Canopy Growth earnings: Can the world's largest marijuana company keep growing like a weed?
With edibles and the Acreage Holdings acquisition near, Canopy will try to hold on to growth rates from cannabis legalization

Canopy Growth will likely convert its CBD assets into marijuana-growing facilities if U.S. federal laws about pot change.
After recreational marijuana sales were legalized last year, Canopy Growth Corp.'s pot sales jumped 360%. When the world's largest pot company reports a fresher crop of results this week, that number may be less than 40%.
While raw-pot sales will no longer grow as fast as legalization moves farther away in the rearview mirror, Canopy investors will still be looking for large revenue growth to justify the company's market cap of more than $14 billion. Canopy Growth executives pointed to a couple of different paths to maintaining a high growth rate: International growth, especially a multibillion-dollar bet on the U.S. market, and new edible products expected to begin selling in December.
Ahead of the company's fiscal fourth-quarter earnings, which it reports Thursday after the closing bell, Canopy Growth /zigman2/quotes/202205609/delayed CA:WEED -2.79% /zigman2/quotes/200603886/composite CGC -3.55% and Acreage Holdings Inc. shareholders approved Wednesday the landmark deal joining the two companies upon a relaxed stance toward federal prohibition in the U.S.

While executives have already gone on a publicity tour attempting to sell the deal to the largely retail investor base, Canopy will likely touch on the arrangement — and its specific details, such as how the companies will work together ahead of changes to U.S. federal law — during its earnings conference call scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Eastern time Friday. So far, investors have learned that Acreage plans to roll out Canopy Growth's Tweed and Tokyo Smoke brands in the U.S.
Cannabis companies rarely provide the sorts of precise forecasts investors have come to expect from other industries, but Canopy Growth executives will likely offer qualitative commentary on what to expect from the pot producer. One critical area is the company's plan for its edibles rollout.
Health Canada unveiled its edible and vaporizer regime on Friday, but government officials told reporters on a conference call that there will be few products available this year. The earliest sale can occur on Dec. 16, two months after the new set of rules goes into effect on Oct. 17. But officials said many more products will be available to consumers in 2020.
/zigman2/quotes/200603886/composite CGC 33.39, -1.23, -3.55%
Canopy Growth has made a significant bet on beverages, taking advantage of its investor, Constellation Brands Inc. /zigman2/quotes/207737284/composite STZ -1.75% and has been building a bottling facility across the street from its Smiths Falls, Ontario headquarters. But, the freshly announced edibles regulations aren't favorable for Canopy Growth as they will limit the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, to 10 milligrams per package — a six pack of cannabis-infused drinks would split that total.
But the money they got from Constellation may be more important in the long-term than the bottling knowledge, according to one analyst.
"They are now using the $4 billion in cash they got due to Constellation to get a route to control in the world's biggest market, and what's more, in the U.S.'s biggest player," Jefferies analyst Owen Bennett wrote in a note to clients when the deal was announced. "If they didn't have the cash then it would be unlikely they could do such a deal as it would be very difficult to raise capital in the debt markets for a right to buy when that right is not even certain anytime soon. In that context, the Constellation deal looks shrewd beyond the beverage capabilities it brings them."
Earnings: According to FactSet, on average analysts polled model losses of C$95.2 million ($71.1 million), or 25 cents a share, widening from C$61.5 million, or 31 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Canopy Growth turned a substantial paper profit of C$74.9 million in the third quarter, in large part because the company adjusted the valuation of its convertible debt due to the company's fluctuating stock price. Excluding that charge, among other things, Canopy posted losses of C$122 million.
Revenue: Net of excise taxes, analysts expect Canopy Growth to bank C$90.6 million in fourth-quarter revenue, up from C$22.8 million in the year-ago quarter, according to FactSet. Sequentially, in the fiscal third quarter, and the first nearly full three months of legalized adult use, Canopy Growth revenue amounted to C$83 million.
Stock movement: In the past three months, Canopy Growth's U.S.-traded stock has fallen 9.5%, compared with the S&P 500 index /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX -0.72% , which has gained 3%. The Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF /zigman2/quotes/208856346/delayed CA:HMMJ -0.18% has fallen 17.5% in the past three months, as the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF /zigman2/quotes/204332491/composite MJ -0.55% fell 15.3%.
Of the 20 sell-side analysts that cover Canopy Growth, 13 have the equivalent of a buy rating on the stock, six have a hold and one rates the name a sell, according to FactSet. The average price target is $56.36, which represents an upside of 37% from Friday's closing price.
What analysts are saying
Bennett at Jefferies wrote in a note to clients that Canopy Growth's purchase of the right to acquire Acreage was a "big positive" for the company. Bennett wrote that for the Canadian licensed producers to become large cap companies, they will need significant U.S. operations — which if they wait until changes to U.S. federal law, could be too late.
According to Bennett, the Acreage deal will likely close in fiscal 2021 and contribute to fiscal 2022 revenue. Canopy Growth also has warrants in two other U.S. operators, Terrascend and Slang Worldwide, which it can exercise upon changes to federal regulations.

