It is common knowledge at this point that Mahindra and Ford are in a partnership in India to develop new cars for the market. The two companies have already announced that they will launch an all-new SUV in the Indian market. While the SUV will come to the market at a later stage the first car that the two brands will together produce will be an all-new electric sedan in the Indian market. The new electric sedan will be based on the Ford Aspire, albeit with a twist. The Ford Aspire being talked about here is the international variant of the car and not the sub-4 meter compact variant that is sold in India. Given that the upcoming car will be an all-electric model, the sub-4 meter rules will not be applicable to it and hence the long wheelbase version of the Ford Aspire can be comfortably used here.
The global variant of Ford Aspire is made in India but the sub-4 meter rules of the country do not allow it to be sold here. Instead, the company sells a shortened version of the sedan in the Indian market. Given that these rules will not be applicable on the upcoming electric car, Ford will use the longer wheelbase version of Aspire without the issue of higher taxes on the longer car. The longer wheelbase of the car will not only help with more roomier interiors, instead the extra space can be used to fit in more batteries in the upcoming electric car. This will translate into longer range of the car.
While the model is being supplied by Ford, it is the Indian UV maker Mahindra that is working on the electric powertrain for the upcoming electric car. The upcoming sedan will likely come with a 380V battery pack that will be rated for 50 kW or 67.98 PS. The batteries used here will be of Lithium ion type. The top speed of the sedan will likely be around 110 km/h and the range is supposed to be 150 kms on a full battery. However, these details remain only speculative as of now as the company has not confirmed anything so far.
Talking of speculations about the upcoming sedan, it is rumored that the all-new electric sedan will likely be launched around the end of 2019 or early 2020. The rumored price of the electric Aspire can be around Rs. 12 lakhs, but the several subsidies on electric cars in India ought to sweeten the deal for prospective customers.

Free trade: China and India prepare for the Trump era
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free-trade agreement has all but collapsed after Donald Trump's election. The TPP deal was signed in February 2016 but was not yet operational at the time of Trump’s accession. Its purpose was to eliminate trade barriers between 12 Pacific Rim countries: Vietnam, Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, New Zealand, Peru and the USA. After Trump announced the USA's withdrawal from TPP at the end of January, two world leaders in textile and apparel sourcing, China and India, neither a TPP signatory, are now seeking to seal other regional trade agreements, as some of their representatives at the Texworld/Apparel Sourcing trade shows in Paris have told FashionNetwork.
"While the TPP was being finalised, the Chinese government continued to push for an alternative agreement, said Zhang Tao, General Secretary of the Chinese Textiles Chamber of Commerce (CCPIT-Tex). Whatever the deal, the purpose of these partnerships is to promote regional and international cooperation for the free circulation of capital and manpower. Indeed, if the countries participating in any such agreement will pledge to introduce improved services, transport and regulations, our industry will surely back them."
"It is obvious that, in terms of trans-Pacific cooperation, in the future we wish to be able to make a deal with China and with the countries of South-East Asia, said Madhukumar Reddy, Joint Secretary of India's Ministry of Textiles. It is a major work-in-progress area, on which we are already busy with our partners, and also a key tool to strengthen the complementarity of our respective industries." "An increasing number of Chinese businesses have invested in foreign countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kenya or Ethiopia, building textile factories there. These investments will enable the Chinese textile supply chain to improve in terms of speed and reactivity," added Zhang Tao. According to him, last year was a challenging one for his country's textile industry, hampered by rising manpower costs, stricter environmental regulations, exchange rate pressure and the slow-down of domestic demand. Yet, despite the slump in exports, China still held on to its global market share.
"The notions of free trade and globalisation are faced with very serious challenges," said however Zhang Tao, specifically referring to the US government's new protectionist lean. But I am sure that, through the joint efforts of the textile industries in all the countries in our region, and a strengthening of our complementarity, textiles can still look forward to a very bright future."
The Joint Secretary of India's Ministry of Textiles instead insisted on the need to build bridges with the West: "We wish to be able to attract professionals from countries with great expertise in textiles, such as France, Italy, Germany and others, and encourage them to exploit the eco-system we have in place in India," said Madhukumar Reddy. According to him, one of the milestones of this strategy will be the first edition of a major industry trade show scheduled for the end of June 2017. The event’s launch coincides with the mounting uncertainty about future trade relations between the USA and its supplier countries.
An uncertainty which has caused sourcing countries to turn towards Europe, despite the slump in the latter's levels of domestic demand. According to the Institut Français de la Mode, the French Fashion Institute, in the first 11 months of 2016, China and India were respectively the first and fourth apparel supplier to the EU, with €25.5 billion (-8%) and €4.7 billion (stable) worth of goods respectively exported to Europe. The two countries were also the first and third textile supplier to the EU, with respectively €9 billion (+1%) and €2.5 billion (+2%) worth of goods exported.

