SHOW BITS: Fallon needs ticket; Another red carpet
Question of the Day
Show Bits brings you the 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards through the eyes of Associated Press journalists. Follow them on Twitter where available with the handles listed after each item.
FROM 1 JIMMY TO ANOTHER
Jimmy Fallon is playing musical chairs at this year's Emmy Awards, in more ways than one.
The 2010 Emmy host, interviewed on the red carpet, noted he has passed hosting duties on to another Jimmy this year, name of Kimmel.
As a result, Fallon said, he doesn't even have a ticket to the 2012 show.
"But Clint Eastwood said he was going to save me a chair," Fallon cracked.
His advice to this year's Jimmy: "Don't make out with Betty White. There's cameras everywhere and you'll get caught. And definitely go to Honey Boo Boo's after-party, cause that's gonna be where it's at."
_ Frazier Moore _ Twitter http://www.twitter.com/tvfrazier
SEEING STARS ON THE RED CARPET
At the Emmys there's the red carpet and then there's _ well _ the other red carpet.
As the main red carpet fills up, security tries to keep the line moving by directing the big stars down the carpet where cameras are lined up to film them and entertainment journalists are waiting to interview them.
Meantime, the less famous are directed down a parallel red carpet closer to the fan bleachers.
"Please continue walking," security guards continuously say.
Sometimes they'll also give a gentle nudge to someone on the B-list red carpet who lingers too long taking pictures of the folks on the A-List red carpet.

QUICKQUOTE: JESSE TYLER FERGUSON
"It's so warm I thought a nice flannel tux would be appropriate." _ Jesse Tyler Ferguson of "Modern Family" on the Emmy red carpet.
GETTING THE STARS' ATTENTION
"Jesse Jesse Jesse!" the crowd chants trying to get the attention of "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson. He obliges with several waves to the bleacher crowd.
Before the first stream of stars arrived on the Emmy Red Carpet, a show producer told them to "make everything personal" if they wanted to get their attention.
It may take several chants, but the stars often answer with a wave, a smile or the occasional fist pump.
_ Anthony McCartney _Twitter http://twittter.com/mccartneyAP
KEEPING COOL IN THE FAN BLEACHERS
Fran and Elmer Armstrong are awards show veterans, joining throngs of fans for at least their sixth Emmy Awards Show on a sweltering Sunday afternoon.
The retired St. Louis couple's quest for a front row seat in the fan bleachers beside the red carpet began when they lined up outside the Nokia Theatre around 7:30 a.m. Sunday. As the day progressed, and temperatures rose, they hung in there, cheering as the cameras from E! Entertainment television filmed pre-show segments.
"Goodbye Guiliana," 70-year-old Elmer Armstrong shouted to anchor Giuliana Rancic as the E Entertainment crew wrapped up.
With temperatures topping 90 degrees, he and his 71-year-old wife were like many in the stands _ trying to keep cool with water and wet paper towels. At least this year's stands are shaded. Elmer Armstrong recalled one year when fans were forced to sit in the blazing sun.
That's not the only change to this year's fan seating _ a tall wall keeps fans from glad-handing or even getting autographs from cooperative celebrities.
Elmer Armstrong remains at the ready, however _ keeping his digital SLR camera and telephoto lens handy to get shots of the stars.

A statewide fishing challenge is being conducted again this year.
The Midwest Walleye Challenge will run from March 30th through June 30th. This marks the 3rd year that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is partnering with MyCatch by Angler’s Atlas for the event.
The Challenge is designed to help the DNR expand walleye collection data. The MyCatch mobile app maintains anonymous location data. Iowa DNR fisheries biologists receive only generalized lake and river catch data entered to assess and manage walleye populations. Specific catch locations from anglers are not listed on public leaderboards. This year’s walleye challenge has been expanded to other states across the Midwest and into Canada as part of a larger fisheries research project funded by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies.
Iowa anglers will compete against each other for biweekly prizes. All catches from across the Midwest will qualify for grand prizes at the end of the event. Register for the Midwest Walleye Challenge at the Angler’s Atlas website.

