Bob Armitage has been racking up frequent flier miles in a big way this year.
The general counsel for Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co. has been making weekly treks to Washington, D.C., to talk to
of Congress, their aides and others about legislation to allow generic biotech drugs.
Lilly brass thinks this is the year Congress will finally OK cheaper, generic copies of fantastically expensive biotech medicines.
It’s a concept Lilly supports as long as it and other makers of biotech drugs have plenty of time to recoup their investment
and turn a profit first.
With President Barack Obama firmly in support, the debate now is between two competing bills filed in the U.S. House of Representatives
One, sponsored by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., calls for giving biotech drugs the same period of exclusive sales as prescribed
for traditional chemical drugs by the 1984 Hatch-Waxman Act, which created the U.S. generic drug industry.
Accordingly, Waxman’s biotech bill would allow five years of exclusive sales before allowing generic copies to come on the
market. Existing biotech drugs that won approval for a new use could get three more years of exclusivity.
The other bill, sponsored by Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., would protect biotech drugs for 12 years before allowing generic competition.
Existing drugs that won approval for a new use could get two more years of exclusivity.
These periods of exclusivity are separate from patents, which on average keep away generic competitors for 14 years. But Lilly
and its peers are constantly waging court battles with generic drugmakers to protect those patents.
Lilly, which now derives 26 percent of its sales from biotech drugs, naturally favors Eshoo’s bill. Lilly CEO John Lechleiter
has even gone to Washington to make that preference known.
"We know that you can actually make this model work for the generic industry. The key is to make it work so we survive,"
Armitage, referring to Lilly and its peers that sell the branded drugs generic drugmakers later copy.
Indeed, generic biotech drugs represent a big threat to the large pharmaceutical companies, which increasingly have turned
to biotech drugs for growth as their most successful chemical-pill-form medicines cruise toward the end of their patent lives.
Biotech drugs are proteins produced by massive cultures of living cells. Scientists splice DNA into the genes of these cells
to get them to produce the protein they want.
Biotech drugs are literally brewed-like beer — in a series of increasingly larger tanks, up to tens of thousands of
The typical biotech medicine comes as an injectable liquid.
For years, pharmaceutical companies argued that biotech drugs couldn’t really be copied because any subtle change in the genetic
engineering or in the "brewing" process would produce a different protein.
But more recently, pharmaceutical companies have thrown their support behind generic biotech drugs-as long as their window
on sales exclusivity doesn’t close too quickly. Trouble is, biotech has become a synonym for exorbitant. For example, Herceptin,
a biotech breast cancer treatment introduced 11 years ago by Genentech Inc., costs $40,000 for one year of treatment.
"Excessive exclusivity means that it will be decades before patients have access to affordable biogeneric medicines,"
Kathleen Jaeger, CEO of the Generic Pharmaceutical Association, in a statement. "Timely access to affordable biogenerics
save lives and save consumers and state and federal governments billions of dollars."
But Armitage thinks the limits in Waxman’s bill would make biotech drug development too risky for companies large and small.
He said drugmakers would develop only drugs for which they are certain they have ironclad patents, meaning they can probably
avoid generic competitors for 14 years.
"Patents are extremely important, but they can’t do the job alone," Armitage said.

Five years later, the implementation of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the European Union remains a profound disappointment for Canadian beef producers.
Although CETA created quotas for nearly 65,000 tonnes of duty-free access for Canadian beef, unresolved technical barriers have prevented Canadian producers from taking anywhere close to full advantage, the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) said in a release this week.
Back in 2017, CCA estimated that when the CETA quotas were fully implemented, there would be potential to export $600 million of Canadian beef annually to the European Union. But in 2021, exports to the EU were just 1,450 tonnes valued at $23.7 million. Little improvement is expected for 2022.
Meanwhile, the amount of beef coming the other way, from the EU to Canada, is much larger. In 2021, Europe exported 16,295 tonnes of beef worth $100 million to Canada. Indeed, for every pound of Canadian beef exported to Europe, Canada has imported 11. In 2022, that imbalance increased further, to a 17 to 1 ratio.
“Our exports to Europe are minimal, a far cry from what we expected and certainly much less than the amount of beef Europe is sending to Canada,” said Reg Schellenberg, CCA President.
According to the CCA, the main problem is that the EU does not recognize the Canadian food safety system as a whole. Instead, it imposes its individual requirements on Canada, with the result that when the two regulatory frameworks don’t completely align, Canadian processors have to re-work their operations for special Europe runs and then switch back to comply with Canadian requirements. The result is increased costs that largely make exporting beef to Europe not profitable.
Regardless, Canadian beef producers have not given up on the trade deal. CCA representatives visited Brussels last week to discuss solutions to the current obstacles, and CCA has submitted scientific evidence on why the EU should recognize the efficacy of the Canadian food safety system.
“Despite the disappointing results thus far, CCA remains resolved in unlocking trade potential in the EU,” Schellenberg said.

GLOUCESTER Co., Va. – The Gloucester Sheriff’s Office is searching for a suspect who allegedly stole $1,000 worth of perfume from a makeup store.
On May 9, around 10:30 a.m., police say the female suspect entered the Ulta cosmetic store located at 6730 Fox Centre Parkway and put over $1,000 worth perfumes in her purse.
The suspect exited the store without making a purchase, setting off the in-store audible alarms, and proceeded out the door past the last point of sales committing grand larceny.
The suspect got into an older model silver Subaru Forrester and left the area.
The Sheriff’s Office asks that anyone who can help identify this suspect should call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-LOCK-U-Up (1-888-562-5889) or the Sheriff’s Office directly at (804)-693-3890.

