example, App Annie has leveraged the efficient model of basing the engineering team in China. The result is that the company has continued to innovate at a fast pace, such as by launching tools like Store Intelligence (accurate estimates of app sales and revenue performance), Usage Intelligence (insights on engagement, reach and retention) and Audience Intelligence (estimates on user demographics)
And yes, another key to the growth has been using the freemium approach, which has helped amass a user base of over 500,000. “To make this model work,” said Bertrand, “you need to provide compelling value with the free services. These services should also be easy to use and share with friends. Then you need to ask: How do you leverage the base? To get this right, the premium service needs to be tightly connected to the free service and you also need to nail the right price point.”
As for the next phase for App Annie, it does look like there will be an IPO at some point. After all, the company recently brought on Zach Nelson to the board. Keep in mind that he took the helm at NetSuite in 2002 and led the company through a successful transition to the public markets.
“Being a public company is part of the game plan,” said Bertrand. “We believe we have built a long-term sustainable business and we are No. 1 in our space, being well-financed. Combining all this, we have all the options in the world in front of us.”

The popular rock band The Offspring had been scheduled to play a show at the venue on Wednesday night. The show has been cancelled.
Police sources say the suspect is 62 year old Richard Henry Bain, the owner of a hunting and fishing lodge in the mountains north of Montreal.
The scene of last night's PQ victory party is now part of a security perimeter, a one block area in Montreal's downtown sectioned off with orange and blue police tape.
"(Harper) indicated that such acts of Nike Sweatpants Green violence are inexcusable and have no place in Canada," said a summary of the discussion, provided by the Prime Minister's Office.
she only learned after leaving the partisan celebration that someone had died.
A shooter had blasted his way into the back of the building, shooting two people and killing one, before setting a fire at the exit.
Around two dozen investigators were still on the scene a dozen hours later. Some were examining a gas canister lying near a GMC truck, believed to be linked to the crime.
Reports say the victim was a sound technician who was working at the Metropolis club last night. Police sources confirmed the man's name, Denis Blanchette, but not his employer.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a statement saying he was angered and saddened that such an event could happen in the country. There was a moment of silence at an NDP retreat in St. John's and Tom Mulcair, the party Nike Shorts Cotton
leader, said his colleagues were in a state of shock.
The suspect has yet to be formally charged. According to the Facebook page of a Richard Henry Bain, he runs a hunting and fishing lodge near Mont Tremblant, Que. The website for the camp has since been suspended.
Police are also questioning the suspected gunman. They are not confirming, or ruling out, the possibility that the intended target was the newly elected premier.
Shooting during PQ victory speech leaves one dead
During the incident, police confiscated a weapon that carried a resemblance to an AK 47 assault Nike Gray Shorts
A suspect under police custody has been brought to a Montreal hospital for a medical examination, according to a hospital statement.
"Never, never will I accept that Quebec is associated with violence," Marois told a news conference Wednesday.
The events have sent shockwaves across the political world, with expressions of condolence and disbelief trickling back from elsewhere in the country.
He was wearing a housecoat and black facemask when he was tackled by police, and while being whisked away he shouted about an awakening of English speaking Quebecers.
The prime minister's initial phone call to the premier designate, Marois, touched on the business of government but also on the tragic events.
The Parti Quebecois leader says people shouldn't draw hasty conclusions from what she described as an act of folly, committed by someone who may be suffering from mental issues.
Marois says that she had no idea she might have been in danger when bodyguards whisked her off the stage during her victory speech and she says Nike Joggers Camo
Around midnight pandemonium swept over what had been a celebration for the newly elected PQ. The incident triggered the surreal scene of a victory speech by Marois being interrupted as she was whisked off the stage by bodyguards.
The victim's body was carried out from the crime scene Wednesday around noon, about a dozen hours after the attack.

Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Cybercrime?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Cybercrime is a type of crime involving a computer or a computer network. The computer may have been used in committing the crime, or it may be the target. Cybercrime may harm someone's security or finances.
|Subfields and other major theories|
Internationally, both state and non-state actors engage in cybercrimes, including espionage, financial theft, and other cross-border crimes. Cybercrimes crossing international borders and involving the actions of at least one nation-state are sometimes referred to as cyberwarfare. Warren Buffett has said that cybercrime is the "number one problem with mankind" and that it "poses real risks to humanity".
A 2014 report sponsored by McAfee estimated that cybercrime had resulted in $445 billion USD in annual damage to the global economy. Approximately $1.5 billion was lost in 2012 to online credit and debit card fraud in the US. In 2018, a study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), in partnership with McAfee, concluded that nearly 1 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP), close to $600 billion, is lost to cybercrime each year. The World Economic Forum 2020 Global Risk Report confirmed that organized cybercrime groups are joining forces to commit criminal activities online, while estimating the likelihood of their detection and prosecution to be less than 1 percent in the US. There are also many privacy concerns surrounding cybercrime when confidential information is intercepted or disclosed, legally or otherwise.

Average house price climbs in Regina to $313, 917
It continues to be a seller's market in Regina for home owners.
The average prices of houses selling with Regina's city limits was $313,917. That is an increase of nine per cent and also a new high. When the areas around Regina were included, that price lowers to $297,708.
Other new numbers from the Association of Regina Realtors show 386 sales were reported through the MLS system for the Regina area. That's under 400 for the first time since March this year. Last month had the third highest July sales, just behind 2009 and 2007.
Altogether, sales represented $100 million for the fifth month in a row, which is also a new high for July. During the month it took an average of 32 days to sell a home, which was just under 33 days last year.
Gord Archibald, the executive officer of the Association of Regina Realtors, expects trends like this to continue.
"Provided we continue to see economic growth, population growth and job growth that will continue to support a pretty vibrant market here in Regina," said Archibald.
The MLS system doesn't report where people are buying from, but Archibald expects it is a mix of newcomers to the area, those moving up and and first-time buyers.

Lost market share in the U.S. and a price war in Germany threaten solar panel maker SunPower’s (SPWRA) forecast for this year, writes Pacific Crest analyst Mark Bachman in a note this morning. He downgraded the stock to “Underperform” from “Sector Perform” and set a $21 price target.
SunPower beat estimates for its Q2 when it reported on July 23, and raised the bottom of its forecast for 2009 revenue from $1.3 billion to $1.35 billion this year.
“We have little conviction that goals for the second half of 2009 can be met,” writes Bachman. Some of the main points mentioned in today’s report are a reiteration of concerns Bachman raised right after SunPower’s Q2.
Bachman notes that SunPower’s business is a “black box,” with little disclosure as to what part of sales come from modules, meaning, the components of solar panel systems, and what part comes from systems themselves. He says sales of systems could be delayed by problems with project financing at electric utilities buying those panels. As for modules, the company’s network of 600 dealers leaves little visibility into how module sales may be faring.Bachman writes that “SunPower does not agree with our assessment of visibility, but dealers who we talk with are adamant that there is significant variability in their project plans, which change daily.”>>>MORE

MNUBO to provide CaSA with on-demand analytics in new partnership
CaSA, a company reinventing the concept of responsible energy management has partnered with mnubo, the leading Internet of Things (IoT) Data Analytics company, to deliver real-time actionable insights to thousands of smart home customers and service providers.
Through this partnership, mnubo’s IoT analytics platform integrates with CaSA’s connected appliances and smart applications, providing actionable intelligence for optimized energy consumption. There is a tremendous amount of energy stored in residential appliances, which CaSA recognizes, can be used to offset peak demand on the electric grid. In fact, Natural Resources Canada has shown that the size of Province of Quebec’s winter peak demand for two hours, estimated at 39 GW/85 GWh, is the equivalent to the space and water heating in all of Canada. Putting this partnership in practice, residential customers can reduce their electricity bill, without compromising comfort and safety, while utility providers can better anticipate costly energy demand bursts during peak-period use. “mnubo’s IoT analytics is an out-of-the-box solution that can be deployed rapidly, enabling our team to focus on the most strategic aspects of CaSA’s solutions,” explains Martin Fassier, Product Director at CaSA. “Not only are we getting the peace of mind of a platform that can scale to millions of appliances, but it also gives us access to advanced data science and machine learning capabilities”. “We are extremely excited to be working with CaSA’s team in enabling efficient Energy Demand Response systems. CaSA’s Caleo thermostats and water heater controllers are unique products that generate an impressive amount of data. It’s a privilege to bring our expertise to such a key sector” stated Frederic Bastien, CEO of mnubo
mnubo is an IoT analytics company. The SmartObjects Platform extracts business value from data by delivering out-of-the-box analytics, strategic insights and advanced data science. It offers a SaaS solution to IoT product manufacturers to ingest, enrich and analyze their object data.
CaSA, a specialist in connected appliances reinventing the concept of electrical energy management, achieved prominence a year ago with the launch of the Caleo thermostat, the world’s only device able to control electric heating baseboards through a Wi-Fi network.

