Globalstar, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: GSAT) is screaming for the top in the market this morning, following up on the gains seen in the stock yesterday. However, with no press releases or SEC filings, many are wondering why the stock is ticking up.
Here’s what’s going on:

Why Globalstar Stock Is Up
As mentioned above, Globalstar is flying in the market this morning, trading on gains of more than 8% early on and following up on more than 15% gains we saw in the stock yesterday. However, if you’re looking for SEC filings or press releases that may have caused the move, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything.
So, what’s the deal?
The gains seem to be the result of the fact that retail investors are building the conversation surrounding Globalstar. Recently, there has been quite a bit of positive news out of GSAT. The most important of which is that Qualcomm (QCOM) will be using the company’s Band n53 technology in its new 5G modem.
Nonetheless, GSAT is a leader in the global communication industry, and thanks to various points of positive news as of late, that leadership is growing. So, we’re seeing retail investors posting due diligence on the stock all over social media.
A Short Squeeze Could Send GSAT Soaring
While the gains we’ve seen from GSAT over the past couple of trading sessions have been impressive, they may just be the beginning. Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen what can happen when retail investors band together to purchase heavily shorted stocks.
Well, Wall Street Bets Redditors, the same group that showed just how powerful retail investors can be, have been chatting about Globalstar as of late. Moreover, when you dig into the details of the stock, it becomes clear that a big short squeeze may be on the horizon.
Keep in mind that when we talk about GSAT stock, we’re talking about a stock with short interest in the 22% range. Any short interest over 20% is incredibly high and could result in a tremendous short squeeze. After all, when heavily shorted stocks tick up, those who hold short positions are forced to buy shares to cut the bleeding.
All told, the recent gains have been impressive, however, they may just be the beginning for GSAT.
What Analysts Think About GSAT Stock
Analysts aren’t huge fans of Globalstar stock. In fact, according to TipRanks, there’s only one analyst that’s currently weighing in on the stock, and that analyst rates the stock a Sell.
Moreover, the price target on GSAT currently sits at $0.55 per share, suggesting that significant declines may be ahead.
Nonetheless, it’s worth mentioning that the analyst coverage on the stock is largely outdated and doesn’t take into account Qualcomm’s use of the company’s Band n53, nor other recent news that could send GSAT stock for the top.
All in all, Globalstar is an interesting play at the moment. As retail investors continue to band behind the stock, the potential for a short squeeze only grows. With such heavy short interest, the squeeze could be massive. As such, GSAT stock is one worth watching closely.

Incandescent bulbs are quickly going out of style, with tighter efficiency standards in the United States and other countries aimed at phasing them out altogether. Their warm glow is pleasant, but they are energy hogs, so it is logical to replace them with efficient alternatives, compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) and light-emitting diode bulbs (LEDs). These new bulbs give off less heat, use less energy, and last longer than incandescent bulbs, but the light they emit is known for being harsher than the old bulbs most people are used to. Now, it looks like incandescent bulbs might have a fighting chance to stick around, thanks to an innovative new design from researchers at MIT and Purdue University.
The researchers say their new bulb is three times more efficient than today’s incandescents, and it even matches the efficiency of some of today’s CFLs and LEDs. With some improvements to the design, their incandescent bulb could actually be more efficient than the bluer alternatives. Traditional incandescent bulbs waste more than 95 percent of their energy by producing heat in the form of infrared radiation instead of visible light, so the researchers found a way to recycle that heat and put it to good use.
In the new design, the bulb’s filament is surrounded by photonic crystals that capture the infrared waves and reflect them back to the filament to be re-absorbed and re-emitted (in other words, recycled) as visible light.
While this is good news for incandescent bulbs, the research has much broader implications. It proves that applying new photonic designs to traditional devices can improve energy-coversion schemes such as thermo-photovoltaics. “The ability to control thermal emissions is very important. That’s the real contribution of this work,” said MIT researcher Marin Soljačic, who is one of the authors of a paper in Nature Nanotechnology about the breakthrough.

Vasily Friezen notes that Russia will be satisying all of its pork needs within five years.
Russia could be self-sufficient in pig meat within five years.
Speaking at trade show EuroTier, director general of Russian feed concern MegaMix Vasily Friezen noted that while not achieving the growth rates achieved in the poultry industry, the country’s pig producers were, nevertheless, recording strong levels.
Currently, the country only produces 50% of the pig meat consumed by the population.
He continued that while the country should be self-sufficient in poultry meat by the end of next year, the cattle sector could take some 18-20 years to satisfy internal demand for beef.
A variety of factors are helping to drive production on the supply side. The government, in an attempt to reduce imports, is subsidizing farmers to stimulate local production. Another factor is that farmers have ever more access to information and improved genetics, allowing producers to raise productivity.
If US country of origin labeling laws aren’t swiftly changed, retaliation from Mexico and Canada will happen, many say

