PUBLISHED: 19:02 18 July 2018 | UPDATED: 19:02 18 July 2018 Interview with Greg Adyemian and Dan Smith (blue jacket) who own the Ingham Swan. Picture: Nick Butcher Archant © 2017 It’s no secret that the restaurant industry is an increasingly tough market to achieve success in, with a third of the UK’s top 100 restaurant groups believed to be operating at a loss. But owners of the Diners Club, Greg Adjemian and Daniel Smith, said the squeeze is being felt more acutely in the independent leagues, where the cost of failure is higher. The pair own successful pubs The Wildebeest at Stoke Holy Cross and Ingham Swan, which is due to re-open by the end of this year after a devastating fire last September. But in trying to find a profitable identity for their latest venture, the Warwick Street Social, they aim to set a “new standard for a modern-day pub”, rather than being tempted to follow the food fads offered by Norwich’s gamut of restaurants.

Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Fit trademarks hint at a new direction
Home / News / Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Fit trademarks hint at a new direction Samsung appears to be going in a new direction as far as the branding for its wearable devices is concerned. New trademark applications have surfaced online which reveal the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Fit monikers. This suggests that the company might be thinking about retiring the “Gear” brand for its wearable devices and in favor of bringing these devices to the Galaxy.The company has long used the Galaxy branding for its smartphones and tablets so it would make sense to unify the brand and bring wearable devices under its umbrella as well. Many would argue that this should have been done a long time ago and while it’s still not confirmed if Samsung is going to do this, it would make sense for the company to do so.Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy FitA new trademark application published by the USPTO has revealed the Galaxy Watch moniker which on the face of it could only be … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Fit trademarks hint at a new direction
Superfluid Quasicrystal: Physicists Propose an Entirely New Form of Matter—And How to Make It
Tech & Science Particle Physics matter quantum mechanics Most people know that there are three fundamental states of matter: Solids, liquids and gases. However, there are actually several additional, more unfamiliar forms, including plasma—which is found in the stars—and Bose-Einstein condensates—which only exist at the very coldest temperatures. Now, physicists from the University of Texas at Dallas (UT) have proposed an entirely new theoretical form of matter which they have called “superfluid quasicrystal.” The exotic new form and a “recipe” for making it have been described in a new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters. So, what exactly is a superfluid quasicrystal? First it is important to understand a superfluid—an exotic form of liquid that displays very unusual properties. Superfluids have zero viscosity meaning they don’t produce friction when they flow across a surface and, therefore, do not … [Read more...] about Superfluid Quasicrystal: Physicists Propose an Entirely New Form of Matter—And How to Make It
A new direction for Italy’s Five Star Movement? Beppe Grillo distances himself from the party he founded

Photo: Andreas Solaro/AFP Italy's Five Star Movement was born on founder Beppe Grillo's personal blog, but now the comedian has formally separated his site from the party and its backers, the latest sign that the party is taking a new direction ahead of the 2018 election. Grillo started the Five Star Movement in 2009 with web strategist Gianroberto Casaleggio, using the blog and networking site Meetup to gather support and bring people together. It quickly grew into a formidable force, capitalizing on widespread distrust of the political mainstream to get the second most votes of any party in the 2013 election. Now with another election on the horizon, set for March 4th, the divorce of the party from the blog that spawned it is a sign that the M5S is keen to take a new direction. Luigi Di Maio, elected in September as the party's new leader, said on Tuesday that while Grillo … [Read more...] about A new direction for Italy’s Five Star Movement?

The company said in a statement that it was searching for employees with varied qualifications and experience levels “from engineers to software developers, from professional newcomers to trainees.” Many of the new jobs will be in newly announced logistics centres, dotted throughout the country, as well as in Amazon offices and development centres. The new jobs are part of a larger Europe-wide expansion that in total will create 15,000 positions in branches like Amazon Marketplace, Amazon Web Services, and Kindle Direct Publishing, for example. The company said this will be a new record of recruitment for Amazon to achieve within a year. “With innovative new services like Prime Now delivery within an hour, the speech recognition of [digital assistant] Alexa, or cloud solutions for business partners, Amazon is … [Read more...] about Amazon seeks 2,000 new techies in Germany
