A former art teacher has opened a new photography studio in Lancaster.
Elle Jones Studios – home of PhotoBaby – opened in the former Margee clothes shop in China Street on June 17.
The studios will be equipped to provide everything from baby portraits to commercial images, and will also host photography classes for all ages and abilities.
Following on from being named Best Small Business at last year’s Enterprise Vision Awards, Lancaster-based photographer Eleanor Postlethwaite sees this as the next step in the growing success of Elle Jones Photography and PhotoBaby.
Eleanor, whose two children, Ethan, five, and Freya, four, provided the inspiration for PhotoBaby, said: “This will be our flagship location. A centre of operations where we can work and teach and meet with clients.
“A central address with customer parking is a dream come true, but more than that I loved the space itself - gorgeous natural light to play with and plenty of room for even the largest families.”
To celebrate the launch of the new premises a number of open days have already taken place.
But on Saturday, June 21, there will be a PhotoBaby Children’s Party from 10am till midday for 0 - 5 year olds.
And on Thursday June 26 there will be a Mini Wedding Show for couples looking for something out of the ordinary for their big day.
Eleanor, who taught art at Carnforth High School, added: “We have lots of fantastic offers planned too.
“And, as always, we will be fundraising for Tigerlily Trust, a charity I co-founded which offers support to parents bereaved by stillbirth.
“Come and share our excitement! We’re in the celebration business here.
“Whether it’s your new baby, your wedding, your family, your commercial venture or simply the joy of photography get in touch.
“We can’t wait to set sail!”
For more information about the business, you can email email@example.com.

For more than a year, Urban Outfitters has mulled whether to install a large solar power array on the roof of the e-commerce fulfillment center it is building outside Gap.
The decision is now a "yes," helped along by a $3 million state grant, announced Thursday by Gov. Tom Corbett.
Urban Outfitters said last summer that it was considering putting a 5-megawatt solar-power array on the roof of the roughly 1-million-square-foot building.
Early this month, the Philadelphia-based fashion retailer's chief development officer, David Ziel, outlined a 4.1-megawatt project that would cost $9 million.
Urban Outfitters is “very pro solar,” Ziel said.
According to the governor’s statement, the project’s capacity is now 3 megawatts, enough to supply up to half of the building’s total energy use.
It will be the Pennsylvania's largest roof-mounted solar array and seventh largest array overall.
An update on the installation cost was not immediately available.
It may exceed $12 million, judging from a July 12 letter to Corbett from state Rep. Gorden Denlinger.
The letter requested a grant of $6 million, saying that amount would represent less than half the cost of the array.
Ziel did not return messages Thursday seeking comment.
Urban Outfitters previously said the project was expected to pay for itself in 3 1/2 to just over 9 years.
It will reduce greenhouse gases by the equivalent of 700 cars’ worth of emissions, according to estimates.
Its cost amounts to just a few percent of the facility’s total price tag of $110 million.
Urban Outfitters has said it is on schedule with the building under construction at Brackbill Road and Route 30 in Salisbury Township.
It is across the street from the company’s smaller existing distribution center, which opened in 1996.
It is expected to begin operations next summer, serving as a central warehouse for shipping online orders directly to customers all along the East Coast.
It is expected to employ 500 people at first, expanding to as many as 1,500 during peak periods.
The $3 million grant was made under the state’s Economic Growth Initiative program, a retooled version of the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.
Denlinger, whose district includes the project site, told Corbett in his letter that “Urban has proven itself to be a valuable partner and ally to the local area and the region.”
“I wholeheartedly request your support for this important project,” he wrote.
Besides the grant for the solar installation, the e-fulfillment center has received a 10-year break on local and state taxes, courtesy of its site being declared a Keystone Opportunity Zone.
Urban Outfitters also is expanding its headquarters in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. That is a roughly $100 million project, and is also taking place in a Keystone Opportunity Zone.

HALIFAX, N.S. — With the Nova Scotia’s new signage law taking effect this week, signs promoting tourist attractions on major highways will be shrinking.
The province’s new law is aimed at reducing clutter and driver distraction by eliminating billboards on controlled access highways.
Although the list of businesses qualifying for space on the new sign is a short one, truckers should still be able to locate the on-road service they need. That’s because those who sell fuel, food and accommodations can get listings under the new scheme.