On January 27, the Canada Plastics Pact launched with more than 40 partners including Metro Vancouver and the National Zero Waste Council. The Canada Plastics Pact is a new initiative to accelerate a circular plastics economy, mobilizing leaders from across the plastics value chain behind a common vision and ambitious set of targets to address plastic packaging waste at the source.
“For decades, Canada’s local governments have been doing their utmost to manage the growing amount of plastic waste. Though recycling is important, we need more upstream solutions to prevent plastic from becoming waste in the first place,” said Director Froese, Metro Vancouver Board of Directors and Chair, Metro Vancouver Zero Waste Committee. “We are pleased to be the first local government to engage with the Canada Plastics Pact and look forward to supporting our fellow partners and signatories to advance a circular economy for plastic for the benefit of our environment, climate and economy.”
Canada Plastic Pact partners will work together to rethink the way they design, use, and reuse plastics. The goal is to collectively make progress towards four clear, actionable targets by 2025:
- Defining a list of plastic packaging that is to be designated as problematic or unnecessary and taking measures to eliminate it.
- Supporting efforts towards 100% of plastic packaging being designed to be reusable, recyclable or compostable.
- Undertaking ambitious actions to ensure that at least 50% of plastic packaging is effectively recycled or composted.
- Ensuring an average of at least 30% recycled content across all plastic packaging.
“The National Zero Waste Council is proud to have played a role in the development of the Canada Plastics Pact, which represents a timely opportunity for Canada to turn the rising tide of plastic pollution,” said Malcolm Brodie, Chair, National Zero Waste Council. “Canada has a major role to play in the worldwide effort to advance a circular economy for plastics and we look forward to collaborating with stakeholders and leaders across the value chain to make plastic pollution a thing of the past.”
The Global Plastics Pact is led by the UK-based Ellen MacArthur Foundation which is working to create a circular economy for plastics worldwide. More information and a full list of partners can be found at plasticspact.ca.

The federal government recently printed $4 trillion for the bank bailouts in its quantitative easing program with no inflation. Our plan for a Universal Basic Income uses mostly money already in the economy. In monetary economics, leading theory states that inflation is based on changes in the supply of money. Our UBI plan has minimal changes in the supply of money because it is funded by a Value-added Tax.
It is likely that some companies will increase their prices in response to people having more buying power, and a VAT would also increase prices marginally. However, there will still be competition between firms that will keep prices in check. Over time, technology will continue to decrease the prices of most goods where it is allowed to do so (e.g., clothing, media, consumer electronics, etc.). The main inflation we currently experience is in sectors where automation has not been applied due to government regulation or inapplicability – primarily housing, education, and healthcare. The real issue isn’t Universal Basic Income, it’s whether technology and automation will be allowed to reduce prices in different sectors.See more FAQs

“A compact giant for a new urban spirit.”
smart, known mostly for its tiny two-seat cars, is working on a new model, which will be an SUV We guess, however, that it will be a kinda small crossover/SUV.
The news was officially announced by Daniel Lescow, Vice President of global Sales, Marketing & After-Sales, smart Automobile Co., Ltd (a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and Geely), although we heard rumors already in May.
The new smart eSUV will be, of course, all-electric, based on Geely’s new Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform and produced in China for the Chinese market, as well as for Europe.
“We are convinced that our new SUV will quickly establish itself as a leader in the segment and spearhead a transformation in the meaning and the look of an urban, electric lifestyle.”
It’s expected that this new model should be ready around 2022, but don’t expect the eSUV in the U.S., as smart retired from North America.
Currently, smart offers two BEVs: fortwo and forfour EQ models:

Facebook has a new pitch for Hollywood celebrities and other famous people: Come broadcast yourself on our Live streaming video service, where you can reach your fans and find new ones.
We might even pay some of you to play along.
This isn’t the first time Facebook has tried recruiting famous people to use some part of its service, but it is the first time it has used money as an incentive. It isn’t promising huge sums. But it’s still a big deal, conceptually, for a company that has previously shied away from licensing content or paying creators.
Facebook is also signaling its seriousness by sending in the big guns to make its case: Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg is in Los Angeles this week, chatting up talent agencies about her plans.
People familiar with Sandberg’s pitch say that she’s trying to promote the reach of Live, which opened up — to celebrities first — last summer and is now a focus for CEO Mark Zuckerberg and thus the rest of the company.
In the near term, she’s trying to sign up a small group of test subjects — one source thinks she’s looking for about 100 — to start actively using the service on a regular basis, and to give a subset of that group some kind of payment for doing so.
The idea is that, long-term, Facebook thinks the service will generate ad revenue, and that instead of paying celebrities directly, it can share the ad revenue with celebrities who generate it, in the same way YouTube does with its individual content creators. (Disclosure: My brother is a product manager at Facebook. For obvious reasons we don’t talk about his job.)
A Facebook rep confirmed the meetings and its overall effort and offered this statement: “We’re investing in live video as we think it’s a great fit for our platform — more and more people are choosing to watch and share live video on Facebook because it is personal, real-time and authentic. Live is a really new format on Facebook and we’re just starting to understand its potential. To that end, we’re testing different ways to support partners so they begin experimenting with Facebook Live. We’ll be working closely with these partners to learn from them how we can build the best Facebook Live experience and explore with them potential monetization models.”
Note the hedge there about “potential monetization”: Facebook doesn’t have ads on Live now and hasn’t figured out how it wants them to show up there, so it doesn’t want to oversell the amount of money that talent can make on the platform.
That’s why it wants to offer some money, to some people, to prime the pump in the meantime.
But this isn’t the same kind of investment that Netflix is making to acquire movies, or even the money that YouTube has spent in the past to promote its ill-fated “channel” pitch or its more recent effort to keep talent from migrating to platforms like Vessel.
One person who’s heard the pitch came away thinking that Facebook would be offering six-figure sums to a handful of famous people.
Facebook is also not focused solely on the kind of famous people who appear onscreen at the Oscars; one person familiar with the company’s Live plans say it is interested in comedians as well as niche digital celebrities who are likely to understand how to broadcast themselves on the social network.
While Facebook is currently pushing Live, the most interesting part of the story may be what happens next. Up until now, Facebook hasn’t had a YouTube-like revenue sharing system for most of the video that has shot up on the site in the last year, but it doesn’t take much imagination to see this system moving there.
Other ripple effects, whether or not Facebook’s push works, are likely to be felt at Twitter, which has been emphasizing its Periscope livestreaming product as part of its turnaround push.
The same goes for YouTube, which now has one more reason to fret about Facebook’s rapid arrival on its home turf.

