Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson has suggested that a number of EA franchises could enter the eSports arena, and not just those with a sporting angle.
"When we've just come off franchise reviews I looked at a number of properties that we're doing that certainly have an eSports focus to it," he told Red Bull, a company with strong ties to the the eSports scene.
"As a company, we believe this is something that's going to continue to grow. We have some ready-made franchises for this in our sports properties, but we also have a number of other franchises that people may not typically think about as eSports opportunities, but we think there might be an opportunity in the future, so it's something that you're going to see more of from us."
eSports is a huge area of growth for the industry, but still seen as niche by many. Last week Wargaming said it would invest $10 million in eSports this year, but Major League Gaming president Mike Sepso admitted it was often still tricky to get advertisers interested.

American Airlines domestic flights equipped with ViaSat satellite internet will offer free access to Apple Music starting Friday. Apparently American is really just acquiring customers for Apple Music, selling you a three month free trial. Always remember you’re the product, not the customer.
To enjoy Apple Music during flight, customers on Viasat-equipped aircraft can connect to Wi-Fi at no cost and log in with their Apple Music subscription. Customers who don’t already have an Apple Music subscription will be able to connect to Wi-Fi at no cost, sign up onboard and receive free access for three months. Apple Music is available on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, Apple TV, PC, Android, CarPlay, HomePod, Sonos and Amazon Echo.
A three month trial is, after all, the standard Apple Music offer. You don’t even get a better deal on Apple Music signing up inflight. The only thing really going on here is ‘whitelisting’ — you don’t have to buy internet to get access to this.
American is in the process of rolling out high speed satellite internet across its domestic fleet split between Gogo and ViaSat, with more ViaSat equipment than Gogo equipment. The international fleet has slow Panasonic satellite service. Apple Music whitelisting is on ViaSat-equipped planes only.
- What this means is that the Apple Music streaming service will be offered on Boeing 737s Airbus A321s, and legacy American A319s since those are the planes getting ViaSat internet, many of which already have it.
- In contrast legacy US Airways A319s and A320s get Gogo’s 2Ku satellite internet and will not have this service, and American’s 757s and widebodies will not have this service either.
American has been rolling out live TV across its fleet though streaming movies tend to be older content and don’t match what’s offered through seat back video screens — that American is moving away from. They also walked away from their announced promise of free texting.
I really do value the functional internet American is rolling out quickly across its domestic narrowbody fleet. Here they’re competitive with Delta, and both are legions ahead of United whose internet rarely works in my experience.

A flurry of Activity Along Fifth Avenue’s prime retail stretch has a wave of newcomers moving into prime locales, while longtime mainstays revamp flagship stores or move into their own new digs.
Blancpain, a luxury offshoot of Swiss watchmaker Swatch Group, has inked a deal for 2,500 square feet of retail space in clothier Gant’s Olympic Tower space at 645 Fifth Avenue. The terms of the new lease were not specified, but retail rates along the avenue between 49th and 58th streets can reportedly run as high as $3,000 per square foot for ground-floor space.
Luxury jeweler Cartier has a new space in the works in the former CBS studio in the GM Building. The high-end retailer will reside in that building while renovating its longtime flagship at 653 Fifth Avenue at 52nd Street, where it recently signed a 25-year renewal. Also in the GM Building, toymaker FAO Schwarz’s lease is set to expire in 2017 and the 60,000 space is already on the market for sublet.
Clothier Ralph Lauren is also on the move, set to move into the former home of Disney in the Coca Cola-owned 711 Fifth Avenue. Designer Valentino is also setting up a new home in Takashimaya’s former 20,000 square foot space at Thor Equities’ 693 Fifth Avenue, between 54th and 55th streets. Meanwhile, H&M will soon move two blocks south from Vornado’s 640 Fifth Avenue to 589 Fifth Avenue. [NYP, 2nd item] — Julie Strickland

Officials in New York state asked Apple on Monday to change its iPhone design to allow consumers to replace their own batteries, just days after lawyers in Illinois filed a class-action lawsuit over the same complaint.

LYNWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- Shopping at dollar stores is one way to stretch your budget, but a new discount store in Lynwood that lowers its prices every day is creating quite the buzz.
People looking for a bargain have been standing and sitting in long lines for up to an hour waiting to get into Daily Prices.
When asked if it was worth the wait, South Gate resident Hector Ochoa said definitely.
"I bought one of those gloves for the oven, the silicon kind. It only cost a quarter," he said.
The store opens every week on Thursdays and everything in the store is only $6. On Fridays, the price drops to $4, Saturdays $3, Sundays $2, Mondays $1, and on Tuesdays everything inside Daily Prices is 25 cents.
The store is closed on Wednesdays to restock with brand new inventory for the following week.
"I've tried going to a place that's similar to this, but the only one I've ever found was all the way in San Jose, which is about 300 miles away," said Long Beach resident Gerado Talavera.
The 15,000 square foot store is filled with everything from clothing, to shoes, bedding, kitchen appliances and toys for the kids.
"Yeah, it's a really good idea, especially for the community that we're in. Because a lot of people right now cannot afford certain items that are in the store," said Anna Cabrera of Lynwood.
Daily Prices is open Thursday through Monday, 10 a.m-7 p.m., and on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The store is located at 10801 Long Beach Blvd. in Lynwood.
This Lynwood discount store sells everything for 25 cents on Tuesdays

Uber launches in Pakistan, prioritizes rider safety
Uber rolled out its uberGo service in Lahore on Wednesday, which is the app’s cheapest ride option offering chauffeur-driven hatchbacks. The uberGO service also allows riders to share their estimated time of arrival or a map with others to track their location.
Safe and reliable public transportation has long been an issue in Pakistan, particularly for women and places constraints on their mobility and ability to travel to and from their work places, according to a 2015 International Labor Organization report.
This will go a long way in assuaging the fears of women riding in private driver services like Uber, especially in countries where such concerns are prevalent.