This season, London Fashion Week design duo Teatum Jones dedicated their AW18 line to ‘Global Womanhood’.
Catherine Teatum and Rob Jones, the pair behind the label, asked 25 women to recall their favourite memories of joy, happiness and hope.
And before the show kick-started, a short film projected their moving answers to the crowd with the likes of transgender model, Munroe Bergdorf, speaking candidly about their personal experiences.
And the theme of diversity continued, as the sound dimmed down and the runway lit up.
Neelam Gill led the model pack, stepping out in a fuchsia-tinged tent dress before an army of women followed in super-sized sleeves and saccharine-hued suits.
But most notably, it was a sartorial celebration of diversity with mature women and amputee model, Kelly Knox, debuting the collection.
Though it’s not the first time the London label has shone a spotlight on diverse womanhood, as amputee models showcased the brand’s SS18 collection too, as part of a year-long examination of the human form.
And the season before that, the design duo asked two disabled models to walk the runway on behalf of the label.
But with an industry which is readily embracing diversity (just look at JW Anderson’s gender-fluid line or Christopher Bailey’s LGBTQ-inspired collection), here’s hoping it will soon no longer take a headline for acceptance.

Tourism becomes key pillar in Vietnam-Hong Kong relations
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, about 20 flights were operated between Vietnam and Hong Kong, bringing more than 50,000 visitors to the Southeast Asian country.
Tourism plays a significant role in the multi-sectoral relations between Vietnam and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China, Hanoi has said.

Tourism has been one of the key pillars in the growing relations in terms of economics, trade, and investment, according to the Spokesperson of Vietnam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), Le Thi Thu Hang.
Room for cooperation in the tourism industry remains large following the opening of economic activities in the post-pandemic recovery, Hang said in the press conference held in Hanoi on June 9.
“We believe that cooperation between Vietnam and Hong Kong will constantly develop, especially in trade, investment, finance, and tourism, bringing practical benefits for both sides and contributing to cooperation and development in the region,” she said in response to a question on the possibility of Hong Kong’s border reopening and the cooperation between Vietnam and the administrative region.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, there were 20 flights between Hong Kong and the Southeast Asian country. In 2019, more than 50,000 Hong Kong people arrived in Vietnam, who are “high-quality customers.”
According to the spokesperson, Vietnam attaches importance to the relations with Hong Kong that have been demonstrated through the strong development in various fields. She said trade maintained growth momentum despite Covid-19. In 2021, the two-way trade hit US$13.6 billion, up 18% year on year.
Hong Kong is currently the fifth biggest investor in Vietnam with approximately $27 billion. Meanwhile, Vietnam is Hong Kong’s second-largest trading partner in ASEAN and 7th globally.
Regarding tourism, Vietnam is an increasingly attractive destination for people from Hong Kong. In June 2021, Hong Kong eyed the travel bubble model to Phu Quoc, the biggest island in Vietnam, amid widespread Covid-19 infections. Both Chairman of the Hong Kong Travel Industry Council Jason Wong and the Vietnamese Consul General to Hong Kong Pham Binh Dam agreed on the potential for cooperation.

B&T was front and centre yesterday at the ad:tech conference in Sydney, where Isobar’s chief strategy officer for the Asia-Pacific region, Sandipan Roy (pictured above), explained in detail what sets apart pioneers from the pack.
Essentially, Roy said the fundamental difference between pioneers and the rest of us is they focus on the new and different, while we focus on the better.
Roy elaborated on this by identifying five key traits of a pioneer; the first being that they focus on the purpose rather than the proposition, and innovation over optimisation.
Another difference between a true pioneer and a fast follower is that pioneers start their journey by solving neglected problems, rather than designing “melodramatic” solutions, according to Isobar’s strategy guru.
“Pioneers have found it in themselves to liberate businesses and customers from friction,” he said.
Roy pointed out that old economy companies were largely built on creating artificial scarcity before the internet brought us to the new digital economy that makes money off abundance.
He went on to say that pioneers create, not compete.
“They escape from the competition and create their own market,” he said.
“The problem with competitive advantage is that the competition becomes the defining variable; that becomes the boundary that a brand operated in.
“What that leads to is the business making its own product bit by bit better than the competition; not doing something new and different. Pioneers redraw boundaries and look at completely new markets to operate in.”
Japanese-based Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN) has revealed its Q2 results to June that showed the holding company’s revenue, less cost of sales, declined by nearly 18 per cent to US$169.5 million, while its operating profit declined by 39.2 per cent YOY to $37.5 million. The pandemic is being blamed on the poor result. The APAC […]

Wal-Mart Stores has announced a plan to measure energy used by its suppliers in seven product categories: vacuum cleaners, soap, DVDs, toothpaste, milk, soda and beer.
The company is partnering with the non-profit group Carbon Disclosure Project to help evaluate the amount of energy used to make products and move them through the supply chain.
The goal is to, following the evaluation, launch a pilot project to make the supply process more energy efficient.
The products were chosen because they are ordinary products that customers commonly use, Wal-Mart said. Wal-Mart has been involved in several “green” initiatives in recent years, including plans to make stores more energy efficient and promotions on compact fluorescent light bulbs.

The U.S. and other Western countries are looking to set in motion plans to return to a more stable economy by using quick solutions to escape the shadows of the financial crisis and encourage new economic growth. Developed countries are trying to take advantage of industrialization by regaining international manufacturing competition, which will affect China’s dominance greatly.
The U.S. has long accounted for the world’s largest share of manufacturing. Peaking in the 1950s, the U.S. accounted for about 50 percent of the world’s manufacturing output. But as it developed, the U.S. began to slow down its industrialization, partially because of globalization but also because outsourcing production had become a major trend. As a result, the U.S. turned to a more service-oriented industry as the manufacturing industry in the U.S. continued to decline. Marking a loss in its status as the world’s biggest producer, its share of 19.4 percent of the world’s output was lower than China’s 19.8 percent in 2010.
This hollowing out of the manufacturing sector had a huge impact on the U.S. employment rate. Ever since the financial crisis, the unemployment rate has remained high. The Obama administration has been trying to raise the employment rate, but this has not helped much. The main reason that the industrial sector has been hollowed out is that many companies, including high-tech companies like Apple, have moved the vast majority of their production lines to emerging economies like China.
For this reason, the U.S. and Europe hope to regain their roles as the centers of world manufacturing through governmental re-industrialization strategies and remodeling their industry competitive advantages. The Obama administration plans to not only develop a renewable energy sector to facilitate the transition, but also to boost employment and promote energy conservation in response to the economic crisis. The U.S. also hopes to actively develop high-value manufacturing industries such as advanced manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, renewable energy, biotechnology, information technology and other emerging industries to recreate a new and strongly competitive industrial sector.
As the U.S. begins to walk down the road of energy self-sufficiency, it plans to reduce the import of oil and gas from the Middle East and Canada in order to reduce production costs and its dependence on and exploitation of gas in the country. The combination of this transformation and re-industrialization will heavily promote the economic competitiveness of the U.S., which will have a huge impact on the world’s industrial division of labor as well as on China. In the future, high-end manufacturing in China will face extrusion from the U.S. and Europe, while also facing off with Southeast Asian countries in low-end manufacturing. Enormous challenges await as countries compete with each other to upgrade their industrial sectors.
Manufacturing in China leads the world right now, but with increased labor costs and new environmental standards, China will quickly lose its comparative advantage. If the U.S. launches its Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement successfully, the export market for China’s manufacturing industry is bound for demise as countries continue to increasingly outsource to Southeast Asian countries.