This week saw the launch of Disney+, a new streaming service exclusively for Disney content. The practice of keeping content exclusive is damaging and reminds us of Disney’s desire as an industry giant to take advantage of consumers and monopolize the market.
By creating Disney+, Disney is taking advantage of consumers’ childhood nostalgia. Disney’s animated movies — featuring touching stories which are made with cutting-edge technology and set in stunning faraway lands — have inspired many an artist, actor, writer and dreamer. Disney’s movies have told us that that hard-working, good people will be successful — hell, the Disney Parks’ slogan is “Where Dreams Come True.” But Disney+ just exploits the success of these films — and the wide range of emotions that they bring — for more money.
People care about the stories Disney tells. Disney’s movies and shows were defining factors in many of our childhoods. We were raised with its child stars as our role models and its animated movies as our windows into adventure and fantasy. I, and many other students like me, turn to these movies for comfort after a tough week; they reassure me that things will be okay and that happy endings exist. Entertainment brings joy to our lives, and privatizing it forces those who love these shows and movies to pay more than they already do to access them.
Disney is determined to continue profiting off our emotional attachment to its work. When Disney’s media is made exclusive, we lose access to an important source of artistic inspiration and personal enjoyment.
All content owned by Disney will only be available on Disney+, which forces consumers to purchase a subscription if they want to consume any media that Disney owns — which encompasses a lot. Disney+ currently provides exclusive access to content from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and the Simpsons. Disney had already announced it will not renew its 2016 agreement with Netflix, and all Disney-owned content will be gone from the platform by 2021. Many smaller Disney movies were quietly removed from Netflix on Nov. 1, but some of these titles are not available on Disney+ launch.
Disney may not have removed all its content immediately from other services, but the rest of the content will eventually make its way over. Marketing has featured some content that will be released “straight to Disney+,” which gives exclusive access to those who subscribe to the service. Theaters may not be able to distribute new content when it’s released, which reduces the chance for people to see creative content without purchasing a monthly subscription. Disney joined a list of other services to condemn password sharing as piracy too. These blatant profit-first moves will deprive many people of the simple joy of accessible entertainment simply because they can’t pay every month.
Disney’s desire to control the consumer market is horrifying. It’s currently offering the Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ bundle for $12.99 per month — but Disney already owns all three services. For those who don’t know that Disney owns all three, the bundle may seem like a good deal. But all the money is going back to one parent company. The profit Disney will make from all the services and companies it owns is astronomical, and it benefits further as long as consumers are unaware of its sprawling influence over the entire media market.
Disney has a stranglehold on the entertainment business. It’s almost impossible for people to not want the content on Disney+. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who isn’t a fan of any actors or movies that Disney controls. Disney owns Marvel, which means it also owns “Avengers: Endgame,” which over 100 million people saw in theaters. Disney has so much control over popular opinion that it’s able to easily take advantage of its position for more profit.
Disney+ is only another impudent cash cow. Hundreds of Disney-owned shows and movies are only available on Disney+, and public consumption of media content will soon become dependent on the few companies that control the entire market. A company that takes people’s childhood nostalgia and turns it into money should not have this much control. Disney+ may have been a profitable move, but it does more harm than any justifiable good.

Amazon is opening interactive Amazon Experience Centers within select Lennar model homes across the U.S. In these Alexa-enabled smart homes, consumers can try out Alexa to control the television, lights, thermostat, shades, and more.
The model homes showcase how consumers can use Alexa in their everyday lives, noted Amazon. They can also experience how to reorder household essentials with a press of an Amazon Dash Button, listen or watch Prime content with Fire TV or schedule on-demand home services through Amazon Home Services. In a real home setting, consumers can experience how to control smart home devices with just their voice through Alexa, such as adjusting the thermostat, seeing who’s at the front door without leaving the couch, to turn on lights and more.
The experience centers are said to feature the latest products and experiences set up by Amazon, which will update and refine the experience within each model home. Customers who want to bring the experience to their existing homes can book a one-on-one session with an Amazon expert.
Amazon Experience Centers are now open in Lennar model homes in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington D.C. with more coming soon.
“We wanted customers to experience a real home environment that showcases the convenience of the Alexa smart home experience, great entertainment available with Prime, and home services,” said Nish Lathia, general manager, Amazon Services. “We are excited to extend our relationship with Lennar with the launch of Amazon Experience Centers. As one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, Lennar offers the potential to enable this experience within easy driving distance of millions of customers.”

