A Pomegranate a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
In a study conducted at Queen Margaret University, Edinburg, researchers found that having a drink of pomegranate juice lowers stress hormones and reduces blood pressure.
The fruit is pack filled with nutrient that provides people benefits that are good for health and aging. The study analyzed 60 participants all from a range of working environments. It was reported that after having the drink the participants felt more enthusiastic and less distressed.
Scientists have claimed that pomegranate juice can help to fight cancer, heart disease and the aging process. Pomegranates are high in antioxidants, which are chemicals that help neutralize harmful oxygen molecules-called free radicals.
The participants were less likely to describe their feelings as stressed, nervous and ashamed compared to two weeks ago. Their pulse rates were also much lower than before.
"On the basis of these findings there is a justified argument for busy workers to drink pomegranate juice to help alleviate chronic stress and maintain good health," states the lead researcher, Dr Emad Al-Dujaili, of Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh.

In spite of all the risks incurred by allowing foreign devices to access company data, a mere 39 percent of respondents work under the restrictions of a bring your own device (BYOD) policy, according to a survey by Software Advice.
An additional 20 percent of respondents said they don’t know if they do or not, indicating nearly 60 percent of employees are making up their own BYOD rules as they go along–or more alarmingly, not following any at all.
The survey also revealed more than half of respondents have transferred company files to their own devices, and just 49 percent of respondents implement security updates when they’re released.
Meanwhile, 35 percent of respondents admitted to transferring files, but said that the files contained nothing sensitive. In addition, 48 percent of respondents say they’ve never transferred files onto personal devices, and 18 percent said they had never transferred files.
A third of respondents maintain very poor security on their devices, meaning they either only update them occasionally, never do or have no idea whether their systems are patched.
“Policies are going to vary from firm to firm but, for example, you are always going to want strong password controls in place,” Daniel Humphries, researcher for Software Advice, told eWeek. “Employees have to keep their own devices patched, fixing the latest security vulnerabilities by installing updates immediately, and corporate data should be encrypted in case the device is stolen.”
Humphries also recommended there be a clear separation of personal and corporate data on the device- companies can provide corporate apps for their data.
“You definitely want to get your lawyers to look over the document to avoid ambiguity–and liability,” he added. “These are just some of the big things to consider. The good news is that there are lots of good templates and guides online and it’s worth taking the time to explore them, to pick what applies to you.”
While almost half (49 percent) said they update their security immediately upon receiving an update, 9 percent said they were unsure how frequently they update and a substantial 11 percent said they never update at all.
This lack of concern for security is even more troubling when viewed in the light of a recent Gartner study that revealed a quarter of business users admitted to having had a security issue with their private device in 2013, but only 27 percent of those respondents felt obliged to report this to their employer.
“I think companies have to signal clearly to their employees that security is a priority for everybody, including the upper echelons. Some hastily banged out policy lists aren’t going to change anything, nor are a few email bulletins,” Humphries said. “Education has to be ongoing. Some experts claim that tying the issues to their employees’ own experience is key–that if you teach people how to be secure about what matters to them in their own lives, then eventually that will pay off in their work life.”
The report surveyed 385 adults in the U.S. who use their own devices, like smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs, to access resources on their company’s internal networks.

Smurfit Kappa Europe seeks anti-trust nod to buy Bulgaria’s VitavelFebruary 20, 2019
Paper and cardboard packaging company Smurfit Kappa Europe, part of London-listed Smurfit Kappa Group, said on Friday that it is seeking approval from Bulgaria’s anti-trust authority to acquire Lovech-based peer Vitavel.
The acquisition is likely to have an effect on the local corrugated fiberboard production market, as well as the corrugated fiberboard packaging segment, Smurfit Kappa Europe said in a notice to Bulgaria’s Commission for Protection of Competition.
Interested parties can submit their position to the regulator within seven days.
Smurfit Kappa Group operates in 21 countries in Europe and 12 countries in North and South America.
Bulgaria’s Vitavel Invest held an 84.9% stake in Vitavel at the end of 2016, according to the most recent commercial register data.
Vitavel ended 2016 with a slim loss of 365,000 levs ($210,000/187,000 euro), up from 238,000 levs in 2015. The company’s operating revenue increased to 12.7 million levs in 2016 from 12.4 million levs the year before.

According to click fraud monitoring firm ClickForensics, the overall industry rate hit 16.2 in the third quarter of the year.
This is an increase on 13.8% for the same period in 2006, and is also up on the previous quarter’s average of 15.8%.
Meanwhile, the click fraud problem has worsened for ads on search engine content networks including Google AdSense and the Yahoo Publisher Network, increasing by roughly 3% to 28.1% in Q3 – almost 10% higher than in Q3 2006.
According to ClickForensics CEO Tom Cuthbert:
“Click fraud activity continues to grow especially on made for ad sites, parked domains and on the content networks, advertisers, publishers and search engines need to take notice because content networks are becoming the fastest growing source of click fraud. Ensuring their quality is essential for the pay per click advertising market to continue its growth.”
These figures are likely to be disputed by Google, which has previously said that the click fraud estimates of independent monitoring firms like ClickForensics exaggerate the extent of the problem.
Google’s Senior Product Manager Shuman Ghosemajumder has said that the search engine filters out less than 10% of clicks as invalid, and that advertisers are reimbursed for fewer than .02% of clicks.
Cuthbert believes that this debate is good for the industry though:
“Sometimes the dialogue with Shuman or Reggie Davis from Yahoo can be somewhat contentious, but I think it’s healthy for the entire industry…we’ll continue to keep the pressure on to make sure they get the transparency they need. But we need to bring the entire community together–from the publishers, to advertisers, to the engines–to solve this problem.”
There is no doubt that all advertisers should be aware of PPC click fraud, but carefully managed PPC campaigns should always deliver a positive ROI, including any costs incurred for fraudulent clicks.

Many readers have written in after reading my recent column on olive oil. After reading about the problems with a lot of what is sold as olive oil and, even more, with olive pomace oil, most of these readers had a fairly natural question: what oil would I recommend for cooking and eating? I wish I could give an easy, definitive answer, but the truth is that I am as confused as anyone else by the claims made for different types of oil. Every type of oil or fat seems to have the ideal combination of healthful properties, suitability for cooking and taste — if you listen to the people selling it. And then they tell you why every other type is wrong.