Relief in sight for Korean beef stoush
South Korea, which reworked an unpopular US beef import deal that sparked mass street protests, could soon resume imports once a legal step has been completed, the trade minister says.
South Korea and the United States reached a private-sector deal in Washington this week to limit US beef exports to cattle under 30 months old, which are thought to pose less risk of mad cow disease to consumers, Trade Minister Kim Jong-hoon told reporters.
Mr Kim says a deal is expected "some time next week".
Once the legal notice is published, US beef that has been in frozen storage in South Korea for months could be inspected and then head to store shelves.
This could happen as early as next week, although Mr Kim later said that it might not be so soon because of the sensitivity of the issue for South Koreans.
South Korea and the United States first reached a deal in April that would allow in all cuts of US beef regardless of age.
But this quickly led to a crisis for the government of new President Lee Myung-bak, who sent Mr Kim to Washington this week to add safeguards to the original agreement.
The April beef deal was meant to help a separate bilateral free-trade accord that US congressional leaders threatened to block unless South Korea opened up its market to beef imports.
But widespread concern over mad-cow disease in US beef quickly turned the issue into a lightning rod for a broad range of grievances that sparked protests against Mr Lee's government, increasingly seen as out of touch with the public.

Splatoon Heist Puts Damper on UK Launch
When you hear of a heist you usually think of a bunch of robbers holding up a bank and escaping with a bag stuffed full of money. Not a group holding up a truck for amiibos...
The truck could have been completely random, but regardless, anyone who preordered special editions of Splatoon are now left without fulfillment.
Retailers are being generous, allowing cancellation of the orders and reimbursement of a standard edition.

In a bewildering development, Canada’s Conservative government, apparently oblivious to the rash of food-safety scares in recent years, has proposed less regulation of the food industry there. According to talking points, the government wants to eliminate the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s approval process for food labels. The government claims—and please don’t stop me if you’ve heard this before—that scrapping this system will help companies “take the lead in fulfilling their responsibility for consumer protection.”
Hilariously, even as the government markets the idea as an industry-friendly initiative, the most vehement opposition is coming from the food industry: The Food Processors of Canada calls it “playing Russian roulette with the Canadian public.” The total savings? An almost invisible 87,000 Canadian dollars. The timing? Horrible. The proposal leaked in the same week that authorities traced a deadly strain of listeriosis to a Canadian meat processing plant.

Obese Australians drink roughly 152ml of soft drink PER DAY... and one in four people regularly sip on fizzy beverages
- Overweight people more likely to drink sugary drinks over healthy beverages
- 23% of people drink soft drink every day
- Two surveys conducted by Western Australia and South Australia governments found men drink soft drink more than women
- Health expert warns young people to be aware of the serious consequences when drinking sugary beverages
People who consume soft drink are significantly more likely to be overweight and sip more of the sugary beverage than their healthy counterparts, research reveals.
An analysis of two government surveys in Western Australia and South Australia has found about 23 per cent of people drink soft drink every day.
In both surveys, men were more likely than women to have a soft drink, and beverage consumption decreased with age.
Overweight people are more likely to drink sugary drinks over healthy beverages
Curtin University researcher Christina Pollard said people who drank diet refreshments were more likely to be overweight, but overweight and obese people were also more likely to be soft drink consumers.
People of a healthy weight drank about 80ml of soft drink a day, while obese people drank up to 152ml.
Ms Pollard told the Public Health Association of Australia conference in Perth on Monday that interventions to limit soft drink consumption needed to be developed.
She said consumption increased during the warmer months and after a growth in brands' spending on advertising.
Young people in particular were not aware of the consequences of drinking sugary beverages, which could cause weight gain, tooth erosion and poor dietary quality when consumed in excess, Ms Pollard said.

