Cheap Researchers Are Working On A $150 Self-Driving Car Kit
Filed to:Cars
When you think of a self-driving car, you probably think of Google's little project. And exciting as that is, we still have to wait a long time for pay-off. And even then, you can bet it'll be pricey. Researchers in the UK are working on their own version of the tech, and it stands to be a lot cheaper. Maybe as cheap as $150.
RobotCar, a tricked out Nissan Leaf, is a project currently under development by researchers at the University of Oxford, and the minds behind it are giving themselves an extra little challenge: it's gotta be cheap. So far the system, which uses stereo camera and lasers, runs about $7,750, but researchers are hoping they can knock that down by a factor of ten, and then all the way down to $150.
Professor Paul Newman put it this way to the Telegraph:
Really, we do need to solve the engineering challenges of not relying on expensive sensors, but relying on cheap sensors. But doing some really smart things with those cheap sensor feeds.
At prices like that, you're going to have to make some compromises, and chief among them is that RobotCar will need you to teach it a bit. As you drive your RobotCar to work or to the store, the car's systems will be keeping a close eye on the route and, eventually, will know enough to take over for you. RobotCar's been tested on some private roads, and with a go-ahead from the UK Department of Transportation, it should get some public road time soon. Hopefully it works out, because $150 for trouble-free commutes sound preeeetty nice.

The MyAFibRisk.com 400 is set to take place later today. Here is a look at some drivers we like to win this event.
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Kevin Harvick is still the favorite to win this race, as he now has 4/1 odds. Other short odds to win are Kyle Busch (11/2), Brad Keselowski (6/1), Joey Logano (6/1) and Matt Kesneth (6/1). The MyAFibRisk.com 400 takes place on Sunday at 3:16PM ET from Chicagoland Speedway.
Kyle Busch comes in with the 11/2 odds this weekend. He is starting seventh in the race and has a share of the points lead with his four wins on the year. He is a former winner at Chicago and his average finish there is 11.6, which is pretty solid. His driver rating of 103.6 puts him fifth in the field and we think he will be leading the pack at the end.
Brad Keselowski has 6/1 odds today and could really use a win to get the Chase started. He is starting in third and he is a two-time winner at Chicago already. His average finish at the track is 10.6 and his driver rating is 98.5. Both are solid numbers and support Keselowski being in the mix at the end.
A dark horse for today's race is Clint Bowyer at 100/1. He is starting back in 26th today but he is a part of the Chase for the Championship. Bowyer has never won at Chicago, but his average finish is 13.2, which is ninth amongst the field. His driver rating is 10th best today at 89.4. Bowyer is seeking his first win of the year, but with just three races to make a move before the first cut in the Chase, Bowyer has to be aggressive, and that could mean big things for him today.

Gun Groups Score Direct Hit Against Bloomberg
From the Second Amendment Foundation: A letter to the office of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg from the U.S. Department...
By Dave Hurteau & Chad Love | Published Feb 12, 2007 8:14 PM
From the Second Amendment Foundation:
A letter to the office of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg from the U.S. Department of Justice scolding the mayor's infamous 2006 gun sting operation and advising that Bloomberg's administration could face "potential legal liabilities" over such stings was called a "significant victory" against the Big Apple mayor's anti-gun antics by the Second Amendment Foundation.
From the National Shooting Sports Foundation:
The Department of Justice letter serves to confirm what we have said all along, that the unauthorized and reckless conduct of Mayor Bloomberg in having private investigators conduct so-called sting operations in support of filing civil lawsuits will, and in fact has, interfered with ongoing criminal investigations into gun trafficking and jeopardized the lives of law enforcement officers and witnesses.
From the NRA:
NRA has always maintained that Mayor Bloomberg overstepped his boundaries and possibly broke the law in conducting these sting operations, and we expressed our concerns to ATF immediately. NRA is grateful that ATF has reviewed the matter and concluded that no further action is warranted against these firearms retailers.

The second plague that was brought upon the Egyptians was "frogs". Aaron hit the river and frogs came pouring into Egypt.
The Medrash says, what really happened was that just one frog came out of the water. When the Egyptians saw the frog, they went out to kill it. As they beat the frog, the frog started to multiply; the more they hit the frogs the more they multiplied.
Why couldn't the Egyptians figure it out, if they stop hitting the frogs they will stop multiplying? In this case, they actually brought the plague upon themselves.
There is an interesting fact when it comes to anger, maybe you have experienced this yourself, when a person gets angry his brain shuts off and stops thinking rationally. We do many things in anger, only to wish we could have stopped and thought a moment.
The Egyptians were taking out their anger on the "frog" so even though it kept multiplying, they were angry and couldn't think to stop. Something to remember next time you get angry.

