China’s swift reopening for business in January after nearly three years of coronavirus controls is providing a much-needed boost for RX customers seeking to re-establish connections and source new business in the world’s second largest economy – and for Chinese companies eager to boost exports and compete again on the world stage. We share some impressive customer numbers and feedback and look forward to some exciting new upcoming events.
With its strong global sales network and international marketing competency, RX is also committed to assisting China-based enterprises to restore international trade and enter key overseas markets.
“The reaction of China based businesses to the lifting of restrictions was immediate with companies rushing back to overseas markets to reconnect with their business partners. “All the space allocated for Chinese business in RX shows for the first half of the year was sold out, not just in Europe and the US but as far afield as Brazil, where Feicon and Automec, serving the building & construction and automotive industries respectively, were particularly well supported. Chinese business has also returned to pre-pandemic levels in Japan with more sales in the first half of 2023 than in the same period in 2019.”
RX is also taking its Chinese event brands overseas to help China-based exporters accelerate business expansion in ASEAN markets. Recent launches include AMTS Indonesia, modelled on the flagship AMTS in Shanghai, which made its debut in Jakarta from 14-15 March 2023 targeting Indonesia’s burgeoning automotive manufacturing industry. And in November, ASEAN’s packaging industry will receive a huge boost with the launch of WEPACK ASEAN in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, reflecting the successful format of WEPACK, the World Packing Industry Expo in Shanghai, covering the entire global packaging industry chain.
Earlier this year, during a visit to China, RX CEO Hugh Jones demonstrated the company’s confidence in the Chinese market, and the opportunities for customers in key growth sectors, by announcing five new events, and the opening of a new office Shenzhen.
The new events include Automotive World China, Shenzhen (11-13 October 2023) focused on intelligent and connected vehicles and new energy technology; CDA-South in Guangzhou (22-24 September 2023), a new edition of the China Daily-Use Articles Trade Fair targeting the department store sourcing market in southern China; DPrint (12-14 July), co-located with WEPACK in Shanghai; and IFEX China, the international flower and garden expo in Kunming (15-17 September 2023).
“Given China's growing middle-income earners, increasing disposable incomes and demand for more sophisticated daily necessities, businesses from sectors such as packaging, healthcare and smart manufacturing will see surging demand to participate in various trade shows to win more clients in the coming years” explained Jones.
“Establishing a wholly owned RX exhibition company in Shenzhen will enable us to vigorously develop our business in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which is actively investing in semiconductors, ultra-high-definition video displays, smart terminals, intelligent connected cars, new materials, high-end medical care and health care ̶ all sectors that RX is committed to building business in” he added.
“As a special economic zone, Shenzhen is becoming easier for international exhibitors and visitors to enter and exit the city. And Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Centre is one of the best venues in the world, with excellent sustainability credentials – a key consideration on our journey to become net zero by 2040.”

The R-C Morning Report for Aug. 27
August 27, 2014
A tent should be out in front of the Gardnerville Walmart already this morning and Thursday welcoming Burners to Nevada with swag. The Nevada Commission on Tourism is setting up what they call Hallelujah stations here and on Interstate 80.
If the bottled water situation at Gardnerville stores is any indication, Burners have already been through town on their way to the Playa.
It will be sunny with a high to 88 degrees, but I've heard people say that it feels like fall, and I agree. We'll see it warm up the rest of the week before it cools down again on Sunday.

- Global financial technology company Circle announced it entered into a definitive business combination with Concord Acquisition Corp (NYSE: CND) in a deal with an enterprise value of $4.5 billion. These are the details.
Circle — a global financial technology firm that provides payments and treasury infrastructure for internet businesses — announced it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Concord Acquisition Corp (NYSE: CND), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Under the terms of the deal, a new Irish holding company will acquire both Concord and Circle and become a publicly-traded company, expected to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “CRCL.” The deal values Circle at an enterprise value of $4.5 billion.
Circle is on a mission of raising global economic prosperity through the frictionless exchange of financial value is being met through a series of internet-native, digital currency powered, transaction, and treasury services that help businesses and financial institutions globally to take advantage of the shift to a digital currency and blockchain powered global financial system. And Circle is the principal operator of the fastest growing dollar digital currency USD Coin (USDC) — which has grown to more than $25 billion in circulation and has supported more than $785 billion in on-chain transactions. This year, USDC in circulation has grown in excess of 3400%, fueling a broadening array of use cases for high-trust, low-friction internet-native payments and settlements.
The business combination is supported by $415 million of capital commitments at $10 per share with participation from top-tier institutional investors including Marshall Wace LLP, Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC, Adage Capital Management LP, accounts advised by ARK Investment Management LLC, and Third Point. Including the contribution of up to $276 million of cash held in Concord Acquisition Corp’s trust account (assuming no redemptions), the transaction is expected to deliver up to $691 million of gross proceeds to the combined company.
Upon the completion of the deal, existing Circle shareholders will maintain approximately 86% ownership interest in the combined company. And proceeds of the transaction will support Circle’s continued growth through ongoing product development in close collaboration with its initial customers. The existing Circle equity holders have the potential to receive an earnout of additional shares of the company, if certain stock price targets are met as set forth in the definitive business combination agreement. The current shareholders of Concord will also become shareholders of the company and will exchange their shares of Concord common stock for equity of the company on a share for share basis.
The deal — which has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both Concord Acquisition Corp and Circle, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021 — is subject to approval by shareholders of Concord and Circle and other customary closing conditions, including any applicable regulatory approvals.
“Circle is the true pioneer of trusted digital currencies, an increasingly critical part of the global financial system. The firm has earned its exceptionally strong reputation building highly innovative blockchain-enabled products and services within the regulatory perimeter. Circle’s world-class leadership team, its track record of delivery, and extraordinary ambition help position the firm as one of the most exciting companies in the transformation of finance.”
— Bob Diamond, Chairman of Concord Acquisition Corp and CEO of Atlas Merchant Capital
“Circle was founded with a mission to transform the global economic system through the power of digital currencies and the open internet. We’ve made huge strides towards realizing this vision, and through this strategic transaction and ultimate public debut, we are taking an even bigger step forward, with the capital and relationships needed to build a global-scale internet financial services company that can help businesses everywhere to connect into a more open, inclusive and effective global economic system. We are thrilled to partner with Concord’s executive and investment team, drawing on their decades of operating experience growing financial services businesses around the world.”
— Jeremy Allaire, Circle’s co-founder and CEO

