After the most critical effect of El Niño has passed, “in natura” products, which had been putting pressure on consumers’ pockets, are showing a more moderate behavior.
Data from Fipe (Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas), referring to March and released this Wednesday (3), indicate that “in natura” foods are still on the rise, but with the lowest rate of evolution in six months.
Rice, with the harvest advancing over a third of the sown area, recorded the first drop in consumer prices after seven months of rising prices.
The lower supply of the product on the domestic market in recent months caused an accumulated increase of 30% in prices from April last year to last March.
Beans, which gave consumers a break in the second half of last year, accumulated an increase of 16% in the first quarter of this year.
Fipe includes in the “in natura” group fruits, vegetables, greens, eggs and so-called tubers (potatoes, onions and garlic). Vegetables, for the first time recorded a negative rate since October last year.
On average, vegetable prices fell 0.31% in March. Despite the drop, the accumulated rate in the first quarter is still 8%, showing the effects of the climate on the production and supply of these products.
Vegetables, driven by tomatoes, had an increase of 2.64% last month, below the 4.9% in February. This was a sector that had been weighing heavily on consumers’ pockets, due to the 9.5% increase in the first quarter.
The fruits remain high for nine months. The sector is influenced by the correction in the prices of bananas, papayas, melons and oranges. The latter has accumulated an increase of 34% in the last 12 months, and will only have a greater offer in May, after the off-season.
João Paulo Bernardes Deleo, researcher at Cepea (Center for Advanced Studies in Applied Economics) says that consumers will have good news from now on. There is already a downward trend in vegetables, but each crop has its own specific calendar.
Once the effect of excess rain, caused by El Niño, has passed, the producer will have greater control over the harvest, obtaining better productivity, especially with irrigation when the plant needs water.
Deleo says that this accommodation and even price decline has already started and that it will become more present in the coming months in the winter harvest, with bigger drops in July.
According to the researcher, prices become more favorable for consumers until October, as long as there are no anomalies in production. From November onwards the summer harvest begins.
Fruits have a slightly different scenario. Fernanda Geraldini, a researcher at Cepea, says that the first semester always has a smaller offer.
This year, there is the aggravation of El Niño. It causes excess rainfall in the Northeast, affecting the plant development cycle, and brings a smaller volume in the Southeast. Quality and productivity are affected.
According to Fipe, food, on average, is under lower pressure this month than in the previous one. The increase was 0.78%.
The pressure from some products, however, still remains strong in the general index. In March, just five items in the sector (milk, onion, banana, tomato and beans) were responsible for 54% of the general inflation rate, which was 0.26% in São Paulo.
Another five (potatoes, sirloins, soybean oil, rump and passion fruit), however, fell, preventing a greater increase in the general index.
Beef, without a reaction in the prices of fed cattle on pasture, continues to fall. Milk is one of the areas of greatest pressure at the beginning of the year, with a 10% increase in supermarkets.
The rise in milk prices for consumers is a reflection of the lower supply. The price of the product has been rising in the countryside for four months, due to lower funding.
Proteins Brazilians will have a record 102 kilos of meat available to consume this year. This is an average, taking into account the total population. Of course, many will be far from this level.
Proteins 2 The data comes from Conab (National Supply Company), which estimates a total production of 31 million tons of meat (beef, pork and chicken) for the year.
Exports Of this volume, 10 million tons will be exported, leaving 21 million on the domestic market.
Leadership The largest production will be chicken meat, which will reach 15.4 million tons. Beef production rises to 10 million, and pork production to 5.5 million.
Eggs The country will produce 41.1 billion eggs this year, an average of 200 units per person.

Apple hasn’t been paying much attention to its pro users lately, and the company finally seems to be owning up to it.
Speaking to a small gathering of news outlets yesterday, including BuzzFeed, TechCrunch, and Daring Fireball, Apple acknowledged that it had been a while since the company put a focus on pro desktops, announced minor spec updates to the existing Mac Pro, and said that a new Mac Pro model is in the works.
But perhaps most importantly, Apple admitted that its flashy 2013 Mac Pro redesign was a mistake, and executives indicated that Apple intends to better support its professional users in the future. [Read more here...]

Swedish freight mobility startup Einride enters the U.S. market with its fleet of electric self-driving trucks without a driver cabin
The driverless revolution is here and many are wondering what the future would look like. Now, we don’t need to look so far. Today, Swedish electric and autonomous freight tech startup Einride has entered the U.S. market with its fleet of electric self-driving trucks without a driver cabin.
The Stockholm, Sweden-based company announced on Wednesday it has launched its US operations and signed up GE Appliances, Swedish vegan milk maker, and Oatly and tiremaker Bridgestone as customers. Since its inception five years ago, Einride has helped reduce customer CO₂ emissions by 94% compared to driving with diesel, including embodied emissions.
With climate change becoming one of the major issues confronting the world today, Electrification — and autonomous vehicles — are both big themes in the world of transportation. Einride is one of the many startup companies developing technologies for transportation systems. Einride is taking logistics in a new direction with intelligent freight mobility solutions that are both autonomous and electric for shippers and carriers.
While a lot of attention is given to passenger electric vehicles, Einride thinks that leveraging autonomous technology in the freight transport industry could provide more benefits by reducing the CO2 emissions from diesel-powered trucks. Founded in 2016 by Filip Lilja, Linnea Kornehed, and Robert Falck, Einride makes autonomous and electric freight trucks for the transportation of goods, as well as provides a freight mobility platform.
As part of its US launch, Einride told Reuters that it has already started operating a fleet of 20 Einride Pods – its electric self-driving truck without a driver cabin – at the Louisville headquarters of GE Appliances, a unit of Chinese home appliance maker Haier, which includes a sprawling manufacturing complex. For now, Einride trucks would operate inside customers’ facilities, which allows them to operate without the need for a backup human driver as they are on private property, Falck added.
In the meantime, Einride said that it’s working with U.S. regulators to “take this outside the fence and operate on public roads as well.” “There is huge potential for automation and electrification in the U.S. market and the next step for us scale up with our customers,” he said.
In May, Einride raised $110 million in a Series B round to invest in the company’s technology, continue delivering to customers, grow revenue, and expand internationally. Einride other customers include companies like Coca-Cola, Oatly, and Electrolux. Over the past five years, investors have poured billions of dollars into self-driving technology for the freight trucks market.
Below is a video of Einride Pod in action.