Facebook revamps News Feed to prioritise live videos
Facebook has altered its News Feed algorithm to give preference to live videos, explaining that users are now spending three times longer watching live video in comparison to an archived stream. The new concept aims to seamlessly unite live video and your timeline together cough Persicope cough. Some publishers have already welcomed the news – Huffington Post has said it will live streaming election coverage on Facebook instead of its website because that way it’s easier to interact with its correspondents. Additionally, brands who have previously said they’re more likely to use Periscope when live streaming may be swayed over now Facebook automatically pushes these videos to the top. RIP Periscope? RIP my data allowance!
Facebook Messenger partners with Spotify
Remember the days when Facebook Messenger was used purely as a messaging platform? These days you can use it to order an Uber, chat to brands directly and now, share your awful taste in music. iOS and Android users can now share songs, artists or playlists that they are listening to by selecting the Spotify option in the ‘more’ section on Messenger. Once your friend taps the link, they’ll be ferried over to Spotify where they can cast judgment. Instead of sending screenshots or typing out song names (what a chore!), it aims to inspire deep conversations about music, boosting engagement for both Spotify and Messenger.
WhatsApp introduces support for document sharing
With over one billion monthly active users, WhatsApp is the big daddy of colloquial messaging, however on a professional basis it lacked a key functionality. So, last week, WhatsApp added a document sharing feature; it currently only recognises PDF files – great for e-tickets and scans – but it also lets you link to download files from iCloud and Dropbox. The move demonstrates WhatsApp’s plans to monetize the service in a business environment.
Instagram blocks deep linking in bios
If you had a link to your Snapchat in your Instagram bio, like many celebrities and 13-year-old girls, it’s not going work anymore. That’s because Instagram is ‘flexing its platform muscle’ and getting rid of deep links to Snapchat and Telegram within the app. Instagram spokesperson stated that it is “not the way our platform was intended to be used. Other types of links are still allowed.” That’s good news if you want to share links to blogs, websites and YouTube pages.
Facebook’s photo-sharing Moments app now supports video too
Introduced last June, Facebook’s Moments app was an easier way to share photos with friends and family. Now, a new update has widened Moments’ scope to include video sharing. Alongside the news of the new video feature, Facebook took the opportunity to share the success of Moments, with a whopping 400 million photos shared since its launch. Legend has it that before the days of Facebooking, Tweetering and Snapchatting, people shared moments face to face. It’s probably just a myth.
Snapchat reaches eight billion views per day
Eight billion. Eight. Billion. To break that down for you, that’s more than the population of Earth… and four times more than video-views-per-day figures that Snapchat released last May. It’s a big number. With its eight billion video views a day tally, Snapchat matches, at least on paper, Facebook’s daily video views. Snapchat also revealed that its 100 million daily users are spending an average of 30 minutes each day on the platform, with over half of new joiners being over the age of 25. Snapchat was unavailable to comment on their success; we can only assume that they’re too busy projectile vomiting rainbows.
11th March: Snapchat Day
Snapchat is teaming up with Major League Baseball to launch the first ever Snapchat Day (yes, really). Usually, MLB policies forbids the use of social media during regular and postseason but this year, Snapchat Day will see content broadcast from players and teams for all to see. This multi-year partnership will see the app cover a series of games and events throughout the series and users can even add individual teams for exclusive behind-the-scenes footage. Snapchat will benefit from ad revenue the partnership content pulls in, and MLB will attract a younger fan base. I’m personally holding out hope for a Snapchat Day public holiday.
LinkedIn launches targeting ad feature
LinkedIn now allows businesses to target ads to specific companies that they’re actually trying to reach, by running native ads through Sponsored updates or Sponsored InMail campaigns. The feature, aptly named ‘Account targeting’, allows marketers to provide a list of up to 30,000 companies they wish to target. LinkedIn then completes the nitty-gritty checks to see which of those are amongst the 8 million companies using LinkedIn before targeting their pages, on top of matching certain criteria such as seniority. According to Lindsey Edwards, senior product manager for LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, there have been promising results so far, with customers investing increasing amounts.
Apple finally joins Twitter
About time, guys! As of last week, you can now communicate with Apple on Twitter, by using their new customer service handle @AppleSupport. The account, which seeks to “provide tips, tricks and helpful information when you need it most”, racked up an enviable 24,000 followers within two hours. Although Apple has dabbled in Twitter handles before for specific products like iTunes and Apple Music, their new strategy highlights the importance of using as many channels for customer service as possible. Time to bombard @AppleSupport with all the questions I’m too lazy to Google.
Is there truly no such thing as bad publicity for businesses?
Timely responses to customers’ feedback tend to be a hallmark for good community management, but serving it with a dose of passive-aggressiveness might not be the best idea. Two Singaporean eateries, Crab in da Bag and Lavastone Steakhouse, were recently caught in a PR storm due to their replies to poor reviews left by their customers.
A Crab in da Bag customer, Joan Soon left a poor review on the page:
Which was followed up with this reply:
To which the customer replied:
However, Crab in da Bag seems adamant that they have done their best, much to the dismay of other customers :
Similarly, Lavastone Steakhouse‘s responses to poor reviews left some of its customers amused and flabbergasted, with the owner going one step further to name and shame the reviewer:
So is there such a thing as bad publicity? We’ll leave you to decide on that 😉