The SVOD and PayTV Series reveals rare details about licensing rates at Netflix and Starz (now Lionsgate), including, subscribers, usage, availability, release windows, and more.
After decades of stifling innovation and blocking new content delivery models, cable companies are paying a hefty price that shows no sign of stopping.
In Q4 2016, 77% of respondents would only like to pay for the channels they watch, up 3% y-o-y. Pricing expectations are in contrast to what they are paying.
With increased competition from Netflix and Amazon, Canal+ lost a half of million subscribers in France during 2016.

The damage caused by fraud in payment transactions as a result of phishing and bank card fraud increased by about one third in the first half of the year.
Banks have been noticing a lot of reports from customers about phishing via mobile messaging services such as SMS, WhatsApp and Messenger. In the first half of the year, bank customers went phishing to security codes for a total of around 2.66 million pounds. The Dutch Payments Association and the Dutch Banking Association (NVB) report this.
In the vast majority of cases, people are compensated for the damage by their banks. Only if they have been “grossly negligent” do banks usually refuse this.
Almost twice as many reports have been received about phishing via mobile messaging services as about phishing via e-mail. The attempt to fraud often starts on a trading platform such as Marktplaats or Speurders, according to the organizations. Then the criminals try to lure people with an excuse and a hyperlink via, for example, WhatsApp to a fake website.

Samsung’s curved OLED display mobile phone is finally official. The name is Galaxy Round, which will be available in South Korea market from October 10th for $1013.
As we covered last month, Samsung’s head of mobile business marketing, Mr. Lee, announced they are planning to launch a mobile phone with a curved display in October, but gave no specifics on the display. Now here is the spec,
Figure. Samsung Galaxy Round curved phone spec
Source: Samsung and Touch Display Research Inc.
Touch Display Research believes that the curved OLED display Samsung used on Galaxy Round mobile phone might be glass substrate, not plastic. Samsung has registered the trade mark “YOUM” for its plastic AMOLED. But Samsung didn’t mention “YOUM” in its announcement, and didn’t mention “unbreakable” either. Thus we believe the Galaxy Round is using glass substrate.
Touch Display Research believes the eco-system for flexible and curved displays is maturing. We forecast that the flexible and curved display market will reach $27 Billion by 2023, which is about 16% market share of the global display revenue in 2023. More analysis of curved display and curved touch panel can be found in our newly published Flexible and Curved Display Technologies and Market Forecast 2013 report.

– Ice universe (n Universe ice) February 23, 2021
SAMSUNG 50MP ISOCELL GN2 Sensor: What’s so special about it?
Samsung 50MP Isocell GN2 Sensor Massive upgrades and offers for the ISOCELL GN1 are faster and better than before. Its dual pixel Pro Tech claims to reduce fuel consumption by 24 percent, but the unstable HDR solution brings richer details and more vibrant colors than real-time HDR. According to Samsung’s official website, “Dual Pixel Pro technology uses 100 million step-detecting photodiodes that capture steps vertically and horizontally for faster and more precise auto-focus.”
In January 2019, the Redmi Note 8 was first fitted with Samsung’s GN1 sensor and used a pixel-binning method to capture 48MP shots. In the same series, the Redmi Note 8 Pro was released with a GW1 sensor, followed by the Mi CC9 Pro with Samsung’s 108MP Isocell HMX sensor. Mi11 Ultra is another name on this list.
Mi11 Ultra Camera Specs (Rumor)
- Triple camera setup with 50MP ISOCELL GN2 primary sensor
- Up to 120x zoom with 48MP telephoto lens
- 48MP ultra-wide sensor
The Mi11 Ultra features a triple camera setup with a primary sensor of 50MP resolution, 48MP ultrawide and a 48MP telephoto camera unit with 120x zoom. As it was pointed out, the 50 MP main camera has a Samsung 50MP ISOCELL GN2 sensor.
With the recent release of the Samsung sensor, camera lovers are excited about the rumors about the Xiaomi 2021 flagship. However, the Mi11 Ultra is its predecessor China-only series. Let’s see if this changes in 2021.

