Schaeffler’s net profits up 49 percent in Q1 CY22
The net profit for the quarter was Rs 207 crore, the company informed in a regulatory filing.
Schaeffler India has reported a profit before tax (PBT) of Rs 277 crore for the Q1CY22, which is 49 percent higher than the corresponding quarter of 2021 and almost 8 percent higher than the preceding quarter of Q4CY21.

Harsha Kadam, Managing Director, said, “Year 2022 started well for us, despite the headwinds from rising inflation and emerging geopolitical situation.

LVMH, the world's biggest luxury group, has agreed to buy Tiffany & Co, the U.S. jeweller famed for its engagement rings and white diamond necklaces, in a $16.2bn (£12.6bn) deal.
The group invested in store revamps, new product ranges and communication at the Italian jeweller, and lifted operating profits fivefold, Arnault said. LVMH is paying more than $16 billion for Tiffany.
French luxury group LVMH makes all-cach bid to take over Tiffany & Co.; Popeyes announces the official return date for their popular chicken sandwich.
The revised offer was the second time that LVMH raised its bid for Tiffany, which is something of a NY institution.
The companies said they expected to close the deal in mid-2020. The jewelers featured in the 1961 Audrey Hepburn film "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
The sale of the brand means change for the iconic retailer who operates a retail store at Providence Place Mall and more importantly employs hundreds at a manufacturing facility in Cumberland, RI.
The boards of directors of both companies have approved the acquisition, with Tiffany's board recommending that shareholders approve the transaction. Tiffany reports third quarter earnings on December 5.
The new price is up from $130 last week and $15 higher than the original all-cash offer delivered to Tiffany by LVMH managing director Antonio Belloni on October 18.
The addition of Tiffany to LVMH's jewellery holdings, which already include Bulgari, Chaumet, Tag Heuer and Hublot, vaults it past Swiss-based Richemont, which holds Cartier among other brands.
Cereda said LVMH can leverage these to target the Asian millennial market, which would mean a "rethinking of the current product mix and its USA footprint, in our view". According to Bain & Co., luxury jewelry sales rose 7 percent in 2018 to roughly $20 billion.
Chinese consumers in their 20s and 30s are helping to fuel growth across the luxury goods industry.
Under Chief Executive Alessandro Bogliolo, former head of fashion firm Diesel and a Bulgari alumnus, Tiffany has been building up its e-commerce business and is trying to court younger shoppers with more affordable pendants, earrings and new designs.
Centerview Partners and Goldman Sachs are Tiffany's financial advisors and New York-based law firm Sullivan & Cromwell serves as legal counsel.

Holiday season is approaching quickly, and with it, the season of giving. The East Lansing Department of Parks, Recreation and Arts and Greater Lansing Food Bank are getting ahead of the curve with a holiday food drive running until Tuesday.
This year's food drive is the first partnership between the two organizations. To solicit donations, every person who donates will be entered into a raffle for a variety of prizes – such as pottery pieces made at the center.
Brady Broderick, the corporate and community giving specialist at Greater Lansing Food Bank, said this food drive comes at a crucial time for the community.
“This year, food inflation across the U.S. has risen to the highest level in more than 40 years. It's forcing low-income households to spend more than 30 percent of their monthly budgets on food.” Broderick said. “It's our goal by the end of the year to deliver more than 15 million pounds of food, and we feel pretty good that we're going to reach that.”
Food drives are very easy to set up, Broderick said, and don’t need to be associated with the Greater Lansing Food Bank to make a difference. He encouraged community members to run their own food drive and to give the donations to food bank.
Broderick added that recent upgrades at GLFB has allowed for more donations to be stored and subsequently given out to those in need.
“Our warehouse is over 60,000 square-feet. It's a massive building," Broderick said. "This increased capacity has really allowed us to store more food and to store the quantity of food needed to really alleviate hunger across our service area."
The holiday food drive is currently being held at Hannah Community Center, and will accept donations until Tuesday, Nov. 15. There are large bins in the lobby of the center where donations can be placed.
Kathleen Miller, a coordinator with the East Lansing Department of Parks, Recreation and Arts, said they are specifically looking for nonperishable goods. However, there are some restrictions regarding packaging.
“We are asking for nonperishable goods. But we're also asking that those nonperishables are not vegan glass containers because when those go into the bins (they) can break,” Miller said.
Miller said they have been very successful thus far, and are thankful to the East Lansing community.
“I know we live in a very, kind of, very generous community,” Miller said.

text: Cointelegraph published an article that it has been 37 days since Tesla announced the purchase of Bitcoin for $1.5 billion. Although the specific size of the purchase was not disclosed, the transaction price of Bitcoin in January this year was between US$29,000 and US$37,000. Tesla’s US$1.5 billion expenditure may mean that the company holds at least 40,000 Bitcoin. Tesla’s at least 40,000 bitcoins are currently worth $2.2 billion, and this figure can be converted into an unrealized profit of $700 million. Therefore, since the announcement of the purchase of Bitcoin, Tesla's daily unrealized profit has been nearly $19 million. In 2020, Tesla's daily car sales will be approximately 1,368 vehicles, with a daily profit of $1.98 million. Therefore, Tesla's holdings of Bitcoin may make more money than selling cars.