As the country begins to slowly reopen, it's probably time to invest in a reusable face mask if you haven't already. According to experts, COVID-19 will likely continue to be a problem for the next 18 months to two years, and the CDC recommends wearing a mask when in public settings.
Video of the Day
Old Navy is offering a 5-pack of face masks for both adults and kids for only $12. The triple-layer cloth masks come in a surprise variety pack of designs. They are made of excess fabric, so it really is a crapshoot as far as the patterns you'll receive. But for $12, it might be worth wearing a paisley mask, even if camo is more your style.
The masks are machine-washable and made with 100% cotton poplin for effectiveness and comfort, according to the company.
Old Navy will be donating 50,000 masks to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

(seafood.vasep.com.vn) In this return to the aquatic feed segment, in addition to optimizing profits for pangasius fillets, Vinh Hoan set an ambition to bring pangasius to the Sushi table.
Once left the aquatic feed segment to focus on pangasius and collagen
Year of 2021 marks Vinh Hoan's return to the aquafeed segment when starting construction of Feed One aquatic feed factory with a total investment of VND 800 billion, with a capacity of 400,000 tons of feed/year.
This was also an area that helped Vinh Hoan significantly reduce the cost of raising pangasius, but then the company had to say goodbye after 6 years of working together.
Back in 2008, Vinh Hoan realized that the cost of fish feed accounted for 70% of the product's cost, so the company decided to establish Vinh Hoan 1. This factory specializes in the production of aquafeed, helping Vinh Hoan can control inputs, perfect the model of livestock production - closed processing, and reduce costs. At the same time, profit margin also improved significantly when there was a fish feed factory.
But at the end of 2014, Vinh Hoan suddenly said "hands over" this aquatic feed factory to its Philippine partner, Pilmico International, for 414 billion VND.
Explaining this decision, Mrs. Truong Thi Le Khanh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vinh Hoan Joint Stock Company, said that at that time (2014), the animal feed market has no room for inexperienced companies and Vinh Hoan wants to focus on training, the core business of raising, processing, and exporting pangasius plus focusing on investing in collagen projects.
“The Philippine partner has decades of experience in the field of animal feed. As for Vinh Hoan, it is not possible to invest in further research in this area. Selling the factory to them, the company also reduces the risk of having to compete on price with so many competitors like today," she explained.
Alongside the sale of Vinh Hoan 1 factory, the company expects to buy feed from its partners at a lower price.
Anyway, the sale of the feed factory in Vinh Hoan also earned a "good" profit when the initial investment capital for the factory was only about 70 billion VND.
At the same time, Vinh Hoan also sold the whole rice segment to focus on the core of pangasius.
What does Vinh Hoan expect this time around?
At the 2022 general meeting of shareholders held in mid-April, Mrs. Khanh said that this year Vinh Hoan will release the first shipment from Feed One factory. The initial capacity of the plant is 350,000 tons/year (out of a total expected capacity of 400,000 tons/year).
Some shareholders questioned why this segment's profit margin is not high, but Vinh Hoan still does it? And this time coming back to this aquatic food, what does Vinh Hoan expect?
According to the head of Vinh Hoan, people still only consider the processing segment of the pangasius industry, but there is still a very large segment with potential for breakthroughs that businesses have not yet paid attention to, which is fish feed.
“For investors, the profit margin of the aquafeed segment is low, but from the perspective of a producer, Vinh Hoan considers this a strategic step because currently feed prices are very high, and there is a lack in supply. Meanwhile, food constitutes up to 70% of the cost of production," Khanh said.
In 2021, Vinh Hoan's gross profit margin is 21% with the main revenue coming from pangasius fillets.
Vinh Hoan believes that in the near future there will be at least 50% of space to develop the profit margin of the pangasius segment, in which, the animal feed segment is part of the company's 5-year long-term strategy to improve profit margin.
In the past time, the disruption of the supply chain caused by COVID-19 and the tension between Russia - Ukraine has made the price of input materials for animal feed production continuously increase sharply. This pulls the price of finished feed up to about 35% at one point.
Therefore, the expansion of the aquaculture chain to produce aquatic feed is expected to be the most effective, especially in the context that this year the company will increase the farming area by 100-150 hectares to reach the ratio of 100 to 150 hectares. The self-control ratio of pangasius raw materials is up to 70%, making a significant contribution to the group's profit starting from 2022.
“Currently, the aquatic feed segment has two big problems that have not been resolved, which are nutrition and how to manage the feed to ensure the fish culture environment. If the environment is dirty, the quality of the fish will be affected. We have done a lot of experiments and this will be the most modern fish feed factory in Vietnam,” said Ms. Khanh.
With the Feed One project, Vinh Hoan sets an ambition to put vaccines into food so that the pangasius has good resistance from an early age, improving the survival rate.
At the same time, the self-control of food production helps the company control the nutritional content of the fish, thereby improving the quality of the meat and moving to bring pangasius to the Sushi table.
"If one day pangasius is displayed on the Sushi table, then Vinh Hoan can beat his chest to claim that he has reached the pinnacle of the industry. A foreign shareholder once asked us how we can raise pangasius how the meat can be Mango flavor? Of course, it depends on the food, and how much is the selling price,” said Ms. Khanh.
Currently Vinh Hoan is looking for a foreign partner to jointly develop the aquatic feed segment.