The company has also moved into hemp cannabidiol, or CBD, products in New York state. According to several sources familiar with cannabis cultivation, Canopy should be able to easily and quickly transform hemp cultivation and processing facilities to handle marijuana. Bennett has a hold rating on the stock with a C$64 target price.
Cowen analyst Vivien Azer wrote in a June 7 note to clients that Canopy Growth has the most cannabis in stock and has the most products available from online cannabis retailers across Canada. Aphria Inc. /zigman2/quotes/207425803/composite APHA +2.56% holds the second-most, followed by CannTrust Holdings Inc. and Aurora Cannabis Inc. /zigman2/quotes/210559470/composite ACB +0.67% /zigman2/quotes/203734337/delayed CA:ACB +1.32% , Azer wrote. Azer rates the stock a buy with a target price of $61.53.

Tuchel told to drop 'desperate' Chelsea star and restore player 'at better levels' for City clash
Date published: Friday 14th January 2022 3:47 - Rob McCarthy
Thomas Tuchel has been urged to drop a 'desperate' Romelu Lukaku from his Chelsea team to face runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City this weekend.
Victory for Tuchel's men will keep alive their very slim title hopes, although a victory for City at The Etihad will see them go a massive 13 points clear in the defence of their trophy.
Club record signing Lukaku looks certain to start against Pep Guardiola's side after earning Tuchel's trust again. The Belgian was dropped from the team after the controversial interview he gave to Sky Sport Italia.
However, after a sincere apology, the 28-year-old was restored to the line-up and started both Carabao Cup semi-final legs against Tottenham.
But despite his return, former England midfielder Fara Williams believes that Tuchel should start Kai Havertz ahead of Lukaku against City.
"I think Kai Havertz could be a better shout against Man City than Lukaku," the former Everton star told Premier League productions.
"It's hard to say that because, look, if you were to ask me earlier on in the season who to start, when Lukaku was in form and scoring goals, it would be easy.
Lukaku still not at his best
"So of course it would be a big decision but Lukaku looks like a player lacking confidence. He looks like a player who is desperate to show he wants to be there.
"He was so desperate against Tottenham to show Chelsea fans that he wanted to be there. But in that desperation, you don't perform. When you put too much expectation on yourself it can be hard to deliver.
"He was working hard off the ball which we haven't seen often but that's not his game.
"Whilst he's in that frame of mind where he's trying to prove to the fans, his team-mates and the board that he does want to stay and that the interview was a mistake, it might be better not to play.
"I feel like he's not at the levels that Havertz is at right now. And Chelsea need everyone at their best to beat Man City."
Chelsea tracking Anderlecht star
Meanwhile, Chelsea are taking a keen interest in signing Anderlecht's versatile left-sided player Sergio Gomez, TEAMtalk understands.
The Spain Under-21 star has been outstanding for Vincent Kompany's side this season after joining the club in the summer of 2021 from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.
The 21-year-old can play anywhere down the left. He's been particularly outstanding playing in the full-back and wing-back role for Anderlecht.
Gomez has five goals in 10 assists already this season for the Belgian outfit. That sort of form has seen him come to the attention of a host of clubs, including Manchester United.
Recent weeks have seen Chelsea doing work on possible left-sided options. Although a January bid is unlikely, we understand that the Spaniard has been one of the stand-out players their scouts have come across and they are now keeping close tabs on him.
Gomez began his career with Barcelona, before being snapped up by Dortmund in 2018.