Women in Iran are cutting their hair short and dressing as men to avoid the harsh morality police, it has been reported.
(Article by Julian Robinson , republished from //www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3604661/Women-Iran-cutting-hair-short-dressing-men-avoid-harsh-morality-police.html)
Pictures are increasingly emerging on social media of women defying strict laws in Iran where penalties are imposed for not wearing a hijab.
It comes days after a number of models were arrested and forced to grovel in public for posting glamorous pictures of themselves online without headscarves.
Police arrested eight models in the new crackdown which targeted ‘un-Islamic acts’ such as women exposing their hair.
One famous beauty, Elham Arab, known for her wedding-dress portraits, was interrogated on camera at the Iranian Revolutionary Court with her blonde hair hidden under a black chador.
But despite the crackdown women are still sharing images of themselves in public with their hair uncovered, the Independent reports.
One shows a black and white picture of a woman with short hair and wearing jeans.
A caption alongside the image says: ‘I am an Iranian girl. In order to avoid the morality police, I decided to cut my hair short and wear men’s clothes so that I can freely walk in the streets in Iran.’
Another shows a woman – again with short hair – driving a car as a man drives past on a scooter.
The images were shared on the Facebook page My Stealthy Freedom, set up by New York based Iranian activist Masih Alinejad.
According to the Independent, she launched a campaign calling for an end to compulsory hijab-wearing.
She is quoted as saying: ‘Some girls in Iran would rather secretly dress as men to avoid the compulsory hijab and the morality police. So that is why they make their hair short in order to look like a boy and dress like a boy.
‘It shows that although the Government arrests women who post their photos without headscarves, women are not afraid and they are following their own lifestyle.’
It comes after a series of arrests were made in Iran in a sting operation code-named Spider-2 which particularly targeted users of the picture-sharing site Instagram.
The sting is said to have identified 170 people running Instagram pages – 59 photographers and makeup artists, 58 models, 51 fashion salon managers and designers, and two active institution
In addition to the eight arrests, criminal cases were opened against 21 other people, it was reported.
According to reports those arrested include Melikaa Zamani, Niloofar Behboudi, Donya Moghadam, Dana Nik, Shabnam Molavi, Elnaz Golrokh and Hamid Fadaei.
The hijab has been compulsory in public in Iran since its 1979 Islamic revolution.
In recent years, Iranian women – especially in the capital, Tehran – have worn the mandatory scarf loosely on their head, drawing the ire of conservatives in the Islamic Republic.
Tehran police chief Gen. Hossein Sajedinia in April announced his department had deployed 7,000 male and female officers for a new plainclothes division – the largest such undercover assignment in memory – to enforce the government-mandated Islamic dress code.

Olivia Rodrigo has revealed that the four “secret” tracks from her second album, GUTS, will be released as a Record Store Day Black Friday exclusive on 24 November.
In case you missed it, following the release of GUTS on 8 September, fans were quick to notice that the limited-edition vinyl pressings featured secret tracks, leading some listeners to pick up all four limited-edition vinyl LPs to hear each secret song.
Each of the limited-edition vinyl pressings of GUTS arrived with a hidden song that plays after Teenage Dream — the final song on the standard album.
The hidden songs are Obsessed (found on the red vinyl), Scared of My Guitar (white), Stranger (blue), and Girl I’ve Always Been (purple).
As of 24 November, those four tracks will feature on a single release via Jack White’s record label, Third Man Records, and Record Store Day: a purple limited-edition vinyl with an etched butterfly on the disc.

The Record Store Day Facebook page posted, “GUTS: the secret tracks from Olivia Rodrigo includes the four hidden tracks originally found on the G, U, T, S vinyl. Pressed on limited edition opaque deep purple vinyl and etched with a butterfly at Third Man Pressing.”
You can find a copy of GUTS: the secret tracks via the Record Store Day website.
In a press release for the latest album, Rodrigo shared: “For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life.
“I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20—it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change. I think that’s all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully, the album reflects that.”

