Supermarkets are full of "lite" foods and "lite" drinks aimed at calorie-conscious shoppers.
But now the federal government is ordering manufacturers to tell us exactly what a "lite" or "low-fat" label means, and it's about time.
For years, health-conscious people have been buying all kinds of products with terms like "lite," "lean" or "low-fat" on the label, all because they're supposed to be healthier for us to eat. But that's not necessarily true.
The problem is that nobody's really sure what these terms mean. The federal government has virtually no standards for defining terms such as "low-fat," "lite" or "lean."
The Food and Drug Administration has never defined what qualifies as a "lite" or "low-fat" food. In fact, people may think they're buying a "lite" product that's low in fat or calories, but actually, it may just be light in color or weight. But now, the United States Department of Agriculture is going to change all that so people can finally start getting some accurate and honest information.
You've probably seen more and more products at the supermarket claiming to be "lite," "low-fat" or "lean." Until now, these terms could mean just about anything. But not any more.
Recently, the USDA clarified an existing law for defining these terms. But the new policy only applies to meat and poultry.
The new requirements will ensure that products claiming to be "low-fat" are naturally low in fat, or that their fat content actually has been reduced.
An "extra lean" label will mean the product cannot contain more than 5 percent fat. And, processors will have to tell you on the label exactly how much fat is in the product.
The terms "lean" and "low-fat" will be used only on products containing less than 10 percent fat. Terms such as "lite" or "leaner" will still be OK, but only if the meat or poultry has at least 25 percent less fat than most similar products. To avoid confusion, all of these terms will have to be explained clearly on the label of each product.
We're going to start seeing these new labels soon. All meat and poultry processors have until March 31, 1987, to comply with the new law. I think the USDA is on the right track. But the entire problem hasn't been solved yet. The new regulation only applies to meat and poultry products. There are dozens of other foods making similar "lite" and "low-fat" claims.

After announcing a new flagship smartphone this month, Yu Mobiles, a Micromax subsidiary, has sent out invites for the launch of its latest flagship smartphone; YU YUNICORN.
The company will launch the smartphone in an event to be held on May 19.
“Fantasy will soon become reality. Join us in the unveiling of the phone that will redefine flagships,” the invite reads. However, no information is provided regarding the phone’s design or its features.
Last week, the company’s co-founder and CEO Rahul Sharma appeared in a video. The video shows him smashing a model of a ship with a hammer.
“It (UNICORN) will break records, it will break the conventional, it will break the rules…WAIT, it will break the flagships,” Rahul Sharma said in his statement regarding YU YUNICORN.
From the teaser and the invite, one thing is clear that YU and its CEO Rahul is quite confident about the new smartphone and why it shouldn’t be? After all, it has delivered so many promosing smartphones in the past: Yu Yureka, Yu Yureka Plus, followed by Yu Yunique, Yu Yutopia and Yu Yuphoria. Over the time YU Televentures have established itself as a successful brand in mid-range smartphone market. As such, we can also expect something unique and out of the box with Yu Yunicorn.
Few days back, a Yu smartphone codenamed Yu5530 was spotted in a Geekbench benchmark listing. According to the bench mark listing, the Yu5530 features an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 (MT6755M) processor clocked at 1.8GHz, and comes with 4GB of RAM. The device is reported to run on Android 5.1 Lollipop and might support Cyanogen OS.
Well, there are pretty much chances that the codenamed Yu5530 smartphone is YU Yunicorn indeed.
Whatever it is! The mystery unfolds on May 19. Stay tuned for more updates!

NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks rose on Friday morning, boosted by strong earnings' reports and an unexpected increase of the nation's retail sales.
Shortly after the opening bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 218.42 points, or 0.63 percent, to 35,130.98. The S&P 500 added 20.58 points, or 0.46 percent, to 4,458.84. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 43.54 points, or 0.29 percent, to 14,866.97.
All the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors advanced in morning trading, with energy and financials up 1.3 percent and one percent respectively, leading the gains.
Goldman Sachs posted third-quarter results on Friday that exceeded analysts' expectations, sending the stock up more than one percent.
Other financial giants including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup also reported better-than-anticipated earnings earlier this week.
On the economic front, U.S. retail sales climbed 0.7 percent in September after a 0.9-percent gain in August, the Department of Commerce reported on Friday. Economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting a 0.2-percent decline.
"September data was lifted by high inflation and fear of COVID shifting demand from services to goods," Will Compernolle, senior economist at FHN Financial, said Friday in a note.
"The personal spending report in two weeks will tell us how much that inflation and demand shift distorted the actual strength of consumer spending in September," Compernolle added.
On Thursday, U.S. stocks surged with the Dow closing up more than 500 points.

Lyft now has an estimated valuation of around $4.92 billion after the company received $104.9 million from Saudi Arabia's Prince al-Waleed bin Talal. The latter now owns 2.3 percent of Lyft which also received funding of $247.7 million from an unnamed group, eventually getting 5.3 percent stake of the company.
Earlier this month, Lyft filed a target to raise as much as $1 billion by placing 37 million shares at stake which the company has set at around $26.79 price point. The move, according to private market data company VC Experts, will eventually give Lyft a valuation of up to $4.9 billion.
Despite the new funding from a foreign source, Lyft will still be operating exclusively in the U.S. The company has made attempts to expand overseas by partnering with China owned Didi Kuadi.
Al-Waleed is a business magnate and global investor who owns and runs the Kingdom Holding Company, the firm behind the latest funding source for Lyft. Dubbed the "Arabian Warren Buffett" because of his huge business ventures, his company is said to have a market cap worth $18 billion. Some of his investments involve a number of industries such as real estate, technology, banking, media and hotels.
Prior to his deal with Lyft, Al-Waleed had successfully invested in a number technology companies such as AOL. His other business dealings involved owning stakes in Motorola, Twitter, Apple, Citigroup and News Corp.
Lyft's newly earned funding has a value that is still at a fraction compared to Uber's. The latter recently raised additional funding of up to $64.6 billion in value. Unlike Lyft, Uber has been aggressively expanding its services overseas which include the Saudi capital Riyadh.
Similar to Uber, Lyft also has its own pool of drivers who offer on-demand rides through its very own app. In a recently conducted survey, it was learned that majority of these drivers are newbies and would usually be driving for not more than 30 hours a week.
So far, Lyft's focus is more on foreign partnerships and gaining more funding opportunities. Apart from entering partnership with Didi Kuaidi, the largest ride-sharing service provider in China, the company had also been collaborating with other major local players around the globe.