Back-to-school time is stressful for everyone, not just the kids. And when students don't receive important information in a timely manner, parents and faculty suffer even more anxiety. Luckily, digital signage can help.
For educational institutions, there are numerous ways digital signage panels can be utilized to reach the desired audience, but here are three of the best reasons for campuses to consider the use of digital signage to reach their students effectively and efficiently.
As the summer draws to a close, students (often reluctantly) gear up for the start of the academic year. And as digital signage continues to infiltrate schools at an increasing rate, many students will be greeted by new installations on their campuses.
Digital signage touch and gesture technologies have changed the gamification trend as users can interact with content using their hands and fingers, or even their whole bodies, and easily be drawn into the activity.

Insulin price caps on the horizon as Senate leader plans vote
The US Senate will vote in the coming weeks on whether to introduce a $35 cap on the monthly cost of insulin to patients that was endorsed by President Joe Biden in his 2022 State of the Union address.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said yesterday that a vote on legislation which would introduce the cap – already backed in a House of Representatives vote last November – would take place this spring after the April recess.
If passed, the Affordable Insulin Now Act would apply the cap across both private health insurance and Medicare plans, and according to Schumer would cut the cost of a 30-day supply of insulin for people with diabetes from a current range of $200 to $600 per person.
The cost of insulin products has become a political hot potato in the US in recent years, with prices staying high long after products lost patent protection.
Some lawmakers have pointed the finger at the big three insulin producers and accused them of exploiting the public by maintaining high prices that can sometimes force diabetics to ration their use of the drugs.
All three have announced price cuts in the last couple of years, but critics say these do not go far enough to help people with diabetes who are struggling to afford their medicines.
Insulin prices in the US are however around eight times higher than in other countries, according to a 2020 report by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Assuming the bill is later passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Biden, the insulin cap would take effect beginning in 2023.
Schumer said yesterday that the price cap would be tied to other measures to drive down the price of insulin, including for the uninsured. Expressing his support for the bill last month, he claimed that one in four Americans are being forced to ration insulin doses due to cost.
Some companies are already taking steps to provide lower-cost insulin. Earlier this month, non-profit drugmaker Civica Rx pledged to launch biosimilars of three big-selling insulin products in the US – Sanofi's Lantus (insulin glargine), Novo Nordisk's Novolog (insulin aspart) and Eli Lilly's Humalog (insulin lispro) – by 2024.
The company said its products will cost no more than $30 per vial or $55 for five pen cartridges, adding that compares to around $329 per vial and $510 for five pens of the originator drugs.
Viatris meanwhile became the first company last year to secure FDA approval for a biosimilar product version of Lantus – Semglee – that is completely interchangeable with the reference product, meaning it can be substituted without any prescriber intervention like a regular generic drug.

Egypt is taking major steps…
Facing a massive Azerbaijani offensive,…
Occidental Petroleum has become the first U.S. oil company to announce a plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050.
In a five-minute video, Oxy cited its expertise in enhanced oil recovery, which features carbon dioxide injection into oil wells, as well as experience with carbon capture technology, which, according to the company, position it at the forefront of emission-cutting efforts.
One of the biggest users of carbon dioxide, Occidental said it currently stores some 20 million tons of CO2 underground in the Permian every year. This amount, the company said, offsets the emissions from more than 4 million cars.
Using is expertise in CO2 capturing and use, by 2040, the company will strive to reduce emissions from its own operations to a net-zero and extend this to the use of its products by customers by 2050, chief executive Vicki Hollub said during a conference call yesterday, as quoted by Bloomberg.
Earlier this year, Occidental became the first U.S. company to endorse the World Bank’s Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative, signaling it was part of efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
U.S. oil companies have been reluctant, to put it mildly, to let go of their traditional business model that focuses on the extraction of crude oil and natural gas. Unlike their European peers, U.S. energy producers have stuck to their core business when the Europeans rushed to announce urgent plans to decarbonize their operations by shifting from their core business to renewable energy and related activities.
Oxy’s plan seems to be particularly impressive for analysts, as it features plans to reduce all emission scopes as classified by regulators and environmentalists. Scope 1 emissions refer to those from a company’s own operations. Scope 2 emissions come from utilities that supply power to the company, and Scope 3 emissions come from consumers using the company’s products.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has had its share of disputes lately, with several issues cropping up that have led some to believe a hard fork next month could lead to split of the blockchain. Despite the issues, the digital currency is not only remaining strong, it continues to be at the top of the charts. With the introduction of a new protocol, it’s even possible to see the fourth-ranked cryptocurrency climb rapidly to the top of the list.
The TokenShuffle protocol was introduced to provide an additional layer of anonymity to BCH blockchain transactions. It was initially developed by Chris Troutner, a well-known BCH developer, and is still being tweaked, but could forever alter the cryptocurrency landscape.
According to Troutner, “[TokenShuffle] is a protocol for anonymizing Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and improving its fungibility. This protocol is loosely based on the ideas in Coinjoin and the [CoinShuffle] protocol and is intended to be implemented as a light-weight web app that people can anonymously interact with.”
He further detailed TokenShuffle, saying, “The anonymization feature will be a lightweight web application that users can use to send/receive BCH tokens. By adopting the principles of two already established anonymization protocols, the hope is that Bitcoin Cash transactions can become untraceable and, in turn, more secure.”
Cryptocurrencies are designed to be anonymous. However, a number of tools are available that help to decipher certain transactions. Monero, the group behind the XMR cryptocurrency, was one of the first to offer greater anonymity, completely masking the identities of those involved in transactions. The transactions are reported to be untraceable due to the use of stealth signatures and addresses to facilitate currency movements.
BCH has been around since August of last year. It is, by comparison to the other top cryptocurrencies, a new currency. While the others have been around for a minimum of four years, BCH quickly climbed up the ranks and has consistently held a top spot. It has gained a tremendous amount of support for being the only top cryptocurrency that still follows the original design of digital currency, which was to be a peer-to-peer, decentralized currency.

