Even when the cash misplaced appears massive, the proportion has decreased since 2021 to 51.2% (which was $8,088,338,239). In 2022, the Web3 ecosystem misplaced a complete of $3,948,856,037 (i.e. 3.94 billion) to crypto frauds however now there’s a distinguished lower in it. These stats are nonetheless an enormous safety danger to many organizations who do buying and selling by the Web3 ecosystem. So it’s best for them in the event that they discover a new safety technique for the brand new crypto-threats, or their knowledge can be uncovered to crypto frauds.
Even with all these frauds occurring at Web3, researchers have predicted that the Web3 market goes to develop from $3.2 billion in 2021 to $81.5 billion by 2030. As the worth of the Web3 market will enhance, cybercriminals will discover new and progressive methods for fraud. Reality is that in these massive markets, frauds occurring are inevitable. Web3 has to take steps to lower fraud, even when ceasing them is unattainable. Web2 purposes had been nothing for cybercriminals to hack, however in Web3 every part is way more superior. As Web3 is pretty new to the crypto market, it’s arduous for customers to regulate to it and criminals reap the benefits of this vulnerability. Over time, customers will discover ways to deal with Web3 and the quantity of loss will carry on reducing.

“Getting Involved” Pays Dividends
Sonora, CA — Thanks to a citizen that “got involved” two unidentified teens have been apprehended by Tuolumne County Sheriff´s deputies after stealing thousands of dollars worth of goods from vehicles in the Tuolumne City area August 29-30.
According to Lt. Dan Bressler items taken from a number of unlocked cars included cell phones, I-pods, cash, a GPS unit, a pair of gloves, a set of goggles, a backpack, a snowboarding camera, a car battery charger, video games, a PSP player and a number of other items.
Some of the items were found in the home of the second suspect, a 16 year old who lives on Main Street in Tuolumne City. The first suspect is a 15 year old who resides on Ranier Ct. in the Crystal Falls aea.
One “involved citizen” witnessed the breakin of his vehicle and chased the two before giving up the effort. With that information and additional information from other sources the deputies were able to identify and locate the two youths. Both junveniles have been released to their parents.
Lt. Bressler adds several key reminders: locke your vehicles at night, remove all valuables from your vehicles at night, report a theft immediately, report ANY suspicious activity and don´t be afraid to become “involved.” It´s a great way to serve your community.
Finally, if your child attends Summerville High School and has come home with a cell phone, an I-pod or other items they didn´t purchase themselves, contact the Sheriff´s Office immediately at (209) 533-5815. Those items may have been taken during these thefts.

To photographer and blogger Manou, gender fluid fashion isn’t new to the Indian landscape
For well over a decade, Manou (@wearaboutblog on Instagram) has used his extensive travels to shape his views as a photographer and blogger. He has documented Indian street fashion and has shared cultural commentary from across the country. “Men at fashion weeks were always more liberal with their clothes. Outside of fashion weeks, clothing informed by tradition, culture, comfort and utility has always been fluid. Just the context and the way we are looking at the entire thing seems to have changed,” he says.
He agrees that popular culture definitely plays a role in informing people’s choices. “With time, as more people consume a variety of pop culture via Instagram, Netflix and YouTube, filtered through the algorithms and their own personalised curiosities, there may be a wider acceptance for things such as fashion,” adds this photographer, who has spent the last year at Dharmashala, dabbling in music production. His original tracks are part of ad and fashion campaigns for brands like Fabindia. Sharing with us photos taken over the last five years, he says one can now easily find instances of men being comfortable in fluid fashion across the country, “wherever the internet reaches”.

Kroger is no longer interested in Ringgold, Ga., or anywhere else in the Chattanooga area.
A company spokesman confirmed that the Cincinnati-based grocer had been "tentatively exploring an opportunity to open a new store in Ringgold." Local officials say they had offered as much as $900,000 in incentives, but now everyone says the deal is dead.
"At this time, Kroger has no plans in the Chattanooga market," said Glynn Jenkins, a spokesman in Kroger's Atlanta regional office.
Ringgold Mayor Joe Barger called the decision "unfortunate" but said he had heard the grocery chain was looking elsewhere even before tornadoes devastated the town on April 27.
"The storm couldn't have had any effect because it hadn't happened yet," he said.
In June 2010, city and Catoosa County officials said they were in talks with Kroger to build a store at the corner of Pine Grove Road and Battlefield Parkway in Ringgold.
Officials anticipated Kroger would have added considerable tax revenue to city and county coffers and that residents would have benefited from the new jobs.
In September, Catoosa County offered to fund about $777,000 in drainage and sewer work while Fort Oglethorpe and Ringgold would have paid shares of an additional $127,000. Officials said they were told Kroger was considering a 90,000-square-foot store with 170 employees, but made it clear nothing was ever finalized.
"We've met all of their conditions," Barger said.
Jenkins would not elaborate on what factors went into Kroger's decision, but clarified the company is not breaking any commitments.
"Nothing was final and merely under review and consideration," he said.
Kroger's nearest stores to Chattanooga are in Dalton and Calhoun, Ga. In Tennessee, Kroger operates stores in Tullahoma, Decherd, Crossville and McMinnville as well as several in Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis.
Catoosa County Commissioner Bobby Winters, who represents the area where the store would have been built, said people in Catoosa would be disappointed at the news.
"A lot of us wanted the Kroger," Winters said.
He remained hopeful that Kroger or another big retailer would see things differently when consumer confidence returns.
"It's a bad economy," Winters said. "That's what I'm understanding it's all about."