The money will go to this year's ChildAid, an annual charity concert organised by The Straits Times and The Business Times.
The concert raises funds for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund (SPMF), which gives needy students money for recess and transport fees, as well as The Business Times Budding Artists Fund, which pays for arts training for disadvantaged children. At last year's concert, $2,057,237 was raised.
Suntory Beverage & Food Asia, which has supported the SPMF since it was set up in 2000, donated $100,000 last year.

PLANO (CBSDFW.COM) – A Wal-Mart store in Plano is one of the first in the country that will allow customers to scan items with their iPhone or iPad so that a prepared receipt is ready when they reach checkout.
After debuting late last year the new “Scan & Go” program is being tested in markets across the country, including North Texas, Houston and Austin.
Shopper Kim Roussy says she always plans her trips to Wal-Mart early in the morning, to avoid the crowd and long lines. “Sometimes just after eight o’clock I get here.”
Wal-Mart officials say they hope to make the shopping experience easier for people like Roussy. On Thursday Bobby Nicholson, who manages the Wal-Mart store on Ohio Drive in Plano, gave details on the new Scan & Go program.
Customers start at a kiosk when they walk in the store. “I can grab the sack I may need for my shopping experience,” Nicholson explained. Next step – open the Wal-Mart app on your phone. The app will recognize that you’re in a Wal-Mart store and then begin giving prompts.
Customers then scan the bar codes of merchandise wanted for purchase. If you change your mind and don’t want something just press, “edit” and delete the item.
The Scan & Go system adds up the items as you shop and keeps a running total, so you know how much you’re going to spend. The customer then pays the final bill at the register.
While managers say shoppers can use the Scan & Go at full-service checkout counters, it will take longer there. However, the Scan & Go program is fully downloaded at the self-checkout registers, so moving through those lanes will be faster.
Customers will still have to have produce weighed and calculated at the register and identification will still have to be checked by a worker when purchasing alcohol. Customers using the app can pay as normal, with cash, credit or debit cards.
“I think it’s very interesting,” Roussy said. “I think I’ll probably use it, probably save me time, especially when I’m in a rush.”
To make sure customers are being honest and to guard against shoplifting, Wal-Mart workers will randomly audit customer purchases.
When a CBS 11 News crew tested out the system some item scans were a bit slow – taking as long as 20 seconds to process.
Currently the Scan & Go app is only available for Apple devices.

It’s been a difficult experience for the crypto market in 2022. As of November the market was down by more than 70 percent from the previous high on November 20, 2021. Just when the market was getting worse, the FTX crash turned things even worse. So, will the crypto market be able to recover by 2023?
Crypto Market Dips are Cyclical
The crypto market, especially Bitcoin, has seen its fair share of dips in the past. And every time, it’s bounced back with a huge rally.
For instance, in 2013, Bitcoin reached a peak of $1,160. Then it fell for over a year before reaching a bottom of $150. However, in 2017 it broke that record and hit a record highest of $19,600. Then, in 2018, it was trading at $3,100. And in 2020, it broke through the resistance, and reached a record highest of $68,000 in November 2021. Then, just like that we’ve seen another dip. However, history has shown us that at the end of every dip the bull runs.
Every Dip is Followed by a Long Bull Run
Similar to what we’ve witnessed previously, dips are usually followed by a lengthy bull run that eventually breaks through the resistance created by the previous high price. This is evident in not just Bitcoin but also other cryptocurrencies.
Growing Use of Crypto and Blockchain
Blockchain and cryptocurrency technology has come a long way in the last few years. With more and more companies and industries adopting the technology, its use and acceptance is increasing. From banking to gaming, crypto is being used in many ways. And this growing use case could lead to more people being involved in the market which could boost prices.
The rise in interest of institutions in crypto
In recent years we’ve witnessed a rising demand from investors of institutional scale in crypto. From banks to hedge funds and even large corporations are now exploring the possibilities in crypto currencies. The increasing interest from institutions could bring more stability to the market for crypto and result in greater prices.
Regulations from the Government
As the crypto market grows as it matures, governments all over the world are beginning to establish more favorable regulations for crypto. This is likely to attract more investors as well as increase the adoption rate of crypto.
A broader range of blockchain applications
The technology that underlies the majority of cryptocurrencies, blockchain has a wide range of applications that go beyond just financial transactions. For example, from supply chain management and voting, many industries are exploring ways they can utilize blockchain technology, which could drive more investment and interest in crypto.
Technologies are constantly evolving.
Blockchain and cryptocurrency technology is still in the beginning stages of development. As advances continue to be made in areas such as scalability and security, the potential of crypto assets will grow. This could lead to greater adoption and higher prices.
Global economic uncertainty is growing

Since the economic outlook for the world remains uncertain it could result in increased demand for crypto and more expensive prices.
Interest from retail investors
The institutional investors aren’t alone in ones showing interest in cryptocurrency. Retail investors, also known as individual investors are also beginning to get involved in the market for crypto. With increasing numbers of people are educated about crypto and how to invest in it, this could lead to an increase in demand and consequently higher prices.