Intel’s 14 nm Cherry Trail-T promises higher burst frequency, faster memory interface and support for more RAM. Will it be a Mullins and Beema killer?
Just before AMD announced the specs on its upcoming mobile APUs for 2014 — Beema and Mullins — VR-Zone obtained a leaked slide outlining some improvements in Intel’s mobile SoC for 2014 over this year’s Bay Trail-T.
First published by VR-Zone Chinese, this slide shows that Cherry Trail-T will have a 300 MHz boost (over the Atom Z3770) in its peak clock frequency, from 2.4 GHz to 2.7 Ghz, and will also support up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM with clock speeds up to 1600MHz.
Support for DDR4 won’t be available until 2015 when Intel releases Willow Trail.
Material on Cherry Trail seen by VR-Zone didn’t address the expected upgrades in the platform’s graphics architecture. With memory bandwidth upgrades and support for double the RAM as Bay Trail, Cherry Trail’s graphics performance will be a force to be reckoned with. More details on Cherry Trail’s graphics architecture, which may share similarities to Broadwell’s, are expected soon.
Cherry Trail will support Display Port 1.2 for video output as well as HDMI 1.4b. It will support up to 4K resolution, but ultimately that will depend on the device manufacturer.
While Intel will have the advantage as far as process node goes in 2014, this doesn’t necessarily translate into more design wins. It will be anyone’s game next year as far was chips-in-hardware goes, with both AMD and Intel having equal shots at this. Bay Trail has plenty of problems which could easily follow it to Cherry Trail, perhaps giving AMD an advantage this time around.

Apple's gone and turned good old PC/Mac representatives John Hodgman and Justin Long into claymation figures, just like the ones you remember from those sweet Rankin/Bass Christmas specials from back in the day. Sure, these ads are starting to wear a little thin, but this is pretty great. And I appreciate that Justin Long looks like even more of a dork in claymation form while John Hodgman just looks funnier and more likable. It just needs some Burl Ives and it would be perfect.

Samsung is one of the clear leaders in mobile display tech, and its screens are found in a wide range of flagship devices including its own Galaxy phones and those of its biggest competitors such as Apple. However, one of the biggest complaints about the Galaxy S9 is that looks virtually identical to last year’s device, a sentiment that arose largely due to the fact that Samsung didn’t do much to change up the S9's screen.

BOSTON (CBS) – CVS is trying something different to reach customers – vending machines.
The Woonsocket-based retailer is rolling out 25 CVS Pharmacy vending machines in New England and New York between now and October. They plan to eventually add another 50 vending machines across the country.
The vending machines will be stocked with more than 70 products, including over the counter medication, beauty products and toiletries, vitamins, first aid items, healthy snacks and drinks, plus home and office necessities.
The machines will be located at airports, office parks, college campuses and public transit stations like Boston’s South Station bus terminal.
“These machines enhance customer convenience with strategic placements in areas well-trafficked by local residents and travelers alike who may need products in a pinch, eliminating the need to make a special trip to a retail location,” CVS says.
Each vending machine will feature a high-resolution multi-touch screen and accept all major credit and debit cards.

Northern Virginia's economy is relatively strong, but the looming threat of sequestration has some shoppers nervous.
Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, holiday parties—it's an expensive time of year. According to the National Retail Federation's national holiday consumer spending survey (conducted by BIGinsight), the average holiday shopper will spend $749.51 on gifts, décor, holiday cards, entertaining and other things this season. That's a minor increase from $740.57 — the amount shoppers spent last year. Two-thirds of respondents to a recent poll by the NPD Group said they “plan to spend about the same” as last year, while 10 percent planned to “spend more.” Unlike other areas of the country, the fiscal cliff and sequestration are really on the minds of thousands of federal employees and government contractors.

A new study by ShopAdvisor shows there were very good deals on toys in 2011 on days other than Black Friday.
Big retailers including K-Mart, Walmart and Target have announced Black Friday deals available as early as Thanksgiving night in 2012. But ShopAdvisor, a deferred shopping vendor that connects consumers' initial interest in a product with their eventual purchase, found Black Friday sales are not the best of the holiday shopping season. "Our experience tracking more than a hundred million products shows that although Black Friday may be a good day for shopping, there are 'blacker' days to be found during the holiday shopping season," said Scott Cooper, CEO of ShopAdvisor on PR Newswire. According to the ShopAdvisor study: ShopAdvisor suggests holiday shoppers, "watch for sudden price drops and avoid price spikes that often last only a day …

Known as Lulzsec, the group has already launched one attack against Sony’s BMG website in Japan. And since its new-found place in the spotlight after this weekend’s PBS.org shenanigans, Lulzsec has been boasting about its plans to take Sony to task, warning that this was the “beginning of the end” for Sony.
The group’s latest anti-Sony campaign has been dubbed “Sownage,” which is short for Sony Ownage. And Lulzsec is keep its supporters — and Sony — up-to-date with its attacks on its Twitter feed.
“Hey @Sony, you know we’re making off with a bunch of your internal stuff right now and you haven’t even noticed?” LulzSec Tweeted late Tuesday. “Slow and steady, guys.”
Of course, this is far from the first time Sony has had to deal with hackers. The company is still recovering from a round of attacks carried out in the middle of April that left its PlayStation Network in shambles and the private information of around 100 million Sony customers at risk. On top of that, a variety of other Sony websites have been targeted by hackers, in one way or another.
Whoever carried out the attack on Sony’s PSN remains unknown, though the company suspects the perpetrators to be members of the notorious hacker group Anonymous, who, for its part, has firmly denied any involvement.
Lulzsec has so far distanced itself from anything having to do with Sony’s gaming sectors, and has instead chosen to focus on its music business. (Hence, the attack focusing on its BMG web properties.) The group has tried to calm gamers, saying on Twitter that they have no plans to target the PSN. But that doesn’t mean they can relate to Sony sympathizers.
“Keep on crying, Sony fanboys,” Lulzsec Tweeted. “Your tears create the sea and your whining creates the wind that we so gracefully use to traverse onward.”
So, what will come of their attacks against Sony? We’ll all just have to wait and see. Luckily, the group will surely let us know on Twitter as soon as it happens, whatever it is.