Should Sugar Be Regulated Just Like Alcohol & Tobacco?
Feb 02, 2012 12:50
There is plenty of evidence on the harmful affects of sugar to one's health, but is controlling sales through taxation and legislation our final solution?
In a commentary published online in the Feb. 1 issue of Nature headlined
"The toxic truth about Sugar," experts are pushing for a major shift
in public policy to combat the danger, comparing sugar to poison and saying its sale should be as tightly regulated just like other vices.
They warn that sugary foods and drinks are responsible for illnesses including obesity, heart disease, cancer and liver problems. They also claim it contributes to 35million deaths a year worldwide, and that getting people to kick the habit would require much more than simple education and awareness campaigns.
They also point out several other countries who are leading by example, imposing taxes on unhealthy food:"Denmark and Hungary have a tax on saturated fat, while France has approved a tax on soft drinks."
In response, the US Food and Drink Federation has reportedly said that "demonising" food was not helpful and the key to health was a balanced diet.

Stocks closed out Friday’s trading session and July on a high note, with the Nasdaq outperforming after a slew of better than expected corporate earnings results from major tech firms like Facebook and Apple, which both posted record closing highs.
Friday’s session marked the last of July, with each of the three major indices closing out a fourth straight month of gains. The S&P 500 rose about 5%, the Dow increased 2% and the Nasdaq outperformed, rising more than 6.5% on the month.
Tech titans Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), each reported quarterly results that blew past estimates Thursday evening, affirming their pandemic-era dominance that’s helped feed a steep run-up in tech stocks over the past couple months.
Facebook grew its revenue 11% over last year as its advertising business remained resilient despite the pandemic-related slowdown across the broader ad industry. The platform’s daily active

Enigmatic Amazon: Bezos’s Hair Is Full of Secrets
If the popularity of Brad Stone’s book, “The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon,” is any indication, consumers are fascinated by Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) behind-the-scenes work. More than ever, shoppers are making the majority of their purchases from the e-commerce giant that is Amazon, but that doesn’t mean they foster any more understanding of how their favorite website works, and Amazon would like to keep things that way .
As highlighted by Benedict Evans in a blog post Wednesday, it’s no secret that Amazon is one of the most enigmatic companies in consumer tech, and it doesn’t look like that reality is going anywhere anytime soon. Unlike its rivals, Amazon never discloses certain operating metrics — it still has yet to release unit sales for Kindle — and it purposely only publishes the bare minimum when it comes to operation details. If you’ve caught on to the fact that Amazon never agrees to comment on news stories, you’re not the only one. Amazon spokespeople are notorious for declining to comment, and it’s not because they don’t have a lot to say. In fact, they have a lot to say — they just keep their lips zipped so as to keep themselves from offering any information that could scathe Amazon’s currently running narratives. Evans points out that it is in Amazon’s best interest to only allow reporters to support its two major narratives — Amazon offers very good value, and Amazon is impossible to compete with — so allowing employees to provide any information that would discredit those realities would not be in Amazon’s best interests.
So Amazon workers remain tight-lipped. Sure, certain news has to get through the cracks, such as how hard Amazon works its employees, and how ruthless it is when it comes to startup acquisitions, but in the end, even those negative stories support one of Amazon’s two narratives, so the Seattle, Washington-based company isn’t too worried about appearing a little rough around the edges, especially if it means scaring off potential competition. Hearing about how brutal Amazon’s corporate culture is could dissuade workers from potentially applying there, but more importantly, it could also dissuade rivals from ever trying to compete.

KENYA – Tea production in Kenya for the first eight months of the year (January – August) increased by 33.59% reaching 375.75 million kilo grams (Kgs) against 281.26 million Kgs recorded during the same period of 2019.
This was indicated by the Tea Directorate which revealed that production of the commodity in the month of August increased slightly to 38.52 million kgs compared to 36.55 million recorded in July this year.
The rise in production is attributed to favourable weather conditions, however, the directorate expects to register much lower production in the remaining part of the year on account of expected dry and hot weather.
In terms of trade, the month of August registered higher sales volume amounting to 33 million Kgs being sold at the Mombasa Auction compared to 27.70 million Kgs sold last year.
The sales were however lower in comparison with 34.2 million Kgs sold in July and 42.9 million Kgs in June this year.
The decline in sales during the year is a clear indication of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted negatively on consumer purchasing power.
Tea exports decline by 4%
Kenya’s tea exports in the eight months to August dropped by 14 million Kgs compared with the same period last year as the demand for the commodity in the world market remains suppressed.
Data report from the Directorate shows that export volumes dropped to 323 million kilogrammes in the review period from 337 million in the corresponding period last year, signifying a 4% decline.
Exports to Kenya’s top two markets dropped substantially by seven percent to Pakistan and 14 percent to Egypt.
The decline in export volumes highlights the effects that the coronavirus has had on international trade.
“Notably, access to some markets is still a challenge due to the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on commodity distribution and trading across the globe,” said the directorate.
For the month of August, Kenya exported 34.03 million Kgs, 24% lower compared 44.67 million Kgs recorded last year. The month’s volume exports were also lower compared to July when the country sold 38.55 million Kgs.
During the month, Kenya tea was shipped to 49 export destinations as was the case during the same period last year.
Pakistan maintained the leading export destination for Kenyan tea having imported 13.73 million Kgs, accounting for 40% of the total export volume.
Egypt which usually holds second position was overtaken by UK (3.66 million Kgs), Russia (2.33 million Kgs) and Jordan (1.95 million Kgs). Egypt came in at fifth place with 1.47 million Kgs.
Other destinations included Yemen, Sudan, India, UAE, China, Uzbekistan, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, Australia, Ghana and Eriterea.
Local sales for the first eight month of 2020 was 27.35 million Kgs against 27.97 million Kgs for the same period of last year.