Experts at Home Heating Guide Say UK Consumers May Be Missing Out on
Energy Efficiency Grants
Many unaware of Government grants and rebates for heating and insulation
London, UK (PRWeb UK) July 14, 2009 -- Consumers may be missing out on thousands of pounds of
government funded initiatives available across the UK, according to Home Heating Guide, the leading online
resource for domestic heating and energy issues.
Home Heating Guide have found that many homeowners may find they are eligible for home energy efficiency
grants that cover the installation of new high efficiency condensing boilers, central heating systems and home
insulation in a Government drive to reduce domestic household carbon emissions.
The initiatives available across, England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland are operated regionally with
varying criteria and grant amounts that is explained in further detail at Home Heating Guide.
David Holmes of Home Heating Guide commented "many homeowners are unaware that grants are available
which cover a relatively wide criteria and not just reserved for a lucky few, we're encouraging consumers,
especially those on benefits to check out the website to see if they are eligible"
In addition to grants consumers will also benefit in the form of lower fuel bills, a condensing boiler can reduce
household energy bills by up to £235 with a potential reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 1,260 kg/year.
Loft insulation and cavity wall insulation can reduce bills even further by up to £265 and a whopping 1,410
kg/year saving in CO2 emissions, a very significant amount to not only the consumers pocket but also the
For those consumers who may not qualify for a full grant some regions operate a partial grant or rebate system
which is usually aimed at over 60's who are not on benefits but may need help with a heating system or energy
efficiency advice. Either way consumers are urged to apply now in the quieter and warmer months to ensure their

“About 25 states have abolished these checkpoints, so far, it has gone well,” he told PTI here.
This would strengthen the schedule after the electronic invoice in the GST, which would require the execution of all assets of more than Rs 50,000 in value before they can be registered online before being transferred.
“As the e-invoicing process for India is eliminated, we should be able to do something that will be better,” Sarna said.
However, it declined to comment on whether the electronic invoicing threshold would remain at Rs.50,000 or more in multi-quarter requests to lift it.
Officials said the rules for electronic billing will be decided on Saturday. This provision of the GST requires that any product of more than 50,000 rupees in value be pre-registered online before it can be moved.
According to the preliminary provision, GSTN generate electronic invoices that will be valid for 1 to 20 days, depending on the distance – one day for 100 km, 3 days (100 to less than 300 km), 5 days (300- minus 500 km) and 10 days (500-less than 1000 km).
The information technology platform for the electronic billing system is being developed by the National Computer Center.
Earlier this week, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said it would be mandatory for manufacturers to pass the benefits of the tax reduction after the GST to consumers.
“What if the tax benefits of the inputs are not passed on to consumers? … We meet in a few days from now.
In a short time we will finalize the whole mechanism with regard to the fight against speculation, “he told parliament.
The Council should also take into account the lowest tax rates for garment manufacturing work at 5 percent to 18 percent, a senior official said.
At present, services related to textile yarns – other than synthetic or filamentary fibers – and fabrics attract 5% GST. Other clothing work attracts an 18 percent load.
The official said the council could consider rationing and bring all the work, including cloth clothing, under the slab of 5 percent.
In addition to the review of the GST implementation, the 19th Session of the Council, on Saturday examined the rationalization of the anomalies raised by the industry in a month, said an official, who would not be designated.
This will be the first full meeting of the GST Council, including representatives of the 29 states, following the implementation of the new indirect tax reform on July 1.

Mark Ryden's "Old Tyme" opening
The debut of Mark Ryden’s new show at Paul Kasmin gallery last week was not your typical Chelsea opening. For one, many of the cult artist’s fans came out to see Ryden’s new paintings and works on paper —“The Gay 90′s: Old Tyme Art Show” —dressed in “Old Tyme” 1890s-style garb. (One guest walking on stilts wearing a massive gown made of large replica pieces of meat was truly a sight to behold.) Ryden’s big-eyed, doll-like heroines never lose their impassive expressions, whether they’re lying across on Jesus’s grand piano, purchasing meat from Abraham Lincoln, or wearing a dress made of of raw meat and sausage links.

