Dometic recently donated Fan-Tastic Vent products to Cleansing Hope Shower Shuttle, an organization that provides clean mobile showers for people who are homeless.
Dean Dodd is the founder of Cleansing Hope Shower Shuttle in Sacramento, California. His idea: convert buses into clean, private, free spaces for homeless people to shower. He runs the mobile shower shuttle himself three days a week.
“We are restoring hope and dignity through providing the basic need of getting clean with our showers,” Mr. Dodd said. “We develop relationships with these people and see lives changed over time. We are seeing about 50 people each day.” Being able to take a shower and clean up has given many homeless people the opportunity to find a job and a safe place to call home.
Drain Master, based in Hollister, California, has begun offering custom installations of its RV waste-management products, including valves, hoses, and hose-storage systems. Products for many types of RVs are available.
Product offerings include the company’s new Pro-Series waste valves, which are operated by a control module. Two open/close switches (for gray-water and black-water tanks) are located on the inside and the outside of the RV.
In addition, the new Waste Master Sewer Hose Storage System features a locking enclosure that installs under an RV; the system makes it possible to keep the hose permanently connected.

In its 53-year history, the Cape May-Lewes Ferry has transported more than 14 million vehicles and 43 million passengers between Cape May, New Jersey, and Lewes, Delaware. Lewes offers breathtaking views, but that’s just one reason RVers enjoy the journey.
Bob Lee, F65422, an RV industry pioneer and founder of Country Coach Inc., died October 8, 2017, at his Junction City, Oregon, home. He was 78.
After graduating from high school, the Klamath Falls, Oregon, native served several years in the U.S. Navy. He then worked for North American Rockwell as an equipment buyer for NASA’s Apollo program before deciding in 1968 to start a camper manufacturing business with two friends.
“We left our families and took off up I-5, having no idea where we were going to get off,” he said for a 2011 Family Motor Coaching article. The business the friends created in Junction City, Oregon, eventually became Monaco Coach Corporation.
In 1972, Mr. Lee left Monaco to start another company, Country Camper. It was named after his daughter’s Barbie doll camper. In the mid-1980s, the company name changed to Country Coach Inc.
After starting with two employees, Country Coach grew to occupy more than eight city blocks in Junction City and to employ more than 1,500 people. Product lines included front-entry and side-door-entry diesel pusher motorhomes that ranged in length from 32 to 45 feet, with up to four slideouts. The company pioneered innovations such as a motorhome systems monitor with a speech processor; an air leveling system; HVAC control technology; and hydronic heating systems.
“Building hundreds, not thousands, per year allowed Country Coach to focus on the quality upon which the business had been founded,” Mr. Lee said in the FMC article. “I always told my employees, ‘Build it as if your own mother will be driving it.’ And they did.” Indeed, the company slogan was “A Class Act.”
In the decades he built RVs, Mr. Lee rode the industry’s highs and persevered through its lows. In order to survive during the energy crisis of the 1970s, the Lees built trailers and park models, and even put some employees to work making stove inserts.
The family operation at times included Mr. Lee’s wife, Terry; his brothers Ron and Lenard; and Bob and Terry’s daughters, Kenda and Brenda. Mr. Lee and his wife were regulars at RV industry shows and rallies, traveling thousands of miles a year in their own motorhome. They parked beside Country Coach owners and sought their suggestions for improving the company’s products.
Mr. Lee served as a member and president of FMCA’s Commercial Council, as well as in positions with Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). A statement from RVIA said in part: “RVIA mourns the passing of Bob Lee, one of the RV industry’s leading innovators and pioneers. His entrepreneurial spirit and vision shaped and defined the high-end luxury RV market.”
In 1995, Mr. Lee received RVIA’s Distinguished Service to the RV Industry award. In 2000, he was inducted into the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana.
Mr. Lee sold Country Coach to National RV Holdings Inc. in 1996. He and a group of investors bought the company back in 2007, but by 2009 it had shut down against the backdrop of the Great Recession. Winnebago Industries bought the former Country Coach plant in Junction City in 2015, and now manufactures diesel motorhomes there.
Mr. Lee is survived by his wife and daughters, four siblings, and three grandchildren. Memorial donations in his name can be sent to Junction City Local Aid, P.O. Box 493, Junction City, OR 97448.
Representatives from Erwin Hymer Group North America met with several Canadian government officials in August to discuss the company’s work in testing the first self-driving RV. During the visit, the officials took a ride in the vehicle.
According to Erwin Hymer officials, the company is likely the first RV manufacturer in the world with a government permit for testing an autonomous vehicle on public roads. Erwin Hymer was approved as a participant in Ontario’s Automated Vehicle Pilot Program late in 2016. The company has been working on the technology with the University of Waterloo in Ontario.
Outdoor recreation sales and activities in the United States saw significant gains in 2017, and the industry outlook in 2018 is even better, thanks in part to projections that sales of new RVs will continue to rise. Those conclusions were reported in Outdoor Recreation Outlook 2018, which was released in October 2017 by the nonprofit American Recreation Coalition.
The report stated that Americans spend more than $887 billion annually on equipment such as RVs, boats, skis, and tents, and on services such as fishing licenses and zip lines, all of which supports millions of jobs.
For data on sales of RVs, the report cited RVIA projections that show wholesale shipments of RVs are expected to reach 479,700 in 2017, an 11.4 percent gain over 2016. In addition, wholesale RV shipments are projected to increase to 491,200 in 2018, which would mark the ninth consecutive year of gains.
The report stated that the number of visitors to U.S. national parks in 2017 rose 7.7 percent compared to 2016 levels over the same period. The report also noted that KOA, the nation’s largest private campground system, reported a strong year across the board.
FMCA members Phyllis Hinz and Lamont Mackay, F175089, have spent portions of their lives as restaurant owners, caterers, recipe consultants, and cookbook authors. It’s no wonder, then, that in their extensive travels throughout North America, “The Cooking Ladies,” as they call themselves, always find ways to focus on food.
Their new book, On The Road With The Cooking Ladies: Let’s Get Grilling (Whitecap Books; $29.95) is chock-full of grilling recipes and colorful photos that will tantalize the taste buds.
Also sprinkled throughout the 240-page softcover book are anecdotes from their travels. For example, one of their stops was in Campbell River, a city in British Columbia where a group of fishermen established the Tyee Club. Tyee is another name for the chinook, or spring salmon. Club membership is granted only to those who catch a tyee of 30 pounds or more using a single hook while fishing from a motorless boat.
That quirky story is followed by a recipe for West Coast Cedar Plank Salmon. The full-page photo of the prepared dish is enough to make the mouth water.
Stories and recipes are grouped into chapters that include snacks and starters; burgers, sandwiches, and pizza; pork; beef; poultry; seafood; lamb and game; vegetables; and fruit and dessert. The book also includes tips to help cooks achieve grilling perfection.
On The Road With The Cooking Ladies: Let’s Get Grilling can be ordered online through book retailers or by visiting www.whitecap.ca.

In what may be the start of a campaign to take the company public, TLC Beatrice International Holdings Inc., the closely held foods company, yesterday released financial results for the first quarter that showed a small and decreasing net loss.
The numbers show that TLC Beatrice, the nation's largest black-owned business, is benefiting from improving economic conditions in Europe, where it does most of its business.
In the first three months of 1994, the company reported a net loss of $3.4 million, compared with a loss of $6.2 million in the first quarter of 1993. But net sales rose by 8.5 percent, to $396.7 million, and operating income rose by more than 37 percent, to $6.3 million.
The company has been in the throes of transition since Chief Executive Officer Reginald F. Lewis, a Baltimore native who bought the company for just under $1 billion in 1987, died of brain cancer on Jan. 19, 1993.
After Mr. Lewis' death, his half brother, Jean S. Fugett Jr., was named chairman and chief executive.
But after just a year on the job, on Feb. 1, Mr. Fugett was replaced by Mr. Lewis' widow, Loida Nicolas Lewis.
Mrs. Lewis, a lawyer, controls about 55 percent of TLC Beatrice's stock. But the company has said it is looking for an experienced chief executive.
In the aftermath of Mr. Lewis' death, minority shareholders had ,, pressed for a common stock offering. But in a March announcement detailing cost-cutting measures, the company said that effort had been abandoned.
A spokesman for the company, R. S. Meily, said the decision to release the results was made by Mrs. Lewis to "be more open with everybody, to act like a public company even though we are a private company."
He said the disclosures, which will be made on a quarterly basis from now on, were "not necessarily" preparatory to a public offering.
But analysts disagreed.
"They want people to be more familiar with their numbers, and also to put out better numbers, before they sell their shares publicly," said Margaret Schell, an analyst at Jefferies & Co. in Chicago. "And the numbers are starting to look better."