[UPDATE] The 16-inch MacBook Pro will begin production next month and could mean the end of the longstanding 15.4-inch MBP, IHS Markit said.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro will start production in September at a monthly production volume of 39,000 units, IHS Market’s Jeff Lin said in an email on Saturday.
The 16-inch MBP will use the Intel Coffee Lake-H Refresh, he said. The latest Coffee Lake H mobile series was released in the second quarter of this year and is Intel’s fastest 45-watt mobile processor to date boasting as many as 8 cores. Those processors are currently used on the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro.
The “15.4 [inch] MacBook [Pro] will…end production…Nov’19,” Lin said in his note. “We think 15.4 [inch] MacBook volumes will shift to 16 [inch],” he added.
Update: Lin had been tentative about the end of 15.4-inch MacBook production in his first email. In a second email he said that “it is confirmed from OEM & panel supplier” that 15.4-inch MacBook Pro production will end in November. “I am pretty sure that MacBook 15.4” will be EOL [End-of-Life],” he added.
The switch to a 16-inch-class display may not affect the size of the MacBook Pro, however, according to a report in Digitimes. So, consumers could be getting essentially the current 15.4-inch chassis but with a larger display.
Other 16-inch MBP details include a display with a resolution of 227 pixels per inch, the same as 13.3-inch MacBook Pro.
12-inch MacBook ending production
The 12-inch MacBook will end production in August, Lin said.
The 2-pound MacBook, introduced in 2015, was Apple’s attempt to reinvent the original MacBook Air introduced by Steve Jobs in 2008. But it was discontinued when Apple revamped the 13-inch MacBook Air in 2018.
The 12-inch MacBook was getting the fire sale treatment this weekend at retailers like Best Buy, where it was discounted by $500.

RealNetworks Inc. has admitted its move to make tracks acquired through its US-only Rhapsody music service iPod-compatible puts the company at risk of a legal suit by Apple.
In the company’s U.S. Securities and Exchange report on its financial performance which was filed Monday, the company warns: “If Apple decides to commence litigation against us in order to prevent interoperation with its products, we may be forced to spend money defending their legal challenge, which could harm our operating results.”
Real created its digital rights management translation technology, which it calls Harmony to enable consumers to securely transfer purchased music to digital music devices, including iPods and Windows Media-protected devices.
“Harmony is designed to enable consumers to transfer music purchased from our RealPlayer Music Store to a wide variety of portable music,” the company said.
The management report confirms a risk that: “Apple will continue to modify its technology to “break” the interoperability that Harmony provides to consumers, which Apple has done in connection with the release of certain new products. If Apple chooses to continue this course of action, Harmony may no longer work with Apple’s products, which could harm our business and reputation, or we may be forced to incur additional development costs to refine Harmony to make it interoperate again.”
Real adds, “although we believe our Harmony technology is legal, there is no assurance that a court would agree with our position.”
Real revealed it expects to spend US$16 million this year in its litigation against Microsoft, which it accuses of using its OS dominance to promote its rival media software, Windows Media. It spent $11 million on the case last year.

There has been much press coverage regarding Kodi and its legality in recent days. I have looked at recent court cases and hope this video will clear it up.
Please note that this is my opinion only and you should satisfy yourself if unsure or seek appropriate advice.
Further Comment below the video link.
In 2016 the EU Court was asked if streaming was illegal and, according to a report by Torrentfreak.com it was found that viewing a stream is classed as watching.
Now this doesn't mean that it is 'lawful' it just shows that there is an unrealistic chance of a successful prosecution of an individual for watching a stream from a third party.
It is clear that the selling of pre loaded boxes which gain the user direct access to copyrighted material is illegal and in the UK there is a case in the courts currently where a man was selling such devices and advertising as 'free tv'.
It seems that in the UK at least, the main pursuant for stamping out this trade are BT, Sky and the premier league who estimate losses from this activity are in the 100's of million pounds.
It is likely with the huge increase in the use and purchase of these boxes that the law may well be looked at again. The big difference with streaming and downloading is that with streaming the end user is never holding the copyrighted material. When people download from torrent sites, not only do they hold a digital copy of the item but are also likely to be redistributing the file by acting as a seed for other downloaders.
We will keep you up to date with any law changes and update you on the current cases going through the courts as soon as they are finalised.

Contemporary consumers crave the highest quality.
Nation’s Restaurant News, in association with WD Partners, recently unveiled its Top 25 Consumer Picks list. Companies that made the cut in terms of customer preference and brand strength were varied, from Chick-fil-A to Ruth’s Chris Steak House.
However, one attribute all the brands shared was a trend toward higher quality.
“Consumers had a clear preference for brands that offer high-quality food that’s thoughtfully sourced and prepared – even in a limited-service setting,” NRN stated in an accompanying release.
While NRN reported that Millennials were most concerned with atmosphere, craveability and likelihood to recommend, and Baby Boomers were focused on cleanliness, service, value and menu variety, all diners had food quality as a top concern regardless of age.