Opinion: A fairy tale for good Europeans
The "pro-European candidate" has won Serbia's presidential election, Western media are happy to report. Aleksandar Vucic's image affords him a hasty stamp of approval, writes DW's Dragoslav Dedovic.
Why does Aleksandar Vucic (seen above) strike many political observers as a moderate despite his authoritarian tendencies? The general political climate is foremost to blame. With London and Washington giving the EU a cold shoulder, any EU fan is warmly welcomed - including from Belgrade.
Vucic, currently the prime minister, will be able to rule the next five years as president without discernible opposition. A third consecutive victory in last year's parliamentary vote for his populist conservative Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) gave Vucic a strong mandate heading into the election. Now, as party leader and soon-to-be president, he is by far the most powerful political leader in Serbia, even though prime minister is traditionally the office that wields the most authority in the country.
Dragoslav Dedovic heads DW's Serbia department
Serbia's head of state may be largely ceremonial, but independence for Serbian institutions remains out of reach. Power is concentrated at the top. Vucic will install a puppet prime minister who can make him look good if the government performs well.
If not, he can distance himself from it or even become a harsh critic of it. He has to do very little but praise or punish his loyal servants propelling his agenda.
An ideal democrat - or not
Western capitals are well aware of Vucic's prevalence for insulting journalists, brushing off opposition and using manipulative control tactics. Off the record, many paint a very different domestic picture of this internationally praised, allegedly ideal democrat - one of a barely democratic politician obsessed with validation. However, he can distract from the pitiful state of the media and legal system by generally towing the pro-Kosovo line and repeating a mantra of stability.
Certainly the situation in Belgrade today is all but idyllic in comparison to its bloody past. Despite tensions with neighboring countries, Vucic is perceived rather well throughout the region and is hardly a problem for the West. At home, he has the freedom to rant and rave, appearing at least 10 times more often across Serbian television channels during the campaign than the opposition and using jobs as a means of blackmailing voters.
The quiet hope is Vucic will moderate in the course of negotiating EU membership for his country. Whether that will actually be the case remains far from certain. Only his next five years of rule will reveal the leader's true self.
Have something to say? Share your comment below. The thread will remain open for 24 hours after publication.

Curaçao isn't just the bright blue liqueur mixed into your beachside drinks. Situated next to its "ABC" counterparts of Aruba and Bonaire, this Caribbean island is building a reputation as a wellness destination thanks to its trendy spas, abundance of nature and utilization of the land's resources. Here's how to spend an extended wellness weekend on this charming tropical isle.
Travel can be tough on your body, and you're here to relax, right? Oasis Coral Estate Beach, Dive & Wellness Resort is home to 8 The Experience spa — and this place truly is an experience. Arrive early to treat yourself to a healing hot-cold combination. Start in the humid Tropical Steam Room, which improves circulation and clears congestion, or the Sahara Sauna, which relaxes and loosens muscles. Be sure to visit the Igloo afterward to close pores and bring down your body temperature.
Choose from a long list of specialized treatments employing Aveda products, like the chakra-balancing massage or the rosemary mint awakening body wrap. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary — and you're not afraid to get a little sore — try the Thai massage. Dressed in workout attire, you'll be bent, stretched and pushed past your limits, resulting in that post-yoga feeling. Afterward, luxuriate in the meditation pool overlooking the ocean or in the cliff-side Jacuzzis surrounded by botanicals.
Next, get your actual yoga on. Liberty Suares is the island's resident yogi, specializing in standup paddleboard classes. She founded Curaçao's first floating yoga studio, Dushi SUP. The gentle waves beneath you help you find stillness and peace of mind.
Curaçao is known for its massive aloe vera production. Take a trip to the Curaloe plantation in the capital city of Willemstad for a firsthand look at how 100,000-plus specimens are harvested and made into natural, organic and raw products that are sent all over the world. Islanders swear by this cure-all plant to treat everything from sunburns to bug bites to upset stomachs.
Den Paradera, meaning "the place where you feel at home," is herbalist Dinah Veeris's must-visit botanic garden. A household name across Curaçao, she grows more than 200 different plant species, and every single one has a purpose. Veeris sees clients by appointment to treat them holistically using ingredients straight from the land. She also has a shop with homemade oils, soaps and teas for you to take home to continue your wellness journey.
The Instagram-worthy views are bountiful here, and the best place from which to admire them is atop one of the island's climbable formations. Lace up your tennis shoes and hike to the top of Mount Christoffel, Curaçao's highest peak. As one of its many amenities, the four-star Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort offers guided hikes throughout its 2,000-plus-acre property. A knowledgeable guide will lead you up the best path, pointing out wildlife and identifying plant species along the way. Once you take in the views from the peak, you'll see why you traveled to Curaçao.

Officials at the Texas Tech University System announced today (March 31) that its endowment has surpassed $1 billion for the first time in the system's history, reaching a total of $1.043 billion.
"Increasing our endowment to more than $1 billion is a historic achievement for the Texas Tech University System," said Chancellor Kent Hance. "This has been a top priority of mine since becoming chancellor and puts us into an elite category of universities across the nation."
In August 2013, the TTU System completed its capital campaign, Vision & Tradition: The Campaign for Texas Tech, which raised more than $1.069 billion with the support of nearly 130,000 donors. The fundraising effort passed its goal almost a year ahead of schedule, receiving gifts from donors in all 50 states and 41 countries. All funds raised are being invested in the universities of the TTU System by expanding scholarships, establishing endowments and building new facilities on each campus.
"A big part of our success has been raising money," Hance said. "We have a great team of development officers and generous donors from around the world supporting us."
As a result of these fundraising efforts and the diligent management of investments, the TTU System's endowment has grown more than 80 percent in the last seven years. In August 2006, the TTU System's endowment was $548 million.
"We view our endowment in perpetuity and have worked diligently at the Texas Tech University System to make sound and strategic investments," said Jim Brunjes, vice chancellor and chief financial officer for the TTU System. "This has allowed our endowment to perform consistently over the past several years."
During this same time, the TTU System's endowment ranking in the Commonfund Study of Endowments by the National Association of College and University Business Officers has improved from No. 116 to No. 86 in the nation. In these standings, the TTU System has passed distinguished institutions such as University of Tennessee, University of Oregon, University of Arizona, Louisiana State University, Pepperdine University and many others.