During Token2049 FBX to Burn 800m 80% of Tokens, Becomes AI Enhanced Bitcoin Trading Machine
FBX, announced that it will be burning 800m tokens, or 80% of its total supply. The burn will take place during Token2049 conference in Singapore.
The burn is part of FBX’s plan to become an AI enhanced bitcoin trading machine. The platform will use the proceeds from trading at XT. These algorithms will be used to increase the number of Satoshis backing each FBX Token.
Total of 300m 30% $FBX Burned as the transition to a $BTC #AI enhanced trading machine occurs #Bitcoin https://t.co/PBZ58XVz49 #1000x #CRYPTONEWS https://t.co/jJ9wpxP1h5 … … pic.twitter.com/CskI2lClOp— FBX by KXCO (@FinanceBlocks) September 13, 2023
Knightsbridge the owner of FBX are committed to providing our users with the best possible Bitcoin products. The burn is a major step in the plan to become an AI enhanced bitcoin trading machine. Knightsbridge believe that offering the best Bitcoin products will make them the leading platform for all things bitcoin.
The burn will be completed by the end of the Token2049 conference.
Knightsbridge is a niche cryptocurrency trading platform for HNWI and Institutions. The platform offers a variety of features, including margin trading, spot trading, and derivatives trading. Knightsbridge is also one of the few platforms that offer AI-powered trading algorithms.
The burn of 800m tokens is a significant event for FBX. It is a sign of the commitment to innovation and its desire to become the leading bitcoin service provider.
The burn is also likely to have a positive impact on the price of FBX tokens. The reduced supply will make the tokens more scarce, which could drive up their price.
FBX’s move to become an AI enhanced bitcoin trading machine is a bold one. However, it is a move that could pay off handsomely if successful.
Only time will tell if FBX’s gamble will pay off. However, the burn of 800m tokens and the move to become an AI enhanced bitcoin trading machine are certainly steps in the right direction.

Aberystwyth is the 19th clone town
report released today by the New Economics Foundation reveals the high streets of Aberystwyth, Bridgend, Carmarthen and Llanelli have all lost their individuality and have become part of an “identikit” commercial culture. Traditional market towns across Wales are being turned into 'clone towns' as chains continue to drive independent retailers off the high street. Once-distinctive towns have now lost so much of their character as a result of the suffocating effect of large retailers such as Marks & Spencer, Topshop and HMV, and their residents no longer engage in the community.

The Chicago Democrat told The Associated Press on Christmas Eve that he'd bought some presents but still has to pick up a few for relatives. Quinn said Tuesday that he hasn't been shopping much lately as he went without pay until lawmakers approved an overhaul of Illinois' nearly $100 billion pension crisis. Legislators agreed on a plan earlier this month during a special session in Springfield and Quinn signed it into law. Shortly afterward, Quinn collected five months of checks totaling more than $70,000. He had let them pile up at the Illinois comptroller's office. Quinn told AP he had to manage but was well prepared. "I majored in economics in college," he explained. His cutbacks included not buying new suits during that time and packing his own lunch. As for the holiday gifts, Quinn said he'd still hit the Christmas Day deadline. He said: "It's Dec. 24, isn't it? Christmas Eve."

Tesla Updates Warranty For A Bad Reason: Owners Will Be Furious
Man, we hate it when we get info about the “bad Tesla.” Mostly, Tesla is all about the good. You know, good for the environment, great cars, increasing range, things like that. But occasionally, the bad Tesla pops up, and that’s when you start to wonder if they care about their customers after all? The latest bad Tesla is its decision to scale back the warranty for its media unit and touchscreen. There have been many problems and complaints about the unit. Now Tesla is doing something about it. But only for Tesla. It has shrunk the warranty for two years or 25,000 miles. So Tesla updates its warranty for a bad reason, and when owners find out they’ll be furious.
What started as a problem with the embedded Multi-Media-Card memory (eMMC) in the original MCU (central media unit with a touchscreen), has been overwritten to the extent it won’t function. The result of that is early Tesla owners have to replace it. The original warranty for the MCU was four-years or 50,000 miles. If at that time the unit failed Tesla would replace it at no charge.
This week Tesla cut the length of the warranty in half
This week it cut the length of the warranty in half. The change is now “two-years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.” According to electrek, the change has been announced after it was reported that the NHTSA opened an investigation into the MCU issue. Just a few months ago Tesla began offering MCU2 upgrades for $2,500. Unfortunately, this upgrade is only backed by the two-year, 25,000-mile warranty, too.
As electrek put it, “This is one of those situations where Tesla disappoints.” Yes, it does. Tesla has had an ongoing battle with its early MCUs. To fix the problem it came up with an update last year. Unfortunately, the update could not fix the compromised unit’s lifespan. So the problem got fixed but the unit was already well on its way to fizzling out quicker.
Tesla now conveniently shortens the warranty to keep the company safely within the expected lifetime of the MCU
Because of that, Tesla now conveniently shortens the warranty to keep the company safely within the expected lifetime of the MCU. Especially because it is an electrical component it seems that 25,000 miles is not an honest amount of usage. At the very least the replaced MCU should be covered for more than only two years. Normal wear would dictate it should last far longer.
Also according to electrek, Tesla has updated the warranty right when it’s ready to perform FSD upgrades to MCU1 vehicles. Those owners are now upset that they are having issues with the MCU after upgrading the Autopilot software. Obviously, the way to fix that is with a replacement MCU, so they will be shortchanged by this new warranty.
The problem for Tesla is that those computer upgrades are closely followed by the need to replace MCUs. With an expected rush on MCUs Tesla didn’t want to have to make replacements for nothing. So now it is changing the warranty to back out of a giant give-away of MCUs.