In a first-of-its-kind initiative in the telco industry, Celcom has introduced a new innovative offering to help Malaysians during the adverse economic conditions as well as the impacts of COVID-19. During this challenging period, Celcom has partnered with Boost to offer cashback for prepaid customers to help them save more.
From now until 30th June 2020, Celcom prepaid users can enjoy 10% cashback when they purchase a minimum of RM10 in Celcom Xpax and Internet reloads through the Celcom Life App. Malaysians can then utilise the cashback as digital currency, buying everyday essentials all while staying safe indoors.
To enjoy the cashback, simply follow these steps to start earning cashback today:
What’s more, Celcom postpaid customers too stand to get cashback and stack up in savings just by using the service. Celcom’s recently launched MEGA postpaid plans have a new Trade-In feature that allows users to “trade in” unused Internet quota at the end of each billing cycle. You can earn RM5 in cashback for every 10GB that is unused, and the cashback will be credited to your Boost e-wallet.
Additionally, postpaid customers can also enjoy a one-time RM50 rebate if they opt for Celcom’s Auto Billing service, as well as save up to RM10 monthly just by opting for digital bills instead of printed physical bills.
Idham Nawawi, Chief Executive Officer of Celcom Axiata Berhad said Celcom is proud to be the first telco in Malaysia that enables cashback. “As consumers continue to engage in today’s digital ecosystem, we are also conscious about the current COVID-19 outbreak that has impacted their livelihood and the nation’s economy. We want to ensure that our customers get the best value for their purchases from us. Celcom’s prepaid and postpaid cashback will be an alternative benefit for customers, allowing them to purchase their daily needs via Boost e-wallet, both digitally and at all participating stores nationwide,” he said.
As one of Malaysia’s most popular e-wallets, Boost is currently available at over 135,000 retail merchants in Malaysia, as well as a supported payment option in many e-commerce platforms in the country. This means that you can easily use the cashback earned from your Celcom prepaid or postpaid plans to pay bills, buy meals, fuel up, buy game credits, and even purchase travel insurance. Boost’s extensive range of partners also mean there are even more discounts and offers that are valid for a limited time only.
Not only that, you can stretch your Ringgit even more with Boost’s CashUp feature, letting you earn cashback from spending at e-commerce platforms. So not only will you earn cashback just by being a Celcom prepaid or postpaid user, you can earn more cashback by spending the cashback you earn!
As the country moves towards a cashless society, e-wallets such as Boost are becoming increasingly popular. But more importantly, with the WHO stating that COVID-19 can even be spread via banknotes, utilising cashless and digital payments including e-wallets are a useful preventative measure to reduce unnecessary exposure to objects that may have been touched by many people.

New Front-Of-Package Nutrition Labeling
The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and Grocery Manufacturing Association (GMA) have decided to enforce a new labeling system for their member companies. This decision was announced with an online press release.
The prominent food and beverage manufacturers of America, in an attempt to battle against obesity have made a decision to team up and develop a new front-of-package nutrition labeling system. This plan will be of great help to busy consumers in making accurate, healthy selections while shopping. America’s food and beverage companies and vendors have said yes to this change of product labels with a consumer awareness campaign estimating $50 million.
In its first FDA-sponsored Front-Of-Package (FOP) labeling report which was released just two weeks back, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) proposes that the FOP symbols indicate only about the calories, sodium, trans fat and saturated fat, the nutrients which are directly linked with obesity, heart problems and diabetes. This led William Neuman of The New York Times to sum up its attempt as “Tell us how your products are bad for us.”
GMA and FMI prefer to mention “no trans fat” or “no cholesterol” in their product labels if they must do negatives, but they prefer highlighting all the constituents that are good in the products like added vitamins in beverages (not to worry, the universal cup holder can handle the added weight of additional vitamins), omega-3s in cereals, and fiber in pizzas.
In any event, they specifically do not want the UK “traffic-light” symbol labeling system to be put into effect by FDA. This system shows a red circle for less healthy nutrient levels and a green circle for healthier levels. These symbols were so strongly resisted by the food industry that they caused the called off the British Food Standards Agency as they deter consumers from buying foodstuffs denoted in red.
Mr. Neuman, in a New York Times article quotes Mary Sophos, a GMA representative and executive vice president for the group. She says that the group is not keen on entering into interpreting food elements. The label would not demonstrate the whole nutritional attributes of a product as good or bad as the UK system does.
GMA and FMI evidently are looking forward to having a similar thing to take place in our FDA. An FDA statement said, “Our hope is that the industry will develop a label that aids in consumer understanding and helps parents and other shoppers easily identify and select products that contribute to a healthy diet.”
This move shows all the signs the FDA requires for compulsory FOP labels. The food industry will not keenly label its processed foods in a manner that will assist the public to choose healthier foods. After all, the food and beverage industry is exactly that, an industry, one that relies on consumers to purchase it’s products, whether they are good or bad for them, to make money. Apparently profits are more important than the health and wellness of the American people.

The Galaxy A53 is all set to be Samsung’s next hot mid-range phone, after the Galaxy A52 impressed everyone with a huge amount of upgrades over previous phones in the lineup.
The Galaxy A53 is expected to bring upgrades such as a new Exynos chipset (though whether or not an Exynos chip is actually an upgrade remains to be seen) and a larger battery, and naturally, it will ship with Samsung’s newest software out of the box.
In fact, the software might be what makes the Galaxy A53 stand out among the sea of competing devices and make it extremely attractive to prospective customers. Or rather, it’s in terms of software support that the Galaxy A53 could carve a niche of its own in the mid-range segment.
It’s because the A53 is likely to be the first mid-range Samsung phone to be part of the company’s promise of four years of OS upgrades. Currently, Samsung offers three years of OS upgrades to the Galaxy A5x and Galaxy A7x line.
That’s impressive already, but when Samsung recently announced it will be offering four OS upgrades to select A series phones in the future, it didn’t actually mention any specific phone names. That leaves us to assume that it will be the Galaxy A53 (and the Galaxy A73) that will be taking advantage of what is undoubtedly the best software support policy outside of the Apple ecosystem.
Unfortunately, it seems the improved software support and hardware upgrades might make the Galaxy A53 a little pricier than the Galaxy A52s 5G, and that might offset some of its allure. That said, it’s all rumors at this point so we wouldn’t recommend taking anything seriously until the Galaxy A53 goes official.
Which could be soon, considering it’s almost been a year since the Galaxy A52 was announced, so stay tuned!