Fiat Chrysler proposed a merger Monday with Renault, a union that would create the world’s third biggest automaker.
The merger, if it happens, would vault the new company, with annual sales of 8.7 million vehicles, into a position ahead of General Motors and behind only Volkswagen and Toyota, both of which sell about 10.6 million.
The merger could give the combined companies a better chance in the battle among auto manufacturers to build new electric and autonomous vehicles.
Investors in both companies showed their initial approval of the announcement, with Renault’s shares jumping 15 percent in afternoon trading in Paris and Fiat Chrysler stock up more than 10 percent in Milan. The proposal calls for shareholders to split ownership of the new company.
Fiat Chrysler said the deal would save the combined companies $5.6 billion annually with shared payments for research, purchasing and other expenses. The deal does not call for closure of any manufacturing plants but the companies did not say whether any employees would lose their jobs.
The deal would give Fiat access to Renault’s electric car technologies, allowing it to meet the strict carbon dioxide emission standards the European Commission is enacting.
For its part, Renault might be able to gain ground in the U.S. market because of Fiat’s extensive operations in North America.
The French government owns 15 percent of Renault and said it supports the merger, while adding that “the terms of this merger must be supportive of Renault’s economic development, and obviously of Renault’s employees.”

WASHINGTON -- America's trade deficit rose to its second-highest level of the year as the price of imported crude oil jumped and demand for Chinese products remained strong despite recalls of tainted products.
The Commerce Department reported yesterday that the deficit for May rose to $60.04 billion, 2.3 percent more than in April. Most of the deterioration in the trade balance reflected a big increase in the foreign oil bill, which swamped record sales of US products abroad.
The Bush administration said the continued rise in exports validated President Bush's campaign for free trade deals and his opposition to raising import barrier.
The administration is working to get Congress to approve free trade deals with South Korea, Peru, Colombia, and Panama. The president also wants lawmakers to extend his power to seal trade agreements without congressional intervention. Such authority expired at the end of July. That effort faces much resistance because of unhappiness over the trade deficits and the loss of 3 million US manufacturing jobs since 2000.
So far this year, the overall trade deficit is running at an annual rate of $709 billion. That is down 6.5 percent from last year's $758.5 billion.
Analysts are looking for the deficit to improve this year. US exports are benefiting from strong growth abroad. Also, the falling value of the dollar against the euro and other currencies lifts exports.
For May, exports of goods and services rose 2.2 percent to an all-time high of $132 billion. That figure reflected big gains in sales of aircraft, electronic products, and oil drilling equipment.
Imports also set a record, rising 2.2 percent to $192.1 billion. That included a 6.2 percent jump in petroleum products to $26.6 billion, the highest since last August.
Critics said the latest jump in the deficit supports their contention the administration is pursuing a flawed trade policy.

- Online grocery shoppers will be charged hefty costs for using plastic carry bags
- Woolies will charge up to $3.50 for groceries being home-delivered in a crate
- Customers can avoid extra costs by having goods delivered in reusable bags
- Major supermarkets plan to rid all stores of disposable plastic bags by July 1
Online grocery shoppers at Woolworths are set to be charged up to $3.50 for deliveries when the plastic bag ban comes in on July 1.
The supermarket will introduce the charges from next Wednesday when the outlaw comes into effect.
Customers who arrive in store without bags will be charged extra at the checkout while those buying through their website will be slugged even more.
Woolworths say online shoppers who opt to have their food delivered in a crate will be charged an extra $3.50 while those using reusable bags will be charged $1 more.
Online grocery shoppers will be charged hefty costs for using plastic carry bags (stock image)
A Woolworths spokesman told Daily Mail Australia, the cost for ‘crate to bench option reflects the additional costs of providing this new service.’
He said: ‘With the new crate to bench service, orders are packed directly into our delivery crates, and then unpacked on to a customer’s bench by a delivery driver when they arrive.’
For customers in-store, Woolworths has made reusable bags available for 15 cents or foldable bags for 99 cents.
Previously, shoppers had their deliveries arrive in free single-use plastic bags but the new costs come into effect following Woolworths’ recent move to dump the use of plastic bags in order to ‘make a positive impact on the environment.’
Woolworths and rival Coles last year joined the push to rid Australia of disposable plastic bags, from all stores nationally by July 1.
customers can have groceries delivered in reusable bags at an additional $1 per delivery.
‘Coles online’s new bagless delivery option, which uses reusable crates will not incur any additional charge to Coles customers outside of the current delivery fee,’ Coles’ Online General Manager Karen Donaldson said.
‘Groceries will be unpacked in the customer’s home and crates will return with the delivery driver.’
Tasmania, South Australia, Canberra and the Northern Territory are already subject to state-imposed bans on single-use plastic bags. The new move requires all woolies stores in Victoria, NSW, QLD and WA to fall in line with other locations.