Call of Duty has become a global institution over the past few years, garnering a huge amount of success and billions of dollars worldwide. Today, NPD Group revealed just how huge Call of Duty has been to the gaming industry over the past ten years.
Game industry journalist and veteran Geoff Keighley reports NPD Group’s top 10 games of the past 10 years include seven Call of Duty titles. While a CoD wasn’t the number one game, it did take up the vast majority of the list.
The top 10 games of the 2010’s, based on dollar sales, included all four Call of Duty: Black Ops games as well as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and Call of Duty: World War II.
The number one game of the past 10 years was Grand Theft Auto V, while Red Dead Redemption II came in at number seven, and Minecraft rounded out the list at 10. Rockstar Games is the only other developer with two titles on the list.
It’s been no secret that Call of Duty has been a huge pop culture phenomenon over the past few years, but the list by NPD is staggering and just goes to show that Call of Duty truly is a juggernaut in the industry.
And it’s shown no signs of slowing—2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare raked in $600 million over the game’s first three days, making it the best-selling CoD of this current console generation, and the best-selling game of all of 2019.

New 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS rips up the Nürburgring
Porsche on Wednesday released photographs of a lightly disguised 718 Cayman GT4 RS lapping the gnarly Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit – the car's final exam before its world premiere in November.
With Porsche development driver Jörg Bergmeister behind the wheel, this ultra-focused sportster whipped around the 20.832km circuit in a mere 7:09.3 minutes. It also completed the shorter 20.6km lap, which had previously served as the benchmark, in 7:04.511 minutes – 23.6 seconds faster than the 718 Cayman GT4.
Optimal traction was ensured by fitting optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres.
“During development, we gave the GT4 RS everything that characterises a genuine RS: lightweight construction, more downforce, more power and an even higher level of responsiveness and feedback to driver inputs,” says Porsche GT department boss, Andreas Preuninger. “The fantastic lap time of the Nordschleife is proof of how clearly noticeable these improvements in driving dynamics are. Our customers can look forward to a pure driver's car that makes a thrilling driving experience an absolute priority.”
“The GT4 RS is an uncompromising driving machine,” says Bergmeister, who has devoted more than 500 hours to the car’s development. “It feels as nimble as a go-kart on mountain roads, yet is stable and well-balanced on the racetrack. Otherwise, such a lap time wouldn’t be possible. The GT4 RS is one of the sharpest cars Porsche has ever developed.”

We’ve all heard plenty about how consumers drive the U.S. economy. They generate two-thirds of economic activity, after all. It turns out that manufacturers of big industrial equipment are aware of this fact. So, when consumer spending nosedived in 2008 and 2009, heavy-duty equipment makers ran for safety by warehousing inventory, laying off workers, and postponing repairs, upgrades, and purchases.
Recovery is now well under way among industrial companies, maintains Morningstar stock analyst Daniel Holland. He reports that although consumer demand remains tepid, there’s been an increase in corporate demand for generators, pumps, and other heavy gear. The machines that companies use to make everything from fast food to factory parts need servicing or replacement. As a result, industrial equipment revenues have begun to rebound. Equipment makers are also running leaner operations, so revenue gains are having a greater effect on profits.
Holland, who holds an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago, analyzes diversified industrial and electrical equipment companies for Morningstar; he formerly worked in the finance departments of global health service organization Cigna and leading consulting firm Hewitt Associates.
So you’re still bullish on industrial companies. Why?
Even while things have cooled off on the consumer side, manufacturers took the slowdown a step further in 2008 and 2009 by cutting off all types of capital spending. That meant they were not repairing equipment, not building new structures, not fixing what they had. When consumer spending came back at the beginning of this year, demand for new goods triggered demand for new equipment. Manufacturers fired up their old machines and found that a lot had broken down or needed maintenance. Capital spending picked up since a lot of companies have tightened their belts and amassed cash balances to maintain a set level of spending. Even in the face of some concern about the economy’s direction, there’s enough money out there to keep equipment expenditures steady.
How about industrial equipment makers? Did they get leaner too?
Yes. They’ve strengthened their balance sheets, particularly in comparison to the months preceding the recession. Several companies are operating at peak margins, in some cases the best in history. I didn’t expect this sector to come back so soon–but from second quarter results, it’s clear that the group has more flexibility and is in solid shape for the long term.
Tell us more about the rebound.
The group has taken restructuring charges and in turn gone a long way to cut cost structures, trim payroll, and cut back on excess. Now that demand is coming back, higher revenues are coming in on higher margins and boosting the bottom line. A lot of major companies have seen operating margins climb 2.5 to 3 percentage points higher than they did last year, which is phenomenal. Emerson, for instance, reported that it had 18% profit margins on its businesses compared with 14.7% last year–in general terms, the leap and the new level are unheard of. That may be an extreme example but not too incredible. Siemens, Honeywell, Phillips Group have all pulled out costs and reaped higher profits on their product lines.
How much do emerging markets play into the story?
China and India are certainly factors. Industrial manufacturers first ventured overseas to take advantage of lower [production] costs and then ship output to the U.S. or Western Europe. Now that China, India, and other economies have more income, emerging markets are becoming major customers in their own right. For folks like Emerson, GE, or Honeywell, sizeable operations in China or India can now be leveraged to fuel growth.
What sets companies in your sector apart from the run-of-the-mill?
Well, the linchpin of Morningstar’s methodology is return on invested capital, or just how much money a company makes on funds collected from shareholders or bondholders. Call it return on capital or return on assets, it presents a clear picture of whether or not a company is bringing in a reasonable return for the money it spends. As a rule of thumb, we set the bar for the cost of raising capital at 10%, so a return above 10% definitely makes a company more attractive. It’s a bit difficult to pinpoint just how high returns should be. They vary from company to company since the cost of borrowing is different in each case. Another important yardstick is cash flow, or more specifically, free cash flow relative to sales. Think of it as a measure of the dollars brought in after costs. That number tells us volumes about the health of a company’s operations and just how well management has a grasp on balancing capital inflows and expenditures.
What are your favorites in the sector?
Start with General Electric (GE). For a couple of years, there’s been something of a stigma around GE Capital, the company’s finance arm. There have been questions about its overall financial health and whether it might be a drag on GE’s earnings. It’s now boosting earnings. On the industrial side, GE’s healthcare business has developed one of the strongest product portfolios it’s seen in a long time. There’s a cash flow story at work, too: We expect the company to have $25 billion in cash on its books once GE completes the sale of NBC Universal [to Comcast]. However, I think the market hasn’t yet come to appreciate GE’s story.
We hear a lot about green markets and processes. Are there any green opportunities in industrial shares?
Honeywell (HON) fits that description. In a nutshell, it’s positioned to profit from our society’s increased energy efficiency awareness. Honeywell is a big player in the market for products that promote lower energy consumption, including thermostats. It also makes controls that monitor lighting, and it’s behind a turbo diesel product that controls fuel consumption for diesel-powered cars that’s a big seller in Europe.
And a third idea to round out your list?
That’s Parker Hannifin (PH), a company whose products are inside almost every manufacturing facility around. Parker Hannifin makes valves and fittings in hydraulic hoses. You might think of the company as a manufacturer of motion facilitating machines. If you can think of a process that requires the movement of fluids, there’s probably a Parker Hannifin product involved. There’s Parker Hannifin equipment in McDonald’s smoothie dispensers. The company is a textbook case in profit margin expansion. It’s gone from 3% margins in 2002 to 12% in 2008. Now, as manufacturing facilities come back on line, companies are going to notice the basic wear and tear on items they had delayed replacing. That’s a golden opportunity for Parker Hannifin.