25 Years after Jurassic Park, Part 3
The third and last of my musings on Jurassic Park...
By Darren Naish on June 29, 2018
Credit: Darren Naish
Here we are: the third and last of my musings on Jurassic Park. The previous of my two articles featured my personal take on the backstory and run-up to the movie, and my reaction to the movie itself. That second article finished by discussing various of the visual effects featured in the movie – and this is where we pick things up today…
As per previous articles, I'm mostly filling this piece with pictures of toys from my own collection. Here's the Tyrannosaurus again. With box. Credit: Darren Naish
Part of what made Jurassic Park such a phenomenon was the interest that everyone had in its effects. Features on such things as BBC's 9 o'clock news (or was it ITV's 10 o'clock news?) not only helped drum up hype but made Jurassic Park newsy. This isn't Just Another Movie, but the dawning of a revolution in cinematic entertainment. I do remember there being similar mainstream interest in the effects of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and to a degree in Terminator 2: Judgement Day, two movies I also know embarrassingly well. And you'll know that T2's effects can certainly be considered linked to those of Jurassic Park.
If seriously interested in the backstory to Jurassic Park, you absolutely must get hold of Shay & Duncan (1993). It's a great book. Credit: Darren Naish
The big question: how – but how!! – had Spielberg and his buddies given us such real, living, breathing dinosaurs? Even at the time it was obvious that the film was historic as goes effects and visuals. Those of us who've read and seen a million 'making of' magazine articles, TV spots and youtube videos (or have read Don Shay and Jody Duncan's outstandingly good The Making of Jurassic Park) are familiar with the story of how Phil Tippett's original stop-motion puppets were superseded but eventually made integral to the CG process, of how ILM broke new ground with their innovations in CG, and of the amazing job on the robotics and models made at Stan Winston's studio (Shay & Duncan 1993). I might be known, rightly or not, as a zoology nerd, but I've spent some significant part of my life watching the films of the Stars Wars, Alien and Terminator franchises, in which case seeing creative forces the likes of ILM, Tippett and Stan Winston work together is basically a dream come true. Damn, did they deliver.
Carnotaurus is not in the original Jurassic Park book or movie, but this toy appeared relatively early in the range. It's not bad, though the hands are a fabrication compared to what the animal was actually like. The toy comes with a range of metallic restraining devices that look a bit cruel, or perverse, depending on your point of view. Credit: Darren Naish
It's not just the mechanics and craftmanship that makes Jurassic Park's dinosaurs so good, it's the fact that there was a real and obvious effort throughout the making of this film to – some artistic license besides (like those seismic T. rex footfalls… and that dilophosaur) – to make the dinosaurs about as accurate as they could be. Sure, there are things they either got wrong, or modified for cinematic effect (examples: Tyrannosaurus didn't really have a triangular eye horn like that, the hands of a Triceratops wouldn't look as elephantine as they do in the movie, the brachiosaur was super-sized for effect and should have had far slimmer limbs, and dromaeosaurs couldn't curl their lips to create a nefarious facial expression) but – by and large – those behind the movie did work hard to give us 'real' dinosaurs. It's almost as if they cared. Speaking myself as someone who cares about the way dinosaur life appearance is portrayed, the big win of Jurassic Park is that it gave naïve audiences the horizontal-bodied, bird-like dinosaurs of the Renaissance, not the tail-dragging, chubby behemoths of yore. If you were a kid at the time Jurassic Park came out, and hence have always felt familiar with horizontal-bodied, fairly accurate-looking dinosaurs, count yourself lucky.
Tyrannosaurus did not have the large, triangular horn shown in Jurassic Park. Instead, there were big, horn-covered hornlets or bosses, as shown here. The reconstruction here is traced from the skull of AMNH 5027, the specimen on display in New York. Credit: Darren Naish
So, not only do we have a movie that brings a view of dinosaurs as active, dynamic, warm-blooded, social animals to its audience, it also gives them dinosaurs that look pretty close to the genuine articles, the big disclaimer here being – yeah – the feather issue (see the first part of this series of articles).
Stegosaurus doesn't appear in Jurassic Park (though its name – wrongly spelt Stegasaurus – does appear in the scene where Nedry is stealing the embryos from storage). It is in the sequel though (in super-sized formed). A toy stegosaur was, however, featured as part of the original toy range. Its face is not very accurate at all. Credit: Darren Naish
And it's at this point that I need to stop talking about Jurassic Park and comment briefly on its various sequels, including of course the Jurassic World films. I'll say that 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park has some good bits (among them the dinosaur capture scene) but otherwise has too much hokum to be likeable (the gymnastic scene, the 'I've stepped in something' scene, Burke's death, the Godzilla comes to San Diego scene, basically everything on the ship…). Jurassic Park III is, ugh, just terrible.
And Jurassic World? As I've said at length elsewhere (here's my infamous CNN piece of 2015), I'm basically disappointed with the people behind that movie for opting to stick with the safe 'brand look' of their dinosaurs and not go with the reboot they could have. Scaly-skinned dromaeosaurs might have been excusable for 1993, but a 2015 movie could have given us something better.
The original Kenner Stegosaurus toy (yes, I still have the boxes...) is one of several in the range that has a 'battle damage' feature where a large chunk of external surface can be removed to reveal musculature and bones beneath (yuck!). The removeable chunk is made from a different plastic and, as you can see here, ages differently from the rest of the toy. The toy also has a single row of plates, a feature based on Stephen Czerkas's proposed of 1987 (and not considered correct today: the plates were arranged in a staggered, asymmetrical pattern). Credit: Darren Naish
Yes, of course movie-makers are perfectly entitled to create whatever fictional universe they like given that it's only a movie (yaaawn), but I can't help but be frustrated as someone who cares about public education and – boy – what a contrast to the approach behind Jurassic Park. I'm not just talking about the lack of feathers on the dromaeosaurs: pretty much all the Jurassic World animals are hideous caricatures; even the T. rex somehow looks less good than the version of 1993. And in contrast to Jurassic Park, I just don't think that Jurassic World is a good movie. What about the new one (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom)? It should be clear from all I've said in these articles that I do actually enjoy movies and I watch them often. At the time of writing, Solo, my several viewings of Avengers: Infinity War and a nostalgic re-viewing of Inner Space from two evenings ago are all fresh in my mind. And, sad to say, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom just doesn't interest me.
There are even people who have kept a select few original Jurassic Park toys inside unopened packets. Weird, huh? Credit: Darren Naish
Will we ever see a dinosaur film that does anything like 1993's Jurassic Park ever again? The theme of Jurassic Park, at least, has been carried through to other projects, arguably among them the Walking With franchise and the travelling (but presently London-based) interactive attraction Dinosaurs in the Wild (which has just had its London run extended by a few weeks). But a new movie that's actually as good, exciting and ground-breaking as that of summer 1993? It could be done. But my hopes are not high.
Dinosaurs in the Wild presents the public with a more modern, accurate view of the Mesozoic world than anything featured in the Jurassic Park movies, and was created with a fraction of its budget. What if a big-budget movie – featuring the exciting, accurate dinosaurs of reality – were to appear? We can but dream. Credit: Darren Naish