Garcetti spokesman Yusef Robb said the mayor's remarks at the Mobility conference were not an indication of support for an extension of Measure R, the voter-approved half-cent sales tax that's currently paying for an array of rail, bus and highway projects.
Robb said Garcetti was simply referencing recent actions taken by Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich, who also sits on the MTA board. Antonovich has been talking to local communities about what projects they want to see built under another ballot initiative. Antonovich, along with County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky also authored a motion approved by the MTA board on Tuesday to allocate $500,000 to help the San Fernando Valley Council of Governments develop a "Mobility Matrix" that would identify some of the Valley's transportation needs.
"Cutting traffic is a priority for Mayor Garcetti and he is currently exploring all options to ease congestion for Angelenos," Robb said.
As we wrote the other day, nothing is currently on the table. But there certainly seems to be discussions on how projects could be accelerated or new projects funded.
Opportunity is exactly what Erika Bennett is seeking. She is hoping her company, Total Transportation Services Inc., a trucking company that transports cement and dirt to construction sites, will become one of the sub-consultants for the large firm that was awarded the Crenshaw contract, Walsh Shea Corridor Constructors.
"This is a good meet and greet," she said, as she walked up to the Walsh Shea table and introduced herself to the executives for the company.
Other attendees, such as Matsimela McMorris, were simply looking for a job. McMorris, who has been unemployed for more than a year, applied for a position as a custodian with Metro. But at the event, McMorris saw other possibilities, including becoming a bus operator.

Home » News » Press Releases » Attempted Eviction of Indigenous Community in Guatemala
CUC's Banner at a Learning Exchange in Mexico, August 2017.
Yesterday, Guatemalan National Civil Police and the Guatemalan army attempted to evict 93 Maya Q'eqchí families. Below, we are sharing a statement from our partner the Comité de Unidad Campesina (Peasant Unity Committee, CUC).
Attempted eviction in Chinebal, El Estor Izabal
Around 8:00 in the morning on July 21, 2021, a contingent of the armed forces of the National Civil Police and the Guatemalan Army, made up of 115 Civil National Police (PNC) patrols and 9 Army trucks, surrounded the Chinebal community, in El Estor Izabal, with the intention of evicting 93 Maya Q'eqchí families from said community. Faced with the threat of eviction from the community, the Human Rights Ombudsman (PDH) was present and entered the community together with the Public Ministry (MP), managing to establish a dialogue between the parties to prevent the eviction of families.
The Community of Chinebal has lived for more than 80 years in this territory, when neither roads nor highways existed, much less attention from the State. They have built their own development, ensuring the food security of their community, taking care of the forests, mountains and rivers. They have generated sources of employment and have fought, during all these years before the corresponding authorities, for the recognition of their lands. However; the racist government of Alejandro Giammattei threatens, intimidates and tries to evict this and other communities from their territories, burn their homes and belongings, as well as the destruction of their crops, responding to the interests of the oil palm company Naturaceites that has requested the eviction of these families, even though they are settled, is a territory, since the 1940s.
We denounced that while the eviction attempt was being carried out, around 10:30 in the morning, members of the PNC and the Army in attack formation and with threats demanded that the community destroy their own homes, otherwise they would use force to evict.
At the negotiation table, it was agreed to postpone today's eviction by the Judge of the Court of Peace, Estor Izabal. With this, the PNC, Army and MP forces were withdrawn from the perimeter of the community, but they left a message threatening the eviction of the families of the Chinebal community.
From the Campesino Unity Committee (CUC), we denounce these violent acts against the Mayan Q'eqchi 'families of the Chinebal community, and we demand the Giammattei government to cease its repressive policies against the communities and their families.
The country is immersed in a situation of health crisis derived from the mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic by this government, evicting 93 families from the Palestina Chinebal community places them in a high degree of vulnerability to the situation.
To the international community and the different bodies such as the Human Rights Ombudsman's Office and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), we request that the Q'eqchí communities of the North of the country be constantly accompanied, in the face of the multiple threats and evictions that the Guatemalan government carries out against of this population.

Change is in the air…and everywhere in between. When it comes to product stewardship and responsible sourcing, you're dealing with all of the elements that go into product design outside of traditional day-to-day workplace operations. Instead, it's about how a product impacts environmental, health, and safety (EHS) and sustainability during the procurement process. Product stewardship and responsible souring are a dynamic space. During Gensuite's second year in attendance at the Product Stewardship Conference in Washington, D.C., we discussed how to manage some of the biggest changes to product stewardship and responsible sourcing, such as an increase in customer demands. Here's a deeper look into the top takeaways from the Product Stewardship Conference 2018 as well as some of these changes.
Simplify Workflow. Product stewardship continues to be a process that only 1 or 2 people manage within an organization, although it takes people from all functional groups to be involved in the process, otherwise it makes it more difficult. In order to minimize the burden without using all of your organizational manpower, there are tools that make it easier. Gensuite offers a Mobile tool for product stewardship and responsible sourcing management to help organizations monitor, track and streamline supplier engagement.
Increase in Customer Demands. Customers are demanding new and more complex product information. These demands are beginning to outpace regulatory demands–even if a company doesn't have regulatory demands, customers do. This speaks for a need of flexibility and programs within organizations to adapt very quickly. Solutions heavily focused on a few regulations (i.e. REACH, RoHS, conflict minerals) don't provide enough flexibility to manage outside of those regulations. Gensuite's product stewardship and responsible sourcing solution ensures compliance with product regulations while meeting customer requests, and you can customize the tool to meet your specific organizational needs.
These steps will help your organization stay in touch with the regulatory change process as well as go from insight to action. The Gensuite Product Stewardship and Responsible Sourcing tool monitors and tracks new/updated global regulations by country and jurisdiction and facilitates action so you know that you will always be within compliance standards.
There are many moving parts involved with product stewardship and responsible sourcing management. It's not just about compliance anymore, but how well your organization responds to customer change, how smart your products are designed, and you need to ensure you have an able-bodied team to help you manage it all. Change is constant and Gensuite is here to help. Contact us today to learn more.