STEMCHIK is an innovative and new network of full-day kindergartens, where children receive advanced knowledge using fun and interactive methods. The Ukrainian based company, founded in 2021, integrates the STEM approach (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) with LEGO's educational sets, to develop a child’s physical, emotional and cognitive abilities. The educational firm told Franchsing.eu that their goal is "to create a unique family experience for growing self-confident and happy children."
The company was built from the reliable "PROSTEM" business model; a company with more than 12 years of successful experience with innovative education programs. STEMCHIK offers three different franchising formats, ranging from a Base level system, a lower cost start-up catering up to 32 children – up to an Expanded franchise format, catering for 48 students at a time.
According to the STEMCHIK’s business developer, Volodymyr Stoietckyi, the company currently has over ten locations running their curriculum across the Ukraine. However, they are still are in process of opening STEMCHIK branded location, which he says looks likely to come to fruition in 2023.
Mr Stoietckyi says the company’s current goal is to further build the brand and expand their footprint in the Ukraine, while building a few extra franchises across the Europe.
“The company is modern, simple-to-manage and sell,” he said. “It’s also well-grounded in its educational approach and financial management.”
“To start your own franchise, you’ll need Business experience,” says Volodymyr. Family-owned businesses are preferred, however a love for helping children and their development is a must.
The company offers full support and consulting from experienced specialists in both the preparation and opening of the business. A plus to the STEMCHIK franchise is that it has the potential to get started quickly. For example, a newly renovated premises can start teaching within a month.
The company believes that positive cash flows can be achieved between 4-12 months of operations, with a return on investments projected to hit ledgers at about 18 months of operation.

The Government is powerless to stop large multi-national companies like Starbucks and Google from paying almost no tax on their profits in this country, Britain’s most senior tax official admitted today.
Lin Homer, Permanent Secretary of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, told MPs the Government was currently unable to prevent big international corporations from declaring their profits in foreign countries with tiny tax rates - even if they made those profits in this country.
But within minutes of making the admission the Chancellor George Osborne announced that he was working with Germany in a concerted international attempt to address multinational tax evasion.
He said both counties would raise the issue at the G20 meeting in Mexico this weekend with the aim of introducing new OECD rules to outlaw the practice.
Next week senior executives from the coffee chain Starbucks are due to face MPs on the Public Administration Committee to explain why they have only paid £8.5 million in Corporation Tax despite in the last decade despite racking up £3bn in sales in the UK.
Officials from Apple and Google may also be called to give evidence to the Committee. Last year Google paid £6m in tax on a turnover of £395m while Apple is thought to be paying £14.4 million in tax on more than £1 billion of sales. It has been claimed that a more realistic tax bill would be closer to £570m.
The companies avoid the tax by setting up there international corporate headquarters in havens which attract next to no corporation tax. They have also been accused of adding artificially high costs – such as royalty payments – to the countries where they do business to cut down of their tax liabilities.
Giving evidence to the PAC Ms Homer said such practices were outside the scope of the HMRC’s powers and would require a coordinated international effort to tackle.
“All HMRC can do is to apply the laws and what I am acknowledging is that in an international setting multinational businesses can choose to some extent where some parts of their business are based and they can choose where some of their profits are based,” she said.
“I think that is very hard for individuals to understand and it is one of the reasons the Chancellor does want to make sure that the OECD stays ahead and does not allow an inappropriate amount of activity that would undermine tax systems.
“Many people, including quite a lot of finance ministers, would think that a situation where some countries offer a very, very low tax base is a challenge to all of us. That is different from saying that I have reservations about our expertise in enforcing the rules as they currently are.”
But Richard Bacon, deputy chair of the PAC, said most people would be outraged that a company with such a large presence in the UK as Starbucks could legally avoid paying the same rate of Corporation Tax as a smaller company that could not move its tax offshore.
“It smells and it doesn’t smell of coffee,” he said. “It smells bad.”
The Labour MP Austin Mitchell claimed it was part of a deliberate strategy to concentrate HMRC’s tax raising efforts on smaller companies and individuals who were less able to stand up to them
“You go easy on the big boys and go harder on the companies that can’t leave and have to pay their tax here,” he alleged.
“You are handling the big corps more gently, more kindly and generously than you are small and medium size British enterprises that can’t move their affair to a tax havens.”
Ms Homer denied this.
Announcing the move to try and get international Governments to work together to tackle tax avoidance Mr Osborne said he wanted Britain to have a competitive tax rates – but that those taxes needed to be paid
“We want competitive taxes that say Britain is open for business and that attract global companies to invest in and bring jobs to our country, but we also want global companies to pay those taxes,” he said.
“The best way to achieve that is through international action that ensures strong standards, without pricing ourselves out of the global market.“

Legendary French fashion designer Pierre Cardin has died at the age of 98, France’s Fine Arts Academy announced on Tuesday in a statement on Twitter.
“The Perpetual Secretary, Laurent Petitgirard, and the members of the Academy of Fine Arts are deeply saddened to announce the death of their colleague Pierre Cardin. He had been elected on 12 February 1992 to the chair of Pierre Dux,” the Fine Arts Academy said.
His creations adorned many stars of the day, among them Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, Jeanne Moreau, Jackie Kennedy, Charlotte Rampling, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.Cardin was among the first designers to capitalize on the business side of fashion, becoming a household name thanks to powerful branding.
He also broke with tradition through his futuristic designs — and by producing landmark unisex and ready-to-wear collections at a time when both were effectively unheard of Cardin was born in 1922 in San Biagio di Callalta, a small town in northeast Italy about 20 miles from Venice. He was born Pietro, but he became known as Pierre after his family relocated to France to escape fascism two years later.
As a young man, his first steps into fashion coincided with a move to Paris, where he worked on the costumes of Jean Cocteau’s film version of “Beauty and the Beast.” In 1946, he was hired as a tailor by his subsequent mentor, Christian Dior, who had just opened his couture house in Paris.Four years later, at the age of 28, Cardin founded his own eponymous fashion brand, first designing theater costumes, then moving into haute couture in 1953.
His breakout creation was the bubble dress — so called for the bubble-like shape of the area between the waist and the hemline — which he designed in 1954. It proved commercially successful worldwide, setting the stage for a string of fashion innovations.Hoping to make designer clothing more accessible, he launched his first ready-to-wear collection at the Printemps department store in Paris in 1959, a move so scandalous that it got him expelled from the Chambre Syndicale, the body governing French haute couture (he would be reinstated shortly after, before leaving of his own accord in 1966).

Pierre Cardin stands in his studio surrounded by models. Credit: Pierre Vauthey/Sygma/Getty ImagesDisplaying an early business nous, Cardin was among the first foreign designers to open shops in Japan, China and Russia.
He pioneered modern branding by lending his name to a variety of products — including perfumes, watches, cigarettes, and even frying pans — raising eyebrows in the traditional fashion world and earning serious money that he invested in real estate.
Among the designer’s property purchases were a Provence castle, once owned by the Marquis de Sade, and the famous Maxim’s restaurant in Paris, which he transformed into a global chain with locations in New York, Beijing and elsewhere.
In the 1960s, Cardin combined his interest in space exploration — he was photographed wearing Buzz Aldrin’s spacesuit two years after the moon landing — with a fascination for technical fabrics, by creating the groundbreaking space-age unisex collections.