The S&P 500 is coming off its best weekly performance since June thanks to a late week rip-your-face-off rally that was triggered by a better-than-expected October Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading that came out before the bell on Thursday. However, I continue remain cautious on the overall markets as we head into the final six weeks of trading here in 2022.
While I do believe the Fed will pivot at some point in the first half of 2023, that move is unlikely to occur until monetary tightening has done substantial damage to the economy. Rising interest rates already have shellacked the housing sector, and as I noted in my column last Friday the pace of layoffs at well-known companies such as Meta Platforms (META) is picking up. I took some profits late last week to add to the cash allocation in my portfolio.
That said, after what has been mostly a dismal year for investors, there are some bargains in the market that I have started to nibble around. Today I will profile a couple small-cap names that merit consideration and that I have started to accumulate slowly.
Let's start with Unifi Inc. (UFI) , which is a manufacturer of synthetic and recycled polyester and nylon performance fibers that are found in apparel, footwear, home goods, furnishings and other consumer products. Apparel and footwear account for about 70% of Unifi's output.
Unifi has lost about 65% of its value over the past year even after a big rally last Friday. Despite the poor performance of the stock, Unifi has managed to increase sales at better than a 20% pace here in 2022. The problem has been that margins have suffered in its Americas and Brazil segments as supply chain challenges, rising input costs and a tight labor pool (predominantly in the U.S.) have acted as drags. In the past, Unifi has been able to protect margins by passing along higher input outlays to customers, but with significant increases in all aspects of those costs, price increases could not keep pace in those two geographic areas.
Unifi is likely to continue to face headwinds and lose money in the first half of 2023, but inventory levels at retailers, inflation and supply chain challenges should start to improve in the second half of 2023. Therefore, I think this is name you can accumulate very slowly over time and the equity starting to see some insider purchases.
Then there is Payoneer Global (PAYO) , which operates a payment and commerce-enabling platform that facilitates marketplaces, platforms and online merchants. Payoneer's main customers are small business owners worldwide. While the company is currently at breakeven levels, Payoneer is seeing 30% revenue growth.
Payoneer has a rock-solid balance sheet with about $500 million of net cash and marketable securities on it. Gross margins are improving on increasing revenues. Payoneer is also a beneficiary of higher interest rates. Payoneer had $15 million in interest income on the customer funds its holds on its platform in the third quarter, which was up from just $1 million in the third quarter of 2021 and company leadership projects interest income of $20 million in the fourth quarter. All in all, Payoneer is another small-cap name that seems worthy of slowly building a position in, even in this uncertain market.
(Please note that due to factors including low market capitalization and/or insufficient public float, we consider UFI to be a micro-cap stock. You should be aware that such stocks are subject to more risk than stocks of larger companies, including greater volatility, lower liquidity and less publicly available information, and that postings such as this one can have an effect on their stock prices.)

Indonesian aquatech startup Delos believes that Indonesia can become the world’s largest shrimp exporter in line with the high market demand for this marine product. CEO of Delos Guntur Mallarangeng in Jakarta, Monday said, there is more than 50 percent of the archipelago’s shrimp farming industry has not been taken seriously, and even more than half of the current total value of marine products. “Imagine if this potential is fully utilized, Indonesia will be number one. With a coastline of 54,000 km, abundant coastal human resources, and a supportive tropical climate, Indonesia should be able to become a global leader for sustainable aquaculture,” said Guntur.
The Condition of Shrimp Market
The export market for marine products in the form of shrimp continues to skyrocket even though the global COVID-19 pandemic has not yet ended. With the geographical contours of which the majority are maritime, he continued, Indonesia certainly has great potential to contribute as a large-scale shrimp producer. Especially now, shrimp exports in the United States market no longer impose import duties for all exporting countries. With this positive trend, it is Indonesia’s opportunity to boost this value. Guntur stated that he was very enthusiastic about this opportunity and believed that Indonesia would be able to surpass the largest shrimp exporting country so far, which was occupied by India, Ecuador, and Vietnam. Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries recorded the value of shrimp imports from Indonesia to America in the January-April 2021 period of 503.8 million US dollars (24.1 percent) with a volume of 58.0 thousand tons (23.5 percent). According to them, the Blue Revolution launched by Delos leads to production innovation from upstream to downstream distribution, so that the shrimp products produced have a high competitive value.
“That way, the percentage of Indonesian shrimp market share in the world market will be much higher,” he said. With a significant increase in production, Guntur continued, Indonesian shrimp will automatically be able to meet the demand for the export market. He hopes that the Blue Revolution will be able to bring Indonesia to the top of the largest shrimp-producing country with a production value that far exceeds 2 billion US dollars per year. Delos, which departed from the conventional shrimp ponds of Dewi Laut Aquaculture (DLA) and at the same time the embodiment of the digitalization of Alune Aqua, hopes to help Indonesian shrimp farmers evolve blue towards the modernization of ponds. Where the industry, which is dominated by traditional and fragmented methods, can be transformed into a modern and scientifically based systematic pond. Delos combines science, technology, and good management practices to increase shrimp farm productivity and increase yields above average, approaching 40 tonnes per ha. Guntur said that with the latest technology and a multi-disciplinary team, covering aquaculture, marine biology, technology, and business, this could be a solution. With this complete combination, he believes he will be able to support the Indonesian government’s national agenda to encourage this growth while maintaining Social, Economic and Environmental (SEE) stability. “This is the Blue Revolution that we want to echo for shrimp ponds in the archipelago to move forward together. We are trying to improve the experience, network and IP, a complete pond management system that is researched and developed internally to increase the productive capacity and yield of existing Indonesian shrimp ponds by 50-150 percent,” said Guntur. By creating more value for farmers, continued Guntur, it will also increase the volume of national exports, and strengthen Indonesia’s reputation as the world’s leading aquaculture country.

Dragon Ball FighterZ reportedly has loot boxes in the game. Developer Bandai Namco held a beta testing wherein a new character was introduced. It started on January 17 at 9 p.m. and will end on January 18 at 5 p.m. Furthermore, after my second battle, the network disconnected me mid-rematch, taking another half-an-hour to get passed the dreaded "failed to initialize network" error screen. The primary goal of this beta was to stress-test the servers and ensure they would be prepared for the game's official release.
From the looks of the image, it seems that Android 21 is also from the same race as Maijin Boo, which makes this character even more interesting, as I honestly thought she was going to just be "another" boring Android to be added to the Dragon Ball universe. The latest edition of V-Jump revealed that Android 21, created exclusively for FighterZ under the supervision of series creator Akira Toriyama, will have a vastly different look in combat than what we've seen her as initially. Prior to the beta testing, there were already reports about the new character, and fans were pleased because of her lovely design. In her basic form, she is a slim human-looking woman with brown hair and glasses. She also wears clothing similar to that of Majin Buu, though why these visual changes occur is still unknown.
Considering that she's both an android and a Majin Buu hybrid, there's no telling what sort of abilities that she'll have together. Aside from that, her eyes become red and she grows a tail.
'Heathers': Watch the Red-Band Trailer for the Paramount Network Reboot
The new trailer also gives the first glimpse at Shannen Doherty's gun-toting guest turn and series newcomer Selma Blair . Now, although there are some pretty significant changes here, there are still a lot of throwbacks to the original movie.
Facebook's 'Watch Party' feature to let group members watch videos together
The shift could mean that the time people spend on Facebook and some measures of engagement would go down in the short term. "When done well, video brings us closer together" CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Facebook's Q3 earnings call.
France and Britain to unveil 'new treaty' on migrants
Britain agreed to pay £44.5 million for fences, security cameras and other measures in Calais and nearby English Channel ports. Earlier, the two leaders held talks on security, cultural and scientific cooperation, and migration .
Android 21's special move, "Tasting Cut", drives forward and grabs the opponent to relentlessly absorb their energy.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is scheduled to release on January 26 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, so look for the game's next beta sometime before that date comes.