KNOXVILLE, Tennessee (WVLT) – Laptops, phones, and smart TVs are in high demand during the holidays, which means more and more of our devices are connected. The more devices you have, the more likely it is that your information will fall into the wrong hands. So how do you stay safe on the internet?
Bridgitte Mase of Boston Government Solutions of Oak Ridge spoke to WVLT News about simple things you can do to keep your information safe.
Around the holidays, says Bridgitte, phishing scams become more common. Phishing is when hackers attack your information through email and online advertisements.
“We saw a lot of ransomware this year in particular, and it seems to be increasing quite a bit,” said Mase, vice president of Cyber & Technology Solutions at Boston Government Solutions.
Bridgitte gave us five ways to easily protect your data without breaking the bank.
1. Use multi-factor authentication.
With multi-factor authentication, you need to use two or more pieces of evidence to verify your identity. “It’s pretty much everywhere,” said Mase. “So you can set up multi-factor authentication for every account you use.”
2. Do not use the same password for multiple accounts.
“A lot of people use the same password for absolutely every account,” said Mase. “If you get hacked in one place, you suddenly know what you are doing elsewhere and that compromises all of your data.
Mase also suggests using a password manager program that will make it easier not to forget all of your different passwords.
3. Check your privacy settings.
4. Keep your software up to date.
According to Mase, this is one of the most important steps. She said that for the most part, people have the right antivirus software, but they don’t update it often, making it easy for hackers to access as they introduce new scams and bugs.
5. Scan your computer at least once a day.
While you can scan your computer for viruses every now and then, according to Mase, it’s important to do so on a daily basis.
“Make sure your virus scanner software scans every time you log in, at least once a day,” said Mase.
But what about the actual software you need to keep these cyberattacks at bay? Mase said Windows users could benefit from Windows Defender, the free software preinstalled on new Microsoft Windows computers and devices.
“On top of that, if you’re looking to add an extra product, products like Malwarebytes work very well with other products that your computer may already be running,” said Mase. “So if you want to run Defender and Malwarebytes together, you have double protection and you won’t cause any problems if the two don’t work together.”
Mase warns the public to research any antivirus software add-on. Some software is incompatible with programs like Windows Defender and, if used improperly, can even do more harm than good.

In 2019 the government consulted on restricting advertising of High Fat, Sugar and salt foods (HFSS) for TV and online in its attempt to combat obesity, which it claims is one of the greatest long-term health challenges the country faces.
It asked for views on whether to extend current advertising restrictions on broadcast TV and online media, including consulting on watershed restrictions. In July 2020 the government confirmed its intention to introduce a 9pm watershed on TV.
A new consultation announced today goes further and looks at how a total HFSS advertising restriction could be implemented online. The consultation will ask questions on what types of advertising will be restricted; who will be liable for compliance; and the enforcement of the restrictions
Public health campaigners welcomed the plans. Professor Graham MacGregor, Chair of Action on Sugar said: “It gives the opportunity for ministers to hear from the many parents who are frustrated with their children being bombarded with advertising for unhealthy foods.”
He added that UK lockdowns in response to COVID-19 have ‘vastly increased children’s exposure to such irresponsible marketing which casts unhealthy products in the spotlight'.
“It’s therefore vital that a total ban across all online platforms is introduced which would ensure that all loopholes, including paid-for promotions whereby brands are using marketing techniques to push junk food ads, would be firmly closed and help turn the tide on obesity,” he said.
Dr Saul Konviser of the Dental Wellness Trust agreed that a total online ban on promotions and advertising of HFSS food and drink products would help combat tooth decay.
"As the latest figures by the Local Government Association show, nearly 45,000 hospital operations were performed to remove rotten teeth in 2018/19 which is a stark reminder that too much sugar, especially in children's diets, can have dire consequences,” he said. “And what’s most concerning is this is all entirely preventable."
Short consultancy time ‘beggars belief’
But the Food and Drink Federation said it 'beggars belief' that the industry had only been given six weeks to respond.
The FDF’s head of UK diet and health policy Kate Halliwell said: “The length of the consultation potentially hampers the industry’s ability to respond effectively at a time when businesses are facing enormous pressure.
“It could not come at a worse time for food and drink manufacturers – the industry is preparing for its busiest time of the year and working flat out to keep the nation fed through lockdown, all while facing down the very real threat of a no-deal Brexit.”
In a joint statement, the leaders of the Advertising Association, the Incorporated Society of British Advertisers, the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising and the Internet Advertising Bureau UK said obesity is ‘rightly recognised’ by the public and by health experts as a ‘complex problem’ - but one for which there is ‘no single answer’.
“The proposal to completely outlaw online advertising of certain food and drink is a severe and disproportionate measure that goes far beyond the Government’s objective of protecting children,” they said.
The organisations called the move 'heavy-handed' and urged ministers to engage with the industry. “This consultation has landed just as we have entered another period of lockdown, with all the heightened uncertainty this creates for people and businesses right across the country,” they continued.
“To borrow the Prime Minister’s language, this is not an ‘oven ready’ policy; it is not even half-baked. But it does have all the ingredients of a kick in the teeth for our industry from a Government which we believed was interested in prioritising economic growth alongside targeted interventions to support health and wellbeing.”
IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics Christopher Snowdon took aim at the number of products potentially affected by the plans.
“The government is proposing a total ban on all internet advertising for a huge range of perfectly normal food and drink products. It will cover everything from jam and yoghurt to Cornish pasties and mustard, and will include all forms of online advertising, including paid-for search engine listings, emails and even text messages - at any time day or night,” he said.
"No country in the world has attempted anything like this and with good reason. It will permanently exclude businesses large and small from the primary marketing medium of our time. It is an ill-considered policy designed by fanatics who have mis-sold it to politicians as a ban on ‘junk food’ advertising. It will be hugely damaging to food producers, especially small businesses and start-up companies, and will have no impact on obesity. No one has ever been harmed by an advert for a pork pie.”