Vladimir Putin has issued a date for Russian regulators to reach consensus and implement laws surrounding cryptocurrency, including rules on exchanges, mining, trading, and initial coin offerings (ICOs).
Thus far, Russia’s stance on cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin has been murky at best, if not outright contradictory, but a resolution stands little more than two months away thanks to a smart goal issued by Putin himself which requires agreement on outstanding regulatory issues by July 1, 2018. Alongside this official announcement, other crypto-related legal issues are already gaining clarity.
Criticisms from local lawmakers in Q118 urged the Russian federal government to expedite decisions regarding the legal framework for cryptocurrency in the country, fearing that the country would fall behind on a global scale, leaving them in a position where playing catch-up would be the final remaining option. Russia itself has more than 50 bills in the works regarding the digital economy in the country, with cryptocurrency-related bills included among areas such as electronic documentation, digital ledgers and smart contracts as a whole, as well as the Internet of Things.
Evolving stances on cryptocurrency and blockchain have also lent to overturning prior regulations. In May of 2017, a Russian district court imposed a ban on more than 40 websites due to a prohibition on on “spreading information about”, buying, and selling cryptocurrencies. However, this ban has been lifted in a decision from the City Court of Saint Petersburg. This is but one step on the cryptocurrency road for Russia.
Presently, among the most pressing contradictions among regulatory bodies in Russia is that surrounding cryptocurrency exchanges in the country between the Central Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Finance.
Just as many countries implementing regulations surrounding cryptocurrency, one of Russia’s cited concerns is that surrounding uneducated risk-taking among citizen investors. The chair of the State Duma Committee for the Financial market, Anatoly Aksakov, is reported as saying,
The Central Bank is against the legalization of this type of digital currency, since in this case citizens can start actively investing in crypto-tools, not taking into account possible risks.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Finance has expressed a different opinion, going so far as to offer to setup an exchange specifically for crypto miners.
The two bodies must reach a decision surrounding their highly differing stances by the beginning of July when regulations are meant to go into effect.
Russia also has a bill in progress which would classify cryptocurrency as assets rather than money, disallowing citizens and visitors from paying for goods and services in crypto within the country in order to protect the Russian ruble. In a report from NewsBTC, Elvira Nabiullina, President of the Central Bank of Russia, has referred to bitcoin as “quasi-money.”
It is not unlikely that we may see a few rounds of amendments to some of the pre-existing bills in order to refine Russia’s stance on cryptocurrency, but we should see progress by July 1.

Ex-Microsoft Employee Sentenced To 9 Years in Prison for Stealing $10 Million in Digital Currency
Sometimes the biggest threat to an organization’s data and IT systems are the employees who work there.
A 26-year-old Ukranian citizen who was found guilty of stealing millions of dollars in digital currency and using the proceeds to fund a lavish lifestyle was sentenced Monday by a federal judge in Seattle to nine years in prison and ordered to pay more than $8.3 million in restitution.
Software engineer Volodymyr Kvashuk worked as a Microsoft contractor and was later hired in 2016 by the company, where he helped test its online retail sales platform. Kvashuk used that access to steal digital currency such as gift cards that could be redeemed for Microsoft products, which he would then sell online, according to court documents. He used the proceeds to buy a $1.6 million lakefront home and a $160,000 Tesla car.
The scheme started out small, according to prosecutors. Kvashuk initially stole about $12,000 using his own account access, but later used test email accounts belonging to other employees to siphon funds. He also used a bitcoin mixing service, also known as a tumbler, to launder the funds and mask where they came from. Over the course of about seven months, Kvashuk was able to transfer $2.8 million in bitcoin into his bank and investment accounts, and filed fake tax returns claiming that the digital currency was a gift from a relative, according to court documents. Kvashuk was fired in 2018.
“Kvashuk’s scheme involved lies and deception at every step,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo. “He put his colleagues in the line of fire by using their test accounts to steal CSV [currency stored value]. Rather than taking responsibility, he testified and told a series of outrageous lies.”
Kvashuk was convicted by a jury in February of wire fraud, money laundering and aggravated identity theft, among other offenses. He faced more than 20 years in prison. In the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge James L. Robart said Kvashuk “didn’t have any respect for the law.”
Microsoft could not be immediately reached for comment.
The IRS’s criminal investigation unit and the U.S. Secret Service were involved in the investigation, according to a Justice Department press release.

Sony has released its full year results for the 12 months to 31 March 2016. There aren’t too many surprises on the mobile front, as the company has delivered on its revised expectations set back in January.
The results do, however confirm that Sony Xperia shipments plunged 57 percent in Q4 FY15 to 3.4 million units. You have to go back five-and-a-half years to the summer of 2010 when it delivered the same volumes. For the full year, Sony delivered 24.9 million units, representing a year-on-year decline of 36 percent.
A small positive is that Sony’s product mix has improved as it focuses on “high value-added models”. This is reflected in a more muted revenue growth than the above volume numbers suggest. Fourth quarter mobile revenues were down by 38 percent (vs shipments down 57%) and full year mobile revenues down by 20 percent (vs shipments down 36%) to 1,127.5 billion yen.
We know that Sony’s strategic moves on the smartphone side is to focus on profitability at the expense of driving scale. This is what we see in the numbers above. The problem is that Sony needs a certain amount of critical mass to ensure its smartphone operations are viable.
It will be interesting to see what growth Sony is forecasting into FY16. The company has not given an outlook forecast at this time due to the recent earthquake on 14 April 2016. The earthquake affected Sony’s operations in the Kumamoto region, with the manufacturing site currently suspended.