Private equity firm Boston Ventures this month inked a deal with London-based publisher Reed Elsevier PLC to purchase the Cahners Travel Group for an undisclosed value.
The deal, which is expected to close in early September, will be financed with a combination of senior debt and equity from Boston Ventures Partnership VI. Andy Davis, a director at Boston Ventures, declined to comment on the size of the fund, which he said closed earlier this year.
One financial publication valued the purchase at approximately $70 million. Davis would not comment on the accuracy of that report. Boston Ventures will take a majority stake in the company, while management, led by George Hundley and Scott McIlhenny, will also put up capital and take a minority stake.
The group publishes worldwide destination information for businesses in the travel and hospitality industry including directories such as Hotel Travel Index, Official Hotel Guide, Official Meetings Facilities Guide, International Cruise Guide and Business Travel Planner, and periodicals such as Travel Weekly, Travel Age West and Meetings and Conventions. “I think it’s a very unique opportunity,” said Davis. “These titles are the leading titles in the travel and hospitality industry, and we think with some investment in the company there’s significant growth potential.”
Davis said the company has a proprietary database of hotels, cruises and official meeting facilities that Boston Ventures plan to leverage either through licensing opportunities and/or joint ventures with other parties to do electronic bookings.
Investment bank Allen & Co., based in New York, is representing Reed Elsevier and Cahners in the transaction. Boston Ventures did not retain an adviser.
Since its conception in 1983, Boston Ventures has invested in a number of publishing companies such as American Media, a tabloid publisher; Baetech Publishing, a publisher of computer industry trades; Bill Communications, a business-to-busniess publisher of industry magazines; Billboard Publications, a b-to-b publisher of media/entertainment magazines; CPP/Belwin, a print music publisher; National Law Publishing, a newspaper and magazine publisher for the legal community; and Shore-Varrone, a trade magazine publisher.

London Briefing: Justin King no longer reigns over Sainsbury’s sales growth
Bank of England bucks trend with appointment of Nemat Shafik as deputy to governor Mark Carney
Britain’s J Sainsbury has ended a nine-year run of quarterly sales growth.
If only Justin King had decided to bow out at Sainsbury’s six months earlier.
In his 10 years as chief executive of Britain’s third-largest supermarkets group, he has presided over an unrivalled 36 consecutive quarters of sales growth.
But that record came shuddering to a halt yesterday, as King found himself in the unaccustomed position of having to tell the City sales had fallen.
It seems even Sainsbury’s can no longer resist the pressures that have been taking their toll on rivals such as Tesco and Morrison’s for quite some time.
The market as a whole is growing at its slowest rate since 2005, King said, as he reported a 3.1 per cent fall in underlying sales over the 10 weeks to March 15th. Total sales for the fourth quarter were also lower, falling 1 per cent excluding fuel.
To a certain extent, Sainsbury’s is the victim of its own success – it did so well a year earlier when others were hit by the horsemeat scandal that it was up against some extremely tough comparisons. But the group is also starting to be squeezed by the relentless march of the discount chains, Aldi and Lidl.
Last week, Morrison’s sent shockwaves through the sector when it issued a stark profits warning and pledged it would pour as much as £1 billion into price cuts over the next three years in a head-on battle with the low-cost grocery chains.
The prospect of a damaging price war sent shares tumbling across the sector. But, while King admitted that “the pricing pencil was being sharpened” he played down what the Morrison’s boss Dalton Philips has described as the “brutal reality” of a market enduring its biggest shake-up since the 1950s.
Making it clear that Sainsbury’s will not be pushed into a price war, King pointed out that discounters have been around for decades – Kwik Save in the early eighties, for example – and that Sainsbury’s own brand goods, which account for 51 per cent of sales, are already around a fifth cheaper than branded goods.
It wasn’t all gloom in what was King’s penultimate trading statement before he steps down in July. Sainsbury’s has maintained its market share at 17 per cent and is still regarded by analysts as the strongest of the supermarket chains.
It will take more than a couple of quarterly sales declines in a tough market to seriously damage the group – or tarnish the reputation of its outgoing chief executive. But there’s no doubt that King’s successor, commercial director Mike Coupe, has a far tougher time ahead.
Is Nemat “Minouche” Shafik, being lined up as the first female governor of the Bank of England?
As part of one of the biggest shake-ups in the 320-year history of Britain’s central bank, Shafik has been appointed as a deputy to governor Mark Carney.
The 51-year-old economist certainly has an impressive CV – as deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund, she was already Britain’s highest-ranking official on an international body.
At the age of only 36, she became the youngest ever vice president at the World Bank.
Born in Egypt, Shafik is both a UK and US national. Her appointment helps address the lack of women at the top in the Bank of England, something Carney has said he is determined to change.
She will also sit on the Monetary Policy Committee, ending four years of male-only membership of the interest rate setting team.
Shafik will be one of four deputy governors at the Bank and, as head of markets and banking, one of her specific roles will be to manage the Bank’s eventual exit from its £375 billion quantitative easing programme. She will also help push through Carney’s reforms at Threadneedle Street.
And these reforms will be radical. In a speech last night, Carney said he intended to “create a central bank for the 21st century that combines the finest aspects of our history and traditions with the best of the modern and new.”
Data sets will be opened up to the public and there will be greater engagement with external stakeholders in an effort to improve the Bank’s poor record on forecasting.
The Libor scandal and the unfolding foreign exchange rigging scandal have, the governor said, underlined the need for reform, to ensure markets are “fair, effective and efficient.”
Carney added: “The age of informal responsibilities, nods, winks secrecy and instinct is long past.” So too, by the looks of it, is the era of the Bank of England as a boys’ club.