Fast-Food Workers Across The U.S. Cry Poverty Wages, Demand Better Pay
When you're making eight bucks an hour, which is pretty typical in the fast-food industry, it's tough to make ends meet.
And increasingly, the working poor are asking this question: Why am I living in poverty, even when I'm working full time?
That's the message that thousands of fast-food workers rallying Thursday in about 100 U.S. cities — from Oakland to Memphis to Washington, D.C. — are trying to get across. A living wage in big cities is closer to $14 an hour, and it jumps to about $20 an hour for an adult supporting a child.
The protests are part of a growing campaign backed by a coalition of advocacy groups, religious organizations and union organizers aimed at raising fast-food wages to $15 an hour.
But not everyone agrees that raising the federal minimum wage will fix the problems of fast-food workers struggling to make ends meet. "I would oppose raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour," says Michael Strain of the American Enterprise Institute.
Such a hike in wages would lead to higher prices at the fast-food counter for all of us, Strain says, and employers would hold back on hiring. In addition, fast-food chains might replace people with new automated technology, which could be cheaper over time, he says.
At at time when the fastest-growing jobs in the U.S. economy are also the lowest-paid, the issue of income inequality is on the lips of leaders worldwide.
And the image problem for the fast-food industry is exemplified by this online petition urging McDonald's chief executive officer, Donald Thompson, to cancel his order for another corporate jet until he pays all his employees a decent wage.
According to the petition, McDonald's just bought a $35 million luxury Bombardier jet for its corporate executives. Yet many of the company's employees make so little that they rely on public assistance to get by.
"It's not right to impoverish your employees while sailing above them at a rate of $2,500 an hour," reads the petition started by the Campaign For America's Future. "It's immoral to do it with a taxpayer subsidy."
In a recent study, economists at the University of California, Berkeley, found that 52 percent of fast-food workers rely on taxpayer-funded public assistance programs, such as food stamps or Medicaid.
"Taxpayers are subsidizing the low-wage model of these employers, who are making record profits in some cases," says Dorian Warren, an associate professor at Columbia University who studies income inequality.
McDonald's didn't comment on the new round of protests Thursday. But back in October, a company spokeswoman told The Salt that McDonald's history is full of examples of individuals who worked their first job with the company and then went on to have successful careers — both within and outside of McDonald's.
As for the push from workers for higher hourly wages, McDonald's "does not determine wages set by our more than 3,000 U.S. franchises," a spokeswoman for the company says.
But at the restaurants run by the company — fewer than 10 percent of the roughly 14,000 McDonald's outlets in the U.S. — the spokeswoman explains, "we pay salaries that begin at minimum wage, but range up from that figure, depending on the job and employee's experience level."
And according to an analysis by the financial information company Sageworks, many franchise operators are seeing significant increases in sales revenue.
Over the past four years, privately held fast-food restaurants have seen profit margins nearly double, Sageworks found, while the restaurants' labor costs have remained flat.
So what will it take to push up wages? Depends on whom you ask.
Increasingly, politicians are under pressure to raise the federal minimum wage. The president made his case Thursday. And already, a patchwork of state and municipal pay hikes have been passed. For instance, New Jersey passed a ballot initiative to raise its minimum wage by $1 to $8.25 an hour. And many workers in the city of SeaTac, Wash. — home to the Seattle airport — will get a raise to $15 an hour.
"The federal minimum wage has lagged behind the rising cost of living for the past four decades," says Jack Temple of the National Employment Law Project.
According to Raise The Minimum Wage, a project of the National Employment Law Project, the minimum wage would be $10.74 if it had kept up with inflation over the past 40 years.
"Workers' backs are against the wall," Temple says.
Strain favors responses that wouldn't put the onus on business owners, such as an expansion of the earned income tax credit or other subsidies.
Otherwise, free market economists say, low-skill workers run the risk of being priced out of the job market.
It's true that the fast-food industry has given lots of young workers a start in the job market. In fact, the current CEO of McDonald's started behind the counter of a Michigan McDonald's decades ago.
But at a time when 70 percent of fast-food workers are in their 20s or older and one-quarter are raising children, the demands for higher wages are growing.

For other industries, a regulatory light touch seems to have worked better. Since the breakup of the old AT&T monopoly in the 1980s, the federal government has used the telecom industry as a model of how competition could be a better elixir than the guiding hand of government regulation. And the results are impressive.
In the 15 years after President Clinton signed the Telecom Act of 1996, broadband Internet providers invested $1.2 trillion in wireline and wireless high-speed networks, including $250 billion in the past four years alone. The high-speed Information Superhighway touches 95 percent of the U.S., and most consumers can choose from among six or more wireless or wireline providers (90 percent can choose from at least two). And the price of Internet access — measured by megabits per second — has fallen 87 percent since 1999, even as the speed has increased tenfold.
The wonders of the Internet Age weren’t created solely by these broadband Internet providers, but ever-faster speeds and capacity have enabled a new entrepreneurial culture for software developers that are creating freedom and convenience in many areas of modern life through now-ubiquitous “apps.” Apps are making it easier to read a magazine on the go, send the results of a blood sugar test to the doctor in real time, participate in civic discourse or just watch some TV — not to mention nearly 650,000 other uses.
And there’s more to come, as networks grow faster and more accessible: 80 percent of U.S. homes now have access to download speeds of 100 megabits per second, and 4G wireless service will soon be available nationwide, with speeds of up to 20 megabits per second. While some challenges remain – such as getting broadband to remote rural areas, a market condition well-suited to government intervention – on the whole the broadband positives far outweigh the negatives by any reasonable standard.
Despite the evidence, however, there are those who wonder whether there is sufficient competition for Internet access, whether speeds are too slow and prices too high. Others object to new pricing plans that allow a consumer to purchase the amount of bandwidth that best suits his needs.
In fact, some have asked the government to stop these new tailored pricing plans, even though these plans save nearly all consumers from having to underwrite the “outliers” whose monthly usage is gigantic — over 300 GBs a month or the equivalent of over 500 standard definition movies
Others want to go to European regulatory models that force broadband Internet providers to lease their high-speed networks to competitors at regulated rates. But this model of creating competition already failed in the U.S.; the nations that have since adopted it have watched investors sink tens of billions annually into network upgrades in the U.S. – $64 million in 2009, triple the levels of supposed international leaders like Japan, according to the OECD. Meanwhile, our companies trip over one another to announce new speeds and services every few months. The European Commission this summer signaled that it would back away from this policy to promote more investment.
The reflex to regulate or not regulate is just that: an impulsive reflex often devoid of analytical rigor. And if Teddy Roosevelt were with us today, he would likely argue that we can walk and chew gum at the same time, pointing to the banking industry as an example of industry excesses in need of a public check and the telecom industry as an example of how private competition, with occasional nudges, could better make the markets work.