Star Wars at Changi Airport: Chatter of the Jedis
Walt Disney has partnered with Changi Airport, fuelling anticipation for the 7th film installment. The campaign consists of a life-sized everything (X-wing fighter, Stormtrooper figurines, R2-D2), sale of exclusive merchandise and photo opportunities with key characters. Visitors can also navigate through a playhouse, inspired by the Hardangerjokulen Glacier.
Holy sith, that is tremendous effort – but where does social fit in the marketing mix and has this translated into online buzz?
(Source: Sysomos Map)
Not bad, there were a total of 11.8K mentions in the period of October and November. Many geo-tagged their visits, made special trips for the exhibit, and were excited when Changi received international recognition. We like this – organic conversations, shareability and an extension of positive sentiment into a sense of pride for the country.

Brands Amongst Top 3 Interests of HK Instagrammers
Nielsen Audience Research recently conducted an “Instagrammers in Hong Kong” study, which revealed some key findings:
The majority of Hong Kong Instagrammers are between ages 18-34, have high spending power, and listed brands as their top 3 areas of interest. In fact, 1 out of 2 Hong Kong users follow brands on Instagram. Female users resonate with fashion and beauty, while male users are generally trend-conscious.
Mixed reactions to terrorism tweets by Call of Duty in Singapore
This isn’t quite the case of a PR stunt gone completely wrong, but it wouldn’t be a far cry to say that video game developer Call of Duty may have lost a few fans because of its latest Twitter campaign in Singapore.
The video game developer came under intense fire after tweeting a series of “War Of The World” style tweets describing key locations in Singapore coming under attack.
Some called it offensive, others said it was done in bad taste.
However, there were some who responded positively.
The Twitter campaign was built to stir anticipation ahead of the release for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, which is set in Singapore in 2065. The Call of Duty team has decided to keep the original tweets, asserting that they were purely promotional.
Meet Digital Green, the Youtube for rural India and Sub-Saharan Africa
Guess what Facebook? You’re not the only one in the business of connecting developing nations with the rest of the world.
Digital Green is a New Delhi-based non-governmental organisation that works with other NGOs and development boards to bring video technology and sharing to rural communities in India and Sub-Saharan Africa. They are taught to record their own videos, which they then use to share and learn about issues like agriculture, health practices, nutrition and social issues. Village leaders then organise community events where these videos are screened and shared with their local communities.
Digital Green currently works with around 600,000 individuals across 5,000 villages in India. 85 percent of these people are women. The site currently has over 330 video collections, with some holding up to 20 videos.
Instagram blames Apple for anti-nudity stance
The finger pointing has begun. Following the blowup over the recent #FreeTheNipple campaign, Instagram is blaming Apple for their strict anti-nudity stance to pull down posts showing women’s nipples. Instagram has complained that their age ratings are restrictive, and this was set by Apple, not the Instagram team.
While photographs of women’s nipples of women were deleted, the men’s were not, igniting an online outrage. A handful of celebrities threw their support behind the campaign, with some even posting topless photos of themselves.

Spotify Hongkong Launches First Gig Series in Style
With over 20 million subscribers, Spotify is a household name in the online streaming industry. Now the company has taken music offline, in a suspicious move toward world domination.
Found the Sound is the brainchild of Spotify and Fashion Walk – delivering live music for shoppers at Causeway Bay, Hongkong. Sunita Kar, Managing Director of Spotify Asia, explained how ‘music and lifestyle go hand in hand’. The event series allows engagement with Hongkong shoppers, as well as the delivery of experiences beyond a digital platform.
With an emphasis on lifestyle and experiences, Spotify has taken a page out of social thinking. It is people who make brands social, not platforms.

Payments apps are fast realizing that the holy grail to success in their industry might be a whole different industry by itself — chat.
After Paytm, Google Tez has also introduced a chat option within its app. Tez will now have a dedicated chat button that will sit next to the ”Pay” and “Request” buttons on its app, and users will be able to send messages to other users. Users will also be able to block any of their contacts, and also disable a particular chat thread.
The feature has been rolled out to a limited number of devices (we weren’t able to find someone who had it enabled), but Google confirmed the development to Gadgets 360. “We’ve added a feature to Tez that allows you to send simple messages back and forth to your contacts about the payments you make,” a Google spokesperson said. Two users will be able to use the chat only if both of them have had the feature rolled out on their apps.
It’s not hard to see where the inspiration for this chat feature has come from — WhatsApp recently launched its own UPI payments product, and it was apparent to many people that this was likely going to be the future of payments going forward. WhatsApp had reimagined a payment as an attachment that you could send on chat, and millions of Indians, who’re already used to sending photos and videos on WhatsApp, would presumably find it easy to graduate to sending money through its app.
Paytm, to its credit, had seen the signs early. As rumours of WhatsApp’s payments launch had become stronger last year, it had launched Paytm Inbox, a feature which integrated chat into its own app. Paytm Inbox had got off to a fast start, with the company claiming that 15 million messages had been sent through its platform within the first 3 days of its launch. Paytm Inbox, though, hasn’t quite managed to become mainstream just yet. It now remains to be seen how Google Tez will fare — Google has no shortage of messaging apps, with the company running, in parallel, Google Hangouts, Google Allo and Google Duo. With Tez joining the fray, Google will present its users with yet another chat option.
But it might be hard to unseat WhatsApp. Users flow downstream from high-frequency use cases to low frequency use-cases — people already open WhatsApp several times a day to check messages from friends and family; it’s much easier to get them to also complete payments on their app. What Paytm and Google Tez are attempting is the opposite — they already have payments in place, and are now trying to get users to use the high-frequency chats. It isn’t the most natural way for use-cases to flow, but given how WhatsApp has already aggressively launched its own payments option, other payments players have no option but to try to compete.