Earnings attributed to CHS operations for fiscal 2011 (Sept. 1, 2010 – Aug. 31, 2011) increased 91% over the $502.2 million for fiscal 2010, representing profitability and, in some cases, record performance for CHS business operations. The earnings figure surpasses a previous record of $803 million set in fiscal 2008.
"While we celebrate record results for fiscal 2011, our greatest achievement this past year continued to be adding value for our producer and member cooperative owners who count on CHS as a source of energy and crop production inputs, a connection to domestic and global grain markets, and access to risk management tools," said Carl Casale, CHS president and chief executive officer.
Revenues for fiscal 2011 reached $36.9 billion, compared with $25.3 billion for fiscal 2010, reflecting continued higher values for the energy, grain and crop nutrients products that comprise the majority of CHS business. The previous record, also set in fiscal 2008, was $32.2 billion.
For the fourth quarter (June 1 – Aug. 31, 2011), CHS posted income of $206.5 million, compared with $154.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenues for the quarter were $10.6 billion, up from $6.6 billion a year ago.
Earnings were led by the Energy segment, consisting of refined fuels, propane, renewable fuels marketing and lubricants. This was due primarily to improved margins from the refined fuels manufactured at the CHS Refinery at Laurel, Montana, U.S., and the National Cooperative Refinery Association of McPherson, Kansas, U.S., in which CHS owns nearly 75%. CHS renewable fuels marketing and distribution business also generated record earnings. The company's lubricants and propane businesses, while profitable, were down from fiscal 2010 performance.
CHS Country Operations, with its locally controlled retail locations, generated record earnings within the company's Ag Business segment, the result of higher grain volumes and increased margins. Other Ag Business components — grain marketing, crop nutrients and oilseed processing — also contributed income ahead of fiscal 2010. Ag Business earnings also reflect a pre-tax gain of $119.7 million on the CHS sale of its investment in Multigrain AG, a Brazil-based joint venture.
CHS reports results for its business services operations, as well as two food processing-related joint ventures, under the Corporate and Other category. CHS-owned insurance, risk management and financing businesses reported increased earnings for fiscal 2011, much of which was due to increased market volatility. The company recorded strong contributions from its 50% ownership of Ventura Foods, LLC, a vegetable oil-based food manufacturing business. The 24% CHS share of Horizon Milling, LLC, the nation's leading wheat miller, generated record returns primarily due to improved margins.
During fiscal 2011, CHS again provided a strong financial return to its owners — based on fiscal 2010 results — in the form of $227.3 million in cash patronage, equity redemptions and preferred stock dividends. In fiscal 2012, based on 2011 earnings, the company expects to return a record $421.0 million to its owners.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Furr's Supermarket here may be the first U.S. grocery chain to use smart card technology for its loyalty program.
Furr's began testing the SmartSource Rewards Machine on Aug. 28 at 12 of its stores in the Albuquerque area.
SmartSource, marketed by SoftCard, Athens, Ga., is an electronic smart code encoder attached to supermarket shelves, similar to traditional paper coupon dispensers. When customers swipe their new Furr's Club Card, which contains a smart chip and replaces the traditional loyalty card, the machine downloads electronic discounts to the memory chip.
The chip, which can store up to 200 discounts at a time, transfers this information at checkout, when the discounts are automatically deducted from the shopper's bill. National brands participating in this test include Bayer, Hormel, Johnson & Johnson and Kraft.
Furr's is providing current loyalty cardholders in Albuquerque with the new smart loyalty cards, and has also made them available at the test stores. Over 100,000 cards will be distributed, the company said.
"This will provide a platform for Furr's to dramatically expand the features of our loyalty program at little to no cost," said Angee Walls, vice president of marketing for Furr's. "We are confident that our customers will love the new technology and the ease and convenience in which it will allow them to save even more money at our stores."
Glen Hausfater, managing partner with Partners in Loyalty Marketing, Chicago, said, "This is the cutting edge, really. In supermarkets in the U.S., you don't see many smart card technologies [at retail] with that kind of interactivity."
The at-shelf promotion also allows Furr's to create more excitement in its stores, according to Hausfater. "If there is anywhere where retail grocery is playing catch-up, it is really making a visit to the store an exciting event. Furr's already makes shopping exciting and I think this will be a very positive aspect of the [loyalty] program," he said.
Hausfater said he is aware of only one other major retail loyalty program using a smart card: drug chain Boot's in the United Kingdom. When Boot's shoppers swipe their Advantage cards at kiosks as they enter stores, the kiosks make recommendations of products and promotions based on the shoppers' purchase histories. Shoppers using their cards at the registers also get a printout of points accumulated. This is just the beginning, said a source close to the Furr's test. "It's a platform for retailers to adopt other features, such as two-tiered pricing, school promotions and point programs," he said. Retailers can also tie discounts to purchases, offering shoppers dollars off their bill after they spend $100, for example.
"It creates a greater opportunity for one-to-one loyalty marketing, rather than just cents off," the source said. More tests of smart card technology like SmartSource from SoftCard will take place later this year and early next year, he said.

Ongoing trade conflict between China and the United States and raging waves of digital economy themed on 5G+AIoT are spurring sweeping changes to the global industry, driving supply chain transformation from the conventional linear paradigm to a matrix of strategic alliances. That is, firms that originally do not belong to the same supply chain now form a new ecosystem in view of their mutually complementing resources to enable overwhelming advantages when competing in a diversity of markets as well as niche segments.
A high-tech fleet that perfectly exemplifies the value of a matrix alliance has come into being, comprising Chenbro, FSP Group, Coretronic, JPC and ADLINK, which are leaders respectively in server casing, power supply, display technology, connectors and wire harness as well as embedded systems and edge computing solutions. The five firms each with their own specific expertise have coincidentally ventured out to seek win-win partnerships and build a 5G ecosystem. The combined fleet will set sail towards the new blue oceans of 5G, smart manufacturing and smart robotics, IoT and edge computing, new energy and autonomous driving.