Finally! Jetpack Joyride Arrives for Android Smartphones and Tablets
It’s been a long time coming, but one of the most enjoyable “freemium” games for iOS, Jetpack Joyride, is now available on Android.
The game runs really well on the latest hardware and looks great on larger screens. It’s a one-touch platformer with a great sense of humour and a lot of cool weapons and gadgets to use. And, unlike many freemium games, Jetpack Joyride never insists on you paying for extra items, and the player doesn’t feel at a disadvantage for it.
The game first launched on the iOS App Store last year, coming to Facebook back in May. During its exclusive tenure on the iOS App Store, it was the recipient of a bunch of different awards, including mobile game of the year from a handful of different websites. It’s safe to say that Jetpack Joyride has taken the mobile gaming world by storm, even if it isn’t quite as popular as Angry Birds.
It is now available for download at the Google Play Store.

When John Sfakianakis bought Tony’s Pizza, a Sutton landmark on Route 146 for more than 40 years, four months ago, he couldn’t have predicted how drastically the world would change so quickly.
“Who would have thought all this would happen?’’ he said. “It’s amazing.’’
And, he is weathering the crisis without his fiancée and twin sons, who were planning to fly to the United States soon from his native Greece, where they are living. But, with the pandemic, those plans are on hold.
For Sfakianakis, these are uncertain times, personally and professionally.
“It’s a little shaky for us,’’ he said of the business. “We hang in there, we pray, and we stay put.’’
Tony’s is offering takeout for their full menu. Monday, March 16, the last day that restaurants were allowed to open, he saw normal business. Tuesday, when the restrictions were put in place, business dropped 30%. By Friday, business had “been steady,’’ with no huge rush, with customers coming in steadily, he said.
With college students back in their home communities and local sports on hold, he is losing that important part of his business, he said, but he still serves local residents and local workers who are still on the job, which he appreciates.
“We all depend on each other,’’ he said.
Scales Seafood and More is another long-time popular restaurant, having been in Millbury for 30 years.
Shari Hanson has worked in the restaurant industry her entire career. She has owned the business for more than eight years, first with her husband, and then, after her divorce, on her own.
“It’s my life,’’ she said. “It supports my family, my children. I love it. I don’t know what I would do without it.’’
The crisis comes during a season that normally is her “bread and butter,’’ she said.
During Lent, seafood is a popular food choice, particularly on Fridays, and spring and summer, with warmer weather, bring out customers, she said.
But, Friday’s business heartened her, both the business response and the personal support from her customers, she wrote on Facebook.
“Just to hear the gratitude and well wishes was truly heartwarming. Everyone was understanding, even when we got to over an hour wait for food and happy that we were so busy. I am so grateful for all of you and proud to be a part of such a wonderful community! The humanity that I've seen these past few days is overwhelming. We are all in this together and this, too, shall pass. ‘’
At Puffins Restaurant in Millbury, business has been about 10% of what they usually see, owner Karen Benglian said.
“We’re doing the smallest fraction of what we normally do,’’ she said.
She has been forced to lay off much of her staff, at least for now.
But, she is hopeful that the takeout business, with curbside delivery, “will catch on,’’ as “people start thinking of us for takeout.’’
Puffins usually closes at 2 p.m., but they will now open into the evenings and offer packaged meals for families as well as individual servings, she said.
“Each day it gets a little bit better,’’ she said.
At Brickstone Kitchen in Sutton, the crisis comes early in its history. They have been open under current ownership since August 2018.
“It’s much more than a job, it’s a passion,’’ co-owner Justin Bonner said. “We’re really like a family.’’
With that family theme in mind, the restaurant has created family packages of food, as well as their individual menu.
“Instead of eating our food on our table, they can eat our food on their table,’’ he said.
They have laid off some servers and bartenders, but may bring them back to help with placing orders and packing up meals, he said.
He said that the takeout and delivery aspect of their business “took off running,’’ when it began Friday.
“We’ve been extremely busy,’’ he said, and people are in “good spirits.’’

After introducing a new set of Christmas coronavirus restrictions, Hull residents have called the decision made by government a "farce".
Prime Minister Boris Johnston held a briefing yesterday, scrapping plans to relax rules over the festive period.
The PM introduced a number of new rules, particularly affecting London and large parts of south-east England, with millions of people now placed in Tier 4.
The new rules from the government are in response to the discovery of a new strand of the virus which has a 70 per cent higher chance of transmission.
To get the Hull Live headlines every day, simply pop your email address into the sign-up box just beneath the picture at the top of this article.
Although, Hull and East Riding are staying in Tier 3 - meaning the only change to restrictions that residents will see is a cut back from five days of relaxed indoor mixing limited only to Christmas Day.
The government however have advised for people to "stay local" which has forced an end to some people's Christmas plans, especially those who planned to travel any length of distance.
People commenting on a post about the new restrictions on Hull Live's Facebook page have made their feelings known about the new restrictions, with a particular emphasis on key workers over the festive period.
Some social media users questioned the legitimacy of the new strand of coronavirus while others said their plans for the big day hadn't changed.
One concerned resident said: "What about the workers who are working Christmas Day, they now don't have a choice to see their families on a different day?"
Another agreed, stating their sympathy for those employed in emergency services: "All NHS workers, carers, fire, police, people in animal care.
"Not only are you working your Christmas day, you now have no choice in seeing your family.
"Oh but last week in Home Bargains I was knocked and budged out of way by strangers. But now I cant see my two little nieces. This system makes no sense."
One user called the new restrictions a "farce" and questioned the reason for the cutting back the indoor mixing rules.
She said: "It’s a farce now the whole thing. If you mix for one day you won’t catch it? What’s difference between mixing for 1 day or 5 days?"
Others said that the North and South divide had come into play yet again in England, with London seeing incomparable rates to that of Hull's skyrocketing rate only last month - yet in London more precautions have been taken.
"We are paying the price for keeping London in Tier 2. Their infection rate was far higher than in the North," said one user.
"It was probably their plan all along" said another user, who went on to say: "They told people Christmas would go ahead and that we can see family, so everyone spends money and boosts the economy, then at least minute tell everyone they cant anymore."
Some users voiced their concerns around social distancing at shops and their confusion over the strict rules when compared to shopping in crowds.
"Nobody's taking any notice I got laughed at by management at Asda Kingswood for questioning why so many people were in the shop and no social distancing was in place."
Another Hull resident said: "So those in retail all year can see around 3,000-6,000 people a week but can only see two other families at one time for a day?
I think this is when people’s common sense comes into play. My plans won’t change they have been the same all year."
Other reminded people posted positive comments, reminding people in Hull to stay safe.
"There is no magic so keep yourself safe - whilst looking after yourself you are looking after others."

