Here's Every Apple Watch Series 4 Collection Going Up for Pre-Order on September 14
The debut of new Apple Watch models every year brings an assortment of non-customizable collections, which bundle in one case finish (Stainless Steel or Aluminum) with one band. If you're interested in the new Apple Watch Series 4, you'll have to purchase one of these collections in order to get the advantages of the Series 4's new and bigger display, thinner size, ECG monitor, and more.

Regarding the new 40mm and 44mm case sizes, Apple has slightly increased the height of the Series 4 cases and updated the size options to reflect that change. As a rule of thumb, if you've worn 38mm Apple Watches in the past, go for 40mm in Series 4, and if you've previously worn 42mm cases, then the 44mm Series 4 should fit you well.

FoodChain ID to Attend Expo East - Helping Natural Product Companies Meet Growing Demand for Transparency
FoodChain ID, based in Fairfield, Iowa will be a featured vendor at the Natural Products Expo East 2018 (booth #2218) to be held in Baltimore, MD from September 13-15. The company’s USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verification and testing and services help natural product companies meet the growing consumer demand for food transparency.
FAIRFIELD, Iowa (PRWEB) September 13, 2018
FoodChain ID, based in Fairfield, Iowa will be a featured vendor at the Natural Products Expo East 2018 (booth #2218) to be held in Baltimore, MD from September 13-15. The company’s USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verification and testing and services help natural product companies meet the growing consumer demand for food transparency.
Natural Products Expo East is co-located at the Baltimore Convention Center with All Things Organic/Biofach America, Natural Products Association East, and Harvest Festival. It is timed in early fall to offer an opportunity for natural and organic brands to tell their stories and showcase products ahead of the new year. It has become one of the industry’s premier events for products that center on health, wellness, community building and sustainability.
Foodchain ID is the leader in Non-GMO Project Verification and testing, and a global leader in Organic certification as well as certification and testing for other food and agricultural products. This allows global food companies achieve regulatory compliance and validate label claims.
As the natural products industry developed and both consumers and government regulators began to call for greater food transparency, FoodChain ID launched food safety and certification services such as the FoodChain ID (formerly Cert ID) Non-GMO Certification. The company’s Non-GMO certification is now the most widely recognized global standard for certifying Non-GMO food production operations in the world.
In fact, since 2007, as the founding technical administrator for the Non-GMO Project and a major contributor to its product verification program, FoodChain ID has verified three quarters of the Non-GMO Project Verified market in North America—over 50,000 products representing thousands of brands, manufacturers, processors, growers, distributors, packers, and exporters.
As food safety standards were put into place worldwide, global companies were required to navigate an increasingly regulated food economy. To meet this need, FoodChain ID offered key GFSI-benchmarked food safety and food quality certifications including SQF, BRC, GlobalG.A.P. and ISO 22000.
This demand for higher levels of transparency, accountability, safety and sustainability have fueled FoodChain ID’s growth. Most recently, the company acquired BioAgricert, an Italian-based company that specializes in worldwide certification of organic foods, which is a high-demand market segment.
The company now has offices in the U.S., U.K., Belgium, Brazil, Germany and Italy serving over 30,000 clients globally. Looking forward, Foodchain ID estimates having over 31,000 global clients by the close of 2018.
About FoodChain ID
FoodChain ID, previously known as Global ID Group, provides integrated food safety and food quality solutions that address the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving food industry. Serving more than 30,000 clients in over 100 countries with a market-leading portfolio of testing, inspection, certification and consulting services, FoodChain ID helps companies navigate an increasingly regulated global food economy demanding higher levels of transparency, accountability, safety and sustainability.

EUR/USD: Still too early for a sustained uptrend driven by the ECB - Danske Bank
According to analysts from Danske Bank, the European Central Bank showed confidence today that the Eurozone is moving in the right direction, but it is still too early for a sustained uptrend in EUR driven by the central bank.
*Key Quotes: *
“With Draghi’s confidence that the euro zone is heading in the right direction dominating any dovish impulse from the small downward growth adjustments, EUR crosses jumped during the press conference with EUR/USD reaching 1.1697, helped also by a weaker-than-expected US inflation print. While it is still a tad too early for the FX market to discount an end to negative rates – which will be key for delivering more broad-based EUR strength, monetary conditions have started to turn less EUR negative judging from notably M3 growth. That is in our view a pre-warning of what to watch as the ECB stops adding to its balance sheet by year end.”
“We still see a risk that USD strength will linger in H2 due to the prospect for relative rates to move in favour of the greenback and trade woes and EM worries to weigh still. However, in relation to EUR, we are less worried about Italy-led risks near term, and hence the potential for a significant dip in EUR/USD near term is smaller than we previously anticipated and dips below 1.15 should be bought into.”
“The *key trigger for EUR/USD to invoke on a more sustained uptrend remains a turn in capital flows* and those will likely not be triggered until the market sense that the ECB is growing ever more confident in initiating a hiking cycle (not likely until H1 2019). But, it is still too early for a sustained EUR uptrend driven by ECB in our view.” Reported by FXstreet.com 2 days ago.