Nokia Reveals "Here Auto" Maps Software for Cars
August 30, 2013 12:11 PM
comment(s) - last by
There's a mobile app and cloud service available
knows a thing or two about
, and now it's applying that knowledge to the car market with its new Here Auto connected car platform.
Nokia announced the new platform today, describing it as an application that can be embedded to a vehicle's navigation system. It also has a cloud service and a mobile app.
Those who have the Here Auto software in their in-car navigation system can take advantage of maps (2D, 3D or street-level) and voice navigation -- all without the need for a data connection. But with Web access, drivers can get real-time weather and traffic updates.
The mobile app ties into the service, allowing drivers to find their car and plan trips ahead of time.
There's no word on when it Here Auto will be available, but Nokia is working with parts supplier Continental to recruit automakers willing to integrate the software into their systems. For the time being, the app works exclusively with Windows Phones, but it should be available to iOS and Android later.
Here Auto will make an appearance at the International Motor Show in Germany on September 10.
Nokia unveiled its
"Here" maps and location service
in November 2012, It's a cloud-based brand and platform for location/mapping, and it provides 3D mapping, public transport directions, voice-guided walk navigation and more.
Nokia considered a big name in maps, and other large tech players have come to Nokia for maps partnerships in the recent past. In October 2012,
partnered with Nokia for its mapping services, and
did the same just a couple of months earlier.
Nokia has also worked with auto companies like BMW, Volkswagen, Korean Hyundai and Mercedes for maps.

For centuries, whiskey barrels were transported by ship to new continents and, over the course of their journey, were exposed to the elements and the motion of the sea. The result, though accidental, was a noticeable improvement: constant agitation fast-tracked the aging process, and exposure of the barrels to salt air added new notes to the taste.
Today, one South Norwalk, Connecticut distillery is embracing that maritime history. Known for its incorporation of hemp seed into its whiskey mash bills (or spirit recipes), SoNo 1420 has been experimenting with sea-aged whiskey for the past few years through a collaboration with the nearby market Harbor Harvest.
Distillery founder Ted Dumbauld said he was approached by Bob Kunkel, owner of Harbor Harvest, who was inspired by Jefferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon. “He said, ‘We should try this on my boat.’” By “boat,” Kunkel meant the hybrid catamaran that Harbor Harvest uses to transport farm products across Long Island Sound, a project that was designated a Marine Highway Program in 2018.
The initial test run was in 2019, with a single barrel of the brand’s standard three-year-old whiskey, which was sent to sea for about a year and released upon its return. “We pretty much sold out the same day that we released the whiskey,” Dumbauld said.
So they continued the project, sending out a second barrel for a year and a third for two years at sea. Customers were able to taste the sea-aged whiskey alongside the standard whiskey, and Dumbauld said, “They were blown away because the flavor profiles are just so different.”
Currently, Finished at Sea is only available at SoNo 1420 through limited releases — but thanks to the demand, an expansion is already in the works: the distillery recently delivered its first whiskey barrel to Norwalk’s Copps Island Oysters, which has a fleet of 20-plus boats on Long Island Sound. Greater capacity means more barrels sent to sea, if the new partnership is successful. “This business is fun, because we can do a lot of innovative activities that help create unique flavor profiles in our whiskeys,” Dumbauld said.
19 Day St., South Norwalk, CT

This article provides advice from VICE Media, the digital and media publisher, on how brands can create content that engages millennials across digital, social media and television.
- VICE’s millennial readers read the most content between 2pm and 6pm when they are supposed to be working, and spend more than 11 hours every day consuming content across multiple devices.
- Authenticity and transparency are defining virtues of the millennial set when it comes to content – brands should have a genuine point of view that they can “own” for a long period of time.
- The internet and social media has prompted an evolution in how young people define themselves, from “simple paradigms” to complex personas with a lot of different facets, and they expect the same multi-dimensionality from brands.
- Marketers don’t necessarily think about whether consumers want to hear from brands on a particular topic at a particular moment, they focus on the ‘brand need’, insert their brand into conversations, and lose focus of ‘audience necessity’.

Yahoo has made it official this afternoon, Scott Thompson is out after a very short stint as chief executive and Daniel Loeb will be joining the board of directors.
The Sunday press release confirms what All Things D. had reported earlier in the day and marks a stunning unraveling of the hire of the former eBay and PayPal executive who was supposed to turn around the internet company.
But an embellished resume and constant pressure from Loeb and Third Point eclipsed any goodwill Thompson’s plans had and have left the company searching again for a new CEO.
In the press release, Thompson is mentioned only to say he has left the company. There is no thank you. There is no mention at all of why he left or the resume mistake.
Ross Levinsohn, who has run Yahoo’s media operations, has been named interim Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
As part of the settlement, Loeb, Harry J. Wilson, and Michael J. Wolf will all join the board and Loeb will drop his proxy fight and harshly worded campaign about all of Yahoo’s problems.

Roaming charges in the EU are such a rip-off, many cross-border travellers simply switch off their phones when abroad.
These high charges are putting people off using their phones when away from home - and consumers want the EU to do something about it.
So says a new EuroBarometer survey, which found that European mobile phone users are paying between €4 and €6 for a four minute call abroad while roaming.
In some cases, prices for calls exceed €12 - an Irish customer in Malta could pay as much as €13.16 for a four-minute call home on their mobile.
Mobile phone owners admitted to researchers they used their phones less when abroad, particularly younger users and students. The overwhelming majority - 81 per cent - cited high costs as the biggest deterrent, while Polish and Slovenian users are most discouraged: 94 per cent of respondents from these countries said they slash their mobile use abroad.
More than two thirds of the nearly 25,000 EU citizens who took part in the survey - 70 per cent -- think the EU should intervene to make sure that roaming charges are not significantly more expensive than those at home.
Some 68 percent would support EU action to reduce SMS roaming charges, a figure that rises to 78 per cent among the 15-24 age group.
The prices are significantly affecting mobile use. About 15 per cent of mobile customers choose not to take their phones on holiday or switch them off completely, while 21 per cent use only text messages while abroad. However, 59 per cent of those surveyed say they would use their phones more when abroad if charges were lower.
"Excessively high prices restrict mobile usage while abroad. This hurts consumers, it hurts European industry, and it hurts Europe," said EU Information Society and Media Commissioner Viviane Reding.
"Reducing roaming prices is not only a political responsibility of the European Commission, but can also be an interesting business model, as demonstrated by some operators who have started to move in this direction in recent months with the introduction of special roaming packages."
Reding called on the mobile operators to help eliminate what she described as the "last visible border in Europe’s internal market".
"It is not acceptable that the burden of international mobile roaming continues to be shouldered by ordinary citizens who pay standard tariffs," she said.
Mobile networks in the EU have been warned repeatedly by the European Commission to reduce roaming charges within the EU, or face new regulations. The new legislation, which is currently being discussed in the European Parliament, would reduce charges for making and receiving calls abroad for both citizens and businesses, and benefit from enhanced competition among mobile operators. The rules could be in place by summer 2007.
In recent months, operators such as Three Ireland, Vodafone and O2 have abolished roaming charges between the Republic of Ireland and the UK, and some operators have introduced special packages for roaming abroad.
Three welcomed the European Commission's announcement that all mobile phone companies must reduce roaming charges across Europe. The group blames high retail roaming charges on the "unjustifiably high level" of wholesale international roaming rates.

