Indian denim fabric industry is expected to grow at six percent CAGR over 2013-18 driven largely by volume growth. Images Business of Fashion analyses growth levels, latest trends and future of denim fabric in India.
Denim is a vital component in the world of fashion. There is no second opinion that it has today emerged as a staple in every wardrobe. It is a fabric of choice for the youth. The Indian denim industry which started cementing its roots in 1986 has today grown to a dynamic hub of over 32 denim mills producing a total 1,100 million meters per annum denim fabric collectively.
The domestic denim fabric industry is expected to grow at six percent CAGR over 2013-18 driven largely by volume growth (healthy demand for denim jeans and RMG). Domestic demand for RMG is also expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5 percent to Rs. 1,705 billion over 2013-18 driven primarily by volume growth of four to five percent, while realisations are expected to grow one percent.
Rural demand is expected to outstrip urban demand for RMG, as the rural market remains signifi cantly under-penetrated.India's exports of RMG are expected to grow faster than domestic market, and is estimated to register CAGR of six to seven percent over 2013-18. Growing demand for RMG, in both domestic and export markets, is expected to boost the domestic denim fabric industry.
Within the RMG market, the jeans segment is expected to witness steady growth. CRISIL Research expects the market size for denim jeans to reach Rs. 114 billion in 2018 from Rs. 89 billion in 2013, implying a five percent CAGR over the period. Growth is expected to be driven by volume growth of four percent, while realisation growth is likely to be muted at one percent. The domestic denim fabric market is expected to grow in line with the denim jeans market. Increase in demand for jeans is expected to be driven by three factors:
- Increasing preference for casual and semi-formal clothing
- Many corporate, led by Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) firms accepting casualwear as offi ce wear
- Changing demographic profile of consumers owing to higher disposable income
Currently, the jeans market in India is under penetrated – per capita consumption of jeans is 0.3 pairs per year, significantly lower than two to three pairs per year in developed nations such as the US and the EU. This represents a very significant growth potential for the industry.
The denim fabric industry in India is fragmented – over 32 denim mills with capacities ranging from 10 MMPA to 110 MMPA manufacture denim in India. While some of these players (such as Arvind) focus on exports, most derive majority of their revenues from the domestic markets.
This makes the domestic denim industry highly competitive. With limited scope for product differentiation and moderate requirement of capital, the entry barriers are also moderate in this industry.
The denim fabric industry in India is currently facing an oversupply situation – overall installed capacity for manufacturing denim fabrics in India stands at 1,100 MMPA, while average utilisation rates are 80-85 percent amounting to a total supply of 850-900 MMPA. However, the total demand for denim fabric is estimated to be 700-750 MMPA, out of which 70-75 percent is consumed locally and the rest is exported.
This represents a demand-supply gap of 150-200 MMPA. With many leading players planning to expand, overall capacity is expected to reach 1,200 MMPA by 2015. The oversupply in the domestic market may impact the utilisation rate of Indian denim fabric manufacturers.
The Indian denim fabric industry is cyclical in nature and is characterised by periods of excess capacity followed by narrowing demand-supply gap. The incubation period for denim manufacturing units is small. Thus, post a period of growing demand, a number of denim fabric manufacturers put up additional capacity to meet future demand growth, which in turn leads to oversupply in the market. The domestic denim industry has witnessed this cyclicality twice in the past, fi rst major downturn between 1998 and 2001 owing to high capacity installation in China, followed by a period of rapid growth in demand over 2002-07. To cater to increasing demand, denim fabric producers added fresh capacity. However, post 2008, domestic and export demand for denim fabric in India declined owing to the global economic meltdown, which effected the utilisation rates of denim fabric manufacturers. With gradual recovery in global economy and declining cost competitiveness of China, demand for denim fabric picked up post 2011, which prompted players to again embark on capacity expansion.
Identifying the challenges Mayank Jain, VP, Malwa Industries says, "We are only followers. Only a few innovations like Indigo Wool (international patents with Malwa Industry) have come out of Indian mills. The mills in Japan and Turkey are quite ahead of us. India's USP is definitely the large raw material base, the skill-expertise and experience availability at various levels of the production and business chain. In fact, labour isn't that cheap anymore."
Pricing depends on the term price of cotton, the type of fabrics and manufacturing unit and its brand value. Rajan Gupta, National Sales Head, KG Denim explains, "Good denim qualities in 100 percent rigid stuffs, fl at fi nish in 11.5-12.5oz, fall in the range of Rs. 140 to Rs. 160 in slubs/xhatch/fi ne slubs, if we cite the price to distributors, who in turn supply to the ultimate cutters by adding their mark ups based on credit terms settled. Stretch denim qualities prices for quality oriented products range from Rs. 185 to Rs. 225 in 11-12 oz in fine slubs, silky, etc. to distributors as cited for non-stretch they too are then marked up."
Movements on the cotton price fronts is critical. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) fi rst world 2014-15 cotton projections anticipate that production will exceed consumption for the fifth consecutive season, with the potential for record global stocks to exceed 100 million bales. World stocks have more than doubled between 2009-10 and 2013-14, mainly due to the cotton policies of China, which have supported world prices above market-clearing levels. China's government now intends to reduce support levels; however, world stocks are unlikely to fall in 2014-15 as the adoption of new policies will be gradual and world production and consumption responses will lag changes in policy and prices. China's stock level is expected to stabilize, and stocks held outside of China are likely to grow. USDA projects that lower China domestic support levels, higher stocks outside of China, and falling grain and oilseed prices could reduce the world cotton price to a five-year low. Latest data as per Crisil Research says that the cotton prices are expected to decline in 2014-15, averaging 110 per kg. This will push India's cotton inventory to a six-year high of about three months. Cotton inventory will increase despite an expected two percent decline in production, as cotton will decline by a higher three-five percent; exports will decline due to sharp fall in China's import demand, which is India's largest export market for cotton.
As per the data shared by KG Denim and LNJ, The total denim fabric capacity worldwide if we sum the produce of the main 300 manufacturing units will be approx. 7.5 billion yards which is expected to touch 10.5 billion yards by the year 2021. The leading country in denim fabric production and supplies is definitely China having a capacity of approximately 2-2.5 billion yards per annum. China is joined by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey, and Brazil as other major manufacturers.
Due to the increase in pricing of the local currency in China and in order to control pollution norms, the Chinese government has put a restriction on manufacturing on a lot of textile composite units which are suspected of adding to the increase in pollution in China. The country despite having a lot of good quality denim units remains infamous for its volume centric approach and offering basic qualities at competitive prices. Now since the Indian government has increased import duty in order to restrict imports so there is not much charm left for import of goods. Moreover, Indian mills have equipped themselves with suffi cient infrastructure and are actively participating in offering new developments keeping in view the latest trends. So Indians do not have to look for alternative/variety from other countries.
Mayank Jain from Malwa Industries opines "I do feel that after a few years Chinese mills are bringing back the competitiveness in their offerings. For quite a few years, lately, China was giving competition to India only in few product categories but now those categories are increasing. Their production is still huge and much larger than us."
The Indian denim fabric industry started with modern equipment by adopting state of the art technologies: rope dyeing and slasher dyeing. Today, Indian denim is available in wide range of fabric weight starting from 4.5 oz, 6.5 oz 8 oz 11 oz 13 oz 14.5 oz in 58/60 inch width. The popular count range used for different weight denims are 6s, 7s, 10s, 12s, 16s and 21s with yarn spun both on ring /open end spinning system. Weaving has shifted to Airjet looms and popular weaves are plain weave 1/1, twills 2/1 and 3/1, broken twills, 4/1, satins and herringbone twills.
R C Panwar, Joint President Marketing, Century Textiles and Industries explains "Latest trend in denim fabric is dobby structured peach overy dyed with different dark colours. Currently, rich look knitted denim with super stretch and diagonal twill structure is in trend." Fabric construction continues to be heavy with warp weft combinations of OE x OE – Basic Denim, OE x Elasthane, Ring x OE, Ring x Ring, Ring x Elasthane, Crosshatch denims, Slub Denims, Structured (dobby) Denims, Polyester fi lament weft denims, Poly Stretch fabrics. Multi-count denim fabrics, over-dyed and tinted denims, silky denims, light weight (5 oz to 6.5 oz) denims, doubled yarn warp denims etc. Commenting on the international trends Panwar says "In the international market mainly it is stretch and non stretch 100 percent multi-ring with super coated/neo colour denim. Major brands are asking for unique varieties like khadi denim, tencel/modal/different fibres blend possibly by using T400 Lycra."
According to Prabir Bandyopadhyay, CEO, LNJ Bhilwara Group, "The latest developments are coated denim. Denim is being made to look like leather, coloured on the inside. Then is the Jacquard denims that can be used as jeggings, women's wear, shirts, kids wear and also can be used as furnishing fabric. Different structures are in trend which includes knit look and corduroy." Talking on the trends internationally he further explains, "Colours, structures and patterns are becoming cleaner and subtle. Glossy surfaces are no more existing. Focus is on backing materials and making reverse side of the fabric attractive. There is a noticeable trend towards more robust with more durability and a nice feel to the fabric. Double cloths are making a comeback with a mid-layer material. New generation denims are differentiated with cooling and warming effects also."
Jain, is of the opinion that "The denim fabric market in India is looking out for specialities like knit-indigos along with various kinds of fancy weaves and dobbies. Knit-Indigos are holding an important place in the trends circle. Alongside, more and more stretch ability in the fabrics paired with nice recovery is what the brands are on the constant look-out. New colours blended in indigo keep adding to the fun."
P G Niyogi, CEO, Oswal Denims shares an example of his company, "We at Oswal Denims work on the defi nition of perception development where we fi rst show some samples of the new range to the prospective customer and if they like it then we proceed with the manufacturing. We welcome their feedback and suggestion to make the product stand out in the market."
Denim is still most popular in indigo blue. Now the range has extended to dark indigo blue, to sulphur bottom indigo, indigo bottom sulphur, sandwich shades with combinations of indigo and sulphur layers of dyeing and various combination shades like tinting and over dyeing in different colours, yellow and brown to name a few.
Coloured skinny jeans is one of the most prominent trends that is becoming popular. Bright and bold hues across the spectrum were worn by both men and women. Today denim trends are moving away from this and it's all about the true blue again; trade shows definitely have indicated a preference for traditional colours. Deep indigo, grey and black denim will take a center stage.
Colours, structures and patterns are becoming cleaner and more muted. Glossy surface have disappeared completely. Fabric manufacturers have become more enthusiastic about backing materials and focus on making the reverse side of fabric attractive. For instance, laminates, are being printed or embossed by applying the structures to the outer layers.
Explaining the latest trends Prabir Bandyopadhyay, LNJ says, "In men's category the most popular colours are jet black and deep blue. Other popular shades are clay, espresso and hunter green. Preferred weight range for men is 10.5 to 13.5 ozs.
In women's category too jet black and deep blue colours are making a rage, and other shades like sky, grey, burgundy, pink are also popular. Women like to wear light denims between 8.5 and 10.5 ozs." Rajan Gupta, KG Denim explains, "The trend in men's denim will witness different variants of blue like 16 dip, 24 dip, 27 dip pure indigos, carbon blue, super dark blue, sea blue etc. underweight group of 11.5-12.5ozs stretch in denser reed picks so as to give compact weaves.
Gupta adds "In women's denim, high and super stretch fabrics under different blue variants like 16 dip, 24 dip, 27 dip pure indigo, carbon blue, dark blue, sea blue, etc. underweight group of 9.5-11ozs in denser reed picks to give compact look will be the latest hit."
Denim is a fabric that is prone to stretching out inherently because of its weave. Jeans made of 100 percent cotton looses its shape. In fact even jeans with elastane/lycra do stretch out a bit but not as much as rigid basic denim. Jeans that have stretch back fi bers are increasingly the preferred choice.
And this fashion choice is emerging as the norm in India too. Mayank Jain of Malwa Industries has closely observed the trend as he is of the opinion that, "For women, the trends are very clear. They still have more and more stretch and lighter weights in the range of seven-eight oz. For men, stretch and stretch factor in the fabrics is also increasing."He adds, "Out of 100 customers, 99 ask for stretch, it's very rare now to come across a customer who is asking for non-stretch denim."
Environmental and social awareness in society is on the rise. The implications for fashion to fall in line and stand accountable are clear. The fashion consumer is infact leading the change and votes in favour by purchase bills. Today the industry is looking towards positive environmental and social benefits through informed choices of materials and intelligent design. One emerging manifestation of responsible choice making is the surge in demand for organic denim. These organic denims are an eco-friendly range of classic pieces reinterpreted using ethical fabric choices. They are the tribute from the denim suppliers to care for the environment.Organic denim fabric is made with 100 percent organic cotton and free from chemical fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides. The entire production of the fabric adheres strictly to ecological standards: from spinning, dyeing to finishing of the denim. It involves non-toxic fiber processing, colouring agents and fabric treatments which ensures that the production of collection was environmental-friendly.
However, these days we can see the organic trend fluttering all over the denim world. Many leading suppliers take the green step adopting the idea and offering collections of organic denim.
Today, a lot of mills in India are experimenting with denim fabric. There has been innovations with blends produced with Khadi, Wool, Silk, Linen, etc. Certain mills have even innovated to blend and produce polyester denim. Also, experimental innovations are happening with banana fibre, etc.
P G Niyogi, CEO, Oswal Denims says, "Creativity is driving the denim fabric market today. The companies have to work towards a collection which is exclusive and can make the company stand out with a difference. One needs to see a potential in his product range, our major concentration at Nahar is to work on the same idea." Talking on the current situation and future of the denim fabric market Niyogi further adds, "From last a few years, even fabric development has been following a fast fashion route. The sample development is very fast in the industry. If we say it is survival of the fittest then the rule now applies even to the denim fabric industry where speed of innovation and development grants success to a company."
Jain from Malwa Industries also shares, "Blends are adding new dimensions to denim fabric. The market is looking for something new at all times, and blends can bring that newness. We are working on jute, linens apart from the traditional blends. We do hope for great results, as soon the fabrics come out." So, if innovation is the key then the denim fabric industry has to believe in the policy of produce less but produce exclusive. But we also have to be careful that we are not innovating for the sake of developing a new product. It has to rooted in the customer demand. Indian mills have to drive the market to consumption than oversupply. There is a strong demand for innovative products and in the global and Indian markets mills have a capability to serve that. Now is the time that the denim fabric industry in India has to speak as one voice about its future.