Bullion Trader Eyes £100m Turnover Target with US and European Expansion
A Birmingham-based gold dealer expects sales of £100m with US and European expansion. BullionByPost is exporting for the first time across the world with the launch of new international websites.
BIRMINGHAM, U.K. (PRWEB UK) 13 September 2018
A Birmingham-based bullion dealer is exporting for the first time with the launch of BullionByPost EU and BullionByPost USA.
BullionByPost is an online dealer of gold and silver bars and coins and trades with private investors solely using ecommerce platforms.
The business has decided to focus on Europe, specifically BullionByPost Ireland, BullionByPost France, Orissimo Italy and the US where it has noted particular demand.
The firm turned to the Department for International Trade (DIT) to support the launch of its new websites, by providing information about trademarks and online tax considerations.
The company has said the new websites are on course to boost annual turnover by 10 per cent or £12.5m and expects to grow to £100m within three years.
Founder Rob Halliday-Stein said: "Since launching the business in 2009, we have devised a successful business model in the UK based on online commerce, product expertise and a high level of customer service.
"BullionByPost has already seen success domestically, and our ambition is to continue replicating these achievements across the globe in the months and years to come.
"The Department for International Trade has supported and encouraged us as we developed the new websites and understood our decision to focus on these priority markets.
"For any businesses looking to either start or grow their exporting journey, I would advise speaking to DIT to form a comprehensive overseas ecommerce strategy – there is a world of opportunity out there and DIT is helping British businesses tap into it. If we can do it, so can you."
Ian Harrison, head of exports in the Midlands for the DIT, added: "Rob and the team at BullionByPost have demonstrated great ambition and an entrepreneurial mindset in their approach to exporting.
"We know that exploring the world of ecommerce isn’t without its complexities, particularly when it comes to language barriers, translations and protecting trademarks.
"That’s why we have a team of Midlands-based International Trade Advisers on hand to help businesses overcome these hurdles and trade with overseas buyers effectively.
"I would encourage any business considering exporting to contact us today to find out how we can help." Reported by PRWeb 1 day ago.

Do not avoid the wounds of the Church, pope says in Sicily
Palermo, Italy, Sep 15, 2018 / 06:21 am (CNA/EWTN News).- In Sicily Saturday, Pope Francis said the wounds of the Church and the world are the wounds of Christ, and they must be touched and seen.
“To consider the wounds of society and of the Church is not a defamatory and pessimistic action,” the pope said Sept. 15. “If we want to give substance to our faith, we must learn to recognize in these human sufferings the same wounds of the Lord.”
“Look at them, touch them. To touch the wounds of the Lord in our wounds, in the wounds of our society, our families, our people, our friends. Touch the wounds of the Lord there,” he said.
“And this means for us Christians to take the history and the flesh of Christ as a place of salvation and liberation.”
The pope spoke during a day trip to Palermo, which included a stop in the central-Sicilian town of Piazza Armerina. In his speech to the Catholics of the area, he noted the many “wounds” which affect them, such as social and cultural underdevelopment, exploitation of workers, lack of youth employment, alcoholism, addiction, and the loss of family ties.
“In the face of so much suffering, the ecclesiastical community may appear, at times, disoriented and tired,” he said. Though sometimes, “thanks to God, it is lively and prophetic, while seeking new ways of announcing and offering mercy above all to those brothers who have fallen into disinterest, into mistrust, into the crisis of faith.”
He said he recognizes the difficulty of keeping the faith in the midst of such problems and encouraged young people to approach their priests and bishops and tell them if they are having difficulty trusting in the Church.
“So many times, I have heard some young people say: ‘Yes, I trust God, but not the Church,’” the pope said. “But why? – ‘Because I am against priests.’ Ah, you are against priests, then approach the priest and say: ‘I do not trust you for this, for this and for this.’”
“Also approach the Bishop and say to him: ‘I do not trust this Church, for this and for this reason.’ This is courageous youth! But with the desire to hear the answer,” he said. To priests, Francis said to “have patience,” to listen to young people and dialogue with them.
He said the ministerial priesthood and the Eucharist are inseparable, because “the priest is the man of the Eucharist” and addressing priests, he encouraged them to “gather around the bishop and among themselves to bring the Lord to all.”
“Dear priests, how necessary it is to patiently build the joy of the [priestly] family, loving each other and supporting one another!” he said.
Priests, he continued, are called to be the first to overcome prejudices and “the first to pause in humble contemplation before the difficult history of this earth, with the wise pastoral charity which is a gift of the Spirit.”
“Consoled by God, you can be comforters, wipe away tears, heal wounds, rebuild lives, broken lives that trustfully entrust themselves to your ministry,” he stated.
At the end of the encounter, the pope prepared to give his apostolic blessing, but asked, beforehand, for everyone to prepare their hearts to receive it. “Think of [your] friends. And also think of [your] enemies, the people I do not love, and who do not love me. Open your heart to everyone, because this blessing descends on everyone,” he said.
After the visit to Piazza Armerina, Pope Francis traveled by helicopter to Palermo, where he celebrated Mass in a park near the city’s beachfront, in memory of 25 years since the death of Don Giuseppe “Pino” Puglisi, who was assassinated by Mafia hitmen on Sept. 15, 1993.
In his homily, the pope condemned the Mafia, saying whoever is a member of the Mafia “does not live as a Christian,” because his life blasphemes God.
Don Pino used to say, “If everyone does something, a lot can be done,” Francis repeated, asking: “How many of us put these words into practice?” Standing before God today, ask yourself the questions: “What can I do? What can I do for others, for the Church?”
“Do not wait for the Church to do something for you, you begin. Do not wait for society, you start!” the pope continued. “Do not think of yourself, do not run away from your responsibility, choose love!”
He said: The victory of faith is found in the daily gift of self. Just as it is written on the tomb of Don Puglisi: “No one has greater love than this: to give his life for his friends.”
“Lord, give us the desire to do good; to seek the truth detesting falsehood; to choose sacrifice, not laziness; love, not hate; forgiveness, not revenge,” he prayed. Reported by CNA 22 hours ago.