The House Judiciary Committee has announced that it will be launching an antitrust probe into the market power held by big tech platforms. This comes after numerous reports have suggested that both the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are planning to investigate four of the major tech companies – Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google.
The House Judiciary Committee’s bipartisan investigation will look at competition in digital markets and will focus on:
- Documenting competition problems in digital markets
- Examining whether dominant firms are engaging in anti-competitive conduct
- Assessing whether existing antitrust laws, competition policies, and current enforcement levels are adequate to address these issues
The investigation will involve a series of hearings held by the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial, and Administrative Law and requests for additional information that’s relevant to the investigation.
In a press release announcing the investigation, the House Judiciary Committee said:
“A small number of dominant, unregulated platforms have extraordinary power over commerce, communication, and information online. Based on investigative reporting and oversight by international policymakers and enforcers, there are concerns that these platforms have the incentive and ability to harm the competitive process. The Antitrust Subcommittee will conduct a top-to-bottom review of the market power held by giant tech platforms. This is the first time Congress has undertaken an investigation into this behavior.”
In the days before the House Judiciary Committee made its announcement, multiple reports have suggested that the DOJ is getting ready to launch antitrust investigations into Apple and Google while the FTC is preparing to investigate Amazon and Facebook. These reports caused the stock price for all four of these tech giants to fall with Amazon shares falling by 5%, Apple shares dropping by 1.7%, Google shares declining by 6.75%, and Facebook shares sliding by 7.95%.
Just a few hours before the House Judiciary Committee launched this antitrust investigation, European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said she was waiting for Apple to respond to the streaming music service Spotify’s allegations that Apple is engaging in anti-competitive practices. This follows previous reports indicating that the European Union (EU) is planning to launch an antitrust investigation into Apple based on Spotify’s complaint.
The House Judiciary Committee’s investigation also comes less than a month after the Supreme Court ruled that Apple will have to face an App Store antitrust suit. The suit claims that the company is abusing its monopoly power in order to add a 30% fee to App Store sales which then results in customers being overcharged for iOS apps.

We’re only in the second week of the school year and parents are already frantic trying to find a place to get their children can get a COVID-19 test. People are unable to work and hemorrhaging vacation time for lack of one. So where can you go?
Lee Health, along with Curative, just opened a new testing site in For Myers on Monday, near Page Field at 5200 Captain Channing Page Drive. You have to schedule a free appointment on the Curative website for a PCR test, which takes around two days for results.
Where else in Southwest Florida can you get an appointment?
- CVS – CVS will administer a test to those without insurance who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Click here to go to the CVS testing website.
- Quest Diagnostics – Testing is available at a variety of locations, including Walmart, Quest Patient Service Centers, and other pop-up sites. Appointments are required at all locations. Test locations available to you may vary based on your location and whether you have symptoms. Click here to go to Quest Diagnostics website.
- Walgreens – Free COVID-19 testing is available to patients ages 3+. If you receive a Diagnostic Test and have insurance, you will be asked to show your insurance card at the appointment and the lab may bill your insurer. You will not receive a bill from Walgreens or from any lab partner. Click here to go to the Walgreens testing website.
- Other Locations – Visit the Florida Department of Health’s COVID-19 website to find more testing locations near you.
Walgreens’ testing demand doubled from June to July, with six out of the 10 Walgreens locations in Fort Myers completely booked throughout the rest of the week and no rapid tests available at all. At CVS, there are also no same-day tests available at all. The next available testing slot WINK News could find was Friday morning, but only at the CVS on Palm Beach Boulevard. At Walmart, you can purchase one of those $20 at-home tests, but you can’t get free overnight shipping on them, only on the at-home tests that cost over $100.
The president of Lee Health, Dr. Larry Antonucci, says testing is extremely important right now because of the situation we’re seeing in Southwest Florida hospitals.
“We are losing patients every day,” Antonucci said. “Patients are dying from this, and they’re patients in their 20s and 30s and their 40s, this is not like it was last year where the vast majority of deaths were people in their 80s and 90s.”
Lee Health and Curative say they are working to open two more testing sites.

Japanese two-wheeler Honda had announced plans to introduce 10 or more electric models globally by 2025. The company has also confirmed that it is developing two commuter electric two-wheelers, which will be launched exclusively in Asia, Japan and Europe. One of these new electric scooters for India is expected to be launched on January 23, 2023.
If rumours are to be believed, then Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India may bring an electric version of its best-selling Activa scooter. The scooter can be positioned against TVS iQube Electric, Ather450X, Hero Vida V1, Simple One, Ola S1 etc.
The details about the electric vehicle have yet to be revealed. The new Honda electric scooter is expected to come with a swappable battery. This could be because Honda recently announced its battery-swapping service in association with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL). Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt Ltd is a subsidiary of the brand to launch a battery swap service in India.
Suppose the company brings the electric version of the Honda Activa. In that case, it will get more benefits because Honda Activa has already become a brand among the people and people trust it a lot. That’s why Activa is the best-selling scooter in the country. No other scooter is even close to it in terms of sales. If its electric version comes, it will likely attract more customers in such a situation.