Alex Frew – Antisocial Love Song
Toronto's own seeks to expose feelings of loneliness and a disconnect from the world, exacerbated by the evolution of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, but unfortunately, I feel it falls short of truly enabling an emotional connection with the listener on this occasion.
'Antisocial Love Song' just doesn't quite cut it for me. Where I see potential, and where I see an avenue for the track to steer down, it puts on its indicator to make the turn but decides on the same route it was on last minute. I'm not made to stop in my tracks and really invest in what I'm listening to, and yet I can't quite sit back, relax, and let the story and the message Alex is looking to put across wash over me.
Vulnerability in music is something I commend and sometimes actively seek out in an artist, but on this occasion, the inoffensive and perhaps one-dimensional and bland production detract from the very raw and personal insight that Alex is trying to evolve in this release. When an artist wants to wear their heart on their sleeve and is bold enough to expose it, enabling that rawness to bleed into the production and instrumentation is in my opinion vital to its success/failure.
I don't have a standout moment in this one, and that's sad to say, as I feel the vocal synergy between Alex and featured artist A is for Arrows is strong; it's a pleasant listen, but perhaps not a dynamic one. Dynamism, the ability for a song to fully engage me as the listener and take me on the journey the artist has set out to go on themselves is, in this instance, not quite there. Perhaps it's an unconscious bias with this genre, but my underlying feeling is that it isn't.
There are artists and tracks and albums worth of pop ballads that I can connect with and find myself belting out at full volume, but I don't feel like 'Antisocial Love Song' is going to be one of those moments. It doesn't pull at your heartstrings, nor does it really catch me off guard. Do I have a resentment towards it? No, of course not. Yet I can't see myself actively wanting to find out more either. It's a miss for me this time around.