The lightest ultrabook in the world, Gigabyte x11 will be released in Taipei today. But prior to its release, some pictures of the ultrabook have leaked on the internet.
Despite the fact that the pictures of the ultrabook have leaked on the internet, there are no details about the specifications of the ultrabook. We will only know what the ultrabook has to offer in terms of specifications once it is officially launched today.
From what we can make out of the leak pictures, the ultrabook will have an 11.6 inch display screen and very few connection ports.
The leaked pictures of the Gigabyte x11 shows one USB port and a mini DisplayPort and of course a power connector. So far now, Gigabyte has managed to keep its creation, x11 under the radar but just prior to its release, the ultrabook’s pictures leaked on the internet.
However, Gigabyte had previously hinted one thing about the ultrabook, saying that the device has taken over the 6th element. We don’t know what that might be but sources suggest it might be referring to the fact that the ultrabook uses carbon fiber.
The pictures of the Gigabyte x11 were leaked by Pocket-lint, which has said that the ultrabook also has a headset jack and a microSD card slot. According to Pocket-lint, the lightest ultrabook also seems to be carrying an Intel Ivy Bridge processor.
The little details about the specifications that have been revealed so far by unofficial sources make the ultrabook an all rounder; it has decent specs, it is very portable and is the lightest ultrabook ever. However, other details about the specifications of the ultrabook aren’t known and we will know for sure when the Gigabyte x11 is officially launched in Taipei today. We’ll update you as soon as we hear more about the Gigabyte’s world’s lightest ultrabook.

Shop vac lowe, a barber shop open in Edinburgh, has opened in a converted garage in the capital.
Its owner, Mark McElreath, told the Scotsman: “It was originally a shop, I think it’s in Glasgow but I’m not sure.”
We thought it would be nice to open a shop in Edinburgh.
It was very easy to find the right location and it’s not far away from where we are now.
“It’s a small shop, it’s a pretty simple shop, so it’s been a great way to see Edinburgh.”
Mr McElath, who is based in Aberdeen, said that Edinburgh is a good place to grow a business and open a store.
He said: “We have a lot of small business people here, I’m just delighted to have opened a small business in Edinburgh.”
The business, which opened last month, is owned by Mark McElfath and his wife Mary, and opened in November.
The couple are currently in a contract with a nearby brewery to make the beer that will be sold at the shop.
The store also has an adjoining barbershop, and they hope to open their own barber salon in the near future.

From 1st July, Paris will officially ban pre 1997 cars from the city centre although classic cars registered over 30 years will still be able to drive the centre’s streets. The restrictions will limit entry for drivers between 8am and 8pm on weekdays and is expected to effect 10% of the capital’s cars. The French media has been quoted in saying that the restrictions will get tougher, and by 2020, only private cars registered after 2011 and motorcycles registered after July 2015 will be granted entry. A pro-driver campaign group has claimed that the new rules could see 3 million cars scrapped, partly thanks to a suggested government incentive, which could see customers receiving up to €10,000 for swapping their old diesel car into a new electric vehicle.
5 years ago Berlin took a similar approach to the French system by banning higher polluting cars, and Norway has set a target of 2025 to be fully electric. All this combined, it is clearly shown that electric cars are the future, but their is a lot of work to go before these cars become a common sight.

At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, small business owners braced for what seemed like a short-term inconvenience. But as the coronavirus pandemic drags on, many small businesses are still operating at limited capacity or have shuttered completely. The past months have been tough on everyone. We’ve been urged to stay away from our elderly family members and other loved ones, wear masks in public and social distance.
Governments have shut down bars and restaurants, limited gym use, postponed sporting activities, restricted hair salon and personal care services, and encouraged people to stay home. Then there’s the travel industry – everything from air travel to cruise ships are feeling the pain of consumers staying home. These actions have forced many establishments to lay off staff, and small restaurants and shops have been shuttered, not to mention that the entertainment industry has been all but decimated; concert venues and movie theaters continue to sit vacant. Mom and pop stores unable to transition to an online platform are closing left and right. Ultimately, the economic impact of these actions has devastated small business.
According to a recent Yelp study, almost 100,000 small businesses in the U.S. have closed permanently since the pandemic began.
Local and National Economic Outlook
In Washington, the lack of progress on another stimulus package has forced small business owners to dig deeper into their own pockets to pay essential bills like rent, utilities, and healthcare. Over $300 billion in small business loans have been deployed via the Paycheck Protection Program, which continues to offer Economic Injury Disaster Loans, represented by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the SBA. Payroll Protection Program (PPP) funds kept many business’ doors open, but unfortunately, there are little to no operating funds left. The bottom line is the crisis has lasted longer than anyone anticipated and as state reopening plans keep changing or getting pushed back, businesses trying to survive are falling deeper into despair and debt.
The jobs situation is a mixed bag as well. Nationally, over 5.5 million people are unemployed, with daily unemployment claims exceeding 700,000 people. Unemployment in Michigan was 8.5% as of September 30, 20201. Clearly, the recovery has stalled and is potentially going backwards.
How Can Businesses Bounce Back?
What can small businesses who are struggling in the hardest hit industries do to bounce back? The ability to think outside the box is a tremendous benefit to businesses trying to keep their doors open and not fall into debt.
Let’s reflect on Michigan restaurants, for example. With indoor dining shut down again, many of them are getting especially creative by carving out new outdoor dining spaces – transforming parking lots and streets into gathering spaces for families who are tired of cooking or friends desperate to spend time together. Bars and restaurants have amped up takeout and delivery options and some have even received clearance to offer carryout cocktails, once illegal, but now an olive branch offered by the state to the suffering dining industry.
Remember, avoiding getting help only digs a deeper hole for a business in trouble. You may not like reaching out in a time of need to your lender, vendors, or tax authorities due to the fear of rejection, but you must overcome your embarrassment or pride if you want to save your business.
The good ones are both financial AND operational experts. Small business needs both an infusion of cash and a series of new processes to drive the business (see the questions about strategy above). It can be tough to reach out for help when funds are limited. However, it is worth the initial cost and will help you weather the storm and turn around your business. These professionals can find funding, work out payment plans, make operations more efficient and relieve stress on the business owner and employees. The turnaround professional can help fix your business and you can focus on running the day-to-day operations. Ask your accountant and lawyer to help you find the right turnaround professional for your business.