However, the decision of expansion has come at a time when reports of dark clouds on car sales are hovering over the auto market. Contrary to the downturn reports Mercedes-Benz India's sales during January-March 2011 grew by 67 percent with March being the best month for sales with Mercedes-Benz C-class as the major contributor.
Besides targeting new markets, Mercedes, sensing good scope and demand in India, is also thinking of attractive offers on its diesel variants. This decision could also be the obvious outcome of the impending hike in fuel prices.
Furthermore, giving fire to its expansion strategy, Mercedes-Benz India has also reportedly added a financial wing in order to provider better finance facilities. Speaking to the press on the occasion of the completion of his 100 days in Mercedes India managing director and CEO Peter T. Honegg reportedly detailed about the expansion spree of Mercedes-Benz and what Mercedes India would focus on in the next three to five years.
However, Mercedes-Benz India is yet to disclose the names cities where it would be expanding its reach, but it is for sure that in the first phase over seven to ten prominent cities in India where the company finds potential buyers, will be targeted, sources said. Besides this, Mercedes is taking a long-term perspective for this expansion drive and will be heading this path for the next three to five years. Similar to Mercedes, General Motors has recently opened its first ever dealership in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Alibaba Deal Further Shows Kroger's Plan to Partner Internationally in Amazon Battle
from Progressive Grocer
The Kroger Co. revealed its intent to introduce its Simple Truth line of private label natural and organic products in China through a partnership with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., the world's largest retailer, one of largest internet companies and often called the Amazon of China (although the retailer's business model differs from that of the Seattle-based e-commerce giant). This came roughly seven months after reports surfaced that the two companies had been in talks on how to "speed up the integration of online and offline sales," according to a Chinese government press release.

The ICO has taken the decision to fine Yahoo UK Services £250,000 for the data breach following a cyber attack in November 2014. The maximum permissible fine could have been double that.
It took Yahoo almost 2 Years to disclose the breach that compromised the personal data of more than 500 million users including their names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords as well as security questions and answers (encrypted and unencrypted). 8 million of the compromised accounts belonged to UK citizens.
Although 500 million international users’ data was compromised, the ICO investigation focused on the 515,121 UK accounts that the firm’s UK division was responsible for and discovered the following:
- Yahoo UK services failed to take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data from unauthorised access.
- The firm failed to ensure that it’s data processor (also Yahoo) complied with the data protection standards applicable by law.
- Yahoo failed to ensure that the credentials of employees with access to customer data were monitored.
- Yahoo failed to discover or address the flaws which had been present for a long time in their systems and resulted in the breach occurring.
“The failings our investigation identified are not what we expect from a company that had ample opportunity to implement appropriate measures, and potentially stop UK citizens’ data being compromised,” explained ICO Deputy Commissioner of Operation, James Dipple-Johnstone.
Mr Dipple-Johnstone added, “Cyber-attacks will happen, that’s just a fact, and we fully accept that they are a criminal act. But as the intruders become more sophisticated and more determined, organisations need to make it as difficult as possible for them to get in. But they must also remember that it’s no good locking the door if you leave the key under the mat.”
If the breach were investigated under the GDPR the ramifications would likely have been much worse due to the magnitude of the breach and the time it took Yahoo to disclose the breach (2 Years!). Under the GDPR a breach of personal data must be reported within 72 hours. Due to the breach occurring in 2014, the governing law at the time was the Data Protection Act 1998, thus it seems that Yahoo has gotten off lightly.
Under the GDPR and the new Data Protection Act 2018, individuals have stronger rights and more control and choice over their personal data. If organisations, especially well-resourced, experienced ones, do not properly safeguard their customers’ personal data, they may find customers taking their business elsewhere,” Mr Dipple-Johnstone said.

Mike O’Hearn and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon believe red meat is important for long term health – and worry about the current generation being raised on less protein.
Compared to previous decades, non-meat diet culture is more popular than ever before. Whether it is due to moral, climate, or simply health reasons – many people are abandoning red meat from their diet (and even other meat-based proteins). Mike O’Hearn believes this is the wrong direction and has always considered red meat a super food. O’Hearn is obsessed with longevity in health in fitness – so his support of red meat is shocking in modern contexts considering that even Arnold Schwarzenegger has left red meat behind.
That’s why this week O’Hearn brought in an expert to help back up his support of a red meat diet. In Generation Iron and Barbend’s latest episode of The Mike O’Hearn Show, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses the studies behind red meat and why it’s important for long term health – not a detriment.
If you’ve seen past episodes of The Mike O’Hearn Show, you’re likely already aware of O’Hearn’s stance on red meat. Counter to the rising popularity of non-red meat diets and even the growing popularity of full vegetarian and vegan diets – O’Hearn still values red meat. He has called it a super food on many occasions. And this isn’t just some past generation stubbornness. O’Hearn cares more about longevity while staying fit and muscular more than being unhealthy and a champion in the short term.
In fact, Mike O’Hearn believes that science doesn’t fully back up the concept that red meat is healthy. Modern social media (and even regular main stream media) held onto now-old studies villainizing red meat. Science has since changed and data shows that, when in combination with a healthy lifestyle, red meat is perfectly fine.
Helping him prove his point this week is Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. With 17 years of education in health science, Dr. Lyon received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board-certified in family medicine.
She earned her undergraduate degree in Human Nutrition from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where she studied vitamin and mineral metabolism, chronic disease prevention and management and the physiological effects of diet composition. Let’s jump into it.
“Nutrition has become a religion”
– Mike O’Hearn