The trade war between the US and China has escalated once more with the US imposing a new 15% tariff on $300bn of Chinese consumer goods starting on 1st September.
Over the past year, the world’s two largest economies have imposed tariffs on billions of dollars worth of one another’s goods. Mr Trump believes that tariffs will correct the imbalance in the US trade deficit and protect American jobs.
Negotiations between the two superpowers have been ongoing but have proven difficult. While there have been some conciliatory gestures from both sides this week, US and China have not brought a resolution to their trade row much closer.
How do the new tariffs differ from previous tariffs?
It is American shoppers who will be hit the hardest by these new tariffs. Unlike previous rounds where the manufacturing sector bore the brunt of the impact, the fresh tariffs have been imposed on imports such as shoes, clothes, nappies and food. Smaller electronics such as smart speakers and Bluetooth headphones have also been taxed. Many retailers say they will have little choice but to pass on the cost to consumers.
In response, Beijing has begun to introduce measures targeting $75bn worth of US goods. The measures include a 5% tariff on US crude oil, the first time fuel has been hit in the trade battle between the world’s two largest economies.
In October, the US plans to raise an existing 25% tariff on some Chinese products to 30%. Washington then plans to deliver a wave of new tariffs on Chinese goods, ranging from footwear to smartphones, on 15 December, unless a breakthrough is reached. On the same date, China will roll out tariffs on around 3,000 more US products.
The original increase was planned for 1 October, however this week Mr Trump has said the 5% increase to duties will be postponed for two weeks as a “gesture of goodwill”. China has also released a list of 16 US imports that will be exempted from tariffs including animal feed and anti-cancer drugs.
The next round of tariffs on more clothes and big-ticket items like laptops and iPhones due in December is intended to help protect spending during the Christmas period.
By the end of the year, tariffs will be in place on almost all goods that the US buys every year from China. Analysts are predicting that this could add an additional $800 to the average US household’s annual spend.
What are the likely repercussions?
The tariffs already imposed and the uncertainty over the future of global trade caused by the dispute have prompted weaker economic conditions well beyond the US and China.
The trade war has weighed on the global economy over the past year and created uncertainty. Demand for global air cargo, an indicator of economic activity, has contracted over the last 9 months, according to data published recently by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This decline has been directly attributed to the trade war and resulting uncertain global markets.
A key question will be whether the new tariffs scheduled for later this year will trigger a resumption of the front-loading of freight from China to the US that boosted markets in 2018?
As well as there being a big shock to the US economy, China and the US being the world’s biggest economies inevitably has had an impact beyond their borders. The concern created has resulted in more European companies operating in China considering relocating to Southeast Asia to avoid getting caught in the trade war crossfire.
What is expected is that without a clear way forward during an intensifying 2020 US presidential election, we see a rising risk that tariffs will remain in effect until the end of 2020. There is little sign that Mr Trump has any appetite to back down – despite the negative effects on the US economy – ahead of the 2020 election campaign.
How PFE Can help
The impact of the trade war may be far reaching, we will work with any of our customers affected to ensure the impact is clearly communicated.
If you are considering new manufacturing opportunities, PFE offers Sea Freight services from the whole of the Southeast Asian region including Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

PRAGUE -- Trade unions at Skoda plants in the Czech Republic rejected a wage offer from the carmaker and started preparations for a possible extended strike.
Details of the offer have not been disclosed but the unions said it was just enough to cover the country's inflation rate of just over 2 percent - conditional on workers agreeing to a changed pattern of shifts.
"The employer's wage growth offer is a zero at the moment, because the ridiculous initial proposals by the company were based on introducing an atypical shift system," the unions said in a statement on Thursday.
A Skoda spokesman declined to comment on the negotiations. Skoda's board will discuss the situation on Feb. 19.
Skoda has become parent Volkswagen Group's second-most profitable brand in terms of operating margin. It reported another record year in 2017 with global sales up 6.6 percent to 1.2 million vehicles.
Skoda's Czech plants accounted for 60.7 percent of the country's car production in 2017, followed by Hyundai and a joint plant of Toyota and PSA Group. Skoda cars are also built in VW Group plants in China, India and Russia.

