Springfield coffee house to close south-side spot 2 months short of one-year anniversary – The State Journal-Register

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date January 21, 2022

Jan. 30is Grateful Coffee Co.'s final day of operation at 1370 Toronto Road.

The locally-owned coffee house is closing two months shy of its first anniversary but owners say this only marks an end for the south side-address, not the business brand.

We arent getting the foot traffic we needed, said Brandon Austin, who co-owns the business with his wife, Cana. The people who were coming were fantastic, incredibly kind. There just werent enough to make it at that location.

But were considering alternate locations where either there isnt coffee already there or the traffic is.

Last year: Owners of new Springfield coffee shop want it to be more than a mocha spot

Austin said they are turning their attention to brick-and-mortar sites on the citys retail centers on the west side and North Dirksen Parkway. Other considerations, he added, could be operating a food truck or selling roasted coffee beans to a local third-party retailer using the Grateful Coffee Co. label.

Austin did not have a timeframe on how soon the Grateful Coffee Co. name might return in any of these capacities.

Grateful Coffee Co. opened in the former Three Twigs Bakerysite last April on the heels of the local bakery striking out westward itself. The newly-christened Three Twigs Bakery & Bistro operates at 3429 Freedom Drive in Parkway Pointe Shopping Center.

Several businesses have attempted to establish the Toronto Road address as a stop for south side commuters to pick up a cup of joe. Free Press Coffee Houseopened at the site in 2017, but just lasted a year. Three Twigs called the spot home for two years.

8 Best 5G Stocks to Buy in 2022 – WTOP

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date January 21, 2022

Here are eight stocks benefiting from the 5G boom. In the past few years, 5G has transitioned from a trendy

Here are eight stocks benefiting from the 5G boom.

In the past few years, 5G has transitioned from a trendy tech buzzword to one of the largest near-term growth trends on Wall Street. Wireless providers are rolling out 5G networks all over the world. These next-generation networks allow for faster, higher-quality internet connections; greater global connectivity; increased capacity for advanced connected software applications; and less latency for users. Multinational telecom company Ericsson estimates that there will be 4.4 billion 5G subscribers by the end of 2027 thanks to network expansions in China and North America and new 5G-enabled device launches. Here are eight of Bank of Americas top 5G stocks to buy.

Verizon Communications Inc. (ticker: VZ)

When it comes to 5G winners, network carriers are at the top of the list. Verizon recently said its 5G network will cover 100 million people in more than 1,700 cities by the end of January 2022. The company may need to revise that estimate after it agreed on Jan. 18 to pause its 5G rollout plans near some U.S. airports, but that hiccup affects a small portion of its service area. Analyst David Barden says Verizon has the most defensible customer base and the most profitable business of any of the big three U.S. wireless providers. Barden says asset divestments have improved the companys balance sheet, and Verizon shares also pay a 4.8% dividend. Bank of America has a buy rating and a $64 price target for VZ stock, which closed at $53.50 on Jan. 19.

Digital Realty Trust Inc. (DLR)

Digital Realty Trust is Bardens top 5G data center stock pick for 2022. Barden says Digital Realtys exposure to emerging growth markets in Africa, Asia and India will help the company outperform peers in 2022 and beyond. Digital Realty recently announced plans to acquire a 55% stake in African data center provider Teraco Data Environments Pty. Ltd. for about $1.73 billion, and Barden says Teraco will give Digital Realty a dominant footprint in a high growth market. Barden says Digital Realty has also successfully navigated rising power prices in recent quarters. Bank of America has a buy rating and a $190 price target for DRT, which closed at $154.93 on Jan. 19.

Equinix Inc. (EQIX)

Equinix is the worlds largest data center operator. Barden says Equinixs September acquisition of GPX India Pvt. Ltd. will help the company tap into the growing South Asian market. In November, Equinix announced a partnership with Dish Network Corp. (DISH) to provide connectivity infrastructure for Dishs 5G network. Barden says network-neutral co-location will drive growth for Equinix thanks to its unique market positioning. He says the stock is undervalued given the companys strong and highly visible growth outlook and the stickiness of its current business. Bank of America has a buy rating and an $865 price target for EQIX stock, which closed at $730.49 on Jan. 19.

SBA Communications Corp. (SBAC)

SBA Communications operates 5G wireless communications towers and is Bardens top 2022 stock pick among tower operators. Barden says carriers will spend aggressively to expand their 5G networks this year, which is great news for tower operators. SBA generates more than 80% of its revenue from the U.S. market, making it better positioned for the 2022 5G ramp-up than other international tower companies. In addition, Barden says SBA is relatively insulated from regulatory headwinds, rising interest rates and the ongoing pandemic and has best-in-class assets. Bank of America has a buy rating and a $365 price target for SBAC stock, which closed at $321.23 on Jan. 19.