Jeep plans to build a SUV in China, to become more competitive in the fast-growing segment.
The fact that Jeep will manufacture a SUV in China dies not mean it will reduce or transfer production from the US. On the contrary the automaker is increasing production by 4,000 units in Detroit, Toledo or Belvidere, Ill., this year.
“For us to continue the growth of the Jeep brand and therefore be successful because of that, you need to produce locally for the local market,” Manley said in a group interview at the Shanghai Auto Show.
In January Chrysler and Guangzhou Auto Group signed a deal to create a joint venture and although they still need the government’s approval Jeep CEO Mike Manley is confident that production will begin by the end of 2014. Although Jeep was the first US automaker to sell vehicles in China, the company’s image was stained during the last presidential campaign when Republican candidate Mitt Romney spread rumors that Jeep plans to transfer SUV production from the US to China.
Last year Jeep exported in China 46,000 vehicles, making the country its second-biggest market. Yale Zhang, managing director of Automotive Foresight Shanghai, predicts that the SUV segment will increase in China from the current 15% (2 million units)market share to 20% in 2015 (3.5 million units).

Current Status of Vaping in Thailand
Vaping and e-cigarettes are gaining popularity worldwide as a less harmful alternative to smoking. However, in Thailand, the use and possession of these devices are currently banned under the Tobacco Products Control Act. Vapers caught with an e-cigarette or vape can face a fine of up to THB 30,000 (approximately USD 1,000) or even imprisonment for up to 10 years. Despite the ban, vaping has a significant following in the country and a thriving black market for vaping products exists.
Change in Regulations
Recent reports suggest that the Thai government is considering regulating and legalizing vaping. After facing public criticism for the strict laws, the government has admitted that it might be better to regulate rather than completely ban vaping. A joint committee has been set up by the Ministry of Public Health to study the issue and make recommendations on the regulation of e-cigarettes. If the recommendation is approved, it could create a legal way for people to buy vapes and e-cigarettes in the country, ending the current black market and reducing the risk of fake and low-quality products being sold.
Innovations in the Industry
Despite the strict laws, there have been significant innovations in the vaping industry worldwide, and Thailand is no exception. One of the most significant innovations is the use of technology in the devices themselves. Vapes are now able to regulate temperature, provide data on the amount and quality of liquid consumed, and allow for customization of the vapor produced. The latest devices also come with pre-built circuits and control systems that allow for user-friendly operation.
Another innovation in the vaping industry is the use of new materials in the construction of the devices. Companies are using durable materials that make the devices last longer, and users can customize the look and feel of their devices to suit their preferences. Lastly, vaping-related products such as e-liquids and pods have evolved. Companies are producing products that have better flavor profiles and are less harmful to users. This is a significant change from traditional tobacco products that have persistent, unpleasant smells that users have to deal with.
Challenges Facing the Industry
Despite the improvements in the vaping industry, there are still challenges facing the sector. One of the most significant is the negative perception of vaping products in the public eye. People are often skeptical of the relative safety of these products and concerned about their potential long-term harm. There is also a lack of adequate studies to establish the impact of e-cigarettes on long-term users and bystanders.
The black market for vaping and e-cigarette products poses another significant challenge for the industry. These products are unregulated, and there is no guarantee that they are safe or quality-tested. They are often sold at cheaper prices and can contain harmful contaminants. The government’s regulation of vaping products could help to address this issue. Curious to learn more about the topic? We’ve got you covered! หัวพอต infy ราคาส่ง https://vapetopia.shop, check out the external source for more in-depth information and fresh perspectives.
The vaping industry is facing significant challenges in Thailand, but there are also opportunities for future growth. The Thai government’s joint committee could provide a legal way for people to buy vaping products in the country and end the black market. Innovations in the industry are providing better options for users and improving the safety and sustainability of vaping. Nonetheless, there is still a long way to go before vaping gains wider acceptance in Thailand.

Capital Of Liaoning Province Surpassed Hangzhou To Become China’s Third-Largest Luxury Market In 2010
As the largest city in northeast China, with a population of nearly 8 million, and a key transportation and trade hub owing to its proximity to Russia and North Korea, Shenyang, capital of Liaoning Province, has seen its fortunes increase fairly rapidly over the last couple of decades. With the ensuing increase in the number of wealthy residents, major luxury brands have begun to stream in, and the city now boasts two Louis Vuitton boutiques, a Gucci store, and brands like Tiffany & Co., Bally and Zegna concentrated at the high-end Charter Shopping Center (卓展购物中心). But interestingly enough, one factor that sets Shenyang apart from other fast-growing second-tier cities is its increasingly sophisticated second-hand luxury market. With Shenyang surpassing Hangzhou last year to become the third largest single luxury market in China with sales totaling 1.5 billion yuan (US$229 million), putting it behind only Beijing and Shanghai, a flood of high-end goods have washed over the city. Now, with demand surging, some enterprising luxury consumers have realized they can quickly turn a profit on their new luxury goods by “flipping” them at second-hand shops.
From Sina (translation by Jing Daily team):
No one knows exactly how many people are buying second-hand luxury goods in Shenyang, but anyone who joins this group of buyers quickly becomes a loyal fan. Recently, [shopping mall] Shenyang Secoo held a four-day second-hand luxury exhibition, only sending the exact date and time of the event to club members right before it began. The event ultimately pulled in 240,000 yuan (US$37,000). Explained manager Mr. Liu, Shenyang’s second-hand luxury market has a great deal of potential. One month earlier, a similar event made more than 100,000 yuan, but this comparatively large event was not only a financial success but also proved extremely popular among Shenyang shoppers.
Last December, after noting the potential for the future development of Shenyang’s second-hand luxury market, manager Liu decided to start a consignment business. Liu decided to keep the store location quiet and decorate it in a low-key fashion, explaining, “[my] business is second-hand luxury goods, not grandstanding. We want customers to be attracted by the goods themselves.” Added Liu, “In the store, every item has ample space, which allows customers to clearly see the price of each product.” The 200 square meter store has already attracted many shoppers, and interested parties can first check out the inventory online before coming in to inspect the items in person. Simple and convenient.
According to manager Liu, the most popular brands in Shenyang are Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Coach, Hermes and Dior, with the most frequent transactions involving handbags, watches, sunglasses, jewelry, and scarves. Far and away, the most popular items are women’s handbags. The consumer base is predominantly female, with Liu saying that female shoppers comprise more than 70 percent of shoppers at his store. Most of Liu’s customers are independent business owners, housewives, or white collar workers between the ages of 30-40. As most of these individuals socialize with a similarly high-income, luxury-obsessed crowd, Liu sees no shortage of potential demand for second-hand goods.
The Sina article goes on to note that the rapid development of Shenyang’s second-hand luxury market may boil down to the fact that some of the top luxury brands and most popular handbags are extremely hard to come by in Shenyang, with people there often having to sign up on long wait-lists for Hermes bags in other cities. Currently, there are more than 20 high-end consignment shops in Shenyang, most of which are centered in the city’s Huanggu (皇姑), Xitie (铁西) and Hunnan (浑南) neighborhoods, or near the Charter Shopping Center. Business, apparently, is quite good at all of these stores.
While Beijing and Dalian are seeing the number of luxury consignment shops increase rapidly, Shenyang is becoming a more popular shopping destination for consumers in Dalian or Harbin — who previously had to travel to Beijing or Hong Kong to get their second-hand luxury fix. According to manager Liu’s rough estimate, last year Shenyang’s 20 second-hand luxury shops saw turnover of more than 10 million yuan (US$1.5 million), making it, in Liu’s estimation, the undisputed second-hand luxury hub of northeastern China.

Bikeworks offers training on how to fix bikes
- Falls City Community Bikework will open on July to help people learn about bike repair
- Membership is $60 a year, but non-members can come and get their bikes looked at for $8 an hour
- Bikeworkswill also sell some refurbished bikes, and bike parts will be available for purchase.
Bella Christensen wanted to learn how to repair her bike but felt there was no place in Louisville that could help.
So she co-founded Falls City Community Bikeworks, where people will be able to learn about bike repair and get help fixing their ride. Volunteer mechanics will help people figure out what's wrong with their bikes and how to fix them.
"This is where you get to learn. You can't drop your bike off here. No one's going to fix it for you," she said.
Bikeworks, which officially opens in July, is at 1217 Logan St. in what looks like an old barn. The courtyard behind the garage has a colorful painting on the back wall, which Christensen said was done by a local artist. She said the artist painted the wall in exchange for learning how to do bike repair.
"We swap all kinds of things," she said.
Membership is $60 a year, but non-members can still come and get their bikes looked at for $8 an hour. For those who want to be members but can't afford it, Christensen said they have "sweat equity," in which people can help out in exchange for membership.
"We want everyone to be able to come in here and learn," she said.
Bikeworks will sell some refurbished bikes, and bike parts will be available for purchase.
Seth Short held a training session in the garage last Wednesday to help people who want to volunteer as mechanics learn how to do more bike repairs.
Short has worked Bike Couriers Bike Shop in Louisville and Big Red Bikes at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. He said he learned from others, as well as YouTube videos, but had to learn some repair techniques on his own.
"You run into a problem and then you just have to learn how to fix it," he said.
He said he thinks the community environment that Bikeworks has set up will succeed and people already have expressed a lot of interest.
"I see people all over town riding bikes that are just totally busted up," he said.
Short said the problems with people's bikes are usually easily fixable, and riders just have to be given the tools and knowledge.
Maple Needler said at the training session that he's interested in being a volunteer mechanic, but also does a lot of other things for Bikeworks, including working on its website. He said he thought the community-based shop is a great idea.
"It was in line with some of the thoughts I've had, with community building and avid cyclists," he said. "The whole spirit of the thing rang true with me."
He also said the area lacks places that help with bike repair, as there isn't a bike shop within a few miles of the Bikeworks. "This is kind of a desert.
Co-founder John Krueger said that with all the space the location has, there is room to grow.
Krueger said he hopes "people will come here and take part in a learning environment."
He said anyone, experienced or not, can volunteer at Bikeworks.
"People will learn without being intimidated by bicycles," he said.
Christensen said they can't take credit for the community that has popped up around the shop.
"There's no way we could have manufactured the kind of community that has sprung up here. You can't create that," she said. "You just set it up and hope people show."

- Some Black people said they are wary of non-Black communities taking the lead on Juneteenth celebrations.
- Angela Bannerman Ankoma, vice president and executive director of Equity Leadership of Rhode Island Foundation, a nonprofit organization, said Juneteenth is about serving the community, not big corporations trying to make a buck with a salad or ice cream.
- The holiday has been a tradition for the Black community for decades, with families and organizations hosting yearly celebrations. Organizers of Juneteenth events said people new to the holiday, especially corporations, should turn to these organizations for guidance on how to honor Juneteenth.
On Friday, Juneteenth NY launched its 13th annual festivities, a celebrated tradition in New York City commemorating the nation’s newest federal holiday. The theme, “Unity in the Black family Unit,” is a nod to this year’s holiday landing on Father’s Day and includes performances, local vendors and a fashion exhibit highlighting emerging Black designers.