Amazon Acquires Social Reading Website Goodreads
Ryan Martin / 6 years ago
Amazon have recently announced that they have signed a business deal to acquire the social reading site “Goodreads”. Goodreads is a website which helps people find a new book to read based on what books and genres they have read in the past, it is a typical “you may also like..” style algorithm. Amazon did not discuss the terms of the acquisition but the deal will be sealed in Q2 of this year.
Currently, Goodreads has 16 million members and 230 million titles in the site’s database. The site has hosted 30000 book clubs and in the past 90 days those 16 million members have been adding “I want to read” books to their virtual shelves at a rate of four per second. All this looks impressive for Amazon as they look to start shifting more books and ebooks. The majority of the focus will likely be on ebooks as Amazon looks to generate money from its Kindle range.
Goodreads founder Otis Chandler has commented on his excitement about the deal for three reasons. Firstly, Goodreads can introduce more readers to their community with the growth opportunity from Amazon. Secondly, members of Goodreads wanted an ebook service which is something Amazon can easily deliver. Finally, Otis believes Amazon will help the company to grow rapidly. He stresses they will remain unique, independent and that the Goodreads team will not being going anywhere – suggesting that Goodreads have no been fully bought out.
This news has probably sent chills down the spines (get the book pun…) of major book publishers as Amazon continues to exercise a stronger grip over books and ebooks. What do you think of Amazon’s latest acquisition?

Last July we began wondering if Facebook would start competing with Eventbrite with the integration of Credits and the company’s Events product. Today it appears that the company has decided to partner with Eventbrite. Given that Facebook is “larger than Evite”, this partnership could prove to be extremely lucrative.
While Facebook decided to use Eventbrite to sell tickets to their upcoming f8 conference, a screenshot of the event registration page, which was accidentally published early, showed a new integration which required attendees to use Facebook Connect in order to purchase a ticket. This integration could be part of a broader integration in which Eventbrite uses Facebook as the sole identity provider for all attendees.
While Eventbrite previously implemented Facebook Connect in order to let attendees publish events they have RSVPed to on the site, this is a much more significant integration. The details of the new integration have not been published, but the screenshot below, initially published on Techcrunch, makes the partnership pretty obvious.
My guess is that the partnership announcement will coincide with the launch of f8 ticket sales. Regardless of what the two companies announce, it’s clear that this will be a big announcement given the size of Facebook Events.

Merchants want U.S. Supreme Court to rule on debit-card fees
WASHINGTON — A group of retail merchants will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case involving Federal Reserve rules that allow banks to charge debit-card “swipe fees” that retailers view as too high, an attorney for the merchants said yesterday.
“Given how extensive these fees are and how they affect virtually every transaction that takes place in the United States … it’s a serious case that the Supreme Court ought to hear,” said Doug Kantor, who represents the retailers.
Fed spokesmen did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Businesses pay the fees, also known as interchange fees, to banks when customers use debit cards to buy goods or services. The fees are set by Visa and MasterCard and reimburse banks for costs involved in providing the cards.
The 2010 Dodd-Frank law called for the Fed to cap the fees, which were about 44 cents per transaction at the time. Retailers had argued the fees were too high and led to higher prices for consumers.
The Fed in 2011 limited swipe fees to 21 cents per transaction, but retailers said the law intended for the cap to be even lower.
The National Retail Federation, whose members include Wal-Mart Stores, J.C. Penney and the National Restaurant Association, sued the Fed in 2011.
A U.S. district court in July 2013 sided with the retailers. The Fed appealed, and an three-judge appeals court panel in March reversed the lower court’s decision and upheld the Fed’s rules.
The retailers had the option of appealing to the full appellate court or directly to the Supreme Court. The high court will decide whether to hear the case.