How to turn into a CBD wholesaler?
Does Cbd Really Do Anything?
The Epidiolex trials have supplied some evidence of effectiveness, Park told me, however she still frets over the phenomenon. Sometimes parents of sufferers refuse established epilepsy treatments in favor of cannabis products, she says, because these are perceived as one way or the other pure and thus superior to standard medicines.
Seeking a euphoric excessive, leisure customers typically gravitate toward merchandise higher in THC. Medical patients, meanwhile, wish to management symptoms and should thus seek whole-plant merchandise that not only comprise more CBD than what leisure customers sometimes encounter but also other potentially healthful cannabinoids. Medical users are typically older, too, and a few proof suggests that THC is less poisonous to older brains than younger and may in some instances benefit older brains. Cooper recently obtained funding from the National Institutes of Health for a examine taking a look at cannabinoids — together with CBD in isolation — as a substitute for opioids, and numerous other clinical trials of CBDare underway. It shall be several years before results can be found, but these research should help clarify both what benefits the substance could provide and any side effects it could come with.
Does Cbd Oil Really Work? A Doctor Weighs In
Depending on who you ask, CBD is either the best thing to occur since sliced bread or it’s only a fad the dimensions of which has not often been seen anywhere on the earth. As with most issues, the reality is likely someplace in the center provided that anecdotal case research indicate unbelievable health and wellness results for hundreds of individuals throughout the globe. While this is the case, FDA drug approval for CBD is restricted to Epidiolex by GW Pharmaceuticals for epilepsy. One obvious resolution to the uncertainties round legality, high quality and security of CBD products would be to force all CBD into the F.D.A. drug-approval pipeline, making it a prescription drug solely.
Does Cbd Oil Really Do Anything?
However, the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill led to the federal decriminalization of these actions. As a outcome, non-THC CBD oil products derived from hemp are authorized to sell, purchase, and use/devour wherever within the U.S. In states the place leisure hashish is authorized, CBD products containing THC are also authorized. It’s a little extra uniform when the product is absorbed by smoking or vaping the oil, Ward mentioned.
So, What, Exactly Is The Truth About Cbd Oil? Does Cbd Oil Really Do Anything?
He provides that pain relief is the primary reason people with diabetes use CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another compound present in cannabis, in Canada. It’s value noting that CBD does not cause psychoactive results like THC, its chemical cousin. Then a colleague reminded her that she had always What is cannabidiol (CBD)? needed to check CBD for nerve ache. Martinez ordered CBD extract from a place in Colorado that seemed respected — Charlotte’s Web, it turned out. After about six weeks on the oil, the ringing in her ears disappeared and the opposite signs began to fade.
It is likely one of the over 60 chemical compounds found within the plant, generally known as cannabinoids. The commonest cannabinoids are CBD and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the latter being a psychoactive factor. Most people know the cannabis plant as marijuana, a highly in style schedule 1 drug that makes you “excessive.” However, it’s essential to note that the separate use of CBD won’t produce any such effect as a result of it’s non-psychoactive. Testing and labeling guidelines vary by state, however many states that enable legal hashish also require some sort of testing to verify that the THC and CBD ranges listed on the label are correct.
A examine revealed November 2017 in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that solely 30 p.c of CBD merchandise had been precisely labeled, with underneath- and over-labeling of CBD, and some merchandise containing unlisted chemicals similar to THC. TheU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)approved the first CBD treatment in 2018, for treating childhood epilepsy. Currently, there isn’t a other FDA-accredited CBD medicine for diabetes or any other situation, based on the FDA.
(The F.D.A. prohibits unproven well being claims.) Yet promises abound on the web, where quite a few articles and testimonials recommend that CBD can successfully treat not simply epilepsy but also nervousness, pain, sleeplessness, Crohn’s disease, arthritis and even anger. Plenty of reliable, if still inconclusive, analysis is being accomplished on CBD. The laws governing hashish and its chemical components have loosened up.
“I could swallow,” she told me. “I could walk down the street, type on a pc. It still does.” She accomplished the chemo, this time with fewer unwanted side effects. Martinez, inspired by her own experience, has since began a trial along with her colleague, a neurobiologist at Columbia named Margaret Haney, that can target taxane-induced neuropathy in breast-most cancers sufferers with a capsule containing each THC and CBD. The cannabinoids may go higher collectively for some circumstances, especially when pain is an element. Jacobson and other mother and father I spoke with argue that in troublesome medical circumstances, doctors are already tinkering with probably poisonous medicine, so why can’t they — the dad and mom or the patients — experiment with a much less-toxic product?
— JustCBD (@JustCbd) June 17, 2020
And the anecdotes which have emerged from what Elizabeth Thiele, an epileptologist at Harvard, calls the “vernacular” hashish movement have lent emotional drive to the claims made for CBD. In reality, probably the most compelling analysis they discovered for utilizing cannabinoids for ache got here from a big evaluation and meta-analysis printed in JAMA in 2015. For the research, researchers checked out outcomes from 79 earlier research of cannabinoids and varied medical situations, together with continual ache.
But, “there are apparent concerns about smoking one thing.” A 2007 review published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine discovered that smoking marijuana resulted in comparable declines in respiratory system well being as smoking tobacco. A similar review printed in 2014 in The American Journal of Cardiology discovered that marijuana smoke inhalation can enhance the possibilities of coronary heart attack or stroke. Neither evaluate analyzed the consequences of vaping hashish oil alone, so it’s unclear if it has the identical well being dangers as smoking other marijuana merchandise. CBD products that don’t comprise THC fall outdoors the scope of the U.S.
However, of these studies, only four concerned CBD (with out THC)—none of which were looking at pain. So although we’d assume that CBD is doing something to assist handle pain—in accordance with the studies involving the entire hashish plant—we don’t have nice evidence to prove it. One research looked at the effects of CBD and THC in 177 folks with cancer-related pain who did not experience aid from pain medicine. Right now, there’s an excellent likelihood that you just don’t actually know what you’re getting from any supply. Testing and labelingrules vary by state, but many states that enable legal hashish additionally require some type of testing to confirm that the THC and CBD levels listed on the label are correct.
And opioid-associated deaths have declined in states that legalized medical hashish, suggesting that people who have entry to much less-addictive options for ache management is probably not as likely to turn into hooked on opioids. When scientists at the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis (now Sanofi) understood that THC might whet a person’s appetite, they created a weight-loss drug that blocked CB1 receptors, hoping to suppress urge for food. Two years later, regulators pulled it from the market because of its severe unwanted effects, together with despair and suicidal conduct. The episode seems to exemplify endocannabinoids’ significance to our sense of nicely-being and the problem of manipulating them therapeutically.
Two years later, a examine revealed in JAMA documented that, in 84 merchandise sold on-line, 26 percent had less CBD than advertised and forty three p.c had extra. And the cannabis plant can absorb poisonous substances like heavy metals or pesticides as well as carry infective brokers. In 2017, a California man present process chemotherapy, whose immune system was weakened, died from a fungal an infection that his physicians suspect he acquired from the cannabis he smoked to ease his symptoms. THC may have therapeutic makes use of, significantly in treating the ache that often puts folks on a path main towards opioid habit. Several research have found that cancer sufferers want fewer opioid painkillers in the event that they’re additionally utilizing hashish.
Last year, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine launched an almost 500-web page reporton the well being effects of hashish and cannabinoids. A committee of 16 specialists from a variety of scientific and medical fields analyzed the available proof — greater than 10,000 scientific abstracts in all. Because so few research look at the effects of CBD by itself, the panel did not concern any findings about CBD particularly, however it did attain some conclusions about hashish and cannabinoids more usually. The D.E.A.’s classification of cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug, alongside heroin, peyote, ecstasy and LSD, has made it difficult for American scientists to check. Last 12 months, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine released an almost 500-web page report on the health results of cannabis and cannabinoids.
- Seeking a euphoric high, recreational users usually gravitate towards merchandise higher in THC.
- Although Gruber isn’t certain what accounts for the contrasting results, she has a number of theories.
- In 2014, Gruber started the Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery, or MIND, program to examine the consequences of medical hashish, and so far, she has discovered exactly the alternative in people who use cannabis as drugs.
- Their cognitive operate seems to improveover time and preliminary evidence suggests that, after initiation of medical-hashish therapy, their brain exercise begins to normalize.
CBD is only one of dozens of cannabinoids found in hashish, together with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the one liable for marijuana’s famous excessive. The unwanted effects and risks involved with consuming marijuana-based mostly products aren’t clear, both, Bonn-Miller said. It’s essential to “determine cannabinoids that are useful therapeutically while understanding and utilizing cannabinoids which are related to much less threat,” he said.
In 2014, Gruber started the Marijuana Investigations for Neuroscientific Discovery, or MIND, program to look at the consequences of medical hashish, and so far, she has discovered precisely the other in people who use hashish as medicine. Their cognitive operate seems to improveover time and preliminary evidence means that, after initiation of medical-hashish remedy, their mind exercise begins to normalize. Although Gruber just isn’t certain what accounts for the contrasting effects, she has a number of theories.
In 2015, the F.D.A. discovered that many CBD-labeled products really contained little or no CBD. It despatched out a flurry of letters warning companies not to make medical claims.
However, this testing is controversial, and results can range extensively between labs, Jikomes stated. A study revealed in Marchfound measurable variations in take a look at outcomes, with some labs persistently reporting higher or lower levels of cannabinoids than others.
The idea to strive hashish extract came to David after he discovered that the federal government held a patent on cannabidiol, a molecule derived from the hashish plant that’s generally known as CBD. Unlike the better-identified marijuana molecule delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, CBD isn’t psychoactive; it doesn’t get users high.
Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) Controlled Substances Act, which means CBD merchandise are legalto promote and consume so long as they do not have THC. That’s likely one of the reasons why CBD merchandise, including CBD oil, have gotten extra socially acceptable and increasingly popular. In 2016, Forbes reported that CBD products are anticipated to be a $2.2 billion industry by 2020. The popularity of medical marijuana is soaring, and among the many quite a few products shoppers are in search of are CBD, or cannabis oils.
The D.E.A.’s classificationof cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug, alongside heroin, peyote, ecstasy and LSD, has made it tough for American scientists to study. Much of the analysis into its therapeutic potential comes from other countries, including Brazil. In the Nineteen Seventies, Antonio Zuardi, a neuroscientist at the University of São Paulo, started looking into how cannabinoids affect psychological states. Large quantities of THC may trigger anxiety and paranoia in volunteers, he found, however CBD could attenuate the anxiety-scary and psychoticlike results of THC.