Financial decentralization (DeFi) is an area that is rapidly expanding in the crypto market that enables financial services to be developed using blockchain technology. As DeFi continues to grow and more projects and platforms come online, this could result in increased use and higher prices for crypto.
Advances in crypto-based payment methods
As the crypto market continues to grow as more and more businesses are starting using crypto to be a means of payment. This could lead to increased usage of crypto in daily transactions and an increase in the cost of transactions.
More investment from sovereign wealth funds
These funds are government-owned instruments for investing, are starting to show interest in crypto as a potential asset class. As more funds devote a percentage or their entire portfolios to cryptocurrency, this could increase demand and more expensive prices.
Cryptocurrency is used for international payments
One of the biggest benefits of crypto is the ability to make swift and affordable cross-border transactions. As more and more people and businesses start to utilize cryptocurrency for international transactions this can lead to a rise in the demand for it and a rise in prices.
An increasing number of crypto ATM’s
The number of ATMs for crypto continue to increase, it will become easier for people to buy and hold crypto, which will drive up demand and prices.
Security tokens are developed for development
Security tokens, which are digital assets that represent ownership of an asset, like stock or real estate, are a rapidly growing segment of the cryptocurrency market. Since more and more security tokens will be issued and traded, this can lead to a higher demand, and thus higher prices for crypto.
More adoption by merchants
With the increasing number of merchants begin accepting crypto as a form of payment, it will make it more convenient for consumers to utilize and store crypto, which can increase demand and price.
So, will crypto increase in 2023? Only time will tell. But with these factors to consider, it’s likely that the cryptocurrency market will be able to see a rebound in 2023. If you’re looking to invest for the long-term Being patient and disciplined is crucial.

Late-night trips to Sheetz could get a little more exciting with the reveal of the company’s new secret menu items. Now, you just have to find them.

According to TribLive.com, a customer in State College found the secret menu under a label titled “Pop’s Kitchen” while ordering from an electronic kiosk at a local Sheetz.
The menu includes French Toast Stick Mess, Mac n’ Cheese Burger, Meat Ball Pizza Sandwich, Grilled Cheese Spicy Chicken Sandwich and a Taco Quesadilla, according to the outlet.

A Sheetz customer service representative said secret menu items will expand to all Sheetz locations if the tests are successful, TribLive.com reports.
Sheetz Inc. is based in Altoona, Pa. and has over 500 chains along the east coast.

Whenever a new Netflix TV series or original movie catches your attention, try to sit down to watch it within the first month of it being on the streaming video service. Yes, many of us no doubt have a pile of content to watch that keeps getting larger behind the “My List” tab, but for those of you who save these things and tell yourself you’ll get around to them as soon as you can, just know that it’s within the first 28 days that Netflix has a pretty good idea of whether it decides a piece of content has been a hit or a miss.
That’s according to Cindy Holland, Netflix’s vice president of original content who sat for an interview moderated by Keshet Media Group CEO Avi Nir as part of the INTV conference (an annual event on innovation in television) Monday in Jerusalem. During the conference, she also shared some revealing data points about how much content Netflix subscribers are watching — and the different ways they’re doing so.
For example, it might come as a surprise that in this smartphone-dominated age more Netflix subscribers nevertheless still watch the service’s shows and movies on TVs rather than phones — though phone viewership is on the rise, per Holland. Also, subscribers watch two hours of Netflix content a day, on average, with most of that happening on the weekends and during holidays.
Holland said Netflix also looks for something else in the viewership data that reveals what people are watching, and how much. Netflix uses its data to determine where the “white space” is — to figure out, in other words, where the opportunities are to feed audiences new kinds of shows and movies that they currently aren’t being served.
To that end, the Netflix prison drama Orange is the New Black was one such gamble and one of the series Holland confessed to being the most proud of. It was a roll of the dice, she said according to a Variety report about her remarks during the conference. “And it turned out pretty well. It wasn’t designed to work around the world, but it absolutely did … Everyone expected House of Cards to be good, but Orange Is the New Black, no one saw it coming.”
She added that success of another Netflix original, Narcos, gave the company confidence to ramp up its investment in international series. All of which, of course, are insights that point to where Netflix will go next — and, more importantly, how it will try to ward off the influx of new streaming rivals coming this year and next from deep-pocketed rivals like