A global PricewaterhouseCoopers report shows that Australian family businesses are way behind their counterparts in other parts of the world. According to the report Australian family businesses just don’t want to be part of the global economy. They don’t want to leave their comfort zone and are focused on the domestic market, which crimps any growth. A pity as so many would have export potential.
The report reveals that Australian family businesses had the lowest rate of export to world markets, much lower than anywhere else. Singapore family businesses were at the top of the tree with 60 per cent of their total revenue coming from international sales. That was followed by family businesses in Hong Kong (58 per cent), Taiwan (49 per cent), Austria (48 per cent), Italy and Belgium (43 per cent), Denmark (41 per cent), Turkey (33 per cent), Switzerland (32 per cent) and Germany (31 per cent). Australia was right at the bottom with just 5 per cent, trailing the USA (7 per cent), Britain (11 per cent) and Ireland (20 per cent).
The average proportion of foreign sales for family businesses around the world is 25 per cent, but owners predicted this to rise to 30 per cent within the next five years. Those looking to radical growth were tipping 35 per cent. Cutting the figures another way, 67 per cent of businesses overall had international sales in 2012, but 74 per cent expected to be in this position by 2017. The countries most likely to see an increase in exports were Romania (77 per cent), Greece (70 per cent), Italy (67 per cent) and Turkey (64 per cent). Australia isn’t even in the ball park.
To an extent, this might reflect a general unwillingness of Australians to become global citizens. An Essential report last year found that most Australians resisted the idea of closer ties with the rest of the world and preferred the status quo. That was true for not only Asia but also the United Kingdom, the United States of America and even New Zealand. And only a third of Australians wanted closer ties with Australia’s biggest trading partner China.
That’s not surprising given Australia’s place as an island – cut off from the rest of the world. There are differing cultures and ocean divides. As companies like BHP Billiton and News Limited have shown, the success of any business expansion overseas depends on the ability of the business model to operate cross-borders. This is not a problem just for Australian family businesses.
Few Australian businesses generally have had massive success overseas. For sure there have been some family business successes overseas like Australian automotive suspension company Pedders, which has taken its products and expertise to the USA and also exports to Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, China, South Africa, Malaysia, Japan, New Zealand and the Middle East. But as with CSL and Cochlear, these sorts of stories are far and few between and there have been some significant failures in the past. Consider for example NAB losing money in the UK with the inefficiency and poor profitability of its Clydesdale bank. Similarly, Telstra lost millions in its costly 11-year partnership in Reach with PCCW, the Hong Kong telecoms company owned by Richard Li. Significantly, Woolworths recently decided to pull out of its bid to buy Hong Kong supermarket chain ParknShop.
According to the PwC report, the biggest barriers for many family businesses were understanding a different business culture (20 per cent), competition (19 per cent), local regulations (19 per cent), exchange rate fluctuations (16 per cent) and local economic conditions (16 per cent). There was also the challenge of managing a complex international supply chain.
PwC says the big issue is developing risk management skills. Australian family businesses have to do this if they want to crack world markets. “Some family businesses may be wary of exporting because they lack the specific skills and experience they need to do this effectively, but their reluctance may also spring from an understandable caution, or an inadequate understanding of the real nature of the risks that international expansion would entail. It’s clear from our survey that the identification, assessment, and management of risk – in its broadest sense – is one of the wider skills that many family firms need to develop.”
The problem for many Australian family businesses it that Australia offers limited growth opportunities. Sooner or later, they will have to look overseas. But to do that, they must develop the skills that can translate the capability from one market to the other, create partnerships overseas and playing the long game and hanging in there in markets to gain the respect and relationships. As is the case with China (Why China plays hardball, August 21), that requires patience, understanding how the system works and knowledge of the cultural mores in a different market. They could learn from the counterparts in places like Singapore.

More evidence of Spain’s improved advertising market came on Wednesday as Mediaset Spain reported that its core earnings for the first nine months of 2014 jumped 68 percent over the previous year as it posted results that exceeded analysts’ expectations.
The group, controlled by Silvio Berlusconi‘s Italian media giant Mediaset, said EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) hit $123 million (€96.8 million).
Revenue climbed 12.7 percent over the year-ago period to $839 million (€658.2 million), while adjusted profit amounted to $44.3 million (€34.8 million) for the nine-month period. The company did not break out third-quarter results.
“The robust … results reinforce our view that Spain is a high-momentum advertising market bouncing back strongly,” said Liberum Capital analyst Ian Whittaker.
Thanks to economic growth over the past two quarters and an increase in the number of brands, the Spanish advertising market grew 7.2 percent, marking the second consecutive quarter of ad growth in Spain, according to independent market analysis company Arce Media.
Investment in the TV ad market in Spain grew 13.7 percent over the same quarter last year to $465 million (€367.6 million). The first nine months saw a 6.9 percent increase to $1.6 billion (€1.3 billion) compared with the same period last year.
In fact, television was the only medium that saw its share of the ad pie grow — by 2.6 percent over the same period last year.
Mediaset Spain closed the first nine months of the year with a record high for audience share with 30.6 percent. This was thanks to its flagship channel Telecinco, which registered 14.5 percent share, Cuatro with 7.9 percent and its other channels.
The group, which continues to snag the lion’s share of TV ad spend in Spain with 44.4 percent of the market, grew 11.3 percent over the previous year, according to market analysis company Infoadex. Gross revenue from advertising hit $800 million (€628.3 million), with net income hitting $764 million (€599.6 million).

A survey of disabled travellers, conducted by The Co-operative Travel and UK disabled tourism charity Tourism for All, found that 84 per cent of respondents didn’t believe high street travel agents understood their needs, and that 78 per cent did not think they were catered for by the high street.
The survey also found that 93 per cent of disabled travellers found their choice of holidays restricted due to their disability.
Brian Seaman, head of consultancy at Tourism for All, the charity that provides holiday information service for disabled and older people, warmly welcomed The Co-operative Travel initiative to provide expert help and advice at branches across the country.
“We have conducted independent research in the past by sending disabled travellers on to the high street to find a disabled-friendly holiday to Majorca,” he said.
“In every case, not one travel agent was able to offer a product that might have resulted in a booking.
“Typically the cross-section of agents had great difficulty in finding suitable accommodation on the island and this lengthy process – which sometimes took over an hour – would have been frustrating for the client.
“Furthermore, when it came to visiting and checking the accommodation on the island it turned out not to be as accessible for disabled people as the agents had suggested.
“The problem is that very few agents have knowledge of the issues facing disabled travellers, and this – coupled with a further lack of knowledge concerning accessible holiday providers – means that they have been unable to offer meaningful advice, which is why this new initiative from The Co-operative Travel is like a breath of fresh air.”
Jane Witherington, commercial and market development manager with The Co-operative Travel Trading Group, said:
“Despite there being many tour operators catering for people with disabilities – we are working with Can Be Done, Redpoint Holidays and Traveleyes – it has become clear to us as a responsible travel agent that we can and should do more.
”As a consequence we have launched a new tailored service aimed specifically at disabled travellers, and trained staff from 40 branches UK-wide to ensure that they are up-to-speed with all aspects of holidays for people who require specialist travel.
“In addition, the branches will carry a specialist guide, which contains information such as airport facilities and details of key travel partners in the UK and abroad, alongside other essential information.”
The Co-operative Travel has also ensured that the specialist network of branches is Disability Discrimination Act compliant, with clear access, power assisted doors, portable hearing loops and visual alarms in-store.
The company is also aiming to provide training and compliancy across the entire network of 410 branches.

The start date for this year's Love Island has reportedly been "confirmed."
The popular dating show is set to hit our screens earlier than usual this year, with a brand new location and new singletons looking for love.
It's been reported that this year's Love Island is set to kick off on June 6th, with filming starting for the show in just two weeks.
An insider told The Sun: "Love Island is coming back with a bang and it will begin on the second full week in June.
Laura Whitmore is expected to return as this year's host. (via ITV)
"The schedules are being put together now and fans can expect a long, hot summer of fun from the villa from June 6, filming for the promotional adverts is beginning in the next couple of weeks and the ads will start in May.
"This series is going to be the longest ever and it’s from a brand new location so it’s all very exciting."
However, the start date has been set in stone as of yet, with a spokesman for Love Island telling the publication it is "too early" to confirm the schedule for this year's series.
Laura Whitmore is expected to return again this year as host of the show, which started in 2015.

The Matrix has had a major impact on fashion over the past few seasons (hence the ultra-skinny Agent Smith sunglasses everyone seems to be wearing). The Hadid sisters brought long trench coats and all-patent-everything onto the scene in 2018. Now, Kendall Jenner's black leather outfit is proof that the sci-fi aesthetic is gearing up for another season.
You must remember Bella Hadid's parade of all-black leather bodysuits, floor-sweeping nylon trenches, and shin-high lace-up heels last year. Even her Met Gala gown was oozing with influence from the 1999 film.
Perhaps it's purely coincidence that today's eyewear trends, trench coats, and vinyl obsession are all rooted in science fiction, but there's no denying the resemblance between the costumes in this 20-year-old film and the recent looks to adorn Balenciaga, Alexander Wang, Vetements, and Balmain's runways.
Between Neo's chunky boots, Morpheus' full-length coats, and Trinity's slicked-back bun, The Matrix is shaping up to be verifiable foreshadowing of modern-day fashion. Kendall Jenner's latest all-black leather outfit is the latest addition to the sci-fi style file.
The model spent her Fri. night at The Nice Guy, a celebrity-favorite hangout in Los Angeles, with sisters Kylie and Kourtney. She sported a Rosetta Getty bandeau top and corresponding flared pants with a Prada shoulder bag and braids in her hair.
The outfit was as futuristic as that leather trench she wore with a pair of tiny sunglasses at the airport earlier in the year. The demise of warm weather means ankle-brimming trenches and heftier fabrics are bound to make a resurgence. Jenner is merely kicking it off early with her latest party look.
It hasn't been a week yet since Variety announced that a Matrix 4 is officially in the works, so you can expect to see a lot more where this cosplay-inspired fashion is coming from. After folks channel their favorite leather-wearing rebel for Halloween, they'll inevitably incorporate their costumes into the everyday rotation because nothing says winter 2019 better than rubber and PVC.
Matrix-inspired pieces to work into your wardrobe, ahead.

Last year, the fitness company Mirror launched its signature $1,500 reflective LCD display meant to stream fitness classes into your home. Since then, users have been able to follow along with instructors and see themselves mimicking the moves. Today, Mirror announced a new service: personal training. Through the display's two-way audio and video, users will be able to work one-on-one with trainers in real time.
Mirror will match users with trainers based on their preferred workout activity (i.e. yoga, kettlebell, kickboxing), trainer motivational style, session length and schedule. Each session will cost $40 -- significantly less than most private coaching sessions -- but you'll need to have the pricey display and a monthly subscription, which costs another $39 per month.
"We're democratizing premium fitness experiences and giving anyone access to the best trainers, no matter where you live or how busy your schedule may be," Mirror Founder and CEO Brynn Putnam said in a press release. This sets the company up for future expansions into fashion, beauty and medicine, she added. Though Mirror does still face a few limitations -- like that it must be controlled via an iOS app and doesn't have an Android counterpart yet.

What is wrong about the world right now?
It’s all about the Kardashians, but that’s not all.
What’s wrong about us?
What’s our culture, and how are we going to overcome it?
The Globe and Mail’s latest issue explores these and more.
And the answer might surprise you.
For starters, it’s not really a culture.
We’re not a bunch of nerds or bigots, either.
We aren’t all the same and we aren’t going to get along just because we all have different lifestyles.
And if you’re not sure why that’s a good thing, here’s why: the Kardashian brand is an important part of the cultural zeitgeist.
We live in an age when social media is exploding, with new forms of expression.
We’ve come to expect celebrity news and gossip, but now, with celebrities on Twitter, it can also be seen in real time, and we are getting to know our friends, too.
And with so much digital and social media available at our fingertips, we can’t help but be influenced by what’s going on.
That’s why it’s so important that the Kardashia brand be part of our culture.
What makes this phenomenon unique is that the world is changing so quickly.
There’s a reason that the term “futurism” was invented.
Futurists like to look back in time to see what was the best in the past.
We’re seeing a similar trend with the Kardashiah brand.
It’s a new form of entertainment, and there are certain things that we can look back on and say, “Oh yeah, I like this brand.”
So, it makes sense that a brand with the brand’s history would have an enduring, cultural significance, too, especially since it’s been around for so long.
The Kardashians have always been about their style, and the brand continues to have a significant impact on the lives of millions of people around the world.
The brand has also had a major impact on Canadian culture.
The Kardashians are one of Canada’s most recognizable brands, and it’s something we celebrate with our country’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in December.
It can be a big deal to be a part of.
With the popularity of the brand, many of the other Kardashian’s children are starting to take a greater interest in fashion.
And it’s clear that fashion and celebrities have an ongoing and close relationship.
When the Kardashias’ youngest child, Khloé Kardashian, was born in 2005, she was the youngest celebrity in the world when she was born.
Khloe and her mother, Khloe Kardashian, are the couple who has been a major inspiration for many people over the years.
She’s been known to wear her signature short-sleeved red dress to events and, since 2014, has been the face of the Kardashian family’s brand.
Khloe has even appeared on The View as a regular, and her influence is evident in the current crop of celebrities that have taken over the brand.
In the same way that Khloen has helped the brand to become more relatable to an increasingly global audience, her son, Kendall Jenner, has also helped to shape it.
The eldest daughter of reality TV stars Kylie Jenner, Jenner has become a global celebrity and is an ambassador for the brand by promoting her clothing line, Jenner Free Skincare.
She has also given voice to the issues that have been raised about the importance of diversity in the fashion industry, especially the issue of representation.
And this is where it gets interesting.
Kim Kardashian is famous for being the first Kardashian to take her clothing brand, Kardashian, public, and that has created a significant amount of pressure on the fashion world to do the same.
While the brand has grown into an internationally recognized brand, the fact that it is a family-owned business is also what has kept it in the public eye.
It’s a different story when it comes to fashion.
In addition to selling Kim’s clothing line through the Kardashian Organization, the brand is also owned by the Kardash’ family and operates under the Kardashian umbrella.
The family owns and operates the brand in partnership with Khloes clothing brand.
And since the family has an ownership stake in the brand and is responsible for running it, the family also owns a stake in its clothing.
The issue of diversity has been raised many times over, and many have been very vocal about it.
While the Kardashons brand is not known for its high fashion quality, there are definitely some things that they have done well.
The company has been known for designing and designing-off-the-shelf dresses, and they are also known for their line of luxury handbags and watches.
There are even products that have inspired the Kardash, including a pair of men’s designer pants that the family wore to their wedding.
But even more importantly, the Krog

The good times keep on rolling for Facebook, as the tech giant on Wednesday reported another stellar quarter.
Thirteen years into its existence, the company is as dominant as ever. As this chart from Statista shows, Facebook runs four of the five most used social network and messaging services in the world. And it’s not really that close.
That Facebook rules over these specific types of apps is significant, because social media platforms are particularly powerful for advertisers that want to target people’s interests as precisely as possible. Not surprisingly, putting ads in front of those billions of eyes is how Facebook makes nearly all of its money.
The company has been warning that its revenue is set to slow down later this year, largely because it’s run out of room to put ads in the main Facebook app’s News Feed. The company is now looking to bulk up its advertising power in those other platforms, with Messenger the particular apple of Mark Zuckerberg’s eye.
Since those platforms are so huge, Facebook is already positioned to do well. And for advertisers looking to reach the broadest audience, the alternatives only look underwhelming, for better or worse.

Off Wall Street, companies worry about financial bill
WASHINGTON – Mars, the maker of M&M’s and Snickers, wants to make sure it can continue dabbling in the derivatives market to protect the price of sugar and chocolate for its candies.
Harley-Davidson is worried that its dealer-financed loans to bikers will fall victim to new federal financing regulations. And eBay is concerned about possible restrictions on PayPal, a subsidiary, in moving money in the Internet marketplace.
Far afield from Wall Street, the intense debate over the overhaul of financial regulations by Congress is attracting some unlikely but powerful players. More than 130 companies from the manufacturing, retail and service industries have retained high-powered lobbyists to weigh in on, and often oppose, the regulatory system being debated this week in Washington, according to an analysis of lobbying records by The New York Times.
The companies bear little resemblance to Goldman Sachs and the other Wall Street financial businesses that have become the main targets of the legislation, and the lobbying push by other industries shows just how broadly the legislation could affect American businesses.
It also illustrates what some critics say is legislation so loosely drawn that it may inadvertently cover a host of companies that are involved in lending or moving money, even if they operate far from Wall Street and had little to do with the crisis. Some industries, like payday lenders, fear that the financial overhaul may be a backdoor way for Congress to regulate them, something they have successfully fought for years.
Indeed, Steve Adamske, communications director of the House Financial Services Committee, acknowledges that some House legislation would regulate payday lenders, who make short-term, high-interest loans to people who promise to pay in full with their next check.
“There is a fair amount of caution any time the federal government proposes new oversight,” said Christopher Colwell, a lobbyist for Check N’ Go, a payday lender. “We are trying to determine what impacts these proposals will have on business, intentionally or unintentionally.”
While the legislation’s supporters in Congress insist that most nonfinancial companies have little to worry about, many of these businesses say they are deeply concerned that the sweeping provisions in the 1,400-page congressional bills, particularly the regulation of the derivatives market, the creation of a consumer financial protection board and rules on corporate government, could draw them in and affect their bottom lines.
For instance, auto dealers from 35 states are converging on Washington this week to meet with their senators’ offices starting on Tuesday to seek an exemption from legislation that would treat them as financial lending institutions subject to new federal regulations.
“I don’t think the level of concern could be any higher,” David Hyatt, vice president for the National Automobile Dealers Association, said Monday. “There’s a sense of urgency. And we’ve got to raise awareness about why this doesn’t make sense and why it’s anti-consumer.”

The Michigan-based automaker said that the decision has been made in order to fix a suspension problem that caused 13 crashes and 6 reports of injuries.
"Some affected vehicles, sold or registered in certain areas of North America states and provinces where corrosion is common, have experienced a fracture of the outboard section of the rear suspension toe link after completion of a prior safety recall repair. A fracture of a rear toe link significantly diminishes steering control, increasing the risk of a crash," the company said. 'This action affects approximately 350,000 vehicles in the U.S. and 25,200 in Canada."
The company said that those vehicles were built at Chicago Assembly Plant from Sept. 4, 2012, to Jan. 25, 2017.
It added that they will complete a torque inspection of the cross-axis ball joint and replace it as necessary.
It's worth noting that this is not the first time Ford has recalled its vehicles. In September, the company said that it was recalling over 700,00 vehicles in North America over issues on their backup cameras.
The company is having a great run despite the ongoing pandemic. Its shares surged to an eight-month high when it reported its third quarter earnings on Oct. 29. Currently, its share price is hovering around $7.86.

Juicy Chicken Sandwiches Aside, Is Chick-fil-A Homophobic?
Chick-fil-A has long been known for its tender chicken sandwiches, perpetually cheerful employees, and a long and winding history of donating to anti-LGBTQ charities. The chain restaurant is built on its founder’s Christian roots that support anti-LGBT beliefs, and those values can be seen in the operation of the restaurant itself. Here, we discuss what’s happened to find the answer to the question: is Chick-fil-A homophobic?
History Of The Chick-fil-A Foundation With Christian Organizations
Samuel Truett Cathy is the founder of Chick-fil-A, and his strong Christian roots run deep into the restaurant chain’s past and present actions.
Before 2012, the chain donated significant amounts to conservative Christian groups known for opposing LGBTQ rights through its charitable organization. In 2010, Chick-fil-A donated $247,500 to the National Christian Foundation (NCF).
By 2012, however, Chick-fil-A pledged to halt most of its controversial donations. This was due to the backlash Cathy faced when he announced his opposition to same-sex marriage.
Nevertheless, tax files from 2017 show that the foundation gave $1.8 million to anti-LGBTQ organizations, including:
- The Paul Anderson Youth Home teaches young boys that gay marriage is a “rage against Jesus Christ”
- The Salvation Army has a record of discriminating against the LBGTQ community
- The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) has released a Statement of Faith with anti-LGBTQ stands, including statements like: “God instituted marriage between one man and one woman…We believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman” and “Neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act constitutes an alternative lifestyle acceptable to God.”
As the chain restaurant continues to support these groups, LGBTQ activists further criticized the company, protesting against its pilot stores in the UK. They also called the chain out for supporting groups against The Equality Act and other legislation that protects and expands civil protection for LGBTQ individuals.
Reports show that the National Christian Charitable Foundation (NCF) has bankrolled in opposition to The Equality Act. Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy is one of its “high-dollar donors.” Tax filings have revealed that the Dan and Rhonda Cathy Foundation gave $5,750 to the NCF for multiple years.
Watchdog organization Citizens for Ethics also reported, “FYI: the billionaire owner of Chick-fil-A, which promised to stop donating to anti-LGBT causes last year, is participating in a dark money operation fighting to keep the Equality Act from passing.” Unfortunately, Chick-fil-A did not respond to this backlash.
Chick-fil-A President And His Religious Beliefs For The Restaurant
Since opening the first Chick-fil-A in 1967, the devout Baptist Cathy family has stayed true to their faith in God. Today, there are more than 2,300 Chick-fil-A restaurants across the United States, and every single one of those branches closes on Sundays as a “rest day” for the employees to unwind and worship if they so choose.
“It was not an issue in 1946 when we opened up our first restaurant,” Cathy’s son and current CEO Dan Cathy shared. “While developers had no identity whatsoever with our corporate purpose…they did identify with the rent checks that we wrote to the mall, based on our sales.”
When asked about Chick-fil-A only supporting families led by a man and a woman in an interview, Chick-fil-A’s president backed his company’s actions, saying, “Well, guilty as charged. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives.”
Even in recent years, Cathy continues to uphold his religious values for the company. In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in 2020, he wrote a letter to his employees, telling them to “join together to build a world that reflects God’s love for all of us.”
“There are countless academics and analysts who have written about how our democratic capitalism benefits only a few hundred incredibly wealthy families, individuals and corporations so that the American dream is now reserved almost exclusively for them and their descendants,” he emphasized.
“Because I am among that demographic, I am calling on them – us – to use our power and influence.”
Is Chick-fil-A Homophobic? The Final Verdict
Recently, the head of the Chick-fil-A Foundation, Rodney Bullard, said the chain wants to be “relevant and impactful” in its donations. He said it’s “a much higher calling than any political or cultural war.” In 2019, Chick-fil-A announced it would stop donating to the Salvation Army and the FCA. Instead, it would support charities for “three specific initiatives of homelessness, hunger, and education.”
It set aside nine million for Junior Achievement USA, Covenant House International, and other local food banks. Chick-fil-A also intends to stop donating to homophobic organizations, which delighted the LGBTQ community, albeit with “cautious optimism.”
After all, the fast-food chain claimed to “no longer give to anti-gay organizations.” It declared it has “no agenda, policy or position against anyone,” valuing everybody “regardless of their beliefs or opinions” in 2012 while supporting organizations and charities with anti-LGBTQ stances.
Moreover, the founder of Chick-fil-A created the WinShape Foundation in 1984, which is still active today. The foundation has donated millions to anti-LBGTQ charities, like the Marriage & Family Foundation, the Georgia Family Council, and Exodus International, the latter being known for promoting conversion therapy.
Even with the positive reputation that Chick-fil-A has as an employer, its policies are not without flaws. For example, the company “still lacks policies to ensure safe workplaces for LGBTQ employees.” Additionally, a Muslim employee previously sued the restaurant chain based on religious discrimination.
Nevertheless, it remains one of the top fast-food brands in the country today.
Some people say, “separate the art from the artist,” or, in this case, the juicy chicken sandwich from the homophobia. But the reality is nobody controls where Chick-fil-A donates its profits. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide if the meals are worth supporting a company that unapologetically supports anti-LGBTQ groups.

For most of us, January is an anxious time for scanning credit card statements as the consequences of seasonal spending come home to roost.
However households have been offered one source of relief in the form of the price cap on energy standard variable tariffs (SVTs), which came into force on New Year’s Day.
Under the cap, the typical SVT dual fuel customer will pay no more than £1,137 per year. The exact sums paid by the approximately 11 million customers who are on SVTs or other default tariffs will continue to vary, though, because actual bills will continue to reflect the amount of gas and electricity used.
However, Ofgem reckons that the average saving will work out at around £75 for households over the course of a year.
The ire driving the introduction of the price cap was clearly targeted at the big six with their substantial back books of SVT customers inherited from the days of regional supply monopolies.
However, the finances of these largest energy companies will remain “relatively robust”, reckons Nigel Hawkins, utilities sector analyst at Hardman & Co and a business correspondent for Utility Week.
“If you are one of the big six you have other fish to fry,” he says, explaining that the large and diversified nature of these companies means they often have more pressing issues to deal with.
Greg Jackson, chief executive of challenger supplier Octopus, is sceptical about SSE’s claim that the price cap was a key factor behind the abandonment of its mooted tie-up with Npower.
“The price cap was announced many months before the price cap went ahead, so one would imagine their advisory teams were aware of the price cap long before.”
Efficient suppliers are able to make money by setting tariffs at levels “way below” the price cap, he says. “It’s been set at a level that is entirely deliverable by efficient energy companies.”
He continues: “While in the short run a lot of inefficient energy companies will be complaining about the effects of the price cap, the reality is that if we have an industry less focused on exploiting disengaged customers, we will have an industry that is more trusted.
“There is no need for a company to have prices as high as the cap if they are efficient. It encourages companies to finally get efficient rather than overcharge their customers.” Jackson estimates that around £1,000 is the cut-off point at which suppliers should be able to offer a tariff without losing money.
Smaller companies will be under pressure to axe their most cut-price deals, which many have used to lure customers away from more established competitors, says Hawkins.
It would make sense for such suppliers to allow prices to drift up nearer to the cap level and use their existing customer bases to boost balance sheets. He says: “I would get a bit more market share if I can and see how it pans out over the next year.”
And the cheapest deals are already disappearing. The number of those lower than £1,000 a year plummeted by 90 per cent during the course of 2017, according to Which? The consumer group published figures in the run-up to the price cap’s introduction last week that showed just eight of these cheapest energy deals were still on offer.
Alex Neill, Which? managing director of home products and services, argues that the drying up of these cheapest deals reinforces the need for a more fundamental reform of the energy supply market than the cap.
But Hawkins believes that rising wholesale energy prices have probably been a more important factor than the price cap in the falling number of bargain basement tariffs on offer.
Robert Buckley, head of retail at consultancy Cornwall Insight, agrees. “Those deals would have gone up anyway,” he says.
However, Jackson strikes a positive note about the prospects for switching, observing that in the few days since the cap came into force, its rate of customer acquisition has held up.
The last set of Energy UK switching statistics, published in November, showed engagement still on the rise.
And the next set of figures, which will cover the month of December when levels of switching are historically low because of Christmas, will offer few pointers, believes Buckley.
Jackson argues that the publicity surrounding the cap’s introduction can only fuel SVT customers’ appetite for getting better value for money energy deals, comparing them to workers earning the minimum wage.
“They may know they are not being exploited but they also know they can do a lot better. We will make sure that people know at the level of the price cap that they can do a lot better.
“Without customers switching we wouldn’t have a business and yet almost every reputable energy challenger supports the price cap because we know the use of dodgy ‘tease and squeeze’ deals hides which companies are efficient and which are not
“The price cap restores some sanity to the energy market. They [customers] finally know they are not going to get ripped off: they can engage safely in the market and can see which companies are actually efficient and which one previously relied on dodgy tactics to win new customers.”
However, the cash relief for customers could be relatively short-lived with an update of the level of the cap due in February. This figure, which will then fix the cap for the six months beginning in April, will be informed by the level of wholesale market prices between August and January.
Cornwall’s SVT cap tracker, which estimates the level that Ofgem will set based on the regulator’s own stated methodology, spat out its latest forecast in November.
This calculation, which included October’s spike in wholesale prices, indicated that the level of the cap could increase by up to 10 per cent when it is next updated in February, says Buckley.
Prices have subsequently fallen back again, suggesting that the increase may not be as substantial. Nevertheless, for energy customers, it may not take long for the New Year price cap cheer to rub off.

Disappointing economic data pull down stocks
Published 6:30 am, Tuesday, December 24, 2002
NEW YORK - Stocks fell in a holiday-shortened session today, pulled lower by disappointing data on durable goods orders that renewed fears about the health of the U.S. economy.
On the last shopping day before Christmas, shares of some retailers slumped after Goldman Sachs cut its earnings estimates for a slew of companies. Retailers are poised to log their worst holiday season in three decades.
High oil prices, which pressure corporate earnings and consumers' wallets, also cast a shadow over a market that closed three hours early at 1 p.m. for the Christmas holiday. The possibility of a U.S. war with Iraq also worried investors.
"The market's down a little on thin trading and an early close," said Todd Leone, head of listed trading at S.G. Cowen in New York. "I don't think people are buying anything because of oil, which is up so high, and it's negating the low interest rate environment."
Orders for costly, long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods fell in November, the Commerce Department said, pouring cold water on hopes a long slump in business spending was beginning to ease.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 45.25 points, or 0.53 percent, at 8,448.04, according to the latest figures. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 4.91 points, or 0.55 percent, at 892.47. The technology-laced Nasdaq Composite Index declined 9.18 points, or 0.66 percent, at 1,372.51.

The hefty mill churns out 46.3 BHP and 52 Nm
Pictures and gossips about the Royal Enfield’ upcoming bikes with bigger engines have taken over the internet. A huge number of audience is eagerly anticipating the new machines from the British bikemaker. Reports suggest that this EICMA will see RE unveiling two of its motorcycles. Among them, one has been confirmed to be the cafe racer Continental GT 650 which will be similar to the ongoing lower capacity motorcycle, at least from outside.
Under the sculpted tank, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 will hold a 650cc parallel-twin engine which is capable of churning out 46.3 BHP of power at 7,100 RPM and 52 Nm of peak torque 4,000 RPM. The set up will work in unison with a 6-speed gearbox. To give it a more big bike feel, the company has also installed twin exhaust unit.
Royal Enfield already has a strong fan base in India while its Classic 350 topping the sales chart almost every month for a while now. Gong with that, if the company manages to price it lucratively, the motorcycle may seel like hot cakes. However, we expect the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 to come with all the bells and whistles to enhance its safety quotient and address the fault of the ongoing bikes.
Recently, a video has got viral on the internet which showed Bajaj Dominar 400 chasing the big RE on the Indian roads. After the image-tarnishing which Bajaj did against Royal Enfield in its advertisement, this video was eventually the best answer from the British bikemaker. The new Royal Enfield motorcycle is about to be unveiled at the EICMA and the launch may take place in the first quarter of 2018.

In a recent survey, PayPal found that while online shopping continues to grow in Singapore, 57 percent of consumers hesitate to make online payments due to security concerns.
While e-commerce is on rise in Singapore and is expected to grow to $3.5 billion by 2015, many consumers in the region remain concerned about cybercrime. That's according to PayPal.
In its latest survey, the digital payments company analyzed responses from 1,000 adults in Singapore and found 78 percent of respondents shop online at least once a month and 55 percent prefer mobile payments.
And even though demand for online shopping is increasing, more than half of the consumers surveyed still worry about making purchases online.
Their primary concern? Security. In fact, 57 percent of respondents are concernd that their financial details will be stolen by cyber-criminals and 20 percent say they don't want to disclose their credit card information to a website they have never visited before.
These respondents have even more security concerns when they transact with online merchants overseas.
And yet while online security is the top concern, only 9 percent of respondents have actually been victims of fraud.
"It is interesting to see that while the majority of online shoppers in Singapore have not encountered fraud, there remains a deep concern about becoming a victim of cybercrime," says Rahul Shinghal, country manager for southeast Asia at PayPal, in a release. "This is something we must address so that online shoppers do not need to hold back on making purchases online due to security fears, which stifles the potential for e-commerce to grow."
To make consumers feel safer shopping online, PayPal suggests merchants incorporate policies that protect customers in the event of unauthorized transactions or damaged or undelivered products. PayPal says merchants can also support online transactions that do not require disclosing credit card details to the merchant/website.
And, of course, Shinghal says, merchants should partner with a trusted digital payments provider to give consumers peace of mind.

New, prominent, blockchain platform, Zloadr, explains their uniqueness and how the Esports Metaverse NFT Liquidity Protocol works for stakeholders in Whitepaper
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, November 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — One can hardly dispute the increasing popularity of Zloadr as an all-encompassing marketplace platform for eSports, NFTs and Metaverse competitions. This point was recently brought to bear following the highlight of some of the features and functionalities of the platform in a whitepaper, especially as it concerns liquidity protocol for the different stakeholders.
JP Morgan recently revealed that the NFT market is now worth over $7 billion while stating that “legal issues facing the nascent sector could hinder its growth.” One of such issues has to do with injecting liquidity into otherwise illiquid assets. However, Zloadr seems to have found a way of working around this, judging by their unique liquidity protocol.
“Based on the characteristic skill set of a player, it will determine the cost of the NFT when a team transfer opportunity arises for a player to be sold on. Before a team player transfer can occur, a new player has to be bought to balance the number of players on the selling or buying team. This is to grow possibilities further and encourage new willing owners to continue to trade and purchase players on NFT marketplaces. Our game strategy has been developed to maintain the interest of collectors and stakeholders alike and grow the value of the platform and confidence.”
The unique liquidity protocol adopted by Zloadr remains one of the features that stand the NFT and Metaverse Marketplace platform out from contemporaries. In the whitepaper, Zloadr revealed plans to create and deploy a limited number of unique teams and players to grow and compete in Metaverse competitions and games each year. In a similar vein, every NFT purchase comes with a wide range of possibilities and rewards, including the upgrade of players’ skillset based on a point scoring system that benefits the team’s visibility, resulting in higher earning via sponsorship deals. Each purchase of NFT via Zloadr increases liquidity for stakeholders. Consequently, paying for players with $ZDR results in purchasing discounts and ultimately helps to lower the circulating current supply of $ZDR on exchanges, resulting in higher demand.

Benjamin Gibson, a pharmacist in San Antonio, Texas, makes more than $100,000 a year and owns his own home.
And yet Gibson, 40, struggles to afford basic necessities like groceries and gas.
“When you’re used to spending a few dollars on fruits and vegetables and then paying a lot more, it stresses you out,” he said. “Actually, I went to the dollar store for asparagus.”
With about $5,000 in an emergency fund and no 401(k) plan, Gibson says he weighs every purchase, from dinner to the recent oil change.
“I always cringe when I pay by credit card,” he said.

About 71% of Americans say their paychecks have not been able to keep up with inflation, according to a report by Experian.
In addition, 29% of respondents said They expect to barely make ends meet this month, and about the same number predict their spending will likely exceed their budget in the coming months.
“People are struggling to figure out how to address these challenges,” said Rod Griffin, senior director at Experian. “It’s a big concern.”
About 62% of the US population lives paycheck to paycheck, according to a separate survey by LendingClub.
Even wealthier Americans have a harder time making ends meet. According to a LendingClub survey of 3,250 adults, half of workers earning more than $100,000 said they had little to nothing left at the end of the month.
“The challenge is that they have to use their savings and their safety net to do that, and that can create other problems,” said Simon Blanchard, associate professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business.
“They become financially vulnerable,” he said.
A tight labor market, low unemployment, and historically high savings rates buoyed many Americans into 2022 and made them more willing to pay higher prices for goods and services.
But while wages have risen, they have not kept pace with inflation, which is now rising at the fastest annual pace in about four decades.
Real wages rose 5.6% from a year earlier, while real average hourly wages fell a seasonally adjusted 0.8% last month, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“There’s an assumption that as the cost of goods increases, so does income tend to follow, which isn’t always true,” Blanchard said.
Taylor Byers, 29, was recently appointed director at Boca Communications in San Francisco, but even after the promotion and her raise, she said she’s still struggling to make ends meet.
Byers, who lives in Orange County, California, with her fiancé and works remotely, said all of her income goes to expenses.
“I can’t save at all,” she said, noting that she’s trying to put some money aside for her upcoming wedding.
“A big chunk of my paycheck goes toward rent — probably 40%. I have a car payment, credit card bills, and now gas. Even Netflix costs more; it feels like every single bill has gone up,” she said.
“How are you holding up?”

To rebuild some financial security, Rob Burnette, a financial advisor and CEO of Outlook Financial Center based in Troy, Ohio, advises clients to start with a monthly financial plan that details income and expenses. He then advises them to identify problem spending areas that aren’t a necessity.
“Close those areas completely until you can afford them again,” he said. “You might even find that you don’t miss them when they’re gone.”
In addition, people should begin paying off high-interest credit card debt by switching to an interest-free money transfer credit card or consolidating that expensive debt into a lower-interest home equity loan or personal loan. “Don’t buy items on credit if you can’t pay for them with cash,” he warned.
Also, let the mentality “keep up with the Joneses,” Burnette said, even if that means selling an expensive car or downsizing into a smaller house.
Once you get on track with these changes, you may find that you can start saving a percentage of your monthly income, including an emergency fund and a retirement plan.

San Ramon, CA – Netflix has hired veteran video game manager Mike Verdu to show that video streaming services are poised to expand into yet another fertile entertainment space.
Verdu’s inclusion as Netflix’s vice president of game development, confirmed on Thursday, is due to people trying to maintain last year’s momentum towards video streaming services in an attempt to break the deadlock imposed during the pandemic. ..
Netflix gained 37 million subscribers worldwide last year. This is the largest annual growth rate in its history. But now that the containment of the pandemic has allowed people to return to their normal lives, the landscape has changed dramatically.
Video services sold out in the first three months of the year, saw the lowest subscriber growth in the first quarter in four years, and forecast a modest increase in the spring. Los Gatos, Calif., Will announce April-June results on Tuesday.
With the addition of video games, Netflix can further bolster its nearly 208 million subscribers, which it boasted in late March. Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings comes as a surprise as he has long said that he competes in video games for people’s leisure as well as other video streaming services like Amazon and others. Not. , Hulu, Walt Disney Co., Apple.
Netflix didn’t comment directly on its potential entry into video games, but the company’s announcement of the Verdu title left little doubt as to its intentions. Verdu came to Netflix from Facebook’s Oculus and managed the game for the virtual reality headset manufacturer. He previously worked for video game manufacturers Electronic Arts and Zynga.
The biggest question here is when will Netflix be offering video games and will they charge a separate fee for playing or will they be included in their video streaming service? ..
In a research note, CFRA analyst Tuna Amobi described video games as a logical addition to Netflix’s extensive library of TV series and films, with the final price hike being accepted by most subscribers. I’m done.
Greg Peters, Netflix’s chief operating officer, told investors in April that video games could be another way to attract subscribers who are already immersed in the stories that unfold in the service’s television series and films. Said there was.
“We’re trying to understand all of these different ways we can increase these connection points. We can deepen this fandom, ”said Peters at the time. Verdu reports to Peters about his new job.
Investors appeared to be on the lookout for Netflix’s potential for video games. The company’s share price fell 1%, closing at $ 542.95 on Thursday. While much of the stock market has hit record highs recently, Netflix stocks have fallen 8% from their January high of $ 593.29.