Are you dissatisfied with your job? Looking for something new, or maybe just looking to refresh your outlook at your current job? People are working longer hours at work, despite the fact that technology was supposed to reduce that amount and make us more efficient. Career counseling can help.
Job dissatisfaction is high, and people are feeling social pressures to perform well, perform for a long time, and still have energy and time to spend on other life issues (kids, family, and friends). Unlike the past, you will not likely work for the same company into retirement.
Companies are cutting back employees and benefits, while employee disloyalty rises. You spend 35% of your lifetime at work… shouldn't it feel more rewarding to you? Career-counseling and coaching can help you with your work/life problems. We can help you with not just work issues, but all areas that your work life can affect.

Scottish hospitality and tourism industry reacts to VAT slash from 20% to 5%
By Kieran Beattie and John Ross
Dunnottar Castle
Restaurants, hotels and visitor attractions have welcomed plans to slash VAT to just 5% for the next six months – but warned it may not be enough to save the tourism industry.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak yesterday announced plans to cut VAT rate for tourism and hospitality sectors from Wednesday, until January 12.
The reduction will apply to all manner of businesses in the sector including cinemas, theme parks, zoos, restaurants, hotels, takeaways and campsites.
Mr Sunak described the move as a "£4billion catalyst benefitting over 150,000 businesses and consumers everywhere – all helping to protect 2.4 million jobs."
Freda Newton, managing director of the cruise firm Loch Ness by Jacobite, which also operates the An Talla cafe on the Caledonian Canal, said the new measures were "great news, but it's not long enough".
She said: "We've talked about hospitality going through three winters, I actually think it will be five. It won't be back to the same level next year as it is now and all our competitor nations where people will be looking to go on holiday have much lower VAT rates than the UK."
Her thoughts were echoed by Sheila Howarth, owner of Stonehaven's Belvedere Hotel.
She said: "My initial thought is that this is excellent, but my next thought is that six months is just not long enough.
"It's been absolutely horrific, right now it's like we're starting a new business from nothing again.
"The VAT cut will be a help, especially in combination with rates relief, but it doesn't go far enough.
"Every little helps, but we really would need a whole year of 5% VAT for it to really make an impact for us."
Murray Lamont, owner of Mackays Hotel in Wick, said: "Hospitality has been looking for a cut in VAT for a long time and this will make a difference.
"However I would have preferred it to be longer, perhaps to April. It would have been more beneficial being over the whole of winter months.
"It will make the home product appear better value and may stop people going abroad because the hotel and restaurant prices will be able to be better value.
"It will put us on a par with the likes of Portugal and Ireland."
While zoos don't charge VAT on tickets, there is a charge on items in shops and cafes.
David Field, chief executive of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland which operates the Highland Wildlife Park, said: "Any measure which helps financially at this difficult time is very welcome.
"We have reopened Highland Wildlife Park and Edinburgh Zoo with limits on visitor numbers to ensure social distancing and the safety of people visiting and our staff and animals.
"However, lower visitor numbers will reduce our income over the vital summer months and we still face repaying millions of pounds in government loans due to our parks being closed for three months."
Mike Ward, curator of the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford, said he hopes the VAT reduction will future-proof the attraction.
"It's great that the tourism industry is being recognised like this, as it's a massive earner for the UK and a huge employer, especially for young people," he said.
"The VAT reduction for us will definitely help us, it will be a net saving for us, but right now we're not sure without number crunching how much of a saving it will be just yet.
"We've budgeted for 50% of our normal visitor numbers ahead of reopening.
"At 50% we can just about avoid going bust, so it's going to be difficult to pass on any savings from VAT on to our customers – it's more likely that any savings will go towards keeping the museum afloat."
In Aberdeen, the Belmont Filmhouse recently ran a successful £25,000 fundraiser to stay afloat while facing a reduction in audiences due to physical distancing once the doors reopen.
Colin Farquhar, the head of cinema operations, said: "The reduction in VAT will be really helpful for us, that almost gives us an extra pound on every ticket."
Jim Wards, custodian of Dunottar Castle, also welcomed the move to "stimulate businesses" and get them back to "some sort of normality".
"Anything that helps businesses at this time is a good thing," he added.