Aaryn Costello is searching for the perfect dress, a 30-inch-long light-blue number with a sparkly bodice and a detachable white cape.
That would be the Princess Elsa dress from the Walt Disney Co. hit “Frozen,” the most sought-after fashion item among the kindergarten set. Stores nationwide are sold out, and originals are being offered for as much as $1,600 on eBay. Desperate parents are sewing their own or shelling out up to $225 for replicas on craft sites like Etsy.com.
“Every mom in the world is dying for this dress,” said Costello, a Los Angeles marketing consultant with a “Frozen”-obsessed 4-year-old. “The lucky moms who have found this dress for their daughters brag about their success and unanimously proclaim how their kid can’t stop wearing it.”
Toys, dolls and clothes are a big part of the strategy at Disney, which happens to be the world’s largest licensing company. And it has hit a merchandise-sales jackpot with Elsa, also known as the Snow Queen of Arendelle, and her ice gown.
Never miss a local story.
“The property is hot,” said Sean McGowan, a toy industry analyst at Needham & Co. in New York.
Retailers didn’t order enough of the gowns, said Dena O’Loughlin, director of marketing for Disney-licensed girls costumes at Jakks Pacific in Malibu, Calif., which sells to mass-market chains such as Wal-Mart Stores and Target. Stores sold out in January of Jakks’ version – suggested retail price: $20 – and the company is bringing in reinforcements by air and boat from factories in China.
“It has been challenging to keep up with demand,” O’Loughlin said.
Buyers just didn’t anticipate how big “Frozen” would be and stocked about as many of the ice gowns as they did Rapunzel outfits from Disney’s 2010 “Tangled,” O’Loughlin said.
After the movie opened in the U.S. on Nov. 22, “Frozen” went on to become the top-grossing animated film of all time with worldwide theater receipts of almost $1.1 billion, according to Box Office Mojo. Counting revenue from DVDs and television, Disney stands to make almost $1 billion in operating profit from the film, according to estimates from analysts from SNL Kagan and Gabelli & Co. That’s before merchandise sales, which the analysts didn’t calculate.
“We are thrilled that audiences formed instant connections to the characters and we are working hard to get additional products into stores as soon as possible,” said Tasia Filippatos, a spokeswoman for Burbank, Calif.-based Disney, in an email. She declined to comment on the size of the “Frozen” merchandise market.
Disney designers created versions of the dress priced from $50 to $150, for sale at Disney stores and parks. The sought-after limited edition has the white cape and a bejeweled cameo and is fetching top dollar online. Some identified as “Disney Store” gowns start at around $187 on eBay.
Elsa’s sparkly dress is outselling Anna’s more demure, black and blue flowered garment, O’Loughlin said, reflecting girls’ attachment to Elsa’s diva-esque personality. Her character, in Idina Menzel’s voice, sings “Let it Go,” which won the Oscar for best song this year.

Australia Probes Apple, Microsoft, Adobe Over High Prices
Australian officials are looking into whether Apple, Microsoft, and Adobe charge too much for their products in the region.
The committee for infrastructure and communications within Australia’s House of Representatives will hold a hearing on Friday, March 22 to examine the issue. In a news release, the committee said it has issued summonses to the three tech firms to appear at that hearing.
“The Committee has been examining claims made by organizations such as CHOICE, and the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network.”
CHOICE, which describes itself as “the people’s watchdog,” said in a statement that it welcomed the committee’s probe. The group said the government’s investigation will focus on the price of computers, software, games, and digital music “to force international companies to front up and explain their higher prices in Australia.”
CHOICE submitted a report to the committee last year, which found that Australians are paying on average 34 percent more for software, 52 percent more for iTunes music, 88 percent more for Wii games and 41 percent more for computer hardware than U.S. consumers.
“We have recommended that the government investigate whether measures used to sustain international price discrimination, like geo-blocking, are anti-competitive,” CHOICE said.
On the Apple Australia website, an iPad mini starts at approximately $379, whereas it is $329 in the U.S. The Microsoft Surface RT, meanwhile, starts at $575 in Australia and $499 in the U.S.
PCMag has reached out to Microsoft, Adobe, and Apple, and will update with any statement they might have.
This is not the first time Apple has tangled with Australian officials. In June 2012, Apple was fined about $2 million for misleading the public about the new iPad’s capabilities.

Looking for new ways to benefit its residents and the community. Shaky Acres is opening a Thrift Shop in Smith Bay Center today. "We'll be offering a
wide variety of household items, especially major appliances and furniture," said Shaky Acres fund developer, Gary (who asked for reason of confidentiality that his last name not be used).
Shaky Acres is a
nonprofit organization offering residential treatment for recovering drug and alcohol addicts. The items in the thrift shop are mostly tax deductible donations made by local businesses, hotels, and realtors,
as well as individuals, Gary said.
"We do things a little bit differently than most other nonprofit organizations in that we actively go out to local businesses to solicit donations," Gary said. " We have
received a very positive response so far, especially from the hotels and realtors." He added that Shaky Acres is not in competition with others operated by different local nonprofit organizations.
fact, we want to work with them. If they need something in particular, they can call us and we'll try to acquire it for them," Gary said. The Shaky Acres Thrift Shop recently donated a table and six chairs
to the Bethlehem house on St. Croix, he said. "All nonprofits are important and provide necessary services to the community," he said. Items at the thrift store are available for a suggested donation, which
is negotiable, Gary said.
Jane Sorrelle, an agent at Calypso Realty has supported the thrift store with several donations because she feels it serves a vital service for Shaky Acres and the community. "The
store will benefit local families, who have to revitalize their home by making items available and within reach," said Sorrelle.
It also provides a way for people to help others in their community by
donating furniture or appliances, which are no longer needed in their home. In addition, they'll be able to receive a tax deduction for their contribution," she added.
The thrift store always provides
residents of Shaky Acres an opportunity to receive new skills and put into practice those skills they already have, Gary said. Many residents have a variety of special skills. They'll be able to use those
talents to repair slightly damaged donations," he said.
The store was able to open because of the generous support it has received so far, Gary said. "For example, Larry Boschulte and Daryl Lewis of the
Department of Property and Procurement were instrumental in getting a truck donated to Shaky Acres, which we now use to transfer items to the thrift store. And Leslie Cooper has donated the use of the
facility where the store is currently located," Gary said.
The thrift store is open Fridays from noon to 6pm.; Saturdays from 8a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. We plan to open all week long
in the future, once we get everything fine – tuned," Gary said.
People interested in making a tax-deductible donation can call 714-1039 to make arrangements to have it picked up. If someone wants to help
out but they don't currently have anything to donate, I would encourage them to make a contribution to United Way, whose annual fund-raising campaign is now under way. Without their support, we would have
closed our doors years ago," Gary said.