With the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. exploding past 53,000, the coronavirus stimulus package has finally been agreed by Congress. At $2 trillion, it’s the largest economic stimulus program in US history, and has even been described as a “wartime level of investment”.
Whether you’re an individual, a small business, or a large corporation, there’s something in the stimulus package to help nearly every corner of the economy.
How and when will the money be distributed?
Final details are yet to be worked out, but here’s what the major provisions of the package look like right now:
Direct Help for Individuals
For individuals, the centerpiece of the stimulus package will be checks that will be sent directly to households. The package is allocating $250 billion for direct payments to individuals and families.
That provision calls for $1,200 to be distributed to every adult in the country. A couple can expect to receive two checks totaling $2,400. An additional $500 will be sent for each qualifying child in the household.
However, payments will be subject to income limits. Based on either 2018 or 2019 income levels, payments will be either reduced or eliminated by income.
Single taxpayers will receive the full $1,200 with an income up to $75,000. The payment will be subject to a 5% phaseout, in which an $85,000 income will reduce the payment by $500, dropping it down to $700. At $99,000, the payment will completely disappear, as 5% of the $24,000 in excess income will bring the payment to zero.
For married couples filing jointly, the full payment of $2,400 will be paid on combined incomes up to $150,000. The payments will similarly be phased out at a rate of 5% on incomes exceeding that threshold. It will completely disappear with a combined income of $198,000.
Undisclosed Program Details
No guidance has been provided on whether or not the $500 payments to qualifying dependent children will be affected by income limits.
As the bill has not yet been published in its final, official form, there’s no indication if income will be determined by gross income, adjusted gross income, modified adjusted gross income, or some other formula. It’s also not clear whether taxpayers will have the option to choose their 2018 or 2019 tax returns for qualification, nor if that determination will be made by the IRS or some other government agency.
Also unclear is whether or not payments will be sent to those with no income, since the formula will be based on filed income tax returns. However earlier versions of the package indicated a minimum payment of $600, even for those with no federal income tax liability.
No specific distribution timetable – or method of payment – has been disclosed as yet, but President Trump has declared he wants the checks to go out as soon as possible. However, at a White House press conference Wednesday evening it was announced the payments will be directed deposited in “three weeks”, or sent by check for those who don’t have bank accounts.
The Unemployment Supplement
With millions of American workers temporarily furloughed and forced to collect unemployment benefits, this may be the most important provision of the stimulus package. And if you are unemployed, there’s a lot of good news here.
The stimulus package is authorizing $250 billion in unemployment insurance benefits. It will provide four months of unemployment benefits, which will also include self-employed workers. Though details have yet to be released, the package includes a provision to add an extra $600 per week in benefits for the average worker.
No payment limits have been disclosed, but there have been suggestions average workers will see 100% replacement of lost wages.
Those unemployment payments in the stimulus package are over-and-above unemployment benefits provided at the state level. The additional benefit is designed to enable average laid-off workers to receive their full pay for up to four months.
But in one of the most interesting provisions of the package, those unemployment benefits will also extend to gig workers, contractors and other workers deemed to be self-employed. This is a significant addition, since an estimated 57 million people are employed in the gig economy. No details have been provided to confirm exactly how gig worker or self-employment income will be calculated for unemployment purposes.
In addition, no details have been provided on how the additional unemployment supplement will affect the many workers whose hours have been greatly reduced and do not qualify as fully unemployed – or even if such workers will even qualify for unemployment benefits at all.
Provisions for Small Businesses
Though details are scarce, the stimulus bill allocates $350 billion in small business loans.
The most specific detail in the provision is for $10 billion for the Small Business Administration (SBA) to guarantee loans to small businesses so they can make payroll and service their debts.
The purpose of the remaining $340 billion earmarked for small business loans isn’t spelled out in the plan details that have been released thus far. There’s also speculation as to whether those funds will be available as either loans or grants.
Also included in the package is an employee retention tax credit expected to be worth $50 billion. It will be available for companies to keep employees and cover at least 50% of their paychecks. Players will also be able to defer payment on the Social Security payroll tax.
Other Provisions of the Stimulus Package
Beyond direct help for individuals and small businesses, the stimulus package is full of goodies for large businesses and various sectors of the economy.
Here are the highlights:
- $500 billion in loans for distressed companies, with the details yet to be disclosed.
- $50 billion in loans for airlines are included in the $500 billion figure above.
- $130 billion for hospitals.
- $150 billion for state and local governments to help them deal with the fiscal fallout of the coronavirus.
The plan specifically prohibits loans and other benefits made to businesses owned by the president, vice president, members of Congress and heads of executive departments.
There’s plenty in this stimulus package for the American people as well as businesses small and large. But the details are very limited at the moment, and will probably be dispersed slowly over the coming days and weeks. It’s even possible some of the provisions will be significantly altered as the final details are hammered into more workable programs.
But this is what we know at the moment, and I’ll be updating this article as new information develops. Stay tuned.