“We have people spending hours in here trying to find those 10 CDs that they want,” says Winter, smiling.
This era of music downloads has hurt Jelly’s sales, but another promotion tries to minimize the damage. A “burn/return” policy lets customers buy a CD at full price, take it home to download it on their computers and return it for a refund — minus $4 and the excise tax.
Winter says that’s a win-win deal for his customers and his store. “We have so many [CDs] that are hard to replace,” he says. “So much stock is being deleted because the major record companies don’t want to carry their catalogs anymore. When they sell something out, they don’t reprint them. So with the rare stuff – and we carry stuff that even the Internet doesn’t have – three times out of four, I’ll get them back through the ‘burn/return.’ ”
Increased sales have come from an unexpected source: vinyl LPs. Since technology now allows music lovers to transfer songs from vinyl to MP3 players, Winter has seen customers flocking to the record bins.
“The kids are getting into vinyl,” Winter says. “That’s good to see, because that was probably the biggest thing we had lost from our early years: the kids. Before, they were here for the comics and the baseball cards and the music. Kids from all around the Islands would love to come here. But when the downloading craze started, the newer kids stopped coming. Now, the vinyl is starting to bring back at least some of them.”
And Winter, who prides himself on listening to what his customers want and finding it for them, is reconnecting with young music lovers. “I couldn’t tell what their kind of music was until I got them through the door,” he says.
Jelly’s has continually evolved. Comics, once the biggest sellers, are now third behind music and books. Baseball cards had a strong presence until that market declined. Taking their place are manga comics.
The store even endured a change of ownership. In the 1990s, Winter was the mastermind behind Radio Free Hawaii, an FM station whose playlist was based on songs voted on by listeners. While the concept earned rave reviews, the station lost money and Winter was forced to sell Jelly’s in 1993 to Mainland distributors. A legal settlement returned the Jelly’s name to Winter in 2001.
Winter now hosts an oldies show Monday evenings on KGMZ 107.9. “We get a lot of young people listening to us,” he says. “We play all the unusual oldies that you probably haven’t heard in years. Even though it’s aged, decrepit stuff, it’s a new sound for them!”
The economic downturn only seems to have emboldened Winter.
“I think the reason we have this big economic problem now is because we have so many big businesses controlling the market,” he says. “Yeah, they’re really great in giving you selection and price, but they don’t give you identity. They don’t give their employees identity. You can go to Wal-Mart and they have a great selection and great prices, but people just basically walk in there, buy what they need and walk out. Their employees all complain to me. They’re not happy. They’re not finding themselves through their work.
“The bigger you get, the harder it is to keep that identity both with your employees and your customers. And that’s what small business has been pretty good at. When you come to Jelly’s, we actually give you an identity. We appreciate your presence, and we happily go out there and talk with you.” Looking to the future, Winter foresees tough times ahead for big businesses.
“I think we’re going to have a disassembling of all big businesses within the next 10 to 15 years,” he predicts. “When you look at it from that angle, it has to be a gold mine for Jelly’s.

Global supply chain problems and material shortages are affecting all manner of industries right now, including musical instrument manufacturers. So, it’s not surprising that Moog has announced that the prices of some of its instruments have just gone up.
Explaining the move on its website, Moog said: “The ongoing global challenges of material shortages, supply chain limitations, inflation, as well as rising raw goods and shipping costs, have made it necessary to adjust some of our pricing. A price increase is not a decision we take lightly, but one that is needed to ensure we can continue delivering the high-quality products you deserve.
“Thank you for your understanding. Please contact us if you have any further questions.”
Prices of several Moog synths have fluctuated at some dealers recently, rising significantly before dropping back down again. As such, our advice is to shop around before hitting the order button.
While Moog is attempting to protect itself from the economic headwinds by raising prices, some other synth manufacturers have been unable to continue operating in the current climate.
Eurorack specialist WMD Devices recently announced that it’s “winding down” its production facility because of falling sales, increased costs and the global parts shortage, and synth manufacturer Future Retro has also gone to the wall.

A new season marks new opportunity for beverage, and winter is known for its indulgent flavors and hot drinks. From peppermint and gingerbread syrups to creamers and spice blends, coffee shines in the colder months.
The number one coffee chain in the US made its customers wait an extra week this year before kicking off its holiday festivities. Last year, Starbucks flipped from autumn to winter on November 2, but in 2019 its Christmas menu didn’t kick in until November 7.
It brought back its popular reusable cup initiative for a second year--on November 7, customers could receive a free limited edition red cup with the purchase of a handcrafted holiday beverage of any size.
Through January 7, customers can bring the reusable cups back to Starbucks and receive $0.50 off Grande-size holiday drinks after 2pm. Four new holiday-themed paper cup designs will also be available throughout the season.
All the Starbucks winter classics drinks are back, including the Peppermint Mocha, Peppermint Hot Chocolate, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Chestnut Praline Latte, Caramel Brulée Latte and Eggnog Latte.
Also returning are Starbucks’ bagged coffees in Christmas Blend, Christmas Blend Espresso, Christmas Blend Blonde, Reserve Christmas and Holiday Blend. The seasonal food items include the Turkey & Stuffing Panini, Cranberry Bliss Bar, Sugar Plum Cheese Danish, Snowman Cookie, Gingerbread Loaf and holiday Cake Pops.
Jen Quotson, VP of Starbucks Creative, said “We came up with this idea of wrapping the stores in holiday joy and wrapping the cups like a gift to our partners and customers. We wanted coming to Starbucks to be like uncovering a present.”
In retail, shoppers can find Starbucks-branded seasonal products like the Holiday Blend K-Cup Packs, Holiday Spice Cold Brew Pitcher Packs, Peppermint Mocha Flavored Ground Coffee, Peppermint Mocha Latte K-Cup Packs, Holiday Cookie Straws and VIA Instant Peppermint Mocha Latte.
Dunkin’s 2019 holiday lineup is its largest yet, featuring new bright pink, snowflake-covered cups available throughout the season. Dunkin’ said the design was inspired by the ‘unbridled joy’ of childhood that can be ‘overshadowed by adult pressures.’
The full Dunkin’ winter menu rolled out to stores nationwide between November 4-6, anchored by the return of the Peppermint Mocha flavor. Dunkin’ left it out of its holiday rotation in 2018 but decided to include it this year after hearing consumer feedback.
Four new signature lattes join Dunkin’ this year--Holiday Eggnog, Merry Mocha Mint, Toasted Gingerbread and Frosted White Chocolate. Returning are Caramel Craze and Cocoa Mocha, and all are available hot or iced.
The holiday flavors--Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread S’mores and Winter White Chocolate--can be added to Dunkin’s hot or iced coffee, Cold Brew, espresso drinks, frozen coffee and frozen chocolate.
A new Holiday Brownie Crumble Donut will join Dunkin’s other donuts “dressed in their holiday best, with classic varieties decked out for the season with dark green icing drizzle and festive Holiday Blend sprinkles.”
The seasonal drinks offered in Peet’s Coffee locations take inspiration from citrus and festive mulling spices, the craft roaster said. A new Citrus and Spice Latte joins the return of Peet’s Dark Chocolate Orange Mocha, Holiday Spice Latte and Peppermint Mocha.
Patrick Main, beverage innovator at Peet's Coffee, said "We are so excited to unveil our Citrus and Spice Latte, which we infuse with real baking spices and our very own Fiori di Sicilia, a syrup made with natural flavors of bright citrus, sweet vanilla, and subtle orange blossom.”
"The same festive citrus flavor carries through in our returning Dark Chocolate Orange Mocha, mixed with Peet's house-made chocolate sauce and additional unsweetened Dutch cocoa steamed into fresh milk. With all our holiday beverage offerings, we are using innovative techniques and real ingredients to capture the warm and bright mood of the season."
The brand’s bagged Holiday Blend coffee is made with ‘the year’s best beans.’ Peet’s said its 2019 edition includes coffees from Kenya, Sumatra, and Panama for a stout and spicy dark roast with festive fruity notes.
Peet's will donate $2 to No Kid Hungry for every pound of Holiday Blend sold in coffeebars and on Peets.com during Giving Week (December 1-7).
Doug Welsh, roastmaster at Peet's Coffee, said "This big hearty blend takes months to complete because we create it from scratch and only from the year's most spectacular beans. This year, the superb, silky and cassisrippled Kenya also brings brown sugar and blackberry tones to complement Panama's sweet Meyer lemon top notes and Sumatra's syrupy depths.”