HONG KONG: Hong Kong consumers are online on mobile devices more than any other Asian market, frequently using them in purchase decisions, but marketers have yet to allocate budgets accordingly, a new report has found.
A study undertaken by Mindshare, Yahoo! and TNS examined mobile behaviour in Hong Kong and the wider Asia-Pacific region and found that people in Hong Kong spent as much time daily looking at the screens of mobile devices (139 minutes) as they did television (140 minutes).
In addition, much of that time overlapped, which meant, noted Campaign Asia-Pacific, that the smaller screen had a greater impact on consumers as an interactive device would have more sway over consumers who were dividing their attention between the two.
But, as in markets elsewhere, marketers in Hong Kong appeared to be significantly underspending on mobile with only 11% of their digital budgets going there.
Deepika Nikhilender of Mindshare compared the current situation to the time when companies had first begun using websites as part of their marketing. "There wasn't a lot of clarity on how to use it and the full integration wasn't there … we're seeing the dynamic repeat itself in mobile," she said.
The need for marketers to rethink their digital strategies was further emphasised by the finding that half (48%) of Hong Kong consumers had used their smartphones for showrooming, while the great majority (85%) had used it for pre-purchase research. "That is the point where influence matters," declared Nikhilender.
"Not only do brands need to do a better job integrating mobile into their overall plan, they need to expand the ways they use it," she added.
And she cautioned against thinking that producing an app constituted a mobile strategy, arguing that could leave a brand isolated as consumers used their mobile devices in an integrated way. And in any case there were already thousands of apps available, making it difficult to cut through the noise.
The survey found that online marketing and games were among the best ways of creating a positive impression of a brand via mobile in Hong Kong.

City Of Austin Expanding Recycling Program
Austin Resource Recovery announced they will expand its recycling program Thursday to add some aluminum materials.
“We are adding aluminum baking tins and aluminum baking pies and we’re adding aluminum foil,” said Austin Resource Recovery director Bob Gedert.
Each household has a bundled service, which includes trash, recycling and trimmings, but Gedert says their blue recycling bins are being underutilized.
“We are averaging about 25 pounds per household of recyclables per collection day. We really should be around 30 to 32 pounds per household,” said Gedert.
With more items like aluminum foil being added to the list, Gedert hopes this encourages people to reduce their landfill intake.
The good news? It’s no extra cost to customers.
“We pay for processing costs, but we receive a market revenue of the material which offsets our cost,” said Gedert.
As for how much the city makes off of each recycle depends on the market value. From that the city receives a percentage so your cost does not increase.
“Things go up all the time so that's great,” said customer Angela Wallace.
Wallace couldn’t be happier about the extra material being added for nothing. “I like to recycle things. It helps the environment,” said Wallace.
She’s been recycling for years and wants the program to expand further. “I think it would be great to have Styrofoam and Christmas paper,” said Wallace.
Every year the city plans to add a new material that will help Austin reduce its carbon footprint and reduce 90 percent of waste by 2040.
City customers should be receiving a calendar in the mail next week, which will tell you what day your recyclables are picked up and have a list of what you can recycle.

Effective, 1st January 2019, major shipping lines will be implementing a new Bunker Adjustment Factor (BAF) in order to cover the costs following the International Maritime Organisation’s sulphur cap regulations.
The aim is to reduce the amount of sulphur in bunker fuels to 0,5% and move towards a more environmentally friendly industry. The new guidelines mean extra costs incurred by the shipping lines and in turn, the customer.
Shipping lines will apply and adjust the existing bunker surcharges on a trade-by-trade basis. These charges will be based on specific line costs, transit times and fuel efficiency. Although the restrictions will only be introduced in 2020, the additional charges will be billed from January 2019. This is to help customers plan for the 2020 regulations, however many feel that the shipping lines are cashing in on a full 12 months of charges before the rule is implemented.
We will keep all customers updated as the January 2019 implementation approaches.