In December 2018, the FDA said it was illegal underneath the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to sell meals or dietary dietary supplements containing CBD. In April 2019, the FDA said that it’s taking new steps to gauge hashish merchandise, and it held a public hearing about hashish products in May 2019.
Cannabinoids are a category of compounds that work together with receptors all through your physique. CBD is only one of dozens of cannabinoidsfound in cannabis, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the one answerable for marijuana’s famous high. Medical cannabis is technically any cannabis product used for medicinal purposes, and these can comprise THC or CBD or both, stated Nick Jikomes, a neuroscientist at Leafly, a web site that provides information about authorized hashish. “A widespread mistake individuals make is to think that CBD is ‘the medical cannabinoid’ and THC is ‘the recreational cannabinoid.’” That’s inaccurate, he said, because THC is a potent anti-inflammatory and may be helpful for ache.
And, consultants caution that as a result of CBD oil and different hashish-based merchandise usually are not regulated or examined for safety by the government or any third-get together company, it is troublesome for customers to know precisely what they’re getting. “We don’t know that THC or CBD exerts an impact on diabetes itself, and that means control of blood sugars,” says Cory Toth, MD, a neurologist at Fraser Health at Burnaby Hospital in British Columbia.
Attempts to extend native cannabinoids with artificial drugs have fared no better. In 2016, French scientists halted a examine of a drug designed to boost endocannabinoids. For causes that remain unclear, six sufferers who took the medicine, meant to deal with pain, have been hospitalized.
All these effects, of course, are nonetheless up for debate as we proceed to study CBD, particularly with regard to how it works in tandem with THC. By and large, however, you’ve got probably observed that the question of how CBD “feels” is really more about what you don’tfeel if you take it — whether that is ache, nausea, anxiety, irritation or despair. This is the important thing distinction between CBD and THC, which may confer comparable therapeutic advantages but brings a number of different effects together with it, not all benign or predictable. “What you set in your body is actually important,” says Jackson, adding that’s very true for individuals with major well being circumstances together with diabetes. Jackson speaks from personal experience as a mother discovering CBD remedies for her son’s epilepsy.
That means it’s onerous to know how a lot CBD or THC is really in any given product. Certain hemp CBD merchandise have been discovered to include considerably less CBD or extra THC than marketed. Although some CBD oil is synthetically produced, most CBD products are derived from hemp crops. Historically, authorized restrictions have limited the production, sale, and consumption of hemp-primarily based products.
CBD products do have sure side effects, but they’re normally uncommon and delicate. They embody drowsiness, lowered blood pressure, dry mouth, itching, and irritability.
More than half of the merchandise contained significantly lower ranges of cannabinoids than the label promised, and a few of them contained solely negligible amounts of the compounds. “We must come up with methods to confidently confirm the composition of hashish merchandise and make this info available to consumers,” Jikomes stated. A wealth of marketing material, blogs and anecdotes declare that CBD oils can remedy whatever ails you, even cancer. But the restricted research doesn’t mean that hashish oil should take the place of typical medication, except for in two very uncommon types of epilepsy (and even then, it is recommended only as a final-resort remedy).
Scientists could search for alerts on what to check on this sea of self-experimentation. Realm of Caring, nonetheless run by Heather Jackson, is already doing this in partnership with educational researchers, sharing data from a 55,000-particular person registry that features data on what persons are utilizing cannabis for and what side effects and benefits they see. It’s affordable to ask why the CBD naturally present in hashish doesn’t protect leisure users from the unfavorable results of THC. In older varieties, where the CBD-to-THC ratio was nearer to 1-to-1, possibly it did.
But within the late 1990s, scientists at the National Institutes of Health found that it could produce outstanding medicinal results. In check tubes, the molecule shielded neurons from oxidative stress, a dangerous course of frequent in many neurological disorders, including epilepsy. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring substance found in hashish vegetation.
There are not any guarantees that the label accurately displays what’s in the product. For a 2015 research published in JAMA, researchers tested 75 products bought in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle and located that solely 17 p.c were accurately labeled.
A research revealed in March found measurable variations in test results, with some labs constantly reporting greater or decrease levels of cannabinoids than others. Though scientific research on the consequences of CBD remains scarce, growing anecdotal evidence reveals it might assist folks with everything from generalized aches and pains to insomnia, and should even assist cancer sufferers overcome chemo-related nausea. Perhaps some of the well known issues CBD could help with, though, is anxiousness.
She says customers should ask producers whether CBD products are free of mould, pesticides, and other toxins. Of the CBD products available on the market, Jackson says it’s typically troublesome to know what’s inside.
Somewhat surprisingly, Catherine Jacobson doesn’t need that to occur. Early on, she thought all medical cannabis products should go through the F.D.A.’s approval process. But she realized that her main concern, high quality, could possibly be assured with out this expensive, time-consuming undertaking. In Germany, as an example, medical doctors have been able to prescribe cannabis since 2017, and patients get a pharmaceutical-grade product, because a federal company oversees the medical-marijuana business. The greatest concern, nonetheless, and one I heard repeatedly from dad and mom and physicians, is quality control.
At least with CBD, he mentioned, it would not appear to have the potential for habit. That’s different from THC, which has been associated with dependancy, he mentioned, and unfavorable unwanted effects, together with acute nervousness. One reason some physicians look askance at the vernacular cannabis movement is that it could possibly, in its sometimes quasi-non secular devotion to the plant, appear almost cultlike. Kristen Park, an epileptologist at Children’s Hospital in Colorado, informed me that after Gupta’s CNN story aired, sufferers from around the country in search of medical cannabis inundated the hospital. She had no knowledge at that point on its efficacy and did not advocate it.
Studies on a certain CBD producer showed its products were contaminated with a chemical known as 5F-ADB, which mimics THC. Drug Enforcement Administration as unlawful, doubtlessly addictive and with no accepted medical use. But as long as CBD oil isn’t marketed as a medication or a dietary supplement, producers can get round that policy.

