'Reagan' movie tops Amazon's Blu-ray charts after becoming available on DVD
FRISCO, Texas — This article was originally published by our content partners at the Dallas Business Journal. You can read the original article here . There’s nothing worse than last-minute holiday shopping in a crowded mall, surrounded by others in a frenzy. Thankfully, holiday gift shopping just got a lot easier. Drone-delivery company Wing announced on Dec. 18 it was partnering with DoorDash Inc. and Brookfield Properties to deliver items from local malls to households across Dallas-Fort Worth. Starting today, when shoppers order items and meals from Stonebriar Centre in Frisco and Hulen Mall in Fort Worth through DoorDash, there will be an option to have it delivered by drone. More than 50 merchants will be eligible for drone delivery service. Purchases will be packaged and tethered to a drone that travels 150 feet in the air at speeds of 65 miles per hour. Once it arrives at the delivery location, the drone slowly lowers the tether to the ground, releasing the package on a doorstep. According to Wing, items can be delivered in as quick as 15 minutes. While drone delivery is still new, it represents an innovative approach for companies trying to figure out different ways to move things, and even people , in an increasingly congested region. It's a topic that leaders in fields such as retail, real estate, technology and government are following in North Texas. Wing's drones currently support orders up to three pounds. If all items of a delivery can’t fit onto one drone, the order may be split up into multiple boxes carried by different drones. As of now, there is no fee for drone delivery. The partnership aims to help businesses make use of underutilized spaces, such as rooftops or excess parking, and reach more consumers. Only certain addresses are currently eligible and can be checked here . Dallas is the third city that Wing and DoorDash (NYSE: DASH) are partnering in, following pilot programs in Melbourne, Australia and Christiansburg, Virginia . The partnership expansion with Brookfield Properties marks the first time a landlord has tapped into its drone delivery services, with plans to continue throughout 2025. Brookfield Properties Senior Vice President of Business Development Katie Kurtz said that the commercial real estate giant is committed to meeting the changing needs of the ways people shop. The New York City-based company has more than 9,000 employees and manages $141 billion in assets. In the past five years, Wing has completed more than 400,000 commercial deliveries globally. The company is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG), Google ’s parent company. Drone delivery services have slowly ramped up across Dallas-Fort Worth, making the Metroplex a hub for drone innovation. Earlier this year, Walmart (NYSE: WMT) dropped drone services in three states to focus on operations in the Dallas area. The retail giant partners with a handful of drone companies, including Wing , DroneUp and Zipline . With authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly beyond the pilot's line of sight, Walmart has outlined a goal of being able to deliver to 1.8 million households in DFW by the end of 2024.FMC Corporation announces election of Anthony DiSilvestro to Board of Directors

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) said that if President-elect Donald Trump had his Department of Justice go after political enemies, it would be “banana republic stuff.” When asked about January 6 committee members potentially being prosecuted, Goldman said, “Donald Trump’s entire purpose with his selection for the FBI is to do just that and to jail his political enemies, that’s banana republic stuff. It’s not just bad for the political enemies and for a political system, is undermines our entire rule of law. It undermines the credibility of every single prosecution that’s out there, and you see that because defendants all around the country are making these allegations that their prosecutions are political. He’s already undermined the institutions and he will go much further if Kash Patel is confirmed.” Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “So, congressman, quick follow-up. You speak of political enemies of Donald Trump. You served as lead counsel in the first impeachment trial of Trump when he was in office the last time. Would you be considered a political enemy? Are you fearful that you could be targeted or prosecuted?” Goldman said, “I’ve been on enemy’s lists and, you know, I guess that is a possibility. I welcome that possibility. I hope that they put their attention on me and not the good men and women who are career public servants in the federal government who are just doing their jobs and who are really subject to retribution. I can happily and ably stand up for myself and I have a megaphone here in Congress. I have a speech and debate clause defenses, so yes, if he’s going to attack his enemy, please bring it on, Donald Trump.” Follow Pam Key on X @pamkeyNENDow Jones Index: The Game-Changer?

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 19, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- The Business Research Company's Early Year-End Sale! Get up to 30% off detailed market research reports-limited time only! How Much Has The Breakfast Cereal Market Grown In Recent Years , And What Are The Drivers For This Growth? The breakfast cereal market size has witnessed notable growth in recent years, reaching from $64.11 billion in 2023 to $67.89 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate CAGR of 5.9%. This expansion during the historical period is primarily driven by consumers' shift towards convenient breakfast options, advertising and branding campaigns, increased health and nutritional awareness, innovations in packaging and portability, as well as cultural and regional breakfast habits. Dive deeper into these market trends by accessing a detailed sample of the report: Are There Predicted Trends For The Breakfast Cereal Market Beyond 2024? Indeed, the breakfast cereal market is projected to experience substantial growth in the coming years, rising to $83.1 billion in 2028 with a CAGR of 5.2%. This forecasted growth can be attributed to the increasing emphasis on health and wellness, sustainable practices, the usage of plant-based and functional ingredients, global culinary influences, and strategies targeting specific demographics. Apart from these factors, major trends influencing the future growth of the market include innovations in shapes and textures, sustainable packaging practices, customization and personalization of products, increasing digital engagement and marketing, and the introduction of protein-enriched options. You can obtain the full report here: What Is Driving The Profit Margins For Food And Beverage Companies, Including Breakfast And Cereal Manufacturers? One crucial driver to note is the falling prices of crops due to overcapacity in many countries globally. This pattern is projected to result in lower raw material costs for food and beverage companies, leading to increased profit margins. For example, in November 2022, a bailout package of $842 million was announced by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs for farmers in the sugar production sectors in India, as reported by Frontline, a national magazine on agriculture. This package was intended to set a minimum selling price and create a buffer stock of sugar due to a recent price drop caused by overproduction. Overproduction of certain crops is therefore likely to result in higher profit margins for food and beverage companies, including breakfast and cereal manufacturing companies, potentially leading to increased productivity and market growth onwards. What Players Dominate The Breakfast Cereal Market? Key industry players involved in the breakfast cereal market include Nestlé S.A., PepsiCo Inc., Abbott Nutrition, The Kraft Heinz Company, Associated British Foods plc, General Mills Inc., Kellanova, The Campbell Soup Company, Post Holdings Inc., Gruma S.A.B. de C.V., and more. They have continuously shaped the market landscape and contributed to its growth. What Are The Emerging Trends In The Breakfast Cereal Manufacturing Industry? Breakfast cereal manufacturing companies are progressively adopting robotic and automation technology to maximize production efficiency. Systems like these automate the batching, conveying, processing, storage, and packaging of cereal products, reducing production cycle time and boosting output. The automation process in these plants is also enhancing plant conditions, reducing contamination, and minimizing human interaction, making the whole process safer for both workers and consumers. The breakfast cereal market is segmented as follows: 1 By Type: Oats Breakfast Cereal, Grains Breakfast Cereal, Other Breakfast Cereal 2 By Product: Ready-to-Eat RTE, Hot Cereals 3 By Packaging: Boxes, Pouches, Other Packagings 4 By Distribution Channel: Supermarkets/Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, E-Commerce, Other Distribution Channels Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the breakfast cereal market in 2023, followed by North America falling second in place.