"I honestly have not been looking at stuff like that, just trying to get ready for my next start," deGrom said. "I am out there trying to put this team in a position to win. I don't like giving up runs."
The Cy Young candidate, who is just 8-8 despite a sparkling 1.68 ERA this season, went six innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers and left with the game tied at 1. The only run he gave up was to Justin Turner, who went deep in the first inning, just the ninth homer off deGrom this season.
Chicago Cubs righty King Cole also went 25 straight starts with three or fewer runs, in 1910, when he went 20-4 with a 1.80 ERA.
DeGrom broke a tie with Dwight Gooden for the Mets' mark. Gooden had 24 straight such starts in 1985.
DeGrom's 20 straight quality starts are the longest active streak in the majors and the longest streak in franchise history in a single season.
"He has been the best pitcher in all of baseball," Mets manager Mickey Callaway said. "He doesn't pitch for himself, he pitches for the team, and that is why he has been able to do what he has been able to do."
In addition, DeGrom had a pair of hits and drove in a run Monday, the second straight start in which he has had two hits and driven in the only Mets run while he was in the game.
"Just trying to do my part any way I can," he said.
The Mets went on to win 4-2, with deGrom getting a no-decision. He has yet to beat the Dodgers in eight career starts; he is 0-4 with a 3.20 ERA and has held their hitters to a .190 average, while striking out 50 and walking 17.
"He went out there and pitched another gem," said Brandon Nimmo, who slugged the Mets' go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning. "It is what we come to expect from Jake every time. It is almost not fair. We expect him to go out there and pitch seven innings and give up zero or one run every time. For him to keep doing that and then not get these W's is unfortunate."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Model new laptops may be cheaper than ever, however you may get much more in your money if you already know the place to look. The screen measurement, arduous drive space, processor speed and different promoting points are virtually just like COMPUTER laptops it just comes right down to the look and functionality of the working system you prefer.
HP is one of the most trustworthy laptop computer manufacturing model as a result of HP laptops are usually not solely sturdy and well-performing laptops however Health and Fitness additionally they come with an unintentional warranty which makes its laptops very best for students and each day commuters.
Chromebooks are also quick and battery environment friendly than Home windows laptops because Chrome OS is a cloud-primarily based operating system, so it is more lightweight working system than Microsoft Home windows.
Of course, Microsoft still has a couple of huge promoting points over Chromebooks: Home windows laptops aren't just restricted to internet apps, and they're much more practical than Google's machines without an internet connection.
The unique clamshell design of modern laptops appeared within the Eighties, however the expense of personal computers desktop computers at that time meant their use was confined to organisations corresponding to NASA and the US navy.
Backside Line: Students or parents looking for a laptop that can survive an intense day in school will just like the Chromebook Flip C213SA's all-day battery life, sturdy build, and multiple viewing modes.
Or when you're on the market for something a little bit more premium leap over to our Greatest Laptop buying information, which features a part of machines as well as a number of costlier choices, or our Finest Gaming Laptop if AAA gaming is extra your thing.
A cheap Chromebook still won't really feel like a premium product, however these web-browser-and-Android-apps machines often give rather more bang for the buck than equivalent Windows programs.