After the RFID-based FASTag system, the Government of India is now preparing to adopt a GPS-based technology for toll collection systems, making the toll collection process more convenient & hassle-free. The government has set a two-year target to make most of the highways “toll-booth free”- revealed by Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), and MSME.
How will a GPS-based toll collection system work?
As the name suggests, the GPS (Global positioning system) based toll collection technique will track the movements of the vehicles, and upon crossing the predetermined area limit, the toll-amount will be automatically subtracted from the linked bank account of the vehicle owner, accordingly.
If reports are to be believed, this toll collection method will be introduced in multiple phases. In the initial phase, the govt will launch this system for commercial vehicles first, and in the second phase, the private vehicles will be brought under this system. Currently, all new commercial vehicles come equipped with GPS tracking technology. MoRTH is also planning to connect old commercial vehicles through this tech.
This system will ensure seamless transportation as there will be no physical restrictions in the form of toll-plazas. In fact, the govt is also projecting an increase in the toll income by a huge margin. As per Nitin Gadkaris's statement, the toll collection for the current fiscal year may reach Rs 34,000 crore by its end, and by using GPS-based tech for toll collection, the govt's toll income could stretch around Rs 1.34 trillion in the next 5 years.
As of now, the govt hasn't revealed much details about this system, and I'm sure you also have many questions about this. Stay tuned with gaadify to get answers about its intricacies.

In the last few months, commodity prices have continued to rise sharply. How has the increase in electricity affected dairy farmers and is there another leap in cheese?
“Cheese prices increase from 40 to 75 percent from the producers to the store. BGN 12 is the real price per kilogram of cheese now. If VAT becomes 9 percent for goods from the small basket, the price of cheese will not fall, but will save the upcoming increase.
Nobody can say what the price of the cheese will be in July, “Dimitar Zorov, director of the Association of Dairy Producers in Bulgaria, told NOVA NEWS.
“Dairy plants are on the verge of collapse, they are pressuring farmers to close, selected animals go to the slaughterhouse.
At one point, the situation becomes hopeless. The Bulgarian breeder is becoming unequal compared to other countries, where subsidies are different, VAT is different, “Zorov added.
“Gas has risen four times, the price of nitrogen fertilizers has risen six times. At the moment we do not see compensatory mechanisms.
Now businesses are operating at a loss, consumption is falling, not selling at real cost, but this is a decision of every owner.
“People who have not left their offices should listen to people who are engaged in real production for 365 days and earn their salaries,” said Dimitar Zorov.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans to ban “single-use plastics” — possibly bags, straws and cutlery, among other plastic things. “We need to cover all of Canada with this decision, and that’s why the federal government is moving forward on a science-based approach to establishing which harmful single-use plastics we will be eliminating as of 2021,” he said.
Meanwhile, in Ontario, the Ford government is also considering a ban on single-use plastics. Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante recently declared war on plastic, eyeing a total ban on small plastic bags distributed by grocery stores and other retailers. Vancouver’s ban of single-use plastics will go into effect next year.

Internationally, many governments have adopted such bans, motivated by the belief that plastic bags are environmentally harmful. Thus, a ban on plastic bags would encourage people to shift to reusable bags, which would help the environment.

Update (March 26 11:28 pm): The Home Ministry has also directed all states and UTs to allow e-commerce supply chains to function so that essential goods (food, medicines, and medical equipment/devices) can be delivered. The order issued by Delhi Police allowing operations of e-commerce in the city without any passes had already been rescinded before Home Ministry’s directions, Vikram Porwal, the staff officer to commissioner of Delhi Police, told MediaNama. This is because it wasn’t clear how deliveries across borders, and transportation of essential goods across city and state borders would happen in the absence of a central directive.
All e-commerce retailers and online delivery services delivering essential goods can continue to operate in Delhi, according to a Delhi Police order sent to all cops, including traffic cops, in the city. No separate passes are required to operate within the city, Vikram Porwal, the staff officer to commissioner of Delhi Police, who signed the order, told MediaNama.
Company IDs are enough for movement within Delhi: Delivery agents will only require their company-issued IDs to operate in the city, Porwal said. While uniforms and company vehicles will help, they are not compulsory. “There are many establishments who do not have uniforms but are in the business of providing essential services,” he said.
- This is in conflict with an earlier order from the Delhi Government. All “essential service providers in private sector” are required to get passes from the concerned district magistrate, divisional commissioner, or district DCP “to move in and out of Delhi”, as per Health and Family Welfare Department’s order dated March 24 which was signed by Padmini Singla, secretary of Health and Family Welfare Department. It is not clear if this pass includes e-commerce deliveries and if it is only for crossing borders, or for movement within the city as well. Singla’s office told MediaNama that this includes e-commerce deliveries too but didn’t clarify if passes are required for within the city as well. Porwal was not aware of such an order, or that the Delhi government was also issuing passes. He told us that passes would be required only if essential service providers (except media personnel) crossed borders into Delhi. It is not clear if delivery agents, who cross the border into Delhi, would require passes. We have asked Porwal for a clarification.
Delhi Police allows all e-commerce companies to operate: The list in the order is not exhaustive, Porwal told us. The police department has been instructed to allow even companies not mentioned in the order to operate. “It will be decided on the spot only. They will be allowed without any problem,” he said.
- Some of the companies included in the order are: e-commerce companies (Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal), food delivery (Zomato, Swiggy, UberEats), online grocers (24Seven, Grofers, BigBasket, Milkbasket, Dunzo, Big Bazaar, Licious), e-pharmacies (Medlife, PharmEasy), service providers (UrbanClap), courier and logistics companies (Blue Dart, DTDC, Wow Express). The order also includes Dr Lal Path Labs and Max Path Labs.
- Strangely enough, Jabong and Myntra, which are online apparel stores and arguably not providers of “essential” goods, are also listed in the order. We have asked Porwal about this and are awaiting a response.
- Satvacart is also mentioned in the list, but the company only delivers in Gurugram.
Verification of delivery agents from lesser known companies will be done on the spot. Calling it a “difficult task”, Porwal said that it will depend on how well the “person is able to convince [the police]”. But the police will not be restrictive in allowing movement of people who claim to deliver goods, he said. “Of course if he is carrying some bag with food or some stuff, that we can verify on the spot,” he said. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) had issued an advisory to all state governments on March 24, before the 21-day lockdown was announced, to treat copies of “orders, way bills, invoices etc.” as evidence that people are indeed engaged in e-commerce service. Porwal agreed that this was a useful method, but the order doesn’t mention using bills or invoices as a way to verify agents’ movement.
Local delivery of essential services was permitted earlier: Delivery services by grocers and general provision stores, including kendriya bhandars, and home delivery from restaurants had been permitted by the Delhi Police in an order dated March 23.