India has taken action against china and therefore 59 Chinese Apps has banned in india
India has just announced that 59 Chinese apps banned in India on June 29, 2020. The relationship between India and China seems to be deteriorating for some time now, which may be the reason why, India has banned Chinese apps?
It’s Digital Strike is not the surgical strike that India has used against China, it has 59 built-in Chinese apps mainly for famous apps like Tiktok, Helo App, ShareiT and Baidu.
Why, indian government has banned chinese app?
The government of India says that we are giving such a permission to this familiar chinese app that they use our data that our data goes to them which is not good for anyone. Because all of our personal data goes to China’s servers and all of that data can be used by China in its own way, the Indian government is now trying to use its own country’s apps and products.
Although all the popular apps appear on your Android mobile or iPhone and run on your device, you can also find these apps in Playstore or App Store, but gradually all these apps are disappearing from India after some time. Later, the apps on your mobile will not work either.
And then all the apps are not available on Playstore or App Store and gradually the Indian government sends legal notices to India’s telecom companies like Jio, Vodafone, Idea and all these telecom companies. They start doing it. And all the internet companies and telecom companies will banned these apps from their own servers. This means that you will not receive an Internet service for those apps.

All of the above are 59 apps banned by India Government that we can no longer use and if you were used to make some money using these apps, this is bad news for you. You will be no longer access to these listed app.
But in parallel, there are many apps in India that offer the same kind of service and i features, and in the future there will be more valuable apps will be created from which you can do the same things that you used to do from the Chinese Apps. And in a way it has also created a new opportunity for you, us and India,
Where we can make India prosperous and self-reliant by making similar apps. And it benefits Google’s products somewhere.
Addition there are so many apps from China still which we using in our daily life like voice Changer app which take away our phone call data, fake messaging apps, prank apps there are so many apps which need to be banned by the Government if India.
Tiktok Banned in India
This is true where we hear 59 Chinese apps including Tiktok Banned in india as we know, there are many tiktok users in india and from which the company making tiktok apps is making a lot of money from us and also misusing our personal data. Which is not good for us or anyone.
In many other countries, including India, we see popular apps like tiktok, Shareit, UC Browser, Hello App and We chat, which we use on a daily basis, and these Chinese companies seem to have a lot benefits.
And now the government of India has banned many popular apps like tiktok in India which can be a sad thing for some users because tiktok is very popular in many countries including India and tiktok is very popular among the common people. Given the opportunity to show off their skills and a distinct identity as well as the opportunity to earn a lot of money for users.
Is PUBG Mobile also got banned in India?
To date, there has been no official news and announcements from the Indian government that PUBG Mobile has been banned because we know that even though Pugb Mobile is made by China, it also has partnerships with Pugb, South Korea and other Korean countries.
There has been no official announcement so, for now you don’t have to worry about this in fact you can find out PUBG MOBILE on Google playstore as similar in App store.

Polyolefin Resins Market is Estimated to Witness High Growth Owing to Increasing Demand from Packaging Industry
The Polyolefin Resins Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 255.82 Bn or Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Polyolefin resins are thermoplastic polymers used primarily in packaging applications. Polyolefin resins have properties like sturdiness, transparency, recyclability and resistance to chemicals which make them an ideal material for flexible and rigid packaging of food and non-food items. The demand for polyolefin resins in applications such as bags, bottles, containers and wraps are increasing owing to the need for packaging materials that maintain freshness and quality of products during transport and storage.
Market key trends:
One of the major trends driving the polyolefin resins market growth is increasing demand from flexible packaging industry. According to a recent study, flexible plastic packaging is estimated to account for over 55% of total plastic packaging demand globally by 2025. Properties of polyolefin resins like lightweight and durability make them suitable for flexible packaging formats such as stand-up pouches, wrap films and bags which are increasingly being used for food, beverages and other consumer products. Another factor fueling the demand is favorable regulations in Europe and North America regarding use of recyclable and eco-friendly plastics in packaging. Polyolefin resins have high recyclability and are gradually replacing commodity plastics like PVC and polystyrene in rigid packaging applications due to stringent regulations.
Threat of new entrants: New entrants face high capital requirements for setting up manufacturing facilities which acts as a barrier. Bargaining power of buyers: Large downstream buyers have significant bargaining power due to the presence of several manufacturers. Bargaining power of suppliers: Commodity nature of raw materials limits suppliers bargaining power. Threat of new substitutes: Potential threat from substitutes like plastic and paper & paperboard. Competitive rivalry: Intense competition among existing players limits their pricing flexibility.
Strength: Wide applications in packaging, consumer goods, automobile industries. Weakness: Vulnerable to fluctuations in raw material prices and regulatory policies. Opportunity: Growing demand from end-use industries like packaging and construction. Threats: Stringent environmental regulations and increasing preference for substitutes.
The global Polyolefin Resins Market is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period, due to increasing demand from packaging industry. The Asia Pacific dominates the global market and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period. China accounts for the largest share in Asia Pacific owing to presence of domestic manufacturers.
Key players operating in the polyolefin resins market are China Petrochemical Corporation, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., PetroChina Company Limited, TotalEnergies, Chevron Corporation, Repsol, and Dow, Inc.