What Is It?
The Nissan Sentra NISMO Concept isn’t a concept car in the traditional sense. There’s no unusual name, strange styling or cutting-edge technology that’s years away from seeing production. Instead, it’s simply a high-performance concept version of Nissan’s compact Sentra sedan.
The formula for the Sentra NISMO Concept is simple. Nissan took the standard Sentra sedan and its 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine and added a turbocharger for more power. The result is 240 horsepower, which is over 100 hp more than the base-level Sentra. There’s also a 6-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential and sport suspension to improve handling, and Brembo brakes from the sporty 370Z.
On the outside, the Sentra NISMO Concept offers several exciting upgrades. The most obvious is black-painted 19-inch wheels, which give the sedan a high-performance look. But there’s also a trunk spoiler, a rear diffuser, chromed exhaust tips, larger fender flares and side skirts, and a more aggressive front bumper. Inside, there’s a “race-inspired” steering wheel and sport seats finished in leather and Alcantara.
Will They Ever Sell It?
It’s hard to say. Nissan went to a lot of trouble to create the NISMO Sentra Concept — and, frankly, it looks a lot more like a production car than a concept car. The brand also appears to be getting in touch with its sporty side, as proven by the Juke NISMO RS, which also debuted in LA. That said, Nissan says for now that the NISMO Sentra Concept is, unfortunately, just that.
Why It’s Important
The Nissan Sentra was once a popular economy car with a wild side. In the early 1990s, Nissan sold a sporty Sentra SE-R that’s still revered by sport compact-car enthusiasts. With the Sentra NISMO Concept, Nissan seems to be showing us that the forces that created the Sentra SE-R are still alive and well — and the automaker can unleash something similar if the public reaction is strong enough.
The Sentra NISMO Concept also proves Nissan is emphasizing performance these days. The brand has debuted several NISMO models lately, including a 370Z and a Juke, and seems to be focused on increasing its presence among car enthusiasts.

The Marin Institute is calling on Facebook to stop accepting paid ads for alcoholic beverages and to ban alcohol-related pages, applications and events, citing a study that found that alcohol-related content is reaching underage Facebook users despite company policies designed to prevent such marketing.
Depiction of alcohol and other drug use by minors on Facebook pages has long been a concern of preventionists, school officials and parents. But the latest controversy springs from Facebook’s recent moves to monetize the site, founded in 2004 and currently the world’s largest social-networking site with 300 million members.
Originally intended for use by college students, Facebook now counts among its membership everyone from preteens to retirees. An estimated one-third of the site’s members are under the legal drinking age.
Marin Institute researcher Sarah Mart, author of the “Alcohol Promotion and Facebook” report, takes a dim view of the changes. “Facebook started as a fun tool for college students to interact and connect, but it has morphed into yet another means for corporations to exploit its users, particularly youth,” she said. “As Facebook continues to grow as the youth market’s social-networking tool of choice, the alcohol industry’s influence on Facebook must not be underestimated.”
A Facebook spokesperson told Join Together that the company “take[s] the issue of underage drinking seriously and believe the standards we have set in this area lead the Internet and media industries.”
“Specifically, we require that all alcohol-related advertisements use our tools and demographic targeting options to restrict the ad to users who are over the legal drinking age,” the Facebook spokesperson said. “We strictly enforce this policy through proactive investigations and response to user reports. We also require developers to restrict access to alcohol-focused applications, and respond to all reports of breaches in this policy.”
The Marin report, however, contends that Facebook’s Alcohol Advertising Guidelines — which resemble the alcohol industry’s own voluntary advertising guidelines — go largely unenforced, and that underage members are among those exposed to paid alcohol ads and promotional content — some of which promotes dangerous drinking, the report says. Facebook also does not place age restrictions on alcohol-related events or groups, so under-21 users are able to access many of these features, the report noted.
“The only way to protect youth and young adults from the incessant promotion of alcohol on Facebook is to remove all promotional content about alcohol,” said report co-author Jacob Mergendoller, a student at Wesleyan University. Marin called on Facebook to hire external monitors to enforce its rules on alcohol-related content, as well.
Marin researchers created a Facebook profile for an underage user and another for a 21-plus user, then used both to test the accessibility of alcohol-related content. The fictitious profile included interests and activities — such as “alcohol” and “bars” — designed to attract alcohol companies, who gain access to such data when they advertise on Facebook. They found that pages for brands like Captain Morgan, Jack Daniels, Bacardi, Bacardi Breezer, Heineken, and Mike’s Hard Lemonade were accessible to the under-21 user, as was an application called “Shots!” that allowed users to send virtual shots of alcohol to their Facebook friends.
Another application called “Beer Mail,” which encouraged users to “share some beer with your friends and get them drunk,” also could be used by the under-21 member, the Marin report said. Facebook events featuring alcohol were ubiquitous, researchers found, and the under-21 user could access events like “Smirnoff Saturdays” at a North Carolina bar and the “Captain Morgan Welcome Back Tour of Gainesville,” which targeted students at the University of Gainesville.
Overall, searches conducted by Marin researchers yielded 93 pages with more than 1.1 million fans for the top-selling beer brands, 2,200 events for the top five beer brands and another 2,200 for the top liquor brands, and 58,000 groups related to the search term “alcohol.”
“Facebook’s policies regarding alcohol ads and alcohol-related content in pages, applications, events, and groups do not effectively protect its users from exposure,” the report concluded. “Facebook does not appear to monitor or ensure compliance with its own alcohol advertising rules, despite Facebook’s claim that it reserves the right to reject or remove advertising that it deems contrary to its advertising philosophy.”
Many of the alcohol-related pages are created by individual Facebook users, not alcohol companies or sellers, Marin acknowledged. However, Mart and colleagues noted that alcohol companies are attracted to the viral-marketing opportunities available to them through Facebook pages, applications, events and groups.
“At the same time that Facebook must address the inadequacies of its policies, the alcohol industry must also question its affiliation with Facebook as a marketing tool when content so blatantly violates many of the industry’s own advertising guidelines,” the report said. “Pages, applications, events, and groups all contained numerous posts about harmful behaviors associated with specific brand names of a variety of beer and spirits, many accessible to users of all ages.”
Without conceding fault, Facebook officials struck a conciliatory tone in response to the Marin report. “We would welcome the opportunity to work with the Marin Institute to challenge others to meet the standards we’ve set,” a spokesperson for Facebook said. “We plan to reach out to the Marin Institute in hopes that their research may have revealed violations in our policies and to open a dialogue around industrywide standards.”