If you told me that I would be able to buy Malaysian-made caviar a few weeks ago, I would have laughed, thought it was a joke, and brushed it aside. But that was then and this is now, especially after having sampled T’Lur’s “tropical caviar” at a recent dinner collaboration at Southern Rock Seafood. It was evident that this was no joke.
“We are the first organisation to successfully farm caviar from sturgeon in South East Asia without the use of climate control, despite our tropical conditions,” says Shaun Simon, T’Lur’s head of marketing.
Modern French restaurant Entier and contemporary Asian eatery Sitka, avid supporters of local produce, are some of the first restaurants to serve T’Lur. If you’re looking to enjoy these briny black pearls at home, one can purchase directly from the producers themselves, with a 30g tin of Amur and Siberian caviar currently fetching RM500 and RM400 respectively.
According to the experts, the best way to experience the full depth of these precious eggs is to eat it from the back of your hand. “After getting your first taste, we should then play around with various condiments – egg white, egg yolk, shallots, chives and cream with water crackers,” Simon advises.
While the Tanjong Malim-based caviar producers served two types of Sturgeon eggs on the night of its collaboration dinner – Oscietra and an “experimental” MSG-laced variant – it was the latter that proved unique, with an appealing level of saltiness followed by an umami punch.
T’Lur’s farm in Perak is 3.3 acres, housing about 20,000 fishes, equating to a production rate of 25kg of caviar a month.
Simon hopes that this new Malaysian product will show the diversity and quality of our produce. “Our goal is to share the delights of caviar with the people of Malaysia and the world. Aside from making fresh caviar available any time of the year, we believe Malaysia has the vast potential to pave the way for this industry,” he says. “It will open up a whole range of employment opportunities for locals and will help to diversify local produce”.

The catcher in the rye is told from the first-person singular point of view, specifically from holden caulfield's perspective first-person narration is when a story is told from the perspective of one character at a time the narrator shares the events happening throughout the story from their own perspective, using the pronouns.
But the new salinger book and film have pulled me back in, because they both perpetuate a fundamental mistake about the catcher in the rye, a mistake rage against phonies to horrific conclusions—by claiming that this is the wrong interpretation of the novel, this identification of holden and salinger. Falling from gracethey say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself -andy worhol in the novel, the catcher in the rye, the main character, holden, slowly comes to the realization that everything will lose its innocence, but not everything will become corrupted holden caulfield despises. When a story is told in first person the reader can feel as if they are talking directly with the narrator writing in other styles of point of views would take away the connections between the narrator and the reader therefore, salinger writing the catcher in the rye, in first person gave the reader a better connection to the book ,. Free literary realism essay the catcher in the ryebr br br nbsp nbsp nbsp nbspin jd salingers the catcher in the rye the first person narration is critical in helping holden, in his narration, relates a flashback of a analyzing, outspoken individual who values honesty and sincerity he is unimpressed with people.