Since launching the British Heart Foundation (BHF) on Depop, it has made nearly 10,000 pounds for the charity through the sale of fashion items.
The BHF is the UK’s largest charity retailer and its eBay store is the largest online charity reseller in Europe. Its Depop online shop includes vintage dresses, tops, jackets, retro sportswear and luxury branded pieces.
Allison Swaine-Hughes, retail director at the BHF, said in a statement: “We are delighted with the popularity of our Depop account and feel we have been truly embraced by its community of online shoppers who are looking for quality preloved items.
“The coronavirus crisis had a huge impact on the BHF’s income and will continue to do so for years to come. By shopping with the BHF via our Depop shop, you will help us continue our vital heart research, and support the 7.4 million people living with heart and circulatory diseases who need us now more than ever.”
Due to Covid-19, Depop has become the ideal platform for selling and donating clothing. However, the pandemic has meant the closure of 730 charity shops and the cancellation of many charity events, resulting in a net income falling of around 50 percent this financial year.
Peter Semple, chief marketing officer at Depop, added: “At Depop, we’ve always been focused on championing and believing in the value of second hand as an alternative to shopping new, and charity shops have always played a natural, yet huge, role in helping to increase demand for unwanted clothes.”
"Throughout the coronavirus crisis, we’ve been proud to be a valuable resource to charities like British Heart Foundation to help them continue to operate their businesses safely and successfully while physical retail closed, vital volunteering numbers decreased, and donations increased significantly.”

The NFL is spending millions of dollars to build the network that will allow players and other fans to connect online, even as the league’s mobile phone network continues to lag behind competitors.
The $500 million network is part of a multiyear effort to build a network that’s faster and cheaper than the mobile networks in major sports leagues across the world.
This isn’t a simple fix for the NFL.
The NFL already has the fastest wireless broadband in the league.
The league is also paying for the network, which will provide internet access for the stadium, stadiums, stadiums’ restaurants, stadiums-operated retail shops and other businesses.
In addition to the stadium network, the league is investing $1 billion in mobile data and $250 million to create new mobile devices to allow for mobile video streaming, according to league spokesman Scott Barbour.
The network is expected to be ready for use in 2019, and the NFL plans to roll it out nationwide by 2020, with more than 1 million players and spectators using it, according the league website.
The network will allow for live sports on mobile devices, allowing fans to watch games without having to connect to the team’s stadium.
It will also allow teams to stream games from outside of the stadium and to share games with the local community, said Mike Reiss, senior vice president of digital services for the league, in an interview.
That means that fans can get more than just a television channel for their viewing pleasure.
The goal is to make it easier to watch a game live, and that’s going to be a challenge.
But it’s a big step forward, Reiss said.
It’s a good start.
We want to keep going, he said.
We’re building the infrastructure, the network and the revenue to support it.
But this is a step.
There’s more to do.
The next phase will be to increase the speed of access.
The faster the speed, the better, Reis said.
The speed of the connection is important, too.
There will be more latency, and if you’re watching a game, the speed is going to go down, said Scott Stasik, vice president and general manager of mobile devices for the United States for ESPN, which is also involved in the project.
With a slow internet connection, the best way to watch video is through a mobile device.
The slow internet speeds are a big issue for sports fans.
They’re not going to watch sports at their homes.
But with a fast internet connection it’s going for you.
The more of an internet connection you have, the more you can do with it.
And the more people you can get access to, the faster the game will play, Stasic said.
The NFL is also looking at how to improve the speed at which it can stream video to its mobile devices.
The new network will have the capacity to deliver the video on demand to a device like an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, said Aaron Todson, an NFL spokesman, in a statement.
The technology is being tested with a number of devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Gear S2 and Nokia N1 devices.

SCRANTON -- Heartburn is a fairly common condition, even more so in this area, according to some medical professionals. But knowing when it's a nuisance and when it's the sign of something more dangerous is important.
Stores and pharmacies are stocked with products to help ease heartburn, and the CVS pharmacy on Meadow Avenue in Scranton is no exception.
Mary Summa says she gets a lot of questions about heartburn. Summa is a nurse practitioner at the walk-in MinuteClinic, open for about six months now, inside the store. She says if heartburn can be relieved by over-the-counter products like an antacid, it shouldn't be too much of a concern.
"It's basically a question of location, frequency, and severity," Summa explained. "Indigestion is basic discomfort after a meal, whereas heartburn is a more consistent burning sensation in the chest or abdomen following a meal."
Lots of things can cause heartburn, but poor dietary habits are some of the biggies. Weight gain and obesity only make things worse.
Dr. Aman Ali is an advanced gastroenterologist at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. He also says if the heartburn is occasional, or there is a clear reason for it -- for instance eating a lot of oily or greasy foods, or eating late at night before you go to sleep -- you shouldn't worry too much. But watch your symptoms.
"General rule of thumb is: if any symptom mimicking heartburn lasts more than a few days, or the symptoms get worse with exertion or exercise, that is not your typical heartburn," said Dr. Ali.
And that's the warning. Many serious health issues can feel like heartburn, such as gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), gallbladder issues, even in some cases, coronary heart disease.
"I have many examples of physicians who are very familiar with anatomy who were fooled by what was quote unquote heartburn when it was, in fact, a heart attack," said Dr. Ali.
Dr. Ali also briefly addressed the recent report showing that long-term use of drugs like Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium to name a few, have been linked to a vitamin B12 deficiency, which has been associated with dementia, brain damage, and anemia.
His take is that many drugs have side effects and only your own doctor can say whether the risk of taking them outweighs the benefits.