What does it mean to be a "streaming monster" like Guaynaa
Jan 30, 2021 @ 3:00 pm By Shirley Reynozo
Jean Carlos Santiago Perez, better known as Guaynaa, was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico. In 2017 after the tragic devastation of Hurricane Maria, Guaynaa released a song title "Maria" that went viral on all social media platforms, where he expressed his anger and frustration at the situation. He went to release "Rebota" which became a massive success.
In his most recent single, "Monterrey," Guaynaa has some controversial images that accompany his eclectic music. Images of women dying to be in his colonial hands and subtle transphobic imagery enhance the imagery of white male dominance. Galore wants to know, what do you think about Guaynaa's latest song and the accompanying images?
To watch the latest music video click here
FEATURE INTERVIEW
Felicitaciones en el lance de tu nueva canción y clip "Monterrey" What do you aim to convey through the overall production of the music and video?
I just want to bring happiness to the fans; good moments and excitement! Dance moves. That's my concept. That's what I bring to the people. Guaynaa's music, people are dancing and having moments that they are going to remember for all their life. An example at the beginning of my career the people came to me and they were like, oh my god I heard your song at my cousin's wedding. I was dancing a lot, I am never going to forget you. I was like oh my god my music is really working. That's really what I want to bring to people who hear my music and see the video. The video inspires and it means the same thing that I am saying in the song.
Para ti, en realidad, ¿qué significa el clip? Como crítica y estudiante de historia, la representación colonial tiene su propia connotación. Claro que la música tiene una energía muy alegre, pero ¿cuál es la conexión entre los dos?
The connection between both is the revolution. It was a Hernan Cortez structure he built. I was inspired by Pancho Villa. It was that revolutionary guy, but at the same time he was so funny. He made everybody laugh. He had like twenty-seven girlfriends, twenty-six kids. That was one of the biggest inspirations for the video.
You are an eccentric artist! Especially because you go against what we come to expect from reggaeton. For example the fusion of what is more authentic reggaeton with what is more electronic. Or the song "Taxi" with Mariah talking about she can pay the taxi, essentially highlighting that women can handle things on their own and they don't need no man. What inspires you in your creation process?
It depends what you wanna do. Sometimes it's not what you say, it's how you say it. A lot of things can influence the final message. I just try to make content for everybody. At the hand it will hit me back. I have to be careful with what I say. I'm not saying that I don't got bad words in my songs, because I have. It's what you say and how you say it.
For me my inspiration is if I wanna do a cumbia I wanna be like Los Angeles Azules. If I'm going to do a reggaeton I'm going to listen to Daddy Yankee. It depends. I think that a good thing for me is that I was a fan before an artist, so I was identifying that style, song and composition. For me now I got it more clearly.
There is so much Latin culture in "Que Sera?", not just because Chimbala is dominican and you are puerto rican, but also because of the Brazilian funkee fusion. What was it like to work with Chimbala, and the overall production of "Que Sera?"
It was so good, it was my first with a Dominican. It's good, especially because Chimbala got that trompeta that identified his sound. He presented me two ideas, and I said yo, that's the one! I'm not gonna make any other so give me that I'm gonna record it. We made the video here in Miami. Good thing about music is it opens new doors and explores new countries.
Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico are so close, but it can jump to Europe, New York, Canada; you don't know where your music is going to hit so hard. That is the interesting part of making a fusion of different cultures.
How do you feel having that global impact throughout your music?
I feel so so so good, you have no idea. I am going to make a song with Chungha and it's the first time in Latin history. For me, being a Latin, being a Puerto Rican makes me so proud, I am making history with my music. It is so interesting how K-POP created a huge monster in the industry. Now K-POP is hitting the charts, they are killing everybody out there. We are gonna keep making new things. We are in the best moment of our career in our music.
What has it been like to be able to collaborate with artists that may have very different styles and sounds and how do you think that has influenced your growth as an artist? You're about to release a song with Chungha which is a super famous K-POP artist, what should we expect about this specific single?
It is so good because you are always learning. Especially with that lady Chungha, I learned a lot. It's a different world completely, but they treat you with respect because they jump the line to look for someone and they pick you, it's because they like you, they like what you bring to the music, what you inspire. For me, for my career it means alot because it's going to take me to unknown places. It's going to define the reach of me as an artist and the potential that I got as an artist. For me it's beautiful. Now I am going to have a song with Diplo. Major Lazor. It's going to expand the reach and the respect of the public.
How did the quarantine period impact or inspire you as an artist?
The quarantine period impacted me in a good way because there are two kinds of people with emergencies. You got the one that get distracted and the one that makes a huge empire. I think that you have to identify the necessity and how you can satisfy it. That's what happened to me, thank God, I identified the necessity of music and the necessity of content on the platforms. Now the business has changed. Now it's a streaming game. What I have to do to become a streaming monster, I have to release a lot of good music, it has to be a good product so that the people stay in contact with you. And thank God that's what I did and it's working for me. I am in the best time of my career.