Studies are additionally needed to establish one of the simplest ways to manage and dose CBD. “I get emails from individuals asking me what dose of CBD to make use of, and the truth is, we really don’t know,” Cooper stated. Their cognitive operate seems to enhance over time and preliminary evidence means that, after initiation of medical-hashish therapy, their brain activity begins to normalize. Cooper just lately got funding from the National Institutes of Health for a study looking at cannabinoids — including CBD in isolation — as an alternative choice to opioids, and numerous different medical trials of CBD are underway.
Other dad and mom insist hashish is helping their kids when, in her view, it clearly isn’t — and so they refuse to stop utilizing it when they need to move on to other remedies. “Because of all the hype, people somehow suppose this can be a treatment-all and a therapy that can repair every little thing,” she told me. What’s misplaced on many, she says, is that even when CBD helps, it’s still simply one other drug, and no drug works for everyone on a regular basis.

The Indian markets have shed gains and are trading in red during the post noon trading session. Most of the sectoral indices are trading in red with realty and banking stocks leading the pack of losers. However, stocks from power, IT and healthcare sectors are witnessing buying interest.
Most of the Indian pharma stocks are trading in green, with Wockhardt Ltd and Cadila healthcare being the leading gainers. Dr Reddy's is sued by two Japan based companies, Tejin pharma and Takeda, in the district court of Delaware, US. The litigation was filed as Dr Reddy's filed a Para IV on the said companies' drug Uloric brand (generically known as febuxostat). The said drug is available in tablet form in 40mg and 80mg strengths. Uloric is indicated for chronic management of hyperuricemia in patients with gout. Dr Reddy's had filed an ANDA (Abberivated new drug application) along with para IV, challenging the company's patent expiring in Jun 2018. The other patent which expires in March 2019, is not challenged by Dr Reddy's. The Japanese companies have also sued Mylan for filing Para IV on the Uloric. Both Mylan and Dr Reddys were sued on the same day and seem to be FTF (First to file) filers. And thus these companies can be entitled for 180-days exclusivity. The annual branded sales of Urolic is $ 260 m for 12 months ending June 2013.
Majority of the FMCG stocks are trading in the green with Lakshmi Energy and Jyothy Consumer being the biggest gainers whereas Hindustan Unilever and Colgate are among the major losers. As per a leading financial daily, Marico is developing a prototype of its Saffola edible oil for the rural markets in the light of slowdown in urban demand. Currently Saffola's reach is limited to 6-10 metro markets and does not have rural distribution. The Saffola edible oil franchise grew by a subdued 7% in FY13. As per Marico, the slowdown has not been on account of downtrading by existing customers but slower new customer additions. The company wants to tap the potential in the rural markets and expects it to contribute about 2% additional growth for the brand. The company is test-marketing its saffola prototype in one state. Reportedly, rural markets account for 35% of Marico's overall sales. The company has expanded its Saffola oil franchise through new variants and price points and expects growth of 10% over the next few quarters. Marico's stock is currently trading up by 0.3%.

Business Development Manager, Chris Harper, is due to fly out to Filtermist’s new office in Shanghai, before travelling on to Tokyo where he will spend six days with Dynex Corporation, as well as meeting with UKTI Tokyo to discuss further opportunities in Japan.
Dynex will be showcasing the newest addition to Filtermist’s product range, the F Monitor, as well as the ultra-compact S Series oil mist filter and popular FX Series oil mist filter, and is confident of an enthusiastic reception following extremely successful JIMTOF shows in previous years.
Chris Harper comments, “JIMTOF is the largest machine tool show in Japan. The 2012 show attracted more than 128,000 visitors and organisers are anticipating an even greater number this year.
"The 2014 show will be the 16th time Dynex has exhibited at JIMTOF and the 11th as an official Filtermist distributor. I am looking forward to meeting a variety of existing Filtermist customers, as well as companies who may not be quite so familiar with our brand.”
Japan is a highly important market for Filtermist. According to the UKTI’s Exporting to Japan guide, manufacturing accounts for 22% of the country’s GVA; sales of Filtermist oil mist filters are testimony to this figure, having increased by more than 50% in recent years.
The country offers such potential for Filtermist that Chris is currently learning the language to help him build relationships with both Dynex and key customers in Japan. He has been undertaking 1-1 tuition at the Brasshouse Language Centre in Birmingham for the past 18 months and is looking forward to practicing his conversing skills in November.
Chris says, “I last visited Japan in February of this year, so hopefully Dynex will notice an improvement in my Japanese speaking skills this time around!”
Dynex will be located on Stand W2063 at JIMTOF 2014, taking place at the Tokyo International Exhibition Centre from 30th October – 4th November. Find out more about the show by visiting http://jimtof.org or go to our exhibitions page for details of further international exhibitions Filtermist is attending.