L’Oréal Caribe opens Gustazos Beauty store in San Patricio Plaza
L’Oréal Caribe and Gustazos announced the opening of its Gustazos Beauty store at San Patricio Plaza in Guaynabo, a 1,530 square-foot location that featured touchless technology.

“The arrival of GBeauty to San Patricio Plaza adds great value to the offerings for our guests and allows us to continue supporting local commerce,” said Adolfo “Tito” González, president of Empresas Caparra, San Patricio Plaza’s parent company.

Mukesh Ambani said that the Indian economy does not have access to next level digital infrastructure yet, adding that mobile computing is the defining technology of the century.
India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani on Wednesday equated the importance of data to that of the natural resources. “We are at the beginning of an era where data is the new oil,” he said at an industry event.
Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries Ltd, which in turn control Reliance Jio Infocomm, said that India has the potential to be among the top 10 players in terms of broadband access.
Reliance Jio’s entry into the telecom space has forced the incumbent players to drastically cut tariffs – as much as by 66% – in order to retain their customer base, and has put the entire sector under tremendous pressure of choosing between protecting margins and user base. Reliance Jio recently extended its inaugural free voice and data plan till March 31 drawing complaints and criticisms from its biggest rivals Airtel and Vodafone, who assert that its anti-competitive practices and freebies are hurting the industry.
Vodafone – India’s second largest operator – and Idea – the third largest – are in discussions to merge their operations in an effort to gain the required scale to take on the heightened competition from Reliance Jio.

Mukesh Ambani further said that Aadhaar – the unique identity provided to individuals by the government – had enabled the company to acquire a million customers a day. “Individual identity in terms of Aadhaar serves us in multipurpose ways,” Ambani said.
Reliance Industries, India’s largest business conglomerate, launched its much awaited telecommunication venture Reliance Jio Infocomm last year with a whopping Rs 1.5 trillion investments to start with, mainly in building high-speed internet infrastructure over the new 4G/LTE network across the entire country. It topped it up with an announcement of a further investment of Rs 30,000 crore in December.
Reliance Jio had earlier last month said that it has been adding 600,000 new users per day had already added 72.4 million customers as on December 31 on its network since launch in a hyper competitive market.

Ambani said that the Indian economy does not have access to next level digital infrastructure yet, adding that mobile computing is the defining technology of the century.
He further said election of Donald Trump as the new President of the United States is a blessing in disguise for India, as it will lead to Indian information technology companies focus on the domestic problems. “Indians are at the bleeding end of the technology,” Ambani said.
Donald Trump has made it difficult for overseas firms to do business in the United States with stringent visa policies, making it more expensive for Indian companies to send techies to the United States to work alongside the client.

Samsung SDI announced that it is buying Samsung's Cheil Industries for $3.3 billion in stock. SDI hopes that the merger will expand the reach of its lithium-ion battery business through the chemical and materials supply chain of Cheil.
Cheil Industries is involved with OLED materials, and in August 2013, Cheil Industries (together with Samsung Electronics) acquired Novaled for â¬260 million. According to Analysts, this merger will also create synergies in the OLED market for automobiles. Now SDI may use Cheil's OLED business to target materials for OLED lighting and displays in automobiles.
Up until 2008 Samsung SDI handled Samsung's OLED business, and in 2008 Samsung Mobile Display was spun off. SMD was later merged into Samsung Display - which today handles all of Samsung's display business - including OLED displays. Samsung SDI changed its focus to renewable energy (mostly L-ion batteries).

The Huawei Honor V40 series could be launched this December. According to a tipster on Twitter, there should be two devices, namely the V40 Pro and V40 Pro +. Both the devices will sport a 6.72-inch full HD+ curved display with 120Hz refresh rate.
The CPU in both the phones have an interesting selection as Qualcomm does not supply chips to them. The Honor V40Pro will be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 1000+ Soc and the V40Pro + by Huawei's Kirin 9000 Soc.