Hit by rising input costs of wheat, sugar and other commodities, cookies-to-dairy major Britannia Industries has now turned its focus on new products and high-margin innovations to improve profitability.
The company saw its sales nearly double over the last four years, even as its net profit stagnated during the period.
"We are taking steps to enhance our margin and profitability even as we generate high double-digit growth," said Vinita Bali, managing director, Britannia Industries."The economics of the industry have been challenged by inordinately high levels of commodity inflation (wheat, sugar, dairy products etc)," said Bali. "We are addressing this through an aggressive cost effectiveness programme that spans the entire value-chain, while simultaneously improving our revenue mix."
To counter rising cost challenge and intense competition, the cookie maker has hiked prices by more than 15% since late last year.
The company has used a mix of direct price increase in some cases and reduction of pack weights in others.
The company also introduced cookies for diabetics, savories that are baked and more.

Another year has come and gone! Every industry has its share of challenges and it’s fair to say it’s been a tumultuous year in the restaurant industry. We take a quick look back at some of the big news stories that caught our readers’ attention in 2019.
Third Party Delivery Dilemma: In-house or third-party? Uber Eats or DoorDash? The delivery dilemma was something that restaurants still grappled with in 2019. With rising consumer demand for off-premises dining many restaurants now work with such delivery services – often with multiple third-party platforms—lured by promises of incremental sales growth and expanded customer bases. But alas, these partnerships present their own issues, such as high-order volumes, high commission rates, tight margins and diminishing margins – not to mention the loss of personal customer interaction, data, as well as control over the customer experience. Delivery continues to exhibit robust growth; this year (2020!) food delivery app usage will surpass 44 million people in the U.S., reaching nearly 59.5 million by 2023. Delivery offers a fresh channel for restaurants and takeaways to increase their sales, for those still undecided as to what to do, the challenge in 2020 will be to figure out which method is best for their business as staying out of the marketing might just be a mistake.
Rise of Ghost Kitchens: If food delivery wasn’t enough to contend with in 2019, a new trend emerged i.e. the emergence of “ghost” or “dark” kitchens. These are businesses that have no physical restaurant premises in the conventional sense, and designed with the sole purpose to only handle and serve delivery customers. Restaurants can avail of their services such as using shared kitchen spaces to optimize a restaurant’s delivery business, and help restaurants generate new business and brand awareness. However, the service also comes with a cost, up to 35% commission fee, not to mention the fact that if ghost kitchens do gain traction they could potentially flood the market with new delivery options that will compete for customers with existing brick and mortar restaurants, many of whom are already struggling in today’s challenging businesses environment. Bah humbug!
EMV: A new piece of tech that restaurants had to get their heads around this past year was EMV i.e. edit or debit cards that are chip enabled. The purpose behind EMV is to increase security and prevent fraud. Since their introduction counterfeit credit card fraud dropped by as much as 75% from December 2015 to March 2018. However, from a backend perspective EMV requires more structure and continuity between a variety of different hardware and software pieces making it harder for clients to have the flexibility to choose the payment processor they want. To reduce headaches and keep customers happy in 2020, the best solution for restaurateurs is to find a POS company that can offer a variety of integrations with a variety of payment processors.
I-9 Form Compliance: Every employee hired is required to have an I-9 form to help employers verify the identity and employment authorization of each person they hire. While the I-9 form has been around since the 1980’s during the last few years ICE worksite investigations regarding I-9 compliance have almost quadrupled. Not only that but they requested an additional $313.9million in their 2020 budget plan to increase worksite enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. If there is one piece of paperwork businesses needed to have in order in 2019 – and into the future, the I-9 form is it!
Labor Shortages: In 2019 the industry also found itself in the middle of a labor shortage. While high turnover rates in service industries are nothing new, restaurants have struggled hard with employee retention. From chefs to line cooks to wait staff to delivery – the problem has become more acute in the last two years, reaching crisis levels. Factors behind the shortage have been numerous from low wages, to high turnover rates and a shrinking pool of applicants amid the country’s immigration crackdown all contributing to the labor shortage. It’s likely that current labor woes will continue into 2020 and while you can’t prevent a labor shortage from happening there are steps to help minimize the impact.
Consumer Privacy Laws: In the past number of years the number of businesses that have had their consumer data breached has skyrocketed. As a result, the rights of the consumer have come into sharp focus. The European Union was the first to introduce its GPDR legislation back in May 2016 – a set of rules designed to give EU citizens more control over their personal data. While the US has yet to introduce such measures, in 2019 California became the first US state to announce its own consumer protection law to protect the privacy of California consumers. As of January 1 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA for short, came into effect. 2020 will likely see further announcements as individual states have begun to craft their own measures, like what we have seen in California – with many states are using the CCPA as a template to draw up their own laws.
These are only six highlights from a busy year – let us know if they are other big-ticket items and challenges from 2019 that you think should have made the list!