When it comes to storing your precious data on the cloud, it goes without saying that you would want to ensure that there are relevant security measures in place to make sure that whatever sensitive information you have there would remain privy to your eyes only – and no one else. Popular online storage service Box Inc. allows businesses to control their encryption keys, which happen to be the encoding tools that are utilized so that your data would remain safe.
Of course, nothing can be said to be a 100% effective and foolproof method in terms of security where the digital world is concerned, as there always seems to be a way to be able to find one’s way through even the most secure of defenses. Still, this move by Box would help aid some heavily regulated industries as well as other parties who have very real fears concerning hacking attacks or government snooping.
Box CEO Aaron Levie mentioned, “We think is really going to unlock a new set of customers and break one of the last barriers for cloud adoption. It’s less of a response to threat landscape and more about the regulatory environment.”

Palmerston North Electric Vehicle Fast Charger Opens
The much-anticipated opening of Palmerston North's first fast charge electric vehicle station will take place on Friday [Nov 25].
The charge station, located on The Square between Broadway Avenue and Main Street, is a joint project between Powerco and ChargeNet NZ, in collaboration with Palmerston North City Council.
The first ‘plug-in’ will be carried out by Palmerston North City Councillor Brent Barrett, who is responsible for portfolios of transport and environmental and sustainability.
“The Council is pleased to be collaborating with ChargeNet and PowerCo on this project. As a transport hub, transitioning to clean energy vehicles offers the Manawatu a win:win for economic and environmental wellbeing,” he says.
Mr Barrett is also the proud owner of an electric vehicle.
“Locally there is growing interest in electric vehicles as safe, climate-friendly cars that are fun to drive. We congratulate ChargeNet for its pioneering initiative, and look forward to the rapid expansion of the network in New Zealand,” he says.
“The Manawatu is one of the most active regions in the country in terms of embracing electric vehicles, something of which it can be rightfully proud,” says Powerco chief executive Nigel Barbour.
“The Palmerston North station is an important link in a growing nationwide network of fast chargers and will be a game-changer for both local and visiting electric vehicle owners.”
Transport is responsible for 44% of New Zealand’s carbon dioxide emissions and around 16% of total greenhouse gas emissions. With 80% of New Zealand’s electricity supply generated from renewable resources, as a country we are in the perfect position to make a real difference, adds Mr Barbour.
“We hope the charger will encourage even more people to make the switch to electric vehicles, which are cheaper, cleaner and quieter to run than traditional petrol and diesel-fuelled vehicles. With most electric vehicles taking six to eight hours to charge via a domestic power point, one of the challenges until now has been the ability to charge them when away from home, but fast charge stations like this one can charge a vehicle in less than 25 minutes,” he says.
The Palmerston North fast charge station will be the fourth opened this year by Powerco and ChargeNet NZ, who are opening another fast charge station together in Featherston on the same day.
ChargeNet NZ is the operator of the only nationwide network of electric vehicle charging stations in New Zealand, having opened fast charge stations the length of the country in collaboration with a number of electricity suppliers.
This week will also see ChargeNet NZ open a fast charge station in Napier, another key link-up point for the North Island.
Charge Net Chief Executive Steve West says it’s “incredibly exciting” to see how far New Zealand has come with charging infrastructure.
“We have more fast chargers than Australia, and that growth curve is showing no signs of slowing. We are working closely with wonderful and forward thinking companies like Powerco and BMW, alongside national and local government,” says Mr West.
“This is another step to make full energy independence a reality for New Zealand. The Palmerston North charging station is another important addition to ChargeNet’s growing network.”
The first vehicle to be officially plugged in at the Palmerston North fast charger will be a BMW i3.
Parked up alongside it will be a much older model, a 1916 electric car from the Detroit Electric Company, owned by Palmerston North vintage and classic car enthusiast Brian Rankine.
Although not currently in working order, the vehicle, which is that depicted as the car driven by Disney’s Grandma Duck character, will provide a striking contrast in illustrating how far electric vehicles have progressed over the past century.
“Electric vehicles are as old as petrol vehicles. In fact Henry Ford’s wife Clara drove one, preferring it over the Model T,” explains Mr Rankine.
“But they had a limited range and speed and in the 20th Century there was a move away from them. With advances in modern technology, it is now coming full circle,” he says.

Shopping online pays off for new owners of Woodstock ice cream shop
- Merry Mackinnon
- The Bee - Features
With its free website for selling anything from horses to clothes dryers (and, the police report, a whole lot more), 'Craigslist' has revolutionized the world of classified advertising.
The online site also radically changed Bradley Backman's life, when the West Linn resident scanned Portland's Craigslist one day for equipment and - instead - found an ice cream shop for sale.
For a long time, Backman and his wife have dreamed of building an island-themed smoothie business from the ground up. He had even written a business plan, and had been storing freezers and other equipment, including a surf board.
"My wife and I wanted to have an ice cream yogurt shop for the longest time,' explained Backman, on how they recently came to be the new owners of Woodstock's former 'Island Creamery'.
After contacting Jane Glanville, the Island Creamery's owner, the couple visited the shop, and saw that it was located in a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood town center, and already had a tropical decor - the very features the couple, who love Hawaii, had visualized in a business.
So they took the leap, and bought the shop, which reopened in mid-December under the new name 'Surf Shack Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt'.
'It worked out good for us,' he said. 'And we kept a lot of the same feel that it had when it was Island Creamery.'
There are some changes, however. The shop now has soft-serve yogurt, and the smoothie selection has been expanded, with new recipes offering non-frozen fruit and choice of fruit juice, yogurt, or sorbet. And the menu also now includes fruit parfaits, layered with pineapple, raspberries, and blueberries, for instance.
But the ice cream is the same, provided by Umpqua Dairy. And Backman retained the same Island Creamery cake maker, previously profiled in THE BEE, to create from scratch the exotic ice cream cakes in Surf Shack's refrigerated display case.
That decision pleased Woodstock resident Sheryl Berggren, as she's been buying the cakes all along. 'We love the cakes,' said Berggren, having come into Surf Shack right before the Holidays to buy one.
Alongside towering cakes looking like miniature buttes were the Christmas cakes. And Berggren, consulting with a family member via cell phone, had come to the shop to buy one for the holidays -- possibly, she thought, the chocolate poinsettia cake with mint chips.
Meanwhile, since it's the middle of winter, the ice cream business is a bit slow, but Backman expects it to pick up in spring. 'I hope people stop in,' he said, wearing his Hawaiian shirt, a reminder of tropical sea breezes, hot sand, beach umbrellas and fruit drinks.
Certainly, many will be glad that the ice cream shop just around the corner from Safeway, facing Woodstock Boulevard at Southeast 45th, once again is a place to sip a smoothie or buy an ice cream cone, regardless of how just hot or cold it may be outside.