Is Red Meat Unhealthy?
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon states that red meat is not scientifically bad for your health. Contrary to modern belief, she has researched many studies that are not able to absolutely prove the dangers of red meat. Looking even wider out to all meat – protein is a very essential nutrient in your diet. Not just for bodybuilders and athletes – but for all individuals.
Protein is vital for longevity in fitness and health. As is weight training well into middle age. The more on point you are with your diet throughout younger age (including protein) – the less likely you’ll see rehabilitating decline as you get over the hill. The same is true for consistent resistance training.
Why Do So Many Experts Warn Against Red Meat?
So why is there so much messaging against red meat today? Dr. Gabrielle Lyon talks about how modern fitness and health conversation has become distorted. With the new era of social media and constant information – group think can twist scientific data into a narrative.
The biggest factor behind the fear of red meat is the rest of your fitness lifestyle. Many nutrition studies are done to to represent the average person. So in that sense, many studies will mention that the average participant is sedentary. So while there may herhaps be risks behind red meat with a sedentary lifestyle – the same may not be true if you are consistently fit.
With that in mind, perhaps fearing red meat should be less of a concern. Instead, feat or a sedentary lifestyle should be a priority.
“There is no upper limit [for eating red meat].”
– Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

So Should You Eat Red Meat?
Ultimately, on an individual basis, perhaps red meat still isn’t best for you. It’s important to evaluate your lifestyle overall honestly. Mike O’Hearn can proudly claim to eat red meat and use it a super food. But that’s also because he is one of the most consistent bodybuilders to ever live. He lives his life as fit as possible. He also doesn’t over indulge. Too much of any substance is bad – no matter what it is.
You should also consider other factors outside of health. Perhaps you want to avoid red meat (or all meat) because of moral factors behind factory farming. Or perhaps the climate impact factory farming has on the environment. That’s totally fine. If that’s the past you choose – you should be extra focused on how you get your protein properly for longevity in your health.
Unfortunately, these worries can’t be pushed off until you are older. The most important time to be focus on being healthy is in your teens and twenties. What you do in your youth will have a direct impact on your health in older age. Rather than try and course correct after problems start occurring – start getting focused now so you can feel energetic and capable well past middle age.
Towards the end of the interview, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses the difference between absolute risk vs relative risk determined by research studies. She states that most research on red meat and health only report on relative risk. This means that there is not a direct one to one connection between red meat and health decline.
There are many factors that go into your health and how your diet affects it. Mike O’Hearn and Dr. Lyon believe that red meat is not pure evil. It’s not an absolute risk to have in your diet. But too much red meat, like anything, can be healthy. Also, depending on your current lifestyle and past health issues, the decision to keep or drop red meat may change.
You can watch Dr. Gabrielle Lyon’s full comments alongside Mike O’Hearn in the latest episode of The Mike O’Hearn Show above. Stay tuned every Friday for new episodes only on the Generation Iron Fitness Network or wherever podcasts are downloaded.

Deck the halls with boughs of Bellsprout, because the UK Pokémon Center website is finally here.
“Congratulations on being one of the first to discover this site—our recent expansion of the Pokémon Center!” reads the website, which is currently in its Beta launch. “We’re excited to welcome you with the best possible experience, but this site is still in its early stages, so you may see a few hiccups…be sure to check back and subscribe to our email newsletter for updates – we’ll be working hard to add new product lines continually.”
There are a few things on sale that have sold out elsewhere, like the excellent Snom knitted jumper, but other items like the Ditto beanbag are not yet available on the UK site. The new Pokémon Center site will charge a flat shipping fee of £5 per order to the UK.
Of course, this is just an online Pokémon Center; there was a pop-up Pokémon Center in London, which had gigantic queues and a fair few teething problems — and hasn’t come back since its run ended in November 2019.
Now go, UK Pokéfans, and spend a ludicrous amount of money on things like this, which the author of this article can vouch for in terms of softness and snuggability… and also the ludicrous amount of money bit.

Tesla has just submitted its annual trusted statement to the SEC and has indicated that it plans to split the shares three to one, and that board member Larry Ellison has no plans to run for re-election.
Shares of Tesla rose more than 1% after the end of the hour, closing at $ 696.69 on Friday.
In a statement, the company wrote about the proposed division of shares: “Our success depends on attracting and retaining great talent,” and that in this Tesla helped “highly competitive compensation packages” that offer each employee the opportunity to receive equity. “We believe that falling stocks will help bring down the market price of our common stock so that our employees have more flexibility in managing their capital.”
Separation of stocks is cosmetic and may mean that small investors feel they can afford stocks, but these investors are meager compared to large institutions. Many brokerage firms already offer investors fractional trading, allowing small investors to buy a piece of seemingly expensive stocks.

In 2022, trusted documentation, the business of electric vehicles and renewables, also revealed that board member Larry Ellison currently owns 1.5% of Tesla. Allison plans to resign as a member of Tesla’s board of directors, but the statement did not say who could replace him.
The statement also said that Tesla CEO Elon Musk currently owns 23.5% of Tesla and Vanguard 6% of Tesla. Musk has sold much of his Tesla holdings since late 2021, in part to increase his stake in Twitter, the social media giant he has agreed to buy for about $ 44 billion.
In August 2020, Tesla announced a similar five-to-one share split.
In thirteen different proposals offered by shareholders, Tesla is invited to explore and disclose more about its efforts to combat harassment and discrimination, lobbying practices, supply chains and the workforce, as well as details on its own water use and the impact and risks of water-related climate. . .
The company plans to hold its annual online shareholders meeting with a limited number of shareholders invited in person to the new Tesla plant in Austin, Texas, on August 4, 2022.