The tour operator announced they were axing flights between today and Monday after Spain introduced local measures including closing some hotel facilities, local bars, restaurants and beaches.
The news comes after Jet2 also announced all flights to Spain would be cancelled with immediate affect.
In a statement, TUI said: "Following local measures put in place by the Spanish Authorities, including closing some hotel facilities and the local bars, restaurants and beaches we have made the difficult decision to cancel holidays due to travel between 14 and 16 March.
"Although there is currently no advice from the UK Government against travelling to Spain it would not be the holiday experience we would want for our customers.
"We will proactively contact all customers due to travel to Alicante between 14 March and 16 March to offer alternative holiday options or offer a full-refund.
"Any customers due to travel between 17 March and 23 March will be contacted about their holiday on Monday 16 March."
Current advice from the Foreign Office warns Britons not to travel to parts of Spain - including locked-down Madrid - that have been badly hit by the coronavirus outbreak.
TUI also announced all holidays to Cyprus up to and including March 24 have been cancelled.

Rihanna's upcoming album and tour will be sponsored by South Korean electronics giant Samsung for a deal worth $25 million, reports The Post.
Pop star lands $25million deal with Samsung
Rihanna's upcoming album and tour will be sponsored by South Korean electronics giant Samsung for a deal worth $25 million.
Rihanna, known for hit songs such as 'Umbrella' and 'Rude Boy,' is signed to Roc Nation, run by rap mogul Jay Z, who has had a long and profitable relationship with Samsung.
According to reports, the singer's new deal follows seven months of talks and is the biggest music-marketing tie-up in recent memory.
"Hammering out the details took longer than expected in part because Rihanna made some last-minute tweaks to the album," a source said.
The news of Rihanna's juicy deal comes just a day after reports that reps of British star Adele are pushing Apple — and perhaps other companies — for a $30 million commitment to back her upcoming album and an as-yet announced world tour.

Roc Nation and Samsung are yet to make the deal public

Unfortunately, the summertime is not just a time for studios to polish their holiday wares, but also a time for restructuring. According to various sources with GamesIndustry International, EA Phenomic, the developer of Spellforce and Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, has been closed.
Electronic Arts has released a statement regarding the layoffs for the 60-man studio based in Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany:
As part of EA's realignment in recent weeks, we have announced internally a small adjustment to some development staff to better focus our teams against priority growth areas. The decision to let people go is not something we take lightly and we are working to ensure that impacted employees are treated fairly and with respect for their contributions to EA, and with assistance to find other job opportunities.
These are hard but essential changes as we focus on delivering great games and showing players around the world why to spend their time with us.
What this means for EA's future strategy-based and free-to-play titles is uncertain. Let's hope the 60 employees affected by this closing find their way back into the industry soon.

Two BYU-Idaho business students brainstormed what Rexburg needed and came up with a new food truck idea.
When Clarke Jackson and Garett Hunt became roommates a year ago, they discovered they were both business majors. Immediately they decided to open a business together. After winning some money in an Entrepreneurship competition and studying other local food trucks, Waffle Works was born.
Waffle Works features a familiar breakfast food with a twist. They serve waffles on a stick, Belgium waffles, waffle bites, and more. Jackson said their waffles on a stick are their most popular.
"After coming up with waffles we got a little more creative," said Hunt. "We are obviously are kind of known for our waffles on a stick and they have fillings cooked inside of them. It's pretty unique."
There are many options for fillings including chocolate chip, Oreo, cinnamon crème cheese, strawberry and a crowd favorite, Nutella.
"We have a huge variety," said Jackson. "Lots of people love Nutella, so anything with Nutella."
Although waffles are typically a breakfast item, Waffle Works claims they specialize in extremely filling dessert waffles.
"They're thicker, like dough. It's not like that batter type. Those batter type, you can down those things like crazy, Garett and I probably could eat like ten between the two of us," said Jackson. "These are a dough, so it's thicker, it's more like a meal."
Waffle Works is located in front of Splatters War Zone on S 2nd East and are open Monday through Saturday from 3-9 pm. More information can be found on their Facebook page.