Food trends for 2015, Asheville-style
ASHEVILLE – Last year, we wrote about the growing popularity of cauliflower. Clearly it was not hard-hitting news, but let it be known that we accurately predicted the rise of cauliflower a full year before Earthbound Farm did.
According to Stacy Baas, brand strategist and official trends watcher at Earthbound, the country’s largest provider of organic produce, kale is out and cauliflower is ready to rule.
Here are more of Earthbound Farm-predicted vegetable-centric trends — and how to enjoy them locally, too.
Cauliflower has become a go-to gluten-free staple, with cauliflower-crust pizza and cauliflower mac-and-cheese entering the market, according to Bass. Locally, cauliflower gets deep-fried and coated in spicy sauce over at Isa’s Bistro (1 Battery Park Ave.), and is served in a cheesy gratin at Cucina 24 (24 Wall St.). Tupelo Honey (downtown and Hendersonville Road) has cheesy mashed cauliflower and The Market Place (20 Wall St.) serves it roasted with green curry sauce and a fennel-cashew salad.
Healthy snacks are in
According to the NPD Group, a consumer market research group, more than half of U.S. consumers snack 2-3 times a day. And snack makers are responding to an uptick in healthy eating; 7 out of 10 new snack foods launched last year were marketed as “healthy.”
Here in Asheville, Tod’s Tasties (102 Montford Ave.) makes snacks a priority, with a number of bites less than $5, including tater tots, fries, side salads and a daily lunch snack special, which can be anything from a bagel with hummus to a fried egg with chips and guacamole. Healthy snacks can also be found at Rosetta’s Kitchen, where you can grab cornbread and greens for $5.
Bold is big
People are embracing big, bold flavors, and exotic flavor profiles for 2015. Tap into that trend by trying Addissae, an Ethiopian restaurant that opened in downtown Asheville this month, which has bold all over the menu. Addissae is at 48 Commerce St.
Some of the boldest flavors in Asheville can be found at Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack, where the hottest of the hot chicken is dusted with a spice coating that includes ghost peppers, which are among the hottest peppers on the planet. Rocky’s is at 1455 Patton Ave. and 3749 Sweeten Creek Road.
Conscious consumers see protein-packed foods as an essential part of their active lifestyle and diet, but increasing health concerns mean people are turning toward more plant-based proteins. Those include tempeh, chickpeas, chia seeds and almonds.
Get your plant power on by visiting any number of vegetarian restaurants in Asheville. Plant, Asheville’s only all-vegan restaurant, serves dinner and brunch at 165 Merrimon Ave. with a menu that includes “live” lasagna and curried tofu. And the ever-popular Laughing Seed is still doing its vegetarian thing at 40 Wall St. with dishes like the protein-packed tempeh “Cuban” sandwich.
Earthbound Farm says guys are taking care of business more and more in the kitchen, partially due to the prevalence of dual-income households. That translates to 51 percent of men claiming to be the primary grocery shopper for their households. Interestingly enough, men are more likely to plan meals for the week ahead of time.
Men’s Health magazine has developed a cooking school for guys. We’re not aware of any such male-centric cooking classes, but Dough, the market and cooking-class center at 372 Merrimon Ave., offers loads of informational courses covering everything from pasta-making to sushi-rolling. Note that Dough, the market, is closed for renovations through January, though the classes will continue in the teaching kitchen. Call

If the luxury customer has pulled back on spending, it wasn’t obvious at Polo Ralph Lauren Corp., which on Wednesday posted a second-quarter profit gain of 39.6 percent, beating analysts’ estimates by 33 cents.
Polo said income for the quarter ended Sept. 27 rose to $161 million, or $1.58 a diluted share, from $115.3 million, or $1.09, in the same year-ago period. The quarter’s results were boosted by an increase in sales at the company’s off-price factory stores and higher European wholesale sales. Total revenues gained 10 percent to $1.43 billion from $1.3 billion. Revenues include a 9.6 percent increase in wholesale sales to $846.2 million and an 11.9 percent gain in retail sales.
At retail, total comparable-store sales rose 5.1 percent, which included an increase of 0.3 percent at Ralph Lauren stores and 8.2 percent at factory stores, and a 3.7 percent decline at Club Monaco stores. In addition, ralphlauren.com sales increased 31 percent, boosted by double-digit gains in all major categories, the company said. The balance in revenues was from licensing income.
For the six months, income jumped 25.8 percent to $256.2 million, or $2.51 a diluted share, from $203.6 million, or $1.92, in the same prior-year period. Total revenues rose by 7.3 percent to $2.54 billion from $2.37 billion.
“Our strong performance for the first six months of the year confirms that we are on the right strategic course,” said Ralph Lauren, chairman and chief executive officer.
“While global uncertainty is a reality that we will likely be living with for some time, the desirability of our brand and products continues to expand worldwide. Our business has endured through good times and bad over the last 40 years and we’ve always emerged stronger from any challenge,” the ceo added.
President and chief operating officer Roger Farah told Wall Street analysts during a conference call, “We are pleased to be reporting strong second-quarter results that exceeded our expectations….And finally we have a solid strategy to grow shareholder value over the long term.”
Farah explained that the strategy, focused on elevating the Ralph Lauren brand, is three pronged: the growth of the company’s international presence; direct-to-consumer expansion, and new merchandise development and product innovation.
And, while the European business grew nicely in the quarter — it has grown fivefold to more than $1 billion during the last six to seven years — at both the wholesale and retail channels, the company will next take those European growth strategies to Japan. The firm last year assumed direct control of its Japanese men’s, women’s and jeans product, and in August, its children’s and golf apparel, giving Polo control over the majority of the Japanese product categories. While before, Japan was heavily skewed toward men’s casual sportswear, the acquisition of former licensing operations allows the apparel firm to introduce new labels and focus on the points of distribution. The firm is training its Japanese employees and plans to expand the number of Japanese doors. In addition, next year the company will source product for Japan through its own global manufacturing network instead of through third-party trading firms.
During an interview, Farah said the certainty of having the election process completed is a “positive” for consumers, given that it is one less thing for shoppers to worry about. However, that isn’t going to change holiday plans at the company’s stores.
“The holiday period from Thanksgiving through Christmas is mostly gift giving and consumers buying for themselves. I think gift giving will be pretty decent. [We are planning] key items for gift giving featuring great product in multiple colors….The business may come under some pressure where consumers are buying for themselves,” Farah said.
The Polo president added that the company is not planning any adjustments to opening price points or on product or pricing that would be considered a “trade down.” If anything, the company will offer more unique or unusual items that might not be available elsewhere.
As for the comps decrease at Club Monaco, Farah attributed that to the reluctance to spend by the female shopper. The women’s categories represent 65 percent of sales at the chain. Going forward, the chain will feature more accessories and Polo will focus on the expansion of Club Monaco stores overseas, particularly in Asia.
The company expects a low-single-digit increase in net revenues during fiscal 2009, and reaffirmed estimated diluted earnings per share at between $4 and $4.10.