3D printer manufacturer Raise3D just launched its “Go Green Initiative”. With the goal of playing its part in the fight against climate change, the provider of additive manufacturing solutions for SMEs and LSEs wants to show to what they are doing already and what they plan to do moving forward. The public announcement is also a form to call of action addressed to anyone who wants to be involved in this initiative (customers or public) – by sharing ideas or suggestions.
As said in our September/October edition of 3D ADEPT Mag, examples are what others are waiting for to get to work. For a 3D printer manufacturer, this means designing products that can sustain heavy work with full operational effectiveness for many years.
With that goal in mind, we make a constant effort in bringing software and hardware upgrades. By providing additional value to all existing customers, these improvements extend the productive life of their Raise3D’s products, thus reducing waste and the consumption of more materials. Other green actions, like the Power Saving Mode feature we have in Raise3D printers, have been implemented before, but may have been unnoticed this far, a press release explains.
Furthermore, one of the first concrete actions that the manufacturer will take, will be the gradual replacement of plastic spools by cardboard spools.
Initially, 6 Premium filaments will benefit from the new spool: PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, PC and TPU-95A. The spool uses glue that can withstand even the high temperatures of filament drying procedures and has been designed to ensure that the quality and reliability of the printing process remains unchanged. Additionally, the spools now have added practicality, with a scale printed on the outside, indicating the amount of filament left. Just like the spools, the corresponding boxes are also made from recycled cardboard and are easy to dispose of and recycle. Customers can expect the new spools to ship with the Premium filament they order from November 2022 onwards, depending on their location, the company explains.
Diogo Quental, who coordinates Raise3D’s Go Green Initiative, said: “the vision we all have is to have ocean’s plastic pollution transformed into filament we can use in 3D Printing, contributing to a circular economy. While there are still many challenges to get there, the innovative process sometimes surprises us with relevant leaps forward, and so we shall hope the dream will one day become a reality, even if it may take one or two decades.” Yes, in the end, every act counts.

Russian president demanded that exports of Russian gas to "unfriendly" countries be settled in rubles. The demand has raised concerns in Germany about possible supply disruptions and the impact on industry and households if utilities do not pay in robles. Europe gets about 40% of its gas from Russia. Last year, Europe imported about 155 billion cubic meters. Germany, Europe's largest economy, depends heavily on Russian gas.
The chief executive of Germany's E.ON said the German economy would face "significant damage, which should be avoided if possible" without Russian supplies. He also said it would take Germany three years to wean itself off Russian gas.
In the event of a supply disruption, Germany's gas network regulator would prioritize home heating over industrial use, so energy-hungry manufacturers such as steelmakers would be the first to suffer, he said.

The United States urges the U.N. Security Council to impose additional sanctions on North Korea in response to its latest ballistic missile launch, including a ban on tobacco and oil exports to North Korea and a blacklist of the Lazarus hacking group.
The United States circulated the draft to the 15 members of the Security Council this week. It was not immediately clear if or when a vote would take place. A resolution requires nine "yes" votes and no vetoes from Russia, China, France, Britain, or the United States.
Russia and China have already voiced opposition to tightening sanctions in response to Pyongyang's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile last month -- the first since 2017.
U.S. and South Korean officials and analysts also say there are growing indications that North Korea may soon conduct its first nuclear weapons test since 2017, too.
The U.S. -drafted U.N. resolution would expand the ban on ballistic missile launches to include cruise missiles or "any other delivery system capable of delivering a nuclear weapon."
The deal would halve crude oil exports to North Korea to 2 million barrels a year and refined oil exports to 250,000 barrels a year. The resolution also seeks to ban North Korea's export of "fossil fuels, mineral oils, and their distilled 3D printing material Ti6Al4V powder TC4 powder are estimated to be influenced by international political situation changes.

Bandai Namco’s signature Tales RPG series will be adding a new chapter on mobile devices in Japan this spring, according to a report from Gematsu.
Tales of Asteria will bring together six of the series’ most popular protagonists—Cress (Phantasia), Lloyd (Symphonia), Luke (Abyss), Yuri (Vesperia), Sophie (Graces f), and Milla (Xillia)—as they attempt to save a world torn asunder over a wish-granting star.
The game will feature full voice acting and a new, tapping-based “cross-slide” combat system.
The question, now, is: What are the chances this will come over to North America? While iOS and Android devices are obviously very popular here, it would cost Bandai Namco time and money to work on localizing it. Plus, this process is already going on for Tales of Xillia 2 and Tales of Zestiria, so you wonder how high on the list of priorities localizing a mobile game is for them. And it wouldn’t be the first time North America missed out on a Tales release. But then again, having Asteria ready to complement the NA release of one of those other games might be a boon as well.
Obviously, time will tell if we ever see this on Western shores, but my bet would be that it’ll be a while, if ever. If you just need a new Tales fix, however, the teaser trailer is embedded below.