The service will be offered throughout the United States, with clothing sold at a quarter of their normal price.
The US store, which was bought by Forever 21 owner Authentic Brands Group earlier this year, believes that the new service would remove some of the obstacles to outdoor access by selling technical clothes and accessories at affordable prices.
The company said that it will also allow customers to test products before they commit to a purchase. Rentals include clothes, footwear, tents, sleeping bags, and day packs, which can be shipped anywhere in the continental United States.
Eddie Bauer’s CEO, Damien Huang said in a statement that adventure should be defined by the individual. Everyone sees it differently, and experiencing your experience may take many different forms.
Huang added that through their inaugural rental program, they aim to reach even more people, providing them with the gear, clothes, and resources they need to be outside – whether it's a trek in their local state park or a year-long backpacking trip.

That’s according to tech tipster DuanRui on Twitter, who claimed that a charger brand has sent new chargers to the media which suggest that 30W charging is on the cards for the iPhone 14 Pro. Now DuanRui doesn't have the most solid of tech tips track records, but I’m rather hopeful this rumor is on the money.
The current iPhone 13 charges at 20 watts — not that Apple includes a charger in the box. As a result, it takes that model 30 minutes to charge to 51% capacity, at least in our testing.
That’s not exactly slow, but it’s also a far cry from some of the fastest charging phones I’ve used, such as the Oppo Find X5 Pro and its support for 80W charging. That takes a drained Find X5 Pro's battery to 50% capacity in just 12 minutes. Comparatively, my iPhone 13 Pro feels sluggish to charge, which is one of the few irritations from my swapping from Android to iPhone.
The iPhone 14 Pro series may use 30W charging power? Recently, a charger brand began to send new charger products to the media, and it will advertise in the experience video of the iPhone 14 series.August 29, 2022
Sadly, the 30W charging for the next-generation of iPhones only appears to cover the Pro models with the iPhone 14 and so-called iPhone 14 Max seemingly left to make do with 20W charging. That could be down to the latter phones sticking with the A15 Bionic chipset which powers the iPhone 13 range, as has been rumored. The iPhone 14 Pro models are tipped to get a new A16 Bionic system-on-chip.
When the 30W charging is added alongside the other reported iPhone 14 Pro upgrades, such as a notch-less design, 48-megapixel camera, an ultrawide camera upgrade, and improved chipset, it’s looking like the Pro models will be the highlight of the Apple September event, potentially leaving the standard iPhone 14 models in the dust.
We’ll find out soon enough if this is indeed the case as the Apple showcase is titled “Far Out” and will take place on September 7. Not only do we expect to see the iPhone 14 range, we should get a look at the Apple Watch 8 and AirPods Pro 2 as well.

Ubisoft has announced a new line of Rainbow Six Siege bundles that will directly benefit charity groups. The initiative is called Sixth Guardian, and its first is a set of cosmetic items is for Doc. All proceeds from the bundle will go to AbleGamers, a group dedicated to making gaming accessible to people with disabilities.
“AbleGamers is honoured to partner with Ubisoft to support players with disabilities with this amazing Sixth Guardian bundle,” said Steven Spohn, AbleGamers chief executive officer and director of peer support. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have the ranks of the Rainbow Six community joining our quest to combat social isolation and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities by providing the equipment and knowledge they need to play in the virtual worlds we love so much.”
The bundle itself features a new uniform, weapon skin, charm, and headgear for the FPS game’s defender Doc, all done in AbleGamers’ orange, white, and grey colour scheme. Doc’s face is uncovered, with a surgical mask pulled down. He’s wearing a ballistic vest with short sleeves over a cuffed cold-weather top, all done in a tiger-stripe camouflage pattern accented with badges that display the new Sixth Guardian logo.
“We decided to launch the Sixth Guardian because we recognized an opportunity to mobilize the Rainbow Six Siege community around important issues,” said Siege lead community developer Karen Lee, the creator of the Sixth Guardian program. “Our players are so passionate, and we wanted to give them an easy, effective way to support incredible organisations like AbleGamers.”
AbleGamers connects gamers with disabilities with the tools they need to fully participate in videogames. The charity provides custom equipment such as adaptive controllers to find ways for anyone to play, no matter what kind of disability they may have. The players never pay for AbleGamers’ assistance, and so funding through programs like the Sixth Guardian and last month’s ‘#Unlocktober’ campaign is crucial.
You can find the Sixth Guardian bundle in the Rainbow Six Siege in-game store, or on the Ubisoft online store.