A guide to Christmas gifts for the motoring woman
From jewellery wrought from crashed luxury cars to an actual Blower Bentley, we've got it covered. How much to spend is up to you.
The two-day Ferrari Classiche Academy course is held at Ferrari's private racetrack – why not add on an Italian holiday?
Tony DavisMotoring Writer
Dec 5, 2019 — 10.49am
Still not sure what to buy her for Christmas – or if you are her, still unsure what hints you should be leaving? Here are a few little baubles for consideration…
Accidental elegance
Definitely different: bee cuff, crafted from a crashed Onyx Black Aston Martin Rapide S.
Occasionally you hear of something so unusual you have to tell someone. So consider yourself told: Crash Jewelry, which is based in Los Angeles, makes bangles, earrings, necklaces and assorted accessories from metal taken from luxury cars that have been involved in accidents. They are minor accidents, we are assured by Christi Schimpke, who set up the business in 2013. She was working as a silversmith and, after moving her studio to her husband's panel-beating shop, had the idea that all that discarded high-lustre painted metal and sparkling chrome could be put to a different use.
Each hand-made piece includes information on the donor car. For example, the Bee Cuff ($US365, or about $537 plus freight) uses an unscathed portion of the crumpled bonnet of an Onyx Black Aston Martin Rapide S. The Diamond and Peridot Cuff ($US795) has Pearl White metal from the mangled guard of a Ferrari 599 GTO, along with the jewels alluded to in the title. The Lion Cuff uses as its starting point a Monterey Blue Lamborghini Gallardo – one that's seen better days of course. crashjewelry.com
Take to the track
You too can make like a Ferrari driver if your partners spoils you with a Ferrari Classiche Academy voucher.
Ferrari's private circuit, Fiorano, is legendary. With corners modelled on the most challenging turns from many of the world's Grand Prix circuits, it's used exclusively for testing rather than racing. For that reason, fewer people drive on it than almost any other internationally famous circuit. But now those who can't make it as a works racer or factory test driver have a new chance to complete some laps in anger.
The new Ferrari Classiche Academy course runs for two days at Fiorano, a short walk from the corporate headquarters in Maranello, northern Italy. According to the screed, participants will be brought into the world of Ferrari Classiche (the company's historic records and restoration arm) and "learn the techniques used to drive cars produced before electronics had entered the automotive world".
The cars to be driven on track are 308 GTS and GTBi models and a Mondial 3.2. All are from the 1970s and 1980s, and none have traction control or anti-lock brakes. What they do have are manual transmissions – a feature not fitted to any new Ferrari for a decade or so – so participants will be schooled in heeling-and-toeing, careful management of the revs to avoid compression lock-up (or blown engines!) and other 20th-century techniques. They should finish the course well primed for historic car ownership or perhaps even historic racing.
Yes, the course costs €10,000 ($16,310) but compared with the cost of say, tracking your own fortysomething-year-old Ferrari, that's a bargain. cup.ch/media/files/Classiche-Academy-Brochure-.pdf
Trails of the unexpected
A ripping tail of adventure and heroics from Heather Ellis, pictured on the cover with her trusty Yamaha TT600.
Heather Ellis, one of the bravest women on two wheels, wrote Ubuntu: One Woman's Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa, capturing the extraordinary journey she undertook in the 1990s. Her later adventures are captured in the follow-up, which sees Ellis crossing Central Asia after the fall of the Soviet Union and down into south-east Asia on the same Yamaha TT600, all while struggling with a disease doctors had said would kill her (and very nearly did).
Though both books were written well after the fact, she succeeds in capturing the immediacy, thanks partly to diaries she filled out at the end of each day (though at that stage, she tells us, she never imagined she would write a book about her experiences, let alone two). Ellis is a nice writer and, in the end, tells a story much bigger than a mere motorcycle journey. Timeless On The Silk Road: An Odyssey From London To Hanoi (Phonte, $29.99). See heather-ellis.com
Make mine a Blower
He'll have to dig deep to buy you one of just 12 Blower Bentleys (POA) – and you'll have to wait to receive it.
Bentley is about to embark on a new run of 12 examples of its 1929 model. It's not just any 1929 model, but the famous Blower Bentley, a 4.5-litre supercharged model built for racing. The Blower never won the big prize, the Le Mans 24 Hours, though it became more famous than those other Bentleys that did.
So here's your chance to have something in your driveway that's bigger than your neighbour's fancy new SUV and a fair bit more distinctive. It will double as a work of art, if you have wide double doors and can fit it in your atrium.
To create the new examples, Bentley will completely disassemble the original Blower in its own collection. Then, in the company's words, each part will be "catalogued and meticulously scanned in 3D to create a complete digital model of the entire car. Using the original 1920s moulds and tooling jigs, and traditional hand tools alongside the latest manufacturing technology, 12 sets of parts will then be created, before assembly. The 12 continuations will be identical wherever possible to the original – mechanically, aesthetically and spiritually – with only minimal hidden changes dictated by modern safety concerns."
It will take about two years to complete the dozen Blowers. Price is on application. But pretty high. See your Bentley dealer.

ГЕС-ГАЕС Запелло () — гідроелектростанція на півночі Італії. Розташована між ГЕС Публіно та ГЕС Веделло, входить до складу гідровузла у сточищі ряду лівих приток Адди (ліва притока По, яка відноситься до басейну Адріатичного моря), що дренують північний схил Бергамських Альп.

У своїй роботі станція Запелло використовує водосховище Веніна об'ємом 11,2 млн м3, котре утримує споруджена на однойменній річці гребля із восьми невеликих арок, розділених контрфорсами. Ця споруда має висоту 45 метрів, довжину 115 метрів та потребувала 96 тис. м3 бетону.

Окрім прямого стоку, сховище поповнюється за допомогою деривації із розташованої далі на захід долини Лівріо (ще одна ліва притока Адди). Це здійснюється через відвідний дериваційний тунель довжиною 3,7 км від згаданої вище ГЕС Публіно, до якого також під'єднані водозбірні системи Північ та Південь довжиною 3,8 та 1,4 км відповідно, що збирають ресурс з обох сторін долини Лівріо. Після перетину водорозділу до відвідного тунелю Публіно приєднується також тунель довжиною 1,2 км, який збирає воду з лівобережжя Веніна. Як наслідок, станція Запелло може використовувати ресурс з річок та струмків Лівріо, Вальбус, Скольтадор, Корно-Стелла, Цокке-Казера, Камп-Черве, Б'янке, Фонтанелле та Черек.

Від водосховища дериваційний тунель довжиною 1,4 км, який переходить у напірний водогін довжиною 1 км, подає воду далі на схід у долину Скайс (права притока Веніна). Розташований тут машинний зал обладнаний двома оборотними турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 6,48 МВт у турбінному та 6,22 МВт у насосному режимах. При напорі у майже 400 метрів вони забезпечують виробництво 18 млн кВт·год електроенергії на рік.