If like me you own an HTC 8x smart phone, then you may well have been feeling left out by the fact that unless you use development tools, you have been unable to update to Windows phone 8.1.
Well the wait is over, as deployment has begun.
I got notification of the update on my unlocked 8x last night at 9 pm, and decided to bite the bullet and run it. At first I was a little disappointed as the update wasn't to 8.1, however the handy note on the update screen told me that this update would make my phone ready for 8.1.
Running multiple updates always worries me, as free space can be a problem. As I had 1.2 Gb free on my device I thought that I should be good to go.
The first upgrade went smoothly, albeit long winded as it took nearly two hours.
The second upgrade was a bumpier ride, after taking an age to download the update (even over my VDSL connection), the install process decided that it didn't have enough space to complete as it needed 655Mb free. I checked the storage and whilst it still said I had 1.2Gb free, I removed my offline maps to free up another 750Mb.
Restarting the upgrade process meant downloading the installer again, which seemed to take even longer this time around.
All told the upgrades took 6 hours, but having spent some time playing with the new features, I can safely say it was worth it.
No doubt I'll have a long wait for the Windows Phone 10 upgrade, but at least I'll have Cortana to keep me amused in the meantime.

ESD Carpet Tile in Electronics Manufacturing and 24/7 Extreme Duty Environments. Superior Performance and Lower Cost of Ownership than Armstrong® SDT™
Taken at Annapolis Microwave in Maryland
The idea of using carpet tiles for floorcovering in electronics manufacturing began in the early 1990s. The perceived benefits of carpet tile over conventional hard surface flooring like vinyl and epoxy were:
- Installs for less than SDT
- Sound absorption
- Anti-fatigue properties
- Vacuuming and extraction cleaning are less costly than washing, waxing and buffing
- Maintenance: 1/3 the annual cost of maintaining SDT
- Releasable and movable tiles allow easy repair and reuse of tiles
- Superior grounding of drag chains and carts due to carpet's low contact resistance surface.
- Superior control of walking body voltage over ESD vinyl and epoxy
In the late 1990s, corporations like Teradyne, Lucent, Nortel, RIM, Motorola, Cisco and Solectron installed many 1000s of square feet of carpet tile in PCB manufacturing areas, test departments, final assembly as well as box build areas. Periodic vacuuming and yearly extraction cleaning offered a much lower cost of ownership than hard surface flooring. Additionally carpet tile installations were far less costly than hard surface floors because carpet tiles didn't require nearly as much subfloor repair and preparation. Many of these installations remain in place today.
The problem with carpet tile: Traffic patterns are visible on carpet
There was one drawback to carpet tile and in many cases it outweighed carpet tile's otherwise numerous advantages; after two to three years of use, carpet tiles exposed to chair casters and heavy traffic looked different than adjacent tiles due to pile crush. The main contributor to this problem was the yarn systems used to make ESD carpet tile. All of these systems were either a solid, slightly mottled colors or linear patterns with lines running directionally through them. Because carpet tiles appear seamless, like one large continuous floor, worn areas stuck out like a coffee stain on a white shirt.
The solution: Learning from nature.
With the launch of Entropy® tile in early 2000, Interface®, the inventor of carpet tile introduced i2, a new design platform that revolutionized the way manufacturers, designers and end-users look at modular carpet.
Relying on the concept of biomimicry - the study and imitation of nature's best ideas to solve human problems – i2 tiles were created to mimic the organic design of nature. Rather than make each tile the same, they vary in patterning and coloring within one style and colorway. This all but eliminates the ability to observe pile crush variations or other forms of wear between tiles. Because there's no need to worry about matching dye lots, you need less attic stock and selective replacement is even more effective. Replacement and worn tiles are almost indistinguishable from older original tiles in the same installation. In 2010, Staticworx brought the i2 concept to a whole new level. In conjunction with Interface, Staticworx launched an ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliant version of i2 utilizing i2 style and innovation. This new variation on a long proven concept is called ShadowFX SD.
Like many standard i2 styles, ShadowFX SDC Patterns offer the added benefit of non-directional installation, meaning that tiles can be laid in any order or orientation. With no set pattern to maintain and no need to align tiles in a certain direction, there is significantly less installation waste. In fact, the average ShadowFX non-directional installation produces only 1.5% waste versus an average of 14% for other carpet styles. That means more of your floorcovering investment is on your floor, not in a dumpster. And the best part – ShadowFX SD can be installed glueless as a floating over any hard surface at half the cost of expensive high maintenance interlocking vinyl tiles.
Why all the fuss about carpet being too conductive? It's simple. It's about responsibility, liability, understanding OSHA safety guidelines and meeting a professional standard of care. Since 2005, standards organizations and grounding guidelines have required a static dissipative ohms rating for carpet.CONTINUE READING