Azul 3D, known for its ongoing development of high area rapid printing (HARP) technology, is certainly not lacking in financial resources—or faith from investors. Having just raised another $12.5 million in seed financing, the Skokie, IL startup will expand its printing technology further, along with developing a line of commercial 3D printers. This latest round of funding follows recent financing of over $8 million in May, along with a previous $5.4 million for development and release of their HARP printers.
Investors for this round of funding included:
- Louis A. Simpson, former CIO for Geico, former manager of Berkshire Hathaway and founder of SQ Advisors
- Wally Loewen Baum, former chairperson of 3D Systems
- Joe Allison, former CEO of Stratasys Direct Manufacturing
- Hugh Evans, former senior vice president of corporate development for 3D Systems
“Investors recognize the paradigm shifting and disruptive nature of Azul’s proprietary HARP 3D printing technology,” said Chad Mirkin, Azul 3D cofounder and chair. “HARP’s throughput allows Azul to substantially lower the upfront and sustained costs in the manufacturing of goods, spanning many sectors. The company intends to secure major partnerships validating this point in the very near future.”
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues on in the US and worldwide, Azul 3D has been involved in 3D printing medical face shields. Currently, the company can produce 1,000 parts every 12 hours per HARP printer. The PPE is being used by hospitals, prisons and first responders. The Azul 3D team is expecting to make twice as many shields once their new printers are launched within the next 18 months.
Azul 3D emerged from a research group at Northwestern University upon developing the proprietary HARP technology, a futuristic technique offering powerful on-demand manufacturing capable of printing a part or prototype the size of a human—in just two hours. HARP printers are 13 feet tall, with a 2.5 square footprint bed, and are capable of producing half a yard of material.
3D printing is controlled thermally with a mobile liquid interface allowing for continuous and rapid print process.
“One of the reasons we’re doing so well is because our technology offers a solution to unexpected surges in demand and supply-chain bottlenecks that occur during global crises, such as in the current pandemic,” said David Walker, Azul 3D cofounder and chief technology officer. “With the ability to manufacture nearly anything quickly and on demand, we can meet these unexpected needs as they arise to quickly fill gaps in the supply chain.
“That’s the big difference between HARP and traditional manufacturing as well as many other forms of 3D printing, which either don’t have the throughput or material properties to meet the required specifications. We don’t have to change a whole assembly line or machine new molds. The concerns that accompany a stressed supply chain simply vanish.”
The first series of beta HARP 3D printers will be shipping early next year, meant to be used in a variety of different applications and supply chains.
Find out more about the unique HARP process here, as well as at Azul 3D.

There have been a few scattered efforts to leverage crowd-sourced self-reporting of symptoms as a way to potentially predict and chart the progress of COVID-19 across the U.S., and around the world. A new effort looks like the most comprehensive, well-organized and credibly backed yet -- and it has been developed in part by Pinterest co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann. Silbermann and a team from Pinterest enlisted the help of high school friend, and CRISPR gene-editing pioneer / MIT and Harvard Broad Institute member, Dr. Feng Zhang to build what Silbermann termed in a press release a "bridge between citizens and scientists."
The COVID-19 outbreak has led to record Pinterest usage as people stuck at home have increased their searches for things like lesson plans, kids' crafts, new recipes and gardening ideas. Last weekend, for example, Pinterest saw more searches and saves globally than any other weekend in its history. In light of the increased demand, Pinterest has moved up the launch of its Today tab -- a new feature designed to offer a source of daily inspiration.
Today we'll do a simple run through of a valuation method used to estimate the attractiveness of Pinterest, Inc...
Pinterest is bringing on a new board member. The company announced today it has appointed Gokul Rajaram, Caviar lead at soon-to-go-public DoorDash, to its board of directors and as a member of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The addition signals Pinterest's desire to bring more digital advertising expertise to its board, given Rajaram's experience as product director of Ads at Facebook and product management director at Google AdSense.
Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE: PINS) today announced that it has appointed Gokul Rajaram, Caviar Lead at DoorDash, to its Board of Directors and as a member of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee effective today.
When it comes to the so-called "consumerization of the enterprise," a workplace tool that looks an awful lot like Pinterest seems like it would be the trend's final form. Brooklyn-based Air is building a digital asset manager for communications teams that aren't satisfied with more general cloud storage options and want something that can show off visual files with a bit more pizzazz. The startup tells TechCrunch that they have closed $6 million in funding led by Lerer Hippeau .

The company also beat estimates for average revenue per user and provided a bullish 2020 sales forecast as measures like adding augmented reality features to its platform and expanding into markets like Denmark, Norway and Switzerland attracted more users. Total revenue jumped 46% to $400 million in the fourth quarter, while monthly active users climbed 26% to 335 million globally. Financial analysts tracked by Refinitiv had expected revenue of $371.2 million, while user additions were projected at 331.3 million by market research firm FactSet.
(Bloomberg) -- Pinterest Inc. posted revenue and user growth that beat analysts’ estimates for the fourth quarter, citing new advertisers and greater engagement in the holiday season. Shares gained about 12% in extended trading.Sales at the digital search and scrapbooking company rose 46% to about $400 million, better than the $371 million consensus analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford has dealt a blow to the People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA) movement by becoming spokeswoman for fur giant
Ten years ago, the former wife of Richard Gere posed for PETA's 'I'd
rather go naked than wear fur' campaign, but has followed in Naomi Campbell's
footsteps by wearing fur again.
EDWARD BRENNAN, CEO of AMERICAN LEGEND, the marketing cooperative behind
Blackglama, told American magazine WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY that Crawford modeled
five coats for their recent campaign.
He says, "She can have anyone she wants. I hope she took all five."

Back in January, we heard that the top technology manufacturer from China is working upon making a 55-inch TV under its sub-brand Honor. Now in the latest development in this regard, it seems that the awaited products have passed through certification with model numbers OSCA-550 / OSCA-550A which represent a 55-inch and 65-inch display which got certified by China’s National Quality Certification center.
Both of these TV’s have the OLED panels from Hefei BOE Video Technology company which is China’s leading company in the LCD manufacturing business. The same company also provides LCDs for Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P30 Pro as well.
Previously surfaced reports also suggested that Huawei might be bringing forward 5G 8K TVs soon and it’s yet remained to be seen whether the newly certified TV models would offer 5G and 8K technology. Huawei is quite determined to sell 10 million units of TVs each year and the unique selling point could be the social media integration, games, and dominantly dual camera support.
Interestingly, the 5G support would empower the TV units to allow video streaming without having to have a cable connection for internet or may that be a Wi-Fi. Are you excited to see the upcoming Huawei TVs? Let us know in the comment section below.