Investment Overview for Coca Cola (NYSE:KO)
${header:whathaschanged}
Coca-Cola looking to improve profitability under a new CEO
The new Chief Executive Officer, James Quincey, has laid out plans to improve the Coca-Cola's profitability that goes beyond its refranchising to laying-off workers. The company plans to redesign its organization to make it faster and more agile, and as it creates a more focused, leaner corporate center and broadened enabling services, it could result in the laying off of around 1,200 workers beginning in the second half of this year and carrying into the next year.
The new productivity plan means that Coca-Cola now has extended its previous productivity plan to save $3 billion in annual savings by 2019 to achieve incremental savings of ~$800 million, bringing its current program to $3.8 billion in productivity savings. If the $500 million of productivity that will transfer to Coca-Cola's bottling partners due to the accelerated pace of refranchising is added, the program extends to $4.3 billion in productivity savings by 2019.
Coca-Cola restructuring its way to more profitability
Coca-Cola is refranchising many of its bottling operations in a bid to move away from the capital intensive and low margin business of bottling, and focus more on the concentrate business as the consumption of carbonated drinks continues to slow down, especially in developed markets. Coca-Cola's net sales growth has been hurt in the last few quarters due to structural changes.
In 2017, the company accomplished major milestones in three of its most important markets. The bottling businesses in China was sold; KO's two largest bottlers in Japan merged creating a single bottler, covering roughly 85% of the system; and most importantly, Coca-Cola completed the refranchising of its U.S. bottling operations.
A bottling business comes with four to five times more revenue per drink sold and the accompanying cost. Thus, any impact on the sales of the bottler is going to have a magnified impact on overall sales for Coca-Cola and much less effect on the company's profits.
Coca-Cola is, therefore, focusing more on capitalizing on profitability in the concentrate business and looking to refranchise some of its bottling investments.
Coca-Cola To Debut First Branded Energy Drink In Europe
In March 2019, the Coca-Cola Co. decided on releasing its first energy drink under the Coca-Cola brand in Europe. KO will debut Coca-Cola Energy in Spain and Hungary starting in April. The new beverage tastes like a Coke and includes caffeine from naturally-derived sources, guarana extracts, B vitamins and no taurine. A no-sugar, no-calorie option also will be available. The beverage is aimed primarily at young adults, age 18 to 35. Coca-Cola Energy is more than three-times as caffeinated as a regular Coke — 80 mg of caffeine vs. 24 mg.
Coca-Cola's Revenue Remains Pressured, But Core Business Remains Solid
Coca-Cola announced its FY 2018 results on February 14, with its revenue of $31.9 billion and EPS of $0.43 meeting consensus expectation. Even though the core performance of the company remained solid in the quarter, the top line took a hit due to the refranchising of bottling operations across geographies. This trend has continued for the past several quarters, with a 17% headwind to the revenues reported this time around. Meanwhile, the margins continued their upward trajectory as a result of the divestiture from the low-margin bottling business. Consequently, the comparable operating margin (non-GAAP) improved 385 basis points, helping improve the earnings as well. The revenue growth was driven by products such as Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, FUZE Tea, and Smartwater, while earnings growth was spurred by a reduced tax rate, share buybacks, and operating margin expansion as a result of its refranchising efforts. These trends can be expected to continue in 2019 as well.
Acquisition of Chi Ltd
On January 30, 2019, Coca-Cola announced the acquisition of Chi Ltd in Nigeria. Chi is recognized in West Africa as an innovative, fast-growing leader in expanding beverage categories, including juices, value-added dairy and iced tea. It produces juice under the Chivita brand and value-added dairy under the Hollandia brand, among many other products. This acquisition further signals Coca-Cola's optimism about Africa's consumer opportunity and a commitment to its long-term investment and growth plan on the continent, where it has been present for more than 90 years.

Below are key drivers of the Coca-Cola Company that present opportunities for upside or downside to the current Trefis price estimate:
Coca-Cola North America EBITDA Margin
North America EBITDA Margin : While the margins had been falling in the past, there are expected to grow positively in the future as a result of the refranchising of the bottling operations, reaching 38% by the end of our forecast period. If the commodity prices rise, offsetting any benefit received from the refranchising and the margins remain at a similar level, we could see the Trefis price estimate revised downwards by 10%. However, if the gross margins improve to 50% on account of increased cash productivity, there could be a 10% upside to our price estimate.
${header:summary}
The Coca-Cola Company is the world's world's largest beverage company, with more than 500 nonalcoholic beverage brands in the sparkling soft drinks; water, enhanced water and sports drinks; juice, dairy and plant-based beverages; tea and coffee; and energy drinks categories. The company owns and markets four of the world's top five nonalcoholic sparkling soft drink brands: Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Fanta, and Sprite. Sparkling soft drinks represented 69 percent, 69 percent and 70 percent of the company's worldwide unit case volume for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
${header:trends}
Soft drink companies adapting to changing consumer needs
Soft drink consumption is on a decline in developed countries as consumers switch to healthier alternatives such as juices, Ready-to-Drink (RTD) teas, RTD coffee, water mixers, etc. Moreover, soft drinks are prone to higher taxation due to their unhealthy nature. Hence, volume consumption is on a decline in the U.S. and Europe. Developing nations, on the other hand, offer tremendous potential in terms of volume growth. Soft drink consumption (per capita) in countries like China, India, and Brazil is still only a fraction of what it is in the developed world.
Diet soft drinks are suffering declining volumes in developed markets
Consumers have been shifting to natural and healthier beverages with less sugar and calorie content due to the health risks associated with sugary drinks. The diet counterparts have fared even worse, with the artificial sweetener aspartame being criticized for causing sugar cravings, dehydration, weight gain, and even heart diseases. Consumers have also reported bitter aftertastes of diet drinks which use the natural sweetener stevia, initially considered a bankable solution.
Coca-Cola eyeing new markets such as sparkling water
The Coca-Cola Company North America announced the acquisition of premium sparkling mineral water brand Topo Chico in the beginning of October 2017. Topo Chico will continue to be imported from Cerro del Topo Chico in northern Mexico, where it has been bottled exclusively since 1895. The company has a long history with this brand as the first Coca-Cola bottle in Mexico was manufactured at this facility. This deal has been made as a part of the company's Venturing & Emerging Brands (VEB), a business unit whose aim is to identify and nurture brands that have a billion-dollar potential. It functions like a venture capital arm of Coca-Cola that meets with brands that are mostly in the start-up phase, and which are poised for market disruption. Given that nationally, more than $2.3 billion worth of bottled sparkling water is sold every year, according to consumer market researcher Information Resources Inc., it is definitely a significant market for Coca-Cola to ply its trade.
Bottled water is growing at a fast pace globally
According to the Canadean, consumption of packaged water overtook the intake of carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) in 2015.
While growth in the bottled water category is expected to continue outpacing growth in the CSD category in the next few years, most of this growth will come from emerging markets such as China, Mexico, and India--where clean tap water is not as easily available.
Growing health concerns have prompted customers to reduce their consumption of calorie-filled beverages such as CSDs and juices. This has benefited the bottled water category, as some customers have switched to consuming bottled water instead of other sugary beverages. The U.S. is the fastest growing bottled water market outside of Asia. This trend is expected to continue and, thus, boost the U.S. bottled water market size. Bottled water overtook CSDs as America's largest beverage category in volume in 2016.