Відпрацьована вода потрапляє у споруджений на Скайс невеликий резервуар, який і дозволяє станції Запелло діяти в режимі гідроакумуляції. Звідси вода також подається на наступний ступінь гідровузла ГЕС Vedello (втім, остання має можливість отримувати її і напряму з водосховища Venina, без пропуску через турбіни станції Запелло).

### Capoeira

Capoeira is a dynamic expression of Afro-Brazilian culture. The game of capoeira derived from a variety of ceremonial dances and ritualized forms of combat, that most likely came from the western nations of Africa. Capoeira became an activity that drew together people of African descent, becoming a nucleus for maintaining African traditions in the Americas. From the 1900's on, capoeira began to cross ethnic backgrounds and cultural borders. Today capoeira is an international activity practiced all over the world. It embodies the spirit of community and gives it's practitioners a means to personal growth and liberation from social and personal constraints

Q&A: Scanning Away Food Waste?
Chances are you encounter radio frequency identification (RFID) technology quite often. You're doing so when you use a proximity card at work or a hotel, track a package, check out library books, or become a scannable human. Within the food industry, RFID tags track food shipments' progress at the pallet and truck level.
The global packaging company Avery Dennison is now working to bring that technology to supermarket shelves. Avery Dennison recently claimed that RFID tags could minimize retail food waste by 20 percent, which would yield savings of US$22 billion globally. James Stafford, Global Head of RFID Development, answered some questions on a technology that may just become embedded in your life in the near future.
Jonathan Bloom (JB): You're now testing RFID technology with food retailers. What insights have you gleaned from the real world application of the technology? Any surprises thus far?
James Stafford (JS): Our key insight is that with fast-moving short life foods, there is very little opportunity to check the accuracy of deliveries and consistency of sell-by dates throughout the chain. RFID offers the opportunity to get accurate information at very fast read rates.
JB: Avery Dennison has claimed that RFID tags can reduce food waste by 20 percent. In plain language, how can tags achieve that reduction and what is behind that estimate?
JS: RFID gives retailers the opportunity to check that they have the right products, the right quantities and most importantly, the right dates, at every stage of the chain, at minimum labor costs. This visibility of accurate data will enable better management of the process and avoids products ending up as expensive waste, which can often be as high as 10 percent of the sales value of the turnover at a retail location.
Early stage adopters will likely be retailers managing high volumes of refrigerated, perishable, short shelf life foods. These retailers have the constant challenge of managing availability of fresh products for their customers, while avoiding excessive quantities of products going past their sell-by date and ending up as waste.
This challenge is compounded by multiple deliveries all with different dates that need to be accurately date-rotated in distribution centers and in-store. At the moment, retailers have few tools to help with this process, and have to rely on visual inspection and the workforce. This inevitably means that a compromise has to be made between levels of checking and labor costs in a high-volume area.
We believe that with greater visibility of potential waste situations through RFID scanning, promotional action can be taken to ensure food is sold to consumers rather than ending up as waste. If we couple this with process and control improvements as a result of identifying errors in picking, distribution, stock rotation, and expected shelf life, we consider that about a 20 percent reduction in overall food waste is a realistic target.
JB: At present, food-borne illness recalls prompt vast amounts of healthy food to be discarded. How useful would RFID tracking be when it comes to avoiding unnecessary waste here? And are those potential savings included in the 20 percent or would they be additional?
JS: We have insufficient information to comment on this area, but any potential savings would be in addition to the 20 percent mentioned above.
JB: Cost has long been the main barrier for RFID adoption in the low-margin supermarket industry. What is the per-unit cost now and what price point would you need to reach to realize widespread adoption? Do you have any way to compare the per-unit price to the savings from avoided food waste?
JS: Unfortunately, we do not disclose pricing. We recognize that foods are extremely price sensitive, and understand that RFID deployment decisions will always be made as a result of a strong business case that provides a sound ROI (return on investment). However, food waste has a significant impact on food margins, and its potential reduction through RFID creates an opportunity to offset costs through margin improvement.
JB: Testing thus far has focused on the more expensive items like meats and seafood. Can you imagine a day when RFID tags would be used with all food products or would it ultimately be at pallet or carton level with some food items?
JS: We think the major interest in the near term will be on short-shelf-life foods. More expensive items will justify the cost of item level tagging, but cheaper items such as dairy and produce also need an RFID solution that delivers visibility throughout the chain. Certain retailers in Europe are already tagging returnable transit trays or totes, and we are currently involved in pilots that involve tagging of returnable trays and disposable cartons.
While this does not offer quite the granularity of data provided by item-level tagging, it is a viable intermediate step, which also offers further benefits of enhancing productivity in the distribution chain by speeding up receipt and dispatch processes.
JB: RFID-tagged grocery products will have other benefits, too, right? Could they help consumers trace the origin of food items?
JS: At the moment, consumers don't have the technology in their phones to read the information on the type of RFID tags used, but of course, this could change in the future. RFID tagging offers the opportunity to trace products from farm to fork. From the individual animal, or fishing boat or fruit orchard right through to the consumer packaging. How much of that information is useful to consumers, or conversely a distraction, remains to be seen, but the potential is there.
JB: If RFID tags are adopted widely, will grocery aisles become radio wave gauntlets?
JS: People's exposure to radio waves is strictly controlled by government regulations in all parts of the world, and the RFID industry operates safely within these regulations. It is worth pointing out that the RFID tags used on consumer items are completely passive, contain no batteries, and emit no radio waves themselves, until exposed to radio waves from an RFID reader. Only when exposed to such a reader are they able to transmit a small part of the energy received as a weak radio transmission and only for a very short period of time.
JB: Are there previous supermarket advances to which you'd compare RFID tags? And where in the process of adoption are we?
JS: The obvious answer is the barcode, which started in the USA in 1974 and reached the UK in 1978. However, widespread adoption took another 15 years, and there were many people at that time that doubted that the technology would catch on in retail. Reliable equipment had to be developed and coding standards universally agreed.
Today RFID is in a similar position to early barcodes, but with the advantage that the technology is reliable, standards established, and prices for equipment and tags have fallen. The unique information within an RFID tag, which is far more detailed than the data contained in a barcode, will create new opportunities to improve inventory productivity, margins, store operations execution, and the overall customer experience. The old compromise between speed and accuracy disappears. Now retailers can get real-time information on inventory at a speed that was impossible in the past. We believe this will create a paradigm shift in the management of fast-moving consumer goods, such as foods.
JB: When might the first RFID tags hit grocery stores in the US?
JS: Hopefully you won't have to wait too long! We expect to see some RFID pilots in the U.S. in the first half of 2016. And I would expect this to be happening at least at carton or distribution unit level by 2017.