– The U.S. auto industry curtains 2018 later sales of 17.3 million extra vehicles, which stress expectations, but the face for 2019 is uncertain. along with the twists and turns upon the road ahead are the fallout of a slowdown in China and in the U.S., the overhang of tariff wars, the impact of other technologies such as driverless vehicles, and the preferences of millennial and Gen Z consumers, which will drive superior demand. Thrifty Car Rental Coupons Canada
If the in the same way as year proverb tree-plant closures and layoffs at companies such as General Motors, the industry heads into 2019 taking into consideration more investments, alliances and forays into electric vehicles and further newer technologies. even though the industry began the year upon a tepid note taking into account an acknowledged sales stop in January, it does not intention auto companies wont ride out any bumps, according to experts at Wharton and elsewhere. Thrifty Car Rental Coupons Canada
Long and Winding Road
Pros and cons exist for each of the factors influencing the U.S. automobile industry, remarks Wharton doling out professor John Paul McDuffie, who is plus director of the Program upon Vehicle and Mobility development at the schools Mack Institute for go forward Management.
For each one there could be a definite spin and definite angle on it, and a negative spin and a negative angle upon it, McDuffie said. He wise saying the industry facing a decent amount of uncertainty, and that he was neither optimistic nor doomsayer more or less the year ahead. We stimulate in engaging times, turbulent times.

MacDuffie believes the auto industry is dealing with a broader range of issues than he has encountered in the many years he has studied the industry. He sour to technological changes, electric and autonomous vehicles, the current let pass of trade and the threats of tariffs. upon the tariffs front, the U.S. auto industry is bracing for unconventional duties on steel and aluminum imports after April, similar to a 90-day interruption of forward-looking tariffs by the U.S. on imports from China expires. The industry is then anxious virtually the impact of tariffs that President Trump has threatened to impose on car imports from the European Union.
Concerns loom practically the strength of various economies the U.S. and China in particular. As big a event as the tariff risk is the risk of Chinas economy slowing exaggeration down, said MacDuffie. The Chinese announce has been the main engine for many of the global automakers, he added. I incredulity what its following to be a senior paperwork in these auto companies and have to agreement in imitation of this incredible difficulty and this incredible uncertainty.
Paul Eisenstein, publisher and editor of TheDetroitBureau.com, a broadcast focused upon the automobile industry, noted that even if the consensus was that 2018 would be a year of decline in the U.S. promote and China would ensue slower than it had in next years, exactly the opposite happened. The U.S. actually gained, albeit by just a hairs breadth in 2018, and China posted its first grow less that weve seen before the explosion of that puff put up to on the subject of the point of view of the additional millennium, he said. Most people expect that China will rebound a little bit this [year] and the U.S. make public will over slow.
Above all, much depends on President Trumps actions, said Eisenstein. He is continuing to chat about ramping going on his trade wars, he noted. The industry is preparing for the consequences of some key negotiations such as those amongst the U.S. and the European Union, he added.
MacDuffie and Eisenstein shared their insights on the emerging terrain for U.S. auto industry for a series titled 2019: A look Ahead upon the [email protected] radio achievement on Sirius XM. (Listen to the podcast at the summit of this page.)
Tesla Plugs into China
One automaker that is bullish on China even as the country grapples later an economic slowdown is Tesla, which is planning to construct a factory there. Tesla is always out there at the dangerous edge of something, said MacDuffie, noting that it wants to build a new factory in China even as its own finances are stretched. upon the extra hand, he barbed out that Tesla is the first foreign company that China has allowed to build a tree-plant upon its own without a Chinese joint venture partner. That means less unplanned of knowledge leakage and having to portion suggestion [with Chinese firms or the Chinese government]. But it along with means the risk is not shared anymore.
Also encouraging for Tesla is the fact that the Chinese management is pushing on several fronts to be the biggest electric vehicle make known in the world, MacDuffie said. They have a lot of levers at their direct to make that happen, including being competent to require that foreign automakers make a lot of electric vehicles to sell there. So, its not appropriately risky for [Tesla founder] Elon Musk to figure that in building faculty there, there will be demand for electric vehicles. The $2 billion project could start selling its cars by as to come as the second half of this year, according to a Quartz checking account that cited Chinese running officials.
At the similar time, many Chinese startups that have arrive in to try to compete at the tall end of the electric vehicle broadcast have struggled, MacDuffie said. He sharp to Faraday superior as one of those. It had seemed to be amply financed and had a lot of fine talent, and theyve had nothing but trouble. So, its a dangerous bet to make that big of an investment [as Tesla is planning in China]. But as a bet upon a make public thats going to have electric vehicle demand, it is not suitably much [of a risk].