The Obama Administration today responded to an online petition by saying that it "agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. " The blog post on WhiteHouse.gov went even further in saying "In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network."
White House senior advisor for Internet, Innovation & Policy David Edelman said it is "common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs."
The petition and White House response was in reaction to a decision by the Librarian of Congress, which originally supported consumers' right to unlock a phone but, last fall issued an order that took effect on January 28th, prohibiting the practice as a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
May take an act of Congress
It's important to note that the Librarian of Congress works for the legislative branch -- not the executive branch, so it is likely that any change in policy would have to come as a result of Congressional legislation. Federal Trade Commission (FCC) chairman Julius Genachowski also issued a statement that the Library of Congress ruling "raises serious competition and innovation concerns, and for wireless consumers, it doesn't pass the common sense test." He said that the FCC "is examining this issue, looking into whether the agency, wireless providers, or others should take action to preserve consumers' ability to unlock their mobile phones" and he is encouraging "Congress to take a close look and consider a legislative solution."
The CTIA, which represents cell phone carriers including including AT&T and Verizon supported the Librarian of Congress's decision. In a blog post, CTIA's Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Mike Altschul, reminded consumes that "The penalties for unlocking a subsidized wireless phone without carrier consent can be severe. Civil penalties are based on the carrier’s actual damages and any additional profits of the violator, or a court can award statutory damages of not less than $200 or more than $2,500 per individual act. "
Altschul added that "Criminal penalties are even more severe: any person convicted of violating section 1201 willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain (1) shall be fined not more than $500,000 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both, for the first offense; and (2) shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both, for any subsequent offense."
Personally I don't think it's likely that anyone would spend five years in jail for unlocking a phone, but I'm not sure I would want to be the one to test that possibility.

A pizza restaurant in Burton is considering reducing in size after struggling to attract customers - less than 18 months after it opened.
Pizza Galore, which took on the former Sheffield Cycles premises in December 2017, could be subdividing its floorspace with "frustrated" bosses claiming they are struggling with footfall.
Co-owners Ged Henson and Tony Wrighton say they are even considering moving out of Burton altogether.
The large restaurant takes up the entire building, on the corner of Station Street and George Street, and can seat 100 diners.
The independent firm currently lets the property from a private landlord who is now marketing the premises, through commercial estate agents Rushton Hickman, on a sub-division basis.
Tony Wrighton claims he is "frustrated" with the situation and is unsure why the business is not attracting the footfall.
He told Burton Live: "The reviews we get are fantastic but we are just not getting the footfall.
"We don't know why as we have been chucking money at it, and are on social media and online, and while it is not losing money, it is not making money.
"It is frustrating.
"We are either going to reduce the restaurant or move out of Burton to Derby or Lichfield.
"We are very disappointed that it hasn't been going as well as we hoped.
"We will continue it and maybe make the premises smaller and see if that works."
Mr Wrighton also added the firm had never been able to solve a long-standing parking issue.
In January 2018, Staffordshire County Council changed its parking restrictions in George Street which neighbours Pizza Galore.
On-street parking had previously been limited to one hour free of charge, but now motorists have to pay to a maximum of four hours, up until 8pm.
It is now 80p for an hour, and £1.60 for two hours, up until 8pm. Campaigners also argued at the time that the rest of the town is free after 3pm.
At the time, the authority said that this is to encourage shoppers to park for longer in a bid to encourage more custom into the town.
Pizza Galore created 20 jobs when it opened up in the former Sheffield Cycles shop.
The cycle store had been a staple of the town for 30 years but fell victim to the rise in online shopping.
The restaurant still provides its famous Marmite-flavoured pizza as a nod to one of the town's most popular exports.
A marketing report by Rushton Hickman says the property can be sub-divided from between 1,000 square feet to 2,000 square feet.
It added that potential uses for the accommodation could include restaurant, retail, office and beauty treatments subject to planning consent where necessary but other uses will also be considered by the landlord.
It is open from 4pm to 10pm Tuesday to Friday, noon to 10pm on Saturdays, and noon to 7pm on Sundays.
Further information is available by visiting the Pizza Galore website.