Players will soon get to drift on Japan’s mountainous slopes once again, as Sega has announced a new Initial D arcade racing game. Simply titled Initial D The Arcade, it will be the latest in the line of games that began in 2002. All of them are based on a manga that is still popular to this day. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
The biggest new feature in this game will be the introduction of 4-person multiplayer for players within the same store. Previous modes like Story Mode (based on the original manga), online 1v1 battles, and Time Trials will also be returning.
Another big change is that the game has been made to look more realistic, compared to past entries. This applies to car models. The courses themselves will be based on actual, real-life roads. Car controls will be more sensitive to players’ inputs, so that every move will have direct feedback.
While it’s currently unknown when the arcade game will begin service in Japan, there will be an early access event on July 23, 2020 in Sega Akihabara 5th for players itching to try out the game.
Here’s the trailer:
Initial D The Arcade is in development for arcades in Japan.

While a lot is said about the euro and sovereign debt crisis and the U.S. double deficits, the three problems are rarely linked together as part of a single, big picture. They should be, as they are so intertwined.
The underlying drivers of this big picture are the chronic trade imbalances between Europe, the U.S. and the developing world.
Over a trillion dollars of developed world capital ends up in the developing world every year as the result of trade imbalances favoring poorer nations. A flow of capital has turned into an avalanche. The developed world is being drained so fast it is bordering on collapse.
The governments of the West became accustomed to inventing and using new credit devices to expand money supply. They long-harvested the investment of the developed world, accessing capital to lever state sectors to unsustainable levels.
This cycle ended with the credit crunch. As the tide of credit receded, the budgets of Europe and the U.S. were left stranded on the economic high tide line. Economies of the developed world are now left hoping for another tide to re-float them. Unfortunately, there is none in sight.
This is why “austerity measures” has become the new catch phrase. Unless countries cut back on outgoings they will go bust, as is currently happening in Greece.
The level of debt and unsustainable spending is so huge that markets simply can’t price it in. All over the world, markets are shaking and quivering, as the outcome of the credit crunch begins to play out at an international level.
While the most severely affected countries during ‘Credit Crunch Part One’ could be bailed out by governments, there is no senior tier in place to rescue huge economies. Italy and Spain are not Iceland or Argentina; they’re so big no one knows what the knock-on effects of a debt failure would be. As the IMF said last week, such a failure cannot be planned for or modeled. The world economy is in uncharted territory.
Operation Twist Underwhelms, Commodities Collapse
The margins of the markets are in trouble. Commodities have collapsed. Even high stake ‘gamblers’ of the market are leaving the game to try and hide. The Russian stock market is quivering as Russians automatically think of themselves as being on the margin of developed world markets and therefore likely to suffer in any final market move down.

The world looked to the U.S. Federal Reserve for another round of inflation to try and save the U.S. economy, and hence everyone else. Instead ‘Operation Twist,’ while looking like a $400 billion dollar stimulus, turned out to be akin to a shuffling of the deck chairs on the Titanic.
This lack of an inflationary boost was all it took to send markets diving off the ledge. The prospect of inflation is the best the market can hope for in the current situation. It’s the only deal in town. With the Fed turning away from it–at least for now–austerity is now looking real for the U.S., too.
This is why commodities collapsed. Commodities are the ‘anti-dollar,’ a store of wealth against an inflating, devaluing currency. Stocks and commodities thrive in times of inflation–at least in terms of the price on the ticker, if not in terms of ‘real value.’ It would seem that cycle has turned.
Trade deficits are too high, so currencies must fall. This would inflate away huge debits and increase income. In turn, trade deficits would rebalance by increasing exports and lowering the attractiveness of imports. This, too, raises prices that increase income whilst lowering currency; so the inflationary cycle turns and the debts and trade balances of the developed world are expired.
The markets see this as the only trade. As Germany and the Fed seem to be reluctant to face the inevitable, so the market swoons. Yet if inflation is inevitable, and it is already becoming entrenched, so the markets will fly up.
Europe’s EFSF is set to pull out a two trillion euro cheque to underwrite the euro and its ailing members – potentially all economies bar Germany. Two trillion euros would be a big monetary stimulus. It would certainly give inflation a push. It’s no surprise then that the markets are manic today, as I write, ahead over 2.5% in the UK.
With no real near-term solution to the core problems of bloated governance and huge trade imbalances, what’s certain is that volatility of a giant nature will continue. What’s more, it won’t take many miscalculations to send the market into a new, giant tailspin.