Eisenstein noted that consensus is growing in the auto industry that electrification is the showing off of the future. though global sales of all electric vehicles, including hybrids, plug-ins and fixed idea battery electric vehicles nevertheless direct under the 5% mark, you look a determined and increasingly sharp upward curve that tells you that you avoid the electric present electrification at your own peril, he said. China is an attractive push for electric vehicles, he added, noting that it has introduced rules that will require automakers to fabricate a minimum level of plug-in models that can put it on in determined conditions in zero emissions mode. Thrifty Car Rental Coupons Canada
Similar regulations are furthermore normal in the U.S. in 2025 subsequently additional fuel economy standards, although the Trump administration has said it would roll them back, said Eisenstein. He sour to several undertakings by U.S. automakers to diversify into electric vehicles. One is Ford Motors billboard that it will creation an all-electric financial credit of its F series pickup, which Eisenstein said is the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. General Motors is as well as planning all-electric versions of the Chevrolet Silverado and the Sierra, he added, referencing his explanation upon the development.
U.S. Auto Investments: Divergent Trends
While some U.S. automakers are bitter assist aptitude at plants that no longer bring in the desired revenues and profits, their foreign counterparts are making well-ventilated investments. A skirmish in reduction is the decision General Motors made last November to close five plants in North America, lay off some 14,000 workers, and retire six of its 15 car models. The GM move wasnt a big wonder if you usefully looked at how much the demand for the products made in those nature had slowed way down more than a era of a couple of years, and the general shift away from sedans to SUVs, said MacDuffie. The hard-won penetration is that its better to create these cuts in fine times than wait for bad time and in the manner of you may have actually made them worse. He normal such adjustment of employment to the market demand to continue.
For the foreign auto companies, the U.S. is still the biggest shout out in the world, neighboring to China, said MacDuffie. To arrive here, to construct here, to construct brand here, and to construct reputation here nevertheless makes sense. That logic explains Volkswagens imitate to invest $800 million to make electric vehicles at its forest in Chattanooga, Tenn., and a joint venture with Toyota and Mazda in an assembly plant in Huntsville, Ala., he added. Thrifty Car Rental Coupons Canada
Theyve got demand for those vehicles here and its a quirk to be protected adjoining some of the risk of tariffs. Employment will go stirring and all along across plants, and across companies. Its the overall characterize of accrual for the industry in the world economy that probably these companies are in reality watching.
Alliances vs. Mergers
Another trend that Eisenstein highlights is alliances amongst automakers. He listed the Ford-VW partnership to create personal ad vans and pick-up trucks, the Honda-General Motors partnership for autonomous vehicles, and the Toyota-Mazda joint venture. However, youre not going to look many of these alliances become full epoch partnerships or marriages, he said. Others append Toyotas partnership as soon as Panasonic to produce electric batteries, which after that happens to have united later Tesla. These are limited, anti-monogamous ventures. A good example is Toyota. For most of its existence, it kept away from everything tying it to choice manufacturer. But just in the last couple years were seeing it tie going on subsequently BMW, Mazda, Subaru and so on.
MacDuffie recalled that Sergio Marchionne, the former CEO of Fiat Chrysler who passed away last July, made a strong court case for consolidation in the auto industry. He was famous for predicting that the industry was inevitably going to have to consolidate to a little number of huge players because he felt [that considering] the economies of scale, it was incredibly wasteful of capital to have all these firms developing all those vehicles, he said. Thrifty Car Rental Coupons Canada
Even so, the industry has a long chronicles of futile mergers, MacDuffie noted. The Nissan-Renault Alliance that eventually included Mitsubishi has been described as the most successful long-term attachment that wasnt an outright merger, he said. However, the alliance is facing investigation grow old after the recent arrest and the renunciation of its chairman, Carlos Ghosn. Even so, it yet has some inherent strengths if they can figure [a showing off out of the crisis], he added. The issues upon the table are supplementary governance mechanisms and the version of aptitude in the midst of France (Renault) and Japan (Nissan), he cutting out.
MacDuffie said he has never been optimistic nearly such consolidation attempts. Ive always thought that consolidation to a little number of companies was unlikely, that what was more likely would be a combine lot of projects in which costs are shared, and where its advantageous for the partners. He cited a partnership amid Toyota and Peugeot in a diesel engine project in Europe, which worked capably for several years, but was disbanded as the technology changed. Incidentally, Peugeots parent Groupe PSA recently struck different partnership gone Toyota. Similarly, Toyota and Volkswagen had connected to make pickups many years ago, and they moved in and out of that, he added.
You could see these as failed projects or you could look them as totally pragmatic, often short-term calculations to deal behind cost pressures, needs for technology, needs for a product in the rapid term, said MacDuffie. Its actually a healthy adaptation to all the volatility and uncertainty as opposed to the big bet afterward a Daimler-Chrysler merger, which eventually failed.
Used Cars Preferred
One industry trend to watch is increased car buyer preference for used, rather than new, vehicles, especially if the latter are of recent vintage in the manner of the latest or near-latest safety and extra features.
Eisenstein said that prices [of supplementary cars] have past in the works to close wedding album levels of between $35,000 and $40,000 each for a typical vehicle. He extra that even those who can afford additional autos at those prices are actively as soon as approved pre-owned vehicles. Typically, [they are] off-lease, which means that buyers took fine care of them because they would instead be penalized on the return, he noted. They are a year or two outdated and often identical to the models that are in the showrooms as supplementary vehicles. That is something the industry has created, and it has become a threat to its own further car market.
From the standpoint of dealer margins, those trends seem to create sense. One of the relatively renowned secrets of dealer economics is that supplementary cars have lower margins than used cars, which have demean margins than repair, which have lower margins than aftermarket parts., MacDuffie said. To the extent that the dealers are the ones in the credited pre-owned vehicle market, they probably pull off well.
Ridesharing and Autonomous Vehicles
Eisenstein as well as noted trends in the ridesharing and car-sharing markets. He said one significant improve of the following year came from Waymo, a spin-off from Googles parent Alphabet, in the same way as it announced the start of its robotaxi support Waymo One. He wondered whether it would be truly autonomous or have backup operators in back the wheel.
If theyre clever to create this work, and if the drivers dont have to each time intervene, they may get compliments within the neighboring year or two to start fielding unquestionably driverless vehicles, Eisenstein said. That changes the equation because if you consent the driver out, the biggest cost of a ride sharing vehicle goes away. snappishly you potentially create it realizable for companies gone Waymo One, Uber, Lyft and some of the others that are coming to undercut the idea of owning a vehicle, particularly in urban markets that may acquire thousands or even millions of drivers to relinquish the idea of personal vehicle ownership.
MacDuffie said 2018 was a year of a little bit of veracity and retrenchment in the advancement of autonomous vehicles. He caustic to a fatality last March in Phoenix involving an Uber car as one of the huge setbacks. Were going to look more and more experimentation, and more and more pilots [in 2019], he said. The pilots encourage the companies learn and get better, supplement their algorithms, and it lets the public look these further things, and be more attainable approximately what works and what doesnt. Its a slow occupation towards both progress and public acceptance.
Millennials to the Rescue
MacDuffie critical to another driver of the industrys fortunes: the emergence of millennials as nimble car buyers. For a while, everybody said millennials dont care approximately cars anymore, they by yourself care practically their gadgets and thats a generational shift that will shake in the works the auto industry, he said. It now looks past as millennials acquire older, they acquire married, they have an effect on out of the cities to the suburbs, they have kids, theyre buying cars and maybe their finances now permit them to attain that too. Thats a kind of brusque source of demand. Thrifty Car Rental Coupons Canada
The U.S. auto industry booked hermetic sales gains last year, over 17 million vehicles for the fourth year in a row. If we go from 17.2 million to 16.8, its actually not a tragedy for the industry, MacDuffie said. Its more or less standard because weve had these surprises (such as the demand from millennials) that it hasnt made that dip yet.
Millennials basically saved the industry from a second consecutive year of decline, said Eisenstein. Every analyst Ive talked to said that it was largely an growth in millennial sales that amazed them. We are likely to continue to look that as they get older, they get wealthier and they can start buying extra vehicles. However, exceeding era he acknowledged millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) and the Gen Z population (those born between 1995 and the upfront 2000s) to opt for used vehicles, either because they desire to be smarter nearly their money or tighter later their budget if they are saddled once scholarly loans.
What vehicles those supplementary buyers pick is substitute huge question for automakers, Eisenstein said. Will they switch to electrified vehicles or clean vehicles? Will they furthermore continue the shove into crossovers and up to standard sport assistance vehicles? [Some of the younger buyers] are saying I dont want what father had. So, theres a lot of uncertainty practically where the millennial generation and the next generation will go.