Furniture shops are not quite hard to select. Very first you might have to verify about the type of your property, in advance of it is possible to buy any furniture.

Life is sweet on the Eastside. The dessert smörgåsbord spans the spectrum from cupcakes to cheesecakes, mousse to macarons. The treats please the palate and also celebrate the Northwest through local ingredients, family recipes and diverse cultural backgrounds. Satisfy your sweet tooth and support the community in one delicious bite!
Global Baked Goodies
Fumie's Gold, Bellevue
Fumie's Gold is an Eastside gem. For in-the-know folks, the cozy shop is nestled across the street from Bellevue Downtown Park. Proprietor and pastry genius Fumie Kumagai, a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, was born and raised in Japan and infuses her creations with cultural creativity. Kabocha — an Asian, pumpkin-like squash — makes a moist, delicately flavored pound cake. Green tea mousse is elegantly crafted, and purple yam cakes look like paintings on a plate. Homemade ice creams, such as Lotsa Matcha green tea and black sesame, are unique finds.
Macarons & Mischief
Lady Yum, Kirkland
Kirkland's new sweet spot opened in July 2014 and is an ambrosia of color and flavor. A rainbow of macarons entices visitors with dozens of rotating flavors. Savor old friends, such as s'mores and pb&j, or take a walk on the wilder side with mango habanero salted caramel and maple bacon. Local products — such as toffee tent candy — regularly inspire new cookie adventures. Make it a macaron night on the town during champagne Tuesdays and wine Wednesdays.
Cheesecake Champion
Rusty's Famous Cheesecake, Eastside and Greater Puget Sound
The motto "Made with Love" perfectly captures Rusty's Famous Cheesecake. You can taste the care mixed into every dense-but-creamy bite. Mercer Island resident Rusty Federman adapted his mother's recipe to create the award-winning "Esther's Classic." Founded in 2010, the cheesecake wizard now offers a dozen flavors such as From Russia, With Love — white chocolate, Stoli vodka and Valrhona chocolate crust — and Brulee, an irresistible union of cheesecake and layers of caramelized sugar. Everything is housemade and gluten-free. The take-home treats come full-sized or in mini versions and are available at local grocers such as Matthew's Fresh Market in Bellevue, Kirkland's Urban Coffee Lounge and restaurants including Daniel's Broiler.
Sweets on Fire
John Howie Steak, Bellevue
Dramatic desserts set appetites on fire at John Howie Steak. Classics such as cherries jubilee and bananas Foster are served flambé and tableside. Cherries jubilee was created for Queen Victoria and is a mouthwatering contrast of sweet and tart. Enjoy Brennan's bananas Foster recipe — a New Orleans favorite — which uniquely uses butter for a richer, fuller flavor. Both are served with locally made Olympic Mountain Ice Cream.
Frosted Fun
FROST, Mill Creek
FROST's doughnuts made it worth getting out of bed and, after its June 2014 grand reopening, FROST now offers treats for all occasions. The new FROST Dessert Lounge satisfies the sweet tooth with frozen custards, doughnut sundaes, homemade cannoli cones, macarons and more. Cupcakes run the gamut from traditional birthday cake to savory specials such as stuffing and turkey gravy — a rosemary cake topped with turkey-gravy buttercream. It's also the spot to try a Froissant, better known as the East Coast Cronut — the love child of croissants and doughnuts.
Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too
MyCakes, Snoqualmie
Painted on the wall of MyCakes is the promise, "Baking you happiness, now and for always." The shop inspires smiles with towers of colorful cake pops and chocolate-dipped Rice Krispie treats. The Sylvania Ball — cashew meringue with buttercream frosting — is available locally only at MyCakes. Cupcakes, however, are the superstars. Classics include red velvet and Oreo alongside seasonal specials such as lime margarita and tropical guava. With no preservatives or additives, it's like homemade without the mess.
Sundae Nirvana
Snoqualmie Ice Cream, Scoop Shoppe, Snohomish
You can practically hear the cows at Snoqualmie Ice Cream's Scoop Shoppe. The red-and-white building has old-fashioned barn appeal, and an inside viewing area lets visitors watch the ice cream-making magic (weekdays, 11am-2pm). Choose from a 24-flavor menu with rotating seasonal creations. Splurge on a signature sundae piled high in a mason jar with house made fixings such as berry sauces, brownies and cookie dough. Adult-only offerings, such as Kentucky bourbon made with Maker's Mark and boozy shakes, make grownups as giddy as kids. With over half a million gallons eaten annually, the hardest question is, one scoop or two?
A Chocolate Dynasty
Oh! Chocolate, Mercer Island
Delicious things come in small packages. Tucked in a Mercer Island corner is Oh! Chocolate, a world-class confectionary. Margo Masaoka warmly greets customers and readily shares samples and stories. Started by her parents, the shop is nearing its 30th anniversary and now includes Margo's daughter, who helps make the mounds of truffles, bars and chocolate-covered goodies. For a heavenly experience, try the Ben-Hur — a dark chocolate truffle layered with marzipan, dipped in dark chocolate and topped with a pecan.
A Bite from Heaven
Fran's Chocolates, Bellevue and greater Puget Sound
Fran's Chocolates need no introduction. The divine bites of goodness have a global following, including everyone from President Barack Obama to Oprah. Its beginnings, however, remains solidly local. Many ingredients are locally sourced, including mint from Yakima Valley and cream and butter from a regional cooperative of dairy farmers. Everything is gluten-free and 100 percent non-GMO. You can't beat the signature Gray & Smoked Salt Caramels, but the Coconut Gold Bar with white and dark chocolates, roasted almonds and rum is another sure crowd-pleaser.
Pastry Paradise
Midori Bakery, Redmond
The aroma of oven-fresh treats embraces visitors to Midori's expanded shop that opened in November 2014. Husband and wife team Jeremy and Morgan Gadouas bake everything from scratch daily. Fan favorites include the banana Nutella almond croissant and Kouign Amann, a French bread-cake hybrid bursting with butter and sugar. Midori also offers its own spin, the Cinna-amann. Be an early bird or risk being left with crumbs — they sometimes sell out!