What Butt Dialing Says About the Need for Data
By Eric Priezkalns 22 Oct 2015
Have you ever received a call from someone who had their mobile phone in their back pocket? Some people wiggle whilst they walk, causing them to instigate a phone call by accident. Butt dialing, or pocket dialing as it is more politely known, may not sound like much of a problem. However, it results in a waste of resources when the call is made to emergency services like the police or fire fighters. Imagine the scenario: a call is connected to the emergency services but nobody is speaking to the operator. Perhaps it is a butt call, but it may also be a person who is injured or too afraid to speak. So every call like that needs to be investigated, and efforts made to speak to the caller and confirm their location. Is there a way to reduce the time wasted on butt calls, to save money and allow operators to concentrate on the calls that really matter? That was what Google tried to find out by analyzing emergency calls in San Francisco.
Google has a charitable program where they lend out skilled technologists to help find solutions for social problems. When Google's team looked into the increase in emergency calls made in San Francisco, they found evidence that an increasing number of calls had been accidentally dialed. In total, they estimated accidental dialing was the cause of 20 percent of all emergency calls. However, to reach that conclusion, they literally sat with operators and listened to a sample 475 calls as they were received. Google's team had to do this because data was not being collected with sufficient granularity to identify what proportion of calls were accidentally dialed. Though operators assigned a category to every call they handled, the ones which were accidentally dialed were lumped in with other calls in the 'miscellaneous' or 'unknown' categories, because there was no standard category for accidentally dialed calls, even when operators had spoken to the dialer and confirmed there was no emergency.
The work done by Google reminds me of work that I have done on analyzing so-called 'reason' codes for the calls received by customer contact centers. If you have a list of 100 reason codes but find 30 percent of calls are lumped into one category, whilst over 50 codes have only one or two calls assigned to them, then the disparity should smack management in the face. When this occurs, it is time to change the codes in order to collect more actionable data. You do not need lots of detail about a tiny number of calls, and you want to understand more about the calls going into the top category. As a consequence, the theoretically ideal breakdown would allocate an equal number of calls to each reason code. An even spread ensures you have useful detail without setting unrealistic expectations for your customer service representatives. Making the right operational improvements – like reducing the number of complaints through proactively giving customers better information – begins with collecting data that you can act upon. When you have the right data, you can identify issues and then motivate and track improvement.
Not surprisingly, most of Google's recommendations in their report to the San Francisco authorities also concentrated on gathering better data. For example, they suggested that a new code be dedicated for accidental calls, and that the source of every call – whether fixed-line or mobile – be automatically captured. Where a suspected accidental call has been received, one key method to save time and improve efficiency would be to automate the process of calling and/or texting the sender back. And with better data, Google's team anticipated superior management of staff time through improved planning and tracking of the variance between the expected and actual volume of calls received.
Though the changes proposed by Google would be cheap and easy to implement, they would help to ensure resources were focused on real emergencies. My general perception is that the public sector can often do a better job of gathering data in order to drive increased efficiency. However, the private sector is not perfect either. Google loves to do clever analysis of data, but it is a universal truth that you cannot do clever analysis unless you collect the data in the first place.
