Amazon drivers have devised a plan to increases their chances of grabbing new delivery orders at a Whole Foods Store – hanging smartphones in trees. Bloomberg spotted at least a dozen phones connected to branches outside a location in Chicago. The devices belong to contractors of the Amazon Flex app, which chooses drivers to carry out deliveries based on proximity to the grocery store – giving those with a device in the tree first dibs at a new order. There are a handful of drivers in on the scheme, as multiple devices will receive the same alert making it difficult for the tech giant to uncover the system, sources said. Another person familiar with the matter said the setup is a work around for certain requirements, like having a drivers license - a Flex contractor will pay some one a small amount to take the route, while still taking a portion of the fee. A driver who has observed the phones hanging in trees said Amazon knows about it, 'but does nothing.' Amazon drivers have

An online fundraiser has drawn more than $130,000 in donations to help the family of two young girls who were photographed last week relying on a California Taco Bell's free WiFi to finish their homework.  The photo of the girls was shared on Instagram last week and has since gone viral, raising concerns about the 'digital divide' between affluent and low-income families during the coronavirus pandemic.  A representative of the Salinas City Elementary School District has confirmed that the girls in the picture are students in the district and said that officials have since provided wireless hotspots for the family to use.

Downing Street last night warned that striking a Brexit trade deal will now be ‘very difficult’ unless Brussels drops its demands over fishing and state aid. The EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier travelled to London yesterday for informal talks with UK counterpart David Frost amid growing gloom about the chances of a breakthrough. Formal talks will resume next week, but ministers warn privately that, with the two sides still far apart, there is little sign of progress with only a month left to strike a deal.  Failure to reach an agreement by the beginning of October would mean the UK leaving without a deal when the Brexit transition period finishes at the end of this year.  The EU’s chief negotiator Michel Barnier (pictured right) travelled to London yesterday for informal talks with UK counterpart David Frost (pictured left) amid growing gloom about the chances of a breakthrough The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said a deal was ‘still possible and still our goal’, but added:

A man is accused of randomly assaulting several people on a Wollongong street, including a pregnant woman. About 11.45am on Tuesday officers from Wollongong Police District were patrolling Corrimal Street, Wollongong, when they came across a man allegedly punching members of the public. A man is accused of randomly assaulting several people on a Wollongong street, including a pregnant woman Police have been told the man approached a woman - who is seven months pregnant - and deliberately barged into her, knocking her into a fence. No one was injured as a result of the incident. A 46-year-old man was arrested and taken to Wollongong Hospital for assessment, before being taken to Wollongong Police Station, where he was charged with common assault. The man was refused bail and will appear in Wollongong Local Court on Wednesday.

Even after all this time, they still don’t understand us. The European Union clearly expects Britain, once again, to surrender its fishing grounds and betray its coastal communities for the sake of a wider, post-Brexit free trade agreement with Brussels. Why else would the EU’s lead negotiator, Michel Barnier, display such intransigence as a no-deal scenario looms closer? Rather than banking the uncontroversial parts of a UK-EU free trade deal, Barnier, who arrived in London yesterday for last-ditch talks, insists that a UK ‘cave-in’ on fisheries is a pre-condition for agreement on, well, anything else. After all, as Eurocrats keep assuring one another, fishing accounts for barely 0.1 per cent of the UK economy. Ruinous Is it really conceivable, they ask, that Boris Johnson will jeopardise the interests of Britain’s banking, insurance and investment industries for the sake of what has become almost a heritage industry? They choose to ignore the reality that no British government could

Every dollar I had,' said the Gold Digger hitmaker.  Big bucks: Kanye West has claimed he spent $50 million on his Sunday Service last year The father-of-four continued, 'I spent $50 million last year on Sunday Service if you add up the operas, if you add up the flights. It was 120 people going to Jamaica.'  'The Yeezys, they were selling themselves. So instead of paying for ads, I invested it in the church. I invested in spreading gospel. I invested in saying Jesus' name on high.'