Did You Know Wisconsin’s specialty crop production and processing account for more than $6 billion in economic activity? $6.4 billion, to be exact, and almost 35,000 jobs across the state!
According to the UW-Madison Extension website, www.vegetables.wisc.edu, these statistics account for 3% of Wisconsin’s overall economy and 1% of jobs statewide, including both direct and induced impacts.
“Whether it’s working directly in the field, in a grocery store, developing and using new technologies, or for an Association like the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association, the professional opportunities agriculture provides are essential and extensive,” says WPVGA Executive Director Duane Maatz. “They’re opportunities that directly impact 10% of Wisconsin’s workforce.”
When it comes to snap beans, sweet corn, peas and carrots, Wisconsin hits a home run. In 2013, the Badger State ranked 3rd in harvested acreage for processing vegetables, and “second in production and value of production” according to 2013 Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics. Wisconsin also leads the nation in snap bean production, providing more than 40% of the U.S. crop. Wisconsin ranks 3rd in the country in the production of processed carrots and 3rd for processing sweet corn and peas. The state also remains 3rd in the nation for potato production, providing over 2.5 billion pounds of potatoes each year.
“All facts that are quite impressive for a state normally recognized for its dairy products. It’s a diverse collection of crops that combine to make Wisconsin a key component in the nation’s food security,” Maatz says. “Every year, we are committed to providing the safest, highest quality potatoes and vegetables at affordable prices.”
So the next time you buy a can of vegetables or bag of potatoes, do your best to make sure they come from Wisconsin. After all, buying locally provides you with the freshest product possible and boosts your local economy.
WPVGA is a non-profit organization that represents and promotes state potato and vegetable growers. We currently represent more than 300 members and affiliates. For more information on our commitment to sustainable agriculture, jobs and water use, visit www.wisconsinpotatoes.com.