Callejon to join Hamsik in China?
Watch Serie A live in the UK on Premier Sports for just £11.99 per month including live LaLiga, Eredivisie, Scottish Cup Football and more. Visit: https://subscribe.premiersports.tv/ Napoli forward Jose Callejon could reunite with Marek Hamsik and Rafa Benitez at Chinese club Dalian Yifang in January, it is claimed. The Spaniard has been a virtual ever-present at the San Paolo since his move to Napoli from Real Madrid in the summer of 2013. However, his contract expires at the end of the season and President Aurelio De Laurentiis has already made it clear that he will not match the winger's salary demands. Now, Il Mattino reports the 32-year-old might follow in Hamsik's footsteps and join Dalian this winter – providing they come up with a similar bid. If no deal is agreed in January, Callejon could still be on his way once the season concludes in May. Dalian are also managed by Benitez, who was in charge of Napoli between 2013 and 2015.

July 03, 2007 (LBO) – Aitken Spence, one of Sri Lanka's conglomerates with interests in several areas of the shipping industry, wants to develop a new business in managing ports abroad. The company already has a deal with South Africa's Durban Port under which is sent 125 skilled Sri Lankans to provide training and port management expertise.
"We're able to export the services of skilled Sri Lankan workers," said Aitken Spence Shipping chairman Parakrama Dissanayake.
This will benefit the island more than its usual export of unskilled labour, particularly housemaids.
The Aitken Spence team in Durban port provides training, skills transfer and helps to improve the operating efficiency of the South African harbour.
The provision of port management expertise to Durban Port, the first time a Sri Lankan company has ventured into port management service outside the island, was part of Aitken Spence's efforts to develop new products and markets.
The company's maritime transport division is seeking more opportunities in port management business in the African region.
The aim is to develop a business in which the company will help run several container ports abro

Middletown man charged with advertising marijuana on Craigslist
MIDDLETOWN — Police say a Middletown man is facing charges after posting an advertisement for marijuana on Craigslist.
Twenty-one-year-old Daniel Demelis is charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to sell.
Authorities began an investigation after they were alerted to an ad for "instant anxiety and depression relief." The ad mentioned that the "remedies" could be smoked and were "of the highest quality."
Police say they arrested Demelis after making undercover drug purchases from him this month.
Demelis was arraigned Friday in Middletown Superior Court.
He's due back in court Feb. 9.
It's unclear whether Demelis is represented by an attorney.

Starting the middle board
Today we had a planning session. Erik's waited long enough for a more exciting and interesting layout, so we sat down today with some basic scenery, some track pieces and the centre board to work out how he'd like it to look eventually.
First, we planned the motive power depot, or engine shed side. A trailing cross-over between the main lines and a two-road engine shed plus a stub siding to the water tower. There is also provision to lengthen the engine shed.
Then we looked at the goods shed side. Again, a trailing cross-over and a fan of sidings, two of which have goods sheds.
We've since been advised that a head shunt would be advisable and would increase operating interest. That's under serious consideration.
In the meantime, we've got a shopping list of track parts that need to be added to the layout before we can get to this point!

Confession…in our social ineptitude (we're old enough to wear it like a badge, now!), Brock and I just about gave up on Facebook and Twitter. Neither one of us quite 'get' it. In person, we've finally come into our own when we can look you in the eye and read all the social signals…but on Social Media, it's just hard.
No matter the place – Facebook, Twitter, a forum, or heaven help us Google Plus…I always feel like I'm back in 9th grade trying to get the high school seniors to talk to me!
Nonetheless, Brock and I have set an early New Year's resolution. And we're giving Facebook and Twitter another go. We're trying to post and interact every day…and we're wondering, do you have a hard time on social media? If you're socially – what word should we use – awkward, disadvantaged, challenged? – do you have a hard time interacting? Or does the anonymity of the internet help you?
What about your kids? Ours don't have any problem at all coming up with witty posts and clever responses.
If you're a social butterfly or if you're like Brock and me, join us on our Facebook page and on Twitter.
We promise we won't make fun of what you're wearing and we certainly won't stuff you in a locker or anything. In fact, we'll be so grateful that you're talking to us – we might be rendered all speechless! Just like when we were in 9th grade…

A new report indicates the Mercedes-Benz S600 Maybach will be officially unveiled in November at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China.
A new report indicates the Mercedes-Benz S600 Maybach will be officially unveiled in November at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China.
The "Maybach" name is about to make a comeback but not as a standalone brand as Daimler has decided to integrate the legendary moniker within the S-Class lineup. It will be reserved for an extra-long version of Mercedes-Benz's S-Class, sitting above the standard and long wheelbase versions. The car should have a 3665mm wheelbase and an overall length of 5600mm.
Latest rumors concerning the S-Class Maybach hint at a November introduction at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China. This is the second time we hear about the model's debut in November as an earlier report said the model will be exhibited at the Los Angeles Auto Show within the same month. This latest rumor refers to the S600 version so it will likely have a twin-turbo V12 6.0-liter engine pumping out 530 PS (390 kW) and 830 Nm (612 lb-ft) of torque. However, an S65 Maybach has already been spied so expect the extra-long wheelbase version to be available with several engines.
S-Class expansion will continue with an even longer version allegedly named Pullman (6.4 meters long) which will have a 2+2+2 seating arrangement and optional armoring. There will also be a convertible version equipped with a fabric roof and a 2+2 interior layout which will likely be introduced in 2015.

Shaun Atley celebrates game 200By Brayden May
WHEN Rochester football export Shaun Atley debuted for North Melbourne in round one, 2011, he never expected just eight years later he would be a 200-game AFL player.
The now 27-year-old brought up the milestone earlier this month in North Melbourne's loss to the Sydney Swans.
Unfortunately for Atley, he couldn't celebrate the occasion with friends and family in attendance because crowds are not allowed at Victorian games.
But it's still a day that he will never forget when the time comes to reflect on his career as a player.
"It's nice to think I have played this many games for the North Melbourne Football Club," Atley said.
"As a kid, when you first walk through the doors of a club, your goal is to play just one game and go from there.
"My number one focus right now is to keep playing some consistent footy and help the team get to where we want to be."
Since his debut against West Coast, Atley has missed just nine games at the top level – admitting he has had his fair share of luck along the way.
"Thankfully I haven't had any soft tissues along the way because they can be difficult to overcome if you do keep getting them," he said.
"I've also been lucky to have some good coaches who have been willing to keep giving me a go.
"I started on the wing and now I'm playing a lot more in defence. I guess I'm just fortunate to have kept finding a spot in the team."
Season 2020 has already been challenging on so many different fronts for players across the competition with COVID-19 wreaking havoc.
One of the biggest came with a two-month gap between rounds one and two.
"There were times where it was hard to stay motivated because there was so much uncertainty around when the season would get going again," Atley said.
"But the club were fantastic throughout the whole period – staying in contact with us the whole time with regular meetings.
"The time off did give me the opportunity to get back to the farm in Corop which is something I can't usually do during the season.
"It was a great opportunity to do some training with Joe. I don't see him as much as I used to because he is living in Adelaide.
"Dad certainly enjoyed having us back to help him with some odd jobs that needed to be done."
The Kangaroos are currently enjoying their first full season under Rhyce Shaw, who took over from Brad Scott halfway through last year.
And Atley admitted Shaw has helped him to come out of his shell.
"I'm usually more of an introverted type of person," he said.
"But "Shawry" really challenged me to be more vocal and take on more of a mentoring role for our younger players.
"And I admit it is something that I am definitely enjoying.
"As a group we have a lot of belief in what he is doing and I can't wait to keep working with him going forward."