A bill that directs the president to establish an interagency committee to study certain EPA rules and actions that impact the price of diesel fuels and gasoline was introduced by Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-KY), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power, and Rep. John Barrow (R-GA).
The Gasoline Regulations Act ensures that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers the cumulative impact, including costs to consumers, before they issue a regulation that could lead to increased fuel prices, the congressmen said.
The bill also asks that President Barack Obama place a pause on “three of the most problematic regulations until the study is complete.” Those three regulations are:New source performance standards for greenhouse gases for refineries.
- TIER 3 standards (amount of sulpher in the refined product).
- Tightening of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone.
The bill would require EPA to consider the cost of a new NAAQS ozone rule. “Because the courts (Whitman v. American Trucking) decided that the Clean Air Act does not allow EPA to consider costs and feasibility when setting an ozone standard, this provision is commonsense and will protect consumers and the economy,” a news release from Whitfield’s office said.
“Over the past three years, prices at the gas pump have more than doubled, and that is unacceptable,” said Whitfield. “Today, I introduced common sense legislation that will ensure that the federal government doesn’t add to the pain at the pump by implementing regulations without first understanding the full costs they will have on consumers, jobs, and economic growth.”
Barrow said, “Everywhere I go, folks are worried about the price of a gallon of gasoline. The legislation that Congressman Whitfield and I have introduced will halt new EPA regulations until after they’ve considered the impact on jobs and economic growth – including the impact a regulation could have at the pump.”

A solar system installation company has opened in the Mesa Mall in Grand Junction what’s billed as the first residential solar retail store in the country.
Following the approach of such companies as Apple, AT&T and Disney, Syndicated Solar expects to engage more directly with a broader potential customer base in offering information about solar energy.
“The fundamental idea here is make ‘going solar’ easy and low-pressure for our customers. We can give a broad base of homeowners an opportunity to save money using this exciting and environmentally friendly technology,” said Justin Pentelute, founder and chief executive officer of Syndicated Solar.
The store, located next to the Cabela’s in the mall, offers an opportunity for potential customers to meet with consultants, ask questions and obtain tailored proposals and installation details on the spot. Customers will find out how much they could reduce monthly utility bills and view satellite images of their rooftops to determine if their homes would be good candidates for solar systems. In addition, the store will host weekly events that offer participants an opportunity to ask questions about solar systems as well as potential savings, tax incentives and rebates.
“We visit with customers in their homes every day and are astonished to find how few people understand how much money they can truly save,” Pentelute said.
Syndicated Solar was founded in Grand Junction in 2009 and since has installed nearly 300 solar systems nationwide. The company is now headquartered in Denver and operates additional offices in California and Missouri. For more information about Syndicated Solar, call 616-6747 or visit www.syndicatedsolar.com.

Synthetic ID Theft: What every advocate should know
Identity theft and fraud are not new, but synthetic ID theft—or “Frankenstein fraud”—where thieves piece together information from different people to create a new identity, is the fastest-growing type of fraud. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that up to 85% of identity theft today is synthetic, and this type of fraud is one of the hardest to detect. The typical victims are your clients—low-income individuals, the elderly, people experiencing homelessness, individuals seeking to re-enter, and children.
Join Consumer Action on Tuesday, July 11, for a train-the-trainer webinar on understanding the impact of synthetic ID theft. This free 90-minute training will focus on why synthetic ID theft is becoming more common and why every consumer should be concerned. The webinar will also explore strategies to avoid becoming a victim of synthetic ID theft and what steps to take if you’re already a victim.
Michael Bruemmer, Experian’s vice president of data breach resolution and consumer protection; Charles A Harwood, director of the FTC’s Northwest Region; and Eva Velasquez, president/CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center, will headline the webinar.

Mobile print is on the rise – but the challenge of convincing customers of its security benefits remains. Three print industry giants explained in October 2018’s issue of Dealer Support why the sector is doing so well.
While these four little letters have caused many businesses a great deal of confusion, stress and even irritation, GDPR is something that needs to be thoroughly considered in many aspects of office life because it has far-reaching implications regarding data protection. We touched on the growth of app-based printing earlier in the year, but it has undergone further developments since then – particularly in relation to security – which render the theme worth revisiting in more depth.
As the remote workforce grows, so too does mobile print – in fact, this has been one of its primary drivers. The sheer ease of printing from a mobile device is another major driver expected to continue the uptake, particularly as flexible working continues. According to Juniper Research, more than a billion employee-owned devices are now being used for work under bring your own device (BYOD) policies which were widely implemented last year. As such, standards for printing devices have skyrocketed, meaning that dealers and their suppliers need to be working closely together to ensure they deliver what the customer needs.
“In today’s business environment, employees now expect to be able to access, work and then print documents from any location they choose – and they expect technology to cater to those needs,” says Jade Paris, product manager at Epson. “The ability to integrate cloud computing and wireless technologies with mobile printers is another driving factor for business adoption, providing secure, remote access and delivering users high-quality print, effortlessly, wherever and whenever needed.”
To ensure this process is seamless, security concerns need to be addressed in order to rid potential users of any lingering doubts; the answer lies in standardisation, says Jade. “Many potential users are discouraged by their fears over how secure mobile printing can be and, of course, we now need to make sure this is foremost amongst our concerns when designing products.”
Jade suggests that dealers can assuage these fears by recommending that customers invest in printers which already have built-in security technology, that they keep documents within the company firewall at all times and that the system they use integrate into existing IT environments. Many printers now also come with short-range Bluetooth technology, creating a one-to-one connection between the mobile device and the printer; this means that, once paired, the devices can contact each other at any point in a way that is so secure it bypasses any capacity for hacking.
Joe Doyle, group marketing director at KYOCERA Document Solutions UK, says that security will always be an unavoidable issue when printing. “Security is key in this digital age,” he explains. “Giving network access to multiple devices throws up the additional challenge of how to maintain security. However, more and more organisations are realising that accessing company data on mobile devices can be more secure and controlled than they first assumed.”
Joe points out that there are solutions which can prompt users to identify themselves when submitting a print job via an app, and some software even has geolocation rules available, meaning that not only who, but where one can print is controllable. “In essence, security challenges can be addressed by combining the right technology solutions with a greater degree of networking management,” says Joe.
Why go mobile?
Printing remains an integral part of basically every workplace; the role of the PC is steadily declining, making it more appealing than ever to begin using mobile devices and apps to print. “The mobile print market is growing and this is opening up an array of opportunities for our partners,” says Ged Cairns, head of mobile solutions at Brother UK. “Businesses across a range of sectors seek to work more efficiently and improve productivity levels.
“Despite growing trends, many small businesses see security as one of their biggest challenges for growing mobile workforces,” he continues. “It’s essential that we’re addressing these concerns from the outset by selling solutions which have the right security credentials and ensuring customers understand the features on offer. In a business climate where margins are being squeezed – and customer expectations around the speed of service increase all the time –, it’s easy to see how mobile print can have a real impact on the operational and financial success of organisations.”
Scalable and simple solutions
Education is key here, and dealers are in a position where they can learn directly from the manufacturer and pass that wisdom – and assurance of security – on to customers. Joe believes that, not only is mobile print a growing industry, but that, “Mobile document management is here to stay.
“If current trends tell us anything, it’s that mobile print will continue to develop, focusing on offering scalable and simple solutions. The ultimate goal would be a single user experience regardless of the device being used,” he adds. KYOCERA has begun to see mobile devices even being used for scanning as part of approval processes, or for storage in document management systems.
It’s an unavoidably growing market and, Jade believes, something to take full advantage of. “Embracing the freedom to print from any device and from any location ensures that employees benefit from a fully-integrated, secure mobile print solution – printing what they want, when they need it,” she says.

The BlackSn0w unlock will be released November 4th, 2009 and will work with the latest iPhone baseband (05.11.07).
In a post on his blog Geohot writes,
First off, Jody Sanders, I am declining your $10,000. Why? Because you, and the rest of the iPhone unlock sites out there are scum. You make money selling freeware; that's not cool, and I am in no way going to legitimize it.
Seriously, the people who really lose here are the customers. These sites are full of blatant lies, claiming to have unlocks for 05.11.07 People buy them, and are told the unlock is in development, and the release date is unknown. Imagine you bought a cup of coffee and were told it's in development? Recently, many of these sites sent out e-mails saying they made major breakthroughs and the unlock will be ready 11/04/09. Coincidence that that's the release date of blacksn0w?
Geohot implores users to get the truth out. The iPhone unlock is free. "Let's shut all these assholes down"
As usual we will keep updating you as news becomes available.

Thanks to the release of the new Mortal Kombat movie -- it looks like everyone has a case of MK fever! If you're looking for more live-action thrills after streaming the new release on HBO Max, the service now has you covered with cult-favourite late nineties televisaion series - Mortal Kombat: Conquest! Read on for details:
We already know Mortal Kombat had a strong opening weekend at the domestic box office and it looks like its found a record breaking audience on WarnerMedia's HBO Max streaming platform as well! The new release looks to become the most watched new programming for the service according to third-party ratings. Read on for details:
When Mortal Kombat is finally released in 2021 it will receive a simultaneous premier in theaters and streaming! HBO Max announced the radical shift in business for Warner Bros movies with a slate of blockbuster releases coming to the big screen and premium streaming platform. Watch the trailer:
Insert Coin: The Midway Chronicles is the highly anticipated documentary that revisits the explosive history of Midway Games -- and it's out now! Directed by Midway's own Josh Tsui, and featuring interviews with a cavalcade of gaming royalty, it tells the story of a pioneering company's legacy from the perspective of those who were there. Read on for the trailer and how you can watch:
Last year, Valve Software announced that they were introducing their own entries into the world of gaming consoles. Their approach differs from that of Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo; they have gone the way of Android, where they have created their own Linux distribution called SteamOS, and are encouraging PC manufacturers to create their own hardware boxes called Steam Machines. While SteamOS can run any Steam game that has been ported over to Linux, its other big selling point is In-Home Streaming, which will allow players to control and play a game from one system while the game itself runs from a second system. Thus, a person with a Steam Machine could play a Windows game from a Windows-based PC on the same network.
This is big news as more and more devices such as PS3, Xbox 360, Tivo Premiere, and even certain televisions are showing support for this feature.
In somewhat related news, Street Fighter: The Movie has also been made available for streaming as well. Coincidence, or a sign of grudging acceptance of video game movies in general?