- Motorola RAZR Maxx
We have some good news for everyone, who isn’t happy with their smartphone’s battery life – Motorola has announced, that they’re launching the RAZR Maxx in Europe next month. The smartphone has almost the same technical specifications as the normal RAZR, which has been on the market for a few months now: a 1.2 gHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a gorgeous 4.3″ 540×960 Super AMOLED Advanced display, but there is also one major difference.
We are, of course, talking about the battery, which has a capacity of 3,300 mAh in the Maxx version. Motorola say this is enough for up to 17,6 hours of talk time on a single charge – very impressive for a powerful modern smartphone. What’s more, the body of the phone has hardly gotten thicker – at 8,99mm it’s still one of the slimmest devices out there. In addition, the phone is also covered with a special coating, protecting it from smaller splashes of water. B. A.

Stop Online Spying

DILIMAN, Quezon City—Local produce and food products from different farms and rural-based organizations were front and center during the launch of “Piyesta ng Pagkaing Pilipino” by the Department of Agriculture (DA), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement (PCHM).
This is in line with the celebration of the first ever Filipino Food Month this April which aims to promote, preserve, and ensure the transmission of Philippine culinary traditions and treasures to future generations. This is also in support to and appreciation of various industries, farmers, and agri-communities.
Tsaa Laya, a local brand of herbal tea, was among the line-up of native products, dishes, delicacies, and ingredients showcased during the food presentation as part of the launch. This product is being supported by Ato Belen’s Farm, an Extension Services Provider of the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) in Laguna.
The attendees of the event also got to taste Kape Maramag and Alben Muscovado, some of the products of ATI-supported Rural Improvement Clubs in Bukidnon and Mountain Province, respectively.
“We, at the DA, envision a more competitive and sustainable agriculture and fisheries sector supported by a robust agribusiness, seen by patronized local production,” Undersecretary for Operations Ariel Cayanan said on behalf of Secretary Manny Piñol during the opening ceremonies.
The kick-off event for ‘Piyesta’ also officially opened TienDA at the DA Grounds. This retail-selling and product promotion event, which include food preparation and cooking demonstrations, featured indigenous ingredients from different regions in the country on April 10-12.
During the opening ceremonies, Nina Daza Puyat of PCHM shared their continuing advocacy to raise awareness on Filipino regional dishes and give importance to farmers and fishers.
“Let us celebrate the source of our Filipino ingredients. I feel that we should push for local by buying local, cooking local, and eating local,” she said.
President Rodrigo Duterte declared April of every year as “Buwan ng Kalutong Pilipino” or Filipino Food Month through Proclamation No. 469 signed last year. Other DA-led activities were the “Pagsasalin ng Kaalaman” cooking demonstration at Melencio Castelo Elementary School, Quezon City on April 10 and “Pagpapakilala ng Kulinaryang Pilipino” at the Cultural Center of the Philippines on April 12.

Toyota USA recently published the image you see above image on Instagram. At first, this image appears ordinary, It’s an image of the current generation Toyota Tacoma but there are several odd clues hidden within.
The license place clearly shows “040423”. These numbers may be random or they may point to a date – Apr 4th, 2023.
The red brick building is labeled “Brazilian Patent Office”. This is just silly, but the Brazilian Patent Office did publish images of the next generation Toyota pickup truck (Hilux or Tacoma).
Finally, there is a blurred out front-end of a vehicle in the background next the building. It may possibly be the pickup truck, mages of which were leaked by the Brazilian Patent Office.
What else is happening on Apr 4th, 2023 in the automotive industry. It’s the day before the official media day of the 2023 New York Auto Show.
What do you think?

The future of Keeping Up with the Kardashians is more unclear than ever before.
If you choose to believe a couple recent tabloid reports, that is.
First, Star Magazine wrote a few days ago that E! might actually cancel Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Because the series has allegedly turned into a “grind” for Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian; along with Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner.
This article alleges that Kris Jenner is desperate to "save" her beloved program, but there may be nothing she can do.
Now, Radar Online has released a report that echoes this rumor,
The occasionally reliable website writes that "Kim Kardashian is finally learning that not all publicity is good publicity."
It goes on to label husband Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 4 fashion show this week in New York City as an "embarrassment" and a "flop" and then somehow connects this to Kim’s desire to depart Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Various outlets confirm that models passed out from heat exhaustion at Kanye’s event, while the entire show suffered many other humiliating mishaps along the way.
What does this have to do with Radar’s headline claim that "Kim Wants Out! Kardashian Plans KUWTK After Kanye’s Fashion Show Flop?"
"Kim has everyone in her family really worried because she is doing her best to push them all away," writes Radar.
This same, anonymous insider goes on to supposedly say:
"Kim has already given up so much for Kanye that she is at her breaking point.
"Kanye told Kim that he wants her to leave the show and that she should get out before the ratings crash even more.
"Kim knows that she carries the show and that is just adding a lot of stress to her life. At this point, she just wants it to be done with it."
Oh, well, okay then. We guess.
Before those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online get too concerned, however, consider the following:
Kim is signed to do the show through 2019. The contract is allegedly worth around $100 million.
And we somehow doubt she’s walking away from that sort of financial windfall.
It would be terrible business, wouldn’t it? And what does Kanye West pride himself on more than anything else? Being a strong businessman.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians is on hiatus.
It will return on October 23 with new storylines and new episodes.
And, yes, Kim Kardashian will most definitely be a part of it. You can see for yourself via the following extended promo:
