When the judge deems that a search is unreasonable then the exclusionary rule is applied by the court. The right to be free from unreasonable search and seizures is based on the principle that everyone is entitled to the right to privacy.
Search refers to the examination of the premises of the person to look for sufficient evidence to ensure the arrest and conviction of the offender by a government officer and the Seizure means the act of confiscating any property of a person by an officer under the law which seems to be a piece of relevant evidence for the case.

ILLEGALITIES AND CONSEQUENCES
An illegal or unreasonable search and seizure is an act by a police officer without a search warrant and without any probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime is present. If the evidence procured is without a valid search warrant and does not lie in the exception to the warrant requirement then the evidence may be subject to the exclusionary rule. The exclusionary rule prevents illegally obtained evidence from being admitted in the court of law.
The evidence which is gathered based on the illegally obtained document is known as the fruit of the poisonous tree and will be excluded.
In case of illegal entry, search, seizure or arrest without any reasonable ground of suspicion or when somebody unnecessarily seizes the property of the person on the pretence of searching and seizing for narcotic drug or when a person is arrested without any valid reason then in such cases the punishment is of up to 6 months of imprisonment or fine up to Rs 1000or both can be also levied. In cases somebody maliciously gives false information, leading to search, arrest than in such case the person giving such false information is punishable for imprisonment up to 2 years or fine up to 1000rs or both can be levied
Against an illegal search warrant one can file a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution to return the things seized in the illegal search and seizure and can also file trespassing charges and suit for damages against the person executing the illegal warrant.
In the case of V. S. Kuttan Pillai v. Ramakrishnan[1], the court held that a search of the premises occupied by the accused does not mean, compelling him to give evidence against himself and therefore does not violate Article 20(3) of the Constitution of India
The Court observed in Dinesh Auto Finance v. State[2], that a search warrant under Section 94 can be issued only by District Magistrate, Sub- Divisional Magistrate, or a Magistrate of the First Class and the person authorised to search must be a police officer above the rank of a constable.
In the case of Ramesh vs Laxmi Bai[3], it was held by the court that a son in the custody of his father is not an illegal confinement and therefore search warrant cannot be issued for the same.
In the case of State of Maharashtra vs. Tapas D. Neogy[4], it was noted that bank account is ascertained as property under section 102 of CrPC and the police officer have the power to seize the operation of such bank account in the case where assets have a direct link with the commission of the crime.
In the case of Sadhu Singh vs. State of Punjab[5], it has been stated that in search or inspection of an enclosed area, the public witness should not join, however, an attempt can be made to make them join according to the situations and in cases of reluctancy shown by the public witness to join then genuine attempts should be made.
In the case of M.P Sharma vs. Satish Chandra[6], the issue was regarding the search and seizure to be infringing the fundamental rights or not. The apex court stated that search warrants and seizures are only means of temporary interference with the right to hold premises searched and the articles seized. Hence, the court held the fact that there is no infringement of article 19 or article 20(3) of the Constitution.
The power of the procedure of search and seizure is necessary for the interest of the community and without it, the process of law enforcement officers might suffer to the detriment of public interest. The interests of the people are to be protected against the unreasonable searches and the warrants are to be issued only on a probable cause which must be shown by oath or affirmation and the warrants clearly describe the place, person or thing to be searched or seized. The search and seizure should be according to the law and there should be presence of medico- legal officers as their findings and reports are the basis of the investigation of the crime.

JCPenney to close 3 stores, reduce some inventory
Sales are down for JCPenney, and that's leading to store closures.
Three will be closed by spring as part of the company's ongoing evaluation of its performance, CNBC reports . It has not said which stores that will be.
More information will be given when JCPenney leaders report fourth-quarter earnings at the end of February.
The company's stock has lost more than 67 percent over the past year and recently traded below the $1 mark. Shares closed Tuesday at $1.21.
JCPenney's CEO is former Joanne Stores Chief Jill Soltau, who was named to the position in October 2018. She replaces CEO Marvin Ellison, who left for Lowe's in July 2018.
Analysts say JCPenney is struggling due to unsold inventory, which it plans to reduce in excess of $225 million (8 percent) in 2019, CNBC reports.

Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee in its 25th Year – Consequential and Enduring
Authored by Jane Gray, President, Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee
By Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee
Wed Aug 14, 2013 | 2:37pm
As the SBWPC reaches the quarter century mark, I am proud to say that our venerable organization has not only stood the test of time, but has broadened its mission, strengthened the communities we live in and cultivated its vision. In the next 25 years, we stand poised to make an even larger and more positive impact in local and regional politics by continuing to stay true to our nascent philosophies, ethics and non-partisan politics.
Our underlying tenets do not bend to the capricious and temporal wills of the political times, nor do our members. We are here to stay and we stand by the mission of our organization, "The Santa Barbara Women's Political Committee is dedicated to furthering gender equality and other feminist values through political and social action, and educational activities. As a political action committee, we endorse the candidacies of women and men who actively support our goals and promote a feminist agenda. We are also committed to taking social action against discrimination based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability." We hold true to the letter and the spirit of those fundamental goals.
You see, the SBWPC Board and membership are made up of a far-reaching and diverse group of women and men throughout the County. Our membership and Board represent various ethnicities, gender identities, socio-economic groups, age groups and stations in life. We reflect the totality of the community, and as such, we cannot strive to be myopic, we do not exist to be predictable nor do we desire to be pigeon-holed so that others may feel more comfortable about who we are. Our work is to empower one another, strive for equality and demand excellence of ourselves and the people we elect to represent us.
We are a Non-Partisan, Progressive Political Action Committee and we live our values of gender balance, reproductive rights, immigration reform, economic and environmental justice educational equality and affordable housing – to name but a few. SBWPC has had success for 25 years precisely with this unique formula of self and organization reflection, robust standards and reformist ideals that we put into action. And, with that action, there will always be those who agree and cheer us on and those who are displeased.
While we do have our detractors, the SBWPC is an organization that is relevant, it is compelling and perseveres because we are not deterred or daunted. Over the past two years, our membership has increased by 15%, we have held two successful receptions for elected and appointment women; one in the South County and one in the North County for the 1st female mayors of Guadalupe and Santa Maria and we have record numbers of our member on City and Countywide appointed Boards and Commissions. We welcomed Sandra Fluke to UCSB in a joint effort with the Women's Center, we held a Budget Workshop – The Bottom Line – with Next 10, Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assembly member Das Williams, we had a fun an informative event with Dolores Huerta, and we are gearing up for what promises to be an amazing culmination of 2013 with a Legends Dinner in November. We have supported the campaigns of over 12 candidates who are now serving on elected Boards, Commissions, State and Federally elected seats and are active in developing candidates for the next cycle of elections throughout the cities, county, state and nation.
I am proud to be a part of an organization that wears its mission on its sleeve and that is methodical and thoughtful in its actions. Our mission and membership is engaged and will continue to be highly effective in bringing progressive feminist voices to the table and yielding results that move our community forward.

Charismatic Villages
Rolling Green Hills
An Area of Outstanding Beauty
The Cotswolds comprises a huge area, around 800 square miles that stretches across six English counties from Bath in the south to Stratford on Avon in the north.
Anyone describing the Cotswolds will tell you all about the charismatic stone-built villages. Visiting one of the many honey-coloured villages or historic market towns is like stepping back in time. Much has gone unchanged over the past 300 years. Often described as a 'quintessentially English' experience, be sure to grab a bite to eat and a local beer at one of the traditional pubs.
The golden limestone that characterises the cobbled villages is also responsible for the unique landscapes. The Cotswolds as a whole are designated as an 'Area of Outstanding Beauty'. The unspoilt countryside offers nature lovers rolling hills galore, water-meadows, grasslands and ancient beech woodlands.
The Cotswolds are great for outdoor adventure holidays. Hikers can have their fill with over 3,000 miles of public footpaths and sections of various long-distance trails. Road cyclists will love the abundance of quiet country lanes with magnificent views, and there is some great mountain biking to be had.
The Cotswolds are also home to some stunning historical houses, castles, abbeys and gardens. Don't miss the gardens at Prince Charles's Highgrove. In addition, Warwick Castle, Blenheim Palace, Broughton Castle, Broadway Tower and Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon are well worth a visit, just to name a few…
Lastly, foodies are sure to love the Cotswolds. The area has a great natural larder which serves some of the best restaurants and hotels you will find in the country.
Things to see and do in the Cotswolds:
Hike the Cotswold Way National Trail through 100 miles of England's finest scenery
Explore the region's backroads by bike, cycling from village to village on quiet and largely traffic free routes
Ascend Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds, which stands at 1,083ft tall
Visit Broadway Tower, a beautiful folly designed by Capability Brown and Jame Wyatt

Man Fu Yuan has consistently been my go-to for impeccable Chinese meals and there's no reason not to celebrate the most important Chinese festival (Chinese New Year) with them. To ensure a year of good fortune, 捞 into a glittery pot of gold with Man Fu Yuan's black truffle yusheng with deep sea red crab, crispy silver bait fish and fresh fruits like melon and jackfruit.
All that gold may be for show but we could do with some auspicious beginnings for sure. Plus it made the treasure hunt for the prized crab meat a lot more challenging with the blinding glitter.
What's a proper CNY meal without some delicacy like a Chilled Marinated South African Fresh Abalone in half shell, dressed with a lightly sweet Goma sesame dressing. Served on a specially carved block of ice, the gelatinous and crunchy meat remained fresh as we slowly savored the sweet flesh.
Next, a rich and nutritious Double Boiled Chicken and Korean Ginseng Soup, complete with fish maw and bamboo pith, was served. You can expect instant rejuvenation from just one sip but we could certainly do with a pot of this.
Braised Sea Cucumber and Fish Maw in Superior Brown Sauce. More nutrients for the skin!
A western take on a typical Chinese dish- Steamed fillet of Star Garoupa in a consommé of lobster and luffa gourd. Light flavors in this one. We thought the consommé would do well on its own too.
Our choice of protein is no doubt the Steamed Boston Lobster with egg white and Chinese rice wine consommé. Very traditional Cantonese style of cooking that allowed the sweetness of the meat to come through. Plus the rice wine provided a delicious aroma to the dish.
Best Pen Cai of the year goes to Man Fu Yuan's Supreme Treasure Pot. We can't stop salivating over the plump pearly scallop, tender abalone, juicy prawn, boneless stewed chicken stuffed with rice, and their famous preserved sausages!
Of course, my all time favorite- Barbecued Whole Suckling Pig with Glutinous Rice.
Thankfully this piggy is available all year round but CNY is just a good excuse to feast on this one.
This is definitely my preferred choice of carb. I always have a few servings of their fluffy sticky rice with generous chunks of preserved sausages. Plus the crispy crackling and tender juicy pork are simply irresistible.
Round up dinner with the Double-boiled Hashima with Eight Treasure Tea. If there's anything to fault, the deep fried Almond puff pastry that accompanies the dessert was too oily. Plus I really dislike the Chinese almond paste as a dessert but that's just me.
Impeccable dishes for a perfect reunion. Head on down to Man Fu Yuan this Chinese New Year.

The story of the Cannabis Commerce Association of Canada (CCAC) began in late 2015, when three of CCAC's founding board members- Jaclynn Pehota, Philip Kwong, and Ian Dawkins- first began politically organizing cannabis businesses in Vancouver. Their proto-organization, the Cannabis Retailers, Distributors, and Growers' Association, or CARDAGAN, was founded in November 2015, in order to begin lobbying the City of Vancouver to reconsider some of the negative side effects of the City of Vancouver's new Medical Marijuana-Related Usage bylaw.
CARDAGAN quickly grew to approximately 100 member businesses in early 2016, and the founding representatives of the association have been able to leverage that grassroots voice in order to act as informed stakeholder representatives in conversation with government and regulatory officials. CARDAGAN members have met with government officials at the municipal, provincial, and federal level, including the Premier of B.C., and have also worked with regulated entities in Colorado, all in an effort to develop and advocate a sound, evidence-based policy for regulating craft cannabis businesses.
In an effort to continue their project of unifying the craft cannabis business community into a cohesive trade association, CARDAGAN's founding members have come together once again to found the CCAC: a national, democratic, and representative trade association for craft cannabis producers and retailers.
We at CCAC know that this is both an exciting and confusing time for the cannabis industry, and that many people are uncertain what comes next for them and their business. If you have questions about joining our association, or what it means for your business, please do not hesitate to contact us!
From his first job working as the national affairs policy analyst for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business in 2008, Ian Dawkins has spent the last decade deeply immersed in government relations, business policy, and regulatory affairs. Subsequent roles with other trade associations and industry organizations, including a year-long posting with the B.C. Utilities Commission, have given him a wide range of experience in both communication and policy development.
Jaclynn Pehota lends CCAC her very valuable experience in governing trade associations, with a background in executive management with the Insurance Brokers' Association of BC, in addition to executive experience with Bell Mobility. However, she also has a deep history in the cannabis activist community, including work with Sensible BC, and is personally deeply committed to ensuring a free and fair marketplace for craft cannabis.

Donald Thompson (born March 30, 1963) is an American engineer and business executive who was the president and chief executive of McDonald's Corporation from 2012 until 2015. He announced on January 28, 2015 that he would retire from the company and leave his position on March 1, 2015 and was succeeded by Steve Easterbrook, the senior executive vice president and chief brand officer. He is currently the CEO of Cleveland Avenue, an investment group and accelerator that focuses on building new food, beverage, and restaurant concepts, which he founded in 2015. Cleveland Avenue has invested in Beyond Meat and Taste 222, among other food industry companies, and Thompson has served as a member of the board of directors at Beyond Meat since October 2015.

Early life
Thompson, who was born in Chicago, grew up near the Cabrini–Green housing project and was a bright student who started the sixth grade at the age of 10. In seventh grade he began carrying a briefcase to school. Because of gang violence and crime that began to spread through the area in the late 1960s and 1970s, he was later moved by his grandmother to live with relatives in Indianapolis, where he attended North Central High School.

Thompson is a graduate of Purdue University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1984 in electrical engineering. He also holds an honorary doctorate from Excelsior College. Thompson is a brother of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.

Career
Thompson is an electrical engineer by profession. He joined McDonald's in 1990 after working for a military aircraft manufacturer that is now part of Northrop Grumman. At McDonald's, Thompson designed robotic equipment for food transport and made control circuits for cooking. Thompson received a call from a McDonald's recruiter who was looking for an engineer to design "robotics, control circuitry and feedback loops". He eventually accepted an invitation to visit the McDonald's headquarters in suburban Chicago by an engineer working there.  Soon after the visit he was hired and enrolled in  the company's Black Career Development program, classes that McDonald's has held since the 1970s both to educate all employees about cultural differences and to help minorities navigate its corporate culture.

Having started his career at McDonald's in 1990, Thompson quickly rose on the corporate ladder. By 1992, he was promoted to Project Manager and Staff Director for the Quality Development department. He then switched over to Operations in 1994, spending his first six months learning the basics on how to manage a "McDonald's" restaurant by working at a South Chicago restaurant, moving up from fry cook to shift manager, then assistant manager and then co-manager.

By 1998, Thompson was promoted to regional manager for the San Diego, California Region and oversaw 350 restaurants. He was next promoted to Senior Vice President of the Midwest Division, where he oversaw 2,200 restaurants. A subsequent promotion resulted in his becoming president of the West Division, giving him responsibility for 4,000 restaurants.

By January 2005, Thompson, now an Executive Vice President, began to serve as Chief Operations Officer (COO) of all US restaurants. On August 23, 2006, he became the President of McDonald's USA and McDonald's Restaurants of Canada. In 2007, Thompson stepped into the role of Chief Operating Officer for the global corporation, and on July 1, 2012, he became President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of McDonald's Corp, succeeding outgoing CEO, the retiring Jim Skinner. However Thompson was not the first choice as successor, he was third having won the position when executives Michael Roberts and Ralph Alvarez left McDonald's in 2006 and 2009 respectively.

Due to a 4.1 percent decline in customer traffic in 2014, Thompson announced that he was stepping down from his CEO position effective March 1, 2015.

In 2014, Thompson and his wife co-founded the nonprofit organization, The Cleveland Avenue Foundation for Education, and in 2015, the food and beverage venture capital firm, Cleveland Avenue LLC. Both of these names pay homage to the Chicago street where he and his wife grew up. One of their nonprofit organization's largest initiatives is called The 1954 Project, which launched in 2020, and seeks to give $100M to help Black educators.

In November 2015, it was announced that Thompson joined the board of directors of vegan meat alternative company Beyond Meat.

Thompson also serves on the board of directors of Ronald McDonald House Charities, Catalyst, and Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He is also a member of Purdue University's board of trustees.

I am new to elasticsearch and I want to import a json file to elasticsearch/kibana.The json file is the output of a wireshark pcap data traffic capture.As I understand i should do a mapping for this file before being able to use _bulk(curl) to import it to elasticsearch. I read some sample for doing the mapping like the below document, but it is not still clear for me how to do this with my own file:

I would be thankful if someone can show me the best way to proceed.

A: One of the benefits of ES is that mapping in a great number of the cases is done automatically. So, you can try to do it and see if the types that it assigns to your keys are the same ones that you were expecting.
Basically, you need to build a request that meet the requirements presented in the ES documentation.
TL;DR
curl -X POST "localhost:9200/_bulk?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{ "index" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "1" } }
{ "field1" : "value1" }
{ "delete" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "2" } }
{ "create" : { "_index" : "test", "_id" : "3" } }
{ "field1" : "value3" }
{ "update" : {"_id" : "1", "_index" : "test"} }
{ "doc" : {"field2" : "value2"} }
'

This answer might help too.

Japan is country that has always stood out for its advanced technologies, workaholic society, and their amazingly healthy population. Like seriously, Japan is a really healthy country. Their life expectancy is a staggering 84 years, compared to America's 76 years.
Japan has given a lot to the world. Pokémon, Sony Walkman, Nintendo, Robots, Digital Camera and some mind blowing secrets to healthy living. People in Japan live up to 100 years without considering it an extra ordinary feat. What is truly amazing is how the Japanese women stay slim throughout their lives, and never seem to age. Their striking, porcelain skin that seems to never have aged is a thing of beauty.
But how do they manage it? What is it they do that allows them live achieve what would be every woman's dream? Well, we've got you covered.
This is like the most obvious reason. Food plays a very important part in our health. The Japanese women eat better food than the Americans. While Americans want food portions that are worth their money, Japanese are easily satisfied with food portions that might be mistaken for a child's meal here.
And it's not just how much they eat, it is also WHAT they eat. They enjoy a home cooked meal on a daily basis, as compared to regular take out. A typical breakfast could include a small serving of steamed rice, miso soup with tofu, sheets of nori seaweed, an egg omelette or piece of fish, and a cup of green tea.
They include a cup of green tea with almost every meal, racking up those antioxidants. Plus, green tea has been shown to aid in weight loss. The Japanese consume almost 10 percent of the world's fish. This daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids may well explain why they live long and healthy lives. That, and the fact they consume 5 times the amount of cruciferous vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, kale, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, that Americans do.
A lot of reasons why Japanese women and the entire population in general lives such a healthy life can be attributed to their lifestyle. The Japanese lifestyle is built in a way that promotes exercise. Not the kind of exercise where people pump their bodies in a gym, but the kind where you are exercising without even realizing.
A lot people walk or cycle to their destinations rather than drive to it. It's because the country's infrastructure isn't built in a way to support driving everywhere. People usually use public transport to reach their destination, which means having to walk to the nearest station.With so much walking or cycling going on, is it a surprise that they remain so slim.
Who knew that the thing to change your lives and fulfill your dreams would be a hot bath. The Japanese take their bath seriously. Just ask anyone who has been to a Japanese public bath house.
A hot bath calms you down, relaxes your muscles and naturally improves the blood circulation. Taking a hot bath at least twice a month cleanses your skin and improves digestion.
But it isn't enough just to have a hot bath. It is imperative that you get the temperature and the level just right. Japanese women get the water level to the level of the heart; the ideal temperature being between 100? – 104 ?.
The American society is a champion of individualism and non-conformity. Americans are confident of their uniqueness and take pride in standing out. Which is why being a fat person in America is nothing weird. They do not feel as if they are alienated from the society. So whenever someone points out that you are fat, you feel hurt rather than take advice and do something about it.
Japanese society is more about conformity and fitting in. There is an immense pressure to be healthy in this society. Therefore many women become self conscious about their weight and do everything to control it. Basically, the horror of being unhealthily fat strikes Japanese earlier than their American counterparts.
In Japan, you do not do anything else while eating. No TV, no work. Families gather around a table on which a variety of dishes are spread all over, to compensate for the quantity of food and to provide varied nutrition. Cleanliness and presentation of food too form an essential part of Japanese food eating.
They also eat slower, giving their stomach to process food and signal their brains that it is full. Chopsticks actually play a role of hindering the amount and speed at which people intake food. Slower eating means your stomach has time to tell you 'enough', compared to the speedy binge eating of Americans where it's already too late by the time your stomach is able to process food and signal you, resulting in over eating.
Women in Japan indulge regularly in face massages, both in spas and at home. It prevents premature aging and improves blood circulation to the face. If you are too lazy to put in the effort, you could try using a face brush to the work.
Facial oils are very popular in Japan as they contain vitamins and are good at keeping toxins out while retaining moisture.
Using food ingredients to naturally enhance beauty is an old age tradition in Japan. Women use red beans known as Adzuki to exfoliate and brighten up their skin. Applying this mask gently can rid your skin of blemishes.
Vitamin C also forms an important part of Japanese women's beauty routine. Adding vitamin C to your diet helps to break up melanin and remove pigmentation which means you get an even complexion.
Fish, which is staple in their diets, provides them with a glowing skin along with other health benefits. Green tea also greatly benefits the body. Racked up with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory elements which keeps the skin younger looking, Japanese women also apply it directly to their face to treat acne.

Dominello shifts into reverse on reasons for digital driver's licence delays
By Justin Hendry on Oct 10, 2019 6:58AM
Platform stability issues a wrong turn.
Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello has backed away from previous claims that stability issues with NSW's digital driver's licence were the cause of delays to the planned state-wide rollout previously slated for August.
Dominello told budget estimates last month that the concerns had forced the government to delay the full launch of the electronic vehicle licence, which is now expected to go live in "late 2019".
"We had to make sure that the systems were ready to go. I was not confident that they were ready to go at that point," he told a budget estimates hearing in September.
Asked to detail his concerns with the electronic vehicle licence, Dominello said "just stability in relation to the system".
But in answers to questions on notice from budget estimates published this week, Dominello appeared to ditch this explanation.
"There is no existing stability issue with the DDL [digital driver licence]. Remaining effort is focused on assuring readiness for state-wide launch," he said.
He said the platform behind the digital pass had "proven to be highly stable throughout the extensive pilots", which have taken place in three metropolitan and regional locations over the last two years.
Dubbo was the first regional city to take part in the trial in late 2017, followed by Sydney's Eastern Suburbs last year and the border city of Albury earlier this year.
However, the trials are currently only catering for a fraction of the 750,000 drivers expected to take up the DDL in the first 12 months after the state-wide launch.
Ahead of that influx, Dominello said the department had been working to "understand potential failure points", though did not say if this had occurred in the weeks since the rollout was pushed back.
"The DDL will become an important service for customers and the level of customer demand for new services can fluctuate significantly on launch," he said.
"The DDL also interacts with a range of ICT infrastructure and systems, each of which is subject to varying patterns of demand.
"Accordingly there is an appropriate level of focus and assurance being undertaken prior to launch to understand potential failure points, load limits and to ensure appropriate mitigation plans are in place should they be required."
Since the government began trialing the DDL program in late 2017, more than 14,000 citizens already using the digital driver's licence for police checks and to gain access to pubs and clubs in the trial areas.
While participants of the pilot are still required to carry their physical driver's licence, the full rollout will see citizens able to produce either a digital or physical version of their licence when requested.
The DDL project has cost the government $14.65 million to date, which Dominello said includes "investment in base capabilities to be leveraged by government in the future".
The platform is just one of Service NSW's projects that are built on AWS.

What is a Beyond Meat burger worth to hungry investors?
By Reuters •et; last updated: 25/06/2019

By Noel Randewich
SANFRANCISCO (Reuters) – U.S. consumers hankering for one of Beyond Meat Inc's faux-meat burgers can pick one up at the grocery store for about $3 a patty.
That is a fraction of what they are going for on Wall Street, where investors looking to get a serving of the food producer's sizzling stock appear to be laying down the equivalent of more than $50 a burger.
Nailing down just how much Beyond Meat is worth is one of the hottest topics on Wall Street following a nearly 500% surge in its stock since its initial public offering on May 2.
The company has attracted investors betting it will become the dominant player in the nascent market for plant-based hamburgers, sausages and other meat alternatives, even though the company has yet to turn a profit.
With ground beef retailing in grocery stores for the equivalent of $1 or less per 4-ounce (113 gram) burger patty, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Beyond Meat's early success in grocery store meat sections shows a market exists for premium-priced burger products made with or without animal.
At nearly $9 billion (£7.09 billion), Beyond Meat's market capitalisation rivals several mature food companies. Poultry producer Pilgrim's Pride checks in at $6 billion, for instance, while Campbell Soup Co sports a stock market value of $12 billion.
So far, the Wall Street establishment does not see that price tag as justified. The eight analysts covering the stock have price targets ranging from 11% to 46% below Beyond Meat's current share price of around $144, following its recent rally.
Preferred valuation measures like the price to earnings ratio are not useful because Beyond Meat is losing money and is unlikely to record a profit for at least another year or so.
Meanwhile, the stock is trading at 38 times this year's Wall Street revenue estimate, making it more expensive on that basis than all but a handful of U.S. stocks even as it faces competition from larger, profitable rivals including Nestle, the world's largest packaged foods group.

PATTIESPERSHARE?
Beyond Meat is increasing sales of its Beyond Sausage and other products, but the Beyond Burger remains its flagship offering.
The company sold 15.2 million pounds of food last year, equivalent to 61.0 million 4-ounce patties, the weight of the Beyond Burger sold in supermarkets. That puts the company's current market capitalization at the equivalent of $143 per Beyond Burger patty sold last year.
Analysts on average expect Beyond Meat's revenue to surge 152% this year to $221 million, according to Refinitiv.
Conservatively assuming no price increases, it would be on track to sell 153 million patties in 2019, making its current stock market value equivalent to $57 per 4-ounce patty sold in 2019.
A Beyond Meat spokesperson declined to give details on sales of specific products or the weight of its burgers sold through restaurants.
While investors do not typically value companies by comparing stock prices to unit sales, the high price they are paying – at least in terms of burger patties – to own a stake in Beyond Meat's future signals a lofty valuation, even as competition grows.
Impossible Foods has started selling its Impossible Burgers through restaurants including Burger King, Red Robin and Applebee's. Meat processor Tyson Foods this month launched its first vegetarian and mixed-protein products, including a beef and pea burger. Nestle and Canada's Maple Leaf Foods Inc are launching their own competing patties and vegan "ground beef" in coming months.
"I would never bet against America's love affair with burgers," said Bob Goldin, a partner at food industry consulting company Pentallect. "Even if they chip off 1 or 2% of the market it's big business. But competition is coming."

Many women admit that the dreaded weigh-in at the doctor's office has led them to put off crucial appointments.
Women and their physicians "have a long way to go" to address the risk and symptoms of heart disease, and 35 percent of women between the ages of 50 and 60 don't know it's the No. 1 killer in the United States, according to a new study.
The survey of 1,011 women, conducted by the American College of Cardiology, spotlighted a clear problem: If you aren't aware of the seriousness of heart disease, you're less likely to spot the symptoms.
Forty-five percent of the respondents between the ages of 25 and 60 were unaware just how deadly heart disease is in America, according to the study. People of all ages can get the disease. Every year 1 in 4 deaths are linked to heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The study also asked the women if they ever canceled or postponed a doctor's appointment. Sixty-three percent said they did. Furthermore, 45 percent of all respondents said they delayed an appointment because they first wanted to lose weight.
"Campaigns should make CVD [cardiovascular disease] 'real' to U.S. women, countering stereotypes with facts and validated assessments," the survey concluded.
The report noted that a majority of physicians surveyed did not mention heart disease among their top health concerns for women. This highlights the need to be vigilant, to ask your doctor about heart disease and to raise an alert about possible symptoms.

Nanci Bell, M.A., is co-founder and director of Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes. Bell received her B.A. in Elementary Education and her M.A. in Education, specializing in Reading, from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. She began as a classroom teacher and then worked in private practice where she gained extensive experience in the treatment of language and literacy disorders.
Interested in finding solutions, and believing that Concept Imagery is a critical factor in language comprehension and analytical thinking, she developed specific steps to stimulate concept imagery. She later applied that research to the development of her program to improve reading fluency and accuracy. In 1986, Bell and Patricia Lindamood founded Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes.
"If we measure sensory-cognitive processing, differentiate the diagnosis, and provide instruction to develop the sensory input of imagery, students can become independent in language and literacy skills. It is inaccurate to suggest that a reading disability is lifelong and cannot be changed. If the brain can change, the behaviors can change."

Q: Why does $x/ln(x+1)$ = Something that includes factorials? So, I was doing some work when I saw I had to expand $\frac{x}{ln(1+x)}$
I know that expanding $ln(x+1) = \sum_{n=1}^  \infty [\frac{x^{2n-1}}{2n-1}-\frac{x^{2n}}{2n}] = \frac{x^1}{1}-\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^4}{4}+\frac{x^5}{5}-\frac{x^6}{6}+\frac{x^7}{7}-\frac{x^8}{8} ...$
But I got stuck when I had to divide $x$ by it.
I had to calculate the value of $\frac{x}{ \frac{x^1}{1}-\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{x^4}{4}+\frac{x^5}{5}-\frac{x^6}{6}+\frac{x^7}{7}-\frac{x^8}{8} ...}$
So I divided each term individually, and got :
$\frac{x}{x^1} - \frac{2x}{x^2}+\frac{3x}{x^3} - \frac{4x}{x^4}+\frac{5x}{x^5} - \frac{6x}{x^6}+\frac{7x}{x^7} - \frac{8x}{x^8}...$
When I checked on Wolfram Alpha, I got a totally different answer as shown in the link or below.
I definitely know I did something wrong, but I can't seem to identify it.
(Or in other words, what did I do wrong?)
P.S. I have a weird feeling that I did something wrong when dividing it from x.

A: Hint: Is $\frac 2{1+1} = \frac 21+\frac 21$?
Edit:
I'm not sure if there is a way to directly find whole Taylor expansion (I've glanced at the link JeanMarie provided in the comments and it seems it doesn't do it either, please correct me if I'm wrong). But there are ways to find Taylor polynomial up to any degree we desire.
Let $$\frac x{\ln(1+x)} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n,\quad \frac{\ln(1+x)}x = \sum_{n=0}^\infty b_nx^n.$$
Then we have $$\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n\right)\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty b_nx^n\right) = 1$$
and we can compare coefficients of the left and right hand sides to get
\begin{align}
a_0b_0 &= 1\\
a_1b_0+a_0b_1 &= 0\\
a_2b_0+a_1b_1+a_0b_2 &= 0\\
&\ \ \vdots\\
a_nb_0+a_{n-1}b_1+\ldots a_1b_{n-1}+a_0b_n &= 0
\end{align}
Since we know all $b_n$, we can find $a_n$ recursively.
For example, if we want to find $a_n$ up to $n = 2$, we have:
\begin{align}a_0\cdot 1 = 1&\implies a_0 = 1\\
a_1\cdot 1+a_0\cdot\left(-\frac 12\right) = 0&\implies a_1 = \frac 12\\
a_2\cdot 1 + a_1\cdot \left(-\frac 12\right) + a_0\cdot \frac 13 = 0&\implies a_2 =-\frac 1{12}\end{align}
Another way to do the same thing is to calculate in quotient ring:
\begin{align}\frac x{x-x^2/2 + x^3/3+\ldots} + O(x^3)
 &= \frac{1}{1-x/2 + x^2/3} + O(x^3)\\
&=\left[\text{geometric series}\right]\\
&= \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(\frac x2-\frac{x^2}3\right)^n + O(x^3)\\
&= 1 + \left(\frac x2-\frac{x^2}3\right) + \left(\frac x2-\frac{x^2}3\right)^2 + O(x^3)\\
&= 1 + \left(\frac x2-\frac{x^2}3\right) + \left(\frac {x^2}4- 2\cdot\frac{x}{2}\cdot\frac{x^2}3 + \frac{x^4}9\right) + O(x^3)\\
&= 1 +\frac x2 + \left(-\frac 1 3 + \frac 14\right)x^2+O(x^3)\\
&= 1 +\frac x2 -\frac {x^2}{12}+O(x^3)\end{align}

EU car emissions on target
Research reveals that Europe is well on course to reach its target of 130g/km by 2015, with a number of brands hitting the mark early. 30% of new cars are now classed as 'low carbon'.
Research from JATO Dynamics shows that average emissions of new cars sold in Europe has dropped by 3.4% from 140.9 g/km in 2010 to 136.1 g/km in 2011, and should meet the 2015 target of 130g/km by the European Commission.
Research from JATO Dynamics shows that average emissions of new cars sold in Europe has dropped by 3.4% from 140.9 g/km in 2010 to 136.1 g/km in 2011, and should meet the 2015 target of 130g/km set by the European Commission.
Eight car manufacturers have already achieved the 2015 target, with Italian car manufacturers Fiat topping the list with an average CO2 level of 118.2g/km over its entire fleet. Seat come in second place with an average of 125.2g/km, and in a very close third Citroen with 125.3g/km.
Gareth Hession, vice president for research at JATO said, "Manufacturers have a need to meet emissions targets as well as to sell their larger, more profitable vehicles. With three years to go to meet the 2015 targets there is clearly a challenge for them in achieving this balancing act.
"Manufacturers active in large and performance car segments continue to come under pressure to do more to reduce emissions. However, we can't forget the progress that's been made, such as Ferrari, which has already reduced its average emissions by more than 25% since 2007."
The biggest overall improvement was from Lexus, whose 28% reduction has been accredited to the introduction of a new smaller hybrid model.
Looking at the country stats, Portugal comes out top with the lowest average emission of 122.7g/km, down 4.6% from 2010. A further six countries (Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, France, Ireland and Italy) have also achieved emissions of below 130 g/km well before the 2015 deadline. The most improved country is Greece who just missed out on the target but who saw a 9.9% reduction.
At the other end of the list is Switzerland—the only country on the list to have average emissions of over 150 g/km. Germany and Slovakia are also lounging at the bottom of the table. The UK has seen a 6% decrease in the past year, but carbon emissions sit at a very average 138g/km, so still work to do.
Walking or cycling instead of jumping in the car is a sure-fire way of reducing your own carbon emissions even if you do drive a Fiat. You could also consider offsetting your carbon if you need to travel by air – it's cheaper than you think. Find out more here.

Discussion in 'iPhone' started by TH55, Jan 14, 2015.
I initially bought a 6 a few months ago from the Apple Online Store through the AT&T NEXT plan and I went to return it on the 15th day thinking it was the 14th day (I thought it was 14 days from the date of receipt) and the Apple Store wouldn't accept it. I then called AT&T who said they were perfectly happy to return it for me and to send it back to them.
Apparently this employee was misinformed and I was supposed to send it back to Apple. However, upon calling Apple they said the device had been paid for by AT&T and was in my/AT&T's hands now. I called AT&T again and they said the return had been processed and I was only being charged for one phone. Did I just get a free phone or will it eventually come to their attention?
It is 14 days from the date on the receipt. If you bought the phone on 1/14 it would have to be returned on or before 1/28.
Only time will tell. Nobody here can tell you if you will be charged or not. Why not cal ATT and confirm.
back with the 3GS i had something similar happen with rogers in canada.
i got a replacement iPhone 3GS from rogers, sent the old one back. 3 months later they sent me back the original stating "this is not a rogers phone" -- no mention of sending back the replacement they sent.
i sold it to my cousins gf at the time for some nice cash.
funny how it was the same phone i did an upgrade with just months before that.
No the day of receipt is day 1, so it's 13 days from that day. I know, completely misleading, I was pissed. It must happen all the time bc most people wait til the last possible day to return things to have as much time to make their decision as possible.
Just got off the phone w AT&T. Apparently the current phone I have and have been using (I ended up buying another iPhone 6 weeks later after realizing the 4S was too small and slow now) I am not being charged for. The IMEI number, AT&T's unique identifier, for this phone is not the same as the one of the phone I am paying for. The phone I am being charged for is the original one that was sent back to me. I am not paying for the new phone, I wonder if this was just a mistake in paperwork and they mixed the two up somehow? I feel like I should've kept my mouth shut and enjoyed getting lucky, or do you think I wouldve eventually gotten charged for the newer one? The only thing I feel like really needed to be confirmed was that my AppleCare was under my current phones IMEI/serial #.
I just checked the receipt from the iPhone I purchased on 1/7 and it says the return date is 1/21. That's 14 days, not counting the first day.
This actually made me look at my receipt. Mine was purchased on 12/22 from apple. My return date says January 5, 2015, but 1 day earlier if purchased with a carrier plan.
So it is 14 days, but 13 if bought with a plan.
The answer to your question is: Maybe you got a "free" phone, due to error, maybe you didn't. Really isn't a way for anyone here to tell you if the error will be caught; that's going to depend on whether the device itself gets tracked and the account linked to audited. I would say there is a decent chance of you ending up with a free phone. I won't say what the right thing to do here is though; I think you know.
Considering AT&T was misinformed once, I still wouldn't be terribly surprised if they were misinformed a second time (and thus will actually bill you for the full MSRP of the device).
Yeah. Being a pretty moral person, conscience took over and I called back to further investigate - it turns out there is no record of it. It is on file that I have now tried several times to return the phone but the management couldn't seem to figure it out and said happy new year! Looks like I got a free phone!! I still feel slightly guilty but I'm a pretty loyal customer, every now and then you get lucky . How much are they going for, what could I get for it on eBay?
How much are they going for, what could I get for it on eBay?
That seems like a pretty easy thing for you to check out yourself.
update: i guess you did try your best to rectify the error and with a clean conscience. you did the right thing and it's up to ATT then. happy new year.
Hopefully it doesn't get blacklisted after you sell it.
Yeah, like they wouldn't be able to activate it?
The carrier can list the phone as blacklisted meaning it will not work on any U.S. Networks. I'm unsure if activation can or would ever be a problem since the phone is technically unlocked.
The carrier can list the phone as blacklisted meaning it will not work on any U.S. Networks. I'm unsure if activation can or would ever be a problem since the phone is technically unlocked. I wouldn't be as worried about this as you just flat out being billed for the phone but that's based in no evidence other than my gut lol.
Yeah, worst case scenario. Is the old original phone still pre-loaded with or attached to my number in any way? Like when whoever I sell it to goes to activate it will it de-activate my number?
That I couldn't tell you for sure. I would assume not because a system like that would be rather stupid way for their system to work lol.
I think you have went above and beyond to be helpful to Apple and AT&T.
Use the phone you were sent back to not worry about black list issues. Sell the phone you were currently using.
Meaning the phone I am using could be blacklisted if they discover it is unaccounted for?
I think the point is that AT&T can blackslist either phone if they discover it is unaccounted for. Whether they will or not is the question. This is such a unique situation that I hardly expect anyone would be able to give you a definitive answer lest they be fairly high up the food chain with AT&T.