Ciena Corp. (CIEN)

Ciena is one of analyst Tal Lianis top 5G network infrastructure picks for 2022. Liani says Cienas revenue growth will increase from 2.5% in 2021 to 12% in 2022 thanks in part to booming bandwidth demand from the telecom sector. Liani says Ciena is the best investment in optical networking. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), Meta Platforms Inc. (FB), Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) accounted for more than $1 billion of Cienas orders in 2021, and the company expects aggressive spending from web-scalers in the next few years. Bank of America has a buy rating and a $91 price target for CIEN stock, which closed at $68.21 on Jan. 19.

F5 Inc. (FFIV)

F5 is Lianis other top 5G network infrastructure stock pick. He says F5 has multiple catalysts that could potentially drive revenue growth acceleration this year, including aggressive data center investments and an uptick in software revenue stemming from three-year contract renewals. Liani says F5s impressive growth numbers are a testament to its successful transition from hardware sales to software sales. In addition, F5 is expanding its security portfolio, and recent acquisition Threat Stack Inc. should add about $15 million in fiscal 2022 revenue. Bank of America has a buy rating and a $285 price target for FFIV stock, which closed at $222.80 on Jan. 19.

American Tower Corp. (AMT)

American Tower is a specialized real estate investment trust that owns a portfolio of wireless communications towers. Barden says towers are a critical and stable part of the wireless network infrastructure, making stocks such as AMT excellent long-term investments. American Tower has also been expanding its holdings into the data center market. Wireless subscriber and usage growth are tail winds for AMT, and Barden says the company has the most conservative balance sheet among its peers. On top of that, AMT shares pay a 2.2% dividend. Bank of America has a buy rating and a $315 price target for AMT stock, which closed at $249 on Jan. 19.

Marvell Technology Inc. (MRVL)

Marvell Technology is a semiconductor company that serves the data storage, communications and consumer markets. Analyst Vivek Arya says Marvells 5G network opportunity is still in the early stages and projects that the companys annual 5G revenue run rate will increase from less than $600 million in late 2021 to $800 million by the end of 2022. Arya says Marvells stock trades at a valuation premium to its semiconductor peers, but that premium is more than justified by the companys best-in-class 33% compound annual earnings growth rate. Bank of America has a buy rating and a $115 price target for MRVL stock, which closed at $76.89 on Jan. 19.

Covid-19: Locations of interest in the Delta outbreak – January 21 – Stuff.co.nz

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date January 21, 2022

An eye clinic in Rotorua and Chemist Warehouse in Auckland have been listed as the latest locations of interest linked to the Covid-19 outbreak.

People who visited the Rotorua Eye Clinic on Fairy Springs Rd on Tuesday between 1.37pm and 2.27pm, and Chemist Warehouse in Westfield Manukau on Wednesday between 8.40pm and 9pm, are being asked to self-monitor for symptoms for 10 days.

Earlier on Friday afternoon Anzor Fasteners on Tremaine Ave was added to the Ministry of Healths official list for anyone who visited on Wednesday between 12.05pm and 12.15pm. Additionally, those who visited the branch on Monday between 3.20pm and 3.29pm were asked to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms.

All locations of interest in Palmerston North that were added to the ministrys list on Friday were linked to an Omicron case.

Those who travelled on the same flight as a confirmed Omicron case in Palmerston North were asked to get tested for Covid-19 as soon as possible.

On Friday, the Ministry of Health said an assumed Omicron case had been confirmed.

A spokesman for the prime minister said given the case was still border-related, it did not currently meet the threshold to shift the country in the red traffic light setting.

The case, who had been staying in an MIQ facility, travelled on flight NZ550 from Christchurch at 2pm on Sunday, arriving in Auckland at 3.20pm. They then travelled on NZ5121 from Auckland to Palmerston North at 4.55pm.

The case is considered to be infectious from January 17, but anyone who travelled on either of those flights is asked to get a test as soon as possible as a precaution.

A bus route in Rotorua was earlier listed as a new location of interest linked to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Bus 1247 on route 11 from Fenton Park on McKee Ave to Arawa St was listed for January 13 between 12.54pm and 1.10pm, as well as SkyCity Auckland Casinos main gaming floor.

Those who visited the casino between 12.23am and 2.23am on Tuesday were being asked to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after being exposed and if symptoms develop, get a test and stay at home until returning a negative test.

Earlier, New World Broadway in Palmerston North between 11am and 12.30pm on Tuesday was also added to the list. This exposure was considered to be linked to an assumed Omicron case, the ministry said.

Also added to the list was Auckland buffet restaurant Gengis Khan in Henderson between 6.40pm and 9.45pm on Monday, and Wild Child and Wild Families Kirks Bush on Beach Rd, Papakura, between 8.27am and 12pm on January 15.

Those who visited these locations were also being asked to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after being exposed and if symptoms develop, get a test and stay at home until returning a negative test.

New World Broadway in Palmerston North, believed to be linked to an assumed Omicron case, was added to the Ministry of Healths official list on Friday. (File photo).

Both locations were relating to a close contact, the ministrys website said.

Anyone who was at either location during these times is urged to self-isolate, test immediately and again on day five after exposure. Further isolation and testing requirements would be provided by Public Health, the ministry said.

Eighteen locations were added to the Ministry of Healths official list on Thursday.

Of these, several Palmerston North locations were thought to be linked to an assumed Omicron case, which was confirmed on Friday, while Auckland cafe Ara-Tai Cafe Half Moon Bay was confirmed as being linked to an Omicron case on Thursday.

This prompted health authorities to urge anyone at the cafe between 12.30pm and 2pm on Tuesday to self-isolate and get tested immediately and again on day five after being exposed.

Peter Meecham/Stuff

An Auckland buffet and the location of a family park event are the latest locations of interest linked to the Covid-19 outbreak on Friday morning. (File photo).

The locations added on Thursday:

Anyone who visited these locations during these times is asked to self-monitor for Covid-19 symptoms for 10 days after being exposed, get tested if any symptoms arise and stay at home until returning a negative test result.

The below list can be viewed in two ways: Date of visit (locations added today have the word NEW beside them) or, if you switch the toggle to Date included, newly added locations appear at the top of the list.

If you were at a location of interest at one of the specified times, you may need to self-isolate and be tested. Follow the instructions for that location on the Ministry of Health website and call Healthline on 0800 358 5453 for advice on testing.

Refuge Coffee opens new location in The Woodruff Arts Center – WABE 90.1 FM

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date January 21, 2022

Clarkston, Georgia, is known as the most diverse square mile in the United States. Its population adds about 2,500 refugees from more than 45 countries each year. In 2015, Kitti Murray established Refuge Coffee Company in Clarkston, a nonprofit that employs refugees and offers job training and mentorship. Now, a new location for Refuge welcomes visitors in Midtown Atlanta at the Woodruff Arts Center. Murray joined City Lights host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk more about this expansion and the mission of Refuge Coffee.

Murray and her husband moved to Clarkston nine years ago, at a time when her work focused on writing. She confessed that her first inspiration for creating Refuge wasnt especially high-minded. I love coffee shops, and at that time, there wasnt one near where we lived, said Murray. I thought, Wouldnt it be great if we had a coffee shop in Clarkston?

But as a self-identified natural networker and a people person, Murrays idea soon grew in scope. We immediately started to get to know all our neighbors, and youve already mentioned how many countries our neighbors are from, Murray said. What that translates into is just this beautiful mashup of cultures and languages, and also, most of the people who come from those countries are survivors. And theyre heroic and resilient people.

Murray continued, I immediately wanted everybody in my old world to meet all my new friends in my new world, and so the thought of a coffee shop that could bring those worlds together I just felt like it needed to happen.

Murray recognized the need for employment that challenged many of her neighbors, and she wanted her coffee shop to mean more than just a business opportunity for her own family. The idea of connecting her community expanded into a broader vision of opportunity for everyone involved. But first things first she had to start the business. Honestly, if you added my business acumen and my husbands together, you would come up with a negative number, joked Murray.

Refuge Coffee began as a coffee truck, low-risk, low-rent and flexible. Eventually, the Murrays moved their business into an old gas station near the parking lot where their truck usually set up and soon officially bought the space. At that point, Refuge moved decisively into community organizing, fundraising, and setting up job training for neighborhood residents. I felt like I was jumping off a cliff every day for the first two years, said Murray. But it was that good scary, you know, its like Im jumping off a cliff into a lagoon with a lot of friends who are swimming.

While Refuge continues to develop its job training and mentorship opportunities through the challenge of the pandemic, the Woodruff Arts Center location invites a new neighborhood into Murrays culture of welcoming. Though multicultural events like Refuges popular annual Iftar dinners (the fast-breaking meal ending each day of Ramadan in Islamic tradition) are on hold for now, Murray expressed her hope that chances to gather will soon return and keep immigrant community members feeling connected and celebrated.

I do love that Clarkston is a good reminder that this is a human crisis, Murray said. The people that live in Clarkston are hopeful and want to have a future, and want to work hard, and dont want to take anything from anybody. They just want to be able to live freely and as contributors.

AutoFlight establishes first location in Europe and is seeking certification for its 4 passenger eVTOL taxi by 2025 – Electrek

Post author By Dr Hoster
Post date January 21, 2022

Chinese eVTOL developer AutoFlight is showcasing its global expansion by officially entering Europe. The company has set up shop at Augsburg Airport in Germany, as it now seeks to to achieve certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for its Prosperity I eVTOL taxi. The certification program will begin this year and is expected to be completed by 2025.

AutoFlight is a Shanghai-based R&D specialist focused on autonomous flight and eVTOL technology. The company evolved from a consumer drone company called Yuneec, both of which were founded by Tian Yu.

Since graduating from R&D only to actual aircraft manufacturing, AutoFlight has successfully launched three eVTOL vehicles and has reached mass production on its V50 White Shark UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle).

Last September, AutoFlight announced a successful round of Series A funding totaling $100 million, the largest sum for a Chinese eVTOL company that is until XPengs HT Aeroannounced a record $500 million in fundinglast October.

AutoFlights V1500M eVTOL taxi was unveiled at an airshow in China around the same time as the funding announcement. Unlike earlier AutoFlight eVTOLs, the V1500M is designed specificallyto transport passengersin the urban air mobility (UAM) space.

Last Fall, Autoflight completed the maiden voyage of its V1500M manned eVTOL as it seeks certification in China. With its most recent news, the company looks to do the same in Germany using its eVTOL taxi.

AutoFlight announced its expansion into Europe via a recent press release outlining its plan of attack for certification. The European team is led by former Airbus manager Mark R. Henning, who recently joined the AutoFlight team. He spoke about the companys new presence overseas:

We are bringing aircraft construction back to Augsburg, creating a high-tech location and jobs as we build drones and create a completely new market segment for airtaxis. What I really like about AutoFlight and Prosperity I is the underlying simple concept. Simplicity translates into safety and efficiency.

The Prosperity I appeared to be based off the fully-electric V1500M eVTOL taxi, which can transport up to three passengers in addition to the pilot, and luggage up to 3,307 lbs. The carbon fiber fuselage carries ten electric motors and ten propellers that are situated safely above the cabin, unlike many eVTOL competitors.

For forward flight, the eVTOL aircraft utilizes its two rear pusher propellers, delivering a cruise speed of 200 km/h (124 mph) and a range of 250 km (155 miles).

AutoFlight designed the autonomous aircraft with four landing legs rather than retractable wheeled landing gear toreduce the complexity of the vessel, while also limiting its weight and overall production cost. AutoFlight refers to this as its lift and cruise configuration.

Hennings teams first task is to achieve European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification for the eVTOL taxi beginning this year. AutoFlight believes it can receive EASA certification by 2025.

Additionally, the growing team in Augsburg will operate out of a dedicated R&D and certification center and plans to establish additional locations for test and demonstration flights across Europe. AutoFlight states it is now ready to build its Prosperity I eVTOL taxi and will provide a progress update to its transition tests in a few weeks.

When is the Carabao Cup final? Date, time and location of Liverpool v Chelsea – Liverpool Echo

Post date January 21, 2022

A Diogo Jota brace fired Liverpool to the Carabao Cup final, where they will face Chelsea.

After drawing the first leg 0-0 at Anfield, the Reds proved too much to handle in north London as Arsenal had no answer to the movement and finishing of the two-goal Diogo Jota and Co.

Victory at Wembley Stadium will secure a record-breaking ninth League Cup for Liverpool, despite not having won the competition since 2012.

Manchester City are currently tied with the Reds on eight victories after winning the past four finals.

But a new name will be on the trophy this year.

So when is the 2022 Carabao Cup final being played?

PLAYER RATINGS: Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota too good for Arsenal

IAN DOYLE: Diogo Jota earns new song as deadly Liverpool partnership emerges at Arsenal

Liverpool will meet Chelsea in the final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, February 27, 2021.

Chelsea booked their place in the final with a 3-0 aggregate victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

A kick-off time has yet to be confirmed but traditionally the fixture begins at 4.30pm.

The winners of the final will be automatically placed in next season's UEFA Europa Conference League.

But should the winner also qualify for Europe through any other means this season, their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League will be transferred to the highest-placed Premier League side not already qualified for European competition.

Sky Sports owns the exclusive rights to the Carabao Cup, so the final is likely by shown on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football.