Home Security Human Security Goma tests Ebola response
Goma tests Ebola response
Written by Reuters -
Ebola vaccination station in Goma.
Deo Bakulu washes his hands at every opportunity since Ebola reached eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city Goma last month.
The washing station set up by local authorities near his home is open from 8 am to 6 pm Monday through Saturday and he has no running water.
"Does Ebola only spread during the day?" he asked as a health official at a different station aimed an infrared thermometer at his temple. "What about Sundays?"
Goma, a city of nearly two million, is on high alert after the first transmission of the virus there was confirmed last week. That raised fears the outbreak could spread in the city and beyond via its border with Rwanda and the international airport.
A gold miner carried the virus from the epicentre of the epidemic, several hundred kilometres north. He spent a week at home ill with his wife and 10 children before being transferred to hospital, where he died. His wife and daughter tested positive for the disease.
Goma has had time to get ready for Ebola, given a nearly year-long head start as the disease raged near Beni and Butembo. Most residents appear to have taken the latest developments in their stride, queuing up at washing stations set up by government and private businesses and avoiding shaking hands.
There are shortcomings in preparations and medics encounter some of the same suspicion and hostility they faced in other outbreak hotspots. In the current epidemic, the virus killed more than 1 800 people, the second-highest toll ever.
Whether health authorities can apply lessons from those hotspots will determine if they claim victory in Goma or if the epidemic will hurtle toward the grim record of more than 11 300 deaths registered by West Africa's 2014-16 Ebola outbreak.
"The system was there before, which is good, so we're not starting from scratch," said Kate White, medical emergency manager for French medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). "It definitely needs to be reinforced and scaled up."
The three cases in Goma set off a scramble to find and vaccinate more than 800 direct and indirect contacts. As of Tuesday, all but five were vaccinated, said Tresor Amiri, the World Health Organisation's (WHO) vaccination chief in Goma.
Officials are cautiously optimistic about containing the virus in Goma. No additional cases have been identified and the miner's wife and daughter are recovering.
"We hope they will bethe first people cured in Goma," said Jean-Jacques Muyembe, head of the Ebola response across Congo, adding their survival would show people "if you show up for treatment early chances of survival are relatively good."
A previous case in Goma led the WHO to declare the outbreak an international health emergency three weeks ago, but it did not result in further transmission in Goma.
Authorities chalk up those successes to elaborate preparations since the outbreak was declared last August.
Ferdinand Tangenyi (23) is a volunteer going door-to-door with illustrated flipbooks warning against handling bloodied clothes or cleaning up vomit. Public service announcements run repeatedly on radio.
At the Rwanda border, crossed by an estimated 45 000 people daily, travellers have temperatures taken twice each side. Rwanda briefly closed the border last week but re-opened it when experts warned the move would encourage illicit crossings.
Officials established protocols to handle cases, isolated in a special ward at the main hospital. After two months of construction, a 72-bed centre built by MSF exclusively for Ebola received its first suspected cases last week.
Steep challenges remain. On Saturday, relatives of a boy referred to the MSF centre from a local hospital with fever and diarrhoea showed up to demand his release.
A male relative threatened to burn the facility down. "They were right in Butembo," he said, referring to unidentified assailants who torched MSF's treatment centre there in February, leading the charity to suspend activities.
"We had fevers and diarrhoea since I was a child," said a female relative. "Why does a fever now equal Ebola?"
An MSF official was able to defuse the situation and the relatives left.
MSF is taking additional steps to reassure the population in Goma and avoid conspiracy theories that undermined response near Beni and Butembo. The Goma centre, for example, was built with see-through fencing to pre-empt rumours of anything nefarious happening inside, said Alexis Touchais, construction manager.
Francine Mulangala, who goes door-to-door informing people about Ebola in the Goma neighbourhood where the gold miner lived, was threatened by more than a dozen people demanding to see his body.
"If anyone gets sick, we are going to kill you," she recalled them saying.
The local government has limited ability to deliver crucial services. Only 10% of the population has access to running water and many rely on communal latrines. The population is mobile with traders crossing into Rwanda daily, some outside official checkpoints.
The driver of a special Ebola ambulance in Goma, who asked not to be named, said drivers had not been paid in six months. The provincial health ministry could not be reached for comment.
Residents were eager to be vaccinated, but could not be because only those exposed to Ebola patients or their contacts are currently eligible. A decision on whether to deploy a second vaccine to cover a more people is bogged down by wrangling in the Congolese government.
"The population accepts Ebola is real," said Joseph Mumbere, a money changer. "But it is hard to get the vaccine."