New York Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker is recommending a ban on flavored vaping products. He called the rising use of e-cigarettes among young people a public health crisis.
“We saw this with tobacco, we saw this decades ago, we don’t need to repeat history. We need to tackle this right now and do it fast.” The recommendation comes as governments grapple with how to deal with the products that frequently contain nicotine and have been linked to at least 6 deaths and more than 450 illnesses nationwide. Joining Zucker at a press conference Sunday morning, Governor Andrew Cuomo said the recommendation would be made to the state’s Public Health and Health Planning Council, which has the authority to issue an emergency declaration.
“Dr. Zucker is going to go to that council in the next few days, recommend to them that they immediately ban flavored vaping products and e-cigarettes except tobacco and menthol.”
Cuomo has directed state police to crackdown on vendors who sell vaping products to individuals under the age of 18, and said he would push legislation to ban marketing of e-cigarettes to teens and children. In November, New York’s smoking and vaping age will increase to 21.

Used car supermarket AvailableCar has successfully defended an advert after a single complainant suggested it was misleading.
An ad on availablecar.com, seen on August 12, contained listings for used cars. Text next to each car stated “When new £xxxxx”, “You save £xxxx” and the current price of the car.
A consumer brought a complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency, challenging whether the savings’ claims were misleading because they were based on the price of the car when it was new.
In response, AvailableCar said the "when new" price was the price paid for the car when it was originally bought new, including any extras fitted to the car when purchased, and not the price today for the equivalent model.
It said they had previously received trading standards advice to describe the higher price as a "when new" price and believed the inference was that the car was now no longer new.
AvailableCar said the "you save" figure was the difference between the "when new" price and their selling price.
It believed it was important to draw consumers' attention to the difference in price because of the significant depreciation in the price of cars after they were sold when new.
The listings also showed the year of registration and the mileage of the car.
In rejecting the complaint, the ASA noted that the CAP Code ( for non-broadcast advertising) required that ads made the basis of a price comparison clear.
In this case, the "when new" and "you save" headings and figures appeared immediately below the photograph of the car, while text alongside stated the make and model of the car followed by the year of registration and mileage, and also the colour, fuel, whether the car was manual or automatic and the current selling price.
“We acknowledged that the specifications of a used car were likely to be very different from those of a brand new car in terms of mileage, wear and tear and warranty,” the ASA said.
“However, we considered the information was presented sufficiently clearly for readers to understand the basis of the price comparison and to understand that the 'you save' figure referred to the difference between the price of the car when originally new and the current market value of a used car. Because we considered the basis of the price comparison was sufficiently clear, we concluded that the savings claims were unlikely to mislead.”

AutoTrader.com, the ultimate automotive marketplace, hit a record 16.07 million unique monthly visitors in March. "The 16.07 million unique monthly visitors represents a new threshold in demand by online car shoppers," said AutoTrader.com President and CEO Chip Perry.
"In just the past two months, AutoTrader.com has gone from 14 million unique monthly visitors to more than 16 million, which tells us that even in this very challenging economy, there is an ever burgeoning audience of shoppers who are thinking about buying a car and are responding to our marketing messages," said Perry.
"The current state of the economy is accelerating the trend we've seen developing for some time. Now more than ever people want to make every dollar count and they want to know they're getting the right car at the right price from a dealer they can count on. And the Internet is the best way for buyers to find the information they are looking for."
Meanwhile, auto dealers and manufacturers looking to maximize every dollar of their marketing budgets are increasingly scaling back mainstream media advertising buys and investing more money in on-line marketing.
"This cycle has picked up steam in the past year," says Perry. "More car buyers gravitate to the web to find the information they want. Dealers and manufacturers, seeking to reach the most buyers as efficiently as possible, invest more in on-line marketing and cut back on traditional media.
Car buyers who have not migrated to the Internet find less useful auto advertising in their local media, turn to the web to find what they're looking for and become hooked on on-line car shopping. This leaves even a smaller number of car shoppers using traditional media as their primary source for car shopping information, making traditional media even less efficient for marketing autos."
Various industry figures illustrate this cycle. Between 2007 and 2008, auto industry spending on on-line media increased about 23% according to industry estimates. At the same time, advertising spending on traditional media (newspapers, television, etc.) dropped between 2% and 5%, with newspapers suffering the largest drop in advertising. Perry believes the current economy is accelerating those marketing spending trends.
Among on-line car shopping sites, AutoTrader.com offers the most comprehensive tools, search functionality, vehicle inventory and information on pricing and specials, giving shoppers the tools and information to find the right car at the right price.
In addition to record site traffic, contacts from shoppers on AutoTrader.com to dealers and private sellers listing vehicles for sale on the site were up more than 18% in March compared to March 2008, indicating that shoppers are responding to the information and inventory they are seeing on the site.
AutoTrader.com's marketing mix for 2009 includes television advertising buys on high-engagement, national events like the upcoming NBA playoffs; exposure at top consumer auto shows across the country, including the upcoming New York International Auto Show; sponsorships of various professional sports teams; partnerships with other large automotive sites like MSN Autos and Edmunds.com; and other on-line and SEM efforts.
The goal of this mass media, consumer-event and partner exposure is to continue to reinforce AutoTrader.com's leadership among consumers as a top on-line auto marketplace and drive consumers to AutoTrader.com's dealer and manufacturer advertisers.
"Mass-reach media and high-impact marketing on major event broadcasts continues to be a great tool for building and maintaining overall brand awareness," said Perry. "We've made sure that for the in-market car shopper, AutoTrader.com's name is inescapable in traditional and on-line media. When consumers get ready to buy a car in 2009, they will remember the AutoTrader.com name and make us a part of their car shopping experience."

GST: All Restaurants to Come Under 5% Tax Bracket, Says Jaitley
Restaurants will no longer enjoy input tax credit benefits.
The GST Council met in Guwahati on 10 November and decided to move a number of items from the 28 percent tax slab to lower tax slabs. The Council also announced that all the restaurants will now be moved to the 5 percent tax bracket from the earlier 18 percent GST bracket.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the benefit of input tax credit (ITC) will be taken away from the restaurant industry, as it failed to pass on the benefits to the customers.
He added that the only exception would be restaurants in starred hotels (that charge more than Rs 7,500 per night). These restaurants will continue to be in the 18% bracket and will keep getting the ITC benefits.
Currently, 12 percent GST on food bill is levied in non-AC restaurants and 18 percent in air-conditioned ones. All these got input tax credit, a facility to set off tax paid on inputs with final tax.
After the 23rd meeting, the Council decided to keep only 50 items, mostly demerit, sin and luxury goods in the 28 percent bracket, which earlier had more than 200 items in the slab. Cement, paint, and washing machines are a few of the items that will continue under the 28 percent GST slab.
Jaitley said 178 items in the 28 percent slab will be moved to the 18 percent tax slab. He said rates on 2 items would be reduced from 28 percent to 12 percent. Rates on 13 items will be reduced from 18 percent to 12 percent. Six items will be moved from the 18 percent slab to the one with 5 percent, whereas rates on 8 items will be reduced from 12 percent to 5 percent, and rates on 6 items will be reduced from 5 percent to zero tax.
The changes will be applicable from 15 November, the finance minister added.
‘People-Inspired, People-Friendly and People-Centric’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter to laud the decisions made by the GST Council. He said, “All our decisions are people-inspired, people-friendly and people-centric.”
All items of mass consumption such as chewing gums, chocolates, aftershave, deodorant, washing powder, detergent, marble have been put in the lower slab of 18%Sushil Modi, Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar
Bihar’s Deputy CM, Sushil Kumar Modi said that the revenue implication of lowering tax will amount to Rs 20,000 crore.
He said it was important that the system under the GST regime stabilises, as only four months were remaining for the close of the current financial year.
Jammu & Kashmir Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu told BloombergQuint that in the long run, the revenue gains, efficiency gains and buoyancy gains will make up for the revenue shortfall.
Finance Secretary Hasmukh Adhia said the filing of return for 3B will be continued till March, next year. He also said if there is a nil return to be filed then late filing penalty will be reduced to Rs 20, and for others it will be reduced to Rs 50.
Tax rate on condensed milk, refined sugar, pasta curry paste, diabetic food, medical grade oxygen, printing ink, hand bags, hats, spectacles frame and bamboo/cane furniture has been cut from 18 percent to 12 percent.
Puffed rice chikki, flour of potatoes, chutney power, fly sulphur recovered in refining crude and fly ash will now be taxed at 5 percent instead of 18 percent.
Guar meal, hop cone, certain dried vegetables, unworked coconut shell and fish would attract nil GST tax as against 5 percent.
Tax on idli dosa batter, finished leather, coir, fishing net, worn clothing and desiccated coconut has been cut to 5 percent from 12 percent.
Facing intense heat from opposition-ruled states over keeping mass used goods in the 28 percent bracket which was meant for luxury and de-merit goods, the Council pruned the list to 50 as against 62 that was recommended by its fitment committee.
The GST Network said businesses can now make changes to the forms uploaded on the portal to claim transition credit.
"The facility to revise Form GST TRAN-1 declaration has been introduced on the GST Portal for taxpayers who had already filed it prior to 9 November 2017," GSTN said in a statement.
The government in September allowed for one-time revision of TRAN-1.
The facility to revise TRAN-1 declaration has been enabled for taxpayers who had already filed it, said GSTN, the company which developed the IT backbone for the new indirect tax regime. Revision can be either an increase or decrease of credit in comparison to the original credit.
If the revision is to reduce the credit claimed previously then the taxpayer will be able to file only if he has sufficient balance in his credit ledger," GSTN said.
Former Finance Minister P Chidambaram took to Twitter to say that the government has been forced to make these changes due to the upcoming elections.

The country’s card payments market registered robust growth even during the pandemic
Hungary’s card payments market, which has registered sustained growth for the past few years, is set to increase by 13.3% in 2021, according to GlobalData.
As cashless payments have increased in popularity due to COVID-19, payment cards have been the beneficiary. The pandemic has made online purchasing more appealing as it allows consumers to avoid close social contact and helps to prevent the spread of the virus and this has driven the use of payment cards online. As per MNB, the volume and value of online card purchases (including domestic and cross-border) increased by 43% and 50% respectively in Q2 2020, compared to Q2 2019.
Besides, when shopping in-store, consumers have shifted from cash payments to digital payments, particularly contactless cards. To support this, in March 2020, the Hungarian Government raised the contactless payment limit without the use of a PIN in the country from HUF5,000 ($16.86) to HUF15,000 ($50.58) to make it easier for consumers to make payments without coming into close contact with POS terminals.

Ford boss reveals vision of green future
Land_e concept car designed to reduce emissions
Ford's chief in Europe and head of its Premier Automotive Group, Lewis Booth, today told of his vision of the near future for the troubled car manufacturer, given the onslaught of global warming.
Booth spoke at the British motor show of the challenges facing Ford. He envisions that 'in the next 10 or 15 years' consumers will become as aware of their annual carbon output as they are of their bank balance today. Choices such as walking to work in order to drive a sports car at the weekend or not using the tumble dryer in order to fly the family to Florida on holiday were examples he gave.
Given the predicted availability of fuel for the next 50 years at least, Booth felt that neither fuel prices nor taxation on motoring will be enough to effect the change needed if carbon emissions are to be cut.
“Hybrid tax breaks are cuckoo”
Booth called on European governments to instigate cross-regional policies that will help to shape consumer demand – particularly taxes that applied across Europe to avoid the expense and waste of resources involved in responding to differing tax regimes. He called some countries’ favourable tax treatment of hybrid vehicles that still emit high levels of CO2 'completely cuckoo'.
Roelant de Waard, head of Ford in the UK, clearly agreed - he called for the London congestion charge to be scrapped for biofuel-powered Focuses, as they emit less than 100g/km of Co2 - less than all the hybrid models which are currently exempt from the charge.
Ford's basic strategy is not to put all its eggs in one basket: it is resting its hopes on improvements in diesel and petrol engines, lightweight vehicles (the aluminium Jaguar XJ and XK are good examples of this, the 2.7-tonne Land Rover Discovery is clearly not), biofuels and hybrids – in the hope that one or more of them will prove to be a major success. Booth warned, however, that ‘there is no silver bullet' to magically fix all.
Using a range of developments to improve environmental performance across Ford's car range would deliver far more substantial results than the 'tiny' numbers of hybrids sold, he said, pointing out that Ford sold 145,000 Focuses in Britain last year and therefore that its mission to reduce CO2 output across the Focus range by 20 per cent in the next decade would have a large impact.
Forthcoming developments include gear-shift indicators to encourage economical driving, second-generation biofuels which offer an 80-90 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions (Booth believes this to be a much more efficient route than hydrogen-powered cars) and systems such as that on Land Rover's Land-e concept, which co-ordinates vehicle systems for economical driving.
'Environmental motoring has to be brought into the mainstream,' says Booth. With the CO2 emissions of the Focus 1.8 TDCi having come down by 26 per cent since 1998 there's been progress, but clearly more must be done by manufacturers, governments and consumers alike.
‘We can't sell this thing on “save the planet”,’ Booth concluded. 'It has to be done by market forces.'

Whataburger releases official YETI Rambler Tumbler
Two Texas favorites, Whataburger and YETI, have combined just in time for holiday shopping.
Coming on the heels of the Whataburger-James Avery charm released last month, the burger and mug company have partnered to create an official YETI tumbler branded with the famous Flying W.
The Rambler, a stainless steel, 30-ounce, insulated cup, can be ordered on the Whataburger website for $45.99.
Whataburger released stainless steel mugs last year and customers said the product would be better if it was a YETI-brand, according to Whataburger representatives. That led to the creation of the new line, according to a release.
"When we launched our stainless-steel tumblers last year, we saw fans snapping photos of themselves with their tumblers all over the world," Whataburger Vice President of Retail Mike Sobel said in the release. "We're excited to share these new YETI tumblers so our fans can travel with both their favorite high-quality brands. We can't wait to see where our fans will go next, but we'll always have a hot meal and a cold drink waiting for them here in Whataburger country."
Check out the Whataburger YETI in the gallery above and start adding it to your wishlists.

Johannesburg - South Africa's Purchasing Managers' Index fell to an 8 month low in September as a strike in the auto sector hurt new sales orders, suggesting a slow down in the manufacturing sector, survey showed on Tuesday.
The PMI, a measure of factory activity, was at 49.1 in September from August's 56.5, sponsor Kagiso Tiso Holdings said.
The index fell below the 50 mark which marks the difference between contraction and expansion for the first time since March.
“The New Sales Orders Index lost 9.4 points in September, reflecting the knock-on effects to the wider manufacturing sector from the prolonged strike activity in the vehicle manufacturing sector,” said Abdul Davids, head of research at Kagiso Asset Management.
“Intermittent mining sector disruptions and fears about future industrial action may also be weighing on manufacturers.” - Reuters

After installing iOS version 14.5.1, the performance of iPhones decreased. The error will be fixed in a future update, reports the Mydrivers portal with reference to representatives of the developers from Cupertino.
The update of the operating system for Apple smartphones, which became available for download in April, not only delighted users with new features. Not without problems. It turned out that owners of devices such as the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 complain about slowdowns, slowdowns in the interface and performance drops in games.
It looks like Apple is already solving the problem. The company is reportedly preparing an update to its operating system – iOS 14.6, which is in beta testing. Officially, the new operating system will be available for all users in a couple of weeks. The update is planned to address the bugs in iOS 14.5.
The next version of the operating system – iOS 15 – will be presented at the Worldwide Developers Conference, which will be held on June 7. The operating system will reach iPhone users in the fall of 2021.
Earlier, in February 2020, the French consumer protection agency fined Apple 25 million euros for failing to alert users about an update that slows down iPhones.

The Blood and Wine expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is probably the most anticipated expansion of 2016, as it will be bringing to a close Geralts storyline for good. There have been many claims that this expansion will be huge and that it will be even better than the game-of-the-year-winning main game, but now we’re getting rumors of a release date.
Gry-online.pl claims that Blood and Wine will launch across all platforms on April 26th, making the wait for this expansion last just a month and a half longer. Of course, this is a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt for now until official details are released.
Developer CD Projekt RED has previously discussed what their future plans are, saying, “With Blood and Wine will try to close, at least for a while, the universe of The Witcher. It will be the last adventure of Geralt as a main character. But beyond that there is still nothing written in stone. Blood and Wine will be our conclusion of the story of Geralt, then it’s time to focus with all the energy of Cyberpunk 2077.”
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has received 16 pieces of free DLC, along with the Hearts of Stone expansion that released last year to solid reviews. The main game plus all of its additional content is shaping up to becoming one of the most content-packed games of all time.

Metropolis Healthcare is open to good opportunities when it comes to acquisitions, Ameera Shah, promoter and managing director (MD) of the company told CNBC-TV18.
The chain of diagnostic companies reported strong set earnings for the June-ended quarter as expected by the low base and of course the second wave of COVID-19 across the country. The company clocked in its highest ever quarterly revenue and EBITDA. Profit and margin also looked healthy at over 30 percent.
“We are open to good opportunities and there are many opportunities that keep coming our way. So, it is difficult to comment on anything specific at this point of time," Shah said.
“However, we are seeing a bit of a consolidation happening in the industry. There are, as I said, many opportunities but also there is a valuation gap between private and public, which is reducing. Therefore, we have to be picky, selective and prudent about where we invest our cash, while also keeping in mind return numbers. We are not in any hurry to go out and just acquire randomly. We want to be careful as we look at opportunities and they should be very strategically aligned with our overall vision,” she said.
Shah further said that the acquisition of Ganesan Hitech is on hold for now.
On COVID space, she said, “In Q1 (FY22) we were at about 19 percent during the peak of the wave and quarters earlier. When the wave had come down, we were between 10 percent and 15 percent.”
According to her, full-year EBITDA for FY22 should be better than that of FY21.
“Our entire year EBITDA for 2021-22 will be better than the entire year for 2020-21 and we stand by that. However, we are going on an aggressive expansion of 90 labs and 1,800 collection centers over the next three years and also we are investing a lot in our technology and digital capabilities. This will obviously erode some margin temporarily," she added.
“On the other side, we are also working on a lot of cost-efficient products and we believe that the neutralising factor of this will bring us ahead in terms of margin. So, we are very much working towards that. I think topline is that if there would be a third wave and what impact that will have. Overall, it should be a reasonably positive year for healthcare services from a numbers perspective and obviously from a consumer perspective," she added.

CANADA: Molson Coors, SABMiller lock horns over licensing deal
SABMiller subsidiary Miller Brewing Company said it will "vigorously" defend the lawsuit
Coors is currently the sales and marketing agent for Miller’s brands in Canada. But, Miller said in a statement today (27 February) that it is ending the contract. The move has prompted Coors, which also has a JV with SABMiller in the US, to file a lawsuit against the decision.
Paul Gurr, Miller’s Canada MD said: “While Miller brands make up only a small percentage of Molson Coors’ Canadian sales, this decision reflects our belief that there exists the opportunity to grow Miller’s brands in Canada.”
The Coors lawsuit was filed in Ontario, according to Miller. A Coors spokesperson declined to comment to just-drinks on the pending case, but said that the company “remains the sales and marketing agent for Miller brands in Canada”.
Miller said it will “vigorously defend” the action and “maintains its right” to end the contract.
The company has given Coors six months notice from 18 January, with the agreement set to terminate on 22 July, it added.

(Bloomberg) — Because the Federal Reserve’s intensifying battle in opposition to inflation sinks each asset on Wall Avenue, traders are asking: Why purchase now when issues may get cheaper nonetheless?
Most Learn from Bloomberg
What began as a gentle inventory selloff this month has morphed right into a deepening curiosity rate-spurred rout that’s worn out just about the entire summer season good points within the S&P 500. Mouth-watering yields on company debt haven’t been sufficient to entice consumers whereas traders are more and more parking their cash in money, ready for extra central bank-inflicted ache on the economic system — and a greater shopping for alternative. On the similar time, the Citrix Techniques Inc. debt debacle highlights the tighter local weather for capital-raising for Company America, darkening the outlook for indebted corporations within the inventory market.
All this comes at a nasty time for corporations going through shrinking revenue margins. Inventory valuations, whereas beneath multiyear highs, might have additional to fall after the S&P 500 doubled from the pandemic backside. And even with nominal Treasury yields on the loftiest ranges in over a decade, inflation-adjusted charges have scope to climb even greater.
Jerome Powell and his Fed colleagues gained’t be upset with the sharp drop in asset costs. They’ve spent the previous six months, at first subtly after which straight, saying that inflation can’t come down till the excesses in monetary markets ease. Because the central financial institution started tightening in March, 10-year yields have jumped greater than 1.5 proportion factors, shares have plunged 20% and junk-bond spreads are wider by about 90 foundation factors. Extra ache is probably going.
“The message from the Fed is that ‘We’re going to maintain mountain climbing till one thing goes improper,’” Bespoke Funding Group World Macro Strategist George Pearkes stated. “The truth that nothing’s damaged but tells us we’re not carried out. If the Fed is in that temper, how are markets presupposed to backside?”
With the S&P 500 falling a 3rd straight day Thursday, following the worst efficiency on a Fed day since January 2021, it seems that traders are lastly heeding the central financial institution’s message: After the period of peak financial stimulus, asset-price disinflation is a mandatory byproduct of cooling worth pressures within the broader economic system.
Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari stated as a lot in late August, commenting that he was “completely happy” to see the market’s rout in response to Powell’s Jackson Gap speech, the place Chair Jerome Powell hammered residence that the central financial institution was dedicated to stamping out inflation.
Powell repeatedly referenced the labor market at Wednesday’s press convention, noting that its energy stays “out of stability” as coverage makers search to get a grip on the most well liked inflation in a era.
After breaking a three-month straight streak of outflows in August, greater than $5 billion has been drained from US fairness exchange-traded funds, Bloomberg information present. In the meantime, the extra speculative corners of the market are being punished. A Goldman Sachs basket of nonprofitable tech corporations has plunged 12% up to now in September, on monitor for its worst month-to-month efficiency since Might.
“If there are extra aggressive sellers and fewer aggressive consumers, that supply-demand imbalance goes to trigger some disinflation in fairness costs for certain,” Artwork Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley, stated in a cellphone name. “And to the extent that that’s what we’re going via now, it’s much like demand being diminished for different issues.”
All the identical, whereas costs proceed to say no throughout asset lessons, there are not any massive indicators of investor panic like pressured liquidations or systemic stress. Monetary situations — a cross-asset measure of market stress — are nearer to ranges they have been main into the Fed’s kickoff hike in March. Whereas credit score issuance has slowed, investment-grade corporations are nonetheless broadly able to tapping main markets, albeit at a worth.
In opposition to that backdrop, it is sensible to carry out and await larger bargains with the Consumed a warpath, in response to Kim Forrest at Bokeh Capital Companions.
“The Fed has laid out this technique for killing inflation and it appears to be like prefer it’s going to kill the economic system too. And that’s the reason we’ve a consumers strike,” Forrest, the agency’s founder and chief funding officer, stated in an interview. “The entire thing is I sat there this morning wanting over issues I wish to purchase and my massive query is that this: are they going to be cheaper subsequent month? And the reply is possibly. Perhaps.”

Owens-Illinois Inc., Perrysburg, Ohio, the world's largest manufacturer of glass packaging, plans to cut energy consumption by 50% and carbon emissions by 65% over the next decade.
With 2007 as a baseline for this plan, O-I also intends to nearly double its use of recycled glass by 2017. Specifically, it plans to reach a global average of 60% recycling of O-I containers by then.
"Our recent life cycle assessment showed that glass already has a smaller carbon footprint than other packaging materials,” says Al Stroucken, O-I’s chief executive officer. “However, we see room for additional improvement in the carbon footprint of glass and our company as the world's leading maker of glass packaging. While our goals are extremely aggressive, we are confident that they are achievable and that they will have a significant and positive impact on the environment. Our goal is to be the world's most sustainable glass packaging maker."
O-I has already undertaken a number of steps to meet these goals, including reducing some bottle weights by nearly 30% and cutting energy usage by 8% over the past three years.
Achieving the company's recycling goals may require addressing fundamental challenges in the way recycling systems currently function. "Recycling systems work well in certain parts of the world,” says Jay Scripter, O-I vice president of sustainability. "Europe has the most sophisticated and successful programs, but in the United States and other countries, a significant amount of glass slated for recycling actually ends up in landfills. We want to use that glass to make new glass containers. O-I has an opportunity to be a leader on this issue and make a significant impact."
O-I estimates that every 10% of recycled glass used in production cuts carbon emissions by 5% and saves 3% in energy use. Currently, the average recycled content in O-I bottles is an industry-leading 36%.
The company intends to issue reports on its progress in achieving these sustainability goals in the future.
O-I plans to shrink its carbon footprint