Sony Now Predicts a $1.1 Billion Loss, Shuts Down PC Business The struggling Japanese electronics maker is undergoing a costly restructuring.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
Sony is shuttering its computer business, refocusing its TV division on high-end units and laying off 5,000 people. It is also predicting a massive loss of 110 billion yen, or $1.1 billion, for the fiscal year, a drastic change from its prediction three months ago of a 30-billion yen profit ($294 million).
There was a time, long ago, when it looked as if Japanese electronics companies -- and foremost among them Sony -- would take over the world. But no longer. Apple and Samsung dominate the consumer market for tablets and smartphones, and Sony is now being forced to undergo costly restructuring to survive.
Sony's TV business has long been a loser. It has cost the electronics giant $7.8 billion over the past decade, according to Reuters. Sony plans to spin it off into a subsidiary company by July of this year, hoping to streamline processes and return it to profitability by the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.
To some observers, this move could look like preparation for disposing of the TV division altogether. But Sony chief Kazuo Hirai told reporters in Tokyo that "we have absolutely no plan" to sell off the TV business, according to Reuters. The way forward, Hirai thinks, lies in high-end models, especially ultra-high-definition 4K TVs, which have yet to go mainstream.

Sony will be posting a net loss for the fifth time in six years. As part of restructuring, the Japanese electronics maker will let go more than 3 percent of its global work force by March 2015. The company expects the layoffs to save 100 billion yen, or $1 billion, in annual costs. As of September 2013, Sony had 145,800 employees.
Sony's computer business is also a goner. After spring 2014, when its final lineup of personal computers will launch, Sony will stop manufacturing and selling computers. Its PC business will be sold to Japan Industrial Partners, an investment fund, and about 250 to 300 Sony employees will move to the new company which the fund will set up to manage the PC business.
Even Sony's successes are somewhat muted. Its Playstation 4 gaming console is on pace to beat sales expectations of 5 million units by the end of March. But this latest iteration of the popular Playstation was so expensive to develop that it will take two years to break even on the console, Sony said.
One Sony division is performing admirably, however. The financial services unit did so well in the fiscal quarter from October to December 2013 that Sony managed to post an operating profit of more than 90 billion yen, nearly twice the previous year's amount.

Video: 2013 Shelby GT500 underrated, dyno tests at 609 rwhp
When Ford announced the 2013 Shelby GT500 back in November the new aluminum block 5.8-liter V8 was initially rated at an astounding 650 horsepower. As if that weren’t enough, Ford updated the rating last month to 662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft torque. However, it looks like those numbers aren’t necessarily a true reflection of the new GT500’s horsepower rating, as recently found out by Steve Turner, editor-in-chief of 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords magazine, at the press launch for the car last week.
In between laps at Road Atlanta and making passes at Atlanta Dragway, Turner managed to sneak one of the cars away for a quick dyno test and found that the 2013 Shelby GT500 put out an astounding 609 rear wheel horsepower. Factor in a fifteen percent drivetrain loss and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 is producing closer to 715 horsepower at the crank. Even with a conservative ten percent drivetrain loss figured in, the Shelby would still be putting out over 675 horsepower, well over the official rating.

Drone technology is truly an amazing thing as we look ahead to a world filled with small flying robots doing everything from delivering our packages to leading dangerous search-and-rescue operations to providing unimagined aspects of recreational photography, but the oldest commercial drone manufacturer in North America wants to take it a step further by allowing drones to monitor how well we’re adhering to COVID-19 restrictions.
Draganfly CEO Cameron Chell has been pushing for his drone company to lead the charge on monitoring the spread of the COVID-19 virus since February, but he’s recently added some interesting tidbits that seem to go beyond simple temperature readings.
Advancements have been made during the pandemic. We have “pandemic drones” used to detect symptoms of #COVID19. @DraganflyInc, the oldest commercial drone manufacturer in North America is behind this new #drone tech. https://t.co/RL9yLiAg52 @EMILYWBOY from @WBOY12News
— Cameron Chell (@CameronChell) August 13, 2020
“The technology can also measure social distancing, and it can also measure mask wearing,” Chell said. “So, from a public policy standpoint, you can say, ‘hey how effective is our communication in terms of wearing masks, and are we practicing social distancing.’”
What’s interesting about this is that Chell remarked in a pre-COVID interview with FOX Business that the data collection from drones can be worrisome. Oh, but not his drones. He’s only talking about Chinese drones.
“The issue is actually Chinese policy, it’s not the companies themselves,” Chell told FOX’s Charles Payne. “What the American government and the Northern American, and, quite frankly, NATO governments are worried about are the policies that the Chinese sovereign government has in place in order to be able to capture the data that are on these drones.”
He goes on to add something that should probably scare us all: “A drone will collect more data than any other type of device over there, and it will collect a different type of data.”
So what are your thoughts on drone companies monitoring our behavior? Is this for the greater good and a solution to stopping the spread of the corona virus or is it in the realm of some 1984-level craziness?

With 2019 ramping up, expect new trends throughout the news, social media, technology and more. At APEX and ruckus digital we will be sharing our predictions on some of these trends that we think will define 2019 (or at least part of it).
Kristina Mikhalkova, coordinator at APEX PR, shares her view on what’s next for the beauty industry.
There’s a glow up in store for the beauty industry this year, it could even be the biggest year yet for the industry. Many experts say beauty is in the “golden era.” In fact, it is growing so fast, it’s predicted that the entire industry will make around $15.8 billion in annual sales by 2021. Here are three things you’ll see A LOT more of this year:
What is CBD anyways?
The beauty industry is now embracing CBD as a staple and people are wondering why. CBD is a cannabis compound that has a significant amount of medical benefits, and since cannabis became legal in Canada in 2018, why not add more of it to our beauty. Retailers including Sephora are introducing entire sections for CBD beauty!
In 2018, CBD was a category that quickly grew from ingestibles and balms to full-on beauty products. In 2019 you can expect brands new and old to be exploring this space on a much greater scale.
Products to become more inclusive.
It seems like the beauty industry seems to have neglected those with different skin tones and colours.
Fenty Beauty on the other hand has done a great job of allowing for more inclusivity when it comes to makeup. From foundation, to their newly released concealers, they have become a staple for offering a wide range of products for various skin colours.