Xiaomi is one of China’s largest smartphone manufacturers. This company has been around for 6 years, and they’ve managed to become China’s number 1 smartphone manufacturer in less than 5 (years). Xiaomi is not at the very top of the food chain in China any longer, though, their market share did slip a bit due to fierce competition and what not, but the company is trying to regain market share and once again get ahead of the pack. The company had introduced two new flagship handsets yesterday, and it seems like they’re in high demand in China. That being said, some new Xiaomi-related info just surfaced, read on.
Xiaomi plans to open 1,000 stores by 2020 according to the company’s CEO, Lei Jun. This Chinese company currently has only 25 stores in China, so this would be quite a big leap for them. “We want consumers to touch and test our products with the core technologies in the stores. We have adapted our strategies,” said Lei Jun. In addition to this, Lei Jun flat out said the following: “Xiaomi will open 1,000 stores by 2020,” which more or less confirms that we’ll see quite a few new offline stores opened up by 2020. The company’s offline stores offer you a chance to check out Xiaomi’s products, get some hands-on time with them before you purchase them. There are tons of Xiaomi’s gadgets available in such stores, including smartphones, routers, Mi TV sets… and even the company’s water purifier, electric rice cooker and air purifier. These are just some examples, of course, Xiaomi had introduced quite a few smart gadgets over the years, and if you’re looking to enter the Mi ecosystem, it might be a good idea to visit one of Xiaomi’s offline stores and see what the company has to offer.
Now, this company had introduced a couple of new products yesterday, in addition to announcing their new flagship smartphones, which we’ve mentioned earlier, the company had also introduced two new smart TVs, the 55-inch and 65-inch Mi TV 3S units. These new devices are expected to be displayed in Xiaomi’s offline stores soon, just in case you’re interested in checking those out.

Apple's2018 iPhones will cue the termination of TouchID, with all smartphones boosting the tech company's proprietary TrueDepth camera system widely known as FaceID recognition technology. Here's a compiled a list on the two unknown flagships that have been buzzing around.
RAM capacities aren't officially disclosed by Apple but the iPhone X is thought to have 3GB so we'd expect the iPhone XS and XS Max to have at least this. Like the iPhone XS, this one will also lack Apple Pencil and ProMotion support. The generic iPhone Xs will be the true successor of the iPhone X (2017) and will retain 5.8-inch AMOLED screen size. The physical buttons appear to be the same as those seen on the iPhone X. Since the video is based on the leak, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
Very soon Apple will show three new smartphone iPhone, each of which will have screens of different sizes.

It has been rumoured the hardware will feature a single camera sensor on its rear and come with an LCD panel instead of an OLED.
Also, we should expect that its provided resolution will be lower as well, although all three will share the same type of processor, the A12.
Lastly, the Apple Watch Series 4 leak suggests that it will come with a 15% larger display and have a thinner design with smaller bezels. Apple Pencil support? There has been some talk about Apple adding support for its Apple Pencil stylus to the 6.5-inch version of the iPhone, however rumors surrounding the addition have seemed to cool off over the past couple of weeks.

After recording a year of unprecedented growth, JK Cement, today announced to expand its grey division business, under the brand name of JK Super Cement, in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh (UP). The company has today in a press conference announced to open its dealership network across Kanpur, Lucknow and the adjoining areas of Barabanki, Unnao, Fatehpur and Jalaun.
Through this expansion, the cement giant plans to further strengthen its leadership position in the UP market and make quality cement available across the central and eastern belt of the state. The brand already has a robust presence in the western and a few central UP markets and plans to tap into the remaining markets in the coming few months.
The campaign is named Maati Ka laal, as we believe this is where we belong to – this maati- and have always aspired to be a part of this wonderful turf. The association with this belt has been a long one as the organisation JK was founded by the Late Lala Kamlapat Singhania who started his first business venture from this very place. We have always been very nostalgic about this place and would not refer to it as homecoming. Our hearts and minds have always been here.
Campaign of #MaatiKaLaal
The company has also announced to set up a new grinding unit in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh, in the next two years. Talking about JK Super Cement growth and expansion plans.

When Foursquare released version 5.4 for iOS in December, they changed the post-check-in flow that users had grown accustomed to over the past four years. Instead of being taken to the post-check-in screen that shows points and connected apps, they’re now dumped back in the venue screen to learn more about the place. There’s an [...]
Category: Foursquare FAQ
For the past two years, Foursquare has been working hard to turn their enormous collection of check-in data into the world’s premiere local search engine. Foursquare users have known this for a long time, but the recent launch of a search-focused homepage accessible by everyone has turned the rest of the world’s attention to Foursquare’s [...]
From the very earliest days of foursquare, users have been able to tap on any venue and see everyone who’s checked in there. See someone who looks interesting? Go check in yourself and say hello. With a relatively recent behind-the-scenes update to foursquare, though, that function has been removed. It’s part of an effort to [...]
You see foursquare brand pages like ESPN and Lufthansa checking in all the time, but how are they doing it? It’s a little different than a normal check-in; it doesn’t even involve using the foursquare app. Here’s a rundown of how it’s done.
The latest version of foursquare features an all-new design that’s been rethought from the ground up. That means a few things have moved around from their old locations — and some things have been dropped completely. Foursquare’s rating in the iTunes app store is the lowest it’s ever been (at three stars right now, with [...]

New York’s Demisch Danant gallery, which specializes in 20th century European design, is presenting the first show focused solely on the works of French designer Pierre Guariche (1926 -1995) at the Design Miami 2012. The exhibition will be showcased in two sections to highlight two breakthrough periods of the designer’s illustrious career (1950–1955 and 1958–1962). Pierre Guariche is considered as one of the most talented of the young generation of designers who came into limelight at the beginning of ‘50s.
He is famous for his commissions from the 1950s, which include a lighting collection for Disderot and the Tonneau Chair for Steiner. His designs showed his commitment to simplicity and his approach to furniture and architecture was mainly inspired by focus on form and volume. Guariche got the Rene Gabriel prize in 1965.

People dying from the cold anno 2019 is unacceptable. That's why SGF decided to get communities involved in helping homeless people during winter with the initiative 'The Warming Posters'. Using the concept of real estate posters but instead of selling a home it was about giving away food, blankets, utilities, ... to homeless people for free.
Meaningful purpose and profitable business aren’t opposites, on the contrary, they go hand in hand and reinforce each other. More and more consumers are leaning towards brands and companies doing good and giving back to society.