The search for the first groceries code adjudicator is underway.
The Department for Business Innovation & Skills is running job ads for the role, which has a pro-rata salary of £98,000-£120,000 for a three day week - the same working week as the chairman of the Office of Fair Trading.
A spokesman for BIS told The Grocer it was keen to receive applications from “anyone with experience in retail, the supply or the farming industry who understands the relationship between retailers and direct suppliers”.
Mediation skills would also be key, he added, and the successful candidate would need to be “objective” and “effectively manage the relationship between retailers and suppliers”.
However, lawyers warned that appointing an adjudicator with industry experience who wasn’t closely aligned to either retail or the supply chain would be a challenge.
The job description suggested BIS could be interested in an objective adjudicator from outside the industry altogether, said Rona Bar-Isaac, a lawyer at Addleshaw Goddard, who specialises in advising clients on the Groceries Supply Code of Practice.
“The job description talks about retail experience being desirable but not essential,” she said. “The focus is on mediation and dispute resolution. The wording is almost appealing for a former litigator - and I am not sure that is the best fit for this role.”
BIS confirmed the adjudicator would be supported by a deputy adjudicator and a team of up to 10 civil servants from BIS and possibly Defra. They are expected to be full-time positions.
A shadow organisation is expected to be in place by January. Subject to parliamentary process, the Groceries Code Adjudicator will be up and running by April next year.

Microsoft’s PC Manager app, which is meant to enhance user experience on Windows 10 and 11 systems, is now available for download from the Microsoft Store. It is available on Windows 10 and 11 (x64 and ARM).
For those unaware, the PC Manager app, developed by Microsoft China, was released as a free tool back in 2022 as a preview for only select regions.
The app, which is similar to CCleaner, was officially launched in January 2024 and is now widely available for more regions, including the U.S., in English and Chinese language options.
“Microsoft PC Manager is an officially launched desktop security tool aimed at global users,” the company writes on its Store.
“It integrates Windows antivirus engine, comprehensively building a computer protection system. Microsoft PC Manager adheres to the four product concepts of simplicity, fluency, close to native, efficient and secure, and pure without disturbance. Based on user pain points, it provides a one-stop computer problem-solving solution, addressing issues such as malicious system tampering, insufficient computer space, system lag, and excessive pop-up ads, creating a native Windows system experience for users.”
The app offers one-click solution for system optimization, including a RAM usage manager, cleaning up of junk files, OS troubleshooting, anti-virus protection via Microsoft Defender, pop-up blocker for Windows apps, and more.
Besides its primary functions, the PC Manager app also introduces a floating toolbar that allows you to instantly access to boost your PC or launch other tools. These include:
- PC Boost: PC Manager can boost your PC’s performance by cleaning up your system and freeing up space.
- Storage Management: It can give your PC a spring cleaning and manage large files.

- Health Check: With one click, it can find and fix issues quickly, as well as scan and clear threats.
- Toolbox: It is smarter and more efficient, as it understands your needs better.
Please note that the virus scanning function in Microsoft PC Manager depends on Windows Defender, which means the virus scanning function cannot be used if Windows Defender is not installed in the system.
For those interested in downloading the Microsoft PC Manager app can go to the Microsoft Store here.

We'd already heard whispers about AMD's Bulldozer-based Zambezi processors starting to ship in the third week of June. Now, both Expreview and DonanimHaber have revealed a launch date: June 11. Expreview vaguely mentions confirmation, while DonanimHaber cites motherboard maker roadmaps as its source for the news.
DonanimHaber adds that the processors will be accompanied by new motherboards with 9-series chipsets. So, presumably, those Socket AM3+ Asus motherboards with existing 880G, 870, and 760G chipsets we talked about yesterday will be joined by fresher, more exciting models. Expreview echoes the details that came to light earlier this week, mentioning eight-, six-, and quad-core desktop processors with FX-8000, FX-6000, and FX-4000 model numbers, respectively.
Whatever the exact release date turns out to be, it looks like the debut of AMD's Bulldozer microarchitecture is drawing close. This will be AMD's real answer to Sandy Bridge—a brand-new, state-of-the-art microarchitecture implemented on 32-nm process technology. Be sure to check out our overview of the Bulldozer design for more details.

Walmart China CEO quits after organic pork scandal
American retailer Walmart announced yesterday that Ed Chan, head of the company’s stores in China, had resigned “for personal reasons”. The resignation comes a week after the supermarket chain got into trouble with the Chinese authorities over ‘organic’ labelling of regular pork.
Scott Price, president and CEO of Walmart Asia, will serve as interim leader for Walmart China until Chan is replaced. The company said it “appreciated Chan’s close to five years of service”, and added that senior vice-president of human resources Clara Wong had also resigned.
Last week, Walmart was forced to close a dozen of its stores in the country to investigate allegations that pork labelled ‘organic’ was in fact regular pork. The Chinese authorities have arrested two employees, and detained 37 others over the case.
The retailer recently celebrated its 15-year anniversary in China, and has 353 stores in 130 cities.