Do you ever have days when you can’t seem to do anything right? Days when you’re fed up with yourself? Days when you berate yourself for things you’ve said or done with the sort of angry monologue that you wouldn’t subject a friend to? From time to time, we all do. But while it’s common to sometimes struggle to be kind to ourselves, for some people, especially those with depression, relentlessly picking at their own worst traits can become an endless cycle of self-bullying.
Therapy seeks to break that cycle through various approaches and one of the newest involves virtual reality (VR). At University College London, Prof John King and Dr Emma Jayne Kilford are working on a VR intervention to use as an adjunct to face-to-face therapy for depression. They hope the new therapeutic angle VR provides can help people increase their ability for self-compassion.
Their system uses a virtual room in which there are two avatars: a child and an adult. Before participants enter the room, they’re trained in how to use a compassionate script to lift the mood of someone who’s distressed. There are three parts to the script: validating experience, redirecting attention and activating a positive memory.
As the participant enters the virtual room they’re confronted with the distressed virtual child and their task is to comfort the child using the script until its distress lessens. The next time the participant enters the room, they’re the child and they get to see their adult avatar (themselves from the previous session) performing the compassionate script. “They sit there as a child,” explains King, “and they literally have the experience of compassion. It’s a form of very souped-up imagery.” The adult avatar can even be made to look like the participant, although not all of them opt for this.
Initial results in one sample of self-critical students and another of people experiencing depression show significant reductions in measures of self-criticism and depression, as well as improvements in self-compassion. A larger trial has begun, with hopes that the intervention will become an option for people undergoing treatment for depression.
VR therapy and phobias
This is just one of many VR interventions for mental health problems that are currently in development or already in the clinic. VR in mental health treatment has been around since the mid-1990s, but recent advances in headset capabilities and reductions in cost have made it more feasible and accessible, and research in VR-assisted therapy is booming.
The most-established use of VR-assisted therapy is for anxiety disorders. For simple phobias where someone has one predominant fear, VR can be used to expose the person to that fear gradually and safely. “I was plagued with a fear of heights for years,” says Judith Keeling, who heard about a research trial into VR therapy for height phobia in her hometown of Oxford and decided to try it. “I was intrigued, but dubious.”
Judith remembers the experience: “You put the [headset] on and you find yourself in the atrium of a shopping mall. You can choose what floor you start at, then you go to that floor in a lift. [The doors open, you walk out] and there’s a glass barrier between you and the drop, as if you’re looking down into the atrium. And then the barrier is removed. I jumped back when that happened.”
Even though Judith knew it wasn’t real and she found the VR setting somewhat cartoony, she still felt as if she was up high. For Daniel Freeman, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Oxford, that’s no surprise. “Whatever the computer shows you, that’s your reality… The beautiful bit of the therapy is that there’s also a conscious bit of your brain saying it’s not real, therefore I can try things differently. It doesn’t break the spell; it just enables you to make the learning.”
In this intervention, people complete increasingly tricky tasks on each floor until they reach the top floor, where there’s a wobbly bridge to walk across, which they can see through. If they accomplish that, they get to ride on the back of a surreal blue whale that’s been floating around inside the shopping mall. “It feels unreal,” says Judith. “So although I was uncertain, I could make myself do it.”
After three sessions Judith wasn’t sure whether the treatment had done much, but she noticed the difference when she went on a once-in-a-lifetime family holiday. “I was at Angkor Wat, in Cambodia, where there are a lot of rickety outdoor ladders and I was walking up and down them without any problems.”
Freeman sees a key role for VR in automating some aspects of therapy to improve access. “There are some very powerful psychological therapies, but far too few people get them,” he says. Freeman also thinks VR therapy can be more powerful than traditional therapy. “You can do things you can’t do in face-to-face therapy… The ultimate aim is using the tech not just to replicate successful therapies… but to push them even further.”
One example of pushing the therapy further is in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD involves a trio of symptoms: hyperarousal (feeling extra anxious to threat), avoidance (not wanting to think or talk about traumatic memories) and re-experiencing symptoms, such as intrusive images, nightmares or flashbacks.
PTSD is common in war veterans and a VR package called Bravemind has been designed specifically for soldiers who served in Afghanistan by Dr Albert ‘Skip’ Rizzo at the University of Southern California. “We use the best technology to train soldiers for war; we should use the best technology to fix the… mess afterwards,” he says.
Bravemind simulates war situations using 14 customisable virtual worlds. A therapist controls what happens, tailoring content to the memories of the person reliving the trauma, allowing those memories to be processed and the re-experiencing of symptoms to resolve.
The principles are identical to traditional cognitive behavioural therapy for PTSD, so the treatment still needs a therapist but the imagery is more immersive. “It’s a real-time clinical tool,” says Rizzo. “Technology doesn’t fix anyone; it extends the skills of a well-trained clinician.” When Bravemind is used in conjunction with a trained therapist, its results are equivalent to, or better than, traditional therapy. A small fMRI study showed changes in the brain areas associated with PTSD too.
A safe environment
It’s not only depression and anxiety that can benefit from VR therapy. At the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IOPPN) at King’s College London, Dr Lucia Valmaggia and her colleagues are working with individuals who experience psychosis, which is characterised by a loss of contact with reality that often involves hearing or seeing things that others can’t, strong feelings of paranoia or delusional thoughts. VR can simulate situations where paranoia might be problematic.
“We use the VR as a first experience of something,” Valmaggia explains. “For example, someone walks into a VR pub and the first thing they do is tense up when someone says hello. You see if they’re aware or not that they’re doing it. You teach them to breathe, to become aware of their jaw, to do all of that. And then they try it. Not straightaway in a real pub, but in a VR situation around other people.
“The person experiencing it knows that it’s not real so they’ll try to do more things and they’re more able to get new experiences and physiologically new responses,” she says. “It’s a trick to have experimental control in an ecologically valid environment and, at the same time, [for] the person experiencing it to be able to try something new.”
Jemma* has tried the intervention. Diagnosed with psychosis in 2019, Jemma has a background in video game experience design and her psychotic experiences left her feeling convinced that she was living inside a game. As these beliefs subsided, Jemma found she became uneasy in social situations and was uncomfortable being seen by others.
“I had a visceral reaction to [the VR therapy]. It was kind of amazing,” says Jemma, who froze as she went into the virtual pub, due to feeling intense fear. “I just totally shut down and couldn’t say anything… There’s no hiding from it… It’s very honest and transparent.”
With practice and therapeutic support, Jemma overcame her fear and became more comfortable and confident. She was also recommended a relaxation programme available on YouTube that lets her swim with dolphins in a virtual sea by using a cardboard VR headset into which she slots her mobile phone. “It’s very relaxing,” she says.
Coming to a clinic near you?
VR therapy is not without its challenges. While the headsets are vastly cheaper than they once were, accessibility still depends on clinics being able to purchase them for patient use. There’s also a strong need to understand the ethical complexities around digital security to ensure sensitive data can’t be harvested. “I do see that as being a critical issue,” cautions Kilford. “The tech always moves so much faster than the regulatory body.”
The inevitable lag between technological progress and good-quality research means studies can be out of sync with the technology by the time they’re completed. Plus, VR only works for certain types of talking therapy (usually those belonging to cognitive behavioural schools).
Nevertheless, the tech and research advances mean VR therapy is finally coming of age. Rizzo thinks we’re not far off the day when “headsets in the home will be like toasters. You know, you don’t use it everyday, but every home has one… It’ll get to a point where every clinician has a VR headset in their drawer and they’ll have had some training [on how to incorporate its use into therapy] at some point.” Rizzo also thinks 5G will help clinicians access VR interventions.
The variety of VR-assisted therapies being researched covers a huge range of disorders and settings. There are VR kitchens to help people with eating disorders, relaxation programmes for people in inpatient care, and programmes for schoolchildren to help them handle their assumptions of what others think of them (especially helpful for children who’ve been bullied or had experiences that can affect future relationships). Whatever you can imagine a use of VR for, it can be programmed.
VR therapy won’t replace human therapists, but it’s a powerful adjunct and access to it is going to grow. VR therapy for fear of heights is already available in a number of UK NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapy clinics, and several of the VR research trials are available in NHS Trusts too.
As VR therapy grows, it’ll be key that the programmes we choose are ones with established efficacy, and are co-designed by clinicians and people with experience of mental health problems. And there is no shortage of those to choose from.

Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed an American was killed during the bloody rampage at the British parliament that has been claimed by the Islamic State group.
“A great American, Kurt Cochran, was killed in the London terror attack. My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends,” the president said in a tweet.
Cochran was from Utah and had been in London with his wife Melissa, who was seriously injured.
In a statement, Clint Payne, Melissa’s brother and Kurt’s brother-in-law, said the family was heartbroken.
“Kurt was a good man and a loving husband to our sister and daughter, Melissa.
“They were in Europe to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, and were scheduled to return to the United States on Thursday.”
“Melissa also received serious injuries in the attack, and is being cared for in the hospital. We express our gratitude to the emergency and medical personnel who have cared for them and ask for your prayers on behalf of Melissa and our family.”
Eric Hawkins, a spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told AFP that Melissa’s parents “are serving as missionaries for the LDS Church in London.”
The London attack — blamed on 52-year-old British man Khalid Masood — has fueled fresh calls from American right-wing commentators for tougher controls at US borders.
Trump has made curbing migration — notably from Muslim-majority countries — a focus of his administration.

Botswana: Women in business urged to utilise AGOA
Women in business have been encouraged to take advantage and participate in the lucrative US preferential trade scheme known as the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) for better profits.
African Women’s Entrepreneurship Programme (AWEP) chairperson, Chigedze Chinyepi said this when addressing women in business during AWEP’s capacity building workshop that was held at Tati River Lodge recently.
Chinyepi said Botswana is one of the eligible countries, but businesses are failing to utilise AGOA.
“This is worrisome; currently Botswana has only one company under AGOA, which is also owned by a Chinese man with locally-owned companies failing to export their products to the international markets.
AGOA is a window of opportunities which every company should strive to take advantage of for better profits,” said Chinyepi.
She said through AGOA, the country has derived preferential access to the US market for a range of products that local women entrepreneurs should consider producing and exporting to the US market. She said there are many sectors that women in business could take advantage of like natural indigenous products, arts and crafts, textile to mention but a few.
“Women entrepreneurs in Lesotho who deal with textile have grouped themselves and are utilising AGOA, something that I encourage you to consider investing on such sectors and help improve the country’s economy,” said Chinyepi.
She said through AGOA, women entrepreneurs could group themselves, open factories, employ thousands of Batswana and be able to produce in large quantities and sell their products to the US
Chinyepi warned women entrepreneurs to refrain from operating in isolation, but to unite and work together in order to reach the US market.
“The US market buys products in bulk and if you isolate yourself you might end up not meeting the order as well as failing to produce the required quantity of the products.”
She added: “Government has funded many people who manufacture similar products. Such people can group themselves and manufacture products in bulk”.
She said it is of concern that currently there are only a few women owned companies that supply their products to the neighbouring countries’ markets.
Officiating at the event, the city mayor Silvia Muzila shared Chinyepi’s sentiments, encouraging women in business to work together to supply the US market through AGOA.
Muzila also encouraged them to partner with organisations like AWEP to equip themselves with business management and financial management techniques that can surely help them improve the way they operate their businesses.
She said this could help them to be competitive and even better than their male counterparts.
Muzila congratulated AWEP to have included Francistown to be one of the places they will take their program me to, stating that it will equip and capacitate their women entrepreneurs with requisite skills to operate and expand their businesses regionally and internationally.