- FDA declares trans fats no longer safe to eat; partially-hydrogenated oils to be banned from nearly all foods (Natural News, Nov 10, 2013):
The FDA is on a roll. Barely two week after announcing new quality control standards for pet food manufacturers, the agency has declared that trans fats are no longer safe to consume. A ban of the toxic substance is in the works, and the FDA will spearhead the eventual removal of this disease-promoting ingredient from the food supply.
“The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced its preliminary determination that partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), the primary dietary source of artificial trans fat in processed foods, are not ‘generally recognized as safe’ for use in food,” the FDA has now announced. “If the FDA finalizes its preliminary determination, PHOs would be considered ‘food additives’ and could not be used in food unless authorized by regulation.”
I can hardly believe my own ears when I hear myself saying the FDA has now done two incredibly positive things back-to-back. But as a long-time critic of the FDA, I’ve also earned the right to applaud them when they do something right, and removing trans fats from the food supply is hugely important to public health.
Partially-hydrogenated oils have been killing Americans for decades

Microsoft tried to buy browser maker Netscape in late 1994. But Netscape turned down the offer because the price was too low.
That could be the biggest miss in history: Microsoft eventually created its own browser and gave it away with Windows. That spawned the antitrust case that almost split the company in two and ended up costing billions.
This timing matches up with the better known history of Microsoft and the browser war. Microsoft first tried to buy a browser called BookLink, but lost out to AOL in October. It then licensed the Mosaic technology from Spyglass in 1995, and used that as the basis for Internet Explorer.
Presumably, in between Microsoft talked to Netscape as well.
Imagine how different the tech business would be if Microsoft had come back with a bigger offer and succeeded.
There would have been no browser wars and no Department of Justice antitrust case.
That antitrust case spawned a bunch of other antitrust suits and investigations from private companies (Sun, IBM, Novell, and RealNetworks, to name a few), state governments, and the European Union. All told, those suits ended up costing Microsoft more than $10 billion in fines, and probably billions more in lost opportunities, wasted time, and legal expenses. Not to mention making the company a little bit more timid in its dealings with competitors and partners.
Also, Netscape would never have gone public and kicked off the beginning of the dot-com boom. (Although undoubtedly some other company would have.)
Marc Andreessen wouldn’t have been on the cover of Time Magazine in bare feet, and probably wouldn’t have been nearly as rich, famous, or influential in technology as he is today.
Now he’s investing in a bunch of cloud-based startups like Box.net that are devoted to knocking Microsoft off its perch once and for all.

According to people close to the matter, the technology giant letting China to review its source codes makes it the first major U.S. firm to comply with the Chinese government’s demands to hold an upper hand in foreign technology. The company has started allowing officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in China to look at proprietary source code under a controlled environment. It has not been revealed yet that which IBM products are being reviewed or how much time the officials are taking while looking at the codes. People close to the matter have stated that the practice has been recently implemented.
IBM has mentioned that the practice of conducting limited tests in a controlled IBM environment has been allowed in order to reassure clients across various countries that their technology is not being accessed by the company. IBM has stressed that it is not giving government access to client data. The state media in China has reported that Steve Mills, the company’s senior Vice-president revealed the source-code sharing in a speech, adding that the company needs government’s support to continue its growth in the country.
It is to be noted that Beijing has been pressurizing the U.S. tech firms to reveal their source codes for a long time to ensure that there are no security threats. In order to gain market share in China, the U.S. firms have been joining hands with their Chinese counterparts. However, the companies have largely resisted the pressure for sharing source code, fearing that their Chinese competitors would copy the products.

A resourceful shopper has revealed his cheese buying strategy to save money at a top UK supermarket.
Sneaky Elliot William has been slammed for his cheese shopping ‘hack’ at Morrison’s when he loads up a container with cheese at the salad bar.
The thrifty 36-year-old, from Preston in Lancashire, squeezes as much cheese into the container as possible and pays £3.50 in a meal deal for his cheese haul, a drink and dessert.
Elliot told NeedtoKnow.co.uk: “Cheese is one of the most expensive items on the salad bar. It was a social experiment to see how much cheese I could get into the tub.”
He said that 500g of cheese in Morrisons cost £2.80 and he managed to get more cheese jammed into his container than that.
On top of that, Elliot’s other money-saving hack is to choose the most expensive drink as part of the meal deal. He said he loved smoothies, but they were expensive. Alongside his ‘salad’, Elliot chooses the smoothie and a protein yoghurt with the meal deal. Those two items should come to £4, but if the cheese was to cost £2.80 then the other two items only cost 70p with the meal deal.
The controversial move has had a mixed reaction as Elliot shared his experiment with his followers on TikTok. Many saying they would rather pay for non-communal cheese that had not been breathed over.
One follower said: “My friend, this is why we follow you, the research and commitment is unparalleled. We salute you.”
Another said: “This is why there’s never any cheese in the salad bar.”

It's something you don't see often these days, bicycle repair shops.
There is one holding a grand opening Saturday in Pottsville. It's owned by a man with ties to Hollywood.
John Brock has been busy putting the finishing touches on his brand new business. The Pottsville Bike and Board Shop in the heart of the city. Brock said he sells and services skateboards and bikes.
"I have been in bicycles since I was four years old. In high school being shorter than the average person I couldn't do the sports and all of that so I got on bicycles, from there never stopped," Brock said.
He sells alll kinds of bikes, one priced at $2,000 and bargain bikes for around $100.
Brock has roots in Hollywood and believes his career of being a set designer helped him take a vacant store and turning it into a business. He said his Hollywood job had him rubbing elbows with big time stars.
"Jim Carey, I worked on "Tool Time," "Junk Yard Wars" the television show, "Jurassic Park 3" the movie. I worked on a lot of things Nicholas Cage after a while they are just people," Brock added.
Next door to the bike shop is a facility that helps people with mental and social issues. Ed Perhonich runs the place. "Actually my daughter bought the first bike there. Jayden is eight years old," Perhonich.
He believes the new bike and board shop is important to downtown Pottsville. "Communities recover more than people and then people follow so I think more people that come in downtown and build it up to what it used to be it's all for the best." Perhonich.
The Bike and Board shop's grand opening is this weekend.