In the camera segment, the V40 series is expected to have a Sony IMX700 RYYB 50-megapixel main sensor. There isn’t any info on the number of cameras present, as we haven’t any hints on whether the smartphone will come with a triple or a quad rear digital camera setup. On the front, however, the phone is expected to feature a dual-camera setup situated in a pill-shaped cutout in the display.
The phones are rumoured to be equipped with 66W SuperCharge wired charging along with 40W Wireless charging. That said, we can expect other features like a glass build, stereo speakers, USB-C ports, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Dual-SIM, and more. Of course, these specifications may/may not differ in the final versions.
There was an earlier tip that the phones could be launched this November as the previous Honor V30 and Honor V30 Pro smartphones were launched in November last year. It was speculated that the Chinese manufacturer would follow a similar trend this year. Nonetheless, there is no official news from Honor yet.

A futuristic Google tablet is in the works, which is packed with sensors and has advanced software that can take precise 3D images of objects, the Wall Street Journal reports. The tablet is said to have a seven-inch screen, and will come with two back cameras and infrared depth sensors.
According to the Journal, the effort stems from a Google research project, known as Project Tango. In February, Google released a prototype smartphone out of that group, which also boasted sensors that could come up with a 3D map of your surroundings.
Google is said to plan to produce about 4,000 prototype tablets starting next month, ahead of its annual developer conference.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — As Kern Country kids embark on yet another month of distance learning, many students are complaining of headaches and poor sleep due to unprecedented screen time. Some families are buying blue light glasses to combat the adverse effects that come with an increase in computer time.
Krystyn Moore said her children had experienced physical discomfort due to the long hours of distance learning.
“My youngest son rubs his eyes a lot of he’s staring at the computer,” said Moore.
After learning about the potentially harmful effects surrounding increased screen time, she decided to buy a blue light blocking glasses for her children.
“I bought all four of them a pair,” said Moore. “The glasses have become a part of their routine; they don’t get on the computer without them.”
Dr. Vin Dang, an Optometrist with Empire Eye and Laser Center, has had an influx of patients concerned about blue light. He says while the jury is “still out” on the longterm implications of increased screen time, early studies do seem to suggest a correlation between prolonged exposure to blue light and eye damage.
“The evidence in terms of blue light has been shown to cause Macular Degeneration in some cases,” said Dr. Dang.
However, the eye doctor cautions families purchasing retail blue light blocking glasses to spend smartly.
“Many of the pairs you find on sites like Amazon aren’t blocking the right blue light,” said Dr. Dang. “Prolonged use of these glasses can lead to other issues, including disruption of your circadian rhythm, mood changes, and depression.”
Instead, Dang recommends kids with eye irritation from increased technology use try natural remedies. The most crucial is taking routine breaks in between classes.
If the issues persist, he says, make an appointment with an Optometrist to see if your child needs a professional-grade pair blue light blocking glasses.

With the increasing dominance of Amazon in Canada, other non-retail industrial market players will have to deal with fierce competition for space, according to property research and technology firm CoStar.
“Amazon is trying to up their game [to] get more same-day or next-day [delivery] capacity in some of these markets that they didn’t really have … at this point,” CoStar head of market analytics Roelof van Dijk told Postmedia in an interview.
The e-commerce giant’s Canadian expansion is accelerating with progressively larger installations nationwide, following its launch of a 600,000-square-foot facility in Calgary last year.
Earlier this year, Amazon’s massive distribution centre measuring one million sf was completed in Ottawa. By 2020, another one-million-sf facility is scheduled to begin operations in Edmonton.
The company’s commanding presence is such that it might even convince other retailers to jump onto the trend.
“They’re getting bigger and badder and that’s not going to stop,” van Dijk noted. “If Amazon is getting bigger and faster in their local market, [competitors are] going to need to do the same.”
Toronto and Vancouver’s already-crowded industrial markets will only buckle further under the weight of this inflamed competition, CoStar stated.
“We now have e-commerce fulfillment centres going in and taking up space, and that’s almost like retail taking up industrial space — and that’s happening more and more,” van Dijk explained.
“That’s been driving down vacancy in those markets because we just haven’t kept up with construction activity.”