India unveiled a data-sharing system that would revolutionize investing and credit score, giving hundreds of thousands of customers better entry and management over their monetary data and increasing the potential pool of shoppers for lenders and fintech firms.
Regulators agreed to permit banks, pension funds, tax authorities, insurers and different finance companies to pool collectively buyer info — as soon as the person consents — to make transactions smoother. If the system works, companies will probably be ready entry giant quantities of information inside seconds to evaluate the creditworthiness of a small enterprise, suggest a wealth administration product for a person, or tailor an insurance coverage coverage for a household.
The Account Aggregator system, years within the planning, was formally launched on Thursday. It’s an formidable method that mixes privateness safety with credit score reporting. Right here’s the way it works:
On one aspect are Monetary Info Suppliers, akin to banks, tax authorities and telecom operators, which possess monetary details about folks and companies and may present it in a standardized format
On the opposite are Monetary Info Customers, akin to non-bank lenders and fintech companies, which search information held by FIPs however have up to now needed to take care of a cumbersome and dear course of to entry it
Within the center are account aggregators, who’re working as intermediaries to clean the move of information and cut back the time required to course of info
The method may very well be a sport changer in a rustic the place hundreds of thousands of underprivileged people and small companies are denied loans as a result of they lack collateral and the comparatively younger credit-rating system covers solely a tiny fraction of the inhabitants. It may broaden the potential pool of shoppers for lending startups akin to NeoGrowth Credit score Pvt and Lendingkart Applied sciences Pvt in addition to expertise giants together with Amazon.com Inc. and Fb Inc. which might be increasing in India’s fintech market by way of merchandise akin to loans to small companies.
“The Account Aggregator mannequin will assist in the democratization of information and shift the ability over information accessibility and utilization to house owners of information relatively than the holders of information,” stated Rajeshwar Rao, deputy governor of the Reserve Financial institution of India, talking on the launch.
Rathanlal Jain, who owns a tiny retailer promoting celebration provides akin to festoons and decorations in Bangalore’s swarming Nagarathpet industrial neighborhood, is among the many beneficiaries.
The 30-year-old businessman gave his consent for the system to grant Lendingkart entry to his financial institution statements. The startup’s algorithms crunched 10,000 variables on the knowledge to find out that Jain was eligible for credit score. “Practically 600,000 rupees ($8,210) got here swiftly into my checking account with none collateral,” stated Jain.
Lendingkart has processed greater than 2,000 mortgage functions like Jain’s by way of the brand new system up to now weeks and authorised a 3rd of them. With out the brand new system, accessing and processing the client information would have been considerably extra laborious and time-consuming.
“Over 120,000 clients method us every month for credit score however simply over 10% of them are capable of present us the digital monetary information to course of their functions,” stated Deepesh Goel, head of technique on the Bangalore-based startup. “The Account Aggregator system may bridge the info hole and make practically 90% of companies eligible to hunt digital credit score.”
The system lets customers pull collectively all types of economic information — beginning with financial institution statements however finally even cellular invoice funds, tax filings and retirement fund balances — that they will then select to share immediately and quickly in pursuit of loans, funding merchandise and even insurance coverage. The nation’s gargantuan items and providers tax system is predicted to return onto the system to supplier customers’ and companies’ monetary information.
India’s newly established digital guidelines and practices lay the groundwork for the data-sharing system. The central financial institution now requires monetary information to be reported in a regular, machine-readable format, which implies it’s simpler to routinely slice and share.
“Most international locations have a framework of information legal guidelines and privateness legal guidelines and acknowledge the people’ proper over their information, however the problem has been to operationalize the rights over information,” stated Siddharth Tiwari, Asia head on the Financial institution for Worldwide Settlements. “In India, we’re wanting on the world’s first open, revocable, granular digital consent-based system the place the person is empowered to resolve who can have a look at their banking and different monetary information.”
A vital profit for much less prosperous people is the potential entry to loans with out collateral. The brand new system may assist an individual show his creditworthiness with info akin to previous monetary transactions, coupled with already obtainable parameters like location of the individual or firm, and the phase a enterprise operates in.
World Financial institution information exhibits that over 1 / 4 of the planet’s people with financial institution accounts lower your expenses within the formal monetary system, however solely about 10% are capable of borrow from the identical system with out tangible collateral, stated Tiwari.
“It’s not even an rising market or creating nation downside,” he stated. “The borrowing problem bogs even high-income international locations.”
The AA system is the place to begin for consent structure that begins with monetary providers however could be equally utilized to health-care information and jobs information, stated Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of Infosys Ltd., who has been concerned with the nation’s Aadhaar digital identification and UPI financial-backbone tasks.
“It’s a transformative initiative,” Nilekani stated on the launch. “No different nation on the earth has developed such thorough data-sharing framework that may be deployed to cowl over 50 million companies and over a billion folks.”

(REUTERS) - GoPro, which makes wearable sports cameras and accessories, filed with US regulators on Monday to raise up to US$100 million (S$125 million) in an initial public offering of common stock.
J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and Barclays are the lead underwriters of the IPO, the company told the USSecurities and Exchange Commission in a preliminary prospectus.
GoPro, founded in 2004, sells its products through specialty retailers who target surf, ski and motorsports enthusiasts.
The San Mateo, California-based company's cameras are also used by the Discovery Channel, ESPN and other networks.
GoPro's founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman and his family are the biggest stockholders with a 49 per cent stake. The company's other prominent shareholder is Foxteq Holdings, a unit of contract manufacturer Foxconn.
GoPro's revenue almost doubled to US$985.7 million in 2013. The company is also profitable, earning US$60.6 million, or 47 cents per share.
The filing did not reveal how many shares the company planned to sell or their expected price.
GoPro said it planned to use the IPO proceeds for working capital, repaying debt, and to acquire or invest in businesses, technologies or assets.
The company intends to list its common stock on the Nasdaq under the symbol "GPRO".
The amount of money a company says it plans to raise in its first IPO filings is used to calculate registration fees. The final size of the IPO could be different.

A Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera supercar has been recently ruined by a tree which fell on it in California.
We have always said here on inautonews.com that where ever there will be exotic cars there will also be exotic car crashes and the latest example of such an unfortunate incident is coming all the way from California, where a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera has definitely seen better days. According to the guys at the Italian supercar in question has been ruined by a tree which fell on it during a windstorm. The incident happened in La Jolla, CA.
The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is a light version of the Gallardo and it was launched in 2007 at the Geneva Auto Show. The Superleggera is paying tribute to the first Lamborghini production model, the 350GT, which was designed and made by Carrozzeria Touring in Milan. The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera is coming in two body styles and it has a mid-engine four-wheel drive layout, while the Balboni Edition is coming with rear-wheel drive. The Superleggera is lighter than the base Lamborghini Gallardo by 100 kg (220 lb) thanks to the use of carbon fiber panels and lightweight materials in the cabin.