C4 to use Comedy Gala for ad break innovation
Channel 4 is looking to up the ante on last year's special comedy ad break, starring comedian Jimmy Carr, by pitting him against fellow comedian Alan Carr for a 'Carr vs Carr Ad Break Challenge'.
The spots will run when the 'Channel 4 Comedy Gala' returns in the summer.
During last year's celebration of all things funny, C4 commissioned an unusual ad break for one of the slots, which featured Jimmy Carr speaking over the ads of a number of brands, including Guinness, Gocompare.com and Churchill.
This year Jimmy Carr and Alan Carr will go head to head on the show, which will be shot on 24 May to air in June.
Channel 4 Sales, with show producers Open Mike Productions and promoters Off The Kerb Productions, want to get even more advertisers involved in what a spokesman for Channel 4 called "the most ambitious ad break takeover yet".
Channel 4 is looking for advertisers that want to be involved in the special breaks, which will be promoted through social media in the run-up to broadcast, in an attempt to make them as much of a talking point as the show itself.
The 'Comedy Gala' is being overseen by entertainment commissioning editor Syeda Irtizaali, who was also responsible for the original ad break innovation that received a gold award for innovation at the Media Week Awards.

The U.S. labor market is pivoting toward a post-pandemic world, with a steady stream of adults joining the labor force and employment approaching levels before Covid-19 began its rapid spread.
Employers added 678,000 workers to their payrolls in February, the biggest gain in seven months, the Labor Department said Friday. The jobless rate fell to 3.8% from 4.0% a month earlier, edging closer to the 50-year low of 3.5% hit just before the pandemic.

While Alibaba has its huge 11.11 shopping festival – aka Singles Day – which dwarfs Black Friday and Cyber Monday, rival JD.com and partner Walmart are weighing in with 8.8, and hoping its associated luck rubs off.
Walmart and JD.com are expanding their strategic partnership in China. In conjunction with that, the partners are launching a new shopping festival in mainland China on Aug. 8. The Bentonville, AR giant will now have coverage of 99% of the Chinese mainland through JD.com’s logistics and delivery network.
On that day – considered extremely lucky in Chinese culture – customers will be offered discounts, deals and rewards across all JD.com and Walmart channels. There will also be a live streamed broadcast from Walmart’s first U.S. store and opportunities for customers to share their experiences and earn rewards.
The expanded partnership includes a jointly developed supply chain and backend system to integrate inventory management. JD.com’s order management system will analyze data from the partner’s combined inventories to determine whether a JD.com warehouse or a Walmart store is closer to the customer, dispatching a JD.com courier. The companies are piloting this integration in six Chinese cities.
Since last week, customers have been able to scan a QR code at more than 400 Walmart stores in China to earn coupons for use online during 8.8.
The partners are also integrating physical stores with an online presence. JD.com recently set up a JD Home store inside a Walmart location in Shenzhen, selling consumer electronic products. There are also JD.com pickup stations in Walmart’s Chinese stores.
Since teaming up with JD.com one year ago, Walmart has launched five online stores on JD platforms.
While far behind market leader Alibaba, JD.com is growing rapidly, according to Investopedia. Ecommerce in China is projected to grow 19% in 2017, according to McKinsey & Co., far behind the simmering 70% rate in 2011. By comparison, JD.com recently reported 42% growth in gross merchandise value in the first quarter.
In February, Walmart increased its stake in JD.com to 12.1%, seeing it as a strong route into the massive Chinese ecommerce market.

Customers will earn £5 for any shares on sites including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest that lead to a purchase worth more than £70.
The reward scheme, which Dell says turns consumers into “micro-affiliates”, will be promoted by a “share and earn” button placed in its newsletter, which is sent to more than 200,000 registered Dell customers.
The strategy is similar to that of PeerIndex, which offers influential social media freebies from brands to encourage them to share more content about their products.
The Dell campaign has been implemented by UK-based digital marketing agency Digital Animal. It will be tracked via Trade Doubler.
Meanwhile Dell is also currently in the midst of an experiential and social media drive to support its new Ultrabook, the XPS 13. The activity includes a Twitter hunt, that sees Dell-branded supercars driving across London waiting for people to find them based on clues it releases throughout the day.
* UPDATE Dell has contacted Marketing Week with this statement:
The reality is that the press release you based your story on was an inaccurate characterisation of the affiliate test program, and the press release itself was not approved by Dell. That’s why we directed [marketing agency] DigitalAnimal to pull all external communication.
This was an affiliate test programme targeted at affiliates, not customers. This test program was similar to many that we run through Dell’s Home Affiliate Program. Affiliates get paid a portion of the sales that they generate through Dell.com links they can post on their sites. This programme had nothing to do with paying customers for promoting Dell. We consider anything like that to violate the spirit of our Social Media Policy, which is built on transparency and adhering to high ethical standards.