Are influencers on social media making you spend too much money?
We’ve all seen it. Influencers posting videos about their thousand dollar shopping hauls or house tours of million dollar mansions is becoming a common occurrence in the social media landscape. Of course, this gratuitous spending only leads to higher views and ultimately more cash flow. Yet, how does watching the rich get richer affect the average viewer?
Recently, studies have shown that watching these influencers spend on social media makes us ultimately spend on equally frivolous purchases. Does anyone really need a collection of designer perfumes running at $200 per one-ounce bottle? Or what about $1,000 worth of cheap clothing? Here’s what researchers believe is the consequence of following wealthy influencers on social media.
Rise of luxury-focused social media content
On YouTube, you’ll be bombarded with influencers bragging about their riches before you can even search for a bread-baking video. It’s becoming increasingly common that influencers are becoming transparent about their financial success. Some content creators even release videos breaking down how much cash they rake in on a monthly basis.
Be it TikTok or YouTube, viewers can’t help but eat this content up. Watching the elite spending their riches as you’ve always wanted to is nothing short of addictive. It’s undeniably alluring to watch how people make a fortune on creating TikToks or Instagram posts. Thus, a cycle is created where viewers watch wealthy influencers spend which gives them even more money to spend and create content for their viewers.
Unfortunately, the effect of watching these luxurious shopping sprees only encourages the average viewer’s materialistic needs. The result? Spending on clothing or products that you probably wouldn’t have if you didn’t watch that one YouTube clothing haul video.
Psychological effects of watching influencer content
According to a study by the Journal of Neuroscience in 2007, researchers found that a person’s brain when thinking about earning money looks similar to an addict’s brain when on cocaine. The thought of being rich can immediately lead to a burst of dopamine.
Brian Knutson, a psychology & neuroscience professor at Stanford University, remarked, “We very quickly found out that nothing had an effect on people like money – not naked bodies or corpses. It got people riled up. Like food provides motivation for dogs, money provides it for people.”
Additionally, it’s been reported that even watching too much social media content about money can create a major amount of stress. Licensed psychotherapist Joyce Marter explained, “It can also fuel anger and resentment about how systemic racism, sexism, discrimination, or marginalization may have impacted somebody’s financial life in very different ways than a person of privilege.”
What we don’t see in influencers’ content
Be it a Kardashian photoshopping their waists or couple vloggers with secretly failing relationships, not everything we see online is the truth. When watching influencers on social media it’s all too easy to forget the actual hardships or setbacks these stars may endure.
Joyce Marter added, “It is important to maintain perspective and recognize we are only seeing part of the picture and to know that every person and business leader has struggled too.”
Obviously, the most sure-fire way to steer clear of influencers’ high-life content would be to avoid social media altogether. However, that’s clearly easier said than done. As Marter suggested, if you can’t seem to unfollow your go-to dopamine boost, you should remember that not everything is as great as influencers on social media make it seem. Reminder, no, you don’t need that $70 candle.
Are you addicted to luxurious house tours and shopping hauls? Which wealthy influencers on social media are you most envious of? Let us know who you hate to love in the comments below!

Lawmakers hope candy tax could be sweet charity for budget
June 2, 2010
By Warren Kagarise
The latest measure to close a $2.8 billion state budget gap could hit consumers in the sweet tooth.
Consumers will pay sales tax for candy, gum and soda starting June 1. Lawmakers imposed a 2-cents-per-12-ounces tax on carbonated beverages last month. Legislators also repealed the sales tax exemption for bottled water.
But the impending candy tax — with more exemptions than a Whitman’s Sampler has chocolates — has attracted the most attention.
The state does not levy sales tax on food. Lawmakers decided to no longer consider candy as a food. Instead the state will consider candy as, well, candy. Not all candy, however.
Products made with flour derived from grain will not be considered candy. The exempt items include both the chocolatey — Twix and other cookie-based bars — and the gummy — Twizzlers and other licorice.
Confused? The state Department of Revenue has posted a list of more than 3,000 sweets online to help consumers tell the difference between taxable and exempt indulgences.
Candy manufacturers may receive a business-and-occupation tax credit of $1,000 for each employee position maintained for a year. Department of Revenue spokesman Mike Gowrylow jokingly referred to the credit as “the sweetener” for unhappy confectioners.
Snoqualmie Falls Candy Factory could feel a pinch from the increase. Co-owner Sharon Sorstokke said the factory would not be taxed on the wholesale items it sells to other businesses to prevent the candy from being taxed twice, but the factory will have to charge a tax on the candy it sells at street and county fairs.
“I’m not real thrilled about it,” Sorstokke said. “It is somewhat of a hassle to collect the tax. It does take business owners time and expense to collect the tax.”
Once the candy tax begins, “Kit Kat bars are suddenly going to become very popular,” Sorstokke predicted.
Suzy Cassidy, who operates Chocolate 2 Die 4 out of her North Bend home, said the tax was more of a headache than anything. If one of her gift baskets contains a candy item, she’ll have to tax the whole thing, even if the other items don’t qualify as candy, she said.
“It just makes the accounting harder,” Cassidy said. “I don’t think it will hurt sales.”