FAST food giant Burger King has launched its own "precautionary" investigation into the horse meat scandal.
Burger King has been identified as one of the companies which regularly receives meat products from ABP/Silvercrest -- the company at the centre of the controversy.
The fast-food giant has reassured consumers that its burgers are not affected but has launched its own separate probe.
Silvercrest in Monaghan has decided to temporarily suspend production at its factory with immediate effect.
The move came after new test results found that nine out of a sample of 13 burgers showed the presence of horse DNA.
ABP/Silvercrest supplies Burger King in the UK but it also reassured consumers that the particular burger products supplied to the fast food outlets were not affected as they were on separate supply lines.
The meat product company emphasised that Burger King products have not been affected by the contamination.
"Whilst, we are temporarily closing down the entire plant for purposes of expediency, we would like to reiterate that all Burger King products produced by us are stored separately and manufactured on an independent line," it said. "There is no evidence of any contamination of raw material used for the manufacture of any Burger King products."
The company also said that it was confident that the burgers supplied to Irish and UK restaurants are not affected.
"The reported source of the raw materials contamination originated at two suppliers in Continental Europe," a statement said.
"Burger King restaurants in the UK and Ireland do not use beef from Continental Europe or from these suppliers.
"Burger King burgers in the UK and Ireland are made from 100pc British and Irish beef, with no fillers or other binders added and are made on a dedicated and separate production line."
However, the company added that it has embarked on its own investigation.
"Food quality is a top priority for Burger King Worldwide. As part of its comprehensive food quality programme, the company maintains stringent and overlapping controls and audits to oversee our suppliers," it said.
"As a standard precautionary measure, we have launched a complete investigation into this matter." A representative for rival burger chain McDonald's said its supply chain has been checked and it is not affected.
Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney said they are making "good progress on the investigation" in identifying the source of the problem.
"I think the test results yesterday were helpful in those areas," he said. "It's not a big surprise that nine out of 13 burgers proved positive for some horse DNA elements yesterday."

Many Slovakian growers are restricting or completely stopping tomato production during the winter. High energy prices have forced them to shut down the heating required for greenhouse cultivation during the winter. The biggest resultant shortages are expected at the beginning of next year. To cover their expenses, farmers would have had to double the price per kilogram.
In previous winter seasons, one in three tomatoes sold in Slovakia was grown domestically. Now, given the steep rise in energy bills, the Slovak Agriculture and Food Chamber (SPPK) expects the prices of all vegetables, including tomatoes, to increase by 20 to 30 percent. Last year, heating expenses for agricultural greenhouses were €60,000 per hectare; this year, they are expected to reach €400,000 per hectare.
If energy prices don't drop, local farmers will start planting tomatoes in the spring and will harvest the first crop in May. There is potential for a summer repeat of the scenario witnessed earlier this year when a sudden large surplus on the market caused prices to drop sharply.

The head of EA Sports, Peter Moore, expects the upcoming version of FIFA to achieve an average review rating of 90 per cent.
In an interview with IncGamers, line producer David Rutter talked about the pressure of improving on last year’s FIFA 09.
“All I hear every time I go anywhere is Peter Moore saying ‘I expect you to hit 90 (per cent, average review rating),’” said Rutter “which is a little bit scary but I think we’re gonna do it.”
“The last game scored, I think, 87 and the interesting thing is that little three per cent is very hard to get,” he added.
Rutter stressed that the improvement would not come through radical redesign but from understanding “the nuances of the game and how they fit together.”
“I’m lucky enough to work in an environment which lives and breathes on pressure,” said Rutter.
“So every day when I go into work, everyone knows what’s expected of them as far as delivery is concerned and game quality in particular.”
Stay tuned for the full interview later this week.