Hudbay Minerals (HBM)
Stock price: $4.65 / Market cap: $1.13B / Enterprise Value: $1.75B
Hudbay Minerals is a contrarian play. It's down 54% YTD. The stock is oversold, and trades below its 52-week low. Despite this, there is 61% institutional ownership, and heavy insider buying. Officers, directors, and the CEO are buying plain vanilla common stock, not exercising warrants or options. On June 21st (2018), the CEO acquired 20,000 shares at $8 worth $160,471. In doing so, he increased his ownership by 12.3%. On August 9th (2018), a director acquired 10,000 shares at $6.7 worth $67,000. Two senior officers acquired 20,000 shares and 7,500 shares on August 10th (2018) at $6.7 worth $131,400 and $50,000 respectively.
Business Overview
Hudbay Minerals is a Canadian mining company. It operates as an integrated metals producer that is responsible for the discovery, production, and marketing of high quality copper and zinc concentrate. The company owns four polymetallic mines, four ore concentrators, and two zinc production facilities in Manitoba and Cusco, and a copper project in Arizona. Its main operations are located in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Cusco. Manitoba and Peru generate 100% of the Group's revenue. The Manitoba segment sells copper concentrate (75% of sales, consists of copper, gold, and silver) and zinc metal (21%). The Peru segment consists of Constancia operations and sells copper concentrate. The Group's Arizona segment, which consists of the Rosemont Project, is set to start operations this year.
The company has 100% interest and ownership in the Lalor, Constancia, and 777 mines. It owns 92% of the Rosemont project, and 70% of the Reed mine.
Lalor is an underground zinc, copper, gold, and silver mine in Manitoba. Its output increased over time from 2015-2017 in grades for silver and zinc, and held constant for gold and copper. The mineral leases terminate in April and September of 2023, and March of 2033, with annual leases paid to the Manitoba government.
Constancia is an open pit copper mine in Peru. It has 22,516 hectares of mining area. As per long-term contracts with external customers, Hudbay Minerals receives cash payments equal to $400 per ounce of gold, and $5.9 per ounce of silver. In a precious metals stream agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals, the company is subject to paying 100% of its silver, and 50% of its gold. Gold recovery is fixed at 55% for gold mined from Constancia, and 70% from Pampacancha. The mine averaged 79K tonnes per day in 2017, and has a capacity of 90K tonnes per day. While the mine had lower throughput and higher maintenance costs in the first half of 2018, it was due to the mine's semi-annual schedule maintenance shutdown in May, which was successfully completed as of Q2 2018.
777 is an underground zinc, copper, gold, and silver mine in Manitoba (3,800 hectares) and Saskatchewan (3,300 hectares). The company pays annual rental leases to the Manitoba and Saskatchewan governments for mineral and surface rights. Its leases expire ranging from 2021-2036. The mine has its own ore concentrator at Flin Flon, which produces zinc and copper concentrates, with a plan that specializes in producing high-grade zinc metal. Its output for zinc metal decreased from 2015-2017.
Rosemont is a copper development project in Arizona, with 809 hectares of land that is wholly owned by Hudbay Minerals for exclusivity to surface and mining rights. The company has access to surrounding mining claims of 6,475 hectares, and Associated Fee Lands of 8,215 hectares.
Reed mine is closing this August. It is located in Manitoba. Its mineral reserves are listed below.
Hudbay Minerals's processing facilities are in Manitoba. Its primary ore concentrator is at Flin Flon. The Flin Flon facility produces zinc and copper concentrates primarily from ore mined at the 777 mine. Ore mined from the Reed mine, and a portion of the ore mined at Lalor is transported to Flin Flon as well. The processor facility includes a paste backfill plant and maintenance shops & laboratories. The zinc plant at Flin Flon produces special high-grade zinc metal in three cast shares from zinc concentrates, and produced 108K tonnes of cast zinc in 2017, but has a capacity of 115K.
The company's New Britannia mill is currently on care and maintenance and being refurbished. Once maintenance is complete, the mill will be able to take capacity from the Flin Flon plant, taking Lalor ore for processing. The plant can also process up to 1,500 tonnes per day of gold and copper, and has historically produced gold ore on site.
Revenue Recognition
78% of copper concentrate sales were to third party purchasers in 2017. In 2018, it's expected to decline to 73%. The majority of copper concentrate products are sold using short-term contracts. Manitoba copper concentrate is primarily sold for delivery to smelters in Canada and Europe. Peru concentrate products are primarily sold for delivery to smelters in Asia. All gold and silver (from 777) contained in concentrate is sold to Wheaton Precious Metals. Cast zinc metal produced at Flin Flon is sold to third party customers in North America. Four countries are responsible for 70.7% of the company's revenue (Canada: 30.9%, US 17.4%, Switzerland: 11.7%, China: 10.7%).

Silver (ounces)
Zinc (tonnes)
Hudbay Minerals is cheap on basis of PE: 6.9, PTBV: 0.53, EV/EBITDA of 2.9x, and P/FCF: 3.9. I will value Hudbay Minerals on two independent methods: PMV and TBV.
For the first method, I will define PMV as EV/share + the sum of current operating income per share of each segment. As of FY2018, combined operating income for both Manitoba and Peru segments was $1.48 per share. Enterprise value per share was $7.21. Summing the two entails an intrinsic value of $8.70.
In the second method, I will take into account that the company's earnings power has not been stable in the past, and the company's decision since 2012 to lever up excessively distorts its earnings power too heavily. Therefore, valuing it on its assets proves a more predictable alternative. A mining company has many valuable assets, some of which are not captured on its balance sheet. Therefore, I will use TBV as a conservative starting point, and will add the value of patented land claims to get intrinsic value. TBV per share is $8.78, and the company owns 2,000 acres of patented mining land. Patented claims provide the owner with both surface and mining rights, and do not require lease payments to governments or land owners. They are exclusive to Hudbay Minerals. In valuing the land relative to the cost of lots being sold near the outskirts of Tuscon, Arizona, the range is approximately $26.14M to $49.42M. Assuming that the land is valued at the highest cost ($49.42M), total intrinsic value adds up to $8.99 per share.
Therefore, I will be looking at a target price between $8.7-$8.99.
Industry Information
For the mining industry, gold production has already peaked as of 2016. Capital expenditure for new mines peaked in 2012, and has been declining since. Industry reports have noted that there won't be any more growth in mine production for several years.
Significant investments made during the previous boom resulted in substantial overproduction and weak balance sheets. Capital expenditures in 2017 remained at a 10-year low as the industry has been slow to ramp up investment significantly. For the 10 years prior to 2016, the amount of gold discovered declined by 85%. For the first eight months of 2017, silver production had fallen by 20% in Chile, and 19% in Australia. Zinc inventories have been at the lowest levels since 2007. Randgold Resources's CEO warned that by 2020, the industry will face a dramatic supply shortage.
The copper market recorded supply usage deficits in 2016 and 2017, with declining mine grades and lack of investment in new supply. In 2018, copper prices are at a YTD low. Rio Tinto's CEO has said that copper deficits are expected to emerge in 2020 as well. With the demand for copper growing at 3.7% per year, the supply for copper in 2018 peaked.
The industry hit a trough in 2016, and is currently in an upswing with recoveries in EBITDA and revenue. Overall, revenues have fallen 40% since 2011.
Financial Analysis
Revenue growth has averaged 29% for the past five years. Growth from 2014-2015 was the highest at 84%, but dropped to 27.4% the year after, and has slowed since to 11.7% in 2017. Since 2013, net profit and operating margins have been very erratic, moving between slightly positive and extremely negative due to pressure from interest expense. Hudbay's return metrics are as follows: 8% ROE, 8% ROIC, and 4% ROA.
2013 marked a turning point in the company's financial position. Long-term debt surpassed cash on its balance sheet ($730M in debt vs. $590M cash), leading to a burdensome interest expense on margins in subsequent years. Capital expenditures began to consume operating cash flows, leading consistently negative FCF. Long-term debt peaked in 2016 at a staggering $1.21B. The company's cash balance hit an all-time low the year before, with only $54M.
In 2017, Hudbay Minerals's prospects are looking up. It's paying down debt (decreased its debt/equity from 0.7 to 0.46, and net debt/EBITDA from 2.3x to 1x in 2016 to 2017 alone), and has reduced its long-term debt to $980M. Interest coverage increased from 1.3x in 2016 to 6x in 2017. The company is profitable for the first time in five years. Earnings are recovering, and FCF is growing. Hudbay Minerals was not the same as it was going into 2008. It had around $700M in cash, and less than $4M in debt. Now, it has $350M in cash (growing) and $980 in debt (shrinking). While its financial position is worse off post-crisis, the company is attempting to turn things around. In 2016 and 2017, FCF was $282M and $289.8M, with a yield of 26% for both years. In comparing FCF in 2016/2017 to 2008/2010, FCF was $87M and $102M, and yielded 6%. While the yield is much higher now, and seems unsustainable, management has projected that capital expenditures will continue to decrease, encouraging FCF to continue to grow positively. The company is entering a phase where higher depreciation charges will weigh down earnings, but add to FCF, along with lesser cap ex.
In 2013-2015, capital expenditures were around $800M and depreciation was around $30M. Since 2015, the trend has reversed, and cap ex will continue to decline from $250M, as depreciation increases from $300M. Capital and operating costs per unit (for mining, million, and capitalized stripping) are also expected to decline over time from 2018 to 2022.
Management's priorities are to complete the ramp up of production at Lalor, to enhance Constancia production through higher recoveries and throughput optimization (70% copper recovery in Q2 2018 vs. 81% Q1 2018), to complete Pampacancha surface rights negotiations, to advance the exploration pipeline, and to see Rosemont through its completion.
Management is also working to extend the life of the 777 mine, even with reconditioning costs increasing because of assets at Flin Flon getting older. They are attempting to identify remnants and increase volume. As of Q2 2018, 777's projected end life is in 2021. In Q4 2016, it was projected to be in 2020.
In addition, management is putting capital towards the refurbishment of New Brit mill, in hopes of increasing the recovery of gold ores (currently 65% at Reed mine). If gold resources can be converted towards reserves, New Britannia will be open in a couple years.
An updated mine plan shows an increase of the total metal contained and of the estimated mineral reserves and anticipated production in all mines to be increased by 25% from 2022-2025. For mineral properties, despite the downturn in metal prices over the past few years, the company has doubled their owned and optioned mineral properties from 380K hectares to 860K hectares.
1. If the company cannot acquire surface rights for Pampacancha, then further mining efforts will be delayed
2. Excess milling capacity at Flin Flon with the closure of the Reed mine
a. New Brit won't be open for a couple more years to take capacity away from Flin Flon
3. A low PE may be deceptive
a. What if this isn't a recovery, but a cyclical earnings & margin peak? It's hard to compare when earnings and margins have been negative in the past
b. Earnings may collapse again with higher mining costs

Social media is a terrific breeding ground for travel envy — there is no faster way to find yourself wishing you were in a more exotic, warmer and more pleasant climate than to view someone else's social media images of already being there.
And among the social sites, Instagram, with its photo-centric orientation, has ben a particularly powerful influencer in the travel segment — and "Instagram tourism" has become a demonstrable phenomenon. Demonstrable, and occasionally annoying. In 2016 China opened the world's highest and longest glass platform. It manage to keep it open for less than two weeks (13 days to be exact) when hoards of camera-toting tourists flocked to the location to grab that perfect shot.
It is undeniable by the numbers that Instagram is a a major mover in the travel segment. Trolltunga, a mountain cliff that juts out over Odda, Norway's Lake Ringedalsvatnet, used to have about 400 visitors a year. In 2016 in had over 50,000, according to National Geographic. Wanaka, New Zealand, a small mountain town, realized that it too had some very scenic vistas, and decided to invite "influencers" to come see them. Net result: tourism to Wanaka increased 14 percent.
On average, users of Instagram engage with it 10 times more often than they do with Facebook. In light of that, it isn't much of a surprise that 48.8 percent of brands in the United States are on Instagram, or that by most estimates that figure will grow as high as 70.7 percent.
"Now you're less than 10 clicks away from seeing an image on Instagram to purchasing a ticket to go there," says Chris Burkard (@chrisburkard), a photographer with more than 2 million Instagram followers. "I've met people who have traveled to places because of my photographs, and I don't mean that in an egotistical way … [That] wasn't happening 10 years ago."
And for the folks at easyJet, Europe's largest discount airline, that change is apparent — as is a problem. Ten clicks is way too many clicks.
"When we were looking at how people use Instagram, it quickly became apparent that as people look through Instagram at nice photos, there was no way of turning that into a transaction," said Daniel Young, easyJet's head of digital experience.
What easyJet has long wanted, Youngs says — and what it has even explicitly asked for in the past from the likes of Snapchat and Facebook — is a feature that makes it easy to see the picture and book a flight to the destination featured. The problem, Young said, is that "buying a holiday is a lot more complex than buying a T-shirt," and building that desired functionality was riddled with issues.
Or it was, anyway — the European airline has now built a visual search tool to make it single-tap easy to see a picture, and book a flight to that location. According to Young, the consumer does not even necessarily need to know where the photo they are seeing was taken.
The feature is called "Look&Book" and it leverages image-recognition technology to match a photo of a location from anywhere in Europe with one of easyJet's service locations. Moreover, once the user clicks on the image, Look&Book also allows users to see the nearest airport, and pre-populates the booking form in the app with those details. The feature will also soon include destinations from outside of Europe as easyJet services them.
The feature is structured to give easyJet the best of both worlds, in tapping into the Instagram platform, while still leading users back to the easyJet mobile platform.
"Although there's been plenty buzz in the visual search space this year already, easyJet has gotten ahead of the curve by connecting the dots back into their own ecosystem," Gracie Page, innovation lead at VMLY&R, told Digiday. "As consumer devices become increasingly more sophisticated and able to handle complex computational processes, we're just getting started with the delight that will be the visual search paradigm."
For easyJet, though, the goal is even more basic, according to Young: the airline is making a move to bring the contextual commerce movement into travel in a way that hasn't been possible in the past.
Banks, corporates and even regulators now recognize the imperative to modernize — not just digitize —the infrastructures and workflows that move money and data between businesses domestically and cross-border.

As quoted in the Guardian on the 8th February 2016 : –
"English Heritage, the National Trust and Historic England acknowledged the scheme would remove the sight of the A303 from the landscape and would open more of it up to the public.
They said: "The proposed A303 tunnel would remove the majority of the existing damaging road and its traffic from the world heritage site, finally reuniting the north and south sides of this extraordinary ancient landscape and allowing people to enjoy and understand it better.
"It would also allow for the reinstatement of the line of the Stonehenge Avenue, an ancient processional route to the stones. This is the first time that a government scheme to improve the A303 within the Stonehenge landscape has recognised the importance of the avenue.
But Normanton Down Barrows could be a problem. The group was described by the 18th and 19th century archaeologist Sir Richard Colt Hoare as a "noble group – diversified in their forms, perfect in their symmetry and rich in their contents". Under the current scheme the western portal will be built just 100 metres from them."

Planning Custom Decks For Homes in Woodbridge, VASaturday, November 30th, 2019
Planning a custom deck for a home in Woodbridge, VA is no easy task. You can ride around your neighborhood and see how many unusual designs from different materials you find. This may be a great way to start before you start to design your own custom deck for your Woodbridge, VA home. You may find something that sparks your senses and will want to incorporate it into your own custom deck design.
There are many ideas that you will want to process before the initial start of your custom deck for your home in Woodbridge, VA. Custom decks can be whatever homeowners desire within the budget they have allowed for the project. But before you start the installation, make sure you have covered all your bases.
Use your imagination and don't be afraid to think big and bold; be a little daring in your ideas when creating the plans for your new custom deck in Woodbridge, VA. Maybe you want several different levels for your deck to break up the typical rectangle decks that are so common and give your deck designated spaces.
Do you want separate areas for various activities such as grilling, dining, relaxing, or entertaining? Using different patterns in your decking boards is another excellent way to designate different spaces for grilling, dining, and relaxing. Maybe you want a place to add a hot tub, either now or in the near future. If so, now is the time to build an area that will accommodate just that. Do you want built-in seating or planters?
Place your patio furniture and grill to allow for foot traffic to flow easily across your deck. The door from your Woodbridge, VA house to your deck should be easily accessible, the same for the stairs leading down to the yard.
Choosing the type of materials for your custom deck will be the most important decision you make. Low maintenance materials such as composite decking offer a varienty of colors and textures but will cost more in the initial installation at your home in Woodbridge, VA. Overall you will save a good bit because you will not have to restain or repaint your decks every couple of years, saving time and money.

Deputy President William Ruto on Saturday urged opposition leaders to back his 2022 presidential bid.
Mr Ruto on Saturday said ODM party leader Raila Odinga and his Amani National Congress counterpart Musalia Mudavadi ought to return the favour after he rallied behind them in Mr Odinga's 2007 quest.
Mr Ruto, Mr Odinga, Mr Mudavadi, Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala and former minister Joseph Nyagah were members of the ODM (Orange Democratic Movement) Pentagon.
The Deputy President said he supported Mr Odinga in 2007, after which he was indicted at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity following the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
"But our victory was stolen and the country broke lose. We fought hard as ODM to reclaim the lost victory until a negotiated deal was reached through a peace accord spearheaded by the late Kofi Annan," Mr Ruto said during Lurambi MP Titus Khamala's homecoming party in Kakamega.
He lamented that Mr Odinga and Mr Mudavadi did not visit him at The Hague.
"..but God saw me through and I was exonerated, and today l am above the two. The two therefore owe me."
In his defence, he said he is closer to the presidency by virtue of being Mr Uhuru Kenyatta's deputy.
But Mr Mudavadi denied owing the Deputy President a political debt.
He said there was no power sharing agreement in ODM in 2007.
"Besides, President Kenyatta and Mr Ruto short-changed me in 2013 when they lied to me in my house that they would back my candidature," he said.
He challenged Mr Ruto to prepare for a bruising battle in the 2022 elections.
Concerning the report on the safety of imported sugar, Mr Ruto slammed members of Parliament accused of accepting bribes to throw out the report.
He said the joint committee on Trade and Agriculture, which compiled the report, should have done a better job.
"Instead of using millions of shillings from the public coffers diligently, the MPs went for selfies with those they were supposed to interrogate and brought back a flimsy report before ending up in toilets to receive bribes," he said.
Mr Ruto said the report presented before the House lacked information on who imported the sugar and whether the sugar is safe.
Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa asked Mr Mudavadi and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang'ula to foster unity of the Luhya community.
He said Mr Ruto has an edge because "he has organised himself".
"He has a big following and is seeking support to supplement his following," Mr Wamalwa said.

The Mets intend to be proactive in their management of David Wright's back condition, which is why manager Terry Collins said the captain will sit out Saturday's game against the Phillies.
But that came as news to Wright, who said he has yet to discuss the matter in detail with Collins.
"He's the boss," Wright said, offering an indication that he's willing to defer to the manager.
Communication between Collins and Wright will be a key throughout the season, the third baseman's first full campaign since being diagnosed with spinal stenosis.
After Friday's 7-2 win over the Phillies, Collins said that Wright, when given a choice of weekend games, preferred to take Saturday off. But Wright said that was "yet to be determined."
Wright is hitting .182 (2-for-11) but has reached base at a .400 clip, thanks to four walks. He doubled to right-center in the first inning, then made a barehanded play on Odubel Herrera's bunt in the fourth.
But in the eighth, he was charged with a throwing error, then had a pop-up drop behind him after it got caught in the swirling wind. The latter miscue wound up as a strange double play. Cesar Hernandez got caught in a rundown off first base, unaware that with one down and runners at first and second, umpires invoked the infield fly rule.
Said Wright: "That was crazy."
Extra bases
Antonio Bastardo signed a two-year, $12-million deal during the offseason to help the Mets protect late-game leads. But for the second straight game, Collins entrusted a late lead to righty Jim Henderson, a former Brewers closer whose shoulder problems netted him only a minor-league deal and an invite to spring training. Henderson tossed a scoreless seventh inning. Bastardo made his season debut in a mop-up situation, tossing a scoreless ninth with the Mets ahead by five runs . . . Righthander Zack Wheeler will have a minor procedure Tuesday to remove a suture knot in his right forearm, the Mets announced. The knot, which caused skin irritation, is residue from Wheeler's Tommy John surgery. Wheeler is expected to miss only a few days in his throwing program. He remains on track for a July return.

text: A long night's sleep and when I woke up, I found myself on a deserted island. No trace of human existence around. All was barren, dry, colourless and lifeless. Wandering in search of food, I stumbled upon something and fell on the ground, biting the dust. Genie in a bottle? I rubbed, I rubbed hard. No genie came out, and I woke up just to realise that it was my Old monk bottle that I was rubbing all night through. Hungover Dreams!