Dixons Carphone axes 800 jobs as part of a reshuffle with shop managers replaced by 'customer experience' specialists
- Dixons Carphone will axe roles like retail managers, assistant managers
- New roles will include sales manager and operational excellence manager
- These changes will result in an overall reduction of 800 roles,
Electricals retailer Dixons Carphone will cut 800 jobs as part of a store management shake-up as it adapts to a shift towards more online sales.
The company, which received £16million from the furlough scheme, said it will axe roles like retail managers, assistant managers and team leaders.
The owner of Currys PC World will introduce instead new roles such as sales manager, customer experience manager and operational excellence manager. But these changes will result in an overall reduction of 800 roles, it said.
Currys PC World owner Dixons Carphone is to cut 800 jobs (Yui Mok/PA)
It comes as Pizza Express also today revealed it could shut 67 of its UK restaurants with up to 1,100 jobs at risk, while Hays Travel said it would cut up to 878 jobs out of a total workforce of 4,500.
Dixons Carphone's chief operating officer, Mark Allsop, said: 'This proposal will ensure in-store roles are focused on giving a seamless customer experience and exceptional service across all our customer channels, whether online or in-store.
'Sadly, this proposal means we have now entered into consultation with some of our store colleagues.'
'This was not an easy decision and we'll do everything possible to look after those colleagues we can't find new roles for, financially and otherwise.'
Earlier this month, Dixons Carphone axed its final dividend after annual profits more than halved and warned of 'weakening' spending later this year.
The dividend last year was worth £52.5million.
Dixons Carphone shares closed 6.5 per cent higher at 79p on Tuesday.

Saatchi & Saatchi scoops consolidated Everything Everywhere business
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 23 August 2012 10:30AM
Everything Everywhere is consolidating its advertising account into Publicis Groupe's Saatchi & Saatchi.
Everything Everywhere, the parent company, is set to drop the Orange and T-Mobile brands in 2013, and Orange's £43 million advertising account will leave the sister Publicis shop Fallon.
The combined spend for Orange and T-Mobile is expected to support a new Everything Everywhere consumer brand, to be handled by Saatchis, which holds T-Mobile's £42 million advertising account.
Saatchis is working on the estimated £100 million launch for the new Everything Everywhere brand.
The launch campaign, to be released in October, is set to be the biggest of its kind in the telecoms category since O2 was unveiled ten years ago.
The campaign is believed to star the actor Kevin Bacon and was filmed in Lewes, Sussex earlier this month, according to a report in the Sussex Express.
Last week, Everything Everywhere won the right to roll out the UK's first 4G mobile internet service in September. Everything Everywhere will introduce the new brand name at launch.
The company denies that Orange and T-Mobile will be dropped and says that the new brand will not compete with their propositions.
Saatchis was unavailable for comment.
Orange accounts for 10 per cent of Fallon's income. The brand first consolidated its advertising business into the agency in 2008 when Orange moved its £10 million Gold Spot ad account from Mother into Fallon without a pitch. Fallon already handled the rest of the brand's above-the-line business.

Chongqing- Recently, Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle Jiangbei District image exhibition center, located in Jiangbeizui, Chongqing, opened. This is also Chongqing’s first exhibition center themed as Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. The exhibition focuses on display the achievements of industrial cooperation and commercial exchanges between enterprises and institutions in Jiangbei District and the Chengdu-Chongqing area.
The exhibition center covers an area of 1,862 square meters. The center uses modern digital display technology and big data intelligent technology to comprehensively and intuitively display the city image, historical evolution, and industrial foundation of Jiangbei District through graphic materials, immersive cinema, and AR interaction.
The exhibition center also used digital technology to display some cooperation projects between Jiangbei District and Sichuan Province. For example, the immersive cinema displays that Jiangbei and Bazhong of Sichuan Province signed a strategic cooperation agreement on sister cities. Both sides will give full play to their comparative advantages, such as the rich in natural resources and unique industrial advantages in Bazhong and advanced social governance and smart manufacture and talents resource in Jiangbei. The two-sister city will combine the advantages to promote interactive development.
On April 23, at the meeting, Jiangbei District made it clear that it would strive to create a “demonstration area” for the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.
In 2019, the region’s GDP reached 124 billion yuan, an increase of 8 percent. The economic growth rate has been above 8% for ten consecutive quarters, and the total tax revenue has reached 23.89 billion yuan, ranking first in Chongqing.
In the first quarter of 2020, Jiangbei’s GDP reached 28.74 billion yuan, with the lowest decrease of 1.4%. The value-added of the financial sector increased by 10.7%, and the actual utilization of foreign capital reached $187 million, up 24.98% year on year. During the May Day holiday, key enterprises in Guanyinqiao business district realized sales of 234.54 million yuan, with an average daily flow of more than 600,000 person-times, showing signs of recovery in the consumer market.
At present, Jiangbei is accelerating a series of cooperation projects between Sichuan and Chongqing. On March 27, Jiangbei District and Sino- Ocean group launched an online video link to review the new landmark project and accelerate to build an “upgraded version of Taikoo Li” in Jiangbei.
On April 22, Jiangbei district and Bank of Cheng held a ceremony of online signing of strategic cooperation agreement via Internet video link. This is the first financial cooperation agreement signed between Sichuan and Chongqing.
In the first quarter of this year, Jiangbei signed ten formal contract projects, involving an investment of 40.398 billion yuan. COFCO, Xiaomi Consumer Finance, and Savills have settled in Jiangbei. At present, Jiangbei is stepping up its connection with Guang’ an Suining, Luzhou, Deyang, Neijiang, and Qingyang District and Dayi County of Chengdu to establish strategic cooperative relations of regional coordinated development and sister cities.
How will Jiangbei construct the “demonstration zone” of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle? One official of Jiangbei District said it would rely on the development space and industrial layout of the five aspects to support. Relying on Jiangbeizui, we will build an inland international financial center and build a western financial center. Based on the Guanyinqiao business district and Beibin road economic belt, it supports the construction of an international consumption center city. Based on Yufu industrial development zone and the Gangcheng industrial park, it supports the innovation and development of intelligent manufacturing and biomedical technology. Based on the China-Singapore (Chongqing) demonstration project on strategic connectivity to support the development of an open inland highland. Based on the promotion and upgrading of Changjiahui Scenic Spot, located in the Jiangbeizui area, it supports promoting Chongqing’s waterfront view.