Safaricom is rolling up its sleeve for real competition on it revolutionary mobile money service, M-Pesa, now. The mobile services provider has today announced a major tariff review of its M-PESA service, the first since the service was launched in 2007.
M-PESA customers will now be able to send and receive amounts as low as Sh10 with effect from today, against a previous limit of Sh50, with charges for transfers within this band pegged at Sh3. M-PESA customers can also now make micro-payments from as low as Sh10 to Sh49 per month.
Again, Safaricom has lowered the transaction fees for its Sh101 and Sh500 value band.The charge for this band, which accounts for over a quarter of all the transactions on the M-PESA platform, has been reduced from Sh30 to Sh25, in a move aimed at encouraring more transactions within the band. In a statement, Safaricom has indicated that it does now wish to punish Kenyans for transacting less.
Citing customer feedback, Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore said:
“It was very clear to us when we undertook this tariff review that we were in a unique position to extend the benefits of financial inclusion to more Kenyans, partilcualry those in lower income groups who rely very heavily on our service.” He added, “We are particulary concious of the fact that about 7 in 10 adults in Kenya now have access to some form of mobile money service and as the pioneers in this space,s we have a specific role to ensure that our service remains affordable to everyone.”
The M-PESA tariff review also sees the introduction of 11 new tariff bands in a bid to rationalise the previous disparities between transaction amounts and charges levied for the same.
Commenting on this revision, Mr Collymore stated,
“The good news is that we have introduced lower charges for smaller transactions but at the same time we have had to increase the charges levied on the bigger amounts being transferred. This is motivated, in large part, by the need to give greater incentives to our growing agent network to embrace higher value transactions, while improving overall efficiency for our customers, particlarly float availability.”

What happens on Black Friday?
These days, Black Friday signifies a sale period, or the boom before Christmas sales. Many retailers across the globe, knowing this is now a worldwide shopping event, offer sales, discounts, and promotions to rival competitors.
Consumers may wish to start shopping for early Christmas bargains, or might just be looking for a good deal on some of the top items Aussies shop for, including clothing, food and alcohol, and electronics.
Many retailers may open early, or even start offering their discounts in the weeks or days leading up to Black Friday. In Australia, it is now second only to Boxing Day as our largest shopping event. You may have already noticed your email has been flooded with retailers advertising promotional codes, sign-up offers, specialised discounted items or exclusive membership deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Though Black Friday used to be primarily an American event (as we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia) the rise of international online retail has forced Australian retailers to get on board, or risk losing sales to American online merchants.
Case in point - a recent survey found that in 2017, nearly one in four Aussies had never even heard of Black Friday. By 2020, this number shrank to just four per cent, while search volume for the term 'Black Friday' increased by 44 per cent in the last three years in Australia, showing the widespread attention it now has in our country.
Why is it called Cyber Monday?
‘Cyber Monday’ is a term invented in 2005 that refers to people who search for bargains the Monday immediately following Black Friday.
The term ‘Cyber Monday’ became popularised in 2005 during the infancy of the internet-age. Many shoppers would use Black Friday simply to window shop and research what products they would purchase for Christmas. As Black Friday sales began to extend beyond 24 hours and were offered online, the Monday became a boom day for the digital retail space.
There is also conjecture that Cyber Monday came to rise as office workers in the US returned to their desks and went online shopping, rather than doing work.
These days, while Black Friday has targeted both online and in-store retail, Cyber Monday is a major sales event exclusively for online retailers - offering discounts and promo codes for a short time period. The event is ultimately aimed at encouraging people to shop online.
It seems this will prove popular - following the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce platform Shopify found that 90 per cent of Aussie shoppers will do so online. Only half of Aussie shoppers are expected to set foot in a store.
There are also other online ‘shopping events’ to put on the calendar, including Singles Day – an online shopping event originating in China to celebrate celebrated on November 11 each year. While this is a massive event across the world, it is less popular in Australia, where we focus on Remembrance Day.
How long do Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales go for?
While both shopping events are referred to as singular days, many retailers have offers and discounts in the lead-up to and aftermath of these events – so keep your eyes peeled for a bargain!

Wirex has obtained its very first money transmission license at the U.S., in which the business is currently gearing up to establish its own “next-gen cryptocurrency platform linked to a spending card.”
Wirex declared Friday it has obtained its original U.S. money transmission license and is currently preparing to start its services in the nation. The permit, issued from the country of Georgia’s Department of Banking and Finance on July 30 into Wirex USA, enables the enterprise to run a cryptocurrency exchange company from the nation.
The statement came following Wirex revealed it could be launching its own “next-gen cryptocurrency platform linked to a spending card in the U.S.” Wirex USA Managing Director Harold Montgomery commented: “The license in the state of Georgia is the first success in Wirex’s approach to providing fully compliant cryptocurrency management capabilities in the hands of its customers.” The UK.-based firm affirmed:
We’re planning to start our services in the usa in the coming months.
The provider states it serves 3 million clients across 130 nations and its own card may be used at over 54 million places Visa is approved. Wirex is regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority using a permit to issue cards from Europe.
Wirex currently supports 19 cryptocurrencies and classic currency pockets: USD, SGD, AUD, JPY, HKD, EUR, GBP, CZK, MXN, CAD, CHF, BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, WXT, DAI, NANO and XLM. Additionally, it provides Cryptoback, a crypto rewards program that gives customers around 1.5% back in bitcoin for every single purchase generated in-store.
Last month, Wirex became the primary cryptocurrency-native platform to procure a Mastercard chief membership. The business clarified that this empowers Wirex to “issue payment cards directly, offering even more convenience, reduced costs and faster transactions on a platform that is striving to make all currencies equal.”