Ryan Getzlaf provided one of the best World Junior performances by a Ducks player in 2005.
Ducks fans are going to want to keep a very close eye on Team Sweden at this year's World Junior Hockey Championships. In total, three Ducks prospects will be suiting up for the Swedes including 2012 1st round pick Hampus Lindholm, and 2011 picks Rickard Rakell and William Karlsson, all of whom are expected to play huge roles for the defending gold medalists.
However, this won't be the first time the Ducks will have had a strong presence at the World Juniors. Over the years, Anaheim prospects have produced some excellent individual performances on the international junior hockey stage. Here's a look back at some of the more impressive performances by Ducks players at the beloved U20 tournament.
The 1993 World Junior Hockey Championship certainly wasn't short on storylines. Czechoslovakia dissolved into two separate nations in the middle of tournament, the former Soviet Union competed as Russia for the first time, and Peter Forsberg set a tournament record with 24 assists and 31 points in just seven games. In the end however, it was Team Canada, led by Paul Kariya, who captured gold in the then entirely round-robin based tournament.
Kariya, playing in his second World Juniors, had 2 goals and 6 assists through Canada's seven games, good for second on team scoring and was named to the tournament All-Star team. His stand-out performance in Canada's 5-4 win over Sweden early in the tournament would prove to be crucial as the two teams ended up tied in the final standings. The win would be used at the tie-breaker, giving Canada the gold medal, while Sweden claimed silver, and Kariya would cement himself as one of the most exciting Canadian players in hockey.
Kariya went on to play nine seasons for the Ducks, recording over 650 points, including two 100+ point seasons in '96 and '99 and represented Canada at two World Championships and two Olympic games.
The World Junior Hockey Championships have long had a rich history of outstanding goaltending peformances over the years. From Justin Pogge's record setting three shutouts in 2006 to Benjamin Conz's incredible workhorse performance for the over-matched Swiss team in 2010, there is rarely a shortage of incredible goalie story lines at the U20 tournament. However, statistically speaking, it's hard to argue that Ilya Bryzgalov's work at the 2000 tournament is amongst the very best.
Entering the tournament as the lesser known of the two Russian goalies, Bryzgalov pushed highly regarded Alexei Volkov early, eventually splitting time with him as the tournament wore on and inevitably was awarded the starting role in the gold medal game against the Czech Republic. Bryzgalov was perfect through three periods in the game before eventually losing in a shootout, but posted a microscopic 0.77 GAA and spectacular .971 SV% in four games throughout the tournament. In total, Bryzgalov stopped 102 of 105 shots in 234 minutes of work and was statistically the best goalie by a wide margin. Despite a somewhat controversial decision to name USA's Rick DiPietro the best goaltender that year, the numbers Bryzgalov put up will stand as some of the best ever seen at the annual event.
Bryzgalov joined the Ducks in 2001, but a deep pipeline of goalies in the Anaheim system at the time made it almost impossible for him to lock down consistent playing time. He was waived in 2007 and picked up by the Phoenix Coyotes, where he cemented himself as a starting goalie in the NHL before signing with the Flyers in 2011.
The circumstances surrounding the 2005 World Junior Hockey Championships are well documented. Due to the 2004/2005 NHL lockout, the crop of young players available to Canada was the best the nation had ever seen, including names like Sidney Crosby, Dion Phaneuf, Jeff Carter, and Mike Richards. Combine this talent pool with the high profile Crosby versus Ovechkin storyline, and the 2005 tournament had all the makings for one of the best ever.
Among the group of Canadian elite was Anaheim's 19th overall pick in 2003, Ryan Getzlaf, who played the wing on Canada's top offensive line. Alongside Jeff Carter and Andrew Ladd, Getzlaf dominated the tournament offensively, scoring 12 points in just 6 games and finishing second in tournament scoring behind team mate Patrice Bergeron. However, his most impressive performance came when it mattered most, in the final game against the Russians, where Getzlaf had a goal and 2 assists in a 6-1 victory, propelling his team to a gold medal.
The story of Getzlaf's post-tournament career is no secret to NHL fans. In seven seasons with the Ducks, Getzlaf has 470+ points, a Stanley cup ring, and has captained the team since 2010. He has also represented Canada at the World Championships and Olympics in 2010, where he won gold alongside several of the players from the historic 2005 World Junior team.
To say that Max Friberg did it all at the 2012 World Junior Hockey Championships would be an understatement. The Swede scored 9 goals, added 2 assists, racked up 22 PIMS and led his team to a gold medal, all in just six games. With all the high profile players representing Sweden that year including 1st round picks Mika Zibanejad, Oscar Klefbom and Filip Forsberg, the early dominance Friberg exhibited was, to say the least, surprising. However, after the Ducks 5th round selection in 2011 finished the tournament 1st in goal scoring, 2nd in overall points and was named a First-Team All-Star, he had the junior hockey world believing it wasn't a fluke.
Today, Friberg has yet to make the jump to North America, instead electing to play for Timra in the SEL. In his second season with the team, Friberg has 12 points in 32 games. He signed an entry level contract with the Ducks in June of 2012.

East London Brewery produces beer from old bread
Food waste charity founder creates beer from unwanted bread
An east London brewery has developed a method for turning old bread into beer, after the beverage's founder decided he wanted to do his little bit to tackle the issue of global food waste.
Recent figures suggest that the UK wastes 15 million tonnes of food every year; baked goods, and bread especially, have been branded the worst offenders. Tristram Stuart, founder of food waste charity 'Feedback', was at the Brussels Beer Project when he first had the inspiration of giving unwanted bread a new lease of life.
An estimated 24 million slices of bread are wasted each year by British households; a spokesperson from Feedback claimed that the unwanted baked produce which is thrown away each year in the UK, could feed 26 million people across the world who are suffering from a severe lack of food.
Now, Tristram Stuart and his team have found a ingenious way of saving some of this bread from the bin and turning it into something delicious. Each bottle of the new, appropriately named, Toast Ale contains one slice of old bread, taken from bakeries, sandwich shops, and delis.
This waste bread is blended into crumbs and then brewed with hops, malted barley and yeast. It goes through the necessary fermentation process until its ready, and then, there it is: a refreshing bottle of environmentally friendly beer.
Tristram Stuart commented: "We hope to put ourselves out of business. The day there's no waste bread is the day Toast Ale can no longer exist." The beer reaches shelves on January 28 and is to cost £3 per bottle.