According to a recent survey by the credit insurer Acredia, 86% of companies see economic crime as a threat
Vienna (OTS) –
- New technologies like machine learning and fake videos push security concepts to the limit
- Only 33 percent of businesses claim to be insured against white-collar crime damages.
- New insurance product from market leader Acredia wants to close gaps in protection
In our digital world, the question is no longer if a company will become a victim of white-collar crime, but when.“, said Michael Kolb, CEO of the largest national credit insurer Acredia, on the occasion of the presentation of a current survey*. Around 150 Austrian companies were surveyed on the subject of white collar crime in cooperation with the institute of market research Peter Hajek Public Opinion Strategies.
“We wanted to know how high companies estimate the risk of becoming victims of white-collar crime,” reports Kolb. “
57 percent rate the threat as very high or high, and another 29 percent rate the threat as medium. Only 14 percent rate the risk as low.“
New technologies as an additional threat
Businesses today are faced with order fraud, rerouted payment flows, embezzlement, embezzlement, phishing, spyware, etc., among other things.says Michael Kolb. At the same time, criminals are becoming more creative and spying on companies in depth before the actual attack. “
New technologies constantly open holes in corporate security networks. With machine learning and deepfake videos, voice and image can now be imitated in a deceptively real way.Kolb warns.
Therefore, companies must continually adapt their security concepts. Small and medium-sized businesses, in particular, can quickly reach their organizational and financial limits. This makes them an ideal gateway for scammers targeting large companies.
Risk is highly valued, but rarely hedged
However, the risk of white collar crime is rarely insured. Only 33 percent of companies surveyed said they had adequate insurance. After all, four percent plan to insure their business in the next year and 57 percent are considering insurance. “
There is a huge protection gap here, especially considering how quickly fraud methods are evolving.‘, emphasizes Kolb.
New insurance product to close gaps in protection
A new insurance product especially for SMEs is now coming onto the market, which is intended to help close the gaps in protection. “
ACREDIA Trust is a so-called fidelity insuranceKolb explains. “
This allows companies to insure themselves against financial losses caused by criminal acts of trusted persons or third parties..”
Examples of typical crimes covered by the ACREDIA Trust are:
- Fake President/Bogus CEO Scam
- order fraud
- payment fraud
- Property crimes, such as property damage, embezzlement, or theft
- Betrayal of own and third party trade secrets
- Know breaches of duty
- External attacks targeting IT systems, such as phishing and keyloggers
The groups of perpetrators are diverse and can range from unknown hackers to the staff of third-party service providers and your own administration.
ACREDIA Trust will be available on the market from mid-September.

JimD Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 February 18, 2009 A Painful Departure for Some G.M. Brands By MICHELINE MAYNARD DETROIT — The brand that was once hailed as an important part of the future of General Motors now will be part of its past. G.M. said Tuesday that it would phase out its Saturn brand by 2012. It does not plan to develop any more new vehicles for Saturn, which began 19 years ago as an effort to attract owners of small Japanese cars. G.M. also said it was considering its options for the Pontiac division. The Pontiac name, part of the car business since 1932, could remain on some models, but may no longer be a separate division. G.M. said Pontiac would be a “focused brand” with fewer models. The disclosures by G.M., contained in a viability plan submitted to the government, means that G.M. plans to cut its brands in half, to four: Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC. It said last fall that it would try to find buyers for Hummer and Saab. On Tuesday, it said it would decide on Hummer’s fate by March 31. But is four the right number? After all, most of its big competitors, including Toyota, Honda and Chrysler, build their businesses around three brands or fewer in the United States. Ford is moving to shed its foreign brands and plans to focus primarily on three — Ford, Lincoln and Mercury. “A volume brand and a premium brand can get the job done. Toyota has proven that,” said Karl Brauer, editor in chief of Edmunds.com, a Web site that offers car-buying advice. “Cadillac, Chevy, done.” The more brands a carmaker has, the more it must spread money around to develop vehicles and market them. As a result, “every brand suffers,” said A. Andrew Shapiro, a managing partner with the Casesa Shapiro Group. “No particular brand or brands can achieve the share of voice that they need.” Full article; Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone.

I’ve been watching the connected device trend develop for the last ten years and it’s just now starting to get interesting. What happens to the device market from here will depend a lot on the established players in the PC industry.
When I say “established players” I don’t mean Microsoft, which is meeting the Chromebook challenge the same way they met the Android challenge; by signing deals with hardware manufacturers to pay them off to avoid patent litigation. Chromebook supplier Wistron recently signed a deal to pay the Microsoft patent tax on Chromebooks and there will be others. You’re already paying the same Microsoft patent premium on Android devices.
That is an unsustainable business model for Microsoft that also seems a little pathetic. Sticking to it will ultimately leave Microsoft as relevant in the technology world as Kodak is in the world of imaging.
Connected devices like tablets and Chromebooks are at a clumsy stage in their own development. Chromebooks are not quite replacements for a full size laptop or desktop but they’re powerful enough for 90 percent of the routine tasks most people perform on their larger computers.
It’s that last 10 percent that’s going to determine whether connected devices become the standard or we all face up to buying a new generation of laptops. Right now the last mile for Chromebooks are applications like Illustrator, Photoshop and heavy video editing and rendering in applications like Premiere Pro. Chromebooks just don’t have the juice to run big apps and the native applications are still a ways off. A lot will depend on where development goes at places like Adobe, which is heavily invested in the desktop market.
Productivity applications, like Word and Excel, are starting to fall to cloud alternatives although adoption is irregular. I’m not counting productivity apps in the 10 percent of applications keeping people chained to a laptop.
Hardware manufacturers have seen the disembodied hand writing on the wall and jumped into the device market, but it’s low-end hardware. The hardware limitations almost seem designed to protect the manufacturer’s own laptop and desktop market. So far only Google has dared put more punch into Chromebook appliances but the pricetag will certainly discourage many people from even considering a high powered appliance which is a little like being able to brag about having the fastest go-kart in town.
For the moment, Google’s Pixel is the fastest go-kart in town but with its sleek aluminum construction, boot up times measured in seconds and high definition monitor it shows what Chromebooks are capable of being at a time PC and laptop manufacturers may secretly want them to go the way of netbooks. Chromebooks, and the concept behind them, are very disruptive to the big hardware and big software models that have been around for decades.
Google knows that and isn’t standing still to give anyone a chance to corral Chromebooks to serve the status quo. Development for Android and native applications for Chromium OS are flying ahead and the features of an online operating system like instant backups, cloud synchronization, automatic updates and integration of Google services are already compelling features that can only improve in the days ahead.
The real sea change will come if Adobe releases functionally competitive cloud versions of their popular image editing and video editing software. If they wait too long that runs the risk of watching their market share be eaten away by more nimble competitors.
For now most of us are still juggling a smartphone, which we use increasingly more often, a laptop or desktop, which we use less often and are loath to carry, and some assortments of tablets, netbooks or e-readers. What you’ll be carrying in two years and what operating system it will be running is still up in the air, but what is certain is you will have more functionality in fewer devices.