Even Former NOM Executives Believe Marriage Equality Is Imminent
Posted on August 21, 2014 by Four Corners Alliance for Diversity
Jennifer Roback-Morse, who has a long history working with the antigay National Organization for Marriage, expects marriage equality to be legal nationwide by next fall.
Jennifer Roback-Morse
Amid growing evidence that the antigay right wing has lost its battle opposing same-sex marriage, yet another prominent anti-equality voice has conceded that marriage equality will soon be the law of the land — by next year, according to her estimation.
Jennifer Roback-Morse spent more than a decade affiliated with the antigay National Organization, first as a spokesperson for California's now-defunct Proposition 8, then as a senior official of NOM's "Marriage Education Fund." She still serves as the president of the NOM-backed antigay think tank she founded, known as the Ruth Institute. For the past 20 years, Morse has literally made her living by stoking fears about the cultural and economic doom that marriage equality would bring upon the nation, focusing especially on the scientifically disproven claim that children suffer when they are raised by same-sex parents.
Now, however, Morse is singing a different tune, telling the National Catholic Singles' Conference in San Diego this month that she wanted to "go on the record" about "what is going to happen as we move along the path of redefining marriage."
"We're here, in 2014, talking about the redefinition of marriage. I'm going to go on the record here, and forecast, that by this time next year, it'll be over, as a legal matter," Morse continues. "There will be same-sex, genderless marriage in every state in the union."
Morse went on to apologize to any Texans in the room, telling them that they "are not going to be able to hold out" on maintaining discriminatory marriage laws. (Indeed, a federal judge in February ruled that Texas' constitutional ban on same-sex marriage violated the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the U.S. Constitution. The state's attorney general has appealed that ruling.)
Good As You founder, GLAAD correspondent, and an honoree in this year's Advocate's 40 Under 40, Jeremy Hooper tracked down this latest piece of audio, noting that the timeline Morse estimates for legal marriage equality nationwide is shorter than even the most ardent pro-equality advocates foresee.
"Even I would allow for a two-year timeline," writes Hooper. "But if Ms. Roback-Morse wants to help speed up the inevitable, who am I to stop her?"
Morse isn't the only former antigay talking head to wave the white flag in the fight for equal marriage rights. Last year, former NOM president Maggie Gallagher began echoing a similar refrain, encouraging antigay activists to focus on finding ways to survive in the amoral landscape that she believes will come about if LGBT couples are allowed to marry the person of their choice.
Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch, an outspoken opponent to marriage equality, the repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell,' and supporter of the now-overturned federal Defense of Marriage Act, told a local radio station in May that "anybody who does not believe that gay marriage is going to be the law of the land hasn't been observing what's been going on." He anticipated that the U.S. Supreme Court, when it takes up at least one of the several cases seeking marriage equality before it, will rule in favor of same-sex couples' right to marry.
Currently, same-sex couples can legally marry in 19 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Nationwide, there are 79 lawsuits aiming to strike down individual state laws banning same-sex marriage, being advanced in 32 states and territories, according to advocacy group Freedom to Marry. Since last summer's landmark Supreme Court rulings, which struck down DOMA and California's Prop. 8, 37 state and federal judges have ruled in favor of equality. Just one — a state judge in Tennessee — determined that the state's ban on same-sex marriage was constitutional.

Thread: The Cult of NATO/ATON

Why Is NATO Selling Arms to Dictatorship's
On December 29, the White House announced that it was sending nearly $30 billion worth of F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, part of a $60 billion package—the largest arms deal in history. President Obama has come a long way since his 2008 declaration that "nothing is more important than us no longer borrowing $700 billion or more from China and sending it to Saudi Arabia." Apparently it was the borrowing part that really irked him—not the arming of a gender-apartheid, theocratic dictatorship.
The justification for the arms sale is simple. The deal will provide at least 50,000 jobs to Americans—good PR at a time of great economic distress. More importantly, it is intended to counter the very real threat of Iran, a regional menace that has brutally repressed its own people and sponsored terrorism worldwide. But arming one theocratic dictator to stop another is not only bad policy, it is profoundly immoral.