Photographs showing the abuse of inmates at Iraq's infamous Abu Ghraib prison by US prison guards have shocked the world. The latest one to be outraged is Admiral Michael Mullen, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff. Mullen has voiced his disgust after seeing some of the withheld photographs of the abuse that the administration of Barack Obama, the US president, is seeking to keep under the wraps and not let the world to see. In a leaked memo obtained by the Fox News network, Mullen said he was "appalled" that someone in an American uniform would behave in such a way. "We haven't all absorbed or applied all the lessons of Abu Ghraib," Mullen said. But for Mahmood Khalil, an Iraqi television cameraman and former Abu Ghraib inmate, the pictures are more than just distu...

The Baghdad Central Prison, formerly known as Abu Ghraib prison (Abū Ghurayb or Abu Ghuraib, or 'Place of Ravens') is in Abu Ghraib, an Iraqi city 32 km (20 mi) west of Baghdad. It was built by British contractors in the 1950s. During the Iraq War, American military and the Central Intelligence Agency (American CIA) committed human rights violations against prisoners held in the Abu Ghraib prison.

The infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq may return to the spotlight if a judge grants a request to make 2,000 prisoner abuse photos public. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein on Wednesday ruled that the government had not presented a case compelling enough to keep the photos classified. Government lawyers now have one appeal remaining, which must be completed by September 8th. The original photos from the facility leaked to the media in 2004 caused a major headache for the military and government, who suddenly had to answer for why the Iraqi prisoners were being taunted, tortured and inhumanely cared for.

Interpol has issued a global security alert linked to suspected al-Qaeda involvement in recent prison breakouts. Interpol cited prison escapes in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan, and asked its members to examine if they were connected. The police agency is also asking member countries to "swiftly process any information linked to these events". In the most recent escape, 248 prisoners were sprung from a jail in north-west Pakistan. Taliban militants used automatic weapons and bombs to break down the walls of the jail in Dera Ismail Khan on 30 July. At least 13 people were killed, including six police. The authorities said 30 of those who fled were "hardened militants" jailed for involvement in suicide bombings and other serious attacks. Hundreds of inmates escaped from two jails in Iraq - A...
NATO is keen to get on board the few Western European countries that remain outside of the alliance. Sweden is one of those being enticed. But as Swedish anti-NATO peace activist Agneta Norberg told RT, the expansion is simply a part of the US' attempts to strengthen its influence in Europe and beyond. "What are they [NATO] doing to get them [Swedish political elite] on the hook? What are they promising them? I don't have the answer because for me it's insane, it's pure insanity," she said. "How many things can the United States government show that they don't care a s**t about? For instance, all these terrible torture places in Abu Ghraib, in Guantanamo -- in every place they are violating international law, they are violating all treaties, all treaties. And they get away with it," Agnet...
This is segment two of three in which Alex Jones conducts an in depth interview with Adam Loewy, the attorney for the family of Noe Nino de Rivera the 17 year old boy with no criminal record who was tased in broad daylight at Cedar Creek High School in Bastrop, Texas in 2013. De Rivera spent nearly two months in a coma after his head was slammed onto the concrete in the fall. Now out of that coma, he will have to live with traumatic brain injuries for the rest of his life. The boys mother Maria Acosta, spoke to the mainstream media last week, stating "Noe is totally dependent on me now." "All of America is becoming an Abu Ghraib!" say's Jones. "Just why are unarmed children being tased in the hallways of schools? This culture of endorsing what ever the police do is going to be our downfal...

It wasn't the man in the photo who wanted David and John off the board -- it was ALL the farmers at the market. The man in the photo is an approved reseller (by the Bremerton FM board) who does drive to where the fruit is grown to pick it up, and got all the growers he buys from to also join the Bremerton market. David Johnson did not seek approval by the board to resell fruit he did not grow, did not get his farmers to join the market, and did not seek to remedy this situation when the other farmers protested.
There's nothing wrong with reselling fruit, as long as you follow the rules. Without guidelines from the board, anyone could buy a box of cherries from Safeway and attempt to resell them at a Farmers Market for a drastic price increase. No one knows for sure where Dave was getting his fruit.

Behind The Scenes Of Lil Boosie’s “Show The World (Remix)” Video
Lil Boosie's epic comeback tour since his release from prison on March 5 after a five-year prison stint keeps on rolling, and today XXL premieres the behind the scenes video for "Show The World (Remix)" featuring K Michelle. The video for the track hasn't dropped yet, but it's on the way after Boosie dropped this version of the song Apr. 26 after the original, featuring Kiara and Webbie, came out in March.
Boosie is gearing up for the release of his first album since getting out, set to be titled Touchdown 2 Cause Hell, on July 15, with a second album on the way in December. He hit the stage for the first time in Nashville on Apr. 11, where he performed favorites like “Devils,” “Exciting,” “My Struggle” and “Set It Off."
"There’s no pressure on me," Boosie told XXL earlier this week about his new music on the way. "I could see if I was making the same music that you hear all the time. Then I would have pressure to outdo those people with that kind of music. But I am one of the few that make that real, deep music that touch people’s heart. I kind of feel like I am in my own lane over here, so it’s no pressure for me. All I gotta do is do what I do. I ain’t switching nothing up. I ain’t changing nothing up. I’m just making good music. That’s what always got me to where I am at."
Check the full track below, and the behind the scenes video, presented by Boosie's own Jewel House clothing line, above.

7. Idriss Deby – Net Worth: $50 Million
AFRICANGLOBE – Africa is the second largest continent in the world. It is also world’s second most populous continent. There are 47 African nations led by leaders who have been ruling for over a decade. Some of these leaders and their families are very rich and their wealth are considered ill-gotten. They make their wealth from natural resources of these nations.
The 7 Richest African Presidents and Kings as of 2014:
Idriss Deby – Net Worth: $50 Million
Country: Chad, Years in Power: 23
Idriss Deby has been the President of Chad since 1990. His net worth is estimated to be $50 million according to Celebrity Net Worth. Towards the end of August 2006, he made international news after calling for his nation to have 60 percent stake in its oil output after receiving crumbs from foreign companies running the industry.


Uber Technologies Inc, which is looking to raise more than $1 billion in cash after a year of crises, said on Monday it would sell a 7.8% stake in its Indian business restaurant search and delivery app Zomato Media Pvt Ltd in a block sale. The move would give Uber’s partner SoftBank Group Corp the option to increase its present 5% stake in Zomato, the company said without detailing the size of the transaction or deadline for completion.
Uber Technologies is planning to sell its stake in Zomato, an e-commerce and restaurant aggregator, for Rs 1,020.4 crore through a block deal. The sale of the stake would give Uber Technologies approximately 7.8% of the total shares in Zomato (equivalent to shares held by Warburg Pincus). Uber will sell all of its shares in Zomato to Warburg Pincus at a price of Rs 1,020.4 crore. This stake sale is subject to regulatory approvals and the approval of all shareholders in Zomato.
In addition to selling shares in Zomato, Uber is also seeking support for its sale of its minority stake in GrabTaxi, the Malaysian online taxi booking application, from shareholders in that company. Uber Technologies is the holding company for its three subsidiaries: Uber Technologies Inc (US), Uber B.V. (Netherlands) and GrabTaxi Holdings Pte. Ltd (Singapore).
Zomato is an e-commerce and restaurant information company that connects consumers to restaurants across the globe. The company also develops food ordering services and operates a large marketplace for restaurants. It completed the acquisition of the remaining stake from Sequoia and other shareholders at an estimated value of $200 million, valuing the company at $770 million. Soon after completing the acquisition, Uber announced that they will be investing $100 million into Zomato.
Uber’s initial investment in Zomato was over $60 million. That amount was invested by Uber co-founder and CEO Travis Kalanick, who also serves as the managing director of the firm and chairman of its India unit. The investment was valued at $200 million, making it one of the largest investments by a US-based tech startup in India.
Zomato’s move to become profitable
Zomato has been attempting to cut down its losses in the past year or so. From Rs 871 crore in FY17, its total losses have dropped to Rs 614 crore in FY18. Zomato continues to be profitable despite the losses. This has been possible due to investments in acquiring a food ordering app called Just Eat. Clearly, not all is well with Zomato as it faces a crucial challenge next year.
Zomato’s stock has increased by 80% since its last listing on the NSE. That being said, some may argue that Zomato is doing well and therefore, there is no need to invest into the company as its fundamentals continue to improve. With the acquisition of Just Eat, Zomato is expected to see better growth in its user base. With the addition of more users, users will start ordering food more often and this would obviously lead to better food delivery service. However, this remains speculative at this point as it remains to be seen if Zomato can actually execute on these plans.
Downgrades investment in Blinkit
A detailed analysis of the financial numbers and performance metrics of Blinkit shows that the company is performing poorly in terms of its revenue growth, net losses and other key metrics. It is not clear why Zomato invested into Blinkit at all as it seems to be a subpar investment by Zomato.
Many have argued that Uber should not have invested at all. One of the primary reasons for Uber’s investment into Zomato is to help with its expansion in India. Uber has been criticized as it is using its investors’ money to further its expansion in India, instead of investing the money into the company itself and improving it further.
Zomato to see a big block deal today as Uber may sell off 7.8% stake
TechCrunch reports that Uber is planning to sell a big block of shares in its Indian business – about 7.7% – representing around 29.8 million shares at a valuation of $274 million, or Rs 1,920 crore approximately. Zomato is currently valued at $1.4 billion and the sale would see it increase its market cap to $2 billion.
Zomato was listed on the National Stock Exchange of India in December 2015. Zomato filed for an IPO listing with the Securities and Exchange Board of India(SEBI) in June 2015 and planned to raise around $100 million in its initial public offering (IPO). The market cap of Zomato has since gone up to over $1 billion, thanks to a recent $100 million investment by US-based Uber.
Till now, Zomato has not gone on to receive a huge amount of funds from its investors but that is about to change. A block deal is likely to take place today and Zomato could possibly see its investors coming to it with a major amount of money at hand. This would help further fuel their plans towards making more investments in the future.
Zomato is one of the first Indian companies to be given access to capital from foreign investors. While the company started off as a local success, it has since gained recognition among international investors. It was also one of the most highly-anticipated IPOs in the country.
Zomato shares jump nearly 20% after June qtr earnings
Zomato shares jumped nearly 20% after the company announced its June quarter earnings. Zomato has seen a lot of progress in terms of its financials and that has helped it gain a lot of love in the stock market. From a low of Rs 229, the stock has shot up to Rs 280 in just two days after the company announced its financial numbers.
Since Zomato was first listed on the NSE, it has not seen too much success in terms of its financial performance. In fact, it has only been able to see its losses increasing every year. One of the primary reasons behind this is that Zomato has been trying to cut down costs while improving its offerings.
Zomato is still making losses but the company says that it will be profitable by next year. We already know that Zomato has been able to cut down its losses from Rs 871 crore in FY17 to Rs 614 crore in FY18. However, the company needs to continue its efforts if it wants to become profitable by next year.
Uber sells 7.8% stake in India’s Zomato for $392 million
In a big move that helps Zomato expand its global footprint, Uber Technologies Inc is selling most of its stake in the online restaurant guide to a US, based private equity funds. Uber owns around 7.8% stake in Zomato and is likely to sell this stake to the PE firm at $388-392 million, according to sources privy on the deal.
The deal values Zomato between $1.6-$1.7 billion, including the proportionate deal value of its remaining primary investor Info Edge, which owns 20% in the company. Zomato’s filing with Sebi also shows that it will use about $75 million to fund its food ordering platform Zomato Order and at least another $75 million towards other expenses mainly towards international expansion, sources said.
Zomato’s shares surged about 20% on Tuesday to close at Rs 55.55 on the NSE
Zomato’s shares surged by 20% over the last week and touched an intraday high of Rs 55.55 on Tuesday. The selling of Uber’s stake in the company is set to contribute to Zomato’s expansion in overseas markets like South Africa and the Middle East. Zomato also recently acquired a Brazilian food ordering startup called Delivery Hero as part of its plan to diversify its business which currently relies heavily on advertising, a person familiar with the development said.
Zomato has over 75 million users, making it one of India’s most popular online food ordering platforms. The company is known for the services of its coupons and discounts. Zomato raising funds from such large investors made it one of the most anticipated IPOs in India. Zomato, a popular restaurant search and discovery app is valued at around $1.7 billion after raising Rs 1,328 crore ($211 million) in its initial public offering (IPO). The company had set the price band of Rs 710-722 per share for its IPO.
Cutting losses: Zomato has reduced its losses from Rs 871 crore to Rs 614 crore, FY18
A financial analysis on the financials of Zomato reveals that the company has been able to cut its losses from Rs 871 crore in FY17 to Rs 614 crore in FY18. This is already a huge success for Zomato as it continues to improve its finances. A detailed analysis shows that the company’s revenue has been increasing but at a slow rate.
Zomato’s revenue increased by just 20% in FY17 and by nearly 3% in FY18. The company has not yet been able to break even and it continues to make losses each year. However, some analysts have predicted that Zomato could be able to cut its losses down to Rs 100 crore as soon as possible since it is on the right track at the moment.
Breakeven goal: Zomato is aiming to be profitable by FY2021
Zomato has already set a breakeven goal for itself by 2021. This is something that could help the company bring in a lot of revenue streams in the future. The company aims to be profitable by this time and it seems like Zomato has been able to budget for itself well enough for this period.
Since Zomato wants to become profitable in five years, it will have to come up with more ways of gaining revenue quickly. Zomato has been working hard towards cutting down costs and making more investments in order to further improve its financials. Zomato’s revenue comes from advertisements, third-party sales and food ordering
Businesses like Zomato are known for their reliance on advertisements. Zomato’s advertising is usually seen on the company’s platform, with both in-house and external studios creating content for it. The company’s advertising revenue has been increasing over the years but at a slow rate. In FY17, it brought in just $47 million as compared to $40 million in FY16.
Zomato share sale: Big block deal at company, seller name unrevealed
Zomato is eyeing a business injection of about Rs 265 crore, with the proceeds from its initial share. The company’s IPO has been highly anticipated because of its competitive position in the food ordering space and the strong domestic market. In fact, it was one of the most talked-about IPOs in India.
As this was not an exchange deal, it did not have to be listed on one exchange but could be listed on multiple exchanges. Zomato is the first listed company that has sold shares in such a manner. Zomato has announced plans to raise $200 million from the share sale, which is part of its plan to expand overseas. The size of this deal highlights the fact that Zomato will be able to get more capital for its operations in international markets than what it was used to in India. This also means that Zomato will probably be able to invest more money into its business.
Zomato has seen a lot of excitement in the stock market since the company’s IPO. Over the last year, Zomato’s share price has increased over 80% and that too in a very short period of time. Now after its share sale, Zomato is all set to set sail and make much more money for its investors.
Zomato’s shares in the market have been growing steadily in the last few months. Over the last year, it has grown by over 80%. However, one of the main reasons behind this growth has also been the huge number of investors who have been buying up Zomato shares. Over the last year, a total of 10,000 investors have bought up shares in what is known as a ‘block deal’.
Zomato has numerous investors both in India and overseas. Some of the investors in Zomato include Tiger Global, Rocket Internet, Info Edge, Steadview Capital and South Africa’s Investec Bank. However, the biggest investor in Zomato is its founder Deepinder Goyal who bought up 12% equity share in the company.
Deepinder Goyal: Zomato’s founder is a major stakeholder
Deepinder Goyal is the founder of Zomato and he has been involved in the company since its inception. He owns 12% stake in the company which is worth over Rs 4,000 crore. Deepinder had earlier admitted that he has made money while investing in different startups and then selling them off at a profit.
Zomato has launched a subscription service called ‘Zomato Prime’ for restaurants via its mobile app. The service is open to all restaurants in India and offers an unlimited number of meals per month.
Bofa securities is the sole book runner for the block deal
Zomato is expected to bring in a lot of money for its investors, who will be buying up shares in the company. BofA Securities, which is a well-known broker in India, is the sole book runner for the deal. This means that only BofA will be helping investors buy up shares in Zomato and the firm expects to bring in a lot of revenue as well.
The first ever IPO of a food-tech company in India has been extremely successful for Zomato. Zomato’s shares have amounted a huge success for its investors who have seen their investment soar after the IPO. Most analysts have predicted that Zomato will be able to raise more funds from the market and that too in the form of more IPOs.
Zomato has become a very popular app for the internet users in India and that too for its restaurant search feature. The company has over 75 million users which is incredible and that too in just a short span of time. Zomato will be bringing in more funds and investors through its IPO and that could lead to more growth as well.
Zomato is the largest online food ordering company in India. It has been able to build a user base of 75 million users and its restaurant search feature has also been a massive success. Zomato offers both in-house and third-party advertisements as well. Zomato is one of the most popular apps in India and has been able to increase its revenue and profits over the last few years.
The company aims to further improve its ways of making money as it continues to grow in the market. Zomato’s shares have already seen a lot of success after its IPO and that probably will continue as well. Once Zomato starts making more profitability, it will definitely be able to become popular all over again.
Zomato is one of the most popular internet services in India today. The company has already received a lot of praise for its quick growth and that too in the food-tech market. Zomato has seen huge success after its IPO and it continues to be one of the fastest growing companies in India.
Zomato has received a lot of praise from the market and that too in such a short period of time. The company has been able to have a massive user-base and its restaurant search feature has also been very popular. Zomato was one of the best performing stocks at the time of its IPO and that is something it will enjoy again after it raises further funds post-IPO.
Zomato has been able to win a lot of popularity in a very short period of time with its restaurant search feature and it continues to grow. Food-tech startups in India are doing well as investors are now seeing the potential that these companies have and Zomato is no exception.