Nothing speaks more about trust and reliability than a public company: EaseMyTrip Co-Founder
In an exclusive interaction with ETTravelWorld, Prashant Pitti, Co-Founder and Executive Director, EaseMyTrip, talks about the IPO launch this year and what are the ways in which his company is working proactively to cater to the pent-up travel demand that they foresee once the vaccination drive in the country picks up.
Postponing its initial public offering from last year, Easy Trip Planners finally made its stock market debut in March this year. But as destinations started banning flights originating from India and the various states within the country went into lockdown mode, the IPO launch may have seemed ill timed. However, Prashant Pitti, Co-Founder and Executive Director, EaseMyTrip, says the launch served to showcase the trust that the brand has established among its consumers. And now as the vaccination drive in the country is set to amplify in the coming months, the company is also bracing itself to cater to the pent-up travel demand. Excerpts from an interview:
ETTravelWorld (ETTW): Launching an IPO at a time like this may have been an ambitious move, do you think your efforts have paid off?
Prashant Pitti (PP): In December of 2020, we witnessed a 76 percent rise in our numbers, touching pre-Covid levels, and we thought it was a good opportunity to make our stock market debut. Despite the pandemic, we made our stock market debut on March 8, 2021, by leveraging our lean-cost model and no convenience fee strategy. The company has been profitable since inception, and we felt that it was a good fit for the IPO. By launching an IPO, our central objective was to make EaseMyTrip a known name in the Indian market and build trust in the minds of people. We have never been a marketing heavy company, and we knew that nothing speaks more about trust and reliability than a public company. We believe that we have been able to achieve our objective as we received a subscription of approximately 160 times during our IPO bidding window. Through the IPO, the people of India have come to know about EaseMyTrip.com, and they have showcased their trust in our brand. Another objective was to generate wealth for our investors who have trusted in our company and that too is visible in the market currently.
ETTW: The IPO launch has been a success, but travel is yet to take off. Do you have a timeline in mind for domestic travel to take off in the country, considering international travel will take longer than anticipated?
PP: We expect domestic tourism to take off as soon as the number of cases reduces significantly in the country. With the fear of the virus reducing amongst people, they will start to venture out of their homes to explore new places and take a break which has been due for a long time. We expect a huge pent-up demand for holidays and weekend getaways following the reduction in Covid cases. To cater to this demand and serve our customers with the best services, our teams are already working on creating various customised packages that can cater to customer preferences. We expect that there will be a significant demand for unexplored domestic destinations from travellers.
ETTW: With your teams working on customised packages, you must have witnessed some new travel trends during the period from October 2020-March 2021 when some amount of international travel and a large part of domestic travel had taken off. What would some of those trends be?
PP: Travel in the post Covid era is set to be redefined by new travel trends majorly revolving around safety and technology. Airports, hotels, airlines, and other segments in the tourism sector have been constantly ramping up their security measures and following every possible safety protocol. Now, there has been an increased emphasis on safety and sanitisation within the travel industry and enhanced health screenings have become the new normal across all travel segments. Enhanced security and safety measures have been introduced across the industry - right from using face shields and regular sanitisations to minimizing physical contact. Customers prefer cashless payment and now even bus and cabs operators are going the online payment route. Mobile apps such as ours will also play a crucial role in providing updates related to travel restrictions. Many countries have also made travel insurance compulsory. Domestic travel will be a preference for a majority of travellers in the near future. Once lockdowns are eased, there will also be an increase in road travel as people will initially travel to nearby destinations for a quick break or a weekend getaway. The demand for unique, unexplored domestic destinations is set to shoot up and a lot more unheard domestic destinations will come to the fore. Airlines might also look at increasing their routes across small cities as a result of this. There has been a significant shift in the mindset of travellers towards health and hygiene.
ETTW: With talks of revenge travel and pent-up demand doing the rounds. Do you anticipate travel to take off in a big way once a significant proportion of the population is vaccinated or do you think people would still exercise caution and stay home?
PP: As the vaccination drive in the country is set to amplify in the coming months, the travel industry is bracing itself to cater to the pent-up travel demand, and we are expecting the sector to bounce back once at least 30 per cent of the Indian population is vaccinated. There is huge pent-up demand for travel and tourism, and the sector will be the biggest beneficiary after vaccination picks up in India. The fear of moving out will gradually decline once people are vaccinated. Airlines, airports, hotels, and others in the travel sector have undergone a vast change since Covid-19, as they are following all safety protocols to ensure the safety of travellers. Once people are fully vaccinated, they may travel worry-free while taking all the precautions in public places.
ETTW: How are you as an OTA working to cater to this demand?
PP: We are working proactively to cater to the increased demand that we foresee. We have partnered with many airlines and hotels to ensure safety and hygiene for our customers. These hotels are implementing several procedures to ensure the safety of their guests. Deep cleaning, disinfecting the rooms, maintaining social distancing, and other several procedures are being taken care of by these hotels. Additionally, we are preparing customised packages for our customers that shall cater to the new normal in the travel industry. We shall offer customers with personalised experiences based on their preferences.
ETTW: How do you see the role of travel agents being redefined in this post-Covid world?
PP: The role of travel agents will be completely redefined in the post Covid world. Travel agents will now make the majority of their earnings from holiday bookings where they will be guiding customers on making their travel easier and more enjoyable. There might be a reduction in the number of people that reach out to travel agents for airline tickets, however, a significant number of travellers who may hesitate to travel again may look for professional travel advisors to provide relevant guidance. Travel agents will also have to recreate their itinerary to avoid crowded places or public transportation. More and more travel agents may also opt for online payment options to reduce any physical contact. This will also make the booking process easier and safer.

Cassandra Millines has gone through the expensive hassle of getting her son Darius ready for his senior prom.
The young man, who now plays football at Illinois University, celebrated the end of high school less than two years ago, and his mother experienced first hand the cost of the event.
"I know the expense," said Millines, program chairwoman for the School of Cosmetology at Florida Career College, 1743 N. Congress Ave., in Boynton Beach.
To help high school seniors look their best at lowered prices, the college's spa is pampering them with special prom packages.
"With economy the way it is, we [FCC] want to assist parents like myself, with graduating students going to prom, to motivate the students to take the next step," Millines said.
She said some of the packages are as much as half off the original price.
The Platinum Package, for example, is $55 and includes a manicure-pedicure, facial treatment, single-color hair process, haircut and style.
Other packages like the Silver are only $20 and also include multiple features.
The college's graduating seniors who administer the packages are supervised by an instructor.
Eduardo Sama, FCC Boynton Beach associate executive director, said the packages help the college students as much as the graduating high-schoolers celebrating prom.
"It is all about giving our students hands-on experience with supervision, of course," he said. "At the same time, we want to be part of the community."
Sama called the packages a win-win and said the college wants to be open to the community and help out where possible.
"This community is really embracing our cosmetology college," he said.
He said since last October the spa was originally open twice a week but when the students reached a more advanced level last January, they opened six days a week.
The spa is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday; and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
To make an appointment, call 877-250-6772.

Homeowners Itching for a Color Change
Bored with the color and eager to upgrade, one in 10 Americans plans to paint their home’s exterior this year, a new survey finds.
Consumer Reports’ National Research Center found that most of those planning a makeover said they had grown tired of their current paint job.
Nearly half, however, said they were planning to paint in order to boost their home’s resale value.
Among the most popular paint color schemes are light brown with cream trim and hunter green shutters and Mediterranean yellow with white trim, according to Consumer Reports.
Neutrals with “staying power,” such as earth tones, grays, whites and blacks, are also recommended for the exterior, the survey found.
Colors to Avoid
Exterior shades that were “best to avoid” included bold reds and yellows (with the exception of front doors and trim); pinks and purples; and colors that mimic or clash with houses next door.
Reds and yellows are best left to the hot-dog stands, the organization reported.
Pinks and purples tend to highlight dirt, upset neighbors, and send prospective buyers running in the other direction, Consumer Reports said.
About Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports is the world’s largest independent product-testing organization. Using its more than 50 labs, auto test center, and survey research center, the non-profit rates thousands of products and services annually.
Each year, the organization evaluates and ranks paints. Rankings for 2014 are reported in “2 House Brands Top Paint Rankings.”