White House announces arms sale to Saudi Arabia...
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- The White House announced on Thursday a major arms sale deal to Saudi Arabia worth around 29.4 billion dollars.
"The United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have signed a government-to-government agreement under the Foreign Military Sales program to provide advanced F-15SA combat aircraft to the Royal Saudi Air Force," White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Joshua Earnest said in a statement.
The agreement includes production of 84 new aircraft and the modernization of 70 existing aircraft, as well as munitions, spare parts, training, maintenance and logistics, according to the statement.
"This agreement reinforces the strong and enduring relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, and demonstrates the U. S. commitment to a strong Saudi defense capability as a key component to regional security," it said.
The deal was part of an arms sale package the Obama administration announced more than a year ago. In October 2010, the White House said it planned to sell 60 billion dollars of military equipment to Saudi Arabia over 15 to 20 years, which would be the single largest military sale in U.S. history.

HomeArtsSteam Whistle Showcases the Good Beer Folk Talent
Steam Whistle Showcases the Good Beer Folk Talent
January 11, 2015 Courtney Miceli Arts, Visual Arts
Photos by Courtney Miceli
Between the good beer, the art-focused events, and the lively people, one thing at the Steam Whistle Brewery is nearly guaranteed, "You always leave happier than when you came in," says Jenny Henderson.
Henderson is Steam Whistle's art gallery coordinator and organized their first art exhibition of the year. To kick of 2015, the brewery is dedicating their January show to the creative talents of the Steam Whistle staff. The show opened at Steam Whistle's Roundhouse on January 7th, complete with paintings, photographs, drawings and music all produced by the Good Beer Folks who run the brewery.
In her blue Steam Whistle button-up, Henderson jumped between chatting with guests and serving cold ones behind the bar. Her personal journey with the company began six years ago when she was hired as a retail and events employee. With both a degree and a passion for fine arts, Henderson eventually had the opportunity to work with Steam Whistle in creating the art gallery coordinator position that she holds today. "It's great that they would allow me to combine my passions here at the brewery," she said.
Steam Whistle is widely recognized for its commitment to Toronto's artistic community. Since its gallery space opened 15 years ago, the brewery has hosted over 100 art exhibitions—all without gaining a cent of commission on the artists' works. There are also no rent charges for using The Roundhouse gallery space. Steam Whistle's only request for artists is that they donate one art piece of their choice to the brewery's permanent collection at the close of their show.
Steam Whistle's support for the arts is now intertwining with its outstanding employer reputation. It's received the title of one of Canada's Best Managed Companies for six years in a row, and is one of Canada's Top Employers for Young People. So how exactly does Steam Whistle have so much talent within its own walls? Do you need to have some sort of artistic portfolio when applying for a job at the brewery? Not at all, but the company's keen eye for charisma and passion has produced a unique roster of creative minds.
Staff members display a spectrum of talent at the January art show. Alex Courneya, a retail and events supervisor at Steam Whistle, has always had a particular passion for photography. During an elementary class field trip to the zoo, Courneya brought along an old 35mm camera that belonged to her parents. "A camera hasn't been far from my side since," she said. Courneya is displaying four photographs at the show, one of which was purchased on opening night along with eight other staff pieces.
Although Courneya has been cultivating her hobby for years, some Steam Whistle staff members are trying their hand at visual art for the first time. In each case, however, the art exhibition has surely helped the Good Beer Folks feel a tad happier than when they arrived. "The whole company is like a family. We all have the same electricity," Henderson says. "Creative energy just helps [us all] meld."
The staff exhibition is free and open to the public through the month of January. You can visit the Steam Whistle Roundhouse on Monday to Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For years, outside observers loved to make excuses for Golden Valley's struggles. Now that they've been winning — there's been excuses for that, too. Friday night, the Grizzlies 28-7 CIF-Southern Section Division 7 quarterfinal win over El Segundo at Canyon High School wasn't a Cinderella story — it was a winning story. There was no magic slipper, nor clock to strike midnight.
There was, though, a swarming defense, a wide receiver in Jaelin Lewis who pulled in 14 passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns, and a power back named KJ Maduike to take the ball right at the Eagles to the tune of 139 yards on 35 carries. So sideline the Cinderella talk — because there's nothing unexpected about this season as far as the Grizzlies are concerned. "No, I don't believe that," said Golden Valley head coach Dan Kelley of being a 'Cinderella story.' "We're playing good football, that's what you have to do in the playoffs." For a program hosting a postseason game for the first time in its history, the Grizzlies (8-4, 2-3) looked like the seasoned vets.
After the Eagles (10-2, 4-1) tied the score at 7-7 on an 82-yard pass from Jake Palmer to Danny McEntee with 3:31 left in the first quarter, the Grizzlies' poise was on full display. Quarterback Josh Valano marched Golden Valley right down the field, capping the drive with a heave to the back-left corner of the end zone where Lewis out-jumped his defender to pull in the touchdown with 9.5 seconds remaining in the quarter for a lead his team would never relinquish.
Lewis made another spectacular grab late in the second quarter, this one a leaping catch as he fell into the end zone just inside the right pylon. "That boy has ice water in his veins," Madiuke said of Lewis. "The things he's going to do in the Foothill League next year — I love that boy." It wasn't all the offense on Friday night, though, as the Grizzlies defense overcame the early miscue that resulted in the Eagles' lone score. Golden Valley forced four fumbles, recovering two of them, and D.J. Mcintyre intercepted a pass midway through the second quarter that set up Lewis' second grab. None of the turnovers were as pressing as a third quarter recovery at the Grizzlies 31, when El Segundo's Ashton Saltz coughed up the ball in Golden Valley territory. At the time, the Eagles were looking to pull within one score.