Freshfel Europe & members launch Environmental Footprint Initiative for supply chain
The launch of the Freshfel Environmental Footprint Initiative with leading members from the Association marks a new level of cooperation on this complex and technical subject within the fresh produce sector. With participating members from right across the supply chain from Europe and beyond, the Initiative will reflect the needs of the entire supply chain from producers to consumers.
The objective of the Freshfel Environmental Footprint Initiative is to develop an objective, standardized environmental footprint methodology, database and digital tool for the fresh produce sector that is broadly accepted by the industry, stakeholders as well as consumers. Until now efforts within the sector to address product sustainability through environmental footprint have been highly fragmented. Over the past year Freshfel Europe’s Working Group on Environmental Footprint has investigated individual efforts throughout the sector and further afield to best understand the sector landscape and where gaps in environmental footprint knowledge and tools lie. This has culminated in the launch of the Initiative with a group of leading sector members to develop a standardised environmental footprint methodology and digital tool from which the sector at large may benefit.
The Initiative will align with the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology as recommended by the EU. The PEF methodology is likely to be employed by the European Commission in upcoming legislation impacting the fresh produce sector on substantiating green claims and a harmonised EU sustainability labelling framework for food among others. Category rules specific to the fruit and vegetables sector will be developed ensuring comparable results of PEF calculations.
The initiative is a milestone in sector cooperation on sustainability matters. Freshfel Europe Director Sustainability and Health Nicola Pisano said: “Freshfel Europe with its extensive membership spanning the entire supply chain from producers to retailers is best placed to act as the platform for the Initiative’s work. The Association is facilitating collaboration between 14 of its leading members to develop an objective and standardised environmental footprint methodology and accompanying digital tool for the fresh produce sector at large.”

North Carolina strawberry yields could be up to three times larger than usual in May.
Thanks in part to a late start, fruit that normally would be spread out is coming off at once, Barclay Poling, executive director of the Raleigh-based North Carolina Strawberry Association, said in a news release.
“It’s shaping up to be a great crop, but it is posing major challenges for our state’s farmers,” Poling said. “The plants are absolutely loaded with fruit, and what we’re beginning to see in the eastern part of the state, where the season starts first, is that the berries are ripening all at once rather than gradually over a period of time.”
By mid-May, North Carolina growers could be producing 5,000 to 6,000 pounds of strawberries per acre per week, up from a normal yield for that time of year of 2,000 pounds per acre, Poling said.
To help move all that fruit, the association is sponsoring a promotion, “Short & Sweet Strawberry Share 2014,” in which growers are giving pick-your-own customers four buckets of strawberries for the price of three, and encouraging them to give the free bucket to a local food pantry, soup kitchen, daycare center, nursing home or other place or person of need.
“In a normal year, we couldn’t afford to give berries away but we’re going to lose berries,” Mitchell Wrenn, the association’s president, said in the release. “I’d rather give to someone in need, someone who is handicapped or in a nursing home, so they can enjoy these delicious berries. They just don’t compare to the ones you find in the grocery store. They have so much more flavor.”
Cooler temperatures have produced especially sweet fruit this season, Poling said.

I led design and direction for USA Today's flagship iPhone, Android, and iPad applications from 2008 to early 2011. During that time, USA Today's apps received millions of installs and regularly held the top spot in News. The apps were promoted in Apple advertisements and the Apple Store as well as featured in the App Store and Google Play Store.
USA Today iPhone was the first multi-purpose news app for iPhone, incorporating news, weather, sports scores, photo galleries, and Snapshot polls. It was the first major news app to incorporate Twitter sharing and many features and design decisions were imitated by other news organizations. In the 2009 Communication Arts Interactive Annual, judge Jason Ring proclaimed, "This app packs an impossible amount of fresh information into an elegant and intuitive experience."
USA Today Android received similar praise to its iPhone counterpart. Due to a lack of standards or guidelines, designing an Android app in 2009 was no easy task. Popular Android apps such as USA Today set the standards for early Android apps.
USA Today iPad was designed and developed in just six weeks and launched alongside the first iPad. It was praised as the best news app for iPad and finished 2010 as one of the top 25 most downloaded apps overall in the App Store. The app received numerous awards and recognitions, including Gannett's Innovator of the Year award and Ad Age's Media Vanguard award.

- IHOP introduced a limited-run, holiday menu inspired by “Dr. Seuss’ the Grinch,” the new film based on the holiday classic by Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures, which will debut in theaters on Nov. 9, according to a news release
- The restaurant chain is launching a TV spot, created in partnership with Droga5, that was inspired by a scene in the movie. The commercial opens in a police station during the holidays with a visibly shaken man, who had his Grinch’s Green Pancakes stolen. The spot will air nationally on TV, online and social media.
- Along with the green pancakes, the Grinch-inspired menu includes the Minty Who Hot Chocolate, Who-Roast Beast Omelette, Whoville Holiday Cheesecake French Toast and Mt. Crumpit Kids Combo. The items are available through Dec. 31.
IHOP’s new Grinch-inspired menu, with green pancakes and green whipped cream-topped hot chocolate, and partnership with the latest film featuring the iconic holiday character will likely help the brand heighten social media attention, attract families and drive sales around the holidays. IHOP has created themed menus in partnership with film studios for other Dr. Seuss film releases, including “The Lorax” in 2012 and “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!” in 2008.
Quirky, limited-run menu items are popular with restaurant and fast food chains as a way to stand out and attract younger diners, especially Gen Zers, who are 20% more likely to visit fast-food restaurants compared to older generations, according to Carat and Foursquare research. For Halloween, Burger King unveiled the Nightmare King, which features a green bun and is “clinically proven” to incite nightmares in those who eat the burger, as well as the Frozen Fanta Scary Black Cherry drink.
Kicking off the holiday-themed campaign ahead of Halloween could be a win for IHOP. A recent AdRoll study revealed that holiday ad campaigns that begin in October have a 7% increase in ad impressions, a 12% drop in cost-per-click and a 20% decrease in cost per thousand impressions compared to other months during the holiday season.
IHOP is likely hoping to build on the success of its summer marketing push, when the brand changed its name to IHOb, with the “b” standing for burgers. The promotion for Ultimate Steakburgers included a temporary logo change online and at some physical locations, and led to more than 20,000 media stories, 36 billion earned media impressions and 4 billion people reached on social media. Burger sales at the restaurant also grew 4x, and drove “dinner day part sales mix” by 200 points during the three-week campaign.