Supply chain disruptions
Due to lock-downs, border closures, restrictions on the movement of people and goods, and other preventative measures – many businesses are struggling to get the parts, materials and products they need to keep their businesses running.
Close to half (48.80%) of our webinar attendees said the COVID-19 pandemic has been “very disruptive” to their supply chains, while 41.50% said it has been “somewhat disruptive”.
This comes at a time when increased protectionism was already having an impact on trade flows and supply chain management. We discovered that 63.50% had already anticipated an increase in the nationalization of supply chains, before the crisis delivered a greater blow.
Lack of visibility is a pressing challenge
When asked what factors have had the greatest impact on their supply chains since the virus outbreak began, a third (33.30%) cited a lack of visibility of events and possible alternatives; 26.70% said a shortfall of suppliers was a critical issue; and 23.30% pointed to border closures.
In order to understand the nature of these challenges better and mitigate them as far as possible, supply chain visibility is crucial. Right now, organizations need to understand the impact that the COVID-19 fallout is having on their supply chains, so that they can develop alternative routes sooner rather than later.
Business continuity plans of dealing with one-off events
While it is incredibly challenging to prepare for a global pandemic, the speed and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak has underscored the importance of robust business continuity planning going forward, with regular stress testing.
Three quarters (75.30%) of our survey respondents said their businesses had not been prepared to meet unforeseen circumstances on the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On a more positive note, 33.30% said their businesses did have sound strategies in place to mitigate COVID-19 related supply disruptions and that these are “going according to plan”, while a further 43.60% are now in the process of developing crisis response plans.
The majority will use technology to optimize supply chains going forward
Given how unpredictable the situation is, no business can plan for full immunity from the ongoing impact of the current crisis. However, modern digital technology can facilitate a proactive and strategic response to current and future supply chain disruptions.
Any company that has not already invested in adequate technology to support business continuity will need to rethink its approach. Modern trade management solutions allow employees and supply chain partners to communicate and collaborate remotely, reduce risk and manual effort through automation, and crunch data more efficiently to accelerate decision-making.
Encouragingly, 83.75% of our survey respondents say they see their businesses turning towards technology to improve supply chain visibility and manage future disruptions effectively.
The journey ahead
Uncertainty will be the new normal for the remainder of this year and potentially longer. It is therefore critical for all businesses involved in trade to ensure they have the processes and systems in place that support virtual ways of working, increased agility and clear visibility along the supply chain. With the right tools in place, businesses will be better positioned to rebuild their supply chains and increase business resilience in the years to come.

Meager Pay Growth Adds to Reasons to Expect U.K. Consumer Squeeze
U.K. consumers are going to be squeezed this year, according to the people who pay their wages.
While inflation is fast accelerating thanks to higher fuel prices and a weaker pound, pay growth is dwindling. According to an annual survey published by the Bank of England, the average pay settlement will drop to 2.2 percent this year from 2.7 percent in 2016. In addition, the number of awards between 3 and 4 percent is "expected to fall significantly."
The annual survey by the BOE's regional agents across the U.K. — running for almost two decades — covered 341 companies employing more than half a million people. In summary:
"Settlements were expected to moderate in all sectors, with the largest decline anticipated in consumer services."
In its Inflation Report this month, the BOE forecast that inflation will accelerate through 2017 and peak at close to 3 percent in the first half of 2018.
It also projected annual average earnings growth of 3 percent and 3.25 percent this year and next, which would allow for some — albeit very modest — real income growth. But the pay survey suggests different, with real incomes falling again starting this year.

The United Nations' Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) said on Tuesday it had scheduled an expert group meeting in Johannesburg later in the week to review the latest edition of its flagship Economic Report on Africa.
The report, entitled, “Innovation for Private Sector Development in Africa”, looks at current knowledge on innovations in finance, including financial technologies (fintech) and how they can make a breakthrough in financing business sector development.
It provides reference material for policymakers, business sector decision-makers and others on harnessing private sector finance for Africa’s sustainable development and looks at how countries can adopt industrial and investment policy to support digital development.
"The overall aim of the report is to articulate how innovative sources of finance can be utilized to finance Africa’s business sector development, taking into account both potential innovations in the financial services sector and innovations in businesses," the ECA said.
"These are integral components of achieving sustainable economic development."
The report is set to be launched during ECA’s conference of African ministers of finance, planning and economic development in March.

Fashion : Karl Lagerfeld pays tribute to his taylors .
Karl Lagerfeld has paid tribute to his seamstresses at the Chanel haute couture show. The 82-year-old star declared his appreciation for the hard working team behind his creative masterpieces on the catwalk at Tuesday's fashion show in Paris who he believes "deserve" to be credited for their input.
Speaking at the star-studded bash, which saw 'Hitch' actor Will Smith and his 15-year-old daughter Willow admire Karl's designs on the front row, Karl said: " They [seamstresses] never get to see the show and deserve to be honoured."
Meanwhile, the German fashion designer has admitted he believes "today's rich" people make people who dressed in designer garments in the past look poor.
Speaking to The Telegraph online about his thoughts on the ever evolving fashion industry, the creative director of the luxury designer brand Chanel said: "90 per cent of them [people] no longer come to fittings.
"[And it is] today's rich make the rich of the past look poor."
Although Karl has revealed he has a "no contact with the clients", he has admitted he has more contact with his 200 employees - who he calls "petites mains".
Speaking about his colleagues, Karl - who launched his eponymous label in 1974 and has boasted over four decades at the helm of the fashion industry - said: "They are passionate - and they are young.
"People sometimes dismiss couture as frivolous luxury. But it also represents jobs."
Meanwhile, the entrepreneur enjoys his own company, and has previously claimed he is independent, he relies on others to bring him meals throughout the day.
Speaking previously, he said: "Mostly I stay at home from the morning until five pm, and I only go out for fittings and shoots because I work at home.
"I like to be alone. I do everything. I don't like people to touch me.
"But there is no kitchen in my house. They bring me food, like at a hotel, for lunch and dinner."