Agro-forestry-fishery exports stood at about US$49.04 billion in the first 11 months of 2022, higher than last year’s record of US$48.6 billion, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) said.
The 11-month export rose 11.8% year on year while imports increased 6.9% to some US$41.22 billion, resulting in a surplus of US$7.82 billion– up 47.8%.
That made up a total trade of US$90.26 billion, rising 9.5% year on year, statistics show.
Between January and November, key agricultural products brought home more than US$20.73 billion, up 6.6%; main forestry products US$15.59 billion, up 8.2%; fishery products US$10.14 billion, up 27%; and animal farming US$361.4 million, down 8.4%.
So far, the agricultural sector has seen eight products and groups of products with export value of over US$2 billion each, namely coffee, rubber, rice, vegetables and fruit, cashew nut, shrimp, tra fish, and wood products.
Asian markets accounted for 44.7% of Vietnam’s total exports, Americas 27.4%, Europe 11.3%, Oceania 1.7%, and Africa 1.7%.
The US remains the biggest buyer of Vietnamese goods, with US$12.3 billion, making up 25% of total shipments. It is followed by China (US$9.3 billion, 18.9%) and Japan (US$3.9 billion, 7.9%).
The MARD said agro-forestry-fishery imports are estimated at over US$41.22 billion during 11 months, increasing 6.9% from a year earlier.
That includes more than US$25.21 billion worth of key farm produce, up 3.9%; US$2.5 billion of fishery products, up 39.7%; US$2.89 billion of forestry products, up 4%; and over US$3 billion of animal products, down 3.2%.

Asia Pacific airlines enjoy robust passenger traffic; cargo weak
Monday, 7 October 2013 00:00
Preliminary traffic figures from the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) for the month of August 2013 show further robust growth in international passenger traffic, but continued weakness in air cargo markets.
Asia Pacific airlines carried a combined total of 20.1 million international passengers in August, an encouraging 8.7% increase compared to the same month last year, boosted by relatively strong demand for regional travel. International passenger traffic, in revenue passenger kilometre (RPK) terms, grew by 8.0%.
Combined with a 5.5% expansion in available seat capacity, the average international passenger load factor increased by 1.9 percentage points to 82.3% for the month.
Air freight markets remained soft in August, as a result of sluggish global trading conditions. International air cargo demand, expressed in freight tonne kilometre (FTK) terms, was just 0.3% higher in August compared to the same month last year.
Offered freight capacity increased by 2.8%, leading to a 1.6 percentage point fall in the average international freight load factor to 63.1% for the month.
Commenting on the results, AAPA Director General Andrew Herdman said: “For Asia Pacific airlines, international passenger demand has maintained its strong growth trend, with a combined total of 145.5 million international passengers carried during the first eight months of the year, a 5.2% increase compared to the same period last year.
“Underpinned by sustained regional economic growth, we have seen significant increases in both business and leisure travel. On the other hand, air freight markets have been persistently soft, with a 1.7% fall in air freight demand during the first eight months of the year, as a result of lacklustre trade growth and relatively weak markets for electronic products and other high value goods normally shipped by air.
“There are some signs that the slump in air cargo experienced over the past couple of years may be bottoming out, at least in volume terms, but surplus cargo capacity will continue to exert downward pressure on rates. Overall, Asian airlines are focusing on further growth opportunities, but still face very challenging business conditions.”

North Warwickshire-based agency Wyndham-Leigh has unveiled its latest TV ad promoting DVLA personalised registrations.
Called Transformation, the 30-second advert uses a series of vehicles parked outside their owners’ homes set against the sound of computer keyboards being tapped.
Towards the end of each scene and on cue with each concluding keyboard tap the vehicles’ number plates metamorphisise into personalised registrations.
The concluding scene, which reveals a woman sitting at her computer viewed from in front of her car, confirms the connection with buying online.
The campaign, which starts this week and runs for one month across terrestrial and satellite channels, coincides with the launch of a new website supporting online purchasing, designed and managed by WL Digital, Wyndham-Leigh’s digital arm.
Wyndham-Leigh managing partner Justin Fisher said: “Personalised registrations are about individualism and self expression.
“Our research shows that people like to engage with the product in their own way and associate it positively with their lifestyles.
‘‘Transformation is designed to help this process.”

Smartphones are steadily becoming the one-stop destination that most users seek whenever they have a query. Be it questions, bookings, chats or calls, the smartphone culture has really picked up. Now, the user-friendly nature of the smartphone is likely to go to the next level: serving as a “universal remote” for our homes.
Benki, which launched its Kickstarter campaign on Sunday, wants to push mobile gadgets further. Kickstarter is basically a crowdfunding platform for creative endeavours, which was founded in April 2009. Using this platform, the makers of Benki want to raise money to come up with devices that will unite home devices via one user interface.
This will be done using three things – a mobile gadget, a battery-powered camera and a sensor for doors and windows that will help you open and close them. All three devices seem to work independent of the other, though. Thus, it may be possible for users to pick up the solution of their choosing, depending on the makers.
Benki lets you control your home appliances using a smartphone (image credit: Benki)
The minds behind Benki basically want you to use your smartphones to turn appliances on and off. This is a step further from just gathering data and monitoring the usage of your devices. Benki essentially functions as a connector for your devices; it is controlled via an app that can be installed on either an iOS or Android device and can tell you what your connected devices are up to, no matter where you might be at the time.
According to the makers, the “smart outlet” can control your plugged-in appliances via a smartphone remotely. Add-on features that Benki will come with include a temperature sensor as well as a light sensor and microphone. With these variations, the uses seem varied, including being able to switch your lights off and on with a voice command. The makers have also said that Benki can serve as an efficient baby monitor. The app will also allow you to track the amount of power your appliances are using over time.
The second Benki solution uses an integrated battery-powered camera to give you a bird’s eye view on what is happening in the area of your home where it is set up, through the day. Security-wise, the open-and-close sensor is the third Benki solution that will allow you to know if and when your door, cupboard or windows are opened.
As a Kickstarter project, Benki has been able to raise $20,000 so far. This is still a fraction of the $220,000 that Benki is aiming at. However, backers have until July 4 to show their support. According to the site, backers who come in early can walk away with all three Benki devices for just $180 (Rs 10300 approx).
